THE BUSY DRONE
By Pat Allan
Minnesota, Miss Emma Erick^
son's publicized birthplace, has
an up-and-coming Medical as­sociation.
That alert body has
just announced that the average
citizen's chance of observing his
golden wedding anniversary is
one in six!

Constructive medical discoveries
(at NYU, not Minnesota) by Dr.
Maurice Brodie of the New York
City Department of Health, led to
the successful vaccination of 300
New York school children for dread
infantile paralysis.
Ecce Minnesota; ecce New York.
B.S.N.S.
The serum developed by Dr. Bro­die,
while not yet proven to be 100
per cent effective, is a sure step
in the right direction. No longer
need the disease be feared as pre­saging
almost certain disablement
or death.
B.S.N.S.
Thus progresses science, slowly
but certainly making his physical
environment safe for man, and man
is content.
Different is his attitude toward
his economic environment. Witness
wars, revolutions. In most cases
these festers on the body of hu­manity
result from man's unrelent­ing
desire to possess the things he
wants NOW, ultimately from his
stupid insistence that he is alone
in his desire to possess, his refusal
to acknowledge that his children's
children will want as well as he,
than mankind is more important
than man.
Sound like William Randolph,
don't I? And Time. Inc.

Cordon Richardson, Co-op in­vestigator,
newly hired vendor there,
and Board secretary, is the unknown
quantity in the election. Undoubt­edly
he is waiting to throw his po­litical
support where it will be sure
to net him still another job abut
school.
B.S.N.S.
Aspirants for politico-dictator on
the hill are due to be raked over
the hotties in the pending nominat­ing
convention. Rumor has it that
the final heat will see leftwing Mil-likan,
rightwing Hager and centrist
Hartley taking the last hurdle in
a near-tie. Hager's loud-voiced in-tentions
to withdraw from the race
smell of a campaign stunt for pub­licity,
but there is certainty that
Millikan's intramural class struggle
will be carried to the finish. Hart­ley,
Irish to the core, gets his cam­paign
directions straight from Tam­many-
fed anti^Shaffers whose eyes
dilate at the mere mention of that
Little Huey Long on Sehome.

Lea Fills Place
On Library Staff
Former Student Takes Position at
Library Circulation Desk;
Farlow Resigns
Marion E. Lea, a student of
the Normal school for the past
three quarters and a former stu­dent
at the U. of W., has been
appointed to take the place of Miss
LaVerne Farlow in the circulation
department at the library.
Miss Farlow resigned during the
holidays to accept a position as
teacher and librarian in a Seattle
public school. President C. H. Fish­er
spoke very highly of Miss Far-low,
saying that she was accom­modating
to everyone and always
had a cheerful spirit in serving both
students and faculty. Miss Farlow
had been on the school library staff
since the fall of 1929.
Miss Lea received her library ex­perience
by doing part-time work

University Musician
Will Sing Tuesday
Frederick William Zimmerman
will appear in a concert of German
lieder in assembly Tuesday, Jan­uary
15.
Mr. Zimmerman was first, of all
the musicians resident today in Se­attle
,to teaoh and to appear pro^
fessionally in that city. He still
retains the charm of address and
the vocal ability to give a success­ful
recital. As the first vocal
teacher, first glee club coach at the
University of Washington and also
as a musician and artist, Mr. Zim­merman
comes with fine "musician-ly"
knowledge and artistic sensi­tivity.
Critics regard him as an authori­tative
interpreter of German lyr-
Another Quarter Begins With Equal
Resolutions Concerning Equal Affairs
By Nelson Ault
With about 700 students back to break their New Year's resolutions the
first week, another quarter begins. All the old worries are over, except
perhaps for a few grades, and a new set is coming up. The two short
weeks of vacation seem like years; watching the students greet each other
on the first day of school one would suppose that each had been absent
for something just short of a decade.
Library is jammed, at least tem­porarily
with students who are turn­ing
over new leaves. Groups of
co-eds clutter the halls, buzzing
about what old Saint Nick dropped
down their chimneys, and wasn't
that a funny looking dress So-and-
So got for Christmas—I wouldn't
say anything but she's such an aw­ful
cat, and so on.
Accountants are wearing a har­ried
look and the lines of fee paying
students grow longer with each
passing hour. Deans' offices are
jammed—could I change my course?
—I have a conflict—couldn't I pos^
sibly get that at 10?
Teachers, too, look worried; over­crowded
classes, new faces, courses
—students blundering in and out
hunting for their classes—a new
batch of freshmen.
Howls of high glee from the direc­tion
of the dorm—sophisticated co­eds
imitating two-year-olds. Mighty
crowds of youths and maidens mak­ing
merry while having their even­ing
coke or cup of coffee. Animated
discussions of everything from the
Carioca to Einstein's theory—what
is the world coining to, with So-and-
So dragging an A in student
teaching? Another quarter has be­gun.
New Recreation
Presented for
Winter Quarter
Wide Variations in Games Planned
For Members of the
Student Body
Program to be Formulated
Committee Convenes To Organize
The Entire Program
A better and more varied recrea­tional
program. That is what the
recreational committee is working
for. The group hopes to establish
a program for all students of the
school; in which all can partici­pate.
A varied selection of games has
been chosen for this, such as: bad­minton,
ping pong, checkers, chess,
bridge, swimming, hiking, and folk
dancing. Ample space would be
provided and tables would be set
up in the gym. This would not in­terfere
with the regular rec hour
which is held on Friday afternoons;
but would supply entertainment for
those students who do not attend
rec hour. Of course this does not
mean that those students who go to
rec hour cannot be participants in
these games for the evening.
The recreational committee is
composed of three students and
three faculty members, namely;
chairman, Christine Albers, assisted
by Randy Oberlatz, Don Richard
son, Dr. A. C. Hicks, Miss Ruth
Piatt, Dr. C. C. Upshall.
Instructor Returns
After Long Illness
Miss Lucy. Kangley, instructor in
the English department, has re
turned to school after an absence
of one quarter. Late last summer
Miss Kangley fell from a seventy-give^
foot cliff, suffering a broken
collar bone, several broken ribs, and
two dislocated vertebrae. She was
treated at Providence hospital, Se
attle.
During her absence, Mrs. Mildred
Crockett, of Seattle, taught her
classes. This quarter Miss Kangley
is teaching courses in general liter
ature, technical English. English for
junior high school, and in the novel

Veteran School Worker
Resigns From Position
John H. Kanall, engineer and
superintendent of buildings and
grounds at the Normal school since
June 1, 1919, resigned his position
recently.
Illness forces Mr. Kanall to.end
fifteen years of service. Since a
year ago when he was hurt in an
elevator shaft while at work, the
veteran employe has planned to
retire.
"He was faithful and dependable."
said President C. H. Fisher. "He
could be called upon day or night
to do work that should be done and
he responded cheerfully and willing­ly.
He has earned the gratitude
of everybody connected with the
school."
George W. Sperry will succeed
Mr. Kanall. He was assistant en­gineer
from 1919 to 1927. Recom­mended
by Mrv Kanall, he was
thought by the board of trustees to
be the best man available for the
position.
Next Monday Is Date Set For
Nominating Convention; Race
For President's Chair Certain
Registration Is High
Enrollment Mark of 700 Will
Probably Be Passed
Indications that the winter
quarter registration would be

last Wednesday in the regis­trar's
office. Some students
are still entering school, and
the complete enrollment will
not be known until the end of
next week. A
The freshman class is com­posed
of over one-third of the
students in school. Three hun­dred
have registered for the
Library Instruction course. One
hundred fifteen are taking His­tory
2, while 96 have signed
for English 2.

Legion Quartet Presents
Musical Program Today
Presenting a varied program,
the Legion quartet appeared in
assembly this morning. Their
program included numbers ranging
from seventeenth century English
works to modern American.;, Sev­eral
trio numbers were given. This
ladies' quartet won the highest
honors at the Century of Progress
exposition contest at Chicago In
October, 1933.
For the first time in many a Lou­isiana
moon Huey Long Shaffer will
not be a delegate to the nominating
convention to be held next Monday
in room 108.
Upset number two of the week
which caused campus bigwigs to
scan more carefully the political
storm clouds was the persistant ru­mor
that Joe Hager would not run
for student body president.
Disturbing, too, is the halo around
the Louisiana moon which observers
interpret in the following manner.'
Both Shaffer and Gordon Richard­son,
who usually follow the same
guiding star in politics, would hke
to run for student body president;
neither has cared to antagonize the
other by definitely entering the
race; both are waiting for persua­sion
from supporters; neither has
received an appreciable amount of
push so far.
Fairly certain of being placed be­fore
the convention for student body
president are Robert Hartley, Gor­don
Millikan and Mike Tomco.
Lesser lights to "be nominated are
candidates for vice president and
three board of control positions one
of which must be a faculty mem­ber.
Candioaws other than those chos­en
by the convention may be nomi­nated
by posted petitions which re-
