INTRODUCTION
V MALE FANS. :
WOMEN'S SPORTS
MELTING POT
—By Catherine Morse—
As a sort of introduction to this
and the forthcoming appearances of
"Nqrmalette" (that is if we are not
requested to curtail our activities
after this issue), we would like to
remark that we are solely to blame
for anything that appears in this
column because we will usually try
to siip it in without the editor's
6 KL: It isn't that we are flying a
red flag, but lacking the superior
intellectual powers of our immediT
ate predecessor and the ability to
"bull" of those who have gone be­fore
him, our extreme youth might
be interpreted as radical and our
girlish impulsiveness as subtly in­tentional."
. / .
* * « « • -
Another thing we would like un­derstood
and that is in regard to
the abrupt change from "Normal-ite"
to "Normalette". We feel that
there might be some delusion
abroad to the effect that it is the
feminine influence that has brought
about this change to "ette" from
the more virile "ite". Now we would
like it understood that the feminine
influence had nothing to do with
it, but it was the diminished size of
the paper that fostered it.
You know we really don't mind,
.because we feel much more unas­suming
as suits our character and
policy so much, better. But don't
forget the wisecrack Kipling made
about the "female of the species".
• * * * *
We rejoice to note that the ad­ministration
saw fit to insure the
complete attendance of the Nor­mal
(very normal, in fact) male
population to Tuesday's assembly
by presenting the fourth appear­ance
this year of Gemma Paglieri.
We are assured that the hearty
bursts of applause which receive
Miss Paglieri's numbers cannot be
due entirely to the great musical
appreciation of the audience.
* tf if «
We are accorded a wealth of
really fine musicians who give the
best they are capable of and before
they are through their program,
they are entertaining only half
their original audience and those
are probably" only staging out of
politeness or for the righteous feel­ing
they sense for the whole day
afterwards,
Prom the result of the question­naires
circulated last quarter and
the comment that has been cur­rent
so far this quarter, we notice
that there is an abnormal lot of
complaint towards the Viking about
the lack of women's sports featured.
Now, we are not trying to be un­reasonable
or anything like that,
but we would like to remark or at
least suggest that the women get
some sports first.
Whereupon if our iritention' was
to be facetious, we might remark
that if the women could not get
their own sports they really should
hot regard the Viking as a matri­monial
bureau—or something.
• : . • , ' # ' * < • • * ' • ' .'
Apropos of nothing, we were in­terested
in the: philosophy evinced
by Mr. Bell in the class of Interpre­ters
of Contemporary Thought. As
he was describing a movie in which
'•'the Melting Pot" was featured, in
which peoples of other countries
with their graceful dances and
charming ways: were sent through
the mill and turned; out "Ameri-cans^-
r-jazz-mad, efficient people
like everyone else, I happened to

CLIMB TOMORROW
OFFERS HARDSHIPS
Good Fishing, Beautiful Scenery to
be Enjoyed by Students Making
Trip; Stiff Climb Promised.
LEAVE CAMPUS 7 A. M.
Tomorrow morning, June 28th,
the stage leaves the Normal campus
headed for Shuksan, where the
Twin Lakes Pass climb begins. Sev­en
o'clock in the-morning' is rather
early, but to individuals who have
previously made the climb the ne­cessity
for the start is quite appar­ent.
Approximately forty students
are expected to make the climb.
Stiff Climb
A climb of one foot.is not diffi­cult,
but when you put some 3,000 of
them in succession the result is ex­treme
fatigue. Twin Lakes Pass is
some 5,400 fete in elevation, 2,000 of
which is made by stage, the rest
being climbed in some seven miles
of walking. .
To the fisherman the climb is us­ually
worth while, and to the lovers
of the great outdoors and beautiful
scenery, the climb can't be beaten.
The two lakes nestle between two
of which, the marvelous Canadian
Cascades may be seen. There will
be plenty of snow up in the pass,
and mountain meadows with their
lovely wild flowers will be encoun­tered
on the trip. The country is
full of wild animal life: deer, bear,
wild goats and other types may be
seen.
Descent Interesting
Not only is the descent interest­ing,
but it is also very comfortable
to the tired hikers. After being up
in the mountains all day, the hikers
will be permitted to partake of the
finer things of life at Glacier. Ice
cream most certainly will be in­tensely
interesting and other deli­cacies
will be likewise appreciated.
All in all, everybody must agree
that the trip will be well worth
while. ' '
Students Will Sail
On Yacht Thetis
Normal students, will have an op­portunity
to sail in Puget Sound on
the yacht Thetis, when Dr. Carl Erh
will take a party of students on a
cruise among the Sucia Islands in
the Gulf of Georgia. The outing is
being arranged by Franklin Lock,
for several years a student of the
school. "The Sucia Islands are a
beautiful group that are out of the
regulard\ cruising routes," Franklin
Lock declared, "and offer fine op­portunities
for exploring. Students
who have been out on the .Thetis
are very enthusiastic about sailing,
and most of the trip will be made
under canvas, although auxiliary
power .is used. whenever the breeze
drops down.'?
The party will. leave the Pacific
American dock at the end of the
South Bellingham carline Sunday
morning, shortly after nine o'clock.
Students are requested, to
their own lunches. ,

Normalites Buy
"Diamond Dick*r
Considerable interest is evident in
literature in this school, and makes
itself noticeable in the attention of
students in choice of reading mat­ter.
"Diamond Dick," "The Love
Affairs of Emma," and similar
touching captions to other 10-cent
thrillers and heart soothers capti­vated
the interest of many hikers
when returning from the salmoh-bake.
, I t is unkndwn to what extent
the^se were purchased or whether
the interest was cursory or not, but

House Mothers Hold ft
Short Business Meeting
i At Edehs^Dormitory
The Normal Housemothers' Asso­ciation
held a short business meetr
ing Thursday in the Clubroom at
Edens Hall, with thirty-seven mem­bers
present. An election of', officers
was held, and Mrs. D. Cooper was
elected President of the Association,
and Mrs. Caroline Edwards was
named to act as Secretary for the
coming year.
^-Mrs. Mable Moore, retiring Presi­dent,
and Mrs. S. W. CoUett, retir­ing
Secretary, expressed apprecia­tion
to the members for their co­operation
during the past year.
SCIENCE DEPT. TO
PROBE HEREDITY
Science Instructors to Experiment
with Inherited Characteristics of
Fruit Flies; Test Is Unusual.
Experiments on the inheritance
of characteristics in fruit flies are
to be carried out in the laboratory
of the- Science (department. This
has never before been done in the
Normal school.
The flies are kept in bottles con­taining
banana, at a temperature of
76°. The larvae are fed every 6
weeks. The crysalis are crossed be­fore
mature. Those with red eyes
are placed in the feeding bottle with
those having white eyes. The par­ents
are removed in five days, after
which the resulting crysalis are giv-an
ether and then placed under the
microscope to see how many have
red eyes and how many have white.
No new experiments, will be tried.
To obtain the material for the ex­periments,
Miss", Ruth Piatt- and
Miss Ruth Shumway made a trip to
the University of British Columbia.
The U. has had the supply, which it
received from Chicago, only since
March. There was no trouble in
crossing the line.
The classes are making field trips
which include peat bogs, natural
dry dock, and the mountains.

CRAW ELECTED TO
BOARD MEMBERSHIP
Much interest was shown in the elec­tion
as there were three other can­didates
seeking office; namely, Wil­liam
Kelley, Warren Boynton and
John Rajala. The election of Evelyn
Craw means that the women of the
school now; have two representa­tives
from their group, the other
woman holding office being Mary
MacDonald.
James McCleary and Lyle Sum­mers
were-elected in last Friday'si
assembly to act as student repre-j
sentatives to the Board of Control
for this quarter. They will fill; the
bring positions l^ft vacant by Harold Rich
and Art Graverock; who were grant­ed
a leave of absence. There were
no other candidates for the offices.

FROSH AWARD SILVER
SCHOLARSHIP TROPHY
TO FUTURE FRESHMAN
Class Hope to Establish Tradition
to Encourage Entering Students
Toward Better Efforts.
YEARLY CHANGE OF CUP
Next year, according to an an-'
nouncement made this week, the
Freshman student attaining the
highest scholarship record for the
year will receive the Scholarship
Trophy cup,-which is to be present­ed
by the Freshman bias of 1930,
the graduating class of '31. This
trophy will go as an award for in­dividual
scholarship, intended to
encourage entering Freshmen to
further intellectual effort.
A silver trophy cup was decided
upon by the Freshman executive
board, instead of cash prizes, which
was originally announced because
of the permanency and traditional
merit of the cup. The trophy will
remain in the possession of the
winner for one year, and will then
be passed on to the winner of the
award for the succeeding year.
'.'The Freshmen hope to establish
with the awarding of the cup a tra­dition
for the school, and . an in­creased
interest in scholastic suc­cess
of the students," Pelagius
Williams,' class advisor, declared.
The cup bears the inscription:
-Scholarship Trophy
Presented by the Class of 1931 ...
To a Student of Each .Incoming
Freshman Class Who Attains the
Highest Degree of Scholarship for
the year. > <.
The Freshman executive board
for the year 1929-30 was: Joe Weth-erby,
president; Mary .McDonald,
vice president; Allene Armstrong,
secretary-treasurer; Mr. Pelagium
Williams, class advisor.
NORMAL STUDENTS

Mr. Harold ,B. Smith, chairman
of the Music Department, was very
enthusiastic over the meeting of the
State Music Teachers' Association,
held at Spokane, Washington, June

The Past Few Days
The staff of the Research Bureau
and their assistants spent most of
this week in grading the college ap­titude
and achievement tests which
the students took at the opening of
this quarter. The results of these
tests will appear shortly and will be
given to the students in the form of
letter grades. Students will be not­ified
through the main bulletin
when the resuits^are ready. '
Dr. Harry V. Masters of the Re­search
department.is giving a course
this quarter on the "Improvement
of Testing". Approximately twenty-five
students have enrolled for the
course.
CANADIAN TENOR
TO APPEAR HERE
Walter Bates, Distinguished Singer,
To Be Heard In Assembly Tues­day;
Bettie Cross, Accompanist.
At thefirst assembly of July, Wal­ter'Bates,
the distinguished Cana­dian
tenor, assisted by Miss Bettie
Cross, talented solo pianiste, will be
presented in recital Tuesday morn­ing.
'.
Press reports of Mr. Bates' prow­ess
as a singer and artist have
been very favorable, and he stands
out as an example of Canadian
achievement in the realmr of song
art. He has proved his ability to
sing before all classes of people in
that a great number of his follow­ing
are among those who "listen
from the heart" rather than from
the desire of a trained musical ear.
The tenor has made quite a name
as a "Meistersinger,". and. is 'alscr
noted '• as; a: man of broad culture
and a thorough: musician being a
performer' at both the piano and
organ. . '
Miss Cross is a noted-musician in
her own right and has won special
applause for her work in the musi­cal
field and her sympathetic ac­companiments.

Washington, accompanied by Mr.
William Rowles, supervisor of the
music department of that institu­tion;
Mr. Smith was impressed by
the pleasing appearance of the Che­ney
Normal School, and especially
noticed the campus.
.Mr. Smith announced the forma­tion
of a choral club which will im­mediately

any event nobody went hungry, be­cause

consumed, leaving but one-half for
the seagulls. Other interesting sta­tistics
might be mentioned, such as
three buns, eighty six lumps of sug­ar
and one can of cream were nofc,

Tide Arrives .;...
During the processes of cooking
and eating a relentless .and un-thoughtful
tide slowly crept, up the
sand and rocks to dampen feet and
cause a little consternation as to
whether the fish were imbedded iri
a safe place. Prof. E. A. Bond, in
charge, had foreseen the difficulty
and the salmon baked merrily.
The hikers arrived at the rocks in
groups of four or five. As soon as
possible they picked up cups, forks,
spoons, and paper plates, and were
promptly fed. After the meal stories
were told, rocks skipped and, igulls
were rewarded, for their patience.
The trip 1 homeward ;was taken by
use of various methods. Some of jis
used cars, others took the streetcar,
