XXXIII—NO. 5 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON earn Friday, October 28, 1938 By Charles Kilbourne ORCHIDS Well, our little scheme worked! At the last game, the Valkyries were a '"howling" success, If we do say so ourselves. At considerable risk to our person, we managed to make said club very irate. This was accomplished by publishing a questionnaire last week that reflected a hostile atmosphere on the part of the student body. Also, various and sundry remarks were let fall to the effect that the Valkyries were about to be disbanded. The result was most gratifying. The girls responded nobly in the face of much opposition. They were so mad that practically every one of them came to the game. They cooperated to the nth degree with the newly formed men's rooting section. More power to the Valkyries! But be that as it may, we'll never try another plan like it again. Why? Did any of you ever have thirty-five angry females on your trail all at once? 'Nuff said. TICKLISH What with the tugboat crews all on strike in New York harbor last week, some of the larger ships had considerable difficulty getting to their docks. The job of berthing the mighty Queen Mary without the aid of any tugboats must have been quite a job. It is said that one of the senior officers collapsed after the ordeal. _ However, the • maneuver was accomplished without a hitch. If any of the calculations had gone astray, there would have indeed been the devil to pay. The great ship would have carried, everything with it. Meanwhile the striking tugboaters watched the process and laid Wagers on the success or failure of the outcome. With the dispute finally ironed out it would no longer be possible for one side to say to the other, "Dont hand us that line." EYEFUL In the East recently was an aged farmer who was about to go blind. For years his sight had been failing. First one eye became useless, then the other slowly began to reach the same condition. The old man was desperate. At long last he found a doctor with a new idea that he wished to try. Accordingly an operation was performed in which the eye of a rabbit was grafted to the old man's failing optic. The operation was a success, as have been • others tried since .that time. Doctors contend that the same thing may be possible with the eyes of other animals. There is only one thing that we are worried about. Will the new eye light up at the thought of lettuce? of a nice juicy bone? or a saucer of milk? depending on its point of origination? SPIKED? . The Bandsmen's Inferno was a great success last week. The music Was good. The night Was warm, and the dancers likewise. When the intermission arrived, everybody rushed for the refreshment stand. The rush was composed mainly of ardent swains attempting to secure a little dust settler for their gal friends. However, it is to be noted that many of the stalwart fellows paused to lap up a few cupfuls for themselves before heading back to the feminine element. Now this is a particularly unmannerly thing to do, what with the little ladies waiting impatiently, and such. We drank the first few cups so fast that it Wasn't until We went back and sat down that we discovered the cider was slightly fermented. It might "possibly have been purely psychological, but We seemed to feel livelier for the duration of the evening. RANDOM THOUGHTS WEA Regional Meet Brings Northwestern Teachers To Bellingham This Weekend Norsemen Elect Bob White Glub President r. Stanley Atwood, State School Superintendent, Gives Keynote Address in Today's Session; Out-of-State Speakers Present; Schools Have Holiday About 800 teachers of Whatcom, Skagit, and San Juan counties tare convening in Bellingham this week. The occasion is the combined annual convention of the Washington Educational association and the teachers* institute. With principal addresses in the auditorium and panel discussions in the various rooms, all meetings are taking place at Bellingham high school. Open sessions began yesterday with an invocation, musical selections by the Sedro-Woolley high school band, and an initial address by Mrs. Prances Reynolds, Vancouver, Washington, president of the WEA. Two prominent out-of-state speakers on the morning program were Dr. Ruth Alexander of Chicago and Dr. Rollo Reynolds, Columbia university. F. Stanley Atwood Speaks With J. A.~ Reeves, president of the Skagit Educational association, presiding, the second general session opened this morning. State Superintendent of Schools P. Stanley Atwood was keynote . speaker, followed by Nathan Eckstein, a member of the state planning council, in an address on the educational survey. Modern education was discussed at length by Dean Charles E. McAllister ofx Spokane and Raymond F. Hawk of Cheney. This afternoon elementary sectional meetings in separate rooms will furnish program material. Twelve of these dealing with as many subjects, are planned. Other items include election of officers of the WEA department of classroom teachers. At present Dr. R. Canfield and Verna Eastman, both of Yakima, are in the running for president. Special Group Meetings The Washington state dairy council is sponsoring an exhibit of free health education material as a sideline, while the NYA will have a representative present on both days to discuss NYA problems with school heads. The newly formed WEA division of elementary principals will elect a regional director Thursday while the Industrial arts and vocational teachers' group will hold its election of officers Friday. During the convention, city and county elementary and high school students are having a two-day vacation. College Students Found Healthy Tests Supervised by Miss Mead; Retests Will Begin Immediately; 889 Students Take Examination "This year's health examinations revealed that the general health of the students was so good, not one student was excluded from school," stated Miss May Mead this week concerning the health examinations. Under Miss Mead's supervision, the examinations, required of all entering students, were completed Thursday, October 13, in the PE building. There will be retests, as in previous years, for those who were found to have defective eyes, heart or other ailments. The test was given to 534 women and 355 men during the two weeks necessary to complete the tests. The doctors in charge were Dr. J. C. Wiik; Dr. P. A. Wheaton; Dr. B. J. Gilshannon; Dr. W. C. Moren, and Dr. W. S. Moore. They were assisted by Mrs. Rosellen Hanson, matron of the WWC - infirmary; Miss Helen Hostetter^ a former student of WWC, and Mrs.. Maude Dol-henty. The Wasserman blood test, blood count, and urinalysis will be given to all entering freshmen and transfer students. Retests will be given to those students who were found to have a low blood count in last year's tests. Students are asked to watch the official bulletin for further details. You Guess Lapinski, Gerry, Goheen, Gooch Chosen as Other Officers; Senior Commissioner Late, Bob White was elected president of the newly organized men's club, the Norsemen, according to a late report to the Viking last night after the elections. Stan Lapinski, vice president; Ross Gerry, secretary-treasurer; John Gooch and Jim Goheen, frosh commissioners, were the other officers elected at the runoff poll. Finals for senior commissioner, that between Evan.Hill and Prank Nimms, will be run next week. The new club is pledged to "—carry the responsibilities for . . . certain designated student activities; to stimulate good fellowship and feeling of unity among men students; to co-ordinate the efforts of the organization with those of wom-ens organizations in the best interest of the student body as a whole." Adoption of the Norsemen's constitution was unanimously accepted at a meeting of pledged members Monday. When a preliminary election gave no candidate a clear majority judges declared another election and the finals were run off yesterday. In an interview the Norsemen's president said "No, this is NOT the reorganized men's club. That club died because it had little reason to exist. It is gone—buried with the old Normal school, bur objectives are definite: first and foremost, perpetuation of a group that will not only serve the men, but the college as a whole. "The Norsemen have already shown that they will make theirs the most active club on the campus— although the Valkyries are certainly doing things this year. They were very quick to respond to a challenge and invitation; they co-operated beautifully with our cheer unit last Friday. You Guess Class Officers Chosen By Frosh; Kilbourne President Reroute Busses! Do YOU want\ the busses to be installed on Twenty-First street sometime in the not-too distant future to come up High and by the campus instead of along Garden only? Remember those long steps up from the street car line? Standing down there in the drizzle waiting for a car? And remember peering out those wet street car windows on dark nights' and wondering where Western Washington college could be and sometimes you rode blocks past? The Viking and the Norsemen are sponsoring a petition to the bus company asking that busses be routed up High and by the college. On each bulletin board is a petition. Sign it today if you have not already done so. What Is It?

Varsity Conference at Firs Rehearsing daily for the last two weeks the cast of "Spring Dance" is fast rounding into shape and will be ready for presentation during Homecoming. The scheduled dates are November 16,17, and 18, with a matinee on the eighteenth. As usual the fall quarter play will be presented in penthouse style, sometimes referred to as drawing room style which is similar to the method used by the Penthouse Players of the University of Washington. The Edens Hall Blue room will be used as an improvised auditorium and the actors will play in the center of the room. Seated on four sides of the acting area, the spectators will be limited to 200 persons at each performance. The actors come down the aisle and take their places in the center of the room, playing in reference to all four sides instead of-one. This creates a much friendlier feeling between audience and actors because of the intimate relationship. Mr. Hoppe says, "What we are trying for in this drawing room presentation is intimacy with the audience. It does away with the old stage traditions and formalities —hence the acting is more natural than in either stage or movie production." We Can't Tell- Library Meeting Held Soon Intensive" plans have already been started for what Adrian Alberg, chairman of Homecoming, claims will b Vthe Homecoming to top all Homecomings." This annual affair will be the social highlight of the fall quarter and is to occupy the week-end of November 18-19. The celebration will be off to a flying start on Friday, November 18, with the regular assembly. Skits, solos, and group performances will comprise the entertainment. The present tentatyie plan for Friday evening is a serpentine from school downtown accompanied by the band, led by the W club and Men's club, and escorted by the local police force. Following the pep rally will be the traditional Freshman bonfire to be burned near the campus. "In order to avoid any catastrophe, all freshmen boys will be excused from classes on Friday, November 18, in order to build the bonfire for that night, .instead of on Thursday as has previously been the procedure," was the statement issued by Bud Neil concerning the pep rally plans. A rec hour will be held in the campus gym to climax the evening. The spotlight of Homecoming will be focused on the Saturday afternoon football game at Battersby field between the Cheney Savages and WWC's hitherto undefeated Vikings. Arrangements are being made by Maynard Howatt for a rooting section composed of students. The finale will be staged Saturday evening at the Armory when alumni, students, and faculty gather for the big Homecoming dance. At present no orchestra has been selected, but other plans for a highly successful evening are underway according to the Homecoming chairman. The committees that have been appointed to supervise this affan-are: Homecoming dance; Betty Shay, chairman; Roland Van Luven, Ken Harvey, and Jane Templin; pep rally, Maynard Howatt, chairman, Stewart McLeod, Smiley Hall, Stan Lapinski, and Charles Durr; house display, Marian Clarke, chairman, Ingrid Selander, Beverly Fredrick-son, Ernie Kvam,.and Wilton Pool-man; assembly, Bertha Hall, chairman, Jean Carver, Walt Germain, Cy Hogberg, and Marion Jones; downtown decorations; BflTSchwein-gruber, chairman, Frank Trotto, Omar Lowell; publicity, Bill Fowler, chairman, Bill Bidder, Vic Mol-lan, Betty Lucid, Earl Eckert; and luncheon, Eileen Johnson, chairman. • What Is It?- PETER J. BARDON Instructor Bardon Gives Recital Local Music Lovers Shall Have Chance to Hear Accomplished Vocalist in College Auditorium Thirty-Five Initiated Into Alkisiah Group In Dorchester, Q?.$, a man pulled down a six-room house in seven days. Even then it was not clear that he had found the sports section of the newspaper. . . . There seems to be more to solving the cotton surplus than laying a thick com-ferif* of same tat the top of each one pound box of chocolates.... la Mr- Initiation of thirty-five new members Monday evening started the second meeting of the quarter of the Alkisiah club. Dr. Arthur Hicks, of the English department, told the club about the next play to be produced by the Little Theater Guild. The play, "Mr. Pirn Passes By," by A. A. Milne, will be presented November 9 to 12. November 9 is to be Alkisiah night. A short business meeting was held after Dr. Hicks'talk. Marian Chap-pel was put in charge of the Associated Women Students' tea held yesterday afternoon. Alkisiah plans to sponsor a window display for Homecoming. Lois Reid was made chairman of this project. What Is I t ? — — - - Weythman Trailed By Brunette It has come to the notice of the college public that Miss Weythman of the Department of Physical Education has a follower, age 'unknown, with black, curly hair, soulful brown eyes, who is badly in need of a shave plus a haircut. The sacred precincts of the class room, namely the hockey field, hold no terrors for him. An essence of mystery permeates the atmosphere. '...- . . His name is a dark secret. Apparently no one knows it, but he can be seen at any tune, faithfully trailing his idol. The next time you see Miss Weythman, whistle.- With a "woof, woof," her black scotty will come ion a run. Plans are now under way for the Varsity Bible conference to be held at the Firs on Lake Whatcom, November 19-20. Students from the University of British Columbia are to be the hosts, and members of the YWCA and .other students from WWC, both men and women are invited to attend. • Students from the University of Washington and from Seattle Pacific college will also be invited. The conference program will include inspirational talks by missionaries and other worthwhile speakers; recreation on Saturday afternoon; a banquet with talks, stunts and skits from each student group; a fireside meeting; and separate dis cussion groups for men and women with a joint discussion afterwards. Charges for the conference will be very reasonable; there will be plenty of good food. For further informatics watch tne 1TWCA bulletin board. .

The first speaker is to be Miss Frost, who has charge of adult education in Seattle. Next Mr. Butler, WWC reference librarian, will speak on what definite help the American Library association gives the librarian in the way of printed material. The book publishers will exhibit their newest books. Also a skit is to be presented by the Bremerton public schools. This skit was planned for Book Week, but is to be given here first. What Is It?- Peter J. Bardon, instructor at Fairhaven junior high school, who has had wide experience as a vocalist, will be heard in recital Friday, November 4, 8:15 p. m., at Western Washington college auditorium.

By Charles Kilbourne
ORCHIDS
Well, our little scheme worked!
At the last game, the Valkyries were
a '"howling" success, If we do say so
ourselves. At considerable
risk to
our person, we
managed to make
said club very
irate. This was
accomplished by
publishing a questionnaire
last
week that reflected
a hostile atmosphere
on the
part of the student
body. Also,
various and sundry
remarks were let fall to the effect
that the Valkyries were about
to be disbanded. The result was
most gratifying. The girls responded
nobly in the face of much opposition.
They were so mad that
practically every one of them came
to the game. They cooperated to
the nth degree with the newly formed
men's rooting section. More
power to the Valkyries! But be
that as it may, we'll never try another
plan like it again. Why?
Did any of you ever have thirty-five
angry females on your trail all
at once? 'Nuff said.
TICKLISH
What with the tugboat crews all
on strike in New York harbor last
week, some of the larger ships had
considerable difficulty getting to
their docks. The job of berthing
the mighty Queen Mary without
the aid of any tugboats must have
been quite a job. It is said that
one of the senior officers collapsed
after the ordeal. _ However, the
• maneuver was accomplished without
a hitch. If any of the calculations
had gone astray, there would
have indeed been the devil to pay.
The great ship would have carried,
everything with it. Meanwhile the
striking tugboaters watched the process
and laid Wagers on the success
or failure of the outcome. With the
dispute finally ironed out it would
no longer be possible for one side to
say to the other, "Dont hand us
that line."
EYEFUL
In the East recently was an aged
farmer who was about to go blind.
For years his sight had been failing.
First one eye became useless, then
the other slowly began to reach the
same condition. The old man was
desperate. At long last he found a
doctor with a new idea that he wished
to try. Accordingly an operation
was performed in which the
eye of a rabbit was grafted to the
old man's failing optic. The operation
was a success, as have been
• others tried since .that time. Doctors
contend that the same thing may be
possible with the eyes of other animals.
There is only one thing that
we are worried about. Will the new
eye light up at the thought of lettuce?
of a nice juicy bone? or a
saucer of milk? depending on its
point of origination?
SPIKED?
. The Bandsmen's Inferno was a
great success last week. The music
Was good. The night Was warm,
and the dancers likewise. When
the intermission arrived, everybody
rushed for the refreshment stand.
The rush was composed mainly of
ardent swains attempting to secure a
little dust settler for their gal friends.
However, it is to be noted that many
of the stalwart fellows paused to
lap up a few cupfuls for themselves
before heading back to the feminine
element. Now this is a particularly
unmannerly thing to do, what with
the little ladies waiting impatiently,
and such. We drank the first few
cups so fast that it Wasn't until We
went back and sat down that we
discovered the cider was slightly fermented.
It might "possibly have

College Students

889 Students Take Examination
"This year's health examinations
revealed that the general health of
the students was so good, not one
student was excluded from school,"
stated Miss May Mead this week
concerning the health examinations.
Under Miss Mead's supervision,
the examinations, required of all
entering students, were completed
Thursday, October 13, in the PE
building.
There will be retests, as in previous
years, for those who were
found to have defective eyes, heart
or other ailments. The test was
given to 534 women and 355 men
during the two weeks necessary to
complete the tests.
The doctors in charge were Dr.
J. C. Wiik; Dr. P. A. Wheaton; Dr.
B. J. Gilshannon; Dr. W. C. Moren,
and Dr. W. S. Moore. They were
assisted by Mrs. Rosellen Hanson,

have a low blood count in last year's
tests. Students are asked to watch
the official bulletin for further details.

Lapinski, Gerry, Goheen,
Gooch Chosen as Other Officers;
Senior Commissioner Late,
Bob White was elected president
of the newly organized men's club,
the Norsemen, according to a late
report to the Viking last night after
the elections. Stan Lapinski, vice
president; Ross Gerry, secretary-treasurer;
John Gooch and Jim Goheen,
frosh commissioners, were the
other officers elected at the runoff
poll. Finals for senior commissioner,
that between Evan.Hill and
Prank Nimms, will be run next
week.
The new club is pledged to
"—carry the responsibilities for . . .
certain designated student activities;
to stimulate good fellowship
and feeling of unity among men students;
to co-ordinate the efforts of
the organization with those of wom-ens
organizations in the best interest
of the student body as a whole."
Adoption of the Norsemen's constitution
was unanimously accepted
at a meeting of pledged members
Monday. When a preliminary election
gave no candidate a clear majority
judges declared another election
and the finals were run off yesterday.
In an interview the Norsemen's
president said "No, this is NOT the
reorganized men's club. That club
died because it had little reason to
exist. It is gone—buried with the
old Normal school, bur objectives
are definite: first and foremost,
perpetuation of a group that will
not only serve the men, but the college
as a whole.
"The Norsemen have already shown
that they will make theirs the
most active club on the campus—
although the Valkyries are certainly
doing things this year. They were
very quick to respond to a challenge
and invitation; they co-operated
beautifully with our cheer unit last
Friday.

Reroute Busses!
Do YOU want\ the busses
to be installed on Twenty-First
street sometime in the not-too
distant future to come up High
and by the campus instead of
along Garden only? Remember
those long steps up from
the street car line? Standing
down there in the drizzle waiting
for a car? And remember
peering out those wet street
car windows on dark nights'
and wondering where Western
Washington college could be
and sometimes you rode blocks
past?
The Viking and the Norsemen
are sponsoring a petition
to the bus company asking that
busses be routed up High and
by the college. On each bulletin
board is a petition. Sign it
today if you have not already
done so.

UBC Sponsors. Varsity
Conference at Firs
Rehearsing daily for the last two
weeks the cast of "Spring Dance" is
fast rounding into shape and will be
ready for presentation during Homecoming.
The scheduled dates are
November 16,17, and 18, with a matinee
on the eighteenth.
As usual the fall quarter play will
be presented in penthouse style,
sometimes referred to as drawing
room style which is similar to the
method used by the Penthouse Players
of the University of Washington.
The Edens Hall Blue room will
be used as an improvised auditorium
and the actors will play in the center
of the room. Seated on four
sides of the acting area, the spectators
will be limited to 200 persons
at each performance. The actors
come down the aisle and take their
places in the center of the room,
playing in reference to all four sides
instead of-one. This creates a much
friendlier feeling between audience
and actors because of the intimate
relationship.
Mr. Hoppe says, "What we are
trying for in this drawing room
presentation is intimacy with the
audience. It does away with the
old stage traditions and formalities
—hence the acting is more natural
than in either stage or movie production."
We Can't Tell-
Library Meeting
Held Soon
Intensive" plans have already been started for what Adrian Alberg,
chairman of Homecoming, claims will b Vthe Homecoming to top all
Homecomings." This annual affair will be the social highlight of the
fall quarter and is to occupy the week-end of November 18-19.
The celebration will be off to a flying start on Friday, November 18,
with the regular assembly. Skits, solos, and group performances will comprise
the entertainment. The present tentatyie plan for Friday evening is a
serpentine from school downtown
accompanied by the band, led by the
W club and Men's club, and escorted
by the local police force.
Following the pep rally will be
the traditional Freshman bonfire to
be burned near the campus. "In order
to avoid any catastrophe, all
freshmen boys will be excused from
classes on Friday, November 18, in
order to build the bonfire for that
night, .instead of on Thursday as
has previously been the procedure,"
was the statement issued by Bud
Neil concerning the pep rally plans.
A rec hour will be held in the campus
gym to climax the evening.
The spotlight of Homecoming will
be focused on the Saturday afternoon
football game at Battersby
field between the Cheney Savages
and WWC's hitherto undefeated
Vikings. Arrangements are being
made by Maynard Howatt for a
rooting section composed of students.
The finale will be staged Saturday
evening at the Armory when alumni,
students, and faculty gather for
the big Homecoming dance. At
present no orchestra has been selected,
but other plans for a highly
successful evening are underway according
to the Homecoming chairman.

appointed to supervise this affan-are:
Homecoming dance; Betty Shay,
chairman; Roland Van Luven, Ken
Harvey, and Jane Templin; pep

Weythman Trailed
By Brunette
It has come to the notice of
the college public that Miss
Weythman of the Department
of Physical Education has a
follower, age 'unknown, with
black, curly hair, soulful brown
eyes, who is badly in need of a
shave plus a haircut. The sacred
precincts of the class room,
namely the hockey field, hold
no terrors for him.
An essence of mystery permeates
the atmosphere. '...- . .
His name is a dark secret. Apparently
no one knows it, but
he can be seen at any tune,
faithfully trailing his idol. The
next time you see Miss Weythman,
whistle.- With a "woof,
woof," her black scotty will
come ion a run.
