' Attendance rules no longer reduce

and loss of credits, because of ex­cessive
unexcused absences.
The rules regarding absences
from classes are as follows:
1. Absences aire Excused only for
illness or injury certified by the
health depajtineht; or in cases of
emergency, by the registrar.
2. When the numbter df unexcus­ed
absencesi per iquartfef hi any given
course exceeds tite riumbjer df week­ly
class meetings registration in
that course will be cirmcfelled.,$th,a
recorded mark of failiire. For ex­ample,
a three hour course is allow­ed
three absences; a five hour
course, five absences. A petition
fdr readmission will be considered
by the Scholarship committee only
in exceptionalcases. ;, .
The regtilatibhs regarding assem­bly
absehces are:
Attendance U reqtikHed at all stu­dent

Board To Issue
Activity Tickets
Student Cards Will
Be Signed by Receiver
At Time of Issuance
By Board Correspondent
Acting upon the suggestion of
Phil Kidder, vice-president, the
Board of Control voted that the is­suance
of ASB tickets at registra­tion
for each quarter be the respon­sibility
of the Board of Control in
the future. Working with the busi­ness
office, the board will issue all
activity tickets, each of which will
be signed in ink by its receiver at
the time of issuance. The owner of
each ticket will also sign a register,
which permanent record of signa­tures
will be kept for reference in
case of loss of tickets or other ne­cessity
for replacement.
The tickets will be divided by ser­ial
numbers into two groups, one for
men and one for women, to facili­tate
recording and checking.
The matter of sweater awards for
yell king and duke was discussed,
and the requirements for their per­manent
possession were set forth.
Also, the yell leaders were made di­rectly
responsible to Don Bushell, of
the Music department, who will
pass on proposed stunts or enter­tainment,
and check the schedule so
that there will be no clash between
musical numbers and stunts.
Nina Mae Pickett, president of
the International Relations club,
appeared before the board to re­quest
the usual apportionment for
this organization, to be applied
upon sending two delegates to the
IRC conference at Reed college.

Scandinavian Fiction
Discussed by Bragis
"Scandinavian fiction" was the
subject of discussion of the Vanadis
Bragi meeting of last Monday night
at Edens hall club room. The pro­gram
consisted of three book re­views
given by members of the
club.
The first, Undset's "Kristin
Lavransdatter," is the portrayal of
a woman's life from early youth to
old age. Hamsun's "Growth of the
Soil" emphasizes the permanent,
value of ah agricultural life. Nero's
"Pelle the Conqueror" is one of the
early samples of proletarian fiction,
that phase of literature which deals
with the working class of people.
plans have been made for a meet­ing
to be held late this month, de­voted
to the lives and music of sev­eral
of the romantic composers.
Savages Come
Tomorrow
Vikings Meet Eastern Team
In Crucial Tri-college Battle;
Invaders Given Slight Edge
Tomorrow evening the third act
of that time-honored old "melo-drammer'\
"Who Wins the Tri
College Title?" will be presented in
the Western college gym, with those
two veteran troupers* E. W. and
W. W. Colleges, in the starring roles.
The other five acts of the "dram-mer"
may be somewhat of an anti­climax,
because Saturday's winner
will be a long way along the con­ference
victory trail.
Which all leads one to believe,
correctly, that there will be fire­works
when our Vikings attempt to
scalp the Savages. Eastern Wash­ington,
defending champions, al­ready
has two tri-college wins
chalked up this season, trouncing
the Central Washington Wildcats
twice.
It's been many a moon since the
Bellingham collegians have tagged
a defeat on'their arch-rivals in
basketball, and if the long awaited
victory comes tomorrow night,
there will be plenty of rejoicing at
this Valhalla on the hill.
Recent games played do not seem
to indicate that the Norse have
much chance against one of the
greatest of Cheneys great teams,

Valentine, maybe you'll find him
there."

'The Heathers At Home'
At Civic Playhouse
Now Playing
Solomon and Liedle Brush Up;
Conspirators Lurk in Wings
As Production Takes Form
By Wanda Barci
Rehearsals for Julius Caesar are
reaching a furious pace these days.
On the sidelines stands John "Cae
sar" Solomon working himself up
to a feverish pitch for his next en­trance.
"I am as constant as the North­ern
star," he reminds Vern Liedle,
who plays Cassius when the mood
moves him to be sour.
"Methinks Caesar is full of prune
juice," drones Gustav "Brutus"
Markgraf, who stands by himself
with creased brows and folded arms
(being subjective).
On the stage Antony in the per­son
of Boyd Swanson bellows forth,
"And let go the dogs of WAR!
The whole cast claps and cries
"Bravo!" Swanson takes a bow.
Somewhere in the auditorium Pa­tricia
Green, with head erect and
eyes blazing, practices looking like
Calpurnia, wife of Caesar; and skid­ding
to rehearsals ten minutes late
comes Kathryn Hatch, trying,
while she is still gulping for breath,
to look sweet and feminine as Por­tia,
Brutus' wife.
It is rumored that the play will
be held February 24, 25, and 26.
The cast says it will be worth your
time just to see the stabbing scenes.

stated Betty Howell, house presi­dent.
Betty Franklin will be gen­eral
chairman of the dance. The
choice of an orchestra has not been
made.
The tentative date was February
IS, but the majority of the dorm
girls were going home that week­end.
The sophomores have consent­ed
to change the date of their party
to February 19, making it possible
for the dorm girls to have theirs
February 26.
Only those girls living in the
dorm at this time, those that have
lived there and are not attending
school at this time, or friends of
girls living in the dorm but from
out of town are permitted to attend.

W Club Plans
Big Carnival
"We are going to try and get the
Inter-Club Council to help cooper­ate
with us in an "all-school carni­val."
The carnival will consist of
side shows, jitney dances, etc.,"
stated Chet Dombroski, president
of the "W" club, at their weekly
meeting, February 8. Plans were
also made for a smoker to be held
in about three weeks. M. T. Nelson
has charge of arranging the bouts.
"Just because I go around asking
everyone if they want to fight,
doesn't mean that I'm looking for
any personal grievance," stated M.
T. "It only means that rht drying
to get someone to take a little
mauling for the enjoyment of the
public. I have beeii uhabie to
match Johnny krieg with anyone,,
and I would appreciate it if any­one
that feels lucky and weighing
170 pounds in his birthday suit
would let me know and possibly
something could be done about it."
The matches already arranged
are: OrviUe Richards vs. ; Les
Jones, at ISO pounds; Bob Stu­art
vs. Gail Stuart, at 160 pounds.
Dakota Osibov will afficiate. The
bouts ^consist6tthriee two-min­ute
rounds. Ten ounce gloves will
be used to prevent serious damage.
As the closing time for the Vi­king
ba%> beauty contest draws
nigh the success of the thing grows
more apparent, with pictures of
dimpled young maidens coming in a
steady stream. So numerous are
they at the present time the -prize
list has been extended to include
two honorable mentions, making
five possible winners.
The final acceptance for pictures
is Monday, February 14. This will
give sufficient time for the judges to
judge the many entrants and still
enable the Viking to print cuts of
the victors in Friday's issue. The
city paper, the Bellingham Herald,
has also promised.to riin the pic­tures
with a feature story, probably
in the Sunday edition.
Debut in Assembly
The winning coeds will be an­nounced
and presented in assembly
next Friday. They will learn of
their choice. Tuesday, when press
photographers plan to take the five
pictures for printing.
To return the numerous pictures
entered, the Viking asks that, the
owners tramp to the editor's office
and get them there. •
Some of the success rousing is due
to a little subterfuge employed by
Soukup, who, anticipating a lack of
interest, slyly wrote to parents re­questing
the necessary copies of
their youngsters. "This will make
the contest over intofa siujprj^l^ar-ty
and add a great zest to the do­ings,"
the editor apologetically
brigs.
More Room Yet
Pictures are still wanted, how­ever,
and the stress on largeness of
the field is hot meant to chime a
close to entries or give impression
that there is no chance for another
winner to squeeze in.
Following is a list of the entrants
up to Wednesday night; thirty-three
in all.
Marjorie Sonneland, Mae Mc-
Cabe, Mildred Wilcoxen, Josephine
Vogler, Maxine Sholberg, Arlene

Klipsun Staff Busy
Unearthing Data
For Write Ups
For the next few weeks the Klip­sun
staff will be busily poking into
corners and such for any informa­tion
or material that they can un­earth
for their Klipsun write tips.
These write ups concern club,
school, class activities, popular cam­pus
notables, sports—in short, they
deal with everything that has been
going on in the school for the past
year.
m this year's Klipsun two pages
will be devoted to music in order
to justify the furor created last year
when only one page was concerned
with the subject.
Ih regard to photographs, the
panel pictures of the various or­ganizations
are how finished and
Eleahor Reasoher claims that they
are very good. The play cast is
now posing for their Klipsun pic­tures.
