No-Date Affair ANNUAL DANCE FEATURES CUPID VALENTINES IN SCHEME Junior Class Changes . Traditional Dance To No-Date, No-Program Evening. The Junior class is busily engaged in preparing for the Cupid's Informal to be given on Saturday, February the 19th. For this occasion the gymnas­ ium in the Administration Building is to be decorated with valentines and other intriguing manifestations of af­ fection as the motif. Making dates is to ibe a matter of choice with those who come, the un­ derstanding of course being that the women do the asking. Nevertheless, dates are not essential. The price of admission is I5c per individual, and 25c per "dated" couple. The Junior class, through its com­ mittees, has prepared a dance that promises to be one of the best. Each and every studnt is invited to come and join in the good time spheduled for that evening. And as a result the lads and lassies from our sister college couldn't get Jack's autograph on their napkins. In fact, Jack just wasn't signing his name at all that day. Slight Mix-Up MAYBE YOU HAVE WONDERED WHY THERE WAS NO BETWEEN THE HALVES PROGRAM AT THE IMPORTANT CHENEY GAME. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, YELL KING MILANOWSKI HAD BEEN PLANNING FOR THIS GAME FOR A LONG TIME AND HAD LINED UP SEVERAL GOOD COMEDY NUMBERS FOR THE INTERMIS­ SION. —o— At the last minute, however, the business office asked him to call them off, as the presentation of football sweaters was to be made at that time. So the fluttered yell king did a lot of frantic telephoning to make apologies to the scheduled actors. Then at the last half minute, the A. S. B. presi­ dent, Mr. Burnett, recalled that he had scheduled an assembly for the express purpose of awarding said sweaters. So the whole thing had to Ibe called off Thus a handful of students will leave their classes to witness the ceremony- while a couple of thousand spectators will wonder why the advertised half- time program was omitted. ®VT IF YOU THINK THAT STORY IS ENTANGLED WITH JRED TAPE, WAIT UNTIL WE RELATE OUR EXPERIENCES TRYING TO OBTAIN A TYPEWRITER RIBBON AND 12c WORTH OF POSTAGE STAMPS FOR THE CAMPUS (Continued on page 2) TRAINING SCHOOL PUBLISHES PAPER Mimeographing Takes Place Of Printing . The Edison News in its new form is now obtainable in the Sixth grade room in the Training school. Every­ one who is interested in child educa­ tion should not fail to get one as he will find this compilation of schopl activities not only of great interest ibut also of much value in teaching1. The Edison News has been publish­ ed by the Sdxbh grade for many years. Yearly bound volumes which serve as valuable references, may ibe found in the Training school library. Every year till this, it has been printed as a reigular newspaper in a smaller form. This year, because of lack of funds, the former method of printing the Edison News had to be abandoned. In­ stead of the old form, the new Train­ ing school publication is mimeograph­ ed. It is interesting to note that at first the children questioned the possiibili ties of the paper in its news form, ibut they are now discovering, in re­ creating their paper, many new and attractive ideas which can be worked out that will probably result in a paper better than ever ibefor*. So instead of wit® doubtful atti­ tudes, the children are working on new ideas with , a great deal of enthusiasm They are attempting to arrange each aSeue, so'fifcKfct*at the end of..the yeai all the pipers may be put together to form a volume comparable to an an­ nual. JOB PROSPECTS ARE MUCH BETTER BRIGHTER OUTLOOK SHOWN School Superintendents Plan To Fill Vacancies Early Vacancy Notices Starting Already. "Prospects for teaching position openings this Spring are definitley better than last year, and scfiool sup­ erintendents who do not plan to be left without a teacher this year are mak­ ing plans to receive applications ear­ lier this year than last," said Dr. Sam- uelson, director of Personnel and Placement upon his return from the meeting of the Schoolmaster's club in Yakima last Saturday morning. •Placements from here which may be classed under the emergency heading have numbered four since December 1. Those placed were Ruth Gleason, Kent Helga Parent, Omak Anita Easterly, KentJ and Marion Carpenter, Tieton. The total number of those who held teaching diplomas last year and who • were eligible to feceive teaching posi­ tions was eight less than this year. Eighty-four students, third and fourth year, received positions. This year, with conditions definitely improved, 92 students will be f liling out applications to receive their assignments. All students who plan to teach next year are urged by Dr. Samuelson to Complete the filling out of the applica­ tion blanks which give personal infor­ mation concerning the applicant. Suit­ able application pictures should be left on file so that credentials and pic­ tures may be forwarded to Superin­ tendents who have vacancies in their systems whenever notice is rateived. COLONIALBALL PLANS UNDERWAY REVOLUTIONARY DAYS Committees Named To Carry Out Work For Soph Affair New Logic To Hold Center Of Attention SMYSER'STALK INTRODUCES MEET NEW LOGIC DISCUSSED SELDEN F. SMYSER Social Science Department Who is cooperating with Joe Trainor and Dean Whitney in preparing a pro­ gram for a Scientific Conference to ibe held here March 1st and 2nd DINING HALL FOOD DISSATISFACTION SOLVED BY COMMITTEE Scientific Conference Next Month Will Carry Out Work On New Modes of Thought Introduc­ tion Given Cash Value of Education ^Increases Arithmetically Only two boys of every 100 receive four years of college educa­ tion. To increase this number is one of the goals of American life insurance companies, says a prominent insurance executive. The value of an education was pointed out by the executive, who cited statistics compiled by the Massachusetts department of labor and the college of business administration, Boston University. The cash value of a college educa- * tion as compared to a high school edu­ cation was set Iby the statistics at $72,- 000. The total earnings of a College graduate from 22 to 60 average $150,- 000. Income Lower "When a boy goes to work at 14 he reaches his maximum income at 30. He averages less than $1200 a year. His income depends largely upon man­ ual dexterity and physical strength and thus falls off gradually after he 50. More than 60 of every un- is trained workers are dependent for sup­ port at 60. He earns approximately $45,000 between 14 and 60 and not more than $2,000 of this in the years he should have been in 'high school," he says. 40 Is Maximum "The high school graduate goes to work at 18, and passes the max­ imum of the untrained man with­ in, seven years, rising steadily to bijg maximum of $2-200 at 40. He continues at that level the remain­ der of his active life. His total earnings from 18 to 60 approxi­ mate $78)000, making the cash value of his high school education $33,000 more than the untrained man. "In the case of the college-trained man, he dpesn't start permanent earn­ ings until he is 22. Perhaps he earns some money while he is attending col­ lege. By the time he is 28, his income equals that of the high sdiool gradu­ ate at 40, and it continues to rise without a 'break. $6,000 Average At 60 "Th great difference," lie said, "is that the college-trained man's income is dependent upon his mental ability, and training constantly improves it by practice. The average income of $6,- 000 a year at 60 is often surpssed. With an "average of $150,000 total in­ come between 22 and 60, the college education is worth $72,000 more than just a high school education." George Washington himself will have little on the Sophomore class when they bring forth all original ideas which are intend­ ed to make the Colonial Ball, tra­ ditional Sophomore class Winter Formal, one of the delightful and distinctive affairs of the year to be held February 23rd. The entire class,: under the direction of its social commissioner, Jeanne Ernsdorff, will have much of the work, to do in preparation for the dance, although definite committees have al­ ready been named to take care of sep­ arate duties. Comnuttes Named The decoration committee, under the chairmanship of Isabel Frazier, is composed of Myrtle Brown, Mary Bol- tanan, Bess Howe, Carl Dunning, John Kerby, and Bill Price, while Mary Crawford, as chairman of the enter­ tainment committee, will have Cather­ ine Brodero and Dolly Ranetta as as­ sistants. Programs and invitations wiD be handled by Florence Atwood as chairman and Thelma Plouse. Elaine Shields, and Evelyn Max­ well The duty of hiring the or­ chestra for the function will rest upon Bill Ellis and Phyllis Tidland and Eddie Steigler. To quench the •thirst of their guests for the even­ ing will be the task of Helen Ot- tini and Amy Weber who have charge of the punch booth. The most unpopular job of all will rest with Catherine Speddin, chairman, Marjorie Wotring, Fred Gillis, and Jimmy Merryman who will have charge of the cleanup after the affair is over. All committees are requested to start to work immediately in order that the work may not take on a last minnte rush for compltion. Anyone desiring information concerning just what is to be done may find the an­ swer to their queries Ibv communicat­ ing with the social commissioner, Jeanine Ernsdorff or Carl. Dunning, class^ president. Because of dissatisfaction with meals served in the dining hall, a com­ mittee of students has twice met with members of the faculty, and discussed the problem. This appeared to be mainly the lack of variety! In th© menu, which did not include sufficient fresh fruits and vegetables. It was suggseted that several some­ what expensive items be prepared less frequently than at present,, or elimi­ nated altogther, so that other more desirable foods may be served instead. Students are likely to forget that preparing and serving food to a num­ ber of people is a considerable task and it is almost impossible to please every one. Moreover, the dining ihall supports itself, as well as provides work for women students. It is these reasons, in the face of rapidly rising costs of certain foods, that pomplicate the situation. However, several suggestions as to puttinig foods on tables were made these, together with satisfaction late­ ly expressed in regard to meals serv­ ed during the past wetek or two, are expected to solve the situation. SHORT STORY WRITERS HARD AT WORK MANUSCRIPTS BEING MADE Scientific Conference Next Month Will Carry Out Work On New Modes Of Thought Introduction Given. Last Tuesday's assembly served as aif introduction to a significant and important event scheduled here for Friday and Saturday, March first and second. Addressing assembled students on New Ways of Thinking, Selden F. Smyser, social science instructor, pre­ viewed various systems of logic in­ cluding the non-Aristotelian method of Count Korzybski. whose appearance here next month is (heralded with much enthusiasm. Mr. Smyser discussed at some length the various logics the world has known, beginning with the thinking habits of the earlifest people. Divina­ tion. oracles and all of the many sup­ erstitions of early man, he said, do not differ fundamentally from certain fix­ ed modes of logic we harbor today. All of these early thinking habits worked for their time and place and served a certain social function. Many logics have come and gone. The plural of the term loigic was used by the speaker as it emphasizes his contention that "log­ ic isn't one but logics are many." Preceding the lecture were numbers by the instrumental quartet, a Tschai- kowsky composition played as a trum­ pet solo by Mr. Ernst and a number ly the girls' instrumental trio. KNIGHTS PLAN NOVELTY DANCE MASQUERADE OR COSTUME CAMPUS SELECTED FOR SCIENCE MEET KORZYBSKI TO COME HERE "Cohgress on General Semantics" Will Have SneaKers And Pa- pers From Noted Men of Sci­ ence In the United States. How to raise words to reach the 1500 mark on stories whose plots seem to take on a never ending-amount of complication is the problem of the sev­ eral short story writers on the Cam­ pus who are busily engaged in prepar­ ing manuscripts for entry in the con­ test for college students sponsored by "Story Magazine," a New York publi­ cation. Dante Cappa, Alice Emerson, Eddie Shimano, Gordon Newell, and Kenneth Bowers are among those who plan to enter in the contest and who are al­ ready writing their stories. The contest is the second one of its nature and a prize of $100 is offered for the best story. A second prize of $5 is also offered. Amateur writers who ihave a yen for expressing a secret desire to write may enter the contest by seeing either Dr. MacRae or Mr. Hinch. ONE-ACT PLAYS MISS AGNES HOWE t« DIRECT PRODUCTION Reino Randall and Naomi Edwards were among those alums who return­ ed to Ellensburg for the Cheney game. •Lawrence Nelson and Don Conners moved into Munson hall last Saturday. This raises the total to a new high for several years. Service Club Says Affair Will Knock People's Eyes Out At a meting in the Old Ad attic last Thursday night, the newly organized Knights of the Claw spent an hour in discussing future plans for the or­ ganization. Plans for the Claw daaee to be held on February 1st were def­ initely put into the hands of the dance committee chairman, Herb Maxon, and the entire organization will work in co­ operation with him to make the dance a success. The motif for the dance will be either "hard times" or plain masquerade. At any rate, costuming will be in vogue this evening. "Congress on General Seman­ tics," a high sounding name which may sound quite technical to the unitiated, is exactly the purpose of the committee of three, Joe Trainor, Selden Smy­ ser, and H. J. Whitney, which is in charge of the coming scientif­ ic conference which will be held here on this Campus on March 1st and 2nd. The committee of three has been busy communicating with scientists and well-known contrfiutoTS in the sci­ entific field and has issued invitations to many to attend the conference. The chief speaker of the meetings will ibe Alfred Korzybski, author of "Science and Sanity," the book which set fire to this logical world. Interest Manifested While-all plans have not been defin­ itely completed and all letters ef in­ vitation have not as yet been answer­ ed, it is expfected that there will be un­ usual interest manifested from repre­ sentative fields all over the United States and that Northwest attendance wilr lie large. An intresting feature of the Congress on General Semantics will be the read­ ing of papers sent in by scientists in various parts of the United States and working in different fields, but each with an interest in this new field of science set forth by Count Korzybsld. Papers To Be Read Official notice has been received of the following papers: "The Non-Aris­ totelian. System and General Se­ mantics" by Prof. O. L. Reiser, of the Dept. of Phil­ osophy of the U- niversity of Pitts­ burgh meeti n g s of the American _ . Academy for the Joe Trainor Advancement of Science in December on this subject. "The General Formula of Heredity ir.. the Light of Korzybski an Science," by Dr. Hairy H. Laughlin of the Eu­ genics Record Office of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. (Continued on page 2) Versatility And Background, Shown in President's Life _ . #' \ ^ Many interesting -things were learned about the President of this Normal school upon inquiry concerning his past history. When it comes to versatility, broad experience, and a full back­ ground, there is little missing. Born an Ontario, Canada, Robert Er-* vine McConnell moved, with his family soon thereafter to central Montana Future Barrymores and Garbo's will again pantomime and express their emotions before the foot lights on March 7, 8, and 9. This quarter three one-act plays, di rected by Miss Agnes Howe, will be presented by the Little Arts Theater. Plans and rehearsals for the plays are under way. The plays that wlil 'be presented are: "Slave With Two Faces," "Pearls," and "The Man Who Died at Twelve O'Clock." One is an allegorical play, another a comedy close to a melo­ drama, and the other a negro comedy. At tryouts last week the following- persons were chosen to dramatize the roles, Elsabelle Cruttendon, Lucille Peterson, John Kerby, Alice Emerson, Therona Lane, Dante Cappa. Paul Soli, Evelyn Maxwell, Robert Hanneman, and Don George. Technical department heads are: Stage Manager, Margaret McKibben publicity, Rush Speddin and Lawrence Nelson scenery, Katherine Speddjn. prompters, Maxine Sheldon and Betty Rich costumes, Elizabeth Pattennaude and Bernice Colwell properties, Char­ lotte Burke and Margaret Dierienger. where his father, because of his health, became engaged in wheat -farming. Fergus county high school had him for a graduate. Upon. -graduation, plans for a farming career were para­ mount in the president's life. These were altered after attendance at Mon­ tana State College, where he received his B. S. degree in 1921. He received a M. S. from the Uni­ versity of Wisconsin in 1923, just two years later. The State University of Iowa granted him in 1928, a Ph. D. He was also a summer graduate student at Harvard University during the sum mer of 1927. He also attended the Min­ nesota school of business in Minneapo­ lis. In considering experience" in teaching and la administrative work, a variety of positions and a variety of locations mark his ca­ reer. Dr. McConnell was an in­ structor in Science and Agricul­ ture in Harlowtown, Montana, high school in 192122. From there he went to the North Dakota Ag­ ricultural dpllege in Fargo as an instructor in education and psy­ chology. Moving across the bor­ der to Brookings, South Dakota, he became assistant professor of education and psychology at the Sooth Dakota State Collage in 192$-27. West Virginia called Jiim next and he moved to Huntington, West Vir­ ginia'to Marshall College to become an' associate professor of education. It was while he was here that he was married. Cheney State Normal had Dr. McConnell as its head of education from 1929 .until 1931 at which time he was offered the presidency of Ellens­ burg State Normal School and he ac­ cepted. In his educational career, Dr. McConnell has received fellow­ ships from the State University of Iowa and the University of Wis­ consin and Harvard. He is a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Delta Kappa, Kappa Delta Pi, Alpha rr~A.- tr - —j £*5Ui, r~l lYttppct i/ciwi, emu 01 olgXXlS Alpha Epsilon. ' He has been listed in Who's Who in American Education, Leaders in Amer­ ican Education, and Presidents, of American Colleges and Universities. He has memberships in American As­ sociation of University Professors, Na­ tional Society of College Teachers of Education, the N, E. A., the W. E.

FACULTY PREJUDICES Living within the limited confines of a narrow mind, bounded by provincialism, biases, intolerance, and racial prejudice, with ac­ tions dictated by logic-tight compartments, with no educational or social philosophy, at least one faculty member in every school butts his way around the Campus and tries to cramp students into his mean, niggardly, way of thinking. This man has a right to his opinions, but just so have the stu­ dents. .The part this man should play is that of a guide. He should attempt io lead the students out of their opinions if those opin­ ions are faulty. He should preach his doctrine, if he belives he is right, uphold his tenets, show the logic and the reason behind it, educate the students where they need it, and show the faculty in those students' arguments, if fallacy there be. And don't doubt that students, who are in school for an educa­ tion, want to be educated. They do. But when a membr of the faculty of any school, here as well as elsewhere, allows his personal dislike for the ancestry or the per­ sonality of any student to dictate to, to gag, and to insult that stu­ dent, we believe that unfairness has reachd its peak and that scholasticism and education are dead. -CAM PUS NAPS - A DIFFERENT SITUATION An ambitious lot—these State Normal students! Work here on this Campus is taking on a decidedly different aspect than has been the case in recent years in most of the insti­ tutions of "higher learning," not only here, but the country over. To work one's way through school no longer mars one's character, nor does it definitely hamper one's social activities or the curricu- lar details in which one becomes involved in college life.. Changed? Perhaps—but for the better. The depression, we can say,*has done that much for us at least. "Democracy" has taken a new form over the bent back which trims the grass along sidewalk edges, which pounds the typewriters in offices for the luckier of the professors who can rate a private secretary, and by the clatter of the wheelbarrows which denotes the passage of an industrious FERA worker who is ardently pursuing his fifteen dollars a month which the government deems fit to donate him. This fifteen dollars, in many cases, is the sole means of support for the student. Imagine the plutocrat of 1929 who could eat three square meals a day buy a few clothes now and then, take the object of his affection to the movies once a week, buy cigarettes, and pay room rent out of a fifteen dollar a month stipend. Impossible— it would have been pronounced in those good old days—but not so now. Instead, the concensus is that that is the thing that is being done. It's fashionable to no longer have money when it is needed. Everyone receives no small amount of joy in unlimbering long tales of woe upon a fellow student who happens to be in every bit as difficult financial straits as the aformentioned one. It's democracy rampant that gives the "broke" stude the proper attitude—the "well, I'm broke, but so is everyone else, so why should I worry?" formula makes "brothers" of us all. —J. B.

Nfirmal C?.mnus Ideal While it may seem curious to some that an important scientific meeting is being held at a Normal school rather than at some University, it is not so strange. The following quotation from a letter received from Prof. G. E. Cog- hill, one of the leading anatomists of this country is interesting: • "I can only express my belief in the importance of the contribution that Count Korzybski has made to the cause of sane thinking, and my hope that the cause will go for- .. ward. Indeed, in a Normal school, where teachers are being trained to introduce the young to methods of thinking, would seem to be the most desirable place for the First - American Congress for General Semantics to convene." HERE'S MORE ABOUT BETWEEN LINES (Continued from page 1) CRIER. WE HAVEN'T QUITE LIN­ ED THEM UP YET, BUT SHOULD HAVE MADE .SOME PROGRESS BY NEXT WEEK. WE'LL LET YOU IN ON THE HORRIBLE DETAILS THEN. The more scientific-minded young men and -women attending here will be- glad to learn in this issue of the Crier that a SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE, (its true moniker), will fee held on this Campus on the first and second days of next month.

STYLE SHORTS BY BETTY LOU MAUS Hair styles should be in conformity with the costumes you wear. It is apparent that frivolous curls and puffs are not especially at­ tractive with strictly tailored sports clothes. If you really wish to be versatile and interesting you should study different styles to suit different occaisons. To those of the students who have been in classes under Mr. Smyser or JoefTrainor (his more ardent followers) there is one name among the list of those who will attend the conference which should elicit no small amount of excitement—KORZYBSKI. 'Students here have been Korzybski- ized thoroughly in the course of the ^ast two years, and nothing short of an earthquake will stop many from attending his lectures. THIS CONFERENCE, UNDER THE SPONSORSHIP OF PROF. JOE TRAINOR OF THE PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT, WILL BE OPEN TO THE ENTIRE STUDENT BODY AND TO THE INTERESTED PUB­ LIC. Papers will be read from many no­ tables who will be unable to attend the conference in person. Public interest will be centered in Ellensburg during the course of this convention—the most should, ar.d probably will, be made of it. Gordon Newell made a business trip to the coast last week end. Besides visiting a mysterious person whose likeness now adorns his study table, he visited with Bud Stewart and Keith Brown. Bud is a forestry student at the University of Washington this quarter. A regulation football uniform, in­ cluding a ball, costs approximately $300. - ' s If your hair has sufficient care this should not be difficult to do. Use a shampoo that flatters your own hair -^-there are many good ones available. Keep your hair nicely combed and be sure that you use your hair brush fre­ quently. If your hair is very oily it should be shampooed oftener and brushed less frequently. However, if your hair is dry and lacks lustre a good thorough brushing will do it worlds of good. Use a stiff brush and brush your hair until it feels electric and is full of life and color. Regular treatment of this kind will produce splendid re­ sults. If you have a permanent don't ex­ pect your hair to take care of itself. It needs just as much care ar.d atten­ tion as straight hair does. Brush it carefully but do brush it, because it will lose its vitality'unless the natural oil is stimulated. Shampoo it with special care. It might even be wisest to use oil shampoo of some kind. Don't be afraid to experiment with your hair. Part it at different places and try out some of the new styles you observe. If your hair looks best long wear it that way even' if fashion does dictate short hair. Hair is an element in personality that we quite often disregard. Neat hair that stays looking neat is a re­ markable asset to one's looks and in­ cidentally to the personality. Untidy hair may quite easily brand you as an untidy or careless person—so if our hair won't stay combed you'd bet­ ter concentrate your care and atten­ tion on it until you find some more pleasing arrangement. Perhaps you wonder why 1 am de­ voting so much space to hair and fin­ gernails instead of talking more , about clothes—just remember this: The es­ sence of smartness lies not so muA in the dothes you wear, as how you wear them and good grooming will be a winning- feature no matter how plain the clothes you wear. WHO'S WHO ON THE NORMAL CAMPUS Born—January 16, 1915. Place—Cle Elum, Washington. Sex—A girl. Name—Lydia. Surname—Graber. First Words—Ga, Ga. bu, Da, Da— (meaning, I wanna be a teacher when I get big.) In tracing Lydia's life history we find that she has followed her child­ hood inclination, that of being a teach­ er. Lydia has always been a very am­ bitious person and while in high school was a popular member of the student body. Her many activities in dramat­ ics, school publications, and clubs kept her time well occupied. In addition to this Lydia was able to keep up in her scholastic standing, and her name ap­ peared on the honor roll continully. She attended Cheney Normal in 1932-33 where she started on the road of the teaching profession- She trans­ ferred to Ellensburg Normal last year, and her energetic and amibitipus tend­ encies have shown throughout her DICK SCHULTZ . t i • « t j Shoe says: Our Soles and J 1HeelsRebuilder cover more than your shoes.} They Cover the Kittitas Valley. • Across from N.

STEPHENS GIVES PHILOSOPHICAL SLANTS IN LECTURE REGISTRAR ADVISES GRADE BOOK USE This lecture is concerned'with five thinkers, two of them Christian, the others Greek. Prof. Stephens refer­ red to St. Augustine and St. Thomas in answer to a question. In the two or three centuries prev­ ious to St. Augustine, the church had grown quite large, and had become probably the strongest influence in government of that period. For this reason it was necessary that there be A formal organization of the church. This St. Augustine did. In 1100, every one waited the sec­ ond coming of Christ. His non-ap­ pearance led, along with other factors, to the new church movement under ®t. Thomas Aquinas, the founder of the present-day conception of the Church. Early Christianity was benevolent individualism, helpful and considerate 'toward one's neighbors. But within the last 75 years the churches we know have become individualistic on a Darwinian basis, that is, pragmatic. It is the business of the church to fos­ ter what we've lost—spiritual life. The church is not directly concerned with •problems of the day. Protagoras' Philosophy Referring then to the Greeks of the Fourth Century B. C., Prof. Stephens outlined the philosophy of Protagoras. Protagoras held to no standards, and •rejected the idea of a status quo. Ev- ' eryor.e was to create his own stand­ ards, to be his own judge. Success iwas all that mattered the loser was in disfavor with the gods. Although . apparently cruel, Protgoras was not, for he was cultured, and a talented or­ ator. He believed in success, but in winning like a gentleman. •Disagreeing with Protagoras, Soc­ rates maintained that there are rules to conform to. There are ways in which people may conduct themselves. The way to find these things was to talk about them. Socrates lfed people out, by means of questions and answ­ ers, in order to refine people's ideas concerning such matters as justice, or honesty. People were to discuss these and similar abstractions. Concepts were to be group concepts, modified acpording to the number of individuals in and the character of, the group. The larger the group was the more modified the concept, and as a result, the more perfect. Everyone is a part of the whole, and ought to be consult­ ed. Socrates lived his philosophy, and was glad to die for it, lest his pupils lose faith in his teachings. Systematization Comes Afetr every investigation comes sys­ tematization. After the anthropolog— ists Protagoras and Socrates—had e- volved theories of life, and the universe Plato busied himself with Socratic ideas. Plato believed that nothing real ex­ ists on earth. Reality is somewhere :n the sky. Both abstract ideas and material objects exist somewhere as forms. The chairs we sit on are not . chairs, in reality. Chairs exist in space, as ideas. The maker of a chair has a pattern to follow the pattern is real, the chair is not. This reality exists, however. Anything perfect is pure form. Platonism is objective modem ideal­ ism is subjective. Plato said, the world is here, imitate it. A modern indiv­ idual says make your own world, and : get along as well as you can. . With this, Professor Stephens eon- ' eluded his lecture, after referring to • next Monday's study of Aristotle, the last of the great Greek philosophers. Record Books Issued Last Year Should Be Kept Up-To-Date, According to Advice Record Books Issued Last Year Should Be Kept Up To Date, According To Advice. A year ago Record Books were pre­ pared for each student then in resi­ dence. These were mailed with the grade reports to new students" at the close of the Autumn quarter. Students were asked to insert this grade report in the Record Book and to add each successive report as it comes until the student graduates. Each student will then hav©' a complete, record of all work taken during the three or four years. The Record Books were sent to near­ ly all new students at the close of the Autumn quarter this year. The few who did not receive copies may have them by calling at the Registrar's of­ fice. It is strongly urged that all students avail themselves of the opportunity to secure and to keep up-to-date this means of knowing just what courses have been taken and what courses are yet required. Students may have ac­ cess to, their records any time fay mak­ ing the request in the Registrar's of­ fice. Amateur Journalists Are Discussed At Meeting New Press Club Pledges Are Rated , Pro and Con, By Older Members. De­ cision Rests In Hands of Committee. At a meeting called by its president, Ray Mellish, last Thursday evening, the Press Club discussed plans for the induction of several new members into the club. Admission to the Press club is entirely dependent upon the journalistic work which the candidate has done since entering, school here. In order that one be eligible for mem­ bership, the candidate must have worked on either the Hyakem or the Campus Crier for at least one quarter. Candidates Among those names which were pre­ sented for consideration and which were referred to a committee compos­ ed of Marjorie Wotring, Elsie Adolph- son and Amy Weber for further in­ vestigation as to eligibility were: Ed­ die Shimano- Speed Solberg, Dante Cappa, Gordon Newell, Don George, Jimmy Merryman, Bill Richert, Betty Lou Maus, Evelyn Maxwell, and Elaine Shields. The final decision will be made at a meeting this week. HALLBERG TELLS OF N. H. A. WORK AT STUDENT ASSEMBLY "A student body is a more import­ ant audience than any other group," said Henry A. Hallberg of the Na­ tional Housing Administration last Thursday morning, speaking to a large group of interested listeners. He was introduced by Dr. Sparks, as "a man called from the business world" to administer the work based or. a survey by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, and on sur­ veys conducted in Holland, England, and other countries on housing prob­ lems. The National Housing Admin­ istration has no political affiliations at all, and, and more than that, it is a self-supporting, organization, re­ ceiving -no funds from the govern­ ment. The purpose of the Administration is to improve housing standards and conditions and at the same time to benefit the: durable goods and the building industry which is second only to farming as the most important in­ dustry of this country. This differs from the Home Owners Loan Corporation' in that the latter is for the purpose of saving homes, not houses, by the use of government funds. The National Housing Act is operated by private capital with the U. S. government to back up the paper. Results to be gained from the Ad­ ministration are to relieve unemploy­ ment, create more business, to stabil­ ize real estate, to check deterioration, obsolescence, and the ravages of the elements to homes. "The home is the most important social institution," Mr. Hallberg con­ cluded. "Even the school comes sec­ ond to it." On Committee H. F.

Stephens, president of the Yakima Valley Schoolmaster's club' trekked to Yaki­ ma last Saturday morning, accompan­ ied by Dr. MacRae, Joe Trainor, and Hartley D. Snyder, to attend the meet­ ing of the club which was held in the Elk's Temple there. The program began at 11 o'clock with an address by Dr. Donald MacRae on "Humanism." Afternoon address­ es included one by Ernest L.

MANY ATTEND PRESIDENT'S BALL Many Students Successful In Getting "Unused" Tickets Seventeen per cent is the school's only share in the tax dollar, in spite of recent legislation affecting school support. In the fall of 1932 the first tax limitation measurement was enacted through initiative. This measure cut the revenues for the common school support $9-303,574. During the 1933 legislature, a plan for reorganization of school finance was adopted. This was known as the "New Barefoot School Boy Law." This plan was modern in its nature, basing the raising of support upon the actual attendance in the various de­ partments of the school system, and definitely committing the-State to the plan of state support for 50 per-cent or moi-e of the current cost of the com­ mon schools. To restore at least a share of the funds lost to the common schools through the limitations of the Forty-Mill Limit Bill, and to equalize the plan of school support, a Business or Occupation Tax was adopted as a temporary tax revenue measure. This tax, devoted entirely to the common schools, actually brought into the current state .school fund for dis­ tribution to the various districts dur­ ing the school year 1933-34, $3,415,- 695.79, which left a net loss in com­ mon school revenue of $5,887,878, on account of the Forty-Mill Limit Law. This reduction-, however,,, in school expenditures between, the year preced­ ing the adoption of the- limitation, law and 1934, equalled, approximately the $9,303,574 loss mentioned in the Pre­ ceding paragraph.. The Business Tax at the present time is bringing in about $500,000 a month. It expires however, by . limitation, July 31, 1935, President's Mother Honored By Tea Munson hall boys were very proud of the showing that they made against the Knights of the Claw. The score was 6 all. Coach Enbody stated that if his boys had trained on Camels in­ stead of Chesterfields they would have made a mtich better showing. Ref­ eree Soldberg was quoted as saying, "d— that d— whistle." This week we will publish the names of those patriotic gentlemen who have paid their dues. They are: Pat Devlin, Howard 'Spalding, Wal ter Crabb, Ernest Wellenbrock Bob Jcse, Gordon Newell, Don Schultz, Frank Herr, Leo Milanowski, John Johnson. Joe Chiotti. Spinoza intelligible to the average per­ son, Dr. Will Durant, the writer who acheived the supposedly impossible in lifting the philosophy of the ancients into the best seller class, will deliver one of his inimitable lectures in the Normal school auditorium here on Feb. 12. Durant!s reputation as a lecturer is possibly as formidable as his reputa­ tion as an author, for, due to his ready wit,- his engaging personality, his command of. the mother tongue, he has become one of the most sought after speakers of the day. Durant is reported to be an unus­ ually keen commentator upon current topics, and possesses the rare facfjlty of interpreting trends in the light of the entire historical perspective. His audience here is promised a diverting, though an extremely thoughtful com­ mentary upon present-day problems. The well-born author's purpose in addressing thinking people throughout the United States is not to deal in ab­ stractions, but to present an insight into contemporary matters in the light of the.best thought of the ages. • His lecture here will be on "A Pro­ gram for America," a subject on which he has pvfclished a book of the same title. In his book he takes the reader briefly on a trip across America, and recalls in rapid summary the recog­ nized deficiencies and assets of our national life. He puts America on trial, and for the plaintiff, he lists the following points: 1 The Melting Pot is not working 2 Our agriculture is bankrupt 3 Our industrial system has broken down 4 Our democracy is a failure 5 Our cultural life is superficial and vulgar 6 Our moral life is in chaos 7 Our civilization is dying. "Such is the American scene," he continues. "Or is there another Am­ erica 1" With a benevolent eye, he presents the case for the defendant. 1 We have faced an unprecedented problem in the freedom and variety of our immigration. 2 We have developed the resources of our soil with unequaled rapidity and energy. 3 We have outdistanced the world in the redu«Jtion of poverty. 4 Democracy has failed in our cit­ ies, but it has succeeded in our lives. 5 Our "materialism" is shared by the world more readily than our gen­ erosity. . , , 6 America has done more for her children than any other nation in his­ tory. 7 Our moral laxity is tf»e passing price-of our industrial transformation. 8 New York . City now i equals any Old World city in mental appetite, ac­ tivity and freedom. After thus arguing the case for both sides, he presents his program for the America of the present which will grow into the America of the fu­ ture. The program is excellent except that it is written in general terms. These' terms will apply to any program at any time for any nation. It is hoped and expected that in his lecture, Dr. Durant will fill in his general terms with details, with concrete plans, and with a concerted movement in the right direction. TRAINOR CONTINUES ASSEMBLY DISCUSSIONS To "Know Thyself" Suggested As Good Start Towards Self-Analysis. "There is," Mr. Trainor said, "am abundance of evidence to point out that all human thinking carried on by a particular individual grows out of and is modified and determined by the basic beliefs which he holds." With great assurance we hold to the idea that our modes of thinking- are in­ trinsically valid and reliable. This cocksureness modifies our speech and behavior and therefore our personali- tis. Mr. Trainor pointed out that Soc­ rates suggested a method of escaping this dilemma when he uttered that enduring phrase: Know Thyself, which, translated into campus lingo would be "Get wise to yourself" or "Get next to yourself." Next week we will print the names of those gentlemen who have been a bit forgetful, so pay up to Frank Herr, you fellows, and keep your name off the black list. John Kerby underwent an operation for the removal of his tonsils last Tuesday and is rjow convalescing in the infirmary. i I^IFE INSURANCE IS MY BUSINESS MARTIN C.

Many Normal students joined thej 5600 cities in the United States which participated in celebrating the Presi­ dent's birthday at the second annual President's Ball last Wednesday even­ ing in the Elk's Temple.

Decorations Patriotic The music for. the dance was furn­ ished by the popular Don Richie or­ chestra which plays regularly at the Winter Garden in Yakima. The hall was decorated in the patri­ otic red, white, and blue with the center lights dimmed with red stars and blue bars.

SOL'S SPORTS SLANTS CHENEY PLAYS GOOD BALL VIKINGS DOWN WASHINGTON CHENEY MEETS GONZAGA FUTURE GAMES DISCUSSED WILDCATS GO BARNSTORMING BY DANTE CAPPA In spite of their defeat, the Cheney Savages, proved a real basketball team. Not only did they provide the most thrill­ ing competition of thfe season, but their sec­ ond half rallies demonstrated great pow­ er. Had they solved the secret of the W. S. N. S defense, they might have tallied over 50 points. They displayed plenty of sportsmanship throughout, too. Over- confidence plus bad luck on the part of Re- bensdorf, clever guard, on his long shot specialty, kept Cheney down in the first half. The Cats fin­ ally showed their true colors by the hustling, characteristic of clashes with Cheney Normal. The next game will be well worthwhile for those who may motor to Cheney. Tri-Normal News — Bellingham showed real improvement in down­ ing the U. of W. Frosh 30-26, last. week. Fitzer and Vandergriend are flashing much better ability. The Cheney Savages will play a ser­ ies "with Gonzaga U. soon. The Whit­ man missionaries seem afraid to meet them, in spite of the good drawing power of (both teams, this season. Cheney will lose Peterson and Hel­ ton at the close of the season, 'but Da- nekas and Porter will make Cheneyites forget ' their predecessors. Eustace looks like a brilliant prospect at cen­ ter his improvement has been a fea­ ture of the season. • Cheney's court may prove a handicap to long shot artists, by virtue of its low-hanging beams. This trouble even affected Cheney last Saturday. Cheney is almost invincible on their own floor. News of Future Wildcat Opposition —Pacific Lutheran apparently lost lit­ tle iby. the loss of Moe, high scoring forward, who has rung up 105 count- ters in-11- games. Sollie has replaced him with practically equal ability, their 46-33-triumph over Y. J. C. prov­ ed that. The Victoria Blue Ribbons have shown effectively in close games with Seattle Northwest league, teams of similar calibre to Gil- mour's. I he College of Puget Sound defeat­ ed Columbia U. (i nrtland) by 30-26 and also copped a return encounter 36-24. WHO'S WHO IN BASKETBALL JOHN HOLL Tall center, who has sparked the Cats to victory on several occasions this year, and was one of the main­ stays at center last year. He hails from Anacortes, Washington, but has itad no prep varsity experience. He played as an understudy to Dong Ha- aey, in 1932. This lad has shown re­ markable improvements this year. JOE BERNARDSKI A hard fighting guard, who has lielped to bolster second string play this season. He is one of the Ibig rea­ sons why Nick's quintets have stem­ med Pacific and Cheney rallies. He was a numeral winner for Shelton toigh school in '32 and '33. This is his first year of college ball, and a good 'future lies in store for him.

"Fatigued." one was heard- to cry, "why we don't know the meaning of it, that is—not much we don't." A few technical ^hanges were made, and play was shortly aigain in order. The second half was an even doser contest the Sophs bringing their hith­ erto languid score up to within two of the Frosh's. The final score was 18 to 20 in favor of the Frosh. That score required pretty accurate and close checking, and that, incidentally, is the criteria of a good 'game. Next Saturday at 2:00 a game be­ tween the Frosh and Juniors is sched­ uled. Everyone come out either for physical or moral support. Don't come for physical support, however, without a written heart ok from the nurse. That's all. See you next Saturday.

This was clearly demonstrated last Saturday evening, when the Wildcats upset all advance dope by defeating the Cheney Savages. Tri-Normal fav­ orites, 34-32, in perhaps the most thril­ ling game of the current season. At times, the game degenerated into a wild scramble, out of which sensation­ al goal tosses emerged. An overflow crowd witnessed the torrid spectacle. Cheney drew first blood by virtue of gift tosses by Kerns and Rebensdorf. Ralph Sill evened the cfeunt at 2-2, by a beautiful long shot, from near the center circle. Then, paced by Sill's sensational shooting, the Cats began to beat the Savages at their own game, by sinking gols from outside Cheney's defense. They drew into a 13-4 lead, at which point, the reserves were sent in. Playing an equally brilliant game, the second team maintained an 18-7 lead at the midway point. In the second half the locals hit a brief stride, only to fade away for the remainder of the third quarter. Reb- COLLEGE SPORTS GOSSIP FROM EVERYWHERE ensdorf, Kerns and Peterson came in­ to their own with some neatly exe­ cuted scoring plays, to draw up to within two points, at 26-24. Then pandemonium broke loose. The Wildcats surged into a four point lead on a goal by Denslow and Cheney re­ taliated by a clever ruse by Peterson. The audience went literally crazy. Both teams appeared a bit panic-stricken, as the locals strove valiantly to hold their lead. Sill's goal gave Ellensburg a 34-30 lead on a neat toss from the side. With a trifle over two "minutes to go, the Savages checked viciously in the Cats' backyard, with Peterson again breaking away. An excitement- crazed crowd leaped to their feet as the final gun found the Cats in pos­ session of a well earned .34-32 triumph. The Savages seemingly over-confi­ dent in the first half, snapped back to life in the second half to outscore the locals 25-16 and to insure a thrilling return game at Cheney, later in the month. Sills, aoe guard, starred for the felines with 11 counters while Pet­ erson and Eustace sparked Cheney with 11 and 9, respectively. Nick almost caught a tartar in the first scheduled basket ball tilt of his five^game barnstorming trip. The Pa­ cific Lutheran College Gladiators rose up in their might Tuesday and gave the Wildcats the scare of their lives. The score at the end of a whirlwind overtime period was 20-19 in the Fe­ line's favor. Playing on the Parkland maple be­ fore a record home crowd, the state Junior College champions uncorked a dazzling offensive attack that theat- ened to smother the Teachers. Fine shooting Iby Sill and Sesby sav­ ed the day for the Cats, however tie- ing up the score in the closing minutes of the game, and emerging from the overtime period, victors by the narrow margin of one foul conversion. This is the second defeat the Cats have handed Coach Cliff Olsen's boys this season. Two weeks ago the Blue and Gold met them on the student pa­ vilion court here, and dropped another very close game. ASSEMBLY TO GIVE FOOTBALL AWARDS Games Scheduled With P. L. C., Bel- lingham, Victoria, U. of B. C., and U. of W. Frosh. Coach Leo Nicholson left with nine of his basketeers Monday evening on an extended tour of the Northwest. On this trip games are scheduled with Pacific Lutheran College, Bellingham, Victoria Blue Ribbons. British Colom­ bia U., and the U. of Washington Frosh. Tuesday afternoon, they clash with the Lptherans, in order that they may reach Bellingham that evening, and get sufficient rest for the following evening's encounter with the Vikings. The next encounter will find the Wildcats squaring off against the Bri­ tish Columbians, following which, they will return to Seattle, for a skirmish with the Husky Frosh. They termin­ ate their tour with a game against an outstanding independent team, the Vic­ toria Blue Ribbons. Normalites Favored A comparison of records makes the Normalites favorites to sweep the ser­ ies. Ellensburg already has 'beaten three of the fore-mentioned teams iby deciiivs margins. The U. of W. frosh have not fared particularly well aganist Tri-Normal opposition, of late, dropping decisions to Cheney, 44-23, and to Bellingham 30-26. The only team that cannot ibe judged on a com­ parative basis is the Victoria team, but the Ribbons have shown North­ west league independents stiff oppo­ sition. Those leaying with Nipholson were Sill. Holl, Denslow, Hicks, Hadley, Denny, Burnett, Marks, and Sesfcry, playera, and iFotheringdll, manager. They return Sunday to meet C. P. S., in a double header the following week end. NEXT TUESDAY With the second week of the Intra- •Jural r4e over, the Stevedores re­ mained at the head of the pack by virtue of wins over the Cosmopolitans and the Scorpions. Hcfwenr, the two - rival teams have, respectively, gives tike Stevedores their two losses, and fn • tare games, between them will be -watched with interest. They were hob •d out by scores of 13 to 11 and 15 to 4. The Stevedores play a nice brand of Stall «act are very* effective at working ifte ball through the defense. Good team work has played an important part in their wins, and their blocking tactics are clever. The Cosmopolitans, in second place, are an up and coming team, and prom­ ise to (give "the levee workers" a bat­ tle for first place. An impressive gallery has turned out for the games, and each team has its individual rooters. Standings STEVEDORES .. COStyOPOLITAl WHARFRATS ..

SOLBERG, UNABLE TO WHISTLE TWEET "Goin' swimmin' tonight..." "Swimming? .... Woman, you're crazy! You'll not only catch your death of damp foolishness but you'll most likely wake up and find yourself guz­ zling water to beat several things." Expressions of similar hue and oth­ ers of even Stronger iSfeffiTfces were kurled right "'and left, forward and backward preceding the W. A. A. swim party at tfce-Y. M. C. A. Friday night. (We thought seriously of em­ ploying Munson tffeek and using gas jets for heating "poipeses.") At any rate, the "crazy women'" did go swimming and the so-terirted "dampness" didn't affect any of them —I hope! The evening was one of hilarious n laxity. The po.l was one seething mast of funmakers. Novelty "Diving board stunts under the leadership of Miss Gove were much enjoyed. They constituted nothing exceptionally com­ plicated, outside of imitating a froggy woggy and a fancy dancer, which, in­ cidentally, stumped most of the per­ formers. To top it off, candy bars and dough­ nuts. not to mention the hot showers were guzzled and immensely enjoyed by all. (P. S.: The water wasn't anything to get hot about.) HUSKIES WANT GAME THE UNIVERSITY OF WASH­ INGTON- FOOTBALL TEAM IS POINTING FOR A GAME WITH TfiE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII NEXT SEASON. Chuck Frankland, athletic director of the Huskies, is using the old noodle in this matter. • The Islanders take their foot/ball seriously and are very willing to shell out good American dollars to wacth their boys perform. During the season just past the Ha- waiians upset the University of Cali­ fornia Bears two successive Saturdays •by 26 to 14 and 13 to 0 scores. HOCKEY POPULAR Hockey, called the world's most thrilling sport, is gaining a foothold in the Northwest this year. Last week the University of British Columbia dropped a hot 2-1 battle to the Wash­ ington Huskies, after taking a 4-3 j game on the Ice Arena the previous week end. A play-off is in order now. At present the University awards only a minor letter to her hockey stars (Their W bears the bar-sinister of crossed hockey clubs ) • but fans hope to develop the sport to major rat­ ing in the future. INTRAMURAL Some good work is being done in in­ tramural basketball here this year. With material debeloped here and Nicholson's strong Frosh squad, the Normal shouldn't have to worry for sometime as to hoop prospects. Our hunch for today that any oaf who states that volley ball is a pansy's game should get into some of the red hot tournaments staged in Nicholson's plays and gamed class. WANT GOLF With petitions for various sports in order, Paul Soil and Leo Milanowski, yell king extraordinary and pole vaul- ter of note, are advocating a golf team for this spring. Here is one sport say they, which will be self support­ ing In a hilarious opener to last week's Cheney-Ellensburg game, the Munson hall basketball team tied the strong Knights of the Claw aggregation, 6-6. The game was rough and tough thruout, and many substitutions were made. Referee Speed Sotberg had some difficulty making hiswhistle go pkweet and in handling the boys who were out for blood. Most of the crowd came early to sese this match and were not disap­ pointed. JIM'S BARBER SHOP PHONE BLACK 4SS1 FOR APPOINTMENT JIM E.
