Were present schedules to be maintained and fulfilled— and who believes they will be by 1947. England will have paid 4,385 million on an original loan of 4,075 million, and still owe 3,795 million. Prance will owe 3,061 million, after paying 1,820 million on her loan of 2,933 million. Italy's indebtedness will be 1,733 on an original loan of 1,650 million, after paying 365 million. Still many things can happen in 16 years. Big-hearted Uncle Sam may be holding the sack from another war before then. W.S.N.S. For some time., now, we've heard considerable about Russia's 5-year plan. A few weeks ago we heard something about Hoover's 20-year plan. More recently we heard that Russia contemplates several more 5- year plans. Now, we're listening for D. D.'s wise crack. "Then what did Mr. Hoover say?" - W.S.N.S. Phillip Wylie—whoever he is —writes: "But I think college does more to breed stupidity by putting a premium of grades on education that does not promulgate culture." If a high correlation exists between stupidity and A grades, / returns from our recent tests should tend to inflate our ego. W.S.N.S. In spite of the fact that the experiment on voluntary assembly attendance has not proved so successful, (Could the "premium of grades" be in any way responsible?), we'll venture the absurd outburst that a system of voluntary attendance in all classes with simple grades of "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory" would result in a better educated graduate than colleges produce under the present compulsory system. —W.S.N.S. An advertisement from a London paper: "WHERE TO STAY REFORMED INNS" Eventually some ,of our night clubs and roddhouses may "get religion" and turn over a new leaf, too. W.S.N.S. Applying the Psychology of Ado-lesence to our political leaders, one writer finds that we are being governed in 1931 by minds which matured in the 80's. The elapse of from 25 to 50 years between the inception of a progressive idea and its enactment as a law of the land would seem to bear this out. A younger governing class doubtless would be more responsive to the spirit of its period; and if we were rare that the wisdom of age is composed of gray hair rather than gray matter, we'd urge that something be done about i t —-W.S.N.S. —- Conspirator j Joseph Danner is one of the f older members and plays the f conspiring priest, in the Frei- | burg Play. I ATTENDANCE FOR SOCAL IN CRYSTAL BALLROOM LIMITED TO 85 COUPLES. Rathman Plays MARY LOUISE FRIESE HEADS COMMITTEE FOR DANCE. When the clock strikes nine tomorrow night, a host of taxis will draw up before the entrance of the Leopold hotel, where they will deposit their cargoes of frills and starched fronts for the Crystal Ballroom. There, midst an atmosphere of dreams, the Women's League Informal for the Summer quarter will take place. Attendance Limited The attendance has been limited to eighty-five couples, including alumni, girls from Edens Hall, and girls from the outside houses. The ballroom, which has been the scene of so many colorful Normal dances, has been transformed into a veritable dream house, with a garden of beautiful flowers growing about it. To complete the picture, Sam Rathman's orchestra will furnish the music, and, for an intermission, Doris Forbes and Jean Mouso will entertain the guests with songs and dances. Time Lacking Because of the scarcity of time in which to make ready for the ball, only a general committee was appointed, the members, of which are Mary Louise Friese, Helen Frost, Kay Frost, and Suzanne Waters. Patrons and patronesses for the evening will be Miss Adele M. Jones, Miss Florence E. Johnson, President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Pelagius Williams, and Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Philippi. o PASS TRIP WILL BE FINAL SUMMER HIKE The last of a series of very successful summer week-end trips planned by the Normal school, the hike to Hannegan Pass begins this afternoon. The party will leave the campus at 1 o'clock, and motor forty-two miles to Shuksan, from where they will hike to camp, a distance of about six miles. The next morning they plan to climb to Hannegan Pass, where they will stop for lunch. This is said to be a beautiful place with myriads of wild flowers. In the afternoon they will climb to Goat Mountain; and Sunday morning they will climb Ruth Mountain, which is named in hon-of of the daughter of President Hayes. The party will return Sunday evening. o *,—., — H | . AUDIENCE PLEASED WITH SATIRE WORK IN CO-AUTHOR PLAY WIESE AND LOCK TAKE LEAD WHOLE DEWEY BOWMAN, AS KINCAID, LENDS SUPPORT. SUMMERS SPEAKS DENNIS CONTINUES ASSEMBLY ORATORY WEEK SPENT IN VAREETY OF DISCUSSIONS BY VISITOR. The main feature of assembly this morning was a lecture-recital by Ralph Dennis, dean of the school of speech of Northwestern University. He read "Prejudices," from "Aunt Polly's Story of Mankind," by Stewart. This concludes a series of lectures and recitals given here by Mr. Dennis, who has been on the campus for the last three days. Mr. Dennis is a convincing speaker, who commands the attentoin of his audience by his personality and by his wide knowledge of his subject. His lectures have been clear and vivid and interspersed with a good bit of humor. Not Forced Normal students and others who were interested, have had an unusual opportunity to obtain food for thought during the last three days, while Dean Dennis has been on the campus. In his various lectures and recitals, Dean Dennis has not tried to Embarrassing complications, such as are bound to prevail in a satiric comedy such as "To The Ladies" were solved, much to the delight of the audience witnessing its clever production in the Normal auditorium last Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The play was presented bye th Normal Drama, club under the direction of Miss Jennie Waugh, a visiting instructor in the Speech department, during the absence of Mr. Victor H. Hoppe. "To The Ladies," as produced under the direction of Miss Waugh by special arrangement with Samuel French, was written by Kaufman and Connelly. 'It is a satiric comedy to the "nth" degree and differs greatly from the more serious plays, "Berkeley Square" and "The Devil's Disciple," produced by the Drama club under the direction of Mr. Hoppe during the past two quarters. Compliments are due the production staff of the play in that the bits of satire and delicate irony, with which the lines and action in the play are loaded, were presented in a manner that enabled the audience to appreciate their significance without hindering the fast-movng action of the play. For example, the banquet scene, wherein each movement of the most insignificant character played a part in the satirizing of a scene so familiar to the world at large, was well done. No character was particularly outstanding in itself, a credit to the direction the play received, since each person played his respective role to the extent that the audience Disciple j Joseph Meier, pictured be- \ | low as John the Beloved Dis- j I ciple, lends several bits of ten- * I derness to the Passion Play. 1 i ML F PLAY HERE 3 DAYS PROGRAM OF MUSIC WILL BE PRESENTED SUNDSTENS ARE TO APPEAR IN ASSEMBLIES FRD3AY, AUG. 7.

Mr. William F. Ragge, an advance representative for the Passion Play to be given here next month, arrived in Bellingham this week to arrange final details for the production. On Monday evennig Mr. Ragge met with the school chorus, arid on Tuesday with the committee. A part of his time has been spent in visiting and talking with several ministers of the city. • gt;* Mr. Ragge, with his wife and small daughter, will reside at the Cissna apartments until after August 5, or the last showing of the Passion Play. o ; Gene Wallin Sundsten, dramatic soprano, and John Sundsten, pianist, will give an interesting and entertaining program in assembly, Friday, August 7. These musicians are two of a talented family who have enraptured many audiences with their simple, but dignified and beautiful, programs. P.-I. Comment Everhart Armstrong, of the Seattle P.-I., writes of their recent performance at the Swedish Baptist church in Seattle, "Of memorable beauty was Gene Wallin Sundsten's version of the dramauc aria, Pace, pace, mio Dio,' from Verdi's 'La for-za del Destino,' with her gifted husband, John Sundsten, at the piano. A soprano voice of nne quality, voluminous and edgeless, was used with taste and musical insight by this well graced singer." He also writes of John Sundsten, the pianist, as— "sensitive, fluent, anc a born lyricist." Their programs have ranged in the past from simple Swedish folk songs to the dignified work of Beethoven, Grieg, and ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 July 31 - Page 2 ---------- j$^»S^ Published evtery Friday except during the month of September, by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingham. • . • Entered in the Postoffice at Bellingham, Washington, as second class matter by virtue of the act of March 3. 1879.

As we delve into its history, the originality of the company, and the value placed on it by the public, we find something that far exceeds our original rating of it by guess work. The play is not a mere overnight creation with a list of actors picked up for a year's contract, but is one with a record of years of production, and a cast playing roles held down by ancestors starting as early as 1 760. When we think of how far people have traveled to witness this play, and how it has been listed among the highlights of events for tourists to see on their foreign trips, we certainly have something to look forward to. Additional interest should be derived from the fact that chorus work and "mob scenes" are being furthered with local talent. The show deserves the support of all, while a "chance of a lifetime" will be passed up by those who do not trek to one of the performances. o If someone would just complete a careful survey showing whether or not it is harder to obtain grades in the summer than in any other quarter of the school year, it would save hours of bickering and discussion among the summer school students as well as those attending the other sessions. We'd certainly publish it and hope that all would forever hold the peace. P R A I S E W E E N T E R T A IN An item that we have often thought of, one that we have written comment on, and one that has caused us to wonder if it is ever considered "off the hill" receives attention in an editorial appearing in last Sunday morning's Herald. The editorial deals with the Passion play that comes to Bellingham soon, while in the first paragraph speaks in terms of our sentiments thus: "Again the people of Bellingham will thank the Normal school for bringing to this city a n entertainment which, save for its sponsorship, would be denied ;them. Reference is made to the famous Freiburg Passion play, to be presented at the American theater." . . . etc. We have previously fostered the idea in these columns that if perfect co-operation can be maintained between the Normal school and the people of Bellingham, much can be derived for the benefit of both. There are many things, particularly in the category of high class entertainment features, which can be obtained for this city if there is just a solid body to act as a nucleus in supporting them. Time and again now the Normal school has provided that foundation. It is right in line with the type of thing that school officials are continually arranging for the students, so that they will go out into the teaching and other fields having been exposed to the classics in music and the thoughts of nationally known educators and lecturers. It is elevating for the city to be able to have noted musicians and lecturers brought here sometimes by the school alone and other times through the co-operation of the school and city clubs. In turn it is essential that the school possesses a patronage from the outside, for without this it would be handicapped. Let the good work go on. o With the Drama club play, like any other event on the school calendar that we look forward to and make plans for, it is a certain amount of satisfaction to realize that it is completed and we can go on to the next event. However, the actors and officials of the play probably are the ones to really enjoy the recess following weeks of preparation and trials to be culminated in two big nights. . o According to our philosophy, the Informal slated for tomorrow night should be a°decided success. We base our judgment on the fact that it was just decided a week ago to have the dance and it is taking a certain amount of feverishness to complete the arrangements. When something is put over with a bang, linked with determination for speed, it usually goes over better than when everyone plans on it for weeks and weeks. We wish those in charge the best of luck and hope that our dope runs true to form. May all enjoy themselves. _ o Local organizations and city papers have been fostering a drive to get people to take advantage of the Mount Baker natural playgrounds. With the large number enjoying the hike of two weeks ago and the amount of publicity given it, they can not accuse the school for failure to do its part. • . -o—-— \ Press reports from the East tell of the arrest of Charles Dawes' daughter for travelling forty-five miles an hour.

WE SOLICIT THE NORMAL ACCOUNTS "Public Education and American Culture" was the subject, of a thought-provoking lecture given in last Tuesday's assembly by Mr. Alfred Hall-Quest, author and educational authority. Play Doomed In the course of his lecture, Dr. Hall-Quest spoke of the American theatre. It is his opinion that the playhouse is doomed by the 'talkies', unless it shall take upon itself the genuine portrayal of life as it is today. He recognizes an original culture among the American people, a l though much has been transplanted here from parent countries. There is a demand for higher reaches of learning, he states, and he considers it the duty of teachers to see that this demand is felt in the lives of those under their supervision. - Comments on Writers Speaking further, Dr. Hall-Quest commented upon ' leading modern writers of the country, comparing them favorably with authors of previous eras. In nearing the conclusion of his lecture, the speaker issued a challenge to his audience, stating that the individual today must "learn or perish." 3CPENNEYCQ 1309-13!

George defeated Johnson in their match Tuesday afternoon and attained the coveted position on the horseshoe ladder. Johnson drops to second place, followed by Anson, Keplinger, Pedersen, Cole, Larson, Greene, Turnbull, Reeves, Korsborn* and Dreeszen. Thorsen King Thorsen is now king of the golfers; Hale, Dingerson, Wilder, Skot-heim, Thompson, Reeves, Pedersen, Gunn, Kirk, Hunnicutt, and Large following in order. Summers still rules supreme over the racket-and-net enthusiasts with Gable, Bogen, Reeves, D. Smith, Brock, Nichols, Tegenfeldt, Thompson, Pinley, Grimlund, Greene, H. Smith, Willard, Haeske, Iverson, Large, and Jones holding the respective rungs below him. The handball line-up is the same as last week: Reeves, Brock, Thompson, and Skotheim comprising the names on that ladder. University Match Keener competition and increased activity is expected in golf and tennis as teams of three men each are to be chosen from the upper division on these ladders to'meet tennis and golf teams representing the University of Washington here in Bellingham on August 5. There will be no return match in Seattle in either of these sports. Conforming to the schedule outlined by Coach Gunn early in the quarter, a golf tournament of match play will be held during the last three weeks. At least 16 men are wanted to participate. Should more than that number enter the tournament a qualifying match will be held. o TRIP TO BAKER MADE BY BIOLOGY GLASS MANY STOPS ON FIELD TRIP MADE FOR STUDYING FLORA.

The Daisies gained the lead early in the game. The Bragi had more difficulty in fathoming the mystery of socking the soft ball "where they aint," and were unable to bunch their hits when they would mean runs. Unfamiliarity with soft ball rules accounted for many errors. o GRAFT GLASS GAMPS SPEND WEEK-END AT VIQUEEN LODGE ON SINCLAIR ISLAND. POEMS —on—- Love and Biology Leaving Bellingham at 6:30 a. m., last Saturday morning, the field biology class made an all-day trip to Austin Pass. Changes in the types of vegetation from sea level to alpine regions were studied. Stop Near Deming- Stops for observation were made near Deming, Glacier, and Shuk-san, the plant and animal life near the streams being of particular abundance and interest. Small chipmunks and downy woodpeckers, the curious folk of the hills, approached closely to examine the visitors. Near the Mount Baker lodge, where a picnic lunch was eaten, the party saw two brown bears. Prom the lodge the class climbed upward through the meadows to the pass, which is 5000 feet above sea level. It is boulder strewn and rather barren, without trees, as it lies above the timber line. Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan were clearly seen, and Bagley Lake is especially beautiful from this viewpoint. Final Below Lodge A final stop was made below the lodge on the return trip, for a study of mountain meadows. Heather, lupine, yellow asters, and other typical alpine flowers gave almost the appearance of a cultivated garden. Watermelons, imported from Bellingham, also were items of vital interest here. Interest was added to the return trip by the fact that one tardy member of the class was left at the lodge and was forced to 'hop' a ride, catching up with the rest at Glacier. Two other trips were made by the group this week, one to the seashore Tuesday morning, and the other on Thursday to the home of Mr. J. M. Edson for a study of bird nests which he has collected. • o — CHASE HAS PRINTS AT SEATTLE ART EXHIBIT One of the contributors to the exhibit of Northwest artists,'-being; held at the Harry Hartman gal-. leries in Seattle, is Waldo Chase, a-f ormer - student of . the Normal schpoli ;Mr.c,.^hase,is displaying a group of color ^prints of 'the glamorous West. Twenty-two of Miss Weythman's camp craft students started merrily for Viqueen Lodge, in the Osage, last Friday at 8:30. The girls began the day by making devices of wood and cans to use over the campfire. They made frying pans, ovens, cups, and candle-holders by a method called tin can craft. Four Groups The students were divided into four groups; and each group had tye-dyed scarfs to tell the girls in one unit from the girls in the others. They spent a great deal of the time picking blackberries and cooking their three meals over the camp fire. Friday evening was spent in learning new songs around the camp fire. Saturday the time was spent in cutting linoleum blocks and making simple batique patterns, and in cooking three out-door meals. Islanders Guests Saturday evening an interesting campfire was enjoyed. Six island people were invited as guests and each group offered a stunt. Everything in the line of entertainment was tried, from charades and an operatic production called "Spontaneous Combustion" to a dramatization of "Fate of the Nancy Bell." Sunday was spent in finishing up the things which had been started. The group arrived home at approximately. 6:30 in •''the evening, having made the trip back in Captain Garland's boat. GRADE MAKES STUDY RECORDS LEFT-MAN PROVE BY ANCIENT INTERESTING. A study of records, left by ancient man, was carried on in the Sixth grade during the Spring quarter. A display of the art work, done in connection with the study, has been noticed by many students this summer. European Background This display was prepared to vivify the background of European history, which was studied in the Fall and Winter quarters. It had a manifold purposes. First; it gave the pupils a knowledge of how the early Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans kept records of the important events of their respective eras. Second; it helped to set up certain habits and skills in the use of books and other library materials. This is very essential in gaining from books the material needed in every day life. Third; it gave an appreciation of the growth of science that took place, step by step, as civilization progressed. All Included The activities included every child in the Sixth grade. After a summary of the information, concerning records, was outlined; each child chose the field in which he was most interested. In the industrial arts class, the different dustrial Arts class, the different kinds of records were actually made. Each group was given freedom to work out. the details of the particular kind of record it was making. The pupils gained accurate information through reading books on the subject. Summary The following, is a summary of the information gained: . the Assyrians . left records on stone, wood,, or ivory; some of their records are found;.onNcliffs;. the-cuni-form writing,.peculiar to the Babylonians, i was done..on.; clay tablets; Romans used soft metals and small wax tablets upon which to write; • '•• lt; '• "/•: •'•.• ,, '•. ;•.-.r-'-- •' •1'v. •'-.': ' '•:..' •:" Cheerio!

Jones, Miss May G. Lovegren, and Miss Ethel G. Church motored to Vancouver, B. C, Monday night, to attend the opening performance of the Freiburg Passion Play. They reported a very delightful program, and they are looking forward to a nice perr f ormance here. o DEAN RALPH DENNIS HERE FOR LECTURE CLUB PLAY SCORES ; HIT ON TWO NIGHTS (Continued from Page One) PASSION PLAY WILL :•- gt; BE HERE NEXT WEEK (Continued from Page One) (Continued from Page One) truly felt it was looking Igrjja while at a cross-section of the Beebe household. Elsie Beebe, as done by Cornell Wiese, was much aware' ofj the weaknesses of her husband, Leonard Meebe (Franklin Lock), and sought to help him with her woman's intuitiveness, the keynote about which the play revolved. Dewey Bowman' portrayed the part of Mr. Kincaid, the successful business man who owes his success (far be it from him to admit it) to his wife (Caroline Conner). Many were the laughs accorded Phil Sisk, as the vaudeville aspirant, Chester Mullin. The interpretation of the minor roles in the play was responsible to a great extent for the success of the production. The players in these roles were: Charles Gerold, as Tom Baker, Leonard Beebe's rival for the position of head clerk; Jack Falkner and Karl Decker, as truckmen sent to remove the piano from the Beebe home; Bill Bowen, Lyle Summers, and Colin Campbell, as speakers at the annual dinner of John Kincaid's Sons; Evelyn Swalling, as the stenographer; Thomas Large, the barber; and Mr. Herbert Ruckmick, as Pegliovich, the photographer; Carrie Ann Tucker, Bertha Scheib-ner, Virginia Schmitt, Arthur Irwin, and John Stimson, as guests at the banquet. Virginia Schmitt, assistant to director, and Karl Decker, stage manager, did much to make the play succeed from the technical standpoint. They were ably assisted by the following members of the technical staff of. the play: Bertha Schreibner, second assistant to the director; Jack Falkner and Thoma^ Large, assistant stage managers; Barbara Schmitt, property manager, with her assistants, Frances Wilmarth, Dorothy Eber-sole, and Marian Fitzwater; costumes, Carrie Ann Tucker; makeup director, Elaine Williams, with her assistants, Katherine Mounter and Christine Schulte; and business manager, Lyle Summers, with his assistant, Colin Campbell. Music was furnished by a trio composed of Ethel Boynton, violin; Paul Anson, cello; and Dorothy Knuppenburg, piano. o Contributors' Column Benecia Genther, Swimming Teacher, CORNELL WIESE READS GREAT DEAL v Has Numerous Hobbies and Pastimes force his convictions on his audience, but by enlightening information and pertinent questions, he has turned the mind into new channels of thought. Class Talks Besides speaking to some of the regular classes, he appeared in several lectures and recitals in the auditorium. On Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock he gave his famous travel-lecture on Russia. Having worked and traveled in Russia during the World War, and having visited that country again in 1926, Dean Dennis is well qualified to speak on this subject. He told how the Russian revolo-tion, based upon class hatred, had caused not only the fall of the government, but of capitalism and the church as well. He also spoke of the Communist party; of how difficult it is to get into this party and stay in; and of how it is trying to spread its ideas over the world. Satisfied "Is Russia a threat or a challenge?" asks Dean Dennis. He says that if one is satisfied with conditions as they are, and does not want to change, Russia is a threat; but if one wants a new order of things, Russia is a challenge. On Wednesday afternoon, Dean Dennis gave a lecture-reading "Fathers," from the novel, "Sorrel and Son," by Warwick Deeping. This is a story of complete comradship between father and son, the main thought of which is that in all things the father met the acid test. In the beginning of the reading, the speaker spoke of the dfferent types of fathers, among which was mentioned, the "check-book" father, the easy-going father, and the stern, dictatorial type. Dean Dennis read in a natural way, which brought out the feeling of the story and held his audience. Observer Lecture The Thursday morning lecture was "The United States an Unofficial Observer of World Affairs." "I was forty years of age when I discovered that I was uneducated," said Dean Dennis. "Since then, I have been trying to fill the gaps." 1. Our library is almost the only one in the U. S. that is run on the honor system, and always has been throughout its history? 2. Not a penny is paid into the library for fines? Fines are a considered and considerable item in the finances of many libraries. 3. There is no limit to the number of books students may take out? 4. The hours of service are not shortened during summer school—a universal custom? 5. Instead of following the uniform custom of putting choice material in the stacks, the main reading room is set up with the most up-to-date and most alive material obtainable on present day curriculum? 6. When, and if you go elsewhere to study, you will doubtless more fully appreciate the library service of the Bellingham State Normal school? o He went on to say that it is much more difficult to become cultured now than it was formerly, because it used to be that people accepted facts as facts and seldom questioned them; but no more is this done. The old codes and ideals are gone; caused to disappear by the War. For this reason it is difficult to inform the mass of those things which are truly cultural. Yesterday afternoon Dean Dennis delighted his audience with his readings of modern prose and poetry. This morning at 9 o'clock, he read Act I of "The Bill of Divorce," by Dane; also, the trial scene in "If Winter Comes," by Hutchinson. As in his other readings, the thought was clearly brought out to an interested audience. stetors in their stagecraft. Then, as the drama proceeds, the observer forgets the stagecraft and is bur|e^ in the story. 1ft With only one brief intei late in the program, the Freibj Passion Play is presented in e: teen scenes, described as folio The eviction of Adam and from the Garden; The Glorification of the Cross; The Temple of Jerusalem; The Priests Conspire; Jesus Goes to Bethlehem; The Tempting of Judas; The Last Supper; Judas and Caiphas; The Garden of Gethr semane; The High Council;?

M., Switched to Education 110 at Same Time : At present 545 students have registered for "work here in the winter quarter, which extends from January 4 to March 18. According to Dean Bever, there are still about 250 students now in attendance who have not yet registered. Some of these people will not be back next /quarter but the loss will be made up by the entrance of new students, making a total approximate enrollment of 800. Change in Schedule One change in schedule has been made. Psychology 51 at 1 o'clock daily under Mr. A.' L. Kibbe has been changed to Education 110 at the same hour and with the same instructor. In connection with this charige Dean Bever says that stu^- dents should enroll for Education 51 now who plan to take the technique course ~ in the spring and do their practice teaching in the fall. He further advises those students who will do their student teaching some time in the year of 1932 and 1933 to prepare themselves now by enrolling in the course of Education 51 in the present winter or spring quarter. • Group Better Trained It is also announced that the present "S" group will be the first group to do its practice teaching under the curriculum adopted for this year and will teach in the spring of 1933. This will make it possible for the group to get more training before being assigned to work in the training school. "All who enter in the winter of Training School Gives Saint Nick Warm Welcome Toy Shop and Music Ushers in Christmas Spirit Friday Morn. Old St. Nick is assured of a warm welcome in the Normal Training School this year, when the grades unite in greeting him with a "Toy Shop," a program of Christmas music, and the singing of traditional carols. Every room in the building is gay with brilliantly-lighted trees, holly wreaths and colored streamers. Toy Shop at Nine The celebration of the Yuletide was ushered in at 9 o'clock this morning, when the members of the seventh grade dramatic club presented the "Toy Shop." This play, which depicts the sleep of a little boy and girl in the toy shop, and the coming to life of the toys, included fifteen students in its cast. The costuming to the toys was so complete as to include jumping-jacks, baby dolls and clowns. Christmas Music At 1 o'clock, a program of Christmas music is to take place. Among the carols to be sung by the various choruses are: "We Three Kings of Orient Are," "Jolly Old St. Nicholas," "Christmas Tree," "Good King Wenceslas," "Chime Music," and "O Star, O Lovely Star." This Costumed Students Are Awarded Prizes r At Christmas Party Alice Livesey and Chuck Halbert, wearing the most representative, and Virginia George and Jerry McCarthy, wearing the funniest costumes, copped the prizes at the Christmas party last night. Before the dance the revelers were entertained in the auditorium by a varied program. Aubrey Lund-berg presented some contortionist acts' Next was presented one of the outstanding dramatic successes of the year, "The Shooting of Dan McGrew," with a complete male cast. The list of characters follows: Dangerous Dan McGrew, William Buttles; the lady known as Lou, Lew Lovegren; the stranger, Preston Wright; an onlooker, James Butler; barkeep, Marshall Bacon; the ragtime kid, Lloyd Rasmussen; Vera Cruz Jim, Walter Sinko; Grizzly Ike, William Malmquist; Ace (Continued on Page Two) o Kiwanis Glee Club Debut Successful Program Was Highly Appreciated by Majority of Students (Continued on Page Two) Christmas Dinner At Edens Hall Is a Goodwill Gesture - Since everyone Is more or less concerned with the Christmas atmosphere this time of the year it is not surprising to learn -that Edens Hall celebrated in the true Christmas spirit by having a Christmas dinner last Wednesday night ' in the Edens Hall dining room. The dining hall was decorated with red candles and holly. Cedar boughs and large bells hung in the windows. A large Christmas, tree decorated in tinsel and lights stood in the farthest corner of the room. The tables were resplendent with holly and gaily-colored napkins. Doris Jorgenson entertained the diners yriih a couple of violin solos, "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise" and "Mother Machree." Elizabeth Squire sang two numbers which were followed by group singing for everyone. ' Last of all Santa Claus came to the dining room; and entertained his audience with witty sayings and the passing out of presents. Those who helped on the committees were: Decoration, Margaret Fuller, Rachel Royston, Jearieva Moore, Preida Shubert, Margaret Jorgenson,, Ruby McAllister, Inez Williams, • ^ r ^ a Wardl Esther Evans and Hazel Moore; program, Jfarydei; ^ Margaret Kendrick, Bernadette Mc- (Continued on Page Three) o —- Twenty-One Initiated To Vanadis Bragi At Chuckanut Banquet "Old Santa" was kind to the Vanadis Bragi Club at its initiation banquet at the Chuckanut Shell last Saturday night. Among the gifts to the club were twenty-one applicants for membership who were formally initiated. Lloyd Rasmussen, toastmaster, gave the club some very unique and entertaining passages. After offering a toast to Miss Erickson, Rasmussen introduced the speakers for the evening as gifts from "Old Santa's" bag. Jacob Welcomes The first speaker was the Vanadis Bragi president, Margaret Jacobs, who extended a welcome to the new members. Following Margaret Jacobs' welcome address was Howard Mickel-son, who spoke on "Values of Club Life at the Normal." In this talk he suggested that more space should be given to club activities in the school paper. Earl Hennings and Milton Field, both former members of the Vanadis Bragi, gave short talks on their experiences. Hennings centered his talk around the history of the club, while Fields told about his trip to New York. Tells Club History Miss Keeler told how the Vanadis Bragi Club came into being, growing out of the Rural Life Club. All the trials and tribulations of the club were related. She told of the fund started by the Vanadis Bragi Club by operating a booth during the Tulip Festival. After the dinner all the new members were formally initiated.. The initiation ritual consisted of a short address by Margaret Jacob and an interpretation of the name of the club by Claire DeLeau, and dancing, games and card playing furnished entertainment for the rest of the evening:.;. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Miss Keeler, Earl Hennings, Milton Field, GecU Anderson The Kiwanis Glee Club of Mount Vernon made its debut here at Tuesday's assembly, December 15, and judging from the pleased response of the audience this musical program was highly appreciated by the majority of students. Assisting the Glee Club, whose conductor was Louis Arend Helder, were Mrs. Nan Wiik, former Norwegian opera singer, and Dorothy Wells, accompanist. Songs Varied in Theme Songs that were lively and slow, romantic and religious, serious and humorous, made for variety in the program. Mrs. Wiik, soprano, and A. S. Coey, tenor, with the Glee Club, presented the famous "Prison Scene" from II Trovatore in concert form. The soprano's interpretations of "Solveig's Song" (from Peer Gynte Suite), "Fairy Roses" and "Love, I Have Won You" (from Cycle of Life), were most appealing. Mrs. Wiik sang as an encore a lullaby. Other numbers sung by the Glee Club which proved most popular with the-audience were: "John Peel" (old English hunting song), a negro spiritual, "The Downward Road Is Crowded," and "Cossack War Song." Mrs. Wiik will honor the school again with a concert next quarter. R. Walters Re-Elected By Board Bob Walters was re-elected business manager of the Northwest Viking for the winter quarter of 1932, at the Board of Control meeting Wednesday afternoon. Election of the business manager should have taken place at the Board of Control meeting a week before, but was postponed to allow for personal application. Reports Discussed Following the interview with Walters the Board carried on an extensive discussion which concerned chiefly the plan of report cf the Northwest Viking. For information of the Board of Control the Control body favored a more detailed and perhaps an itemized reportr The secretary was delegated to make certain that a report on the Viking is received each month. It was voted to sell a white sweater which was previously worn by yell leaders, and the property of the Student Association. Mr. Bond was elected to act as appraiser, and to set the price accordingly. Thanks Voted A motion of thanks was voted to Elsie O'Donnell and Nellie Cox for their splendid work in handling the Board of Control banquet held at the Chuckanut Shell last Friday evening. Possibilities of rec hour orchestras for the ensuing quarter were considered, but no .definite action resulted. The meeting was called to order by Vice President Nellie Cox in the absence of Colin Campbell, president. Sivert Skotheim was the only other absent member. —: o—• MORGAN RECOVERING IS LATEST REPORT Charles Morgan, student and night watchman, who was severely injured on the evening of December 4, while mending a pipe in the training school basement, is resting comfortably, according to reports from the nurse's office. Mr. Morgan is still confined to St. Joseph's hospital, where he was taken immediately after the accident occurred. X-ray pictures have been recently taken and his leg has been reset and put in another splint in order that he might rest easier. In behalf of the entire Student Association, flowers were recently sent to Mr. Morgan by the Board of Control. Students Urged By Secretary to Hand In More Snapshots "We want the students to get out their cameras and start taking pictures for the snapshot contest as soon as possible," says lone Shreve, secretary and organization editor of the Klipsun. "The prizes are worth while—a Klipsun for the first award and a dollar for the second, but as yet we have received only a few entries. Therefore we urge the students to begin taking snapshots during the Christmas vacation or as soon as they can." "We also want to announce that those students and members of the faculty who have not yet had their individual photographs taken may do so during .the Christmas vacation if they are in town," she states. Best Snaps Printed All of the best pictures, whether they receive prizes or not, will be printed in the snapshot section which is to be one of the features of this year's annual. The contest will close sometime in the spring at a date to be determined later. Group pictures of clubs and other organizations will be taken early next quarter as soon as the weather permits. The clubs are advised to be prepared for these pictures.

The most distinguished persons become more revolutionary as they grow older . . . . Any person under the age of thirty who, having any knowledge of the existing social order, is not a revolutionist, is an inferior." That bit of philosophy from the pen of Bernard Shaw gives us lots of food for thought. Are we revolutionists? Are we ignorant? Are we inferior? Working under the subject "Guiding the Revolution" conferences of student leaders representing liberal clubs in about 100 colleges in t h e ! United States will convene in Chicago and New York, December 28-30. The conference is under the sponsorship of the League for Industrial Democracy and has as its' goal the preparing for the much needed and inevitable change in our present social and industrial organization. 1 A r e the students in this part of the country doing anything to change or; improve conditions? Have they a vital interest in the future welfare of themselves and their country? Students, of all people, are not the ones to be bound by customs and traditions. Only by a spirit of revolution among college students can they be of service. Students in Teachers colleges are in an even greater position to do good and spread liberal ideas. If they do not take advantage of the opportunity they alone are to blame. There is no disgrace in being a radical. Any movement for change is at least worthy of attention and unbiased consideration. Socialism, Communism, Atheism, all have their good points. What the students in the East are starting to do and what the college students in Europe and South America are doing is what we must eventually do in this school if we are to keep up with the outstanding world movements. We must begin to study world problems; we must organize into study and discussion groups. We must become radicals before we can assume leadership in the changing order. Do we accept Shaw's challenge? Are we revolutionists or do we admit ignorance and remain inferior? Inlellectualism is on the decline from the looks of all the Ballyhoos, Hooeys, Hullabaloos, and other shades of "Captain Billy' going around school this week. CLEANLINESS OR CORDS? No one,?it seems, except the wearer, likes dirty cords. Faculty members state that they "detest the things." Not with the idea of defending the "Collegiate cord" practice is this comment made. Neatness is neatness, wherever it's found. Cleanliness covers more-than a pair of cords. Soap and water are cheap. Suits cleaned. Cheapest in years. "Even your best friends won't tell you." — o And the Seasons greetings to you. Make merry on Christmas and Whoopee on New Year's. Paint the home town red. So long, and—We'll be seeing you. Cox Calls for Cocktail Shaker; Santa Starts Beat Week Early Believe in Santa. Claus? And a hundred voices shouted "Yes!A Good old St. Nick had quite a collection of followers at the Normal and it can be safely guaranteed that an assortment of stockings of various sizes will be displayed before each little fireplace (or, as the case may be, behind the kitchen stove where ye aged cat has gently reposed for years) on Christmas eve.

A. made merry at their Fall quarter luncheon, held last Saturday afternoon in Edens Hall dining room. The fireplace end" of the hall was transformed into a veritable Christmas fairyland, carried out by t he use of cedar boughs, holly, snow, silver icicles,, bright red candles, green and red crepe paper, and a huge brightly decorated tree. Place Cards Clever Much ingenuity was shown in the place cards in which marshmallows represented snow on which the names of guests were printed in green, twigs of pine to form miniature Christmas trees on each one. The menu included such suggestive things as yuletide cocktail with wafers, eggs a la holly, candle salad, olive dainties, gift rolls, chocolate snowballs and frosted sticks. Programs were in the shape of a Christmas bell of red paper, printed with green ink. Varied Program The program included songs led by June McLeod, with Louise Mor-rissey at the piano, a greeting by Iola Grue, organization president, toasts, a gypsy dance by members of the tap dancing team, and the presentation of letters and awards by the president. Helen Howell gave the first toast which was to Miss Weythman, followed by Nina Johannesen, who toasted to Miss George, Helen Lund-berg to Miss Jewell, Winnie DeWitt to Miss Horton, and Loraine Shep-ard to President Fisher. Special faculty guests included Miss Shumway, Miss Johnson, and President and Mrs. Fisher. Ruth Neal Chairman Committees were headed by Ruth Neal who acted as general chairman. Decorations were in charge of Lota Lawrence, Violet Larsen, Mayme Mcintosh, Lucille Croxton, and Minnie Peterson. The menu committee included Norma Lasco, chairman, Ruby McAllister, Elva Pilquist, and Helen Porter. The program committee included Marydel Conrad, chairman, Peggy Davis, Julia Christensen, and Mary Tarbox.' Publicity'work was carried on by Genevieve Peters, Loraine Shepard, Eileen Taylor, and Violet Strandberg. o • Ellensburg Normal and the University of Idaho basketball teams divided a pair of games last weekend. Ellensburg copped the first game, 36 to 27, while Idaho came back the next night to win 28 to 22. o Down at the University of San Francisco they grow them big. On the frosh basketball team they have a six foot, seven center, two forwards that stand six foot.five, and one six foot, four, and another six, one. o The girls of Barton's hall are planning a Christmas party Thursday evening, after the school party. QUESTIONNAIRE GIVES MANY SUGGESTIONS (Continued from Page One)-- look at them they'll be so fascinated they'll forget all about calling on me!" He wants a little blue wagon to ride to school on in the morning, too—so that he can reach his 8 o'clock class on time next quarter. He'd like the money that six different people owe h im and perhaps he'd accept a new Chevrolet if someone left it in his stocking. (Rather a large hope for such a small (?) stocking!) Last but not least, Jack craves a large and varied collection of appetizing food. He added, as an afterthought, that the list was what he wanted but in all probability, he'd get the usual pair of socks and a handkerchief! Bob Cox's list is not so long but perhaps it is just as effective! Bob ^expects S a n t a ;^ pipe and leave him exactly—two cases of gin, one cocktail shaker, a case of tomato juice and fifty pounds of ice! (My! How Mr. Claus' morals will suffer.) * Jess Sutton put his forefinger to his lips coyly and said, "Yes, I do believe in Santa Claus!" He stated that he'd been downtown looking around and he'd decided that Santa could be awfully good to him this year if he wanted to be! "I don't want a top or a train or anything," he explained, "but it wouldn't make me mad at all if someone gave me a ring!" He emphatically declared that no neckties were desired—maybe a scarf or gloves—but no necktie! He wants, most of all, his pay check. "If I have that," he said, "I won't need to wait for Santa I can be Santa myself." Howard Michelsoh wants a teddy bear. (Isn't that just too cute?) "I also want that pair of skis I've been waiting for so long!" he said with a rather worried look, "I've decided to go skiing over the vacation— and I think I'll need them." If his appearance is to be kept up, he must have an "electric iron-er" to iron all his shirts. He's also asked Santa to leave him a good cook who can also do a good job on the dishes. (Cupid, my boy, not Santa!) , It can plainly be seen that poor old Santa should have started last Christmas to fill the requirements laid before him. It certainlywin tie too bad if the depression has :iDeac3rir ed;;h'te;yiciri^.;:^:^ as nearly all the activities of the school should be the first requisite of the newspaper. Secondly, but not secondarily, I believe that the editorial columns should represent a well thought out, fairly mature, student or staff point of view on school life and problems that lie ahead." Students Give Comments Many students responded to the request for suggestions and a number, as in the case of t he faculty r e plies, desire the selection of news to be articles concerning other colleges, including columns, interviews and notes of interest to educationalists. It is suggested that a column be .given over to club notes with the belief that it will stimulate more club activity. In this case each organization will have a reporter. Other students advocate more school spirit and state that steps in this direction might be taken by the paper. That more space should be given to feature material is also a common criticism based on t he statement that humor is essential in a school paper. The replies frequently tell that the features making personal reference are not representative of a large enough number of students in school. Other comments which occur frequently advocate more organized house news, more human interest stories and approve of the interview stories. . o Black Bearded Santa Gives Gifts to Staff At Christmas Party With old St. Nick strutting in upon the scene the Viking staff enjoyed its annual Christmas ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 December 18 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCH OOL/BElIJNpHAM. ^y^fllNGTQN 'ijiA,,j.;!;t.?i!iu«iiHi!

Dispite the apparent one-sided score, the game was fast and hard ; fought throughout. The Vikings played one of the best floor games this year, and the team that played will probably be Varsity .team next quarter. Sivert Skotheim, better known to his fellow classmates as Skotty, was absent from school for over a week as the result of an infected foot, caused from a blister which he received in a recent basketball practice. He was taken to St. Luke's hospital last Friday, December 11, and remained there until Tuesday afternoon, when he was' removed to his home on .Garden street. For the last two or three days he has been able to get around with the help of a pair of crutches, and has been appearing at all classes. Since entering Normal the fall quarter of last year, Skotheim has taken an active part in all student CO-OP FIVE WINS FOURTH TANGLE IN SUCCESSION The Co-Op with a 21-to-16 win over Viking Manor, is now taking thte Intramural league with four wins and no losses. Johannes with two sensational baskets late in the second half provided the winning margin on Tuesday afternoon. The game had a direct bearing on the championship and both teams played hard ball. Viking Manor was weakened by the loss of Hogile and Berg, stellar guards, but surprised thte Co-Op quintet with a great rally that tied the score at 11-all at half time. In the last five minutes of the second half the Co-Op finally broke through the Manor defense to score five points and annex the game. Zwascha, with six points, played a good game for Manor, while Johannes, with seven points, and Hal-bert, with five points, were high for Co-Op. By defeating Reynolds Hall, 26 to 17, in the second game of the after-, noon, the Thespians finally broke into the win column. Both teams played a good floor game and the score at half time was 14 to 10 in favor of the visitors. The Thespians stepped the game up a bit and pulled away in the second half to win handily by a nine-point margin. Collier and Stoddard, with six and eight points, were high men for the Thespians, while Layton, with four points, was high for Reynolds Hall. Lineup Co-Op, 21 Viking Manor, 16 Sinko, 4 .....F.....

Both played stellar roles and tied for high point honors by chalking up eight points apiece. The Supers started strong in the first half, and were leading 22 to 11 by gun time. Abbott and McBeath each contributed six points that half and Abbott added a foul for his night's work. Blaine Fast Carlton, diminutive Blaine forward, proved a constant threat in the first half. He garnered four points before the Normal guards bottled him up for the rest of the game. Parker, lanky center, hit the basket for six markers. I n the second half the Vikings further increased their lead, 'making 25 points while Blaine made 12. Rork, Matheny, Wahl and Hager, a promising newcomer, were all hitting the basket. Fouls Committed The Carverites seemed a bit overanxious at times, committing seven fouls. Kienast had three fouls to his credit before he slowed down. A few more practice games and the Vikings will be in great shape to enter their interscholastic schedule. The lineup for last Tuesday's game follows: Normal, 47 Blaine, 23 McBeath, 8 F Carlton; 4 Wahl, 5 F Jones, 3 Abbott, 7 C Parker, 6 Rork, 6 G Kerr, 4 Kienast, 8 G Blakely, 2 Referee, Shelton. Substitutions — Normal, Matheny (7), Hager (6); Blaine, Montfort, Flemming (2), Keyes (4). o All- girls of the school are being given an opportunity to sign up now for the sports they desire to participate in during winter quarter. Sports offered are basketball on Monday and Wednesday, badminton on Tuesday and Thursday, swimming on Thursday evenings, and dancing on Monday and Wednesday. Girls may sign up for either clog and tap dancing for beginners, advanced clog and tap work, or natural dancing. The one of these three types for which the greatest number of girls sign will be offered. Swimming is held at the Y. W. C. A. pool from 7 to 9 o'clock, while all other sports are given at 4 o'clock. Letters will be given to all i girls who make class teams in any of these sports at the close of next quarter. There is still time for girls to sign up for the sport they desire, but girls are urged by the advisers to sign up just as soon as possible. o — JAY VEES WIN AND LOSE IN LEAGUE Liberal Thinking College Students Have Conf erenc The Normal Jayvees won and lost a game this week in the city league. On Tuesday night they defeated the Whatcom County Dairy. 39 to 18, and dropped a game the following night to the "Y" B team, 42 to 32. I n the first game, after the Dairymen dropped in the opening foul shot the game was never in doubt. At half time the Jayvees were leading, 18 to 6. During the- first half the Dairymen were unable to score •a field goal, making all their points via the foul route. For the Vikings, Cook led the attack, hitting the basket for twelve points, with Bill Malmquist following with eight points. The W. C. D. A. best scorer was Duncan, forward, who scored seven points. Chandler, Gissberg Good On the defensive, Chandler and Gissberg, stellar guards, showed up well, taking the ball time and time again off the back board. Bond, Malmquist and VanOver all showed up to an advantage. In the "Y" game the Association boys went in the lead at the start and held it throughout. At half time they were leading, 24 to 17. Decker, of the "Y," led the scoring this half, making four field goals. Eacrett Goes Good On the Jayvees squad, Eacrett, a new addition, looked good at guard, both offensive and on defense. He hit the basket for thirteen points, while Cook, forward, made. nine. Frank Decker, "Y" forward, rang up sixteen markers for his night's work, while Yorkston made ten points.

On December 28, 400 representatives of 100 liberal college clubs will gather in New York and Chicago to discuss movements in the revolutionary change which they feel to be impending. Students to Plan Strategy "The breakdown of the capitalist system, occasioning the gravest crisis in the history of the United States, has made it imperative that students join in a movement to create a world free of poverty, strife and class distinctions," says Miss Riva Stocker, Vassar College senior, in issuing the conference call for delegates from all colleges. Miss Stocker is the chairman of, the Intercollegiate Student Council of the League for Industrial Democracy, the National Federation of Liberal Clubs, under whose auspices the meetings will be held. Sessions of the New York convention will be held at the Union Theological Seminary, while the western conference will take place at the University of Chicago. Widespread Interest Widespread interest and even the fire of some conservative critics have already been occasioned by the announced subject of the conference, "Guiding the Revolution." The student sponsors reply that they are merely recognizing that the historical process known as the industrial revolution has made inevitable revolutionary changes in social habits and institutions and that they are seeking to direct these revolu1 tionary forces toward a social order based on production for use and not for profit. They charge that the present business and political leaders of ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 December 18 - Page 4 ---------- P^^p^^^^^^^^s^iWiS^f^yf^f^iBfP^PII?^ W^HlNGTOlsr ST gt;SE NOilWAL S(*H OGL.

Have Possibilities HAVE; SCORING PUNCH iEPPED up and [raring to go following the Xmas holidays, the Viking hoop men will get down to real business for one of the toughest schedules the Normal school h I •M- - - ^k-g yet signed up for. Playing a total of ten games with a possibility of two or three more, the Vikings will have their hands full for better than a month and a half. The Super Varsity, which will graduate into full-fledged Varsity men, has played a number of games in the class "A" league. They have shown great possibilities and possess the necessary scoring punch to put them on the win side of the iedger. Good Material The Viking mentors have been blessed "with an abundance of material and with any good luck at all as far as injuries are concerned should round out a smooth working quintet. Wahl, Rork, McBeath, Jo-hannson, Abbott, Campbell and others will form the nucleus of the hilltoppers' team. Tough Schedule A tough schedule has been chalked up for the ambitious Normal basketeers. January 9, the local squad will tangle with the Tacoma Pacific Lutheran College at the Whatcom gymnasium. The Vikings have quite a bone to pick with the southern outfit as a result of a rather disastrous football journey to the Gladiators' camp. Again on January 16, the local quintet will tangle with the strong St. Martin's squad on the local floor. As in the Lutheran game, the Vikings have a little revenge to collect. Over the Hump Then the Vikings pack up their togs and trek over the mountains to the lair of the Ellensburg Wildcats on January 19. Continuing their trip eastward, the Vikings tangle with the Cheney Savages on January 22. It is hoped that another game can be scheduled with some outfit during the trip over the mountains. The Vikings will then swing back home but will immediately' head south for a battle with the C. P. S. Loggers on January 30. Host to Normal Teams ' On February 1 the local squad plays host to the Cheney Savages in a return game. Again they play the part of host to the Ellensburg outfit on February 9. Both these games promise to be warmers and will mark the only appearance of the eastern teams in Bellingham this winter. Following these set-tos the Carver men swing south for two games with the Lutherans and with the Rangers of St. Martin's. The first game will be played February 19, and the Ranger game the following night at Lacey. Loggers Close Season The Tacoma C. P. S. Loggers close the season for the Bellingham team on February 27. Last season the Loggers also closed the season for the Vikings in one of the weirdest games yet witnessed in Bellingham. Leading, 26-10, at half time, the Vikings weakened and were overwhelmed by the visiting Loggers to lose, 30-33. All in all the Vikings have a toughx'job ahead of them this season. With the material and with any degree of luck or a few breaks the Vikings should go far this season. "'"-— "° ~ SUPERS AND Y. M. HAv^ GAME R IM (By Jimmie Stoddard) Well, the old casaba season gets under way ror sure January 9, when the local Vikings tangle with the hoop artists from the Pacific Lutheran College at Tacoma, If memory serves us well the Vikings have quite a bone to pick -with the Gladiator athletes... It seems that an under-rated Tacoma football team slapped the Vikings until they were punch-drunk about two months ago. They say that revenge is sweet, well, we hope the Normal quintet gets it. Players from the State of Washington making the Associated Press ail-American football team include the names of Schwegler, Raymond, Washington; Tommy Yarr, Notre Dame, Chimacum, Washington, and Frank Hoffman, Notre Dame, of Seattle. Looks like the Northwest kind of took the lion's share of things this year. And, another thing—eight Tulane players were on the two Associated Press Ail-Americans or on the honorable mention roll! What a flock of stars that school below the Mason-Dixon line has developed this year. It is interesting to note that Notre Dame will lose only three varsity stars this season... Capt. Tommy Yarr, center; Marchmont Schwartz and Joe Sheeketski, halfbacks, are the three regulars graduating... Which means that the Irish will be right back in the money next fall and will make a strong bid for the prestige they lost in two fateful games this season. Terry Cook, Sedro-Woolley s own, is certainly making a name for xself on "Pop" Cunn's Jayoee basketball quintet. In the last three 'enc0unters"Cookie' has dropped in a total of forty points... He specially seems to like the shots from different angles. A hard man to check Look breaks awayffdm the defense to be fed the oval by his mates, who are content to lie back and let him do the point makmy. Twenty-one of his points came in one game.

C ' Vikings Lead With' thirty seconds to play, the Supers held a four-point lead, Smith of the "Y" dropped a long shot in from the center of the floor and was fouled, making the conversion, leaving the Vikings with a ohe^wiWtrlead.*• On J;he tip-off, Cteudeneh; flashy VY^^guaria, slipped downthe flc»r under his c[wn basket and received the pass and made a cripple shot, just as the gun COTidstent |i Morley Drury, ex-all-American and now a sports writer, has this to say about Merle Hufford-«MerIe Hufford, working behind a good line, would be unstoppable. He is a wonderful baU carrier, a very good defensive player and his kicking has astonished the fans on the Pacific Coast I think Hufford one of the best all-round backfield men that Pacific coast has ever produced." Also on Southern Cal's all-opponent team, Hufford rated higher than did Marchmond Schwartz, Notre Dame flash. Incidentally, Dave Nisbet, Husky end, was chosen on the all-opponent aggregation. Dame Rumor has it that there will be several changes made in the coaching staffs of several colleges next year. It seems just a little more than idle gossip that Pop Warner is to succeed Chick Meehan at New York U when Meehan goes through the cotton belt to take up the coaching retns at Tulane. Coach Bernie Bierman, Tulane's mentor, will return to his alma mater, Minnesota, next fall as head coach. He finishes his career with the Rose Bowl game. If Warner goes East it is highly probable that former Ail-American Ernie Nevers will be the new Indian coach. He can step in any time, they say. But even Nevers can't produce a ball club for the alumni w'ith scanty material. On reading an Eastern paper, we find this explanation of West PPPPP

Bertrand Russell, our foremost English philosopher, in one of his prophetic moods, says, in a San- Frandscari paper, that the world will reach "absolute .standardization within three centuries!'' He feels that there is a definite path being worn to such a destination since the nineteenth century belonged to the British; the present century to America; the next will be Russia's, and the twenty second century will belong to China. Then in the twenty-third century, .everybody having had a finger in the pie, there will be a "merger and a world state." (Just like a lot of children, what?) He predicts that everybody will wear the same kind of clothes clothes made by the government in uniform style. (Let's hope it doesn't include a Eugenie derby). He says that 90% of the world population will be in uniform and the other 10% will be hooted off the streets. (That's a milestone on the path to civilization). "What is the world coming to?" It is a recurrent question, but if Russell knows what he is talking about, let us thank something or other we won't be alive then . . . but you never know—nothing is impossible (Except the Scotchman who Was, afraid to go to bed for fear he'd spend the night.) Science might be able to prolong life to Methuselistic ages, and then where would we be? "Oh Death, where is thy sting?" W.S.N.S. — Thirteen years ago, we reached a peace decision. World peace was achieved. And today, that peace is just one kick in the pants followed by another over there . . . and . America and Europe are about as friendly as Napoleon on an empty stomach. Too many words and no action is the situation at present but let us hope something will happen pretty soon, this constant wrangling between nations is getting on the people's nerves. ....Headline: "Machine Can Speak In Million New Languages" Urn hmmmni . .. . Now the women ' are7 going to have competition. The apparatus is a newer development, of "speech scramblers". noW used to render trans-Atlantic telephone conversation unintelligible to eavesdroppers. Sergius P. Grace, assistant vice president of the Bell Laboratories, said, "It is probable that human speech organs cannot even imitate some of the sound combinations which can be made easily with this electrical apparatus. (Bet he's never attended a college football game.) Only another similar machine can pick up and reverse these combinations into human tones and intelligible words. "The apparatus could produce a new language almost as quickly as you could figure out how to pronounce one of its more difficult combinations, such as this one, represented by the spelling, "izugolttl-gsyz." Oh, but Mr. Grace, have you ever read "Ye Prof's Diary"? W.S.N.S.—— Ye Diary: We styll hey thet see-fairin par-rut ynn owr howz.

This game will close the season for the Vikings. Coach Romeo Lauzdri, former University of Washington star and present mentor for the Rangers, is bringing to Bellingham one" of the best pices of football machinery ever turned put by the" Lacey school. Lauzon and his pets have run up an impressive record of wins this season, the most outstanding being their 19-2 victory over the highly touted West Seattle Athletic club. His men have also dropped the Oregon State and U. of W. Prosh elevens. Vikings Work for Last Game Realizing the magnitude ^ of the Ranger threat, and handicapped by injuries Coaches Carver and Gunn have been driving their men hard to get them into the frame of mind to furnish the hardest battle they are capable of delivering, if they aire successful in instilling in their men the spark and determination heeded for winning the contest against the husky Rangers, and if the _Vikings can carry this quality into tomorrow's game, fans may expect to see ^some high-powered football The Vikings also will be out to avenge the 13-2 handed them last year by the Rangers. Rangers Have Stars All eyes will be glued ' on Burl Bufkin, late of Amarillo, Texas, and Matt Muczynski, Chicago, backfield stars of the first calibre. . Bufkin, as a first year man, is showing more potential ability than did the now famous Merle Hufford in the start of his college career, reports have it. Other outstanding aces on the U. of W.'s "farm team", are Scroggins, the best passer ever turned out in Portland prep football; Oldham, guard from Chicago; Hornbeck, quarterback from Texas, and Mon-dala, husky center. And, by the way, this Mondala is a big brute and just loves to play hard foot- Kraus String Quartet From Cornish School Will Appear Tuesday Music will again hold the assembly spotlight when the Kraus String Quartette; of the Cornish School of Seattle, appears here on November 17, for Tuesday morning's program.

Fischer, of the Carnegie Peace Foundation, at ah assembly held last Wednesday. Depression Felt. Herr Fischer explained the effect of the World War upon the country, bringing out the fact that before the war Hungary had an area of 125,000 square miles and a popu-laion of 21,000;000. Since the war the area has decreased to 75,000 square miles and the population to 8,600,000. At the present time Hungary is undergoing an economic crisis, largely due to an overproduction of wheat. The price of wheat is now lower than it has been at any time. In addition to the bad market condition there are many people unemployed in the country and the wages of those employed have decreased considerably. In respect to Hungary's European activity the country is in favor of the plan for a United States of Europe and through larger'economic bonds railways have found a way for co-operation in this plan. Education Emphasized Regarding culture, Herr Fischer said, "The standard of public education always has been the best for the country according to its interpretation of culture." He told of the education of Hungarian children and of the many cultural establishments in the country such as libraries and schools. According to Herr Fischer, English, French and Italian are the principal languages now taught in Hungary.

Since the cable in the flag pole was cut Hallowe'en night several plans for replacement have been taken under consideration. It is not certain whether the cable will be replaced or a new pole purchased. The cost of the work on the cable originally amounted to $40 and as the pole has been standing for ten or fifteen years and is not in good condition a new one may be erected; Several firms have been consulted arid it is probable that in this case a new steel pole may be used. - ••- 6 •;•••• ' ' Grafter Sells Fake Advertising; Poses as Normal Student "Welcome Alumni" Is Theme of "Get-Rich-Quick" Scheme iams Not Member or Girls* Group (Continued on Page Two) happened tew wiphe; lepfat hym awn Ithee bafc lt;Oo«ltoMd « M«t T»* gt; Co-eds Demand Luxuries Despite Depression and Scarcity of Money The depression clings!

The question of student cheating is occupying the spotlight of attention at the University of Washington. A proposal is made that all students be suspended if caught cheating in examinations. According to a report submitted by an investigating committee to President M. Lyle Spencer, die blame for cheating was placed on the laxity of the professors. We dare to state that most students in any group will cheat if given an opportunity; and agree with the University report that the blame is largely on the instructors. Nearly always students will take advantage ,of an opportunity to get information from others if they think they "can get away.with it." The idea of honesty seems not to occur to most people when it comes to these so-called "little offenses". People who would have very conscientious objections to stealing or, generally, lying, think nothing of copying from someone's paper in a school examination. It then becomes the instructor's duty to take for granted that all his students are dishonest and give them no opportunity to cheat. From the standpoint of the extremely scrupuous person, there might be justification for expelling a student who cheats but from the standpoint of "human frailty" the temptations should first be removed. Heard over the radio last Saturday during the Bellingham-C. P. S. game broadcast, "The best feature of the afternoon wasn't seeing the game but was watching the yell leader take a spiral into the mud." Said Ring Lardner last week: "The prince of all bad writers is Dreiser. He takes a big subject, but so far as handling it and writing it •—why, one of my children could do better." Moral: Don't believe everything you hear. After what Louis Browne said to us of Theodore Dreiser—well it just looks as if we would have to form our own opinions. wwwvw^fl^*A^w^A^^vlv^^v^•^v•^^^v•v•v•%^•A ...Student Opinions... r ^ s ^ W W f ^ s V W W ^ r ^ f t ^ ^ ^ W M r W M s ^ a ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ s ^ WW Contributions to this column are encouraged but the following regulations are to be observed when submitting letters for publication.

There is a situation existing in this school that has been vexing my l gt;etter nature since I first enrolled liere, five quarters ago. I know through a survey of opinions of numerous students that I am far from being alone in my judgment. In fact my conservative estimate would be that we are easily in the majority. However, I will get at my subject, which pertains to our health department. Each quarter all regularly enrolled students pay a health fee of $3. I realize that only $2 of this goes to the health department, the remaining dollar helping to make up for /the large cut in the Normal school's biennial budget. For the past four quarters/ there has lt; been an average of more than 800 'students enrolled here. An average of 800 would result in a net of $6,- 400, this amount of students' money I to finance the health department for a period of four school quarters, or actually for five days a week, ten months; of the year. I am not sure whether or not the : state appropriates money in the .normal school budget to assist in . carrying on health protection. It is • probable that such an allotment is , made. At least training school chil-i. dreri are-cared for by our health j department, and certainly we stu- ' dents can not be expected to pay for the treatment of thft training •school pupils. :' ' : I At the University^ of Washington, •state institution the same as this, the only medical fee that the students pay is an infirmary fee of $1 a quarter. This entitles those students to professional and nurse treatment at any time, and also entitles them to stay at the infirmary a week each quarter without charge. In spite of the fact that we pay twice as much for a health fee, we receive no professional services and no infirmary privileges. Some students think that our health fee pays for infirmary expenses when one is confined to the isolation hospital. This is not true. Any students in the isolation hospital have to pay $2 a day extra for it. I think if we students pay such a sum as I have stated above toward medical care,, we are entitled to a justifiable return. I have heard about too many cases of students having to expend money for a physician's services which could have been lessened and perhaps entirely prevented if this professional treatment could have had first hand. One does' not have to ask students, especially the men students, in order to hear complaints regarding the service from our medical department. Every year a portion of the health fee is paid to a physician for an abbreviated h e a l t h examination! Why not take a larger portion of it, perhaps half, or more if the state appropriates some for such, a purpose, and pay a reliable physician in-Bellingham for his regular services? ^ C" i t should be quite easy to Obtain a doctor for a couple of hours a day, say for an hour in the morning and MINNESOTA U STWDE^f^ ARE SELF SUPPORTING ;Moreltfeah^ thei-University:;'ofV;-Siti^esbte\-'eam; all or part of their college expenses, according to a study just completed by James G.

Dr. Umstattd found a law student cuttingVhair\in a campus barber shop, a miner looking after a paper route, an engineer employed as a soda-jerker, and a "home ec" girl as a switchboard operator. Employed students get just as good grades as those who do not work, and they take just as much interest in athletics and cam-, pus activities, it has been discovered. _ —o- — WISDOM BY RADIO IS NEW METHOD OF STUDY Men and women from all parts of the country are now taking a half hour a week to attend classes of the University of the Air. Radio courses on psychology and economics are given each week by distinguished authorities on a nationwide network under the auspices of the Advisory Council on Radio Education. After the first lecture a week ago more than. 10,000 listeners had purchased the "25. cent "listener's notebook" published by the University of Chicago Press. Judging .'by their letters, these adult students welcome the opportunity to brush up on these rapidly changing sciences. — o COLLEGE SPIRIT HOKUM Dean Charles M. McConn, of Lehigh University, recently told the faculty and student body of Brown university that: "College spirit and loyalty stuff is pure and simple hokum." The dean attacked the theory that extra-curricular activities are more important for the training of character than studies and that athletes are more loyal to their colleges than scholars. "Athletes," he said, "go out for teams primarily because of a desire for publicity and personal ambition." _—o—: FROSH LIPSTICK TABOO /? "No lipstick Saturday," is the warning issued by the sophomores of Tulane University. Freshmen will be forbidden to appear * with the slightest trace of lip rouge. A committee of sophbmores will be on guard ready to go into action when necessary. Refractory freshmen will have their faces branded with lipstick and be compelled to sit through the afternoon's football game with their war paint in prominent view. o another in the afternoon, or at some suitable time. This should be sufficient time to care for students' ailments. Professional care provided by this school might mean that some financially-pressed students could continue instead of having to drop out of school. It might mean, some student's future good health. It cannot be denied that professional services would be worth this and more. In fact I believe that students would be willing to pay a little more each quarter in order to have a doctor's treatment. There should still be sufficient, funds to maintain a regular school nurse to care for minor ailments" and fulfill a doctor's advice. It is said that our school is on the forefront in educational endeavors. Is not health even more basic and important than education? This article is not written with the intention of being destructive, but rather as a constructive criticism from one who quarterly contributes to the health fund and feels entitled to such a privilege. I have not written this after a sudden brainstorm, but after deliberate consideration and some unofficial investigation. Of course there would be difficulties to put such a plan into effect. Was there ever a new plan introduced that did not run up against some rough edges? I realize- that there are details with which I am not familiar. But oh the whole I believe that such a plan is not a far-fetched idea but a scheme that could be developed into a reality. May this article stimulates at least a consideration of such possibilities which might, if not presently, ultimately result in our realization of such ai systenM-P. :CY;yr;' r^J--l'( (By Irene Schagel) : Fiockefellers Donate^ SWMV to Jobless"—-reliefi charity, "dole" —blah.

The avowed purpose of the society is to foster and cultivate among its members a taste for intellectual skepticism. Among the other aims, it will foster a progressively critical orientation of the world we live in, the attainment of adult social attitudes, the cultivation of mental delights and a creative mental spirit. Meetings are usually of a semi-social nature and are sometimes preceeded by an informal dinner. The society has adopted the method of group discussion. Absolute freedom of critical expression is en-couragd, though- no Sphinx shall be quoted in public. Dr. Hansome is the Chief Sphinx and advisor. Dr. Hansome came to Bellingham from Germany in 1909, working his way to this country in the merchant marine. He finished high school and also graduated from the Normal here. While he attended Normal he organized a social club, called "The Current Event Club". After graduation he taught school in Alaska for two years then attended the University of Washington, from which he graduated, receiving his PhD. degree at Columbia University. Dr. Hansome was interested in the labor movement and education. He went back to Seth Low Junior College to experiment in education, after which he wrote a book, "The World Worker's Education Movement." Back in the days of lavender and old lace, in the time of powdered wigs arid hoop skirts^a lady!s costume was not complete unless she had a dainty locket of rolled gold fastened on a piece of black velvet and hung demurely around her neck. Those who laugh at the idea of having a locket hung on a piece of black velvet no doubt will be more than surprised to find out that the newest pieces of jewelry are fashioned on just such lines. Metal jewelry is coming back with all the grandeur of setting, all the dignity of line, and all the splendor of mounting that it can possibly bring forth. Most of the pieces aire direct reproductions of the old-fashioned types. These have among them the heavy gold mountings, the delicate silhouettes, and the austere onyx so characteristic of the eighteenth century. The settings are unusually large and have large stones brilliantly mounted ,.in .the. center. The most usual ones of this type are to be found in combination of coral and gold, to- .paz and gold, and blue and silver. Antique, silver mountings and rolled gold mountings, inset with one of these jewels makes a striking combination for an evening dress that is fashioned in the latest style, that is to say, the old-fashioned style. For the formal evening wear the necklaces are mostly multi strand in combinations of pearls and crystals, pearl and rhinestone, all pearl, or all crystal. These necklaces of three, four, five, or even six strands are fastened in the back with a crystal clasp, or on the side. Earrings of the long shower effect are made to go with them. These earrings are also set in the antique mountings that are used for the! necklaces. One of the more recent displays in costume jeyelry is a necklace with earrings to match made from polished cut steel set in a. silver mounting. This particular type of, jewelry is called Marcassite. When j the cut steel catches the light it sparkles and shines with a quality, that is oftentimes thought of as belonging only to the diamond classification. Sportswear jewelry offers a line to meet any situation Trays and trays of combination composition beads, earrings, and bracelets are being shown. There are the combinations of brown and Spanish tile, the combinations of black and white, the combinations of light red and wine and just as many more that are equally as fascinating. There seems to be no limit to the colors used this season. All the new jewelry is of the large type in a plain mold, all one size or graduated, or combinations of these. The colors that are so striking are the chocolate browns, the Spanish tiles, the Persian greens and the hunter's green, the deep wine reds, the turquoise, and the blacks. —o "Camillepi s Coming to be Burlesque (By Virginia George) „ More about the production, "Ca-mille in Roaring Camp", which is to be presented by the Drama club on the nights of December 2 and 3. The play, now incorrectly called "Cainille", is taken from a French novet "La Dame Aux Camelias", written by Alexander Dumas, the Younger, about 1848. Thte story is supposed to have been a reflection of the author's'own wild life and his relations with a certain Marie Duplessis. L Plot Familiar The plot is familiar to most readers. It concerns a courtesan, Marguerite Gauthier, who is known as "La Dame Aux Camellias" (The Lady of the CamelUas),.whohasled a fast, gay life and is the toast of Paris. She is loved by many but does not love until she meets a young man, Armand Duval, Father Pleads It is a case of true love for both but Marguerite is consumptive and says that it is too late to change her mode of living. However, at his insistence they go to live at a little country place just outside of Paris where she may recover her health. Monsieur Duval, the father, unknown to Armand, pleads with Marguerite to relinquish her claims on his son because his own daughter is to wed soon but cannot while there is this blot on the family name. Marguerite agrees and deserts Armand, who does not know the cause of her departure. She returns to , her former ways and when the two lovers again meet it is at the gaming tables.

Coach Carver shouldn't dp 'so badly this season with the most of material in school. With Rorlt, Skotheim, Abbott from last seasons Varsity, and Comfort, Flowers, Shelton, Nybcrg arid Campbell from the Super-Varsity, the head mentor has some excellent material to pick his quintet. Wahl, Jqhansen, Johannes, Matheny, Kienast, Reider, Halbert, Layton, McBeath, Sinko and others will furnish plenty of competition for the veterans. McBeath is a numeral winner from W. S. C. —WANTS:— . This game tomorrow is liable to be the toughest on the Viking schedule. The team that has been fielded thus far this season by Coach Romeo Lauzon, St. Martin's mentor, has a host of super-stars, who have already shown their ability to play sixty minutes of real football in their past five games. —WJMfcS.— Article from Seattle P.-L, by Brougham: Mark these two names down—Burl Bvfkm and Matt Muc-jynski. They're backs and WHAT hacks! They ©toy for St. Martin's College and if they arent two of the best pieces of football timber In the West right now, Til eat my shirt* BnfHn can ran like a rabbit with a heavy date. Muczynski can oat-pant any back in the Northwest without raising his toe above his armpits. You'll hear a great plenty from Burl and Matt. —W. N.S.— Article in U. of W. Daily— Matt Mucsynski, St. Martins half, comes under our classification of the most valuable of Jimmy Phe-lan's up and coming stars. That boy, who closely resembles Ernie Nevers, has the drive of Caddell, the shiftiness of Moffat, punts fifty yards ionsistently, and it takes about three men to bring him down. He'll bear watching. —W.S.N.S.— Looks as though the Vikings will have their hands full when the Bangers take the gridiron tomorrow. Some of the outstanding men found in the Lacey lineup are: Bufkin, halfback, from Amarillo, Texas; Scroggins, the best passer ever turned out in Portland prep football; Oldham, guard, graduate of LaSalle high school, Chicago; Hornbeck, of Corsicana, Texas, crafty, quarterback; Clarke, Queen Anne high school, another smart quarter. —W.S.N.S.— The game last Saturday with' C. P. S. only proved more decisively that the Vikings are a first-half team. Their lone touchdown and that magnificent eighty-yard drive that was halted on the one-foot line, came daring the first two quarters. The third quarter found the Viking pep, co-ordination and spirit badly shattered and unable to stop the more-than-ambitious Loggers. —W.S.N.S.— . This boy Jimmie Ennis, Logger back, is one of the sweetest pieces of football material We've seen in a long time. It was his vim and fire that was responsible for. the Loggers' changed attitude and drive in the second half. —W.S.N.S.— Again, as in the past two or three games, Abbott and Berg were the outstanding linemen and Donovan the outstanding back in the game last week. On defense these men were like a stone wall, and in the first half were the spark of the Viking offense. Flowers and Iverson played great ball as did Comfort and Brewer. The last two combined with Berg to make the center of the line airtight. Flowers packed over the lone Viking score on a sweeping end 'ran, assisted with great interference from his mates. Iverson caught a long pass as the 'final gun sounded and traveled sixty yards to the fifteen-yard line before downed. Twas a tough break for the plucky fullback, for he deserved a touchdown out of that gallant attempt. ;;:-y4;:;^v.s.N.s.- We realize that the field was mighty damp last week, but the local outfit's tackling was just about as sloppy as the terra firma. The CY PJJ I eleven were outstanding in that their tackles were low and hard. And tomorrow if the Rangers are to be stopped in their scoring ; parade^ certato tackltag is the thing gt;;^"win^£;:^ com Hi-School Football Gnampionsnip 12-0 Four thousand fans jammed ^the bleachers, grandstands, and sidelines of Battersby field to see Whatcom down its ancient rival Fairhaven 12-0 in one Of the hardest fought gridiron battles ever witnessed here. This game is the annual north-south fracas that is held every year on Armistice day to decide the city high school football championship. Whatcom Scores Early Fairhaven fumbled on its 32-yard line early in the first quarter, Whatcom recovered. From here Whatcom drove down the field to score a touchdown. The try for point failed. Fairhaven came back strong in the second half putting the ball down on Whatcom's own 2-yard line after a series of line plunges and end runs. Here they lost the ball on downs, thus losing their only real chance to score. Pass Intercepted Whatcom intercepted one of Fairhaven's 30-yard line and from here plunged through the line and skirted the ends to score its second touchdown of the game. The try for point failed. Whatcom's second team was sent in for the kickoff. One play was run off when the game ended. b— SOCCER. VOLLEYBALL INTRAMURALS START Girl athletes of the school started their intramural games in soccer and volleyball, Thursday afternoon, November 12 at 4 o'clock. The two soccer teams headed by Loraine Shepard and Frances Harris, are to play a three out of five series before Thanksgiving. Three volley-ball teams have been chosen and have as their captains, Ethel Jacobsen, Marion Grieve, and Iola Grue. -. O : (.'S.j^H-VX? •ff beaten the tackles must be certain and deadly. Nothing takes more out of a ball carrier than a killing tackle. It breaks his spirit, saps his strength and makes him fearful. —W.S.N.S.— Following are the scores of the St Martin's games this season: They dropped the U. S. S. Lexington, 47-0; Albany College, 51-0; West Seattle Athletic Club, 19-2; O. S. C. Frosh, 12-0, and the U. of W. Frosh, 7-6. In the Washington Frosh game, Lauzon's pets were favored to win by three or four touchdowns, but listless play throughout the first three quarters and a portion of the fourth almost cost victory. The Rangers attempted twenty- seven passes and connected with only two. If they are in that kind of a mood tomorrow, the Vikings may give them a surprise. —W.S.N.S.— Last Saturday the Ellensburg Wildcats dropped Cheney, 7-6, to annex the Tri-Normal for the sixth successive year. This is a good example of where comparative scores went haywire. Cheney dropped the Vikings, 40-0, Ellensburg turned the trick 7-0, and then dropped Cheney 7-6. How come? How come ? —W.S.N.S.— Chick Meehan for the first time saw one of his New York teams take its second straight beating when Mott raced 97 yards with a kick-off in the second half to tie the score. The try-for-point gave Georgia the game, 7-6. That kinda makes Oregon rate down South, too. Michigan State ran up 100 points on their opponents. PPPPP

Carver's Men Hope to Avenege Defeat Suffered in Football Last Fall ALL WILL SEE ACTION King Basketball will make its official bow to the fans of the winter sport, when Coach Sam Carver pits his strong Vikings against the Pacific Lutheran college of Taco-ma. The game is scheduled to get under way at 8 o'clock in the Whatcom gym tomorrow night, Saturday, January 9. With little known in the Viking camp of the relative strength of the Tacomans, Coach Carver has been drilling his hopefuls hard this last week, anticipating a close game. Carver Hopeful The game marks the first time these two schools have engaged in a basketball game in a number of years. This last fall, the Vikings renewed football relationship when they journey down to Tacoma to lose a heartbreaking game. Coach Carver stated that since little is known of the visiting squad, he is unable to predict the Vikings' chances for victory except from meager reports that claim the Nor-malites will be forced to the limit. Moe, former Anacortes flash, is practically the only known name on their roster in these parts. Vikings Show Improvement The team that will take the floor Saturday night wearing the Blue and White, will be the team representing the school for the past month in the City League, as the Super Varsity.' Playing in that league has afforded plenty of practice, along with other practice games. Coach Carver failed to reveal a starting lineup for the game, but will have nine men in suits, who probably will all see acti n in the game. Tentatively speaking from past games, it is likely that Irving Wahl and Clint McBeath will start at the forward posts. Both these men are fast and once away under the basket are "dead eyes". At center, Kienast probably will be Carver's choice. In the guard postions probably will be found Rork, stellar veteran, and. Johanesen. Flowers' Developing This leaves Flowers, Campbell, Abbott and Matheny in reserve. Abbott, Flowers and Campbell all are (Continued on Page Four) Kibbe Commends School Systems Student Management in Grade Schools Successful, Says Kibbe, After Trip. Being very much interested in elementary and junior high schools, Mr. A. L. Kibbe, during his leave of absence last fall quarter visited many of these institutions all over the state of Washington. One of the most surprising features of school life among elementary students was the evidences of the ever increasing student. control of affairs. Four hundred are served lunch daily at Wenatchee junior high in a cafeteria managed by a 14-year-old girl. Jason Lee school, of Tacoma, is run in a similar manner, but with more faculty supervision. Tacoma System Praised Tacoma schools seem to head the list for public aids and treatment for children defective in sight and hearing. The "radio-ear" is an instrument amplifying sound 1,000 times,., which enables the deaf to hear. In many cases, children who have never talked are taught to do so with the help of the radio-ear, by allowing them to hear their own voices. Make Own Instruments Aberdeen junior high is unique in that the students have organized what they term a speaking choir. This choir is made up of the usual four voice parts b,ut instead of music and song, poetry and prose are recited. Mr. Kibbe says that the result is amazingly effective. Music takes a large part in education at Aberdeen. The students have even organized Indian and Chinese orchestras, with instruments they made in their school work shop. Seattle Aids Boys Seattle's B. F. Day school has established in the basement of their building a vocational department for boys who are unfitted for junior high work. They are instructed in metal and wood crafts, auto-mechanics and printing. According to Mr. Kibbe, improvements for the general education of the child have developed rapidly in the last few years to a high degree of perfection in educational institutions of the state. Drama Club Try-out January 13, 14, 15, For Play "Liliom' Mr. V. H. Hoppe announces that group try-outs for the Drama Club play will be held on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January i3, 14 and 15, in room 308. The play selected for the winter quarter is "Liliom." "Liliom" is an impressionistic play written by Molnar, a Hungarian playwright. • It was produced for the screen a short time ago with. Charles Farrell playing the lead. New stage sets are.to be designed for the play by the play production class. Copies of the play may be secured in the reserve room of the library the first of next week. All members of the Drama Club are eligible to try out. —_ o CONTRALTO FEATURE OF NEXT ASSEMBLY DATE FOR REG HOUR ORCHESTRA TRYOUT WILL BE JANUARY 15 Florence Christenseni Xmas Party Chairman, Voted Letter of Appreciation CO-OP REPORT RECEIVED Isabelle Burnada Opens Musical Programs of Quarter Enterprising Student Instructors Find • o 0 Give Varied Ideas of Life as a Teacher Room Teacher Very Much in Evidence ## We read somewhere or other that Congress and the various legisla-tures had enacted 308,725 iaws in the period from 1906 to 1931!

A prominent student who taught in the seventh grade of a city junior high, school last quarter said simply,,"I really liked teaching very much." When asked for her honest criticisms she could bring forth only three. She thinks that there is entirely too much technique drilled into the minds of the students. "Too much book work!",she explained with a slightly depressed look at the very thought. "So much, in fact, that you can hot do justice to the real teaching/' She also thinks that the students are not given a chance to do as they would like to because the room teacher is continually holding them down and watchingowr vthem^fv//1 A .young woman who taught the fduilto^im^ also liked teaching * great deal, al-though she did not think there was a long enough time to teach. "Almost as soon as you get acquainted with the pupils," she explained, "you're all through teaching them." She enjoyed the xshildreh that she taught, however. She thought that being able to perfect a good technique in one subject was far better than being able to teach a variety of subjects only fairly well. "The less the room teacher has to say," slits ehded; "the better the student can do. Being alone in ttie room gives y6ii cdhfidefice iuid makes it seem more like your own job."

Is it the younger generation today that wants war, or is war no longer a glorious adventure to give young men their start in life? In a poll Held by the Inter-collegiate Disarmament Council and questioning 24,- 345 students in 70 colleges, 9 2% favor an armaments cut of at least 25%. Of those voting, 6 3% favored a cut by the United States without waiting for other nations to act. War may still appeal to the youth who joins the Navy "For a liberal education", but it stands in low estimate for the modern college student. It's a mighty good precedent. A farewell party at the end of each quarter and a mixer at the start of a new one, j s afine idea. To the Board of Control—Congratulations! 1932, Leap Year! Minority Gentlemen, Beware! the many Normalites and Normalassies rejoice. Let FOOTBALL TEAM CHOSEN THROUGH MEDIUM OF AIR An All-American football eleven, the first ever chosen by a large section of the American public and the first even chosen through the medium of radio,: was announced today. .. Eighteen thousand and six voters, who began to make their choices immediately following the Hart, Schafner and Mark Trumpeter broadcast, Nov. 19, in which regular weekly program the poll was announced, gave Marchmont Schwartz, Notre Dame back, the first place in the matter of popularity. Schwartz received 16,887 votes. The three judges, Ted Husing, ace sports announcer of C. B. S.; Sol Metzger and Warren Brown, both nationally known football authorities, in each case approved the popular choices, which, in almost every case coincide with prominent all-American elevens picked by football writers and experts in various sections of the country. The Hart, Schaffner and Marx Roses in winter are such a miracle— so unexpected, somehow. It's so unbelievable that such pink, waxey petals can be conceived on such a harsh day in a world of black bowes and dark skies. , - — o — o — Someone sent me roses in winter and I spend most of my time looking at them and trying to find their secret—but they only blush and look more lovely but they tell me nothing. o -o It's raining' and a little blue and pink plaid umbrella goes along the walk. O 0 r- What a funny world! Of plaid umbrellas and roses in winter. o o Have you ever read "A Book About Myself" by Theodore Dreiser! Read it, if you wish to know more about the man Dreiser. It is a very interesting autobio~ graphy—and written in that exquisite Dreiser style. o And then I saw the mob—all wearing sweaters and skirts—all wearing red ties —all saying "and howl" 0 0 The mob all drink Coca Cola—the mob all pump their arms when dancing. o o WHAT A TRYOUT KING MOB IS! ons Based on ness Of Other Individuals This All-American team follows: Left End—Jerry Dalrymple, Tulane. Left Tackle—Dallas Marvil, Northwestern. Left Guard—Clarence Munn, Minnesota. Center—Tommy Yarr Notre Dame. Right Guard—Johnny Baker, Southern California. Right Tackle—Jim McMurdo, Pittsburgh. Right End—Vernon Smith, Georgia. Quarterback—Barry Wood, Harvard. Left Halfback—Marchmont Swartz, Notre Dame. Right Halfback—Ernest Pinckert, Southern California. Fullback—Ernest Rentner, Northwestern. Tommy Yarr, believed to be one of the two most important pivot men on national gridirons this year, placed second with "Catfish" Smith, Georgia end second, Dalrymple, third, and Rentner, fourth. All three judges selected Wood of Harvard as quarterback for the mythical eleven. This was rather strange as Husing, the C. B. S. announcer, during one of the Harvard games this season, referred to Wood as "putrid". n age of tournaments—tournaments of football, of basketball and now bridge and even poker. 0 O It is an age of establishing supremacy —we must know who is the best. 0 0 The depression is doing something— the libraries of Fresno, California, are crowded full of people with nothing else to do but read. —-o o Americans have, been criticized for having too much to do to turn to culture—And then along comes the depression and saves our souls. "Make New "Year resolutions not to break but make them to keep" was the advice of President C. H. Fisher in his address to the students in assembly last Tuesday. President Fisher read to the students his resolution for 1932 and urged them to take stock of themselves and. to start the new quarter with the resolve to place work foremost in activities. He further said, "You are here on your own resources and if you do your part the faculty will meet you half way." He gave a definition of happiness saying, "Happiness exists deep in the soul and mind of the individual not just on the surface." His resolutions were made on the basis of contributing to his happiness and to the happiness of others. Announcements were made concerning courses of study and attendance regulations for the benefit of the new students. The necessity of presence in assembly also was emphasized. . -o Frosh Are Welcomed By the Older Students We may all starve, but at least we'll be civilized. • . French Student Is Learning to Like American Universities Unusual Attributes Found to be Possessed by Prominent Students (By Golly) Two more people join the great ranks of the interviewed.; It's a marvelous feeling, I tell you, when you're asked if you eat butter ort your tread and if so, why. The culprits for this week are two people you biow—well, if'you don't know them, you'll want to after you've read about them. The first one is Lillian Lux. Know the girl? She was just appointed general cahirman of the winter mixer. She came to us from the University of Washington although her home is in Wenatchee. She requested we did not ask how many years she attended that institution, (sounds bad). Her handwriting shows she is optimistic, emotional, and of a placid nature and she confided to me that she hated to write letters. "Oh, sure!" she answered, when I asked her if she liked men. /Her ambition in life is to be a kindergarten teacher. This accounts for her presence at our worthy institution of learning. She loves to ttve—but d ^ lt;6et UJe difference?)" She; ialso likes to e ^ e ^ c i a l l ^ ^ - c c ^ t a t i s ^ n d - ,^ :m done everything from selling shoes to working in a mill, yet he wishes to become a teacher. His name is Vernon Leatha and he is president o£ the sophomore class. He readily admitted, "I don't know anything and I'm a big nuisance." (strange case, this man). His handwriting shows that he is optimistic, good na-tured, sentimental, and emotional. He recently appeared as Props in the Drama play and he says that a life like that would suit him fine. He said, "I think all women are conceited!"—but then, he doesn't think very of ten. When asked, then, "Do you like girls?" he nonchalantly answered, "I'll have to consult my social secretary." He then departed and was I surprised when he came ^running back and said, "Be sure and say that I love all my teachers!" •»; ^ .•" '•^-7A'\V^! Reminiscing over past school experiences in France, Mrs. Marcelle Huycke, a French student at the University of Washington, admitted to her son, Andre, that "College life in France is not at all like that in America. There is no social life at all." This fall marked Mrs. Huycke's first experience in the American college. "I went to a. private school in Paris—and spent two years in a conservatory of music at Versailles," remarked Mme. Huycke, adding her French accent and gestures to the conversation. All she had heard about the American college was "dates, dresses and places to eat." However, she has changed her mind, for "I think that American college girls work terribly hard. I've only found this out since entering the university," she continued. Her Dislikes About "Us" The only things that Mrs. Huycke doesn't like about American colleges are the sororities and fraternities. "I think they are terrible—they are aristocracy in a country that claims to be democratic." . . 0-: ; High School Stars Excel in College "What is this thing called Normal?" This is the first thought of an entering Freshman. "Do they make you study, or do you just have to study? In short what do they do with all those good looking 'to be' teachers, or what have you, and besides that why do they treat us lowly Freshman as if we were babes in arms?" These and many many other thoughts of frightened Freshman are recalled as being just what they think about, or I should say, thought about. And then their first quarter fades away into memory and the second quarter begins. Their footing is a little more sure and their thoughts somewhat more bold. Their courses are marked "2" and their courage increased one. "Crying Freshman". Well you were too and all of us. So you were the first day of the first grade, also the first year of high school, and so you always will be as long as there exists the term "Freshman". On behalf of the old students and the members of the faculty we welcome you to the Normal and hope your stay here will be as good as ours has been. _ o- — "I am never well; I can't say why," said the patient. "I get a sort of pain, I don't know exactly where, and it leaves me in a kind of—oh, I don't know." "This is a prescription for I don't know what," said the doctor. "Take it. I don't know how many times a day for I can't think how long, and you'll feel better. I don't know when."

BELUNGHAM, WASHINGTON Fas Coed Although mid-winter is a time when Dame Fashion is at a standstill until the early spring styles make their debut, nevertheless the •college girl must ever look to the propriety and serviceability of her costume. A look about the shops and campus shows that the type of clothing which is being worn for school and : sport is modeled on very simple tailored, close-fitting lines. This simplicity lends a smart touch. The outstanding colors are navy blue, brown and black. The use of detachable collar and cuffs, giving variation to the style is another predominating feature. Ah interesting fact concerning length of skirts is that they should be fourteen inches from the floor, replacing last year's twelve inches. Polo and tweed coats, being the best for school, are worn and long leather coats are always good in this climate. On the campus we also see suede jackets worn with corduroy skirts which are again coming into fashion. Rivaling the always appropriate beret is the turban and close fitting felt hat. ' The well-shod co-ed will always wear low heeled oxfords and service weight hose for school, morning, and sport. . o Instructor Enjoys Christmas Vacation Skiing at Mt. Baker Miss Weythman, of the P. E. department, completed her Christmas . vacation by a skiing trip on Mount Baker. This three days' outing was the official opening of the Mount Baker Ski Club, of which Miss Weythman is a member gt; The party, starting New Year's day, reported good automobile . roads to Bagley creek but from there on they either walked or skiied. During this first day they went up the trail as far as ^Heather Meadows. From there on there was a new, soft layer of snow covering the trees and earth. ' Saturday the trip up the mountain was repeated. This time they went by Austin pass, where the snow was about nine and one-half feet deep. The best snow was above Terminal lake. In fact it was so good that they again climbed up and skied down. On this day there was also a group of expert skiiers from Seattle enjoying the show on the mountain. Sunday, January 3, was not such an, appropriate day for skiing as it was snowing most of the time. The mountain was especially beautiful because of the trees which were bent over by the heavy snow. o Rosenzweig President Barton Hall has organized for the winter quarter, electing the following officers: Jewel Rosenzweig, president; Katherine McCaw, secretary; Geraldine Fitzgerald, treasurer, and Catherine Hollis, reporter. New members of the Hall are Marjorie Allen, Mrs. Lucille Van-derob, and Delia Wilkins. o El Nido Elects Officers The girls of El Nido lodge elected Edith Anderson, president; Helen Cryer, social chairman; arid Evelyn Dunbar, news reporter, at their reorganization meeting. A talk was given concerning the rules of the house.

General admission is 50 cents and reserved seats are on sale at Stark's Piano Company on Cornwall avenue. —o—: MISS MEAD ATTENDS TOURNAMENT OF ROSES CHRISTMAS VACATION Attending the Tournament of Roses parade was one of the big thrills experienced by Miss May Mead, school nurse on her trip to California during Christmas vacation. Miss Mead left to spend vacation with her brother and his family in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Dec. 22, and returned on the evening of January 1, New Year's day. The Tournament, of Roses parade was held in Pasadena. The theme of the affair was the Olympic games, which are to be held in Los Angeles this summer. The sports of the various countries were represented in lavishly and beautifully decorated floats. The little town of San Marino won the prize for the most beautifully decorated float. Miss Mead, declared that the entire trip was thoroughly enjoyable, and she experienced many other thrills such as picking luscious oranges right off the trees. o .•-••• Hike to Natural Dry Docks Will Be First Objective of W.A.A. Misses Siwpry auid ^ Both instructors Travel in United States Points of Interest Upon Recent Trips Circling the United States by train is a grand series, of adventures in people and places as told by Miss M. Belle' Sperry, of the English department who was granted leave of absence during the fall quarter. At Ann Arbor, Michigan, Miss Sperry stayed for a time with her sister. While there she visited various schools in the state, among which were the University of Michigan, Wheaton College, where she met a number of former Bellingham students, and Central Normal school, located at Mt. Pleasant. At these educational institutions, Miss Sperry observed and compared educational methods in general and English courses in particular with Bellingham Normal curriculum. Visits Washington Washington, D. C, was the next stop of particular interest, with trips on the side to Mount Vernon, the National Cemetery and many other points of historical and pictorial fame. Traveling South, she then visited Columbia, South Carolina, a typical Southern town of huge mansions and shaded avenues. It is there that is situated the state house, and the boyhood home of Ex-President Woodrow Wilson. Miss Sperry claims that aside from any aesthetic value, the large mansions with their high, airy rooms are a truly practical accommodation in so warm a climate. St. Augustine, Fla. Historically, St. Augustine, Florida, ranks high in interest as here was built the first Spanish mission in the New World. It was here that Ponce de Leon first stepped on American soil, on his travels in search of the fountain of youth. One cannot see the Atlantic from St. Augustine, but must cross over to an island that extends for many miles along the coast of Florida to gain this view. This island consists entirely of shells, of which even houses are built. It is an ideal location for winter resorts. Likes New Orleans From Florida, Miss Sperry pro-ome es With Aj^lesaiid^ Scarte te Result ceeded to New Orleans, traveling around the Gulf coast. In her opinion it is one of the most fascinating and beautiful cities she has seen in the course of her travels. New Orleans is universally known as the place which sponsors the Mardi Gras festival every year. She made her headquarters at a hotel on the border of the Spanish quarter, where descendants of Spanish dons live in faded splendor. Old friends, new places, and the satisfaction of acquiring new ideas in her chosen profession, make up experiences not soon to be forgotten by Miss Sperry on her circuit of the-United States. Miss Druse Travels Our good old American soil is thta which interested Miss Druse of the Art department, when she enjoyed an extended trip during Fall quarter visiting places between here and the Mississippi River. Having a special interest in Junior High School work, she employed a large part of her time in visiting some of the cities having these institutions. In Montana, North and South Dakota and Minnesota, she visited several teachers colleges spending a little time in each grade of the training schools of these institutions. Visiting the largest pottery company in the world, the Red Wing Stone Ware Co., and doing some work in the Art department of the University of Minnesota she brought back some beautiful pottery for the Art department of the Normal. Sees Normalites While in Minnesota sue found former members of this institution and also some former faculty members. In Seattle she discovered that eleven former students of the Art department of the Normal are now teaching art in Seattle schools. The greater part of her tune was spent in Minnapoiis. Sh has also added to the department some textiles, books, potteries, and a large collection of Chinese art. Applesauce—applesauce—what an interesting thing. You eat it, you talk it," you crave it, you make it, and then you wish you hadn't. This story is about a young lady who tried to get the best of it and was it a lot of applesauce? First, she craved it so she made it. It was marvelous applesauce — with nutmeg and everything. But the applesauce decided it didn't want to be cooled so it talked to the dish and they formed a conspiracy. When the young lady was half way across the room—she heard something crack—and my! Did I say there was a lot of applesauce. Indeed there was—all over her, the floor, the ceiling and the woodwork. Now her hand is all cut up just because the applesauce felt full of fun. But who doesn't like to cut up when they feel full of fun? Well, as I said in the beginning— you eat it, you talk it, you crave it, and then you wish you hadn't. What? Applesauce! Applesauce! and more Applesauce! Nurse Note: Miss Margary Hor-ton, swimming instructor, is suffering from painful injuries caused by a dish containing hot applesauce breaking in her hand. She is meeting with her classes on schedule.

And bottoms^ up on that, everybody. The next two quarters should hold much in store for Viking athletics. With many likely looking prospects bat for basketball, the local mentors should find little trouble in moulding together a smooth-working combination. The coaches are blessed with several lettermen plus several former high school stars, and, to our notin, have a rattling good bunch of basket heavers. And speaking of basketball, reminds us that the Vikings open their Varsity season with a tussle with the Gladiators from the Pacific Lutheran college of Tacoma tomorrow evening at the Whatcom gym. Revenge has been brewing steadily in the Viking camp as they have a little score to settle with this Tacoma outfit. Remember that trouncing the southern team gave our local teachers during the past football season? Well, the Vikings are basing their revenge oh this defeat ,and, believe me, brother, if that Gladiator outfit doesn't bring a plenty strong team into town tomorrow we can only see a top-heavy victory for the Vikings. The Normal Jayvees retained their tie for first place in the "B" league, when they eased out a 51 to 22 victory over Puget. Sound Power Light Co., last Wednesday. This victory leaves the Jayvees and the "Y" still setting the pace in the class "B" league. The game was never in doubt for "Pop" Guhh's boysi as they started of f by running up a 10 to 11 lead in the first half. For the Normalites, Gissberg and Malmquist lead the attack. Gissberg chalked up ten markers, while Malmquist tallied eight points. Line-up of game follows: Jayvees 51 P.SP. L. 22 Bond 6 P Rauch 5 Cook 7 -F Valehscih Zoet 2 .........

Several sprinters, hurdlers, pole-vaulters, jumpers, and distance men will form the nucleus of the future cinder path team. The most notable weakness, at present, seems to be in the weights. This weakness may be cleared up before actual turnout begins in a couple of months. Jim, that high-striding hurdler of last year, will be back to defend his laurels won both in the high and low sticks. Davis was forced to drop football this fall, due to a physical defect, but will be right in the pink when the meets start rolling around next spring. It is rumored that Bill Windsor, former Arlington flash, will be enrolled in school either this or next quarter. Although faster than Davis in prep school, Windsor will have to step high, wide and handsome to match Davis' stride this spring. *£ Bostrom-Jauvees MatcliedbyGunri As a curtain raiser to the- Pacific, Lutheran College basketball game tomorrow night at the Whatcom gym the Junior Varsity, under "Pop" Gunn will tangle with the local Bostrom quintet at 7:30. This will be an excellent opportun- ' ity to see a game that may rival the Varsity game in color. The Jayvees have won six games this season and have dropped but a single encounter. The Varsity game will open immediately' after the Preliminary Jayvee - Bostrom melee. SUPER TEAM LOSES HARD FOUGHT GAME Viking Players Lead First Half But Falter and Lose. When the warm weather rolls around, "Pop" Gunn will take his baseball proteges outdoors and settle down to a strenuous three-months schedule. "Pop" lost several via the graduation route, but has several letter-winners back for their posts... Iverson, veteran pitcher; Abbott, short; Campbell, peppy little second sacker; Comfort, infielder; Leatha, relief twirler, and several other likely looking prospects. All in all, the Normal nine should be better than the outfit turned, out last spring. Ellensburg and Cheney Normal schools are certainly stepping high and wide in search of competition in their basketball league. Ellensburg took oh the U. of W. in a two-game series and the Oregon State College in two games. Cheney tackled the strong W. S. C. quintet in two games and battled the Idaho University in a like number of games. The Wildcats of Ellensburg also engaged in a two-game set-to with the Vandals. Of the ten college games played by the Wildcats and .Savages but one tussle was won by the Normal schools. This victory was chalked up when the Wildcats downed the Idaho Vandals 36-27 in their initial battle. Aftt In Monday evening's games it was just a matter of time until the league-leading Co-Op five got clicking to win their fifth straight victory ,i and put them way out in front of their nearest competition. Sinko and Halbert both had their eyes on the hoop and scored regularly. Halbert scored eight points and Sinko was high man for the evening's fracas with twelve points. The fast Wonder team was_ always in the game but finally met the fate of other teams that have faced the Co-Op and went down to defeat, 30-23. Flowers was the big shot for the losers, ^garnering eight points for his evening's work. The lineups: Wonders, 23 ...F..-4.-.l Kuske, .J?.. ....'......Tanguy, „C... ..Thorpe, ..G. Flowers, ,.G. Jensen, Games of this nature are out of the class of the Normal schools and makes their record of wins look rather blotchy, but still you have to hand it to these teams for playing college teams of the calibre that they did. It gives them a taste of major college competition and a little more self-assurance and confidence in their games with minor colleges of their own class. Queen Helene Madison, of Seattle, missed the Sullivan trophy for the outstanding amateur athlete of the past year by fust two votes. Barney Berlinger, former University of Pennsylvania track and field star, copped the coveted mug with nearly two hundred votes ahead of the third-place winner, but with Miss Madison only two little markers behind him. Perhaps it is a good thing that she didnt win this trophy as her biggest year is yet to come. The Olympic games may find, her the outstanding athlete of them all and then how are they going to deprive her of the honor which is voted'each year to the most outstanding athlete in the amateur ranks and which she barely missed last year?

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON I SCHOOL WEEKLY ANTE-I-OVER CAMPUS DAY AND YE DIARY Now thatsthe men are well settled in their own den, we suggest that they invite the men faculty members to drop in occasionally and exchange ideas... No doubt both factions would benefit. ; *-——W. S. N. S. i t is a small number of the students who really know how much work, time, and care some of the students arid faculty concentrate on issuing this paper each week. The group working for the paper strive hard to make it good, and if the rest of the school was given a glimpse of the process, they would increase their estimation of the weekly. —W. S. N. S. :— ...."Ante-I-Over"! Individuals, from f schools to preachers, with the fam-ly fire-siders thrown in for good measure, are playing it. The obstruction for them to throw the arguement-laden "ball" over, is the new generation. First, one "team" tosses the ball over, filled with eulogies on the sensibility of "us youngsters' with our frankness of Truth and Sex, as well as our long list of freedoms. —-—W. S. N. S. Then team two, on the other side of the "new generation" partition, gives its "Ante-I-Over" call of the wild and heaves the ball back, chock full cf prophecies concerning our heading the old Ship of State straight for the rocky reefs of destruction. W. S. N. S. On and on they wrangle with the same old line, and none of them in any position to cross-section youth's angels, devils. That is, they keep throwing the ball back and forth, trying to keep in style. It is worked on the same principle as the weather. If they haven't the ingenuity to talk or write of something original, .they start playing the above mentioned children's game. ——-W. S. N. S. Most of us are tired of it. Thus Normalite suggests that they take the "Ante-I" ball over and play golf with it, thereby standing a better chance of slicing it into the creek, jointly losing and drowning it, and all its new generation hooie. W. S. N. S.— After being drawn out over a long period of time, the Song Contest has almost come to an end. Now most of us will be able to drop off to sleep without a plea for "More Songs" ringing in our ears. W. S. N. S. Let's make this Campus Day an exception. "Everyone pitch in and work hard when he is supposed to, and not get industrious only to the tune of paddle whacks. W. S. N. S. After looking over the Calendar Board Chooses Cole For Vodvil Manager; Campus Day Planned Quentin Quick presided over the Board of Control meeting for the first time since his election, at its regular meeting Monday. Applications for the position of Viking Vodvil manager were received, and Bert Cole was. chosen to ttake the job. I t was voted to award the two yell leaders, Lyle Markhart and Jack Musser, sweaters for their work as cheer extractors. The Campus Day program was announced at the Board meeting as has been outlined by Generalissimo . C. Ruckmick. A representative to the Song Contest committee from the Student body will be appointed by President Quick. John Thorpe made a financial report of the Klipsun. o : FROSH PICNIC NEXT FRIDAY AT SAMISH TRYOUTS FOR VIKING VODVIL TO BE HELD THURSDAY. MAY 15 Bert Cole Appointed Manager of Annual Affair; Event to Occur Monday Evening, May 19. Full Program Planned for the Day IncludeSfDancing; Hutchins Heads Affair; Transportation Wanted Although.it has never been definitely proved that a pot of gold lies at the end of each rainbow, it is assured that a great, big container of tne yellow dust will be at the end of the trail for all those attending the Frosh picnic and dance at Rainbow Beach, on Friday, May 9. At least the entertainment planned for them should be equivalent to their share of the booty. Cars will be provided for all that make the trip, and it is planned to start the gold quest about four o'clock. After reaching the destination, a full program will immediately get under way, with amusements to suit everyone's taste. This will be topped off with a dance, which will be in full swing from seven until ten that night. The transportation committee, under the leadership of Jack Musser, has quite a problem to solve in getting a means of transportation for all who wish to go. Anyone that can possiby get a car for the occasion should confer with Mr. Musser as soon as possible. Any Freshman who hasn't paid this quarters class dues, will have to do so before being eligible to go. Earl Hutchins is the general chairman of the affair, and has a group of committeemen working under him. o DE MOLAYS TO DANCE AT BELLINGHAM HOTEL The annual Viking Vodvil got under way this week when the Board of Control appointed Bert Cole to the managership of the affair, which is to be given Monday evening, May 19. This will allow the various stunt workers a chance to turn out well executed Vodvil acts. . "Although the Thespians won the cup last year* for the best act", Bert Cole declared, "several of the other organizations have already started to go out after the coveted trophy. Any kind of act may be entered, and singing acts, dancing numbers, patter acts, or what-hav'e-you may win for the club the right to have its name on the cup." Preliminary tryouts for a place on .the bill will be held on the Thursday night before the date of the Vodvil, and the best acts will be chosen for the show! Last year the Thespians won with an interpretation of a carnival side show, ,,c(the kind "the folks all "come on bvah and see for a dime, ten cents", and the Frosh were runners-up with a May Pole dance, featuring Dixon," Ames, Rajala, and others.

The Chuckanut Chapter, of De Molay will hold its annual dance in the new Bellingham Hotel, May lt; gt;17. It was previously to have been held in April, but unforseen complications made it necessary to postpone it until the seventeenth of May, nevertheless the affair should be carried off as brilliantly as former De Molay dances. Normal students are invited, and may get tickets from any member of the local chapter at one dollar per couple. • • •—o EXTENSION DEPARTMENT Students of Miss Pragst's 7a Technique class have been gaining experience in typing by working part time in the Extension department. This practice is of a special value as it gives actual experience on the typewriter. PHILOS WILL SAIL ON YACHT THETIS TRACK MEET PROGRAMS SOON READY FOR PRESS STUDIES FORGOTTEN FORSOLAR ECLIPSE Stiff hecks, "soot smudged fingers and black tipped noses were, in order last Monday as Normalites, old and .young, attempted with the aid of smoked glass, to see "Ole Sol" hide part of his beaming countenance behind the fair form of the moon. The height of his concealment came at about 11:15 when only a small - portion of his face could be seen .'• above the top of the moon. Room 201, where students darkened and oftentimes broke pieces of window glasses by holding them over .,:'burning' candles, was the scene of .much of the excitement. It was in this room, that several of the boys had, difficulty in obtaining pieces of smoked glass, for no sooner would some youth get a piece of glass •properly smoked than some "fair . young maiden" would sadly remark, "I wish I could burn glass as dark as that". Thereupon the gallant youth would promptly hand over his \:t%just finished work and would be ^forced- to start anew.

They will sail on the yacht Thetis for Crescent beach, on Orcas Island, and will stay over night there in cabins. A dance hall has been reserved for Saturday night and 4 dancing will probably take up the greater part of the evening. Since Mount Constitution is on the island, hiking has been planned for Saturday or Sunday as the membei's choose. Sports will be part of the entertainment and swimming will have its place for the brave few. Frank Lock told the club that the boat could be chartered for the trip and that for a certain definite sum he would plan out the meals so that the club would have no responsibility of preparation on its hands. Joe Weatherby, Ruth Sam-mons, John Thorpe and Al Brazas will make up a committee to help him. After the business meeting and final plans for the week-end party had been made, a program was given by members of the club. Mariette Bergeron, as chairman of the entertainment committee was in charge .v of this. Arden Benthien opened the entertainment with several banjo solos, and was followed by a piano solo by John Mowad. Marion Mar-chand gave a book review on "Dido, Queen of Hearts", by 'Gertrude Ath-erton, and Louise Oberleitner, a n ew member, ended the program with a piano solo. Light trousers and blue coats will be the vogue at the Men's Sport Formal to be,held at the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold Hotel May 10. With the coming of Spring the men felt that a sport dance would be in order, and the club decided .to hold such an affair and to try and make it the outstanding event of the year. The ticket sales have been limited to 110 couples. This will be the first time that the Men's Club of Normal has attempted two dances in one year, and the committee working under Charles Dewey is sparing no effort to make the dance as unusual as its "idea". Tickets will be on sale, Monday morning in the Men's Club room. —— o CHILD DENTAL CLINIC HELD IN BELLINGHAM The fifth annual Campus Day will begin at 8 a. m., Tuesday, May 13, under the able direction of Herbert C.

Macgill Clayton Unger Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren S T U D E N T D E P R E C I A T I ON . The Viking suggests that the new Board of Control, in beginning its year's routine of solving the student body problems, attack first that one which seems to warrant the most serious consideration, that little old problem of "student appreciation", which in the.light of recent events might well be renamed "student depreciation". The Viking does not suggest that to solve this problem will be an easy matter. , On the back of one of the Viking questionnaires collected after the assembly a week ago, appeared a bit of impromptu student writing which expressed very well a certain viewpoint on the appreciation problem. This is an unexpurged copy: • ' Well, here we are again, suffering another of those wonderful assemblies. The so-called musical artists that entertain ( ? ) us today were three women from Seattle. I guess they are musicians all right, but what healthy, normal Normal student can enjoy such stuff as they had to offer when we can't even read the title to the piece. Maybe, if they would play something that we can hear" and associate with some written words that we could understand, we might be able to appreciate their work a little more than we do at present. • v It seems odd that the students of this school have so little to do with the selection of the program for the assemblies when we consider that it is the students that pay for the entertainment. The Average Normal Student. Many students feel that way about it, although not all of them can express themslves quite so fluently as this "average student", and an increasingly alarming number, considering the fact that this is an institution of grown up boys and girls, are expressing themselves on every possible occasion by disregarding the rules of decency and courtesy, (if they know the rules of courtesy). The Viking proposes that the President of die Student's Association invite the discussion of this question in assembly, and that the Board take some action regarding what is becoming an increasingly disgraceful situation. The Viking suggests that one of the following conclusions be arrived a t : that the existing program of entertainment be continued, but that the student body impose some discipline upon itself; that a different type of program be made more suitable to the "average" taste; or that the students be not required to attend recitals by musical artists. If the purpose of the assemblies is educational, the Viking suggests that the education be made elemental enough to include what the training school youngsters get a background of courtesy and good manners. Student Attacks Glub Problem; Merger Of Groups Is Suggested Well, here y'are, studes. We certainly hate to keep harping on how the time flies,., but.. gee-»-don't.. it though. Migosh, it's open season for lawn-mowing again and we've heard rumors about groups of Trids that have been swimming, both in the Sound and in Lake Samish, (br-r^ r-r-r),.. and., o-o-o-oh,.. (dismal groaning), some of the instructors are starting to talk seriously about term papers and stuff again. Seems to us we just barely., got., through with 'em. Life is just one term paper after another. —o— Steps in the Art of Becoming Acquainted with the Fair Sex Before Education at W. S. N."S. "Listen, baby! If you likes to, look me over, why I don't blame you none, myself, and it don't bother me, not a bit. In fact, youse has got nice eyes, an' I rather likes to have 'em lookin at me". After Education at W-. S. N. S.: "Say, "Queenie, if concentrated contemplation of my physiognomy affords you any considerable gratification, amusing or otherwise, you are at perfect liberty to cast your lovely orbs in my direction at each and every opportunity which is seemly to you." —o— You see, a much, much snappier version, taken all around. The'value of education is thus established. (And say, by the way, there's no baloney about this either. The latter missive is not of our own composition at all. We could never have written it. We have not been in school long enough. We picked it up where it had been dropped, tear-stained, crumpled, and nameless. The original will be preserved for the benefit of disbelievers). —o— TRAINING SCHOOL WIT: Teacher: Johnny, what is a collision? Johnny: — Teacher: Well, I'll tell you.'

Every time he'll say, 'A-men!' There, now. I guess that'll hold you". Well, well, so you're an interpreter". "Yes, I speak all the languages except Greek". "Can you speak German?" "No". ...."French or Spanish?" "No". "Just a minute. I understood you to say you spoke all languages except Greek". "Oh well, those other languages are Greek to me". From Portland Mistakes are curious things. Out of them, come results great and small, tragic and humorous. One recently occurred in connection with a student's earnest pursuit of his industrial arts project that you may classify for yourself. The student, it would seem, was interested in cement work, and particularly in t he structure of concrete roadways. Accordingly, he wrote a casual letter to the Portland Cement Co., of: Portland, Oregon, requesting information concerning the building of a concrete highway. AH of which was very good. But imagine his high consternation when a construction engineer from that company dropped in upon him, presently, to talk over the matter. The Portland Cement Co. had inferred that his interest in cement was much more sincere and materialistic than it proved "to be. Conceive also the surprise of the engineer when he met for the first time the supposed business man who was contemplating the construction of a concrete highway. Probably the shock of meeting,was fairly divided between the two. _ . „ The engineer, fortunately, posses-, sed a sense of humor. After t he matter was' explained, he laughingly supplied the student generously with the desired information, said he \ras glad to have met him regardless of circumstances, shook hands, grinned, and departed for Portland. o Photpgraphjr lt;3kss t Engaged in Art of Picture Making didn;%t have?: And another thing that turn out the way it should The car just in front of me. 0 T Kibbe Mystery Clear at Last 4.,,—„„—,„ in—mi—* mi ——nu——•mi—IIIH—nit—•—mji ]Normaliies Earn j I in Devious Waysl 4w_.n_„„__„._„»_„,_,,_»„_„»_, ARTICLE I "-r-Unconsciously sapping the life of the student". Perhaps few students here have regarded our well-thought-of clubs as having a side to them of rather a parasitic nature—which has been allowed to grow from year to year and is unconsciously sapping the life of the student. And it is question- •;\ able if any have really thought the - club question through at all. v Taking a cross-section of the entire student body is just like look- ;•••?•. ing at a dead horse which is infest- '•': ;ed with innumerable pests.

BEIXINCHAM/ WASHINGTON »WW gt;WMWcw lt;W.'} RELAY TEAM SENT TO CARNIVAL •Tomorrow will find a relay team • f r om the Viking track squad in Seattle as guest of the University of ;•' Washington for the annual Northwest relay carnival. Every year the "Normal school enters at least a mile relay team. In the past a medlay t e am and'sprinters have been en- .--'•'tered but because of .the. lack", of "sprinters this year the medlay team and sprinters have been omitted. The-relay carnival is represented by teams from California institutions, Oregon schools and colleges of Washington. Some of the best track athletes of the world compete at this meet which makes it one of the most interesting, meets of the United States. —o— TENNIS TEAM MEETS FROSH The Norsemen net men will meet the tennis squad of the U. of W. Frosh this afternoon^ at Seattle. During the past years the Normal tennis teams have won but two matches from the.Prosh. The team being exceedingly weak this year may bring forth just another, year of defeat for the Viking players. But some teams must be played in order that the team may gain experience for the Tri-Normal meet, which is to be held here May 24. The shortage of good competition makes it necessary that the squad meets the Prosh annually. ST. MARTIN'S GAME The Vikings will open the baseball season with plenty of pep and determination this year when they meet the St. Martin's nine on Waldo field at 2:30 Saturday. The St. Martin's school always puts out teams that are a worry to the Norsemen nine. Not much can be said besides what has already been stated about the visiting team who seem to have kept themselves in very good seclusion up to the present time not letting out any dope as to the possible strength of then-team. I think it would be altogether fitting and proper if the Student Body would turn out 100% strong , Saturday to back the team in their first^attempt. A NEW METHOD IN BASKETBALL A new method to prevent stalling was presented at the annual meeting of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, by Ray Hanson. There were 200 coaches from all over the United ( States discussing the game of basketball. The most important point discussed was: "Staging in Basketball". The method of enforcing the rule of anti stalling is to do away with low scores and make the game more interesting. Many of the coaches seemed to be in favor of the new plan but Meanwell of Wisconsin, and Koegen of Notre Dame thought the method meant too drastic a change from the present. The anti-stalling method is as follows: Speed, dash, dribbling, fast breaking, lightning passing, maximum of action, and no chance to stall. Here we have it. On any court, no matter how long or how short—mark a line across 44 feet from end line; -that is fourten feet from your normal defensive front line—no matter what style of defense you are using. The front of defense usually forms 30 feet from end line. When the offense receives the ball he must move forward by dribbling or passing. He is allowed one backward pass—no more. • He may hold the ball still for three seconds (officially counting to 15). When the members of the offensive go over the active line, they may retreat back to the "Action Line". Within this line they may stall all they like, pass and dribble in any direction they, choose just so they don't throw or carry the ball back over the "Action Line". On jump ball near action line the offensive may-t ap ball back overtime once. If he does this the rules for offensive basketball applies. Note: defensive will not go into offensive territory • to get the ball. Ball out of bounds to opponents— side nearest to where violation occurs. • N ' ' ' . • • /. Violation— 1. Ball passed back to offensive man standing on "Action Line". " 2 . Ball passed back to player over the "Action Line". ••.:.. 3.L Fumbled ball over "Action Line" by offensive team. / .4.

VIKINGS TO S t ; MARTIN^ NINE HERE TOMORROW Viking Baseball Team to Play St. Martin's College on Waldo Field; -Should Be a Fast Game.' Saturday at 2:30 on Waldo Field the Viking ball chasers will line up against a tough nine from St. Martin's College. The St. Martin boys have a strong team boasting victories over Gentralia Jr. College, and a p. s. : :. The Vikings have a team with lots of prospects and are given a good chance to win provided they do not throw, the game away with wild throws, as they did in their last practice game. Stiff workouts have been held all week to work off the rough spots and the Vikings are out to hand the St. Martin nina the small end of the score. Following, is a list of the probable line-up which, will start the game: Eacrett, ss; J. McCleary, rf; H. McCleary c; Thorsen lb; Iverson, p; Unger, If; Peterson, 2b; Emery, cf; Miller, 3b. '' Johnston, Gravrock, Dixon, Blan-" kenship, and a few others will probably be sent in in an effort to find the most successful combination. _ _ — o ; HUNT LEADS ARCHERY TOURNAMENT; GIRLS CONTEST FOR PLACES Miss e s Make Trip to Cabin from Whatcom Falls A tournament is in full sway now amongst the archers of the gx-oup which turns out for 4 o'clock sports.

Most columnists take an awful riding regardless of the Worth of their material. This column has an advantage because its author is unknown. May he remain so. Which all reminds us—folks, we advise you not to discuss this column with your neighbor—he may be the author. For the past two weeks a peppy squad of men under Coach Sam E. Carver and Assistant Coach 'Top" Onnn has been undergoing rigid training. The boys all claim they are in shape and are ready for the opening game against the "Buttercups" (Beltingham's town team) tomorrow. Coach Sam doesn't believe his men are in shape yet, nor is he quite satisfied with the smoothness of his team. Personally, we think Sam is using that old "Pop" Warner psychology. During the past several years, Sam Carver has been an understudy of the Warner system down at Stanford Unversity. The plays the Vikings will use tomorrow are, however, somewhat patterned after the Rockne system, using a balanced line and a hidden backfield formation. According to Sam, his team will play straight football tomorrow, the majority of the plays being line-bucks, off-tackle smashes, end-runs, and an occasional pass. (Come to think of it, there's not much more to an offensive game ,is there?) Mr. "Swede" Anderson, football coach of Whatcom High, remarked that he would rather have a light peppy team than a slow heavy one. "Swede" is a past student of this school and more than once has made his letter up here. We were discussing "Swede's" comment with Sam Carver. According to Sam, '"A light peppy team is fine, but personally, I would rather be coach of a heavy peppy team." And that all reminds us that the squad up here this year averages but 157 pounds per man. Weight will tell. Both Cheney and Ellensburg have heavy teams this year, comprised mostly of let-termen. Up here We have a heavy line and a fast shifty backfield. We believe that we will win the tri- Normal Championship in football if we have no injuries. But if any of the regulars- are sitting on the bench during either of the two games We wont have a chance because there will not be any more weight to patch up the holes in the line, as there are but seven men weighing over 180 pounds, and \ight more of 170-180 pounds. i As we stood in the hall this ' lorning we saw a group of Univer-jity of Washington students. They re going to give this school a jreak this quarter. We sure like to 'have you up here and hope you'll give us some of your pep and enthusiasm. Tomorrow's game should end with the score about 22 to 6, in favor of Normal. We may not be able to mow down the Buttercups to quite that score, but you can rely on the prediction that the Buttercups will have one • tough hour of football— and that goes for any other team, also. Jess Sutton, Bob Cox, and Bud Turner have just recently joined the squad. Jess and Bob are let-termen, holding regular positions on the team last year, and Bud comes to this school with some good football records to his credit. All three probably will get in the game tomorrow although they are not quite in condition. Last year we won three out of the possible five tri-Normal championships, although we did drop football and basketball. We had an excellent football team last year, but they didn't seem to be in condition at the right tunes. A good many of the fellows had side work, and were carrying too heavy cows es... Also the team was light... According to pre-seasbn dope, this year will be different. We have more weight, more men, and better equipment. The depression has sent some real football men up here, but.it has also sent Cheney and Ellensburg plenty of excellent material. We believe the tri-Normal games will be more nearly on a collegelevel this year. Football Schedule Buttercups—here, October 3. Port Townsend Coast Guard —here, October 10.

A. at the fall sports rally held on yesterday at 4 o'clock in the big gym. Iola Grue, the new president, was in charge of the affair. A short program, including skits introducing the fall sports, was given followed by plenty of dancing and refreshments. Girls' sports for fall quarter are scheduled as follows: Hockey, Monday and Wednesday; soccer, Tuesday and Thursday; volley ball, Tuesday and Thursday; tap dancing, Monday and Wednesday, and hiking on Saturday. Although sports are sponsored by the W. A. A., any girl in school is invited to turn out whether or not she is a member, according to Miss Weythman, faculty advisor. GRIZZLIES WIN GAME WITH ONE TOUCHDOWN HIKE IS PLANNED FOR CHUCKANUT Meeting on the Normal school campus at 9:00 o'clock tomorrow morning, October 3, a large group of enthusiastic hikers will leave for Mt. Chuck-anut on the first all-school hike of the quarter. Mr. Bond, who has charge of the hike, is expecting a large crowd of both old and new students to attend the first fall hike. Everyone is to bring his own lunch and Mr. Bond promises plenty of hot coffee, for everyone. After eating lunch on the top of the mountain, the hikers will start down in order to get back to the campus in time for the big football game in the afternoon. than ever before in the history of Washington State Tri-Normal football. We believe the team this year will go down in the records as one of the best ever produced up here. We believe we will win the tri-Normal football championshp.— Sam and "Pop" to the contrary. o MUST CLOSE AND SNEAK? THIS "COPY" INTO THE JOURNALISM ROOM.

Freshmen and other new students are specially invited. Theater Guild Gives "Enter Madame" As Season's First Play BEANS PROVE "MIXERS" Quite a flock of young hopefuls from the Normal were seen swarming in and about the Armory last Tuesday night, in vain attempts to either pluck up courage to dance or to participate in ye merrie games, which were being lustily enjoyed in the building. The reason for the commotion was the fact that the Armory was the meteing place for the yearly mixer.: ' Elsie O'Donnell acted as head of this quarter's mixer, tyith three committees working under her. Edith Jenkins acted as head of the decorating committee, Evelyn Chandler had charge of the refreshments, Virginia Carver headed the entertainment committee. The first event on the evening's program was the receiving line and its profound welcome. After each student had been duly presented to persons in that line they gallantly marched (or slipped; considering the condition of the floor) on and were rewarded with five beans which', sad fact* were forfeited if :their owner said . "yes," or "no," during the game. Tags, which had been previously distributed, divided the students into six different groups, namely: Pirates, Grizzlies, Norsemen, Indians, Vikings; and Sea Hawks. During the course of the evening stalwart two hundred and fifty-pound men of mighty muscle, as well .as innumerable "sweet young things" joined in such games as "Jolly is the Miller," and "Merry-go- round" and by the "time they had panted through several games nearl y everyone knew his neighbor and in some cases knew where he was from, what his grandfather did for a living, and what his opinion of the presnt depression amounted to. Tag dances, ladies' and men's choices,- and plain dances were enjoyed to the tune of "Barney's" orchestra. Punch was served throughout the dance, and by the time the appointed hour, for departure had been reached ,the mixer had attained its purpose and' the students had been thoroughly "mixed". Those serving on the committees were: Under the decorating committee, Katherine Mounter, Doris Phillippi, Eileen Morrison, and John James; the refreshment committee, Kathleen Hill, Myron Chandler, Phyllis Lamareaux, and Gerald Dawson; the entertainment committee, Evicli, Rickerson, Murray, Jeveny, Korthauer, Porter, Hunt, Knight, George, Schultz, Nelson, Johnson, Skotheim, Flowers, Abbott, Shelton, Comfort, Denny, Donovan, Falkner, Gable, and Mickelson.

PLANKS By D. C. A. GoDy, what a week this has been! First, prexy speaks in assembly-breaking: the sad news of a budget slash, and we all drip a few appropriate tears; then we realize that it may mean a raise in our registration fees and we lift our toes out of the puddle of tears; next we remember a couple of tests of which the result is doubtful (puddle becomes a pool). Then, too, this idea of the student body election is coming: up (puddle recedes a little); then some prof believes in tests this afternoon (puddle becomes a lake); Sam Ford howls for an unpaid Coop bill (Old Man River); grades due next week. (Whee! Davy Jones' locker—we're sunk.) —W.S.N.S.— Suggested by George Dack; Like the gown of a lovely lady, A lawn is Dame Nature's dress; Trees, shrubs, and flowers are the trimmings, Blended by the lawns caress. Care well for your lawns health and beauty, It reflects your tastes and ideals; There's no truer clew to your nature Than that which our lawn reveals. -rW.S.N.S.— Early this week, George Bernard Shaw was hoaxed into giving an interview by-a young reporter in Cairo, Egypt. Shaw had been so hotly pursued by reporters that in exasperation he instructed the hotel clerk to '-'Tell 'em Fm dead"—but a : French journalist got in by saying [he was Einstein's nephew. When received, the reporter asked Shaw what he thought of nudism and, true to the self-flattered Shaw, he answered: "When one's body is so esthetically formed as mine, one likes the world to admire—but," added the G. B. S. satire, "nudity puts an end to the Darwinian quarrel, for when nude, all humans look like gorillas." Shaw said the journalist would be forgiven the hoax he had pulled if he'd do the same thing to Kipling, now at Assuan. —W.S.N.S.— ' A bill recently introduced in Parliament in London will legalize the operating of movie theaters on Sunday. They ought to simply shift Saturday night comedies to Sunday night if they would maintain the composure of -their audiences in church the next morning.

Fisher Favors It Holding the possibilities of allowing for a schedule to be drawn up that will include a new field of play, Bellingham Normal school has been invited to join the Northwest Normal school conference. This tentative group will include some of the Normal schools situated in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. This conference will include six and possibly eight Normal schools. The Lewiston, Idaho, Normal; Monmouth and La Grande, in Oregon; and Cheney, Ellensburg, and Bellingham, Washington schools, have been invited to join this conference. There is a possibility that the Ashland Normal school of Oregon, and the Albion school in Idaho will be included in the conference later. Officers Chosen gt;* Officers of the conference who were elected at their first meeting are: A. C. Stambrough, Monmouth, was elected, president, and W. E. Haesler, Cheney, was elected secretary. Although it would be impossible for each team in the league to play each other because of the added expense that it would involve, Sam Carver said that he thought a way to determine the champion could be worked out.

John James called the meeting to order and Chloris Wahl, secretary, called the roll and then read the constitution. Helen Wahl spoke on the change of the point system. A few meetings ago it was decided that points should be awarded the students for different appearances and that a person making twenty points a year should be awarded a pin: Concluding that due to the fact that the year was well under way it was decided that it would be necessary to make only fourteen points this year to get a , AHeen Hurlbert, progra^ QUARTERLY PARTY OF INTERNATIONAL CLUB USES HOLIDAY MOTIF The quarterly party of the International Relations Club was held at the Moller House last Friday evening.

TRUSTEES TO CONFER THREE APPOINTIVE OFFICES REFILLED AT LAST MEETING BOARD RE-ELECTS DOWELL, WALTERS AND GREAVES TO POSTS THEY NOW OCCUPY. NELLIE COX SELECTED With $91,475 as the exact amount of the cut that the Bellingham Normal received in its budget request to run the school for the next two years, preparations are being made to meet the situation. The budget appropriation finally granted, allows the school $541,- 505. This item is to run the school from April first of this year, until March 3t of the 1933 year. More Needed Out of this grant $60,000 more is needed with which to pay the salaries of the faculty. These salary figures being based on the scale in use at the present time. This would be divided over two years making it $30,000 needed for the coming fiscal year. Additional money is needed to run the school until the next appropriation on the same basis that has been adhered to in the past. Thi$ is the huge problem that faces President C. H.

The financial report of the Viking for February was accepted, as was the December report of Gordon Leen, former manager. Sam Ford sent a written financial report of his recent trip to Berkeley to attend the convention of book store managers. Arthur Gravrock brought with him to the meeting a Mr. Edwards, of Everett, who has the contract to engrave the war memorial plaque. The cost is to be $25. The board members were asked to each hand in a suitable inscription for it and the best''one will be chosen at the next meeting. - Mr. E. A. Bond, who is taking his leave of absence from the teaching staff this quarter, was given a farewell vote of thanks by the Board for serving as a faculty representative. A suggestion was made that the orchestra that wins the Rec hour contract next quarter be requested to'keep the same'personnel throughout their term. • COLUMNS O P E N E D 5 Opening up its columns for the expressions of any candidate or any backer of a candidate, The Viking will devote itself to the coming political campaign. # We have selected a few model planks that prospective politicians may wish to use in their platforms. 1. Work with President Fisher and the administration in a strict adherence to the budget. _ 2. Endeavor to promote more interest in extra-curricular activities. . • 3. Strive for better and more educational entertainments. 4. Sponsor more all-school recreational functions. 5. Improve own ability to work with general student body and bolster appointees. / The Valiant" Acted By Production Class In Final Assembly (Continued on Page Two) i o — Albert Spalding To Give Concert WELL KNOWN VIOLIN ARTIST WILL APPEAR ON APRIL 9. r^^l0S^iii^^(^!^^^0$ • (O^tlnued on Page Two) Albert Spalding, violinist, will give a recital in the First Presbyterian church Thursday evening, April 9, at 8:15.

I President Fisher and the Board of Trustees have our sympathies— but with them it is not a time to stand around and receive sympathy. They must decide. We are absolutely refraining from entering into the justice or injustice side, as the case may be, of the state government's failure to appropriate the budget requested-WE START WITH THE FACT THAT T H E SCHOOL MUST GO ON AS USUAL FOR T H E NEXT TWO YEARS, BEGINNING THIS COMING APRIL 1. We repeat, it must continue even though they have received a cut of $91,457 in the fund. Included with that cut went $60,000 that is needed to pay salaries as based on the present scale. " W H E R E SHALL WE MAKE IT U P " is the flash card dazzling before the eyes of the President and the Board of Trustees. They can see nothing else, but we don't blame them—the dazzle would hive bunded us by now. ' ' * gt; It is probable that they will select a plan of jointly reducing salaries, reducing faculty, and raising student fees. Students are allowed to suggest any other plans they think feasible, but we go on record for favoring die above as figured on by the President, as being the best solution. . President Fisher has carried on the work about the school, hired the faculty, and administered the building program in a manner that has always kept the machinery on the incline. He has secured a faculty that is far above most of the small colleges and Normal schools of the coast. He has done it by being able to pay them well for other schools want the best, also. What the outcome will be, no one actually knows at present, but we feel that the last ones to complain about the situation should be the students. The extras "registration fee" will not drive them away from the school, and as compared with the funds needed to go through school, will not make any material difference in their attendance. o Following last night's Board of Control meeting, h was officially announced that the present editorial and business manager heads will be back on the job next quarter. Although the staff for the coming canto's work will be somewhat changed, the same policies used now will prevail BUTTON, BUTTON, WHO HAS THE CUP? Spring quarter after Spring quarter, club after club,, made up of person after person, have been spending day after day in preparing act after act for Viking Vodvil after Vodvil. Time, money, and patience have been used, with one goal in sight' '—"Get our name on T H E CUP." But what cup, we ask yoy. Where is T H E CUP? Nobody knows. THE CUP has been either lost, strayed, stolen—or we doubt if there ever was one. All that is obtainable in the line of fact, is that organizations have been fighting for years to get their names on the silver urn, or to win it three times for permanent possession. All supposed that the engraving was being done, and that the one year possession was being taken care of for them. If T H E CUP has been lost or. stolen, somebody has been taking care of it for them. However, we doubt that T H E CUP has taken any form past the mythical stage. X It is probable that at the time of the Vodvil birth, it was decided that a cup would be purchased, and then the matter fell through. If there has been one at some time or other, or if anyone knows the straight of the non-existence of T H E CUP, we would appreciate their communicating with this office. WQMEM ATHLETES^GET ; i P v ^ R Q S A ^ ^ Follbiwing the presentation of the girls' athletic awards in the assembly last Tuesday, President C. H.

GOOD TEACHING? - The writer strolled leisurely down the hill recently, iron plates on his heels clicking against the sidewalk. Following him were three small training school boys. Finally one ventured, "Lift up your heels, we want to see what makes the sparks fly." Learning by practical experience, they received something that they won't forget for some time, regardless of the fact that we had no lesson . plan prepared. • •. • •.'•. —: o-—: : .:. -.. ' S e v e r a l weeks ago we spoke of the good health existing among the students here this quarter. Since then several contagious cases have 'broken out, yet from reports issued from other schools, our "mortality" is!'still comparatively low.

WASHINGTON «lgH8 301 lonoi —By BUS = a o i -Tennis prospects will be .more 'than bright if all of the stars who have intentions of coming ot this school next quarter follow their ideas. Those I have in mind are Clifford Hedges Willard Houghton, and Julien Berenstain. All three of these fellows are good consistent racket wielders. This trio and Jim Rork, Tri-Normal tennis champion, represented the Whatcom high school tennis squad for the last three years that they Were in school. They established quite a record while playing in high school by winning all. of their tennis games. REGULAR TRAINING PERIOD WILL START FIRST WEEK. PROSPECTS SUMMED Rork, Hedger, and Houghton are about on a par with their tennis playing. Rork was tennis champion at bis old alma mater, with Hedger in the runner-up position and Houghton was third ranking tennis man. This should be a believe it or not. Listen: In Sam Carver's gym class Tuesday morning at nine o'clock a freak basket was made. The way il happened was like this: The ball was taken out of bounds by Stewart Fresk down close to his basket. He passed the ball out, meaning it for Vernon Leatha, one of his team mates. Joe Mollan, of the opposing side, rushed.down the floor attempting to block the pass. Well, he did it all right, only he batted the ball too accurately and it sailed up and through the hoop for two points for the other side. Quite a good play. Coach Al Ulbrickson, head crew coach at the University of Washington, is sfill drilling his men in fundamentals and is trying to pull his men out of the slump that they have fallen into. Last year the Huskies made a clean sweep at Lake Washington by defeating all three: teams that the California Bears brought to Seattle, and Coach Ulbrickson is set on capturing the title again this year, if it is at all possible. ,Bpugh_ water on Lake Washington has been hampering practice somewhat. This year the University of California made 541 points to their opponents 544, but despite these figures the Bears won eleven games and lost eight. This does not include the games with the University of Washington. The University of Washington made 671 points and their opponents made 567. Washington won seventeen games and lost only two, so maybe we shouldn't be surprised that the northern institution walked off with coast honors. TRACK PROSPECTS GOOD; SUCCESSFUL SEASON EXPECTED THIRTEEN LETTERMEN BACK; BEGINNING OF NEXT TERM TO MARK LARGE TURNOUT. PROSPECTS PROMISING (R. E.. GUNN) Baseball practice is struggling along between showers and exams this week. Just when basketball finally rolled up and went to sleep these factors came along to keep most of the players away. All this was expected so no attempts have been made at regular turnouts. A training period was substituted, which to all intents and purposes parallels regular season work except that, in the matter of attendance the players come out whenever they think they can spare the time. No Assorting No attempt has been made to sort the candidates although some of them have the earmarks of players. Leaden, Campbell, Comfort, Rockey, Murray, Gallenger, and Newquist have shown positive signs of ability. They will make it hot for the lettermen. Early season predictions are the bunk. Some unknown man is almost sure to rise up and push J his way into the line-up. Iverson and Moultray are doing well in their pitching duties. Iverson is ahead of Moultray on form. Both men are bending them now. Moultray has shown a nice curve. If he can cut the awkward corners with it he will win some games. Iverson is showing more control than last year and his main stock in trade last year was putting the ball where he wanted to. Good Hitter George is doing good work with the willow. Leaden and Rockey should hit. Newquist, Iverson, Murray and Dixon will get their blows. Next, quarter hitting practice will take on a few new wrinkles of' an experimental nature. On certain days the hitters will have balls and strikes called as in an actual game. A hard hit ball will count as a hit if it goes in fair territory. The batsman will not be required to run out his hits in batting practice. A record will be kept of each man's progress in practice. More Practice This will give the hitters more practice than they would get in a practice game. It may also, result in an economy of time. It is counted upon to eliminate indifferent practice methods. Indifferent effort will not produce results for a good record. Last year the practice of using a catcher with hitting was tried and it fully justified all expectations. The pitcher was more accurate with the big mit as a target. Less waste balls were thrown and time was used to better advantage. Battery Mates Masterson and Paul Smith, battery mates on Whatcom's champion-, ship team last year, may report next quarter. Masterson was the outstanding pitcher in the high schools of this part of the state last season. Smith handles the ball well and he is a distance hitter. Both men have had good coaching under Bryan Lewis, the Whatcom mentor. With these two new men and others certain to turn out, the Vikings should get along fairly well this spring. Rainy ^ ^ Racketeer s ITurribut for; THe Spring Quarter "The 1931 track season will be one of the most successful seasons that the Bellingham State Normal has ever had, if all the men that are turning out now return to school at the spring quarter and are elig ible to compete in intercollegiate competition," said Head Coach Sam Carver in an interview with the Northwest Viking, yesterday. Coach Carver's optimism is not just a forced Polly Anna cheerful ness, but has a Veil founded and deserved foundation for confidence. This year the Vikings have let$er- ! men back in numbers sufficient to make tears of happiness come to tbe eyes of any coach, and besides the men that have won letters in the past there is undeveloped ma terial reporting for practice that would in itself be the making of a better than average' team. i * Thirteen Veterans 0 There are thirteen lettermen that, lt; ashlar as the coaching' department know, will be, back this spring.

The racketeers''•can not practice unless there areT-several days of good weather In succession, as it takes some time for the courts to dry.

Likewise just can't help remarking on the fine days that are favoring us in our hours in and out of the classroom. Yes, the green effect on the campus is great. W. S. N. S. After lots of the students had departed from the Campus Day playground, the delayed fire department arrived with several lines of hose all set to conduct a water fight. It was good while it lasted, with Iboth the boys from Reynolds Hall and those from the "fire" hall finding out that the water mains carry force. (House-reporters' news style.) W. S. N. S. Some things that go on here among educated Normal school students, are hard to conceive. Not long ago two new cots were left in the janitor's office, "unguarded." During the hour some one nicely amused himself with some implement for cutting wire. At least, the springs were found in two sections. W. S. N. S. : Little forms of amusement like t h a t get people nowhere. All through school we are taught against that sort of vandalism. Yet we still find it cropping out. The writer can't imagine himself slipping quietly through the door with a pair of pliers and having a wonderful time cutting bedsprings. Without a doubt some student's brain needs an overhauling. W. S. N. S. Last Fall and Winter quarters the men of the school made plans for a big smoker. They planned to sell tickets and raise a little money. Tor various reasons the plans never materialized. Then came the Informal less than a week ago. W. S. N. S. Near the end of the informal, although a big surprise, the men had their little smoker. The officials of the club erred, when the big moment came. There was their chance to make a financial gain on the smoker, and no one was appointed t o Dass the hat. W. S. N. S. - Some time ago these same men held a big meeting at which a discussion was started over the poor facilities for the boys in the Nurses' office. A conference was held, the men scored a homer, and recently a men's waiting room has been partitioned off. It is great stuff men, but don't forget to turn sideways and duck your head as you pass through the door. The writer knows "what he is talking about. W. S. N. S. Like signing a letter, we'll add that we are late with our copy and must close now. In fact, we are all late with our copy this week. The editor has been away, and just like the cat, whenever the Editor is away The mice will play. YE PROF'S DIARY Oyl-Oyl-Oyl!

WINNERS OF SONG CONTEST DECIDED BY SEVEN JUDGES No Song Excellent Enough to Be Awarded First Place, So Board, Will Give Three Equal Prizes. After many, many months the Song Contest, has actually reached a goal. The judges decided that no song was excellent enough to be awarded first prize, but submitted three songs of the highest and of equal merit to the Board of Control as the winners. In view of this, the Board decided to combine the sums for the second and third prizes, which amounted to $30, and divide it equally among the three winning writers. In judging the songs the chief difficulty seemed to be that where the music was good the words were poor and vice versa. Following are titles of the winning songs and names of the composers: Robert H. Hayes, whose song is "The Normal by the Sea." Mr. Hayes attended school here last fall as a special student and his home is in Everett. Jack Gudmundson wrote the words and Oliver Gudmundson the music to "Sing a Song for White and Blue." Jac kis a Normal graduate and is now in California, while Oliver is a Whatcom High school student. Edna Boone Pinley is author of the words and Aileen Hurlburt composed the music to "Hail to Normal." Both are attending Normal this quarter. The songs will be introduced to the public sometime next week when they will be played by the Pep Band and when the winners will receive their awards. The committee who willingly gave their time in judging the songs was composed of^ H. E. Fowler, chairman; Harold B. Smith, Albert Boo-man, Mrs. C. X. Larrabee, President C. H. Fisher, Sue McMillan, and Herbert C. Ruckmick. Freshman Picnic At Samish Lake Is Big Success SCHOOL SPONSORS SUMMER OUTINGS Hey! Hey! And the Frosh class picnicking went! Going down in cars, the Class spent the afternoon. with baseball games and swimming, in very cold water at Rainbow Beach, at Lake Samish, last Friday. After sports a grand lunch was served to the crowd and at 7:30 dancing at the pavilion was in season with music furnished by the "Five Bumble Bees." Earl Hutchins was in charge of the picnic and had working under him Jack Musser, Alan Cowgill, Aileen Hurlburt, and Everett Emery. MANY SECURE JOBS DURING PAST WEEK Week Proves to Be Exceptionally Busy for Appointment Bureau— Three Employed as Principals. kant get seetz H'ray! Vanadis Bragi Holds Lake Samish Outing Today at 4 O'Clock Friday. With a picnic, participation in the Viking Vodvil, and a beaeh party, members of Vanadis Bragi have promise of being very active the remainder of the quarter. Today at 4:00, there is to be a big picnic at Lake Samish, with swimming, boating, games, and dancing. Rapid progress is at present under way for a big surprise act in the Viking Vodvil. With summer so near at hand, out-of-door affairs claim the popular vote, and a beach party is promised for. next week-end. o TESTS TRIED The preliminary form of the Uniform Placement Test in English, on which Dr. Harry Masters and Herbert E. Fowler having been working, was given to several English classes last Monday and Wednesday for experiment. This test is similar to the English achievement test now used, attd will be used by the higher institutions of learning in the four Northwestern states of Montana, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington next fall. A recreational bulletin has been issued by the Normal in which plans are listed for the outdoor activities during the summer quarter. It is expected that a large number of students and members of the faculty will scale Mt. Baker on July 18, 19, 20.

A pamphlet announcing the summer quarter, June 16 to August 22, has been issued and is a handy guide for both new and old students. It contains the quarter's calendar, faculty, general information, requirements for certificates and diplomas, courses of instruction, and schedule of classes. Its greatest innovation is the new method of issuing the time schedule, taking the place of the large sheets formerly used. The classes are listed under the hour at which they come and the catalogue number, descriptive title of courses, days, credit hours, teachers, and room are given. o PRESENTED IN RECITAL Jack Ellwood Schaeffer, a Normal student, was presented by Edna Baylor Shaw in a piano recital last Tuesday evening in the Pine Arts Auditorium. Mr. Schaeffer is an advanced student and his program was chosen from some of the most famous masters of musical composition.

In all there will be some fifty athletes participating, with coaches, managers, and reserves completing the bevy of those connected with the cinder sports. Cheney and Ellensburg are planning to arrive some time Friday, and will be all set for the first event of the program. This is scheduled for 9:30 Saturday morning, and will take place on the High street tennis courts. Eighth Meet This will be the eighth annual Tri-Normal meet, having been held consecutively since 1923.

Ruckmick and Paul Rule, instructors in the Industrial Arts department, attended a convention of the Western Washington Vocational Teachers' Association in Everett last Saturday, May 10. They report that the whole tone of the meeting was extremely progressive as far as educational outlook is concerned. Of vital importance was a discussion on the establishment of courses in the higher institutions which would lead to degrees for shop teachers in Junior and Senior high schools. The new State course of study in Industrial Arts which is coming out soon was talked over and a project for interesting Junior and Senior high school people in aviation by building model airplanes and man- ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 16 - Page 2 ---------- ISSiS^ '•'•:• •' lt;: ::.[••':• ^ Formerly The Wee~iy messenger—Founded 1899 Published evfcry Friday except during the month of September, by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal,.

Fmtey ElUnor Anderson Dorothy Sasse Eileen Runnals James Rork Arnold Johnson Charles Dewey REPORTERS Mrs. S. H. Macgill Clayton Unger Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren MUSIC A N D A RT CHve Bell, in developing his hypothesis in " A r t , " declares, It is use-less for a critic to tell me that something is a work of art; he must make me feel it for myself. This he can only do by making me see; he must get at my emotions through my eyes. Unless Jie can make me see something that moves me, he cannot force my emotions. I have no right to consider anything a work of art to which I cannot react emotionally. As we understand it, the reason that concert artists are brought here is to provide us with an opportunity to learn to love this beautiful art which is music. W e are to listen to singers, pianists, and violinists of real merit in order that we may become acquainted with all of the beauty which we are assured will be opened up to us if we understand music. We are to listen to musician after musician in order that we may become sensitive to tone and rhythm and harmony, and in order that we may react emotionally, and be made to feel happier, or bigger, or finer, when we hear true artists making true music. Being lovers of the music which we can understand, most or us are making an honest effort to become conscious of the values in what we are told are the higher forms of music, which may be found in that music which is offered in the Normal assembly once or twice a week. And yet, we doubt if there is a great percentage of the people in the student body who get an emotional reaction, who feel real pleasure in the majority of the concerts which are offered, although individual artists with particular charm, or with a familiar repertoire may occasionally elicit the kind of reaction which we believe should be the common, rather than the unusual response. lt; • We believe that there is something wrong with a system of education, whether it be education in appreciation of literature or in music appreciation, which attempts to cause us to find pure enjoyment in a high development of the art before we have had at least some preliminary groundwork. It seems as wasteful to start our education in music with the opera of some of the more difficult composers as it would be to start primary children off with Milton or Dante. To ask us to listen to a great pianist before we have learned to love piano music through association and instruction seems like expecting us to absorb inspiration from books by wandering through a library before we have learned to read. We believe that to appreciate music an individual must have some education in music, and we propose that an orientation course be worked out and added to the curricula, which would influence the broadening out of student appreciation in music in the same way that the present orientation courses effect the student's love and understanding for the liberal arts. We believe that to do so would be to enable the students in general to enjoy the skilled musicians and talented artists who are heard here so often, and we believe that to do so would be to open up to nearly all of the students the enjoyment which must come with an understanding of the best that music has to offer. SONG CONTEST The Song Contest committee announced this week that the first prize of forty dollars, appropriated by the Board of Control for the winning number in the contest to obtain a suitable song for Normal, had been withheld. This was because it was felt that none of the compositions entered were as good as the committee thought necessary for the school. According to authorities, song writing is a difficult and intricate art. To write a truly great song, the authorities tell us, the writer must be in the throes of inspiration, which seems to not always be stimulated by a contest. Why not leave the first prize open for the first composer who can write a satisfactory song?. Why not put it out at interest, and let the composer have it who can write as good a song as the school deserves ? Forty dollars should be a very satisfactory reward for a good piece of work, and one of these days, maybe this year and maybe next year, someone may write the kind of a song that will catch the spirit of our Normal school, and when it is written, why not award the first prize then? W e should have a really good song, and forty dollars should fan the flame of inspiration when it does start burning. N O W G O I N G O N— The Viking hopes to get a serious and enthusiastic response from the student body in the little "Letter to the Editor" contest, which is announced in this issue. The Viking'is offering a beautiful book to the writer of the best letter on " W h y I Like Normal." The first of these letters will be published in next week's Viking, and every student in school is eligible to enter, with the exception of the Editor and the Associate Editor, and members of their families. The Sad, Sad Tale of the Sad, Sad . Fate of a Horse That Ran Amuck The old horse heard the awful words, "Tomorrow he'll race the Ford," they said. "What glorious, glorious, sport we'll have." ' But the horse was silent. The more he thought the madder ' he got; He stamped and swore in the quiet night; He broke his rope and went tearing .-• ; ",oft,. . '•;••: And was not so silent. The cops were summoned to Henry street, The horse was distressing the city's peace. They-shot him dead for the good of the cause, And he lay there silent. They're serving up meat loaf at Edens Hall, And the students halt when you holler ^whoa!" Jack Musser refuses to say a word, And the horse is silent! HENNAS K RAINLESS ^P 1 1 O Well, here y'are., studes We've been trying some deep investigation. Y'know how everybody trips over those little brass-collared strips that run along the lt; edge of each step of the stairways of this building? Well, we kinda got to wondering what the heck they were turned up that way for, anyway. And we did a n awful lot of figuring; but, darn it, we couldn't seem to get anyplace. When the problem first struck us, we thought we'd solved it in the first minute. We figured that the shoe-mender's union had prob'Iy bribed the carpenters to put 'em on that way, so as to make a little ext ra business. Now, that wouldn't have been a bad. idea, either. Many's the high heel and many's the low heel we've seen parted from its-shoe on these blinkin' stairs, and we prob'Iy haven't seen everything, either. And, of course, the extra j work that's made for. the doctors might be a factor, too. Gee, we've seen people break arms or legs or backs or maybe heads lots of times, (and once we really did see a girl sprain her ankle) as they went tripping merrily down those stairs. And then, when they turned up those edges, they might have been thinkiri about the Way girls are always carrying armloads of junk and dropping things around. Y'see, things like pencils or compacts that are dropped on ordinary stairs will go a'rolling clear to the bottom. But not on ours! On ours they'll roll just the width of one step, and then they'll hit that little turned-up hunk of metal and stop! So that's one good thing. The guy that planned those rigs out might have been aiming to have quieter halls, too. You know the way kids that are a minute late go running and tearing all over. Going down stairs they'll hit the very edge of about every other step. Now, gee, you can easily see what an unholy clatter there would be if there was bare linoleum on those edges.. The metal along there makes it quieter, all right, but that doesn't explain why they turned it up. One reason might have been to make everybody step up high and quit dragging their feet all over. To be absolutely sure of clearing those little hurdles you have to step up about four inches higher than otherwise would be necessary. Doesn't look bad when everybody's doing that, either. Kind of a military effect, like the Swedish army. o .... A fellow we were talking to gave us an explanation of the affair, but we're kind of skeptical about his ideas. He said that linoleum was terribly springy stuff, and ordinary nails would not hold it down flat, since it had a constant tendency to roll itself up. So they just put that piece of metal along each edge, there, to serve as an anchox*, and weight it down. And the fellows that were putting it on let the edge turn up thai way so that their nails wouldn't roU down stairs. 'Bout the" last thing we thought of was the idea that those li'I old strips must help in preventing the spread of crawling animals and.insects and bugs and things. If a flea, for instance, was., strolling., downstairs, he'd run right up under that edge, and he'd see it was just a blind alley, and ten to one he'd be altogether disgusted and would beat it back for home again. And if he was traveling up-stairs, he'd come clambering up over the edge of the step and t ry to grab a hold on that slippery metal and ten to one he'd slip back and plunge to regions below, thereby making a total mess of himself. And that would be that! But, blame it all, after all this probing • inquiry and profound contemplation, we fail to arrive at any acceptable hypothesis for the whole business. We've handed you all the dope we were able to collect, now. See if you can figure it out. And here's luck to you! ALUnkNA WRITES Gordon Leen received a letter this week from Vivian Hancock, who is now at Walla Walla, congratulating the men of the school on their recently acquired club room. "Congratulations, oh ye valiant Viking men," Miss Hancock writes, "who out-talked the fairer ones and now have a room wherein ye may rest your minds where they must fear to tread." MAPLE BARKS By IRENE SCHAGEL The wind has been blowing down our way lately and about half the time in our direction.

The Frosh do not seem to be as strong as they generally are as they have dropped several games this year to fairly weak teams, and probably will be an easy match for the nine men "Pop" Gunn will send on the field Friday. We have had a fairly successful season so far. We have won one game and lost two. but both of the last games were by close scores and were won by luck. There is one factor that will have an effect, on the team, and that is* if there is a big crowd of students backing the team it is more apt to come through with a victory. I'll be seeing you at the game Saturday. TRACK SQUAD OVERWHELMS C. P. S. For the first time in years the Viking track squad did it. When the relay was finished and the points all added up the results read as follows: Bellingham, 78 1-3; College of Puget Sound, 51 2-3. The Normal cindermen really overwhelmed the C. P. S. track squad by taking 9 firsts out of the possible 14. The dope was all set for C. P. S. to easily take the met but that just goes to show you how much you can count on dope. Plummer of C. P. S. was individual high point man with 15 points, while Shelton, our weight man, was high point man for us with a total of 11 points. NET MEN TO TANGLE WITH FROSH Also this afternoon at 3 o'clock ,the Viking netmen will meet the U. of W. Frosh in a return match. In the first meet with the Frosh the Normal tennis squad was. not as successful as probably could be expected of it, but the return matches promise to be much more interesting. At least they should be when playing on our own courts. The tennis team is rather weak this season but may develop into a Tri- | Normal championship squad. The Tri-Normal matches will be played on the same day as the track meet is held, May 24. Those who do not care for track or baseball may get their pleasure watching the Norse-netmen pound the ball around for their old Alma Mater. Robin Hood had nothing on our i fair female archers, when he started a match in Sherwood Forest. Our girls have started one in back of the grandstand. By looks of the matches, Bertha Hunt is still sitting upon the pile of the fallen victims, holding her bow ready for another unlucky person. The matches are causing much enjoyment for all. There are quite a number left to shoot. When all have shot one match, the best three Freshmen and best three Sopho - mores will be picked for the winning teams. Then they will all shoot a match and the best two will be picked for the All-Star team of the school. VIKINGS WIN FROM SOUNDTRACK TEAM Viking Cinder Men Overwhelm College of Puget Sound in Meet Held Last Week at Tacoma. * M I C E JOHNSON IS LEADER IN TENNIS First Five Places Held by Johnson, Bendixon, Bergeron, Marchand, in Women's Ladder Tournament. Viking Baseball Team Meet U. of W. Frosh Tomorrow at Seattle Tomorrow the Viking baseball team meets the strong U. of W. Frosh team at Seattle. To date the Vikings have lost two games and have won one. Should they win tomorrow, they will' have a .500 per cent average. The pitching will probably be divided between "Ing" Iverson and "Tiny" Blankenship, both boys having performed creditably in their past games. "Pop" Gunn is not say ing much about the game, but the "Learned Dope Predictors" predict a close game with a probable Viking victory. The boys are all set to give the "Husky Babes" a hard fight and show them a thing or two about baseball. Saturday the Viking ball team came into its own and handed the St. Martin's College nine the short end of a 3 to 2 score. This victory puts the Normal team on even terms with the "Lacey Boys," having lost one game and won one. The game was a tight one, with St. Martin's scoring first in the fifth and again in the eighth. The "Lucky Seventh" was the Viking's big inning, scoring three runs on two hits and an error. Iverson started on the mound for Normal, but was replaced in the sixth by Blankenship,, when his arm began to show the effects of a steady attack of curve balls. Altogether it was a great day for the Viking warriors1, the boys getting the best of the Runs, Hits and Errors. Score: R. H. E. Bellingham 000 000 300—3 6 4 St. Martin 000 010 010—2 5 3 o HANDBALL, HORSESHOE INTRAMURALS SUFFER Handball and horseshoes have been suffering of late from a lack of Interest among the participants. "Pop" Gunn and Kenneth Owen engaged in a terrific handball battle the other day, both winning a game. The tie is to be played off a t ' a later day. Should "Pop" Gunn win the playoff he would be leading the pack and would be the only man not to have suffered a defeat, if he should lose, Owen would have that honor. At present Owen is.at the top of the ladder and Owen is in third place. : (J : f_ A hollow head on a new golf club helps to correct poor drives as Jt, will whistle when swung squarely. Piling up many points in the distance runs and hurdles, the Normal Vikings defeated the College of Puget Sound tracksters, 78 1-3 to 51 2-3 in a meet held at the latter's field. The meet, held Friday, May 9, was exciting and close all the way. Bellingham took nine first places and the Loggers six. Carboneau showed good form to win both the 440 and the 800-yard runs in good time. Plummer of C. P. S. was high point man of the meet with 15 points, while his team-mate, Garner, was next with 10.

Normal now attending the University of Washington, will play the part of the "Sheriff of Nottingham" in Robin Hood, tne opera to be given this spring quarter. Mr. Kerr has shown promising ability, having played the character leads in both the fall and winter quarters at the University. Bernice Johnson leads the ladder tournament, having defeated Beatrice Johnson 6-1, 6-1, last Wednesday evening. Gladys Steele walked into fifth place when she beat Florence Elliott, 6-1, 6-2. Margaret Kerr moved to seventh place by taking Grace Hess, 6-1, 6-1, and Marion Marchand holds on to eighth place, having defeated Grace Hess 6-1, 6-3. In the matches played yesterday Marion Marchand took fifth place by defeating Florence Elliot 6-0, 6-0, and Gladys Steel 6-0, 6-4. The ladder tournament has been changed so that a girl may challenge anyone above her except the girls in the first five places. When she comes that near to the tournament she must go back to regulation rules and is limited in challenging to one or two above her. Girls in the first five places are Bernice Johnson, Beatrice Johnson, Ray Bendixon, Louisette Bergeron, and Marion Marchand. Louisette Bergeron is to play Ray Bendixon some time today. _ o Green Team Leads Intramural Games In Speedball Sport W. A. A. Sells Tickets For "The Rogue Song" At Mt. Baker, Now The green team in the intramural speedball games holds all the laurels, having won the first two contests. To win the championship, three out of five games must be won. The scores, in favor of the. Greens, are: First game, 22-16; and .second game, 16-15. Miss Margery Horton is coaching speedball, while Florence Goodman is manager for the quarter. The Greens, captained by Evelyn Forrest, are Florence Goodman, Ann Swanson, Thelma Engleson, Mari-ette Bergeron,. Lorena Burke, Thelma Hilburger, Kathryn Graham, Gay Smith, Vera Waham, and Sig-rid Wiberg. The Yellow team, under Virginia Carleton, has Joyce Arnold, Kather-in Zeran, Alice Babcock, Vina Smith. Bernice Gnagey, Irene Marz, Ruth Sammons, Vera Peterson, Helen Williams, and Hope Whitenack. Substitutes are Marion Marchand, Clara Zaddock, Aileen Hurlburt, and Sue McMillan. DEMURE MAIDEN IS VICTIM OF GOLF GAME She was a sweet, demure, innocent little creature, timid of voice and eye. The very wind seemed to be strong enough to sweep her off of her feet. When one looked for her, she was to be found in the library, busily preparing herself for future class discussions. And then she took up golf! Loud is her voice as she yells down the fairways. Her language, used on occasions, would put a pirate to shame. Bold and defiant is her manner as she takes her stance to tee off. Hours on hours she practices hitting the little pill that has changed her life. Slowly, but surely shes headed for Sedro—the final resting place of all golfers. o "Cowboys" Lead Game With "Smokeater" Nine Hunnicutt's "Cowboys" held: a track meet with the lowly "Smoke-eaters" last Monday in the form of a baseball game and beat them 11 to 4. It was in the first inning that the big race was held, the "Boys" scoring seven tallies with the help of two homeruns and two three baggers. Wednesday's game between the "Sheepherders" and the "Smoke-eaters" was given to the "Smoke-eaters," as the "Sheepmen" failed to show up. This victory gives the "Smoke eaters" a .500 average, the highest they have enjoyed this season. "The Rogue Song," starring Lawrence Tibbett, world-famous baritone, is playing at the Mount Baker, and the W. A. A. members are selling tickets for the last time today. These tickets are good only for this afternoon's matinee and the evening performance, but- W. A. A. asks if you are planning to go to the show, try and make it today for the proceeds from the ticket sale go toward Viqueen lodge, on Sinclair Island. This is the last event this year that the Womens Athletic Association will carry to raise money. They have, during the year, sponsored a "rec" hour, Tony Sarg's Marionettes, and the U. A. A. Spring showers dance. "The Rogue Song" is considered an excellent production and is especially interesting to Normal students since Lawrence Tibbett was one of the musical artists brought here the last year. Katherine Zeran is in charge of the ticket sale, and working under her are Louisette Bergeron, handling tickets, and Marion Marchand, advertising. Girls selling tickets are Helen McNeil, Hope Whiteneck, Sigrid Wiberg, Charmine Whalley, Bernice Johnson, Margaret Sheppard, Joyce Arnold, Lois Thompson, Vera Peterson, Louise Oberleitner, Edythe Koski, Marie Dahle, Bertha Schreid-ner, Sue McMillan, Iola Grue, Alice Babcock, Ruth Sammons, Vera Wa-han, Helen Williams, ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 16 - Page 4 ---------- ^ i j M f ^ J WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM,WASHINGTON CAMFUS CLEANUP OF TRASH AND DIRT is REAL SUCCESS jAnnual Campus Day Goes Off Smoothly With a Combination of Work and Play and Big Lunch. Another Campus Day is over and a huge success! Sunburned faces, stiff joints, aching limbs, mercuro-chrome bedabbed scratches, and a clean campus are exhibits one, two, three, etc., respectively in the accumulated evidence of the fact. The inaugural assembly at 8:30 o'clock featured the "Follies of 1933." The Follies, ably announced and directed by Charles Dewey, gave ample opportunity for those dainty and whimsical dances, "Misses" Benny Benthein, John Smith, Al Brazas, Jack Musser, Aubrey Lundburg, Rudolph Geri and Lou Lanegren, to display their talent. "Peewee," the troupe's premier danseuse (Bill Mock, Jr.), did a very graceful "execution" of the "La Doubtful Dance." Immediately following the assembly the officers of the day dispatched the squads to various parts of the campus, where a general and thorough cleanup followed, until about 11:15 o'clock. Then the "bread line" formed in fron tof the grandstand. Here sacked lunches and a choice of pop or milk were given the workers. The afternoon's program consisted of a track meet on Waldo Field. The officials were: Starter, Fisher; referee, Bond; announcer, Arntzen; scorer, Philippi; judges of the finish first, Jones and Bever; 2nd, TUlin and Kibbe; third, Kangley and Car-rell; fourth, Sundquist and Williams, and baseball umpires, Fisher | and Bond. The four student captains were John Dixon, Red; Chas. Dewey, Green,- Alex Kuzmoski, Blue, and Ted Pederson, Orange. The events for the afternoon were circle relay, wheelbarrow race, potato race, stilt race, tug-of-war, preliminaries and finals, baseball games, Red vs. Greens, Blue vs. Orange, finals, and Faculty vs. a girls' team, and Reynolds HalJ-Firehall Water Fight. The water fight was nearly called off since the Bellingham Fire Department was busy at the Edison fire, but they arrived finally and the program continued. • The "Firemen" from 630 High street, won a decisive victory by a washout and lived up to their name. ; The day was concluded by a dance at the Armory with the "Eight Bumblebees" playing. , At midnight the day was officially announced as o'er and hundreds of happy but tired students "turned in." PRESIDENT FISHER TALKS TO STUDENT President C. H. Fisher spoke before the student body in the regular assembly, Friday, May 9. President C. H. Fisher spoke of the trips some of the faculty members have been making to various high schools in the state and of the type of work they have been doing. The purpose of these trips, he explained, was to acquaint high school pupils with the Normal school and get them interested in it. He said that he found that many of these students did not have a clear conception of the work done by the Normal schools, and it is this fact which prevents students from attending these institutions in greater numbers. According to President Fisher, the students of Bellingham Normal can do more to advertise their school by calling the attention of high school friends to the possibilities M the Normal school, than can be done by any other means. He particularly stressed this point, and asked that students remember it. o—— NAMES WANTED FOR GAUCO DOGS With their tails high and their. ears flapped forward in a welcoming gesture, three calico dogs greeted Miss Mildred Jewell, Miss Ruth Weythman and Miss Margery Hor- ' ton on their entrance into the P. E. office last Monday. The dogs' arrival was entirely unexpected and so their origin is a bit doubtful. However ,they are supposed to be the highest type of thoroughbreds and, according to Miss Jewell, belong to the washable gingham family. They have notorious expressions; and for their age are considered quite intelligent. No names have been bestowed on the canine forms, but a formal christening party is to be held soon for the orphans. Any suggestions should be turned into the P. E. office— but educational names only can be considered. o The Harvard Classic Study club met with Miss Nora B. Cummins, instructor in the history department, at the Y. W. C. A. building last Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. £LUB (iflTtj GUNDERSON—HALVORSEN Saturday, May 10, occurred the marriage of Miss Olive Gunderson to Mr. Alfred Halvorsen, of Seattle, at her home in East Stanwood. The ceremony was a simple affair held in the presence of a few intimate friends and relatives. Miss Margaret McKinnon was the only attendant of the bride. An informal reception was held after the wedding ceremony and later in the evening the bride and groom slipped away, leaving for a motor tour through Southern California. Mrs. Halvorsen had been employed for a number of years with the Normal school, filling several positions during her employment. o- ENGER HALL Miss Hazel Erickson and Charles Moore, of Fall City, called on Alice Erickson, Saturday. Miss Irene Wilson was the weekend guest of Margaret Kendal. Alice Lavos spent the week-end visiting with friends in Ferndale. The girls enjoyed a theater party Saturday evening. o POWELL MANOR Ernestine Archibald spent the week-end at her home in Vancouver, B. C. Helen Bessey spent Friday night with Elsie Harvey. Gladys McColm visited her home in Snohomish over the week-end. Helen Bessey, Daisy Mooney and Elsie Harvey attended the boat-races at Lake Whatcom, Saturday. o Training School FIRST GRADE ASSEMBLY "A Year in the First Grade" was the interesting subject of the trairv-ing school assembly Friday morning, May 18. Miss Strickland, teacher of the first grade, aided her class hi working up a most entertaining program, which took the form of a summary of the entire year's work. The first half of the hour was devoted to expressing the various ways the units of work found most interesting by the children themselves. The following is the year's program by order of months: In September, a study of boats and airplanes was made; in October, a trip to the North King at the P. A. F. docks and the harvesting of garden products were the events of interest. November brought Thanksgiving and a study of cooking! December, Christmas. In January, the play house was furnished, and during February and March time was taken up with city play. April, May and June are devoted exclusively to the garden. The second part of the program was a play, "The Laughing Garden," dramatized to music. The costumes and stage settings were made by the children, and all the first graders took part in making it a great success. o MRS WILLIAMS JUDGES Mrs. Pelagius Williams was one of the judges in the Poppy Day essay contest which was conducted in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades of the ten city schools, under the auspices of the American Legion's auxiliary. The contest ended yesterday. The theme of the essays is "What the Poppy Means to Me." As the armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, nearly all of the essayists were born since the war, the conception of the meaning of the Flanders poppies is therefore a matter of education. The committee says that it will be interesting to get their interpretation. lJUST i !

TRI-NORMAL MEET HERE NEXT WEEK SHORT STORY TJe came crown the hall tc meet her. The glance of love was in their eyes. He was clean shaven, had a new shirt, new tie, new sweater, perfect hair comb, well shined shoes, and last but not least an old but well pressed pair of blue serge trousers. They talked sweet love things for awhile, with expressions of "fogginess" • on their faces, and a slight catch of the breath as they talked. Then he left, and she, gazing fondly after him, noticed the blue serge trousers and their shiny pressed-too-often appearance. Her head tilted slightly sideways, and with a big sigh she remarked, "All is not gold that gutters". T.N.P.

Normalite AUGUUSTINE COMMANDS EASTMAN TURKEY By MA* Stewart Impressions from the Passion Play Scenery: The Clouds. Scenes: The Crucifixion Characters: Judas. W.S.N.S. Prom St. Augustine: "What is now called the Christian religion, has existed among the ancients, and was not absent from the beginning of the human race, until Christ came in the flesh; from which time the true religion, which existed already, began to be called Christian." W.S.N.S. And from Max Mueller: "Though sometimes hidden, the essential elements of all religions rise again and again to the surface. Though frequently distorted, they tend again and again to their perfect form." If this be true, may not some good come from Russia's atheistic experiment which will remove distortions and prejudices from immature minds? W.S.N.S. Three of Gandhi's ten commandments: 1. Abstaining from the possession of things in themselves. 2. Adherence to life's law that one's bread must be earned by the sweat of one's brow. 3. Belief that man's primary duty is to serve his-neighbor. - Nice topics for Sunday sermons •r discussion clubs, but rather out of tune with the practical philosophy necessary for success in a capitalistic world. W.S.N.S. George Eastman, friend of Edison and Burroughs, solver of unemployment problems within his own organization, has 'said: "To say you are a success is to say you are 'down and out'; there is always something more to work for." With a liking for the letter "k", Eastman coined the word "kodak" by simply inserting the rest. W.S.N.S. , Prom "A Glimpse of the New Education in Turkey": "Girls sat among the boys; it was co-educational, and perhaps the most surprising of all was the young woman teacher who dared to lift her voice as one freed from male domination and capable of leading the young. "The Story of now, in less than a year, Turkey has taught herself a new wriiien language is both revolutionary and spectacular.*' Results are always spectacular when a sincere thirst for knowledge meets no strong hindrance. W.S.N.S. 1 NASH PRESENTS VIEWS ON CAUSES OF DIRECTOR OF ASSOCIATION DISCUSSES LEAGUE WORK IN ASSEMBLY ON TUESDAY. MANY POSITIONS Excerpts from new Chinese laws: "The duty of a wife to obey her husband, provided in the old law, is not recognized by the new . . . . Whereas under the old law a married woman . . . could not dispose of her properly without her husband's consent; under the new laws women enjoy full and unrestricted disposing capacity." To get a divorce all that has to be done is call in a couple of neighbors who witness the declaration of intention to separate. The divorce is then in effect. And a hundred years ago the Europeans feared the effects of the radical policies of America. America now is very old fashioned. ; — o ~ •••• The roses make the world so sweet; The bees, the birds have such a tune, There's such a light and such a heat, • " ••'- And such a joy in June. '';'•',.-H. According to Mr. Phillip C. Nash, ex-member of the National World Court committee, and present director of the League of Nations association, there would have been no World War in 1914 if there had been a court to which the grievances of the nations involved could have presented. Mr. Nash expounded this and many other ideas concerning world peace in his lecture "The Machinery of Peace," in the assembly last Tuesday morning. He attributes the absence of major wars between European countries during the past eight years to the industry of the men working for international arbitration. As an illustration, he used the controver-. sy between Greece and Bulgaria, which, but for the intervention of representatives from other nations, Would have proved very" serious. Born in Hingham, Mass., Mr. Nash has retained all of he New Englander's admiration for correctness and preciseness of details. It is these two traits that he so admires in the organization of the league. In 1911 he graduated from Harvard in Civil Engineering. Prom 1913 until the World War, he was engineer of the Boston Transit company. After the war he was appointed Professor of Civil Engineering at Northeastern College, following which he became Dean of Antioch College at Antioch, O. Later he was appointed President of the Association of Presidents and Deans of the Ohio State Colleges. Mr. Nash has spent a great deal of time in Geneva, studying the peace proposal, and has taken an active interest in all international affairs brought before the men there. He expressed regret that the United States was not to be legally represented at the conference to be held in Geneva, in February. He was vice-chairman of the Committee for the tenth anniversary of the League of Nations, when it welcomed general Jan Christian Smutts to the United States. FOUR STUDENTS ARE PLACED IN TEACHING POSITIONS BY BUREAU Miss Elizabeth Hopper reports that four students have secured teaching positions during the past week. Helen Blozam will teach grades one to four at Lamoille, Nev. Helen Oman is to have one of the primary grades at Sequim; Irene Wilson is to teach a rural school near Lapush; and Opal Robb will have the fourth or fifth grade at Sheltbn. o HIKE TO HANNE6AN CLOSES SCHEDULE BIRTHDAY PARTY FEATURES NIGHT AT RANGER'S CAMP. FREIBURG ARTISTS THRILL NORMAL SCHOOL SPONSORS BELLINGHAM PRODUCTION AT AMERICAN THEATER. CHURCH GIVES TALK SECRETARY TO PRESIDENT STATES CHINA CONDITIONS. Twenty-five NOrmalites brought the program of week-end camping trips to a triumphant close with a stay at Hannegari Pass last Saturday and Sunday. The party left the campus at noon Friday and hiked six miles, to the forest ranger's camp, where the -night was spent. A birthday party for E. J. Arntzen was featured, a cake and candles having been carried in for the occasion. Reached by Noon The pass itself, which is at an elevation of 5000 feet, was reached by noon Saturday, and camp was made in the tree-dotted heather meadows near a shallow lake. Goat Mountain was scaled in the afternoon. In the evening a program of stunts was put on, consisting of several dramatizations, said to be quite professional; and a most heartrending sdlb By'Mr. ErA. BOnd. Mr. Arntzen aroused the usual jealousy by slinging his trusty hammock and retiring in it, equipped with sleeping bag and sheet. On Sunday several members of the group climbed Ruth Mountain, from where Mount Shuksan and Mount Baker lodge are visible. A herd of mountain goats was seen, also a brood of young ptarmigans and a porcupine. Participants are unanimous in declaring the trip one of the most pleasant and interesting of the summer. o TRUANT FROG EXCITES PAGEANTS VIVID ABUNDANT ANIMAL LD7E IS HELP IN BIOLOGY STUDIES. The man who has time to read, itudy and expand his capacity, is the one who gets atooktti^?^)-: Miss Ethel Church,. secretary to President Fisher, gave a talk before Mr. Pelagius Williams' class on the History of the Orient, last Tuesday. Three Years There Miss Church, who spent three years in Shanghai, China doing secretarial and teaching work, spoke most interestingly and sympathetically of the Chinese people as she came to know them during her stay in the country. Contrary to current opinion, Miss Church said that the Chinese people practice personal cleanliness and; hygiene, but pay little attention to public health and sanitation. Excursions Many . Her excursions on foot, and by boat and train into the hinterland, gave a real insight into the ways and manners of the Chinese outside the port cities. Miss Church lias a very fine collection of pictures of Chinese public buildings, and photographs of the people in their native surroundings. These were passed among the members of the class and gave added reality to her recital. Mr. Williams is inviting a number of local people who know the Orient, to speak from time to time befdre the class. | '•••''•• gt;'•• A truant frog from an aquarium belonging to the nature study class, caused some excitement this week by going for a 'hop' down the hall outside room 202. After a most unmerited turmoil, he was captured and restored to his aquarium; but having seen a part of the world, he thirsted for wider travel, so he again made his escape. This time he was discovered by a field biology student, much to her delight and amazement, and she has taken measures to keep the runaway where he belongs. This should be a comfort to those of a timid nature. Animal life is becoming abundant about the building, apparently. A large lutescent warbler with literary aspirations made himself a prisoner in' the Viking office last Wednesday. He was not accepted as a member of the staff. The class in field biology made a trip to Whatcom Palls park, Thursday, and is now arranging aquariums for observation. -o THESPIANS TO PARTY AT CULTUS LAKE, B. C. Prom the strokes of the bell which foretold the rise of the curtain on act I of the Freiburg Passion Play, to the fall of the curtain on the last act, a reverence, which is inspired by seeing such a production, held the audiences spellbound at the American theater during three days this week. . The age-old drama was sponsored by the Normal school and played Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings* and Wednesday afternoon to Bellingham and Whatcom county audiences at the American theater. The drama was staged by the original players from Freiburg, Baden, Germany, under the direction of Adolph Passnacht, who is featured in the character role of the Christus. All in German Although the play is given entirely in German, it loses hone of its forcefulness, the action being so well defined in its Biblical sources that the audience is enabled to follow the familiar story. Eacli character was excellent in his particular role. Adolph Fass-nacht, as the Christus, impressed the audience with his gentleness, sufferance, and holiness. Judas, played by Willi Ehrardt, was crafty and arrogant, in his plotting, with _fthe priests for the betrayal. This lends vividness and drama to his later appearance, as a man beaten down by anger and remorse. Leading Roles The two leading feminine roles, Mary, the mother, and Mary Mag gt; delena, as portrayed by Elsa Pass CLASS MAKES MODEL MODERN DINING ROOM FOR SHELTER STUDY As a basis for the study of utensils and shelter, one section of Miss Zeal Z. Wilson's la industrial arts group has constructed a model for a dining room of a modern home. Color Scheme The class worked out a color scheme, and made the wall paper, furniture, drapes, and china. This was a co-operative project to which all contributed. The furniture was constructed from fruit boxes and, in the absence of other furniture, could be used for a iibrary, a reading corner, or a grocery store. o IVARSON WILL SING HERE NEXT TUESDAY SINGER WILL BE ACCOMPANIED ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 August 7 - Page 2 ---------- WASHIISK^R^ NOR' Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Founded 1899 Published evfery Friday except during the month of September, by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingham.

Do you remember, not so long ago, when visitors wrote us from the East coast, asking information on our recipe for such good lawns. Egad! It has been a long time since students and faculty members have praised any speaker or artist the way that they have Dean Ralph Dennis. There may be complaints in regard to students • refraining from assembly attendance, but the satisfaction received and the support lent this visitor, take away all our desires to criticise from any standpoint. Our compliments to you, Dennis. o Another invention has been discovered and added to the list of labor savers about the school. One couldnt find a handier place than the phone booths for depositing candy wrappers, apple cores, old notes, and torn photos. We had trouble getting into one the other day, but the janitor's force came to the aid with shovel and broom. The tennis courts have been fairly well covered with old newspapers and lunch bags. They will have to be removed, so somebody had better leave a call for the new Vigilance committee and a pair of good brooms. r gt; . There has been quite a bit said lately by the men of the school in regard to the way that work is let out about school, based principally around whether or not some of the employed are needing work, or entitled to it. We have been asked to champion the job seekers, though we doubt that all of them are particularly desirous of actually getting work. We have held out student opinions owing to our skepticism as to the merits of the "case". Opportunities for students to work here are excellent, and, as far as we know, they are given a decent "break". As to the technical points in the issuance of jobs, we are in no position to judge. Therefore we state that any grievances should be taken directly to those responsible for the handling of employment, and in all probability everything will be settled to the satisfaction of all. A loaded cannonball, ready for firing, has been found on the Gettysburg battlefields. Worthless to the army, but we'd be sitting pretty if we possessed the sum it will bring, "museumly" speaking. o We've found a sure way to get rid of paid "braggers" attempting to route tourists toward their respective communities and resorts. Let it be known that you are an employment seeker. EDITOR'S NOTE: The writer of this column is a. former conductor of Normal-ite, as- well as other Viking features, and we appreciate having some of the ol' gang "dropping around by mail." Not so many years before he became managing editor of the New York Times, Charles Rancom Miller wrote the following lines: "Alas, Alas, the melencholy days are here, "A little too hot for whiskey straight, a little to cool for beer." Like the eminent Mr.: Miller, we feel the melancholy days are here, but unlike him, we know nothing about the second line of his couplet. Should we create a couplet for ourselves, we might say: "Alas, alas, the melancholy days are here. "Vacation a bit too quickly gone, its end a bit too near." These are the days when we browse like bulls in the fields of thought, and snorting and pawing, blindly dash at any red flag which may be waved. In the last two weeks I've had three heavy arguments on religion and one on the economic situation. The1 later, I discovered, is "crooshal." There ought to be a law. If Roger Babson is right in his declaration that prosperity is accompanied by a lessened respect for religion and adversity by a new regard for its teachings, there are a few of us who ought, to be rushing for the holy orders. Like necessity, adversity is the mother of invention. We'd like to know, judging from some of the inventions, who the father was. Ten to one, when he learned of the sad news, he up and joined the navy. The largest brood of this universal mother has been wisecracks, however. Some of the best are really the worst, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the fellow who writes them is getting paid for it. It's all ill-wind that blows across the garbage dump. When education and the movies trip hand in hand through the world of learning, I'm going to Rollins College and enroll in their course in evil—taught a year or so ago by Cora Harris. Imagine Clara Bow starred in some afternoon's lecture! o Neighbor—Did I bring your lawn mower back last fall? Indignant Householder—No, you did not. Neighbor—Now, what'll I do?

Edwin Hunnicutt Finally Condescends MISS ANNA ULLIN WVES TRAVEL To Have His Past Fluently Discussed We viewed, with apparent interest, an extremely satisfied looking bunch of humanity reposing quietly in a patch of golden sunlight. We tapped his shoulder inquiringly and found it to be none other than that much-talked-of and well-known "Eddie" (Spud) Hunnicut. We began cross-examining the lad and, still retaining his peaceful attitude, he gathered energy and prepared to combat our numerous questions. Born in Idaho He was born in Idaho, but didn't: stay there long. He graduated from Anacortes high school and has been: at the Normal for eleven quarters. He acted as athletic manager for eight quarters, during five of which he was head manager. As for his hobbies, (we weep bitterly to find it so) he jumps agilely forth at the mere mention of golf; and he spends, in the company of several of our other addicts, a considerable portion of his time on the green... Mr. Hunnicut likes baseball, too! (That was a little relief after the first big shock. Teaches a Year "I taught a year at Port Orchard," he told us. "I taught arithmetic and coached on the side." When asked if he expected to be an arithmetic teacher in the future, he firmly replied in the negative, and said that his teaching hopes ran along physical education lines. Last, but certainly not least, Eddie is head of the kitchen crew, a noble occupation, without, a doubt! He has worked in the kitchen for 10 quarters and has been the head of that important department for four: quarters. Returns with Yawn So ended our cross-examination and our victim returned to his spot of repose with a yawn, resuming, a t the same time, his usual peaceful' expression. .... , Born in Sweden While prying around the building with the usual inquisitiveness * of our nature, taking the upper hand, we. looked through, a. window and saw, to our immediate delight, Miss Anna Ullin. We made our impressive entrance, pulled forth a chair and sat down. She promised cheerfully to answer all questions. Miss UUin was born in Sweden and stayed there until she was" two years of age. She graduated from, high school in Michigan, .receiving her A. B. degree at the University of Washington and her master's degree at Columbia University. She has been at the Normal since 1922, with the exception of two years, which she spent in travel. Three Trips 2 She has been to Europe three different times, visiting Prance, Spain, Italy, Germany, and numerous other places. "Paris," she told us, "is the place I enjoyed most." She went on to explain, however, that it was not the shopping that interested her especially (as many people expect from the fair sex) but the The Northwestern National Bank Bellingham, Wash.

Oh! Lobkit! WILL PLAY AGAIN Proving themselves by far the stronger aggregation, the Normal ball tossers experienced little difficulty in defeating the U. of W. nine by a score of 7 to 2 at Battersby Field yesterday afternoon. Score in Second Four hits and three bases on balls netted four runs for the Vikings in the second inning when the entire line-up made the trip to the plate. The Huskies scored once in the fifth and again in the sixth. In the last of the seventh the Normal-ites ended the scoring for the game by crossing the plate three times. Thorlakson pitched four innings of air tight ball, striking out four men and permitting no hits. Van- Over relieved him in the fifth. Van struck out five batters and exhibited a fast ball which should worry Ellensburg and Cheney players next Spring. Strong Infield An infield composed of Dreeszen, Boulton, Kure and McClurken would gladden the heart of any coach. The outfielders, Comfort, Bowman, and Iverson, were given but few chances but they gave good account of themselves at the bat. In the third inning, when an error and an accident placed May, of the University, on third. McClurken, fielding three fast grounders, held May on the bag while he threw the batters out at first. In the last of the sixth, the Vikings were retired on three thrown balls. Each batter accepted the first offering of Listun who did the mound work for the Huskies. The teams clash again next Wednesday in Seattle, and the Vikings should repeat as they play a superior brand of ball. TEAM— R. H. E.

Fifteen men signed up for the tournament and were paired for playing in the following order: Thorsen and Kirk, Hale and Reeves, Dingerson and Hunnicutt, Wilder and Large, Skotheim and Beighle, Gunn and Keplinger, Thompson and Olds, and Pedersen, for whom an opponent has not yet been signed. In the early contests of the tournament Hale defeated Reeves, while Dingerson eliminated Hunnicutt. The first round must be played this week. The matches may be played at either Lakeway or Riverside courses, and must be over 18 holes. o HELEN MOODY WILL ATTEMPT TO REGAIN WIGHTMAN NET CUP With Mrs. Helen Wills Moody carrying the burden arid playing in three of the seven matches in New York yesterday, the United States launched a determined offensive at Forest Hills to regain the Wightman tennis cup, symbol of international team supremacy, from England. Mrs. Moody will open the firing against Phillis Mudford, who defeated Sarah Palfrey in the series at Wimbledon last year. hTe Cali-fornian will play B^etty Nuthall, England's Number ^and American champion, Saturday, and will then pair with Mrs. L./A. Harper against Miss Nuthall* and Mrs. Ellen Whit-tingstall in whai may be the deciding doubles encounter. The other two singles matches today will see Helen Jacobs playing Miss Nuthall, whom'ishe defeated at Wimbledon, and Mrs. Harper arrayed against Dor,6thy Round, the Number 3 player fit the English side.

Gaw, is shown going into action for the first time with a diminutive Darling of the screen as the lucky girl is taken on a tour of all the wonders of the mid-western metropolis. George's "girl friend" is a darling in more ways than one, for her name is Jean Darling. She's leading "woman" of the "Our Gang" comedies. Kirk's Men Nose Out Bragi in Ball Game By 6-5 Count, Tues. Kirk's Unemployed team defeated the Bragi Tuesday evening in an exciting game by the score of 6.-5. The loser was destined for the celr-lar position, and that it was anybody's ball game until the final out, is evidenced by the fact that an extra inning was required to decide the affair. Thursday's intramural game between the Farmers and Little Daisies, has been postponed until Monday evening, August 10, on account, of its conflict with the game scheduled yesterday with the team from the University of Washington. The Farmers and the Daisies each have won a game, so Monday's victor takes first place in the league standings. lt; Won Lost Pet.

Do you know where the furniture that you use in your home comes from? Do you know of what materials it is made? These are just a few of the questions that were answered in a talk today on furniture, given by Mr. Wm. J. Carter, of the B. B. Furniture company, to Mr. Ruckmick's industrial arts lc class, Thursday morning. Thirty-five Make Trip The class of about 35 members made the trip down to the furniture store, where an impromptu classroom had been arranged for their use by Mr. Carter. He lectured for an hour on the manufacturing of furniture, and the different materials that are used in making it. During his talk he exhibited samples of furniture and the textiles that are used to finish it. Mr. Carter stated that there are now 350 furnture factories on the Pacific coast, from which practically al lof the furniture used in this region is purchased. There is little or no importation from other; !re-gions of the United States. Two Cities Seattle and Tacoma, only two of the cities along the Coast, ^ have from 50 to 65 factories eaclji.i In these factories local wood, such as maple, ash, and oak is used;' although the finest wood is obtained from the Orient, mainly Japan and Russia. Mr. Carter also mentioned the manufacture of mattresses. •» The fact that there are so many more well informed, discriminating: users of furniture now, necessitates a wide knowledge of the how and when of furniture among salesmen. Gives Insight The talk has given the members SEATTLE MAN HERE FOR GAME SUNDAY SIX SINGLES AND THREE DOUBLES WILL BE STARTED ON B.S.N. COURTS AT NOON. USE NINE MEN" The Bellingham Tennis club, which recently sponsored a city tennis tourney, will again bring expert tennis to Bellingham fans by playing' matches here on the Normal courts, Sunday, starting at 12:30, against the crack Olympic club players from Seattle. Six Singles The play will include six singles and three doubles matches, with Bellingham using nine players during the course of the matches. The players from Seattle are well known throughout the Northwest for their playing, and have been burning up the courts all season with their fast playing. It is not known just how the local players will stand up under the fire, but the way that they played in the recently completed tourney here, gives vent to the feeling that the locals will put up a real battle. Many Favorites The Bellingham team will include players who are all favorites here, and little need be said for their prowess. There will be Joe Hartaz, Willard Houghton, .Julian Beren-stein, Ed Hannah, Meyer Thai, John Light, Bob Fisher, Will Fisher, and Larry Carr. Cliff Hedger, -winner of the men's singles in the recent championships, has gone to California and will leave quite a hole in the local lineup. Seattle is sending Presto McDonald, who is paired with Hank Prus-sof in the Northwest section series at Victoria, George McKinney, Captain John Nau, Joe Swartz, last year's captain at the University of Wasington, and two year veteran, Leroy Kelley, and probably Dr. O. T. Stevens. Week Passes; No Line-Up Change The handball line-up remains the, same as for last week, Reeves, Brock, Thompson, and Skotheim appearing on the ladder.

Merrill company of New York, publishers of school and college textbooks, has held a display on the main landing during the past week. Considerable interest has been shown in the various publications of this concern. nactit and Heila Passe Fasshacht, respectively, were impressive in their sincerity and simplicity. The priests* Caiaphas, Fritz Schol-lef; Annas, Alfred Ambrogio; Dath-na, Joseph Danner; Nathaniel, Jo gt;; sef Morgenstern; arid Ezechiel, Heinz Rudolph; were typical in their shrewdness and convincing in their condemnatory roles. Great Story Is is the Great Story, dramatically told, the story of the Passion of Jesus, the "Pageant Sublime." Dramatic action and tableau were blended with authentic costuming of the ancient city of Jerusalem; selections from the masters of choral music accompanied the drama; and lights and shadows played upon the movement of the story with a skill that left the audience breathless at the artfulness of these visiting actors in their stagecraft. Then, as the drama proceeded the observer forgot the stagecraft and became buried iri the story. One Intermission With only brie brief intermission late in the program, the Freiburg Passion Piay is presented in eighteen scenes, three of which are tableaux scenes: The Glorification of the Cross, the EVction of Adam and Eve from the Garden, and the Triumph 6f Jesus. The first act opened with the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem. He was met by a crowd of the faithful and also by the irate priests, who denounced him as a blasphemer. This scene was followed by another iri which the priests plottted to overcome Jesus. iri the meantime, Jesus has continued on to Bethany, where he bids farewell to his mother and friends. The act closes with Judas pottirig With the priests for the betrayal of Jesus. Judas Betrays Judas conies to a satisfactory set-tleriient with the priests, as the second act opens. The next scene portrays the Last Supper, and closes with Judas leaving the scene, knowing that he is the one who will betray his master. Jesus' hour of prayer in the Garden of Gethsema-ne is followed with his betrayal by Judas and capture by the Roman soldiers. He Is brought before the Sanhedrin, and there is judged by the high' priest, Caiaphas. Judas' remorse ends the act. The trial before Pontius Pilate, and the mob crying for the freedom of the robber, Barabbas, and the crucifixion of Jesus followed in rapid succession, to make,up the next two acts and close the first part of the drama. Settings Remarkable While some of the stage settings in the first portion of the play, par*- ticularly those reflecting Bethany and the Mount of Olives, were remarkable in their beauty, itPPPPP

This will be led by the yell leaders, Melvin Allan and Dick Albert. They are assisted by James Butler, Mr. Pelagius Williams, and Mr. W. J. Marquis. The students will serpentine down High street and then Holly street. They will stop at Cornwall avenue, where yells and songs will be given. Ah hah! The little bewhiskered ultra-"prof eeled" Bernard S h aw takes another crack at the United States. Some "day that old boy is going to insert his satirical whiskers too far through the door of respect and somebody with enough nerve is either going to take a poke at him or slam the door on his brush, leaving him squealing for a dignified appearance to hide behind. We've got to admit, that G. B. S. has a lot of horse sense but he's been pampered so long that he is liable to carry his sarcasm one notch too far and the object of his attacks may forget to run. W.S.N.S. At last all that Was mortal of our great inventor, Thomas A. Edison, has been laid to rest. His was a life so full of wisdom, thought and Work as to be the outstanding personality of his generation. The nation has suffered a great loss at his passing. Edison went to his death with an open mind on the question of whether the soul is immortal. During his illness, when asked if he believed in immortality, he answered briefly, "No one knows." But, during the last stage of his illness, Dr. Howe. reports that Mr. Edison "gazed upward into space, his face illuminated with a smile," and said, "It is very beautiful over there." What a score of question marks might follow that statement! Was Edison's mind wandering from the fatigue of his great life work? Or did he gaze into the next World? W.S.N.S. VIKING EXTRA A six-page blue and white special edition of the Northwest Viking will greet Alumni and Students next Saturday morning. The paper will not be issued at its usual time on Friday, but will be at the school Saturday morning between ten and eleven. Copies will also be available at the game in the afternoon.

Ruckmick is Chairman of Industrial Arts Section (Continued on Page Four) o Many instructors and persons associated with the Normal school attended the Washington Education Association meetings held last Monday and Tuesday at Whatcom high school. At the Monday session, H. C. Philippi represented the science department. Mrs. Grace Krous gave an address on "Phases of Public School Music." A talk was given by E. A. Bond on the subject of "Indirect and Analytic Method in Geometry." Tuesday morning a general program was given at the Mount Baker theater. Jack Shafer, a Normal school student, played an accompaniment to a violin solo. The afternoon session was devoted to departmental programs. H. C. Ruckmick served as chairman of the department of industrial arts and vocational education. A lecture concerning this subject was given by Dr. Irving E. Miller. Selection of a tentative cast for the forthcoming Drama club play, "Camille in Roaring Camp," has been completed. I There are two casts in the play itself, the Roaring Camp group and the "dramatis personae" of the melodrama, "Camille." The cast of the former, in the order of appearance, is: Roaring Camp Jake, taken by Iver Moe; Ah Sin, Louis Shaffer; An Orrjery Cuss, Hugh Lovegren; the Duchess, Virginia George; Cherokee Sal, Eileen Taylor; Colonel Starbottle, Ed Myers; the Judge, Bill Button; John Oakhurst, Lew Lovegren; J a ck Hamlin, Charles Anderson; Stumpy, D. A. Fox; Dungaree Joe, Frank Allyn; the Sheriff, Jack Mallahan; Yuba Bill, Lloyd Rasmussen; "A'," Howard Cleary; "Pete," Milford Anderson, and Jane, Lucia Fryer. Camille Cast The "dramatis personae" of Camille "consists of: Camille (Miss Morningstroke), Deborah Altose; Ar-mand Duval (Mr. Clifford), Preston Wright; Madame Prudence, Gertrude Hencamp; Olimpe, Dorothy Ritchie; Gaston, Paul Jackson; Gustave, George McMeen; a Messenger (props), Vernon Leatha; Ni-chette, Christine Albers; Nanine, Vaughn Howell, and the Count De Varville, Bill Bowen. Play Is Combination "Camille in R o a r i n g Camp," which is scheduled to be presented here December 2 and 3, is a new treatment and combination of two themes. "Camille," the old French melodrama by Alexander Dumas, is portrayed but is given humor by its being staged in Bret Harte's "Roaring Camp," which is a mining camp setting. The play, by Thomas Wood Stevens, is very new, being still ,ki manuscript form. It was given in August of this year at the University of Michigan, where it was directed by Mr. Stevens himself.

Artist Disgusted With Modern Jazz SINGLE CONCERT NETSOECONOMACOS $503.02 Plays Concert on Streets of Seattle By DEBBY ALTOSE Playing in the streets last summer to uphold good music proved a very interesting experience to Nicholas Oeconomacos, clarinet player in the Woodwind quartet. He was disgusted with the modern jazz of saxophones and banjos and thought it unfair that these players should be making good livings while artists starved. Appreciation Shown While he played, programs of his selections were handed out to the public. People gave him everything from twenty-dollar gold pieces to pennies, including many flowers. In one day he played he was given $503.02. During the program President Lyle Spencer, of the University of Washington, embraced him and gave him some money. Two^ weeks later he presented a concert at Meany Hall at the University. He also played at some grade schools but would accept nothing over a penny from the children. Plays in Court One day while Judge Charles Claypoors^court was in session, Mr. Oeconomacos came in and was looking for a seat. The judge came down from the bench and said, "This is your throne." He then played for the people from the bench. When he was unable to pay his light bill and his lights were discontinued, he taught by candle light, never becoming discouraged. Mr. Oeconomacos has lived in Seattle for twenty-five years. He has traveled twice around the world, playing, in Berlin, Vienna and London, as a clarinet soloist. He is also a member of the Seattle Symphony orchestra. Halloween Motif Gives Novel Setting to W. A. A. Initiation In an atmosphere of Hallowe'en weirdness sixty initiates of the W. A.

Black cats, goblins, ghosts, and witches prowled around the darkened gymnasium, haunting and torturing the frightened freshmen.

What a world of things that bring to our minds. To the Alumni it brings back memories and impressions of their Alma Mater; impressions they would have preserved and perpetuated in their minds. This, then, is one of our, the undergraduate's, obligations: to see that visiting alumni have their memories enriched through reunions and visits to the scenes of their school days- . To us, Homecoming means something different: excitement, enthusiasm, loyalty, romance. No time in the year so brings out our "school Spirit' as this two-day celebration. Serpentines, bonfires, cheering, singing, dances, all blend together to make for us memories we will treasure. (By Irene Schagel) "Once again the question of whether London or New York is the world's largest city has arisen. Now, it must be admitted, people are interested in size . . Size is something that everyone can understand. It requires no thought * * * * Sober second thought shows that most large cities are probably too big. They breed or at least attract poverty, slums and crime." But we would say for Bellingham, "You have your gardens, friendliness, and trees; my little town, be satisfied, with these" According to Normalite last week, "the tolerant smile of the extrovert at the vain plunges to the introvert into a romantic beautiful past will hurt." Countee Cullin, the negro poet, seems to have the best philosophy for this. He says: ' 7 have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth And laid them away in a box of gold; I have wrapped by dreams in a silken cloth; Where long will cling the lips of the moth, I hide no hate; I am not even wroth Who have found earths breath so keen and cold. I have Wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth And laid them away in a box of Sold." Drama Club Elects Officers for Year; Members Introduced Election of officers and introduction of old and new members constituted the business of the Drama club in its first meeting on Monday afternoon, October 19. Officers elected for the coming year are: James Butler, president; Hugh Lovegren, vice-president; Al-lene Armstrong, secretary; Deborah Altose, treasurer, and P r e s t on Wright, representative to the inter-club council. John James Presides The first part of the meeting was directed by John James, president of last year, who introduced the old and new members. After the elections he turned the meeting over to the new president, James Butler, who expressed appreciation for'his election and predicted a good year for the club because of the turnout and interest shown by the members. V. H. Hoppe, adviser, made announcements concerning the club play, "Camille in Roaring Camp," and the rest of the time was given over to tryouts for the play. ALTOSE AND BUTLER REVEAL LIFE STORIES (Continued from Page One) In this we see the tolerant smile of the introvert for the extrovert. The extrovert is missing so much while the introvert has his dreams Stanley High, in the current issue of Christian Herald, makes the prediction that probably a hundred years from now historians will speak of the revolution of 1931. ;He says we may not be able to notice the wrapped in a silken cloth, change now, but as time goes on and we look back upon this year it will be possible to see the change in our sense of values. A lot of people can already notice a new sense of value when it comes to sensing the value of a steady job. . . o— • F R E S H M E N ! Here's your chance, freshmen. The big Homecoming bonfire, sponsored by your class, gives you your first chance of the school year to show what you can do. Individual merit can and will be judged by the way you accept your responsibility. A successful bonfire not only brings credit to the school and the freshman class but also to the individuals who are willing to work to make it a success. . o- • Y E M I G H T Y MEN No longer will the comparison of the elephant and the mouse be applicable for the men and women of this school. Once, "in the good old days" girls outnumbered men five or more to one. But all is changed now. Amid sorrow and gladness, mourning and rejoicing, we find the ratio to be less than two to one this, year. It seems that fewer men "from farm and seashore" went away to school this year and, instead, came to Bellingham Normal while fewer girls came here from out-of-the-county points. The increased number of students from Bellingham and vicinity is noticeable. IT'S SOMETHING TO HAVE THOSE DREAMS. BOARD DISCUSSES REC HOURS AT MEETING (Continued from Page One) Prosperity may not go to their heads, but it certainly has gone to their backs from the indications of visiting alumnae. Prosperity? Well, not to be presumptuous, let's say a salary.

MADAME FASHION smiles favorably upon the clever oversleeves with long narrow cuffs, puffed sleeves, or arms covered with fabric cut on the wholly correct leg-o'- mutton sleeves. Cufflied glory is also shown in the wide, flaring sleeves, and the ultra-modern bishop sleeves. FOR SPORTS and Campus wear the knitted suits and woolen frocks with short jackets of the same material or even a contrasting material are quite the latest word in fashion columns. Hand in hand with the woolen frocks are the polo coats and aviation coats made of the creamy, soft tans, and brown woolen fabrics. Tweeds, both trimmed and un-trimmed, are also popular this season. AFTER THE RAGE of the Eugenie hat has swept the Fashion centers, women find themselves turning to other and more modified styles. The Spanish sailor hats and hats with large brims are now being introduced into the realms hitherto held by the eccentric Eugenie. IT IS SOON time for the busy season of informals — consequently milady will want to know the latest informal gowns. Transparent velvets, wool-laces, cotton nets, silk nets, and combinations of these materials are sweeping aside the satins and crepes of last year. One of the latest creations on the market is a gown of cut velvet fashioned on extremely simple, flowing lines and reminding one of the times when mother was a girl. WHITE is one of the favorite colors for the coming season. Blacks and pastel shades are also near the top of the list of popularity. DESIGNERS have taken quite a turn toward the "old fashioned" days in their displays of dress trimmings. Large velvet covered buttons, small gayly colored buttons, and in fact almost any type of button is found sprinkled along the neck line or brighten the length of a novelty belt. Beaded trimmings also are very new on the formal evening gown. EVENING wraps form a very interesting topic for discussion. Transparent velvets seem to be the most favored with the discriminating shopper. However, metal-spun brocades and plain brocades make very lovely evening wraps. o The Misses Agnes Peratrovitch and Margaret Roberts spent the week-end visiting with relatives in Seattle. 0 Miss Mamie Chase visited her sister in Olympia during the last week-end. 0 Mrs. May Lovegren entertained at dinner on Sunday afternoon for her sons, Hugh and Lew Lovegren!

Thursday afternoon, at a special assembly, Lewis Browne spoke on the subject of "Literature," and what America is doing with it. "The three greatest American novelists today,'.' said Mr. Browne, "are the two Sinclairs and Theodore Dreiser." He went on to explain that many authors are merely machines and that a real author, such as the men mentioned, can take a comfnonplace s u b j e c t and with much ease, turn it into something unusual—something which actually seems to live. It was Mr. Brown's opinion that the real literates had started life at a disadvantage, or rather, that the world had considered them a trifle odd. He went on to say that this type of person, not being able to play in tthe game, stood on the sidelines and wrote about the futility and silliness of it all. The audience, with one accord, declared that there was more genuine humor and sharp thinking displayed in Mr. Browne's talk than the average one of his listeners had ever heard. After he had finished talking he answered the numerous questions which were brought up. _o Alberta Repass, a summer student who has recently recovered from an extended illness, has returned to her home in St. Ignatius, Montana. She will teach in Tacoma after the first of the year. 0 Follow-up work on the recent health examinations began Wednesday, October 21.

That pasting handed the Vikings certainly came out of a clear sky. Up until the Viking passing spree .started, the Carver aggregation actually outplayed their Ta-coma opponents. We had hoped for a better showing from the Vikings. -——Homecoming Next Week The playing on the Viking forward wall was the one bright spot of the loser's attack. Good work by Abbott, Cox, Sutton and Comfort prevented the Lutheran College from gaining through the line. Homecoming Next Week The first quarter of the game featured a steady drive by the Vi-king backs, led by Flowers and Ioerson... On the second play in the second quarter the ^scoring back-field was jerked and a new quartet inserted. Homecoming Next Week- Then the fireworks started. The Viking's slight lead was immediately erased and the score stood 20- 7 at half time. Three of Harris' well placed passes went hey-hey and all the interceptions led directly to touchdowns. The Vikings also got an eye-full of "Red" Carlson, flashy, red-headed halfback. Carlson is just about the fastest man in football togs in this section of the state. Homecoming Next Week Professors Carver and Gunn hand their pupils the toughest assignment of the year tomorrow in the Cheney tilt. The Vikings are out for revenge and will find plenty of beef and speed on the Savage team to vent, their efforts on. ^—Homecoming Next Week Don't forget to get your Homecoming booklet, to be sold in assembly next Friday. Chuck Dowell has put lots of time and energy on this creation and. it's-going to be good. Pictures of both teams, coaches, previous scores, predictions, pictures, and even some ads from local firms will be in it to entertain you- —homecoming next week— In the Whitman-C. P. S. game last week, Les Voris, a former Viking performer, was a very outstanding performer in the Whitman line. : From all reports Voris was very instrumental in the Whitman victory. "Boots" Wooten, a baseball player for Coach Gunn last spring, played the entire game at halfback for the winning eleven. Quentin Quick, letter winner and former student prexy at this school, played the last quarter for Whitman. —homecoming next week— Itchie Toesys, the li'l dickens, didn't do such a bad job of predicting games last week. ..He guessed correctly in four out of five games, missing only the Viking game. The photo at the right shows Itchie embarking for Cheney, where he will act as water boy for the Vikings. They will need plenty of water he stated last Monday, because, he muttered hoarsely, Cheney will win by at least two touchdowns. Hope you're wrong, old man. —photo by Ruckmick —homecoming next week- Hunches for today: That Flowers, Sheltpn and Iverson are a trio of clever backs and should give both Cheney and Ellensburg lots to think of in the next two games if given half a break to show their stuff. —homecoming next week— Just before Prof. Itchie clambered into his Austin for the journey to Cheney, he left a few predictions for ye sports editor. Here they are: U. S. C. to down California;, Stanford to drop Washington; W. S.

Why the Vikings don't get more support, both from the students and from Lutherans Swamp Yiki NORMAL RECEIVES FIRST SETBACK OF ' SEASON AT P. L G. Vikings Play Ragged Football in First Half When Passes Go Wild. AM CARVER, and band of Viking football players invaded the stronghold of the Pacific Lutheran College last Friday afternoon and .were entertained by their h o s ts who were so kind as to intercept three of the Viking's passes before they called it a day and sent the visitors home with the short end of the 27-7 score. Vikings Start Fireworks The Favorite Sons started out strong by playing straight football. Flowers was reeling off consistent gains through tackle and around the ends, while Iverson was plugging the line. In the first quarter, Donovan completed four out of four passes. The Vikings scored their only touchdown after two plays in the second quarter, Flowers dusting the last white marker. The try for point was completed. Lutherans Come Back Carver, at this point of the game, inserted a new backfield. The Ta-comans shoved over a touchdown but failed to convert, giving the Vikings the slight edge of 7 to 6, which they held up to about two minutes before the half. At this point the hill toppers lost all they ever owned in the way of football knowledge. Harris, who replaced Donovan, heaved a pass to Flint, which "Red* Carlson intercepted and ran it back for a touchdown. The Vikings elected to receive. On the first play after the kickoff, Harris again passed once more. Carlson intercepted and raced unmolested through the bewildered Car-verites for another touchdown. The gun ended further assault with the score 20 to 7. At the start of the second half the entire line was replaced with the exception of Comfort who played the entire game. This half developed into a real battle, with Carlson, the red headed fire ball of the Lutherans using his speed to a great advantage, while Bill Short, at guard, showed up well on the line for them. They scored their final touchdown in the fourth period of the game. Normal Line Looked Good According to "Pop" Gunn, assistant coach, the Vikings' line work was about the only consolation of the day. They played bang-up ball, most of the day and held the heavier opponents to a standstill. The greatest weakness was the unprotected passes which they intercepted repeatedly. The game was played in extremely warm weather for this time of year. The field was hard and dusty, and the game was witnessed by a small s*ize crowd. The game was held at the Lincoln bowl, and in the evening the team were guests of the College of Puget Sound at a night game with Whitman. The starting line-up of the two squads was as follows: Normal Pacific Lutheran Cox LER Mitton Sutton LTR Martin Falkner LGR Schierman Berg C Berentsan Comfort ...RGL Shore Turner .'. RTL. Ronsvold Abbott REL Jacobson Donovan ....Q Moe Flowers LHR Leque Shelton RHL Hawke Iverson F Lisherman o Intramural Basketball To Attract Many Teams With an abundance of men in school this quarter the intramural basketball league should be one of the largest in the history of the school. Already plans are being formed by local team" leaders in an effort to round up a team before the season opens. Much Interest Shown For the new men in school it might be well to explain that the intramural league- stimulates an immense amount of interest and enthusiasm among the players. All the games are played in the little gym and are under the supervision of a.capable leader and manager. Last year the games were refereed by Coaches Carver and Gunn. Last year's contests produced many over-time games, thrilling contests and developed a real spirit of rivalry and competition among the teams. There were but five teams in the league last winter, but it is hoped that double that number will sign up. Everyone gets to play as the teams only carry a few over the regulation quintet. Philos Won Last Year The Philos copped the flag last year after a thrilling last game drive by the Men's club who dropped the strong Thespian outfit in a decided upset. If as much interest can be stimulated in the league this year it is bound to be a very successful season. For those who are new to the layout and know none of the team leaders inform Jimmie Stoddard, sports editor, that you would like to play this season and it will be arranged that you will be recommended to one of the teams. The season probably will get under way the last month of this quarter. Newly Organized Viking Golf Team Drops First Match the town folks. What kind of a stunt the committee, led by Iver Moe, are going to put on during the half of the Homecoming game. Which organized house will win the prize for the most novel idea in the Homecoming contest. —homecoming next week— ODDITIES: Georgia Tech' defeated Cumberland 222 to 0 in 1916.

Dropping a hard fought match to the strong Whatcom golf team last Tuesday by the score of 18k gt; to 5V£, the Vikings' mashie wielders opened their fall season. The match was harder fought than the score indicates. Whatcom's team had the edge all the way, as their players were practically all caddies and have been playing quite a lot. The Vikings showed a lot of talent but lacked practice. A match next week may be scheduled with the Mount Vernon Junior College if a suitable date can be arranged. This week's match was between eight-man teams: Normal, 5V2 Whatcom, 18% Carr 0 Pack 3 McBeath 0 Shock 3 Sells 1 Miles 2 Lahtonen 1% Uppinghouse V-k Gross 0 Kappel 3 Thai 3 Repoz 0 Lovegren 0 Nelson 3 Wallace 0 Clark 3 o President. C. H. Fisher attended the regular meeting of the Rotary club of Anacortes last Wednesday noon. He was the principal speaker on the program, the subject' being "Education." Association Council Will Make Revision Of Old Constitution Plans are being made by the executive council of the W. A. A. for the revision of their present constitution. Helen Howell is chairman of the revision committee and the members include Elva Pilquist, Janet McArthur, and Dorothy Top. All girls who have suggestions for the new constitution or any questions to ask are urged to place them in a box left in the P. E. office for that purpose. There are copies of the old constitution available for the girls who desire to look these over. Managers Elected Helen Lundberg has recently been elected vollyball manager, Winnie DeWitt, manager of the soccer team, and Helen Howell W. A. A. representative to the Women's League. W. A. A. members have again taken over the work of ushering at assemblies and other school functions.

To that is this column dedicated. Don't ask "Why?" The space filled is self explanatory. » * * • "Are we dogs and old women?" rasps Two Guns White Calf from the face of the Buffalo nickel. A black crow perches on the flag pole on the knoll and croaks dismally. The upshot and purport of the whole matter is that last Friday at eleven (during tea) our school in a blur of educated decadence disregarded making even a slight show of hands in a protest .against some phase of the war racket. Your columnist is for Americanism (I just threw that in). According to the exchange papers that we get from other campi, they had strikes and parades to indicate at least a spasmodic objection to mailed Mars and his red dogs of war.—We look like the same kind of people anyway. * * * * Come up and kick the waste baskets around. The Viking office office is just behind the cages of stuffed animals down at this end of the second floor. The elevator was sent out to be fixed, but you can use the phone if you sign for it before you take it out of the building. However, the verbal policy of the feature page may be changed to give you a look in next week. » • • * Imagine a CCC boy taking a lick at a tree and listening to the chop echo from mountain to mountain way up in the North woods. Then sticking out his tongue to see if the other trees liked the echo, if the air is moist they do, huh? Remember when you used to write essays for English about "My Pet Dog"? And every sentence started with an I. Pity us sometime Malachi, but I don't care about the rest of you. * * * * Any writer should be Anglo- Saxon and point blank—listen to this. Has the American magazine a right to censor the New Republic or the Saturday Evening Post to censor the American Mercury? Is there a race of people sometimes known as the gullible public, the forgotten man (men and wives), the tax payers, or the masses, which are reserved as a special poaching reserve for the status quo, or not so quo? These, epitomizing ignorance so deep that they need to be dished out wisdom by a few wise men with silver spoons (?) Can people digest what they aren't given to eat? Too many facts and figures of the wrong kind administered by the wrong people may tend to make the country less of a democracy. Is that true? What's the right way to convince people they are wrong? By painting one side of the picture so crimson that it starts to run at the least sign of an economic rain? Then browbeat everybody into silence with verbal harangue? No, friends and brothers in exile, at least put all the tears in the soup and, if the stuff is unpalatable, make some new soup out of the present alphabet. * * * * What did Kirby Page say last week in closing? Wasn't it, "We can go out and be abusive and explosive over controversial topics, or we can get enough human sympathy to at least examine each other's points of view. If we put together all the rays of light each one of us has to offer in this room, we will still be somewhat in the dark as to the best way out." * * * * And then again the irony of last Friday's assembly. Imagine flaunting tea in the face of immortal John Barleycorn. As I understand it, there was a huge typographical error from the blue above that landed on the feature page, but more later. To return to the story, imagine the contrast between John Toper as he puts one foot up on the rail and for a moment gazes at the echoes of his reflection in a schooner of Budweiser, then drains it to its dregs, and the philosophic calm of the classic tea ceremony in its quietfng effects and opiate qualities:' "":' Quarterly Fees Apportioned In Board Meeting Two Lower Classes Donate Funds To Insure Greater Success Of Campus Day Amendment Approved Shenenberger, Dornblut, and Allan Air Views on Revisions (Continued on Page Two) Apportionment of spring fees, revision of the rules of procedure for the Viking and the Klipsun, and a report of the work of the Campus day committee took up the time of the Board of Control at the meeting on Wednesday. Out of the student fees collected from each of the registered students, the Board set aside $1.40 for the social fund, $2.60 for men's athletics, $1.00 for the Viking, and 50 cents for women's athletics. Mon Orloff Campus day chairman, reported that the freshmen had donated $20, which they would otherwise have spent on the quarterly party, to help defray expenses of the work and play day. The frosh are sponsoring the rec hour tonight. Following suit, the sophomore class offered to sponsor a later evening of dancing and to turn $16 over to Orloff to aid in making Campus day a success. The biggest problem confronting the committee, according to Orloff's report, is that of transporting the students to and from Normalstad. The Board interviewed Ralph Shenenberger and Julius Dornblut Jr. on the present rules of procedure for the Viking. The only necessary revision concerned the financial report to the Board which will hereafter be made quarterly instead of monthly. The legislative group asked Pat Allan, editor of the Klipsun, to submit at the next meeting a revised copy of the rules of procedure for the annual. The amendment to the constitution concerning the representation of the clubs to the nominating convention was unanimously accepted by the Board. Four Seattle Artists Exhibit Modern Art; Water Colors Shown An exhibit of paintings by four eSattle artists, James Huston, Tom Kley, Roy Norlin, and his son, Don Norlin, is on display in rooms 304 and 305 this week. Most of the pictures are water colors by Messrs. Huston, Kley, and Don Norlin. They have good lines and show the modern art trend toward simplicity. There are some oil paintings by Roy Norlin which are equally interesting. Don Norlin's work is of especial interest to the students and faculty in that he was a student of the Normal school for a year and was staff artist for the Northwest Viking. o Weythman Leaves To Attend Meeting Miss Ruth Weythman, physical education instructor, left April 17 by train to attend the national meeting of the Physical Education association at Pittsburgh. During her absence, Miss Weythman has arranged to have the following people speak to her classes on topics of interest: Mr. Bert Hinz on correct lighting; Miss Mae Mead on first aid and communicable diseases; Dr. J. MacGregor on the examination of the school child, and Mrs. Emilie M. Hanna on nutrition. Miss Weythman expects to return about May 16. o Former Instructor At WSNS Passes Away Word has been received by Dr. Irving Miller, head of the Education department at the Normal, of the death of Professor Herman C. Henderson who was head of the department of education at Teachers College, Milwaukee. Henderson had charge of t h e Education department at Washington state Normal school during the summer of 1923. Wanted: Trucks, Busses and Cars Two Classes Contribute to Fund; Orloff Hopes Others Will Follow Suit Monford Orloff, general chairman of this year's Campus day activities, has been working for a delightful affair for May 17, Mr. Orloff has already chosen his sub-committee chairmen to work toward the best Campus day in the history of the school. o Nominations Are Made by Women For New Heads Anderson, Scott, Scheyer To Run For President of League This Quarter Dolly Anderson, Helen Scott, and Faith Scheyer were nominated for the office of president of the Women's league. Other nominations were: Vice-president, Charlene Mautz and Blanche Pearce; secretary, Joan Hoppe; treasurer, Helen Lewis. Phyllis Robinson, and Marguerite Thompson; faculty adviser, Miss Linda Countryman, of the Home Economics department, and Mrs. May Lovegren, of the' Mimeographing department.

"Success of Campus day depends on the fullest co-operation of every member of the student body in the provision of transportation to Normalstad." says Mons Orloff, general chairman of the affair. A slip will be posted on the bulletin board on which every student who can provide any kind of transportation is asked to sign. ^ Phil Campbell, chairman of the transportation committee, states that any trucks or buses will be greatly appreciated since the committee hopes to have as little expense as possible. The freshman class has contributed $20 to the Campus day fund, the sophomore class voted an indefinite sum at its last meeting, and the WAA has expressed willingness to cooperate to its fullest ability. Orloff hopes that the other student organizations will follow the example set by the two classes.

The son of the first white couple married in the state of Washington, Montgomery has always been deeply interested in Northwest history.

The most popular section of the annual needs contributions! This week an announcement was made about the annual snapshot contest sponsored by the school yearbook. The three winning photos, supplemented by other acceptable pictures, will be assured of a place in that section of the Klipsun which contains scenes of student activity and school life. One reason for the popularity of the snapshot section is that the pictures show vitality and humor. One can't help but remember the snapshots in last year's annual which showed Julius Dornblut in shorts, and Mary Fisher with her mouth wide open. What have you to offer this year? Haven't you snapped a picture of one of your friends at most inopportune moment? Or haven't you a picture of this year's home coming celebration, of Normalstad, of a club picnic or a party? In other words, can't you find a picture which might be a prize winner? o Why Not Add Skating? Everyone by now should realize the popularity of all-school skating parties. Large crowds have been in attendance at both parties given this year, and nothing but favorable comment has been heard following these two events. Students continually have opportunities to attend school dances, but skating parties have yet to be overworked. At the local rink it is possible to exclude outsiders, thereby having a recreational period comparable with the school dances. With so much stress now being placed on a full recreational program the possibilities of roller skating should not be entirely overlooked. If the Board of Control does not favor such an idea, clubs should be willing to sponsor parties, not with the idea of making money entirely, but with the plan of giving students a chance to participate in a variety of activities. ThelBook Case A Review by Wm. Pierron MARXIAN PSYCHIATRY A Review by Wilson Waylett "New Roads to Progress," by Samuel D. Schmalhaus-en. 1934. New York, Falcon Press. 418pp. $3.00. In his latest work, "New Road to Progress," Schmal-hausen attempts to show the neurosis-breeding tendencies of a capitalistic society, and to evaluate psychoanalysis in the light of Marxism. His assumptions, that social sanity is prerequisite to individual sanity and that there is a necessity for the replacement of ego-centric categories by socio-centric categories, lead him to accept communism as the one adequate psycho-therapy. From his standpoint Freudianism seeks to solve, in an individual instance, a problem which demands mass solution. Schmalhausen's style has little to commend it. He indulges in the crudest terms of verbal pyrotechnic, bouncing from pun to pseudo-profundity, restating the same substance in a number of forms ,and parenthesizing statements of no relevance. But I feel the importance of his topic outweighs the author's shortcomings, in the field of technique. Inasmuch as Schmalhausen believes the problem to be primarily an educative one, his message is particularly significant for the prospective teacher. Certainly few of us would care to attack the goal for which he is striving; a sane and humane social order. As conditions for this consummation he outlines "(1) ego-status fr the mass; (2) social security; (3) sexual freedom and.contentment; (4) creative activity in the forms of folk culture, mass pageantry and the special performance of unique talent and genius.' • The work is well annotated.

Only soft rumblings of cars and soft walkings of dogs. The sun is cold and old men and kids are coming home. Last night Minnie and Mr. C. fell asleep in their chairs. When Minnie woke she said stilly—not to wake Mr. C.—"Isn't it strange. I didn't know I was asleep". And Mr. C. woke and sputtered "Sleep is the semblance of death". Galley West "Oh friendly cow all red-and-white I love with ." And by dropping coppers in the cow, or so the story goes, in five years, our grandchildren who are running the Viking shall take out the money and shall (maybe) have enough to enjoy one of those famous week-ends. It is the staff's mascot (along with the mouse that was captured in a geography class) and is kept in Terror gulch, a suburb of the chamber of all good journalists' horrors—ye printe shoppe.

Out of The Air Hello, everybody, this is station WSNS bringing to you a resume of radio's best bets for the week. Just to get things going let's start with the Radio theatre Sunday morning at 11:30 over NBC. At 12:30 NBC again comes to the front with a "Penthouse Serenade" followed by something new in radio programs, "The First Rhythm Symphony". "Grand Hotel", Joseph Peter Penner, Eddie Cantor, and Major Bowe's "Amateur Hour" complete the afternoon. There are such enticing features in the evening as "Manhattan Merry-Go-Round", "The Gibson Family", Jack Benny (recently voted radio's most popular comedian), "Silken Strings", Walter Winchell, and others. Monday's four star programs include Kate Smith's "New Star Revue", "Chateau", starring Al Jolson, and Edwin C. Hill, CBS commentator. The ever-popular Bing Crosby comes to you Tuesday, as do Ed Wynn, "Beauty Box Theatre", "The Caravan", featuring Walter O'Keefe, and "The Old Maestro", yowsah, so help me! Wednesday brings you John Mc- Cqrmack's tenor voice over NBC at 6:30, and at the same time from CBS, the nonsensical cracks of Burns and Allen. At 7:30 the lilting strains of Ray Nobel's orchestra fill the ether waves. Rudy Vallee, Captain Henry, Paul Whiteman, Mary Garden, and Floyd Gibbons are a few of the headliners to greet you Thursday night, with Beatrice Lillie, "March of Time", "Hollywood Hotel", Phil Baker, "First Nighter", "Studebaker Champions", "Circus Night in Silvertown", bringing down the house on Friday. Saturday afternoon presents several educational talks while "Radio City Party", "National Barn Dance", "Waltz rme", and "Let's Dance" finish up the evening. And DON'T forget to listen to Frank Watanabi every night except Sunday at 7:00 fromKNX. , They are pushing me off the air so, goodbye, everybody I Honest Men, All By Ralph Horman (Editor's Note: Reprinted below is the first part of the short story which won first prize in the school contest. The story will be completed in next week's Viking. The story has been entered in the national contest with a possibel prize award of $100.) Bob sank down upon the davenport with a sigh. He was tired and discouraged. The day had been long and hot. He ached physically and mentally from hours of fruitless walking and talking.

Because of the poor condition of the diamond any extensive practice has been impossible. Coach Chuck Lappen-busch has confined the turnouts to batting and general warming up process. Infield Looks Strong Outside of the pitching mound, the squad looks about as strong as the 1934 edition. Stutz will probably hold down the first base assignment although he has had experience behind the plate. Sever-in appears to have the inside track in the race for second sacker. Zwaschka, a hard hitting veteran, is almost a cinch for shortstop with Vander Griend, another veteran, taking care of the hot corner. This gives the team a good infield defensively, with a batting punch. S. Kvinsland, J. Miller, and Saunders will form the reserve infield. With Bolten, Wooten, Alpaugh, and Tarte ready to start, a powerful outfield looms. The backstopping positions look all set with Mac- Kenzie and Hammond taking turns. Pitching Is Questionable The big question mark right now, is what can be expected from the untried pitching staff? Ries, Tooley, Miller, and Abener look like potentialities, but only Miller has been seen in action. Control seems to be the weak point with the hurlers, but only practice and plenty of it can remedy this condition. May 3 and 4 mark the opening of the season when a four game series will be played with CPS here. A practice game with the U of W Frosh might be scheduled before that date, however.

Both Boulton and Wooten are playing on the Viking squad. The Model Truck will represent Bellingham in the Northwest league. The name Boosters was recently chosen as a name for the Bellingham team by fans who submitted names for the team. The opening game of the season will be played at Battersby field on Sunday, April 21, at 3:00 p. m. A Seattle team, Gibson Cleaners, will oppose the Boosters. Night baseball will be played in Bellingham as soon as the installation of the lights at Battersby field is completed. Whatcom Defeats Grizzly Trackmen By sweeping 13 firsts, seven seconds, and four thirds, the Whatcom high school track men swamped Fairhaven high, 98 to 24, at Waldo field last Saturday. Mike Karuza, of Fairhaven, won the only first place for his squad in the discus throw. Baker, of Whatcom, turned in his best time so far in the 440-yard dash. He was clocked in 55.6 seconds. Don Bell, Whatcom half miler, put in a good performance when he overcame a large lead to win in the last 220 yards. Andy Peterson, with 13 points, was the leading scorer for Whatcom. Phyllis Greely, Roberta Thyge-son, and Geraldine Kennedy were guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Crim-mins at their home Sunday afternoon. Looking It Over By Harry Kluge If you're wondering what the fellows on the golf squad are carrying beans around for, here's the reason. The players agree on a certain price for each bean and the losers of each hole pays the winner one bean. Pat Jacobson and Bob Lindsley played last week and when the dust clouds cleared away, Bob had enough beans to make soup for Daniels hall and, incidentally, all of Pat's money. * * * » Babe Ruth says that dancing and golfing are the two reasons why his legs have not buckled under the weight of his ponderous frame. If that's so, the entire golf squad has no immediate danger of becoming invalids. * « » * Intramural athletics have suffered greatly from the lack of enthusiasm during the spring quarter. One of the reasons is that many of the intramural stars didn't enter school this quarter. Also, during the winter quarter, only ten men played on varsity basketball. This quarter, there are four major sports, baseball, tennis, golf, and track, occupying athletes' attention. Tennis seems to be the most popular intramural sport with twenty players signed for the ladder tournament. * * * * Coach Sam Carver has arranged a class track meet with the freshmen and seniors challenging the sophomore and junior combination. Dick Hudson will captain the freshmen-senior team and Don Holder will lead the sophomore-juniors. The meet is scheduled for April 23. Such a track meet as this ought to stimulate interest in the intramural program. * * * » Sport gossip: Did you know that a sprinter holds his breath during the 100 yard dash? And he only breathes once in the 220? Don Kenoyer ought to go places in the half mile. Carver is making a low hurdler out of Kenoyer, as he has a perfect build for a hurdler. Mon Orloff has better form on his tennis shots than any other player. Have you noticed the basketball let-termen wearing their new sweaters? Boots Wooten will probably bat in the clean-up position for the Viking baseball team. Wooten and SI Boulton are playing baseball for Bellingham in the Northwest league. Students To Serve As PE Substitutes Students who are in charge of the training school playground at noon are to teach physical education to the pupils of the third and fourth grades during the absence of Miss Ruth Weythman who is attending a physical education convention in the east. Other temporary changes in the physical education department are: Miss Molly Pearl will supervise the camp craft class whose members are now learning camp songs, Miss Blanche AnGerson will take charge of baseball; Miss Beth Moore will supervise archery; and Miss Agnes Martin is to assist Miss Mildred Jewell in teaching tennis.

Among these is Doris Hyatt who was graduated last March. She is now teaching the fifth grade and music in Everett. Some others who now have positions are: Hazel Kenoyer, Naselle; Evalyn Sears, Bremerton; Leila Voorhies, Cen-tralia;. and Esther Swanson, Copalis beach.' Miss Voorhies formerly taught at Copalis beach. A newly instituted spring social event in the school is the Valkyrie club informal, better known as the "Butterfly Flit", to be held at the Bellingham hotel on Friday, April 27. The dance is planned for fifty couples: Valkyrie members, their guests, and friends. Valkyrie president and general chairman, Gertrude Hall, says: "A delightful buffet luncheon to be served throughout the evening will take the place of the usual trite punch bowl. The cost of this luncheon is included in the nominal fee of 75 cents per couple." Programs are in the shape of but-terflys, carried out in blue and rose. They may be purchased from any Valkyrie cabinet member; namely, Gertrude Hall, Louise Vistaunet, Helen Scott, Loretta Balcomb, or Beth Hankins any day next week. Invitations were sent on Tuesday of this week with an urgent call to respond to them by Friday, April 19. Joe Samanski's orchestra will furnish the music from 8:00 to 12:00 o'clock. o Neophytes Abused By Old Reporters With howls of mercy answered by nothing but jeers, the Northwest Viking initiates were put through their paces by the hardened journalists at the print shop last evening. The Chinaman talk by Walt Suth-erlen, an introduction to type lice, and a hike through the abysmal depths of the Cavern were part of the formal initiation. This was followed by the informal one when all cries for compassion were drowned by shouts of laughter. To complete the punishment, the cubs will be entertained this evening at the home of Margaret Morse. Here the dreaded reading of interviews with prominent townsfolk will take place, and so the greenies will take their places in the world of writing. o Profs And Studes Take Many Spills That the skating party was a success even though the list of incapacitated students increased, was the opinion voiced by students and faculty who attended the affair PPPPP

Victor Dickmson, head of the CouncU, reports that the proceeds from the "Varieties" will be applied on the payments for the club pictures in the 1934 Klipsun. _ Every club in the school will be sent an invitation to participate on Monday and Tuesday of next week. The following message will be sent to the clubs: Dear Mr. President, An All-School "Varieties" will be held the next to the last Friday evening of the quarter. Each club is Invited by this invitation* to enter a number in the program. xTen minutes will be given to each club for its portion of the program. A prize selected by a committee of members of the Council will be awarded the club offering the best entertainment. It is hoped that your club will cooperate to the best of its ability. Yours sincerely, SECRETARY, THE I. C. C. It is hoped that the "Varieties" will accomplish two ends. First, it will stimulate the clubs of the school, giving them something to do besides thumb-twiddling. Second, it will make money, which is always desirable. The committee chief for the "Varieties" says that several clubs have already signified their intention of entering skits. OH, YEAH? -o— Committee Goal To Revise Curriculum The curriculum committee, under the chairmanship of Dr. Irving E. Miller, met Monday, October 9, to discuss electives as part of the curriculum. In former years, this committee has placed special. emphasis on required curriculum subjects. This year, however, they intend to work almost entirely on revising the elective system. It has been found that some departments are offering too many electives which are not important to a well balanced course. Other departments are found to be sadly lacking in electives which would be of great benefit to students. It is the goal of the curriculum committee to remedy this situation during the next year. _ o • Rec Hour Orchestra .Contract Awarded As the result of the rec hour t gt;r chestra tryouts, the contract for this qujarter was awarded to a student, ; Virgil Griffen, and his five-piece orchestra by the Board of Control.

Those elected to fill these offices were: Bill Allan, president; Sammie Carver, vice-president; Dick Albert, secretary and treasurer, and FJlene Morrison, Inter- Club council member. Since the requirements for graduation and the new degree work have been offered there has been a noticeable increase in the number of members of the junior-senior class. Among other activities, the class has charge of the graduation exercises and activities of the third and fourth-year students. This formerly was a part of the sophomore class routine. o Scholarship Society Changes Grade Rule The Scholarship society held its first meeting of the year and elected officers for the quarter on last Friday, October 8, in the Edens hall club room.

Harriet Rickerson, June Welch, Marie Clancy Service or Selfishness? " W H Y DO Y O U W A N T T O BECOME A T E A C H E R ? " Ten students at this school were asked that question. In four cases the answer was to the effect that the profession offered security at medium wages with a minimum of effort. Two students had no intention of becoming teachers. Two more replied that the preparation in that field cost less than that for any other school. One said, "I think I can get along with the children." The last did not know. In not one case had a student considered the advantages to anyone but himself which his entry into the teaching field might bring about. Not one student's plan for his life contained the word "service." Ilin, in "New Russia's Primer," condemns the American government for having no "plan." The American government has no plan because the American individual, gregarious in the dance hall, the cinema and the ball game, is individual in his ideals. He has no group aim. He stands at the center of the spiral of his own ambitions. There is a crying need in America for the projection of individual ideals toward the field of group ambition. This need can be realized most easily through the medium of free public education. But how can grammar school students in America be taught service to the group unless their teachers are men and women who have taken up the challenge, "What service can you offer best?" o '• ^ Confusion in Assemblies Mr. W. R. Dunlop came to this school last Tuesday with a wealth of knowledge which each and every one of us should have been interested in. Judging from the restlessness of the audience, many of us didn't realize what our lack of (interest was losing us. Mr. Dunlop presented his subject with the sincere attitude of one who is really interested in it and knows how to present if to the audience in such a way as to convey his enthusiasm to them. He showed a great deal of feeling for the work of the great Scotch poet Burns, and the content of his lecture was material which one cannot read or hear any day. It was the result of long study and diligent research for which we should have been very grateful. His sympathetic understanding of the moods of the poet Burns was unusual and his portrayal of the works of the Scotsman very realistic. Being a Scotsman himself by birth, one cannot doubt the sincerity of feeling and interest he was able to portvay in his presentation. Profiting by this past experience, let's not be misled again and neglect to gather all the knowledge that such a learned man as Mr. Dunlop has to impart to us. ;— B.

I didn't know whether I'd make it or not with this column this week, but here it is. Just last night one of my friends pointed out five new gray hairs on ihy head. No wonder, with all that world series to worry about. And then there's this' game at Seattle this afternoon, too. And on top of all that there was this column to get out. I repeat, what a week! Cross Country Run To Be Feature of Homecoming Three-Mile Course to be Laid Out for Distance Men. Event Draws Eight Entries About that game this afternoon— Well, I don't know. We all have high hopes for victory, but we don't want to become over-confident in any way.. Any team that is picked from over 100 men turning out is bound to be plenty tough, and the University yearlings are just that. This year's team down there in Seattle has been already rated as the best they have had in many, many years. So we won't predict too much for these husky Viking lads and then be disappointed, but we will say that if they hold the Prosh to two touchdowns we will be proud of them. Coming back to that world series, we sure were surprised at the outcome. If you remember, We predicted the Senators to win in six % games, but it-seems we were badly mistaken. Mr. Bill Terry and the rest of his crew, including the great Hubbell, got the jump on the boys from Washington and from then on *it was all over. Once again it was a series in which the team which got the breaks -.came out ahead, and it is our opinion that the Giants got all the breaks or at least most of them. Well, it looks as though Coach Howard Jones' Trojans are off to the races again. By the way they polished off Babe Hollingbery's Cougars - last week it doesn^tlook as though anybody will stop them this year, as the Washington State boys were given as good a ^chance as any to ' turn the trick. Now it is left to Jimmy Phelan's Huskies to uphold the honor of the Northwest when they meet in Seattle December 9, and if they are able to use Byrl Bufkin, and if the rest of the team isn't laid up with injuries, we will give them an even chance. Anyway we'll wish them luck. Once around the track, over a two and a half mile course and then once again around the track. That's the marathon running event planned by Sam Carver, physical education instructor, to be run during the Homecoming football game with Ellens-burg November 18. Mr. Carver decided to introduce something new iifthe line of sports and so at the first of the quarter called for all men who were interested in cross-country to get into shape for what might prove to become an annual affair. So far eight men have sighed with Mr. Carver and more may decide to go into strict training before the final date. The course has not yet been selected but will be done some time in the near future. Before the final date, time trials will be called to see how long it will take the men to cover the course. The event is to take place during the half of the annual Wildcat, Viking football classic. As this only allows fifteen minutes for the men to cover the course, they will have to start late in the third quarter in order to arrive at the finish line before the second half begins. Besides being a novelty the run will also give the Vikings a chance to see what potential material they have for next spring's track team in distance men. Each entree will have to be in good physical condition before he will be allowed to run. An examination will be given each man prior to the race to see if he is able to stand the physical strain. Those who have signed up to date are: O'Connor, Harlan Jones, Prank Jones, Albee, Hall, Moscrip, Roessel and Johnson. Independents Again Win In Volleyball The Independents made it two victories in a row in volleyball last Monday by defeating the Alley Cats, 2 to,0, in games. Using a quite perfected passing attack the Independents got together and had no trouble in winning from the less experienced Alley Cat players. With the attack built around Zoet, the Independents were able to take two consecutive games before their opponents were used to getting the ball over the net. Both teams had only five men out but the back court was very cleverly covered by both teams. This win put the Independents in the volleyball lead with no defeats in two games. o— Mosher and Moscrip Lose Out in First Round of Play I may be wrong, but the intramural basketball competition is going to be tougher than ever this year . gt; .tThe score today will be 21 to 14, either way . . .

PHONES 126 and 127 Established 1889 PACIFIC LAUNDRY Give Us a Daily Thought l^^tti lllil^ By ALLAN WATERS I wonder if Mr. Sulkosky ever dreamed that his son, Raymond' Jr., who kicked all the slats out of his cradle when only 4 months old, would some day become one of the most outstanding football players in Western Washington. "General" Sulkosky has made a record such as few football players ever attain. Bay's football career began at Puyallup high, where he played guard on the first team for four years. Twice he made the Southwest All-Stars. The farmers down in Puyallup valley still talk about Sulkosky as being the "Red" Grange of Puyallup. After leaving high school the Polish wonder boy played, for the Tacoma Athletic Club. Next he went to the College of Puget Sound, and the first year he received honorable mention for the Northwest conference All-Star .team. The following year Sulkosky was all-conference guard. Then coming to the Bellingham Normal, he was captain of last year's team, made the all tri-Normal, and was undoubtedly one of the greatest and most inspiring players ever to wear the Viking uniform. The general's policy is to make his opponents eat the dirt, for if he doesn't they might knock the "L" out of Sulkosky. The gerieral, who has been on the sick list, hopes to be playing soon on a winning team, and to do his part to make this a successful year for the Vikings' new coach, Charles Lappenbusch. o On the University roster are found the names of the following former students: Bill Fisher, John Gable, Dwight Ritchie, George Nolte, Clarence Thue, Arvid Griff en, Henry Banner, Jim McGlinn, Debby Altose, Julia White, Doris Barron, and Doris McElmon.

Soviet Russia Seeks Information and Specimens of Apocynum, Native Plant A letter received from the Lenin Academy of Agricultural Sciences by Miss Ruth Piatt, of the Normal school science department, shows that Soviet Russia is willing to borrow information as well as tractors and engineers. The U.S.S.R. institute of plant industry of t h e Lenin Academy of Agricultural Sciences has written to Miss Piatt asking for information and specimens of the plant Apocynum, which is a member of t he Dogbane family. This plant is locally known as wild ipecac, the roots of which are used in t he making of emetics. I n the letter to Miss Piatt, Dr. Pojrov, head of the department of new cultures and introduction, said: "Our specialists engaged in the study of the genus Apocynum are greatly interested in your native representatives of this plant." Paper Interesting Of almost as great an interest as the contents of the letter are t he paper and envelope used. These two articles alone are strikingly plain evidence of the inability of Russia to supply its own country with n e cessities, and the attempts being made at economy. The envelope was cut by hand from a piece of heavy blue paper, which at one time served to advertise some industrial plant, a picture of which adorns the inside of the envelope, together with some reading matter. The letter is written on a sheet of very poor paper less than half as long as the paper commonly used to the fullest capacity. The attempt at conservation made in the construction of the envelope and the use of a half sheet of paper would seem to indicate that Russia is following our own government in its reduction of appropriations for education to far below the amounts needed. , Letter a Compliment The Sltate Normal school at Bel lingham and the science department thereof may be proud of the letter received from the U. S. S. R. insti tute of plant industry. Nothing could more clearly prove the renown of the school and the high scholastic standards held in educational circles abroad as well as a t home.

What shall we do to help the professional class? How shall we solve our unemployment problem? How shall we increase our buying power? What policies must be followed by the United Slfcates in world affairs? Anyone having an answer to any or all of these questions will please apply to any member of these classes.

Her mother accompanied her on the trip. The historic tableau of the Governor's Day luncheon was, Miss Mead avers, even more distinctive and fully attended than has been the case in the past. All of the living daughters of governors and ex-governors of the State of Washington gathered at the Olympic dining room, accompanied by their parents. Speeches and toasts were given, and the earlier days of the state recalled. Miss Mead is t he daughter of Governor Mead, the fifth of the state's executives.

We are so weak as to spine and so flexible as to brain matter thai we can just barely sit np and take orange Juice... After drinking a multitude of black coffee and cramming deep into many a coldauid dreary night we are fully prepared to sleep for another five weeks! And they calTit an education! My dear, it's murder! ENTSTO REGISTRATION ARE ISSUED BY Preparatory Teaching Students for Next Quarter Are Now Signing Up PROGRAM IS ARRANGED -w;s.N.s.- As Vic Myers says, "Some of the people can part somewhere all of the time; and all of the people can park somewhere some of the time; but all of the people cant park everywhere all of the time!" Ain't it the truth? Just try parking around in the back of the building and note the number of laws you're breaking when you see the neat little white card which appears at the wheel. -W.S.N.S.- Fan mah brow! Have you seen the latest in bathing togs? It leaves as little to the imagination as did our last history exam! The outfits make the childish sun suits of the summer just past look strangely like full dress suits. It wont be long until the sweet young thing will don a lovely smile and. a straw hat and start for the beach. Daniel Cupid Will Reign Supreme at Women's Informal -W.S.N.S.- Imagine! A flock of prisoners have -made another spectacular escape from the county jail in Farm-ington, Missouri! And there are so many unemployed who'd be glad to occupy the vacant bunks and wait hi line for some free bread and water! Well! That's just what they get for being honest!

So what are we going to do? We're going to talk about the war between Japan and China for a while. That savors of newness and originality—does it not? They still occupy a ringside seat on the top of the newspapers of the country Cwe mean Japan and China). Go ahead and fight it out, folks! But for heaven's sake—remember not to play with loaded guns or poisonous, gases, or cannons, or bombs! -W.S.N.S.- Speaking of sad incidents! We read of one which nearly takes the .nurt covered cake! Mr. Nurtz, of Chicago, had his. telephone taken oat because of a name. Every time someone called and asked who was speaking and was innocently told that it was Nurtz, the practical joker would shout, "Nurtz yourself!" and ring off! Perhaps it's for the best! We'd rather read that he'd had his telephone taken out than something like—"Nurtz runs wild and covers sidewalk with self!" W.S.N.S. — Dr. Georgia Sattler, of Seattle, will open the twenty-fifth annual Bible institute of the Y. W. C. A. this afternoon at 4 o'clock in room 208. She will lecture on "What Is a Christian?" At 7:30 this evening at the Y. W. C. A.; Dr. Sattler will speak on "Recent Fulfillments of Prophecy Within the Last Fifty Years." Continuing the institute the girls of the Y. W. C. A. will spend Saturday, February 13, at the "Firs" at Lake Whatcom. The closing meeting will be Sunday, February 14, in room 208. Dr. Sattler will conclude the institute with another lecture. Miss Mary Darroch, a recent missionary in China connected with the China Inland Mission in Honan, was the speaker last Wednesday at a meeting of the Bible study group. Miss Darroch was held by bandits for five weeks about three years ago. Her talk concerned her experiences. / • o — Glub Makes Decision In Favor of Visitors At a meeting attended by presidents of all state institutions of higher learning and the chairman of the Board of Regents held in Ta-coma on February 5, reductions in administrative and faculty salaries at all schools of higher learning were agreed upon. It was estimated the salary cuts agreed upon will reduce expenses between $300,000 and $400,000 annually. . Resolution Adopted The following r e s o l u t i o n was adopted: "It is the sense of this meeting that in view of general economic conditions and heavy tax burdens and a desire to aid in all possible ways citizens of the state, expenditures for operations be reduced to the lowest point consistent with proper educational standards, and that administrative and faculty salaries, effective at the beginning of the academic year 1932-1933, be reduced according to the following schedule:. "Three thousand six hundred dollars and up, 10 percent; $2,600 to $3,500, 7% percent; $2,100 to $2,500, 5 percent; under $2,100, no reductions." The resolution was signed by the following: W. A. Ritz, chairman of Leaving tomorrow night, President O. H. Fisher of the Normal school will make a trip through the East to attend several educational meetings and conventions. On February 19 and 20, Mr. Fisher will be present at the meeting of the American Association of Teachers Colleges and Normal Schools which will be held in Washington, D. C. During the following week he will attend the annual meeting of the Department of Superintendence, and numerous conferences of educational organizations which will convene in the National Capital. At this time President Fisher takes advantage of the opportunity to hear many school authorities of the country express their views on educational subjects. Following his stay in Washington, the President will visit friends and relatives in Pennsylvania, and probably will spend some time in New York City. He expects to return home via California in order to visit normal schools and teachers' colleges in the South. TRIP TO CALIFORNIA FOR MISS LONGLEY Miss Gertrude Longley, president of the Faculty Forum, has taken a six weeks' leave of absence- Her father and sister are accompanying her on a trip to California. They plan to visit relatives and friends in San Francisco arid Oakland. Dr. Masters, of the research department and vice-president of the Faculty Forum, has assumed the duties of president during the absence of Miss Longeley. As a breather in preparation for their final drive in this year's basketball season, the Vikings will match wits with the Yakima Junior College next Tuesday evening, February 16, at the Whatcom gym. The Junior Varsity will tangle with the high-striding Ferndale town team. The Yakima outfit kicked the dope bucket clear out of sight in their last game with the Vikings. The final score was 27-28 for the eastern team. This defeat was a hard pill for the much-pummeled Vikings to swallow and they're out to even up this score with the visitors. Badly Defeated As a matter of comparative scores the Vikings should take the Yakima outfit with little trouble. Last week the Ellensburg Wildcats dumped the J. C.'s, 72-8. And as you remember, the Wildcats took tthe Vikings by some forty-five painful markers. Coach Sam Carver holds little doubt but that his charges will bowl over the visitors by an impressive score. With McBeath and Wahl at the forward posts, Rork at center and Sherman, Johanesen and McNeil alternating at the back-court positions, the Vikings should prove much too strong for the. Yakima quintet. The Junior College mentor has two cracking good forwards in Davis and Thorssell. Davis ran up eleven markers against the local clan in their last tangle. At center will be seen Smith, with Gladson and McPhee at the guard positions. This team embraces several former Yakima high school flashes and they possess plenty of speed and will be a constant threat to the Viking defense. The preliminary game will start at 7:30 with the Varsity fracas following immediately. The Kedroff Quartet, noted group which is id appear here on Wednesday, February 17, has a world famed personnel. in Professor N. N. Kedroff, CM. Kedroff, M. M. I. K. Denissoff and T. F. Kasa~ koff. All of the artists are natives ©7 Russia, having made concert tours of entire Europe and elsewhere.

ELIGIOUS EQUIREMENTS Religious services in Turkey are conducted in Arabic .translations of the Koran, and entirely unintelligible to the layman. Some forms of modern Christian religions,-too, use in connection with their services; a language unintelligible to the average worshipper. People must have their religion. That they understand what it is all about, matters not. Superstition is still more potent than intellect. R ADICAL EVOLUTIONIST This month the world will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of a noted revolutionist, a rebel, a radical, a traitor to his fatherland. No, you say. This month the world will celebrate the birth of George Washington, the Father of his country. RIDGE ECOMES A USINESS . The entire, country, American colleges included, has suffered intellectually from the much publicized Culberson-Lenz Bridge tournament. At the University of Washington the Daily has sponsored an all-school Bridge tournament. Further reports indicate that many colleges are beset with the same bridge craze. Beilingham Normal has been no exception. The extent to which the bridge fad has been abused in this school has prompted many persons to request strict and definite action including the prohibiting of card playing at the school. Do cards have a place in the school and during school hours? We doubt it. Is more damage done than spending valuable time in a comparatively useless activity? We doubt that too. Cards have their place. If the majority of students desire to make the school that place and subordinate everything else to that activity, something should be done, immediately, drastically. Either card playing should be abolished, or the curriculum enlarged to include "The Culbertson System" with instruction by the best professional obtainable. The reserve book room of the Library could also be transformed into an excellent card and club room. If the card epidemic is just a passing fad, and let us hope it is, the less interference the sooner it will pass. Let the Men's club room, the Women's League room, and the Viking office be excuses for card rooms. Let King Bridge reign. Soon we will tire of it as We do of everything else. Cards will find their own level, and disappear from the school. Study will again be possible and the episode will be—History. Statistics show education in the U. S. costs, on the average, 51 cents per child, per day. Of this only 28 cents goes to the teacher. Would teachers appreciate their positions more if every school morning •each pupil brought his 28 cents and gave it to the teacher as he would a bright shiney apple? : o—;———— To the person who sent that amusing, (C.

We like his style and think it is very easy to read but one of our young readers said, as young readers would, "You don't know what you are talking about!" It's the same old story—If you have a Buick then every man owning a Buick is a smart man, or if you prefer vanilla then folks preferring vanilla are the selected few. On the Campus Side Of the Keyhole Marydel Conrad pulling a fast one by sneaking back and forth in front of the English class door "Sammie" Carver barging here and there with a beeyoutiful wet finger wave and simply gorgeous sloeeves—the absolutely unusual happening—last week, more men than women at "rec" hour—"Al" Charlesworth tripping the light fantastic down the leaf-strewn walk, in company with a little "peroxide"—Dorothy Knuppenburg dancing dances with whom? Why, the little blonde yell-leader—whatta s'prise!— Numerous bridge games going full blast in the Men's room—"Hattie" Rickerson getting the scare of her young life by inadvertently bumping into the school's publicity hound—Irving Wahl being admonished to "pay attention" and drink in a little knowledge—tut, tut!—Henry Banner penning perfectly flaming notes to the femme in front at library instruction—Terry Cook, the big silent man, quietly, tremendously, cutting—cutting—cutting—out paper dolls—the usual hungry bunch of females going after the cookies at Women's League tea—"Dick" Dickson not doing too badly by chiseling now and then at the collegiate dance"—Gerald Dawson passing down the fairway with his coat thrown around his shoulders the Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde—. A ripple of laughter flowing over assembly at Prexy's "and you will pass clean on out when the bell rings"—George Dacfc tearing over the campus, pelting poor defenseless little dogs with rocks—Colin Campbell and other notables carrying tooth brushes around in their vest pockets —just what is the gag?—Helen Shipley getting all the dumb er-er-Dorm girls weeping at Jimmy Stoddard's supposed death in the linen closet. Of course we realize to lovers of "Vanity Fair" a lover of Drieser just could never aspire to any heights. Ideas are abstract and therefore not rated very high in the estimation of Mr. Average Man. And those folks who count ideas more than money—O, well, there's no hope for them at all. Have you ever seen beauty too lovely to bear?—then you are an introvert. Have you ever seen beauty and longed to conquer?—then you are an extrovert. We know a man who tries to conquer or revise everything he meets. He met us one day and our tie was twisted (We had twisted it for effect). Well, he straightened it. He thought our column was twisted also, but we wouldn't let him straighten that. We think that man is an extrovert.

LETTERS CONCERNING TEACHERS' POSITIONS MAILED FROM BUREAU Hundreds of letters are being mailed from the Bureau of Appointments this week, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Hopper, of the bureau office. The letters are being sent to the various school superintendents throughout the State of Washington in regard to teachers' positions that will be open to students during the next school year. These letters are sent from the Normal School every year by the director of the Appointment Bureau. The letter includes a blank on the reverse side of the correspondence which is to be filled out by the person receiving the letter and then returned to the office. Student teachers are also being registered at the Appointment Bureau this week. o The student body at Western IK linois State Teachers' College was asked this fall to vote on having the library open evenings. The result was more than five to one in favor of the library being available between the hours of 7 and 9.

Mrs..Forrest graduated from this school in June 1930, and is now attending the University of California at Los Angeles. Her essay was published in the October number of the Atlantic Monthly for 1931. Lived in Arctic Mrs. Forrest's essay is on her life during the three years she spent teaching school in Alaska. She lived in Wainwright, an Eskimo village of the tundra bordering the Arctic ocean. Life goes on there with few contacts from the outside. They redeive mail three times a year from Point Barrow, their nearest neighbor, 100 miles to the north. In August when the ice pack is nearly gone, a revenue cutter coes, bringing a welcome touch with their own world. In thirty months she spoke to only five people in her own language and saw no other white woman. The freshest news they have comes in letters and papers which are three months old. People Are Primitive The people among whom they lived are primitive and untaught but they have the same fullness of life we have, minus a few complexities. Surplus household goods Is stored in open platforms beside the owner's igloo but nothing is ever stolen. Murder-;is very^rare. There areiho written laws but they live by a code which their constant proximity to danger makes them keep. Mrs. Forrest is the daughter-in-law of a past teacher of mathematics in this school, John Forrest, and has many friends among the faculty. Members of the junior-senior class met in Edens Ball. Blue room last Friday for their initial social event. It was a real get-together with a fine program. Future activities of the organization were discussed. Guy Bushby, general chairman, was in charge. All but one number on the program was contributed- by members of the organization. Program Good First a group of popular numbers were played by Bob Tews' band. Preston Wright then gave two musical readings, followed by two piano solos by Jack Schaeffer. James Butler then contributed two readings which were well received. Two vocal solos by Evelyn Montgomery and a speech by Erwin Lea-tha, president, completed the program. Williams Talks Mr. Williams, class adviser, gave an interesting talk dealing with the history of the school. He urged the members of the organization- to strive hard to make more colorful history for Bellingham Normal. After the program punch and cookies were served. The group was then called to order and a business meeting held. Plans were made for giving an assembly to the student body. It was felt that with so much talent in the junior-senior ranks that they should give the underclassmen a treat. Departing from the usual Valentine and Washington birthday motif s that are so often used for February affairs, the Edens Hall informal is to be planned along unique^ lines. A "nautical idea" featuring a. lighthouse is to be used. The dance is to be given February 26 in the Blue room. Helen Jecklih is in charge of the decorations. ' ' -Or . MOTION PICTURES OF SEA LIFE PRESENTED Harry A. Kirwin, marine photographer and expert on sea life, fur-rushed the program for the Training School assembly held on Friday morning, February 5. Motion pictures and slides of famous vessels from all ports in the world, including the Commodore and the Vigilant, were shown. He also displayed photographs of sea animals and plants.

The Eastern boys step right out in front, at the start of the game and were never in trouble. They were leading at the half by the score of 19 to 8, and rapidly increased their lead in the second period-' The Wildcats had a powerful team, led by their rangy center, Haney, who was high point man of the game, and Sutphin, forward. Guards Airtight EUensburg defense was unbreakable. The Viking forwards were unable to get close to the basket, and Clint McBeath was held scoreless in the last half. Sutphin and Sherman put on a show of their own, which all started when the EUensburg forward stepped on the Sherman foot, and both were watched closely after their little melee by the referee. Vikings Fight With odds heavily against them, the Carverites fought their hearts out in an effort to try and cope with the Easterners. McBeath and Wahl were only able to score six points between them. Rork at center had his hands full in trying to stop Haney and Freeman, two centers that stood six feet three and better into the ether. Johanes, a new addition to the Viking" roster, showed up well in the last few minutes of the game when he was injected into the line-up. The Normal guards turned in creditable performances by holding down the Wildcats' forwards to nine points. Fans Boo The game was witnessed by the largest crowd of the season. The fans continually booed the visitors for their stall tactics, which has proven very unpopular-in this section of the country. EUensburg used a block play on offense similar to that used by Washington. EUensburg showed the effects of their two games on previous nights with St. Martins college, which were won by lop-sided scores. Lineups— Vikings 14 Coach Leo Nicholson and his EUensburg Normal Wildcats have paid Bellingham their Visit for this quarter and have quietly gone ha ck to their lair across the mountains. Although they soundly spanked the Vikings we're mighty glad to have had the opportunity to see this - so-called "wonder team" Yes, they er fast, clever aggressive and ™tffij** able of ringing home their shots, but—the more we saw of EUensburg Lst Wednesday night, the better we liked Cheney This Cheney team sbnply swept us of our feet .with their sheer fire and drive And, -as you remlmberX supv-marksmanfrom EUensburg hmad a hair-raising time in defeating the Savages.

This boy worked hard and got a big hand when he left the floor late in the game. As for the Vikings—well, they were entirely out of their class and did remarkably well, to hold the score as low as they did. They played hard baU and don't deserve some of the sneering remarks hurled at them by the "balcony buzzards." o o And in closing for this week we'd like to let off a little pent-up steam by saying tht we have a pet name for those "ardent" Normalites who remain seated at the games when Alma Mater is being sung. Included in this category are those individuals who will not join in the rooting and who cast sly and jeering remarks at the newly-organized and hard-working Valkyrie organization. Weil, THE game has finally come and gone. Meaning the big What-com- Fairhaven affair of last Tuesday evening. It was a great upset and a great game. The tables were turned in the fracas with the Indians adding a 25-to-12 Grizzly scalp to their belts. This game throws the two Bellingham teams into a deadlock for third place, with Lynden leading the league, closely followed by Mount Baker. That great institution of interest, rivalry and athletic prowess is slowly drawing to,a close for the 1931- 32 season. In plain English we mean t h a t t h e intramural basketball league race is nearly over. With the games next Monday evening the race will officially close and, undoubtedly, that evening wiU find tthe Co-Op Thugs sitting astride the heap with an absolutely clean slate. The Thugs deserve it as they have played a fine brand of ball all season, although last Tuesday afternoon the Vanadis Bragi came near toppling the bookseUers with a 20-18 score. The only other team to come near downing the Gross Gallopers was the Viking Manor outfit. • • , : After defeating the Vikings in a last-minute goal the Cheney Normal basketbaU five came behind in the last six minutes of play and defeated Pacific Lutheran, 31-19, last Thursday. INTRAMURAL SCHEDULE Four games yet remain to be played on the Viking basketbaU schedule. Tuesday, February 16, the local clan tangles with the Yakima Junior College, here. Friday, February 19, the Carverites pack their kits/and play the Pacific LutheranL College quintet at Ta-cpma. Saturday, February 20, the Viking* move south to St. Martins College at Lacey f or a ;gpttie^ AndW?t ^fin^:,gaine; of the 1932 season, the Bellingham Vikings will tangle with Loggers, here, Saturday, Feb And speaking of the Co-Op and Viking Manor, why not another game between these two outstanding quintets. Everyone knows that the Manoriies had the Indian sign on the Thugs in the memorable game of a week or so ago and Would have won had they not let up a, bit towards the end of the game and in the overtime period. This game would attract a great deal of interest and might be put on as a preliminary to one of the Varsity games at the Whatcom gym. Last year the Philos and Thespians held a post-season fracas of this type and believe us, this game was more fun than a picnic, with the Philos copping 107. Now what do you say, Cross and Baxter? Why not gel together and arrange a meeting for your respective teams? o—— "•• This game coming up next Tuesday with the Yakima Junior College i s going to be a humdinger. Defeated by a mere one-point margin, the Vikings will be out'.'for revenge with great gusto. Both, teams have taken stinging wallops from the El-lensburg Wildcats. Yakima suffered the worst tumble when ttie Wildcats carved ^seventy-two•, painful markera on the Junior Collegians, who in With the class B title safely tucked away under their belts, "Pop" Gunn and his champion Jayvees defeated tthe Y. M. C. A. on the association floor Friday, February 5, in the last city league game. The final score being 43-23. The game was never in doubt. The Normahtes stepped out in front and were leading, 15 to 11, at half time. They increased their lead as the game went on. For the Jayvees, Bond was "hot," scoring ten points for his night's work, and was closely foUowed by Cook, who taUied eight points, and Zoet with seven. Malm-quist and Eacrett, guard, each scored six points, besides turning in fine defensive games. Record Impressive The Jayvees ended the season on top the heap of the city league with but one defeat, suffered at the hands of the "Y." Gunn's boys won eleven victories which, for the first time in a number of years, brought the championship back to the hUl-side institution. Mr. Gunn was very pleased with the showing of the feUows this season. He expressed his pleasure at the opportunity of working with such a co-operative squad, and ventured to say that when next year Carver picks his Varsity there wiU probably be some of the Jayvees among them. Smooth Material At forward, Gunn had Bond, Cook, VanOver and Comfort to work with. Comfort was a member of the 1931 Jayvee squad. Terry Cook hailed from Sedro-Woolley and turned in many creditable performances. Bond and VanOver both figured heavily in the scoring throughout the season. In the pivot position there was Gissberg, of last year's squad, and Bob Zoet, of Lynden. Both men handled their jobs in fine shape, as they PPPPP

And, anyway, if people have to talk about the weather, it's time that they observe a silent period. Weather or not isn't decided by conversation, usually. -W.S.N.S.- In Spain the university students were among the chief agitators for a republican form of government. The Royalist party even had the colleges closed so that -opposition could be reduced. At the present time republican sentiment is being aroused by the students in Ice-' land, a country governed by the King of Denmark. Perhaps Iceland will be successful... At least here's to the spirit of youth who not only sees the need for progress and change but has guts enough, in some countries, to demand it. -W.S.N.S.- Michael Arlen scores heavily with a masterpiece of description in his book "Men Dislike Women". Describing a girl he says, "She was so utterly devoid of expression that it was "delightful merely to sit and look at her and dream of better things," -W.S.N.S.— The conversation of two girls, (That I just chanced to hear,) Ran on about the Mens club room; Said gossip one, "Why Dear, That red upholstery's horrid stuff, And unartistic tod, I see no reason for the choice Of such a shade, do you?" "Perhps the choice," said gossip two Was psychological, The color red, I've heard it said, Is sure to start the bull." W.S.N.S. — 4/#- In answer to the. classified ad in this column last week, I have received numerous letters from lonesome ladies who feel the need of a companion soul and are willing to furnish their money to help struggling young men with their education. Excerpts from the letter of one of the girls reads, "When I saw your ad in the paper it. seemed like the answer to a maiden's prayer . . . I lack that which is the most precious thing in the world—Companionship . . . I hope I will hear from you very soon, saying you will try to give a very lonely girl something to live for." Thank you, Miss Suzan Butter-ball. Get in touch with me immediately as I think I have found Just the man you are looking for ;'.' In consideration of the success of this match, I have decided to open up a permanent matrimonial agency and furthermore am considering a "date* bureau. It would please me if my dear readers would express their ideas of having a student- owned and operated bureau for securing Friday and Saturday night datet —W.S.N.S.— YE DIARY I do borrie a petrolized vehicle, with the roof lowered, and all thee sediments of springg, and do roll happily upp High Boulevard. I do find that the five-wheel cart do have much power, and so I do get grate enjoiment out of placing calfskin apparel heavily on the gasoline; I roundd the turn and speed, the more merrily past dear old Waldo, butt I do suddenly hear a mostt nerv-r^ldng screech and do find i l u ^ r be stopped for speeding. A OBJECTORS TO II SPECIAL FEE WANT-FORUM EXTRA ASSESSMENT FOR CAMPUS DAY ACTIVITIES BRINGS PROTEST. Goes for Lunch ONE HUNDRED NAMES ARE NECESSARY FOR ACTION. For the second time in three quarters, the students of Bellingham Normal resorted to the student petition to get legislation from the Board of Control, when a paper appeared on the bulletin board Tuesday night dealing with a specified campus day assessment. Shortly after this was posted a second one appeared in the same connection, but calling for a student forum. 25c Fee The agitation all started when the Control body put through a contested ordinance calling for a 25-cent fee to be charged each student for th entire Campus day activities. The petition alleges that part of this money will go for entertainment while the main part will be used for food. The cause for a desired change is hi the sentence explaining the fact that a number of the students board on a weekly basis at.the dormitory and off-campus boarding houses and therefore should not be expected to again pay for the lunch. It will take a hundred signers on each of these papers to get any official action, unless the president of the student body, Colin Campbell, (Continued on Page Four) —. o FROSH-SOPH PICNIC AT LAKE SAMISH TO BE SCHOOL AFFAIR Preparations are being made by the various committees of the frosh-soph picnic to make it the most outstanding' of. spring social events. Every student as well as every faculty member is invited to come and enjoy himself. Tickets of admission are necessary. Leaving the Normal at 4 o'clock on May 15 in cars especially secured for transportation, Lake Samish will be the destination of the gathering. Sports Many , Athletic games, boating, swimming, and other out-of-door sports will be scheduled for the afternoon's entertainment. After a picnic dinner, dancing will be in full swing in the Samish ball room from 8 until 11 o'clock. Bob Tew and his orchestra, will furnish the music. The general chairmen of the affair are Bob Walters and Colin Campbell, and they will be assisted by Charles Dowell and Paul Williams. The refreshment committee is composed of Mary McDonald, Lucille Mohring, Allan McNeill, and Roger Chapman. Sivert Skotheim and Aileen Hurl-bert are in charge of the transportation committee, and David Morse and Lovia Weiger head the amusement committee. — o— Geradine Swick Wins CopyofKlipstm" As Snap Contest Award Geraldine Swick is the Normalette whose work with a camera, resulting in a prize-winning snapshot, earned her a free copy of the Klipsun. The pictures entered in the contest, which closed Saturday, April 25, were judged Tuesday afternoon. The judges were Mr. James Carrell, Suzanne Waters, Colin Campbell, Katherine Friese, and David Morse. MISS NORA B. CUMMINS UNDERGOES OPERATION IN^SEATTLE HOSPITAL Miss jNpra B. Cummins, Social Science instructor, who is on a vacation studying, at the University of Washington, was operated on at the Providence hospital in Seattle Wednesday, morning of this week. Miss May Mead and Miss Delia Keeler were with her at the time. Miss Cummins had not been well since she went to Seattle and became steadily worse until physicians advised the operation. CAMPUS DAY DANCE TO BE AT EDENS HALL FDJST CLASS ENTERTAINMENT IS ASSURED BY COMMITTEE. After the glow of success in weeding up undesirable plants and trees, or after the glow of success in winning a race or water fight has worn off, Normalites can turn their thoughts to more pleasant channels. The rythm of dancing, the happy atmosphere that the dining room of Edens Hall will present May 12 from 8 to 11 o'clock cannot be resisted. The Campus day dance is to be a sports idea so plus fours, skirts of any description, color, or weave and sweaters plain, fancy, or multi-colored will be quite the thing to wear. Ann Pauling as general chairman has charge • of the dance. John James as chairman of the decoration committee has worked out a modernistic floral idea in which to decqr^ji^Y'.^^.vdh^dnjg.,..!!^.. Esther Sundquist^as chairman of the refreshment committee has ordered a goodly supply of punch to quench the parched throats of thirsty dancers. Basil Ames has charge of the clean-up activities and Helen Wahl has charge of the invitations to patrons and patronesses. It is predicted that Campus day will be one of the high spots of the social calendar. —— o HURLBERT IN RECITAL STUDENT, DELIGHTS ASSEMBLY WITH PIANO SELECTIONS. Music lovers were given a great deal of pleasure in today's assembly when Aileen Hurlbert presented her piano recital. Miss Hurlbert's varied and delightful" program was enjoyed by the students since it showed much selection and choice. Miss Hurlbert is a second year Normal student and the pupil of a local music teacher. Her program follows: . .1. Minuet Paderewski This antique dance shows that the composition of a great artist can be sweet and unaffected. 2. Scotch Melody with Variations :... Hovarth A haunting melody from Scotland with embellishments favorable for a technical display. 3. Fantasies Impromptu Chopin Among, other manuscripts found on Chopin's writing table after his death was the original of this composition complete in every detail, but written across the back, in his own trembling hand, were the words, "TjO be destroyed when I am gone.", "._.-.' It is difficult to account for this injunction, except upon the theory that he feared that both the form and tftk|gpntent of the work were too original, too subtle and complex, and too wholly unfamiliar to the musical world of his day, to be readily comprehended, and that it would either suffer from incorrect rendition or be condemned and ignored. Fortunately the request was disregarded by his friends. The work was published and has become one of his most beloved, as it is one of his most faultlessly beautiful, compositions. 4. Study in E Sharp Minor....Chopin I Chopin, thepoet of the piano, (Continued on Page Two) JEWELL DIRECTOR OF DANCE RECITAL - GIVEN ON MAY 7 ORIGINAL ARTISTIC DANCES AND AUTHENTIC COSTUMES ADD ADJ TO MAY FESTIVAL. CURTAIN AT 8:30 Featuring original dances in a vivid setting of brilliant costumes and unique stage effects, a dance festival will be presented May 7, at 8:30, in the Normal auditorium. The Dance Festival, which promised to be one of the most colorful entertainments of the year, will climax two months of preparation, rehearsal, and extended research into the background of each group of dance numbers. Original Dances One of the unusual features of the presentation, which is the first dance festival to. be held at Bel-lingham Normal in recent years, is the large number of original dances, created by Mildred Jewell and Marjory Horton, of the Physical Education department. Miss Jewell is director of the production. "An attempt is being made to model the original dances after the most modern trends in creative dancing," Miss Jewell declares. Bizarre use of line and rythm are said to add much to the artistic effect of the dances created especially for this program. Costumes Authentic Bits of color and romance will be added by the authentic costumes (Continued OH Page Two) -T-T : -O . ON CAMPUS DAY FEE TWENTY-FIVE CENT LEVY IS PLACED ON ALL STUDENTS. In a report to the Board of Con-rtol at its meeting last Tuesday morning during the assembly period, John Dixon, student chairman of the Campus Day activities, announced that the dining room of Edens Hall will be the scene of the Campus Day dance. He also reported on the progress already made by the committee on the plans for the day.

An instructor came into the classroom one morning last week, picked up two fire drill "direction" cards that are supposed to tajce tjie place of the ol* "Indian sign" above each room door, and brought put the question of the laxity in this school when it comes to preparation for meeting a fire crisis. We were convinced. Convinced that in the past few years we have slipped up on one of the most vital "ceremonies" that can be practiced in any school. There are few students that have ever noticed those signs above most of the doors. Signs that are brief and explain little. We'd put up money that if a surprise alarm was started there would be many lost sheep wandering somewhere in a hurry, but just where and„T why, few of fjiem would know. There was a time when at least one fire drill was held every quarter, and the students were well informed as to what routes they Were to take. They would march a reasonable distance from the building and would observe other minor regulations set down. We are not particular as to whether the full drill is carried out here, but we do feel that the student jbody should be informed in certain phases of this. One of the worst jumbles could arise if a fire started in the assembly hall. The students are in no set order there and consequently without pre-instruction would not vacate the place in an orderly manner. When the whole school is centered at one time in one place, it is the easiest time for a fire to break out and get a good start before being noticed by anyone. In six quarters the writer has not known of any drills nor of any instructions being handed out. A rough poll in the above mentioned class proved that there were others that knew little of what to do. In formation could be passed out and attention could be called to the situation that would go a long way in avoiding any disasters. Buildings can t be vacated in a hurry with "every one for himself" and students jumping out windows, shoving, and running for the first door that comes to their mind. Plucked from the work of a daily colyumist: "School teaching: A way to kill time during the interval between graduation and matrimony." And here we thought we were soon to aid humanity by educating the masses. A BOAST The present administration of The Viking took first place in its division at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest with its Fall quarter issues. We have attempted to keep the paper up to the standard always held, and to give the students something worth while and creditable to the school. We will continue to strive for higher levels, and feel that we have received an award that will bring additional recognition to Bellingham Normal.

'V; lt;•,,; CLUB VODVIL SLATED DKAMAITES TO PERFORM FOR MAY 19 NORMAL ASSEMBLY. Piercing screams, weird whistles, a-a-a-ah—mystery enshrouded in the velvety blackness of night, horror of inconceivable depths with murder stretching forth the cold, cruel hand of an untimely death— at the Drama Club Vodvil on May 19 in the Normal auditorium—the shivers will run up and down your spine, it is guaranteed that your hair will stand on. end and your finger nails will turn purple. Gripping Plot "The Haunted House" has a most gripping plot. Thrill seeking Normal students enter a house supposedly occupied by ha'nts. A murder, mystferious personages, vampires— the dreaded and unnamed; Dracula are all involved in this most dramatic and suspense creating research into the mystic realms. The ghosts of the departed ancestors of Helen Wahl, Aileen Hurl-bert, Theresa Hill, Elsie O'Donnell, and Ethel Little come forth to mock the foolish and pleasure-mad, headstrong students—Marion Bodiker, Esther Sundquist, Eilene Morrison, Art Pearson, and Conrad Bentzen— during their mad escapade. Ghastly and terrifying to behold is Cornell Wiese as a Phantom Lady. Three Directors The vodvil is directed by Theresa Hill, 'Virginia Howell, and Mary McDonald. Stan Smith has charge of the lighting effects and the production staff consists of Elizabeth Kaurtheur, Kathleen Hill, and Bob Roberts. „ ' f . • * ' • • . . , ' ,' •The Drama Club is producing this extravaganza to give its,members a chanceTo be active and also to give them an opportunity, to/obtain pins. i-2 .Diet Control of Rats •MMMaJMsjsjsjMJMMMMWMIMWiiMWMM*^^ ' : ^ ^ ^ u t e i | i p n classes of the Normal have been inspecting the white rats with which the department has been working. The students compared the growth of rats on a half sugar and half control diet, with that of those on the control diet, and found that the former did riot grow as rapidly as the latter. They also, discovered that the growth of the rats is very pronounced in the early weeks of life, a normal rat quadrupling its weight in four weeks and doubling it in half that time again. — —o' MISS DRUSE TALKS ON PICTURES TO PUPILS Miss Marie Druse of the Art department 'give a talk on pictures to the children of the training school in their assembly this morning. Beginning with pictures for the little children and working up to colors and composites which would be interesting to the older children, Miss Druse illustrated her talk by exhibiting slides. DANCE FESTIVAL IS WEDNESDAY NIGHT (Continued from Page One) used in the group of Scandinavian folk dances, which will be the second group on the program. Each of the costumes used for these quaint folk dances has an interesting history, all gt;• of them being brought to this country from Sweden and Norway. Two of the dresses were loaned by Mrs. Enoch Norman, of Bellingham, whose mother brought them to America from Sweden, more than twenty years ago. They are typically Swedish in their design, presenting an unque bolero effect, characteristic of Swedish costumes of this type. The Norwegian costumes are the property of Mrs. Johnson, mother of Camille Johnson, one of the dancers. An interesting story lies behind each of the native folk dances to be presented. Most unusual is the dance called "Bleking"—the Scandinavian equivalent of "bleaching". Peasants, according to the legend, made a custom of spending the long winter months in weaving fine linen cloth. In the spring the bleaching of the stores of cloth was made a festival, in which entire communities participated — the "Bleking Dance" being an outstanding rite of each festival. This still is done in remote provinces in Sweden. Other foreign folk dances will be a Roussian number, Kamarinskaia, an authentic Russian folk movement, and Tarantella, an Italian dance. The latter number is said to contain weird symbolism and unusual movements, because of the sinister meaning which it interprets. "Happy Feet" Dance "Tarantella," Miss Jewell explains, may be translated as "tarantula"— an insect thought to be poisonous by the Italian peasants, who danced to overcome the effect of its bite. They believed the shaking of the tambourine to have magical power to overcome the effect of the creatures' attack. "Happy Feet", as interpreted by Helen McTaggart, Ann Lee Lipscomb, and Jane Polachek, will be the featured offering of Miss Marjory Hortons' class in tap dancing. This dance is an original rythm created by Miss Horton. The program also will include solo dances by Mary McDonald, Edythe Koski, and Pauline Larkin. Miss McDonald will interpret the unsuccessful efforts of a slave girl to free herself from her captors in the "Slave Dance". Other solo presentations will be the "Tambourine", "Temple", and "Vase" dances. The leads are to be taken by Mary McDonald, Pauline Larkin, Edythe Koski, and Wilma Neeley.

Six ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 May 1 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SGH QOL, BELONGHAM; WASHINGTON SHORT LEAD TO WIN BRIGHT CUTS A LARGE SLICE FROM HIS OFFICIAL RECORD 69«/2 TO 641/2 Setting a new record of 4:29 in the mile, Norman Bright, star Viking miler, has proved himself as the ace of Coach Sam Carver's i r a c k squad. And led by Bright the Hilltoppers came through to win i h e track meet with the College of Puget Sound last Wednesday at Waldo field, 69% to 64%. Bright Wins Bright won an easy victory in the mile, leading from the start and increasing his margin with every Jap. At the end of the race he led the field by fifty yards. Not content with winning the mile, Bright entered the two mile event and won a close race from McCoy of C. P. S. .McCoy led Bright for several laps, but was forced to the rear when Bright lengthened out his stride, and the Normal runner's sprint at the end of the race left the Logger by about 15 yards. Take Lead Pulling away from the visitors in the last four events, the Vikings offset a ten point lead, and then, with the assistance of the relay team, won the match. Before the relay race the score was in the local camp's favor by 4% points, the winner of the relay carrying off the match, as first place in the relay netted five points. Eagan got off to a good start and -won a lead that Stewart, Carboneau, and Woitulewicz maintained. Flowers Jumps Noel Flowers had an easy time in winning the pole vault, clearing the stick at 11 feet and 6 inches. He took another try and went over the 12-foot mark for a sensation. Competing with Bright for honors was Davis, Viking flash, who placed second in the high hurdles, second in the low hurdles, and tied for first in the high jump. The javelin throw was the chip that broke the Loggers' back for C. P. S., for the Vikings won all three places, netting a total of nine points in that event alone. Another race so close that it was almost impossible for anyone in the grandstand to pick the winner was the 440, won by Brotman, who headed Carboneau by inches. The starter for the afternoon was M.

Whatcom Redskins Subdue Vikings The .Vikings were on the losing end of a hard fought baseball battle Tuesday afternoon when they took a" 13.-10 drubbing at the hands of the Whatcom Redskins on Wal do field. Dixon, Abbott, Wooten, and Lead en were the leading hitters for the Normal. The Vikings played a good game of ball, but failed to fall into their regular stride. The pre-ceeding Friday they beat the Redskins eight to two. Homer Hit Walt Bliss loomed up for Whatcom by hitting a timely homer in the third inning, bringing in two men. He. also chucked a good game while he was in the box. Batteries: Whatcom, Brown, Scarlett, Bliss, and Rea; Vikings: Lea-tha, M. McCleary, Rockey and Leaden. WHATCOM LOSES IN MEET WITH NORMAL VIKINGS TRAIN FOR C. P. S. ENCOUNTER ON WEDNESDAY. I n a practice meet as a forerunner to the big track and field meet with the College of Puget Sound last Wednesday, the Vikings defeated the Whatcom High track-sters 104 3-10 to 17 7-10, last Friday afternoon. Although having no opposition in the majority of events, the local team set some very remarkable marks and proved itself to be one of the strongest teams ever produced by Coach Carver. The Vikings equaled three and bettered two of the present Tri-Normal records. Bright Shatters Mark The Redskins garnered but one first place, Wesley leaping to a first place in the broad jump. Probably the outstanding performance of the day was Norman Bright's sensational 4:34.2 mile. Bright was not pushed and crossed the line more than half a lap head of his nearest rival. Incidentally, Norm shaved 6 seconds from his own Tri-Normal record. Possibly overshadowing Brighfs efforts was Jim Davies' hurdling work. Covering the high sticks in :16.4 and the lows in :26 flat, the former equaling and the latter bettering the present Tri-school marks, Davies marked himself as a very strong contender for conference championships this season. Thomas Leads Thomas, Viking dash man, broke the tape in the century and 220 dash in :10.2 and :22.4, respectively. His latter mark ties the conference mark. He was followed very closely by Gable in both events. Flowers tied the present record when he soared over eleven feet, six inches in the pole vault event. Eagan stepped the half mile in 2:5, barely nosing out Carboneau at the tape. Woitulewicz carried the 440-yard distance in 54 seconds. The summary follows: Broad jump—Wasley, W; Gable, N; St. James, W; 19 feet 5 inches. Pole vault—Flowers, N; Jones, W; Collier, N, and Jones, W, tied for third; 11 feet 6 inches. High jump—Davis, N; Stoddard, Anderson, Chase, Mosier, W, and Dixon, N, tied for second and third; 5 feet 7 inches. 100-yard dash—Thomas, N; Gable, N; Shields, W. Time :10.2.

"Pop" Gunn, set out to invade the land of the Loggers at C. P. S. Show Improvement This is 'the second game of the season for the Vikings, they having met St. Martins College here at Waldo field last Saturday. The Viking squad is doped to win the contest at C. P. S., as Coach Gunn's outfit has been showing rapid improvement this last week. Although they dropped a game to Whatcom high during the middle of the week, that contest can not be held against them, as the boys were slightly off form and also Coach Gunn was working out several new combinations, and giving some of his in-fielders a chance at hurling. Iverson Pitcher The starting line-up for today will find Dixon, Wooten, and J. Mc- Cleery in the pasture, Campbell on second, Abbott at short, Comfort on third, and Thorsen on first. On the mound Iverson will probably start the ball to rolling. Blan-ton and Leatha will be held in reserve to relieve Iverson. On the receiving end, Leaden and H. McCleery will be doing their stuff, and as yet it is a question who will start the game. Out to Win The Vikings have lost their first game of the season and this afternoon they will be out to win. If they can get by C. P. S. they ought to have a good chance of finishing the season with a good average, as C. P. S. always puts out a good team. In a practice game with Tubby Graves' Varsity they held the strong Husky nine to an eight run margin, i, *„• — V\-..'-^ lt;-i The next game of the season will be with the University Frosh at Seattle. • RANGERS WIN GAME FROM NORMAL NINE PUSH ACROSS RUN IN EIGHTH TO TAKE 5-4 VICTORY. LACKED PUNCH Three Climb Ladder To Tennis Positions Hedger, Rork, and Houghton have earned positions on the tennis team via the ladder route. Due to lack of time, the ladder cannot be employed to choose the other two members. Coach Sam Carver has chosen the four,most likely looking candidates for play-off matches for the other two positions. Keplinger is matched with Berenstein and Fresk with Gissberg.

Javelin throw — Kemphaus, N; Gravrock, N; Shelton, N. 152 ft 4 in. Discus throw—Shelton, N; Sutton, N; Oberleitner, W; 106 feet 8% inches. I n ability to hit hi the pinches meant defeat for Coach "Pop" Gunn's Viking batsmen last week in the game with St. Martins College. The Rangers pushed over a run in the eighth to give them a 5-4 victory. Iverson Hurls Well Ing Iverson pitched a fine game for his second start of the season. Striking out more men than the opposing twirler and yielding less hits, it was a tough game for him to lose. In the ninth inning the Rangers filled the sacks with but one out, but Iverson, pitching sterling ball, fanned the next two batters. Time and again the Vikings had opportunities to score but were in effective. In one instance, Dixon poled out a three base hit with no outs, but Ward, Ranger) pitcher, bore down and the next three men popped out or fanned.

Kitchen Kreu) on Top In Intramural Race Defeating the Fire Hall 12 to 5 last Tuesday, on Waldo field, t he Kitchen Krew established itself as a prominent contender for the 1931 Intramural championship. The game was an easy victory for the Crew from Edens Hall, but the fire fighters displayed plenty of fight until the last ball was pitched. The score read 11 to 1 up to t he last: of the sixth stanza, and that would probably have been the final score had not t he losers kept up their fighting spirit. At the last time at bat for the Fire Hall they brought i n four runs before they were retired.

A pertinent economic question disturbing college administrators is, "lower fees and more students or higher fees and fewer students?" As appropriations and donations have dwindled, operating expenses have been reduced. Needing more revenue, the school's first thought is "Raise student fees". Many have done it. Many others have reduced fees to correspond to the general downward trend in student expenses. College education in this state is • rapidly approaching its goal, "Education for the few." (Reference: Time, Aug. 8, 1932). And there are cases where 4 is a mild answer for 2 and 2. Do you follow me? No? W.S.N.S. "Among elementary school teachers in the United States," the Christian Science Monitor recently observes, "there are approximately six women to every man." This seems to indicate one of two things. Women are much better fitted fqr grade school work, or if not, there should be an excellent opportunity for young men in this field of education. ——W.S.N.S. The U. S. government divorce statistics show that marriages growing from college romances are the most enduring. The preacher who recently described this school as a "matrimonial bureau", probably was one of the unemployed. We should give him first chance, ten percent commission, on normal (school) V weddings.

Jones has served: in that capacity one quarter and is eligible to hold office four quarters. Jones was opposed for the office by Otto Finley. Pins Awarded Official award pins of the Associated Students were voted to four members of the staff of the Northwest Viking at the same meeting of the Board. The staff members who will receive the pins are Naomi Watson, Nadine Mattson, Bob Waters, and Dorothy Piala. The pins are awarded to those persons who take the two courses of newswriting for class credit and work an additional quarter as a member of the Editor-iar council. The students must have the approval of the editor and the faculty adviser. The awarding of the pins was recommended in a letter to the Board by Roger Chapman, retiring editor of the Viking. Chairman Interviewed Debby Altose, chairman of the fall Mixer, was interviewed as to her plans for the affair. She outlined briefly the decorations plans and "faculty sponsors who will assist her in the arrangements. Since the Board of Control was holding its last meeting of the year, a farewell banquet of ice cream and cake was featured. Miss Linda Countryman, newly appointed member was present, as were James Butler, Vernon Leatha, Elsie O'Donnell, Howard Mickelson, and Mr. E. A. Bond. o FIRST WEEK PLAN FOR FALL POSTED Enrollment for the Upper Division Students Monday A schedule of events for the opening week of fall quarter which begins Monday, Sept. 26, has been issued. Freshmen Enroll The first day will include the matriculation and enrollment of entering freshmen, beginning at 8 a. m. Sophomores, second and third quarter freshmen, and upper division students will register at this time, the entering freshmen not registering until Wednesday. During their free time between 8 and 10:30 a. m., students may be conducted on tours to points of interest about the campus. Two special assemblies will be held on Monday, one at 11 a. m., for all new students and the other at two o'clock for all students. The new students will be welcomed"'and announcements will be made by President Fisher and the president of the Associated Students.

The Gol- (Continued on Page Three) Club Members Hold Luncheon for Joshi During His Visit Here To honor Mr. Sunder Joshi, Hindu lecturer, a luncheon was held in the Edens Hall clubroom on Tuesday, Aug. 16. The luncheon was sponsored by the International Relations club, under the chairmanship of Katherine Lawrence, with Miss Nora Cummins, adviser, and Howard Mickelson, club preisdent, assisting. During the luncheon the persons asked questions of Mr. Joshi on matters relating to India. Between courses the lecturer spoke on Education in India", after which discussion was again resumed. Several faculty member were pres-en, together with members of the various political science classes, and the members of the International Relations club. • o CANNING OF SALMON AND PAPER MAKING OBSERVED BY CLASS Salmon to canned salmon was the route which Industrial Arts 60a classes witnessed when they visited the Bellingham Canning Company in South Bellingham two weeks ago, in the endeavor to acquire a broader understanding of foods. The make-up of a city paper and the processes of printing was illustrated to the students at the Herald building last week. After this trip they went to the paper mill, where stages in paper making were seen. They had planned to go to the pulp mill also, but the mill had closed down. Among the projects which the classes have completed this summer quarter are: Postal service, travel, flax, leather, clothing, rubber, musical instruments, paper making, colonial homes, silk, records, furniture. CLASS SEE SPECIMENS OF MT. BAKER REGION Mt. Baker was visited by Miss Piatt's field plant biology class last Saturday. They went to the meadows by way of the Chain Lake trail. This trip was made to study and obtain specimens of flowers and plants in the higher altitudes. The trip was but a fair success, due to the lingering of the snows on the low levels this year. Flick A p p o i n t e d t o Appointments Given Relieve Brigham in Research Bureau Theona Flick will be secretary to the Research Bureau during the fall and winter quarters. She will take the place of Charlotte Brigham who will complete work for her degree of Bachelor of Business Administration at the University of Washington. Miss Flick recently resigned as vice-president of the Associated Students. o '-^ INTER-CLUB COUNCIL INAUGURATES PLANS Measures for Stimulating Club Activities To Be Taken At the Inter-club Council meeting held Monday, August 15, arrangements were made in relation to plans for club life this fall quarter. Each club should have a representative appointed to meet with the Inter-club Council on Tuesday, September 17, at four o'clock in room 209. The above measure was taken because the council is hoping to start club life early this Fall. It is very necessary that this be done since the clubs have a part in the nominating of candidates for the Associated Students. New Clubs May Be Formed There is a hope that new clubs may be formed at the beginning of the quarter for persons having special interests. One club which has been suggested is an Esperanto organization. The International Relations club is planning a special meeting on September 18, for members and all those interested in joining. Other clubs may wish to plan for meetings on Wednesday or Thursday of that week. Statement Made Miss Nora Cummins, counselor to student clubs, has given the statement for the Inter-club Council.

When we busted outa here for a trip to Southern California, we felt glad! Long had we dreamt of long ocean rollers crashing on sandy beaches; of beautiful palm trees swaying in balmy breezes; of soft, rolling, sun-tanned hills; of red-brown pinnacled mountains; of vast and colorful fruit groves; of great oil fields; of the deep and massive redwood forests; of Hollywood—Gret a Garbo, Marrie Dressier, and the rest of the girls; of the modern, dashing metropolis of Los Angeles; of eternal sunshine . . .

This is a tradition followed faithfully year by year and this summer has been no exception.

And so i t is. Worrying about where next month's money is coming from, about what the dormitory breakfast is doing to our stomach, or about how to pass the time in assemblies profitably, has completely erased the wonders of Nature Beautiful (her best works here on Puget Sound) from our minds, and instead of going to bed thinking about the redness of the sun dipping into the bay and the gold splashed on the sides of Baker at sunset, we fill our silly heads with thoughts of the feathers leaking out of the pillows or the complete peace expressed on Prexy's face at the last Rotary banquet. Thus it goes. Even when we go on picnics we talk of the next or the last dance, or how mean the teachers are, or how "slick" we are a t ducking classes. Even wondering if there is a God is a credit to a person. It proves that he is entertaining thoughts beyond and above the latest patent method of wiggling his feet to the "Sweetest music this side of Heaven". 1 COLIN CAMPBELL, Associated Student president of last year, paid us a visit last week-end. Campbell, as some of you will remember, led the student body through as hectic a three quarters as any student prexy could be asked to do. Our present system of electing student officers via the nominating convention went into effect during his regime. There are three classes of people: those who do not talk about the depression through sheer ignorance of its existence, those fools who yap loudly predicting immediate revolution, or t h e return of prosperity (that elusive sense of having everything you think you want) and those who discuss it quietly, in small groups, planning how they can profit by it. OLYMPIAD REVIEWED BY SPORTS SCRIBE (Continued from Page One) At present there seem to be two economic alternatives. People predict that socialism is inevitable, that eventually the worker will tire of his slavish subordination and rise against the capitalist, annihilating him. (Capitalist—a neat combination of Scylla, Char-ibdis, Gorgon, and the things you see in "D. T.s"). A study of further, possibly future, developments along present trends brings some ' to the conclusion that Economic Feudalism is inevitable; that the employer, the capitalist will hold control over every smallest detail of his employees, just as in the Middle Ages, the factory taking the place of the castle. There are definite, marked movements in this direction. You can pick them out yourself. 'S ALL OVER NOW IGH SEVEN HUNDRED SUMMER Q U A R T E R at the Bellingham Normal for 1932 is now history.

A GOOD N U M B E R of you have been here this quarter working toward an end which will grant you the privileges of carrying on your work more thoroughly, in a larger field and for a longer period of time. Because of your return to summer school you have widened your knowledge in th education field. Newer methods, more modern techniques, and' an abundance of helpful suggestions have been offered you to be taken back to your schools for practical application..

T H E G R E A T E S T athletic demonstration of all time has just completed its run at Los Angeles. With 39 nations competing, the tenth Olympiad has proved itself unbelievably outstanding even though it was staged in the throes of a world-wide economic crisis. Nearly 1,000,000people attended this modern version of the ancient Greek games which was indeed a wonderful tribute to America, to the sports-minded world, to the Pacific Coast and primarily to Los Angeles, which has a habit of staging big things in a big way. Walsh". And did our hearts take an extra leap when Helene Madison showed the rest of the world how to swim? The Irishman Doctor Patrick O'- Callaghan, who got his practice throwing the hammer in a dentists' office. And Tisdell, that other Irishman, who climbed over hurdles as easily as a bull-frog leaps over a lilly pad. And then the steeple-chase had all the boys splashing around in a bath tub. "Ted" Hampson of Great Britain electrified the crowd with a 1.49.8 performance in the 800-metres that broke the existing world's record by a full second. Bill Miller of Stanford had to bust just another record to keep a spunky little Jap boy from copping the pole-vault hoonrs. The javelin had a host of throwers that made 195 feet look like a grade school toss. Nambu, another Jap, was the class of the field in the sparkling, different hop, step and jump. Never will we forget the distance run in which Ralph Hill, a Northwest boy, lost a questionable race to Lehtinnen, the Finn. Hill was a sport. But folks, as those boys neared the tape, the crowd went plumb nuts . . . I'm telling you, they were wild! And Carr, that picture of human grace . . . The greatest 400-meter man of all time, and its just a pleasure to watch him. The final day sent a burst of pride into the patriotic Americans as our two relay teams checked and re-checked a mob of other victories by shattering to bits two lofty world's records, in side of half an hour. And so it goes . . . . Yessir, Folks . . . Southern California's a wonderful vacation land, but for a place to live, we'll take Puget Sound!

I force myself to remember that when my emotions threaten insubordination. I insist —the tea was good. I had drunk the last of i t when I realized that those present were not some of the faculty and a number of students, as is usual when tea is served in the Women's League room, not I repeat some of the faculty and a number of students but a number of the faculty and no students—except, of course, myself and my friend. This was, I concluded, no ordinary tea. I was seated, with my empty cup and my room-mate, in a corner of the room. The faculty were standing. I made a further deduction— this was a semi-formal affair. I considered standing. If I stood I would, thereby, become a part of a group who were eagerly making the acquaintance of some person of note— in whose honor, I surmised, the tea was being given. I glanced at my room-mate—she was, apparently, still intent on her tea. My eyes sought the door—between i t . a n d me the faculty presented a solid front. The room was literally swarming with faculty and their numbers were increasing every second. A girl relieved me of my cup. I reached down and picked up my books, which I had deposited neatly on the floor. Was it the correct thing to do? How could I know? I had never before "crashed' a faculty tea. It occurred to me to look for the girl who had told me t h a t "tea was being served this afternoon"—and had asked that I "drop in and have some". She was neither serving nor being served. She was not there. My room-mate released her cup. The librarian was coming toward me. She was smiling—at me. Incredible! I rose. My room-mate rose. My color was rising. We were introduced to the guest of h o n o r - to others.1 Someone remarked about my position at Seaside. Seaside became the topic of conversation. The subject was elaborated. We discussed the weather, the pounding of t he surf, atmosphere in general. On my left stood the head of a department. He became inordinately interested in the books I was carrying. One of them was entitled "The New Humanism". It developed that "Humanism" was no longer new. It had died two years ago. I looked down—the title slapped me in the face. I looked up and smiled. My room-mate was suffering. New lines appeared in her face. She was aging rapidly. There was still another book— "John Mistletoe". My friend liked Christopher Mortey. He possessed himself of the book. He opened it. —solemnly he read aloud the snatches of poems printed opposite the table of contents. I noted that he read well, that his voice was good, that the book had a green cover. He assured me that the poetry was good. I agreed. He commenced to turn the pages, pausing to read a sentence here and there. "Christopher Morley had a good vocabulary." I agreed. He expressed a desire to read "John Mistletoe". I wanted to give him the book but it was not mine. I observed that a lane had opened up to the doorway. My rescuer had made the same discovery. He returned the book. I mumbled something about leaving and was gone. I regained consciousness on the other side of the door. My room-mate was beside me. I glared about as if by glaring I could bring before me the girl who had steered me into that room—and then—I remembered that the tea was good. Let's Go—places We've gotten oceans of notions about values and variety since we have been around seeing the town merchants. They have done their part for us and will continue to do so as will we continue to do ours. If we are in town during vacation we will spend even more time in the business section and if we are going away and coming back next fall we'll again patronize— our advertisers! A Helpful Hint A clean-up facial—its sounds refreshing. Make-up covers up a multitude of skins but will not alone make for peaches and cream complexions, that is more than skin deep. Mrs. Lee is offering another outstanding special this week, this clean-up facial for .50c. The change in your skin will surprise you after you've had it. Call 592 for appointments at the Manx Beauty Salon, 1218 Cornwall Ave. Novel and new are the flap-jack compacts. Great big round ones and so very flat. Old Shoes No sale—for old shoes can be made to look like new and when it's done . right—how they wear! Right off the campus we have the College Shoe Shop and Service Station. The manager has been in business for 25 years and speaks from experience. He lists his prices for us, which are: Ladies' half soles 75c and up Ladies' heels 25c and up Men's half soles $1.00 and up Men's heels 30c and up Reasonable, isn't it? I know that you can't do better anywhere else. And another thing, perhaps you have wondered about cleaning fluid. Here you can buy a fluid at 30 cents a gallon. Two gallons will clean four dresses, a suit, a coat, and several hats and purses. Think of i that. A service station in every sense of the word is the College Shoe Shop Service Station, (next to Baughman's) Tweed has loads of sports' appeal this season. The suits are stunning.

Things in General— at particularly reasonable prices. The men as well as the women will be patronizers of this department store for they have a full line of men's clothing. New ideas are introduced, values are extremely good and things are priced surprisingly low. When shopping I find that I can always save on things which I buy at The Golden Rule, 1315 Commercial And we'll see lots of knit suits again, with variations. Stock Up With Stockings! How to get assurance and how to keep it—get Strutwear hosiery in a variety of shades and keep a good supply. It is exasperating to discover a hole in a one a n d only pair of stockings. .We thought you wou;|d be interested in a line of hosiery which is now selling for 69 cents.

They were gathered there that week-end not merely to concentrate their appetites on Spanish rice,, salmon, goulash, corn and all the finery, but to become more familiar with the practicability of outdoor campcraft. With their worthy leader, Miss Ruth Weythman, they proceeded to set camp up in the morning of said Friday. Everything the girls undertook was in the form of outdoor living.

There are wars on in Japan and China! You'd better not mention it, however—it may be a secret. We've only heard, about it 5,000 times in the last month. -.W.S.N.S.— Speaking of brave people! Richard Barthelmess is actually visiting the Orient in search., of., a ..little adventure! We read about the Orient, hear about the Orient, and shiver weakly about the Orient—but as to visiting there—we'll find our adventure at Baughman's, thank you. —W.S.N.S.—=— We read that the coast has been going through the coldest cold snap they've had for years!.. Oboyoboy-ohoy! did we know that? Why, the other day, on the Way to school, we had visions every step of the way of big black headlines saying, "Local student is found frozen in attempt to get education". -,.",. Then the rest of the mob staggered in with shiny red noses and not-too-sweet dispositions and told us it Was cold outside and we saw other headlines saying, "Normal students are mangled by frozen maniac!" W.S.N.S. — People are still entering marathons! They drag themselves around the floor with clothes awry, shoes half off, and hair looking like the proverbial hay stack with the needle in it. If they had to walk just about half that far for a sane reason they'd climb up on a soap box and start expounding loudly about the crime of it! And, by the way, they'd probably blame it on Hoover! W.S.N.S. Headlines in a local paper say, "Decrease in Crime Shown in Last Month." What, with the talk about the cold snap, the depression, and the blasted war, the poor criminals probably had enough sense to realize that they'd never attain their full amount of publicity anyway—so why bother? — B.S.N.S.

FORD MAKES R E P O RT Two important changes in the constitution were discussed at the last Tuesday's Board of Control meeting. Awarding of managers' sweaters and the lowering of hour requirements for sweater awards are the two measures to be put to ballot. New Manager System Doing away with the present system of five quarters of work necessary for the awarding of a manager's letter, a new plan has been suggested which involves the junior and senior system as now used in universities and colleges. Under the new plan a student will be given a junior manager's award after working a minimum of four quarters in his first two years of school. This award will be a sweater and letter similar to the present super-varsity emblem. A second letter and sweater patterned after the Varsity award will be given to a senior manager who has served seven quarters in the position of a manager. Requirements Lowered The second change in the constitution, as suggested by a committee recently appointed by President Colin Campbell, is the lowering of- hour requirements for letter awards from twelve hours to ten. This change is suggested so as to make the sweater award hours consistent with the eligibility requirements. - Campbell announced that Roger Chapman, editor of The Viking, was working on a set of rules to govern a new policy of the school publi- (Continued on Page Two) a 'S TO BE HEARTS IDEA February 13 is Date of Affair Crystal Ballroom at "Hearts" will hold sway at the outside women's informal Saturday, February 13. The scene of this event will be the Crystal ballroom in the Hotel Leopold. Pearson Chairman The color scheme is to be in gold and red. Heart trees, heart lamps and "Valentine" themes in general will reign. The party is headed by Betty Pearson as general chairman. Donna Aisted is in charge of the decorations, Phyllis Lamoreaux the intermission number and Frances Robbins the programs. The music will be furnished by Jay Curtis and his orchestra. Ticket Sale Wednesday, February 10, the programs will be on sale in the Wom gt; en's League office. The tickets will be $1.10. The first 110 girls who signed are eligible to the programs. Those signing later are to come to the office, on Thursday afternoon for programs which might be left. This arrangement* is necessary because of the capacity of the ballroom. Edens Informal Definite plans for the Edens Hall informal have not been made, although the committees have been chosen.. The decoration committee consists of Helen Jecklin, Beth McLeod, Virginia Hutchinson, Helen Pybus/ Grace Finlay, Jean Davis, Leatha Dodge, Maxine Clyde and Isabel Morrison. Programs are in charge of Helen Richardson, Bobby Jones, Peggy Forrest, Louise Rice, Lillian Lux. Bernice McEttianey, Betty Doone, Lucy Huntington, Marion Todd and Charlotte Jones; r e - freshments,June McLeod, Margaret McLeod, Rhea Newman, Elizabeth Scheule, Inez WilUams, Helen Porter and Lota Lawrence. The date fpr.thfe informal is February 26 and ;Eafens^iE6iiit; ' 1. Two changes in the By-laws of the constitution of the Associated Students of the Normal have been approved by the Board of Control. These changes will be put before the students and voted on in the near future. The changes are given below: Amendment to Article III, Section 6, to read "That no individual shall receive an award who has not completed at least TEN HOURS of satisfactory work in the institution in the quarter in which he has earned his sweater." The rule as it now stands is as follows: "That no individual shall receive an award who has not completed at least TWELVE HOURS of satisfactory work in the institution in the quarter in which he has earned his sweater." 2 Additions to Article III, A Section 4, to read "The Junior • Managers' sweater shall be the same as the Supervarsity sweater but with a letter or letters designating for what the sweater was earned. The Senior Manager's sweater shall be of the same style as the Varsity sweater without a service stripe but with a 'W' on it." 3 Additions to Article III, A Section 3, to read "First year • managers will be selected by tryouts and from the first year group, two will be selected to serve as Junior Managers. Upon completing a total of FOUR quarters of service these managers will be awarded Junior Manager letters and sweaters. A Senior manager will be selected from the Junior group by the coaching staff and upon completion of a total of SEVEN quarters work he will be given a Senior Manager's letter and sweater." The present method of awarding managers' awards is on a two-year basis with FIVE quarters of work entitling the manager to an award.. Expressionism Opposes Realism In World of Theatre and Art Expressionism is not such a mysterious theory as it is often regarded. Briefly, it is a name for any method of theatrical production which is opposed to representation of anything obviously real or natural. Setting the action of a drama in the circus is one way of achieving an escape from realism. This is exactly what" Molnar has done with "Liliom." Scenery is of little or no use in such a scheme, but costumes and massed figures take its place. All sets absolutely essential to the action are extremely simplified and placed against a solid background, which is sometimes a drape completely covering the walls of the stage. Symbols Important Perhaps the term symbolism used in place of expressionism would' carry with it more meaning. At least, symbols are most important in the interpretation of this theory. Whether the materials for production are real or artificial does not matter. They may be recognizable imitations of natural objects or they may be abstract symbols of mood and feeling. Thus, they are expressionistic in that they are used to convey a significance other than that of mere representation. Fpr example, in a typical realistic production, a common chair is just a chair, but in the hands of an expressionist it will be so placed or so related to its surroundings that it will carry, in addition to its obvious qualities, a subtle emotional meaning. Theoretically it should contribute actively to the drama in the same sense that the actor does. , Functions in Acting As an artistic principle, expres- IELLINGHAM WOMAN WILL SING TUESDAY Honoring Lincoln's Birthday Is Object of Assembly Once more Mrs. Nan Dybdahl Wiik, vocalist, whose former appearances in the assemblies have brought much enjoyment to the students, will appear on the assembly program. She is to appear next Tuesday, February 9, in a song recital. . Mrs. Wiik last appeared at this school with the Mount Vernon Glee Club during the past quarter. In the opinion. of many, Mrs. Wiik is one of the most popular and best liked artists to appear on the Normal programs.. ^ A special program is being arranged by President Fisher for the honoring of Lincoln's birthday, February, -12. v Along with ^probable other" forms ;Qt -entertaiirmwht/^ Bp:eakji^ hour. ' ' sionism belongs chiefly to the realm of stage design. However, it functions also in the technique of acting. Though it has often failed in its function, it has often succeeded. Success is dependent upon a rather general recognition of the symbols used. In long established ritualistic customs, such as those employed hi the church, many symbols are used which are effective•" because nearly all beholders are familiar with their significance. On the other hand, when a modern scene designer places on the stage a representation of his personal emotional reaction to some portion of the play he can hardly expect the audience to derive from the symbol an emotional experience corresponding to his own. This is often overcome by merely distorting a natural form and giving it expressionistic force.

'ALKYRIE FOR IKING ICTORIES . Unlimited praise is due the students who were responsible for organizing the newly formed Valkyrie club. The instigators of this "back to pep" movement showed real student leadership. There have been many, difficulties to overcome, much opposition and prejudice to buck, but they have won by their persistence and energy. With such a successful start and with able sponsors retained as able officers, the club is well on its way to the success the club deserves and the school needs. All hail, the Valkyrie! o— For a Well planned, successful Freshman party, to Lillian Bennerstrom, general chairman, congratulations! o SCHOOLS TILL UFFER The supposition is general that the next few years will see momentous changes in government financial appropriations That education will suffer perhaps the greatest at the hands of legislative bodies is expected. The easiest place to cut expenses is and always has been in the schools. If the near future brings general tax reductions, will education suffer equally with roads, official departments, and other interests of the state? If not, why not? Dr. Rollo G. Reynolds, principal of the Horace Mann school, of Columbia University, states most ^ably in a recent radio address, what many think, yet what few express. "The hope of the world today lies in education," says Dr. Reynolds. "Education is the only means by which man has bettered himself, or can better himself." Taking persons out of schools and limiting educational facilities to save expenses is like tearing up the foundations to save the roof, thinks Dr. Reynolds. Why then does education receive such unbalanced attention when times of depression come and expenses are to be cut? All intelligent persons appreciate the value of education, yet even they are prompt in singling out the school as the first for the axe. In times of other catastrophes or tragedies does not history show that the children were the first to be saved? Is it not always the instinctive thing to first save the youth? "Women and children first" is an age old and respected cry. But is not education for the youth? Yes, for youth and the future of mankind. Still education is the first to suffer. The youth of the land are fthe first and hardest hit in times of economic stress. .———.—o With humble apologies to Edens Hall and Helen Edgar. The name of the president, Miss Edgar, was unintentionally omitted from the list of school officers in last week's Viking. —— o— A SININE A SSEMBLY X"^.NTICS A noted baritone holds his audience spellbound for an entire concert. The audience enthusiastically begins to applaud for an encore. Before the room is again quiet, onto the stage, rush two persons maniaca l l y waving their arms and yelling. If this be pep? ' Heaven forbid! Disturbing though it was, the yell leaders should not be criticised too severely for this thoughtless act. Arrangements were made, it seems, with the artist, who requested that the demonstration be withheld % until after, his concert. That the yell leaders would enter and put on their act directly after the last num- ^ r on the program was known to the artist and evidently agreeable to him.. It was just one of those things that happen. May it never occur again. *•/ W take at Dear Sir • -^-'^F^«fc«^^;;\iS^«^jte'-^^#o -'ArOT::'fcoAo refuses highv-schooi^nfcf:* (By Virginia George) There will be no dedication to this column—and we will also dispense with all footnotes, prefaces, introductions, bibliographies, etc. - ' . • ' * # * * . * Mental picture No. 0000000056%—suppose "Prexy" had'to sit on the stage for the contraltos, Scotch con-certists and oriental dancers, the same as he does for the lecturers?

BARRS (By Irene Schagel) "I have wrapped my dreams in a silken cloth And laid them away in a box of gold"— Because we must please and our dreams did not amuse yon. o — o — - One day we hiked to the very rim of the world and away up there we could see the tiny specks of the city below where man in his meekness, in his smallness was toiling away his short insignificant life. o—:—o- And we Wondered but mustn't wonder. o o we Away to the east we could see far flung clouds across the blue where other mountains rims were towering above other men who were struggling. And. then we thought—but we mustn't think. But then as the sun went down and the last rosy flash was gone we sighed and came down slowly—reluctant to leave so much beauty for the dark lonely valley where men were wearing away lives. o o And then we remember a railway station. What a thrill we get standing there amid the crowd— everyone saying good bye and everyone, bag in hand, going somewhere. 0 0 Away down the track we heard the bells and the shrill whistle— Click, clicking away into a sort of a rhythmic song the wheels came nearer and nearer. o o The screeching wheels and the final goodbye—then the noisy coach, the boys calling out "Sandwiches, hard boiled eggs, and fresh milk"' o o We remember of paying twice what they were worth for an apple, some peanuts and a bar and settling back to our thoughts while miles sped by. 0 o There was a lovely lady across the aisle trying to read the newspaper over the man's shoulder in front of her. o o A train is like most of us—it keeps going and going and never arrives. o o KLIPSUN PICTURES M E R E A D Y i * ^ ^ AFTErlWEEKOFWORK "Members of the Klipsun staff are working hard to turn but one of the best year books; this school has ever had," was the statement made by Cathleen Hill, editor of the book.

Foremost are the three informal dances, first of which is the Collegiate Ball to l gt;e given next Saturday evening at the Chuckanut Shell. The ball is an annual affair of the Men's club. Saturday, Feb. 13, the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold Hotel will be the scene of a "heart's dance". This outside girls* informal will carry put a Valentine theme. The girls of Edens Hall have set February 26 as the date for their informal, t u t , have not yet planned definitely for'the affair. o :— Students See Abbey Players Among those who drove to Vancouver last Saturday to attend performances of the Abbey Players were Marie Lundquist, Margaret Orow, Bessie Taylor, Estelle Rock, .Lillian Anderson, and Alfreda and Grace Mollor. Waffle Party Planned Barton Hall held a house meeting last Tuesday evening. The girls decided to give a waffle party, the date for which is yet undecided. Card Party to be Given The Order of Rainbow for Girls will hold a regular meting tomor-rom evening at the Masonic Temple. The meeting and the initiation of candidates will be followed hy a card party. All members are invited. Edens Hall Comes and Goes FROSH PARTY ENDED; MEMORY LINGERS ON While serpentine, green suckers and green punch lasted the freshman party of last Friday evening was made merry. Jack Burn's music reverberated throughout the big gym, the scene of the occasion. As an intermission number Paul Karst sang several popular songs. The party, under the supervision of Lillian Bennerstrom, general chairman, was a "deep sea" idea. Gay colored fish adorned the walls while the false ceiling appeared as sea weed. An "octopus" overlooked the crowd until it was burst by a freshman's slingshot. "Although it turned out to be an all-school affair, a good time was had by all," says Miss Bennerstrom. o AUGUST WERNER SINGS ' IN ASSEMBLY TUESDAY Mr. August Werner, nationally known Norwegian baritone, was presented in assembly last Tuesday, February 2. Formerly connected with the Voice department of the University of Washington, Mr. Werner is now making a concert tour of the United States. He sings not only in his native tongue, Norwegian, but in French, German, Spanish, Swedish, Italian and English. Included in his program were lyrics, folksongs and arias. As a concluding number "Recitative and Aria from the Opera Xerxes", by G. F. Handel was sung. He was accompanied by Mr. Ar-ville Belstad. Y. W. BIBLE INSTITUTE NOW IN 25TH SESSION Many Local Students Attend1 Piano "Concert By E. Robert Schmitz An audience composed largely of Normal students attended the piano concert' of' E: Robert Schmitz last Tuesday evening, Feb. 2, at the First Presbyterian church. This is the second appearance Schmitz has made in Bellingham under the.auspices of,the Bellingham ^Women's Music Club and the Normal school. His numbers were all well received, the audience calling for several encores. His program was as follows: Prelude and Fugue in A minor, Bach; Symphonic Etudes, Opus 13, Schumann; Prelude in A minor, Moonlight, Fireworks, Golliwogs' Cake Walk, Debussy; Nocturnes in C minor, Etude Opus 25, No. 1, Berceuse, Polonaise in A flat major, Chopin; St. Francis Walking on the Waves, Liszt; and Tocatta from the Fifth Concerto, Saint Saens. Ann Soderman visited her home in Tacoma over the week-end. While there she enjoyed a trip to Mt. Rainier, with friends. Polar Expeditions By Wilkins Make Interesting Talk Claiming that submarine exploration in Polar regions is not a new idea, Sir Hubert Wilkins gave an interesting talk to a crowded assembly, Friday, January 29. Being literally "shoved" into this business of exploration from the time he was a small boy, Sir Hubert appears to have - met with marked success. He had long cherished the idea of making the trip by a special made submarine. Funds were not plentiful, so a submarine, the Nautilus, was purchased from the United States navy. The trip was successful in that they were able to collect a great deal of scientific data of air and ocean currents, in the Arctic. His humorous disclosures of their attempts at procuring food, their stay at one of the bases, and the actions of the "human-like" penguins, all afforded his listeners a great deal of amusement. Sir Hubert Wilkins plans to make this trip again in the near future with a better craft to continue his scientific reports. APTITUDE FIGURES OF FROSH AND GRADE SCHOOL COMPARE Fifth Grade Present Colonial Program to TheTrcAnmgSchool Colonial looms whirred arid memories of Revolutionary days were recalled last Friday morning, January 29, when the fifth grade of the Training School presented an all-colonial program at their regular assembly. Flax Woven The dramatization, which was carried out in the form of a "Museum Idea", included a colonial school, Indian dances, the processes of flax manufacture, and candle dipping. The stage was decorated with colonial coverlets, and was furnished with a fire-place, a spinning wheel, and a loom. Naturalness Commended The extreme naturalness of the children taking part in the performance was especially commended by. those who witnessed the assembly. Miss Bertha Crawford was much impressed by the fact that two children who had been absent from the preliminary work done on the production, were able to fit in perfectly without receiving any special instruction.

When the final smoke of battle cleared; Cheney had a one-ipbiht margin to give them a 32 to 31 victory. The game was a fight from start to finish. The last half was one of the hottest, hardest checking battles that ever has been seen in Belling-ham. With only seconds to play, and the Vikings leading with one point, Lees, substitute guard, attempted a back hand shot from the corner that lipped the rim and rolled in just as the gun fired. McBeath Starts Drive Clint McBeath, Viking forward, started the fight when he shot a long from the center court. The Savages came back and ran up a 12 to 6 lead which the Vikings soon overtook. Throughout the rest of the game the lead never varied more than two points. The half ended with the Savages leading by two points, 21-19. McBeath had scored nine points this half, followed by Sherman, with six. Savages Look Good For Cheney, Davis, lanky center, dropped in six points in the first half, along with Henderson, guard, who made three field goals. The Savages used the old block play with Davis in t he center position and Wasmund calling the plays. Pederson, forward, scored six points to tie Henderson, while Davis increased his in the second half to eight. Viking's Guards Star McBeath, in the first half, just couldn't miss. In the second half they kept him out in the center, and he had about two shots in the last twenty minutes. Johanesenand Sherman both played stellar games at guard. Rork, playing against a handicap in height checked Davis to the lowest score of the season. Rork was forced to leave the game on personals in the closing minutes. Wahl also played a bang-up game at forward and came through with four foul conversions. . I n a preliminary to the big game, the Junior Varsity defeated the Whatcom County Dairy in a class "B" league game, by the score of 29 to 18. Malmquist and Zoet led the attack for the Jayvees.

Well, folks, if you missed that intramural basketball game involving the Co-Op and the Viking Manor quintets last Monday we say that you missed one of life's big moments. Those two league-leading outfits put on one of the snappiest exhibitions ye scribe has been for-' tunate enough to see. One of the things we can't figure put is how the Co-Op came back to overcome the eleven-point lead piled up by the Vikings. And in the overtime that finally settled the deal yours truly lost three vest buttons, a tonsil, broke a belt and half the head foliga turned gray. And although the consequences were rather serious, we'll give a pair of steam-heated shoelaces for more games of that sort, you IntramuraUsts! But that's only a minute of the great demonstration. A smooth-working Carver five sunk the first field goal but were stopped cold until the visitors had amassed a ten-point lead. The local quintet then rallied and forged ahead 10-12. During the remainder of the first half the score, with one exception, did not waver more than one point either way. Score 21-19, Savages, at half. The second half progressed in the self-same manner with foul shots dominating the scoring end of the melee. Incidentally, the Vikings made good eleven of twelve free tosses. • This great game was full of color, fire and spirit that in our time no other B. S. N. S. game has ever, possessed. Vikings our hat is off to you. You re OK! skin the wildcats And speaking of intramural basketball, we might add that it looks as though the Co-Op Thugs will take the season pennant with fourteen straight victories. They have already boomed over four teams, and with but three more games to be played they seem to have the well-known Indian sign on the other teams in the league. This Fire Hall bunch, led by Berry Marsh, are also a sweet looking outfit. Here's hoping they can handle the Co-Op. —skin the wildcats— Because of the mere fact that Ernie Pinckert, that great Southern Cal football ace, made an appearance on a Los Angeles stage, displayed his prowess as a cartoonist and answered a few questions regarding his three years of Trojan football, he may be barred from the Olympic Games. As you know the Games committee had arranged to put on a demonstration football game for the benefit of the foreign athletes and explain the nature of the game. And for the petty reason named above, Pinckert may be barred as a player on one of the teams. In our opinion this Amateur Athletic Board has made some very good decisions in the past, but— they have also made some that in the light of the foolishness of their verdict make the board look silly. ner! —skin the wildcats— . The addition of Holt, former Monmouth Normal (Oregon) bas-- ketball star, has very obviously strengthened the Varsity basketball squad: Holt, a big six-footer, played two years for the Monmouth Normal school and was a star of the first rank. In the recent College of Puget Sound game Holt was one of the main cogs in the Vikings' big drive in the final half. —skin the wildcats— , And as a parting shot for; this week We'd like to quote a short statement from Coach Carver. At a recent bullfest in the P. E. office a student was lauding the records of Gillespie, former C. P. S. 440 star and. Viking grid man. ' 'Huh, snorted "Sam," "that guy was so slow that when he took the track for a time trial the^timers used a calendar instead of'a'^sfop;.waichJ" '•i- •.,.•: ;:^kha'the7wUdcati^ m l i i i m Unable to1 overtake the huge lead piled up by the College of Puget Sound in the first half, the Bel-lingham Vikings dropped their fourth consecutive battle of the season 42-33, at the home of the Loggers, last Saturday night. The twenty-point lead rolled up by the southern aggregation in the initial period was too much for the rejuvenated Vikings. The game looked like a cinch for C. P. S. as the first half ended 29-9 in the Loggers' favor. For the second half, Carver decided to make a radical change in the line-up of the Vikings. Sherman, Holt, and McNeil were sent into the contest as Rork, Kienast, and Johanesen came out. This combination seemed to function better and the Blue and White gained steadily. Wahl Stars Irving Wahl, diminutive forward for the Vikings, was high point man of the evening with 14 counters. He eluded the C. P. S. guards time after time to place the Normal in the running. Carlson, forward, and Gagnon, guard, for Puget Sound were the big guns. They were dangerous at all times, scoring whenever the Viking defense gave them ti?.e slightest opportunity. Perhaps this juggling of the Varsity lineup may have a great deal of significance in future games. Holt and Sherman showed up well and will be giving a tough battle to Rork and Kienast for the starting lineup.

For the past four years they have attended classes together, blah, blah, blah. . . Before them lies the timber; let them build!" Respectful applause. " . . . and that these young people face the vicissitudes of life unflinchingly. That they live righteously, that they honor their community and parish, blah, blah, blah. . . . Amen". Little man, what now? Do you remember the kindly, fatherly gentleman, the robust, brotherly gentlemen and the optimistic, high-pressure gentlemen who visited your high school and mine and made the auditorium resound with words of cheer and encouragement. There was, for an instance, the very popular and very moral story of the baseball player who refused to die on third, but, watching his opportunities, succeeded in stealing home and thereby saved the game. Boy, what an inspiration! All it took in those days to work your way from the warehouse to the president's office was the dogged determination not to die on third and a high school education. * * * * * Of course, all this took place back in those Horatio Alger days before the economic upset. I have not attended a commencement exercise in the past five years, and for all I know, it may be a more sophisticated brood that takes the stage in early June. A brood that talks bravely of drastic readjustments in our social and economic system, rather than heroic doings with raw timber. But I doubt it. * * * * * Casual mention of Horatio Alger opens a field rich in feature story material. Everybody has, at one time or another, read the Alger books, and everybody was probably more or less impressed by the high virtuousness of the Alger characters, Phil the Fiddler, Mark Mason, Joe the Bootblack, etc. Fortunately, however, no one seemingly was ever inspired to follow in the footsteps of these Alger monstrosities. History has yet to record a personality so disgustingly honest, so priggishly so irritatingly clean hero of Alger fiction. minded as a contribution, "In order to teach geography properly, a good atlas is an essential instrument". A mighty sound statement there, refute. I mean to say its rather sound. Yes, that's right; a good atlas is just the thing to teach geography with. I fear. First Place in Press Contest Won by Viking All-American Rating Is Awarded Normal Weekly for Issues of Fall Quarter Dornblut Edits Winner 'A Fine College Paper' Comment Newspaper Critics Dornblut, Jr. edited the Viking. This is the first year the Normal paper has won Ail-American, the highest rating obtainable, which rates the paper as superior. Many Papers Compete Two hundred fourteen papers competed in the contest. All papers entered are classified according to size of school and frequency of publication. To receive Ail-American rating, papers in the four year teacher college class must receive a total of 750 points. The Viking record scored 780 points and, according to the score summary, excelled in headlines, make-up, department pages, and special features. The editorial column received a perfect score. "A fine college paper" was the final comment of the judges. Twenty-Two People on Staff Staff editors who worked for the winning paper last fall quarter are the following: Ralph Shenenberger, managing editor; Barbara Shute, news editor; Phil Campbell, sports editor, Melvin Munson, assistant; Syd Lines and Nancy Jane Smith, co-feature editors; and Jean Tuey, society editor. Don Norlin and Don School Picnic Features Dance Dance Will Be Held on Tennis Court with Loiuse Schulz As Chairman That dancing will be the main feature of this year's All-School picnic was the decision made at a joint committee meeting last night. It decided to dispense with all other plans for entertainment. The dance will be held May 24 on the tennis courts. Location Not Available The decision was made after hearing the report of Mabel Rolle, chairman of the event. Each of the possible places for holding the affair has some disadvantage. At Wiser lake, the only hall is owned by the Ladies' aid. There is no dance hall at Lake Samish or Lake Whatcom. Birch Bay is too far away. As long as Campus day was held as a picnic, it was decided to have only the dance. The orchestra for the affair has not been selected. Water Carnival To Be Held The water carnival, which was planned for the afternoon, will be held at a later date, according to Bernice Finley, who has supervised the preparation. Although the tickets have ben printed, they will not be sold, and student body tickets will admit to the dance. With the change of picnic, the Students Give Opinions on Changing Normalstad's Name to Coincide With Proposed New Normal School Title not function: transportation, Fran cis Fisher; tickets, Emil Starlund; sports, Bill Taylor; food, Mildred Stoeker.

Although the name is fitting for the play place of Vikings, it is carrying the idea of one nationality a little too far. Gordon Millikan:.. If the efforts being made to change the name of the school from Washington State Normal school at Bellingham to Western Washington College of Education are successful, I think it will be better that Normalstad be given a new name that will coincide with our proposed new title. June Larson: I am not in favor of changing the name. If we are to be called Vikings, then why not carry out the Scandinavian theme? Wes Kandrup: I think changing the name is a good idea. If the name of the school is changed, then the name of Normalstad should be also. Lorene Smith: I think Normal- There stad is a bit too prosaic for our lovely recreation spot, and therefore should be changed. Emil Starlund: If the name of the school is to be changed, then I think Normalstad should also be changed, but the Viking theme ought to be carried out in the new name. Ruth Pearson: If we are to be a college and not a normal school, I think the name for Normalstad should be more dignified.

New Wrinkles On The Cerebellum Traditions Should Be Retained * This year's All-School picnic will be a home affair, without the picnic. If we are in favor of breaking traditions, the idea of supplementing a tennis-court dance for the beach program is fine. But why have only the dance? On each Campus day in the past the afternoon has been devoted to field sports and competition. This year the varsity baseball game was the feature of the afternoon. Yes, and even the popular water fight was lost. Why not then, on next Friday afternoon, have some of the things that were missed on Campus day? It is entirely probable that the humorous feud between Bartons and Daniels hall has not yet died completely, so the water fight is possible. And another main feature of the afternoon might be a softball game between the students and faculty. Those features of Campus day we hate to lose, so why not use them next Friday? The Book Case By Bill Pierron OUR PLANET, an Atlas of the World, mond and Co., Brooklyn. 1935. $5.00. C. B. Ham- In order to teach geography properly a good atlas of the World is an lt; essential instrument. It is also exceedingly useful in keeping track of contemporary world affairs. This new Hammond atlas, "Our Planet" is an excellent compilation of maps. It gives a fairly thorough treatment of all parts of the world. It is particularly good in dealing with the United States, giving almost every state a full page map showing county divisions. The book also contains the 1930 U. S. census figures, the latest foreign census figures and a good gazeteer of the world, giving brief, concise information about almost every political division. There are many other interesting features such as tables of highest mountains, largest lakes, etc. Though atlases are likely to become dated politically, this one is as timely as possible and will probably remain useful for a long time. Good atlases have long fascinated me, so I am rather enthusiastic over "Our Planet". It is not too large to carry about, yet it is big enough to give a very satisfactory mapping of the earth's surface. When I was in grade school, I wore out two or three atlases poring over them, and while I may have been conspicuously mediocre in much of my work, geography was my one strong point. I suppose that is the main reason for my affection for atlases and why I like "Our Planet" so well. For anyone with imagination an atlas like "Our Planet" can furnish much entertainment and valuable instruction. The assignment sheet says that I must talk about tokens. Well, let's see now....tokens....Better try to pun on it, maybe. Ah....Token number from one to ten. No, that's not so good. Better moralize. A token saved is a token earned. Take care of your tokens, young man, and the pennies will take care of themselves. (That's not so good either. Is it? ONE HUNDRED WORDS Cultivate the art of clever, impressive dialogue. Here are some suggestions that will prove invaluable if used correctly. Close all political arguments with, "If you don't like this country, go back where you came from". When the hearse rolls by, "Well, here today, gone tomorrow. You never know". When consoling some one who is about to lose his home, his wife, and j his faith in democracy, "The main thing, old man, is not to worry". In soothing a youngster who is earnestly probing Life's mysteries, "When you are older you will un derstand". In commenting upon unintelligent recitations by students of history, "Well, yeeess and nooo". For a plugged token I'd quit this and start writing about Mae West.) Not to change the subject, but has anyone sent J. D. Rockefeller a chain letter yet? Mailing out dimes ought to be right up his alley. This chain letter madness will have to become international if we tail-enders are going to make anything out of it. The thing is good only so long as it expands. If we got it started in China or Russia where there is still plenty of frontier . . . . Now, about these tokens. They are made of aluminum, they are larger than a nickel and smaller than a quarter; they won't fit a slot machine and they are going to be a bloody nuisance. What more can be said? Besides, trying to dash out last minute copy up here in the Viking office where everyone is token and yelling is not so easy as this column might suggest.

The Husky babes were too strong for the Vikings in the two mile, shot put, 440, and the relay. Taylor, Johnsen, and Kenoyer were the only first place winners for the local team. Holder turned in a surprising six foot high jump that gave him a tie for second. McKenzie also improved his javelin throwing to give him a nice second spot. The bright Ijght of the frosh team was the ease which Vandermay showed in getting over the 6.1 stick in the high jump. He did not try to go higher but Coach Sam Carver said that he did not doubt that the Lynden boy could get up at least two more inches.

Pacing what will probably be one of their strongest tests this season, the Viking netsters tangle with the Ellensburg squad tomorrow morning on the-local courts. Ellensburg Has Good-Record So far this season the Wildcats have an impressive record and one of their best teams in years. On the basis of the Frosh meet last Saturday, the easterners have a one-match advantage on the locals. In last week's play in Seattle the Yearlings hacked the Wildcats 5-2, while the Vikings were beaten by the Frosh 6-1, earlier in the season. Hadley and Denslow are the big guns for the Wildcats, playing No. 1 and 2 spot respectively. Jose and Johnson are other potential threats on the squad. Last summer Denslow had the distinction of being a partner on the winning doubles team in the Yakima invitational tennis meet. Shangle In No. 1 Spot For the Vikings, Shangle as usual will lead off at No. 1 man, playing either Hadley or Denslow. Star-lund will probably take over the No. 2 spot with Mullen, Orloff, and Joly following in the order named. In the doubles play the Shangle- Starlund, Mullen-Orloff combinations will probably participate. This match will have an important bearing in the choosing of players to go to the tri-normal meet next week. Here's good news for Viking football fans. All of next year's football games are going to be held on Battersby field. And they will all be night games, too. Maybe the baseball games will be held there as well. Then the coaches can charge.admission. They might make enough money to buy chewing tobacco for Miller and Zwaschka. I read in a magazine article recently that the average age for major league baseball players is 24 years . . . Tough luck, Pop Miller.. . and we had such hopes. During the last two weeks, Coach Sam Carver has been busier than Ghandi in a windstorm. With three sports under his care, he has lost plenty of sleep getting his teams back and forth from their games. With his track team 'having two meets, his golf squad two meets, and his tennis team four games, he has no fear of insomnia. What a chance for the tri-normal, the Viking track team will have if they take Cheney tomorrow! Holder, Johnsen, Taylor, Kenoyer, and Brinkman look like sure point winners. If the rest of the team can come through,., we., stand., a., good chance... The strength of Ellens* burg has already been tested in the triangular meet with CPS. Ellensburg and Bellingham were both defeated, but the Vikings garnered 38 points to the Wildcats 20. Walt Miller is umpiring the Sunday games at Downer field . . .

Badminton Games Still in Progress Good headway is being made in the badminton tournament in which there are fewer enthusiasts than in the tennis. The games started May 14 with the championship tournaments to be played off June 4. Women's Physical Education department tennis tournament is now in full swing, starting May 9, and the actual games, and tne runners-up for the championship will be made evident by May 23, which is the last date for tennis matches. After that date, the players will be playing for the championship. The coaching class is refereeing the intramural baseball and speed-ball games which are now in progress.

Showing a complete reversal of form, the Viking racquet wielders decisively defeated the College of Puget Sound netsters 5-2 at Tacoma, Tuesday. Joly in the singles, and the Orloff-Mullen combination in the doubles, were the only men to lose their matches. Shangle Leads Rout '" . Shangle, playing in the number 1 spot, started the rout off by overwhelming Eastes 6-1, 6-1. The diminutive little Viking netman had the match well in hand from the start and had Eates back on his heels all the way. Starlund continued to look good in beating Clifford after three hard sets, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. If the big Norseman can maintain his present stride, he stands a good chance of making the tri-normal trip. Mullen had the hardest assignment of the day when the Tacomans switched McElroy, their No. 1 man, to third spot, figuring that he would have-a better chance in that position. Playing his best tennis of the season, Mullen overcame the CPS star 2-6, 6-3, 7-5.

Taxes Take Ten; Ao Knockout Allowed Simply Because Venality Verifies Vitality Dry bones make an ugly sound when rattled. Political skeletons are no exception. Then, too, I have, personally, no desire to cast the least shadow on the reputation of any po-itical party or business group. But out in our garage I found some hand bills that said on one side, "Beware of the Sales Tax, Vote Against Initiative No. 94", and on the other side, "Keep taxes off the Workingmen's Bread and Butter and so per se", signed, "Citizens' Legislative League". I won't say, MTne following is of vital interest to every tax payer',, but just the same—Any tax is a levy on goods in hand, a percentage of Everyman's subsistence, or in literary terms an infinitesimal particle of globious nutriment from each supper's butter pat, for the doing of a group enterprise.

XXXIV.—NO. 11 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, December 13, 1935 Campus Chatter MOONS TUNNELS TUNES —By Morse Still occupying an important place in the outstanding events of the minute is the fall quarter play. Those who witnessed the initial performances last week were highly pleased with the production, and it has ben most gratifying to the Division of Drama that this interest has become so wide-spread among the students. However because of the fact that there are no reserved seats, those who arrive first will receive the best places, and all others will have to stand and grin and bear it. * * * » As time marches nearer and nearer to that fatal last week, which seems to envelop this entire insti-ttion and its inmates one and all in a heavy shroud of gloom, it is a pleasant thought that tonight's presentation of "Tnree-Comcred-Moon" will act as a last bit of relaxation before being snowed under those deep drifts of finals. So all of you who haven't yet seen the play had better avail yourselves of the opportunity of one last fling. * * * * One of the newest improvements around Normal is the new tunnel which stretches out under the main building, beginning under, the men's locker rooms, and ending at the lower hall. About five feet and a half high the tunnel fairly shines with whitewash and new cement work. The pipes of the heating and ventilating systems are placed against the walls, leaving free space for any repair work that may be necessary. * * * Probably the most noteworthy part of seeing the tunnel was the method of entrance. Two entrances are available, one through the door leading to the basement, near the big gym, and the other, through the men's locker room. For all you women who plan on visiting this place, use the basement entrance. I t is almost too trying to use the locker room. * * * * One never particularly notices just how squeaky the old basement floor is until one stands under it with his head almost touching the reverse side of that floor. While enjoying a personally conducted tour of the tunnel one hears overhead the tramp of many feel going to and. fro, and is filled with a desire to leave immediately before several unmeaning students come through the floor onto the unsuspecting inspectors of the new construction work. * * * One of the most pleasant programs of Stephen C. Foster melodies was presented last Tuesday by the Music department. The combination of numbers by the string quartette, the group singing of four of the better-known songs, and the two beautiful cello solos by Mr. Bu-shell made the hour an exceedingly pleasant one. The Music department has always been rather retiring about presenting assembly programs, but the general feeling seems to be that more of these would be very definitely agreeable to both students and faculty. * * * » At last visible signs of activity begin to show on the new athletic field, which is soon to be the location of the new Physical Education building. Already temporary buildings have been erected. Men and students circulate busily between the main building and the field, and all in all it looks as though any day THE building will be ready for use. * * * % While aU his talk is going on about the repairs and improvements being made to Normal itself little has been said concerning the many additions, being made to Normal-stad, the Lake Whatcom recreation property... Boathouses,.. courte.. for several different types of games, diving towers, and boats are only * few of the improvements. Final Examination Week Approaches Final examinations for the end of this quarter are being held Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, December 18, 19, and 20. Regular class work closes on Wednesday, December 18. The schedule posted on the bulletin board contains all information regarding the hour, day, instructor, and room of and course in which a final test is given. Students may program the work for the rest of their tests with the help of this schedule. Tests have been worked out to avoid the necessity of students having to take two or more tests in succession. In case the teacher feels that more than one period is necessary for any test, arrangements should be made to give part of the test earlier than the time scheduled. Board Wishes Separate Class Fees Abolished Dr. Bond Submits Fee Plan For Board and Assembly To Consider Soon Recommendation that student fees'be raised to $5.50 per quarter and that class fees be abolished was made at the Board of Control meeting Wednesday night. Dr. E. A .Bond suggested that President Gordon Millikan consult resident C. H. Fisher and that the proposal be submitted to the Associated students in assembly. Bill Brashler, Don Singer, and Mon Orloff, presi-idents of the freshmen, sophomore, and Junior-senior classes, respectively, were present. It was believed that incorporation of class fees with the student activity fees would simplify registration payments. Men's club fees were brought up. The fee of 25c was considered justifiable in view of the present revitalized activity of the organization. President Millikan gave an itemized account of extra expenses oc-curing incident to football. The possibility of taking publicity arrangements out of the coach's hands and giving this job to an NYA worker was discussed. Miller To Vacation;" Richardson Returns Dr. Irving E. Miller has requested leave of absence for winter quarter according to President C. H. Fisher. Dr. Miller will leave in January for an extended tour of the southern states. Dr. Miller revealed that it is his plan to visit in California with relatives and friends. Miss Charlotte B. Richardson, an instructor in the Industrial Arts department, will return to school next quarter after a leave of absence obtained during Fall quarter. Miss Richardson has been visiting friends and relatives in Massachusetts and Virginia. . o Mary Bollert, Dean UBC, Speaks Here Telling of women's organizations at the University of British Columbia, Miss Mary Bollert, dean of women there, addressed the Women's league in their assembly meeting this morning. Miss Margaret Schald played several selections on a piano accordion. Dean Bollert was guest at Edens hall last night and this noon will be a guest at a luncheon in the club room at Edens hall. All officers from each of the five clubs represented on the Women's League commission; .Alkisiah, WAA, Val-keryie,. YWCA, and Blue Triangle, will attend. Miss Bollert has been a visitor in Bellingham before. She was the guest speaker at the University Women's club, a few years ago. Vitamin Family Comes Through! Parasitic Poet Eliminated from Triangle When Vitaminess Dependable Family Friend More to Her Liking Finds Three Cornered Moon, the first fall production of the Drama depart-: ment of the State Normal, is the typical family play of post depression days, m action it follows the conventional dramatic cycle: a condition of material riches and spiritual impoverishment (spiritual in an un-religious sense), having to be followed by a condition of material rags but accompanied by a gradual awakening to other than material values, resulting inevitably in a condition of greatly enhanced spiritual values plus material (in this case, marital) gains. ' It deals with the fortunes of a modern family (I have mislaid my program, and therefore let me call them the Vitamin family) consisting of a mother, three sons—vitamins A, B, and C, and a daughter, vitamin D. Foolish and unguided speculation by the motherv in the stock market has resulted in the loss of trie family fortune, with the somewhat obvious result that the vitamins must now go to work. This counsel is given them by a slightly older friend of the family, a doctor—black bag and all—whom we shall appropriately call Hormone E. They do so, and, we are led to infer, find themselves, and consequently live happier lives thereafter. The love interest, the three corneredness of the moon, as it were, consists of the fact that vitaminess D is' seemingly in love with a poet, a parasitic individual not at all to the liking of her three brothers. This poet, whom we shall call Novitamin, cannot be disturbed in his ivory tower, where he is composing THE NOVEL, by such mundane considerations as the necessity of earning the bread that he eats.' His returning to his conveniently adopted domicile with a bunch of flowers instead of the news that he has taken the job which has been found for him (He has spent the day in ecstatic contemplation of fog on the river), proves to be the last straw for vitaminess D, who shortly thereafter discovers that it is the friend of the family—good old Hormone E—that she actually loves, and who, in Daddy Long Legs fashion, has "loved her all the time." All that is lacking to make the play saccharinely self-sufficient is the miraculous restoration of the family fortune. (Continued on Page Four) Men's Club Meets To Discuss Events Men's Quarterly Informal Dance Planned for February In place of the regular assembly, the Men's club met today in the music room to discuss next quarter's events. The Informal, one of the most important events sporsored by the Men's club was discussed. It was decided by the officers; to hold this quarterly dance in the Crystal ballroom of the Bellingham hotel, February 1, with Maurice Tweit's orchestra furnishing the music. An unofficial report of the club's basketball team, the Junior varsity who are playing in the city's commercial league, was given by the president, Mon Orloff. They have played three games and have remained unbeaten so far. The financial condition was also brought up as the club has spent some money in furnishing outfits for the team. o WAA Banquet, Climax Of Three Fall Sports, Given Thursday Night Decorated in the theme of the three fall sports, soccer, volleyball, and hockey, the WAA banquet was held last night in the Edens- hall dining room. A trio, Helen Scott, Joan Porter, and Peggy Foster, sang two songs. Barbara Goff gave a tap dance. Led by a sextette of girls, everyone sang Christmas carols, including "Jingle Bells" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." Maynard Ponko presented a medley of piano selections. Class team and star team awards were given. Maureen McClellan was general chairman of the dinner, assisted by Helen Acklen, decorations; Agnes Martin, program; Helen Lewis, publicity; Gerry Collier, invitations; and Marie Just, arrangements.

Hats Off to Rolle For perhaps the first time in their history rec hours have become truly enjoyable affairs for all concerned. Whether it is due to the quiet prodding of Miss Johnson and Mr. Marquis on the subject of social ethics or to the special pressure which has been placed on the students this quarter student courtesy to the faculty guest sponsors and general conduct at these informal dances has decidedly improved. Now the guests are given a comfortable place to sit and are afforded with some form of entertainment beside watching clumsy couples trip over each other's feet and listening to the whine of the muted saxaphone, which may not be music to their ears. It is under Mabel Rolle's competent chairmanship that the traditional bugaboos of rec hour, the hopeless boredom of the faculty and that immovable wall, the stag line have been remedied. Line Up Here Since last week the problem of persuading students to attend the production of "Three-Cornered Moon" has become the problem of how to keep them from overcrowding the hall. Each of the three productions so far have been presented to a full house. The audiences adapted themselves very quickly to the unusual situation and participated wholeheartedly in the rollicking spirit of the comedy. Being so very close to the audience puts the actors on their toes. Much of the character portrayal, whicli in the usual stage presentation is furnished by elaborate costuming, lighting, setting, and make-up must be furnished by the actor himself, under these new conditions. In this type of production the direction is usually taken for granted. Most people consider that the position of the characters in relation to the audience is merely hit and miss. Before the rehearsals ever began the director worked out the movement of the play scene by scene, shifting the position of each scene so that the actors would play toward every side sometime during the evening. With the reception between acts one and two, the actors mingling with the crowd, and the lovely music of the string quartet this was made one of the nicest affairs of the quarter and we are looking forward with pleasure to the next drawingroom production. Night Light - Shine On and On Campi Coast to Coast By McMahon After an egg-laying contest in the city, Michigan State carried the following headline: EGGSELENT EGGSPOSITION EGGSEEDS EGGSPECTATIONS The editor's excuse, we presume, was that the writer's brains were scrambled. • * * * « Hiram college has a peculiar getting-acquainted custom. The girls have the privilege of inviting the men to their dormitory rooms for one hour the first afternoon of school. Then the men play host to the women for a similar length of time. At that rate, Edens and the other organized houses would be more popular than now (if that were possible.) * * * * * Joe Colleges lament-^ i think that i shall never see a grade as lovely as a b for d's are made by fools like me and only God can make a b.

They might have used it to illustrate their Hallowe'en number. There's nothing like selling off your relatives. * * * * * The following signs were seen on the bulletin board at Carnegie Tech: Cheer leader wanted; must be neat, honest, and intelligent." A week later: "Cheer leader wanted; no qualifications necessary." An hour later the sign was down. Some people certainly know who's who around Normal. A letter recently came to the Viking office addressed: NORTHWEST VIKING JOHN VIKING, Editor BELLINGHAM, WASH. oittiimiing—no, Algernon, this isn't Thanksgiving, it's exam week approaching.

Moral: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow. o . . Muck . . For Morons By Mire Wanted: Christmas Spirit You may say you don't believe in Santa Claus or you've outgrown the effervescent Christmas enthusiasm of childhood. Perhaps you'll use the pressure of finals as an excuse for your pre-occupation. Nev-therless it would be a fine act of thoughtfulness if you would stop for one moment amidst the wild melee of the last week of the quarter and wish some stray soul a Merry Christmas, a nice vacation, or any other of those trite but cheering greetings. Last year I came here as a freshman. Perhaps I still had memories of the traditional high school spirit, with a well-stuffed Santy presiding in moth-eaten whiskers. Maybe I was just too young to realize that college students attempt to appear very sophisticated and blase about such things as Christmas. At three o'clock on the Friday before vacation began I stumbled blindly out of a classroom after taking a 12-page Economics test. My Christmas ' spirit was slightly dampened but my youthful exuberance soon dispelled the oppressive gloom which had settled upon me. I looked about me for a fa- : miliar face. People were rushig past with intent ; looks on their, faces, completely absorbed in their own affairs.

The Normal Jay-vees won their third successive game last Wednesday night when they defeated the Little Wonder Photo's basketball squad by a close score of 26-28. Both teams went off to a flying but not very successful start. The Jay-vees finally worked the ball down the floor to Pat Jacobson who took a quick shot and made the first two points of the game. Sybrant made the first score for the Little Wonder Photos team on a jump ball. Sybrant was jumping with Kluge of the J. Vjsquad at the foul line. As the referee tossed the ball, Sybrant leaped high and tipped the ball through the hoop, making the score tied after the first three minutes of play. For the rest of the first half, the game was practically a case of best man win. There were several fouls committed under the basket, by men on both teams. Although the LWP team was very unsuccessful on their long shots they showed wonderful ability for sinking "fish" shots from various places in the gym.

With Bob Weihe the spark of the team, the Viking basketball squad barely squeezed out a win over the Men's club team in the regular intramural game last Monday by a score of 20 to 21. This game also completed this quarter's schedule. Although the Men's club put up a good battle, they could not overcome the lead made by the Viking team in the first quarter. The intramural games are over for this quarter with the Co-op taking first place, having won all of their games. The rest of the teams in their order follow: Team Won Lost Pet.

Jay-vees Lead The first half ended with the Jay-vees in the lead by ten points. During the second half neither team could gain any headway over he other. The Jay-vees were sinking short fast shots and the LWP team was making several long shots whenever the Jay-vees left an opening for them to shoot. With five minutes left to play the score was tied with both teams fighting hard to gain a victory. Singer and Taylor finally made the decision for the Jay-vees by sinking two field goals. The LWP squad made a desperate attempt to overcome their opponent's lead but finally lost the game with the score standing 26-28. Winning this game Wednesday night made the Normal Jay-vees' third victory without a loss, tying them with J. C. Penney's team for first place. The next game the Jay-vees are scheduled for is with the Bellingham Furniture factory, next Wednesday night at the YMCA. Yes, lady, I'm a tree doctor, specialize in the higher branches.

The girls received their awards last flight at the WAA banquet. The teams were chosen according to the skill and ability in participating in the sports, their good sportsmanship observance of good health standards, and their grade point average. In order to play on the class teams and be eligible for an all-star team, the girls must have an average of C or better. A new method of choosing the teams was used this fall. Each girl that turned out voted on the players that they thought were outstanding. The coach and the class managers made the final decisions. Tuesday and Thursday nights- were the nights for hockey and volleyball turnouts. Soccer was a Monday and Wednesday night sport. Former Viking Player Is Judged Outstanding Ray Sulkosky, former Viking football player, has been playing guard on the Olympia town team and was awarded a gold watch for his outstanding playing during the season. Sulkosky played two years for the Vikings and was given the Inspirational Trophy in 1934. Sulkosky played in the back-field for Bellingham and was noted for his defensive work. His type of playing was much the same as that of Morris Tarte, the winner of the 1935 Inspirational Trophy.

Florence Lund was the chairman of the survey, with Lois Hankamp and Frances Watts, the sub-committee. o Stiger Takes Lead In Shooting Contest Although in its fourth week, the foul shooting contest, which is being given by the student body under the supervision of Coach Sam Carver, is only half through. Johnny Stiger is leading this week with 47 out of 75 shots attempted, or 63 per cent. He is followed closely by Ladd Shangle, who has a score of 45. Others who are in the upper brackets are: Rab-ler, 43; White, 42; Belcher, 41; Carver and Morris, 40. Chet Dombros-ki and Alexander who were leading last week have not finished this week's shooting but would probably be included in this group. The winner will have his name inscribed on a cup given by the student body and placed in the trophy case.

Final Tea Hostesses for the last tea of the season, to be held on next Tuesday because of Thursday exams, will be girls of Harborview hall. If you haven't seen the tea service yet, here is your last chance this quarter! Changes Made To those girls who have full Thursday afternoons this will be welcome news. Next quarter the teas will not all be held on Thursday afternoon as is now the custom. The days will be changed to suit the convenience of the houses sponsoring them. For the purpose of making out this new schedule the house presidents and social chairmen plan to meet during the first week of next quarter. Miss Tremain is preparing mimeographed copies of a list which will show the various work to be done before and after a tea —work such as cutting cookies, filling cream pitchers and sugar bowls, cleaning up, etc. This is to aid in holding the teas in an easier and smoother manner. Talent Gathered I n connection with the talent questionnaires handed out this morning, the Leadership committee, whose chairman is Helen Neely, will compile a complete list of the various duties performed by the different committees. These will be handed out to house presidents, thus giving all girls a chance to signify on which committee they would perfer to work. How is your speech?

Dr. E. A. Bond, chairman of the Mathematics division recently received a copy from Hall through the mail. While attending the Normal, Hall was a football and track man, prominent in the 100-yard dash. Dr. Bond was coaching at that time and remembers the season that Hall cut down his time for the dash from 10.4 to just under 10. Hall visited here during. Homecoming two years ago. He -entered the Normal in 1911 and was graduated in 1916. He received good grades in his music studies and also in other subjects. He is now married, has a family, and lives in Astoria, Ore. His song was published at 568 Bond street of that city. —o Conference Discussed At IR Club Meeting Burdette Miller, Neil Powers, and Herbert Eisner led the discussion of current events at the International Relations club meeting last Wednesday evening in the Edens hall club room. Plans were made for a party to be held early next quarter. Announcement was made of the International Relations club conference to be held at Pullman, March 20 and 21, 1936. 'Club members from Idaho, Oregon, British Columbia, and Washington will have the opportunity to hear outstanding speakers and join in round-table discussions," said Blanche Pearce, president. I n the absence of the program chairman, Glen Nygreen, Presiden Blanche Pearce took complete charge of the meeting. — o College Prexys Frown On Assembly Knitters Colleges as well as social gatherings are taking up the • subject of knitting, according to a notice from an eastern paper which states that knitting by Smith college • students at lectures and concerts has been prohibited by Dr. William Allan Neilson, president of the college. The click of the needles annoys speakers and disturbs the audience," Dr. Neilson said. Smith college is not alone in facing these two issues. It will be remembered that the audience makes for the success of the entertainer, say psychologists. Examples may be cited where the enthusiasm of the audience brings forth the best in the performer. Knitting among Americans is for the most part a social diversion. That concerts and lectures are not on a par with a sewing circle was the stand of Dr. Neilson. »^Jtp «l£kvP® Q^BsF 3*5MS' • e WAtvs"» ••-RMfrsr* ••-Saws** •?««««•• FROM Bellingham's Beading Home-Owned Furniture Store —Choose A-DISTINCTIVE CHRISTMAS GIFT Normal Office Force Members Hold Annual Christmas Dinner Party at Townhouse Thursday Le Cocq and Bowden, Former WSNS Students Recently Pledged to WSC Chapter, Mask and Daggar, of National Collegiate Players Society Members of the Normal school office force held their annual Christmas party last night and Edens hall girls will hold their annual Christmas events this coming week-end.

XXXVI--NQ, 15 Live And Learn -By Don Gooding. Shades of Grandpa! Reminiscent of better and older times was the hdrse-drawh cutter taking advantage of the icy condition of downtown streets the other day. Years ago the place was swarming with them, and.unless you had the agility of an adagio addict, your life was at stake out-of-doors. * * * * * Some industrious, downtrodden politician should take advantage of the present session of the state's legislature and introduce a measure which would ultimately cause streetcars to chase potential riders instead of vice versa, as the system is now run. Then we could be sure in saying that politics are worthwhile. One not-too-well known col-league of yours has estimated his chasing distance at two miles per month, a goodly ^average. During tlito tlnje, Jtwo local sprint records were fatally; hent,. along.; w i th three garbage, cans, a bunch of pedestrians, and sundry other objects unavoidable at the time. And all because of a girl. Goodness! * * * * * Detroit moralists were given a seoere jolt one morning when they read of a judicial scandal whch somehow had escaped their notice. Two bedraggled prisoners had been led before the court and asked to take the usual oath. At the point where their hands were in.the air, the two gentlemen's trousers, pants to you, slid, downward, sending the courtroom into hysteria. The department was commended for its diligent searching but was requested to leave all belts, suspenders, and other supports on the immediate persons of all future defendants. * * * * * Speaking of legislation, it might be well to note that a bill has just been introduced in the halls of the state Congress which will change the names of the three Washington Normal from WSNS to Western Washington College of Education for our Normal, Eastern Washington for Cheney, and Central Washington for KUensburg. Headed by Whatcom's Senator Roland, 16 other lawmakers are united in an effort to force this measure through. * * * * * The movement was given impetus last Homecoming game when Governor Martin made some remark about Coach Lappenbusch's College of Education posters which set the pot boiling. So, getting together with the other Normal heads, President Fisher, who has been in Olympia this week,, began the task of convincing legislators of the merits of such a change, and judging by the present results, he was highly successful. WSCE, is here we come!! * * * * * YE OLDE CONGRESS They dined a bit, and wined a bit Adopted many motions The chief thing they accomplished was To scatter kindly notions. They differed as to methods They disagreed on ends The happy termination Was They parted wiser friends. As a result of Governor Lehman's last minute leniency, seven more prisoners will board at the expense of the State of New York, for the remainder of their lives. These same commutations of sentence will also save the taxpayers over $1000 in execution fees. Instead of $900 for six executions, official executioner Robert Elliot received but $300 for two, in place of $600 for four, only $150 for one. The question is, did the state gain anything? Perhaps some of you noticed the hne in last week's story of "Much Ado About Nothing,'' in which some industrious reporter tried to launch Monday into a lengthy rehearsal session lasting until late in March. He jaeant well, anyhow. Vander Griend, Zylstra Win In Primaries Lund* Tomco Ate Selected un Reps Annual Representatives. On the Campus Voted Wednesday In Elections Big Percentage Votes Prizes Awarded Victorious Pair, Subscriptions To Life Florence Lund and Ed Tomco have been elected most representative woman and man in Bellingham Normal's student election held last Wednesday in the Men's club room. This election is sponsored yearly by Normal's annual, the Klipsun. Miss Lund, prominent in school affairs, was president of the student body last quarter. She was also student body vice-president for four quarters and is one of those whose influence has put the Blue Triangle on the map. Miss Lund graduated from Everett high school in 1932 and is now in her ninth quarter at Normal. Tomco, the most representative man, is a two-year letterman on the football team and was this last season elected captain by his mates. Hailing from Seattle and a junior at present, Tomco attended the University of Washington as a freshman where he made the Frosh football squad. He is the second of the Tomcos to attend Normal, his brother Mike having played football under Lappenbusch three years ago. The men candidates nominated were: Ed Tomco, Chet Ullin, and Dick Carver; the women candidates were Florence Lund, Kathryn Hatch, and Margaret Thon. Of the 410 ballots cast in the election 385 votes were polled in the popularity contest. As prizes for the winners sub scriptions to the Life magazine will be presented. Their pictures will be featured in the 1937 Klipsun. This is the fifth annual most representative man and woman contest sponsored by the yearbook. The winners were in past years as follows: 1933, Doris McElmon and Vernon Leatha; 1934, Harriet Rick-erson and Otto Pinley; 1935 Christine Albers and Tony Zambas; 1936, Joan Hoppe and Bud VanderGriend. Sea Salts Extraction Told at Rotary Club Luncheon by Philippi "Useful products," said Professor H. C. Philippi, of the Bellingham Normal school chemistry department, before the Rotary club meeting in the Leopold hotel last Monday, "are being extracted from the sea for man's use in large quantities at the present time." "Of the 60 quadrillion tons of salt in the 450,000,000 cubic miles of water that covers the earth's surface," he continued, "three-fourths is common salt. Magnesium follows with two and a half quadrillion tons and then, in brder, are calcium, potassium, and bromine.' "The running short of bromine was the cause of scientists starting after materials," Mr. Philippi went on to explain. In 1924 the total amount of bromine used was 2,000,- 000 pounds per year, chiefly consumed in photography, dyes and drugs. By 1924 consumption of bromine, due to the increased use of Ethyl gasoline, had gone up to 9,000,000 pounds per year, ethyline dibronide and lead tetraethyl being used in preparing the gasoline. Up to this time all bromine was taken from salt wells in Michigan. Dupont's Experiment Since 1934 the Ethyl Gasoline corporation and the Duponts set up a floating experimental laboratory and, though their engineers were very poor sailors, they proved bromine could be extracted from the sea. Another company, the Dow Chemical Company, put up a plant on land. With the help of the United States 'Geodetic survey they finally built a plant to extract 15,000 pounds per day. This plant, built to extract bromine and then manufacture ethyline dlbromide, was finished in five months. The only other industry of this kind in the United States is on the coast south of San Francisco and produces Vienna Choir Boys Valentine Informal Headed by Pulver Women's League .. Choosts Hotel Leopold for Informal Sponsored by the Women's league, the annual Valentine informal will be held in the Crystal ballroom of the Hotel Leopold on,the evening of February 6. Martha Lou Pulver, general chairman of the dance, ap pointed committees and the list was posted on the Women's league bulle tin board. At the meeting of the committee chairmen Tuesday, it was decided to use the valentine motif and to make the dance a yearly tradition. Decorations will; carry the Valeh tine idea throughout. The committee also decided that the women will invite the men and purchase the tickets. Appointed by Miss Pulver were the following committee chairmen: Marian Rhodes, publicity; Alma Carr, programs; Pauline Barnes, decorations; Arlene Dickinson, refreshments; Lili Brown, patrons; Katherine Kobervig, entertainment; Helen Masters, properties. "In order to arrange for the perfect dance, it is necessary for the girls to sign the list on the bulletin board as soon as possible," Miss Pulver stated. The orchestra has not been selected as yet. YWCA Conference Set Back Until Next Week Scheduled for the latter part of this week, the annual Normal school Bible Institute sponsored by the YWCA has been postponed to next week, January 28-31 inclusive. Postponement was due to weather conditions which made it impossible for speakers to make the trip from Seattle. Meetings next week will begin Thursday at 4:00 p. m. From then on the meeting schedule will be as follows: Friday, 1:00, 4:00, 7:30; Saturday, 2:30; and Sunday, 2:30. Among the outstanding speakers invited are Mrs. Kenneth Colman, of Seattle, a leader of state Christian Endeavor work, and Mrs. J. Addison Campbell, who has lived in Korea two years and has been in active contact with the Christian missions there. -©— Miller Heads Officers .

Vienna Singers Due Wednesday Civic Music Association Gives An Opportunty To Hear Choir In Concert Normal school students will have the opportunity to hear the Vienna Choir boys sing in the Normal auditorium on Wednesday evening, January 27, at 8:15. 375 seats will be available for Normal school students. Tickets may be obtained by presenting student membership card at.the Co-op on Monday or Tuesday, January 25 and 26. The program is being given under the auspices of the Bellingham, Civic Music association. : Five hundred years a o when the members of the Vienna Choir boys were accustomed to visit the house of a feudal lord, they traveled along the Austrian highways in donkey carts. Today the representatives of that ancient and venerable institution speed along concrete highways from city to city in,a highpowered bus. Thus will the choir boys arrive in Bellingham, accompanied by Rector Schnitt, musical director Gru-ber and nurse Muhlbacher, who watches over their food and clothing. She prepares special food for the young troopers. Sports Appeal The Vienna Choir boys of today are a healthy, play-loving aggregation. They are devoted to basketball, swimming and soccer. They •love concerts, symphony performances, and chamber music, but they cannot make out the American comic sections. They prefer our American rotogravure section full of pictures of aviators, ships, and the modern" inventions in the field of transportation..-.

Regardless of restriction, where, what, when and how do under* graduates in your institution drink? 2. How closely are college regulations for drinking observed? 3. Iu what way has liquor consumption varied since repeal? 4. What has been the noticeable effect upon and reaction of the student body? 5. Are there any other ideas that you have on the subject as it applies to your institution, and have you any specific recommendation to make? Now.what shall we do? Shall we feel insulted, indignant, and disdain to answer such an impertinent question, or shall we write back and tell about Mr. Dack's weekly job of picking up empty liquor bottles from the tennis court after each rec hour? The question is open for discussion. Campi Coast to Coast Dr. McGregor, of the Teachers college in Charleston, Illinois, says: The lecture system is one whereby the notes of the instructor get into the notebook of the student without going through the heads of either. * * * * * Dr. Seymour, a faculty member of the same school, gave a "squirrel supper." It was popularly called "The Nuts Revenge." * * * * * Bird seed may be just bird seed to most people, but to the class in commercial design in Milwaukee State Teachers college it is a subject of greatest importance. The group has been designing the cover of a bird seed carton for a prominent pet food manufacturer. The student with the best design gets a prize. * * * * * Something new in the form of penalties was introduced at the University of Minnesota recently. Twelve students Were fined 15 credits for staging a pajama. parade. * * * * * "If the person who stole the alcohol from the laboratory will kindly return the cat's brains, no questions will be asked,' was the notice posted by a professor in an eastern college. • * * * * ' The University of Washington is offering a course in charm. The purpose is to teach the co-eds how to avoid, spilling cocktails on their Sunday best, and how to smoke gracefully, along with other things. * * * * * Soap sculpture is being offered in a non-credit, course in Westminster college. Well, anyway, it's all in the spirit of good clean fun. * * * * * From the De Pauw university we get the following conversation, considered typical of college folks. Senior: Wher'j' go aft' th' dans? Frosh: I took da babe home, den' went out an et. * * * * * All the world is waiting for the sunrise to come just a little earlier each day, * * * * * "Get your grades here and pass out quietly," is the wording of the sign lt;on the dean's office door at Creighton university. The last part is the most fitting for most of us. * * * * * Indian summer is that season of the year during which you burn your vacation love letters. o Book Shelf I SHOULD LIKE TO READ— "Hot Jazz," by Hughes Panassie; M. Witmark and Sons. Marshall W. Stearns reviews this technical translation from the French and plates it high on the bookshelf of modern music. "The publication," he says, "was no doubt hastened by the sudden popularity of 'swing music,' which term, by the way, originated in England. In case you don;t know, it is simply the creative part, distinguished by impromptu improvisations from the pseudo-symphonic (in the Gershwin manner) and the ballad (in the Tin Pan Alley tradition) as well as classical music. Mr. Panassie gives due credit to the negro for originating "hot jazz" and devotes several chapters to Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. "Caleb Catlum's America," by Vincent McHughs. A potential prospect for a Pulitzer Prize, according to Helen MacAfee, this book rates as one of the best of the late 1936 crop. Mr. McHughs has absorbed our tall tales historical, literary, and popular, and whipped them together into a rip-roaring American extravaganza of the days of Thomas Jefferson, (quasi-quoted.) For the most representative man and woman surpass in many ways; scholarship, activities, and a downright genuineness of personal good will to all whom they contact. Florence Lund and Ed Tomco were voted these honors by the student body with absolute freedom of choice, the entire enrollment being potential candidates. For'em and Aginem We do have an orchestra in this school. Did you freshmen that entered this quarter know that? I am an old student here. I know that the school supports an orchestra because they furnished the entertainment at one of the regular Friday morning assemblies last quarter. After that assembly I overheard many comments by both faculty and students to the effect that they enjoyed it very much. Immediately I began wondering why we hadn't been given the opportunity of enjoying more orchestra music. I am still wondering. Perhaps there are logical arguments against more numerous orchestra programs, but not knowing them I shall present more reasons in favor of my view. For one thing, I believe that it would save considerable money. It costs a great deal to bring some of the assembly performers to Bellingham. Then, too, the members of the orchestra put in many weary hours of practice. I think it would be some small compensation to play for an audience. It must be very tiresome —just playing, with no one to appreciate their efforts. R.R. o———— Our school paper should be the organ of the school as a whole. In these times of election, campaigning by an only paper is absolutely uncalled for. If an editorial is written concerning election, well and good, but it should bring out the good points of all the candidates and not support one man. It isn't fair to any of the nominees to have the official organ of their Alma Mater pulling for one, without mention of another. The paper may have lost as many votes for their favorite as they won. One student was heard to say, "If has the Viking behind him I guess he doesn't need my vote." Many share his feelings. D.W. Movie Review *^- The Stroller Last week's "cold story" brought this contribution from our fan mail. It was a chilly day in Skagatoon. The post-office conversation force posted the notice that read as follows: "It's not cold here. Over at Duckswampsy, the sunshine froze to the sidewalk, and it's been daylight for two weeks." In my estimation: Gracie Allen entered into The sacred realm of bards When she said a prison was Guarden of the Guards! * * * * * According to the latest report, the weather in Californa is "much more unusual than usual." * * * * * . Overheard: . . . . "he says the most idiotic things in class—and the trouble is, he's always right!" "Science students are just finding out that *a binary' is not a song from •Carmen'." . . .

More defects are being ironed out daily; especially since many producers have adopted a policy of paying a dollar to any person discovering a technical flaw in any picture produced. Much study and research has been expended on the problem of preserving film libraries for future generations. Newsreels and short two or three reel commentaries would have a special value in the field of history if they could be saved. Unfortunately not all of the persons in public life today who appear in our newsreels and brief features have the stage and camera presence necessary to make them appear to advantage.

Holly Street Morse Hardware Company Established 1884 Distributors of WILSON ATHLETIC SUPPLIES 1023-1047 State St. PHONE 24 By Lloyd Nelson Apparently the newness has worn off the new swimming pool. Before the physical education building was erected, every student was agog over the prospects of taking a dip in the lovely tile pool that was to be. Hardly before the plaster was dried around the bricks, students were pairing plans for being the first to paddle around in the jade depths of the new tank. A few sneaked in before the official opening. Just after the grand opening everyone went swimming, but near the end of the quarter there were hardly a dozen students using the pool. The number of swimmers for recreation only has ben diminishing still more this winter quarter. Excuses Offered By asking some of the students and faculty members why they don't make use of the pool, I received some very logical and a few slightly illogical answers. The most common excuse was, "there isnt time for swimming." Another alibi received was, "I am not a good swimmer and I dont like the idea of making an ass of myself in front of the good swimmers." One plausible excuse was a case of athlete's foot. Cold weather was a predominating alibi. Faculty members seemed to have neglected their swimming previously, but have been turning out in force this week. If the students will only follow suit, 'I'm sure President Fisher won't feel that his efforts to obtain the new building were all in vain. Recreation Hours Listed Special time has been allotted for recreational hours of swimming. Wednesday afternoon and evening are reserved for the faculty only. On Monday and Thursday afternoon from 4:00 to 5:30 p. m., the girls are privileged to take their dips. The boys' recreational hours are at 4:00 on Tuesday and Friday. Regular classes are entirely independent of these reserved hours. The only obligation the swimmers are under (outside of the small fee paid at registration) is cleanliness. It is deemed only fair that everyone swimming in the pool should be considerate of the other person's health. Consequently, every student is asked to cooperate fully in the use of the pool and to pay close attention to the rules posted in both shower rooms. Propaganda Terms Are Viewed at Faculty Chat Led by Miss Rangley, an aroused group of discussionlsts enjoyed themselves last Wednesday at the regular Faculty chat wrestling with the subject, "Propaganda in Literature". The meaning and similarity of propaganda and viewpoints occupied a great deal of the conversation, with the point being stressed that propaganda is often the result of ineffectual writing which skill would change to a different meaning. It was also pointed out that, contrary to popular belief, a propagandist was not necessarily a person holding anarchistic feelings and carrying a bomb in each pocket together with much denunciatory literature, but that instead most propagandists were quite sane reformers, everyone being propagandists at some time or another. This third in the winter series of talks was attended by twenty students and teachers. The next chat will be conducted by T. V. Hunt, of the Social Science department, next Wednesday. Any ideas in regard to a suitable subject for a talk will be appreciated. Blue Triangle Show Brings Down House Bursting with success, both financial and social, the Blue Triangle show came to a roaring climax last Tuesday evening with the showing of the third chapter plus the final chapter of blood - boiling serial, "The Indians Are Coming." Although this was the feature of the evening's entertainment, other diversions were provided in the form of a full length comedy featuring "Stanislaus Laurelus," a genuine African chorus, a somewhat darkened version of the spring dance featuring prexy Tory Lund, and the THE STUDENT R E N D E V O U X SERV-U-WELL Pleasing Variety AMERICAN SHOE REPAIR 1312 Cornwall Ave. Next to ---------- Northwest Viking - 1937 January 22 - Page 4 ---------- WASHINGTON S T A T E NORMAL S C H O O L .

Editor Soukie Says— The Vikings are away this week enjoying the scenery of Oregon and tossing a few scares into the Web-foot institutions, but they'll be back Monday to meet the University of British Columbia, the team upon which comparison of the Tri-normal strength actually lies. Both Cheney and Ellensburg hold overwhelming victories over the Canadians. It's up to the Vikings to duplicate. A packed house, an enlhusasiic audience, and a game they're still talking about was Bellingham s answer to the question "Do we want more games like the one last Monday night?" Emphatically, yes! The game was enjoyed by everyone including the players. Says Nds Nelson, "Never had so much fun in my life. Wish we could play the Globetrotters every night." CPS Objects to Vikings The Sports Ray column of the Sunday Bellingham Herald lets us in on the secret why the College of Pu-get Sound Loggers broke off their football relationships with the Vikings. Coach Sandburg says the Loggers lose money when they play the Norse, also the Puget Sounders play a round-the-robin schedule and haven't time for the Normal. Though we know that the Vikings could give the Loggers all the competition they want, deep down in our. hearts we can't blame Sandburg. We wouldn't want to see a team that has a reputation of losing more games than it wins. The Normal victories last fall were not irnpressive enough to cover the black eye that past reputation has given us.

Tonight they face the Albany college five in a return game, which should be a honey, according to Coach Lappenbusch, as the Oregon-ians on thejr floor are poison to all opposing teams. Tomorrow night the Linfield College Wildcats provide the opposition for the Vikings in the McMinnville gymnasium. This game is likewise expected to be close. Next Monday night students and local fans are in for an entertaining evening, as the University of British Columbia team is coming to Bellingham to tackle the Vikings. Having practically the same squad as last year, including Willoby, a forward who proved to be flies in the Vikings' soup, the Canadians will present a strong team. Lappenbusch claims the B.C. boys have the finest sportsmanship of any team on the Norsemen's schedule. Although last season the Norsemen enjoyed a double victory over the Columbians, the Normal mentor says that by no means is the game a setup, and that a Viking victory will be well appreciated. _o Saturday Special Fresh Butler Horns 2 FOR 5c 30c DOZEN Daylight Bakery 1305 Cornwall Avenue dependent team.

Canadian Invaders Will Face Vikings UBC To Show Wares Against Tired Cagers, Monday Barely rested, after a strenuous four-game road trip through Oregon state, the Bellingham Vikings will encounter a tricky five from the University of British Columbia, Monday night in the local camp. The Canadians have already taken on the Norsemen's Tri-Normal enemies, giving them both trouble at times, but in the end being beaten out by. fairly large margins. Cheney Savages eked out a win of 37 to 27, while the highly touted Ellensburg squad snowed them under 46 to 23. Matthison Canadian Star Matthison, a speedy guard, and Brodsley, equally speedy, both will demand attention from the hard-worked Vikings. Matthison, with excellent backing from his teammates, scored 14 points in the Cheney battle. Other cagers to be watched in the international tilt are: Berry, Turner, Hudson, Henderson, Pringle, and Mitchie, all fairly speedy and possessing an accurate eye. Tri-Normal fans will watch this game with much interest, as the comparative scores will bear some light in the forthcoming championship series. Coach Charles Lappenbusch's squad is expected to display a defensive game, as much of the Viking scoring punch will have been taken out of them in their Oregon entanglements. Negoes Clown To Win Over Normal Trotters Passing and Dribbling Hand Crowd Laughs Loafing to a 38 to 27 win over Coach Chuck Lappenbusch's Normal Vikings, Sappersteins Harlem Globe Trotters put on a dazzling show of court tricks for the capacity crowd which invaded the Normal gym Monday night. The Trotters, putting oh a fine display of hoop artistry, sank shots from all over the floor and showed passing and dribbling of the best. Their seeming nonchalance and who cares attitude bothered the Vikings no little but gave the spectators many a laugh. Commanding the tipoff throughout the game the Harlemites led at half time 14 to 9, which they easily increased to the 38 to 27 final score. While the Saperstein club displayed no extraordinary shooting their floor play and passing attack was probably the best ever viewed on a local court. The crowd, which filled the temporary bleachers to overflowing, was, kept in good humor, especially in the second half as the negroes worked for laughs and forgot about baskets. They abandoned the ball hi mid-court, went into a regular football huddle while the Normal team sank a basket unopposed. A few moments later the Trotters wildly sank one for the opposition thereby, decreasing their margin of victory. During the half time recess, Bunny Leavitt, introduced as the world's free throw champion exhibited his skill. In the preliminary the Viking Manor squad proved too strong for the Normal Co-op, taking them to camp to the tune of 31 to 18. Meat Packers in Lead; Murphy Again Is High Developments along class A intramural lane for the past week, show that t h e Meat Packers came through with two wins, swamping the Buttercups, who weren't in bloom iast Friday night, 36-9, and scaring the W club out to win by forfeit, 2-0, on Tuesday evening. In the other A league game on Monday, the boys from Mrs. Barton's "beanery" beat the Daniels hall squad 23-12. The Packers' main scorer was again Ed Murphy, who started in where he left off in his previous game, and scored 14 points to lead the class for the second straight week. Dzurick followed with 6 markers. Meanwhile, the Buttercups couldn't penetrate the intricate man-to-man defense that the Packers put up. Their best marksmen were Evich (formerly of the South Siders) and Munkres, both with 3 scores. The Bartons-Daniels fracas wasn't such a walkaway for the winners, as the Daniels team put up a fight before bowing to defeat, 23-12. Davis, with 9 scores, and Carlson and Tesreau with 6 and 5 respectively, looked good for Bartons, while Smith was swishing in 6 points for the losers. Vikings Beat Canadian Adanacs in Fast Game The Adanac club, of Vancouver, B. C, former champions of Canada, threw a scare into the Viking camp in last Friday night's game in the new gym, before the Norsemen emerged victorious in a second half thriller with only a three point mar-gan, 34-31. The first half was a walkaway for the winners, who increased their advantage from a 6-0 lead to 19-3 at the end of the period. In the last stanza the Adanacs got their scoring eye, shooting baskets from all over the lower floor and the final gun was a welcome bang for the Vikings. It was the first defeat for the Canadian boys, who are now in the Vancouver Intercity league, with five straight wins. Bumstead, of the visitors, was the leading scorer of the battle, tipping' in 12 points while Carver and Reed were chalking up 8 markers apiece for the teachers.

WASHINGTON Friday, August 22, 1930 *~ -* POOR LITTLE "J.S.'A MID-VICTORIAN BATTLE WOMAN'S MAIN INTEREST GOOD-BYE! , —By Catherine Morse - We hate to start this column, for it is our last for this quarter—in fact, it is 'our very last appearance as "Normalette." We have greatly enjoyed our quarter as a feature column, and we want all our readers to know that we appreciate greatly their support and are sorry this is bur last contact. We realize that there are a large number of people who are of- the opinion that we have contributed nothing to the school with our column, and know that if they had been given the chance, they could have written a "Normalette" that was really worth while." "J. S.," who asserted himself in the last isr sue was one of these people. His discussion was interesting enough as far as it went, but instead of generalizing, his remarks were all directed to one little item. And it was so little of him to be so annoyed about the "battle" of "Bottled*' and "Normalette." If the two columns had carried it out to the entire extent of their columns, the point would be well-taken, but as it was, the occasional remark about the rival column only created mutual reader interest. Poor, little "J. S.," don't be jealous of "Bottled" and "Normalette"; maybe sometime you will be able to get something printed outside of a Student Opinion column. Who had to drag up the Victorian question of the "battle of the.sexes"? And did you see all the men who had to get their little say in? So silly: -Why, that .question has been settled long ago, and it really needs no discussion. Both sexes are equally important, for with either, the race would have died out long ago—only mentality, character and adaptability mark superiority, and these characteristics are distributed regardless of sex.

You know, so often in reading current magazines you are able to pick up little thoughts that rather take your eye: and are most adaptable to your own life. Somewhere, we . ran across a little article the other day on people who are always asking for criticism. You know the type. They come up to you and ask you to read an article they wrote or a picture they drew or something similar and give them your ''honest criticism." Usually, you tell them its awfully nice; or something' similar, and send them away beaming; but if you should take them at their word, nine times out of ten. they will have plenty to say in defense of their work and they will be care* ful not to come to you again for "criticism." And that is exactly 'what this article said. "When a man asks :for criticism, he is usually lookr wg^/pn praise." . | . . : :;• We were' playingwith the radio again and just managed to pick up something that we think was plenty : good.

Monday, September 29, the new Freshmen will enroll from 8 until 8:30 o'clock. Sophomore registration, second, and third; quarter freshmen, and upper division students will register between 8.30 and 5 o'clock. From 11 until 11:50 o'clock, a special assembly for all new Freshmen and other new students, will be held. Greetings and announcements will be made by the President of the Normal School- The Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, and the President "of the Students' Association.

Another special assembly; for all new stu- Completing two quarters of pains takingly accurate work, Carl Dun-has placed his glider on Tulip Field: He intends to fly it at the first opportunity. Starting last April on a problem of aviation and the construction of gliders. Mr. Durr gradually worked out and decided to experiment in making a glider. Rudimentary plans were secured from the Modern Mechanics magazine. These were insufficient when it came to the' fine work on the ship and necessitated research and extensive study to perfect it as it now is. It has a wing spread of 37 feet. The total weight of the ship is 200 pounds. Each wing weighs about 54 pounds, has 36 supporting ribs made of spruce, a maximum depth of seven inches and is five feet wide. The framework of the wings is covered with a light cotton cloth, treated with airplane dope to lessen friction, shrink the cloth, and make it airtight. This gives it an aluminum appearance. •:!--;^.,J.v-,;v-:;_v-;--v-- -;• ;".-.-• All visible metal fittings are handmade. Airplane spruce has been used throughout the ship. This gives a maximum amount of strength with, a minimum amount of weight. Six-other different kinds of wood have been used where, spruce was inadequate- Mr. Durr, commenting on the construction of the ship said: "Every effort has been made to conserve weight and give strength. Throughout, I have used on the very best grade of airplane materials." The hold that gliding has taken upon the students is evidenced by the formation of a "club at Lynden. They secured for their use a glider similar to that of Mr. Durr's, at a cost of $450.00. There is a glider under construction at Cheney Normal, the University of Washington, and also at Everett High School. Mr. Ruckmick, in commenting on the job said: "The work has necessitated the working out of problems in aviation which were not explained in the plans. It is accurate enough for airplane work." Mr. Rule said: "It is a masterpiece of exactness." All who have observed the work are unanimous in the opinion that it is a remarkable piece of work." The gliding ratio for this type of ship is 15-L That is for every hundred feet of height attained it "can glide 1,500 feet under normally calm atmospheric conditions. An elastic cord is. .used to; snapthe:glider into the air. The cord is attached to the glider from an automobile which speeds across the field. As soon as the ship gets into the air the cord relaxes, dropping from the glider and a gliding altitude is assumed. Mr. Durr wishes to express his appreciation ;of the help and co-operation tltot he has received from Mr. Ruckmick, Mr. Rule, and. Mr.;Rin-dell, of this school; Herb Buroker and Gus Klundt, of the Sound. Air Transport; and Ray Liridberg, of the Whatcom High School.

The Viking staff members regret that Mr. Herbert Fowler, faculty advisor of the Northwest Viking, will not be with us next year. Mr. Fowler has been the good friend of every member of the staff. He has "been good enough to laugh with the dullest of us in our crude attempts at column humor, and wise enough to guide our debunking feet when we threatened to debunk "not wisely but too well." Through knowing him we have learned that a journalist may be both a gentleman and a scholar, and because of that we have become imbued with a high faith in the profession. He has let us mix work and play so well that our short year | or two on the Viking will remain the most fruitful, as well as the happiest years in our lives. He has fostered such a spirit of comradship that to be a Viking cub reporter is to be a high mogul in a very.proud society. The best wishes of the Viking staff go with you', Mr. Fowler, and we know that when you come back "from New York that you "will be the same good fellow that you have been with us while you have been teaching us the tenets of the journalistic creed. • DOUBLE REC HOUR ' Speaking as the organ of the people, it was pretty decent of the Board of Control to give us an extra dance last night. It was a good dance. As the voice of the people— We Thank You! GOOD FOOTBALL According to Pop Gunn and Sam Carver, interest in fall football is getting warmed up early. We have some fast men coming back, and with some good football material among the unknown, this year should be a winning year. But win, lose or draw, with Pop and Sam doing the coaching, we'll have a dead game, fighting football aggregation that will play clean football all season.

To be a member of the society ,is to have attained a very high standerd of scholarship during several quarters. We would like to see Mr. Bidwell and the other members of the organization make the society the finest club in the school. It has been largely though the good students.who have gone out from the institution that the Normal has come to be known as one of the leading teacher training institutions in the United States. A real interest in scholastic achievement, such as the Scholarship Society stimulates will do much to force the Normal further up the Institutional ladder. GOOD B Y E NORMAL. Next quarter Bob Walters will be the editor of the Northwest Viking. We hope that the staff with which he will work will be as •good as the one which has assisted us during the past two quarters. It lhas been fun, Working with the boys and girls who turn out the school paper. We are sorry that we won't be back to help next year. We wish Mr. James Carrell the best of all possible good luck, and we happen to know that the staff is going to like him. And with that we sign our "thirty." Good Bye Normal!

S. was disgruntled and throught to throw off steam by passing the buck (fight) to two of our best-known columnists. Not having much to say about (shall we say) himself, he proceeded to rewrite both "Bottled by Bond" and "Normalette" in one column. His first paragraph admits both columns have done very little good.

Does it appear junkey to you? Perhaps! My, my, am I talking of the unavoidable! How terrible — how preposterous. This dear, jolly, old publication of scandal, thwarted ink and wasted paper. To think that it subjected to the innocent public! It's amazing, that's all; it's amazing! And we get away with it. How unjust! And such columns—such rubbish! They should be discontinued! It is fortunate that old Voltaire made his statement to. Helvetius. Absolutely! What was his statement? Oh, yes; I remember—"I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it." Thanks, Voltaire, you saved at least two of the columns of this paper. OPPORTUNITY Knocking again, claims Normal-ette in the "Allegory," printed in last week's Viking. The fact that Normqlelte got her gender mixed up does not concern us, but toe do wish to correct the column on -its supposed? "freedom of the press." We sure wish to state at this time that Voltaire had the right idea, but history refused to substantiate his argument. We know a lot of good jokes that we cant print for obvious reasons, according to the editor. We heard, recently, one in particular about a Dutchman that Was pretty good.

The crack baseball team of Edens Hall won the mid-summer championship from such fast teams as El Nido and the Rinkeydinks.

From there":ttiey: 'will Although there seems no great interest, in finding out who is the best loser in the elimination tennis tournament, there has been a great struggle to avoid being eliminated. The first big elimination of the tournament was the match between Jeanette Lang and Elizabeth Gable, in which Lang made a decisive win of 7-5, 6-1. In the next round of matches Jeanette Lang defeated Ar-lene Johanson, 6-4, 6-3, which put her in the semi-finals. The, two who' enjoy playing so much with each other, Edna McKelvey and Bernice Johnson,: again spent two or three afternoons finishing up a match which McKelvey filially won with the sets 6-2, 2-6, 6-1, This match between these two rivals may or may not decide which is the better player. It still is a* disputed question, and depends, ori the individual which side you uphold. Tuesdays McKelvey and Lang took the afternoon off and played the match to finish up the eliminating. After warming up and starting in immediately to play, the reporter on the scene was rather confused and was unable to discern the technical difference between the match play and ordinary • pingpong. Although there were a few close shots on the: back and sidelines, on the whole ;it was not an: i outstanding match.

At present, efforts are being concentrated upon the western part of the field, the tentative' site of the new tennis courts. The power shovel and three dump trucks of Chasteen and' Dorsey, local ~ contractors, are operating at full capacity in' the work of leveling. Continuation of the work upon the major -portion of the field, the eastern part which is •the site for the new football field, is impeded by an extremely"; intricate problem ,61 drainage.' This, among other complications, makes the setting of a definite date for the completion of the entire field impossible. The field is planned to be one of the most attractive in the Northwest. It is to be set hi a site which is almost ideally suited-by nature for its future purpose. It will have separate fields, with ho overlapping; for football and baseball, and-also a group of new tennis courts. The decision upon the site of the new field was made with thought given to the future position of the anticipated physical education building, and also to an idea of harmony in the lay-out of the campus as a whole. Since the afore-mentioned physical education building will occupy part. of the present athletic field, heed for "the new field, will come as soon'as work is started on the building. Accordingly, work has been started early in anticipation of this need. Since only $10,000 have been appropriated for the work thus far, it has been carried on rather slowly. Providing that sufficient funds are left from that amount next spring, it is expected that the tennis courts will be constructed then. o——— Miss AuGrey Zellers, Calss of '27. visited school this week. Miss Zellers attended the University of Southtern California, returning about the first of the year to resume her teaching- at the Normal. the very first round seems to be between Ruth Davis and Betty Taylor, with Davis favored to win.

Jack Black Bares Causes of Crime Former Criminal and Author of "You Cant Win," Relates His Experiences to Attentive Audience In Assembly. That crime is unprofitable, was the theme of the address by Jack Black, to the students in assembly, last Tuesday morning. Mr. Black's knowledge is founded on personal experience in and out of prison. He is the author of "You Can't Win," which has been in the best-seller class. •• :.. Black placed some of the blame for crime. on ^society,, and declared that environment has much to do with criminal tendencies and youthful activities. Hhe criticized the drastic Baume Law, of New York state, holding- that it is too harsh. Th speaker recalled his own criminal days and said that he redemption was due to the efforts of a San Francisco .editor and to the consideration of a judge in that city. It is believed that he referred to Fremont Older, veteran journalist, and Judge Prank H. Dunn. , Black reported that during the San Francisco fire of 1906, evidence connected with one of his escapades was destroyed and that he was held in prison six and one-half years while the authorities tried to re-collect the evidence or enough of it to convict him. He finally escaped, but he was arrested again. It was at this stag ethat the editor pleaded for a light sentence. The court sentenced him to one year in San Quentin.

Bond Says Summer Rec Program Good "The summer recreation provided for the students, was more than usual this past summer quarter," declared Mr. E. A. Bond. "Intramural basketball was the main sport during the first six weeks, while baseball was the outstanding sport during the last six weeks. A school hike was sponsored each week-end of the quarter. •v gt;;f The recreation committee, headed by E. A. Bond, feel that the students have participated in the rec-reation program in a wonderful way this summer. V: Fifty-six students and faculty took the Mount Baker trip; forty went gt;to Hannegan Pass, forty-eight saw Sky Line, thirty-two were at; Twin .Lakes," and"thirty-six placed their feet on Lookout mountain. The largest and what was declared to be the finest photography exhibit to be shown in the Normal school was held this" week by the photography class in the Men's Club room. More than 130 pictures were shown, which is twenty-five more than have appeared in previous exhibits. "I was particularly pleased with the work of the class this quarter," Mr. Herbert Ruckmick, instructor, declared, "because of the enthusiasm with which the class members attacked the problems of photography, and because of the ingenuity and quality of the-work turned out." Various types of photographs were exhibited, most of which were made with small folding and box cameras, and then enlarged. Still life work, landscapes, industrial studies, seascapes, portraits and architectural studies, and other types of photography were shown in the exhibit, which was handled by a committee consisting of Mrs. Martha Ford, Sam Buchanan and Margaret Solum. Among the most outstanding work exhibited were several studies by Mrs. Ford, including an unusually attractive view of the indoor stairs in the Library building, and several portraits taken by Harold Rush by means of a small box camera and a portrait attachment. "The students have shown a very good grasp of composition values," Mr. Ruckmick declared, "And I believe have'gotten a good deal from the course in the appreciation of the beauty around them. Nearly all of the pictures taken were obtained in local settings." "We are going to try to make the Scholarship Society a real goal for students interested in maintaining a high scholastic standing," Victor Bidwell, newly elected president of the Scholarship Society declared after his election last week. "Edith Dyer, who was president of the organization during me past year, has done a great deal to strengthen the club, and we are going to try and continue her work."
