"All who enter in the winter of Training School Gives Saint Nick Warm Welcome Toy Shop and Music Ushers in Christmas Spirit Friday Morn. Old St. Nick is assured of a warm welcome in the Normal Training School this year, when the grades unite in greeting him with a "Toy Shop," a program of Christmas music, and the singing of traditional carols. Every room in the building is gay with brilliantly-lighted trees, holly wreaths and colored streamers. Toy Shop at Nine The celebration of the Yuletide was ushered in at 9 o'clock this morning, when the members of the seventh grade dramatic club presented the "Toy Shop." This play, which depicts the sleep of a little boy and girl in the toy shop, and the coming to life of the toys, included fifteen students in its cast. The costuming to the toys was so complete as to include jumping-jacks, baby dolls and clowns. Christmas Music At 1 o'clock, a program of Christmas music is to take place. Among the carols to be sung by the various choruses are: "We Three Kings of Orient Are," "Jolly Old St. Nicholas," "Christmas Tree," "Good King Wenceslas," "Chime Music," and "O Star, O Lovely Star."

The dining hall was decorated with red candles and holly. Cedar boughs and large bells hung in the windows. A large Christmas, tree decorated in tinsel and lights stood in the farthest corner of the room. The tables were resplendent with holly and gaily-colored napkins. Doris Jorgenson entertained the diners yriih a couple of violin solos, "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise" and "Mother Machree." Elizabeth Squire sang two numbers which were followed by group singing for everyone. ' Last of all Santa Claus came to the dining room; and entertained his audience with witty sayings and the passing out of presents.

Among the gifts to the club were twenty-one applicants for membership who were formally initiated. Lloyd Rasmussen, toastmaster, gave the club some very unique and entertaining passages. After offering a toast to Miss Erickson, Rasmussen introduced the speakers for the evening as gifts from "Old Santa's" bag. Jacob Welcomes The first speaker was the Vanadis Bragi president, Margaret Jacobs, who extended a welcome to the new members. Following Margaret Jacobs' welcome address was Howard Mickel-son, who spoke on "Values of Club Life at the Normal." In this talk he suggested that more space should be given to club activities in the school paper. Earl Hennings and Milton Field, both former members of the Vanadis Bragi, gave short talks on their experiences. Hennings centered his talk around the history of the club, while Fields told about his trip to New York. Tells Club History Miss Keeler told how the Vanadis Bragi Club came into being, growing out of the Rural Life Club. All the trials and tribulations of the club were related. She told of the fund started by the Vanadis Bragi Club by operating a booth during the Tulip Festival. After the dinner all the new members were formally initiated.. The initiation ritual consisted of a short address by Margaret Jacob and an interpretation of the name of the club by Claire DeLeau, and dancing, games and card playing furnished entertainment for the rest of the evening:.;. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Miss Keeler, Earl Hennings, Milton Field, GecU Anderson The Kiwanis Glee Club of Mount Vernon made its debut here at Tuesday's assembly, December 15, and judging from the pleased response of the audience this musical program was highly appreciated by the majority of students. Assisting the Glee Club, whose conductor was Louis Arend Helder, were Mrs. Nan Wiik, former Norwegian opera singer, and Dorothy Wells, accompanist. Songs Varied in Theme Songs that were lively and slow, romantic and religious, serious and humorous, made for variety in the program. Mrs. Wiik, soprano, and A. S. Coey, tenor, with the Glee Club, presented the famous "Prison Scene" from II Trovatore in concert form. The soprano's interpretations of "Solveig's Song" (from Peer Gynte Suite), "Fairy Roses" and "Love, I Have Won You" (from Cycle of Life), were most appealing. Mrs. Wiik sang as an encore a lullaby. Other numbers sung by the Glee Club which proved most popular with the-audience were: "John Peel" (old English hunting song), a negro spiritual, "The Downward Road Is Crowded," and "Cossack War Song." Mrs. Wiik will honor the school again with a concert next quarter. R. Walters Re-Elected By Board Bob Walters was re-elected business manager of the Northwest Viking for the winter quarter of 1932, at the Board of Control meeting Wednesday afternoon. Election of the business manager should have taken place at the Board of Control meeting a week before, but was postponed to allow for personal application. Reports Discussed Following the interview with Walters the Board carried on an extensive discussion which concerned chiefly the plan of report cf the Northwest Viking. For information of the Board of Control the Control body favored a more detailed and perhaps an itemized reportr The secretary was delegated to make certain that a report on the Viking is received each month. It was voted to sell a white sweater which was previously worn by yell leaders, and the property of the Student Association. Mr. Bond was elected to act as appraiser, and to set the price accordingly. Thanks Voted A motion of thanks was voted to Elsie O'Donnell and Nellie Cox for their splendid work in handling the Board of Control banquet held at the Chuckanut Shell last Friday evening. Possibilities of rec hour orchestras for the ensuing quarter were considered, but no .definite action resulted. The meeting was called to order by Vice President Nellie Cox in the absence of Colin Campbell, president. Sivert Skotheim was the only other absent member. —: o—• MORGAN RECOVERING IS LATEST REPORT Charles Morgan, student and night watchman, who was severely injured on the evening of December 4, while mending a pipe in the training school basement, is resting comfortably, according to reports from the nurse's office. Mr. Morgan is still confined to St. Joseph's hospital, where he was taken immediately after the accident occurred. X-ray pictures have been recently taken and his leg has been reset and put in another splint in order that he might rest easier. In behalf of the entire Student Association, flowers were recently sent to Mr. Morgan by the Board of Control. Students Urged By Secretary to Hand In More Snapshots "We want the students to get out their cameras and start taking pictures for the snapshot contest as soon as possible," says lone Shreve, secretary and organization editor of the Klipsun. "The prizes are worth while—a Klipsun for the first award and a dollar for the second, but as yet we have received only a few entries. Therefore we urge the students to begin taking snapshots during the Christmas vacation or as soon as they can." "We also want to announce that those students and members of the faculty who have not yet had their individual photographs taken may do so during .the Christmas vacation if they are in town," she states. Best Snaps Printed All of the best pictures, whether they receive prizes or not, will be printed in the snapshot section which is to be one of the features of this year's annual. The contest will close sometime in the spring at a date to be determined later. Group pictures of clubs and other organizations will be taken early next quarter as soon as the weather permits. The clubs are advised to be prepared for these pictures. The first of the group pictures was taken when the "Camille in Roaring Camp" cast was photographed on the stage last Thursday. o WOMEN'S ALL STAR TEAMS ARE SELECTED All-star teams for girls' hockey, soccer and volleyball were announced at the W.

RED MITTENS (By Irene Schagel) (Reading Time, 4 Min. 10 Sec.) It was perhaps a very ordinary night; that first Christmas eve. The sky was clear, dark and glossy blue as it is tonight, all peppered with shining stars. But in the East, so the story goes, there hung a star over a tiny stable where two lowly peasants had been forced to take shelter for the night. I know just what that stable looked like—we used to have one at home—and do you remember the fun we had in the straw—and then I remember one time I fell down from the hay loft into the manger. Well, to continue, the shepherds saw the star and heard the angels singing from the sky "Peace on earth, good will to men". The shepherds, the lowly shepherds, were the first to hear those celestial carols. Why wasn't it imparted to the rich powerful King Herod first? Mouthing the words "Peace on earth, good will to men" I started out to find this story—for better or for. worse—I searched: everywhere, but I couldn't find the thing I wanted. Every time I thought I had the right clue, something would happen to cut the props from that lead and puff! went the story. I would go on.searching. ~ As I paused^ in front j>f a much bedecked, much bewreathed, much beChjistmased rich house a lovely young thing hurried out bound evidently on some "last minute things" —her cheeks were glowing — her smile shining—"Aha" thought I. "here is the story—a true Christmas story." But just as she stepped in to her waiting car she muttered to herself, unaware of my presence, "I must spend at least five dollars —she always spends that much on me." Huh! I merely snapped my fingers and went on. I saw two men walking in my direction talking intently. "—that's what I like about the holidays" came clearer to my ears. "Of course the kids have their tree," I winked to myself and drank in every word—here's my story! "What are you giving your wife this year?" "I always give my wife money— she likes that better and it saves me a lot of'bother." You wretch. You weren't much help. Where is my Christmas story? I turned. I would go among the throngs and throngs of people down town and there I would be sure to find it. How lovely the shops looked, all glittering and spangling with the Chistmas spirit. Tpylands—gift shops and Santa Claus. I roamed through toyland and listened to the prattle of children and fthe prattle of the ratcre,; gro\ira: up children, their parents—and still no story. : I searched out jolly faced old St. Nick-U :^EM^(sh^^^^fa^^Tf^^a^ shiny like two huge holly berries, and the poet's words came back to me "shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly". Ha, this looks good to me! But what's he saying to that little girl, "A nice dolly from this store?" with a broad wink at the mother. Oh, advertising, have you no soul? You depend on human emotion and yet see how you love to exploit it and debase it. Well, I haven't found it yet. My feet were wandering aimlessly now^ —they led me down by the docks, past the docks, to the Great Northern depot, past the depot down the tracks 'till'I finally paused beside a tiny hut—no larger than a boxcar— why, it is 'a derailed boxcari There was a light inside and I could hear the. high treble of a childish voice—I peeked in and saw a yellow curly head near the floor. He was pulling off his shoes while the mother was at the rude table washing dishes. In one corner of the room a warm fire crackled in an old kitchen stove—that must be the kitchen; in the other corner was the table—the dining room, no doubt. The other end of the home was occupied by beds—one very small, very iyellow one and the other large and covered; with a patch work qi^t-HMs was the bedroom.- •,.•:•"; C,^y% -Y' •v '/.',•,. :J:'-:, ^ v ^ t b ^ r ^ ^ Mtby • a;Psjp^';^Wte • •; J | i t ^ ^ j j i m i ^ ; Coaches V^arver- Protest Against Wave m Criticism Sweeping U Board of Control Members Dine at Chuckanut Shell Dancing Follows Addresses Fisher and Ruckmick by Board of Control members and guests assembled at the Chuckanut Shell last Friday evening for the feature Board meeting of the quarter. Following a splendid banquet dinner the toastmaster, Colin Campbell extended welcome and greetings to the geusts. Miss Emily Dow accompanied by Miss Ethel Page, then favored the group with violin selections. Addresses Given After musical numbers there were addresses by President C. H. Fisher and Mr. H. C. Ruckmick. President Fisher's topic was, "Views of Student Government in the Normal School." The president's address dealt chiefly with what he termed, "a fundamental principle of life— that of co-operation." Generalizing the principle first, stressing the value of individuality in thought and collectivity in action, the president then applied it to the situation in the Normal school. President Fisher cited personal experiences which were intensely interesting to the group. Mr. Ruckmick talked on the subject, "A Faculty Representative's Job." Mr. Ruckmick brought to light a new factor that might be adopted in student government. Specifically, that the Normal school is now becoming a three-year institution, and that this will make for greater continuity and experience in the choice of representatives of student government. Mr. Ruckmick said that this change in the school requirements will warrant change in our constitution, and we should be making preparations now for that alteration. Dancing Enjoyed After the program the group adjourned to the lobby where they enjoyed dancing and visiting to complete the evening. Guests and Board members who attended were President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Miss Weythman, Miss Wendling, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Mr. E. A. Bond, Vaughn Howell, Lillian Lux, Wilma Neil, James Stoddard, Colin Campbell, and Ing-wald Iverson. Sivert Skotheim was unable to attend because of a foot injury received in basketball turnout. o — Suggestions Received By Viking Staff For Betterment of Paper Fisher Denies Football Men Subsidized at . Normal EAST CHANGING Abbott and Iverson Believe Intramural Sports Inadequate To Fill Needs (By Jinunie Stoddard) Football authorities throughout the country have predicted the ultimate downfall of intercollegiate football. This startling statement has aroused a wave of protest which has spread over the country in defense of the outstanding of American sports. Do these protests really amount to anything and what, do our local athletic directors and educational heads think of the problem? Commercializing, subsidizing, injuries and even deaths have put the educational leaders of many schools on the "spot" and the whole thing is seemingly in a turmoil with everyone having a carefully worked out plan showing the downfall of football, if any, but with only a hazy idea as to the remedy for the situation. Over-emphasis of the sport, to the extent that intellectual ends are slighted, manipulations by high-pressure promoters with only a roll of greenbacks as their end plus a misunderstanding of the true value of the sport has set some of the general public and educational leaders against the great sport. The result is that many think a change should be made, making the great sport subordinate to athletics for the masses and not for the select few, as they think it is now. Normal Heads Give Ideas It has been argued, pro and con with very few definite points being arrived at. Data has been collected from the coaching staff of this in-stitution, statements from President Fisher and a few remarks from athletes as to the future of the great game. It may not clear- up this problem but will more than likely give you a clearer idea of the subject and will throw another spotlight on the much discussed affair. "These things come in waves, just the same as our depressions arid booms, and this football, agitation has now reached its full force," stated President Fisher in an interview. "Out here on the Pacific Coast there exists a great field in: football work. Better coaches, beti ter teams, the result is better salaries. The East has gone through; this stage and has moved:;up to An opinion stated by a faculty member in the recent Northwest Viking questionnaire expresses the feeling that the paper has been on a higher plane the last year than formerly. This comment is followed up with the suggestion that a column might be given to comments on recent books or on important speeches made throughout t he country of interest to everyone. Many comments were received in the replies which will prove beneficial to the staff. Educational News Advocated' Several instructors express a like attitude in that more educational news should be included and the paper should be more widely representative of the school-bringing out more phases of the institution.

Following Margaret Jacobs' welcome address was Howard Mickel-son, who spoke on "Values of Club Life at the Normal." In this talk he suggested that more space should be given to club activities in the school paper. Earl Hennings and Milton Field, both former members of the Vanadis Bragi, gave short talks on their experiences. Hennings centered his talk around the history of the club, while Fields told about his trip to New York. Tells Club History Miss Keeler told how the Vanadis Bragi Club came into being, growing out of the Rural Life Club. All the trials and tribulations of the club were related. She told of the fund started by the Vanadis Bragi Club by operating a booth during the Tulip Festival. After the dinner all the new members were formally initiated.. The initiation ritual consisted of a short address by Margaret Jacob and an interpretation of the name of the club by Claire DeLeau, and dancing, games and card playing furnished entertainment for the rest of the evening:.;. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Miss Keeler, Earl Hennings, Milton Field, GecU Anderson The Kiwanis Glee Club of Mount Vernon made its debut here at Tuesday's assembly, December 15, and judging from the pleased response of the audience this musical program was highly appreciated by the majority of students. Assisting the Glee Club, whose conductor was Louis Arend Helder, were Mrs. Nan Wiik, former Norwegian opera singer, and Dorothy Wells, accompanist. Songs Varied in Theme Songs that were lively and slow, romantic and religious, serious and humorous, made for variety in the program. Mrs. Wiik, soprano, and A. S. Coey, tenor, with the Glee Club, presented the famous "Prison Scene" from II Trovatore in concert form. The soprano's interpretations of "Solveig's Song" (from Peer Gynte Suite), "Fairy Roses" and "Love, I Have Won You" (from Cycle of Life), were most appealing. Mrs. Wiik sang as an encore a lullaby. Other numbers sung by the Glee Club which proved most popular with the-audience were: "John Peel" (old English hunting song), a negro spiritual, "The Downward Road Is Crowded," and "Cossack War Song." Mrs. Wiik will honor the school again with a concert next quarter. R. Walters Re-Elected By Board Bob Walters was re-elected business manager of the Northwest Viking for the winter quarter of 1932, at the Board of Control meeting Wednesday afternoon. Election of the business manager should have taken place at the Board of Control meeting a week before, but was postponed to allow for personal application. Reports Discussed Following the interview with Walters the Board carried on an extensive discussion which concerned chiefly the plan of report cf the Northwest Viking. For information of the Board of Control the Control body favored a more detailed and perhaps an itemized reportr The secretary was delegated to make certain that a report on the Viking is received each month. It was voted to sell a white sweater which was previously worn by yell leaders, and the property of the Student Association. Mr. Bond was elected to act as appraiser, and to set the price accordingly. Thanks Voted A motion of thanks was voted to Elsie O'Donnell and Nellie Cox for their splendid work in handling the Board of Control banquet held at the Chuckanut Shell last Friday evening. Possibilities of rec hour orchestras for the ensuing quarter were considered, but no .definite action resulted. The meeting was called to order by Vice President Nellie Cox in the absence of Colin Campbell, president. Sivert Skotheim was the only other absent member. —: o—• MORGAN RECOVERING IS LATEST REPORT Charles Morgan, student and night watchman, who was severely injured on the evening of December 4, while mending a pipe in the training school basement, is resting comfortably, according to reports from the nurse's office. Mr. Morgan is still confined to St. Joseph's hospital, where he was taken immediately after the accident occurred. X-ray pictures have been recently taken and his leg has been reset and put in another splint in order that he might rest easier. In behalf of the entire Student Association, flowers were recently sent to Mr. Morgan by the Board of Control. Students Urged By Secretary to Hand In More Snapshots "We want the students to get out their cameras and start taking pictures for the snapshot contest as soon as possible," says lone Shreve, secretary and organization editor of the Klipsun. "The prizes are worth while—a Klipsun for the first award and a dollar for the second, but as yet we have received only a few entries. Therefore we urge the students to begin taking snapshots during the Christmas vacation or as soon as they can." "We also want to announce that those students and members of the faculty who have not yet had their individual photographs taken may do so during .the Christmas vacation if they are in town," she states. Best Snaps Printed All of the best pictures, whether they receive prizes or not, will be printed in the snapshot section which is to be one of the features of this year's annual. The contest will close sometime in the spring at a date to be determined later. Group pictures of clubs and other organizations will be taken early next quarter as soon as the weather permits. The clubs are advised to be prepared for these pictures. The first of the group pictures was taken when the "Camille in Roaring Camp" cast was photographed on the stage last Thursday. o WOMEN'S ALL STAR TEAMS ARE SELECTED All-star teams for girls' hockey, soccer and volleyball were announced at the W.

RED MITTENS (By Irene Schagel) (Reading Time, 4 Min. 10 Sec.) It was perhaps a very ordinary night; that first Christmas eve. The sky was clear, dark and glossy blue as it is tonight, all peppered with shining stars. But in the East, so the story goes, there hung a star over a tiny stable where two lowly peasants had been forced to take shelter for the night. I know just what that stable looked like—we used to have one at home—and do you remember the fun we had in the straw—and then I remember one time I fell down from the hay loft into the manger. Well, to continue, the shepherds saw the star and heard the angels singing from the sky "Peace on earth, good will to men". The shepherds, the lowly shepherds, were the first to hear those celestial carols. Why wasn't it imparted to the rich powerful King Herod first? Mouthing the words "Peace on earth, good will to men" I started out to find this story—for better or for. worse—I searched: everywhere, but I couldn't find the thing I wanted. Every time I thought I had the right clue, something would happen to cut the props from that lead and puff! went the story. I would go on.searching. ~ As I paused^ in front j>f a much bedecked, much bewreathed, much beChjistmased rich house a lovely young thing hurried out bound evidently on some "last minute things" —her cheeks were glowing — her smile shining—"Aha" thought I. "here is the story—a true Christmas story." But just as she stepped in to her waiting car she muttered to herself, unaware of my presence, "I must spend at least five dollars —she always spends that much on me." Huh! I merely snapped my fingers and went on. I saw two men walking in my direction talking intently. "—that's what I like about the holidays" came clearer to my ears. "Of course the kids have their tree," I winked to myself and drank in every word—here's my story! "What are you giving your wife this year?" "I always give my wife money— she likes that better and it saves me a lot of'bother." You wretch. You weren't much help. Where is my Christmas story? I turned. I would go among the throngs and throngs of people down town and there I would be sure to find it. How lovely the shops looked, all glittering and spangling with the Chistmas spirit. Tpylands—gift shops and Santa Claus. I roamed through toyland and listened to the prattle of children and fthe prattle of the ratcre,; gro\ira: up children, their parents—and still no story. : I searched out jolly faced old St. Nick-U :^EM^(sh^^^^fa^^Tf^^a^ shiny like two huge holly berries, and the poet's words came back to me "shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly". Ha, this looks good to me! But what's he saying to that little girl, "A nice dolly from this store?" with a broad wink at the mother. Oh, advertising, have you no soul? You depend on human emotion and yet see how you love to exploit it and debase it. Well, I haven't found it yet. My feet were wandering aimlessly now^ —they led me down by the docks, past the docks, to the Great Northern depot, past the depot down the tracks 'till'I finally paused beside a tiny hut—no larger than a boxcar— why, it is 'a derailed boxcari There was a light inside and I could hear the. high treble of a childish voice—I peeked in and saw a yellow curly head near the floor. He was pulling off his shoes while the mother was at the rude table washing dishes. In one corner of the room a warm fire crackled in an old kitchen stove—that must be the kitchen; in the other corner was the table—the dining room, no doubt. The other end of the home was occupied by beds—one very small, very iyellow one and the other large and covered; with a patch work qi^t-HMs was the bedroom.- •,.•:•"; C,^y% -Y' •v '/.',•,. :J:'-:, ^ v ^ t b ^ r ^ ^ Mtby • a;Psjp^';^Wte • •; J | i t ^ ^ j j i m i ^ ; Coaches V^arver- Protest Against Wave m Criticism Sweeping U Board of Control Members Dine at Chuckanut Shell Dancing Follows Addresses Fisher and Ruckmick by Board of Control members and guests assembled at the Chuckanut Shell last Friday evening for the feature Board meeting of the quarter. Following a splendid banquet dinner the toastmaster, Colin Campbell extended welcome and greetings to the geusts. Miss Emily Dow accompanied by Miss Ethel Page, then favored the group with violin selections. Addresses Given After musical numbers there were addresses by President C. H. Fisher and Mr. H. C. Ruckmick. President Fisher's topic was, "Views of Student Government in the Normal School." The president's address dealt chiefly with what he termed, "a fundamental principle of life— that of co-operation." Generalizing the principle first, stressing the value of individuality in thought and collectivity in action, the president then applied it to the situation in the Normal school. President Fisher cited personal experiences which were intensely interesting to the group. Mr. Ruckmick talked on the subject, "A Faculty Representative's Job." Mr. Ruckmick brought to light a new factor that might be adopted in student government. Specifically, that the Normal school is now becoming a three-year institution, and that this will make for greater continuity and experience in the choice of representatives of student government. Mr. Ruckmick said that this change in the school requirements will warrant change in our constitution, and we should be making preparations now for that alteration. Dancing Enjoyed After the program the group adjourned to the lobby where they enjoyed dancing and visiting to complete the evening. Guests and Board members who attended were President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Miss Weythman, Miss Wendling, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Mr. E. A. Bond, Vaughn Howell, Lillian Lux, Wilma Neil, James Stoddard, Colin Campbell, and Ing-wald Iverson. Sivert Skotheim was unable to attend because of a foot injury received in basketball turnout. o — Suggestions Received By Viking Staff For Betterment of Paper Fisher Denies Football Men Subsidized at . Normal EAST CHANGING Abbott and Iverson Believe Intramural Sports Inadequate To Fill Needs (By Jinunie Stoddard) Football authorities throughout the country have predicted the ultimate downfall of intercollegiate football. This startling statement has aroused a wave of protest which has spread over the country in defense of the outstanding of American sports. Do these protests really amount to anything and what, do our local athletic directors and educational heads think of the problem? Commercializing, subsidizing, injuries and even deaths have put the educational leaders of many schools on the "spot" and the whole thing is seemingly in a turmoil with everyone having a carefully worked out plan showing the downfall of football, if any, but with only a hazy idea as to the remedy for the situation. Over-emphasis of the sport, to the extent that intellectual ends are slighted, manipulations by high-pressure promoters with only a roll of greenbacks as their end plus a misunderstanding of the true value of the sport has set some of the general public and educational leaders against the great sport. The result is that many think a change should be made, making the great sport subordinate to athletics for the masses and not for the select few, as they think it is now. Normal Heads Give Ideas It has been argued, pro and con with very few definite points being arrived at. Data has been collected from the coaching staff of this in-stitution, statements from President Fisher and a few remarks from athletes as to the future of the great game. It may not clear- up this problem but will more than likely give you a clearer idea of the subject and will throw another spotlight on the much discussed affair. "These things come in waves, just the same as our depressions arid booms, and this football, agitation has now reached its full force," stated President Fisher in an interview. "Out here on the Pacific Coast there exists a great field in: football work. Better coaches, beti ter teams, the result is better salaries. The East has gone through; this stage and has moved:;up to An opinion stated by a faculty member in the recent Northwest Viking questionnaire expresses the feeling that the paper has been on a higher plane the last year than formerly. This comment is followed up with the suggestion that a column might be given to comments on recent books or on important speeches made throughout t he country of interest to everyone. Many comments were received in the replies which will prove beneficial to the staff. Educational News Advocated' Several instructors express a like attitude in that more educational news should be included and the paper should be more widely representative of the school-bringing out more phases of the institution.
