When the newspaper editors OF
Washington gather at the University
Of Washington early in February for
the thirteenth annual Newspaper In
stitute, they will find on the entertain
ment program a number of new
stunts. AS has been the custom the
past few years, the University of
Washington Glee Club will provide
the big attraction on the entertain
ment program. For the coming meet
ing members of the Glee Club are
working out some new stunts and
sthey promise to give the newspaper
hen something to think about long
Aer the event has passed into his

leaked out indicates that one Of the
stunts will disclose the "low down"

of the states heaviest editorials.
There will also be the usual dinner
and high jinks the last night of the
institute.
Besides the entertainment the pro-
gram provides for good deal of solid
business. Because the round table
discussions of newspaper mems prob

HISTORY OF YEAR SHOWS MANY
IMPORTANT EVENTS MARKED 1924

Many events of great moment

indirectly, the financial and economic
regeneration of that country and Flu.

scheme means much for the entire
civilized world. Having been devised
mainly by Americans, 1t adds to the
prestige of America.
Wars were few and not especially
important internationally. The out
standing ones were the civil war for
the control of the government Of
China, the attempt of Spain to con-
quer the rebellious tribesmen of Mo-
rocco, the suppression of a rebellion
in Mexico and a long-drawn-out revo-
lutionary movement in Brazil. There

expected internecine conflicts in Cen

Ocean Beach Highway y
I Causes State Troubl

Years ago interested solons from
Grays Harbor and Pacific counties in
duced the legislature to set aside the
disable portions Of the Pacific Ocean
beach in Southwestern Washington as
permanent public highway.
Old Father Neptune never has been
in a good humor about that deal and
both Land Commissioner G. V. Saw
idge and Highway Engineer James AL
len are trying to dodge responsibility
for fighting with the ocean for pos.
session of the two automobile speed
ways.
When the Pacific Ocean is in a good
humor the waters recede, leaving big
tracts of neWly-made ground and ap-
parently moving the speedWays far
Their out toward the sea. Then comes
period of bitterness with property.
| owners at the summer resorts who
claim this newly-made land. Later
ensues a period when the ocean flu
riously beats against the shore anG
| carries away great tractS OF OLD Snore
lands. Then comes season of con
troversy with summer resort people
over title to the place where the land
used to be but isn't any more.
The ribbon of sand, hard packed
and ideal for automobile speeding
moves in and out with recurring sea
sons like an Adams apple in a nerv

over the ownership of the site. They
will ask the lawmakers to do some
thing that will end the pickering.
Irrespective Of where the ocean de
cides to locate the speedways for the
season, there is. no question abou

toists,l The beaches are even NOR,

event of the year was the national
election, together with the sensation
al Democratic convention, which re-
suited in the nomination of John w.
Davis and Charles W. Bryan, and the
Independent candidacy of Senator La
Toilette and Senator Wheeler on a
radical platform. Despite the oil re-
serve scandal that had laid the Re-
publican administration open to at
tack, the voters of the land, by a plu-
rality of about 100000, decided that
Calvin Coolidge should continue in
the presidential office, with Charles
Gates Dawes as vice-president.
Prosperity Beams on U. S.
During the long months of the cam
paign business in the United States
had languished, but Immediately after
the election it revived rapidly, and at
the same time there began consid-
cradle boom in securities on the stock
exchanges. Until autumn American
agriculture was in the dumps, and
statesmen spent much time trying to
devise measures to relieve 1t, but this
relief, for all it's branches except live
stock raising, came naturally with
substantial rises in prices of grains
and other produce.
The spectacular event of 1924 was
the successful flight of three Ameri-
can Army airplanes around the globe.
Not long after their return the huge
dirigible ZR-3, built by Germany as
war reparation for the United States,
made safe trip across the Atlantic.

Democracy, Equality "
In Student Government;

Student self-goVernment is not only
an established fact but entirely sue
cessful at the State College of Wash
ington, according to President Fred
Weller of the Associated Students
there. Mr. Weller, who is Tacoma
man, says he believes it an absolutely
essential factor in the college life.
Our student body government is an
echo of the government of our own
nation" declares Mr.. Weller, land

democracy. The students have the
greatest faith in the organization, be.
body is also a member of the associa.
ton and has an equal voice in the
affairs and activities Of the college.
"All student publications Of the
campus are under the supervision OF
the student body and various com
mittees and bodies under the jurisdic
ton of the student body regulate the
social and athletic activities upon the
campus"
The president of the Women's
League, an organization of which
all women of the college are mem
bers, is Miss Marjorie Davidson of Ev
erett, who is also of the opinion thai
the Associated Students is an organ
ization Of great value to the college;
that it has assisted materially in the
advancement of the college to 1t!
present high standard.
"A spirit of democracy and feel
ing of equality is brought about b.
student government" says Mis-
Davidson. Il have found that tn
women of the college feel freer to ex
press their own ideas when they ar,
not directly under the supervision o
the faculty. The best in every stu
dent is brought out under these cor
ditions."
