Miss Ruth Linrud, soloist and
harpist, was very well received last
Friday in the usual morning as­sembly.
Her winning personality
and interesting choice of selection
charmed and delighted her audi­ence.
Perhaps a great deal of her suc­cess
was due to the instrument on
which she played. To hear a harp
played well is not a frequent oc­currence,
and it was highly gratify­i
n g t o all music lovers when every

Pleading that ""the burden of his
school work and activities is too
great to allow him to continue his
duties as president of the Students'
Association, Dean Edmundson, for
two quarters^ head.of the student
body, tendered his resignation in
the semi-weekly assembly Tuesday.
This resignation was presented to
the board of control at its weekly
session the day previous, but be­cause
of the depleted condition of
the board, the resignation could not
be accepted and was therefore pre­sented
to the student body.
Many Vacancies
School politics have been placed
ifi rather a muddle by the accumu­lated
vacancies on the board of
control which culminated Tuesday
in the resignation of President Ed­mundson.
For one thing, the resignation of
the president leaves the board of
control with no leader, there being
no vice-president to preside as .this
position was left open when Edwin
Benedict failed to return to school,
and is one of the posts now to be
filled by election.
But, because there are now four
vacancies on the board, it is im­possible
to assemble a quorum, and
the board cannot meet for a busi­ness
session until after the election.
\ Stickney Nominated
Ori Wednesday. Don Stickney was
the only nominee for the presi­dency,
though a petition had been
put up for Eldred Bechtel. Eldred,
however, is running unopposed for
student representative and is there­fore
ineligible for the higher po­sition.
The other offices, those of vice
president and faculty, representa­tive,
are unaffected by the other
election activities. There are two
nominees for both positions, and
these will be voted upon Tuesday.
Catherine Morse and Hamilton
Church Jtiave been nominated for
vice president, while Miss Kathleen
Skally and Mr. Sam Carver have
been placed in nomination for the
post of faculty representative. The
term of the vice president is for two
quarters, to complete the unexpired
term of Edwin Benedict, while the
faculty representative will be chosen
for one quarter, to take the place
of Mr. Bond, who left school before
the expiration of his term.

Dean Edmundson, President of the
Student Body, Presents His Res­ignation
to the Board of Control.
The point system by which "W"
sweaters are awarded to members
of/the track squad was defined at
the regular weekly session of the
board of control, which took place
Monday afternoon.
The change was- made when Kir-vin
Smith, of the 1927 track team,
requested a sweater, stating that
under the interpretation of the ruin­ing
as made by Coach Sarri Carver
during the recent season, . he
(Smith) was entitled to a sweater
for his activities on the team dur­ing
the season before.
Trie firial establishment of the
ruling, under which Smith was
av/arded the sweater, is that to be
awarded a track sweater, the con­testant
must score ten points in
competition during the season, or
five points in tri-normal competi­tion,
but that points made in Nor­mal
games count double. ' "
Board Does Not Act
Dean Edmundson, president of
trie Students' Association, presented
his resignation to. the board at the
session, but because of the fact that
the board is depleted in member­ship
by reason that three- terms
have expired with no .election hav­ing
been held, a sufficient number
of members of the board were not
present to act upon the resignation
and it was referred to the student
body.
As business manager of the Klip-sun

All Organized Houses
Are to be Decorated
•. Collett Hall announces its inten­tion
of keeping for another year
the pennant won by them for the
best decorated house during the
Homecoming of 1927.
Every year a pennant is given for
the best decorated house on the
campus. It has traveled far and
wide among the girls' residences,
but no one house has won it a third
.consecutive time for permanent
possession.
The idea to be worked into the
decorating scheme is the expression
of Viking spirit and welcoming
back the old grads. \
Collett Hall last year had an ex­pression
of a 'Viking ship with a
dragon "as . a figurehead. The, eyes
of the. dragon were lighted and
flashed on an<k.pff. The body^ of
the boat.was lighted with a red ef­fect
which harmonized with trie
blue and white scheme. .
The rules state that the decora­tions
must be up by Friday noon,
October 26, trie inspection • of. the
houses coming at 2 p. m. the same
day. ."
Suit
Mr. Harold B. Smith, head of trie
Department of Music, has been se­lected
to direct a Little Symphony
for Bellingham. This orcliestra will
be composed of about thirty local
musicians and will offer a number
of concerts this s. season. Prelim­inary
plans have been made for the
organization.
Mr. Smith will be assisted by Miss
Fawn Cameron, supervisor of music
in the Bellingham 'public schools,
who will manage that part of the
program relative to the children in
the city scriools. Mr. William Gar­diner,
music editor of the Belling­ham
Herald, will act as general
manager. The services of these
three people will be donated.
Six Concerts Planned
Mr. Smith, who is working on the
plans for the whole season, says
there will be at least six and maybe
more concerts given on three dates,
including matinee concerts for the
school children and evening con­certs
for adults and older students,
at 15 cents for the children's mat­inee,
and 25 and 50 cents for the
evening performance. .

Miss Madden, debate coach, says
that plans are being made for a
year of active participation in de­bate
with other schools, and debat­ing
societies of the University of
!Washington. In carrying out this
plan the first step will be to have
a debate manager appointed by trie
Board of Control as soon as trie
present election takes place and trie
board has a .full, rhembership. 0
Last Year Successful
Last year marked a j revival of in­terest
in debating along with tlie
organization of the Gavel and Pul­pit
Club. Five debates weie staged
last year, two with the Pacific
Lutheran College, two with College
of Puget Sound, and one .with
Weber College, of Ogden, Utah. Our
debaters won two of the five de­bates.
-This is a very creditable
showing in view of the fact that
these are four-year schools arid, had
considerable experience, while Nor­mal's
team was of green material,
The six debaters who received pins
last year., were: Margaret Hill,
Frieda Massey, Viola" Poyhonen,
.Vernon Vine, Fay Shermerhorri and
Audrey Ginnett. All of these de­baters
are back this year. Their ex-perierice"
ought to give much greater
tpbwer of expression arid- delivery
which will be of value fin coming
debates. Negotiations .are being car­ried
on (atpreserit for a debate with
Pacific Lutheran'College; ^
