SELECTIONS TO BE GIVEN Practially every club in the school is conducting a new membership campaign in connection with the plans for the coming year and different methods will be used to determine eligibility. The most used way is the three minute try-out at which time some selection, either dramatic or musical, is given by the applicant before a committee that chooses the most desired ones. A Thespian Club try-out will be given next Monday and Tuesday afternoons at four o'clock in the auditorium. The three minute plan will be used, with competition in music and dramatic numbers. This evening at eight o'clock in room 228, the Philomathean Club will hold a similar meeting under the same conditions as the Thespians. The Normal Drama Club will hold its try-outs on October 15th, in room 308, from three until five o'clock. Those interested should see the bulletin board for further announcements. Persons who have lived for one or more years in Oregon should meet in • room 108 today noon. Another club that is in the process of re-organization is the Sourdough Club, .whose membership comes from students that have lived in Alaska, and the first meeting will be next Tuesday noon in ;room 108. Other clubs will meet in the near future and those desiring membership should look into its affairs. STUDENT FORUM FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 The first Student Forum of the fall quarter will be held Friday, October 16. i I t will serve a double purpose, first, to •cover the business of the Student's Association; second, to conduct the election of student officers and representatives for the executive council. One regular assembly of each month is to be given over to the Students' Association for the purpose of a Student Forum. Owing to the large number of excellent programs offered this summer the Students' Association did not have the regular number of meetings. > ' . . ' • ——' — — - o - .' YELL KING CHOSEN FOR NEXT QUARTER Try-outs and Election Held Today Find "Classy King." The question of Yell King was settled again for another quarter in today's assembly when several candidates had their try outs followed by a student body election. The Messenger had gone to press before the final returns were known, but two propositions were presented to the voters. One was that of choosing a man for Yell King and one man and one woman for assistants, or that of choosing three women for the positions. This was to be determined by the try-outs that included comic, pathetic, and Gaelic attempts of would-be kings in their striving to show their possibilities. Two applicants "showed us how" in a preliminary contest held in the Tuesday's assembly. Meryl Byrd, of last year's squad, pictured Waldo Field—a grandstand full of fans—two teams desperately struggling for victory—a tense feeling in the air as Normal approached its goal—and then he led the assembly in two husky yells. Following this Mark Jarrett, a young rookie from Whatcom High School, gave a vivid picture of the same Wlaldo Field—a capacity crowd t—struggling elevens—tense silence—a member of the Vikings makes a basket —-then a stirring' cheer and the voting population knew that his stocking cap was in the ring.

Baker Lodge, to be Formally Opened Saturday, October 10. HACKOT TO APPEAR Normal and Music Club Sponsor Artist Course. Charles Hackett will be the first artist to appear on the Artist course sponsored by the Bellingham Woman's Music Club and the Normal school. The concert will be given Friday evening, October 16, in the Christian church at A and Girard. Hackett, who is a tenor of note, comes from the Chicago Civic Opera company, and as an American singer is greatly beloved by all American audiences. The Artist Course offers a wide range of artists talented in many lines. Since Student Body tickets admit to all the concerts no student can afford to miss any of the appearances. All those who attended the musicals last year will say that it is a splendid opportunity to round out one's musical education. One of the most well received singers last year was Tita Schipa, world-famous tenor. Sophie Braslau,: contralto, also appeared early last year and charmed her audience. The artists this year are even more famous than those of last year and it is expected that the large auditorium will be filled at each, per-] f ormance. Due to the co-operation of the Normal with the Bellingham Woman's Music Club the Normal students are admitted free and season tickets are sold to those outside the school for Six Dollars. This course was arranged with the object in view of bringing artists here who would not otherwise include Bellingham on their tours. With this in mind only the best have been secured so that every concert will be thoroughly worth while. Before each musical the program of the artist is usually explained by a member of the music department. In November there will be a joint recital given by Hulda Lashanska, lyric soprano, and Felix Salmond, violincel-list. The other artists who will appear are: Margaret Matzenauer, contralto; Cecelia Hansen, violinist; Olga Samaroff, Pianist; and George Barrerre's Little Symphony.

SCHOOL IMPRESSES VISITING DELEGATES A delegation representing the Chamber of Commerce officials of Seattie and Spokane visited Bellingham yesterday to study the neds of the Normal School. The representatives were avid Whitcomb and W. G. Herron, president and vice president of the Seattle chamber; Dr. M. L. Spencer, chairman of the educationl committee of the same chamber; Harlan Peyton and J. F. Davies, president and chairman of the educational committee of the Spokane Chamber. A special luncheon was given yesterday noon at the eLopold Hotel and attended by a group of interested persons. Talks were given to the Normal student- body by some of the delegates and by Pres. C. H. Fisher in the special assembly held in the afternoon. Mr. Whitcomb is a world traveled and is considered one of Seattles' most interesting lectures. Mr. Peyton also has quite a reputation as a public speaker. t l is understood here that the pending inspection of the school and a conference with President Fisher is connected with the legislation concerning state institutions that will be submitted to the next sitting of the state legislature in November. The findings and reports regarding the action on this will be officially given at a later date.

New Zealanders To Present Songs and Dances. Something new in the way of entertainment is being offered in the Normal auditorium Saturday evening, October 10. A company of Maouis, just landed from New Zealand are to present native songs and dances and games, together with motion pictures of New Zealand's beautiful and wonderful scenery and tourist resorts. Their opening number is the Maori welcome given at home in their own villages to all friends who come to visit. Such a welcome was given to the Prince of Wales when he visited New Zealand in 1920. Several native songs, some of which they sing both in Maori and in English, are rendered by the Quintette with the most beautiful harmony. The dances include the Haka, or native war dance, in which the Maoris indulge in gruesome contortions of the features for the purpose of frightening their enemies. Also, the women perform the poi dance with balls made from cattails. Tht troupe has in its number, Tiawhi Ratete, the best Maori tenor alive today, who contributes two solos, and Tapiri Tonihi, the recognized leader.of the war dance of his tribe, the Arawas. The Maori is the only native race on earth which is increasing in numbers. Today there are 60,000 of them, who send their best five entertainers here this week.

Each applicant will be given three minutes. Short dramatic poems, stories, sketches or portions of longer selections may be presented. Students may try out in groups presenting scenes from plays if desirable. The Drama Club is not a social club or separate groups of students such as moat other clubs of the school. It is an all school organization which carries on the public dramatic work of the school. It is the only organization of the school that systematically presents spoken drama quarter after quarter. It aims to do in dramatic work what the debate and athletic teams are doing in their lines. The club is limited to fifty active members and through try-outs the club is kept at that number. The fifty members that are selected by try-outs are eligible to try out for the plays given by the club. Comedy to Be Given. The first play will occur sometime before Christmas and will be the modern take off on the movies, "Merton of the Movies," a four-act comedy by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly, dramatized from the novel by Harry Leon Wilson. It is hoped that all those who make memberships in the club will have time to try out for "Merton of the Movies." Aside from the social experience gained in taking part in a play two credits are given in expression. Last Year Successful. Last year- the Drama Club had a very successful year. In the fall the modern comedy "The Show Off," by George Kelly, was presented. During the winter quarter "Old Lady 31," by Rachel Crolthers, met with much success. This was a costume play of the Civil War period. It was a character comedy built about an old ladies' home. The laughing hit of the season proved to be "The Potters," which was given near the end of the spring quarter. This play had to do with the average American family. During the summer an outdoor production of Shakespeare's "As You Like I t " ran three nights in Greenwood Theater, locater on the campus. It is planned this year to have the Normal Drama Club become an active member of the Drama Club of America, and to have a club meeting at least once a month for the purpose of discussing plays and play movements. There are only fifteen old members of the Drama Club to return this year and it is essential that all of these people sign up on the bulletin and 'attend' a meeting to be held Monday at 4 p. m. in room 308 for the purpose of electing of ficers for the year.

The vacancies now existing on the Board of Control are that of the President, Vice-President, Student Rep^- resentative, and Faculty Advisor. Nominating petitions have been on the bulletin board in the main hall since Wednesday morning of this week. They will be removed Tuesday, October 13th at eleven o'clock, thus giving the students a day longer than is usually allowed for the signing of the petitions. They are removed at this date to give the people a better opportunity to aquaint themselves with the nominees. Twenty-five signatures are neessary to nominate a person by petition. Nominations may also be made . from the floor in Tuesday's assembly of next week. It is to be kept in mind that the election itself is to be held Friday, October 16 in the Student Forum. Ballots will be passed at the entrance to the auditorium and collected at the doors after adjournment. The election committee consists of Joe Baxter, chairman; Gladys Scott, Louise Haller, Frank Katterman and Calvin Nichols. Mr. Baxter says, "We are going to make this a memorable election. We want the interest of every student in the school. Be sure to get your ballot at the door Friday, October 16. Be there!" DREAM HOME GIVEN TO LUCKY PERSON Exposition Will Open Monday at State Armory. Next Monday, October 12, is the date set by the Bellingham Real Estate Board for the opening of the big "Own Your Own Home" exposition at the State Armory, corner Elk and Pine Streets.

Mary promises that if she wins the contest and receives the prize, which is a Ford coupe, she will take all the students a-riding. Another especially interesting feature of the exposition is the "Why Own Your Own Home" essay contest open to all students of the Normal and sponsored by the Bellingham Realtors Assocation.

It aims to do in dramatic work what the debate and athletic teams are doing in their lines. The club is limited to fifty active members and through try-outs the club is kept at that number. The fifty members that are selected by try-outs are eligible to try out for the plays given by the club. Comedy to Be Given. The first play will occur sometime before Christmas and will be the modern take off on the movies, "Merton of the Movies," a four-act comedy by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly, dramatized from the novel by Harry Leon Wilson. It is hoped that all those who make memberships in the club will have time to try out for "Merton of the Movies." Aside from the social experience gained in taking part in a play two credits are given in expression. Last Year Successful. Last year- the Drama Club had a very successful year. In the fall the modern comedy "The Show Off," by George Kelly, was presented. During the winter quarter "Old Lady 31," by Rachel Crolthers, met with much success. This was a costume play of the Civil War period. It was a character comedy built about an old ladies' home. The laughing hit of the season proved to be "The Potters," which was given near the end of the spring quarter. This play had to do with the average American family. During the summer an outdoor production of Shakespeare's "As You Like I t " ran three nights in Greenwood Theater, locater on the campus. It is planned this year to have the Normal Drama Club become an active member of the Drama Club of America, and to have a club meeting at least once a month for the purpose of discussing plays and play movements. There are only fifteen old members of the Drama Club to return this year and it is essential that all of these people sign up on the bulletin and 'attend' a meeting to be held Monday at 4 p. m. in room 308 for the purpose of electing of ficers for the year.
