Nlfmalite VSCOTTY'S SUCCESS ASSEMBLY PLEASES BROMLEY AGAIN \ gt;-\"lS"'aOT,ISNTC " WHIZ BANG —By Jimmie Stoddard Congratulations, Sivert Skotheim! Undoubtedly, as the Campus day adjutant general, yon tackled the biggest job of the year, what with controlling the actions of the entire student body, appointing a host of majors, captains, couriers, first aiders, field marshals, fire chiefs, etc, and outlining a program of work and play for the big event of the spring season... Generalissimo Bond also deserves many thanks for his work as a director on the campus and as the "bull of the woods" at Normalstad. W.S.N.S. The assembly programs were Worked out to perfection and provided unusual entertainment for a most outstanding attentive and appreciative audience. And the dance that evening! In the vernacular of the college student, it was a honey. And the impressions left by that dance band are not soon to be forgotten. Their interpretations and most rhythmic and musical orchestrations will go down as the outstanding dance band presentation of the season. —W.S.N.S. Going back to the assembly program Tuesday afternoon. Perhaps a certain class of individuals cannot understand why the students responded the. way they did to that program. The reason is very simple. Comparatively we are only children as yet and are certainly going to absorb that type of interpretive music at the age we are now, rather than the kind that goes clear over our heads on the wings of a screeching soprano, or on the loud pedal of a Steinway. —W.S.N.S. Rumor has it that Harold Bromley, noted- hardluck trans-oceanic flyer, is contemplating another of his famous hops to no place and back. As a little side bet, well wager that he has about as much chance of landing where he plans to as he has to tailspin into Grif-fen's Sports Slants on page four. W.S.N.S. The Sunday section of one of the Seattle papers had an interesting paradox. On the front page, the lead story covered all the details of the assassination of President Paul Doumer, of Prance. Under a picture inside the caption read: ". . . The Thiepval memorial will be dedicated next month. . . The Prince of Wales and President Doumer will officiate." "A tangible illustration of the fleeting seconds between 'is' and 'isn't.'—The Daily. ——W.S.N.S.— Isn't it a' strange fact that the newspaper reading world ,is always kept at a tense climax through the medium of outstanding world happenings? It often puzzles us because of the regularity of events happening to keep the world awake, fust as the Honolulu affair is ending and the tremendous propaganda about the Lindbergh baby is staging a fade-out a Russian fanatic takes a snapshot at President Doumer of France and parts his hair a little too low gt; Wonder what will happen next? Has fate arranged another murder,- kidnaping, shipwreck, or transoceanic flop for this world of news hungry mortals or shall we be content lo drift along on mere depressions; W-all Street crashes and shekel troubles, in schools of higher education? Your guess is as good as ours.

The Board of Control will act upon this subject in regard to budgets, etc., for the fall quarter so that students may know something of the matter in the near future. Lack of Money Football is far from paying for itself in this school and it seems that unless a change in the budgets is made immediately some drastic measure will have to be taken in this regard. The lack of money hinders the subsidizing of players in order that the school keep up with competition with other schools and as some of the faculty and students have said, the subsidization of men is a very vicious policy to carry on in a teacher training school where scholarship is given the leading weight. Intramural Ball Each fall quarter, students pay approximately $3.00 for football expenses that go to a very small number of boys alone. Mr. Ruckmick favors the possibilities of inter-club and class football that will engage many more men and reduce expenses greatly providing that varsity football is not continued. The democracy of a situation where so few people benefit from the game that so many students pay for, is highly disputable when tuition fees are continually rising to keep the school up to its nearly normal condition. Competition too Distant Competition with other schools makes up the major purpose of a football team and when a squad from such a relatively small school as this and with such a small athletic budget has to travel hundreds of miles every game it can be plainly seen why financial difficulties arise. We also cannot compete with schools that use the popular method of "buying" their prayers. President Fisher President Fisher states that we have had too much athletics in schools that develop winning teams, to the neglect of the physical and the health development of all of the students of an institution. The lowering of standards of scholarship for the sake of developing winning teams and the management of athletics upon a commercial basis have justly brought criticism upon (Continued on Page Four) o— CALENDAR FRIDAY—May 13. 4 p. m., Rec Hour in the big gym.

" W H A T MUST BE T H E F U T U R E O F INTERC O L L E G I A T E FOOTBALL IN BELLINGHAM N O R M A L ? " That question is now before the students of the school as it has never been before. Soon the Board of Control will plan the budget for the coming year and at that time must make definite decisions that will effect the athletic policy for years to come. O F T H E T O T A L Associated Student budget, 3 0 % goes each year for athletics, or a total of $4254.00. More than 5 0 % of the athletic budget is spent on intercollegiate football alone. $2228.00 was spent during the last fall quarter for football equipment, officials, traveling expenses, and awards. E V E R Y S T U D E N T in school pays approximately $3.00 during fall quarter for the support of the intercollegiate football program! That 750 students pay three dollars apiece for football is surprising. The next question is, "Does each of these 750 students benefit to the extent of three dollars from intercollegiate football?" T H E F O O T B A L L players themselves receive the greatest benefit. About forty turn out for the sport in the fall quarter. Of this number about twelve from year to year could be considered as really benefitting from football. A few students drop football before the end of the quarter, and approximately one-fourth quit or are dropped from school after fall quarter. The students who come back for the second year and enroll in a teaching course, this number being about twelve, are the only ones who definitely benefit from intercollegiate football. A POSSIBILITY, if football is to be continued is to adopt an intramural program at a much lower cost. Football might be continued as a sport within the school with benefit to more students. B E L L I N G H AM NORMAL competes with schools who are able to and allegedly do "buy" players. We are not able to "buy" football men nor would we do so if able. At the same time we are classed with these schools and are criticized because we can not win games and because we have a low athletic rating. T H E Q U E S T I O N of football is to be decided by the Board of Control. It will be up to them to make adjustments in the budget and if a saving is made through limiting football expenditures, they will decide whether the fees are to be lowered or the money spent on such projects as the development of Normalstad. T H E Q U E S T I O N remains, "What must be the future of intercollegiate football in Bellingham Normal?" This question should be thought through by every student. It should be evaluated, and the benefits of football weighed against the expenses and the number who benefit. It is a question that must be met, and every person has the opportunity to express his opinion. T H E COLUMNS of the Northwest Viking are open for any opinion that students or faculty wish to express. It is hoped that the Board of Control will have the opportunity of hearing as many suggestions as possible before making their decision. —R. W. C.

T H E DAY IS over but our memories linger on. And what memories. Unless we're mistaken this campus day was the most completely successful one of which Bellingham Normal can boast. S I V E R T SKOTHEIM, general chairman, deserves a world of praise for the way he organized and directed the events of the day. With becoming modesty, "Skottie" stresses the amount of co-operation he has received; even the weather co-operated. We, too, thank everyone for their co-operation, weather included, and make the wish that more such spirit will be seen around this school. What a perverted taste in music we students have. We actually seemed to appreciate such primitive tunes as "Saint Louis Blues" after all our excellent classical education and association with "the better things of life." Tut! Tut!

To look over this beautiful 40-acre tract on Lake Whatcom is to dream immediately of things that could be done to develop it into a school playground. Clearing was done on Campus day, and a start made on the cabin to be used as a dressing room. With more interest and more money to spend, a dance pavilion could be built on the site and provisions made for swimming and boating. Viking Haven in time could become an ideal place for school parties and .many social functions. If the athletic policy should be changed, some of the athletic program might be switched to Lake Whatcom in the form of crew racing and other aquatic sports. , V I K I N G H E A V E N is indeed something to be kept in mind and every possible means employed to further its development. Oi wottaheadache—could that punch have been spiked? And I had only fifteen glasses—the day after Campus day is no time to write a "colyum"—Where's that pole cat? The bravest man of the day was Prexy, for having the courage to appear in that outfit- Dirty work at the crossroads, Eddie Arntzen being bribed for a place in the front row with a yellow tulip— Presty Wright and Jean Murray finding the oddest things under the cushions on the terrace—Jack Knuppenburg being accused of driving a truck just because he was dancing with June-Welch—and another antelope bit the dust—Glenn Campbell and Walt Schlilaty playing catch with a soggy apple from vantage points of the top of the fire .escape and the ground beneath—that cute bouquet of pansies presented to our deah editah—how ironically appropriate —It wasn't the dancing on my feet I minded—it was the jumping on and off that bothered me! Miss Kangley has gone upstage, and has taken to driving along Garden street on account of the hitch hikers 'tis said—it is sincerely hoped that this will be a hint to her! Seen: A picture of.perfect adoration; Gerda Jensen fondly watching Davy Jones' every movement as he sweeps the floor—Ah—men. Honestly tho, Bobo Baxter is simply the most logical mathematician you ever heard propound—72x2—72 is equal to 72—Gosh it's great the audible workings of these master minds! That pole-cat has been found—Virgil Weidemann spilled a whole gallon of vanilla on himself the other day and then came to school smelling like a pensy. From now on "he'll take sarsparilla." It' is unofficially rumored that the new cognomen for Normalstad is to be BhurpviUe, said cognomen having been contributed by none other than that intellectual— Erwin Leatha. It's just a rumor of course —Personally, I favor Zilchacres or possibly Kolstad Kommon. And so to figure out Q]/2 good reasons why one lovely pair of clean trousers is better than three pairs of dirty cords! o Student Opinion The success of Emily Dow's recital, in comparison with the receptions accorded outside talent, is an ample proof that the students are in favor of student assemblies. For years there has been a lot of inattention, lack of appreciation and response, and unfavorable comments about the assembly programs, but nothing has ever been done. So we must still go on suffering before sopranos and world peace speakers. Our tastes are simple—ah, but there's the rub. We are led to water, high class water, and forced to try to imbibe. It can not be done. At that period in the day, in the midst of classes and just before lunch time, we are in need of something simpler, something more relaxing. If we have to go to assembly we want to drop all serious thought, not to have to think to appreciate music or speaker. Miss Dow, we felt, was one of us. There existed between us a common and sympathetic bond, so we were willing to match wits with her. Her program was adapted to the audience and in the singing of her bow we found rest and freedom from all school thoughts. In this school there is more such talent that can be used to make up other programs which will be equally fine and enjoyable. But the use of such talent will be more pleasing to the audience, and have an educational and monetary value to those involved. At the same time, the Associated Students can save money by paying smaller fees, thereby satisfying everyone. —K. S. frame. To avoid embarrassment his name will not be mentioned only in connection with Viking Manor and Doris Barron. At Mullins Hall the paddle squad met with showers of something hurled from a well fmed.glass. Anyway their room will smeii of burned toast for weeks and maybe months. After work was over eats began and Jimmy Stoddard ate about fifteen milk nickels. Jess Sutton filled up on his favorite fruit, apples. The faculty managed to get their 20 cents worth of lunch and maybe more. In making over Sehome hill the girls chased Myron Chandler around so much he felt he'd" much rather have worked. Maybe it's those adorable blonde curls. Erwin Leatha helped in clearing a better path on the hill and his report is that after the path was fixed they dug a tunnel t o the reservoir but the water started c o m i ng through so they had to plug it up again, but don't believe it. •• The painters set .a new record for putting into shape the tennis courts. New lines anu newly painted nets make tennis a pleasure. The workers even did their bit in painting the toes of girls' shoes white. At least Johnny Kienast did. Gee, it was fun, and even the janitor says the students didn't leave such a bad mess as they have in previous years.

The Loggers will come north smarting under the defeat that the Vikings administered two weeks ago at Tacoma. They have been improving rapidly of late and should even be stronger than they were on their home lot. Coach Roy Sand-berg boasts a host of heavy hitters along with a strong pitching staff and an airtight defense. Masterson to Chuck The fans tomorrow will have a chance to witness a local boy who has been making it hot for all the opposition this season, when Bob Masterson, former Whatcom flash, will start in the' box for the Loggers. A number of the Logger stars need no introduction on the hilltop as the fans are well acquainted with such names as Gagnon, Ennis, Pettibone and Sterling, who does the .catching. "Pop" Gunn would like nothing better than to make it two straight over the Loggers this season. The Vikings played hangup ball in the season's opener to win handily, 9 to 4. Lineup Intact Buck Loomis will again be called to start on the hillock for the Nor-malites. Loomis beat the Loggers when he let them of f with but seven scattered hits and won his second start last Friday against St. Martin's. The lineup tomorrow will be the same as the St. Martin's game with the exception of Flint, who will replace Macomber behind the platter. Boyd Staggs, popular umpire, will officiate. o VikingsTWill Meet Loggers Tomorrow In Racket Contest A return tennis match will be played here against C. P. S. Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Five single matches will be played and two doubles. The five men playing singles for the Vikings will be Houghton, Wahl^ Fisher, Lahtonen, and Bond. For C. P. S. there will be Piety. Teats, Innis, Norman, and Swan. Houghton and Wahl will play doubles against Piety and Teats, and Fisher and Bond will play Innis and Norman. Bellingham Normal won the last tennis match against C. P. S., but it was very close. This will be the outstanding match of the year played on the home court, and will be well worth your time to see it. ILLNESSES ARE CAUSE OF ABSENCE REPORTS GAME OF HANDBALL POPULAR IN SPRING That popular game which was introduced among the knights and ladies of the sixteenth century as "Jeu de Paume" (the game of hand) has at 'last come into its own. A number of girls are seen occasionally on the handball courts practicing diligently, and from the language used handball must be an annoying game. Peggy Shudshift, that fair, eager and animated blonde of the institution, is willing to swear that handball is one of the hardest games to play that she knows. The well-known "Pop" Gunn says that handball is "his" game. He likes nothing better than a fast game of handball, "and if you don't believe it's fast, try it!" Handball has increased in popularity among the girls this spring and if the weather remains the same there will be some fast games next week. WAHL STEPS UP TO SECOND POSITION IN TENNIS TOURNAMENT Lovegren Moves to Fourth Place in Golf Ladder; Next ' Friday Is Finish Very little activity has been taking place in the ladder tournaments now that spring weather, with its usual laziness, has come to stay. However, a few matches have been played in tennis and golf. Wahl in Second The only change in the tennis ladder is the advancement of Wahl from third to second place. Now that Luke Wahl is there he will be kept busy defending it as only two men will be taken to Ellensburg next week and most of the men would like to make the trip. Luke has been playing very good tennis lately (it may be his new racket) and should make the trip with Willie Houghton, No. 1 man. Few Matches In the golf ladder, Hugh Lovegren has jumped up from sixth to fourth place. Up to the present time the standings are as follows: McBeath, Lahtonen, Sells and Lovegren. The horseshoe and handball ladders have remained the same since last week but more playing should take place soon as the tournaments end on May 20. DE WITT DEFEATED BY PETERSON IN TUSSLE Caused by illnesses, there have been quite a few absences from school. Most, of the absences have only been a day or two. Waco Foster has been out of school two days. Frances Dewey is improving nicely and will probably leave St. Joseph's hospital soon. From Edens Hall, Olive Drum is out of school because of an extracted tooth. y Having had trouble with her eyes, Harriet Markusen is now back in school. Colds have kept Marion HUburn and Kathleen Roberts from school a day. Other reported illnesses are Dorothy DeVine, Carolyn Kenyon and Dona Gill. In a baseball game last Thursday managed by Margaret Peterson and Winnifred DeWitt excitement ran high as the Peterson girls put the score up to 14 in the sixth inning, thus defeating the DeWitt girls in a close game. Both teams were evenly matched and in the first three innings the score was 3 to 1 in favor of the DeWitt team. Elizabeth Scheuhle pitched for DeWitt and Dorothy Top for Peterson. HERALD REVIVES OLD NORMAL ART EXHIBIT This article was published in the Bellingham Herald's Twenty-five years ago" column. The art exhibit at the Normal school opened yesterday. Over 200 pictures are on exhibition, the affair being under the direction of Miss Ada Hogle, art instructor at the Normal. Tomorrow afternoon the ladies of the faculty will receive informally the members of the various clubs and organizations of the city. Miss Catherine Montgomery, Miss Belle Sperry, Miss LeConte, Mrs: Ada Smith, Miss Nellie Gray, Miss Ida Baker, Miss Frances Hays, Miss Eleanor Miller, Miss Dawson, and possibly the wives of the married members of toe faculty will receive, i HOLD U. FROSH IN FAST CINDER TILT Schlilaty and Thomas Lead Way for Frosh Speedsters in Dash Events PLUMB OUTCLASSED Although the Vikings lost their annual dual meet with the University of Washington Frosh Wednesday afternoon, May 12, at the same time the Normal thinclads made one of the most impressive sowings in recent Frosh clashes, when they were defeated 72% to 58%. Dashes Bright Spot What seemed likely to be quite a duel in the dash events proved to be a walk-away by Schlilaty when he reeled off the 100-yard dash in 10 seconds flat to defeat Plumb, Frosh flash. Schlilaty again proved his supremacy in the 220-yard dash when he ran away rdm the field to finish in 22.2 seconds, with his teammate, Thomas, placing second, ahead of Plumb. Gable Stars Johnnie Gable again leaped into fame when he broke his own Waldo field record by hopping 22 feet % inches. At the pole Gable is improving his leaps. Tri-Normal records are evidently going to be smashed at Cheney. Frosh Men Good Jim Davis finally met defeat when Frost pulled away from the fighting Normalite to win the 120-yard high hurdles in the. exceptionally fast time of 15.6 PPPPP

The gym at F~*-haven is well ventilated, and the management has, under great pressure, agreed to put on at least one moonlight quarter for the benefit of the Friends of Cupid, Bellingham Normal chapter. Come to the game, bring your lunch, and stay all evening. Van Ogle Will Give Assembly Talk Tuesday "A Summer In Finland" Will Be Topic of Music Professor; Also Songs of Sibelius The assembly of Tuesday, August 13, has been heralded as one of the highlights of the summer program. Louise Van Ogle, associate professor of music at the University of Washington, will lecture and sing on the subject of "A Summer Holiday in Finland". The music, architecture, and art of the country will be discussed, as well as her trip there last summer into the Lake country. She will also sing some of the "folk songs of Jean Sibelius, eminent Finnish composer, whom she visited while there. Years of residence in the European capitals have given Mrs: Van Ogle, among other advantages, an opportunity of becoming familiar with modern opera under the most favorable circumstances. She has had theoretical work with Dr. Bridgej Chester;; England, and Rich-ter; of Leipzig;" has studied pianoforte with Godowsky and Lhevinne in Berlin, and Harold Bauer in Paris. "Sibelius,, whose compositions are included in Mrs. Van Ogle's il o'clock ehtertainmenT;, is reputed to be the greatest composer Finland has produced. : One of his best-known works is "Finlandia". His music is inspired by nature and the national sagas of Finland. Mrs: Van Ogle has been favorably mentioned in the Spokane Spokesman- Review', Tacoma Daily News, Seattle Post-intelligencer, and other papers in the Pacific Northwest. Girls Entertain Faculty Wednesday evening a group of Edens hall girls, invited faculty members to a picnic at Normalstad. The group enjoyed swimming and boating. Students and Faculty To Spend Final Saturday Outing in Mountains Small Group Scenery of Pass Is Superb, Former Visitors There Expected Say A small but enthusiastic group of hikers will leave Normal tomorrow morning for a long-looked forward to jaunt, that of the Twin Lakes pass hike. With*-Dr. C. C. Upshall in the lead, the crowd of students and faculty members will start from the campus about 7:00 o'clock Saturday. Ice is just beginning to break on Twin lakes, which are situated at the head of Swamp creek, a tributary to the North fork of the Nook-sack river. The scenery on the trip has been advertised as highly worth the outing. The elevation of the destination to be arrived at on the hike tomorrow is 5400 feet, which in itself promises exhiliration from the mountain atmosphere. After driving about 50 miles to the town of Shuksan, the hikers will walk to the pass. Here lunch, brought by the individual hikers, will be eaten. The price for the outing was set to one dollar, but was subject to some change, depending on the number making the trip. The hike will be the last all day outing of the summer. Many Privileges Granted Students For Library Use Unique Organization Gives Skill And Experience In Grants Of Freedom Because the library administration at Bellingham Normal is so unique, attention should be called to the many privileges granted the students. Since the school trains people for ethical professions, the policy of the librarian, Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson, is based on the assumption that we should have the highest standards of ethics. Maximum privileges are given to students because experience and skill are developed in ideal conditions. These cannot be granted unless the library staff has faith in ' the student cooperation, and so in the history of the library, there has never been a penny received on fines for overdue books. Privileges granted have been definitely increased each year in proportion to the cooperation of the students. The library staff has, for the last two years, been conducting an experiment to ascertain the extent, of student cooperation. The success of this experiment on the ideal relation of library and students depends entirely upon the cooperation of students. The staff hopes for close to 100 per cent cooperation before the end of the experiment. Dr. Stuart Queene Assembly Speaker Sociology Professor Has Topic "What Lies Ahead" "Social Change and Education or What Lies Ahead" was the topic chosen by Dr. Stuart A. Queen for his lecture in assembly Tuesday morning. Dr. Queen was announced by Pres, C. H. Fisher as having "an enviable record as a social worker". He was for 8 years professor of sociology at the University of Kansas and has since 1932 been connected with the faculty in that position at Washington university in St. Louis. This summer Dr. Queen is a visiting professor at the University of Washington. Twelve Per Cent of Students To Have Positions Next Fall Under Youth Administration Reorganized FERA Will Employ 78 Students Who Need Help With Finances Applications Rec e ived Grades of Old Students Must Be Up to School Standard John B. Canning T o Speak Here Stanford University Professor To Talk to Students in August 16 Assembly Professor John Bennett Canning of Stanford university will speak on "Compulsory Health Service" giving emphasis to the phase: "The factual condition disclosed by the survey" in assembly on August 16. Mr. Bennett is professor of economics at Stanford university where he has been associated with the faculty since 1919. He received his degree from the University of Chicago and later was assistant professor of political economy there. *~" o : Colored Films Shown Herbert G. Ruckmick showed colored films of local scenic views to a group of faculy members and a few students in the Edens Hall club-room last week. Enabling 78 students who could not otherwise afford to attend school next year to continue their studies, 12 per cent of the school's enrollment will be given positions under the Youth Movement Administration next fall. Last year this work was carried on under the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, which has been reorganized and now gives employment to high school as well as college students. More Positions The original number of students given positions was 10 per cent, and under the new plan 12 per cent will be employed. This will mean a gain of 11 positions for the school. Students will be allowed to earn $15 a month. Entering students will be admitted to positions in proportion to the number in the entering class as compared with the total enrollment. According to last year's enrollment, this will give 40 per cent of the jobs to new students. Qualifications for Jobs "Old students who will work under this plan must have average college grades, while new students must show a scholastic standing higher than the average in the high school from which they were graduated," explains President C. H. Fisher. Only those students who would otherwise be unable to attend college will be given work. Applications are now being received. Fifteen Students Go On Hike To Lake Dr Upshall Heads Group Hiking To Toad Lake Tuesday Queene Confesses Weak Moment Secretary Too Efficient, Explains Lecturer, in Telling of Greatest Fall From Grace; Reveals Pet Aversion "If I denied that I had my weaker moments, I would be denying tnat I am human", said Dr. Stuart A. Queene after his lecture in assembly last Tuesday. His eyes twinkled as he proceeded to tell of his greatest fall from grace. "In Kansas we had organized the outstanding social study groups into a federation, of which I happened to be elected secretary", he said. "Some woman in a litjble one-horse town had organized a club, and she wanted us to recognize it. I tried to stall her off by writing to her that she would have to appear at the next meeting of the federation". He proceeded to relate how his usually faultless secretary had been too efficient and taken down one of his personal remarks while he was dictating the letter. Unaware that it bore the statement, "Hope the old girl hasn't the price of a ticket to Hutchinson", he signed and mailed the letter. His hobby is climbing mountains, and he is taking advantage of his trip west to do as much hiking^ jh the Cascades as he has time for. His pet aversion, he states emphatically, is for "people who put on too much dog". Dr. C. C. Upshall was in charge of the hike to Toad lake last Tuesday, August 6. Approximately 15 students assembled and romped out there via Silver Beach. An outdoor lunch with coffee was served Toad lake is an inland lake northeast of Lake. Whatcom. The hikers reported much enjoyment from viewing the scenery, hiking in the open, and swimming. However, it is not likely that this lake will be visited in the future by Normal students on account of the development of Normalstad. Chelan County Teachers Schedule Meeting Tonight Chelan county teachers will be given an opportunity to meet their new county superintendent, Mrs. Leahey, at-a gathering tonight. The teachers will meet at 8:00 p. m., at 624 North Forest • street, which is at the corner of Oak and Forest streets, for their "get-together". An invitation is extended to all teachers in that system. .., Reunion Planned Sourdoughs To Meet Month at Seattle This Inviting any students who are interested in attending the Sourdough stampede at Seattle next week, a letter announcing plans for the reunion has been received by the school. Gold rush participants from all over America will attend the stampede to be held August 16, 17, and 18, to renew friendships with companions of 38 years ago. "This reunion promises to be the largest ever held or which ever will be held," declared W. O. Peterson, chair-an of the promotion committee. "We expect to have former governors of Canadian provinces, and the member of Parliament from the territory. A squad of Royal Mounted police and the Highland Pipers' band from Vancouver, B. C, will add color," he added. Lake Ann Trip To Be Last Of Summer Hikes Dr. Bond Describes Scenic View Of Mt. Shuksan As One of Outstanding Beauty The trip to Lake Ann, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 17-18, will complete the last of the excursions planned by the members of the recreation committee. The hikers will drive to Austin pass, which is beyond, the government lodge. Altogether there will be about five miles of real hiking, two and a half miles in to the lake. Lake Ann is about lOoO feet higher than the pass. The route supplies a beautiful view of Mt. Shuksan, because of its nearness and the elevation of the trail. "I can truthfully say that it is an unsurpassed view of Mt. Shuksan", asserts Br. Bond, leader of the hike. "The lake will be just right for swimming this time of year", he adds. Saturday night will be spent there, and the returning hike will be made Sunday. The cost of the trip, $2.50, will include all expenses.

Aloha Genther Staff Artist Have You Been Up Toward Baker? Before school closes for the second term it is hoped that all students may be able to visit the mountain playground of Whatcom county, Mt. Baker National forest. The drive to the end of the highway is especially fine this month. Snow still blocks the highway above the lodge, but the road has been kept in excellent condition to this point. Especially beautiful now are the trees which have begun to be transformed into various autumn colors. Both Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan are as beautiful as before, but have changed in appearance. A number of black spots caused by melting snow gives both a somewhat patch-work appearance. The drive has only one drawback. After one leaves Bellingham only occasional views can be caught of Mt. Baker, and when the road above the lodge is blocked by snow no close view may be had of the peak Even with this drawback we still recommend the trip as one which offers beautiful views, and gives one a feeling of exhilaration. The Long, Long Trail Weather Affects Many Snooper Gets Some Dirt At Last PLEASE NOTICE Strife Or Peace? Viking Comment Given Space In the August 8 edition of Education By Radio, published in Washington,. D. C , by the National Committee on Education by Radio, we find the following item under the page heading "Gleanings from Varied Source"; "The best thing about radio in North America is that one can always turn to a Candaian station and find some real music.—Northwest Viking, Washington State Normal School, November 16, ,1934. We score one for Julius Dornblut Jr., editor at that time. I The Book Case A Book Review by William Pierron THORSTEIN VEBLEN AND HIS AMERICA, by Joseph Dorfman. Viking Press, N. Y.. 1934. 556 pp. $3.75. ESSAYS IN OUR CHANGING ORDER, by Thorstein Veblen. Edited by Leon Ardzrooni. Viking Press, N. Y. 1934. 472 pp. $3.00. Thorstein Veblen is considered by many to have been America's greatest writer in the Social Sciences. Since his death in 1929 his work seems to be more widely read than during his lifetime. He was born in 1857 in Wisconsin of Norwegian parentage. He was educated at Carleton college, Minnesota, and at Yale. His career was a long series of difficulties in obtaining influential academic positions. Always caustically critical of social institutions, he was usually viewed with apprehension by those in power at educational institutions, "Mr. Dorfman's biography, while not especially brilliant, is an excellent assemblage of facts about Veb-len's life and work. It fills a long-felt need in supplying a wealth of information about one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of American education, j Most people who have read Veblen know him only through his famous critical work, "The Theory of the Leisure Class" published in 1899. Or perhaps the "Technocracy" boom In 1932 familiarized many with I'm away from the streets of intense life Where the chorus of people are streaming with strife. What passions, hopes, joys and sorrows Fill the hearts of that crowd of tomorrow- Thinking, worrying, hurrying their way, Losing the beauty of life, we say— That comes to the little group of today. Oh, give me'a field of clover so sweet, For beauty and peace there I shall meet; Or the unspeakable silence of gentle hills 'And the melody of birds that thrills the very soul within us. To walk in a garden of fragrant flowers With quiet moments that we call ours,— Where the sweet scented breeze, like the finest of lace May tenderly, softly, touch my face. Or let me gaze at the silent sun After each day's work is done,— To find that the gift of sight alone Paints for the soul in blending tone. Then dusk, a day is gone— All earth is lulled by Nature's song. While man in his world of maze Still strives in dreams of power and praise. —CLARE KERSTING. Walking In The Rain No sweltering sun to scorch my cheek tonight, Nor can the glare on city streets make dim my sight; For I'm walking in the rain. The lips that just today were parched with heat Are bathed and cooled with heaven's shower- Such sweet relief! My nostrils breathe the air so purified— How fresh the breath of hill and lane! The world again is beautified When I'm) walking in the rain. Those pattering drops are melodies cheering me along,— Each step a glad refrain; For I'm in tune with Nature's song When I'm walking in the rain. —CLARE KERSTING. his brochure, "The Engineers and the Price System". Despite his reputation for a complicated and involved style, Veblen could write with great simplicity at times as this new collection of his essays, "Essays in Our Changing Order" proves. The book is a compilation of expository and critical essays and reviews written over a forty-year period from 1885 to 1925.' Most of them were taken from various periodicals but some are published for the first time. Nearly all of them are stimulating and though some were written years ago, they are just as timely today. It is impossible to indicate the extreme variety in the subject matter of the essays. Nearly all of them reveal Veblen's powerful insight into the workings of the social and economic order and his brilliantly sharp critical ability. . The book is a valuable collection and deserves wide attention. An this, my fran'^ is the long, long trail to which so many Normalites have been succumbing lately. Up hill and down dale our hikers plod or rather hike, and come back re freshed, well they feel refreshed a week or two later—if they're lucky O : Movies Seen Music of "In Caliente" Is Thought Good "In Caliente" recently closed its run at the Grand theatre but we managed to review it before it got away. It certainly lived up to expectations, and did we rave about the music! Take a naive little plot about a Spanish dancer who tangles with a magazine editor and his friend, dress it up with the beauteous Delores del Rio, Glenda Far-rel, Pat O'Brien, Edward Everett Horton, add the finishing touches of Busby Berkely dances and the Murados , and you have, a pretty good idea of the play, which was swell. * * * * * To be frank we were disappointed with "Becky Sharp", a late attraction at the Mount Baker. The colors and the clothes were indeed worth seeing, but Miriam Hopkins was forced to over act so badly that she quite spoiled the picture for us. It was probably the director's fault (Rouben Mamoulian), so I guess we can't blame her for that. This "tax-the-wealthy" plan is nothing new. The Egyptians did it back in 700 B. C. The weather is at last beginning to affect some of the members of our exclusive student body, and they have at last broken down and done some things really worth putting into the keyhole. . . .LEON* ARD NEWQUIST (Newkie to you and you and you) and HOLLIS STODDARD ("Don't call me Hol-lis") and party were seen or rather heard at Ferndale Saturday night rendering some very choice melodies in six part harmony. . . . HELEN PETERSON finally managed to get to the same place after being caught short so to speak by the boy friend who found her with wet hair and no socks on when he arrived to take her to the dance. . . JIM BARNHART, our blushing sports co-editor, has reported being introduced to so many people lately that whenever he steps into the Viking office he does so with fear and trembling. . . . BURDETTE MILLER, NEIL DOW, and MILDRED HENDRICKS report the water as rather coolish at Lake Sam-ish lately, and we mean lately. It seems that they left around 9:45 P. M. . . . The Hickory Hat Days at Mount Vernon provided an attraction for many of our studes, and what an attraction. BETH JONES has just about decided to buy the Loop-a-plane which was so popular at the carnival. She rode in it seven times and still came up smiling. . . . Monday nignt we saw what looked like a G-man with handcuffs in his pocket eyeing JACK JOLY as if he meant business. . . . And last but not least we must consider poor little BETTY CHAPMAN. Imagine her surprise to have the man who sold her a pair of shoes Saturday come up Sunday night to take her out, and she in her pajamas, too! Students Study Correspondent Finds Use for Leisure According to a recently completed study, students at the Pennsylvania State college who have been employed by the FERA on college relief projects made better grades for the first semester of this year than fellow-students not working for the FERA. * * * * * A citizen of Tacoma, Wash., has threaded 75 threads through the eye of a common needle. Isnt it nice that people can find such beautiful things to do with their extra leisure time? Rural Rhythms Written Start of Teaching Career Gives Beautiful Idea Concerning Human Nature To Applicants For Job By Maud Campbell Three years' hard work, closed with a whirling last week of grind nights, tests, packing and good-bys. Now—where are we? This is written especially for those grads who are still wearing that famous no-job furrow on the brow and dashing to every mail for'that elusive contract. To you who have signed on the dotted line this period of buzzing around to every corner of the country in pursuit of board members, is just a comical memory. But to us, each trip' across four fields, and around that red barn is a potential Waterloo. I never could understand why board members must always be on the other side of the farm. There should be a law compelling all farmer school board members to work not more than a hundred yards from home, during open season on school positions. After cornering the poor clerk, to whom one is generally a nuisance, the fun begins. He keeps you at bay with carefully chosen remarks on everything from the latest baseball score to all the school tax measures for the last ten years. You retaliate with a thrust on the weather and a breathless explanation of your visit. There is finally a weakening on his part and he breaks down to tell all on the specific position for which you are applying. A more reticent class than the school board member is unheard of. With persuasion one can, after an hour's pleasantries, usually get a clear definition of the board's expectations, which invariably ends with "we kinda wanted an experienced teacher this year. Well—send in your application, you never can tell, and it only costs three cents". I could hold forth for hours oh the value of a civil service system for hiring teachers, but I won't. I'd enjoy unloading the dirt on the 51 year old lady who was second cousin by marriage to the clerk's wife, and got the job—darn her! ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 August 9 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Series of Birdies Net Top Step In Intramural Ladder For Rapacious Chickadees Wrens Hits and Cuckoo Errors Feature Playoff for Second Place in Tourney Shaffer Cuckoo Catcher Shenenberger Wins Championship With Homer in Eighth Not by Jim Barnhart In an eight inning softball thriller Monday afternoon Kepler's Chickadees defeated Austin's Cuckoos to become winners of the first half instramural crown.

"We are also attempting to hastily survey the program and content of the course In graded plays and games", Miss Jewell added. "Recent developments in games and plays have added much material to this field. We hope to include this new material in our future courses". Miss Jewell recently returned to Bellingham from six weeks of study at the University of Washington. Vikings To Play Huskies Today At Fairhaven Hi Postponed Game Finally Settled For South Side Gym At 4:30 This Evening Surviving the third postponement in as many weeks, the much advertised basketball game between the University of Washington Huskies and the WSNS Vikings is scheduled to really happen at Fairhaven gym at 4:00 this evening, according to the latest statement from Sports Director Sam E. Carver this morning. "We were sorry to disappoint the great concourse of fans who appeared on Wednesday, intent on seeing the game", Carver stated. "However, the game tonight should be fast, close basketball". Today's Cartoon Chuck Erickson Originally scheduled to make the Bellingham trip on July 31, the Huskies first set the game ahead to August 7, and then asked a further postponement until today. Conflicting schedules on the part of players and the reluctance of university authorities to grant excuses for the trip were given as reasons. Bellingham players include Bob Carboneau, Ed Angel, Bill Prender, Dick Hammett, Guy Rowland, Ralph Shenenberger, Chuck Erickson, and Jimmie Stoddard. All except Stoddard were members of the team which lost a close decision to the Washington hoopsters at Seattle, and are said to be anxious to even the series. No admission will be charged for the game, and students are invited to bring their friends. o Prances Muller visited with friends and shopped in Vancouver, B. C, this week-end.

Looking It Over .'. By Harry Winsor Bellingham has a right to be proud of its tennis. The recent tournament showed a marked improvement over the previous year, and many of the younger netsters showed surprisingly better tennis than they ever had before. But I have, as usual, a complaint to make. If I ever were found considering anything perfect, I'd crawl into a museum case with the stuffed owls and look peacefully out on life. My kick this time is with the quality of the officiating at the recent match. Granted that it is hard to make a snap judgment on a close return, and that no man, however experienced, can be perfect, I still think a definite improvement in handling the matches could be expected. A wrong decision may easily decide the results of a tourney • —and on one occasion during the tournament just passed a cross-eyed call cost the better of two players game, set, and match. May we request the tournament committee in the coming Northwest meet to use a little better judgment in assigning volunteer officials? It takes most of the pleasure out of the game, for me, when I see a ludicrous judgment deprive a man of his rightful chance-even though the man is a sportsman, and takes it with a grin. That one incident will furnish the picture I carry from the courts, and all the brilliant play will be forgotten. Badminton here at Bellingham seems, of late, to be evolving from a game to a disease. But what a pleasant disease! The game is twice as fast as .tennis, ten times the sport of golf, and is generally more fun than socking a policeman. Or that, at least, is my humble opinion. And now that I'm on the subject, why couldn't badminton matches be arranged with the British Columbia schools next winter? The expense could be shared by the Associated Students and the participants, no question of awards would need to be raised, and two or three sporting events could be added to the winter calendar. I present this idea to the board, and to the athletic authorities, free of all charge, and for their earnest consideration. Last winter I sounded various students for their reactions and found a surprising reaction in favor of at least trying it out for one year. We'd probably take a trimming, but the experience to be gained would be valuable in a number of ways. In this day of overstressed awards, wouldn't it seem nice to do something just for pleasure alone? * « * * * Kittenball—baseball for gouty old men, if you will—bids fair, in the not too distant future, to displace baseball as the favorite national game. And why not? The degree of skill required for participation is not so high as to bar all but athletes, each player gets more action, and anyone can afford all the equipment required. The newspapers of the country, recognizing this, are devoting an increasing amount of space on the sport pages to this newcomer; and now a Denver publication comes forward with an offer to sponsor a national tournament. Right there I'm inclined to raise a querulous eyebrow. Why, in the name of the three toed sloth, must every occupation or avocation of man be exploited for the benefit of some insipid, gold-hunting promoter? We've seen football become professionalized. The undignified national tournament gives basketball coaches gray hairs. And now, by all that's holy, we must sacrifice our new pastime to the circulation desk of the daily paper. Thank your stars that the papers are not yet backing pinochle leagues. But give them time. You may yet open your sport page and read: "Oshkosh Player Holds 1500 Trump." With the WAA By Doris Condogeorge P. E. majors lead, terribly hard lives. Theirs is the life predominated by a necessity for struggle. Of course, on the other hand, they are a group of lucky mortals with a goal in life, but there is something unsatisfactory about filling your recreational hours with a goal quite as hard to attain as a letter in women's sports at this school. Look at the men! For one short session they all allow themselves to be kicked about a little with cleated shoes, or maybe accidentally struck with a bat, or they can slide across a hard-wood floor, reaping burns as they, go, and then it is over. But the glory lives on. What if they should break something, and be susceptible to bruises, and carry around a black eye or two? And what if they do get all mud-covered, and some mug kicks out a tooth or two—isn't it sport for sport's sake—and all over at the end of the season? And who wouldn't be willing to suffer a few little inconveniences for a letter? But the girls? They have to be possessed of the patience of Job, with plenty of endurance, a general ability to "take it", and then they have to be approved by the WAA council. All a girl has to do to win a sweater in sports is to receive eleven first class awards, and be a member of four all-star teams. Then, lest life become too monotonous, there is still a gold "W" pin for which to work, the requirements for which are a paltry fifteen first class awards, and eight all-star teams.

Although this is not to be said story, it is vaguely reminiscent of the aforesaid tale. There was once (last week sometime) a wee black and white kitty who happened to enter this massive hall of. knowledge. A tall blond boy happened by, saw the kitty, picked it up, stroked it tenderly and placing it at his bosom, carried it upstairs to one of the offices. There it cavorted happily around trying to catch the typewriter keys as they flew under the nimble fingers of the blond boy who decided finally that it should be taken home, fed and taken care of as small kitties should be. Here my story ends, but don't you find it equally as touching as that of the banker and the tot? But—there is a catch to it, supposing some child were weeping tender tears over the loss of a pet—that is where this article comes in.

PASS YOUR PLATE " V. w. x P.yAvri Shucks, what's the use of living? I just sat down and wrote out, what I thought of the governor. Oh, my yes. Declaring that he was to blame for the resignation of President Black of the Ellensburg Normal last week and all that sort of thing. I quoted the Associated Press and the governor himself. I went:to a lot of trouble.: And then I found out that all the time the governor wanted Ellensburg to have a bit more money. So I just had to tear up the 7,691% words I had written... Oh, well, such is life! Ah, me! . DEBATE SCHEDULE IS BEING PLANNED FOR COMING YEAR NEW SYSTEM OF MEMBERSHIP TO BE USED, ELIMINATING OLD METHOD BY TRYOUT. TWO TEAMS FORMED I t will be with a feeling of regret that; Bellingham will mark the passing of Dr. Black. His resignation comes as the result of sacrificing himself for the school—for the resignation came as the result of making expenditures for which thewe was:: no money, although, as the trustees said, "the expenditures were desirable had the money been available." ~ Mr. Walters, in his editorial columns, will probably shed the official tears. I can only say that it's the system, hoys. You can't buck it. Play with the game and take your cut, but don't try to get a new deal. Comparlively speaking, I'm not * going to waste all those mean things I wrote about Hizzoner, The Governor. I'm going to put some of them in here anyway. •'••J:-It is to be hoped that the legislature, when it meets in Olympia in January, will recognize the factors leading to the resignation of Dr. Black, and will realize, once -and for all,- the fact that it takes money —real money, to train instructors to teach the young idea how to shoot. Ellensburg Normal has done a fine Work. It is hoped the legislature will appropriate enough money to make this Work better, and to give the new president an ample budget so he may constantly improve the quality of teachers for the state, as President Fisher has done at Bellingham. I-It is hoped that Governor Hartley will realize that the state Normals are schools to train state employes—- and are not public education institutions in the sense that many of the schools are in the state college or the university, where /the state'gives much but receives little. Most Normal-school graduates will return to, the state in their services many times over what, they have received? Muzzling of the scholastic press continues. The editor of the Uni versity of California Daily has been fired for daring to think that Coach "Nibs" Price may not have been satisfactory and that the.. University of Southern California may provide soft jobs for hard, football players: " L e t * it be impressed upon your Minds, let it be instilled into your •children, that the Liberty of the Press is the Palladium of all the Civil, Political and Religious Rights "jof Freemen."—Junius! -' "Congress shall make no law'.-.. . abridging the Freedom of Speech or of the Press; or the right of the people Peaceably to Assemble"— First amendment United States Constitution, December 15, 1791. California got around all that by saying the editor was incompetent. Maybe he was, but it sounds like he didn't care much' about his ''$20 between us, boys," but more about learning the true state of aifairs, You cant' buck the system, boys. Play with the; gang and take your cut, but don't try to get a hew deal Several new schools will be listed on the debate schedule this year, if invitations now under consideration are "accepted, according to an announcement made Tuesday by James Carrell, coach of debate. College. teams from Oregon and Idaho have invited the Normal to compete with them this year, although definite acceptance has not been made. Tryouts will be abandoned this year, Mr. Carrell stated. I n previous years the members of the team have been selected largely on the basis of their performance in a regularly scheduled competition. This season, however, candidates will be permitted to register for Speech 9, which will make them eligible for participation in any .intercollegiate contest. Tryouts Eliminated This, system, which is rapidly gaining favor throughout colleges and universities, eliminates the unsatisfactory aspect of the tryout system, and substitutes a method by which the speaker may be judged over a period of time, Mr. Carrell believes. The course in debate will meet as a seminar, rather than a regular scheduled class. It carries two credit hours. Anyone interested in turning out for debate is urged to see the coach.sometime before the end of the quarter. As in the past, men's and women's teams will be selected, with separate schedules for each group . The system of debating in the Northwest substitutes two-man teams for the three-man teams used in the high school league and in many colleges. Every effort is being made to arrange tours for one team representing the men and one representing the women. At the present time, the plans call for trips on which several Washington and Oregon* schools will be met. The final decision-on these trips will be based partly on the early showing of the teams. Use New Style Another innovation this year will be the abandonment of the old type of debate in most of the contests and the substitution of the "cross-examination" type of debate. In the "cross-examination" debate a speaker from each team questions a member of the opposing team. In the past, such debates have been much more interesting than the cut-and- dried oratory of the convention, system of debating. The question which will be discussed this year deals with tariff and free trade and is of special interest to students of history, economics, and business administration. The exact statement of the question s, Resolved: that the nations should adopt a policy of free trade. . o Many Students Leave For^med Places To v..', Sfend Thanksgiving The spell J.of Thanksgiving-^or perhaps the lt;-fault aronia of nearing turkey and" cranberry sauce—seems to have befuddled the minds of the Normal students. But getting down to business, the anxious Normal student has discovered that he will be able to make his holiday "breakaway" at 1 o'clock today and make "whoopee" until 8 o'clock Monday morning. Many of the males of the school are anticipating the sight of some of that rosy-cheeked talent back home. After the students have returned to school Monday the Christmas vacation will begin to beckon. The Christmas vacation will begin December 20 and end January 4. -.— o LITTLE SYMPHONY SCORES SUCCESS SEVENTH ^CONCERT IN TfflRD SEASON; SMITH DmECTOR. lurk! Turk^ And Several Drops to Drink (Vernon V.'Vine) Bellingham Normal, November 22, 1930 Dear Mom: Would you be awfully sorry if I don't come home for Thanksgiving this year? I'd really like to come home and see everybody, but the idea- is that I'm half broke and you'll see me at Christmas anyway. Besides, Jack has asked me to go to his home for Thanksgiving. You know Jack, of couse—he lives in the room next to mine. His folks live in Vancouver, B. C, and have scads of money.' He has already written them and they said to go ahead and bring somebody home with him. So he asked me. | Of course, I know they don't cele-x brate Thanksgiving in Canada, so I don't suppose I'll get any turkey, but I would like to see a foreign country. Now,, don't you worry about me. I'll be all right. Your loving son, REPORT MADE Under the leadership of Harold B. Smith; the Bellingham Little Symphony Orchestra opened their third season with a concert at the American theater, Tuesday night. This seventh concert by the orchestra, whose personnel was larger than ever before, scored unusual success with the crowd of .music lovers attending. The program was opened by the "Overture to Phedre," by Massanet, which i s - a n alternation of three themes, giving unusual opportunity for the clarinets,, oboes, violins and 'cellos to display their ability, as well as the fine harmony shown in the orchestra as a whole. Their second number, Bizet's "L'Arlesienne Suite," including six different movements, was delightful in its variations in tempo and melody, while their final number before intermission, Strauss' "Roses of the South," was greatly enjoyed and appreciated by the audience. The old waltz, ever a favorite, was rendered "more beautiful than ever before by' the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith previously described the "Danse Macabre," by Saint- Saens, as being decidedly realistic. The orchestra's interpretation of "the skeletons who came from their graves at midnight; the fiddler tuning up his" instrument, which was next heard, and then the dance, which began first fairly quietly and softly, gradually worked itself into a veritable frenzy, which was interrupted by the crowing of the cock announcing the dawn." The xylophone was employed in this most realistic conception of the rattling of the bones and the cock crow. Victor Herbert's number, "American Fantasie," was especially. well performed and was popular with the audience, since it contained a medley of several early American folk songs such as "Swahee River," "Dixie," "The. Girl I Left Behind Me," "Hail Columbia," "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," and the orchestra in full concluded this fantasy with a very majestic and spirited rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner." .

Hartley is again the Happy Warrior, if Alfred Enianuel Smith will.'permit the use of the name. Another victory for Hizzorier in his campaign to bring educational expenses in the state " d o w n to earth," and to "draw the line some place," may be chalked up. TThe tViking, and it speaks for the Bellingham Normal, marks with regret the passing from educational ranks in the state of President George EHacki of the Ellensburg Normal. ? His resignation, coming abruptly November 2 1 , has created a furore in school circles, and has resulted in charges, counter-charges, insinuations, and innuendos. Underlying all of this superficial coating of assent and dissent are several salient facts which were said to be born on the doorstep of the gubernatorial mansion in Olympia. Political heads in the state have long looked askance upon one of jHttzzoner's pet peeves—education and how much it costs. Since Roland H. Hartley, successful lumberman, began running the state, he has attempted to curb and check the flow of money which has accompanied the education of the young idea. The first milestone on this rocky road was the passing of Dr. Henry Suzzallp, president of the University of Washington. Now comes another marker—-the resignation of Dr. Black. Dr. Black's resignation comes after a reported eight month's battle with the governor's board of trustees, which battle was the result of Dr. Black's attempt to operate the school on the funds allotted for its maintenance. Specifically, according to Associated Press dispatches on November •21, Dr. Black used from $30,000 to $40,000 of money from the dormitory fund to make improvements to the dormitory building, while at the same time running up bills to nearly a similar amount for groceries, meats and other commodities used in the so-called food shops in the dormitories. The facts are these: The estimated budget of the Ellensburg Normal for the current biennium of April I, 1929, to March 3 1 , 1931, was $861,086.78, which the governor slashed to $400,450, as is shown on page 22, part I, of the governor's budget, compiled for the Twenty-first legislature and dated January 14, 1929. Figures don't lie, and the detail shown here follows: For operation, $438,670 was requested, and $378,500 was allotted by the governor. Again, $422,416.78 was asked for construction of an administration building, purchase of land, and improvement of buildings and campus facilities. And the governor, in the wealth of his generosity, allowed exactly $21,950. Let a good word be said in his favor. He was willing that additional funds should be given Ellensburg for certain capital outlay—but these-were to come from the Normal school current or general fund, the total income from which during the biennium was estimated at $92,500. . From this fund, during these two years, Ellensburg was slated to receive $1 7,950, although the budget submitted by school authorities anticipated expenditures from this fund greater than that amount. ' v . In a footnote attached to the budget, and also in his inaugural address* the governor said: "The above items (referring to estimates from the general fund for capital outlay) are general maintenance and replacement charges and should be cared for from revenues provided for the operation of the institution. The present financial condition of this iinstitution demonstrates the futility and failure of fixed millages. To iequalize the inequality, it is recommended that for the coming biennium ,the following distribution of the revenues of the Normal school current ;'fundbemade: Bellingham .....$23,000 ';;:;';'• o V - i /..Gheney-L.-.....„'...;........... 7,500 Ellerisburg ...............,...:........... 62,000" : No placie in the budget may a statement be found to the effect that the appropriations were thus made, however, while the increased amount jwould have covered the estimated expenditures from this fund, it would llnbt have materially aided the general situation. T T T i e fixed millages referred to by the governor are: Bellingham, .26.'-.'mills; Cheney, .22 mills, and Ellensburg, .16 mills, on the basis of a fixed valuation of $1,158,026^676. In actual practice, the state board of equalization fixed the levy for the biennium for Ellensburg at .•.I486.mills on a valuation of $1,246,168,552. This further indicates that the state board of equalization has not seen fit to give all that Ellensburg deserves from this fund.

An' a little rest before the final struggle is a wonderful, wonderful thing. . We think it would be very convenient if there' was a similar vacation shortly before the end of every quarter. But, since there isn't, we can only take ad vantage of this one, and think of it as a peculiar feature' of the fall quarter. The idea is this: Don't, for goodnesses sake, be so darned ambitious as to study through.. Thanksgiving vacation.

There are also two cases at Se-home school being handled by these students. This remedial work was introduced during the last winter quarter. Because of the failure of contestants to enter the airplane contest last Saturday, the meet was not held.

ESipM,Sr epNVOGATIQN| | | - | i A M ^ ; ;WITH .A- BAN •J^lhe selection of (the name "Pink Pistol" for^ the'schqors new humor-pus magazine^ in the recently ended name contest, was the cause of considerable confusion in assembly last Friday^ Vernon Vine appeared upon the stage with the weapon, which proceeded to speak for itself. When the smoke cleared away, Mrs. Edward Thornton, a representative of the American Red Cross, spoke on the tuberculosis campaign arid the sale of Christmas seals. She emphasized the need of teacher cooperation in the fight against this disease; that they should watch for any signs of it when they go out to teach, and that children who have symptoms be sent to a competent physician. "Dust of the.Road" was played by members of the Speech class. This play, which was written by Kenneth Sawyer Goodman,' is a modern symbolic drama of Christmas time. The author of the play gave his life to his country in the late World War. His parents built the Goodman Memorial Theater in Chicago as a tribute to their son. The cast consisted of Peter Steele as played by John James; the grandfather, Kermit Smith; Judas Is-cariot, Robert Roberts, and Prudence Steel, Alma Hoyt. Nurse Notes Miss Mary Tosi of Ragon Hall is suffering from a sprained ankle. Eric Ericsson of Bellingham is in the hospital, recovering from an operation for appendicitis.

Milton Field, a former student of t h e Normal, and member of Vanadis Bragi, who is now teaching at Franklin, was a visitor of the evening. He told something of the nature of the club when he was an active member, and compared it •with the present organization. Je de Porter, chairman of the program committee, presented an interesting entertainment. Marie Thygeson, accompanied by Maxine Towner at the piano, sang "Out of the West to You", and "Dream Girl"; Joe de Porter ga.ve an interesting review of Mencken's "Treatise on the Gods"; Evelyn Elliott, play- Miss Mae Meade and her mother plan to drive to Tacoma and spend Thanksgiving with her brother.

I£E===j Ewrnert Morrn^te m^ ^ A story with a tragic beginning but a happy'ending marked a recent wedding of a former student of this school, Bob Cambzzi. Camozzi, who attended 'the Normal last spring quarter, and his prospective bride, Marian Schilling, eldest daughter of Dr. and "Mrs.. E. A. Schilling, attempted elopment from Mount Vernon recently. The young couple arrived safely in Everett, but met with difficulties iri'that the officials there refused to grant them a marriage license, but induced them to return to Mount Vernon where after counsel with the bride's parents the pair found there was no serious objection after all. The next day the couple ,motored to Everett, accompanied by Dr. and Mrs. Schilling, and after their marriage the bride and groom entered the University of Washington, where they plan to complete their education before establishing a home. — o MACDOWELL CLUB Ed is HaW to Serve - Providing for those ^students who are unable-'to - return home for the holidays, the dining room at Edens Hall will serve meals during this period.:: ^r A grand dinner on Thursday at 1:15 with all t h e trimmings is to be the mairr event of the program. About forty-five people are expected to partake of the "turk." Various activities for social hours are planned for those remaining. RUSH GALL The regular meeting of the Mac- Dowell Club was held Wednesday, November 19, in the Women's League room. After a short business meetitng, Mary Chinella, program chairman, took charge. The club is studying Tschaikowsky and his compositions. The story of his life was told and the plot of his famous "Nutcracker Suite" was given and the music played. After the program refreshments were provided by Miss Roth. The next meeting will combine the regular program and a party. :—o- WEDDING Miss Sylvia Rank, a sophomore, is to be married Wednesday, November 26, to Frank Landahl at her home in Seattle.

This tea will be given in the Blue Room at Edens Hall and is planned as a get-together for the faculty members a n d ' t h e house mothers. Miss Linda Countryman is general chairman of the affair and she said that a very entertaining program has been planned for the tea. ! A RUSH CALL! "Where's the ambylance?" "Under the grandstand in one of the garages." "Hurry we've got to travel fast to make it." They were gone, the two of them, in a real rush case. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 November 26 - Page 4 ---------- m W®M^m^ *^^t%^i$ ;s£p^ %§§ii PSf^X -mmm The intfamiiral basket ball schedule has finally been drawn up, with the first games to be played on December 2. The bracket will last until the middle of January. At that time the leading three teams will have a play off, which will last three days. Then the ^chool champions will be crowned in assembly. The competing teams are the Thespians, Philos, Vanadis Bragi, Men's Club, Co-op, and the Kitchen Krew. There ought to be some heated arguments between some of these rival clubs. Say! did you fellows notice the crowd of Normal students at the Whatcom-Burlington game out on our field last week? Personally, it struck me as very funny that any student body.should be out to that game nearly 100 per cent strong while an act of God Himself could not get them out for their own home games this year. ^f;;^^B^!|-S§j i -Maybe they just came out to watch "Passion" Flowers yell for his old-home town. Then again, maybe^ it was the catching spirit of the ;game. The- air seemed just full of spirit of some kind for an hour before the game/and Normal students, •catching a scent, of that spirit, cut classes and flocked to the bleachers. .'" It's peculiar, but I never caught any such signs or spirits before one of our own games. Isn't something lacking around here ? This is going to be the Alma Mater for most of us and some day we will want to look back on it as a school full of spirit, so let's all get back of this basket ball team of ours and make people feel our games before they happen, and make ourselves care whether our teams win or not. Spirit, that's what we need, and the onlyway this school can get it is through each one of us. We all have to get our shoulder to wheel and push. Let's go! the liijt§p $%M.

On a check of the new students \ entering Cheney this fall, it was ;: found that two-fifths; camei 1 rom Spokane county. gt; Holding a special conference on Thursday evening, Miss Marjory Horton, coach, and Clara Zaddock, manager, after great deliberation, picked the Freshman-Sophomore teams for the battle of the soccer season. Many were bidding for the same berth on the teams and it is felt that those who were picked will successfully hold down the job that was assigned to them. The personnel of the teams are as follows: Freshman team—Line, Pauline Rit-ter, center; Mary Tarbox, right inside; Winnie DeWitt, right wing; Dorothy Ordall, left inside; Betty Pearson, left wing; halfbacks, Helen Harlow, Frances Harris, Vera Esel-by; fullbacks, Narnia Wirsing, Frieda Klienski; goal, Helene Meredith.

The subs for the Frosh are: -ElvaCPil-quist, Hildur Anderson, Olivia Shas-man, Lucille Hall. o — JUNIOR ATHLETICS SHINDIGS ^ • The "Shindig's" hockey team succeeded in tieing the intramural games on Monday when they won the last of the series with a score of 3-0 from the "Rinkydinks". The score of the three games were 1-1; 3-0; 3-0. In case of a tie, it is permissable to play it off to decide the title, but, in this case, as it is not in the constituion as the course to take in the matter, the coach must decide. o— JAYVEE GAME Under the guidance of the Physical Education Department of the school, the seventh and eighth grades of the training school have organized a Junior Athletic Association that - is run on the same .plan as the Women's Athletic Association. Miss Mildred Jewell is coach of the sports that are offered during the year to the, pupils. The boys have finished their soccer games. Entertaining the seventh and eighth^ grade girls from Franklin, the girls of the club will give a "play day''- hi the bigf-gym on Tuesday afiiejrirtodn.

In my case and after discussion with other students we decided that since we are not earning, we should not be embarrassed by even being asked to contribute to any charitable case. Many of us are borrowing money to finish school or are struggling hard to get through school. It is not very easy for us to give even a dime. Since the Bellingham Community Fund went over so well this year, I think, it more fitting that such cases be referred to such an organization, rather than carry on this canvassing which is probably not pleasant to any of us. I would like to get more student opinion on this topic. A STUDE.

XXXIII—NO. 40 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, A College of Education, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Hannegan Pass Trip Postponed For Week-end Uncertain Weather Conditions and Lack of Interest Cause Deferment of Hike Because of uncertain weather conditions and failure of a large enough group of students to show interest,in the outing, the Hannegan pass hike has been called off by the committee in charge of the affair. The group was to have left the campus at noon today, under the leadership of Edward J. Arnt-zen, hike leader. The week-end trip was to include climbing of Goat and Ruth mountains, on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Friday and Saturday nights were to have been spent in Hannegan pass itself. There will be one more week-end outing this quarter, that to the Lake Ann, at the foot of Mount Shuksan. -o Friday, August 2, 1935 Johnson, Iceland Clergyman, Gives Talk On Country "Northern Lands Are Not Covered With Ice Year Round," Says Speaker Normalite REMAINS RUTHLESSNESS RETURN -—By Mary Fishes. Orchids and not-too-protracted assignments to the staunch and persistent 450 who still preserves in our halls. That its been trying to see one's friends and classmates go off to lazy days at home or at vacation places, for the rest of the summer and not weaken too there is no doubt. But those extra credits are sure to tell the tale someday— and maybe it'll rain all the remaining weeks. —--W.S.N.S.- Another of the quarterly dramas has come and gone The presentation of "liiliom" distinctly held its own, particularly when it is remembered that it was the result of only six weeks' rehearsing This wasn't the first time Mr. Hoppe directed "Liliom." In 1933 Molner's highly entertaining play was first produced here. Once seen such a play was not easily forgotten. Perhaps it was that presentation, perhaps the play itself. At any rate, it was interesting to make comparisons. —•—-W.S.N.S.- If you think you're getting-blase about beautiful scenery or views and really want to have: an exhilarating thrill ascend Mt. Constitution on Orcas island. Prom its 2400-foot summit you'll see a breath-taking panoramic view of a vast-expanse of water; islands of every size and shape-and looking somehow as they might be very insecurely fastened; the snow capped Cascades from which majestically looms Baker, the Olympics to the west and the Canadian Selkirks to the north. On an unusually clear day Rainier can be seen- rising alone and impressively from the flat surrounding country. Sprinkling the mainland like so many large and small dots are the towns of Bellingham. Vancouver. Blaine., Ana-cortes. and others. If you ,aren't inclined to hike the five miles from the base to the summit of the -mountain you may ride up on a fine road. - W.S.N.S. - Not tiH August 22 will there again be something distracting in the way of entertainment temptingly close to the campus and library. Then Addressing a relatively large group of students and faculty members in room 239 on Tuesday after noon, the Rev. Jacob Johnson, clergyman in the National Church of Iceland, set forth new concepts of his native country.. He told his audience that the usual idea of Iceland and Greenland is that these countries are covered with ice and snow all year, and that the Eskimo people wear their fur clothing at all times. He corrected this impression first of all, saying that there is much warm weather in the summer and that Iceland is not subject to the extremes of temperature that Canada and Northern United States are. The content of Mr. Johnson's t lecture included geographical location, history, literature, and culture of the country. He said that the Icelanders have developed the fine art of story telling and that it is one of the main types of diversion in that country. Another point which received special emphasis is the fact that Iceland is becoming a tourist country of growing popularity. Many go to the University of Iceland to learn the language which is a pure classical language with no dialects. The written language and the spoken word are identical in the Icelandic language. o —•— Stuart A.

The list contains the names of all the magazines now subscribed for, and is classified according to the subject matter contained in it. The list has been prepared by Miss Pearl Reese of the library staff. The library staff wishes students, especially those here just for the summer, to make a special study of these magazines. All of them are of the highest standards and most are professional journals. The cost and place of publishing are not included on the list, so that these data must be discovered upon studying the publications. Every subject now in the four-year, curriculum is represented by at least one magazine. The staff wishes to place copies of these classified lists in all students' hands, especially those back from teaching, for further study.

Two trips were made through Bellingham. and from here the tour will take them through California and the southern states into Georgia. Ten large busses and three scout cars convey the group, which includes 100 boys and 107 girls, between 14 and 20 years of age, as well as a mechanic, a doctor, nurse, and 14 chaperones.

Aloha Genther ...Staff Artist Lakeside Investment increases In Value Normalstad, the Normal property on Lake What- . com which has received as much publicity locally as . the Dionne Quintuplets, is a valuable investment, ,' Ten years ago the 94-acre tract on the lake was purchased for the small sum of $800. At that time the property at the lower end of the lake was settled, but the road by the school property was very narrow and poorly surfaced. A person was in danger of being stuck if he drove to the lake site during the rainy season. The taxes on Normalstad have also been low. For , .10 years the average tax has been about $40. At the - present time perhaps no more than $ 1000 has been .spent by the school for property improvement. The total investment therefore has not exceeded $2,500 on the tract. Within the last few years a fine scenic drive has been completed on the south side of the lake, which had possibilities of becoming a highway to Seattle before the Lake Samish highway project was started. _ The lake also has become a popular place for summer cottages. As soon as it became permissible to swim in the lake many new -homes were built. Both of these developments have helped to shoot the value of land upward in this district. A conservative estimate therefore now places the valuation of the Normal property at $5,000. The site was not purchased with the intention of making a profit. Still the 100% increase in its value in the 10 years added to its limitless value as a student recreation grounds, makes the property a most valuable investment.

Reviewer Hits Pedanticisms; Missionary Makes Progress By Wilson Waylett Those who have borne the impression that American Speech is a stodgy and pedantic journal should scan the article "A Study of Verbal Taboos" by J. M. Stedman Jr. in the April number. With a tongue-in-cheek manner reminiscent of Veblen this scholar discusses some of those words which, for various reasons, have come under opprobrium. Certainly it is to be hoped that these words do not become completely barred from the English language,, for if such were the case American speech would lose much of its pithy succinct qualities and Ernest Hemingway and Bill Pierron would be forced to stop writing. * * * * * Those who like to titillate their souls with accounts i of picturesque sex vagaries will find within the un-obstrusive, pale-brown covers of The Psychoanalytic Review some delectable case histories. For anyone who has exhausted the possibilities of Falstaff press and William Faulkner "The Problem of Feminine Mascochism" by Karen Horney is recommended. Campi Correspondence By Margaret Morse The champion Ananias on the campus of the University of California, is, surprisingly enough, a student of theology. His story is this: "I wired Africa by static electricity when the natives combed their hair. All went well until I became involved in a labor wage strike. The kinky-haired natives exerted more energy and had to be paid the most. The straight-haired natives could not be speeded up, even with shocking stories. The mutiny resulted in a general strike". . * • • • * N A group of 20 French college students left Paris , during the week of July 14, for an 18-day tour of Brittany in two de luxe freight cars. It was the first of a series of vacation trips planned by the French University Tourist bureau in co-operation with the French League of Youth hostels, and will be followed this month by larger groups, including an American ' contingent in three box cars. * * * • * A course in fishing, in fly and bait-casting, was add- gt; ed recently to the physical education program at the | Massachusetts State college. The course is part of a : plan of individualized group instruction in the basic • skills in. sports which have "carry-over" value—golf, i tennis, swimming and archery, hiking and badminton. * • * * • !

The Drexel Triangle presents a bird's-eye view of college life: Those who quiver over the unhappy lot of our brethren beyond the seas, who unlike us are not blessed with the light of the true faith, will rejoice over the account of "Pioneer Work in Madagascar", by Rev. W. Kendell Gale in Missionary Review of the World for July. The good missionary is making fine progress getting the natives to wear clothes about the time the rest of the world is learning the sanity of not doing so. * * * * * Those who looked with brief hope at the final flare-up of The American Mercury under the editorship of Charles Angoff may note with regret that, since a certain Paul Palmer came to the helm, each issue brings it to lower and lower depths. With its distinguished mentor of the 1920's entertaining customers at Madame MacFadden's and the pages of the Mercury devoted to rehashs of moribund stuff, debunking in America has come to a sorry state ;indeed. * * * • • • Those who find The American Legion Monthly completely satisfying to their apperceptions will be greatly intrigued by Karl Detzer's "Murder in Sunlight", the first instalment of which is to be found in the July number. The general theme of this story, insofar as I can judge by looking at the pictures, concerns the solution of some mysterious mystery by sterling soldier lads. Preparation, graduation, then vacation. Registration, dissipation, then probation. Desperation, illumination, then elation. Graduation, congratulation, then vocation starvation. or Words of wisdom from Faculty minds: President R. C.

Woellner of UCLA: "Save when youte young, so you can buy things you cant use when you're old". Keesecker Argues Question in Article By Wilson Waylett The problem of teacher's loyalty oaths, of which so much has been said during the past few months, still looms as one of the most controversial questions on the educator's horizon. In the June School Life, official organ of the Office of Education, United States Department of the Interior, Ward W. Keesecker discusses the pros and cons of this question. His article, "Teachers at the Battle of Oaths", defines the oath, discusses its functions, lists arguments for and against it, and ends with a plea for tolerance in these troublesome times. The chief contentions of the pros are that teachers should be required to fulfill the same obligations as other officials, that the oaths would keep out communists, that "teachers have great influence molding public opinion and should be "100 per cent Americans", and that "teachers should not be permitted to use their positions to promote propaganda". Those opposed to the bill state that "the duties of teaching differ from those of Government officials", that teachers are not disloyal, and that '"education includes not only a process of imparting truth but also a search for truth as well, and teachers and students should be free to examine the merits and demerits of old and new theories pertaining to political, economic, religious, or natural philosophy". As a contrast to the teacher's oath, which has been proposed in so many state legislatures, Keesecker points out bills introduced into the California and New York legislatures. The California bill specifically calls for the teaching of tolerance in the schools and the presentation of all sides of the question; while the New York bill would make it impossible to remove a teacher on the basis of any "expression of opinion on any political, social, or economical subject, or any out-of-school activities in ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 August 2 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON, STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Three Tournaments Offered For Women Athletes During Second Part of This Quarter Badminton, Tennis, and Ping Pong Contest To Be Run Off Next Week Riding Is Popular Set of Rules Formed To Spread Ladder Competition With the -posting of blank lists for entries on the bulletin board opposite the physical education office, the women's sports season for the second half of the summer session was officially underway last Wednesday. Three tournaments in badminton, tennis, and ping-pong will be run off next week, it was announced; and riding, the most popular first half diversion, will also be offered.; Facilities for. all who wish to compete are ample, it was stressed by departmental authorities in announcing the new season. Badminton nets and rackets are available at all times when the gyms are not in use, and archery material, consisting of 23-pound women's bows, may be drawn on any evening except Friday. Because of laxness in playing off ladder matches, a set of rules, designed to speed up decision of the winners, has been posted with the blanks this session. Competitors are urged to play their matches as early as possible. Riding will be conducted on the same plan as during the first half, and information as to rates, facilities, and other related matters may be obtained from Miss Mildred Jewell, physical education instructor, or from Sigrid Wiberg, manager of summer sports. All women are urged to turn out lor their favorite sport, and add to the interest and enjoyment of the summer sports season.

"After a busy six weeks as a student, it will seem strange to occupy the teacher's desk", Miss Jewell admitted. "But I should be a better teacher. I've had two education courses, an English seminar, and a course in corrective physical edu cation". Miss Jewell was studying for her master's degree, and will take it from the University of Washington. o Quintet Ready For University Court Contest Return Game With Seattle Five To Be Played Wednesday At Fairhaven Chicadees Gain League Victory Hits, Errors, Features of Initial Softball Contest As Round Robin Begins In a wild, free hitting game, with errors sprinkled through all positions, Keppler's Chicadees turned back Rowland's Redheaded Woodpeckers on the short end of a 12-11 count Wednesday. The game opened the intramural baseball circuit, which will run through the second cession, ^ Carboneau, with two hits and four runs, led the, parade for the winners, while ,;Tnbby McCleary and Vaughan, .with a trio of hits each, were the. stick stars for the losers, Loomis was credited with the best catch of the day, a running stop of a line drive from Hammett's bat.

Stalwart and determined Vikings embark for the Fairhaven gym next Wednesday afternoon to do battle with a snarling pack of Huskies from Seattle. Although the Normal school band will not be available for the game, the usual crowd of loyal Viking supporters will be there to root for the team. Since Wednesday is pal night, a capacity crowd is expected. Everyone bringing a friend will be admitted to the reserve seat section free of charge. Coach Sam Carver and his cohorts are itching for a revenge victory over the squad which two weeks ago in Seattle eked out a win over Normal. Shock troops will probably start the game, and then when the University lads begin to tire, the board of strategy will send the squad of steam-rollers into the fray in an effort to pile up an impressive lead. Players who will wear the blue and white next Wednesday with their numbers: Carboneau 0, Fren-der 1, Rowland 2, Rich 3, Ham-mett 4, Shenenberger 05, Angel 13, and Erickson 66. Co-captains Bill Prender and Chuck Erickson have these statements to make in regard to the contest: ERICKSON:. If the wife and baby are at the game, you can bet that I'll be in there playing ball. FRENDER: Witrl Alcina rooting crimination against non-Aryan athletes by German authorities seems as silly as an indictment for witchcraft. But, before we condemn it unheard, let us trace the history of this assinine athletic diplomacy. In the summer of 1934, in a letter conspicuous for its tact and punctilious address, the union demanded guarantees that American athletes of Catholic or Jewish persuasion or descent should be accorded equal privilege and equal treatment with Aryan German athletes. German authorities replied with a communication that unqualifiedly guaranteed such athletes the same chances and treatment as they would receive in their own country. The matter rested there for about 10 minutes. The next development was a flood of resolutions begging that American athletes be withheld from the games, that Germany be severely censured for thinking of discriminating against Jewish athletes, that German toys be boycotted by American buyers, that Hitler be boiled in old kerosene, and that American athletes be withheld from the Olympics. Verbalists on committees loosed their goriest adjectives and a happy and productive time was had by alL All, that is, but the American Olympic committee, who again communicated with Reich authorities and received, because of their horrible threat of action, a reply that is indistinguishable from the first. Did that end matters? Were the YMHA and the sundry local improvement clubs contented with the pledged word of the German government? You guess; I'm tired. And so we come, at last, to the latest development, as last week's newspapers bring it to us. A high official of the AAU, in a confidential statement to a dozen reporters and press association representatives, stated that if the Reich would not guarantee equal opportunity and protection to non-Aryan athletes, the American team would not participate.

From the well-executed serpentine and bonfire through the alumni banquet to the'much-praised dance the next evening, there Was .not a single hitch, with the entire student body, grads, and favorable weather lending to the success of the annual affair. • MICKEY CLARK and his frosh dass committee did their big bit in the Homecoming bonfire and wish to extend their thanks and appreciation to all the merchants downtown and the Standard Oil Company for their complete co-operation in furnishing boxes, papers, and oil ;;for the Savage funeral pyre. KENNETH ELDER probably contributed more to the success of the celebration than anyone else on the various committees, but his efforts were more taken for granted than any other job. Thank you, Ken, for many jobs well done. Lensrud's work on the dance was par excellence. Q T H E ^ committees to0 numerous to mention also did their work to the peak of perfection. But the big bouquet goes to Curly Gross* the general chairman, for his splendid work-in directing and aiding his co-workers. • ' • " • ' _ ! _ . o—: — :—-—- A RTHILE ? / SSISTS NORMALITES ' A VOTE OF THANKS goes out from the Normal school to Mr. Art Hile, Mount Baker theatre manager, for his splendid co-operation in presenting jthe Homecoming rally on his, stage last Thursday evening. Everything in his power was done to allow the student entertainment to progress smoothly and with ease to the participants. i j l l m H M JTT nil ."' " — - • " - " •— •- - Not an inconceivable number of hours ago the grapevine telegraph brought to my ear whisperings that the writer has beert designated The Cigar Store Indian, or Old Wooden-Face, or the Mutt With the Immovable Mug, or the: Man in the. Iron Mask, or some other absurdly descriptive misnomer. Lend me your auditory appendages, fellow gladiators, while I predict great wailing and gnashing of teeth when I ,catch up with the unprincipled panhandler that started those malicious, base, unwarranted— albeit flattering—rumors. I plead the opportunity of self-defense, and must necessarily make some limited use of the perpendicular pronoun. Your pardon. My face brings" to me great pain when I stick pins in it—therefore it is not of iron. It has not rusted from occasional applications of water; it has never-r-well, hardly ever—been attracted to a lodestone; it can be penetrated by a vigorous axe—therefore it is not of iron. It is not of wood because no one has ever complained of slivers. ((Perhaps no one has ever had the opportunity, but the fact remains that no one has complained.) Were it of wood I could put in some hinges ,and swinging joints to simulate a grin. But it is of such stuff that it hurts when I smile, stretches the lips, and cracks the skin. I know, because I did laugh once. Was it last week? or a week ago some Tuesday? . Anyway my friends were terribly shocked, and I. haven't yet recovered from the strain and the pain of looking happy. So to preserve the unseamed face of youth I dare not outwardly express my hilarity. And am I jubilant! My goo'ness—my goo'ness, I should say so—positively maniacal. If, in truth, "to cherish enthusiasms is to delude the mind," I guess I'm just one of God's little hallucinated idiots, but I keep the scars in a little cedar chest.at home because, for better or for worse, through sickness and through health, this is the pan I'm wedded to (without benefit of divorce) and must treat it gently. It serves the prime purposes any. face does—keeps my ears apart, forms the initial receptacle for turkey with cranberry sauce, and keeps my backbone from unravelling. What more can man ask? As Atkinson said to the monkey, "You're funny and you're homely as sin—but you're mine and I love you!" But after all—it takes a pretty big dog to weigh a ton and I am not the guy in the iron mask. Kiss me, my fool, for it's all a sham. Ina Kirkman Grecian in spirit and setting is the Festival of Thanksgiving which is given yearly by the training school at its pre-Thanksgiving assembly. This symbolic presentation of the harvest time and the spirit of doing for others is as much a well-loved tradition to the children as the annual Homecoming is to the Normal students, and suggestions to substitute other observances .•meet with little favor. The pageant was staged at 11 o'clock this morning in the auditorium with teachers and parents as invited guests. SCREEN i£ Preston A. Wright (Credit for the form of the festival is givert to the Francis Parker school, University of Chicago. In past years the speeches have been rewritten by the pupils of the training school, but this season a verbatim reproduction was given. So effective is the pageant that graduates of Normal who have witnessed it here are starting it in other schools of the state. Actual gifts of money and food were brought to school by the children and. at the close of the festival were given to the Red Cross milk fund and to the Bellingham Family Welfare Association. Committees from the various grades met with Miss Rich earlier in the month to arrange details, and the rehearsals were sectional, no full performance with •• the Normal orchestra being necessary. ROOSEVELT TUMBLERS ALLY FOR VIKINGS T H E FOUR 5 T U D E N T S from Roosevelt high school in Seattle who performed between halves at the Homecoming game last week-end deserve a great big hand and a vote of thanks."* Their antics kept the crowd interested, amused, and entertained, and provided a great deal toward the success of the game, from the spectators' standpoint. Their efforts were highly appreciated. o : An oboe is an ill wind that nobody blows good. This harvest festival is the only formal program given by the training school during the school year. Due to its serious spirit, and to the fact that even those children not on the stage are a part of the celebration, printed programs contained the request that the guests should not applaud. The stage was hung with black, and gold panels were a background for the throne of the goddess of the festival. A Grecian bench was seen at one side, balanced by clumps of green. At either corner of the stage were large terra cotta urns made by the sixth grade. Much Credit Due Committee Heads forTheir Labor In,regard to the Homecoming program and the committees in charge of various phases of the event, Curly Gross, general chairman, wishes to take this opportunity to "express his appreciation for the fine work done by his several committees." "Johnny Lensrud, Ken Elder, Jim Campbell and Eldon Bond deserve a world of credit for their work in the arrangement of the bonfire, luncheon, dance, decorations and programs. Ijew Lovegren, Doris McEl-jnon, Frank Forstrom, Florence Ford ^and Robert Becken contributed generously at the Homecoming lunche o n program as did Virge Griff en, Jiarry Cramer and Lew Lovegren at the Homecoming dance last Saturday evening." 'Gross, the man at the helm, said in regard to the program, "Every- 1 .thing ran smoothly, and we tried our best to place a successful Homecoming before the students." . - • • \ : ' . • ' ' • • ' — o New Books Move In Reading Room students who read for pleas-; ure' whl^find that i;he best books'are 4 and put,Ton^^s3peciat' 'sheu4' at the ^InOT^flitlfir^^ are At The Theatres MT.

The latest victim is our'new substitute music teacher, Mr. Don Bushell, of the class of 1931 of the University of Washington. Now we discovered that Mr. Bushell is indeed a very versatile person. Of course music, comes first in his long line of interests and in this he is extremely well-versed. Besides being able to play the piano and sing "passably" he is an accomplished cello player, as he will demonstrate in an assembly of the very near future. Although on graduation he received a degree from the school of education, Mr. Bushell has been doing graduate work in the music department since that time. He is a member of national honorary mus- Students Will Go To I. R. C.

Johnson Relates Vacation Sojourn "We left Bellingham, Saturday, Aug. 20, on our cross-country tour," said Miss Florence Johnson, Normal Hygiene .teacher, when we asked her about her vacation. . "By 'we', I mean Miss Sadie Fitzgerald/ training school teacher, and I. This was my first auto tour and I enjoyed it very .much. "The first, part of pur trip extended into Utah, Wyoming and the Inland Empire.. We visited Yellowstone National Park and the Tieton mountains, and it was in these mountains that we saw the most majestic scenery of our trip. "The usual route from these states to the Atlantic coast is through comparatively familiar country, so we diverged from the prescribed highway and went into the Southern states. Kentucky is like one vast park, with its beautiful estates. Virginia was the most beautiful state that we visited. Its charming atmosphere of the real old South-is irresistible. In Lexington we visited Washington and Lee University, which is famous for its traditional 'Colonial Ball. "A peculiar thing that we noticed in the South Was that all universities and colleges are for men, while teachers' colleges are for women. Another strange thing was that girls are not allowed to go down town without a hat, since that would mark them as definitely lower class. "From Virginia, we went northward to Atlantic City, where we did all the usual things. Miss Fitzgerald's home is near Camden, New Jersey, so she left me there, and I returned home by train."

Cheney Savages most of the way, only to lose the game because.^ of a blocked, place kick. In the opening minute of play, the boys in red caught the blue and white-clad gridsters with a series of unsuspected plays, culminating in a beautiful and perfectly-executed pass thrown by Peterson to Tilson who had scampered down to the •five-yard line, completely clear of Bellingham's secondary defense. After this shocking score and a nice place kick for the try-for-point, the large Homecoming crowd in the grandstand became suddenly depressed- by the thought—"It's going to be a bad day." . . . But,it wasn't! Vikings Aronsed The Vikings got sore and, spurred oh by the shouts of encouragement from the stands and the never- failing fight and enthusiasm of Captain Sulkosky, they were fired with real spirit and played dashing, heads-up football the rest of the game. The second quarter saw a poor quick-kick by Cheney's Peterson, which put theball in Bellingham's possession oh the 30-yard stripe. On the next play, and the prettiest of the game, Sinko caught the pass from center and made a bee-line for the right end. Two maroon-shirt-ed warriors came into the line of interference but Beaton smacked into the first one and Bagley put forth one supreme effort and by a beautiful block, paved the pathway to the goal line which was finally reached after Sinko had zig-zagged through a broken field. Play immediately after the touchdown moved into Cheney territory, and remained there during a large - part of the first two periods. Bel-viingham tried a long pass toward the closing minutes of the first half and, although it was incomplete, the umpire ruled that Day, right half, had interfered with the receiver, giving the Vikings the pigskin on the ten-yard stripe. Just as the crowd began yelling "We want a touchdown!" the gun ended the Blue's chance to win the ball game:' - Second Half Panting Duel The second half was fought on When Walt Sinko raced twenty-five yards for the Vikings' only score Saturday the Pollack from Raymond made history. In four battles,-1928 to 1931 inclusive; the Vikings have been unable to cross the Cheney goal line so'" this homecoming battle will be long remembered in tthe Sinko household Today, Sinko has one ambition, just to be here next year when the Ellensburg Wildcats come to town, and give the newspapers something to write about. In the last six starts against the Wildcats ttieWikings havecome out on the short end of the score, but Siiiko, is determined to puta blemish on EUensburg's record. Saturday's game only goes to prove that the Vikings are not so crummy as a football team after all.

Taking a team that had lost its first four starts, Saturday's exhibition was one that will be remembered for quite a spell, and here's a personal tribute to the squad: "There's been plenty of good teams that have worn the Blue and White, but you will have to go back a long tgime to find a team with as much fight and courage as the Vikings showed us Saturday, and that's saying plenty." With the final curtain rung down on the football schedule, all hands are turning to the hoop sport. In another section of todays paper you will find the intramural hoop schedule. Jt wouldn't be a bad idea Jo save this schedule for future reference. In my two years at Normal! m positive that no other branch of the .intramural program has kept the interest of the students, both boys and girls, as Well as the basketball program. The prospects for a successful season are nil. With only two veterans back from last year's squad, Coach Carver lies awake nights trying to devise ways and means of keeping the Vikings in the running. So far' the new material hasn't as yet come up to J. V. standards but with the starting of winter quarter early in January the Viking mentors are hoping for a change of luck. The report is going around that Clint McBeath, a star performer from the '31 squad, will hop into harness the first of the year. McBeath, together with Rork and McNeil, will lighten the weight considerably and if only someone could induce the curriculum.committee to offer a few more courses it Wouldn't be any trick at all to convince Occie Thorsen that school is a pretty good place after all. ._3t»jauvj ROCKETS #EAWC TWENTY CANDIDATES SEEK TEAM BERTHS Two Veterans, Rork and McNeil, to be Team Nucleus. If looks aren't deceiving you fans should have stepped out on the football field Saturday. It. looked nice, but OH my, the muck and mud was only four inches deep underneath the sawdust. A Homecoming game billed, advertised and all that goes with it without a Cheney team. That was the possibility up until about 12:30 Saturday. At thai hour Coach Carver hadnt heard hide nor hair of the Savages. No wonder the worried look on his countenance. wmMim even terms and was largely productive of a punting duel between Peterson, Cheney's full, and Smith and Beaton who were doing some nice booting for Bellingham. The boys ;in the flaming shirts made two attempts to score in the last period but both fell materially short of their goal. Their first onslaught was stopped when Peterson was forced to kick into the end zone, and then Beaton ended "their second effort by intercepting a long pass. Toward the end of the game, after a punting exchange, Sinko, playing safety, scooped up.a quick kick and dashed about thirty yards through 'a scattered defense. Followed a nice pass. Smith to Sinko, that carried the ball well into enemy territory; but Cheney Wok the pill on downs as the game ended. Vikings Show Up Well ' Finley, playing a whole game for the first time in his football career, threw every pass from center With accuracy and played a bang-up game on defense; along with the never-tiring Sulkosky and the hard-c h a r g ^ (PUnt,, lie looked outstanding in the line. Bagley did some nifty blocking and his share of gaining •^0p0''^aiar, before h lt;^re-hurt his anklel Smko Went great guns, With his hips shifting as smoothly life/ever. But -.'-tlite'-'tti!^the short i t w o r k o n r ^ d e f e n « , andhard The work of Pinley, Sulkosky and Flint on the line was outstanding, while Beaton, Bagley and Sinko played a whale of a game in the backfield, one that will remain a long time in the minds of the homecoming grads. - Football season ending today, attention will be turned to the coming basketball squad. The first' official turnout was held on Monday night, with twenty enthused performers answering the call. Two Vets Back Coach Sam Carver will build his team around two veterans, Jim Rork who was center and guard for three years and A! McNeil, who' played guard last year. Clint McBeath, spark plug of last year's team, may come back to school for the winter quarter. His services will'add' great strength to the 1933 quintet. The Vikings will enter . but one team in the City .league this year. In the past two teams have been entered, but the class A league being dropped this year causes the super varsity to discontinue; Pop Gunn's Junior varsity will enter the city league again. Pop's team won the city championship in the class B league last.season and hopes to keep his team on the top again. - " * • • • . • ' .• Many Positions Open Many positions are open due to graduation and men dropping out of school.

WASHINGTON Friday, February 12, 1937 Litie And Learn .By Don Gooding- All these floods, and deluges, and excessive amounts of moisture recall the appearance of Lake Waldo and a miniature Chuckanut Drive on the campus two years ago under conditions much like those which are now besetting us. At that time Lake Waldo was four or five feet deep in spots, Edens hall was partly submerged, the carpenter's shop was covered by a slide that necessitated its removal to the grandstand, several boxes of WPA tools were buried along with the shop (they still are) and Dack and his helper were worn to a frazzle coping with the turbulent waters and frolicksome slides. Noah, where ark thou? * • * # * Chalk this down on the slate of good sportsmanship. During: the UBC defeat, a slightly pragmatical official called a foul for unnecessary roughness on a Viking ' player and gave the UBC man three shots instead of the more ethical two, usual* ty awarded in such a case. Henderson, the fouled man, took the first two throws, and then, believing the other shot illegal, threw the ball away. Such things do happen, after all, in spite of the heat of the bat« tie, More apologies, this time from the British Broadcasting Company for a slight slip-up that occurred last •, Monday evening over a trans-Atlantic hook-up. Shocked no end were the administrators of this radio system when during a song wherein a line pertaining to "sex appeal" was being vocalized, some unprincipled wretch inserted an entirely unexpected .J^Mrs^iSUnpjS^ A~ long-standing record of "which they were singularly proud went by the boards with the mention of these words. Never before had the woman who proved stronger than a mighty kingdom been privileged to have her name spoken on that network. * * * • * immediately, the program was cut off the air. Several minutes later an extremely apologetic announcer made known the fact that the company was sorry for the lack of good taste shown at the first of the program. Evidently all the fireworks are not totally in Spain. * * * * * Such a break in a broadcast has been effected before in America, too, surprisingly enough. Once during a wild and woolly series of speeches put on by Major-General Smedley Butler, that rampaging soul was shut-off abruptly when he offended by emitting a line of invectives usually reserved for more private use. Hugh ^Johnson, former New Deal head, also was forced to undergo a similar exercising of restraint on the air. Tsk, Tsk. * * * * * YE ARE, ARE YE? Out of the night that covers me. Black as the Pit from pole to pole,. I thank whatever God there be For my unconquerable soul. U matters not hovo strait the gate. How charged with punishment the scroll— f am the Master of my fate, I am the Captain of my soul. . . . W. E. Henley. * * * * * Anaylzing the mysterious reasons and causes for the numerous C's and D's and F's received in college student's English classes, the president of Vassar college offered his opinion that "they futilely try to reveal their own hearts, as yet immature, which they do not understand, and that they try to write about some subject of which they know little or nothing." No wonder love-letters are so hard to write. * * * * * Back in Montreal, Canada, and the near vicinity, depressed merchants are setting up a clamor be-caose a lack of rigorous weather is failing to induce citizens to bay large quantities of winter goods that they now have on hand. For weeks springlike temperatures have been plaguing these harassed businessmen, much to their unconcealed dis-j r o s t . . . . Go West, young man, go West! Klipsun Staff Chooses 'Big 1T Outstanding Junior-Senior Students To Be Honored in Annual ; Winners Are Well Known In School. Chosen for their activities and outstanding personalities, six men and six women junior-seniors have been named as the most representative students by the Klipsun staff. Helen Acklen, Helen Hostetter, Ruth Kulle Carroll, Marian Hayden, Mary Jane Moergeli, Joan Hoppe, Warren Toms, Chet Ullin, Bob Barnhart. Harry Kluge, Arne Johnson, and Bill Taylor are 1937's "Big 12." Because of her many activities, including membership on the Board of Control, Valkyrie, WAA, Alkisiah and work putting over rec hours, HELEN ACKLEN has earned her place on the big 12. Activities in band, Vanadis Bragi, track, plays, and Klipsun and Viking staffs have all contributed to make WARREN TOMS an outstanding junior. Ullin Is Popular For her services in Women's League, the staff honors MARY JANE MOERGELI. Four years on the gridiron as stellar guard for the Vikings and three years behind the Co-op counter prompted students to nominate CHET ULLIN for the most popular man on the campus. Editor-in-chief of last year's annual, HELEN HOSTETTER deserves a place of honor in this one. Helen also wears a pin for four quarters' reporting on the Viking.

This play is seldom seen on the professional stage, the reason being that it has too many good parts. The star declines to share his glory with other actors, so he has eschewed this drama all through the centuries. The fact is, however, that "Much Ado About Nothing" has almost everything in abundance that especially characterizes the writings of Shakespeare. There is lightning-like play of words and action—the basis of high comedy. There is a swooning melodramatic plot about a fat lady in distress, involving, such romantic-stuff as is found "In the Cpapel in the Moonlight." The fact is that Shakespeare actually produces this chapel, thus anticipating by over 300 years the high iights of the Hit Parade. "Much Ado," along overlooked bet for amateurs, gives everybody plenty to do and will prove an interesting excursion into the field of the seldom-seen shows at Shakespeare. Cot**?

The contest closes at midnight, March 6. Why not take a camera on your next trip to the lodge and snap a few shots? The photographer will have plenty of range, there being two classes of pictures; the first, scenes, and the second, skiing, groups of persons or individuals, animals, oddities, or the like. The prints must not be larger than 8x10 inches, and must not be framed or mounted. Send as many as you want to the Amateur Snapshot Editor, The Herald. Judges will be B. W. Huntoon, J. W.

Colleges, held annually in February. He plans to leave this week-end in order to be able to preside over a banquet on the opening day of the meetings, Friday, February 19. President Fisher is the vice-president of this association. It is expected that 200 presidents and representatives of Teacher's colleges and Normal schools from all parts of the United States will attend. The following Sunday, February 21, the meetings of the Department of Superintendence and many other divisions of the National Educational association will begin. . Upshall Discusses Contracts Dr. C.

Yesterday President Fisher left for the capitol at Olympia to appear before the committees of both the House of Representatives and the Senate for hearings on the budget and appropriations. "The prospects for getting our necessary funds are good," stated President Fisher. He also said that he expected the bill concerning the name of the school to be in the Governor's hands within the next ten days. Whoops!

The legislator's stand is not surprising. He gains much publicity. But more startling is the favorable attitude expressed by Irvin S. Cobb in his editorial column. Cobb sanctions the new bill by saying, "the bill . . . would mean discipline and morale for thousands of young Americans, and if needed, would provide the nucleus of a well-trained citizen army." He also adds, "Watch the pacifists fight it—pacifists being well-meaning folks who believe in Santa Claus, turning -the other cheek, and the beautiful, if slightly impractical theory, that a white rabbit will be perfecdy safe among a pack of greedy coyotes." "w'ell, Mr. Cobb, this believer in Santa Claus takes exception to your above statements to the extent of saying that military training for the CCC boys would be the greatest miscarriage of justice to which an administration could be a party. Is it fair to force the poor of our country into a soldier's uniform? And what need is there for a military reserve "providing the nucleus of a well-trained citizen army?" Does not the National Guard serve the same purpose? Why, Mr. Cobb, do you imply that discipline and morale is lacking in the CCC camps? Perhaps you do not remember the efficient manner in which workers combatted forest fires, moving from scene to scene with skill and ease. It calls for discipline and morale to face danger. Mr. Cobb's satyrical definition of a pacifist may make his readers laugh, but even a slight perusal in political economics might give him a different viewpoint concerning these "well-meaning" folks. A pacifist is not the only exceptor to the bill. The purpose for which these camps were organized is still remembered by the voters, pacifist or non-pacifist. A bill amending this purpose cannot hope for support from people as close to results of the CCC as are the people of Washington. Movie Review "THE PLAINSMAN", Cecil B. DeMille's latest production, starts toT morrow at the MT. BAKES for a five-day engagement... This play, one of the most dynamic romances of the wild west ever to be filmed, is starring GARY COOPER as Wild Bill Hickok, and JEAN ARTHUR in the role of Calamity Jane, the fast shooting, two-gun sweetheart of the ragged plainsman... "The Plainsman" depicts a deathless love story which is woven into a thrilling background of breathtaking bigness that any true American will appreciate.—Slim Summervill and little Ann GUlfe join the Jones Family in "Off to the Races", for the second feature on the same bill. Look out for your change gents, "THE GOLD DIGGERS OP 1937" are back in town, now playing at the GRAND through Monday, starring ye old favorites Dick Powell and Joan Blondell; Dick as usual, singing his way into the hearts of the ladies, and Joan digging her way into the hearts and pocketbooks of the men. The two stars are assisted by a bevy of beautiful chorus girls; incidentally one of them is a local girl, Mary Windsor. "THAT GIRL FROM PARIS" with Lily Pons, Cene Raymond and Jack Oakie starts tomorrow at the A VALON and will play through Tuesday. It's the song splashed marathon of love between an opera queen and a jazz king; an eyefull of the gayest mademoiselle in gay Paree. —rOn the same bill, Jane Withers is at her best in the "HOLY TERROR". Both features are first run pictures. Campi Coast to Coast Hero of the log cabin days whose kindliness and Humanitarian realism gives him a place in the heart of every American. A lover of the poor, we find his likeness on our humble copper; for his unequaled statesmanship we find his image in the highest places of honor and respect. May the finest of tributes be accorded to honest Abe Lincoln. 'Believe It, Why Not' By Gee From an observer's standpoint one might say that CHUCK BEVAN would, be a hard man to upset, but he certainly Was perturbed about the loss of his Indiana boot (the only one in this neck of the Woods, he says) Friday night. Are we glad that he finally located it—saved taking up a relief fund. Much has been said against the Serv-u-well, but we think the management, who seem to be trying to run a fairly respectable business, has some kick coming, too. What about those two expensive badminton rackets that were swiped out of the case—where do the candy bars and school supplies disappear to—what about the four or five smarties who tried to mooch the pie after the game the other night—and what can be said in favor of the chiseiers who order and do not pay, or those who take their lunches in, dirty up the booths, walk out,—all free gratis?.. Can't say that the vices are all on the Serv-u-welTs side. By Betty Bowdish A University of Maryland student conducts a novel service that is a distinct snap. During lectures he keeps listeners from dozing off into dreamland by cracking his fingers and snapping them. A co-ed from East Central State Teachers college was urging the girls to sing better during a mass meeting the other night. "You girls don't sing with enough fire. Let yourself go. Open your mouth and throw yourself into it" New York university profs are lecturing Sing Sing inmates on business. A recent topic was "Your Dollar and Mine." Wonder if Cinn Co., publishers of many textbooks, have any affiliation with Teachers, distillers of fine whiskeys? Contemporary literature may be classed under three headings—the neurotic, the erotic and the tommy-rotic. Mothers of Spanish rebels are about to set their respective feet down. They claim that there is no reason for their sons to stay up all night just bombing around. That big red apple sometimes found in teacher's desk took the form of Hiram Walkers—a quart, at that, on the desk of Instructor Mulloy of Creighton university. It was presented to him by the class after the completion of one of his gigantic assignments in the hope that it would acquaint him with that muggy feeling that comes after a long session with pages of fine print. Mulloy tossed the bottle into the Wasiebasket, sayings "Like the Europeans, I don't believe crime and alcohol are associated." A professor at Roanoke university claimed that some of his students would soon be as famous as Napoleon at the rate they were going down in history.

The neckline was square, and the shoulder straps of rhinestone. DOROTHY HUNT, who was escorted by Douglas Gibb, was ordered in a black, figured lace dress, made on princess lines, with small puff sleeves, fitted bodice, and full skirt. The low V-neckline in front showed the colored band at the top of the black taffeta slip. At the top and bottom of the slip were bands of silk of different shades, which shone through the lace, producing a rainbow effect.

President Don Zylstra's appointment of Glenn Willison as secretary to the Board was accepted. The appointment is for one quarter. Earl Eckert was the only other person to make application. Beryl Wise, who held the position last quarter, has dropped sdhool. The salary of the secretary was reduced from $20 a quarter to $1 each meeting. Insert Discussed Robert McConnell, who is backing a movement to get a special literary page in an issue of the Viking put in a plea for the necessary $25 00. Briefly, McConnell's plan is that the English instructors shall choose the best of the material that the students in the English classes hand in in their class work, to make up this literary insert page.' Poems, essays, short stories, or anything else of literary value will be considered. After a lengthy discussion it was decided that Mr. McConnell should make out the dummy and a detailed plan to present to the Board in two weeks. Harry Kluge, Viking editor, was present and offered advice on this matter. One other decision of the Board was that the duties connected with the office of rec hour chairman are too many to place on one person. , o Former Custodian Passes Suddenly Cigarette Ads Refused By Trustee Board The sudden death of Mrs. Helen M. Roose, Bellingham Normal custodian, last Saturday, February 6, at a local hospital due to a heart attack, came as a shock to her family and many friends and acquaintances. Mrs. Roose, who was born in Alberta, Canada, and who Cigarette advertising i n t h e Northwest Viking shall not be was the decision handed down by a board of trustees' meeting a week ago yesterday. The trustees also decided that the paper would only be published during the first six weeks of the summer quarter as there are so few activities during the last five. The judging of the Viang new name contest which closed last Wednesday has gone into its primary stages. Five names have been picked and examples of them will be set up by Miller Sutherlen, printers. After being set up in type these examples will be taken to the English department for criticisms and then to the board of control for final approval. The winning name will be announced in two or three weeks with a five-pound box of candy as a prize for the suggestor.

Sport News SOUKUP. Editor Led by Art Stoelting, 6 foot 11 in. center weighing 225 pounds, the be-whiskered House of David quintet will play the Western Washington Vikings Tuesday night in an exhibition game in the new gym. The House of David team, entirely made up of ex-college stars, is ranked as of the better class Amer* 'ican basketball attractions. Coach Charles F. Lappenbusch, in a letter sent him by the House of David Manager George H. Johnson, quotes, "The boys are pleasing the fans by their ball handling cleverness, and by their little comedy stunts, and I am sure that Belling-ham fans will enjoy their efforts." Continuing, Lappenbusch went on tainment but in the finer points of ,ting a real treat not only in enter-to say that Normal students are get-the game. "We do not feel," he said, that we have a chance to win this game because^ we know these men are superior both in ability and from long experience." Win Most Games The House of David team averages 125 games a season with 90 per cent of them in the win column. * The Benton Harbor team has as center the aforementioned* Stoelting, an ex-Central College of Iowa flash, who played with the Olson Swedes, a prominent team of the United SiatesjV for two seasons. For guards fpfcram has Gregg and Artie Deim, brothers, the former having been a member of the tri-state Olympic champs and the latter a member of a National A.A.U. contender. "Swede" Olson and Don- "Horste" Peterson, both former college stars, fill the forward slots. The Vikings will leave on the 17th to play Ellensburg on the 18th, and Cheney on the 20th days of this month. UBC Trip Better Than Game Subs Get Stuck Somewhere; They Ain't Told Yet; We Have Our Suspicions. SOUKIE SAYS . . . By Harry Kluge s I was walking up to school Monday morning when Cline yells, "Let's go to Vancouver." So I hops in, along with a yell leader, a couple of football players (one in a ski suit,) and a couple of habitual smokers. We got by the border OK (Tarte's affected American accent worked) and finally ended up on the snow-covered campus of the University of British Columbia. After brazenly crashing the gate, we find ourselves in a lunch room with a basketball floor in the center. The game starts. It was quite evident that no one's digestion was even threatened by over-excitement. First, the Vikings made a basket and then the Canadians retaliated. All very thrilling. Ho, hum, more peanuts, Kenny. Half: Vikings 15, UBC 16. Second half was called. Lappy looks on the bench for subs and finds a yell leader, a couple of football players (one still in the ski outfit) and the two habitual smokers. The other tear isn't here yet. Lappy says maybe M. T. Nelson can't get by the line. The second^half is much more exciting. One Canadian eats half a banana before she peels it. Phair doubles up his first and chokes over a few swear words, but numbers are against him. No smoking signs are completely obliterated by cigarette smoke. In walks the subs. "Hot dog," says Lappy. "Now I can substitute." So in they go. And then UBC goes to work. Boy, how they rip that net. It's a relief to hear the gun go off. Score: Vikings 34, UBC 44. Coach Lappenbusch Meat Packers, Frosh, Co-op Lead Intramural Leagues The Vikings may be in a sustained slump but it doesn't seem to be contagious, as the beefy Meat Packers Marred by forfeits, the B league of the intramural basketball setup is still displaying some fine ex-keep on packing them in. While th»; hibitions of basketball... The Frosh, meaty ones are knocking over everything in their path, the Buttercups are going down faster than the Leviathan and with a minimum of cheering or booing. Barton's hall, with Tesreau and the under-slung Carlson on the fir ing line, is only two games behind the league* leaders. The two games which the Beanery five has lost were tossed into the Packers' hope chest. The Bartonians have taken every other team in the league and should come out somewhere near the top. Last Friday in a rough battle the Meat Packers let the Buttercups down and then kicked them as they won with 24 chalk marks to 12. The W club team has the right idea, they looked the elongated beef trust, called the Meat Packers, over and decided to give up the ghost. If somebody doesn't stop these galloping menaces the rest of the teams in the league might as well go and take up swimming, as they will be left down in the depths. Daniels, in,a slow game against r gt; j r » lt;•» »,« D , Mrs. Barton's boys, lost the game so rtesh Jack CT J ILL ries gracefully that it was a wonder that they didn't bring their beds.

Magnolia St. 615 High Co-op, and Mareview hall are now the temporary leaders, all possessing squads., of., fine., passing combinations. The Frosh were knocked from first place standing by an aggressive Midget squad in the latest of B league battles, by a surprising score of 24 to 10. It was a slow and av erage game with the half time score of 12 to 4. McFarland led the Midgets with nine points, while Cronkite held up the slipping Frosh with five. ....Strengthening their hold on first place honors, the Coop snowed under Edwards hall by the large margin of 40 to 14... The Co-ops, only once defeated, that being by the disbanded Northwest Viking squad, have steadily rose to newer heights. Buroughs led the storemen against Edwards scooping up 12 talleys. Edwards tried desperately to save his homestead with seven points.

Cheney has a stranglehold on the Tri-normal title and needs only one victory to cinch a tie for the crown. The Vikings will play both Cheney and Ellensburg ere the Savages and Cats meet again. If the Norse lose to Ellensburg, they will be definitely out of the race and meeting over at Cheney will simply be a matter of schedule. In spite of their recent slump, I am picking the Vikings to take the Cats, but the Savages look too good and playing on their home floor is too big a factor to expect to overcome. Last Friday night's game Wrote at least one player s name in the all Tri-normal roster and that was Leonard (Pink) West of Cheney. The little fellow playing in the guard position wasn't in the game long, but long enough to give the fans an eyeful of real basketball. Nelson and Eustace put up a battle of their own, both chalking up practically the same number of points, but Nelson seems to have the shade in his aggressiveness. While speaking of Tri-normal stars, there are two unsung members of the Viking squad, whose playing in recent games will make it impossible to leave their names from the list of players eligible for the Tri-normal honors. Ted Dziedzic, whose floorwork and checking in the back court has stamped him as one of the most valuable guards in the conference, and Johnny Fox, who puts up a battle from start to finish, are the two lads who are causing Viking opponents many worries. The Misinformed Someone has been kidding the sports writers of the two institutions on the other side of the mountains; here is the gist of a few excerpts from the school paper: Laurance Butzer of the Cheney Journal is hailing a great Bellingham star by the name of Sam Carver, who, it is reported, also plays football. Butzer also raves about the near defeat the Vikings were supposed to have handed the University of Washington. Over in Ellensburg, Fabio Cappa seems to think the Vikings played the Savages over in Cheney and that Ted Dziedzic is the star member of the Monmouth squad. Hunches for the Week Ron Mathison of the University of British Columbia will be a cinch to make the all Junior college five, along with Dale Case of St. Martins. With The WAA By Howell What would you have done, Boonie, if the Indians had pasted the chips back in place on the trees as you were following a perfectly elegant blazed trail? Those were the good old days when pioneers and buffalo were abundant. Now we find an occasional scout or frontiersman tramping through the wild wood but they are scarce. It would seem that the day of the racoon cap and flintlock rifle have entirely vanished. Only in museums and relic collections do we find reminders of that half-forgotten age. Is there none of its glamor and romance left? Will our generation pass into that great brotherhood, 'the "mystic night," without seeing the broad rolling plains our forefathers saw; without experiencing the spine-tingling thrill which comes from conquering the trackless forest?

XXXIV.—NO. 5 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, November 1, 1935 Campus Chatter Wandering into the vicinity of the assembly last Friday, we had eur ears deafened from the shouts which issued forth. Upon inquiries we found out that it wasn't the in-dians on the warpath at all, but a pep rally under the able leadership of Shangle and his dukes, Kosky and Wickstrom. The boys are doing great work towards re viving something of the old school spirit, and deserve this week's laurels for their efforts. * * * * Judging from all the wild yells that reverbrated around the halls from four to six on Wednesday, the Board of Control was having a private pep rally. That's pretty fine of President Millikan to show such an interest in school spirit. How about having a private Board of Control cheering section at the games? * * * * If this present state of weather, which tells of the definite arrival of Winter, is any criterion, the game tonight will more than likely be played in snow drifts. But don't let a little thing like the cold stop you. Raid the unused beds and closets for crazy quilts, drag out your buffalo robes, ear muffs, mittens, and mufflers, and come to the game. If Admiral Byrd could stand it for two years at the South Pole, sturdy Normalites should be able to sit through two hours of a football game.

Hoppe "Three Cornored Moon," a modern comedy of youth and the family, is now in rehearsal. This play, to be presented in Eaens Hall Blue room the first week of December, marks a new departure in Division of Drama production. The problems raised by presentation in the center of the theater, on the ground floor, with the audience grouped about on all four sides, are proving very interesting to directors and actors. All old traditions centering in the removal of a fourth wall are being scrapped. The actors move freely With Jay Curtis and his orchestra furnishing the music, the annual Homecoming dance on November 16 at the State Armory will climax the week-end of Homecoming festivities. It is scheduled to begin at 9 p. m. Those in charge of plans for the three-days activities are: general chairman, Ladd Shangle, aided by Kenneth Wickstrom and Severn Kosky, rally; Cliff Johnson, game; Wes Randrup, advertising; Jerry Jacobsen, dance; Gordon Millikan, luncheon; radio broadcast, Burdette Miller; and Anabel Keller and Dorothy Kelly, assembly. Thursday evening will open the homecoming program with a broadcast at 8:30 over radio station KVOS.

A glance at the calendar reveals that in exactly two wveks this main event of the school year occurs. If the affair itself even half lives up to all the plans that are under way it would be "bigger and better than ever," to use that time-worn quotation of all chairmen in charge of any and all events. * * * * Rec hours seemed to show some improvement with regards to a smaller and more unobtrusive stag-line at the beginning of the quarter, but now the stags are falling right back into their old rut. It seems rather unfair that so many men should stand silently by, without even so much as a thought for those poor girls who are just longing to be out there dancing and yet are never asked. Maybe these big, strong men are merely bashful! about the room just as if they were p r e s i d e n t gt; m u s i c , a n d a mes_ indeed m a room. They must pay's a g e f r Q m C h a i r m a n L a d d s h a n g le no attention to the impertinent lookers-on who have paid for the priivilege of peeping through the walls. All furniture is selected and placed in such a way that it will not block the audience's vision. Imaginary windows looking into outer space are actually filled with spectators. If a fireplace be used, only a foot or two of brick backing, plus andirons and firescreen may be shown. Actors enter through aisles of the auditorium and all changes in the set are made in full view of he on-lookers. There are, of course, no curtain and no scene changes. The cast for "Three Cornored Moon" follows: Mrs. Rimplegar, Ruth Kulle; Jennie, Margaret Morse; Elizabeth, Rose Altose; Ed, Ed Porter; Kenneth, Warren Toms; Doug, Maynard Ponko; Dr. Stevens, Maurice Nelson; Donald, Boyd Swanson; Kitty, Norma jane Gors-line; Associate Director, Faith Scheyer. o Women's Officers Elected for Year Immediately following the Women's League musical assembly today the Women's League election was held. The candidates were introduced by Charlene Mautz during the assembly. Results of the voting will be known Monday. The candidates were Esther Gius, Helen McNeil and Margaret Foster for secretary of the League; Lois Hankamp Betty Howell, Jeene Borgstedt and Margaret Greely for freshman representatives. President of Scholarship Society Gives The Lowdown on Ascent To Success will all be included in the entertainment. An assembly at 11 a. m. on Friday, which will begin with a pep rally and finish with a program of skits and acts will start off the day's activities. A rally, a bonfire on Waldo field, and a rec hour will conclude the day's plans. Saturday at noon the faculty and alumni will be entertained at a luncheon in Edens hall. Alumni tickets for the dance will be given out at this time. The Ellensburg- Nomal football game will be the main feature of the afternoon, and as a conclusion to the entire program, the dance will be in the evening. o Patterson's Exhibition In Normal's Museum Celebrates Art Week With an exhibition of pictures by Ambrose Patterson, one of the Northwest's foremost artists, as the highlight, the Normal art department joined the in celebration of National Art Week.

H. Fisher told of the shift in the source of public school funds from the state to the federal government. President Fisher explained that this trend points toward the federal sponsorship of the first year of college work to be offered students in their home towns. He showed, that only 60 per cent of the total amount given for education is given by the state and warned that to avoid the danger of complete federal sponsorship of public education federal funds should be cleared through the state department of education. "The present method of apportionment of school funds is not equitable," President Fisher told the teachers. "It works an injustice on many of the poorer districts. Some of the richer districts are receiving more than they rightfully should from the state and have cut their levies accordingly. "Another trend is toward more adult education not just to meet the emergency, but as a permanent part of our public school system. Courses for adults in Americanization, citizenship, sociology, economics, and politics will be offered. "The ordinary high school is the weakest part of the school system," concluded President Fisher. "It is routinized. We talk about guidance but do very little about it. The high school is kept too busy teaching subject matter to teach boys and girls. A pupil's failure is the school's failure. Most high school teachers are too specialized—they need a breadth of education rather than a narrow specialization." o Jewell Is Chairman of Annual Faculty Party To Be Held Thursday The annual fall quarter faculty dinner will be held at 6:30 on Thursday evening, November 7, at the Bellingham hotel. The general chairman for this affair is Miss Mildred Jewell of the Womens' Board Appoints Dolan Manager Next Klipsun Tweit's Orchestra To Play Remaining Rec Hours of "Fall Quarter for Construction of Gym Now Open for Bids Work on P.

(Bob) Hartley, president of the Scholarship society and vice-president of the Associated Students in a personal interview obtained Wednesday evening, at the shcool library. Hartly also said that he is a great singer and actor. He was once told by Victor Hoppe to clown in a play, and he was such a success that he has been at it ever since. "I'm the only big shot that the Viking staff missed," he said. When asked about the inhabitants of the school this brilliant student gave as his own original opinions, "The girls are all right, most of the boys are pretty good, and the faculty is all right." Another one of his numerous accomplishments is his indisputable skill in playing the tuba, according to him. He says that he is never bothered by women and that it is quite an experience being interviewed, since this is the first time that it has happened to him. HarWey is a product of Lynden high school, but now he gives Seattle as the place of his home. Pep Song Contest Has Big Response Although it at first appeared that there were very few "students in the school aspiring to become composers, the last few days of the contest to select a pep song brought quite a host of replies. The contest, which closed yesterday, received many songs that might easily be judged winners. The winner will be announced next week by the committee consisting of Nancy Jane Smith, Joan Hoppe, and Gordon Millikan. It is hoped that the chosen song will spur the Vikings on to a bigger and better Homecoming than any ever experienced before, and that the score will find our team among the day's winners. "Pop is a Methodist minister/' said Hareley, "but in spite of early inhibitions, I have developed almost normally." He ended the interview, saying with a sigh, "My great am-brations.

Uphold the Rec Hours "Put on your " Well, we don't care what you put on, but put on something and we'll be seeing you at the Women's Informal tomorrow evening in the Crystal Ball room of the Leopold hotel. Don't forget, girls, that this affair only comes once a quarter and even if you haven't asked anyone yet, do so at once, even if you have to lure the milkman or kidnap the Chinese laundry-man. Until a few years ago rec hours were always held on Friday afternoons from four to five o'clock. Students came from classes to the Big gym, danced for an hour and went home. As time went on it became evident that it would be necessary to change the schedule because of conflict with various other activities. The Board of Control took action on this situation and designated that rec hours thereafter should be held on Friday evenings from eight to eleven o'clock. This schedule was to be continued only as long as student conduct remained irreproachable and the attendance warranted it. Student sponsors were made responsible for these informal affairs and each week the faculty sponsors were asked to make a report to the Board on the general attitude of the preceeding rec hour. The reports last year were practically all satisfactory and many times commended the fine spirit of the students. As yet this year there have been no faculty reports made but the Board is considering the desirability of again taking this opportunity to check on student conduct at rec hour. At a recent Board of Control meeting President Millikan stated that rec hours were not such a vital part of the school activity that they could not be entirely discontinued at any time. Complete control of these all-school dances lies in the hands of this student- faculty group and they will not hesitate for a moment in doing away with any activity which is not living up to the fine standards for which this school is known and respected. Rec hours are student responsibilities and it depends entirely upon you whether or not they shall be continued. Th Book Shelf THE WORLD AS I SEE IT. Albert Einstein, (tr. from German by Allan Harris.) Mr. Einstein's intellectual stature is enhanced in the mind of the general public to nigh immortal proportions. The closer acquaintance this book offers with the man will help supplant this ignorant worship of a great intellect with a more intelligent degree of respect. Every line contains the thought of a mind which looks upon the world objectively and completely without rancor. This volume is a compilation of articles, addresses, and letters organized into book form by an anonymous disciple of Einstein. It is divided into five distinct parts— Scientific, The World as I See It, Germany, 1933, Judaism, Politics and Pacifism. Keep Posted Weather and Wit Periodical Parade By Marion Peterson "Men Who Will Never Fight Again" is he title of an interesting article in the October 19 Literary Digest dealing with the opinions of maimed veterans on the new war in Ethiopia. The author describes in striking detail the horrors to be found in a veterans' hospital, where legs, arms, and nerves are gone because of one war. Strangely enough, the crippled vets aren't interested at all in Ethiopia but would rather talk about the World Series or the fights. * * * * * Starting with the assumption that a bride this fall would not have much to spend, the fairytale-like story in the October House Beautiful entitled "If I Were a Bride This Fall" builds the little woman a house and furnishes it with everything the richest society debutante could wish for. She even insists on tea every day at four before an open fire-place with pine cones burning in it. Gertrude Stein is simple compared to the problem of paying for the things this bride wants. • * • • * I n Forum for November there is an amusing article which tries hard to be serious concerning the comparative merits of Mickey Mouse and Popeye. The debate is titled "Mickey vs. Popeye" and is written by William DeMille. He discusses the characters of the [two comic strip favorites as if they were people and concludes with the statement that the Mickey-Mous-ians of today will be the New Dealers of tomorrow because of the altruism in Mickey's character To our surprise we learned that our beloved Popeye breeds a race of Fascists. Maybe it would be better to attach our affections permanently to Little Henry after all. Close~Ups DON HOLDER and PAT JACOBSON, those gents that visited the city jail rather recently because they liked the thought of a little excitement, via the shoe repair, are both from Aberdeen and are both prepared to tell everyone how a mule should be ridden. .Each one of them has a girl out of town, all of which ;goes".to prove the piece "Absence makes the heart ,grow fonder of somebody else". CLIFF JOHNSON was : forced to give up his job as business manager of the Klipsun because of too many other activities. Cliff as the football manager, "W" club publicity man and dance instructor. He is also on the Board of Control and has as large a feminine following in the school as any other of the less-fair sex.

The Vikings will be without the services of Max Mackenzie, quarterback, in tonight's game. MacKenzie cracked three ribs m a recent game and may be lost to the team for the season. The loss will be keenly felt by the football team as Mac Kenzie was the regular quarterback. PLC Ends Strong Tonight's game will feature a passing attack by both teams. Pacific Lutheran have two of the fastest ends in the history of the school in Ivar and Moe, and will keep the Viking backs busy on pass defense. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch has been drilling his squad on passes and laterals all week and promises to show the fans some new plays. Comparative scores show the two teams to be closely matched wth the Vikings established as slight favorites. PLC recently beat the College of British Columbia by a large score. They lost to Ellens-burg normal by one touhcdown, so the strength of Ellensburg and Cheney normals can be rated after tonight's game. Lineup Is Undecided The starting lineup has not been named as yet, but Lappenbusch plans to use most of his squad in an effort to get the best combination fo the future Cheney and Ellensburg games. Girls' PE Classes Start Playing Basketball Soon; Hockey Turnout Small Girls' P. E. I classes that have an exceptionally large attendance will play intramural basketball games. There are enough participators to form 14 teams and the games will start as soon as the girls have learned more concerning the rules and correct positions of the game. The badminton class which is small, gives the girls an opportunity to obtain practice and tutoring. Hockey turnout is also small. This sport is still open to any girl who has played hockey during high school in previous quarters, or who have never played before. "It is evident that there is a development of splendid material," stated Miss Mildred Jewell, hockey instructor, Turnouts are held whenever possible and many of the girls announce that the games are thoroughly enjoyable. Hazel Olie was elected as manager of volleyball turnout taking the place of Anna Berg. The WAA initiation tea will be held in the Blue room of Edens hall in about two weeks. All those wishing to belong to the WAA and who did not attend the first meeting may still hand in their names to Betty Ewing, president. The WAA Halloween party which was to have been held this Friday has been called off because of the football game.

Official Opening Of Intramural League Monday Eight Teams Signed for Play Under Last Year's Rules; Carver Officiates Normal Jayvees Will Play in City Hoop Tournament Men's Club Sponser Normal J.V. Basketball Team To Play In City League The Junior Varsity basketball team, sponsored by the Men's club, was entered in the Class A basketball league at the Y.M.C.A. last Monday night. The advisor of the team is Coach Carver, who will be with the players during the games, making substitutions and directing the team as needed. Bill Taylor will be the active manager, taking care of the equipment as well as playing on the team. An entering fee has been paid by the Men's club. The club has also planned to buy new suits for the team, although the colors have not yet been decided upon. Although no definite date has been set for the first game, it will probably be during the third week of November. The J. V. squad's opponents will be J. C. Penney, Furniture Factory, and Y.M.C.A. teams. Some of the pospects for the J. V. team are Singer, Taylor, Starlund, Munkers, Anges, Moscrip, and Kluge, all of whom will play on intramural teams. Cheney and Ellensburg Show Potential Power After scouting the Cheney-El lensburg game last week Coach Chuck Lappenbusch is of the opinion that both clubs are going to be stiff opposition for the Vikings. Although the game ended a scoreless tie, Cheney had a decided advantage both in offensive and defensive play. Anderson, a two-year veteran who is now playing fullback showed up well along with Moss and Barnes, two big halfbacks. Ellensburg had the edge in punting with Taylor booting the ball high and far. Hakala was outstanding on the line while Hall a 5-foot, 5 fullback, played a bang-up game. Sam Carver will blow the whistle Monday afternoon at 4:00, throw the ball up, and the intramural basketball season will be officially started for the 1935 season. Eight teams have entered the league and promise to give the fans some of the classiest ball ever seen in the little gymnasium. At the managers' meeting in Carver's office last Tuesday, it was decided to play two games a night, at 4:00 and 4:45, with Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday as the playing days. Last year's rules will be followed all this season. Carver and Bill Taylor, assistant, will referee the games. A new rule to be brought before the managers in a future meeting will concern the out-of-bounds play. It is considered having no out-of-bounds at all, playing the entire floor, and putting the spectators in the balcony. According to Carver, this rule, if adopted, would be liable to hurt some of the players if they were shoved against the wall. However, he is willing to have two teams try the plan. Monday's games will find the Coop playing the W club at 4:00 and the Men's club facing Edwards hall in the second battle at 4:45. Patronize The Advertisers Vikings Defeat Ft. Lewis By Score of 25-6 Dzurich, Boggess, Play Fast Game Against Fort Lewis Team In Last Game A hard-hitting Viking squad de-score of 25-6 at Saturday night's feated the Fort Lewis eleven by a football game. The Vikings played a bang-up game and showed wonderful team work and passing. They proved their ability to smash through a line of men who outweighed them practically 10 pounds to the man. The first touchdown was made by Albert Gall, with Guglomo and Dzurich running interference. For the second touchdown, Dzurich received the ball, faded back and made a swift pass to Guglomo who carried the ball over the line. The Normal team played spectacular aerial football at times.

He said he had sold a number of his films to Paramount and Pathe moving picture corporations when times were better. Next summer, Pillsbury plans to return to the islands of the southi seas and continue his studying- of undersea plant life. He estimates the total film used in his experiments and explorations at over a million feet. o Phifer, Former Normal Student, at University The week-end visit of Dr. and Mrs. Lyman D. Phifer at the home of Miss Leona Sundquist brought to the attention of this college a success story in science. In former times, Dr. Phifer was a student at this school and an assistant in the Science department. Then he transferred to the University of Washington and earned his master's and his doctor's degree. Now he is Assistant Director of the Oceanographical Laboriatories of the University of Washington. In addition he is an eminent authority on Phytoplanktons, the minute organ-asm upon which fish feed. With Mrs. Beryl Bruff as toast-mistress and committee chairman, an alumni luncheon was held at the Hotel Leopold on Tuesday. About thirty of the Normal faculty and 23 alumni attended. E. W. Campbell, who is president of the Washington Education Association and superintendent of the Renton city schools gave the principal address on "Character Education". P. M. Brock, who is the Skagit county superintendent of schools, gave a speech on behalf of the Normal alumni. Victor Hoppe of the Speech department spoke as a representative of the Normal faculty. Campbell concluded his speech with a story about Mr. Wil-iis Sutton, superintendent of schools at Atlanta, Georgia. When Mr. Sutton first went to college, his father wrote him a 103-page letter. In this letter he outlined very fully eight different professions that his son might enter, among them being the doctor, lawyer, minister, architect, and undertaker. He concluded this miniature thesis by saying that he hoped his son would think them over very carefully and decide. After tearing his hair for about a week, he answered his father in a letter as follows: "Dear Dad.— I'm going to , become a teacher, cause then I can do them all". o— Drafting Class Popular, Techniques of Drafting, And Engineering Shown "The Industrial Arts drafting class is one of the largest the Normal school has ever had", says H. E. Ruckmick, instructor. The class consists of fourteen students. The purpose of the subjects is to train prospective engineers. At the present time the class is studying the various techniques of drafting plans for machine parts, and electrical layouts for wiring. In the latter part of the term, the class will be studying blue prints. Mr. Ruckmick explains a blue print as "the engineer's language" The students must learn to conceive ideas for a building and then be able to interpret their thoughts by the means of a blue print drawing. o If this continues, frost-bitten hands, ears, and feet will be the predominant feature of "day after the game" enthusiasm. The teacher might object if most of the class had lost its voice cheering that end run, but no one has ever denied that it was worth cheering for. But it was a swell game! And tomorrow night we'll be out there with ear muffs and mittens, cheering for the team. See you there! Girls of Davis Hall Entertain Friends at Halloween Party; .

WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, December 16, 1932 -* Normalite # * # * • TEACHERS EASY EDUCATION HARD EDUCATION By Pat Allan. "As long as artists, thinkers, di- , rectors live in isolation, absorbed in special ties and indifferent to the main stream, they fall short of the university that gives full stature to genius." So says Walter Pater. I wonder if that may not be applied to education. Of course teachers are not generally conceded to be blessed with the best wishes of the gods along the lines of genius, but is a teacher, even a good one who is "absorbed in specialties," living in a world of his own creation? Can we, as teachers, expect to teach others to take the goodness from the badness in life without being acquainted with that goodness —and that badness—ourselves? Perhaps teachers forget in their absorption in the small cross-section of life in their classrooms that life is four dimensional, and has many little protuberances here and there which must be explored to fully understand it. W.S.N.S. W E A AS FAVORING SALES TAX AT C H I N Educational Association Passes a (Resolution in Favor of a Law Granting Normal Degree. HOPPER REPORTS CONFERENCE Another striking criticism of the American educational system is that it is too easy. "Almost anyone can g©.to._colIege a -certain -number of years and get a degree," say the critics. ....The degree, consequently, means nothing. Outstanding ability gets no better a grade of sheepskin than mediocrity. We see an impressive degree registered behind a teacher's name. Does it mean that he has been capable enough to see things in a newer, truer way, that he is able to offer us something enabling us to get a new slant on things, to bring to us new experiences, to lift us somewhere beyond where we now are, or does it mean that he has succeeded in "getting by" at some college, coached by his fraternity brothers? We have no way of finding out but to sign up for a course from him... And in so doing,.we take a chance of wasting three months' work in merely trying to "get by" ourselves while we might have been spending that time in getting new ideas, new visions and new inspirations from men who are capable of giving them to us. W.S.N.S. In defense of the present system, some ask, "But should the great pari of the people, the common people, be sacrificed to the advancement of the few? Should a man start college full of hopes and ambitions only to find after a year's work that he is incapable of going further? W.S.N.S. It seems that either mediocrity, the average, must be sacrificed to genius, or genius must be sacrificed to mediocrity. Should the fittest survive in the Great Quest or should they be allowed to go ahead so far as they desire with no material advancement to themselves, so that college degrees may be conferred upon men and women who should be working in factories and on farms? -W.S.N.S.- The question as to whether all these years of movement toward universal education in America have been Worth while, is being brought before our attention gradually, but steadily. As indispensable members of this system, we will some day, perhaps, be called upon to decide it. Perhaps it would be jjpdl to start thinkingaboittiVhow^ The Washington Education association has gone on record in favor of a general state sales tax at the meeting held in Tacoma, November 25 and 26. This information was conveyed to the Faculty Forum on Tuesday afternoon, December 6, by Miss Elizabeth M. Hopper, delegate from the local unit of the W. E. A. Degree Bill Favored Resolutions favoring legislation giving state Normal schools the right to grant a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education and to abolish the life diploma after September, 1933, were passed. President C. H. Fisher said Miss Hopper's report was "one of the finest and most comprehensive I have ever listened to." Hargreaves Elected R. T. Hargreaves, president of the Cheney Normal, has been elected to fill President Fisher's place on. the board of directors of the association representing higher institutions of learning. President Fisher has served two 2-year terms which is the constitutional limit for a member. One hundred and thirty members elected by local units all over the state form the W. E. A. The Faculty "Forum is the Normal school unit. Viking Policies Explained Following the forum the regular faculty meeting was held. Hollis J. Stoddard, editor, Roger Chapman, business manager, and Melvin Allan, editor-elect of the Northwest Viking, explained editorial and financial policies of the Viking. They asked for faculty co-operation. According to President Fisher the Viking leaders "were well received and made a very favorable impression." STUDENTSUFFERS LOSS OF DIAMOND A diamond ring belonging to Catherine Moss, Normal student, mysteriously disappeared on Saturday from the washroom of the Normal school. Miss Moss removed it while washing her hands and it was taken while her attention was distracted for a few minutes. The ring is valued at $100 and was a graduation gift from her sister. The authorities are endeavoring to solve the mystery but to date there have been no developments. o Laddie Boy Gray Plays As Mozart Uniqueness and finish characterizing their program, Laddie/ Gray, young boy pianist, and Estelle Gray- Lhevinne, violinist, played in assembly, Monday, Dec. 12. After Mrs. Gray-Lhevinne had played one group of classical numbers she stated, "Laddie will give his first group of numbers costumed as the boy Mozart. We are not introducing any prodigy, merely showing you a picture of Mozart on his first appearance in court." The costumed Laddie then played one of that composer's minuets. He played with a confident touch which produced a very good tone. Laddie Plays Bach His next numbers which he played "as himself'' were compositions by Bach, Hadyn and Beethoven. These were all cordially received. Then after several more,classics, proceeded by a story about each, the mother played four pieces of her own composition, reciting the original words before playing them. STODDARD RESIGNS; ALLAN IS CHOSEN PUBLICATION EDITOR Attention, Student Workers! Faculty Grade Ruling Discussed In Article Clubs to Sponsor Weekly Program Affording an interesting outlet for club activities, adding importance to clubs, and furnishing information for the community as a whole will be the advantages of the new radio broadcast schedule in which the various school organza-tions will present a series of programs. This will go into effect after January 1. The International Relations club will sponsor the first of these -and thereafter each Friday evening the broadcast will be handled by one of the school clubs. Kenneth Bernet, acting as chairman, and Joseph Atkinson, assisting, are making arrangements for the International Relations program, which will probably consist of music, a talk on the purpose of the club, and a discussion of some current international subject. gt; o EDGAR AT U. OF W. Some discussion has arisen over the faculty ruling that makes it necessary for job-holding students to attain a grade average of 2.4. To clarify the problem the Viking prints the following: Twelve Hours Work Required Employees must be registered for 12 hours and must have a grade average for all preceding work of 2.4. (Old students are given the advantage of using either this quarter's grades or their past averages). New students, to be eligible job holders, must have a B- aptitude and be registered for twelve hours. Fourth year students must have an even three-point score. Limit Set on Earnings The maximum amount a student is allowed to earn during three quarters' employment in school service is $200, unless he is holding a specialized position. All dissatisfied students who feel their cases deserve additional consideration may appeal to the Faculty Scholarship committee. Helen Edgar, who attended the Bellingham Normal last year is now enrolled as a student at the University of Washington. While here she was house president of Eden's Hall and was an outstanding student. ORCHESTRA COURSE GIVEN FOR CREDIT A course in orchestra practise will be available to all students during the winter quarter. It will meet two periods a week from 7 to 8:30 o'clock on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Credit for the course will be. on the usual ratio of three hours work for one hour, credit. John Roy Williams, well-known instructor of music, who is leading the orchestra of. Fairhaven and Whatcom high schools, has been chosen as the instructor. President C. H. Fisher says, "If the orchestra makes good it will take part on the Normal school program broadcast over station KVOS." This course is an experiment. It has never been offered to the students on a regular plan before. If made a success there is no doubt but what it will be listed in the regularly in the catalogue. RADIO OFFERS FULL VACATION PROGRAM Victor H. Hoppe announces that the radio broadcast will continue during the holidays. The following schedule for the period between quarters is.offered: Wednesday, Dec. 21, Miss Nora B. Cummins, "Looking at a Troubled World"; Friday, Dec. 23, Mr. Hoppe, Christmas Carol", by Dickens; Wednesday, Dec. 28, Mr. H. C.

Mr.' James is a graduate of Bellingham Normal and has been with a California stock company for a year. Elizabeth Squire, soloist, will sing on the last program. I. R. C. Will Broadcast The International Relations club will present the first club broadcast immediately after Christmas. This will mark the beginning of a series of such efforts by various clubs of the school. o Miss May Mead, the school nurse, has been in Seattle during the past week attending the state registration of nurses. Marian Beckley, Ben Lundberg and Art Pearson have been in the school hospital during the. past week on account of flu.

MR. ALLAN HAS efficiently, handled his department of the paper and is well qualified to handle his new duties. WITH AN EXPERIENCED and capable staff working with him, he should and will prepare for the students and administration a newspaper worthy oi their support. , As one of its New Year's resolutions, the Viking will "go on record" as positively against false press reports. The Viking office has been unfortunate enough to believe that some of these false reports were bona fide press notices only to find later they were merely personal satisfiers of a high-powered ego. Our faculty committee, as well as the Viking, no doubt has been misled at timesbypaddedpressreports. E DENS HALL CAROLS NJOYED BY MANY AN EXPRESSION OF congratulations and thanks is extended the girls of Edens Hall for their fine display of Christmas spirit during the past week. They are probably the only group on the campus who have spread the good cheer of the Yuletide season through the medium of carols. Their singing early last Sunday morning will not soon be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to hear their songs. f HEIR PROGRAM SUNDAY evening was also very commendable. —o STUDENTS URGED TO EE HOOP GAMES INTENSE INTEREST IS being shown in the intra-mural basketball league this year. A very interesting schedule has been arranged and nine teams are waging their battles in the little gym. STUDENTS ARE BEGINNING to realize that these games have just as much zip and fire as the regular varsity games and ar coming out for them in a big way. EVERYONE IS URGED to attend these games as they are "do or die' affairs and the spectator is sure of getting an eye-full of rip-snorting, high-powered ball during the course of the games. Games are played Monday night, and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. ART OSGOOD ATTENDS 4H CONVENTION, HELD IN CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 24 Arthur Osgood was one of the Washington boys chosen by the4H clubs to represent them at the national convention at Chicago, November 24 to 30. The chief purpose of the trip was to attend the livestock show. There were about fifteen hundred 4H club members at the convention. Washington sent thirty-five delegates, chosen because of the merit of their past work in the clubs. Arthur was a member of the winning live-stock judging team at Portland last spring. He hails from Lynden and is a sophomore at Normal. Good Time had by all He reports that a "good time was had by all" the delegates at the convention. They were entertained by some of the meat packing companies who proved to be good hosts, as they gave many banquets and offered some wonderful lectures . Art says he enjoyed the trip thru the world fair buildings, which are being erected at the present time. The delegates visited most of the well known museums, and places of interest in the city. He returned to school on December 5. Joseph Normalite Explores College * * * * **** DOESN'T CONSUME THE BITA PIE * * * * * ***** Hovels Known as Fraternity Houses • I have never gone to college, but it was my pleasure to visit some friends who were attending one. • My friends lived in the Eata Bita •Pie Fraternity. I was met at the train and escorted to the Frat House. When we entered, a group of young maniacs was sprawled out all over the parlor, and they were chanting something that went like this: .It wasn't the rum that killed old Joe Nor Gin that took his breath It was just a fly that flew down his •throat And tickled him to death. After the din subsided, I was introduced around. I met all the boys except one, he was seated alone in a corner holding his head and looking very sad. "That man is the most unlucky guy on the campus," whispered my host. "How come?" I asked. "Because," said my- host, "he gargled Listerine for three months and then found out he was unpopular anyway." Then I was shown the lovely rugs in the club room. They were hooked rugs; My host said they hooked them from the Kappa House. . Being then a student in Normal school, I felt I might begin an intellectual conversation by speaking of • something in literature, so I asked ;bne of the; fellows: ; , • ; ' •v "Have you read Carjyle's "Essay on;Biirns?^ and- he replied "No, you • / • : - ' • see I'm not a medical student." Then I asked him if he liked poetry and he said he did. So I asked him what kind he liked, and he answered, "Rhode Island Reds." I could easily see that I was getting nowhere fast, so asked him if he smoked. He turned upon me with the most injured air and asked, "Do I look like a fireplace?" Allen Waters and Lester Wolfely have been confined to their homes by the prevailing flu epidemic. John Beaton, Wilburn Whipple and Leora Graham have returned after absences due to illness. wwwwwwwwwwww Birthdays One of the fellows was singing "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi'. Feeling that I should say something, I addressed my droll friend again. I said, "My, he certainly sings beautifully." No answer so I tried again, "Do you know," I said "one of my life's greatest ambitions is to sing in public." Looking off into space he rejoined, "Why don't you join the Salvation Army?" One can hear conversation of this nature almost everywhere on a college campus. I overheard a couple of girls on the library steps -r- the conversation ran something like this: "Hello Chris! Why my dear, one of your cheeks is brighter than the other—whatsa matter, did you put your rouge on in the dark?" "No, you see it's this way, I sleep on the dull side; the other1 side is exposed to the night air, that's why it is brighter." I certainly was disappointed with the much raved about college life, so that is why I returned to our dear old Normai School' CAMPUS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL * * * * * INA KIRKMAN News stories of the varied program of juvenile assemblies during fall quarter have been written for the Junior Viking by the 7th grade. These stories—very worthy "press stuff"—might be called composites, as few are the work of any one pupil. The best-worded and most interesting sentences from individual accounts have been selected and well woven together by class committees. "The unusual taken at once" is good newspaper psychology. Timely topics, from October weather to Christmas window shopping, have( been recent subjects for'other stories of the 7th graders. The writers have aimed for wider vocabulary and clear word pictures. Two examples prove the marksmanship has been good: Our October Storm Storm warnings had been flashing along the coast for days and now the storm had come. A great sombre cloud was creeping slowly and surely out of the west. The storm came with breath-taking suddenness which startled everyone.

An exchange of gifts was made after which games and refreshments were enjoyed. The evening of holiday merriment was closed by the singing of Christmas carols. Those in attendance were: Mrs. Enger, May and Mabel Enger, Esther Enger, Lois Reynolds, Ruth Buckingham, Thelma and Alice Thompson, and Thelma Finely. o Editorial Council to Put Out Viking Edens Hall Gives Christmas Dinner Roast turkey with all the trimmings, a musical program, Christmas decorations, and candlelight, were features of the annual Edens Hall Christmas dinner held last Wednesday at six o'clock in the dining room. Doris Jurgenson was chairman of decorations, assisted by Margaret Jorgenson, Gretchen Minnear, and Grace Parsons, Vaughn Howell, Florence Haney, Florence Ford and Gwen Eder. Betty Jock was general program chairman. o Nelson Resigns as Council President , Coffee and doughnuts were served bright and early last Sunday morning to a drowsy bunch of Edens hall sophomores who were about to start out on their annual carolling trek to the homes of the faculty. At 5:30 a. m. after the food was gone and the candles had given out the girls carrolled down the halls and out into the cold moonlit morning. The girls carrolled down High and up Garden and still further up Forest stopping to sing at homes where a candle stood in the window. Dean W. J. Marquis supplied the singers with two large trays of cookies for which they were very grateful. A little girl sat high in one window and listened delightedly to the old familiar strains of "Silent Night." At the home of Miss Irene M. Elliot and Miss Leona Sundquist the singers were invited in out of the cold to a tempting treat. When the girls returned to the dormitory the freshmen had breakfast waiting for them. The Christmas theme for decorations was expressed in candles and holly. A jolly Santa Claus gave out presents to all the sophomores and warned them to be better next year or he wouldn't be so lenient.

S. N. S. when Head Coach Red Reese of Cheney Normal placed them on his well selected trinomial all-star aggregation for 1932. His-second squad included, Boxey Flint, stellar end; "Papa" Beaton, defensive half, and "Swede" Smith, dependable kicker in the other halfback post. Coach Reese quotes Sinko as being, "the best running back in the league, and could be used at the safety job. He was always a threat and proved dangerous any time he got by the line of scrimmage." Playing his second year for the Viking forces Sinko deserves plenty of credit for his aggressive spirit on the field and about school. Incidentally, he scored the only touchdown made by the locals this season, when he scored against the Cheney Savages in the Homecoming melee, here. Sulkosky Rated High Junior Sulkosky the spark plug of the forward wall was chosen along with Buffaro of Ellensburg as the two hardest hitting, most accurate linesmen in the conference, to fill the guard positions. Sulkosky, coming from C. P. S., where he played in 1931, stands out among the leaders developed by Coaches Carver and Gunn especially in his defensive play. Besides being a plenty tough guard, Ray always gave the boys a good word before each play and was outstanding in keeping up the morale of the squad. Flint, Beaton, Smith Flint played his second year for Bellingham this season and furnished, plenty of punishment for the opposition. Boxey is fast in going down under punts and stopping the receiver and delights in being on the receiving end of a bullet pass from punt formation. Smith and Beaton two careful kickers and reliable ball packers, "were given the halfback positions on the Cheney mentor's second squad, Smith for his punting and Beaton for his effective blocking and kicking. The tri-normal team: Ends—Tilson C; Valdason, E. Tackles—Roundy, C; Crosby, E. Guards—Buffaro, E; Sulkosky, B. Center—Stevens, C. Quarterback—Fuller, E. Halfback—Sinko, B; McNew, C.

Reese, picking the first all-star team of the past season, puts Ray Sulkosky and Walt Sinko on the all-star aggregation with Beaton, Smith and Flint being among the ones given honorable mention. His selection of Sulkosky and Sinko was no surprise, but in the minds of the fans who follow the Vikings through the past season, there is a little doubt in their minds as to the passing up of Comfort, one of the most outstanding football players to perform for Bel-j lingham in many a moon. True, Comfort was not the flashy type of performer but in all fairness it must be said that when Reese passed him up, he passed up one of the best all-around football players to perform in tri-normal play in the last two years. But then again, it must be said, in all fairness to Reese that picking a tri-normal team is no easy job and from one who saw all three teams in action he did a very creditable job, not only from my standpoint but from also that of Head Coach Carver and Assistant Coach Gunn. It looks like Viking Manor in the first half race of the intra-mural league. Johnny Gable has banded together a very fair aggregation this quarter, one which will be hard to beat. In their game with the Night Raiders they showed a brand of teamwork that will be hard to cope with. Nelson Brewer flanked with Lewis in the guard positions check plenty, and any team that can run up points on this pair will have to be plenty good. And don't for a minute pass up this man Denton. He's big and tough, and showed by holding Posy Flowers to four points, that Denton is going to have plenty to say before the end of the race.- Gable is without a doubt the outstanding player on the team if not in the league. Gable is not only an uncanny shot when it comes to swishing the net but can check with the best of them when checking is needed. —i—o o Beginning the first of the year there's going ta be some hot tussles in the old Intra-mural league. First, there is the Relic-Night Raider battle and then the battle of the Century—the Viking Manor- Relic game. This last mix will be one worth seeing as the first half championship will hinge on the outcome. That's if the Night Raiders dont tip over the Relics. Anyway, if you want to see plenty of good basketball just drop out to the little gym the nights these games are played. Down at the University of Washington, it looks like a change in the football coaching situation again. With a shortage of funds necessitating another slash in the athletic budget and with Phelan's attitude toward certain factions of the Alumni, it looks like next fall will find the fiery Irishman in new stamping grounds. With the start of the new quarter, Coach Carver will embark bis Varsity charges on another basketball campaign... The local fans will get the opportunity to see plenty of good basketball as the local schedule calls for games with Cheney, Ellensburg, C. P. S., Yakima Junior College, and with (Pacific Lutheran college of Tacoma... Add to this the schedule of the Junior Varsity in the City league and you have a basketball menu that is hard to beat. o o With a new quarter only two weeks away, the Northwest Viking goes under a new guiding hand in the person of Pat Allan, new editor. In all probability there will be new heads of all departments including sports. I n the past it has been my policy to work in the best interests of the school as a whole. There is a certain faction or group of students in this institution who have made it their policy to pan everyone who has had anything to do with the athletic program of the school including the coaches and yours truly. As a parting shot, I wish to say that if this certain group of Drugstore Coaches would get behind this school and pull for the Vikings, one and all, everyone would get along in a much better fashion. Goodby and Good-luck. The Revellers sparked to take the Doormats for a ride. The game" ended with a score of 31-18. Matheny and Hammett looked good for the winners and Glopin scored high for the losers. With the fast breaking offense the Revelers took the lead early in the game and continued to hold it throughout.

Many fouls were called by Referee Gunn and several left the game by the 4-foul route. Each team had a strong defense and the men who usually led in the scoring were held in check by the guards. Kean, Viking Manor forward, led the scoring for the game with 12 points. Jensen, the Night Raider's Ferndale guard, was the class of the losers with 9 points.

FORMER NORMALITES TRIM JAYVEE TEAM Gable and Sorensen Are High Point Men for Hilltoppers The Normal Jayvees were defeated Tuesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. when they, fell before the strong Union Printing team 32-27, in a hard fought contest which was rough and closer than the score indicates. Game Close The teams checked closely for three quarters; the Printers leading by a couple of points. In the fourth quarter the Printers hit their stride, led by Duncan, forward, who sank many uncanny shots. The Jayvees fought desperately to score but were unsuccessful in their attack. The game was very rough, many fouls being called. Nolte, flashy Jayvee guard, was the first victim to leave the game. Gable, Sorensen Star Gable, center, and Sorensen, forward, were the spark plugs for the Jayvees, both scoring 10 points. They looked good on defense and offense and were the shining lights of the Jayvee's attack. Duncan, forward, for the Printers, walked away with high scoring honors, checking up 16 markers. Loomis, center for the winners, followed, with 11 points. Line-ups: Jayvees, 27 Printers, 38 Harris 0 F Duncan 16 Sorensen 10 F Wallace 4 Gable 10 C Loomis 11 Miles 4 G. Chandler 2 Nolte 0 G.

The shouting exercises vocal cords; the gnashing injures the teeth. --W.S.N.S— In a Week or two the students will be the teachers. If the time they spent analyzing and criticising the technique of instructors brings an improvement in their own—it was not lost. —W.S.N.S— Are the leaves which the trees are now shedding symbolic of grades which fail to pass, or are they merely harbingers of "heavies?" —W.S.N.S— Famous last words: "The library's closing." —W.S.N.S—- Colonel Henry W. Anderson, member of the Wickersham commission, in his separate report on crime said that the ultimate remedy is not to be found in laws "or efforts to suppress normal physical emotion or mental expression, but in a study of the deeper underlying causes for abnormal or anti-social attitudes of conduct; in seeking to remedy or to remove these causes both as to personality and environment and thus to substitute normal or social for abnormal or criminal attitudes.'' —W.S.N.S— All of which makes us wonder what grade the Colonel got when he took Education 101 P —W.S.N.S— Comparing life as lived in a typical Mexican town with that of a typical American town, Stuart Chase, journalist of economics, writes in his recent book, "Mexico:" "Our clothes make us abnormally uncomfortable; our food abnormally constipated; our apartments and our cities abnormally compressed and deafened; our recreations abnormally weary . . . We are cluttered up wth things essentially meaningless, and, being human, we flounder, puzzled and perplexed, trying to find the values which will give meaning back to life. Tepoztlan (the Mexican town) has never lost these values. It works, plays, worships, attires itself, composes its dwellings in the normal rhythm of homo sapiens upon this planet, without abnormal effort, without waste. It knows what life is for, because every move it makes contributes to a legitimate function of living." —W.S.N.S— After all, what's life but— A few moments—big or small; A few mem'ries to recall. A few joys, a few pains; A few losses, a few gains. A few friends—tried and true; . A few loves—old or new. A few smiles, a few tears; A few hopes, a few fears; A few dreams, a few years— And then, A few feet of pine or fir, A few bones that do not stir. —W.S.N.S— Things we'll miss: An 8 o'clock class. "Ma" More's cooking. The library. Half pints of ice cream. Assemblies. The atmosphere in Room 205— it's different. —W.S.N. - Something to look forward to: Third year leaching. --W.S,N,S— Before affixing "Thirty" for the but time, we wish you the beet of tack In the months tocome. 'QM LITTLE SYMPHONY IS MAIN FEATURE MORNING ASSEMBLY CITY MUSICIANS ENTERTAIN STUDENTS AS SUMMER PROGRAM LIST IS COMPLETED. ACCOUNTANT ON LEAVE BACK IN BELLINGHAM ALSO EXERCISES The main feature of this morning's assembly was the concert by the Bellingham Little Symphony orchestra. Fitting Climax Judging by the way the audience received it, this program, the last one of the term, was a fitting cli^ max to the summer assemblies. The Bellingham Little Symphony orchestra consists of about forty pieces, and is made up of Normal students, town people, and nine members of the Seattle Symphony orchestra. Harold 8. Smith, head of the Nofmai school Music department, is the conductor. The program"follows: Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusti-cana" Mascagni Coronation March from "The Prophet" .'- Meyerbeer Algerian Suite Saint-Saens Evening Reverie . 4 French Military March Indian Lament ....Dvorak Blue Danube Waltz Strauss' Ballet Music, No. 2, from "Rosamund" Schubert Entr'acte No. 2, from "Rosamunde" Schubert Overture, "Egmont" Beethoven —o— MISS RUBY OHMAN PRESENTS_CONCERT ACCOMPLISHED BY A MEMBER OF THE PLYMOUTH QUARTET. A fitting climax to the excellent assembly entertainments, presented by outside talent, was the concert given by Miss Ruby Ohman in last Tuesday's assembly. She was accompanied by Arville Belstad, who is well known to the Normal students, having been here a number of times with the Plymouth quartet. Widely Known Miss Ohman is recognized, both here and abroad, as a vocalist of real talent and high attainirio~t. As soloist with various symphony orchestras, notably the Los Angeles Philharmonic, she has won praise from the severest critics. Her songs were beautifully interpreted in easy, flawless tones. The group by Charles "Wakefield Cadman was especially well done. Miss Ohman has toured with Mr. Cadman in the South; singing his songs in Indian costume. Her encore was "At Dawning," a well known song composed by him. Seattle Girl Miss Ohman is a Seattle girl, having received her first musical training there. She later studied in New York and Europe. The program was broadcast over KVOS and was as follows: La. Passione Handel Nachtgang Strauss Ariette Vidal Du bist wie eine Blume Schuman Hopak Moussorgsky II - Canoe Song Cadman The Moon Behind the Cottonwood '' _ _ Cadman The Spring Song of the Robin Woman (from the opera "She-wamois") Cadman m At the Well Hageman By a Lonely Forest Pathway:.:.....

Miss Margaret MacKinnon, who for some years acted as an accountant in the business office, is now at her home in Bellingham. She has been spending her year's leave of absence at the Western State Teacher's College in Kalamazoo, Mich., and she expects to return for another year of work there. -^ o — TRUSTEES SELECT FIVE INSTRUCTORS FOWLER WDLL STAY IN EAST; BURNET TO ADVISE VHUNG. Normal school trustees Friday night elected five new instructors. They will take the place of teacb gt; ers who have resigned, and will begin their services with the opening of the fall term, September 28, with the exception of those named for the Normal Training school, which reopens September 8. Those elected are: Ruth E. Spear-in, reference librarian, replacing Esther Stallman, who" is going to Indiana; Ruth A. Burnet, journalism, taking the place of James Car-rell, who resigned for graduate study at Northwestern University, Evan-ston, 111.; Irene Elliott, first grade Training school, who succeeds Ruth Strickland, "granted a leave of absence to study at Teachers' college, Columbia University; Lebjean Boy-ack, third grade Training school, replacing Hah Hall, who is to be married and who will live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Sadie E. Fitzgerald, fourth grade Training school, taking the place of Pearl Merriman, granted a leave of absence to study in Teachers' college, Columbia University:"' '' " V,-.-- Ruth.Spearin won her A. B. degree at Carleton college and took a course in the New York State Library School. Ruth Burnet has an A. B. from the University of Washington. Miss Elliott earned her B. S. and A. M. at Tetchers' college, Columbia University. Leojean Boyack holds the Ph. B. degree from the University of Chicago. She studied also at Teachers' college, Columbia University. Miss Fitzgerald won her B. S. and A. M. at Teachers' college, Columbia University.

TWO ABSENT (Continued on Page Three) o Review of Hikes For Season Show Success Due to Co-operation "The summer recreational program has been an unusually successful one, because of the splendid co-operation of all members of the committee and of the students who participated," is the statement of Mr. E. A. Bond, chairman of the recreation committee. The first hike of the summer was made on Saturday, June 20, when a party climbed Lookout Mountain. The day was evidently considered pleaisant, as sixty students participated in the second event, an evening hike to Dead Man's Point by way of Natural Dry Dock, ending with a salmon bake at that point. The Skyline Ridge climb, Saturday, June 27, was enjoyable despite the fog, rain, and hail which attended it. The Tuesday evening following this, Chuckanut Mountain was scaled, and an excellent view of points of interest was permitted by the clear weather. July 4, 5, and 6 were spent on Orcas Island—a very leisurely and interesting trip, as the islands show many forms of plant life and geological formations not common to the mainland. Swimming there was a doubtful pleasure, however, owing to the coldness of the water, but the ensuing hike to Toad Lake made up Although there was little business to come before the Board of Control at its meeting Wednesday afternoon, the session developed into a lengthy affair of running about the school and securing opinions of members of committees and making adjustments with them so that a Rec hour could be given the students last night. E. A. Bond and Herbert Ruckmick were both absent from the meeting. After finally determining the "advisability" of having the dance, it was arranged to start it at seven o'clock and continue for an hour and a half. Cox Reports Nellie Cox turned in a report on the Blue Books, to be put out for this Fall's entry of students. This was the last meeting for the two Summer quarter representatives, Zeke McClurken and Edwin Hunnicutt. Both will be out teaching again, and ane election will be held at the first of the quarter. o- REGRET EXPRESSED AT ALUMNA DEATH It is with regret that many faculty members and students of the school learn of the death of Nellie May Tegland, a graduate of the Normal in 1914.. The fact that Miss Tegland had just won her degree as Doctor of Philosophy at the University of California makes her death especially regretable. Her thesis, "The Gastrop Genus Galeo-dea in the Oligocene of Washington," has recently been published, and a copy of it was presented this week to the library. Miss Tegland was born in Genesee, Idaho, coming to Washington with her parents, and graduated from the Pacific Lutheran academy in 1906. After several years of teaching, she came to Bellingham Normal and earned her certificate here. In 1922 she received the degree of bachelor of arts from the University of Washington, and in 1924, the degree of master of science. After three years of high school teaching, she went to the University of California as assistant to Dr. Clark, where she carried on special research work, culminating in the acquisition of her doctor's degree. The spirit and joy which Miss Tegland showed in her scholastic work ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 August 21 - Page 2 ---------- W A S H I N G T O N S T ^ ^ l ^ O R N ^ NOR: Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Founded 1899 m Published evfery Friday except during the month of September, by the Aasaeiatad Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingham.

Address all communications, other than news items, to the Business Manager of the Northwest Viking, Bellingham, Washington BOB WALTERS.... JACK GREAVES ...Editor .Business Manager CHEAPER ROOMS One of the faculty members went into conference with us this week, and brought up the problem of charges for rooms for students in the nearby halls and houses. This person has recently come into contact with the problems of men planning on going to school here next fall, either as a continuance or for the first time. He found that practically all of them are faced with weighty financial problems, and are coming here at that time with a few dollars in their pockets and hopes of being able to stick it out. All over town, it was brought out, rents have dropped way down, but prices on rooms for Normal students have stayed at the same figure used as a standard for years. This means that, from a comparative angle, students are paying more for their lodging than they have been in the past, which is working in an opposite direction to the general tendencies of the time. We hesitated to bring up the matter, because we are not aware of the conditions as they exist with the various owners, nor do we know the lowest figure possible for them to operate on in conjunction with the size of enrollment. There is one factor that strongly comes to the foreground. With rentals, along with other items, on the downward trend, there is no apparent reason for keeping prices in the air for Normal students. We do not state outright that these rents should be reduced, but we do strongly advocate an investigation of the matter by the proper authorities, so that some conclusion can be drawn. It is quite evident that the issue will be a big one next fall. The foundation has already been layed for it, and it has been developed in a remarkably short space of time. We forecast that it will reach a ultimate peak during the first few weeks of the Fall quarter. It is a just request, on the part of the students, that the matter be looked into, for it is, in our mind, just to expect that these prices will be reduced. We suggest that the new editor of the Viking make a point of furthering the cause until it can be determined how much the students have a right ot ask for in this connection. There is a slight bit of restlessness as various groups bring up the problem and it looks as if they will back such a movement in a slightly one-sided manner; but we do not feel that it is merely a bombastic reaction of the "mob.* There is cause for dissatisfaction from the students' standpoint. They have been cramped on their incomes. "What are you going to do when the rent comes around?" I seem to have heard someone sing that song once, and, unless my prediction is all wrong, it is soon to be revised. Revised in a big way, too, by the students who are attending Normal and rooming at outside houses. — Unless the people who rent their rooms to students lower the cost of the rent per month, they are going to be faced with a houseful of empty rooms, while their former tenants pool their interests and go in for entire houses, a plan which is fast, gaining in popularity among those who attend Normal. J. M. o ASSEMBLIES The following appeared in the Bellingham Herald for Sunday, August 16: Thousands of Bellingham citizens are not aware that the students of the Bellingham Normal school, partly through their own efforts, partly through the generosity of well wishers, have acquired places for outdoor recreation that are certain to become more valuable as the country is further developed and property prices continue to mount. The school authorities, of course, have made ample provision for recreation for both men and women throughout the year, attention being given particularly to both indoor and outdoor sports. But the students have the satisfaction that goes with the possession of property in their own name. The Students' association owns a 94- acre tract, with a quarter of a mile of valuable waterfront, at Normal-stad, on Lake Whatcom, where swimming and other outdoor recreation may be enjoyed. The association also owns, jointly with the Mount Baker club, Kulshan Cabin, equipped for accommodating eighty persons. It is located in the Mount Baker district and is popular as a rest hut for the climb to the summit of Baker. The Women's Athletic association maintains Viqueen lodge on a ten-acre tract on Sinclair Island, which is increasing in popularity for week-end outings. Few schools in the country offer their students better advantages for outdoor recreation. Puget Sound, famed for the mildness of its climate, is a veritable playground throughout the year. The Normal school does not advertise itself as an institution where the student's work is all play,vbut its recreational facilities are a factor in the high standing it enjoys among institutions of its kind in the United States. Police were called to dampen the riotous atmosphere at a recent ball game here in Bellingham. What wouldn't local coaches give for a .carload of that enthusiasm next fall? SO LONG We are putting out the final issue for the summer quarter today. A quarter that marks our fourth as editor, and also the number of quarters allotted to us by the Board of Control. We have been on top of the world with our, feet on the editorial desk, and hate to think of leaving it, although we will still be connected with the paper. This time from the business manager's viewpoint. We have many people to thank for considerations extended us from time to time, and as they are too numerous to mention, we pass out a generalized bit of thinks. We have also been asked to deliver thanks to The Viking's patronage from Jack Greaves, business manager for the last three quarters, who will not be in school next quarter. We have given the school a paper that has not fallen below previous standards, and we are certain that the coming regime will do at least as much, and probably better. We have no way of presenting Roger Chapman in person, but we assure everyone that he will do a real job of editing. He will probably bring a few new ideas that will be refreshing after four quarters of papers under the same editorial guidance. We wish him luck with his work. To one that deserves heaps of praise we mildly send our appreciation —James Carrell. Mr. Carrell took over the advisory duties in the absence of Herbert Fowler, and was always backing the paper. He has not been here this summer ^ but his work was carried on diligently by Dr. Earl Wells, guest teacher from Oregon State college. , As for Ruth Burnett, who will become adviser this,fall, we are sure that she will continue to enjoy the'work here, a. taste of which she has had before. .. We were happy to see the "honorary" "W" pin .presented to Carrell this.morning by the Board of Control, and hope that he.always remembers The Viking on its "Way to press/' . :^ J l V So long.; everybody, . ^ / e have reached.the end of our editorial cpl-ums. Probably some will add "finally." Attendance in assemblies during the past quarter has been deplorable considering the cultural and informational values the entertainments and lectures offered the student body, yet they who have attended assemblies have done so of then-own free will, were in a receptive mood, and have gone to their lunch feeling—in most instances—that the hour was well spent. Compulsory attendance might have filled every seat, but the audience would have been in a less receptive and responsive mood. The restlessness of the malcontents would have distracted the attention of students who might otherwise have enjoyed the program. It is impossible to legislate morals, and it is doubtful if an appreciation of cultural values necessarily follows from the compulsory exposure thereto. M. S. CO-OPERATION Co-operation! What is it? It might be termed as that infinite quality which keeps any institution going. At any rate, it is perfectly certain that without it any institution would hardly be worth attending. In a few weeks the Normal boys will start turning out for football! They will work to develop a good team with which they can represent the Normal school. The chances seem pretty good this year, and they'll need all the support that can be given! Without co-operation there is no interest, no fightng, and, in short, there is no real game! It is practically necessary, ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 August 21 - Page 3 ---------- |pM^S-SSiP#^|#K8iS^vW-';'^ 1 % '?: J P ' l ,. ii?M- M^Si^0M ^ WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL 3CH OOL. BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON W W W W W ^ W A V W W W Key to Pitcher's Box ftfUWWWWWWWWWWWi Lou Gehrig has played oyer 1,000 consecutive games for the Yankee baseball team. If you don't think -that a record like that is hard to make, count up how many consecutive days you have gone to all your classes. Coach Bill Reese, of the Cheney Savages, is lining up his football season with the prospect of having eleven lettermen back in the lineup. Not that we are ready to concede a victory to them when the Vikings go over there, yet we must admit that after the showing they made last year, eleven of the same players is nothing to take in a Cum Granis Saltis manner. News articles more or less drive at the fact that now that there is no Bobbie Jones in the amateur ranks it is hard to tell who will win. So much time has been spent looking Bobbie over during the past few years that little attention was directed toward the others. Anyway, it is apparent that we will have a new amateur champ since Jones obligingly stepped from the ranks. Someone quite playfully placed Lyle Summers' name at the bottom of the tennis ladder, and in the meantime The Viking carried a story of his startling crash from the top to the bottom rung. Things were righted again, though, so we are carrying a story on his sudden climb this week. It isn't every athlete that can stage a comeback like that one. Football weather is creeping into the air at night already. It's getting easy to dream of the old grandstand and one of the Waldo "lake" days. Bellingham was all set for a coast championship prize fight held at Battersby field last night. Personally we couldn't let that disturb a Rec hour program.- Mel Hein, all-American center from State college, is to marry in Spokane before he goes East to play pro football. Now watch him go. —o— Jimmy Phelan, University of Washington coach, lets out the news that he personally thinks that the final race will" be between two of the California institutions.

Local Tennis Team Defeats Team From Olympic Tennis Club (Continued from Page One) Kinnon, accountant, who is studying and traveling. Her place will be filled by J. S. Buchanan. Authority was given to make repairs and to call for bids for painting the outside, of the main building and Edens hall. President C. H. Fisher, Chairman W. Dl Kirkpatrick, and Trustees Walter B. Whitcomb and Noah Shakespeare (Everett), attended the meeting. . President Fisher reported yesterday a summer enrollment of 1,047, which is greater than last year. The summer term ends August 21. Mr. H. E.

The locals walked away with four singles and two doubles matches, and avenged a defeat at the hands of the Seattleites. here last week. In the feature match of the day, Captain Johnny Nau, of the Olympics, again repeated his victory of last week by eliminating Myer Thai,, local flash, in a brilliant two-set match, 6-2, 6-3. The match, easily the outstanding tilt of the day, was replete with thrills from start to finish. Thai rose to great heights against; Nau, but the Seattle star was impregnable. His forehand whipped the sidelines with a dazzling speed arid Thai's remarkable recoveries kept the crowd on edge until the final point was played. Great Tennis Willard Houghton, local star and former city junior champ, extended Zac Kolbach to three stiff sets before succumbing 9-7, 8-10, 6-4. Houghton forced the former Seattle playground champ at every opening, and it was Kolbach's greater experience, and remarkable court generalship that accounted for the deciding points, but not before Houghton had placed his last ounce of energy in an effort to return the ball. Joe Hratz started the locals on their winning streak when he beat- Bert Axman 5-7, 6-2, 6-0. Uphill Victory Showing the same dogged determination that accounted for his victory over Leroy Kelley last week, Hratz caught his adversary unawares and staged an uphill battle to win. In the fourth match Bob Fisher defeated C. Hatfield 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, and Larry Carr defeated Stan Ross 0-6„ 6-3, 6-2. Paul Grimes cinched the singles for the locals with a win over Ray MacComber, 6-3, 6-1. In the doubles, Thai and Fisher lost to Nau and McKinney, 6-3, 7-9, 6-3, in a brilliant three-set tussle. . Houghton and Hratz evened the score by defeating Axman and Stevens,. 6-3, 6-4, and Grimes and Carr defeated Ross arid MacComber 6-3, 6-1. .This victory definitely placed the localites in a position with other leading clubs of the Northwest.

As a fowl, snipe surpasses any other in its extreme versatility. When served with fillet of spinach, it is especially paltable." The above is a statement issued by one of the greatest experts on snipe life from tree to table that the Normal has ever known. Because of a slight twitching of his right ear, the speaker prefers to remain unknown. Everyone has at one time in his life desired to be a successful snipe hunter. Knowing this, an endeavor has been made to illuminate the minds of t h e average lover of the sport, as to its niceties. The best time to catch the birds is when the night is dark, and the calls of the ^mother birds to their little ones are coming from the north. A bit about those calls'." They are ordinarily very-soft and sentimental in sound, but once a year when the moon is a great deal bluer than at other times, the calls are loud and unpleasant to the ears, resulting in their being noticed by all lovers of the rod and reel. An enthusiastic hunter usually grabs for the nearest bag or sack, and rushes to the vicinity of t he call. Sometimes a group of the sportsmen will go out together and, while all but one of the men circle about the region, drawing nearer and hearer to the part of t he woods from which the call issued, the other member of the hunting expedition— usually the bravest^—will perch on the stump, holding the sack open so the snipe may easily blunder into it. Many times the hunts have lasted through an entire night. : We were almost knocked out of our chair yesterday. Picked up a paper with the glaring type asking us "Why Do People Get Gray Headed?"

Now that they send the grades home at the end of the quarter, lots of us have to go home to attend the big bawl. Many a boy is trying to locate the girl that listed his shining quality in the "Ideal Man" survey pubr lished last week.

The genus found in this region is quite different from the ordinary garden variety, having long and tapering legs, and a soft brown fur quite like that of t he porcupine. The eyes are always phosphorescent, enabling the bird to see objects clearly in the dark." This bit of information was also divulged by the afore-mentioned hunter. It is a well-known fact that, since the advent of the threshing machine in eastern Washington, almost no snipes have been found there, having all migrated to the. western side of the mountains. Bellingham has been especially favored with large flocks of the birds. Their favorite nesting place is on Sunset Heights, not a great distance from the Normal, and therefore, on dark moonless nights, crowds of people are to be seen making their various ways over hill and dale, answering the call of t h e elusive snipe. gigned or mentioned.

PHOOEY! PREDICTIONS FULFILLED "SNiynilZATION'' Roger Chapman. J Al Capone is warned that if he doesnt quit giving short measure when selling beer, the law will be down on him. And here I have (always heard that there was honor even among crooks. -W.S.N.S. - The wisest words that - Charles Chaplin could speak were reported from, frim by a newshound in Prance, last week. Said Chaplin: .."Patriotism is the greatest insanity the world has ever suffered. I've been all over Europe in the past few months. Patriotism is rampant everywhere and what is going to be the result? Another war." Patriotism is certainly a curse, whether in an autocracy or in a democracy. If when the United States had talked war, enough sensible persons had stopped to exercise their native common sense we would have avoided the calamity of the World War. And still certain societies urge "compulsory military training" and "national preparedness" all in the cause of "patriotism" or "wholesale murder." W.S.N.S. Solicitious individual asked a young man the other day if he held any student office, and she got the reply, "No, but I run with the best of people.'' W.S.N.S.- The death of David Belasco, last week, remind me of a list of predictions I had clipped from a paper near the first of the year. They Were made by a minister in the spiritualist church and Belasco was among such prominent persons as John D. Rockefeller, Marie Dressier, Von Hindenberg, and Premier Mussolini, all of whom were to die during the year. Some of the minor predictions such as communistic disturbances in China, and an abundance of rain, have qso been fulfilled. The forecaster says a United States senator will lose his mental balance, but adds, "There will be little publicity connected with it." Perhaps it wont even be noticed. ——W.S.N.S.

Mrs.. Sarojini Naidu, Indian political leader and perhaps the most gifted literary woman in the Orient, is of a very religious nature and does not confine herself to any one belief, but has faith in them all. When praying she addresses Brahma, Buddah, God of the Parsees, Allah, Mary, and Christ, believing, perhaps that if one is good, six should be better. "Berkeley Square", a play that departs froni the obvious realities of life, was presented by the Normal Drama club last, night. A second performance will be given tonight at 8:15, in the auditorium. The play, from the pen of John Balderston, is a fantasy which takes the audience through two generations of time. It centers around the idea held by Peter Standish, played by John James, that he is projected backward in time. Quaint Costumes Used Action takes place in the home of the Pettigrew family in Berkeley Square, London. The setting worked out in dignified black and gold conveys the impression of richness in its simplicity. With colorful costumes of flowered taffeta, rich satins, and musty velvets, the atmosphere of the powdered-wig period of Colonial times is quaintly released. The lighting and sound effects are excellently well-managed, especially in the storm scenes. Unusual Acting Portrayed In his own person, Peter Stan-dish, the hero, goes back to the Berkeley Square house in 1784. In the role of his frandfather he comes to London as a young man to court Kate Pettigrew, played by Mrs. Dorothy Allen. Peter's unusual ability to read the future makes every one fear him with the exception of Helen, Kate's younger sister, with whom he falls in love. Marion Bodiker very charmingly takes this part. On his return to modern life Peter takes Helen's love back with him as an eternal memory— the Helen who did not marry the Peter Standish in whose shape his descendant is masquerading. In the role of Mr. Thostle, an. artist, Marshall Bacon is especially well-cast and plays his. part in a very admirable manner. Well Cast Tom Pettigrew, the harsh gt; and dissipated brother of Kate, is played by Conrad Bentzen. Others Miss Hazel Breakey, Miss Marie Druse, and Miss Hazel Plympton of the Normal Art department were the judges last Monday, afternoon at the American Legion auxiliary poppy poster contest held in the American Legion hall. ;, All Eligible Pupils in any high school in the State of Washington were eligible to compete in the contest, and the two best posters from each represented school were entered. The two prizes offered, ten dollars as first prize and five dollars as second prize, were won by Bellingham high school students. The object of the poster making was to create interest in the poppy sale, which is to be held Friday of this week. o NEW TEACHERS ARE CHOSEN FOR SUMMER LABORATORY ORGANIZED FOR OCEANOGRAPHICAL STUDY. LITTLE SYMPHONY TO PRESENT FINAL CONCERT TUESDAY UNIQUE PROGRAM TO FEATURE MODERN SELECTIONS, WITH LARGER SIZED ORCHESTRA. SMITH TO DIRECT PLACEMENTS BECOME FEWER AS STUDENTS GET TEACHING JOBS (Continued on Pag* Two) KIZER WILL ADDRESS Summer school instructors have been chosen for the summer quarter at Bellingham Normal. ' The summer quarter will begin Saturday/June 13, and end' Friday, August 21. Registration of students will occur on Saturday, June 13. Classes begin Monday, June 15, 8 a. m. First term ends Friday, July 17, 4 prni"." Second term begins Monday, Jury{ 20, .8 a. m. The summer session is considered the fourth quarter of the school year. Courses offered are practically identical with those given during the other quarters. However, special courses are given to meet the needs of advanced students. Many of the courses continue throughput the quarter, but some are offered for the first half of the quarter and others for the second half to? accommodate students who wish to enroll for shorter terms. New Instructors The terms of admission are the same for summer quarter as for any other quarter. Graduates of approved high schools are admitted to Freshman standing. All candidates for graduation must furnish evidence of graduation from accredited high schools. Mature students without these qualifications may be admitted but cannot become candidates for a diploma. Special appointments have been made for the following instructors: Myrtle M. Carnes, second grade, training school, B. S., A. M, Teachers' College, Columbia University; taught at State Teachers' College, San Jose, California, and Chico, Bellingham's Little Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Harold B. Smith, will offer its last concert this season at the American Theater, May 26. The program will begin at 8:20 p. m. It will be one of the most unique ever presented, according to Mr. Smith. It contains several modern selections which call for such typical instruments as the harp, xylophone, and "celesta". The "celesta" is a )3Jano-like instrument but gives bell-like tones when played. Mother Goose Suiteg One of the most outstanding selections will be the "Mother Goose" suite by Barel. It is. in five movements, each portray some phase of the Mother Goose stories. The last movement is particularly effective, as the instruments imitate the roar of a lion. The light and airy movements are especially interesting as they feature the zylophone and "celesta". Artists From Seattle A number of artists from the Seattle Symphony will appear with the orchestra. It probably will be the largest orchestra that has ever made its appearance here. Student body tickets will admit. SPOKANE ATTORNEY FOR GRADUATION CHOSEN SPEECH. I do be reading: through one of last week's Sou'east Norsemen and do come across a scribbling on Campus Daye.

There are cases of that type occurring every day in which conditions have affected men so that they are unable to earn a livelihood in the method that they have prepared themselves for, and yet in this instance we notice particularly owing to its uniqueness. When we see musicians on the stage of our assembly hall we think of them as technicians, at least well paid, and with little worry as to their sustenance. When we see old men, cripples, blind men, and so forth, playing on the streets we never associate them with the caliber of musicians that appears before us here. Yet in this unusual case we have that happening. We admire this aged man. It takes much conquering of pride to drop from the role of playing before large audiences in huge auditoriums, where seats often sell at a premium, to entertaining the pedestrian that may drop a coin in the cup if he feels charitable. Yet, as this man says, "he must live." It seems a shame that our country cannot take care of the person who brings it art and music, for we would be handicapped without these, and yet the workingman does not warrant his set-backs and poverty anymore than the musician. We are attempting, today, to control such situations, but the task seems huge, and in the meantime we admire the man who sets out to make the best of his misfortune. We, here in Normal school, may find ourselves in similar predicaments during the course of a lifetime. -o We do not doubt that many are expecting us, now that the end of the quarter hoves in sight, to urge everyone to get in and study • hard and make it a banner quarter for good grades Just try it with all the sunshine and activities Staging all of its action behind a huge silver spider-web with a background of velvety blackness, the Drama club will present its Vodvil in assembly, June 5. With grotesque acts bordering on the more whimsical side of life, thrills and suspense will be featured in the one-act play entitled "The Haunted House". Murder, phantoms, vampires, and the awe inspiring Dracula are involved in a dramatic and fear creating search into the mystic realms. The ghosts of the departed ancestors of Helen Wahl, Aileen Hurlbert, Theresa Hill, Elsie O'Donnell, and Ethel Little come forth to shame and shock the foolish and pleasure-made modern students — Marion Bodiker, Esther Sundquist, Eilene Morrison, Art Pearson, and Conrad Bentzen. Wayne Priem, with original musical scores, and Cornell Weise, as a phantom lady, are special features. Theresa Hill, Virginia Howell, and Mary McDonald are directing the Vodvil. The lighting effects will be taken care of by Stanley Smith, and the production staff consists of Elizabeth Kaurtheur, Kathleen Hill, and Bob Roberts. o -!§Jip^:::|l^ Featuring the ';• Viking motif "\ in silver, black and blue, the 1931 Klipsun will be issued oh June 4.

Once before we argued with would-be assailants of the idea of the Board voting themselves a picnic or banquet, and finally put forth our ideas on it in these columns. We pointed out that other sections of the student government make-up receive their awards, trips, and socials, and that we felt that the Board was justified in giving this to themselves. The question could be argued for days, and neither side get anywhere, and, after all, we wonder how much jealousy enters into the com-plainers* viewpoints. o • We have been asked so many times why the quarterly dances given by the men's and women's groups are called "informals" that we are beginning to get curious ourselves. . o — : We are in favor of taking up a collection of money and placing it where it would be safe for the next hundred years, and leave instructions for it to be given to the first Board of Control that doesn't raise the question of "outsiders" at Rec hours and other school dances. Or maybe we should employ a Pied Piper to make them walk toward ihe bay. Although we were in favor of the Men's club Vodvil and feel that this c]ub was entitled to a means of raising money for furnishings; we wonder if some of the clubs now on the decline would not have been held together by working for the Viking Vodvil cup. They need something to combat the series of heavy activities staged during the spring quarter. : : -O • The wife of a widely known radio announcer is attempting to get a divorce.

Neat Decorations The decorations designed by Marion greaves were in a fair way to make success of the dance, but aided by the music furnished by Sam Rathman's orchestra the informal was one of the biggest events of the social season. To refresh the thirsty, participants of the dance, punch was served by two petite misses dressed in the costumes of the Dutch people. Dalthrop in Charge Ruth Dalthrop, general chairman for the dance, did much to make it a success while Effie Deighton, chairman of the program committee, showed much ingenuity when she designed Clever programs in the shape of brightly colored tulips. Patrons and patronesses for the dance were: President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Marquis, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Miss Gertrude Longley and Miss Florence Johnson.

Although adverse weather conditions prevented record breaking on a large scale, the marks turned in by the entrants were very good. Whatcom high school took the meet with 28 points, Blaine followed with 13%, and Anacortes with 11%. Whatcom county amassed a total of 64 points. The only mark bettered in the entire fracas was in the javelin throw. Rhooscheib of Snohomish, heaved the spear 180 feet V inches to smash the mark of 173 feet set in 1927, by Chuck Erickson, former Marysville and Bellingham Normal star. The Snhomish star's effort also exceeded the present state record by nearly 7 feet. All eyes, ears and questions will be directed in the general direction of Ellensburg this Week-end with the Tri-Normal track and field meet and tennis and golf tournments taking place. Coach Career is taking over a very small balanced squad and has a very good chance to bring back the three championships. Very little in the way of competition in the track meet is expected from Ellensburg, except in the1 high hurdles and weights. But it is a horse of a different color as far as Cheney is concerned and it looks like a very dark horse. Our own little prediction is that not more than five points will be between the Vikings and the Savages when the meet is over. Hits galore featured a 10-5 victory which the University of Washington pounded out over the Vikings last Friday. The Frosh started the game out with a bang, chasing across eight runs in the first three innings. Blanton looked fairly good on the mound for the Vikings the six innings he pitched. It looks as though the Frosh have just got a wee bit more class and punch than our own Vikings. The Ellensburg track team have taken two decisive defeats on the chin, or wherever track teams take their defeats, in the past two weeks. The C. P. S. tracksters dropped the Wildcats 93-40, and the U. of W. Frosh trounced the Eastern team 99-29. Going back to Tri-Normal, we're willing to make a wager that Ellensburg will not run up more than 1.8 points in the meet. HOLD DISTRICT MEET WHATCOM HIGH LEADS FIELD; BLAINE IN SECOND PLACE.' Lyle A. Haskell, Cougar end, whose educated toe place kicked the Hollingbery team to victory over Washington last year, will coach football, basketball and baseball at Sedro-WooIIey high school next term. We're hoping you'll like it west o* the hump, Lyle. Strange as it seems, but believe it or not, Robert E. Ripley, of very-unusual- facts fame is one of the outstanding handball players of the country. Something we never expected to hear of—a dual track meet ending in a tie. This well-night impossible feat happened last week in a meet between the Washington State Frosh and Idaho Frosh. The meet ended" in a deadlock with each team having 65Vi points.* With but two more games to play in the intramural baseball league, the hard playing Kitchen JKrew Is leading the field in an attempt to cop the season champion ship. It seems as though the Krew can dish up good ball as well as good grub. Marking the end of the road trips for the spring quarter, Coach Sam Carver and his track, golf, and tennis teams left Bellingham yesterday for Ellensburg. . The golf and tennis teams will leave Thursday morning, while the track squad will not go until Friday, morning. Coach Carver thinks that the Viking-squads have a good chance to come home with the long end of the scores, but expects some stiff competition in track. While Ellensburg hasn't a. team that would give Viking fans a great deal of cause to worry, the Cheney Wildcats have about as strong an aggregation as they have had for some time. Tyllia, Wildcat dash man, tied the Tri-Normal record for the 100-yard dash last year, but this year was nosed out in a meet with Washington ^ State College by his teammate, Bannon. These two men will give Gable and Thomas, Viking sprinters, plenty of trouble. Bright in Mile In the field events, Fred Roundy Wildcat discus man, made a throw of 126 feet, 5 inches which is 4 niches over the Tri-Uormal record. He also put the shot 43 feet, 6 inches, which also tops the Tri-Normal record by 3 feet. One event in which the Vikings are almost sure to win points is the mile. Norman Bright will be on duty for the Vikings and if he can continue the form and speed that he has shown all season, first place in the mile will be a certainty. Noel Flowers and Davy Jones should annex a few points in the pole vault, while the local relay team of Carboneau, Eagan, Stewert, and Woitulewicb, asks no favors. Strong in Tennis Hedger and Bernstain will represent the Normal on the tennis courts. Both of these men play a good game and with a few of the breaks sholud be able to walk off with the honors. Coach Carver will miss Jimmy Rork this year. Rork won Tri-Normal championship last year. Golf Team Untried Prospects for a victory in golf are rather questionable, not that the Viking squad is not as good as the other teams, but this is the first year that the Vikings have entered a golf team and the strength of the other teams is not known. Thorsen, Gross, and Irby make up the golf team. Men making the trip are: Track—Bright, Duyff, Carboneau, Woitulewicz, Davis, Eagen, Thomas, Gable, Jones, Dixon, Shelton, Sutton, Gravrock, and Osborne. Tennis—Bernstain, Hedger. Golf—Irby, Thorsen, and Gross. o INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS A regular meeting of the Inter- FROSH WIN Whatcom high school won first place in the district track meet on Waldo field last Saturday after^ noon, gathering 28 points. Blaine had 13% for second, and Anacortes 11% for third. Whatcom took five firsts, all in dash events and one second and one third on the track. Blaine cleaned up in the field. Poor Conditions Weather conditions were poor, preventing record-breaking on a large scale. The weather did not appear to bother Rhorscheib, Snohomish star. He heaved the spear 180 feet 1% inches to smash the mark of 173 feet, set in 1927 by Charles Erickson, former Marysville and Bellingham Normal star. , Barnhart was the leading scorer of the meet with 11% points. Beside winning the 220, he finished several feet ahead of the pack in the hundred, and ran anchor for the winning relay team. Johnson, Sedro-Woolley, was no far behind Barnhart. He won 10% points of his team's 11 markers. Counties Divided Whatcom county entries cleaned up the meet, winning more than half the points, 64% in all. Snohomish was second, Skagit third, and Island last. Whatcom's relay performance was 8-10th of a second slower than a record and beat the two opposing teams by wide margins. Marion Keys, Blaine vaulter, turned in his best performance of the season in winning this event at 11 feet, but failed to beat a record he tried for. VanOver, Mt. Baker, won first place in the shot and took second in the discus. Wasley, Whatcom, turned in one of the best broad jumps of his career to win that event with a leap of 20 feet 3% inches. Malcomb Mc- Beath, Fairhaven's single entry, was in second place. The meet was in charge of .W. A. Fisher, Lynden, as head starter, with a group of Northwest coaches for timers and judges. Medals were presented winners at a ceremony in the Normal gymnasium after the meet. •—°" BETTER TECHNIQUE IS AIM OF CO-ED ARCHERS VIKINGS, LOSE kiFEEQUENTED 10-5 IN GAME B Y ' S H O W E R S . . •-••-vUjr^", gt;«v^'d**8*T:% "B'"•• •-'.-".v •• • • -••• •*• •'-• -:f-^••"i M.'r•**-. •;••. ::.:', •• The University^of Washington Frosh pounded out another victory over the Bellingham Normal team last Friday, 10-5. .

Since her debut last fall, Mary's talent has orown to such proportions that it threatens the very existence of Tin Pan Alley (Aw, he's just kiddin'.) Her lastest song entitled "Moonlight on the Campus" is at this moment being prepared for orchestration by Jack Rauch et al. Its first presentation will be given at the Valkyrie shindig, so anyone who wants to hear a nifty original song must needs but put in an appearance. •i s * ~ * The might of statistics has revealed that, of the large number of World warriors who came back from the fray minus an underpinning, over W per cent were lacking Hie left one. This (momentous, astounding, red-hot) fact was laid to the habit soldiers had of extending the left leg as a brace while venting martial anger on their, foes. Which goes to show that's what you get for putting the wrong foot forward. : !'"• ' •' • * * * s * Some touch that Kansas fellow who teas blind for 60 years must have. Recently he was cured of the cataract that had afflicted him since birth Anyhow, with a touch like that, he wont have to rely on the Townsend old-age pension. * s s « s ~" -See ff-you can match (don't try it, though) this alcoholic epic of'in-' ebriative bliss released by the advocates of bigger and longer college capers. The episode involves the services of "A," the imbiber; "B," the car; and two "C's,' the comrades. Well now, "A," becoming tired of his ballroom surroundings, sought solace within the more comfortable confines of "B." At that point he noted a perfectly elegant parking-space several cars in front of his and began thinking what a wonderful thing it would be to take advantage of the situation by ambling forward. * * # s gt; « The parking space proved an elusive one, however, and slowly kept moving ahead of "B" until it stopped six feet from the curb, three blocks up the street. For the remainder of the night the two "C's" were occupied with the task of finding their wayward companion. Since they themselves were no mean tipplers, they had to drag their three sheets around in the wind until 3:00 o'clock in the yawning. MORAL:.. Keep on the right side of the street, tou jours. Take it away, U.W.T.C.ers. Pathos. Tottering, ancient, and almost blind, stumbled the man along the hurrying tide of downtown pedestrians. In a quavering voice he repeatedly attempted to find his destination by futile inquiries; tried in vain to recall some faint glimmering of its whereabouts from a mind completely overcome by senility. Onward, from door to door, he coursed without avail. . . . Something to look forward to, eh what? * » * * * Today the power behind the throne of England is not that certain prime minister, but is instead the good Earl of Lancaster. The Earl will have the controlling interest in the king's nightgown, and will be the person who initiates King George's coronation bed. Think what would happen if the Earl proved frivolous and ran away with the nightgown and bed, why ! PLAUDITS and LAUDITS to our basketball team for their marvelous finishing of Ellensburg the other night; and more too, for the spirit they have shown throughout a lengthy season (psst, don't tell anybody, but you're O.K.) CREDIT too, to Coach Lappen-busch for the guidance he has whole-heartedly given through thick and thin . .:. all this may sound like repetition, but it is plenty worthy of repeating. 'Much Ado' Gives Sterling Performance! First Nighter Attended by Fair-Sized Crowd; Show Proves Hit Hatch Stars Orchestra Helps; Another Showing Due Tonight Shakespeare's comedy at its best was presented Thursday evening by the Division of Drama in MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING under the direction of Victor H. Hoppe. With the adjuncts of the Elizabethan stage setting, colorful costumes, dances directed by Ruth Weyth-man, and Donald Bushell's ensemble playing the tunes of the period, the play proceeded with verve and zest from the gay to the serious and back again, running the gamut of comedy from Dogberry's absurd mala-propisms to Beatrice's smartest quips and including in its generous plenty a strong dramatic situation full of character revelation. To a cast so large and well balanced it is difficult to do justice. A brilliant performance of Beatrice must be credited to Katheryn Hatch, who with sensitive intelligence brought out the wit, bright mischief, and underlying emotional strength and generous spirit of one of Shakespeare's most attractive he roines. Don Wilson played Benedick with the sophisticated ease ap propriate to the Shakespearian gen tleman. Effective, histronic teamwork was shown in the build-up of the matchmaking situation by Win ifred Krieter, Helen Acklen, Wilda Hawley, Herbert Strain, Don Zylstra, Warren Toms, and Glen Greseth Dogberry and his minions afforded some side-splitting comedy in the performance of Maurice Nelson, Glen Willison, Paul Grandquis, Ernest Finley, and Joe Thomas. There was effective acting in the serious scenes by Winifred Krieter as the innocent and amiable Hero, Herbert Strain in the part of the stern father Leonato, and Alva Potter as the sympathetic Frair Francis. A sustained effect of the sinister was found in the interpretation of the villains Don John, Bo-rachio, and Conrade, by Don Warren, Clarence Soukup, and Rex Rolle. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING will be presented again this evening in the College Auditorium and will go to the Guild Theatre for a three-days' run next week. No lover of drama and Shakespeare will fail to see this spirited and competent performance of a distinguished play. —A. C. Hicks. Ideal Arrangement Is Enjoyed By Assembly Performers it By Pat Green "Nice, working ' together? couldn't be otherwise." "Enjoy traveling around and playing together? It's an ideal arrangement. I wouldn't play with anyone else." These two statements, the first from John, and the second from Helen Hopper, show that this charming, musical couple disprove the idea that marriage and a career can't be mixed. This outstanding pair have their own studio in Seattle where they make their home, dividing their time between giving recitals and teaching. Mrs. Hopper has had 12 years of study under Peter Merenblum, of the Cornish school, and Mr. Hopper has studied under Mattay, in London, and Calvin Cady here in this country. Both have played with the Seattle Symphony orchestra, Mrs. Hopper having been featured with the orchestra for the past three years. Both Attended Cornish Mr. and Mrs. Hopper met through their musical studies at the Cornish school, where both of them had scholarships. They are now the proud possessors of a 6-months-old blue-eyed, red-haired baby girl, Helen Anne. Your reporter, who happened to be an old friend of Mrs. Hopper's, boldly ventured the question as to what was her opinion of Jack Benny and his playing of "The Bee" (this had been one of the numbers on the assembly program) and here is the rather humorous little incident that Was included in her answer: "I, unfortunately, didn't hear the Jack Benny program on Sunday night, but I'll tell you about a joke on me. Before I had heard anything about the famous controversy over 'The Bee,' I played one evening before a group of about 300 men. Rivals Jack Benny When I announced I would play "The Bee, I noticed the majority of them were laughing and clapping. I hastily looked down at my dress, and all around me to see if something was amiss and, nothing seeming out of place, I began playing. When I had finished they again laughed and loudly clapped, but I was still in the dark as to why this one piece should affect them so. Afterwards my accompanist told me, in answer to my inquiries, that Schubert's 'Bee' was the talk of the country at present and that I had surely^made a hit with it." Honeymoon Spent Here Mr. and Mrs. Hopper confessed that their fondness for Bellingham consisted of more than a mere liking for its lovely scenery, having spent their honeymoon here and at Mount Baker. Interclub Council Plans Peace Assembly; Unanimous Vote Cast isher on Committee Represents the West For A A TC American Negro YWCA Subject Mildred Blair, Chairman, Tells Origin of Songs "Negroes in America," the subject of all YWCA meetings throughout the United States during the month of March, was the theme of the Blue Triangle club meeting, held Tuesday evening, March 2, in room 241. Mildred Blair, chairman of the Home committee, had charge of the program. National Anthem Sung Negro spirituals, sung by the group under the leadership of Miss Mira Booth, of the Campus Elementary school, opened the meeting. Among these negro songs sung was the negro national anthem. Marguerite Winterhalter led the group in a choral reading of the first part of Vachel Lindsay's "Congo," which depicts the negro in a state of savagery, enslaved by jungle superstitions. Origin Is Noted Mildred Blair presented the story of the origin and rise of negro spirituals in America. She stated that the characteristic rhythm of the spirituals is probably due to the fact that the black man works in rhythm to the music he is singing. Phonographic records of the Tus-kegee institute chorus were played at the conclusion of the program. The Tuskegee institute is a negro normal and technical school, founded by Booker T. Washington, author of "Up Prom Slavery." Valkyries Dance Tomorrow Night Cruttenden Heads Sport Hop At Leopold Hotel Word has ben received by the president's office that President C. H.

Virginia Kanarr - Feature Editor RexRolIe Copy Editor Gus Gissberg Advertising Manager Sybil Hinchliffe Society Editor Jean Hatch Art Editor For the first time since completion, teams outside the school used the new gymnasium.for basketball games last Monday night. Although the purpose was admittedly well-founded, (proceeds of the game going to the YMCA summer camp, where undernourished boys are given a two weeks* vacation free of charge) the fact remains that the precedent of having only WWC students use the gym was broken. Precedents in themselves are often unwieldly, out-moded ideals, better broken than adamantly adhered to. Since this precedent was broken, a solution to an existing problem can now be offered. Bellingham high school has repeatedly questioned, "Why aren't we allowed to use the new gym?" The students base their protest on the fact that the Vikings used the Whatcom and Fair-haven gyms throughout the 1935-36 season and Battersby field during football season. The above unanswered question is causing ill-feeling in the local school: Resentment is growing to the extent that two Bellingham basketball players, both of potential college calibre, declared that they would not attend Western Washington. This condition is deplorable and calls for immediate attention. Two methods of remedying the situation are suggested. 1. Invite the county high schools to hold their tournament at WWC. Also, since the district tournament will be held in this section next year, contact the coaches and arrange to hold this important tourney at WWC. 2. Let the Men's club, the W club or any other organization sponsoran annual field day for high school boys, such as the WAA •Jiowdoes for high school girls. ?; Results from either or both of the plans would prove tremendously worthwhile. Minor details could easily be worked out. A schedule including visits to class rooms, admission to some athletic contest, a tour of the campus, a swim in the pool—all could easily be programmed. It would acquaint the young athlete with college life. It would show him the opportunities offered at WWC. And favorable sentiment would replace growing resentment. Tra-a-a-a-ck!! Congratulations to Coach Lappenbusch and his victorious Vikings! Hats off to the retiring veterans, Carver and VanderGriend, and the rest of the fighting Norsemen! Revenge is very, very sweet. By Cline Green grass and "spring weather may be found around town now, but don't let that bother you—there are still sixteen deep feet of snow at Mount Baker lodge and more expected. Skiing is getting better and better as the snow settles. Otto Lang in a recent article in Vogue says that the rapid atmospheric changes, so common in the United States, will always be a problem because of its relation to the quality of the snow. Lang goes on to say a fair comparison of American skiing and European skiing is impossible. They each have their own appeals and attractions. Down at the University of Washington, plans are well under way for the All-University ski meet which is to be held this Sunday, March 7. Nearly all the fraternities have entered teams in the meet, which is to be run at Mount Rainier. Cups are to be awarded the winners. A club, to promote not only skiing, but mountain climbing and hiking trips as well, is the idea behind this new plan. Viking Alpine club, which would seem to be the natural name for it, is the brainstorm of Chet Ullin. All persons interested and with suggestions are urged to see him. If well enough organized, money will probably be available from the board, of control to defray expenses of trips. Here's lo the V.A.C. Dear Mama DEAR MAMA: Oh, my goliies, what I having to tell at you! Last night, I attending at first performances of those play "What To Doing About Nothing," written by W. Shakespeare.

But Wata thrilling too much at those exciting romance between Mr. Benedick and those pretty Miss Beatrice.

WHATCOM COUNTY DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION PHONE 314 Local Problems Worked Into Gurrieulum Eighth Grade at Lowe1! School Studies Water Supply Of Bellingham "To acquaint the children with interesting problems in the life about them, to study some phases far enough to open lines of possible in-. terest or at least some, appreciation of what is involved in the problem, and to broaden the range of fields or interest centers to choose from for further detailed study," are some of the objectives outlined by Miss Elsie Wendling, junior high school supervisor, for teaching in the upper grades in the city schools. In this connection student teachers try to synthesize the curriculum with local problems, thus giving the child a basis of fact with which to work. Eighth Graders Study Water Supply The eighth grade at Lowell school is studying iA mathematics the local question of increasing the watey supply of Bellingham. The problem includes a study of elevations of lakes and mountains in the immediate vicinity, the drainage areas, contour maps, construction problems, scale drawings, graphs, percentages, triangulation, volumes, weights, areas, etc. The children not only get the purely mathematical part of the work, but should have an appreciation of some of the city's problems in planning for the future of Bellingham. Salmon Industry Studied Seventh graders at . Lowell are studying the salmon industry. Problems are taken directly from the data found in the Pacific Fishermen's yearbook for 1937, and deal with percentages, area, volume, and rounding off numbers.

Ed Johnston Players that all the coaches pray for, and a team that they dream about, it's the yearly Tri-Normal all-star team. The league-leading Cheney squad placed three players on the honored 1937 list, while Ellens-burg and Bellingham each contributed one apiece. Players were picked by sports writers, coaches and players. On the select second team for Tri-Normal honors, Ellensburg rated three cagers to two for Bellingham. Cheney failed to place a man on this team. The players were picked from their performances in the Tri-Normal games, being based on the principles of aggressiveness, all-around ability, showmanship, and sportsmanship. Here they are. First Team West—Cheney F Carver—Bellingham F Eustace—Cheney C Bunstine—Ellensburg G Kerns—Cheney G Second Team Vanderbrink—Ellensburg ... F Faust—Ellensburg F Nelson—Bellingham C Dziedzic—Bellingham .. ...G Boersma—Ellensburg G Flashy Pugilists Await Gong All-School Smoker Set For Early April; Stuart, Willis in Charge West is Classy Pinky West, a forward from Cheney, who will probably be heard of a lot, later on, as he has two more years of college basketball, fills the first forward position. Speed, his main weapon, which he handles easily on the floor, makes him a fast dribbler. West possesses an accurate eye, and is a fine checker. Dick Carver, of Bellingham, was chosen to fill the other forward slot mainly because of his consistent high scoring. Carver is equally good on the defense and is a pretty fair dribbler. Eustace Tops Centers I n filling the center berth, Ivan Eustace, of Cheney, does a good job because of his height and scoring punch. He does his best work under the basket and is excellent on defense. MeMn Bunstine is probably the best guard to hit the Tri-Normal conference for some time. He played an important part in all of the Ellensburg victories because of his high scoring. Bunstine is a fine dribbler and a long shot artist, possessing the uncanny ability to follow up his shots on the rebounds. In the other back court position, Larry Kerns, of Cheney, hit the honored list, being tabbed as the smoothest passer of the league. He is also a high scorer with the ability to swish long ones when most needed. Co-ops Set Back By Champs By Carver Finally the Co-ops were made to eat their words. At the beginning of the intramural basketball season, all the members of the team said that they would emerge school champions, but they failed to consider the possibility of coming up against the Meat Packers, the A league champs. Last Friday the store men had their big chance to make good , their boast when they came up against the powerful Meaters, but the venture was one that the Co-ops soon forgot, as they were swamped 35-14 under a heavy barrage of baskets during the last half. In fact, "they were no competition," according to Steiner Kvinsland, Packer center. The first half was what the Coops wanted it to be. Checking was good for both teams, the Meat men leading by only 5 points, 12-7, and things didn't look too hopeless for the B league upstarts. Then the explosion came. Fred Krueger began to hit the hoop consistently, ringing up 7 markers before he could be stopped. Dzurick and Murphy, the Meaters' scoring twins, were also running wild, the former shooting in 11 points to the latters' 9. For the losers, Cook was high with 4, made before he was put out with four personals. . By winning the school championship, the Packers have earned the honor of having their pictures taken for the Klipsuh. By Mitch Evich Hopes for a winter quarter, all-school smoker were blown higher than a flagpole sitter this week, when instructors, Bob Stuart and Stan Willis announced that 'the date had been changed from March 10 to the first week in April. If and when the smoker is held the fighters will appear as follows: Curtain raiser—John "Battling" Evans vs. Virge "Killer" Heimber-ger. Second Fight—Johnny ("Who's this Steele guy?") Valenta vs. Fern-dale's pride, Tommy (Night and) Day. Third Battle—Stan (What's Gable got that I ain't got?) Willis vs. Maurice Thomas Nelson, Norse puncher. Fourth Bout—Two mystery wrestlers will tear at each other's hair (identity unknown.) Semi-final—Truman Kennedy, ex- WWCE student, and Vancouver professional fighter, will face Don Wilson, clever middleweight. Main Event—MacCrea (It's the Dempsey in me) Stone vs. Jim Miller, former gridiron star. Student body tickets plus 10 cents will admit. o Bellingham Leads at District Meet Marysville, Bellingham, Lynden, and Everett high school were the four winners in the first round Wednesday of the thirteenth annual Northwest District tournament being held in the Armory at Everett this week. With Joe Harvie leading the way, Bellingham's Red Raiders easily defeated a plucky Sedro-Woolley five 38-24. Harvie was unstoppable under the basket, pushing in 15 points, while Sedro-Woolley was led by Ropes with 9. The Raiders are favorites to win the tournament. The feature game of the openers was the Everett-Anacortes fracas in which the former emerged victors, 29-23. The defeat eliminated Anacortes, one of the pre-tour-riey favorites, from the championship running, but left them still in line for third place. Olson and Lud-wick, the Everett school's sharpshooters, hit the hoop for 13 and 10 markers, respectively. When WWC's two Seagull rooters, Gus Gissberg and Ed Murphy, were asked about the game both chimed in with "Boy, were they hot! We'll win our bets for sure now." Lynden, the second Whatcom county team to win the first game, upset a favored Snohomish quintet 20-7 in a comparatively slow game. The third local county team, Su-mas- Nooksack went down under a Marysville barrage of last half baskets, 21 to 8. Sumas, second place winner in the county tourney, made but two field goals. The first three winners in the finals Saturday night will journey to the state tournament in Seattle two weeks hence.

My article on Inhospitality in last week's edition of the Viking seems to have caused some confusion and misinterpretation. The article Was based on rumors and lacked conclusive evidence. It Was not intended to reflect any blame on any specific person or persons. A telegram from St. Martins denies the rumor, and I am glad to be able to print that such a condition of inhospitality does not exist. For the eleventh consecutive year the Vikings have wound up in the Tri-Normal cellar but there is one consolation, Coach Lappenbusch's charges have given him his first conference victory in five lean years.

He is afraid that Laurance Butzer, of the Cheney Journal, and I will forget the possibilities of Mel Bunstine, ace guard of the Wildcat squad.] Cappa has published a list of Bunstine s feats, which includes fome of the following: The Wildcat guard is leading the Tri-Normal race in scoring honors; he has scored more points in any one conference game than any other player; he is the leading scorer of the Ellensburg squad, and has an average of nine points per game. Well, Fabio, Bunstine is the unanimous choice of our all Tri-Normal selection committee, but don't you forget a couple of our stars. Both Nelson and Carver have scored more points for a season's total then your Bunstine. They are both consistent in their scoring, one or the other is usually always good for 10 points. Both know how to check and can really play basketball. Don't overlook them, Cappa! First Year Star Tournament Time Again Down in Weyerhauser's town of Everett, the District High school tournament is getting., under., way again...

The House of Representatives of Congress passed one of the most sensible measures last Monday that has yet been voted on in this nation of. unriest and turmoil. A.large vote was cast. hr! favor of freeing the 'Philippine'Islands after an eight-year period. U. £ gt;. army and navy fores will remain in control of the islands during this eight-year period. We call this a sensible measure in that it will help bring the chocolate colored inhabitants of the Philippines around to their senses. In the Orient, where jealousy and strife are running rampant, the tiny insular possessions would stand about as much' chance of retaining their freedom-as a male student does at the Normal school. . W.S.TJ.S-^ An outstanding' politician of the present day stated that if the country voted in;'five percent beer we would prosper once again. His logic went something like this... If we had By BOB WALTERS .. The or school has gone "big time" for the ensuing Students' Association elections with a nominating convention, primary election, and now that new institution for the prevention of writer's cramp-real voting machines, and there will be two of them. These machines will be set into operation next Monday morning, and will be there for use in room 103 until 3 o'clock that evening. This is the first tune that this newly-popular system of balloting has ever been used here at the school. Loaned by County These machines nave been loaned by the county, through the permission of the county auditor, G. P. Kincaid. They will also be used for the final vote one week from today, with the same hours and regulations prevailing.. This vote will also be taken by the poll method instead of the former system of assembly vote. Among other influences that brought this change in balloting, the recent convention went on record as favoring the use of polls instead of a collective vote at assembly hour. ; A special election edition of the Northwest Viking will be published Friday afternoon, April 15, after the closing, of the polls and will contain the results of the general election. The papers will be distributed between 5 and 5:30 at rec hour and will beravailable during the dinner hour at Edens Hall.-1 lt;••;'••:-••- Petitions Few But three candidates have been added by petition to that list formulated by the nominating convention of a week ago. These are Virginia Carver and. Jerry McCarthy, for the four-quarter representative election, and Theona Flick, for the vice-presidency. Janet McArthur has definitely decided to withdraw and her name has been stricken from the field of entrants for the vice-president post. With the addition of Miss Flick, the list will remain at three— Vaughan Howell, Doris McElmon and Theona Flick. No Presidential Vote There will be no voting done Monday on the presidential ballot as it is already limited to its necessary two candidates. These ' were put up at the convention and no additions have been forthcoming from the signature source. The same holds true with the race for the faculty adviser to the board. Dr. E. A.

PLAY PRODUCED Former Normal Instructor's -Work Used in Movie Miss Olive Edens' story "Heart and Hand" which first appeared in McCalPs Magazine for June, 1927, has been dramatized and is how being shown at the Grand Theater under the name of "The House Divided". Of interest to the people of Beilingham is the fact that Marietta and Beilingham constitute the setting of the play. Miss Edens was an instructor of English here from 1910 until her death in 1930. She was the daughter of J. J. Edens, an early trustee of the Normal school, in whose honor Edens Hall was named. HIKE TOMORROW W. A. A. Girls Will Head for Lake Whatcom W. A.

EEP THE LIPSUN COMPULSORY SINCE the question of a Compulsory KJipsun fee has been raised it may well be aired, discussed and a final decision reached by the student body. If a change is to be made it should be done immediately before any plans are made for future annuals. WE A R E thoroughly convinced that a majority of the students would be unwilling to give up the traditional yearbook but we agree with the objectors that a three-dollar extra assessment Spring quarter is a great burden. As a solution to the situation we propose: • 'T That a fee of one dollar be levied by the Students' Association for the support of the Klip-sun; and that it be collected by the school from each student at the time of registration for Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters. That no student be entitled to a Klipsun until he has paid a total sum of three dollars. That no refunds be made to students who have paid a portion of their fee and do not care to complete the purchase. T H E SYSTEM outlined above would raise fully as.much money as the present system but would not meet with as much criticism from the students because ofijts distribution of payments throughout the year. ;i IT WOULD be appreciated if some organization within-the school would take the responsibility of sponsoring the foregoing proposal and getting it presented belore the Associated students. In our opinion rit! would be a happy solution to a plan that has this year become particularly objectionable. 2. 3. Vaughn Howell deserves the bounteous praise of the entire student body for the efficient way in which she presented the Mixer last Friday night. The novel circus idea was carried out with a completeness that was outstanding, and the intermission program was of unusually high calibre. . o In between the drops of frequent April showers we suggest that cameras be dragged forth and fair young things and big male factors be "shot" in various characteristic poses! It doesn't take much memory to pack the camera in on those romantic jaunts that just "come" along with Spring—and think how much pleasure the snaps will bring to the exasperated editor of the Klipsun. : o SCIENCE IN THE CHOOLROOM SUGGESTIONS by Sir John Adams, professor of Educational Psychology at London University on future educational methods sound most sensible and practical to us. The changes which he predicted recently at a meeting of the Ontario Educational association and which especially pleased us are that pupils will have to learn only one-half the amount of arithmetic, spelling, and history that they today are required to learn. "PUPILS will ieara that alphabet on portable typewriters" according to the professor, and to this idea we lend a hearty "here, here" and commend it as worthy to replace the push-pull, over-over-over method. T H A T CLASSROOMS will echo with the sounds of talking pictures and radio, is among .other suggestions and he concludes with a consideration we are sure this English gentleman would find already incorporated in our training school standards. "EDUCATION will have to be moulded into a well-organized whole. A better balance between : language, science and literature must be made. More world knowledge should be taught in the class-room. "CHILDREN must receive the maximum benefits of our scientific and mechanical progress. They should also be taught how to cope with it.

Oh, but say fellahs—you should have been with the Viking staff last week—up on Chuckanut Mountain- It seems there never was such a party since the Thespians' week-end at Cultus Lake, about three years ago. Irene Schagel and Brace Kibble will give you the low-down on that little jaunt. , . —Q , , . - . 'V ^ Anyhow, Vernon Leatha certainly does Schottische well (No, it's not a drink, but a dance)—and Brace Kibble wasn't the only one who made a monkey out of himself—and has "Uncle Wart" a good voice—On Monday morning, poor "Jean Harlow" Stoddard looked the way the rest of us felt—like the relics of a misspent life.—And then there was that uncomfortable penalty for those who threw rocks over the cliff—all-too- readily administered by that Long-legged, big-booted, Erwin Leatha!—Bobbie Sullivan's house seemed to stand the strain—but it'll never be the same again! . —o— The office half-wits, by a simple process of collaboration and addition have figured out a system whereby we can keep these parties up indefinitely—you see, being totally defunct this week we can"t put out a paper so we take the money and throw another party, this week-end—and being even more defunct next week, we take more money and so on ad infinitum— until "death do us part." o Which reminds me—I just got through being attendant at a wedding—always a bridesmaid and never.a bride—oh, the irony of these B. O. advertisements— —o — "Bud" M., our estimable friend, who has been promising to give Hollywood and surrounding points a break for the last six months got smeared in a friendly little tussle with N. B.—just nize cleen fun? o An invitation to a dance doesn't guarantee "seeing Nellie home" for the lady in question, according to Ray Wimer. Then someone comes across with—"She was as pure as the new-fallen snow—but she drifted." _ o Why is it that a certain Sociology teacher in this institution leads right up to some juicy morsel, and then says "Well, we'll talk about that later—"? It's certainly going to be some course if we get to hear all that's being saved up for us. o And on we go—drifting from one week-end to another! On the Campus Side of the Keyhole On those rare days when old sol shows his beaming face, we are stricken with the urge to ramble. This we do, pausing at the tennis courts to exchange a bit of banter with Larry Carr, Big John Kienast, Everett Emery, Johnny Gable and-a lot of the boys. We resume our way on up the street., and., meet.. Jack Falkner and that girl of his, out for a stroll. They tell us the road to Sunset Heights is all muddy, so we about face and start down High street. There are Peggy Armstrong, and A. H. Banner dodging automobiles. A graceful sight! Cullen Baker and Bob Beeken condescend to pick us up and we rattle down town, seeing Dick Albert, who looks all bewildered by the steady flow of traffic. Miss Lucy Kangley, clever English teacher, stops at our upraised thumb, and we speed back to class, only fifteen minutes late, amid the concerted gigglings of Ethel Page, Elizabeth von Hoene, and a lot of the other girls. , #.A 0^ s An Essay Written by Evelyn EiKptt ;* /" :!

I am not speaking, gentle reader, of the new drug store of this day, in which one may purchase anything from the popular face paints of feminine fancy to a guaranteed reliable timepiece for the kitchen stove-r-the odors of. these places—a combination of smells of rubber bathing caps, strong perfume, and toasted tuna fish sandwiches is disgusting to my senses. It is the true apothecary shop which has never been ruined by these profanities of newness, of which I speak. Drag Odor Lures Whenever I am fortunate enough to find one of these rare places, I love to linger in them, to fill my nostrils with the delightful odor that is "redolent of soothing recollections." My Uncle S. had been a druggist, and had a drug store in the small town of P . Prom a very early age I had shown an instinctive delight in being allowed to go behind the high counters and to inspect at close range the long rows of mysterious bottles, with their warning labels— to see where the very life-giving potions were mixed under my uncle's careful hand and prepared for their mission of relieving some poor sufferer. Sees Potions Made My happiness was complete when I was allowed to be present while one of these potions was prepared. My uncle would place me upon a very high stool where I could observe everything (and disturb nothing) ; then he would weigh a minute particle of white powder, pour it into the glass crucible, add just a drop of the colorless liquid from the big brown bottle fifth from the left on the second shelf, add more of the carefully weighed powder and begin to stir it with the glass pestol. Round and round went the pestol, making the familiar dull grinding sound—round and round until I thought it should never cease. But finally the pasty substance found its way into a little white jar, was labeled and placed on the table to wait to be called for. Calls for Mail Uncle S. had encouraged my interest in his work, and permitted me to do many things which were unwarranted by my years. At 10 I was permitted to take the mail box key and go to the postoffice two blocks away for the mail—unaccompanied! The thrill of opening the great brass door and finding the great pile of letters and packages is one I will never forget. It is so satisfactory to get mail for others, since it requires no painful answering correspondence on one's own. part, and yet the excitement and joy which the sight of many letters causes is there just the same. Gets Thrill Often there would be a card among the letters, from the post-office, saying that a large box was waiting within. Then my excitement reached its height. The box would be sent for, and, upon arriving, would be placed in the center of a cleared out place, pried open, and left then at the mercy of my two small eager hands. The thrill of finding the bottles and boxes and jars of mysterious remedies hidden in the sea of excelsior was as great as must have been Captain Kidd's upon opening a long sought chest of riches. Has Delightful Duty One particularly delightful duty which I took upon myself was keeping the candy counters well filled.

Week-eridleaves Lasting Memories ••.WAVfe Staff Children's Librarians Hold Staff Luncheon (By Marydel Conrad) After, arriving home rrom the Viking party at Sullivan's on Chucka-nut Mountain, sore of body and happy of mind we inquired as to some of the lasting impressions gained by other members of. the staff. And just look what we found-—." IRENE SCHAGEL remembers peanuts eaten at two in.the morning. We'd imagine she'd remember more about the shells, considering how many she got in her hair. BRUCE KIBBLE says he'll never forget seeing VIRGINIA GEORGE do a broad jump, and Georgie says she won't forget doing it either. JLMMIE STODDARD can't remember anything but" pancakes and perhaps more pancakes, in fact about twenty, at one sitting. ROGER CHAPMAN distinctly recalls having had plenty of food, to which we add amen. ELAINE SUTHERLEN says her most vivid.memory was ERVIN LEATHA. Ervin states that he doesn't see how so many nuts could gather in one place for a night and live. ....:-. .''..• GORDON LEEN jfclls us that the most lasting thing he received from the party was a headache. JUNE WELCH puts pinochle at the head of her list or impressions. One would think she'd remember sleeping on a stone floor. SAMMIE CARVER certainly has a lasting impression in the form of three large black and blue.spots on various prominent parts of her anatomy. WALT SUTHERLEN liked the democracy of the crowd and we second the motion. NELLIE COX remembers a feather bed and a pair of pajamas tied in hard knots. It was a good bed— we know—we sampled it. VERNON LEATHA thought the party was a house wrecking success. BOBBY SULLIVAN said it was loads of fun but not long enough and the rest of us heartily agree. o Women's Teas to be Held Spring Quarter The weekly afternoon teas which are sponsored by the Women's League wil lbe resumed next week, and continue through the quarter. The teas are held in the Women's League room on a different day each week, giving everyone a chance to attend. AH of the girls in the school are invitedi Watch the posters on the door of the Women's League room for'the date of the first tea. ___——o • — MANY PLAN ATTENDING DRAMATIC PRODUCTION Charles Beard, Noted Historian, to Speak In Seattle Tonight In honor of two. prominent historians, Professor Charles A. Beard and his wife, an informal dinner will be given this evening by the members of the social science and technology faculties of the University of Washington and fifty social science teachers-of .the Seattle pub-, lie schools. . Professor Beard is scheduled to speak on "The Problem of the Educator in an Age of Technology" at the banquet, which is to take place in the Via Fontana dining room of the Wilsonian hotel in Seattle at 6:45 p. m. ^ Despite the fact that there were only a limited number of invitations available for the affair, ten reservations were made for members of the Normal faculty. Those who will attend from here are: Dean James Bever, Dean W. J. Marquis, Edward A. Arntzen, Pelagius Williams, Nora B. Cummins, H. B. Phillipi, Mary E. Rich, Mabel B. Askew, Bertha E. Crawford and Ethel G. Church. r-. o Student Dance Held at Chuckanut Shell The collegiate dance, which was held at Chuckanut Shell last Saturday night, April 2, turned out to be a huge success as approximately sixty couples attended. The majority of these were outside students, but nevertheless many Normal students were there. The dance was sponsored by Bruce Springford and Howard Wasley, two Normal students. They are planning to give another hop in the near future. o Showing off before their lady friends was given as the reason for thirty per cent of the masculine drownings during 1931, according to the Daily Kansan. o— The State College of Montana holds an annual Co-ed prom to which men are absolutely not invited. . o Valkyries Prepare For Party Tonight; Surprises For AH POTTERIES MADE Richardson Industrial; Classes' Homemade Kiln. Use Annette Austin Promises Gala Affair in Big Gymnasium . Prizes, surprises, cootie, dancing, penalties, food and fun will all be there in large amounts at the Valkyrie party, which starts at 7:45 o'clock in the big gymnasium tonight. Each member has the privilege of bringing a guest who would be interested in joining the club. The first ten or fifteen minutes of the evening will be spent in getting acquainted with everyone. Prize Arranged Cootie will be played, a prize being given to the winning person, while dancing will also occupy a great deal of the evening's program. A novelty game has been arranged which will last all . evening even while the girls are doing these other things. Girls may be on diets but this committee decided that lots of food goes to make a successful party and have thus arranged it. Patronesses Invited The patronesses for the evening are Miss Margery Horton, Miss Mildred Jewell, Miss Beatrice Doty, Miss Mildred Tremain and Miss LaVerne Farlow. Annette Austin, who is chairman of the party, is assisted by Deborah Altose, Marian Baila, Mamie Mousing a 'homemade kiln, Miss Charlotte B. Richardson's industrial arts classesx have fired- several, groups of pottery with varying degrees of success;. , . The kiln is made of an old oil can with one end cut out and made into a door set over a brick fire pit. Pottery is put into the kiln in the morning, and a wood fire is then built underneath and around the sides. At noon coal is added to the fire to obtain a more intense heat, then the fire is gradually allowed to die down. The next morning the pottery is ready to take out.

Coach Sam Carver's orders for the last week have been "exercise and easy running," so the cinder men have been taking it easy but nevertheless trying hard to get into shape. With only six lettermen back to form the nucleus of the track team. Coach Carver will have a heavy task ahead of him in forming a creditable cinder team to defend the school's tri-Normal honors. The lettermen back are Thomas, sprints; Duyff and Lovegren, distances; Davis, hurdles and high • jump; Gable, broad jump, and Shelton, field events. Outstanding Material Although handicapped by the lack of lettermen, Carver has under his command many men who should prove valuable to him in the coming meets. In the sprints, he has Schlilaty, a pre-season favorite, who came here from Everett with an outstanding record; Charles-worth, who hails from Centralis, is also out to show his speed. In the middle-distance runs, where letter-men are lacking, there is a host of promising material out, including Stewart, Hall, Stiger, Christy, Beck-en, Pinlay, Osgood and Vaughn. Lovegren Back . Lew Lovegren, who ran the two-mile and made his letter in 1930, is back to the old grind again. After a year's layoff Lew should come back with much more ability than in his previous year. Johanasen and Dunn are out fighting for places on the team in the mile and they should keep Duyff burning up the track in fast time. Wasley Looks Good .In the broad jump there are two outstanding men, Gable and Wasley. These two men worked out'together tost year, but for different schools, and always jumped near the same mark, with Wasley occasionally beating Gable. The latter won the tri-Normal broad jump event last year, while Wasley went to the state meet at Pullman for Whatcom High School and placed fourth. In the hurdles, Michelson and Williams are out to show Davis some speed but will have to go plenty fast to show him up. In the poie vault, Jones is left to uphold the good record that Posey Flowers left Field Events ' Six new men are out to fill the places left by graduation in the field events. Shelton is the only letterman back and under him these men will work. The men who are working out are Kemphaus, Brewer, Moe, Smith, VanOver and Russell. Tb,ese;men are all big and experienced and will work into their positions easily. Meets Coming Up Due to weather conditions, the class meet has been postponed until the Friday or Saturday of next week. The week after this a practice meet will be held with Whatcom High. The schedule follows: April 30—Dual meet with Ellens-burg, here. ••ildayr:7—Dual meet with College of Puget Sound, Tacoma. May 11—Dual meet with University of Washington Freshmen, here. May 21—Tri-Normal meet, Cheney. ^ ; ' _—_—-o • SPLASH HOURS ARE r d l V E N THIS SPRING Popular Games Are ;.;,"'. Offered to Women For Spring Quarter Women's sports for spring quarter got well under way this week, with a large number of girls turning out for each of the six sports being Offered. Six Sports Sports and managers for this quarter are: Handball, Margaret Roberts;. tennis, Genevieve Peters; baseball, Alice Wampler; archery, Violet Strandberg; speedball, Bertha MacFayden, , and natural dancing, Inez Williams. Archery, speedball and natural dancing meet on Mondays and Wednesdays, and handball, tennis and baseball on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4 o'clock. Still Time to Start It is still not too late for girls to start turning out for any of these sports. Real practices will begin Monday, and intramurals will get under way the following week in most sports. V Members of the W. A. A. will continue their evening splash hours this quarter. Two splash hours will be held on Thursday evening, the first for. beginners, from 7 to 8 p. m., the second for advanced swimmers and life savers, from 8 to 9 p. m. As there is only room for twenty girls in the tank at one time, the first twenty girls to sign for each hour will be admitted. Ghte may ; « ^ . ; ^ : m t h p ^ A.

The Kitchen Krew are supposed to be a strong outfit and should make things plenty tough for the Daffodils; that is, if they work together as well as they should. In the second game of the schedule, Jimmy Stoddard's Viking Manor squad will try to knock the Co-Op nine out of the lot. Personally we think that they would like much better to put the K. O. on all of the personnel. Of course, if the Co-Ops are as good as they were in basketball we kinda pity the Viking Manor sluggers. This game will take place on April 13. The remaining games on the schedule are as follows: April 18—Kitchen Krew vs. Viking Manor. April 20—Daffodils vs. Co-Op.

CONDUCTED BY BILL SELLS Brewer, T. Stiger and Macomber. By the way, fellows, all those that will witness the big regatta tomorrow will see a Bellingham product rowing for the Washington Frosh. This youngster is Karl Oberleitner. He will he in there pulling on No. 5 oar for all he's Worth. Karl is a fighter and we hope they will win, although all three crews are rated, to finish behind California. Right up here on the hilltop our coaching staff wouldn't mind sharing in a little nice weather for a while either—both track and baseball are probably a week behind in their training schedules and prospects are that they'll stay behind for awhile. This season Pop Gunn is extremely favored with a bunch of creditable chuckers that would please any coach, and they are expected to throw plenty hooks and speedballs when the season rolls around, providing the weather permits. Some of the most promising of these chuckers that have been working out are Iverson, E. Leatha, Loomis A very seasonable short .story: "Rain^—no Workout today." And so much for the weather. Drawings have been made for the ladder tournaments to be held this quarter, and from the pre-dope that is going around there are going to be some interesting matches played this year, as competition is going to be friendly, but tough; It is not too late to get in the fun yet, so sign up now for TOUT favorite sport— golf, tennis, handball or horseshoes. The intramural baseball league swings into action Monday night. So far there are four teams entered in the title race, but the personnel of all the squads are not yet filled. Go sign with your favorites today so the league can get off to a flying start. LATE NEWS BRIEFS: Schlilaty is due to break "ten flat" this season. . . . Babe Ruth toofcTa cut and is working for $75,000. . . . Paul Peringer claims chess should be a major sport. . .-. Carver "thinks golf is a "real" game. . . . Francisco and Chandler are looking forward to being finalists in the horseshoe ladder, . . . And for those that are dissatisfied with this column, we'll oblige and sign off. Out of a maximum score of 1,000 points the Northwest Viking received a total score of 890 points, thus winning its first place* rating in the eighth annual Columbia Scholastic .Press contest which was held March 10, 11 and 12 at Columbia University. Last year the paper got. 83 out of a possible 100 points. In this contest each paper was compared with others in its own class and was scored according to different departments and pages. In general appearance the Viking received a rating of 230 out of a maximum of 250 points for having an attractive and well-balanced front page. The news content received 335 out of 350 points for being interesting, well written, and for having an attractive, sports section. The Viking was generally judged as giving a good impression of the school and of all phases of the school's life. . ( gt; •- : • • Colleges and universities throughout the country are now sponsoring chess tournaments, to take the place of the many bridge contests recently held. Chess is the oldest and most cosmopolitan of games. It originated in Persia so long ago that we' Have no record of its beginning, and is now played in all parts of the world. It is a game of kings, for it is not only played by kings, but with kings; the object of each game being the capture of the opposing king. ' Chess enthusiasts found among college students: claim^ t h a t this game is more tate popular bridge game. Sport Turnouts Have e Attendance at After School Session Largt With bad weather still hampering turnouts, Pop Gunn, baseball mentor, is still in about the same fix that confronted him when he issued a call for baseball material two weeks ago So far this season they have held but one batting practice and no scrimages. The only thing noticeable in the long batting practice was that the pitchers' arms were much better' than the batters' eyes and no noticeable hitting was taking place. Four of-Pop's veterans answered the first call to arms adn more are expected to answer the next turnout. Plenty of rookies donned togs for the first workout and some of the boys look like they will give the veterans quite a little bit of competition. The Viking pitching staff looks like it will be very powerful with seven or eight chuckers out on the diamond throwing the ball around and all of them have had some experience or other. Macomber, Bund-: berg and Stiger threw to the batters the first night and they were all lacking in control but all showed promise of developing into varsity material. To date the Viking machine looks weak, on outfielders and strong? on infileders. Francisco, Flint and Cook look like the only reliable ball chasers, so far. With two weeks to prepare for their opening games which consists of a road trip to Tacoma to encounter C. P. S. and to Olympia to tangle with St. Martins the Vikings heed every good day of weather to sharpen up their batting eyes and gettheir arms in shape. — o- Terrace House Elects On April 4 Terrace House held a house meeting for the election of: officers.

There, dignified upperclassmen of worthy pioneer stock drape themselves gracefully over the bar as the jovial barteners "set 'em up" to the throbbing strains of "Oh, Susanna", played by Chuck Cissna's musical miners. There, men of all classes gather to pay tribute to women, wine, and song—women who have evaded masculine wiles for more than two years at Normal; wine, whose lineage is rumored to be the gravenstein; and song, perhaps "Moonlight and Pretzels" or "Sweet Adeline". The management wishes to aiy nounce that it assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any shooting or quarrelling which might occur during the evening but it does warn its "patrons against professional gamblers, such as have infested all respectable saloons during the gold r u s h W-hile the customers enjoy the light "free lunch" served with their "pizens", "Big Bill" Allan, junior-senior class prexy, entertains with a song and dance. The saloon was recently re-decorated by "The lady that's known as Liz" Schuehle and her assistants. A new bar, constructed at one end of the room, is a product of real ability and shows no lack of experience on the part of its designers. A pleasant radiance is created in the saloon by three lamps swung low from the ceiling. (Continued on Page Pour) Oryin Messegee Is Elected President The Social Science club had in itiation of new members at the last meeting held Monday, October 16, in the Edens hall club room. A main feature of the initiation was a debate by Ralph Hofman and John Rule on the subject, "Resolved, that the chain stores are detrimental to the best interests'of the American public." The critic judge was Theo dore Abener. The club is considering entertain ing Senator LaFollette on his visit here. All applicants for membership who were not present are requested, to come to the next meeting, which will be the first Monday of November.

Because a few students have already lost or mislaid their student activity tickets, several have applied for duplicates to be re-issued to them. John Christy, student body president, appointed a committee to act on tSiis matter consisting of Dr. Bond, Bert Gallanger, and Harriet Rickerson. A motion was adopted that the year's budget be cut 10 per cent from the sum of last year's budget. This now distributes student funds to the various activities in the following proportion: Women's athletics, $137.50; men's athletics, $825; Viking fund, $412.50; lectures and entertainments, $825; and social life, $850. As a secondary motion on the budget problem, it was decided to base the foregoing apportionment on a student enrollment of 550 and to finance this from five dollars of each student ticket. These appropriations were made after discussion by Miss Keythman, Mr. Car- (Continued on Page Three) Hopper Entertains With Piano Recital Last Tuesday at 11:00 o'clock a. m., John Hopper, noted musician and accompanist, entertained the students with a program of piano music. Simple melodies played in his unusual style were the features which added charm to the recital. Some of the best known numbers Mr. Hopper played were selections from Beethoven, Greig, Bach and other famous composers.. His program ran in such a way as to graduate from the simple melodies to the more complex numbers of today. Graduates Send In Employment Reports Fifteen former students of the Bellingham State Normal school have reported employment since the latter part of July. A more complete report of those students who have secured teaching positions through the aid of the Appointment Bureau will be available next week.

The Homecoming will officially begin with a pep rally and bonfire Friday evening, November 17, at the new athletic field. Material for the bonfire will be gathered by members of the freshman class under direction of Don Norlin, president. A luncheon, under the supervision of Tim Lowe, will be served at Edens hall on Saturday at 12 o'clock, after which the guests will trek to the athletic field to witness the football game between the Ellensburg Wildcats and the Bellingham Vikings. A dance at the State Armory will conclude the events. One of the side events for the occasion will be a contest for the best decorated organized house. Two awards will be offered. Invitations are being sent out through the co-operation of the extension bureau this week to all former students of the school. It is understood that all present attendants are invited by President Fisher and John Christy, student president. Will Soon Be Held For Incorporation And the Students Will Decide Now Whether We Will Be Incorporated There will be soon a special assembly, at which the articles and bylaws of the incorporation will be presented to the students for their vote of approval, under the direction of John Christy, president of the Associated students. At the regular meeting of the faculty forum October 10, the incorporation was explained by President Christy. It was advised that a faculty committee be appointed to investigate several questions, and to investigate the connection which would exist between the students and the faculty. There has been posted on the main bulletin board for the past week the articles and by-laws of the incorporation, in order that every student may set why this incorporation is for his benefit. Cummins Resumes Work While Miss Nora B. the History department, was ill for a few days this week, Mr. Edward Arntzen, social scence instructor, acted as her substitute. Miss Cunimins, who resumed her duties yesterday, has been suffering with a cold. Auditorium Packed to See Dancer; Ito and Company Thrill Audience By Margaret Bradley Michio Ito and his company were received very enthusiastically by the audience which packed the Auditorium last Friday evening. Judging from the enthusiastic applause, Bellingham appreciated its good fortune in having such an unusual presentation. Michio Ito was the most outstanding of the dancers. For a man of his apparent age, he certainly handled himself with ease. Every member of his company was a finished dancer, but it was evident that each member has taken his style from his Oriental teacher. It seems curious that an Oriental should choose to have a company of white people instead of Orientals like himself. In his company are Lillian Powell, Waldeen, Marjorie Booth, Betty Jordan, and Warren Crosby. Dancing of New Type The dancing was the new impressionistic type, which the American public has not been educated to appreciate. At first the audience seemed a bit uncertain, but the more they saw the better they liked it. The dancing was not of the grotesquely modern type. It could not be said that there was one movement which was not beautiful and graceful. In this new style of dancing every movement has a meaning, and complete , muscular control is more essential than it was in the old flutter-flutter or chorus girl style. The costumes were of a very appropriate type. The lines were enhancing to the figure, and in keeping with the mood of the dance. They were of soft mellow tones which suggested an Oriental influence. They were a delightful relief from the chorus girlish type of costume. Music Well Chosen The music which accompanied the dancing was well chosen and beauti fully played by Anton Roland. Waldeen was superb in her dance, "Juba". We must give Waldeen credit for knowing how to handle a scarf. Ito's "Tango" Pleases The audience was thrilled by Michio Ito's interpretation of "Tango" "Comica", danced by Betty Jordan, was clever and different. In this number she wore the costume of a Spanish peasant. Lillian Powell scored the hit of the evening with her dance, "Ballet Sentimentale". In this number she handled a baljoon and scarf with such grace and ease that it seemed to take no effort. Scouts Leadership Course Is Offered Bellingham State Normal students have been invited to enroll in a course of Scout Leadership, which organized last Monday, October 16. Classes meet every Monday evening between 7:30 and 9:00 p. m. Anyone interested in such a course should report to the business office and enroll.

WESTERN CULTURE A short time ago one student was heard to remark that he would like to attend a school in the east, where he would come in contact with the great culture which exists there. If this attitude were common, enthusiasm for East Central would be practically dead. The student re-to held the opinion that colleges in other parts of the country were much more refined -and polished, and that he could get a better education there. Cultures are diffrent everywhere, and the culture of the southwest and Oklahoma is as valuable, if not more so, than the cultures of the eastern schools. East Central teaches subjects that enable the graduate to make his way sensibly through life, meeting troubles philosophically and encountering society in a self-confident manner. In addition, it makes a manly man and a womanly woman of the student who finishes here. The wild west no longer lives here, but many of its characteristics still play vital parts in the complexes of the populace. Hardy pople, able and hard-working, are built in the remnants of the six-gun age; this class of culture is as worthwhile to the nation as any other sort. —East Central (Okla.) Journal.

PORTO LANT^' i Bob Lindsley ' T o d a y finds our football team at Cheney where they are taking on the strong Cheney Savages. What ;tne outcome will be, we don't know, vbut we're pretty positive of two ^things. One of them is that the Cheney outfit isn't as strong as those Frosh were, arid the other is that the Vikings will be a lot better than they were last week when their blocking was a little bit ragged. .... And then the Savages won't have a ball-carrier like little Arbie Huf-ford of the Frosh, although they will have Peterson, their fullback, who scored all of their points against the Idaho Frosh. However, the Viking forward wall and the secondary defense will have just one thing in their minds and that will be to stop Peterson, and they have a pretty fair chance of doing that thing. Taking all these things into consideration, and knowing how those Vikings are capable'of playing at times as a result of witnessing that n game at Seattle, I think that I will be safe in predicting a possible win or at least no worse than a tie. Whoever wins, it is bound to be a good game. * * * * * An upset occurred in the intramural volleyball league last Tuesday night when George Albee's Independents were defeated by the Northwest Viking sextet.

Strong Freshmen Squad at U. Defeats Vikings Score of 22-0 Chalked up for the Frosh in Friday Game Coach Chuck Lappenbusch and his band of Vikings found themselves pittel against the best freshman football team that the University of Washington has had in years, last Friday afternoon at Seattle when they were defeated by a score of 22 toO. The Vikings were opposed by a big, powerful line, behind which a fast ba'ckfield had plenty of time to get going, and when they did there was no stopping them. The University cubs, led by little Arbie Huf-ford and Jimmy "Sugar" Cain, a duo of the best backs this writer has seen, scored a field goal and a touchdown in the first quarter, another touchdown in the second quar-te, and the final one just a few minutes before the end of the game. Williams Looks Good The play was almost entirely in Viking territory throughout the game except in the third quarter when the Normalites made their only bid for a score. A great exhibition of ball-packing by Les Williams, hard fighting little halfback, carried the ball to the Yearlings* 15-yard line before the freshmen took the ball on downs. The expected passing attack of the frosh failed to materialize as Haines, their star passer, was on the sidelines, ineligible. What passes they did attempt were either incomplete or intercepted, while the Vikings showed promise of a real passing attack when they completed several tosses from Williams to Toby and Odell. Imhoff Good on Defense Several bright spots were seen in the Vikings' attack and defense in the game, among them the defensive playing of imhoff, fullback. He played a whale of a game at defensive full until he was taken out in the first quarter with a twisted knee. Tome, guard, and Hoban, tackle, also showed up well, while Williams looked to be the best Viking ball carrier on the field. Mitchell, left guard, was taken out of the' game in the first quarter with a dislocated shoulder, but he probably will be in shape to play today.

Tipton Championship to Be Decided Soon Only Three Players Remain in Tennis Contest ' Only three players remain in the men's elimination tennis tournament, fighting it out for the school championship. Smooth stroking Ralph Shenenberger has proven to be the tournament surprise. Although drawing an easy bracket, Shenenberger has fought his way to the finals, and will meet the winner of the Hussey-Willard battle for the championship. Bill Hussey, who has had much high school experience and a veteran of several northwest tournaments, won the right to go to the semi-finals by defeating one of the best net flashes to enter the tournament, Oscar Starlund. It would be a big upset if Willard or Shenenberger is able to stop Hus-sey's championship drive. o N.W. Viking Win Volleyball Tussle Extending their winning streak to three games the N. W. Viking volleyball team defeated the league leaders, George Albee's Independents. The Independents seemed to be no opposition at all for Bob- Lindsley's boys, and they easily made a sweep of the two games. The brilliant playing of Moser, Stone and Shenenberger were the main sparks that led the newspaper men to victory. This victory put the N. W. Vikings in the lead for second half honors. The Independent were champs of the first half. *• October 28 Is Date of First Home Game The College of Puget Sound, last year's Northwest champs and strong 1933 contenders for the same honors, will offer the Vikings their first home game competition on October 28. A passing attack that had even W. S. C. looking sick will be one of the main weapons of the Loggers. At Pullman they completed eight out of twenty-five passes so a pass defense will be essential for the Bel-lingham team. If the Vikings show up as stubbornly against C. P. S. as they did against the Frosh last week they should be a slight favorite.

Three new shining lights among the volleyball turnouts are Dolores Frank and Donnie Grant, freshmen of unusual ability in this line, and Phyllis Creely, a sophomore all-star player who attended the University of Washington last year.

':1' '%JSt';':'}•?••: IN GLASS ROOM Compositions, Block Prints, Maps to Compose Original Book and Thespian Tryout Brings Talented Artists Forward Sixty Enthusiastic Students Bid for Membership; Club Is Enlarged NEW FACILITIES DISCUSSED Points of Historical Interest Are To Be Seen A dip into the very early history of Bellingham has brought about an original and interesting study to the pupils of the fourth grade of the campus school. A book of original compositions and block prints made by the class is being organized so that they may have a permanent record of their investigations. The beginning of this study grew out of a discussion of the summer's vacations, where they were spent, and why such a place or activity had been chosen. The question of birthplaces or former homes crept into the con- • versation, leading to the question of: "Why did our parents or grandparents come to Bellingham?" Climate, sports, business and scenery were among the reasons given by the class. Early History Studied The local explorations and discoveries of Captain Vancouver and Peter Puget were called to attention. The first sawmill, located at the mouth of Whatcom creek, and owned by Messrs. Peabody and Roeder, was pointed to as a piece of local pioneering. The children soon realized that streets, buildings and geographical features often carried the names of early settlers. Natural resources were listed as one of the main causes of growth. Pishing, lumbering, mining and favorable agricultural conditions are the primary resources responsible for growth. The excellency of the local harbor was shown when points of a good harbor were discussed. Contrast Methods of Living Methods of living in the pioneer days were contrasted with the mod ern heating, lighting, housing and transportation facilities. Needing illustrations for their sto ries, the children were made to re alize that hand drawn and colored pictures wouid be impossible if each one of them was to receive one of the books. With Miss Hazel Plympton's guid ance, they have begun block prints of early pioneer scenes so that multiple copies may be made. Some of the children are interested in mak ing pictorial maps of the city as it is today. Children Work in Groups In preparing for their record, the! children sometimes work in groups, others work alone. Titles and chapter headings are a. source of interest to all the class. This study combines in a closely inter-related manner, history, geography, English, art and industrial arts. Plans are being made for trips to points of historical interest in the city. o Retrospective Study Of Renaissance Art Displayed For Dept. The history of modern Europe class has been going backward rather than forward. The class has gone back a few centuries to the Renaissance age and has been studying the art and sculpture of that period in comparison to ours today. Miss Hazel Plympton, head of the art department, has transformed her room into an art room of long ago. The history students will visit the room next week, where they will find comparative studies of art work, contrasts, examples of sculpture done in the Renaissance age, and interesting books. On exhibit is one outstanding book, "Lives of Painters," by Vassari, who lived during that time and collected stories of artists. o Junior-Senior Party ToniteintheBigGym (Continued from Page One) Talented people stormed the doors of the Thespian club in. such great numbers at the tryouts held in the auditorium October 12 that the club enlarged its membership rather than lose the excellent material which the applicants displayed. Members of the tryout committee, Lillian Bennerstrom, Billie Mills, Virginia Carver, Marion Cole, Pat Allan and Monty Sheppard were placed in the difficult position of choosing twenty-five new. members from sixty applicants. Thirty-five were finally chosen and the committee greatly regretted that more might not have been included. No definite news as to the choice of faculty adviser has as yet been received, nor has a definite date been set for the banquet, but President Bennerstrom stated that initiation of new members would very likely be held in connection with the banquet. Miss Bennerstrom expressed the hope that the combined events might be held during the week of October 22.

The plan would provide for a four-day final examination period to be administered by each separate department, and would go into effect immediately. One clause, w h i ch would make the tests count 50 per cent of the final grade, was definitely vetoed. The faculty will have the opportunity to vote for adoption of the new system on October 29. —o Librarian Displays Books Valuable to Doubtful Students In line with the policy of the library which is to aid the individual in selection of reading for his spare time so that it may be instructive as well as recreational, Miss Wilson, librarian, has arranged several displays on methods of reading which should be of great value to the student who is in doubt' as to what he should be reading. The displays are arranged in glass cases located in the main haU. A large variety of books on various subjects of special interest to students are on display. Further information, of interest to future teachers, has been collected in the main reading room and placed on shelves to right and left of the main doors. Here have been placed the books containing general information and books for recreational reading. o Local All-Star Cast Will Be Heard Soon In "Aren't We AH?"

Following a brief business meeting a program was presented including several piano solos by Virgil Griffen, prominent upperclassman. Mr. Arntzen, history instructor, spoke briefly on the present economic crisis and its relation to the National Recovery Administration. While an optimistic attitude toward the N. R. A. prevailed, Arntzen said, no one can predict its absolute success. Campus School Activities Reviewed (Continued.from Page One) October 25, 26, 27, Are Dates For Big Attraction Set "The tickets are paid for by the class dues," said Alois Charlesworth, manager of Dead-Eye Pete's, "but they cannot be delivered. As no one will be admitted without ,a ticket, all juniors and seniors should obtain theirs Friday in the mairi hall." ' Because there is a scarcity of the stronger sex at Normal, all the boys of the school are permitted to attend this miners' paradise. Experiments Tried Following is one of the experiments set up by the class: One child had heard that if radishes and carrots were planted into the same row, the radishes would not be wormy. So he and a few classmates worked this theory out. They planted two "control" rows, one of carrots and one of radishes, far apart. Then they planted a row of carrots and radishes mixed. Most of the seeds used were saved from the fall before because they were annuals. But when they came to plant beets, they found they had no seeds at all because the beets were biennials. When in the second grade, the children had planted a carrot root and produced their own carrot seeds. Some child suggested that beets might be the same type of plant. He and a few others were given space to plant beet roots. This fall they gathered beet seed. This led to a continued study of the gt; biennials. Cultivation Studied Cultivation has an influence upon movement of water in the soil as well as the elimination of weeds. Three tubes with bores of different sizes were set up, and the children spent much time watching colored water rise higher in the tube with the smallest bore. In the garden the pupils set up an ex-, periment for cultivation. Two rows of peas were planted far apart, and given the same amount of water. One row was hoed regularly, the other was untouched.

"The purpose of this issue", Ray, Craft;,editor of the Vikirig, declared, "will'.'be- to'deteiinine whether such-an addition to .the Viking can'be published, satisfactorily, arid whether it will be welcomed by the graduates '.of the school. It is our belief that such; a publication would, if it could be published,periodically, tend t o unite more closely the alumni who are teaching,; and the faculty arid students of the school "who are experimenting .in the educational field, or who intend to enter it upon graduation." y The supplementary publication will be "tabloid" size, five columns wide, and will coritain such material as the results of recent expermients in education, book reviews, alumni news, and stories of gerieral.interest both to alumni and Normal students: ..';•••'.' Dolly Anderson, former editor of the Vikirig, has assumed a great" deal of the responsibility of the work, as weir as Eileen Runnals, who has reached a great number of graduates through a questionnaire mailed out last week. Wave Lampman, Ker-mit Srriith, Marion Marchand, and Myrna Thompson are also working for the success of trie experiment, as •well: as the- faculty people who "are contributing articles for publication. Second Issue of Junior Viking Is "The Junior Viking", published by the training school, and rival of the "Northwest Viking' will be off the press this week. This is the second issue of, the paper this school year and is. being edited by Charles Fisher, Jr., son of President C.H. Fisher. ; He is assisted by a n editorial staff- and a riumber of reporters. All the work with the exception of the typing and the printing, which is being done by the mimeograph department, is" done-by the children of the training school • The paper contains stories, poems, and drawings, /all done by the children.

The play the difficult problem of making for ourselves careers in the teaching profession. Probably the most valuable centered about a Portuguese fisriing village. • in Massachusetts, tells-of the son of a wid- ,ow who is- tools with which we will need to be equipped to work out .'• our destinies, will be books, because all good lured t o the city by a '!vamp". Thirigs go from, bad to worse until the mother saves her son from the authority tell us that teachers meed libraries. One of the cheapest and easiest ways to begin a library is to "vamp" by trier use of "knockout drops", which she obtains from an old.sea captain. The play produced keep our textbooks instead of turning them in at the end of the quarter. Textbooks are valuable, not only because of the scope of material they cover, but also because we are familiar with them through months of association, and they will be found to be among the finest scources of information when we are in need of it. Textbooks used the two years at Normal will make an excellent nucleus for a professional library. S T A Y IN SCHOOL Well, here. y'are, studes. Can you beat it? Tomorrow is•". Memorial Day, and we get. off! kinda nice, we guess. No, we're not-irreverent. We know what this day is set aside for,' arid we think of it, too; and we sincerely •; believe in 'the idea of reserving this one day for memories of fellows who gave up everything for our sakes But still—it's going to be a swell day to rest up, isn't it? Y'knbw,' a term paper could just as well be written early as late. It would be no more work and a lot less worry... Maybe some people do write 'em early... We dunno... Anyway, we never do... We leave 'em to the very last minute, and" get our full share of the frantic., digging that leaves us haggard and worn when they are finally handed in. By handling them in this way we work ourselves into a harried, half-crazed state of mind, lose a considerable quantity of sleep,., and., accomplish in the wa^ of learning a surprisingly small amount. ..Maybe sometime we'll learn better. In the ancient and honorable language of the Chinese^there is a certain sign which is translated to mean woman. The self-same sign, taken twice,- means quarrel; and again the same sign taken three times means gossip. Interesting, isn't it? —o— By simple mathematical computation, we found that a Chinaman, writing in a Jiand of ordinary legible size,., would., consume., about three and one-half sheets of 8x10XA inch note-book., paper., in., writing "ladies' afternoon tea". And he would need to use only one character. —o— We continued our arithmetic, but we were unable to find how much paper a Chinaman would want if he were to write "Edens Hall". The only result we could get was infinity, which is a very indefinite and altogether unsatisfactory .-answer. - Of course, because he 'would still need only the one sign, his task would be simple, .although doubtless extremely irksome. Maybe, if he knew enough about" mathematics, he would make convenient use of an exponent. Anyway, it would be interesting. Some people came up to us the other day and with tremendous enthusiasm related to us a story of how they had been so annoyed by a couple of faculty members who sat in front of them at a recent Drama club play that they had been forced to change their seats in order to properly enjoy the play, and, oh dear, oh, dear, is this the way the faculty acts and so on. We listened patiently, giving occasional sympathetic glances and occasional understanding hods, and they left us, confident that the faculty at large was in for an unmerciful razzing at our hands... Shoot, we're sorry they got the wrong idea. -We're all for the faculty. i The - following description of a bull fight was , forwarded ' to the Viking by Guy Springsteel, former Normal student, who has been vis-r iting: in South American countries during leaves of absence from" his services in the American-Merchant Marine). •; I believe that the most disgusting sight that I, saw' in all Peru was a bull fight. This-is a very old Spanish sport which* is suitable .to the Spanish''. emotionalism. , Only Peru, Argentina and Mexico patronize it any more in the new world, but- it is far from dying out. , One sweltering afternoori.I walked inquisitively into the ancient; :buil ring, into which millions of bloodthirsty ^Peruvians had poured since the time of the.Spanish Regime. I really expected to see a huge stadium but to my surprise the highest and cheapest, seats were much closer than the ringside seats at a boxing match. • / • • They have a pecular method of selling seats. There are two prices; north side or cheap seats and south side or dear seats. The former are seats "a sol" and the sun, sand the latter seats "a ombra" or shade. Then they have another distinct-type of seat. You cannot find the equal in all our stadiums. These are the "custras" or rooms which cost very much and are found directly beneath general admission seats. They are used by the richer families or young adventurers. The room's floor lies a little below the level of the arena, while there is an opening out upon the field about two feet high and the width of the room, which gives suiffcient vision. • I t was rather • picturesque to see the sills of ;these openings covered with- gorgeous Spanish shawls and madly excited Senoritaswho cheered the game in a most frantic manner. They claim that one can see much easier from such a position, but I failed to get the point. The only advantage to my mind was the privacy allowed where they could have plenty, of drinks handy to help out the enthusiasm of the fight. Sharp on three-thirty, after the President, of Peru had seated himself, the chief toreador led the march of the bull fighters across the arena. Each one passed before the President to give him a gracious bow including the general flunkies or "Monosabios"—(wise monkeys). As the gates of the bull pen swung open a .terrified animal rushed out into the -circle. Immediately he made a wild dash for a red cape which one of the assistants was waving furiously. As the bull rushed at the cape the man stepped politely aside as the bull plunged into the red object: They repeat this sport several times till the bull gets wise or . sees red (I don't know which). Anyway, he Stops!. .;,:-:-."; v;:: ".''.',',..; When this stage of the- game is reached i t . i s necessary to enliven the bull's anger. [ This is accomplished by letting a "Picadore" ride an old horse out into the ring/ The animal is blindfolded, and the man is armed with a long sharp lance. As the bull sees a new object in, t he arena he rushes furiously" With a. powerful push he shoves the poor horse into the air as the "Picadora" attempts to drive his lance deep into the bull's side. The .animal gorges the blindfolded creature unmercifully, lacerating his flesh and puncturing its sides —a most repulsive sight. , This part is soon over even though it did seem a week in passing. Now the bull fighter shows his skill! He takes in each hand a sharp pointed barb which is gayly decorated. After attracting , the bull's attention by lifting these into the air he runs towards the animal; at -the same moment ' the furious beast. gallops to the bright colors. I can only marvel' at these dexterous men in this feat. As the two beings., meet, the toreador jumps into the air, and slightly turning himself to the bull's left side, he lands clear while two bright streamers bob painfully upon the bull's sturdy shoulders; They call this kind of a fighter a "toreador a pie" or a foot toreador. Sometimes they also fight from on horseback, this is a "toreador a caballo". I happened to be luck .enough to see Spain's only nobleman who is a "toreador a caballo". This latter method is more dangerous because there is the added duty of. placing a six-foot barb (instead of a two-foot) and directing the horse also. When the Judge of the games considers that the animal is sufficiently dazed he has his bugler sound the death knell. Every one hushes now! The" toreador, with the red banner in his left hand and a sword in the.right, advances cautiously. The' beast stops and re-, gards his enemy. This is the supreme moment! If the fighter cannot succed in killing the bull in one, or two thrusts he is,. according to American terms, "booed" off the field. The Peruvians are more polite though. Instead of crying out at the performer they quietly pull out their pure white handkerchiefs and gently wave them as a sigh of disgust. Venting a loud roar the bull plunges at the - banner! Quick as lightning the toreador jumps to the left side, but his sword, at the same moment, dipped to. its hilt in the beast's neck, where it touches the heart. Once more a bull is vanquished!? Again and again the game is repeated until ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 30 - Page 3 ---------- r. BERT BASEBAL TEAM TAKE* TRIP This week-end the baseball team |will wind up the season when they |meet the U. of W. Frosh at Seattle |on Priday at 2 p. m., and the- College of Puget Sound on Saturday at 2 p. m. So far the team has been rather unsuccessful as far as winning games go. They have won 1 out of $ games played. If the team can manage to win these two games •they will end the season with a 500 ^average. The team has been handicapped the past two weeks, due to 11 inch t 1 bad weather, and have only been jfcble to get in very few good practices under the able guidance of oach "Pop" Gunn will probably be fenough to pull the Vikings through tor a couple of victories.

Past-^-: Six years' struggle against odds in.grade school, coping with inefficient teaching; three years of boisterous hilarity in a Junior high school, learning nothing academic, maturing rapidly: three years of hyper-boredom in a high school, den .' ing enough school work to keep from flunking, disliking the teachers, being a "beeg-shot." - Present—: A metamorphosis trying to absorb a bombardment of ideas; a few moments relaxation, the realization that perhaps we may have been wrong about things; interesting new ideas—interesting new people. v Future—: Routine of teaching and pleasant week-ends, summers of drudgery at school, annoyance at the childishness of the "school kids"; siuffing work, dreaming about promotion, kicking about low salaries. Or—: Achievement—the uphill grade to the sunshine, new ideas, hew thoughts, work made happy work, creation of citizens, fostering of genius, pleasant contacts, growth, expansion. Which Future is Yours? y ^—-WMS. — . How can I write anything when r? eighty committees on Women's iellgue teas are meeting in the Viking office simultaneously? How can I write when we are having the first five minutes sunshine we've had in three weeks? W.S.N.S.— ' \Thith typewriter hath acquired a lithp. Thomething theemth to have gone wrong with it.

People criticize the administration, the conducting of classes, the dining service, the assemblies, and many other institutions and regulations pertaining to the school, but other than through the medium of the Viking and the Board of Control, including only its members, We have not heard of one constructive substitute offered by the students in the last year. This shows lack of originality, lack of intelligence, or lack of gumption. ^ • ——-W.S.N.S.—— Those who see faults and do nothing, show lack of "nerve". —--—W.S.N.S.——-.'

The gala event is scheduled for November 18 and 19. Curly Gross Chairman Curly Gross, general chairman of the annual affair, promises plenty of football, food, and fire. Dancing, decoration, and displays will be thrown in between the acts. Sam and Pop are grooming their charges for the game of the season with the Cheney Savages. Curly Gross It is still too early to do any amount of bucketing, but the Vikings are going into the fray with real blue and white fight. The game will, start at 2:15 p. m, Saturday, November 19. Lunch at Edens Hall An alumni luucheon will provide the food. Students as well as graduates attend this affair, which will be held at Edens hall, Saturday noon. Enterprising freshmen are looking for likely fuel for the big bonfire the night before the game. This event-on Waldo field is one of the old homecoming traditions. Other attractions are: a dance at the Armory, Saturday night, a prize for the best decorated house, and the big serpentine through the downtown provinces. . o r- GRADS TO APPLY Students Who will be candidates for graduation this year, and who will not be in attendance after this quarter may make application for diplomas in the Dean's office this week. Applications will not be accepted after Monday, Oct. 31. o B.C. REFUSES TO CUT EDUCATION '?: Flat refusal to comply with demands to cut costs of education in the Province of British Columbia was expressed by Mr. Joshua Hinch-liffe, minister of education. Refusal followed the demands of a business men's committee to economize in education at any cost. Mr. Hinchliffe stated that the government would noteridanger the child's; future by any economy program in education. He declared that educa-tio should not be considered 'on a business basis since the government is not endeavoring to make a prof it out of it. The profits of education, he declared further, are reaped in an educated citizenry and'to curtail efforts to this end would be an abandonment of one of the vital functions of government. He also siated; that the proposal to have; parents.: of school children pay half or iiiy part of the cost of education is absolutely unfair as it wotild themselves. Neither .w v »:^fof% nri^iin gt; rTi^iilili i ^tf iMiiial i l i ii ;ttfe^]£uti^ eouve* be elo«d to lt;mt «tpen»ea. Normal Presents One-Act Play for KVOSPrograiti Preston Wright will be the master of ceremonies when the Normal school goes on the air tonight with its first program, "The Valiant", a one-act play, is the first offering and Mr. John Churchill, program manager of the station has announced that he hopes to have faculty members give short talks on selected subjects during the coming year, in addition to presentations of student effort. Tentative plans have been made with Robert Becken to offer an all singing program in the near future. ."V''.. r O • — LENGTH ON FRIDAY Student Tickets Apportioned Board Meeting Monday at Athletics are to have two dollars and seventy-five cents, lectures and entertainments, one dollar and seventy- five cents, Viking sixty cents, and Social life, ninety cents, of the Student activity ticket for the Fall budget. This apportionment was made at the regular meeting of the Board of Control held last Monday October 24. Arrangements were also made, at a special meeting oh Wednesday to hold rec hour in the evening from 8 to 11 p. m.j due to the fact that the St. Martins football game will be on Friday afternoon. It was decided that no guest tickets are to be given. Refreshments will be ser-? ved during the course of the evening. Harriet Rickerson was appointed chairman of the Fall Board of Control banquet, which is to be held November 30. •- ^ o-^ Drama Club Will Present Pulitzer Play in November How long may the dead live? Alison Stanhope's influence on her family, 18 years after her death, forms the theme of Susan Glaspell's Pulitzer prize play, "Alison's House", to be presented by the Drama club, Nov. 10 and 11. It is an absorbing study of moods, this play. Miss Glaspell has created just the right touch in dealing with a delicate situation. With character delineation as her tool she makes us constantly aware of Alison's presence; The characters actually appearing are principally Alison's family.- They are engaged in dismantling the home, where she lived arid loved. The time is the last day of her century. •'. Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, head of the Speech department; will carry the leading role in the Dfama club production, while in his supporting cast appear such artists as: Dorothy Fiala,. Preston Wright, Vernon Lea-tha, Christine Alters, Ethel Page, Louise Lawrence;' Mary Evich, Roger Chapman, Helen Jecklin, and James Butler. •;•'--. \v gt;y"-.''; V ^ •'" "'":. o . ' • • - / . ENTERTAIN TUESDAY Jubilee Entertainers 'Well Known in European Studios - FiskiEt tiG^iiutb F ^ e ? j ^ ^ graduate of the class o f \ i 9 2 ^^ ata^ord University to the CaM t*-Mm*: lt;*nMtU*i lt;x theRh**» years «f study at Oxford University. One of the midst popular groups of colored singers in the world today, the tJtica Jubilee Singers, from the TJtica Institute in Mississippi, will entertain-"in Tuesday's assembly. According to advance reports, these singers are unique in the world of musical art. They shun attempts to be "arty", retaining all native freshness, the striking rhythm, abandon, and deep feeling so characteristic of negro songs when sung in their native haunts. The blending of the singers' voices and their closeness and beauty of harmony is rare. Unheard of in 1926 Up to six years ago these now famous negroes were "only another group of jubilee singers", in 1926, following the custom of their school, they went out to sing and by singing to advertise the institute. In the qourse of their travels they came to New York City and broadcast from studio WEAF of what is now the National Broadcasting company! So unusual was the fan mail response that they were invited to return again and were eventually offered an exclusive contract by the N. B. C. Popularity is Great They have gone far since then. For three consecutive years they sang, weekly over N. B. C. They have participated in two international broadcasts and have performed from fifteen European studios. Victor records them exclusively and they have made a "talkie short" for Vitaphone and Columbia. The New York Telegram both times selected them for its Ail-American broadcast as the country's foremost negro singers. __ o— Soph Committee Makes Big Plans For Quarter Hop Deep, dark mystery! "We shall not tell" seems to be the slogan adopted by the committee of the Sophomore party concerning the plans for the class hop which will be held in the big gym, November 5. June Welch, general chairman, announced that the work is in full swing and that the committees are loboring to make it the best party of the year. Bill Fisher, Dorothy Fiala, and the various.members of their committee are deep in the very secret business of decorating the big, gym. Harriet Rickerson promises something different hi the way of refreshments and Naomi Watson is expected to have something good for the intermission: numbers.

After dropping a heart-breaker to P. L. C. two weeks ago the Normal mentors have worked hard and long with their proteges and are pointing for the" game this afternoon with St. Martins College. If the Vikings take this tussle it will make their season for them. Anyone will grant us that. But if they are defeated today it will be a tough old battle to break into the win column the remainder of the season. v It is therefore doubly imperative that you turn out for this gamy*.- Classes are to be excused after 2 o'clock. Mate this a red-letter day for attendance at Normal foojpall games. There is/no excuse for not attending this Viking- Ranger m -o '—-- • •• ENTEDNORMALITES AKETOAIR V IT IS WITH INTEREST that the Normal lool looks forward to the radio broadcasts to be gt;nsored by students and faculty over the local sta- K-V-O-S. Considerable talk was made concerning this sub-last spring quarter but plans did not materialize. At the present time Mr. Hoppe, of the Speech department, has volunteered to back the project and the first program will be presented this evening from 9:30 to 10:00 o'clock. : ''The Valiant", featuring several Normal dramatic artists, will occupy the air at that time. IT IS JUST THIS SORT of advertising that the Normal school needs to present to make Bellingham "Normal conscious". We do not have to advertise in terms of the common phrase, but we do have to make the towns people realize that we have a live-wire, progrssive teacher training college here in Bellingham. . THESE BROADCASTS WILL provide an excellent opportunity for the various departments and clubs of the school to exhibit their abilities to the country at large. Rec Hour will convene at 8 and close at 11 this evening, but do attempt to hear this initial all-Normal broadcast from 8 to 8:45, over K-V-O-S. J "The first light' mpvenie^ warned him that despite the blood rising Inhis body it was no time to rejoice. rae\^ah,^ Enthusiasm for life smothered at itsfront^jctfous song choked in his throat—nostrils^sestfchtag,eagerly for the fragrance of dawn, and nauseated by the stench of war—eyes sparkling in anticipation of the beauties the new sun wlli biring-rfwgettirig momentarily that nothing was real, nothing myatteredbut the war—death and war. ' -U:-.'- ikn He didn't' want )to see the war,/-He dHrivt want to suffervthe war, he didn't wantWjsW'-thlrigs cut to pieces part by" part, torn slo%ly limb from limb to die in agony unthinkable. He wanted only to revel among the field flowers waving beneath the breeze that plays along the hillsides. . He wanted to feel, his heart leap toward the silver streaks of a glorious dawn. He wanted toknpw tiie thrill of feeling his heart pumping new young life through a restless body. ~ ; r. He wanted to live—but the war, ah, yes/the war. He was a poet—a musician—a painter—above all, a lover. But the war, nothing but the war. Beauty crucified on the cross of death—love spread-eagled on the mast of hate—tender hearts scourged by merciless ambition—brother-love drowned in selfish muck. That is war; that is more than war—it is this business of living. Money was not the little tin god/he looked to for salvation, nor was business success the mother who gave him comfort and consolation. Rather, he found life fuller and more meaningful living for beauty and not for food. People called him a dream-ex1, branded him a failure because he saw beyond the horizon. But he found himself in the midst of war and suddenly realized that despite the blood rising in his body it was no time to rejoice. He had no choice but to fight as others fought, though the attempt was pathetically unnatural because the fire of his soul was stifled almost before it was kindled. H ALLELUJAH! OMECOMING ONCE AGAIN THAT GALA day of days for Normal students is approaching. Homecoming —the word itself breathing of spirit, fun, excitement, old friends and a grand get-together. . "CURLY" GROSS HAS BEEN selected to handle the annual affair for us this season. His plans have been formulated, committees selected and all is on by the present students is its definition. Starting Fri- Homecoming. A BIG DAY FOR" THE GRADS sponsored by the present students is its definition. Starting Friday evening with a serpentine march;^ giant bonfire built by the frosh, speeches,, and a dance in the gym and carrying over Saturday to the alumni banquet, the game with Cheney, and the Homecoming dance that evening, it produces the biggestrpund of events packed into thirty-six hours that the students experience all year. "COMING EVENTS CAST their shadow before," is an old maxim. This story represents our shadow for the day when the alumni come back. Make no dates for November 18 and 19,. for "Curly" Gross, Homecoming chairman, has a big treat for you. Read on page one of the valiant stand British Columbia has taken on the cutting of education costs. The government declaration that "economy must not be practiced at the expense of the child's future,'" is indeed a forceful one and a well worth Our attention. Our neighbor British Columbia is making a great stand for education. May Washington profit by her example. ... Knuppenburg Forms Tap Class for Men In.Attendance Here Niles -Navarre, dancing instructor 3n connection with the Mount IBaker theater, is conducting a spe- •cial men's tap dancing class for Nor-rmalites. Jack Knuppenburgwas instrumental in organizing the class at the Normal, and was assisted by Marie Snyder in the Dean of Men's office. The class meets every Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock.. Will Appear at Theatre After several weeks intensive work, Navarre will present the group in a special dance number on the stage ,of the Mount Baker: theatre.

A program of activity for the year was discussed; Suggestions included a boat trip, horseback riding, and a hike schedule. The next regular meeting will be in the form of a social for members and new girls. A big time is anticipated. . • o r— Thespians Initiate Despite Weather Bare feet pattered down the staid halls of the administration building as the initiates were en route to meet Old Man Thespian. Entertainment Provided The rain did not dampen the spirit of the Thespian initiation. Although the salmon bake was to be held at Lake Whatcom, the Home Economics room ably substituted. The extemporaneous entertainment provided by Jim Campbell's tapping and Tom McMahon's music prevented a hunger riot since thejish did riot choose to;cook in a hurry. While the coffee was being enjoyed, each initiate told his name and gave his reason. for joining "the club. After stumbling down miles of stairs, walking through cold shower rooms and over gritty sand, the fledgeling Thespians were permitted to remove their blindfolds so they could put on their shoes. Dancing was later enjoyed in the big gym. . '-o MEMBERS INTRODUCED AT ALKISIAH MEETING {biuptiz yftfi "•.:•'"''.;"'':- .

Washington started like .a house on fire, but when the first string' folded, Phelan was without capable reserves to stem the onslaught and California not only pushed over the tying touchdown but scored the extra point to take the game right out of the grasp of the U. of W; Again, a chain is no stronger than its weakest link. PLAY NOVEMBER 23 Plains Made for Six Team League Using Last Year's Rules -Take. St. Martins- This afternoon, when.the Vikings and St. Martins clash in their annual battle, history will be made. In the last nine games, the local grid-ders have token four and tied' one for an even break with the Catho- . lie school; But when Coach Carver trots his warriors out this afternoon, it will be a strengthened Viking machine that will face the opening whistle. With a week's rest, all the cripples with the exception of Hogan are in fair condition and smarting after the defeat at the hands of P. L. college are in the mood to give St. Martins the battle of their lives. Anyway I, for one, give Bellingham a good chance to take the visitors into camp for the local's first victory of the season. -—Take St. Martins—— Pop Gunn and Sam Carver report that Monday, November 28, has been tentatively set as the opening date for the intra-mural basketball loop. The coaches', office has put in an earnest request for erstwhile managers to get busy in the organs ization of their teams so that by the time the day rolls around, they can have at least six squads rounded up. : Thugs Back The ^Co-op Thugs, featuring Al McNeil, Fritz Harris, and some more tdughies, walked off with the custard pie last year and are confident enough to encourage "some more good teams" to enter the race this year so that they can have a little competition.' Sam says that "he isn't playing this year because of a sore finger" and Coach Gunn has agreed "to stay out to encourage some of the weaker boys who would otherwise be leery of entering." These two gents will handle the whistle wires. Two Halves As usual, there will be six games a week and the season will consist of two halves with the first-half winners playing the last-half pacesetters for the all-school championship. Only one month left and most of the good men have already assented to give this or that outfit a break. So managers—get busy! ' 0 =—— ST. MARTIN'S SQUAD INVADE VIKING LAIR ••' W:'$7$ A (Continued from Page One) In an effort to get a line on some of the new material Coaches Carver and Gunn will usher the Intramural Basketball league into reality ths last part, of November. The league has in the past been one of the most popular intramural sports and with a host of good basketball material in school is sure to give the fans something to talk about. The Co-ops led by "Curly" Gross won the championship last fall but are due for some tough competition when Viking Manor, The Garden Street Terriors, and the Y. M. C. A. get'into high gear. —Take St. Martins—— Lives of football men remind us They can make their Hoes sublime And departing leade behind us . Half their faces in the slime. i C.R. ivBill Malmquist, Chuck' Halbert, and Al McNeil spent a large share of theu- surttmer, attending the tenth Olympiad in Los Angeles. They engaged in heavy competition battling the crowds for a sight of the ath-letes. The boys also visited Mexico adn Reno, rTev., for a glimpse of ^ti$e "wide open? spaces.- the team from Lacey. The passing attack and pass defense have received similar attention and the Saints should encounter difficulty if they should take to the air in an effort to' score by that method, whereas if the Vikings start an aerial attack the situation will prove a dangerous one for the college. Although St. Martins have dropped games this year to the College of Puget Sound and the West Seattle Athletic club, it by no means indicates that the Rangers are not powerful, as the two clubs who defeated them are of known championship caliber. . Past Scores Reviewed Glancing through past records it is found that in 1923 the college brought a defensive team to Bellingham that matched Normal's powerful line and the game ended in a 3-3 tie.' Both teams 'scored with field goals/something the fans rarely see these days. The Vikings had a fast outfti in 1924 and downed the Saints 21-6. They repeated again the following year with a closer score and won 9-0. But two straight wins were all the Vikings could muster and the fighting Rangers took a thrilling game, 14-13 in 1926. The college evened up the wins and losses by defeating Normal again in 1927, by a close score. This brought the total to two wins for each, and one tie. After losing two straight years, the Normalites staged a vicious comeback and pushed over a strong squad of Laceyites in 1928, 7-0 and then added another victory to their credit in 1929, 19-0, to head the win and loss column by two games. Not to be outdone, St. Martins won 13-2 from Normal in 1930. In 1931 the Rangers brought their powerful undefeated team to Bellingham and downed the Vikings 26-0. Consequently the Rangers and the Vikings are all tied up in a knot with four wins apiece and one tie, but today's battle probably will settle the qeustion for at least one year., / —.—.—o————- ' Miss Helen Anderson gave a buffet supper Sunday evening and guests included Edna Ford and Esther Pearson, of St. Joseph's hospi-j Name: Sidney Comfort. | Born 1908; Montesano, Wash. j Age, 25; height, 5 ft. 8 in.

Comfort comes to Normal direct from Montesano high school, and holds the unique record of never turning out for any high school athletic team. A veteran from last year's squad, Comfort is playing pang up ball on the forward wall of Carver's football eleven and is without a doubt one of the most outstanding athletes to perform for the Blue and White in many a season. Besides playing football, Comfort was also a member of Coach "Pop" Gunn's '31 and '32 baseball squad, and made a sweater in each of the above years. Completing three years work in the spring, Bellingham loses an ] outstanding athlete in view of j the fact that Comfort before, I his entry into Bellingham Nor- I mal had hardly put.a foot *: on ail athletic field, and, in 1 the belief, of coaches and stu- 1 dents alike, will be a hard man j to replace. . Cafeteria Starts New Plan Monday Edens hall cafeteria will start on a new basis Monday, October 31. A program featuring Hallowe'en will Open the new plan: This plan involves a set dinner in the evening and cafeteria style for lunch and breakfast. A limit of 30c is the price for dinner, 20c for lunch and 15c for breakfast. However, the limit may be exceeded by paying extra. ' The change was caused by students living too cheaply and buying the wrong kind of food. The new idea will ..enable students to obtain the correct diet. An invitation is extended to town students, housekeepers, and outsiders to eat in the cafeteria. Boys eating in the men's locker rooms are also invited. o Miss Gertrude Hankamp and Miss Helen Perrynian were guests of Miss Bertha MacFadyen during the W.E. A. convention. A six week's trip to Chicago and a glimpse of the Republican convention were enjoyed by Bertha Brem-nes, Bellingham, during summer vacation.

Survey Shows ----- ELIZABETH M. HOPPER IN THE FALL of 1929, the Washington Education Association made a brief study of the conditions in the State and tried to determine as exactly as possible the number of teachers in the State who were without positions. It was estimated that approximately one thousand teachers were unemployed, this figure including the experienced and inexperienced, the successful and unsuccessful teachers in both high school and elementary fields. Various teachers have combined to bring about this condition. Overproduction in the teacher-training institutions, influx of teachers from other states, economic pressure in other fields and consolidation of schools, may be mentioned as some of the most apparent causes. The rise in requirements from two, to three years, of training, with the corresponding change in Life Diploma requirements, will tend to control the first two factors. The State Department of Education is curtailing greatly the number of certificates granted to teachers who come here from other states. Out of nearly a thousand applications for certificates, only two hundred and fifty were granted last year and these were given to teachers with special qualifications which did not bring them into direct competition with graduates of the local institutions. The unemployment prevalent in so many other fields is throwing additional pressure on the schools. Many married women who hold life diplomas, and whose husbands are unable to obtain work, are seeking teaching positions in order to support their families. This, undoubtedly works a hardship on the inexperienced teachers. Consolidation is, of course, a step in the right di5rection and, in the long run, it will eliminate only the weaker teachers. The so-called “Showalter Bill,” which is to come before the next legislature, will assuredly make some changes in the methods of selecting teachers for the smaller schools, and will tend to make such selection a professional, rather than a personal matter. The over-supply of teachers is not merely a state problem. It is nation-wide. Several of the Eastern states, notably Rhode Island and New Jersey, are taking measures to control the situation. Rhode Island has but one teacher-training institution, and each town is allowed to send only a certain percentage of high school graduates to the teachers’ college, and these students are very carefully selected. In New Jersey an attempt is being made to predict the number of teachers that will be needed from year to year, and only the number necessary to meet the anticipated demand are admitted to the institutions for training. The fact that the State Department of Education here is considering the problem officially gives promise of eventual adjustment in Washington. Presumably there will be concerted action among all the states within the next ten years to regulate the supply and demand for well-trained teachers. According to the records of the Appointment Bureau during the last three years, there is always a place for a wholly desirable teacher with first-class credentials, particularly for those who have special ability in art, music, industrial arts, or physical education. By “wholly desirable” is meant one who is comparatively young, who has had four or five years of successful experience, who is unmarried, and whose personality and social conduct make her an asset to the school and community. ARCHITECT’S CONCEPTION OF NEW P. E. BUILDING Reaction to Beauty is Expressed By Children Through Creative Work ----- MISS A. L. PACKAM The Junior Viking, a training school publication which consists of poetry, prose, music and drawings submitted by the children from the pre-primary to the Eighth grade, is published by the Eighth grade and is in mimeograph form. This form lends itself to the exact reproduction of children’s drawings and its type can be easily adapted to different age levels. There are fifty pages, size 7x11 inches, with the cover sheet illustrated with a colored block print made by one of the students. Through creative work in the Junior Viking, comes an expression of the children’s reaction to the beauty and happiness around them. They are encouraged to express their feelings in written form, and by this sharing of thought and feeling with others, their power of creative work is bound to grow, Ernest Dimnet, a French philosopher, writes that all children are true philosophers until the age of ten, when the obstacle of grown-up conventions and education itself as it has been causes the child to keep his thoughts to himself. He believes that children have natural inclinations to express themselves spontaneously and creatively and this should be encouraged to continue through life. Here is an eight-year-old boy’s view of fog: FOG The misty fog rolls all around On the country, On the town. Over the church towers all around On the town. The people say they don’t like fog Because it covers up the town. I like the fog! I’m tired of seeing the old dingy town. I’m glad to see the old friend of mine - The fog All over the country, All over the town. -Buddy Lobe, 8 years. Then notice this humor of an eighth grade goy: KING ARTHUR “I like not these square ends,” And King Arthur looked around. “I want a table full of bends; I’ll make a table round.” Then he got his battleax, And upon the table climbed; He began with strong and mighty whacks; Their laughs he did not mind. The chips, they flew; the pile, it grew; And again he looked around. “Now, my friends, who’ve nought to do, Clean these chips up off the ground.” -John Slagle. -----o----- An expression with more thought content is by this thirteen-year-old girl: DEATH OF THE PUEBLO From out the dark sky the stars shine down Upon a Pueblo deserted and alone; Now lonely, broken, and yet of renown; Where once was life, now is scattered bone. Long years ago, the Indian tribesman Wandered in search of a home. And, happening by chance, on a cliff-dwelling clan, Conquered and took them for their own. The tribes intermingled and, in a strange way, They labored on dwellings, pottery, and gourds Until, preserved in dishes made of clay, They feasted that winter on food they had stored. But one day a stronger clan came their way To add to their fears and their regret; And soon both their dwellings and they Lay crumbled and fallen; - their death they had met. So the stars shine down from out the sky Upon the Pueblo deserted and lone - Lonely and fallen always to lie, All broken fragments and littered bone. -Margaret Olson 13 years. Proposed New P. E. Building Will Be Modern Structure ----- PRES. C. H. FISHER THE NEW Physical Education building will be built first of all to take care of the physical education classes and develop athletics and recreation for the whole student body, and although there will be ample space to take care of exhibition games in basketball, the building will not be built primarily for athletic teams but to contribute something through physical education to all students. There will be a large gymnasium for men where basketball games will be played and this gymnasium will have a seating capacity of about fifteen hundred. The gymnasium will be wide enough so that with the collapsible bleachers removed, there could be two basketball games going on at the same time. There will be two gymnasiums for women which will take care of physical education classes and sports. There will also be a small one-story auxiliary gymnasium, which will provide an attractive place for all classes in dancing. The plan calls for a swimming pool thirty-five feet wide and seventy-five feet long. The swimming pool will be a one-story building and will have plenty of exposure for lighting and ventilation. Under the gymnasiums on the first floor will be the locker rooms for men and for women, together with showers and lavatory rooms. A great deal of time has been spent planning these facilities so as to get the proper light and ventilation. Some recent changes in the plans have made it possible to provide small handball courts which were not originally included in the plans. There will be individual offices for both men and women instructors, and classrooms will be provided where teachers can meet groups for instruction. There will be two clubrooms, one for the “W” club and one for the W. A. A. The building is planned to be used by men and women and yet it is so arranged that there cannot possibly be any conflict in the use of the building by men and women. The building will take advantage of the latest ideas in construction and also in providing adequate facilities for a progressive program in physical education and recreation for the whole student body. -----o----- Summer Electives In Music Offered MAUDE M. SLAWSON The Music Department is offering a number of elective courses this summer besides those regularly required for graduation. It is seldom that these courses are offered during the school year so summer students should avail themselves of the opportunity to take them. Elementary Harmony, Junior High School Music Education, Appreciation, Conducting, and Chorus, are among the electives to be given. The numbers of the required courses have been changed. Music 3a is Primary Music Education and Music 3b is Intermediate Music Education, while Music 1 and 2 are sight singing courses which are the prerequisites to all other music courses. ---------- Northwest Viking, Quarterly Alumni Supplement - 1930 June - Page 2 ---------- Northwest Viking Quarterly Alumni Supplement PUBLISHED BY THE NORTHWEST VIKING IN THE INTERESTS OF THE TEACHING ALUMNI ----- ----- EDITORIAL We submit for your consideration the first experimental edition of the “Quarterly Alumni Supplement” to The Northwest Viking. If this issue receives your approval, another publication may be made during the summer quarter, and if that proves successful, the Alumni Supplement may become a regular feature of The Viking. The purpose of the Supplement, as we have conceived it, is to reach the Alumni, and particularly the teaching Alumni, with articles of a professional nature written by experienced and well-informed persons, which may afford sources of interest and information to the people who are furthering the cause of education “in the field.” We believe that though such a publication as we shall try to make this Supplement, the people who have studied here will not lose their connection with the institution when they are graduated, but will remain in intimate contact with the school and its work, and that gradually the Normal will become the nucleus of a large body of teachers, sharing their experiences through the school publications, and going to it for renewed inspiration. We are proud that the Normal school is gaining the approbation of educators all over the United States through the contributions to education which it is making. We are also proud of the achievements which are being made by Bellingham graduates in the teaching field. We do not thing that we are too optimistic in believing that if we can bridge the gap that exists between the experiments and improvements which are being made in school here, and those which are being practiced by earnest Alumni, that the fusion and exchange of experiences will be worthwhile. We believe that Alumni will find it pleasant to keep in touch with their friends and with the work of their school. We recognize the value of trial and error experience, and if our graduates offer us their encouragement and support, we shall try again and err again until we have made of this Alumni Supplement a good medium of serious information and friendly gossip. RAY CRAFT, Editor Northwest Viking. -----o----- A NEED FULFILLED One of the greatest needs of the Bellingham Normal School has been adequate contact between the school and the thousands of Alumni engaged in professional work. If every tie between student and school is to be severed on graduation day, the losers are the student, the school, and the state. If the relationship might live, and with time grow in significance, everyone would benefit. A periodical issue of an Alumni Supplement to The Viking would fulfill this need. May the success of the present issue be an assurance of its continuance! ALBERT BOOMAN President of the Alumni.

Clinging to the mesh were the scales of Desire, But the fish were gone. -----o----- Need for Math Felt In Study of Science E. A. BOND The trend of thought concerning education today seems to be in the direction of the assimilation of the meanings in the various fields and their application to the problems that life presents. This we would call a general education, or education in general. In addition to this scholarship, the individual needs specific training in the upper reaches of some subject. He does this not only for his own sake but quite as much from the fact that his contribution to the sum total of knowledge lies in that direction. Furthermore, the accepting of the facts of the investigations of others without rendering in return advance in some line seems unfair. “Hopeless cases of fine minds gone soft and flabby are so common that it is not too much to say that arrested intellectual development is the great national disease of our educationally privileged classes. Since men now in the fifties went to college the whole universe has been taken down and reassembled in a new and unfamiliar form. Science has been going ahead by running leaps.” This statement was taken from The Saturday Evening Post in March, 1929. Now, unfortunately for the casual and easily daunted reader, modern science is written in mathematics and in the dialect of the calculus. One cannot get very far in any branch of science without feeling the necessity for mathematics far beyond that which is given in the usual college course. Lack of easy familiarity with higher mathematics is a formidable obstacle between our ignorance and any real grasp of the modern conception of the universe in which we live and the life we are to live in it. Furthermore, this obstacle will continue to bar our paths until we appreciate the importance of mathematical studies. -----o----- Teacher’ College, Columbia University, has completed a survey conducted throughout the country in teacher-training schools pertaining to “Social Background and Activities of Teacher College Students.” The report shows that the American teacher likes motion pictures better than the drama, prefers musical comedies to grand opera, and chooses popular magazines and novels in preference to any other form of reading material. She comes from the lower middle-class society her father being manager of a small business, a skilled workman or a farmer, her sister is a stenographer, nurse or business clerk. She is native born and has never traveled more than 200 miles from her birthplace or visited more than one large city. More than 75 per cent of the teachers’ homes own an automobile; two-thirds are equipped with bathrooms and in more than one-half of the homes there are less than 200 books. -----o----- ----- SUGGESTIONS WANTED This first issue of The Alumni Supplement was produced after much “fumbling” in the dark. What it will be from now on will depend upon the wishes and suggestions of the people for whom it is intended. The Viking staff will appreciate letters or interviews with any graduates or friends of the School who have any suggestions to make toward the planning of forthcoming issues. Would you like more personal stories? Would you enjoy reading letters from other teachers? Would you like to see book reviews published? Whatever the features you would enjoy, please make them known, because The Supplement from now on will be in fact an Alumni Supplement.

It is socializing these activities by encouraging mass participation through the socialized Play Day, where groups meet for the purpose of playing with instead of against each other. Such a Play Day has some activity in which even the novice can find enjoyment in participation. The annual Play Day participated in by the Training School could be easily carried out in most any situation with greater or lesser organization. The Play Day of the previous year was recalled. Each class selected a representative to a central committee and informed him as to the color and badge for that grade. The committee came together, settled conflicts in choice and made other adjustments. Each grade made its own distinctive marking and invited guests to participate in the picnic lunch which was held in the class rooms, because of bad weather. Through discussion during the Physical Education period, the children in each grade selected the rhythmical activity, the games which they wished to play on Play Day. These activities were chosen from their regular work and although they were reviewed, the children were not drilled in them to the point of perfect performance. They did not want to kill the joy of playing that too often comes, through long practice for the pleasure of the spectator. After lunch and a story hour all gathered in the large gymnasium, the weather not permitting us to use the grassy knoll on the campus. In turn each grade did a rhythmical activity for the other grades. In some instances one did a dance and then inviting another group as partners. This program followed: Program Dancing Skip … Pre-Primary Did You Ever See a Lassie? … First Grade Carrousel … Second Grade Jolly Is the Miller … Third Grade Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines … Fourth Grade Mats and Pyramids … Fifth and Sixth Grade Boys How Do You Do? … Fifth Grade Girls Dutch Couples … Sixth Grade Girls Virginia Reel … Seventh Grade Girls Sleigh Bells … Eighth Grade Girls Tumbling … Boys of Seventh and Eighth Grades Windup of all Grades, led by Pre-Primary After the Windup the Pre-Primary and First Grade will continue their play on the knoll. Grades Two to Eight will play on Normal Field. Cat and Mouse, Squirrels in Trees … First Grade Gardener and Scamp, Black and White, Soldiers and Robbers … Second Grade Relays, Fire Engine, Long Ball … Third Grade Long Ball … Fourth Grade Long Ball and Base Ball … Fifth and Sixth Girls Base Ball … Fifth and Sixth Boys Base Ball and Ring Tennis … Seventh and Eighth Girls Base Ball … Seventh and Eighth Boys Service Ball … Seventh Boys and Girls After our hour inside the weather changed, allowing each grade to proceed to a designated spot on the playground to play the games they had chosen. Play ended about three o’clock with the children feeling it had been their day. In a Play Day involving two or more schools much the same organization is necessary. Color teams made up of children from each school (if there are three schools, each team has children) who play hard for their team. A spirit of mutual goodwill is developed. It fosters competition but discourages rivalry. Instead of rival schools we have friendly schools. American Child Health Association, 370 Seventh avenue, New York City, has done a great deal to advance the Play Day, and considerable material is available on organization and conducting Play Days. They are being favored in our State, bringing girls together in basketball Play Days instead of pitched battles for county championships, which so often have undesirable social and physical effects. New Industrial Arts Courses To Be Given Besides the usual required courses in the Industrial Arts Department, a number of special courses for teachers who wish additional work in primary, intermediate or upper grade industrial arts will be offered for the summer session. Special attention has been given to problems of teachers who may return for advance work during the summer session. Miss Z. Z. Wilson, supervisor of Industrial Arts at Jackson, Maryland, will be here, offering courses in primary and intermediate work. Two advanced courses will be offered in addition to the fields just mentioned. The “General Shop” idea or the diversified activity shop, which is receiving much attention in small schools everywhere over the country will be studied in a course dealing with aims, equipment, management and job sheets, as used in the general shop. In addition there will be a course in upper grade shop, dealing with electrical projects which children could conduct in six to eight hours. Shop drawing, cabinet work, and printing will also be featured. Mr. Paul H. Rule will be the instructor in a course useful for shop teachers in Home Economics, which is intended to stress the common household uses of everyday industrial appliances. -----o----- Region Offers Fine Places for Pictures HERBERT C. RUCKMICK Students who plan to go on the excursions or hikes about Pubet Sound and to Mount Baker have rare opportunities to use their cameras. The photography course, which will be offered this summer, also has excellent possibilities as a teaching medium. Camera clubs in schools, studies of the industrial significance of photography give much insight in the way of chemistry and physics. The course, Industrial Arts 5 in Photography is devoted to much practical work in the operation of cameras, developing of films and prints, enlarging and making of lantern slides. All of these activities are such as would be teachable to Junior High school children, besides giving much aid to the student in learning how to operate his own camera. -----o----- Musical Artists’ Course Has Successful Year The Musical Artists’ Course of this last season, sponsored by the Bellingham Women’s Music Club and the Normal School, was one of unusual merit and brought to this city artists of rare ability. The course offered a wide variety of numbers ranging from vocal, piano, and string instruments, to ensemble singing and symphonic band music. Friedman, a skilled German pianist, opened the season with a concert which was probably one of the finest of the entire course. He was followed by Zimbalist, a violinist who was a student of the famous old teacher, Leopold Auer. Zimbalist was received with enthusiasm by everyone but appealed particularly to the violin students. The Mount Baker theater was filled to capacity to hear the Carlton Symphony Band, which is a college organization coming from Northfield, Minnesota. This symphony band is one of the best of its kind in the United States and typifies a coming development in ensemble playing. Lawrence Tibbett, the young American baritone, who became famous over night, won the admiration of the audience through his natural, unaffected and truly great singing. He left a lasting impression that probably cannot be replaced. The unusualness of the a Cappella Choir which came to us from Los Angeles, made it an outstanding event. Mina Hager, contralto, closed the season with a beautifully interpreted program. The Artists’ course will be offered again next year and the committee in charge has chosen a very splendid course for the 1930-31 season. -----o----- F. A. Turnbull, 1919, is principal of the Franklin school in Aberdeen, Washington. Mrs. Turnbull, 1923, teaches a private kindergarten, where she is featuring work in music PERSONALS Regarding the Alumni and the Work Which They Are Doing Carrie Crippen, who graduated from Normal in 1926, is at present at the head of the book and stationery department of The Paris Store, in Great Falls, Montana. Mary Woodbridge another active member of the Class of 1927, is also in Great Falls. -----o----- Barney Chichester, graduate of 1929, who for the past year has been a member of the Foster, Wash., school staff, has accepted the position of Athletic Director of District 144, King county, Washington. Hazel E. Vedani, 1929, who has taught for the past year at Custer, will attend the University of California at Los Angeles, this summer. -----o----- Sybil L. Tucker, 1925, is director of Girls’ Work and Junior Church in the Centenary-Wilbur M. E. church, Portland, Oregon. Her work includes Camp Fire, Girl Reserve, and Girl Scout groups. Kirby L. Smith, 1916, superintendent of schools in Napavine, Washington, has accepted the office of superintendent of school in Sequim for next year. -----o----- Earl H. Evans, 1912, principal of the Lincoln school, Everett, in co-operation with the Music Department, has organized a chorus and two instrumental music classes in that school. Ruth A. Gnagey, ---------- Northwest Viking, Quarterly Alumni Supplement - 1930 June - Page 4 ---------- Child Needs Studied By Parent Groups ELSIE WENDLING PARENTS are interested in learning more about their children, and what can be done for their welfare. This is shown by the questions they ask of the teacher concerning Mary’s health or Johnny’s behavior. Here, in the city of Bellingham this interest has caused the formation and organization of study groups, such as the Pre-Primary, the Primary, the Elementary, and the Adolescent. The particular phases of study during the year are determined by the parents in the group. A leader is found who is responsible for planning the work, finding material and assigning the work for individuals in the group and bringing in speakers who can clear up doubtful points and leading the discussions. A chairman is chosen by them to conduct regular business, such as announcing the time and place of meeting, calling the meeting to order, conducting the routine of business, making reports, etc. The elementary group this past year began its work with a brief survey of the relation of the public to the schools, but soon launched directly into a study of children’s needs, stressing especially the physical development and hygiene of the child. The year’s work, with two meetings a month, has only begun the discussion of this large problem. Every community, large or small, has the same desire to know more about its children, to learn what is considered best at the present time for the welfare of its citizens. The teacher in that group can find many opportunities of being of service without danger of interference with “authority,” which used to be the bugaboo of the Parent-Teacher organization, or without the troublesome testimonial meeting. The parent must keep up with the trends in education if he is to understand the child. -----o----- Speech Clinic Helps Defective Cases A new feature of the work in the speech department at the Normal this year is the clinic for the correction of speech defects. It is the third such clinic in a teacher training institution on the Coast and the first in the State of Washington. James Carrell, an instructor in the department of speech, is in charge of the corrective work. The purpose of the clinic is to undertake the treatment of speech defects in the children of the Training school and to train prospective teachers I the methods of correcting such defects. About three per cent of the school children suffer from speech defects, according to various surveys that have been made. No figures are available for the State of Washington, but a study made by Dr. Earl Wells of Oregon State College disclosed that about eight per cent of the school children in Oregon had defective speech. All types of speech defects are treated in the clinic. The commonest disorders are stammering, lisping, “baby talk,” sound substitutions and bad voice quality. Sixteen such cases are being treated at present. Much of the correction work is done by students under supervision. The clinical practice is a part of the course in Speech Correction Methods, where an attempt is made to allow every student to take one case of defective speech. Those who have completed the course in Speech Correction Methods may earn additional credits by continuing as teachers the following quarter. Problems Are Raised by Comparing 8th Grade and Normal Aptitudes BUREAU OF RESEARCH Test Grade or Normal Mean (aver.) Stand Devi. No. of Cases Stand. Req. % of 8th grade pupils equ’l or surp. Required Stadn’ng English Eighth Grade 23.13 4.69 468 19 79% Normal 58.47 15.72 506 55 42% History Eighth Grade 44.98 17.29 804 Normal 58.03 18.49 541 64 37% Geography Eighth Grade 73.27 20.33 771 Normal 39.71 16.08 443 41 41% Arithmetic Reasoning Eighth Grade 52.15 17.42 835 Normal 10.34 3.89 497 11 45% Arithmetic Computation Eight Grade 12.51 3.41 913 Normal 21.65 5.05 562 *In English usage the score is given in terms of the number of errors. Hence the lower the score the higher the standing. For a number of years a battery of achievement tests have been given to all students who enter Bellingham State Normal School. This battery of tests includes tests in English usage, spelling, history, geography, handwriting, arithmetic reasoning and arithmetic computation. Certain standards have been set in English usage, arithmetic reasoning, arithmetic computation and spelling which must be attained by all students before they are permitted to enter upon their practice teaching. It has been assumed that these standards are at least as high as the accomplishment of the average eighth grade pupil. In order that a comparison might be made between the accomplishment of the students entering the normal school and the eighth grade pupils of the State, the achievement tests in English usage, arithmetic reasoning, arithmetic computation, history and geography were given to about five hundred pupils in the eighth grades in the following school systems: Anacortes, Bellingham, Blaine, Bremerton, Centralia, Chehalis, Everett, Hoquiam, Mount Vernon, Port Angeles, Seattle, Sedro-Woolley, and Snohomish. The results of these tests when given to eighth grade pupils as compared to the results achieved by students entering the normal school, who took the same form of tests, reveal some interesting facts and give rise to some important problems. The following table gives the average score for both the eighth grade pupils and the students entering the normal school, the standard deviation, and the number of cases upon which these results are based. The standard which must be reached before being permitted to enter upon practice teaching and the per cent of eighth grade pupils who reach or surpass this standard are also given for each test: It is obvious from the figures appearing in the last column of the above table that the standards which must be met by students before they are permitted to do their practice teaching are not unreasonably high. The marked superiority of the eighth grade pupils in the field of arithmetic computation is very noticeable. Should the standard which normal pupils must now attain in this subject be raised? In none of the other subjects in which these tests were given, are the standards set by the normal school markedly higher than the achievement of the average eighth grade pupil. -----o----- Hoh River Offers Problem to Teacher Imagine teaching at a school, nine miles of walking or horseback riding, from even a country road. Max Stewart, a graduate of Bellingham Normal in 1927, has been doing just that. He teaches a school of five students, upon the Hoh river in Jefferson county, Washington. Four of his pupils belong to one family; the other is his nephew. They have a one-room building, the teacher baching in half of the cabin. Mr. Stewart says that they have plenty of good textbooks and are not handicapped from that standpoint. The difficulty lies with the children themselves. They are intelligent, but the youngsters have never seen cars, brick buildings or modern civilization in action. And all this is right in the State of Washington. That one-half the world does not know how the other half lives, would seem true, after all. Help in Testing Given By Bureau BUREAU OF RESEARCH Up to the present time, the Bureau of Research has confined its activities to problems arising within the Normal school and the Training school. It has recently been agreed that certain types of service should be offered by the Bureau to public school people of the State, especially our graduates. These services include answers to inquiries concerning the setting up of a testing program, the selection of proper tests to use for a given purpose, aid in interpreting the results of a testing program and help in defining and carrying through research problems. The field of testing has become so broad that it is impossible for the teacher or even the superintendent, to keep abreast of the new tests, their uses and their limitations. More and more tests are being published. This is, indeed, a splendid thing, for tests must be increasingly better to gain recognition. It also allows objective testing in many new fields each year in which standard t4ests were not previously employed. Teachers are constantly making greater and more varied use of the teacher-made objective tests. This is a growing field and one worthy of study by the progressive teacher. Such tests, to be worthwhile, must be properly constructed and their results properly interpreted. The bureau is quite willing to offer suggestions and criticize any material of this nature which teachers wish to send in. Many of the problems in education can be solved in no other way than by experimentation in the classroom. The more progressive teachers in the country are coming to recognize this fact and are doing more experimental work in connection with their regular teaching. Others are co-operating with colleges and universities in experimental work. We hope that a number of the graduates of Bellingham Normal will become interested in setting up experiments of various kinds, the results of which will influence their teaching practice. Such studies might be illustrated by: The amount of improvement made by a deficient pupil when given a definite amount of individual aid as compared to improvement when treated as one of a group; the most efficient method of presenting a given unit of materials; the amount of improvement in a given ability as the result of a given project. Teachers who keep from year to year data of various kinds, will find it possible to make some enlightening and interesting studies based on this material. This will be especially true if the teacher has been teaching the same grade for several years. The Bureau of Research will be very glad to lend any assistance possible to teachers, principals and superintendents in outlining the procedures in connection with experiments which they wish to conduct. -----o----- Evelyn Tawlks, 1927, has been confined to her home in Everet for the past two years with illness. While in attendance at Normal Miss Tawlks was active in club and social activities. -----o----- Elton K. Korsborn, 1928-29, is a member of the staff of the Central school in Snohomish. Mrs. Korsborn is Junior High coach, Scoutmaster and playground supervisor. Many Agencies Aid In Promoting Peace NORA B.

TO GIVE DANCE "The Devil's Disciple", to be presented by the Normal Drama club on March 5 and 6, is the first Shaw play to be given by this organization, according to Victor H. Hoppe. This interesting drama is one of the least controversial and most dramajtic in plot and action of the plays of Bernard Shaw. While it contains, as do all Shaw plays, brilliant and biting dialogue, it sticks very; close to the lines of a well made stage production. In "The Devil's Disciple" Mr. Shaw tells;a'stirring tale of the American revolution. It's immediate background is full of the hustle and bustle, the alorums and evcur-sions of war. The sturdy independence of the American colonists, is faithfully shown; there is plenty of hustling action to the. accompaniment of hoof beat and drum beat. The play marches spiritedly up hill to a gorgeous third act climax, fully as thrilling as any Hollywood best seller: .. ' ' Mr. Shaw would not be Mr. Shaw without some satiric comment on the foibles and-follies of his mankind. "The Devil's Disciple" is a HARD TIMES COSTUMES AND DECORATIONS TO FEATURE. Another one of the famous Boy and Girl dances will be staged this quarter on February 20, a t 8:15 according - to word received from the ,Women's Athletic Association.

There is little comparison between them as to real importance and yet we dare say that there are many that will heed the superstition more than the birthday. ' J u s t about the time that the teachers in schools of the country were preparing their charges for patriotic tribute to Lincoln, the newspapers getting ready for picturesque articles on him, and the people in general dunking of many "human interest" stories they have heard on the champion, Edgar Lee Masters comes out with a publication taking the glory away from Lincoln, stripping off the supposed shroud of myths, and tringing him down to his alleged true self. This true self created by Masters, being far from the one handed down to the American school cliild: \ A s to who is right, we naturally place the answer "don't know" on record. Whether true or not true, such an article is a shock after hearing as much on the other side, and is bound to make us wonder. The cleverest little tribute that we have on hand today was written by Grayi, and follows, "Washington may have been the father of our country, but if it hadn't been for Lincoln, he'd have been the father of twins." And \a final warning, don't walk under a falling ladder! $ jiitor ij; ;$h^jiiif^^ •ywjio^ iis i'oftenv t'^ January 8 to Jaimary ;i3; is kripwn as Naticmai D ^ purpose, a di^lay^ arranged in the upstairs hall of the horary; ^:^;'?};- '• '• •':'. -.^ -'-.: lt;?•:],'~':: •'••/• 'This case includes books with such: interesting; t i t l e s a s L Sump'n Like Wings, Cupid and Common Sense, LUiom, Holiday, The ^wakening of Spring, Sister Beatrice, , arid Fata Morgana..;/''- '"'...' •-.

Although they took the streetcar out, because of heavy food boxes to carry, the group aralked back. Good food and excepWfcal weather, combined to put e\^Bone in real spirits for future hikes. - o MEN END SEASON LAST REGULAR MURAL EVENTS HELD IN GYM YESTERDAY. A former student of the Bellingham Normal, who is now one of the outstanding coaches of the United States, was a visitor in Seattle a few days ago. This being none other than Dick Hanley, head football coach at Northwestern University. He attended the Normal in 1912 and played end for the Normal along with Sam Carver, local mentor. Finished at Pullman After Hanley left the Normal school he finished his college course at the Washington State College at Pullman. While there the war broke out, and he enlisted in the U. S. Marines and was stationed at Mare Island. Feeling the urge to handle the football again, he organized a team among the Marines. This team waded through all Pacific Coast opposition and gained Hanley much renown in the sporting world. After the war he took over the coaching reigns at Haskell, where he put out a championship team the second year he was there. Haskell kept Hanley for three years and would have kept him longer had not Northwestern made a bid for his services. Coast Turn This year there has been considerable talk among the sporting element to the effect: that Hanley would be r the successor to John (Nibs) Price at the University.; of California. But Hanley quieted all such rumors by stating that he was well satisfied where he is now- Hartley, coached the East 'in the Shrin-. ers'; annual veast-west game. :-;::'v;'-.v gt;'';;:. ;;^:.J;,'.

In the second half, Davie Jones' quintet ran wild and dropped "them" in from all parts of the floor and finished the game with.the Co-ops trailing 15-28.

In this play Shaw has not, as* in other dramas made his people into puppets to preach his gospel over the footlights. He gt; has been satisfied to let a group of humans, average people, live out their own story in their own way.

It is •right out in front now with the Philos and Thespians, leading the league for the second half. Myron Chandler, "The Love Bird," came through and made twenty-five out of twenty-five free throws while practicing in the gym one afternoon. He did this after Rork had .finished taking his free throws that count in the foul shooting contest. After shooting twenty-five straight, Sam Carver told him to keep on shooting and see how many he .could make. Chandler stepped up to the-foul mark and shot his twenty- sixth one and missed it. f With the 33 to 22 defeat handed to them by the Y. M. C. A. five the Jayvees are out of the championship 1 running. They lost all chance for a ^r^^jjje^in the league because of the de- .•'Ifeafes Tiie Y. M. is out in.front now with only one more game to play for the second half title. If they win they. Will-play the Bostrom Service team in. a three-game play-off to , decide the league, championship. What say to a little guessing about the final score of the game tomorrow night. Let's say a difference of 10 points. Meaning that the Frosh will? win by a score of 40 to 30? Who's going to be the next lightweight champ? Cinch Young Wolgast. This boy is coming right along in the fighting game. Starting out with plenty of nerve and determination to get someplace, he is developing into a two-round technical knockout man. He is learning how to use both hands and he is plenty tough to take punishment. If taken along easy and not-matched with too tough opponents until he is ready With experience and boxing skill, he should climb pretty high among the fistic contenders in the Northwest. Young IKolgasl is Oscar F. Swan-son. He was enrolled in school here last quarter. • ' ' , — — — O - r ———' : RIDING GLASSES WILL CEASE FOR QUARTER I Group horseback riding classes will be discontinued for this quarter, According to the leader, Kathleen Horton, however, two fine mounts have been secured1 for use in town, and enabling two to ride when convenient.

'$£$ Iii the intramural league a double playrbff looks necessary at the present time before the pennant owners Will be decided. In downing the 'heretofore leading Thespians, the Men's Club placed itself in a triple tie with the Thespians and the Philos for the second half pennant. Each quintet has broken into the winning column three times and has been stopped once. Strange to say, each of the leaders' loses have been administered by one of the other two teams involved in the tie. The Philos lost to the Thespians, the Men's Club to the Philos and the Thespians to the Men's Club. The Vanadis Bragi outfit brings up fourth place with twc wins and an equal number of set-backs. The Co-ops are trailing in fifth place, with but a single win, and bringing up the cellar is the Kitchen Krew, with nary a single win chalked up to their credit. "If" the Philos remain in the playoff for the second half' championship and win, no play-off will be necessary for the pennant, as'' they have already won the first half championship. But "if" they leave it for the other two contenders to fight it out, the championship of the season will be decided in three games played between the Philos and the winner of the Thespian and Men's Club tussle to be played some time next week. With the championship as a reward, and in view of the fact of the triple tie, some very fast and hard fought basketball can be expected when these three teams get together and let drive with their final volley o:f the season. °— BUS.

CONTROL BOARD ELECTS MEMBERS Jones and Roser Made New Temporary Officers for Fall Term Settling down' to work after a summer's rest, the Board of Control, in its meeting Wednesday, September 29, attended to several important issues confronting the student-body. First order of business was the appointment of Bill Jones and Pauline Roser as Board members for the Fall quarter serving in place of Nita Clothier and Gus Pagels. Shirley Harrison was named as alternate Board member and Halldor karason, 1947-48 AJS.B. president, was made an ex-officio member. Gordon Sanstad, president of the International Relations club, presented a petition from the Pacific Northwest College Congress committee at WWC calling for the appropriation' of $100 to cover this college's portion of the expenses of the 1949 congress. The PNCC is composed of 21 northwest colleges and universities that pass certain resolutions concerning world peace which are forwarded to the United Nations. The petition was granted. PEP-PUBLICITY COMMITTEE Bill Morton and J e s s Winders were appointed, by the Board to act as co-chairmen of the inewly-com-bined Pep-Publicity committee. This committee will be in charge of handling all the : arrangements for entertaining visiting rooters, arranging out-of-town games, and other similar duties. This committee, composed of seven students and two faculty members, will select the pep and song leaders next Friday, October 8 in an assembly. Don-C. Walter, Viking band director, was named as one faculty adviser. The Board passed motions permitting faculty and administrative-staff members to receive complimentary passes to the games by paying only the tax on them. These tickets will be good only for the four remaining home . games. Student wives and faculty wives will be permitted to buy the specially-priced student activities pass at $3.

Lounge Etiquette Needed By Student Body Immediately Eighth wonder of this old tired world we live in might well be our student lounge. Our new lounge that is. During the summer the Board of Control deeded the administration of the lounge to the student Co-op. A coffee bar, a thing that last year's student body agitated for, became a reality. Now that the lounge has been turned into a student center where all students can meet and drink the black brew it is haped that everyone will take it upon himself to observe all the rule of lounge etiquette." "Lounge etiquette" is nothing more than acting normally and behaving like a civilized college student. In placing all of the new equipment in the lounge, the Board of Control received warnings that it was useless to expend funds to purchase newer tables because they would be broken down within a few months. If this does happen, it will be the end to all such ventures as far as further expenditures are concerned. The new lounge is for collegiate ladies and gentlemen—this only means you have to use common sense and common courtesy. Remember that the lounge belongs to all the students. Everyone likes to see that the coffee bar is clean and neat yet this is an impossible task if all students do not wish to cooperate. Let's make this a voluntary effort to keep the lounge the meeting place of the entire student body. Frosh Show Fighting Spirit And Plenty of Real Pep Editorials on school spirit and school pep are a dime a dozen but something should be said for the display of spirit that was evidenced at the Linfield game last Saturday night. The Frosh were very much "on the ball" at the game considering that they had only one practice in which to learn the school yells. Judging from the number of blue beanies being shown about, one can see that there is an attempt on the part of the Frosh class, to show their newly acquired school spirit. Nothing is more welcome to this college than the breath of fresh air being blown by the enthusiastic newcomers who throng our campus. While the subject of school spirit is being harped upon, the band might come in for some of the gravy. The performance given Saturday night really set the pace for the biggest year that WWC has ever had. Mr. Walter is planning to have the band perform equally well at the Eastern game here in two weeks. If the whole student body would learn the words to the yells that we are going to use and if they would only whisper them at the games it would make a whale of a noise! Get in and learn those yells and learn the words to that new fight song, "March of the Vikings." Show your spirit this year, make your college the best in the state! Hoban Will Appear At Concert Here Stanley Hoban, baritone, will appear in the second of this fall's Artist and Lecture series, on Tuesday, October 5. Mr. Hoban is a native of Scotland and came to Canada following World War I, where he met his wife, Gladys Wateon, who has been his accompanist in his concert and radio programs.

Written with the thought in mind "As the compass is to the the sea captain, so the Navigator is to the incoming student of WWC," the Navigator contains useful and sometime much needed information. Containing first of all, welcomes from Dr. W. W. Haggard, Gus Pagels, ASB president, and Ruth Soderstrom, AWS president, the Navigator serves to make frosh feel more at home. It goes on to describe the student housing—Edens hall.and Senior hall for women, and Men's Residence hall and Daniels hall for men, also living quarters in private homes. Information on Student Employment, Health Service, the Library, Student Loans, and the Student Co-op is also included in the section ''YburHome.^ Smoke Clouds Lift, Bottles Disappear As Lounge Transformation Appears •U distinguished hi the theatre and in literature. His father was a prominent actor who toured with Sir Henry Irving and his great-grandfather, William Cameron, w a s a noted Scottish poet. Prior to three years' service in the British Mercantile Marine, he received his musical education from Herbert Witherspoon, famous bass of the Metropolitan Opera, with ,whom he studied in New York and Chicago. Lauded as Canada's top ranking baritone, his appearances in recent years have added lustre to this reputation. Opera has claimed much of Stanley Hoban's time. "The Vagabond King," "Rose Marie," "The Desert Song," and "The Firefly" are some of his successes and in London he sang one of the leads in "On Your Toes." His repertoire includes, besides operatic roles, early Italian songs, Lieder, folk songs of many countries and contemporary- American and English program songs. A very pleasing personality adds to the artistic and musically sound interpretation of his songs. The mystery of Australian bush songs, the gay warmth of Czechoslovakian folk tunes, the deeply romantic feeling in modern opera hits, as well as reliable classics, can be heard on a Hoban program. Students Aid Turvill Fund During the summer session, two year old Stanley Turvill was badly Injured when he fell from the balcony over the swimming pool in the PJJ. building. Stanley is the son of Mrs. Esther Turvill who was attending school at the time._. To offset this financial burden the students of the summer quarter contributed to the Turvill Fund under the direction of Bessie James. With the aid of Th6 CoUegian staft and CCF the fund reached $170.00. By HARRY PAGELS Sophomores! Juniors i Seniors.

All of the girls from Blessings, the "Y.W.C.A7 and Murk's are eating here this year. We enjoy having them very-much. We also hope the feeling is mutual. We are just about to start a gravel pit down at Senior hall with all the "rocks" collected this-.summer by Mimi Anderson who is engaged to Bob Ew-ing, Lois King to Jim Kent, Betty Butler to Johnnie Eager ,and June Penn to Prank Iraola. Wedding bells rang for Gladine Simpson and Joe Borek, Ellie Wilbanks and Bob English, Dorothy "Taj" Graver and Bill Barnett, and Kathleen Brodahl and John Kanaar. And the rest of us remain just hoping. P.

And Jim Kent and "Red" Morton have taken the first step. And Bowden without a beard —Eeek! There are some faces missing. Motherly Mrs. Bagley is no longer here to sew buttons, press shirts, etc. I guess there was something else missing on Monday night. At least Big Mac was looking high and low for something and I don't think that it was basketball players. I hear that he found some interesting things, though. Take care, fellas.

Ron Rasmussen played t h r ee years of football and three years of baseball for Ballard high school in Seattle, arid he was one of the outstanding stars in the city-state football meet of 1947. Ron stated in his interview, "I thought something like this couldn't happen to me—it would always be the other guy, you know!"

STANDAI ROYAL TYPEWRITER ;.V;H- 217 E, »illy :^.'; Season's First Pigskin GonfiiSi Sees Viks Skin Wildcats By KEITH Western Washington's Vikings rolled to a 37-6 victory over the Linfield Wildcats at the Girard street stadium last Saturday night, September 25. After being held inside their own fifty during the first quarter Coach Lappenbusch's gridiron squad uncorked a ground offensive in the second quarter that sent Jack Mc- Stott twenty-one yards for the first touchdowji. Walt Clayton converted to make the score -7-0. The second touchdown came when a ground attack led by Jerry Karn-ofski, Frank Gayaa and Tom Poe sent Poe over the two yard line to end the half with the Viks on top 13-0. In the third period Karnofski threw a twenty yard pass to Hal Partlow. Partlow went over the goal line to raise the score to 19-0. Later in the same quarter McStott and Poe set the stage for Roy Richardson. Richardson in turn slashed over from the four. Early in the fourth quarter Tony Taylor galloped 27 yards to the Linfield 15 where Richardson out-sprinted the Linfield ends to chalk up his second tally and make the score read 31-0. Linfield showed a small spark of life late in the fourth quarter when they gathered in a Viking fumble on the Western nine.

Besides receiving a host of newcomers, Dr. Lap holds one of the largest groups of lettermen in the Evergreen league. Winners on the 1947 Vik squad back for more are: Clayton, Keown, Smith, Dodge, Poe, Lindbloom, Brevik, Keehr, Stout, Partlow, Kent, Karnofski, McStott, Yonlick, Webber, Salsgiver, Svidren, Scoll, Simpson, Cline, Moulton, Fones, Frazier, Thornton, Gayda, and Niegaman. Look out rivals— * * And now to the league conference, which, and 'We think you will agree, looks pretty much like a tough nut to crack. As a preparatory game for tougher things to come, the hilltoppers will venture northward tomorrow to invade the den of the UBC Thunderbirds. As Dr. Lappy recently stated, and we quote: " / / we can't lower the boom on the "Birds," we may as ; well not even bother suiting up for the remainder of the season. If we don't beat them, we certainly won't outscore East- \ ern Washington in our conflict with them here next week. Indications show from scrimmage, however, that the Viks are out to win and are prepared for anything, or anybody., that comes up. Whether we are good enough to beat Cheney on the ninth can only be concluded at the final gun ending that game. We are certainly not licked at any rate until then." * * From certain sections of the athletic department come reports of a vast need for publicity of the new Evergreen conrerence. It seems that large majority of the townspeople of Bellingham don't quite realize the brand of ball handling now being used in this conference. The need for : a college stadium and a covered stand are two of the greater problems necessary to draw record crowds. Coach Lappenbusch reports that covered stands would help our situation greatly. Season tickets could then be sold, for more and more people would then be sure to attend the games merely because of the assurance that they would have a drier and better place to sit. This would also cut the athletic budget worries in half. Less than $1200 was taken in during the Linfield game, while a sum considerably larger would be necessary to have a larger league team play here. Let's have some comments and suggestions on»this topic. * • Too bad it was necessary to cancel the train trip to UBC tomorrow but most of the purses are a little wrinkled after the necessary fees were taken out this week. For those who are able to make the trip via car or otherwise, we hope that they conduct themselves in a fairly orderly manner. Seems as though there was a small amount of disorder at last season's UBC game. (Yell like Hell and we'll forgive you.) ISridsters Again IPick Lindbloom " Mel Lindbloom, veteran Viking quarterback, has been elected team captain for Western's 1948 gridiron (Campaign. Mel, a junior, is a veteran of three years in the Navy. He is married and has no children.

Although the Thunderbirds have only recently adopted speedy American football, the past two years have raised this sport up to first place on their calendar. Much of this upswing can probbaly be credited to Coach Don Wilson. Wilson is a graduate of Linfield college in Oregon, where he was a major athletic award winner and promising coach. He brings the "Birds' 'out this season backed by the "T" formation. Although the "T" is something new to their brand of ball handling, it is something which they expect to pay off on the gridiron in a big way.

Reviewer Pierron ....The unporsunonious paradigms of professor John Dewey, outstanding educational philosopher, whose works necessitate., quick., paregoric, are., unquestionable., evidences of a narenchymous condition of the cerebral cortex... His style is but a passe-partout enclosing a space devoid totally of substance, his ideas are inherently ridiculous, and his thought shows advance pejoration. .. W.S.N.S. Sport Columnist Hoppe We like the recreational program. We think it is swell. It is a lot of fun. We wish more people would use it. I t is for everybody. Why don't you use it? —and you?—and you?

Board Organizes Game Contests As Rec Program Plans For School Tournament In Bridge and Pinochle Already Made Burns to Play March 1 Normal Student Will Be Chosen Dancing Instructor Among the questions confronting the members of the Board of Control at their February 20 meeting were those concerning the recreation program, Normalstad, Campus day, and rec hour orchestras. They decided to introduce a series of tournaments in connection with the recreation program. Lists will be placed on the bulletin board for persons interested to sign. Plans are already under way for bridge and pinochle tournaments and further arrangements will be made for other games as soon as interest in such is apparent. I t was also definitely decided that the Board should elect a student dancing instructor at the next meeting. Applications for this position must be handed to Gordon Richardson, secretary to the Board, by noon Wednesday, February 27. Gordon Millikan, president of the Associated Students, appointed Oscar Svarlien as chairman of a committee on the development of Normalstad, the tract of Lake Whatcom property owned by the ASB. The duties of this committee include investigation into the cost of putting rowboats at the disposal of the students and means of transportation to and from the city. The Board voted to hire Jack Burns' orchestra to play for the rec hour, Friday, March 1, and decided to make no permanent choice of musicians until next quarter. The naming of the chairman for planning Campus day was postponed until the next meeting. Journalist To Speak DR. EMIL LENGYEL The words of Dr. Emil Lengyel, Hungarian journalist, lawyer, author, and publicist should be of special interest to social science students when he lectures here March 1 • in assembly. A regular writer for the New .York Times, he has also contributed to the Nation and Current History and is the author of several well-known books. Cast Working On Finishing Touches Of Twelfth Night' Members of Play Production Class Working on Stage Settings For Coming Play "With less than two weeks to complete finishing touches on 'Twelfth Night,' the cast is putting forth every effort to make the play a success," says Faith Scheyer, student director of the play which will be presented by the Speech depart ment March 7 and 8. Measurements for costumes are now being taken. Miss Helen McKenzie is in charge of the costuming. Erving Easton, technical director, reports that a traditional Shakespearean stage setting is being prepared. Members of the play production class and minor characters in the play are working on the settings. Robert Hartley, Maynard Ponko, Helen Scott, and Victor Dickinson have the leads in the drama. Herbert Wilkinson and Glen Greseth will provide the comedy relief.

W.S.N.S. Program Winning Favor of Students Ping-pong, the most exciting and fascinating of indoor sports, is the leading amusement on the recreational program at Edens Hall. Bridge and checkers follow next in popularity. "It was thought that bridge fans i would find it a good opportunity to exhibit their skill, but as yet they have not been very numerous. However, interest is taken in the other games. As there are few activities this week-end, it is believed there will many students using the facilities at the dining hall. Klipsun Reports Progress Made Staff Hopes To Finish Write-ups By End of Winter Quarter; Pictures Taken Approximately two-thirds of the pictures for the Klipsun have been taken, and pictures of the Viking staff, Board of Control, and Klipsun staff have been received and mounted. Articles that are being written now include the President's message, and write-ups about the chorus, orchestra, Board of Control, student body officers, Northwest Viking staff, intramural basketball, and school clubs. The staff hopes to finish the write-ups by the end of this quarter. Editors of the different departments report that the work is progressing on schedule. Special writers for the Klipsun are Beth Hankins, Helen Hostetter, and Stuart Fresk. Movies Invading College Classes WSC Director of Business ministration Sees Great Possibilities Ad- "The movies have invaded college classrooms," observed Dr. Gordon F. Cadisch, director of the school of business administration of Washington State College. Students of shorthand or typing at the State College may now see the development of their skill illustrated in both regular speed and slow motion picture films. The films have proven highly practical and are now a regular part of the college secretarial science curriculum. Dr. Cadisch has received about 500 inquiries regarding the project from every state in the Union and from Holland and Hawaii. The films are being used by schools in 25 states, and have been exhibited at teachers' meetings in 14 states. "The pictures have met with wide success," state Dr. Cadisch, "Movie-land has justified its position in educational institutions." Round-up Is Chosen Theme for Playday Ruth Pearson To Be Chairman Of Annual W A A Affair WAA's annual high school play day scheduled for March 2, is being planned to follow the general theme of a round-up.

IRC Has Initiation For Winter Quarter The International Relations club held its formal initiation for the winter quarter last Wednesday evening in the Edens hall club room. A short business meeting was held before the ceremonial. Roger Mullen, president of the club, presided. The following members were taken into the club: Anne Matheson, Irene Dinsmore, Wilma Meyer, Paul Tompkins, and Virginia Davenport. After the initiation ceremony, the problems of Japan were discussed by the members of the club.

Miss Albers modestly hopes to be "some kind" of a musician some day. Ed Wynn is the lucky man that holds her highest admiration and she confesses that her chief ambition is to laugh like the comedian. Miss Albers believes that "Early to bed, early to rise, will make a girl healthy, wealthy, and—a personality contest winner. Anyway, she attributes her success in school to the policy of arising at eight each morning and retiring at eight-thirty each evening.

Waste Pencils Not Breath • Assembly programs have been repeatedly criticised during the past few years. Whenever there is the least provocation for ridicule of a program one does not have to search to find students who express their views, without apology, on the time that has been so completely wasted. These students seem to feel they would be far superor to the faculty program committee ,111 choosing entertainers with real talent. Yes, indeed! They would have more student performers, better musicians, more interesting lectures, and even fewer vocalists. But why all the heckling that is going on? Some students seem to feel that the faculty committee dote on giving us a certain type of program. Others are forever harping on a chance for students to have a say in choosing talent. In our recent election we made assembly programs an issue and a platform, when it is a well known fact that nothing has ever been accomplished on this subject in the past under the jurisdiction of the Board of Control. The solution to the problem is apparently simple, just find the point on which the majority of the students agree and the ensuing assembly programs will all have a 100 per cent student body in attendance; or. perhaps better still, find the grounds on which the majority disagree, and delete that type of program .entirely. On the other hand, however, we might be surprised to find that the taste of the majority is not to be trusted. It is reasonable mat we let those in charge of assemblies know our likes and dislikes. The Northwest Viking would be glad to help out in this respect by publishing short student opinions on the subject, believing that one written and signed opinion is worth a dozen of the locker room variety. Vikings Victorious Pity the Poor Tramp Written by the Viking Week Enders Indefensible as billy-goats, They knelt and coyly bowed their heads. Two old maids went for a tramp, And their eyes glittered with a deadly hate. It was beyond compare; And the wind still blew like hell. Student Opinion Editor, the Viking: Billiards is the most aristocratic of indoor sports. Pool is a bit more vulgarly plebian but it is nevertheless enjoyable. Why not invest in a few billiard and pool tables for the recreation program? They cost quite a bit but so does football, and billiard and pool tables are much more durable than football teams and equipment. With the possible exception of chess, billiards is the most dignified of sports and dignity seems to be recently desirable in our extra-curricular activities. Sincerely, BILL PIERRON GEORGE LOVOS HARRY GOHEEN — o AT the THEATERS By Katherine McDonald Hear-ye, Normalites — even if you have to live on chili and toast next week, don't miss "David Copperfield," one of the finest cinemas of the day—coming to the Mt Baker. This long-popular novel will run on the screen for two hours. W. C. Fields makes a magnificent Mi-cawber, Freddie Bartholomew, the perfect picture of David the boy, and Frank Lawton, the man-sized David. Other excellent character portrayals are made by Lionel Bar rymore, Edna' May Oliver, Lewis Stone, Maureen O'Sullivan, Madge Evans, and Roland Young. "David Copperfield" promises to be a real treat! Not only is "Faust" an integral part of our Frosh classes here, but the operatic tale of Doctor Faustus, the Devil, and the beautiful Marguerite is an institution in the field of grand opera. The strains of SiebeVs aria and "Soldier's Chorus" have resounded through the walls of the Place de VOpera at Paris since 1859. If you really want the answer to the question suggested above come to the game tonight. You don't even have to don your best bib and tucker, as it's not at all formal . . . just put on a little cheer and fill up with pep. That's all it takes. o Student Opinions Editor, The Northwest Viking: In the controversy over military drill in our schools two different schools of thought are participating. One school ,the Pacifistic, theoretically believes the security of the United States and other nations of the world lies in the working of present or future peace machinery; the other, Militaristic (if you will), does not except any theory of the inevitability of war, but subscribes to the theory of the possibility of war. In view of the fact that there is always the possibility of a war, is it not reasonable that the United States should have an adequate policy of national defense? The Organized Reserve draws its officer personnel mainly from graduates of our land-grant colleges who have completed the four-year course in Military Science and Tactics, and its enlisted personnel is mainly made up of those who have completed the two-year course, which is required. Investigation has proved that students have not objected to this compulsory military training on their own volition, but have been influencd by propaganda from outside of the school, mainly from the Committee on Militarism in Education in New York. There are a few REAL conscientious objectors, but the greater number have acquired "conscience," "thought," and "ideals" from pacifist agitators. The issue of whether we will continue to require compulsory military training in our land-grant colleges will not be settled by outside influences but will be settled by those who have graduated from th R. O. PJJ^ T. C. In a survey of over 10,000 graduates of the R. O. T. C. 98.5 per cent put themselves on record as emphatically in favor of the continuance of the R. O. T. C. The attitude of the graduates of the R. O. T. C. is that it does not tend to produce a militaristic attitude inimical to world peace. —STERLING McPHAIL What Angers Us As A Columnist Sees Things By Marjorie Goff It makes you mad to:— Carry an umbrella to school and discover that those threatening black clouds were only the smoke from the lumber mills. Discover "that all the copies of the library book you have to have for a delayed lesson are out. Find out that Phil Campbell just can't be taken seriously after believing every word he said for lo! these many days. Get a seat in the front row of a class which has a reputation for provoking sleep. Find that your few small sins have been magnified into a jet-black reputation. Cut a class and discover that the teacher gave a "pop" quiz. Slip on the freshly waxed stairs. Find that your room-mate has borrowed your last pair of clean socks. Be promised a test the day you were planning to cut a class and go home early for the week-end. Have somebody say to you, "Why soandso has a new dress just like yours!" Run out of note paper just when your prof is telling what will be included in the next test. Find that you've looked at the wrong number in Library Instruction and re-written your topic by mistake. _ -o Stories FOR Readers By Wilson Waylett Most students, particularly those intending to take part in the short story contest, should be interested in the type of story which has been appearing lately in the better magazines. Characteristic of the depression writers, most of whom believe in emphasizing social and economic implications, is Merdel LeSueur, whose story, "Hungry Intellectual", appears in February's AmercanvMercury. She tells the tragedy of a broken-down intellectual who strives to maintain his genteel mannerists, who lacks the fortitude to enter into working-class ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 February 21 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON aoi 301 VIKING VARSITY SQUAD MEETS YJC TONIGHT Viki ing Sports aoi IOE SOB INTRAMURAL PLAYOFF BEGINS NEXT WEEK What's The Score By George Lovos With only the task of picking the champion left, the intramural league concluded one of the most successful seasons in history last Monday night. The league, totaling eight teams, played a much faster brand of ball than usual and there were more than the usual run of outstanding teams. I n the play-offs are two teams each who won their half of the schedule with eight straight victories. The Northwest Viking five has more scoring punch, but the Southpaws are the better defensive team. (Just what happens when classy shooting meets good hard checking remains to be seen. It looks like a toss-up! * * * * The brightest spot of the Vikings win over the Husky babes last Friday night was the showing of little Danny Gagnon, the speed merchant of the squad.. Gagnon left little to be desired with the dazzling exhibition he put on in that game and assured himself of seeing a lot of action in the remaining games. Don't be surprised, however, if Lappenbusch fails to start the little speedster tonight. He will be just holding him back to see where he can insert him to the best advantage. While he is in there, somebody is due for a tough evening. * * » * Statistics and what-not — The Southpaws have the best defensive record with 18% points scored against them per game — Edwards the worst with 41*4 points against them—Bartons were the best offensive team, scoring 32^ points per game — Edwards the worst again with an average of 16% points — Highest score game this half was Mens Club and Edwards, 60 to 6— Lowest score game was 19 to 13, won by Bartons—Men's club and Northwest Vikings each scored a total of 242 points and varied just 3 points defensively—that's all! Consumers' Courses in Industrial Arts Will Be Taught in Spring "I think it is our duty and our privilege as consumers to know what we are purchasing, and in view of this fact I think the students should take advantage of the two new Industrial Arts courses offered," states Miss Charlotte B. Richardson, Industrial Arts instructor. One of the new courses offered is Industrial Inspection Trip, or Industrial Arts 36, a study of the processes of manufacturing and the historical background of our leading places of industry. Several trips will be taken to various local plants to show how the articles we purchase are manufactured. Industrial Arts 35 or Consumers Industrial Arts is the other course to be taught under the supervision of Miss Richardson in the spring quarter. This course instructs the consumer how to buy advantageously. Any student in school is eligible for both courses. They are supplementary courses to Industrial Arts 60A and B.

According to reports the collegians have a scrappy team this year and are out to avenge their last year's defeat at the hands of the Vikings. The Norsemen handed them a beating on the Yakima court last season by a matter of some six points. Previous Scores Show Equality If comparative scores mean anything the two teams stack up as being fairly even, with the Vikings having the edge if any is to be given. The Pacific Lutheran college five defeated the YJC aggregation by two points. The Lutherans were in turn defeated by the El-lensburg Wildcats in an overtime battle. The Wildcats, it will be remembered, nosed out the Vikings 21-20. Starting Line-up Announced Coach Chuck Lappenbusch announces as his opening line-up Carver at center, Pitzer and Vander-griend at the forward positions, and Stutz and Zambas in the guard slots. He also expects Gagnon, after his brilliant showing against the Frosh last Friday, to be ready to fill in at either guard or forward. The Junior college team is on a road trip now and will arrive in Bellingham today for tonight's tussle. Last Tuesday night they played the University of Washington frosh at Seattle ,and were defeated. The preliminary tussle will be between the Men's club and the Frosh. o Shangle and Richardson Win Doubles; Three Are Left in Single Playoff The last week of play in the badminton tournament ended with Shangle and Richardson overwhelming Shaffer and Jensen in the doubles final. The match was featured by Richardsn's consistent play and Shangle's overhead game. The losers had the will to win but they were not quite up to par. In the singles three men are in the semi-finals with winner of the Mullen - Lahtonen match to meet Shangle in the top half of the bracket. In the lower half, Shaffer and Joy meet to decide a finalist. As yet it is anybody's tournament with nobody ruled an outstanding favorite. o Lorado Taft To Judge Soap Sculpture Contest The Eleventh Annual Competition for small sculpture in white soap has been announced by the National Soap Sculpture committee.
