Death Notice
By Virginia Carver
Hello, Folks! We are so weak as
to spine and so flexible as to brain
matter thai we can just barely sit
np and take orange Juice... After
drinking a multitude of black cof­fee
and cramming deep into many a
coldauid dreary night we are fully
prepared to sleep for another five
weeks! And they calTit an educa­tion!
My dear, it's murder!

As Vic Myers says, "Some of the
people can part somewhere all of
the time; and all of the people can
park somewhere some of the time;
but all of the people cant park ev­erywhere
all of the time!" Ain't it
the truth? Just try parking around
in the back of the building and note
the number of laws you're breaking
when you see the neat little white
card which appears at the wheel.
-W.S.N.S.-
Fan mah brow! Have you seen
the latest in bathing togs? It leaves
as little to the imagination as did
our last history exam! The outfits
make the childish sun suits of the
summer just past look strangely like
full dress suits. It wont be long
until the sweet young thing will don
a lovely smile and. a straw hat and
start for the beach.

Imagine! A flock of prisoners
have -made another spectacular es­cape
from the county jail in Farm-ington,
Missouri! And there are so
many unemployed who'd be glad to

Well! That's just what they
get for being honest!

Dr Georgia Sattler, of Seattle,
Will Lecture Today
The little "friendly" dig about
originality in subjects, appearing in
Nit Witticisms last week hit us—
plunk! right on the head! So what
are we going to do? We're going to
talk about the war between Japan
and China for a while. That savors
of newness and originality—does it
not? They still occupy a ringside
seat on the top of the newspapers
of the country Cwe mean Japan and
China). Go ahead and fight it out,
folks! But for heaven's sake—re­member
not to play with loaded
guns or poisonous, gases, or cannons,
or bombs!
-W.S.N.S.-
Speaking of sad incidents! We
read of one which nearly takes the
.nurt covered cake! Mr. Nurtz, of
Chicago, had his. telephone taken
oat because of a name. Every time
someone called and asked who was
speaking and was innocently told
that it was Nurtz, the practical jok­er
would shout, "Nurtz yourself!"
and ring off! Perhaps it's for the
best! We'd rather read that he'd
had his telephone taken out than
something like—"Nurtz runs wild
and covers sidewalk with self!"

Glub Makes Decision
In Favor of Visitors
At a meeting attended by presi­dents
of all state institutions of
higher learning and the chairman
of the Board of Regents held in Ta-coma
on February 5, reductions in
administrative and faculty salaries
at all schools of higher learning
were agreed upon.
It was estimated the salary cuts
agreed upon will reduce expenses
between $300,000 and $400,000 an­nually.
.
Resolution Adopted
The following r e s o l u t i o n was
adopted:
"It is the sense of this meeting
that in view of general economic
conditions and heavy tax burdens
and a desire to aid in all possible
ways citizens of the state, expendi­tures
for operations be reduced to
the lowest point consistent with
proper educational standards, and
that administrative and faculty sal­aries,
effective at the beginning of
the academic year 1932-1933, be re­duced
according to the following
schedule:.
"Three thousand six hundred dol­lars
and up, 10 percent; $2,600 to
$3,500, 7% percent; $2,100 to $2,500,
5 percent; under $2,100, no reduc­tions."
The resolution was signed by the
following: W. A. Ritz, chairman of
Leaving tomorrow night, Presi­dent
O. H. Fisher of the Normal
school will make a trip through
the East to attend several educa­tional
meetings and conventions.
On February 19 and 20, Mr. Fish­er
will be present at the meeting of
the American Association of Teach­ers
Colleges and Normal Schools
which will be held in Washington,
D. C. During the following week
he will attend the annual meeting
of the Department of Superinten­dence,
and numerous conferences
of educational organizations which
will convene in the National Capi­tal.
At this time President Fisher
takes advantage of the opportunity
to hear many school authorities of
the country express their views on
educational subjects.
Following his stay in Washington,
the President will visit friends and
relatives in Pennsylvania, and prob­ably
will spend some time in New
York City. He expects to return
home via California in order to visit
normal schools and teachers' col­leges
in the South.
TRIP TO CALIFORNIA
FOR MISS LONGLEY
Miss Gertrude Longley, president
of the Faculty Forum, has taken a
six weeks' leave of absence- Her
father and sister are accompanying
her on a trip to California. They
plan to visit relatives and friends
in San Francisco arid Oakland.
Dr. Masters, of the research de­partment
and vice-president of the
Faculty Forum, has assumed the
duties of president during the ab­sence
of Miss Longeley.
As a breather in preparation for
their final drive in this year's bas­ketball
season, the Vikings will
match wits with the Yakima Junior
College next Tuesday evening, Feb­ruary
16, at the Whatcom gym. The
Junior Varsity will tangle with the
high-striding Ferndale town team.
The Yakima outfit kicked the
dope bucket clear out of sight in
their last game with the Vikings.
The final score was 27-28 for the
eastern team. This defeat was a
hard pill for the much-pummeled
Vikings to swallow and they're out
to even up this score with the vis­itors.
Badly Defeated
As a matter of comparative scores
the Vikings should take the Yakima
outfit with little trouble. Last week
the Ellensburg Wildcats dumped the
J. C.'s, 72-8. And as you remember,
the Wildcats took tthe Vikings by
some forty-five painful markers.
Coach Sam Carver holds little
doubt but that his charges will bowl
over the visitors by an impressive
score. With McBeath and Wahl at
the forward posts, Rork at center
and Sherman, Johanesen and Mc­Neil
alternating at the back-court
positions, the Vikings should prove
much too strong for the. Yakima
quintet.
The Junior College mentor has
two cracking good forwards in Da­vis
and Thorssell. Davis ran up
eleven markers against the local
clan in their last tangle. At center
will be seen Smith, with Gladson
and McPhee at the guard positions.
This team embraces several former
Yakima high school flashes and
they possess plenty of speed and
will be a constant threat to the
Viking defense.
The preliminary game will start
at 7:30 with the Varsity fracas fol­lowing
immediately.
The Kedroff Quartet, noted
group which is id appear here
on Wednesday, February 17,
has a world famed personnel.

the
N. N. KEDROFF FOUNDER
A short story, "Heart and Hand",
written by Miss Olive Edens, an
instructor in the English department
of this school from 1910 to her death
in 1930, has been accepted by the
Universal Film Company and a play
produced. Miss Edens' story was
first published by McCall's Maga­zine
in June, 1927.
Coming Soon
It will be shown at a local theater
in about a month under the title of
"The House Divided". Although the
plot is not identical with that of
Miss Edens' work, the San Juan
island setting remains the same.
The cast for the film includes such
stars as Walter Huston, Kent Doug­lass,
and Helen Chandler.
Pioneer's Daughter
Miss Edens was the daughter of
j . J. Edens, an early trustee of the
Normal school, in whose honor Ed­ens
Hall was named. She was also
the grand-daughter of Edward Eld-ridge,
one of the first settlers in
Whatcom county, and the second
cousin of Larry Carr, now in school
here.
o
Not long ago the President had
a day set-aside to shake hands with
the thousands who gathered for thai
purpose! Heaven help him! We
nearly Wilt in consternation when
we are launched into the midst of a
reception committee, let alone a
thousand butchers and bakers and
candlestick makers! Sometimes we
are glad we're insignificant—it's
not a bit hard on the constitution!

Aside from the usual assemblies two

Miss Sarah Truax Albert, who has
recently been to New York, witness­ing
play reading and acting perform­ances,
will appear Tuesday in sev­eral
plays and readings. The Thurs­day's
special assembly will be de­voted
to a lecture by Rev. Joseph
A. Stevenson, D. D., general director
of the Department of Moral Wel­fare,
Presbyterian Board of Chris­tian
Education. Mr. Stevenson has
held many pastorates and was also
at one time dean of Occidental
College, Los Angeles.
Foster Speaks Twice
On Friday, Dr. William T. Foster,
of Newton, Mass., for whose ap­pearance
arrangements have been
made by President Q. E. Holland, of
Washington State College, will de­livertwo"
addresses. He is now on
an extended^lfetture tour of colleges
through the jVVest. Dr Foster de­livered
the commencement address­es
at the Uinversity of Idaho arid
Washmgton State'last:;sp>i^ but
Clark Gable just doesn't click
with Naomi Watson, Normal's con­tribution
to dramatic art.
There are four types of people
that Naomi just can't like—those
who are easily offended, the sar­castic
variety, super-sophisticates,
and those addicted to screaming in
most anybody's ears at basketball
games. Warning—to such! Maybe
Kno-me's temperamental.
Toasted cheese sandwiches, mince
pie, dancing, swimming, tennis, bru­nettes
and the color green are Na­omi's
very special fancies.
Mrs. Muskat, she of the infernal
expression "dearie," is the circus
character Naomi plays in "Liliom,"
the Drama club presentation for
winter" quarter.
When asked how long she has
been here, Naomi said, "Since I was
less than a year old," You really
should be graduating about now,
Naomi. To which she replied, "Ah,
shucks!"
Bill Button Speaks?
Fiscur, the Oope fiend, who starts
Liliom on the proverbial downward
trail, is characterized by Bill But­ton.
Bill graduated in '30 from Toledo
high school, Toledo, Washington.
He was the judge in last quarter's
play, "Camille." Bill's a busy stu­dent
and dpesn't have much time to
expatiate upon his likes and dislikes
to any mere interviewer, but he
does say that he'd rather play true
character roles than any other type.

Choice of Goddard and Lensrud
With a tear in his eye and a quiv­er
of the Up, Johnny Lensrud, the
handsome blonde of the "Fire Hall"
joint, broke down and told the re­porter
that he received his first.
Valentine at the tender age of 2
from the little girl next door. He
sent his first Valentine at the same
age to the little girl across the
street. "I really think Valentine
greetings are a bunch of horseradish
because I hate sentiment, but my
favorite Valentines are the ones
with, the suckers on 'em. I got one
of those last year; Because of the
present depression I don't expect to

"It was at the sweet age of 6
years that I received my first Val­entine
from darling little Bobby.
He's still darling but he's married
now," explains the one and only
Grace Goddard. "It was an awful­ly
pretty pink heart and all lacey
that said "To My Sweetheart."
Grace's favorite Valentines are the
heart shaped boxes and are covered
with red satin. "Anyway, I'm nuts
about cream chocolates," so. she
says. Grace recalls to her memory
the first Valentine she sent and it
was to the nice boy who used-'."to
spend his; lunch money for candy

after being asked if she was send­ing,
any Valentines this year, Grace
replied, "Weil, I might send one. I

A most attractive program of the
Musical Artists course is expected
when the Kedroff quartet, a group
of famous Russian artists,: jnake
their appearance at the FirstJPn&
byterian Church on Wednesday,
February 17. ^
Of great fame in its native coun­try,
having toured Europe many
times prior to the World War, iwidV
with a brilliant record of a quarter
of a century's work as the best 0Xt
poneht of Russian folk and chtircli
music, the Quartet left Ru^siajM:
1923. Since that time they lmw>
toured Germany, Holland, France,
Belgium, Switzerland, Spam, Ppirtu-gali
England, Ireland and Srotland,
and have sung in theK presence ^bf:
King George of England, thei queens
of Spain and Belgium and the Pres­ident
of France.
World Known Personel
The Kedroff quartet was original­ly
founded by Prof. N. N. Kedroff
in 1897:: his brother, C. N. Kedroff,
joining in 1910, and MM. I. K. |)en-issoff
and T. F. Kasakoff in 1?20.
Thus orzaniged they have been sing­ing
ever since. The Kedroff quar­tet
was the favorite enseniWe^iof
the late Czar, and Prof. N.M. Ked­roff
to this day keeps with; JCajre
those presents received by "him from
his emperor—a watch with the Rus­sian
coat of arms on the case,and
several royal medallions which have
remained untouched after the de­struction
of his property during the
Russian revolution.
Decorated by-French-
In May, 1927, in Paris, the Quar­tet
celebrated its 30th anniversary.
The decorations which the artists
wear on the concert are those pre­sented
to them by the French gov­ernment.
On January 7, 1928, the
Quartet made its American debut,,
and on October 3, 1928, opened its
second season, appearing in Carne­gie
Hall, New York.
In three seasons before the Amer­ican
public, the Kedroff Quartet
has won a triumph which rivals
their conquest of the music world
