C. All of these figures are given for the institution year of 1929-1930, which are the last figures available that enable us to compare our state with the other States of the United States. The length of the school term in the State of Washington is 179 days or practically 9 monts; whereas the school term throughout the United States is 172 days, in 1889, when Washington was admitted to the United States, the average length of the school term was 97 days. Of all the children of school age which is from five to seventeen years :%&& (Continued on Page Three) o CUMMINS ACTS AS DEAN WHILE BEVER IS AWAY In the absence of Dean , James Bever, Miss Nora B. Cummins has charge of registration for the winter quarter and will serve as chairman of all committees on which Mr. Bever has been acting.- Because of the added work of the deanship, Miss Cummins will not teach political science this quarter, although she WUieonttaue to teach, history; Dean Bever will spend his three-months vacation in Berkeley. CaL, with His family. He will study at the uniyersity: there, where his two daughters, Virginia and Allena, are enrolled. His son, James Jr., is attending^ Berkeley v junior high school. .:. ;vi BAND TRY-OUTS AT REC HOUR TONIGHT This afternoon from 4 to 5:30, o'clock the gymnasium will once again be pounded by enthusiastic feet as a rec hour is staged. It is customary that on Friday a school dance is held to which student body tickets only will admit. During a month three afternoon rec hours are held and one evening rec hour. The one evening dance is two hours long, and the afternoon one hour and is frequently held for an hour and a half. Orchestra try-outs for the quarter will be held today. Chuck Cis-sna and his band are scheduled for appearance. This orchestra is said to have a trio which will add variety. Bob Walters and his boys are the second band to play today. This group furnished the music for the fall quarter although the personnel has been somewhat changed. The bands will play alternately and the popular orchestra will be chosen by student ballot. This band will play for the entire winter quarter. Sachs Speaks On Youth of France A comparison of. the youth of France and the United States was the theme of the address by Maurice Sachs, close student of contemporary life, culture and political trends, in the assembly of Tuesday, January 3. Himself a young mon, the contrasts in the lives of French and Americans from the ages of 18 to 22 which were drawn by the French lecturer held added interest for an audience containing a large percen-age of first voters. While attributing superior physical courage to American college students with their broad program of sports, Monsieur Sachs termed them conservative artistically and politically in comparison to his youthful countrymen. Little concern with questions of morality, a veneration of public leaders amounting almost to superstition, an ardent devotion to contemporary writers and painters, and a lack of ambition for pecuniary affluence, were named as traits common to French boys and girls not shared by young Americans. "At twenty-five life is just beginning for the youth of the United States, for the French youth that age is in a way an end—he has settled for life to what his father has selected for him," was M. Sachs' congratulation to his audience on its happier placement in a country which has not yet reached maturity. = o FORMER STUDE&T WED Announcement has been made of the marriage of Irigaborg Sagen, of Stanwood, to Russell Lopez, which took place at Everett, Dec. 15. Mrs. Lopez is a graduate of Normal. VIKING BROADCAST TO PRESENT I, R-C, Presenting the International Relations club the Viking broadcast will filter out onto the ether tonight at 9:30 p. m. This feature is the first club broadcast of a series which will include air shows given by all the active organizations of the school. Joseph Atkinson, president of the club, will introduce the program with a five minute talk on the purposes and ideals of the organization. Kenneth Bernet, vice president, will demonstrate his musical talent in a group of piano solos. Timely indeed is the closing feature of the program: a pro and con discussion of the war debt situation by Ina Kirk-man and Julius Dornblut. Programs of this caliber have been designed to stimulate interest in Normal activities among the towns people as well as to keep the Viking Frosh at home around the radio on Friday evenings. o Quarter Century Mark Reached by Local Bible Club "A matter of pride to tne Normal Y. W. C. A. is its twenty-fifth Bible Institute to be held during next week, January 12 to 15. Not so many organizations of the school have celebrated twenty-fifth anniversaries that such an occasion is yet without interest, or has ceased to be a cause for congratulation," says Miss M. Belle Sperry, faculty leader of the Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. was organized here during the first term of Bellingham Normal. The first Bible institute under its auspices was held in 1908. Local pastors were speakers. Gradually more specialized leaders of girls' discussions have, been (Continued on Page Two) o Photographs Are Seen at Library Collection Is of Highest Grade Late Camera Studies On display in the juvenile library is "Men At Work", by Lewis W. Hine, a collection of photographs as interesting and individual as portraits. Many of Mr. Hine's subjects are structural "sky-riders" caught in the act; others are railroaders and workers with huge turbines. These camera studies are examples of the highest grade modern photography. Mr. Hine, who is a brother-in-law of Miss Mary Rich, director of the Campus Training school, has in preparation a similar collection of photographs of rural industry. "Men At Work" was iisted in December issues of "Progressive Education" and '^The Journal of the National Education Association" as one of the new books of especial value to teachers of elementary grades. » WINTER TERM BRINGS TALENT Diversified Entertainment to be Held During Quarter Entertainment, for the winter quarter already promises plenty of diversion and recreation. Social activities are plentifully sprinkled through the next eleven weeks, and these are interspersed with a variety of assembly programs calculated to both amuse and interest. The Normal stage will support an assortment of artists ranging from grave lecturers to gay marionettes, from a silvery soprano to a spangled Spanish dancer. Mr. Victor H. Hoppe's play production group will fill two engaments during the quarter, while that genial head of the Normal Speech department will personally read Phillip Barry's "Animal Kingdom" at one of the last assemblies of the term. Marionettes Coming A treat comparable in reputation to the memorable Hall Johnson choir is to be found in Tony Sarg's marionettes, appearing here Feb. 28, under the sponsorship of the P. E. O. society. This is not Mr. Sarg's first visit to Bellingnam. He has performed on the Normal stage on several previous occasions. However, this is his first tour of this section of the country in recent years. World affairs will figure preeminently in lecture topics booked. Both sides of the Chinese-Japanese situation are to be discussed by rep- (Continued on Page Two) o EDENS HALL HAS OPENING MEETING Officers Elected and Date Set for Winter Informal r~""~ President C.

In a school community like ours students and faculty should do intelligent planning to relieve the stress and strain of living so that the primary business of being students may be tar terfered with as little as,possible.

Most of us can improve the opportunities offered in school life to increase knowledge, develop abilities, cultivate aesthetic tastes, increase tolerance for human shbrtcpmings, and enlarge our understanding of what is going on in the world about us. In a time like the. ptesent when the difficult situations of life have multiplied for The first Edens Hall house meeting of the year was held Tuesday, Jan. 3. New officers were elected and the date for the winter informal was set. Inez Williams was re-elected vice-president. Elizabeth Schuehle was elected secretary-treasurer, Lorinda Ward, house reporter, and Mayme Macintosh, social chairman. February 18 was selected as the date for the winter informal. Plans were also discussed for giving a Sunday evening tea for the outside girls. An announcement was made that the pajama party is to be given Tuesday, Jan. 10, and committees have been appointed. Those in charge of initiation are: Julia -Christensen, chairman, June McLeod, Evelyn Larsen; paddle squad, Margaret Jorgensen, chairman, Doris Jurgensen, Emma Beuh-ler, Moane Monkman, Genevieve Peters, Jane O'Neil, Marian Todd; program, Dot Kelly, Minnie Alder-son, Catherine Hurby, Evelyn Lingg; refreshments, - Martha Shudshift, Peggy McKay, Dale Lawrence, Helen Esslinger, Lottie Stevenson; decoration, Marie de Gallier, Lucy Van Vecthen, Dolphine Anderson, Connie Ingerson. —o ERROR IN PUBLICATION OF SPEECH CORRECTED mmfe In the Northwest Viking of December 16, appeared a story giving a brief account of the speech, "Left-handedness and What to do About it," delivered by Dr. H. V. Masters over station K-V-O-S on the Normal school program. The statement was printed, "A left-handed person has many advantages over a right-handed person." This shbud have read, "Left-handed persons are sometimes to be preferred over otherwise equally competent right-handed persons, as fbr example, toe left-handed^pitcher iii baseball, or the bacfcfield mari in football, who can tinw a piss with storting acxruracy w ^ left jba^i^•:'':^:^i^.•t•'•••.^^,\•.^^^•.''.•^"•^. CLUB MEMBERS IN TO MEET All Factions of School Will Represented by Delegates or by Petition Be REQUIREMENTS ARE SET Eligibility of the Students Will Be Deoided by. Inter-club Council Under Direction of Erickson. Next Tuesday, in Room 108, the delegates from the various clubs and organizations of this school will meet in convention to nominate candidates for student body offices. Nominating conventions are no long er a mystery to the general run of people because of the liberal use of the radio during our great presidential nominating conventions.. Some of the methods and the purposes back of the convention system used in our school are briefy outlined in this article. . System of Student Convention From information given by Miss Norah B. Cummins and the student Blue Book, it was found that all the clubs and organizations of this school, including the - Men's club, the Womens league, and the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes are privileged to send two delegates to this convention. Those students who are not in any organization or club have the. privilege of placing the 'names of candidates they wish to elect upon petitions on the bulletin board. In this fashion every faction is assured of fair representation. The delegates may then choose one, two or three, but no more candidates for each office. As names are suggested and agreed upon, the qualifications of the candidates are checked. Two requirements must be met. First, there is the point system; each office, in order of its importance, is assigned a cer-. tain number of points, and no student may carry more than . twenty points. Second, no student whose grade point average is below 2.5' may carry more than 10 points, and any student whose average is below 2.0 may carry only 5 points. These rules are designed to prevent students from overloading themselves with extra-curricular activities, and to prevent one person from holding too many offices. Page 62 of the Blue Book gives the number of points for each office in the school. • Requirements to be Met The eligibility of students is determined by the Inter-Club Council, the same organization, which under the capable guidance of Miss Emma Erickson, sponsored the classes in parliamentary procedure last quarter. It is expected that the knowledge of parliamentary law gained will help the convention to run smoothly and swiftly. Some knowledge of organized procedure is essential to those preparing to enter the teaching, field, because all the . teachers are called upon at some time or another to participate in community activities involving the use of such knowledge. Election of Delegates Richard Hammett, new president of the council, has prepared a sche-' dule that will permit all clubs and organizations to meet and elect delegates to the forthcoming convene tion without conflicts with classes or '.-' activities. o —- •:':.•.• GRADS WIN POSITIONS i ' Two graduates haVe latery beesh app^t^''tb;.teai9u^.p^tipi]$. yi^-, let w a ^ h is t e a c ^ ^ at F<n*s; Wash: Muriel BCyhr^ hiss; recently begun teachlnlg ; t t ^ ftfttk' 'andl •' si^1--'8jra^'':'iMi':V^l^J^>^- in the Meridian district;;::! ^M^rt

TECHNOCRACY
SUDS
By EDITH
Howdy, folks!
So the Normalite has hoisted satin
sails for once. Gone feminine. The
skipper's cabin will be cluttered with
hairpins, Freezone and silk pajamas
instead of cuff links and Burma.
Shave.
W.S.N.S.
Congratulations to the new Editor.
Captains may come and captains
may go, but the good ship' Viking
sails on; her direction however,
depends- on the Editor. Long may
he serve and wisely.

Robot Professors.
The possibility of talking -books
and robot college professors is seen
by the President's research committee
on social trends.
In its findings the committee
says: -
"It may be the world will find
much use. for talking books; schools
and colleges may listen to lectures
by long-running phonographs or
talking machines. Seeing with that
new electric eye, the photo-electric
cell, and recording what is seen,
appears to have almost unlimited
applications."
So science is going to ruin that
game for us teachers, too. Well, let's
study to be morticians, then we can
chuckle at scientists because people
will die.
-W.S.N.S.
Jack Hogan has just returned
from hitch-hiking to Port Angeles.
He says he's a little stiff from
Walking. Where did you say you
were from, Jack?
W.SJST.S.
What is this technocracy? A new
shaving soap, entree, or fingernail
polish? Maybe it's the name of a
new brewery corporation. Browsing
around we've found that some people
seem to think it is Russian Communism
with a necktie.
R. E. Smith says in the Oregonian,
"Technocracy can't work in the
United States, because it is a violation
of every American principle
and tradition."
"It means the socialization of industry,
distribution and agriculture.
The abolishment of private ownership
of property and our present
banking and currency systems."

student at' Bellingham Normal
school. She attended Normal three
quarters; fall, 1931, and winter and
spring of 1932.

At the age of 12 Miss Dow was
soloist in the Seattle Symphony
orchestra and was the outstanding
violinist of Seattle in 1929,' when
Walter Kreuger offered her a position
in the Seattle Symphony as
first violin.
Some years ago she spent a year
studying in New York, where she
played for Leopold Auer, who was
at that time ranked the greatest
violin teacher in the world. She
was highly recommended by him
and played for his successor, Paul
Kochanski, who appeared in concert
at Normal when Miss Dow was a
student. Kochanski said of her that
such combination of tone and technique
was very rare in one so
young.
Contest Winner in 1927
In 1927, in a national violin contest
sponsored by the Women's Federation
of Music clubs at Chicago,
she won joint first place. For this
she obtained a year's scholarship at
Rockford college in Illinois.
Students at the Normal say her
piano playing almost equals her
violin talent. She has composed
several piano numbers and violin
selections.
Miss Marie Druse says, "Emily
will be given one of the most cordial
receptions accorded to any artist
appearing here."
Miss Dow will be "accompanied by

Future Educational
Problems Discussed
by President Fisher
The following information has been
gathered from a recent bulletin issued
by the United States Office of
Education, Washington, D. C. All of
these figures are given for the institution
year of 1929-1930, which are
the last figures available that enable
us to compare our state with the
other States of the United States.
The length of the school term in
the State of Washington is 179 days
or practically 9 monts; whereas the
school term throughout the United
States is 172 days, in 1889, when
Washington was admitted to the
United States, the average length of
the school term was 97 days.

BAND TRY-OUTS AT
REC HOUR TONIGHT
This afternoon from 4 to 5:30,
o'clock the gymnasium will once
again be pounded by enthusiastic
feet as a rec hour is staged.
It is customary that on Friday a
school dance is held to which student
body tickets only will admit.
During a month three afternoon rec
hours are held and one evening rec
hour. The one evening dance is two
hours long, and the afternoon one
hour and is frequently held for an
hour and a half.

to have a trio which will add variety.
Bob Walters and his boys are the
second band to play today. This
group furnished the music for the
fall quarter although the personnel
has been somewhat changed.
The bands will play alternately
and the popular orchestra will be
chosen by student ballot. This band
will play for the entire winter quarter.
Sachs Speaks On
Youth of France
A comparison of. the youth of
France and the United States was
the theme of the address by Maurice
Sachs, close student of contemporary
life, culture and political trends,
in the assembly of Tuesday, January
3. Himself a young mon, the contrasts
in the lives of French and
Americans from the ages of 18 to 22
which were drawn by the French
lecturer held added interest for an
audience containing a large percen-age
of first voters.
While attributing superior physical
courage to American college
students with their broad program
of sports, Monsieur Sachs termed
them conservative artistically and
politically in comparison to his
youthful countrymen. Little concern
with questions of morality, a veneration
of public leaders amounting almost
to superstition, an ardent devotion
to contemporary writers and
painters, and a lack of ambition for
pecuniary affluence, were named as
traits common to French boys and
girls not shared by young Americans.
"At twenty-five life is just beginning
for the youth of the United
States, for the French youth that
age is in a way an end—he has settled
for life to what his father has
selected for him," was M. Sachs'
congratulation to his audience on
its happier placement in a country
which has not yet reached maturity.

VIKING BROADCAST
TO PRESENT I, R-C,
Presenting the International Relations
club the Viking broadcast
will filter out onto the ether tonight
at 9:30 p. m. This feature is
the first club broadcast of a series
which will include air shows given
by all the active organizations of
the school.
Joseph Atkinson, president of the
club, will introduce the program
with a five minute talk on the purposes
and ideals of the organization.
Kenneth Bernet, vice president, will
demonstrate his musical talent in a
group of piano solos. Timely indeed
is the closing feature of the program:
a pro and con discussion of
the war debt situation by Ina Kirk-man
and Julius Dornblut.
Programs of this caliber have
been designed to stimulate interest
in Normal activities among the
towns people as well as to keep the
Viking Frosh at home around the
radio on Friday evenings.

Quarter Century
Mark Reached by
Local Bible Club
"A matter of pride to tne Normal
Y. W. C. A. is its twenty-fifth Bible
Institute to be held during next
week, January 12 to 15. Not so many
organizations of the school have celebrated
twenty-fifth anniversaries
that such an occasion is yet without
interest, or has ceased to be a cause
for congratulation," says Miss M.
Belle Sperry, faculty leader of the
Y. W. C. A.
The Y. W. C. A. was organized
here during the first term of Bellingham
Normal. The first Bible institute
under its auspices was held
in 1908. Local pastors were speakers.
Gradually more specialized leaders
of girls' discussions have, been

Photographs Are
Seen at Library
Collection Is of Highest Grade
Late Camera Studies
On display in the juvenile library
is "Men At Work", by Lewis W.
Hine, a collection of photographs as
interesting and individual as portraits.
Many of Mr. Hine's subjects
are structural "sky-riders" caught in
the act; others are railroaders and
workers with huge turbines. These
camera studies are examples of the
highest grade modern photography.
Mr. Hine, who is a brother-in-law
of Miss Mary Rich, director of the
Campus Training school, has in preparation
a similar collection of photographs
of rural industry.
"Men At Work" was iisted in
December issues of "Progressive Education"
and '^The Journal of the
National Education Association" as
one of the new books of especial
value to teachers of elementary
grades. »
WINTER TERM
BRINGS TALENT
Diversified Entertainment to be
Held During Quarter
Entertainment, for the winter
quarter already promises plenty of
diversion and recreation. Social activities
are plentifully sprinkled
through the next eleven weeks, and
these are interspersed with a variety
of assembly programs calculated
to both amuse and interest.
The Normal stage will support an
assortment of artists ranging from
grave lecturers to gay marionettes,
from a silvery soprano to a spangled
Spanish dancer. Mr. Victor H.
Hoppe's play production group will
fill two engaments during the quarter,
while that genial head of the
Normal Speech department will personally
read Phillip Barry's "Animal
Kingdom" at one of the last
assemblies of the term.
Marionettes Coming
A treat comparable in reputation
to the memorable Hall Johnson
choir is to be found in Tony Sarg's
marionettes, appearing here Feb. 28,
under the sponsorship of the P. E.
O. society. This is not Mr. Sarg's
first visit to Bellingnam. He has
performed on the Normal stage on
several previous occasions. However,
this is his first tour of this
section of the country in recent
years.
World affairs will figure preeminently
in lecture topics booked. Both
sides of the Chinese-Japanese situation
are to be discussed by rep-

The statement was printed, "A

REQUIREMENTS ARE SET
Eligibility of the Students Will Be
Deoided by. Inter-club Council
Under Direction of Erickson.
Next Tuesday, in Room 108, the
delegates from the various clubs
and organizations of this school will
meet in convention to nominate candidates
for student body offices.
Nominating conventions are no long
er a mystery to the general run of
people because of the liberal use of
the radio during our great presidential
nominating conventions.. Some
of the methods and the purposes
back of the convention system used
in our school are briefy outlined in
this article.
. System of Student Convention
From information given by Miss
Norah B. Cummins and the student
Blue Book, it was found that all the
clubs and organizations of this
school, including the - Men's club,
the Womens league, and the Freshman,
Sophomore, Junior and Senior
classes are privileged to send two
delegates to this convention. Those
students who are not in any organization
or club have the. privilege of
placing the 'names of candidates
they wish to elect upon petitions on
the bulletin board. In this fashion
every faction is assured of fair representation.
The delegates may then
choose one, two or three, but no
more candidates for each office. As
names are suggested and agreed upon,
the qualifications of the candidates
are checked. Two requirements
must be met. First, there is the
point system; each office, in order
of its importance, is assigned a cer-.
tain number of points, and no student
may carry more than . twenty
points. Second, no student whose
grade point average is below 2.5'
may carry more than 10 points, and
any student whose average is below
2.0 may carry only 5 points.
These rules are designed to prevent
students from overloading themselves
with extra-curricular activities,
and to prevent one person from
holding too many offices. Page 62
of the Blue Book gives the number
of points for each office in the
school. •
Requirements to be Met
The eligibility of students is determined
by the Inter-Club Council,
the same organization, which under
the capable guidance of Miss Emma
Erickson, sponsored the classes in
parliamentary procedure last quarter.
It is expected that the knowledge
of parliamentary law gained
will help the convention to run
smoothly and swiftly. Some knowledge
of organized procedure is essential
to those preparing to enter
the teaching, field, because all the .
teachers are called upon at some
time or another to participate in
community activities involving the
use of such knowledge.
Election of Delegates
Richard Hammett, new president
of the council, has prepared a sche-'
dule that will permit all clubs and
organizations to meet and elect delegates
to the forthcoming convene
tion without conflicts with classes or '.-'
activities.
