MEASURES
W. S. C. NECKS
MENTALITIES QUAVER
THE UPPER 4%
By D. C. A.
wMM
The present Legislature has some
definite problems calling for de­cisions
which may have some effect
on the State Normals. Striking rec­ommendations
of the advisory tax
commission, other than its new rev­enue
plan are:
(1) "To abolish one State Normal
y \ v school and transfer its property
to the University or State College
or both."
(The abolition; of one of the
three Normals as a teacher
training institution is advised
• -because the present output of
teachers exceeds the demands).
(2) "The establishment.-'of a single
"lay;>boardy'to •'•'a^mfaiste*'r'"tb:':'~ail
• higher institutions of education.
(This measure is urged consis­tently
by Governor Hartley and
means the replacing of the pres­ent
boards of regents, our trus­tees
such as we have, by a single
controlling lay board.)
Should these measures find a
place before the Legislature now in
session, there will doubtless be some
very specif ic changes in the present
state school system.
W.S.N.S.
Park H. Davis, in a recent article
.advances a new thory as to the de­cline
of intercollegiate athletics felt
by sport writers to be decided. No
longer, the writer asserted, do we
need worry about varsity athletics
running away with education, on
the whole, intercollegiate activities
are declining. because the mass of
college students prefer to take part
in a great variety of intramural
games. Statistics show that enthus­iasm
of student bodies for their
teams is diminishing, that; the play­ers
of today are less skillful than
their,: predecessors and that attend­ance
of undergraduates, graduates,
and the general public is decreasing.
.The only exceptions, he feels, are a
few football games that have be­come
traditional. The new problem
is, will intramural sports destroy in­tercollegiate
games?

GAME AT EIGHT
The Vikings take the floor Satur­day
night for their second cage game
of the season against the St. Mar­tins
Rangers.
St. Martins have taken an ultra­modern
turn. They are becoming
"athletic-minded" from all accounts.
Not that they have been honored
by the Carnegie report, but they
have been putting out some fast
traveling teams this year. Their
basketball team is no exception.
They will have John Puller, All-
State guard from Olympia, and his
running mate* Ike Ogle, second team
All-State forward and also from
Olympia. This pair set the High
School League on fire when they
used to cavort for Olympia. Wiatrak
is known here as a great tackle, but
he is showing equally well on the
basketball floor. Wiatrak is slated
to fill a tackle slot on Coach Phe-lah's1931
grid team. He plays guard
for Father Edward.
Coach Carver is stressing work on
the offense this week. The team is
checked well against Centralia. Ab­bott's
work on the backboard was
especially good. Rork broke fast
for the openings. Coach Carver
realizes that there were many open­ings
in that game that did not pro­duce
points. He wants his men to
ring up sales on all of them.
The Vikings were holding the ball
well in the Blaine practice game,
but they made mistakes of judgment
in their passing. These were purely
mechanical mistakes and can be
overcome with practice.
There seems little chance for vic-

MISS RICHARDSON.
Displayed in the main hall of the,
Library are books which have been
mended, bound or illustrated by
members of last quarter's library
class. Those doing the work are
Carolyn Griffith, Hazel Meeks,
Stuart Fresk, Phyllis Bresnan, Pearl
Urmey, Gladys Smith, and Leila
Voorhies.
Miss Lillian George, who is in
charge of the work stated that
knowing how to keep books in good
condition is of value not only to
librarians, but to teachers, club
workers, and home makers. Those
interested in this work have the op­portunity
of taking the course this
quarter.

STUDENT CO-OP FUND
SHOWS A SMALL GAIN
BOARD HEARS FORD REPORT;
DISCUSS PAPER CONTRACT
PLAN MEMORIAL
- Miss Richardson or the Industrial
Arts department , stated that last
quarter was a red letter quarter for
her classes due mainly to the fact
that they acquired the art of firing
pottery. Several attempts to do this
have ben made before but none have
been successful. An oven was con­structed
of an oil drum and some
bricks and the pottery placed in the
'oven.. "/;•.
As yet they have no way of put­ting
a glaze on the pottery; however
they were finished by dipping them
in a hot solution of beeswax, para-fin,
and turpentine. This gives a
smooth waterproof finish.
The pots are made in moulds of
plaster paris. Some of them were
made on a small potter's wheel
through the efforts of Ann Mur­phy,
however, Mr. Rule has con­sented
to make, a better potter's
wheel for the Industrial Arts d-partment.

Summer Slack
Per student, the students of last
Oummer" quarter spent $5.05 less
than during the fall of 1929.
Likewise the students of this last
Fall quarter spent some $3.69 less
than those of the corresponding
quarter in '29.
Small Gain
The report gave a total gain of
$210.33 for' the fiscal year of 1930.
The -fact that the students spent
lessmohey in recent quarters is at­tributed
to the reduction in prices
and not to a smaller volume of
business.
It was brought out at the meet­ing
that this small gain was in
keeping with the "low-profit poli­cies"
of the student stores.
Plaque Report
Arthur Gravrock reported on the
progress in securing a marker for
the Service Tree.
James Carrell met with the Board
in the interest of The Viking. A
change is to be made next week in
the temporary business manager's
contract. — -o '•—

BYRD TALK DRAWS
BIG FROM COUNTY
MANY PUPILS TURNED AWAY
FROM TALK ON ARCTIC.
TWO LECTURES
Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn
Byrd related his experiences oh the
Antarctic expedition in two illus­trated
lectures. at the: American the
ater last Wednesday,. January 14.
Byrd gave a matinee at 2:30 for
children, and another performance
at 8 o'clock for adults.
Motoring from Seattle, Byrd
missed the Boy Scouts who were
waiting to welcomehim and arrived
in Bellingham at 11:30, Wednesday
morning. After the two lectures he
immediately left to drive back to
Seattle.
On account of the estimated sale
of tickets from the outrof-town dis­tricts
there were more tickets sold
than there were seats. , The police
and the fire marshal were lenient
in allowing the crowd to attend the
lecture, and after seating people in
the aisles and allowing every pos­sible
standing room, they were
forced to turn away more than two
hundred people at both shows.
Although numerous pictures of
this trip have been shown in BeK
lingham before, Byrd saved those
of most interest for his own lecture.
Shutters Freeze
These pictures are not appreciated
by the general public as much as
they should be perhaps, when one
considers the conditions under which
the photographs were taken. Byrd
said in many cases the camera men
had to carry the motion picture
cameras close to their bodies to avoid
freezing of the cameras due to the
cold.
Some of the films were ruined
since the shutters of the cameras
were paralyzed, as it were, by the
extreme cold. The smaller cameras
were always carried inside the par­kas,
and placed near the fire to
thaw out upon the* return of the
camera men to the base.
Byrd's account of the Antarctic
expedition was interesting, hot only

PLAN IS ADVOCATED THAT
WOULD DO AWAY WITH ONE
OF THREE SCHOOLS.
Coming as a surprise to many is
the recommendation in the report of
Governor Roland H. Hartley's Ad­visory
Tax .Commission^ that one
Board of Regents be established for
all the institutions of higher learning
in the state. This advisement was
introduced to the slate legislature
Tuesday morning; and was placed
before them backed by executive
approval.
There are twenty-two suits that
are being brought before the law
makers in regards to the taxes of
the state.. These are classed as cures
for the taxation ills that exist.
Three Affected"
There are three points introduced
that will affect the Normal school
situation. The first being that a
central Board of Regents will be
used instead of separate boards for
the state higher educational units,
The second pulls for the abolition
of one of the three Normal schools.
The physical property of this insti
tution," in case the abandonment
plan works, would revert to either
the University of Washington, the
State College at Pullman, or to both
in a divided manner.
The third deals with the amount
of revenue that goes to the school
system in general This revenue
will have to be increased to carry
out the demands of the Showalter
bill, but the tendency is to reduce
the assessment on real estate. The
tax would thus be taken indirectly
and would be based on the following
recommendations: Increase on in­come
tax to raise $630,000 annual­ly;
5 per cent tax on corporation
earnings that would net some $2,-
