By Frank Shiers-Derry Conlee To begin with, this week, I would like to deny in advance the charges of bitterness or frustration in love that will undoubtedly arise as a result of this article. These opinions are entirely my own and are subject to change at a moment's notice. I n an attempt to widen our reading public, Mr. Conlee and I have decided to write about the one thing that is sure to interest-all girls which, contrary to general belief, is not men but girls themselves. Yes, they are MEGALOMANIACS. Girls may be divided roughly into two categories: DIZZY BLONDES and DIZZY BRUNETTES. If a girl is not dizzy, she is not popular because people think she is putting on airs. What worries me most, however, is the mountain of formality with which so-called "emancipated" women have surrounded themselves. If I wanted to take a girl to a show (Heaven forbid the mere thought!), I would have to ask her at least three weeks in advance in order that she would have plenty of time to decide whether she could find anyone better for that night. On top of this, she would reserve the right to call the whole thing off five minutes before I was due to call. I could go on with many more examples of foolish customs; but to do so doesn't suit my purpose. What I propose to do is to set up a code of conduct for dating college girls. It follows: 1. Invite them two hours before the time of the date. 2. Be sure you have your pocketbook. 3. Demand a definite yes or n o answer. 4. Be sure your pocketbook has something more than washers in it. 5. Be punctual; wait five minutes; and leave if she isn't ready. 6. Be sure you don't leave your pocketbook home in your other pants. 7. After you start, use your own discretion. Marquis of Queensberry rules to prevail. As a slight supplement to Mr. Shier's work, I would add the following comments: 1. Tell your date that you plan to spend no more than seventy-five cents (including tax) for the evening's entertainment. This includes incidentals such as gum, cigarettes, and cokes. 2. Expound the values of walking. 3. Tell her to wear her old clothes and then wear your " new suit so as to show yourself to advantage. 4. Be ten minutes late. You'll have to wait only fifteen minutes then, and she'll have time to finish her book and even comb her hair again. • Now that the war has become as familiar as an old sock and (Continued on Page Six) * * • DATELINE Friday, November 14 HOMECOMING serpentine parade, begins by Edens hall driveway, 7:00 p. m.

The members of the committee have worked hard to make this luncheon a big success, and we wish especially to thank Miss Gertrude Longley and . Dr. Haggard for their asisstance."

Faculty, Frosh To Entertain Parents Sunday President Haggard To Address Parents; Tour of Campus Reception-Tea Featured After the stimulating features of a HOMECOMING week-end, the freshmen parents' day will be warmly welcomed as a time to rest while showing Mom and Pop around. Parents of all new students have been invited by the college to attend this annual affair, Sunday, November 16. At 2:30 the parents will meet in the main reading room of the library to be entertained by the string ensemble under the direction of Donald Bushell. Dr. W. W. Haggard will address the parents at 3 o'clock. Each" hew student will be a host to his parents on a campus tour following Dr. Haggard's talk. Eight members of the ushering committee have been shown through the new training school building so that they will be well enough acquainted with the building to conduct the visitors through it. The art exhibit on the third floor of the main building will be one of the points of interest. Following the tour, the faculty will be host to parents and new students at tea in Edens Hall Blue room. Tea will be served between the hours of 3:45 and 5 o'clock. Faculty members composing the committee for the affair are Miss Lorraine Powers, Miss Mary E. Rich, Mr. Loye McGee, and Dr. Merle S. Kuder. Homecoming Show By Clubs, Houses Featured Tonight Climaxing Friday night's festivities, the Homecoming assembly will furnish a welcome relief to aching feet and strained vocal cords. Off the beaten path somewhat, .the assembly this year has several new features. One change is that the assembly is at night, which gives returning grads a better chance to see the show. Another feature is the coronation of Queen Sigrid IV by President W. W. Haggard. This event will conclude the assembly. A chosen legion of honor for the queen is also a new feature. Those who will make up this legion are Mickey Smith, Bill' Junkin, Bill O'Neill, Bill Hatch, Frank Shiers, and Jim Junkin. Judging of the skits will be done by a secret committee of judges. Skits "have been submitted by sev-, eral men's houses: Hilltop, Edwards, and Daniels. Girls' houses having skits are Edens hall, Engers, and Downs. Clubs competing for honors are Blue Triangle, A. W. S., Valkyrie, Drama club, Alkisiah, Press club, and WRA.

Defeated, 18-13, by the Vikings in a kings-x battle early this season, the Wildcats will be out for revenge against the Blue and White squad. Coach Lappenbusch's boys feel they have a —: ; good: chance to give the Wildcats a second beating, however:" The Viking offensive machine showed some of its pre-seascn promise in the game against St. Martins, Friday. They pushed the Ranger team all over the field in the second half, and hope to do the same with EWC's eleven tomorrow. Viks in Shape Coach Lappenbusch expects all of his squad to be in shape for the battle as no serious injuries were incurred in the Ranger clash last week. Several members of the squad had slight colds this week but no complications were reported. The Vikings will field a more experienced squad against the Wildcats than they did in their first encounter, and show promise of staying out of their mid-season letdown.. Phil Sarboe, Ellensburg coach, has built the Wildcat attack around the famed T-formation. Variations of the Notre Dame box are also used, in addition to the T. The EWC backfield has been rated as one of the fastest in the country. "Clipper Carmody," left half, and Hal Berndt, right half, are both exceptionally fast backfield men. Mike Kuchera and Les fierry complete the speedy combination. All four of these men are credited with 10.1 and better in the 100-yard dash. Hal Berndt is rated the speediest of the quartet with a time of 9.8 in the century. Win Traditional Last Wildcat team to beat the Vikings on HOMECOMING day was (Continued on Page Five) Playing the leading role of Annabelle in the fall penthouse production, "George Was h i n g t o n Slept Here," is pretty CLINTA CAMPBELL, junior transfer from the University of Washington. The play opens the week after the Thanksgiving recess. Hoppe's Play To Open November 27 Campbell, Barron Featured As Leads in Fall Play; Penthouse Style Chosen Thursday, November 27, the WWC Division of Drama play "George Washington Slept Here" will open in Edens Hall Blue room. The play, which will run for four performances and will close on Saturday, November 29, is to be presented in penthouse style. Taking the feminine lead will be Clinta Campbell in the role of Annabelle Fuller. Mrs. Fuller, the wife with the biting tongue, comes to live in the broken-down farm house which her husband bought for her without her consent, a fact that she refuses to let anyone forget. Miss Campbell, in her first role at WWC, shows how Annabelle changes from a hot-tempered "country-hater" at the beginning, to a sentimental housewife who hates to leave her rustic house to go back to the elegant city apartment. Miss Campbell is new at WWC, having transferred from the University of Washington this year. During her four years at the University she was active in dramatics. Because she has come here from the University of Washington, Miss Campbell is well acquainted with penthouse theatre productions, which originated in that institution with Professor Glenn Hughes iow director of the drama division and formerly a WWC faculty member. '•'-.. Homecoming Scenes Adorn Houses Several organized houses have their displays and slogans ready to be judged today at 4:00, announce Frances Neevel and Lyle Messinger, co-chairmen of the house display Committee.

In the last two weks 3000 invitations have been sent out to grads over an area of many states, and to Alaska: It is expected that a large percentage of these people will respond, coming to the old Alma 'Mater for another look around. In fact, the halls of WWC* should echo : : to a thousand or so voices it hasn't Alumni Ball Featured Saturday Night Jack Burns Orchestra To Play; Graduates, Faculty Asked To Use West Door of PE Building Climaxing the reign of Queen Sigrid IV will be the Alumni ball, Saturday evening. From nine to twelve, students and grads of WWC will dance to the music of Jack Burns' eight-piece orchestra. Ber-nice Monson will be introduced as Queen Sigrid. - Graduates and faculty members are asked to go to the west door of the PE building; students and those having guest tickets will be admitted at the east door. Guest tickets will be sold in the ASB office this afternoon from 2 to .4 p. m., and tomorrow morning from 10 to 11:45 a. m. Returning graduates will be welcomed by Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Haggard, Dr. and Mrs. M. F. Kuder, Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Bond, Miss Alice Lorraine Powers, Miss Vivian Johnson, Miss Georgia Gragg, Dr. and Mrs. L. A. Kibbe, and Mr. and Mrs. L. McGee. • Intermission will be from 10:30 to 10:45. Punch will then be served downstairs in the gymnasium. Grim Meets Grads In Discussion Of Work Problems Through the field work this quarter of Dr. Paul R. Grim, junior high school social studies instructor, WWC is forming closer contact with grads in teaching positions. His duty is to visit novice teachers and thus learn what problems inexperienced teachers have to face when they leave the training school and its supervision. Dr. Grim gives a certain amount of direct assistance when possible; in some cases, on return visits, he takes with him some person from the training school who can act as an adviser to help work out special problems which the new teacher •might have. As a result of Dr. Grim's* field work, teachers in the campus school also correspond with former WWC students and give them whatever specific help they may need. known for a while. The first class to be graduated by . the Bellingham State Normal school received their teaching certificates in 1900. The Normal school officially opened, its doors in 1899; in those days one year of advanced work was sufficient to obtain a certificate to teach in the elementary schools of the state. The school's greatest enrollment came in the year before the conferring of life diplomas was ended. At that time the enrollment of the school approached the 1300 mark. All this from a start of 238 students, the total enrollment when classes were begun. Homecoming was instituted in 1924, when the list of grads was less than half its present length. There are at present upwards of 6000 graduates of WWC. Every year adds to that total, and each year Homecoming has come to mean more and more. This year bids fair to be the biggest and best of them all. The present group of uder-grads is anxious to make it just that, and they're set to entertain in royal style the "old guard." Norse March, Rally Tonite According to Art Stenson, co-chairman of the HOMECOMING rally committee, the HOMECOMING parade will begin tonight at 7 o'clock in front of Edens hail, go through the business district and. return to the school athletic field for the-bonfire. The line of march, led by a police escort, will form at Edens hall, serpentine down High and Holly street, from Holly to Bay street, circle around to Cornwall avenue and stop in front of the American theater, where yell leaders will lead the students in school yells. The parade will then turn up Holly street and return to the college athletic field for the HOMECOMING bonfire. Following the police escort will be the official cars carrying the queen and princesses. In addition, there will be the sound car, the «WW0 band, and students in cars and on foot, carrying lighted torches. On returning to school, the queen will light the bonfire prepared by the freshmen class, and then speeches by Mr. L. A. Kibbe, Dr; E. A. Bond, Captain Jim Hollings-worth, and Coach C. F. Lappenbusch will follow. After the singing of the Alma Mater, the crowd will then go to the main building for the HOMECOMING assembly. Theater Guild Play 'Jane Eyre' Well Received; Temple Stars By Ed Olson , With a well trained cast, exceptionally fine lighting effects and costuming," and a good stage setting, the Theatre Guild production f'Jane Eyre": had its first performance Wednesday, November 12. The play was well; worked out and in excellent shape for the opening night. Laurels go to Alyina Temple for her performance in the role of "Jane Eyre."

Be punctual; wait five minutes; and leave if she isn't ready. 6. Be sure you don't leave your pocketbook home in your other pants. 7. After you start, use your own discretion. Marquis of Queensberry rules to prevail. As a slight supplement to Mr. Shier's work, I would add the following comments: 1. Tell your date that you plan to spend no more than seventy-five cents (including tax) for the evening's entertainment. This includes incidentals such as gum, cigarettes, and cokes. 2. Expound the values of walking. 3. Tell her to wear her old clothes and then wear your " new suit so as to show yourself to advantage. 4. Be ten minutes late. You'll have to wait only fifteen minutes then, and she'll have time to finish her book and even comb her hair again. • Now that the war has become as familiar as an old sock and (Continued on Page Six) * * • DATELINE Friday, November 14 HOMECOMING serpentine parade, begins by Edens hall driveway, 7:00 p. m.

Defeated, 18-13, by the Vikings in a kings-x battle early this season, the Wildcats will be out for revenge against the Blue and White squad. Coach Lappenbusch's boys feel they have a —: ; good: chance to give the Wildcats a second beating, however:" The Viking offensive machine showed some of its pre-seascn promise in the game against St. Martins, Friday. They pushed the Ranger team all over the field in the second half, and hope to do the same with EWC's eleven tomorrow. Viks in Shape Coach Lappenbusch expects all of his squad to be in shape for the battle as no serious injuries were incurred in the Ranger clash last week. Several members of the squad had slight colds this week but no complications were reported. The Vikings will field a more experienced squad against the Wildcats than they did in their first encounter, and show promise of staying out of their mid-season letdown.. Phil Sarboe, Ellensburg coach, has built the Wildcat attack around the famed T-formation. Variations of the Notre Dame box are also used, in addition to the T. The EWC backfield has been rated as one of the fastest in the country. "Clipper Carmody," left half, and Hal Berndt, right half, are both exceptionally fast backfield men. Mike Kuchera and Les fierry complete the speedy combination. All four of these men are credited with 10.1 and better in the 100-yard dash. Hal Berndt is rated the speediest of the quartet with a time of 9.8 in the century.

The play opens the week after the Thanksgiving recess. Hoppe's Play To Open November 27 Campbell, Barron Featured As Leads in Fall Play; Penthouse Style Chosen Thursday, November 27, the WWC Division of Drama play "George Washington Slept Here" will open in Edens Hall Blue room. The play, which will run for four performances and will close on Saturday, November 29, is to be presented in penthouse style. Taking the feminine lead will be Clinta Campbell in the role of Annabelle Fuller. Mrs. Fuller, the wife with the biting tongue, comes to live in the broken-down farm house which her husband bought for her without her consent, a fact that she refuses to let anyone forget. Miss Campbell, in her first role at WWC, shows how Annabelle changes from a hot-tempered "country-hater" at the beginning, to a sentimental housewife who hates to leave her rustic house to go back to the elegant city apartment. Miss Campbell is new at WWC, having transferred from the University of Washington this year. During her four years at the University she was active in dramatics. Because she has come here from the University of Washington, Miss Campbell is well acquainted with penthouse theatre productions, which originated in that institution with Professor Glenn Hughes iow director of the drama division and formerly a WWC faculty member.

Grim Meets Grads In Discussion Of Work Problems Through the field work this quarter of Dr. Paul R. Grim, junior high school social studies instructor, WWC is forming closer contact with grads in teaching positions. His duty is to visit novice teachers and thus learn what problems inexperienced teachers have to face when they leave the training school and its supervision. Dr. Grim gives a certain amount of direct assistance when possible; in some cases, on return visits, he takes with him some person from the training school who can act as an adviser to help work out special problems which the new teacher •might have. As a result of Dr. Grim's* field work, teachers in the campus school also correspond with former WWC students and give them whatever specific help they may need. known for a while. The first class to be graduated by . the Bellingham State Normal school received their teaching certificates in 1900. The Normal school officially opened, its doors in 1899; in those days one year of advanced work was sufficient to obtain a certificate to teach in the elementary schools of the state. The school's greatest enrollment came in the year before the conferring of life diplomas was ended. At that time the enrollment of the school approached the 1300 mark. All this from a start of 238 students, the total enrollment when classes were begun. Homecoming was instituted in 1924, when the list of grads was less than half its present length. There are at present upwards of 6000 graduates of WWC. Every year adds to that total, and each year Homecoming has come to mean more and more. This year bids fair to be the biggest and best of them all. The present group of uder-grads is anxious to make it just that, and they're set to entertain in royal style the "old guard." Norse March, Rally Tonite According to Art Stenson, co-chairman of the HOMECOMING rally committee, the HOMECOMING parade will begin tonight at 7 o'clock in front of Edens hail, go through the business district and. return to the school athletic field for the-bonfire. The line of march, led by a police escort, will form at Edens hall, serpentine down High and Holly street, from Holly to Bay street, circle around to Cornwall avenue and stop in front of the American theater, where yell leaders will lead the students in school yells. The parade will then turn up Holly street and return to the college athletic field for the HOMECOMING bonfire. Following the police escort will be the official cars carrying the queen and princesses. In addition, there will be the sound car, the «WW0 band, and students in cars and on foot, carrying lighted torches. On returning to school, the queen will light the bonfire prepared by the freshmen class, and then speeches by Mr. L. A. Kibbe, Dr; E. A. Bond, Captain Jim Hollings-worth, and Coach C. F. Lappenbusch will follow. After the singing of the Alma Mater, the crowd will then go to the main building for the HOMECOMING assembly.
