Another quarter's supply of ink is almost exhausted and this is another scribe's farewelL Another picture is added to the rogues' gallery of ex-columnists, and may our successors add humor, dignity, or pathos to the Viking pages. —W.S.N.S.— Abraham Lincoln has been found by psychoanalysts to. have had a Schizoid-manic personality because he is supposed to have liked obscene jokes. This discovery can't hurt his reputation. He was supposed to have been a Republican, too. ANNUAL EXERCISES TO FINISH TH1RIY-SEI FACULTY TO FORM AS ESCORTS FOR LINE OF MARCH OF GRADUATES. Local Orchestra DR. W. D. KHtKPATRICK WILL GIVE DIPLOMAS TO GROUP. —W.S.N.S.— Wouldn't it be interesting at this time of the year to look forward a bit and try to picture the graduates, say forty years from now. How many will still be teaching school? How many will have lost all expression except the "normal expression of a teacher"? Perhaps none of them will be teaching school forty years from now. We hope they wont for civilization's sake, and also their own. Just think how old-fashioned you'll be. —W.S.N.S.— A certain well known faculty member walked into The Viking office the other day .and said it was the messiest place in the school, and that she was ashamed to have any of her pupils come into such a place. If any of the teachers' offices had to serve as work room for twenty-five reporters it would probably be messy, too. —W.S.N.5.— Someone in this school has signed up for a six months school at a salary of $60 a month. Others have taken schools at $75 a month. And people talk about a standard of living. Even at $75 a month for a nine months school how long would it take a person to save enough money to go on to college. There may be hard times in other fields, but grammar grade teaching has degenerated from - a position to a job and almost to slave labor, for society still places strict qualifications, moral especially, on her school teachers. If anyone plans teaching school to make money he had better change his plans quickly. It perhaps is a good way to spend a genteel life of poverty, that is if you hold your job. But still can it even be an honorable profession at less than $75 a month? THE WEEK'S WORRIES Getting ready for final tests . . .

Piling through a lane formed by the faculty the graduates will march down the front walk in, the usual drill formation to music'played by the Normal School orchestra. The invocation will be delivered by the Rev. Dwight C. Smith. The audience will sing "America, the Beautiful," following which the commencement address will be given by Mr. Ben H. Kizer of Spokane, Washington. Two selections, "Red Rose" by Hadley and the Ballet Suite, "Rosa-i munde," by Schubert, will be played by the Normal School Orchestra. President C. H. Fisher will present the class and Dr. W. D. Kirk-patrick, chairman of the board of trustees, will present the diplomas. The delivering of the benediction by the Rev. Dwight C. Smith will close the exercises. In accordance with the traditions of the school, the graduating class will hold its customary rituals-tonight in the auditorium and on the campus at 8 o'clock. Opening the exercises with the singing of the Alma Mater by the class, the procedure will continue as in the past. Charles Dowell, president of the Sophomore class, will present the key and book to the Freshman class. Vernon ^Leatha, vice-president of the Freshmen, will accept the trust in behalf of his class. After the singing of "The White and Blue," the graduating class, led by the Sophomore executive council, will go in a procession to the stone. The placing of the numerals in the storied walk will be done by Charles Dowell. When the "Aspiration" has been given by Louise Oberleitner, the procession will continue to Edens Hall, where a reception will be given in honor of the class. GRADERS GIVE PLAY FANTASTIC DRAMA PRESENTED BY SEVENTH GRADE PUPILS. In their regular training school assembly this morning, the members of the Seventh Grade Drama Club gave an excellent presentation of "The Slippers of Cinderella," a fanr tastic play. All the seventh grade teachers and Mr. Victor H. Hoppe helped in the preparation of the play, which centered around the domestic affairs of an English family who suddenly found themselves no longer wealthy and in need of a means to support themselves. Through the magic aid of a fairy godmother the affairs of the household were put in such a state as to put the family in a panic before they can get back to their normal atmosphere before the long-expected very wealthy aunt of the family arrives. Myra, the eldest daughter in the family, is played by Edith Farlow. Polly and Dolly, the twins, are very well portrayed to the audience by Margaret Boyd and Vivian Clark. Jack Whitmore is Jimmy and Agatha-next-door is played by Lorraine Elliers. Margaret. Jane Bruff plays in the role of Jane, the maid. Betty Burnet is Elise and Jean Wellington is the Fairy Godmother. MORNING ASSEMBLY ANNUAL GLASS DAY PRESIDENT FISHER DISCUSSES - WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY THE CLASS SINCE ENTRY. CUP AWARDED KLIPSUN MAKES GAIN FINANCIAL REPORT S HOW S BOOK TO HAVE SLIGHT EDGE. ENROLLMENT OPENS SATURDAY. JUNE 13 ADVANCED COURSES OFFERED IN SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS. ELEVEN ARE PLACED APPOINTMENTS TO TEACHING POSITIONS ARE ANNOUNCED. Registration for the Summer quarter will be held all day Saturday, June 13. Classes will begin the following Monday at 8 a. m. Registration for the coming" quarter will be closed after the first-week of the opening of/the Summer session. Courses i offered are practically identical with those given in previous quarters with the exception that several special courses are offered to meet the needs of the advanced students. Many of the courses are offered for the first half of the quarter, and some for the second half to accommodate students who wish to enroll for shorter terms. Activity Fee Raised To counteract the recent budget cut, the student activity fee will be raised to eight dollars and the library, health and paper fee raised to three dollars, besides the regular course fees and laboratory fees. Several new courses will be offered. Three new Home Economics courses will be taught by Miss Frances Wiley. They are Home Economics 101, Foods and Cookery, a five credit course for students preparing to teach Home Economics. Home Economics 105 is a three As a fitting beginning to the annual Class Day activities, the regular Class Day assembly was held this morning at 11 o'clock in the auditorium. The presenting of the Freshman Cup by Charles Dowell to an outstanding Freshman student started the program. Vocal Solo Given It was followed by a vocal solo by Charlotte Glinesky, accompanied by Aileen Hurlbert. Miss Glinesky sang the charming little number called "Piper June," by Molly Carew. Under the direction of Miss Mildred Jewell of the Physical Education department, the graceful flowing "Valse" was performed by a group of students in the Natural Dancing class. Lois Hesseltine, Virginia Howell, Edythe Koski, Mary McDonald, Evelyn Montgomery, and Wilma Neeley interpreted the rhythm with a subtle grace. Farce Produced With his usual masterly technique and interpretation, Jack Schafer played the "Staccato Caprice" by Max Vogrich. gt; Presented by the Play Production class under the direction of Frances Benson, the amusing farce, "Lov» Is Like That," by Ryerson and Clemens, was a light touch which pleased the students. Frances Wilmarth, Effie Deighton, and Isabel Jenne were starred in the production. President Fisher Speaks As an appropriate climax to the assembly, President C. H. Fisher addressed the students with an inspiring discussion upon the work done by the graduating class. The main business at the -final meeting of the quarter of the Board of Control last night consisted of some back business and bits of rour tine work. Masters, Ruckmick, and O'Donnell were not in attendance. Klipsun Ahead Three of the items dealt with the recent publication of the Klipsun. Suzanne Waters was voted the salary due her for a year's work, which amounted to $100. David Morse reported that financially the book was successful and came out a few dollars ahead. His report was accepted and the Board also awarded him his official VW" pin for work as business manager of the book. Reports were given on the recent Men's Club Vodvil show, and Skot-heim's report on the "Pass Issuance," which wasv held over from the last meeting, was read and accepted. It supplants present Rec hour rules and divides them into clearer points, as well as providing for the carrying out of these. Mixer Planned It was announced that the Board will handle a mixer, to be held at the start of the summer quarter, with the date to be set later. o FOUR OTHER STUDENTS HAVE HIGH AVERAGES; GENERAL LEVEL GOOD. First Winner 130 GRADE POINTS AGGREGATED IN TWO QUARTERS. NICHE IN LIBRARY IN HONOR OF MISS EDENS PLANNED BY SPIESEKE FISHER ADDRESSES ALUMNI GATHERING STRESSES FUTURE GROWTH OF NORMAL AT ANNUAL EVENT. Pointing out some of the problems that the officials of the school have had to meet during the past year and following through with Wilfred Gunderson, modest, red* headed, studious Freshman youth, stepped forward in assembly this morning, his freckled face beaming happily as he heard the sentence: "First winner of the newly established Freshman Scholastic Cup." Four classmates of Gunderson's received honorable mention. In each case their scholastic standing was said to be unusually high. Four Get Mention These four are Paul Williams, president of the class, son of Professor Pelagius Williams and Whatcom high graduate; Dorothy Top, who hails from Everson, a Whatcom county town; Nellie Cox, another local student who completed her high school studies at Whatcom high; and Enid Rasmus, who is an put of the state resident, and who graduated from Astoria, Oregon, high school last spring. Gunderson's record is one of un-' usual high grades, and figured on the basis of the grade point system amounts to 130 points for the Fall and Winteii quarters studies. His Spring quarter work is on an approximately equal standard, and his grades have been given to the awards ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 June 10 - Page 2 ---------- _Publi«hed evtery Friday except during the month of September, by the Aasnciated Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingha». r - •" i5Se*^fdtkb £t tfMaS 3. a 1 t«7?e,lin8harn* Washin«?t lt;?ri' as s ^ « lt;*W ?»Wr by Printed by the Miller Sutherlen Printing Company, Bellingham National Bank Bldg.

This week, which marks the final issue of the spring quarter, finds The Viking down to six columns. Things are slack, news is hard to get, students are busy with exams, and the paper is appearing three days ahead of schedule to catch the Freshmen before they leave for home. Or maybe it is coming out short columned on account of the fact that the warm weather has rushed the summer season to a certain extent. (These facts ar^ published through the courtesy and cooperation of Mr. L. A. Kibbe, of the faculty, who is the proud owner of every annual published by this school, with the exception of that of 1901. Mr. Kibbe would be very interested in tracing the whereabouts of this one edition.) WE ADVISE, TEN There are over two hundred students finishing up this quarter tomorrow with the certified right to go out and accept jobs to teach youngsters in grade schools. They have had a taste of this work already in their practice teaching and yet there will be problems that will have to be met face to face, placing a responsibility on these people when they receive that diploma tomorrow morning. There are those that have proved themselves fully qualified to go out and take their first school, or school room, as it may be. Others do not appear quite as ready for the task as some of their fellow students, while still others, though we are not authorities on actual teaching fitness, are probably incapable of standing any strong headwinds in their flimsy built crafts. We do not draw our blunt cross-grain of this class, any class for that matter, for they are all divided between the excellent and the poor, by their actual ability to get grades or not to get them, but considerably on their faculties to harmonize with colleagues, strangers, enemies, or varied and new matters that present themselves daily. We are not throwing out innuendoes, nor attempting to "rub" any of those that we have so generally classed in the above part of the article, nor are we thinking of any one person. We do feel that we have a bit of advice that all will agree is logical and a bit that many can well afford to look themselves over carefully for and then inject it into the system if lacking, and if there to still bring in to bear weight—COUNT TO TEN BEFORE ACTING. Few phrases are more widely known, few simpler, few more logical, few more laughed at, and few better for the student starting out of this institution to teach for the first time. That division that includes those well qualified for teaching according to high scholastic marks will include one or two that will encounter trouble by failing to count off those digits and then to use the "Ol' bean next." It will apply to any other of the individual gradings we have slightly outlined here. Don't forget that there will be that student banked upon to make an absolute failure of his first year's work, that will get down and take himself seriously enough to use his energies intelligently and will do a real good job. We sincerely hope that all those graduating tomorrow will be able to land positions before the school year starts next fall. . It is a calamity for them to spend two years or more in preparing themselves for such work and then be unable to get employment. Many have borrowed money that must be paid back and have gone through all that study with the hopes and worries connected with the necessity of getting work. Times are hard, competition strong, nothing can be done to alter the layout at the present, but we can all hope for the better and not 'become too pessimistic and lay down our endeavors as hopeless. We have attempted to serve all under this regime of the paper during the past three quarters with a sheet that is a worthy organ of the school and one that has the best standards obtainable for the situation to be met with each issue. We have made friends and enemies—we expect that in the position we are in. We have listened—sometimes not patiently— to harsh and destructive criticisms, and we have been pleased and honored with handshakes for attributed good work. Modesty is nice, but "he who tooteth not his own horn the same thereof shall not be tooted." Consequently we are not committing error in our own minds by informing the students and faculty that we think we have given them a paper that is worthy of the place accorded in the school. We brought the school a first place from a national paper judging contest that had widespread competition, open to any. We have brought it news never given to the students previously until the following week. We have kept it to many high levels in departments that have been set for us by our predecessors. We have erred several times and have been willing to admit it and do everything in our power to smooth things over so that no harm would come to the school or the individual from it, while we also feel that we have received several knocks and slams entirely unjust and not due us. Through it all we have enjoyed ourselves and feel that the ultimate result is many friends worth having, and we wish to thank all those that have co-operated with us—impossible to do it alone. We hate to see many of the traditions started with the forming of the present graduating class into a freshman class, shattered, so we hand out our goodbye and best wishes now and don't forget—COUNT TO TEN AND THEN USE "THE OL' BEAN." We read where a California judge rules that anyone seeing liquor in a friend's house and failing to report it, is likewise a, law-breaker. Whether the situation is on the prohibition question or not, it will be a hard world to(get along in if everyone is ?fcutting the throat" of his neighbor.;: Revenge will reign supreme.^ ;-.-=^-..- ^?/V.': Would it hot be fascinating to go back thirty-one and a half years ago and witness, the formal opening of this State Normal school? Were You There? Taken from "The Normal Messenger," Fall quarter number of December, 1899, is the following excerpt: "The formal opening reception of the Normal school was held on the evening of October 28. The board of trustees, the faculty and the students received their invited guests, who included the citizens of New Whatcom and all those interested in the building, which was elaborately decorated for the occasion. Among the distinguished guests who were present were Governor and Mrs. John R. Rogers and State Superintendent of Schools Frank J. Browne. A short informal program was presented and refreshments were served in three of the recitation rooms." "She Liked It" From the sublime upward we find notes concerning every form of student and faculty activity, headed by "Truth and Love, the Watchword of the Teacher," an article by the first English instructor, Jane Con-nell. A note from the gay old nineties (this time in the advertising columns) showing that times have changed, but not enough to eliminate those dear old advertising columns: "Bicyclers, Take Note!" "Sarah came into our store, Ordered soda—liked i t - Drank it up and had some more And then went out and biked it. Engberg's Pharmacy, Fairhaven, Wash."

Against the San Francisco .Seals last Saturday, Gaw, in his first trip to the plate, cracked put a home run on the first ball pitched. George Pocock, famous builder of racing shells, who has had his headquarters in the Washington crew house for many years, will have special interest in the regatta on the Hudson this spring. Pocock fashioned seven of the nine shells that will carry the nation's leading crews in the yearly classic. Lake Washington, on June 16 will be the scene of one of the most novel crew races ever seen on the Pacific coast. The crews are called the light weight oarsmen and average about 150 pounds. A newly formed crew from the Husky realm and Don Grant's famous lightweight crew from Yale will tangle for honors. The weight of each crew is not to exceed 1,200 pounds. Gordon Broadbent, a Viking two-year letterman in tennis, was seen roaming about the campus Monday. Gordon was a star on the courts about five or six years ago. gt; It seems to be pretty hard for Norman Bright to leave his old stamping grounds, i. e., the Normal track. In his tapering off work he seems to be putting as much conscientious effort into it as when he Was driving for his record mile two Weeks ago. In a true spirit of something or other, Mr. Sam Ford offered the Co-op baseballers a free candy bar if they downed the Krew. Needless to say, they did. Bronzed athletes of the University of Southern California swept into the National Collegiate Athletic Association track and jfield championship last Saturday with a record smashing total of 77 1-7 points. The Trojans won overwhelmingly. / Their nearest rivaly Ohio State, scored 31 points. Talbot Hartley, U. of W., placed fifth in the 440-yard dash which was won by Williams of U. S. C. Eddie Cenung, defending half-mile champ from Washington, placed third in his event, which was ywon by Dale of the University of Chicago in a thrilling 1:53.5 race. Cenung was but two or three strides behind. College studies suffer more from students dancing than from athletics, says Dr. W. Hamilton Fyfe, principal of Queen's University. Dr. Fyfe admits, however, that "it would be a waste of words to deplore at length the excessive demands of dancing upon the time of some students." Athletic students are .better students than those who spend their spare time dancing, he declares. Seems as though our athletes about school are getting as much of a workout affixing their John Henrys to the new Klipsuns as they would if they were turning out under the coaches. In closing this column for the last issue of this quarter we think it would be entirely fitting-to make a brief survey of the past three quarter's athletic ventures. —o— Last autumn Coach Carver's gridiron men, playing extraordinarily strong teams, did not fare quite so good as far as wins were concerned. They downed the U. S. Coast Guard, Centralia Junior College, and tied a strong College of Puget Sound machine. They dropped games to Cheney, Ellensburg, Oregon State Normal and St. Mar-r tins.

GISSBERG PITCHER Surprising even their most ardent supporters, the dope-upsetting Co-op baseball "ten" won the spring quarter intramural baseball championship by dropping the Kitchen Krew 14-2, Monday evening, in as fast a game as has been played this season. By virtue of this win the Bookstore squad rests on top of the tattered heap which represents the downtrodden and defeated Kitchen Krew, Reynolds Hall, and Fire Hall.. The Co-ops have not played spectacular ball this season but certainly possessed the necessary punch when the pinches came, and we might say that these so-called "pinches" didn't come very often, as the Co-ops usually had enough lead to coast along. Gissberg Pitches The Co-op pennant wnners entered the season play-off with the Krew and Reynolds as the decided underdogs, with the Krew favored to wade through the opposition with little trouble. Rollie Gissberg has been the outstanding moundsman of the series. He was borrowed by the Reynolds Tong and set the Krew down with a 7-6 defeat. This win "deadlocked the three teams for the pennant. Then going back to his own roost, Gissberg twirled his team to an 18-4 victory over the Reynolds team to give he and his mates the second half championship. Then tangling with Skotheim for the third time in the series game, Gissberg again came off- with top honors with a 14-2 win and the season pennant. Needless to say, he was given outstanding support by his teammates. The winners started their part of the game off with a bang, scoring two markers in the first inning. They scored again in the fourth and saw the Krew push across their first marker in the fifth. In the fifth the Co-ops found Skotheim's offerings and before the barrage of hits had ceased they had pushed across four runs. The Krew attempted a rally but succeeded in rolling in only a single man in the sixth. The Co-ops started on the Krew offerings in the sixth where they had left off in the fifth. But this time, before the smoke of battle had swept across the field, the Co-ops had swept across the plate for six runs. Then as a good chaser, the winners broke into the scoring column for a single digit in the final inning. The dust, wind and sun handicapped the players and as a result a few errors were made. The Krew were the greatest offenders and let in several runs via the blunder route. E. Leatha had a perfect day at the plate for the winners, with four bingles in as many attempts. He was followed by Gissberg, who cracked out three hits and as many runs. Davis, Osborne and Stude-baker led the percentage column for the losers with two hits each. This game ended intramural activities for the Spring quarter. More teams will probably be organized during the summer session. o SERVICESJRE HELD REV. JAMES WILSON DELIVERS BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS. Last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock the baccalaureate services were held for the Normal graduating class of 1931 in the Normal auditorium. Wilson's Sermon The Rev. James M. Wilson, of St. James' Presbyterian church of Bel lingham, delivered the sermon to a large and interested audience. Prances Maurer sang a solo, "O Rest in- the Lord," by Mendelssohn. , The reverend's theme was "Research and Reverence for' Science and Religion." ? Truth, said the minister, is to be found in both these fields, and the truly scientific man is religious. Mr. Wilson \ said that the search for truth leads to God. One is not dependent upon finding God in natural things, the minister held, but may find Him within hisown personality^ The nigh-est;. expressibn of ;Gpd is :m 'the. per-; s6n£iii^;oX;-:^s^ *-';^ BelfefFuled Ladder tournaments in golf, hand* ball, horseshoes, tennis, basketball, and baseball are the men's sports planned for the Summer quarter.; Under the supervision of Howard (Dutch) Wilder the first half of the quarter will be taken up with intramural' basketball. There will be four or five teams in the league. If competition is as keen as preceding summer sessions, all men turning out fortius sport will see real action, j The climax will be two games with;jthe University of Washington summer squad. One. game will be played on the local floor and the other in Seattle. R.: E. (Pop) Gunn will have chargeof the last five weeks of the quarter. Intramural baseball will take the lead. Plans are being formulated for the organization of teams which will participate in league races. A heavy schedule of games is being planned. It is undecided at the present time whether the hard or soft ball will be used. The soft ball seems to be the most desirable. The decision probably will be left up to the players. Some of the old timers such as Tiny Blankenship, Zeke McCurken, Johnny Kure, Boltun, Granny Thor-lakson, Oscar Thorsen, Leaden, H. McCleery, J. McCleery, Iverson, and Skotheim will be out fighting for places on the different teams. o Heavy Schedule of Sports Planned for Girls This Summer A most interesting and varied sports program is being planned by the Women's Physical Education Department for summer school students. The major activities will be archery, baseball, and tennis, coached by Miss Genther and Miss Jewell. Turnouts will begin soon after the quarter opens, and managers will be chosen by the teams themselves at an early turnout. •'-•'•• Schedule Adjusted The schedule of sports is adjusted to the summer recreation program, which sponsors weekly hikes on Wednesday afternoons, and turnout nights for the major sports are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Every Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock there will be group turnouts in baseball, and at these times both the men and women of the school will participate. Tournaments for these sports will be held, and there may be a horseshoe tournament also, depending upon the number who are interested. Miss Genther is taking Miss Horton's place as swimming instructor and she is planning various swimming activities. A large number of W. A. A. members are returning to school, and with their help this summer's sports program should be an exceedingly good one. o TEACHERS SELECTED FOR SUMMER SESSION (Continued from Page One) R. E. Gunn from the Normal will be the instructor in Physical Education for Men. Miss Jennie Waugh, who will instruct in Speech, has an A. B., Tarkio College, Missouri; A. M., Northwestern University, and has been instructor in Speech at Hastings College, Nebraska. Miss Frances Wiley, who has been instructor in Home Economics at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will teach in the Home Economics department. Wells From Oregon Earl W.

And what will we wear? Never before have pajamas been so popular as this summer, and heres an idea we saw the other day. What could be more clever tharl a "3 in 1" outfit, which combines a house frock, gym shorts^ and beach pajamas. Minus the . skirt you have a charming oner-piece gym or clogging suit (everyone's clogging nowadays), button on a skirt at the waist for a dress, or fasten on two skirt sections at the bottom of the shorts for floppy legged pajamas. When yon get the necessary coat of tan (quite painlessly if you use a sunburn cream), you may adopt the bizarre Algerian colors—and white—for these are the most popular for summer. Exotic hues of red, green, yellow, purple, and blue clash with amazingly good taste in most charming materials. Pajamas are of hardly, rough materials— jerseys, linens and rajahs are practically the entire list tolerated by fashion. Large floppy beach hats are picturesquely showing up on the beach, and also quite the best looking beach shoes we've seen. Sandals are made without toes, straps hold them hi place, and the fabric is gay flowered and striped canvas and" kidskin. And since the necessity of Wearing bathing suits is impressed on us by officials, our attention turns to their looks. Two-piece suits are favored by many, and also the Lido suits with straps to allow for sun tan, are as popular as last summer. White suits are a pleasing contrast with an olive complexion. Bernice Anderson wears a summery looking suit of rose colored silk trimmed with stitched bands which is extremely good looking. And Eileen Finley has a new creation in the way of hats, which she assures us is taking the place of the beret in Paris. It is a sort of a boucle with a jtwisted banc^' round the tight fitting crown, and makes a very chic appearance. o HUNT AND REPORTERS REPLY TO COLUMNIST (Continued from Page One) On Thursday evening, June 4, the Vanadis Bragi held its last meeting of the quarter.

FISHER SPEAKS £\:£. ^ - ^ M ^ B A N Q I J ET (Continued from Page One) much in praise of pur -board of trustees. These men behind the scenes met our emergency situation in a magnificent way. Had the board of trustees been made up of men of less vision and understanding we might have a different story to tell. According to the outcome Of our difficulties there has been pre^ served everything that is significant and that is essential. Both students and faculty have responded to the demands of the situation with a wonderful spirit," the President stated. Some changes were necessary to assure the operation, of the school under such a financial handicap, President Fisher pointed out, but he expressed his gratitude to every member of the faculty for their co-operation. President Fisher told the Alumni that a junior high training school to accommodate about 150 students was greatly needed at the Normal so that teachers may prepare themselves for that division of the profession. Teachers Co-operate Although the cutting of salaries was necessary because of the reduction in the budget, not a teacher in the school resigned or refused to sign a- contract for the coming year because of reduced salaries. A welcome was extended to the Alumni. The spirit of the school was lauded and President Fisher said the Normal was a school to be proud of by all graduates. Stress was laid upon the requirements for teaching which have been raised from the three months of a few years ago to three years beginning next fall. He briefly described the first class of 1900, composed of eight women, as compared with the present year, when about 220 will be graduated. The school has graduated about 6,500 students since 1900, he said. Herbert Hansen, of Seattle, a graduate of 1921, was elected president of the Alumni Association for the next year. Hansen succeeded Kenneth Selby, also of Seattle. Selby was not present at the banquet. Lyle Summers was chosen vice-president to succeed Albert Booman, of Lynden. Booman acted as chairman at the banquet. Georgia Gragg was re-elected secretary-treasurer. A fund will be established by the Alumni to purchase books for the library. The fund will be a memorial to the late Olive Edens, it was said. Diplomas Presented Dr. Fisher presented 275 life diplomas to those completing the necessary requirements. He said, that teachers found it morel, difficult each year to qualify for the diplomas. The requirements are made strict to improve the educational system, he said. Washington state should be proud of the high standard that class room teaching has attained, President Fisher said. Representatives from a number of former graduating classes were called upon for brief talks. Miss Emma Whitworth was a representative of the oldest graduating class of the school. She belongs to the class of 1901. Others heard in talks were Mrs. Ethel Birney Laube, 1906; Herbert Hansen, 1921; George Abbey, 1926, and Miss Mary McDonald, 1931. Miss Frances Maurer was heard in vocal solos. Albert Booman called the roll of all classes. The entire body joined in singing school songs. Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick, chairman of the board of trustees, was scheduled to talk, but was called away early in the evening. Program Song Alma Mater Presentation of Life Diplomas President C. H.

Dr. Hicks thinks Bellingham, and Sehome hill in particular, make an ideal setting for a school. He is more than laudatory about the library, which he regards as a model of efficiency and beauty. The building and organization are similar to that at Stanford, with which he is familiar. In Charge of Three Courses The courses which he teaches this quarter are freshman English, studies in English language and American literature. English I is an orientation course in literature, and the students are now engaged in reading Homer's Odyssey. Studies in English language is a comprehensive survey of the language, including historical background, derivation of words, principles of grammar and problems encountered in teaching it. One of the most interesting subjects the English department offers this year is American literature, a gen-ral vista of American literary achievement. Study of Jonathan Edwards, colonial sage, introduces the student to this great field, and survey pf the contemporary scene closes the course. Although he has had little op- .portunity to get acquainted yet, Dr. Hicks anticipates a pleasant year, having found the students to be willing, intelligent arid co-operative. The latter will find in him a keen thinker ready to advise them in English problems. Lecturing on the famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns, Mr. William Dunlop, P. R. G. S., eminent lecturer of Vancouver, B. C, will be the feature of Tuesday's assembly. Mr. Dunlop is a Scotsman by birth and has spent much of his life in traveling the globe. He has spent twenty years in South Africa and the same length of time in Canada, touring and lecturing. In addition to his experience in the Pacific northwest, Mr. Dunlop has lectured before the Scottish society in England, and to the Shakespeare society, the Burns fellowship, and various open audiences throughout the world. He is said to have an excellent, resonant speaking voice and is also a singer of ability, often illustrating his interesting lectures with songs and dramatic readings. The life and works of Robert Burns will be the subject of Mr. Dunlop's address at this assembly. The talk will be illustrated with various slides. Mr. Dunlop is considered an authority on the subject of the late Scottish poet. o Weythman Speaks About World Trip To IRC. Club ^ r n e t Is Elected President of the International Relations Organization Class Will Form With New Text "An Introduction to Western Civilization" Will Be New Material Students this quarter are facing a reorganization of the course in History of Civilization. A new text, "An introduction to Western Civilization," will be used as part of the material for the organized course. The book is edited by Professor George A. Hedger, who has been assisted by economists, political sci-ents, psychologists, and educators. "This is the best book ever used in this department," says Miss Nora Cummins, "anii emphasis is to be placed on History of Agriculture and Industry." *fr Bushell Issues Call To School Players Do you play an instrument? That is the big question. Mr. D. Bushell ' of the Music department, invites all Normal school students who play musical instruments, especially violin, to see him as soon as possible in the music office concerning the orchestra.

Knapman urged all members of the society to attend as this is to be one of the most important meetings this quarter. Officers for the club will be elect-and general plans for the coming year discussed. Arrangements for the quarterly banquet and initiation will be planned at the meeting. ——r—o — Registration at U Above Expectation Registration at the University of Washington in theMast week has far surpassed the expectations of enrollment. Hopes for reaching the 7400 mark were high as 6309 had been registered early in the week. A fee drop from $15 to $10 and relaxed entrance requirements were the outstanding reasons for the Increased enrollment.

Girls Make Plans Playhouse Is Meeting Place for Bine Triangle Girls; Work in View The Blue Triangle club met at the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday evening, October 4. Through the co-operation of Miss Rich and the Campus school, the club obtained the use of the playhouse in back of the school for a meeting place. The playhouse was originally built for the second grade by the junior high pupils of the Campus school, but was never finished in the interior. The club will finish painting the interior and furnish it. Mr. Ruck-mick and his classes will also assist. Officers for this year were elected at the last meeting and are as follows: President, Molly Pearl; vice president, Henny Lund; I. C. C. representative, Theona Flick; secretary-treasurer, Marie de Gollier. The theme for the programs for the quarter is, "Interracial Understanding and Appreciation". Informal discussion will be held on that subject, led by various members of the club. "Negroes" will be the subject for the next meeting. The discussion will be led by Marie de Gollier. o — Gallanger Is Elected President of W Club In Meeting Tuesday Officers Are Left Vacant by Many Students Who Leave Town Bert Gallanger was elected president of the W club at a special meeting held last Tuesday after school. Other officers elected were: Walter Sinko, vice president; and Alois Charlesworth, secretary-treasurer. " \ • The election was made necessary because officers who were elected last year are attending other schools. Those who were to have taken office this -fall were: Truman Berg, president; George Nolte, vice president; John Stiger, secretary-treasurer. 0 —- I. C. C. Holds First Meeting of Term At the first meeting of the Inter-club Council, held on Wednesday, September 27, under the leadership of its president, Victor Dickinson, They discussed club work and made several important decisions. Through the advice of the Board of control, the clubs will sponsor the Rec Hours, as was done last year* An officerss' training school will be held under the supervision of V. H. Hoppe of the Speech department. A committee was appointed consisting of Lila Welder, and Sara Jamieson to consider application of meeting dates and social affairs during the fall quarter. ! October 15 was set. as the deadline for the clubs to elect representatives to the cbuncU.' All representatives will serve for three quarters, instead of «ne quarter as was done in the past- -V: ^ lt;^rrf: New Policy Instituted New Library Policy Inaugurated to Minimize Students' Difficulties "The keynote of our policy is to minimize as much as possible the difficulties facing the student hi the use of this library," said Miss Mabel Wilson, head librarian, in an inter view for the benfit of new students. To the student just entering a university or college • the libraries with their vast resources are ex tremely bewildering. Out of so much material it is difficult to pick a particular volume or article and this school is fortunate in having a librarian who from her own exper ience in the complexities of large libraries has been able to quite a degree, to do away with them here. Miss, Wilson further stated that teachers college courses are highly specialized and in order to co-op erat to the fullest extent the library has gathered in the general reading room all material related to the curriculum. This material has been classified in the card index located in the main hall. A catalogue list ing all current articles is maintained and indicates which of these articles are obtainable in the library's maga zine section, where the best publications may be found. The library staff will gladly supply pamphlets to thos not familiar with the median ids of the index and catalogue. Four New Buildings On 'U'fcCampus Soon Half Million Dollar Program Begun by Board Launching a million and a half dollar building program for the University campus this year, the board of regents with the state relief commission are making available to the University $1,400,000 for the erection of four new buildings with construction scheduled to start in the immediate future. A new fire-proof infirmary and a new dormitory for the women along with a hew wing for the library and an addition to the power plant are the projects included. Fifteen Amateurs Report To Class Fifteen aspiring amateurs assembled after registration in the JViking hang-out to .gather tid-bits for the .weekly criterion. Fairhaven high brought forth five young hopefuls, while Whatcom added two more to the list. Others hailed from as far south as Southern Oregon, and as far north as Lyn-den, Washington.

The advisability of attempting to publish a Klipsun for the year 1933-34 was discussed at great length by the Board of Control last spring quarter. At that time the Board decided to forgoe further clucking over the matter, and to refer it to a popular vote this fall. Last year each student paid one dollar per quarter to the Associated Students, which sum was set aside as subscription fee for the annual. Each student, during the year, paid three dollars for his yearbook. Three dollars is a pre-depression price for an annual. Many find it difficult to meet even the small cost of registration here. One dollar reduction in fees would mean much. Yet most men and women in, this school would sacrifice something more immediately and more materially important in order to have some permanent record of the good times of the school year. The cost to the students of the publication can be greatly reduced by publishing advertisements in it, charging each student only his part of the total remainder over the receipts .from the sale of these advertisements. This would benefit the students by reducing the cost to him; the business manager, by enabling him to receive a percentage of the receipts; the printers, who will be publishing a larger book, the advertisers, who will receive the publicity due them in the book; and the administration, which will be publicized by the copy of the Klipsun lying on each advertiser's showcase. ; The plan would be beneficial to everyone concerned. There is no reason why it cannot be instated. o INCORPORATION POSSIBILITIES The following is a list of some of the things which the incorporation of the Associated Students will make possible: The administration of the funds of the Associated Students by its officers. Independent borrowing, lending and investment of funds by the Association. 3. Purchase, lease, or mortgage of real property by the Association. 4. Exclusive control of Normalstad by the Board of Control. 5. Exclusive management of the Northwest Viking by the Board. 6. The existence of a fund, the property of the Associated Students, which is in no way identified -with state funds. Whether the Board of Control can manage these affairs and responsibilities remains yet to be seen. Nevertheless, the willingness and courage to try are to student president, John Christy's, credit. 1 -.2. ....In September we look back.on the lazy warm summer months with somewhat of a smiler—prj sometimes actually a lusty chuckle—or, if sentimentally inclined, perhaps a sigh or two—or more.

Bookman suggests that with plot by Stevenson, characters by Dickens and Conrad, spiritual atmosphere courtesy of George Gissirig, the book is an insoluble mystery. I have wondered for some time how Priestly "got away with it". His plots are the hackneyed old stuff, rejuvenated and embellished with Thackeray and Dickenesque characters. In "Human Being," Christopher Morley erects a monument to the forgotten man, Richard Roe, who always gets the worst of it in deals with John Doe. The main happenings in thirty years of Richard's life are there, during which time he was travelling salesman for a publishing house; married his jealous and shallow wife, Lucille; met Minnie Hutz-ler; went into the stationery accessories business; and dropped dead at a most opportune moment. Morley shows how well he understands human nature when'he tracks Richard through his peregrinations, doing his trailing with finesse and real understanding.

Just finished "Street of Sandal-makers" by Nis Peterson. It left a very disagreeable taste in my mouth. Seemed that the author rather blunderingly copied the style of John Erskine, that gentleman who has the temerity to deburik classical heroes. Petersen's manner is not exactly that of the iconoclast, but he modernizes the language of Marcus and the other noble Romans, to render it recognizable to moronic readers. Anachronisms well done make good reading, but "Street of Sandalmak-ers" does not impress the reader with its quality. ^o • University of Minnesota co-eds are liable to a fine of $40 or a jail sentence of six days if they are captured wearing a fraternity pin.

Wednesday evening the drawing for golf positions was held. As only eight men had signed up by Monday night, Carver sent a call out for all men who had the ability to swing clubs and had three more men signed by Wednesday. Those signed up include Bob Lindsley, Bun Miles, Hugh Lovegren, Jack Clark, Bob Hartley, By Moser, Gordon Richardson, James Pendleton, Jim Mo-scrip, James Ahern, and Dan Van Doren. The tennis tournament got under way Tuesday with twelve men fighting i t out for the school championship. Bill Hussey, the tournament favorite, defeated his old high school rival, "Chuck" Livesey, in a match that extended three sets. Shenen-berger and Myers were also winners, eliminating Moscrip and Waters, respectively. A team that call themselves the Independents were victorious over the Northwest Vikings in the first volleyball game. Last evening the Frosh took on the Alley Cats. A split season- of six games each will be played in volleyball, with the first half ending October 16. Independents Win Volleyball Game From Viking Team News Reporters Lose First Game of Intramural Season by 2 to 1 Score The Independents got a ump on the other volleyball teams last Tuesday when they got into the win column by defeating the Vikings in two out of three games. The Independents took the first game in an uphill battle and after losing the second to the scrappy reporters took the third and final game by a wide margin. Zoet, Van-der Griend and Divird stood out for the winners, with Stone and Lindsley looking fair for the Vikings. Passing Attack Poor Neither team had a very polished passing attack. The courts weren't long enough for the newswriters and this helped to account for 'their downfall. Last evening the Alley Cats took on the Frosh. The remainder of the schedule is as follows: Oct. 9—Independents vs. Cats. Oct. 10—Vikings vs. Frosh. Oct. 12—Independent vs. Frosh. Oct. 16—Vikings vs. Cats. Oct. 17—Independent vs. Vikings. Oct. 18—Alley Cats vs. Frosh. Oct. 23—Independents vs. Cats. Oct. 24—Vikings Vs. Frosh. Oct. 28—Independents vs. Frosh. Oct. 30—Vikings vs. Cats. Viking Halfback Relates History Walt Sinko is to Play Last Year of College Football Here This Season Walt Sinko East born but West bred—that's Walt Sinko, Viking stellar halfback, who this season will represent Bel-lingham in his last year of college footbal. The Polish "Mercury" was born in Minnesota in 1910 but came West before he was a year old. His football career began when he turned out for freshman high school football at Raymond, Wash. He became a regular the next year and was voted a berth on the all-Sbuth-west conference first team in his senior year. St. Martin's had first chance to use him on a college team, but in 1930 after three semesters at Lacey he cam here. Walt thinks the tri-normal this year is practically a toss-up. He believes the Vikings might take the Frosh, but the other non-conference teams look plenty tough. Wo men s Sports W. A. A.

Though more girls signed up for those three sports than put in an appearance at the first practice, the advisers and sports managers expect more to report before next week. Last Monday afternoon in the big gym, Miss Jewell, volleyball adviser, looked over the prospects for the coming intramurals and above the din of jumping feet gave the girls a little preliminary drill. Note: Some of the freshmen turnouts appeared in quite fetching plaid gym suits in the autumnal shades! Much talent from previous years was displayed in the hockey turnout on Tuesday, with a group including five girls who played on the Sophomore hockey team last year. This group does not include, however, Lorraine Shepherd, who was an outstanding hockey center during her year's attendance at this school, but- who is now teaching in Walla Walla. An., exchange., paper., from., the Charleston, Illinois, Teachers college bears the interesting item of what would appear to be a deviation from the usual W. A. A. activities, as we are familiar with them. Women's sports there sponsor not only hiking, tennis, and archery, but rifling, track, and social dancing as welL Soccer called put as many, if not more, enthusiastic turn-outs as did volleyball, but yet more are solicited by Miss Weythman, adviser, and Maude Campbell, manager. Though the group has the advantage of including two all-star player^ June McLeod and Marie de'Gollierr there is still a lack of quantity felt. /Fd^ a Utile preliminary technique a i ^ t n order:• to itest the ability of the,. aspirants, an hour of drill .••'in, dr|bbling and passing was conducted by Miss Weythman. Women's Athletic Association Holds Formal Initiation Taking Pledge and Social Tea Highlights of Ceremony Held at Hall Formal initiation, followed by a social tea, was held Thursday after noon by the Women's Athletic association in the blue room of the Edens hall for about twenty-five new members. In candlelight to the strains of the initiation song the candidates walked slowly into the circle of members. Each prospect was led forward by an .old member to take the pledge and sign the club scroll. This scroll was started last year when formal initiations first replaced the rough house ones formerly held. The club initiation song was sung, accompanied by Lillian Mar-salais at the piano. Lottie Stevenson, chairman of the .affair, assisted by her committee, served tea to the group. As a finale for the initiation the girls gathered around the fireplace and sang. Those initiated include: Hazel Swisher, Mary Thompson, Marye Louise Harrison, Leona Trager, Jo sephine Grassmeyer, Maxine Iddins, Mildred Stoecher, Phyllis Greely, Gwendolyn Simmons, Rose Jacob, Helen Ward, Donnie' Grant, Evelyn Neal, Elsie Jensen, Jane Miller, Mar-cella Hachett, Aloha Genther, and Sue Harlow. ;—. —o Sailboat Excursion To Lodge Arranged For all the women and instructors of the school, the Women's Athletic association is sponsoring a sailing excursion to Viqueen lodge tomorrow afternoon.

These are the questions that are being asked around school now, as they always are at this time of the year, and we are pleased to find a more optimistic spirit than we have seen for years. A new coach, a new system, many new players, and we hope a "new deal", have started this hopeful outlook and it shows that the students are all behind the team, in a big way. Let's hope we're not disappointed. "Blocking!" Just a small word but still the most important word in football, or at least in the Notre Dame system of attack which Coach Lappenbusch is ushering in at this school this year. Every night that word is drilled into the players until pretty soon they'll be blocking for Sinko and Toby through the halls, and if present indications mean anything, we will at least have one good blocking team this year. So, remember that when Sinko, or Imhoff, or any of the other boys plants the pigskin over that last chalk line, they only did it because the other ten players did their job well. We've heard rumors that Dill Pierron is going to be a sticker candidate for yell leader this year. More power to you, Bill. (Just a campaign picture above, folks). C. P. S. took a rather bad beating last week over at Washington State when they played Coach Babe Hollingberrie's pet 'Cougars. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1933 October 6 - Page 4 ---------- \frAMl gt;tolWCTATCN6RM^ :e' Made Because Of Complications Gallanger Believes Real Season Is Lack of Time for Men to Get Acquainted The W club informal has been postponed from Saturday, October 14, to November 11, because of conflicting dates and shortage of time for preparations. Herbert Gallanger, newly elected president of the club, says that the committees working on plans for the affair have not had time to secure a satisfactory place for the dance, and a suitable orchestra. . Meeting Held Oct. 3 A meeting was held on Tuesday, October 3, and a committee with Jack Palkner, general chairman; Louis Shaeffer, tickets and nro-grams; and Al Charlsworth, refreshments, were appointed by the president. According to Gallanger, the other main reason for the postponement of the quarterly affair is that the date set was too near the beginning of the quarter and the boys aren't well enough acquainted. State Supreme Court To Decide Question To Affect Building Extent of P. E. Building to Depend on Action Today Whether or not Bellingham Normal will be granted enough money to erect at least a part of the Physical Education building, will depend to a great extent upon the action of the state supreme court today. They are to decide whether or not the state bond issue of $10,000,000 will be used for direct or indirect relief. If it is to be used directly, to buy food and clothing to give out, it is quite probable that Normal will get much less than asked. If it is to be used indirectly to put people to work at building worthwhile projects, probably about $150,- 000 will be appropriated by the state. When Governor Clarence D. Martin was here for commencement last summer, he looked the situation over, and said that he realized the need of such a building on the campus. He has recommended the appropriation of some money for this purpose. Of the $3,300,000,000 federal bond issue, which is intended to encourage state, county, and municipal projects/ probably about $50,000 will be given. The board of trustees asked for $300,000. If only $200,000 is appropriated, two-thirds of the building will be erected. This will probably include the men's gymnasium and the swimming pool, while the women's gymnasium will be built later. At the time the trustees made the request, they said that they believed the construction of this building is in accord with the construction program of the federal public works and industrial control plan. • o Game to be Played (Continued from Page One) try to make that up with lots of fight. If {he first game were tomorrow instead of next Friday, the lineup .would probably look something like this: Odell and Claypoole, ends; Hoban and Smick, tackles; Tonco and Mitchell, guards; Finley, center;- Bagley, quarter; Sinko and Toby, halfbacks, and Imhoff, full. However the others all have a chance to . break into the lineup during the next week and several changes may be made. . .- New Men Out Three new men started to turn out in the last week and one or two ignore are expected out next week. George St; James, a halfback from last year's W. SLC. frosh eleven, started to turn put last Friday night. Bill Sherman, a 200-pound end who played last season on the University of Washington Frosh, also is turningout as is Cfoet Ullin, tackle.

This was only one of the adventures of Miss Ruth Weythman, physical education instructor, • on her trip around the world. "I left Seattle a year ago this month for the Orient," said Miss Weythman as if reliving it all. "In Japan I visited with a Japanese girl with whom I had corresponded since I was in college. I had tea at her home and she showed me some of the costumes which her father had in his possession, of the ancient warriors of her country. "From Japan I went to China on a Japanese boat, which was unfortunate enough to get in the tail end of a typhoon. While I was on board the captain announced the election of President Roosevelt. "I was in Peking, a very old and fascinating city, where ancient and modern ways are contrasted. From this city I went on an excursion to the Great Wall. After visiting other cities in China, I went to Manilla, where I spent a day with Mrs. Mansfield (Vesta Larson) a former Normal student. - "Singapore was the southernmost point I reached. Here one feels a very tropical atmosphere. "One of the high spots in my trip was seeing the sun come over Mt. Everest in India. Here I joined some Canadian girls andtook a train to Bagdad. At Ur Chalues they were excavating graves which had been buried over 3000 years.

Martin, twenty-four candidates received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The place was the auditorium of Bellingham State Normal school; the date was August 25, 1933. The degrees were the first to be granted since the recent legislature enactel the enabling law. From the opening selection by the orchestra to the final benediction, the audience was enthralled. History was being accomplished before their eyes! Bellingham Normal was taking its place among the full rank colleges of the nation. Governor Gives Address Governor Clarence D. Martin, after congratulating the pioneer graduates, defended the administration's educational policy in the main commencement address. He bitterly scored the section of the public who have urged the closing of the Normal schools as an economy measure. "Expenditures for these institutions are well justified," the governor declared. He told the graduates that they had incurred no obligation to teach, adding.that, "the important thing is that you have shown an interest in" education." Degrees Are Presented After other speeches by President C. H. Fisher and Dr. W. D. Kirk-patrick, chairman of the board of trustees, the governor, at his own request, • presented the diplomas.

We wish him a speedy recovery. For now, we have had the honor to be selected in his place. Consider yourselves introduced. W. S. N. S. Now that graduation time is approaching, we cannot help considering the serious nature of the profession of teaching. It is hard for us to conceive the fact that each of these boys and girls with whom we Tiave associated for the past nine months will soon have entirely in his hands the gigantic responsibility of guiding the education of from twenty to thirty young lives, For it is a gigantic responsibility. It would be gigantic if there were but a single life involved. When you consider, as we did, the potentialities that may lie in the mind of a child, and realize the extreme delicacy with which they must necessarily be directd if the child is to be a true man, or a true woman, we think that you will be struck, as we were, with the enormity of t h e task which a teacher undertakes. W. S. N. S. We have been reading- an article in a recent magazine on "Why is Modern Youth Cynical?" by Ber-trand Russell. His main discussion is grouped under five heads: Religion, Country, Progress, Beauty, and Truth. Do you notice that these five things are probably the ones most worth living for? Any one discrediting the value of any one of them is certainly worthy of the brand of cynic. Because we think they are worth while, we are going to pass on in brief Bertrand Russell's reasons for the loss of the prestige of these standards in the minds of modern youth. W. S. N. S. Religion has lost its importance l o r two reasons. First, the God of -the modern has lost his definiteness. He is thought of as something -vague, as a "Life Force," or a "Power not ourselves that makes for righteousness." Second, the churches of today have built up an oppressive system of ethics that condemns many apparently harmless pleasures, and has probably been the greatest of factors in keeping youth from the churches. Russell says, "I have known earnest young men who- accepted wholeheartedly the teachings of Christ; they found themselves in opposition to official Christianity." W. S. N. S. Love of country, or patriotism, is almost a lost ideal. The fact that the power of nationalism is so frequently misused in a free nation has made it apparent to youthful intelligence that patriotism is the 'chief curse of the age." W. S. N.-S. Our ideals of progress have too much of the character of Babbitt about them. Only measurable progress is recognized today, and it is Russell's belief (and ours) that the really important things are not measurable at all. Hence modern youth, vaguely sensing an insincerity in the basis nature of the present conception of "Progress," thinks but little of it as an ideal. -W. S. N. S. The word "Beauty" has lost its significance. There is somehow an old-fashioned touch to the very thought of beauty as an ideal. As Russell says, "A modern artist would be indignant if he were accused of seeking beauty." He seems to rather seek to startle. W. S. N. S. Truth, instead of being an ideal in present days, is something to be torn down. All sorts of enemies are at constant war with it: pragmatism, behaviorism, psychologism, relativity, physics. It is virtually impossible for an educated person to worship truth, knowing that there is no one truth that is better than another truth. W. S. N. S. We saw a group of little third or fourth grade training school children playing out on the mound, or the heap, or the hillock, or whatever you call it. Somehow they looked better there than they do swinging in iron swings. Drama Club Play Pleases Audience DRAMA CLUB PLAY IS WELL RECEIVED BY LARGE AUDIENCE First Showing of Phillip Barry's "The Youngest" Is Well Received by Appreciative Students. Last night a large and appreciate audience witnessed the first performance of the Drama Club's presentation of "The Youngest" an exceptionally entertaining comedy by Philip Barry. It is certain that if any among the audience were at odds with life and disgusted with conditions in general when they at-tered the auditorium, they left with a lightheartedness and spirit of "All's right with the world." The excellent cast and artistic planning of every scene put the play over in a notable manner. Victor H. Hoppe directed the production and is to be praised for his ability in the techincal direction as well as in training the cast to live and become one with their parts. His assistant was Virginia Howell, who did efficient work as business manager and acted the role of maid in the play. If you -know the trials and tribulations of being the youngest child in a family you are duly qualified to suffer with Tom Durham. Mr. Durham elicited sympathy and provided much amusement, as Richard Wins-low. He was a boy with ambitions, standing alone and being stormed at on every side by a practical family. His. boyish disgust, sincerity, and bravado were delightful. Charming is the one word fitting Lou Griffin in the feminine lead as Nancy. Her cleverness in handling the whole family make you doubt her sincerity, but she showed up "true blue" at (Continued on Page Four) o LEAGUE HAS SECOND MEETING OF QUARTER Install Jennie Berg, New President, by Retiring President, Jean Phil-ippi; Musical Program Enjoyed. The Womens League held their second assembly of the quarter last Fi'iday May 16. A discussion led by President Jean Philippi, was held concerning plans which would enable the League to raise more money for the activity program, and the advisability of assigning Big Sister for Freshmen girls next fall, was considered. Following these discussions a program was presented under the direction of Gladys Smith. Jennie Berg, newly elected president, announced the numbers. Margaret Morrison gave a piano solo, followed by a violin solo by Ethel Boynton, accompanied by Muriel Myhre. Evelyn Montgomery sang two songs, and was accompanied by Dorothy Montgomery at the piano. Piano Students to Appear Assembly Jean Philippi and Suzanne Ciss-na, students of Edith R. Strange, of the department of Music, will be presented in a musical recital by Miss Strange in the regular assembly next Tuesday, May 27. They will be assisted by Mary Miller, Irene Wilson, Muriel Myhre, Betty Bellman, Kathryn Berkeley, and Clara Vander Griend. This program promises to be exceptionally interesting in view of the fact that almost all of the young musicians are students of the Normal school, except Suzanne Ciss-na, who is a student in the training school. Miss Philippi has appeared before audiences here several times and always has been enthusiastically received. As the student body sems to appreciate programs presented by some of their own members, this is certain to prove stimulating. A varied and well-balanced program has been arranged which will include solos and two piano ensemble numbers. Have Important Roles In "The Youngest" LOU DU BOIS TOM DURHAM EDENS HALL GIRLS TO GIVE INFORMAL TOMORROW EVENING Dancing Will Start at 8:30, With the Five Bumble B's Playing; Lou Mohring General Chairman. Julius Raplee, who is a missionary in Venezuela, South America, at the Osanako mission, and who is now home on a furlough, gave a very interesting and instructive talk to-the Y. W. C. A. recently on the conditions in South America. He was very well received. A spring dance is to be given in the blue room of Edens Hall tomorrow night by the girls of the dormitory, in place of the customary informal. It was decided to make the affair as simple as possible on account of the lateness of the date. A spring decoration motif is to be carried out with flowers and greenery and music will be furnished by the Five Bumble B's. I t was decided not to invite patrons and patronesses, although Mrs. Alice Houston, Miss Fern Johnson, and Miss Adele M. Jones will attend the affair. "The girls have planned a very attractive dance", Lucille Mohring chairman of the social committee declared, "and have arranged for unusually clever programs. Mary Miller is chairman of the decoration committee. Jane Polachek is taking ctre of the programs and Betty Pederson is heading the clean-up committee." Will Award Cup to Tennis Victors No regular meeting of the Board of Control was held this week, although a special meeting was held Friday of last week to determine whether a cup would be given for the winner of the Tri-Normal tennis tournament tomorrow. It was decided that the Co-Op would donate a cup for the meet, which will become the permanent property of the winning team. It was also suggested that our Athletic department get in touch with those of the other two schools and arrange for a more elaborate cup to be given next year. The board will advise that the Trf- Normal cup become the permanent property of one school only after a series of winning meets. o WILL HOLD BANQUET On Friday, May 23, the Alkisiah Club will hold its Spring Quarter Banquet in the Montague-McHugh tearooms. o Poor Health Forces Associate Editor to Discontinue Studies Bob Walters, associate editor of the Viking, was the second Normal student to find it necessary to leave school this week on account of illness. Mr. Walters had been suffering for several weeks with attacks of the grip and flu, and upon an examination Wednesday it was learned that he has sinus trouble. He will remain under the care of Dr. E. F. Larkin for several days before returning to his home in Astoria, Oi'egon. During the absence of Mr. Walters, "Normalite", popular feature column of the Viking, will be handled by Arden Benthien. MR. BOND GIVES ADDRESSES E. A. Bond, of the Mathemathics department delivered the Commencement Day address at Maple Falls last Friday evening and at Puyallup on Monday. There were 125 graduates from Puyallup High this year, Mr. Bond said. o IVERSON ELECTED AS MEN'S CLUB PREXY Ingwald Iverson- was elected to the presidency of the Mens club at the meeting held last Friday, and Allen Ross was elected to the vice presidency, while Eddie Dyff was selected as secretary-treasurer, and Earl Hutchins was named to represent the organization in the Inter- Club council. A new amendment to the constitution was adopted, making the term of officer three quarters, rather than one quarter, as has been done in the past. Following the business meeting, Herbert Ruckmick gave an interesting talk on Photography, and explained the rapidly expanding importance of that interesting avocation. o SENIORS TO PICNIC AT LAKE SAMISH BUREAU APPOINTS MANY TO POSITIONS DURING BUSY WEEK Work Increases for Appointment Bureau as Time for Graduation Draws Nearer; Many ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 23 - Page 2 ---------- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^w w? lt; Wm$^m8@m WA^NCH^NS^^ Formerly The Wee*iy Messenger—Founded 1899 Published evtery Friday except during the month of September, Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingham. ^ by the Associated € Entered in the Postoffice at Bellingham, Washington, as second class matter by Virtue of the act of March 3, 1879. . , Printed by the Miller _ Sutherlen Printing Company, Bellingham National Bank Bldg.

Macgill Clayton Unger Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren BAYING THE MOON. Luring the present quarter, which will soon be the past quarter, many reform, have been agitated by students, though few with any effect. Nor has this quarter been an exceptional one. The fact of the matter is that students are constantly suggesting reforms, but seldom with any air ot conviction. We believe that the reason for this is that students have done much revolting over alleged injustices that they have gotten so calloused that they can't convince themselves any longer. We believe that the great-est drawback to student reforms is that we students yell too much and too We are agitated over everything. If the soup is cold some noon, we bellow about it. If the spinach displeases us, we point our faces to the sky and bawl. In fact, whenever we become displeased, we throw our B y lungs into action, and the whole pack of us go into full cry. Which would be all right if we used some discretion about it. But Ae truth is, we shout so loudly and so long that the faculty (who hold the whip hand in any dispute), become accustomed to it, and rather than lend us the serious ear, treat us with about the same respect that they would show me midnight tomcat on the back fence. We are either thrown out, or we are yelled down. And, consequently, a lot of mighty !'|p^"i«fbnns which would, perhaps, contribute to the efficiency of the school, go by the board. o MEN'S CLUB ' . \ . ' Comedy in One Act ; PRESIDENT: Gentlemen, let us come to order. :^t"y^MRvA.: I move, Mr. President, that in order to expedite matters, we dispense with the ordinary formalities of parliamentary order. MR. B.: I agree with Mr. A., but let us do so formally. I move that we take a standing vote to dispense with the formalities. H MR* C : I move that we merely raise our right hands. MR. X.: I second the motion. PRESIDENT:.. I beg your pardon, but which motion did you second? The second one, sir. I seconded the first motion, sir; but my voice was Well, here y'are, studes. We've been doing nothing but finding fault for some time now. Satire is nice, all right, but gee, it's tiresome to always be bitter about something. .* * * There's one thing yet that bothers us, though. We don't know what the idea is of having all these darned radiator pipes exposed. We are, at present, nursing a swell (ed) big blister on bur left elbow, a most inconvenient place. All we did was reach down after a pencil on the floor, but we let said elbow sway carelessly around as we reached, and sowie!—we got burned! Now, why should that be? * * * Also, we have observed that these blamed pipes are hot as—, well, very hot, even on the balmiest of spring days. Probably we'd better not pass any criticism on that fact, though. We may get ourselves involved in the dark and mysterious science of heating and show off our ignorance of said science. There may be a certain necessary amount of fuel to be consumed each day, or something. We really don't know. # * * Ahem! The "Sage Cynic" came forth in a student opinion last week to take exception to the term "male alarm clock", used in a recent Viking feature. We can't imagine who of the Viking staff could be guilty of such terrible indiscretion... But anyway, gracious us, gracious us, this ignorance is pitiful.. Almost everybody knows that alarm clocks are made in two sexes. Gee whiz, we learned thta when we were a mere child! And anyone writing of alarm clocks should distinguish, you know, so as to make his meaning clear. MR.X.: MR.Z.: not heard MR. X.: I beg your pardon, Mr. Z., but according to parliamentary procedure—and so on, ad infinitum. EXTEMPO CONTEST Glancing over the list of winners of the Fall and Winter elimination contests for the year's best extemporaneous speaker, Quick, Langworthy, Fitzwater, and Gerold, it appears that the final contest speeches on June 3 should be the best that Normal students have heard since the contests were started. Rumors have it that a number of other veterans will be eliminating each other in the preliminary, and this will doubtless put two more speakers of tried ability into the finals. But what with the competition this,year, the winner of the Extempo Cup will have something to write home about. This name, "Sage Cynic", though, has caused us considerable wonder. When we referred to the dictionary, we found that "Sage", means "wise; discerning;., well-judged;., discriminating; characterized by wisdom grave". Well, that left us still wondering. How could anyone be wise and discerning when he didn't even know that there were such things as male alarm clocks? Humph, say we! * ff * And this word "Cynic" bothered us, too. It means "a morose, surly or sarcastic person; or one of a sect of ancient Greek philosophers". Now that's not very blinking consistent. We ask you, could anyone "characterized by wisdom" be "morose" or "surly"? We think not. And as to the latter part of the definition, we could see how a person could be "Greek", all right, but "ancient"?.. —M—m—m—m— we think not, anyway. Names like that are just too deep for us, we guess. * * 0 Just to change the subject, we'll quote something a fellow named Coleman Cox, once said: "I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem, to have". Figure it out for yourself. * * • gt; GREAT SIMPLE FACTS 1. Though our relatives are wished upon us, our friends we can always pick for ourselves. 2. Though our faces are wished upon us, our noses we can always— Gracious!.. That was almost a break! Student Opinion Just a word to back up -Editor Craft's plea for an orientation course influencing the student's appreciation of music. Unless a student is naturally musical or comes from a rare school in which music has been regarded with the same importance as the necessary courses, he is going to enter Normal with a very meager knowledge of this art. It has been the lot of many of us to graduate from country schools where musical instruction occurred once a week and we were taught to carry a tune. From there to high school where we learned the definition of that high and mighty word, "opera," where interested ones sang in glee clubs, and where, if the school happened to have a fitting instructor, an orchestra was organized for a certain few who had been fortunate enough to take lessons. Now let an individual of that musical training enter Normal, plunge him into the musical artists' courses, make him listen to the gifted and trained musicians who bring us music in its highest form—will he understand and appreciate? Ten to one, No! He will sit restlessly in assembly, either read, disturb others, or look bored. But give him a working knowledge of what it is all about, instruct him while he has the chance to listen to artists, or just open the door for him a few inches. Soon you will find he has pushed it wide open and is exploring the beauty and wonders of a glorious new world inside. —W. L. o Hospital Notes Normalites Earn in Devious Ways DRAMA CLUB PLAY Those who did not see "The Youngest," last night, should date themselves up for the Drama Club Play tonight. The directors promised a good play, well acted, and it may be a long time before many of us will be able to see another. If you have been lulled to non-resistance during the past month by artificial dime-novel talkie-singie-dancies, it will amaze you how much you have been cheated out of when you see a group of human beings, under artistic direction, playing a play that was written by an artist for people who want their comedies and their tragedies to have tomething of beauty in them. Fisher Stresses Normal Loan Fund - « • »»ii Committee on Life Diplomas Receives Favorable Reports What qualities do a school board and district superintendent expect a teacher to have? The answer to this question may be found in the questionnaires re-turried to the Life Diploma Committee concerning persons who have made applications for life diplomas. These questionnaires are sent to school boards and district superintendents to find out the success that new teachers have had in | i i their first three or four years of Bleaching.- .'• fpli iTtoe ':kind of reports which the pf committee likes to receive are those which have nothing but praise for J that teacher. Some of these run as i follciws:••-This girl is an exceptionally efficient teacher". "She is a ppi thorough worker and has good co- operation with students, faculty, iSindparents". "He is a fme leader ^lindabasthe confidence of his pupils". "She is the most resourceful and original teacher in the system". "He is an exceptionally fine young man, refined, quiet manners, pleasant to work with, and willing to cooperate". "Each year she has shown improvement". "She is a fine classroom leader and a growing teacher". "She is doing splendid work and I would not hesitate to re-employ her". There are some reports on the other hand which the committee does not like to receive. These are of this type. "He was interested in his work but would not co-operate". "She was willing but not efficient", or "She has a good character but lacks general culture". The committee cannot conscientiously grant diplomas on reports of this kind so they usually recommend that the applicants teach their full five years. To date, 116 applicants have been approved and 31 turned down. At a recent assembly President C. H. Fisher, emphasized among other things, the fact that we have a Student Loan Fund. Commenting later on the fund, Miss Theresa Gunther, chairman of the Student Loan Fund committee, declared: "Any student may borrow from the Student Loan Fund on certain condtiions. Application to be made to the chairman of the Loan committee. This committee is composed of faculty members who are appointed by the president. Upon recommendation of the committee the student may be granted a loan from the fund under certain conditions. The total amount loaned to any student during his entire stay at Normal is $200.00. No loan can be made at any one time of more than fifty dollars to Freshmen or seventy-five dollars to Sophomores. The provisions are: 1. That the student must have been in attendance at the Normal school for a period not less than one quarter and ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 23 - Page 3 ---------- $Mm? WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Wwm^lWWWWW'M^M TROPHY CUP GIVEN TO WINNING TEAM In Tri-Normal Tennis Meet to be Held on Courts Here Tomorrow; Kork, Emery, and Jewell Play. /'Wwrni^w^w^Mmi^m WHO WILL WIN TOMORROW? Tomorrow will be the climax of the intensive training of the Viking •track men. Up to this time they have been working hard in dual meets and in practice to get themselves toned up for this big final event. Although the track squad has been small throughout the whole season a real conscientious attitude has been taken by t h e fellows this giving them an even break with Cheney for the Tri-Normal championship by their dogged persistence to win, as has been shown in t he past two dual meets with the College of Puget Sound and Ellensburg. Both of these schools took defeat, at the hands of the Vikings by scores of 78 1-3 to 51 2-3 and 88 to 42 respectively. These scores might indicate that either we have an exceptionally strong team or else the teams we have met were very weak. Ellensburg will undoubtedly be out of the race for the title. Cheney will probably manage to garner a few more points than Bellingham. That is, if the past times of some of the .runs of the Cheney athletes prove to be true. The best race will probably be in the two-mile run between Brink-man and Pelly. Last year Brink-man barely nosed out Pelly and this year Pelly will give Brinkman a better race because of his past defeat. At least it will probably be the most interesting race of the meet. Some other good races will be in the 440 and 880, but the mile and sprints will probably not be so , interesting. If Cheney is very strong in t he field events the meet will go to Cheney without a doubt, but if we can equal Cheney in the field events it is going to be a real question as to whom the pennant is going to go to. As far as I have been able to figure the whole situation out, no one can afford to miss the meet. The least you can do is come and root for your Alma Mater. o WEATHER SLOWS BASEBALL PRACTICES The weather has been playing havoc with the baseball team in both the schedule of games and in practices. In the past two weeks very few practices have been possible because of the dampness of the soil. Last Saturday the annual clash with the U. of W. Prosh had to be postponed because of the rain. Only one intramural game has been played in the past, two weeks. Handicapped with such conditions the coach and team should consider themselves lucky if they can get by their next game with a win. If they lose we cannot blame the team. The old Weather Man is the one to attach the blame to. o TRI-NORMAL TENNIS MATCHES Our tennis teams have shown considerable progress in the past few weks. I n t h e first matches with the U. of W. Prosh, the Prosh took practically every game, but in t he last matches the Vikings took several games and the Prosh were nearly defeated in several of the sets. If this can be taken as a basis, the netmen may come out on top of the pile with the Tri-Normal championship belt attached to them. Of course the team from Cheney and Ellensburg have to be considered, but since there has not been ,any dope available on them it is hard to say how strong they really are. All that I can say is if you really wish to see some real tennis sets be at the courts Saturday morning. o RECORDS MAY BE LOWERED Some records will probably be lowered tomorrow by over-anxious Normal athletes as they will strive to set a record for themselves. In the pole vault if everything goes all right the record will falL The present record stands at 11 feet 6 inches, and Flowers can equal this if not beat it. In the two-mile run the record will fall. The present record is 10:26, and Brinkman and Pelly have both run the distance in less time this season. , The mile record will probably fall if Pelly runs the four laps in as ** fast a time as he has been doing. The present record stands at :4:40.2. o — DO NOT FORGET THESE EVENTS There are three things that you must not forget this week-end. The Drama Club Play, "The Youngest." The Tri-Normal Tennis and Track meet; and the coming of the Viking Vodvil. Have you been practicing on your acts. Remember, try-outs are to be held on May 27 and a cup is to be offered as first prize. Who is going to win t he cup this year? The Thespians walked off with it last year. There will also be other ' big surprises this year. Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, tennis stars from Bellingham, Cheney and Ellensburg will get under way for the annual tri-normal matches. Two singles and a doubles champion will be picked, and the school winning the majority of these matches will be given the championship trophy cup. Just how the matches ' will turn out is a problem. Although the Vikings dropped both of their matches to the Washington Prosh, they are figured a chance to cop the tourney. Little is known of the other two schools' strength. Cheney defeated Whitman College, which means something, but nothing has been heard from Ellensburg. The Viking team is yet partly undecided. Rork is slated to play the first singles and will pair up with Emory in the doubles. Jewell or Cdn-stantine will play second singles, Wednesday Jewell defeated the latter, 6-7, 3-6, 7-5, but another match is yet to be played. s Frosh Repeat The University of Washington Frosh again defeated the Vikings in six straight matches in a contest played here Friday, May 16. Every match was hard-fought, however, and the Frosh had to go a t top-speed all the way. Rork was defeated by Sletterdahl, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2, and Constantine lost to Reike, 6-2, 6-3. Emery dropped a hardfought contest to Pierson, 6-4, 9-7, while Jewell lost an equally hard one to Talbot, 7-5, 6-2. In doubles Rork and Emery came close, but were defeated by Reike and Sletterdahl, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Talbot and Ellerby completed the defeat, winning from Jewell and Constantine, 6-4, 6-3. o ATTEMPT TO MAKE HANDBALL REGULAR SPORT SUCCESSFUL Viking Nine Have Two Games Scheduled to Be Played Next Week Some were glad and some were sad, as the last of the technique practices closed Tuesday night for Women's baseball. Despite threatening clouds and high wind that raged, the valiant women stuck to the posts assigned them to raise their standard of the number of fair balls, hits, number caught and, above all, to keep down the number of missed balls. From raw, unseasoned material, Miss Mildred Jewell and the managers have worked up some very promising stuff for a good, peppy Freshman and Sophomore team. The Freshman have the odds on the Sophs with the hardest-hitting and surest-catching group of all. Sigrid Wiberg seems to have cinched the berth of pitcher for the Frosh, as no one else tried out. On t he Sophomore side the strong arm of Gay Smith would cause an even balance of power. The teams will be picked for sure, Thursday. Then some close games can be expected. When it comes time to pick the All-Star team the great question mark will be raised again, for even the coach will be hard hit to decide on the right ones. o PHiLO THESPIANS ON BIG WEEK-END TRIP VIKING CINDER MEN BURY ELLENSBURG Eleven Firsts Help Viking Boys Win a n Easy 88 to 42 Victory Over Foe, in Dual Track Meet; Blistered hands, tired and aching feet, and an earnest desire to at least get one good sock at the little rubber ball is the result of the first attempt at putting handball over as a part of the regular Spring sport's program for Women's Athletics. The turnouts showed a wealth of promising material for a hard-hitting team. Many hours have been spent in practice of serving and r e ceiving the ball. A round-robin tournament was put in play with the following women entered on the ladder: Evelyn Forest, Alena Bever, Marietta Bergeron, Thelma Hilburger, Olevene Bewely, Phyliss Gresnan. Each woman must win two games out of three in her matches. Twenty-one points constitutes a game. If a woman makes the first team 100 points are earned. Fifty points are earned for the intramurals. Miss Margeiy Horton urges support for this new sport, for only by support can the girls be spurred on to victory for t he Blue and White. o Archery Tournament Proves Interesting Sherwood Forest, transplanted to lower Sehome Hill, is the scene of the women's Robin Hood tournament of the Normal. When the challenging started, no one knew who would be the winners. It still looks doubtful, for the contestants creep up on one another every day that matches are played. The standing of the women entered to date is as follows: •Hunt, Towner, Koshi, May, Thompson, Bresnan, Pearson, Dahl. The outcome of the remaining matches to be played will decide high players of the tournament and pick the Freshman and Sophomore teams. These two classes will then shoot for the honors of the class. From these teams the all-star players are picked who will shoot for grand prize winner of the school on Field Day. o Frank Everenden will spend the week-end in Seattle on business. Fifty-three gallant Philo-Thes-pian sailors boarded the yacht Thetis at 4 o'clock last Saturday, planning to have the time of their lives on the week-end trip at Olga beach, on Orcas island. And they did! It was slow moving, going over, the trip taking about three and a half hours. Along' toward 7 o'clock people became decidedly hungry and so much fruit and several loaves of bread miraculously disappeared from the food supply. Having landed on shore with only a few sick sailors, working crews set forth to prepare lodging for the night and most of all, a meal for the starving crowd. Around 9 o'clock the whole family was eating heartily of the best meal they ever tasted. "5 Bumble Bees" Play A dance at which the '*5 Bumble The Normal Vikings had little trouble defeating the Ellensburg Wildcats in a dual track and field meet held here, Friday, May 16.

WASHINGTON EXTEMPO GUP MEANS OF INSPIRATION FOR POTENTIAL ORATORS Speech Contests Institution for Three Years; Women Monopolize Engraving Privileges. Training School Extempo loving cup! The name is heard after every contest and is the honored goal of the winner, but to how many does it appear any more than a name? The students are quite naturally and properly concerned only with the speaker, but, for once, let us reverse things and think only of the cup, its meaning; and what it may stand for in the life of a student. Proudly it stands, and engraved on its glossy sides are the names of individuals who burst, through the narrow bands of doubt and timidity, who faced the public fearlessly and gave to them thoughts original and significant. Probably t h a t public appearance awakened a latent ambition of the speaker, gave him a new and cosmopolitan view of life, while at the same itime there was a spirit of emulation created among the listeners. They awoke to the importance and value of such an activity and this led naturally to a stimulation, and from there to a higher standard in the public speaking and debate of the school. The current topics used as subjects by the speakers helped to give a new slant on problems of national interest. The cup came into the life of Normal in 1927 with the advent of the Extemporaneous Speech contests. For that year June Wetherell won the place of honor followed by Margaret Hill in 1928, and by Joy Efte-land in 1929. The cup is anticipating now, stai proudly, the individual whom it may honor for 1930. Incidentally, the names so far have been girls and our great orators have been men—perhaps our noble cup puzzles over that. — o WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB PRESENTS CONCERT The Bellingham Women's Music Club Chorus was presented in its annual Spring concert in the assembly Tuesday, May 20. The club is under the direction of Harrison Raymond and Althea Horst Raymond played the accampaniment. Ethel Lever Hawes, soprano of Vancouver, B. C, assisted as soloist. The first part of the program consisted of numbers by the chorus and a group of solos. The remainder of the hour was given to the rendition of "The River of Stars," a cantata by Mr. Bawdin, with words by Alfred Noyes. PLAY DAY Wednesday, May 21, was Play Day in the Training School. A picnic lunch was enjoyed at 11:20 and rhythms and dances on the knoll by each grade, tumbling and mat demonstrations by the boys, with a final windup led by the pre-pri-mary were events of the morning. I n the afternoon there were games on the field: Baseball, service ball, ring tennis, relays, tags and so forth, in which every one took part. Play Day was originally intended as a joint activity participated in by the training school and students, from the country ^schools. This year, however, the outside children were unable to attend on account of epidemics. VIKING REPORTERS VISIT LOCAL PAPER Last Tuesday, at 2 o'clock, members of the News Writing classes and several other interested students went on a tour of inspection through The Herald press and composing rooms. Packed in and around Mr. Fowler's Ford sedan and Clayton Ungcr's "Chev" coupe, the thirteen members of the party let the school and sped down to the Kerald building, where they were met and escorted on their tour by Charles Sefrit, of the Herald staff. Many Interesting Features Several interesting features of the trip were the inspection of the morgue, the place in which all cuts and pictures are kept; the machine in which the mats for stereotyping were moulded; the machines which automatically receive news over the United Press and Associated Press wires, and the printing of the mailing edition of the Evening Herald. Following are the names of those students who made the trip: Harold Magelson, Florence Elliott, Clayton Unger, Wave Lampman, Myrna Thompson, Martin Jackson, Coressa Shull, E. Canfield, Charles Dewey, Mrs. Sarah Magill, Elinor Anderson, Marion Marchand, and Hugh Love-gren. o TRI-NORMAL MEET HERE TOMORROW (Continued from Page One) prospects have been looking brighter, but certainly no dope slinger can name with fair accurracy the winning team. In 1928 Ellensburg was the winner but last year the Vikings won at Cheney by one point, the score standing: Ellensburg 20; Cheney 55; and Bellingham 56. This year Cheney has a good man in Pelley, who is an exceptional miler and two miler. He is expected to break a tri-meet record. Flowers of Bellingham also has a chance to break a record in the pole vault. So who will win is a big question. MISS RICH RETURNS Miss Mary E. Rich, director of the Training school, returned Wednesday noon from an extended trip through the East, in time for the Play Day activities. o The training school children will hold their annual "Hour of Song" at the regular nine o'clock assembly hour next Thursday, May 29. The purpose of this hour of entertainment is to show some of the different types of musical activity carried on by the children. There will be interpretative work, chorus singing, a harmonica band, and rhythm orchestra. Parents and friends of the children are cordially invited to attend. _ o T. N. P. Weekly Service CHENEY Two hundred and twenty-one students are applicants for diplomas from the Cheney state normal at the end of the spring quarter May 29. Dr. E. O. Holland, president of Washington State College will deliver the commencement address. The Masquer Dramatic club presented three one-act plays in the Normal auditorium, Friday evening, May 16. On Saturday, May 9 and 10, the 20th annual May festival was held in Cheney. A park program of May dances, street parade, concert, vaudeville, baseball game and a three-act play were features. Normal students took an active part. Elaborate decorations featured the junior prom which was held in the gymnasium Saturday evening. Five women were presented "W" sweaters, symbolic of athletic prowess, Friday. Points toward sweaters are won by participation in baseball, jollyball, volleyball, basketball, and hiking. The Cheney tennis team defeated the tennis squad of Whitworth college, Spokane, five matches to one, in a meet at Cheney last week. o PICNIC IN CANADA A group of Normalites, including several of the faculty people, pic-ni6ked last Sunday at Hope, B.

XXXI—NO. 18 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, February 10, 1933 Normalite TO A DEGREE TWO EXERCISED MONEY TO SPEND -By Bob Walters *• FEB: 17 ASSEMBLY IS TO FEATURE DANCER Luisa Espinel to Present Pictures from Spain Little I t should be a week of rejoicing for faculty, students and graduates of the Normal schools of the State of Washington with the new Normal degree-granting authorization tucked away in the bag. I t received the signature of Governor Martin, who had assured President Fisher of his assent and has set the day that will complete the campaign that has been carried on by Washington educators for the past ten years, and that surely means business. To make .the bill more effective, it carried by a vote in both the House and the Senate, which was nearly a complete white-washing for the opposing group... That alone must have been quite a tonic to the minds of those who have fought and fought hard for years for this measure. They deserve the fruits that come with unquestionable victory. President Fisher was jubilant at the results and he should be. Here and now we congratulate him wholeheartedly. A mere congratulation is so minute compared to the hours of effort he has put in, that • it sounds like a pin dropping in a room of fifteen riveting hammers. , // 15 something to run an institution with a minimum of friction, but it is another thing to advance its standing constantly. President Fisher has done both. W. S. N. S. Our scholastic standing is excellent at the present time; with this new angle it will add prestige to our education and that is what we want. I think all agree to that. The time has past, or at least is in the dim, backward distance, when the Normal schools of the state represented a place to pick up a few canned facts to pass on to the coming generations as the pure stuff, or for the student to put in time when unfit for anything else, in other words, just a grist-mill turning out nonthinking, non-leading, personality-minus weak-sisters of the teaching profession. Maybe we haven't turned out world-beating athletes, BUT WE "Cuadros Castizos" or little pictures from Spain and other Hispanic countries, is the theme of a program to be presented in assembly on Friday, February 17, by Luisa Espinel, a dancer and interpreter of Spanish Folk music; In addition to the repertoire of folk songs and dances of former ages, she sings the songs of Spanish moderns such as de Falla, Granados Turina and Nin. She also has a large collection of folk songs from our Southwestern states and Mexico. Program Varied Her program is built around seven groups of songs. The groups represent northern Spain, the Levant of Spain, the south of Spain, the Spanish Moors, the north t gt;f Mexico and California. For each dance she has a different costume and colorful properties, many of which have histories of their own. Honored Highly Miss Espinel has received two of the highest artistic honors accorded a recitalist: in 1928 she was sent as a special envoy of the famous Institute de las Espanas on a tour of the United States; and was assisting ar-ist at the Anniversary Festival of Chambers of Music at Pittsfield, Massachusetts, sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge. o WAA to Sponsor Four-Star Movie Philip Barry's "Animal Kingdom" Coming Next Week QUARTETTE APPEARS BEASTS TO TANGLE Costumed Les Voyageurs Group Presents Varied Music An attractive program of music is expected when the mixed quartette of "Les Voyageurs" of Vancouver, B. C, appears in assemby Tuesday, February 14. The artists will wear full dress costumes and uniforms and will present a program ranging from TUT dor Madrigalis and Palestrina to early and late Victorian music. Modern impressionistic piano selections, Dvorak and Beethovan duos modern light classics, and a selection from "The Firefly" complete the program. The madrigals will be presented in the old English style, with the singers seated at a table. The personnel includes Mr. Bates, who announces the numbers; Bettie Cross, pianist; Marion Frieze Edwards, soprano; Jane Sugden, contralto; William Beadle, tenor; and J. McAllister Wallace, bass. SHORHSITSPEAK Adult Recreation Is Subject of Talk by P. E. Teacher E Powerful Partis and Battling Brewer Will Battle (Continued on Page Two) SILLY SAM GIVEN BY DRAMA CLASS Plot Portrays Factory Life Northern England A very fine performance of the, one-act play, "Silly Sam," was presented in assembly this morning by Victor H. Hoppe's play production group. •' The plot is of a very simple and delicate nature dealing with the life of Sarah, an old woman who has spent her entire life as a common . weaver in one of the factories of northern England. Harriet Ricker-son, in this difficult role did a fine bit. of character work. Roger Chapman, characterized as the young curate, played his part in a calm and natural manner. A touching, scene was created when Silly Sam, played by Nelson Brewer arrives at the critical mo- • ment as a reprieve and saves Sarah from the poor house. Katherine Bowden, playing the role of Emma, a young weaver, did well in portraying the true meaning of friendship and sympathy between the factory workers. Roger Chapman deserves considerable praise for his directing of this successful production. ''. The play is particularly appropriate at,:'this tune bemuse of the present existing conditions among the the need of the bill not being que* : f a f l ^ r wortfcr^^ "The Animal Kingdom," a four-star picture showing at the Mount Baker theatre, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of next week, will be sponsored by the W. A. A. Until Tuesday, tickets for this motion picture can be procured for 25 cents each, at the landing in front of the main door. Twenty-five percent of each admission sold by organization members will be cleared by the W. A. A. This sum will go to pay off. some of the Sinclair Island lodge debt. "The Animal Kingdom" strangely enough, has not a single animal in it. It is a clever satire on modern society. The writer of the stage pro-production, Philip Barry, gave i t this title simply because his characters show so many elemental emotions that they are fit only to be ranked in the animal kingdom. Critic Praises Show Pare Lorentz a critic of much note writes in Vanity Fair: "You could not ask for a more skillful or careful or genuinely fine production than 'The Animal Kingdom' To begin with it is by far the best study of poor little rich people Barry has written. And as Leslie Howard, William Gorgan, Ann Harding, and Myrna Loy have been secured for the leading characters, it could hardly miss being a splendid production." _ o Barefoot Schoolboy Bill Successful in Senate at Olympia The "Barefoot Schoolboy'' act, introduced to the state senate by Senator Gable, father of John and Charles Gable, attending Bellingham- Normal school, was passed by an unanimous vote of those present yesterday. The bill provides that the state bear half the running expenses of the' public schools, an increase of 30% from the percentage formerly appropriated for this purpose. The bill as passed was only amended in one respect from the one originally proposed by the senator., The only debate, was that concerning the proposed amendments,' Several phases of adult recreation will be discussed next Wednesday, night by Miss Thelma Short, women's physical education teacher, for regular broadcast Miss Short will link up with adult pastimes the activities and forms of recreation in which the women. are instructed here, showing that the Normal program of sports for girls is such as will be of use to them after graduation. She will explain the value of recreation to the students and to older people emphasizing its continued need when school attendance is a thing of the past. o SPENCER RESIGNS Tonight the wild men of the institution will meet in the big gym to tear each other limb from limb, much to the amazement or amusement of the fair young damsels and wolves of the school. The brawl will commence at 7:30 and you will be admitted to the arena for the small fee of ten cents, American money. (Canadian dough taken at the usual discount.) ' Powerful Partis and Battling Brewer will tangle in the main event for the championship of the hilltop and the privilege of staying at the girls' dormitory for six weeks— as if Brewer didn't spend most of his time there anyhow. In addition there will be four other events including Gropy Goheen and Duckem De Lancy at 140 lbs. This will be a fast bout. Cauley Flowers and Ice Berg will tangle at "Two Hearts in Waltz Time" Auditorium at 7 and 9 (Continued on Page Two) o LEAVES CITY Music Instructor Goes South Recover Health to U. of W. Regents Defer Action on Withdrawal Acceptance President M. Lyle Spencer of the University of Washington has handed his resignation to the new .board of regents. Dr. Spencer feels the board should have freedom of action at this time and that his move is for the best interests of the university. •In his resignation Dr Spencer requested that he be transferred to the English department, a position he held for a long time before taking over control of the University. The regents have not accepted the resignation and are waiting until a careful study is made. Harold B. Smith, head of the music department left by boat from Seattle Wednesday night with his wife and daughter for Palm Springs California. He will remain there until his health is better. - Palm Springs is located in the desert part of California and Mr. Smith hopes that the climate will hasten his convalescence. In the fall quarter, Mr. Smith was taken ill with slow pneumonia. His condition has improved decently, but he is not able to come back to Normal for the spring quarter as he had hoped. —'- o — STUDY TRAGEDIES M. Belle. Sperry's Classes Are to Begin Tragedies Miss Keeler Speaks on Barefoot School Boy Act over KVOS Discussing the new Barefoot School Boy act, Miss Delia Keeler, spoke over KVOS last Wednesday evening on the weekly faculty broadcast. / Miss Keeler reviewed the history of education in the state of Washington and showed the development of more satisfactory legislation in its behalf. She explained that few districts in the state are rich enough to support schools with the levies which are now permissible. Explaining the provisions and the purpose of the 1933 Barefoot Schoolboy Act, Miss keeler summarized her speech by saying: "It is the fundamental purpose of the new Barefoot Schooboy Act to fix standards for the state's and the counties' shares of the support of the common schools, and thus to preserve that equalizing principle'which has played so important a part in our educational progress; and to pass on to the children of the state their heritage; toe f ^ Members of the Shakespeare class taught by Miss M. Belle Sperry, have finished the study of Shakespeare's comedies and have begun the tragedies.

Good News From Olympia And now we've the degree bill passed! It seems impossible that the goal of so much effort has been reached. A new spirit, an undoubtedly better spirit, is saying what's to be done in the executive chambers at Olympia. Governor Martin and our friends in the legislature are to be thanked sincerely for their contribution to the improvement of the educational system of the State of Washington. But what a paradox it would be if the bill closing the three schools were to be passed. Surely a gubernatorial veto would follow the passage of such a bill. The Normal schools keep large number of people in Washington at work who would otherwise be standing in breadlines. Both the faculty and the student body of all three schools would be counted among the unemployed if the institutions should close. Washington needs its payroll. W e need our education. W e can have both! — o Assemblies Again GRANDAD DESCRIBES SPORT OF OLD DAYS Scribe Told "Muddyin"' Season Old South's Big Event Is Literary This and That Selections from Milt Gross may be all well and good for tired business men, but to present vaudeville "gags" to future teachers is an insult to the profession and a slap in th face to those present. Townsfolk who attended must have taken home very complimentary stories to the rest of the people in Bellingham concerning the excellence of our assembly programs and the intellectual level of entertainment designed to amuse those who will teach their children. Money could be saved in the school by. giving assemblies entirely over to clubs and organizations such as Mr. Hoppe's speech and play-production classes, the Drama club, and others, presenting programs of their own talent. The experience to the participating students would be of great value to them, and certainly programs superior to that of last Tuesday would be seen. The students are to be compli-mnted on the civility they showed the contralto. Not an uncouth razz-berry shook the sickly stillness after her selections. No one laughed. No one even left. There was only silence, and the impoliteness shown Prsident Fisher's slip-of-the-lip in a late assembly was redeemed. Pitying adults heard Jeannette Gause sing in the assembly, not unsympathetic children. _ o -. Bad Driveways Grandad, a rather hard and lean old Texan, who still chews snoose, and plays dominoes and in many other ways harks back to the "good old days," likes to tell about all t he pleasures he used to enjoy years ago. I like to listen to him, especially as he talks about "muddyin' ". Everyone goes "muddyin" ", for the day set for that activity is just as much a holiday for the people of the community as is the Fourth' of July, Pioneer's day or June Teenth* All available draft animals are rounded up to accompany the picnickers and when the party reaches the hunting ground—a slow-moving, shallow stream—the day's fun begins. "Poor Whites" Appreciate Holiday The recreation is not the kind of pleasure enjoyed by people who consider play a regular part of every day's program. I t is t he long-looked-for fun-fest that only hard-working "poor white" cotton farmers can appreciate. The atmosphere of the occasion is one of relaxation and intense enjoyment—a getting away for a time from the routine and t he drudgery of the back-breaking and soul-killing toil of the farms. "There is a fish-fry on today! Though tomorrow we may be working like "niggers" there's a fish-fry on "today!" Fish Are Caught with Mules and Clubs While the women and old men watch the festivities from the river bank or make the necessary preparations for lunch the boys and younger men begin to "fish." A few of them mount mules and wade them into the deep pools where the yellow "cats" are to be found, while another group of fishermen wade barelegged out into the middle of the streams with clubs. The water soon gets considerable "muddied" and the "cats" begin coming up for air. When a fish appears on the surface a fisherman clubs him, throws him up on the bank and then looks around for more victims. Occasionally a disturbed water moccasin makes the fishing more interesting and exciting. Smell Those Catfish Fryin' While the fish are being caught the women clean them and make ready for the picnic. Small boys and girls play on a swing made by. nature: a trailing grapevine. Others climb slippery elms and ride them to the ground A baby plays on a blanket under its mother's Watchful eye. (Centipedes and stinging lizards are sometimes met with in the grass.) Everyone is happy and many are singing. Why shouldn't they sing and be gay! Isn't "muddyin' " the most fun imaginable, outside that described in novels, and isn't the smell of frying catfish wonderful? The fish-fry days are gone now, for "muddyin' "has been made unlawful because it threatened to seriously deplete the number of fish in southern- rivers and creeks, but the twinkle in grandad's eye says he will always remember those "good old days" with joy. *June 19, celebrated by the southern negroes as the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. The early watermelons are just getting ripe at this time of the year. o Last week John Galsworthy, the last of the Victorian writers, and winner of the 1931 Nobel prize, died at the age of sixty-six. Galsworthy was born in Surrey, England, and was educated at Harrow and Oxford. He was admitted to the bar in 1890, but he thoroughly hated law. •":',''. He was of independent means.and for several years after he gave up his law practice he~ traveled widely and read a great deal. On one of his voyages he met Joseph Conrad and formed a fast friendship with him. Conrad had-begun to write, and he showed Galsworthy a manuscript. The latter recognized the worth of the work and advised Conrad to devote himself to writing. Thus another great author was launched on his career. -Galsworthy himself had no idea of becoming a writer, but he was encouraged to try. He was twenty-eight when he began, and he said of his first tales, "They had every4 fault." i n 1903 he commenced "A Man of Property," the frst of the Forsyte series, which occupied twenty-six years of his life and followed the Forsyte family through three generations. . . .' .• He wrote his manuscripts rapidly in a bold .hand. He corrected them extensively, making them always untidy. Galsworthy never made scenarios for his plays or outlines for his novels, and never quite knew how they were going to work out. He did not write under pressure of necessity, but waited for inspiration. In 1930 Galsworthy announced the last of the Forsyte series. "One can't keep on with that sort of thing indefinitely, especially after one has killed one's principal character." The novels "Maid in Waiting" and "Flowering Wilderness" begin the story of another family. "It may continue on to be another saga. One never knows," was Mr. Galsworthy's comment.

Evidence that Miss Catlin's work is appreciated in her community is the fact that her school has steadily grown larger. She began by teach ing the three children of two families in their homes, but when more and more mothers began sending their children to her, Miss Catlin found it necessary to look about for a new home. In the basement of a public library she now meets daily with her nine primary-grade children while well-informed and well-educated mothers instruct the pupils of the intermediate and upper grades. In addition to the usual academic subjects music, dramatics, and French are also taught. Not long ago Elizabeth Hopper, Director of the Appointment Bureau, received a letter from Miss Catlin in regard to the experiment she is undertaking at Longview. If optimism is an augury of success, then much is to be expected of Miss Catlin in the future. o STUDENTS HAVE FLU This week's list of illnesses from the nurse's office show that flu is still the main cause of absence. Jerry Robinson, Victor Iverson, Sister Mary Michael, Ann Prendergast Mrs. Corrine Longwood and Homer Siler have been out of school because of various forms of influenza.

SILL IS HIGH POINT GETTER VikingTs in Final Showing Before Local Normal Fans I n their last home game of the season, the Viking basketball team ras no match for a swift-passing, sure-shooting Ellensburg quintet and were defeated 42 to 29. The contest was played last Wednesday on the Whatcom floor. Wildcat Defense Good The Wildcats presented a close-checking defense and a puzzling offense which worked with perfect smoothness. The eastern hoopmen featured the'game with sensational floor shots coupled with their center system of "feeding" to the scorers under the basket. Ellensburg Takes Lead Ellensburg jumped into a quick lead and ran the score up to 12-2. Bellingham retaliated however with Rork Moser, Nolte, and Clint Mc- Beath doing the work to make the score 10-7. Ellensburg looped a long one as did Malcolm McBeath for the local five. The easter^i team came back to sink two more beautiful shots which were immediately followed by a field goal by Moser. The Wildcats made two more baskets to run the score to 20-11 as the half ended. Wildcats Open Up Rork opened the second round by scoring for Bellingham. Ellensburg looped a field goal. Clint McBeath also scored. The Wildcat retaliated with another goal, followed by foul shots by M. McBeath, C. McBeath, Nolte, and a free throw by Ellensburg, to run the score to 25- 18. The eastern boys got hot and sank three field goals in rapid succession Rork counted for the Vikings, followed by three more long ones and a foul shot by Ellensburg. Score 38-20 Moser made good on a free throw and C. McBeath swished the cords for a long one. Nolte connected a foul shot to make the score board read 38-24. The Wildcats repeated, as did McNeill with a field goal, and Moser with a foul shot. The eastern hoopmen sank their last field goal. Rork closed the game with a goal for Bellingham. Score 42-29.

This season's Inter-school hoop league is about the most gore-thirsty regiment of fat rascals that the school has witnessed in years. It looks like the former Baron, Charles Gable and his Garden Terrace crooners have a strangle-hold on the championship cup (Mrs. Baughman says that any of the boys can down three in a row without cream or sugar). Oh, well, we can't all be presidents, so just take it with a grain of sugar and a drop of milk, it's better that way anyhow. The boys' play basketball under the title of Viking Manor but that's alright. Folks, you missed the biggest game of the season the other day when the Varsity and the JayVees held an afternoon turnout 'at the Sandison Studios.

"An easy conversational but business-like and direct Coach Sam Carver says that with the first track meet scheduled with Ellensburg on April 29, the cinder turnouts will get earnestly under way next month. The last game on the basketball schedule will be played next week, and with the advent of good weather, the more eager boys will be out on the track the following week going thru their limbering-up paces. It's no secret that right now, the prospects for a high class squad of cinder artists have never been any brighter. This quarter there is a wealth of veteran, material in the school, and most of the men plan to return in the Spring. Sprinters Hot In the sprints, Normal will have Schilaty the best century man in the minor colleges of the state, and Chuck Thomas, who can usually be" counted on to finish a race in the one of the point-winning places. Prospects are not too bright in the middle distance runs but Johnny Stiger, Bob Hall, Bob Becken and Johnny Christy will be on hand while Albee, the county high school half-mile champion from Whatcom, will give the veterans a little competition. Topped by Johnny Gable, trinomial champion the Vikings will have a quartet of nifty broad jumpers which will include Howard Was-ley, Lee Williams and Dutch McBeath, a newcomer who will also see action in high jumping. Pearl, a classy broad-jumper from Lynden, is also figured on in this event. Pole-Vaulters Good Davey Jones and Posey Flowers can be counted on to take two places in the pole-vault against almost any competition that we shall encounter. Normal will be short on hurdle artists but Sam has received word that Jim Davis one of the very best hurdle men Normal has had in recent years, is contemplating returning to school next quarter Lew Lovegren, Brink Brinkman and Jo Johanhsen, a letterman in the mile who has sent word that he will probably come back, will be on hand to give the Vikings some high-powered materials in the distance runs. Many Javelin Throwers In the throwing division of the field events such potent performers as Berg, in the weights and javelin. Kemphaus, a last year's spear-tos-ser, and Temple who formerly threw the javelin at C. P. S., will aid Normal in gathering in the points. All of these boys, added to new men who are in school but of unknown quality, should develop into the formation of a first-class track team. '.Ah3:Nikfi Non-Run Stockings Without the Mesh!

It all goes to prove that love is a wonderful thing—even if there is no good in men. FUTURISTIC TREND WDLL BE IN EVIDENCE AS STUDENTS GATHER AT CLEVER DANCE. DEL SMITH CHAIRMAN What would college be if there werer rib boys who could play banjos? One of my happiest college memories will be of sitting around a room; parked on a pillow, with the air so full of smoke that it could be sent home parcel post, and some body playing a banjo and the rest of us harmonizing. The capacity for good fellowship which is engendered by such sessions in rooms on the third floor back, is one of the things which lasts long after the knowledge of the glory which once was Greece has faded into the dim recesses of an unused memory. College is a happy period of life, if one will make it so. I'd rather be able to be happy than to have a long face and understand three consecutive words of eight syllables each. So I'll probably never amount to anything, but who cares? Is that dragon showing any signs of becoming deceased, Ing? Last week I gave the Mens Club special investigating committee a lot of questions to answer. I wonder what it did with them. If the committee is still engaged in its investigations of the nefarious or laudible (take your choice) administration of the $2 quarterly health fee, it might also be referred to the last copy of the governor's budget, which, under the detail of Normal school expenditures, shows the president's estimate of receipts from this' fund, and the requests made to the stale for health department funds and for what purposes. This may shed a bit of authentic light on the question which, may it ever be remembered, was raised for a point of information only. Let me suggest thai a copy of the report of the committee be given upon completion to The Viking for publication. Despite the rapidity with which the discussion concerning it became extinct, it is not a dead issue yet. CENSORED. If this colyum ever had a, policy, one plank in the platform would be that no poetry was to be printed, but if I write it (I mean the poetry), why of course that a girl in a different— er, ah, fur coat. Also, to win the support of the Women's Christian Temperance (why don't they call it Abstinence) Union, a temperance lecture would go good here. This shows the baleful effects of one glass of beer. (Sorry to steal your thunder, Mr. Greaves) Unlimited pleasure is promised for all the freshmen and the sophomore boys who come to the Freshman Futuristic Frolic at 8:30 tomorrow night in the big gymnasium. Color Emphasized For the special benefit of the sophomore girls and as the "next best thing" for those who are unable to attend the party, the committee has arranged for trie darice music of Kibble's Viking Pirate orchestra to go on the air over Bellingham KVOS from 10 to 11 p. m. Del Smith reports that all the plans have materialized as expected and that the frosh party will be everything it has been "cracked up" to be in the publicity it has already been given. ^ Color has been blended in the most ultra-modern manner in the decorations as planned and designed by Edith Jenkins. There will be literally miles of serpentine to get tangled up in, and soft colored lights will be focused on the wall and ceiling decorations. Punch and all colored cookies will be served for refreshments. All students must have tickets to attend the dance. These will be on sale on the main landing during the noon hour today. All who have not paid their dues must do so before getting a ticket. Everyone is urged to wear and display as much color in their clothes as they can. Informal clothes are in order and fancy colored sweaters and dresses are what the committee approves. Even loud neckties are not taboo. The futuristic posters that have been on display in the main hall this week were designed and drawn by Wynn Haws. The Board of Control held its weekly meetifig Tuesday at 11 o'clock instead of Monday during the noon period. The Boiird, discussed trie sending of a delegate to the Pacific Northwestern Student Conference, to be held November 28 and 29 at Reed College hi Portland. It was decided to refer the matter to the student body. By a vote of the Boardj the regular weekly Monday meeting was changed to Tuesday at 4 o'clock. Mary McDonald was chosen chairman or a committee to plan the quarterly Board party. —' •—'—o—'——— Three Local Library Staff Members Are At Reniort Meeting Dream Train Starts WDLSON, GEORGE, AND DOTY GO TO DISTRICT GATHERING MISS AMY H.

The club met at an informal tea in the Women's League club room. Miss Jones, who is division assistant of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was here in the interest of the International Mind Alcoves, which have been estab lished by the Endowment in the public library of this city. The Carnegie Endowment have equipped one hundred and fifty-six libraries in cities and towns in the United States with these International Mind Alcoves. Their purpose is to aid readers in gaining a wider knowledge of the peoples of the world and to "stimulate an international mind". The books placed in these alcoves are chosen from the most recent publications . that bear upon art, customs, the culture and the government of foreign nations and peoples. Miss Jones is also executive secretary of the international Relations clubs. At present she is particularly interested in establishing International Relation clubs in col leges and universities throughout the United States. The purpose of these clubs is to unite thestudents of the world in "closer understanding arid friendship. '.;;•, Members of our club who heard Miss Jones speak agreed that she possessed a charming personality: a n d l r i e n d s h^ Members of our ciub whp heard Miss Jones speak agreed that she possessed a charming personality. Th^y; were greatly impressed with her^aifc;^;^^^ Miss Mable Zoe Wilson, Miss Lillian George and Miss Beatrice Doty are attending the meeting of the Northwestern District Library Association, held at Renton, Washington, today. . The certification of the school librarians, teachers taking care of school libraries, and the county library law'will;-be discussed at this meeting. Four Districts in Association The state of Washington is divided into four districts, Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast, Bellingham is located in the Northwest district, which also includes the following counties: King, Kitsap, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom. Each district has a special library association, composed of librarians who give their time to the study of school and public libraries. County Library Law Miss Wilson States: "If the county library law goes into effect it will be most beneficial to teachers. At present there are no centralized book resources in the state and teachers run into many difficulties in obtaining books for their schools. "There is not one student in the Bellingham Normal school that will not be confronted with the library problem during the first week spent at school. "There are many things focusing right now, through this association, in order to insure work facilities for future teachers." Committee to Report During the past year, a committee was appointed to make a survey of the library situations over the state. This committee is to give its report at the meeting today and Miss Wilson says: "The re suits of this investigation may be very illuminating.!' They will be printed in next week's issue of The Viking. -o—' • . Second of Concerts To Be Given Monday (Editorial) - Nearly three weeks ago from gathering mists emerged a dreami train that had a tendency to travel despite the ties, rails, wheels, and engine that were cast from weak PROBABILITY metal. The track started from The Northwest Viking office arid continued as far as the eye could ascertain in the direction of the Normal of tomorrow. There was a dinky engine, an empty fuel car, a freight car, and two day coaches. One of these criaches held the vision of a blue and white clad 35 piece Normal pep band; the other was empty. The editor jumped into the day coach, arid amid his lonely surroundings proceeded to type eut an article calling for a band, and when he had finished he had the fuel that barely started the train for soriie way off destination. The whole trend of thought was to gradually build up a student band, under the guidance of the music departriierit arid school officials. This editorial appeared in the October 31 issue. The train was just coming to a halt when Harold B. Srnith, of the music department arid leader of the Bellingham Little Symphony, hopped aboard, donned an engineer's outfit, arid brought the train up to the first station to wait for passengers. Last year considerable interest was manifested in a pep band that was initiated by students and carried through entirely by them. There was a noted co-operation, individual dependability, and a desire to serve the school with the best Peppers obtainable under the handicapped circumstances, that afforded material for the present band hopes. There are a number of facts to be found out before the plan can (Continued on Page. Two) FISHER WILL ARRIVE DURING THANKSGIVING •, President-C.H.. Fisher, who has been absent from school for several weeks, will be horrie Thanksgiving Day, according to word received by Miss Roseanria McQuesten, his secretary. President Fisher will spend this week-end at Washington, D. C, where he will attend the Child Health Conference at the White House. This meeting was called by President Herbert Hoover, who appointed a committee to investigate the problems of child health. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 November 14 - Page 2 ---------- ;;fP^S||i2 vfe'i ifePiS!

It is necessary to find out: 1. How many students are interested in founding the organization. (Men and women.) 2. How many have had musical experience. "~~~~ 3. How many wish to take up such work under faculty supervision. ( 4. How many instruments are available. There are a number of phases and tangents, many of which conflict, affiliated with the freight being carried by the dream train. It is hoped that some plan ;can be devised to collect the necessary instruments that will be lacking to start with. There may be some who are interested that will purchase instruments, while far fetched hopes list the possibility of a certain amount owned by the school. However,, when it comes to the problem of financing, regardless of the purchasing of instruments, the band may strike an insurmountable obstacle. ' Paul J. Lusterman, faculty teacher of band music, is being figured in as an.aide to Smith. There is some question, though, as to how this will fit into the faculty requirements and work. Mr. Smith stated this week: "I hope that some means will be devised to find out if there is enough interest concerned to put the proposition to President Fisher when he returns. I will give all the help I can, and am hoping that an organization can be started this winter quarter." It is planned to start the band now and gradually build it up, within a few years, to being the pride of Normal school activities. There is one point with the band, that being that the three year requirements will give the instructor time to train the inexperienced. . In all probability a class credit will be given, and the practices will be held during a regular required period. It is up to the students to turn the PROBABLE into the REAL. It is being fostered by The Viking and Smith, solely because it is a worthy item that will ultimately be necessary when the school has reached the peak of its endeavors to make this one of the leading educational institutions of the country. This is one of the most constructive measures that have been put before the students in some time. It is for their benefit, as well as their posterity. It is something for them to work out and call their own, yet they will receive strong support from the necessary faculty if they show the proper attitude and spirit. The whole issue now depends on its start from the students. If nothing is done immediately, the whole dream train will be taken off the run and the tracks torn up without further publicity. NO BRIBES . Once again the Sophomore class at the University of Washington lias started a contest to determine the man with the championship beard. In fact, there will be several champs, as there are various divisions within the race for the different beards raised. The contest will last a month and will end November 25.' On the final day the contestants will line up before a committee of co-eds who will pick the winners. This will be one contest where pergonal favoritism won't affect the judges' decisions, as it is a known fact that the pretty co-eds will be unable to recognize the relief map that lies beneath the bearded forests. And, what's more, we assure any girls dancing with the men competing that tweezers are the best remedy. Exactly at 6:55:10 o'clock the receiver was taken; from the hoo^ on the telephone in the offices of The Northwest Viking office Monday evening, and the new night service was inaugurated. Heretofore The Viking room has not been plugged into any of the four trunk lines used after five in the evening. After several attempts to have these connections made, a. lineman arrived on the scene Monday morning and the work was soon completed on the most used night phone in the main building. The crowds milled about the press rooms on the second floor, inside of which were the paper officials. Eddie Serwalt placed the first call at exactly 6:55 and ten seconds later he was talking to Kate Cerrocki The Viking co-ed. chosen to be on the other end of the dedication. The sound was picked tip by'a "mike" and relayed to the crowds outside. The conversation, which was started from The Viking office", was Carried on as follows: "Hello, can you hear me?" "Yes, quite plain." . • __ "Well, I can hear you, too." "The Viking is certainly to be complimented on its new service, and the workmen should be commended for their great accomplishment in making this achievement possible." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." Student Conference At Portland College It has not as yet been decided whether or not our school will send a delegation to the Students' International Conference at Reed's College, Portland. Quentin Quick, student body president, stated that the question would probably be decided in today's assembly. If a delegation is sent, it will be chosen 'either by a^ faculty committee or by the International Relations Club. Probably two students will make up the delegation. Miss Amy Hemingway Jones, who was a guest of the International Relations Club on Monday after noon, is to be one of the speakers at the conference. The purpose of the conference is to increase interest in the study of international questions. Problems arising out of conditions in the countries in the Pacific area will especially interest the conference. Last Tuesday in assembly we; /Were celebrating P^eafe. We looked expectantly toward The day when wa^rs will cease,rf Then we swallowed up "The Cop- -:, ,perhead" Like a flock of hungry geese. The Dean pro tern enjoined us to Intelligent consideration. She hinted that we held the key To international salvation; That we must think and not emote, And advocated toleration. Our Normal audience, we're told, • I s t quite sophisticated. Our minds. have made us hooey-proof, Our feelings armor-plated. We are the upper five per cent, We are the EDUCATED. There rose before this great array Of gems, of mental rubies, An actor skilled in swaying crowds With wild dramatic hooeys; We acted like the foremost row At ten-cent, Western movies. I grieve to see the students as They fall before the glamour Of some appeal emotional; I hate to see them clamor For stuff which won't provoke a thought, And gooey "mellerdrammer^" The Training School assembly was Also on Tuesday's bills. They gave a war-prevention skit Which hadn't any frills. ' The kids got food for thought, but we. Got nationalistic thrills. Oh, why do we, the 'fore ordained, The Mental Aristocracy, The Intellectual Uppercrust, Of this here now Democracy, y Embrace with such moronic zest This super-sold hypocrisy. This spirit is the same one which Has kept the trenches f ulL It makes it simple thus to keep Their eyes beneath the wool. Oh, heaven help us with our schools In hands so gullible. Such actions you might well expect From brainless, dumb carousers; But watch our A and B—I. Q.'s, Be they in skirts or trousers, They'll sway like aspen trees before These skillful "rabble-rousers." I sigh to see such genius gripped By patriotic thermo-tension. "In education lies our hope," But- this is my sincere contention That such reactions look .to me Decidedly like Peace-Prevention. U.OFW. SPONSORS The~ University of Washington is sponsoring an essay contest in order to arouse widespread interest in Simon Bolivar, the great South American statesman and patriot. It is believed that more should be known about this great liberator of half a continent. On rfecember 17, 'the hundredth anniversary of the death of Simon Bolivar will be commemorated. ••'.;. s'rHO'iq.^ The subject of the'essay must have some bearing l%ijpn the life, character, or achievements of Simon Bolivar as statesman, soldier, orator, and patriot, or the significance of his many activities ih: the history of the New World. ' 'Vl : -All essays submitted mustvbe typewritten and in/the hands of the committee b y December 1. The papersvmay either be written in Spanish or English. The length of the essay should be from 2000 to 2500 words. All Normal students are eligible to the contest. Medals and other prizes have been solieited from various Spanish- American governments and historical societies. • The Spanish essays will be read by three distinguished Spanish- Americans; those in English will be judged by committees of instructors of history and, languages. .• gt; LIBRARY RECREATION Two bookcases in the library have been set aside in the general reading room, near the door, for recreational reading. This is a new policy and will be permanent from now on. Miss Mable Zoe Wilson wishes the students to watch these bookcases and notify the reference librarian of any books they would like to read. These books are placed here for recreational reading only, because the librarian considers'^ that "All work and no play" is a bad policy. . 0" "••'•'• -'.- IOC WHY NOT DANCE AFTER THE SHOW? ATTHE Mt.

A win would mean a triple tie for the Normal championship. wsragimm We should be proud of the show-ihg our team made a week ago in the Tacoma stadium, when they tied the College of Puget Sound 0-0. Most of the so-called football critics from the base of Sehome predicted a 20-0 score, but they figured without reckoning with the new fight the boys seem to have acquired lately. G. P. S. was beaten by the university team 60-0. That makes us only sixty points lower than Jimmie Phelan's first Washington team. Now, wasn't that a startling con elusion? BY VIKING SQUAD OPPONENTS A R E SURPRISED BY NORMALITE STRENGTH.^ LINE HOLDS WELL After the game Saturday, football will be put on the shelf in this school for another season, and a lot of boys will have to think up another excuse for not getting their lessons. Oh, well, basket ball is right in the wind now, but, after all, is there any sport as grand as dear old football? - I wonder if Dutch Wilder will be back for his eighth year of student coaching next year? The first cut in basket ball left only seventeen men out of the thirty- eight that answered the first call. Sam, is still looking for material though, and invites every man in school to take a try at it. Looking over the list that survived the cut, I saw names of high school stars and a few veterans from last year's squad. The men now out and the football men that will turn out next week are having friendly quarrels concerning "How the strong football men will strengthen up the squad." Well, we shall see. "Every man in school on some team of basket ball," is the motto adopted by gt;\~ the Athletic Council, and an intramural schedule is to be drawn up to find the champions of the school. Several teams have already shown their intention of joining the league. Among them are teams from the Kitchen Krew, Men's Club, Thespians', Vanadis Bragi, Alley Cats; Co-ops, Philos, and several of the boys' halls. That is a good start, but more are wanted. If you are not on one, organize one yourself and let Carver know about it, and he will tell you when you can use. the gym' to practice. Isn't that— a swell black eye Bill Thompson is sporting—a. beaner of a shoe brush on Les Vdris' Up—too bad that Fairhaven lost the Armistice game --too bad that they are still hollering about the right of the score-too bad that so many of the Normal students lost money on the game— terrible that the editor of this column, can't find news enough to fill the line. Lastf ^Saturday a fighting Blue and -White team tied the powerful C/P. S. gridders 0-0. It was a hard fought game with the Vikings given no chance with the big Red and White team. The Vikings, however, gave C. P. S. the scare of the season. The game started with the locals kicking off. Shelton made a beautiful kick deep into the opponents' territory. Baker, star Sound fullback, received the ball back of his own goal and was just nicely under way when Moultray, a Blue and White tackle, nailed him, putting the ball on Tacoma's ten yard line. Weicking, College quarter, confident his team could advance, called three plays before he kicked. The Vikings were playing hard football from the opening gun. On the fourth down they kicked to Brinkman, Vik ing safety, who received the ball on the 40 yard line, returning it to the 30. Then the first Viking invasion got under way. Pldwers and Iverson crashed over tackle for several gains, advancing the bail to the 10 yard line. Here the Red and White de fense stiffened and they fought bravely and stopped a Normal score by inches. The ball then changed hands. C. P. S. kicked out of danger, but Brinkman couldn't handle the punt, which was finally grounded on the Normal's 30 yard line. The Blue and White again started f or. a touchdown, but without success. The first quarter ended with the ball in the Red and White team's territory, where it had been most of the time. The second quarter was characterized by a brilliant Puget Sound offensive and stubborn Viking de fense. The Normal forward wall, with its back to the goal, fought like mad and succeeded in holding for three downs, putting the ball a few inches from a touchdown. The C. P. S. quarter called his powerful fullback, Baker, to drive over the locals^ line. He was stopped in mid-air by the stubborn Viking line and C. P. S. failed to score. Normal kicked out of danger and the rest of the first half was a see-saw affair. The second half started with the Vikings receiving. Early in this period the Normal again threatened to score, only to have its hopes shattered by the stubborn defense of their opponents. At the beginning of the fourth quarter both teams began to open up. C. P. S. sent a barrage of passes into the Viking defense. Two ten yard passes were completed before Hopkins, Normal center, intercepted one to stop the rally; The Normal's last drive promptly started, with Iverson, Flowers and Wilder advancing the ball to the seven yard line. Here the Vikings were again stopped. It was late in the game when BasketMi^^iiail Is - • Reduced to Eighteen We Are Always Glad to Serve You at YOUR Normal CAFETERIA TYPEWRITER RENTALS L. C.

With the addition of the best players that it could muster, the women's team was considerably stronger in this game. Coaches Dixon and Carboneau used up all reserves in an attempt to stem the tide of Blue and White that swept down the field for goals. But, with Flo Goodman, Bernice Gnagey, and Sig-red Wiberg in the forward line, the boys were powerless to aid in any way. 0 MILLER APPOINTED Ralph Miller, class of '30, has received a teaching position in the upper grades of an Aberdeen school. 0 INTRAMURAL SOON -Sam; Carver Snhouriced today that basketball between different clubs and organizations would :begin soon.

Positions. for YELL T E AM PERFORMS y / Prepare yourselves for a little pollyanic drivel. The writer, the same as most everybody else, has had some mighty low moments lately. This so-called "depression" is apt to get anybody down and when you are at your lowest ebb someone comes along with this "D. L. D." spirit and you feel you'd like to knock 'em into the middle of next week, until you finally, grudgingly let yourself see the bright side and well, gosh, things aren't half so dark. After all, if you've got your health and someone in this world who loves you and who cares, you can get an awful lot of happiness out of this old world if you just go at it right. "Money talks" •^-sure it does—just cries right out loud at times like these, but we all know of a rich man today all of whose wealth can't buy health! And gt;we know of a few men of plenty 4$vho leads a lonely, loveless life. And 'Allah! When I hear a group of ^oung whipper-snappers standing in the corner of a classroom, expensive texts under their arms, dressed in the best, groaning about the cruelty of this world to young college boys and that lessons are nothing but a kick in the pants, I feel like taking them down to Seattle' and showing them the bread-lines there —widowed . women endeavoring to support a brood of youngsters on nothing and, well, you know what times are . . . Someone told me not long ago, "Remember, there, is sunshine just around the corner." Now I always prided myself on being a fairly good weather prophet and we usually see a break-up in the clouds before we see sunshine—so, I'm waiting for the break-up . . . . here's a happy thought . . . think how, years later you'll be able to glance down with a paternal air and tell the younger generation how yon lived through a world depression.

Whether to have it one hour or two hours in length, whether to have it in the evening or in the afternoon, and where to have it. The problem, however, was left undecided,' except that the secretary will take charge at the door during rec hour. During the summer quarter a double rec hour was held one evening a week. Bands to Tryout It was decided that orchestra try-. outs would be held at rec hour this afternoon.' At least two orchestras are expected to try out and the students will be given a chance to vote for the one who will take the position permanently.

Aurora Third Honor The Fairhaven Aurora, which has been entered in the contest since 1925, has received the All-American designation for the past three years. This year's book, edited, by Lydia . Auvil, was especially commended for' the original way in which its "movie" idea was worked out. It received a total of 980 points out of a possible 1000.

Last year the policy of withholding the paper on election Fridays until the results could be included was inaugurated. This we did with this issue, and in addition delayed the appearance in order to include the results of the class elections. We are grateful to President Fisher for giving us permission to deviate from our usual policy and get the results to you "hot off the press." AT YOUR SERVICE Anything to please, but rescuing fair maidens from roaring dragons is our specialty. THE VlKING will go down in history as a hero as far as one girl is concerned. A VlKING reporter, armed only with the date of the finals in the state Atwater Kent radio contest, set out to capture a story from Doris Huston, Normal student and winner of the local contest. Miss Huston had received no notice of the date of the finals and when informed by the reporter that they were to be that very evening, Tuesday; from radio station K-O-M-O, in Seattle, she hastily phoned the contest manager and verified the report. Furthermore, she departed for Seattle immediately and represented Bellingham in th state finals of the contest. We wish Doris the best of luck in the contest and hope she brings home the bacon in the form of first prize for the state. NOT SO SPEEDY No speeding! Didn't we hear someone warn us about that the other day; and aren't there 15-mile an hour signs posted at the entrance to the school parking yard? Yes, we think so. But they are absolutely superfluous under present conditions. If any one drove over that road 15 miles an hour he'd be sans springs, sans car, sans nonchalance. What a predicament. Couldn't something be done about those chuck holes? N O R M ^ J U N I O R M I K I N G S TO MEET R O O s l v E LT IN 4 i R M. G A M E TODAY TOOT, TOOT, HERE W E COME We think we have an exceptional staff lined up for this quarter on THE VlKING. Eight of our old timers are back to help us out and we have the largest beginning journalism class in years. Most of these new students, besides, have had experience in high school. With this staff we hope to be able to at least maintain the standards set by T H E VlKING in former years and to publish a paper that will do honor to Bellingham Normal. J QJ, Congratulations are now in order. We salute you, Fairhaven and Whatcom high schools. The Ail-American "rating your annuals, the Aurora and Kulshan, have both received from the National Scholastic Press association is indeed an honor. We know how proud you must be, and we in turn are proud for you, and proud also-that some of the staff members of your publications are now students in our school. We are pleased with your honors and wish you continued success. Normal Library Is Point of Call for Modern Odysseus A book was once written about the travels of a man in a measly little boat, who took in several points of interest and at once became a hero. Another hero enters! He is a modern Odysseus who takes in points of interest in and about the massive expanse of the Normal school! A.portion of his diary follows: "Took in the library today. Egad! What a building! It is very full of dimmed lights, stained windows, and much silence! As for myself, I liked the floors because they made such quaint and distinctive noises under my dainty ten-androne-halves! (at which I received such looks as to send numerous shivers coursing down the part of my, anatomy called the spinal column). ''There were many\ books, (the number neared one million, I do believe) but they did me little good, because some scurvy knave had approached before me and had hidden the object of my search so securely that I grew, exhausted after the eleventh round and retired to a near-by chair to do a little extensive concentrating. "The hall, to my immediate chagrin, was as hard to stand on as is a banana peel, and before I could say two words of singular simplicity my feet took the place my head had formerly occupied and I seated myself neatly but with a resounding thud which brought forth many sympathetic onlookers to the floor! It took me not longer than one minute and three seconds to vacate from the spot and start toward the door with many blushes and embarrassed smiles. But, woe is me, my room-mate was among those present and he did start many a wild howl of laughter! Forthwith, I was jeered at mightily! Egad ? What an experience! But I have heard tell that in such schools of highly organized intellect a person should be fully prepared for such situar tions!" The long yellow fingers of the late summer sun are lingering with a strange but ardent caress on the hill and the valleys. There is a reluctance Mn that touch like an organist loath to leave his melody on the lips of the organ. Sir Thomas Lipton, romantic sport-loving, prince of the world's good fellows, is dead. *__o__* He has set his sails and started on his final voyage "outward bound". ; * Q * - Flag half mast, quarter master! * o * If you want to read something modern yet sweet enough to preserve some of your illusions, read Warwick Deeping—"Kitty", TRop-ers' Row" and, if you haven't before, by all means read "Sorrel and Son". • Q * Warwick Deeping has a way of telling you that all life is good in spite of it's sordidness. He hasn't bene bitten by this modern bug. • Q V Because we were friends I loved the rain; the stormy sky was exciting and the wind sent tingling blood to my heart. * o * And then one day I hated rain; it's pitter-patter drove me mad—the stormy sky was a grey mood and the wind was only a lonely moan because we were no longer friends. * _ Q _ * A Chinese philosopher once said, "Good words will gain you honor in the market place, but good deeds will gain you friends among men! * P * Speaking of friends—what a divine gift friendship is—a treasure given us to guard and keep bright with the fires of our hearts. * Q * Captain Dobbsie, the radio man, has enumerated in his book published by the Shell Oil people all the things he loves—all the sweet human lovely things such as ginger cookies in a brown..

BEIXINC5HAM, WASHINGTON FOOTBAIi FINDINGS HOPES FOR BIG YEAR STRENGTHENED AS BUTTERCUPS LOSE We have lots of good comments to make this week, but there are several things of an unpleasant'nature that- we wish to get off our chest first. We asked a distinterested observer what she thought of last Saturday's football game. The answer was uncomplimentary. Here it is, "I like football as football, not the kind up here." Now, we did not like that remark, because we believe Sam Carver is turning out a real team, so we asked the individual to qualify. Which she did with the following remark, "Well, I don't care, I dislike unsportsman-ship. When a gentleman was hurt, and another time when a gentleman left the field the entire crowd booed—not just the small boys, but the NORMAL STUDENTS!" Of course, the fact that the individual is judging the football team by the booing of the crowd is immaterial. The fact is, we did boo! How, we happened to be interested in the line of thought suggested by the disinterested person so we consulted last week's Sunday Herald and discovered the following: "The crowd, principally Normal students, hooed the Buttercups on several occasions when penalties were imposed for unnecessary roughness." We believe we owe the Buttercups! an apology. Normal Team Is Handicapped By Playing Against Heavier Team. THREE TEAMS USED Athletic Manager's note: "We need some of the fellows who don't have anything to do Saturday morning— no ay, but lots of credit and fun. See you on the field." It looks like a big year for the Vikings. This statement was verified last Saturday afternoon on Waldo field when Coach Sam Carver and his 1931 football team out-, played and outclassed the Belling-ham Buttercups tto the tune of 19-0. The Normalites were handicapped by playing against an older and heavier outfit who knew their football, but apparently hadn't any training in social ethics, or football ethics either, and consequently received setback after setback. They were penalized enough times for roughing, holding, and arguing to win an ordinary football game. First Quarter Scoreless The game opened up with Normal kicking off. During the first quarter the Buttercups held the ball but were losing practically all they gained through penalties. The Vikings threatened once during this period but lost the ball on a fumble near the six-yard line. Line-up Changed In the second quarter Coach Carver changed his entire line-up. Mar-tinolich, of the Buttercups, then made the most sensational run of the game, when he returned a punt sixty-four yards only to FOOTBALL RESULTS Santa Clara, 0; Stanford, 6.

FIVE NEW MEN OUT VIKINGS MEET NAVY ON WALDO TOMORROW (Continued from Page One) ment last year with the visitors but managed to drop them 13-6. Advance dope shows that the Navy has added several new names to its players' roster. Added strength plus a year's experience means simply that the Navy are p-1-e-n-t-y tough. Starting Lineup Unsettled Coach Carver has been having a have it little difficulty ironing out the rag- Cheney Normal had a pep band, a yell-leader, and an enthusiastic crowd for their opening game— that's why they get so far. Bel-lingham Normal had a , a , and an for their opening game. But we will get there, regardless. We look forward to games, we see games, and we recall games. When we were looking forward to iQst.Saturdjayjs. game. We ^ made, certain predictions {extremely unwise). As we watched the game: we became aware that our predictions Were grossly inaccurate. As We recall the game we wish we had started our journalistic career today. According to us the score was to be 2 2 to 6, instead, it was 19 to 0. Folks, we beg your pardon! Our next weeks offering iss We will beat the Coast Guard by at least 49 to 0. According to "Maple Barks", last i week, "The other day we saw a little nigger boy peering into an ash can in a back alley. His face was a 'wistful black pansy hanging over the edge of that ash. can." By all reason, Maple Barks, what ni , were you doing down in an ash can in a back alley? The Vikings were gifted with a couple of good teams. As demonstrated last week, either one of them was plenty capable of ,giving any team trouble. This past week has been spent in breaking down those two teams and on the foundation rebuilding a greater, more potential team with plenty of reinforcement. When this team goes into action against the Coast Guard tomorrow you will see a team of university caliber. Donavan and Harris are fighting it out at quarterback. Donavan is a harder plugger than Harris, and is better at blocking. Harris is, however, a better field judge and seems to be better at pass defense. So far they are a toss-up. called back for holding. Normal then intercepted a pass on the 45-yard line, made a first down, then Harris heaved a beautiful pass to Flint, who scampered unmolested for a touchdown. The third quarter was practically a repetition of the first. Carver started the half with a complete new team. The Buttercups threatened late in this period when they advanced the ball to the five-yard line, where they fumbled the ball. Three Teams Used In the fourth quarter the Vikings again changed line-ups, this time using a mixed team, and a back-field that seemed to click like veterans. . It,, was ..composed of--Sinko, Williams, Harris and A. Smith. This combination scored two touchdowns and converted for the extra point. Harris passed to Sinko for one touchdown and the extra point and sneaking through the line for the other six points. Pete Staggs and Joe Martinolich looked good on the offense for the Buttercups, while Sperry on, the line broke up plenty of the Viking's plays. The small crowd continually booed the Buttercups for their rough and unsportsmanlike tactics. All the Vikings squad showed promise of developing into a strong aggregation. On the offense, Flowers, Sinko, Williams, Harris, showed up exceedingly well. Lineups ^ Normal—Cox and Hogile, ends; Turner and Sutton, tackles; Faulkner and Christie, guards; Berg, center; Donovan, quarter; Shelton and Flowers, halves; Iverson, full. Substitutes — Whipple, McLean, Comfort, Flint, Smith, Williams, Sinko, Harris, Dinton, Mallahan, Morley, Moultray, McLean, Collier, Loomis, Peterson, Gisberg, Smith, Cook, Allen, Charlesworth. Buttercups—B. Staggs and Campbell, ends; Winterburn and Chamberlain, tackles; Sperry and Visin-tiner, guards; Gibb, center; Martinolich, quarter; Cranke and Bise, halves; P. Staggs, full. Substitutes —Hansen, Herley, Fraser, Dix. Len Anstett, referee; D. O. E. Radcliffe, referee; Bill Osborn head linesman. ged spots in the backfield but will nrjSbably have two backfields to use if necessary. "As yet I have not been able to choose my first-string men from the squad turning out," Coach Carver stated yesterday, "but the tentative lineup for the game Saturday will probably include Harris, quarter; Donovan and Sinko, halfbacks; Williams, fullback; Berg, center; Faulkner and Comfort, guards; Sutton and Turner, tackles; Cox and Hogile, ends." He also stated that Roy Abbott, crack end from last year's squad, would probably not see action in thte game. A bad charliehorse has kept Abbott on the sidelines for the past, two weeks, but proper care should put him into shape for the Pacific Lutheran College game, there, next Friday. First-year men «with better blocking, punting and passing are holding the limelight for the present, but with a week or so more practice Coach Carver should have two and perhaps three backfields of nearly equal strength. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 October 9 - Page 4 ---------- ^^P^^lliilSI^WSBSiBWiW ^^S^S^'Sil'IfP^i'rtiK ••'-{ 'M ^§v§W^WMW^ffi*ffi*ffifW$$ ^AsmtGtdti WktEmRMAL scHcfeClE i^^^ WOMEN'S KID PARTY FROLICSOME AFFAIR Girls Dance and Make Merry at Annual Get-Together.

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

"• "';' BUSINESS OFFICE CHANGES SYSTEM Grades to be Sent to Students of Twenty-one or Less Beginning this quarter the business office presents, a new system of issuing grades. Students under the age of 21 will have grades mailed to their homes as before while those 21 years of age and" over will apply at the Business Office the first week of each following quarter. Registration is simplified by keeping all grades earned previously to date on a grade card. Summer quar ter grades will be mailed to all students. Students returning in the fall must bring their grade cards with them for registration. A small charge will be made if a student loses his grade card or fails to return it at registration. o Principals Meet Dr. Upshall Discusses the Stanford Achievement Tests Yesterday evening in the Bellingham hotel, Dr. C. C. Upshall, of the Research bureau, addressed a group of Bellingham school principals on the results of certain achievement tests that have been given to first and third grade children in the city schools. Dr. Upshall discussed the Stanford achievement test, which the third grade pupils took in October of this year, and the Kuhlman-An-derson test, which was taken at the same time by the children in the first grade. He also, took up the results of a first grade reading test given last May. : 0 LECTURER HERE Chamberlain to Discuss Experiences in Soviet Russia Next Friday's assembly will feature a lecture by William Henry Chamberlain, author, lecturer, and traveler who has just returned from Russia by way of London, where he has been for the past ten years. Mr. Chamberlain was given a cordial reception by a large audience when he addressed the Royal Institute of International Relations in London recently. At the close of his address his hearers crowded about the platform and plied him with questions about Russia for a full hour. Mr. Chamberlain began work on the Philadelphia Ledger immediately after he was graduated from Haver-ford college in 1917, and has been actively interested in journalism ever since. He spent a number of years in Russia as correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor. o BAREFOOT SCHOOLBOY MEASURE IS DISCUSSED Artist to Appear "Musical Journeys" Presented by Maier in Concert. Provisions of the new "Barefoot School Boy" bill were presented at the faculty forum meeting by President C. H. Fisher, Tuesday afternoon, January 17. The purpose of this bill is to make for greater statewide equalization of common school support. It is designed to provide revenue lost by the passage of the 40-mill tax levy limit initiative. The bill was introduced in the senate yesterday. School Term Is 180 Days Under the provision of this act the maximum school term will be 180 days; The state will provide 25 cents per pupil per day's attendance in the elementary schools. Junior high schools will receive 35 cents per pupil. Each school district will be guaranteed a minimum support of $(325 per term from the state. County commissioners will be required to raise' 10 cents per day for each pupil in attendance during the preceding Normal students and interested townspeople will be taken on a "Musical Journey" Jan. 26, by Guy Maier, who appears in concert at this time in the Normal auditorium. The recital, which starts at 8:15, is sponsored by the Normal school and the Women's Music club. With the aid of slides, Mr. Maier takes his audience on journeys through countries connected with the lives of Schubert, Brahms, Jo-hann Strauss, Chopin, Grieg, and Bach. Maier himself motored, bicycled and walked through the native lands of these composers and, with the aid of a photographer, obtained these pictures. Is a New Yorker Born in Buffalo, New York, Mr. Maier first studied at the New England Conservatory of Music from which he went to Berlin to study. He has appeared in joint concerts with Lee Pattison as well as in individual programs. He began giving concerts for children and met with such great success that he is now increasing his work in this field although concentrating around the "Musical Journeys" idea. o "Beggar on Horseback" Is Satire of Dream Illusion "Beggar on Horseback", chosen by Victor H. Hoppe, to be presented by the Drama club on March 2 and 3, is something new and different in stage entertainment—it is a dream play and may be classed as a descendant of "Alice in Wonderland". The play, a hilarious farce, is a supreme contrast to the quiet and melancholy tone of 'Alison's House" which was presented both summer (Continued on Page Three) (Continued on Page Two) o THESPIANS GIVE RADIO PROGRAM The Cremo program which was presented in this morning's assembly, was given by the Thespian club. The program which was announced by Vernon Leatha featured such eminent artists as: "America's greatest heart throb philosopher," Tony Wons, who really was James Butler; Guy Lombardo, "radio's gift to the American housewife," was Clarence ---------- Northwest Viking - 1933 January 20 - Page 2 ---------- :M. i^ffipf.

Butler on Education The annual report of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler is a document of special interest to those of us here who are equipping ourselves to enter the teaching profession, for it is to Teacher's college, Columbia university, that our administration looks for advance announcements of educational trends in the United States. The statements of the head of the institution to which we look for such guidance are to be taken into consideration in our study as being utterances of the man who is the diamond point of the wedge of educational advancement. Dr. Butler, says, "It is the elementary and the secondary schools which touch immediately the lives and minds of the great masses of the World's population. For the future of democracy itself it is of vital importance that those sources of power, of discipline and of direction be kept pure and undefiled by false doctrine, heresy or schism." The head of such an institution as Columbia university must indeed be too broad a man to mean by "false doctrines" the fundamental aims of education, or by "heresy" honest doubt, or by "schism" unity in progressive movement. The condemnation in the above statement is of the conservative in education who ignores and refuses to support 'the well-established principle of educational change and progress. But we who are being educated to teach along the lines of current trends need not concern ourselves with the Validity of the reasoning in the liberal policies currently being announced. As we are educated, so shall we teach. That which we must consider is the antagonism and opposition likely to be shown us by the ultra-conserv-tive boards of education throughout the country in which we are to teach. We must equip ourselves to defend those principles of education which are being taught us here and now. We must prepare ourselves to justify every change we make in the school system with which we come in contact; and above all we must have the courage and the determination to carry on in our newer broader methods despite the opposition which may be shown To the Candidates Junior's Guardian Angel Fails Him at Tense Moment Julius, Dis-clothed as Salome, is a Mirth Provoker (Editor's note: A sad story as told by Julius Dornblut Jr's.; guardian angel.) It is usually a terrible bore to be a guardian angel and tiring work being a good one, especially to Julius, because he moves around so fast and so often and does so many different and difficult things. I took a vacation last week on Thursday when Julius Junior and I were at Miller and Sutherlen's print shop where the weekly Viking is printed. This was how it all happened. The Viking staff had their initiation and after all that I felt full of fun as did Julius. Well, I knew Julius was intending to change his trousers and so I decided to have him change from his cords into a pair of tweeds which he had with him in an adjoining room. This he began to do. The rest of the boys on the staff knew this and waited until my charge had about removed the cords and at this time rushed in on him about ten strong, I knew they would, and took both pair of Julius' posterior coverings just as he said, "What do you guys want in here?" The gang then rushed out into the main room where many females were. I was ashamed then, because I had forgotten those ferns. Anyway, did" those people laugh? I ask you and you say yes. The funniest thing happened then. Dornblut Junior instead of rushing out with embarassed actions in the undies, put his legs into the armholes of his vest and walks nonchalantly into the room, picks up his trousers and marches back into the adjoining room. His face was sort of red and I was sorry. I guess I'm not such a good guardian angel, but then, poof. o As a solution to the world-important rec-hour question discussed so fluently by the candidates for student offices, may we suggest that the whole thing be forgotten entirely, for good and all. Let's hear something about what they intend to do about letting the student body as a whole have something to say as to whether it enjoys the Musical Artists course as a whole ' and the assembly programs enough to justify the ex-pehditure laid forth on these entertainments.*"^;^ 1 1, ..... .-. lt;:; Einiijr Dow; Ave grant, Ayas beyond reproach, as was the Hall Johnson negro choir, which entertained us last quarter; but as for such superb entertainers as the inimitable Laddie Boy Grey and his two violins, or Marie Montana, lyric soprano avoirdupoise whose golden voice cracked off some of its gilt when she bewitched us into a stupor last year, we say, "Let's give that money to poor Bellingham families that might, perchance, be going hungry." And do the candidates feel that Governor Martin should consider his predecessor's suggestion that tv/o of the state Normal schools be closed? Have they made any effort to find which two it will be, or whether the state could stand such a loss? Is there anything the student body president might do about the question? Has the next student body president made a careful survey of the budget to inform himself if and how student fees may be cut? Have any of the candidates published a definite plan to stimulate club activities? Will any candidate consider cooperating with the Northwest Viking in founding a Students Advisory board to study the curriculum, ascertaining and making public the actual value to the students of each course offered? Have the candidates any substitute to go into effect during the spring term to take the place of inter- collegiate baseball? Has Mr. Carver or Mr. Gunn been consulted by them on the matter? Are all concerned satisfied with arrangements at Edens Hall? What new effort could be made to collect the money due the student loan fund? If the candidates for student office will answer each of these questions, the Northwest Viking will publish verbatim the answers of the successful candidates in next week's issue. *«ii On the A M P US Side of the EYHOLE Little Bert Gallanger has been sort of out of the limelight for some time and "'that's because he has to keep ahead of his 8th graders in mathematics. The Polack seems obviously contented with Louise. Contento, and this is another couple to watch through the keyhole.—"Your heels are run over, lady," is the theme song of Viola Loken. Jack Hogan had two experiences with the voting machine: one, he voted; two, he bumped his head on the handle. Roger Chapman keeps talking about the hold-up, and showing the five pennies they left him. Even Mary Fisher thought her ring would never more be seen. Johnny Lensrud and his woman have a favorite sport; trapping bunnies at the rocks. Peggy McKay is playing havoc with hearts by going oriental.

' DR. NITOBE HONORED AT EDENS LUNCHEON Faculty Members and Citizens Are Also Club Guests A luncheon in honor of Dr. Inazo Nitobe was held in the Edens Hall club room Wednesday, January-18. The International Relations club sponsored the affair. Members of the faculty who have traveled in the Orient were invited to attend. Miss M. Belie Sperry, Miss Ruth Piatt, Edward Arntzen, Mr. and Mrs. Pelagius Williams, Miss Mary E. Rich, T. P. Hunt, Miss :Nora Cummins, and President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher represented the faculty. Other guests included Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Donovan, Mrs. Ralph kooken, Mrs. C. X. Larrabee, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Larrabee, and the Japanese consul from Seattle, Ku-yoshi Uchiyama. Dr. Nitobe spoke on the interest of Japan in Manchuria. He answered questions on various topics of current interest in regard to the political situation in Japan. Dr. JNitobe said that he doubted any possibility of colonization of Manchuria on the part of, Japan. o- STUDENTS GUESS AT POPULATIONS "What is the population of the State of Washington?" That question was asked of his intelligent class by one of our prominent instructors. Well, anyway, I thought they were intelligent until that question was asked. A little bright-eyed hopeful girl sitting in the front row quickly replied, "One-hundred thousand." Is it any wonder that so many professors take leave of absence from their work and go into hiding in some remote country to see for themselves just what kind of an animal the human race came from? Another student hoping to make good uttered, with a prayer on his lips, "Three million." That's not so bad, taking into consideration that he could have said ten millions just ' as well. Incidentally the population is one and a half millions. The younger generation has tossed that old saying into the discard: "Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong." A member of the class under discussion attributed to France a population of twenty-five million. A freshman, direct from Whatcom high claims there are thirty-five souls in Russia. Not to be outdone another young man piped up with "two-hundred millions." According to this bright class the population in Germany isn't very steady. One minute it was ninety millions. The next, it dropped (like the stock market), down to thirty-five millions. That is just one of the things that go to prove a class should cooperate a little more. And other very radical population guesses were eight to sixty million for Italy. If II Duce could have heard that! Poland brought estimates from five to thirty-five millions. England didn't do so badly, having backers ready to swear there were from twenty-five to one-hundred millions. o RELIEF WORK STUDIED WASHINGTON STATE N Q ^ ^ News From The Clubs Despite discouragement from the weather man, W. A. A. hikers had a very successful dike to the Natural Dry dock a week ago last Saturday. Their second hike of the quarter, last Saturday, was to Toad Lake^ Tomorrow a hike to the top of King mountain is planned. Although this is, indeed a steep and slippery mountain veterans say the fun will recompense. All women of the Normal school are invited to go on W. A. A. hikes whether or not they are members of the club. On next Friday evening, January 27, the W. A. A. will sponsor a skating party at the State street skating rink. The party, which will revolve around a "Boy and Girl" idea will be given by the W. A. A. for their girl friends who do not belong to the association. Association members will dress as boys, while their guests are to come as the "girl friends". It is estimated that about 100 girls will attend. At a recent house-meeting, the girls at Downs elected the following officers: President, Catherine McDonald; social chairman, Belva Harris; house reporter, Virginia Davenport. New girls in the house this quarter are: Floy Potter, Helen Cryer, and Fern Sorensen. Mrs. S. L. Harris of Burlington, has been visiting her daughter. Belva Harris. At a meeting \ of the Economics club in Edens Hall club room, January 12, Einar Larson was elected president; Wilson Waylett, vice president; Dick Albert, secretary; and Bill Pierron, treasurer. Plans for the coming quarter were outlined. The club plans to discuss the following questions during the winter quarter: Technocracy; what it is and where it is leading? Can the world today withstand another war? What price will our present civilization pay in event of another imperialistic world war? Can our present economic system continue to exist despite the problems of ever increasing unemployment amidst plenty? At a recent meeting, Barton Hall elected the following officers: President, Catherine Hollis; secretary treasurer, Beryl Kraft; reporter, Jerry Duff. At the first meeting of the quarter held by Cozy Cottage, Wednesday evening, January 11, election of officers was held.

Marian Beckley arrived at the Cottage last week rom her home in Salem, Ore., to resume work at Normal. Bernice Osgood spent last week-end at her home in Lynden. Speakers Invited to Appear Again by the Bible Institute Interest aroused by the addresses of Mrs. Edward Gloster and Mrs. Kenneth Coleman at the 25th Normal Bible institute last week resulted in an invitation from the Normal Y. W. C. A. to appear before the chapter again during the school year. These two young Seattle women spoke at the Thursday, Friday and Sunday* meetings of the Institute. Mrs. Gloster, who has a master's degree from Columbia university, centered her discussions about the place of mind, will and the affections in human regeneration Miss Clark, of Vancouver, B. C, addressed the parlor meeting Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. R. S. Simpson, and spoke before the local Y. W. C. A. yesterday afternoon. Miss Clark has for 25 years been in China engaged in the work of the China Inland Mission. . Pelagius Williams, instructor in the Social Science department, accompanied a party of Bellingham relief workers to Everett on Wednesday, January 11, to investigate the relief program and policy of Snohomish county. Mr. Williams is a member of a committee of three appointed by the Whatcom county commissioners to work with them on county relief work.

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

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

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

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

The voices, low, medium, and high in pitch are suitably grouped and in the rendering of apiece of literature they play in and out with each other or "fall into a choral harmony much as in the rendering of music. The importance of pitch, cadence, enunciation and rhythm are all deftly calculated in producing effects achieved by the choir. Other methods used to heighten effects are gestures and lighting effects. v First Group Organized .;. This choir under the direction of Elizabeth M. Jenks, is the first group of its kind to be organized in the West. The group first started making, public appearances in 1931, and has been steadily gaining popularity. •'•••; The verse speaking choir is now offered as a regular course in the Speech department of the San Jose Teachers college. It is organized like a glee club so that students may begin.in a junior chorus and if then-work is outstanding, they may work into the senior choir. Miss Jenks and her chorus will arrive in Bellingham on Sunday, .November 26. Miss Longley is making preparations to entertain the group in Edens Hall while they are in -town;5;"'-"'' " '" •"--••-y!''-,v--- f'r.y '———°—~" Tenth Homecoming Annual Celebration ,From the pep rally Friday night to the Homecoming dance Saturday night, the tenth annual Homecoming celebration of the Bellingham Normal school, held November 17-20, can be said to have been a huge success. Activities began Friday evening at 7 o'clock when Bill Allan led an all-school serpentine from Edens hall down through Holly street and back to/jthe new athletic field for the big bonfire celebration. The day's pro- , gram ended with an evening Rec hour. At noon Saturday a luncheon was held in the Edens hall dining room, which was pronounced a decided success under the direction of Chairman Tim Lowe! V ^ Next was the main feature of of Contribution Red Cross Campaign Will Conducted Separately This Year . Be Because the Red Cross is having its own campaign for funds this year, separate from the Community Fund, Mrs. • Gragg and Dr. Bond have been appointed by President Fisher to take charge of the faculty contributions for that organization. The Red Cross is following its national policy by withdrawing from the community chest movements and conducting a campaign of its own. In.this campaign anyone is invited to contribute. The minimum contribution for a membership in the organization is $1. The Red Cross completed in the past year the greatest relief task in its fifty-two years of existence. Supplied with government cotton and wheat, it distributed 10,500,000 barT rels of flour to nearly 6,000,000 families, and 104,000,000 .garments; to more than 5,000,000. families. Flour was provided in every state and ail but six counties. More than 25,000,- 000 people were aided in relief work. The Red Cross aided in unemployment relief in over 2,500 communities in this' country. Ninety-two disasters in the United States and its insular possessions. called for Red Cross relief, four disasters occurring abroad. Moffatt Speaks On Club History At AlkisiahMeet Alkisiah Club Was Organized ' First Tear that the Normal Opened the (Continued on Page Four) "The History of the Alkisiah club", was the topic of a talk given by Miss Moffatt at the last meeting of the Alkisiah club. The Alkisiah club was first organized under the name of the Al-cott society, in 1898, the same year that the Normal school was opened. The club was a part of the regular school work, its aims being; practice in public speaking, current events and service. Miss Ida Agnes Baker was the sponsor and critic. The name of, the society was changed to the present name of Alkisiah, taken from the Indian words, Alki, meaning near, and Siah, meaning far. Together this word means, the reaching of objectives in the near future. The literary interests seemed to broaden with the new name, and the club studied, debate, authors, the short story, plays and artists. The club^erected the bird bath beside Edens hall. Some of the other activities they participated:in were: the sale of seals at Christmas and the laying of a corner stone.. They also brought a picture exhibit of original painting of Washington artists to the school on two different years. Sokplsky Terms Progressive School • ^ 5 "BehwiorisUc;" Prefers Quaker By Calista Simonds and Mary-Jane Holden Previous toour conversation with Mr. George Sokolsky, last Friday's speaker, we had bolstered our faltering courage and scanty knowledge by hasty perusal of two articles written by our victim: "My Mixed Marriage", August Atlantic Monthly, and "Political Movement in China," from the "Annals of American Political and Sociological Economy", July. .•.'••:::.:C'- ••v-.. ••••:.

You have your chance. Listen! The Bellingham Theatre Guild is presenting for four days beginning next Tuesday the 27th, Sam Jan-ney's mystery thriller "The Black Flamingo," a story that takes place one night in a wayside tavern around the year 1798. Besides being outstanding, it boasts several of Normal's past actors and actresses. Eilene Morrison who plays Laura Cram in the school's first quarter production, "Holiday" portrays the part of the loud mouthed wife of the inkeeper. Other persons who have at one time gone to Normal, appearing in the production are: Quentin Rochefort, the priest; John James, De Lussac; and Mary Ruth Bailey, Diane. Reservation should be made as soon as possible at Stark Piano Co., as the tickets are going fast. The admission is forty cents. Social Science Club Sets Meeting Date Due to the fact that the Social Science club meeting dates of second and fourth Mondays of every month conflicted with the Alkisiah club dates, the meetings will be held the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month. At the meeting held Monday night, November 20, in the Edens hall club room, Frank Brown reported that a Social Science club party was planned for some time shortly following Thanksgiving with a dinner, dancing, and card playing as the entertainment features. Ralph Hofman was the speaker scheduled for the meeting, but as he was called for play practice his talk on the Jewish question was postponed till. the next meeting. • '•.- ':o—•• — '. • Bureau Announces ions Secured Miss Elizabeth Hopper of the Appointment bureau has received word of the appointment of fifteen more students who have completed their teaching course here.

Roosevelt in his address to the third annual Women's Conference of Current Problems, at its meeting in New York City on October 13; One was to the effect that despite present adverse conditions too many teachers are being "turned out" each year. The other, "The quality of our teaching in almost every state can be definitely and distinctly raised," is a direct challenge to the institutions of education. When questioned as to her viewpoints on this situation, which the President has brought before us, Miss Mary E. Rich, director of the training school, broadly granted the President's estimates to be justifiable, but took exception to his further remark, "Over-production of teachers is just as much an economic waste as building steel rail plants far beyond the ability of railroads to use steel rails." This, she considered a rather far-fetched comparison. It is the theory of Miss Rich that more preparation for teaching would take care of this condition, with greater benefit to both teacher and pupil. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1933 November 24 - Page 2 ---------- wMmicnm^ e I^rthwest Vikirig ESTABLISHED 1899 Published every Friday except during the month of September by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal School, Bellingham.

Grads, students, and faculty members alike thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your program. Donna Aisted, Tim Lowe, Bill Allan, Sammie Carver, Dr. E. A. Bond, and Mr. L. A. Kibbe deserve a great deal of praise for their work as committee chairmen. ^ The team put on a real game which was worth everything it cost, figuring on the basis of three home games for over two dollars. Members of the Lynden high school band played up the fracas with their lively tunes and drill formations. Ralph Shenenberger and Bob Lindsley gave us a football booklet which is more than,a booklet; it is a real souvenir. To the many others who did their bit we say 'thank, you.* Another REAL Problem Realizing the tremendous importance of the coming abolishment of practically all restraint on the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, Governor Clarence D. Martin appointed an advisory liquor control commission. This commission submitted its report two weeks ago and on the whole provides for an ideal plan to cope with the drink problem. In its major aspects the proposed set-up is similar to the plans used in the Canadian provinces. We realize liquor is a problem even in Canada, but until someone comes forth with a more workable solution we must be content to follow those countries who have had the most success in handling the question. Simplification Suggested John Christy, student body president, believes it would be a wise plan to provide a separate fund such as the library and health fees for lectures and entertainments. If this plan were adopted the responsibility for the success of these undertakings would rest entirely with the administration. Under this new plan students who formerly took a six-hour load will have to bear their share of the cost. Formerly these students were able to enjoy programs paid for by others by not being required to pay a student's association fee. . We believe this proposal to be a step in the right direction. After all, why should the Board of Control be responsible for programs if they have no hand in the selection of the speakers and artists? If this plan goes into effect during the winter quarter the student activities card will cost $5.50 instead of $7. The board will still look after athletics, social life and publications.

W. C. Eells, professor of education, Stanford university, in "Salaries and the Cost of Living", Washington Education Journal for November, 1933, shows why the educators of this country are protesting the tremendous lowering of wages. Salaries Discussed The popular argument today is that taxes are too high and that teacher's salaries which come from taxation should be reduced to meet the reduction in the cost of living which has come about in the last three or four years. The basis of comparison used is the Bureau of Labor statistics which are compiled yearly from the budgets of more than ten thousand families of work-ingmen. Prof. Eells points out that this is hardly fair however, since the division of expenses in the working-man's budget is entirely different from that of the professional classes. Thirty-eight per cent of the work-ingman's budget goes for food, 17 per cent for clothes, and 19 per cent for shelter. Hence only one-fourth or less of his total income goes for health, recreation, improvement, and other miscellaneous expenses. Miscellaneous' Costs High Carefully gathered statistics on the cost of instructor's living expenses show that food which has taken the big drop in cost, is only 20 per cent of the teacher's total expense while miscellaneous costs, which have not gone down at all, compose over 50 per cent of the educator's budget. Moreover, while teachers' salaries have been cut, the demands upon them have become heavier until in comparison with 1929-1930, 1932-1933 shows that individuals wholly or chiefly dependent upon teachers, for support had increased 59 per cent; the number of partial dependents had increased 200 per cent. This is the artists' conception of Al Charlesworth's conception of the backstage region, on the Great Night of production. This may be the area behind the "French Doors'* —or it may be the properties cupboard... Please don't inquire. Thoughts By Sally Droning voice of a well-meaning prof— And the class dozes and dreams. Beyond the drip drip drip Of the rain on the sill The maples on Sehome's side Hang limp like drenched yellow cloth In the cool November rain. A sheet of rain between me and the firs On Sehome's slope Dulls the green with a cold gray— A gray that sparkles And seems to talk and sing and sigh As each little drop of it hurries toward the earth. Smoke from the chimneys Is crowded down on the campus By the heavy mists above.

The holes that $e selection of a JV team left in some of the intramural outfits doesn't sit so well with the more industrious managers. The .Froshand the Co-.op have four of their'regulars working under Sam Carver.. The newswriters may lose Stone, while Hudson is already signed on a classn A . team. If the Frosh' intramural squad would only settle down during a contest they would go places. As individual players they are all good, but as a.,team they don't ,, seem to click. VvLast year the Harlequins were in the cellar all ' : the first half and were pressing 1 'the leaders all the second half. - H i s t o r y is repeating itself so - - far, so now we*re wondering if :.••.....they might upset the dope next January. . . - , - . . . *• * * * And did the U. of Oregon get it \ in the neck?

First Game Of Class B Is Walkover Y.M.C.A. Triangle Team Takes Easy Win From Junior Varsity in Thriller TEAM MAKES BAD SHOWING Starlund, Miles, Are Outstanding on Junior Varsity Normal's Junior Varsity team met ignominious defeat at the hands of the Y. M. C. A.'s Triangle team at the Y. M. C. A. last Tuesday night when the Y. M. O. A. team broke up the Junior Varsity defense to win, 34-17. At the very beginning of the game the Triangle team showed their offensive strength and made several points before the Normal team got started and after the first few minutes of play the Triangle team led by almost two to one. Singer Stars for «Y" Singer, "Y" forward, along with Reckhus, played an outstanding game which the Normal boys had plenty of difficulty in checking. Singer would constantly get the ball away on the defensive and make points completely unaided, while Reckhus aided with his accurate passing on the set-ups. An especially large number of fouls were called as both teams were accustomed to playing on larger floors. In the second half Normal showed strength for a while, at one time the score being 25-13. Hager did a good part of the offensive work. The lineup follows: Normal Y.M.C.A. Miles F. McAllison Nielson F. Singer Nielson C Reckhus Albee G.. Graybeal Hager _.G Chandlin Subs — Starlund, Benedict and Munson, Normal; Stone and Hannis, Y.M.C.A\ Earl Jewell, referee. — —o HIGHER INSTITUTIONS ARE CHALLENGED (Continued from Page One) gests the amount of learning which the pupil is offered should also be increased, especially now with the abolition of child labor. This, in Mr. Bever's estimation, will solve the problem of whether these young people will be educated in the schools or in the streets. Intramural Row Getting Tight N. W. Vikings and Daniel Hall Are Leading League The 1933 Intramural basketball race is getting tighter and tighter as the days pass. At the present time there is only one undefeated team and that is Daniels hall. Last evening they met and defeated the N. W. Viking squad who are now holding down second place. The reporters have lost only one game. Following closely on the heels of the leaders are the Frosh and the Co-op quintets. Each of these teams have been defeated but once and are still very much in the running. The Co-op five was defeated by the Newspaper men in a close game while the Frosh team lost to the Daniel hall boys. o— Season's Highlights Your writer has tried to pick out the important events of the football season that has just ended. Of all the things that happened the following events probably stand out the most—The Vikings winning their first game in two years when they defeated the Pacific Lutheran college— Sinko's 70-yard run that ended on the 2-yard line in the C. P. S. game—Davidson plunging through the P. L. C. line for the first score of the year—Williams breaking away for 50 yards and the second score in that same game—Little Willie Toby's catch of that pass against Ellensburg when he was knocked cold (in other words, out)—Sulkosky putting the old pep and fire in the line and telling them where the next play was coming (if he said it was coming around right end they all watched the right side of the line) —Big Bill Frender blocking that P. L. C. punt and putting the ball in position for the first score of the season—The few spots of really brilliant playing of the Vikings, such as in that C. P. S. game—The defensive work of Bagley and Finley throughout the season. o FOG Fog is a drifting end Of the cool while veil Of the moon.

"The examinations have all been completed," said Miss Mead, "and prospects are bright for a healthy gt; -year. •- lt;! gt; iv.. A week of more than usual interest and activity has just ended for the volleyball turnouts. Now that the smoke of intramurals has cleared away the inter-class teams have been formed. These teams will hereafter be referred to as the freshman team and junior team. Owing to a small number of turnouts from the sophomore class, no sophomore team was organized, the three aspirants from that class to be held for substitute play. We wonder will it be possible to keep Johnny Bromley on the side lines,, after having witnessed the pep and enthusiasm she displayed in the intramurals. * * * * * Last week's final game of the intramural season brought victory to the Blues over the Whites by a game score of 2-0 and point scores of 21-8 and 21-12. This also brings a season victory to the Blues, captained by Bromley. * * * * * The new teams, formed Monday night, will be captained by Peggy Starlund, junior, and Donnie Grant, freshman.

Tuesday's entry onto the field saw the Reds one point ahead of the Blues in total game scores. In the first half of the game indications were that the Reds would increase their former lead, but good team work in the second half brought the Blues through to a victory of 3-2, tying the scores of games played thus far. * * * * * ....Soccer play has been continuing despite the shortage of turnouts, and Miss Weythman, coach, hopes to form two interclass soccer teams in the near future though both teams will be playing short. No intramurals have been played, games being confined to contests with Campus school teams. EehicatedToe Of Dinslow Wonderful Exhibition of Punting By Ellensburg Right End Feature of Game gt; VIKINGS MAKE DESPERATE TRY Game Fought on Even Terms Throughout Entire Period Long spiraling punts of the sturdy right foot of Dinslow, Ellensburg right end, spelled defeat for the Vikings last Saturday in their annual Homecoming game. The Wildcats came out on the long end of a 6-to-0 score and thus took the tri- Normal championship home with them" for the fourth consecutive time. In every department of the game except kicking the Vikings played on even terms with the boys from over the mountains. Every exchange of punts lost the Normal team from ten to twenty yards. Vikings Threaten The Vikings made only one dangerous bid for a score and that came in the first quarter. A varied attack consisting of passes from Williams to Miller and several end-around plays with Odell and Toby carrying the ball, put the pigskin inside the Wildcats' 10-yard line. Here, however, the Ellensburg defense stiffened and the Vikings finally lost the ball on downs when they passed over the goal line. The Wildcats' score came with about five minutes left to play in the second quarter, when McMinds, fullback, plunged over from the 6- inch line. The ball was put in scoring position by two runs by Sanders, elusive halfback, that were good for 26 yards, and by an off-side penalty against the Vikings. This gave the Wildcats a first in ten on the Normal's 5-yard line, from where line plunges by Sanders and McMinds put the ball across. The attempted try-f or -point was off too far to one side. Sanders Stands Out Sanders, Ellensburg half, was the best ground gainer on the field on either team, with Williams, Viking back, coming a close second. Toby also made several substantial gains when he packed the ball on an end-around play that worked fairly well. On defense, Captain Otto Finley, Sulkosky and Odell stood out.

Thirty or more people will ramble out the highway in a big bus or two—that is, all who can find riding room among the bedding and grub. Food Filling Nancy Jane Smith, general chairman, gives oath (on the Viking office dictionary) that they will have the best time had in the fall quarter. "Plenty of food—and a grand lack of precious sleep," says Nancy. Six grand meals have been planned by the food committee, composed of Beth Hankins, chairman, Bob Linds-ley, June Larson and Margaret Bradley. They are to eat everything from caviar to chile con carne. All members of the party are expected to take turns playing chef or dishwasher. Program Pleasurable Mary Fisher, in charge of the program, has arranged full days and evenings of pleasure for the staff members and their guests. Saturday the gang will hike up Table mountain, taking lunches with them, and returning at dinner time. There will be skiing at Heather Meadows and a portable phonograph will add to the hilarity at the cabin. A last word of, warning is issued to the modern misses of 1933—wear your grandfather's red flannels or you freeze. Each person is asked to bring his own blankets—and plenty of them, "for it's cold on that thar mount'in." Dolls to Appear Olvera Puppeteers Will Perform at Normal Auditorium The famous Olvera Puppeteers from Los Angeles are coming to town December 5. The Olvera Puppeteers, making their first continental tour, are named from the street on which they have played daily for a period of five years, and are said to be equally as .proficient players as Tony Sarg's marionettes, who appeared here several years ago. They carry their own specially lighted stage with sound amplifiers. "Jimmy's Adventures at the Circus" will be shown at the matinee December 5. Fifty or more trick, clown and animal puppets will be used and will bring thrills to the kiddies. The admfssion for children is 15 cents, and 25 cents for adults. In the evening "Puppet Gayeties of '33" will be shown. This is a musical revue starring many famous movie stars. Admission will be 25 cents for Normal and high school students and 35 cents for adults. All seats are reserved.

FORD SUBMITS REPORT At the regular Board of Control meeting held Tuesday, January 19, President Fisher presented the budget^ for next quarter. The following activities were mentioned: Northwest Viking, 60 cents; social life, 80 cents; athletics, $1.60; assemblies and lectures, $3. A committee was appointed by President Colin Campbell to continue the investigation of raising the qualifications for holding office as a member of the Board of Control. It was suggested that as the Normal school has been changed to a three-year graduation basis the requirements should be raised. The committee in charge of this investigation is: Elsie O'Donnell, chairman, Miss Nora Cummins, Mr. Ruckmick, Charles Dowel, Hollis J. Stoddard and Sivert Skotheim. A committee was appointed to investigate the Inter-Club Council and help with its reorganization. This committee is headed by Sivert Skotheim. The Co-Op Book Store report as presented by Manager Sam Ford was accepted by the board. ' Normalite •• ii " m •• II| i • • • Chile and the Powers The Raising of an Army Are They Savages? Ye Diary By Virginia Carver Another week—another test! If the blamed things persist at this early stage in the situation some members of the Normal faculty are going to be seriously involved in the very center of a mob scene! W.S.N.S. Headline in a local paper—United States and England favored by Chile. We know just how they feel —but since the depression, nobody even favors us with a glass of water and a tooth pick, let alone chile. -W.S.N.S.- According to a local daily paper, A certain educationalist stated lately that this state's educational machine cost entirely-too much. His idea is that two schools of higher education are a sufficiency where five are being upheld. Which means —the fellow who wouldn't have enough money to go away to a big college should simply be satisfied to stay at home and dig ditches and get married and either pinch pennies all his life or have fun and starve to death! . It may be so—but just the same, we'll wager . that tliey'd just as soon walk on dirt roads for a couple of years more and pay their taxes to keep up the other three schools. We read somewhere just lately that Caruso's mother had twenty-one children. She really should nave produced , something worth irthile don't you t irik?

She finds that this course has opened a new channel of creative interest. It is the desire of the art department that all students will become aware of the beauty that surrounds them each day of their lives. Art not only should be used as creative work, but should be considered part of our lives. In fact, gt;art should be given just as much emphasis as reading, mathematics or the spoken word, for without appreciation of art we cannot see the great beauty that is within reach of us every day. Chinese Art Studied In the introductory art class the students have been collecting old Chinese paintings, Chinese pottery and Chinese textiles. These are on display now in the art department: -o— WESLEY F. RENNIE SPEAKS ON EUROPE Problems Confronting Countries Are Mainly Economic. "Impressions of Europe" was the topic on which Mr. Wesley F. Ren-nie spoke in Tuesday's assembly. Mr. Rennie is citywide boys' secretary of Seattle. Y. M. C. A. workers. Last year he was appointed for work on international boys' relations at Geneva and while there attended the disarmament conference of the League of Nations. "I have gained a perspective of the past, insight of the present, and a view of the future, and out of the past the present should learn," said Mr. Rennie. He also explained the world today as being in the state of revolutionary upheaval and movement. It was indicated that the treaty of Versailles is one of the paramount needs of the day. England Troubled In describing Great Britain Mr. Rennie spoke of it as a green and pleasant isle. Their greatest trouble is the financial problem. Unemployment in Great Britain was said to be not new. "I myself think MacDonald is truly a great man because he rises above conditions to do what he thinks is good for Great Britain," said Mr. Rennie. Germany Discouraged In speaking of Germany it is held that Germany has more than paid for reconstruction made necessary by the damages it committed in the World war. Under the present conditions it Would be impossible to have permanent peace, spoke Mr. Rennie. Editor of Viking to Attend Conference TOTAL ENROLLMENT FIGURES SHOW 797 ATTEND NORMAL Number of Students Is Largest Since Winter of 1929, When 800 Here. MEN GROW IN NUMBERS Official registration figures for this school disclose a total enrollment of 797 students in attendance here this quarter. Of this number 284 are men and 513 are women. This figure Is the largest since the winter of 1929. These comparisons apply only to the regular school year and do not include the summer registrations in which the enrollments have exceeded 1,000. The number of men in attendance exceeds that of any previous regular enrollment. College Graduates Here There are 105 upper division students— juniors and seniors, 336 sophomores and 346 freshmne. There are five college graduates in attendance and five students taking special courses. Several changes in sophomore classes have been made as a result of the revision in, curriculum this quarter to meet with the requirements of a four-year school. These changes include dropping one class each in the courses of psychology, hygiene and industrial arts. Students Favor Electives It is found that students are taking more electives and postponing the required courses. This procedure is said by Miss Nora B. Cummins, registrar, to be desirable, however, as the situation will right itself eventually as a result of the three-year course. r_o Drama Club May Go to Vancouver For Abbey Plays R^er Chapman, editor of the Northwest Viking, left Thursday for Seattle to attend; the twentieth annual Washington Newspaper Institute. „'• .

James Butler, president, appointed a committee of A. E. Charles-worth and Eileen Morrison to find out how much seats would cost. They are also to inquire as to the price of a bus to transport the students. Pins Discussed Marshall Bacon gave a report on the point system of earning pins. These are given to students who earn ten points. There are also pins for those members who have not earned the honorary pins. To give the people who are not taking part in the Winter quarter play a chance for experience, one-act plays are going to be produced. A committee-of Preston Wright, Deborah Altose, and Bill Button was appointed to read and select some good one-act plays. Reports Given Reports on three plays were given: William Butties "discussed the play, "The Barrets of Wimpole Street" by. Rudolph Besier. Marshall Bacon reported on the plays; "As HusbandsGo", by Rachael Crothers, and' "Once In ft Lifetime", by Bert Moss arid George Cohan.' •' As thte;v.sfe^t8^V$ft0 was elected last quarter, is not attending school now, Vaughn Howell was elected to fill thfeposition; Special Meeting It was a ^ c ^ ^ ^ h ^ i special meeting in the near future.

What students want and appreciate in assembly programs was quite clearly expressed at last Friday's assembly. There was nothing in the conduct of the students that would cause embarrassment to the administration. Mr. Robinson unmistakably had the undivided attention of his audience. In the first place Robinson is a well known figure, and then he was authoritatively introduced in advance publicity as an interesting speaker with an interesting ..subject. Members of the faculty, and student teachers, whose attendance at assemblies is not required, „, weie^present to hear the speaker in a number not equaled when a "songbird' is scheduled to appear. The number of townspeople at entertainments of this caliber is also noticeable. __' Assemblies, of which Lennox Robinson and Lewis Browne are outstanding examples, prove that the stu- •n dent body is not entirely irrational in its usual restlessness and criticism of assembly programs. Programs of this type are generally recognized as both worthwhile and interesting. They have a general interest and also a general cultural value. While the usual musical program may be both interesting and , cultural to a few, the number that can benefit by it are in the decided minority. it would be interesting if a poll could be taken among the student body to determine where the preference would lie in regard to assembly programs. From our unofficial observations we would predict the following conclusions. Students Would appreciate more good speakers and lecturers at the expense of highbrow music. —R. W. C. The U. S. Ambassador at the Court of St. James in London gets a salary of $17,500 a year while his annual expenses amount to approximately $100, 000. Of course those high in government positions must be men of wealth. It staggers us to consider what must be the obligatory expenses of the secretary •f the treasury. Name them: Andy, John D., J. Pierpont, and Henry. Just four that could qualify. Ship Ahoy! feel like, now. (By Debby Altose) That's what the weather makes us It rains and rains—and then it rains some more.

You know—Mr. Bond says bis one wish is to teach Home Economics so he can say he has taught every course in the school. Speaking of courses—I believe the English 2 students are dreaming of Faust. He's a grand old, man—and when I say grand, I mean— Which reminds us of Frankenstein—also Dr. Jeckyll —and da rest of da guys. Then someone said, "They didn't work the galley slaves of old half as hard as they work us poor reporters." And do you know-hard. -they really Work us awfully By the way- Isn't it fun? -what do you thing of the depression? Something new and something different, though it's getting kinda stale already.

Piatt is Feature of Meet by "Greta Garbo and Jack Holt seem to be the favorite movie stars of the Japanese," said Miss Ruth Piatt at the interesting meeting of the Blue Triangle club last Wednesday evening at the Y. W. C. A. There is a tendency in China for the sexes to mingle more freely. In Japan there is a greater formality between sexes. The Japanese are very clannish and they do not believe in intermarriage, while that feeling- is not so dominant in the Chinese. In Japan there is a great nationalistic movement being carried on. Old poems and old literature are being revised. The saddest of ideas of the Japanese is their queer conception of the Occidentals. They get their ideas from the movies and comics. Their favorite comic strip is "Jiggs." Because the Japanese men think that all Occidental women are like "Maggie," they are revolting against the Japanese women taking up* the viewpoints of the American and European women. Miss Piatt said that Honolulu, with .its mixture of races, has less social distinction between races than any other country that she knows of. There, Chinese, Japanese, Negroes, Hawaiians, whites and natives mix without any trouble. Party Tonight Everyone is invited to attend the bridge party given by the Blue Triangle club tonight at the Y. W. C. A. at 7:45 o'clock. The admission is 25 cents. The committees in charge are: Alice-Jean Donaway and Elo-ise Rankin, "program; June Jevning, refreshments, and Donna Aisted and Evelyn Montgomery, publicity. o—: Girls' Qlass Study Club Organization Fashionable Coed rTASMUCH as the winter quarter inf ormals are rolling around with amazing rapidity, a word about evening g o w n s and accessories would be appropriate. « * * * • Gowns rpAFPETAS and satins, ever-pop- *• ular for winter, are again in vogue. A few chiffons are seen. White, pink, and new shades of blue and lightgreen are the outstanding colors of the season. Of course black is always well in evk dence. * * * * Waistlines and backs are down! Waistlines are now about one and one-half inches below the natural waistline and backs are extremely low cut. The silhouette shows that the newest formals are form fitting to the knees, and full, usually flared, to the even hem. heel length. * * * * Shoes and Hose ^UPPERS are either of a match- *~ ing color or of a decided contrast. The type of shoe worn depends upon the wearer's preference. * * * * An often disputed item is the color of hose. Dark hose should never be worn with light colored dresses but only with dark shades. Flesh colored and very sheer hose are worn with pastel tints. Wraps »1«HREE - QUARTER and f u ll " lleannogrt h wraps of chiffon velvet, Proving popular with many women students of the school this quarter is the class in girls' club organization being offered by Miss Weythman. This is an elective course, for which- two hours credit is" given. In this course the girls learn something about the work of the various girls' and boys'.clubs, methods of organization, suggestive activities and program planning. They will also learn several kinds of craft work, and a few meetings will be devoted to camping activities. The first part of the course is being given over to the study Of the characteristics, interests and activities of the average girl from the seventh grade through the high1 school. Later on the local executives from the various organizations, including Campfire Girls, Girl Scouts, Girl Reserves and Pour-H Club will speak to the girls on their particular organization. The students will also probably hear a lecture on Boy Scout work, in order that they may start or sponsor Ja boys' club if the opportunity should arise in their teaching experience. o House Party Planned Viking Manor will entertain with a party next Saturday evening. Entertainment for the evening wlh, be in the form of games and dancing which is being- arranged for by the social committee. The Manor also wishes to announce that the recently remodeled club rooms and lobby on the main floor ar now ready for use by members and their friends. . . o •.

Williams Appointed Fraternity Officer Theateri^ildtPlay J Repeated This Week ;iUjJi Lennox Robmson, director of the Abbey theater in Dublin and recent speaker he^r.iwas. a visitor at the, new Theater Guild rplayhouse last Friday afternoon. Mr. Robinson stated that.-the, Guild stage is the exact, size of that of the Abbey theater and that their modern lighting systems are almost identical. The Abbey theater, however, seats 550 persons because of the * additional space afforded by the balcony, That the Theater Guild of Bel-lingham has very-creditable equipment for so young an organization was Mr. Robinson's opinion after a tour of the building. He was especially interested in the stage set for "A Doll's House", which is also in the repertory of the Irish Players. The cast of, "A Doll's House," Theater Guild production, headed by Mrs. Tim Healy and Mr. Frank Burnet, who is the husband of Mrs. Ruth Burnet, adviser of the Northwest Viking, repeated the play at the Theater Guild playhouse on the evenings of January 20 and 21. These performances were given for students and others who were unable to attend the previous appearance. o Short Play Started By Drama Members "Bound East for Cardiff," by Eugene O'Neill, is the first of a series of one-act plays selected to be produced so that Drama club members not taking part in the quarter production may have experience. It is an entirely male cast, including James Butler, Marshall Bacon, Clinton Gross, Charles Anderson, Frank Allyn; Paul Jackson, Jack Mallahan, Robert Roberts, Richard Stearns, Vernon Leatha and A. E. Charlesworth. Other one-act plays which will be selected in the near future will be presented by appointment to different organizations and some will probably be presented in school as semblies. o Manchurian Situation Outlined at Meeting Mr. Pelagius Williams, of the social science department, has been appointed by the national president, Leroy Alln, to the office of lieutenant governor of the state branch of Pi Gamma Mu, a national honorary social science fraternity. There are over 200 members of Pi Gamma Mu in the state and their work consists mainly of social problems and their solution. A quarterly magazine is published by the society, which covers the work of the society throughout the U n i t ed States. The Pi Gamma Mu society was organized in 1922 and has made remarkable progress in their field since that time. Mr. Williams will work with Dr. Samuel Wier, of the College of Puget Sound, who is state governor of Pi Gamma Mu. In addition to Mr. Williams, other faculty members are: Edward J. Arntzen, James Bever, Nora B. Cummins, Leona Sundquist and Emma S. Erickson. — o———- Melanie . Eisner spent the weekend at her home in Zenith, Wash.

But we still insist that this Viking bunch will be hard to beat on their own floor, and will cause all visiting quintets plenty of trouble. ,..,;; . o o One of the most modern mysteries is—*'What has happened to the University of Washington basketball team." Four times Northwest conference champion, and with four of its foe members veterans from |fei/ years team, the Huskies find themselves in the enviable position of being deep in the cellar of the Northwest Conference race. Even little Idaho is one notch above the once-proud Huskies... Oh, well, every, dog has his day—in the cellar —and it looks like the Husky is having his turn there now. o o—— The sporting world lost one of its greatest sports writers and football coaches early this week when Sol Metzger passed away after complications had set in following an ear operation... Metzger; who was 51, seemed to be on the road to recovery np to within a few hours of his death... He was a former football coach of the U. of Penn* Washington and Jefferson, West Virginia, Baylor and the U. of South Carolina. He starred on the University of Pennsylvanai football team in 1901-02-03 and coached the Penn championship team in 1905. o o Fairhaven high school hoopsters have done themselves proud thus far this season. Four Class A victories in as many starts gives them undisputed leadership in the league. Last Tuesday the Grizzlies toppled Ferndale 19-8, while Lynden was denting the dope-bucket by dropping the strong Mount Baker five 21-20 in as fast and close a game as has been seen in the prep school league this season. o o Intercollegiate tennis, golf, rifIery, and all freshman competition except crew and basketball have been wiped off the University of Washington's program for the remainder of the school year...

HAGGERTY VERY GOOEr ED by their stealer .'•"veteran,. Jimmy Rork, the Nor mal Vikings took an early lead and never relinquished \ o t i t throughput the sntire game to defeat St. Martin's college 35 to 31, Saturday night. The game was played on the Whatcom court. Although the Vikings led the entire game, the outcome was always in doubt. The game proved to be a hard checking, fast breaking scrap, from start to finish. Both teams displayed a smooth clicking offense. Bangers Rangy *"" St. Martin Rangers put an exceptionally tall team on the floor. Led by Sibilla and Haggerty, the Rangers had Normalites worried at times. Taylor, who scored seven points for the visitors, used a one-handed shot from the center lane to a great advantage. Haggerty, of the Collegians, scored nine points for his night's work. Sibilla, who followed Taylor with six points, and Bufkin, who had his hands full checking McBeath, both were seen in action last fall when St. Martins was guest to the Viking football team. Vikings Work Hard Sam Carver's boys, determined to win, started out by running up a score of 19 to 14 at halftime. In this half, the Vikings led most of the way by one point, up until the closing minutes of the period when they lengthened it to five points. Starting out the second half, the Vikings jumped their lead up to 24 to 15, only to have the Rangers run up four points in quick succession. Again the Carverites started clicking and ran up their biggest lead of the game, leading 30 to 19. Rangers Rally Haggerty replaced Taylor at center, who in turn replaced Hill at forward. With eight minutes left to play, the Rangers hit the basket for ten markers in quick order, bringing the score up to 29 to 30. At this point the Vikings called time out, and coming back, McNeil converted a foul shot while Clint McBeath dropped in two beautiful long shots. Haggerty came in with a short shot, and both teams were fighting the ball as the gun ended the game. Scoring Spectacular As far as the Vikings were concerned, the scoring of Jimmy Rork, center, was about as pleasing as a check from home. Rork hit the basket for sixteen markers, all field goals. Clint McBeath, who scored seven markers, .from forward post, played a bang-up floor game, as well as furnishing his two timely longs that meant victory. Wahl, "Mac's" running mate, came through with five points, while Kienast, who didn't figure in the scoring, and Johnesen and McNeil all played fine games at guard. The Vikings were handicapped throughout, by being unable to control the tip-off, which accounted for a number of the Rangers' points. Preliminary Interesting The Normal Jayvees step out of their class in the curtain-raiser to the big game, and were defeated by the Pacific American Fisheries five, 39 to 21. Gissberg, for the Jayvees, accounted for five of their points. The P. A. F. was led by Fred Haick-el with 13 points, while his brother, Frank, and Leach each chalked up nine points. Iver Moe was referee of this fracas. The games were witnessed by a fair-sized crowd. Earle Jewell officiated in a very creditable manned in the main game, which was unusually free of fouling. The Vikings will play the Rangers a return game on their floor, February 20. The Line-ups follow: Vikings 35 St. Martins 31 Even such an unusual event as the recent snowfall and cold weathr er could not dampen the spirits of many .members of the W. A. A. hiking team. Saturday, December 16, twenty-two enthusiastic girls donned their warmest clothing and hiked to Toad lake over the snow-cbvered trails. ' After the exhilirating hike to the lake the girls had some real snowball fights, roiled snow angels, and hiked around near the lake. Before the return trip cheese and hardtack, which had been brought by a couple of thoughtful girls, was enjoyed by the cold and hungry hikers. Due to the unusual weather, this trip proved one of the most popular taken by the girls so far tfhis year, according to Miss Lillian George, faculty leader. Tomorrow, January 24, the girls will go on another short afternoon hike. The choice of the destination for this trip is Lake Padden, and every girl in school is cordially invited to join in this Saturday afternoon activity. o INTRAMURAL LEAGUE COMPETITION FASTER McBeath 7 .... .....F...:;.... .......

This intramural league is getting to be quite a fast circuit. By the looks of things the depression is over, as far as intramural basketball is cincerned. A galaxy of former high school stars are the backbone of the interschool conference. Each quintet in the league boasts and praises the merits of their leading opponents on the maple court. Looking around the league the Co-Op five, first-half champions, draws first fire. The Thugs are out in front of the circuit and no questions asked! . They won the first-half thumbs down. But the other seven clubs are promising better teams this half. In fact Vanadis Bragi, after taking a terrific lacing from the Wonders last week, made Viking Manor play some pretty nice ball to win. Two teams in the league that are expected to give the Thugs a run for the second half pennant are the fast Wonder five and the Viking Manor quintet.

HFLLINGHAIVI, WASHING Thursday, December 1 7, 1936 New Certification Plan Adoptecl Life Diplomas Abandoned Under Revised System; Six-Year Standard Certificate Offered Normalite —By Jack Rauch Most Important of the matters to come before the State Board of Education meeting in Olympia on December 7 and 8, was the adoption of the new plan of certification.of teachers for this state. This new plan will take effect September 1, 1937. The issuance of life diplomas will be dis-continued September 1, 1938. Under this new plan the first certificate issued to anyone is a three-year certificate. This one may be renewed once in the elementary field for a period of three years upon completion of 15 quarter hours of credit. The minimum requirement for elementary certification is three years of preparation and for secondary certification is five years of preparation. The secondary certificate may be renewed without additional preparation. ^ A six-year standard certificate which .may be renewed every six years will be offered in the future. In the elementary field the six-year certificate is issued only to those who have completed a four-year course and have had at least two years successful teaching experience In the secondary field the standard certificate will be issued to those who have completed five years preparation and have taught two years. The standard certificate in any field may be renewed with two.years of successful teaching and quarter hours of credit. Three of these may be earned by travel or acceptable professional work. Those Now that Mrs. "Wally"'' Simpson has finally been declared the "win-nan" in the big ten-day headline bout, and with this all-American pigskin toters selected, we may once again settle down to NORMAL and do a little cramming for those quarterly examinations. Those students from Reed college, who formed the Institute for Political Research, and paraded through the streets of Portland waving ban- •ners: "Simpson for Queen—God Save the King," were not far from wrong—that is the (save the King) part. Some dark dismal night when you are leaving the main entrance of the building and aren't sure of your foot-work, due to insufficient lighting facilities, this little bit of information might help you. In the last terrace of stairs, which is divided into two sections, there are in all 22 steps; 14 to the first landing or mezzanine and 8 to the last. (You may check the latter statement with anybody that has played shootey-shoots down them.) Time Marches On—but still the controversy to and fro concerning the training of reserve officers in our American schools and colleges. President Robinson, of the City College of New York, called the R. O. T. C. a "liberal democratic method of mamtaining our national defense." Rev. George D. Bull, of Fordham university, summarized the purpose of military training in our educational systems in this forceful sentence: "There must be some form of training, for there are things that are greater than peace; there are things which a man, even in his private life, will fight and die for." The thing which Rev. Bull so dra-maticaly means is SECURITY, which every patriotic American will fight and die for the country he loves. Did you know that the radio program, "Your Hit Parade" (you pick the three most popular songs of the day and win fifty cigarettes) costs the American Tobacco Co. $170,000 currently each week? These astounding figures easily make George Washington Hill, president of the Lucky Strikes, America's No. 1 purchaser of advertising. His greatest annual record was $20,000,000—all spent for cigarette advertising in 1934. An aging football season, soon to expire in the pagan pageantry of the Rose Bowl, has shattered the myth of invincibility authored by Rockne with the "Pour Horsemen" of Notre Dame. No successor of Rockne has yet appeared, though Layden's shoulders may yet wear the crown becomingly. "The days of undefeated football teams are1 over;; at least of major undefeated teams," so says Layden after summarizing the shattering events of last Saturday's game between Santa Clara and Texas Christian. The new modern football team will probably be just ever-changing, intermingling, lengthening shadows, if these same results happen year after year. To practice Communism, successfully, according to theory, you must divide things. To do that, you must have some rich people with money and things worth dividing. No wonder there are so many Communistic' organizers around .the country; but I bet if the shoe was on .the other toot they wouldn't be so crazy about a split.

Beiswenger Talks To School Group On New Project World Project-a-Plan Presented To Campus School Teachers At Meeting George Haviland, Henry Pete, Gordon Bond To Holiday In New York City Plans for Collaboration on Text With Eastern Educators Anna J. Beiswenger spoke to a group of Training school teachers last Monday afternoon in room 143, on the subject of the "World-Project- a-Plan". Clark Frasier, elector of teaching at Cheney Normal, is the editor of the plan, which was conceived by M. C. Merriam, president of the organization. The suggested plan involves a small projector which uses movie film, that has, on the average, 12 pictures per strip. Each strip of film is about 12 inches long and is placed in the pocket of a pamphlet which describes the scenes on the film. This booklet also suggests ways of presenting the pictures and gives questions which will cause the children to do research of their own. The projector is simple to operate and it is possible to stop on any one scene on the film for any length of time. This machine and the service of giving new sets of pictures, which are made at the rate of about 12 a month, is to be given at a cost so that it will enable the teacher in the small country school to afford it. It is expected to be of the most help in the small school that has limited reference material. Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Bond will spend the holiday season in New York City with their daughter, Eva, and sons, Austin, Guy and Eldon Bond. Dr. Bond, Mathematics instructor, will leave here on Friday after school closes to join Mrs. Bond, who left at the frst of the month. Dr. Bond will collaborate with three Eastern educators in making an arithmetic text book for elementary grade school work. He plans to return to Bellingham State Normal some time in April. School Orchestra In Last Program Bushel! and Company Rousing Finale Present Girl Reserves Sponsor Tolo Saturday Evening Saturday evening, December 19, the Girl Resei*ves will sponsor a Christmas dance, at the Aftermath club in form of a tolo. The price of admission is 65 cents a couple. Miss Clara Burchette, general chairman for the dance, is planning to make this one of the most prominent dances of the season. The Christmas theme will be carried out in blue and silver decorations. During the intermission, light refreshments will be served. o Fall Work On 1937 Klipsun Is Complete "Already the fall work on the 1937 Klipsun has been completed," stated Margaret Thon, this year's editor. So far, 165 Junior-Senior pictures have been taken and sent in to the printers while last year there were only 168 pictures taken the whole year. Students entering as Juniors and Seniors for either winter or spring quarters will also have their pictures taken. Also in the art work many snaps have been taken and the art for the book has been started, under the direction of Eleanor Reasoner, art editor. Annual Christmas Tea Held Sunday The annual Christmas tea was held Sunday, December 13, in the Blue room of Edens hall. All the members of the faculty and their wives were invited, each dorm girl acting as hostess to one member of the faculty. A program was presented consisting of a few numbers by the'Edens hall choir, piano selections by Christine Albers, a reading of Van Dyke's, "The Other Wise Man," by V. H. Hoppe, a vocal solo by Nancy Hutton, and cello compositions by Don Bushell of the Music department. After the program group singing was lead by Mary Jane Moergeli. The Christmas tea is held each fall quarter and is the biggest tea given by the girls of Edens hall. Tuberculosis Sale Explained by State Director Buchanan Lappenbusch Will Scout Rival; Others Visit Seattle The school orchestra under the direction of Donald Bushell presented a group of selections in assemby Tuesday morning. The selections played were from the works of Bellini, Humperdinck, Behr, Bizet, German and Halvor-sen. Mrs. Bushell, John R. Williams, Boyd Spees and Paul Luster-man, well known in Bellingham music circles, played with the orchestra. Mr. Bushell's orchestra and band have been very active during the quarter. The orchestra has played on several programs about town, and the band has added much color and enjoyment to the football games. Tuesday's assembly was the last of the fall quarter. o Alkisiah Spreads Christmas Cheer Sale May Exceed Last Year's; Money Used for Prevention Of Disease A Christmas party was held in the Edens hall clubroom by the Alkisiah club, Monday night, December 14. Usually names are drawn and the members give a small gift to the person whose name they have drawn. This year a collection was taken, the money to be used to buy gifts for a needy family. The visiting nurse told the club mem bers of such a family. A committee has been chosen to select the gifts. Games were played early in the evening and refreshments were candies wrapped in green cellophane. Honorary members present were, Miss Mildred Moffat and Miss Mira Boothe, and the faculty advisors, Miss Elizabeth Hopper and Miss Charlotte B. Richardson. That the Christmas seal sale of the Washington Tuberculosis association this .year will, exceed the- total of last year was the firm conviction of Mrs. Bethesdad D. Buchanan, State campaign director.

Same Old Wish So another year rolls round again and how well we know we've made mistakes. We've misspelled names —we've misquoted—we've mixed up dates and places—we've been too conservative—or too liberal —too dull—or too frivolous, but no matter how we've erred be assured it was all with the best intentions. By the time you return next year we trust you will have forgotten at least the most glaring of our shortcomings— then only the files will remain to tell the tale. And so with the hope that you will "forgive us our trespasses," the Viking Staff extends to you all SINCERE WISHES FOR THE MERRIEST OF CHRISTMASES AND THE HAPPIEST OF NEW YEARS. o SWAN SONG The retiring editorial staff wishes to take this opportunity to thank all the students and faculty who have so graciously borne with them and have cooperated so willingly during the closing year, 1936. They recommend with confidence the new staff, headed by Harry Kluge, and wish them success in the forthcoming year. -o : Peace On Earth-~~ At the birth of Christ, the adoration of the lowly shepherds was as welcome as that of the wise men. The Star shone for both low and high alike, typifying the spirit of brotherhood taught by Christ. This appeal is still alive in the ideal' of Christianity today, and for this reason probably no holiday is so universally celebrated as Christmas. Certainly no holiday is celebrated with the same feeling of good will and kindness. Since we are through I wish all thought of you Would leave me With the swiftness and'the grace Of a shooting star Falling into space. J. W.

We do not know whether or not this constitution has been ratified by the Soviet States, but that is beside the point. A news account of the trial and execution of the seven traitors leaves much to be desired before the people of Russia will even approach the standards and privileges that the people of the United States of America enjoy. After a brief trial, better than a sham trial, that consisted mainly of reading the confessions obtained from the prisoners by methods not disclosed, they were herded into cells and N executed in the dead of night by Stalin's henchmen. Even in Russia reports say that the confessions of these men were obtained by the severest third degree methods. Certainly the undercover work of the executions leaves one in doubt. Listen, you lucky people—nothing in the operation of the dictatorships in Italy or Germany, or the so-called government of the people in Communist Russia calls for any envy on the part of the Americans, who may call their rulers what they like, and ridicule them at will, especially during campaigns before national elections. o — Following the footsteps of their fathers, 246 sons of Yale graduates were entered this year in the university freshmen class.

The platter's always sure to slip When father carves a duck, And how it makes the dishes skip! Potatoes fly amuck! The squash and cabbage leap in space, We get some gravy In our face, And father mutters Hindu grace Whene'er he carves the duck.

Holly JOE MARTTNOLICH, Mgr. Making their debut into Pacific Northwest conference circles, the Viking quintet will face the Albany Pirates tomorrow night on the local court. Albany, the weak sister of the conference and co-holder of the record for consecutive number of defeats in football are rated as the dark horse of the Northwest league for the 1936-37 season. The Pirates have three victories neatly tucked away under their belts in pre-season tilts. The Buccaneers were especially impressive in their 67-11 win over the Newport Pilots. Squad of Giants Boasting a squad of six-foot giants, Coach Don Faber expects to take the Vikings into camp. This is Faber's first year as head coach in the Albany institution and a win over the Norsemen will be a feather in his cap. Around four lettermen, Jim Davis, George Haviland, Pete Peterson, and Rae Marsh, Faber has built his 1937 outfit. Peterson is a six-foot giant from Hauser, Oregon. This big fellow is expected to give the Vikings plenty of trouble under the baskets. Davis, Haviland, and Marsh are also over the double yardstick mark. Furnishing plenty of competition for the veterans are such men as Tubby Manning, another six-footer and all-county star from Albany high. In Heinle Staben and Jim Garand, Coach Faber has two more giants. Both of these men were named on all-conference teams in high school. Other six-footers on the visiting squad are Gene Decker, Jack Lyon, Rodney Tripp, Henry Pete, and Charley Croston. "The boys look good," declared Faber after their first few work outs. "They have size, speed, are rugged, and good shots." Two Viking members will not be in suits when the Norse take the floor tomorrow night. Ted Dziedzic, scrappy guard, will be lost to the squad for a month with a broken finger. Bob Pence, rangy guard, was called to Indiana. Whether he will return or not is not known. Lappenbusch Names Lineup In choosing his starting lineup, Coach Lappenbusch has named big Bob Phair to start at center position opposite Peterson, of the Pirates. Harold Nelson, whose knee seems to have fully recovered, has been shifted to the backcourts to handle one of the guard assignments. At the other defense position will be Nelson's teammate, Johnny Anderson. In the two forward posts will be the veterans, Bud Vandergriend and Dick Carver. Waiting in reserve will be another quintet composed of Don Gagnon, Hugo Anderson, Johnny Fox, Chet Dombroski, and Spud Reed. Lappenbusch expects both squads to see plenty of action. Arrangements are being made for several other games other than those already scheduled. The Negro Globetrotters, a colorful traveling quintet, have been dickering for a game, while Seattle Pacific Hardware also wants to tackle the Vikings. Both games will probably be scheduled.

Flynn, Bellman, and Mc- Farland scored the Midgets' goals. By tossing in 2 gift shots with less than a minute to go, the Midgets registered their victory.

Rose Bowl Looms " U " in Whirl With Plans For Supreme Clash Cabin Nichols, Former Viking Student Writes Feature in Educational Journal Once again Normal fame has been spread abroad by one of its graduates, this time by former Viking staff writer, Calvin J. Nichols, in an article published in the November issue of the Washington Education Journal. Mr. Nichols, who attended school here in 1925, is at the present acting as Field representative for the WEA. Entitled "A Program of Public Relations," his treatise covers the effects of modern social condition on the relationship and gap between school and community social activities. In the absence of an adequate educational program, it is necessary for organized independent groups to support the burden of the essential supplemental social functions which go hand in hand with education. The attempt of the educational leaders is to acquaint the citizens with the service rendered by the school, to discuss and participate in sound legislation for the aid and development of education to its intended height, and to insure and provide a sound and constructive attitude from educators towards government, three points which it is hoped will form a worthy and substantial platform for the members of this movement. The WEA, as you know, has been instrumental in forwarding any cause beneficial to education and hopes to have this platform extended into legislation in order to fill the lacuna extant between the school and the public—and it was for that reason Mr. Nichols wrote the article. Sellout! That's a one word description of the big clash between the Pitt Panthers and the Washington Huskies at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. To enumerate the million and one things that are being planned both before and after this event, would be next to impossible. In order to give you some idea of the whirl of excitement that is sweeping the Seattle school's campus, here are a few of the plans; there have been over fifteen dances announced which will have the Rose Bowl motif; the campus was in an uproar over a."Miss Washington" . election until Tuesday when it was announced that Miss Beth Fitton would be the one to ride the Husky float in the Pasadena Parade of Roses New Year's day; yell leaders and rally committeemen are going wild digging up new card stunts and new methods of spoiling tonsils, and finally, drum mayoress Helen Bassetti is working her well-trained U of W band into a unit of perfection.

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

Nell Bryant, Former Visiting Nurse, Becomes Assistant to School Nurse Occupying Job Left by O'Malley A congenial personality, a lively interest in human beings, and a good background of experience make Miss Nell M. Bryant, the new assistant to Miss May Mead, the school nurse, a valuable addition to the school staff. She comes to us from the visiting nurse staff of Bellingham, having served on that body for the past six years. These nurses work for large companies, such as the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, for the county, the state and for individuals. Doing this type of work, Miss Bryant has been brought into contact with a great many people, visiting in their homes. The new nurse's assistant hails from the San Juan islands. She had her nurse's training in the Union Memorial hospital, Baltimore, Md., and had eight months' work in Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore. She has also had a course in public health at the University of Washington. Horses are Miss Bryant's favorite animals. She enjoys horseback riding and hiking,.is a member of the Mount Baker club, and takes part in Girl Reserve "work. She is very fond of flowers.

Kibbe Reminisces OUR FIRST FOOTBALL TEAM Bellingham Normal had its first football team in 1903. It was coached by R. W. Green, who came West as an attorney, having been star quarterback on the vtrsity of the University of Minnesota. There were thirty-seven boys in school that season. The following men were on the first squad: William Moultray, now working for Standard Oil in Seattle; John Swanberg; Pinckney White; Ben Phelps; Guy E. Dunning, later a state legislator and now a Seattle lawyer; Thomas Evens, who holds a position in the Seattle' postoffice at present; Joe B. Potter; Claude Miller; Leon Corey, of Bellingham; Max Hipkoe, present purchasing agent for the University of Washington; Ralph CampbeU, of Francis, Wash., and Leon Miller. Anarcho-Cynicism A Review by Wilson Waylett -Hurray! Music! Prefer Pearce To Politics By Syd Lines Ha-a-a-ah! It's good to relax! Election's over and the radio plays music once more. And that's the main thing; it plays and is ever ready to give us entertainment. Entertainment! The essence of the regular afternoon program of Al Pearce from KOMO every afternoon except Saturdays at 2 o'clock. Al, an exceedingly versatile master of ceremonies, presents an impromptu program featuring popular artists of no mean ability, such as the Three Cheers, Hazel Harner, Mabel Todd, and Monroe Upton. And he, himself, is several stars in one: he characterises Eb of Eb and Zeb. Hector Smith, and Elmer Burp with marvelous case. Eb and Zeb should the two old codgers interest you, are heard at 6:45 week days with the exception of Wednesday and Saturday, from KVOS. In contrast to .this light frivolity is the interesting series of programs NBC is putting on for the National Advisory Council on Education. We have been unable to determine the exact hour for these Thursday broadcasts but have a strong belief they may be heard in late afternoons. Next Thursday's program will be titled, "The Consumer in Modern Society." Edward A. Filene, president of the Filene Company will be the guest speaker. And then to cure fits of despondency, take a liberal dose of Phil Baker the comic dog artists sponsored by Armour on NBC tonight at 6:30. If not potent enough, get in a half hour earlier and try Phil Harris. You should have had your fill by then. (Oh, read it again). The outstanding dance offering the week might be Waring's Pennsylvania from CBS Thursday at 6:30. Perhaps you will prefer the more artistic arrangements of Paul Whiteman as NBC. presents him Thursday at 7. Tom Coakley offers a nice brand of rhythm from KGO and KJR Sunday evenings at 9:30. At 11 o'clock comes the old timer, Tom Gerum, from the Oakland station. And one thing to steer clear of— Little Orphan Annie, NBC, 5:45 Monday. The Gobble-uns'll getchew! Wanda Reeder, "Tulip Queen" of Bellingham Normal school, is now principal of the Garfield .school in Olympia. Roy Mohr, of Lincoln school, and C. E. ' Becker, of Washington school, are other Olympia principals who are alumni of the Normal. Lobby of Heaven and On Grim Irish Island Scene for Melodrama In heaven's lobby, Jane Wyatt meets her • future in the strange melodrama, "Lost Horizons.^ She has committed suicide because her lover deserted her. In the twenty scenes of the play, we find Jane reading the histories of the lives that would have, been bound up with hers had she stayed on earth. She would have helped a playwright by appearing in his play and saved the life of a convicted murderer. Finally, into heaven's halls walks the playwright who would have been her husband, but he fails to recognize her. Normal in the Days Of\Keplinger And Rankin Different By Mary Hibner The editor sent a note to the author of this article. It asked for. an article on the old days and specified only one thing—that it must have glamour. Now the author might be able to write an article— she might even be able to write about the old days—not too old—but glamour she has always lacked so the editor will have to take what he can get and like it. It is customary, in looking back into the past, to progress in decades. This is going one year better partly because the author was not here ten years ago and was eleven years ago and partly because it seems to have been the year when the most happened. Eleven Years Ago! School started that year, as this, on the first day of October. Edens hall was new. The debris of the old building was still in evidence where the cars now park. It was President Fisher's first year here. The athletic field was finished, named after the former president, W. B. Waldo, and somewhat roughed up with its first football game. The athletic teams, previously nameless, were christened the Vikings.. The name was. chosen by contest, and in awarding the prize Prexy expounded upon its appropriateness. That was in the days before "col-yums" made the paper. The Northwest Viking was the Weekly Messenger, commonly referred to as the Weakly Mess, and a very.sedate little paper it was, too, filled with news, student opinions (plenty) and occasional attempts at literature. Poetry Respectable Poetry was still considered respectable. It was even possible to win a bright gold coin if your poem was judged better than the rest. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1934 November 9 - Page 3 ---------- •f?0 ?•'•"' Tf^l^~ o gt;OSrOI ' WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, kEUJNGHAM. WASHINGTON Vikings Battle Savages For Top Position Tomorrow Scrappy Battle Expected When Savages and Vikings Tangle in Homecoming Classic Saturday Cheney Gridders Will Be Favorite Because of Many Victories Scored So Far; Bagley Will Lead Viking Gridmen in Tomorrow's Big Contest. By Phil Campbell When a snarling Savage meets a fighting Viking one can expect a pretty good battle. Just such a fight "will take place tomorrow afternoon during the annual football game between the Cheney Savages and the Bellingham Vikings. Cheney, fresh from her recent victory over Ellensburg, will be out. to make it two straight in conference victories and the tri-normal championship. The Vikings, on the other hand, have been pointing for this game all season and are all set to avenge the crushing defeat handed them by the Savages last year. A win for the Lappenbusch men will put them in a good position to take the conference title. Cheney Has Impressive Record If comparative records mean anything in a game like this, then Cheney will be rated the favorite on her record so far this year. Cheney has defeated such strong elevens as the Idaho Prosh and the Lewiston (Idaho) Normal team. Two weeks ago she took Ellensburg, last year's tri-normal champs, into camp and last Saturday the Savages knocked over the WSC Babes, 6-0. This record shows 'that Coach Red Reese has quite a formidable aggregation. Peterson Is Big- Threat A look at the starting lineup might give a better picture of what will happen out on Waldo field tomorrow afternoon. Cheney's big threat and a man that is liable to cause the Vikings plenty df worry is Peterson, the Savage fullback. He is rated as one of the outstanding backs among small college teams "in the Northwest. It was he who last year ran through the Viking line for many long gains. But it won't be Peterson alone for the Reesemen. Gall, McNew and Barnes round out a very versatile backfield. On the forward wall will be Danekas and Heineman at ends, Captain Dech and Blair at tackles, Gronrath and Bauman at guards, and Green at center. This gives Cheney a fast, hard, charging line that will make-tough going for the Viking backs. Bag-ley Is Captain . Captain Art Bagley will lead the Viking gridmen against the Savages. Bagley is having one of his best years of football in college competition. Along side of him in the backfield will be Fay Franklin, the boy with the ghostlike hoofs. Max McKensie will probably get the signal- calling job with Cal Davidson at the fullback position. On the line will be Alpaugh and Coffield at ends, Frender and Jim Miller at tackles, Tomco and Ullin at guards, and Waara at the pivot position. Savages Have Most Games Cheney Has Won Six Out of Ten Battles; /Vikings First Four; None Since Not since 1927 have the Bellingham Vikings been able to turn back the strong football teams of Cheney Normal school, after defeating them in the first four games of their annual engagements since 1923. The Vikings coached by Sam Carver in '23 won the first game between the two normal schools by a 27-13 score, going through Ellensburg for the tri-normal championship. The following year during Carver's absence, the team was coached by Elwood Davies, who again put out a tri-normal championship team by beating Cheney and Ellensburg. The last Viking victory over Cheney was back in '27, when the hill-toppers won 6-0 from the Inland Empire boys.

It was no use, for Thor and his fellows quenched the lightning with gallons and gallons of water. You know that when a Norseman goes to sea he is at his best; at least, that is what Otto Finley says. He's the one that is responsible for this paragraph. o o o Individual stars in the CPS game were hard to pick. Eleven men played bang-up football throughout the whole game. In the backfield, Tarte and Bagley made up the best defensive combination and Davidson and Boggess made long runs with the help of that stellar back, McKensie. Tomco, Ullin, Frender, Miller, and Coffield were the shining lights in the line. o o o WELCOME, GRADS! Reminiscing about last year's Homecoming game, we wonder what Sinko, Sulkosky, Smick, Claypole and the rest of the boys are doing? We hope that then-bright and shining faces will favor us on this, our Homecoming weekend. We've heard from Otto Finley and Hank Mitchell and they promise that they will be at the game to give their vocal assistance to the Vikings. With the WAA By Bernice von Pressentin Canadian Alumni Are Visitors Here Monday Visiting the school last Monday were Mr. and Mrs. Albert Tidball. Mr. and Mrs. Tidball (Margaret Black) graduated from the school in 1926. Both were active in school affairs. Mrs. Tidball served on the editorial council of the Weekly Messenger, which was the name of the school paper at that time. The Tidballs now reside in Bow-den, Alberta, where Mr. Tidball operates the general store. Vice-president and Women's league representative are to be elected next week at the WAA meeting. Rather seasonable time, elections here 'n' there. Nominees are: vice-president, Dorothy Isaacs and Ethel Bromley; Women's league representative, Do-nalda Grant, and Ethel Mae Swan-son.

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

Shenenberger has edited the weekly for the past two quarters and previously served on the staff as assistant business manager, managing editor, and sports editor. The proposed social calendar for the school year of 1935-36 was presented to the Board by President Gordon Millikan. It was accepted by the Board with one alteration. Because of the similarity of campus day and the all-school picnic, the group decided thai; the all-school picnic should be struck from the social calendar. With this change, the calendar was ready for the consideration of the Faculty committee on student affairs. School to be Represented An invitation was recently received from the Pacific Northwest Institute of International Relations, at Portland, Oregon, urging the school to send as ceiegates to its annual convention two students interested in this work. The Board considered this matter and voted to send the delegates. It also recommended that a committee of faculty and students be appointed by the Board to name the students who j The Final Week Is Here! GRf\D - WE MUTE Representatives Dropped by ICC Organizations Will Not Be Able To Attend Fall Nominating Convention (Contniued on Page Four) Norjnalite COPY » * * * COMMENT * * * » CHEERS! • * * o CHARM By Harry Goheen Hearty greetings to my enormous public. I have never written this column before ("that's clear", I hear you sneer), and probably never will again, so this is undoubtedly the best Normalite I'll ever write. In spite of my inherent modesty I can't help feeling rather important writing a feature like this—do you know that no less a person than Arthur Brisbane gets paid a fabulous sum for a column in the same spot as this one in the Seattle P.-I. and elsewhere? Of especial interest to music lovers was the Normal school assembly last Friday. Tastefully costumed in Russian dress, the Normal School Women's chorus and the Belling-ham Singers' club gave a delightful program of Russian music. Particularly well received by the audience was the lovely interpretation of the Russian folk song, "Kalinka". Sue McMillan played a piano piece. * * lt; • * * I suggest for student persusal the four volumes in the library entitled "The International Jew". These sane and sociologically well-founded books are reprints (1921) of articles which appeared in Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent shortly after the war. They are small books but they are absolutely packed with scientific facts. It will give you pause to read "How the Jews in the U. S. Conceal Their Strength". You will be shocked to learn how "Jewish Gamblers Corrupt American Baseball". You will be horrified to read of "Benedict Arnold (the traitor) and His Jewish Aids at West Point" in 1780. Your blood will boil to learn about "Jewish Hot-Beds of Bolshevism in the U. S". and you will exult with the Dearborn Independent over the fact that "Dr. Levy, a Jew, Admits His People's Error". * • * . * • * . . Now that the Men's club has arrayed itself in its true colors, a burning issue has presented itself. (Continued on Page Four) Because of failure of representatives to attend two consecutive meetings the following organizations have been dropped from the Inter-club council; the freshman class, the Junior-senior class, the Men's club, the W club, the Social Science club, the Thespian club, and the Valkyrie club. These organizations will have to apply to the faculty committee on student affairs and the ICC for reinstatement. When a club is dropped from the council, it loses its status as an organized club of the school. It may apply for reinstatement at the first ICC meeting in the fall. These clubs have also lost the privilege of attending the fall nominating convention. The rule of dropping the clubs has been in effect for some time, but has never been enforced before. o Infirmary Nurse Leaves for South The Hospital is soon to have a new woman in charge. Miss May Mead, nurse, has been busy for the past week, interviewing applicants for the position. Mrs. Ella Woods left May 28 for California. Mrs. Woods came here 11 years ago from Seattle, where she was employed in a university fraternity house. Before leaving she commented, "I have enjoyed caring for the student patients at all times, and have found it a pleasure to cooperate with Miss Mead". Miss Margaret Reynolds, sister of Mrs. Woods, is taking charge of the hospital until a new practical nurse Is appointed. Pup Gets Favored German-Minded Dog Sleeps and Enjoys JSelf ..' It has been suggested that a puppy club be started in the German class for all resident and visiting dogs who suffer from insomnia, devoted entirely to the care of these animals. One dog was treated, with excellent results, during recitation Monday. And not even subjunctives disturbed his slumbers. When the bell rang, he rose with the. students, stretched, yawned, and ambled out as though he'd been attending class all quarter! Results, we calls it! Editor's note: Must have been a dachshund. Summer Assembly Programs Planned Kindschy Puppets Will Appear As Special Feature With a variety of musicians, speakers, and the Kindschy Puppets, the summer quarter assembly program offers interesting entertainment. The Kindschy Puppets open the list on Friday, June 2, in a special assembly at 9 a. m. At 11 a. m. the Seattle Mixed quartette will sing. The following Tuesday a concert ensemble composed of piano, violin, and concert baritone will appear; on June 28, Professor Sneddon of Columbia university will speak. The July 2 assembly will feature Christine Russum, flutist. Louise Van Ogle, professor of music at the University of Washington will lecture on Finald July 5. Continuing the musical programs will be Cornelius Van Vliet, cellist, on July 9, and Robert Crawford, baritone, on July 12. Dramatic readings with musical accompaniment presented by Edith and Alan Kopelson will offer variety for the July 16 assembly. On July 19 students will hear Lucia Chag-non, mezzo-soprano. Dr. Thomas S. Barclay of Stanford university will speak on July 23. As the last July assembly John Crowder, professor of music at the University of Montana, will present a piano program. (Continued on Page Four) Art Exhibits To Be Given Soon Prints, Etching, And Photography Will Have Showing Here Next Quarter Two art exhibits, one of block prints and etchings and another of photography, are to be featured during' the summer quarter. The block prints by Norma Bassett Hall are unusual because they are done in colors. The etchings are the work of Arthur Hall. Although the arrangements have not been completed, the photography exhibit by a young Seattle artist, John Yaw, will probably also be given. Miss Dorothy McHvain who is making the arrangements, says that his work is mostly plant studies, which are very good. He also does some portrait work. The Campus Elementary School Art exhibit was put up last Thursday in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade rooms. It consists of the best work each child has done during the year. Some class projects, such as mural paintings, a wall hanging, block prints, and illustrations of plays they have given this year are on display. . o Bob Roberts, former Normal student and member of the Viking staff, has recently been pledged to the Sigma Delta Chi, journalistic honorary. Roberts is now a student at the University of Washington. GRADUATION CALENDAR Saturday, June 8—Alumni day 7:00 p. m.—Alumni banquet, Crystal Ball room, Hotel Leopold.

Speeches by Fisher and Weir Will Honor Grads Next Week At Class Day, Commencement Plans For Building Are Presented to Federal Engineer Government Appropriates Bigger Grant for Fund; Construction May Be Larger In the nature of an application for funds, plans for the new Physical Education building were submitted to E. R. Hoffman, federal engineer in charge of the PWA, by President C. H. Fisher in Olympia last Monday. From Olympia the plans will be forwarded to Washington, D. C, for examination. "Hoffman looked upon the plans with favorable consideration", the Prexy reveals, "but no work can be done until returns are received from Washington". The Washington State Normal school at Bellingham was the first state school to request building appropriations to complete its plans. President Fisher reports that the building, with accommodations for both men and women, is even better suited to the needs of this school than former plans. The swimming pool occupying the central part of the three-unit building is five feet wider than the U of W pool. Because the Federal government is allowing grants for 45 per cent of the appropriations instead of 30 per cent, the original grant, a larger building may be constructed. "If the plans are approved in Washington and the fund appropriated, we will have the best gymnasium for a school of our size in the state", Fisher comments. - o -— Normal Instructor Honored Recently Columbia University Gives Award Of One Year's Study Miss Lucy Kangley, instructor in the Normal's English department, has been awarded a $1200 scholarship in the ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 June 7 - Page 2 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, A COLLEGE OF EDUGATldN.BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Established 1899 Published every Friday except during the month of September by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal School, Bellingham.

PHYLLIS ROBINSON Society Editor MARGARET MORSE Exchange Editor HELEN HOSTETTER Staff Artist BEVERLY HOLIDAY — - ......Staff Artist Students, Not Clubs, Should Take Criticism Finally the Inter-club council has come to life with a decision that knocked seven organizations right out of existence. Clubs have been warned that they would be dropped if their representatives were absent from two consecutive meetings, and finally action has been taken. This does not mean that those groups will not be eligible for reinstatement, but it means that they will have to become active partners in Inter-club council business to be again recognized. Although the action taken by the council affects the seven organizations, it is really the student representatives from each of them that should be criticized. Surely when a student is nominated and elected to such an office he should realize his responsibility to the group, at least to the extent of attending the few council meetings that are held each quarter If the students were really asked to spend a great deal of time for the council work there might be some excuses. However, with such simple duties to perform they should have no comeback. The work of the Inter-club council in the past has been none too successful. With the earnest cooperation of each organization in school, however, they should be able to accomplish some commendable things toward the furtherance of club life. And So, Goodby For the Year The last issue of the Northwest Viking for the regular school year of 1934-35 goes to press.. To those who graduate we give our sincere congratulations; to the new and old friends that have made the school year more pleasant, we wish success; to others we have not met we wish well; and to our contributors we say "thanks!" Peggoty's Requiem By One Who Knows- PEGGOTY, PRUNELLA —Entered into rest Friday, June 7, 1935, 11:60 a. m., beloved mistress of James Peggoty, her faithful old dog. Funeral Friday, June 7, at 12 a. m. p. m. Member of the Pride of the West lodge No. 1,999% A. F and A. M. The shadow of the grim reaper has once more passed over our midst and we find: that his heavy hand has rested upon our dear Aunt Peggoty. Mortally wounded by a murderous group of Normal students, our dear Aunt died with her chin up and a stiff upper lip. As I, her last, only, and most faithful admirer, stepped up to deal the dearth blow, ishe raised her gray head and with the tears welling from her big brown eyes and streaming down her wrinkled old face she feebly whispered the famous last words of the immortal Caesar, "You too, you brute?" Thus Miss Prunella Peggoty is no more and TIME MARCHES ON! Dear Mama, This graduating business—it is getting me down. First it was the banquet. I spilled soup in somebody's lap and then took a drink off of the finger bowl and then stuck the fork through my upper lip and broke off a tooth and then they all laughed and the big Swede gave us each fifty bucks. When we got up to go I stepped on a rug, slipped and fell, and skinned my elbows and knees. And to top it off I didn't know the elevator was up on the fifth floor. I picked myself up and climbed out of the basement. Upstairs I found a phone booth and tried to call a taxi. The string on my nickel broke. I couldn't get out of the darn booth. I poked my elbow through the window. Along came the clerk—I picked myself up out of the gutter in front of the hotel. Then there was baccalaureate. It was a solemn occasion. We marched in solemnly and all of a sudden my foot slipped and pulled three others down with me. The songs—I almost forgot the songs. I couldn't find the page, but when I did it was the wrong book so I just whistled. And then commencement—more marching. I stepped on my gown and tore it off all the way around the top. It left a little collar around my neck. It tangled up in my feet and somebody laughed and the big Swede gave us each fifty bucks. When we went to drop our cards in the little box in the pavement I guess I must have slipped or something 'cause the next thing I knew I was sitting on the pavement with my shoe caught in that little box. I tugged and pulled but couldn't get it out. Finally I unlaced it and left it in there. It's probably still there. I never want to go through it again—these graduation exercises— my shins, my feet, my elbows, my gosh! With love, YOUR SON. Staff Offers Apologies To Critical Followers Of Unpopular Keyhole Angry buzzings have reached our ears that Keyhole has been mistreated— that the Viking without Keyhole is like Hamburgers without onions—that above all the gossip is necessary. For three weeks they have been duped—smart-alecs have satirized that tradition! We apologize! We only felt that we were doing our duty—that Keyhole was not worthy of our high standards—that we should act—and act immediately! And when we acted, we committed an almost unpardonable sin! We were no longer giving our readers what they wanted. How can we make amends for our error—if it is small enough to be called an error? Too late we have learned our mistake— and many of you will go out of these halls of learning feeling that your education is sadly neglected— that something is definitely lacking. When you take your place in the world of men, you will not be able to stand on equal ground with those who were graduated from Normal in previous times—and all because of our attempts to make a play upon the darling of so many Normalites. We humbly apologize —can we say more? And as proof of our apology, we offer—GOSSIP! PE.GGY FOSTER is certainly going for ARNE JOHNSEN'S LITTLE BROTHER in a large way—and little SHANGLE has finally noticed NORMAJANE GORSLINE, has been for some time. We could say more—but time, and space, and perhaps the libel law won't allow. Are we forgiven? o Magazine Money Our Bard Dips Into Future; Lacks Soul You may be able to "hang your clothes on a hickory limb" but you can't go swimming in the new PE pool. No you can't—you see the pool hasn't been built and besides the neighbors might not like the nudist colony idea. Of course if you just must get wet, you might try one of gardener Dack's sprinklers when he isn't looking. Sprinklers may have their advantages, but they leave duck diving out of the question. Another possibility consists of closing all the doors and drains in the shower room and turning on all the spigots when no one is around. Again there is a danger—your heart may fail you and you would die of hydraulic excess. Oh yes—the reservoir. But there is a fence and a city ordinance, and remember yflu drink that water—when you drink water. Klipsun Autographs Unless you get to be a Max Baer, a Jack Oakie, or rich enough to have a check book, next week will be as close as you will ever get to publicity and writer's cramps. May I have your autograph? Careful with that signature! When you put it in a strange Klipsun to be bandied about by philangeostopaths (finger psychiatrists) who, if you become famous may say, That Mr. U— wouldn't lift a hand to aid the starving Chinese because he had a hangnail on his little finger, and international rings of forgerers hemming and hawing us at every step. What with the kidnapers, the banker, and the tot still at large too.. .. Nobody is hardly to blame for this balladian sonnet. As the eternal ages onward roll, And grind to dust your shriveled soul. And on this page you see my name, But memory can't my face reclaim. Warble some old and sadder l y, And you'll feel the same as I look today. Leave the gum behind your ear; I'm not stuck up even if I can write poetry. Another Russian Play; Well, We Think It Is What Else Can It Be? Shining, tinkling coins have always played an important part in the lives of human beings. It is to that monetary interest, which poet and peasant must share alike, that the articles in many current magazines appeal. * * * * "Speed and control . . . will tell the success or failure of the four billion dollar Work Relief program". With this statement Bernard Kil-gore begins his article, "Spending $10,000,000 a Day", which is one of the features in the May 18 issue of Today. The better part of four pages is spent in detailed explanation of this assertion. * * * * Still another article on the relief program may be found in the May 22 New Republic.

To start with, Coach Carver had only a squad of ten possible men whom he could count on for points, turning out. Out of these ten there were only three lettermen. Lacking a pole vaulter, shot, and 440 man, the Norsemen faced the strong CPS and Ellensburg teams at Tacoma, and managed to take second with 38 points. Don Holder was the outstanding man of the day for the Vikings, collecting twelve points. He won the broad jump, high jump, in which he tied for second. Other firsts were Taylor, in the mile; Brinkman in the two mile, and Arne Johnsen in the low hurdles. A week later the strong Washington frosh team was the conqueror, when they upset the Vikings 81 to 40. Here the school teachers grabbed only three firsts; Johnsen in the hundred, Kenoyer the 880, and Taylor in the mile. Johnsen was high point man with seven points; taking first in the hundred and second in the low hurdles. Holder high-jumped six feet only, and tied for second. - Previous to the tri-normal meet the Vikings met the Cheney team in a'dual meet and took the short end of a 80-51 score. Again only four firsts were tallied by Belling-ham. Taylor won a beautiful 4.34 mile, and Johnsen a ten flat hundred. Kenoyer and Sargent tied in the 880 and Holder won the high jump, making him high point man for the Vikings. I n the tri-normal meet at Ellensburg, Don Kenoyer and Holder were the shining lights. The former set a new record in the 880' at 2.01 breaking the old mark by two- 19 Girls Awarded All Stars in WAA Many Athletes Are Given Letters At Normalstad Dinner WELLMAN'S Jewelry Shop Gifts for all occasions.

Holder was high point man of the meet, and accomplished revenge by winning the high hurdles and broad jump, defeating his rivals, Walter and Beyersdorf, who both took him.the week before. The only other first for the Vikings was Johnsen in the 220 dash. Several outstanding marks were made by Viking cindermen in spite of the defeat suffered. Holder increased his high jump mark to six feet, also broad jumping close to 22 feet, and running the high hurdles under 16 seconds. Johnsen ran the hundred in ten flat, showing considerable improvement over last . year. Kenoyer's wonderful race at the tri-normal proved his ability as a half miler.

All the regular men on the squad were able to earn their letters and that speaks well for the Vikings in games won. The team consisted of the following men: number 1, Ladd Shangle; number 2, Jack Joly; number 3, Roger Mullen; number 4, Mon Orloff; and number 5, Oscar Starlund. The Norsemen were defeated in their first match of the season by CPS on April 25. Shangle and Joly were, t h e only men able to win their singles, but Mullen aided Joly in the doubles and the team lost by only one point. On May 6, Mount Vernon Junior college came to Bellingham to take a trouncing at the hands of the Vikings. Normal won 6 to 1. The strong Frosh team took the Vikings by the same score that Normal had beaten the Junior collegians. Coach Carver's men went to CPS with a new hope and came home victorious with a 5 to 2 win in their pockets. Ellensburg defeated the Vikings 4 to 3 in their next encounter and at the tri-normal, Bellingham was again beaten by the Wildcats. Mullen was the only home town winner in the tri-normal. He managed to annex the second singles title. The final game of the season was Failing to win a single game against college competition, the Viking nine this spring experienced one of the most disastrous seasons in the school's history. The^team registered three wins, but two were against the Whatcom and Fair-haven high schools, and the other against a local town team. The season opened with a four game series against CPS, which the Loggers swept through with four straight wins. In the third game of this tourney the Vikings made one of their most determined efforts to break into the win column when they held a lead throughout almost the entire game, only to be nosed out in extra innings. The only other college team Which the Viking met was the UW Frosh nine, in a home and home series. Both of these games were won by the 'freshmen by rather close scores. One of the chief reasons for the team's failure to win may be attributed to the lack of a strong pitching staff, although the outfit was also rather weak in hitting. Players who earned their letters were: Reis and Tooley, pitchers; McKenzie, catcher; Kvinsland, Stutz, Johnson, Severins, Zwaschka, and Vander Griend, infield; Al-paugh, Wooten, McCleary, and Miller, outfield. . o with the U of W Frosh, Bellingham again lost although they derived some satisfiction out of the meet when Orloff won his singles and thereby earned his letter. With the WAA By Joan Hoppe As we tread these venerable halls for the last time we seem to hear the echoes of many footsteps and the laughing voice of carefree students who have long since left the shadow of these ivy-covered walls to face life, with all its petty strifes and cruel disappointments (teardrop) . Gazing upon the old familiar places, memories of the many happy hours we have spent and the true friendships we have made here (teardrop) come flooding back to us. Now we are ready to take up the torch, thrown to us from falling hands. "Be ours to hold it high". Quote—Pg. 272 "Speeches for Special Occasions." Purpose—to fill up space.

You may scoff and snicker up your sleeves at their odd ways and simple manners, but if you could see them in their own native surroundings. With only the starry sky for a roof and only the warm (?) earth for a bed, these hardy folk face the raging elements single handed.

WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, A COLLEGE OF EDUCATIQ^ Present Editor Is Reappointed Students To Attend International Relations Convention Next Month {Continued from Page One) will represent the school at this convention. The fact that the business manager of the Klipsun spends much time and effort without receiving any substantial reward was brought to the attention of the Board. The decision was reached that after this year the $100 previously paid to the editor should be split, the editor receiving $75 and the business manager $25. Vote of Thanks Given Since the success of the tennis court dance and a number of other student entertainments this year was due, for the' most part, to the financial aid of the freshman class, the Board agreed unanimously that a vote of thanks be sent, to that organization. —o Assembly Program Given by Songsters Boson Pleased With Cooperation Shown by Students "The performance that the Chorus gave in assembly May 28, gave the students rather helpful experience in learning how to put on this type of thing, which is very popular in schools and communities at the present time", stated Nils Boson of the Music department. "The spirit of cooperation that prevailed was gratifying and unusual". The costumes were made by the girls in the Chorus and they were excused from no class to accomplish this task. The same program was put on during the Rotary convention at the American theater. Mr. Boson felt that it sounded better here because of the large size of the theater. o Normal Graduates To Be Guests of Alumni At Banquet Saturday Girls Not Phased By Rain, Smoke On Camping Trip Prepare Dinner Over Open Fire For Thirty WAA Members And Guests Smoky food and rocky beds did not dull the enthusiasm of the Campcraft class when they went on their field trip to Normalstad last week-end. Nor did the fact that it rained early Saturday morning dampen their spirits nearly so much as it did their sleeping bags. It was all part of the game and sand and cinders which occasionally drifted into the biscuit dough or goulash added atmosphere. Despite grandmother's warning that cooking cannot be learned in a day, the class proved such adept pupils that they were able to serve 30 starving WAA members and guests with a meal of baked beans cooked in a bean hole, vegetable salad mixed in a milk bucket, creamed peas, and strawberry shortcake which was baked in a reflector oven over the open fire. As evidence that the meal was palatable, most of the diners returned for a second helping. The girls who were on the trip can be recognized by queer little whistle cords (usually minus the whistle) which they learned to make at camp and of which they are duly proud. Plans are being made for the annual Alumni day banquet by Miss Georgia P. Gragg and her committee, to be given in the Crystal Ball room of the Leopold hotel, Saturday evening, June 8, at 7:00 p. m. Speeches will be made by representatives of the classes of 1900, 1905, 1910, 1915, 1920, 1925, and 1930. Special guests at this banquet will be all the June and August graduates. Invitations were sent to all Alumni informing them also of the financial conditions of the school at the present time. About two-thirds of the cuts in salaries and wages for the faculty, and office staff employes have been restored. During the past year the enrollment in the regular school year and in the summer session increased about 20 per cent. The committee headed by Miss Gragg hopes that there will be many who attend the reunion and banquet. Campus Publication Undergoes Change Only One Issue Made This Year By Elementary School Contrary to the usual procedure, the Junior Viking, Campus Elementary school publication, is being issued but once this year. In the past, there have been two yearly issues, one in the fall and one in the spring. Several of the classes have individual papers and pamphlets, making one copy of the Viking a year sufficient. Some of the material used is selected from these class productions. The magazine serves as a standard for creative drawing and writing on the part of the students, in connection with their classes. The magazine itself is divided into two main sections, the first in larger print for the children of the lower grades, who also supply their own illustrative material. The second half is ha smaller print, and concerns the activities of the upper grades. Both sections are composed of illustrations, summaries, and poems. The pages are mimeographed, and the cover of yellow paper is decorated with an original woodcut. The parts are assembled by those on the editorial staff. The staff consists of students in the eighth grade: editor, Mary Ab-rams; business manager, George Boynton; art editors, Kathleen Cooper and Marion Lee Barlow. The reporters are: Mary Ann Bin-zer, Margaret Hilton, June Cory, Patricia Crowley, Charles Larrabee, and Richard Baumberger. The reporters collected the news while the staff, with the aid of their adviser, Miss Bertha Crawford, assembled and wrote the selections.

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

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

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

Facism Threatens America Black shirts for Italy, brown shirts for Germany, and now we have silver shirts for America! Let no one believe for a moment that Fascism in this country is not a growing, dangerous thing. It is not pleasant to contemplate a movement based on pernicious anti-semitic propaganda, intensely narrow nationalism, combined with fanatical, mob-appealing mysticism. The organ for this Mussolini-Hitler hybrid in the United States is "Liberation" published by William Dudley Pelley. Just as Hitler is poisoning the minds of the German school children with adulterated history books, so is this man doing incredible harm with his cleverly deceptive bit of putrid journalism. Fight it! Northwest History Early Bellingham Newspapers —By Nancy-Jane Smith The New Leisure Another Challenge For the Schools —By Calista Simonds Schools Belong To The People Last week we stressed the need of a more active campaign for the support of the public schools by those interested in the future of America. Outstanding for its simplicity and directness is the statement of California school superintendents published in the Sierra Educational News for December. This pronouncement applies just as well ot Washington. The Schools Belong to the People We are determined that the people of the State of California voho own and operate public schools shall also control them. We believe that a system of public education free to all children of all the people from the kindergarten ..through the university is necessary for the maintenance and preservation of our democratic, political and social institutions. We recognize that the state has resources sufficient to meet its social needs, and we believe that finances adequate for the support of its educational program should be provided by a just and charitable system of taxation based upon the ability of the citizens to pay. We need more such clear declarations, not only in educational journals, but in the magazines and newspapers read by the masses. Perhaps, then, we can hope to stop the idiotic idea of paralyzing state educational institutions while the government proceeds with another wild armament building spree. What's What By June Larson Are things getting complicated in England! Mr. Arntzen has us all dizzy with the perpetual maiden, cat, mice, bumble bee, clover, and prosperity cycles. It's a good thing we don't have to depend upon the number of cats there are to regulate our male population. Out of the past where work was the objective of youth and leisure was the goal made possible through its achievement, emerges a new era in which leisure becomes another phase of work, the art of which must be taught to the individuals. This new leisure as a challenge to the educators of America, is the theme of an article appearing in The Journal of the National Education Association for January, 1934. This article is an excerpt from the book, "The New Leisure Challenges the School", written by Eugene T. Lies, who has. made this study for the National Recreation association. Mr. Lies points out that teachers do not yet realize the extent of the present day leisure, due to the fact that training schools are not laying much emphasis upon the subject. One superintendent, whom Mr. Lies approached on the subject, declared: "The whole outlook upon life and* its composition must be modified, in the minds of educators. We have looked upon the preparation for the job as'being the big thing and as synonymous with the whole of life. In further quoting this educator, Mr. Lies offers an antidote for this through shifting our emphasis to the bigger portions of life, namely rich living. This constitutes an imperative call upon education to take a larger hand in the solution of the leisure time, in the judgment of the author. To achieve this he suggests a cooperative system between the schools and the communities. Although making it clear that an outlined program would be essential, Mr. Lies fails to supply .one. This, doubtless is due to his realization of the differences in communities. In recognition of leisure as a factor for good or evil, depending upon the use of it, Mr. Lies asserts, "Leisure can degrade or elevate, can blast careers or enhance them, can break down health or build it, can bring everlasting grief or minister to continuing happiness, as it is used or abused." Submitting an undeniable basis for the great concern on this imminent problem, Mr. Lies presents the fact that the objects of choice for leisure activity are tremendously more numerous at the present time than at any time in the history of civilization. ....It looks as if the prophecy of a good political battle for the coming election was no sham prediction. If you still think the situation is a bit too balmy—listen closely to the speeches coming up this next Tuesday... We predict that you will be surprised at the happenings. (Think that I will become a politician if this turns out right). o n,ngiisti Usage Synonyms and Things —By Calista Simonds I guess Frender gets the cake for gettin' his autographed eggs broken. When I last heard he had five of 'em and the latest was squished ickily all over the floor in front of the bulletin board. Hoban has the right idea! He just wraps his up in a set of winter flannels and doesn't have to worry. With Christmas only a memory, except for the bills, and the new year fast becoming old, the time has come to speak of other things, of nouns, and verbs, and adjectives, and synonyms, and things. How would you like to be limited to one suit for all occasions? Of course you wouldn't, and neither does your vocabulary. Give it a treat. Brush up on your synonyms. Here's an interesting group: New, novel, modern, recent. No one needs to tell you that they all mean something similar, but are you aware that each has a fineness of meaning that is different? If your friend has a new hat, she just isn't wearing an old one. If she is wearing a modern ---------- Northwest Viking - 1934 January 12 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. BELLTNGHAM. WASHINGTON First Game at 7:30 J. V's vs. Pay'n Takit Season Opens with Vikings vs. Loggers 3K8 lt; SPORTS By Lindsley and Shenenberger The Northwest Viking hoop squad is getting cocky! Although they have good reason to be, they are set to go down in humiliating defeat if they continue being so, overconfident. In their game against the Harlequins last Monday it took them an entire half to get going and then it was their offensive playing that clicked. They have lost only one game out of seven in the intramural league and are going to raise this percentage if they can. The team members are sure that they could give any high school team a trouncing and they probably would... In Hudson and Stone they have two accurate scorers, while Campbell, Stockton, and Kean are able to stick to their men and hold them down. Campbell looked good in the passing attack Monday. There is a game with the Jayvees in the offing for the reporters. Although it is a litle- late, we would like to add our bit of praise to Bobby Grayson, Stanford back-field ace. He ran wild in the second half against Columbia during the New Year's Rose Bowl game even though he had cracked two ribs'1 earlier in the game. Just watch his smoke next year. Bill Tilden has proved his mastery at tennis again. Wednesday evening he defeated the recently turned Pro., Ellsworth Vines, in straight sets. The scores were 8-6; 6-3; 6-2. Although Tilden is 41 years of age, he was able to dominate the match with the former world amateur champ from California. Rumors have been heard during the last week in the sport circles of the school about a proposed change in the awarding of sweaters for spring sports. It seems that after many years, golf at last is going to be put on an equal basis with tennis. Whether these sports will both be classed as major activities is not known as yet. However we have learned from an inside source that an attempt will be made to get major awards for the links and net men. Ellensburg will this year make golf a major sport and it is expected t h a t Cheney will likely follow suit. In our own opinion, we believe that this school should follow the others and make golf into a major. If t h a t were done then tennis would not have to be dropped to a minor sport. The Varsity second test of the 1934 basketball season will come next Thursday when they meet the Pacific Lutheran college five over on the Whatcom courts. This is one game that, in the past, the Vikings have usually won. However, this year, with the P. L. C. quintet rated stronger than ever and the Viking team consisting of untried men, anything might happen. The P. L. C. five is led by Jack, at center, Willard, at guard and Moe, a scrappy little forward. * * * * The swallowing of one live goldfish is the only requirement for membership into the "Goldfish club" organized among the upper-classmen at Roanoke college. Does anyone want to pledge? Minnesota co-eds are liable to a $10 fine or six days in jail if found wearing a fraternity pin, this being a'violation of a state law. Larson Discusses Current Problems (Continued from Page Two) never before has the United States spent so much for war preparations, never before has an economic crisis been so severe, never before has human want been so widespread. We are marching, marching on— 1914? 1917? . —Cultural Barbarism— Out of the 40,000 high school students graduating in Germany during the current year only 15,000 are going to be permitted to attend college. Ever since the Hitler regime has come into power Germany has headed toward cultural barbarism. The utterances of the silver shirts, reconstructed Ku Klux Klan,*, khaki shirts, etc., according to John Stra-chey, could be paralleled by German prototypes; He further states that their extreme illiteracy, the insanity of their program when inflamed by race prejudices, intense nationalism, class hatred is not so negligible as one may think. .... The rise of fascism in America is highly probable. We must fight it. I t is only through the militant, collective action of the intellectual and manual workers tfiat such a reversion to barbarism can be avoided. Big Smoker to Be Featured by Many K O Boys Tentative Line-up of Scrappers Is Fairly Well Arranged for " W " Event With the biggest W club event in many a moon only two weeks away, the only drawback seems to be finding opposition for the hefty battlers who are waiting the gong on Friday night, January 26. It was hoped that "Three-Punch" Sinko, the Raymond Assassin, would be in the ring. He will be unable to put his rat-tat-tat on exhibition as teaching activities prevent, but will be seen as third man in the ring for the boxing. W i t h "Two - Punch" Johnsen definitely out, having failed to break the concrete sidewalk when diving off the industrial arts porch last Friday night, and "Battling Clutch" Toby not in school, the linpup has been hit hard. But with a nucleus of grid stars awaiting action, such as "Big John" Odell, Mike (Stranglef) Tomco, "Big Bull" Frender, the Bremerton Shipbuilder, and "Wild Bill" Ames, from Buckley, the heavyweight division ought to be taken care of. In the light-heavy division, there are "Battling Beans" Gillies, "Sheik" Ullin, from Southwest Washington, "Her-miston" Hammon, from Oregon, "Crooning Cal" Davidson, Ed (What-a- Man) Hudson and George Willis, the Enumclaw Thunderbolt, for the middleweights. o Northwest Vikings Open Second Half With Hoop Victory Led by Shenenberger, scrappy Viking guard, the newspapermen ushered in the second half of the intramural schedule with a 36-to-16 victory over the fighting Harlequins. By scoring fourteen points Shenenberger took high point honors. Lindsley, Viking forward, and Jones, of the Harlequins, tied with eight points apiece. The first half was rather slow, with frequent fumbles occurring on both sides. At half time the score stood 12 to 6 in favor of the Vikings. The winners opened the second half with a much smoother passing attack and soon ran up the score. Jones and Hamman looked good for the losers. Stone, Viking forward, was not in the lineup because of illness. o Thugs Defeated by Co-ops in Ragged Intramural Game The Co-ops, strengthened by Mo-scrip, smothered the Thugs, a newly formed combination of the Men's club and the Revelers, 33 to 21, in a hoop frolic Monday night. Hall led the Thugs with six markers while Moscrip was high point man of the game, with ten points to his credit. The score at half time was 20 to 8 for the Co-ops. The game was loose with much wild shooting, both teams showing effect of the vacation and lack of practice. This was the first game for the teams in the second half of the intramural schedule, and the players are expected to bear down later in the season. o Beverly Hall elected officers for the winter quarter and Lois Weeks was re-elected to the presidency. Marie Clancy will again act as so cial secretary. Harlequin 5 Defeat Daniels Hall Squad In Intramural Tilt The Harlequins, broke the ice Wednesday night, by trouncing the Daniels Hall five, one of the league's leading teams of the first half season. Hammdns' 7 points in the first half kept the Harlequins out In front. The score at the half was 14 to 7." Mullins, flashy Harlequins guard, scored 8 points and put the game on ice for the Harlequin five, the final score being 25 to 10. Daniels Hall men did not show as well as they did the first half of the season, because they were without the services of several of their former players. The scoring honors go to Mullin of the Harlequins who made 11 points, and Ames of Daniels Hall who made 11 points.

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

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

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

Fisher Is Re-Elected POSITIONS} LEFT VACANT BY RESIGNATIONS UNFILLED. The Normal Board of Trustees met Friday, April 17, for the purpose od adopting a policy regarding the ad justements made necessary by the recent budget cut. • Changes were necessary in both faculty salary reduction and an increase in student fees. It was decided to make a five percent reduction in the salaries paid at the Normal including the president, faculty, office staff and employees. Student Fees Increased Since the teachers share in this cut it was felt that it was only fair that the students too should share in this emergency situation. In view of this fact, there will be an increase amounting to five dollars per quarter in the existing fees but no new fees will be added. In commenting on this change, President C. H. Fisher said: "We had to either add on to the present student fees or drop members of the faculty and we felt that we could not do this without crippling the work of the school. At this meeting the policy was adopted to preserve what has been built up during the past years."

Scribe Seeks Sight of the Sovereign Vancouver Visitor Vanishes From View Of Siam; Instead She Sees Svasti (By HELEN FOSTER) April 17th, when Canada and the United States had their first glimpse of Royalty with the arrival of the King of Siam, I held an interested position as one of the many spectators who thronged the street outside the Canadian Pacific Railway station waiting for the royal party to disembark. Well, this is the closest I haye ever been to Royalty, to say nothing of an Absolute Monarch, and then I didn't see King Prajahipok, but I did see his father- in-law, Prince Svasti. •'',1'.':-The.'

At home in Bangkok, the prince is the owner and editor of the Bangkok Daily Mail, a newspaper which has both British and American correspondence.

Thomas, Normal student for the past seven months, in a local hospital. Miss Thomas' home was in Prosser, Washington. She graduated from Prosser high school and then entered Bellingham Normal in September, 1930. Miss Thomas withdrew from school April 7. She was taken to the hospital April'8 and operated on that day. Two weeks later she died. o— NATURALIST PLANS SPEECH HERE SOON F. W. SCHMOE, SCIENCE CHIEF, WILL ILLUSTRATE LECTURE. In the assembly on Tuesday, April 28, Mr. F. W. Schmoe, the well-known Western naturalist, will present an illustrated lecture entitled "The Cruise of a Sea Gypsy in Alaska." Mr. Schmbe is the executive secretary of the Puget Sound Academy of Science, which has its headquarters at the University of Washington. He lectured in the Normal assembly two years ago, having as his subject "My Wilderness Neighbors," based on his observations around Mt. Rainier. He has been cruising in Alaska in a forty-foot sailing boat, coyer-. tag, over..3;000 miles of- waterways, having many very interesting "experiences and securing a splendid set of pictures. The pictures, which he himself takes, include almost everything from glaciers to Indian mummies and sailing to big game hunting (with a camera). These pictures are made into colored slides, and used in illustrating lectures. __ o WOMEN'S GROUP VOTE OFFICERS IN FOR THREE QUARTERS STARTING IN FALL While political controversy in the feminine world has not raged as violently as in the all-school affair, there is stili much doubt as to who will gain the honors in the Women's League election. Today in the regular assembly the votes were cast to decide which girls would lead the women's organization for the Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters of 1931 and 1932. Offices filled at this time were president, vice-president, s e c r e t a r y, treasurer, and faculty adviser. Girls whose petitions received the necessary twenty-five signers and who automatically became nominees were Vera Esleby and Katherine Frost for president and Miss Ruth Piatt for faculty adviser. Other names which received various numbers of signers were: Clara Stokesberry and Cathleen Hill, vice-president; Edith Jenkins and Bessie Taylor, secretary; Mary Tarbox and Elizabeth Squire, treasurer; and Miss Hazel Breakey, faculty adviser. These names were nominated from the floor, since the necessary quota of signers was not obtained on the bulletin, board petitions. MISS,||ICH TO ATTEND MifellNG IN SEATTLE Miss Mary E. Rich, president of the Washington State Branch of Administrative Women in Education, will attend the meeting of that organization tomorrow in Seattle. The meeting will consist of a luncheon at the Wilsonian hotel and a ousiness meeting for the election of officers. .-:: ,;} :• Other faculty members who will attend the councU are: Miss Mar-jorie Dawson, Miss Elsie ,Wendling, and Miss Anna Beiswenger, ^i: INSIDE AND OUTSIDE GIRLS SET DATES FOR SPRING DANCES MAL 11 TO 16 BUSY ONE FOR NORMARLITES WITH VODVIL, PICNIC AND DANCE DATES STARTS TOMORROW Swinging all cares to the winds the coming social season is guaranteed to put springs under the heaviest-laden pair of sport's oxfords and to make vivacious the most languid of over-worked and spring-fevered Normalites. The season will start out with a bang in the form of a big game with St. Martin's on the local field tomorrow afternoon. On the heels of this first game of the season will come the track meet with C. P. S. on Wednesday, April 29. To hail the coming;of the wonderful month of May the WAA girls have decided to invite the whole school to a "Jitney Dance." It is to be held on the old tennis courts. The proverbial "three dances for five cents" with the ladies standing in the lines that such a dance requires will lend the right amount of atmosphere to an event that already shows promise of being one of the ticket sellers of the year. Drama Club Picnic Pop will be sold for the meager price of five cents and the girls have promised to have on hand all the pop that the Normalites can consume. Those on the committee for this dance are. Nina Johansen, Josephine Sabloskie, Marian Grieve, Marie Wesseler, Dorothy Top, Frei-da Klinski, Hildur Johanson, and Winnie DeWitt. ,. _ ,v, j ,»/ May 9 will hailthe^coming of the Drama club picnic to be held at Shoreacres. "According to the reports that have been received the picnic will be one of those that last all day. Plenty of amusement is offered in the form of swimming, and games in the afternoon, dinner at 6:30 and a dance in the evening. Normalites, of icourse, will not want to miss the Men's club Vod-vil, which, after much discussion, is to be given on May 11. Jokes, (Continued on Page Two) o :— C. A.

SSSBSEP •-.— •- -3036 The Viking wishes to express its regret on hearing the news of the death of Evelyn Thomas, who had been a student here since September, 1930, and to extend the sympathy of Bellingham Normal as a whole to her family and friends. .-——' ;—o- : ; ADVERTISE! There are so few, if any, in the school that do not take pride in the whole make-up of the institution, that they do not even count when the final score is tallied. But for the large number that enjoy the surroundings and the life offered to them, recognition is a great thing. It has been called to the attention pf The Viking several times that the people of Bellingham, in the main, know comparatively little of what is going on up here beneath ^ehome^ ,i We have met up with experiences where visitors claim that they have trouble in finding the school, and in asking for information find that 'people of. the city know little or nothing of the place. Some even are vague as to where it is situated. In other cases it has been proven that sometimes no interest is taken in the school whatsoever. It is a large problem as to who is to blame for such a condition existing. But education is needed,in some sugar pill form. It is no credit to the townspeople,and Jess than that to the school. It is true that it is not a policy for the school to carry on a wholesale campaign of advertising on the school that is perched on the hill. It is quite valuable in many ways to have the place and its activity well before the eyes of the Bellingham public. . F r o m their side of it, they are to be criticised in general for not taking . more interest in a group that brings many dollars into the town each week. .There.are those, of course, that back the school to the limit. ,^"llie. Viking is anxious to see that the school gets more recognition in ;trjei future, but is at a loss to find a way of accomplishing this. It will welcome any idea the students can submit and will take the responsibility ci. putting over an "educational" campaign, if it can get hold of one at ^ail feasible. The students that have any ideas are asked to confer with . the local office at some convenient date. VIOLA WASTERLAIN PRESENTS GROUP OF VIOLIN NUMBERS. PRESCRIPTION—DEATH! Apparently the clubs of the school are dead—at least that is the thought that has been expressed by many during the last several years. As this issue seems to be a strong one with many, The Viking set out to find statistics and information that would substantiate such a statement. Little success was met with. After all it was found that only a few of the clubs are really dead. It appears that several of those that make social activity hold the center of the stage, are having a hard time to weather out the "depression." A great many, however, are working regularly on some special topic, and are anything but defunct. The clubs that we speak of as social should not be ranked as institutions having irresponsible membership, poor leadership, or any other charges that picture the personnel as more or less dead. It is not the fault of the people that have joined these in the past few years, but merely a matter of changes in the daily routine of the school. .There was a time when Normalites depended on these groups for the major part of their social life, a thing that is vital to the students, and consequently good food for the lively club parasites that fed on it. Each year the social calendar of the school has been made fuller and more rounded. Today it supplies practically all that the students can absorb in their actual school life, and the need for; these clubs has been less and less through it all. There are so many types of these groups that it is impossible to make all statements and views apply to them, and thus we point out none in particular but apply everything in a general way. To those groups that have international problems, the study of politics, history, foreign relations, the religious and athletic sets, it is evident that they are working in the enlightenment end and do not get a great deal of opposition from school society. These are in many cases held together a great deal by the classroom contact between teached and leader. Those will continue to thrive. fAs to the clubs that are having a hard time to labor against the school activities, we feel that they will be better off when they gradually die a natural death. Then if they are missed and needed it will be little trouble for them to again take on growth. At the present, though, sev-jeral of them are at a standstill. THE RIGHT SPIRIT It isn't so good when an organization starts on a project in the entertainment type and then fails to give it. But when they immediately retaliate and get ready to go through with it for sure on a later date, they are to be complimented. The Men drew criticism when they called their show off, but they were justified from their standpoint. They were unable to go through with the, thing as planned, they didn't want to give a "half-baked" production. They are working harder than ever now and in the end will show something to the students that will be above the original. But more important than anything is the fact that they will be keeping an indirect promise made to the student body. if!!!

Showing unusual musical depth and great technical facility in her playing, Miss Viola Wasterlain, acclaimed by critics to be one of America's foremost violinists, appeared in assembly Tuesday, April 21, accompanied by Mr. John Sund-sten at the piano. Miss Wasterlain, whose home is in New York City, is temporarily at home in Tacoma, Washington. This young artist is distinguished by her winning of five separate and distinct scholarships from Cesar Thomson the noted Belgian violinist.

WASHINGTON In the Ellensburg Campus Crier a note that the track, squad pic-tores were taken and that there were thirty-five men; out in suit. •These, men think that they will really.have a good chance at copping high honors at the Tri-Normal meet. ' Were all these men oat to have their pictures taken or are they really on the team? Anyway it is nice to hitch your dreams to a star. Last Tuesday in a practice game, Thorson showed up with a little speed... Campbell was on third and Thorson was on second. Thorson decided to steal a base so away he Went... When he got to third, Campbell was still there and so he had to go back to second, and, he made it. That looks like a little of the **ol pepper" is in there pitchin*. * Q * - And now they have put the skids on boxing. A few days ago the faculty committee at the University of Washington ruled out inter-collegiate boxing. That is a tough hreak, Washington. The boxing team in the last four years has been doing good work and Coach Norm Kunde has been a good coach. Of course, it is the right of the committee to role thusly. Maybe the idea is a good one and maybe not. That, naturally, must be settled by future developments. Is it just personal view points or is there really something the matter with boxing? * Q * Percy Williams, sprint champion star of the 1928 Olympic games, will come to Bellingham some time this summer and compete against any sprinter in the 100-yard dash and in the 100-meter events. Williams wants to limber up and gel in some competition before entering the 1932 Olympic games where he meets Eddie Tolan of Michigan, who defeated him. lost year. * Q • Well folks, tomorrow is the day of the first baseball game of the season. The Vikings will meet the St. Martin's Bangers on Waldo field at two o'clock. i The squad of boys' are pretty green yet, but after tomorrow's battle they will be in much better shape. Dixon, Thorson, McCIeary, Iverson, and H. McCIeary are the veterans and they will have to help the boys along a bit. Well, let's get out and give the boys a big hand. • Q « How does the typical track man measure up with the typical gridiron performer? Statistics. comparisons of the members of last fall's championship Cougar football team and the present track and field squad reveal that the average cinder artist is shorter, lighter and younger than his grid brother. The figures show the average track man 5 feet 10% iches tall, 161 pounds in weight and 21 years old. The football average of last fall was 5 feet 11 inches tall, 181 pounds in weight and 21.7 years old. JIMMY DAVIS IS INDIVIDUAL WINNER BY CINCHING 20 OF THE 87 POINTS SCORED. SOPHOMORES 38 And last week in the inter-class track meet the frosh beat the upper classmen by a score of 87 to 38. Davis, a frosh from Burlington, Was the high point man. Three cheers for the frosh and fripre power to the sophs and it looks liMe: there :is some good material in the frosh outfits. _ -. • .:;, o ^— Last Wednesday afternoon the Varsity baseball team took on Whatcom high for- a practice game of nine innings..

With a total of 11 first, 10 seconds an dthe remainder in thirds, the yearlings far outplaced the up-perclassmen who had a total of but 3 firsts, 5 seconds and a few thirds. This defeat dealt out by the ambitious Frosh was even more staggering than the one of last year, and points to some very good material for Coach Carver's cinder artists. Time for the runs was considerably retardted by a stiff wind that slowed the runners on the straight away. Frosh on Top From the opening event the Frosh held the upper hand and at no time did the Sophs show themselves to be outstanding opponents for their rivals. In the first event, the 100-yard dash, the . Frosh jumped immediately in the lea,d when Thomas, Gable adn Campbell rolled in nine points for their team. Thomas won by a hairs-breadth in 10 and 4-5 seconds. He also took the 220 in 24 and 1-5, with Gable a half a stride behind. Probably the most outstanding contender of the meet was Davis, Frosh, from last year's Burlington track team. Winning four events— high hurdles, low hurdles, high jump and broad jump, to make himself high point man of the dual meet with 20 points, proved that he will be a valuable addition to the Normal team. Bright Fast Norm Bright, Soph, turned in very exceptional time in the 880 and 440. Although not running his favorite event, the mile, Bright made the half mile in 2:05, and the one lap race in 54 seconds.L In the field events, Sutton of the Frosh won the shot and discus with distances of 35 ft. 7 in. and 100 ft., respectively. The Tri-C club held its first meeting of the spring quarter on Wednesday, April 15. Plans for the spring quarter social activities were discussed and reports made upon the Candy Party to be given at the Y. W. C. A. sdmetime in the near future.

It was decided that the contracts must be kept at all costs. Several members of the faculty have signified their intention of resignation and their positions will not be replaced. Mr. James A. Car-rell will return to Northwestern University to continue his studies and, while his present position in the Speech department will not be filled, a new adviser to the Northwest Viking will be employed. It was decided that the new adviser who is not yet named, will carry no other classes and devote all his time to journalism. Miss Winifred Spieseke, who has been a substitute teacher in the Social Science department during the past year will leave. Miss Ilah Hull, training school teacher of the third grade has resigned her position, and Miss Esther Stallman, reference librarian, has resigned to return to the Middle West where her home is. Possibly other changes will be made in the library staff later on for financial saving. Sundquist Will Return Miss Hilda Rosene of the Science department was granted a leave of absence for next year to continue her advanced study at the University of Texas. Miss Leona Sundquist will return next fall to resume her teaching in the Science department here. She has spent the past year teaching in Lincoln School of Columbia University, New York. Mr. Herbert E. Fowler, who is on leave now at New York University, was granted an extended leave for the coming year' to continue his work there. Fisher Re-elected President Fisher, whose term of office expired in September, 1931, was re-elected for another term of three years, resident Fisher came here in July, 1923, and will have completed eight years of service this summer. .

We may expect to see rather remarkable talent shown, in this recital, since only those who showed outstanding ability in the practices of last quarter make up the cast. The cast altogether includes fifteen, and the four leads are taken by Mary McDonald,, Pauline Larkin Edith Koski, and Wilma Neely. An attempt has been made to include in this presentation each of the various forms of the; dance, so the program is arranged in four groups: the first, the tap dance; the second, folk dances; third, solo interpretive; and fourth, a set of four group dances.

That ought to be a warning for our twenty-one little reds. Comrade duck! -W.S.N.S.- Some of the school kids in Palo Alto are getting a break. They get to get out of school to go to the movies. The string attached is that they have to report back to their rooms as to their educational efficacy of what they saw. Seems to me they ought to suppress such things as Mickey Mouse matinees on Saturdays, but we reckon we'll never catch up to Modern Trends in Education. W.SN.S. The graduating class of '35 have sighed away for the last time their personal liberty for several stiff backed hours every spring day. Our professors in turn begin to hunt privately for angle-worms of knowledge advertised in the catalogue, to dole out like robins, to the tax payers' children, us. Gaping with astonishment, the freshmen are easy marks, but by the set of certain people's jaws when they finished student teaching it ain't no picnic in all cases. -W.S.N.S.- Soon Wilson Waylett or one of his liberalists confreres will herald the war scare in Europe as the last struggle of dying capitalism, the death rattle of a decayed economic system. There are two rattles, Waylett. One is the present European kind; the other comes in pink celluloid. Which is yours? W.S.N.S. Guess we wont have any more rain until Easier morning. W.S.N.S. When I went stumbling (not reeling) into the science offices last Tuesday P. M. (to be brief.) I gleaned, in' a general way, the following: Arcturus is in ascendency (it's a star), the violet green'swallows are back, the polywogs in the acguariums have hatched, classes with glasses to eye are out looking at birds, others are searching green ponds for reptiles for acquariums, also (and this isn't the fashion column) in a scientific sense white shoes have again appeared. To the scientist this means spring but maybe you. never took science.

List of Assemblies A complete list of the assemblies as arranged to date are as follows: Next Tuesday we will have the Bushell-Strange trio; the Friday assembly will be given over to the Women's league and the Men's club meetings. On Tuesday, April 16, the chorus of the Women's Music club will sing, and Friday 19 is student elections The third week we will have Theodore (Graham, lecturer, on Tuesday and Ralph Hokanson, pianist, on Friday. A former student, Preston Wright, will read a play on April 30; and Friday will bring Miss Nan Dydahl Wiik, soprano. Tuesday, May 7, of Control, members among other things, the plans for Campus day, election procedure, a Women's league fund of $30, and the formal installation of officers. All the members of' the student body will be transported to Normalstad, Lake Whatcom, immediately following the assembly at eight o'clock A. M. Campus day. Mon Orloff, general chairman for the day's activities, reported after the Board of Control meeting last Wednesday that suggestions made by Board members led to adoption of the plan. Additional new features of Campus day may include an open air dance on the tennis court in the evening and a fifteen-cent lunch. Busses Will Be Hired Busses or trucks will be hired by the school to carry students to the lakeside property. A work program organized by George Dack, school gardener, will keep every student busy until noon, when a lunch will be served from the cabin, a scant fifty feet from the lake. After the luncheon the tired workers will be returned to the school to be entertained in a general assembly which is scheduled to begin at one o'clock. The rest of the afternoon will be given over to games and sports. Lunch Plans Tentative The Board of Control has not yet sanctioned the idea of the fifteen-cent luncheon, but will discuss the project further in its next meeting. According to the plan suggested in the meeting, the Activities fund would, provide ten cents for every fifteen-cent luncheon ticket purchased. All-school splash hour has been changed from Tuesday evening to Thursday evening at the same hour in accordance with the wishes of many students as expressed in the meeting of. the Board of Control.

The nominating convention will meet April 10, petitions being posted that day. The election will take place eight days later. While rumors are many, only one person has been definitely established as a candidate. He is Cliff Johnson, a blonde person from South Bend, Wash., who favors the present expansion of student recreational activities. Various politicians, when questioned, seem very reserved on the subject of the coming election but admit that the factions will probably be divided much the same as they were in the presidential campaign. The retiring members of the Board are Louis Shaffer and Maxine Id-dins. o Stoddard Is Installed As Neophyte Editor Hollis J.

The significance of this rating is "excellent". Papers entered in Hie contest were submitted last fall quarter, at which time Julius Dorn-blut Jr. edited the Viking. The grading chart with further information concerning the decision is expected next week. The Viking was also awarded* first class honor rating in 1930 when Ray Craft was editor, and again in 1931, under Roger Chapman. The Columbia Scholastic Press association, conducting the contest, is a nationwide school newspaper critical service.

Dr. Miller spoke on "Psychological Aspects of Curricular R e o r g a n i z a t i o n for Teacher Training.' In.the research section Dr. Upshall presented "Responsibility of Research Workers in Teachers' Colleges." Miss Rich attended the conference of pre-school and primary education. Mr. Bever went to the conference Tuesday to attend meetings of the Northwest Association of Higher Schools.

Spring Is Here Board of Control Has Life Whatever your reaction was to the school election last quarter, you will have to concede the point that the present administration has been far reaching in its activities. The topic of more than usual importance to us is the work begun on Nornralstad. Work progressed quite rapidly last fall, with the property being cleared and improved by student employees. But even with these improvements the site was of little student value. It was so hard to reach the property without cars that only a small majority of students visited the place. Even when they did arrive at Normalstad they had little more than two alternatives for amusement. They might either swim in the spring and summer, or have an indoor party during the fall and winter months. Transportaton, the weak spot in the set-up for many years, was given the biggest boost four months ago when the idea of securing a truck or bus was suggested. The new board of control has been considering this idea seriously for the past month, and should be prepared before long to report on the results. / However, the board decided that even with this problem settled, the place would be made more attractive if a few more activities were available. Boating offered the best possibility, and a committee is now* planning for this recreation. It will be worthwhile if the administration continues working toward the possibilities of increasing the values of Normalstad. T* **• *r *Tr . Another important matter that is being discussed by the board is the by-laws to the constitution. These were made inadequate when the new constitution was adopted last year, but no action was taken to have them revised until this winter. Student elections have been subject to criticism for the past few years, but the new by-laws have the possibility of guaranteeing proper procedures. Still another valuable asset for the student association will be the symposium group. This will of course depend entirely upon whether students show enough interest to justify the idea. Not since 1931 has an opportunity been offered those interested in public speaking. The formation of a debate team has been rapidly losing favor in colleges, while the symposium group is gaining ground. This type of speaking came into much favor last quarter when a group of University of Washington students spoke in assembly. The Board thought so highly of the group that plans were formulated immediately to sponsor such an activity. •*• v •»• *fr The plan for regulation of requisitions appears to be the wisest plan-to conserve funds and keep departments within their budgets that has been suggested for some time Problems will perhaps come up which will take shrewd judgment on the part of Board members. .If these can be solved satisfactorily the school has something of much value as all departments may be regulated so strictly that no deficits should be found at the end of any quarter. v * * * Since the above items are only a few of the things accomplished or started by the present Board of Control we realize that they have taken their positions and responsibilities seriously. They have been working mainly toward the furthering of intra-school spirit and activities. They deservtf the support of the school in the activities which they are backing. By Elmer Lade "For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land." * * * The state of a young man's emotions during the tremulous months of spring has long occasioned much speculation among the poets. Some would have him writing sonnets to his lady while others, headed by the boisterous Kipling, would have him fretting with homesickness for foreign ports. The desire to travel is probably a natural result of sonnet writing. It is well known that under certain circumstances young men are apt to utter statements so far removed from their true convictions that extended journeys appear not only pleasurable, but necessary. * * * Somewhere below the equator lies Tahiti, beauty spot of the Pacific. There, so the travel book tells me, the climate is perfect, the natives handsome, and food so low in price that visiting white men can 'decay comfortably at a cost not exceeding one dollar a week. Think it over! * * * It is practically an unwritten law that all white men decay in the tropics. In fact, so many novels have been written on the subject that no conscientious American or Englishman would think of returning to his native land in good health and of sound mind. * * * I know a college instructor who was for many years distressed by the futility of trying to fire the souls of his pupils with a love of knowledge: Finally he decided to regard himself as being first of all a professional entertainer and, having thus justified his position, became content. Now this is a rattling good idea, and well worth developing. Most any classroom would be immeasure-ably brightened if the instructor were to interrupt the regular routine long enough to spring the latest radio gag, play the guitar and yodel, er even do a trapeze act. Well, spring has sprung! Oh yes it has, all stinging winds and ice-covered puddles to the contrary. And we are springing, too. Right out of bed to eight o'clock classes. Right home to burn the midnight oil over unsolvable problems and unreadable books. But thoughts of the vacation behind us and that one in the dim future console and sustain. Suits Are Popular New Nips in Spring Togs Favorite Notes Women are saluting a "suit sprang" and are watching with wide-eyed interest the array of' new nips and tucks which characterize the current outfits. First of these new notes is the nipped-in belted waist and well-fitted seamless shoulders with wide puckered collars, which stand high. Another characteristic worth noting is the multitude of col-lors in these spring suits. Plain dark or . bright jackets with skirts in tones of blue and gold, brown and tan, green and rust, rose and beige, or black and white plaids are popular. Tweeds, severely tailored and smartly finished, worn with bright blouses are increasingly popular. Seen In a Day Francis The First By Dorothy Goff Along with the coming of spring, robins, and new clothes, comes the third day of the quarter and the pitiful struggles of the faculty to decipher and pronounce the names of students in their classes. Gius is taken for "Juice" to mentin one of the worst, Goff becomes "Guff," and Donalda Grant is called Mr. When Dr. TJpshall pronounced Roberta Thygeson's name correctly the first time she practically fainted. / With so many new white shoes flitting up and down the corridors the men will have to be more careful where they step.

A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Many Prospects Respond To Spring Football Call Twenty-Five Players Report To Coach Lappenbusch For Football; Fundamentals Drilled Several New Men Answer Call For Spring Football; Show Possibilities Develops Passing Attack Six Lettermen Will Not Return For Football Season Twenty-five men reported for -, spring football when Coach Charles P. Lappenbusch issued a call for gridiron prospects, April 1. The practice will continue for another week. Teaching the new men how to block and especially developing a passing attack has taken most of Lappenbusch's time. He's also developing a punter to take the place of Captain Art Bagley, who will graduate in June. Tony Zambas, part time punter of last year's squad, will not be out because of track turnouts. Several Lettermen Missing Lettermen who will not be back are Odell, Davidson, Wheeler, Cof-field, Bagley, and Tomco. Several new men are out to fill their places, with more expected next fall. Several prospects are working this quarter but will report for the fall turnout. "There will be no scrimmaging until late next week as several men have old injuries which stiff scrimmages might hurt again," Lappenbusch ordered. Tarte, fullback, has a weak shoulder and is working out carefully. Walt Miller, halfback, is out with illness. Several new men are turning out and are showing up well, according to Lappenbusch. Jim Frender, who earned his freshman numerals at the University of Washington last season, is out for end. Elmo Tool-ley, also a freshman letterman, is out for center. A fullback possibility is Jim Davis who has played three years for Albany college. Willard McKenzie entered this quarter and reported for line duty. A Lynden man, Dick Kauffman, is expected out. Bud Vandergriend, basketball player, is trying for a guard position. A tentative line-up of the first string players includes Toolley at center; Johnson, TJllin, and Vandergriend at guard; Miller and Bill Frender, tackles; and Alpaugh, Jim Frender and Kvinsland, ends. Back-field players are McKenzie and Gagnon at quarterback; Guglomo, Franklin, and Boggess at halfback; and Tarte at fullback. Assembly Schedule For Spring Quarter Is Given (Continued from Page One) Campus day and that Friday night will be given to a piano recital, students of Edith R. Strange. Hoppe Reads Play Tuesday, May 14, Professor Vernon McKenzie, journalist, will address the students. Friday, Victor H. Hoppe will read the play, "Valley Forge" Gemma Paglieri, soprano, will sing in assembly Tuesday, May 21, and that Friday will again be Women's league and Men's club meetings. Quarter Closes Memorial Day assembly will be held May 28; Friday is open. Then we have the Ladies' Trio from Vancouver, B. C, on June 4, with that Friday also^open. The quarter will close with graduation functions the last week. District Tryouts Held at Baker Aspirants To Olympic Games In Several Slalom Races Last Week-end Claimed by many to be the best ski grounds in the Northwest, Heather Meadows in the Mt. Baker Forest Reserve, was the scene on March 30 and 31, of the first of the Olympic try-outs. Events of the two-day tourney included slalom races, exhibition jumps, the welcome extended to the King county visitors by Belling-hams ski queen, Miss Helen Turner, and the coronation of Miss Jeanette Sykes, Seattle's fair ruler of winter sports. Numerous students from Normal attended the meet, several in the capacity of employes of the lodge. Further try-outs will be held at o Softball Tournament Needs More Teams Plans for an intramural baseball tournament are now being formulated with two teams already entered. A meeting held this week failed to bring forth many prospective managers with teams. Sam Carver, intramural sports director, is anxious to get the tournament started and for several other teams to enter. To be a real competitive affair at least four or five teams should take part. Last year five teams participated in this softball tourney with the Bartons hall nine carrying off the honors. Frequent postponements because of rain dampened the interest. With the good weather now at hand a fast? tournament should result. Any person who desires to form a team should do so immediately and report to a manager's meeting to be held Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock in the PE office. A schedule will be drawn up as soon as a sufficient number of teams are entered. Three Lettermen Form Base For Cinder Material Holder, Zambas, Johnson Form Nucleas of Track Squad; Kenoyer Out With the first cinder contest but a month off, Coach Carver is facing the task of building a combination that can at least give the Loggers of CPS a reminder of last year's medicine, when the Norsemen fought to a one point victory. Carver has Don Holder, former state high jump champion, who took second in the high hurdles and broad jump at the tri-normal. Don also clips the hundred in a trifle under ten flat. He will be the main stay in the tally department of the Viking squad. Zambas Back Tony Zambas will be on deck also when points are needed, as he runs the high hurdles in low time. He should improve his distance on the discus enough to give the Vikings a first in that event. For the tri-normal, however, Ellensburg has two dark horses who should give the Tri-Normal record a tumble. Arne Johnsen will be running the low barriers to give Walters of Cheney for his money after last year's drubbing at the Tri-Normal. Walters is only a sopnomore, but has run the lows in 24.6. New Material Promising I n the unknown department are Donald Kenoyer, last year's inter-scholastic half mile champion, who should give the state record a terrific scare. Bill Taylor will run the mile and should go places if he gets in shape. Willard McKenzie throws the javelin and should get points in the high jump. Fred Guglomo throws the discuss and is a sprinter. Dan Gagnon has nice coordination and should develop into a quarter miler, possibly a pole vaulter. Clyde Radder throws the javelin, and should develop into a good man in this event. Harvey Bilew runs the two miles and should make a strong contender. Tinval Brinkman is back in school doing eaching and may take to the track to regain previous fame won on the Viking path. The balance of the new men are unknown as yet and it is hoped that some will develop into point winners. With the WAA By Joan Hoppe California, here we come!

Just as the golden sun came peeping over Sehome and each little morning-glory (and a pansy or two) raised its sleepy little head, heavy with glistening dewdrops, toward the east—exhale—these three, armed with bathing suits and tennis rackets boarded the train for the land of sunshine and cocoanuts.

Many promising candidates who were expected back have failed to return. A survey of the golf prospects shows Bob Lindsley as the only veteran in school. However Paul Vike, number four man on last year's squad, is expected to enroll, and Coach Sam Carver sees Vike, Lindsley, and Pat Jacobsen as the men to fight it out for the number one position. The other men expected out are Jerry Jacobsen, Randy Oberlate, and George Nolte, who alternated on the team two years ago. Despite the lack of experienced men on the squad Sam Carver is hopeful of working up a fairly strong team. Tennis Outlook Dark The tennis outlook is even darker, according to Coach Carver. Roger Mullen and Jack Joly are the only veterans b.ack. Bill Hussey, another letterman, was expected, but failed to return. Other prospects are Ladd Shangle, Mon Orloff, and Ralph Shenen-berger. Shangle's work has been impressive and he is expected to bolster the team's chances considerably. Carver also hopes for a good showing from Orloff. Golf and tennis matches are being arranged with the U of W frosh, CPS, and Pacific Lutheran college aggregations. Racketeers Signing Ladder for Tennis Coach Sam Carver has issued the call for tennis enthusiasts to sign the Intramural tennis bulletin. When all who are interested have signed, a tennis ladder will be drawn and matches will follow. After all the games have been played the men who rest in the first five rungs of the ladder will champion the Normal in all inter-school meets. The ten men who have already signed the list are: Roger Mullen, Jack Joly, Oscar Starlund, Don Richardson, Mon Orloff, Gordon Richardson, Stuart Fresk, Chuck Wilson, Fred Rosenwjater, and Ladd Shangle. Coach Carver expects this list to increase greatly within the next few days. The nets have all been repaired and the courts are in excellent condition for tennis. Matches will be played as long as the weather remains clear. The men who finish up in the first five places will have the honor of playing on the varsity tennis team. o Chaliapin To Appear In Musical Program Chaliapin the Great, basso, will appear in a program April 8 at 8:30 p. m. in Seattle. The concert will be held in the Civic auditorium. Chaliapin was born in Karzan, Russia. Singing has been his passion since childhood. He was engaged by the Russian Imperial Opera at the age of 20 He is often spoken of as "a one-man theater— he is everything". Miss Mildred Tremain attended the Ski tournament at Mount Baker Sunday.

All players who consider themselves fairly expert are asked to sign up for the A games, leaving the B group for those who have played only since the installation of the tables at Edens hall. Each division will be separated into men's singles, women's singles, and mixed doubles. The signing is expected to be completed .this, week with playing beginning Monday. The challenge issued at the beginning of the program by Edward Arntzen, social science instructor, to the winner of the chess tournament, will probably be accepted by Carroll and a play held next week.

Enrollment Is Good Church List, Student Directory Being Prepared "Registration records for the spring quarter show a good attendance,' reports Miss Norma Bouck, secretary to Dean James E Bever.

MORE• T»H O*U G* HTS! —By Elmer Lade And so it came to pass that no work was done, no one was injured, miraculously no one was drowned, and every one deemed Campus day a pretty sound idea. Whoever has to clean up Normalstad (lands, what a name and what a connotation!) will probably cry around a little, but that is neither here nor there. With such a preponderance of good will toward the holiday, ticket hawkers will undoubtedly infest the campus again next year. W.S.N.S. Suicidal manias have been known to sweep Japan, causing young men and women to leap into flaming craters in such numbers that guards were posted at all volcanoes. A similar craze seemed to grip students out at Normalstad (what a name!) where everybody wanted to overturn a canoe. Apparently the only thing that prevented a hundred per cent baptism of the student body was the shortage of canoes. Certainly conditions were favorable; the crafts were narrow-beamed, the water choppy, and not a policeman within miles. It was a big day, a day in which anyone could drown if he wanted to. W.S.N.S. Nor was the assembly too bad. Aylmer Bright, equipped with a sheet and a sickle to reprecent Father Time, but looking for all the world like Ruth about to glean the fields of Boaz, and a well-timed revival of the old Diogenes joke were enough to lift the show over any slow spots. W.S.N.S. r- The hearty applause that followed the orchestra and vocal numbers reminded me that while American folk songs (jazz to you) may be bad and banal, they do possess the virtue of brevity. Lengthy classics, in which we first hear the soft luting of farm fowls, followed by a G minor account of a maiden's emotions at early mass, and so on through the gamut of sounds and sensations are often a trifle on the tedious side. (In saying that I expect the support of all fellow lowbrows.) It is just barely possible that the masters were not altogether free from banality. W.S.N.S. Attention! On the feature page, set 18 ems so that none will possibly overlook it, is a letter-to-the-editor, expressing subtly, and in exciting language the opinions a few young scholars hold regarding the Northwest Viking and its staff. By all means read it and enjoy as we . did its boisterous, blood-thirsty humor. It goes to show what a college education can do for ambitious youngstes. W.S.N.S. (Excerpt from Hearst Editorial). No problem before the country is more important than that presented by the young man and woman who have left high school or college and are trying to find their way into business, industry, or their professions. Many young people have experienced disillusionment feeling of frustration. I n this unhappy state of mind they give ear to subversive teachings and to unpatriotic counsel piling up an enormous debt for these young people to shoulder. I t is time that the leaders of the nation and community gave a thought to the future and to the prospects of the boys and girls who, in a few years, will have charge of the government. o Skating Postponed Party Date Announced Next Friday "Because of the sophomore class rec hour this week, the W club skating party has been postponed until next Friday, May 17, at 8:00 at the State Street auditorium", announces d i e t TJUin, manager.

Marie DeGallier, general chairman of the Edens hall mixed recreation program, stated in a meeting of the Board of Control, Wednesday, May 8, that the attendance at the evening sessiones has dropped off noticeably since winter quarter. After serious consideration the board decided that at the end of May the program should be suspended indefinitely. The ping pong equipment will be left in Edens hall Dining room for the use of those who wish to play. The playing cards and chess equipment will be removed until a time when the mixed recreational program will again be put into effect. Editor To Be Chosen At the request of Gordon Milli-kan, president of the Associated Students, recommendations were made by the board members for the editorship of the Blue book, the official student handbook of information. The editor will be definitely decided upon at the next meeting of the board. By general acclaim the board moved to send a vote of thanks to Mon Orloff for his work as general chairman of Campus day. A unanimous agreement was made that this year's Campus day was one of the most enjoyable in the history of the school. It was reported that Cliff Johnson, newly elected representative on the board, was not available for general chairmanship of the all-school picnic. After considering a number of eligible persons the board appointed Mabel Rolle in Johnson's place. The all-school picnic is scheduled for Friday, May 24, at Rainbow beach on Lake Samish. Strange Will Present Normal Musicians in Recital Here May 17 A spring recital given by students of Miss Edith R. Strange will be one of the outstanding musical programs scheduled for this quarter. They will appear in concert next Friday, May 17. The program consists of solos and ensemble work which are representative of romantic and modern composers such as Schubert, Cyril Scott, Arensky, Trygve Torgussen, Boell-mann, Gounod, and D'Albert. The eight students who will appear on the program are all students of the Normal, namely: Helen Griffith, Christine Albers, Mary Rees Benson, Sue McMillan, Margaret Foster, Ruth Kirk, Edna Pearson, and Florence Ford. o——-— Art Department Shows Hand-Blocked Textiles An exhibit of hand-blocked textiles is being shown this week in the room by the art department. Most of the pieces shown are suitable for hangings and a few for dress material. The designs are cut on linoleum and stamped onto the various kinds of cloth with printer's ink. Of the fifty prints shown, three were made by Miss Dorothy Mcll-vain, art instructor, several by students of schools in which she formerly taught, and the remainder by students of the school. Is Huey Long Full of'Hooey' 'Yea and Nay' Say Local Political Prognosticators in Surveying Acts of Vociferous Senator from Louisiana From time to time this space will be used as a sort of airing ground for student opinions. This week various students were asked to discuss briefly that celebrated gentleman from Louisana, Huey Long. ROSE WORKS: I think he is a joke. He is an opportunist and I am surprised that anyone takes him seriously. OSCAR SVARLIEN: In my opinion, in the opinion of a not insignificant portion of the American population, Huey's Share-the-wealth program is not so closely associated with "hooey" as his name would suggest. MON ORLOFF: What have I got against Huey Long? I think he is plenty smart, and no one can deny that he is getting along in the world, which, after all, is what the most of us are trying to do. HARRY GOHEEN: I think he is of little consequence to any thoughtful American. His program is impossible and the man himself can have no real significance to anyone who views contemporary events logically. JULIUS DORNBLUT JR.: While I am not in favor of many things Huey Long has done, I do think he is far more intelligent than a great many New Dealers. EEMAR LARSON: . That Huey Long has ability is undeniable. Considering the machine he has built in Louisiana, he can't be laughed off. Hitler was the butt of many jokes in Germany—but it is different there today. BILL PIERRON: If I ever think that Huey Long will become president I shall depart for Mexico immediately. Art Department Displays Photos Portraits, Campus Scenes, and Industrial Studies Featured By Ruckmick By Hazel Jean Plympton .Camera enthusiasts, art students, nature lovers and their friends have been improving their "ways-of-see-ing" by continued visits to Herbert Ruckmick's exhibit of photographs on display in the Art department during the last week. A wide variety of subjects makes up this exhibit. Portraits, flower studies, landscapes, and industrial studies represent such widely separated localities as New York, Washington, D. C, and California, A generous number comes from Bellingham and our own campus. It is not the subject matter, however, which impresses the visitor, but rather the fascinating variety of light effects; the beautifully related tones of "The Washington Monument" and "The Pulp Mill"; the jeweled lighting in "George Washington Bridge"; the etching quality of "Riverside Church"; the brilliance of "The Mimulus" against its dark background; the contrast in texture in "The Dogwoods"; the halo of light in "Mother"; and the care in design in "The Group on the Porch of Edens Hall", and "The Bellingham Hotel'. Such an exhibit gives us all an inspiration to perfect our hobbies. If we can pursue them with the same zest for fun and skill as Mr. Ruckmick has done, we may hope for some measure of success. o Weythman Returns From PE Meeting Miss Ruth Weythman returned Sunday evening from the national convention of the Physical Education association at Pittsburg. The convention was to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the association, first organized by Dr. Gilbert Anderson, who was present at all of the meetings. Miss Weythman stated that she was particularly interested in the reports of national committees. One of the most interesting addresses was given by Dr. E. McCullen of Johns Hopkins university, on "Food Nutrition and Health". The 1936 convention will be held in St. Louis; 1937 in New York; and 1938 in San Francisco. Conference Will .

Inasmuch as the day was an innovation of commendable campus activities, Mon Orloff and his subcommittee chairmen should all be praised for their fine work. The first surprise of the day was the excellent turn-out for the morning assembly. But the enthusiasm did not drop here, for it was estimated that at least 425 students availed themselves of the opportunity to visit Normalstad. Yes, Phil Campbell had the transportation end of the date completely organized. The idea of going to Normalstad for the morning was so well carried out that it is highly probable that it will become a Campus day tradition. Anything that can acquaint such a large majority of students with that splendid college playground deserves support. Then Phyllis Greely received our sincere thanks for the noonday lunch, which was as filling as it was appetizing. Pat Allan and Stuart Fresk next deserved "three cheers" for arranging one of the most enjoyable student talent assembly programs of the year. It was a hit in more ways than one! The dance, with Oscar Starlund in charge, closed an extremely well-balanced day of fun and exercise. And to everyone else that helped keep the ball rolling, we say, "Thanks a lot for the day of pleasure". * * * * The only thing we missed last Tuesday was the chance of seeing the ability to take punishment which formerly has been displayed by the men from Barton's and Daniels' hall in their annual water fight. o In Days of Yore For the sake of an argument let's bring up the subject of Campus day, past and present. It seems that back in the good ol' days, Campus day meant that the students and faculty donned their overalls and straw hats, armed themselves with hoes, rakes, and shovels and went to it. Dandelions were eradicated, the lawn cut, and the running-track improved and the trails on the hill were cleared. In the afternoon there used to be a baseball game, faculty versus students, the women taking part as well as the men. Rumor has it that President C. H. Fisher was an able pitcher. At our recent Campus day, the main excitement took place in the canoes, or rather, out of the canoes and into the water. Eight students appeared as mermaids when canoes accidently overturned. In previous years, the day has been ended with a carnival at the Armory or a show at the American Let's Learn to Yodel For atmosphere—sun gleaming on pure white snow, icy winds blowing from the mountain glaciers, and all about the rare but pungent ozone of the Cascades (brrrr, are you cold?). For leader—none other than the grand old trail-blazer of Normal hikes, Dr. E. A. Bond. For companions—all those plucky souls who dare to face the elements in the climb up the hill. You've guessed it—tomorrow morning they start the long trek to Skyline ridge. with a filling lunch—they say raisins are good—in your battered old knapsack, a song in your heart, tra la, and away you'll go. Seven-thirty may seem awfully early for Saturday morning, so if your room mate fails you there's always the alarm clock. It is but a scant five miles from the hamlet of Glacier to the destination of all the hardy mountaineers who venture forth. Stragglers are guaranteed a push if they can't take theater or a dance. The dance this **• Reorientation A Review by Wilson Waylett 'Termanence and Change," by Kenneth Burke 1935. New York New Republic, Inc. 256pp. $1.00. In this small volume Burke has given, I believe, a contribution more worthy of permanence than any other philosophic work produced of late. • The book is divided into three sections, of which the first appeared in "The Plowshare" some time ago. In this portion, "On Interpretation," bur author attempts to get at the meanings behind meanings, the nature of an orientation, the basis of an interpretation. He draws from the works of, persons of as varied natures as Marx, Veblen, and I. A. Richards and makes the broadest possible application of Pavlov's experiments on the conditioned reflex. In rounding off this section, he considers the problem of social orientation and lists magic, religion, and science as being the three great rationalizations of history, each of which arose with and gave rise to a certain social organization. Certainly the language which Kenneth Burke utilizes to unfold this conception is worthy of note. Pellucid, mooth flowing, it gives one a deceptive opinion concerning the depth of the subject matter, until one finds oneself floundering. Like the poet, Burke uses subtle overtones; his simple definitions have tremendous implications. Burke feels that much or the instabiity of the modern word is due to the inadequacy of old rationalizations to deal with the contemporary situation and the confusion arising from conflicting orientations. This idea, which he elaborates in the second major portion of the work, "Perspective by Incongruity," accounts for the incongruous and impious (for him, impiety is that which breaks with tradition) attempts of such individuals as Nietzsche and D. H. Lawrence to establish new perspectives, new systems of values. But he sees the "Basis of Simplification," to which he devotes the last part of the book, to be rather a sort of synaesthesia of materialism, idealism, and dialectical materialism. This he terms "dialectical bio-logism," or "metabiology." Communism, he feels, embodies something of this viewpoint and offers the only solution to our difficulties. For "Communism is a cooperative rationalization or perspective which fulfills the requirements suggested by the poetic metaphor. It is fundamentally humanistic, as poetry is." By way of closing, he humbly admits the limits of his little survey: "We, in cities, rightly grow shrewd at appraising man-made institutions—but beyond these tiny concentration points of rhetoric and traffic, there lies the eternally unsolvable Enigma, the preposterous fact that both existence and nothingness are equally unthinkable." year proved very enjoyable. But what happened to the water fight betwen Bartons and Daniels? o Campus Keyhole Maybe GORDY RICHARDSON went stepping with the two fair damsels the eve after he was caught mooning with RUBY VICTOR on Sehome, to cover his embarass-ment. Were his ears red? There have been rumors of the formation of an excedingly exclusive club on the campus, and the name whispered about is "Tippy Canoe". Spooks are abroad again in the land— TIIELMA COWEN and ANNA PADDEN—and friends—were seen sneaking out of the graveyard on Campus day—cameras in hand. Well you guess awhile. Speaking of canoes we were surprised not to see CHET ULLIN rolling one over. BOB LINDSLEY is still scratching his head over the dance tickets a whole bevy . of campus beauties handed him Tuesday night. CAROL ALLEN — conscientious Carol — helped out by washing her fork in the lake after lunch. Now if everybody had followed her shining example . Keep your eyes on the HAZEL JACROSON and ART BAG-LEY duo—she's got a fetchin' grin. The latest indoor sport indulged in by any number of co-eds is comparing PAT ALLAN'S love letters and finding them disgustingly similar. Well I suppose there won't be any news at all after the big day—it all has happened. C'est fini.

The Vikings stand an equal chance of bringing home six blue ribbons out of a possible fifteen firsts from t h e pups. Frosh Have Stars Coach Hec Edmundson has on his yearling squad this year two of the most promising young athletes in the country, Bill Vanderway and Art Morgan. Vandermay from Lynden high school set a state high jump record, 6 feet 5 inches. Morgan, a Roosevelt high school product from Seattle, has run the high hurdles in 15.4, the lows in 24.5, and the hundred yard dash close to 10 flat. Experts rate him a successor to Steve Anderson. His team mate, Marshall Stuffield, is almost his equal and should be good for seconds in both hurdles. Taylor and Kenoyer Favored Bill Taylor will give his competitor trouble in the. mile and should win if comparative times mean anything. Tony Zambas and Coke Guglomo should both tally in the discus if they duplicate their practice throws. In the 880 Kenoyer is due to show some of last year's form and break through with a win, having turned in better ttime than his Husky opponent, Stigar. I n the century, Arne Johnsen will have to run almost 10 flat time to beat Art Morgan who is a heavy favorite to trim him in the low hurdles. Holder Has Plenty Competition Don Holder will have his hands full against Vandermay in the high jump, Morgan and Stuffield in the hurdles, but should give Anderson a ragged run for a first in the board jump. Brinky is in for a tough afternoon in the two mile, but if he runs the eights laps like he did against CPS, he will be hard to beat. Vikings Have Weaknesses The Vikings are exceptionally weak in the pole vault- and shot, and can hardly expect to place in these events. Willard. McKenzie should collect in the javelin. Ellis Austin, who came through with a third in the 440 at Tacoma Saturday, should place again. Guglomo and Hudson both have a good chance of placing in the 220 if they run. The strength of the Husky relay team is unknown except that they were beaten by CPS, as was the Viking quartet.

Normal scored ten of its runs in the first two innings, driving pitchers Frank and Greenwalt from the Redskins' mound. Severins, Alpaugh, Miller, and Stutz lead the Viking batters, while Fowler, Anderson, and Senuty were leading hitters for Whatcom. The Campus day game was a ragged affair with both teams contributing many errors. Tooley and Dombros-ki were the chuckers for Normal, with McKenzie and Hammond catching. The fielding department of the Normal squad was very good but the hitting was a little weak. Earl Jewell, physical education instructor at Whatcom, umpired the entire game. Looking It Oyer By George Lovos CPS certainly made last week-end a disastrous one for the Viking sports world. A clean sweep of a four game baseball series, a track victory by a 35 point margin, and a win for their golf team should be a tasty enough morsel for any school to wish to guzzle at one time. * * * * However, there were some bright spots in the showing of the track team at Tacoma last Saturday, when they came out 18 points ahead of Ellensburg to take second place. Holder looked like a sure point-getter, taking a first in both the high hurdles and broad jump, and a tie for second in the high jump. Taylor turned in a fast mile to take first there, while Johnson in the low hurdles and Brinkman in the two mile added 10 more points. * * * * With these men continuing to improve, and several others like Kenoyer, Sargent, McKenzie, Zambas, Austin, and Hudson always good for some points, the squad stands a very good chance of taking the tri-Normal meet at Ellensburg. Kenoyer should take a .first in the 880 there, and if Austin can keep from getting boxed in again he may threaten in the 440. * * * * The uncertainty as to positions on the tennis five, even this late in the season, is giving Coach Sam Carver a good hustling squad this year. With Orloff, Joly, Starlund, and Mullen continually scrapping for runner up positions to Snaggle's coveted number one post good heads up tennis results. Wickstrom in number 6 is still right on their heels, threatening, too. However, the boys were rather silent about their mix with the U. W.

Oscar Starlund was the only local man to win his match, beating Sahen 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. The unf amiiarity of the local team with playing on asphalt courts hampered their style somewhat. This type of court is much slower than cement and therefore players have to change their tactics accordingly. In the opener, Ladd Shangle lost in straight sets to Crapo, 0-6, 4-6. Johnstone defeated Mon Orloff 6-2, 6-2, while Joly was hacked by Murphy 1-6, 1-6. Wickstrom, substituting for Mullen, forced Gray to three sets before losing. In the doubles play both the Starlund-Shangle, Joly-Orloff combinations lost their matches.

The archery class has finally found a suitable place for it targets. They have been placed at the end of the track where observers and passers by are safe from flying arrows.

Her companion delegate, Connie In-gerson, the present executive, added that these sectional meetings compensate for the national conventions at which smaller colleges cannot be represented. "Revitalizing Women's Organizations" was the theme followed by the delegates, who represented schools in Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Idaho. In discussing college problems, it was discovered that the Washington State Normal school at Bellingham had fewer difficulties to meet than any other school, represented. Talks were given on various phases of educational problems, a report was given on the national convention held recently at Bloomington, Indiana, and the delegates were entertained at dinners, military reviews, and athletic events. The convention ended with a. grand ball Saturday evening.

The presentation will be made at the First Christian church this evening at 8:15 o'clock, under the aus- - pices of the Bellingham State Normal and the Women's Music club. Sing in Production In the spring of 1930 "Green Pastures", by Marc Connelly with music by the Hall Johnson choir was produced in New-York and became one of the greatest theatrical successes in years. This success was deemed by many in a large degree due to the singing produced by the chorus. The Pulitzer prize was unanimously awarded the production by the judges who stated they "had no second choice". Termed "The Real Thing" In New York this small choir received an immediate and sensational success and critics hailed them as giving for the first time in a generation the true negro music. In Boston, Mr. H. T. Parker in the Transcript, described them as "The Real Thing". He also stated "Quick and hearty to piece" after piece is the white folks' response." "Inimitable" among similar groups "of negro singers . . . . At the Stadium for three successive summers immense gatherings have greeted its appearances" is what Edward Cush-ing of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle writes. The Evening Journal of Rochester, N. Y., says "Here was singing of real power, and it was done as we have always imagined the negroes sang at their own camp meetings." Has Sixteen Members The choir is composed of genuine down-south negroes and is led by a conductor born and brought up in the center of Georgia. There his grandmother, a former slave, taught him to sing the melodies of her childhood, which he in turn has taught his chorus and are by them presented in concert."

But it is Just this change that ' nyrices l i ^ Hvinf./ The m o i u ^ y of attending the s $$: ' A baritone, Ernest Caldwell, from Vancouver, B. C, will be heard in assembly Tuesday, December 6. Mr. Caldwell has a vocal studio in Vancouver and, is a favorite of musical audiences of his own city; as indeed he is throughout the whole Northwest. He has had several previous engagements at the Normal school, repeatedly giving very successful performances. His program for the December 6 assembly will include the ever popular negro spirituals "Gwine to Hebb'n" by Jacques Wolfe* and "Why So Wan," by Frederich Scott, also several selections by Goosens, Rimsky-Korsakov and Gretchaain-off, being "When Thou Art Dead," "Once Long Ago a King Lived" and "The Wounded Birch," respectively. The baritone's heavier numbers will include "Der .Wanderer," by Shu-bert; "O Lubliche Wanger," by Brahms, and "Vision Fugitive," from the opera "Heriade," by Massenet. o ADVISERS DISCUSS CLUBS AT DINNER A dinner was held in the dining room of Edens Hall on Monday evening, Nov. 28, for the 16 club advisers of the school. The big problem for the evening's discussion was how to help club members to help themselves. Problems and questions brought up by the Inter-club council and the Board of Control were discussed. The following faculty members are club advisers of the school: Emma Erickson, Vanadis Bragi; Clare Stroud, Tri-C club; Nora Cummins, International Relations; Edward J. Arntzen, Economics; Pelagius Williams, Social Science club; Victor H. Hoppe, Lillian George, and Charlotte Richardson, Drama; Mildred Jewell, Thelma Short, and Margery Horton, Women's Athletic association; Sam E. Carver, "W" club; MilT dred Moffatt and Thelma Short, Al-kisiah; H. E. Fowler, Thespian; Ruth Piatt and Mildred Johnson, Women's League; W. J. Marquis, Men's club; M. Belle Sperry and May Mead, Y. W. C. A.; Emma Erickson and E. A. Arntzen, Sholarship society; Beatrice Doty and Margery Horton, Valkyrie; May Lovegren, Blue Triangle; A. E. Bond, Board of Control. Everyone should, the very next time they pass* the Collins museum near the Viking office, stop to inspect its latest addition, a Filipino bolo knife. This knife has been lately presented by Mr. J. J. Donovan, who, in a letter to President C. H.4 Fisher, stated that he secured it three years ago at a point eighty miles inland from Manila. The bolo is about a foot long, with a straight, rather slender, menacing blade. It plainly has a "used" appearance and there is even one notch carved, in the handle! lis is Normal Broadcasts Twice Weekly ToPresentPlay "Storm Country" Tonight from 8 to 8:30 the local broadcasting station, K-V-O-S, will resound to weird wild shreiks and groans; whistling winds and jangling telephone bells/as a group of students put on the air that super mystery drama, "Storm Country." It is the story of a lonely farm woman, oppressed and* abused, and the" mysterious disappearance of her husband. Members of the cast are Georgia Loomis, Catherine Bow-in a plain, almost wornout leather d e n n d J o h n G a W e case which is attached to a leather T f a e ^ five m i n u t e s ^ f e a t u re the Northwest Viking of the air.

Incidentally, it was a Filipino bolo with which the "Filipino maniac" killer did all his dirty work in Seattle last week. o — Laugh Provoking Play Presented The. one-act play "Here Comes the Bride", was acted in this morning's assembly by members of Mr. Hoppe's literary interpretation class. "Here Comes the Bride" is broadest comedy of modern times, its setting the home of society's elite. The groom's missing collar button is the hinge on which a fast-moving plot swings and swirls, occasioning tears for the lovely bride, and near-prostration to the sensitive prospective husband. With mother and the best man both determined to see the thing through, what threatens to end in a mutual desertion of the altar by the love-birds closes with the time-honored strains or Menaeissonn. The parts of the bride and groom were ably handled by Edith Swarth and John Dempster. Vernon Lea-tha won his share of the laughs as the officious best man. Other members of the satisfactory cast were: the bride's aunt, Louise Schulz; the groom's mother, Elsie O'Donnell; Ted, a friend, .Clarence Locke; the bride's father, Leslie WolfeTy. Wahl's Millinery Shop lent the bridal" veil and wreath used in the presentation. . o Sweaters Earned By Football Men SCHOLASTIC TROPHY 1931FROSH ORIGIN A tradition inaugurated in 1931 nvas the Freshman Scholastic cup,. upon which is engraved the name of the frosh attaining the highest scholastic' record during the year.'

His subject was "Toys for Tiny Tots.'' Dr. Miller felt that, since Christmas was so near some discussion on the topic would not be amiss. o Bushell, Cellist, Plays on Tuesday Mr. Donald Bushell, assisted by Mr. E. Lyle McMullen, pianist, of Seattle, entertained in last Tuesday's assembly with a 'cello concert. Mr. Bushell, who is from Seattle, graduated from the University of Washington in 1931, and since that time has been doing graduate work in the music department of that institution. He is also a member of the national honorary musical fraternity. At the present time he is a substitute music teacher at Belr lingham Normal, taking the place of Mr. Harold B, Smith. Tuesday's program consisted of two sonatas, one by Eccles and the other by Cassada; Londonderry Air, arranged by Tertis, and Tarantelle, by Popper. . o— NORMALITES ATTEND ANNUAL CONFERENCE Merle Duncan, Montana' Superintendent; Osborn Elected The appointment bureau, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Hopper, has announced the folowing ---------- Northwest Viking - 1932 December 2 - Page 2 ---------- ie Northwest Viking Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Founded 1899 Published every Friday except during the month of September by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal School, Bellingham, '•- Entered in, the Postoffice at Bellingham, .Washington, as ' second class matter by virtue of the act of March 3, 1879.

H EAR AND SEE THE ALL JOHNSON CHOIR - "Cynicism is the cold, (ub _ And bath towel of the emotions And absolutely necessary To life in cases,of Advanced, sensibility." I t is one of the extreme misfortunes of our existence that one cannot be delicately sensitive or sympathetic without suffering the jibes and derision and mockery of one's more rugged, less impressionable fellow men. There are no natural cynics. It is a condition as artificial, and quite as effective, though in the opposite direction, as a "lifted" face. - The cynic, because he is so inclined to believe and to trust, has woven that atmosphere about himself to shield his innocence from further hurt. He has believed— and has been bilked by more practical-minded associates. Lacking a balanced understanding of human motives, handicapped by an over-gullible heart, he finds himself victimized on every hand. What can he'do but don an air of misbelief and weld an armor of cynicism to keep from being duped? A cold tub checks his .sympathetic urges. A cold tub dampens his emotional enthusiasm—and he is safe. Safe? Perhaps. But horribly cramped. Half dead already from the limitations, the sublimations, the constant stifling of the fires that would have allowed him to fulfill his destiny. Afraid to- live and take the consequences; afraid to live and take what comes. He plays the game safely and defensively—and loses the meaning of life. Outside the power of imagination, those with the greatest understanding are those with the greatest scars, for he who has suffered much is compassionate. Without shadows we hold no value for the sun, and so we say, "Only when we suffer do we live." • Cold is the cynic in his selfishness. He is afraid.

Undoubtedly this will be the finest musical attraction of the current year and one that students cannot well afford to miss. When in New York, this small choir was an outstanding success and various critics and newspapers deemed them as the first group of their type to give to the country true negro music. F O R T H E R W O N D E R F U L performance of "Green Pastures" in 1930, along with the rest of the cast, they were unanimously awarded the Pulitzer prize. Their singing contains a depth of feeling which has not been reached by various other groups who have attempted to reproduce the famous Southland tunes. D O N T MISS this only performance of the Hall Johnson Minstrels in Bellingham this season. NORMAL BUSINESS EEDED BY CONCERNS W I T H T H E Y U L E T I D E season approaching, Bellingham merchants' will be looking toward the Normal school for a considerable amount of its business. The down-town merchants have come to realize that the Bellingham Normal is indeed a definite and valuable asset to them and to the community. OBVIOUSLY, T H E M E R C H A N T S want our trade and we need them for our purchases. Therefore, in doing your shopping for Christmas, whether it be in large or small amounts, patronize those merchants who recognize the Normals worth and advertise in the columns of the NORTHWEST VlKING. E V E R Y M E R C H A N T W H O carries an ad in the VlKING' deals only in dependable stock and it should be your duty to select your purchases from "those who do appear in these columns. Dont forget, folks. There are only 19 shopping days left. Patronize VlKING advertisers. At The Theaters Preston A. Wright THE OPERA SEASON opened in New York, November 21. The inaugural piece was Verdi's "SIMONE BOCCANEGRA" with Lawrence Tib-bett singing the title role. A special Thanksgiving day matinee featured Lily Pons and Giovanni Martinelli in "LAKME." The Metropolitan Opera Company may be heard each Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock over the network of tthe National Broadcasting Company. "THE DARK HOURS", a passion play by Don Marquis, and staged by his wife, recently made its debut in New York. The play has been written for seven years, but after all these years it finally went into production. The play is composed of live scenes which are set in the vicinity of Gethsemahe. It was written with the idea that the Christus would not appear during the play, but would be present as a spirit. The producer, however, thinking that the idea was a bit too mid- Victorian, wrote in some speeches and has the character appear as a weakling. Critics felt that the play should be presented as written and leave the character unsullied to the pious imagination of the audience. EVA LE CALLIENNE and her Civic Repertory Company are playing Eleanor Hinckley's new play, "DEAR JANE." Playwrights seem to have a mania, at present, to write about famous people of literature. "ALISON'S HOUSE:' "THE BARRETTS OF WIMPOLE STREET," 'ELIZABETH THE QUEEN," and now the reincarnation of Jane Austen in "DEAR JANE". Imagine if you can, anything exciting about the pastoral life of poor drab, provincial, gentlewomanly Jane Austen. True it is, perhaps novel to some who are in the declining past generation, to again witness a simple gentlewoman being pursued by a love-sick fat-head. But ask the present generation with its new thought and moral code—the answer is, "WHO GIVES A D-N!" THE BARRYMORES—John, Ethel, Lionel, John Drew Colt, and Ethel Barrymore Colt, will soon finish their first talking picture together—" RASPUTIN" ' ter a prolonged lover's tiff.— I I A very funny thing this: PEN- j I NY CARTER taking a bid to j J the i n s i d e informal while j ]/ GWEN EDER appears again | j with that lanky basketball star, | | JIM'RORK—TOMMY BAILEY i ' seen in the haHs with Jerry j I McCarthy's little sister PEGGY I I —this younger generation—Oh, f I m y ! — P A L M E R KNUTSON [ | rating a very cute child at I f the Shriners' ball —MICKEY j !

Wells a Delegate for Luther Club CAMPUS GL^^m By FLORENCE A new "colyum" in which We shall attempt to present for your approval quite the choicest bits from the contemporary mode. 'Ami that an elegant introduction? Even if you're down to brass tacks financially, don't let it take all the fun outa life. Plaids give the Scotch flavor to the latest duds. Now, seriously, to be a little helpful in the- eternal feminine problem. This is a season of simple but oh, so subtle, frocks. They often have "collarbone" necklines, and that is an important item—the necklines, I mean. Which reminds me of sleeves —we certainly have .a revival of sleeves. We have gay ninety sleeves and Victorian sleeves, medieval sleeves and no sleeves—just as we have Garbo bobs and Crawford shoulders, Shearer sophistication, and Gaynor naivete. Sweaters have lots of new tricks this year—they fit in at the waist, like the proverbial bell-hop jacket, they button like vests, they close up high at the throa"; some of them fasten with clips by Schiaparelli, and many have scarf collars. Now here's a secret. You know the ever popular Brooks sweaters (made to button in front) may be turned around and buttoned down the back. And, you may be sure-this is from a good authority, if you should question. As for hats—tip them rakishly forward, over one eye. Even the jauntiest beret thus assumes the piquancy of the moment. But to go back to school. We think of sweaters. They used to be just sweaters. Now they are Jersey blouses and crocheted vests. They look hand knit, or maybe they are, if you have been plying the now fashionable needles. We may be gamines on the campus, but "pour le soir" the ladies win. Evening colors are "whatever HE likes"; and "Sunday night supper" or the new "don't dress" frocks, the color of a zinnia bed or an autumn forest, hold highest honors for the casual evening. Series of Sermons Will be Presented A series of sermons on the subject of Home Building by the Rev. Earl Hanson Fife will be featured at the First Christian church for the.next few.weeks. These lectures are of special interest to young people and a special invitation is extended to Normal students. The church is located at the corner of A and Girard streets. Dot Allen left Wednesday morning for Waldron island, where she spent the Thanksgiving vacation with her parents. Catherine Hollis visited in Arlington over the holidays. Mildred Franz spent the Thanksgiving vacation in Carlisle. Myrna and Dick Hammett motored to Tacoma, where they visited over the holidays. Geraldine Duff visited in Long-view over Thanksgiving. : lo— GIRLS GO HOME And if you want to feel like a medieval princess, cross your fingers and hold your breath—perhaps some fond aunt will discover that velvet gloves are the very last gasp in evening attire. Marian Wells was elected corre sponding secretary for the coming year at the Pacific Northwest regional convention of the Lutheran Students Association of America which was held at Portland, November 25-27. There were representatives from eight universities and colleges in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Miss Wells was the delegate from the recently organized Luther club at the Normal school. o Famous Writer Recognized Here November 29 marks the hundredth birthday anniversary of Louisa May , Alcott. She was the first American writer of children's literature to win recognition in Europe. Early Life Louisa Alcott was born November 29, 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Amos Bron-son Alcott. Louisa lived in German-town until her father's school proved unsuccessful, and in 1840 the Al- .cotts moved to Concord, Mass. Mr. Alcott, with tne aid of others, established an Ideal Social colony on a farm in a town of Harvard, near Concord, which they called Fruitlands. This experiment was an utter failure. Mr. Alcott in 1845 purchased a small place known as Hillside on the road to Lexington, about a mile from the home of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Writes Poetry Very Young At the age of fifteen Louisa entered her romantic period, when she fell to writing poetry. The seven years following Louisa's fifteen-the birthday may be called her apprenticeship in life, because she tried various paths. She had just published her first book, called Flower Fables when the Civil War broke out. She gave her services.as a nurse, but she became ill and was forced to discontinue. She then made an unsucessful attempt to conduct a kindergarten in 1862. After her attempt as an educator she put all her time to writing, and at the age of thirty-six she was famous. Although her health was poor, due to hard work early in life, she did not stop writing until her death, which came quietly on March 6, 1888. She was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery of Sleepy Hollow at Concord. Her best loved books are "Little Men" and "Little Women." • _ _ o ^ — Helen Branchflower enjoyed a pleasant visit with her parents in Mount Vernon during Thanksgiving. Georgia Loomis, Helen Porter and Rosa Walrath spent the week-end on Orcas island. : • _ BARTON HALL GIRLS VACATION AT HOMES Geraldine Duff spent the Thanksgiving vacation at her home in Longview and then she motored south to Oregon. Beryl Krafft spent the vacation at her home in Seattle. Bernice Persohn and Jack Temple spent their vacation in Tacoma. Katherine Hays spent vacation in Olympia. . Catherine Hollis spent Thanksgiving vacation in Arlington. Margaret Barton and Leslie Williams spent the vacation at the latter's home,, in Seattle.

Competition Strong1 : The competition that the Vikings wil face this year is of extraordinary strength. The tri-normal teams are exceptionally so. Cheney is reported to have a fast outfit, while Ellens-burg, with two full teams of letter-men, is out to repeat their wonderful success of last year. The material that Carver and Gunn are trying to develop is none too promising, according to sideline basketball enthusiasts. However, new prospects are bound to appear during the turnouts that will brighten the Viking outlook. The men comprising the first squad up to the present time are: Denton, Zoet, Campbell, Sorensen, Harris, Robinson, Nolte, Miles and Malmquist. ••—: o RELICS TAKE FAST GAME FROM THUGS Overtime Period Necessary to Decide Winning Team Preparations are rapidly being made for the Chistmas hike to be held by W.

EXTRA PERIOD DECIDES GAME Doormats Nose Out the Harlequins in Close Game. tWAWl^CWK^lW'JWl^^^ W1VAV 1 W V 1 V 1 V 1 W 1 V 1 V 1 V W 3 With the Intramural League in full swing basketbajl is coming into its own this week. The Junior Varsity, under Assistant Coach Pop Gunn, swung into high gear last Tuesday night by walloping the American Shoe company 38-29. What the Varsity squad will look like is a question. Coach Carver has always been handicapped by inadequate gym facilities but this year more than ever the material is decidedly of the poorest variety. So, just a word to these Drugstore Cqaches, Spare the coaches unjust criticism and get in and pull for the squad, whether they're in first place or at the bottom of the heap. Rumor has it that Leo Nickelson, head man at Ellensburg, is being considered very strongly for a coaching position in Montana... Well, what they gain we lose, even though he is one of our arch enemies in this little athletic world of ours. It's doubtful with one exception if there is a better basketball coach in these parts than Nickelson. Of course he can't come up to Hec Edmundson of the University, but you will have to go a long way to find his equal around this little Evergreen state. So, if you do leave us, Mr. Nickelson, it is with regret that we see you go, and rest assured that we will always be pulling for you—tooth and toe-nail. Nick Bond came into his own this week by bagging 19 points for the Night Raiders. Just a tip, Nick. When your bunch of Night Hawks tangle with the Relics of Rock, its just going to be too bad. I've promised them a week's trip this vacation with the Smith Building thrown in for good measure, if they come through up to vacation time with a clean slate. So, please Nick, go easy with my proteges because I've got something in common with Southwest Washington and I sure want ot make the jaunt. What a Thanksgiving battle the Huskies put on for the unemployed against U. S. C. Funny how these Northwest teams play on Turkey Day. If memory serves me right that is the second time in history that the University has lost a Thanksgiving day battle. And what a game Wash-ington State put on. With about 20 seconds to go, Eubank, a fourth string fullback, kicked the field goal that brought home the bacon. Glen Rockey's Relics took a fast intramural game from the Co-op Thugs in the opener of the 1932-33 season Monday night. The game was very close through the thirty minutes of playing and ended in a tie. As the game ended the score book showed the Co-ops to have a one-point margin, but on a recount the score was tied at 18-all. The Relics hit their stride in the overtime period to roll in eight points in ,the three minutes remaining to play. Clark scored two long throws, and one each by Campbell and VanOver completed the scoring in this period. Due to the close calling by Coach Carver, the referee, many fouls were registered. Bill Malmquist, the star center of the Co-op aggregation, was the first victim to leave the game by this route. Stoddard and Clark, for ftie Relics, and Zwaschka and Cockerill, for the Co-op, led in the scoring. Co-ops, 19 Relics, 27 Harris 3 P Van Over 3 Cockerill 6 F.

The free throw contest conducted by Sam Carver started this week MW Viking Manor trounced the Bachelors Club 28-15, Monday afternoon in the men's gym. The rangy Manor sharp shooters piled up an early lead and held it throughout the game. John Gable scored 14 points for the Manor, while Bushby arid Smith made five apiece for the Bachelors. ' In the second game Rockey's Relics smeared Mulllns Angels in a hard fought game 34-21. The Angels led at half time ll-7, but were over-powered in the second half by scuddy shooting of Stoddard who sank four baskets in succession to place his team on top. Hollowell, flashy Angel guard, took high scoring honors with 12. Stoddard led the Relics' attack with 10 markers. Summary: » Viking Manor, 28 Bachelor, 15 Keane5 F. Minnihanl Lewis 4 .F.........

What a game this week-end down South when the Washington Huskies meets the Bruins of U. C. L. A. Boys, that's bound to be a dog and bear battle. v And C. P. S. takes it on the chin, down at Portland, Thanksgiving day. Columbia University pulled the miracle and slapped C. P. S. one right on the chin and it cost Sandbergs' team 6 points, just the margin of victory. Too bad; the Loggers possessed a fine season's record but the Notre Dame style of football was their Waterloo. Just to prove that Baseball is still smoldering comes an announcement from Oakland that Carl Uamlock has been released from the managing^ end of the Oakland ball club. It will be interesting to see who takes the Veteran Uamloclis place. He was a firm believer in the development of young stars just out of prep schools and colleges. Oakland always had a helping hand for any youngster who even showed the slightest amount of promise. Perhaps they will run with the same policy. It's hoped so, anyway.

XXXIV—NO. 34 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, June 19, 1936 Normalite By Joan Hoppe A cat may look at a king 'tis often said, and so, I view with humble and duly respectful eye those great souls who have dedicated their lives to the tender youth of America, and whom I am pleased and honored to call my fellow students. With awe and admiration I observe their nonchalance and poise, and dare to think that I may be like them when (or perhaps if) I grow up. In the classroom-while they speak with the firm conviction of the experienced, we, the inexperienced, sit open-mouthed, or only stutter hesitantly. They ask intelligent questions while we who really know so little find nothing that perplexes us whatsoever. They sit for endless hours in the peaceful twilight of the library, never glancing up when a door squeaks, a book drops into the shute, or someone whistles a careless tune under an open window. Lost in the perusal f a ponderous volume they pursue an elusive idea to its lair—they have acquired that priceless and vitally necessary attribute, concentration. In the halls—in assembly—in the campus there is a certain dignity, a certain purposefulness about their very bearing which distinguishes them from me and my often scatter- brained colleagues—just typical college students. • * * Ah—what a grand, what a glorious country we live in. It is flooded with great men, and good. There are so many public benefactors and friends of the people they can't even keep off each other's toes. They are filled to overflowing with human brotherhood and love of mankind. It maks them bitter to see their people so burdened with debt and taxation. They rise in indignation against the corrupt policies of petty politicians. They bade us fear not, for they have come to break the shackles—to make our city, our state, and our nation a better, yes and a safer place in which to live. Who are these great patriots that we have not heard of them before? They are what might be called quad-rennials— growing rank every four years. They are candidates, and their aspirations vary all the way from county commissionerships to presidency of the United States. This year's growth is now in the glory of full bloom. Too bad some of them weren't nipped in the bud. o Entrance Tests To Be June 23 and 24 June 23 and 24 are the dates for the entrance examinations. The college aptitude test will be given Tuesday, June 23, at 8:00 a. m., the achievement tests in arithmetic, English, and. spelling, Tuesday, June 23, at 4:00 p. m., and the achievement tests in history and penmanship Wednesday, June 24, at 4 p. m. Regardless of classification, all students who have not already done so are required to take the tests now given in this institution. Grades will be withheld unless these tests are taken. Students over'21 who are not applicants for diplomas from the school and transient students who expect to attend the summer quarter only may be exempted from all tests except the college altitude test and the physical and medical examination given under the direction of the Health department. v Assemblies For Summer Terms Now Scheduled Albert To Give Dramatic Recital Will Present Plays About English Queens Explorer Will Speak Harpsichord-Clavichord Recital of Special Interest Music, drama, and lectures will feature the summer quarter's assemblies, says Miss Ethel Church, secretary to President C. H. Fisher. Jean Ulrich, mezzo-soprano, is scheduled to appear June 23. Next Friday Sarah Truax Albert, interpreter of drama, will present scenes from four plays about English queens. She calls the recital, "Four of a Kind." Music lovers will be interested in the program scheduled for June 30, when Madge Quigley will give a recital on the clavichord and harpsichord. After a former appearance here, President Fisher said, "I doubt if we have ever offered a musical program that met with a finer response." Hollace Shaw, young California soprano, will give a concert Friday, July 3. A program of magic by Paul Fleming and his company is scheduled for July 6. One of the features of his program will be "Mango Tree," an illusion in which a small sprig develops in a few minutes into a full-grown mango tree. Carl Horthy, lyric tenor, will present a program July 14. A member of Admiral Richard E, Byrd's sec ond antarctic expedition, Lieut. Richard B. Black, will speak on his experiences for the July 21 assembly. This will be followed on July 28 by a lecture, when Royal Arch Gunnison will speak on the subject, "The Sore Spots of the World." Christina Tames, pianist from Toronto, Canada, will give a recital July 31. Two travelogues, "A Day in China," and "Alaska," and a recital by Hortense Yule and Chauncey Griffith will complete the summer's programs. Harry Kluge Heads Summer Publication Elected at the last spring quarter Board of Control meeting Harry Kluge, former managing and sports editor, this week assumed the duties of editor of the Northwest Viking for the summer quarter. Warren Toms was chosen business manager of the paper at the same meeting. Choosing from an experienced group, Kluge has selected as tentative staff the following: Mary Johnston, managing editor; Phyllis Robinson, news editor; Bob White, feature editor; Harlan Jones was chosen to edit the sports page, and Frances Pelegren has taken over the society column. Special staff writers include Joan Hoppe, former editor, Margaret Thon, former news editor and editor of the 1937 Klipsun, Helen Boothe, last quarter's co-feature editor and former exchange editor; Louise McBurney former society editor Dorothy Williams, Pat Wade, Marian Peterson, Rose Cassidy, and Oscar Svarlien. Kangley Reveals Year's Events Acknowledges Hours Spent Attending Father Divine; Congratulates Normal School Policies of Education "My most frivolous afternoon was spent in the presence of Father Divine and his band of ardent followers", said Miss Lucy Kangley of the English department, who recently returned from a year's study at Columbia university in New York. "These Harlem kings have gone the Americans one better and put rhythm in their religion", she added, "but their simple sincerity takes all the humor out of the occasion". Miss Kangley confessed spending five hours in this atmosphere and despite acute pangs of hunger refused the food served beween songs and testimonials. As the result of a competitive scholarship Miss Kangley spent the past year working on her doctor's degree at Columbia university. She enrolled in the institute of Arts and Sciences and thoroughly enjoyed the readings made by modern poets of their own works. A course in poetry under Robert Frost was a high spot in her year of study, as was one in the modern European novel directed by Joseph Wood Krutch. "Plays produced by the WPA federal theater project are breaking the reign of Broadway and making for a national theater", said Miss Kangley in talking of the season's current productions. She commented briefly on the slapstick presentation of Taming of the Shrew' and the performance made by Katherine Cornell in 'Romeo and Juliet'. "Despite the rain, I'm glad to be back and let me say that this western school is recognized throughout the nation," added Miss Kangley. "Orientation courses offered to our incoming freshmen are a worthwhile item not peculiar to all colleges", she stated, "and nowhere is a campus elementary school so well staffed". Miss Kangley concluded by rec-commending New York as an excellent vacation resort for teachers. "Travelers with a zest for travel but confined to the United States will find any part of Europe in New York". Prexy Attending Meet in Olympia Fisher Reports to State Board of Educatiin as Chairman Of Committee To attend a two-day session of the annual meeting of the State Board of Education, President C. H. Fisher will be in Olympia today and tomorrow. "I am especially interested in the report of the special committee on certification which will occupy considerable time at the meeting", reports President Fisher. He is chairman of this committee. Included in the program of business to be brought up are discussions on annual reports of elementary supervisors, high school supervisors, and vocational directors of agricultural, home economics, and trades and industries. Accreditation of high schools and junior high schools and accreditation of institutions for teacher training will also be discussed. In addition to the report of the special committee on certification, a report will be made of the special committee on certification for industrial arts teachers. Special cer tification cases and miscellaneous matters complete the agenda. Because the date, June 16, formerly set for the annual meeting of the Board conflicted with the opening of the summer term of several state institutions, state superintendent N. D. Showalter called the adjourned meeting for June 19 and 20. Seven Delegates Picked For Ore. Delegation To Study Problems Under World Authorities July 6 to 16. Robert Barnhart, Oscar Svarlien, Gordon Millikan, Alice Simons, Ethel Ross, Alymer C. Bright, and Margaret Kane were chosen Thursday from the applications submitted to Edward J. Amtzen, ocial Science instructor, as delegates to the International Relations conference to be held at Reed college, Portland, Oregon, July 6 to 16. The board of control of the As sociated students has voted to pay $10, the cost of registration, and $15 for the board and room of each delegate attending, the delegate fur nishing his own transportation to Portland. Representatives will attend all lectures, one morning round table, one afternoon round table, and any informal discussion group they wish Swimming in the pool, tennis on the courts, or golf on the East Moreland Golf course can be enjoy ed at a minimum charge as recreation. Perusal of the Conference faculty reveals that the lectures and round table leaders will be world travelers, professors, authors, diplomats, members of foreign commissions—authorities on international problems with the world at their finger tips, figuratively speaking. Representatives Attend Education Association Convention in Oregon "Education Moving Forward" will be the theme of the coming NEA convention at Portland, June 28 to July 2. It will open Sunday with a vesper service featuring an address by President Bruce Baxter of Willamette universtiy. There will be eight general session programs built like a summer course, of which three will offer electives. The faculty will Include outstanding speakers in the field of American education.

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

The picnic at the Rocks on Field day held Thursday, June 4, was such a success that a plea has been made for another one. The picnic was held from 5:00 to 10:30 and was in the form of a salmon bake.

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

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

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

HoTtnalite OBJECTION ACCEPTED A LA HOT AIR LOTTA HOGS YE PROF'S DIARY By Sammie. : We were grossly criticised because all our columns started with the same staid greetings. We are bowed down with shame and to show that weJcan take a good criticism we aren't going to start this one at all. We are going to jump right in! It seems that for the last couple /of ^months old man weather has nursed a secret grudge against' all those students who wished to barge forth on Sunday afternoon to smell the" balmy air, to pick the lovely f lpvrers and to swim the dancing lake; (please note -the poetic swing to late article). The weather has remained" at the top-notch of perfection''- until about 5:30 Sunday morning and then with a sputter and a drizzle "rain today and tomorrow" starts. Darn smart weather man we've got—but he doesn't believe in the "do unto others" part of l'arnin.5 I n the Pathe News the otlffcr night (the depression having lifted 15 cents worth) we saw a youth who could blow smoke through his ears! After It had traveled around in his head for a while and oozed out his hearing appendages—it's our opinion that it was a bunch of hot air! Am ,1 right? Test lime comes .,. When college men ,:.;^^Smdjd warning Home ahead— Saying, "Folks My grades may flop Be home for quite A while, slop!" A staring headline in the Emporia Gazette said, "More Hogs in Kansas.". More power to them!.. But the Normal could run the same headline with little alteration and be on the t r u th side, too! (For verification see Mr. Baughman.) Which all goes to remind us of the cute little poem we found while browsing (or drowsing) around the library. It goes like this: Razors pain you; Rivers are damp; Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp; Guns arent lawful; Nooses give; Gas smells awful; Might as well live! R a t h e r appropriate, considering the time of quarter and all—don't you think?—and more truth than poetry. ge wiz sum peepl mak me sor. in art tha uthr dae i hadda purtie desyne awFpantid an layin on tha flor. ther wuz a dogoned wommun stanin ovr a littul waze an she lukd (Continued on Page Two) State Librarian Visits at School Last Monday afternoon many of the students had the pleasure of meeting Miss Mildred Pope, new state librarian, in the children's department of the library. She explained to, them the services which the state library has to offer, to teachers and readers. Miss Pope said the state library consists of 30,000 books especially good in biography, drama and standard fiction. It also contains a valuable file of Washington newspapers dating from 1891. Before coming to this campus Miss Pope visited Washington State College and the University of Washington. She is a graduate of the Albany Library School of New York. For several years she was supervisor of the high school libraries in Ta-coma and then worked in the extension department of the New York State Library. "I am returning to the West because I love it and think it has possibilities," Miss Pope said. o REVISED BLUE BOOK NEARS COMPLETION New Cellusuede Cover Featured Among Many Changes A blue cellusuede cover with a large white W and the numerals 1932-33 is the most striking new feature of the revised Blue Book. It adds to both the beauty and durability of the book. Several other important changes have been made. The constitution and by-laws of the Students' Association are printed in their revised form. An explanation of the Students' Loan Fund and how to obtain such loans is included. Information concerning the Sophomore Scholarship Cup and the qualifications necessary to become a candidate for it are given. The function of the nurse's office and the infirmary are explained. This information should be especially valuable to new students. The football schedule for the fall quarter is given and the duties of the yell leaders explained. The address and phone number of each organized house is also given. Several unusual features are included. The frosh dictionary will instruct the green little freshmen in the terms and phrases commonly found in a college student's vocabulary. The several pages designed for memoranda/ addresses and phone numbers should be useful to those who have many of these to remember. The book, which will be ready for distribution at the opening of the fall quarter, is being edited by James Stoddard and Roger Chapman. They were assisted by Lorinda Ward, June Welch, Naomi Watson and Davey Jones. Miller Sutherlen are doing the printing. * DICK ALBERT, WANDERING HERO, RETURNS VIA CAR, PRETTY GIRL . By Naomi Watson The deed has been done. The wandering hero again starts to begin to commence to return. Dick Albert, the'long distance hiker, shoved off from 126 Parke street, West Pittston, Pa., on August 1. The lucky clown is:': driving a gentleman and his yourig and attractive daughter all the way'to Everett, Wash. The letter received describes Sran-ton; Pa gt;, as the "dirtiest city," on account of its being in the heart of tjbe coal industry, and he adds: "You must: admit that coal is dirty." pick ol' bean visited a zoo and a museum hut* managed to get out of both .places, i n the zoo was an elephant called "Queenie." When Albert foW tbAt he was yell king, they w a n ^ 7 h im to stay as a permanent guest at !tt)e zoo. You know, Klngie and Queenie. • "The people of Pennsylvania are largely ruled by tradition," says Dick. "Here that which is old is honored. In the West it is the new that gets the big hand." Eastern cities are largely lighted by gas. "Even Schenectady, called the 'Electric City,' is gas lighted," says the tourist. Who said that Normal wouldn't be on the map? Well, not quite a map, but a program. Dick spoke at the Rotary Club in West Pittston Wednesday, July 20, and was the youngest speaker the Rotarians had yet included on their program. The "Albert to D. C." news is over but it was fun while it lasted. Anyway we who will struggle on and on this fall can talk it over with Dick himself. ACCEPTED BY BOARD AT MEETING TUESDAY Present Viking Business Manager Proposes Salary Plan for Employes F O R D ASKS FOR PANEL The resignation of the vice-president of the Associated Students, Theona Flick, was read and accepted "with regrets" at the regular Board of Control meeting last Monday evening. As Miss Flick will not be enrolled as a regular student next fall quarter she was obliged to resign. Her position will be filled at a regular Associated Students election in the fall, at which time two other positions will be filled, those of Howard Mickelson and Elsie O'Donnell, both of whom are completing their term of office this quarter. A question as to the advisability of electing a secretary to the board this quarter or waiting until fall quarter was raised. It had previously been decided to postpone the election until later but was decided that inasmuch as there is considerable work to be done the first week of school the position should be filled immediately. Positions Discusesd The board, which was presided over by the Associated Students president, James Butler, considered next in the course of the meeting the applications for the positions of editor and business manager of the Northwest Viking, notices having been posted on the bulletin board calling for applications to begin work in the fall quarter. James Stoddard, associate editor of the Viking and staff member for five quarters, was the only applicant for the position of editor. For the position of business manager the only applicant was Roger Chapman. A letter by Mrs. Ruth Burnet, faculty adviser of the Viking, was read by the board. Under a new (Continued on Page Two) DR. HENRY NEUMANN. AUTHOR. TO LECTURE AT SPECIAL ASSEMBLY Popular in Books Will Be Reviewed Evening Lectures by Dr. Neumann A U G U S T 8, 9, 10 A N D 11 Dr. Henry Neumann, author and educator, will lecture in a special assembly to be held Monday at 11 o'clock and at the regular assembly on Tuesday. Evening Lectures Scheduled Dr. Neumann is also giving a series of lectures on August 8.. 9, 10 and 11 at 8 p. m. in the Normal auditorium. In these he will review "Shadows on the Rock," by Willa Cather; "The Epic of America," by James Truslow Adams; "Their Father's God," by Ole Rolvaag, and "The Life of Emerson," by Van Wyck Brooks. Dr. Neumann is leader in the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture, instructor in education and ethics in the Ethical Culture Schools, and author of "Education for Moral Growth," as well as a number of other books. The lecturer was graduated from the Business Administration College in New York City with a Phi Beta Kappa honor in 1900 and then attended both Cornell and Columbia, where he obtained his doctor's degree. He has acted as instructor at the Business Administration College, University of Wisconsin, Ohio State University and University of California. Coloratura Soprano Coming A musical program is planned for the assembly on Friday, August 12, when Dorothy Baker, coloratura soprano, will entertain. Miss Baker is soloist for Little Symphony Hour,, which is broadcast from Station KOMO on Mondays and Thursdays. She is also soloist at the First Baptist Church at Seattle. She will be accompanied by John Hopper, of the Cornish School. Miss Ruth Weythman Plans Trip To See World Historical Marks Trio Entertains in Friday Assembly (By Ethel Page) The Williams Concert Trio entertained Friday with a well chosen program of popular classics. They opened the recital with the brilliant "Russian Trio" of Dvorak and blended the rest of their program with different musical moods. They played the old familiar favorites with warmth and sympathy. The program was suited in every respect to bring out the musical possibilities of such a trio. We were especially interested to hear the "Motif Antigue" by Mrs. C. H. Fisher. It added charm to the program to know personally the composer of such a creditable composition. STUDENT ABSENT AS RESULT OF SICKNESS Helen McNeil was absent from school Monday with an infected finger. Mildred Franz, recently confined in the detention hospital with diphtheria, has definitely dropped school for this quarter. She returned to her home at Carlisle Sunday. Howard Mickelsen, who suffered a severe sprain in his ankle during basketball practice, was absent from classes Tuesday. Nelson Brewer had a n infection in his leg which forced him to leave school lastThursday. He returned Tuesday. By Betty Pearson "Around the world and back again".

Reasons given for taking this stand were that none of the applicants could qualify under the point system propose! by the faculty and also that only one application was received for each position. S T A F F MEMBERS of the Viking are entirely in sympathy with the aim of the Board to raise standards for the Viking, but we fear that by so suddenly effecting this reform the efficiency of the Viking will be impaired. T H E B.OARD of Control is justified, as is the faculty, in demanding that employes of the Associated Students and the school maintain a fairly high scholastic average. Positions of honor and leadership should be saved for those attending the school with the definite purpose of making a success of their scholastic work. • AS T O T H E number of applicants for the positions, an entirely different line of reasoning is involved. Work on any newspaper is highly specialized and a number of quarters' experience is required before a student becomes capable of meeting both the mechanical and editorial problems of the Northwest Viking. T O R E A C H a place where a person is considered able to handle the editorial duties necessitates many hours of extra-curricular work. There is real competition in the start for staff positions and for department editorships, but when the time has come for selecting a new editor-in-chief many of the contenders have dropped by the wayside and it is seldom that more than one or two are competent or feel themselves competent to be placed in full charge of the paper. T H E FACT that only one person applies to the Board of Control for the position of editor, makes the board feel, and rightly so, that their power of selection is nullified. There is nothing left to do, if the position is filled, but approve the one candidate. A SOLUTION, since it is conceded that seldom more than one or two are truly fitted through practice and natural ability to handle the job, Would be to have the Board of Control check minor staff promotions more closely. Then by the time an editor is to be selected, they could from assistant editors of their own recommendation choose the successor to the editor-in-chief. IN T H E present case for the good of the Viking and best interests of the faculty adviser and the school, the Viking positions should be filled, if only temporarily, before the end of this quarter. The high scholastic rating should by all means be enforced and the Board of Control should more closely direct staff promotions in the future. Continnuity should be pro- 4,.—,,- ! Between Classes By P A T ALLAN American educational systems are queer. On one hand we have the Mind Mill. Students fill out forms —all identical, hear identical lectures and identical bad jokes, make the same complaints about the overbearing faculty, live the same life, smoke the same cigarettes (one for every two men), sing the same songs, take the same exercise, Walk the same, use the same figures of speech, and at the end, of their course, all take the same tests and go out into the world with the same amount of knowledge—none. On the other hand we have the. schools specializing in "rugged individualism." Wise landlords rent their rooms unfurnished. The library of the school is filled to capacity with the best books. They are all there, every single book. The students are all out reading from the Book of Life (night life). The students go through the four-year course, perhaps meeting two or three professors, and graduate with honors, a ruined stomach, and an unmistakably purple-tinted nose. Graduates of both institutions immediately discard what little knowledge they have, sharpen their native wit, and enter the Pace for Happiness along with the rest. And what is happiness? • To begin, a man must have a bald head and a large equator. A woman needs nothing but jewelry, a shiny car, neighbors to gossip about, a noisy radio, an operation, and the ability to play very bad bridge. MISS WEYTHMAN TO TOUR' WORLD The completely happy American smokes cigars, big black cigars which smell like musty attics. He chews his cigar Well while smoking, thereby looking important. Everything is like something else in God's Country. Even the boats have "sister ships." "Rugged American individualism!" Phooey! Summer seems to have come at last—like an old maid late to a party, quite out of breath, but gasping pleasant apologies, all warm and moist with a pleasant warmth and a pleasant moistness. The mystery of it all is—how do so many people manage to get to class? vided for at present, but it is our honest opinion and our sincere hope that the board will eventually apply the excellent changes that have been advanced for the betterment of the Northwest Viking. o— "Tony" Flick, vice-president of the Associated Students is resigning and we join with the rest of her associates in regretting that she will no longer serve and represent the students as she has so ably done the past two quarters. c ONSIDERING OMPETITION T O P L A Y to win or to play for the spirit and personal satisfaction that is derived from a sport is a question that has arisen countless times. No definite conclusion has been reached and probably never will. In nearly every instance athletes will say that both points are the ultimate aim of competitive athletics. B U T A closer analysis proves this not absolutely true. Sports for the victory sake obviously carries with it a conception of "victory at any cost"; professionalism, athlete subsidizing and other characteristics of professional athletics. C O M P E T I T I O N for the "game's sake" and the benefit derived from it carries with it a certain connotation of clean, honest, invigorating athletics. Participants are bettered and participation is placed on a higher level. A T O U R Olympic Games, now being conducted at Los Angeles, a goodly number of the athletes admit frankly that they are competing for the love of sport and the benefit obtained from it. Thank you, Miss Doty, for that interesting interpretation and review of the Drama Club play, "Alison's House," in last week's Viking. We always deeply appreciate any contributions representing the interest and work of the faculty.

This means you will need to do your shopping early, which is really not a disadvantage, for Bellingham's merchants have many good values to offer. 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 and only pair of stockings. We thought you would be interested in a line of hosiery which is now selling for 69 cents. They will be a great help to the hole problem for they have reinforced heels. Before you leave school you should take advantage of this offer as you can depend upon getting quality if you buy at THE HOSIERY SHOP, 1312B Cornwall Ave. Mesh maintains its popularity, The latest thing in material is a new •. lightweight wool mesh.

Christine Albers played two piano selections, "Gondola," by Hanselt, and "Hark, Hark the Lark," a composition by Shubert Lizt. A clever one-act comedy, "The First White Woman," was given by the girls in Mr. Hoppe's play production class. Those taking part were: Gerda Jensen, Marguerite Biersmer, B e t ty Pearson, Peggy Forrest, Dorothy Price and Mrs. Johnson. Kathryn Rosenquist directed the play.

The new system, yet to be adopted by the faculty, requires that the editor and the business manager have a 2.5 scholastic average. Discussion was held concerning eligibility and a suggestion made that election be postponed until it was definitely determined if the candidates could qualify. A motion was made, seconded and passed to postpone the election until the second board meeting of the fall quarter. Plan Accepted A new salary plan drawn up and proposed by Bob Waters, present business manager of the Northwest Viking, was discussed and the proposal accepted to give the plan a trial during the fall quarter 1932. The plan will take the responsibility of the editor's and business manager's salary from the Associated Students and place it directly on the advertising revenue. The editor will receive a salary of $8 per issue and the manager $6 if the ads warrant. Bonuses will be paid in case of a surplus of funds accumulated through advertising. Sam Ford, manager of the Student Co-op, presented for the board's approval a decorating panel to be used in the Co-op. Mr. Ford asked that he be allowed to spend $5Q, the amount required to have the panel painted and put up. The sum of $50 was allowed Ford. A chairman for the fall quarter mixer will be appointed by James Butler, according to a motion passed by the board. It was decided to exclude all guests from the mixer and make it a strictly Normal affair. Members of the board present at the meeting were James Butler, Theona Flick, Vernon Leatha, Elsie O'Donnell, Howard Mickelson, Mr. Herbert Ruckmick, Mr. E. A. Bond and Emlyn Jones, secretary.

A lot of the scribes had the Bambino tagged for the garbage pile ages ago but it's a safe) bet of anybody's money that the Sultan of Swat will still be in there hitting 'em a mile when the majority of us are applyihg.for our teachers' pensions. Can you feature a high school coach losing his job and then get7 ting it back in the next mail? That's just what happened over at Port Orchard High School recently when Fred Dunnigan, the Ferndale cowhand, lost out on account of too high a salary. But it seems as though the students couldn't see it that way and promptly called a meeting of the town fathers to try and remedy the fact. The conclusion was that the school board members were told in a none too gentle tone to approach the disposed coach who had won four football championships, with another contract and henceforward not to meddle into business that threatened to disrupt their athletic policy. Just another case of he who laughs last, laughs best. Young Mel Almada, of the Seattle Indians, is sure a jinx to any man who even thinks of playing right field for the Seattle team. Last March, Brother Louie brought young Mel into the Seattle training camp and asked Manager Ernie Johnson (now deposed) to give little brother a trial. In about two weeks time Louie, the good Samaritan, was pounding the pavement looking for work while little Brother Mel was holding down right field for the Indians. Now Pete Scott, another In-' dian, felt the keen edge of the pruning knife yesterday when "Windy Bill" Klepper gave notice to his aging veterans that unless they start to win ball games in a goodly fashion they will walk the plank. In releasing Scott, Klepper let it be known that from now on Mel Almada is the regular right fielder. It's a cinch that Louie Almada will think twice before taking Brother Mel to another manager and say, "Come on, give the boy a chance; he sure can hit curve ball pitching." ci GIRAFFE NEVER NOISY The only sound a giraffe can make is one resembling a cough. U. OF W. HUSKIES TAKE GAME 8-2 Visitors Held to Four Hits Up to Seventh Inning Claude Brannon, three-year letter-man of the, University of Washington, pitched his teammates to an 8-to-2 victory over the Vikings' summer school baseball team Wednesday afternoon oh Battersby field. Tom Stiger, Coach Gunn's starting pitcher, chucked good ball but wildness coupled together with hits with men on the sacks, spelled his downfall. Stiger all told walked six Huskies and wild pitched three more to unearned runs. Save for these lapses ofvcontrol Stiger held the University to 4 hits up until the seventh inning, but here he weakened and allowed the visitors to hammer his offerings for a total of-three hits and four runs. At this juncture of the game, Beaton, the curve ball expert from Rockport, went to the rescue and set the visitors down in order during the eighth and ninth innings. ,, University Scores The U-ites drew first blood when they coupled two free passes and a single by Dobie, to score during the opening stanza. Bellingham came right back and made an attempt to even the score through Boulton's first, of three hits during the afternoon, but couldn't quite tie the count as Comfort grounded out to end the inning. By scoring one run each during the second and fourth innings and climaxing this with the three-run splurge in the seventh the visitors put the game in the sack. Rhodes Triples The locals made a vain attempt in the sixth to come from behind and forge ahead when Gallanger dumped one into right field for a single. Jim McCleery advanced "Gallie" to second when Hartnett, Washington third sacker, booted his high bounder. Beaton pame up and advanced the men along with a high fly to right field. Sid Comfort was hit by a pitched ball, filling the sacks and setting the stage for Rhodes, who hit the first ball pitched for three bases, scoring two runners ahead of him as McCleery was picked off of second base a moment before the three-ply swat. Kanaar struck out to end the inning. Brannon chucked steady ball for the visitors and it was only during the sixth that Bellingham was in a position to score, but he tightened and dampened any hopes of tieing the score then and ODD TASTE IN BU.TTER Among some early people of Asia, butter was regarded as most delicious if it could be buried for years before it was placed on the banquet table. ; i—u^mt— lt;«—«{• Whsrt Style istoxpatsht 119 W.

The Gable clan bunched three hits in the initial inning to punch over the only run until the six innings and their only tally for the entire fracas. Hits Bunched The Lilacs nipped the Gable offerings tantalizingly for the first five innings and then hopped on his underhanded twisters for a four hit three run rally before the befuddled Gobblers could stop the assault. Again in the seventh the Lilacs took advantage of three Gobbler errors, combined with two hits, to force in three more tallies to take the game with ease. Bowlton Stars Besides slapping the mush-bag for three out of four, Boulton, Lilac moundsman, pitched four hit ball for the seven innings, which is something for a soft-ball league.

Rhodes, McMackin and Boulton, with one, two and three hits, respectively, led the locals, while Brannon, Hartnett and Dobie led the visitors. The two teams meet in a return game next Wednesday at Seattle. TENNIS STARS WIN FllOMU.OFW.MEN Huskies Take Honors Tournament Golf Playing slashing, vicious tennis throughout the entire four matches, former stars of Sam Carver's tennis squads rolled up a three-to-one victory over summer school experts from the University of Washington last Wednesday afternoon on the Normal courts. Houghton and Bob Fisher hurdled their singles ' opponents with little difficulty and also had clear sailing in their doubles encounter with the U students. Nick Bond dropped his match after a long, weary session of battle. None of the members of the Normal team are now enrolled in school but more than provided for the necessary competition expressly asked for by the University players. Golf Match Dorpped The golf tournament, the third number on the afternoon's program, went to the Husky pellet chasers in an extremely close contest.

It will be held May 2 in the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold Hotel. "The girls have always complained that the men lacked initiative in extending invitations," Mae said. As this informal precedes the All-school dance this time instead of returning dates the girls have first choice. She warned all those who plan to attend to sign the tentative list on the bulletin board by Thursday at 4:00 p. m. Chairmen of the various committees are: Virgie Boal, publicity; Gwen Grant, programs; Virginia Hall, invitations; Max-ine Moldrem, decorations; Janet Johnson, refreshments. Symposium Marks Student's Assembly Student Speakers Air Opinions; Absent Faculty Scored "The symposium discussion held during last Friday's assembly was not the idea of any one group, but an expression of the views of the majority of the students," says Mon Orloff, president of the Associated Students. "Although the number of speakers chosen to appear on the rostrum was necessarily limited, they were chosen as being representative of the different lines of thought on the campus, which up to now has found expression only among small groups." The speakers, Gordon Millikan, Ed Tomco, Bob Hartley, and Elmer Lindquis, spoke on topics related to campus and scholastic activities from the students' angle. "We believe that these topics should be discussed openly by both faculty members and students, and we hope to have more of these symposium discussions," Orloff stated. "I'm only sorry that faculty attendance at assemblies is not compulsory." Blue Triangle Plans Election and Pienic Appointment of a nominating committee for the Blue Triangle election to be held April 29 was the purpose of a special meeting in the Blue Triangle club house Monday. Members of the committee are Faye Wenzell, Anne Decker, Helen Klumb, and Florence Lund, president. A report of the social service committee was given by Margaret Win-terhalter. The report stated that 147 Easter cards were sent to people at the county home and the Cedars, tuberculosis sanitarium. The date for the Blue Triangle annual picnic to be held on Sunset hill was set for June 3. After making detailed plans for the play to be given April 22, the meeting was adjourned. Meredith's Novels Now- Offered to Sophisticates "The Amazing Marriage", "Harry Richman", and "Evan Harrington" are the George Meredith novels recently added to the library shelves. These novels should furnish an interesting appeal to the sophisticated students of the Normal school, according to Dr. A. C. Hicks, English instructor. "Meredith is a master of the art of sophistication and brings out a type of worldliness quite different from that of other authors," says Dr. Hicks. Acklen, Late Nominee, Leads Field In Number of Votes Cast In Election One-half Students Vote Tomco Comes Close in Race for Man or Woman Post Because of a last minute discus-sion of the election committee, this election will be considered a primary with the finals to include Taylor, Tomco, Acklen, and Padden, for the two posts. Bill Taylor and Helen Acklen were chosen four quarter representatives to the Board of Control in the election held ysterday. They will take office immediately in the places of Cliff Johnson and Arne Johnsen. Approximately one-half the students turned out to the polls. Acklen Surprises In spite of the fact that Miss Acklen was nominated by petition the last possible day, she received the largest number of votes cast for any candidate. Miss Acklen resides in Portland, Oregon, and is now in her sixth quarter of school. She has been prominent on social affairs and is at present the chairman of the Sophomore party. Anna Padden, the WAA candidate followed in second place, with Virginia Holm, Helen Hostetter, and Joyce Janson dividing the remaining votes. Tomco Makes It Close Taylor, a Fairhaven graduate, collected enough votes to lead Ed Tomco, of football fame, for the position of either man or woman representative. Taylor held a ten-vote margin over his W club brother. Anne Decker, Ed Angel, and Betty Swisher followed in the order named. Taylor is a home town boy and has attended Normal for five quarters. He's a miler on Sam Carver's track squad and managed the Junior Varsity basketball team. New Club Members Of Alkisiah Initiated Initiation of 11 new members took place at the regular meeting of the Alkisiah club held Monday evening at 7:30 p. m. in the club room. Talks relating to the personality of the individual were given by Thelma Curtis, Clara Cunningham, and Marjorie Tenoll. Mildred Bean was program chairman. The new members of the club are Myrtle Anderson, Betty Barker, Bernice Chambers, Carmen Ek, Millie Gerdis, Jean Hatch, Arlene Logan, Jean Lyons, Imogene Peterson, Marion Price and Marion Streater. The possibility of a boat or a weekend trip during this quarter was discussed and Mildred Bean was appointed chairman of a committee to work on the plans. At the regular meeting the nominating committee will take charge of election of officers. This meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Harold Fisher, an alumna. A program is being planned by Edna Pearson. o Ruckmick Attends Meet On Industral Educaton Herbert C.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Your reporter caught her in the act but without losing her composure. Miss Weythman simpered, '7'm only proving that the hand is quicker than the fly". LEE—PE reporter Four students were drowned in the swimming pool of the new PE building last Saturday after the Junior- Senior party. The boys had evidently partaken too heavily of the refreshments served, were seized with cramps, and slithered off into the murky oblivion of the tile-lined swimming pool. Blub. Campus day plans, involving a water carnival at Normal staged on Lake Whatcom, individual activities and two assemblies, were outlined to the Board of Control at their meeting Wednesday by Ruth Kulle, Campus day chairman. She announced that Bill Hussey and Agnes Martin are in charge of the swim fete; Burdette Miller, assembly; Roberts Thygeson, lunch; Chet Orloff, tennis courts; Don Wilson, ticket sale; Ed Tomco, clean-up; Leonard Carroll, parking and loading; Louise Vistaunet, dance; Bill Frender, patrol; and Homer Bor-roughs, cars. A program of sports [and entertainment has been ordered from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. for May 1. I t 's too bad we haven't a piece of work to do; there's nothing students enjoy more than stalling on the job," remarkd Edward Arntzen, faculty member of the Board, in consideration of the plans. Manager Undecided With Coach Chuck Lappenbusch present, the Board again debated the value, duties and rewards of the athletic manager position. Board members expressed opinions that it would be justifiable only in so far as the manager could effect economy by policing of grounds at football games, enlarging of gate receipts, etc. Further discussion was tabled until next week. Mon Orloff announced that the Freshmen party will take the place of tonight's rec hour. -o Viking Cubs Initiated After Exciting Ordeal; Party Tomorrow Night Another eight students have survived the terrifying experience of the Viking initiation. Continuing the old tradition of initiating the future newspaper writers who are taking their first journalism, the Viking staff passed the beginners through the "grueling ordeal" yesterday afternoon at the Miller and Sutherlen print shop where the Northwest Viking is printed. After tossing their self-respect to the winds they were led from the campus down High street, through the city to the print shop, each tightly clasping a piece of string, under the direction of the sports editor. At their destination they, proceeded to the dreaded trip through "Terror Gulch", the short walk to the "mossy log" where their nerves were gently soothed and had their experience with the yellow type lice. Refreshments were served both during and after the initiation. It's only half over, however, and will be continued at the home of Joan Hoppe, editor, tomorrow night. Those being initiated are: Margaret Osier, Margit Olsen, Katie Mustappa, Mildred Richardson, Owen Lade, Clarence Soukup, Warren Toms, and Glen Meek. Racket Men Are Victorious Over Mount Vernon Collegians Last Monday Kidder Tops Golf List Holder and Johnsen Head Teams During Time Trials Because of the postponement of the University of Washington baseball game scheduled for next Monday, Coach Chuck Lappenbusch has arranged a practice game with the Bellingham Boosters to be played next Tuesday, April 21, at Battersby field. Lappenbusch has hopes of getting his team straightened out during the game and will probably find a winning combination from those turning out. The probable lineup will likely include Clifton or Stutz, catching; Bishop, Oppelt and Smith doing the chucking: Chorvat, Van-derGriend, Kvinsland, and Dzurich at the other infield posts. Alphaugh, Cook, Clifton, Dzeidzic, and Iverson are likely prospects to take care of the outfield posts. McKenzie Out Max McKenzie, veteran catcher, is unable to give full justice to his studies, work, and ball playing, and will be little seen on the diamond this year. Clifton, besides playing in the outfield is counted on to catch at times to relieve Stutz who is also handicapped by student teaching. A former Whatcom high school athlete, Clifton is also turning out for track in his spare time and is expected to play football next fall. Students Welcome All students who wish to see the team in their first performance of the year are invited to stroll across town and see the game Tuesday. The Boosters boast a strong hard hitting lineup composed of older and more experienced players than the Vikings and are expected to give them some opportunity to chase a few balls in the outfield. day in the slow time of 21.5 seconds for 180 yards. Golf will make its official debut in the Viking sport scheduled at 1:30 this afternoon when the Normal golfers meet the Pacific Lutheran college squad on the Lakeway golf course. ^ Phil Kidder will hold down the number 1 position, Pat Jacpbson second, and Bob Lindsey third. Jerry Jacobson will control fourth position and Manford Chase, fifth. Jerry Jacobson was on the bottom rung of the ladder for one day this week after Homer Morris defeated him in a match played Tuesday, but Jacobson retaliated by regaining the position on Wednesday. Morris is now automatically n the last rung of the golf ladder and will not get a chance to play in the matches today. According to Coach Sam Carver, the men who are representing the school this afternoon are not necessarily the regular squad. There is still a chance for a change in positions by means of team members' challenging each other. Training School Assembly Uses Original Theme Animal Plays And Nature Poems Presented by Second Grade; Booth Assists Syracuse has the answer for cleaning up student elections. A self-styled "vigilante committee" entered the dean's office, carried away the ballot box and threw the votes into the furnace. What could we do to the voting machines? With Arne Johnsen and Don Holder selected as captains of the two teams, two crack squads are squaring it off on the oval circle field, yesterday and today between 3:00 and 4:00 o'clock. The two captains picked their men from the candidates for the 1936 track squad. The purpose of this melee, which might be termed a dual meet between the forces of Holder and John-sen, is to give Coach Sam Carver an idea of the strength of his cinder lads and the probable men to use in the forthcoming Mount Vernon Junior college meet. Meet Thursday The Vikings will clash with the Collegians next Thursday, April 23, on the home track. The Norsemen should take this one in stride. There is a possibility that all events will not be held due to the inexperience of the Junior college squad.
