When he was found out, he immediately com-m i 11 e d suicide. Riots ensued, the government was n e a r l y overthrown, and the associates w e re vigorously prosecuted. Musica did the ..~ .—.-.•.... same thing. It is peculiar how the two crooks resembled each other. They were chickens of the same brood . and both were equally odiferous. In France, Stavisky's name is cursed; he is considered one of the lowest forms of life; his collaborators hastened to rid themselves of any relationship which brought them shame and dishonor. o In the United States what happened? The Musica affair passed normally, like a too-popular song. The dirty crook became instead a genius deserving of praise. He became a hero, a sort of superman. Nobody gets mad. Nobody feels sorry for, the thousands of people he ruined. The interest is centered in the romance of such a wretched business. THEY'RE RUGGED PEOPLE Much has been said on the subject of humor in general. Experts have written volumes on it. Other experts have written volumes on humorous things people have said. Still others have written Soukup Trophy Presentation Made In Assembly Peace Theme of Norsemen Informal To Be Given In the Crystal B allroom Vikings Present Trophies , Publicly to Outstanding •* Students; Contest Publicized To present the Soukup trophy publicly to last year's editor, Clarence Soukup, the Norsemen's assembly this morning was given over partially to the Western Viking. At the first annual Viking banquet, held last spring, the Soukup trophy was presented by the reporters to editor Clerence Soukup. Soukup then turned the cup over to the three reporters chosen as the most reliable and efficient during their four quarters on the paper. They were: this year's editor, Evan Hill, Helen Lindstrom, and Georgia Engelson. The first opportunity for the public presentation of this cup since then came in this morning's assembly. Because of his student teaching, however, Soukup was unable .to attend. Also presented in assembly by the Western Viking, was a trophy to Fritz Chorvat, football captain, who was chosen as the inspirational player for the 1938 season. Tomorrow night the Norsemen's first informal will take place in the Crystal balloom of the Leopold hotel. In the absence of Doug Lince, chairman of the social- committee, Charles Durr, Stuart McLeod, and Bill Schweingruber have been carrying on as chairmen of decorations, publicity, and ticket-selling, respectively. Jay Curtis' orchestra-will supply the music and an added attraction of the entertainment will be: the singing of Boyd Swanson, baritone, accompanied by Cecilia Schwaid. The general theme of the informal will be peace, signified by crossed white flags.

It took the form of a candle-lighting ceremony, January volumes on the psychological as- 17> at 7:30, in the clubhouse. Of pects of it. But be that as it may, the experts, as well as the laity in general, seem to agree that the pun is the lowest form of humor. Now, we wish to take exception to this statement. Puns are" NOT the lowest form of humor. Puns are things that can and are "enjoyed" by everyone, especially the persons who make them up. Also they are more important in our lives than is commonly thought. They may even affect the destinies of nations. Take the case of France. Because of a pun in a Paris comic paper, Persia has broken off diplomatically with that country. Did we hear somebody say "Oh, shah!" LIVE AND LEARN According to the latest dispatches from Germany, extensive changes in his cabinets are being planned by •Her'r Hitler. It would seem that der Huehrer has scruples—or something. Anyhow he can t stand associates, with loose morals. This seeming paradox is ignored by the German papers. Under the, new scheme of things, Herr Goering is promoted, and former Chief of Propaganda "Ramon" Goebbels is neatly pushed intp relative obscurity; This would lead us to believe that one pf the great facts of life is beginning; to dawn on the man Goebbels. This is that it is far safer tp trifle,with the^ freedom and [tyj&^jx of^millionsi;; than to Jmbnkey "^jiiistvone blonde.' , S:''% the nearly forty people present, twenty-eight were new members. Ialseen Allison, president, and three other officers gave short talks to the new members who were presented individually by Alice Sie mons. Miss Ruth Piatt and Miss Hazel Plympton spoke on the history and principles of the organization. The Blue Triangle is an affiliate of the Girl Reserves. A songfest was held afterward, then refreshments were enjoyed. Booklets containing the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all the members were distributed. These, had been made by Rebecca Tudor and Josephine Vogler. Jean Morgan, ' social chairman, and her hetpers, Carol Rosenzweig and Rebecca Tudor planned the initiation. The orchestra has planned an ambitious program for this quarter. They will open by playing the musical accompaniment to Mr. Hoppe's dramatic production on February 24, 25, and 26. On March 14, they will give a concert featuring Whitney Tustin, first clarinetist from the Seattle Symphony orchestra. The repertoire will be built around the English born played by Mr. Tustin. There is a possibility that Mr. Bushell may also appear as cello soloist on the same program. o—: Seattle Principals' Study Club Pays Visit Here Valkyrie club held its quarterly election last Monday afternoon. Those girls elected into office were as follows: vice-president, Virginia Fegley; secretary-treasurer, Genne Squire; social chairman, Marion Jones; program chairman, Jean Crawford; and club reporter, Phyllis McNamee. Virginia Fegley, vice president, presided over the meeting in place of Helen Masters, president, who is doing her student teaching this quarter. t The' -member's decided to" ask the- Board of Control for a permanent section at the basketball games in order to have a more uniform root ing section. Also the vice president informed the girls that the Valkyrie club had been asked to sell tickets for the Norsemen's dance. Since there are forty members at present, no new members will be voted in this quarter. Therefore, in place of an initiation banquet it was suggested that the club have an informal party in the home of one of the girls. The date and. particulars of this affair will be decided at the next meeting. 6 Vanadis Bragi Discusses Vacation Reading Ski Patrolmen Begin Duties Saturday Marks New Era for „Local Skiers; Orange Flags Mark Dangerous Slopes Orange flags warning skiers of dangerous slopes are to be used when the newly formed Ski Patrol goes on duty for the first time, at-urday, January 21, at the Heather Meadows .sports area, according to Hank Reasoner, secretary-treasurer. 1 impressed with two plays he at "Our purpose is to educate the public in safety precautions such as After visiting in Washington, D. C, New York City, and Pennsylvania, President C. H. Fisher returned to WWC last Monday. As Western representative of the American Association of Teachers Colleges, President Fisher went east to attend a meeting of the accrediting committee in Washington,. D. C. The committee, consisting pf five members, met with representatives of the American Council on Education to discuss the council's study of the preparation of teachers in the United States.

While in Washington, President Fisher attended a session of the Senate,* the House, and the Supreme Court. Besides the Supreme Court building, he also visited the new addition to the Congressional library, and the recently completed Olger Memorial Shakespearean library.

The regular Thursday morning assembly was cancelled so that the visitors might see the school in its usual routine. Vanadis Bragi held its first meeting of the quarter Monday evening, January 16. The meeting was devoted to a discussion of vacation reading led by Jean Richards. Dr. Hicks, the club adviser, .announced the coming Theatre guild production and various plans for future meetings were suggested and discussed.

Several new members were added to the club roll at the end of the meeting. — 0 —— replacing 'divots,' and respecting | r e m a r k e d ' " ° n e of t h e f i n e s t Pl a vs danger signals," the patrolmen said. "Skiers will be cautioned to keep away from the dangerous slopes marked by orange flags. We will render supervision and assistance that accidents may be given poper attention and tragedies cut to a minimum," they added. The members of the patrol meet Mondays and Thursday evenings at 7:30 in the Herald assembly rooms for instruction in first aid, skiing, and rescue worx. Last Saturday evening's ski dance at Glacier was well attended. The proceeds will be used to buy patrol equipment and first aid supplies.' o With the permanent cast finally picked, the rehearsals for the Winter quarter dramatic production are well under way. Victor H. Hoppe, director, has chosen many experienced players for his modern interpretation of William Shakespeare's "Hamlet". The final cast as picked last week will be Hamlet, Boyd Swanson; Carmen Ek as the queen; Forrest Haw-ley will be the ghost, pf Hamlet's father; Dale Courtney; Laertes; and Coston Crouse; Polbnius. Marshall Bacon will be First Grave Digger; Deny Conlee, Horatio; Ruth Greeley, Ophelia; James High, the King; Don Smith, Guilderstern; Bill Strickfaden; the - Priest; Roland Van Luven, Bernardo; Walt Germain, Francisco; and Gael Stuart, Rosencrantz. In due fairness to the actors having some rather thin parts, Mr. Hoppe has given them dual roles. Walt Germain and Roland Van Luven also will play the parts of the First and Second players respectively. Gael Stuart will assist. Mr. Hoppe as technical director. Special Assembly Called For New York Prot The play is defintely scheduled for February 24, 25, and 26.

She hopes that in the hear future necessary arrangements can be made to test the hew outfit. Chemicals mixed with water are placed in the tank of the apparatus.
