And the column what IS a column is being introduced again as "Nonnalite." ..Yep, for four lucious quarters have Nor-malites read, reread, swallowed, feared, and believed the precious journalistic dribble which is now before your eyes, and which, incidentally, flows so fluently from the pen of the writer. i You ask what happened at the INormal - by-the-Mountains-and-the- Sea during the summer session? Lots. First—nearly a thousand registered, then came a mixer, infor-onals, and the general recreation program. Secondly— the Vikings went down to the U. of W. and walked away with all athletic honors. Better still, when the big IT. came up here they did it again. These inter-school meets took in baseball .track, tennis, handball, and basketball. Next came all-school trips up Mt. Baker, and to Lake Samish. Wow! What good times we had. Topping off the summer 5 came the all-Normal field meet in which everybody from janitors to faculty participated and finally the Drama club production "K. U. R." (Rossum's' Universal Babots) won the praise and applause from the Viking audience. —W. S. N. S.— I n contrast with' the summer session the librarians will tell you how Jew use the library in t he fall quaur-ter. Believe it or not the reserve room during the summer was so overcrowded that the children's library - had to be used. Hundreds could be counted studying in the main reading room. —W. S. N. S.— Upper division students notice a great change, or rather a mixup, in offices of administration. W. S. N. S.— And to those new here it should be known that the sum of seventy dollars is to be set aside by t he Board of Control for t he best school song. A contest manager will be appointed sometime soon, and t he affair isv slated to close sometime during " t he early winter. Printed bulletins covering the details of t he all-school contest will be given all students soon. Contributions should combine the dignity and beauty of ""The White and Blue" and t he pep and rythm of "Alma Mater." Many contributions are already in, as this contest was inaugurated nearly a year ago. Several eminent people of the Bellingham musical world a r e contest judges. —W. S. N. S.— And now introducing Roy Sund-strom the successor to the present author of "Normalite" and t he summer "Normalette." Mr. Sundstrom is an old time journalist, with new ideas; brilliant too, he is at times possessing the rare quality of subtly. With such a send-off the new columnist ought to come through with some pretty fine stuff—wait 'til you read that story of his. He's been saving it for a week. —W. S. N.

Plan and Purpose This is the Third Annual Radio Audition for the development and reward of young singers throughout the nation. . . ^ Originated as an altruistic experiment in 1927, continued in 1928 because of popular demand, the wisdom of the Foundation's aim to discover the best young non-professional voices in the United States' and give to the singers an opportunity for further training, recognition, and reward has more than justified itself, and the Audition has become a national institution..

Bever and his staff expect to complete all fall quarter registration today. Starting last Monday at 8 a. m., first quarter Freshmen were enrolled at a ^station on the second floor by Mr. Harold B. Smith, chairman of the Music department, and several assistants, while in the big gymnasium, Mr. E. A. Bond, of t he Mathematics department, with a corp of helpers, dispatched the task of registering other students. More Efficient The work of registration was greatly expedited by the new plan of locating all the stations as close-together as possible so as to do away with all unnecessary confusion and disorder. The plan was originally Mr. Bever's and was carried out under the direction of Mr. Bond and Mr. Smith. By locating the registration stations in the big gymnasium the • executive offices were kept free from the crowd of students and the training school was as little disturbed as possible. When interviewed, Dean Bever said that his plan had worked out very successfully and that he was pleased to have the registration finished up in such a satisfactory RUCKMICK SEES SOUTH Mr. Herbert Ruckmick, chairman of the Industrial Arts Department, accompanied by Mrs. Ruckmick, took his vacation in the' South centering on Los Angeles, California. He visited many of the State Teacher's Colleges in California and was greatly impressed with the facilities for Industrial Arts teaching at San Jose. . Santa Barbara,, with its Mission type buildings was t he most beau-iful city they visited, said Mr. Ruckmick.- '• •'• --V-Sixteen new instructors have been engaged for t h e fall quarter, all of whom have several degrees or have had special training in t h e particular subject in which they v are specializing The following are the new instructors engaged: Dr. C.

S. Coast Guard from Port Townsend for t he first practice game of the season. Coaches Optimisitc Coaches Carver and Gunn are-fairly optimistic. Over forty candidates are turning out regularly and 'more are expected to enroll later. While only three are regulars' of last year's squad nearly the entire group are well grounded in football fundamentals and several have had college football experience. Line Weighty ;.; Coach Carver's •• weight chart shows that the seven men working regularly in the forward wall average over 180 pounds apiece so fans should see a heavy blue and white line in action this year. Candidates for back field positions are numerous and all look good . Since ^here is a shortage of end material a few of. the. Tangier .backs may bevcmv-i verted into wing men as t h e season advances. Veterans Back Last year's regulars who will form the hub of this year's squad are: Ivor Moe, giant tackle; Don Stick-ney, who has had three years at center position, and Chuck Erickson, last year's ground-gaining fullback. Men who did not break in regularly last year, but who have had valuable experience are: Mollan, at end; Graverock, guard, and Trygg:- ve, guard.

Plan and Purpose This is the Third Annual Radio Audition for the development and reward of young singers throughout the nation. . . ^ Originated as an altruistic experiment in 1927, continued in 1928 because of popular demand, the wisdom of the Foundation's aim to discover the best young non-professional voices in the United States' and give to the singers an opportunity for further training, recognition, and reward has more than justified itself, and the Audition has become a national institution.. Dates for Contest Periods allotted for the competitions through which America's amateur singers can rise to the final awards totaling 25,000 dollars in cash, besides conservatory scholarships are: Local contests, on or before September 15; State finals, October 1-15; District finals, November 1-30; National finals, in December.

More Efficient The work of registration was greatly expedited by the new plan of locating all the stations as close-together as possible so as to do away with all unnecessary confusion and disorder. The plan was originally Mr. Bever's and was carried out under the direction of Mr. Bond and Mr. Smith. By locating the registration stations in the big gymnasium the • executive offices were kept free from the crowd of students and the training school was as little disturbed as possible. When interviewed, Dean Bever said that his plan had worked out very successfully and that he was pleased to have the registration finished up in such a satisfactory RUCKMICK SEES SOUTH Mr. Herbert Ruckmick, chairman of the Industrial Arts Department, accompanied by Mrs. Ruckmick, took his vacation in the' South centering on Los Angeles, California.
