Perhaps the new school song will appear in time to be christened by the Men's Glee club Now that sixt y dollars is in the field, it is no wonder that a few more have joined t h e several who are beginning to mould the needed composition. There is still plenty of time to begin. See the Viking of January 4th for rules. A big college back East i s offering only $25.00 for a new school song. ——W. S. N. S. - College education was once cheap, but those days are., gone., forever. Fifteen years ago, daring the prewar days, a student could live in hurary with $1.75.. according., to statistics compoled daring the war... •i Those were the days when a student1 could swagger into., a., lunch wagon near the campus and partake of a small steak for the sum of five cents, and finish his meal with' a dish of ice cream at three, cents a throw. If a student felt flush, he., could order a porterhouse for twenty cts., and on Sunday he could have roast chicken for a quarter and chicken a la king, for one dime. W. S. N. S. Seattle, Wash—Something new in t h e way of campus committees has recently appeared on the University of Washington campus. Criticism committee and unanimous faculty support of the' movement has been voiced by President M. Lyle Spencer. "Our faculty is tremendously serious in its desire to learn the wishes and needs of the students/' he pointed out, "and there isn't a member on the entire faculty who will not be glad for honest opin- .ions from students on what they think are the needs of our curriculum." ' —'- W. S. N. S.. Featuring • in the coming assemblies for the week, Miss Virginia Strong, twenty-yearrold Seattle soprano, will offer, a varied program on Friday, the 25th. Miss Strong's training, so far, has been directed by her mother, a former member of the State College at Pullman, and also on the. faculty of the Cornish School of Music. Miss Strong is a sister of Viviion Strongheart who made her debut at the Aoelian Hall and is now singing in New York. She has sung here before having appeared here in the Spring of '27. She has a striking personality and holds her audience well. Separate Assemblies Tuesday The Men's Club will meet and dis cuss ideas for the Men's Club Informal on Tuesday and the Women's League will be addressed by Mrs. Dwight Smith. N. D. Showalter, State' Superintendent Elect, Introduced Measures Which Were Endorsed. TENOR IS TO L Arthur Johnson Creates Usual Enthusiasic Response; Presents AH American Program. Arthur Johnson, who presented an all-American program in his recital in last Tuesday morning's assembly, was accorded the enthusiastic reception that he is always able to command in this school. The program that Mr. Johnson presented was divided into three groups: the first consisted of three numbers of the older, more conservative American music; Negro spirituals comprised the' second group; and the third was made up of four more modernistic selections. Familian Numbers "Thy Beaming Eyes" by Edward MacDowell was probably the loveliest of Mr. Johnson's first group. Although this number is fairly well known, the artist's interpretation of it was extraordinarily beautiful. The other two numbers of this group were unusual settings of the familiar poems, "Thou Art So Like a Flower" by Heine and Browning's "The Year's at the Spring." Negro spirituals are always mov- (Continued on Page Four) o ABSENCE COMMITTEE MEETS JANUARY 15 Some Students Lose Their Credits; Vacant Assembly Seats Cause.

According to the rules, a deduction in credits is made for unexcused absences. There have been about sixty students reported to the committee who might be subject to a cut. Some'failed in subjects so that no deduction in credit can be made. A list of students who are subject to a cut in credits was posted on the bulletin board, affording them an opportunity to meet with the committee. A number did appear and some errors were 'corrected. Under the rules, students absent six times are cut one credit in that class or if they are absent a total of fifteen times in all classes are given a general reduction of, one credit, not specifying any particular course. About twenty students received these penalties. The attendance committee made no attempt to meet before the grades were given out, since the fall report of absences was not available:-. A number of these cuts were made because of .unexcused absences from assembly. • / The absence committee w.ishes to impress upon the students the tie-, cessity of occupying the seats assigned in assembly as it seems quite likely a Clumber of them received cuts' for :absences simply because they^ were . n o t ; ^ ;sea^Sib^ ijfeliroomi TAX CHANGES SUGGESTED MissFgrimeRagland to Leave in January New Plan for School Administration Brought Up; Amendment is Minor Measure. Miss Delia L. Keeler represented the Faculty Forum of the Belling-ham State Normal school at the regional meeting of the Washington Educational Association in Seattle, Saturday, January 12. At this meeting N. D. Showalter, state superintendent elect, introduced a number of measures which were, indorsed and are to be presented to the state legislature. The school finance measure provides for elementary and high school funds to be raised by a state wide tax of twenty-five cents; a county tax of ten cents for elementary schools fifteen cents for junior high schools, and twenty.cents for high schools; the district is to raise the remainder of the tax. This would place fifty per cent of the school support on the state, twenty-five per cent on the county, and twenty- five per cent on the district. The state tax would be raised three and one half mills, and the county tax on the average of one mill by this measure. The maximum school tax would be reduced from twenty to fifteen mills. Administration Measure The school administration measure provides for a county board of education composed of five members. The county,.superintendent elected by the board will have more authority and duties similar to the superintendent of city school systems. The minor measure provides for an amendment to the constitution omitting the election of the state superintendent and providing for a state board of education, one of their duties being to select a state superintendent. The whole plan places more responsibility on the state officers, as well as securing greater support from the state. Fowler Eected New President Faculty Forum Herbert E. Fowler was elected president of the Faculty Forum, succeding Miss Emma S. Erickson, at the meeting held Tuesday, January 15. Other officers elected were: Miss Jessie H. Merchant, secretary-treasurer; Miss Emma S. Erickson, delegate to the legislative assembly of the Washington Educational Association; and Miss Mary E. Rich, member of executive committee. Miss Delia L Keeler, who represented the Faculty Forum at the regional meeting of the Washington Educational Association held in Seattle, Saturday, January 12, gave a report" of the proceedings of the meeting. Bible Institute to Hold Meeting Today Mrs. J. Addison Campbell will speak this afternoon at four o'clock in room 208 at the meeting of the Bible Institute/ which is celebrating its twentieth anniversary This evening ,at 7:30, in room 208, Dr. Georgia B. Sattler will lecture oh. "Internal, arid External Evidence of the Bible." Tomorrow, the meeting will be held at Lake Whatcom, at "The Firs". This will be the main event to celebrate, the twentieth anniversary of the Institute. . • I t is earnestly hoped that stiir dents will turn put for1 these meetings since they will prove to be very worth ;while. gt;;.^ ;*: Sunday afternoon at 3:0Q o'clock both Dr. ;Sattler. and Mrs.; Cairip-bell will lectured This wUlY:^ Fannie Ragland The members of tlie faculty and student body regret to hear that Miss Fannie Ragland is leaving at the end of January to accept a position in Cincinnati Ohio, as assisant superin- BOARD DF CONTROL ELECTION HELD IN TODAY'S tendent of schools, in charge of upper grades. Miss Ragland has been supervisor of the city school student teachers in the upper grade. curriculum for the past three and half years. Previous to coming here she had been co-operating teacher in the Cincin-ati schools having supervision of the fifth year students of the University of Cincinnati, who teach one half of the time in the public schools. She is a graduate o fthe Miami University, Oxford, Ohio; and received her master's degree from Columbia University. Ohio being her home state, Miss Ragland has many acquaintances and friends to welcome her return, home. Cincinnati is situated on the Ohio River. According to Miss Ragland, the surrounding country, while not treeless and not without hills, like most places possesses its own peculiar charm, yet the West with its mountain peaks, lakes and forests beside the waters of Puget Sound has an irresistible charm to most people who come to BeUingham. t "I have had many thrills and interesting experiences out here in the West," she stated. "Seeing pussy( willows «blooming in December, roses on the table at Christmas time, and crocuses during the last days of January are things I shall never forget. This made it very hard for me to make a decision." Miss Ragland has done an outstanding piece of work in her connection with the upper grade student teachers in - t h e city and her leaving is regretted very much. Her place will be taken by Miss Elsie Wendling from Columbia University. o Luncheon Given to Nurse Specialist Dr. Mary Dabney Davis, nursery, kindergarten and primary specialist for the Bureau of Education in Washington, D.

V JOHN D O E A T T E N D S NORMAL John Doe came to Bellingham Normal for athletics. Of course he thought that perhaps incidentally he would acquire some education, knowledge that might some day be drawn upon should the occasion arise which demanded such extreme effort; but primarily he had come to participate athletically as well as socially. John registered for the subjects offered, because they were required, rather than for any particular desire to digest their contents. He expended a minimum of effort on his assignments, but being endowed with a mental ability which rated an intelligence quotient of " A " , he was able to survive the examinations and receive average grades. Things went along smoothly and pleasantly for some time! During his( second year he was required to take several courses in Education. Much to his surprise his grades began to jump up a bit. Almost without a realization" of the fact he was actually becoming interested to a certain degree, and was beginning to think, of course not very deeply, but we may say he used his mind to a slight extent on rare occasions. Before very long he began to realize the meaning of some of these things that lie hidden elusively beneath this big word "Education". Next he was faced with that almost difficult task of* all questions to 1 answer, ''shall I really journey into the unknown depths of the training school and do my student teaching?" Since John was one of these daring young men who occasionally remark that they will try anything once, he cast his ballot in favor of the three-month training school term, a rash decision, but a noble one. To cut a lengthy story off abruptly, we might say that John Doe actually liked teaching, and since graduation has gone to the top by leaps and bounds. He is now one of our foremost educators; this one time shiftless student who carelessly picked a straw from the straw stack of education, and.found it actually interesting. TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY YEARS : AGO THE HARVARD LIBRARY WAS STARTED WITH 400 BOOKS. AND TODAY THE HARVARD LIBRARY HAS NEARLY; THREE MILLION VOLUMES. THE . ANNUAL AVERAGE INCREASE I S PLACED AT ABOUT 65,000 VOLUMES^ _ W S. N; S. Pullman Wash.—According to the Washington State Evergreen, W. S.. C, an approximate total of 37,000 books per month are read by State college students,:. Of these 37,000, about 14,500 are periodicals, and an equal number., are., special reserve Ibooks assigned by instructors, and the remainder, of 8,000, are books taken from the main desk. Of this number only 93 took away books on general subjects. Literature ranks first in the survey having 79 adherents on the average as against 68 for sociology. Third place goci to history with 59.:. Only nine were moved to read about religion on the day the count was taken. W. S. N. S- — Quadrangles, familiarly called quads, have long been the main building layouts of eastern schools. They have been proven highly efficient, symmetrical, and beautiful. Still they are increasing in popularity, for school after school in the east is ordering the quad. Good examples of such can be found at the University of Chicago,. Yale University just yesterday gave contracts for four of them. Mid-western colleges are pushing their buildings together, bending in their terraces, and moving their out-of-the-way structures toward a common hub. But it has not been until here of late that western institutions have taken cognizance of this square. The College of Puget Sound is aiming at the quad idea in their extensive building program which will run over a period of about twenty-five years. Washington State college has had it for nearly thirty years. And now the University of Washington has seriously considered a quadrangle to be centered around its traditional 'frosh pond." Washington has already., a., good start' with its new Physics building and new library as bulwarks... The proposed missing links will be asked of the 1929 state legislature. Canadian colleges have the foursquare also, especially in' eastern Canada. ~ Several quads are being gradually-built by the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Their campus, winch is very extensive, yet much in the rough .will be one of the structural beauties of the Pacific Coast a few years from now. o We've come to the conclusion that the gardeners had high hopes of profiting by nature when the windstorm blew a tree down on the campus last quarter.—But after waiting in vain for a like accident, they have decided to give up and cut down the others. —. o MflfWVWWVflftfWWWWWVWWrVW^^^W^r^M^^^^ft Wevnotice in tlie last issue of the school paper another attack on the attitude of the students toward assemblies; What is the purpose of the school paper if not for printing such hews of the school as will interest the students? Are our discourtesies toward these visiting artists unknown to .us? Have we not been told of them before and should we riot be aware of them if possessed of even a mediocre intelligence? Certainly! We know them very well for we have seen an average of three student opinions each quarter to remind us Of them. Our attitude tends to change as we grow into the ways of the school and come to realize the purpose of these bi-weekly assemblies Why, then, clutter up. the Viking with a criticise of some deficiency of which -v/e. are very well aware and in no ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 January 19 - Page 3 ---------- Once again the Bangers took the ooant from the hands of the Vikings. If the Vikings don't treat their visitors a little more gentle- •lanly, it will be hard to get anyone to pay them a visit in the fnure. * ' • * * • * . .. It seems that the Rangers jusi came to Bellingham to take a bump on the nose. The same thing happened to them last year, when they were here. * * * * HERE IS MORE POWER TO THE VIKINGS. * * * * , The biggest trouble with this school is that the students are not attending the games. The game last Saturday was a very interesting one to watch. The team merits all the student support that can be mustered. * « * * i . ••*''.. This week the Vikings will meet the Rothchilds Stevedores' quintet from Seattle. This should be a real test of the Viking skill as a hoop team. The Viking teams will need more support or this season will not be a financial success. Last week the gaie receipts weer not even sufficient to reimburse the referee. Things are in a soiry stale when the team-does not get enough support to pay the referee for his services. • $ * * * BIOGRAPHY . They say that McLaughlin is an up-and-comer in the list of hoop prospects. Perhaps it will be well to look into his past for a few minutes and see just how he merits this recognition..:-McLaughlin comes to this instituion from Ballard High, Seattle, where he was chosen as all-city end in football (1927) and all-city guard., in., basketball.. (1928). ''Mac" won his spurs., in., varsity football competition this last football season., on., the Viking squad. Now, Mac is coming to the front and doing his stuff for the Viking basketball squad.. And he looks like a sure winner. * * * * Vanadis Bragi further increased their hold on the cellar position in the intramural race for the bunting. * . * * * The Bragi playing was char-acterizd by a decided lack of team passing and co-operation. Also, there was no great amount of interest shown on the part of the losers. * * * « The Men's club were right up and coming. They won the game from the Bragis by a three to one score. ....If Osborne of the Bragi team will take a tip from us, he would do well to step in a box of resin before going onto the floor to play basketball. * * * * One was reminded of a cat riding the back of a large dog, when Osborne tried to climb the back of Johnny Cathers, star guard for the Men's club. * * * * THAT IS BAD POLICY "OZZY". * * * * / / is suggested that the league purchase non-skid shoes for those who find it difficult to stand-up on the gym floor.

Tony Gritsch ter, but should be able to handle their share of the game. Clark, Thorsen, arid Benson, Viking guards, ^ are all experienced, heady guards and can be expected to give the Rothschild forwards Friday, Jan. 18, at the Whatcom gym, the Vikings will tangle with the fast Rothschild quintet, of Seattle.' Rothschilds, this year, have one of the two best teams in Seattle, so will give the Vikings plenty of opposition. The Rothschild team is composed, entirely of former U. of W. lettermen numbering among them Alfie James, who last year was picked as All Coast guard. Playing the other guard position will be Johnny Dalquist. At center is ' posted Antoncich, picked by- experts as the peer of the Northwest centers. Gritch and Peek complete the visiting line-up. The Vikings are traveling at a fast pace as was demonstrated last week against St. Martin's. Alfie McClurken, McLaughlin "and Odell form an exper-iencd, shifty trio of forwards. Dixon and Anderson at center will get plenty of opposition from Antoncich, opposing cen-plenty of trouble. A large crowd is expected out to see the game which should prove to be the basketball treat of the season. Girls' Basketball Getting Under Way Get Acquainted With the Game; Don't Be Like the Fellow in This Story A whistle shrieks! A crowd yells. Then silence. A man clad in white tosses a brown spheroid in the air from the center of the floor. Two human forms jump after it. One hits it. One misses. Eight others make a mad rush for it. One fellow gets it. He passes it to another fellow. Two fellows grab it. The whistle screeches again. The referee again tosses, the ball into the air. This time from the corner of the floor. And again two shiny bodies jump. And again the ball is caught by some other fellbw. He throws the ball at the crowd. Just in time to save the crowd from disaster, another player catches it. He throws it at the crowd on the other side of the floor. Again the referee fellow blows the whistle. But too late! The ball already has gone into the crowd. Nobody hurt. A fellow takes it and throws it to one of his teammates. OH! It's in the air! Swish! Whistle!" The referee holds up his right hand showing two fingers. What's that mean? Oh, I see. He meant it took two men to put it through the net. But look! They are starting all over again! What it the idea? Didn't tha^t fellow do it right? Funny thing that those two fellows in the center of the floor don't catch "the ball when that referee tosses it into the air. Boy! What a mad scramble. Those fellows running their heads off. That person clad • in white, chasing them around as a Shepherd dog does the cows. All they seem to think about is get that ball. Then one .of them throws it. At the net under the ring. At the crowd. Or at one of the fellows on trie floor . { T h e y must be angry with one another. Someone of them yells at another. Somebody chases him. He tries to get away. Can't do it, Another fellow throws the ball at his back.. The coward. And they call aU *of this running around J and jumping,; yelling, chasing one ^another, ball ^throwing, • whistle- Jbkjwing; waving of hands, screech-ving;; crowds, b ^ i n g ? o t ; ^ e r ^ i ^ , £jii^ulMg t ^ $©^tife;:;stan^ ling, running and jumping, passing, turning, pivoting, throwing, shooting, scrambling, chasing, action and display of feeling and sentiment, comes under the title, of BASKETBALL. It is action. It is thrilling. Interest is there. Even the one who can see no point to the game, can get a thrill out of,, basketball. Whether his team is ahead or behind, the thrill is there. There is one thing that is mentioned in the above that is missing from our Normal school contests. There is no crowd into which the player can throw the ball. It is very evident that to someone, according to the foregoing sketch, a basketball game is no more than a mad scramble. Yet interest is - there. So let us, you and I, get together on this basketball situation and see that there are some spectators at the game this week at Whatcom Hi, to help cheer the Vikings on to another victory T h e y need and merit your support. Whether you know anything about the game or not, be there and someone will be kind enough to give you some pointers on the side. I thank you. _ -o— — This quarter girls' basketball has been divided into two sections. Monday and Wednesday nights in the big gym, enough girls turned out for four teams. A captain has been chosen for each one of these teams and they are: Fern Hall, Burdett Harlen, Beatrice Johnson and Joyce Arnold. Catherine Foster is the basketball manager. Tuesday and Thursday nights there is a basketball turnout in the little gym. Helen Turula and Margaret Shepherd are he captains and Reba Moore the manager. Teams Lack Accuracy There is a great deal of interest and enthusiasm shown in basketball this quarter. The girls have been turning out faithfully in large numbers and this promises to be one of the best basketball seasons we've ever had. The girls have been doing some fast playing but they lack accuracy. They are now being coached to make their plays more accurate, for speed is nothing without accuracy.

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