Washington, D. C. dition and fol-jnly

f o o t s t eps of
his illustrious Republican relative?
This question is bothering a num­ber
of dark horses and potential
candidates, for it is hinted that un­der
certain conditions, Franklin D.
Roosevelt MIGHT overlook the pre­cedent
set by Washington and ac-cept
the nomination for a third
term-
Mrs. Roosevelt says she hopes
he wont. His popular* relative,
Theodore Roosevelt, tried it and
succeeded only in electing his Dem­ocratic
opponent. Upon direct
Questioning in regard to his attitude
franklin Roosevelt showed distinct
signs of rage and refused to answer;

last Friday was short lived
^;^iid a bigger and better war is en-
"suing. The Japanese demands are
four: "Withdraw all troops from the
*rea of hostilities; punish troops
field responsible for the oubreak;
end anti-Japanese activities; sup­port
Japan's anti-Communism cam­paign/'
%w "Our rights must be respected,"
Hirota told assembled Japanese
lords. "When China returns to
normal We will withdraw the rein­forcements."
:.••; In other words—let's be Japanese.
iTHE IRISH IN THEM D i s ap -
Dublin, Ireland pointing to
July 7 p resident
Earn on de
Valera were the results of the cur­rent
Irish election which left him
without even a simple majority over
the other parties. The president
had appealed to the country not to
send him back to power unless they
gave him a comfortable majority
over other parties so that he could
put the new constitution into effect
and complete its economic and po­litical
policies in the next five years.
Early returns looked like a land­slide
for the de Valera party but
eleventh hour losses changed the
picture. It is predicted that de Va­lera
may go to the country again in
1938 unless he can arrange a satis­factory
alliance with the Labor
party.
World Record Although fog
March Field, Calif, forced them back
July 14 from the Mexican
border to a San
Jacinto pasture landing, three So­viet
airmen succeeded in setting a
new world record for distance fly­ing.
Starting at Moscow, the jlyers
zourse lay over the Pole and south
ilong the coastline.
Pilot Mfltafail Gromoff, co-pilot
Andrei Yumosheff and Navigator
Sergei Danilin are the heroes. Fol­lowing
so closely on the Moscow-to-
Vaneouver flight, the Russians are
pnfeaMy getting lew attention than
their really epochal flight should
have earned for then.
Piatt Awarded
One Year's
Leave-Absence
Science Instructor Plans
To Study at Berkeley
Miss Ruth Piatt, science instruc­tor,
will have a year's leave of ab­sence
at the end of her summer
work. She has applied for admit­tance
to the School of Science at
the University of California at
Berkeley in September.
Miss Piatt expects to take ad­vanced
work in genetics, paleontol­ogy,
and biology.
An interesting feature of her stay
in Berkeley is the fact that she will
live at International house. There
are but three of these fraternal
houses in the United States; one
at Berkeley, Columbia, and Chica­go.
They were built through grants
from the Rockefeller, Jr., founda­tion
and are open to foreign and
graduate-students as places of res­idence.
"International house at
Berkeley is typically oriental, which
will be a source of additional inter­est
to me," remarked Miss Piatt. -
She will attend the University
for the school year 1937-1938 and
return to her classes a* WWC next
summer.

'Robin Hood' Walks
Again At WWC
In School Drama!
Robin Hood came to life this
morning at 9:00 a. m. in the Cam­pus
Elementarly school assembly
under the dramatization of the
eighth grade pupils. The fifth
grade, joint sponsors of the day's
program, illustrated;. the story ,of
how man learned to talk and write.
To illustrate the highwayman's
characteristics, the eighth grade
children selected and dramatized
two incidents of Robin Hood's life.
The choice of their assembly theme
was the indirect result of a study
unit on England. The project began
with the reading of The Observer,
a London newspaper. In one of
the issues was published a map of
the British Isles, around which were
pictures of England's famous char­acters.
Such a map provided inspi­ration
for research work in the
children's library. The reading pro­gressed
to a study of ballads, among
which was Robin Hood.
Fifth graders were also sharing
their quarter's experience in the so­cial
science with their school­mates.
One boy presented the story
of the alphabet. The class in gen­eral
explained the earliest means of
communication and illustrated their
work with shell, string, picture, and
stick messages.

left the campus at 7 o'clock this

a ride to Glacier and a nine-mile

mountain and begin the 6,500-foot
ascent to its peak. When they
reach the mountain top. the

As Extras
In 'Barrier' Film
Jack Carver, sports editor; War­ren
Toms, feature writer; Harry
Kluge, former editor; and Helen
Boothe, former business manager
of the Viking staff, are numbered
among the Barrier's extras. The
WWC students begin work at Mt.
Baker Monday morning.
Although its chief residents, Jean
Parker and Jimmy Ellison, are be­ing
besieged by autograph hounds,
no attempt has been made to ex­clude
visitors from that recently
created village, Flambeau. However,
visitors must maintain absolute sil­ence.
The village, located at Mt. Baker
Lodge, is a movie-set built for the
filming of "The Barrier." One of
the best known novels of Rex Beach,
"The Barrier" deals with early days
of the Alaska gold rush. Mt. Baker
was chosen for the locale by pro­ducer
Harry Sherman when he vis­ited
Bellingham some weeks ago.
Leslie Selander, one of Hollywood's
best known directors, and ace-cam­eraman
George Barnes, will direct
and head the technical staff of the
production.
