VOL. XXIX—NO. 36 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, April 4, Normalite CHANGES HANDICAP INFORMAL AND YE DIARY —Bob Walters B A M STUART TO TALK IN ASSEMBLY "The old order changeth". We've reached a new quarter, we lost our editor, the writer of Normalite can now be found passing out orders from the editorial desk, and we've been appointed the new Collector. -W. S. N. S.- Yea, Collector of "Odds 'n Ends". And we're all ready to chop the stuff up, mix well, change its name, and put it once more into the halls of school through the "Colyums" of Normalite. -W. S. N. S. Normalite, the Viking's so-called "cheap" editorial column, is being written 300 miles south of Bellingham. Thus in accordance with the fine early spring weather, Normalite comes to you with a Southern exposure tint." -W. S. N. S.- Before we go any further, we wish to extend best wishes to the new chief, Ray Craft... We, in the meantime, regret losing the capable Dolly Anderson. As there is no change in the Business Manager's position, we hope that every thing goes as well as it has been, for G. W. L. W. S. N. S.- Handicap! That is the definite -impression that we get of the One Dollar late registration fee. It may mean extra work for the office force, but it means plenty of extra work for the one digging up the •dollar. ( W. S. N. S. It's true that in some cases the registration could be made on time instead of holding it over, but in many instances students who really need that dollar have complained of the ruling. There are arguments for the fee, but we still insist that to many it is a handicap. -W. S. N. S, ; We are interested in the W. A. A. Informal tonight, and hope that it is a success. "The funds raised will be used in connection with the""VT-queen lodge, which increases the school's- property, and aids the' women's program. -W. S. N. S. Then, too, we are always anxious to see a dance staged at the very beginning of each quarter. It seems to start things off with plenty of punch. It also comes at a time when activities are practically nil. ^ W. S. N. S.- Which brings us to one contention that we have held for a long time. A big mixer at the start of every quarter would be an ideal starter. The coming informal isn't open to all, so why not a big all-school mixer, soon? ' . W. S. N. S. Henry Ford has a breath smelling department that works in the mornings with the purpose of keeping drinking away from the job. Pity such an official in this school, for some youth would surely get. revenge by feasting on onions, garlic, or limburger at the breakfast table. : W. S. N. S.

PICTURES ILLUSTRATE Miss Stuart Assisted With the Synchronization and| Movietone Prologue of the motion Picture. With a fascinating interpretation of the customs and folk lore of the Maori people of New Zealand, Bathie Stuart of that insular country, will appear in the 11 o'clock assembly next Tuesday morning. The authenticity of the information she will give in her program is established by the endorsement of the government of New Zealand. Motion Picture Film Through years of study and association, Miss Stuart has learned the songs, legends and dances of the Maoris, and is "as proficient in the rendition of their ceremonials and then- sweet haunting melodies as the natives themselves." There is nothing more fascinating than to be given a glimpse of native customs in little known parts of the world. Miss Stuart gives a most interesting and illuminating talk on the customs and lives of the Maoris and introduces a motion picture film made by the New Zealand publicity department, showing authentically the country and its people. Assisted in Movies Bathie Stuart has appeared before such representative clubs in California as the California Club of San Francisco; the Friday Morning Club, Beverly Hills • Woman's Club, Valley Hunt Club of Pasadena,, and many others just as prominent. While in Hollywood, she assisted with the sound synchronization, and made a movietone prologue for the New Zealand piature, "Under the Southern Cross", released through the Universal Film Corporation. o NORMAL DRAMATISTS TO BE SEEN FRIDAY Class in Play Production to Present : One-act Drama Under the Direction of Helen Sullivan. MISS RICH TRAVELING EAST FOR SIX WEEKS OF WORK AND VACATION Miss Mary Rich, head of the training school, left March 28 for conferences in the East and at the same time will take her vacation. She plans to be gone six weeks, returning the first week in May. The Progressive Education Association convention, to which Miss Rich is a delegate, meets at Washington, D. C, April 3 to 5. After the meeting she will visit schools in the Eastern states to get new ideas for the Normal training school. From April 25 to May 1, there is the National Y. W. C. A. conference in Detroit, Michigan. Miss Rich will attend this as a representative from Washington, and will then return home. . o • WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DANCE TO OCCUR TONIGHT April Showers Idea Is to Prevail Throughout Affair With Purple Streamers to Symbolize Rain. TO BE TRULY INFORMAL "The Giant's Stair', a one-act islay by Wilbur Daniel Steele, crammed with suspense and surprises, will be given in next Friday's assembly by the Normal class in play production, Speech 103. Rehearsal of the play was directed by Helen Sullivan, under the supervision of Victor H. Hoppe. • The story of the play is set in the mountains of North Carolina, among the simple, uneducated mountain people. The action occurs on the night of a mountain storm, with all its fury of wind and rain. The plot is filled with thrills, and' stresses heavily the elements of emotion and suspense. The four characters of the play are Mrs. Wetherburn, played by Mary MacDonald; Till, her sister, played by Virginia Turner; Sheriff Vane, played by Queritin Quick; and Kantpole, the county prosecuting attorney, played by Hugh Lovegren. —o FORMER S T U D E N T HELD BY' CHINESE BANDITS Nina Eleanor Gemmell, whom the papers reported tins weex as Having been captured by Cnmese bandits, together with Mr. and Mrs..R. W. Porteous, was formerly of this school, having graduated in. 1918.. Miss Gemmell has been doing missionary work in China under the China Inland Mission as principal of the Yuanchow mission school for girls: Reports indicate ^that Miss Gemmell is in a serious predicament as these same bandits have been doing... some ruthless slaughtering and robbing in several provinces of South China on the Yangtse'river. . |n m | ,„ ,- nn „», I There are a few tickets for t f tonight's dance, left over. Stu- f i dents may buy them on the s I main landing this afternoon 1 I for 75c a couple. Hurry! Hur- j j ry! Hurry! I With a huge, gay colored rainbow ruling over the night, the W. A. A. girls will sponsor their first annual dance in the big gym this evening, with the "Rec" orchestra furnishing the music. An April Showers idea, will be. carried throughout the informal affair with programs and decorations emphasizing the scheme. Purple streamers floating down, will give an effect of Spring rains, and the rainbow at one corner will contribute its color to the decorations. Perhaps, if one comes with the thoughts of a good time at hand, the pot of gold may be found near the end of the rainbow. Programs Effective Brilliant purple programs lettered in gold will hold the names of partners for the dance. They will be designed to carry out the general motif of the decorations. The dance, begins at 8:30. Programs will be given out upon arrival and made out accordingly. Fifteen dances and an extra will make out the usual list and intermission coming between the eighth and ninth dance. Ann Swanson is in charge of the dance, assisted by members from the'W. A. A. Sports Clothes Reign Men and women will wear sports clothes; preferably skirts and .blouses for the women and cords and bright sweaters for the men. This makes the dance more informal, will add color, and truly carries out a sports dance. There has been a request made that attendants plan to be there on time, a more successful dance will be carried out and better time can be had by the sport-dancers. o :— Ford Is Given Office at Pullman Meeting Sam Ford returned last week from a trip to Pullman, where he attended the annual College Bookstore Association convention at. which bookstores from all the leading colleges,, were represented. Mr. Ford was honored by being elected secretary- treasurer of the organization, while Oscar Willman, manager of the Washington State College bookstore, "was elected president and will attend the Eastern convention. Mr. Ford reports that the trip, proved very profitable and that the ties bound by the convention between the various stores will prove a help to the students. . —— O- : — ' ' Miss Ruth Piatt's class in Botany made its first.tour of exploration over the campus Wednesday, studying the evergreen ..trees.

Miss Edens was granted a leave of absence for the year 1928-29 to take a.trip around the world. While in Europe, she felt the need for more time for her journey, and, at her request, her leave of absence was extended for the year 1929-30. She.returned to New York City last fall. Upon her return to the United States, she underwent two major operations, from which she suffered a relapse. Because of her rare ability as a teacher, her passing is a great loss to the teaching profession as well as to the school, which she so successfully served since 1910. Fisher Pays Tribute President C. H. Fisher, when interviewed, paid a fine tribute to Miss Edens: "Miss Olive Edens was an outstanding personality and her teaching was just as outstanding as her personality. She had been inseparably identified with the life and spirit of the Bellingham State Normal School for the past twenty years. Her personality and teaching have made a lasting contribution to the character of this school. The Bellingham State Normal School always will be indebted to her for qualities of mind and heart which will permanently endure in the life and work of this institution. Both students, and members of the faculty recognized her unusual ability to stimulate intellectual interests and to appeal to the highest ideals of individual conduct and human relationships. Life Adventurous "To Miss Edens, life was a great adventure and each experience added new meaning and significance to OLIVE EDENS life. She did not allow her life to be limited and circumscribed by formula and creed. She was one of those rare individuals who are not afraid to let their thinking and experience lead to new truths. Being (Continued oi Page Four) THURSDAY DAY SET FOR PLAY TRYOUTS Cast to be Chosen from Those in Club and Others Interested. Director Urges Large Turnout. Tryouts for the " spring quarter Drama club play will be held next Thursday night, April 10, from 3 to 5 in room 308. Members of the club and those students who are very much interested in dramatics are eligible to turn out. Mr. Hoppe, director, has announced that the play selected is Philip Barry's "The Youngest". The play is a characteristic American comedy of the upper middle ,class and suggests refinement and luxury, with casual references to such places as "Palm Beach" and the "Ritz". There is a Cinderella theme, while youth and the breaking away of youth is the strengtia of the plot. This work is the nearest approach in America to high comedy or a comedy of manners, and here Mrr Barry closely resembles" Frederick Lonsdale, the English satirist. Through witty and brilliant dialogue he satirizes the stodgy elder brother who is a. man of measured merriment, very conventional, important in his own eyes, and a big business figure. . f ' The two leading roles are strong. "The Youngest", a modern youth, is equaled in importance by the heroine, a sophisticated college girl. • —^o—,—: On Friday noon of the last week of the winter quarter, the kitchen crew gave a warm send-off to Oscar Wellman,and..Don Stickney in their own inimitable way. Don had been there eleven quarters, while Oscar had been there two. New members will be: Art Gravrock, Bill Osborne, and Alden Blankenship. BOARD TO CONSIDER MEN'S CLUB ROOM New Board Members to Assume Duties Immediately Following Election Coming Friday. Work started off easy for the Board of Control this quarter, at their meeting last Monday afternoon. Some.of these Board members terminated their tenure of office with the close of last quarter, but owing to the fact that their successors have not been elected, they will continue to carry on the work for a few days. The committee that has been inquiring into the possibilities of securing a men's -loungng room, reported that at the present time there is no room available. However, the committee will continue to look for a way to solve the situation, and if possible find a "home for the wandering men". The bill for the recent Board banquet was submitted arid approved, the amount of the bill being $31.25. In last Tuesday's assembly :" an amendment was submitted to the students and was carried. It was an addition to article three, section four, of the Constitution of the Students' Association, and was worded, "that during his term of office each student member of the Board of Control must carry at least twelve credit hours of work".. - o . . H. E. Fowler and Dr. Harry Masters are working on the Uniform English test which is an improvement and revision of the achievement test in English used here now. The new test will be used in Washington, Montana, Idaho, and Oregon. OLIVE EDENS . Surely it cannot be that nevermore Thy longing eyes will quest this sapphire sea If thy dear ship may hot sail home to thee With precious freight from some far pearly shore; That nevermore on summer nights wilt thou Move thro thy shadowy trees with quiet feet And dream enraptured dreams, and find them sweet— While stars set diadems upon thy brow. From that dim land of which We of t had speech Come back, dear girl, and breathe a word of cheer To guide our faltering hearts unto the end; Lift high a candle-light'whose rays will reach- Across the dark and make our pathways clear . . . Hold fast our hands and still—still—be pur friend. . ^- ••••••. ELLA HIGGINSON. APPOINTMENT BUREAU ACTIVE IN SECURING v JOBS FOR TEACHERS A number of appointments have recently been made by Miss Elizabeth Hopper of the Appointment bureau. •'. Those who have secured positions are Kenneth Owen, who is teaching in the Fair view school at Tillamook, Oregon; Leonard Rod-land, fifth grade, Friday Harbor; Claude Taylor, who is teaching the seventh and eighth grades and is also principal of the school at Lake-wood; Hattie B. Dye, grades 1 to 4, Yale; Ruth I. Wall, first grade, Longview; Bessie Huntamer, rural school, Withrpw; Ruth P. Anderson, grades 4, 5, and 6, Valdez, Alaska; Helen Amunds, rural school in Klickitat County; and Frances Amunds who has been, re-elected as teacher of the first and second grades in Centerville, Washington. . o RED ARROW EDITOR URGES STUDENTS TO CONTRIBUTE STORIES Poems and Short Stories Will Be Accepted Until End of Month; Publication Shows Promise. PRIZES TO BE OFFERED The necessary plans for the starting of the work on the Red Arrow have been completed. There are several that are working on stories, but more copy is needed for the editorial staff to select from. Heretofore, the publication has been filled with work done mostly by the members of the Scribes club. The work toward the coming edition though, was started by the members of the journalism classes and not by the Scribes club. That club is inactive at the present, and the journalistic students feel that as there is an overload of clubs in school anyway, little will be done toward organizing one. Thus the work on the Arrow will be done by students at random throughput the school, and among many of the graduates. Those that contribute will be loosely formed into a group at the time of the actual' publishing of the booklet, and these workers will hold a party. The Red Arrow has made money in the pastf and is in good financial condition for the staging of such a party to compensate those for their contributions. The editor, Bob Walters, is urging the students of the school to try their hand at writing poetry, or short stories of the humorous and serious types. The dead line has been-set for the end of the month, but. the staff would like to get hold of some work the first of next week. There is a prize being offered for a feature story that is based on some fact or historical incident connected with Normal school. This story may be colored up considerably or even partly fiction. Facts for such an article could be obtained from old publications or from some of the senior faculty members. This story will be used as the main feature of the book: —= ; O-Inland Empire Meet to Start Wednesday' L BE SELECTED AT NEffi Fl Election Excitement Increasing as: Petitions Bring Out Candidates.' Some May Withdraw From Race> *£M M FLOOR NOMINATIONS NEXT Student Officers Must Now Carry Twelve Hours Work to Qualify for Any Student Association Job. Young, but growing clouds of excitement are slowly collecting and settling down among the students, clouds that have taken a long time to form, but ones that will thicken rapidly in the next week, as the v time for student election draws neari The regulations and plans for the election were announced in last Tuesday's assembly and again this J morning by the retiring president, Lyle Summers. Petitions for the students to nominate their candidate were posted about the school on Wednesday. Nominations from the floor of the assembly will be made during the Tuesday meeting, and according to-present plans the voting by ballot will take place on Friday. There' are three offices to be filled; that of president of the S t u dent's Association, vice president, and four-quarter representatives to the Board of Control. Lyle Summers, Ethel Boynton, and Clarence Thue are the retiring officers. One-half of the grades of the president 'must average at least "B": To be eligible for: any of the three positions a student' must have had two quarters of resident work here at Bellingham. -In the past some exciting elections have been held, elections that were featured with numerous soap box orations, banners, signs, bulletins, and all the things that tend to add plenty of zest to a school votr ing period. As soon as a few more candidates are nominated, and a more definite line on the situation is obtained, it is expected that the race will become quite heated. •—-°-—-—~ • SPRING REGISTRATION , COMPARATIVELY EASY Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week are set as the dates for the thirty-second annual session of the Inland Empire Education Association at Spokane. The meeting, which includes educators from the four Northwest states. of" Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, is to be the largest of its kind west of the Rocky Mountains. It- will be held at the Lewis and Clark high school. Bellingham will be represented at the cpnclave in the persons of Pres: C. H. Fisher, Mr. H. "E. Fowler, Dr. C. E. Upshall/br. Karry V. Masters and Professor James- Carrell. Dr. Upshall and Mr. Carrell both appear on the program" in addresses relative to their respective departments, and Dr. Masters has been asked to speak to the Inland Empire English Council. > .vm Registration for the spring quarter which occurred last Monday was a simple process as compared with former registration, for six hundred students had taken advantage of, the pre-registration period last quarter, apparently because of the one dollar late registration fee. Because so many had registered all but four of Monday's classes met at their - regular hours and absences for the' first day were counted. . Outside of the first preliminary steps and appointments with advisors' registration took place in the business office. Here students had their programs checked, filled out 7 the necessary cards, and had thehv rechecked,- and paid all fees and class dues. : O —' i CALENDAR TODAY— 4 p. m:, Rec Hour. 8:30 p. m., W. A.

TO BE TRULY INFORMAL "The Giant's Stair', a one-act islay by Wilbur Daniel Steele, crammed with suspense and surprises, will be given in next Friday's assembly by the Normal class in play production, Speech 103. Rehearsal of the play was directed by Helen Sullivan, under the supervision of Victor H. Hoppe. • The story of the play is set in the mountains of North Carolina, among the simple, uneducated mountain people. The action occurs on the night of a mountain storm, with all its fury of wind and rain. The plot is filled with thrills, and' stresses heavily the elements of emotion and suspense. The four characters of the play are Mrs. Wetherburn, played by Mary MacDonald; Till, her sister, played by Virginia Turner; Sheriff Vane, played by Queritin Quick; and Kantpole, the county prosecuting attorney, played by Hugh Lovegren. —o FORMER S T U D E N T HELD BY' CHINESE BANDITS Nina Eleanor Gemmell, whom the papers reported tins weex as Having been captured by Cnmese bandits, together with Mr. and Mrs..R. W. Porteous, was formerly of this school, having graduated in. 1918.. Miss Gemmell has been doing missionary work in China under the China Inland Mission as principal of the Yuanchow mission school for girls: Reports indicate ^that Miss Gemmell is in a serious predicament as these same bandits have been doing... some ruthless slaughtering and robbing in several provinces of South China on the Yangtse'river. . |n m | ,„ ,- nn „», I There are a few tickets for t f tonight's dance, left over. Stu- f i dents may buy them on the s I main landing this afternoon 1 I for 75c a couple. Hurry! Hur- j j ry! Hurry! I With a huge, gay colored rainbow ruling over the night, the W. A. A. girls will sponsor their first annual dance in the big gym this evening, with the "Rec" orchestra furnishing the music. An April Showers idea, will be. carried throughout the informal affair with programs and decorations emphasizing the scheme. Purple streamers floating down, will give an effect of Spring rains, and the rainbow at one corner will contribute its color to the decorations. Perhaps, if one comes with the thoughts of a good time at hand, the pot of gold may be found near the end of the rainbow. Programs Effective Brilliant purple programs lettered in gold will hold the names of partners for the dance. They will be designed to carry out the general motif of the decorations. The dance, begins at 8:30. Programs will be given out upon arrival and made out accordingly. Fifteen dances and an extra will make out the usual list and intermission coming between the eighth and ninth dance. Ann Swanson is in charge of the dance, assisted by members from the'W. A. A. Sports Clothes Reign Men and women will wear sports clothes; preferably skirts and .blouses for the women and cords and bright sweaters for the men. This makes the dance more informal, will add color, and truly carries out a sports dance. There has been a request made that attendants plan to be there on time, a more successful dance will be carried out and better time can be had by the sport-dancers. o :— Ford Is Given Office at Pullman Meeting Sam Ford returned last week from a trip to Pullman, where he attended the annual College Bookstore Association convention at. which bookstores from all the leading colleges,, were represented.

Miss Edens was granted a leave of absence for the year 1928-29 to take a.trip around the world. While in Europe, she felt the need for more time for her journey, and, at her request, her leave of absence was extended for the year 1929-30. She.returned to New York City last fall. Upon her return to the United States, she underwent two major operations, from which she suffered a relapse. Because of her rare ability as a teacher, her passing is a great loss to the teaching profession as well as to the school, which she so successfully served since 1910. Fisher Pays Tribute President C. H. Fisher, when interviewed, paid a fine tribute to Miss Edens: "Miss Olive Edens was an outstanding personality and her teaching was just as outstanding as her personality. She had been inseparably identified with the life and spirit of the Bellingham State Normal School for the past twenty years. Her personality and teaching have made a lasting contribution to the character of this school. The Bellingham State Normal School always will be indebted to her for qualities of mind and heart which will permanently endure in the life and work of this institution. Both students, and members of the faculty recognized her unusual ability to stimulate intellectual interests and to appeal to the highest ideals of individual conduct and human relationships. Life Adventurous "To Miss Edens, life was a great adventure and each experience added new meaning and significance to OLIVE EDENS life. She did not allow her life to be limited and circumscribed by formula and creed. She was one of those rare individuals who are not afraid to let their thinking and experience lead to new truths. Being (Continued oi Page Four) THURSDAY DAY SET FOR PLAY TRYOUTS Cast to be Chosen from Those in Club and Others Interested. Director Urges Large Turnout. Tryouts for the " spring quarter Drama club play will be held next Thursday night, April 10, from 3 to 5 in room 308. Members of the club and those students who are very much interested in dramatics are eligible to turn out. Mr. Hoppe, director, has announced that the play selected is Philip Barry's "The Youngest". The play is a characteristic American comedy of the upper middle ,class and suggests refinement and luxury, with casual references to such places as "Palm Beach" and the "Ritz". There is a Cinderella theme, while youth and the breaking away of youth is the strengtia of the plot. This work is the nearest approach in America to high comedy or a comedy of manners, and here Mrr Barry closely resembles" Frederick Lonsdale, the English satirist. Through witty and brilliant dialogue he satirizes the stodgy elder brother who is a. man of measured merriment, very conventional, important in his own eyes, and a big business figure. . f ' The two leading roles are strong. "The Youngest", a modern youth, is equaled in importance by the heroine, a sophisticated college girl. • —^o—,—: On Friday noon of the last week of the winter quarter, the kitchen crew gave a warm send-off to Oscar Wellman,and..Don Stickney in their own inimitable way. Don had been there eleven quarters, while Oscar had been there two. New members will be: Art Gravrock, Bill Osborne, and Alden Blankenship. BOARD TO CONSIDER MEN'S CLUB ROOM New Board Members to Assume Duties Immediately Following Election Coming Friday. Work started off easy for the Board of Control this quarter, at their meeting last Monday afternoon. Some.of these Board members terminated their tenure of office with the close of last quarter, but owing to the fact that their successors have not been elected, they will continue to carry on the work for a few days. The committee that has been inquiring into the possibilities of securing a men's -loungng room, reported that at the present time there is no room available. However, the committee will continue to look for a way to solve the situation, and if possible find a "home for the wandering men". The bill for the recent Board banquet was submitted arid approved, the amount of the bill being $31.25. In last Tuesday's assembly :" an amendment was submitted to the students and was carried. It was an addition to article three, section four, of the Constitution of the Students' Association, and was worded, "that during his term of office each student member of the Board of Control must carry at least twelve credit hours of work".. - o . . H. E. Fowler and Dr. Harry Masters are working on the Uniform English test which is an improvement and revision of the achievement test in English used here now. The new test will be used in Washington, Montana, Idaho, and Oregon. OLIVE EDENS . Surely it cannot be that nevermore Thy longing eyes will quest this sapphire sea If thy dear ship may hot sail home to thee With precious freight from some far pearly shore; That nevermore on summer nights wilt thou Move thro thy shadowy trees with quiet feet And dream enraptured dreams, and find them sweet— While stars set diadems upon thy brow. From that dim land of which We of t had speech Come back, dear girl, and breathe a word of cheer To guide our faltering hearts unto the end; Lift high a candle-light'whose rays will reach- Across the dark and make our pathways clear . . . Hold fast our hands and still—still—be pur friend. . ^- ••••••. ELLA HIGGINSON.

PRIZES TO BE OFFERED The necessary plans for the starting of the work on the Red Arrow have been completed. There are several that are working on stories, but more copy is needed for the editorial staff to select from. Heretofore, the publication has been filled with work done mostly by the members of the Scribes club. The work toward the coming edition though, was started by the members of the journalism classes and not by the Scribes club. That club is inactive at the present, and the journalistic students feel that as there is an overload of clubs in school anyway, little will be done toward organizing one. Thus the work on the Arrow will be done by students at random throughput the school, and among many of the graduates. Those that contribute will be loosely formed into a group at the time of the actual' publishing of the booklet, and these workers will hold a party. The Red Arrow has made money in the pastf and is in good financial condition for the staging of such a party to compensate those for their contributions. The editor, Bob Walters, is urging the students of the school to try their hand at writing poetry, or short stories of the humorous and serious types. The dead line has been-set for the end of the month, but. the staff would like to get hold of some work the first of next week. There is a prize being offered for a feature story that is based on some fact or historical incident connected with Normal school. This story may be colored up considerably or even partly fiction. Facts for such an article could be obtained from old publications or from some of the senior faculty members. This story will be used as the main feature of the book: —= ; O-Inland Empire Meet to Start Wednesday' L BE SELECTED AT NEffi Fl Election Excitement Increasing as: Petitions Bring Out Candidates.' Some May Withdraw From Race> *£M M FLOOR NOMINATIONS NEXT Student Officers Must Now Carry Twelve Hours Work to Qualify for Any Student Association Job. Young, but growing clouds of excitement are slowly collecting and settling down among the students, clouds that have taken a long time to form, but ones that will thicken rapidly in the next week, as the v time for student election draws neari The regulations and plans for the election were announced in last Tuesday's assembly and again this J morning by the retiring president, Lyle Summers. Petitions for the students to nominate their candidate were posted about the school on Wednesday. Nominations from the floor of the assembly will be made during the Tuesday meeting, and according to-present plans the voting by ballot will take place on Friday. There' are three offices to be filled; that of president of the S t u dent's Association, vice president, and four-quarter representatives to the Board of Control. Lyle Summers, Ethel Boynton, and Clarence Thue are the retiring officers. One-half of the grades of the president 'must average at least "B": To be eligible for: any of the three positions a student' must have had two quarters of resident work here at Bellingham. -In the past some exciting elections have been held, elections that were featured with numerous soap box orations, banners, signs, bulletins, and all the things that tend to add plenty of zest to a school votr ing period. As soon as a few more candidates are nominated, and a more definite line on the situation is obtained, it is expected that the race will become quite heated. •—-°-—-—~ • SPRING REGISTRATION , COMPARATIVELY EASY Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week are set as the dates for the thirty-second annual session of the Inland Empire Education Association at Spokane. The meeting, which includes educators from the four Northwest states. of" Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, is to be the largest of its kind west of the Rocky Mountains. It- will be held at the Lewis and Clark high school. Bellingham will be represented at the cpnclave in the persons of Pres: C. H. Fisher, Mr. H. "E. Fowler, Dr. C. E. Upshall/br. Karry V. Masters and Professor James- Carrell. Dr. Upshall and Mr. Carrell both appear on the program" in addresses relative to their respective departments, and Dr. Masters has been asked to speak to the Inland Empire English Council. > .vm Registration for the spring quarter which occurred last Monday was a simple process as compared with former registration, for six hundred students had taken advantage of, the pre-registration period last quarter, apparently because of the one dollar late registration fee. Because so many had registered all but four of Monday's classes met at their - regular hours and absences for the' first day were counted. . Outside of the first preliminary steps and appointments with advisors' registration took place in the business office. Here students had their programs checked, filled out 7 the necessary cards, and had thehv rechecked,- and paid all fees and class dues. : O —' i CALENDAR TODAY— 4 p. m:, Rec Hour. 8:30 p. m., W. A.
