Hello, fellow sufferers! Our opin­ion
is that anyone who can carry
on even sparsely intelligent conver­sation
this week ts absolutely a
genips. p a r s is strangely littered
with Psychology, history, essays,
and poetry. And the tests, my dear
—they are made in such a way as to
bring out the exact but perhaps em-harrassing
amount of mentality
you've hidden away Oh, well!

Those persons who missed seeing
"Liiiom'':. , may indeed consider
themselves unfortunate. The casting
was excellent and the acting so
well done. that it surprised many.
And as for the story—it left a funny
feeling in the pit of the abdomen
and an unsuppressable desire to
whistle, "Look out, here comes the
d Police!" Imagine an amateur
production sporting a theme song.
W.S.N.S.—
The saddest words
Of peri or tongue
Are, "Remember, dear—
You're still quite young".
: —W.S.N.S.-
....This anti-hoard drive makes us
chortle in suppressed glee. Those
who have no money to speak of are
preaching the crime of hoarding it,
and those who have a lot of money
(if there are such rare creatures
left. We wonder—because we for­got
our lunch and tried several
prospects) are quietly laying it
away in grandpa's striped sock until'
better times approach. Is'nt it fu­tile?
——W.S.N.S.
Dame fashion demands that Mi­lady
wear little veils to cover her
comely features... Well venture to
say that it will be difficult for her
to remain coy' and blow her nose
at the same time.
— W.S.N.S.
Roll on, thou heartless, cold exami­nations,
roll-
Ten thousand, students curse o'er
thee in vain!
And when they gel the grades and
take the toll—
It reads from left to right—"She
goes insane!"
——W.S.N.S. —
Someone suggested that we should
take up a bit of good old free verse
in this day and age when no one
ever pays for anything anyway. Not
a bad idea—eh, what?
W.S.N.S.
....You read the article about the lad
who was kidnapped ten years ago
by group of people who spoke and
wrote a strange language, didn't
you? Right out of our own little
mind we figured—if the kidnappers
involved wore racoon coats, it's a
cinch, they were a bunch of ex-col-iegians
whose papas had neglect­ed
to extend ye monthly check.
(Any member of a college faculty
can verify the part about the
strange writing and speaking!)
——W.S.N;S.—-—
Ah! Will wonders never cease?
America's women have adopted
the garb of poor Gnandi for
lingerie purposes! Everything,
even the grotesque safety pin
as a clasp, has been taken liter­ally
from the patient goat herd-erfe
costume. Perhaps itffcs a
good thing that our friend, Al
.Capone, is at leisure in the
sanctity of the pen. At least he's
safe from the ever prying, ever
investigating American female
public!

sociology.
Miss Nora B. Cummins, who has
been acting dean during the winter
quarter, will again take up her
classes in political science, contem­porary
European history and grade
school history for the spring quar­ter.
After sponsoring the .posting of a
petition with the hopes of amending
the present condition of compulsory
purchasing of the school's annual
yearbook, "The Klipsun," the Men's
Club will submit the proposal to the
Student Body for signing' in the
near future.
Immediate action was voted for
in the recent club meeting, with the
hopes that the fee of $3 couid be
abolished from the tuition of spring
quarter. Numerous suggestions were
made concerning the future buying
of the yearbook, but it was decided
to submit the matter before the
whole Student Body.
It was stressed in the meeting by
Roy Abbott, president, the import­ance
of complete co-operation in
the paying of the quarterly dues.
Jimmie Stoddard read the financial
report of the club and Aubrey
Lundberg, dance chairman, gave a
report showing: that the club had
failed to raise money enough to pay
expenses on the last dance.

Kochanski Program
Heard Last Monday
by Lovers of Music
A very large audience of students
and music lovers of the Bellingham
public enjoyed the delightful con­cert
of Paul Kochanski, Polish vio­linist,
on last MOnday evening.
Kochanski was born in the same
country that gave Chopin and Pad-erewski
to the world. He has stud­ied
in many of the most noted mu­sic
conservatories throughout the
world and has given many concerts
in France, Germany, Russia, Spain
and Egypt.
Kochanski came to Bellingham
under the auspices of the Women's
Music Club and the Bellingham
State Normal School, as a feature
of the musical artists course.

COLIN CAMPBELL HAS HAPPY
MEMORIES OF SCHOOL YEAR
(By Debby Altose)
How often have we heard, the sentence, "Parting is such sweet sor­row"..
Shakespeare originated it in one of his plays and it lives till this
this day as it is such a characteristic remark.
It comes home to us with the knowledge that Colin Campbell, president
of the Student Body Association, has resigned his position previous to
completion of his term of office and is to leave the Normal after this
quarter. Colin was yell leader last year, and is well known to all of us.
Memories Happy Ones
He hits attended this institution two years and to him the acquaintances
and experiences he has encountered here will remain as some of the hap­piest
ones of his life.
He is going to work Spring and Summer, and. then enter the University
of Washington as a junior next Fall in the: school of Business Admin­istration.
.. •" • ~.' "'" •' •'•'•" -•••.•" •
r Likes New System
Colin says that he believes the hew election system which the students
recently adopted [to be very good. It witt stimulate an interest in school
elections and school life which, he thinks, has been lacking these last few
years. "Although," he said, "I believe this wiWiri^pve rapidly as the
school is now being'changed to a three-year mstitultioh+'^t:
He wishes to express his appreciation of the cooperation given him
during his administration... He has enjoyed, his 'tioptk'h^ey^^nitich and
is "sorry to leave the old-place, all right." ''.^''M^vwfr'Z/-'-
Today is his last day at Normal, arid as we wislf kith "Q^

Faculty Critic Reviews Drama
Club Presentation of "Liiiom »
By Miss Lucy Kangley
In its production last Thursday
and Friday of "Liiiom," by Ferenc
Molnar, the Drama Club has set a
high standard for itself. Belling­ham
audiences have come to expect
something outstanding in the plays
directed by Mr. Hoppe, and it is to
his great credit that he never dis­appoints
them.
"Liiiom" is not an easy play to
produce. It is so full of meanings
that, if it is not intelligently per­ceived
and that perception empha­sized
in the performance, it can be­come
quite meaningless. The char­acter
of Liiiom, about whom the
play centers; is an instance of this.
The actor must see in Liiiom some­thing
other than the bully and
braggart which a surface interpre­tation
of his lines would suggest.
Liiiom is a blundering child lost in
a chaotic world. Untamed, full of
the vital forces that are the source
at once of all that' is creative and
all that is destructive in life, he
fascinates the people with whom he
comes into contact. Yet his strength
is deceptive, his boasts a shouting
down of disturbing fears, his abuse
of the yielding Julie a perverse and
inverted kind; of tenderness. He
would be strong before her, shine
before her, protect her^ but he can­not.
Life is stronger than he; and
he cannot even come to terms with
it. " Therefore he avenges himself
upon life by hurting Julie, the thing
he loves most.
Preston W ^ h t caugbjfc ^
of t t e rcte^
Liiiom the elemental creature Mol­nar
intended him to be. The change'
at the close of the first: act from
the bully to the rough-spoken, only
half articulate lover, full of a ten­derness
that is as unexplainable to
himself as was his former anger,
was skilfully made.
Dorothy Fiala is to be commend­ed
for the beautiful restraint with
which she played the difficult role
of Julie. The part could easily be
sentimentalized. Goodness always
risks being made a negative thing.
With Julie, as portrayed by Miss
Fiala, it is a positive force, the
manifestation of hidden powers. In
only one scene, the death of Liiiom,
is she disappointing. The emotional
effect fell flat. Perhaps, the fault
is Molnar's. The portrayal of ain
emotion kept too sharply in check,
of a state of mind allowed almost
no objective expression, is perhaps
fitter material for the novel than
the drama.
While.all the roles were capably
taken, the piece of acting done by
Wihiam Button in the part of Fis-cur
was outstanding. He seemed so
much an embodiment of evil, a kind
of nameless, unclean evil, that his
every_ motion suggested something
sinister.' ;••'.:'
Marie and Wolf, whom Molnar
comes perhaps too perilously close
to making "comic l o v e - i n the
good old melodrama, sense, were
yrell, portrayied by Martha Shudshift
and Anthony Gross. They are ob-vibusly
used as a contrast to Liiiom
and Julie. Wolf, whpse name sug­gests
that Molnar was depending
upon the psychological fact of the
