The House of Representatives of
Congress passed one of the most
sensible measures last Monday that
has yet been voted on in this nation
of. unriest and turmoil. A.large vote
was cast. hr! favor of freeing the
'Philippine'Islands after an eight-year
period. U. £>. army and navy
fores will remain in control of the
islands during this eight-year per­iod.
We call this a sensible meas­ure
in that it will help bring the
chocolate colored inhabitants of the
Philippines around to their senses.
In the Orient, where jealousy and
strife are running rampant, the tiny
insular possessions would stand
about as much' chance of retaining
their freedom-as a male student
does at the Normal school.

By BOB WALTERS ..
The or school has gone "big
time" for the ensuing Students' As­sociation
elections with a nominat­ing
convention, primary election,
and now that new institution for
the prevention of writer's cramp-real
voting machines, and there will
be two of them.
These machines will be set into
operation next Monday morning,
and will be there for use in room
103 until 3 o'clock that evening.
This is the first tune that this
newly-popular system of balloting
has ever been used here at the
school.
Loaned by County
These machines nave been loaned
by the county, through the permis­sion
of the county auditor, G. P.
Kincaid. They will also be used for
the final vote one week from today,
with the same hours and regulations
prevailing..
This vote will also be taken by
the poll method instead of the for­mer
system of assembly vote. Among
other influences that brought this
change in balloting, the recent con­vention
went on record as favoring
the use of polls instead of a col­lective
vote at assembly hour.
; A special election edition of the
Northwest Viking will be published
Friday afternoon, April 15, after the
closing, of the polls and will contain
the results of the general election.
The papers will be distributed be­tween
5 and 5:30 at rec hour and
will beravailable during the dinner
hour at Edens Hall.-1 <••;'••:-••-
Petitions Few
But three candidates have been
added by petition to that list form­ulated
by the nominating conven­tion
of a week ago. These are Vir­ginia
Carver and. Jerry McCarthy,
for the four-quarter representative
election, and Theona Flick, for the
vice-presidency.
Janet McArthur has definitely de­cided
to withdraw and her name
has been stricken from the field of
entrants for the vice-president post.
With the addition of Miss Flick,
the list will remain at three—
Vaughan Howell, Doris McElmon
and Theona Flick.
No Presidential Vote
There will be no voting done
Monday on the presidential ballot
as it is already limited to its neces­sary
two candidates. These ' were
put up at the convention and no
additions have been forthcoming
from the signature source.
The same holds true with the race
for the faculty adviser to the board.
Dr. E. A. Bond, who has served in
this capacity longer than has any
one individual, and Edward J. Arnt-zen,
who has served on the board
periodically, are the only two can-

Former Normal Instructor's -Work
Used in Movie
Miss Olive Edens' story "Heart
and Hand" which first appeared in
McCalPs Magazine for June, 1927,
has been dramatized and is how be­ing
shown at the Grand Theater
under the name of "The House Di­vided".
Of interest to the people
of Beilingham is the fact that Mar­ietta
and Beilingham constitute the
setting of the play.
Miss Edens was an instructor of
English here from 1910 until her
death in 1930. She was the daugh­ter
of J. J. Edens, an early trustee
of the Normal school, in whose hon­or
Edens Hall was named.

of Control was called to order by
Vice-President Nellie Cox last Tues­day,
April 5. Discussion of numer­ous
questions, including elections,
Campus Day, W. A. A., and the
Northwest Viking, constituted one
of the busiest sessions of the year.
Scene Loft Report
Sivert Skotheim, w i t h E l s ie
O'Donnell, reported on the Drama
Club scene loft. A new lock was
placedfoh the room'and many sug­gestions
were formulated to better
the Drama Club's workshop and
storeroom. The committee con­ferred
with President Fisher, who
in turn will meet with Mr. Hopped
to reach definite conclusions on
changing the loft.
Discussion followed concerning rec
hour tryouts this Friday at the reg­ular

lots at the termination of the pe­riod.
W. A. A. Plan Accepted
Helen Howell, W. A. A. represent­ative,
appeared before the board
concerning a change in the athletic
association's constitution. This plan
was in accordance with the coming
three-year plan of curriculum, to
eliminate the present plan of
awarding the insignia and letter B,
and substitute a gold, block pin,
after the athlete has won her sweat­er.
This pin will be the major
award in women's athletics in the
Normal school, ranking above the
sweater award. A motion was made,
seconded and carried that the W.
A. A. be given the board's permis-;
sion to make this change.

Northwest Viking, next conferred
with the board concerning the pri­mary

CLOSE COMPETITION
IS EXPECTED TODAY
Dickson and Walters Bands Are
Trying for Rec Hour
Trumpets will blare feverishly,
saxophones will toot arduously, and
the big gym will rock with hot
rhythms at today's "rec hour" when
Bob Walters' orchestra and Marvin
Dickson's dance band compete for
the position of official "rec hour"
music-maker for spring quarter.
Voting, which will be done by stu­dent
ballot, is in charge of Elsie
O'Donnell. who will be-assisted by
Chuck Dowell, Earl Hutchins and
Jimmie Stoddard. Dr. E. A. Bond
and Mr. Herbert -Ruckmick, faculty
advisers on the Board of Control,
will also be present. This commit­tee
will see that every precaution is
taken to insure fairness in voting.
Each person will receive one ballot
as he enters the door of the gym.
The ballots will be collected again
at the door, after the dance, is over,
and the committee will make sure
that only one ballot is accepted
from ^ each individual. This will
eliminate the possibility of "stuffing
the ballot" that has been prevalent
here during previous quarters. The
committee is asking that voting be
done strictly on the basis of musi­cal
ability, rather than on "curly
eyelashes," "darling dimples," or a
"cute smile." ;
The orchestras will play alter­nately
for intervals of fifteen,min­utes
or longer. Each leader will be
given an opportunity to make a
short speech, if he so desires.
The players in Bob Walters' or­chestra
are: Jack Burn, piano;
Clarence Thue, saxophone; Eddie
Bassett, trumpet; Clyde Rice, sax­ophone,
and Bob Walters, drums.
This orchestra furnished the music
fof the spring^ inixer. ''.';'••
Marvin Dickson's' dance band is
composed of Dorothy Knuppenburg,
