Wgm TO 'BE''HELD.:::TOESD^p^^ VOL. XXDC-^NO. 38 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, April 18, \930j - * SCHOOL DEBTS CIRCUMFERENCE EDUCATION and HAPPINESS | AND YE DIARY J I —Bob Walters President Will Take . Part In .Conference At Madison, Wisconsin Hats off to various school offi-cials, both student and otherwise, who in the last year have considerably changed the debt situation. Several of the departments have "been taken "out of the fire and into the kettle", while other debts have been materially reduced. —W. S. N. S.——r And not to show any partiality, - but everyone likes to ..brag about that which is closest to "home", we compliment our present Business Manager. In a little longer than three quarters, he has changed the thousand and some odd dollar debt t o three hundred and forty-two dollars on the other side of the ledger. W. S. N. S. Quite often outsiders play on the local tennis courts. As long as there is room, no harm is done, but Normal students waiting to get on have a perfect right to ask any others to ..^vacate immediately. W. S. N. S. Dr. Harry V. Masters, of the Research Department, while doing graduate work at Iowa, worked with another person on a spelling project... They., found., approximately 450,000,000 ways of spelling the word "circumference." Each iof these words it can be pronounced phonetically correct. Hence, there is no reason for misspelling that -word .from now on. W. S. N. S. — We just finished browsing through .an interesting pamphlet entitled "What the Colleges Are Doing'... It i s published by Ginn and Company, and contains various articles on college, picked at random. Two were particularly interesting to us. W. S. N. S. The first told of the writer having •over a thousand acquaintances. Out of these a dozen were happy, and over half of the happy ones had Jiever gone as far as high school. In , other words, education to him does not bring happiness. —W. S. N. S. The other gave "Ten Marks of an Educated Man", as follows: He keeps his mind open on all questions until the evidence is in. He listens to the man he knows. He never laughs at new iedas. He cross-examines his day-dreams. He knows his strong point and plays it. He knows the value of good habits and how to form them. He knows when not to think and when to call in the expert to think for him. You can't sell him magic. He lives the forward, outward looking life. He cultivates a love of the beautiful. W. S. N. S . - . ' I n a letter published this week, an Easterner calls attention to the condition of our lawn and the absence of "Keep Off Grass" signs. We have heard from many sources that, although much is said regarding the negligence of Normalites, still the walking on the grass is comparatively minus. •— o- NEW CASH1 SYSTEM PROVES SUCCESSFUL The new ruling at the cafeteria which bans charge accounts has proven a success. Beginning Monday, the first day of the spring quarter, the system of "cash only" was established. This was found necessary because of the time expended in keeping books for the many small amounts charged. Miss Countryman reports that there has been no decrease in the number of students lunching at the cafeteria, and that .not one has asked for a charge since the ruling, went into effect. She considers this a commendable attitude of co-operation on the part of • the student ••.body..-. .,'"•."' -.:',';•-iThe. staff of the cafeteria workers 'will remain the same%as last quarter, with the addition of Virginia i^Black;: who is takmgCthe place of ^Eiose ;Baskett. Pres. C. H. Fisher left for the East this week to take part in a conference of the faculties of the Wisconsin State Teachers College. This conference will be held at Madison, Wisconsin, on April 21 and 22. Thisf conference is held once in two years and includes all the teachers of the ten teacher-training institutions in the state. President Fisher will meet with the presidents of the teachers' colleges for a discussion of administrative problems. He will also meet with librarians on the functions of a library in teacher training institutions. At the general session of all the members of the conference, President Fisher is on the program to discuss the subject: "The Reconstruction of Curricula in Teacher Training Institutions with a Generous Provision for a Liberal Education, Especially in the Early Years." o _ F, MEN'S ORGANIZATION IN OBTAINING ROOM Club Room Becomes a Reality By Faculty's Unanimous Vote At Tuesday's Special Meeting. FURNITURE INCLUDED Formal Dedication To Take Place Monday, at 13:30, Dean Marquis Acting As Master of Ceremonies. SEATTLE MUSICIANS TO PLAY TUESDAY DURING ASSEMBLY Alice Williams Sherman, Elizabeth Reeves, and Hazel Hammer Hill Members of Widely-Known Trio. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Tuesday morning, April 22, the regular assembly hour will be devoted to a musical program by the Musical Artist Trio of Seattle. This trio is composed of well known musicians who have received nationwide recognition for their ability as ensemble artists. Alice Williams Sherman, violinist, is a favorite with audiences wherever she appears. Elizabeth Reeves, .violoncellist, is an artist pupil of George Kirschner, Hazel Hammer Hill, pianist, is widely , known throughout the Northwest as a pianist and teacher. The trio comes highly recommended, and as their repertoire includes selections from the classics and the modern composers, as well as shorter compositions, the program should please the entire audience. No longer will the men of the school have to wander around like the man without a country, nor will they have to be bothered with women listening in on their conversations, nor will they have to lean against the walls or hit for one of the nearby lunch abodes for privacy, for they now have a room all their own. After seeking a room since early last quarter, the Men's Club sent a committeee to confer with President Fisher in regards to getting a room. At last Tuesday's Faculty meeting President Fisher brought up the question. It was decided that the Faculty room just across from the registrar's office, or otherwise designated as Room 112, should be given to the men. On Tuesday of next week at 12:30, there will be held in the main hall, the dedication ceremonies of the Club Room. Dean Marquis will be the speaker of the hour and music v/ill be furnished by the Pep Club band. All students are invited to attend. "As this is an event of the hour for the men," Charles Dewey, president of the Men's Club, says, "I wish to extend to those who made this possible, the gratitude and co-operation of the men's organization." LEAGUE ELECTION HELD THIS MORNING Interest in Election Slow to Develop, Gained Momentum As Time for Balloting Arrived. Thirty-Eight Students Feel Committee's Axe Thirty-eight students felt a pang of regret this week as the sharp' axe of the Attendance Committee cut deeply into their meagre store of credits. Thirty-one unfortunates were cut one credit; six were cut two credits, and one poor student lost three hours when his record came under the^committee's blade. These people were held victims of their own conduct and were punished by the law of the school which might to be said to state, "For fifteen absences from all classes the credit supply of a student will have sliced from it one- hour of credit, etc." According to committee mem-4 bers, the guillotine will be rolled out and set up again next quarter. -—:—•—o- —" MAD AUTO RUNS WILD; DENTS TEACHER'S CAR A little excitement was added to the atmosphere last Sunday evening when a restless Dodge car, belonging to a James Moody, and anchored i n f front o f Ragan Hall, slipped from its moorings and aimlessly drifted down the hill. It struck a reef in the form of Miss Karigley's Star car, which was at the time parked in front of Buss-ing's. Both cars were damaged, Miss Kangley's car getting the worse treatment. As both of the cars were unoccupied, no one was hurt. The accident called to mind the well-remembered one of several years back when Milton Field, a Normal student; was permanently injured by a runaway auto. Both of the accidents occurred in the same locality.;'..;' , \ V "';/;-; >;••;:? [• ;,!;': WOMEN'S LEAGUE ELECTION The Women's League election, which was to be held this morning has excited interest among the girls of the school, during the latter part of the week, although the nominations were slow in being made. Those whose names were certain of appearing on the ballots were Jenny Berg, nominated for president; Louise Smith and Lovia Wei-ger, for vice-president; Aileen Hurl-burt and Marion Marchand for secretary, and Esther Nordquist for treasurer. o_ ' DEBATE SCHEDULED Lyle Summers and Ray Craft will meet the University of Washington freshman debate team in an exhibition debate before Everett High school on April 25. They will uphold the affirmative and use the cross-question type, in which a speaker from each side cross-examines a speaker of the other side. o CALENDAR TODAY— 4 p. m., Rec Hour.

CRYSTAL BALLROOM CHOSEN AS SETTING FOR LEAGUE DANCE Saturday, May Third, Date Set for Women's League Outside Dance; Tickets Limited to 110. PROGRAMS DELIGHTFUL VERY CLOSE RAGE Morning Assembly Scene of Big Student Body Election; Choosing Of President Largest Attraction. THREE OFFICES FILLED Presidential Nominees Are Quick, Gerold, Bell and Summers—Girls Contest Vice-President's Chair. /? RARE SCARECROW FOR JAYWALKERS A scientific expedition composed presumably of Normal students, left the campus early Tuesday evening in search of a rare specimen of 'bird. They, with the aid of a little salt, were able to cage this strange animal. It falls under the owl classification, but is white in color.' The personnel of the.expedition realize the policing qualities of this strange winged object, and likewise realized the trouble the grounds committee is having with "jaywalkers." Consequently, they turned it loose on the lawn between Edens Hall and the Administration Building. The date of the Women's League dance for outside girls has been set for Saturday evening, May 3. It will be held in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Leopold. According to Dorothy Sasse, general chairman of the committee in charge, the affair is not to be termed an informal, as it is usual, nor a formal, but mere the "Women's League outside dance." Tickets On Sale • No particular idea will be carried out in the decorations, as on former occasions, but" the programs will be in surprise form and unique in design. Tickets for the dance went on sale yesterday at $1.25 a couple. As there are only 110 tickets to be sold it is wise to get them early. They may be purchased at the Dean of Womr en's office only: Any girl who has bought a ticket and wishes to return it may do so.. Her money will be refunded if the ticket is sold again. Special "pers" for outside girls will last over until 12:30. A new arrangement of dances will be used on the program the schedule being posted on the Women's League bulletin board. Sasse In Charge Assisting Miss Sasse on the committees are Aileen Hurlbert, Edna Larkin, Lovia Weiger, Dorothy Woods, Suzanne Waters, Ruth Shepherd, Jennie Berg and Lois Smith. _ :—_o FORTY-FIVE DROPPED; TWENTY READMITTED Everyone gets curious when he is extremely interested in a subject— especially when there is suspense attached to it—so this afternoon we will have a curious student body. "All's over but the counting," and, likewise "all is over but the shouting." The vote for students officers was taken in this morning's assembly, and now we have a curious group of future teachers, eager ta get the Ireturns, and continually questioning their neighbor as to the results. The prospective candidate who is to fill the Presidential chair is the magnet drawing the majority of attention. This part of the election resolved itself into a queer race. At the time that nominations were being made many students felt that Lyle Summers was ineligible to succeed himself. Several nominations were made before Summers was named to succeed himself, and a new aspect of the situation became "apparent. Adding suspense to the election Prexy Summers failed to give out information in advance concerning his intentions, and at press time popular opinion seemed to be pretty much up in the air. The names which were to go on this morning's ballot for president were: Charles Quick, Charles Gerold, Curtis Bell, and Lyle Summers; vice-president, M a r y McDonald, Chloris Fischer, and Basil Ames, and for four-quarter representative, Arthur Gravrock, William Kendrick, and Earl Hutchins. Many Appointments Secured By Bureau During Past Week Forty-five students were originally dropped from school this quarter because of low grades, but the Scholarship Committee later readmitted twenty of these on probation. Of the forty-five dropped, thirty-four were dropped under Rule; 3 which concerns those having more than one-half of their credits D oyer a period of two quarters or more. Five were dropped under Rule 2, concerning those who fail in five or more credits involving at least two subjects. Six were dropped under both Rules 2 arid 3. LETTERS AWARDED ATW.A.A.JEETIN Four Girls Are Given Sweaters Won By Participation In Sports; Trip Planned to Viqueen Lodge. A meeting of the Women's Athletic Association was called to order in Room 119 by President Ruth Sammons, last Friday noon. At the meeting, play day to be held at the University of Washington, May 3, and the Viqueen lodge trip planned for April 17, were discussed. W. A. A. insignia were given out .to Phyllis Bresnan, Margaret Jacob, Marion Marchand, Margaret Miller, Vera Waham, Hope Whitenock. The letter "B" was given to Phyllis Bresnan, Helen Williams, Ray Ben-dixon, Olivene Bewley, Irene Marz, Gay Smith, Kitty Zeran, and Adri-anna Vander Griend. Class numerals were awarded to Louisette Bergeron, Marjorie Coventon, Bernice Johnson, Helen McNeil, and Ruth Sammons for this quarter. Numerals were also given to Joyce Arnold, Ann Swanson, and Alice Babcock for last quarter's work. Louisette Bergeron,,Bernice John^ son, Helen McNeil, and Adrian Vander Griend are the new wearers of "W" sweaters. • ' • : 0 : '• . - t ,CLUB GIRLS WILL SING AT EASTER SERVICE Miss Elizabeth Hopper of the Appointment Bureau has made a number of appointments during the past week. Virginia Black has secured the Skagit Heights school; Ruth Shepherd is to teach at Cheneyville, Oregon; and Dorothy Haitzell has .the third and fourth grades at Monroe. Dean Edmundson and Bernard Chichester have both been re-elected to the positions they have been holding at Foster. Mr. Edmundson teaches industrial arts and Mr. Chichester is associated with the English department. Esther Daw has accepted a position in Odessa and Olive Goldman will teach in Mason County. Three people have been elected to positions in Stevenson. They are Gladys A. Smith, sixth and seventh grades; Ethel Paul, primary grades, and Peggy Pullar, primary grades. WEDNESDAY NIGHT Bellingham Artists to Appear for;;••> Third Recital of Season at 8:15%; In Normal Auditorium. its STUDENTS TICKETS ADMIT Selected Program Is Offered Including Works of Composers of Both Old and New Regime. PLAY SELECTED BY DRAMA CLUB DEALS WITH SOCIAL CODE Philip Barry's Plays Approach High Comedy and Deal With Cultured People, Money, Wealth, and Ease. In observance of Easter, a chorus from the MacDowell club will sing at the' Congregational Church, Swir day morning. The number they will present is "For God So Loved the World", f r o m ' t h e cantata, "The Crucifixion", by Stainer; i Also, a trio, composed of Frances Young, Peggy Puller, and Dbrbthy Reese, ^ 1 stag!"''Sing 6 ^ High comedies satirizing social conventions is characteristic of the work of Philip Barry, whose play, "The Youngest," will be given by the Drama Club, May 22 and 23. Generally speaking, Barry's work tells of cultured people, money, wealth, and ease. He deals with some serious problem, but presents it gracefully-and humorously^ while at the same time giving you a picture of real American people and social American life. ' "Paris Bound," as an example of subject matter, is one of his recent works which gives a new point of view on marriage and divorce, taking issue with conventional grounds for divorce. In "You and I" he shows the difficulty of trying to maintain one's youthful dreams and ambitions after taking on the responsibility of marriage and the trials-of making a living. A man's early dream and life ambition ,of becoming a great painter ridiculously develops into his becoming an illustrator for the advertising of a soap manufacturing company.. Reverses Adage "Holidays," another of his comedies; was produced by the Henry Duffy Players this last year and now the Drama Club is asking permission to do it here at some future time. The old adage, "make hay while the sun shines," is completely reversed in this story. You should have a good time while you are young, take your vacation then, and when you are too old to enjoy life, only then go into business and work. This play is even nearer than "The Youngest" in its approach to genuine high comedy. . o The third concert of the Bellingham Little Symphony will be held in the Normal Auditorium next Wednesday, April 23. Tickets will be on sale to the public for seventy-five cents while Normal students; will be admitted on their activity tickets. The program opens with Wag- •;; ner's popular overture to the opera Rienzi. This is the first important opera Wagner wrote and, though it was written along conventional; lines, the use of the brass instruments is characteristic of the later and more mature Wagner. I t begins with a trumpet call sounding very softly, gradually increasing, and then dying away. This is foUowed by a slow, smooth flowing melody on the strings, later taken up by t he wind instruments, and followed by a quick section which is worked into a wonderful climax, bringing this famous overture to a close. The second number is the Ballet- Suite from the operas of Gluck, compiled by and arranged for sym- ; phony orchestras by the famous German conductor, Felix Motl. The suite consists of four dances from three of Gluck's best known and most successful operas. All -the; numbers are of graceful pattern and ; their melodic charm and classic; simplicity stamp them as represen- (Coatiaued on P«ge Four) BOARD HEARS BIDS KLIPSUN CONTRACT Two Bids for Printing Presented At Board of Control Meeting; .Board Favors Sunday Tennis. SPRING MADNESS ENDS IN DISASTER One sweet young co-ed left the Viking office the other day with the departing words, "Good-bye Jack". However, it was'our Gordy that satteth there, and not Jack. . . . He sprang from his desk intent on catching the fair maiden; but, alas, one1 of his lower extremities became entangled in the legs of the chair, the 'Swinging door came shut against'his out-stretched hand, and with a ping! the door window acquired ventilation facilities. The nurse attended to the gash,; and the somewhat quieted hero - realized that ;"the guy 'who classified women and money"as^grief" was correct. The members of last quarter's Board of Control met again this week, due to the fact that the: new; members have not been elected. Two contracts were presented for the printing of The Klipsun. With several clauses, the Union Printing Company's bid of $941.50 was the lowest, while Miller & Sutherlen, Printers, figured 1,005 dollars for the jc*. Neither bid called for the printing of the covers. On March 1, 1930, the financial condition of activities stood as follows: .. ... * Athletics (gain) $ 298.78 Viking (gain) 342.41 Social life (deficit) ,63.02 (deficit) •M15XW- ~- The Board plans of cutting down these deficits during the-- summer; quarters, as has been che custom.

Part In .Conference At Madison, Wisconsin Hats off to various school offi-cials, both student and otherwise, who in the last year have considerably changed the debt situation. Several of the departments have "been taken "out of the fire and into the kettle", while other debts have been materially reduced. —W. S. N. S.——r And not to show any partiality, - but everyone likes to ..brag about that which is closest to "home", we compliment our present Business Manager. In a little longer than three quarters, he has changed the thousand and some odd dollar debt t o three hundred and forty-two dollars on the other side of the ledger. W. S. N. S. Quite often outsiders play on the local tennis courts. As long as there is room, no harm is done, but Normal students waiting to get on have a perfect right to ask any others to ..^vacate immediately. W. S. N. S. Dr. Harry V. Masters, of the Research Department, while doing graduate work at Iowa, worked with another person on a spelling project... They., found., approximately 450,000,000 ways of spelling the word "circumference." Each iof these words it can be pronounced phonetically correct. Hence, there is no reason for misspelling that -word .from now on. W. S. N. S. — We just finished browsing through .an interesting pamphlet entitled "What the Colleges Are Doing'... It i s published by Ginn and Company, and contains various articles on college, picked at random. Two were particularly interesting to us. W. S. N. S. The first told of the writer having •over a thousand acquaintances. Out of these a dozen were happy, and over half of the happy ones had Jiever gone as far as high school. In , other words, education to him does not bring happiness. —W. S. N. S. The other gave "Ten Marks of an Educated Man", as follows: He keeps his mind open on all questions until the evidence is in.

We have heard from many sources that, although much is said regarding the negligence of Normalites, still the walking on the grass is comparatively minus. •— o- NEW CASH1 SYSTEM PROVES SUCCESSFUL The new ruling at the cafeteria which bans charge accounts has proven a success. Beginning Monday, the first day of the spring quarter, the system of "cash only" was established. This was found necessary because of the time expended in keeping books for the many small amounts charged. Miss Countryman reports that there has been no decrease in the number of students lunching at the cafeteria, and that .not one has asked for a charge since the ruling, went into effect. She considers this a commendable attitude of co-operation on the part of • the student ••.body..-. .,'"•."' -.:',';•-iThe. staff of the cafeteria workers 'will remain the same%as last quarter, with the addition of Virginia i^Black;: who is takmgCthe place of ^Eiose ;Baskett. Pres. C. H. Fisher left for the East this week to take part in a conference of the faculties of the Wisconsin State Teachers College. This conference will be held at Madison, Wisconsin, on April 21 and 22. Thisf conference is held once in two years and includes all the teachers of the ten teacher-training institutions in the state. President Fisher will meet with the presidents of the teachers' colleges for a discussion of administrative problems. He will also meet with librarians on the functions of a library in teacher training institutions. At the general session of all the members of the conference, President Fisher is on the program to discuss the subject: "The Reconstruction of Curricula in Teacher Training Institutions with a Generous Provision for a Liberal Education, Especially in the Early Years." o _ F, MEN'S ORGANIZATION IN OBTAINING ROOM Club Room Becomes a Reality By Faculty's Unanimous Vote At Tuesday's Special Meeting. FURNITURE INCLUDED Formal Dedication To Take Place Monday, at 13:30, Dean Marquis Acting As Master of Ceremonies. SEATTLE MUSICIANS TO PLAY TUESDAY DURING ASSEMBLY Alice Williams Sherman, Elizabeth Reeves, and Hazel Hammer Hill Members of Widely-Known Trio. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Tuesday morning, April 22, the regular assembly hour will be devoted to a musical program by the Musical Artist Trio of Seattle. This trio is composed of well known musicians who have received nationwide recognition for their ability as ensemble artists. Alice Williams Sherman, violinist, is a favorite with audiences wherever she appears. Elizabeth Reeves, .violoncellist, is an artist pupil of George Kirschner, Hazel Hammer Hill, pianist, is widely , known throughout the Northwest as a pianist and teacher. The trio comes highly recommended, and as their repertoire includes selections from the classics and the modern composers, as well as shorter compositions, the program should please the entire audience. No longer will the men of the school have to wander around like the man without a country, nor will they have to be bothered with women listening in on their conversations, nor will they have to lean against the walls or hit for one of the nearby lunch abodes for privacy, for they now have a room all their own. After seeking a room since early last quarter, the Men's Club sent a committeee to confer with President Fisher in regards to getting a room. At last Tuesday's Faculty meeting President Fisher brought up the question. It was decided that the Faculty room just across from the registrar's office, or otherwise designated as Room 112, should be given to the men. On Tuesday of next week at 12:30, there will be held in the main hall, the dedication ceremonies of the Club Room. Dean Marquis will be the speaker of the hour and music v/ill be furnished by the Pep Club band. All students are invited to attend. "As this is an event of the hour for the men," Charles Dewey, president of the Men's Club, says, "I wish to extend to those who made this possible, the gratitude and co-operation of the men's organization." LEAGUE ELECTION HELD THIS MORNING Interest in Election Slow to Develop, Gained Momentum As Time for Balloting Arrived. Thirty-Eight Students Feel Committee's Axe Thirty-eight students felt a pang of regret this week as the sharp' axe of the Attendance Committee cut deeply into their meagre store of credits. Thirty-one unfortunates were cut one credit; six were cut two credits, and one poor student lost three hours when his record came under the^committee's blade. These people were held victims of their own conduct and were punished by the law of the school which might to be said to state, "For fifteen absences from all classes the credit supply of a student will have sliced from it one- hour of credit, etc." According to committee mem-4 bers, the guillotine will be rolled out and set up again next quarter. -—:—•—o- —" MAD AUTO RUNS WILD; DENTS TEACHER'S CAR A little excitement was added to the atmosphere last Sunday evening when a restless Dodge car, belonging to a James Moody, and anchored i n f front o f Ragan Hall, slipped from its moorings and aimlessly drifted down the hill. It struck a reef in the form of Miss Karigley's Star car, which was at the time parked in front of Buss-ing's. Both cars were damaged, Miss Kangley's car getting the worse treatment. As both of the cars were unoccupied, no one was hurt. The accident called to mind the well-remembered one of several years back when Milton Field, a Normal student; was permanently injured by a runaway auto. Both of the accidents occurred in the same locality.;'..;' , \ V "';/;-; >;••;:? [• ;,!;': WOMEN'S LEAGUE ELECTION The Women's League election, which was to be held this morning has excited interest among the girls of the school, during the latter part of the week, although the nominations were slow in being made. Those whose names were certain of appearing on the ballots were Jenny Berg, nominated for president; Louise Smith and Lovia Wei-ger, for vice-president; Aileen Hurl-burt and Marion Marchand for secretary, and Esther Nordquist for treasurer. o_ ' DEBATE SCHEDULED Lyle Summers and Ray Craft will meet the University of Washington freshman debate team in an exhibition debate before Everett High school on April 25.

CRYSTAL BALLROOM CHOSEN AS SETTING FOR LEAGUE DANCE Saturday, May Third, Date Set for Women's League Outside Dance; Tickets Limited to 110.

THREE OFFICES FILLED Presidential Nominees Are Quick, Gerold, Bell and Summers—Girls Contest Vice-President's Chair. /? RARE SCARECROW FOR JAYWALKERS A scientific expedition composed presumably of Normal students, left the campus early Tuesday evening in search of a rare specimen of 'bird. They, with the aid of a little salt, were able to cage this strange animal. It falls under the owl classification, but is white in color.' The personnel of the.expedition realize the policing qualities of this strange winged object, and likewise realized the trouble the grounds committee is having with "jaywalkers." Consequently, they turned it loose on the lawn between Edens Hall and the Administration Building. The date of the Women's League dance for outside girls has been set for Saturday evening, May 3. It will be held in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Leopold. According to Dorothy Sasse, general chairman of the committee in charge, the affair is not to be termed an informal, as it is usual, nor a formal, but mere the "Women's League outside dance." Tickets On Sale • No particular idea will be carried out in the decorations, as on former occasions, but" the programs will be in surprise form and unique in design. Tickets for the dance went on sale yesterday at $1.25 a couple. As there are only 110 tickets to be sold it is wise to get them early. They may be purchased at the Dean of Womr en's office only: Any girl who has bought a ticket and wishes to return it may do so.. Her money will be refunded if the ticket is sold again. Special "pers" for outside girls will last over until 12:30. A new arrangement of dances will be used on the program the schedule being posted on the Women's League bulletin board. Sasse In Charge Assisting Miss Sasse on the committees are Aileen Hurlbert, Edna Larkin, Lovia Weiger, Dorothy Woods, Suzanne Waters, Ruth Shepherd, Jennie Berg and Lois Smith. _ :—_o FORTY-FIVE DROPPED; TWENTY READMITTED Everyone gets curious when he is extremely interested in a subject— especially when there is suspense attached to it—so this afternoon we will have a curious student body. "All's over but the counting," and, likewise "all is over but the shouting." The vote for students officers was taken in this morning's assembly, and now we have a curious group of future teachers, eager ta get the Ireturns, and continually questioning their neighbor as to the results. The prospective candidate who is to fill the Presidential chair is the magnet drawing the majority of attention. This part of the election resolved itself into a queer race. At the time that nominations were being made many students felt that Lyle Summers was ineligible to succeed himself. Several nominations were made before Summers was named to succeed himself, and a new aspect of the situation became "apparent. Adding suspense to the election Prexy Summers failed to give out information in advance concerning his intentions, and at press time popular opinion seemed to be pretty much up in the air. The names which were to go on this morning's ballot for president were: Charles Quick, Charles Gerold, Curtis Bell, and Lyle Summers; vice-president, M a r y McDonald, Chloris Fischer, and Basil Ames, and for four-quarter representative, Arthur Gravrock, William Kendrick, and Earl Hutchins. Many Appointments Secured By Bureau During Past Week Forty-five students were originally dropped from school this quarter because of low grades, but the Scholarship Committee later readmitted twenty of these on probation. Of the forty-five dropped, thirty-four were dropped under Rule; 3 which concerns those having more than one-half of their credits D oyer a period of two quarters or more. Five were dropped under Rule 2, concerning those who fail in five or more credits involving at least two subjects. Six were dropped under both Rules 2 arid 3.

Virginia Black has secured the Skagit Heights school; Ruth Shepherd is to teach at Cheneyville, Oregon; and Dorothy Haitzell has .the third and fourth grades at Monroe. Dean Edmundson and Bernard Chichester have both been re-elected to the positions they have been holding at Foster.

Three people have been elected to positions in Stevenson. They are Gladys A. Smith, sixth and seventh grades; Ethel Paul, primary grades, and Peggy Pullar, primary grades. WEDNESDAY NIGHT Bellingham Artists to Appear for;;••> Third Recital of Season at 8:15%; In Normal Auditorium. its STUDENTS TICKETS ADMIT Selected Program Is Offered Including Works of Composers of Both Old and New Regime. PLAY SELECTED BY DRAMA CLUB DEALS WITH SOCIAL CODE Philip Barry's Plays Approach High Comedy and Deal With Cultured People, Money, Wealth, and Ease. In observance of Easter, a chorus from the MacDowell club will sing at the' Congregational Church, Swir day morning. The number they will present is "For God So Loved the World", f r o m ' t h e cantata, "The Crucifixion", by Stainer; i Also, a trio, composed of Frances Young, Peggy Puller, and Dbrbthy Reese, ^ 1 stag!"''Sing 6 ^ High comedies satirizing social conventions is characteristic of the work of Philip Barry, whose play, "The Youngest," will be given by the Drama Club, May 22 and 23. Generally speaking, Barry's work tells of cultured people, money, wealth, and ease. He deals with some serious problem, but presents it gracefully-and humorously^ while at the same time giving you a picture of real American people and social American life. ' "Paris Bound," as an example of subject matter, is one of his recent works which gives a new point of view on marriage and divorce, taking issue with conventional grounds for divorce. In "You and I" he shows the difficulty of trying to maintain one's youthful dreams and ambitions after taking on the responsibility of marriage and the trials-of making a living. A man's early dream and life ambition ,of becoming a great painter ridiculously develops into his becoming an illustrator for the advertising of a soap manufacturing company.. Reverses Adage "Holidays," another of his comedies; was produced by the Henry Duffy Players this last year and now the Drama Club is asking permission to do it here at some future time. The old adage, "make hay while the sun shines," is completely reversed in this story. You should have a good time while you are young, take your vacation then, and when you are too old to enjoy life, only then go into business and work. This play is even nearer than "The Youngest" in its approach to genuine high comedy. . o The third concert of the Bellingham Little Symphony will be held in the Normal Auditorium next Wednesday, April 23. Tickets will be on sale to the public for seventy-five cents while Normal students; will be admitted on their activity tickets. The program opens with Wag- •;; ner's popular overture to the opera Rienzi. This is the first important opera Wagner wrote and, though it was written along conventional; lines, the use of the brass instruments is characteristic of the later and more mature Wagner. I t begins with a trumpet call sounding very softly, gradually increasing, and then dying away. This is foUowed by a slow, smooth flowing melody on the strings, later taken up by t he wind instruments, and followed by a quick section which is worked into a wonderful climax, bringing this famous overture to a close. The second number is the Ballet- Suite from the operas of Gluck, compiled by and arranged for sym- ; phony orchestras by the famous German conductor, Felix Motl. The suite consists of four dances from three of Gluck's best known and most successful operas. All -the; numbers are of graceful pattern and ; their melodic charm and classic; simplicity stamp them as represen- (Coatiaued on P«ge Four) BOARD HEARS BIDS KLIPSUN CONTRACT Two Bids for Printing Presented At Board of Control Meeting; .Board Favors Sunday Tennis. SPRING MADNESS ENDS IN DISASTER One sweet young co-ed left the Viking office the other day with the departing words, "Good-bye Jack". However, it was'our Gordy that satteth there, and not Jack. . . . He sprang from his desk intent on catching the fair maiden; but, alas, one1 of his lower extremities became entangled in the legs of the chair, the 'Swinging door came shut against'his out-stretched hand, and with a ping! the door window acquired ventilation facilities. The nurse attended to the gash,; and the somewhat quieted hero - realized that ;"the guy 'who classified women and money"as^grief" was correct. The members of last quarter's Board of Control met again this week, due to the fact that the: new; members have not been elected. Two contracts were presented for the printing of The Klipsun. With several clauses, the Union Printing Company's bid of $941.50 was the lowest, while Miller & Sutherlen, Printers, figured 1,005 dollars for the jc*. Neither bid called for the printing of the covers. On March 1, 1930, the financial condition of activities stood as follows: .. ... * Athletics (gain) $ 298.78 Viking (gain) 342.41 Social life (deficit) ,63.02 (deficit) •M15XW- ~- The Board plans of cutting down these deficits during the-- summer; quarters, as has been che custom.
