The Weekly Messenger Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School VOL XVII. BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, FEB. 2, 1918 NO. 16 Friday evening at 8 o'clock Edward A. Steiner will be with us on a lecture course number. It is said that Mr. Steiner is an aducation all by himself, and certainly no student can afford to miss hearing him. In case any difficulty arises concerning diplomas, students will save no time by writing to the State Superintendent. All matters concerning diplomas are dealt with here. The regular time of Messenger staff meeting will be at 9:40, or following assembly on Tuesday. Staff members may assume that there will be a meeting unless a meeting is announced for the Klip-sun staff at that period. A call has come from the Cushman Training School of Taeoma for a graduate of our Domestic Science Department to serve as Superintendent of the Cookery work here. MEN Slu¥IS0 STUDYJ/VAR COOKING The proprietor of one of our restaurants, a man who is trying to carry out honestly and loyally the regulations for conservation of food, said to me the other day: "I think the restaurants ought to be licensed." I looked blank. I didn't see his point and he went on to illustrate. "Yesterday a man who has been taking three meals a day here before we went on a war basis, asked for more, white bread. When the waitress explained that he could have all the brown or rye bread he wanted, but he had already received the limit of white bread, according to the Hoover regulation, he was angry. The waitress called the proprietor, who went over the explanation again in his most gracious manner, but the man was furious. He hasn't been in the restaurant since." "Why!" I exclaimed, "That man is a traitor; he ought to be spotted!" "There is some restaurant where he is getting what he wants," the proprietor continued. "The public can hold us up. That is why I think restaurants ought to be licensed. Of course most people are loyal and ready to take what is (Continued on Page Eight) I Miss Wilson, when she speaks be- j fore the State Library Association at | I the University of Washington in j | February, will emphasize the Normal | j school library as the newest type of | I library to be developed, and its fu- j I ture possibilities. Miss Wilson has | a number of original ideas concern- j I ing normal school libraries, their use- | |. fulness, correlation of different de- | | partments, etc. I 4^ . —. * BIG GAME OF YEAR WILL B [ l TONIGHT What will probably be the hardest and perhaps the best basketball game of the season will be played this evening when Normal tangles with the boys from the College of Puget Sound. The boys from down-sound are coming full of confidence and expect to clean up on Normal in return for the many defeats they have received from Normal teams of past years. In a recent game with the U. of W. they came so close to defeating the purple and gold that the university students haven't got over the scare yet. The big best bet of the coming "sKy pilots" is Captain Martin Askey, elongated center, who starred with the championship team of Whatcom High School last year. In the game with the university he played rings around his man; not only on floor-work but especially in the matter of shooting baskets did he excell. Thus it is that Howard Hughes will have his hands full this evening, but we believe he will be equal to the occasion and play a strong game. We have no doubt as to the ability of our forwards. Kennett. Miller and Aplin and expect them to slip away for their usual large quota of baskets. Speaking of guard3, we have three in Fry, Bartruff and Davis, who will make any forward believe he has earned his basket if he be so fortunate as to shoot one. Coach Sam Carver considers it a matter of do or die, for he thinks that the showing made by the boys tonight will o-ive a good idea of how they will come out when they take their little trip in about two weeks. NORMAL Y I C . A. TO HOLD BI|EJNSTITUTE Wednesday, February 6, the tenth annual Y. W. C. A. Bible Institute will begin. The speakers this year will be Mrs. Campbell of Seattle and Mrs. Neth of Vancouver, B. C. Mrs. Campbell is a well known Bible teacher of Seattle and comes to us this year for the eighth time. Each year many girls have greatly appreciated the splendid messages which she has brought to them. Mrs. Neth is connected with a Bible school in Vancouver. She was trained for her work in the Los Angeles Bible Institute. The Bible Institute has meant much to girls who have been here before and many returning to the school have looked forward with great anticipation of the help and inspiration to be gotten from another Bible conference with such women as Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Neth. The program as arranged is as follows: Wednesday, 4:10 Leader, Olive Pope. Solo, Nellie Dick. . (Continued on Page Eight) THESPIANS ANNOUNCE THEIR I N UAL PLAY Thespian Dramatic Club finally has announced its plans for the annual play. The date chosen is Friday, March 1st. After a careful consideration of many plays, it was decided to presented "Mary Jane's Pa" by Edith Ellis. This three-act American comedy is, in spite of its title, a really first-class piece of work. It is original in style, faithful in character representation, full of wholesome humor and dramatic moments. It has a higher percentage of laughs per minute than any play presented within recent years on the local Assembly Hall stage. The cast, here published for the first time, is as follows: Portia Perkins Miss Florence Ober Lucile Perkins Miss Nina Lusk Mary Jane Perkins... .Miss Helen Upper Miss Faxon.... Miss Hazel Huntsberger Barrett Sheridan.. Mr. Arthur Crawshaw Star Skinner Mr. Chester Garden Joel Skinner Mr. John Miller Claud Whitcomb Mr. Philip Montag Line Watkins Mr. Paul Washke Rome Preston Mr. Reinhart Hansen Rehearsals were begun on last Wednesday and will be held almost daily for the remaining four weeks before the production. Prices and details regarding the sale of tickets will be announced soon. In the meantime the student body is requested to keep the night of March first intact so far as other engagement are concerned. STUDENTS IN ASSEMBLY HEAR MRJTCHFIELD Mr. Litchfield, National Association Deputy of the Public Service Reserve, spoke in the assembly Thursday morning. Last year Mr. Litchfield was on the committee for the three days' festival in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the Boston School of Technology, and it was through his efforts that a very unique reunion of the alumni of that institution was held. By means of a system of telephones 6,000 alumni in thirty-eight centers of the United States were able to hear the lecture given by the college president in Boston. This was very interesting in that it shows how the genius of man has made it possible to unite a whole nation. We are all aware that the co-ordination of our country at present is one of the big problems of the war. Before the war we had no conception of the size or strength of our country, but now many new offices and departments have been created to carefully diagnose every branch. We had paid little heed to that great power which provides us with finished products from raw material until now we find that in many places where vitally needed, that great resourse, labor, is lacking, though perhaps plentiful in other regions. It was to meet this need (Continued on Page Eight) CALENDAR TUESDAY— 8:50—Assembly. Short address by Rev. W. F. Reagor. Musical program under direction of Mrs. Thatcher. Class meetings following assembly. WEDNESDAY— 2:35—War Cooking class. Assembly. 4:10—Y. W. C. A. meeting. Mrs. bell will speak. Special music. THURSDAY— 10:30—Assembly. General Hazzard Stevens, a speaker of great local historic interest will speak. FRIDAY— 2:35—War cooking. CHANGE IS MADE IN THE JUVENILE LIBRARY - The library announces a change in the location of juveline books. This depart* ment has been moved to the training school in order to facilitate the use of these books and also to correlate closely with the entire work of the training school. Books for the use of the primary grades are placed in Miss Willoughby's department, and those for the upper grades are in room 138. The filing cards for them are in the files of the main library, but each juvenile book card is marked with the letter "J." This arrangement avoids any possible confusion. It is hoped that all students will make use of this newly arranged division; its creation and up-keep are solely for their use and convenience. NEW QUARTER ADJUSTMENTS Normal schools of Washington are considering calendar re-adjustments and expect soon to be conducted on the quarter basis. This means that the school year will be forty-eight weeks instead of forty-four, consequently the work will be organized into four quarters, twelve weeks to the quarter. If the plan is carried out the summer quarter of twelve weeks will be divided into two terms of six weeks each so that during the summer term one may take either half or all the work. Under this plan a student could, by attending continuously, do four years' work in three years. PROMISE OF MORE HEAT! The last brick on the new smokestack was laid last week and one of the old boilers has been transferred to the new building. It is confidently expected that the fires will be started and that heat will be coming from the new source within the next two weeks. Mr. E. L. Webber, consulting Engineer, of Seattle, has been in charge of the work and has reared a very sightly building, as well as one that will be most serviceable for years to come.
