All that is now needed is a crown of thorns for the top of the Administration building, a law to make the people of this state for­ get the name "Normal," and a few artistictally-inclined students to draw some clever designs for the school pennants and banners. Then we will be sitting on top of the colleee world. * * * * AH, SPRING. The sun is shining, the snow is melting, the wind is be­ ginning to howl in a lonesome, mourn­ ful way that smacks of spring. The birds are in the trees, the enchanting brooks are beginning to babble in their sweet, hushed understandable (?) tones. All the lads and lassies are begin­ ning to take a new lease on life. Or are they? It is hard to tell because so many apparently react to spring and do other heavenly things in such • peculiar ways. Some have lost com­ pletely their desire for delicious, tempting diihes of food, while others have developed a voracious appetite that would scare a sword-swallower. • A few are to be seen going around, dragging their chins on the ground, their minds on ... on ... oh shucks, • why beat around the bush—on love! Yes, on love. That's the reason for all the deep, dreamy sighs of content- ment, the contagious loss of appetite, • .the aimless wanderings of the mind, the insatiable desire for an unknown something arising 'from an Unknown ailment. And to make things much, much worse, the boys are slipping. The : girls • aren't satisfied with this year's crop. If you doubt this, inquire around and see for yourself. You will discover that some of the girls have even gone so far as to start . . clipping out the magazine picturesof aristocratic, sleek-looking gentlemen. A present-day hero is the picture^ of that handsome young brute adorning the Vaseline Hair Tonic advertise­ ments There are a few other choice ones, notably the indorsers of certain brands, of tooth, paste, but the Hair Tonic Han is the man of the hour today. He's not so bad either, worse luck. So boys, rise and shine! * * * * SEVERAL CHINESE cities have started a plan of getting rid of drug addicts that would raise quite a furor if attempted here in the United States. The Chinese just politely round up a group of dope fiends, pass sentence on them, and shoot them. Not all is actually done that they say they do, but nevertheless it is an attempt on the part of China to rid itself of one of the worst evils that could ever be­ set a country, whether civilized or barbarian. The United States is confronted with a similar problem that also urgently needs a practical solution, but it would be solved after the man­ ner of the Chinese, A plan has been introduced into the legislature of this state that is of doubtful efficiency in solving the problem. The strenuous objections to the plan show that it is very hard to tell just what can be done to remedy the situation because no one really knows enough about it to be able to get to the bottom of it and then clean it up. So all that most of us can do • if just to see to it that we don't get involved in the trouble. The Off-Campus Club banquet, one of the maljor events sponsored by women students of the school, will be held attthe New York Cafe Saturday, February 27. Una Cree has organ­ ized a very different and smart pro­ gram. An ultra-smart floor show will be given between courses of the dinner. Some of the feature num­ bers will be a pianologue by Dorothy Moberg and tap dances by Elizabeth Sandmeyer and Jack Mero. Mary Jane Getty will play several popular selections on the piano. There will be several surprise numbers composed of newly discovered talent among Off- Campus girls. Ernestine Aldrich'is newly found orchestra will play Tables will be banked with flowers interspersed with cellophane and cen­ tered with candles. The dining room will be softly lighted by candles only. Virginia Otto and Betty Crimm, both Off-Campus girls, who have dropped school for the rest of the quarter, will be special guests. Among the honored guests will be, Miss Moore, Miss Wentworth, Mrs. McConnell, Miss Puckett and Mrs. Holmes, Dean of Women Students. A large attendance is expected. Off-Campus girls are reminded of a surprise for some lucky girl which the council plans to announce at the banquet. Notice will be. posted for girls to sign if they can come. MRS. ROOSEVELT SEES HOPE FOR WORLD PEACE THIRTEENTH ANNUAL CHILDREN'S CONCERT SPONSORED BY KAPPA PI Cornish School Children to Assist Training School Friday Evening, February 26, in CoUeg#*v't - Auditorium ' ' NOTICE PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24—"The aroused interest, of young people in the building up of international friendships reveals a real hope of world peace," was the recent state­ ment of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, speaking at a luncheon sponsored jointly by the Emergency Peace Cam­ paign and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, in Washington. Declaring that young people of to­ day—college men and college women —will go further than did her gen­ eration on the road to permanent world.peace, she said: "I have observed , that young people today are willing to, consider not onl: their own. point of .view but that o: other persons who do not think. as they do." Mrs. Roosevelt cited the meetings that were held, in Dutchess County, N Y., under the auspices of the Youth Section of the Emergency Peace Campaign last summer, several several sessions of which she at­ tended. "If the young people of today are willing to give of themselves as those young people are doing," she said, "then I think we may regard that fact as a very hopeful sign. Cer­ tainly, when I was young, none of us would have thought of doing such a tbing." The meetings to which she referred were staged by young volunteers who were placed in the rural areas of the country "for eight weeks last summer by the Emergency Peace Campaign. They worked at producing plays, stag­ ing demonstrations, holding forums, speaking in churches, young people's societies, and pther places, in a con­ certed effort to make more articulate the will to peace existing in America. "They have already gone further than many of us," Mrs. Roosevelt stated. "The best we can do for them is to give them all the help me can. They may one day achieve what we have only wanted to achieve." PRESS CLUB INITIATES 13 NEW MEMBERS STATE THEATER TO PRESENT NO MORE FRONTIER The Press Club held their initiation of new members Wednesday night. After initiation ceremonies were over the ^ members were entertained at' H dessert supper at Ledbetter's. Each new member was commissioned to bring a friend to fold Criers this issue. Among the new members are: Mary Colwell Ruth Ganders Dick Ross Zola Ldng •Helen Sablocki Anne Tierney Barbara Pinney Bess Howe Beatrice Eschbach Prater Hogue Charles Trainor Bill Carr * Leroy Breckon Plans were announced for a meet­ ing to be held Thursday at 7:30 in A-309. The Press Club Review will be the main topic of discussion. All members are urged to attend. A zoologist finds that about 8,000 species of animal life have been re­ corded in Palestine. The Washington State Theater, which was in Ellensburg last Novem ,ber with the. very fine production The "Cdirtgdy of Errors, will be with us again March 10 in No More Fron tier. This play No More Frontier is a story of the Northwest pioneers. It was written by Talbot Jennings, a native of Idaho who grew up with a small town very like the onerabonf which he writes in his play. % It is a sweeping colorful, lusty delineation of the people and things that made up the old west and started the new. It covers the period from about 1865 to 1932, taking the Bailey family from old Flint who founded the line to young Flint who is pioneer­ ing in the skies as an airplane pilot. It ends with the fourth generation of "Grandfather, do you think we'll ever find a way to reach the stars?" Tickets for "No More Frontier" will be 35 cents for Normal School students. They will be obtainable from Jack Mero, Dorothy Moeberg, Elizabeth Sandmeyer, and Ruth El- dredge. The play will be presented March 10 at the Junior High School auditorium. WOODWIND TRIO WELL RECEIVED The Woodwind Trio from the Seat­ tle Symphony Orchestra presented an interesting and varied program to an enthusiastic audience on Thursday evening, February 18. The trio was composed of Frank Horsfall, flute Whitney Tustin, oboe, and Ronald Phillips, clarinet. The trio was as­ sisted by Gladys Bezeau Phillips, who accomapnied them. The program opened with a Suite by J. Amborg, This was followed by Sonata—Opus 166 by Saint-Saens played as an oboe solo by Whitney Tustin. The oboe is not generally thought of as a solo in strument, but Mr. Tustin's playing of this sonata proved that it should be. Mr. Ronald Phillips followed with the Sonata—Opus 120—No. 1 by Brahms. The clarinet is another instrument not used often enough as a solo in­ strument. This number was followed by a Concertino—Opus 107, by Cham- inade and played as a flute solo by Mr. Frank Horsfall. The trio then played an unaccompanied group con­ sisting of Presto by Haydn, Adagio by Mozart, and an arrangement by Whitney iSistin of Beethoven's Min­ uet in G. The audience was so en­ thusiastic about the group that the trio played an encore Music Box com­ posed by Whitney Tustin. The last group consisted of an Impromptu by Schubert and Rimsky - Korsagov's famous Flight of the Bumble Bee. The entire concert was an enjoyable one, and those who attended enjoyed it imhensely. MUSIC GROUPS ENTERTAIN PROFESSOR JOSEPH TRAINOR VICTIM OF UNUSUAL ACCIDENT Impact of Severe Fall On Ice Ignites Two Combs in Instructor's Hip Pocket We wish to invite the members of the Ellensburg Normal School to the "First Annual Ball" sponsored by Camp Taneum. It will be held in the "Elks temple" Friday, March 5 Music will be rendered by that well known and highly rated "Wendall Kinney's eight piece orchestra." Every arrangement has been made to take this the best. We shall appre­ ciate your attendance. Admission will be 50 cents gents ladies free. Entertainment Committee in behalf of Co. 4771. COLLEGE PLAY IN KHQ BROADCAST BAND ENTERTAINS TO RAISE FUNDS Every Sunday from 3:30 to 3:45, over Station KHQ, Spokane, a news commentator reviews the sports events, educational advancements, current happenings, drama and social functions of the colleges, junior col­ leges, and normal schools of Eastern Washington, and Northern Idaho. Last Sunday, February 20, the news commentator told about the produc­ tion, "Elizabeth the Queen," which was recently produced in our auditor- fom with such great success. The Pep Band under the direction of Jim Smith entertained the student] body in an assembly Tuesday in an j effort to raise funds to send the band j to Cheney. j Ham Montgomery played a trumpet solo and Austin Burton played a piano solo as part of the program. The Pep Band also played several num­ bers. Enough funds were raised to finance the band trip to Cheney this week end. Discuss Name Change Dr. McConnell, Mr. Whitjjey, and Professor Stephens, all discussed the significance of the proposition to change the name of the school. A bill to this effect has been passed by the state legislature and is now await­ ing the governor's signature. Archaeologists digging at the Fo­ rum of Minturnae, Italy, found burned ruins of a temple and shops, and coins dating up to 191 B. C., thus ver­ ifying the statement by Livy that lightning' struck the Forum in 191. Ellensburg's most peculiar phe­ nomenon took place shortly after 9 o'clock, Thursday morning, February 18, when Professors Joseph Trainor and A. J. Mathews were en route from their 8 o'clock classes to Ledbetter's Confectionery. As the two were about to cross the street, Mr. Trainor, un­ fortunately losing his equilibrium, suffered a severe fall on the icy walk. As he regained his feet, 31 r. Mathews was astonished at the heavy cloud of dark green smoke which was escaping from a hole in his companion's trou­ sers. Upon notification of the status quo, Mr. Trainor jumped into a nearby snowdrift faster than greased light­ ning. In a split second, Professor Mathews was also in the drift deplet­ ing Trainer's pockets of their con tents in a desperate attempt to locate the apparent fire hazard which was camouflaged by an elusive screen of green smoke. The fire, however, was extinguished, but immediate search for the cause of the disaster led to no avail. As a result of the ordeal, Professor Trainor suffered severe bums over an area of one square foot. The cause of the accident was not discovered until an hour later at which time the instructor was being treated for his injuries at a local clinic. Reaching for his comb, Mr. Trainor discovered not only its ab­ sence, but also found that the entire pocket and his underwear were de- By Austin M. Burton stroyed in the fire. The instructor was positive that he had no matches in his hip pocket, but inasmuch as his comb was deficient in teeth, he was forced to purchase a new one, but had failed to discard the old one. Upon official investigation of the case, Dr. Lind of the College Science department submits the following evi­ dence. "The impact and friction of the fall ignited the two combs, the combustion of which was accentuated by the temperature and the enclosure of the pocket." Dean Holmes in his statement to the press says that this perplexing situation is "nothing short of self- incendiarism." Dr. MacRae states that he was totally unaware of the fact that an instructor could be self- combustible. Mr. Barto claims that "No one in the future can justly ac­ cuse Mr. Trainor with lack of 'FIRE.'" Last, but not least, Pro­ fessor Stephens concludes the investi­ gation by ascertaining that no "ethi­ cal" person should own more than one comb. However, the findings are not com­ plete without a report from Mr. Trainor in regard to the paradox in which he figured. The professor re­ spectfully submitted the following: Pocket burnie Sternie hurtie Celluloid combs Done me dirty. An assembly was given in College Auditorium for the pupils of the train­ ing school. The program was jgiven entirely by the Music Department of the Normal School. The program opened with an organ group played by Miss Davies. The selections were chosen to demonstrate the different qualities of the organ. She played a Bach Chorale, to illustrate the true organ tone, a cradle song which show­ ed the soft quality of the organ tone, and a nocturne, Bells Through the Trees to illustrate the chimes. The String Ensemble under the direction ot Mr. Francis J. Pyle followed with a group consisting of two dances by Bach, a minuet and a gavotte, and an Irish cradle song arranged by Pochon for string ensemble. Esnestine Aid- rich, accompanied by Mae Bell played as a cornet solo Wagner's Evening Star from Tannhauser. This was followed by a clarinet solo played by Betty Koch and accom­ panied by Mr. Ernst. She played the Song of India as her solo. The A Capella under the direction of Mr. Hartley Snyder followed with two songs Katherine's Wedding Day and Emitte Spiritum. A violin solo by Arvo Kaiyala who played Berceuse from Jocelyn followed, and the last was a group of two piano numbers played by Mae Bell a Chopin Valse and a Russian dance. The thirteenth annual Children's Concert, sponsored by Kappa Pi, will be held tomorrow evening, Friday, February 26. The program, which is to start at 7:30, will be held in the College Auditorium. This program will be the first of its kind ever to be held in the new auditorium. As on previous occasions two tal­ ented children from the Cornish School of Seattle will assist the El­ lensburg children in the program. The two Cornish School children are Cherie Sepprell, a talented girl who will play some of her own composi­ tions, and Caroline Grover, a young dancer, who has pleased local audi­ ences when she was here in 1934. Cherie Sepprell is 11 years of age, and has been the pupil of Martha Sarkett, head of the Children's De­ partment of the Cornish School, for the last six years. Her tuition has included solfege, eurythmic, music education, and piano study. Caroline Grover is 14 years of age, and has been a pupil of Cornish for four years. • During her first year at the school she studied dancing with Lore Deja, who came from the Mary Wigman Studios in Dresden, Germany. For the last three years she has been dancing with Willard Lathrop, and studies drama and mUsic at the school. The concert this year promises .to be of unusual interest. The children, under the direction of Mr. Snydr and other members "of the Music Depart­ ment, are contributing both song and dance numbers which are based ..on the same theme. These rhythmic activities are all creative for" in­ stance, the first grade children give some bird songs and then in their rhythmic activity show how they feed the winter birds. The fourth grade has been studying about Holland, and their rhythmic activities are typical of that country. The sixth grade will -sing, some: old American songs and do some interesting dances. Mr. Pyle's violin choir is contributing a number to the program. Th program is as follows: 1. Chorus—Morning Kindergarten. 2. Song and Rhythm Activity— First Grade. 3. Rhythm Activity — Afternoon Kindergarten. 4. Song' and Rhythm Activity— Second and Third Grades, -v* 5. Training School Orchestra. - 6. Song—Patty Pattillo. 7. Song and Rhythmic^ Activity of Holland—Fourth Grade. 8. Piano Solo—Erleen Anderson. 9. Chorus—Washington School. . 10. Violin Choir—Edison School. 11. Piano—Cherie Sepprell, Corn­ ish School, Seattle. 12. Country Dances, Old and New —Fifth and Sixth Grades. 13. Violin Solo—Donald Helfar. 14. Dance—Caroline Grover, Corn­ ish School, Seattle. 15. Piano—Cherie Sepprell. 16. Dance—Caroline Grover. The price of admission will be 30c for adults 20c for Normal School and high school students, and 15c for children. The members of Kappa Pi have been busy during the past weeks preparing for this concert, and they feel that the concert will be much enjoyed by the college and towns' people. CAMERA CRAFT EXHIBITS PHOTOS Some of you may have already noticed the photographic exhibit in the hall of the Ad building. This exhibit is the fourth in a series of traveling photographic salons which is sponsored by the Camera Craft magazine. All pictures are prize winners of San Francisco in the monthly com­ petition held by the above mentioned magazine and came from famous photographers both in the advanced and amateur classes. Ten prints each month, five in each class are selected by a jury of five judges and are used to form a new salon every six months. Captions pasted on the mountings are clippings taken from Camera Craft and are written by the editor. To thoroughly appreciate the prints one should read the comments and data with each picture These, salons are exhibited in three places only in the state of Washing­ ton, namely, Seattle, Spokane anc EUensbarg. -• /- . - 6 STUDENTS TAKING ORGAN LESSONS Everyone has noticed the organ in the auditorium of the new Arts and College Auditorium, and almost every­ one has heard it played by now, but did you know that there are six en­ thusiastic students who are taking lessons on the organ this quarter? Ruth Beckman, Dorothy Bramlett, Esther Tjossem, lone Zamzow, Kappy Riggs, and Walter Bull are all enjoy­ ing organ lessons this quarter. All six have had piano before, taking up the organ, but they are just beginning their work with the organ. It is necessary to have some piano work before taking up the organ. The more piano background a person has the faster he can learn the organ. This quarter organ lessons are $15 a quarter and the rental of the instru­ ment for an hour a day except Satur­ day and Sunday is $10, but the price may be changed next quarter. Those taking organ lessons find it well worth the price and are very enthus­ iastic about the work. A West Virginia University statis­ tician with a "hydraulic complex" has calculated that all of the institution's buildings use about 3,000,000 gallons of water monthly. • • * • Lehigh University chemistry stu­ dents break more than 14,000 test tubes every year.

Hinch WOULD YOU BE WILLING? « tJhe D^an of Women is very justly concerned with the problem of an overcrowded social calendar and the ex­ cessive participation by some students in extra curricular j1^68jW e same time trying to carry a full study load and perhaps work park time. But how to avoid this state of affairs? The Dean of Women has made some excellent and practical sugges­ tions. By acting on them all student ^activity could be carried to and by a greater number of students, each with a smaller load. It is possible that this would give rise to a school spirit other than a rah-rah-enthusiasm at athletic games—school spirit in a truer and a more dignified tone. _ And it might allow time for a little honest study, a few more high grades, and perhaps eight hours sleep. The professors would probably faint dead away if tjiey got through a whole lecture without great hosts of student yawns and snores. —ME. OPEN FORUM IN HONOR OP GEORGE WASHINGTON Our school was the only one in the state of Washing- toll which kept open its classrooms and requested its stu­ dents to pay homage to the "Father of Our Country" by diligently pursuing their studies. And good old George was even spared any eulogizing that may have properly been done in a well planned, entertaining assembly. Perhaps it may be well said that this school is dis­ tinctive in that its students must be in classes on Wash­ ington's birthday in order to stay abreast of the academic standards of all other schools. Can it be that some power is inferring a lack of ability to learn quickly on the part of our students. Heaven forbid! —M E.

OPEN FORUM (Continued) J: " Did you know that the Woodwind Trio concert Thursday evening was spoiled for many people by the almost • -incessant talking of students who sat under the 'balcony ? Talking while music ' is being played' is thfe height cf ill breeding. In the first place it shows an utter insensibility on the part of the individual toward music and a disregard to improve one's artistic taste, and in the second place it shows the Tack of consideration for the persons who may want to hear the music and enjoy the concert. Our new college auditorium has remarkable acoustical properties. These same properties which make music so beautiful also causes dis­ turbances on the part of the audience to be unusually annoying. When con duct on the part of certain students causes , a lady in this town to say "The concert would have been lovely if we hadn't been annoyed by talking, it is time for us to correct: our. con­ cert etiquette. A. D. BESSY, of Rochester, N. Y., has an unusual hobby of collecting cartoons from newspapers. His col­ lections number more than 4,000 car­ toons, all neatly pasted in scrap books. To the Editor: Hectic Activities!—(Dances, sports nights, play practices, basketball games, Women's League mixers, pep assemblies, club meetings). A crowd­ ed Social Calendar. Our harrassed student body. These spectres haunt me. I behold this hardworking stu­ dent er that vainly trying to run a three-ringed circus center ring, bal­ ancing a heavy study schedule on the end of his nose right side ring dash­ ing from center to walk the tight rope of extra-curricular activities left side ring dashing back to try to tame the economic lion by working by the hour or the job, in private homes for board and room, in kitchen and dining room, in offices, labora­ tories, library, on janitor beats, in jobs, in short, "east side, west side, and all around the town." Last year a group of students and faculty' met and considered the fol­ lowing propositions. Nothing came of them except an extra evening hour in the library, and the senior sponsor­ ship of the Homecoming dance. Prob- tbly some of them may mean more to you now. 1. How often should clubs meet? Is not one meeting a month suffi­ cient ? 2. Should classes be responsible for certain school events (i. e., might it be a good suggestion, say for the senior class to sponsor the Homecom­ ing dance?) 3. Should the first event of the year be a welcoming PARTY, with stunts, plays, games, songs, and gen­ eral reception, instead of a welcoming dance ? 4. How can class finances be better handled? 5. Should there be more than one all-school event a week, including in this event plays, programs, etc.? 6. Should there be more than one formal a quarter? 7. What diversified social events might be used, inexpensive to finance, interesting to all, available here, to substitute for dancing occasionally? 8. Should club membership be limited? That is, should one person belong to ONE club only? (In "addi­ tion, of course, to residence groups or larger groups.) 9. Is there any relation between school spirit and a crowded social cal­ endar ? 10. If the library were open one week end night, Friday or Saturday, would that help the whole general situation ? Recently this office received from Dean Moffett of Virginia a question­ naire, on the subject of activities in relation to increased-government jobs on the campuses, lessening of interest on the part of students generally in activities, and increased burdens on the part of a few student leaders. Her letters inferred that in teachers col­ leges and normal schools, where the methods and, teacher' practice courses are necessarily heavy time users, and where many of the school population are wage earners the burden of school activities is proving too great. At\ present this office is writing to vari­ ous normal schools and teachers col­ leges throughout the country to try to find out what calendar activity programs are being adapted to meet these conditions. We hope to have some definite suggestions from our, inquiries. In the meantime here are a few more questions, in addition to or re­ peating the ones brought up last year, that we might be considering: 1. Should a student belong to more than one small campus departmental or activity club? (In addition, of course, to the larger general clubs, as the residence clubs, namely: Munson, Sue Lombard, Kamola, and Off- Campus, and Women's League.) 2. Should there be organizations by classes? (Personally I believe that class organizations were obsolete as long ago as those dim prehistoric days when I was a member of the Junior Prom committee. If they were done away with would you favor an organs zation for those graduating, whether juniors or seniors, and another for all new students?) 3. Again, should there be more than one major event each week end, with the exception of course, of Homecom­ ing week end, freshman week, and Mothers' Day? 4. Should there be more than one formal a quarter? 5. Would it be possible to keep the curriculum hours free from 4-6 every afternoon for play practices, orchestra rehearsals, dance drama rehearsals? With your interest and support, I hope that we may be able to work out a more evenly balanced schedule of activities. Thank you for this op­ portunity to present this question again to the Campus Crier Forum. Sincerely, Margaret Coffin Holmes, Dean of Women. Dean Willis L. Uh}, of the Educa­ tion Department, University of Wash­ ington, is attending the annual meet­ ing of the Department of Superin­ tendents at New Orleans. Dean Uhl is appearing on the program for the National Society for the Study of Education, one of the 15 allied organi­ zations of the department. On looking over the calendar for the schedule of classes I noticed that this quarter ends on Thursday, March 18, and classes begin on Tuesday, March 23. Now this will only give about three days for the out of town students to spend at home between quarters. Late classes or exams will probably keep many students from starting before Friday morning. Some students live at distances so far from here that they will be unable to spend their vacations at home between quar­ ters. Two or three days will just be a matter of turning around and start­ ing back to school for many. Would it upset the schedule too much to have an additional few days for a spring vacation between quar­ ters ? This would break the monotony of starting classes so soon and enable many of the unfortunates to have a few enjoyable days with their home folks. I really believe after a hard schedule of study and work we owe this to ourselves and our mothers and fathers. The students would feel more like going to work when they get back for the spring quarter. We do not need more than a couple of days extra, which will enable stu­ dents from various parts of the state and elsewhere to get to their re­ spective homes. This a number will be unable to do, due to the present schedule. When a body only gets home two or three times a year a few days would be a real inspiration for the coming quarter. After all life is short. There will be but a few years till many of us will not have folks at home to visit. I am sure the students would be very glad to make up the time at the end of the quarter What do you think of the idea ? —Joe Smoke. Campus And Off Campus KAMOLA (aJtiiiMiimuimiiitiii iniii0 On the night of February 18, 1937, the anniversary of her entombmfent, Rosylyne de Vries-Smythe, for the first time, succeeded in getting out of the room. She wandered up and down the halls, searching for her own room. She did not find it, and with many sighs, she retired to the rooin in which she had died so long before. Thus the tale ended. But next year Rosylyne will return. Beware, foir she will return. The Broadway High School, Seattle, was designated after a famous French palace, the Petet Pallais. * * * * Students at the North Central High school, Spokane, are forbidden to study shorthand ,and mathematics in the school library because of the crowded conditions. The Ghost of Kamola "Thou shalt not be aftaid for the terror by night,, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness." Appar­ ently a few of the sleeping beauties in Old Kamola did not have this as­ surance in mind about 12 o'clock last Thursday night, for when the "Ghost of Kamola" walked abroad, howls of agony and hiccoughs of despair is­ sued from various rooms. One fair damsel, rudely awakened out of her slumber by a beam of light and the startling apparition in the doorway of her boudoir, screamed wildly,. "Get the hell out of here with that thing!" Young ladies whose growth had suddenly been impaired by the ap­ pearance of the white figure, made complaints to the authorities of the hall the next day. Young women, if you have lived so long in Kamola Hall without hearing the tale of the ro­ mantic Rosylyne de Vries-Smythe, your education has been very sadly neglected. Rosylyne was a beautiful, glamor­ ous, gorgeous blond of 18 dewy sum­ mers, and she lived in Kamola Hall when she went to school here, 'way back when. She was loved by many a gallant young blade on the campus. One Tuesday evening this glorious creature arrived at Kamola Hall at 10:10. She knew she was liable to excommunication, extradition, and exile, and her pride would not allow her to enter the hall by the front door. So Rosylyne and her suitor of the moment went around the back of Kamola and called up to her room­ mate. Some one put her hesd out of a window and lowered two sheets, by which the fair young lady scaled the wall. When she leaped "over the sill she found herself in an empty room. The door was locked, and keys there were none. Poor, poor Rosylyne! She did not think to remove herself from the room by the way she entered. Days passed. Time marched. And Rosylyne, the lily maid of Kamola, was soon dead. One day, in the fall of 1936, the housemother opened the door of Rosy- lyne's death chamber, and a chilling fear seized "her by the nape of the neck. - She -. shut the door- and fled, without locking it.

OUT OF THE PYRAMIDS WASHINGTON RAILROADS Washington was the last political unit in continental United States to have railroads from the east. This state of affairs was caused by two factors the discovery of gold in Cali­ fornia, and a southern secretary of war, Jefferson Davis. Asa Whitney, George Wilkes, and Stephen Douglas were early advocates of a railroad to the 'Pacific. But 100 years ago our nation was in the midst of a terrific financial and economic depression that was caused in part by specula­ tion in railroad stocks, wildcat banks, and other investments. With this be­ hind them, the moneyed men did not care to invest in a railroad through the thinly populated west. The federal government recognized that a survey was necessary. Fremont said that his exploration trips were for the purpose of finding a suitable route for a railroad. On March 3, 1853 congress oi'dered and financed the surveys. The next year Governor Stevens surveyed the northern route. But the southern route was accepted for the first railroad, and in 1862 con­ gress authorized the " Union Pacific which, with the help of the Central Pacific, was completed in 1869. Wil­ liamson and Abbot surveyed a route from California to central Oregon. Ben Holladay was the guiding force behind the Oregon and California Railroad Company. With the U. P. completed, Washington residents feared that continental railroad con­ struction would not come for a long time. Within the state local construction went ahead rapidly. The first purely Washington road was Dr. Dorsey S. Baker's road from Walla Walla to Wallula. It is said that a bottle of water was used for a level when the survey was made in 1871. The wood used in the ties and rails, the latter were covered with strap iron, was floated down the Yakima river. Baker brought a small engine from Pitts­ burg and when the strap iron rails failed he imported assorted length iron rails from-Wales. By 1874 the road was completed enough to carry wheat and passengers, but was not yet completed to Walla Walla because of the lack of money. Citizens of the town raised $25,000 to complete the roads. It was later sold to the Oregon Steam Navigation Company. The surveys made by Governor Stevens or on his orders were now put in use by Henry Villard and his railroads. Mr. Villard was a German- American who was sent by Holladay's German investors to protect their in­ terests. By working diligently and by quick maneuvering he secured control of the 0. R. & N. Co., formed a pool, and secured control of the N". P., and became president of both roads. The Northern Pacific was first chartered by a Washington Terriu rial legisla­ ture, but was not sanctioned by con­ gress until 1864. The first company built into the Dakotas from Wiscon­ sin, went broke, was reorganized, built into Idaho, and went into the hands oi Villard. He rushed it to comple­ tion. The N. P. first reached the coast by using the O. R. & N. tracks along the Columbia river in 1883. In 18S8 the road was completed through the Yakima canyon, over Stampede pass, and connected to a branch built otit from Tacoma, the village that had won the right to be the western term- ' inus. Seattle was not to be let out, and her citizens had field days on which they started to build a branch line to Tacoma. Other cities followed suit and after a few years the lower Sound area was well furnished "with railroads. The Northern Pacific was the first railroad into Kittitas county, entering by the Yakima Canyon, and via Stampede pass. It built a branch to the Roslyn coal fitlds, which it owned. In the 1890's the Milwaukee was built, and by coming through the southeastern part of the county it served a large farming belt. For a long time it maintained shops in South Cle Elum. James J. Hill's interests built the Great Northern along the far north survey, reaching the coast in 1893. He secured conti-ol of the N. P., and built a new railroad down the Colum­ bia river to compete with Harriman's U. P. Strahorn was instrumental in the building of subsidiary railroads that gave the U. P. a Spokane out­ let. Later he built roads that gave the G. N. tracks to central Oregon and later central California. During the World War he started to build railroads to open up large parts of southern Idaho. Before and during the war the great western railroads either bought out­ right or part interest in many local 1'oads that gave them a thorough cov­ erage of the country. Northwestern "Washington received its first conti­ nental connections by the way of the Canadian railroads. At the present time the state has about 14 different railroads. Besides the regular rail­ roads the state contains many miles of logging railroads. The romance of the railroads lies not only in the building, but in that large human stream that followed the laying of the rails. Hundreds of thousands of people came to the state they built towns', farms, industries, and institu­ tions. The trains could carry the huge crops of wheat from the wheat counties of the southeast. Apples, pears, and other fruits were shipped all over the world from the Yakima and Wenatchee valleys. Kittitas coun­ ty shipped large amounts of hay, cat­ tle, sheep, lumber, logs, and coal. In the short span of about 50 years after the first transcontinental entered the state, a great commonwealth was made out of what was a hundred years ago virgin wilderness. —Ralph Randall.

There were several plays at the University, one at the Repertory Playhouse and one at the Cornish Theater, but due to loyalty to a former alma mater, the latter produc­ tion was the only one I witnessed. The play was Maxim Gorki's "Lower Depths," and it was a well rounded production that did not, as I had ex­ pected, become as morbid a play as the title implies. Goi-ki's characters are rich, and to use an actor's phrase- ology, roles that one can get his teeth into. A good sense of humor and a lack of the typical bemoaning Russian philosophy of life brings the char­ acters above their drab and pitiful existence and one is never bored with the idea of feeling sorry for them. Gorki brought together types from every \yalk of life and placed them in a common environment without allow­ ing the conditions to mar their in­ herent qualities or their philosophy. Hence the play reaches heights of subtle comedy and what tragedy he inserts he does so with finesse. "On the Avenue" The one movie that I saw was the above and if it ever comes to Ellens- burg don't miss it. The publicity bills Madeline Carroll and Dick Powell but if you have an aversion to the latter don't let it mislead you as the Ritz Brothers completely steal the show. These three goofs, who "out Marx" the Marx Brothers will keep you hysterical long enough to pull you through a double feature—and that's saying a lot. Irving Berlin's songs are another added attraction and Madeline Carroll is as beautiful as ever. I am sure it won'jt be long before Hollywood will let loose with a bundle of insanity featuring the Ritz Broth­ ers so just hold your seat and save your wind if your crazy bone is the least bit sensitive.

M THE CAMPUS CRIER Ellensburg Cagers To Tangle With Both Gonzaga And Cheney GOING THE ROUNDS WITH FABIO CAPPA The Mail of the Hour "The man of the hour" is none other than Mel Bunstine, the ace guard of the Wildcat cagers. The Linfield aggregation said Mel was the best hoopster that had played on their court this year and while the Bell- ingham team was taking a shellacking from _ the paws of the Wildcats, overheard a few of the Norsemen say that Mel is one of the finest and most versatile ballplayers the have seen perfol-m this season, and that's saying a lot. Here's an eyeful on Mel Bun­ stine—I hope that Clarence Soukup— sports editor of The Northwest Viking and Lawrence Butzer of Cheney take this in. Since both Cheney and Bellingham have played three conference games and Ellensburg has only played two we will have to forget about the WHO'S WHO DICK WOLTRING Cheney, Bellingham game last Satur­ day night to give the Wildcat eager and even break. Bunstine is leading Sh the tri-normal race for individual scoring with 24 points. He has the most points scored in one conference game than any other player he made 19 against the Vikings. In our camp he is leading scorer with 131 points for an average of 9 points per game. He has scored more points in a single game than any other player on the Wildcat five. He scored 24 points against Linfield. If Mr. Soukup and Mr. Butzer have any players in their institution that can beat Mel's achievements this year I would like to hear from them be­ cause if they have I wouldn't want to leave him off my all-star team. Vanderbrink Comes Back Tliere is no doubt in my mind that • the Wapato boosters in this school, and I-for that matter, will say that Van­ derbrink has pulled out of his slump in fine fashion, for in the last two ...games,he has scored 24 points for an •#\ kv6rage of 12 Johnny has performed ' ! well in his last two trys, and his per­ formance in the Bellingham game puts him in the list of eligibles for the tri-normal selections. . Tri-Normal Leaders Mel Bunstine is holding down 7-point lead in the conference scoring race with 24 points Anderson, of Cheney is second with 17 points. Two Bel" Ingham boys Carver and Nelson arc tied for third with 16 points. This does not include the third game for Bellingham and Cheney. The standings: The, only player on the casaba who hails from Oregon is DICK WOLT RING of Portland. Woltring has been sparking lately and he looks like a veteran. Woltring is giving Boersma plenty of trouble at the starting posi­ tion, and that's not knocking Hank either, for Boersma is a very capable center. Since Boersma will be out in the profession next year Dick should see lots of action. Woltring is one of the best back­ board players in the conference, and h» has uncanny hands which come in handy on slap-in shots off the back­ board. He also takes many rebounds off the board. Well Dick here's hoping that you return next year because we expect a lot from you by the time next season oils around—and maybe before this season is over with. WOODY MILLS From St. John comes "Lefty" Woody Mills, the only southpaw on the maple court. Woody is one of the best set shots on the squad and his ability to shoot with either hand makes him a scoring threat. His favorite shot seems to be a one hand over head shot, which is tough to check, and he makes plenty of them. Mills has one bad fault, and it is the fact that he needs a little more- experience on the defense, it is this that is keeping him on the bench. Mills is another boy that should see lots of action next year, and I hope he corrects his defensive fault. Bunstine (E) Anderson (C) Carver (B) ... Nelson (B) ...

The trophy is awarded by George Kittenour, manager of the Richfield Oil Company, who is a local sport enthusiast. The winner of the trophy has possession of same for one year. In addition to having his name en­ graved on the trophy, the winner is presented with a medal which signi­ fies his accomplishments as an athlete. There are 10 events in the decath­ lon and the perfect score is 1,000. Any registered student is eligible to contest in one or all of the various events. Contestants will begin train­ ing March 1 and continue with same throughout the spring quarter at the end of which a meet will be held and the trophy and medal awarded by George Rittenour. The Decathlon is now in its third annum and is becoming more popular each succeeding year. Ted Meyers won the trophy in 1935 while Walter Crabb held it during the 1936 season. Much comment has already been given in regard to possible winner for this year's competition. It certainly looks like a few records will be broken. Hoopsters To Tackle Cheney and Gonzaga Kenneth L. Van Leuven New York Life Ins. Co. Meet Cheney Friday Night Gonzaga U. Saturday The Wildcats will roll across the state to battle with Cheney in a very important fracas Friday night. If the Cats drop the game t'ne Redskins will take a undisputed tri-normal cham­ pionship, but if the hungry Wildcats claw them up that will give them a chance to tie with the Savages for the much coveted crown. The follow­ ing night the Ellensburg cagers take on the powerful Gonzaga University. Cheney Highlights Head Coach Reese of Cheney will probably start the same lineup that he started against Ellensburg here, with the exception of their long shot artist Smith Erving ihay get the call in his post. Anderson and West will hold down the forward positions Eus­ tace will be at center, and Kern at the other guard. Coach Nicholson hinted that Bun­ stine, Faust, Boersma, Pettit, and Vanderbrink would start for Ellens­ burg. Bo McMillin, coach of Indiana Uni­ versity's gridmen, celebrated his birthday by presenting two sugges­ tions for Hoosier athletic teams: "Pioneers" and "Crimson Crusaders." £ * * # The Parnassus Poetry Club of Cheney Normal is sponsoring a poetry contest for the entire student body.

WILDCATS TROUNCE BELLINGHAM VIKINGS IN SPECTACULAR GAME BUNSTINE AND VANDERBRINK 46 TO 31 VICTORY STAR IN Gonzaga Powerful The Gonzaga five features a fast breaking and aggressive offense. Coach McGrath's mainstays are Yan- dle, an unorthodox shooter he spe­ cializes in sinking them from any­ where, especially the long ones. Haug, Bulldog guard, is also.a high scoring man, and Brass and Sielge from a scoring threat that will be hard to stop. The Wildcats will have to play basketball if they , want to win both of these. games and no imitation will •do.,, Coach Leo Nicholson's much im­ proved den of Wildcats, playing their best game of the season, swamped the Bellingham Viking camp in a fast and sensational tilt by an impressive score of 46 to 31. The score at the half was 24 to 16 in favor of the Cats. Bunstine Makes 19 Bunstine tossed and sunk baskets from every angle of the floor to score a total of 19 points, nearly three times the total of Dziedzic, who was Bellingham's high point man with seven. In the second half Bunstine scored 10 points while Dziedzic scored none. Vanderbrink turned in his best game this season with a total of 12 points, playing A-l ball on both the defensive and offensive. Vanderbrink was continually after the ball and had his hands on it his share of the time, while Bunstine knocked down rival shots and gave the Cats a good lead all through the fight. Carver and Pettit were taken out of the game on fouls. First Half The first score was made by Dziedzic of Bellingham who di'opped in a free throw. During the first 10 minutes of the fray the Vikings nosed ahead of the Wildcats for a few min­ utes, but only by two points. Chang­ ing their offensive tactics, the Cats immediately snatched the lead and with close checking and fast passing held the Vikings to 16 points in the first half while they rolled up 24 points. The Cats :also boast the fact rates aces BlINCH LEAGUE The Hunch Leaguers who have been creating much interest during the past month will play one more week. On the evening of March 2, four winners from the 10 o'clock and 5 o'clock •classes will engage in the playoff. The evening of March 3 will hold: the grand finale, the playoff between the winners of either class for the Hunch League championship. Dur­ ing the past week the lead has chang­ ed constantly, therefore the playoff should be an exciting and sensational one. .The league may be seen in ac­ tion at 10 o'clock and 5 o'clock daily up to and including the tournament March 2 and 3.

Second Half Fox and Nelson of the coast aggre­ gation who in the first half were hav­ ing trouble finding the basket, finally caught sight of it and started off the second half with a couple gift shots. All of a sudden, Vanderbrink and Bunstine got "hot" and within a split second bettered the Cats' score by five points thus enabling the Ellens­ burg quintet to lead by a margin of eight points. During the first few minutes of the last quarter, Faust and Boresma with their fancy passing and accurate shooting were instru­ mental in holding the Wildcats' lead. As the minutes waned, Nicholson sent iti his reserves at which time Bunstine and Vanderbrink again filled the hoop and held the defeated Vikings score­ less until the horn ended the cage fight with the Cats leading 46 to 31. Bright Future Cheney started the conference sea­ son by defeating the Cats 37 to 25. Since then the W. S. N. S. quintet has improved 100 per cent. The Sav­ ages barely whipped the Norsemen "when they met, winning by a score of 33 to 30. Considering the fact that the Wildcats have made much improvement and have licked Belling­ ham's Vikings, a much faster club than the Cheney Savages, it is quite probable that the Wildcats will whip the socks off the entire Cheney out­ fit.
