ROGERS WAS USING THE CHICAGO-NAVY GAME AS AN ILLUSTRATION, IN WHICH 125,- 000 PEOPLE WERE SPECTATORS IN THE SOLDIER FIELD BOWL. "I PROPOSE," HE SAID, "THAT THEY KEEP THE NAVY PLAYING EVERY SATURDAY THE YEAR 'ROUND AND BUY THEIR OWN BATTLESHIPS. THAT SAME DAY 75,000 OTHERS IN CHICAGO WERE WATCHING D O Z E N S OF HIGH SCHOOLS AND NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY SETTLE GRID DISPUTES. Twenty-two per cent of Belling- ~ham Normal's enrollment for this quarter are men. This figure, -which means approximately 200 male students, runs along very '. close to figures compiled during t h e last five years. Only a handful of men were on the campus during the years of the war. But since the last decade a much larger increase is noticeable, and even a greater .proportion than the annual enrolment could show. Why? More and more men are looking into educational fields and simultaneously there is also a large demand for this grouping in grammar schools, junior colleges, and special work, such as coaching or manual training instructing. A very large per cent are from state and county points, while a similar number are resident in Bellingham. These of the latter are primarily interested in a liberal education with the purpose of continuing in higher schools of education, and to further continue in some professional line. So much for that. This Week W. S. C. is beginning construction of a $150,000 field house. This proposal which began a year ago will soon be a reality and a valuable supplement to Rogers Field, the renowned Cougar playground. University of Washington just got through with a political rally. After a real rocket parade at night hundreds of the school's Republican students heard speeches by Governor Hartley, Judge Kenneth Macintosh, R. A. Nellos, former Play Is a Study in Modern Day American Social Life and Is a Charming and Humorous Study. governor of North Dakota, and I Congressman John F. Miller.

Seventy-two votes will be cast. .In four more days several students will walk to the polls. Possibly more than seventy-two votes will be cast by these students of voting age. Voting in a national and state election will be new to the majority of these students. Yet with the background of social and governmental sciences the decisions and acts of this voter will be easier; and the vote cast will doubtless carry more weight than that of any previous decade. ."Vote!—as you please—but vote!" is the timely slogan of the Kiwanis International. A great mistake Was made at ihe beginning of this school term. i Among four foreign languages, the Swedish tongue was added to the 'curriculum of a local, high school. i:Perhaps we on the Hill toquldin a ^ few-months :be on an equal basis ^hdd%Su)edishi. been inaugurated at The First Circuit Repertory Company of the Moroni Olsen players, will open its sixth season here next Monday evening, November 5, presenting Rachel Crothers' brilliant contemporary American satire, "Expressing Willie" in the Normal auditorium. "Expressing Willie" is a charmingly humorous and witty study of a very common phenomenon in American social life today—the successful and intelligent business man who has devoted his talents and energies to aciheving success and, after the struggle begins to relax, begins groping to reach out for a cultural life of a type that he has passed by in the earlier stages of his career. Willie Smith Is Here Willie Smith, the hero of this play, is surrounded by the typical group of sycophants with their varied aims of his money or position or what his influence can achieve for them and who convince him that they have the magic understanding that will open for him the broader life that he fears he has missed in his struggle for material success. In the end however, the longheaded contriving of his mother— who incidentally was . responsible for his business success—opens Willie's eyes to the sham under which his new friends pursue their epr-sonal motives and Willie begins expressing himself joyously and vigorously and according to his own talents and impulses. Byron Kay Foulger, who directed the company's presentation of "Anna Christie" last season, will direct the- production of "Expressing Willie." o : KATHRYN MEISLE DELIGHTS AUDIENCE JANET YOUNG Of the Circuit Repertory Company or the , Moroni Olsen Players, appearing here ; soon in Rachel Crothers' brilliant ; American comedy, "Expressing Willie."; I INFORMAL Ti Nationally Known Artist Is Well Received by Bellingham People. Miss Kathryn Meisle, leading contralto of the Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles .Opera Companies, pleased the Bellingham audience with a striking vocal program ot the First Christian Church Auditorium last evening, November 1. Miss Meisle, who was' presented by the Bellingham State Normal School and Bellingham Woman's Music Club, sang several numbers by Schubert, Rachmaninoff and other well known classical composers. Her interpretation of "Ah Mon Fils" from "Le Prophete" by Meye-beer, was especially pleasing to her hearers. She was accompanied at the Baldwin by Mr. Myron Jacob-son. Miss Meisle made her first professional debut with the Minneapolis Orchestra, under Emil Oberhof-fer in October, 1921. In November, 1923, she was engaged to sing the leading role in the Chicago Civic Opera Company. ti Some of the orchestras who have engaged the talented contralto are: The , New York Symphony, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati and Boston. Miss Nora B. Cummins, Miss Delia Keeler and Mrs.- Victor Hoppe entertained with;.a tea and reception in honor of Mr. and iMrs." E. J. Klemme, Sunday afternoon at Miss . Cummins' home. Intimate friends of the Klemme's were the guests: .'• ; :-'^' )•,•'-——-—-r°-—r~~~\' ••:•"'•'". .'/••• A dollar will go as far as it iised tbj but;'; it! will go much^ faster^ : -;;,;;y: Programs '-to be Given Today Upon Presentation of Dance Receipt; Indian Summer Is Dance Motif. Edens Hall will be aglow and bustling with activity tomorrow night when the outside girls enter the portals at eight-thirty for their informal dance of the season. The scheme of the dance is Indian summer and . t he programs, music and decorations all carry out this motif. Miss Ouida Davidson, chairman of the decoration committee, has made plans for a most charming and unusual setting, and with the aid of her self-appointed committee is engaged in carrying out the idea. The programs will be given out to the girls oday noon, from 12 until four o'clock on the presentation of the receipts given them upon the payment of the -fee entitling them to go. This informal is under the direction of Miss Catherine Morse, the social chairman of the Women's League and will probably be one of the most interesting ones-yet sponsored by that organization. Over a hundred girls have signed to go and there are quite a number on the waiting list in case any of the other girls drop out. o Thomas Manor Takes This Year's Pennant In the opinion of the committee in charge of Home Coming consisting of both faculty and students, Thomas Manor was judged as hav-' ing the prize winning house decoration. Edward's Hall and Collett's Hall were close runner-ups for first place, but lacked the tinge of originality of the Manor's idea. The credit for the idea of the occupants of the Igloo was given ' to Joyce Arnold, who thought up the idea and put it into action with/the able help of Zeke McClurken The Campus as a whole looked extremely well, and the committee expresses appreciation to all the students who helped to make it so. o KREISLER IS HEARD Athletics will receive $2.50 from each $6 student activities ticket sold, according to the decision of the board of control, in regular meeting which took place Monday afternoon: At - this meeting the quarterly apportionment of funds took place, with . athletics getting the largest single cut of money. Close on the heels of brawn comes brain, with culture, represented by lectures and musical artist courses being allotted $2.25. Social life of the school is provided for by the 75 cent appropriation for the quarter, while the remaining 50 cents of the'$6 is placed in the Northwest Viking fund. Debate Squad Appeals The request of members of the debate squad that 15 cents from each student activities ticket be set aside for the expenses of this activity was denied for this quarter, and a committee was appointed to investigate conditions concerning debate to ascertain if the appropriation of money for the activity is feasible. According to the statement made to the board by the debaters, with the appropriation of enough money, such as the request asked, several intercollegiate debates could be arranged for both men and women teams, at home and away from home. With the request for money the debaters also asked that a special^ manager be appointed. In appointing the committee, which is composed of Eldred Bech-tel and Jean Marquis, the board stated that there is no possibility of debate receiving any financial aid this .quarter. A manager will be appointed by the board if money is appropriated in the future. W. A. A. Requests Change , The request of the W. A. A. that the sweater award rule for girls be changed so that a girl may earn a sweater after serving on seven first teams instead of eight first teams as is now required, was referred to B, special committee headed by Jean Marquis. The. request based its vajidity upon the assertion that because of the two-year length of the school term, it is highly difficult for girls to play on eight teams. Thespian Initiation to be Weird Affair Says Mock, Chairman Twenty faculty members and several students motored to Vancouver to hear Fritz Kreisler oh Monday. Kreisler is the leading violinist of the age and tickets for the performance were sold out for three days before the appearance. Ev.en standing room was not available and hundreds of people were turned away. Kreisler was wonderfully gracious and responded to the applause with three encores." Those who availed themselves of this rare opportunity were: Pres. and Mrs. C. H. Fisher Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Ruckmick, Mrs. Mae Lovegren, Misses Fannie Ragland, Emma Erickson, Grace Moore, Mary E. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 November 2 - Page 2 ---------- §PuSlishedrweekly by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham,, Wash, ^iEBtered^in thi Postoffice at Bellingham, Washington, as second class matter.

This apportionment was decided upon after due consideration of the needs of each activity. We are sure the decision was a wise one. However it might be interesting to know that at this same meeting a mere 15 cents was refused the poor little unassuming debate squad, which is sorely in need of funds as well as encouragement to carry on its unrecognized efforts. That 15 cents would go far in making inter-collegiate debate possible, and in giving a worth-while activity a strong foothold in our institution. LET'S SHOW OUR APPRECIATION Next Wednesday evening Louis Graveure, world famous tenor, will be at the First Christian Church for a concert which is second of the series on the Musical ArtistsCourse. Do students ever stop to consider what a peculiar privilege is theirs in having anopportunity such as this? Not alone are the master musicians of the world engaged for their pleasure, but in addition it is their privilege to listen to lectures of moment on the most interesting subjects, by men best qualified to deliver them. A feature of these concerts and lectures particularly appreciated by most of us, is that they are free to students. At no other school in the state do students have such a chance as this to enjoy the art of the best musicians and lecturers on the public platform. . It is a well-known fact that humanity generally cares but little for #what can be easily obtained—accepts with indifference the goods that the gods provide, but let us prove an exception to this rule and receive with eagerness and appreciation the artistic treats offered to us* KEEP OFF T H E GRASS. Even the U. S. Mail must pause and consider if it may enroach on the precious greensward of our sacred campus. President or freshman, mail carrier or visitors, all must obey the edict of our autocratic gardeners and KEEP OFF THE. CAMPUS! The theory is that walks were made to walk on and grass was not; therefore our hay must be allowed to grow unmolested. Dear Ma "Is this 4452?" "Yeh." "I wanta speak to Peter Pebble." "This is him speakin'." "Well, this is Beck." "Who?" "I say this is Beck, Eldred Bech-tel, the fat boy." "Oh,'sure, I know, you're the campus lady killer. What do ya want?" "Well say, Pete old boy, I'm in an awful fix. One of my harem wants a date for the big Homecoming v dance tonight, and I've already got a date. Will you take her?" . "Well I dunno. What's she like?" »;: "Oh, gosh, Pete, you ought to -know that I wouldn't pick out none but the best for you. Boy, she's a wow, and how." "What's her name?" "Oh, Pete, what difference does that make? You just be by the mailbox across from Baughman's at 8 o'clock and she'll be there to vmeet you." * * * * Well Ma, maybe I shouldn't have accepted this blind date, but really you can't blame me, now can ya? This here girl with the busted beak ^ h a t I been tellin' you about has % been botherin' me somethin' terrible lately and I figured taken this here blind date would let me get ont of her clutches for one night anyhow.

This person that dished out appointments to the photographer downtown for Saturday afternoon should be placed upon a pedestal so that all may see and praise him or her. Let your applesauce be loud and voluptuous for this staff correspondent who expects us to keep appointments for the photographer and root for our alma mater at the same time that a Homecoming game is in session. Hello! Back again like nobody's play-mate. - \ 'Ckeck Your Buying' HALF PAST DUSK To th'e east a dark veil, mystic, intriguing—suddenly pierced by a passing snag of color that breaks away, there grows to varying shapes, a flare of light—first as an "eyebrow ,then a half disk—ever and ever growing larger and rounder— finally emerging a 'circle of flame red to contrast the bluish purple foreground—Now there comes to view the silhouette of a lone snag, twisted and gnarled—a ..mountain pine, tall and perfectly formed—a star blinks forth suddenly—a flimsy cloud drifts to challenge' the intruder moon for breaking into the quiet realm of the east—dark veiled \ mystic' intriguing.

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

A Touchdown Made Early in First Quarter. GOOD CjROWD ATTENDS Vikings Come Back in Last Quarter But Lack Scoring Punch in the Critical Moments. Last week-end the Cheney Savages dropped in on t he home of the Vikings to pay their annual grid respects. They stayed over night and long enough the next day to carry home with them nearly everything that the Vikings had, and in particular, the annual homecoming football game. Yes, once again the Vikings came off Hhe field of honor with a defeat chalked up against them. This time the score was not so large as those of previous games this season, but large enough to bring about a defeat for Bellingham. Cheney Scores The Savages scored in the first period of play after the Viking attack- had forced the visitors deep into defensive territory where they held their opponents to downs and then came back with a vicious attack that swept the locals backward beyond their own goal Cheney failed to convert the t ry for point and the score stood Cheney 6-Bellingham 0. The" quarter ended without either team making any material gains. The second quarter ran along quietly enough until Weber, Viking back, took one of Odell's passes for a long gain, but was' stopped before he could reach the Cheney goal. At the end. of the half the score was unchanged, and two tired and worn teams left the field for a few minutes rest before the ' second half started. Erickson Looks Good On the opening kick-off of the second half the spectators were given a real thrill when Erickson took Cheney's kick from his own twenty-yard line down through the center of the field to the Cheney fifteen-yard line before he was stopped by the Savage safety man. It looked like a sure score for Bellingham for a few seconds. The fourth period was a hard period of play in which the Vikings had the ball most of the time. The locals had the visitors out-played all during the last half and from all indications should have- pushed over a score but the Cheney defense proved impregnable at the most critical periods of play and stopped the Vikings three times inside their own three-yard line. The Vikings played " a glorious game and deserve real credit for their showing. Weber and Erickson played a bang-up game of football and Williams' work in backing up the line during the second half was indeed commendable. Anderson's work at end was outstanding for the Vikings. First Turnout Held in Preparation tor Basketball Season Basketball season at the Normal is now getting under way^ Monday night saw the initial turnout of the prospective hoopsters for the 1928- 29 season. As yet very little can be said in regard to the material, but it is hopped that at the close of the present football season will add materially to the squad; since none of the football men are turning out until after the grid season closes. SEVEN CLOG DANCES MASTERED BY CLASS It seems that the Folk Dancing and Clogging class is lacking in enthusiasm when but three new girls have joined. The girls who are turning out now are very persevering and they have learned seven clogs. These are: Dixie, Yankee Doodle, Hay Foot, Straw Foot, Swanee, Kentucky Home and Listen to t he Mocking Bird. Besides these clogs, several folk dances have been learned. Miss Dozier wishes to announce that visitors are welcome to any turnout of this group, which meets Mondays and Wednesdays at four o'clock. -—o CHAS. "Chuck" ERICKSON o FOOTBALL PROGRAMS ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECEIVED Loud cheering and a wave of congratulations' greeted the announcement at the Homecoming dance last Saturday, that Elton Korsboen, Normal track star, had -won the one hundred dollar prize offered by Spike Nash Motor Co. on a Nash '400' any model. The prize was given to the holder of the lucky number in the Football program. Each program was numbered and the drawing was made at the game by Henry Durr. announcer.

Observations From a Daycoach Seat; A Writer's Version of Ellensburg Trip KARL W E B ER fleet of small row boats tied together. A couple fish traps. Some gill net fishermen hauling in their nets. And the pinochle game goes blissfully on. Mr. Carver has dropped out of the game. He won too many times and thought he was too good for his lesser adversaries. The editor says we had better stop, it is press time. So we will see you all next week, and give you some more dope and lowdown on the trip. -o Golfer: "Doctor, you remember you recommended golf to take my mind off my work?" Doctor: "Yes." Golfer: "Well, can you prescribe something now to get it back ai gt;-ain?" ' by BEN HAMILTON This is not necessarily humorous, but is an account of commonplace things as the reporter saw them on the Ellensburg football trip. Here they come, by ones, twos and threes, Manager Hunnicutt calling off their names and checking them off the list as he passes out the transportation and expense money. Everybody here but Odell. The train comes whistling around the bend. Then to a roaring, grinding stop. Odell reaches the platform just as t he train comes to a stop. All aboard. The bell rings and we are off for the other side of t he mountains. We pass out of the station, creep past Bellingham's water front, and are soon roaring along the beautiful Chuckanut. Pinochle Popular- Odell, Jewell and Carver are settled down to a quiet little game of pinochle. Others busy themselves by looking out of the window or in reading up on history or t h e like. Weber beats me to the window side of the seat, so I sit and watch the pinochle game. Carver wins! What is this! We are stopping. Woods to the right and woods to left of us. A long sidetrack comes into view. Presently it is occupied by another train bound back to where we are from. Just a stop in the wilds between Blanchard and Burlington. Burlington next. Weber gets off to see if the home town is still on the map. I appropriate his seat next the window. Gunn Causes Commotion Burlington passes from the picture. Comes Mount Vernon next. Gunn boards the train. Commotion among the fellows, caused by t he new arrival. Mount Vernon goes behind. We now turn our attention to the outside of the car. Green fields flash by. A farmer speeding to market in his Tin Lizzie. Graceful bovine flappers quietly taking their midday rest. A young heifer gamboling on the green. A yelping canine of doubtful origin, giving chase to the train. A king of bovinedom standing disconsolatly in the corner of a fence, chewing at his cud. A ditch full of water and lined with swamp-grass and cat-tails. A station flashes past. I t must be Marysville. (Page Mr. Erickson). We cross over a muddy stream. Several of them. Dirty, smelly tide-flats are very much in evidence. Some optimistic fisherman trolling in the muddy water. Erickson Arrives at Last Dirty, dusty sawmills and box factories" heave into sight. A casket factory looms on the horizon and passes into the distance. Smudgy tramp lumber ships tiedvto grimy wharves Then a long line of box cars shutting off the marine view. We pull into the station at Everett. Our prodigal Chuck Erickson, sometimes known as Leif the Lucky, boarded the t r a in at this station of the Smoky city. Everett passes from the picture and again the waterfront and marine view take the stage. A large freighter headed northward, riding high in t h e water. A flock of ducks hurriedly leave the water. Sea gulls following along the shoreline. A The HOME STORE 1312-14 Bay Street A.
