COLUMN
TODAY
Because the regular author of this
column defaulted, abdicated, or
something, we were forced this week
to call upon members of the news-writing
classes to fill up the space.
Please excuse the lack of unity.

Hi folks, everybody happy? You
should be with the Sophomore party
an actual reality, a stupendous W
club vaudeville approaching, and
perfect weather assured for Cam­pus
day, your troubles should be
nil.
Incidentally, people, have you
noticed the added wim and wigor
displayed by so many of our dormi­tory
damsels? Could it be due to
the good, solid stability of a bean
diet?
Resolved: That we are not pay­ing
our NYA workers sufficient com­pensation
for their labor. Maybe
yea and maybe nea. This may not
even seem debatable to some peo­ple
but when students working in
the science department are forced
to resort to eating of raw frog legs
as a means of livelihood—maybe
best you devote some concentration
on the matter.

CONTROVERSIAL CHATS
With dignified discussion in pro­gress
in the Blue room a person
should stroll into the now open
Men's club room to really hear con­troversial
matters. Everything from
last year's suit to next Saturday's
party is torn to shreds. Not par­ticularly
educating but it's discus­sion,
and that's what they're striv­ing
for in the Faculty chatv

PRANCE WITH PAUL
Mash! Last night all the stud­ents
who were able to cross the
palm of the doorman at the Ar­mory
with a specified amount of
the realm's coin heard and saw
Paul Pendarvis. Many intrepid
seekers of learning were observed
enjoying themselves until the wee
small hours. (Only till midnight,
Miss Johnson.) Using techni-cue
learned at rec hours they dawnced
with all the grace and abandon of
grizzly bears afflicted with bunions.
Some fun.

Visitors Entertained at Dinner
At Vancouver Country Club
"On January 24 a group of 22 edu­cators
from Vancouver, B. C, spent
the day visiting our school", says
President C. H. Fisher. "Today 33
members of the faculty of this school
are making a return visit to the pub­lic
schools of Vancouver. This
number includes teachers of the
Campus Elementary school as well
as the higher institution."
( Leaving here this morning at 7:30
the faculty expected > to arrive in
the Canadian city about 9:30 a. m.
They planned to visit elementary
-and junior high schools during the
morning and afternoon, some of the
teachers in the group visiting de­partments
in which they are special­ly
interested, such as art, music,
physical education, home economics,
and industrial arts.
This evening a dinner will be giv­en
at the Vancouver Golf and Coun­try
club, after which there will be a
discussion of the subject of "The
junior High School". The teachers
are scheduled to return to Belling­ham
about midnight.

The Theater Guild opened Wed­nesday
evening a four nights' run
of its last production of the season,
"The Merchant of Venice," under
the direction of Victor H. Hoppe
and Helen Cameron Grant.
The play in arrangement and'
staging was presented in close con­formity
to Elibethan practice
and it was not difficult for the
spectator to imagine himself in the
Globe theater over three hundred
years ago. After the lights came
up on the stage at the beginning,
the play moved continuously with
the shortest of intermissions. To
the Elizabethan effect the inti­macy
of the guild's playhouse and
the depth of the stage contributed

. "With all our lusty might—we're
having our party to-night—should
anyone want to fight—we're out to

general chairman of the Sopho­more
party. The long-postponed
frolic will take place in the Big gym
this evening from 8 until 11. '
"As to the music", continues Miss
Acklen, "we have secured the very

band will furnish the hi-diddle-did-dles.
We are also having novel
decorations which we hope you'll
enjoy".
Patrons for the affair will be Mr.

The postponement of the All-school

to have their party this eve­ning.
Staff Artist of Viking

Don Norlin, former Normal stud­ent,
has recently accepted a two-year

prominent in the political as well
as the artistic circles of the school.

Orchestra Appears
In Music Program
In connection with National music
week, a program arranged by Mrs.
Charles Yule was given in the audi­torium
last Wednesday evening.
Students and the public were in­vited.
Various performers to appear on
the program were: Louis Helder,
baritone soloist; Norwegian male
quartet; Swedish male chorus, di­rected
by Mr. Sandberg; Singers'
club, directed by Nils Boson; Schola
boys of Assumption church, directed
by Theodore Sangar; and the Nor­mal
school orchestra, directed by
Donald Bushell.
"O Sanctissima" (Mitterer) sung
by the Schola boys chorus; "The
Wanderers" (Schubert) sung by
Louis Helder; and "Spanish Dances"
(Moszkowski) interpreted by the
Normal school orchestra were sever­al
of the numbers presented on the
program. .

"It looks as though there won't be
any third prize in the snapshot con­test
since there are only two entries
so far. Get busy, students", says
Helen Hostetter, editor of the Klip­sun.
Several pages will be devoted to
snapshots if enough good ones are
turned in for. consideration. Such

The cast included a generous
share of the best histronic talent
of the guild. Mr. Hoppe's Shylock
was altogether convincing and dra­matic—
a Jew throughout with his
pecuniary shwerdness, cunning, and
racial consciousness, but also a
complex human being with his
thwarted paternal affection, his
memories of connubial happiness,
his protest against intolerable in­sults
and indignities, his bitter pur­suit
of revenge, and his more bitter
defeat and prostration at the end.

to' him. Voting on acceptance
of the budget was reserved until
next meeting.

In Two Games
Clifton and Chorvat Hit Heavy;
Vikings Come from Behind
To Win Both
Smith Hurls Good Ball
Return Contests Will Be Played
Here Next Friday
By Harry Kluge
It was Clifton and Chorvat day
in Seattle yesterday when the Vi­kings
wallopped the University of
Washington Frosh baseball squad in
a doubleheader by scores of eight to
seven and four to one.
The "cripple and triple" men on.
Coach Chuck Lappenbusch's squad
provided the fireworks yesterday,
when Cecil Clifton, catcher, who has
a badly sprained ankle, socked a
long single with the bases loaded,
scoring two runs and keeping the
Vikings in the first ball game. Fritz
Chorvat, shortstop, collected four
hits during the day, two being
triples in the second game that ac­counted
for all four runs.
Oppelt Pitches Well
Marion Oppelt hurled steady ball
in the first contest for the Norse­men,
setting the Husky yearlings
down with seven blows and fanning
the same number. George Smith-chucked
the second tussle, allowing
the same number of hits and get­ting
six Frosh via the strikeout
route.
Inning number eight proved to
be the Huskies' undoing when the
Vikings batted all the way around,
scoring six runs. Moscrip, Reis, and
VanderGriend contributed crucial
blows during this stanza-
Squeeze Play Works
VanderGriend and Chorvat exe­cuted
a perfect squeeze play to tie
the score of the second game, one
to one. Then, in the ninth inning,
with two on, Chorvat picked out one
down the center and - landed it
against the left field wall for 'a
triple, scoring on the error at home.
