•^fiSgSal Get Inhibited With The Klipsun Staff In Big Gym Tonite Vikings Invade Oregon; Monmouth, Linfield On Week-end Schedule VOL. XXXVII—NO. 15 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, January 28, 1938 Reporter Exposes Weird Klipsun Saturnalia; Big Night Believed Ahead Klipsun Staff Plans Masquerade Prizes, Costumes, Big Apples, Refreshments Also Ohse Brings the Music By Will Stuart "If the world doesn't come to an end tonight it won't be because the Klipsun didn't try," chorused a rabid regiment of Klipsun people Thursday as they ended what started out to be a simple interview but which, confidentially, had turned out to be a near annihilation of an unwary Viking reporter. Ashcans In Demand "The main idea of this thing," begins Pat Green, who is seeing that this thing goes off satisfactorily, "is to leave your inhibitions in the ash-can when you come to it—." Six other people break in at that point and before I can get out they have got me pinned to the wall and are proceeding to list the many advantages and super-supers connected with their "Inhibition Hop", which it seems is really going to have less inhibition than a Mae West script. "There's gonna be a lot of Big Apples and trucking and all the tximmings," menaces manager Bill Fowler. "Yeah," says Editor Rea-senbr and her aides, "you can make your own cider." Laughing protectively and a little hollowly at this flash of humor I manage to ask what night and where, etc. "You don't know?" Helen Trickey points a wicked looking index at me. Feeling sorry for myself I says, "No," and then find out a few things: Pretty Good, They Say This here, I was coerced into saying this, this here hotsy-totsy trucking masquerade will equal the best that Elsa Maxwell ever dreamed up, will happen tonight, if the cops don't get wind of it, and will last from 8:00 until the orchestra and Kenny Selander get fagged. I also learn that the Klipsun mustangs are planning to show off with a specially elegant rendition of Rudyard Kipling's immortal Lindy Hop and Apache warhoople, whilst Ralph Ohse and his tooters string war music from rafter to rafter. "Youse hafta come dressed in disguise," Fowler growls after the other boys finish jabbering. "You'd make a good tramp as you wouldn't hafta dress up any at all," he adds in broken English. Orgy Masked in Mystery Which all boils down to one thing, as far as can be deciphered: there will be a wild orgy tonight, to which anyone with any inhibitions or doubts should not venture. There might be refreshments too Debate Squads Orate Today Three Northwest Counties Represented by Ten High School Teams If your secret inhibition is to exterminate maids and butlers, or to split fence rails, just don some whiskers and a long tailed coat and present yourself as "Abe" Lincoln II at Klipsun's Inhibition Hop in the Campus school gym tonight! o Wilson Opens Term With Demand For Board Action Wilson Recommends Board Stop Illegal Transfer Of Student Cards (Continued on Page Three) o Saturday Night Club Hears Dean Uhl Speak Taking a lively part in the discussion following the speaker of the evening, President Fisher and Dr. C. C. Upshall attended a monthly meeting of the Saturday Night club in Seattle last January 22. The main speaker was Dean W. L. Uhl, of the College of Education at the University of Washington, who spoke on teacher training problems in higher institutions and especially in the University. lively Discussion "The discussion that followed the talk was both interesting and profitable", said President Fisher about the meeting. Some of the problems discussed were what should constitute a major and a minor in teaching1, and how many credits should be required in different subjects, especially for high school teachers. In the discussion of teachers' placement, the general opinion was that placement of teachers has improved in the last five years. Superintendents of institutions are now placing graduates in positions for which they are suited. It was thought that in general the teachers need breadth of education rather than specialization. By Board Correspondent Acting in accord with plans made by the athletic department for close supervision at all future contests, Don Wilson, new student president, opened his first meeting with a strong recommendation that official action be taken by the board in all cases of illegal use or transference of ASB tickets. Since the athletic department has announced its intention of checking all cards with the signature of those presenting them at all future games, Wilson stated that a firm policy in handling such cases is necessary to the success of such a move. The board reviewed the rulings previously established for such cases and voted that attention be called to them in the official story. The rulings state that in all cases of lost tickets or of illegal use or exchange of tickets, the offender must appear before the board, and must pay twenty per cent of the original cost of the ticket • ($1.20) in order to regain the use of the ticket. Frank Chorvat reported the returns of the election, stating that Phil Kidder was elected vice-president, Pauline Barnes and Shirley Rogers were elected as four quarter student representatives, and Mr. Grim was elected faculty representative. The apportionment of funds for winter quarter was checked and approved, after a careful explanation on the part of President Wilson. Stenciled copies of the board handbook were distributed for checking, and the revised copies •will be checked at the next official meeting. o The northwest debate tournament, which is comprised of high school students representing ten high schools from the three northwest counties of the state, are holding their debate in the auditorium of the Western Washington College today. The college is acting as host and sponsor of the all day session of the tournament to the following high schools: Everett, Lynden, Anacortes, Mount Baker, Arlington, Ferndale, Mount Vernon, Edmonds, Meridian and Sedro-Woolley. A preliminary contest in which each team debated three times was held in the forenoon. All schools winning one-half or more of the morning debates v/ill enter the final afternoon contest. Owing to the number of the debates going on, there is no attempt to have formal audience situations, although from 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon, those wishing to hear the debates may. do so by being present in the auditorium where teams will be in continuous competition. College Judges Judges for the tournament will be upperclassmen in the college. Those selected for this purpose are: Merritt Frizzell, Clarence Soukup, David Osterberg, Clayton Knittel, Alice Siemons, Alfred Loop, Gus-tave Markgraf, Ralph Neil, Pat Green, and Una Clibon. Don Zyl-stra and John Solomon are officials. Student ushers and chairmen are helping and guiding debaters from room to room and in presiding at the sessions. President C. H. Fisher greeted the teams upon their arrival this morning and the school will provide a noon luncheon for the debaters, coaches and judges. Mr. Sidney Patzer, principal of Burlington high school, is the northwest district debate manager. Local arrangements are being made by the Speech department of this school for the suc-css of this event. Kidder Wins Office | Viking Starts Search Among In Election Fmals W W Q Q^ For Most Beautiful Baby Barnes, Rogers, Grirri • Also Selected; Take Office Immediately Phil Kidder as "vice-president, Pauline Barnes and Shirley Rogers as four-quarter representatives, and Paul Grim as faculty representative; that list completes the executive cast for WWC's contemporary political play. The election was held Wednesday in the Men's club room. Falling short of equaling last week's election totals, the Wednesday race was characterized by close contests from all angles. Perhaps only half of those who went to the polls last week, returned again to vote for their favorite candidates. The nominees ror this election were: vice-president, Alice Molen-kamp and Phil Kidder; four-quarter woman representative, Pauline Barnes and Ruth Martinson; four-quarter representative — man or woman—Shirley Rogers and Dale Courtney; faculty representative, C. F. Cederstrom and Paul Grim. Kidder will replace Frank Chorvat who is retiring from office. Barnes and Rogers will take the places of Don Wilson and Virgie Boal, who have finished their term of office. The new officers will take office immediately. Hi Cramp! Baby-Beauty Contest Launched; Winners Get Prizes, Publicity, and Pictures Baby Pictures Wanted ARTIE DEIM, the "clown" of the House of David team, was for three years all-state guard. Hailing from Iowa State, he is a great dribbler and floor man. Deim is the runt of the team, being only five feet ten inches tall and weighing 175 pounds. The Bearded team comes here Tuesday. Maestra Dorfmann Presents Piano Concert Thursday In College Auditorium Presented as the thh$ in this season's concert series, Ania Dorfmann, well-known concert pianist will appear in the WWC auditorium on February 3, under the sponsorship of the Bellingham Civic Music association. Madam Dorfmann, though a Rus- Viking Staff Goes On Cheap Skate On the bill for this coming Saturday night, January 29, is an exclusive skating party given by the old and new members of the Viking staff. Between 50 and 60 skaters including old and new members are invited to join in the merriment and fun. The editor says that the new members of the staff might be initiated further, as the first initiation was not considered stiff enough. The party will be given at the skating rink on Railroad avenue and Holly street, from 9:00 until 11:30. Only special tickets will admit the Viking guests., o High School Girls Hold Conference sian by birth; received most of her training arrider Isldor Phllipp, at the Paris Conservatoire. Her formal training stopped when she was fourteen years old, and since then she has done all of her own coaching. Her concert work started in Liege, Belgium, followed by another concert in Paris, France. In a short time she became a favorite solo artist of symphony conductors. Aside from her outstanding talent at the piano, Madam Dorfmann has an excellently trained coloratura voice. . Tetrazzini, on hearing her sing, once offered to train her for opera; however she preferred the piano. Before a concert Madam Dorfmann always plays a game of soli-tare, as it relaxes both her mind and hands. She-suffers from stage fright only before a concert, but as soon as she has appeared she is all right. Students may obtain tickets for the concert by presenting their student activity cards at Mr. Boson's office on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday of next week. o Former Attendance Rules Effective Because of talk of a probable change in attendance regulations, some students seem to have the idea' that credits were no longer being taken for unexcused absences, but according to Dr. M. S. Kuder, cuts are still being counted. The proposed revision will be finally decided at the next faculty meeting set for February IS. Faculty, committee members favored abolition of the present WWC practice of reducing credits and grades for unexcused absences. Girls from sixteen high schools of Whatcom and Skagit counties will have an opportunity to become acquainted with the Women's League when they meet at WWC on Friday, February 11. Each school will be represented by three girls and a faculty adviser. A program has been planned for the entire day, beginning with registration of the visitors at 10:30 Friday morning. After attending the assembly at eleven the girls will be served luncheon at Edens hall. In the afternoon, they will be taken on a conducted tour of the campus. Following the tour, discussion groups will be organized so that the girls can exchange ideas and discuss school problems. A tea in the Blue room will end the conference. Margaret Schold is general chairman of the conference. The assisting chairmen are: Doris Tarte, registration; Shirley Rogers, assembly; Helen Westlake, luncheon; Eloise Whitcombe, tour of campus; Clara Vander Griend, discussion groups; Phyllis McNamee, tea.

The concert is scheduled for 8:15 o'clock in the College auditorium. o Domestic Rebellion Next Production The despotic domestic domination of the head of the house of Heather over the rest of his household, and the resulting revolt of his daughter form the theme of the next theatre guild production "The Heathers at Home," to be presented February 9 to 12. Maxine Moldrem, recently elected the most popular girl of this college, is the female lead in the comedy, portraying the daughter Bessie. Bessie, who had taken everything her father had dished out in the past, decides that when the old tyrant tries to pick her husband for her, he is going too far. "The Heathers at Home," written by William Alden Kimball, pictures family life in this state, in a humorous manner. The stage version is being directed by G. Bernard Chichester with Werner Klein as stage manager. o Arntzen Addresses Group At last, through the ever-ready auspices of the W e s t e r n Viking, the people of WWC are going to see what the people of WW C looked like in their infancy. Or didn't look like. Baby Beauty Contest Here Pointblank, about to be launched by the Viking, is a contest to decide the most beautiful baby of the past among women now in college. One drawback that will af- ' feet a few collegians is attached to this baby beauty search, the one that limits the field to the women and excludes the males. Otherwise the prospects of this contest are unlimited. The reason for this ban on the menfolk and their talcum powder counterparts is merely that • the pictures of the adult baby will be printed in the Viking, the Bellingham Herald, and the Klipsun, and the editors are working on the principle that who wants to see a bunch of cute looking males in diapers. As a bit of an incentive for the bashful ones the Viking is reaching down into a receding coffer and is setting up three modest awards for the winning beauties. The first award is three dollars, the second is two dollars, and the third is one dollar. These will be presented by Editor Soukup in assembly.- Authorities Will Judge Judges of the pictures, five surefire critics of beauty and things, will be Soukup, Don Gooding, Eleanor Reasoner, L. A. McGee, and Don Wilson. These were chosen mainly because they are practically incorruptible in such matters. Particulars are these: Anyone possessing a picture or anything resembling a picture of her early childhood (four years or under), may enter; the contest will run for two weeks from today, in order to give participants sufficient time to dust off their old celluloids; pictures are to be sent to the Western Viking office or given to any one of the judges; presentation of awards will be on Friday, February 11, in assembly; pictures will appear on that day in the Viking, and on Sunday following in the Herald. o New Orchestra Coming For League Informal E. J. Arntzen, History department, addressed a meeting of high school and elementary school teachers at Lynden last Tuesday evening. His talk was entitled "Social Movements as an Aspect of Social Change." Listen, my children and you shall hear of the nightly revels of WWC gals and their boy friends as they "swing it" at the Women's League Informal next Saturday night, February 5. The tolo is to be held at the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel and dancing will be from 9:00 until 12:00. The price of admission is one dollar. Because of previous engagements no town orchestra was available. However, the League was fortunate in obtaining Ez Partington's orchestra from out of town. They are extremely popular and promise to furnish up-to-the-minute music. That o-so-popular, fantastic, catchy dance rhythm, "Big Apple" is to be the general theme. For those of you who enjoy cavorting to the strains of Bob White there will be one Big Apple dance, and for those who simply abhor such "new fangled contrivances," there will be fifteen other dances to be thoroughly enjoyed. Ruth Bennington, general chairman, states, "All indications point to a bigger and better Informal than any other previous one. We hope to see a record crowd in attendance, and above all we want everyone to plan on ah evening packed full of fun." , The committee chairmen are working hard to make the affair a successful one in all respects.

The party will be given at the skating rink on Railroad avenue and Holly street, from 9:00 until 11:30. Only special tickets will admit the Viking guests., o High School Girls Hold Conference sian by birth; received most of her training arrider Isldor Phllipp, at the Paris Conservatoire. Her formal training stopped when she was fourteen years old, and since then she has done all of her own coaching. Her concert work started in Liege, Belgium, followed by another concert in Paris, France. In a short time she became a favorite solo artist of symphony conductors. Aside from her outstanding talent at the piano, Madam Dorfmann has an excellently trained coloratura voice. . Tetrazzini, on hearing her sing, once offered to train her for opera; however she preferred the piano. Before a concert Madam Dorfmann always plays a game of soli-tare, as it relaxes both her mind and hands. She-suffers from stage fright only before a concert, but as soon as she has appeared she is all right. Students may obtain tickets for the concert by presenting their student activity cards at Mr. Boson's office on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday of next week. o Former Attendance Rules Effective Because of talk of a probable change in attendance regulations, some students seem to have the idea' that credits were no longer being taken for unexcused absences, but according to Dr. M. S. Kuder, cuts are still being counted. The proposed revision will be finally decided at the next faculty meeting set for February IS. Faculty, committee members favored abolition of the present WWC practice of reducing credits and grades for unexcused absences. Girls from sixteen high schools of Whatcom and Skagit counties will have an opportunity to become acquainted with the Women's League when they meet at WWC on Friday, February 11.

Maxine Moldrem, recently elected the most popular girl of this college, is the female lead in the comedy, portraying the daughter Bessie. Bessie, who had taken everything her father had dished out in the past, decides that when the old tyrant tries to pick her husband for her, he is going too far. "The Heathers at Home," written by William Alden Kimball, pictures family life in this state, in a humorous manner. The stage version is being directed by G. Bernard Chichester with Werner Klein as stage manager. o Arntzen Addresses Group At last, through the ever-ready auspices of the W e s t e r n Viking, the people of WWC are going to see what the people of WW C looked like in their infancy. Or didn't look like. Baby Beauty Contest Here Pointblank, about to be launched by the Viking, is a contest to decide the most beautiful baby of the past among women now in college. One drawback that will af- ' feet a few collegians is attached to this baby beauty search, the one that limits the field to the women and excludes the males. Otherwise the prospects of this contest are unlimited. The reason for this ban on the menfolk and their talcum powder counterparts is merely that • the pictures of the adult baby will be printed in the Viking, the Bellingham Herald, and the Klipsun, and the editors are working on the principle that who wants to see a bunch of cute looking males in diapers. As a bit of an incentive for the bashful ones the Viking is reaching down into a receding coffer and is setting up three modest awards for the winning beauties. The first award is three dollars, the second is two dollars, and the third is one dollar. These will be presented by Editor Soukup in assembly.- Authorities Will Judge Judges of the pictures, five surefire critics of beauty and things, will be Soukup, Don Gooding, Eleanor Reasoner, L. A. McGee, and Don Wilson. These were chosen mainly because they are practically incorruptible in such matters. Particulars are these: Anyone possessing a picture or anything resembling a picture of her early childhood (four years or under), may enter; the contest will run for two weeks from today, in order to give participants sufficient time to dust off their old celluloids; pictures are to be sent to the Western Viking office or given to any one of the judges; presentation of awards will be on Friday, February 11, in assembly; pictures will appear on that day in the Viking, and on Sunday following in the Herald. o New Orchestra Coming For League Informal E. J. Arntzen, History department, addressed a meeting of high school and elementary school teachers at Lynden last Tuesday evening. His talk was entitled "Social Movements as an Aspect of Social Change." Listen, my children and you shall hear of the nightly revels of WWC gals and their boy friends as they "swing it" at the Women's League Informal next Saturday night, February 5. The tolo is to be held at the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel and dancing will be from 9:00 until 12:00. The price of admission is one dollar. Because of previous engagements no town orchestra was available. However, the League was fortunate in obtaining Ez Partington's orchestra from out of town. They are extremely popular and promise to furnish up-to-the-minute music. That o-so-popular, fantastic, catchy dance rhythm, "Big Apple" is to be the general theme. For those of you who enjoy cavorting to the strains of Bob White there will be one Big Apple dance, and for those who simply abhor such "new fangled contrivances," there will be fifteen other dances to be thoroughly enjoyed. Ruth Bennington, general chairman, states, "All indications point to a bigger and better Informal than any other previous one. We hope to see a record crowd in attendance, and above all we want everyone to plan on ah evening packed full of fun." , The committee chairmen are working hard to make the affair a successful one in all respects. |
