Normal Hoopsters
To Engage Frosh
In Game Tonight
Tubby Graves* Squad Has Edge
In Report on Comparative
Game Scores
Coach Tubby Graves' Washington
Frosh have a decided edge over the
Vikings in the basketball tilt to­night,
according to Coach Charles
Lappenbusch. His conclusion was
reached by comparing past scores of
both teams. The scores by which
the Husby Babes lost to both the
other Normal schools were much
closer than Viking tri-normal en­gagements.
The Frosh team at present has
not had the same starting lineup in
any two of their games. Coach
Tubby Graves has been switching
his team to find a winning com­bination,
but to date the Frosh have
failed to bring home laurels.
Lappenbusch intends to start his
present starting lineup in that con­test,
but they will be playing under
a handicap, tired from the game
Thursday night. Coach Lappen­busch
especially fears the ability of
the elongated center whom the
Frosh are supposed to have.

HUEY P. COMPOSES

PREXY FOR BENNY

COMMUNISM!

DUES
By Syd Lines
TODAY carries the latest laugh
on that American court-jester, Huey
P. Lbng, when it published last week
a story on the southerner's latest
bid for publicity. Huey has written
two marvelous new songs. The first,
believe it, beloved, is a college song
which he called in his own original
style, "Hello, Tennessee." Intended
to spur the Louisiana State team on
to victory over Tennessee university
in their nationally publicized foot­ball
struggle, Long's initial Wag­nerian
attempt went by the board
when the Louisiana band could not
afford the trip and therefore the
song was not sung at the game.
Louisiana, as you recall, was de­feated.
The second classic which, ac­cording
to Huey, is a sure-fire na­tional
hit, bears the title "Every
Man a King." This royal phrase
implies the completing "—but only
Huey dictator."
Like other great writers such as
Schubert, Brahms, and Beethoven,
Huey required inspiration for this
masterpiece. So he arose early one
morning at 6 o'clock and listened
to the birdies chirp.
That crack about the weather in­formation
was the second good one
prexy has gotten off in assembly.
(Continued on Page Two)
President C. H. Fisher left Wed­nesday
for Olympia to speak for the
Bellingham Normal before the leg­islature.
Among the items of in­terest
to the school which are to
be considered are the biennium
budget, the building appropriation
and changing the name of the
school.
Monday noon Mr. Fisher ad­dressed
the Rotary club on "Prin­ciples
of Education in Democracy."
He expressed the belief that the
public schools are the nation's hope
from the standpoint of democracy
and that they are the most im­portant
factor in making democracy
a success.
He advocated equal educational
opportunities for all from the kin­dergarten
to the university, with
particular attention given to indi­vidual
needs. In his opinion, this
form of education should be fi­nanced
by. the federal government.
Musical Art Lecture
In Assembly Tuesday
The application of correlated
sound and color will be the theme
of Dudley Crafts Watson's music-picture
symphony lecture in as­sembly,
Tuesday, Feb. 5.
As a result of many years of study
in the fields of art and music Mr.
Watson, lecturer for the Fine Arts
department of A Century of Pro­gress
exposition in Chicago, has re­cently
perfected these programs. He
maintains that every tone has its
related color and that this is the
relationship between art and music.
The assembly will be held at 1:30
to 3:00 instead of the regular hour,
omitting all 2 o'clock classes.

Alkisiah Members Hear
Moffatt Speak in Past
That the Normal school campus
was set aside as a bird sanctuary
in 1922 as a memorial to Miss Baker,
a former teacher and adviser to the
Alkasiah club, was included in a
talk on the history of the club by
Miss Moffatt at a recent meeting.
Thus it is unlawful to kill or harm
a bird on this campus.
The Alkisiah club first came into
existence in 1899, and was known
as the Alcott society.
The club is planning to have a
pin, featuring golden arrowheads.

Nancy Jane Smith Victor in Race
For Vice President's Chair
On Control Board
Svarlien Defeats Martin
Louise Schulz Will Represent the
•Women of School
By Julius Dornblut Jr.
Gordon Millikan was elected
president of the Associated Students
by a large majority over Cordon
Richardson yesterday in one of the
most spirited elections ever held on
the W S N S campus. Approximately
80 per cent of the students voted.
Nancy Jane Smith won a close
race over Robert Hartley for the-vice-
presidency, while Oscar Svar-lien
and Louise Schulz each obtain­ed
a seat on the Board, of Control
for four quarters. Agnes Martin
and Blanche Pearce were the other
two candidates up for election.
Bond Chosen
Dr. E. A. Bond was again chosen
as a faculty member of the board.
Dr. Bond has held this position for
many years. He was given a ma­jority
over Miss Emma Erickson.
Starting with crack-up speeches
in assembly two weeks ago, punc­tuated
with a pre-primary tea and
innumerable bull sessions, the cam­paign
wound up in a .heated rally
Wednesday night. In this last min­ute
fray both presidential aspirants
Millikan and Richardson repaired
their battered fences, disowned cer­tain
backers.
Objection Voiced
Previous to the election, winner
Millikan objected to having his
name placed before the voters at the
same time and on the same ballot
as the Klipsun popularity contest
candidates. Strangely enough, un­less
he moves, objector Millikan will
have to be reminded dairy, of this
by housebrother Tony Zambas—win­ner
of the male popularity contest.
o
Organization of Court
To Be Broached For
Faculty's Approbation
To be presented to the faculty
meeting February 5 for ratification,
the constitution for the proposed
Senior Honor court has been drawn
up by the following student com­mittee:
Clyde Kendall, chairman,
Harry Winsor, Sterling McPhail
and Gordon Millikan. They worked
in collaboration with President C.
H. Fisher, H. C. Ruckmick, W. H.
Marquis and V. H. Hoppe of the
faculty.
The constitution for the judiciary
organization provides for five mem­bers,
two selected by tt$e faculty,
two selected by secret ballot by the
school at large, and the president
of the senior class, who is automati­cally
a member.
The court would promote greater
co-operation among students, con­trol
social functions and regulate
matters not usually brought to the
notice of the faculty.
