P^^^s^^^^B^W^Pl^ Wrf^r)S0&v'ii&i'$f VOL. XXXII—NO. 10 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Wednesday, November 29, 1933 Normal Not To Ask For More Funds Normals May Ask for Permission to Return to Warrant Pay Basis LACK OF FUNDS FORESEEN University and State College May Need More President C. H. Fisher made public recently the statement that the Normal schools will not seek additional financial support from the state legislature when it convenes in a special session. This announcement came as a result of the statement from the Washington State college and the University of Washington that they were preparing to ask for increased appropriations. The special session of the legislature starts December 4. This, in effect, means the Normal schools will, seek permission to return to the warrant pay basis. They arre now operating on a cash basis, which makes it necessary for actual cash to be available before the school may spend. As tax receipts have lagged schools have been handicapped with lack of funds, forcing them to effect additional economies. Taxes Hoped For However, if payments of delinquent taxes are adequate, President Fisher says the Bellingham Normal school will be in "fairly good shape and could get along without additional appropriations." For this reason the Normal schools of the state will not ask for anything more than to spend money up to the appropriations already set. To do this means a return to the warrant basis. The University and the State college will, however, be forced to seek additional funds. President Fisher states he is en-couraged bythe present amount of delinquent ^taXes^ being: paid and foresees the possibility that the Bellingham Normal school will, not be short, at all. : ~ O . San Jose Choir Here This Week / • — • . • - ' • . - i New Feature Started Series of Historical Articles to be Presented A series of historical articles about Northwest Washington will be run from time to time beginning with this week's Viking. On page four of this issue are two photographs, one taken fifty years ago and one taken this year. These cuts vividly portray the growth of the city. The Verse Speaking Choir of the San Jose Teachers' college gave an unusual program in the assembly Monday morning. Miss Elizabeth Jenks directed the choir. Participating in this choir were eleven women and three men. Thirty- five choir members were left at home. Miss Jenks directs a choir of men, one of women and a mixed choir. The students graduate from one choir to another until they finally make the one which appeared in our assembly. Considering the number of voices in the choir, the clearness of enunciation was remarkable. Effects were heightened by standing formations taken by the choir, by gestures and by the lighting effects. Imperfections in the production (Continued on Page Four) Students Completing Art Movie Pictures Students of art 60 a and b classes are finishing their moving pictures. Each student is making one picture to illustrate some part of "Uncle Remus' Brer Rabbit" story. When they are completed they will be put on a roller and shown as moving pictures. As a new. project the girls are making Christmas gifts." Some of the gifts include candy boxes, crayon pictures and wooden toys. Christmas cards are also being made by some of the students. • • iifiiS Birthday Dinner Given for Florence Johnson The Blue Triangle club held a surprise birthday dinner for Miss Florence Johnson a. week, ago Tuea-; day evenhig to tbe Edens hall club room.

The pottery has been studied principally from the standpoints of proportions, color and appreciation. A number of interesting pieces may be found in the art room, particularly two Chinese ginger jars and several pieces from England and Italy. The students have been inspecting several pieces that are good looking but inexpensive and have been studying them from' an artistic viewpoint. Interesting Pieces One small piece of pottery is significant for its association and is interesting to study. It was made by Anton Lang, who plays a leading part in the famous Passion Play at Oberammergau. Another dish of particular interest was made in the University of North Dakota in the college of mines. Here they have their own clay beds and have de veloped an individual type of pottery, which is very significant in the dish Miss Breakey has. . •-.••.:., A-::.A"' :"•-'•'-..'-O'..' ..'.: ';.'.••••••.- •<•'•- Several Students on Sick List According to Latest Reports According to the latest reports from the nurse's office the follow ing people were reported ill.

Club Discusses Banks Olvera Puppeteers To Present Show at Normal Dec. 5 Marionettes Will Give Matinee and Evening Show at Normal School Tuesday The Famous Olvera Puppeteers of Los Angeles are coming to the Normal for two performances, Tuesday, December 5. The Olvera Puppeteers have played in one theater every day for five in Los Angelts on which they first played. ... There will be a matinee Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock for the school children. "Jimmy's Adventures at the Circus," introducing some fifty marionettes, many animals, and trick puppets will be shown. Admission will be 25 cents. "Puppet Gaieties of '33" will be presented in the1 evening. The evening show will portray music, dancing, comedy, drama, satire, parody and fantasy. Many of the famous people and movie stars will be portrayed. The evening admission is 35 cents for adults and 25 cents for students. The marionette show includes all features of the theater—acting, .music, stagecraft, lighting, dancing, Conference Will Convene Friday At Condon Hall President Hugo Winkenwerder to Give Welcome Address At Meeting "World Economic Recovery" will be the subject of the sixth annual Northwest Students' International Relations conference, which is to be held in Condon hall at the University of Washington, Friday and Saturday, December 1 and 2. The program Friday includes an address of welcome delivered by President Hugo Winkenwerder; a lecture concerning the NRA by Mr. Shiri H. Blalock, Northwest district administrator of the national recovery administration, followed by student round-table discussion groups. Luncheon and dinner will be served both days of the conference at the Wilsonian hotel. A reception for the various delegates will be held at 3:30 p. m., and the balance of the afternoon will be free for recre ation. In the evening there will be a dancing and a social hour as well as more economic addresses. The program Saturday will follow much the same order, conclud- Vacation Announced Many Students Plan to Home for First Time Visit Thanksgiving vacation will begin this afternoon and last until the coming Monday. Students will have a chance to visit home for probably the first time since the beginning of school. Parents of first-quarter freshmen will be told all the thrills of going away to school—no doubt with an air of the educated. Some living at home will vow to catch up on neglected studies and actually only catch up -on sleep. Others will comb the city for odd jobs to patch depreciated bank accounts. public speaking, costumes, designing i n£ with a symposium in which The subject for Miss Nora Cummins' study club, which met No-veniber 28^ was '''^l^'fpic^'-yaiii You?'

It takes from ten to twenty-three (Continued on Page Four) o Exams Scheduled Tests Are to Begin Second Week of December Final examinations will begin ten days after the Thanksgiving holidays close. The regular fall examination schedule will get under way Wednesday, December 13, and continue throughout the week. Most of the tests will be given Thursday, December 14, and Friday, December 15. Regular class work will close Wednesday, December 13, except for practice teaching, which continues through Friday. By this plan it is hoped to avoid the necessity of students taking two or more tests in succession. Rooms with large enough space have been already assigned to the classes for their test. However ,if any teacher desires, they may give them in the auditorium by getting a definite assignment from Miss Bouck. Examination schedule will be posted on the bulletin board and all adjustments should be made as soon as possible, according to Dean Bever. o Paper Weights Cast In Order To Study Process of Molding Electro-plated paper weights are one of the projects now being completed by Mr. Herbert Ruckmick's industrial arts classes. When taking up these projects, the student keeps in mind that the type of work he takes up must have a direct bearing upon the teaching work. While making the paper weights, the first step is the making of the pattern of wood- Then this is molded in damp foundry sand which contains enough clay to preserve the shape of the pattern. Into this sand mold hot metal is poured. Lead, copper or aluminum may be used. After this has set, or cooled, the weight is either electro-plated or painted. questions and issues raised will be discussed by all of the speakers. o Play is Presented 'Holiday", Drama Club Offering, Well Received By William Pierron There is very little to criticise in the acting and direction of the Drama club's presentation of Philip Barry's play, "Holiday," on November 23 and 24. Any important adverse criticism should be leveled at the play itself, and not at the participants or the directors. It is regrettable that some of the play was deleted—a part which would have given Boyd Swanson a better opportunity to develop his portrayal of the dissolute son. As it was, his acting in this part was v e r y creditable. And Jacqueline James, Catherine Oleson, Robert Bovey and Orvin Messegee all acted their parts with spontaineity. However, the play itself is not one to bring out the best of an actor's ability. There is a lot of sentimental nonsense that is not even good romantic foolery. One doubts that "Holiday" gives a very accurate interpretation of American upper middle- class life. The humorous repartee in the play is somewhat stilted in parts (Continued on Page Four) o International Club Forms Conference To View Problems The International Relations club has organized a new club which they have named the World Economic Conference. This conference expects to study views held by different countries on tariffs, money and investment of capital in foreign countries. The club has been divided into committees and each committee will study a different question. The views will be presented at the regular meetings of the International Relations club. At the next meeting held December 6, the delegates who attended the sixth annual Students' International Conference at the University of Washington will give reports of their trip.

The winner of the award will be selected by the football squad as soon as they come back from the Thanksgiving vacation. The player's athletic ability, leadership, and spirit will all be taken into consideration by the men. A committee consisting of Coach Lappenbusch, representing the faculty, Jack Kemphaus, representing the student body, and Bob Lindsley, representing the paper, will meet and select-five names from the squad as possible winners of the award. From these five men the football squad will select the one who will have his name engraved on the trophy. The trophy will be in the shape of a full sized football, finished in silver and a new name will be engraved on it. each year. ___ o Recreational Reading Books Are on Display In Main Library Hall In the main hall of the-library will be found a display or nooks for recreational reading.

A manager's sweater was voted to be given to Loue Schaeffer in appreciation of his services for the past several quarters as athletic manager. Mr. Schaeffer has been forced to leave school because of illness. Trophy Proposed Otto Finley proposed that a trophy be given by the Northwest Viking to have engraved upon it each year the name of the most inspirational football player of the season. An award was also proposed prer sumably in form of a watch fob to be given to the player selected. The board agrees to have the Northwest Viking appoint a committee to select the trophy and to judge the qualities pf the inspiring leader. Next week's meeting is to be considered a most important one inasmuch as editor and business manager of the Northwest Viking and secretary of the board for the ensuing winter quarter are to be elected.

Opportunity to help will come to every community on December 1, the opening day of the Christmas seal sale. Christmas seals have been used for many years as a means of helping to p r e v e n t tuberculosis throughout the United States. Mrs. J. Earl Thornton, field secretary of the Washington Tuberculosis association, states our obligation clearly when she says: "Whether tuberculosis shall continue to take a terrific toll of human life and happiness, or be prevented depends upon every community. Cemeteries furnish mute evidence of the rav4 ages wrought by this disease. Christ-1 mas seals carry the burden of the message of prevention and there is a crying need for the spread of this message." •• • .• -—o-—•—— Theatre Guild Play Has Capacity House By Frank Pratt Playing to a capacity house, the Beliingham Theatre Guild opened its hew production last night, "The Black Flamingo".

Normal Not
To Ask For
More Funds
Normals May Ask for Permission
to Return to Warrant
Pay Basis
LACK OF FUNDS FORESEEN
University and State College May
Need More
President C. H. Fisher made public
recently the statement that the
Normal schools will not seek additional
financial support from the
state legislature when it convenes in
a special session. This announcement
came as a result of the statement
from the Washington State
college and the University of Washington
that they were preparing to
ask for increased appropriations.
The special session of the legislature
starts December 4.
This, in effect, means the Normal
schools will, seek permission to return
to the warrant pay basis. They
arre now operating on a cash basis,
which makes it necessary for actual
cash to be available before the
school may spend. As tax receipts
have lagged schools have been handicapped
with lack of funds, forcing
them to effect additional economies.
Taxes Hoped For
However, if payments of delinquent
taxes are adequate, President
Fisher says the Bellingham Normal
school will be in "fairly good shape
and could get along without additional
appropriations." For this reason
the Normal schools of the state
will not ask for anything more than
to spend money up to the appropriations
already set. To do this means
a return to the warrant basis. The
University and the State college will,
however, be forced to seek additional
funds.
President Fisher states he is en-couraged
bythe present amount of
delinquent ^taXes^ being: paid and
foresees the possibility that the Bellingham
Normal school will, not be
short, at all.

New Feature Started
Series of Historical Articles
to be Presented
A series of historical articles
about Northwest Washington
will be run from time to time
beginning with this week's Viking.
On page four of this
issue are two photographs, one
taken fifty years ago and one
taken this year. These cuts
vividly portray the growth of
the city.
The Verse Speaking Choir of the
San Jose Teachers' college gave an
unusual program in the assembly
Monday morning. Miss Elizabeth
Jenks directed the choir.
Participating in this choir were
eleven women and three men. Thirty-
five choir members were left at
home. Miss Jenks directs a choir of
men, one of women and a mixed
choir. The students graduate from
one choir to another until they finally
make the one which appeared
in our assembly.
Considering the number of voices
in the choir, the clearness of enunciation
was remarkable. Effects were
heightened by standing formations
taken by the choir, by gestures and
by the lighting effects.

Unusual Pottery
Studied In Art I
During the Week
Interesting Pieces from China and
Several from England
In Art Room
Miss Hazel Breakey's art I class
has been making a study of different
kinds of pottery the last week.
The pottery has been studied principally
from the standpoints of proportions,
color and appreciation. A
number of interesting pieces may be
found in the art room, particularly
two Chinese ginger jars and several
pieces from England and Italy. The
students have been inspecting several
pieces that are good looking
but inexpensive and have been
studying them from' an artistic
viewpoint.
Interesting Pieces
One small piece of pottery is significant
for its association and is
interesting to study. It was made
by Anton Lang, who plays a leading
part in the famous Passion Play at
Oberammergau. Another dish of

Vacation Announced
Many Students Plan to
Home for First Time
Visit
Thanksgiving vacation will begin
this afternoon and last until
the coming Monday.
Students will have a chance to
visit home for probably the first
time since the beginning of school.
Parents of first-quarter freshmen
will be told all the thrills of
going away to school—no doubt
with an air of the educated.
Some living at home will vow
to catch up on neglected studies
and actually only catch up -on
sleep. Others will comb the city

Exams Scheduled
Tests Are to Begin Second Week
of December
Final examinations will begin ten
days after the Thanksgiving holidays
close. The regular fall examination
schedule will get under way
Wednesday, December 13, and continue
throughout the week. Most of
the tests will be given Thursday, December
14, and Friday, December 15.
Regular class work will close Wednesday,
December 13, except for
practice teaching, which continues
through Friday.
By this plan it is hoped to avoid
the necessity of students taking two
or more tests in succession. Rooms
with large enough space have been
already assigned to the classes for
their test. However ,if any teacher
desires, they may give them in the
auditorium by getting a definite assignment
from Miss Bouck. Examination
schedule will be posted on
the bulletin board and all adjustments
should be made as soon as
possible, according to Dean Bever.

Paper Weights Cast
In Order To Study
Process of Molding
Electro-plated paper weights are
one of the projects now being completed
by Mr. Herbert Ruckmick's
industrial arts classes. When taking
up these projects, the student keeps
in mind that the type of work he
takes up must have a direct bearing
upon the teaching work.
While making the paper weights,
the first step is the making of the
pattern of wood- Then this is molded
in damp foundry sand which
contains enough clay to preserve the
shape of the pattern. Into this sand
mold hot metal is poured. Lead, copper
or aluminum may be used. After
this has set, or cooled, the weight is
either electro-plated or painted.
questions and issues raised will be
discussed by all of the speakers.

Play is Presented
'Holiday", Drama Club Offering,
Well Received
By William Pierron
There is very little to criticise in
the acting and direction of the
Drama club's presentation of Philip
Barry's play, "Holiday," on November
23 and 24. Any important adverse
criticism should be leveled at
the play itself, and not at the participants
or the directors.
It is regrettable that some of the
play was deleted—a part which
would have given Boyd Swanson a
better opportunity to develop his
portrayal of the dissolute son. As it
was, his acting in this part was
v e r y creditable. And Jacqueline
James, Catherine Oleson, Robert
Bovey and Orvin Messegee all acted
their parts with spontaineity.
However, the play itself is not one
to bring out the best of an actor's
ability. There is a lot of sentimental
nonsense that is not even good romantic
foolery. One doubts that
"Holiday" gives a very accurate interpretation
of American upper middle-
class life.
The humorous repartee in the
play is somewhat stilted in parts
