ACTORS VISIT B. S. N.
WHEN CLARKE GABLE, JACK
QAKTK, LORETTA YOUNG, JEAN
< PARKER, AND THE REST OP THE
BIG SHOTS MOVED INTO LOCA­TION
AT MT. BAKER, NEAR BEL­LINGHAM,
THE STUDENTS AT
THE STATE NORMAL THERE
PELT THAT HERE WAS A WON­DERFUL
CHANCE TO MEET
THEIR HEROES AND HEROINES
OP THE SILVER SCREEN IN THE
FLESH.
So-o-o-o, as Ed Wynn would say,
the boys and girls breathlessly ar­ranged
one of those discreet and
genteel pink teas for which our
Normal schools are so justly noted
and invited several of the well
known cinema artists.

CLARK AND LORETTA, AND
THE REST ARRIVED IN GOOD

STUDENT'S TEA AND AUTO­GRAPH
THEIR NAPKINS, BUT
THE NORMAL WON'T INVITE
THAT NASTY JACK OAKIE
AGAIN, APPARENTLY HE DID­N'T
TAKE THE MATTER SER­IOUSLY
ENOUGH, AND TO THE
STORY GOES, WAS IN A MOOD
MORE JOVIAL THAN OUR BEST
MINDS CONSIDER SUITABLE
FOR A NORMAL SCHOOL TEA.
And as a result the lads and lass­ies
from our sister college couldn't
get Jack's autograph on their nap­kins.
In fact, Jack just wasn't sign­ing
his name at all that day.
The author of the column must
have felt jollier than Jack Oakie
did that day!

And if- yon are presented with a
petition asking that CRLBBAGE be
included on the list of major sports,
don't sign it—it might be real.

Shaffer Named Chairman
Student Committees To Be Chosen
To Further Co-operation
Hell Week, just one of the sea­son
s social events at the "U," is
tough on the unseasoned under­graduates,
claims the campus med­ico.
He says thai one of the young­sters
who had been losing a lot of
slumber because of the celebration
came to him to get patched up.
While pulling off some adhesive
tape the kid fell asleep and again
when the M. D. was explaining the
use of a prescription to him. The
doc must be used to making class­room
lectures.
* * * *
That someone doesn't appreciate
the monicker, Huey Long, has been
evidenced in a recent bit of spite
legislation that socked the Vikings
in a tender spot. Railroaded through
the Board of Control, this progres­sive
new ruling calls for a bulletin
of the board's doings to be posted
immediately following each meet­ing.
This pinches the news boys in
Discussion of football occupied
much of the time of the February
13 meeting of the Board of Control.
Coach Lappenbusch submitted the
tentative schedule of games for next
fall season and asked the board's
decision on having spring football.
No step was taken on this subject.
A report that the recreational
program is well under way was
given by Louis Shaffer, who also
said that Agnes Martin and Dick
Newlean were acting as supervisors
of the games. It was decided that
a standing committee should be ap­pointed
to take charge of this new
movement. President Millikan nam­ed
Shaffer as chairman to be as­sisted
by Joe Hager and Nancy
Jane Smith.
Rec Hour Conduct Discussed
Various members of the Board
aired their opinions on student con­duct
at rec hour. Rather than mak­ing
the same group of persons per­manently
responsible, the Board vot­ed
to appoint a student committee
each week to work in co-operation
with the faculty committee in mak­ing
the weekly dance a success for
a greater number of people.
In view of the fact that there
was insufficient time to complete
the business before the board, it was
decided to table discussion of requi­sitions
until next week.
Last night the members of the
board met at Normalstad for their
winter social. At this gathering, the
old members were bid adieu and
the new ones were welcomed.
By Nancy Jane Smith
"With the dates of the production
only three weeks in the future, the
rehearsals for 'Twelfth Night' are
coming along on schedule," says
Faith Scheyer, assistant director of
the play which the Speech depart­ment,
Division of Drama, is present­ing
March 7, and 8.
When asked how they thought the
play was developing, Maynard'Pon-ko,
Helen Scott, and Victor Dickin­son,
three of the leads in the drama
chimed, "Oh, very nicely," or words
to that effect.
Delightful bits of comic relief are
being conceived by the several ac­tors
carrying humorous parts, es­pecially
Hebert Wilkinson and Glen
Greseth, who play that well-known
and often quoted pair, Sir Toby
Belch and Sir Andrew Aguecheek.
On the theory that "all work and
no play makes Jack a dull boy," the
cast took time off from their labors
on Wednesday for an impromptu
tea party.

Vikings To Week-End
Hardy Norsemen To Revel At
Glacier Cabin
Proving that they are true
sons and daughters of their
hardy Norsemen ancestors, the
members of the Viking staff
will this afternoon take leave
of dear old Normal and Jour­ney
to the far north, Glacier
to be exact, where they will
spend the week-end.
"Amusements will include
skiing, a scavenger hunt, hik­ing,
and plenty of just plain
'mincer," stated Nancy Smith,
"a member of the entertain­ment
committee.
About twenty-five members
awexpected 66attend; While
there they will stay in the
Mount Baker club cabin.
Saveli Walevitch, one of the first
Russians to introduce old Russian
folk songs to America, will bring a
varied vocal program to assembly
February 19.
Walevitch conveys a deep knowl­edge
and understanding of the dif­ferent
types of people of his coun­try
in his songs and ballads. These
are significant in that they repre­sent
the life and customs of the
people and are spontaneous au­thentic
creations. The rendition is
governed by mood and circum­stance,
and the artist himself must
be unhampered by conventional
style to interpret this music with
freedom.
The strange appeal of the many
different programs of Walevitch has
led to his many tours in the United
States and Europe. He has given
over 250 recitals.

set aside for a general holiday
in this state, classes will close on

committee and is being examined by
the students. Next Tuesday it goes
before the faculty for discussion, at

or rejection of the charter.
At the request of the committee

Starlund, Gordon Millikan, Harry
Windsor, Sterling McPhail, W. J.
Marquis, V. H. Hoppe, and H. C.

The charter calls for five mem­bers.
All Junior-Senior students,
two selected by the faculty, two se­lected
by the faculty, two selected by
secret ballot by the class, and the
other to be president of the Junior-
Senior class. The class president
will also act as president of the
court.

Veteran Reporter Put oh Spot
Vice-President Active Journalist, Bicyclist, Actress, Photographer;
Loves Pop-Eye; Refuses To Talk About Men.
By Margaret Thon
"I don't see how anyone could
overlook me," reasons Nancy Jane
Smith while considering her chances
to go the way of all vice-president's
and become nothing but a nothing
to the student body.
"But one thing I can brag about
is that I only weighed three and
one-half pounds when I was born,"
she rejoins in reminiscing of the
bright spots of her life.
Although dramatics, journalism,
and photography are enumerated as
her chief Interests, the new execu­tive
expresses a desire to become a
journalist. Miss Smith has served
five quarters on the Northwest Vi­king
and is now managing editor.
I n her high school journalistic^ex-high
school Record.
No Definite Idea
The veteran reporter has definite
ideas concerning the teaching pro­fession.
"I'll reconcile myself to
being an old maid but I'll never be
a school teacher," she emphatically
states.
Playing the role of the red queen
in "Through the Looking Glass"
while a fifth grader in the training
school, Miss Smith began her dra­matic
career. Recent appearances
before the public are roles in "Death
Takes a Holiday" and "The Ad­mirable
Crichtbh."
The vice president informingly
confides she rode forty miles on a
bicycle one day.' She likes bicycling
and enjoys talking. "I love Pop
eye," Miss Smith' exclaims, but re
perience, she edited the Fairhaven I fuses to talk about men.
Dr. No Yong Park, former Har­vard
scholar and lecturer on Ori­ental
subjects, spoke this morning
before the Normal assembly on
"Japanese Expansion and World
Peace."
At Harvard Dr. Park specialized
in international relations. Since
then he has made this study his
life work. He received his degree
from Harvard in 1932.
As a humorist Dr. Park has often
been referred to as the "Oriental
Mark Twain."

In Eden Hall This Noon
Black and white block prints by
Mr. Charles Heaney, Portland artist,
will be displayed by the Art depart­ment
next week. All students are
urged to visit room 305 to see these
pictures.
Mr. Heaney received his training
from the Portland Art Museum and
from the University of Washington.
He has received much favorable
comment in Philadelphia, Los. An­geles,
and Seattle, where his prints
have been exhibited.
Working with jeweler's tools, Mr.
Heaney produces very fine drawr
ings. His prints are noted for their
wonderful texture and quality.
These prints will be sent to Seattle
at the close of the week-to be ex­hibited
in the Art Museum.
As a follow up to Dr. No Yong
Park's lecture in assembly he will
