XXIX—NO. 35 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCH POL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, March 21, 1930 r t Normalite JOURNALISM TEACHER FAILURES FINIS AND YE DIARY — RAY CRAFT With this issue of the Viking, Dolly Anderson terminates four quarters spent at the editor of the Northwest Viking. Hers has been a period of achievement, and the new staff will inherit a smooth running newspaper organization, a group of ambitious cubs trained under her leadership, and the traditional Viking position as one of the finest Normal School publications in the United States. Dolly Anderson is the third girl to have served in the editor's chair here. Since the first publication in 1809, the editorial office has been dominated by men. The reason, no doubt, is that many more men than women seek journalism as a profession. This is for those who haven't experienced the thrill of working on a paper: If you want a lot of fun and a lot of experience, sign up for English 3a under Fowler next quarter. You'll like the incomparable "Art" and "Walt" at the printery, and youll learn how, when you get out in the teaching field, to co-operate with the press and sell your community on your pet projects. .———W. S. N. S. BELLINGHAM CHAMBER DROPS FESTIVAL PLANS AT TUESDAY SESSION flf!f|Ps lllll§§ Commenting: last week on "Why Teachers Fail", Glenn Frank, president of Wisconsin University, recites the causes of failure uncovered by Skerman Lettler in . a n exhaustive study several years ago. Mr. Frank declares that these seventeen findings are still t h e main sources of inefficiency in our schoolrooms. The seventeen causes of teacher failure are these: Lack of control over the technique off teaching. Lack of ability to maintain order and discipline. Lack of mastery of subject matter. Lack of intelligence. Lack of effort, initiative, and adaptability. Lack of common sense. Lack of physical energy. Lack of standards of achievement. Lack of ability to carry on and of singleness of purpose. Lack of sympathetic understanding- of pupils. ; Lack of social background. Lack of knowledge of what pupils can dp. Lack of personality.. Lack ef moral standards. Mr. Frank declares that "If every teacher in the nation would check himself or herself against these seventeen causes of failure, in complete honesty of analysis, we might remake our schools within a few years. "Great teachers are great men and great women. We need never expect to have an over-supply of great teachers, therefore, for the race does not throw up a great many great men in any generation. But we must keep up the quest of teachers who bring to their task an informed technique,., accurate., and wide knowledge, intelligence, energy, initiative, adaptability, common sense, high standards of personal morals and professional achievement, singleness of purpose, sympathy, a rich social background, and an inspiring personality. W. S. N. S. And now that we are arriving at the bottom? of our column; our term as Normalite is about over. To use the crude vernacular of the fight , game, we've had some good matches since we got into this racket. We got the decision with the Nurse's office, and they are getting ready to build a men's consultation office. We went to a draw with Men's club reforms, and when we got in there to alter the class cutting system, our foot must have slipped or something, because when we came too the lights were out and the customers had all gone home. So we guess we're a has-been as Normalite, and we climb out between the ropes to let in a,faster, harder hitting youngster who has. a world of stuff up his cuff, and who. ^ bound to get a.big;hand from the ffanis when he goes into action. :0^:^\:'-r^^ • "•••••.';.4.:'. Trustees of the Chamber of Commerce voted Tuesday to abandon the Tulip festival this year. This action was taken on account of the agitation brought forth by many of the business men of the town, in regards to the carnival. The trustees' vote was overwhelming. They made the suggestion that the Tulip festival be held every other year, alternating with a Mount Baker marathon also every , other year. Another factor coming into its abandonment, is the lack of-sup-port being given to it by trie townspeople. To many of the Normal students the abandonment was quite a disappointment. The school was to have figured quite prominently in the Festival. The Queen and two princesses were to have been chosen' from the Normal. The Queen was to have been a Bellingham girl. The Pageant on Battersby field was also in charge of the "Normal by the Sea". President Fisher was co-operating with some of the committees in charge, also. 600STUDENTS HAVE REGISTRATION PLANS FOR NEXT QUARTER 100 of the Number Haven't Paid Fees, But Work for Next Term and Usual Rush Will Be Missing. FOUR CLASSES NOT TO MEET New Students, Old Members and Transfers Will Meet in Rooms 120, 105, and Dean Bever's Office. LUNCHEON IS GIVEN BY UPPER DIVISION College Group Reorganized for the First Time in Many Years; Dick Louis Made President of Class. The Junior-Senior College gave a luncheon for its members and several of the faculty on Thursday, March 13, in Edens Hall clubroom. This group, composed of all upper division students in the school has just reorganized this quarter after being inactive for several years. At present they have a membership of about sixty students. This membership is expected to increase rapidly in the future since the new requirements for longer attendance have been enforced. The officers elected this quarter are Dick Louis, president; Grace Olson, vice-president; Prances Young, secretary, and Eva Catlin, I. C. C. representative. Dr. Irving Miller is the faculty adviser. The luncheon last Thursday was for the purpose of making the members of the organization better acquainted, and to serve as an introduction for future events which will be planned for next quarter. The following program was presented: Vocal solos, Frances Young, accompanied by Margaret Morrison. Piano solos Doris Thompson Short speeches were made by Dr. Miller and Dick Louis. Mr. Lewis welcomed the members and urged good co-operation in all further affairs of the organization. Dr. Miller spoke of the fine possibilities for leadership in school life which this group possesses. Faculty guests at the luncheon included Miss Emma Erickson, Miss j Delie Keeler, Dr. Irving Miller and; Dr. C. C. Upshall. I Six hundred students took advantage of the pre-registration period, which occurred the latter part of this quarter. Of these, five hundred have completely registered, while the remainder have yet to pay their fees. This situation will make registration for the opening day of next quarter, Monday, March 31, a simple process.

Final Plans for Klipsun Well Under Way, Announces Editor of 1930 Book Work on the Klipsun is progressing rapidly and"-final plan's for organization are almost ^entirely finished, according to Bernice Gnagey, editor of this year's annual. Several innovations are promised and the book will differ in many respects from the 1929 Klipsun. There will be no regular section of campus photographs as has heretofore been the custom but, instead, the division pages will be the background for various campus sketches. These sketches will be worked out in a new water color process which is said to give a clear, smooth, and delicate appearance to the colors. Three shades will be used—blue, yellow, and burnt siena. An evening scene of the entire campus with Sehpme Hill rising above will be pictured on the end sheets in both the front and back. This will relieve the uninteresting appearance of the opening pages. The cover design has not yet, been chosen but the David Maloy Company, of, Chicago, and a Seattle firm are now working on it. The dominant tone in the cover will probably •be blue and the word "Klipsun," as well as the numerals "1930," will be placed on the front instead of on the backbone as was done last year. The border on each page will consist of a small sketch of the main building in a blue shade, with a column of ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 March 21 - Page 2 ---------- ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ V^infeTON e iNorcnwest vu Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Fotmded 1899 lng Published weekly by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash.

It is with a little sadness that I relinquish the position I have treasured for the past four quarters, but it is a sadness mingled with gladness for with my going comes a new editor, full of new ideas, brimming over with eager intentions—one '' who will doubtless make you anticipate each issue of the Viking. A -iBefore I go, I want to thank Ray, Bobby, Pearl, Barney, Bert, Arnold, Jack, Irene, and those four staffs of reporters with whom I f J have worked, for their faithfulness, eagerness, and their true Viking spirit. To the Viking ship's main sails, Art and Walt, the "corpulent" and lean printers, respectively, and Mr. Fowler, may I express my sincere gratitude. I am glad to have had the opportunity of being associated with three business managers, Barney Chichester, Ben Hamilton, and Gordon Leen, and to them I express my appreciation for the cooperation and kindness they have shown. May I thank the present staff, sincerely, and from the bottom of my heart, for the gift which you presented me last Friday. I felt that I could not thank you enough at our little gathering that night for-—well, I'm feminine and necessarily emotional. To the Northwest Viking readers, I say farewell and introduce you to your new managing editor, Ray Craft. "Step right up, Mr. Craft, take my "doiby"—have a big, black 'seegar'—put your feet up on my desk—look hard-boiled—and go to i t ! " —The EDITOR E D U C A T I O N ' S F U T U RE Dr. Max Mason, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, former president of the University of Chicago and former professor of physics at the University of Wisconsin, has sketched a new picture for future education. The keynote of his predictions was, more physicians and fewer professors in the educational institutions of the future. He states that the professors of the future will let the students do their own learning and have physicians present to see that the students don't study too hard. In his speech at the University of Washington recently, he said, "Students of the future will attend college to obtain certain definite kinds of knowledge to fit them for specific functions in life". "There will be no examinations or quizzes to ascertain whether the student has remembered everything the professor told him to remember -—(A good many of us would have wished for future times this week). "The professor is not a drill master. He should not, like an army sergeant, tell his pupils where to walk and how fast. He ;shpuld inspire their curiosity and hey will learn for hemselves". ^1 S P R I N G H A S S P R U NG In the spring, the young Normal boy's and girls' fancies turn to thoughts of—j—spring vacation. Vacation—after a three-months steady grind interspersed by play-times in form of dances, parties, and entertainments—-is so near. Just a few more hours and for some of us it is, "Home, James"—but for the majority of us it's, "Gotta hurry or I'll miss the southbound freight"! No matter, at any rate we're off to a hard play-time—and not a text book will.wfe open—Begorra! \ H • : •_ ^ y o m PHILO CLUB .

First grade are playing a game, the Second grade learning a poem, • and the Third grade picking out the correct words to fill into blanks. —o— WE ARE PLAYING THE GAME WITH THE FIRST GRADE. We love these funny little people, with their patched trousers, darned stockings and dirty fingernails—and we wonder why we try constantly to change them. —o— Then we turned around aiid found some one copying some one else's work. They come from queer little homes where queer standards, if any, are the foundation of existence. We have met then- poor, narrow-minded parents, and yet we love these children—love these eyes that are great pools of the soiil, where the rain drops and the sun shines with the changing weather of life. AND WHY SHOULD WE CALL THESE PEOPLE QUEER, JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE PECULIAR TO US? We saw black boughs of the willow tree against the moon. We saw them in morning — in the evening —in summer and in fall. —o— They are Fate—the skeleton of what Life really is—what Life is built on. When We get just a little weary along this rocky highway, we get glimpses of willows against the moon. —o— We saw black branches only today. WE RECEIVED AN INVITATION TO THE VIKING PARTY, AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW EXACTLY HOW WE FELT. —o— .And then we said to ourselves: Perhaps we loved those associations because they made us feel important. —o— We had never learned to hate, there in your World of good fellows —and we regret to say that this narrow little world taught us the unruly weeds of hate. AND IT HURTS SO TO HATE! —o— It hurts our pride to hate—and it hurts something away down in our chests that idealists call a heart. —o— Then we fell to wondering if these people who hate so much haven't a hardened callous around their hearts. —o— Or, perhaps they have overlooked those dull, achings of the heart for so many ages that finally the pain and outcrop have been silenced. —o— But we hope hate will never do that much to us. We won't let it! We'll build a wall around our hearts —a wall of sunshine. We'll turn Pollyanna or St. Valentine. Ethics is the biggest problem in leaching, as we see it. if * * Most children have something with which to learn reading, writing and arithmetic— that is, namely, intelligence! gt; gt; * :J But we have found that there are some children who have no standards or ideals on which to base ethical or moral training. It's then that we wonder what to do. * • * * Nothing in our Normal training prepared us for this problem. MABEL NORMAND IS DEAD.

Irish Comedy (W. L.) After two successful performances, the Drama club play "The White-headed Boy" joins the vast and ~^V-^^^ kinJa ser'l0US about much talked of past. Comments , , n auafi„ Makes a have been flying "here and there concerning the event and for a few days the good and bad qualities, personal likes and dislikes, the relative merits of the play, and the work of the actors were topics under discussion. In regard to t h e histrionic ability of the players and the efficiency of the director there has been nothing but praise, yet from various individuals have come dissatisfied remarks referring to the way in which the play ended. This opens the way to discussion. In the first place the play was a comedy and a comedy does not follow convention. To have the "Whiteheaded Boy" thwarted and thrown out on his own, to have each girl's ambition realized, to have Peter placed successfully in business, and to have the fond mother wake up, would probably have been the right and conventional ending so far as the audience was concerned, but there is where the spirit of comedy enters. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 March 21 - Page 3 ---------- WASHTNJTTQN STATC N O R l ^ •\!!M^H^!'VJ gt;Mf-y»V!?/'W«iV!i;''\S Helene Madison, pretty acquatic star of the new Washington Athletic club in Seattle,, returns home Saturday from an extended tour of the South where she captured seven world titles and broke five world records in a period of two weeks. The Seattle business men are planning to give her an ovation which will rival Colonel Lindberg's return from his epochal flight. Too much praise cannot be given Miss Madison as her feats outshad-bw those of Wilson, Carrol, Brix, the championship Washington crews, and any others that have made his? tory for the Northwest sport world. * * * * We are wondering why the state doesnt send North Central, the winner of the state basketball championship of Washington, to Chicago to compete for the national title. Prom all indications they would have more than a good chance for the title. If they deserve it, why hot give it to them? we say. The training school enjoyed an excellent season in basketball this year, losing only to Lowell in the finals. Chuck Fisher and Wick Carver were placed on the all-city grade school team. It has been rumored that Ellens-burg will be without a representative in the Spring sports this year, due to the lack of funds in the athletic treasury. We are mighty sorry to hear that 'cause we felt sure we would even things up by winning the baseball, track and tennis championships.

QUARTERLY BANQUET HELD IN CLUB ROOM Speeches, Introduction of Spring Sports and Announcement at Marionettes Feature Program. The quarterly sports banquet was held last Friday evening in the club room of Eden's hall with Gay Smith as toastmistress. After dinner was served a welcome address was given by Ruth Sammons, president of W A. A.; followed by a short talk by President C. H. Fisher. Winter sport talks were given by their different managers and all-star teams were announced by Miss Margery Horton, who gave out the certificates of star identification. Spring sports, speed ball, baseball, tennis, archery, hiking and swim ming were introduced by Katherin Zeran and announcements of the Marionette show and the informal were made by Marion Marchand. About fifty people were present at the banquet including Miss Orpha McPherson, Miss Lillian George, Miss Ruth Weythman, Miss Margery Horton, President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Ruckmick, and Mr. E. A. Bond. o NORTH CENTRAL WINS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP North Central High, of Spokane, won the Eighth annual State High school basketball touranment, by defeating Walla Walla, 29 to 25, in the final game of the tourney. Sixteen teams competed at Seattle, March 13, 14, 15. The other teams finished as follows: Everett, Ho-quiam, Endicott, Foster, Stadium, and Fair haven. The tourney brought out several good brands of playing', and keen interest was shown by the spectators. It is thought that North Central may be sent back to the National tournament, at Chicago. .. o—:—: Mrs. Margaret Still, a graduate of this school has been assisting in t he extension office during the rush of test week. • _—o — •' FACULTY MEMBERS ON HIKE Five members of the faculty, Dr. Upshall, Dr. Masters, Mr. E.

Pitchers Is Coach Gunn's Biggest Problem for a Real Baseball Team. NO CINCHES FOR BERTHS "If the Vikings had to place a ball club on t he field today, most of the positions would be settled by the toss-up method". So states "Pop" Gunn, who has been putting about 25 aspirants through their paces during the past few weeks. Occie Thorsen has the inside track on first base, Dixon and Bailey look good as outfielders, and Hugh Mc- Clary is showing up well as a backstop. As for the rest of the team, no one knows who will fill the gaps. I n the infield Johnston has. an edge on shortstop, while Eacrett and Iverson are even up at third. Ped-erson, Lindall, and Miller are all out for infield berths and are show* ing good possibilities. Emery and Thompson are out for anything they can get and are liable to bust into the lineup any place. Other infield-ers are Brownlow, Dowell, and Vaughn. Outfielders are less numerous. Besides the lettermen, McCleary, McMeen, and Dave Cole are working for positions. To make things interesting for Thorsen, Hslde, Tew, and Hunnicut are all working for the first sack. Lack of first class pitchers is noticeable on the club. Blankenship and Konopshi are heading the list, with Iverson, Johnston, and Eacrett also taking a turn in the box. One thing is certain.' No one is going to loaf on the job. A hard DROPS LAST GAME Lowell Takes City Championship from Training School in Fast Breaking Game Five to Three. That class of basketball fans that doesn't enjoy a game unless there is scoring and plenty of it, didn't miss anything over at Whatcom last Friday afternoon—but those that love to see a close checking game in which everyone of t he few points are earned, lost a treat by not being there to watch the Normal Training school hoopsters tackle the Lowell grade school casaba-tossers for the city championship. The final score would represent an ideal one for a, baseball game, 5 to 3 in favor of Lowell. Both teams fought hard, and the checking, as t he score indicates, was very close. Each team scored one field goal, the remainder of the points being made via the foul shooting method. The winners had more chances at making free throws, and "there proved- that the victory hinged on the fouls made by t he Normalites. o Pressing a button releases either salt or pepper from a shaker combination that an Indiana man has invented. grind is ahead of the team and only those who want to work will be considered for a position. Anyway, says Gunn, "There is a lot of work to be done before a club can be put on the field. But the will to succeed in there, stronger than ever this year, and.that is what counts. They won't kick our club around this year. Not if we know our baseball. S T A R T I N G S A T U R D AY for only 4 days Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. • Jeannette Loff in TEAMED SIGN DP NEXT QUARTER FOR INTRAMURAL GAMES Aspiring Managers Now Spotting Likely Candidates for Their Teams From Varsity Men. MUCH INTEREST SHOWN "—Four, —five". "All right, next hitter, take five". Coach R. E. (Pop) Gunn grooms his charges out on the Southwest corner of Waldo field. Batting practice, fly chasing, throwing and a little infield practice. Upon being asked to make a statement he said: "We won't take all the lickings. I have never failed yet to put out a good team". While Coach Gunn is looking out for coming material the different clubs and aspiring managers stand on the sidelines, spotting the likely candidates for their intramural teams. At the beginning of next quarter lists will be posted on the bulletin board in the Men's Athletic office, for all clubs and teams who wish to sign up for intramural games. It is expected that there will be about four teams enter the race. The games will be either five or seven-innings, no pitcher will be used for more than four innings and varsity team members will be eligible to play at the discretion of the head coach. In all probability the race will be close competition throughout. 4.,,—», ,. „„ „„ ,„. „„ .„__,0_„,__Bn_14. ,„ mi n» m nu m i — » u — « « — » n — • • £• Spring Vacation Will Seem Dull Without Good Book So Be Sure to Stop in on We Have All the Latest your way home to the Montague-Mc Hugh CIRCULATING LIBRARY "THE PARTY GIRL" - S h e Was a Wow at Making W H O O P E E !

The scene in the mountains with the multi-numbered dwarfs and the keg of snock which Rip drank were effective and the audience was awed with the suddenness of the ghost's appearance on the quietness of the landscape. Characters Displayed Even the audience admitted that Rip must have enjoyed his 20 years sleep, while his return to his home later and t h e meeting of his wife and daughter all were surprizingly real. At t h e end of the show E. A. Searle, himself, came onto the stage, everyone looked around to see if the world was made of dwarfs and giants or were people really natural sized. . There were 21 characters in the show which was made up of two acts and seven scenes. Seven men and women pulled the strings and did the talking for t he characters. There was not a mistake at either of t h e performances in the pulling of t h e strings and the show went through without a mishap. o ' " F A T H E R W I L L I A M" ( U p to Date. Guess Who?) "You are cold, Mr. Blank", the young man said, "And your hair has become very while; And yet, you are younger than any of us— Do you think, at your age, it is right?" "In my youth," Mr. Blank replied to the boy, "I Would hardly have thought that it was, Bui now that I'm old I count it a joy To be younger than once thai I Was." "You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before, And you re not very big, at that, Yet still you are filled with wisdom and lore; Pray, what is the reason of that?" "In my youth," said the sage, adjusting his specs, " / kept my eyes open and asked Questions enough to have slumped a detec— Now quit poking into my past." "You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose That your arm WJJS as strong as ever, Yet you bang with your fist and slam a book closed— now do you keep so remarkably clever?" *7 have answered two questions, and that is enough," Said the teacher, "don I give yourself airs! Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff? Be off, or Til kick you down stairs." -1—With apologies to Lewis Carroll. \ E. B.

The t r i p among the celestial bodies s t a r t e d at 8:30 and by 9:00 everyone was in t h e air. There were stars, both human and celestial (the basket ball t e am didn't leave until Sunday morning, you know) and the moon'as round and friendly as ever and hush! plenty of moonshine—during the moonlight waltz). We thought for a moment that t h e . charming aviatrix who favored us with t h a t feature dance was Kuth Elder but we found put t h a t i t was none other than Naomi Smith. ..The dance was well-in keeping with: the atmosphere of t h e party.

Berg Acquits Himself With Glory. S Returns to Bellingham After Delightful Vacation in the South. Campus Day, on its second annual occurrence, was by all odds the £• most successful event of the school year. The spirit of the students was ?;• excellent, and co-operation between everyone produced a "spick and A span*' Campus. The program of fun beginning with the eight o'clock 5 assembly and lasting through the theater part at the American, was ; -packed with enjoyment for all. | ;; Festivities began with the assembly at 8:00, when the hit of the day ; was made, namely the burlesque given by "Six Glowing Boys", featur- ; i n g the prettiest sets of legs among the male gender. The staff, under ^Generalissimo Berg, was introduced among, various flourishes. After ••general instructions the army was properly equipped and turned loose on the waste arid debris. The picnic' at noon was a caloric as well as a palatable success. Full justice was done all "grub". ; "/ Another assembly at one o'clock : : set everyone for the afternoon -y.'; sports. These took place on Wal- -; do Field and were a "riot" of fun g for all. The ball games between ;; students and faculty for both men and women aroused deep hostilities and the bloody battles were Hard fought, fast and furious. An excellent program of sports contests under the direction of Dorothy Irvin and Miss Keller kept everyone happy all afternoon. Feature attractions included the stupendous bicycle race between faculty members, Mr. Bond proving the betting favorite. Ben Hur's only rivals and equals set the crowd positively "mad" with the daring, killing, and side-splitting Chariot Race. What might be called a Relay Carnival was staged by competing groups of the students, it was at least composed largely of relay .contests and games The winners, although of doubtful ability and deservance, were awarded balloons with squawkers that certainly squawked. An evening with Reginald Denny and various varieties of student foolishness provided the grand climax at the American Theater. Romeo and Juliet heart-rendingly re-enacted the fetching balcony scene and brought the house into tears, tiers upon tiers of laughter. The embryo tragedians were great stuff, as comedians. There were various sundry and "Sundstrom" rumors that Campus Day officially at least, began during the wee small hours of the night before. Both class presidents were able to be about on Campus Day, so it has been assumed that no serious casualties were entailed. BERG REFEREES Mr. TJerg was referee of a Boy Scout encampment at Woodland Park in Seattle the past week-end. Demonstration of a complete camp.equipment was given. On Saturday, the boys participated in a Field Day. Two thousand scouts attended the meet. E E AREJNNOUNCED Successful Contestants Will Meet Last Quarter's Winners Assembly May 20. M OFFERED Course Will Be Supplemented by Field Trips to Places for Good Composition. Miss Crawford Now Recovering From Illness in Sanitarium Pupils and teachers in the training school were very glad to see Miss Crawford back last week after an absence of several weeks. She found however, that she was not strong enough yet to take over her old duties, so is now recuperating in Rest Haven Sanitarium, Sj'dney, B. 0. Mrs. Whitmore is taking Miss Crawford's place for the rest of this quarter. o Miss Edens Has Written Another Successful Story . Miss Edens is the author of a story, "Heart and Hand," appearing f in the June McCall's Magazine. Reviewing the contents of the current ; issue, the publishers comment as foll o w s : ; ; " I n addition to short stories by :; such well-known authors as Fannie ;rHea!slip Lea, Frank E. Vemey, Vir- Sginia B. Reynolds, and Olive "Edens," jthe June issue will contain (etc)." ; lt; ;"Heart and Hand" is a story of v-theiWest, in fact, it centers in Ana- 'cortes, on Puget Sound. Miss Edens oJsaid: "Every story "which I have 8^;5,K ?«: sold has as its background the Puget |fgf| ;3p^Sound region. 'Rhododendrons,' a ^ ^ | | l | s t o r y of the Cypress Islands, has re- ^ ^ ® ^ c e n t l y ; been accepted by a syndicate." ^ ^ g l p ^ ^ ^ t r o p o l i t a n , .Pictorial .Review,;' and Miss Rich returned Monday morning from a delightful vacation in California. She says that is was pleasant from a recreational and a professional point of view. She met a number of friends with whom she had worked at the School of Education, University of Chicago, who are now on the faculty of the U. of California at Berkeley. She attended the Mission play with them, at San Gabriel. ' There were friends and interesting experiences at every stop. Miss Rich visited the appointment bureaus at the University of California, at Los Angeles, and Stanford, gathering ideas which will tend toward making the work of the bureau here of greatest use to the students. Miss Rich says that California is a delightful place to play in, but she would rather work in Bellingham. She has come back convinced that we have something to do here, and that what we are tiying to do follows the best lines of philosophy and science of education. The course in photography, which was given for the first time last summer, will be offered again this summer quarter. The course is a two period a week laboratory course designed mainly for the study of photography from the standpoint of the amateur and will take in all phases of photographic work. Two credits will be given for the course. The fee will be about one dollar and a quarter which will cover the cost of material used. Mr. Ruckmick plans to divide the class into groups and each group will work out a certain phase of work in the photographic line which will be amplified by supplementary reading material. There will be a few field trips to places which will be good composition for landscape photography. All of the possibilities of the surrounding district that will lend themselves to amateur photography .will be- used. The training school shop has been equipped with a new enlarging machine, also a new automatic printer. Students will get experience in making enlargements and a few lessons on the way in which the printing of photographs is accomplished. They will also study the making of sepia-tones on photographs and the use and compounding of developing solutions such. as might be done at home by amateurs. The victors in extempore preliminaries held Tuesday evening, were as folloAvs: June Wetherell, Grace Jac-obson, Borghild Jensen, August Zoet, Edward Dingerson, and Leonard Kep-pler. Their topics were: "The Nation's Chief Asset," "The Nation's First Citizen," "The Greatest Living American." Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Ullin, Miss Spieseke, Mr. iKibbe, and Miss Madden judged the contest. The six speakers will compete in today's assembly. Three topics will be conservative; three radical. From this group, three will be eliminated, and three will compete with the winners of last quarter's extempore contest in assembly, May 20. NOTICE—RECITAL Miss Byrd Elliott, violinist; Miss May Taylor, contralto; will appear in recital at the Garden St. M. E. church on Tuesday evening, May 24, 8:15 o'clock. The program is given in aid of St. Paul's Church Benefit Fund.

Beethoven's well-known Moonlight Sonata was delivered in a most artistic manner displaying exquisite harmony, modulation, masterfulenss and vivaciousness in swift movements. Mi-. Perine's selections of the extreme classical type were presented with all the powerfulness or softness with which they were written. Especially was Debussy's Prelude filled with an enchanting and artistic melodiousness. The Etude of St. Saen was also interpreted in an intriguing spirit. o ; "U" JOURNALISTS EDIT SEATLE STAR A DAY :ww-v-vvvv.vvvvv%vv«v (Monitor The Journalism, class at the University of Washington stepped out of their class last week and edited the Saturday editions of the Seattle Star.

A charming outdoor play, which was worked out by the children in the fourth and fifth grades, was given on the far side of the knoll at nine o'clock this morning. The play, called "Forest Wonders", was taken from the Italian folk play, "Forest Spring/ 'by Constance D'Arcy Mackay. In the action of the play the children picked out the poems, songs and dances which they had enjoyed and which fitted best with the scenes in the forest, with the trees, grasses, birds, flowers, mountains and moon. The dances were tation exercises that they have had had in their gymnasium work. The play opens with the entrance of three children who have come to the forest to gather flowers. Two of them go on, but the other stays and sees the wonders of the forest. The complete program is as follows: Enter; Amata, Giovanni, Fiam-ma,- gathering flowers. Enter, the Spirit of the Wood.

Cecelie MacDonald Shirley Blake Nelson Robinson Leslie Brown " The Spring Supplement number of the W e e k l y Messenger is now in your hands. We hope you will like it. This special number is published not so much for the Normal students as it is for high school seniors throughout the Northwest who might be interested in coming here. M a r y Hibner, special supplement editor,.deserves much praise for Ker efforts in making this y e a r ' s issue a success. She gave unstintingly of. h e r time a n d efforts to place a first class paper in our hands. We believe s h e , h a s succeeded. •ft. Miss Hibner has been ably assisted by Theo. Norby, regular sports editor. The spirit manifested by these two students has meant much to the other members of the journalism classes. A recent canvas among students of our course in Civilization brought out the s t a r t l i n g fact t h a t less than n per cent are keeping abreast of theHhnes, less t h a n ten per cent are keeping-viri touch with the major topics o f \ t h e clay. This .condition, if present in all schools of higher alarming one, and education, is an a complete diagnosis of our curriculum should be made with the view of adopting corrective measures. "Time to kill but not one minute for current problems" could very well be applied to a majority of the students of this and other schools. There is time for loafing in t h e halls, t h e r e are spare minutes for horseshoes or tennis, there is ample time for strolls here and there, but there i s not a minute t o give toward intelligent citizenship. Descendents of Ichabod Crane fail dismally when they endeavor to dis? cuss political and industrial problems on a common level with the business and professional man. We claim' t h a t teaching is a profession, but, down deep in our hearts, we know t h a t very few of us undergo the preparation that warrants the t e rm applied to our chosen work. Indeed, we like the word profession and use it cjuite freely, although conscious all the time t h a t we are falling short in our preparation. There is no time like the present t o get started in this matter of keeping abreast of the times. Magazines and papers are crying for your patronage. The Presidential campaign will soon be in full swing. Thousands of coal miners out of work, on strike, are pushing their cause through the periodicals. Delicate foreign affairs in China, Nicaragua, and Mexico are thrashed out in the papers. The library with its scores of weekly and monthly magazines, is a regular gold mine of worthwhile contemporary information.

I n "Elmer Gantry," Sinclair Lewis has again driven his probing pen int o one of society's sore spots. He has snatched the mantle of traditional spiritual authority and omniscience from the shoulders of the conventional American divine and" vivisected the decidedly human being t h a t it shrouded. He shows us the other side of the stage and the strings t h a t move the puppets. Lewis is a realist, and is apt to be a bit indigestible to one who suddenly forsakes his diet of Zane Grey, Cm wood, Pollyanna piffle or Elinor Glynish sob-stuff, perhaps and probably more than a little irritating. But despite this, Lewis is well worth the effort it may require to read him: "Elmer Gantry" contains food for some very pertinent thinking. fWWVWWWWWVWWVWWWWWWVW Student Opinion VVV^tfVVVVtf^LW^AVy%V^%SVVVLV%V^flA%VW'.Vl^AV^A^A/ f w P Notebooks and Outlines ;fP; •; - : "Oh, Hello there!

What is a carnival except a crass explanation? Granted t h a t it has a certain a t t r a c t i o n by its very novelty. But, aside from this its compensations are few and small. Its tents and side shows are grotesque and barbaric. And, where is the romance of doubtful hot clogs and a hundred vile stenches? But it draws its quota of pleasure seekers, who eagerly catch at a few crumbs of artificial bliss. After all is said and done, isn't this just one more drug t h a t serves to keep the illusion of life from crumbling? I n a satirical article in the May munber of the American Mercury, a Mr. Gillespie deplores the fact that colleges confer degrees in subjects t h a t really are so much ballast. He says t h a t the Bellingham Parish Junior High School is offering a course in the a r t of automobile dodging. We wonder what Mr. Gillespie would t h i n k on hearing Gunnar Berg's lament that no Doctor Degrees follow Boy Scout training. An editorial of last week takes space with the subject of "petting." "To pet or not to pet," t h a t is their question. Is this a question? Aside from promiscuity, can it not rather be termed a biological necessity? If you would be proper and understood, don't call it petting, or m u g g i n g - call it love! Friends are people Avhose peculiarities are identical with your own. After all, the human race is p r e t ty good considering what it came up from. Perhaps the greatest discovery of 1927 is t h a t angels have no business except in heaven. ^JjMi^ti-]^^^ mere ^Im^i^i^ta^ijiii^eA fftftilfft students ^ m s s a "" ••••-••-• •- - are interested in any subject they'll t a k e notes of their own accord and will outline any number of pages. If t h e instructors aren't original enough t o think up new subjects for notebooks and books t o outline why must t h e students waste valuable time in t r y i n g t o collect material for a notebook when some one else already has t h e material compiled and ready for use? Why should students have to make detailed outlines on subjects when these outlines may be purchased very cheaply and are more complete? This business of outlining and of making notebooks should be done done away with and the students should .have the right t o decide what subjects they wish to make notebooks on and outlines for. If this could be practiced for awhile we'd .find out what we really want t o keep for future reference and our school life wouldn't be one grand rush from morning until night, trying to get a number of chapters copied for a certain class or in compiling a notebook t h a t has t o have so much and •no more in it t o please some teacher. — —-o— Many students were very much disgusted with the article t h a t appeared on our editorial page last week. The subject of p e t t i n g is not discussed in the higher class college papers any more as it has been discussed pro and con for years and people will not change their opinions on t h e matter no matter how much is said either for or against. Why should such a cheap article be given as much space, and space on t h e editorial page a t t h a t , when there are so many things to write about t h a t are of interest to the students as a whole? : Just such an article, with almost identical wording ; w i l l be foundSin any cheap magazine t h at a s ;Iow T ^ jt-ft ft gt;: Ourft iNorinai;;--:?

Today is the first day of the Fifth annual meeting of the tree Normal teams in track, baseball and tennis. I t is the custom of the schools to be hosts to the other's teams every third year so it now comes the Viking's turn to extend the welcoming hand to Cheney and Ellensburg. The .first annual meeting was held in 1923 at Ellensburg, with the Vikings coming out as victors in track. Due to an agreement, the next two meets were held here at Bellingham with another victory scored by the Vikings in 1924. In '25 the victory went to the visiting Red Skins from Cheney. Last vyear the meet was held at Cheney and after a close competition Bellingham emerged the victor again. During these past five years a set of records has been set up. Of the fourteen records, Bellingham holds five; .'..-".••.,•.'. The records are as follows: Mile run—Reed, C, 4:42.2. Shot put—Large, B., 40»6.%". iOO-yard dash—-Fogarty, E, 10.4.

"ZEKE" IGNITES FUSE Don Patterson, curve ball artist, set the Wild Cats down Saturday morning S-2. Don's slants and hooks were way too good for the batsmen who faced him. Nine putouts were accredited via the strike-out route. "Zeke" McClurken, classy third baseman, started the fireworks in the third inning with a single, Stick - ney sacrificed him to second, and he scored on a double by Odell. The Vikings were hitting Mr. Haker, opposing pitcher, hard, but his support tightened at the crucical moment to save him trouble in the first part of the game. A base on balls, two stolen bases, and two singles counted for two more runs in the fifth. In the meantime the best that Ellensburg could do was to get thre hits off the stingy Patterson in six innings. The eighth and ninth innings proved disastrous for the Wild Cats. Cooper singled and Wingard hit his second home run in as many days, to score him. " In the' ninth inning "Zeke" caught hold of a fast one and poked the ball into the next lot for a home run, scoring two runs ahead of him. Jack Connars, fast outfielder for the opponents, hit a home run to count for Ellensburg's two tallies.

EDDIE HURLS FAST BALL Eighh Inning Wingard Hits Homer Odell Follows Example in Ninth Inning With Eddie Wingard on the hilltop pitching wonderful ball and receiving wonderful support, the Vikings triumphed over 'the Ellensburg Wildcats last Friday afternoon 5-4 in 10 innings. Ed had his fast ball hopping all ways ^averaging a strikeout an inning. In the third inning "Zeke" McClurken doubled to left, stole third, and went home on a wild pitch, for the first score. In the next inning Ellensburg started the fireworks with a single. The next man up sacrificed. A fielder's choice and an argument scored two runs for the Wildcats. In the next inning a double and an error scored for Bellingham to even the count. In the eighth Wingard put one outside the park for a home run and Odell repeated in the next inning for two more tallies. In the last half of the ninth the first Wildcat man up walked, Rubles, the next man up, and at the most inopportune time, hit the first pitched ball over the left field fence for a home run and tied the score. Thor's descendants seemed a little-peeved over the way they had been treated and proceeded to gather a couple of bingles and a walk in the next frame, scoring one run to win the game.

'•; '"But look at the rust!" exclaimed one Philo, who insisted on sticking yfco mores and pointed sticks for roasting weenies. "JTice, red-brown rust," replied Mr. Ruckmick, stroking the now hot-dog's side fondly. "HaveVyou had your iron today ?" To say they appreciated the meal is putting it very mildly, even if tea-hounds like Emmeline Moss and Sverre Arestad did insist on that beverage in place of coffee. Who wouldn't eat, after an exciting baseball game between Beighle's team and Ruckmick's, not to mention a treasure hunt, in which Maurice Thompson captured the. box of all-day suckers, which were all promptly seized by the infuriated mob at his heels. Mr. Ruckmick almost tossed Phil Sisk into Lake Samish, after the bold young gentleman had besmeared Vera Ginnette's face with charcoal till she looked like a minstrel show. A free-for-all charcoal fight then ensued, after which they visited the lake and rubbed each others faces vigorously with wet handkerchiefs. Thelma Butler and Vera Ginnette are ready to testify to the warmth of the lake waters, having done the noble deed of dipping for a real swim, while the would-be-sharpshooters among the fairer sex pointed away carefully at a Mississippi Relief fund badge with Alice Ling-ley's rifle. Planned or not, singing around a campfire inevitably happens at any picnic. The variety of songs was astounding, extending from the old favorite of "John Brown's Body" to the latest song hits. All that any Philo could add would be to say—"it was a darn good picnic," and "thanks" to Sverre Arestad, who ran.his trusty automobile out and in on so many trips, and insured transportation to most df the club members.

W. C. A. meeting, last Wednesday. When the foreigners, as all English and Americans are called, received word that the soldiers were coming, the women and children were put on the American and British gunboats. While they were on these boats it was necessary for them to fire into' the city to protect the American consular party, whose home was surrounded. While this was going on the party, consisting of twenty-two foreigners, fled over the wall. When the Southern soldiers had driven out the Northerners the missionaries hoped to be able to return to the city but intead of helping, as they hoped, the soldiers began looting their homes. They took out everything, including the windows and doors. After the soldiers had taken what they wanted they forced the mob to come and finish devastating the homes. The people of the city were kind to the foreigners and helped them as much as they could. The servants of the missionaries would hide them as soon as they heard the soldiers were coming. They supplied them with Chinese clothes and disguised them until their friends hardly knew them. Miss Whipple's brother and sister did not leave .the city until several days later. Only one American missionary, Dr. Williams, was killed. All of the rest reached Shanghai safely. From fear of the threats of the American government that they must be allowed to come out safely, the Chinese officials allowed them to leave. The missionaries and teachers are hoping that they may soon be able to return, until then native Chinese teachers are trying to carry on the work in some of the schools. The University has been completely destroyed, WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB AND SYDNEY DIXON APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY Mr. Harrison Raymond conducted the Bellingham Women's Music club chorus in an entertaining program in the assembly Tuesday. After a group of songs by the chorus, Sydney Lawrence Dixon was enthusiastically received with his pleasing tenor voice. His two encores "Whip-poor-will" and "Little Mother of Mine," were equally appreciated. The audience was greeted with something new in the presentation of a "Fantasy on a Russian Folk Song," where the alternate mingling of the Chorus, piano and violin played by John Roy Williams, evolved a pleasing uniqueness. As a conclusion, a group of entertaining songs was presented by Mr. Dixon. — —o The Sophomore Class will sell hot clogs, ice cream, bars, and other tempting delicacies during the baseball game and Tri-Norinal meet. Bring "two-bits" and enjoy these luxuries. "W. A. A. Would Be Warblers," will have an opportunity to express their musical thoughts in the form of a W. A. A. Song. A special incentive is a trophy cup to be given to, the best song which will be sung at the Sport's luncheon, June 4. No organization is complete without a club song. Let's go! AT LAKE SAMISH Club Holds Quarterly Function Friday Evening at Resort. Last Friday the Thespian Club, boasting. of a perfect attendance, journeyed to Lake Samish to hold their quarterly picnic. With climatic conditions ideal and Thespian spirit rampant, the affair was easily the outstanding club event of the quarter. Swimming, baseball and horseshoes amused the club members until Miss Kinsman, popular Thespian sponsor, gave the call for "Eats." An informal program around the bonfire brought the happy party to an end. Graceful Violet Green Swallow on the Campus For grace and beauty when flying no bird on our campus compares with the Violet-green Swallow. He is a past master at flying, no angle being so sharp, no descent so rapid but that he can accomplish the act swiftly and gracefully. This beautiful creature is easily recognized by his pure white chin, breast and belly, his rich velvety bronze-green back and his dark, violet wings and tail. He is almost continually flying stopping only for short intervals on some wire or fence to twitter out his chattering song. The Violet-greens made their first appearance on our campus about April 2. They are a summer resident here and will be with us until next fall. Before the advent of white man upon Puget Sound, these birds commonly nested in deserted woodpecker holes and in natural cavities in trees. . Since the coming of man they have forsaken their ancient haunts and now occupy bird-boxes and crannies of buildings. The nest is made of dried grasses, with or without feathers. From four to six pure white eggs are laid. The song of this SwalloAV consists of twittering and creaking notes, as does that of the Barn Swallow. The twitterings are easily recognized and it is not difficult to tell this bird by his song. New birds to be seen on the campus during the last week are: Barn Swallow—May 12. Russett-backed Thrush—May 14. Pine Siskin—May 15. : o LOWERY HOUSE NOTES Dorothy Stearns, Gladys Brown and Elma Mustoner spent the last week-end a t home in Mt. Vernon.

XXIX—NO. 43 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, May 23, 1930 Tri-Normal Meet Tomorrow -*• Normalite TEACHER'S TASK BERTRAND RUSSELL CYNICAL YOUTH TRUTH —ARDEN BENTHIEN We are sorry to tell you that the illness of Bob Walters, the regular writer of this column,' makes it impossible for him to write it this week. 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.

AND NEXT WEEK ANOTHER DEPARTMENT WILL BE INTERVIEWED . CONCERNING OUTSTANDING WRITINGS. W. S. N. S.- A SUGGESTION Miniature Leagues of Nations have been organized in the student groups interested in international relations all the way from Mount Holyoke Collge in Massachusetts to the University of Hawaii... Working sessions of these model "Leagues" have proved to be a great help to the teaching of international procedure by the results of greater satisfaction on the part of the student when he finds himself in the position of a delegate in a multi-national assembly of lawmakers This should be a stimulus to those interested in this sort of thing in the Normal. We have the students here who are interested; all we need is the spark of organization. W. S. N. S. "The ability to sell oneself social-lly and in business is the one outstanding benfit that a student can derive from participation in extracurricular activities. The necessity to mix well with other students in activities in order to accomplish anything in campus affairs is excellent discipline. If I train myself to be an efficient committeeman in a class or student body committee, I train myself to be efficent in service work when I become a citizen of my city, state and nation." —U. of W. Daily. W. S. N. S. Fish Well Received in Picture-Talk on Jungle Experiences "Experiences Near a Jungle Laboratory" was the topic of the illustrated lecture delivered in assembly Friday, April 12, by Professor Harold D. Fish, of the University of Michigan. The jungle laboratory is located at Kartabo, British Guiana. In giving his audience an idea of the surrounding country Professor Fish mentioned the fact that a completely unexplored region exists approximately 2000 miles from New York City. He also emphasized the fact that the Amazon region was the pioneer country of the future and that our descendants would emigrate to South America as our forefathers emigrated to North America. Humorous Vein A humorous vein followed the serious subject matter of the lecture in which he showed appreciation for student life in his brief narrative of his own college career. The pictures accompanying the lecture were unusually interesting. Some of them were made at great expense, owing to the fact that the development of the color films must be done in water at a temperature below that possible in this tropical climate, and in order to do this ice had to be imported to the laboratory from the coast. o DR.

Wood, superintendent of Music in the schools of Oakland, California. Due to his contract with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, Karl Krueger, director of the Seattle Symphony was unable to assume his duties as conductor of this splendid orchestra, which met for the first time on Tuesday of last week and was presented in concert Thursday, April 11, a t the Armory in Spokane, after three days of practice together. Four students from Bellingham high schools were members of this orchestra They were Alys Braun and Arlene Neher violinists, Geneva Erholm, flutist, and Clinton Cramer trumpeter. o—— Instructors Attend Seattle Convention Dean James Bever, Mr. Arthur Kolstad, and Miss Olive Gunderson left last Tuesday to attend the seventeenth annual session of the American Association of College Registrars held in Seattle. President C. H. Fisher is attending the meetings on Thursday and Friday. These last two days are devoted to the reorganization of the first two years of college work. The speakers include some of the most noted specialists on junior colleges in the United States. The meetings are being held at the Olympic Hotel and the University of Washington. The special sessions include a boat trip on Lake Washington and several luncheons and banquets. The meeting will close today with the election of officers. o—'-—'• Ford Attends Dealers- lt; Meet in San Francisco "The Pacific and World Peace," was the keynote of the address delivered by Dr. Frank Milner, of New Zealand, in a special assembly last Tuesday. Dr Frank Milner took a prominent part in the proceedings of the educational meeting at Vancouver, B. C. Dr. Milner, in opening his address, stated that he brought "a message of fraternal greeting to fellow countries bordering on the Pacific." Dr. Milner was born and educated in New Zealand, one of the five dominions of Great Britain which was acquired by England in 1840, and now has a homogeneous population of English speaking people. Dr. Milner spoke concerning the bugaboo of a war on the Pacific. He stated that the situations of "yellow peril", immigration, population pressure and military preparations for territorial aggrandizement were the results of "journalistic imagination" and were not based on fact. Dr. Milner said that he was greatly inspired by his contacts with Dr. David Starr Jordan, one of the foremost educational workers in this country. Under his inspiration and the ideals advanced while in attendance at a convention at Hawaii he has successfully developed the junior high school system in New Zealand Would Abolish War Dr. Milner spoke on the awful-ness of war, its wanton waste of human life and destruction of property. He stated, "The modern weapons of war are a gross perversion of applied science." The next war is rendered an impossibility by the advance of science. In summing up his address he said that we must direct the education of the youth of today in such a manner that the thought of entering into war will be foreign to their nature. Dr. Milner was greatly applauded by an enthusiastic audience. He had an immense vocabulary at his command which easily displayed his broad knowledge of international affairs. His commanding personality and ready wit immediately won the attention of all. o ALL-GIRLS' DANCE Petitions for the Women's League spring informal were posted on the main bulletin board Wednesday and the first one hundred and ten girls signing will be permitted to attend. The list will be taken down today at four o'clock and all girls planning to go should sign up before that time. Catherine Morse, social chairman of the Women's League, has plans well under way for the "Dance of Dreams' which is the theme of the quarterly informal to be given May 3. "The decorations will be like a beautiful dream, billowy—depictive of growing things," said Miss Morse. Committees Appointed Chairmen of the various committees for the dance are: Katherine Friese, invitations and faculty programs; Katherine Korthauer, refreshments; Ouida Davidson, decorations; Katherine Rood, programs. President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. V. H. Hoppe, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Marquis, Miss Kathleen Skalley, Miss Adele M. Jones, Miss Hilda Ro sene, and Mr. Arthur Kolstad are the patrons and patronesses of the dance. o BAUGHMAN CHANGES PLAN OF PHARMACY E TO BE HELD Two Individuals Will be Picked to Compete in Assembly April 26, with Winners of Former Contests.

And are you just aching to express that opinion? Here is the outlet for your wish of expression. There are items in every quarter when each student meets with topics that cause much comment within a group, and, after a satisfactory discussion, he feels that he has reached a definite and intelligent opinion concerning the subject of the controversy. When these conclusions are reached, you can find an outlet for your beliefs in the Viking. Worth while student opinions are always welcomed as material for publication. As Emerson said, "Speak your latent conviction and it shall be the universal sense." No matter how adversely critical your opinions may be, please remember, your views will be respected but, by all means, show that you have the courage of your convictions by signing your name to all contributions. After this issue anonymous and fictitious initialed communications will have no value and will be simply relegated to the waste basket. T O T H E L I T T L E S Y M P H O NY The Bellingham Little Symphony Orchestra, still less than a year old, but already developing the characteristics of real symphony orchestra, concluded its first orchestral season, last Tuesday. Mr. Harold B. Smith deserves an unlimited amount of praise, as well as those who made up the orchestra. We, of the Bellingham Normal, are especially proud of this organization as it affords a delightful means of displaying the enviable talent of the musicians picked from the student body, as well as that of the young people of the city. The concert which we heard last Tuesday, as well as the former recitals warranted much favorable criticism, and we hope that the Little Symphony will continue, and become a permanent institution of Bellingham. COLLEGE T R A I N I NG In an address to college students, President M. Lyle Spenser of the .University of Washington urged them to "get rid of the inexcusable conceit which characterizes many college students in their relations with those who may not have had those advantages", adding that many of our great men were not college graduates at all. We like' President Spencer's speech. It is so typical of the democratic West, and we believe we can truthfully boast that as we send our own graduates on to instituions of higher learning, there will not be one among them who will be guilty of such petty mannerisms. In spite of the fact that many great men were not college graduates, we intend, nevertheless, to attend school as long as it is possible to do so. We feel the "those great men" would have been great in any circumstances, perhaps if they had had the education they longed for, they would have been, if possible, greater—Who knows? In the current issue of the Sci-. entific Monthly there is an interesting article by Dr. Albert W. Herre, who for several years was professor of biology and hygiene at Bellingham Normal. The Sibutu Islands, the southernmost islands of the Philippine group, are the subject of Dr. Herre's article. He gives a very clear description of the life of the inhabitants, also of the geo-grapic conditions and biological life of the islands. Several good illustrations showing native life and customs give the article a live interest. Professor Herre left Bellingham Normal in 1920 to take a position as director of the department of fisheries of the Philippine Bureau of Science, which position he held until 1928, when he returned to the United States to become curator of the Zoological Museum at Stanford University. He has done a great deal during his stay hi the Philippines to increase the supply of available data on the isolated islands of the Philippine group and the Sulu Sea. The Sibutu Islands, discussed in this article, are a group of small islands whose peoples racially and geographically belong to - Borneo but politically to the Philippines. They are far from the lanes of travel and therefore unique and very interesting. Dr. Herre is now a member of an expedition which will spend two years in the South Seas collecting zoological data and specimens for the museum. At the present time the expedition is at Java. o THE LIBRARY LIGHT wwwwwwwwtnwwrfwwwwwfvwtf^^wflfwwi Student Opinion VMV^AVMF^^^i^^^J^FMVJVAr^MV^^^^JV^^^MV^^^ A M B I T I ON "Hitch your wagon to a star" Oft times we have been told; Even though to us it looks too far, The path might be pure gold. We may not see the journey's end-1— Mishaps will come to each, But just the job of hitching, friend, Is bound to make you reach! N A T I O N A L H U M A N E W E EK We are nearing the end of "Humane Week"—While most of us are naturally kind to unfortunates, whether human or animal, it is a good thing for everyone to be jogged up a bit now and then, and that is what this week, with its humane posters its humorous or pathetic antedotes and publicity, does for us. There is something unspeakably fine in the child or man who pauses in his hurry to comfort some helpless creature. The world still remembers the policeman who held up traffic while a mother cat moved her kittens across the street. And while this man or any of us would not do a deed just for the reward of having the world's approbation, nevertheless there is no doubt that, even as we do an act of mercy our own lives are gladdened accordingly. Sitting at night In the library room— Pondering over A book of gloom— / Wonder about The library light— How is it that ICs so darn bright! I envy it! I do not know:— And this is why I wonder so,— How is it that It is so bright— When it goes out On every night! J O H N FINNEGAN o Dorothy Sollie, president of the W. A. A., Mary Beth Parkhurst, and Miss Helen Dozier represented the Bellingham Normal last Thursday and Friday at the Western Sectional Conference of the Athletic Conference of American College Women, held in Seattle. Nearly sixty official delegates from thirty-two colleges met to discuss problems of interest in women's athletics. Thursday night the delegates were entertained at dinner at the Via Fontana dining room at the Wilsonian. The musical program was given by the University girls. Later in the evening the orchestra, dancing group presented a recital at a reception in the dance studio of the gym. Perfect Hostesses The U. of W. girls were perfect hostesses to all, meeting the delegates at the train and entertaining in every way possible. A luncheon on the Campfire Ship and a two hour motor rtip were given by the Women's "W" club They enjoyed a luncheon at the Inglewood Country club. Alpha Chi Omega housed the delegates serving them breakfast and luncheon. o - EL NIDO i Viola Scovel and Anne Kaller-son spent the week-end at their homes in Arlington and Lake Stevens. Esther Dow visited in Ferndale Sunday. Irene Sargent visited over the week-end with friends in Bellingham. Nanda Brooks and Mary Miller were guests of Erma Burgen and Florence Elliott at a bridge luncheon Sunday evening. Theoretically, we Americans are a hurry-scurry' lot—never have leisure and utilize every moment for productive work I wonder sometimes, as I sit in the library during a study period and note the time which students allot themselves for the journey from the library to the classroom. Promptly at 18 minutes to the hour the exodus begins. At 16 and 17 minutes to, the traffic is at its height and then dwindles. Only a few daring souls remain in the library till ten minutes of the hour (the time at which classes are dismissed). Now, three minutes will take a person from the library to the Art Department, and less time is required for most 'trips from library to class. Allowing three minutes as average time, and assuming the student leaves the library at 18 minutes to the hour, fifteen minutes have been wasted. Fifteen minutes will give a student time to study five pages, to read 10 pages, or to skim from 20 to 50 pages, depending upon the intensity of work required. But, however much time it takes a person to read 10 pages, fifteen minutes is a quarter of an hour, and the student who leaves the library at 18 minutes to the hour loses one-fourth of his study period. Strange to say, the same student that leaves the library at 18 minutes before class, rarely arrives in the classroom till he has spent the last possible moment in the main halls. It is a safe assumption that if we were allowed only three or five minutes between classes there ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 April 19 - Page 3 ---------- ^§'91 ^!%S;; ^iv^ '.'•;^.!'^;V!j:5.'^!it VtkiJa:^W#0t':Kag:e TENNIS TOURNAMENT MATCHES ARE BEGUN Adverse .Weather Conditions Have Hindered Players but Games So Far Show Promise of Real Speed. With adverse weather conditions holding "reign", snow, ice, wind, or what have you, the tennis wielders have been!having the time of their lives trying to get into condition. • Few matches have been played, but decided changes have taken place in the ladder tournament. Art Cram, by .defeating Glen Fairbanks, went into the third position. The scores for the match were 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. Cram, after losing the first' set settled down and finally won the following sets to take the match. Prendergast' defeated Spring-steel in straight sets, 6-0, 6-1, and this wiri moved him into second place. "Jimmy" had little trouble and showed a good brand of tennis. Sid Thai moved up into fifth place by a decisive win over Glen Fairbanks; the scores were 6-0, 6-2. Both Thai and Fairbanks were "off color," missing many volleys and "kills" at the net. Sid has been slow in getting into form and his play although ragged is improving. A few days of concentrated playing and more sunshine is what the boys need very badly. Ladder for Week In the other match played this week, Church defeated Parker 6-2, 6-2, in a rather spirited contest. The ladder for this week is as follows: Ludwig, Prendergast, Cram, Springsteel, Thai, Command, Fairbanks, Leen, Cox, Keplinger, Legoe, Church, Parker, Hermsen, and Er-ickson. Challenges for this week will be played off as sdon as the weather permits. Parker has challenged Legoe Church vs. Keplinger, Cram vs. Ludwig, Erickson vs. the loser of the Parker-Legoe match, and Thai vs. loser of Cram-Ludwig match. W HAMS HACKS and HEEZES by CHARLIE HORSE S€N SAYS CARVE Coach in a Pessimistic Mood on Eve of Inter-Class Meet; Frosh Are Given Edge Over Veterans. Despite the enthusiasm track candidates showed in response to the announcement of the inter-class meet to be held Thursday and Friday of this week, Coach Carver was very pessimistic concerning the season's prospects. "Tell the Dear Public that I am ashamed to enter this year's team in their scheduled meets. They will be totally out of the running against such teams as the U. of W. Frosh." Mr. Carver went on further to say that no new material showed signs of developing and that this year's team would probably be made up of last year's veterans with very few additions from the new men on the squad. The coach's dark predictions were not held by the class captain, Howell, for the sophomore and Brink-man for the Frosh, as they have at least two candidates for each event on their respective teams. Captain Howell was especially optimistic when he learned that Axelson, member of last year's relay team, had run the veteran Hemmi a dead • heat in the hundred yard dash during a recent practice. The time given, ten and two-fifths seconds, is fairly fast. Frosh Slated to Win The- Freshmen depend upon winning in the longer runs and rolling up enough points in the field events to bring them out ahead. Brinkman is a fair bet in the two mile and will probably put up a good race in the half. Other candidates that may show up in scoring for the Frosh are Egan and Cole in the runs, and Gaither, Bay and Grave-rock in the field events. Besides the '"Iron Man" Axel-son, who is entered in six of the events, the Sophomores have Ham-ilotri and Howell in the sprints and runs, while Jewell, Johnston and Wanamaker are enterd in the weights; Clark, Oberlatz, and Chichester are others entered that may spring surprises. The events open Thursday at 4 p. m. The meet is extended over the two days in order that each man may compete in four instead of the usual two events. March weather still persisted at the opening of this Week. x One author has written "If Winter Comes.".. It is our opinion that this author never lived in Belling-ham, where the favorite expression is, "If Summer Comes". Normal Vikings thought that the winter was here to stay, and that we would never have a summer, when the game last Saturday had to be postponed on account of the wet grounds and the rain that deluged the field. Thus did Jupe Pluuius halt the first game of the Viking ball season. "Keep your eye on the ball", is a favorite saying of baseball men, but we challenge anyone to follow the flight of the old apple after Johnny Dixon smacks it on the kisser. The Vikings are going to make it hot for anyone opposing them on the mound, for there are plenty of them who can lay the willow to the horsehide in real Babe Ruth fashion Dixon, Clarke, Odell, Bailey, Thorsen, and others, make the ball fairly sizzle. It is going to he hard on the U. of W. chuckers when the Norsemen face them tomorrow in Seattle. Our sympathy is all for the poor fellow who has the nerve to face the Viking battering rams... They will need it. Varsity track candidates are working hard to get in shape for the first meet. Also others are doing their best to make a showing in the interclass meet that is being held this week. Spring tennis tournament is Well under Way. Several of last year's men are listed and are furnishing plenty of Work for the others that are new in school. A real battle looms as the rac-queteers loosen up their arms and swing into competition for varsity team positions. BIOGRAPHY Another of the Blue W winners is Johnny Dixon, who won his sweater in the winter quarter just passed. Johnny played center on the Viking basketball team, and made some stiff competition for the • opposing centers He is best known to his friends and team mates as "Flash". Though sometimes he is known as the "Killer", so called because of his way with the feminine group of the institution. Johnny is also thought of as about the best dancer in the "W" club. And that is a real recommendation. "Flash" proved his dancing ability to the club the evening when he was initiated into the organization of the Blue W. wearers. Receiving his early athletic training in Everett high school, "Flash" came to Normal last fall. He did not participate in football but conserved his energy for the hoop season. And now that the basket season is finished, John is out on the diamond making it warm for the contenders for the fielding positions on the Viking ball club. And, to judge from the way he is pounding the ball around the lot, he is in a good way to make a berth as a regular. FRESHMEN NINE WILL MEET VIKINGS FRIDAY Norsemen Will Try to Repeat the Record Established During Last Year by Wins over U. W. Frosh Enoch Bagshaw announced through his attorney, Ward Klumn, Tuesday that he would accept the offer made by the Students' Association on condition that he be allowed' to stay one more year and then resign or that all three of the sub-coaches under him also send their resignations and make a clean sweep of it, The Board rejected the first proposal and are considering the second but it is' distasteful to them in that it involves men that are in no way implicated In the quarrel and are satisfactorily serving the University. Next Saturday, April 27, the Normal Vikings will meet the University of Washington Freshmen on Waldo Field, in the first game that the Norsemen will play at home this season. Last year, it will be remembered that the Frosh were not up to the class of the Vikings and dropped two games to the Normalites. The first one, Eddie Wingard chucked the Bellingham team to a close victory. Then in the last contest of the season the Frosh dropped the other one to Granny Thorlakson in a hard and bitterly contested game. Out for Revenge Due to the double defeat at the hands of the Norsemen last season, the Husky Babes will be out to down the locals if it is at all possible. One may expect to see a good game whenever the Frosh present themselves, for t.heir coaches have plenty of material from which to select a team, and they can be counted on to put out a fast diamond aggregation. The Vikings will be in better shape for the game than they have been in the past couple of weeks, since they will be fresh from their tussle with the Washington varsity, and consequently better organized and more experienced. The fans are promised a rare treat in the form of a baseball game for next Saturday. The Vikings with eight experienced men on the squad are going to make Viking baseball history this season. Watch them go. Some ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 April 19 - Page 4 ---------- ISc^Wl^MJ^r. WASHINGTON ftORMAL HP(fe^ \ anizations House Notes 10CAL MUSIC CLUB PRESENTS PROGRAM Bellingham Women's Music Club Chorus Give Annual Concert in Tuesday Morning's Assembly. SOPRANO IS SOLOIST Under the direction of Harrison Raymond, the Bellingham Women's Music Club Chorus presented its annual concert in the Normal School auditorium, April 16. They were assisted by Veona Socolofsky, dramatic soprano, Winifred Arthur Ells, violinist and Paul Lustermann, cellist. The program was begun by the singing of three lovely selections by the chorus, among which 'The Lonely Pine' by Hachmaninoff was per-ticularily well rendered. The others were "The Sweet O' the Year" by Salter and "Babylon" by Clokey. "Ocean, Du Ungehemer," "Shepherd, Thy Demeanor Vary," "Were You There?" and "May Magic" were the selections rendered pleasingly by Veona Soeolfsky, Miss Socolfsky has a rich voice and sings with fluency. The popular aria, "Ocean Du Ungeheuer" and the negro spiritual "Were You There?" received an ovation from the audience that showed their keen appreciation of music well renderd. The second part of the concert consisted of the singing of the "Slumber Songs" from the Madonna Cantata by May A. Strong, with words by Alfred Noyes. In these beautiful lullabies, the chorus displayed the results of the careful training of their director and the individual skill of each of the participants. The addition of the violin and cello helped to make this performance one of the outstanding features of the school year. GRANDISTMIE New Grand Theater Remodeled, Redecorated, and Re-opened with Remarkable Reproducing Device. Vancouver Educational Meeting Has Many Interesting Highlights The National Council of Education which met at Vancouver, B. C, last week was attended by eighteen members of the Normal faculty, although none were able to be present for the entire session. President C. H. Fisher was present at the meetings on the first-day but was unable to attend more because of the conflict with Inland Empire Education Association which met in Spokane last week. The Misses Mary E. Rich, Hilda Rosene, Leona Sundquist, Nora B. Cummins, Bertha Crawford, and Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick attended over half of the meetings while several others attended one or more of the sessions. Besides representatives from all parts of Canada, England and the British dominions, Japan, France, Italy, Germany, and Czecho-Slo-vakia sent delegates to this fourth great Triennial Conference. The Science of Leisure The challenge to the conference was "the-Science of Leisure", and discussion centered upon the topic, "How shall we make use of our leisure time?" From this angle literature, art, music, play, health, movies and radio was ^discussed. The lecturers believed that the citizens should assume responsibility for the educational forces being exerted by these outside factors. Dr. Frank Milner said in the course of his lecture of his address on "Ideal Citizenship" that "the people of the United States had lost part of their heritage in that they had not kept court procedure free from political influence." Tagore, the Philosopher But perhaps the highlight of the whole council was in the address given Saturday evening by Dr. Ra-bindra Nath Tagore, Hindu poet and philosopher. In -his subject, "The Teaching of Religion", Tagore expressed hope for the reconciliation of science and religion. He is described as a wonderful speaker with a wonderful philosophy; a genial and kindly snowy-haired gentleman; and as expressed by one who heard him, his lecture was a benediction to the whole meeting. He is the author of numerous poems and essays and winner of the Nobel Prize of 1913. Former Instructor Visits Friends in City The new Grand Theater reopened Wednesday, after being entirely remodeled and redecorated where necessary. The biggest feliture of the Grand is the installation of the Radio Cor-portation of America, "Photophone The Photophone is a similar device to the Movietone and Vitaphone equipment, but differs markedly in the system of amplification. Six Dynamic Speakers The Photophone uses six dynamic reproducing loud speakers instead of two or three horn type amplifying loud speakers. The "Photophone" may be considerd the highest type of life-like "Talkie" yet available to the public. The effect is similar to that of perfect radio reception; a slight, almost imperceptible hiss is audible but without any cracking or static. The reproduction by means of the "Photophone" abolishes all traces of a mechanical effect which is noticeable in some loud speakers. It is as life-like, as vitalistic a reproduction as has been perfected. Preview Test As an illustration of this fact a test film was shown at a preview last Tuesday. Frequencies of one hundred cycles were reproduced faithfully, then frequencies of two hundred cycles .and so on until the limit of human audibility was reached. Another improvement is noticed in the lighting effect. It is possible to give over a dozen color effects to the stage setting and arch by means of a newly completed lighting circuit. New seats complete the theater's attractiveness. Mr. Horace Rahskopf, a member of the Speech department here for a number of years and also a former debate coach, recently married Miss Frances Jordan a graduate of this school in the class of 1922. Mr. and Mrs Rahskopf visited friends in Bellingham last week-end Mr. Rahskopf was a professor at Willamette University after leaving here and at the present time is a member of the public speaking department and debate coach at the University of Washington. o BIELBY MANOR A pot-luck dinner was held last Thursday evening. Those attending were: Mrs. Bielby, Mrs. Lahy, Eva Jordan, Ethel Adams, Lucile Lara-way, Margaret Torpey, Thelma Harris and Erma Thayer. Ethel "Adams, Eva Jordan, Margaret Torpey, and Lucile Laraway were guests at the Laraway and Torpey homes near Anacortes on Sunday afternoon. Erma Thayer spent the week-end with Mrs. Helen Morford at Cedar-crest. Theater Comments by Bob "Mollie and Me", the gala opening production now being shown at the new Grand Theater starring Belle Bennett and Joe E. Brown is a show a bit different from the usual. - Instead of following the usual line of stories which are somewhat untrue to life, "Molly and Me" follows a'theme that might easily be found in any theatrical production city. Stage Troupers "Molly", Belle Bennett, and "Joe Wilson", Joe Brown, are stage troupers trying to get ahead—to Broadway, the goal of stage troupes. Finally after years of effort Joe gets a chance on Broad way, but Molly is not given the opportunity. Like many an unselfish girl, Molly gives up the troupers to go to the big city with Joe. Joe is given another partner and finally Molly in desperation goes back to her troupers and Joe, not realizing her sacrifices, carries on with his new partner and even fancies. However, before this goes too far she becomes engaged and the climax comes when Joe suddenly appears in the old act of the troupers with' Molly and Molly again sacrifices pride for —Love. Bennett Favorite Belle Bennett is an old favorite of the stage and has usually taken "Mother" parts in the movies; however, with the advent of the "talkie" she now comes into her own, especially in "Molly and Me". The theme song is "The Land of the Make Believe" and is well carried out instrumentally and vocally. Next week we hope to give you a complete theatrical review. THOMAS MANOR Initiation ceremonies came as a complete surprise to the. new .girls at Thomas Manor, last Friday night. Those initiated were Bertha Brajar, Margaret Perry, Lilly Lead and Evelyn Kelly. A baseball team is being organized in order that Thomas Manor may enter the intramural games held between the various houses. o ENGER HALL The following girls spent the week-end at their homes, Mildred Peterson and PPPPP

Heughan, "Scotland's incomparable actor-singer," will be in Bellingham, January 19th and 20th, at 8:15 p. m., at .the Normal auditorium. The two programs will be entirely different: Public prices will be $1.50 and $1.00, plus tax. Student prices will be 50 cents. . Mr. Heughan is not coming here under the auspices of the Normal. Due to an opening in the dates between Vancouver and Seattle Bellingham will be favored by this artist whom the critics claim to be the wprld's greatest basso. The Chicago Tribune says: "William Heughan, he of the kilts, appeared at Kimball hall in full control of what I honestly believe is .the finest bass voice in the world". Famous Lecturer WiH Speak Here on January 20th SCHOOL PROMISED APPROPRIATE FUNDS Hartley Thanks the Institutions for Approval and Co-operation Shown During Administration. —See what little girl. Starmak did for this BATTLED IN BOND. or The Villain's Victory Two of the boys got into a little argument the other day. Percy said that it was wrong to drink. He ordered a bottle of sas-parilla to prove his point. Bill thought that water was good enough for the milkman to distribute, but he couldn't figure out any other use for.it. Percy .retaliated by showing that Washington never could have crossed the Delaware and discovered America if it "hadn't been for water. Bill came right back and said that Washington didn't go across on the water at all. He went on an^ice cake to get away from the bloodhounds. Percy was almost stumped. But he said that liquor had ruined many great men that could otherwise have been of service to their country. Look at Volstead. • Bill showed how resourceful be was at that critical moment. He blew his breath in Percy's face and yelled: "Do you believe that?" Percy was so dizzy that he had to sit down. He said he wouldn't believe it if it was written in the Bible. That nearly settled the argument. But Percy began J;o recover from the whiskey fumes and he was as brave as a lion. "You know that Widdy Linkum is corrupting the morals of the women in our country with her bootleg liquor'! he shouted. .Bill said that he wasn't any friend of Widdy's. He claimed that you couldn't prove anything by women anyhow, because they think the- truth In Governor Hartley's address to the Senate at Olympia, January 11, he thanks the heads of institutions of higher learning for their approval and co-operation with the administration. He promises that the schools of higher learning shall be appropriated enough funds for the most pressing building needs and normal expansion. Mr. Hartley's sole idea is to get the most for the dollars spent. He firmly believes that no matter how poor a child is, he must have an education. Each school of higher learning should have a special appropriation according to Mr. Hartley, thereby abolishing much of the present rivalry. ALL-SCHOOL MIXER TO BE HELD JAN. 19 Men's Club and Women's League Sponsor Informal at Edens Hall. "Musical Program Main Feature. An all-school get-together informal is being sponsored jointly by the Men's Club and the Woman's League which will be held on Wednesday, January 19 at Edens Hall. The Women's League t program and appointees of the president of the Men's Club are preparing a program of music for the evening. Two surprise numbers are also projected. As usual, refreshments will be served. The two clubs engineering the movement are extending a cordial invitation to all students in the Normal and to the Normal faculty. On the afternoon of January 20, we will meet and be entertained by one of the most popular lecturers on the American platform: Tom Skeyhill, a soldier, a poet, a -world traveler, a student of literature, political economy, and world affairs. He is an Australian boy who was blinded in the Turkish campaign and lived in total darkness for three years, recovering his sight in 1919 through the miraculous work of a Washington specialist. Traveled Extensively. Since recovering his sight, he has visited every European country except Portugal. In 1919 he attended the Paris Peace Conference and immediately afterwards, appeared for the first time as a professional lecturer. In 1920 he made his way into Soviet Russia to study Bolshevism, at first hand. His return from that country was very thrilling. Visits Europe in 1922. In 1922, Skeyhill was again in Europe. He attended the Geneva Con-, ference, visited the Near East, and studied post-war conditions in practically all of the European countries. He returned in January, 1925, from a three-month's tour in Italy, where he studied Fascism. He was in Italy at the time of an attempted assassination of Mussolini, and- witnessed the tremendous reaction in favor of the great Italian leader, following the attempt at taking his life. Has Written Extensively. Some of Skeyhill's subjects are: "Mussolini and the Black Shirts"; "The New Elizabethans"; "The Trojan Way"; "A Young Man Looks at His World." Mr. Skeyhill's appearance heref 'all be a big eyent. '-^Or—° -. Ralph Huff: "Oh, mama, look at that man's white pants!" Mother: "Those aren't pants, those are flannels, dear." • gt;•'.. Ralph H: "But. mamiha, father's are red." - ' - Perhaps we are too busy doing important things to even stop and think of such insignificant things as the beauty and welfare of our «cam-pus and school. In spite of it all and whether we appreciate it or not, our campus is being improved and made attractive. The work which was started last spring is now being completed. Large trees and bushes have been planted and rearranged.. Tree is Valuable. The large, black locust tree, which was placed on the southwest corner of the campus is considered a valuable tree. The California redwood, which was recently placed in front of Edens Hall, is the only one of its kind in this city. Flowers to be Planted. Plans are being made to have many different kinds of flowers planted which will bloom from early spring until late fall. This will add much to the beauty of our campus. Walk to be Constructed. A broken-scotch-ashly walk will be made over the mound in front of the school. Underground sprinklers are to be set in and this will eliminate the hose which is in use now. The work on the Campus is under the direction of Geo. A. Dack. Mr. Dack said that with the location of our school and its advantages our campus could be made one of the most attractive in the country. o Control Favors the Project and Promises Support; Magazine Is Devoted to Literary Composition of Students.

If you review last year's Klipsun with a critical attitude, you will readily see that there is splendid opportunity for improvement in composition. Some of the written English in the Klipsun is, to say the least, abominable. ^ We cannot lay this fault at the feet of the Editor. It is the club members and heads of organizations who have neglected their duties. This year, we are getting off to an early start. Get out of this mental coma, this diabolical state of mind.

Dr. James E. Russell, who retires on next June 30 as Dean of Teacher's College, Columbia University, after more than twenty-five years of continuous service, is skeptical.' He makes clear in His annual report why it is difficult for teachers to secure better pay. After clearly pointing out that no other professional school has so many serious and complex questions confronting it as has a Normal School, he says: "The schools of law, medicine, and engineering deal with young students . . who have had no professional experience. Their aim is to give their students the necessary equipment for reaching the first round of the professional ladder. The next steps, and many thereafter, are taken under the personal supervision, of a master . . . The normal schools for. teachers deal with novices as do the schools of law, medicine, and engineering. Their aim is to equip their students for professional service in teaching, but in the teaching profession there is no provision for apprentice-training under the eye of a master. The young teacher must stand alone from his first day in service; he works, behind closed doors and with children who are obliged to accept his ministrations whether they are benefitted or not . . . Years afterward these same pupils render their judgment of a teacher's worth when they are called upon to vote for a revision of a teachers' salary scale. He is a rare citizen who, remembering the faults of his own teachers, can nevertheless give approval to the theory that better pay will bring better teachers, and that better teaching is worth increasingly better support." '••: \^' '-:'.':-"• -:''fiy\ "VIC-•.".;.;h::- •..:': Colored Music. ."The following group is fa~ contrast of colored music," said the man who introduced thef number in the musical program at the assembly Tuesday" morning. Can you''blame anybody if he immediately opened his ears and . strengthened his imagination to get aii idea of 'the possible different colors of a something that, is heard rather than perceived? There were a number in. the assembly who did. But, alas! the music was not of an y_ of those familiar hues we find on. the painter's canvas but it was the music of the Negroes. Had. the speaker alluded to it as black music, at would have been more effective. Watch. Your Step The writer believes in fast work, well done, provided there is-no harm resulting from it. The mad rush to the doors of "the assembly* with supernormal velocity when the audience is dismissed a-few minutes late, has for some time attracted my attention. It would have been all right, as it affords an indoor sport during these rainy and dreary days, but if one would take into, consideration those among us who are by nature rather diminutive in their, physiological, make-up, one would but come to sympathize with them when they are unthought-fully brushed aside by more husky co-eds. Some day there ought to be organized in every co-educational institution a football team of the fair sex... They could prove to be good tacklers and half-backs. v , To ^follow irjf gt;theii- study of the cohstitutidnof ::the IJnited . States; and"- the steps necessary for become 'rig ancAmerican citizen'the eighth grade pupils with their student teachers visited the naturalization court which was in "session last week. Following the visit a round table discussion was held, in which both the pupils.and student teachers voiced their impressions regarding the attitude of the applicants, questions used by'the judge, and the general atmosphere of the court, after which each pupil was given an opportunity to summarize, in a brief statement, the reasons why-the trip was worth while. , Using this summary as a basis for a unit of work in English, each pupil wrote a paragraph including both the trip and the discussion Many interesting'.( points were brought out in these papers, for the children had discovered that the constitution was _simple and interesting rather than a hard, dry documents They were also brought to the realization that the foreigners applying for. citizenship know more about the constitution than Americans do. They developed a feeling of sympathy for the foreigners,, and noted that the attitude toward the Nordic applicants; )yas morej f avorable than";that toward the7-Southern Europeans. ; They were impressed with the dignity of the court proceedings, and by the facts that the. judge insisted on accurate answers. They found that among^the most important points in becoming a citizen, was the ^necessity. of having a good moral character and believing [m .the principles set forth by the constitution. In speaking to the people who received their papers, - Judge Neterer brought out what it means to be a citizen of the United States.

Ray Odell, flashy for-ward, lead the Vikings to victory, playing a wonderful floor game and accounting for twenty of his team's total. On the whole, the contest was well-played, but the Lynden boys slipped up several times on easy set-ups. The chief Normal weakness seemed to be letting the. opposition through the (Ttfense for short shots too often. Odell Opens Scoring. Odell opened the scoring with a clever goal from the field in the first minute. He followed soon after with another, making it 4-0. The But-termakers then commenced activities with their slow-but-sure percentage game. Shagren looped two in a row to tie the score at 4 all, then Axling contributed a shot from .the middle of the floor to put the Lyndenites in the lead for the first and only time during the game. " Jensen evened it with one of his characteristic overhead loop-shots, then the Vikings shot into the lead, liolding their position until half time, with a 13-10 lead. With Odell continuing on his rampage the Vikings gradually increased their lead, and won handily.

The club plans to take up the study of various foreign peoples, including the "Russians, Spanish, Chinese, American Indian, And Oriental Indians. The studies will come under five headings: (1) The life of the people; (2) Their literature (none dramatic); (3) Drama; (4) Art; (5) Music.

Last Sunday morning, Grace Phillips and Thelma Butler entertained at a, breakfast party. The guests included Miss Johnson, Bernice Marvin, and Inez Ebert. They Were Elected. At their first meeting \oi this quarter, the girls cff More's Hall elected Clara Heggen for president and Evelyn Peterson for social chairman. After the meeting, Viola Searing entertained with a few clever stories. The Y. W. C. A. was organized .during the first year of this school and has had continuous life ever since. It is affiliated with the National Y. W. C. A. and the World's Christian Student Association. Thru the efforts of the Y. W., the Bellingham Normal has had representatives in the last three great International Student Volunteer Conventions. It has represented this school in many conferences and councils in the Northwest during thse years. The Y. W. was the first organization to bring students together, and although some of its functions were taken up by the Student Association ^and others later by the Women's League, it finds still an opportunity for service, such as occasions for social life especially for personal friendships, and development of leadership in its organization. The two most unique events of the Y. W. year are the Bible Institute in January, and the sunrise Easter service on Se-home Hill. The Association will be glad to " receive anyone as a member to whom this program makes an appeal and give her something to do. Come with us and* we will do each other good. Yoes Hall Yoes. At their house meeting, Wednesday evening, the girls of Yoes' Hall chose Alma Stewart for -president, and Tillie Thordarson for social chairman and reporter for this quarter.

I t looked as if there might be some of the finer points of augmentation with a chair demonstrated, but Percy solved the problem with his usual diplomacy. He said that he would never think of insulting a gentleman. This took the fire out of Bill's eyes and he decided for the Bake of his social standing in the bootleggers' union, that he hadn't been insulted. He said he would accept the apology and overlook any such little mistakes that Percy might make, because Percy probably didn't know any better. But he didn't know the kind of stuff Percy was made of. His ancestors had been so blue blooded that they called themselves the Kentucky Bourbons without being interrupted. He stood up and told Bill that he would wash the words down his mouth with blood. Bill thought that this was an invitation to drink, so he ordered a gin ricky. When Perc saw how coolly Bill took the "challenge he began to reconsider. After some meditation, he decided that he might as well go home. Bill got up just then to drink a toast to Percy and Percy was so scared he left through the fronjb window without even saying good-bye. So that ended the argument.

"JAPAN NOT MILITANT" For Eighteen Years, -Mr. Trueman Has Been a Representative of the Y. M. C. A. in Japan. Mr. A. -H. Trueman,- who has been in Japan for eighteen years as a rep-representative of the Y. M. C. A., stressed the attitude of Japan in her immediate relations with_the Orient and her international relationships with the leading nations of the Occident, in his address before the student body Wednesday. "Japan has accepted wholeheartedly the Western method of commerce and business, and has arisen from an obscure nation to rank as one of the five leading powers of the world ,in a short period of eight years. The Japanese are proud and sensitive. If we get the full significance of these two fundamental characteristics of human nature it would help greatly in solving our international relationships with Japan." Mr. Trueman stated at the opening of his lecture. Port Arthur Important. Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese war'was stressed. The Man-churian railway gave Japan the balance of power against Russia, so to speak. Probably the greatest single impetus for the expansion of Japanese commerce and industry was the World War. "During the World War, when the dual form of government, was at its highest tension, the Japanese intervened in the Russian controversy with a military attitude. As "a result Japan began industrializing. The rights of China had been encroached upon by the Japs" and her integrity had been violated, when the iron works in the Yangtze Valley were, transferred to Japanese rule."' Japan Not Belligerent. Washington, D. C., completely altered Japan's attitude toward China and her relations "with the Occident became ones of unmitigated friendship and co-operation," the speaker said. The essenceof Mr. Trueman's. address lay in his concluding remarks. He emphasized the. fact that Japan was not. a militant, belligerent or inimical nation, but that she was following in the footsteps of other world powers, and that the only possible remedy for international strife is for every nation to have confidence" in each other and base their relationships upon the highest ideals.

She said: "We must look into the heart of the child and see the real self." ; 0-—r—— : INTER-CLUB COUNCIL AIDS ORGANIZATION Council Consists of One Representative from Each Club and Three Faculty Members. The Inter-Club Council was first organized last spring. Its formation was the result of a fell need of a central organization to control and supervise the activities of the various student organizations. Since that time it has performed an invaluable service for the different clubs of the school. The members of the Inter-Club Council consist of one representative from each of the club organizations, elected at the first meeting of the spring quarter. The representatives serve on the Council during the following year. Besides these student members, there are representatives of the faculty, including the Dean of Women, the Dean of Men and the Social Director of Edens Hall. „ Each organization is required to have a representative at all of the meetings of the Council. Each organization is required to furnish a club calendar for the year with preferences for dates and places. Each organization is also required to furnish the Council with all records, books and such other information as the Council may require. Besides the general supervision of the activities of the Clubs the Inter-Club-Council helps to settle the numerous difficulties within the Mrs. Hankins is Sole Graduate From the Four-Year Course at the End of the Fall Quarter. 59 TWO-YEAR GRADS Paul Rule, Martha Dillon, and Jessie Wait,.

LIBRARY IS FAVORED Hartley's Policy Toward Normal Schools Described by President Fisher as Being Very Friendly. "We feel that as far as Governor Hartley .and his staff are concerned the needs of Bellingham Normal will be well 'taken care of,". President C. H. Fisher stated after the visit of the state executive and his staff to the school Tuesday afternoon. At a meeting of the governor-,-his staff, President Fisher and the Normal trustees, the school budget lor the next two years and matters pertaining to it were discussed. President Fisher said: "Undoubtedly the Normal, with the approval of the state legislature, is to be able to go ahead with construction of 'a library during next year," so it at last appears as if the dreams,, of a library building will come true in the immediate futurei The budget asks for $260,000 to.erdct and furnish the building, which will be located where Cedar street now is, facing the campus. Since last year's state legislature passed the bill containing the provision for a library, there seems to be little opposition to its erection. "Freedom and frankness of discussion led to a satisfactory understanding of our problems. on the part of Governor Hartley and his staff," President Fisher added. "The visit was most satisfatory in every respect. "The policy of the; governor is to insist on quality instead of numbers at the Normal and in this policy the Normal heads are heartily in accord with the chief executive. The_JNbr-mal trustees and myself do not feel that they could have asked finer consideration than was given at the meeting.

In all probability the most enthusiastically received choral recital ever rendered in Bellingham was the production given by The Russian Syniphbnic Choir. The sample presentation given in the afternoon evidently convinced the students that the Russians actually could sing, as a great many attended the evening performance. Russian music is weird; it is soulful; it is the music of a great people, coming up through great tribulations. The Russian Choir was a true exemplification of that soul, of that music. Their costumes as well as their music was indicative of a people who can lay one* hand, as it were, on the age of barbarism, the other on the highest type of modern civilization. ; 'Their intonation chants and folk songs were as a gigantic storm sweeping across the great steppes of Russia, dying away finally to whisper of evening zephyr. The temple song, "Lord Have Mercy," by Lvovsky cannot be given due credit and praise. All that can be said concerning it is, that it possessed a quality of sublimity. The .delicate gradations of the dynamics was a feeling of wonderment and admiration "and of times gave the impression of the presence of a stringed orchestra. Art, color, and unbelievable tone, combined with numerous, almost inexpressible characteristics pertaining to that which is paramount in the world of music, would scarcely do justice to the praise r due the Russian Symphonic Choir. WHY A LITERARY CONTEST? / Announcement of a literary contest was made in the first issue of the Messenger for this fall quarter. The battle of pens is now finished ' and a pronouncement of victors has been made. Two and a half months is rather a long period for a literary contest, whose contributions are usually confined to less than a thousand words. Fred R. Bechdolt, one of the few fascinating writers of Western tales, often * completes a short story of four or five thousand words in less than two weeks, we have been told by Mr. Bechdolt's father. A comparison here is, of course, entirely out of place. The regrettable fact is that the responses to this contest Were very few. Perhaps not enough publicity was furnished, although it seems that a contest of this nature could •' hardly be enhanced by advertising. An appreciation of literature can be directed and enlarged, but the so-called "urge" for self-expression toward the creation of some form of literature is essentially native and is usually evident by the end of the high school year. But the trial of contest was worth-while. The poems, essays and stories received by the judges were of merit. Certainly trie poetry, ^which.was accorded first place was so deserving that had one hundred ethers challenged, it is dubious that its final rank had been altered. Interesting proof of this, how- .'•;.ever, would be to succeed this literary contest with others each quarter. Winners of the late,contest might be allowed to still, compete, and others, who perhaps; did not have time now to compete, could • * ? ^ ; J^r^a n?« they taight -lUJuew premier places. NOTE BOOK FIENDS Some instructors are so congluti-nated to this demented hurry-up-and- get-your-note-book-in complex that special days are set for bearing the sacrificial note book to the brown desk altar. Big days for them are July 4 ; dinner in the park; Labor Day; Thanksgiving; and Last Note Book Day, the best day of all. It is an obfnoxious, antideluvian, and insipidly vitiating custom, this. Hamlet (check up, there, English students, page 37 in your note books) said, "It's a consummation devoutly to be wished," thinking, doubtless, subconsciously, of this pernicious note book habit. Well meaning students in the flush of their sophomoric and excel-isor years, doing research in \ ency-clopediae, have to detour every two or so pages, because of pencil and finger marks of those who have gone before in their tireless search for note book filler. . Instructors probably vie with each other in trying to grind from classes "bigger and better" note books each quarter. -And such teachers who expend time to instruction and not to the indulgence of this notebook passion are probably looked upon with tolerant derision. Training school disciples when for a minute their thoughts are not infested with "projects" should consider note book work. They will never "arrive" in the art of teaching until some -knowledge of note book managing is mastered. But then, get your note books in next week, for the teachers have a surprise for you. They are going to "remember" you before Christmas. 7 ' By V. A. V7 , The Russian Sympkonic Choir only rominded me of the little boys in the Philippine Islands who, in moonlight nights, used to sing in concert in the same manner, but in a more disconcerted fashion than, the Russians do. Primitive music by primitive man was uv,that fashion. Before musical instruments were invented music in its primeval fude iorm was- already in" manifestation: lt; Primitive man of the wildness had only to imitate, and then modify the sound he heard from the' birds, and the brooks and the falling of trees, and the loud peal of thunder. The march of civilization only brought about the invention of the different musical instruments that we have at present age. • i There is a very great difference, however between the music furnished by the Russian Symphonic Choir and that of the boys in the Philippines... But the principle seems finv-damentally the same. •J^iiltjftfauuort Here are the high lights in the speech of Miss Charlotte Frazer, general secretary of the'Women's Christian Temperance Union in America, at, the assembly November 23: "I missed lots of punch and pep of college life by not attending a co-ed school." • "A man does not know much after being married three days." "We don't know what the future has in store for us. We do riot know what will come into our individual lives." "America has never been licked due to right leadership." "Consecrate your life to leadership." Miss /Frazer also said that when she was in school she had only one dollar allowance a month. These' days that dollar will disappear like a soap bubble in an instant.

MECHANICS 6 0 43 Thorlakson, Fisher, and Sullivan Lead Jay Vees Scoring Attack. Fisher Annexes 11 Field Goals. In a game played on the Y. M. C. A. floor last Friday' evening, the Jay Vees overwhelmed the Junior Mechanics. The score was 60 to 13. If the Normalites had been able to connect with the basket more consistently, the Mechanics would have suffered a much worse defeat. It took the Junior. Vikings about five minutes to get going. The Mechanics gained the first field goal, but following this goal, the Vikings, with determiation, set in to do their task and netted 15 points before their opponents made another point. At half time the score stood 35 to 5. The Normal scoring attack was led by Fisher, Thorlakson, and Sullivan. Wreckers Beat Methodists. In the other game of the evening, the Roland Wreckers downed the Methodists 33 to 22. The Methodists fought furiously in a vain effort to overcome the exerienced Wreckers, but they finally succumbed. Ludwigson and Urness played stellar games for the Methodists. Tonight, the Jay Vees will meet their first real test when they tangle with the Roland Wreckers.

Jack Harper^ diminutive Viking forward, grabbed the high honors of the evening chalking up 19 markers during the evening's entertainment as well as playing an all around,-bang-up game. The work of Hawkings, center, was commendable. Although clearly outclassed, the Brown Cole team forced the Normal at all times. McCollum played an outstanding game and led his mates in scoring, accounting for 13 of the total 23. The Baker Lumber yards won an exciting mix from the somewhat crippled Y. M .C.

Although a special matinee performance had been given in the afternoon at the Normal, the ironing -conceit was pleasantly received by an almost full house. With no instrumental accompaai-saent the group of choristers at once suggested something : of the novel,; the unusual, in vocal rendition. Voices Represent Opera. - Other •• features than the unique; oess of the presentation Attracted the j audience for the two-hour program, towever. The perfect ensemble of voices often reminded of an orchestra.: JSharp, plear bells could be distin-! gushed, by the occasional chanting of male voices. Humming, a variation of tone employed effectively by the choir, gave forth a delightful imitation of a tremulous violin. Deep -basses suggested the vibrancy of the 'cello. The entire effect was pleasant ;and satisfying. Grouped in regard to sacred songs, ^classical music and folk songs, the program was well divided. Of the premier group the. repeated strains of; "Lord, Have Mercy" proved most effective, with careful modulations of difficult chords. Classical Music Pleasant. Beethoven's "Andante Con Moto"is rarely heard in chorus; therefore its interpretation was appreciated. "Plai-senterie" of Nikolsky was an attractive lyrical completion of the classical group. Most appealing of the Russian folk songs was a Chechoslovakian dance song arranged by Basile Eabalchich, conductor of the choir. Other folk songs were marked by their lyrical, and charming, simple themes. In the early part of January the second number of the musical course will be given when Reinald Werren-irath, American baritone, will appear lin recital. •They had -knowTi each other for years, these two men who had just met 4n the train.

Don't lean on your partner; she's probably had no lunch, either. 3. Place one finger on your partner's shoulder. She may not be used to dead weight. 4. Don't look as if you were in pain. Take courage—dances don't last a lifetime. 5. Try not to get your form in the shape of a pretzel. Other shapes are far more becoming. 6.. Be light on her feet as well as on your own. 7. Listen to the music. Your conversation may not be quite as full of harmony. 8. . Keep time. The man who wrote the music knows more about rhythm than you do. 9.

Calendar of Events OLD NAME INDEFINITE It Is Hoped That Something of The Ideals and Individuality of School May Be" Expressed. (By Gordon Leen) The Weekly Messenger wants a new name! Following the announcement of this fact in last Friday's assembly, the Board of Control is calling for suggested titles to adorn this newspaper in the future. Although the contest among students for an acceptable title has been open for a week thus far there has been no response from the student body. So the Board again calls for suggestions, reminding all those interested that the person submitting the winning name will receive $5.00 in trade at the Co-op. There is no limit to the numbers of possible names which may be sent in by one student, but the provision is made that all those submitted must be handed in either to the Board or the Messenger before the close of next week. The winning caption will be selected by a student- "faculty committee appointed by the Board. Both the new name and the winning contestant will be announced on Campus Day. Seasons For Change Given Reason for changing a name which has stood for over twenty years or for the. whole life-time of the' Messenger have been #set forth by journalism students and others interested in the welfare of this campus publication. The most outstanding; of these is that the present name is not meaningful enough—it is not in keeping with school ideals and traditions. Also, it is entirely too general, as it might apply to almost any weekly publication. The elements of time and place are regarded as most. important in choosing the new name, but the winning title should preferably be a direct-sounding phrasing suggesting the environment, ideals, or traditions of the school according to the standards set up. "The Lewistonian," of Lewiston, Idaho; "The Normal Advance," of Terre Haute, Indiana; "The Northwest Missourian," of Marysville, Missouri; "Campus Crier," of Ellens- Twrg; and "State Normal School Journal", of Cheney, are typical names used by normal school and teacher's college papers in this coun-try.

"Going on a hike, got to have a kodak film, where'll I get it?" "Darn the moths, look at my swimming suit! I've got to have one today, where'H I go?" And always, from the dark corner where sits the sage, come two words: "The Co-Op." , . - , • - • J •» j -Twenty years have passed since first the Co-op opened Us doors to a student body of doubtful size and doubting natures. Much water has flown under the bridge since then; many books have crossed the counters Today, tomorrow, and next week, the Co-op will enjoy some of'the rosiest days of its history. Ever* day is now its best day. Now to the Co-op come students in unending streams, each requesting commodities which.would have;shocked the educational super-visor of the first Co-op. Swimming suits and the like in a store of an ^ ^ ' ^ t r s ^ years, constant instigation of the needs of the student or the stuaem bDoCdyy and the wants of the individual sudents have been s t u d e n t n e e d m a y be discovered and catalogued until n o w f . 1 M Qn g h J t n o t i c e a t t h e s t u d e nt book store. This service, which has been instituted to meet the demands of the customers, has placed the Co- Op in a place where it is second to no school bookstore as far as' quality and service are concerned. The blue book of college bookstores rates it a Class A. shop, the highest honor such an establishment as1; the Co-op can gain. A present for your best girl, or a card to send congratulating your worst friend on his graduation from the reform school, may not be commonly accepted by educators as necessities. in schools of higher learning but the Co-op has recognized the needs to a certain extent, -for, while the latter gift may be doubtful, the former is not.' And thus, with the variety of articles carried, designed to meet every student need, the Coop takes its place in the front rank of American college book stores, and, as is stated in the advertising section of this paper "Takes its hat off to none of them."

STUDENTS ASKED TO VERIFY CRITICISMS The Weekly Messenger Compared to Other Normal School Papers in Display in Messenger Office. There has been a great deal of criticism of late of the Messenger. Feeling that those who criticize should have an opportunity to.verify their remarks directed at this paper, the journalism class has selected from among the exchanges, papers from other normal schools and teachers' colleges. These papers will be posted on the bulletin board in the Messenger office. The staff invites all students interested, to come into the office and compare these papers with the Messenger. Those who wish to are cordially invited to examine the style, makeup, and contents of these papers and to decide how the Messenger compares with papers of similar schools. One of the papers to be put on exhibit, the "East Central Journal," from the normal at Ada, Oklahoma, was recently judged the best teachers' college newspaper in the country by the Columbia Press association of Columbia university. New York. The Messenger was not entered in the competition. Private Peat's Famous Lecture Outstanding In Week's Events NORMAL WILL HEAR FAMOUS GEOLOGIST Dr. Thomas Jagger to Lecture on Volcanoes and Earthquakes in Auditorium, Thursday, Apr. 26. .!;. 0iM^ ^£§0SS^ Stirring the entire student body with his inspirational address on "The Inexcusable Lie," Harold R. "Private" Peat, internationally famous soldier, lecturer • and author, told his enthralled listeners in Wednesday's assembly that war. will not be outlawed until it is presented as a sin and not glorified as it has been in the past. Private Peat, a wiry little Canadian who was one of the first to enter the great conflict under England's banner, and who wras severely wounded in action, depicted war hot as a great and glorious adventure but as a horrible slaughter. "If I were asked for a picture of war, I should go to the bowels of Mars and select the most hideous creature there and place/it before every schoolhouse door instead of erecting a beautiful monument to a great general," the speaker declared, driving his point home with firm conviction. . Mr. Peat colored his dramatic and emotional address with a lurid description of the horrors of war, which,,.cdupled with his keen wit arid cunning; but clever satire, won. the attentibn and interest of the entire Student body. ;v; : :: ;•'.'• He attacked the misconceptions of war that have been given youth by historians, artists, writers and poets, who have never seen the front line trenches. The men who go through a war, lie explained, do not sit down arid write books about it. . "It is time to talk world peace when it is possible for the scholar, the judge, and the farmer to win a congressional medal," the speaker declared. He. pointed out that the glorification of .Lindbergh shows that there are things other than war that appe.il to the imagination of the public. Private Peat paid a high tribute to Woodrow Wilson, whose statement when the United States entered the last great world conflict, that "this is the war to., end all-wars," was the spark that fired "the weary souls of. the Allied soldiers and enabled them to defeat the Germans, he said. lt; Closing his talk, the Canadian war veteran predicted that the world will hear more about war during the next ten years than it has during the last decade, because the feelings of people are;Still sensitive. The speaker - - a t the conclusion of his address-was'' given the greatest ovation given Aspeaker "this year. Dr. Thomas A. Jagger, geologist, will speak in the auditorium Thursday evening, April 20. Dr. Jagger was with the Tavlof expedition of the National Geographic Society and will speak on "Recent Volcanic Erup% tions and Earthquakes." Dr. Jagger, says "Who's Who", was graduated from Harvard (A. B. '93; Ph. D. '97) and he also attended both Munich and Heidelberg Universities in Germany. He was Professor of Geology'in Harvard Latin and was afterwards a member of the U.' S. Geological Survey. His work during more recent years however has been in volcanic regions, he having conducted expeditious to Mantinique, Vesuvius, the Aleritian Islands, Hawaii, Japan, Costa Rica, Sakurajuma and was the founder and operator for a number of years of the Hawiian Volcanic Observatory, His 'work oil the volcanic geology of the world has done much to enlighten scientists as to the structure of, the inner strata. Geology has grown into recent prominence since Darwin wrote his "Origin of Species." Fossil remains have contributed a lot of evidence in support of the evolution theory and the work in the inner strata--of the earth has strengthened the value, of such evidenctf, which- tends\to prove more clearly, the age and early development of the earth. / Dr. Jaggar has contributed a number of interesting stories, to the National Geographic Magazine. His talk will not only be of interest to students but to scientifically inclined men and women of this community; The Second Annual Northwest Washington High School Music conr test will be held Saturday, April 21, in the auditorium at 2 p.m. The contest is under the direction of Mi-. Harold B. Smith, chairman of the Normal music department. The judges of the contest are: Mr. Adams, of the University of Washington; Mr. Paul Lustermann, of Blaine; Mi-, David Craig, of Seattle- and Miss Slawson and Miss Moore, also of the music department of the Belingham Normal.

" For t h e benefit of those who either didn't read the editorial or failed to get its point, here, in a few words is its gist: " E n d l e s s criticism, based on practically nothing and showing little knowledge of student affairs, has been coming from candidates for Stud e n t ' s Association offices. They have criticized almost all t h e existing institutions of this school—with little understanding or background. Yet they have been elected. They have made foolish promises and stood for nothing. So w h y elect t h e m ?" I n their student opinions, both Mr. Benedict and Mr. Thompson have a great many words to say, a n d in justice to them, their articles are p r i n t e d in full. However, a close scrutiny and consideration of . t he facts in the Various instances they cite will show that they have said very little worth considering. At least, such is m y opinion (borne out by a n y number of people who should be competent judges of the t r u th or f a l l a c y of the above-mentioned gentlemen's statements). I n A n s w e r to M r . B e n e d i c t ' s Student Opinion. First, the editorial was called for, by a widely-prevalent student opinion. Second, although I d i d support Dean Edmundson for president at the last election, there is no reason why I should not question some of his tactics or p a r t s of his platform. Third, I d i d not support a girl for vice-president simply because she w a s a girl, but because I hfelieved her the best qualified of the three candidates. Fourth, it is notsa. tradition here to have a girl for vice-president (as witness the last three incumbents). Fifth, if it is necessary to criticize wholesale or to suggest change, practical plans for substitute or modification must be offered before criticism becomes worthwhile. Sixth, a member of the B o a r d of Control is only one of seven, and will accomplish nothing unless his viewpoints are shared by the remaining members. Seventh, although I d i d not h e a r D e a n M a r t i n speak in the recent assembly, I d id hear President H a l l of the University of Oregon, and w h a t d i d h e s ay about the " r u l e of the majority of all the p e o p l e " ? Eighth, Mr. Thompson's speech did not s h ow that he h a d a real knowledge of student affairs, nor d i d it qualify him for office. Does Mr. B e n e d i c t ' s knowledge of school affairs, as shown in his article, then, qualify him for his position? As he h a s come forth of his own a c c o r d with his numerous. statements, why should he not be j u d g e d on t h e merit of his policies? I n Answer to M r . Thompson • First, in his student opinion, M r . T h o m p s o n shows that he h a s u t t e r ly failed to get t h e main point of the editorial which motivated his reply. H e takes the s t a n d that I am a conservative " d i e - h a r d " , opposed to a n y criticism whatever. O f course he is wrong. My point was t h a t criticism based on faulty assumptions is valueless, and so on, a s stated above. I f M r . T h o m p s o n will but r e a d the editorial in question, I am sure that h e will see h i s e r r o r . Second, I agree perfectly with him o n his a t t i t u de on p u b l i c opinion, but am a f r a i d that if those people w h o v o t e d for h im scrutinized his statement carefully, he would lose many of his b a n d of supporters. Third, the so-called "verbal b r i c k b a t s " he mentions certainly were not directed at him alone. He, a s t h e most outstanding crit-icizer among several candidates, came in for his just deserts as a.n example of what I was hitting at. Fourth, M r . T h o m p s o n ' s charge of "nigh-schoolishness" on the p a r t of the Messenger is absurd. For instance, we print accounts of high school happenings because they a re news, just as t h e University of W a s h i n g t o n D a i l y features high school basketball tournaments or track meets on its front page with big h e a d lines, because they are news. Fifth, as t o comparing the Messenger with other, newspapers, Mr. Thompson is h e r e b y invited to visit room 2 0 5 and make comparisons himself (we have numerous papers from different parts of t h e c o u n t r y for h im t o refer t o ) . • _ I believe there is little more to be said. Like Mr. Benedict, M r . rhornpspn further evidences his ignorance of affairs he speaks about by his article. H e makes misstatements a n d comes to obviously faulty conclusions. And, since he does not k n ow that unsigned articles in this column are a l w a y s written by t he editor, I conclude, R O B E R T F I S H E R , Editor of thfe Messenger. GOOD EVENING! Lovely day, w a s n ' t it ? Yes or no a roomer flitted by us t o the effect t h a t some of t h e stewdents enrolled herein are somewhat skeptical concerning some of t h e MUCK published in this eolyum. We wish to, purchase this oppurtunity to anowntz that all" of the STUFF, MATerial, MAT-t e r or BOLogny that enters this place of witicism, or a t least cism, is all O. Riginal manufactured our own factory dressed by our own hands, and distributed by our own press and we stand in front or behind the aforesaid statement. Several practical-minded stewdents offered us (the business manager and myself) a good bye in SEC AND HAND JOCQUES, but we wisli to make it absolutely clear that we are NOT in the market for USED SLIGHTLY USED jokes. Walt might be interested, tho. ,, Any further such magnanimous offers will be deemed A MANIFESTATION OF AN UNFRIENDLY DISPOSITION, and that BURNS ME UP. Last week the Smessenger held i ts quadro-biannual spring cleanup, a nd we have been notified t o notify some of the hard-up stewdents in t h i s in-stiTOOshun that the Smessenger has on hand or in stock, two gross of good, hard, well-digested and highly saliva-flavored collapsible and non-shrinkable CHEWING GUM, in blue, green, or yellow patterns. The above will be unloaded to t he stewdents and general public tomorrow mornings a t three p. m... As a word of advice, it would be wise in order to avoid the inevitable mob scenes a t the Messenger door, to be on hand just slightly earlier than the next poisson, vso t h a t you may get in on t h e more slightly used. Because of t h e terrific abuse extended, and as a HUMANE act, NO GUM WILL BE SOLD TO STENOGRAPHERS, nor children under 28 years of age. ; P. P. S.

Both of bis lecture-recitals were given in a n interesting and unusual manner to t h e students and faculty. Much of t h e g r e a t e s t music is music with a national flavor, according to Mr. Campbell. He said further that 'nationalism consists of the spirit, touch, trick, mid s n a p of t h e music." He described the two classes of musicians; nationalists and de-nat"' 'ionalists, giving very excellent definitions of each. , Giving a description or history first of the different national types of jmusicj Mr. Campbell .played, well chosen selections to illustrate each Mr.. Campbell played with a spirit and fire which carried his audience, with him throughout the choice little program which included the following numbers: 1. An I r i sh Tune from County Kerry, arranged by Grainger. 2. Hungarian Rhapsody in F sharp . minor, by Ernest von Dohnanyi, (Hungarian). 3—Scherza E Minor,' Greig, (Scandinavian). ' Hopak, Moussorggsky, Rachmaninoff . (Russian). 4. Tangb-Albeniz, (Spansh). 5. Evening in Granada, Debussy, Arabian). The sixth national music type, t he German, Mr. Campbell did not ill u s t r a t e as i t is familiar to all through, such compositions. as "Silent Night",,' and . "Tannenbaum".

WINGARD GOES ROUTE Husky Pitcher Driven from Mound In Eighth; Two Bad* Innings Prove Fatal for Carver's Men. The Normal Vikings suffered their first practice defeat of the season when they fell before the University of Washington varsity baseball nine last Saturday afternoon, at Seattle, by a score of 6 to 2. The locals played good ball but had two bad innings when the Huskies bunched four hits, along with two Normal errors, to score five runs. Aside from the rather disastrous third and fourth chapters, the play of Coach Sam Carver's ball tossers was on par with the collegians. Eddie Wingard went the route for the locals^ hurling a nice game and holding the University nine scoreless after the fifth inning. Unable to solve the offerings of McLean, Washington southpaw, for six innings, the locals got to him in the seventh and eighth, with a series of hit and drove him from the mound. Thorsen started the fireworks for the Vikings in the "lucky" seventh with a two bagger, scoring a moment later on a Husky error. Again in the Eighth , In the eighth session, McClurken, •Normal shortstop, went to first on a clean single and was brought home by Wingard, who poled out a pretty two-base hit. The Vikings, however, were unable to hold the pace and went scoreless in the final inning. : The game was noticeably free of errors, wuth the Hilltoppers making two and the Huskies but one bad play.. Although Coach Tubby Graves' veteran nine accounted for ten hits, none of them went for extra bases, while two of Normal's bingles were two-baggers. Viking Lineup: McClurken, ss.; Odell, 2b; Clark, cf.; Wingard, p.; Johnson If.; Smith, c ; Bailey, rf.; Thorsen, lb.; Thor-lakson, 3b. Hits: McClurken, 2; Clark. Wingard, and Thorsen. Runs: Thorsen and McClurken. The Viking's regular schedule does not start for a couple of weeks yet, so that Carver's men will meet a lot of stiff opposition in practice games until the time they tangle with the University Frosh in their first scheduled contest. University Reserves Courts for Students Students wishing to play tennis on the U. of W. courts must first register with the supervisor, showing their A. S. U. W. tickets and signifying which court they wish to use. The courts will be patroled from 8 in the morning to 6 p. m. by a man from the P. E. department. These rules will assure that students will not be crowded off by outsiders. Exchanges Wduld you still' like to- keep in touch with your high school paper? You (haven't all' outgrown those bonds of an earlier day. If so you you will probably find that familiar .paper in the, exchange file in the Messenger office. Also you may get an idea of what is happening in rival schools from the exchanges received from these institutions. A wealth of ideas can be obtained from these pages. Come and make their acquaintance. They are worth the effort. Spikes .\ Rackets An example of a demi-godin track was clearly illustrated last Monday. Norman Bright proved to be the dark-horse. This boy in a beautiful race defeated Brinkman, Ferndale's star long-distance man, in the mile. The time was 4:44 which is considered excellent pre-meet time. Norman took his time for the first three laps so that he might save his wind for the final sprint which occurred during tlie latter part of the last lap. Before Norman started his sprint Brinkman was way ahead and looked like a sure/ bet to cop the race, then young Bright stretched out and made the rest of the runners, appear to be going in the opposite direction. He easily took the race, beating Brinkman by about six or seven yards. * # *' * • Fans and Fanettes, acording to a recent article in the Bellingham Herald, have a chance to win a free season's pass to baseball games that the Bellingham Tulips participate in. All you have to do, Honeysutt, is to write a letter in to the sports-department of the Herald telling "Why I Should Support the Tulips" * * * * The W.^A. A. is holding a hike to the-top of Lookout Mountain this coming Saturday. The W. A. A. manages to have quite a quarterly hike program. Why dont the men get together and formulate such a program. A great many of us don't know what to do on Saturday and other vacation days. If there was some sort of an affair formulated it is a safe bet thai a good many of us would participate. With all-school affairs on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday a n d Saturday :nights, how can the! Normal athlete train ? * * * * The . University of Washington Freshmen tennis team is regularly defeating the varsity squad down in Seattle. The Vikings are to meet this Frosh team in two tournaments, one down at Seattle and one here,—evidently another massacre will be written down in the annate of history. SOPHOMORES PLAN ELABORATE PARTY "Tomorrow night's the night" for the big Sophomore spring sport dance, a jolly affair where, one can wear the jolly old sports clothes, go without a date, not spend a penny and still have a good time. Such are the promises of the members of the entertainment committee of the Sophomore class. The Sophs have issued invitations to themselves, first, the faculty,, second, all the upper classmen third, and the freshmen boys, last, but, according to members of the committee, not least. Proving themselves more considerate than most hosts, the sophomores' have settled that old question "what shall I wear?" with a perfectly definite answer, "wear your sport clothes if you have any, and if you haven't, just be sure you don't, dress up." . Guests do not even have to worry about whom they will go with—it's a no-date affair—a phase of the entertainment which is expected to appeal to the sweetheartless older people of the upper classes. Another reason why this party is expected to prove one of the most popular of spring affairs is that it appeals to the drop of Scotch or Yankee blood that is in every American ,-r-it won't cost a cent either to get in. or, to get out. Added to these attractions is music by Herb Hess's Orchestra, "and decorations suitable to the season. The committees which have done so much to make this affair a success are -working under Beth Cogli-lan, general chairman Society Brand Clothes Burtenshaw Sunel "•:•'• "Service With a Smife" VIKING TRACK TEAM ROUNDING IN SHAPE Tryouts Given Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; Bright and Jewell Are Good in Competition Again rain arid wind have prevented completion of all the track try-outs. The events, as planned by; Head Track Coach Sam Carver, were to be finished Thursday of last- week but only a few were run off Monday and Wednesday. A potential Viking star was uncovered in the mile run when Norman Bright,' an unkn6wn, now in his first year of track competition, covered the four laps in 4:44. Brinkman followed him to the tape in 4:48, with Marsden coming through _ in 4:49. Bright's mark, coming on a slow track, gav« Coach Carver hopes of developing him into a really outstanding runner before the season is over. The shot-put was copped by Ray Jewell with a heave of 3S feet. Ar-nett chalked up a distance of .33 feet for second place, while Johnson scored 31 feet 10 inches. Ivorsboen and Miller were the only two entrants in the 120-yard high hurdles. Korsboen was timed at 19 seconds while Miller was disqualified. The broad jump was won by Stan Thompson with a jump of IS feet 7 inches. While not being exceptional it was good for tryout jumps and Stan is expected to increase his distance. The half mile proved to be a struggle betwen Ray Jewell and Frank Gallanger for the first lap ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1928 April 20 - Page 4 ---------- lt;i ^"THe MystertwHtney'* is the urius* :uiil name chosen; by the Oregon Club i for • its big all-school dance which is ^o be held .tonight at eight o'clock :in the big gymnasium/ . )S'*Be different" is the motto of the J0regori club so far as tonight's dance ; is ^concerned and from all-reports and appearances it is thought that the web-footers have certainly succeeded. 'While^ many of the arrangements : are still hidden under the term "mys-tero" j arrangements as to declarations and some special featm-es have been disclosed and promise to equal anything the Normal has seen for some time. Admission will be free, but tickets will be sold inside, "jitney" fashion, which means that dancers will buy a number of tickets on entering and one ticket will be collected from each couple during each dance. The posters read "bring your nickles." "Decorations will be of a carnival nature and in brilliant colors. Other features which will add to the smer-riment and brightness of the scene will be balloons, squawkers, carnival horns, and confetti. It is thought that special dances and prizes are hidden under the term "Mystero". According to chairman of the committee, Violet Loo, an excellent or-chstra has been arranged for and there is nothing lacking in preparations' to make this one of the most exciting affairs of the spring quarter. •- -o—V-REQUIRE REQUISITION All Student Association orders in the future must be requisitioned through the Secretary of the Board of Control and O. tK.'d by Miss MacKinnon, according to a ruling passed last week by the Board. In the past, all bills were handled directly by Miss MacKinnon. It has been necessary to make this change owing to the fact that she can not always be located and Roy Arnett generally can be found more easily.

They are: Hamilton Church, Milton Field Harry Hale, Myrtle Berg, Bertha Altose, Anna Fillinger, Ed Dingerson, May Dillon, Viola Poy-honen gt; Virginia Beyer, Mable Hoff-jnan, and Guy Springsteel. Modern youth and its criticisms were discussed at the meeting, the speakers being Rosa Van Ess; and Lyn Hughes. Plans are being made for a boat trip . to Viqueen Lodge.

From his own comments in conversations and editorials we -learn of"two reasons. In the first place he wanted a girl for Vice-President, ' no matter who it might be. whether interested in Student Government or not, capable or not capable, qualified or unqualified makes no difference.] It is a custom to have a girl Vice- President We must satisfy a few who might complain and above all we should follow the old traditions. Play safe by voting for a candidate who says little and thinks less. Secoundly, Too many men on the Board of Control who think' for themselves and have the energy to express themselves in the light' of the' student opinions is not desire-able. They may look for more power or wish to advocate reforms which are not desireable by conservative interest. At least not by the past president of the fall quarter. . These reasons in no way justify his criticism but go to show his prejudiced attitude concerning tin* outcome of the recent elections. \ I for one, have no objections to girls serving on the Board of Control, In fact there should be two girl members to represent the students, But if we fail to put up a strong enough candidate or if we if the men put up a stronger candidate are we to vote for the weaker one, just for the sake of putting a girl on the Board of Control?? The Editor supported our President, Now when elected he turns around and attempts to ridicule his own Candidate as we'll as the students who voted for' his choice. Is there any consistency in this .attitude Mr. Editor ? ? I fail to see it. If students want certain rules and policies in this institution, How are we to obtain them unless we advocate them?? Nothing can be gained without effort and often it is necessary to destruct in order to"* build ;-up that which you are striving for. The best and sane method which the students have followed is to recognize leaders who advocate the things which the students want whether they the.things can be obtained in the position the officer holds or not. Senator Jones has not the power to create a tariff on shingles but nevertheless he can advocate such a tariff if the citizens so desire him too. and thru efforts such legislation may be obtained. When the Board of Control has not the power it might wish,. Certainly the least it can do is present the opinions and attitude of the student body concerning school, problems. I for one have faith that the administration will give them some consideration, at any rate there will be a more definite and clear understanding between the two. Is there any harm in so doing. The Editor has failed to point out any. The next point raised by the Editor is:, A member of the Board of Control is only • one of the Seven, What has he to say or what can he do ? Possible he is attempting to thrust upon us some difficulties he has had in getting what he wants done.?? Sfcich a fallacy in arguement is hot worth considering. Should the state of Washington refuse to elect two Senators to represent our state in Washington D. C. they.are only two Out-of the ninety-six?? •fc'I -believe the student body in choosing their officers, have judged them according to the candidates ability and Character and the interest they have in school activities. And-1 believe the students are just as capable as the editor might be in selecting officers. The Editor would have us believe that we all were ignorant, unintelligent students, Uncapable of choosing the right officers and what not. Is he right?? If so he might enlighten the unfortunate student body by telling us how to select a candidate, Possible he is more qualifed to do so than Dean Martin was able too in his excellent lecture in a recent assembly?? If I understand a Editors position correctly, He should know something besides what a question on the surface appears to be. In short he should know the truth and facts in a case and then give his opinion from the conclusions he has drawn. Has this been done?? Hardly He has failed in his attacked upon the successful candidate of the last election, Mr Thompson's speech in The MpstUp-to-DateClothing and Furnishing •For the Least Amount of Money .. \ \ my beliefe won him no material votes. Those he won by his speech were counteracted by votes he lost by such a speech. This seems to be the prevailing opinion of many students. Nevertheless everyone admires a fighter, a man of principles and who is capable of telling what he thinks regardless of what others may believe. Even tho we do not agree with everything that is said we must acknowledge that everyone has a .right to their opinions. Mr Thompson was elected on his splendid record in this institution and his ability as PPPPP

Said Chairman Reeves, in speaking of the frolic, "We will have the best orchestra in Northwest Washington. Those, who do not dance as well as those who do are urged to attend. The Sophomore boys and the faculty :are cordially invited." Freshman President Stanley Thompson, in commenting upon the party, stated: "This is our first opportunity to get together as .a class unit. We should take advantage of this opportunity and develop a "Heiio" spirit which will carry us as a unified body during our brief two years in this school." The frolic is being arranged by five committees~work'ing the general committee.

McNeil , Mae Barbo Millard Sutherlen Fred Schwan' What sort of turnout will there be; for the Viking's final football game of the season? What sort of. game will the team play- against the University of Washington Supervarsity tomorrow on Waldo Field? - The big game is over, the championship has been lost, homecoming is a matter of history. What difference will it make whether Bellingham wins or loses, whether the crowd is out there to cheer? Last Saturday we demonstrated our enthusiasm. We turned out, a large crowd; we cheered, it was good cheering ;^we proved that we have pep. But this -week it won't matter. I want to go home anyway, or go shopping. But it will make a difference whether we turn out to see the game, whether the team plays to win. It will prove the quality of bur loyalty, the loyalty we heard so much about last week. If we show that same loyalty tomorrow, if the team fights as though it had the same incentive as before even though we should again lose, we will yet be the winners, winners in a bigger sense than the difference in the score. The winning or losing of a football game, or even a Tri-Normal Championship can mean little if it does not bring out in a school that quality of undauntable loyalty, the unquenchable spirit of "fight" which defeaf only intensifies. m BjrBARNEY ... There is some consolation in knowing that Bellingham Normal stands by her convictions and lives up to the standards she sets, even at the cost of a football game and a championship.. Two men, regulars on the Viking team, were declared ineligible just before the Ellensburg game. Everyone knew how hard a game it would be, how much we desired to win. Yet, knowing that the loss of these two men might cost us the victory, these men were still kept out, one of whom might have been eigible had the committee not interpreted the rules so closely in their effort to abide by the "letter" as Well as the "spirit." Had these two men been able to play they might have changed defeat to victory, thir loss at least was keenly felt. But if this school can come to have the reputation of insisting upon high scholarship standards from its athletic representatives it will gain far more than a whole bag of tri- Normal Championships. In the present case we at least won the "morai" victory from Ellensburg. The new attendance system has been in effect for nearly a week, yet things appear to go on around school just about as usual. The innovation as yet has not occasioned rioting or mass protest.meetings. In the Student Body, however, a new attitude can be sensed.. Instead of the old attitude of "Let's cut classes, we can turn in an excuse that will get by," it now is: "Gosh, I don't dare cut. My grades are low enough now". At least the value of class attendance has been raised. The hew scheme calls upon the student to place relative values upon class attendance or the value of doing some other thing at that time. Yet some of us are hoping for the time when the responsibility will be placed entirely on the student as to whether he thinks class attendance is more worth while than something else, by not providing any penalty for missing class.

David, it J seems, had just killed a fellow-sailor in a bra^yl and in saving Shelley's life he felt somewhat justified, so that Jasper, the murdered sailor, was thrown overboard, dressed . in Shelley's clothes and bearing Shelley's books. Shelley assumes the name of Shiloh, given by David, and together they set out in search of the lovely Lady Silver, Jasper's little sister. Shiloh ever carries her miniature with him, gazing often at the eyes described as being "full of a soft darkness, like the patterned eyes upon the"wings of moths". David and Shiloh go to Louisville, Kentucky, and later they set out along the dangerous trail to California. Behind them they leave fierce Indian tribes, bountiful food, supplies, and several young women who, as usual, have fallen hopelessly in love with Shiloh As a pair of tramps they score again and again in remarkable adventures among all sorts of people, with gorgeous backgrounds of the early years of the 19th. century, in America. •Shiloh is a lone figure, facing life as if he were a spirit of the wind instead of a -real .human being. In the conclusion his wild spirit is expressed as he looks out over the blue waters of the Pacific ocean.

BELUNGHAM. WASHINGTON mmmmm mm STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Strong Playing of Opponents Sends Fighting Local Squad to Defeat After Early Powerful Showing. IS T H I R D STATE TITLE Locals Take Lead in First Canto But Lose Winning Chances in Blocked Punt Rolling over Goal With the coveted state tri-normal gril title within their grasp, Coach Sam Carver's band of fighting Vikings faltered in the final half of their * crucial homecoming battle with the Ellensburg Wildcats Saturday on Waldo field, permitting the Wildcats to pile up twelve winning points and return to their eastern Washington domicile with the mythical crown safely in their possession. The Vikings fought like true Norsemen, but were unable »to withstand the ferocious offensive attack of "Sandy" Sandberg's proteges whose two touchdowns in.the ebbing half of the fray more than offset the lone • six point marker annexed by the Blue and White in the initial period. Ellensburg proved herself a worthy title holder, by virtue of her spectacular comeback in the last half, before a capacity crowd of loyal .Viking supporters. After "Chuck" Erickson. flashy Viking back tossed - a well-directed forward pass over the Wildcat defense into the arms of Stans Thompson, halfback who loped the remaining distance to a touchdown, in the ": opening canto, prospects for a hilltop victory were exceedingly.bright. ' - An unexpected tufn of events in the third period threw the Blue and White eleven on the defensive. Snatching a long spiral-pass an Ellensburg tackle wove his way • through the Viking's secondary defense to the 1-yard mark. Coach Sam Carver's stonewall line held for two downs but on the third play the champs went over for a touchdown. Their try-for-point was blocked. With a victory in sight the heralded Wildcat offense broke loose and ripped its way through the hill-toppers, carrying the .oval deep into the Viking's territory. The invaders, however, were unable to^ smash through the line or "dash around the ends for a touchdown and it was not until the final canto, when the gridders from Eastern Washington taking advantage of an unforeseen break, scored the deciding touchdown. Captain -Harold Hawkings' punt from deep in his territory was blocked by a charging Wildcat lineman and was pounced upon behind ;the goal line by an Ellensburg play-that gave the champs the contest, er. The blocked punt was the break In a futile attempt to even matters up, the Vikings took to the air in the waning.moments of play, and long passes literally filled the air. Here again the breaks were against them, for jus£ as their aerial drive would get under way, an intercepted pass would throw a monkey wrench into the Blue and White.' offense. • Not withstanding their rather discouraging defeat, Bellingham played a commendable brand of football. The forward wall played its usual stonewall game and the backfield at times played brilliant football. Inability on the part of the secondary defense to check the, Ellensburg for- •vrard passing attack and on the part of the Viking safety man to return ' punts, was largely responsible for the outcome.. ; Professor: "What does 'A' mean ;i» chemistry?"

STANFORD. U, S. G. RACINGJOR TITLE Both Teams Face Hard Games and Previous Performances Predict Struggle for Championship. Stanford University and the University of Southern California, today, stand out as the leading contenders in tile race for Pacific Coast title. The Cardinals returned to California with the scalps "of the Washington Huskies tucked securely under their belt, only after one of the toughest- games of the season. Stanford won 13-7. . But Stanford faces two more games this season, which will be hard ones, although the Cards are doped to take both. Saturday, in a non-conference game, they meet Santa Clara and the next week they meet their ancient rivals, the California Bears, in what is termed "The big game of the Season" on the Coast. Stanford should win this game on the face of present showing, because the Cardinal backfield and the tremendous strength of their line are too much foiv the weaker bear eleven. Although idle last week, the Trojans, of the University of Southern California face some hard games' in the rest of their schedule. JMext Saturday they play Colorado, then they tackle Notre Dame at Chicago, November 2G, and as a fitting climax for the season they will meet the Washington Huskies at Los Angeles. The Vandals, of Idaho, is another team to be reckoned with, as thev are not yet out of the race. To date, the Vandals are undefeated, but they have played two tie games: an early season scoreless tie with the University of Oregon and a 3 to 3 tie last Saturday with St. Mary's, although the latter' was a non-conference game Parents Discuss P.

Fisher Talks One hundred" and ten parents attended a meeting of the mothers of the pupils in the Training school, which was held Wednesday afternoon. At this meeting, Dr. Ruth Boring Thomas, who examined the children of the school earlier' in the year, spoke on the significance of the health examinations given and emphasized the more recent points of health examinations and a w ll child. Individual health cards for each pupil filled out by Doctor Thomas, were given to each parent, and cards were mailed to those mothers who were not present. These cards indicated the presence of abnormal conditions or defects in the following items, as regards height, weight, and normal weight: nutrition, posture, teeth, tonsils, glands, thyroid, eyes, nose, ears, skin, feet, heart, lungs. Dr. Thomas asserted that there was no cause for the continuance of such diseases as diphtheria and smallpox, and brought out many other points of interest in regards to child health. President C. H. Fisher, of the Normal, explained the presence and work of the training school in a teacher training institution. He demonstrated the use' of the best known methods which have been worked out by science in regards to the type of education with which the training school is interested Mrs. Dolan,'president of the Central council of the Bellingham Parent Teachers Association spoke on the organizatin of -a Parent Teachers W.

Pelagius Williams is (trying out this Quarter an experiment with his section in History la A group council has been formed consisting of representatives from each of the four sections taking the course; The general purpose, of the plan is to secure, through the. class representatives, the attitudes and points of view of the class groups in regard to tlie course and its conduct, to secure closer contact between the instructor and the students and to develop a group conscientiousness of purpose and work. Frequent council meetings are held at which free and frank discussions over textbook, tests, assignments, reports any student participating, and other matters pertaining to the course are entered into. \ "This is a day of democracy," says Ttfr. Williams, "The principle of representation in the student extra - curricular activities is well established. Why should not the college : course also be included? A8 a matter of fact the student has a very large concern in the courses of study for which he is enrolled for his success or-failure in them determines his future scholastic and professional career. If he has some voice through his (representatives in ' determining the different elements tht constitute his course he will feel better satisfied with the results, whatever they, may be, than if they were autocratically imposed At any rate the experiment seems worth trying out." —o Eighth Grade Pays Visit to Plant of Local Newspaper by/^Ber^^^ •'a^Hfelen^Nieli^ nihg.

The classroom discussion followed a trip to the plant of the Bellingham Herald, which was taken on Monday. The tour through the establishment was made possible through the courtesy of Mr.. Frank Sefrit, managing editor of the paper. The visit included all the departments of the business, though the interest of the students centered mainly around the printing division. The construction of the presses, their speed/weight, and mode of use was of especial attraction to the •children.. Other items which drew their attention were the linotype machines, tlieir operation and part in making the paper; and the engraving department. The process of making a mat from copy, and the placing of words on the mat was exceedingly interesting to some of the pupils, while sjtill other children expressed amazement at the amount of. materials used in the publication of a modern daily paper. Questions were asked concerning the rapidity with which extra editions can be published.

"How are we?" We spit out toughly. Then remembering we weren't at Normal, we smiled at the eternal feminine. "Are we too late for the prologue?"

MUSIC BEGINS A T 8:15 High Tribute Paid to Simplicity and Melodic Beauty of Music of Russian Choir by Papers. Bellingham music lovers will experience unusual pleasure in the appearance of the newest of Russian companies at the Christian Church, Wednesday, November 24, at 8:15 p. m., under the joint auspices of the Bellingham Normal school and Women's Music Club. Congratulations are due the organizations who are sponsoring the presentation of this brilliant choir for their initial concert this season. The high standard of music provided in the past is quite evidently to be maintained throughout this coming winter. Choir Praised by Critics. Press notices from Eastern and mid-Western cities pay high tribute to the simplicity and the great melodic and harmonic beauty of the music produced by the Russian Symphonic choir. This choir has been characterized as a thoroughly routined body of choristers who have been trained to give an impression of symphonic music through the projection of the voice. It is composed of twenty-two voices, everyone individual. The Boston Globe describes it as-a body of solo singers joined together under :the able leadership of a^ master musician. Discards Antiquated Traditions. Mr. Kibalchich has discarded the antiquated methods and musical tra-' ditions of choral singing as exemplified 7by the old Italian and German schools. He has gone beyond the development of the nineteenth century and has successfully developed a new form of vocal ensemble. He has taken the symphony orchestra as his model and.has given each voice of his choir the same value as each instrument has in modern orchestra. Furthermore, he has invaded the repertory domain of the chamber orchestra and the piano and has rearranged many standard classics for choral singing. Receives Tribute. Tlie New York Journal makes the following comment: "One of the most thrilling experiences we have • — - - * RUMMAGE SALE AT 12:30 TODAY Attention! Everybody come to the Rummage Auction Sale, in the auditorium from 12:15 till 1:00 o'clock today. All ar- : tides on sale have been donated j; by students and faculty members; the auctioneer is Kenneth Smith, with three assistants. Proceeds will go to the Annual Red Cross Roll Call. If you have a favorite instructor it may be possible that you will be able to purchase . ! something formerly belonging , I to him or her. UBSCRIPTIONS FOR RED GROSS GIVEN Organized Houses and Faculty Members Canvassed for Membership. Auction Sale Held. (Continued on Page Four) Due to the fact that students have not responded as well as was expected to the Annual Red Cross Roll Call, the time for subscribing has been extended until one o'clock today. Membership subscriptions of $1.00 or more as well as smaller contributions have been received on the landing every day this week, from 12 to 1 o'clock. Edens Hall and" various organized houses are being canvassed for subscriptions, there being a contest between the houses. Faculty members, also, have been canvassed. Up to Wednesday afternoon, the amount received was $50. By one o'clock today, a total of about $100 should have been obtained. Auction Sale Today. This noon, from 12:15 until one o'clock, the Social Service committee of the Women's League is sponsoring an auction sale in the auditorium, the proceeds to be used for the Roll Call. Besides, many Normal school students have been giving their services to the campaign down town. At present, .$1200 has-been received in Whatcom County. Unless the quota of $4500 for Whatcom county is reached soon, the Roll Call,, which started November 11, will continue until Thanksgiving day, Nov. 25. C. H. Twiss is general chairman of the Roll Call; A. gt;W. Dahlquist is county organizer, and Pres. C. H. Fisher is President of the local chapter of the Red Cross. As the Roll Call is the sole source of support of the Red Cross, it is hoped that everyone will take advantage of the extension of time and do his 'bit by Apatronizing the rummage ^ale or by making donations on the landing. TRIP AROUND WORLD IS REVEALED IN RANGENORMAL ENROLLMENT; ALASKA AND PHILIPPINES -• If -you.are that independent type of individual who believes himself isolated from the rest of the world, just take a trip through the corridors of the Bellingham State Normal School. You will find that old maxim 'the world isn't' so large after all," is well verified. Now for one who is anxious . to travel for the "express purpose of studying the different types of people this advice is given." Don't go to the tremendous expense of traveling far and wide; just spend a few days in this house of learning on the hill, and much of your curiosity will be satisfied... . , . -: Possibly you are one who is interr ested in the far north, say Alaska or ^Canada; you can -find here seventeen perfectly good samplesr— twelve from Alaska, and Five "from Canada.

Then, again, you might be an advocate of that well-known slogan, "See America First." Ample opportunity is given as you may judge for yourself when one-third of the states of the nation are represented here. Thirty-two out of thirty?nine counties of the State of Washington, have delegates at our school, rection. Statistics show that Washington leads with 807 students enrolled. Oregon comes second with 48, while Montana has 13 for third place. Three are enrolled from Idaho. . California, North "and South Da-, kota, Indiana have two natives each in attendance here, and the. following have one each: Minnesota, Iowa,' Utah, ^Colorado, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Kentucky, and Missouri.

P R E S . F I S H E R SPEAKS Miss Dawson Stated Scholarship Is Also Essential to Primary Work as in Other Divisions. During the past three weeks all entering freshmen have been attending meetings sponsored by the training school, dealing with information concerning the various courses of study offered here. This has always been a very puzzling and difficult problem for the incoming Freshmen. A series of talks has been arranged to be given by several members of the faculty. The principle lying back of this idea is to give the new students *a chance to make a more intelligent decision in regard to what, course should be taken. The first of these talks was given on October 22. Miss Rich spoke on "The importance of the decision from the standpoint of the pupil, of selecting the right curriculum." The point emphasized was that the students thought•should be not what course to take" so much as what should he do the first two or three years after graduation from the Normal school. President Fisher, in his address on The Demands of the Field and the Superintendents," explained that the graduates specializing in the grammar grades are difficult to place. More teacherscare "wanted in the primary and intermediate grades than in the upper grades. Miss Dawson gave .the secona of these talks on November 8. The subject of the address was the "Demands of the Primary Curriculum." She stated that, contrary to former ideas, scholarship is just as essential to .the primary work-as it-is"to' the other departments.

This organization is regarded as the greatest of its kind in the country. It is regrettabk that our vacation should end on Wednesday, at 5 p. m. Some of us who have a long journey to our homes will be deprived of the opportunity to hear the Russian Singers. A tribute from the Boston Transcript of January 10, 1925 is in keeping here. "What manner of man is this who has struck a new pattern in Choral singing? Mr. Kilbalchich might be the professor in the conductor's stand, for gentleness in bearing and docility in his ways. • Nothing of the careless disorder which accompanies the Latin Choir touches the Russians. They stand immobile, almost expressionless, before their leader, with a grace that springs from dignity. They approach their slightest folk song with more attention than the Vatican singers give to Palestrina. Mr. Kibalchich is careful of phrase. The faintest motion or poise'of his hand bring response. He may summon or quiet with identical energy, and can compose in a movement of inches what an operatic conductor may attain by a sweeping gesture of a yard." WHAT! SCHOOL SPIRIT AGAIN If you haven't pencilled off a Student Opinion discoursing on the school spirit, obey that impulse and do it now. Borrow a pen or pencil, don't steal, that's too common—-or step in the Co-op, claim a clerk to give you prices on pencils. There is one offered in blue and white, colors of your Alma Mater, by which to flaunt that "school spirit." Waste paper baskets will be emptied and aired next time on Monday. Therefore get that opinion in by that date, even if you must goad yourself with a pen from the registrar's office. Only four- "school spirit" exhortations were received last week. Let's make it eight, or better, ten, next week. We can do it. No high school and few colleges are of but two years period of enrollment. Whatever congeniality is realized by four years of secondary school life can harldy be effected by two months of Normal life. Diverse schools and diverse people are necessarily represented here. Elucidation pertinent to 'school spirit" could have been garnered from a cursory glance of .the still ^remembered Homecoming. Two hundred and fifty' students, many whose stay at the Normal was less than a year, returned. "Such an act is a manifesto or a regard which grads have for this school. Many of the Alumni have entered other schools, universities, or colleges. That progression means a greater glory for the Normal. And their • natures are the cosmopolitan natures of the thousands who have.known this school, rooted at the games and appreciated fewer advantages than those afforded Normal students of the past three years. i Si^i-'i'ti.'f'l"- Students who have done unsatisfactory wort during the first five weeksf of ' t h e quarter have' been warned and put on the guidance Jist,! in cornpliance with a pro^ ?^pf the scholarship regulations. The following figures show the standing of the freshmen in different subjects. Of all freshmen courses Science la scores the greatest number of students showing poor work; Library Instruction ranks second; and English la is third in the list.. . Out of 426 students taking Science 1 a, 122 have been hoonred with "warning cards" in the Dean's office. Miss Wilson has 443 in her class, out of which 78 have to "dust out" more magazines and reference books the rest of the quarter; from 403 enrolled in English la 75 have been asked to burn the midnight oil longer; 176 students registered in Home Economics 2 have among them 37 going "ten miles an hour;" and out of 421 taking in the sights of ancient Egypt and Babylon, it has been difficult to pick out 14 to see Miss Sundeen at the Dean's office. JUST SEVEN MORE ASSEMBLIES Loud knocking bf assemblies seems to be the vital issue of dis: cussion this week, last week, and doubtless will be the preferred subject for the next Week. "That's the kind of thing our five dollars go for. A woman with a line like that ought to pay to come here." -Grant that you don't relish heavy courses in Continental poetry. We agree, too, that half of this high-brow, stiff-shirt, classicism in music whets the appetite but slightly when we get to hear it at 11:25. It's like rationing a gang of threshers with a plate of lady fingers for their noon-day meal. • -\ Even faculty members open.and peruse books during the hour's round, or sort mail. The Messenger bets twelve weeks of free subscription as an inducement that assemblies would again • • • lt; • ' • ' ... • • be popular, the talk of the school, the students' vice, if they were but given a shade of a chance at being /interesting.

Yet I shall see in my dreams Your lovely form, subject of my praise; » As the essence still lingers in trust After the petals have been crushed, And nothing is left, it seems, So swet memories will be unfurled, Reminescenses of Life's triumphant days. * * » » "It is feared that about 67 students will have to be dropped from school at the end of this quarter," sighed Dean Marquis' secretary. "Last summer,", she confided, "nineteen students were dropped. Yet," her eyes expressed pride and wonder, "we had a much bigger enrollment then than we have now." * * # * It seems that in any educational institution the freshmen always afford an interesting subject for scrutiny and study. Perhaps it is because they are "fresh" and "green." * * . * .* The Messenger • has the student body "wedded" to it, that it would be an injury to divorce one from the other. I would rather miss one meal than miss an issue of the Messenger. * * * » Tonight is the Frosh Mixer. The other week the College Club had their Fall Dance.

And it will be for the Winter Quarter, thes.e dances being held these days, are for this quarter. * * » * * I t seems that after all the DANCE is the main thing in this club stuff. There is nothing wrong in it, but is there nothing more worthy of the time and energy of students than dances? Can't these youths of today dedicate the ardor and high" passion of their soul to the contemplation of the beautiful and lofty, the reverence of the divine and omnipotent, the consecration of their efforts to the nobility and grandeur of service, and a growing love of learning? * * * * We are all. parts of that ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 November 19 - Page 3 ---------- JUNIOR VIKING IEAM TAKES FIRST FROM MIDWAY|ENJ 23-18 Jayvees Have Trouble Conquering Cigar Men; Due to Erratic Play at Times; Points Scoring Even. H A R R I S IS H I GH Viking Squad Comes Back Second Half With Better Team Work, and Finishes in Good Order. Playing both good and poor basketball, the Normal Junior Vikings -won a hard fought contest last Tuesday evening from the Midway Cigars 23 to 18. Failure to locate the baskets on the "Y" floor, kept the Junior Vikings from scoring more consistently. Fisher and Sullivan missed set ups time after time. Another week's practice will find these men locating the hoop. "Brick" Harris, of the Midway quintet, took individual scoring honors with five field goals, and following him were Sullivan and Thorlak-son with five markers a piece. As the second half opened, the score stood nine all. Both teams were determined to take the lead, but Normal annexed one basket, and after that, they were not threatened. Preceding this contest between Normal and Midway, P. S. P. L. humbled the Shell Oil'hoopsters 37- 21. After making only three points in the first half, the Oilers came back and made 18 points in the final period, but the lead they had to overcome was too great to win.

Ellensburg Normal clinched the Tri-Normal championship by defeating the Cheney Savages 31-7 at their annual grid clash which was the feature of the latter's homecoming celebration, last Saturday. Ellensburg, having gone through an undefeated season, holds a practically undisputed claim to the Northwest minor college title. The Wildcats played superior football and had little difficulty in winning although Cheney was always a threat. Ellensburg's best ground gainers were her end runs, Robinson, halfback, starring..Early in the second half he scored a touchdown as the result of a forty-five-yard dash around end. The visitors were able to hit the center of the Cheney line for steady gains. Cheney's score came on a long pass, Turner to Davis. Turner, Savage captain, was the bright light for the losers. Ellensburg scored four touchdowns, a field goal, and-a safety, which came in the first half as the result of a bad pass from center. The standing of the teams is as follows: • ..' Won Lost Pet. Ellensburg 2 0 1.000 Bellingham 1 1 .500 Cheney . 0 2 .000 The Low Down B Y NORBY It seems as though "Rip" Hansen has. been handed an objectionable and not at all characteristic cognomen. 'Rip," according to the best authorities on English such as Webster and Dan Beighle is, a thoroughly worthless and vicious fellow, an idle, disreputable person. ..The worthlessness of course applies to the young Ana-cortes lad but no man can justifiably accredit him with indulging promis-cously in viscious mental or physical behaviorizations. * • • • Sully and Bill Star "Wilson Creek" Sullivan, as he is affectionately known, and Bill Morse, former Edison star and bench warmer at the U. of W .

There are four entrants in the league, games being played every Wednesday. All games are played in the Y. M. C. A. gym, two games being played on. each of the scheduled nights.

Due to the muddy condition of the field, fumbles-were frequent and a line plunging attack, only, netted yardage. With but ten minutes left, to play, Walt Miller, stellar halfback, carried the ball for 20 yards to the five-yard line, and from here, he bucked the ball across for a touchdown. In the final moments the ball was brought to Mount Vernon's one-yard line, but time' prevented another goal. Next Saturday, Whatcom goes to Arlington to mix with their high school eleven.

Perhaps the new school song will appear in time to be christened by the Men's Glee club Now that sixt y dollars is in the field, it is no wonder that a few more have joined t h e several who are beginning to mould the needed composition. There is still plenty of time to begin. See the Viking of January 4th for rules. A big college back East i s offering only $25.00 for a new school song. ——W. S. N. S. - College education was once cheap, but those days are., gone., forever. Fifteen years ago, daring the prewar days, a student could live in hurary with $1.75.. according., to statistics compoled daring the war... •i Those were the days when a student1 could swagger into., a., lunch wagon near the campus and partake of a small steak for the sum of five cents, and finish his meal with' a dish of ice cream at three, cents a throw. If a student felt flush, he., could order a porterhouse for twenty cts., and on Sunday he could have roast chicken for a quarter and chicken a la king, for one dime. W. S. N. S. Seattle, Wash—Something new in t h e way of campus committees has recently appeared on the University of Washington campus. Criticism committee and unanimous faculty support of the' movement has been voiced by President M. Lyle Spencer. "Our faculty is tremendously serious in its desire to learn the wishes and needs of the students/' he pointed out, "and there isn't a member on the entire faculty who will not be glad for honest opin- .ions from students on what they think are the needs of our curriculum." ' —'- W. S. N. S.. Featuring • in the coming assemblies for the week, Miss Virginia Strong, twenty-yearrold Seattle soprano, will offer, a varied program on Friday, the 25th. Miss Strong's training, so far, has been directed by her mother, a former member of the State College at Pullman, and also on the. faculty of the Cornish School of Music. Miss Strong is a sister of Viviion Strongheart who made her debut at the Aoelian Hall and is now singing in New York. She has sung here before having appeared here in the Spring of '27. She has a striking personality and holds her audience well.

Showalter, State' Superintendent Elect, Introduced Measures Which Were Endorsed. TENOR IS TO L Arthur Johnson Creates Usual Enthusiasic Response; Presents AH American Program. Arthur Johnson, who presented an all-American program in his recital in last Tuesday morning's assembly, was accorded the enthusiastic reception that he is always able to command in this school. The program that Mr. Johnson presented was divided into three groups: the first consisted of three numbers of the older, more conservative American music; Negro spirituals comprised the' second group; and the third was made up of four more modernistic selections. Familian Numbers "Thy Beaming Eyes" by Edward MacDowell was probably the loveliest of Mr. Johnson's first group. Although this number is fairly well known, the artist's interpretation of it was extraordinarily beautiful. The other two numbers of this group were unusual settings of the familiar poems, "Thou Art So Like a Flower" by Heine and Browning's "The Year's at the Spring." Negro spirituals are always mov- (Continued on Page Four) o ABSENCE COMMITTEE MEETS JANUARY 15 Some Students Lose Their Credits; Vacant Assembly Seats Cause.

According to the rules, a deduction in credits is made for unexcused absences. There have been about sixty students reported to the committee who might be subject to a cut. Some'failed in subjects so that no deduction in credit can be made. A list of students who are subject to a cut in credits was posted on the bulletin board, affording them an opportunity to meet with the committee. A number did appear and some errors were 'corrected. Under the rules, students absent six times are cut one credit in that class or if they are absent a total of fifteen times in all classes are given a general reduction of, one credit, not specifying any particular course. About twenty students received these penalties. The attendance committee made no attempt to meet before the grades were given out, since the fall report of absences was not available:-.

Miss Delia L. Keeler represented the Faculty Forum of the Belling-ham State Normal school at the regional meeting of the Washington Educational Association in Seattle, Saturday, January 12. At this meeting N. D. Showalter, state superintendent elect, introduced a number of measures which were, indorsed and are to be presented to the state legislature. The school finance measure provides for elementary and high school funds to be raised by a state wide tax of twenty-five cents; a county tax of ten cents for elementary schools fifteen cents for junior high schools, and twenty.cents for high schools; the district is to raise the remainder of the tax. This would place fifty per cent of the school support on the state, twenty-five per cent on the county, and twenty- five per cent on the district. The state tax would be raised three and one half mills, and the county tax on the average of one mill by this measure. The maximum school tax would be reduced from twenty to fifteen mills. Administration Measure The school administration measure provides for a county board of education composed of five members. The county,.superintendent elected by the board will have more authority and duties similar to the superintendent of city school systems. The minor measure provides for an amendment to the constitution omitting the election of the state superintendent and providing for a state board of education, one of their duties being to select a state superintendent. The whole plan places more responsibility on the state officers, as well as securing greater support from the state. Fowler Eected New President Faculty Forum Herbert E. Fowler was elected president of the Faculty Forum, succeding Miss Emma S. Erickson, at the meeting held Tuesday, January 15. Other officers elected were: Miss Jessie H. Merchant, secretary-treasurer; Miss Emma S. Erickson, delegate to the legislative assembly of the Washington Educational Association; and Miss Mary E. Rich, member of executive committee. Miss Delia L Keeler, who represented the Faculty Forum at the regional meeting of the Washington Educational Association held in Seattle, Saturday, January 12, gave a report" of the proceedings of the meeting.

Miss Ragland has been supervisor of the city school student teachers in the upper grade. curriculum for the past three and half years. Previous to coming here she had been co-operating teacher in the Cincin-ati schools having supervision of the fifth year students of the University of Cincinnati, who teach one half of the time in the public schools. She is a graduate o fthe Miami University, Oxford, Ohio; and received her master's degree from Columbia University. Ohio being her home state, Miss Ragland has many acquaintances and friends to welcome her return, home. Cincinnati is situated on the Ohio River. According to Miss Ragland, the surrounding country, while not treeless and not without hills, like most places possesses its own peculiar charm, yet the West with its mountain peaks, lakes and forests beside the waters of Puget Sound has an irresistible charm to most people who come to BeUingham. t "I have had many thrills and interesting experiences out here in the West," she stated. "Seeing pussy( willows «blooming in December, roses on the table at Christmas time, and crocuses during the last days of January are things I shall never forget. This made it very hard for me to make a decision." Miss Ragland has done an outstanding piece of work in her connection with the upper grade student teachers in - t h e city and her leaving is regretted very much. Her place will be taken by Miss Elsie Wendling from Columbia University. o Luncheon Given to Nurse Specialist Dr. Mary Dabney Davis, nursery, kindergarten and primary specialist for the Bureau of Education in Washington, D.

V JOHN D O E A T T E N D S NORMAL John Doe came to Bellingham Normal for athletics. Of course he thought that perhaps incidentally he would acquire some education, knowledge that might some day be drawn upon should the occasion arise which demanded such extreme effort; but primarily he had come to participate athletically as well as socially. John registered for the subjects offered, because they were required, rather than for any particular desire to digest their contents. He expended a minimum of effort on his assignments, but being endowed with a mental ability which rated an intelligence quotient of " A " , he was able to survive the examinations and receive average grades. Things went along smoothly and pleasantly for some time! During his( second year he was required to take several courses in Education. Much to his surprise his grades began to jump up a bit. Almost without a realization" of the fact he was actually becoming interested to a certain degree, and was beginning to think, of course not very deeply, but we may say he used his mind to a slight extent on rare occasions. Before very long he began to realize the meaning of some of these things that lie hidden elusively beneath this big word "Education". Next he was faced with that almost difficult task of* all questions to 1 answer, ''shall I really journey into the unknown depths of the training school and do my student teaching?" Since John was one of these daring young men who occasionally remark that they will try anything once, he cast his ballot in favor of the three-month training school term, a rash decision, but a noble one. To cut a lengthy story off abruptly, we might say that John Doe actually liked teaching, and since graduation has gone to the top by leaps and bounds. He is now one of our foremost educators; this one time shiftless student who carelessly picked a straw from the straw stack of education, and.found it actually interesting. TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY YEARS : AGO THE HARVARD LIBRARY WAS STARTED WITH 400 BOOKS. AND TODAY THE HARVARD LIBRARY HAS NEARLY; THREE MILLION VOLUMES. THE . ANNUAL AVERAGE INCREASE I S PLACED AT ABOUT 65,000 VOLUMES^ _ W S. N; S. Pullman Wash.—According to the Washington State Evergreen, W. S.. C, an approximate total of 37,000 books per month are read by State college students,:. Of these 37,000, about 14,500 are periodicals, and an equal number., are., special reserve Ibooks assigned by instructors, and the remainder, of 8,000, are books taken from the main desk. Of this number only 93 took away books on general subjects. Literature ranks first in the survey having 79 adherents on the average as against 68 for sociology. Third place goci to history with 59.:. Only nine were moved to read about religion on the day the count was taken. W. S. N. S- — Quadrangles, familiarly called quads, have long been the main building layouts of eastern schools. They have been proven highly efficient, symmetrical, and beautiful. Still they are increasing in popularity, for school after school in the east is ordering the quad. Good examples of such can be found at the University of Chicago,. Yale University just yesterday gave contracts for four of them. Mid-western colleges are pushing their buildings together, bending in their terraces, and moving their out-of-the-way structures toward a common hub. But it has not been until here of late that western institutions have taken cognizance of this square. The College of Puget Sound is aiming at the quad idea in their extensive building program which will run over a period of about twenty-five years. Washington State college has had it for nearly thirty years. And now the University of Washington has seriously considered a quadrangle to be centered around its traditional 'frosh pond." Washington has already., a., good start' with its new Physics building and new library as bulwarks... The proposed missing links will be asked of the 1929 state legislature. Canadian colleges have the foursquare also, especially in' eastern Canada. ~ Several quads are being gradually-built by the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Their campus, winch is very extensive, yet much in the rough .will be one of the structural beauties of the Pacific Coast a few years from now. o We've come to the conclusion that the gardeners had high hopes of profiting by nature when the windstorm blew a tree down on the campus last quarter.—But after waiting in vain for a like accident, they have decided to give up and cut down the others. —. o MflfWVWWVflftfWWWWWVWWrVW^^^W^r^M^^^^ft Wevnotice in tlie last issue of the school paper another attack on the attitude of the students toward assemblies; What is the purpose of the school paper if not for printing such hews of the school as will interest the students? Are our discourtesies toward these visiting artists unknown to .us? Have we not been told of them before and should we riot be aware of them if possessed of even a mediocre intelligence? Certainly! We know them very well for we have seen an average of three student opinions each quarter to remind us Of them.

It seems that the Rangers jusi came to Bellingham to take a bump on the nose. The same thing happened to them last year, when they were here. * * * * HERE IS MORE POWER TO THE VIKINGS. * * * * , The biggest trouble with this school is that the students are not attending the games. The game last Saturday was a very interesting one to watch. The team merits all the student support that can be mustered. * « * * i . ••*''.. This week the Vikings will meet the Rothchilds Stevedores' quintet from Seattle. This should be a real test of the Viking skill as a hoop team. The Viking teams will need more support or this season will not be a financial success. Last week the gaie receipts weer not even sufficient to reimburse the referee. Things are in a soiry stale when the team-does not get enough support to pay the referee for his services. • $ * * * BIOGRAPHY . They say that McLaughlin is an up-and-comer in the list of hoop prospects. Perhaps it will be well to look into his past for a few minutes and see just how he merits this recognition..:-McLaughlin comes to this instituion from Ballard High, Seattle, where he was chosen as all-city end in football (1927) and all-city guard., in., basketball.. (1928). ''Mac" won his spurs., in., varsity football competition this last football season., on., the Viking squad. Now, Mac is coming to the front and doing his stuff for the Viking basketball squad.. And he looks like a sure winner. * * * * Vanadis Bragi further increased their hold on the cellar position in the intramural race for the bunting. * . * * * The Bragi playing was char-acterizd by a decided lack of team passing and co-operation. Also, there was no great amount of interest shown on the part of the losers. * * * « The Men's club were right up and coming. They won the game from the Bragis by a three to one score. ....If Osborne of the Bragi team will take a tip from us, he would do well to step in a box of resin before going onto the floor to play basketball. * * * * One was reminded of a cat riding the back of a large dog, when Osborne tried to climb the back of Johnny Cathers, star guard for the Men's club. * * * * THAT IS BAD POLICY "OZZY". * * * * / / is suggested that the league purchase non-skid shoes for those who find it difficult to stand-up on the gym floor.

Tony Gritsch ter, but should be able to handle their share of the game. Clark, Thorsen, arid Benson, Viking guards, ^ are all experienced, heady guards and can be expected to give the Rothschild forwards Friday, Jan. 18, at the Whatcom gym, the Vikings will tangle with the fast Rothschild quintet, of Seattle.' Rothschilds, this year, have one of the two best teams in Seattle, so will give the Vikings plenty of opposition. The Rothschild team is composed, entirely of former U. of W. lettermen numbering among them Alfie James, who last year was picked as All Coast guard. Playing the other guard position will be Johnny Dalquist. At center is ' posted Antoncich, picked by- experts as the peer of the Northwest centers. Gritch and Peek complete the visiting line-up. The Vikings are traveling at a fast pace as was demonstrated last week against St. Martin's. Alfie McClurken, McLaughlin "and Odell form an exper-iencd, shifty trio of forwards. Dixon and Anderson at center will get plenty of opposition from Antoncich, opposing cen-plenty of trouble. A large crowd is expected out to see the game which should prove to be the basketball treat of the season. Girls' Basketball Getting Under Way Get Acquainted With the Game; Don't Be Like the Fellow in This Story A whistle shrieks! A crowd yells. Then silence. A man clad in white tosses a brown spheroid in the air from the center of the floor. Two human forms jump after it. One hits it. One misses. Eight others make a mad rush for it. One fellow gets it. He passes it to another fellow. Two fellows grab it. The whistle screeches again. The referee again tosses, the ball into the air. This time from the corner of the floor. And again two shiny bodies jump. And again the ball is caught by some other fellbw. He throws the ball at the crowd. Just in time to save the crowd from disaster, another player catches it. He throws it at the crowd on the other side of the floor. Again the referee fellow blows the whistle. But too late! The ball already has gone into the crowd. Nobody hurt. A fellow takes it and throws it to one of his teammates. OH! It's in the air! Swish! Whistle!" The referee holds up his right hand showing two fingers. What's that mean? Oh, I see. He meant it took two men to put it through the net. But look! They are starting all over again! What it the idea? Didn't tha^t fellow do it right? Funny thing that those two fellows in the center of the floor don't catch "the ball when that referee tosses it into the air. Boy! What a mad scramble. Those fellows running their heads off. That person clad • in white, chasing them around as a Shepherd dog does the cows. All they seem to think about is get that ball. Then one .of them throws it. At the net under the ring. At the crowd. Or at one of the fellows on trie floor . { T h e y must be angry with one another. Someone of them yells at another. Somebody chases him. He tries to get away. Can't do it, Another fellow throws the ball at his back.. The coward.

It is action. It is thrilling. Interest is there. Even the one who can see no point to the game, can get a thrill out of,, basketball. Whether his team is ahead or behind, the thrill is there. There is one thing that is mentioned in the above that is missing from our Normal school contests. There is no crowd into which the player can throw the ball. It is very evident that to someone, according to the foregoing sketch, a basketball game is no more than a mad scramble. Yet interest is - there. So let us, you and I, get together on this basketball situation and see that there are some spectators at the game this week at Whatcom Hi, to help cheer the Vikings on to another victory T h e y need and merit your support. Whether you know anything about the game or not, be there and someone will be kind enough to give you some pointers on the side. I thank you. _ -o— — This quarter girls' basketball has been divided into two sections. Monday and Wednesday nights in the big gym, enough girls turned out for four teams. A captain has been chosen for each one of these teams and they are: Fern Hall, Burdett Harlen, Beatrice Johnson and Joyce Arnold. Catherine Foster is the basketball manager. Tuesday and Thursday nights there is a basketball turnout in the little gym. Helen Turula and Margaret Shepherd are he captains and Reba Moore the manager. Teams Lack Accuracy There is a great deal of interest and enthusiasm shown in basketball this quarter. The girls have been turning out faithfully in large numbers and this promises to be one of the best basketball seasons we've ever had. The girls have been doing some fast playing but they lack accuracy. They are now being coached to make their plays more accurate, for speed is nothing without accuracy.

It will boast a depot and train, schoolhouse with playground apparatus, church, garage, service station, fire hall and residences. Also we must not forget to mention the farmhouse and barn with live stock and farm machinery. The city will be constructed out of blocks, clay and paper, and each child will carry out his own ideas in his own way. Some difficulties arise since children haven't had as much experience as some, of our engineers, but it is seldom that a failure to reach some solution of the problem occurs, so in about a week the city will be complete. The name will be announced in a later issue of the Viking. — o THOMAS MANOR Catherine Smith Other Officers are Audrey Gwinnett, Edith Dyer, and Art Cram; Club Starts Them Off Right The Debate club started the winter quarter program with a lively meting Tuesday night in Room 120. The meeting was opened, with a comic rendition of a children's fairy dance, acted by Stanley Craft and Arthur Cram. Two piano selections by Miss Edith Dyer ,and a piano duet by two members of the club who, requested their names withheld. The musical program ended with a few minutes of informal group singing. The business meeting was called to order by the president, and election of officers took place. After a lively campaign Stanley Craft was pronounced victorious as presidential candidate. Andrey Gwinnett, retiring president, was elected vice president; Edith Dyer, secretary-treasurer; and Arthur Cram, Viking reporter. As is the custom in Debate club, the successful candidates were immediately tested out for efficiency. A lively, involved parliamentary session was held, and our new president ably demonstrated his executive ability, and the secretary frantically kept the books. A motion by Ray Craft, that Herbert Hoover, be made an honorary associate member of the Debate club, was lost for want of a second, and a motion to distribute the treasury funds among the members present was declared impossible, due to lack of funds The meeting adjourned at eight-thirty. —Art Cram, reporter. o— VIKING MANOR The four inmates of Viking Manor held their first house meeting Tuesday evening, electing as follows, president, Willetta Booth, social chairman, Kate Peterson.

'•'.''''' Quoting from Ellsworth Lumley, alumnus, who is a prominent authority of bird iore: ^ I IX this Normal was a working hird sanctuary with thousands of Ibirds visiting it, every year, and several hundred pairs of birds nesting — here every spring, such magazines as:, Birdlore, Nature, Saturday Eve- . nihg Post, American and the Na-tional Geographic would publish articles upon the activities of this ^ •school in -piwmoting:life2 .: Thousands of birds are flockihg to Bellingham, but not to Belling- "mun Normal. They are found elsewhere. Chicadees, snowbirds, swallows and sparrows and flocks of robins are seen feeding along the slopes of Normal hill in the ash trees. The feather-breasteds have come from the country to the city and have remained confined to the downtown portion of the city. Training school grades have helped feed them along Huntoon drive and along the library walk, but greater assistance is needed at once. While happy Vikings vie with sled, skii and skate, scores of these feathered mites soar above—hungry! This is an appeal to some member of the Board of Control that something of relief be tendered our friends immediately. ' The executive board and committees for the freshman dance which is to be given Friday, February 15, in the big gym, have been chosen. The idea for the dance is "Queen of Hearts," which will be carried out. in appropriate and beautiful Valentine colors and designs. The main feature of the party will be the election of a Queen of Hearts and her two attendants who will reign over the evening's festivities. The qualifications for the queen-to-be are: beauty, poise and popularity. . ' i Petitions Posted Petitions will be posted for nominees on the bulletin board today. Tuesday", after the regular assembly— the freshmen will hold'a short meeting when nominations from the floor will be in order: After a week's campaigning the candidates will be introduced•hi assembly Tuesday, February 13, and voting will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday. Dues will be,collected when the votes are cast. Tickets are given with dues receipts and will be required as admittance tickets to all class functions. Those who have not paid dues and received tickets will hot be admitted to the dance. DOROTHY ADAMS Nance, which is played by Dorothy Adams in' the forthcoming Moroni/Olsen production, "Autumn Fire" by T. C. Murray, is both a quaint and lovable character. This i s 'a comparatively new play to be added to the repertoire of these players, and promises to be one of their best. Miss Adams is to be remembered for her fine interpretation of Minnie in "Expressing Willie", the play put on by the Moroni Olsen players last quarter. She is always an outstanding character in any cast, and is prized for her adaptability and her sympathy in no matter how difficult a role. 10 I 'Real Progress' -W. S. N.

Below is a rare print of the Washington Ramblers who have condescended to play. The rest (motif and features) is a mystery. We marvel at the scientist, toe speak with veneration, but how We wish he would spend some time on the youngr er generation. We're clothed in silk from sawdust hills, our cotton s artificial, but if science could pay our "Co-op" hills, we'd call that beneficial. There's a rubber patch in our own back yard and radium will soon be cheap, but oh, if we coudl find a place to park the family "heap!" The farmer throws the corn away and saves the husks and shocks, and every noble tree we pass, just makes us think of socks ;\ the nut grove is a pail of lard in which We fry our hay, but science would gain our lasting regard if a "D" would resemble an "A". Second Concert of Series to be Given February 6, in the Norma! Auditorium; Varied Program. DRAMA CLUB PLAYMARCH .7-8 After the decision to present this quarter's Drama club play two nights running, the dates finally chosen were Thursday and Friday, March 7 and 8. The play, "Seven Keys to Baldpate" by George M. Cohen, is being blocked out by the director, Victor H. Hoppe, and many tricks of production are being originated to insure a successful result/' V An entirely new set is planned for the rather unusual requirements of the play, and will be constructed by the class in play production under the direction of Mr. Hoppe with the assistance., of Herbr ert C. Ruckmick of the industrial arts department and Miss Marie Cary Druse of the art department. The plot of the play is a thrilling one, woven around' the mysterious Baldpate Inn//-which is located on the top of a mountain. There is 'only one key to this inn—at least each of the seven persons wlw own a key think so until they all meet 'at the inn. ; „ \ ;.;' This -., play has everything neces-, sary to make it a really good mystery play \; shots in ^ the J dark, screams,';.: hermits • and;; ghosts, a stormy night and;[most important of: all, a good, jold^fjashioned mur--; der iwith lots of bloody "Seven Keys to ^Baidj^^^.;bis^ an;' -i^aptabllity tli^J^^tkk»^wl^ Under the direction of Harrison Raymond, the Singers' club, which is cpmposed- of ~ tne finest' mens voices, in Bellingham, will present the second of their group of three concerts on Wednesday, February 6, at 8:15, in the Normal auditorium.

Showalter;s educational bill which is now before the state legislature, was the topic of a discussion led by Lloyd Mabon in room 115 on Tuesday, -January 29. There were about thirty people, including faculty and students, present. The measure provides for a county board of education which is to select a county superintendent, whose duties will correspond close-. ly to those of the city board of education. Finance Measure Another important feature of the measure is to change the manner of raising school funds. Under this olan fifty per cent of the school ?und would be raised by the state; twenty-five per cent each by the district.and the county. The twelve-month contract was of much interest to students. Under this plan the teacher's-time during vacation would be required by the district. The advantage of this feature is that the standards of the teaching profession would be raised. Diplomas Overlap Perhaps 'the most vital point of interest to future' teachers is the tact that graduates of the University of Washington and the State College would be granted diplomas enabling them to teach in junior high schools. This may cause a surplus of junior high school teachers. Miss Delia L. Keeler brought up the point that our salvation lies in the fact that" we will be able to prepare our students so much better that schools will prefer normal graduates. Teachers, without experience will be cadets under supervisors. To become a nominee it would be necessary to have one's credentials passed upon by the county board of education before applying in the district schools. The bill has been changed in a great many ways since it was first presented. . ; ° • Staff Anxious for Klipsun Snapshots v'.~(i#S«Jfc :; e^:Mana^rsb^||3||p Must be ;Wrii^-;arti| JF^owe^|b7p|J j Pereonal Appearance at Meeting. ; .

Finley . Genevieve Warren Roy Sundstrom f T H E PASSING OF THE LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE The time has now arrived when we can say goodbye to the little red school house which has been a feature in American life for so many years. According to a Seattle paper a report from the bureau of education of the department of the interior shows that consolidated rural schools have been replacing one-teacher schools in the United States at a rapid rate (during the past decade. In 1920 there were 189,000 one-room schools; in 1926 this number had shrunk to 161,000 and is continually growing less. . • • ' ' • . •• V The modem school bus which can bring children from widely separated farms to the door of the school house is a big factor in the change. The consolidated school can do the job better from the standpoint of education as well as general health and comfort. MAYBE THE PROF WAS RIGHT Near the beginning of this school an instructor of history made the remarks in his classes to the effect that a deplorable few of us actually useel the library. It is more deplorable than ever when we note th fact that the. state spent over a quarter of a million in building the edifice with such; a few to benefit from the investment. It is safe to say that a very small per cent of us spend regular time at this building. Students have, however, two good excuses for not using the library as often as should be: that tests are getting easier and easier; and, that the weather is too cold. - B u t as a remedy the faculty would promise us harder exams, and the weather- is bound to become more clement within a few days. Our ex-cuses are poor ones. As a suggestion why not take a daily census counting the number using that institution, and the number of books checked out? —G. W. L. Raying s We have heard little so far this quarter of that intangible some-thin? known as school spirit, but never a quarter passes but- that, someone rises to inquire just why B. S. N. S. hasn't any. It won't be long, now, so we are offering the inquisitive ones the use of our col' anus when that time conies when 'hey can no langer restrain their .suriosity. And as an aid to those who may be wondering about it (both stu dents and faculty) we offer pur definition.

Sinclair Lewis has written another book, and though it isn't out yet, we have the publisher's blurb at hand and can give you a much better (?) review than if we had written it ourselves, after reading the book. Here it is: The new book "Dodsworth" will be published March ]4th. Here Sinclair Lewis writes about an American he likes, and leaves behind that acid satire for which his earlier novels are famous. The reader, too, will like Sam Dodsworth and his beautiful wife, Fran, maddening and appealing. Sam Dodsworth has sold out his successful automobile business and he and his wife, at her urging, go for an indefinite slay in Europe, to get some of the fun and cultivation they feel they have missed. The book is the story of these two and how they gel along in their new surroundings. It raises the question of what our able business men are going to do with their leisure when they have made their "little pile" and retired. It shows a Europe which is quite different from the place of our dreams—all romance, cultivation and charming foreigners. It is a, Europe where travelers can be thrilled some of the time but lonely and "lost" also. It is a novd of marriage, too, its confusions, Us endeavors, perhaps Us futility. EDITOR'S NOTE: . Dear readers, we know that if you have the least spark of .sympathy in your make-ups you will pity the poor lads who have written the prattle below, seemingly for publicity, announcing their ignorance as to the true function, of a school paper. 1 have printed the article word for word as the irate gentlemen Have Written it. I apologize, dear, readers, for subjecting you to the reading of such ah ignorant jumble of unfounded epithets and also for the unmerciful treatment pf the English language (the past of hang is not hung). As I say, (his article is being published, just as written, and while some of the epithets may actually characterize us, . I am somewhat surprised at the lack of diplomacy on the part of one of these irate gentlemen whose journalistic rating is largely dependent upon the clemency of the editor. That student opinion signed "Irate Subscriber" published in the Viking of two weeks ago, aroused more protest than we bargained for. Nevertheless/granting that it was hurriedly and poorly written, those are still our sentiments, however ineffectually they may have been expressed.

Harry is now Vikings, having earned his sweater last year and the year before... Heb received his early athletic education in prancing around the frozen, snow-covered school grounds of Benton City. Benton City, as you all know, is a small suburb of Yakima, and until the scrappy Heb and his brother George came to Bell-ingham, littles was known about their home town. As an athlete, Harry is right up in the running- among the first class men. Though not very tall, he is a tower of strength to the Viking squad. He is one of the closest and hardesth checking guards in the Tri-Normal circuit. * *' * * CLASS B NOTES Jayoees are now holding down the second berth in the 3 league race. * * * « A forfeit to the Y.

A fast, hard fighting Viking quintet dropped a "tough" game to the '*?* t w o ^ ^ U. of W. Frosh, 34-31, on the Fair-haven court last night. Inability to connect with the hoop in the few final moments of play cost the Vikings the game, as the Frosh, getting the ball used the "old army game" and played for the "gun" to end the struggle. It was the speedy Viking forward, "Zeke" McClurken, that carried off the high point honors of the evening. His total was 13 points, while his team-mate, Ray Odell, rang the hoop for 10 markers. The game "see-sawed" from one ~ide to the other, and kept the i _ n s _ c l u b . b y a score of 32 to 7. arge crowd on edge.

The first.Trains school assembly of the quarter was held last Friday, January 25. Assembly hour is an especially happy hour of the week for the pupils and since they had not met for many weeks their program was unusually fine and well prepared. It was composed of music by the first and second grades and a talk by President Fisher. The first grade pupil's contribution consisted of orchestral rendition of a Brahms waltz and Le Secret by Gautier. The orchestra consisted entirely of percussion instruments such as tambourines, drums made of paper boxes, triangles, wood blocks, sticks and. a snare drum. - Poems appropriate to the season written by. Frank Dempster Sherman and other poets were read by the children of the second grade. The -talk on planning a city by President Fisher made an impression on the more practical-minded pupils of the upper grades especially. He pointed out some facts concerning the engineering problems involved in providing room for many people in crowded business sections of cities. DRAMATIC READER GIVES SHAKESPEARE Hamlet, Katherine, and Ophelia Live Again on the Stage When Sarah Traux Albert Beads. Sara Truax Albert, who gave sev-^ eial Shakesperian readings in last" Tuesday's assembly, was received with enthusiastic applause for her eloquent dramatic ability. ... Mrs. Albert has appeared before Normal school audiences twice before, reading several modern plays in her other recitals. In this, appearance, if Shakespeare's characters- never lived for us before, they certainly became a reality by her impersonation of them. Dramatic Ability Shown She first gave the "Trial Scene" from Shakespeare's "King Henry vril." Queen Catherine's anguish and heart-rending appeals and the Cardinal Woolsey's stern rebukes found a sincere expression in Mrs. Albert's characterizations, ,« The well-known balcony scene from "Romeo and Juliet" took on a new significance when it was so vividly portrayed by Sara Truax. Two readings from "Hamlet" climaxed her performance. In the first scene she played the part, of Hamlet, portraying this part with all the fire of a Sara Bernhardt. Mrs. Albert showed her fine dramatic qualities in her rendering of the mad scene of Ophelia. The exhibition proved conclusively her merited popularity here. Unique Experiment Is Performed in Science Miss Leona Sundquists's IB Science classes visited the X-Ray laboratory of Dr. A. M. \ Warren on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. After discecting the irogs on Monday night the classes were anxious to see a human being. Two girls arid two boys from each class went without their iuncheon so that their digestive organs could be seen functioning more clearly through the fluoroscope. Those taking the examination drank a glass of barium meal and the students watched it go down the oesophagus into the stomach. Miss Hilda Rosene is hoping that her class will be able to visit the X-Ray laboratory after they have discected the frogs which will probably be done some time next week.

Blanche Warlowe was' a dinner guest, on Sunday, of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Milton. » The appearance of Virginia Strong, coloratura soprano, on Friday, January 25, gave her audience a varied and intensely interesting program. Miss Strong has a smooth voice which has all the necessary qualities to hold her audience. She combines the richness in her tonal reproductions with a complete understanding of the music she interprets. Miss Strong began her program with the Aria "Non So Piu" by Mozart, and followed it with two soft soothing numbers by Salvator Rosa. The first of these, the "Selve, Voi che le speranze" is a beautiful selection, and has as its base a sad and morose theme. In her second group the outstanding number was "Hark, Hark, the Lark", by Schubert, and it was well received. French Song Favored j Perhaps the most exquisite and lovely selection was the Chanson de Marie Antoinette", by Myron Jacobson. In this lively, brilliant bit of melody Miss Strong excells. She seemed to give the spark necessary in rendering the selection and it received a tremendous ovation. Debussy's "Mandoline" brought the program to a close. This number is very quaint and- unusual in its effects. As an encore, Miss Strong sang the effervescent "Chanson de Marie Antoinette," again. Virginia Strong has a personality which appeals to all who hear her, and her appearance gave the students and faculty a pleasant assembly hour. by Miss Wilson Prompted by curiosity, after seeing all the reports oh the library bulletin board, one would like to go to the office tol find-the reason for the supposed "election returns" Results of such an expedition would show that the library instruction class last fall had filled out unusual questionnaires, and that a number of these responses have been compiled and posted. Questionnaire Unusual The questionnaire fulfilled a twofold aim: first, to gauge the level of. student thinking in order to plan a general reading campaign; secondly, to get students to study themselves. By questions such' as this, "What is the most compelling idea you have encountered in the past twelve months?" and others, the compiled results show the high levels of thought attainable by the class as a whole. Under each topic question were a number of rigid cross questions which show definitely the reading levels. The 'casual observer might think the questionnaire was a mixture of profound questions but it has been very much worth while. "Who. is your favorite author?" and "What is your favorite song?" added a light touch to the course. The instructor is extremely pleased over the standard set by the four hundred and thirty-five people who were in her class. o— Graduates Placed by Appointment Bureau The International Relations discussion group met last Saturday at the-Montague McHugh tea room. Mr. Ralph P. Loomis talked on the "Financial Liquidation of War" in an interesting manner. The subject is important because there will be a new conference in Europe in the near future to discuss this entire question. The government of the United States will not be represented hi the conference, but Mr. Owen D. Young arid Mr. J. P.

'^^{Ms^m VOL; XXIX—NO. 28 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON T DINNER DRESS HEALTH SERVICE CLAIRVOYANCE INCLUDING YE DIARY —Ray Craft .1 We have heard no little discussion lately regarding whether the men of t h e school should regale themselves in dress clothes for the quarterly in-formals. This question lias become particularly important since a number of Normal's men have appeared at the dances dressed in the more formal mode. There should, gentlemen, be some unanimity in this matter of dress, because, for any considerable number of students to adopt dinner clothes would be productive of vicious consequences. Normal is proudly becoming recognized as an institution where education is acquired with a minimum of expense, where the student standard of living is modest and an affectation of wealth considered in poor taste. In numerous other schools where an exacting standard of social life has been adopted, the more indigent members of the student body have found themselves hard pressed to maintain themselves with dignity. Gentlemen! Let's get together on this. If a few more of the fellows "dress" for dances, we will all want to. Although dinner clothes are not particularly expensive, two-bits looks like a dollar to most of us. Just remember that the fifty dollar bill it would take to outfit yourself modestly would buy so many liam-and-eggs that, if laid end to end, they would reach all the way down to the.Hotel Leopold. W. S. N. S. And now that we are dealing with the problems of the men, we might just as Well dedicate Normalite to the cause of righting a serious grievance... According to investigators, the amount of health service received by the men of the school is not great enough to warrant the expenditure every registration of two dollars per capita. ' Among other things, the registration fee for men should be just about half that asked of the ladies, because of the very nature of the brute—man is the stronger of the species. Because of enjoying more robust health and not being subject to the petty ills that take up the attention of the health personnel, the men lose at once a good part of their fee by buying a service they seldom have use for. Furthermore, the whole set-up of our Nurse's Office is obviously to drive the men from making any use of the privilege to which they are entitled... The most helpful move would be to bring the nurse's office from the place of concealment it now enjoys in the "Women's Wing" of the building to a some more accessible place, where even the most decorous might go to report his illness without feeling that he is encroaching upon the sanctuary of the ladies—God Bless 'Em! -W. S. N. S.— Ha! A couple of weeks ago Normalite, under the old regime, prophesied that grade school pupils would soon be given two report cards: One to record/ scholastic attainment, and the other to judge character development. Not that we are clairvoyant- or anything, but witness this excerpt from last week's Viking —''Training Students Given New Cards—These Cards Grade Character of Pupils and Emphasize Work Done in Comparison with Their Ability, etc., etc." W.

ART DEPARTMENT LAUDED Chairman Says Board Has Power to Extend Song Contest, But Will Probably Not Exercise It. A committee on publicity for the Song Contest was appointed this week to climax the closing month of the campaign for a new school song with an active educational campaign. The committee consisting of Edith Dyer, Jean Philippi, Francis Young, and Edith Boynton, have placed a bulletin board on the main landing on which have been posted all of the rules of the contest, copies of words submitted to which melodies must be adopted, and the schedule of classes of all of the committee members inorder that they may be found by people who wish to ask questions concerning the contest. For the benefit of the new students, Edith Dyer reviewed the facts of the contest in a short announcement in last Tuesday's assembly, emphasizing the fact that mimeographed copies of the word contributions are available to all of the students who wish to set them to music. "The students last year felt the need of a new school song," Miss Dyer declared, "In view of the fact that the only ones we now have are taken from those of other institutions. The Board of Control sponsored the contest, voted prizes totalling seventy dollars, and threw the contest open to all students and the alumni. In order to give all of the contesting composers time to work out their ideas, the final date was extended until February 28, 1930." May Extend Contest "Although the Board is empowered to extend the contest indefinitely in the event that no suitable material comes in, that power will probably not be exercised, on account of the quality of the work that has been submitted", Miss Dyer said. The art department was particularly commended on the fine work that they have done in making the posters to be placed about the campus, and' the committee declared that the entire student body has co-opera ted. in a way that has been entirely gratifying.' - o FACULTY MEMBERS ATTEND DISCUSSION Are Intelligence Tests, as Now Administered, Good or Bad for Student Morale? Argued Freely. Last Sunday evening's Student Forum was especially interesting though the topic was somewhat heavy. The question discussed was: Are intelligence tests ,as now administered, good or bad for student morale? The students were almost outnumbered by faculty members, many of whom had been specially invited to hear the discussion by members of the program committee of the Student Forum, as there was some likelihood of their good motives being questioned in the choice of such a topic. Fisher Present Notwithstanding the fact that some of the students-were overawed by President C. H. Fisher's presence, and that it was going against the established order of things to suggest any changes, it seems that a number of students concur in the belief that it would be better for student morale if the intelligence grades were kept in the files of the Research Bureau -and not given out either to students or to faculty. Their influence upon the teacher's judgment in awarding grades which were supposed to be based upon the work accomplished was .mentioned. President Fisher was of the opinion that students took their intelligence rating very lightly, but the students did not seem to agree with him thaf this was true. Weber College Team Will Debate Against Normal Mens Squad Tentative debate dates have been set for the men's teams. They are February 18th, Weber College of Ogden, Utah, against the negative team, composed of Quentin Quick and John Thorpe, and March 17th, Oregon State Normal against the affirmative team which has not yet-been selected. Both debates will feature the Oregon or cross-question style of debating. Negotiations are being made with the University of Washington Freshmen and the Seattle College for debates. Later in the season the men's team will probably make a tour, debating the University of Spokane, the College of Puget Sound, and a Seattle team. THIRTYSTUDENTS SUFFER PENALTIES FOR CLASS CUTTING Attendance Committee Meets and Deducts Credits They Deemed Necessary According to the Rules. SEVERAL PROTEST LOSS The attendance committee met last week to consider and clear up last quarter's absences, and deduct any credits they deemed necessary according to the rules. Thirty students suffered penalties from unexcused absences. According to the rules six unexcused absences from a single class or fifteen from classes scattered over different courses means a cut of one credit. Twelve students credits ranging as high as seven, in one case. Eleven suffered a one credit loss from assembly absence, not counting mose who did not have seats assigned and thus automatically forfeited a credit. Some Protest There were protests that some suffered for unexcused absences and others did not, "out the committee applies the one rule to all, and had to rely on the faculty reports which may not have been perfect. In some cases where the rule permitted, they used option in their decisions. It is absolutely necessary that students have assembly seat assignments, unless, of course, they are carrying no more than twelve hours and are listed as special students. In the latter case tliey should report to Miss Inez Swanson in Dean Bev-er's office for excuses. — o BOND ADDRESSES TEACHERS Mr. E. A. Bond of the Mathematics department addressed a group of teachers in Anacortes Thursday night, January 30, on the subject "Our Changing Curriculum". o Symphony Band Gives. Entertaining Concert At Local Playhouse The Carleton Symphony Band, directed by James Robert Gillette, was enthusiastically received by a well-filled house at the Mt. Baker Theatre last Wednesday, both at the grade and high school student's concert in the afternoon and the regular evening concert. The afternoon program contained many interesting and instructive numbers such as "Zampa", by Louis Herold, the answer to the question "Why an Overture?", and "The Parade of the Insturments", by F. L. Lawrence,, which introduced the instruments of a symphony band. Dorothy Ruth Smith, harpist, was the soloist. Wagner Popular Probably, the most widely known and one of the best received of the evening concert was the famous overture to "Tannhauser",- by Richard Wagner. Another selection by the same composer was the colorful and vivid "Fire Music" from "Die Valkyrie".. The evening soloist, a popular young soprano, sang several numbers with a great deal of^ mastery and showed a beautiful range of voice. Though Miss Smith was not slated as an evening solo^ ist she gained great favor with the audience ; when she played a request number, and was called back for two encores: - ' , ''" gt;••'• COAST PIANIST WILL GIVE CONCERT HERE David Campbell Will Accompany His Program With Series of Short Lectures Explaining Selections.

Really, to most of us that statement seems out of place and absurd, but when one has authentic proof that a few of our members were ill-mannered— it begins to take on a different light. It was brought to my attention recently by one of our faculty members for the purpose of using the press to show it to you. The- following in cident took place on the crowded eight o'clock Normal bound street car. "The car was filled and a few were standing when one of our elderly woman faculty members got on the car", she told me, "Not a student rose to give-her a seat but rode blissfully and ignorantly to their destination!" It was Emerson who said, "Life is not so short but that there is always time for courtesy." How true it is. To both the boys and girls of this institution, we say, hold up Normal's high standards of graciousness and don't be guilty of any such Wretched thoughtlessness as the incident cited above. OUR MUSICAL A R T I S T S COURSE . Never before in Normal's musical history have we had two such excellent concerts as we enjoyed this week. The mastery of Efrerc Zimbalist in his violin recital was a musical course in itself. As for the Carleton Symphony Band, we would say after hearing this excellent evening's entertainment, that we are strong backers of the symphony band movement in the United States. • The Normal executives are to be congratulated in obtaining such worthwhile programs for our Musical Artists Course. Most of us feel that if we were not entitled to any more concerts this quarter on our student ticket, we would not complain. T R I - N O R M A L BASKETBALL H E RE Besides the University of Washington Frosh vs. the Vikings tomorrow night, we have two Tri-Normal games scheduled for next Monday and Tuesday. • • i ' Some sport authorities predict that the Washington Babes will be rocked in the cradle of the deep tomorrow night and others fear for the Vikings. At any rate, even if you're n lt;# a Pep club member, you can root for your team. Our big Tri-Normal games coming next week promise exciting moments since the Cheney Savages are training hard to revenge the defeat the Vikings handed. them last week on their own floor. All home games will be played on the Fairhaven floor. Welli here y'are again, studes. Like all good, true journalists we occasionally feel called ..upon to make some remarks about weather. Here's a forecast that we guarantee absolutely. What's more, we'll back it up with our capital of $20,000. Anyone doubting our ability to make good our claims has our permission to apply to the Statesoille Stale Bank, 9999 Stale Street, Slatesville, Arkansas, for a statement of our standing (Don't pay any attention to what they say there. The president is an abominable liar). The weather will continue ex- | actly the same as it has been con- | turning for quite a while now, un- | less, perchance, it is varied by a change, either for the better or for the worse. The temperature is destined to rise rapidly, unlesss it starts to lower, although it may not change at all. The west-bound storm center now., pass., across.. Texas,., although it is but a small storm center, may cause the wind to start blowing here. However, this is not certain. In any case, it is expected that we will have weather, and it will not be unpleasant, that is, not very unpleasant. :J * # * A LITTLE STORY WE HEARD There was once a wise man. He was very wise.

"Boy she sure gave you a dirty look." "Who?", • "Mother Nature." Rammer -Jammer BOOK REVIEW By Myrna Thompson "Hudson River Bracketed", by Edith Wharton (Appleton). Mrs. Wharton's latest book, "Hud son River Bracketed", is, in my estimation, not so ..good as some of her previous work. There Is an effective use of contrasting social conditions throughout the book which may be considered a redeem ing feature by those persons inter ested in sociology, but I agree with Geoffrey T. Hellman when he says in the Bookman: "One prefers the author's earlier books, where one could enter the houses of the wealthy" without having servants, softly shaded lamps, pictures and luxurious furniture-thrown at one in such obvious profusion." The story centers around Vance Weston, an Illinois boy who, to paraphrase O. O. Mclntyre made good in the city. He is a young writer with a fairly good novel to his credit and is employed by a new review. He has signed a contract to write for no other publication for four years which complicates matters considerably' because of the fact that he is married and is unable to support his wife on his small salary. The wife, Laura Lou, seems to be the only real person in the book. She is a country girl and cannot understand any of her husband's thoughts or ambitions. Vance is, in other words, another of these "misunderstood" husbands, and thus enters Halo Tarrant. Halo is a wealthy woman, the wife of the man who runs the review which Vance is under contract to. Mrs. Tarrant makes a great fuss over Vance; he is invited into circles where his wife would never fit. As a consequence, poor Laura Lou is left out of the greater portion of her husbands life, and Vance falls more and more under the spell of Halo Tarrant. Mrs. Wharton writes in an interesting manner as she usually does, but still there is something lacking. Her characters, with the one exception of Laura Lou, have no depth; they are too shallow. Mrs. Tarrant is smug and limited, while Vance never ceases to be anything more than a child. In contrast to these two dull figures the faithful little wife stands out vividly, and I felt a genuine sympathy for her as she faced the realization that her husband has grown beyond her, and that she has nothing to look forward to but death.

M. C. A.; 29 Is Lucky Number. Curious Correspondence Is Highlight of Team's Trip to Eastern Normals 118 POINTS TOTALLED At that, the team didn't do so bad on their trip last week. They split fifty-fifty in their four Tri-Normal games, which is the best that can be expected, considering- t h e unusual strength of t h e Ellensburg' five. The defeat of the Vikings at thV hands of the Yakima Y._M. C. A. was no disgrace''either, since the victorious team [is made up of ex-W: S. C. stars. . The Bellingham victories again it Cheney, Friday and Satur day were also of great credit, to the team, .since it showed their ability to cone back after a series of defeats. Dorit forget that the first Tri- Norml games at home, are scheduled pr next Monday and Tuesday, whenwe have Cheney as our guests. Evey loyal student will, be out to those games and help the team to contiue its string of victories againt the Savages. And nobody can s^ford to miss the Frosh game t o m oW night, either, because that will fe a whole lot more than just a warning up exercise. After a week of* almost continuous travel and playing, a tired squad of Viking Varsity hoopsters returned to Bellingham Sunday. The score book that Coach Sam Carver had tucked under his arm, chalked up two victories for the blue and white out of five encounters. I t showed that Ellensburg took two consecutive games—28-20 and 59-17; that the Yakima Y. M. C. A. scored a 41-29 victory, after a slim 12-9 half-time lead; that Cheney lost Friday night although they led at mid-time 17-14, and then lost again Saturday night 29-23 after a 15-12 mid-way lead. Vikings Behind at Halves The score book also showed that in none of the five battles were the Vikings able to control a lead at the end of the first half. Incidently 14 more points were assembled in the | second halves than in the first parts. The Normalites totalled 118 points or slightly better than 23 points a contest. They had 183 markers made against them or an average of 36 points a game. The scoring of points was as follows: Dixon 37, Thorsen 23, Erick-son 22, Pederson 20, Kasch 13, and Rork 6. In this scoring the Vikings counted only 26 on free throws out of a possible 61. By J. R. Basketball teams are supposed to play basketball but on a week trip they are apt to find other diversions to pass away the time besides battling with rival Normal hoopsters. Aside from winning two games and dropping three the Vikings enjoyed a very pleasant„road trip. "Cold" Kasch, Teacher Nine men pulled out of Seattle Sunday and arrived at Ellensburg rather late that night. Nothing-much happened on this trip except that "cold" Kasch gave several of the boys a lesson on how to play poker. After taking two on. the nose at the hands of the Wildcats, the Vikings took a short journey to Yakima, where they were again defeated by t he Y. M. C. A. We might add that the B. S. N. S. team will probably not stay at the Donnelly hotel in Yakima next year. Cheney Girls Gets Break The team proceeded to Cheney, where they put- up a t the exclusive Cheney hotel. Two victories over the Savages made the Vikings' percentage look a bit better. The team was invited to a Women's Informal, and after this ,was over they left for home. Miller Stars at Poker I t might be interesting to mention how some of the players spent their spare time in the Eastern cities. Ralph Miller, still admits he is the best poker player on the trip, but he says he can't understand how he lost most of the time. "Cold" Kasch spent most of his time eating cinnamon drops and reading detective stories. Dixon Correspondent s Wheri^'Flash" Dixon wasn't reading letters and telegrams he was writing them himself, to whom? Don't ask. Believe it or not, "Minn" Thorsen sent a lock of his hair to a certain young lady. (Along with the help of the rest of the team). Sam Has Tough Time Sam Carver spent most of his time keeping the rest of the team out of trouble. Anyway, it was a swell trip, and we wouldn't have missed it for anything. (Not even our studies). W.

'V Friday evening, January 24, saw the prosaic auditorium turned into a- place of dark mystery with the appearance of. the Moroni Olseri Players in "The Makropoulos Secret." . Prom the time the curtain rose on the first scene to the end of the third act, in which Emilia Marty, the 339-year-old woman, dramatically chooses death to eternal life, the audience was held as if hypnotized. The play merited all praise that had ben given it and the interpretation given it by the Moroni Olsen cast was superb. Secret of Eternal Life Marty's inhuman secret—that of eternal life—is felt in the very be- . ginning of the play, and. about Marty herself there lingers something of the supernatural. She had lived so many lives and run the gamut of human emotions so many times that life lost its savor, nothing meant anything to her, and she became incapable of feeling love or affection for anyone or anything. Finally Chooses Death She finally makes the decision she has feared to make for hundreds of years, and, as has been said, chooses death to life. The climax came with tremendous force upon the audience, and automatically the audience accepted Capek's theory—the danger of immortality in human life. The Cast Many old favorites were seen in the cast of the play. It had Janet Young in the lead role, which she played superbly, giving the most powerful performance in her career Moroni Olsen, the pillar of the players, gave his usual excellent performance, while,Leora Thatcher added the bit of comedy to the production, aided by Joseph Williams. Many Star Cordon Nelson, in the role of young Albert Gregor, did an artistic piece of work. Sumner Chase Cobb, Frank Rasmussen, William Wright, and William Kibby gave unusual performance showing marked ability, characteristic of the players. Dorothy Adams was seen in her usual Irole of the innocent but courageous young thing, which she plays to. perfection while no one could have played the part of the feeble-minded "Hauk-Sendorf", better than Byron Kay Foulger. Joint Direction Moroni Olsen and Byron Kay Foulger are greatly resuponsible for the success in the play on the directing side. The directing, except • for a few obvious places that would be unnoticed except to the trained director, was practically flawless. o Shaw's Play Seen by Several of Faculty ENTERTAINS BROTHER , Miss Marie C.

"I PROPOSE," HE SAID, "THAT THEY KEEP THE NAVY PLAYING EVERY SATURDAY THE YEAR 'ROUND AND BUY THEIR OWN BATTLESHIPS. THAT SAME DAY 75,000 OTHERS IN CHICAGO WERE WATCHING D O Z E N S OF HIGH SCHOOLS AND NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY SETTLE GRID DISPUTES. Twenty-two per cent of Belling- ~ham Normal's enrollment for this quarter are men. This figure, -which means approximately 200 male students, runs along very '. close to figures compiled during t h e last five years. Only a handful of men were on the campus during the years of the war. But since the last decade a much larger increase is noticeable, and even a greater .proportion than the annual enrolment could show. Why? More and more men are looking into educational fields and simultaneously there is also a large demand for this grouping in grammar schools, junior colleges, and special work, such as coaching or manual training instructing. A very large per cent are from state and county points, while a similar number are resident in Bellingham. These of the latter are primarily interested in a liberal education with the purpose of continuing in higher schools of education, and to further continue in some professional line. So much for that. This Week W. S. C. is beginning construction of a $150,000 field house. This proposal which began a year ago will soon be a reality and a valuable supplement to Rogers Field, the renowned Cougar playground. University of Washington just got through with a political rally.

"Expressing Willie" is a charmingly humorous and witty study of a very common phenomenon in American social life today—the successful and intelligent business man who has devoted his talents and energies to aciheving success and, after the struggle begins to relax, begins groping to reach out for a cultural life of a type that he has passed by in the earlier stages of his career. Willie Smith Is Here Willie Smith, the hero of this play, is surrounded by the typical group of sycophants with their varied aims of his money or position or what his influence can achieve for them and who convince him that they have the magic understanding that will open for him the broader life that he fears he has missed in his struggle for material success. In the end however, the longheaded contriving of his mother— who incidentally was . responsible for his business success—opens Willie's eyes to the sham under which his new friends pursue their epr-sonal motives and Willie begins expressing himself joyously and vigorously and according to his own talents and impulses. Byron Kay Foulger, who directed the company's presentation of "Anna Christie" last season, will direct the- production of "Expressing Willie." o : KATHRYN MEISLE DELIGHTS AUDIENCE JANET YOUNG Of the Circuit Repertory Company or the , Moroni Olsen Players, appearing here ; soon in Rachel Crothers' brilliant ; American comedy, "Expressing Willie."; I INFORMAL Ti Nationally Known Artist Is Well Received by Bellingham People. Miss Kathryn Meisle, leading contralto of the Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles .Opera Companies, pleased the Bellingham audience with a striking vocal program ot the First Christian Church Auditorium last evening, November 1. Miss Meisle, who was' presented by the Bellingham State Normal School and Bellingham Woman's Music Club, sang several numbers by Schubert, Rachmaninoff and other well known classical composers. Her interpretation of "Ah Mon Fils" from "Le Prophete" by Meye-beer, was especially pleasing to her hearers. She was accompanied at the Baldwin by Mr. Myron Jacob-son. Miss Meisle made her first professional debut with the Minneapolis Orchestra, under Emil Oberhof-fer in October, 1921. In November, 1923, she was engaged to sing the leading role in the Chicago Civic Opera Company. ti Some of the orchestras who have engaged the talented contralto are: The , New York Symphony, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati and Boston. Miss Nora B. Cummins, Miss Delia Keeler and Mrs.- Victor Hoppe entertained with;.a tea and reception in honor of Mr. and iMrs." E. J. Klemme, Sunday afternoon at Miss . Cummins' home. Intimate friends of the Klemme's were the guests: .'• ; :-'^' )•,•'-——-—-r°-—r~~~\' ••:•"'•'". .'/••• A dollar will go as far as it iised tbj but;'; it! will go much^ faster^ : -;;,;;y: Programs '-to be Given Today Upon Presentation of Dance Receipt; Indian Summer Is Dance Motif. Edens Hall will be aglow and bustling with activity tomorrow night when the outside girls enter the portals at eight-thirty for their informal dance of the season. The scheme of the dance is Indian summer and . t he programs, music and decorations all carry out this motif. Miss Ouida Davidson, chairman of the decoration committee, has made plans for a most charming and unusual setting, and with the aid of her self-appointed committee is engaged in carrying out the idea. The programs will be given out to the girls oday noon, from 12 until four o'clock on the presentation of the receipts given them upon the payment of the -fee entitling them to go. This informal is under the direction of Miss Catherine Morse, the social chairman of the Women's League and will probably be one of the most interesting ones-yet sponsored by that organization. Over a hundred girls have signed to go and there are quite a number on the waiting list in case any of the other girls drop out. o Thomas Manor Takes This Year's Pennant In the opinion of the committee in charge of Home Coming consisting of both faculty and students, Thomas Manor was judged as hav-' ing the prize winning house decoration. Edward's Hall and Collett's Hall were close runner-ups for first place, but lacked the tinge of originality of the Manor's idea. The credit for the idea of the occupants of the Igloo was given ' to Joyce Arnold, who thought up the idea and put it into action with/the able help of Zeke McClurken The Campus as a whole looked extremely well, and the committee expresses appreciation to all the students who helped to make it so. o KREISLER IS HEARD Athletics will receive $2.50 from each $6 student activities ticket sold, according to the decision of the board of control, in regular meeting which took place Monday afternoon: At - this meeting the quarterly apportionment of funds took place, with . athletics getting the largest single cut of money. Close on the heels of brawn comes brain, with culture, represented by lectures and musical artist courses being allotted $2.25. Social life of the school is provided for by the 75 cent appropriation for the quarter, while the remaining 50 cents of the'$6 is placed in the Northwest Viking fund. Debate Squad Appeals The request of members of the debate squad that 15 cents from each student activities ticket be set aside for the expenses of this activity was denied for this quarter, and a committee was appointed to investigate conditions concerning debate to ascertain if the appropriation of money for the activity is feasible. According to the statement made to the board by the debaters, with the appropriation of enough money, such as the request asked, several intercollegiate debates could be arranged for both men and women teams, at home and away from home. With the request for money the debaters also asked that a special^ manager be appointed. In appointing the committee, which is composed of Eldred Bech-tel and Jean Marquis, the board stated that there is no possibility of debate receiving any financial aid this .quarter. A manager will be appointed by the board if money is appropriated in the future. W. A. A. Requests Change , The request of the W. A. A. that the sweater award rule for girls be changed so that a girl may earn a sweater after serving on seven first teams instead of eight first teams as is now required, was referred to B, special committee headed by Jean Marquis. The. request based its vajidity upon the assertion that because of the two-year length of the school term, it is highly difficult for girls to play on eight teams. Thespian Initiation to be Weird Affair Says Mock, Chairman Twenty faculty members and several students motored to Vancouver to hear Fritz Kreisler oh Monday. Kreisler is the leading violinist of the age and tickets for the performance were sold out for three days before the appearance. Ev.en standing room was not available and hundreds of people were turned away. Kreisler was wonderfully gracious and responded to the applause with three encores." Those who availed themselves of this rare opportunity were: Pres. and Mrs. C. H.

This apportionment was decided upon after due consideration of the needs of each activity. We are sure the decision was a wise one. However it might be interesting to know that at this same meeting a mere 15 cents was refused the poor little unassuming debate squad, which is sorely in need of funds as well as encouragement to carry on its unrecognized efforts. That 15 cents would go far in making inter-collegiate debate possible, and in giving a worth-while activity a strong foothold in our institution. LET'S SHOW OUR APPRECIATION Next Wednesday evening Louis Graveure, world famous tenor, will be at the First Christian Church for a concert which is second of the series on the Musical ArtistsCourse. Do students ever stop to consider what a peculiar privilege is theirs in having anopportunity such as this? Not alone are the master musicians of the world engaged for their pleasure, but in addition it is their privilege to listen to lectures of moment on the most interesting subjects, by men best qualified to deliver them. A feature of these concerts and lectures particularly appreciated by most of us, is that they are free to students. At no other school in the state do students have such a chance as this to enjoy the art of the best musicians and lecturers on the public platform. . It is a well-known fact that humanity generally cares but little for #what can be easily obtained—accepts with indifference the goods that the gods provide, but let us prove an exception to this rule and receive with eagerness and appreciation the artistic treats offered to us* KEEP OFF T H E GRASS. Even the U. S. Mail must pause and consider if it may enroach on the precious greensward of our sacred campus. President or freshman, mail carrier or visitors, all must obey the edict of our autocratic gardeners and KEEP OFF THE. CAMPUS!

"Well say, Pete old boy, I'm in an awful fix. One of my harem wants a date for the big Homecoming v dance tonight, and I've already got a date. Will you take her?" . "Well I dunno. What's she like?" »;: "Oh, gosh, Pete, you ought to -know that I wouldn't pick out none but the best for you. Boy, she's a wow, and how." "What's her name?" "Oh, Pete, what difference does that make?

BOOK REVIEW MANY MINDS [: By Carl Van; Doren - This book of. criticism treats a number of people who stand out hi the mind of its author], Carl. Van Doren. We find included, Edna St. Vincent Millay, George Ade, Robert Frost, H. L. Menken gt; Carl Sandburg and Vachel Lindsay. The criticisms reflect the critic's personality and philosophy although he says of himself that "he is neither creator or critic" but that "he is what he ilves." Van Doren does not look at a piece of literary work with the question "It it good?" Paramount" in *his mind but rather "It it alive?" The qualities of being good, true or beautiful are subordinate to that one quality of being alive according to this critic.. Carl Van Doren gives us a measuring stick by which we can judge iterature. . He says "The measure of the creator is the amount of life he puts into his work. The measure of the critics is the amount of life he finds there." Calendar FRIDAY—Nov. 2. Rec Hour in big gym 4 to 5 p. m. SATURDAY—Nov 3. Football game, St. Martin's College, here, 2 p. m.

A Touchdown Made Early in First Quarter. GOOD CjROWD ATTENDS Vikings Come Back in Last Quarter But Lack Scoring Punch in the Critical Moments. Last week-end the Cheney Savages dropped in on t he home of the Vikings to pay their annual grid respects. They stayed over night and long enough the next day to carry home with them nearly everything that the Vikings had, and in particular, the annual homecoming football game. Yes, once again the Vikings came off Hhe field of honor with a defeat chalked up against them. This time the score was not so large as those of previous games this season, but large enough to bring about a defeat for Bellingham. Cheney Scores The Savages scored in the first period of play after the Viking attack- had forced the visitors deep into defensive territory where they held their opponents to downs and then came back with a vicious attack that swept the locals backward beyond their own goal Cheney failed to convert the t ry for point and the score stood Cheney 6-Bellingham 0. The" quarter ended without either team making any material gains. The second quarter ran along quietly enough until Weber, Viking back, took one of Odell's passes for a long gain, but was' stopped before he could reach the Cheney goal. At the end. of the half the score was unchanged, and two tired and worn teams left the field for a few minutes rest before the ' second half started. Erickson Looks Good On the opening kick-off of the second half the spectators were given a real thrill when Erickson took Cheney's kick from his own twenty-yard line down through the center of the field to the Cheney fifteen-yard line before he was stopped by the Savage safety man. It looked like a sure score for Bellingham for a few seconds. The fourth period was a hard period of play in which the Vikings had the ball most of the time. The locals had the visitors out-played all during the last half and from all indications should have- pushed over a score but the Cheney defense proved impregnable at the most critical periods of play and stopped the Vikings three times inside their own three-yard line. The Vikings played " a glorious game and deserve real credit for their showing. Weber and Erickson played a bang-up game of football and Williams' work in backing up the line during the second half was indeed commendable. Anderson's work at end was outstanding for the Vikings. First Turnout Held in Preparation tor Basketball Season Basketball season at the Normal is now getting under way^ Monday night saw the initial turnout of the prospective hoopsters for the 1928- 29 season. As yet very little can be said in regard to the material, but it is hopped that at the close of the present football season will add materially to the squad; since none of the football men are turning out until after the grid season closes. SEVEN CLOG DANCES MASTERED BY CLASS It seems that the Folk Dancing and Clogging class is lacking in enthusiasm when but three new girls have joined. The girls who are turning out now are very persevering and they have learned seven clogs. These are: Dixie, Yankee Doodle, Hay Foot, Straw Foot, Swanee, Kentucky Home and Listen to t he Mocking Bird. Besides these clogs, several folk dances have been learned. Miss Dozier wishes to announce that visitors are welcome to any turnout of this group, which meets Mondays and Wednesdays at four o'clock. -—o CHAS.

Observations From a Daycoach Seat; A Writer's Version of Ellensburg Trip KARL W E B ER fleet of small row boats tied together. A couple fish traps. Some gill net fishermen hauling in their nets. And the pinochle game goes blissfully on. Mr. Carver has dropped out of the game. He won too many times and thought he was too good for his lesser adversaries. The editor says we had better stop, it is press time. So we will see you all next week, and give you some more dope and lowdown on the trip. -o Golfer: "Doctor, you remember you recommended golf to take my mind off my work?" Doctor: "Yes." Golfer: "Well, can you prescribe something now to get it back ai gt;-ain?" ' by BEN HAMILTON This is not necessarily humorous, but is an account of commonplace things as the reporter saw them on the Ellensburg football trip. Here they come, by ones, twos and threes, Manager Hunnicutt calling off their names and checking them off the list as he passes out the transportation and expense money. Everybody here but Odell. The train comes whistling around the bend. Then to a roaring, grinding stop. Odell reaches the platform just as t he train comes to a stop. All aboard. The bell rings and we are off for the other side of t he mountains. We pass out of the station, creep past Bellingham's water front, and are soon roaring along the beautiful Chuckanut. Pinochle Popular- Odell, Jewell and Carver are settled down to a quiet little game of pinochle. Others busy themselves by looking out of the window or in reading up on history or t h e like. Weber beats me to the window side of the seat, so I sit and watch the pinochle game. Carver wins! What is this! We are stopping. Woods to the right and woods to left of us. A long sidetrack comes into view. Presently it is occupied by another train bound back to where we are from. Just a stop in the wilds between Blanchard and Burlington. Burlington next. Weber gets off to see if the home town is still on the map. I appropriate his seat next the window. Gunn Causes Commotion Burlington passes from the picture. Comes Mount Vernon next. Gunn boards the train. Commotion among the fellows, caused by t he new arrival. Mount Vernon goes behind. We now turn our attention to the outside of the car. Green fields flash by. A farmer speeding to market in his Tin Lizzie. Graceful bovine flappers quietly taking their midday rest. A young heifer gamboling on the green. A yelping canine of doubtful origin, giving chase to the train. A king of bovinedom standing disconsolatly in the corner of a fence, chewing at his cud. A ditch full of water and lined with swamp-grass and cat-tails. A station flashes past. I t must be Marysville. (Page Mr. Erickson). We cross over a muddy stream. Several of them. Dirty, smelly tide-flats are very much in evidence. Some optimistic fisherman trolling in the muddy water. Erickson Arrives at Last Dirty, dusty sawmills and box factories" heave into sight. A casket factory looms on the horizon and passes into the distance. Smudgy tramp lumber ships tiedvto grimy wharves Then a long line of box cars shutting off the marine view. We pull into the station at Everett. Our prodigal Chuck Erickson, sometimes known as Leif the Lucky, boarded the t r a in at this station of the Smoky city. Everett passes from the picture and again the waterfront and marine view take the stage. A large freighter headed northward, riding high in t h e water. A flock of ducks hurriedly leave the water.

Earl was the pride of his parents, when he beat two little sixth grade Indian boys in a race. He consequently earned the appropriate title of "Big Chief Light Foot." Next year he carried off high point honors in an all-school track meet at Marietta grade school. The story then began of the boy who left the farm for the great city to seek his fortune. With tearful parting he took the school bus to come to Whatcom High. Here t he local boy proceeded to "bring the bacon home." After working hard and overcoming all obstacles his dominating personality forced itself upon his fellows and they elected him captain of the track team. Earl proceeded to justify their opinion and earn undying fame by winning the century from his three-year rival, Lacy, of Lynden.

W.-L. | Honorable William Howard Taft, chief justice of the United States, and former president, just yesterday told delegates at a convention of his college fraternity that in his opinion extra-curricular duties were "carried to a great extreme" and that "we must get our public and private schools down to a simpler curriculum." The elderly jurist, who makes speeches only rarely, joked with his audience which included such eminent men as: Secretary of State Simpson, five noted senators, and others of national prominence. He struck a serious note on the "slump" in scholarship. However, he explained that "the war played havoc with a great many conceptions, and we havn't gotten over it yet." The chief justice observed that many students went to school for "social reasons" and sometimes "to establish themselves by reason of the fact that they are called college women." And so while the grand old man of the American judiciary frets about the over-ameunt of extracurricular activities burdening the under-grad, scores of schools the country over are offering more than ever opportunities for all in the extra- curricular activities Many ef us here feel that we belong to too many clubs and organizations. Let's see—how many is just the right number. A few say "belong to five of six of them." More point out the benefits derived from being a conscientious member of two, and not more than three clubs. The band of opinion is * wide. But we can notice that the many-club member is more or less of an 'honorary' member to the clubs that give him the least satisfaction. Columns may be writt e n on the club problems.—but it is well to notice that the member-at-heart gets the most enjoyment of his club life at this "Normal-by-the- Mountains and the Sea." The latter group, nuclei of true fellowship, are planning for the most part in keeping their respective organizations together during the summer session and to welcome back the old-timers into a renewal of friendships and good times. -W.

Wisteria and Japanese lanterns transformed the room into a place of Orinetal beauty. Gorgeous pah-eds, portraying ;Japanese figures and scenes covered the walls. Punch was served from a charming pagoda. Stark's orchestra furnished the music for the dances which were the dances which were appropriately named in true Oriental style, such as Pekin Drag, the Tokyo Tap and the Ginricksha Trot. Dance Is Success Credit for the success of the dance should be extended to Jane L'Eveque, social chairman; Jessie Grieve, chairman of the decoration committee: Marion Snyder, Virginia Caulke, Elizabeth Gable, and Margaret Lee, chairmen respectively of the program, refreshment, music, and clean-up committees. Patrons and patronesses were Miss Adele M. Jones, Miss Kathleen Skalley, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Marquis, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Miss Grace Sullivan, and Mr. Arthur Kolstad. INTERESTING DRAMA WILL BE PRODUCED Leading Roles Well Handled by the Cast of the Drama Club in Their Play "Icebound". Next Friday night the Drama club will present its quarterly play "Icebound", a heavy dramatic plot originated by Owen Davis. "The play is rounding into shape very rapidly. All the acts are running along smoothly. It could easily have been produced this week but the additional week's practice will make it even better," stated Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, director of the play. In spite of the heavy dramatic situations that arise, the play is sprinkled throughout with bits of humor which add an enlivening touch to the strained atmosphere. The play ends happily for all concerned when Jane, the servant girl, finally makes them all see the true light and the Jordan family change their natures and the atmosphere that has pervaded the family for generations is finally melted and they are no longer "Icebound." Individuality in Leads Great individuality is shown on the part of the leading characters in the portrayal of their diverse roles. Sadie Fellows, played by Dorothy Sasse, is "worn to skin and bones" in her desperate attempts to get some of the Jordan money supposedly to support her small boy, Oran Fellows, whose part is taken by Lafe. Berg, from the Training school. Catherine Morse takes the part of Ella Jordan, the spinster sister who has been slaving all of her life"just like a nigger," making hats. Kern and Chichester Lead Ben Jordan, Barney Chichester, the black sheep of the Jordan family, returns to his home on a New England farm to find his mother's house waiting news of her death. (Continued on Page Four) WESTMINSTER GlEE SINGERS E N T H STUDENT ASSEMBLY Famous English Singers Present Interesting Program «n Tuesday, May 29. BOY SOPRANO Boy Sopranos Are Attractive Feature of the Company Which Has Toured the World. '' I n what was purported to be one of the best received and most appreciated assembly programs of the year, The Westminster Glee Singers offered one of their programs in last Tuesday's assembly. Seated or standing in various informal attitudes about an improvised drawing-room, these celebrated English vocalists gave an impression of free dom and ease which, is usually lacking in the ordinary assembly program. A feeling of intimacy seemed to spring up between the audience and the entertainers, produced, probably, by the naturalness with which the selections were rendered. Boy Sopranos Perhaps the most delightful- of the selections on the program were those which featured the boy sopranos. These six boys, selected from the principal London church choirs, sang with amazing tone and clarity; and, when singing in conjunction with the adult voices, formed a pleasing combination. The program included three solo1 numbers by members of the adult group and a solo, with accompaniment of voices, by one of the boy sopranos. A quartet also rendered several enjoyable numbers. Comedy was furnished by Mr. Albert G. Greene, one of the basses in the chorus, in several rollicking part-singing selections. Extensive Tour The Westminster Glee Singers are drawn from the leading cathedral choirs of Great Britain; the organization being formed twenty-five years ago by its present leader, Edward Branscombe. They have toured every part of the English-speaking world. EJMNWNEXT Women's League and Men's Club Will Present Fashion Show in Assembly, Next Tuesday Morning. In next Tuesday's assembly 'the Women's League and Men's Club are jointly sponsoring a fashion show, featuring summer styles. The chairman, Alice Sundquist, announces that there will be four acts with a prologue to each for which Elizabeth Brodt has written an attractive scenario. There will probably be an orchestra playing throughout the program. There will also be dancing and singing-acts. Mr. Hoppe's Play Production class will present a one-act play of their own choosing in next Friday's assembly. This event is pleasantly anticipated by the memory of the last one act play produced in assembly. o Several names have been added to the list of those who will receive Life Diplomas at the conclusion of this spring quarter. They are: Agnes E. Bestual, '26; Axelia Johnson, '24; Beryl Kelley, '25; Madeline Koester, '24; Karine Olsen, '24; Laura E. Runyon, '29; and Floyd Van Etten, '26.

Fowler REPORTERS Bert Cole Rose Brooks Glen Goddard John Finnegan Ed Cox Ray Craft John Greaves Lloyd Beckes ' Robert Cox THIS IS THE END T_hiite end of this quarter is almost upon us—upon us with term themes, tests, and other papers long past due. Some students will welcome the conclusion of this quarter with a sigh of relief from a long, strenuous and brain taxing term, while for others it will mean merely the duration of a past, infinite vacation. To most of us it will mean a parting of the ways, a loss of some friend that is survived by a tiny spark of hope—a hope that someday the pathways of each of our lives will cross during, the tide of time, that we may again renew a friendship whose ties will be, at that future date, shrivelled and perhaps severed—who knows? •Graduation, which terminates this quarter, is a time of much glory and happiness to those participating in the exercises; many of the graduates will perhaps, never return to this institution, others will, and those students engaged as teachers will be widely distributed over the Northern part of the United States—-all this means a parting of the ways, but, anyway, we still have the hope that someday we may meet again. It is a funny world—a world liberally dotted with little spots of happiness, and sadness—a world systematically mapped out for us, so it seems, giving us each, in the long run, just about an equal number of sorrowful incidents as the more pleasant ones, and we'll take it just as it is, because it is-—Life. T H E E V E N T S O N T H E KNOLL The Campus* Knoll became the playground where Grecian dancers portrayed their lovely, graceful and sylph-like movements, and where slaves struggled in vain to obey their graceful but stern, unyielding master, who lashed them again and again with her soft, silken scarf; where a nymph glided lightly through intricate steps to the ever haunting strains of the "Blue Danube Waltz"; Prometheus, after an exhausting fight to free himself from defying bonds that held him, finally broke his chains; and great Roman warriors lived again to hold battle there on our knoll. It was a scene well worth watching, and the dancers as well as their director, Miss Helen Dozier, win worthy, well-merited applause. Of course the program, no matter how skillfully arranged, would have never been the success it was without the excellent musical accompaniment played by Vera Ginnette, pianist; Ethel Boynton, violinist; and Pauline Larkin, flutist. Taken all in all, we are proud of the participants, and director; they have earned recognition and have much praise due them. W E R E G R E T MISS M A D D E N ' S D E P A R T U RE Last week's Viking informs us that Miss Alma G. Madden will sever her connection with the school at the end of the summer school. It is with profound regret that we hear of this. Miss Madden has served the school faithfully for five years, and during that time the debate department has done excellent work and the extempore speaking department has been built up. We have just finished a very successful debate season, and so we feel it only fitting that there should be some expression from the students in appreciation of her work. —E. B. F. YOU C A N T W I N E V E R Y T I ME We can't always win, and the times we don't win we are at least exceedingly proud we could enter the contest. So it is with the participants in the League of Nations national contest. No one from this institution won the trip to Europe, offered as first"prize, or any of the other prizes given—What of it? This school was represented in the contest at any rate. A prize, while a most coveted honor* and the person winning any of the prizes has done a most scholastic deed, is not everything. A great deal of credit is due to the two Normal students whose papers were worth representatives of this institution in this year's League of Nations national contest. Arthur Cram and Edna Boone Finley. S C H O L A R S H I P S MEAN' SO MUCH A Normal daughter was awarded the coveted E. C. Converse scholarship of the Leland Stanford University. Jean Marquis, our friend, former classmate, and daughter of Dean and Mrs. W. J. Marquis, received the scholarship for the superior type of work, characteristic of Jean, she performed in her studies while at Stanford. We are proud of you, Jean, and congratulate you on your accomplishment. DeWitt Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pelagius Williams, was elected recently to the Phi Beta Kappa, a national honorary scholarship society. He was one of only eighty-three students out of a senior class of 1238 of the University of Washington, that was able to qualify—'• Oh, well! "Like father like son". Thomas A.

What Can a Woman Do When a Bee Hive Loses It's Lodgers? There seems to be a natural tendency for women to climb high when the presence of a mouse is announced, but you ought to see them hug the floor when bees escape from the hive and swarm about the classroom. Now to explain the why and the wherefore of the escaped bees. Early one morning, last week, about eight o'clock, an assistant in the Science department hurriedly tucked a hive of busy, buzzing bees under his arm, failing to notice that the bottom of the hive was not correctly fitted to the upper portion, and started to put them out on the window ledge. However, the bees, seeing.a chance to gain their liberty, streamed out through the open corner and swarmed about the room, causing considerable commotion among the students and instructors present in the room. The only casualty reported were the loss of "poundage" in the struggle to gain the other side of the assistant's nose. o Large Number Will Graduate on June 6 (Continued from Page One) ' ''The^-^:;; Pointless Epistles of Mark Gwinnett, Frances Haight, Dorothy Halbert, Beatrice Halverson, Benjamin Hamilton, Merle Hanson, Daisy Ozell Harris, Vera Hembury, Joe Hermsen, Margaret Hill, Roberta Hindley, Jennie Hoffman, Florence Horswill, Bertha Hundt, Lillian Jacobsen, Audrey Jensen, Gertrude Marie Jensen, Earle D.

He is Non-committal as to Chances of Winning Meet. Thai Continues to be Leading Tennis Player on Ladder Last Wednesday Coach Carver sent his pets through their final paces in preparation for competition in. the annual Tri-Normal track and field meet that is to be held at Cheney this year. The tennis squad also made the journey along with them. Sid Thai, Ham Church and Ed Cox will uphold the Blue and White laurels for the local racquet wielders. Contrary to usual procedure Carver is making no predictions regarding the outcome of the meet. However he prophesied that Bellingham had a good break for third place. Last time the Vikings went to El-lensburg highly touted for first place and got. bit by the heat bug and came home with the short end of . the score. Cheney Normal is rated as potential winners of the meet, due to their showing against W. S. C. Frosh. Strong on Track The Viking warriors have plenty of strength on the track but are exceptionally weak in the field events. but for one or two events. Carver is only taking eleven men, instead of-twelve, due to lack of good material. The following men left for Cheney ; yesterday: Erickson, Hemmii, Brinkman, Axelson, Howell, Bright, Cox, Carboneau, Egan, Gravrock, and Oberlatz, Thai, Ed Cox, Church, Osborne and Carver. 7.( .New. Material-.Unearthed I n ^ a trial ;run to determine a second place entry in the half mile run .^Tuesday,- -Carver discovered that it;never rains but it pours. While, weak in reserve strength in many of the events he found out by the stop watch that he had at least six. runners who could make the half in less than 2:06. Howell rated as first man; was started against Carboneau and Egan and O'FIying. Howell set the pace and lead, up to the last 30 yards but was nosed out by a yard by Carboneau and .Egan, who uncorked., a desperate sprint in the. last fifty yards. Brinkman and Axelson and Bright are also rated to run under 2:06. This is exceptionally good time when it will be remembered that Gallenger of Bellingham won the Tri-Normal at 2:05.8 in 1927. Entries in Events Earl Hemmi, peer of sprinters, who has competed in a number of track meets will perform for the Blue and White for the last time in.' his fourth tri-normal competi-' tion. Bob Cox is our second entry in the sprints. Clarence Axelson, who has already won his sweater is the lone entry in the quarter mile. Carver is feeling confident in the 880 yard run and is entering three men: Paul Howell, Melvin Egan and Bob Carboneau. Norman Bright, record holder for the mile run is expected to cop his event but is not in good condition, due to a recent illness. Carboneau will run in second position. Tinval Brinkman, winner of the cross city run in '27 will be a lone entry in the two mile grind. Cox is also entered in the low hurdles. Charles Erickson the star high point man of the squad will run the high hurdles, throw the javelin, put the shot, broadjump and perhaps high jump and throw the discus. Oberlatz due to rapid improvement in the last two weeks is taken along in the discus. Art Gravrock has improved considerably in the javelin in the C. P. S. meet and is expected to go good in his specialty. The four men who will run in the mile relay will be chosen from the following: Axelson, Howell, Brink-man, Bright, Cox, Hemmi, Egan and Carboneau. o Mr. Winther Accepts Position at Stanford The results of this week's matches in the tennis ladder as as follows: Parker beat Prendergast, 8-6, 6-4.

Those who will represent the Bellingham Normal are as follows: Sid Thai, No. 1; Church No. 4; and Cox No; 5. Erickson, No. 2 on the ladder will not be able to compete due to the many track- events he is entered in, while Keplinger, No.! 3, is ineligible for Tri-Normal play. . Sid ,Thal, Viking first man, will! have plenty of competition in the single matches as, .both Ellensburg and Cheney, boast strong f hjst- men. ThaUs game has been rather erratic at times but i f h e i s "on'.'.at Cheney he will cause them plenty of trouble. Sid is also, the only man on the squad who has, had tournament experience, and really plays best when he-,is. up. against a good,man and has to fight for his points. , The arrangement for doubles have not vbeen. made,, but it looks as though Edgar Cox and Sid Thai will play in the doubles, while "Ham" Church will play the other single matches. - ' • - . - , Road Trip Hard The team left with a strong determination to do their "darndest," and if- the 400 mile auto jaunt does not cause too many ill effects the Viking tennis team will give a good account of themselves. .—_o THE U.

The decision of the Committee on Award for the First National Competitive Examination on the League of Nations for Normal schools was reached on May 9 and is as follows. ^ 1st Prize (trip to Europe) Edith Garrison, State Teachers College, Trenton, New Jersey. 2nd Prize ($100.00)—Naomi A. Fausch, Winona State Teachers College, Winona, Minnesota. 3rd^Prize ($50.00)—Sarah Polster, Columbus State Normal School, Columbus, Ohio. , I n addition to the three prize winners the following win honorable mention, which means that their papers were among the highest in the 124 papers submitted: Florrie Mathis, Peabody College for Teachers, Nashville, Tennessee; Marie Alsager, Northern Illinois .

Cost Is Nominal The cost of publication is unusually low, ranging between from $40 to $50. There is no advertising in the paper due to the state aid that is given. About 500 copies are printed. Two weeks ago all copy was in for the spring issue. This allows Mr. Bissel time to set up the type and have it printed a week or two before school is out. The paper is six inches by nine inches and usually contains 28 or 32 pages. Often times it is illustrated with a half page picture of some school festival. The primary aim of the "Junior Viking" is to reflect the activities and spirit of the training school. It gives a chance for the students to do creative work and the youngsters are more than highly elated to see their work in print. o Miss Longley Takes A Leave of Absence Taking a leave of absence for one year, Miss Gertrude Longley plans to attend the Teachers' College at Columbia to get her Master's degree in Nutrition.

Miss Helen F. Treat, reference librarian, has also labored untiringly to continue the _work of her predecessor in compiling ajl the library's pictures, clippings, and bibliographies in one alphabetical file, which, in itself, is a large part of the establishment. Periodaicals Arranged, Listed For many years past* periodicals and pamphlets . accumulated, so that at last the facilities provided by the present library were insufficient for their, storage, and they have since been placed in various parts of the building, among which is the attic. Beginning last summer under the able direction of Mrs. Lieseke, these have all been inventoried, and from the single copies, that is, those which are not members of series, all valuable articles, pictures, or bibliographies will be clipped and mounted to be placed in the Picture and Clipping File, to guide teachers in-the making of similar collections for themselves and their schools. These will be placed with the present file of pictures which is now kept in the children's library gt; and, because such a collection is of immense value to .the library, a special room on the first floor of the new building has/.been set aside for it. : Library Planned in Advance According to Miss Wilson, a place for everything in the - library was made when it was planned, and an (Continued on Page Two) ' ; : " ' ;—— : o.-- — NOTICE, GRADUATES!

Departments Make Plans Tile departments are making plans for their work and some of these By drawing a picture of a world that lias made appreciable steps in civilization, Dr. Will Durant, author df "The Story of Philosophy" gave his viewpoint on "Is Progress a Delusion?" last Friday in the Normal School Auditorium. /"Is Progress a Delusion?" Dr .Diirantj in the lecture that lasted one hour and a half, built up a strong argument in behalf of progress of' mankind and incidentally he defended the youth of today, declaring that no generation was ever more worthy of encouragement. In building up his argument. Dr. Durant employed the use of the ten steps in the ascent of man known to civilizar tion. ' . ' • ' • ' ..''-" He said that these stops in' the progress of man resulted in the lengthening of life, the emancipation of women, and improvement in the conditions'of the poleteriat. Scanning the nineteenth century, Dr. Durant recalled that it was an age of machinery and development of industrial life. . In comparing the past with the present, Dr. Durant said: "We looked for literature, and we found the newspaper; we looked for painting, "and we found photographs; we looked for art, and we found industry; we looked for quality, and we found quantity. East Ages Discussed Dr. Durant visipned some of the greatest civilizations of the .past, such as flourished in Greece, Egypt, and Rome. He lamented the fact, in speaking of these localities, that man had seen fit to wreck the monuments of skilland art which long ago rose so proudly and grandly. Just before he took up the steps of civilization, the visitor, in mentioning the moral code, expressed Ins faith and interest in modern youth^ Heretofore, he stated, the moral code has been founded on fear. Now the code is changing because of the decay of fear resulting from' modern science and inventions. Education Dr. Durant held that humanity has Traditional ^ B a t t l e Shows Snap Throughout.

Its history, as reviewed by the writer in back numbers of the various school editions, is one of trials and hardships, one of intense excitement, and one of tremendous accomplishments. ' iOn Washington's birthday, 1000, a group of students Tn this institution took steps to organize a literary society. To practice -parliamentary procedure, debating; and discussion .were- the motives of the members of the society. Mr. Vaile professor. in. this school at that time was elected faculty advisor. The' club, under the direction of: the /various^ presidents who were elected every four weeks and not. eligible for re-election, SERVICE CLUB flourished and on.February 15, 1901, they rendered a well prepared program in the "assembly hall." It was a debate on "The Evils of Compulsory Education." The club membership at this time, was limited to forty men. / The'.-Philomathean Literary Society was re-organized in 1909, when women were permitted the right to attain membership. In half a year •it grew to be one of the strongest clubs in the school. The Philos gave programs in assembly consisting of music debates, dramatic work, and papers and talks on current events. The Society's .faithful friends and advisors' "were,, since the re-organization, Miss Jensen, now residing in Weehawken, N. J., and Mr. Philippi,. who is" at present the advisor./ The members of the club, at thisv. time relative to advisors, received" one credit per year if they .were present and agreed •'•number-' of'.times, a .year when the club met oh Friday even- As the crack of the gun ended the fray and the smoke, of battle cleared, the final- score showed the Cheney Savages with a four point lead over the Bellingham Vikings in their big Tri-Normal tussle, Avhich was played in the Whatcom gym Tuesday evening., the-final count being 33 to 29. The «ame was featured by fine shooting by Earl Keplinger, Viking's speedy forward, and Benner, elongated pivot man for Cheney. Both teams played a fine brand of basketball although the invaders were a little stronger in the scoring department and held a slight edge in team work and handling the ball. The Vikings displayed a good floor game and showed the old fighting spirit, but went down to a team a little more evenly matched and better groomed than themselves. ^ Game Fast The battle between the traditional foes was thrilling and hard fought throughout and developed into a speedy contest which was anyone's game to the last whistle. Cheney started the fire works by slipping thru the Viking defense to swish one in from under the basket. The Vikings tallied once from the foul line while Cheney counted again from under the basket. The, score see-sawed back and forth being tied at six all, when with a spurt the Vikings increased their lead to 15 points while Savages were held to 9. Carver's men held a 15 to 13 lead over the invaders at half time. Second Half During 'the first half the Vikings were superior, and a t one junction of the game their defense held perfectly, but the Savages'finding their eye, dropped five field goals through in about three -.minutes' of play, rushing their opponents off their feet with their brilliant drive. Cutting down a .2/ to 19 lead in the last few minutes of play to three points, the Viking hopes soared again but soon faded when the Savages came back to increase their: lead to four points. The gun ended the fray as the score stood gt;33 to 29 in favor of the Easterners. Coach Carver shook up his linemen on several occasions in. an effort to find a winning combination but the Blue and White cagers were unable to keep pace with the accurate shooting and smooth passing visitors. Keplinger seemed to be the only man that was able to score from the field, Coming here from Boston, Miss Ethel Winifred Allen,; dramatic arr tist, will entertain in assembly ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1928 February 3 - Page 2 ---------- f|d^^lt^ed-by ^ ^^nte'reft'-i^ MILLER;-" ' SUTHERtEN;PRIOTING; CO. ^Printers. iSufecfipti lt;?n ratelby .mail; §1.50 per;y^ ^£3-i /.i/^ ;' / / / ' ' / / ^riAddrcss-allvcommunicationis, other than' news' items/.to The Business 'Manager of •tjws'Weefciy^MesM '.-';'' / - ' / // ^ROBERT WAGNER -t....XX. /ROBERT F I S H E R / : / . / : .: VERNON V / V I N E :.;.-. /.; CARRIE TUCKER ......:/.„ HERBERT E.

There will be,the entire space _of the library; librarian's office and children's library room. A plat of :;tlie space available has been circulated-to the faculty asking them to tell what; they need in the way of additional space. No doubt the faculty have visions^of a Utopia in which each of. them will have a separate office and privacy which is now denied them. k- But :there are other people in the school who are interested in the space to be apportioned. They are the students. To anyone who has v worked in student-affairs the inadequacy of the present quarters is easily appreciated. In one small room, a mere hole in the wall, are crowded the offices of the Students' Association, Klipsun, and Business Manager of the Messenger." In the Weekly Messenger room, two classes meet daily in addition to the Journalism classes which situation interferes seriously with the work on the Messenger. By allowing the students another larger'office thecrowded condition could be remedied, provided that teachers were given to understand that the rooms could not be used for • classes. / ; : In addition the students would greatly appreciate rooms utilized for their comfort. We have heard of faculty rooms in this school but who ever heard of student rest rooms. The'men of the school now have, the privilege of lounging in the men's locker room and the P . E. office. For their comfort is provided one window sill and two wooden benches. What a boon it would be if the men and women of the school could have rooms with a carpet, a picture and a soft chair or two that could be resorted to when the "oppressor's score", or whatever it happens to be, proves too harsh. It would seem to us, just offhand, that the place for a Yell King at a basketball game is not in the ticket booth selling tickets but out leading the crowd in cheering. It m a y b e we are inaugurating a new custom here with the purpose of utilizing our man-power at athletic contests. However efficiently the ticket selling'end of the proposition may have been handled, we could see no marked improvement in the quality of the cheering at the Ellensbufg game, last week.

After a great deal of discussion about this"organization and its many foibles, the conclusion has about been reached that we can't do much of anything. The group which should do something is the faculty committee on student Organizations, the original instigators of the ' Inter-club Council nee' Students'. Organization Council. The council can change its constitution and^ regulations until iffs black in the face but if such moves do not meet the approval of the just mentioned faculty group all their trouble is for naught. The large cry which has been raised to have a reform in the Council has over-emphasized the difficulty. There is need .for some change so that business matters such as the arranging of the.social calendar could be expedited, but aside from that the council has little to do except of an advisory nature. The greatest need for the Council to fill is that of acting as a forum for the-discussion of club problems. As a body representing the wishes of the schobl clubs it could be very effective in representing to the faculty the wishes of the students thmslyes. For it is the faculty committee which make the regulations for club meetings such as closing hours, places, of meeting, etc. At least it is to them that all ' actions o f the council must be taken for approval. Why, then, have we been attacking the Students' Organization Council ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1928 February 3 - Page 3 ---------- : Junibr~Varsity Trims Puget: Sound :/v; Power jand '"'Light1 Company on t f Y .

With but "one more league contest to play the Jayvees' victory over the hitherto undefeated Lightmen crew ^ives the Normalites strong assurance; of the secoud half league championship, an honor they have held for the last two years. • Game Fast The game was fast' and furious from the first whistle and'had all the earmarks of a championship battle. Both teams played a good brand of ball but the better oiled Jayvee machine was not to be denied and soon jumped into a comfortable lead which, they held throughout the game. The versatility of the .Jay vee- attack' was "largely responsible, for the onesided victory. The gun ended the fray as,.the score stood 51 to 31 with the Hilltoppers holding a comfortable twenty point lead. Scoring Ltes 'Sloppy"' Cox, flash forward for the Jayvees was high point man of the fray with 16 markers, with Thorlakson a close second with 12. Jacobs and Pratt «were the main threats for the losers with 10 and 8 points respectively! In the other Class B game of the evening the Legionnaires registered a .35 to 29 win over the schoolteachers. Criticisms usually-.-'.follow in the wake of several losses and this holds true regarding the Normal' Varsity. After reigning supreme for a couple of years spectators cdnceiye the idea that a '-team should never lose and unjustly criticise the 'team or players' ability. The people forget that any athlete hates to lose. Out practicing every night and giving their best in all games these men are always striving to/win, so try and-boost and never knock.

Intramural League Standing With the able assistance of whistle-toter McClurken and under the skillful managing of Tommy Marsclen, the Low Stars downed the fighting Kitchen Krew 33 to 19| In the second game of a double bill, the Co-ops kept pace by defeating the downtrodden Scotchmen in a close game. The Kitchen Krew, weakened by the absence of Stickney and burr, played the Low Stars off their feet and led at half time 12 to 9. Until relinquishing the lead the determined Pearl Divers out-passed and * outfought the classy Marsden quintet. With five minutes to play and the score 19 to 17 against them the Low "Stars went on a basket rampage, netting themselves fifteen points while holding the demoralized Kitchen Krew scoreless. In this rally Miller and Gray could not be checked, eacli caging several baskets and playing a good floor game." Johnson played a'fine game for the losers, checking closely and contributing several points to his team's score. Holding the highly touted Co-op five even in the first half, the hardy Scotchmen apeared to have a fair chance of breaking into the win column.

Dear President Fisher: In about the middle of November as the sixth grade was having a class one of the boys looked out of the window and saw a big grey squirrel. I t is the type of squirrel that is found in California and Oregon, and we do not know how it came to be on Sehome Hill. Since we first saw it, we have.been putting crumbs out under the trees so that it comes every day. We are very much interested in the squirrel and would like to have it stay on Sehome Hill, but lately" we have heard that the workmen are going to catch it in a trap, and\want it protected. Would you help us protect the squirrel? Respectfully yours, i;,;-,'.' The Sixth Grade. -':;:' In reply to this plea for the protection of the squirrel, President Fisher wrote: Boys and Girls of the Sixth Grade, Training School. Dear Boys and Girls: I I have your letter calling niy attention to the big grey squirrel which lives on Sehome Hill. Your letter expressed '*fear that the workmen about the school may catch the squirrel in a trap. I have notified the workmen not to-interfere with the squirrel but to allow him to wander about on Sehome Hill as he pleases. '•• In case you should hear of anyone interfering with the squirrel, I wish you would report it to me at once. ..

Miss: Ida Baker worked very hard to get this Normal set aside as a bird sanctuary but she did not live to see her dreams fulfilled. In 1921 she^ was killed in' a streetcar accident. Her dreams did not die, however. She was the founder of the Alkisiah Club, and through, the activities of this club the board of trustees in 1921 set aside the Normal and' Normal Campus as a bird sanctuary. Very little has been done since then to improve the sanctuary. The Alkisiahg spent quite a sum of money to build the cement bird bath on the lull side back of the Normal, but it is not kept in working order. No bird houses have been put up, no feeding stations established, no usable bird baths are constructed, and so i t seems this is a bird sanctuary in name only. During the cold weather of last week it was very difficult for the birds to get food. What a blessing it would have been for them if food had been put out where they ootid get it: Hundreds of varied thrushes flew over the campus daily, going from the woods to the houses where people threw out food for them. A great many robins are with us this winter and the?' were glad of a "hand out". Not only the thrushes and robins, but the wrens, juncos, and the timid towhees gathered at the homes of those people who remembered the birds. • \ '"' It would take very little effortv or energy on any one person's part to have this shcool a working bird sanctuary, if x all the students and members of the faculty would put a little thought and work on this project. The seventh and eighth grade boys could make bird houses in their manual training classes, the various clubs of the school could give a small amount of money to buy winter food for the birds, the feding could be taken up in the nature classes in both the Normal and training school. The administration could establish sevei'al feeding stations, and repair the bird bath. In this way no. one person would be carrying a heavy load of work. Plans to make the Oregon.Club dance to be held on February 4th, a gala affair are now in full swing. At a meeting of the various committees in charge of this work held last Wednesday, plans Were formulated that will assure the Webfoot affair to be well above the ordinary. The Melodians, a six-piece orchestra, has been secured, thus affording a welcome variety to student dance-lovers, as every other affair this quarter has had the orchestra led by Frannie Wilcox. k- Those who have complained about the poor condition of the gym floor at previous functions will have little to protest about on February 4th. .Members of the floor committee will spend the major part of a day l a n d ing the floor and preparing it for the Webfoot occasion. Two features have been arranged to add interest to the dance. During the intermission a clog dance will be given by a twain of more than local fame. Two boxes of candy, "donated by a member of the Oregon Club, will be awarded to the couple adjudged winners in a "Prize Waltz" contest. This formidable title, however, need not de* ter those who are hesitant about their terpsichorean ability. Each couple will be given a favor, containing a number. The decorations will'' be featured by an avoidance, as. much as possible, of the monotonous crepe paper, depressing because of its very familiarity. When the floor is a burnished solitude, when the dancers are leaving, you will surely know that you have known happiness. OF 1927 BEGINS THIS WEEK • — — '. lt;-. Last Call for Sophomore Photos. Orders for Club Picture-Cuts Should be in by Next. Monday. Work on the printing of the 1927 Klipsun will begin next week according to Katherine Leach, editor.

Clubs desiring their picture-cuts ordered for the Klipsun will have to pay $8.50 to the editor or the buesiness manager of the :Klipsun before February 1; according to the editor.

Many people are wondering what the new building is to contain; some think it is to be used for offices, while others are doubtful as to its use. The new building is to contain the school's present library which consists of a very good collection of books. These books have been selected with the greatest thought and care, and University graduates would find material here which would aid them in their various fields of work. Many have -the impression that it is the library that is inadequate while this is not true. It is the reading room which is not large enough to accommodate the students, and such a fine collection of books on the Normal shelves is worthy of an equally fine, building, as the "school is soon to have. Students are eagerly looking forward to such a building where there- will be less crowded conditions. But after all, students should rememr her that what^constitutes the library is the books, ^ r id the readers are what make.it live.\ R E I N A L D WERRENWRATH, Famous American Baritone^ Will Sing at the First Christian Church, Monday, January 31, at 8:15 P.

No matter how much some people may say to the contrary, there is one side of school life that cannot be emphasized too much, the social side,: This is especially true of a school which is training young men and young women to be teachers. When you'get out into a community to teach school you are looked upon as a social leader. This is probably more evident in a rural community. " Here at the Normal .we have excellent opportunities to partake of social functions. There is the recreation hour on Friday afternoon. Here we form.acquaintanceships that ripen into friendships. Here we may mingle or associate with the other students as a part of a democratic group. In addition to the "rec hour" there are numerous social affairs that students may attend. There are club dances, and class mixers. The informal get-together at the hall the other afternoon was one of the most successful of its kind that has ever Been sponsored here. Probably it would be a good plan to have more informals of the same nature. It is hoped that a greater number of students will avail themselves of the opportunities to attend social-affairs for it is only by having a large group present that we get full enjoyment from them. YES, A BIGGER A N D BETTER, W H A T ! .. Our slogan for the present quarter and the coming term of school is a ^'bigger and better" Messenger. The .only way that this can be accomplished is to have the co-operation of the entire student body. Hand in that piece of information that you think will be interesting to the students. Give^ us that little joke. In order that our paper be able to support itself, in part at least, it is necessary to have advertising. When' you go to a firm downtown that "rum" paid advertising matter in our paper, tell them you are from the Normal school; It will create a better feeling among our patrons and the students. * MUSSOLINI ; ANDr OPINION Mussolini says: "The world hafc noi respect' for "the man who hias, no opinion" according to Tom Skeyhill who lectured on "Mussolini and the Black Shirts" at the NormalAudi? toriirai last Mreek. Verilyf : verily, for the man ^that has no opinion, no conviction or his 'Own,- is only a tool; a machine, which Ms to' be used and operated by a ..more intelligent fellow man. Jie is like the wheel of a car which the driver handles and directs according'to his will. He does not function as he ought to; he is ah unfortunate, living tool.

This dramatization, involves a knowledge of the history of fur trading in the United States including some of the most prominent companies and the lives of the early traders. Life should thus be guided by the principle of independent tinking, and action thru one's own conviction. He, who wants.to be a leader, must learn to lead, and not be pulled by the nose and led wherever someone wants him. The long, dark and brilliant pages of history offer innumerable examples of leaders ,who stuck. to their, own opinions. INDEX TO ONE'S CHARACTER Tom Skeyhill says that the index to one's character. is his writing. I should say it is. One would but have to read* Emerson's essays to understand the character of. that much-loved American .essayist. The writings of Lincqln portraying the the inner self of one of the greatest of American statesmen. In _ addition to this fact, however, it might be said that one infallible index to one's character Is his real life, the sum total of the deeds and the small incidents that one experiences while living Arthur L. Marsh, executive secretary of the Washington Education Association, who has established legislative headquarters at Olympia during the present session, is sending to each unit of the W. E. A. a weekly bulletin affecting educational: legislation and other topics presented by the Executive Secretary. This practice will no doubt contribute a great deal toward bringing the educators of the state into closer contact with the legislative assembly. The organization of a new honorary scholarship society was announced last month at the Cheney Normal. Just what the function of this society is to be was not stated, but it is evident that the Cheney Normal has seen fit to apply a little survival of the fittest, such as we have. Ellensburg Normal has made it possible for all out of town students to be housed on the campus. Two hew dormitories have been occupied since the Christmas holidays. A REFLECTION OF IDEALS It is a familiar experience with anybody who has spent some years in college that the first two or three weeks in the quarter are replete with all kinds of social activities, which foster closer relationship among the students, and a better understanding and harmony between the student body and the faculty. In our own Normal schooLwe are not found wanting in these, the apparent essentials of college life. Last week we had the Get-together Mixer for all the students, so much boasted of by both students and faculty members; we heard also of the College informal, and, by the way, this club has as ONE of its aims, the fostering of high scholarship—which was not a failure; and this week, just watch the calendar and note how many more social functions" are in the waiting list. (CHARLES S. MOORE) O Life! thou'rt a .wave on the Ocean of Time, That moveth thyself to the'wind's wilful rhyme; Those winds are the passions that stir the cold heart, That causeth. the depths of emotions to start. Full oft, thou art fanned by the dulcets of lovc-^—• Full oft, the deep muttering storm cloud niay move Thee to fury, and lash thee, and cause thee to lie All trembling and white 'neath a storm beaten sky. Again thou'rt a mirror -neath the arabesqued blue, Reflecting the gods of the pure upper air; So limpid, translucent, thine opaline hue, That the stars in their courses seem not half so fair. Again thou'rt a besom of woe in'thy track, Destroying-the cliffs which stood judgment for years; Attacking the monotone creeds till they crack, Then breaking thyself into penitent tears. Ebullient wave, there is purpose divine, To sift out Life's actions, the coarse from the fine; To modify, stratify, move or retain; " . - To fashion the contour of Life's wide domain.

It is necessary - to lead yelling at a football game but yelling should not be forced or directed at a basketball contest. Lyman Stickney, although playing only in the last half was, in the eyes of Tubby Graves, Frosh mentor, by far the best guard in the Viking- Frosh contest Saturday.

In a thrilling contest—-one which saw the score tied at 3 3 all, with ifahit a minute to play—^-Gheney Normal nosed put Coach Sam Carver's Vikings 3 lt; gt;33, at Cheney, last night. The mix was equal to any ever played between two rival Normal schools of this state—-the Savages, huge favorites to cop, barely nosing through with the victory with but a few seconds to go.

The best of sportsmanship was displayed during the entire contest. Occie Thorsen played a bear of a «ame. HERE AND THERE The Junior Varsity is on its way to the Championship of the second half of the split schedule in Class B. -t Ellensbufg had a better team than was rumored around the Bellingham Normal.. MeClurken, the fast little Super-varsity man, has been playing some real basketball against the City League Class A teams. Bob Fisher found the basket in the Wrecker game. Art Isaacson's and Harry Bensen's names cannot be separated. The world must know that they, also, played great basketball against the Froeh.' Oscar Thorsen's work at center pot-itioa must be commented upon. Thorsen attacked up wen against the elongated Frosh center. FROSH DEFEATED In one of the fastest and most exciting basketball contests ever engaged by two normal schools of this state, the Bellingham Vikings defeated the Ellensburg Wildcats in two overtime .periods, 33-30, at Ellensburg last. Tuesday. At the end of the regular playing time, the score was deadlocked at 29 all; one five minute .session saw the tie unbroken, but in the second,. the Vikings broke loose to win the first tri-normal mix of the year. Vikings Get Early Start. The Vikings piled tip an early lead, playing bang-up basketball, and had a 20-14 lead at the end of the half, immediately after the opening of the second session, the Wildcats got going and completely outplayed Bellingham bringing the score up.to 29 all. Then came the thrilling finish. Jensen, with his broken nose, still far from healed," starred for Normal, playing a good floor game and leading .the scoring with 12 markers. _• Ray Odell who previously had scored 64 points in three games was held down to a surprisingly low total of 4 points. The Wildcat guards evidently had advance dope on how to check his peculiar hook- style shot. Team Played Well The Viking team as a whole displayed a good "brand of ball and deserved the victories. It was Ellens-burg that showed more unexpeted strength; • The Wildcats were rated as the weakest outfit among the three normals, but judging from Tuesday"s performance, will make trouble continually for Bellingham and Cheney in future engagements. The EllensburgrCheney-Wildcat-Savage set-to at Ellensburg Saturday, February 5, shold prove exceptionally interesting. The Viking's total score was contributed to by all the players, Jensen making twelve points; Keplinger, nine; Isaacson, five; Odell, four; and Bensen, three. on Strong Teams on Home Floors LEAGUE STANDING at Vikings, 32; Lyndeii, 24 .

The date for the initiation of new members. was set for next Tuesday evening, February I. Dorothy Jackson resigned her office as club reporter and Tony Mua-fcaeich. was appointed to fill the vacancy. The initiation, it is rumdred, is to be a mysterious affair to which" a number of members are looking forward with great joy and anticipation; that is, the older and already initiated ones. Needless to say, new members are also looking forward to the great event in various states of anticipation,. for they have: been warned to wear overalls and, aprons. •••• A promising schedule of educational and social programs is being planned for this- quai*ter, among "which will be the club's annual Valentine Party to be-held February 11. Camp Fire Girls Meet and Learn Art of Bandaging Jean Woll was elected president of the Klyteawo Camp Fire group at a meeting held Friday, January 21, at 12:30. Other officers are: Secretary-treasurer, Katherine Lawrence; and representative to the Inter-Club Coun cil, Lois Jeffers. Grace Sheldon, group guardian, had charge of the meeting. The Indian names and the ranks of all of the girls were recorded. Plans were made for the following meeting. In order to learn the different methods of bandaging, the group met Thursday night. Miss Kathleen ©'Malley demonstrated the work. Several Camp Fire songs which are to be sung at the Council Fire were practiced. ,. o—: Maurice Thomas, one of the officials at last Saturday night's basketball game, is now principal at Preston. Since graduating from Belling-ham Normal "Morry" has attended and graduated from the University of Washington, and recently has received an M.

A. meteings to include a deliberate study of the women of the Bible, from which real interest and spiritual help will undoubtedly be derived. All young women are cordially invited to attend the" regular meetings . at 4 o'clock every Thursday, in room 308. o— Following close on the heels of the hard Ellensburg and Cheney contests, the Vikings are to meet the Spokane College five tonight at Spokane. Little is known of the Collegians' strength this season, but last year Carver's men gained two easy victories over them, BO a hard tussle is not expected for the Normalites. There is a chance, however, that the Inland Empire boys may have a dark horse on hand, and, playing .on their own floor, may provide some real excitement. " By Althea Horst Raymond Courtesy vthe Bellingham Herald ; Themusical devotees of this, city were treated to a-• piano "concert which will long be remembered as the most artistic heard here for some time. Charming Elly Ney, the world famous pianiste, made her first appearance before a Bellingham audience. . A beautiful picture in, green and silver, sheVon her listeners from the start with her gracious manner. The program opened with the "Six .Variations in F Major" of Beethoven follows by the "Moonlight Sonata" by the same composer. The delicate tones of the first movement in contrast to the brilliant rendition of the last, made this oft played Sonata one of unusual interest. A lovely romance by Brahms and a stirring impromptu of Schubert, brought forth two encores of which the "Spinning Song" by Mendelssohn, proved most popular. From the moderns, /Mmo. Elly Ney chose three extremely interesting numbers th • "March of Prokief ief f", and "Dance d'Olaf", by Pick Man-giagalli, which was heard here for the first time, while the "Danse of Debussy*, played with beautiful shading gave a splendid finish to the group. Responds to Encore. . Of the all Chopin group whicvh concluded the "program the "Ballade in A Major," proved to be the climax of' the evening. Mme.'Ney responded very generously to two.encores, two danses of Beethoven and a restful lullaby of Brahms. No pianist, who has appeared here, has ever given us more real joy than Elly Ney. Such delicate thread-like playing and the tiny belllike tones • followed by the marvelous volume produced in heavy chord effects, certainly convinced us of her right to the title of queen of pianists. This concert was the second in the A N INSPIRATION TO HIKERS Or a Challenge to^the Kodaker. SNAPSHOTS WANTED FOR KLIPSUN SOON Good Snaps Now At Premium.

Viking Vodvil and Campus Day will soon be here, then'the dedication of the new library, Alumni Day, and graduation. . W i t h so much that is worth while about us, why not take advantage of it? We are here for one big purpose, but why study continually anfi keep our noses to the grindstone? A teacher who is one-sided never becomes a really successful teacher.

CLUB DEBATES TO DETERMINE TEAM TO BE HELD EDITORIAL School Forensic Representatives to be Chosen from Those on the Squads of Various Organizations T E A M IS T O BE STRONG Direct Primary Question Will be Subject of Tryout Debates; Much Enthusiasm Evidenced. T H E N A K E D T R U TH or W H A T T H E N E W ' D W E AR Is this the kind of girls we want at every Homecoming Dance?.. Oh, yes, you with your nice talk, from practice during assembly announcements, might say that she's the last thing for Frank Salisbury or Mr. Berg. But this school ain't "run to ruin" men sech az Earl Hemmi an Don Patterson, but to "build men," sech az Estelle Martinson mite say, if she tried to say any thing. ...Jest study the above pitcher of Matilda Quacken-Bush (Hurrah, it iz she). In faculty meeting the other s i t e Rice, who wasent at a wedding, sed Matilda wood be the life of any party, a nockout,—with the addition of a little gin, maybe. Hoo iz this girl tipping her hat to then? Yew dident think of that, did yew? And perhaps Mr. Ormiston eould tell why she iz putting her left foot out first. That's where the faculty started and lay down on" the job. They woodent raise any thing beyond her feet. Look at her right hand. Yew mite say it's only in her pockit. Check. But the next minute it mite be in some one else's pockit. Farther and yet more, where'd she get the fur fur them sleeves if someone wasent trying to educate the education teacher's daughter. Jest think this over over your week-end and then decide if you can "Go West" next Homecoming, and not hit the Armory. ...(This is just the first article of too many articles in a series of articles to be actually printedi—Co-ed Note.) Edens Hall gang are rank plagiarists. They've swiped the slogan of the Canadian Mounted Police, "We Get Our Menu" " * * • * - • * . . . - .. Now You Tell One. ^ 'ft ^wouldn't cross tAe street to see tte queen.:; But J I happened to be •;butao^8q;;i^ Inter-club debates for tryouts for the Normal debate team will be held during the latter part of November and early in December. The various clubs may select their teams in any way they prefer, and if any culb does not have a three-member team, its members may unite with those of another club in forming a team. That every club will in some way participate in these try-outs is the hope of the speech department. Those students who are not affiliated with any club team may form an independent team. Clubs and sponsors should report to Miss Cummins, cahirman of the Faculty Forensic committee, as soon as possible. A schedule of debates will be posted as soon as the participating clubs have reported. Political Question Used. That question to be used for the tryout debates is "Resolved: That the present primary system be abolished for the old convention system." The debate question of the Pi Kappa Delta debating fraternity will be used for debates which are to be arranged with some of the schools in this fraternity who are on tour. Last year fhe Normal men's team won a decision from a Colorado College team-, which is one of the strongest debating teams in the country. The Bellingham women's team last year debated with the College of the Pacific, from Stockton, California. The year before a strong team from the Oregon Agricultural College from Corvallis was met. Normal Has Record. By having permanently won the Allison tri-Normal cup in 1924, and by having defeated Cheney Normal in a dual engagement in 1925, Bellingham Normal has made a splendid record in debate. The questions to be debated this year are: For men, 'Resolved: That the Volstead act be modified to permit the manufacture and sale of light wines and beers"; and for women, "Resolved: That the federal govern-, ment adopt a uniform marriage and divorce law." As some of the strongest high schools in the state have representa-debate, and it is the belief of mem-tives here, there is much interest in bers of the Speech' department that our talent should be utilized. Honor System. Referring to the student opinion of last week, it seems as if the Honor System is a topic of annual discussion. It is a time worn subject colored by prejudice. The Honor System is a negative plan to prevent cheating. Students who come from the University of Washington say that it is a huge joke. Instead of removing the possibilities of cheating, the Honor System so-called, merely adds fuel to.the flame. It is an absurdity to think that a large number of students thrown upon their own resources (perhaps you wish to call it their honor) will not at some time or other cheat during an examination. At the Leland Stanford University a plan is in operation which does away with all the possibilities of cheating. It is reported that it works more efficiently than any other system in the country. We have such a system in our school, and it is working very satisfactorily, although it is not as yet so well established as the system is at Stanford. Students complain that they are being treated like children when asked by the instructor to sit two seats apart when writing an examination. No person whose conscience is clear is embarrased or agitated when receiving such instruction during a quizz. That the students who are continually agitating for an Honor System are those who find no opportunity to cheat under the present plan, it has been found. Get to work and the examinations will take care of them selves. HERE TONIGHT IN THE "DUMB BELL" New Stock Company to Make Debut in Normal School Auditorium with Experienced Cast.

CAN IT BE POSSIBLE THA T SKUNKS SHALL FIND ROOM IN OUR SHOW CASES AND TROPHIES HA VE NONE "Where in Sam Hill" are the Normal school trophies? If they are not worthy to be shown it surely must be an honor for those who won them for their Alma Mater. We, who are sophisticated enough to enjoy the trophies, •• feel that it. is better for all concerned to give them'some light. Do our trophies ever see the light? No! They are placed-in obscure out-of- the-way places. Any stranger entering our building in search of trophies for his collection would be out pi luck., . - We have ' a large number of trophies but how will the Frosh answer when asked ^in psychology, by Dr. Miller, 'where ." are our trophies kept?" We have no place in the hall to display these awards, but there.is always room .for a skunk in the case across from the English office. The spectacular advertisement cases out-.' side the;:C6-op. catch the eye of more students than our: trophy case. Only ^%bAinjdred and; fifty students are allowed to see the trophies, as they are now reposing in Sam Carver's, office. No wonder the door to the men's locker room is always guarded by Wendell Iverson and Leland Shelton. Not so much for the sake of the trophies as for a date. Last year we won a trophy in the Tulip Festival parade: How many of you co-eds have seen it? Pray tell us, nowivlt would be desirable to have 'the \ prizes yon display during Homecoming.' SorivTof" the returning grads who did not take anything with them when they graduated might be blessed with a mental impression of a trophy or two. Let's have a motion passed next student forum to add seven cents to registration fee and get a glass case. Come oh, be sports! v^hat-ido you say. Let's get a nice glass ease and use•. it. for 'a lt;trophy case: before Miss Rpsene cpjps, it and ;;p«8sesv^;-,in|o serviee^as 'U^fish^iaqusHriunii".'.; Jj}£\;i With the presentation of the "Dumb Bell" this evening at 8 p. m., in the Normal school auditorium, the Hodgins Players make their debut to Bellingham audiences. The Hodgins Players, a stock company composed of a personnel of actors and actresses, all of whom have had dramatic training and professional experience come highly recommended as players of the first magnitude. The company is composed of Earl Hodgins, Miss Leona Weber, Jim Hannah, Jack Smart, Bill Warsso, and Dorotlfy Macintosh. Hodgins as "Peggie" Earl Hodgins, who played the role of the "Cat" in the mystery melodrama, "The Cat and the Canary," presented recently at the Grand Theater, is the leading role in the "Dumb Bell." Miss Leola Weber impersonates very cleverly the character of "Rosalie," the feminine elad. Mr. Hodgins appeared formerly in productions on Broadway, in New York. He played opposite Marjorie Rambeau in "The Vagabond," his greatest success. Jack Smart, as the butler, gives a very fascinating character impersonation. The plot of the play revolves around "Reggie" and "Rosalie," the leading characters. "Marsha," played by Dorothy Macintosh, comes in for her share of attention in the formation of a triangle love affair. To Appear Every Friday. According to the latest information received, the Hodgins Players are scheduled to appear at the Normal School auditorium every Friday evening. Plays to be presented soon are: "Over There," Friday, November 19, and "The Bat," Friday, November 20. The complete itinerary of the Hodgins Players is, Mt. Vernon, Sunday; New Westminster, Monday and Tuesday; Anacortes, Wednesday; Lynden, Thursday; Normal School, Friday; and Sedro-Woolley, Saturday. o -,, Co-Op Store Gives Excellent Service Normal Students Motor Tests Will Discover Ability of Normal Women What is a normal young woman?

A. y. When' the Viking football team played last Saturday against the Cheney;• Normal eleven there was'.seen on. Waldo Field the usual thrill and exitement of this college game. The men of both teams played with such ! zeal and'enthusiasm, equaled only by ! their love and pride in their respective schools. They displayed the best of sportsmanship that was in them; they '"fought" to the very last of their endurance; they remained throughout faithful to the colors under which they played. These men, indeed, are the heroes in the making. Back to Work. The smoke of Homecoming has cleared away. The grads have returned to their schools, homes, and offices throughout the state. Starting Monday morning with newly concocted lessons the faculty have drowned the excitement of the two days of reckless abandon for the undergraduate. . -' " _Not only did the festivities provide a busy and restless week-end for the students, but of greater significance, Homecoming meant the brief return of the Alumni to school life. These people are the ones who have made the Normal, not you who are now in attendance. Proved by them is the ultimate value of this school, While only the third Homecoming in the twenty-seven years of the school, this annual feature has succeeded. Grads who remember their days at Normal will always anticipate this event if we but continue to make Homecoming and the school worthy of them. Glad were wje to have them back, and we hope that they rejoiced in being here. Football Is Being Kissed Goodbye. In a few weeks the Colleges and Universities throughout the United States and the World, will abandon the "gridiron" for the "lit court." Then exening performances will be in vogue. New faces will be seen and new names will be smeared* over the pages of the newspapers. T he very time of the performances on the "lit court" will be enough to draw one's attention to the romancers—"the prowlers of the night." Yesterday marked the stopping place for our gridiron history of 1926. We have enjoyed a fairly successful season. A good team has represented us in every battle. Clean sportsmanship has been the byword of every Viking on Coach Sam Carver's football aggregation. After all is said and done, however, when the final analysis has been made, and the ultimate conclusion has Keen drawn, what has been the significance of this football season? Let's Co to Alaska. Alaska envisages to many a land of fascination and reckless adventure. As a land where summer days are long and growth in nature is rapid and luxuriant, it is the El Dorado of our dreams. And they tell us that in that Northern land one is seldom..sick. Fevers, which tax the-travelers of south countries and create a morbidness and dullish languor are never known. Trekking over snow ridden hills bring in the late evening but healthy weariness and welcome sleep to the trapper. The Sourdough Club, an organization whose members have lived in Alaska or visited there, are editing a department of this issue of the Messenger. .Their contributions are attractive and provide for us an interesting acquaintance with one of the alert societies of the Normal.

The luncheon in Edens Hall and the Cafeteria Saturday noon was .well attended and the following numbers x gt;n the program given by students kept everyone in good spirits: College Club Quartette, W. A. A. Jinx, MacDowell Club Sextette, Philo Club act, violin solo by Irene Hagen, and a vocal solo by Ruth McCullough. Game Features Homecoming, The climax and one of the outstanding features of Homecoming came when most of Normal students, alumni and town people, dll eager and excited, watched Bellingham Normal win the footbaU • game from Following the game was the banquet for alumni and football men in Edens Hall. The-Cheney team was unable to stay but 250 attended, including Mr. and Mrs. Noah Shakespeare, of Everett, as honor gue.sts. Mr. Shakespeare is a member of the Board of Trustees. Miss Olive Edens was toastmis- • tress of the.evening and told the story of the "Prodigal Son" to fit the alumni at Homecoming. Mrs. Katherine Myers Hess, '24, entertained with three vocal solos. Pres. Fisher gave a talk on the "Significance of Homecomng" and Mr. Harold Smith led everyone in community singing. The Armory, decorated with streamers and footballs was the final place of enjoyment for the students at a dance in the evening and those attending the banquet joined them about fc:30. •'•:„•"'• '::' Homecoming this , year has left..; ah indelible inark on everyone: who was p r e s e n t ; •:•':;} • ; gt; ^7=^^^j::-- gt;Vo.'; O-Ii =;"i-:^:T--ui^-^'-';V.^: ?^-= After all, the assignments being given by Miss Wilson in her class in Library instruction, which formerly seemed long, tedious and boresome to many, are not really so. They are beginning to prove beneficial to those who, unfortunately, did not know what an atlas is before they came to the Normal. Of course there are those who had already learned some of these library tools in their high school days by dint of their curiosity instinct (?). '.'^RAdlO RECIPE" This goes to show that in the majority (perhaps) of cases, our difficulties are but blessings in disguise. And this sounds familiar to many. Speaking of school organizations, reminds me that in our school there seems to be a concentration of effort on the Literary club, which, in some cases like the Philos, also includes music. Why should there not be also an organization devoted to the study of parliamentary procedure? While we are here with an idea of becoming teachers, some day, who knows? We might also be entering the arena of politics and share in the work of the law-making bodies. Why should we not organize a Junior House, of Representatives, or a Junior Senate, and thus learn in theory and in practice parliamentary law' and procedure ? A little scrutiny of the pages of the Messenger would reveal that we have in our midst a reasonable number of men and women inclined to journalism. The presence of men and women with journalistic ambitions in this school strictly consecrated to the field of pedagogy calls attention to the fact that this phase of school work should merit more than a passing consideration. There must be established here a permanent source of stimuli, an appropriate and wholesome inducement to students to a more serious study of the newspaper work. We can do this in part by organizing a 'Scribe's Club," which shall try to promote interest and love in the Journalist's., work. in., various ways. ..Under the auspices of the culb, noted journalists of the city, the state, might be asked to give lectures on a line of journalism work which they have pursued or are actually pursuing... The value of this to would-be editors, publishers, and correspondents, cannot be overlooked. Then we might also organize an honorary journalism fraternity • and elect to its membership those Normal students: who deserve such an honor. Honorary journalism fraternities are found in all progressive colleges and universities ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 November 12 - Page 3 ---------- %M gt;~0s^^^M s^o^ VlkiNG| GLQSE GRIDSEASON BASKETBALL v BunmimmwtfiimnHniihnmiimuaiiBHiumnnauMiiiidi liipe^Vikiiigs To Open ^ VIKINGS WIN FROM CHENEY IN ANNUAL HOMECOMING GAME Carverites Avenge Themselves by Grid Classic, Playing Superior Football in Every Department. C A P T . ODELL B R I L L I A NT Cheney Held Scoreless After First Quarter. Seymour, Clarke Make Big Gains, with Line Invincible. With an attack that •could not be denied, Bellingham Normal thoroughly redeemed themselves, by'defeating Cheney Normal 9 to 3 in the annual Viking Homecoming classic. Although eliminated by Ellensburg from the championship race, the local team defeated the possibility of being the cellar occupants, and incidentally reaped revenge for last season's reverse at the hands of the Savages, Cheney Scores First. Cheney took advantage of an early break, a fumble in the fore part of : the first quarter, and when the Bellingham defense held, resorted successfully to a field goal. The first quarter ended with Cheney leading 3-0. Thereafter, however, the "Vikings started roughriding their heavier pedagogical rivals who came west for the Vikings' scalp. An oft prevented touchdown was pushed over shortly before half time. Turner, Cheney, signal barker was forced to punt from behind his goal due to a bad pass from center on the previous play. Bellingham starting on the 25-yard line "Seymoured" it al a bucks and passes to the 3-yard line, where Ted Clark slipped over. Odell's attempt to convert was blocked. Vikings Threaten Constantly. Throughout the second half the Vikings continued to play superior football. After pushing the ball to the Savages' two-yard line, a bad pass from center resulted in a twenty-yard loss. A drop kick by Odell was barely unsuccessful. Again in the fourth quarter, when the Cheney team was under its goal posts, Seymour lost his footing on the slippery field when 'attempting to pass and was downed for a loss. Odell again called upon to kick, planted the ball squarely between the uprights, boosting the total to 9 over 3 for Cheney. Cheney Nearly Scores. Cheney remained a threat throughout the game and nearly scored in the last quarter, when the Savage line broke through and blocked a punt, Farrier, end, grabbing the ball and tearing off 50 yards before he was stopped. Although in excellent scoring position, Cheney was helpless and the Vikings came out of danger as the game ended. ELLENSBURG MEETS CHENEY TOMORROW Ellensburg Normal will meet Cheney on the Savage's field tomorrow, as the" principal diversion on the lat-ter's annual Homecoming program. Ellensburg is the heavy favorite to win the mix by virtue of. her victory over the Vikings while Cheney succumbed to the Carverite's attack 9-3, here last week. Cheney, however, will have the advantage of being at home and playing before the home crowd. A. victory for Ellensburg will give them the Tri-Normal championship and a practically undisputed claim to the Northwest Minor College title. Last week the Wildcats tucked away another pelt when they defeated St. Martin's 13-0, at Ellensr burg. Robinson, Ellensburg halfback, starred, scoring both of Ellensburg's touchdowns as the result of Jong end, runs. The Normal team held the advantage throughout the game.

GIRLS TO PLAY OFF ATHLETIC CONTEST Schedule of Five Games Arranged. Season to Last From Nov. 15 to Nov. 24. Captains Are Chosen. In order that every girl who is turning out fo rone of the three major sports, Hockey, Soccer, or Volley Ball, may have a chance to play on a team, a schedule of intra-inural games has been arranged. The aim of these intra-mural games is to bring out mass participation and also to give Freshmen and Sophomore girls a chance to play together instead of against each other as they would do in class games. The season for these games will extend from November 15 to November 24. The girls are electing their captains and deciding upon a name for their team. There will be five intra-mural teams in soccer, two in hockey, and four in volley ball. Some novice games will be played by those who do not make the class teams in connection with the class games. Class turnouts will be resumed on Monday, November 29, following Thanksgiving vacation, and all games, both intra-mural and class, will be over by December 10. The upper sections of the P. E. I classes will play off inter-class games toward the end of the quarter. Intramural games will be played at four o'clock, although it may be necessary to play off some of the soccer games at 12 o'clock, _ because of the fact that some girls are turning out for more than one sport. Orange and green blazers will be used to distinguish the teams on the field. INTEREST IS SHOWN IN SPLASH HOUR Arangements Made by Jean Woll. Swimming Hour at Y. W . C. A. Next Recreation Hour Nov. 9. The Splash Hour at the Y., last Friday, was enjoyed by 22 girls. Many advanced swimmers as well as beginners, took advantage of this extra dip hour to brush up oh fancy strokes.

The sunshine is fading, and those wierd, gray, twilight days are beginning to dawn. On a clear, cold, dark night the play of the Aurora appears. It seems like a myriad of dancing nymphs in the sky, with fluttering drapes in pastel shades, and filmy as cobwebs. Soon the snow will come.1 Then, when the brilliant, glaring moonlight sets it all aglow, there is a feeling of vastness, silence, and awe. It grips you, and you like it, you don't know why. The malamute chorus is heard, and you shudder. A stray wolf howls, and you think it wierd. You think of the wheels of time—the winter days just starting, and you shake up the fire and settle down snugly in your cabin with a feeling of safety and content. : The winters in Alaska are mar-velou. Everyone is preparedt in advance to meet the needs of the season. Comforts are plenty, and hardships are mostly tales of the past. The pleasures are the chief concern of the winter. It is a time for sleighing, skiing, snow-shoeing, hunting, trapping, and other northern sports. One of the most enjoyable sports ,in Alaska is to mush dogs, or even • to be tucked in a nice big basket : sleigh, and let a regular niusher do •the driving. The sleigh is comfort- • able with soft, warm furs and robes; ;you are strapped safely in. The musher, often a husky native, stands on the runners, in back of the sled, holding the handle bars to guide, shouts to the dogs, and away you go! All is still, save for the tinkle of bells on the dogs' harness and the occasional shouting of the musher to ; the dogs. The Alaskan dogs are the most interesting and intelligent creatures imaginable. They know where the ice is safe and where there is danger. They can take you safely over any trail by day or night, and they are to ALASKAN GLACIER, As Seen from the Steamship Alameda. be depended upon. I have safely traveled over a river trail at night when it was so dark that I could see nothing before me. There were many dangerous holes and crannies in the ice. The dogs had the entire responsibility. Sometimes they would come to a stop, back away, and swerve in another direction, Again the speed was picked up and I knew that we had safely passed a hole. The leader is the cleverest dog of the team, and travels alone, taking responsibility of sounding the ice, selecting the safest route, and leading the others. The other dogs work in pairs, and usually obey their lead er very*Vell. The dogs are very strong, active, and powerful. If you wish to test their strength, just take a team out alone and try to stop them when they see a fox or a rabbit that they want to chase. Finally, the grayness of the days lessens, a sunbeam appears on the scene, and then, by leaps and bounds, the spring is on hand. With it come floods of sunshine. It is deeply appreciated after having been absent about four months. Everything takes on an air of renewed brightness, happiness, and new life. The ice breaks up and the rivers start moving again. All Alaska gambols on the date of the "break up." This is a big feature of the end of the winter each year. It has become a custom, and everyone looks forward to the ice-pool contest, and it's pot of gold for the winner. The. dogs have finished their winter's work and retire for the summer, to bask in the sun and eat dried fish. Tlie days lengthen so rapidly, that by the twenty-first of June we are enjoying- the midnight sun. In this season everyone is busy. The days run on into the night, and the beauty of the sky and landscape is beyond mere words. The vegetation, flowers and small plants, vegetable gardens, etc., grow two or three times as fast as those in the States. This is to be expected, when you realize that the sun is shining on them two to three times as long each day as it does here. Alaska is a flower garden in the summer time. The flowers are deep in color, large, of many kinds, and very plentiful. It is bounteous in.wild blueberries, strawberries, rasperries, cranberries, etc. ' Alaska is ideal for hunting and fishing. It has a wealth of natural resources. It's people are sturdy, and brave, with hearts of gold and with an everlasting devotion to their chosen land. Alaska is our very own! A territory of the United States. Get acquainted with it. It's big, open, and full of opportunities; and besides, it is a dreamland. —Mamie Clark. li^f ^ Knick Knacks . ^ 3S FOR KNICK KNACKS.

The Responsibility of This Normal School. • Bellingham Normal has a heavy responsibility in connection with education in Alaska. Because of its nearness- to Seattle, the point of embarkation for our northern territory, it ^furnishes the most convenient place for teacher training. i Therefore, it follows' that the "jjnethods of teaching, the school -background of culture, and the ideals ;_of citizenship^ given to the -Alaska ^jehildreh are largely those formulated : %r developed at this Normal school. ^Although Alaska is small in population she is:great in her almost un- -Cjbouched natural resources, and con-.

These Freshmen, they're like the poor, we have them with us always. Even when we learned Sophs sojourn to the Library for a couple of hours of uninterrupted gleaning of book lore each night, lo, they are with us still. We call for a book at the desk— It's gone, some Freshman has it, and is busily looking at the pictures and sounding out the words, his finger in his mouth. We go to the card catalog, intent upon getting references oh the subject of Psychoanalysis, but some Freshman has the whole drawer and is feverishly copying the contents on a ream of paper. Sighing resignedly, we move around to the encyclopedia shelves. Surely we'll find it there. Let's see— volume twenty-three, not there. We look again; maybe it's misplaced. Yes, it's misplaced all right. One of our verdant friends is sitting propped up in the window laboriously going through the account of the work of Pythagoras, and having an heroic fight to keep from going to sleep and yet maintain an expression of bored intelligence. . With a feeling of martyrdom we move on up the Library and resolve to look on the shelves for material. We find the place and are deep in the perusal of facts when the silence is shattered by a sibilant whisper which may be heard as far as Edens Hall, "Say, would you mind moving over?
