^IPi^SI^Piili?! Swfaff Th6 Big Apple With the Women Tomorrow Nite Send for Your Baby Picture; The Viking Needs It VOL. XXXVII—NO. 16 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON __ Friday, February 4, 1938 Women Make Big Apple Their Theme Ez, Partington's Orchestra From Seattle Plays; Record Crowd Expected to Attend Colorful Decorations "Big Apple" is to be the main attraction of the Women's League quarterly Informal to be held tomorrow night at the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel. The decorations will carry out the general motif, and according to the decoration committee, the ballroom will present a' colorful picture to entering couples. Dancing will be from 9:00 to 12:00 to the strains of Ez Partington's music. It is not customary for school organizations to have an out of town orchestra to play at dances, but due to the fact that all local orchestras had previous engagements, it was necessary to engage Ez Partington's six-piece orchestra from Seattle. However, the League considers itself fortunate in obtaining these men, because according to all accounts, they are exceptionally popular. Since the dance is a tolo, the girls will invite the boys and furnish the tickets. However, it is expected that the gentleman escorts shall furnish the transportation. The girls will appear in long informal gowns and the boys will wear dark suits. The .sending of corsages is optional. The faculty patrons and patronesses for the dance are: President and Mrs. Fisher, Dr. and Mrs. M. S. Kuder, Miss Florence Johnson, and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Grim. o Clever Inhibitions Win Prizes At Klipsun Dance Climaxing the "Hop" held last Friday night, was the awarding of the Inhibition prizes. Awards were given for the most original and clever of inhibitions. Marian Car-yer carried off the girls' prize with her subtle inhibition of a laborite striking against the stag line and received several Coca Cola bottles with beer labels on them. Bill Strickfadden won the men's prize of a tobacco can full of peanuts, for his clever inhibition of Grandpa Snazzy. The lucky winners of the couple prize, Jean Hatch and Art Iverson as an old fashioned couple, will be enjoying a dinner at Jerry's Italian Village. Several door prizes were given—palmer Johnson won a lollipop, Margaret Munch received a doll, and Don Gooding was given a small book entitled "What I Know About Women". The presentation of the prizes was a difficult problem, because there were a surprising number of clever inhibitions to choose from. The "Hop" was an all around success. The music was good, many of the faculty members turned out in their inhibitions, and everyone took part in the Big Apple. o ' Alkisiah Presents! Valentine Banquet c All of the Alkisiah alumnae are invited to the traditional valentine banquet to be held in the main dining room of the Bellingham hotel next Friday evening, February 11 at seven. The faculty guests will be the Misses Mabel Zoe Wilson, Mira E. Booth, Linda Countryman, Florence E. Johnson, Nora B. Oummins, Anna Ullin, May Meade, and Hazel Plympwm. The faculty sponsors of the club, Miss Charlotte B. Richardson and Miss Elizabeth M. Hopper, also will be present. The committee for the valentine banquet consists of: Clara Cunningham, Louise Lammers, Eleanor Tomlinson, Imogene Peterson, Vera Nelson, and Margaret Schold. This is an annual affair which is anticipated by the members with enthusiasm. The alumnae are especially urged to attend and it is expected that all active members will be present. Registrar's Office Not to Post Deficiency List "Hey, did you see' whose name was on the deficiency list? I thought he was smart!" Remarks like these were heard at this time last quarter but, "never again,"' says Dr. Kuder. The list posted last quarter didn't work out so well. Although the word "deficiency'* was not once mentioned on the bulletin board practically everyone knew what the list was for five minutes after the registrar's office was opened. The method to be employed this quarter is patterned after the method used here prior to the posting of the list. There will be a notice in the official bulletin some time next week and every student will call at the registrar's office where he will be handed a card telling him if he is deficient in any subject. In this manner only the student receiving the deficiency will know about it. Those whose grades are very low will be granted an interview or rather, will be asked to see Dr. Kuder. o Famed Monologist J l Here Tuesday Adele Neff, Radio Comedienne, Promises Interesting Hour For Assembly Students Adele Neff, radio comedienne, will present to the students of WWC Friday, February 11, her program of original monologues, Miss Neff, author of her entire repertoire, takes her characters from persons she has known. Making her first appearance on the stage with Earl Carroll's Vanities some years ago, Miss Neff later presented her own pro grams to the New York theatre au dience. The theme of her present program weaves around a cross section of everyday American life. Titles include: "An American Family," at 7:30 p. m.; "Four Wives," a very young one, a cop's, one whose life did not begin at forty, and one sitting in the fourth row; and many others. It is said of her that she has a great variety of numbers and that all of her work, both serious and humorous, has that certain human touch. Miss Neff, who is heard on the House Party, a program broadcast over the KHJ network each week, was eulogized by the poet McGro-arty, as "The woman that has been a compensation to us for the loss of our beloved Chick Sale". -o O fhe H°n iz°n Friday, February 4 4:00 p. m.—Rec hour, campus school gym. 8:00 p. m. — Basketball, WWC vs. St. Martins college, there.

More Beautiful Babies Wanted In Latest Viking Contest—Soukup Editor Explains Workings Of Baby Beauty Contest; Fair Response of Pictures Time^ Limit Extended "The big idea," says chief searcher Soukup, "is to bring your teensy-weensy little baby pictures, hand them to one of the judges, and then wait for a prize." He's talking about the Viking baby-beauty search. Draculas Accepted Too "You don't have to be beautiful now in order to win," editor S. proceeds; "In fact you can look like Dracula's daughter at the present and still get the goods, provided you have compared to Shirley Temple in your youth." "And so, drag the old celluloids out and take a peek. You don't absolutely need to be. dressed in them, you can have on less than little 1938, and the judges won't care. What we want is pictures, regardless. However, don't hand them in if you look cold or are shivering. And no fair handing in a photograph of Carole Lombard in adolescence, either, because we have got it direct from Hollywood that she never was a baby. Amen." Soukup Speaks Thus spake that gray old judge of pulchritude, Viking headman Soukup, as he explained this momentous tournament of bawling baby-beauties. Because, by three times three, even Viking contests cannot be conducted without contestants, as Soukup reluctantly admitted, the scope of possible entrants is being enlarged to include the faculty women. About ten pictures have already been brought in, but many more are needed. The best pictures are framed portraits, much clearer in detail and making a better cut, but any kind will do—locket, snapshot, group, sitting, standing, running, or reclining. All will come back in the same condition they enjoyed when handed in. As an added • inducement, other than the three money prizes of three, two, and one dollar, the Viking will pay postage for pictures mailed from home, minus the frame and parental donations weighing over three ounces. Also, the response not having been much to date, the contest will continue one week longer, ending one week from next Wednesday, or February 16—four days after the Viking ball club beats the pants off Cheney college. The judges are still Soukup, Don Gooding, Don Wilson, Eleanor Rea-soner, and L. A. McGee. o- Books on Display Swing Sensation Here Monday Fletcher Henderson Coming to Armory; Maestro Is College Graduate from U. of Atlanta Books on various industries are being displayed in the children's library this week. Coupled with the books on each subject are some of the specimens of the art. For example, for spinning there are hanks of Russian and Irish flax, for pottery there are pots and molds, but there are no trains for the transportation. It is an attempt to stimulate children's interest in industry. By Bill Fowler Exactly a year after his friend Duke Ellington delighted local dance fans, another famous sepia swingster makes his appearance at the Bellingham Armory. Fletcher Henderson, noted maestro, composer, and arranger brings his talented orchestra here Monday for the first really big dance of the year. Scholar, athlete, and college man, Henderson's tall figure and suave, handsome face belie his 39 years. He is the son of a Georgia schoolmaster, and majored in chemistry and mathematics at the University of Atlanta, where he played football and baseball. He also studied astronomy, Greek, and Latin, and speaks German and French fluently. Plays Congress Hotel In 1927 his orchestra became the first colored contingent to play the famous Congress Hotel in Chicago. From then on he played several leading hotels, and in 1936 he was induced to come west. Two weeks after his opening he introduced his theme song on the radio. Overnight "Christopher Columbus" became the swing sensation of the country. Other compositions of his are "Henderson's Stomp," "Rug Cutter's Swing," and "Jangled Nerves". A new song of his, "It's Wearing Me Down," is soon to be released. Besides being a top notch composer, he is known as the nation's foremost arranger. If you liked the arrangements of Jimmy Dorsey, Glen Gray, and Isham Jones when they played Bellingham, you can thank Henderson. o Audience As Mob For Caesar Negro Athlete With production dates set for February 24, 25, and 26, the cast and director of Julius Caesar are putting last-minute touches on the play. Along with using only lights and neutral backdrops, unusual sound effects will be employed as the chief means of creating stage effects. It has been planned to have the use of a sound wagon to produce a greater part of the sounds. Especially novel will be the employment of sound fixtures stationed among the spectators which will make the audience seem to be a of a sound wagon to produce many of the sounds. Although the action and scenery have been changed, original words of Shakespeare are to be used, but Director Hoppe is allowing the actors to read their lines without the poetical rhythms of the playwright, in order to keep the words and action more up-to-date. Except for a few necessary deletions, the action of the play has been left intact. Assembly Artist Fond of Vocal Work; Visits Here Twenty-Fifth Time By Reda Eaton Having studied music since he was nine years of age, Maestro Ar-ville Belstad, a well-known organist and pianist from Seattle, came Tuesday, well qualified to present a lecture on "Humor in Music." He is also an accomplished vocal artist. "I am deeply interested in vocal work, as well as in piano and organ, and I have studied a great deal along this line, as well as having conducted a number of choral groups," affirmed Mr. Belstad in an interview. The artist has lived in Seattle most of his life and has been a leading figure in that city's music circles. At present, he has charge of a number of choral groups, among which is the popular Junior Amphion choir that was presented here a few years ago. The choir of the Plymouth Congregational church in Seattle, known as one of the best in this section of the United States, has been under the leadership of Mr. Belstad for a number of years. He studied at the University of Chicago and has only recently returned from New York where he took a course in music. Mr. Belstad believes that a person must prepare himself for humor and use his imagination in order to understand the humor found in music of some types. Even serious music is often humorous in character, according to the musician. Fletcher Henderson, who brings his swing band to the Armory Monday night under the auspices of Jay Curtis. Special permits may be secured from the Dean of Women. o—: Members Initiated To Board Duties Blue Book and Hand Book Revised; Student Tickets Again Discussed By Board Correspondent Paul Grim, faculty representative, Phil Kidder, vice-president, Pauline Barnes and Shirley Rogers, student representatives, were initiated into the duties of their respective offices this week, as the committee for handbook revision reviewed the proposed changes before the Board of Control. The duties of the new members were pointed out as set forth in the handbook and as proposed changes were read each member checked his handbook for corrections. Authorized by the board, the committee will incorporate all changes in the existing handbook to be voted upon at the next meeting. Committee Retained The suggestion of the revision committee that the one committee, with the addition of one new member, be appointed as a standing committee for the revision of both the Blue book and the handbook was confirmed by an official vote. The committee now stands as follows: Bob White, chairman; Charlotte B. Richardson, faculty advisor; Helen Masters, Pauline Barnes, and Ralph Neil, committee members. In reply to a question raised by President Don Wilson as to the extent of his authority in the matter of issuing passes to rec hours and other school functions, the board pointed out that under the existing laws the president has no authority to issue any pass to any function. Only student activity cards will admit students, or guest tickets secured through the Dean of Women's office will admit outsiders to any school function. o -— Scholarship Society Officers Selected Patricia Green and Kathryn Hatch became president and secretary, respectively, of the Scholarship society as a result of the election held Tuesday afternoon in. room 208. The nominees for the election were: president, Patricia Green and Helen Baird; secretary, Edna Cowles and Kathryn Hatch. Mrs. Ethel Ross is the retiring president. The secretary last quarter was Loreen Hovan, but because of her absence, Una Clibon acted as secretary. . 1) Cummins Gives Address Miss Cummins, of the Social Science department, addressed a group of women at Mrs. Selander's home last Tuesday, February 1. Her address, "The World—A State of Confusion," was on the international situation, and was of timely significance. • WWC Receives Best Rating In Five Years College Has High Faculty, Student Teaching, Health Rating; Student Fees Low 5th Year Accreditation WWC has one of the highest ratings in the country for student loan funds, according to a report recently received by President C. H. Fisher from Dr. C. W. Hunt, secretary of the American Association of Teacher's Colleges. Accredited Again In the letter enclosed with the report, President Fisher was informed that WWC will be recommended for accreditation by the committee. This will be the fifth year the college has been accredited. Best Rating The report showed the best ratings since the college was first accredited. Faculty preparation has been steadily improved, the college is high in the amount of student teaching required, health facilities, and expenditures for library books and periodicals. The college was judged low in the amount of student fees charged. The rating is based on the comparison of 150 normal schools and teacher's colleges throughout the United States. o Maxine Moldrem Starring At Playhouse With Maxine Moldrem making her guild debut in a featured role, the comedy "The Heathers at~Home,''~ opens a four-night run at the Civic Playhouse Wednesday, February 9. The, blonde co-ed plays the part of Bessie Heather, whose rebellion against the "old man" forms the plot of the play. Glenmore Jones is "Papa" Heather, a domineering despot who makes it his business to interfere in other people's business. Muriel Swank is his spouse, Julia Heather. Shif less Varmint Cecil Bacon as Bessie's brother, Mack, is making his debut and shows real dramatic ability, as does Ida Cunner as his wife, Elsie. Probably the most amusing character in the entire cast is the star boarder, Bertie Hill, a shif'less ne'er-do-well, as portrayed by Fred Wolfe. Hill's wife, Lottie, in private life Mabel Clapper, makes up for Bertie's habitual lethargy by her boundless sales drive in the real estate and insurance business. The Eternal Triangle Fred Swanson (Denton Hatfield), grocery clerk, and Oscar Smith (Norman Burchette), Papa Heather's protege, woo Bessie in the play, with Heaton, the contractor (M T. Nelson), and the quack doctor, Elmer Graves (Maryln Byron), completing the cast. WWC students will have an opportunity to see the comedy Wednesday and Thursday for only 23 cents plus tax by purchasing tickets at the Co-op bookstore. 0 : Orchestra in Rehearsal The WWC orchestra, under the. direction of Donald C. BushelL has started rehearsals for the Piano Concerto to be given March 11 in the auditorium. Dr. Arthur C. Hicks will play the piano as he has so ably done in the past. The music for the concerto just arrived from New York. o Rec Hour Held This Afternoon "Rec hour will be from 4:00 to 6:00 o'clock this afternoon with Harry, Wellman playing," announced Helen Masters, rec hour chairman. Faculty . members selected as sponsors at the dance are Miss Evelyn Rupert, Mr. H. C. Philippi, and Miss Evelyn Odom, of the training school. Ruth Bennington wul be student sponsor. 'WM

The best pictures are framed portraits, much clearer in detail and making a better cut, but any kind will do—locket, snapshot, group, sitting, standing, running, or reclining. All will come back in the same condition they enjoyed when handed in. As an added • inducement, other than the three money prizes of three, two, and one dollar, the Viking will pay postage for pictures mailed from home, minus the frame and parental donations weighing over three ounces. Also, the response not having been much to date, the contest will continue one week longer, ending one week from next Wednesday, or February 16—four days after the Viking ball club beats the pants off Cheney college. The judges are still Soukup, Don Gooding, Don Wilson, Eleanor Rea-soner, and L. A. McGee. o- Books on Display Swing Sensation Here Monday Fletcher Henderson Coming to Armory; Maestro Is College Graduate from U. of Atlanta Books on various industries are being displayed in the children's library this week. Coupled with the books on each subject are some of the specimens of the art. For example, for spinning there are hanks of Russian and Irish flax, for pottery there are pots and molds, but there are no trains for the transportation. It is an attempt to stimulate children's interest in industry. By Bill Fowler Exactly a year after his friend Duke Ellington delighted local dance fans, another famous sepia swingster makes his appearance at the Bellingham Armory. Fletcher Henderson, noted maestro, composer, and arranger brings his talented orchestra here Monday for the first really big dance of the year. Scholar, athlete, and college man, Henderson's tall figure and suave, handsome face belie his 39 years. He is the son of a Georgia schoolmaster, and majored in chemistry and mathematics at the University of Atlanta, where he played football and baseball. He also studied astronomy, Greek, and Latin, and speaks German and French fluently. Plays Congress Hotel In 1927 his orchestra became the first colored contingent to play the famous Congress Hotel in Chicago. From then on he played several leading hotels, and in 1936 he was induced to come west. Two weeks after his opening he introduced his theme song on the radio. Overnight "Christopher Columbus" became the swing sensation of the country. Other compositions of his are "Henderson's Stomp," "Rug Cutter's Swing," and "Jangled Nerves". A new song of his, "It's Wearing Me Down," is soon to be released. Besides being a top notch composer, he is known as the nation's foremost arranger. If you liked the arrangements of Jimmy Dorsey, Glen Gray, and Isham Jones when they played Bellingham, you can thank Henderson. o Audience As Mob For Caesar Negro Athlete With production dates set for February 24, 25, and 26, the cast and director of Julius Caesar are putting last-minute touches on the play. Along with using only lights and neutral backdrops, unusual sound effects will be employed as the chief means of creating stage effects. It has been planned to have the use of a sound wagon to produce a greater part of the sounds. Especially novel will be the employment of sound fixtures stationed among the spectators which will make the audience seem to be a of a sound wagon to produce many of the sounds. Although the action and scenery have been changed, original words of Shakespeare are to be used, but Director Hoppe is allowing the actors to read their lines without the poetical rhythms of the playwright, in order to keep the words and action more up-to-date. Except for a few necessary deletions, the action of the play has been left intact. Assembly Artist Fond of Vocal Work; Visits Here Twenty-Fifth Time By Reda Eaton Having studied music since he was nine years of age, Maestro Ar-ville Belstad, a well-known organist and pianist from Seattle, came Tuesday, well qualified to present a lecture on "Humor in Music." He is also an accomplished vocal artist. "I am deeply interested in vocal work, as well as in piano and organ, and I have studied a great deal along this line, as well as having conducted a number of choral groups," affirmed Mr. Belstad in an interview. The artist has lived in Seattle most of his life and has been a leading figure in that city's music circles. At present, he has charge of a number of choral groups, among which is the popular Junior Amphion choir that was presented here a few years ago. The choir of the Plymouth Congregational church in Seattle, known as one of the best in this section of the United States, has been under the leadership of Mr. Belstad for a number of years. He studied at the University of Chicago and has only recently returned from New York where he took a course in music. Mr. Belstad believes that a person must prepare himself for humor and use his imagination in order to understand the humor found in music of some types. Even serious music is often humorous in character, according to the musician. Fletcher Henderson, who brings his swing band to the Armory Monday night under the auspices of Jay Curtis. Special permits may be secured from the Dean of Women. o—: Members Initiated To Board Duties Blue Book and Hand Book Revised; Student Tickets Again Discussed By Board Correspondent Paul Grim, faculty representative, Phil Kidder, vice-president, Pauline Barnes and Shirley Rogers, student representatives, were initiated into the duties of their respective offices this week, as the committee for handbook revision reviewed the proposed changes before the Board of Control. The duties of the new members were pointed out as set forth in the handbook and as proposed changes were read each member checked his handbook for corrections. Authorized by the board, the committee will incorporate all changes in the existing handbook to be voted upon at the next meeting. Committee Retained The suggestion of the revision committee that the one committee, with the addition of one new member, be appointed as a standing committee for the revision of both the Blue book and the handbook was confirmed by an official vote. The committee now stands as follows: Bob White, chairman; Charlotte B. Richardson, faculty advisor; Helen Masters, Pauline Barnes, and Ralph Neil, committee members. In reply to a question raised by President Don Wilson as to the extent of his authority in the matter of issuing passes to rec hours and other school functions, the board pointed out that under the existing laws the president has no authority to issue any pass to any function. Only student activity cards will admit students, or guest tickets secured through the Dean of Women's office will admit outsiders to any school function. o -— Scholarship Society Officers Selected Patricia Green and Kathryn Hatch became president and secretary, respectively, of the Scholarship society as a result of the election held Tuesday afternoon in. room 208.
