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.

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 !

A roati-i riee for grade children at 2:00 p. m., proved interesting and successful to a crowded house. There was a fairly large group of people at t h e evening performance and the players with their clever faces and sharp jointed walk creat ' e d many laughs. The intricacy of the 500 strings used in the play caused much* enthusiasm and ap plause was loud when the stringed cow and dog leaned gradually across the stage. .,. Old Rip, with his low, easygoing voice was master of the.show, al though his dame and daughter had their parts, too. 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."

'^^{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.

Percy Stoppit) Though He Was a Confederate Soldier He Wore a Union Suit. He: When I was young, my doctor told me r d become feebleminded if I didn't quit smoking She: Why didn'tcha stop? "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).

BELL1NGHAM. WASHINGTON MORONI OLSEN PLAY I DEtlOHTS Janet Young: Does Finest Pieced of ' ^ o r k in Her Career in ^Mystery ;PIayi'"'••'Many Old' Favorites Seen. '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.

Yet I find myself fostering the brainchild of as aggressive a pair of columnists as ever, ramped over the front page of a Normal school publication. So, not knowing what else to do with it, I shall take the little roughneck and make a gentleman out of Nonnalite. W. S. N. S.- Last week in assembly Nathan •Stewart rendered a program of baritone solos. After several groups from the recognized literature of music, he sang "Old Man River", from "Showboat". Whereas his first numbers stimulated a serious and appreciative response, the applause following "Old Man River" was deafening, and the artist was held several minutes after the bell rang for dismissal, which is an extraordinary occurrence for the student body. We will grant that our assembly concerts are gradually raising the level of student appreciation for the values of pure, music, but since an artist should also move his audience by vibrating the most responsive chords in us, then "Old Man River" was the best concert number that has been heard in the auditorium in some little time. We wonder if there wouldn't be more of these semi-popular pieces on cur concert programs if there were fewer of the critical "intellectuals" in the audience. We would like to see this sort of thing recommended to our entertainers, with the request that they replace some of their Arias with some of our Songs. We would probably have more of "Old Man River" if it could be run on the program as "Ber Alte Herr Fluss Des Schauboot". - rW.'S. N. S. Only College Symphonic Band on Tour of America Will Appear at Mt. Baker Theater, Wednesday. STUDENT TICKETS ADMIT Concerts Are Under Direction of James Robert Gillette, Who Is a Nationally Known Organist. Monday night, Efram Zimbalist will play at the Christian Church. According to musicians with whom we have talked, he is one of the few outstanding violinists of the world. Little things like lesson plans or coming examinations., should., not prevent., a.. Normal., student from hearing a really great artist perform on the most eloquent., of., all musical instruments, yet there will be a great many who,., because., of various matters of seeming importance, will fail to attend. That students are to be admitted on their activities tickets, in our opinion, is one of the finest privileges of Normal life. W. S. N. S. The Carleton Symphony band from Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, the only college symphonic band on tour of America, \ has been engaged for a concert here under the auspices of the Belling-ham State Normal and the Women's Music club, at the Mount J3aker Theater next Wednesday, January 29, at 8:15. They will also present a concert there in the afternoon at 2:30. The concerts will be under the direction of James Robert Gillette, nationally known organist and pioneer in the symphony band movement.

Nilssen Favorable The noted music critic. Dr. Victor Nilsson, wrote in a Minneapolis Journal, after a concert, "It is very seldom you have occasion to hear such splendid playing. There were no blatant tones and no lowering of standards as supposed necessary concessions to an audience". Miss Dorothea Helinius, soprano, will be the soloist for the evening concert.

Here is a little editorial we read last week. It is worthy of consideration. "Speaking at a college conference at New York, Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior and former president of Leland Stan-for Junior university, declared that the four-year college., course., has served its time and is dropping out of the picture. He added that the A. B. degree is also going. "Dr. WilDur shows that he is cognizant of a fact that is still beyond the view of the great mass of myopic educators. They were brought up under the old freshman-sophomore-junior- senior system, and they feel —not think—that it expresses the last word cf wisdom just because it is old and venerable, not to say out of date. If the gropers for a system in the old days had hit upon a five-year college course that would be urged on us today by colleges for the same reason. Miss Anna Ullin is teaming a rather extraordinary advanced German class this quarter, consisting mainly of faculty members as pupils. Among these are: Misses Nora B. Cummins and Ruth Kangley, and Messrs. Edward Amtzen, H. E. Fowler, and Harold B. Smith. o President C. H. Fisher delivered an address in Mount Vernon last Tuesday morning before an assembly of the Junior College. The assembly was held in the high school auditorium. The outstanding dance of the year as to originality and novelty will be the women's informal to be given at the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel, February 28. The dance will be a source of surprises from the programs to the decorations and entertainment. An unusual surprise stunt will be given during intermission which will climax the night's program. Tickets Sold Out Although 150 tickets were placed on sale, the entire group is practically gene, showing an unusual interest among the students in the dance. Programs have gone to print but will not be ready to be given out until late next month. The programs will carry out the Night Club idea, which will predominate in the decorations and entertainment, in brilliant colors. Girls will be able to get programs to match their dresses because of the variety of colors. Work on the dance, as. a whole, is progressing nicely, according to Dorothy Sasse, general chairman. Others en the different committees are: Ruth Shepherd, program and decorations; Margaret Morrison, Katherine Friese, Mary Elizabeth Fowler, " Louisette Bergeron, Lois Slater, Ruth Sammons, and Blanche Gordon, tickets. Erickson Speaks to Primary Teachers Miss Emma Erickson of the Normal faculty, was the main speaker at the regular meeting of the Bel1 lingham primary council, held Thursday, January 16. The council consists of all the primary teachers in the city grade schools. "The individual child and his animosities", was the subject of Miss Erickson's talk, in which she spoke on the causes of this misfit child's failure in school and the possible remedies. She showed the necessity of recognizing this individual and treating him accordingly. One of the most brilliant members of the violin world, Efrem Zimbalist. will appear at the First Christian Church in a concert next Monday at 8:15 p. m., under the auspices of the Bellingham .Normal school and the Bellingham Women's Music club. Although he was born in Russia he is now a citizen of the United States and has a winter home in New York and a summer home in Connecticut where he and his wife, the former Alma Gluck, renowned soprano, live happily with their two children. * Showed Talent Early Zimbalist showed his remarkable music gifts so young that at nine years of age he became the first violinist in a grand opera orchestra, i n the autumn of 1903, at the age of fourteen, his father sent him to the Imperial Conservatory in Petrograd, where he studied under Professor Leopold Auer. He was graduated with high honors having won the coveted gold medal and the Rubenstein scholarship of 12,000 rubles. He made his Boston debut with the Symphony orchestra there, giving his first concert in America of Glazounow's "A Minor Concert". Many Novelties He has introduced two American concertos, that of Schelling and Powell, and one by Frederick Stock. He 'enlisted the aid of Josef Hof-mann, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Gabri-lowitsch, Siloti, Achron and Stasse-witsh at a concert which he sponsored in honor of his former teacher, Leopold Auer, in 1925. The most striking moment of the evening came when Zimbalist and Jascha Heifetz played a triple concerto with Leopold Auer, who still plays with the art and fire cf his virtuoso days.

What's in a name? Usually one name is as good as another, but in some cases misleading names are either very tragic or, going to the other extreme, they result in jokes. Now, when is an "Informal" not ah "Informal"? Everytime some organization up here sponsors a quarterly dance and dubs it "INF O R M A L " . True, the dances given up here are not altogether formal, only half so in that the girls wear evening dress and the majority of the men do not. At a school of this size it is only fair that the men should not be required to wear dress suits, but girls are expected and want to wear their evening gowns. Well, there is no argument there—only in this name, "Informal". The dance need not go to the other extreme and acquire the title of "Formal", but just plain "dance" would be better or perhaps some clever, creative person might be able to think up an original title that would fit. The evening's entertainment certainly cannot properly be called an "Informal" nor will "Formal" be any better—-something just between the two. •' . Is it just a habit, a rut that we have fallen into that makes us hang to that out-of-date name, "Informal"? Maybe the.dances were at one time informal, but they certainly are not any more. Women's League, you've always been leaders in progress, snap out of your lethargy and coin a new name for your dance and keep, al\ove all, that incorrect title, "Informal" O U T of your programs. ' Think, the beaulfiul setting of the new crystal ballroom, girls in lovely, graceful dresses, programs, soft lights, the music—Good heaven's, and you call it "Informal"! W e ; (and I think I am safe in speaking for ihe majority of the members) want a new name for our quarterly dance. Can't some euggestions be made or some names be suggested at the meeting of the Women's League next Friday morning ? This coming dance distinguished by the "Night Club Idea", promises to make real history for the Womens League. All the members of the League are eagerly anticipating this social event and want nothing to mar the glamor of the evening and isn't it true that the name "Informal" detracts from the charm of the evening? o O U R MUSICAL W E EK Next week promises to be a banner week in the history of Normal's musical course since it includes two, concerts by world -renowned musicians. The first recital, next Monday evening at the First Christian Church, will be given by Efrem Zimbalist. He is one of the greatest violinists living today and plays on one of the four existing Stradivarian violins. It is. a concert that not one cf us should miss. The second concer":, which will come two days later, Wednesday, will be presented by the famous CarleLon Symphony Band at ihe Mount Baker Theater and is certainly an event in the musical world of the Norlhwest. Both of these entertainments are sponsored by the Normal and the local Women's Music club. These concerts will make musical history in the Northwest, and it is desired that every Normal member attend. Student tickets anmit, so there is little rearon for not going. We are sure our instructors will be lenient and forgiving if lessons are somewhat hastily prepared on the"-following days. For after all, we seldom get to hear musicians of this type and fame in our lifetime. . M O R E S T U D E N T S A R E T R I U M P H A NT This morning in assembly, you listened to a very fine recital by our own students. It is this kind of numbers that makes us feel bur student body is worth while and a great deal of praise is'due those who participated. We are anxious to have more of these "home talent" assemblies. D U R E N C E A U FOLIO IS A D D E D T O COLLECTION The Art department has added a valuable book to its already interesting collection of art objects. It is a folio of twenty-four colored pages of modern decorative art designs by Andre Durenceau, formerly of Paris, but now living in the United "States, having come here five years ago. Since his arrival he has been applying the American conception to his work, which is. exceptionally practical and beautiful, inpluding dcorative textiles and other decorations. Exhibit in Future This folio will be one of the main features in the exhibit of modernistic design which the Art department will sponsor in the near fut u r e . v;': Other forms of. modernistic a r t to be shown are textiles, pictures, and draperies. ' YOUNG VIOLINIST SHOWS ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT Miss Ruth Wilson of Los Angeles, a prize winner in a contest sponsored by the National Federation of Women's Music Clubs, gave a violin concert in the last Tuesday's assembly. Miss Wilson's intensity and absorption in her music denoted the artistic temperament. She played equally well the vibrant, throbbing "Hungarian Dance" and the low, singing "Lotus Land." The young violinist shows promise of great possibilities in the musical world. '• 0— ; ' WERSEN GOES HOME Ruth Wersen, a freshman at Normal, returned to her home in Mount Vernon, Friday, January 17, because of illness. • "•']•. • : Student Forum ^ Topic Reviewed By a Reporter By EDNA B. FINLEY At the Student Forum last Sunday the question discussed was "To what extent is a school responsible for the moral education of students?" In discussing whether or not a school should be responsible, it was brought out that morals in the broad sense cannot be separated from daily living; are moral choices exercised constantly. Also, the school in recommending students for teaching positions is asked to do so on a basis of character as well as scholarshhip, therefore it cannot escape the question. "And besides this there is the influence of these prospective teachers upon the children of the state to be considered. The school recognizes this by the statement that a student must give evidences of good moral character j to remain in school. But two other thoughts were brought out that are not so generally recognized. One is that the school has a responsibility to protect students from thieving and so forth, and that the students have an individual responsibility toward the group. One method that has been used with success in other schools is to employ private detectives to apprehend the thieves, who are usually found to be a very small percentage of the student body. It became necessary to do that at this school twelve years ago. It was thought to be more moral to report a person who is known to be thieving, as it is a case of protecting the interest of the group, as against shielding one person. It was also pointed out that very little is known about the principles of moral education. Such an education based on religion is by no means infallibly conducive to good conduct, even in an age of faith. In an age of reason, it often results in young people, who generally lose their faith at a critical period in their lives, supposing that there is no rational basis for right conduct. Applying this to Normal, it is declared that the Orientation courses in Science and History offer a distinct spiritual shock and are quite disrupting to many students. Having been forced to see the truth of the scientific explanation of the origin of the earth and the biochemical origin of life, they proceed with the rashness of youth to throw away the Bible in its entirety. They also believe, though quite falsely, that the moral code of behavior is founded upon the Bible, whereas in truth it has grown up through social agreement during many centuries and the Bible has been only one factor, though a very large one. It was suggested that the instructors have an eye to the building up process as well as the tearing down, and that the fact that religious instruction is barred in the schools is not a hindering factor, in that it can be approached from the scientific standpoint of effect upon the individual. Another good suggestion was that a shelf of books be provided, the very best books on young peoples problems, and put together in an easily accessible place. • o _ LIBRARY HAS EXHIBIT Headquarters For^, '•.'.'•• D.

He is quoted as saying that the marvelous instrument has retained its beautiful tone and is in a perfect state of preservation. According to Zimbalist, the best authorities in Europe claim the Titian- to be one of the four greatest existing instruments, the others being the Joachim, owned by a Berlin banker who is a descendant of Mendelssohn; the Alard, in possession of a wealthy Scotch family, and the Messiar, which ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 January 24 - Page 3 ---------- M00- WASHINGTON ST^TT^NORP^ "W:mmmmmmmm^mmii IJVoVf A VI / W-'v«y!!VSV«W!!VS/!l\^! gt;Vtj/! gt;\f i/ lt;!' SPORT BRIEFS h n o i) i ~g6 Now that the tragedy of EUensburg' is over, we can turn our eyes to Cheney and hope. Of course those defeats at the hands of the Wildcats were tougi, but after all they have one of the best teams in the state, so what can you expect? But we have heard of no great victories by our Redskin foes, so, maybe tonight will be different. All loyal students are expected to be sitting on the front porch early tomorrow morning to get the morning paper and the glad news at the "earliest possible moment. * * *' * - If you want to see a line-up of tough looking hombres, just take a look at the U. of W. basketball squad as shown in Wednesday morning's Herald. If those big boys don't crack somebody's pate this year, , looks are certainly deceiving. * * * # We noticed in the press the other day that Arthur, The Great Shioes, was absolutely forbidden to fight by the big man of baseball, Commissioner Landis. Well, maybe a baseball player shouldn't box, but here's hoping the football coaches don't get any such ideas about pigskin warriors, for we might then lose the services of our great Lester for our "smoker". That is, if we don't lose the ' smoker" itself. It seems impossible of course, that anything like thai could happen, but if somebody doesn't do something, the thing will die a natural death. There's only eight more weeks in this quarter, so, if anybody wants the performance before next Fall they had better start talking it up. ** * * * * The town seems crowded with entertainment tonight, for the sport fans. Of course we have our usual allowance of High School games, when Whatcom and Lynden battle on the north front, and Fairhaven and Sumas-Nooksack play on the southside floor... But the most important, greatest, and most unusual event of the evening is the third and final block of three-cushion billiard match... So if you crave., more., excitement than the high school teams can offer, trot up to the Bellingham Recreational rooms. And the best part is that the affair is sueh that you can leave your much punished pocketbook at home. o — AIR SCHOOL MAKE VIKINGS LOSE TWO TRI-NORMALGAMES TO WILDCAT TEAM EUensburg Takes First Game on Monday by Score of 28 to 20, and Second, Tuesday, 58 to 17.

The crew of Vikings that left their ship at Bellingham and started a long journey over East of the mountains, were held at bay by a snappy pack of Wildcats as they tried twice to conquer the Ellens-burg stronghold. The Vikings lost Monday night by a 28-20 score, and were forced to make a long retreat Tuesday night, when they were smothered with a 59-17 score. However, despite the two setbacks the locals still have a chance to make good showings in other Tri-normal games. EUensburg has an unusually strong team this year, haying defeated Whitman and coming close to winning from the Conference leading W. S. C. team. Last night the Vikings played the Yakima Junior College, which ended .... to .... and tonight and tomorrow night they will play the Cheney Savages. In the first game the losers were far behind, 16-3, at half time. In the second half the Bellingham team showed their true Norsk spirit by out-scoring the victors by five points but the early odds had piled too high against them. Pederson led the attack in the last half and thus became the star of the game by scoring 13 markers. In the second game the Vikings gradually dropped behind and were never able to head the Wildcats. At half time the EUensburg quintet had the lead 32-13, and then scored 27 points to the "locals four in the last half. Erickson was the only loser to score heavily, making 8 points. The second contest proved slightly rough as far as the number' of fouls caUed. The two Bellingham guards, Thorsen and Pederson, both left the game with four personals. However, four of the winning combination were forced out via .this same route.

This game supposed to be one of the high spots of the intra-mural season, ended 17-9 in favor of the Philos. Brazas High Point Very little scoring was done by either team and every basket was earned. Brazas, Philo forward, was high man of the game with eleven points, four field goals and three tosses from the foul line. The Thespian team converted five free throws and these .-along with H.

George took eleven girls on a hike to Toad Lake last Saturday. It was frozen over and the girls had a good time watching a few skaters performing on it. . The hiU on the far side of the lake was also climbed. From the top a wonderful view of the country for miles around could be seen. Every girl in school is invited to attend these hikes which are usually taken every Satxirday. The Fairhaveii Grizzlies swept the Whatcom Redskins. from their path last Tuesday, as they continued their march toward the goal of a season without a defeat. The" Whatcom gymnasium was filled to overflowing as a wild crowd saw the Southsiders give their host an 18 to 15 beating. . ' ' The game had the crowd in hysterics, with Fairhaven holding a slim lead up until within three minutes of the end of the contest, when Bliss scored a field goal to tie the score at 15 to 15. Haickel, Fairhaven forward, then stepped into the breach and scored a foul shot and field goal to put the game on ice for Fairhaven. Clen-denen, Whatcom forward, was high point man with ten markers. Haickel was next with nine. In the other class "A" games, Lynden defeated Mt. Baker 34 to 24 and Blaine beat Sumas-Nooksack 37 to 18. Both games were played on the winner's floors. —o P. E. TEACHERS TAKE MT. BAKER SKI TRIP Miss Margery Horton and Miss Ruth Weythman, members of the Mount Baker Club, went with the other 14 members on a skiing trip, last 'week-end. They left Saturday evening and stayed at Glacier all night. In the morning they went to Shuksan by car and hiked in 4 miles. They skiied for 6 miles toward the meadows and then made the return trip. It was a hike of twenty miles and the two teachers were very tired when they arrived home that night. o TERRACE HOUSE NOTES The girls at Terrace House were given a waffle supper Friday night-by their house mother, Mrs. McCor-mick. After supper the girls spent an enjoyable evening playing cards and roasting marshmallows. Those present were: Gladys Hansen, Jeanette Robillard, Dorothy Hep-penstaU, Marvel and GenitaHayse. o — THOMAS MANOR * Felicia Szambellan, one of the girls at the house last quarter, returned to school Monday, January 20.

Bay Scores 17 Markers; Hayes Is Next With 10; Smith Makes High Score for Power Team, With 10. Taking matters rather easily, a new-formed Jayvee team took the measure of the P. S. P. L. quintet to the tune of 43-23. The new Jayvee team, made up of mostly fox-mer inter-mural stars, started things off with a bang when Pitt Smith, diminutive forward, found the basket twice in the first minute of the game. The, Power team tried hard, but was •entirely outclassed by the fast breaking of the Noz'mal babes. Bay, for the Jayvees, was high-point man with 17. markers to his crdeit; Hayes was next with 10. Smith was the best bet for the Power team, with 10 baskets. Cole played a consistent game at guard for the winners. The line-up: Jayvee, 43 P. S. P.

I The rural training schools are giving out 3 times a year, to the par- ;ents, a report - card emphasizing jhabits and application of students ;to the work in school. Miss Orpha iMcPhersoh, with the help of several teachers, worked out the plan for 'ithe cards at the beginning of the School year and has given the cards out this year for the first time.:;* "'• ' ' T h e cards report the habits in each of the subjects taken, and how the student rates in comparison with tus natural ability. For instance, under citizenship there are 8 points ^in which pupils are graded: 1. Defends on himself whenever possible; 2. Does his share in the group; 3. Consider the rights of others; 4. shows tolerance toward others; 5. Takes care of materials and school property; 6. Makes valuable use of his time; 7. Follows directions; 8. Furnishes his share of materials. Other subjects in which the student Is graded are: Reading, social science, language, music, industrial arts, fine arts,, spelling, arithmetic, writing, and health. Parents Co-operate The cards give the parents a fair basis on which tc* judge the children and in which lines they need the most careful watching. It helps the child too, to recognize in himself his worst faults and gives him a chance to overcome his difficulties, thus starting him in young to break bad habits and start good ones. Parents are co-operating with the teachers through these cards and are watching their children and helping them in all ways possible. The regular grade cards are issued every six weeks, as usual, and give information regarding the average of work performed by the student in his studies. — o SONG CONTEST DATE SET FOR FEBRUARY 28 'v.nfr.inued from Page One) school. 7.

Climens of Pensacola, Florida, Thursday, January 16. The announcement was made at an informal party for the girls of the house, in which the ceiling held slips of white paper tell the story. The room was daintily lighted with blue candles, and decorations and refreshments carried out the color scheme of blue and white. Mr. Clemmens is in the navy air service at Pensacola. This is the second engagement at Thomas Manor during the school year. Florence Pearson announced her engagement to Morris Hover, of Portland, Ore., last fall quarter. House elections for Thomas Manor were held Thursday, January; 9, to determine the officers for the present quarter. Louise Smith was elected president, succeeding Kath-erine Zeran. Marion Marchand was chosen social secretary, the position held by Marjorie Tuttle last quarter. A treasurer, an officer not usually active in the organized houses was elected to look after the collecting of house dues and other odd expenses which might occur.

WARD REPLACES ELLIS Bill Ward is ' working in the cafeteria this quarter in the place of Thad Ellis, who has accepted a position at the dormitory. o :— CHORAL CLUB The meeting the Choral club held last Tuesday resulted in a bigger turnout. - There were about 100 members out with an increase of 12 boys. More enthusiasm was shown and everything points to a successful season but in spite of this these is a need for more members, especially those who sing soprano, tenor or bass. Another increase like this next week will see the club sailing onward to success. , : : —o : Mr. Harold B. Smith was confined to his home a few days.last week on account of illness. o— '•— NESIKA LODGE Marybeth Parkhurst and Joyce King spent the week-end in Seattle.

Cecile Rambo is assisting Miss Farlowe at the charging desk in the library. MRPiiEYlLEGTED TO PROGRAM OFFICE Vera Porteous Gives Door-opener Discussion Concerning Citizenship " Utider'Riissia's Noble Experiment. For all its earnestness, the International Relations Club never can be dry; elements of the bizarre and romantic are always popping up in their serious discussions of far places and strange pefoples. The "Land of the Soviets", of which the I. R. C. is making a special study this quarter, is peculiarly productive of these elements* perhaps the more so because so little reliable information has. come out* of Russia in the past ten years that our generation may be said to have "grown up in ignorance" of the truly remarkable things that have been going on there. Russia Discussed The discussion Vera Porteous gave at the last meeting, concerning citizenship in the Soviet Republic, was a door-opener to an understanding of the novel manner in which affairs are conducted in Russia's noble experiment. Mrs. Goodenough gave the club a digest of a National Geographic article on Russia. Gertrude Ward spoke on the five-power naval conference. Phil Davis made a start on the tale of his trip to Louisiana, via Panama, Colombia, and Mexico and back by the Old Spanish Trail and the Pacific Highway. Mrs. Edna B. Finley was elected to perform the functions of chairman of the program committee. In spite of the international spirit this club has never bene very cosmopolitan, but from now on it is intended to make an effort to make it more so. o STUDENT TEACHER ILL Elsie Canfield, a special student teacher of this quarter, had to return to her home in Puyaliup, because of illness. She will be back next quarter. •—o Ruth Wilson, violinist, and Dorothy Robinson, pianist, who provided the program for Tuesday's assembly were entertained at luncheon Tuesday by the MacDowell club members in their club rooms at Edens Hall.

Tomorrow evening, the big gym will be transformed into a colonial ball room filled with "old-fashioned girls", and gentlemen in honor of George Washington and his time. In keeping with the Colonial times, a few Virginia reels and stately minuets have been planned for the evening, interspersed with the more modern dance tunes. Several special numbers will feature the program. All Sophomore girls are urged to attend in costume if possible, and all the men in the school are cordially invited. To quote Mr. Thorpe in his assembly announcement of the affair, "real food, not cookies and punch, will be served". OUR WASHINGTON Tomorrow marks the birthday anniversary of the "Father of our Country", George Washington. We, Americans, will ever continue to remember that date. It reawakens in us a filial veneration for his memory; it rekindles the fires of patriotic regard for the country he loved so well. His memory should be first and most sacred in our lives and ever hereafter, "till the last drop of blood shall freeze in the last American heart, his name shall be a spell of power and of might". How proud we are that our state over which we are so enthusiastic at present, was named for him. He, about whom we can associate no dogma of politics, no creed, no party, no sectional prejudice nor bias but only those qualities which go to make up the matchless glory of his life. Rufus Choate has said that "the first love of Young America was Washington. The first word she lisped was his name. Her earliest breath spoke it. It is still her proud ejaculation; and it will be the last gasp of her expiring life!" o THEATRE GUILD A great many Normal students should be in attendance Tuesday evening to witness the presentation of "Dulcy," by the Bellingham Theatre Guild, not only to see a good play, but to insure support for the local people who are furthering an important national movement. The Theatre Guild, because of their unique organization and the character of the people who are attracted to membership, are making it possible for people all, over America to witness worth-while dramatic productions. The success of the Guild movement throughout the United States evidences the fact that the taste for the fineness and depth and beauty of a well-interpreted drama has not entirely been drowned in the flood of talking-movies, vaudeville, and jazz. o— — WASHINGTON WEEK Washington Week has re-emphasized to people who have taken occasion to survey the development of the State that almost without our being conscious of it this young commonwealth of ours is expanding into a Western Empire of almost unlimited possibilities. Washington sits looking over the Pacific with much of the natural wealth of the United States in her lap, from timber, minerals, and agricultural resources to the most magnificent group of inland harbors in the world. Hers, too, is the key to Alaska, and. the gateway to the ever-increasing commerce of the Orient. The theatre of world events is rapidly shifting to the Pacific. With the young and virile nations that rim the Pacific pressing forward to new heights of development, and the ancient empires of the Orient awakening from lethargy to adapt themselves to the exciting tempo of Western civilization, it is not unreasonable to suppose that in our own lifetime we may see the commodities of half the world flowing through Northwest seaports, and Northwest industry helping materially to supply the wants of these twelve hundred million Pacific peoples. A little study of the future possibilities of Washington will prove most interesting to anyone with imagination to picture what statistics will prove. Nor does it take an extended investigation to show that ours is indeed a Land of Opportunity! "The Inter-club Council or others in power should pass a ruling to the effect that students should be allowed to belong to not more than two clubs. It appears that students belonging to a half dozen clubs attach .themselves to these respective organizations for unworthy reasons, for :\ the most part. Personal publicity may be had in a more effective way by using the paid advertising columns of this publication, rather than obtaining it through a few poorly attended social and study clubs which ;the Normal now boasts. The fact that a student lauds himself for belonging to a number of clubs should bring him social disapproval rather than a hazy admiration. Divide a students' interests in everything and glie will hot Jbecome an active and good member in anything. In a recent issue of the Viking, C. W. L., former author of the "Normalite", discussed the problem of discipline. * * * * We sit here in our work-room, our experimental laboratory (for, really, that's what it is) or more commonly known as our school room and agree with G. W. L. * * * * 77iere must be discipline as such we haoe found. This is indeed 1930, and in rural situations toe are meeting with all types of childhood. * * * * In the meager experience one gets at Normal School we never become acquainted with groups such as we meet in practical situations. * * * We also find that when children I have been disciplined with nearly military rigidness that the pressure can not be relieved all at once. * * # ••:•- True, G-. W. L., our county provides us with a report card which has, as well as academic grades, grades on what it terms, "Good Citizenship and School Success". * * .i? * But, we find that the parents of our children need the education as well as the children. * * * * A child lives six years before he comes into a teacher s hands. And, although she has him five of the best hours of the day after his education starts, mother and father are the all-important factors still as far as he is concerned. * 4 s» * THEREFORE, THE CHILD'S IDEALS MUST BE ROOTED IN THE HOME. * * * * We have decided, however, if nothing else is absorbed this year, ideals of conduct and morals will be. * * * * The biggest problems., we., have found as yet is the teaching of both individuality. and co-operation to the child... If he is an individual he can not fit into a group and if he has always worked in groups he can not do a thing by himself. * * ! gt; * Maybe we didn't get everything that we should have in our Normal courses but that's one place we find a weakness. The stressing of individuality and co-operation that should go hand in hand. * *• * * And even now pink copper cheeks filled with bread and peanut butter are complaining "They wont play the right game!" * - * * * We only wish we could reproduce some of these impressions for you. * * * * We never knew anything about true blue sportsmanship before. We never knew so much real beauty before until we tried to teach it to someone else. We never saw nearly so much romance before until we' learned about little sweet lives. ' * * * * We had no idea that life could be half so colorful or interesting. « * * * And perhaps after We have been teaching ten years we will be able to look at little folks and see twice that we see today! ' * * * * We won't have to question for hours to get those things then. * * * * We have never learned so much in any other four months of our lives than in those just passed. * * * * Never seen so many pictures, never loved so much of life. Student JQpinion The writer of this article thought it might be well if the facts of the case were ascertained in the controversy about health fees, so did a little interviewing. It is admitted that this should ,have appeared two weeks ago but the author of Normalite was going to write it up and didn't. Men of course change their minds as well as women. The interview revealed that the two-dollar health fee goes to pay the salaries of two nurses as well as to pay the doctors who conduct the annual health examinations The latter are given each quarter to entering students, but only once yearly to each student). This examination alone, if taken at a doctor's office will cost you on dollar. These nurses, one of whom resides at Edens Hall and maintains regular office hours there, are on duty at all times of the day or night if called. Every day from 12:30 to 2:30, Miss Mead calls on those who are confined at home by illness. She also makes calls when necessary on Saturday and Sunday, usually averaging about six calls on Saturday. Besides this are the large number of office treatments given to the students, anywhere from spraying the throat to first aid in injury. Definite follow-up work is carried on for those revealed by the health examination to be in need of it. Those requiring it are recommended to the County Chest Clinic which meets three times a year, and which by the way, is supported by the sale of anti-tuberculosis Christmas Seals. Those needing dental x-rays, basic metabolism tests for goiter, blood pressure and blood count tests, urinalyis, or orthopedic advice, receive it free of charge. ,lt it paid for by the school health fund. (In case you do not know, Miss Mead says orthopedic advice means advice in regard to spinal curvatures, foot and bone troubles). Out of this health fee also is maintained the isolation hospital, which is that large, lonely-looking white house just south of the grandstand. It is for the treatment of strictly contagious diseases. A practical nurse, Mrs. Eva Woods, is on duty at all times and receives a regular salary. A charge of two dollars ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 February 21 - Page 3 ---------- Vf /. y ;,^.A .vi'/iwy-iyK:^ immmw m .''•':' '••;! /"VMX.A'VJ ^ Y ^ ' ^ ' ^ I ^ V M I V I Of interest to the Northwest sport fans is the intended coming international, invitational post-Olympic games rowing regatta, to be held on Lake Washington in Seattle, in 1932. This plan, ambitious in itself, includes bringing to Seattle of at least four, probably five, foreign, crews, after the Olympic meet and the presence of the American representative at the International regatta. For a time Seattle had plans for making an effort to obtain the 1932 Olympic rowing events for Lake Washington, but as the plans fell through the only remaining chance for the Northwest to.see at least a part of the great field of eight-oared crews that will participate in the Olympics, was to plan a post- Olympic regatta for Lake Washington. If the plans work out it will be a big thing in putting the Northwest in the limelight of international rowing and we can only wish the committee in charge "good luck" in their plans for putting the entire Northwest on the map of International athletics relations and perhaps if this enterprise succeeds we can hope for many more. One can never tell until it's all over who's going to rest on the top, for the coveted honors in sports and many wise ones have had their predictions entirely blotted out by the unexpected turn of affairs. This remains true in our own intramural league. The Hustlers, under the tutelage of Bill Osborne, didn't win a game in the first half of the race, but came back in the second half with a spirit that Would out-rival a college team, to cop every one of their games, leaving them riding on top and with a little more push they ought to coast into tfie championship but then, one can never tell. We wonder, in these annual affairs, why the underdogss always seem to win. In the preliminary last Tuesday evening the Supervar-sity conceded the second best team in school, bowed in defeat to their lower teammates, the Junior Varsity. Certainly the Supers, from all angles even to swanking were the best team of the two, but they, perhaps, have the mind set as their rivals. Prom all indications, the next Junior Varsity super-game should be a corker, when the teams meet for the third and last time, next Tuesday evening at Fairhaven. The J. V. won the first game by one point. The Supers the next by five points, and the next?—well you be there to see for yourself? VIKING BASKETEERS PLAY TWO RETURN GAMES THIS WEEK St. Martin's Tossers and Frosh Team Will Provide Opposition for Final Bellingham Games. WOMEN'S INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL FINISHED FROSH "GAME TODAY With the teams of the University of Washington Frosh and St. Martins as their week-end opponents, the Viking basket tossers left Bellingham this morning, at eleven o'clock, bound for Seattle. This afternoon at four, the Frosh and the Normalites will play at the University. The game has every indication of being closely contested. I n a previous game on the Fair-haven floor the Metropolis city team was defeated by a S6-24 score. The Frosh also defeated Cheney, who were several times conquered by the Vikings. The St. Martins team provided the first College opposition for the Varsity when they lost here, 32-22, and they will provide the last game on the schedule of the Vikings when they play Saturday night at Lacey. Carver's squad has constantly been improving as the season goes and the climax so far was their high-class brand of ball against Ellens-burg this week. If they keep this up they should be able to take their last two games. Erickson, who has been playing a good game at center, has been on the sick list all week and there is a possibility that he will do little playing. This may cause a shifting in the combination that has been recently used to good advantage. There is another good combination that Carver will use in case of the absence from the lineup of -Eric. Dixon will be shifted to his old center berth, and Sanders played at forward. Sanders has been playing great lately and will probably see action over the two-game period. Those who will make the trip are: Kasch, Dixon, Erickson, Sanders, Rork, Pederson, Thorsen, Flowers, and Nyberg. Intramural basketball games came to a close Tuesday night when team Two defeated the Threes for the championship. Other team averages are as follows: Team One lost one game through forfeit, and won three; Team Four lost four; and team Five won one and lost three. The next week will be devoted to technique, after which the class teams will be chosen and class games played off. o PHILO CLUB GIVES ASSEMBLY PROGRAM Washington State Week Observed With Musical Numbers and Talks By Several Members of Philos. ALLEY CATS LOOM AS SURE WINNERS ININTRAMURALS Alley Cats Beat Hustlers for Second Half Championship and Are Due to Take League Cup. Prospects for the Spring turnouts look fairly good, only lacking a couple of capable pitchers, for a good baseball team. A call has been sent out by Coach Gunn for men, whether they've had experience or not, to try their hand in this department of the game. Let's help him, fellows; one can never tell who may develop into a Waller Johnson or \ a Christie Mathewson. • / . * * * * I n winding up the basketball season the Varsity should win their last two games to make it a very good season, losing only to the El-lensburg Normal five. Due credit should be given to Coach Carver in building up from what was previously stated to be the worst turnout in twelve years, a team of championship caliber. o BACK TO, THE LOOM The eighth grade girls,, under the direction of Miss Marie Druse and Miss Ethel Lewis, are busily engaged in weaving gay ,and vari-colored cloth on small hand-looms. This is being done in their art class, and the products will probably be made into tiny rugs, bags, etc., according to the girl's wishes. o j- KLIPSUN PICTURES Pictures of the basketball teams which are to appear in this year's Klipsun were taken Thursday. Next week, if weather conditions permit, club pictures will be' taken. GIRLS' SWIMMING TEAM COMPETE WITH NIORDS The girls swimming team will contest the Niord senior lifesaving club team next Monday night, at the Y. W. C. A. tank. All girls turning out for freshment and sophomore teams will compete and members of the two groups will be mixed to arrange new teams. These teams will follow the usual races and strokes, ending with some special diving. After the meet refreshments will be served to the participants. Normal students and friends are invited to attend the meet and watch the school teams do their stuff. INFIRMARY NOTES Miss Marion Markham has been confined in the hospital this week, with a slight illness. Miss Verna Scrimsher has been ill with the influenza during the past week. Miss Helen Wells has gone to her home in Ferndale, to recover from a siege of the flu. Mrs. Dawn Goodenough left in the middle of the week for her home in Gig Harbor, to recover from a slight illness. Miss May Mead reports that she has been on an inspection tour of the girls' homes who are housekeeping. She was very well pleased with what she saw. Miss Mildred Tremain of the Dean of Women's office, accompanied her last Tuesday. Miss Mead has a few visits yet to make this week. o—:—— PHILOS On Monday evening a special meeting of the Philo Club was held in room 239. A brief rehearsal of the program which was put on in the assembly on Tuesday, was held. A resolution was adopted that a member who is absent without valid excuse over three times in the quarter, would be dropped. An amendment ,was proposed that candidates for membership would only need a two-thirds vote of the quorum to be accepted, instead, of, as formerly, -where three adverse votes were enough to keep them out. A very interesting program was sponsored by the Philos in honor of Washington State Week last Tuesday in assembly. Several musical numbers and a variety of talks were offered. Most of the music was written by Washington composers and all of the speeches pertained to Washington interests. Margaret Morrison gave a piano solo, "Dance of the Gnomes," by Edward Potjes, who lives in Seattle and who recently presented a group of his pupils in concert here. The piece was a delightfully gay little composition and Miss Morrison's interpretation of it was a credit to its composer. "Natural Resources of Washington" was the subject of Dick Smith's speech, and he gave many reasons why Washington ranks as one of the first states of the Union. Martin Jackson discussed the "Scenic Wonders and Timber Resources of Northwestern Washington." Some very interesting statistics regarding Washington's standing timber were revealed. Two vocal solos, "With You," and "Duna," sung by Don Stickney were greeted most enthusiastically by the audience. Eunice Paulson contributed to the program with a talk on well-known people of the State, including Processor Edmund S. Meany of the University of Washington, Vachel Lindsey, the poet, who resides in Spokane; Ezra Meeker, Washington's grand old pioneer, and Mrs. Ella Higginson, the author and poet, who is a resident of Bellingham. An amusing Paul Bunyan story was told by Joe Wetherby relating the startling explanation of how Puget Sound, Elliot Bay, Hood's Canal, and Mount Baker were formed. Ray Craft spoke on the "Future of Washington," stressing the point that it is the Pacific seaboard which is gaining in importance and particularly the Northwest. The program was concluded by a group of two violin selections, "Trees," and "Hills of Home," played by Ethel Boynton. o ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 February 21 - Page 4 ---------- Each Contestant Will Prepare One Subject and Speak On a Certain Phase of That Before Assembly., ' •'• -v^Y"£••';' '''*'•"•¥• V/[--:i'\'":'-:'' lt;^V•''•' : \ The Winter Extempore Speaking C » S ^ ^ ^ % t h e l 4 ifr ibe jasselinbly (^iiMDairch ib^itt' this"tinie the sixi diafe^feMunich is ' to be 'announceoV later, will compete for a chance to speak in the Spring finals.

London, around ^ e wharves and in the Limehouse district, was home to him. B 'became parted from his master, \got aboard the wrong vessel, and ended up homeless, along the shoresVof. Puget Sound. He wandered aimlessly about, head down, with all pep gone from his usual behavior. Wandered so because he .longed for his master,' and the for- :mer surroundings that lingered in .his memory. •; Last Saturday night he heard fa-imiliar strains from the Limehouse IBIues. He was attracted to the ;open window of"''the big gym, and jpeeked in. Every muscle was tense land his mind unusually alert. i; There he saw a famliar scene. •Lights were low, people dressed iroughly, signs all over the walls, and •everyone having a "wow' of a time. ;It was a complete replica of what he knew and remembered, as home. iHdpes of finding.his master sprang up, but these soon faded. "Les, everything looked real, it 'was just like home", he repeated to •himself, "but after all it was only a 'party". And he slinked away, defected and homesick. ; Then he saw a discarded North- west Viking, announcing the Frosh Iiiinehouse Ball. He read .all about .the party, and how it was based on the Limehouse District idea. Quentin Quick yas general chairman, assisted by Charles Gerold, Fay Kelly, Pitt Smith, and Emma Rude, and t h a t those there were faculty members and students. .—. 6—: SUNSET LODGE Beverly Daniels of Seattle was the guest of her sister Joyce Daniels over the week-end.

Inter-Club Council met a week ago yesterday, for the first time in several weeks. They have been active on routine business, however, regardless of lack of meetings. The business brought before the group consisted mostly of checking up on the clubs and individuals that Fall under the jurisdiction of t he Council. To be active a club must have a constitution in the files of the Council, otherwise it cannot be classified as an official club of the school. Several of the organizations have failed to do this, and a check is being made of these. The various clubs are supposed to have a limited membership, but several have exceeded this quota, so hereafter the Council will make them keep within their restricted numbers. A number of pigeon-holes have been arranged in t he Co-op for club mail, and each group is asked to claim one of these so that in t he future they may be reached through this medium. Probably one of t h e biggest tasks that the Council has before it, is that of checking on t h e point system. Many of the students of t he school are carrying too many activities, and will have either to withdraw from some or make arrangements. The rule regarding the point system and t h e number of points counted for various activities, may be found on pages 28, 29 and 30 of the Blue Book. The point system plan in brief is: The' number of points an individual may carry a quarter is twenty. Those below "B" in half their grades cannot carry over ten points, and any failure will reduce the points five for t h a t quarter and t he following one. .—o COLLETT COURT Marion Markham and Helen Berg entertained Ester Peterson, and Mrs. Forrest a t . dinner last Sunday evening. Margaret Smith and Helen Williams motored to Index for the week-end. Mrs. Forrest was entertained last Saturday at a dinner at the Chuck-anut Shell.

The costume idea struck home, and everybody •was happy. I t has been suggested that since the costume idea is such a successful one, that the Spring dance, which crowns the Campus Day festivities, take the form of an all-school-all-alumni masquerade. Masquerades, if they are properly planned, can be made very fantastic affairs. There is always much of color and of gaiety, what with a crepe-paper Romeo dancing with a cheese-cloth Pierette, while a synthetic Pierrot sulks under a tinfoil moon or jealously amuses a cretonne Juliet. There are always clowns and pirates, yokels and city-slickers, and Wild Men from Borneo. And if it is a well-regulated masquerade, Jo- Jo* may be there. But whosoever attends, costume affairs are always long anticipated and long-remembered, and the present writer, your humble servant, adds his name to the list of those who would like to see an all school masquerade dance presented. (*Jo-Jo is t he dog-faced boy who broke into white lights by running around the world-three times and then jumping sixty feet into a glass of buttermilk.—Editor.) W.S.N.S. Rumor has it that, in order to compensate for t h e Rec. hour, which never came a week ago, that a double Rec. hour will be held some week-end. The "double Rec hour" will be held in the evening. These affairs have been held before, and with great success. —W.S.N.S.— Last year, Normal built three new tennis courts. I t already had three tennis courts, which made six altogether, if we are to believe reliable authority. Then, in order to make ready for play on the three new tennis courts, the nets were removed from the three old tennis courts, which left us just where we were when we started. What certain individuals are trying to figure out is, now that we are where we are, where are we? —W.S.N.S.— The Scribes' Club got under way last week, and bids fair to bring forth again, "bigger and better than ever before," the Red Arrow. The Red Arrow, in the past, has been a compliment to the institution, and has furnished the various individuals who contributed,, with a medium for the expression of beauty and comedy as they see it. The Red Arrow should be encouraged, and should represent the fin- ; est of the creative artistry of the school. One of the strongest criticisms that can be directed against a school with a too-heavy emphasis on the objective methods of instruction, is that it gives the student some understanding of the beauty which other artists have created, without developing in him whatever latent powers of interpretation he may possess. « YE PROF'S DIARY Sumerz kum akordyng tem thu way ower teniz kourtz look.

AS LATE CONTEST IS CLi Manuscripts Have Not Yet Been Judged; Awards Will Depend On Quality and Suitability of Work. 18 COMPLETE SONGS IN Contest Conducted In Hopes That Song Might Be Found to Typify Spirit of Bellingham Normal. The song contest came to a close last week when a veritable downpour of original songs came tumbling in a t t he last moment upon the committee in charge. Eighteen complete manuscripts have been received. Judging has not yet taken place as a short time must be set aside to allow' those manuscripts which might be in transit to arrive before the actual judging commences. The judges, who are Harold B. Smith, Music department; H. E. Fowler, English department; Albert Booman, president Alumni Association; Mrs. C. X. Larrabee, Belling-ham Women's Music Club; President C. H. Fisher; one member of the B. S. N. S. student body; and one member of the Board of Control, will plan in detail, specific criteria for judging, and thet exact manner in which they will go about it. Slips will be pasted over the names of music composers and word writers, and each song will be given a number, so that judgment will depend entirely upon the quality and suitableness of the songs submitted. Names of all contributors, as well as the prize winners, will be published later after the final decisions have been made. In the event that a suitable song is not submitted the Committee of Judges reserve the right to postpone the awarding of prizes and advise continuation of the contest. However, with as many contributions as have ben turned in, it is hardly likely that this privilege will be exercised. The first prize for t he best words and music will be forty dollars, for the second best, twenty dollars, and ten dollars for the third best. This song contest has been conducted for the past year in the hopes that a song might be com- THIRTY GIRLS SIGNED... . UP TO GO TO SINCLAIR ISLAND ON SATURDAY Thirty girls will leave tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, on the mail boat, from the Quackenbush dock, for Viqueen lodge, on Sinclair island, where they will participate in a work-day to put t he lodge in order for the coming season. All faculty members and women students are eligible to go, but only the first thirty signed up can be taken. Over at the lodge the girls plan to do big things under the leadership of Mr. George Dach, head gardener. There will be a general cleaning up of the grounds and the cabin, and possibly some work on building a fireplace and a fence around the property. Working will be predominant, but fun and food will have their places and the trip looks like one of t he best of t he Saturday affairs, according to Marjorie Coventon, general chairman of the lodge committee. OREGON NORMAL TO DEBATE TEAM HERE Ray Craft and Lyle Summers to Battle for Affirmative, While Mr. Strothers Is Critic Judge. MAUD SCHEERER Drama Recitalist . SCHEERER TO BE IN TWO ASSEMBLIES GIVEN NEXT WEEK Miss Maud Scheerer To Present Group of. "Dramatic Recreations" In a Special Assembly Monday. / The last two weeks nave been very busy and rather discouraging ones for the debate teams. Here are some recent debate decisions and facts. February 25, Helen Fitzwater and Lois Thomson defeated the College of Puget Sound negative team. February 26, Alice Burke and Louise Lilienthal, negative team, lost a decision to the College of Puget Sound, at Tacoma. February 27, the Women's affirmative team lost to the Pacific Lutheran College, at Tacoma. February 28, the Women's negative team and the Men's affirmative team went to Seattle and debated the Seattle Pacific College. In the former case the Normal team lost, but the men won to even things up. Carl Windesheim, coach of the negative teams at the University of Washington, was the critic judge at, the men's debate. March 3, the Women's negative posed which would typify the truev team won over the Pacific Lutheran spirit of the Normal By the Sea. Last year Gay Springsteel was appointed by t he Board of Control as chairman of the song contest committee. His duties were taken over this year by Edith Dyer, with Jean Philippi, Frances Young, and Ethel Boynton, as assistants. Mr. Ruck-mick is faculty adviser. BAND TO FEATURE FRIDAY'S ASSEMBLY The Normal Pep Band, under the leadership of Clarence Thue, will present another of its well-liked assembly programs on next Friday, March 14. The Pep Band has never failed, since its first organization, to present an attractive and effective recital before the student body, upon any occasion on which it appeared, and i t is certain that next Friday's presentation will not be an exception. Definite plans for the program have not been fully formulated, but Clarence Thue has completed the arrangement of several new selections for the band, and a number of special acts, to be presented between band selections, are being rehearsed. -. : ;—O FISHER TO RETURN President C. H. Fisher, of the Normal School, is expected to return Sunday from the East, where he went a few weeks ago to attend edu-= cational meetings in Atlantic, City and conferences of President Hoover's child health commission, in Washington, D. C. He also' planned to go to New York City. \ College, here. The judges were Miss Madge Ware, principal of the Washington school; Miss Mary Muir, instructor of English at Washington High school, and Mrs. Sue Boynton. March 4, the Men's team of t he Normal and the Pacific Lutheran College debated a dual debate, the school's affirmative teams traveling. The Lutheran College won both decisions. Judges for the debate here on the above date, were W. M. Shep-hard, of Whatcom High school; Olaf Strowme, of Fairhaven High school, and Judge Olsen. Monday, March 10, Ray Craft and Lyle Summers, affirmative team, will meet the Oregon State Normal here at 7:30. The critic judge at this time will probably be Charles Strothers, who is a coach and instructor at the University of Washington, and was for three years a member of the Varsity team. After the debate, Mr. Strothers will explain the decision. March 12 is the date of another dual debate, this time with the College of Puget Sound, the negative teams of schools traveling. Therefore, Quentin Quick and John Thorpe will debate in Tacoma, while Roger Reid and Lyle Summers will debate here. MISS SPERRY GIVES BOOK REVIEW AT CLUB MEETING Presenting groups of "dramatic r e creations," the term she applies to her clever method of interpreting short plays as she reads them, Maud Scheerer will entertain.in a special assembly,at 11 o'clock next Monday morning, as well as in the regular assembly on Tuesday. She will also give a talk before the Faculty Forum on the subject, "Drama as a World Force," using the play, "Journey's End" as an illustration, and it is expected that she will visit some of the Normal's speech classes during the time in which ,she will be here. Balanced Programs In Monday morning's program, it is expected that she will read "High Lights of the Season," part of t he "Street Scene" and the "Criminal Code." Since these plays are all of a more or less serious motif, she may insert some short numbers of a lighter nature between them by way of attaining a program of better balance. She has expressed her desire to present "The Skin ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 March 7 - Page 2 ---------- p^pipi^vif jg|f WA^iNGTO^ STATE N $$ ? i'ii. o Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Founded 1899 IKiHg Published weekly by.

W e have found this fact so evident, that it has become a problem which we solved by printing a six-page paper for our extra material. Due to our "go-getter" advertising manager, the advertising section has been increasing weekly. True, we have just as much material for publication, but no space in which it put it. Consequently, we have been accumulating a host of timeless features and literary efforts from the pens of our aspiring cub journalists. We have heard complaints because the "Favorite Column was left out," or perhaps the detailed part of a news story found, its way to the wastebasket. We, too, have been disappointed in not being able to print this copy, but you know as well as we do, that a balloon can only be inflated just so far, and that's that. News that comes into the office early in the week is printed first (providing it is printable), aad when the required number of inches of type is set up by the linotype operator, it is just a waste of time and money to set late copy, even if it is "good." Then another most discouraging difficulty for the editorial side of The Viking is faced when all the copy is set up, ready to take its place in the steel forms that hold it on the press and a three-column, eight-inch adv. finds its way into the sheets of our paper. Then comes the frantic scramble to "cut" stories down to the most important element, with no developments so the important news will not be omitted and, perhaps, the favorite feature is set aside, with a sigh, for some future issue. Now the "future" issue has arrived. We are house-cleaning today, and giving our subscribers the benefit of the "literary masterpieces" of some of your journalistic servants. o No longer will our Song Contest officials be soulfully singing, "Where is the soag of songs for me?"—the contest has ended—it can't be extended—- all's well that ends well. T H E O U T S T A N D I N G C O M E D Y O F I R I SH LIFE. "The Whiteheaded Boy," by Lennox Robinson, has been chosen for production by the Normal Drama Club, next Thursday and Friday, as an outstanding example of modern Irish comedy. This play was first done in an Irish theatre in 1916, when it was presented in the famous Abbey Theatre, in Dublin, by an Irish cast. In 1921 it was given its first American showing at Henry Miller's Theatre, in New ./fork, with several of the Irish players in their original roles. Since that time it has become a permanent success of the Little Theatre groups throughout the country. While this merry drama is distinctly Irish in speech and situation it is truly a play of the international theatre, for its appeal is universal. The : play is one of the finest examples in pure realism in the drama; for all the incidents in it are of such common stuff as daily life itself. "The strength of this play," says Ernest Boyd, dramatic critic, "undoubtedly lies in the perfect combination of form and content, and the natural unrestricted drollery of speech combined with the subject, which develops realistically and logically, yet whose humor is that of the cumulative effect. There is not a deliberately manufactured phrase in it; not one situation that is forced or stagey, for the whole comedy arises out of the relations 'which inevitably establish themselves between the characters." It is with some satisfaction that the Drama Club offers this story as gt; notable example of how the doings of a little neighborhood can be invested with interest and charm. The Drama Club, under the direction of Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, has been careful to preserve the full-bodied richness of this comedy by never letting it fall into knock-about-farce, nor into the serious note of the problem play. The play is costing only twenty-five cents for reserved seats for students, and if even the twenty-five cents are unavailable, student body tickets will admit to the unreserved section. No one should miss this comedy.

It is as though an old tradition, such as "The Knoll" or "Rec Hour" had suddenly ceased to be; and we feel the loss. Why not save us this anguish by offering a prize for the best original dirge to be used for those judges who succumb while listening to the song entries? But enough of art; let's look at the political situation: Cyrus Toodle, noted man about the campus, has announced his candidacy for the next office which becomes vacant. He is running on a reform ticket, and will be known as the "people's candidate". Mr. Toodle has ever been the champion of the weak and oppressed, and has a large following. When interviewed yesterday by reporters, Mr. Toodle in his own modest and charming way, at first said that he was a man of few words and much action, and had nothing to say. Later, however, he relented and made the following statement to the press:' "Few people realize the need for drastic reforms in our school... We go along from day to day little dreaming that we are subject to a lot of downright injustices, and that every day we tolerate them they tighten their hold on our liberty. There is a crying need for a man in office who is aware., of., these things and willing to do something about it... That man, my friend, is Cyrus J. Toodle. Elect me and your troubles are over." "Now, just a word about my platform: It embraces two vital issues: First, The shortage of pencil-sharpeners; A great many of us don't own these patent stem-winding pencils, and for us the Co-op's monopoly on sharpeners is a serious thing. I intend to do for the pencil- sharpener what Morris did for the chair; There should be several sharpeners in each hall and in the library". "And, second, the problem of disposing of waste-paper in the library; at present there are two alternatives: To toss it on top of the book-shelves or into the shrubbery by the door. Even if a waste-basket doesn't harmonize with the interior decorations—well, why not remove the books; they don't either". "And in closing, let me say that, if elected I shall do my best to—".

This test was not given in order that the spelling of the students in the three Normal schools might be compared. There are several reasons why this is not a good test for that purpose. It. is not safe, therefore, to assume that students in any one of the three schools are better or poorer spellers than those in the other two Normal schools. The difficulty of the words as given in Table I, is a fairly reliable figure, however, and considerable confidence can be placed in the material given in that table. PHONE 2 88 For Flowers I.

After the assembly concert the other day we heard quite a few vague remarks regarding the nature of the cello. People seem to have extremely indefinite ideas about the blooming thing. Since our purpose is to serve society, we went delving through various musical works in the library, and uncovered the following interesting work on the.cello: —o— "The violincello, or 'cello, as it is called by those people sufficiently familiar with it to be contemptuous of it, is a oiolin which has been allowed to remain on the tree long past ripeness before it is picked off and prepared for market. It is a large, unwieldly bit of cabinet Work capable of generating very doleful sounds on occasion. "Different people can elicit different kinds of tone from the 'cello. One style sounds like a cow down a well. The other is unprintable. " 'Cello parts are Written in bass, tenor and treble clef. The notes in the latter department are 'way up near the bridge, but sound like a canary bird with the laryngitis. The so-called tenor clef is merely played a fifth higher than the bass, thus avoiding a flock of telegraph poles insulated with quarter notes. "The chief requirements of a 'cello player areli strong right arm and wrist, bowlegs, and unlimited nerve. On the 'cello more than on any other bowed instrument vibrato is constantly used. Hence the 'cellist with Si. Vitus dance is at a considerable advantage." There you have it all in a nutshell.

BOB WALTERS IS EDITOR Buying of Books Not Advised but Curriculum Committee Has List of Three Books Recommended. Owing to a misunderstanding regarding the soliciting for book subscriptions, by a salesman, Dr. Irving E. Miller, chairman of the curriculum committee, explained the whole situation in assembly and to the: Viking reporter in an interview so that the students will understand the protection given them, by faculty committees. Several years ago, high powered salesmen, with a good line of talk and a worthless of books invaded the Campus. They signed up many students, and even a number of the faculty. At a faculty meeting,'attention was brought to this and it was decided that a committee should be appointed. This committee would look over any book to be sold and if they were of any value to students they would be placed on the approved list. If the committee failed to approve the book, then the agents were not permitted to solicit subscriptions from students or faculty Later the committee approval work fell into the hands of the Curriculum committee and there is handled at the present time. There are three books at the present that are on the approved list, namely, The World Book, Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia and the Classroom Teacher . These books may be displayed in the halls, or to the students personally, with the approval of the committee, but no one is urged or advised to buy them. In other words these faculty signatures only mean that as a source for information in the teaching work these books are good and not worthless. i The faculty evaluation of these books is based on the realization that teachers do need reference books in their work. Many communities, or rather school officials, do not furnish material for any reference sources. Therefore, these books are needed. In places where adequate reference books are on hand for the instructors, these are not needed, nor are they needed here at Normal. Nevertheless, the information contained within those that are approved, is not erroneous or worthless. o—_ A Red Arrow will be published! This literary magazine is usually issued two or three times a year by the Scribes club of the Normal, which is an organization made up of students interested in writing for art's sake. The publication this year, will be put out by a selected group of students organized alone for the purpose of issuing a Red Arrow, according to Bob Walters, editor of the forthcoming number. This selected group has not yet been picked and no definite organization wil be formed until the material sent in has been looked over as to quality, originality and interest of writers.a Everyone in the school, student or faculty member, is invited and urged to send in the efforts his inspirations may lead him to write. From these authors will be picked the staff for the magazine- Bob Walters, Editor The editorial staff is not yet complete but a foundation has been laid. Bob Walters will be editor, assisted by Dolly Anderson and Arden Ben-thien. Another assistant editor will be chosen soon, also a business manager. Herbert E. Fowler is the faculty adviser for the magazine. Work has already been started on the publication and a red "Red Arrow" should be out for the school's approval (or disapproval) by the middle of next quarter. Linoleum Cuts to be Used The magazine will carry out a spring idea and will be made more colorful by small linoleum cuts throughout the magazine. The make-up of the magazine has been outlined and will have twenty-four pages of short stories, poetry, and what have you? If this issue proves to be successful, a following number may be published during the summer quarter. Graduate students who were former members of the Red Arrow staffs, have been asked to send in contributions so that this new Red Arrow may not be a stranger to its readers.

Wednesday afternoon; the old greenhouse that was tacked onto the southern end of the gym was torn down and the rubbish hauled away. Men have beenlbusy off and on during the winter, clearing the site of our future athletic stdium. Mr. Dack reports that he is almost ready for the grading there. Some of the shrubs and flowers have been damaged severely by the frost, due to the fact that they were unprotected by any snow when the cold spell came. With the continuance of the present warm weather the shrubs and plants that survived will commence to grow and one will soon be able to tell just which plants are alike and which need coaxing. Mr. Dack says that the new shrubs planted last Fall around the library are doing fine, but that some people are careless in walking about them. o LEVIENNE CHARMS STUDENT AUDIENCE BOOK REVIEW He Displayed Fine Tone, Technique, and Marvelous Interpretation of Varied Classical Selections.

She has taught in Alaska for the last 15 years and spent three years at Wainwright, 100 miles across trackless tundra and frozen ocean from Point Barrow, the nearest white post. The years were full of interest for her dogteam and reindeer rides, trips miles out on the frozen ocean to whaling camps or walrus killings, watching the sun circle the horizon three months without setting, then leaving two months of total darkness. Her life there was full of variety, tragedy, and pathos; but there was also the •feeling of satisfaction that she was doing a little bit to relieve suffering and to fit the simple, childlike peopl eto meet the hardships and privations. There was no time for her to be J lonesome, despite the fact that there I were only four mails a year and the only direct communication with (the outside world was through the arrival of the freight boat each summer, with the food supply for another year. She was fully occupied in teaching a roomful of pupils, ranging from 5 to 45 years of age, supervising the mining of coal to be shipped to other schools and paying for all this coal in barter supplies. She was also'doing medical work, holding religious services, conducting a post-office, organizing and running a cooperative store for the natives, supervising and visiting three reindeer herds and acting as adviser to some 200 natives.

John Hopper accompanied him on the piano. Mr. Levienne has been repeatedly praised for his tone, his technique, and his marvelous interpretive gifts. The numbers which he played here displayed all of these remarkable characteristics. In the first group of selections were listed "Adagio From Sonata," by P. Locatelly, a number which the artist played so exquisitely that he at once won his auditor's favor and attention; the lovely "Serenade," from Cassado, and Popper's quick, lively, and vigorous "Tarantelle." The ever-popular VPrelude G Major," by Rachmaninoff, was the first selection in group two. Following it came Cassella's "Chanson Napoli-taine," a composition which seemed especially to appeal to the audience. v"The Fountain," by Davidoff, which combines a gay, sparkling movement with a slow, and rather sedate motion, was also a well-liked number. "Andantino" by Martini, is a beautiful piece of music in itself, but Levienne's interpretation made it even more a living thing of beauty. Popper's "Hungarian Rhapsody" was the concluding number on the program. The recital was one of the best heard here in some time, and throughout Mr. Levienne fulfilled all of the compliments which have been heaped upon him. —: o GRAPHS KEPT BY STUDENTS SHOW GAIN IN INCHES The pernicious influence of the research bureau has extended to The Viking's office.

In the hotbed of basketball, where the caliber of the game provides the keenest of competition all season, little Butler University has sprung into National prominence. Last Winter, with a lanky lad named Hilde-brand always in the foreground, the Hoosier team was victorious in all but one game. Among their victims were such worthy opponents as Notre Dame, Illinois Pittsburgh, Purdue, North Carolina and Missouri, to say nothing- of the many clever fives in the State of Indiana. When the Washington shell pulls down the Hudson in June, Captain Davis will be handling the bow oar, which post he has had for two years in the Poughkeepsie regatta and the colorful California-Washington race. In the words of his coach, Al Ul-brickson, "Davis has more on the oar than any bowsmari I've seen . . . and he is the lightest man hi our boat, weighing only 160 pounds." The captain of the Northwestern aquatic team, Al Schwartz, has cracked every National intercollegiate record in the free style events. He holds claim to the fastest marks in the forty and fifty-yard dashes and the hundred, two-twenty and four-forty free style swims. And yet the Purple natator cannot follow the diet regulations prescribed by Coach Tom Robinson for the other men on the squad. With Coach Jimmy Phelan at the University of Washington comes hard work, and with the aid of several new understudies, has already issued a call for Spring football, in which the new staff is hard at work breaking down the Bagshaw style of play and building up Knute Rock-nes, Notre Dame's system. The n5w men Coach Phelan has obtained, are Dan Lamont, line coach, and Ed Collins, end coach, both former Notre Dame players. Too much can be expected of the new staff this year, as it takes years to build up a new system, but if they win just a percentage of their games we will be satisfied.

At the beginning of next quarter, slips will be placed on the bulletin board in the men's athletic office, for those who wish to sign up to play Intra-mural baseball. There will be a chance for club teams and for independent teams. Coach Royal E. (Pop) Gunn has charge of the proceedings. He expects to have at least four teams in the race. Some of the rules governing the series, are: Varsity team members will be eligible to play; no-pitcher will be allowed to pitch more than four innings. This will tend to eliminate shut-out games. Members of each team will have to be signed up at least a week before they will be eligible to play. As soon as the teams have signed up and organized, the schedule will be made out and drawings will be made. The games will probably be of one series and the play-offs will be shortly before the end of Spring quarter.

The squad has been out every night lately, and have been able to get a good start owing largely tc the good weather of the last two weeks. The practices have consisted mainly of throwing, pepper games, catching flies and light batting practice. This light work will continue for about a week, and then the real heavy stuff will start. None of the tri-Normal games have been scheduled but will probably be listed soon. Two games with College of Puget Sound are practically assured. The whole schedule is in the making and several entries on it will be announced soon. • Coach "Pop" Gunn, on being questioned about the squad stated that "Prospects are very, gloomy, but we are going somewhere before it is over as we have the spirit. Every man knows that he must work.and work in harmony with the rest of the boys."' With the coming of warmer days, Viking trackmen, are beginning to unlimber t h ekinks from their muscles and preparing for the coming cinder season. Last year the Vikings won the tri-Normal meet, and although it is too early to make, predictions! the Hilltoppers have prospects for a fairly strong squad. As yet, no sprint men have appeared and material is also lacking in several field events. Last year's let-termen include Brinkman."Erickson, Carboneau, and Egan. The latter three , are- all distance-men, while Erickson is the best bet in the hurdle and the javelin. He holds the tri-normal record in this event. Flowers, who placed in the State meet last year, is expected to furnish points in the polevault, as is Bey also. Several other candidates are showing signs of development which should bolster the squad. o — PUPPET SHOW TO BE STAGED IN NORMAL SCHOOL AUDITORIUM » »M»in»»mHii»maffl^^^ B ' '.••••- ,-. . • • • . / . • ' : • . • ' " - • : • ' ' • • • " .

There are four lettermen in the Defeat St. Martin's On January 11, t he Vikings stepped up their pace in the last half of the game at Fairhaven, and took the St. Martin's tossers for a 33-32 defeat, which the .losers atoned for in the last game of the season at Lacey, 30-27. On the following Monday, in a hectic struggle, the Knappton Travelers won from the Blue, 41-37. The game went into two overtime periods before being, settled. A week of practice followed and then the squad left for a week's visit East of the Mountains. The results of this trip were two games won from Ellensburg, and one game dropped to Yakima Y. M. Following that Cheney was entertained here, both in the big gym and at Fairhaven. The games on the South Side court were both won by Normal. Fairhaven was then the scene of three encounters, a victory from the Frosh, of Seattle, and two losses to the Ellensburg Wildcats. There were two games left to be played and both were out of town. The Frosh measured the Vikings for a good trimming and on the next day, a Viking rally just fell short of giving the team a second victory over St. Martin's. The Junior Varsity won two out of three games from the Supers to settle that championship, the Alley Cats captured the boys' intramural gonfalcon, and the Outside Girls took the girls' intromurel bunting. The Varsity scored 411 points this season, while their opponents out-scored them with a 445 total. Those contributing individually to this total were: Dixon, 108 points; Peder-son, 76; Thorsen, 69;' Rork, 56; Erickson, 44; Flowers, 6, and Sanders, 4 points. o- SPORT-BANQUET TO BE HELD IN EDENS HALL highest score out of twenty-five to school, but only Dixon and Bailey be are turning out.

Climaxing the meeting with the •election of a new President, -the Men's club held an Assembly in the music room last Friday morning. Charles "Chuck' Dewey was elected president by a scant margin, and will serve the remainder of this quarter and during all of next. Ted Clark served as president last quarter, but didn't return to school. John Nostrant, vice president, took charge for several metings until a • new head.was elected. Herbert E. Fowler, head-of the English department, was an invited speaker at the meeting. He gave a twenty-minute talk that centered around the question of taking care of the many "ringsters" or outsiders, who have been coming in, un-invit-ed, to some of the social functions. Along with his talk, Mr. Fowler made several valuable suggestions to the club along different lines, that they could take' as they pleased. It was agreed to; assist the two members of the Board of Control that are appointed to take charge of "Rec" hours, in controlling this situation, and several committees were appointed. Clarence Thue, Wayne Priem, and Benny Benthien topped off the meeting with several trio numbers. •—o "WHITEHEADED BOY" IS DRAMA CLUB PLAY C^UB (Iflftj / - EL NIDO Eva Jordan, Edna Shrom, and Florence Elliott entertained Mrs. John Lindley and daughter, Dorothy, at dinner last Tuesday.

Play Is Symbolic j Perhaps a few words of the author's, regarding his play, may be .enlightening. Mr. Robinson says,' "In its conception, 'The Whiteheaded •Boy," was to have been full of, symbolic meaning, for I had conceived the idea of displaying the British Empire in the form of a large, over-jgrown family kept together, more or less against its will, by an illogical, absurd, generous, scheming, lovable mother. I made Ireland her youngest .; child, half black sheep, half moth-jer's darling (or, as we say here, ^'whiteheaded boy'). He was to be spoiled and petted, bullied and slapped, praised and blamed and left finally so bewildered and bemused that the only definite idea left to him- is that of cutting himsel free from his impossible family and making his own life in his own way. Great Britain (to which I gave the name George) was to be the member of the family most deserving of our pity, overburdened with responsibilities. 'Look at the life I've led you all, and no one thinking that maybe I'd want to get married, or have a bit of fun or spend a bit of money. . . 'Somehow, that bit of symbolism has remained and in George I do still see poor, harassed : England, which would prefer, above all things, to be free of responsibilities with leisure and money to enjoy itself. t Symbolism Lost But, apart from George and a speech in the third act which now rings a little false, all the symbolism has disappeared. It started to disappear the moment I put pen to : paper. Like the Mr. Edwards who tried to b ea philosopher, 'Cheerful ness was always breaking in.' Aunt ' Ellen, in fact, kept breaking in, and Mr. Duffy. They, in my conception, : were to play a very small part in the parable. But, when I started to write, the Geoghegans and Duffys took the bit between their teeth and for a fortnight drove my pen exactly in the direction they wanted it to go. By that time the play was finished and, reading it over, I had ruefully to admit that it was not the play I had set out to write. But I was not displeased, for few people are interested in the relations between Ireland and England, but the problem of the whiteheaded boy is vital, from Ballycolman to the world's end." EDENS HALL Edna Wise, of Seattle, was the week-end guest of Ann Jordan. Mr. Bill Kelley, of Auburn, was also her guest at luncheon, Saturday. Louise Steger, of Snohomish, and Elizabeth Gable, of Edmonds, were also week-end guests at Edens Hall.

A short house-meeting wgs held last Saturday night. After the business meeting, the girls popped corn, and had a very informal party among themselves. "I'm a beaten man!" said many a new, weary Philo member,' as he bowed desperately, three times to the villainous ancients of the club who were out for initiates' scalps (or bows). It all happened last Wednesday evening in the school building when ten weak and not too willing students gathered for the big ceremony. • •-. • Each one was blindfolded and led through the halls by heartless old members, who paddles were in marvelous working order. As the evening grew later, the blindfolded babes were left shoeless and stockingless, but still they marched through the halls, and still the paddles descended ceaselessly time after time. Winding up in the little gym, the boys and girls did the Philo walk (touching the knee to the floor at each step) three times around the room, Speaker in Assembly "Ten Years of the League of Nations," was the subject of a talk given by Mrs. James Axtell, at the Women's League Assembly, Friday; She told of the organization, accomplishments, and aims of the League.

XXIX—NO. 34 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON TYRANNIZING TEACHERS ENGLISH IVY CLUB BOOM YE PROFS DIARY —Ray Craft •• •» Friday, March 14f 1 ? 3 0 : ^ i l f l l IRISH IS A GREAT SUCCESS i%'£% Earl W. Anderson, in the March issue of The Atlantic Monthly, comments on the growing revolt among teachers against the restrictions that are placed on their personal lives by the people of the communities in •which they live. He makes the point that teachers are required not only to conform to the general standards of the community, but are subject to the petty tyrannies of a dozen different prejudices, running from bans against smoking and dancing, (either men or women), to the entertaining of friends of the opposite -sex, or the failirre to entertain them. W E SELECT NEW VIKING EXECUTIVES Next Monday, Positions of Editor, Business Manager of The Viking Will Be Selected At Meeting. CONTESTANTS CHOSEN TO SPEAK AT WINTER EXTEMPORE CONTEST FEW APPLICANTS IN RACE "Fettering of teachers tends to dehumanize them, and to force from teaching many of the wide-awake, stimulating and wholesome men and women in the profession," declares Mr. Anderson, in his article, "Hamstringing Our Teachers." "Active, exuberent boys and girls will not accept personal leadership from negative, fearful and lifeless teachers, whose opportunities to develop enthusiasm and vibrant energy have been suffocated. The very filing which should be most valuable in teaching—moulding the lives and interests of the pupils,—is thwarted T gt;y the prohibitions to which teachers are so commonly subject. Young people receive the stimulation they must inevitably seek from other and less desirable sources, because "the teacher is 'different.'" Commenting on the various petty regulations that are forced upon teachers throughout the country, Mr. Anderson concludes by saying: "Slowly people are coming to realize t h a t the public schools need active, alert, enthusiastic teachers who themselves enjoy life, and who stimulate enjoyable activity through their personal magnetism and keen interest in others. All occupations seek such people. The number which the public school will draw will be in proportion to the removal of restrictions which now make living Jess attractive to teachers than to those in other professions. Those ' true leaders who do go into teaching will be found in schools that allow teachers to live normal human lives." W. S. N. S. According to George Daak, our versatile head gardener and man-about- the-campus, in an intimate interview this week, the staff of landscape artists who have been cutting away the English Ivy from the main building haven't been plotting against the beauty of Nor mal. "The ivy should be trimmed every year in order to insure its healthy growth," Gebrge said. "It hasn't been trimmed for several years, however. In two or three weeks the leaves will be out again and the ivy will be as green as ever." Three Board of Control Positions Open for Candidates; Election to Take Place Next Quarter. As a rule, during the life of various movements, regardless of their nature, competition tends to pep them up—and as the choosing of incumbents for several school offices naturally involves competition — things are becoming or are soon to become, peppy around the Board of Control office. Next Monday, the applications for three student positions will be taken up, namely those of. Northwest Viking Editor, Business Manager, and the Secretary of the Board. So far only one candidate for each of these three positions, has signified intention of placing his application. Ray Craft, Gordon Leen, and John Moawad', two of whom at present hold the jobs they seek, are those entering the contest. The race for President of the Students' Association and Representative, also promises to have much spice. This election doesn't take place until the start of next quarter. According to the rules applying to the old tennis courts, no playing will be allowed on Sunday. A discussion arose as to whether this applies to the new courts, and the Board decided that as far as they were concerned they felt that playing should be allowed on Sunday, with the exception of the hours between 10 and 12 in the morning. They will submit this resolution to President C. H. Fisher, and if he passes on it, it will be taken in as a rule. The preliminaries of the Extempore Contest were held last Thursday at 4 o'clock, with the result that six of the eighteen who are entered were chosen to speak in the winter quarter finals, which will be held in the assembly next Tuesday, March 18. At this time two of these contestants will be awarded first and second places, and will later enter the Spring finals to compete against Queritin Quick, Eleanor Langworthy, and Spring quarter winners. The winner of the. entire contest will have the honor of having his or her name engraved on the silver loving-cup, kept for this purpose. The winners of yesterday's preliminaries are as follows: Alice Burk, Helen Fitzwater, Charles Gerold, Virginia, Howell, Louise Lilienthal, Bob Walters and Virginia Ward. They will receive their topics for the final contest Monday at 4 o'clock, in room 308. FISHER BACK FROM ATLANTIC CITY TRIP GRIFFITH IS PRESENTED IN SERIES OF RECITALS AT ST.

(Continued on Page Four) THEATRE GUILD WILL GIVE COMEDY SOON "The Butter and Egg Man," a Play by George Kaufman, Will Be Given During First Week of April. George declared that the vines on either side of the entrance to the main building were planted by the class of 1914-15, and that the vines on the corners have probably been Jiere since the school was first built. "Ivy is slowing growing, and can't be worked into the landscape overnight," he added. ^ And, now that we are talking about ft, Normalite challenges any school in the United States to show a more artistically balanced and well kept campus than we one we have spread out here in front of our old Alma Mater.

Theatre Guild production of 3eorge- S. Kaufman's great comedy •ensation, "The Butter and Egg Vlan," which will be given here durs. ing the first week in April. Th# play, vhich is being played for the first ;ime on the Pacific coast, is being presented under the direction of M. Deane Seegar, who has had a great leal of experience in the dramatic :ield, having come to Bellingham from the Garrick Players of Chicago, Illinois The cast will boast some of the finest talent that the Northwest has to offer, including the following: Frank Reno, as Peter Jones. Mr. Reno gained a great deal of recognition with his portrayal of "Clarence," one of Booth Tarkington's greatest characters. Will R. Mock, Jr., who plays Joe Lehman, the high-pressure promoter. Ethel Little, as Jane Weston; Dorothy Taft Burch-ette, who plays the hard-boiled Fanny Lehman, wife of Joe, the promoter, and Frank Locke, formerly of. the Normal. Katherine Schupp Burpee, formerly of the Players, will appear, and Herb Hess, as Oscar Fritchie, will give one of the cleverest performances in the show. Glenn Goddard, Betty Morse, Lorney Dufrain, and Kash Szyman-ski, will make their debuts befoi--? the local audience. "No place looked so good to me as Bellingham," declared President C. H. Fisher, upon his return here last Wednesday afternoon, from an Eastern tour that began about four weeks ago, having left February 16. President Fisher went East for the purpose of attending educational meetings in Atlantic City, and the White House conference on Child Health and Protection, to which he was appointed by Ray Lyman Wilbur. He visited schools in Maryland, Ohio, and Illinois, and interviewed a number of educators, for the purpose of lining up new teaching material for the Summer session and next Fall. President Fisher first went to Atlantic City, where he attended ^the sessions of the American Association of Teachers' Colleges and Normal Schools, and of the department of superintendence, National Education Association. He addressed the first named association on "Selection of Students for Teaching." Poses With Hoover I n Washington, D. C, President Fisher was one of about fifty educators that attended the White House conference. They were greeted by President Herbert Hoover, and he posed with them, while a group of photographs were taken. The conference, which lasted two days, was opened by Secretary Lyman D. Wilbur, after which followed a discussion in which President Fisher took part. I n the opinion of President Fisher, the conference is certain to be most beneficial since much work was outlined and great results are anticipated. Pres. Fisher is a member of a sub-committee whose chairman is Dr. William C. Bagly, of Columbia University. —-o- O. S. C. Debate Team Defeated By Normal Concluding the 1929-1930 series of Musical Artist Course concerts, Mina Hager, mezzo-soprano, will appear in a recital in the First Christian Church next Monday evening, March 17. She comes to Bellingham in the course of her fourth transcontinental tour in the past two "years. Was Church Soloist Miss Hager was born in Madison, South Dakota, and her first singing as a soloist was in Mid-Western churches. While at Dakota Wesleyan College and Huron College, she gave recitals in civic, academic and church circles. At the completion of her college work, she went to Chicago and continued her study of music. • She sang with the Chicago Opera Company, and was a soloist ao Chicago's Apollo Club and the North Shore Festival. After an American tour with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, she visited Europe. She sang in London eight times, and gave several recitals in Berlin, Paris and Switzerland. In Berlin, she was soloist for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1925, she became an artist of the National Music League, of New York City, and has since continued to tour under its management.

Creative expression, creative teaching, and creative thinking are some of our often-used expressions. Creative expression is one of the finest and most worthwhile ideas that our school systems have ever introduced and our schools should provide much more generous opportunity for this than they do at the present. Repetition for the fixing of facts and skills is undoubtedly still too marked a feature in the school room. This is not so true in our training school, where experiments for the betterment of creative expression are constantly taking place, but is only too true of the many schools of which we become the instructors. There is still too little incentive or opportunity for the pupils to conceive ideas and attempt to embody them in external form and then even when expression is called for it is apt to be a matter of routine. "Self-expression, like self-activity, is not a new shibboleth, but it describes, nevertheless, with much accuracy precisely the sort of thing the schools can and should strive to foster in all children, everywhere. It does not call for a unique quality that only the few are capable of, nor demand more critical acumen than the teachers, as we know them, can exercise. It is not sensational and makes a poor warxry, but the aftereffects of its use will probably be good," says the editor, of the Educational Methods in an editorial comment School ALL U P A N D DOING ON T H E W E S T E R N FRONT Rec Hour today.

Some of the weekly current magazines have been giving quite a lot of space to the new ero of mechanism. The establishment of a new department by a large industrial corporation, which is to devote its attention to ways and means for developing the all-automatic home, so that housekeeping will be reduced eventually to the pushing of buttons, has raised no little speculation on the future. The corporation has its eye on the distant future, but even now, some important beginnings are marking the start or this new era. gt;. The advent of the mechanized household is but a small sample ot the transformation now well under way in almost every field of industrial activity. William Scroggs reports that since 1919, the amount ot primary horsepower employed in American industry has been increasing, twice as rapidly as the population. With the coming of the mechanical age, men are becoming more idle and wages are taking a turn for the lower depths.. Finally, the coming oi the robot means replacing with skilled, tireless labor the only partly Great readjustments are taking place. Few people have been able to live at the time of the adjustment and have.been able to conceive the direction of its movements. You know, an author, if he wants to describe a village has to go to New York to see it correctly. With the possible exception of Turgenev, no one has been able to determine the "Whither-bound"—of his century. Labor unions are not resisting the introduction of the improved machinery, for they know that on the whole, labor usually profits by any change promoting the welfare of society. It is the individual that is hard hit. It is sometimes difficult and the situation of general welfare brings little comfort to the aged worker, who finds himself jobless. At any rate, in our profession of teaching, there is little danger of being displaced by robots—still, while we are merely speculating on the .future—we may have "canned knowledge" taught in the far future or, perhaps, some new genius will invent pills of knowledge so one will not be troubled with a lot of study, but can swallow a pill of German and have the first year in German in the mind. (I'll bet it would be a bitter pill, though.) As, well—since we are not Turgenevs, how can we know where the future leads to? Why worry? HHZ3H BRAINLESS BITS Well, here y're, studes... Oy-yoy-yoy, why does spring have to come at the same time as the end of the quarter? Tennis and term papers becoming interesting to a guy at the same time! Wotta helluva combination! Just imagine sittin' an' crainmin' far into the night while a glorious moon is shining and everything is all still and—oh, golly! what's the use of talking about it, when we have to do it anyway?

A Little Story We Heard In her day, she could have married, anyone she pleased—but she didn't please anyone. —o— Yes, we managed to find another of those comprehensive descriptions of musical instruments this week. This one happens to be in the flute. Although you've all seen and heard flutes on many an occasion, we'll bet you never dreamed of the true nature of one of the darned things. Get this: "The flute is a cylindrical pipe of grenadilla wood cr metal, corked at one end, and pierced with lateral holes closed by about three hundred intricate keys. It is played by directing amore or less steady stream of wind at an elliptical aperture near the name plate, at the same time wiggling the fingers resting on the more important keys. Most of the wind thus directed escapes harmlessly over the top, causing a draft which keeps the musicians in front of the flute section in a continual condition of rhinitis (cold in the head, if any.) "The tone of the flute may be a reedy whistle, a dry hacking rattle, a mild and mellow oodle, or a sound ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 March 14 - Page 3 ---------- OFFICIAL CALL IN SPRING TURNOUTS Lots of Material In School Bnt Coach Carver Is Greeted With a Small Number of Aspirants. SIXTEEN TEAMS IN ; ^ STATE TOURNAMENT FOUR LETTERMEN BACK In actual practice, it is hard to make a mountain out of a molehill, and no one knows that better than Sam Carver, who is attempting to turn out a track team with few Iettermen on hand and an unusually small number of aspirants turning out. An official call was issued for track turnouts Tuesday,! but there was little or no response from trie students, and the list of those turning out remained the same as it had previously been, which can be counted on one's fingers, and with a slight surplus remaining. There is lots of material here in school, and even though many have had no experience, track is something that can be developed into one in a short time if any inclination is shown toward it. There are a number of scheduled meets coming, but it will take more material on hand to build up a representative squad. Those turning out at the present are: Erickson, Carboneau, Egan, and Brinkman, Iettermen, and Flowers, Duyff, Eacrett, Abshire, Faulkner, and Shelton. SPORTS BANOUET TO BE HELD TONIGHT The Awarding: of Letters and the Announcing of All-Star Teams to Feature Program at Banquet. Sixteen teams got underway yesterday in the three-day annual basketball tournament held at the University of Washington pavilion to determine a state Champion. Twenty-six games are on tap to decide the first eight place-winners. Bellingham's two entries, Whatcom and Fairhaven, both drew tough assignments for their opening contests. The Redskins played the strong Walla Walla five, while Fairhaven faced an equally hard team in Centralia. Should they get over these hurdles, they will have a good chance to place in the upper division. North Central, of Spokane, Ko-quiam and Everett seem to be the tourney favorites, considering their past records. It is of interest to local fans that Barney Chichester, an alumnus, is coaching the Foster High entry in the tournament. o- W. A. A.

Dear Sirs: " / have attended the Normal School at Bellingham for two years. I have studied exterior decorating and can fix myself up so my Worst enemies wouldn't know me. I never spent much time on tech' nique, for if one can dress Well and apply a good complexion she can get a good school anyway. I am coldly intellectual in the classroom and a good disciplinarian, for the good of the children, you know; but, believe me, kid, I'm not dead. Just date me and see. • And if three-fourths of the sup-erintendants were to answer honestly, according to their natural reaction, they would wire back the following telegram: COME AT ONCE. .

On the sidelines of the Whatcom gymnasium is a set of balance scales. Proudly above them floats the unowned city grade school basket-. ball pennant. This afternoon at 3:30, two champions will play the one and only game to decide who will take home the gonfalon. For several months five teams have been using all sorts of methods and the main part of their ingenuity in trying to get tickets of admission to the Whatcom gym, but only two solved the problem. Lowell provided their way of getting in by winning the first half of the league. The Normal training school hoop-sters saw their way clear when they nosed out Lowell in the final game of the second half. One pound will be awarded to each team for every free throw that they stretch the net with. For field goals two pounds will be given. After the final whistle has blown the two teams will set their awards on the scales and the one that can weigh in the heaviest, will receive the mythical pennant for the '29-'30 season.

They didn't fall in, but rather they went swimming and of their own free will.- This is just the beginning of a very eventful—but let us continue with the story. It all happened when 19 girls, three P. E. faculty women, .and George Dack, started on the mail boat early Saturday morning, bound for Viqueen lodge, the W. A. A. gijls' Summer camp. The program included work toward the building of a fireplace and a general cleanup of th egrounds, but many events unscheduled entered into the day's activities. i lThe trip going over was exciting beyond words," says several members of the party, and from the pale, weak-kneed effect many presented on landing, one could easily be led to believe that they meant what they said. Having arrived at the lodge, people thawed themselves out as best they could and then the work began. Rocks were hauled the greater part of the day, but promptly at noon everyone stopped everything and got to the serious business of discovering mangled sandwiches in secretly dark corners. Then there was the swimming event and a heavy baseball game and even bridge and—but as far as everyone can see, that was enough; in fact, it was almost too o 20 YEAR AGO ll was rumored that somewhere within the walls of our spacious library stronghold a complete file of Weekly Messengers (Northwest Viking) existed. "A ton of 'colyum nuggets" excitedly exr claimed our editor, "get them at any risk". . I dashed out of the office and over to the library, all the while careful to stay on the sidewalks. I located the files and got enough material for a "colyum" in "manya" issue. Yes, got them in true reporter style, but whew, what a chance I took. Not wanting to be too ancient, I started taking my material from the 1910-'ll- and '12 issues, so, from now on we will discuss the approximately twenty years ago news. Sunset Garden W. E.

Miss Maude Scheerer's "dramatic recreations" were greatly enjoyed by the students at the two assemblies in'which she gave them. In the special assembly Monday, Miss Scheerer read two- plays by Martin Flavin, "The Criminal Code," and "Broken Dishes." "The Criminal Code" is a very intense and dramatic play which illustrates the code of the civilian to the convict and the code of the convict to the civilian. The intensity, the tragedy, the pathos of the play were marvel-ously portrayed by the dramatist. In Miss Scheerer's dramatization, one felt and almost saw the unswerving hand of Pate reaching out and grasping the young, helpless convict..The intensity and supreme irony of the last.act gave Miss Scheerer a chance to show her "Wonderful dramatic ability. gt; "Broken Dishes" was a clever little play about the coup d'etat of Cyrus, the henpecked husband, against the monarchial rule of his wife, Jenny. John Galsworthy's play, "The Skin Game," was. as well done, in the regular assembly as the two plays of the day before. The spirit of the play is the antagonism between youth and old age and between the old, wealthy quality and the new, industrial rich. Miss Scheerer's interpretation of the character showed a sensitive insight and a sympathetic understanding. ; In her one o'clock lecture she spoke of the importance of enunciation, pronunciation, good English and voice for teachers, and gave some illustrations of how to use the voice correctly. The two o'clock talk was devoted to the reading of contemporary poetry and a discussion of its merits and: faults. Miss Scheerer spoke favorably of the modern trend, because it was capable of expressing all phases of life in all ways. She read "Patterns," by Amy Lowell, and "Renascence," by Edna St. Vincent Millay, two very modern and beautiful poems. "Dauber," by JohnMasefield, and "John Brown's Body," by Stephen Vincent Binet, are her two favorite poems. '• 0 : BOARD CHOOSES EDITORS (Continued from Page One) £LUB flflfl^ Plans for a picnic to take place last night .were discussed, and it was decided to hold it at State Park, on Chuckanut Drive. Boynton, Thue, and Rich were those appointed as a committee to handle the affairs. •; Mr. Victor Hoppe was given the use of t h e Board of Control lockers for his play work. These lockers are placed back stage of the auditorium. Rich and Kuzmoski were appointed to take care of the placing of trophies in a suitable case. The W. A. A. submitted a proposed change in their constitution during the middle of the quarter, but due to other business this had not been brought up. I t was read Monday, but no action was taken on it. As a parting gift to the students the Board of Control will stage the regular Rec hour this Friday afternoon, and then on Saturday evening they will handle a special Rec hour in t he big gym, from the hours of 8 to 10. The regular Rec hour orchestra will play for both these occasions. Incidentally, in regard to the music, the Board announced themselves in favor of the hiring of the present Rec hour band next quarter, and although all the present members won't be serving next quarter, they, a re putting it down in the minutes as favoring such action. The Tri-Normal meet, which is held here every three years will take place next May. Heretofore, programs or booklets for it haven't been published, but Gordon Leen and Jack Greaves have made application to put them out. Leen is to appear at the" next meeting with an outline of his plans, and in all probability they will be accepted. A slight conflict has arisen in r e gard to the big gym floor. I t is primarily for athletics, but is also used for dancing. Floor wax is urged by the dancers, while it materially hinders and is dangerous to. t he Physical Education work. Nothing has been done about it, although the Board" favors the wax, and probably will continue to put it on lightly, .as they have done in the past. Dr. A.

A number of these may be reinstated by appearing before the scholarship committee and applying for readmission. Committee meets Today. The scholarship committee meets this afternoon in the Dean Bever's office at 2 o'clock, and'the petitions of all those wishing reinstatement will be considered. It has been the practice to readmit, on probation, such students as would' be able to meet the standard of scholarship on further trial. A student on probation will not be permitted to become a candidate for a diploma or receive a teaching assignment in the training school. Rules Given The rules of scholarship are: A student who, in any quarter, has done work of F grade in two or more subjects, aggregating five or more of his registered hours shall be dropped. A student who, in two or more quarters of work, shall have received grades of^.D and F in more than one-half-' of his registered hours, shall be dropped. .A student who, at the end of the fifth week in any quarter or at the end of any quarter, is reported as doing (a) work of F grade in three or more of his registered hours, or (b) work of D and F grades in six cr more of his registered hours, shall be warned and placed on a guidance list. A student shall be taken from the guidance list at the end of the quarter in which he has received grades better than the above standard. - o t— INSTITUTE TO BEGIN i Annual Bible Institute • Sponsored by Normal Y.

Plans were discussed and immediate action was taken on work scheduled for the next three months. In the history of the school there has been mapped out for them to follow this quarter, the Pep club held a meeting last Monday night. Plans were discussed and immediate action was taken on work scheduled for the next three months. In the history of the school there has never been an organization directly in line and responsible for the handling of pep assemblies, rooting, entertainments and various other functions that are connected with athletic and social programs of the school. There has been a keen need felt for such a body and it first started actual formation when the Pep band was organized last quarter at the football games and assembly programs. Musser President The officers heading the club are: JackMusser, president; Joyce Arnolds, vice president; Ann Swan-son, secretary; and Clarence Thus, director of the band. There are sixty selected students in the club at the present time. These will act as charter members with the enrollment being increased to a hundred. Committees are working on the choosing of new members and invitations will be sent out soon to those selected. The club is collecting those with some type of talent that can be used in the social, entertaining or rooting features of the program. Those three points will comprise the main nucleus for the purpose of the organization. Have Uniforms The Peppers will use a uniform mode of dress . The girls will wear white sweaters and blue skirts while the boys will wear white trousers and blue sweaters. This will add considerable color to the rooting section at the coming ball ga^ Band. Members The Pep band, which automatically has membership in the club, played this morning in the assembly after a week of hard practice with the addition of several members. WOMEN'S LEAGUE PLAN TO GIVE INFORMAL IN MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY The Women's Outside Informal, to be given in the middle of February, hints copying of the vogue set by the men and will stage their dance in some outside ballroom, according to information given out by Jean Philippi, president of the Women's League. The social committee, under Dorothy Sasse, chairman, meets this evening to formulate definite plans for the first informal of the winter quarter. The Inside girls' dftnce being staged on a later date. Men's Informal, Annual Keeping the tradition of the school clear by giving just one informal a year, the Men's club dropped all ideas and plans for a dance in the spring quarter, and will lend their time to help the girls with their scoial functions. o-= E COLOR TO BE Final Plans for General Make-up Are Being Made by Year-book's Staff.

Auditorium Scene of Coming Examinations Miss Elizabeth Hopper, secretary of the Appointment Bureau, reports the two recent appointments: Opal Jenkins, Anacortes, grades 3 and 4; Jane L.L'Eveque, Great Falls, primary, Achievement tests for the Winter quarter are to be held in the Normal auditorium with the college aptitude being given Thursday, January 16, at 8 a. m. Arithmetic, English and Spelling, Tuesday, January 21 at 4 p. m. And Geography, History and Penmanship, Wednesday, January 22 at 4 p. m. These tests are principally given to students new to the school or those who have not »taken them. Students who have failed them the second may take them over with a charge of twenty-five cents for the achievement tests and fifty cents for the college aptitude tests. A new ruling went into effect on October 1, 1929 mainly that the tests may be retaken only three times. This does not affect students who have taken retests prior to October first. _ o OPEN AERONAUTICS BUILDING A new University of Washington Aeronautics building, a Daniel Guggenheim Foundation structure, was unofficially opened last Monday. The formal opening of this edifice, said to incorporate the best features of- the six Guggenheim buildings in the United States, will be held in April during the Engineer's Open .House Thursday, January 16, and Thursday, January 23, are the dates set for tryouts for choosing the cast of the Drama Club play, according to an announcement made by Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, of the Speech department. The tryouts next Thursday will be held to select forty members for the Drama Club, and everybody is invited to turn out. They will be held from three to five in the afternoon. This would increase the membership' of the club to fifty. Play Not Selected • Then on the following Thursday the members of the cast will be picked from the club members. The play to be used has not been selected, but three are under consideration, and one will be chosen next week. The play is to be given twice, probably en the Thursday and Friday before spring vacation. It will be under the direction of Mr. Hoppe, who has just returned from a quarter's leave of absence.

Study time is a very valuable commodity, and should only be traded for valuable consideration. Not long ago the .University of California issued a booklet analyzing the. factors that enter into effective study. The publication was the result of extensive research by the faculty in collaboration with the student body, and_ represents a type of survey that students would do well to conduct with regard to their own study problems. A few of the thirty-one points elaborated on in the treatise follow: 1. Keep physically fit. Decide upon and stick to a plan which provides adequate sleep, nourishing food, and outdoor exercise, for physical 'fitness, save in the rarely .exceptional case, is essential to mental efficiency. 2. Utilize textbooks effectively. Learn the technique of using the topic sentences, cross references, tallies, charts, indexes, tabless of contests and bibliographies of books as means of getting more quickly and surely at their essence. 3. Master library technique. 4. Review. Review rapidly the outstanding points and issues of yesterday's work before beginning today's work. 5. Scan the assignment as a whole. With an assignment of work before you, take a bird's-eye view of the entire assignment before beginning its detailed study, noting the period covered, the types of facts presented, the procedures involved, the problems raised, and attack the most important issues first. 6. Enlarge your vocabulary. Words are among the important tools of thought. Increasing your vocabulary through observation and a discriminating use of the significant words and terms that appear in your , work will mean an increase in the quality of your thinking. 7. Take the scholarly attitude. Take pride in problems correctly solved, techniques mastered, thoughts well expressed, work neatly done. Cultivate a chronic dissatisfaction with hasty or careless work. Be thorough. 8. Prepare to assume responsibility. Plan for a position in which you will be entrusted with responsibility that will call for the exercise of your highest capacity. This sort of thing makes dry reading sometimes, but if students would incorporate a few of these ideas into their daily thought, being a "Stu- , dent" would mean more to them than merely being the member of a live student body. ., o T H E W A R N I NG A new club recently pushed its way through the great mass of clubs that already smother the institution, to become one of the leading organizations at Normal. The Pep club, a young hopeful, is now in its most enthusiastic state, full of energy, pep, youth and life. It is a'club worth while and a sort that Normal wants. / One thing, Pep club ,we would advise you to stabilize your purpose; make your club stand on a firm foundation that it may continue to live after the present membership dissolves. So many, many of our clubs here are either dead or so far gone that they are a detriment and hindrance to the institution. Most of them are dead or dying simply because they failed to build their organization upon strong, durable, foundations and the heavy, unbalanced membership that was placed on frail foundations merely tottered under the strain of undemocratic relations until it crumbled to an unsightly heap to clutter Normal activity. So, to you, Normal's newest aspirant, we say, build a sturdy foundation that will be lasting and one that our school can be justly proud. Hail, Pep club, long may you live to brighten and foster institutional activities! Well, here y'are, studes... It's a great life, isn't it?

W. L., suggests a course in Discipline for prospective teachers. It almost brought a shudder up ,my spine. You're getting your viewpoint wrong-end to. Get hold of the INTERESTS of children and discipline assumes a very minor place. TOO, DON'T go out with notions of 15 years ago, or even farther back, and be the big crank up in front who is teaching a lot of little nuts behind. The teacher's place is to guide and direct, not to command/ The school room must approximate life, and what is the guiding principle there? That you can do as you please and follow your bent as long as you don't interfere with the,, rights of others. This same principle .will solve all schoolroom situations. Group' pressure can be brought to bear upon the obstreperous with more effect oftentimes than the admonishings of the teacher. I am not alone in this viewpoint, as so great a man as Dr. Edwin W. Starbuck, professor of philosophy at Iowa State University: ."The school is like a garden, not like a factory; character is something that grows as the fruitage of personal conduct. It cannot be produced by machine-like methods. Plant the good life in t he MUSCLES and MOTIVES of children rather than in their thoughts ABOUT conduct". Or, as Miss Gunther puts it, "We learn to do by doing". Don't accept her statement merely because she says it, but think it out. Isn't it so? —E. B. F. They would thereby be forced to take up some line of work that does not require the strenuous mental effort that must be made by teachers, and by members of t he other professions that are open to t he college trained man or woman. There may be a few of the brighter students who can get their subjects without attending class, but they are very scarce. And those who are smart enough to do so are smart enough to attend except when there is something that is really important to prevent them; and if there is something important, it is almost a crime to penalize them for their absence. So the whole thing, as I see it, may be summed up as follows: The student who is dumb enough to "cut" often, does not deserve to complete the course, and would flunk out penalty or no penalty. The student who is sufficiently intelligent to deserve to graduate, is intelligent enough to attend classes. And the student who is bright enough to get his subjects outside of class is bright enough to attend, except when he really should be elsewhere, at which time he should not be penalized for absence.

I have heard several comments from others on this same subject and all seem to think it unfair. • If this money is "Being used to give the health service we receive it is being wasted and if it is being used ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 January 10 - Page 3 ---------- Rangers To Battle Vikings Tomorrow nwmmmmmmmmMmm MTT i l i F ! Our hope and pride, the 1930 basketball team of this institution, will try the first of the sixteen hurdles of the coming season tomorrow evening when they meet up with St. Martins. One thing, we can be thankful that we have such true Norsemen as Ericksori, Thorsen Pederson, etc., to defend our Viking ship. And in all seriousness, they are plenty good, as are Dixon and Kasch, and if the season doesn't start out with a bang, it won't be their fault. We noticed that the U. of W. hoop team defeated Conzaga this week. Nothing startling about thai, it's true, but when you see the name of the high point man, you realize that some people have no mercy on the poor reporters who are instructed to get ALL names RIGHT. Anybody with the name Choeneckei who is high point man in a basketball game with 13 points!! Thank Heavens, we have no one on the Viking squad with an unpronounceable or unspelled name. Speaking about basketball for all, if every man isn't playing basketball in this school, it is his own fault. Take a look at this. There were ten games played by teams of this school this week. Four intramural games were played, the Super- Varsity played the Roland Wreckers, the J. V.'s played the' Blue Ribbon Creamery and iheBell-ingham Business College, and the Varsity played Blaine and St. Martins. Thats seven different teams playing in one week, which is some record, considering the number of men in school. Now to leave basketball for a moment, and shed a few tears over our dear, departed "Smoker'.' Of course, We were somewhat interested in the boxing and wrestling bouts, but what we deplore most is the missing of the "Battle of the Century" between the heavyweights, Brunstad, and Lester, The Great V"oris. But don't give up hope, wc are sure that men like those two cannot forever keep their light under a bushel, but will sometime burst forth in all their glory. A little piece of advice. If you have nothing to do tonight, you can see what should be a pretty exhibition of basketball, over at the Whatcom High School Gym, where the Redskins play Blaine. It is the only high school game in the city tonight. From what we hear, James M. Phelan, late of Purdue, got a warm welcome to his new school last Wednesday. Coming by plane, he was greeted at the field by a big crowd, took part in a parade, was welcomed by Dr. Spencer, received in assembly, and was in all ways shown that he was very, very welcome at the University of Washington. And, by the way, he is Mr. Phay-len, not Fee-Ian. According to all reports, he has always been well liked by the players and fans where he has been employed as coach, and those who know him prophesy success for him i n ! the West. But if you forget everything else, remember this. Tomorrow night, Fairhaven High School Gym. Eight o'clock; Vikings vs. St. Martin's. BE (THERE!' •". Viking To Encounter First College Foe Tomorrow In Shape of St. Martin's Five Strength of Normal Squad Is Unknown as Varsity Prepares to Meet Rangers; Dixon and Thorsen Are Only Lettermen on Blue White Hoop Tearrr. Junior Varsity Plays Bellingham Business College in Preliminary Contest Slated to Start at 7:15. VIKINGS WON LAST YEAR Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock the Viking basketball team meets the first collegiate foe of its 1930 basketball season, its old rival, St. Martins, on the Fairhaven High School floor. The Blue and White team will go on the floor to this game as an unknown quantity. Dixon, at center, and Thorsen, at guard; are the only two lettermen back this year. The men of the team are new to intercollegiate basketball, and just how they will show up under fire is still a matter for conjecture, although the Viking fans are hoping for the best. "Dark Horse" The St. Martins team is also a "Dark Horse", but one thing is certain, if they run true to form, they will be good enough. And another thing, they will be out for vengeance Last year the Vikings handed the Laceyites two defeats to the tune of 41 to 15, and 33 to 23. With the 19 to 0 drubbing given them this fall in football piled on top of that, the Rangers will be out for blood. The Viking squad has been working hard for the last five weeks, however, and should be in condition tomorrow to give the visitors a real run for their money. Line-up Coach Sam Carver has announced as a tentative lineup for this game: Erickson and Kasch, forwards; Dixon, center; and Thorsen and Pederson, guards. He has Sanders and Rork as reserves. A preliminary contest between the Bellingham Business College and the Junior-Varsity is scheduled to begin at 7:15. Thursday, January 2, the Varsity trimmed Mt. Vernon Junior College, 22 to 15. Dixon was high point man of the contest with eight markers. HO! The Thespians' intra-mural basketball team continued its unbroken string of victories last night when they swamped, the hustlers 35 to 19. As a result of this win the game between the Thespians and the Philos next Thursday will be a championship affair. McCleary was the star scorer of the afternoon, chalking up 13 points for the winners. The other game of the day was registered as a win for the Co-ops, the Men's club forfeiting because of an ineligible man on their team. With the help of this player they had beaten the Co-op by t he score of 15 to 14. Brinkman of the Men's club was high scorer with seven points. The Philos and the Co-op were victors in the intra-mural games played last Tuesday. The Philos downed the Alley-Cats 27 to 22, while the Co-ops defeated the Hustlers 37 to 16. In the game between the Co-op and the Hustlers' three men were tied for high pointy honors with ten points ach. They were Rice and Bushby of the Co-op,' and Bullard of the Hustlers. In t he other game Smith of the Alley-Cats with 14 points, took the cup. Sherman of the Philos scored 11 markers. The line-ups. Thespians, 35 Hustlers, 19 Cole 8 '...„ F. Bullard 8 Markhart 4 ......

The Viking basketball team showed altogether too much speed and basket-shooting ability for' the big Blaine town team and so had the pleasure of taking a 39 to 29 victory last night on the Fairhaven floor. Both teams were somewhat erratic in then: team-work, and off on their shooting, but what was lacking in form was made up for in fight, making an interesting game for the spectators. The Normal team showed a greater ability to get shots under the basket, and although many went awry, enough went through to win the game. Kasch, the little blond forward on the Viking team, swished more through the hoop than anyone else on the floor, and took off high point honors with twelve counters. Dixon, center, was next, with ten points. Carleton, forward, and T. Hanson, center, were high point men for Blaine, with nine markers each. Hanson, center, were high point men for Blaine, with nine markers each. Hanson did not seem to be able to get away from Erickson last night to do his usual heavy scoring. It is probable that he missed his brother, Bill, who did not arrive until the last five minutes of the contest. The Borderites staged a rally in the last few minutes of the game, when Erickson, Pederson, and Thorsen all went out on too many personals, but then the Viking subs did a little rallying themselves, and kept the situation from becoming in anyways serious. The first few minutes of the game was nip and tuck, but after they got warmed up t he Vikings pulled ahead, and were leading 20 .to 12 at half-time. The second half was fairly even, with the Vikings increasing their lead by two points. The line-ups are: Normal, 39 .Blaine, 29 Erickson 1 F Carelton 9 Kasch 12 ...'. F Jones 2 Dixon 10 C T.

The rally was called to introduce the new sports for the winter quarter. The meeting opened with an introductory talk by Miss Ruth Weythman, head of the Physical Education department. She told the purpose of the athletic association and invited the new girls to turn out for athletics. Ruth Sammons, president of the W. A. A., spoke on the proposed changes of the constitution. Miss Marjery Horton, swimming instructor, spoke on swimming as a sport and told of the Freshman and Sophomore teams which would be chosen at the end of the quarter. Freshman turnouts will be Thursday night at seven o'clock and Sophomore turnouts at eight. Basketball Manager Speaks Sue McMillan, basketball manager for the quarter, invited all the girls to turn out for basketball, which will be under Miss Milded Jewell and Miss Margery Horton. A group of old members of the basketball squads put on a stunt in which the old fashioned1 basketball player played a heavy game against the modern girl in the modern suit. The old-fashioned idea was also carried out in a swimming stunt. Ye olde bathing suits with fluttering skirts and high bathing shoes made a notable appearance. Tap Dance Given A tap dance was next given by three of the girls in last quarter's tap dancing class. Miss Jewell spoke on badminton, sei'vus ball, and basketball as winter sports and their interest to the girls. Beatrice Johnson followed by a description of badminton as a game and Bernice Johnson described servus ball. There were stunts after each talk in which gay, old-fashioned ladies came out in antique suits. Ruth Sammons spoke of hiking the final winter sport of which Miss Lillian George has charge. The rally closed with dancing to the winning strains of the pep orchestra which offered their services for the occasion. o FAIRHAVEN LEADING IN COUNTY STANDING County Class "A" Standings Won Lost Fairhaven ... 3 0 Mt.

Baker 24 to 11 last Friday, January 3. The South-siders played their best game so far this year, and that, combined with the erratic shooting of the Mountaineers, gave the locals victory. The game was played at Deming. Whatcom Wins One Whatcom, the other Bellingham team, broke into the win column for the first time Friday when they swamped the weak Sumas-Nook-team 47 to 12. The Redskins showed some real class in this game, Walt Bliss starring with 23 points. In the other contest of the week Lynden won its second game in a row by trouncing Blaine 21 to 15.

That StudentsShould Not Lose Contact with Life About Them Was Stressec »y President. OUTLINES IDEAL COLLEGE President C. H. Fisher, in addressing the students last Tuesday in the first assembly of 1930, stressed the fact that students should not lose contact with the daily life that goes on about them. I n his address, President Fisher read selections from the book, "Students Speak Out", a collection of essays written by college students to show up the weaknesses of the present college system. . Normal Fault Free In discussing these failings, which include over stress in college ath- •• letics, unnecesary formality in classes, the distorted fraternity and sorority condition, and other school weaknesses, President Fisher pointr ed out t h a t the Bellingham Normal was almost free of the faults cited. A Utopian College In this connection, Fisher outlined his ideal college, where classes were strictly informal, and where everyone, students and faculty, worked in co-operation, with the single idea of helping each other. He stressed the necessity of estimating values giving the impression that this can be accomplished best through a reasonable degree of contact with the life of the day. 200 GUESTS ATTEND LEAGUE TEA GIVEN IN HALL BLUE ROOM The first social event of t he winter quarter was t he all-school tea sponsored by the Women's League at Edens Hall, Wednesday, January 8. The decorations were simple yet lovely. The curtains of the Blue Boom were drawn and rose colored tapers glowed softly from the mantle and small tables. A delightful program was arranged with Mary McDonald in a dramatic reading, Barbara Bourne in two charming vocal solos, and a number by t h e Willustra Trio. Two Hundred Attend About 200 guests, including the faculty were present. Miss Lucy Kangley, Miss Anna Ullin, Miss Ruth Patt, and Miss Ruth Strickland poured. The committees appointed by Dorothy Sasse, social chairman of the Women's League, worked faithfully and efficiently to make the tea a success. Particular credit is due to the girls who served: Bema-dine Brown, Margaret McQuade, Ruby Wallen, Claire Wilson, eParl Auvil, and Ruth Sammons. o FOUR GAMES SCHEDULED IN COUNTY THIS WEEK HUGHES-SASSE TEA Lyn Hughes and Dorothy Sasse were hostesses to. seventy-five guests at. a tea given from 2:30 to 5 p. m., a t the home of Miss Sasse, December 30. The charming decorations in keeping with the holiday spirit consisted of red tapers, holly and scarlet carnations. Catherine Morse, home from Stanford University for the holidays, sang two solos, accompanied by Jean Philippi, who also favored with a piano solo. Margaret Morrison played a piano selection. Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Kirchhaine poured. Four games will be played in the county this week by Class "A" High schools. Two of these will be played in the city, Whatcom vs. Blaine, tonight, and Whatcom vs. Everett, Saturday. Fairhaven High school goes to Lynden this evening to play the Liofis in what will probably be the hardest game of the week. Both teams are strong, and t h e battle will be fast and furious. Mount Baker should have an easy time beating the inexperienced Sumas- Nooksack team on the latter's floor in the only other contest.

L. • 4 — OF CONTROL FAVORS PEP BAND u I I • The present writer and founder of the column "Normalite", which has somehow existed in The Viking far five quarters, wishes to balance a few old accounts, close the books, and cast them in the direction of Ray Craft, who has attained quite an eminent position in campus circles— politically, socially, and journalistically. „ : And Mr. Craft will have to go seme, should we wish to carry on With the same pace that—(and with a blush of modesty I'll drift over in the world of education). W. S. N. S. - It often "burnt me up" to see how sacrilegiously some journalists could write. For instance,. Mr. Sundstrom, who took over "Normalite" during my leave of absence would peck quite mirthlessly at the way the campus was run. He maintained that if attendance at the Normal was not required, few, if any would show up in classes. Perhaps Sundstrom was right, but in a slightly different sense than he" anticipated. It happens that in 1930 we are not ready for the ideal Normal school. And should one be instigated now we would have practically no use nor appreciation for such an institution . We still like to get our education by contract, rather than by direct" purpose. Like insurance, we pay quarterly premiums in form of registration fees. So, summing educational activity •up quickly, it seems logical to still use the clock, the curricula, and the orderly ways of doing things, because the school is a center for the group and not as yet for the indi- •yidual. Report on Students' Co-Op. Proves Favorable; Sam Ford Will Attend Manager's Meeting at Pullman. BOND FACULTY ADVISOR Control Board Will Budget Money Apportionment for Next Term at Regular Meeting, Monday. NEED FOR MORE MEN IS URGENT IN CHORAL CLUB FOR "CREATION" Now, let's get down to a few present problems. After attempting to make realities of the School song contest, ..a constitutional amendment (now forgotten) a men's glee club, and whatnot, Normalite would., bate ..a breath toward a problem that will be a real problem when you begin ycur student teaching. • It's the problem of discipline. One writer in these columns recently reprimanded me when I stated that a course which would take up everything concerning the technique cf discipline is a felt and paramount need in our curricula. Child interest was the main factor in the argument: that if child interest was taken care of, discipline would become natural. I t should be repeated that this is still 1930... Isn't it possible that we may be just a little ahead of times and practice in the above painted ideal?.. What is the situation out in the teaching field?.. It is for the most., part., discipline—it probably shouldn't l gt;e—but yet just this situation exists right now... Scores of courses here offer to strengthen the interest side—courses which are excellent for the present, but which as our psychologists tell us do not transfer over for future practical use. We are a Christian nation;., but how few of us practice real Christianity. I t is well to have ideas and ideals, but let's get them working for an appreciable betterment of the pres- .ent. While all kinds of theories might be true if carried to their ultimates, • human needs' might be met best if they were cared for right now by a present panacea, instead of being fed by an opiate of theory —educationally, at least. The Board of Control will budget its money apportionment for the coming quarter at its next regular meeting next Monday. This announcement was made by Lyle Summers following the meeting of last week. Considerable business was taken up at the last meeting. The Board stated its stand on hiring student musicians for "rec" hours as "favoring them providing that they can satisfy the demands of the student in general". The. newly formed student five-piece dance band will be given a trial at today's danced which •will take place per usual. The Board decreased some of the worries of the Pep band leaders by authorizing the purchase of a bass drum. Ford Goes to Pullman There was an auditory report made en the Student's Co-Op, and proved favorable. In connection with the Co-Op audit the Board will send Sam Ford, manager, to Pullman next March for the Coop managers' convention. Mr. E. A. Bond, of the Mathematics department was unanimously elected as faculty advisor to the Student Board of Control for four quarters. _—o CLUB PLANS DANCES The.Choral club tryout, held last Monday afternoon, resulted in the appearance of. some seventy students, sixty of them being girls and the remaining ten, boys. Credit is given in this class and and it is listed under Music 20a and 20b, its purpose being to aid the student in learning and performing oratorios. There will be regular meetings every Monday at 4. o'clock and work will begin immediately on Haydn's "Creation';.

Plans Made at Pep Club Meeting to Raise Necessary Funds by a Series of Afternoon Dances. -W. S. N. S.- But foresight has its place. Especially when it is pointing to a vacant spot in the curricula of the nation's schools. It is safe to predict that within the next five years every school child in urban America will carry home two report cards instead of one. The added card will rate the student as to character values: application, fairness, etc. After all, what is, t he .real goal of education?—the latter mentioned qualities or ability in Chemistry of ^Colloids for example? With plans for the adding of color and pep to the coming Varsity games as the main topic of discussion, the nawly organized Pep club held a meeting Tuesday night in the auditorium. vi Regulations for an advisory board were drawn up. In addition to the officers the board for this quarter will include Lou Griffin and William Ward. Shirts Selected The type of sweat shirts to be worn was selected after much discussion. The members will mostly buy these themselves but funds are bo be raised to help with their payment. Music for the dance will be furnished by the newly organized student five-piece dance band that will make its second appearance at today's "rec" hour. On February 7 the club will hold an initiation for the 50 new members that are being selected this week. b Those who plan to travel, to the Orient are offered a new course at the University of Washington extension service that will give a broader' knowledge of the people and customs of the far east. The course, under the direction of Professor Eldon Griffin of the University's department of Oriental stud-, ies, metes in the Henry building at 8 o'clock each Wednesday evening. WOMEN TAKE LEAD Twenty-one students completed their studies in a two-year course with the close of the fall quarter and of these three have already secured positions. Diplomas will not be granted to the rest until the end of the spring quarter unless the graduates receive appointments before that time. This 'makes the time limit of the diploma longer. Women in Lead Women, as usual, greatly outnumber the men and Bellingham has the greatest number of graduates. The three now teaching are: Mel-vin Omeg, Toledo; Opal Jenkins, Seattle, and Ruth Bump, Wenat-chee. The others are: Ruth .Bradley, Burlington; Ellen Chapman,' Tacoma; Ted* Clarke, Bellingham; Edith Coffman, Centralis ; Ethel Dahlman, Castlerock ; Charles Erickson, Marysville; Or-leane Fitcha, Astoria, Oregon; Ruth Herman', Everett; Louise Jonas, Ab-ardeen; Hannah Jones, Twisp; Gordon Leen, ' Bellingham; Richard Louis, Seattle; Hazel O'Connor.

' Second of the plays of the 1929r 30 season of the First Circuit Repertory Company of the Moroni Olsen Players, Karel Capek's "The Makropoulos Secret" will be presented here on January 24, under the-auspices of the Bellingham State Normal School. The subject matter of "The Makropolous Secret" is subject matter with which philosophers, and fabulists and dramatists have played for countless years—the subject, of perpetual individual existence. It is the subject matter of "The Wandering Jew" and the subject matter of "The Flying Dutchman" and of the legend of the Fountain :f Youth and innumerable other basic human legends. But in the hands of Capek it receives a new treatment and is 'a-ansmuted through the fantastic imagination of this great play-vright, into a new and amazingly fascinating thing. Secret Hinted The secret, hinted at in the very opening of the play, hangs darkly mplied over. the whole progress of ;he action. The reader or audience :egins to share with the characters In the play, the combined feeling, of eagerness for the last mask to be striped from the face of Emilia Marty and of almost panic at the premonition of whai that unmasking will reveal. , Then the secret is fully disclosed and Emilia, this woman who has lived and been youthful for 350 years, until existence and human experience inall its phases has flattened to the monotony of an oft-told tale, faces that from which she has flinched through the time of nine generations of normal, life. Secret Perishes She makes her decision, the secret disclosed is permitted to perish, and humanity is saved from the horror and the burde nof possible immortality. Pure fantastic material, one is inclined to say in advance, but when one reads the play or witnesses it in production, Capek's skill as an artist, succeeds in turning the fantastic material into something of astonishing reality and vitality. The First Circuit Repertory Company, in presenting this play, will bring back on the circuit several members who were not with the tour of "Twelve Thousand", the. first play of the season, in which the cast was limited.

It has been arranged through the executive ability of the Women's League to hold their quarterly ball in the new crystal room in tiie Hotel Leopold, making it possible to accommodate all the girls who wish to attend. Prices are no higher than before, one dollar admitting a couple. This dance promises to be one of the most successful of Normal's history, judging from the fine enthusiasm already displayed by girls planning to go with their best Boy friend, and the arrangements made with Hotel authorities and orchestra. Barney's orchestra will furnish the music for the dancers in the "Night Club".,, T H A T ' S F I G H T I N G , F A N S! Last Saturday, at the St. Martin's game, an enthusiastic crowd of basketball fans were on the job. It showed, for one thing, that Normal wasn't a "one sport school", in that we have an interest for another game besides football, that we can recognize a real basketball quintet and are anxious to give it any aid from the side lines that we can. Most of us wish we could go with the team to Ellensburg and Cheney next week, but,anyway in our hearts we wish them the best of success and hope they swamp both those institutions. o News Item: "It appears that the city of Chicago will have to close its schools February I, due to the bankruptcy of its school system, and due to the fact that the city can neither beg nor borrow money to keep things going." Here is a chance for the student majoring in finance at the University of Chicago, to come to the rescue. • . o . MORONI O L S E N P L A Y E RS Organized in the Fall of 1923, in a loft workshop over a grocery store in Ogden, Utah, the Moroni Olsen players began their extensive career. The purpose of the organization is to perfect their own art through the presentation of plays of recognized merit and distinction, to a public, wherever it may be found, that lacks otherwise the opportunity to see first rate presentations of plays of this sort. Effort directed toward perfection of the dramatic ensemlV.e, without star or leading lady or man as a part of the system, and to hold the organization's nucleus together over a period of years sufficient to develop this ideal of ensemble production. Karel Capek has proved himcelf a master of realistic phantasy already, in " R . U. R.", presented by the Normal Drama club last year, and in the "Makropoulos Secret", coming next Friday, he displays the same great sense of theater and of human logic that is felt in that earlier play of the "robots". • The Company is sponsored by the Bellingham Normal and it will be worthwhile for students to attend this performance. : O : ....THIS MORNING I SAW SILVER MOUNTAIN PEAKS AGAINST the morning blue. # * * * And yesterday I saw miles of jreen foam, bit into by jagged points and islands and fretted by sharp uneasy winds. * * * * i Last night the world was draped in silver and srystalline. Some students have paid their health fees of two dollars and have not been sick. To such we recommend that you eat .lobster salad, ice cream, a few pickles and some cheese.

Some student's receive as much as fifty dollars worth of nursing in a quarter. You never know when you inay^ If you should gt;happen to have a quarantine case you would be put in the isolation hospital and cared for until well at the school's expense. It is true that the boys do not receive as much care as the girls do, but that is due to their own temerity in coming to the nurse's office to receive treatment. It is just as much for them as for the girls. —E. B. F. o — HOMELY TRIBUTE • i n2S2H2HaKasa BENNYS RAINLESS Rice Meadqtiarters': J Move to Seattle ITS.

Viking Writer Gives Views on Rec Orchestra By RAY CRAFT T H E N E W E R T R E N D IN E D U C A T I ON We are unconscious of a newer trend in education. Five years ago mass education was the thing, and it was a common thing to say: "I'm a college student". Five years* from now it will be rather an uncommon thing to utter such a statement. And ten years from today education in America will go back again to an aristocracy, but unquestionably a different species of aristocracy than was upheld in the 60's or even back as far as Colonial times. It will be a truer aristocracy, and will not be based on standards of jnaterial wealth, but rather upon the wealih of the mind. It shall be an aristocracy of scholarship in its finest sense. University, college, and normal standards have been raised ever so much in the last decade. It's safe to state that enrollments in higher schools the country over have decreased from 5 to 25 percent. This is particularly true of the Pacific Coast, including our own school. And as far as standards are concerned, in 1933 every student here will be required to go an extra year for a regular normal diploma. Grades will be above par and diplomas will be at a premium. It appears that we are Reaching,a Cold Standard in the profound business of guiding our growing-up'men and women. • In shorter words, the educator may now appeal his problem—that it is a question whether or not the American nation is better off with a mass of half-baked diploma holders, or whether if a newer and finer aristocracy should control the country's welfare and destiny. The problem has grown to be a regular seven-headed hydra, bringing along a few other situations that require real thinking—situations such as a surplus of under-educated beings, and also the administrative aggravation of financing adequately a school when enrollment is already the basis for revenue. ;• About the only gratifying thought left is that America is large enough and heterogeneous enough to be a testing ground for all kinds of educational experiments—the kind of experiments that lead to improve- ™e n t s - —G.

The music was "plenty good" and the dancing was enthusiastically enjoyed. A good deal of discussion was stimulated by the use of the student- made music, and the Board of C o n t r o l s considering spending the apportionment for Rec Hour with members of the student body, in-N stead of for a professional band, as has been done in the past.

M. C. A. thrown in for good measure. But it's tough on the team to have to play these games away from home. The fellows will need all the moral support they can get, so give the boys a hand before they start on the trip. The Varsity certainly had a wild tussle Monday night with the Knappton -Travelers. Prom the noise made by the very few fans present, a crowd the size of the one at the St. Martin's game would have wrecked the gym. And the funny part of it is that the Travelers got as much support as the home-town-ers.

Wednesday, and Cheney Normal on Next Thursday and Friday. TEAM LEAVES SUNDAY We see that Mr. James "Jimmy" Phelan, new coach at the JJ. of W., has started work early. After talking it over with his predecessor. Enoch Bagshaw, he called out the football team last Friday, and told them what he expected of them. Who knows but what that may be the beginning for a 1930 Coast Conference championship ? Washington State seems to have a mighty good start on this year's basketball season, seeing as they are leading in the Northwest division with three losses and one defeat. They split a two game series with Oregon University last week, and took two straight from Oregon State this week. The University of Washington opens its conference season tonight against Oregon State. Wish we had the nerve; of our well known friend, George Herman Rath. We might influence somebody to give us a job with the satisfactory pay check of a few hundred a month. Imagine asking $255,- 000 just to knock a piece of horse-hide around for three years. Who says it doesn't pay to advertise?.. This week's allotment of high school basketball for our fair city is the game between Fairhaven, the league leaders, and Blaine, cellar champs. It looks like a walk-away, but who can tell? Whatcom's team goes to Mount Baker in an effort to root the Mountaineers out of second place, and" that game will probably be close. The games are Friday night. \ . And now let's give the Super-varsity a pat on the back. With the first half over, they ..are ..leading with four victories and no defeatss. I t 's true that they must play a postponed game with the Y. M. C. A. team, but the worst they can do is to be tied for first, and the idea is to hope for the best. Eleven Girls Scale Chuckanut Mountain Last Saturday Miss Lillian George took eleven girls on a hike to Chuckanut mountain where a marvelous view of all the surrounding country may be had. Miss Reese, of the library staff, also accompanied them. •Several all-day hikes have been planned for this quarter. Among which will be a hike up Lummi mountain, on Lummi Island. All Girls May Go These hikes are open to all girls in the school even though they do not belong to the W." A. A. Miss George said that she wished more girls would turn out because they have very enjoyable trips. Announcements for the hikes aire posted on the W.A. A. bulletin board far enough in advance to make plans accordingly. Gloom settled down on the camp of Coach Sam Carver and his Blue and White horde late this week when it was learned that Bill Kasch, former St. Martin's star, might be ineligible for the Ellensburg and Cheney games. This will narrow the team down to six and with only one reserve a mighty big chance is being taken. Leaves Sunday The team leaves here Sunday about 6 o'clock, and Monday and Tuesday will see them exchanging growls in the lair of the Ellensburg Wildcats, Wednesday they will do battle with the Yakima Y. M. C. A., and Friday and Saturday they will exchange warhoops with the Cheney Savages and will arrive here again Monday afternoon. Toagh Opposition The Vikings are going to run into a lot of tough opposition when they venture forth on their basketball crusade as Ellensburg has defeated such teams as Idaho, Oregon, Whitman and W. S. C. The Y. M. C. A. is just a former W. S. C. team, and Cheney has defeated Gonzaga University. But the Vikings will take care of themselves. The men Carver has picked to go for sure, are: Pederson, Rork, Dixon, Sanders, Erickson, Thorsen, and Miller, with possibily Kasch. o SITORS TAKE FAST SWIM MEETS TO BE HELD ATY.W.C.A. Knappton Travelers Cinch a 41-37 Victory in Fast and Furious Mix with Varsity on Fairhaven Floor: Getting three baskets in as many unguarded attempts, Joe Mechals cinched a 41-37 victory for the Knappton Travelers, of Raymond, over the Viking Varsity last Monday night on the Fairhaven floor. The Travelers won the contest only after the locals had forced the ame into a second five-minute overtime period. The play was fast and furious in these two extra cantos, with the Normalites leading with the offensive work and outfighting their opponents, but unguarded players on three occasions cost them an apparent victory. "During the first three quarters the contest was I comparatively slow caused mostly by the close checking of the players and the repeated long shots of the Knappton tossers that were sometimes tried from the center of the floor. Last Quarter Wild Both teams, however, turned loose in the last quarter and the score see-sawed back and forth in an uncertain manner. The outsiders got a two-point lead and started to stall but a break for the Vikings gave Pederson a chance to sink a long one and knot tbe- score with only ten seconds of play remaining. Play Over-Time The first over-time period was just a case of two "wild" teams scoring one basket after another, each quintet accounting for eight points in that short period. It looked like a Bellingham victory when a basket by Thorsen and three by Pederson gave them a 6 marker lead but three longs by the winners tied the score at 35. Cripple Shots Win . Again the squads entered an overtime but a conservative Normal lead was soon smothered with 3 "cripple" shots. The Carverites displayed the fastest passing offense but their defense was not quite as tight as that of the Travelers. Yet the visitors seldom tried to get through it,.- being content with long shots.

The class has been following the expedition all fhe school year and has been doini Intensive work on it for the last jthree weeks. They will continue to yat;ch the t r ip through the year. Explorers I n History C oorse. '"•.;•. The history course" for t he fourth grade is t h e study of great explorers and, so this studying of Byrd's trip falls right in line with the subject. • The class first started work by bringing clippings from magazines and newspapers on the subject so that all-the children were fully acquainted with the details. As they knew more about the trip they became njore interested and soon asked questions which brought other subje cts into the discussion. Science is brought in through the studying of the difference in seasons between the antarctic and here and English through the giving of the assembly. Geography has its place through the location of districts on maps and the different zones. Bulletin Board Kept. With the material they have gathered they made a scrap book and are keeping up a bulletin board The children themselves are looking after the bulletin board and the scrap book. They have several books one of them being Commander Byrd's "Skyward," which they are reading for more material. An interesting experiment worked out by t he class was in the form of a practical test. They were asked ;Why such an expedition was taken; what would be the different outcomes, and what would they have ,to do in preparation, The children put down the reasons they thought and then compared them with different clippings. As a general principle practically all t h e reasons coincided. Assembly Program Illustrated The program this ' morning was made up of talks given by several of the students chosen by t he class. Each boy and girl has made a poster Illustrating some phase of t he antarctic; as t h e dog teams or the boats. These posters were the basis of the different talks and helped the school.to understand the work that has been done. The whole unit has stressed the •adventure of exploration. Children love adventure and for that reason perhaps, they have enjoyed the study even more t h a n if they had only the facts with which to work. —: O— — M|SS SPERRY ILL Miss M. Belle Sperry has been confined to her home on account of illness for several days. ; Qf gt; Vocalist Pleases in Assembly Program Si®3 Mft MISS DRUSE RETURNS FROM A FGUR MONTHS VACATION IN MID-WEST Miss Marie C. Druses recently returned from a four months vacation in the East and Mid-west, where she has been visiting art and normal schools, and picking up artistic pieces for herself and t he local Art department of which she is the chairman. A great deal of her time was spent in Chicago where she visited the Art Institute, the famous Chicago Museum of Art, and an interesting' demonstration of work in home furnishing. Buys French Pottery Among the art objects brought back by Miss Druse are pieces of pottery, Egyptian and Indian textiles, cretonnes, and quite a valuable collection of modernistic illustrations which are the work of a young French artist. Miss Druse reports "a very wonderful vacation", and saw several former students of the school . a t various places during her journey. During her travels she visited fiends and relatives, stopping with friends in Yakima on her way back for' the Christmas holidays.- — o — r A musical entertainment was of-feired by Miss Florence Beeler, mezzo-contralto, in last Tuesday's assembly. She sang several selections among which "L'Esclave", by Lalo; "Dreamin' Time", by Strickland, and, "Attainment", by McGee, found special favor. Not only the extraordinary quality of Miss Beel-er's voice, but her charming poise won much approval from her audience. . Sweaters Awarded President Fisher awarded sweaters to twelve of t he football men for their work on the team, last fall. Those receiving sweaters were: Erickson, Cole, •Stickney, Shelton, Brunstad, Blankenship, Priem, Miller, Cardwell, Worshem, Mollan and Tverson. W M . CONSTITUTION President Ruth Sammons Was in Charge of Meeting and Brought up the Suggested Revision. Constituional changes were decided at a meeting of the Women's Athletic association, Wednesday afternoon January 16. President Ruth Sammons was in charge of the meeting and brought the different suggested changes before the girls of the club. After a general discussion of the changes as a whole, each measure was voted on. The following changes were passed: that membership to the club could be obtained by application; one may retain membership by making 50 points a quarter instead of 100; and t h a t the W. A: A. insignia be given for 100 points, rather than 200. Still another change was made and passed in manager's points. A manager shall get 50 points for completion of her duty and may turn out for her sport except basketball. Basketbr.ll managers shall not turn out but shall be allowed 100 additional points. All sportr managers shall belong to t he council and shall attend council meetings. The dues were changed to on: dollar a year, or 50 cents a quarter. The proposed change that a care", or certificate be given rather than a sport numeral for making first team was vetoed. Several suggested changes have been left for discussion. The constitution committee which made up t he suggested changes was- Miss Mildred Jewell, Miss Ruth Wey-thman, Miss Margery Horton, Grace Hess,-Katherine Zeran, Ruth Jamison and Adriana Vander Griend. Londoners made 3,8999,000,000 passenger journeys in 1928 .on railways, tramways and busses, an average per inhabitant of one and a half trips per day.

The loss to some students ranged as high as seven credits. UTILE SYMPHONY W E R T WEI BE HELD ON TUESDAY Normal School Auditorium to be Scene of Performance by Forty- Eight Musicians of True Ability. CONCERT BEGINS AT 8:20 According to the rules, six unex-cused absences from a single class, or fifteen from classes scattered over different courses means a cut of one credit. In our experience, we know of two excuses that will be accepted. One is illness, and the other is death. The average value of an individual's time which he spends in school is well over two hundred dollars a quarter. Since most people carry a load of around fifteen hours, an .hour of school credit is worth fifteen dollars. Consequently, for every lecture hour that the unfortunate student has missed, he is penalized from one to three dollars, whieh seems—well—just a little Jilgh. It doesn't seem to matter to the •committee whether he was using .his stolen time to catch up with his tennis, or was shovelling coal in order to meet the payments on the Tent. And there are we believe, justifiable reasons for missing a class now and then. Wouldn't it be wise, in a democratic institution like ours, for the .faculty to invite student opinion and attempt to make some reasonable adjustments? Perhaps it would be possible to write a little flexibility into what appears new to be an unpopular measure. (And, confidentially, we ''are all for its being done immediately. We have lost title to two of our credits already, and as far as this quarter is concerned, something tells us that we are a marked man). -W. S. N. S. A Well Balanced and Interesting Program Containing Many Gems of Composition has been Arranged "THE FAMILY" TO BE TOPIC DISCUSSED BY FACULTY AT CHURCH If you haven't - seen the recent issue of the Junior Viking, magazine of the training school, borrow a copy from one of the student teachers and browse through it. You will be amazed at the original pieces these small children write when encouraged to create something beautiful. For example, here is a little poem composed by an eight-year-old training school child. THE FOG The fog • •• / throws its flimsy, pretty white drapery over the town. It is pretty, pretty, pretty, So softly it comes, So softly it goes. Over meadow, through forests, All the World over it refreshes. Then the sun comes at last And sends it on its way. — B E T T Y SOLLIBAKKE W. S. N. S.- Normal people should crowd the auditorium next week when the Bellingham Little Symphony., appears in concert, not only to give Harold B. Smith the support his organization deserves but to enjoy a real musical treat. Musicians will tell you that Mr. Smith is developing a remarkably fine concert orchestra, while students who attended the recitals last year will assure you, despite the fact that most of us are undeveloped in music appreciation, that when good music is played as it ought to be played, we can attend en masse and enjoy it. -W. S. N. S. Next Tuesday evening, February 11, at 8:20, will herald the second concert of Bellingham's Little Symphony. The concert will be held in the Normal Auditorium and will be presented by 48. talented and well trained musicians. Nine of this number are Normal students, namely: Charles Bensen, Ethel Boynton, Fay Kelly, Helen Amunds, Beryl Bailey, Paul Anson, Pauline Larkin, Clarence Thue, and Muriel Myhre. The program will open with the famous overture to "Der Freisctiutz", by Weber. It is a highly dramatic work, full of many beautiful melodies. The horn duet in the first part is one of the most famous for this instrument, and will be recognized by many for it has been used as a hymn tune for years. The part of the overture is a vivace movement climaxed by a thrilling coda based on the theme of Agatha's Song of Joy of the opera. Pure Orchestration The second number is Schubert's most famous and best loved Symphony in B Minor called "The Unfinished Symphony". This work, so full of pathos and tenderness, was found in a pile of manuscripts after his death. It represents one possible exception, absolutely the highest level he reached in his very short career. The first movement begins with a mysterious melody in the bass, forshadowing the main theme which is heard on the oboe and clarinet, accompanied by a quivering string figure. The second theme is played first on the cellos then taken up by the violins and developed into a fine climax. With all its perfect melody and the softest and purest orchestration, the movement is full of romatic bursts, as if it were the essence of legendary poetry. The Andante begins more quietly but in the same vein and the second melody, sung by the clarinet and then the oboe, is so simple that one wonders where the charm lies. The secret must be in the accompanying rhythm and the exquisite harmonic changes. Mendelssohn did not write any operas, but his incidental music to "The Midsummer Nights Dream", by Shakespeare, ranks him as a dramatic composer of unusual merit. Three movements from this cycle will be played. The Intermezzo usually played at the end of the second act seems to express the conflict of emotions in Hermia's heart. Toward the end the theme abruptly changes to the semi-comic measures of the Clown's march which is played by the bassoons. The second movement is the Nocturne, whose opening theme is one of the most beautiful of all uses of the French Several of the faculty will be speakers at -the Congregational Church family clinic which was opened yesterday and will meet every Thursday evening, until May 22. Last night's • faculty speaker was W. J. Marquis who, with Frank Al-lyn, spoke on "The Father's Obligation to the Family." Among the others who will speak in the future are Miss Emma Erick-son, Dr. Irving Miller, Mrs. H. C. Philippi, Victor H. Hoppe, Herbert E. Fowler, President C. H. Fisher, and Pelagius Williams. In all of the discussions the topic is the obligation of certain individuals or social groups to the family. — o 54 UPPER DIVISION STUDENTS ORGANIZE Dick Louis Is Elected President; Olson, Young, and Cotland Other Officers Selected Last Tuesday. POPULAR SOPRANO TO APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY ON TUESDAY MORNING (Continued on Page Four) The upper division group including Juniors, and Seniors, met last Tuesday for the purpose of organization. The group has been inactive for some time, due mainly to lack of interest on the part of the students. Same years ago attempt to organize the upper division students was sponsored by Dr. Irving E. Miller, who is faculty advisor to the class, but the group as a whole was not back of the movement and so the project was abandoned. Recently, however, a need has been felt among the Juniors and Seniors for organization, which resulted in the meeting Tuesday, January 4. There are now fifty-four upper division students in school. Dick Louis has been elected president; Grace Olson, vice president; Frances Young, secretary; and Eva Cat-land, representative to the Board of Control. Further plans for organization are now being made. o— STUDENTS DISCUSS INTERESTING TOPIC MAURICE G. HINDUS JV/IATJRICE G. HINDUS is author, orator and traveler, who is qualified as an expert in his discussions of conditions in Russia. Two years ago he toured Russia, traveling on horseback and working with the peasants to learn from them directly'just how they reacted to the revolution, the Soviet government, and America. His lectures are truly prophetic revelations. He visited Russia, Siberia, Japan and China during 1928, and Russia for the sixth time since the Revolution in 1929. Last Sunday evening at the Student Forum the topic discussed was "Are student evaluations of faculty members a fair indication of their value as teachers?" Perhaps the reason this topic came to the minds of the program committee was because of the recent questionaire for evaluating faculty members passed out to students at the University of Washington. The immaturity and prejudice of student judgment was constantly emphasized. The various students expressed themselves as not being willing to accept the opinioins of other students in even a majority of cases. The latter half of the meeting drifted into a discussion of how prospective teachers can conduct themselves so that their personality will have a good effect upon the children they teach.

J U N I O R V I K I N G R E C E I V E S P R A I SE Our rival publication, the Junior Viking, which is published in the Training school, is undoubtedly among the finest graded school publications on the Coast. The mimeographed magazine form in which it was published contains some articles that are really amazing in their literary'style. A few selections .'of poetry written about the fog by the youngsters in the training department actually were runner-ups with Carl Sandburg. Tne_ Northwest Viking wishes at this time to congratulate the editor find .staff .upon editing the Junior Viking in such an admirable and truly professional style. .••.,. Every student here, whether he plans to enter the Training School as a student teacher or not, should borrow a copy of the magazine and look it over.; It is well worth your time. - President C. H. Fisher started something when he read extracts from the book "The Student Speaks Out' to us in an assembly and commented upon it. The reverberations are still being heard. It has affected the faculty in a variety of ways. One remarked to his classes: "That was a wonderful speech our president made in assembly, and I told him so." .Another spends the whole class hour the following day defending the lecture- method. Absolutely hopeless! A third tries out discussion for one day, on entirely new material of which the students know nothing, and then states: "It doesn't work,^ President Fisher to the contrary, notwithstanding". But some who are already using the Discussion Method of Socialized Recitation successfully do it this way. They lecture on new material they are presenting, allowing perhaps the last few minutes for discussion, or taking up the questions as they arise. In the last case it requires more skill to avoid drifting away from the main point. One teacher goes "clear to the back of the room when students are giving special reports, allows them to dominate the situation (if they can) for the time being,-' and takes part with the students in the discussion of the report. But he never loses control of the situation.' It* the discussion gets to drifting onto side issues he brings it back to the point, and when the allotted time is taken, diverts it to the next topic. It can -be done; it is, being done. And one student aptly remarked, "It isn't the amount of material covered in an hour that counts, it is the amount of thinking done". , You have just heard the Viking Pep Band in another of its extremely popular recitals. You have seen it work in. finished unison, have heard, its perfection of blended harmonies and tempos. Perhaps you have; wonderedat the really remarkable progress this group of. musicians has made, in developing-from a mere number of. quite drdinarily gifted instrumentalists to a smoothly- functioning musical unit. Here's the reason: i A portable photograph in the back seat of a car sings with slight scratching noises. Two boys sit in the front seat.* One is radiant of expression, brimming with eagerness to help. The other is only half comprehensive of what is going on, but conscious and a trifle proud of his own patience. "Listen, kid. D'you hear that? Wait, I'll play 't over". He lifts the needle and sets it back to repeat the strain. "See? I bought two-three o' these records t'show you that trumpet stuff. Think you could work it? . It just goes da-da-a-ad' da-dee . . . . " A single light burns steadily in a small second-story room. The boy sitting up in the, small bed there, with a stub pencil in' his hand and pieces of music-scored paper littered about him, lifts his head, frowning in sharp annoyance as the clock downstairs strikes ; twelve. Then, humming a little to regain his place in the music he is writing, he bends again to his work. The pencil makes tiny rasping noises on the book he utilizes as a desk. He pauses in a moment of perplexity and rubs his tired eyes as he murmurs through a snatch of tune. . "Les see—oh yes—m-m-m—ah-h-" The pencil returns to its rasping . . . . . A group of boys, instruments in hand, are scattered about the stage of,the auditorium. There is a confused sound of shouting mingled with the noises of various tunes played on various instruments. A boy is striving to hand around sheets of pencil scored music. "Listen fellows, jus' a minute. Shall we try this once? Oh—where's uh, uh,—he isn't coming? Gee, and I wanted V try that part I wrote for him.". A* shadow crosses his face and for a moment his voice is weighted with tragic disappointment. "Can't depend on anybody!" "Oh, well prob'ly. he can- make it next time. We'll take this other one and . . . . " gt; Now, do you know who is responsible for the. success of the Pep Band? Think hard. —A. E.

Training School OUR L I T T L E S Y M P H O NY Next Tuesday evening, BellinghamYLittle Symphony orchestra will offer their second concert this year in the Normal auditorium. This orchestra belongs more to Normal than to our city (so it seems to u s ) . Although the large part of the membership is composed of city people, the leader belongs to us as well as several of the musicians. The orchestra, we feel, is as much a part of us and our musical program as any other organization within the institution. It has not only advertised our institution in a commercial way but has given us real musical esteem in the eyes of the townspeople. The orchestra has been having some unusually "stiff" practices lately according to the director, Mr. Harold B. Smith, and this coming entertainment promises to be one of the most finished and delightful programs of the five given by the Symphony. Student tickets will admit to the recital, and it is hoped that our own orchestra will have the same attendance as the famous violinist, Efrem Zimbalist obtained at the First Christian church, recently.

The Supers havent had quite as easy a time at it as in former., years,., and., the., play-off promises to be a thriller. NIJORD-NORMAL MEET WILL BE FEBRUARY 24 Swimming turnouts have been good so far this quarter, but several who signed up at the beginning of the season have not been out and since the first meet will be February 24, with the Bellingham Nijord club, everyone is asked to be at the tank for,Thursday night swimming practice. It was a fighting Viking quintet that barely squeezed an extra point out of the scoring melee to win 37- 36, Monday night from Cheney, and then fought their way to a flashy victory, on the following night 43- 28. In a preliminary to the first game at Fairhaven, the Normal Supers dropped a close game to the Anacortes Alumni team 23-24. The contest during the most part of the first half of the first game was only ordinary. The crowd seemed content to sit back and let things take their own course, after having quite a little excitement provided by the preliminary fray. They occasionally showed signs of tenseness, but it is doubtful if anything short of the unusual could have moved them. It was a careful Viking team that was checking close and taking no chances, but patiently waiting for the breaks. It was. a. fast Cheney team that was.playing likewise. A foul by Thorsen, and a field goal by Peterson placed the score at .15-12 just as-the half ended, in favor of, ijhe Bellingham team. The tall red lieam'began sinking! them,, so did the blue, and. the scoredsto£|d::^2-21..; Cheney J^ickly. overtook the lead and then ran it up to 23-29. They began, to stall with five'minutes left. It was a poor stall-and was broken up. Then everybody scored, and the Crimson held a .34-28 .lead. Some more stalling, arid the game became rough. One ";by one, four Cheney players left the contest with four personal fouls, and with these fouls despite the failure of the winners to make a good share of, them, also went victory.

M. C. A. nve, the Normal Super- Varsity definitely eliminated itself from any chance to cop first place in the city league race. The contest, which was played at the Y, February 5, ended with the Hilltoppers on the short end of a 31 to 22 score. Trailing during the opening minutes of play the "Y" spurted, and baskets by McBeath and De Boer gave them a 1 4to 13 lead at half time. The Vikings failed to get going the second half and the "Y" steadily crept ahead to take a lead, which they held until the end of the game: Clint McBeath Jr., was high-point man of the game with twelve markers, while Gaither and Sanders accounted for most of the Vikings' points.

Six points behind, Dixon sank a field goal. Erickson and Rork made free throws, Thorsen dropped in a one-handed toss, Erickson, Dixon, and Rork sank foul shots, and the score was tied. Dixon then sent a swisher through to break the tie, and made it 37-34 with a free throw. Two foul shots for Cheney were made, and everyone left gazing at a 37-36 score posted near the entrance. The three highest -'scorers were: Dixon 12, Pederson 10, and Bard-well 9. Second Game Slow The second contest also started out slow with a two-point Cheney lead.

David Campaex, one of the best known coast pianists, entertained the student body in the Tuesday assembly. Mr. Campbell not only demonstrated his ability as a pianist which lias made him so popular, but also proved that he has won his fame as a lecturer. Gives Short Talks Before playing each composition the artist gave a brief synopsis of the life of the man who composed that particular piece, and a few enlightening remarks about * the composition itself. This method of interspersing his recital with comments added much interest to the selections he played. Mr. Campbell's program, consisting of eleven famed compositions, was balanced, varied, and full of contrast. Beethoven's "Farewell Sonata" was one of the loveliest numbers, the pianist's explanation of the music adding much to the enjoyment of the piece. He explained that the composition consisted of thre movements; farewell, absence, and return. In saying farewell there is a "mixed state of feeling—sorrow at being parted, and the anticipation of return. The second movement is wistful as befits absence, while the third movement, signifying the return, is gay and opens with the coming of the stage coach. Three selections from Chopin were offered including the E Minor waltz, C Minor Etude, and the B Flat Minor Mazurka. The latter was very enthusiastically received. President Discusses Diploma Requirements President G. H. Fisher discussed the new requirements for a teaching diploma and- a life diploma in the regular assembly, January 31. He emphasized the fact that after the spring of this year all entering freshman must have attended this institution for two years plus one quarter of teaching to meet the standards to receive the elementary school diploma for teaching. After the spring of 1931, the requirement will be raised to twe years and two quarters and in 1932, three years will be required to receive a teachers diploma. Discusses Life Diploma ^- To earn a life diploma, teachers must have the number of quarter's work necessary for the elementary diploma at the time of their application for the diploma in addition to the extra 'quarter and twenty four months of teaching required at the present. All applicants must have taught two of the required three years in the State of Washington gt; . o :— "W" CLUB AND W. A. A. ENTERTAIN RIVAL TEAM After the Cheney basketball game last Tuesday night, the "W" club and the "W. A. A. entertained the visiting team in the big gyni. Dancing, with music furnished by the Pep band, was the big diversion, with punch and other refreshment on the side. ' : 6 Methodist Church Is Student Preference Some interesting statistics taken from the files of the Dean of Worn-ens' office show that among the eight hundred students only about one hundred and fifteen showed no church preference when registering. It is probable that some of these did not state preference for other reasons than not having one. 'Methodist Preferred Outside of the fifty-seven men who expressed no preference, the greatest number, forty-five, chose the Methodist denomination while its closest competitors were the Presbyterian and Baptist churches, with twenty-one and fifteen respectively. EDENS HALL . Sunday evening at tea a very interesting program was presented by the girls that live on first floor, corridor South. It consistd of four numbers: a violin solo by Dorothy Legg accompanied by Clara Bubb, a pianologue by Eunice Armstrong, a reading by Jean Hooper, and a vocal duet by Jane' Polachek and Edna Gaulter.

Miss Ruth Weythmann, Miss Margery Horton, Miss Ruth Shumway, Edward Arntzen, and C. C. Upshall •went with the other members of the Mount Baker club on a ski trip up to Mount Shuksari, last week-end. Having spent Saturday night at Shuksan they skied to Bagley creek and through short cuts to t he Meadows. They returned to Bellingham Sunday evening,; having a 17-mile hike behind them. o— WELL KNOWN TRIO SEEN IN ASSEMBLY BOARD AIDS VIKING STAFF PARTY PLANS WITH APPROPRIATION Nominating of Candidates to Fill Coming Vacancies On Board of Control Will Take Place Soon. QUALIFICATIONS STRESSED The Board Receives Money Item As Its Share of Net Profit Gained From Program Editions. Willustra Trio Presents Program of Classical Selections Before Students In Tuesday Assembly. The Willustra Trio which is composed of three Normal school students Ethel Boynton, violin; Pauline Larkin, flute; and Muriel Myhre, piano; was presented in t h e Tuesday assembly. : The trio is well-known in musical circles here and has won considerable fame in concert work and in .^broadcasting over Northwestern radio stations. In their presentation here the girls exhibited that rare musical ability which has caused ' t h em to be so well thought of among those who appreciate the best in music. The program was well-chosen, well-balanced and varied. "Serenade d' Amour," by F. V. Blon-Saenger, and the Dance Suite, by Wilhelm Popp, including "Spanischer Tanz" :(Spanish Dance), "Fruhlingsgruss" lt;Spring Greeting), and "Schorzwald- Blumchen" (Black Forest Flower), were particularly lovely. Two soft and dreamy lullabies, "Wiegenlied" (Cradle Song), by Brahms-Herman, a n d "Slumber Song," from Ersfeld-Ambrosio, were well-liked by the audience. One number, "Sing, Sweet Bird," by Canz-Saenger, demonstrated the trio's ability to work together, and gave Miss Larkin an opportunity to display her talent as a flutist. "Extase" from Ganne-Tobani, "Intermezzo Sinfonica," from "Caval-leria Rusticana", by Mascagni-Wer-ner, and "Serenata," from Macbeth - Saenger, completed the program. The girls received a great deal of applause and responded to an encore with "Pappilon," by W. W. Andreef. HOME MECHANICS AND PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES ADDED TO CURRICULUM After postponing several of their regular meetings, the Board of Control had a regular session last Monday afternoon, in t he Student Association offices. Ray Craft, associate editor of The Viking, appeared before the Board and asked for an appropriation of money for The Viking Staff annual party. I t was approved and his plans are going ahead for the staging of this party, which will be strictly for those affiliated with the publication. Jack Musser, who handled the transportation from here to the Fairhaven gym for the Pep band and spectators during the Cheney and Ellensburg series, sent up his financial report. There was a small profit, which the Board ordered Mr. Musser to turn over to the Pep band for whatever use they may be able to put it to. Stickney Gives Report Another financial report was that of Don Stickney, concerning the issuing of the souvenir programs just previous to the Ellensburg football game last fall quarter. The Board approved of the report, which included an item of $45.25 to be turned over the school as its profit on the souvenirs. The previous agreement was t h a t Stickney turn over 20% of the net profit to the Board. Elections Coming President Summers later announced that Student elections will be held during the early part of next quarter for three offices—that of president, vice-president, and four-quarter representative. Students are urged to keep in mind this election and be seeking candidates to place on the nominated list. There are several regulations and restrictions in regard to the election of Board officers. These may be found under the Point System of page twenty-eight in the Blue Book, and in Section three of the Constitution on page fifty of the Book. Emphasis has been placed on grade standard and on the fact that some of the officers must remain through the Summer quarter and make their term continuous. They must also have been a two-year resident of Bellingham. I n listing the new courses that will be added to t he curriculum for the coming quarter, in the Viking, two entirely new courses were overlooked. A c o u r s e in Home Mechanics by Mr. Paul Rule will be introduced for both men and women taking an uppergrade curriculum. The other course in photography taught by Mr. H. C. Ruck-mick will be a new venture for the spring quarter. It will be of special interest to teachers or those planning to teach industrial arts in the upper or junior high grades. o DOROTHY CRAWFORD TO APPEAR FRIDAY A Group of Character Monologs Will Be Presented In Assembly By Artist of Ability and Charm. Curriculum Construction Principles Studied Here During Fall Quarter New Officers for Spring Quarter Installed at Vanadis Bragi Banquet The annual banquet of the Vanadis Bragi club was held last Friday evening, February 22, at Chuckanut Shell. Contrary to custom members invited guests, and the evening was most enjoyably spent in dining and dancing. * The program was carried off in fine style, with Mary Beth Park-hurst as toastmistress. Edna Goulter and Ruth Hench entertained with two delightful duets, "Down the Trail to Home, Sweet Home," and "Wishing." The speakers of the evening were William Osborne, Minnie Albers, Eva Jordan, Viola Poyhonen, Curtis Bell and Charles Dowell.- A lovely seheme, "The Garden," was utilized in preparing the speeches. The garden, with its flowers, was likened to life with its people. • Curtis Bell officiated at the installation of officers for the coming Spring quarter. Charles Dowell was installed at president. Basil Ames was presented with a sofa pillow in significance of his "soft" position as vice-president. The task of the secretary, Edna Goulter, was enlighted with a book of rhetoric. Due to the absence of. Marjorie Hollis, elected '$ treasurer, Borinibel Moore acted ;j proxy in her place, a ^ i received ja two-by-four bank in which to keep the funds of the club. As sergeant-at- arms, William Kendrick was given the task of maintaining order at meetings of the club. Miss Delia Keeler, active sponsor of Vanadis Bragi, was advised that the students would appreciate any change of text-book from the State Manual. . Dr. Miller, who for the past thirteen years has been, in his own words, "an honorary though not decorative" member of Vanadis Bragi, was quite appreciative of a "stimulus- response" instrument, which he said, would enable him to start on his life-long ambition: that of establishing an experimental psychology laboratory. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Music was furnish by the Whatcom Trio, "the hottest little three-piece orchestra in the city"—and the players did certainly do justice to tiieir name. Members of the club were pleased by the presence of two of the alumni, " Viola Poyhenen, and Cecil Anderson; Miss Emma Erickson, our ever-faithful adviser, was a most charming hostess, and t he Vanadis Bragi banquet proved a'.huge success. gt; Dorothy Crawford, clever young monologist, will entertain in the assembly on next Friday, March 7, with a group of character mono-logs. Her appearance promises to be on the most enjoyable of the quarter's assembly programs. Miss Crawford is said to be an artist of extraordinary ability, originality and charm, and her mono-logs to be portrayals of the very stuff of life. She has, in the past few years, made numerous appearances in Los Angeles, Hollywood, and San Francisco, and her programs have been extremely successful. In her monologs she attempts to portray life, but to portray it so truthfully and so vividly as to bring out the unmistakable humor of it all. She simply chooses situations that occur daily, and presents them on the stage. With her remarkable talent in characterization she seems to actually live through these satu-ations. Some of them are decidedly humorous, some tenderly pathetic, but all tremendously entertaining. A study of the principles of curriculum construction has been made during the fall quarter by t he Bellingham Normal. Many articles have been investigated and principles have been gathered from a variety of sources. Some have been formulated, taken up for discussion, and finally, a subcommittee was appointed to draw up a brief list which might serve as a working basis in t he construction of the curricula for this school. The list was submitted to the entire committee for discussion and as a result the following list has been adopted for guidance: All curricula should be organized on the basis of four years of work beyond graduation from High school, recognizing the need of adjusting specific requirements to certain lower minima as they advance to the full four-year prescription. The students may have the opportunity of exploration and guidance with reference to the choice of teaching as a vocation, and later in the selection of a specific curriculum. Provision should be made early for observa-tio nof schoolroom situations and of characteristics of children, together with some participation in the various activities connected with teaching. Student Excavators Sadly Disillusioned Last week some young excavators or scientists dug up a part of the skeleton of a large animal down by the railroad tracks. This was first thought to be part of a prehistoric mastodon, but the science teachers examined it and decided that it was only the hipbone of a .large dray horse. — ;0 :— Pep Club Entertains Elks Thursday Night The four-year curricula should make possible an education that is liberal in spirit, interpretive of life, and enriching in its social and aesthetic culture. In providing curricula, the distinct fields of service for .which the school is expected to prepare teachers should be recognized. In order that graduates may be able to adapt themselves quickly to current demands, the various curricula should provide for the acquisition of certain definite knowledge of particular subject matters to be covered by the children to be taught, the study of scientific investigations made in the field of common branches that lie at the basis of reconstructions of curriculum and methods, and the development of the ability to use t he specific techniques needed in teaching various subjects. Sequence of subjects should be worked out so t h a t the work of each succeeding year may start from that of the preceding year. And finally, the curricula should be so constructed that any student upon ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 February 28 - Page 2 ---------- IWiiriwI weekly by, S t u J f t»' Aeaudatio* of Stotc Normal School.

This evening marks the beginning of a new custom m the era of the Norma! school. The date for first Women's League Informal, that is truly for all the members of the League (if they were lucky enough to get a ticket), has finally arrived. . . . . . , . This beautiful affair promises to make history among the social events of Normal and we are most sincere in congratulating the officials of the Wontth's League in making all the arrangements that will contribute to ih6 success of this evening. No small details have been left unattended to, and everybody is promised the most delightful time. "The very name is suggestive of an unusually glorious time. "The Night Club," what a world of romance even that name intimates. The new Leopold Crystal ballroom* which has been engaged, has a new feature in the lighting effects that will add greatly to the magical beauty of the night. A reflector of different colored lights plays on the great crystal chandeliers, giving the most fascinating and even mystic appearance during the moonlight waltzes. Can't you imagine that dance;—lovely girls in charming dresses, pastels and smart blacks and whites—soft rhythmical music—the ideal partner—dimmed lights with a pink light playing on crystal drops, now slowly changing to a light blue, only to be reflected by a sparkling brace let or, perhaps, a dainty ear-ring. Isn't everything just ideal for Informal? our m AN OUTRAGE SEATTLE, WiL-^Students in the University of Washington's psychology department will face a "Be detector" machine when they make excuses for absences or failure to prepare lessons on time, in experiments to be conducted soon. Which bears out the conclusion that we reached a short time ago; that the lot of the college student becomes humbler day by day. Now, doubtless, due to our low mentality and inferior code of honor, we are not entitled to any more of the confidence of others, than are morons, murder-suspects, and the like; but, even at that, the system may be carried too far. Let's look ahead and see where this may lead: Scene—The dean's office in some large University. Time—Soon; if this keeps on. The dean is seated at his desk, on a raised dais. Two uniformed and armed guards hold a struggling sophomore before him." Dean—Got his thumbprints? Attendant—Yes; sir. Dean-—Mugged him? Att.—Yes, sir. Dean—Good! has he confessed? Att.—No, sir. Dean—What! Not confessed! Well, he will! ! (to Soph) Come on; confess. You did it; didn't you? •Soph—No sir. Dean (in a rage)—Oh! So you won't admit it! Eh? Take him out, boys, and give him the works! Try the lie detector on him; he can't get away with that sort of thing while I'm dean here! (Exit guards and prisoner.) The dean picks up a college paper and reads aloud to himself: Dean—"Department of education endorses third degree methods." Good, now we shall be able to meet these desperadoes on their own ground. "Student confesses after 14 hours grilling—Senior admits he cut classes!" A-h-h! That's the way to put 'em in their place! Well, I'll show them they can't— (Enter attendant—very excited.) Att.—I'm sorry, sir; I'm afraid you'll be be awfully disappointed, but the finger on the lie detector points unwaveringly to "true." Dean (beside himself)—What's that? Not lying? Impossible!!! Why, that machine has never failed us before! It must be out of order. That Soph is a dangerous character; put him in solitary confinement until we can fix that machine. Why we haven't even another suspect if this one fails us. (exit guard; enter reporter of school paper.) Rep.—Any scoops today, Sir? Dean—No, we've got only one case today, and the suspect won't confess. I shall demand the maximum sentence, however. Rep.—What is he charged with? Dean—Walking on the grass. (Curtain.) TALOHI Freddie Bellingsley and Char-maine Whalley spent last weekend in Mount Vernon where they attended the Fireman's BalL Mr. C. A. Nickols, who has been spending the winter months in California regaining his health, is expected home soon. BARTONS HALL Blanche Utt was called home because of the illness of her mother. Erja Harina was the guest of Jean Dobers at her home in Ana-cortes on Sunday. Mrs. J. Boynton from Issaquah was the guest of Alice Scott Sunday. JUST A N O T H E R SCOTCH STORY / / seems that nights are always dark, This night was like the rest. At night'the "boogey mans"—but hark! I'll get this off my chest. 'Twas such a night—quite dark, I mean. Our hero .ventured out To pay a visit to his queen; You see, he's quite devout. He passed a pleasant hour oh so; Of jokes he was quite spent. And then said he, "I'd better go." And so, of course, he went. Next morning all the newsboys bawl From Bay to Sehome Hill,— "Two Holdup Men Take Ingersoll, And Twenty Dollar Bill"! ! ! Our hero told of how, with ease, They sifted out his jack. And though he cried, "Oh, pretty please!" They wouldn't give it back. He wailed, "Bad mans, please do not tease, That watch was grandpapa's. I'm poor, look at my baggy knees." They laughed with loud guffaws. The public drank this down like tea; But I don't think they should. Because, my friends, I think I see A nigger in the Wood. Of printers Art and Walt, 'tis said, Folks know them wide and far. They'll give you choice of tail or head And flip for a cigar. " Our hero took the printers' dare; Their nickel never fails, And when it lit the head was there; The gallant lad chose tails. He said, when Walt tried to foreclose, "Boys, I'll give you plenty, In just another day or two When I break this twenty." And so the cat jumped from the bag. Folks, listen, near and far,-— Our hero pulled this "holdup" gag To save a dime cigar. o Only one per cent of every twenty persons in the U. S. has a bathtub, acorcding fo Professor Stanley A.

BOTH GAMES CLOSE Closing another basketball season, the Normal Vikings dropped their final two contests to the University of Washington Prosh and the St. Martin's Rangers. The Frosh nosed out the Vikings 40—32, Friday, February 21, in the PavU-libn, while a fighting band of Rangers staved off a Viking rally to win 30 to 27. The following day. The Hilltoppers had defeated both these .teams earlier in the season. Frosh Contest Close I The Frosh contest was nip and tuck, all the way and it was only in the last minutes of play that the Frosh were able to forge ahead. Occie Thorsen was forced to leave the game on acount of a sprained ankle and his absence weakened the Viking defense. After trailing at the half 19 to 18, the Husky Babes, led by McCartney and Anhutz, got going and tossed in enough baskets to lead the Vikings until the game ended. The large Pavilion floor also handicapped the Hilltoppers, who were without the services of "Chuck" Erickson, and were sorely lacking in substitutions. • The Normal scoring was evenly divided, with every man contributing a few points. Vikings Bagged at Lacey The Vikings looked ragged against St. Martins' and scored only one field goal in he first half, while the Rangers led 12 to 5. At the opening of the second period, a barrage of long shots by Weber ran the score up to 22 to 7 for the Rangers. From then on, the Vikings began finding the basket and were soon right behind the Laceyites, however, the game ended with the Vikings still three points behind. ————o Alley Cats Swamp Philo Baskeleers HbOP CHAMPIONSHIP The Outside girls are the undefeated champions of the organization intramural basketball league. The final scheduled game was played last Wednesday when the Philos lost to the Outside girls 14 to 10. The Thespians are close seconds in the race, having lost only one game and winning five, philos are third, winning four out of six; Edens hall girls fourth, having lost and won three games; Thomas Manor fifth, with one game to- its credit; and Collett court sixth. Girls on the championship team are Helen Williams, manager, Ber-nice Johnson, Beatrice Johnson, Margaret Miller, Coressa Skull, Charmaine Whally, Margaret Sater, Vera Waham, and Irene Marz. o— — W.

However, when the Alley Cats are there on the job it seems that the mice won't show up. And that is just what happened last Tuesday when the second of the boys' Intra-mural basketball championship series games was to have been played with the Philo club acting as the mice, in this instance. The Alley Cats had chased the "mice" all over the court last week, to win the first of the series, 44-7, and then, by virtue of the forfeit of last Tuesday, they hung up a big "Alley Cat" sign just below the mythical Intra-muraf bunting. The Philo club won the right to enter the play-off series by winning the first half of the league. They didn't fare so well during the second half, and the Alley Cats led the field of entrants to the tape. And then came the big three-game play-off. The Alley Cats, who by the way, have by uncfer the able tutelage of Sir Ingwald "Butch" Iverson for the past season, ran wild in the first game. They led at the end of the first half by an 18-2 score. Kirk made eight points at the start, while John Hermsen scored two baskets. Then came the second half, and 28 points for the victors. Every time Hermsen got his clutches on the ball it seemed sure to stretch the net, and with his helpful assistance of 20 points in the last half, the then prospective champs rolled the final score up to 44, while the Philos increased theirs to 7. Next came the already mentioned non-arrival of the Philo's and the consequent forfeit going to the Alley Cats, and it was thus that they hung, the "Indian sign" over the doors of the Philo-mathian organization's stronghold. o Thelnterclass swimming meet will be held next Thursday night to decide swimming teams for the quarter. The different races will be made up of the following strokes: Breast, back, crawl, side, free style, and plunge. There will be diving and a relay. Viqueen Lodge, on Sinclair Island, is the true home of the Women's Athletic association, and needs only the work of the girls to make it into a gorgeous Summer and Winter camp. The place has immense possibilities for it is situated on a sandy, smooth beach for swimming and has large grounds for sports and outdoor recreations. The building, as it now stands, is rather unfinished and needs work and repairs, but a couple of all-day trips by the W. A. A. people, with the help of Mr. Dach, will put the place into ideal condition. The first of these trips is planned for March 8, an all-day Saturday trip, and work will be started then in putting up a fireplace and a fence, and working on the grounds around the lodge. Marjorie Coventon, chairman of the lodge committee, will be in charge of the affair. But, to make the lodge dream come true, there must be raised sufficient funds to pay off the yearly debts. Five hundred dollars is needed to make this year's debts' good and so several entertainment stunts and dances have been planned to raise the necessary money for the year's expenses. Viqueen, the lodge name, has rather an interesting beginning. Since the men sport-leaders are called Vi-kings, Vi-queens seemed the natural name to apply to this lodge of the W. A. A. New and Better Lodge Planned Viqueen lodge, if well developed, can be used extensively for weekend trips. There are dishes for twenty people, and the place has been furnished, including a new range installed last year. If the fireplace is put in this year, and the girls work on the grounds and the building itself, there should be vast improvement made. Since the fishing out there is good (if one likes to fish), possibly a small wharf will be installed and, in time, a boat or two will be added to the camp equipment. All these things take time and money, but if the school is behind the lodge and the girls are willing to put in the time, they can surely have a building of which they can be proud, and in which many good times will be had, is the idea the faculty gives. Those members of the faculty who have been at the lodge are decidedly in favor of the project and offer every encouragement in making the camp a big success. Here's to a bet-, ter Viqueen lodge!

TENNIS AND BASEBALL TO LEAD SPRING ATHLETICS Tennis Draws First Victims As Good Weather Brings Ont Many Cold Athletes For All Sports. One robin doesn't signify Spring, the weather man still declines to announce the end of Winter, and as yet we haven't heard of any student pawning the old trusty overcoat for a little ready cash yet* here at Normal, basing the announcement JMI the Athletic season—Spring is here. ''With the good weather of the past few days, tennis drew the first victims. Rackets were quickly dug out of the coffers, new ones were bought, or letters hurriedly written. In fact, the courts have been in constant use from early in the day until the shrouds of darkness have finally made seeing the ball an impossibility. The two major boys' sports have also come into prominence. The last of the basketball togs were hung up on the hooks after Tuesday's Jayvee-Super game. Baseball Looming Royal E. "Pop" Gunn has had,his baseball pitchers loosening up their arms for the past two weeks, and has issued a general baseball call with everyone to get down to business at the start of next week. There have been several of the prospective players out tossing the ball around the field a little bit,-doing warming up work but for the most part the practice has been carried on within the cozy protection of the gym- walls. Gunn In Charge Sam Carver, head coach, will let Gunn tak esole charge of the nine, and will center his attentions on turning out a track squad. Likewise, a small group of track aspirants have been jogging a few laps around the track the past few afternoons, loosening up their muscles so that they won't materially suffer from stiffness when the training gets seriously under way. Definite dates for competition in neither of the two sports have been set, as yet, but will probably be lined up soon. o— Miss Lillian George accompanied by Miss Reese of the library staff took about twenty girls on an all day hike to Lummi last Saturday. The girls were soaked by a rain storm which came up suddenly as they were hiking. However, when they reached the top of Lummi they built a fire and dried themselves while they roasted marshmallows. The bedraggled hikers reached home about 6 o'clock, quite exhausted. GAME FROM SUPERS WITH DECIDED WIN All Arguments Settled As Jayvees Take Measure of Their Higher Brothers In Fairhaven Gym. WIN BY TEN POINTS Meeting last Tuesday night at the Fairhaven "Laundry" for .the sake of washing off all arguments from the three-game series slate, the Jayvees and the Super-varsity went through the suds of the first half about equal, but when it came to the washing machines during the last few minutes of the game, the Junior- Varsity gave their higher-ups a good cleaning. *The final score was 28-18. In a preliminary game to the first Ellensburg contest, the present champions won by a lone point. In the second game the Supers came through with flying colors to win by a 5-point margin. In the third game, Tuesday, it looked as though they were going to repeat their victory of the previous game when they ran up a 9-2 lead during the* first part of the game. They were checking the Jayvees closely during this portion, but then the tide turned and before long the score stood 10 to 9 for the Jayvees. A Super-basket, just before the half time, gave them a one-point lead. Even at Half During the second half the score remained about even for awhile, but toward the last of the fray, the Junior- Varsity piled up a safe lead. ANNUAL FOUL SHOOT CONTEST CONDUCTED The annual foul shooting contest, conducted by the Physical Education department and open to all men of the school, will get under way the first of next week. So far there are about fifty signed up, and many more have intentions of entering. The qualifying round is slated for the first part of the week and the finals will be held later in the week, or during the ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 February 28 - Page 4 ---------- •ittjiaiii iMUm w#$^^ ^0M BY THEATER GUILD Production Written By George S. Kaufmaii, and Was Directed By Lewis:'Fnizee, of Bellihgham. f ^ The Bellingham Theater' Guild iyireserited "Dulcy," a three-act com- 'edy by George S. Kaufman and •itfark Connelly, Tuesday night, in .the auditorium. fTne production was greeted by Lewis :Frazee.; ; The story centered around Dul-cinea Smith, and her husband, Gord o n / T h e scene is laid throughout in the living room of their suburban home. The plot concern's Dulcy's efforts to run her husband's business, !much to his dismay and all those involved. For a-'time it looks as if surely her plans will go awry, and, in fact, they do. But a happy circumstance turns the "dark cloud inside out," as it were, and all ends well. The play was extremely amusing, wit sparkling in every line, and the audience was kept in a gale of laughter the whole evening. Much praise should.go to the cast and the director for their splendid interpretation of this comedy. Marjorie Campbell Walker, in the title role deserves the highest honors. Never was there a woman who had the faculty of saying and doing the wrong things at precisely the wrong time so invariably as does ;Dulcy. Miss Walker was a realistic bulcy, thoroughly Movable and delightful, but withal .-with an extraordinary ability to make people uncomfortable. ; ; Harold L. Hawkins, as Dulcy's husband, Gordon, gave a most convincing delineation of the worried .husband. William Parker, Dulcy's brother,-was ably portrayed-by Kirk -Beard. No one could -have taken the ;part of the insouciant, sarcastic jyoung chap better than Mr. Beard. : Quehtin Rochefort, in the role of the talkative young. advertising engineer was - very good. Vincent Leach, "not. a scenario writer, my dear, but a scenarist," played by Theodore O'Hara added much to the comedy. Herbert Philippi as Schuyler Van' Dyck, the supposed millionaire; was amusing. C. Roger Forbes and Mrs. Forbes, played by Nprnian R. Burchette and Dorothy "taff Burchette, respectively, were excellent characterizations. Vera Kienast in the role of Angela Forbes, the youthful daughter of C. Roger Forbes, was lovely. Last, but not least, as far as ability is concerned, are D. Paul Collins, who enacted the part of Henry, the butler, whom Dulcy has rescued just as he was about to be sent to prison; and Frank Burnet as Blair Petterson, noted lawyer and cousin of Schuyler Van Dych. Both parts were exceptionally well done. —o- EDENS^HALL NEWS The boys who were in charge of the Sunday Night Tea, furnished an interesting* program which everyone enjoyed. Sue McMillan favored with an Impromptu number on the-piano. Don Stickney sang aconipanled by Ruth Wersen. Both of them gave several encores which were very fine. Olive Goldman was ill all last week. All were glad; to see her down at tea Sunday /evening as that was her first appearance downstairs since she has been ill. Miss Florence Johnson .was called to Portland last Thursday as. her mother was tqj h^ve an • operation!'
