Young Man
Of Senate
Wi^peak
Senator Robert M. La FoUette, Jr.,
Will Deliver Address
•at Church _'• • •
IS A PROGRESSIVE LEADER
Is Son of a Former Presidential
Candidate
Senator Robert M. LaFolIette Jr.,
Wisconsin's famous and America's
youngest senator, will speak next
Monday evening, November 6, at
8:15 p. m., in the First Christian
church, on Dupont street, on the
subject, "What the Progressives Are
Fighting For."
While not only one of the young­est
members of the Senate, Mr. La­FolIette,
publicly referred to as
"Young Bob," is also one of the most
popular leaders. He is 35 years of
age and a son of the late Bob La­FolIette,
outstanding United States
senator and presidential candidate
on the progressive ticket in 1924.
Of the progressive leaders there is
none more prominent than this
young man from Wisconsin. At the
last national Republican convention,
the greatest speech of the meeting
was made by "Young Bob," causing
such a stir that even the press
stands applauded.
Excerpts from the Washington
Merry-Go-Round, Washington, D. C,
publication, say, "Today he is one
of not more than half a dozen men
in the United States Senate who
are first rank in public speakers:"
An article by Clinton Gilbert, ob­server
of affairs in Washington,
written in a weekly publication, says
of LaFolIette, "He always sees things
exactly as they are, is moderate and
extremely likeable, and has the lev-elest
head in the Senate."
Mr. LaFolIette, formerly scheduled
to appear at the Normal school au­ditorium,
will speak at the First
Christian church instead, so that
there will be ample room to accom­modate
the crowds that are anxious
to see him. General admission will
be 25 cents, with reserved seats sell­ing
at 50 cents. Bellingham State
Normal students will be admitted on
their student activity tickets.

Normal Boards
And Presidents
Meet Together
Our Prexy Attends Seattle Meeting
Where Change of Name
Is Considered
At a meeting in Seattle, Friday,
attended by President C. H. Fisher,
presidents and trustees fronveach of
the three state Normals discussed
questions of important bearing on
the administration of the schools.
The proposed changes in naming
the Normal schools of the state
were taken up and the various
names considered. It was proposed
that' the Bellingham Normal should
be known as the Western Washing­ton
College of Education and the
others as the Central Washington
and the Eastern Washington Col­leges
of Education, respectively.
Among the topics discussed was
the question of abolishing the life
diploma. It was decided that it
should' be necessary for holders of
life diplomas to attend school at
least one quarter in every five years.
A motion was made that the board
go on record as being unfavorable to
admitting sororities and fraternities
to Normal colleges. The financial
outlook was also discussed.

Vikings Are Set to Get Victory at
Olympia Field Tomorrow
Afternoon
The Vikings are out gunning for
a score!
That's the team's by-words, and
that's the students* chant at the
football team this week prepared for
its next game,, which will be played
tomorrow at 2 p. m. against the St.
Martin's Rangers at Olympia.
The team fell six inches short of
& touchdown last Saturday against
C. P. S. They are going south to get
at least one score and also to bring
home the bacon in order that this
school may celebrate its first victory,
in many, many games.
Team to Show Staff
Even games like last Saturday's
tangle do not count in the win col­umn
for the Bellingham team. To­morrow
they will be out to defeat
the Rangers and show both the
school here and the Lacey boys that
they have the stuff in them.
St. Martin's itself has not fared so
well this season. Last Saturday they
met the U. of W. Frosh and were
defeated, 15 to 6. If comparative
scores mean anything the Rangers'
score looks a lot better than Bel-lingham's.
22-to-0 loss. Previous to
this they lost to Monmouth Normal,
West Seattle A. C. and C. P. S.,
6 to'0. Their lone win was over
Pacific Lutheran.
Rangers Strong at Center
The ends of the line will have to
be run consistently by Bellingham
backs if the center of the Rangers'
line lives up to advance dope. The
center and the two starting guards,
Haggardy, Oldham and Hurney, re­spectively,
all are big experienced
men and ^should make the going
plenty tough.
The Rangers, have a very good
