Dick Albert and Christine Albers,
four quarter nominees, and Marydel
Conrad and Otto Finley, on the
three quarter ticket, will be the can­didates
at the general election next
Monday, November 13. These four
candidates were selected in the pri­mary
election.
Under the supervision of Julia
Christensen, chairman of the elec­tion
committee, the primary election
was held last Tuesday in room 119.
As the voting was done by ballots,
Harriet Rickerson and Victor Dickr
enson were in charge of the ballot
boxes. Often in past elections reg­ular
voting machines as used in city
elections have been used. However,
because these machines were not
available at the time, ballot boxes
were used. This method will also
be used for the general election Mon­day,
in room 119.
Moderate Vote Cast
According to John Christy, student
prexy, slightly less than 50 per cent
of the student body voted. This fig­ure,
he said, is about the average,
and was raised last year when about
70 per cent voted. In Tuesday's as­sembly
candidates for the primary
were presented to make campaign
speeches. Those presented were:
four quarter nominees, Christine
Albers, Dick Albert, and Bill Pier-ron;
three quarter nominees, Otto
Finley, Marydel Conrad, Kenneth
Burnet, and the petition candidate,
Harry Goheen. The last named can­didate
was nominated by a petition
of more than 25 signatures.
The general election Monday will
again be in charge of Julia Christen­sen.

La Follette Speaks
Audience of Approximately 1500
Hear Young Senator
The United States is in a very
dangerous position with commodity
prices up, farm prices down, and
consumers' purchasing power at a
standstill, so Robert M. La Follette,
Jr., America's youngest, and Wis­consin's
popular United States sen­ator,
told the audience of approxi­mately
1500 people, at the First
Christian church on Dupont street,
last Monday evening.
If the American people could
speak as a unit, he believed they
would appeal to Roosevelt to use his
power quickly to restore purchasing
power: "even if he has to run over
vested interests standing in the
way".
La Follette explained that his test
of the Roosevelt policy towards^ nat­ional
recovery was based mainly on
the question: Is it going to restore
purchasing power? He said his
stand against the emergency bank­ing
act and the economy bill was
predicated on this question. He
flayed the National Economy league
for its attack on World war vet­erans.
The Senator quoted the following
figures showing that in 1928 those
persons with incomes of $5,000 and
less bought 80 per cent of the goods
produced, while all persons with in­comes
of $5,000 or over bought only
20 per cent.
Numerous questions pertaining to
present day conditions were asked
Mr. La Follette, after his address,
by the people in the audience.

Edited by E. Morrison
Last Spring
Vikings Will
Clash With
Lutheranites
Handicapped Vikings Will Fight the
Strong Lutheran Team
Here Today
CHANCES EVEN ON OUTCOME
Lutherans Have Pair of Strong
Backfield Men
Ratings have been received from
the National Socialistic Press asso­ciation
by Eileen Morrison, editor
of last year's Klipsun. The sum­mary
of the scores is as follows:
Plan of book and theme, 140; al­bum
and classes, 50; organization,
activities, athletics, 140; administra­tion
and faculty, 50; school life, 95;
financial status, 50; editing and
make-up, 100; originality, novelty,
innovation, 30; mechanical consid­erations,
205, totalling 860 points
out of a possible 1000."
The Klipsun was up to standard
in a large percentage of depart­ments
except for originality, novel­ty
and innovation, in which the
least poits were made.
For two consecutive years, 1932,
and 1933, the Klipsun -has received
first class ranking in the National
Scholastic Press association. Both
years the annual entered in com­petition,
it brought first rank hon­ors.
This year's staff hopes to bring
recognition for a third time in,a
row to the school's year book.
Normal Vikings will meet the Pa­cific
Lutheran college this afternoon
under handicap of injuries received
in the game at Olympia against St.
Martin's last Saturday.
Normal's chances of winning the
game seem to be waning with sev­eral
men injured. Sinko has a bad
knee and may not be in the starting
lineup, while both Williams and
Miller have been out with injuries
since the game last Saturday. Smick
and Ullin have had intestinal flu.
When asked for his opinion on
the game, Coach Chuck Lappen­busch
replied: "In the shape we are
in now we'll be lucky if we hold our
own in that game. It'll take all
we've got to keep up with their fast
backfield and passing attack."
Lutherans Look Strong
Although they have had a bad
start thus far in the season, the
Lutherans are considered a strong
team and have been developing their
backfield with a strong passing at­tack,
with which they scored against
St. Martin's.
Moe, a halfback from Anacortes,
is rated as an outstanding back,
combining his expert passing with
a pair of hips that are more than
a little difficult to tackle. Two ends
have been doing more than their
share of catching passes, while Pe­terson,
a big tackle, has been playing
a hard fighting game.
The two teams will average about
the same in weight so that the Lu­therans'
only advantage will be that
Normal is handicapped through in­juries.
The lineup has not been decided
definitely.
Moffet Will Speak
Af Alkisiah Meeting
Miss Moffet of the Campus school
will speak at the meeting of the
Alkisiah club Monday, November 13.
She will discuss the traditions of the
Alkisiah club, which is one of the
oldest organizations in the school.
Miss Moffet was one of the first ad­visers
of the club.
Miss Cummins will tell the girls
about the advantages of joining the
Junior Federation of Women's Clubs.
The object of the Alkisiah club is
to further the appreciation of music,
art and travel. Miss Mathews, who
is a new member of the music de­partment,
is the adviser of the Al­kisiah
this year.

the study of the present con­ditions
of the various nations of the
world. /,
At each meeting beginning with
November 13, some student will lead
a discussion on a certain nation, and
the conditions of that nation both
politically and economically will be
considered.
Material for study will be obtained
from the writings of George, Sokols­ky
and Maxim Litivnoff, foreign af­fairs
commissar.
All members are urged to attend
the conference.
George E. Sokolsky, author and
lecturer on China, Japan, and Rus­sia,

Asia."
Mr. Sokolsky, who was born in
Utica, New York, went to Russia in

He edited an allied war paper in
Petrograd, until the Soviet govern­ment
sent him out of the country
and into China. In Tientsin he ed
ited the North China Star, an Amer­ican
newspaper; in Shanghai, the
Far Eastern Review; was political
correspondent for the North China
Daily News; and has held many dis
tinguished positions. He is now rec
ognized as" the leading American
authority in his field. Mr. Sokolsky

such eminent people as Pearl Buck,
Walter Lippman, and Jacob Gould
Schurman.

a. m., in order to allow the lecturer
time to finish.

Hoppe Reviews Play
In Morning Assembly
This morning's assembly was con­ducted
by Mr. Hoppe, who gave a
review of the play, "Both Your
Houses," by Maxwell. Anderson. This
play has been awarded the Pulitzer
prize for 1933. The Pulitzer prize is
a cash award, and the winner is
chosen each year by the Pulitzer
prize committee of Columbia univer­sity.
The prize plays are selected
according to their influence and in
terpretation ol American life and
morals.
This play is an objective study of
character. It deals with modern pol­itics
and gives a scornful criticism
of the American government. This
play represents vividly in its action
the new idea of a government for
the people instead of for the small
group of capitalists.

Test Taken by 10,000 Students All
Over Nation
All students who took the tests
in Literary Acquaintance, General
Science, English Usage, Foreign Lit­erature,
Fine Arts, and History, dur­ing
the spring quarter, may obtain
their scores by asking for them in
room 312. These tests were taken
by over 10,000 students in over one
hundred different colleges. The
scores which are being given out
tell the rank.of the student on each
of the tests in relation to the
achievement of all other students
who took the test. The average score
made by Bellingham students on
each test is given so each student
may compare his achievement with
other Bellingham students.
If you took these tests the results
will help you answer three important
questions:
1. How successful am I likely to be
in future school work?
2. Am I likely to succeed in get­ting
a Bachelor's, Master's or Doc­tor's
degree if I wish to work for
one?
3. If I work for a degree in what
subject or subjects should I special­ize?
Be sure to get the report of these
tests from room 312.
