Hoppe's play production group will present in assembly Friday, February 10, "Silly Sam," a character play in one act, under the direction of Roger Chapman. The scene for the play is laid in a village in Northern England, where spinning by hand is still quite popular. Sarah, played by Harriet Rickerson, is an old weaver who has lost her job in the factory. Kather-ine Bowden takes the part of Emma a young weaver. The young curate is Roger Chapman and Nelson Brewer plays the part of Sam, a a hulking young fellw who admits that he fits the old saying "Strong in the arm and weak in the head."

When the hour arrives for her departure over the shape of Silly Sam, who takes her home as his adopted mother. Myers Explains Teacher Excess "Undersupply in 1939" Predicts New York Professor CLASS DEBATE HELD Alonzo F. Myers, professor of Education at New York University, writing in the Washington Education Association Journal, says that the present oversupply of teachers is one phase of the continuous cycle of teacher oversupply and undersupply. "In 1919 there was an alarming shortage of teachers," says Myers, "in all sections of the country." Many teachers had left the classroom to enter military service or to engage in occupations essential to the prosecution of war." According to the report, in 1925 or 1926 the balance between teachers and positions was equal, good wages bringing more into the field continuously. By 1932 this caused the present oversupply to reach an appalling dimension. The prediction is made that due to the low wages offered, by 1939 there will again be an even balance, and in 1946, an undersupply similar to that of 1919. o KLIPSUN PROGRESSES Editor Suggests Plans for Many New Features in Annual Fowler's Students Argue Technocracy Theory About Technocracy was the subject of a debate held in Dr. H. E. Fowler's class, interpretations of Contemporary Opinion, Wednesday morning. The question was stated: Resolved that Capitalism can not stand the challenge of Technocracy. The affirmative was taken by Frances Hansard, Edith Swarth and Einar Larson. Milford Peterson, Bill Moultray and Leland Bishop took the negative. It was stated by the affirmative that under the present system of government, even if all the jobless were employed in factories, etc., the economic situation would not change because production would be so great that the small wage earners, who are the consumers, would not be able to buy, and there would still be the problem of over-production and a tied up market. T. F. Hunt Gives Geography Talk Instructor Describes the Northwest Country in Broadcast SMOKELESS SMOKER A CLUBJEATURE Partis and Brewer Matched in Main • Event Next Friday Discussing mountains and. rivers in general, with special reference to those of our own Northwest, T. F. Hunt spoke over K V O S last Wednesday evening on the weekly faculty broadcast. Many interesting highlights about the past history of the rivers and mountains in this district were brought out in Mr. Hunt's talk. The mountains, like everything else, have their ups and downs, and when they are down it indicates that they also are witnessing a "depression." The old saying that a thing is "older than the hills," sometimes is strangely true;—several of the rivers in this state existed before the mountains around them. In conclu-ing, Mr. Hunt stated that the rivers were largely responsible for the building up of the land through which they flowed; and that is possibly the reason they feel they have the right to take back the land. o DEVELOPMENTSHOWN Competition Keen in P. E. Classes at End of Fifth Week Horseless carriages, pilotless airplanes and now at last a "Smokeless Smoker". Not bad for so early in the new year, what? Getting down to the' point, next Friday night the W club will sponsor a mixed smoker in the big gym beginning at 7:30. All men and women of ^ t he school are invited to attend at the amazingly low mat charge of 10c per. Outsiders are welcome at the same price. Strange New Rules The bouts will be fought under Australian and Siberian rules but Russian will be barred. Main Event Good The main event of the evening will feature T. B. Brewer, defending champion of the Marietta Mounted Police, who will toss his belt into the ring against Pinhead Partis, one of the Thoity-thoid street henchmen of the out-of-town distrct (Everett). Senator Royal Euripidees Aristo-phanees Hypothesees Gunn, better TOBACCO ADVERTISING IS PROHIBITED IN SCHOOL PAPER Roger Chapman and Pres. Fisher Interviewed at First Board Meteing (Continued on Page Two) Obed Williamson Stresses Thinking Cheney Education Head Criticizes Systems of Past "In general, the function of the school is to foster thinking ability," says Obed Williamson, head of" the Education department of Cheney Normal school, .writing in the Washington Education Association Journal. Williamson criticized educational systems of the past saying, "The social intelligence of our people has so far failed to keep up to scientific and technological advance, society has shown itself so incapable of properly utilizing the results of invention, that today we find ourselves in the most serious situation the world has ever seen." , ' As a means of preventing another such lack of parallel advancement between educational and social, scientific and technological advancement, Williams suggests first, that controversial questions be met squarely and fairly by the teacher; second; t h a t more emphasis be placed on elementary and secondary institutions; third, that creativity be fostered in the schools; and fourth, that the School system be made more conducive to the fostering of a spirit of social mindedness and cooperation. ;'; v Student Burns Eye In Unusual Accident While working a special experiment in the chemical laboratory last week, Gordon Richardson met with an unusual accident which resulted in an injured eye. While attempting to loosen the glass stopper in a bottle of sodium hydroxide by tapping, pressure was formed inside the bottle which caused the stopper to suddently loosen and spurt out a fine spray of the liquid directly into his eye. The injury was not as serious as it was painful and his sight will not be effected. o Tuesday's Assembly Features Speech on China-Japan Question Many new features are being planned for the 1933 Klipsun according to Eileen Morrison, editor-in- chief. She says students will find a decided difference. between the new Klipsun and last year's issue. One outstanding feature is the cover of the book. Exactly what it is to be like is not being divulged; but from the hints the editor has given this year's cover is going to be extremely attractive. Miss Morrison says the division pages also are being worked out in a new way and promise to be a decided feature of the annual. Another idea which is being tried for the first time is that of having a "who's who" section. In this, many students who do a great deal of work for the school but do not receive recognition in any other way, will be acknowledged. Practically all of the individual pictures have been taken, and they will be ready to send to the engraver shortly. The dummy for the annual is all planned, and department editors are completing their work. The group club pictures were taken last Tuesday afternoon, and other pictures around the campus were taken earlier in the week. o NEXT ASSEMBLY PROGRAM VARIED Myra Gause, Assisted by Sister, to Appear Next Tuesday Much interest and enthusiasm has been stimulated by the Women's P. E. classes as an interesting athletic schedule enters on its fifth week of development. Competition is keen in the classes. Badminton is finding its final week in the quarter schedule. Permanent teams have been chosen for the games are adding up their final score. The score, of the basketball and volley ball games along with Badminton scores will decide the championship team. Each team has been playing some game every day. The waters at the Y are constantly churned by vigorous Viking maidens taking swimming tests. The beginning classes are showing their skill in the American and the back crawl while the intermediate groups are giving demonstrations in the breast stroke, plain, and fancy diving. This course is being supported with great enthusiasm by the girls. The rythm classes are clearing up a session in folk dancing. Next week will herald the commencement of a course in clogging. A date for the radio program which is to be sponsored by the Womens' P. E. department has not been defintely set. (Continued on Page Four) TESTS HAVE PURPOSE Data Gained is Basis for Teacher Selection Standards I n an article concerning "Entrance Tests as a Factor in Teacher Selection at Bellingham" printed in the Washington Educational Association Journal for February, 1933, written by C. C. Upshall and Harry V. Masters, Research bureau staff at Bellingham Normal, appeared the statement, "Our chief concern then is to establish standards which may be considered valid for those persons who are certified to teach in the elementary grades," in explanation of the basis upon which the tests are given. The article goes on to say that definite standards are set .for arithmetic, spelling, English usage and penmanship; this the freshman must achieve or take the remedial course which is designed to bring his efficiency to the point where he can equal these standards. o— Council Offers Prize As Action Stimulant Whether or not tobacco advertizing should be carried in the Northwest Viking was the topic for discussion by the newly installed Board of Control in a meeting held last Wednesday evening, February, 1. Letters from Roger Chapman, the business manager of the Northwest Viking; and Mrs. Ruth Burnet, faculty adviser to the Viking were discussed. Roger Chapman and President Fisher were called in and interviewed by the Board. Mr. Chapman was asked to withdraw his request to carry tobacco adver-izing. Mr. Ford to Receive Cut Mr. Sam Ford recommende dthe dropping of an intended business trip to Los Angeles because of the financial condition of the Co-op. A motion was made that the president of the Board of Control confer with Mr. Ford in regard to a ten percent salary cut to take effect February 1, 1933. The W. A. A.' was given permission to sell apples and candies at the basketball games. Rec-hour Schedule Fixed Harriet Rickerson was put in charge of the Board of Control banquet to be held February 21. —, o — — — . • • •' Budget Hearings Are Held at Olympia "International questions can never be settled permanently or righteously by war. We must depend on college students and those who have studied or we will have black days ahead." The above is a statement from Dr. Elam Anderson's lecture, "International Good-will Under Fire," which was given in the assembly Tuesday, January 31. I n his address, Dr. Anderson presented the China-Japan question and explained that although China is morally and legally right, she has notdeveloped Manchuria as Japan has. " Y'' '"•' v .::•••, v.Vv -"••Y The repertoire of Myra Byrd Gause, character interpreter, and Jeanette Gause, contralto, the next artists to appear before a Normal audience, includes monologues, pianologues, humorous dialect sketches, "charcoal" sketches, .diminutive dramas, dramatic episodes, narratives, fairy tales, legends, and contralto solos. A more varied program would be hard to find. According to press comments on the former appearance of these young ladies more vivid and finished impersonations of characters are rarely given. Miss Myra Gause specializes in the characterization in costume of one-act plays in their entirety. Her sister accompanying her at the piano furnishes a musical setting for these presentations, besides rendering pianologues and contralto solos. The sisters are well known to California clubs and audiences. Since the Misses Gause Jtiaveap^ peared repeatedly on high school and college stages of the Pacific-coast and the Hawaiian Islands it is to be expected that their rendition will be received with favor by the students of this school. EXPLORER WILL SHOW PICTURES Will Tell of His Recent Amazing Adventures in Alaska When the Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, world famous as the "Glacier Priest", appears here on February 9 at the American theatre, students will be given theopportunity to hear one of the great living explorers and scientists tell of his travels and adventures. He will tell of his recent amazing experiences among Alaska's vofcanos and will show motion pictures of the "Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes." During his recent sojourn in Alaska Father- Hubbard visited Mt. Aniakchak, which he found to be-the largest active volcano known. Hubbard, with his daring pilot, flew around inside the crater and finally landed. This is the first time on record that a plane ever landed inside the crater of an active volcano. A special price of 50 cents has been arranged for Normal school students. Students may purchase these special tickets from Miss Or-leane Fitcha in the president's office. This ticket must "be presented along with the student activity ticket at the theatre box off ice for reserved seats. As a means of stimulating club activity the Inter-club council is sponsoring an award to be given to the club doing the best work for any given quarter. A committee of Gordon Hambley, Louis Shaffer, and Sara Jamieson has worked out what they believe to be a satisfactory method of evaluating club activities in an objective manner. As soon as the plan is presented to the council as'a whole for approval or revision it will be acted on by the Board of Control. o— Chamberlin Expects To Go Back To Land of Communists Soon President C. H. Fisher and Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick appeared before the House committee on appropriations yesterday afternoon to discuss the budget of the Bellingham Normal school for the coming year. This afternoon at 2 o'clock President Fisher and Dr. Kirkpatrick will take up the same matter with the Senate committee on appropriations. The chairmen of these respective committees invited President Fisher and Dr. Kirkpatrick to come to Olympia. Dr. Kirkpatrick is chairman of the board of trustees of the Bellingham Normal school. The degree bill which would give the Normal schools of the state the right to grant a bachelor of arts in Education degree passed the Senate by a vote of 41 to 2. o •— Reed Lectures on Current Problems Speaker Emphasizes Importance of Keeping Cool Head Just try to interview a man after he has\talked for an hour and a half and while he is pacing the floor waiting for his taxi. Sounds impossible doesn't it? However, William Henry Chamberlin, author, lecturer and correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, soon made the anxious reporter feel at ease. Mr. Chamberlin was tired, had a cold, and was booked for another engagement at eight o'clock the same evening, Friday, January 27, at Ellensburg! He had hot lost any of the vital interest in his subject which characterized his morning talk. Travel is Slow Travel in Russia is slow. Trains and hotels are crowded. Foreign (Continued on Page Two) "Current International Affairs" was the subject of Dr. Dorothy Reed's lecture in the assembly this morning. Dr. Reed, who has spent a year of research abroad, discussed the complications in the world today, pointed out the dangers to peace, and the necessity of keeping a cool head. As Dr. Reed progressed in her discussion she placed on the youth of today the responsibility for solving many of the world's probleinsY Her address was a challenge; t o; youth, who should be interested in pea^e and should be informed enough on the subject to be capable of expressing an opinion. , Dr.' Reed has addressed many schools and social groups*; A comment made by the super^tenififent; of Portland public schpplsof>wMch' Dr. Reed is a graduate,«jwas: ^ student generous and dependable; and an exceUent taU^r, whp makes a fine impression." \"Y|; S:^£:$ji|^

Williamson criticized educational systems of the past saying, "The social intelligence of our people has so far failed to keep up to scientific and technological advance, society has shown itself so incapable of properly utilizing the results of invention, that today we find ourselves in the most serious situation the world has ever seen." , ' As a means of preventing another such lack of parallel advancement between educational and social, scientific and technological advancement, Williams suggests first, that controversial questions be met squarely and fairly by the teacher; second; t h a t more emphasis be placed on elementary and secondary institutions; third, that creativity be fostered in the schools; and fourth, that the School system be made more conducive to the fostering of a spirit of social mindedness and cooperation. ;'; v Student Burns Eye In Unusual Accident While working a special experiment in the chemical laboratory last week, Gordon Richardson met with an unusual accident which resulted in an injured eye. While attempting to loosen the glass stopper in a bottle of sodium hydroxide by tapping, pressure was formed inside the bottle which caused the stopper to suddently loosen and spurt out a fine spray of the liquid directly into his eye. The injury was not as serious as it was painful and his sight will not be effected. o Tuesday's Assembly Features Speech on China-Japan Question Many new features are being planned for the 1933 Klipsun according to Eileen Morrison, editor-in- chief. She says students will find a decided difference. between the new Klipsun and last year's issue. One outstanding feature is the cover of the book. Exactly what it is to be like is not being divulged; but from the hints the editor has given this year's cover is going to be extremely attractive. Miss Morrison says the division pages also are being worked out in a new way and promise to be a decided feature of the annual. Another idea which is being tried for the first time is that of having a "who's who" section. In this, many students who do a great deal of work for the school but do not receive recognition in any other way, will be acknowledged. Practically all of the individual pictures have been taken, and they will be ready to send to the engraver shortly. The dummy for the annual is all planned, and department editors are completing their work. The group club pictures were taken last Tuesday afternoon, and other pictures around the campus were taken earlier in the week. o NEXT ASSEMBLY PROGRAM VARIED Myra Gause, Assisted by Sister, to Appear Next Tuesday Much interest and enthusiasm has been stimulated by the Women's P.

This course is being supported with great enthusiasm by the girls. The rythm classes are clearing up a session in folk dancing. Next week will herald the commencement of a course in clogging. A date for the radio program which is to be sponsored by the Womens' P. E. department has not been defintely set. (Continued on Page Four) TESTS HAVE PURPOSE Data Gained is Basis for Teacher Selection Standards I n an article concerning "Entrance Tests as a Factor in Teacher Selection at Bellingham" printed in the Washington Educational Association Journal for February, 1933, written by C. C. Upshall and Harry V. Masters, Research bureau staff at Bellingham Normal, appeared the statement, "Our chief concern then is to establish standards which may be considered valid for those persons who are certified to teach in the elementary grades," in explanation of the basis upon which the tests are given. The article goes on to say that definite standards are set .for arithmetic, spelling, English usage and penmanship; this the freshman must achieve or take the remedial course which is designed to bring his efficiency to the point where he can equal these standards. o— Council Offers Prize As Action Stimulant Whether or not tobacco advertizing should be carried in the Northwest Viking was the topic for discussion by the newly installed Board of Control in a meeting held last Wednesday evening, February, 1. Letters from Roger Chapman, the business manager of the Northwest Viking; and Mrs. Ruth Burnet, faculty adviser to the Viking were discussed. Roger Chapman and President Fisher were called in and interviewed by the Board. Mr. Chapman was asked to withdraw his request to carry tobacco adver-izing. Mr. Ford to Receive Cut Mr. Sam Ford recommende dthe dropping of an intended business trip to Los Angeles because of the financial condition of the Co-op. A motion was made that the president of the Board of Control confer with Mr. Ford in regard to a ten percent salary cut to take effect February 1, 1933. The W. A. A.' was given permission to sell apples and candies at the basketball games. Rec-hour Schedule Fixed Harriet Rickerson was put in charge of the Board of Control banquet to be held February 21. —, o — — — . • • •' Budget Hearings Are Held at Olympia "International questions can never be settled permanently or righteously by war. We must depend on college students and those who have studied or we will have black days ahead." The above is a statement from Dr. Elam Anderson's lecture, "International Good-will Under Fire," which was given in the assembly Tuesday, January 31. I n his address, Dr. Anderson presented the China-Japan question and explained that although China is morally and legally right, she has notdeveloped Manchuria as Japan has. " Y'' '"•' v .::•••, v.Vv -"••Y The repertoire of Myra Byrd Gause, character interpreter, and Jeanette Gause, contralto, the next artists to appear before a Normal audience, includes monologues, pianologues, humorous dialect sketches, "charcoal" sketches, .diminutive dramas, dramatic episodes, narratives, fairy tales, legends, and contralto solos. A more varied program would be hard to find. According to press comments on the former appearance of these young ladies more vivid and finished impersonations of characters are rarely given. Miss Myra Gause specializes in the characterization in costume of one-act plays in their entirety. Her sister accompanying her at the piano furnishes a musical setting for these presentations, besides rendering pianologues and contralto solos. The sisters are well known to California clubs and audiences. Since the Misses Gause Jtiaveap^ peared repeatedly on high school and college stages of the Pacific-coast and the Hawaiian Islands it is to be expected that their rendition will be received with favor by the students of this school. EXPLORER WILL SHOW PICTURES Will Tell of His Recent Amazing Adventures in Alaska When the Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, world famous as the "Glacier Priest", appears here on February 9 at the American theatre, students will be given theopportunity to hear one of the great living explorers and scientists tell of his travels and adventures. He will tell of his recent amazing experiences among Alaska's vofcanos and will show motion pictures of the "Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes." During his recent sojourn in Alaska Father- Hubbard visited Mt. Aniakchak, which he found to be-the largest active volcano known. Hubbard, with his daring pilot, flew around inside the crater and finally landed. This is the first time on record that a plane ever landed inside the crater of an active volcano. A special price of 50 cents has been arranged for Normal school students. Students may purchase these special tickets from Miss Or-leane Fitcha in the president's office. This ticket must "be presented along with the student activity ticket at the theatre box off ice for reserved seats. As a means of stimulating club activity the Inter-club council is sponsoring an award to be given to the club doing the best work for any given quarter. A committee of Gordon Hambley, Louis Shaffer, and Sara Jamieson has worked out what they believe to be a satisfactory method of evaluating club activities in an objective manner. As soon as the plan is presented to the council as'a whole for approval or revision it will be acted on by the Board of Control. o— Chamberlin Expects To Go Back To Land of Communists Soon President C. H. Fisher and Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick appeared before the House committee on appropriations yesterday afternoon to discuss the budget of the Bellingham Normal school for the coming year. This afternoon at 2 o'clock President Fisher and Dr. Kirkpatrick will take up the same matter with the Senate committee on appropriations.

Mr. Chamberlin was tired, had a cold, and was booked for another engagement at eight o'clock the same evening, Friday, January 27, at Ellensburg! He had hot lost any of the vital interest in his subject which characterized his morning talk. Travel is Slow Travel in Russia is slow. Trains and hotels are crowded.
