"HELLO, BEAUTIFUL!'
Roger Chapman.
Now that the quarter has suc­cessfully
begun and nfce have paid
our delinquent" dues, dropped three
classes and substituted two, we can
begin to concentrate on the need
for bigger and better.. Rec... hours.
And all this leads up to a big ar­gument
that has points pro and con,
all discission to' be left to those
running for student offices. It's a
good subject for planks and plank-ets.

PHILOSOPHIZING
You can never know too much,
believing too much is what hurts.
_W.S.N.S.-^-
(Note: Here I was already to
pull a scorcher on the Daily when
Mr. Seller goes and corrects his own
error. But here goes, anyway.)
Dick Seller, one of my contem­porary
columnists on the U. of W:
Daily, had a lovely little sermon in
Collegiana last Monday, in which
he commented upon the death of
Roscoe "Fatly" Arhuckle, which
he said took place on the same day
that Knute Rockne was killed. He
continued: "Everyone in the coun­try
knew of 'Rock's' death. Great
sportsmen and the great sports lov­ing
public all over the country
mourned his going. i
"Few even heard of the passing of
the man once hailed as 'the world's
funniest fat man. Knute Rockne
was a leader and a builder of men"
All well and good, but here is
where Dick missed his cue. An Ar-buckle
did die, but not "Fatty." Ros­coe,
himself, is now directing come­dies
for Educational Films Corpora­tion
under the name of William
Goodrich, the name he took after his
sensational scandal. Arbuckle's lat­est
picture is called "Back Page."
o
Here is a nice encouraging bit of
verse that I found the other day.
It's quite appropriate for the be­ginning
of a new quarter.

"Dont be discouraged if your work
is large
And. your deeds are few;
For once the mighty oak
Was a nut like you!"

PETITIONED NOMINEES GIVE
PLATFORMS AND OPINIONS
TO NEWSPAPER REPORTER.
INTEREST INCREASES
With apparent little concern pre­vailing
among the students as a
whole, the annual Spring quarter
student body election machine has
been in motion for the past week.
Students nominated by petition so
far in the campaign are: For presi­dent,
Bob Walters, Eddie Duyff, and
Colin Campbell; for vice-president,
Nellie Cox and Basil Ames; for four-quarter
representative, Ethel Little
and Sivert Skotheim; for one-quar^
ter representative, Jim McCleery
and Roger Chapman. The nominees
for faculty representative for the
Spring quarter are E. J. Arntzen,
I. E. Miller, and Miss Lucy Kangley.
As many candidates as possible
were questioned by a Viking report­er.
Bob Walters, when asked if it
were true that he would withdraw
his hat from the presidential ring,
replied in the affirmative. He stated:
"As I won't be in school next year,
and have my interests centered on
The Viking at the present, it is ne­cessary
that I withdraw my name."
Eddie Duyff said: "Right now I
feel that there need be no radical
changes made in the policies pur­sued
by the present administration.''

Men Fail to Escape Strict Decree

If you see Bob Carboneau or
"Posy" Flowers, or some other fas­tidious
gentleman trotting about the
halls in golf knickers, plus fours, or
light flannels, .you will know that
they are simply getting ready for
tonight's big event^-the. Spring Sport
Frolic. And when you decide what
you will dazzle "her" with tonight,
you'll want to add some of what
the shops call "Fashion's Favrites"
in the way of accessories. •-,'-.
Conservatism seems to be the key­note
of the well dressed man's ward­robe
for 1931. Socks are going in
for plain colors, and very sedate
colors at that. Plain colored ties,
or very small pattern weaves are
good, and the haberdashers are
showing a number of plain shan­tungs
and satins.

CONCERT OF MUSICAL ART­ISTS'
SERIES OF YEAR.
BENOIST ACCOMPANIST
Normal school students and other
music lovers of Bellingham and vi­cinity
were favored last night by
one of the most enjoyable concerts
of the year, given by Albert Spald­ing,
in the First Presbyterian church.
The recital, commencing at 8:15,
brought to a fitting close the series
of Musical Artists' programs spon­sored
by the Bellingham State Nor­mal
school and the Bellingham Wo­men's
Music Club.
Albert Spalding is said by many
critics to be the foremost living
violinist of America;, and spends
six months of each year touring
America, the remaining time being
spent on European engagements.
Accompanied by Andre Benoist,
the violinist presented a varied pro­gram
of classical selections, includ­ing
Sonata in C minor by Beethoven,
in which Mr. Spalding displayed re­markably
fine technique and ease
of interpretation. Andahtino quiet-
QSO, by Cesar Franck, called forth
delighted applause. The program
ended with "I Palpiti," by Paganini,
a number which scored an unusual
success.
