A certain professor of Education
in this school thinks that nearly
every one of the numerous radio

taking their last breath before pass-ling
into the great beyond! We say

double check for the Hawaiian

Gary Cooper, famed Hollywood
actor, says the best way he knows
of getting rid of the blues is to take
a long horseback ride. We tried
it, and this is our statement—it
simply isn't logical! Why trade
some measley little blues for a
flock of black and blues?

Varied and weighty questions

pay as a man for equal work? WeB

no! Some people think that there's
not enough work in the home for
them to do—but, on the other
hand, if they'd discard ye famouse

and make some food like "mother
used to make" perhaps a few of the
men would find that they wouldn't
have to drink kraut juice for "that

,-- Speaking of publicity — Japan
takes the proverbial cake! Every
little move she makes—bing! Her
name is plastered in big letters
somewhere on the upper region of
every newspaper published. They're
shrewd people, too, these Japanese,
and inclined to be a trifle danger­ous
if not taken in the right way.
People are beginning to think they
should be shaken well before break­fast
and put in a cool, dry place for
a couple of generations. Then
again—lots of them would give a
good old eye tooth to get a little
of their publicity for personal use!

What a lot of talk there's been
about Hoover lately, both pro and

raving about how much
better he could do. We dare him
to roll up his sleeves and try! He'd
find it such hot work that he'd wish
himself back on his little soap box.
That same man made a statement
something like this, too." What we
need is another war. There are too
many people!" And I suppose, in
the killing off process, the bullets
and bombs and gas and cannon
balls would have lots of fun dodg­ing

Requirements of Eligibility for
Getting Sweater Awards
Was Discussed
CONSTITUTION CHANGED
A short meeting of the Board of
Control will be held iate tnis after­noon,
after rec hour to decide which
orchestra will play for the weekly
recreational periods throughout the
quarter. This action was decided
upon at the regular meeting of the
Board, Wednesday, Jan. Is.
Sivert Skotheim, chairman of an
investigation committee, reported
at the Wednesday meeting on the
advisability of changing the re­quirements
for eligibility in ob­taining
an athletic sweater award
so that they would be consistent
with the participation requirements
as set by the State Normal Trus­tee's
Board last spring.
Ruling Differs
The requirements as outlined in
Article 3 Section 6 of the by-laws
of the Students' Association consti­tution
of this school are: "That no
individual shall receive an award
who has not completed at least
twelve hours of satisfactory work in
the institution in the quarter in
which he has earned his sweater.
That the student shall turn out for
each respective activity during
the entire season unless excused by
the coach for some legitimate reas­on."
The ruling of the trustees is
that only ten hours of satisfactory
work are to be required in order to
participate.
•'•'•'•'* Change Proposed' . r
Skotheim, after conferring with
Coach S. E. Carver and President
C. H. Fisher on the subject, sug­gested
that a change, be made in
the constitution. The Board of
Control favored the report and
passed a motion tnat Skotheim's
suggested be presented to the
student association as a whole, for
a vote at some future date.
It was further decided that Pres­ident
Colin Campbell appoint a
committee to investigate any pos­sible
changes in the constitution, as
it now stands, to make it consistent
with the new state requirements
which make this school a three-year
institution. The constitution
in its present form was written to

PLANS FOR WINTER
QUARTER DISCUSSED
W. A. A. Officers, Chairman and
Advisers Meet Monday
Officers, sports chairmen, and
advisers of the Women's Athletic
association met last Monday even­ing,
January 11, at the home of
Miss Weythman for supper and dis­cussion
of the plans for winter
quarter activities.
Possibilities of sending a dele­gate
to an athletic association con­ference
to be held in April in Los
Angeles were discussed. The or­ganization
is in favor of having a
representative attend this confer­ence.
. For the purpose of looking into
the Los Angeles meeting further
Dorothw Top and Theona Flick
were, chosen as a committee.
Plans for several social and spe­cial
activities were also discussed
at the supper meeting. It was
suggested that a boys' and girls'
dance be held on February 12. June
McLeod was appointed chairman of
this and will appoint her own
committees at an early date.
Plans for an outing to the mead­ows
in the snowwere; also-made.
Jan. 30 was chosen.-"as a tentative
date, although .^^p':is;';^';:jqtdtfii:

fan. 27 Is New Date
Set for Concert of
Symphony Orchestra
That the date of the Little Sym­phony
concert will be changed to
Wednesday, January 27, from Jan­uary
19, the date previously set,
was announced by Harold B. Smith,
director.
This change was made due to
conflicting dates. As some of the
members are from the Seattle Sym­phony,
it was impossible to have it
a week from the original date be­cause
Seattle will hold its sym­phony
concert at that time.
The program for the event is as
follows: Symphony in B minor,
Schubert; overture, "Midsummer
Night's Dream," Mendelssohn; Bal­let
Suite, Gluck; Intermezzo from
"Naive," Delibes; Polonaise from
" B o r i s Godounof," Moussorgsky;
Entr'acte from "Rosemunde," Schu­bert;
Aragonaise from "Le-Cid,"
Massenet.
The program will begin at 8:20
and student activity tickets will ad­mit,
as was announced before.
Frosh Class Party
Will Be "All Wet"
In Deep Sea Idea
The freshman class party to be
held January 29 in the big gym is
expected to be a unique affair, with
a selected committee working on a
"deep sea" idea. , Jack Burns' or­chestra
will play.
Bennerstrom Chairman
The party is being headed by the
general chairman, Liilian Benner­strom,
who is assisted i>y a general
committee consisting of L o u i se
Armstrong, Naomi Watson, Mar-jbrie
Morris and June Jevning.
Those on the decoration committee
are Verna Thomas, Eleanor Fraser,
Joyce Pf ueller, Doris McElmon, Ro-sanne
Young, Grace Goddard, How­ard
Wasley, Stewart Blythe, Jimmy
Thompson and Bob Diehl. The
program committee, Marjorie Mor­ris
and Dorothy Fiala, and refresh­ment
committee, June Jevning and
Jean McMillan.
Plans Approved
"Mr. Hoppe, our faculty adviser,
is very much in favor of the plans
for the party," says Miss Benner­strom,
"and I believe enthusiasm
should be found among the class
more than is shown concerning
usual class functions."
Sophomores who were freshmen
last quarter will be given tickets to
the party because no party was
held last quarter.
WOMEN ASSEMBLE
WITH PURPOSE OF
FORMING PEP CLUB
Girls Given Opportunity to Sign
on Bulletin Board for
Membership to Club
CLUB ADVISERS CHOSEN
(Editorial Comment; See Page 2)
With the purpose of creating pep
and stimulating school spirit, a
group of girls have been meeting to
organize a Pep Club.
Before the club can become an
organization their constitution must
pass the faculty board of affairs.
A committee of Elsie O'Donnell,
chairman, Ruth Neal, Mary Hibbs
and Naomi Watson was elected to
draw up a constitution. This will
be submitted to the girls for ap­proval
before it goes to the board.
Horton Adviser
Miss Margary Horton, swimming
instructor, was elected as adviser to
the club.
All girls who are interested in
such an organization were given the
opportunity to sign up on the bul­letin
board. After today the mem­bership
will be closed for the rest
of this quarter.
Meetings Held
Two meetings were held this
week. At the first meeting Miss
Mildred Tremain, secretary to the
dean of women and now acting in
her place, explained to the girls the
reason that a Pep club which was
started two years ago was a failure.
A special meeting was held Wed­nesday
noon for the girls to decide
on some issues to be in the con­stitution.

REC HOUR ORCHESTRA
WILL COMPETE TODAY
Future Whitemans, Lombardos,
and Arnheims will display their
wares during the Rec hour this.af­ternoon
in the competitive tryout
to decide which orchestra will dis­pense
tantalizing tunes and snappy
syncopation for the benefit of danc­ers
at the Rec hour this quarter.
Every band that desires a chance
to tryout will be given an allotted
time during the Rec hour from 4
to 5:30 this afternoon and at the
conclusion of the dance the Board
of Control headed by Colin Camp­bell
will make the selection.
Various Courses Organized For
Students Interested In Music
Are there courses in Music of-A
fered to students of this school
as mediums for individual mus­ical
expression?
"Many courses are organized for
the benefit of students interested
in almost every phase of music ac­cording
to H. B. Smitn, director of
Music department.
Through the medium of phono­graph
records the student becomes
familiar with works of the great
composers of the world. Composi­tions
of Beethoven, Liszt, Grieg,
Bach, and some of the moderns, are
analyzed and explained. The stu­dent
in Music Appreciation learns
to understand good music. Not
only is he taught to know good mu­sic
when he hears it but to discern
which is good and which poor.
Is there a school orchestra? Ac­cording
to Mr. Smith, there is no
such actual organization, but the
students who have had enough mu­sical
training to warrant their po­sition
in a worthwhile orchestra are
given one credit for each concert
they perform as members of the
Bellingham Little Symphony Or­chestra,
conducted by Mr. Smith.
Credit Given
This year two hours' credit per
quarter is given the student who
takes lessons individually from ap­proved
instructors of piano, violin,
'cello, voice, organ and band or or­chestral
instruments. Next year,
however, only one credit per quar­ter
will be given for such work.
Variety Offered
Courses ranging from beginning
sight singing to advanced conduct­ing
are listed in the annual catalog

Old Art Supreme, States Miss
Isabella Burnada In Interview
"Though modern art is increasing and developing, it will never replace
the old art," stated Miss Isabella Burnada, contralto, who appeared
in last Tuesday's assembly. She claims modern art is still searching for
ideas which they are not able to
find at present. She realized this
when she was in Paris and visited
the modern art exhibition there.
Appears In Court
The most thrilling experience of.
her singing career was when she
was ordered by the king of Eng
to appear at Buckingham palace.
This was in 1920, when the ban on
professional artists was raised.
"I do not care ror Jazz," Miss
Burnada stated, "and I believe it is
dying away. The-only good quality
it' has is rhythm but sometimes
this also is ruined." She believes
that the public is constantly de­manding
better music.
First Appearance
Miss Burnada was born on the
Isle of Mauritius, of f the southeast
coast of Africa^ The first time she
ever appeared as a singer it was to
take the place of her teacher at the
Gallo-Roman theater. She admits
she was very fr^hten^
her first
of such enormous size.
At her concert last Tuesday she
was accompanied by Dorothy Mile-son,
piano, and Mildred Johnson,
'cellist.

Aside from being a playwright
and actor, Mr. Robinson is also. Ire­land's
foremost producer of plays at
the present time. He is the man­ager
and director of the Abbey
Theater, Dublin, which has been
called "the mother of the Little
Theater movement of the world."
The Irish people have come to
regard the Abbey Theater of such
importance that it has been voted
a subsidy by the Parliament of the
Irish Free State. Mr. Robinson is
one of the board of-directors of the
theater, along' with Lady Gregory,
William Butler Yeats and Walter
Starkie.

class which is studying the evolu­tion
of the symphony. Mr. Smith
says that soon he hopes to be able
to hold classes in French, Italian
and German opera. Those will not
be studied historically, but in such
a manner as to enable any person
to understand and gain a true en­joyment
of the opera.
Evolution Studied
History of music offers the evo­lution
of scales and notation, music
of the early church, the develop­ment
of the opera and oratorio, the
rise of instrumental music, and the
period of Bach and Handel, Haydn,
Mozart and Beethoven. In the sec­ond
course in history of music, op­era
and romantic works are the
materials forming the bases for
study. Contemporary music and the
rise of the modern Russian and
French schools conclude the course.
