Disarmament Meeting: Before Yon Vote For Officers Wednesday For Gosh Sakcs! Lookit the Ads The Manager Sold VOL. XXXVI--NQ, 15 Live And Learn -By Don Gooding. Shades of Grandpa! Reminiscent of better and older times was the hdrse-drawh cutter taking advantage of the icy condition of downtown streets the other day. Years ago the place was swarming with them, and.unless you had the agility of an adagio addict, your life was at stake out-of-doors. * * * * * Some industrious, downtrodden politician should take advantage of the present session of the state's legislature and introduce a measure which would ultimately cause streetcars to chase potential riders instead of vice versa, as the system is now run. Then we could be sure in saying that politics are worthwhile. One not-too-well known col-league of yours has estimated his chasing distance at two miles per month, a goodly ^average. During tlito tlnje, Jtwo local sprint records were fatally; hent,. along.; w i th three garbage, cans, a bunch of pedestrians, and sundry other objects unavoidable at the time. And all because of a girl. Goodness! * * * * * Detroit moralists were given a seoere jolt one morning when they read of a judicial scandal whch somehow had escaped their notice. Two bedraggled prisoners had been led before the court and asked to take the usual oath. At the point where their hands were in.the air, the two gentlemen's trousers, pants to you, slid, downward, sending the courtroom into hysteria. The department was commended for its diligent searching but was requested to leave all belts, suspenders, and other supports on the immediate persons of all future defendants. * * * * * Speaking of legislation, it might be well to note that a bill has just been introduced in the halls of the state Congress which will change the names of the three Washington Normal from WSNS to Western Washington College of Education for our Normal, Eastern Washington for Cheney, and Central Washington for KUensburg. Headed by Whatcom's Senator Roland, 16 other lawmakers are united in an effort to force this measure through. * * * * * The movement was given impetus last Homecoming game when Governor Martin made some remark about Coach Lappenbusch's College of Education posters which set the pot boiling. So, getting together with the other Normal heads, President Fisher, who has been in Olympia this week,, began the task of convincing legislators of the merits of such a change, and judging by the present results, he was highly successful. WSCE, is here we come!! * * * * * YE OLDE CONGRESS They dined a bit, and wined a bit Adopted many motions The chief thing they accomplished was To scatter kindly notions. They differed as to methods They disagreed on ends The happy termination Was They parted wiser friends. As a result of Governor Lehman's last minute leniency, seven more prisoners will board at the expense of the State of New York, for the remainder of their lives. These same commutations of sentence will also save the taxpayers over $1000 in execution fees. Instead of $900 for six executions, official executioner Robert Elliot received but $300 for two, in place of $600 for four, only $150 for one. The question is, did the state gain anything? Perhaps some of you noticed the hne in last week's story of "Much Ado About Nothing,'' in which some industrious reporter tried to launch Monday into a lengthy rehearsal session lasting until late in March. He jaeant well, anyhow. Vander Griend, Zylstra Win In Primaries Lund* Tomco Ate Selected un Reps Annual Representatives. On the Campus Voted Wednesday In Elections Big Percentage Votes Prizes Awarded Victorious Pair, Subscriptions To Life Florence Lund and Ed Tomco have been elected most representative woman and man in Bellingham Normal's student election held last Wednesday in the Men's club room. This election is sponsored yearly by Normal's annual, the Klipsun. Miss Lund, prominent in school affairs, was president of the student body last quarter. She was also student body vice-president for four quarters and is one of those whose influence has put the Blue Triangle on the map. Miss Lund graduated from Everett high school in 1932 and is now in her ninth quarter at Normal. Tomco, the most representative man, is a two-year letterman on the football team and was this last season elected captain by his mates. Hailing from Seattle and a junior at present, Tomco attended the University of Washington as a freshman where he made the Frosh football squad. He is the second of the Tomcos to attend Normal, his brother Mike having played football under Lappenbusch three years ago. The men candidates nominated were: Ed Tomco, Chet Ullin, and Dick Carver; the women candidates were Florence Lund, Kathryn Hatch, and Margaret Thon. Of the 410 ballots cast in the election 385 votes were polled in the popularity contest. As prizes for the winners sub scriptions to the Life magazine will be presented. Their pictures will be featured in the 1937 Klipsun. This is the fifth annual most representative man and woman contest sponsored by the yearbook. The winners were in past years as follows: 1933, Doris McElmon and Vernon Leatha; 1934, Harriet Rick-erson and Otto Pinley; 1935 Christine Albers and Tony Zambas; 1936, Joan Hoppe and Bud VanderGriend. Sea Salts Extraction Told at Rotary Club Luncheon by Philippi "Useful products," said Professor H. C. Philippi, of the Bellingham Normal school chemistry department, before the Rotary club meeting in the Leopold hotel last Monday, "are being extracted from the sea for man's use in large quantities at the present time." "Of the 60 quadrillion tons of salt in the 450,000,000 cubic miles of water that covers the earth's surface," he continued, "three-fourths is common salt. Magnesium follows with two and a half quadrillion tons and then, in brder, are calcium, potassium, and bromine.' "The running short of bromine was the cause of scientists starting after materials," Mr. Philippi went on to explain. In 1924 the total amount of bromine used was 2,000,- 000 pounds per year, chiefly consumed in photography, dyes and drugs. By 1924 consumption of bromine, due to the increased use of Ethyl gasoline, had gone up to 9,000,000 pounds per year, ethyline dibronide and lead tetraethyl being used in preparing the gasoline. Up to this time all bromine was taken from salt wells in Michigan. Dupont's Experiment Since 1934 the Ethyl Gasoline corporation and the Duponts set up a floating experimental laboratory and, though their engineers were very poor sailors, they proved bromine could be extracted from the sea. Another company, the Dow Chemical Company, put up a plant on land. With the help of the United States 'Geodetic survey they finally built a plant to extract 15,000 pounds per day. This plant, built to extract bromine and then manufacture ethyline dlbromide, was finished in five months. The only other industry of this kind in the United States is on the coast south of San Francisco and produces Vienna Choir Boys Valentine Informal Headed by Pulver Women's League .. Choosts Hotel Leopold for Informal Sponsored by the Women's league, the annual Valentine informal will be held in the Crystal ballroom of the Hotel Leopold on,the evening of February 6. Martha Lou Pulver, general chairman of the dance, ap pointed committees and the list was posted on the Women's league bulle tin board. At the meeting of the committee chairmen Tuesday, it was decided to use the valentine motif and to make the dance a yearly tradition. Decorations will; carry the Valeh tine idea throughout. The committee also decided that the women will invite the men and purchase the tickets. Appointed by Miss Pulver were the following committee chairmen: Marian Rhodes, publicity; Alma Carr, programs; Pauline Barnes, decorations; Arlene Dickinson, refreshments; Lili Brown, patrons; Katherine Kobervig, entertainment; Helen Masters, properties. "In order to arrange for the perfect dance, it is necessary for the girls to sign the list on the bulletin board as soon as possible," Miss Pulver stated. The orchestra has not been selected as yet. YWCA Conference Set Back Until Next Week Scheduled for the latter part of this week, the annual Normal school Bible Institute sponsored by the YWCA has been postponed to next week, January 28-31 inclusive. Postponement was due to weather conditions which made it impossible for speakers to make the trip from Seattle. Meetings next week will begin Thursday at 4:00 p. m. From then on the meeting schedule will be as follows: Friday, 1:00, 4:00, 7:30; Saturday, 2:30; and Sunday, 2:30. Among the outstanding speakers invited are Mrs. Kenneth Colman, of Seattle, a leader of state Christian Endeavor work, and Mrs. J.

'"••. Vienna Singers Due Wednesday Civic Music Association Gives An Opportunty To Hear Choir In Concert Normal school students will have the opportunity to hear the Vienna Choir boys sing in the Normal auditorium on Wednesday evening, January 27, at 8:15. 375 seats will be available for Normal school students. Tickets may be obtained by presenting student membership card at.the Co-op on Monday or Tuesday, January 25 and 26. The program is being given under the auspices of the Bellingham, Civic Music association. : Five hundred years a&o when the members of the Vienna Choir boys were accustomed to visit the house of a feudal lord, they traveled along the Austrian highways in donkey carts. Today the representatives of that ancient and venerable institution speed along concrete highways from city to city in,a highpowered bus. Thus will the choir boys arrive in Bellingham, accompanied by Rector Schnitt, musical director Gru-ber and nurse Muhlbacher, who watches over their food and clothing. She prepares special food for the young troopers. Sports Appeal The Vienna Choir boys of today are a healthy, play-loving aggregation. They are devoted to basketball, swimming and soccer. They •love concerts, symphony performances, and chamber music, but they cannot make out the American comic sections. They prefer our American rotogravure section full of pictures of aviators, ships, and the modern" inventions in the field of transportation..-. Although "the boys recently appeared in a Hollywood film under the direction of Norman Taurog, they do not favor American movies. The language barrier is too much for them, but whenever they are able to find a German film, they whoop with joy. The Vienna Choir boys are on their fifth concert tour of America. o Library Will Take Poll To Find Most Popular Articles Among Students What is the best magazine article you have read during the last two weeks? You'd better be thinking about it-, for you'll soon have the chance to compare it with those selected by other students. To help all students in the school become better acquainted with current literature on all phases of life, the library is planning next week to start a poll to ascertain what articles appeal to the students. Appearing on the bookcase in the reserve room are lists compiled by a Council of Librarians of the American Library association, with their selections of the ten best magazine articles of each month. These may be used as a basis of comparison, or to suggest further reading for the students. Faculty members as well as students are invited to contribute then-selections in a box which will be placed in the reserve room of the library. Every two weeks the results will be tabulated and a list posted. o Cubs Taken Again News Hawks Turn On Heat; Four Initiates Survive Once more the time rolled around when the Northwest Viking cub reporters were sent through that gruelling ordeal at the hands of the merciless news hawks. Down at the old Miller & Sutherlen haunt, the hopefuls were driven through Terror Gulch and introduced to the mossy log. Then to the ones who fetill survived, the chairman pulled some other bloodcurdling tricks from up his sleeve and gave it to 'em. Betty .Howell, Pat Green, JanieS Hanson, Gus Gissberg, and Jack Carver wjere the initiates. Zylstra, Vander Griend Selected • * * *•* •** In Presidential Primary; Will Run Off Contest In Finals Wednesday Bushell Receives Only Majority Given Candidates; Chorvat and Lammers Beat Soukup in Close Race For Vice-president Nomination; 410 Students Vote Election Returns President Zylstra 184 Vander Griend 98 Siemons 70 Packler :........ 42 Vice-president Chorvat 159 Lammers 126 Soukup ........106 Representative Boal - 180 Perkins 130 Hinchliffe ., 77 Representative Wilson 185 Swisher :........... 131 Reasoner 69 Klipsun Well Under Way, Reports Thon Winter Scenes, Basketball Squad Already Photographed "The views or the opening section of the Klipsun.have been taken and; work on:the irest of the book is wejr under way," reports Margaret Thon, editor of Normals 1937 annual. During the next week the fall andj winter snapshot pages will be com-j pleted and students who wish to contribute collegiate pictures for this section may do so during that time. Pictures may be submitted to staff photographers Mickey Dickinson, Warren Toms, and Don Reeves; assistant editor, Lucille Lee; or to the editor. A box for snapshots has also been placed on the main landing for student use. ' Juniors and seniors who were not in school fall quarter and wish to have their pictures in the Klipsun must have them taken as soon as possible at Sandison's studio, above Woolworth's store. Appointments may be made at the studio or in the Klipsun office. Individual and squad basketball pictures were taker*, Monday under the -direction of sports editor, Clarence Soukup. Shots of the intramural champs and foul shot winner are the next pictures to be taken to complete the action. Valkyrie Dinner To Be Held for New Initiates Names of Don Zylstra and Clara Vander Griend will be placed on the election ballots next Wednesday in the final election for president of the associated students. These two students won the primary election with comparative ease over Alice -Siemons and Mildred Packler. Frank Chorvat and Louise Lammers were judged finalists in the vice-prexy race. Virgie Boal and Margaret Perkins will run off the woman representative contest, while the winners in the man or woman representative election will be Betty Swisher and Don Wilson. Mr, Don Bushell received the only majority and was named faculty representative to the Board of Control. Final tabulations revealed that the primary drew the votes of 60 per cent of the students. A larger percentage is forecast in the finals when four new officers will be named. The total vote numbered 410. Zylstra Holds Lead Zylstra polled a substantial lead, over the women candidates with 184 votes against Miss Vander Griend's total ,ot 98. / :;' •.;-->,'•'.'- Evidently the determined opinion that Chorvat "would find out where the money went" earned him a way into the vice-presidency finals. Chorvat's opponent will be Miss Lammers, who edged out Clarence Soukup, the other nominee. This was the closest contest on the ballot. Wilson Gets Votes Wilson received the largest number of votes given any student, although he failed to gain the majority necessary for election. Betty Swisher will be paired against Wilson for the position of man or woman representative to the control board. Eleanor Reasoner was the eliminated candidate. The largest number of votes cast in the race of woman representative was received by Miss Boal, with Miss Perkins exactly 50 votes behind. Sybil Hinchliffe was eliminated by placing third. Beverly Holiday, acting vice-president, had charge of the election and was assisted by Bertha Smith. The voting machines were procured from city officials and were placed in the Men's club room. — o —-. New Valkyrie club members will be initiated at a banquet at the Bellingham hotel next Tuesday evening. Initiates are: Eleanor Reasoner, Helen Westlake, Rae Crandel, Clara Vander Griend, Betty Swisher, Margaret Thon, and Rena Barr. Mary Johnston, club program chairman, and Elsabelle Cruttenden, social chairman, have charge of plans for the affair. Miss Johnston will be assisted by Helen Boothe and Marge Osier. Other members of the social committee are Jeanne Borgstedt and Betty Franklin. The banquet wiil start at 6 o'clock and will be followed by a program in which new members will take part. o— Wilhelmine Docherty Is Secretary for Hopper Miss Wilhelmine Docherty was recently appointed secretary to Miss Elizabeth Hopper of the Normal Appointment bureau.

Vienna Singers Due Wednesday Civic Music Association Gives An Opportunty To Hear Choir In Concert Normal school students will have the opportunity to hear the Vienna Choir boys sing in the Normal auditorium on Wednesday evening, January 27, at 8:15. 375 seats will be available for Normal school students. Tickets may be obtained by presenting student membership card at.the Co-op on Monday or Tuesday, January 25 and 26. The program is being given under the auspices of the Bellingham, Civic Music association. : Five hundred years a&o when the members of the Vienna Choir boys were accustomed to visit the house of a feudal lord, they traveled along the Austrian highways in donkey carts. Today the representatives of that ancient and venerable institution speed along concrete highways from city to city in,a highpowered bus. Thus will the choir boys arrive in Bellingham, accompanied by Rector Schnitt, musical director Gru-ber and nurse Muhlbacher, who watches over their food and clothing. She prepares special food for the young troopers. Sports Appeal The Vienna Choir boys of today are a healthy, play-loving aggregation. They are devoted to basketball, swimming and soccer. They •love concerts, symphony performances, and chamber music, but they cannot make out the American comic sections. They prefer our American rotogravure section full of pictures of aviators, ships, and the modern" inventions in the field of transportation..-. Although "the boys recently appeared in a Hollywood film under the direction of Norman Taurog, they do not favor American movies. The language barrier is too much for them, but whenever they are able to find a German film, they whoop with joy. The Vienna Choir boys are on their fifth concert tour of America. o Library Will Take Poll To Find Most Popular Articles Among Students What is the best magazine article you have read during the last two weeks? You'd better be thinking about it-, for you'll soon have the chance to compare it with those selected by other students. To help all students in the school become better acquainted with current literature on all phases of life, the library is planning next week to start a poll to ascertain what articles appeal to the students. Appearing on the bookcase in the reserve room are lists compiled by a Council of Librarians of the American Library association, with their selections of the ten best magazine articles of each month. These may be used as a basis of comparison, or to suggest further reading for the students. Faculty members as well as students are invited to contribute then-selections in a box which will be placed in the reserve room of the library. Every two weeks the results will be tabulated and a list posted. o Cubs Taken Again News Hawks Turn On Heat; Four Initiates Survive Once more the time rolled around when the Northwest Viking cub reporters were sent through that gruelling ordeal at the hands of the merciless news hawks. Down at the old Miller & Sutherlen haunt, the hopefuls were driven through Terror Gulch and introduced to the mossy log. Then to the ones who fetill survived, the chairman pulled some other bloodcurdling tricks from up his sleeve and gave it to 'em. Betty .Howell, Pat Green, JanieS Hanson, Gus Gissberg, and Jack Carver wjere the initiates.

Valkyrie Dinner To Be Held for New Initiates Names of Don Zylstra and Clara Vander Griend will be placed on the election ballots next Wednesday in the final election for president of the associated students. These two students won the primary election with comparative ease over Alice -Siemons and Mildred Packler. Frank Chorvat and Louise Lammers were judged finalists in the vice-prexy race. Virgie Boal and Margaret Perkins will run off the woman representative contest, while the winners in the man or woman representative election will be Betty Swisher and Don Wilson. Mr, Don Bushell received the only majority and was named faculty representative to the Board of Control. Final tabulations revealed that the primary drew the votes of 60 per cent of the students. A larger percentage is forecast in the finals when four new officers will be named. The total vote numbered 410. Zylstra Holds Lead Zylstra polled a substantial lead, over the women candidates with 184 votes against Miss Vander Griend's total ,ot 98. / :;' •.;-->,'•'.'- Evidently the determined opinion that Chorvat "would find out where the money went" earned him a way into the vice-presidency finals.

The largest number of votes cast in the race of woman representative was received by Miss Boal, with Miss Perkins exactly 50 votes behind. Sybil Hinchliffe was eliminated by placing third.
