the bottom of the column.
* * * * *
(With sincere apologies to Dr.
E. L. Thorndike.)

paid in cash, would you do, or have
the following things occur to you?
Enter the precise amount in the

in Edens hall at midnight,
February 28, 1936.
.5. Become blind in one eye in
such ,manner as not to affect
your appearance.
6. Study for two hours in the
library. ,
7. Leave your compact home
one day, or go without shav­ing
for two weeks.
8. When called upon say,
"Oh, nuts!" get up, and walk
out of class.
.9. Eat a dead beetle one inch
long.
10. Put the following in the
Viking: My name is .
My telephone number is

,.20. • Bring an apple to school
and give it to one of the profs
in front of the class. .
Don't go beyond here until you
have filled in the blanks.
* * * * *
Interpretation: 1. You should
charge more for the physical harm,
such as losing an arm, than for the
embarrassment items.
2. To get a D in student teaching
is the next most serious Item.
3. Such things as eating a dead
beetle or studying for two hours
should be done for a dollar or so.
4. Of course, to become a school
teacher would be extremely bad. It
would seem advisable to charge con­siderable
for such a catastrophe, as
you would need, the money to live on
after you adopted the profession. .
Cowboy Songs,
Music Feature
• In Winter Play
Swanson and Scott Take Leads
For Drama Production
This, Winter
Cowboy songs—old and senti­mental—
will be featured in the pro­duction
of "Green Grow the Li­lacs",
the winter quarter drama.
Sixteen cowboys and farm girls ac­companied
by a hill-billy band, un­der
the direction of Nils Boson of
the Music department, will sing such
ballads as "Goodbye, Old Paint",
"Blood on the Saddle", and "Home
on the Range".
Leads Sing
Helen Scott, who- plays the part
of "Laurey Williams", and Boyd
Swanson, who plays "Curly Mc-
Lain", both have singing parts. Al­most
everyone in the cast sings or
makes an attempt to sing.
The title of the play itself was
taken from an old cowboy ballad of
that name.
"This drama is one of the few au­thentic
western folk stories that we
have", said V. H. Hoppe, the play
director. "It is full of robust hu­mor,
written in the provincial speech
of the Indian territory in the nine­ties.
Phonetically it is an interest­ing
transcription of early western
speech".
"Green Grow the Lilacs" was suc­cessfully
produced by the Theater
guild three seasons ago. Playing in
London this fall, the drama is one of
the few westerns to captivate Brit­ish
fancy.

featuring the sculptures of Eliza­beth
Hazeltine and Frederick C
Hibbard of Chicago.
Miss Hazeltine was born in Port­land,
and attended art school there,
where she was the room-mate o.
Hazel Plympton, Art instructor here.
They began teaching together a
Duluth where Miss Hazeltine was
appointed head of the Art depart­ment
and Miss Plympton served
as assistant supervisor. After she
became more interested in sculp­ture
she began teaching the chil­dren's
and evening classes at the
Chicago Art Institute. While still
studying there she was awarded a
$1,000 scholarship to *be spent in"
Europe. In Paris she began work­ing
directly in stone and wood,

Brought Before Executives;
Funds Asked
Advancing $30 in order that five
students may attend the Internat-onal
Relations conference March
20 and 21 and defeating the pro­posal
that a boxing ring be pur­chased,
the Board of Control met
Wednesday after school. Truman
Kennedy, boxing instructor, an­nounced
that though a ring could be
bought at a bargain there is no
room for it in the school building.
By taking a car, five delegates
instead of only two will be able
to make the trip to the club con­ference,
according to Miss Nora B.
Cummins, club advisor. President
Mon Orloff pointed out that these
delegates would report £heir exper­iences
at the first student assembly
of the spring quarter.
Printing Discussed
With the consent of the Board,
President Orloff will investigate the
costs of installing a printshop in the/
main building. As manager of the
tennis team, Orloff suggested that
the Board appropriate money for
equipment so that members of the
team will not be subject to personal
expense.
Lack of facilities for baseball
were mentioned but* the Board ex­pressed
dsire to strengthen this
sport'. Mabel Rolle will report at
next week's meeting on the proposed
substitute for a Student Union
building.. It is thought a house
near the campus majr ne rented for
this purpose.

To Be Held February 29
"Do you think
To find a woman without any fault?
Or is't because the men are ne'er to
blame?"
Faults or no faults, women have
the opportunity once in four years
to take the initiative. An ideal sit­uation
is offered at the "leap year"
sophomore party to be held Satur­day
evening at 8:00 p. m.,. Febru­ary
29, in the Big gym.
Co-chairmen of the event, Marge
Osier and Steve Turk urge every
Normal student to keep February 29
open in his date book. To the wom­en
Marge confides, "It's a chance
in four years". To the men Steve
admonishes, "Give the girls a break".
Even the Big gym will be trans­formed
into a glamorous abode with
"spots" and decorations according
to the co-chairmen. "Since the
treasury reports $36", Steve adds,
"refreshments will be served".

High School Leaders
To Convene With WL
Violinist Is Presented
By Civic Music Group
Bronislaw Huberman, violinist
who will appear as the Civic Music
association artist March 16 in the
auditorium of the First Presbyter­ian
church, is one of the best of the
contemporary * musicians, according
to many critics. He ranks 'with
Fritz Kfeisler and Jascha Heif itz in
ability and was soloist with the Ber­lin
Philharmonic orchestra for sev­eral
years. Born in Poland, this is
his second trip to the United States.
Work Covered With Attention On
Two Major Phases
"Industrial arts 60, formerly given
as one course covering two phases
of instruction, will in the future be
given as two courses, industrial arts
60 and 61," says Miss Charlotte B.
Richardson, industrial arts instruc­tor.
"We feel that the work, which
covers preparation for both primary
and intermediate grade instruction,
merits more attention in each
phase, and this cannot be given in a
single course, necessarily limited in
time."
Pottery, Bookmaking Taught
Industrial arts 60 will include a
study of pottery during the first
weeks, and a. study of books and rec­ords
from the standpoint of bind­ing,
bookmaking, and general pre­paration
during the latter weeks.
Handwork in both studies will be
stressed preparing the student for
work in primary classrooms without
the need of tools.
Industrial arts 61 will include
work with tools and machines, and
is designed to give the student prac­tical
experience in woodworking and
the handling of tools and materials.
Pupils Gain Wide Experience
"Two courses in the place of one
will give the student a much wider
experience both in working with
tools and without," Miss Richard­son
states. "This will be much more
beneficial to him in starting out
into the field of school teaching."

Weythman Attends
Athletic Convention
As representative of Bellingham
Normal, Miss Ruth Weythman, of
the women's physical education de­partment,
is attending the North­west
District of the American Phy­sical
Education association meeting
in Portland, today and tomorrow.
Miss Weythman remarked that a
varied and interesting program was
arranged. This morning an oppor­tunity
for visiting the various
schools in Portland is being offered
and in the afternoon open sessions
will be held for discussion this eve­ning.
As chairman of the Constitutional
Revision committee, Miss Weythman
will report on that subject.

W Club Members
Talk Over Smoker
That the W club smoker would
take place either March 6 or 13, was
decided at the W club meting Tues­day
night. Although few members
showed up for the club meeting, it
was decided that an attempt would
be made to secure the Liberty hall,
from the American Legion, in which
to stage the fight.
In case the hall is used there
will be a small charge to the public
as the boys say they expect to put
up a good battle.
Lappenbusch Takes Eight Players
On Annual Hunting Trip
For Savages
Dzeidzic Unable To Go
Vander Griend Will Check West
In Tomorrow's Battle
In an unusually rough game, the
Bellingham Vikings lost the first
game of their Eastern conquest
when the Ellensburg Wildcats eked
out a 22 to 20 win. The game was
played in Ellensburg last night. The
Vikings had another of their usual
off nights.
With eight men and a manager,
Coach Chuck Lappenbusch boarded
a train Wednesday noon for a four
day trip in Eastern Washington.
Although this sounds like a society
note, Lappenbusch has keyed his
men to an entirely different state of
mind in an attempt to take the Vi­kings'
,,- two eastern rivals, Cheney
and Ellensburg.
The Vikings played Ellensburg last
night and will have a two day rest
before they come up against Red
Reese's Cheney Savages.
Captain Shel Stutz, Bob Pence,
and Chet Dombroski made the trip
as guards, Bud VanderGriend, Jerry
Pence, Dick Carver, and Phil Tnypan
as forwards, and Bob Phair as cen­ter.
For the Cheney game, the coach
plans to match speed with speed and
let VanderGriend check the: speedy
little Savage forward, Bert West.
West proved to be the sparkplug of
the Cheney quintet in their recent
invasion.

Ability of Fathers of Country
Subject of Much Discussion
Citizens of the United States celebrate the birthday anniversary of
George Washington, American national hero, and "first citizen" tomor­row,
February 22. j
Few periods in bur history have
seen such discussion concerning the
ability and foresight of the fathers
of this country as has been wit­nessed
during the past year. The
constitution and organization of.
our cpuntry have been the subject
of study and constant, criticism.
Many modern statesmen believe
that the constitution is no longer
able to fulfill its purpose as the
first law of the land and others,
have made a vigorous defense of its
value/ In view of these facts many
debunkers are inclined'-ito?- under-c

of the statesmen who brought the
American nation into being and
who are not only among the great­est
in our annals but among the
world's best.
No doubt can exist as to genius
and greatness of the man whose
anniversary the nation is about to
celebrate. Washington accomplish­ed
almost superhuman tasks in or­ganizing
men, enlisted for only a
few months at a time, into a mili­tary
machine; he carried on to the
