A people forgetting the welfare of its children has cut educational appropriation from 33% million dollars in 1930 to 21% million dollars in 1933. This reduction, more than 35 per cent, will have inevitably disastrous consequences. On the school cost basis of 1931, current appropriations will enable schools to remain open only until the second week in January. The reduced cost basis of last year will prolong the term only until the third week of February. The loss of potential power accrued to the state by the education of its children will be tremendous. The collapse of the school system will without a doubt mean the collapse of other democratic institutions. Winter Budget Completed By Control Board Candy And Ice Cream Are On Cash Basis At School Store Put Survey by Northwest Viking Shows Candidates Nominated by Students Have Varied Interests in Affairs When a survey of the successful nominees was made, it was discover-plays. At present she is managing editor of the Viking. Her other main Richardson and Millikan Win Prexy Primary Nominations; Hartley and Smith are Choice Co-op Gets Register Recreational Program Discussed At Board Meeting Further reduction of the already minute salaries of teachers is assured unless the legislature chooses to devise means of providing revenue. Last year twenty-two teachers received less than three hundred dollars for the year's servces. Fifteen of these received less than two hundred dollars. Eleven hundred and thirty-nine teachers received less than the extinct NRA minimum for 52 weeks under the President's agreement. 2,342 teachers receive less than the lowest paid vendor in a state liquor store. The training for state liquor vendors is aptly .described by H. L. Mencken, who once asked one of them the nature of a dry wine. That worthy replied, "One that isn't wettish." Winter quarter's budget of student fees was presented and accepted by the Board of Control at their regular meeting held last Wednesday afternoon. Men's athletics was given $3 per student ticket, while the social fund and Northwest Viking received $1, and women's athletics and the division of drama received $.25. The budget was figured on an enrollment of 630 full-credit students. Special students are not required to purchase activities tickets. Dr. A. C. Hicks presented to the board a report of the recreational program committee. The program was discussed by the board members, and the secretary was instructed to order equipment v/hich was suggested as necessary by the committee. Final action of the board will be taken at next week's meeting. Charges Limited To take effect immediately was the motion which permits no students to put candy or ice-cream purchases on their Co-op bill. The board also authorized the purchase of a suitable cash register to replace the inadequate register now in use. Rec hour tryouts of orchestras were postponed one week. Students will vote on February 1 which orchestra they wish to play for the remainder of the quarter. A union orchestra will play this afternoon. The board plans to make a few changes in the by-laws after the elections. o ed that many of the candidates orig- interest is golf, inally came from other countries, i Bob Hartley is in his eighth quar- Other facts about them have beenjter at Normal.

Since coming to Normal, Richardson has had prominent positions. Last year he was editor of the Klipsun, and is at present secretary of the Board of Control. He works part time at the Co-op. Gordon Millikan, the other successful nominee, is now in his fifth quarter at Normal. He comes from Pateros, Washington. Millikan has become prominently associated with clubs and he is now president of the Social Science club, and vice president of the Inter-club council. Vice-President A contribution of Fairhaven is Nancy Jane Smith, candidate for vice-president. This is Miss Smith's fifth quarter at school, and since coming, she has been in several and studying. He is employed at the Normal library. Four-Quarter Representative Although born in Norway, Oscar Svarlien was graduated from Fair-haven high school. This is his fifth quarter, and he is employed under the FERA. His main hobby is hiking. The WAA candidate, Agnes Martin, comes to us from Canada. She is reputed to be an excellent swimmer and tennis player. Four-Quarter Representative Blanche Pearce, who comes from Burlington, is another "foreigner", for she was born in England. She is a second-quarter sophomore, and is a candidate of the YWCA. Born in Red Deer, Alberta, Louise Schulz came to this country and was graduated from Whatcom high school. This is Miss Scl;ulz's eighth quarter. Frosh Jubilee Has Sports For Theme Planned by Miller and Wellman Basketball Decorative Motif Carried Out Governor Offers Biennium Budget Allowance Is Given for Physical Education Building; Prexy Pleased Hope is again rising that the physical education building may become a reality. In Governor Clarence D. Martin's budget, submitted to the legislature, he recommended a biennium appropriation of $428,000 and a building appropriation of $218,500, for Bellingham Normal. Shakespearean Drama Offered "Twelfth Night" To Be Presented As Quarterly Production Of Drama Club Council Will Discuss Luncheons, Conflicts; New Ruling Effective Demagogues may blat about "teachers' ideals of social service, not salary," but what self-respecting human is willing to train three years to enter a profession which pays less than twenty-five dollars a month? "Big fleas have little fleas and ministers have secretaries." Louis Shaffer, dynamic wart on the incumbent board's proboscis, wants to be little flea to the next Board of Control. Elect him, new board, but first stretch a piece of adhesive tape tightly from his nose to his chin. Luncheons for assembly speakers and conflicts in club calendars are the issues to be discussed at the Inter-Club council meeting January 30. Conflicts have resulted in club calendars because of the basketball schedule. These conflicts may necessitate minor changes in the calendars. It has been recently decided by the council that if the representative of a club misss two successive meetings that club will no longer remain approved. o — Moffett To Present Alkisiah Club History With all the political criticism of the expense for the annual and all the dirty slaps at the editor of that publication, no one has as yet suggested a means whereby its expense to the students might be reduced. May we, while gently hinting at the inanity of intending to do a thing without knowing how, suggest a remedy for the much criticised ills? Give the business manager something to do other than signing contracts and requisitions. Devote a section at the back of the annual to advertising. Bellingham merchants are wild to give themselves publicity there. By giving them what they want the cost to the students might be reduced to little over one dollar. On next Monday evening, the Alkisiah club will hold its regular meeting in the club room of Edens hall. The gathering will be in the nature of a review of the history of the club, which is the oldest organization of its kind in this school. The feature of Monday night's meeting will be an address by Miss Mildred Moffett, who will speak on the subject, "The History of the Traditions of Alkisiah". Frisby Fresk has an unusual way of requestng food at the dorm. Passing his plate, he says: "Will you potato me, please?" "Will you meat me, please?" "Will you carrot me, please?" ' B u t - . _ \ ; ' / . . : " ' '!,'.•;.'' ;'. V'':"' "Will you pour me a glass of milk, please?" Normal Carpenter Shop Is Completely Demolished Damages amounting to approximately $2,000 were counted at the Normal school late Monday night. The warming weather melted the snow, dislodging rocks which were sent crashing down Sehome onto the carpenter shop, which is located at the foot of the hill. The building which is comparatively new was completely destroyed. Work has been started towards clearing up the ruins, as there are a few things worth salvaging. >: Investigations have been made as to the possibilities of another slide so that measures may be taken to prevent another costly disaster. Building To Be Erected Of the $218,500, $200,000 will be used for the long-dreamed-of physical education building. The $18,- 500, if obtained, will be used for a new roof on the main building, and for work on the new athletic field. This recommendation was made with the proviso that state and federal building money is available. President C. H. Fisher expressed satisfaction over the governor's two-year appropriation recommendation. This amount is for salaries, wages, and operations. The recommendation was about $40,000 less than the board asked, but it is about $85,000 more than was allowed for the present biennium. o Mc Ilvain Prefers Pottery to Paintings Southwestern Indianfc have recently been called the real pioneers in art. In California, Arizona, and Nevada many cliffs and rocks are painted with surrealistic paintings done with special oils. The Indians believe these pictures to be done by "spirit painters", but scientists today accredit this super-natural work to the nightly visits of the medicine man. "Since these pictures have, little logic and no plan of construction, they have little value in real art," states Miss Dorothy Mcllvain. art instructor. "Personally, I admire Indian pottery and much of then-talent, but surrealistic painting has no meaning to me." o New Student Officials May Expect Initiation Following its usual custom, the Board of Control will give a banquet for its members sometime later in the quarter. Christine Albers will be in charge of the affair, which will be held at a down town hotel. Each quarter, in the past, the board has been in the habit of holding some sort of social function honoring the members of that body, and this quarter, it will honor not only the old members, but the new ones as well, and will probably take I the form of an initiation for them. By V. H. Hoppe There are four reasons why the department of Drama should produce "Twelveth Night", or any Shakespearean play. The first is because Hollywood doesn't. Practically all modern plays are being screened by the movies and amateurs cannot produce until the screen version is released. The second reason is that Shakespeare should be kept alive by the schools. The best method of appreciating Shakespeare is to enact his plays. Thirdly, "the play's the thing" after all. These old plays are still vital experiences in understanding the bewildering phenomena of life. For the fourth point, Shakespeare's plays spell romance. As President Fisher says, "We are an' educational institution." We have a distinct opportunity to do fine things. Why Shakespeare? Well, why life? o Registration by Classes Similar to Fall Quarter Although registration will not be final until next week, Miss Norma Bouck, secretary to Dean Bever, states that "about as many are in school this quarter as attended in the fall quarter". Distribution of classes approximates that of the fall quarter. There were 290 freshmen, 160 sophomores, 165 juniors,' and 40 seniors. About 20 of the seniors were not legitimate members of the student body as they took only one or two courses. Amid' pennants, streamers, and basketballs, the Frosh will be hosts to the rest of the students at their quarterly party, tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in the big gym. Appointed by class president Steve Turk, "because of his hard work at the last Freshman celebration," Johnny Miller is in charge of arrangements. He will furnish the orchestra for dancing and he promises novel and nourishing refreshments. Blue and white basketball pen nants, streamers and balloons—even blue and white lights will glorify the seasonal sport, according to Dorothy Wellman, freshman class vice-president and chairman of the decoration committee. Assisting her with adorning the gym will be Mildred Larson, Rebecca Mounter, Rose Altose, Helen Ack-len, Elvira James, Maurice Tweit, Douglas Hanson, Eugene Sybrant, Art Harrold, and Mill Bostrom. Students will be admitted to the party upon presenting their student body tickets. o Vacancy on Annual Filled by Hostetter Former Staff Member Promoted To Associate Editor Oscar Svarlien, Agnes Martin Roll In Votes for Board Position Polls Crowded Pierce and Schulz Placed in General Election the Helen Hostetter, Viking reporter, has been appointed asociate editor of the Klipsun to replace "Barbara Shute, who has withdrawn from school. Until her recent appointment. Miss Hostetter had served as faculty editor on the Klipsun staff. Her work included special write-ups for the annual. The newly appointed associate editor was graduated last year from Whatcom high school, where she occupied the position of editor-in-chief of Whatcom's annual, the Kulshan. She also served as associate editor on the Kulshan staff. Pat Allan, editor of the Klipsun, reports that basketball pictures are to be taken next Monday. Group pictures of classes and clubs are to be photographed soon. : o Hoppe To Present Play in Assembly Lake Waldo New Campus Attraction "Far above the bay's blue waters, Stands our own Sehome," But now the bathing enthusiasts don't have to go to the bay's blue waters" for their little dip. They have a private swimming pool of their own. It may not be so blue, and it isn't so very far away, but it's Lake Waldo. Those few courageous souls who ventured out on the campus last Tuesday were startled to see a sizeable lake on the athletic field. Some of them who tried to wade across found it too deep. So they r e tired to the shore to gaze with pride of possession upon the sparkling ripples. Featured in the assembly next Tuesday will be Victor H. Hoppe, of the department of Speech at Normal. He will read a play. Mr. Hoppe nearly always presents a program some time during each quarter of the school year. At this time he usually reviews a play. These programs have proved to be very popular with the students in the past. It is expected that the assembly will be unusually well attended by outsiders as well as the student body. The nature of the play to be reviewed has not been revealed. Gordon Richardson and Gordon Millikan won a place on next Thursday's general election ticket by one of the narrowest margins in school history at yesterday's primaries. Robert Hartley and Nancy Jane Smith will run off the vice-presidential race. For the four-quarter representative post on the Board of Control, open to men and women, Agnes Martin ana Oscar Svarlien received the highest number of votes. The names of Blanche Pierce and Louise Schulz will appear on the general ballot for the four-quarter representative position open to women only. As there were but two candidates for faculty representative on the Board of Control, and consequently no contest, the total number of votes cast for Dr. E. A. Bond and Miss Emma Erickson was somewhat surprising. Surprising, too, was the fact that for every office except the presidential job, there was one feminine candidate. Old time politicians were overjoyed at the seventy-one per cent turnout, especially for a primary election. Victor Dickinson was chairman of the election board with Ralph Shenenberger and Emil Starluhd assisting. P Normal Instructors Favor High Grades Faculty members of the Washington State Normal school give tlie students more A and B grades and less D and F grades than can be justified by any of the usually recommended procedures of determining grade distribution. Studies show that when a long, well-constructed objective test is given to a large number of college students, the distribution of grades would approximate 7 per cent A's, 24 per cent B's, 38 per cent CPs, 24 per cent D's, and 7 per cent P^s. The fact that the instructors here have a tendency to give high grades is shown in a study of 45,336 student's marks, according to Dr. C C. Upshall, director of the Bureau of Research. Club Officers Elected By NW Normal Group Jim Campbell, president of the Freshman class in 1932,.. was elected president of. the club at the University of Washington composed entirely of former students of Bellingham Normal school, at their first business meeting, which was held last week. Bill Fisher, son of President C. H. Fisher, was. elected vice president, while Harriet Rickerson and Debby Altose were elected secretary and treasurer respectively. Nearly 70 students are members of the club. Women's League, Men's Club Hold First Meeting Assembly this morning consisted of meetings of the Women's league and the Men's club. These are the first meetings held this quarter. After a short business meeting of the league a skit was offered by a group of girls under the direction of Mary Jane Maergeli. Miss Ma-ergeli sang some popular selections. A varied program was presented at the meeting of the Men's club after their business meeting. /^ampus Calendar Friday, Jan, 25— 4:00—Orchestra tryouts at rec hour. 7:30—W club skating party. 7:30—Viking staff party.

The $18,- 500, if obtained, will be used for a new roof on the main building, and for work on the new athletic field. This recommendation was made with the proviso that state and federal building money is available. President C. H. Fisher expressed satisfaction over the governor's two-year appropriation recommendation. This amount is for salaries, wages, and operations. The recommendation was about $40,000 less than the board asked, but it is about $85,000 more than was allowed for the present biennium. o Mc Ilvain Prefers Pottery to Paintings Southwestern Indianfc have recently been called the real pioneers in art. In California, Arizona, and Nevada many cliffs and rocks are painted with surrealistic paintings done with special oils. The Indians believe these pictures to be done by "spirit painters", but scientists today accredit this super-natural work to the nightly visits of the medicine man. "Since these pictures have, little logic and no plan of construction, they have little value in real art," states Miss Dorothy Mcllvain. art instructor. "Personally, I admire Indian pottery and much of then-talent, but surrealistic painting has no meaning to me." o New Student Officials May Expect Initiation Following its usual custom, the Board of Control will give a banquet for its members sometime later in the quarter. Christine Albers will be in charge of the affair, which will be held at a down town hotel. Each quarter, in the past, the board has been in the habit of holding some sort of social function honoring the members of that body, and this quarter, it will honor not only the old members, but the new ones as well, and will probably take I the form of an initiation for them. By V. H. Hoppe There are four reasons why the department of Drama should produce "Twelveth Night", or any Shakespearean play. The first is because Hollywood doesn't. Practically all modern plays are being screened by the movies and amateurs cannot produce until the screen version is released. The second reason is that Shakespeare should be kept alive by the schools. The best method of appreciating Shakespeare is to enact his plays. Thirdly, "the play's the thing" after all. These old plays are still vital experiences in understanding the bewildering phenomena of life. For the fourth point, Shakespeare's plays spell romance. As President Fisher says, "We are an' educational institution." We have a distinct opportunity to do fine things. Why Shakespeare? Well, why life? o Registration by Classes Similar to Fall Quarter Although registration will not be final until next week, Miss Norma Bouck, secretary to Dean Bever, states that "about as many are in school this quarter as attended in the fall quarter". Distribution of classes approximates that of the fall quarter. There were 290 freshmen, 160 sophomores, 165 juniors,' and 40 seniors. About 20 of the seniors were not legitimate members of the student body as they took only one or two courses. Amid' pennants, streamers, and basketballs, the Frosh will be hosts to the rest of the students at their quarterly party, tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in the big gym. Appointed by class president Steve Turk, "because of his hard work at the last Freshman celebration," Johnny Miller is in charge of arrangements. He will furnish the orchestra for dancing and he promises novel and nourishing refreshments. Blue and white basketball pen nants, streamers and balloons—even blue and white lights will glorify the seasonal sport, according to Dorothy Wellman, freshman class vice-president and chairman of the decoration committee. Assisting her with adorning the gym will be Mildred Larson, Rebecca Mounter, Rose Altose, Helen Ack-len, Elvira James, Maurice Tweit, Douglas Hanson, Eugene Sybrant, Art Harrold, and Mill Bostrom. Students will be admitted to the party upon presenting their student body tickets. o Vacancy on Annual Filled by Hostetter Former Staff Member Promoted To Associate Editor Oscar Svarlien, Agnes Martin Roll In Votes for Board Position Polls Crowded Pierce and Schulz Placed in General Election the Helen Hostetter, Viking reporter, has been appointed asociate editor of the Klipsun to replace "Barbara Shute, who has withdrawn from school. Until her recent appointment. Miss Hostetter had served as faculty editor on the Klipsun staff. Her work included special write-ups for the annual. The newly appointed associate editor was graduated last year from Whatcom high school, where she occupied the position of editor-in-chief of Whatcom's annual, the Kulshan. She also served as associate editor on the Kulshan staff. Pat Allan, editor of the Klipsun, reports that basketball pictures are to be taken next Monday. Group pictures of classes and clubs are to be photographed soon. : o Hoppe To Present Play in Assembly Lake Waldo New Campus Attraction "Far above the bay's blue waters, Stands our own Sehome," But now the bathing enthusiasts don't have to go to the bay's blue waters" for their little dip. They have a private swimming pool of their own. It may not be so blue, and it isn't so very far away, but it's Lake Waldo. Those few courageous souls who ventured out on the campus last Tuesday were startled to see a sizeable lake on the athletic field. Some of them who tried to wade across found it too deep. So they r e tired to the shore to gaze with pride of possession upon the sparkling ripples. Featured in the assembly next Tuesday will be Victor H. Hoppe, of the department of Speech at Normal. He will read a play. Mr. Hoppe nearly always presents a program some time during each quarter of the school year. At this time he usually reviews a play. These programs have proved to be very popular with the students in the past. It is expected that the assembly will be unusually well attended by outsiders as well as the student body. The nature of the play to be reviewed has not been revealed. Gordon Richardson and Gordon Millikan won a place on next Thursday's general election ticket by one of the narrowest margins in school history at yesterday's primaries. Robert Hartley and Nancy Jane Smith will run off the vice-presidential race. For the four-quarter representative post on the Board of Control, open to men and women, Agnes Martin ana Oscar Svarlien received the highest number of votes. The names of Blanche Pierce and Louise Schulz will appear on the general ballot for the four-quarter representative position open to women only. As there were but two candidates for faculty representative on the Board of Control, and consequently no contest, the total number of votes cast for Dr. E. A. Bond and Miss Emma Erickson was somewhat surprising. Surprising, too, was the fact that for every office except the presidential job, there was one feminine candidate. Old time politicians were overjoyed at the seventy-one per cent turnout, especially for a primary election. Victor Dickinson was chairman of the election board with Ralph Shenenberger and Emil Starluhd assisting. P Normal Instructors Favor High Grades Faculty members of the Washington State Normal school give tlie students more A and B grades and less D and F grades than can be justified by any of the usually recommended procedures of determining grade distribution. Studies show that when a long, well-constructed objective test is given to a large number of college students, the distribution of grades would approximate 7 per cent A's, 24 per cent B's, 38 per cent CPs, 24 per cent D's, and 7 per cent P^s. The fact that the instructors here have a tendency to give high grades is shown in a study of 45,336 student's marks, according to Dr. C C. Upshall, director of the Bureau of Research. Club Officers Elected By NW Normal Group Jim Campbell, president of the Freshman class in 1932,.. was elected president of. the club at the University of Washington composed entirely of former students of Bellingham Normal school, at their first business meeting, which was held last week. Bill Fisher, son of President C. H. Fisher, was. elected vice president, while Harriet Rickerson and Debby Altose were elected secretary and treasurer respectively. Nearly 70 students are members of the club. Women's League, Men's Club Hold First Meeting Assembly this morning consisted of meetings of the Women's league and the Men's club. These are the first meetings held this quarter. After a short business meeting of the league a skit was offered by a group of girls under the direction of Mary Jane Maergeli. Miss Ma-ergeli sang some popular selections. A varied program was presented at the meeting of the Men's club after their business meeting. /^ampus Calendar Friday, Jan, 25— 4:00—Orchestra tryouts at rec hour. 7:30—W club skating party. 7:30—Viking staff party.
