The staff of the war-year klipsun has had many difficulties in bringing- about the finished product. Because of the war, many things thai were obtainable previously became either frozen by-government order or simply weren't being made. Some of the problems encountered by the staff were: frozen flashbulbs, a shortage of rubber glue, no student photographer which oyer-worked professional photographers, an early engraving, deadline (two months earlier than last year,) and cancellation of the cover orders at.^Jast; minute, to mention only . ft . 1 ^ . obstacles. Editor Anderson says, "Even -though this War Year Klipsun has been'cut in size and pages, we hope . that during and, after this time of dimrouts,. rationing and uncertainty, it will help to re-create most of the pleasant memories and experiences of WWC between October, 1942, and June, 1943." Slimmer School Opens June 21 • Jane 11 is the beginning of the 1943 summer session at WWC. The first term ends July 21 and the second term begins July 22, extending through August 20. The College has made provision, in the summer program, for courses considered of special value to teachers who are returning to the field: after an absence of several . years. The brevity of a nine-weeks' summer quarter makes its essential that the period usually devoted to registration /and other preliminaries be eliminated insofar as possible, Hence, it is required that all students, whether previously in at-ttendance or hot pre-register by mail before June 12. 1943 Klipsun Editor If Dateline .

Cummins, Herbert Hearsey, and Dr. Arthur C. Hicks, members of the faculty publications committee, and other invited guests. Conveniences Discussed • May 26 at 7:30 p. BL, a joint meeting of the standards committee was held In the student lounge. According to Lois Jo Smith, student lounge committee chairman, added conveniences are being investigated for the new student lounge. Since the opening of the lounge, it has been discovered that accommodations for student's wraps and books should be-made. Shirley Heaton, member of the student lounge committee, has been placed in charge of investigating this situation. Prices and materials of a rug for the lounge are also being looked into. The possibility of a nickelodeon has been discussed. According to the committee, the record player is proving inadequate because the records will become worn and not usable when a special occasion calls for their use. The committee announces a balance of $35.89 after the new furniture has been paid for. Women Occupy School Offices • According to recent reports in other school newspapers, the majority of offices in some colleges and universities will be filled by women for the coming year. Washington State college and the University of Washington elected women prexies, while EUensburg had a complete female ticket. All publications seem to be headed by women. Western Washington has almost a complete female slate with Declan Barron, student body president, as the only male member, while the publications also are to be feminine affairs. Ait Class Making Teacher Titles • Teachers in Patriotic Service or Teachers Offering Patriotic Service are the two names suggested by Miss Hazel Plympton's art class for teachers who are sticking to the profession instead of joining one of the numerous branches of the service. The two titles TTPS or TOPS have come out of a discussion by the class. The group is now making wooden buttons with one of the two insig-hias on them and contemplating a suitable color scheme. During one of next week's assemblies a vote will be taken to decide what type of button is preferred. Charles Bice will take pictures of the class and the buttons on com-plettoh of the project. 6hmf Cattdtis Sam Hayes Speaks ^ fated TleWS • James Walter Cary, a former student of WWO, is at preesnt a first lieutenant in the U.S. army stationed at New Orleans, Louisiana. Lieutenant Hoyle Austin, who attended WWC for a year is a veteran of the Tunisian campaign. He was with the U.S. air force throughout the successful North African campaign. Because he is the youngest member of his squadron, he's called **Junior" by the other members. He is a graduate of Bellingham High school, and he attended the University of Washington before entering the service. He took his flying training at Victorville, California. Private Ralph Burgess who recently left WWC for the armed forces, has been selected as one of three in his group at Camp Roberts, California, to take a specialized training at some university to be designated soon. Aagaard Praises Cooperation By CALE CAMPBELL "It is a great" feeling to know that the unity and cooperation that existed between Norway and the United States before the war still remains," Kasper Aagaard explained, as he relaxed his short frame against his workbench in the shop crowded with new work for the WWC faculty. Mr. Aagaard was born in the northern part of Norway where the midnight sun shines all summer long, making the days and nights practically the same. He had a thorough education both in the old country and here. He was a major in agriculture back home but discontinued this work as soon as he came to the United States. He has made Bellingham his home for the apst thirty-six years. "Upon arriving in this country, I spent a short internment period on Ellis Island in New York and from there I went to Minnesota. Here I went through my first hot weather. And from Minnesota I came to Bellingham in 1907. This city was going through its big depression. I was able, though, to obtain odd jobs here and there as a carpenter, and have remained in the trade ever since," he said, shifting the hammer in his flexible artisan hands. Mr. Aagaard has worked off and on as school carpenter for the past several years and is a favorite among the students and faculty for the fine cooperation he shows in his work for them. In a more serious tone he said," This is one of the finest colleges in the most beautiful city in the most wonderful country in the world." Lifting his foot off the saw horse and moving back towards his work bench, he turned and concluded, "I feel that the schools and colleges are just as essential as some of the large industries and by keeping my job here I feel I am doing my part in winning the war and saving democracy." From Houses Sam Hayes, NBC commentator and master of ceremonies for the "Eyes Aloft" program, spoke before the WWC student body in a special assembly Thursday afternoon as part of his Pacific Coast tour in behalf of the Fourth Fighter command to obtain more women volunteers for local filter board work. AWS Secretary Selected • Zosia Nowogrowstd was elected ASW secretary in the AWS assembly last Friday. The other officers for next year were elected in the last AWS assembly, but Zosia No-wogroski and Harriett Clow tied for secretary. The AWS assembly consisted of a short business meeting. Elizabeth Douglas, president, introduced Aileen Gardiner, president-elect, who in turn introduced her commission members for next year. The commission members and their duties are: standards, Doris Tedford, who will take care of the books of the organized houses; Margaret Richards, leadership chairman, will have charge of talent and activity cards of all WWC women students; Harriett Clow, social chairman, has charge of the kid party and helps committees of other social affairs; Ivaloe Stillman, room service chairman, has charge of the AWS room; and Cheryl Smith, fellowship chairman, will head the team for next year. A skit was given to advertise the fact that students are not to eat in the student lounge. Community singing Jead by Miss Mira Booth, AWS adviser, comprised the rest of the program.

LEFTY'S NO SAILOR Glad to be home once more were Butch Faller and Lefty LeBarron, who made the trip to Victoria with the Bellingham Bells. It is rumored that Lefty was very seasick while making the crossing. Honored guests at Tuesday night's supper were Norma Stangle and EUa-abeth Douglas. Stan Targus, former Viking football ployer, now in the Coast Guard service, dropped in to say hello to Amber. He is stationed at Sixes, Oregon.

With the showing made at the annual conference track meet in Ellens-burg last week the outlook is a slight bit brighter. But, can' we set any plans on the success of the Winco meet with two-thirds of the men participating in the.Navy's V- program? All that can be predicted about the future is that it will be unpredictable. When it comes to passing out orchids for top performances and bidding farewells for the duration to the sports standouts at WWC we have a big Job. The few remaining football players left on the campus who we would like to praise and bid ban voyage, first are: Les Winters, Larry Munizza, Leonard Barnhiil, Gale Gregg, and many others who already have left; basketballers: Bob Ludwick, Jack Durranceau, Sid Van Sinderen, and Roy Wark. Each and every one contributed strongly in making this sport. possible this year and we hope to see • each and every one of them back. Missing in the golfdom will be Bob Kerchen, Dick Verrill, and Mike Smith. Good luck, Champs! Track will see Beneir Elenbaas, after his first season, leave and go to the colors. ..Tennis will be shy of its Winco champion combiation when Fred Strankman, Hal Loop, Floyd A. Brown, Butch Faller all leave. We sincerely hope the boys return shortly and win back the honors they won this season. Intramuralites also have done nobely in helping to bring a competitive and sportsmanlike spirit to the non-varsity men of the campus. Some are: Ray Stephanson, Bob Miner, Don Neal, Bob Vossbeck, Frank Donahue, Art Stenson, Gordon Robinson, Pup McFarland, Wade Haggard, and Ed Prince.. ' Coaches Lappenbusch and Carver deserve lots of credit for promoting these sports in such an organized manner.

Sweepers Dominate Series Outlook By the current standings, the Ensign Sweepers seem to have the intramural softball championship in the bag for the 1943 season of Play. Playing steady ball the whole season Bob Miner's crew have had things pretty much their own way and have shown exceptional team play. They have been paced by two of the best performers in the league in Larry Munizza and Ernie Ludwick, both being very good hitters and steady in the field. Strankman and Gregg also should be mentioned for their fine work in the infield. Rhodes and Wark played well in the outer garden also. Miner, one of the best chuckers in the league, carried most of the pitching load. The remaining play will be between Hospice Inn and the Unknowns for the right to play in the little world series. Unknowns Scare 'Sweepers With the score reading eight apiece in the first half of the seventh, the Sweepers were definitely in a tough spot, but Munizza got in front of one of Verrill's offerings and started the fireworks. Before the fire could be put out by the city boys, the score read 11 to 8. The game ended in a hurry, in the last half of the inning, with the Sweeps retiring their opponents one, two, three. McFarland led the Unknowns with some spectacular /catches in the outfield and a long homerun in the fifth frame. Apple Capital Pick • Raised in the apple capitol of the world, Wenatchee, Wash., we salute this week's top sportsman for giving 100% to school athletics. Basketball and bowling head the list for topnotch performances with ' softball holding the runner up position. Although not a varsity player, he has put a lot into school athletics in the intramural league. A good winner and amply a sgood a loser he is a firm believer in the ethics of sportsmanship and should be given lots of praise for this attitude. Answer to sports personality on page four.

School is opening a week early to provide time for the apple picking project. Here are a few opinions that have been voiced on the subject: Georgina Voris: "Sounds good to me if my family says CXK." Helen Genther: "Good deal if transportation is furnished." Mary Ann Bauer:. "Too hard work. I think women could do other things more beneficial" Mike Smith: "I was there last year and I don't think girls can do that work. It's hard!" Rich Wittren: "Think it's a wonderful idea. Work isnt too hard. It would do the girls good." Ruthe Olds: "If they think we can do the work and the other gals go, it sounds all right." Betty Yorkston: "Think it will be wonderful after all reports on what they do over there." Dec Barron: "Women will be the only ones available to pick apples." Mr. Barron then added, "After all, Eve did it." Divot Diggers Should Work For Victory • A golf lesson at Lakeway Golf course or dig me brother with a number seven (iron). This adequately describes what the crop of golf newcomers are doing to the fairways at Lakeway. We drive out to the golf course and the instructor says, "Today we will use our number seven irons and practice chip shots," (and he doesn't mean off an old block either). We walk out onto the course to a spot where the grass is growing nice and green and practice digging it up...no, no, I mean, swinging our clubs. That's easy... without a ball to swing at I am a professional but as soon as that little white missile is laid in front of me I go all to pieces and what before was perfect form is now only good for a laugh, which everyone does as I miss the ball the first half dozen times. After an hour'of hitting the balls and running miles (am I kidding) after them, and believe me you have to run or some guy gets grabby and takes yours too, (not mentioning any names here but have the rest of you noticed how Butch Paller always seems to have more balls to shoot out again than any of us?) Anyway, getting back to the subject, after an hour of what seems like good. golf, to us, the instructor calls us over and tells us to report for our next lesson behind the clubhouse in his victory garden! By CAM and PAT •Here's your chance. ~ Ciome. on, lei's prance. In other words- Come on chillun, let's dance. That student lounge is really a deal, isnt it? When any of the faculty are minus a class they just come down to the lounge and drag the members of their class back to the room. We realize it is almost the end of the quarter, but there is still summer quarter and next year, so here is a suggestion we have heard echoed by many students. Have some class or organization sponsor a rec hour and charge twenty-five or even ten cents. With the proceeds a lot of new records could be purchased. By-^th-by (in the way of a hint) /that stocking dance the frosh class sponsored at the first of the year was sure fun, and a big success. Ye* kunnin' kollege kids needn't think yon can hide any good gossip from us dirt digging columnists. We now have access to an puija board. Just call me Yogi Camor-gason. To quote members of the filter board, "You can always tell when the girls of Edens hall are upon the roof of the dorm, because the planes which are going over, really fly low." WEDDING BELLS DEPARTMENT: That foxy Phyllis Artley led people to believe she was going home, and instead she buzzed off and got married. To Lawrence McLaren, of course. No, Lawrence McLaren of Woodland. BUI Wilder and Rnthe Olds dood it. Buthe is now sporting a beautiful diamond. I'll bet the mailman was glad to bring it. He sure has got his share of dirty looks in the past few days. Doc Morsman, BTO of the Merchants' baseball team, sure gets befuddled when he picks up that bat. His bewilderment might be the result of hecklers. What we like about Moose is his concern for his fellow team members. Tears fairly stood put in his eyes when the catcher hurt his knee. But he doctor in Moose came out as he left his post as short stop and rushed to the side of his fellow-man. Now we leave you with this thought for the week. It applies very nicely to this column. All's well that ends. Wellll, goodbye.

"Every female in the college must wear her haid in pigtails and go without lipstick on May 10," was the statement of Zosia as she laid down the rules. VOL. XLII—NO. 29 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, May 7, 1943 Bond Is Chief Cook Wade Haggard, Campus Day chairman, makes known that a salmon bake will be held at the lake with Dr. E. A. Bond as chief cook. All food will be furnished through the purchase of tickets, which will be 40 cents. "We are going to have an orchestra for the dance that is to be held in the Student lounge Wednesday night." Wade announces. Admission will be by student body tickets. The committee heads feel that competition will be strong in the two baseball games to be played when the picnickers return from Lakewood. A good game is expected between the men and women students. Many of the girls turning out for baseball throw a wicked curve ball or swing a mean bat but they will be up against some semi-pros and no doubt some Gas House sang members. While this game is being played, another group of male students will play the faculty men in their annual diamond conflict. Assembly Skits Beady Mike Smith and Mary Ann Bin-zer, co-chairmen of the Campus Day assembly expect to see numerous skits ready for the tryout which is to take place on Monday. From the skits presented at that time by the various organizations, six will be chosen to appear in the assembly Wednesday morning. The beard growing committee states that judges are being selected who will serve at Lakewood next Wednesday to decide what man on the campus possesses the. longest,, the fanciest, and the most honest attempt at a beard. The winners will be revealed at the Campus Day George Receives Navy Orders dance-that night. All contestants will be required to keep at least three square inches of evidence that they have a beard until after the dance.

The YMCA sponsored conference advised the boys that the youth of today must be physically, spiritually and morally fit for the task ahead in the war. The juniors and seniors who attended the meeting will soon be facing calls into the armed services. Upper class girls of the college guided the guests to theplayrooms in the Elementary school building where they were registered and then guided to the auditorium. Dr. R. Franklin Thompson cautioned the boys that the. youth taking his place among the nation's fighting men must have faith in God and must expect right and wrong. Lieut. Paul R. Washke of the US Navy gave the group a preview of their navy life in a motion picture describing their training routine with an accent on physical fitness. "Your life may depend on your physical fitness,' he told tfoe pre-inductees. Sgt. Felix Montes ad-dresed the group at the noon luncheon in Edens hall. After afternoon discussion groups, the group again convened at Edens hall for dinner. Supt. T. H. Muncaster'of Sedro-Woolley was the toastmas-ter of the evening and President W. W.

Times, Sunday, May 2. The Times observed the dedication of- the Training school with a scene of the building and grounds, offset ...by six other- pictures showing various activities in the new building. ...According to the Seattle Times, the building is "Of modified Ro- • mattesque style designed in harmony ' with the newer buildings of the campus. It's appearance, both outside and inside, creates an effect of simplicity an duge.':1!:. \ "The building is in a state of readiness for the dedication," says Dr. Paul R. Grim, Campus School supervisor. "The fourth grade is completing the mural for the special lighted section in the entrance of the building." No further plans have been added to the arrangement for the dedication ceremonies which will begin tonight in the college auditorium at 8 p. m. Following the program, the womens chorus under the direction of Nils Boson will entertain the audience. A tour of the new building is being planned as the concluding event tonight.

Carl Calhoun have been added to the list of panel speakers. Following the breakfast, those who have special interest in the new building will again tour the structure. An informal luncheon at Edens hall will bring the two day ceremonies to a close. New Name Wanted; Candy Big Prize • CANDY! Yum-m-m! One box of chocolates is the prise for the winner of the Homecoming contest. Since the Homecoming lookout for 1944 is dark, the calendar committee is sponsoring a contest to find an appropriate name for our first wartime homecoming. 1 No def inte plans have been made for the Homecoming program next fall, but it is evident from all reports that the event will be much different from previous years. Those people who are interested in winning a box of chocolates should be thinking of a title conveying the thought of a war-time homecoming. If possible the word "Homecoming" should be included in the title. / f Names suggested by members of the committee are: ALMA MATER AT HOME, HOME FURLOUGH NICHT, HOME FRONT FESTIVAL and COLLEGE REUNION.

Although there has been no definite confirmation of the report that there will not be a football game for Homecoming next fall, the rumor is undoubtedly more truth than poetry. Even though Coach Lappenbusch is out on the prowl for athletic talent for next year he is very unlikely to find'anything that will keep the Vikings on the sports calendar for the coming year. EASTERN GETS TRACK MEETS Eastern Washington College has an advantage over most of the other members of the Wlnco league inasmuch as they are in reasonable traveling distance of both the University of Idaho and Washington State college. They are scheduled to have a track meet Slay 15 at Idaho, and also a possibility of a match with WSC on dthe return trip to Cheney. MUNIZZA AWARDS CERTIFICATE One of the most unique certificates of its kind was awarded to Jack Duranceau of the Hospice softball team by Larry Munizza of the Sweepers, recently. It seems as though Larry was a very hard man to stop from getting to first base, by hits or walks, and after 15 consecutive trips to the first sack Jack had the "privilege' as termed by Munizza, of putting him out. .ODDS AND ENDS . . . The Sweepers really sweetened their collective batting averages against the Unknowns last Monday night...So did Hospice, as pitcher,.Art Stenson, blanked the Unknowns 25 to 6 last week ...Oddity, Bob Minor got a base hit against the Unknowns... Manager Warren McFherson left for Alaska early in the week leaving the poor Unknowns to be handled by Wade Haggard... Kewpie Dick Barret certainly lost a heartbreaker 1 to 0 and gave up only one hit in his first major league starting debut Being that our track and football field back of the PE building is yet un-named. Why not start a campaign to can it Barnes Field in honor of trackman, Ray Barnes, who lost his life in an airplane accident, recently... For those who think It might be improper, remember that EUensburg did so in honor of a former athlete, Tomilson, who also lost his life for the same cause... Lefty LeBaron had the honor of getting both the first hit and the first run for the Bellingham Bells for the '4/ season last Sunday... Both Lefty and Sid got two hits while Faller got one... A new low for bowling was hit by yours truly last Sunday night when a 42 game was bowled at the local alleys... Of course it was the first game of career... The old faithfuls, Munizza, Strankman, and Ludwick, have put in their bid to handle the concessions at Battersby Field during the baseball sea-son! Notably absent will be "Bones" Lowery now of the UJS. Navy. PLC BASEBALL The Seattle Rainiers opened the home baseball season Wednesday facing the San Francisco Seals at Sicks Seattle Stadium with a good crowd-attending. The-Ramiers, now in sixth place, are still favorites in this territory and a number of the men on the campus plan to attend Sunday's double header. . OREGON TAKES THRILLER The thrilling sports event of the month took place last Saturday when Chuck Beckner of Oregon edged out Anchor man Gene Swanzey of the University of Washington to win the mile relay and also the deciding points for the meet. Oregon, incidentally, is being coached by former Dean of Men, Loye McGee of WWC, who took over at Oregon last fall. DO YOUR PART* BUY WAR BONDS Truly!

Led by the flawless pitching of Art Stenson who allowed but seven safetys the men from the Inn showed lots of strength and a new winning spirit. Bob Ludwick led the hitting attack for the Hilltop-pers by smashing a long circuit blow and two singles in four trips. Diede and Vossbeck were the but-standing fielders for the evening with both boys bringing in spectacular catches. ' . . " ' . Only one man reached third base for the losers. The Hospice Inn and Sweepers' game was postponed Wednesday on account of the weather. Sweeps Roll. - Maintaining their winning form from previous games the league leading Sweepers dumped the luckless Unknowns 15 to 5 last Monday behind the pitching of Bob Miner. With the game starting out as if it were going to turn into a real thriller, the Sweepers had other plans and turned it into a rout. Strankman got the biggest share of the blows for the broom wielders. Ludwick, Munizza, and LeBarron looked good in the field and at bat for the winners. STANDINGS TEAM— W. L.

Bob Kerchen again proved himself one of the top bowlers of the league by ranking high man for both singles and doubles and landing the Inners to victory. Although maintaining their lead, the Hill-toppers lost a deciding point to the Unknowns in a frame that was held f gt;ver from a tie last week. Loop led the Collegian bowlers with a combined total of 326. Ker-chen's scores were 199 for the singles and 361 for the doubles.

Hailing from Everett, he has been active in intramural athletics since the first day of his enrollment. A good competitor and leader, he can be seen participating in all sports conducted in the after-school league for men. His latest of topnotch performance was bringing the Hospice Inn basketball team home with the winter quarter intramural crown. He was named on the all league nominations-and was the leading scorer in the loop. As a softball player he is a hard man to stop. For two consecutive years now he has been the outstanding third sacker of the league and a leading hitter. This season he has tried his luck at pitching and much to the Inners' joy he has proved himself a real mounds-man by sutting out the Unknowns in his first attempt. He spent six months of last year with the navy air corps training as a cadet. Back to school to get his degree in physical education he will then go back to active duty as a fitness instructor in V-7. (Answer on Page 4) WE CALL FOR AND DELIVER GEO.

It was their school and they not only wanted tc make the place neat for the annual outing, but they were unselfishly benefitting their alma-mater. They were glad to have this resort and wanted to keep it in the best shape possible. . Now those same fellows are out giving everything they've got in cleaning up the Axis, and clearing the way for free living. It's the same principle only on a bigger scale. But their successors aren't disappointing them. They've got that same unselfish spirit. They're not waiting until the day before Campus Day to begin the task. Tuesday afternoon a large group of men went out to Lakewood and almost -completed the job and they plan to- finish it on May 11. There have been many activities this year, sponsored by smaller groups that worked hard to make their affair a success. Many of these organizations have been disappointed because of the way their event was attended and enjoyed by only a minority. It seems that everyone should feel that something absorbing endless time and labors of a fellow student would no doubt result in something worthwhile. Regardtess of whether, or not this activity is our personal idea. of a worthy project or a good time, it should be deserving of our attention and support. : Campus Day is, however, different. Almost every student 'and:! faculty member An, the. college , isf helping in some'way -with' the plans. Therefore, it's bound, to be an all-school success.' We' will - all be out there Wednesday to-' enjoy'-the' fruits '."of dur" labor.'" Campus Patteb By CAM and PAT • Oh, Campos Day, oh, Campus Day, we wish that you could come to stay. What with old Sol making appearances, every now and then, some suntans a la Hollywood have been evidenced. Ruthe Olds soaked up a beautiful one on the WRA cruise last Saturday. "Punchy" Strankman acquired his while whipping up a neat tennis game. Margery Sinnett got hers watching a track meet. (?) We had a sun tan once—but Mom made us wash. Margery Moyer has blossomed forth looking real 'springy' 'in one darling plaid skirt done in the rose and turquoise shades. Any of you girls needing counsel about your wedding plans should consult Zosia Nowogroski. She knows that stuff as her sister was married last week-end and "Zosh" went home for the thrilling event. Have you ever ridden with that mad Driver? His real name is Jack. To hear Dick Morsman tell it, he is going to be wheeling something around today. We suspicion it might be a convertible. Betcha twenty-one eighty Dick is mobbed by the female population (which takes care of most of it) of WWC. Here is a good line. A coy way of calling up a girl. The house reporter at Daniels calls up the Women's editor and says: quote, "I just thought I'd call you to give you the house news." Oh, come now, Punchy. Does it take an hour to give that little bit of news? Out at the Gables last Friday night after the Mixer were: Wade Haggard and Peggy Benton, Jack Driver and Pat Murray, Bob Ker-chen and Pat Machemer, Prank Donahue and Irene Radel, Butch Paller and Toodie Waters, and Hal Loop and Kay Martin. We leave you with this thought for the week: Aren't you glad that spring comes at this time of year? 'cause, if it came in the middle of winter it would*be too cold to go outside and enjoy the warm weather. ea mtt gt;n Heard the one about the little moron who put chicken feed in his shoes to feed his pigeon toes? * * * * ....There also was a little moron who flooded the gym because the coach was going to make him a sub. * * * * Another little moron thought that Western Union was cowboy underwear. Here We Find Unusual Race u • An evening at Hardstone's as described by Herman Koble With-erspoon . . . As I enter the darkened and narrow building, I heard a blast of noise, this, I later discovered to be a form of music coming from an automatic coin-operated machine. The instant the machine began grinding, people in the place went into a kind of epileptic trance And did odd things with their feet such as swinging them around in a crazy fashion. It is defnitely an odd animal that has this place for its habitat as they all had hair on their faces and none on ther heads. They spoke an unusual jargon also. Most conversation sounded like this: ' lt;Hiya kitten, what's knitten'" or "Reef up to the libe with me. There's a big confab this eve and I want to work in cheap on a little info." There were two of the females who just looked at each other and said "Haza waza zagobin" at various intervals. I did not find out what this meant. I noticed a girl in white coming to the back part of the place quite often. At first I thought she was a nurse to take care of these stricken young people but upon further inquiry found that she was a "Soda-slinger." It is her job to tell the people that they may not occupy a booth without purchasing a ten-cent Coca-Cola. The'^Coca-Cola is a dark brown beverage designed as a stimulant to keep students from falling asleep in class and gives them strength while "Jitterbug-ging." That last term means "to dance." A few of them talked in code, such as B.T.O., B.M.O.C. and O.K., and they all seemed to be easily swayed because they said over and over, "You talked me into it." As I had developed a horrible headache from watching this jumpy mob I decided to bid them adieu and take my leave.

It is suggested that anyone who feels her hair is too short might buy a "switch?' for it. Faculty and student teachers whose cases warrant excuses will be required to purchase permits ranging in cost from 25 to 50 cents according to the way their hair is put up and the style in which it is worn. A court will be held on Monday to inflict punishment or fines on the females not obeying the rules. Permits for beard shaving are being issued to those men taking part in the various dramatic productions. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday court sessions will be called to try beardless men and to fine them accordingly. The clqan-up committee under the chairmanship of Fred Strankman already has begun to function. A large group of men worked out at Lakewood last Tuesday afternoon.

Entertainment for the evening was diversified. Card games were going on in two corners of the spacious room. Don Neal, Hospice man, emerged as the "Champ" in the men's single Cribbage tournament. The ping-pong table was not idle for a moment, as enthusiasts were whipping the little celluloid ball to and fro from 8:30 to 11:30. Doubles games proved to be the more popular as more persons could play. Dancing was the third feature of the evening. The couples danced to the music of the best hands in the land, via a nickelodeon. The floor of the Lounge had been cleaned and waxed and was in good condition for dancing. Refreshments consisting of pop and sugar wafers were available during the course of the evening.

This first project will be under development as soon as manpower and material will permit. In the second category will come the construction of the auditorium building, the new hospital, and the underground distribution system. Plans for this group will be developed at a later date after the completion of the first category. Mr". Lockwood," accompanied by Dr. Haggard, concluded his visit with an inspection tour of the school campus. Recreation Reading Talk on Thursday • To introduce a recreational reading program to the students of WWC, short talks will be given in the reading room on the first fioor of the library starting next week. Dr. Thomas Hunt will give the first talk of the series next Thursday at 11 a. m. The talks will not be book reviews, but will merely be short informal chats in which a large number of non-curricular books will be shown and introduced by a faculty member who has read «,nd enjoyed them. Students wishing to, may charge out the books that are shown immediately following the talks. The talks will last about 30 min- - utes and are being planned by faculty members for once or twice a week the remainder of the fall quarter and all of the winter quarter. Students are asked to watch the official bulletin board for announcements of the hours during which these talks will be held. Mulvaney, Stevens Give Talks Today • Two features marked today's assembly, American Education week and Armistice day.

Yes, tonight is the big celebration when stray pennies, nickles, or dimes will treat you to an evening of fun and treat former WWC students now in the service to a regular subscription to the WWCollegian. Penny pitching, that favorite game of skill, will be one feature of the Mardi Gras while another Blackface Mandies Strut Their Stuff By GLEN BURGESS • Grunts, groans, and cries of pain are heard issuing from the auditorium every Tuesday and Thursday. Then noisy thumps and bangs—What is it, you- might aesk? Well, don't be alarmed. It isn't a commando course or a stray gym class. It's just the cast of the minstrel show rehearsing the strenuous cake-walk. After struggling through the cake-walk, the cast breaks into a chorus or two. of that popular minstrel song, "Mandy." And then on with'the show! Behind these scenes of glory, are many hard; working students who gain little recognition for their labors. Ann Easterbrooks, business manager of the show, is busily at work preparing for show publicity. Peggy Custer,' costume and property manager, is wracking her nimble brain trying to obtain suitable costumes. Lorraine McConnell has worked many hours on the script, and is assisting in the directing. Pat Bright is working on acts of the third part of the show, which is not completed, as yet. Warren Lambert is serving in the capacity of stage manager. And last but not least, are all the other students and teachers who are using their time and talents to make the show a success. President Haggard Delivers Address • President W. W. Haggard addressed the students of Ferndale high school last Wednesday morning, November 10.

They both were prominent students while attending WWC. Hatch is a former ASB prexy and a member of the Scholarship society, while Miss Peterson was president of Valkyrie club and a member of the Board of Control. Ensign Hatch, having just graduated from Chicago University, will remain in Seattle until he receives his assignment. At present, Miss Peterson is in Seattle teaching in the grade schools. No definite wedding date has been set as yet. Navy Man Weds Girl in Khaki • Quartermaster second class Don Gooding, USN, former WWCollegian sports editor and sports writer on the Herald, left Seattle by plane on Sunday, October 31, for St. Augustine, Florida, where his marriage to Lieutenant June Mohrman, of the WAC, was to take place during the week. Miss Mohrmann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Mohrmann. of Fern-dale, was prominent in musical activities at WWC, and is also a former WWCollegian staff member. Gooding, who was home with his parents for a few hours before his departure, has been on a small nayal supply ship plying Alaskan waters for more than a year. American Legion Hears Dahlgren • Elaine Dahlgren, freshman, spoke to the American Legion last Monday for American Education Week. Her topic was "Education for World Understanding." ^Edward Olson, a senior at Belling-ham high school, spoke on "Education for the Air Age," and Betty-Jo Sutherland, a ninth grader from Fairhaven junior high school, spoke on "Education and Health." , Arthur E.

Bad luck went along though, for the bus carrying the football fans had four flat tires, ran into IY2 feet of snow and the North Dakota team lost the game 27 to 4. Dale Jacobs, better known as "Jake" to students of WWC last year, has written asking that the WWCollegian be sent to him. Private first class Jacobs is now with the 832nd Bomber Squadron, Davis —Monthan Field, Tucson, Arizona, after having been stationed at a number of different camps in the East, and Middle West. "Jake," with an overseas training outfit now, sends his regards to all the "guys and gals" he knew last year and hopes to visit WWC for a day during his furlough coming up within the next month. Benefit Dance Held To raise money for carrying on the work of the School Patrol, the Veterans of Foreign Wars sponsored an Armistice Day dance in the Eagles hall last night. Tickets for the affair sold at $1 each and letters were sent to Campus school parents urging their support. Reporter Finds Governor Langlie Regular Heads South Guy Cadet and Mrs. Harold Key were married recently in Athens, Ohio, where the groom is stationed. The bride is the former Gera I d i n e Meek, of Bremerton, and attended W WC last year. • Placing his hand on the shoulder of the WWCollegian reporter in a friendly gesture, Governor Arthur B. Langhe drew him toward the couch. "Sit down" the governor said, as he himself perched precariously on the broad arm; "Now, what can I do for you?" As naturally as in a locker room bull session, questions and answers followed. "Everything possible will be done for our returned service men and service' women who wish to finish their schooling after the war," the chief executive affirmed earnestly. "The matter is now being studied extensively, and this state will undoubtedly find the best solution for its own people before the war is over." Mr. Langlie's eyes, thoughtful yet lively, seemed to smile as he added, "The state has already set aside $2,- 500,000 for helping returning fighters to get ire-settled in civilian life. In addition, it is expected that the federal government will allocate funds in each state for the same purpose. "We want our soldiers to have something definite to come home to this time." he continued, his expression sterner at the recollection of World War I injustices. "A secure place must be found for them," he said. According to Governor Langlie, the State of Washington is also in the forefront in the post-war planning of college and university buildings. As more fully explained on page 1 of this issue, the Western Washington campus will be among the beneficiaries in the projected building program. . Boys drafted from high school while in their last half year may expect to receive diplomas without further schooling, in Governor Langlie's opinion, while those with more than a half year to finish will be given a chance to make the credits necessary for graduation. "Possibly there will be vocational schools for them," the governor commented, "or some similar type of school they will be willing to attend." Another pat on the shoulder and the chief executive left to chat with a bevy of feminine admirers. Back on the couch, the reporter jotted down a single note. "Governor Arthur B. Langlie—a regular guy." Woman of the Week A W S pr e s ;deot Now Engaged • Aileen Gardiner, AWS -president, last week made known her engagement to Ensign Ed Prince, former prominent WWC music student and graduate of last year.

Hal went down to L.A. a couple of weeks ago to watch some of the coast teams in action and stated that, "Some of the old Winco clubs could .have trounced any of the Southern teams."

With himself scoring most of the tallies, Ernie has done a great job in keeping his boys in. top form. Burklund and Pomeroy have been taking their share of the load.also and both of these boys have shown lots of promise. Lenning, Martinson, De Pastel, and Kuljis have done fine work in sharing the reserve load for the leaders. Maybe the boys will get dumped yet, though. HOSPICE BOWLERS ROARING ....After geting off to a bad start, the boys from the corner of Garden Terrace and High have swooped in for two straight kiUings in the intramural bowling league and are now riding a sweet second Don Eldridge has his boys throwing them down the chute with an un-defiant accuracy and the way it looks now, they are headed for the leaders. . • EXTRAS Who are the Vikings going to play in basketball this winter ?-Rumors have it that they might meet the Huskies in a home and home series.

But they paid her and the other ihitiates back with other salty sea tricks such as blindfolded jumps, apple bobbing, and peanut blowing down the pool. Ruth Mclnnis organized the initia-- tion and was assisted during difficult moments by Vinnie Zankich. After it was all over, the new wet Barnacles were treated to refreshments— no, not water.

PERSONAL CHRJSTMAS CARDS YOUR NAME/|MPRINTED ' ' See Cajralog At STUDEI^S CO-OP Bad Luck Spills on Local Athlete • Breaks have fallen every way but good for the sports personality choice for this week and even with this deficit following him he has done noble in the world of sports. Graduating from Bellingham high in 1939 he was tabbed by all the local sports followers as the boy most likely to go places in athletics. In high he was an outstanding performer in baseball, basketball, and football, winning honors in each. He then traveled to the Palouse country where at Pullman he had quite a record to lay down for himself in the near future. That spring he worked out with the frosh baseball team and made a notch in his belt for numerous topflight performances. In his sophomore year he went up to varsity duty, where, although just a new member, the oldsters put him in their infield combination like a block of granite, and when the season v/as over, he had garnered himself a real name as a fielder and hitter. He was then called into the Army via the draft route. Here he was able to write his name in the service men's annals as the top third sacker in this district, while his team, the Fort Lewis Warriors, were winning the servicemen's tournament. He only spent one full year in the Army before he was given an M. D. Last year he entered school here and played basketball for Lappy, and in the spring was called to duty by the Seattle Rainiers for a chance to play Coast league ball. This is when bad luck started falling his way. First, he got a terrific Charley horse that kept him from cracking a regular position, and he was giyen a release until this had a chance to heal. While he v/as lesting around Bellingham he was playing some Sunday ball for the Bells and he broke his , ankle. This year his ankle is healed and he is ready to crack Lappy's basketball team. To you, Jim Gilday, WWC fires a salute of admiration. Twine Swishing Basketballers Highlight Intra Competition TEAM STANDINGS TEAM— W. L. Pet. Ludwicks 5 0 1.000 Warks 3 2 .600 Munizzas 1 4 .200 Gildays 1 4 . .200 Witt, Ludwick Both Score 26 Points In Single Game • Wark's basketball boys showed plenty of fire in bouncing the Mu-nizza gang to the tune of 44 to 26. last Monday afternoon. Dahl, Mol-drem, and Wark gleaned most of their team's points and showed fine all-around planning. Munizza and Baker staged a two man show accounting for all but two of their side's points. • Ludwick's team was able to scrap the Gildays boys off the floor on the same night as the previous game by a 39 to 30 margin. Ludwick and Burklund played heads up ball for the winners. On Tuesday, Wark's high riders gave trie fast improving Gilday boys another spanking by a 60 to 48 score. Jim Gilday played a scrappy game and with the help of Herb Witt and Warren Lambert made 28 of their team's 30 points. Tuesday night's"game of Gilday's and Wark's teams turned out to be the greatest scoring spree to date, Wark's team making 60 points. "Sugar" Moldrem starred for the Wark five pushing in 25 points, while Hillier and Wark held him up by making another 25 points between them. Herb Witt sparked Gilday's bunch and almost upset the game by making an individual scoring record of 26 points. Only having four men throughout the game gave Gilday's team a aisaG vantage, but even with the four, they outscored their opponents second half total by one point. With hustling Larry Munizza leading, the Munizza five almost upset the Ludwick boys' apple cart Wednesday night. The game showed all the promise of being an ordinary contest, but during the last half, things began to pop. Muniz-za's team leading by three points, was playing championship ball, and Ludwick's pace had slowed down to a walk. Then "Stork" DePastel saved the ship when he tipped in a "long" by Burklund. After that, heartened by "Stork's" basket, Lud IHAIRIPINS • Hockey held the top spot in the women's sports realm this week with some mighty vicious play being turned in by a couple' of the teams participating. The Freshman girls proved a little too much for the Upperclassers when they rolled to a 6 to 5 victory in their game Wednesday night behind the gym in the fem. hockey competition. The standout for the Freshman team was a little black dog which repeatedly carried the ball into the loser's territory. Miss Hawke and Alice Marie Anderson played outstandingly for the losers while Vinnie Zancich and Rachel Blekkink dropped in behind them in the supporting role. Nell Kosola, Barbara Caldwell, Joan Jones, and Gail Hunter all showed championship form in their victory along with their little friend, the black dog. Volleyball turnouts are being held regularly in the gym and many. girls are responding well. Tuesday night they held a short workout and teams are to be formed for further play in the future. There has been some suggestions by the girls that an intamural bowling league should be formed and operated on a mixed basis. What do you think, girls? Any ideas are gladly accepted in the box on the sports desk. and the boys swished three in quick succession during the last three minutes, winning by the safe margin of 36 to 28. ...WARKS (60) GILDAYS (48) Wark 13 ...;....F Gilday 12 Moldrem 25 F Lambert 6 Dahl 10 C Witt 26 Hilier 12 G Maclochlan 4 Martin G LUDWICKS (36) MUNIZZAS (28) Burklund 9 F Baker 3 Pomeroy 10 F Goif 5 DePastel 4 C Jones 3 Ludwick 13 ;...G.......l..-.

ENGLISHMEN PLAY FOR FUN Can what an Englishman once remarked regarding sports be true? He said that Americans play to win while Englishmen play for the fun of it. This English boy was chatting with an American girl and they were comparing their native sports. The conversation had begun with alternating discussions and explanations of rugby, football, cricket, baseball, steeple chasing, and horse .racing. But as they went on talking, the problem of comparing purposes and enjoyment in sports arose. They discovered that although there were many similar-' ities in rules and methods of play in America and England,, the spirit was different. AMERICANS TEAM-MINDED The English lad gave illustrations of the reactions of spectators in his mother country and those he's seen here in America. - It was true; the English seemed to "jolly littie care" who won as long as,it was a thrilhng contest, arid they would loudly, applaud or \ cheer a gallant feat or brilliant play on either side. Of course, we Americans cheer an outstanding play made by our opponents also, but not too often.; In our eyes it's generally our side that makes the brilliant plays. He claimed that the English spectators on the '•whole had twice as much enthusiasm. -But the Americans miss defended her sportsters^ by saying that they couldn't be Heat when it came to spirit at games. She had ytoiadmit that she's never seen the athletic picture in England. How- . ever, she upheld that it is through the element Of strong, competition that" the American game spi rit is attained. She also commented that •t with that morale booster, the com- ^petitive spirit/ the skill of team ^performance, is. encouraged. . .- v ^S^She admitted though,;that: the 0e^ryt|ir^^they' enter of terrxaus-es a Brooklyn Dodgers' booster to come to blows with a St. Louis Cardinals' fan. She also condescended that strong competitive spirit often results in pop bottles being thrown at umpires and referees for unpopular decisions. The English fellow had to admit that an unpopular umpire is vocally dealt with by the throngs over there, too. • SHE AND HE GET TOGETHER The American girl still thinks that we get as much fun out of our sports as the English do from theirs, and the English boy still thinks they have as much spirit at games as we do, ljut the two people helped each other unknowingly. She knows the English people better and understands their point of view. He made her realize more the fact that winning isn't all of a game. He has begun to see why it is the American rooters get such an extreme amount of pleasure in strong competition. Through her, he saw an American point of view which helped him to better uderstand these puzzling American ways. As the English boy recalled his first rash statement, he began to moderate it in his mind. As the American girl thought it over, she began to believe a little those opening words which at first had sounded so untrue. By MARILYN TURNER • Greetings and Merry Mardi Gras, students. Mardi Gras—translated that means "big celebration in the Student lounge—better be there." BIG NEWS: Polly Lawman has made a discovery comparable to the one made in California in '49 —a Coast Guard basketball team turns out in the gym every day at 1 o'clock. Don't go crazy girls and drop your afternoon classes! Week's visitors include two men of the Army Air corps: Art Dorcy Pfc. now stationed at Pendleton, Oregon, and Lt Carl Westman. Both men are former students of WWC. That Army slang is really tricky —Horizontal Engineering is commonly known as sleep. Sheet music is another G. I. term for it. "Do you know what good clean fun is?" Asked the parson on his visit. "I'll bite," answered the girl curiously. "What good is it?" Betty Herr is threatening to change her surname to Himm. Himm? Hummm—just imagine a "Himm" living at the Dorm!—Carol Hanify lost "it" but it wasn't a little yellow basket—it was her "glamour glasses"—Hey ( check Aileen Gardiner's third finger, left hand. On it she wears a big d-i-a-m-o-n-d and I do mean engagement! Congratulations, Aileen. While eavesdrop—I mean, while passing a couple of frosh in the Co-op I accidentally heard one of them say, "Yeah, but you oughta see Bob DePastel handle a couple of chickens"—Does he mean the kind that lay eggs—or was that a bad yoke? Ugh. Snatches of sentences can be interesting! "Early to bed and early to rise" must be the motto of" Ye Olde Collegian editor or haven't you noticed . the bed in the Publications office? I think the Cubs figured at first that they might get to take naps during class. Crazy kids! CUTE JOKE: (I think.) Can you drive with one arm? Sure— Well, here. Have an apple- - Well, kids! Have a nice week-end but don't go crazy, I always say, displaying my lack of originality.

(I don't like to say anything but does that name sound familiar to you? Seems I've heard it before. Oh, well, on with the story, I always say). Anyhoo, this dame Ella was really a moron. One of her favorite diversions was to get back of the stove and give herself a hot-foot! The only exercise she got was haul-in' cinders from the kitchen range to the garbage can—it finally got so that the local yokels dubbed her Cinder Packin' Ella. Poor old Ella got to feelin' the male shortage same as the rest of us after her boyfriend was drafted so one night she put on her wolfin' clothes and headed for the swing-shift dance. 'Course she told her old lady that she was going to grandma's (what a corny gag) but her dear old grey haired mother replied sweetly—"Don't give me that old guff. I know where you're go-in' ". So the old girl grabbed her raincoat and the two of them started off. Taking a detour past Hollywood and Vine they managed to snag a couple of sailors and I do mean snag (they each had a beautiful gold plated bear trap—given for outstanding riveting at Lega and Key-heed Aircraft.) Name engraved on the side, too. Really sharp. While standing on the , sidelines at the big brawl, a choice lookin' soldier sauntered up to Cinder and inquired, "Have you got the time " "Sure," she replied, "I got the time but not the money." "I mean what does your watch say?" "Tick, tick, t i c k , . . ." "Forget it—I didn't want to know the time anyhow—just kiddin'." Will the handsome soldier find out the correct time? Will Cinderella ever learn to quit guff in' people? Will her mother get to dance? Be sure to read the next exciting episode in your weekly Collegian... (To be Continued ?)

Well, of course I immediately threw down the paper and stalked out of the room in a huff. (Who am I trying to kid?) Of course I read the story, and much to my amazed amusement I found the story contained the following facts. Four of the University's bigshots gave a FATHERLY (?) lecture to the freshmen Co-eds. In regard to drinking, it was decided that most boys don't like girls who drink. But petting—well, here is what one of the lecturers said: "Petting, some do and some don't, but women are like potatoes, too cold and men don't like them, "too hot and they get dropped, but when they are just comfortably warm OH, BOY!" .

Joyce Dorman, Marilyn Anderson, Charlotte Samples and "Merrie Virginia Erlandson gt; can do their chorus steps almost together, and Alfred "Cupie" Clement has finally learned to put the right steps in the right places for his part in the. dance doutine. The quintet, Stuart Mol-drem, Chuck Pomeroy, Tom Hillier, Glen Burgess, and Bob DePastel's harmony has improved a little on "Sweet Kentucky Babe," and you can at last hear Tom Hillier and Glen Burgess when they sing "Basin Street." That's quite an accomplishment, really! Faculty Shines """"" The faculty is putting on three scenes from "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for part of the second scene and the rest is composed of individual acts. Pat Gardiner, Betty Herr and Mer-rie Virginia Erlandson are dancing. Ruth Mclnnes is singing and Marilyn Anderson and Chuck Pomeroy are supposed to jitterbug, but heaven only knows what will happen between now and then. Peggy Custer says that the costumes are completed and the necessary props are collected according to Lorraine McConnell, student director. The show just needs more polishing and it will be all ready to go. Prevtie ws The AWS and the Norsemen will present the Thanksgiving assembly on next Tuesday morning, with the Reverend John King Mitchell of the St. James Presbyterian church as guest speaker. Ruth McGinnis, sophomore, will sing a Thanksgiving hymn for the assembly, and Thelma Wein-garten .will play a viola selection. • The final portion of the assembly will be group singing, led by the choir, under the direction of Nils Bosen, music instructor,. The famous dancer Miriam Marmein will appear in assembly on Friday, December 3. According to all advance reports, Miss Marmein is a very talented, beautiful dancer who is a master at the art of pantomime. She is going to present "Behold the Glory" which is a drama-atization of Chr i s t m a s themes.. Howard Pierce Davis, well known*observer and analyst of world affairs, ' will speak to the student body, Tuesday, December 7. Mr. Davis'was present at Ae Brown House at Munich, when Adolf Hitler predicted his rise to "powftr. -•:";.' gt;:'.'•' AWS Event Profits Send Collegians • Mardi Gras festivities were in full swing last Friday night in the Student lounge amid gay decorations, a swinging rhythm, and the hubbub of many voices. From 8 unti 11 p. m. a steady stream of newcomers kept the party lively. The fortune telling and handwriting stands were two of the more popular booths. Dr. Lucy Kangley. Patsy Jacobson, and Paula McKinnel, fortune mystics, had a waiting line during the entire evening. Doris Tedford's penny pitch attracted all of the gamblers and Betty Herr did a fine job of keeping the Bingo table filled. Charlotte Samples was swing master and Pat Bright kept track of the ping pong games. Peggy Payne and Joyce Dorman kept the crowd refreshed with cokes and apples. A total of $21.00 was cleared and will be used to send the WWColleg-ian to former students who are now in the service. Famed Soprano Sings Tonight • Dusolina Giannini, dramatic soprano, will be presented in concert tonight in the Bellingham high school auditorium at 8:15 p. m., under the auspices of the Civic Music association. Miss Giannini is a native of the city of Philadelphia. As a pupil of the late famed great MarceHa Sembrich and as a sister of the admired American composer Vittor-io Giannini, she has had an excellent background for her present success.

This decision was reached at the commission meeting last Tuesday night. With Aileen Gardiner. AWS president presiding, the group discussed' the possibilities of a high school conference which has been held annually with the exception of last year. They decided to correspond with the various high schools usually included in this conference and ask how many students could attend if the event were held this year. As Miss Olds had been originally appointed to head the conference, the conclusion was reached that she might give up her chairmanship of war activities to continue with tentative conference plans.

Yes, readers, it has been suggested that each week through this column we acquaint students with some special department of the school. That little known division that checks those "book-. length quizzes" frequently indulged in by WWC faculty has been chosen as our victim of the week. In normal times headed by psychologists Dr. C. C. Upshall and Dr. Paul Woodring, the research department is now deprived of both men, Dr. Woodring being in "* the t army at Fort Lewis, and Dr. Upshall, in a war industry in Tennessee. Miss Emma Erickson is now acting as consultant. : According to Mrs. Vida Greenieaf, secretary since last April, the activities of the bureau have been greatly curtailed on account of the war. The chief function, at this time, is conducting entrance tests, medical aptitude tests for medical school aspirants, and army and navy special program tests. The department also checks objective test papers submitted by any instructor. Formerly more complete findings were compiled concerning results of various tests, especially certain testing programs conducted at the campus school. Annually, Dr. TJp-shalf department director, has studied and interpreted results of individual mental testing at the campus school, a practice which will, of necessity, be discontinued this year. " Mrs. Greenieaf expressed the hope that the bureau will be able to continue its more scientific research with the return of its leaders after the war. . ; Publications Prom • • Plans Progress . ; ' • • Tentative plans are being made for . t h e annual Publications Prom scheduled for the evening of February llifih thee gymnasium.

So when we gather at the campus on Sehome hill this year of 1943, we can look back at the past homecomings that have been celebrated in a luxurious manner with football games, parades, balls, etc. Today we can say, "That's what we're fighting for in words of freedom of SPEECH, PRESS, RELIGION, and freedom from WANT." We can look at the flag that is draped in 'the main corridor with all its stars for former students now in the fight and the four gold stars that signify those who have perished for the cause. To you, RAY BARNES, ART TOOTH-MAN, THE STARKOVICH BROTHERS and all the others, we pledge that WWC is in the fight 100 per cent. XOOKING BACK With the football game the highlight of previous homecomings, we can look back and see some outstanding individual performances as well as team play. Many stars have shown brightly on this day of days on the gridiron here. The following list of fellows is an all-star Viking club judged just on performances in homecoming tilts. NAME-— BelL ..L...

NAMES WE REMEMBER— Many names stick in the minds of the students coming back to the campus for the homecoming celebration. Not only do they think of the students and friends they had, but of the staunch and sturdy group that carried the name of Western in the sports realm. A few names such are Bell, Hollingsworth, Lund, Brink-man, Bright, Desordi, Healy, Nurmi, Buswll, Gudyka, Forsn, Forsen,.. Gregg, Strankman, King, Sheppard, Fleming, Wind-sheiiner, Holtscheimer, Smith, Munkres, Targus and Bond. There are many, many others. MANY SPORTS WRITERS SERVE Many former sports writers and editors are serving Uncle Sam who have put down their coverage and ideas on this page in the past. Let's have a look: Al Biggs is in the Army, *as are Hardman, Dorcy, Krueger, Beecroft, Snow, Beckett, and numerous others. Jim Gilroy, and Art Reilly are doing a hitch with the Marine corps, Don Gooding is in the Navy. Many others are scattered around that have not been contacted but, all are doing a supreme job. INTRAMURAL ATHLETES IN SHOW The less pubicized athletes of the school, the intramural sportsman are also behind the Red, White, and Blue. Stenson, Ludwick, Duranceau, Verrill, Morsman, Robson, Bezzo, Fixx, Stinett, Smith, Boone, Wilder, Ropes, Moses, Lindsay, Hall, Johnson, Robinson, Loop, Brown, and droves of others have performed exceptionally in and after school league. MEN TEACHING DOING GREAT JOB With the nucleus of male teachers being drained from the teaching field into the service or into war work, those men who are in the systems have a double load. Not only do some of these men have to drive buses 60 and 70 miles a day, but all are overloaded with students and subjects. Our hats are off to such men as Huhta, Kvinsland, Zachrison, Solomon, Stewarts, Franko, Kemp, and lots of others who are doing an essential job. MEN AND WOMEN STUDENTS ARE PITCHING IN This year here at WWC the men and women students alike are pitching in and making the school and intramural activities a tower of success. Many odds face these two groups in their respective recreation programs, with the lack of participants and material. .Even with these obstacles to overcome, they, are going ahead and showing that old college, spirit that always has been predominant here. Gratitude is due these people for their work: Vincella Zankich, Iris Bowden, Ernie Ludwick, Larry Munizza, Dale Burklund,s Alice Anderson, Crystal Ackerman, and Marie Ernes. NICE GOING, FOLKS! WWC ROLLS ON— From the typing class where Hanify, Mover, Borchardt, and Hesby are.busy working, to the early morning music courses where you will find Dahlgren, Swenson, Wark, Stevens, Harmon, Mapes, and Endicott concentrating on recordings; and into the well organized ..psychology courses where Gilday, Baker, Coles, and Anderson listen to a lecture, or out among the type cases where Mr. Henry Hurd, the printing insructor is busy with reports, or further to the PE building where Sam a nd Lapp are devoting their time to the intramural program exclusively, with no varsity sports; everywhere, WWC is carrying o nits wartime program without so much as losing a step.

RUTH BURNE1 . . ; ...Publications Adviser iau Suryey Shows Slanguage Still Stylish • Slang is popular everywhere. Each college has its own terms and each student has his favorite... WWC is no exception. If you're around here #much, you probably know that when you hear "You say you're having trouble?" it would only take one guess to know that Betty Anderson is in the neighborhood. Pat Gardiner might say "Are you kidding?" and Joyce Dorman, "Check that!" Peggy Custer's favorite is "Quick ..like a bunny/' and Helen Rabb is for her "How crude." Alice Marie Anderson sticks to the old and dependable "Good-night!"...she says it fits almost any occasion, (how true..how true?) Betty Herr uses "For Pete's Sake" and'Zoskt Nogrowski's greeting is "What's your trouble, Babe?" Evelyn Philbrick, if asked about this story, would say, "Crazy, isn't it?" and Lorraine McConnell would call it "assinine." By now you would probably agree, so I'll come to a halt and—be seein* you. Can You Say, I Was There? Judging from the attendance, approximately 150 of the 235jstu-ents enrolled at'WWC didn't seem to know that there was a Mardi Gras in the Student lonnge last Friday night. Although the festive event was sponsored by the AWS for the benefit of the college war activity fund, students stayed away and listened to "I Love A Mystery or went to a movie instead. There is no logical excuse for the poor support of the event. Those who were there did enter into the spirit of things with enthusiasm and seemed to enjoy themselves. The Mardi Gras not only took much planning and. preparation, but also is for. a very worthy cause. Moreover, this affair was something dif ferent. A great variety of things were going on at once. There was activity to please everyone, and nothing cost more than a nickel. It wasn't one of these social events where you come at eight o'clock and stay until eleven, either. All that was necessary to make it a complete success was for everyone to drop in sometime during the evening even if only for a few minutes. Tribute should be paid to the girls who worked so hard on the Mardi Gras, though, and also to that small percentage who did attend. Some faculty members should be commenced for their sportsmanship in joining in the fun, also. However, the percentage^ supporters was decidedly low there, too. .• Why don't we members.of the Associated Student Body get associated? Brief Music Shown Again Tonight If the students who didn't attend the penthouse play, "Brief Music" last night feel up to it, it would be nice of them to drop in and see the production tonight. After the diligent practicing they've done, the "cast Would no doubt appreciate having the whole school, not a mere third, acknowledge the fact that there is a play being given. That goes for all of the remaining Home Front weekend activities as.well, for there's a luncheon tomorrow at noon, and-the annual homecoming dance tomorrow night. Walt Baker, Jeannette Bright and their committees nave pianned an active weekend for the college. These events weren't planned overnight. They are the product of plans that have been formulated since last spring. They are the result of lots of effort on someone's part. We Know Enthusiasm Exists ' After observing this morning the way the organizations around the campus responded to the call for skits for the traditional assembly, we know there's still a spark of life burning. This won't be literally much of a homecoming, but let's show those alums who do come back to celebrate with us that there's a college here with real live people in it. And let's see the 71 per cent who hibernated last- weekend come out for the winter and show a little pep. Welcome, Grads! It's great to see you back again; you former students now serving Uncle Sam, those of you who are teaching, and the rest of you who have assumed your responsibilities in the muddled world of today. Your appearance on our campus is helping to keep this traditional weekend celebration what it has always been—a friendly reuniting of old and new students at their college on the hill.

Mr. Bigelow's Reducing Machine!- All the other feminine onlookers from the cast of the forthcoming production "Brief Music" gaze upon this spectacle with green envious eyes. Ah, but Mary Louise is the lucky one!? Outstanding character at rehearsals has been that "love-less" man-hater, little Miss Ruthe Olds..my, she's really a game trouper to portray that part, and dont be so convincing, Ruthe. Yes, the cast of "Brief Music" is having their ups and downs but the result of this long hard struggle will be polished up for presentation this week and during the Home Front affairs. We await it with eager glimmer in our e y e . . . !! Letting Off Steam!! To whom it may concern: Why is it that everytime some big affair is put on by an organization, or the school, you, if you are chairman, choose a committee, tell them what to do, and at the last minute you find that they haven't done a thing that you have asked them to do; therefore, you work yourself to death to finish the job, so that the affair will be a success. It seems to me that people who are asked to do things should realize that they have accepted a responsibility. I wonder if they know what the word responsibility means? Why not ask the person who is chosen to be on your committee, if they will accept the job and see that it is done. If they won't, turn it over to someone else who is willing. Let's^ work together for a goal, and I am sure that we can have bigger and better successes during -the school year at WWC. Overworked Student. more s team ! • If you want something done -promptly, give it to someone who already has too much to d o . . ." I believe that practice is much in evidence here at WWC. It seems to me that each time a committee is organized or a chairman is needed for something or other, the same few people are selected to do the work. It is not only unfair to the students being overworked but also to some of the freshmen and new students who by now would like to display some of their talents along the group-organizing line.. I realize that some students cannot handle responsibility but in the main, college men and women like to feel that they can be trusted with doing a job and doing it well. Yes, I've heard all the arguments about needing a capable head for an important committee but what I want to know is, how can one learn to take charge of a committee without practice? I'll be darned if I know. XYZ. • Hi, Joe! Whaddya' know? Hello, Dick! How's she goin? Hi, there, Mary! Why, Bill, you old renegade, you!! Hello, Jean, how's teachin'? Glad to see ya'!!

WSS Fund Drive Next Week • Launching' the drive with a special assembly next week, the ASB will begin striving towards its approximate 250 dollar goal to aid the World Student Service fund. The drive has been taken over by the entire student body under the leadership of Doris Tedford, general war activities chairman. Among those assisting Miss Ted-ford in money raising plans will be: Lorraine McConnell, representing '.,.- the Blue Triangle club, and Ruthe . Olds, Glennis Sundberg, and Peggy Custer, members of the AWS Was activity committee. According to decisions reached at the Board of j. Control meeting Wednesday, the committee in charge" will draw up an added social schedule for next quarter, the benefits of which will be placed in the World Student Service fund. Posters advertising the drive are being made by Miss. Hazel Plymp-ton's art classes.

Langlie, governor of the State of Washington, will appear in an assembly at 2:30 p. m. today. After his speech in the auditorium, Governor Langlie will adjourn to the faculty room where he will meet members of the student body and faculty. Following the reception, the Associated Women Students are serving tea in their lounge across the hall from the faculty room. This will be the first time Governor Langlie has given an address at Western Washington College. However, he did visit the campus about two years ago. President W. W. Haggard comments, "The visit of the governor is an important occasion and we are very happy to welcome him to this campus." Faculty Goes Over Chest Fund Quota , • Contributing $1530, the faculty and staff of WWC passed the $1100 mark to go over their quota as'they closed the books this week on their annual campaign for the Bellingham Community and War Chest fund. Contacting the faculty and staff and handling the contributions, Dr. E. A. Bond, mathematics instructor, worked as chairman of the Chest Fund committee, assisted by Miss Georgia Gragg, handwriting teacher. "With the exception of one staff member who was away," stated Dr. Bond, "the faculty and staff responded 100% with their subscriptions, "Also," he .added, "the faculty has never failed to meet their annual quota and have several times been the only Bellingham agency to do so." In an effort to preserve the home front for the men on the fighting front, volunteer workers of Bellingham are. conducting this Com-, munity and War Chest drive which benefits 17 national War Fund agencies, such as the TJSO, war prisoners aid, and war relief s. Victor, Moyle Bitter Foes • Did you know that Victor H. Hoppe and Moyle Cederstrom are the bitterest of enemies? Yes, they are. And that's not all! Moyle Cederstrom was seen madly pursuing Doris Buchanan. And still more dirt!! Victor Hoppe held Jan-ette Woodring's hand, as she lay on her death bed; So, you don't believe it. Well it all happens in the second part of the Minstrel show, November 30. The faculty is to present "Uncle Tom's Cabin," with the following cast: Victor H. Hoppe, drama instructor, Uncle Tom; Mrs. Janette Woodring, Little Eva; Dr. M. F. Cederstrom, English instructor, Simon Legree; H. H. Hearsey, reference librarian, Lawyer Mark; Mrs. Doris Buchanan, financial secretary. Eliza; Miss Myrtle Burnham, recorder, Topsy; and Miss Margaret McQee, science instructor, Ophelia. Concerning the first part of the show, Mr. Hoppe made the following statement "I was very much encouraged by the fine rehearsal held last Tuesday. The students show great interest, and I am sure they will put on a good show." Christmas Vacation Period Announced • Although there were many college volunteers throughout the state, the Wenatchee farmers have passed the peak of their apple harvesting without much student assistance. Because WWC was not called upon to aid in the crop harvesting Dr. W. W. Haggard has announced that the college will be dismissed on Friday, December 10. The Christmas vacation period will extend from Saturday. December 11 until Monday, January 3. "This three week vacation will provide an excellent job opportunity for students wishing to further the war effort," stated Dr. W. W. Haggard. What-a-Sho Queen Crowned Tonight • With Jackie Shepherdson, senior, Shirley Evans, junior, and Donna Myatt, sophomore, as royalty, the students and faculty of Bellingham high school will stage their annual What-a-Sho tonight at 8 o'clock in the high school auditorium. Contrasting with the light nature of the evening's entertainment will be the more dignified event the coronation of the queen, coming near the conclusion of the show and being the colorful highlight of the program. Clint Nunamaker will furnish the music for the dance held annually in the high school gym following this performance; The price of this year's What-a-Sho tickets is 75 .".cents. '',-.. ••-" Launching Broadcast Luncheon Feature Chairmen Bright and Baker Plan Home Front Schedule Of Play, Luncheon, Launching, Broadcast, Dance • Upholding the annual Homecoming tradition this year despite present war conditions, WWC will celebrate Home Front, as it is now known, on November 18, 19, and 20, under the chairmanship of JeanneUe Bright and Walt Baker. Highlights of the week-end events will be the assembly at 11 a. m., Friday; the penthouse play, "Brief Music," Thursday and Friday nights, the luncheon and ship launching broadcast Saturday noon; a second showing of "Brief Music" Saturday afternoon for alumni and faculty; and a sports dance in the Student lounge to wind up the activities on Saturday night. The ship launching will be broadcast during the luncheon over KVOS between 12:30 and 1 p. m. There is a possibility that Don Neal, former WWC student, who has been announcing for KXA in Seattle recently, will act as master of ceremonies. The program will consist of speeches by Jack N. Gilbert, president of the Northwest Shipbuilding company, Harry Hard, personnel manager, and Queen Sigrid VL a description of the actual ceremony by the commentator;.and several musical numbers. Volunteer to act as escort to the queen and her attendents are asked to report to Stuart Moldrem or Walt Baker. After the broadcast at the luncheon, Frank Brock, assistant superintendent of Seattle schools, will speak. Mr. Brock received his bachelor of arts degree at WWC in 1942. All students as well as alumni are urged to attend the luncheon. Tickets will be on sale in the main hall during Home Front week. Queen Sigrid VI will be crowned by President Haggard during the assembly on Friday morning and she and her court will rule the week-end activities. The assembly will consist of skits and special numbers presented by any club or organized- group in school. All group heads and club presidents are urged to have their members present some sort of entertainment. A brief outline of the planned skit should be reported to either Jeanette Bright or Walt Baker by next Wenedsday. The penthouse style play annually presented by dramatic students of WWC under the direction of Victor H. Hoppe, of the speech department, will be given on Thursday and Friday night at 8 p. m., and again on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, with all alumni as special guests. The play has ah all girl cast headed by Jeanne Knudsen, sophomore, and Merrie JMandson. freshman. The finale to the week-end festivities will be the sports dance in the Student lounge on Saturday at 9 p. m. There will be no admission charge for the dance. It will be a "stag" affair and invitations have'been sent to service men at the Coast Guard base, the air port, and at the Whidby Island Naval base. Walt Baker, co-chairman of Home Front, reports that the officer in charge at the local Coast Guard base has already promised to grant some extra leaves for that weekend. The committee hopes, that as many old grads as can possibly do so will attend the dance, as well as other actvities, to keep the traditional Homecoming spirit from being entirely lost. In keeping with its war-time theme, Home Front and all-out conservation programs, the. lounge will not be decorated for the dance. However, war stamps will be sold. Educators Return • Tuesday evening faculty members returned from the Northwest Society for the Supervision and Curriculum development conference at Broadway high school. Dr. W. W. Haggard, Miss Leslie Hunt, Miss Emma Erickson, Miss Synva Nicol, Miss Vivian Johnson, Dr. Paul Grim, and Dr. Lucy Kangley attended. if Edens Blue Room Setting for Play • Edens Hall Blue room will be the setting for "Brief Music" instead of the Student Lounge, as previously announced. The play, a part of the Home Front Week-end program, will be given on Thursday and Friday nights, November 18 and 19, for the students, and on Saturday, November 20, for the alumni, faculty, and guests. "Brief Music" is the story of a few - brief experiences in a girls' dormitory at Vassar college.- It contains comedy.and some pathos. ---------- WWCollegian - 1943 November 5 - Page 2 ---------- mm^_arm WesternA/^ii|^fon Colleger of Education Bdlin|ff m, ^ h i h g t p j r Friday, iNlover • MOTHER NATURE must like to play soccer.

DALE BURKLUND—Seattle Pacific college had big Dale's services last year and the boys in the southern city had a number one ball player and. hustler in Mr. Burklund. Playing intramural ball this year for Ludwick's team, he is a big factor in why they lead the league. He will be the boy to keep your eyes trapped on this coming winter. .

Jim has a bad leg from a break this summer .but. will be. able to hobble with the best, of competition. KJELL DAHI—This is his first; year of college ball and with his few appearances in the intraschool league has shown up very well.

BTJTH BTJRNElL............ . .Publications Adviser cditoriali WHERE'S THE OL' SPIRIT? Committee heads have been heord reporting that there is a lack of acuteness in Home Front Week-end enthusiasm. No, there won't be a stirring gridiron battle out in that crisp fall air this year. But there will be an unusually new feature to compensate for having no football game. SOME THINGS ARE NEW Our Home Front queen vvifl launch a ship at the Northwest Shipbuilding yards with the four princesses as her attendants. Never before has WWC sponsored a launching. Sigrid VI will be the first queen of the homecoming celebration not to reign during a football game, but she will also be the first Queen Sigrid ever to launch a ship for victory. Every night, passersby hear the ardent play practice going on in Mr. Hoppe's drama department. • The comedy of "Brief Music," which is also on the Home Front Week-end schedule, is bound to be entertaining. Judging from the somewhat secretive plottting of certain campus organizations, the Home Front assembly skits aren't going to lack originality. What's needed now is more organizations getting more original ideas and making plans for their skits, too. • SOME THINGS ARE THE SAME The alumni luncheon and Saturday night dance are retaining ;their places in the annual homecoming week-end schedule, so. iwhy shouldn't this be a success- •fui celebration? Traditionally, homecoming is a highlight of the college year.

Wondered what their unsuspected interests might be? Well, a little boid gave me the low-down on a few. He told me that Dr. M. S. Ceder-strom makes cabinets and hand weaves. Dr. Fred Knappman's secret desire is to own a boat. He's crazy about them. Coach C. F. Lappenbusch is a fiend for fishing. He spends half of his time out on the Sound, dangling some poor, innocent worm from a hook. Donald G. Bnshell repairs musical instruments in his spare time. This staff member's private Gestapo told him that there was always a saxophone or clarinet partially assembled lying around his house. Dr. Arthur C. Hicks's unsuspected interest is on the keyboard. There's a rumor abroad that he could be a concert pianist. iMSss Linda Countryman is the out-of-door type. She rides horseback, and during vacation, when she can, she goes on pack trips. Now for the most amazing, Edward J. eners. Mr. Arntzen's specialty is roses; Mr. Kibbe's is dahlias. That's all the little bold could dig up for now, but maybe he can worm more out later. Six Valks Initiates Survive Ordeal • Easily recognised' last Friday by their very pink faces and slight limp, (the result of smeared lipstick and forced exercise) were six new Valkyrie members who successfully passed the rigid "trial by ordeal" initiation. The first half of the initiation was more or less a contest between the older members. Each one wanted to see if she could make a bigger mess out of the.poor initiates by gently smearing lipstick on the victims and then sending them through the "spats" several times. Later, in a candlelight ceremony the six girls were officially welcomed into the club and refreshments consisting of cider and doughnuts were served them.

UNION Printing Co. „ 1421 Cornwall Ave. Just North of Postoffice - Student 'Letting Off Steam' Expresses Teaching Views • Th word education is or should be the most patient word in the-language. It has been caUed lots of names: aristocratic, democratic, classical, technical, liberal, progressive, practical, social; individual not to mention the less bombastic epithets of lower intermediate higher, graduate and post-graduate. Since I've been interested in the teaching profession and education, I've taken a deep concerning inquisitiveness into Just what education is and how it is being done. Education has been divided and sub-divided down to the very dust,.and linked with methods from the most common sense to the most fantastic. With so much loving care and experimentation expended upon it, one would naturally think it had arrived at a state of near perfection. Alas!. this is not the case. From observations and the reading of books I have found, education is a little topsy-turvy, even here at Western Washington*. The tinkerers are still tinkering with it, as one does with a machine that is badly worn. It does not yet yield the results expected of it. Each, level blamse the next lower one for its anability to measure up to standard. Latest Treatment Is Streamlining Curiously enough, however, the latest treatment prepared for education is streamlining. The main trouble with education is, to listen to the latest tinkers, that we've had too much of it; we've allotted it more time than it really deserves. Now, so the theory goes, we can get better results if we will only cut out a couple of years devoted to it. Men from the service who come back and have been through various schools say the same. Of course, this is all on the assumption that future educators intend, really to educate, and not to fuss around with things,that have no place in the educational process outside the home, the church, or the social life of the local community. It assumes that schools henceforth are to be places where youngsters are to be made to work, rather than to be entertained. It assumes that at long last, an effort is to be expended upon material of lasting value, material that will afford genuinely healthy exercise for mental muscles and moral stamina. \ Will the New Trend Meet Success? " ^v, I am not too sure that this latest tinkerer—may his tribe increase and flourish—will ever succeed. To draw up a plan for education, a new organization and design, is one thing, but to overcome the vast confusion, in the mind on what is most worth achieving in life is quite another. If this mind ever gets that question settled, the patience and long suffering of education will be rewarded, for then educators will agree on what education is for and so be able to set out to get it. Sincerely, AZZLSKTT. aa mrvi Ah, MEN! Well, well, WELL! Guess what the EWC students have thought up, a pin-up MAN. No, I'm not kiddin' you, the EWC's paper, the Journal, reports that their press club is sponsoring this contest to decide which former male student of EWC, who is now in the service, is the ideal PIN UP MAN of the student-body. P. S. The student body of that college is even more predominantly female than our own WWC xzxzxzxzxz : DATE BUREAU? Many of the papers received at WWCollegian office report great success in establishing date bureaus to aid the girls in meeting more of that scarce though un-rationed commodity MEN. Not a bad idea^ what? xzxzxzxzxz APPLE PICKUP The U of Washington was planing to close a week for apple picking, as was WWC, but when the plans fell through they went ahead and had their week off.

X-rvWSSF-JKKW "Nestled there among the grandeur reigns the white and blue. Colors of our alma mater—hail, all hail to you." . "' ' Last week, we called you freshmen newcomers. This week you are settled and have swung into the spirit of WWC activities. Now it's not only our alma mater, it's yours, too. We, the upperclassmen, dedicate to you this scene of our college campus and all the traditions that go with it. Campus-School' Tops Previous Bond Sales • Selling more bonds and stamps the first two weeks of this year than in the highest sales month last year, the Campus Junior high and Elementary schools started the second year's bond drive. Mary Lou Mulherne and Hope Moore, ninth grade students, have been in charge of the drive so far this year for the junior high school. Miss Leslie Hunt, ninth grade instructor, has announced that a new committee will be chosen every three weeks. Since 1942 the Campus schools have sold a grand total of $2,653.50 worth of defense stamps and bonds. Dr. Paul R. Grim, Campus school director, has expressed the opinion that the children feel it a privilege to take part in the drive. He remarked, "More money is having to be set aside every week as the sales are mounting rapidly." Dean Buchanan Guest Speaker • Dean Daniel Buchanan of the University of British Columbia at Vancouver was a guest speaker at the regular assembly last Tuesday morning. His topic was "Education and Good Will." Dean Buchanan, who is dean of the College of Liberal Arts, finds that, our American colleges are not different from those in Canada. i • .. . • "The greatest difference right now between'our schools," remarked Dean Buchanan, "is that our Canadian ftien students' are not taken out of college for military training but rather, they; are trained in the sciences right at school." "So you see we have more men on our campuses," grinned the stocky, gray-haired man.1 Canadian schools also participate in War Activities, such as army, navy, air f of ce,and Red Cross. British 'Sparks Sees Action By DALE BURKLUND • "It wouldn't have been so bad if he had just sneaked out quietly from the gun crew and hid, but he made a dash for it, all the while screaming at the gun crew to 'run The chief would have shot the big baby right there, is he had had a gun," quietly related Jeff Paige, Second Class Radioman of the British Merchant Marine. "Not that he was the" only man aboard that was frightened; I'd defy anyone there to say he wasn't afraid." "However,". Jeff continued, "this man, a coward, was dancing the native crew to mutiny," Jeff added: Portrays English Spirit These few sentences give a pretty clear insight to this man's character and ability. He probably symbolizes the spirit of the English people as well as any person could. Paige, who is only nineteen, hasn't been home for three andJ a half years, but has been continuously on the move since .his entrance into the Merchant-Marine, supplying His Majesties and the United States men of war in every theater of naval combat. The radioman tells of experiences when, his ship lay near the battle of Crete, the evacuation of Singapore. He tells also about being the only ship on. his convoy to get' successfully •• away from Java, even then having a gaping hole in the ship made by a Jap torpedo. "It seems as though providence or fate has been watching over the ships I have been aboard," smiled Jeff. "Once, our convoy and escort was coming up on some-straits we had to pass through to get to our port off Java. Seeing a convoy just coming out of the straits as we approached, we were startled to suddenly see a Jap sub pop to the c; (Continued on Page Two ' Student Supervisor Needed for Lounge • Because no manager has been selected as yet for the Student lounge, it has been closed except from 12 to 1 p.- m. and 3 to 5 p. m., daily. According to Declan Barron, ASB prexy, this is only a temoprary arrangement. Barron explains that the lounge must be kept in tip-top condition for many students worked and boosted the lounge plan for at least three years to actually see it come through. Board of Control executives agree that until proper management has been provided these shortened opening hours will be observed. Interclub Holds Annual Rally • Monday evening in the Blue room of Edens hall, the Interclub council held its annual club rally, under the leadership of Jeanette Bright, presidents President W. W. Haggard discussed the important part the various clubs play in campus life at this time.. Using the International Relations ,club as an example, he showed what a scope of .activties could be carried on by various organizations. . Following Dr. Haggard's talk, presidents and representatives of the AWS, WRA, Valkyrie, Vanadis Bragis,. Blue Triangle, Alkisiah, ACE, and trie College Christian Fellowship, active. clubs on the campus, • told about their club and of its present purpose.- - After a short musical program, -refreshments were served. - Harvesters' Tentative ;,,. gt; Leaving Date Saturday, Qcotber 9 *~ • Tentative plans are being made for WWC to participate in relieving the apple harvest crisis.. Many permission blanks already have been given out and sent home for the signature of parents. In the~ Sunday edition of the P.-L, a plea was made for all volunteer help throughout the state as the peak period in; the apple industry will come in about a week or ten daysA "Due to the lack of out-of-state : labor, the responsibility of har- . vesting this valuable crop rests right where it did last year—on the shoulders of the men and women of the state," said the correspondent. • , , If student labor is called in,, they will be housed mostly-in the homes.- of the growers-where it will cost them $1.50 per day for board and room. Also if the student picks apples for-six days, he is guaranteed his round trip transportation costs. Wages, are teii cents a box which is considerably higher than they have been in previous years. Present plans provide for this school to leave on October 9 and return on October 17 with students being; sent in small groups to Xhe various ...ranches to work. Much of the harvested fruit will be sent to the men in our fighting forces both here and overseas. Thus students will play an important wartime role in helping with the harvest.

Richards Voted Edens Prexy • Margaret Richards was chosen by the resident girls to lead their dormitory for the fall quarter at san election held in the Blue Room of Edens hall Tuesday. September 28. Other newly-elected officers are: Shirley Olson,-vice-president; Zosia Nowogroski, secretary-treasurer; Alice Marie Anderson, social chairman; Lorna Jean Booras, house reporter. Nominated candidates were: president, Ruth Olds, Shirley Olson; secretary-treasurer, Helen Bagley, Crystal Ackerman, Mary Louise Burke; social chairman, Rachel Blekkink; house reporter, Marilyn Anderson, Lucille Bovee. Being the first house meeting of the quarter, the girls were informed by Miss Lorraine Powers, dean of women, on the rules and traditions of Edens hall. Given the opportunity to present any desired changes in the hall schedule, they unanimously voted to advance the dinner hour to 5:45 p. m. The current topic of discussion, apple-harvest, found a majority of the girls eager to substitute as prewar men and help relieve the labor shortage. Thus, if WWC is called upon to help, Edens hall will be closed during, the week of October 9 to 17. more interview \ (Continued from Page One) surface and brazenly start taking pot shots at the other convoy. We found out later that they hadn't had a guri between them and the Japs knew it. Japs Crash Dive "Our destroyer escort started firing at the sub, and the Japs must have known trouble was near when they saw the shell bursts," explained Jeff. "Because they crash dived immediately and our men of war started using depth charges. Well, that Jap was:. smart because while our escorts were-trying to find him out in front of us, he, cut right under our whole convoy and picked off our end ship." His most interesting experience took place coming, out of that same strait leaving Java. The same Jap sub torpedoed his ship, and it started to list immediately and almost capsized before they got it balanced and on an even keel again. The rest of the convoy went on and left the ship and its crew to their fate. They started to put into a port in Java and were signaled off as the" Japs were moving in on the city. They made for Columbo, 3000 miles away, and figured they had been through a pretty rugged experience by the time they reached the harbor. There they learned, however, that their convoy had sailed right into the Jap fleet-after leaving them. Pals and ships had been picked off, like shooting clay pigeons, as they had no way of protecting themselves. Compares Bombers When Radioman Paige was asked about the comparison between Jap dive bombers and those of Germany, (he went through terrific bombings from both) he said, "the Germans were the best" in his estimation. They use psychology along with their bombing. All sorts of devices were used to make horrible sounds. The Jerries have invented attachments that cause shrieking noises as they dive, or sound like all the sirens in the city of New York's fire department. Their newest addition is flaps added to the wings of the planes that sound like hundreds of machine guns.. The Jap dive bombers seemed much faster to Jeff, but they gave up a lot in accuracy. Japan has trained its fliers to be much more reckless and they seem to care little for their own lives. In summing up his comparisons, Paige decided the biggest difference was in the attitude of the fliers; The Heines seemed to be cold, calculating, and unhurried, as though they could pick you off any time they decided to do so, while the Japs were quick, reckless, and inaccurate, giving the bombed the idea they had at least a fifty-fifty chance. Jeff Looks To Future "I'm looking forward to the end of this thing, to the end of poor guns and ammunition, to the end of 'too. little, too late,' to going home to the girl that's waiting and parents, and to a life of peace and FIX UP YOUR ROOM With a S T U D I O DIVAN HANDSOME COMFORTABLE INEXPENSIVE B.

Initiation Tea Next Week • Freshman and other students joining the WRA for the first time will be honored with an initiation tea next Wednesday afternoon in the Edens Hall Blue room. They will become full fledged members when they sign the scroll at this annual event. June Benjamin, junior, is chairman of the tea. Betty Brunswig is in charge of decorations. studying art or medicine," Jeff solemnly admitted. "Yes, and I often wonder if men will stop fighting. If people can't fight other people then they will fight among themselves. I often doubt very much if there will be an end to wars, but if there ever is, I believe that we have the opportunity to do it this time. I wonder if we can?" That's the question on the minds of the United Nations fighting men all over the world. Maybe they'll have the answer, too.

Russell Washburn, Hazel Anderson Hear Wedding Bells • Of interest to the student body should be the wedding of Miss Hazel Anderson and Corporal Russell Washburn, both former students of WWC. They were married at the Washburn home in Marysville on Saturday, September 10. Only close friends and the immediate members of both families were present. Immediately after the wedding, bride and groom left for a short honeymoon in Wenatchee. Corporal Washburn was a former staff member of the WWCol-legian and was very active in campus affairs. He recently - returned from Kiska, Alaska, where he has been stationed .with the armed forces. Mrs. Washburn was popular on the campus last year having been editor of the Klipsun, a member of the Valkyries and chairman of various functions here on the campus. At present she is teaching in the Vancouver public school in Vancouver, Washington. WRA Turnouts Miss Frosh • "Say, freshman! Where were you when we had the first volleyball turnout?" This question was asked by the faithful WRA "turner-outer" after their workout in the gymnasium last Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. You can't say you don't know , about it now, so they are expecting a big turnout next week. The schedule for 4 p. m. turnouts is as follows: Monday, Blue Barnacles meet; Tuesday, volleyball turnout; and Wednesday, Hockey and soccer will be played. • BARBER SHOP NATIONAL BEAUTY SHOP 1306 Cornwall Av.

Ludwick, Wittren, Wark. Foster, Burkland, Moldrem, Wills, Munizza, and Pomeroy are just a few of the boys who are lined up on the probable club. With this strength Lap-py would have one of the.strongest aggregations in this vicinity and also one of the top clubs in the school's history. Several of ' these boys are awaiting calls from Uncle Sam and can not be counted on 'til the season rolls around. Well, anyway^vfans, we can say that as long as there is light there is hope and that sure can be true in the White and Blue's future. Girls Plan Program y 0 Women's sports at WWC are going to be handled in a full size scale oh the campus this fall according to the women's recreation advisors. Our hats are off to you girls and we are hoping you will make a progressive program out of it to take care of the lack of varsity sports this fall. Miss Hawke is the main spring to this program and is devoting a lot of time in making this a success on a large basis. Girls, the thing for you to do now is to get lined up in some kind of competitive sport and help put this program over. Athletes on Production Line Two former WWC pigskinners are, doing a big job in the War effort right here in the Northwestern •Shipyard in South Bellingham. They are Phil. Crimmins and Charles Halbert, both one time gridiron greats on the campus here and now holding down important production jobs. Crimmins is head Engineering draftsman and Halbert is head allowance engineer. Many people will remember these boys for their gridiron feats at school here on the hill.

Two MR. WITTREN George Dack Gets Mail •George Dack, the campus beau-tification engineer, seems to be the most popular man on the campus with former students as far as the letter department goes. George, who always has been a popular man with • the students at school here has received numerous letters from some of his boys and girls of the past lately. Some of the letters were from Pete Gudyka, Dick Dombroski, Alick Mitchell, An- 6r Buswell and several others. Our campus is one that each and every one of the students here should be proud of, and nobody can be given credit for its appearance more than Dack and his two helpers, Pete Lunstrom and John Pol-son. has a war time tinge to it as he has four women enrolled—Rich Wittren says his little girl is going to belong to the WRA and be real active-- catch the hint girls.

Established 1884 • The noise that could be heard for miles around/this last Monday was not somebody at Hospice Inn being murdered but Rich Wittren announcing the fact that he was the proud father of a beautiful baby girl, Sharon Lee gt; Wittren. Just a little *over a week ago Ernie Ludwick, a member of the same Viking club as Wittren, treated with the birth of a baby boy. Rich was the first freshman at Western Washington College ever to win the all Winco nominee. Witt comes from the Grays Harbor city of Hoquiam where he was a performer on the 42 state champion Grizzly five. He is a wonderful floor worker. Rich and Lud both will be back this year for basketball and it looks as if the college will have two number one rooters in Sharon Lee and Robert Ludwick. The WWCollegian and the whole WWC student body extend to you boys best wishes. Gome Qui Every Thursday night in the ..school year, the college gymnasium and swimming pool is open to all students registered at WWC. . Mixed rec at school here always has been a highlight in the extra-curricular activities list because it is one night that men and women alike can use the pool and gym together.. Many things are offered at the Thursday evening hours from 7 to 9 such as swimming, badminton, volleyball, basketball, fencing, and several others. Each student should take it upon himself to come out on this night and mix in with his fellow students. This last summer all pitched in and made a point to be out and enjoy the fun. Sam Carver is in charge for the evening and if' there are 'any questions that anyone would like to ask, they are directed to see him. MB.

Gerald Pells, from Sedro-Woolley, a tall boy interested in track and basketball, a freshman who plays intramural volleyball for THE CHOCOLATE KIDS. Three Close Scores Decide First Games gt; gt;• Pulling the cat out of the bag0 is just an old saying it sure ran true blue with the intramural volleyball league's opening encounter ' last Monday evening in the gym when Stewart "Sugar" Moldrem's Chocolate Kids upset the much favored Hospice Inners 3 to 2.. -.. "Big Sugar's" boys* jumped right out in front in the first game of the two out of three series and remained on top until midway in the second game. At this ~ point It looked awfully bad for the favorites until they put on a terrific spurt led by Dale Burkland, Murray Goff, Lloyd Jones, and Fred Martinson and practically flew by their rivals to bring things up to an even one, all bases. Both teams tamed their pace following the see-saw second game and the Kids slid in with a fairly easy margin to cop the laurels. Moldrem's height gave the Inners a slight deficit all through the evening and with Sam Carver, Warren Lambert, Gerald Pells, and Tom Hillier to set them up for him to boom, the boys on the other side of the net were almost defenseless. Both clubs showed up very well for this being^ their first taste of battle. Team work is the tru secret of the volleyball circles and for the amount of previous experience these boys have had, they will be world beaters before long.

We see the ball teetering precariously on the lip of the basket—a yelling mob of gals dancing wildly around the court. It drops in and the Fireballs and Powder Puffs are tied.

Private Harold Hardman, who was sports editor last winter and spring quarters, asks that the paper be sent his way as soon as possible. He says he'd like to find out how the WRA does in football this year. Private Hardman is stationed at Camp Roberts, California. According to word received from former WWC student's now with the Navy in Dickinson, North Dakota, the boys are having intra-squad football games down there.

Yes, they'll tell you of the good old days of '42 and '43 when1 there were really quite a number of men students a t WWC, in the V-l and V-12 reserves. Those boys disappeared from these familiar haunts ori or about last' July 1, but don't you sometimes wonder what they're doing and how they're getting along now? Well, here's a rough idea of how h a r d , those reserves sent to the University of Washington are working. ^ ' - .•• Fred Knapman, of the Science department, has received a very informative letter from Nathan Thai, A.S., who attended WWC last year. - "'_ "Nate" is taking a pre-medics course with a 20-hour curriculum plus two hours of PE. His subjects are chemistry, premedical zoology, German, English composition and speech. At Navy House "K", where Thai is stationed, the day's activities start with bugle call at 5:30 a. m. At 6 a. m. the seamen begin a half • hour of calisthenics. In the following fifteen minutes they return to their rooms and prepare for breakfast, to which they march in a body at 6:45 a. m. Classes begin at 8 a. m. and run to 5 p. m. with 30 minutes for lunch. Supper is served in the evening from 5:15 to 6.p'lock, and the boys march from 6:15 until 7 o'clock. From then until 10 p. m. study hours are strictly enforced (no talking or listening to radios or phonographs allowed). Special permission to have "late lights" is granted, provided that you have an exceptional amount of studying to do, which, according to Thai, is not unusual. A two-point grade average must be maintained. Saturday mornings are reserved for inspection, which they prepare for on Friday evenings. From Saturday afternoon until Sunday evening the seamen are at liberty, if they are not restricted on account of grades. Wish you were there? Well, we really can't complain, can we?

Declan Barron, ASB prexy, announced the following students to head war committees: Doris Tedford, war activities " chairman; Betty Fisher, chairman of hospitality toward servicemen; Ruth Kosche, Red Cross; and Shirley Olson, bandages. Cale Campbell was appointed organizer of the Friday night rec hours. To determine the policies and hours of the students' Co-op, Ruthe Olds was appointed chairman of the Co-op board and will be helped by' the following committee members: Dale Burklund, Ruth Kosche, Betty Fisher, and Virginia Sorgen-ftei Also announced by Barron, although not appointed by the Board of Control, was the new Student Standards committee. This committee was appointed by Dr. W. W. Haggard and prexy Barron and serves as a "censor" 'group to pass the fitness of school activities. Headed by Dean of Women, Lorraine Powers and Fred Knapman of the Science department for faculty advisers, it is composed of Jim Gilday, Ruby Stroebels, and June Benjamin. Details of the Home Front weekend are as yet very indefinite, according to Barron, but the. activities during that week-end will undoubtedly be cut considerably due to war conditions. "However," said Dec with a grin, "we are at least sure of the all-girl play, "Brief Music" being on the program." College Who's Who Nominees Chosen • Representatives of WWC have been chosen for Who's Who among students in American universities and colleges, by Lorraine Powers, dean of women, and Dr. Arthur C. Hicks, registrar, after consultation with student leaders. Declan Barron, student body president was nominated for the second year. Other nominees are: Aileen Gardiner, AWS president; Jeannette Bright, Interclub council president; Marie Eines, Bernice Elenbaas, Ruth Kosche. Margaret Richards, Cheryl Smith, and Ruby Stroebels. Students receiving this honor were chosen for character, scholarship, leadership in extra-curricular activity, and the possibilities of their usefulness to the country after graduation from college. This record, published annually by the University of Alabama, is used by business firms for placement purposes. Last Terminal Exam Today • Fall terminal examinations are being held Thursday and Friday of this week according to Dr. Arthur C. Hicks, registrar. These examinations are required of all diploma students having sixty-five or more in permits to go apple picking, so /credits but who have not as yet been admitted into student teach- Apple Picking Trip Improbable Now • Sixty-two student have turned far. President W. W. Haggard stated that it is evident that we will not go this week-end and, although it seems improbable that we will be called on, we may receive word next week. In case of an unforseen emergency in the harvesting of the apple crop, all permits should be in so that there will be no unnecesary delay. ing. The examinations this fall are given partly for new transfer students and to former students who were not here for examinations last spring. Students taking the examinations are being excused from their classes during these tests. However, tests have been so arranged that students have found it possible to attend some of their classes. Kunz To Explain Indian Affairs • Fritz Kunz, outstanding American authority on India and the Southwestern Pacific, will appear in the regular student assembly next Tuesday. He will discuss India's problems in the present crisis and what may be expected from this enigmatic land, when the hour of her freedom is at hand. "In his abiity to hold an audience's attention and to make an hour seem like fifteen minutes, Mr. Kunz has, to my knowledge, no superior among American lecturers. He is constantly entertaining, vividly clear, and intellectually stimulating. More than this, he is inspiring, opening to the minds of his. listeners new pathways of hope and idealism," is the enthusiastic report of Professor Arleigh B. Williamson, chairman of the department of public speaking at New York University. Mr. Kunz knows India and her problems as do few Americans because of his long residence among her people and his close knowledge of the Nationalist leaders who are now at the helm in her affairs. In his lecture, he will tell of the struggles, the idealism and he realistic consideration which must guide the leaders of India. Mr. Kunz now makes his home FRITZ KUNZ at Fort Chester, N. Y., where he is working on a new book on Indian philosophy and edits the monthly magazine, Main Currents in Modern Thought. Vol. XLIII—NO. 4 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, October 15, 1943' Minstrel Given O.K. Elman First Civic Music Guest " VIOLINIST MISCHA ELMAN • Thirty-five years have elapsed since Mischa Elman faced his first American audience in the old Manhattan Opera House and lifted his violin to his chin as the Boston- Symphony orchestra struck the opening chords of the Tchaikowsky concerto. A few months later, December 10, 1908, to be exact, the same lad made his Carnegie hall debut and proceeded to become one,, of the timeless talents of this century. On his current tour, Mr. Elman will appear in about fifty American cities, a fact that attests his undiminished popularity. An outstanding factor is Mr. El-man's unabated self-vigilance. "I practice a great deal; in order to play well you must. Those who say they don't—and who play well —really do practice a great deal." Elman's artistry, which has continued unflaggingly for a generation, was first heard in this country when Oscar Hammerstein brought him from triumphs in Europe to astound New York audiences that time at the old Manhattan Opera House in 1908. Since that day, the "Elman tone" has been' heard on every continent in the world, South America being the last to come under his violin-istic sway. During a five months tour, from June to October, 1939, he played more than fifty concerts College Instructors Take Vacation . • Missing from the fall quarter faculty staff of WWC this quarter are two instructors, Miss Charlotte Richardson, industrial arts instructor, and Miss Nora Cummins, social science instructor. Both faculty members are on their usual annual leave from- school, and plan to return for next quarter's work. FLASH! Every student of WWC is eligible to attend the fall semi-formal that will be' sponsored by the Norsemen on October 29. For further particulars see the sports page. in Brazil, Argentine, Uruguay, Chile and Peru. His new horizons are musical as well as geographic. This year he commisioned Buhuslav Marinu to compose a new concerto which will receive its world premiere this fall when the violinist appears with the Boston Symphony under the baton of Serge Kousevitzky. Elman's appearance in the city next Tuesday, is under the auspices of the Bellingham Civic Music association. The local association has just had a very successful membership week. Because of the large number of people joining and the fact that there are no longer any seats available, there is a waiting list at the present time. The five concerts that have been arranged for the musical year are as follows: October 19, Mischa Elman, violinist; November 19, Dos-olina Gianini, soprano; January 11, E. Robert Schmitz, French pianist; March 2, Douglas Beattie, bass baritone; March 10, Ballet Theatre. Etudents were urged to make their reservations this week with Nils Bosson of the Music department, in room 210 if they planned to attend teh concert Tuesday, October 19, which is to take place in the Bellingham high school auditorium at 8 p. m. Staff Holds Annual Theme Secret • Klipsun staff members took a big forward step when they selected their theme this week. To carry out this most modern theme will entail a great deal of experimental work. The secret theme is now being woven into the dummy forms. Freshmen and sophomore class pictures have been taken and efforts are being made to find a photographer to take a number of candid shots. , The size of the'book will be jsmaller than last year due to a reduction in the supply of materials and a cut in the allowance granted to the book. Colored Man Talent Tryout Tuesday • The blackface boys and gals are swinging down to WWC, November 12, with a program-of Blues, Boogie and Barrelhouse, in hopes of accumulating some Do-Re-Me; to replenish the depleted Student lounge fund. Along with the jive will be some of the good old minstrel songs find jokes. And that's notv all. There; also will be many humorous skits, dances and parodies. The show will be presented under the direction of the freshmen, who want to help the upperclassmen who have worked so. hard to make the student lounge a success. Although the frosh are directing the show, any student in the school may try for the parts, states the committee in charge. Tryouts will be held in the auditorium next Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock "We hope to see a large number of the students at the try-out, so we can make this venture a financial success," was the statement released by the freshman committee in charge. Victor H. Hoppe, drama instructor, and Nils Boson of the music department, will assist the freshmen in the presentation of the show. This Minstrel show will contain a rather unusual feature, in that girls will be used as well as boys. This was not the common custom in the original minstrel but there were, however, some famous women minstrels. WEA Dinner Ends Meet . • Climaxing the- annual meeting of the Washington Education Association's institute, a dinner is being held this evening in the Bellingham hotel sponsored by. the Bellingham administration unit of the WEA. Randy Oberlatz, head of the local group, will preside at the dinner meeting, introducing Frank Davison who will be the speaker of the evening. Mr. Davison's subject is entitled "Fun From Poetry, Believe It Or Not." The assembled group, of public school teachers attend the institute purely on a voluntary basis this year, and are representing teaching groups from San Juan, Skagit, and Whatcom counties. In former years the institute usually had two or three days for meetings, but due to present conditions, the institute has now been condensed to an afternoon and evening. it Dateline Tuesday, October 19— First Civic.

Larrabee had attended Dartmouth College previous to his enlistment. He^will return to active service after the newlyweds' brief honeymoon, while Mrs. Larrabee will remain in New York for the present, and possibly receive her USO assignment later. Alkasiah Puts On Scavenger Hunt • ABcisiah started off with a "dash" last Monday night with a hilarious scavenger hunt. Three groups of girls, mostly new members, made a flying trip to town where they collected signatures of radio announcers, Herald reporters, and handsome servicemen. Some went armed with twelve-inch rulers and had a gay time measuring Colonel Moseley's popcorn stand and the ticket booth of the Avalon theatre. There was less than an hour to accomplish all of these missions, but, at 8:20 when the girls came panting back after a mad race up the hill, everyone had all that they had been sent after. Refreshments were served after the hunt by the older members. Plans were discussed for the arrangements of bringing the first giiest speaker to Bellingham. Lounge Now Ojpen Five Hours Daily ;.. • With the help of the Valkyrie club, the Student lounge is now open five hours daily, according to •Jean Borchardt, manager. The hours that it may be used by students are 11 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. each day. The greater number of open hours for the lounge was made possible by the vote of the Valkyrie club to have one of its members in charge when the manager was not there.. The Valks were assigned - hours at their meeting last Tuesday- ,\ A list of rules to be observed in Utie lounge is to be posted, and students are expected to abide by them. The manager or Valkyrie in charge is to see that the rules are not abused and that the room and its furnishings are kept in good condition; :-'..'^'•'''-• ;'"•'. Stimpson Approves Opening of Pool • Dr. E. W. Stimpson at last gave the go ahead signal for the WWC swimming pool to be opened. Last Wednesday the pool was used by students for the first time this year. A test was taken of the water over the last week-end and it was found to be free from any infantile paralysis germs. The pool opening added another sport to the Physical Education curriculums besides providing the added opportunity for swimming at Thursday night's mixed rec. The pool, built in 1938, is 75 feet long, 30 feet wide, and sloping from four feet in depth at the shallow end to nine and one half feet at the deep end. The spring board at the deep end cost one hundred dollars and was made by Jantzen. ' In-Service Plan New Training • A new type of In-service train-, ing program for war-emergency teacher training is being set up throughout the state under the direction of Mrs. Pearl A. Wanamak-er, state superintendent of schools, in which tre college will take an active part, it was learned from Dr. Paul R. Grim, director of Campus schools. "Our college, together with the five state teacher's colleges, is cooperating with the state department of education to provide training for war emergency teachers by sending out college instructors to spend two quarters working with these teachers in the field of actual teaching," Dr. Grim explained. Certain counties within the state are chosen by the state department as areas for each instittuion to work after the schools have applied to the department for assignment. Dr. Grim mentioned that for the present fall quarter, WWC has been assigned the area around Seattle in King county and probably will have instruction centers in Oak Lake, Kirkland, Foster and Auburn. Miss Emma Erickson, research director, and Miss Vivian Johnson, student teaching supervisor, will direct the training beginning October 18 through the following six weeks. Other Campus school and college instructors probably will go downr to one or more centers to give instruction on specific subjects and problems. The college group expects to move into another county and there arrange for similar work at the completion of this six weeks training period, Dr. Grim concluded. Patricia Moore Joins Waves • Pat Moore, who was enrolled at the beginning of the fall quarter to start her sophomore year, has enlisted in the Waves and will leave for basic training at Hunter college, New York, on October 31. The was sworn into the service at Seattle last Tuesday after passing aptitude tests and medical examinations. Miss Moore is a graduate of Bellingham high school where she served in the capacity of Pep club president and was active in sports and Girls', league. AWS Has Bazaar • An all school bazaar in the student lounge on November 5, will take the place this year of the annual dance sponsored by the AWS, according to Virginia Sorgenfrei, chairman of the affair. Members of the committee working with Miss Sorgenfrei are: Peggy Paine, freshman, Lucille Bovee, freshman, Lorna Jean Booras, freshman. Harriet Clow, sophomore, and Doris Tedford, sophomore. The decision to back the bazaar rather than the usual dance was reached by the AWS commission at their last meeting and Miss Sorgenfrei was appointed head at that time. The money made at the venture is to be used in AWS war activites, especially in the fund for sending the WWCollegian to former students now in the service. Camp Candies Lt John Schuberg is a navigator in the Army air forces and is completing the final stages of his overseas training at the army air base, Great Falls, Montana.

Raggedy Ann, other prettily dressed dolls, and even one iittle sailor doll were, at their tables and by their chairs, and personal photographs adorned their place-cards. As a special treat, the upper classmen let them straddle their chairs, tuck their napkins under their Chin, pierce their apples, roll their jello, and eat their entire meal with a knife. These upper classmen "teachers" report that the children had a delightfully different time, and the children say their teachers looked amused, too.

Chuckanut Slopes Scene of Tramp • "And a grand time was had by all," was the expression of many of the WRA girls after their hike last Saturday up the steep slopes and to the top of Chuckanut mountain. A group of fifteen members, the majority of whom were from Edens hall, left the school at 10 a. m. in spite of a foggy morning. It was a hungry and happy group who ate their well-earned lunch at the top of Chuckanut. The return trip was made in the early afternoon. BARBER SHOP NATIONAL BEAUTY SHOP 1306 Cornwall Av.

Yes, this is a very good idea, We think, because it not only builds up a pride in the students for our wonderful pool, but makes towards good entertainment. Each and every year the school has one swim meet in the spring and this has always gone over big, and that is why everyone wonders why not have one in the fall? Yes, we should have some sort of thing such as this to fill the hole left open by the dropping of varsity athletics. You and all of us should look into this Utile matter.

The Reds' smooth working outfit roUed over the Kids 15-8 and 15-3, for the worst beating administered in voUeyball this season. This victory left the Pups in possession of first place, with the Chocolates in second spot, and the Inners in the last niche. • ''' Tuesday's contests seemed So be following the pattern in the previous encounter, when in the first game the Moldrem men decisively dumped Hospice. However, the fighting spirit and chatter so outstanding on the Inn squad, paid dividends in the last two tiffs as Hospice squeezed by their taller rivals. The victory put the Hospice men back in contention for the lead. Harold Moe and Walt Baker, new additions to the Inn team, gave the deciding punch and added team worked to the squad. Moe, tall man, and exceptionally good at the net, made a good many of the Inners' kills, with Baker to set them up. Playing Monday afternoon, the Red Pups and Hospice Inn wiU battle to see if the Pups stay undefeated in volleyball, or if Hospice will move closer to the top spot. Next week contest sought to either clarify the league picture for good, or put all the teams in a tie for first place: P OT SHOTS Walt Baker, former WWC trackman and Portland University cinder churner now back on* the campus -working for his degree, is one of the standouts in athletics this fall.

Western coUege's famed Norsemen's club will be the sponsor of an aU coUege semi-formal dance, which will take place on the evening of the 29th in the student lounge. . Important decisions were reached at a recent meeting of the Norsemen executive councU regarding. the gala affair. It was decided that outsiders will be admitted, but one of the couple must be a coUege student. The girls are permitted and encouraged to invite their outside freinds. This decision also applies to men students. Formats and dark suits will be the dress of the evening. Doc Chase and his orchestra will furnish the music. Tickets will be on sale soon and, the price is $1.25. Refreshments will be plentiful and a Hallowe'en atmosphere wUl prevaU. Under the supervision of President Stuart Moldrem, committees composed of the following men were formed to insure the success of the dance: publicity, Cale CampbeU; music, Walt Baker; tickets and program, Larry Muriizzi and Jim Oil-; day; decorations, Chuck Pomeroy; refreshments, Lloyd Jones. The Norsemen are rolling again. Last week a meeting of all 38 of the men students enroUed in school was called by the Norsemen adviser, Fred W. Knapman of the Science department, to organize the club for the coming year. Alda Hesby, another Everett student and sophomore, is a very active little doll in student affairs and a million personality in her own rights. Alda also has close relation, with the Hospice Inn teams. Two of- the most outstanding women athletes in the school are VinceUa Zankich and Georgia Driver. Both these girls show a wide range of versatility in all branches of athletics. Both are sophomores and active in WRA.

RUTH BURNER ' Publications Adviser oditoiiah THE OCTOBER "IF" The big " i f for the month has been the apple picking situation. When and if we are called upon and the college is closed down, it would be interesting to see where each student would be, what we would be doing, and how he would be doing it. There are students, few and far between, thank heaven, who would think a vacation had been declared. - They would go home to have one big time eating continually and sleeping in late for a week. • THIS AIN'T US There's the student who would hear vaguely during the moment that he wasn't talking to his neighbor, at the one assembly he did attend, that there was to be a big trip to Wenatchee. You only had to pick fifteen boxes of applse a day and your room and board, were paid for. Think what fun he could have raising whoopee while the suckers we're picking more than they had to. And about that transportation—free- if he stayed all week—who wouldn't stay? After all, it wasn't half bad over there East of the mountains! HERE WE ARE Then there's the student who'd wanted to do war work all summer but he'd been tied down going to summer school or had a non-defense job during the vacation season. He would be all for aiding his country in any way possible. He'd be trying to get that apple crop harvested before the bad weather set in. He'd be trying to top the daily record of the fastest pickers, and to set a good record for WWC itself. ;'• When and if we go apple picking, let's show Wenatchee what kind of apple pickers the Vikings are. TAKE A BOW, FROSH! Hats off to the frosh instigators of the Minstrel show. They not only got the idea for this Student lounge benefit and talked - it- up but, moreover, they went right on talking until they received the go-ahead signal from the Board of Control and Mr. Hoppe. Frosh Glass Zurina Talented Dancer; Art Calls Squares • Freckle faced, pug nosed Pat Gardiner, believe it or not is a ballet dancer, the Zorina of the freshman class. Pat started taking lessons about 12 years ago. The best training she received was from the Cornish school two years ago. The biggest thrill of her life was acting as a "super" girl with the Russian ballet when it was in town last year. "It's hard on the feet but good on the figure, but don't take me for an example, whatever you do," was her only comment- on her unusual hobby. • One of the most unusual hobbies that's ever popped up around school is that of Art Mickle, who calls square dances. He says he began learning the art in Georgia about two and a half years ago when he worked as a recreational director. Then he was appointed WPA supervisor in Savannah and as part of that required course he learned several other calls. Later he traveled throughout South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, calling square dances profes-sionally. Cute Cat Cuddles; Femmes Flustered • A low murmur of conversation continued among the students even after Dr. Lucy Kangley called her English 40 class to order. Comments such as "Oh, may I touch him?" or "Isn't he darling?' were directed by the class towards a shy unexpected visitor. As Dr. Kangley noticed the cause of the interruption, she gave the little visitor a rather questioning smile of approval. The guest then proceeded to make himself comfortable, and seemingly unimpressed with the class work, he laid his- head down and slept throughout the remaining class period. As the bell rang for the close of the English class, the unexpected guest calmly jumped down from the lap of a feminine admirer and turning around on all four furry little paws, whisked his fluffy gray tail into the air. "Vicious," the little gray kitten, departed. New Pastels m Casual Date DRESSES 10.95 to 14.95 IN THS Budget Shop AT W A H L' S • Hi, readers! (optimistic, ain't I?)

Hey, you..I see you standing there drooling at Kathy Ashe's necklace that looks like chocolate-covered peanuts but isnt—naturally. Kinda cute, isn't it?

Just North of Postoffice 'Plan Reading' Says Calhoun • Reverend W. Carl Calhoun, minister of the First Congregational church gave an awakening message to WWC students at Tuesday's assembly. A familar figure to he campus, Reverend Calhoun spoke on the subject, "The College Student and His Reading." With a fine grasp of his subject he told of his own experiences with college and non-college graduates. He told of some acquaintances of his and said that he often "couldn't tell the difefrenoe between those who had received a college education and those who have not." As he continued further into his subject, he stated that he believed that more emphasis should be placed upon good reading while the man or woman is still in,college. Great readjustments must be made everywhere when the men come back from war because they will have encountered great areas of experience in their absence. Reverend Calhoun suggested several books, both fiction and non-fiction which will aid the people to make their necessary adjustments. He also gave- three rules for the choice of reading material and in closing, advised everyone to take advantage of the great reading opportunities that are open to them during their college career. Rumor Rouses Riot; Maybe More Men! • Could it be possible? Do dreams really come true? Well, we girls can believe in miracles anyway. It all began last Monday when the beautiful rumor was being circulated to the effect that a new navy V-12 unit was being enrolled into classes here at school. Many were the tongues which carried the glad tidings from room to room this week, causing a mischievous smile on the lips of eager listeners. The news remains in the rumor stage at present, but the 'dorm' girls tell of dreams of navy blue mingling with the velvet green of our campus walks. Further developments are being eagerly awaited by all! Surgical Athletic Supplies DRUGS STATIONERY STAR ir Drug Co.

Hoppe, Drama department, and Dr. M. P. Cederstrom, English instructor, as judges, try-outs for parts in the minstrel show were held last Tuesday in the auditorium. Wednesday afternoon the judges, the script writers, and the committee in charge met to decide on parts, and to discuss other important details. It was decided to change the date of the performance from November 12 to November 30. "As we have not definitely decided on the complete cast we would rather not release the names of any of the cast," was the statement released by the committee in charge. The committee also decided on the main portions of the show. The first act will be a regular old time minstrel show with dances, songs, and many jokes. The second half of the show will consist of a few scenes from that famous old tear-jerker "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The second act will also contain many vaudeville acts. The third act will feature the songs of Stephen Foster, and the more famous of Foster's songs will be illustrated with living pictures. The script writers are at work preparing the script for the first rehearsal which will be held next Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, on the stage. Weekend Plans In Full Swing • Committees for Home Front Week-end to be held November 18, 19 and 20, have been appointed by the co-chairmen, Jeannette Bright and Walt Baker.

Virginia Sorgenfrei and Ruthe Kosche are in charge of the banquet. Plans for the banquet are tenta^ tive as no details for any of the schedules have been worked out in detail. All clubs and houses will present a skit in the Home Front week-end assembly. * Puzzled Freshmen Visit Haggard •Following up numerous questions as to the present restrictions on the use of room 112, the Men's lounge, several freshman boys approached Dr. W. W. Haggard during the past week on the subject of its opening. Dr. Haggard informed them that unless there is a definite need for use of the room not covered by the student lounge, the room will not be opened. However, if it is felt that if the necessity arises for the men to have a room of their own, the lounge may be again put into use. In past years the lounge, furnished with leather upholstered chairs and a davenport, has been a popular gathering place for the male students of WWC. Classes Meet This Morning to Elect • Student class meetings were held this morning during the assembly hour. Each class decided upon two delegates to represent them at Tuesday's nominating convention. At the sophomore and junior and senior meeting, class officers were elected but at the time the WWCollegian went to press, the frames were not available. They will be published in next week's edition. Six New Valkyries Hear Magic Word • "You're in the Valks!"—These magic words were spoken to six new members of the Valkyrie club elected last Tuesday night at the regular meeting. The new electees are: Marilyn Turner, Margaret Richards, Doris Tedford, Rachel Blekkink, Mary Louise Burke, and Virginia Sorgenfrei. Students are urged to put the addresses of servicemen in the boxes that have been placed around the building. The sending of Christmas cards to former students who are now in the service will be a big project and will require the cooperation of the entire .student body to acquire the addresses. Plans are well under way now for the pop corn ball sale which will be held November 1. Betty Brunswig is making arrangements and plans for the sale, with other club members. Bond Heads Drive DR. E. A. BOND Dr. E. A. Bond of the mathematics department, again has been selected to conduct the solicitation of the faculty and other WWC employees for the Befling-ham Community and War Chest campaign. Dr. Bond will be assisted by Miss Georgia P. Gragg, commercial instructor. Dr. W. W. Haggard will act as chairman of the speaker's committee for the drive. The college faculty and other employees have topped their quota for the past several years. Faculty Represents WWC, at Tacoma • Dr. E. A. Bond and Victor H. Hoppe left yesterday for Tacoma to attend the regional meeting of the Washington Educational Association, Thursday and Friday. Mr. Hoppe and Dr. Bond will speak on the various student activities at Western Washington College, including Home Front week-end and the student lounge. Dr. Bond holds hope that some of the delegates from Eastern Washington will accept his invitation to visit WWC in spite of transportation difficulties.

The dance, sponsored by' the Norsemen, is the first semi-formal of •the college year. Most of the men furnishing the music also are members of Clint Nunamaker's orchestra. Kunz Possesses Rare Ability • The rare ability of holding an audience's undivided attention was shown by Fritz Kunz, outstanding authority on India and the Southwestern Pacific, in the student as-, sembly Tuesday, October 19. Although Mr. Kunz was bom in America he has acquired many foreign mannerisms because of his long residence in India and class association with the Nationalist leaders who are now at the helm in her affairs. In typical English accent, the lecturer told the circumstances surrounding his acceptance as principal of Ananda college in Ceylon, which is a British colony southeast of the India mainland. "The Buddhist institution was in danger of being dispossessed if a Western head could not be found to take charge. I occupied this position for four years," he explained to the group. Continuing his lecture, he told of Indian life and culture. Contrary to common belief, the Indians are a very" civilized people and were the inventors of the zero and higher Algebra, Mr. Kunz said. It is his belief that uninformed people are too apt to measure another country's culture by their own. "Civilization is merely machinery," he stated. , • .. While Mr. Kunz, a man of medium build, was residing in the Southwestern Pacific, he adopted the dress and habits of the natives in order to studjs-them better. He described their clothing as practical and beautiful. Mr. Kunz knows and understands many of the famous personages who now are guiding their country in today's crisis. He told illuminating and interesting stories of' their struggles, idealism, and realistic (ContbMeffon Page Two) Nine Men Want To Be Tested • ,To date, nine WWC men have indicated their desire to take the Army A-12 and Navy V-12 examinations November 9, according to Dr. Arthur C. Hicks, registrar. Bel-ingham high school will send those from the high school who wish to participate in the test. The three subjects featured in this test are: English vocabulary, physics, and mathematics. Room 312 will serve as the testing room with Miss Emma Erickson, Mrs. Paul Woodring, and Mrs. Vida Grennley in charge of giving the examinations. At 9:05 the morning of November 9, the doors will be closed for two hours, at the end of which time the exams will be terminated. These Army and Navy specialized training exams are offered twice a. year, in the spring and in the fall. Special Art Request Assures Exhibit • A special request made by the Art department has assured them of receiving examples of the work of Arthur W. Hall and Norma Bassett Hall for their art exhibit during National Art week., Mrs. Hall specializes in beautiful block-prints, which she does in color, while Mr. Hall excels in etchings and aquatints... One of Mr. Hall's aquatints entitled "Night in the Apache Desert," was selected last year to be included in the group of 100 outstanding pictures sent from New York for the annual exhibit. Art week, which is celebrated nationally, is usually held the second week in November, and while the date is as yet tentative, the art instructors here have assurance that their widely-publicized exhibit will be on display in the Art department again this year during that week. Norse and Guests To Haunt Lounge • Gruesome goblins and fluffy white ghosts have made their appointments with the mighty Norsemen to attend the event of the-season, October 29, when the first formal dance of the year is to be held in the student lounge under the sponsorship of the ..Norsemen group. Various club committees have been active during Che week completing plans along a 'Hallowe'en theme for the affair. Ernie Lud-wig and Lawrence Munizza are co-chairmen on the ticket committee. Handling the publicity for the dance are Cale Campbell, Kjell Dahl, Warren Lambert and Gerald Pells. Chuck Pomeroy, Bob DePastel, Tom Hillier and Murray Goff are in charge of decorating the lounge. Walt Baker, music committee chairman, announces that ;Doc Chase and his orchestra will play..; Tickets now are available at the table located in the main hall. The price of admission to the dance being $1.25. Stuart Moldrem, president of the Norsemen club, is supervising the social affair. Special Group f- To Nominate • Representatives to the Intercub Council will be selected Tuesday in room 108 at the nominating convention. Each club in the council must have two representatives at the convention. Three officers are to be filled. They are: four-quarter man or woman, four-quarter man, and one-quarter woman. A petition to reinstate the Norseman club was presented and it was accepted by the Council. Jeanette Bright, the Council president, gave out a list of the mailboxes for the various clubs. 'Brief Music7 Cast Working Steadily • "Help!"— and I stood there paralyzed—"She's taken poison!" "Now try it again, without your script," and as Mr. Victor H. Hoppe's voice emanated from a nearby room my paralysis left me. What a relief! It was only the "Brief Music" cast practicing the sentimental college girl comedy to be given Penthouse style on November 18 and 19, Home Front week-end. • The play is one of mood and atmosphere, and the cast is well aware that the success of the play will depend on the interpretation of /the characters' lines and personalities. jf Dateline Tuesday, October 26— Nominating convention, room1108, at 4 p. m.

After a stormy, tossing ride on the mailboat "Osage," even the four experienced sailors who kept their health, felt as if they swam instead of sailed. Virginia Sorgenfrei, Pat Mapes,, Doris Bishop, and Rachel Blekkink, the four heroines of the day, reported that they had a wonderfully wet time. Orchesis Club members are beginning to wonder if the students at WWC like to dance, for their regular Wednesday night dances have been sparsely populated. "If you can't dance we'll teach you," stated one of the members. So, with an opportunity to learn square and modern dancing right at hand, it's murder for anyone who complains they cant dance. Blue Barnacles are organizing and having tryouts for new members this week and next. The veteran swimmers of this club emphasized the fact that girls do not have to have an Olympic style to make the grade, and they want to see a lot of water lovers at next Monday's tryouts. more assembly (Continued from Page One) conventions. "India is crying for freedom," were the dramatic words of Mr. Kunz. He went on to say that the British have by strategy and power taken.over the whole of India— a defenseless race. Today, with India on the brink of obtaining her independence after centuries of rule by other nationalities, the noted lecturer said that it is one of the greatest forces in the world and certainly the greatest in Asia. He continued to say that a free India can be expected to use her immense resources of men, women, and ideas in this strategic moment of history. Although the educator does not approve of Gandhi's policies, he feels that self-government is due ancient India. "When the Indians gain their freedom they will come to us with the gift of philosophy," he said. They use their knowledge to determine the nature of man and they believe that if a thing is to be immortal, it cannot have parts, because a complex thing will come apart in time interpreted Mr. Kunz. Mr. Kunz is one of the few Americans who has found his way into the heart of this amazing and romantic scene as a friend and is thereby able to report what to expect from this enigmatic land now that the hour of freedom is" at hand. At the present time the speaker is working on a new book on Indian philisophy and editing the monthly magazine, Main Currents in Modern Thought. He studies geometry in leisure liime. -. He concluded his lecture with a timely quotation from an Indian scripture—"Oh ye peoples' of the world, walk together, talk together and think together. Then and only then, will peace ensue." Al Munkres, Past Viking, Marries • Announcement of the engagement of lit. Alfred Roy Munkres, U. S. Army Engineers, and Nora Virginia Ford, of Lynohberg, Va., was made recently. A full military wedding will be held the latter part of November. lit. Munkres, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry COleman Munkres, of this city, was a former WWC football star. He is stationed in Fort Belvoir, Va., where he attended officers' training school and received his commission. McLebd Visits Old Haunts • "Those were the good old days," smiled Lt. Stewart McLeod, as he fingered through ah old April Fool edition of the WWCollegian. "Stu," as he was better known in Bellingham, with his blue eyes snapping as he skimmed over the pages of the old paper, chuckled, "Man, what fights we used to have to see whether my crazy adds or Bill Ridder's sappy stories would go on the pages." Lt. McLeod, former business manager of the WWCollegian and now a gunnery officer on a destroyer, in his escort duty across the Atlantic has had his gun crew credited for sinking one submarine and possibly downing another. He has seen action in the Pacific, Atlantic, Mediterranean, and almost every other sea or ocean that can be named. Stu also has been in Australia, India, Persia, Africa, South America, Iceland, and Greenland in the three years since he left WWC. "All my bad luck, as far as ships are concerned, took place in the Carribean sea where two were sunk under me," explained Stu in his quiet tone. "I spent eight day in a life raft after one of these sinkings and it's really an experience. "The biggest fight I've been in, however," he added reminiscently, "was the landing on Sicily and the terrific battle that ensued for a bridgehead on that island." • "I was wounded during that struggle," remarked Stu, "and have been in a convalescent hospital in Asheville, North Carolina, the last few months. I'm home on leave from the hospital, now, but will return to active duty soon." Lt. McLeod was prominent at WWC from 1937 to 1940, and in his modest, low-voiced way, commented that he had organized the original Co-op board, and was its' first chairman. He was a member of hie Board of Control at that time besides being active on the WWCollegian staff. Search at Edens; Motto Adopted Center of activity at Edens this week is a hunt to see if anyone has a date with a Norseman, but this is war.

Camp Gandios Visiting WWG this week was ex- Viking football captain, Jim Hol-lingsworth, who has been doing all right for himself in the air corps as pilot of a P-38 based somewhere in North Africa. Hollingsworth, a former all conference guard from the Viking football squad, has shot down three Nazi planes to date. He hails from Montesano, Wash. Howard "Red" Wright, former WWC student, also from Montesano, is taking a 13 week course at a desert training camp in southern California preparatory to going overseas. Corporal Don Brown is now stationed at Chinook Field, Illinois, as a link trainer. He attended WWC until leaving for the army last spring and was a popular athlete. Frank Shires, seaman second class, is now serving in the aerology department with the Navy overseas. He is a local man and a former WWC student body prexy. Jack Driver, seaman second class, is now stationed at USNAS Moffett Field, California. Driver, a well-known figure at WWC last year, is head of a rigger shop there. Also visiting his Alma Mater this week was- fire controlman second class, Johnnie Bond. Bond, a former Viking basketball ace, who comes from Seattle, Wash., and played for the Viks in 1940 and 1941. He has been stationed in the Pacific. • Lt. Lyle A. Pettyjohn, formerly WWC athelete, has recently been promoted to the rank of first lieutenant. According to a letter received in the business office, he is flying in a Marine fighter-bomber squadron. He is stationed at Cherry Point, N. C.

Thus Mischa Eflmah, renowned violinist, opened his concert program last Tuesday night under the auspices of the Civic Music Association. Moving on the music became intricate with figured bass accompaniments that were designed on a four-move-, ment plan of alternating slow and quick movements. Handel's ever present search for rhythm found its culmination in the finale of this work. Another sonata followed and had as its composer the combined ro- ' mantic and classicist, Brahms. A mood of pathos and melancholy was cast in this minor construction. Yet the music was refreshing—an in-dictation of Brahms taste in allow- Collegian Subscribes • Following the custom of past years, the WWCollegian is subscribing to several of the best commercial newspapers.

The artist could have used a greater resonance to display the composer's talent for subduing a turbulent passion. A feeling of completeness was brought forth by the excellent give and take of music between the composer and the accompanist. Modern music in the form of a concerto by Glazounow, greatest of all modernists in the Russian school today, was next played by Elman with a full tone that had all the power and force of a rushing waterfall. It continued smoothly and with a slowly winding .lyricism to a climax of whirlpool merry-making. The violin throughout takes hold of a lyric thread except in the Andante and the Finale where it interchanged with the accompaniment exhibiting great technical passage-work. An Irish air and a Hebrew melody came next. Unusual tone on the Hebrew melody was attained and with the audience following intensely, it seemed- apart from all technicalities. This magnificent music was as unpretentious as it was exciting. The last number on the program was a definite feat of technical skill and could have been_ none other considering the composer was Paginini, the greatest virtuoso of his time. Elman's every tone throughout the concert was backed by a maturity and spirit that was free and yet controlled. He did however make elaborations that at times seemed unwarranted. But his sure deftness, timing and precision set forth his music with an aesthetic quality that made it a timeless reality. BARBER SHOP NATIONAL BEAUTY SHOP 1306 Cornwall Av.

Sam Carver thinks that if we can get all those men who are in school interested in participating, the league should go over with the same enthusiasm as in previous years. This year's league will be run on a different Itasis because of the small variety of talent... The besfperformers in school ^rill be picked by Sam to captain the different teams and by doing this it will make the different clubs more balanced. Men Bowlers Dump Pins • Led by Bennerstrom's club, the bowling league got off to a successful start a week ago last Thursday, with the Benner boys taking two games from Hospice, as the PE team squashed the Faculty twice. In last Thursday's battle, the Hospice squad, decided underdogs in their series with the PE/team, broke even in closely contested matches. The Inn took the first line by six pins, however, their stretch drive in the second game fell short one pin of a complete upset, and the Gym men eeked out a win. Far in front of the field, Ben-nerstroms again swamped the opposition by taking two lines from the Faculty. Led by Wark, who is the league's top bowler, and Witt, the Benners were too much for the teachers' group despite the fine bowling of Bushell and Oederstrom. Don Eldridge and- Harold Moe were the big guns for the Hospice bunch in the second match, while Ludwick and Burklund kept the PE team in the game. The teams and standings for the two sessions are as follows: PE 1st 2d Faculty 1st 2nd Ludwick .. .229-290 Bushell ...248-243 Carver .... 254-217 Rice ..'.

They already have played three basketball games and have won them all. Most of their competition has been service teams of high caliber. You fans will remember the fast little Savages who played here last year and also went on to win honors in the itnercollegiate tournament in Kansas City. It seems that our friends from across the hills always com* up with some giant killer teams. BELLINGHAM FOR STATE CHAMPS The Bellingham High School's winning Raiders have won themselves some real spurs this year and there is little argument on whether they deserve it or not. By trimming the Stadium Tigers last Wednesday in Tacoma, they undoubtedly are in line for the state championship berth. Their only barrier was lifted last.week when the Wenatchee club refused to play the Jackson Raiders in a deciding game. • ' FRANKO IS DOING ALL RIGHT Out Ferndale way, a former student and assistant coach here at WWC, is carving a deep cut into the gridiron turf with his fast improving Ferndale Eagles. Roy Franko was one of Lapp's left arms the last few years and has real possibilities in the coaching racket. • ' FOSTER HAS DIVING FORM Big Paul Foster has been proving in the pool of our Athletic pavilion lately that he really can handle his weight out on the end of a diving board. Foster is a former state high school champion and a couple of years back had several offers from big schools and clubs but was unable to take any of them because of having a special appointment with Uncle Sam. Paul has a very fine group of twenty-one separate dives that he performs near to perfection.

According to Warren, he'd rather play basketball than eat. Is he, kid-din*? EMS BOWDEN, in her second year at WWC, has made a reputation as an all around athlete; She shines in swimming, badminton and tennis. You'll find her in almost every WRA hike. She also is a local gal. BOB LENNING, another first year man, is a horse enthusiast, and has been waiting for a nice clear day to break out in his riding regalia. Bob is a product of Port Angeles and he's been working in California the last three years. MYRTLE LUEKEN has as a vocation, like many of the gals nowadays, being a service station at-tendeht. She has an avocation, however, to which she devoted much time before Mt. Baker was closed to skiers. Myrtle, who also has some shakes as a tennis player, is a resident of Bellingham. FRED MARTINSEN, a Blaine representative, is interested in football, and participates in all intramural sports. Mort, as he is better known, has shown a will to learn and a great deal of drive. ALICE MARIE ANDERSON, a Mukilteo product, has been outstanding as one of the best soft-ball twirlers in college. Alice, who takes part in all the girl sports, is also a sophomore. \ LLOYD JONES came up from Woodland this year with a rep as a basketball player. Lloyd, who is a freshman, would rather pound a typewriter, and is taking a B.A. course. RACHEL BLEKKINK, an all around sports fan, is active in the girls intramural program.

Jim came to Western Washington in 38 from Montesano. where he-was also a leader in athletics. He won a 11-conference honors two years in a row at school here. "Basketball competition will., start just as soon as enough fellows are lined up to play, and teams can be formed." stated Sam Carver, head of intramural sports. A notice is now on the bulletin board in the men's locker room on which each fellow interested in participating may sign up. Enough men to form four teams must be willing to take part before the league will begin. If the progam is to be successful* every man must cooperate and sign the slip to turnout for basketball. "A plan for choosing teams has been worked out making it impossible for any'one team to have too much power," explained Carver. ' lt;Men who.. have had previous basketball experience will be picked as captains, and they will choose the rest of the players." Remember to sign the sheet on the bulletin board in the office if you want to play intramural basketball. Volleyball Puppies Still Red Hot • Holding the intramural volleyball lead in fine''style, the Red Pups now have two wins and no losses. Second and coming strong are the highly touted Hospice Inn-ers with a double victory and a single defeat. The Kids, coached and led by "Sugar" Moldrem, occupy the. well known cellar by losing two and winning one. The Pups, composed almost entirely of upper classmen, show superior head work and.team play..on the court. The ball Is rarely returned by the first Pup player it comes to, but always is "set up" for either Ernie Ludwig or Larry Munizza to put away. Paul Poster, Herb WItt gt; and Chuck Pomeroy make up the rest of the combination favored to win the volleyball championship. MRS. LOVEGREN RECOVERS Mrs. May Lovegren, Extension department, who is on leave this quarter because of a foot operation, is reported to be making good recovery in a Seattle hospital.

RUTH BURNER .Publications Adviser As many of the new students seem to be wondering what Campi means, I will do my best to explain. Cain-pi is the Latin plural for campus, and the idea of this column is to bring to the students of WWC highlights from the other college papers. One of the students of the U of Washington seems to be having a bit of trouble with the Marine corps. The University of Washington Daily states that this fellow is 6-foot-4 and is not by any means thin, so he is causing the Marine Corps no end of trouble trying to get a uniform that will fit him. Here at good old WWC we have a tall fellow, Bob de Pastel, who is six-foot-four but I don't think he could measure up to the Seattle Marine who has a 45-inch chest. The University of British Columbia had a stroke of luck recently when the Department of Lands gave the college 6000 acres of land for Forestry department. This vast wooded expanse is to be called the University forest. %e .Stfat ts OH gUam! IT'S A TOUGH YEAR We all realize that college is.certain to be different this year but it can still be full of life and ideas. We of the WWCollegian staff are thankful to those few persons who are active and giving us something to write about. We will admit that when there isn't much of general interest happening, the staff goes out and stirs up something so that it-will happen so there will be something-to write about. THANKS TO YOU PEPPERPOTS We salute you up-and-coming freshman students who are promoting, a minstrel show to benefit the student lounge and we salute you few Norsemen who, despite the odds this year, are sponsoring a dance this next Friday. You people deserve every possible support and assistance the rest of the student body can give you. You can count on the WWCollegian to give you all the publicity you wish. What gets us. are these people who are crabbng that the college is dull and lacks spirit. We want to know what they are trying to do to improve it. As we look at it, fifty per cent of the college is slaving away trying to promote activities and the other fifty percent instead of cooperating, is crabbing because there isn't enough activties. 1 LET US HAVE IT Another thing on our mind this week is that we've been hearing in a roundabout way that there are some things you studlsnts don't like about our publication. Whose paper-do you think it is anyway? Yours, of course! We want to make it the way you want it. But how can the staff improve or change their policies or style if you don't tell us directly that you don't care for the paper. Come and tell us you don't, openly, and furthermore, why you don't. We are anxious to know and we certainly won't resent constructive criticisms. Tell us what is, wrong and if you have any ideas to remedy this, give us the benefit of those, too. All we know is the fact that when our paper is a little later than usual, we hear about it. Also, we are aware of the fact that when it comes off the press, it goes fast. But maybe you are merely picking up something you paid for. We'll be expecting direct comments and mail this next week. LET YOURSELF GO \ Hpw about a column to print letters in which you can "let off steam" on the subject of the WWCollegian or anything around the campus that is bothering you? You write and-sign the letters, and we'll publish them if they are printable, with or without your own signature ap-. •pearing. Let's see our WWCollegian box in the President's office filled up this next week with letters from students and faculty "letting off steam." ' "^ Frosh Solves Noise Problem • The original freshman has devised a method of killing two birds with one stone, as the expression goes. This smiling student was observed advancing toward the circulation desk of the WWC library one afternoon last week with a cur-lous looking object carefully placed under his arm. It was not a book, as would be generally assumed, but upon closer scrutiny it proved to be a pair of the still popular noise makers, wooden, shoes.. All eyes naturally moved downward to discover that only a pair of pale blue anklets protected her feet. Thus, she solved the noise problem which always arises when shoes and libraries are mixed, and she also was saving the valuable shoe leather. .However, the question now appears —is it worth the wear and tear it produces on stockings and especially on the feejt? Smith's Pink Turtle Co-op Attraction • Totally unconcerned, although he was the center of attraction, little Mr. Leatherneck strolled casually along the top of the counter in the Co-op Monday morning. A pale pastel pink color, Leatherneck is an eye-catcher among any group of students. The little turtle hails from Los Angeles arid the proud owner is Cheryl Smith. Leatherneck, as he is called because of the title printed so colorfully across his back, journeys daily between the dorm and the Co-op. It looks as though Cheryl will have to guard him with care, because many an admiring'glance has been sent his way—object—ownership! Annual What-A-Sho Theme 'Backstage' • Bellingham High School has announced its annual all school event, the What-a-Show, which will be presented November 5, under the direction of Miss Margaret Gray. The theme this year is "Backstage." The performance is in two parts. The first parfr is made up of try-outs, stage setting, auditions, and rehearsals. The second part is the queen's coronation, with the final dress rehearsal of a variety show performed before the ruler. Students desiring to attend the What-a-Show will be able to secure tickets at WWC, the date and price to be announced later.

A gruesome sort of thing! Some have-heads, some don't. The ones that, don't, work hard and they soon get ahead. Most zombies keep their hair in place with egg. Choice of the white or yolk depends on the color of the hair. Some use both because they like that "oozie" feeling of the egg trickling down the forehead. If the egg doesnt do the trick, a tablespoon of flour is often added.. To get the "cologne" effect, rotten eggs are preferred. Zombies have very red faces. Look almost as if paint or lipstick, were laboriously smeared in the most horrible way! And even the best dressed zombie looks like a tramp. Whole, clean, neat clothing is simply taboo. If one has something halfway, decent looking, one! simply takes scissors and whacks out hunks here and there. -The stronger zombies (muscle men) do not use scissors, or knives, they; simply flex the biceps and rip with bare hands. This, of course, thrills all the girl zombies to pieces. (This accounts for there being so"many more girls than boys.) • The diet of a zombie usually willV^ consist of slugs, snails, worms, net- vf \ ties for vegetables "(have to watch, those vitamins) and for dessert—one clove of garlic.

Marie Eines, and Cheryl Smith, junior senior queen candidates; Pat Scott, sophomore princess, and Barbara Gillies, frosh princess. _''"- '' - The identity of Queen Sigrid VI will be determined at the general election on November 3 from the three junior-senior candidate. The other four women will be princess attendants. The candidates were chosen on the basis of their participation in school activities. JEANETTE BRIGHT, one junior-senior class queen , candidate, hails from Maple Falls, Washington. This 5'5%" 20-year-old blue-eyed junior can well claim acknowledgement of her many activities. In addition to being vice-president of the Associated Students, president of the Interchip Council, and a member of Valkyrie, Jeanette can be seen daily ringing up the lunch costs at the Edens cafeteria. She has a frosh sister, Pat, at school this year. MARIE EINES, tall graceful WRA president, also was chosen to represent the junior-senior class as queen candidate. Marie, a blue-eyed junior also, is active in all sports and a member of the Valks. She comes'to WWC from Ketchikan, Alaska. It is rumored that her light brown hair forms the longest braids in school. Want to measure them? CHERYL SMITH, more commonly known as "Snuffy," hits the measuring rod at all of five feet—well, almost all! Cheryl, the third junior- senior selectee, has brown hair and dark brown eyes. "Activity" seems to be her middle name, for in addition to working in the co-op, this junior from Bremerton is fellowship chairman on the AWS commission, Valkyrie vice president, and four quarter woman representative to the Board of Control Pat Scott, dark-haired, darb-eyed sophomore from Bellingham, was elected sophomore princess. A great deal of Pat's time is spent on her job as editor of the WWCol-legian. This 19-year-old slim Valkyrie member also finds time to fulfill her duties as vice president of the AWS. "Scotty" wields a mean tennis racquet and is interested in many sports. Barbara Gilles, the freshman, princess, has short black hair, dark brown eyes and fair skin. This 5'5" -17-year-old frosh from Lynden is active in the WRA, is Worthy Adviser of her Rainbow Assembly in Lynden, and is taking part in the forthcoming minstrel show. Barbara is living at the dorm and is taking a pre-nursing course. VOL. XLI11—NO. 6 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, October 29,1943 Home Front Week Royalty Look To Bright Future Forming a smiling "V" for Victory for the first Home Front celebration in the history of the college are the three junior-senior candidates for the crown of Queen Sigrid VI, left to right, Cheryl Smith, Marie Eines, and Jeanette Bright; frosh princess Barbara Gillies, and sophomore princess, Pat Scott. The week-end events, \formerly called Homecoming, will be known as Home Front for the duration. Instead of the former honor of reigning at the week's football classic, this year Queen Sigrid will launch a ship at the Northwest Shipyard as the highlight of her royal activities. \ World Student Fund Drive Sponsored •The World Student Service fund campaign has been launched for the year 1943-44. Larger returns than ever before are being asked. This World Student fund organization is an education society which in previous years has helped to educate students from foreign countries who otherwise would not have the opportunity for advanced learning. This year it is the desire of the WSSE to raise money so that they might provide American boys in German prison camps with all types, of books so that these years will not be wasted. American men in the foreign prison camps will thus be able to work for their degrees while being imprisoned under this plan. The Blue Triangle is sponsoring the campaign at WWC and is being aided by the AWS. v Barron's Blackface Minstrels Line Up • Interlocutor for the coming minstrel show will be Declan Barron. The show will be in three parts and the following will participate in the first part; Bob De Pastel, Sambo; Glenn Burgess, Bones; Alfred Clement, Rastus; Charles Pom-eroy, Tambo; Zosia Nowogroski, Mi-randy; and Merrie Virginia *Erland-son, Lulubelle. The chorus for the first part con "sists of: Bob Lenning, Stuart Mol-drem, Tom Hillier, Dean Ossewarde, Lloyd Jones, Gerald Pells, Helen Rabb, Virginia Pendleton, Ruth Mc- Innes, Peggy Payne, Pat Mapes, Joyce Dorman, Charlotte Samples, and Barbara Gillies. "We have not decided on the cast for the rest of the show," was the statement released by the committee in charge. Food, Fortunes, Fun Mardi Gras Theme • Not New Orleans, but the student lounge of WWC will, be the setting for a mardi gras November 12.

Mrs. Peterson spoke about the present difficulty in securing help in fountains and restaurants and voiced the opinion that some sort of a school should be set up for training workers for these openings. Mr. Staggs commented on statements made by the two preceding speakers and spoke about the labor shortage from the shipyard worker's viewpoint. He stated that job freezing has been a "laugh' and that some better method of assigning labor should be devised.

That will be their future husband. You can tell this is war! • FIFTEEN MORE MINUTES have been added to the deadline for madly dashing up the front steps of Edens. The health committee granted the new 10:30 closing hours on week nights, at the request of the girls, who complained that the former hour conflicted with the city bus schedules.

Students say, "Look at Cheney. They have a team already and they only have 15 male students. What's the matter with WWC?" Well, Mr. Average Student, let's look at the matter this way- Eastern Washington College has only' a fair intramural set-up and besides that they have to furnish all their own gym equipment. At WWC we always have had the reputation of having an intramural organization of the highest quality with all equipment and garb furnished. Now, doesn't it stand to reason that EWC will have to have some kind of activity for its male students? Since they have only 15 men, they hardly can have an intra-school program with this number, but they could band them all together and have one team. Here at WWC we have 35 men and to have varsity would give about ten men a chance to play, leaving 25 men without action. Of course not all the men will be able to participate and this would cut the total in half, a number which would make intramural impossible if ten of the best were playing varsity. Then, we ask you, is it practical to have a varsity when more than the number playing will have to be idle? CARVER, A GOOD MAN Sam Carver, Western Washington's quiet personality, is not only a fine teacher of athletics but a cracker jack of a performer in his own right. Sam is the school's number-one badminton player and we mean The Number One. He is fast and accurate with the flying bird—most likely, one of the city's best. Lakeway golf-course has been the scene of some of the best golf in the Northwest and some of the best Winco teams have called this home. Yes, to. get back to Sam.^ If you see a tall bronze figure ambling along out there really playing the game, nine times out of ten -it will be none other than our Sam Carver.

DON ELDRIDGE—Mount Vernon contribution to the fair sex, plays a rousing game of basketball. "Metropolitan" describes Don who has done quite a bit of traveling abroad. Ho0£sfers Set • Intramural basketball started out in high Wednesday night as 23 hoopsters, four teams, turned out for the first game. Monday -after school the fellows had a chance ta "feel their oats" in a couple of practice games. Team captains had a,chance to size up their opponents and the stage was set for the first big fracas of the season, Wednesday night. Ernie Ludwick rates a hand for his game under the basket ringing up 22 of the team's 49 points for the league's high point man. Burklund and Pomeroy did a good job working the ball in for "Lud" to put away. Johnson performed well in his first and lastf game at WWC, for he's been ordered to the University of Washington by the Navy V-12. Jim Gilday's team, although badly outplayed, showed fine offensive teamwork; Herb Witt showed mastery under the hoop scoring half of the team's 29 points, with Eldridge and Gilday handling the ball well on the floor. ' , The Munizza-Wark tourney was a little closer, Larry's team coming out on top 35 to 25. Muniz, playing a good all-round game, captured the team's high point spot with twelve counters. Nordtvedt accounted for eleven points, also playing his last game at WWC. The Navy Air corps claims him Monday. Checking their men down to almost nothing, Jones and Goff handled the old "casaba" smoothly while Cale Campbell sparked the team with chatter and ran the men ragged. Getting off to a bad start, Wark's five could never quite get back on . its feet. Roy Wark played his usually good game making 10 points and Kjell Dahl slid in four shots keeping the team in the game. Monday, November 1, Ludwick's team versus Munizza's, and Gilday's vs. Wark's.

RUTH BURNE1— ...Publications Adviser jup Initiation Ordeal Oven Memory Lingers • Hideous zombies' wandered the streets giving out queer animal-Uke sounds. At least that is what it looked like to the innocent bystander. The truth of it is—it was just the initiation of cub reporters. The gruesome ordeal is over, but the memory certainly lingers on, so they claim. Here's what a few of the victims have to say about their official reception onto the staff of the WWCollegian: Glenn Burgess—''I never felt so strange in my life." Lucille Bovee—"I hate to disappoint you, but I haven't had so much fun in ages." (Editor's note: we hadn't seen anyone so frightened in ages, either!) Naomi Larson—"It was O.K., only what the heck was that on my pan? I took all the skin off trying to remove it." (Incidentally, Naomi had a date that night and was she worried that it wouldn't come off!) Jean Borchardt hadn't really planned on getting initiated, but some of the boys tookf over—No matter what she said, she loved it! iaiis MAIL BOX FLOODED •"' -Every day we are receiving requests for the WWCollegian from former students now in the service. " ' ' An aviation mechanic arid former WWCollegian staff member wrote recently. and.. demanded, some action. The mail had evidently been delayed as he had not yet received the college paper. He 'asked, if we'd forgotten him entirely. _.. • URGENT REQUESTS MADE •Many 'boys have written asking if vsome one would please send them a copy of the paper. Through this weekly edition, the boys feel they can keep in contact with the college and old classmates. One former student, now an aviation cadet, wrote and asked where his paper was, and then two days later a letter of thanks Was received from him. At last it had arrived and he claimed thta •he- knew it by Tieart, he'd read it so many times. Enclosed in the envelope was a "weatherbeaten ol' buck" as he called it. He said, "Now, I'll be sure to get the paper, won't I?" • BACK THE MARDI GRAS The "AWS is sponsoring a Mardi Gras, November 12, for the benefit fund to send WWCollegians to ' servicemen. We all ought to getbehind this affair and make it a success. The AWS last ;year started a fund and sent some college papers to former students • in the service. . Our boys really appreciated it and it is obvjous. i . that they would like to. have the paper sent to them this year. ' ' • ' WE TELL THE MARINES * A couple of. former. WWC students now in the Marine Corps walked intq the men's lounge the other day .and .were rather embarrassed to discover a faculty meeting was in session there. It was; customary. when • they were' in college. for the fellows to go to the 'lounge and relax or study wheri tfiey had no classes. VThe, ;boy| Were: quite surprised to .hear •that i t "is; usaJ only :for^meetings ea mpri CAMPI In honor of their annual homecoming gypsy day, the Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen, South Dakota, published their paper The Exponent on bright blue and green paper. At that eastern college the students select both a queen and a Marshal, to rule over their celebration. - , From the Young America I picked the following, not so funny, joke: Mr. Henry: Why are you stopping the car? Mrs. Henry: The red book says to turn north and follow the trolley. We will have to wait till one comes along. Here at good old WWC, we have one of the smallest enrollments in the school's history, but that's not the cas eat some other colleges in the state. The Walla Walla Collegian states that their college has a large enrollment... A large number of girls are overflowing all the housing facilities there. Registrar Notifies Unscholarly Kids • "The time has come," the walrus said, "to speak of many things." But right now the time has come to speak of only one thing, deficiency slips. These brief notices, distributed through the registrar's office, will soon be in the hands of a few (?) WWC students who have failed to keep their; grades up to average. \.

No. 7 in a series of Kute Kome-backs: When some moron asks you the age-old- question of "What's cookin'", merely look a little out-of-this- worldish and reply, "Me. I've just been listening to Frank Sinatra." (Paid Advertisement) Any man wishing a date to the Norseman's Informal not later than 11:30 tonight, call (yes, I know the phone number is omitted but this certain party only paid for fifteen words and they are all used up. Too bad.) *NOTICE* The number of days in the week has been reduced. They now are: Sunday, Monday or Always. News Items. What female Mount Vernonite is breaking her true love's heart over this Norseman dance?— One of our spies at Edens hall tells us that the other night a man whistled while going past and all the women nearly 'killed themselves getting to the door (just kidding, of course. That whistle was for only one Edens resident). Mary Jean En-dicot is sporting a new paratroop jack-knife, several Paratroop in-signe, etc. etc. Do you know any one in that branch of the service, Jean? Advice to the 4-Fs from the sports editor: Dash for the roundhouse, men; the women can't corner you there. The rumor about the faculty taking part in the minstrel show is no longer a rumor—it's a fact. They are planning to do "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and it is expected to be the highspot of the show. (You're welcome, faculty.) Bob Hope pulled a good one the other night, he said his favorites were "Peaceful Parkin' Mamas" . . . Well, I believe that should be about enough corn for one week, so I will take my leave. I also will take my hat and coat. They always say "if ya gotta ghost, ya gotta ghost"—bye, now. each quarter, a student is given a deficiency for that class informing him of the present status of his work. Although these are only for the student's personal benefit, the receivers seem to become afflicted with.a case of the "blues," a disease which could be easily cured, in most, cases, by a little study.

The registrar's office announces that when it becomes assured that student labor will be required in the harvesting effort, the exact date for leaving will be announced. It is. now understood that it either will be the week beginning October 16 or the following week. ^ So far 22 students have designated their desire to support this _t • i \ / # I* • i. work by handing in to the regis- Prominent VlOliniSt trar's. off ice signed permission slips. |-|@|nS ^J/a^ E f f o r t Many more students are expected to * ^ • -^ . . . .. • ._ • "I don't have much time npoart tichiapnadtee,d butht eiar s syleipts thiney. hTahvies should be done at the earliest possible date. The apples which are grown in Wenatchee are the large, round, red and juicy Jonathans and Delicious. They have the reputation of being crisp and crackling to the bite. After the apples have been picked and packed, many of them will be shipped to the boys in the armed forces. Library Display Informs Studes •To create interest in the vast, wealth of information which can be found in the dictionaries available in the library, a display has been prepared in a lower hall of the library building by Herbert Hearsey, reference librian. The differences between the two most widely used of this type of reference book, Webster's Dictionary and New International, is shown by illustrations. It was pointed out by the reference librarian that most students do not know many useful facts about these books. For example, Webster's has a second alphabet containing rare and obsolete words which other dictionaries do not have. Explanations of other well-known dictionaries are given together with the displaying of the book such as the Oxford dictionary and its American equivalent, the Dictionary of American English. The numerous specialized dictionaries are also given emphasis because of their importance in obtaining information on specific subjects. A few of these are the Psychiatric dictionary, the Dictionary of Technical Terms, and the Dictionary of Psychology. The purpose of these displays, is to arouse interest in the various reference books. In this way the students will learn to utilize these tools more fully. Klipsun Staff Plans 1944 Yearbook • Klipsun staff members have started plans for the 1944 yearbook. Several suggested themes already have been submitted and now are being worked out in greater detail. Lorraine McConnell, editor of this year's book, is making arrangements for the photography of all class and'other group pictures. Although the staff is small, many have had previous experience in this type of work and thus have a foundation to build upon, according to the editor. War conditions and scarcity of materials will limit the contents somewhat. However, a book similar in quantity and quality to that of last .year is being planned by staff; for anything besides music now as I work the graveyard shift at the shipyard," was the astounding statement made by George A. Johnson, violinist who appeared in last Tuesday's assembly. As he put his violin and music, away he told how he practices the violin every day from 8 to 12 and then works in the shipyard at night. Among his many other activities he plays with the Seattle Symphony under the direction of Sir Thomas Beecham. » At this point he was interrupted and asked how he thought the music of a certain prominent violinist sounded since he had been using a new violin. "I thought it sounded cheesy," was his very abrupt and frank answer. Looking more like a college athlete than a musician as he picked up his violin case he went on to say that he was also a soloist at present with the Tacoma Philharmonic symphony. He played for seven years as a staff member of the Tacoma radio station and as a sideline he had as many as 40 students. When asked his opinion of modern and swing music he grinned and said, "Any music is good that is good music."—figure that one out! Boson Directs College Cnoir The choir, under the direction of Nils Boson, held its first meeting last Tuesday night at 7 o'clock. A good.-sized'group of students turned out and plans were discussed for, arranging a program of Christmas music to be given in the college library.

Tom Hillier, elected president by a majority vote in the first ballot, will be assisted by Betty Anderson as vice president, and Elaine Dahlgren, newly elected secretary-treasurer. Dr. E. A. Bond was chosen faculty adviser for the class.

Dirty hands are no novelty to "Myrt" who doesn't shy away from grease jobs, either. Rosemary Kirby, freshman, is among the many women whose part time nursing course at WWC is providing fundamentals to apply while on floor duty at the hospital. Asked to comment upon her chosen profession, Miss Kirby remarked, "It's 'patients? that counts." Virginia1 Sorgenfrei, Edens hall sophomore, has spent a total of 80 hours plotting calls for the aircraft warning service at the local filter center. The army makes sure that Virginia and other dorm girls don't break regulation hours. The plotters are delivered to their doorstep at the end of their shift in an army truck. Georgia Driver, WRA cabinet member, devotes several hours weekly to her duties as a junior hostess at the local Servicemen's Recreation center. The hostesses plan and entertain at parties and dances held for members of the armed forces. (The reporter presumes that this work must be extremely boring). Local Church Helps Youth • The First Presbyterian church has a junior organization, open to all high school and college students, which meets on Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock. "The purpose of this organization is to help the young people to better understand the problems of the world, from a Christian standpoint," stated Bob De Pastel, world service chairman and host of this Christian group.

WHO'S WHO, SAY MEN Men of this campus, claiming it is a major problem to have 87 girls in one dorm to identify and remember, have a suggestion to offer as an improvement to the hospitality of Edens Hall. "Why hot," asked one of the perplexed, "Post a rotogravure with pictures of all girls in the front entrance hall, supplemented with additional information as name, height, etc." Evidently, the girls would rather keep them guessing. EDENS GIRLS GIVE SHOW Something new in the way of entertainment has been added to Edens Hall, which might be described as nightly "skits." The stage setting is the front steps and porch of this dorm, the time is usually just before closing hour, and the seats are the window sills of all of the front rooms. The actors are usually half portrayed by the girls of Edens and receive numerous "off-stage" comments from the spectators leaning out of the windows. Sounds patriotic, doesn't it, to stage their own entertainment and save their movie money for war stamps? HOSPICE BOYS GO A-TRIPPING Several of the boys at the corner of Garden and Terrace were visiting out of town last week. Declan Barron was in hiding for four days at Sumas; Dale Burklund flew home to Bremerton for a "short week-end/' as he states; Fred Martinson spent the week-end in Blaine, ^ t his home.

Breaking out of high school in 1938 with a glory wreath in. athletics big enough to choke a horse he entered CPS in Tacoma. Before making his debut here in 1940 Larry had won a notch in just about every sport possible at Puyallup and CPS which was a mere handfull to what he had ahead of him at Western. Munizza has been a giant killer in the sports realm here, winning varsity honors in football, basketball, track for four years, and also a top flight man in the intramural campaigns in bowling, Softball, and volleyball. In Larry's case it isn't the quantity that stands out so much as it is the quality. He gives the opponents all he has to start with and never hears the bell. Munnizza tutors the training school basketball team this winter and it looks as'if they're in for a championship.

He saw lots of action last year for the Viks and proved to be a promising prospect: He has been in the Navy for •about eight months and is in submarine duty. He is now in the San Diego Naval hospital. Bailey Attends Stanford U • Back on a ten-day furlough, Pvt. Dong Bailey of the U.S. Army and a student and athlete at school here last year was on the campus this week for a very short stay. Doug was an intramural sports enthusiast and played with last year's school basketball champs, Hospice Inn.

O—r-^ "'.••••:' Big Don Neal Visits Campus OT • SHOTS by cale Campbell Your Life, Men? The least interest shown in the school's history towards intramural athletics by the men students this fall is a bitter example of a lack of a democratic feeling in school activities. Yes, men. This is a reflection that falls on each and every one of you not only in sportsmanship aspect but in a lack of responsibility towards the school you have the privilege of attending. Each and every year the men of this institution have taken it upon themselves to dig in and help build a student program that would be an asset to the school... This year the freshmen have developed that (I don't care) attitude towards men's after school athletics which is a degrading outlook not only for an individual but for a group. Sam Carver and Charles Lappen-busch have been working-.like demons to get enough men out to get a dinky little volleyball game going. It's; not a very good thing for people to have to beg you into coming out and helping these boys put this program over. So far there are the following men participating: Moldrem, Hillier, Pells, Lambert, Goff, Martinson, Jones," Burklund, Ludwick, Wills, Munizza, Foster,, and Pomeroy. No, this isn't a very good showing, men, and I think your name and your, buddies' names should be on there. LETTS GET IN AND PITCH FOR A BIGGER AND BETTER FEELING TOWARDS WWC AND HELP MAKE THE INTRAMURAL PROGRAM TOPS. • Don Neal, former varsity football star and ex-Norseman president, now a member of the KXA radio news staff in Seattle, was back on the campus this week for a short visit. He was a guest at Hospice Inn. Don was a graduate of Bel-lingham high school in 1940, where he was a member of the grid eleven. He then traveled over across the state ot Pullman where he was a promising member of the Cougar's freshman club. In 1941 he enrolled at WWC where he wrote for himself a name on the Viking turf. Neal was a member of the Mutual network this last summer before accepting a position with KXA recently. Women to Hike • Plans have been completed by the Women's Recreational association's outing committee for the group hike scheduled for tomorrow morning under the direction of the newly elected committee chairman, Betty Brunswig. All WRA members are invited. The hikers' destination will be Chuckanut mountain, and the group will meet at the Physical Education building at 10 o'clock, Saturday morning. According to Miss Virginia Hawke, adviser of the group, transportation will be fumishecPin private cars if possible, to the beginning point of the hike. If this is impossible because of present transportation conditions, the group will ride on the city bus to the end of the line, continuing the hike from that point. The hikers plan to be back into town at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. STILL FIGHTING "Thank you," says this Yugoslavian soldier, for the contributions sent as a result of this eity's united community drive in which AFL unions are participating through the Labor League for Human Rights. He pronounces it "H-va-la li-epo," but it still means "Many thanks" for the food packages and medical kits which generous Americans have contributed to Yugoslavian prisoners of war. Allene Rue, all-round girl from Bellingham, continually outstanding, in every sport, was tennis champion at high school. Tom Hillier, newly elected freshman prexy, played football at Bellingham high, guard on high school freshman basketball team. Dale Burkland, son of Bremerton, starred itv basketball at Seattle Pacific college, good prospect for WWC varsity. Earl Nordvedt, comes to WWC from WSC, sportsman from the word go, played third base for Bellingham Bells, Naval air corps will soon rob "Lappy" of good cage prospect. Elaine Dahlgren, scholar and athlete from Mount Vernon, made her letter in sports, excells in tennis. Helen Raab, Seattle Miss, finds her right in sports as a swimmer, incidentally well known for her singing. Red Raiders Tromp Prep Impressively • Trouncing Seattle Prep 27 to 6, the Bellingham high Friday showed plenty of power, and looked like a potential championship outfit. It was their first game and victory in Cross State play this year, and they are tied with Stadium of Tacoma for the league lead. Led by a hard charging back field, the Red Raiders were outstanding on offense, but they were spotty on defensive play. The Red line, although weak on defense, held the Prep attack down except for the one long march in the second quarter when Seattle scored. • Capt Don Bell, who has been Tumored as being injured recently, was heard from this week from Africa and is all right and in good health. Red Pups Drofp Hospice Inn For First Win Intramural League Leadership Will Be Decided Next Week When Hot Pups Battle Kids • Ernie Ludwick's Red Pups eked out a close two out of three victory over a scrappy Hospice Inn team, in an intramural contest Wednesday afternoon. The Pups, having more height at the net, took the first game 15 to 11, but were pushed to the limit to take the second 15 to 13 from the fiery Inners. 'Firerball' Cale Campbell, the talkingest man on the floor, kept his team at a fighting ' pitch through both contests, but fight wasn't enough to overcome the tall, fast Pups. Foster, Witt, Outstanding . Paul Foster and Herb Witt did an outstanding job of setting the ball up for Munizza and Ludwick to kill, and the Pups' team play was outstanding. Time and again the Reds set the ball up and made kills despite all the defensive tricks and saves made by the hustling Hos-picers. Long rallys were prevalent throughout the games, with both teams making sensational plays. Roy Wark, along with Lloyd Jones, was outstanding for the Inn boys on defense, coming up with next to impossible saves at the net. Campbell and Burklund took on most of the offensive chores for the Timers, both making nice kills at net and serving long strings. Pups Battle Kids Intramural play will continue^ next week with the Pups battling it out with the Chocolate Kids for the league lead. Both teams have victories over the Hospice men, and the record shows them to be evenly matched. Hot contests are expected, with the ups having speed anil experience, and the Chocolates having the height advantage. All boys interested in playing any type of intramural sport should turn out at 4 o'clock any day of the week except Thursday. . On Thursday evening, the gym is open to both men and women for mixed rec, women have half of the gym on Tuesdays and all of it on Thursdays at 4 p. m. Head Intramural Play Sam Carver an4 Charles Lappenbusch, advisers of the men's intra-mural athletic program at school here have spent many hours building:' and planning a suitable program of after school recreation for the' male students. MEN STUDENTS—Let's.each and,every one of ydii try and arrange to compete in at least one of the forms of comp^r: tition offered.

FROSH IDEA There's a rumor going around the campus that some sprightly frosh have an idea worth inves-gating. The story goes that these freshmen were looking over the phonograph records in the Student lounge one day. and they decided that there was a definite need for new ones. They glanced around the lounge and came to the conclusion that more furnishings would certainly improve the room. Then, an idea came to them. It has by word of mouth progressed rapidly until it is now in the form of vague plans for a big minstrel show. SHOULD WE TAKE ACTION? The minstrel show is merely an idea. Maybe someone has a better money making scheme in the back of his mind, but let's give a hand to-the fellow who's energetic. We can't wait for someone to step in and donate a large sum of money to our depleted lounge fund. We won't get improvements by talking it up—there must be action. It is. only logical that an all school function would be the most certain to receive the backing of the entire student body. How about that minstrel show? Let's look into the possibilities. STUDENT ACTIVITY CENTER Did you realize that since the (Publications offices were moved last spring, the Student lounge, AWS room, ASB office, WWCol-legian and Klipsun offices are located near each other? Our student activity rooms are centrally located now. This gives us a perfect opportunity to follow up an idea that many people have tried to initiate for. several years. These student and faculty members wished to establish a section of the, building ,tb be known as the student activity cen- By LORNA JEAN BOORAS • Costumed as Mother Goose or "other story book characters, the blindfolded frosh of Edens hall were thoroughly initiated into Mother Goose's "Big Forest" Tuesday evening. Crawling on all fours up three flights of cluttered stairs, they humbly aproached their upper classmen and bowed to these sup-perior dorm-mates to offer their services. For the next hour and a half, the rug of the Blue room was in constant use for wiping off grins, rolling like a shade, or frying like an egg. With Mary Louise Burke as the inhumane Mother Goose who told them what to do, the willing initiates staged an impromptu program for the upper classmen, whom meanwhile "booed" their dramatic attempts. One by one, Billy Goat Gruff, Dopey, Peter Pan, Little Miss Muffet, and all their little friends were handed punishment for their boring program performances in the form of essays to write on the superiority of the upper-classmen, beds to make for them, or songs and musical selections to perfect for Wednesday night's dinner. After the initiates had served refreshments to the faculty and upper- classmen, they were allowed to clean up the dishes and peacefully retire until 5 a. m. the next morning when the initiates were to awaken their upper-classmen so they could turn over and go back to sleep.

All we actually lack now is a sign indicating the presence of this center and designating the locality in which it may be found. • DIRECTORY NEEDED While we're mentioning needed improvements, there's the subject of a departmental directory. It takes quite a bit of finger pointing and description to explain to newcomers the whereabouts of the English offices downstairs or the music department upstairs. As a matter of fact, someone new to the building usually has difficulty before he can even find the auditorium. A directory of offices and departments is definitely, lacking. If this directory were placed in the main hall/the confusion of freshmen and visitors would no doubt be remedied. D D Our cruel editor just reefed out of the office long enbugh for yours truly to saunter up to the copy box, look around nonchalantly, and quickly slip this column under the pile of copy. Do I hear a small voice saying, "Too bad the editor had to leave"? This certainly has been an interesting week . . . or weren't you lucky enough to see all the service men that were visiting the old Alma Mater these last few days? To enumerate, they were: Pvt. Ed Mus-cutt, Bill Junkin yeoman 2/c, Pvt. Doug Bailey, and Second Lieutenant Brian Robeson. Ah, men! They were wonderful, weren't they? A little piece or worse verse that voices the woes of all us lonesome women follows: Be he gone? Am he went? Done he left I all alone?

People have been shot for less! Do I hear Lois asking Les Who? Wade Haggard writes that he and Art Stenson, former students, acted in the capagity of Masters of Ceremonies with one other boy for the "Blues in the Night," a show staged by the boys stationed at Dickinson College, North Dakota. Lefty Le Baron, WWC tennis ace, also starred with his rope tricks. Well, the opportunity for escape is at hand, so we'll leave you with this thought for the week: Little boys who eat their spinach grow up to be M.P.'s; little girls who eat their spinach grow up to be P.P.M.'s (Pistol Packing Mamas). But who likes spinach, anyway? One battle won does not win a war. We've got toogker times ahead.

Last week, by previous plans, we interviewed Geoffrey Paige of the British Navy on his experiences, but this week, by chance, we give you a personal slant on this young sailor who is spending his free afternoons puttering around the art room to develop his printing technique and helping turn our war-theme posters. "I'm not really a student," Paige said laughingly, "I'm just playing around because I'm interested in art and plan to try my luck in the field of commercial advertising after the war." But, though he spends his time on printing and seems to master it, it's drawing that really interests him, and he is taking printing because he feels he will need it. "No," he admitted, "I'd much rather draw and I do aboard the ship in all my spare time—pictures of girls mostly, not from models!" When the war is over, he has his plans tied up in art school, probably in London, although they specialize too heavily in classical arts to suit him. Maybe he'll be back to the States.

This is one of the most famous of the comic operas and is to be presented in English. The fact that women aren't the weaker sex was proved by a story in the University of Washington Daily. It seems one of the freshman coeds was just retaining home when she was stopped by a small-time criminal who ordered her to stick them up. She dropped her purse and started to yell like mad. i'he robber scooped up the purse and started to run, but the burly coed took after him yelling - and screaming for help.

Marjory Moil was elected treasurer by the women students at the close of the fall quarter. Because she. is expected to return to school this year, the vacancy, according to the ASB constitution is of a . temporary nature and the selection was up to Eileen Gardiner, president, and her commission members. '^V'Thls first commission meeting of 5 the quarter was a tea planned by Cheryl Smith, commission member, and it was held in the women's lounge. •President Eileen announced to the commission that Ruth Oldes, last year's social committee chairman, will head all war activities.

Former Instructor Studies Hard • Ensign Ramon George, formerly an instructor in the Speech department, writes from his naval training station at Cambridge that he misses activities at WWC.

Dr. Haggard went on to s a y t h a t Deatt: Buchanan has the reputation of being an outstanding speaker. r gt; 'Brief Musie| | Play Chosen By PAT MURRAY • "Brief Music," a comedy of college life by Emmet La very, has been chosen by the Drama department for the fall quarter production. This play, selected in accord with the times has an all girl cast of seven characters. Spiff, the college Amazon, is clever and handsome; Drizzle, delicate and deeply emotional, is a poet; Lovey is the class beauty; Minnie is a college smoothie; Maggie is a dynamic per-sonaliay and utterly honest; Rosey is the college oracle; Jinx, is the eternal straggler. The scene is in a women's dor-mitory on the campus of an eastern college. For three acts, typical events and scenes of college life are' portrayed. The characters are all delightfully drawn, the dialogue is effervescent and in places brilliant r~ there is a thoughtful vein in the show as well a s college pranks of., all sorts. ~ ; Brief Music has been given production by the Pasadena Community Playhouse and by Mills College. The dates of production at WWC are planned to help celebrate Home-front Week-end in November. Brief Music will be shown for two performances in Penthouse style in the Student lounge. All girls' regularly enrolled in this school are eligible for try-outs. These will occur Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon, Sept. 30th, and Oct. 1st, at 4 p. m. in room 308. Copies of the play may be obtained on the reserve shelf in the reading room of the library. Drama at WWC is a regular associated student activity under the direction * of the Speech department. Plays are given during fall, winter, and summer terms. Last fall's production, penthouse style, was "The Male Animal." Student Lounge Scene Of Pigtailed Lassies Rollicking Party Tonight ^ • Witfc "dwate big thuckers and thilly, thimple pigtailths," the annual opening week kid party got under way last Wednesday night at 8 o'clock in the student lounge. Sponsored by the Associated Women Students, the party served successfully as a mixer to get the old and new women students acquainted, according to Harriet plow, chairman of the affair. ; \ A little kid who trooped in Syfitth " /bare: feet/ rolled up overalls, a blight plaid shirt, and pigtails, carrying a wiggly snake turned out to /be/ Joyce Dorman, Edens hall .freshman.

Faculty. sponsors for the evening were: Miss Lorraine Powers, Miss Mifa Booth, and Miss Virginia Hawke." ~ - ••• «•-•--•- - -••-•.- . Piexif Wtiies TO THE STUDENTS : The problems of the postwar world will be profoundly more difficult than our problems of the war, if the mistakes that followed World War I are repeated. The college campus affords the best opportunities available for the study of the difficult problems ahead. Going" to college is always a serious matter, but it is more so now. I warmly welcome both new and returning students to utilize to - the fullest extent every opportunity here in 1943-44 for their educational and professional advancement. It is hoped that this is the objective of every student, on the campus. Fof several years our appointment office will not be able to meet the demands placed upon it.

Campus Newcomers Shown Buildings • Where is the Physical Education building?" "Do you need a library card to check out books?" are only two of the questions asked by freshmen on the tours last Monday. Under the direction of Lorraine McConnell, chairman of the tour committee, freshmen were directed from the main building to the heating plant, industrial arts building, Campus school, library, Edens hall, and then back again to the main building. The • freshmen were divided into groups and each group was taken over by two upperclassmen as guides. Remarks made by many freshman implied that they were especially impressed' with the Campus school and the library. Many comments were heard on the studious atmosphere of the library and the many books available. After the tours were over, all the groups met on the front steps where two pictures were taken of the freshmen. To complete the first day for the freshmen, moving pictures »were shown in the auditorium, Monday evening at 8 o'clock. This was followed by groups singing lead by Ruth McGinnis. rsi ler INSULATE Your Home You Con Save Vs of Your FUEL BJLL , This Coming Month Storm-Sash and All Types of Insulation IN STOCK COLUMBIA VALLEY Lumber Co.

Gymnasiums are few and far between that can top the beautiful well-planned building that our campus sports. With all equipment furnished except for shoes, the college is proud^ff. its PE set-up. . Golf clubs, badminton racquets, shuttles, swiimnirig suits, fencing equipment, etc., are available for use by all students on the campus.

Swimming pool— .. Swimming has become a very popular, form of entertainment here on the hill and the swimming pool in the PE building is an ideal place for the campus splashers to splash. FOOTBALL GETS HEAVE Gridiron fans at WWC are in for a very dull season this year as the sport has definitely been cancelled. • New Saying Yes, there is no joy in Mudville— for mighty Casey has struck out. Yes, there is no joy at Western— for Mr. Gridiron has struck out. INTRAMURAL IN Coaches Carver and Lappenbusch have a crackerjack of an intramural program mapped out for the coming year and this will be a step to fill up the gap left open by the cancelled gridiron season. The students, each and everyone, have a chance to make this program a big success on the campus this fall. This summer the intramural program was run irispirationally by Lappy and his staff and can be made a solid example to be followed this autumn. Volleyball will be the first form of competition offered this fall.

Y6u can't blame Coach Lappenbusch for being a little'stumped, either. The feminine foursome is charming despite the bagging jersies and the fact that they are all swallowed in oversized helmets, but how'd you like to teach them an oil-center play? No, the Viks are not going to have a women's football team this year—in fact, they aren't going to have any football team this fall.

The first hike of the year, sponsored by the WRA, will be held this Saturday. Students are asked to meet iii front of the Physical Education building at 1:30. before heading for the "rocks." All students are urged to come as a great deal of fun will be in store. The "rocks" is. practically an institution; or at least the place where WWC hikers have made their goal for many years. So all students new and old, who are looking for a good time and loads of fun should turn out Saturday at 1:30. pigskin. They were overjoyed by the big W's they earned. Now they wear a smart khaki and carry a gun and are very proud of the freedom they are earning. Pete Gudyka, John Nelson, Phil Crimins, Al Munkres, Don Bell, Les Winters, Fred Strankman, Norm Lowery, Art Stenson, and many other names are rung up on the flag hanging in our main hall. These boys entered WWC as freshmen and did nobly for themselves serving the white and blue. They now top all, other previous performances in serving the Red, White, and Blue of Uncle Sam. Coach Lappenbusch finally was forced to make this decla- ..ration, because of the acute lack of material. Although Larry Mnnnizza, last year's captain, has returned to school this fall, the insufficient number of men made it impossible to have a complete., squad. Western Washington, in dropping football closed the lid on the coffin of the gridiron sport, as far as the Winco league is concerned. WWC was the last school in the circuit to give up the pigskin ghost... "But the Blue and White may keep up its football standards through intramural play this year,'* explained Lappenbusch. Girls Wanted ONE PART T I M E - ONE FULL TIME— DOWNTOWNER Bellingham National Bank Building Men's Gym Night • Men's swim night, cancelled because of the Polio scare, was a great success as a gym night. About twenty men turned out, and volleyball took the spotlight early in the evening. Sam Carver proved to be the winning margin for his team in a two out of three series. A brisk basketball workout was in order during the latter part of the evening. The' fellows teamed up itno two fairly even outfits, and the lead changed hands continuously. Hoop Star Fills Family Roster • Proudest man on WWC campus lately is probably none other than Ernest Ludwick, Winco basketball ace and senior student in school here. Robert Ludwick, an eight-pound beauty, arrived early last week, according to word .from;. Mr. and Mrs. Ludwick: With the fame that papa Ludwick has scratched for himself in the basketball annals of the Winco conference and in the Everett high prep records it looks as if in ye years to come there should be another Ludwick to carry on. Last year Ernie was voted a position on the all-state all-time prep team and he also has garnered an'all-winco position here at school. The WWCollegian and Western Washington college congratulate Mr. and Mrs. and wish Bobby success. . :' ., ih\~QrversTo^f^ ..."

Carver, acting Dean of men, is in charge of tintramural sports, and Miss Hawke will direct the competition of the women: students. Both are interested in finding out the names of those students planning to participate. Equipment Available "No definite sport or schedule., has been selected for mtramural play," explained Mr. Carver, ''iiut instead the gym will be opened at 4 o'clock every afternoon.

Ruth Burnet Publications Adviser odttoUak HELLO, FROSH! I .imagine you've noticed how the upperclassmen greet you witfi friendly "Hi's" and "Hello's" regardless of whether they meet you on the campus or not.—You must know by now that you are ever' so welcome, thus, I'll not start out as you'd no doubt imagined with a flowery "Welcome to Western Washington College of Education" but instead, with a frank statement—we certainly expect lots of action from you newcomers. YOU'VE GOT ZIP! A faculty member was heard remarking, "I was adviser to eight of the most charming freshmen girls." Then an upper-classman contributed, "Those f r e s h m an boys I took on the tour were the peppiest group!". That sounds great. . You seem to be a class full of zip, personality, and intelligence, too. We hear that there are several of you coming here on scholarships that you should be mighty proud of. Let's see, zip, that's for join-^ ing our clubs, backing the big' intramural sports program and other extra-curricular activities Personality—that's to get along with everybody, students and fao ulty alike,"helping to make us the cooperative group we want to be. And intelligence, far from least even though it is named last. Intelligence means good scholastic standing, a high grade point average, and indirectly, your success in the future. DO YOU FEEL GREEN? Wouldn't it make you feel better if you stopped to realjze that the big upperclassmen whose appearance makes you self-conscious, had the same green feeling last year or the year before. WE NEED YOU We experienced the same awe at the sight of a big college campus, the thought of dorms, organized houses and college profs. Relax, don't shy away from , upperclassmen. Instead, AH About It ' • - .'• I l l warn you now that this is going to be a short letter because I havent' much time. Gee, mom! College is wonderful—they keep us plenty busy, though. In fact, I'm ashamed to say, I haven't even had time to get homesick. We've had lots of tests but I think I'm passing them all. I was so good in one test that they asked me if I'd like tp take .a course in "bonehead." I didn't know what that was but it sounded important. A senior told me that it's something like anatomy—you study the bones of the head. Tuesday afternoon they had an assembly especially to acquaint us new students with' the facilities of the school and they also had a style show. Naturally I wasn't interested in the clothes, but—(gee, dad, you shoulda seen the women!) That same evening we had a big party in the Student lounge. Sort of a get-acquainted-with-the-rest-of- the-students party. We all wore big yellow tags with our name in large letters. Well, I gotta go now 'cause there's a big "wreck" in the Lounge tonight and I don't want to miss it. Your loving son, ELMER. Freshmen Stew Over Exams By LUCILLE BOVEE Heaven help the poor frosh this week, for he surely needed it, what with all those terrifying entrance exams. Monday at the stroke of nine they all gathered in the auditorium so thta the faculty could.find out what everybody doesn't know, and it proved to be plenty. English was the specialty of Monday but that was simple compared to what happened to the poor innocents in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The tests were scheduled for 8:30 a. m., and they went 'off on time, with the capable assistance of those old-timers, the sophs. _, Arithmetic started the grueling day with all those simple problems that no one could find all the answers to. Spelling and penmanship weren't too bad but by the time the music?? hour came around, well that was just enough. Everyone hummed, in his own special key all the old familiar tunes that we were supposed ot know. *" But that still isn't the end to a perfect day for at 1 p. m. the tests started again. It was a series of those psychological tests where you begin to" see double after a little while. All those little lines and circles and blocks began to look alike only too soon. Prom there the tests progressed to vocabulary and reading material. It is all over now and no one is the sorrier for it, because it means settling down to a year«of work mixed with lots of fun in WWC. join them. They need your assistance. Naturally, they have had at. least a year more of experience in college than you, but you have an opportunity they never had. Because so many old students are gone, you can step right into positions and responsibilities that it took them a year or more to work up to. We know you have zip, personality and intelligence. We're counting on you to apply them. \ Shown in front of Hospice Inn, making friends with Rex, the house mascot, are these,riewcomers to the college: Fred Martinsen, Blaine; Lloyd Jones, Woodland; Bob Lenning, Port Angeles; ancf Dale Burkland, Bremerton. CV*7/6! Elenbaas Announces Her Engagement Flash—Did you notice the diamond on the finger of Serena Elenbaas, senior, last night at the faculty reception? If you did, you probably were one of the first. She is engaged to Sergeant Bob Haugen of Blaine who is a former WWCollegain staff member now stationed at Camp Hood, Texas. FEATURE POEM (?) A hearty greeting to all you Frosh, You re surely welcome here, by gosh And though you feel bewilderment At all this brick and cold cement, Remember, we were once like you But stuck it out and came smiling through. f / / all your tasks leave you amazed, You Wander about so tired and dazed; Though you feel youve lost your self-esteem. And could tear your hair and gladly scream, Remember, we were once like you But stuck it out and came smiling through. This really is an exaggeration. Exacted with deliberation. To show you, in a week or three, Your thoughts will happy and carefree be. Remember, we Were once like you But stuck it out and came smiling through. Frosh Express Impressions • The two wide doors were swung open and instantly a crowd of haggard-looking humans surged out—at least I think they were humans. 'Course after just so many entrance exams it's hard to say so we'll just settle the question and say thta they're new students, mostly freshman. (Note: A Freshman is something thta if you asked a Sophomore the definition of, you'd just get a laugh for an answer.) But getting back to the crowd that was emerging from the auditorium, I decided to stop a few and inquire as to their opinion of WWC. Using an aspirin as bait I attracted a few and put the question to them. Two girls in red sweaters came up first—Pat Mapes and Mary En-dicott, both transfers from Clark Junior College in Vancouver, Wash. They were terribly impressed wiOi the beautiful campus. v Marilyn Miller, Bellingham frosh, thought the Student lounge was really sharp and the same opinion was expressed by Kathleen Ashe and Charles Pomeroy also of this city. A lass from Skagit county was next—Elaine Dahlgren. She likes the Dorm and the Ivy on the outside of the Ad building. About this time we were interrupted by a boy dashing up and down the hall madly shouting, "Women! Women! Ah, wonderful women!" Crazy kid! And here we have another new student, Larry Mnnizza—Larry Mu-nizza???? Now, let's don't kid! Dale Burklund wandered up next and he seems to like Hospice about the best of anything. He also likes the WWCollegian and is going to do sports writing. All the crowd has disappeared now, so I guess I wil) disappear, too.

But just this year, in fact, just this week, one faculty member was heard saying to the other . . . . well, he said quite a lot, but the general drift of the conversation went something like this . . . . "yes, do you know that there are many of them down in that Student, lounge—several of them playing cards—keep it up all day long— even skip classes—(conversation dies away). Not verbatim, of course. In fact, not guaranteed to be the right interpretation (not even efficient eavesdropping, but with the advantages of an open hajj, an unhushed voice and flapping ears, the. results ought to be somewhat authentic, although perhaps sketchy). BRIGHT LIGHTS AND MUSIC Then a few minutes later in another^ part of the building energetic John Bob Germain was h e a r d indignantly murmuring something-abo t'jast having-drop-ped into the lounge—"lights were on—nickelodeon" going going fuli blast and not a soul was down there" . . . . always the great looker-after and fixer-upper of electrical and mechanical things, he was naturally-disturbed by the obvious waste and carelessness. Even carefree fun-making can , be carried too far. Seems like we college procrastinators are expressing in actions what we might say as, "Play and be merry, for tomorrow we must study." Don't' be too observing and make a tie-up between the first illustration and the few-minute-later empty lounge though . . .v Merely o coincidental trend of thought. The loungers were either psychic or more'n likely, the bell rang and they departed for class. • WRA Initiates Sip Tea; Sign Scroll • New* members were pledged into the Women's Recreation association with the traditional signing of the scroll and the receiving of their certificates at the initiation tea, Wednesday at 4 p. m. in the Edens Hall Blue room. Nominations f for the various school offices were made and announcements were given regarding the various spring sport plans. A musical program was offered with Mary Ann McLeod playing a cello solo, and Ruth Williams with a clarinet solo. They were both accompanied by Louise Koetje. The program concluded with a selection on the piano by Doris Ted-ford. j{ Dateline . . . Wednesday, April 19— \ AWS tea, lounge, 2:30-3.30 p. m. Saturday, April 14— Bellingham churches hold-open house in the evening; Inspiring Pianist Presents Recital Concert StageSetting Two Golden Harps By JEAN ELAINE MULVANEY ... • At the final concert of the Civic Music Series, the curtain opened on a stage, unusually set with two golden harps. After graciously taking their places the Salzedo Concert Ensemble, consisting of Carlos Salzedo, harpist; Marjorie Call Salzedo, harpist; Ruth Freeman, flutist; and Ana Drit-tell, cellist; began the program with the "Suite in P " by Handel. This number was one of Handel's early operatic attempts which displays .his solidity of form. The fullness of the first themes opened to enclose -the. audience with a familiar receptiveness in purpose. Becoming lively, the second part contained all the flippant lightness of a graceful and space-covering ballet. On listening to this number, the first impression the ensemble gave was that there was an intermediary Instrument lacking to fill the range between the flute and cello, that was not^fully supplemented by the harps. Lamar Crowson, brilliant young pianist who will appear in assembly next Tuesday, started his musical career at the age of six and at the age of nine began giving public recitals. He has won twenty-five first places in contests in the United States and Canada in piano solo, piano ensemble and original cbmpositionr Mr. Crowson made his debut with an orchestra at the age of ten when he played the Bach-Mozart "Concerto in E Plat"—at eleven he played the Beethoven "C Major Concerto" with the Oregon Federal Symphony—at the age of thirteen, the Lizt "Hungarian Fantasy" with the Portland Philharmonic, and last December he played the Mozart "Concerto in E Flat" with the Tacoma Philharmonic Orchestra. He also played for a series of radio programs from September 1939 to May, 1940. Papers all over the Pacific Northwest have given him many brilliant reviews; Campus Guests Talk Postwar • Postwar planning took a current aspect this morning at the regular Friday morning assembly when qualified speakers held a public forum on postwar problems. Presiding over the meeting, Dr. W. W. Haggard, President, introduced the two speakers, C. Eden Quainton, chairman of the Northwest Commission to Stutjy Peace, and Professor of modern history at the University of Washington; and Linden A. Marider, professor of political science at the University of Washington. Mr. Quainton spoke on "Problems of the Post War Settlement" and Mr. Mander proposed, "What to Do About It." This afternoon an informal discussion will be conducted in the Campus Elementary school auditorium at which time Edward J. Arntzen will be presiding. Participants in this conference will be Wesisey" F. ftennie, Seattle; Dr. Arthur C. Hicks, registrar; Willard S. Oates, Bellingham; and the Rev. Russell Bisnett, Bellingham. This meeting will be conducted from 2 p. m. until 3:30 p. m., and will be open to the public. Any interested students are especially requested to attend this open forum where they will have a chance, to raise any questions they wish to have answered. Conqrats Valks Pre-lnducfcion Conference Shows iIrriiss BBoowwddeenn,. ssoopohhoommoorree,. aanndd CoUntV BoVS MilitatY Life Lorna Jean Booras and Ann Easterbrooks, freshmen, have been entitled to wear the blue and white of a Valkyrie since the Valks met Tuesday and voted them into the club. The three new members have been subjects of congratulations this past week. They also have been the subjects of gleeful glances from Allene Rue, Alice Marie Anderson and Crystal Ackerman, recent in-nitiates, who claim that they have some excellent committee plans for the informal part of the forthcoming initiation. Western Considers Additional Degrees • Under consideration by the three Washington colleges of education is the plan to confer a nonprofessional degree on students not intending to become" teachers. The degree conferred would be B. A. or B.S. Nearly two weeks ago, the idea was discussed by the WWC curriculum committee and it was also" the main subject for discussion at the County Boys Military • To give the senior boys of Whatcom county an idea of what their future military life will hold, educational ^representatives, military officers, and various speakers gathered with almost 200 of these young men at WWC Wednesday for a pre-induction conference. Dr. Paul Grim represented Western Washington College at the conference, which was the second one held on the campus, the idea originating last spring. Beginning with a 10 a. m. registration at the Campus school, the conference was opened . with welcoming addresses, one of which was presented by Dr. W. W. Haggard, who explained the purpose of {he conference. Dr. R. 'Franklin spoke on "Facing Tomorrow's Realities Today" as he emphasized the aid which the service branches give in helping men decide future occupations. Following . a group assembly in the Campus school audi? torium, which included short speeches and community . singing, the young men were divided into faculty meeting Tuesday. / three groups and in rotation held Faculty members devoted part of detailed classes on the Army, Navy, the meeting to budget plans for the and Marine programs, next blennium. / Speaking for the Army, Fred E. Conrad advocated that one's attitude' plays a large part in one's advancement in the Army and he explained the opportunities offered by the Army for branching out and advancing. Lieut. Merle S. Kuder of the Navy explained the excellent college education now offered in V-5 and V-12. As the Marine representative, Captain Fred E. Chitty said the Marines are a smaller branch and more voluntary but they see more action and act as an international police force. To close the day's educational program, Dr. Arthur C. Hicks met with the boys who have no definite military plans and who may be able to attend college next fall. Recreation for the campus visitors was an afternoon swim in the college gymnasium pool. As a climax to the full day, a banquet was held in the dining room of Edens hall with the Bellingham high school pep .band inspiring, the music and the local high -school also furnishing ^he waitresses. The noon-luncheon had also been held in Edens hall. Throughout the day, WWC Valkyrie members guided the groups from one building to another and conducted them.on campus tours.,' 'Completely fascinating were the interpretations of the numbers for two harps played by Carlos and Marjorie Salzedo. Their delicacy of touch and coherent agility was remarkable. An aura of such music seems only possible when St. Peter opens the gates, and not when presented to the skeptical concert audiences of today. Harps Excellent Medium Debussy's much beloved "Claire-de- Lune" found the harps as an excellent medium. The mysticism of that French Impressionist evolves into a magnificent work that is as timeless as a rare jewel: Completing «the group was the "Spinning Wheel" of Mendelssohn. Domestic and homey, it projected a wholesome, practical and cheery atmosphere. Drittell's Technique Versatile' Three cello solos by Miss Drittell made up the third group of compositions— two Spanish numbers by Granados and Senaille and a Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt The first, an Intermezzo; was unusual in its tonal line. Miss Drittell's technique was versatile, but her tone was stilted and Held back.. As an encore, she played "The; Swan'*~by Saint Saens which was especially interesting when reinforced by the harp. As her only number, Mrs. Salzedo played the "Introduction and Allegro," by Ravel. There is always something very nostalgic and raptly diverse about good and careful impressionistic music. It is the hand of the infinite reaching out through time and space but never , quite finding what it is searching for and attaining only its exalted form —idealism. Here can be felt Ravel's revolt against too intellectual music and his ideas that music must come from the heart and that music must be beautiful. Mrs. Salzedo made a great deal of the interesting harp cadenza. Freeman Flute Master Miss Freeman in her flute solos, early displayed her complete mastery of the flute. Every tone was exact and her own animated person was reflected in her playing. Outstanding was her interpretation of the Air from "Orfeo" by Gluck. The genuine humor and expression of the composer was felt in the poetic themes. Leader Original The leader of the ensemble, Carlos Salzedo, played a group of his own composition on the harp. His style of composing shows his direct ' and observing nature. - He obtains effects that are effective and meant to be what they are. Mr. Salzedo-is original to the extent of being' unique—and in a sense a true realist. The harp to him is not an instrument for only the stero-typed harp music, but is a medium; to grasp modern ideas and effects." In his "Traipsin thru Arkansas" he displays the common folk tunes that have long been ignored in the modern concert hall, To this very fine group of musicians, credit must be given for presenting a program that is different and has enlarged the scope of music audiences. ---------- WWCollegian - 1944 April 14 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College.of Education,,Bellingham/Washington Friday, April 14; 1944 uM % ^ttH- e o ,^rV Pfffyn»«on^ Renegade Lower/ Enjoys VV DO Inspire Swingers rv T t^- .

HEIGHT OF COMPARISONS: She attracted as much attention as a footnote on a Varga Calendar . . . As of last Wednesday at 9:50 'a. m., Marilyn Anderson decided to go on a diet. One of the main •factors contributing to her sudden decision WAS a glass case in the Co-op. I guess you know that glass can stand just so .much pressure. . ! (Just .kiddin' Andy, I know you slipped.) I t ' a l l started with a simple little question worded like so; "What do you think of war marriages?" Most all the people I asked managed an "It depends . .

Doris Tedford: (with that faraway look) 'It's a wonderful idea." Haz Zagobin: "Marriage? What are that?" Wilhelmine Leiser (Mrs.) "Are you kiddin'? Marriage is a wonderful institution." Speaking of institutions, and by the way, I'm on my way—bye! YMCA ©roup Elect Haggard to Post • Local YMCA directors recently met and elected Dr. W. W. Haggard, WWC president, to serve as vice president of the organization. Daniel Campbell, head of the Astoria and Puget Sound Canning company, was elected president. During the same meeting, C. Er-win Lusby was re-elected treasurer and Milton A. Orphan secretary to the : board of directors. All new officers will serve one year. Inspire Swingers • "It don't mean a thing, if you ain't got that swing" is probably the best theme song for any golfer. If you are an ardent golf fan the following golf terms will help you become a model golfer, i.e.. Bobby Jones! They are really very simple (and you can say that again). Approach—What most girls do when they see a man. Birdie—Them which sing in the spring. Bogey-^A bad man, i.e. Humphrey. Club—A bid when playing Bridge. Dodo—One who isn't all there. Dormie—Where the girls live. Driver—A gal named Georgia. Eagle—The insignia on a colonel. Grip—What you get shaking hands. Press—Where a newspaper is print ed. Putt—The act of placing something. Rough—Not a bit ladylike. Tee—What you have to have for to drink. Little Mr. Fleasofca Really Takes Over • Whenever the WWCollegian room door swing open, it's usually one of the staff bustling in with a tip, or if might be a visitor, and sometimes it's just a curious person, but when it swung open early Tuesday morning, it was "Scrubbie," applying for a position on the WWCollegian staff. Scrubbie, a newcomer around school, just nosed his way in and proudly pranced right to the editor's desk. No Editor! Poor Scrubbie (whom some staff members insist on calling "Fleasota") just sat there looking rather forlorn. His attention however was halted momentarily by the radiator and he blinked his gray eyes and cocked his head. When the new self-made member tried to help the only reporter around, he was intent upon sitting right up to the desk and pawing the typewriter keys. Scrubbie, a little goodness - knows - what breed, tried his level best not to interfere, but his sleek wet nose was just too much for the busy worker. In order to accommodate the black pup with white-tipped paws and brown speckled, legs, the reluctant reporter took him down to the Student lounge. In power and glory, Ccubbie started chasing and barking at the scuffling feet that kept rhythm to the music. Then he playfully attacked the shoe strings and adopted the idea of pulling them. When the ardent spirit left the happy little pooch, he quietly subsided to a warm corner, curled his boney tail under him and closed his eyes. Earle Chosen Head • L.-*N. Earle, manager of the Student Co-op, has been appointed head of the Orthopedic Membership Drive which started April 10. The drive, an annual affair, turns its proceeds over to the ward at St. Joseph's Hospital. The new Sister Kenny treatment is now used on the children suffering from infantile paralysis who are under treatment at St. Joseph's. Banana Trees, Siestas Come In And See OUR NEW HUMMEL FIGURES STUDENT'S CO-OP • In the WWCollegian box last Monday morning was an air mail letter from a former student and prominent athlete of Bellingham and WWC, Norm Lowery, Y 3/c, now with the Seabees somewhere in New Guinea. The staff felt that the letter, which ran as follows, would be of interest to the many people who know Lowery as a friend or remember him as an aggressive basketball center. Norm Lowery Y 3/c 733-81-87 ". 113th N.C.B. Hdq. Co. , Navy 722 % F.P.O. San Francisco, Calif. To Whom It May Concern: " . "/ think that it is just about time that I wrote and thanked you for sending me the WWCollegian. It really comes in handy out here. There isn't much to do but look forward to the mail, so you can see that it really helps. Even the boys in the outfit who hadn't heard of Bellingham, Washington, or Western Washington College look forward to the paper and they wanted me to thank you for them. One kid from Chicago got so interested in the school that he sent away for a correspondence course from Western and he plans on going there after the war. (If it ever gets over.) "This is really the life. What more could a guy ask for? We have a siesta every afternoon (it says here) and the coconuts and bananas are free. Our tents are among the coconut trees, so every time we gel hungry we just send one of the boys up the tree for one, and. then we don't have to walk over to chow hall for supper.. The Women out here are beautiful, except that they are pretty well sunburned. It is hard to make any sense: They go crazy over our cigarettes and none of them has ever worn a pair of shoes, and I believe that very few of'them have ever seen a bar of soap. Nice companions. "I really got a thrill the other day. While listening, to a news broadcast from the radio station here in New Guinea, they mentioned the basketball tournament that was being held in Denver of Kansas City. I didn't pay much attention to it but I just about fell out of my chair when I heard Bellingham, Washington, mentioned. They said, 'Bellingham, Washington, with a six man team, the smallest in the tournament, beat the Peoria, Illinois, team.' You can imagine how I felt. I haven't heard any more about the tournament, but I imagine that the boys did pretty fair with Ludwick and Munizza on the team. They will be tough to beat with those boys playing. Say hello to them, will you? That is pretty good publicity for the big city, even a few of the Japs were listening to the program. "Well gang, or whoever it is, the news is getting rather slim so I guess that I will sign off for now. "Even if I can't be up there going to school with the gang, I am still a student through the mail. I hope that it won't be too long before this Utile fracas is over and we can all gel back together again, but for now, I wdl say aloha and thanks again for the paper, and please keep sending it to me." Slaphappy Studes Spring Feveriah "Studes never seem to get to classes 'Cause Spring is just the season, According to these lads and lasses, When kids just seem to lose all reason." Spring is just like a jack-in-the-box, now it's sprung, now it hasn't It is fun though, and the following people have become real brave and come through with a statement for t"Re press on "What I like about Spring." Rosemary Kirby—I can use my thermometer on the spring fever cases. Lucy Easton—I like to see all the purty pinafores and gingham dresses. Don Eldridge—It's light enough to see when I get up now! • Wilhelmine Leiser—'Cause I get more letters from my honey. Larry Munizza—Now I can take an 8 o'clock1 class from Miss Wend-ling (sigh). Mary Lee Heitrink—'Cause the girls all blossom forth with flowers "The same old renegade, 'Bones' Lowery." in their hair. Paul Foster—Those love games in tennis! (Aooooooh) ....Betty Anderson—Because now my man trap doesn't rust in the warm weather. Surgical Athletic Supplies DRUGS STATIONERY STAR Drug Co.

Pete was a number one back on the Vikings' squad for three years and proved to be one of the steadiest- performers ever to show in a Blue and White uniform. Prom the starting whistle 'till the final gun you could see his number walking through the line giving his mates a bit of encouragement. He was a real fighter. PeEll was Gudyka's home and he was also a great high school athlete for the PeEll high school. A navi- . gator-bombadier aboard a Plying Fortress, he had won the purple heart earlier this year and was back on duty just a short time be- .fore his name appeared on the missing list. We know that the entire student body and all his friends are hoping and praying that he will turn up in a war prisoner's, camp. Pete Cudyka gave them all he had to start with and never heard the bell SPRING SPORTS PROGRAM LAGS The intramural spring sports program is definitely lagging so far this quarter and something should be done about it as soon as possible. The male enrollment" is down this quarter but this does not have to put a damper on the program. As an example, last summer quarter there were only half a dozen men students on the campus but the students, both men and women, chipped in and put on a cracker-jack of a three team softball league. This showing should be an urge to make some of you students get on the wagon arid steer it into a lively sports program. WWC has as fine a setup as any,,- in the country when it comes to school activities. Students have access to a new and modern swimming pool, tennis" courts, golf course, archery field, and many more. Now with these things in mind and with the loss of spring .varsity sports, let's see if something can't be done about boosting up this program.

Cindermen Limber; Dack Fixes Track • George Dack, campus gardening expert has been busy this past week fixing up the sunken part of the cinder oval back of the gymnasium. Due to. washouts, the. track. cinders on the far end had sunk several feet making a very uneven surface for the boys to train on. The job requires several yards of foundation dirt to fill below the cinders. Coach Sam Carver has been get- i ting all of the weeds off the running surface and the track will be in tip-top shape for whatever track aspirants will be using it. Carver announced that there will be the possibility of several high school meets being held here. Those men who are turning out for track are: Larry Munizza, Bob Ross, Jerry Pells, Charles Pomeroy, Lowell Doud, and possibly a few new, faces will appear the first of next week. goers have certainly been getting a big eyeful of the fine skill in low board diving. The center of their attraction has been Paul Foster, who formerly held the state junior diving championship while •, swimming for the Cashmere, Washington swimming: club. Twenty-two separate-dives can be performed by Paul and each with a polished amount of skill. .. He first started diving at the early age of twelve and has been at it steady ever since except for two years when he .was in the hospital with a fractured skull after being beaned in a baseball. game. Foster is also an exceptional basketball and tennis player and is a better than average baseball and softball player. This past year he has been working in a shipyard in Tacoma flhd played on the championship soft-ball team for the city of Puyallup.

"All you gotta do," Miss Dahlgren went on, "is get your picture in the paper, relax and just wait.

Beginning with an 11 o'clock assembly in the college auditorium, ' the Coriference on Postwar Problems extended through the day with' college and community programs. It Mustn't Happen Again After being introduced by Dr. W. W. Haggard, C. Eden Quainton, chairman of the Northwest Commission to Study Peace, told the morning audience, "The great basic problem facing the world today is . to insure that another world war does not happen." He had pointed out that 'in postwar planning, absolute perfection is not possible soon. Although he scorned pessimism, Prof. Quainton felt that too much optimism meant disillusionment. He concluded his address, "Problems of Postwar Setttlement" „-J«4thJ^e_.sta,teine^ he realized was remote from the public's mind. He said, "If we are not able to produce a non-warring world, we will have to devote all our energey* to preparing for a third worlds war." "We Need To See Things In Color" "What To Do About It" was the topic of Linden A. Mander, professor of political science at the University of Washington, who attempted to answer Dr. Quainton's address for the assembly audience. Prof. Mander proposed the international inspection of civil airways. He cited the necessity for the reduction of mentaf strain. He realized "the need for the capacity to see things which are talked about in abstractions in color or personality." He emphatically told students that they should seek out every practical way to form groups, to write articles, and to write plays that will help make people understand' the principles of democracy. "Your own inventiveness and the determination to search and not give in is important," he declared. Tradition Not Adequate Following the assembly, a luncheon presided over by Victor H. Hoppe of the WWC speech department, was held in Edens hall. General secretary of the Seattle YMCA, Wesley F. Rennie, was the luncheon speaker and presented, "New Directions for American Policy." . Mr. Rennie clarified the fact that in a postwar situation, tradition would not be adequate. He felt that it would be inadequate to rely upon balance of power. With obvious study as a background, Mr. Rennie clearly outlined a policy. His first point was the participation of the U. S. in an inclusive world organization. The second was that this organization should have the power to prevent aggressive war and to. bring about peaceful changes. The machinery ^behind this system would be an v XCkmtinued on Page Pour) Campus Day Heads Decide Lakewood Trek Impossible This Year • "Because of the transportation shortages, the annual Campus Day celebration will have to be held on the campus," Don Eldridge, chairman of the event, announced after the first meeting with co-workers. With May 10 as the date set, the following committees have begun work for the day: publicity, Cale Campbell; assembly, Margaret Moyer; work program, Herb Witt; lunch, Margaret Richards; dance, Virginia Sorgen-frei; sports, Larry Munizza; sanitary engineer, Roy Wark; stunts, Mary Louise Burke; and tickets, Kathy Ashe. In other: years the event has been held at Lakewood, but the chairman believes any arrangement of this nature to be impossible this year. Schuberg Awarded Service Honors Second Lieutenant John A. ~Scluibergr —.who -last attended. Western Washington College in 194.1 prior to his entrance into _the Army Air Force, has recently been awarded the Air Medal and an Oak Leaf Cluster for exceptional meritorious achievement while participating in ten separate combat missions over continental Europe. The lieutenant was commissioned July 10, 1943, after completion of navigation training at Mather Field, Calif He received his overseas pre-combat training at Great Falls, Montana. Schuberg was a transfer to WWC from Washington State College. ' r Guest Artist Bushell Soloist, Conductor • Don Bushell, member of WW CE"s faculty, was guest artist and conductor for the Bremerton Symphony orchestra last Monday. For his cello solo, Bushell with complete artistry played the "Variations on a Rococo Theme" by Tschaikowsky. Making a big hit as guest conductor, he conducted the "Egmont Overture" by Beethoven. The regular conductor, Walter C. Welke, usually conducts the orchestra, which is made up of local musicians and some army and navy men. One of the-horn players was a soldier from Fort Lawton. The night of the performance the admiral of a ship gave a party and two navy oboe players were unable to perform. In their place two oboe players came from Seattle and Mr. Bushell rehearsed them alone the afternoon of the performance. AWS Sponsor Sports Party • Badminton, swimming, and folk dancing will be featured at the AWS party for all the women students in the gymnasium a week from today, April 28.

Collegian Receives First Class Rate • Rating the WWCollegian as first-class compared to all other national college papers of its size, a certificate of award was in the Collegian mailbox last week as evidence that the All-American Newspaper Critical Service considered last year's paper "excellent." Editor Pat Scott mad recently entered the WWCollegian editions of the winter quarter of 1943-1944. The certificate, sent by the Associated Collegiate Press of N. S.P. A., is on display in the publications office. As the accompanying letter stated, "The WWCollegian staff has every right to be proud of their achievement." Artists' Part in War Discussed at Meet • Even artists have their part in the war effort, and this, along with postwar art plans will be a keynote discussion 'when the, Washington Artists Association holds . their annual convention in Seattle this week-end. Miss Hazel Plympton and. Miss Hazel Breakey, art instructors of WWC, will attend toe convention which is being held at the University of Washington. Miss Plympton, vice president of the.

Other members of the class who are responsible for the script are Lucille Bovee, editor; Jean Knud-sen, Cale Campbell, Betty Herr, and Evelyn • Mott. John Germain will act as technician. Strange Interview Puzzles Pianist • Examining a fingernail, broken during his brilliant performance in Jast -^Tuesday's ^assembly, Xamar Crowson, noted young pianist jokingly declared it would take more than a manicure to fix it. Rapidly continuing, the tall lanky seventeen-year-old pianist said that at Reed college he is studying history, which is boring; literature, which is more boring; and Russian, which is very hard. He also takes P. E. and likes to swim. When asked if he had any extra-curricular activities he quickly answered, "Why yes—music!" At this point he assumed a rather puzzled expression, remarking that the interview was not running according to the usual form. It seems always he was asked first—"What is your favorite composer?" and second, "What do you consider your greatest thrill?" Laughingly he answered his own question and said that he felt one shouldn't have a favorite composer because then you wouldn't do justice to the others. Displaying a continuous friendly smile, Crowson explained that it was very hard to find time to practice and usually he did so at the expense of his school work. He quickly added, "They're very nice to me about it though." Last Deadline Met; Klipsun Complete • "The Klipsun has finally started on towards the finished road," stated editor Lorraine McConnell "when the deadline for turning in the copy was met."

Many of the women athietes are showing plenty of ability when it comes to socking that old. "iPuloti." For some real excitement you'students should all come out Tuesday evening and see the teams in action. ' • The Cubby Hole by cale Campbell SAM, THE MIRACLE MAN-Formany years now, the name Carver has been a headliner in the sports wortd around Bellingham, WWC, and the Northwest for his outstanding athletic squads. High point in Sam Carver's reign has been his championship golf teams that have walked home with the Wmco silver for the past ten years straight. i Sam started out at Western Washihgtdn by being head tutor of all major sports and organizer of the school's intramural program. He has been a hard and consistent worker and he can always be depended on for his help and guidance in all student affairs. As a track coach, Sam Is a hard man to top in the teaching of fundamentals. He has turned out many good cinder standouts and among the best is former world two-mile record holder, Norman Bright. Carver can be seen any day in the spring either out on the track clocking his men or out on the Lakeway greens showing his divot diggers how to make an approach or a rough shot. Coach Carver is known as a builder of character and honesty and is truly a great sports figure and man. • • ' . ' • ' •' WWC BOASTS MANY GOOD FEMALE ATHLETES Georgia Driver leads the parade for her all-around athletic ability as she has many events that she can perform amply well. Among- her top ate Softball and basketball as she is outstanding in both. Crystal Ackerman, the school's number one swimming star, is another very talented person in the field of athletics. Criss made a big name for herself in the last year's swimming meet by helping to break a couple of records and forcing Ruth Lauber to swim a record smashing backstroke race to beat her. Vincella Zanich, an all-league choice in last summer's mixed intramural softball circuit, is also a leader in the competitive sports program for women. She hustles no matter what the event is or how, far her team is behind. Alice Marie Anderson, number one moundsman in the women's softball program, is a real competitor in any sport. Frances Benson, a junior transfer from the University, has been a big help to any of the girl's teams :she has performed on... Softballers, take a warning this girl knows her oats. Iris Bowden, the general manager for the WRA, is a' pace setter in her own right and won't take a back seat from, anyone. Jean Elaine Mulvaney, .' last year's womens tennis champion and for two years holder of the city crown, is another Miss Tops in the athletic realm. Emily Gilmore, a girl that is little heard of because of her strenuous chemistry course, will give any of those women diving and swimming standouts some real competition. Pat Scott, this year's editor, proves to be a girl with many talents! Pat is noble competition in any class on the tennis court. Rachel Blekkink was a ball of fire in the women's basketball league and is a likely repeater in the softball circuit. Barbara Caldwell is another top ranker who has made consistent showings in all branches of women's athletics. Merrie Virginia Erlandson and Amy Jean Allen are two lassies who show ; some sweet diving technique on the low board in the college pool. Very few schools can boast a Womens athletic program on as \iigh a t: lt;oa^y^i^i}ud; of WWC and it is one in a moon that toill hai)e so many rUipmngers. ••'••;• Emily Gilmore Talented Gal • Quiet, studious, attractive, and athletically inclined is a good description of the week's number one sports figure, Emily Gilmore. Transfering from Washington State college where she studied last year, Emily has found her way to the top of the pile for outstanding ability in athletics. Majoring in science, she finds little time to compete in the majority of activities. Miss Gilmore, who is ranked as one of the topnotchers in the swimming spotlight on the campus, will be out to show her wares in the coming swimming carnival sponsored by the women students on May 22. Her diving ability is close to excellent and with a little practice, would be able to stand in with the best in the field. She is also a better than fair badminton and basketball player and is seen frequently participating in both. Emily graduated from the local high school where she also made quite a name for herself both academically and athletically. Competition Scarce; Nefcmen Work • The College tennis courts have been keeping pretty busy lately with a few of the far between varsity tennis players limbering up. v Coach Lappenbusch has no definite plans on how he will get the boys any competition, but in the meantime he will let them play among themselves. For the first time in the school's history, WWC has women turning out for a varsity sport. They are Jean Elaine Mulvaney and Patt Scott. Those men performers looking good are Dale Burklund, Paul Poster .and Chuck Pomeroy. Former ASB Prexy Writes Barron • Word came from the South Pacific recently to Dec Barron, ASB prexy, in the form of a postcard , from Frank Shiers, WWC student body president during the 1940 to 1941 term. Shiers, an enthusiastic promoter of student affairs while in college, also was a member of the Scholastic society. The message, which referred to the Christmas letters sent to servicemen by the Valkyrie club, ran as follows: "Dear Dec, * ' SCOOP!!! Tuesday, May 25, brings up the curtain on the mixed- softball loop and promises - to uncover. many good women athletes. The games are scheduled to start at 4 p. m. and will be played on Tuesday bight only. Each team will be co-captained by a man and woman athlete. Teams will be lined up for the' games and all students wishing to preform see Miss Virginia Hawke or Sam Carver.

(Continued from Page One) international police force and a world court of justice., His final-point was, ^'This world organization should adopt positive measures to improve the economic conditions of the peoples of the earth." Although he limited himself to these three points during his noon speech, Mr. Rennie revealed later in the afternoon a fourth idea which he feels is equally important. He suggests that the United Nations draw up a bill of rights which will apply to the backward and colonial peoples of small nations. Round Table Discussion Lively The Campus school auditorium was the scene of nods of approval and signs of disagreement when a round table discussion commenced later in the afternoon. After giving a general introduction, a summary of the morning addresses and an indication of the problems involved in the discussion to follow, E. J. Arntzen, WWC history professor started firing questions. Those at the answering and discussion end of the meeting were participants, Mr. Rennie, Arthur C. Hicks, WWC registrar; Willard S. Oates, assistant manager of the Bellingham branch of the , Seattle National Bank of Commerce, and the Rev. Russell Bisnett of the local First Presbyterian church. Consider Present and Future , During their hour and a half, the group attempted to cover the .. immediate postwar., situation or the problems of a peace settlement. They also considered the long range problems to be,dealt with in building an enduring peace. They included economic and social, the political and international found-dation of peace. . The group was asked for some of the principles of procedure in arriving at a just peace and also for some mistakes to be avoided. Dr. Hicks brought out that the weakness of League of Nations was its lack of an organization to carry out the objectives of the League. Mr. Rennie brought to attention the dangers during this time when we will have the question of policy before us. Mr. Oates pointed out the fact that the quickest organization we have today is war. Numerous ideas evolved when the participants faced the question, "What penalties should be imposed upon the vanquished Axis nations?" Dr. Hicks forwarded an enthusiastic demand for justice to be pronounced upon Axis criminal. And then, touching upon relief and rehabilitation, the Rev. Bisnett felt that no food for reparations should be moved immediately from a : starving1 Germany, for instance, to Russia. If the people there needed ifood, he said that it should be kept within that nation. Mr. Oates suggested, "If we want immediate reparations and no starvation, give .Russia a part of Germany." In regard to the food, situation, Mr. Rennie believed that through defeat, the people will have suffered enough. He upholds* that "restoration of land is good even to the. point of starvation." As a fitting finale to the discussion, the Rev. Bisnett said, "If ' we can, in the first six months after the war, impress upon the peopie : of the defeated nations, our good will and our lack of hatred, we will have taken the first important step toward peace." But the group ; concluded their most heated discussion with unanimous agreement that the* relief and rehabilitation situation is hard to settle now as illustrated by the point that where starvation exists now does not give a true picture of what conditions - will be in the future. The group seemed to agree that the United States should continually concentrate on being sympathetic with democratic regimes. Kid Stuff, Pigtails Fashion at Edens; Raganites Seek Phonograph Daisy Falls Hard "Playmate, come and play with me"—kids and kid stuff has been the epidemic at Edens this week- Daisy Ann really fell for that little campus school shiek. Why did it have to be down the front steps though, Daisy? In a hurry to return to his big little books, no doubt, .'airing Brings Blossoms "School days, school days, readin,' writin' and 'rithmetic" seems to be the theme suggested by the sudden blossoming of pigtails and cotton dresses. Jean Griffith gets the "A" this week for pigtails—cotton queens are Patsy Jacobsen and Amy Jean Allen.

Additional Degrees Discussed On Friday night and Saturday, Dr. Haggard went to a joint meeting of the trustees and presidents of the three state colleges of education. According to Dr. Haggard, the number one discussion of the meeting was the proposal that the colleges seek authority from the legislature to grant general B. A. degrees in addition to the professional degree. Finance, and the budget for the next biennium, '45-'46, were also problems confronting the group. Their next meeting is set for sometime in July.

Black Market Ruthie Having a snappy time are two more Raganites who have located 2 rolls of film by some underhanded methods. Is if a miltary secret, Ruth? Woman of the Week • In the spotlight this week is the "gavel gal" of the freshman class who, with the class president gone to war, has been drafted, as vice-president, to hold the wooden stick for the rest of the year. With a mania for cutting the top of her hair, our woman of the week has a flair for studying and, speaking of flares, is a frequent master of the dance in the student lounge. A songstress, she made her debut at WWC in a women's trio and also sang with Nils Boson's choir in a recent assembly. Often seen wearing shoes without stockings, she maintains her high grade-point with no harm to her original sense-of-humor. The Bellingham freshman is described by her pal Zosh as a "good Joe" only her name is "Andy"—Betty Lou Anderson to the faculty. Dec Resigns Fourth Term; ACE Elects • New Officers for ACE were elected when the club met last Thursday in the Campus school. Glennis Sundberg was elected president; Ruby Strobel, vice-president; Elerine Shannon, secretary; Mary Louise Burke, treasurer; and Peggy Custer in charge of publicity. Short talks were given by students who visited classrooms of the city schools recently. • Dale Burkland and Peggy Custer, freshmen, will be the speakers at the regular meeting of Vanadis Bragi, Monday Aprils 24. . Burkland will discuss "the Autobiography of Lincoln Steffens," and Miss Custer will give a brief review of another of Steffen's writings, "Shame of the Cities." According to Declan Barron, president of the club for the last 3 years, election of officers will be held at this meeting. Barron concluded with the statement, "I definitely will not run for a fourth term!"

Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, April 28, 1944 \om Wk ebe 0 giant (with the editor) -Here's a, tribute to the AWS for sending WWCollegians to the boys in the service. Judging from the thanks and requests 'that flood ,into the: WWCollegian box from week, to week, the boys over here and over there sincerely appreciate it. i rS NOT ALL FUN And here's hats off to the staff members who've finished available newswriting classes and are donating their time gratis to helping out; a short handed staff. Surely they enjoy journalism, or they wouldn't be doing writing as a sideline. But it's not too far fetched to class them as war workers when one reads a letter from one of those former students now serving Uncle Sam. If it weren't for the AWS committee scraping around for money-making schemes to keep up their Collegian-sending project or if there weren't students willing to devote, ;spare time to writing up what's new around the college, •it is possible that the link between %$ner students and their college eiys would be severed.' EVEN NEW GUINEA HEARS ABOUT US . • When, one read; in the last edition iof the WWCollegian messages from two. former students, it was obvious from what they said that through the paper, we're not only keeping that link whole, but perhaps we're even adding .another: Yes, we mean like that encouraging epistle from out SMew Guinea way from Yeoman Norm Lowery that was printed in last week's edition—comes in handy out there where-there's not much to look forward to/he says—and then his surprising statement that other boys in the outfit look forward to the WWCollegian also . boys to whom Bellingham is a new word in their vocabulary and* wWC's a new place on the collegiate map. And to think that 'delivery, not thrown on a- doorstep, -but moreover made by way of salt water to the flap of a lt;• .tent set up under a banana tree caused one lad to • become one of our students . . . via a cor- . respondence' cou rse. . And Norm urges us to.keep sending it so he can at least remain a student through the mail. MARINES AWAIT, NEWS, TOO But I guess we'll get over being surprised at alums' buddies enjoying the paper too. There is .^former ASB prexy Jim Junkin's note of thanks which also appeared in that edition He and likewise his Marine pals in the South'Pacific look forward to news from)/yWC. And then several months ago, from Pfc. Dale Jacobs, now, Corporal Jacobs, camp; a dollar . through the mail. Another student of last year, :pon. Brown, now •in the army; '^ad^ sent Jake a •^WWCollegian he'd-received var)d |Jake got the' ;ideai that he'd like -to be on that: mailing :list top. - ^ To prove/thatva. different- en WM%W:- -tvi^pnrnent^ and •;: even ^graduation; Chairman Sundberg Guides Grad Tea, •Under AWS sponsorship, general chairman Glennis Sundberg and her committees have been planning the annual graduation tea' for next Thursday afternoon. In the Edens Hall Blue room from 3:30 until 5:00, tea will be served to graduates, house mothers, faculty women and faculty wives. Undergraduates will model pastel dresses, suits, dark dresses, formals and graduation gowns during the traditional fashion show. Committee heads working under Miss Sundberg on the springtime event are: fashion show, Mary Louise Burke; publicity, Lorna Jean Booras; invitations, Marilyn Turner; serving, Jean Griffith; decorations, Mildred Spromberg. Association Backs Scholarships • The Alumni association has again cancelled its annual ban- • quet. Last year because of transportation difficulties, it was called off and again this must be done. However, all members are urged to pay their dues so that the fund for high school scholarships can be continued.. .- - Neal, Mulvaney, M¥rr Show Will Power • "Suppressed Desires," a one-act play written by Susan Glaspell, Pulitzer prize winner, will be presented in assembly next Tuesday at 11 a. m. The plot involves three characters, Stephen Brewster, his wife, Henrietta, and her sister, Mabel, and centers on the interest of Henrietta in psychoanalysis. Stephen Brewster is played by Don Neal, junior; Henrietta Brewster by Jean Elaine Mulvaney, sophomore; and Mabel by Betty Herr, freshman. Holbrook Requests Postwar Position • Doing his part in postwar planning, A.O.M. jl/c Prank Holbrook wistfully applied for his old position as business manager of the WWCollegian in a recent letter to Mrs. Ruth Burnet, publications adviser. Holbrook states that he has received the WWCollegian regularly for two years, no matter where he was stationed. He is on a "lucky ship" now in the South Pacific and intends to return to WWC to graduate.as soon as the, war^is won. Sivertson Maps Lounge Plans • "Down mit de Germans, during my term of office," declared tall Gene Sivertson, new Student lounge head, Tuesday when he laid out the program that the lounge will follow this quarter. Frequently blinking those Nordic blue eyes, Sivertson went on in a low-voiced fashion, "We've got a lot of ideas for the lounge. But first of all, it's going to be kept as clean as * possible, so please take the hint, fellahs and return those empty coke bottles to the Co-op. "Right now we're working for Wanted: People willing to buy and sell war stamps in the new booth every Friday from 10 until 2. As for the salesmen's qualifications, a ready smile and patriotic heart fill the bill. Are you interested? Then go right along to the booth and make arrangements now. Libe Labor Shortage Changes Hours • Library alterations have been made due to the lack of help. However the hours will remain the same: Monday to Friday (inclusive), 8:30 a. m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Thursday (inclusive) 7 p. m. to 9:30 p. m. and Saturday and Sung^, day, 2 p. m. to 6 p. m: ,— The ^circulation desk will be open at the above hours Monday and Wednesday evenings only. For adjustments in library work, students win tiavtf to plan enough in advance to~secure^material, according,to the ;iate;;$b*^ new ping pong equipment, cards, and anything that will benefit the lounge in a general way." Although Sivertson has attended WWC for two quarters only, he made a name for nimself as one of the big five on the basketball squad before he was chosen to manage the lounge. "With faculty cooperation... and everyone cooperating, we'll be sure to have a better lounge than ever before!" he concluded as he smiled and continued on his way to the library. Exams Encourage Future Teachers • Terminal exams were given last Thursday and Friday to the students, who have completed their basic requirements and are planning on entering student teaching sometime nexf year. The purpose of the exam is to encourage the student to look at his education on a wide scale, and not in small chunks. They are der signed to take the emphasis off the freshmen year, when the student is just getting used to college, according to Dr. Lucy Kangley, chairman of the exam committee. * i f ^ « ^ t e k i n g the tests were: Crystal Ackerman, Joyce Ackley, Alice Marie Anderson, Iris Bowden, Mary Louise Burke, Harriet Clow, Lura Davis, Frank German, Martha Graves, Donna Harmon, Edyth Jackson, Margaret Johnson, Wilma, Lambert, Ruth Mclnnes, Mary Agnes McLeod, Ethel Martiiison, Evelyn Mott, Zosia Nbwogroski, Margaret Robinson, Carrol Simmonds; Virginia Sorgenfrei, M^^ce^ Spati-deli, Mildred Spromberg^iyaloe SttUr; ; maiii andDoris ^bEOTid, ^j Whatcom Falls Park This Year's Campus Day Destination; " V - - ^M Skit Assembly, lunch. Contests, Evening Rec On Tap By LUCILLE BQVEE "We can't do it," sighed one of the freshmen boys as he gently stroked-his chin. That's the reason in a nutshell why there will be no annual; beard growing contest before Campus Day arrives this year. On the Monday preceding Campus Day/festivities will begin with the studes following the laws set forth by the ruling committeemen. "Be prepared" is their warning to the members of WWC, as rthe appointed group completes plans for the all-school play day.

Plympton, Breakey Return From Meet • After attending the National Washington Artists convention in Seattle this past weekend, Miss Hazel Plympton and Miss Hazel Breakey are telling their students that "crusaders" are.needed to solve the art problems of this state. "Students do not take enough* art in their college courses," they emphasized, "and thus when they go out to teach they substitute other courses rather than inadequately teach art." Barron Declares; Movie Great • "The Battlefront of Russia," a movie, was shown to interested faculty members and students last Frir day at 3 o'clock.

RUTH BURNER J± JPublications Adviser Slanderella Solves Love Problems; Solutions Simple • Behind locked doors, WWC hearts are breaking as easily as soda crackers; in the halls the students are roaming as puzzled as jigsaws; and a few girls, fictional as it may sound, have found a man and want to know how to handle him. So,-by request of the letters which flood the WWCollegian mailbox daily, jerking the staff to tears with their tales of heartbreak, a new staff member has been hired. Having had past experience with True Confessions, Slanderella comes to WWC to advise the lovelorn and personally solve their problems. —I recently received a necklace from a serviceman overseas. Do you think it would lower his morale to tell him it broke? Patsy Jacobsen. Poor Patsy—I suggest you just string along for awhile. Cordially, Slanderella. oiit Uah (Continued from Page One) terest in what's happening now . at their alma mater, there was • the letter from Lt. Maurice B. McClellan '41;''' Now in the physical training department at an army air field in New Mexico, he writes, "I am still very much Interested in happenings at school. My present job is keeping me from attending college, but I plan tor pick up where I left off when this is all over. In the meantime, I would like to subscribe to the.school paper." Just before Christmas, A/S . Bill L Krueger, former • WWC tennis ace, wrote from California and said thanks a lot to whoever'd been sending him the WWCollegian. When last heard from. Pvt. Bill Matson was in Camp Cooke, Calif., but aboyt six months ago when he f i rst received the WWCollegian, he wrote that although he only happened to know a couple of the people mentioned, it was, sure nice to get the paper. Another former stude, Ensign John Miller, who recently graduated from Columbia University, also writes'his thanks for the WWC weekly. He adds that, it comes faithfully after every Fri- •••' "day. :;. - .'".;•' ;• ;.' . KEEP ^EM COMING! And when the boys move, (and those servicemen in training certainly keep hopping), they im-medial any changes in address. One of these prompt notification, a letter from Pvt.

I still have them too." And then he added, "I don't want to miss an edition of the WWCollegian. It's the only link between me and my good old civilian days." Then there was another boy, Pfc John Dorcy, now overseas, who wrote emphatically not long ago. •"Thanks a lot for the WWCollegian Keep 'em cpming!

Mrs. Follis dropped in to say adieu to her friends as she is leaving soon to join her husband who is a Lieutenant in the Army Air corps. In case you didn't know before, I'd like to bring this matter to your attention...ROY WARK has been appointed "sanitary engineer" for campus day. Just what is included in your duties, "Curly"? Lorna Jean Booras was an unwilling listener to a joke (I question that!) about the Seabees (Hi, Norm!) Lorna didn't exactly get "stung" but... BANGIN' EARS YOU SAY? Virginia Sorgenfrei has been working in pretty reasonable with Army "oc-cifers" lately. Just the other day she had dinner with a Lieutenant Colonel. Not bad.. not bad at all. And here some of us (not me, of course!!) would be satisfied with an apprentice seaman—and not in the WAVES, either!! ! Helen Rabb of "Oceana Roll" fame couldn't stay away from the Campus (campus?) any longer so she : breezed- back last ^week-end-to: give us a thrill.

No. Overexposure? No. Incorrect focus? No. (note how I'm showing off just 'cause I'm taking Photography. I know that stuff!!!) But. to get back to all this excitement about Jeanne, she has a WAC girl friend. That should explain things, I think. "Tess's Torch Song" has become Lorraine Pickering's theme song.

And. lo and behold the summer garb for men and women on the beaches took on a native effect with cloth trunks and sarongs for, swimming. For a corker, the latest is flowers in the hair and wooden jewelry. Duane Walter thinks flowers in the hair look plenty sharp. "But with the fuel shortage, they should wear wood?" ' Alfred "Cupie" Clement grins to place his well-worded phrase that, (quote) Flowers add to the feminity of a woman. They are so delicate, beautiful, and fragile: So picturesque and romantic! (unquote). "Wooden jewelry? Around the Neck? Repulsive. Next thing they'll be sticking rings in their noses!" gruffly remarked "Heinle Haircut" Pells. Betty Fisher thinks they are OK but all Herb Witt could mumble was Hmmmmmmmmm!. Flossie Swenson smiled to express that flowers add liveliness and gaiety. "Sure I like flowers in the hair," scowled Don Eldridge, "just so they take 'em out of'the pots." Declan Barron believes they add glamour. Marge Thompson says "they are nice." But all Roy Wark could say, was, "Pheep, pheep!" Ah, well! Everyone to his own opinion.

Although one of the favorites, Foster's Bronc Busters didn't fare very well against the steady pitch* ing of big Gene Sivertson. Foster himself made a good showing however by driving out two hits for two times up. Chuck Pomeroy made the catch of the opener by dragging down a terrific Wow from Bond's stick. Iris Bowden and Barbara Caldwell played fine ball for their respective teams. Jim Cilday will be playing short Jor the Bells this Sunday in the opener—Norm Bright failed to place , in the Boston marathon— This Benson gal is the girl to watch' swim in the coming meet— Paid Foster is a plenty smooth fielder and one of the league's best hitters—Warren Lambert can play any position on a softball team and wetl to boot—5am Carver has got his track in tip-top shape now and it will see plenty of action on May 4 when the county high schools hold their annual meet on the hill here—Art ^Miller is getting ready to bring home some more of the lawn bowling trophies this summer —Art is one of the printers who puts out this scandal sheet and he is also one of the best bowlers on the CoasL CAMPUS DAY Many forms of entertainment will be in "store for you Campus day goers on the tenth of May with the college shooting the works in the line of sports.

HEBE AND THERE Earl Nordvedt, a WWC student this fall and in the V-12 program down at the UW is playing first team short for the Huskies baseball team—42ail Bishop the All Ameri-j-' can basketball player will be play- Lambert Proven Sportsman • Nooksack Valley has been the home of many WWC athletes and this year another has stepped into our realm as a topflight performer in the sports world, Warren Lambert. Warren has been very active in intramural all year here on the campus and is a fine participant in all branches. Basketball is at the top rung of his sports ladder. Last season, although only working out with the varsity for a short time, he proved to be a good promise to Lappy for the next few seasons of competition. Athletics seem to run in the Lambert family as his father coached the Nooksack Valley high to a county championship this past sea-. son. In high school Warren was active in basketball and baseball. He does a better than average job on the golf links and shows up well on the tennis court. The Bronco Busters have a tower of strength in having Mr. Warren Lambert's name on their roster in the softball league. With the WRA ... BLUE BARNACLES Sounds of shrieks and laughter along with plenty of "oooohs," were heard when the Blue Barnacles entertained the Bellingham high gals last Monday. Although, there was a small representation from the high school, those there really enjoyed themselves. Congratulations are in order for all the committee members who made this affair a success. Every member of the Blue Barnacles club is still working laboriously for the day of that big event—the swimming meet. Don't forget— anyone entering in the meet please (Continued on Page Four) ' ing for the Bells this summer- Herb Witt is the power slugger to watch in action this next Tuesday when the Mad Ghouls go in action against the Windjammers- Larry Munizza is the best softball player yours truly has ever laid his eyes on—Sivertson surely came up with a timely hit in the Tues-da affair—Don Neal should give the Madmen a lot of power at the plate as he has been one of the leagues leading hitters the past couple of seasons. Something New ; A ^iThese are the kind of scenes that you wi 11 see on the tennis courts | "sftxipp is having to depend on a few of the women to give his varsity \f.meftiisorne'work -with the manpower shortage in tapi on the campus FLASH! All you sports fans, dont forget the big softball game that is on tap at 4 p. m. on Tuesday between Burkland's Mad Ghouls and Sivertson's Windjammers. This contest promises to be a real thriller- with both teams looking for that number one spot in the league.' The batteries are not at all definite up to this point but from all indications it will be Larry Munizza and Herb Witt for the Madmen, with Sivertson and Johnson for the Jammers. Track • Sam Carver has been very unsuccessful in lining up competition for his track men this year but is. planning an all school decathlon for later on in the spring with some of the boys entering all events. The Whatcom county high school meet will be held on the campus Thursday^, May 4. The track is in good shape as George Dack and his men have been building up one end and rolling the running surface. Sivertson Throws Steady J3all;| Game Goes Extra Innings I Both Teams Played Fine and Steady Ball the Whole Route; Contest Is Listed As An Upset According to Pre-Game Dope By DALE BURKLUND Led by the hitting and pitching of Gene "Shorty" Sivertson, the Windjammers crashed through to victory over the Bronc Busters in the first contest of the new mixed intramural softball program...The battle went two extra innings before "Seve" bit the triple down the right field line that started the two run uprising in the seventh inning. Trying" to nip Sivertson at third, Ernie Ludwick threw the ball away, allowing the Windjammer pitcher to score. This was only the beginning of trouble for Ludwick, the Bronc Buster hurler, as after getting one man to ground out, Seegar the second sacker for the 'jammers singled between third and short! He was advanced to third on Barnett's single into right field, and scored"on Pomeroy's base blow over second. Ludwick then settled down to get Goff on a pop fly and fan Driver. -; The game scheduled for five innings was a pitcher's battle with the score 2 to 2 at the end of the last canto. Doud, the Bronc's first chucker, held the 'jammers in check through the five innings allowing only five bingos. However, Sivertson going the whole distance for the Windjammers allowed only five hits in seven innings, while he and his teammates were jumping Ludwick, the Buster's second pitcher, for four safeties in the last two frames.

Pearson, of Everett, who last attended WWC in 1940, disclosed a story of outstanding heroism in battle. The award was made for Sgt. Pearson's actions during the drive on Munda air field, New Georgia. Pearson was,badly wounded when a Japanese trench mortar shell exploded in his infantry company's command post, but he stifled outcries that would have given away the post's position. He concealed his wounds to give full benefit of available medical treatment to two other injured men with him and, after bandaging one of them, took over sentry duty. . The citation reported that for almost two hours after he was wounded, he fought off persistent enemy counterattacks, one of which was repulsed only six feet from the command post. , Knapman's Classes Inspect Pulp Mill : • Chemistry and physics classes of Fred Knapman were conducted through the local pulp mill last ^Wednesday morning. Each phase of the process was described by Sidney Collier, superintendent of the sulphite plant.

The house party, -which seems to have become a quarterly affair, got off to a good start with a wiener and marsh-mallow roast on the banks of the Skagit River. Elerine Shannon and Ruth felt strictly stiff after holding up a certain party and-we-wont-mention-names, at the Burlington roller rink. Losing her purse oh the, bus trip back home, Marjory Moll denounced crime for the rest of the day, until the Herald office phoned to report her purse had been turned in there. EDENS PEELINGS BY SPUD • Just call us versatile. Yep, 'cause the name shore 'nuff fits Edens. In one way or another, June20 Starts New Quarter • According to the summer bulletin which is now available in the registrar's office, students will find a considerable range of courses offered for summer quarter, 1944. Classes will begin on Tuesday, June 20, with the quarter divided into two terms of four and one-half weeks each. Class periods will be extended from fifty to sixty minutes, thus permitting approximately as much recitation time in four and one-half weeks as previously allowed in six weeks. Aside from class studies, a recreational program has been planned that includes hiking, boating, archery, badminton, swimming and golf. From the president's office comes the report that an excellent program of lectures, vocal and instrumental music and dramatic performances has been arranged for the regular student assemblies which which meet on Tuesday and Friday AWS Panel Visits Two High Schools •With Zosia Nowogroski as chairman, an AWS panel composed of Mary Louise Burke, Harriett Clow, and Rachel Blekkink, visited Sedro- Wbolley high school Tuesday, April 25, and presented a panel discussion before the girls club. "The girls were very cooperative and wonderful hostesses," said Chairman Nowogroski. The same group visited Marysville high school in the afternoon of the same day and- presented the panel there. Next Wednesday the same discussion will be given before the girls' club of Mt. Baker high school at^Deming. everyone took advantage of ole Sol last Saturday. Burke and Sinnett jaunted along on their nags. By the red faces (sunburned) faces we see around, it's easy to surmise that Ann, Gen, Zosh, Louise, Jettie, and Donna traveled via the mail boat. Then, too, the faithful WRA'ers, Ama,. Daisy, Thelma, Rach, and Lucille treked out to Whatcom Falls. "Oceana" Rabb back at Edens for the weekend, almost missed the boat by being late for her birthday party Saturday night, but she sure was surprised when the candled cake and "Happy Birthday" came forth. "Just practical, that's us," laughed the Hochsheid sisters as they hooked more sugar lumps from the dining room to feed those two horses not very far away. Could be that they have hopes of riding 'em in the near future. "Come one—come all to the auction at Edens hall." It seems as though Amy Jean Allen and Virginia Pendleton have some pictures of a certain trio they're trying to get rid of. (Well, now how did that preposition get at the end up there?) Woman of the Week "Tall, dark, and good-looking" isn't a "he" but is a "she"; is, as a matter of fact, our woman of the week. "So are a dozen others" you say, but this one holds a mythical honor as a champ chairman of not one, but innumerable committees this yaer. Her current feat is the Campus Day^ evening entertainment, proof of her past unacclaimed works are the Homecoming banquet and the Mardi Gras, not forgetting that she js a Board of Control member, a Valk officer, and one of the, rulers at Edens hall. It may sound like-she works all the time, but actually she sleeps most of the time. Cramming her studies in between naps, she is a diploma student getting set to finish a four-year course in three via summer, school. She has a brother and that ain't all, for' the diamond on her left hand stands for a little (6'l") medical man who's now vacationing as an Army officer in New Guinea'. Besides him, she is interested in art and adorns her Edens room with original copies of water colors. She insists .flowers are her favorite food, but she might survive on eclairs. ' Her roommate calls her "Slug-, enfrei," the gals call her "Virgie," her fiance calls her Virginia. Qh, yes, the last name is Sorgenfrei. The Simple Life The rigors of rationing are reducing our pleasures to the simplest form. gt; Now, there is not even Ice Cream for picnics, for after the dealer receives his 65% allotment/there just isn't any left WHATCOM COUNTY DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION Phone 314 BELLINGHAM LYNDEN Campus Pleases Author Fisher By PEGGY CUSTER • "This campus can't be beat," exclaimed amiable Bill Fisher, former WWC student when he visited here recently. The lanky, towering young man looked around and then rambled on, "See that Redwood tree over there? It sure has changed. , When I went here in '33, it was just a small thing, and Pa Dack was doing everything he could to coax it to live." Writer Plus Ace Bill Fisher was prominent in campus activities the two years he attended Western Washington College. He wrote sport news for the WWCollegian besides filling the role of an ace player on the tennis . squad. Fisher, who at present is the history department head of Kirkland high school, has had two of his articles published recently. "I thought I'd done enough bragging for one day," he answered simply when I wondered why both articles hadn't been mentioned. "And since the articles pertain to education and were published in education manuals, I thought perhaps they would only hold interest for educators." Articles Published One of the articles, "Toward Federal Control of Education," was in the February edition of "School and Society," and it revolves around the vital questions, "does the growing power of the Federal government mean the defeat of the democratic way of life?" and "should the public schools receive financial aid from the Federal government?" . Mr. Fisher aptly answers, "Today, because of the many excellent school buildings which dot our landscape in testimony to the benefits bestowed by the Federal government upon our school system, very few educators would point to the W. P. A. as having cast a curse upon Democracy." The second article appeared on the editorial page of the April number of "Social Education." This is entitled "Basic Truths of Democracy," and deals not only with the method of teaching social studies, but also with several basic facts upon which the very foundation of democracy rests. "My standards," declared Fisher, before he wandered away down the path," is that Democracy should be practiced as well as taught in the classroom." ne i PiOcrd • ' The Calvary Lutheran church in Vancouver, Washington, was the setting on" April 6 for the marriage of Miss Peggy Payne, recent WWC co-ed to Warren Pinad USN. The double ring ceremony was performed By candlelight wit6 the; Rey. A. A. Schmidt, offociating. Miss Payne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Payne, Vancouver, Wash., was given in marriage by her father. The bride, attired in a white satin gown with fingertip veil carried a white Bible and; purple orchid. Following the ceremony, "a reception was held at Covington House for immediate members of the family and friends after which the couple left to make their home in Oakland, California, where he is stationed at the naval hospital. Frederick Pratt Listed Missing • After only three or four weeks of duty overseas, Second Lieutenant Frederick H. Pratt, former student of WWC and local boy, was reported missing in action over Germany since April 11, according^to word recently received nere. Lt. Pratt, who was serving as a pilot on a bomber, was commissioned and received his silver pilot's wings last October at Pampa Field, Texas. Besides attending WWC, Lt.

Also, I might add that'after ^pushing the log booms aside and dragging, bay bottom, city authorities recovered the sources of the gargle and four "blubs" heard last Friday morning near the waterfront according to last week's publication. And then • amateur firstaiders (We'll call it an unsanctioned aptitude experiment, P.

Let Five Hopes and Six Stars Shine - I t appears-that WWC is doing something new, in the way of honoring. servicemen when they • place eleven gold stars on the service flag which; hangs proudly in the main hall. Gold stars for those that are merely missing too . .... I wonder? -Surely, let us place* on high the stars symbolizing, the six who have died so nobly for freedom's sake . . . . Let us shine their stars that they may glow in deserving brilliance . . . Let us tarnish them only with our tears. Just the other day came the announcement that two men of nearby, communities, who had been declared missing have been found and are prisoners of war. For the five that are missing, I say, let us lift up prayers of hope, not stars of death. Lydgate Discusses Gallup Surveys • William A. Lydgate, editor of the Gallup poll, stood before assembly Tuesday and made the drastic statement "Gentlemen do not prefer blondes."

O.K. You talked me into it. BIRDS: There are many kinds of. birds—sparrows, robins, wrens, and humming and then there's Harold Moe, a jail-bird! Well, no not exactly but he recently received an Invitation to spend a few hours with the local police judge. 'Course after he told his story the judge said, "Pine, fine." So he paid the fine and left. Pavlov's drooling dogs had nothing on WWC's co-eds when they glimpsed former studes, Jim Bolster and Doug Thompson home on leave and making like Navy cadets. Zowie! STATISTICS: 98% of the Dorm girls had plenty of fun initiating the remaining 2% comprised of the Hochscheid sisters from Portland. The gals took quite a beating. PREDICTION COMES TRUE— 'Member not so long ago when yours truly predicted that a certain Edens hallite would make an important announcement — well, it happened. Congratulations, Zosia. Newest member of the "Clipped Crop Club," Betty fisher, is really moanin' 'cause Jimmy Gilday is on his way home and it so happens he doesn't like bangs. I can only recommend Germain's hair grower.

She was told to write a name feature asking people what they wanted the Easter Bunny to \ bring them. Well she thought and thought and thought, and no light came, no storm struck, in fact nothing happened at all. There was just one big blank, and how . . . .

He told a few of the results obtained from all over the nation on the 1944 presidential election. "The general concensus of opinion runs," Mr. Lydgate said, "that Roosevelt will be the Democratic presidential nominee, and that either Thomas Dewey, governor of New York state, or Wendell Willkie, will be the Republican leader. As for the $64 question, who'll come out on top—well, the country is pretty well divided, and the way it now stands the soldier vote holds the balance." Following luncheon here at the college, Mr. Lydgate returned to. Seattle where he will remain for a few days. y(am 119 W. Magnolia fl±Cfti Does Study Get You Down?

Hussey worked on freighters during vacations, taking trips to New York, Alaska, Chile, South America, Shanghai, and Europe. Now attached to an admiral's staff in the Pacific, Lt.

"The modern cruiser," began It. •Bill Hussey as he tilted back in a chair in the WWCollegian office, "is a complete city on ship. She has "everything but a shoemaker. There are a drugstore, hospital, movies, and all the essentials of a city. "We even have mail service, although it took from November to March for us to receive our Christ- • mas packages and letters. The mail was sent from the port but we had changed positions—so by the time we finally got it, those who had food, received it in an unappetizing condition. ' "While we were at one of the bases, we had a tennis match with a combined team of New Zealand-ers, Australians, and American. We won." beamed the lieutenant. "And just before firing on the Gilberts started," he continued reflectively, "we had some wonderful ping pong games." When asked about his most interesting non-military experience, Lt. Hussey's golden tan seemed darker as his white teeth flashed in a smile. "I'd vote," he said, ^ "for the trips upstream in rubber boats visiting the native tribes in the Northern Solomons,'' •' more candids (Continued from Page Two) assigned to-the Alaska communications supply service in Seattle. • Becoming an Army Air Force "tripple-threat man" upon his completion of bombardier training at Carlsbad, New Mexico, Cadet Tony Bezer, WWC sophomore last year, was appointed a Flight officer on April 1.

Varsity Turnouts Show Two . Men Prepared For Team Duty; Good Golf Prospects • Only two men, Paul Foster and Dale Burklund, have been steadily turning out for varsity tennis, but- Chuck Lappenbusch has been earnestly coaching their net play since the beginning of spring quarter. Both tennis players have had considerable experience and make a good court showing. However, unless the squad is broadened to in-elude the advanced women play-- ers that Lapp is instructing, the prospects for a team are rather slim. More tennis • material might be found in Chuck Pomeroy and Lloyd Jones, who have made a fair showing on the courts the last few days. Coach Lappenbusch states that the obtaining of competition is the most difficult task at the present. How About Golf? Many golf enthusiasts have been wondering about the possibilities of a WWC golf team. Maple court men, Roy Wark, Gene Sivertson, Lowell Doud, Bob Ross, and Gerry Pells, have turned over their free time to golfing lately. Coach Sam Carver, who has ably /guided past golf teams to good showings in competition, would be enthused by some of the individual scores that have been made so early in the season.

After having William Lydgate's facts and figures of voting percentages brought before us Tuesday in assembly, WWC women voters should straighten their' shoulders under that'weight of responsibility, march with determination to the polls, and salute the'man whom they sincerely believe will most ably guide our warring nation. . Here in our college, the many women' Voters living away from home will not have the party influence of the men in their farri-ly to decide their votes for them. Contrary to. the average result of woman suffrage as cited by Lyd-gate, the majority of the conclusions reached by WWC women voters can .and should rest with the.worrjan herself. WE CANT AFFORD TO MISS IT If we don't care, think what a imess things will be. After all, who's going to'be running things .after this war? What age. if it' isn't the college age, is the one that. should- be concerned with postwar/planning? .Every one .of us, who will be living the most significant days of our lives after this war,'should take every opportunity to obtain the proper backgrounds that we can understand how we may best-promote a postwar peace. Next Friday during the Conference on Postwar Problems, we will have one of those opportunities. Let's not pass up this chance to hear discussions by people who have studied and know the situation. ERICKSON, JOHNSON DO GRAYS HARBOR WORK • Miss Emma Erickson and Miss Vivian Johnson are participating now in the In-Service program in . Grays Harbor county! They are working with Miss Blanche Pennick, former student here, and have their headquarters in Montesaho' and Aberdeen. Miss Erickson and Miss Johnson will work hi the program for a period of six weeks. ..V:-'. Miss Dorothea Waters was married to Lt. Vern P. Butts, U. S. Marine Corps, in Florida recently, where the groom is stationed. They are now living at North Cocoa Beach. Mrs. Butts is the daughter of Mrs. Jean P. Wat-ersr Point Roberts,^ and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Butts, of Stan-wood. The bride was a member of t he WWC appointment bureau from 19 42 until last October. ' New Dorm Sisters Hail From Portland ' • Portland has sent two more girls to WWC in the form of Ann and Gene Hochschied, freshmen. Ann graduated from the Washington high school in Oregon in 1940 and has been working in a department store since. She lives to swim, and has participated in park swim meets in that state. Gene likes to swim too but she' says that she would almost rather' bowl. She has been engaged in the novel occupation of working in a shoe repair shop on the weekends and during vacations. Both girls want to be teachers, but Gene wants to specialize in physical education. MONTEITH WEDDING • Correction: The wedding of WAC Private Margaret E. Monteith reported in last week's paper occurred in New Rochelle, New Jersey, instead of in Seattle. The wedding took place at the groom's home. Both the bride arid groom are stationed at the Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland. Woman of the Week Strike three—you're out! You guessed it, baseball, but can you guess who this pitcher is who is fanning players out right and left? It's not a man, it's a girl,, on our campus, who has made quite a name for herself not only in baseball but also in the other feminine fields of sports. But, at baseball she is a seasoned veteran with one previous year of college experience, two years of high school experience, and three years of junior high experience—not to mention back-yard sessions in her, early childhood. " "Versatile" aptly applies to the Woman of the Week who can spend an afternoon "roughing it up" in athletics and yet—spend the evening writing serious and dreamy poetry. Some of her poetic works have been published in the WWCollegian, but many more adorn the door of her room at Edens Hall. An active WR/V member, a recently-elected member of Board of Control, an .officer-of her sophomore, class — she should need no further description but she is a" Norwegian, Swede, such—well, anyway she has fair skin, blonde hair which is naturally wavy, and a tendency to eat nothing but fruit for "breakfast. Oh, so that gave her away! Alice- Marie -Anderson is this week's woman. . -•" ••!... House H v EDENS PEELINGS BY SPUD— • Ah, 'tis spring—de boid is on de wing—no! de wing is on de boid. Anyhow the dorm gals are seen taking advantage of this exhilarating sunshine and green in their daily after dinner walks and numerous attempts to get that much-sought- after sun tan. Lura Jo and Lorraine McConnell are shining examples of the latter, although rumor has it that it is a spientific mystery as ..to how those splotches (freckles) of Mac's can ever turn into a tan. M. L. Burke is the new secretary-treasurer, Virgie Sorgenfrei, the new social chairman, and Peggy Custer, reporter, as a result of Wednesday's election. It isn't enough to get a new fur coat and announce an engagement all in one week, so Zosia gets/ two long-distance phone calls from a certain little giiy in Colorado to make that ever-so radiant glow a ' little more radiant. RAGAN'S RAMBLINGS Chew, chew,- chew, baby—that's what the girls at Ragan's did at their first house meeting of the quarter. While Ellerine Shannon walked away with the house presidency and Margaret Robinson 'became the new social chairman, Ruth Mclnnes departed with the empty caramel dish. A postscript from last quarter's finals are the signs on various doors which range from "Master- Mind Mansion"'and "Solitary Confinement" to "The Padded Cell" and "Violent Ward."

The bride last attended WWC in 1942. She is the daughter of Attorney and Mrs. R. W. Greene, and Wright is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Wright, both. well-known Bellingham families. Ensign Wright flew up from Jacksonville, Fla., where he has been stationed, and at the end of his two-week leave his bride will accompany him to San Diego, where he has been assigned. • Miss Helen Vistaunet, a former student of WWC, was recently married to Lt. Erling Stensland of the U.S. Army Air corps. The wedding took place in March when the groom was home on leave from Tuscon,, Arizona. The couple spent a short honeymoon in Vancouver, B.

Warm" breezes, still reminiscent of a hot day now eclipsed by darkness blew short gasps simulating the sound of a fat man cooling' himself with an iced drink in the twilight of the Northwest. ' Shorelights blinked and winked approval to many moonstruck and also love struck couples that graced the smooth dance floor of the Pa-narama Roof, high above the town on the Vancouver hotel, Vancouver, B. C, Canada. While noticing the couples . I thought of my dear roomie who was on his back in Bel-lfaigham with some sort of a stomach disorder. I had his girl with his best suit and his flashy tie draped over my frame. The occasion for the trip, was the celebration of the wedding of a couple of BeUingham's finest. Just picture the scene: beautiful night, wonderful girl, fine company of friends and interesting people, magnificent orchestra, attractive waitresses with a French accent, powerful cokes and what do you think happened? Well, I noticed them anyway... ZOOTS They were a smooth ,lot—a, group of girls waiting" for their escorts paused long enough in their "cat-versation," to point inquisitive eyebrows— the boys returning from the checkroom talking and laughing boisterously together, upon beholding them, were unable to suppress loud guffaws... The elderly couple "sitting one out," poked one another and in mirthful whispers recalled earlier days—and the manager,., sighed., resignedly., at., the doorman's stupidity for letting in such individuals. 'Course I may have been seeing things, but anyway these jokers walked in and the first natural reaction was, What were "they," real or logical being? Ait first glimpse we were puzzled at these three strange sartorial exhibitionists sauntering across the floor, but remembering that girls in slacks were not allowed to enter such a place as the Panarama Roof, we decided it must be some strange hitherto unheard of species of rational animal. A CLOSE EXAMINATION: Revealed them to be youths, (not men) covered with a glass veneer of sophistication. Immediately we sought to classify them, but instead found that a definition of such genera would undoubtedly be impossible so we have to be content with a descriptive definition. They were characters of the first class. Long haircuts, collars three sizes too large..a long dangling chain, long coats.. if you haven't guessed by now I give up..If any such things are spied running around loose in Bellingham—advise, only we. want them alive. THE COLLEGIAN: Every year a call is made by the editor for writers, and emberyo writers, to try out for this weekly paper published by the students of this school as a strictljr extra-curricular activity. It's hard work and the reward is small. But fun is to be had. So far Editor Joyce Waterbury we have clipped this article on hackneyed phrased and dedicated it to her reporters, from '^hef.',:'•.....'••' .v. / •'•"', (Continued on Page Three) Replies Given in Poll Diversified What fields of study taken in college up to now have contributed most to your teaching success?

During this past week a cross-section of former students were asked to fill out these questionnaires with their own ideas on the subject. Their opinions were interesting and widely diversified: Teaching Methods Rate High Teaching methods especially student teaching and observation were rated highest as contributing to teaching success; while the professional science courses, rather than the science orientation courses were given the next place. Contributing to success in living, English literature courses were the most mentioned. Science courses were again placed second in importance with history courses taking third place.

Library Staff Gives Tea for Jackson By JERRY LUDENS Mrs. A. C. Jackson, WWC library housekeeper, - was honored Wednesday afternoon with a tea given by members of the library staff in the staff room of the library. At this time the librarians presented Mrs. Jackson with a gift to show their appreciation for her efficient work and friendly co-operation. At the" conclusion of the summer quarter, Mrs. Jackson is retiring from her position after conscientiously serving WWC for over thirty years. At the start she* worked out a thorough system of job analysis in order to complete her cleaning in as' short a time as possible and keep the building as 1 beautiful as when gt;it was built, Her efficient. work became an art and through her careful instruction Mrs. Jackson has taught the students whom she employed the value of organization in all tasks. The reports from the periodical inspections made of the buildings stated that the WWC library is the most carefully ' cared for building in the state. Also, even after fifteen years of use, this building is often thought of as being new by outside visitors.

PE instructor, who is? chairman of the Student Loan committee. Carver gave as a plausible reason for this lack of requests for financial support the increased opportunity for employment of students. He continued to explain that since the time when NYA work was given students the funds have been drawn upon less and less by students. "At one time the entire amount of the fund was out in loans," he said. However, now the total sum of $32,000, except $7,000 outstanding in loans, is deposited in various forms of savings and investments. $17,000 of the fund is in War Bonds, and $2,500 is invested in a loan Corporation. Former WWCer Dies in Crash Robert C. Brooks, 29-year-old president of the Brooks Lumber company and former student of WWC,, met instant death last Saturday morning, when the car he was driving struck a power pole on Northwest avenue.

Restlessly shuffling and re-shuffling the materials on exhibit Wed^ nesday afternoon; in the student lounge, Gorow explained how his knowledge of the use of the movie projector led tox more and more time spent aiding other Tacoma schools in their visual teaching. Within a short period, visual instruction took over all his time and he became affiliated with the Seattle-Tacoma shipyards, teaching welding and ship fitting in a vocational training program. The moving pictures were shown also as part of a recreational and morale-building program for the shipyard workers. Mr. Gorow had completed two years with the shipyards when he was offered his present post at Washington State College in June of this year. "Perhaps because it is an agricultural college and has direct connections with the department of agriculture, WSC has acquired a library of 700 instructional films," he stated. Despite his youthful appearance, Mr. Gorow assured the reporter that he was a family man. "I have a wife and two children who have been in California the past five months," he stated. With the concluding remark, "I have something on this table which ought to interest the summer -school students." He drew the reporter, to an exhibit of -film supplies on the subject, "How. to Become a'Teacher in Eight Easy Lessons." It might not be a bad idea; at that. Visual Week Ends With Luncheon Meet Today's luncheon in Edens hall concluded a week of Audio-Visual Education on the campus. At the Tuesday assembly Frank F. Gorow, Acting Director of Visual Instruction, Washington State college, presented the topic "Tools for Teachers." Mr. Gorow brought out the point. that a teacher has available "tools" in her classroom which she can use in guiding the pupil's learning. Some of these are hand tools, the object, the model, pictures, charts, bulletin boards and blackboards. Others are "power tools," the slide and movie projectors and the record players and radio. As the teacher uses these tools she develops skill in their selection and application.

This week we have on the campus people and exhibits to help us develop our audio-visual aids teaching skills. It's our job to get the most benefit from these opportunities. Too many of us in our own smug way feel that we know just about all we need to know to do a good job of teaching. As Frank F. Gorow stated in his assembly address last Tuesday, it's blackboards, the industrial trip, pictures, maps, and other devices which we take for granted which can be made to do our most effective teaching for us, if we really know how. - This conference is here for your benefit.

Those words "blue" and "white" and "Vikings" haven't been-used for so long around the campus and town that they are getting to be a strange group of adjectives. Coach Lappy has absolutely no prospects to date that he can count •i on. Lappenbusch has high hopes ( of an influx of discharged service- \ men and 4-F's returning to college. Whatever may be in store1 for the future, this corner has hopes of seeing the college sport in full swing this fall.

Another teacher suggested that student teaching should take place in different situations, maintaining that the training school situation was not a typical one. More help in such practical things as in making worthwhile seatwork and in scheduling classes was desired. y "What fields of study or subdivisions should be added," was the context of the third question. "More -workshop for every student and an opportunity for this befoe they first graduate," wrote one primary teacher. Rehabilitation Necessary "Psychology—student experiences and current articles should be discussed and the rehabiltation of ex-servicemen should be studied," replied another teacher. "Success in living," felt one person questioned^ "could be aided by sufficient political science and more sociology to develop understanding of other governments/ Racial prejudices must be obliterated," she concluded. "What subject would cover this?" After reading these statements, do you as a reader, feel that these student opinion quizzes are .worthwhile? The Collegian would appreciate some comment on the subject either verbal or in the form of --a letter to the editor. Viqueen Lodge Picturesque Viqueen Lodge will be the scene of the last all-day-trip of the summer recreation'program. Onwed by the WRA, the cabin is located on Sinclair island, one of the group of islands in Puget Sound. Students who plan to go to Sinclair island should be on hand at Citizens dock early, since the number allowed to board the. Osage will be limited. Plenty of lunch is the only requisite for a day of- sailing, swimming, lounging, and even maybe a little baseball. The Osage will leave at 7 tomorrow morning, arid will return approximately at 5:30. Davison to Lecture Here Tuesday Frank Drake Davison, lecturer, will appear in next Tuesday's assembly. He will speak on the subject "Wartime and Springtime in the Deep South."

Board and room cost $3.50 to $4,00 per week; self boarding cost $6.00 to $10.00 a month; no tuition; library fee $10^% returnable; textbooks were loaned free:— Brother! What a Utopia that would be. Miss McBride, who is a frequent visitor to the Edens Hall dining hall, let us glance through a group "' of old "Messengers" just for comparison sake. It was a monthly, printed in booklet form. Many of the prominent business men and educators of today's Northwest were prominent, students at that time .. Miss McBride will gladly show her "Messengers" to anyone - interested. • A LITTLE,LEARNING While browsing through a dictionary looking up the meaning of one of Dr. Kangley's big elusive words, I ran across the word "pedant," the meaning of which was quite interesting and decided it deserved a little looking into... There are many such' persons both in college and in everyday life.. A pedant, tried and true, is one who lives on the fringes of learning and rides on the skirts of scholarly achievement. Because of a lack of either intellectual acumen or of plain industry ^he or she is satisfied to joke or kid his way through the labyrinthine ways of knowledge. You can see it every day, especially during this war... In the shipyards, the military services, the guy on the street and in college. SHOULD DELVE: His frequent exhibitions of learning are inopportune and needless; his insistence upon the importance of trifling matters of scholarship are quite boring. He has not drunk deeply of Pierian springs," so says Webster, "the shallow draughts« have intoxicated his brain so that he is made dizzy with but a medium amount of knowledge while yet a maximum of learned lumber reposes in his head. • HALF BAKED PEDANT The pedant' is half baked or half roasted. Therefore the intellectual fare he prepares and dishes put., is..' not., palatable and works naught, but indigestion and confusion to the mind... It is as if one sat down to an all ill-prepared, undercooked, half-raw, half-seasoned dish of oysters... The chief ingredients of time, clarity, and direction were absent... Had a true scholar prepared the victuals his sobriety, reflection and thoroughness would have produced something tasty, full of savory juices, magical flavors, and spiced to a nicety, with a delicate bouquet and witching, verily the incense affording cult to the god of taste. A pedant knows the rules, but he doesn't know how to apply them. His criterion of canon value is the unbending yardstick. He walks with unchanging pace1 and follows with after wisdom in a rut. With one hand he pores over verses and in the other he holds his mistral ...... CRITICAL PERSON His ambition is to criticise and direct. He or she spends much time in teaching when he or should lQok toward improvement. He Veigns a great, sober and comure-hensive mien when others -„ speak of something of which he knows • little. He strokes his chin gravely (Cohtihued oh Page Three) Fall Quarter Committees Plan Opening Busy working on completion of plans for Opening Freshman week, beginning September 24, are committees who were appointed by Virginia Sorgenfrei, general chairman of the week.

Post Cards Offered Literary Students To familiarize young people of the state with the poems of Ella Higginson, Bellingham writer and former poet laureate of Washington, Miss Catherine Montgomery, 508 State street, offers Higginson post cards for the entire grade to any child sending her a carefully written composition on the poet or her work. Elementary teachers now at WWC, who have frequently admired Mrs. Higginson's residence opposite the main entrance to the camups, it is expected will develop this project in their grades this fall. Many Media Used By Art Students "Scratch crayon art is a teaching medium of great variety," said Miss Hazel Plympton of the Art department-. "It's techniques suggest black prints, etchings and oil paintings," she said. Art 125 The Art Relations class, Art 125, is working in block prints which are used in making Christmas cards, table mats and wall hangings. Art 165 The* art 165 class is making a #tudy of childrenfs drawings in relation to the stages of development in the children. The first development of children's interest in art is called the. symbolic stage. The children's interest during that time is concerned mostly with color and design and extends from grade to grade. Next comes the third kindergarten through the , third stage and the decorative jstage. "It is important to know the various stages of development in the child to help him preserve the best in each stage," .said Miss. Plympton: • 'v.';-' .::''''; Bureau Makes Appointments Miss Elizabeth Hopper, head of the Appointment bureau, announced the following appointments: Miss Helen Cryer Jorden, 3rd and 4th grades, Skagway, Alaska; Miss Kathryn Newell, art in intermidiate grades at Auburn; Mr. Ralph Nur-mi, Jr. and Sr. athletics, Anchorage, Alaska; Mabel Haug, Junior High, Custer; Susanna Kenney, 1st 2nd and 3rd grades, Rock Port; Mrs. Clara Blunt, 6th grade, Union Gap school; Miss Jean McGregor, 3rd and 4th grades, Everson, Ruth Ireland, 5th and 6th grades, Nooksack.

To the left of Mr. Lanphear 'was the recessed window overlooking the bay, in which the former owner of Clover Hill, Ella Higginson, wrote her memorable verse. From this window, Miss Higginson viewed the clover-covered slopes which inspired the famous stanzas of the "Four Leaf Clover" . . . FOURrLEAF CLOVER / I know a place-where the sun is like gold ..

The last issue of any publication is dedicated to the issuance of printed bouquets by the editor, columnists, and anyone who can legitimately put in writing the thank-you's he has for those persons who have been working with him. Collegian staff members are in no way departing from tradition in this issue. Many editors have had larger staffs—those people who- write anything the editor doesn't want to write—but no editor: has had a harder working, more conscientious group who were willing to cut classes, put off writing that term paper, or not study for the test, just so you could have that weekly Collegian, Friday. Pat Bellingham, our feature editor, has done a swell job of writing not only her own page, but straight news as well. There has been something funnyv or clever to say even if the hour.for retiring had passed into the dim and distant past. G-l Jive and the Women's page have been handled very well by competent Marilyn Wike..If there was any news at a! refloating around loose, Marilyn managed to capture it in print and bring it to you. Coming through with any specified amount of copy, Walt Baker has performed a master feat of combining work, school, and good reporting. • Ralph Stevens ,the cub reporter, Jerry Ludens, and Emily Gilmore also have worked hard at compiling these nine issues. Doing a good job of typing and running errands, Pat Crosier and Paul Plamondon have saved staff members a good many steps and hours work. Copy may have been a little late in arriving at the Print Shop, but Walt Sutherlen and Art Miller managed to maintain that good-natured joviality even on . Friday morning at eleven. Thanks again to the pair who were able to laugh when .nothing was fuh-i ny. Lilly and Frank also deserve their share of the praise for Friday morning work. Our adviser, Mrs. Ruth Burnet, deserves q.n especially large thank-you for her patient corrections.

The SIP qnd BITE Is Now Open LUNCHES Complete Fountain Service High Street ' ' Fall Fashions Feature Fickle Fads of Fashionable Ferns "For $35 you can buy a Shetland suit that will take you anywhere," said the fashion forecaster, discussing fall trends in suits, skirts and sweaters. The question remains: should we take her word for it or would John Bob make a more dependable escort? If you can mentally solve* taht one, it will leave you free to look at the suits once more—and really reet ones they are! Suits Are Zoot „ Mannish-tailored suits, suits of the dressmaker type with tailored collar or cardigan styles lead this fall's fashion parade. Zinnia (a rusty red), beaver brown, and mint green are the shades' suited for suits while two new fabics, marvel-ita (a velvet-soft wool) and vel-chilla (a heavier, chinchilla type weave) take their place with her-ringbone- sheland, wool crepe, and striped flannel, and the worsted weaves as the most important new details for suits and coats. Separate skirts have adopted the pencil silhoue'tte in yarn dyed flannel and tweed plaids. Patterned after the top of the sailor's bell-bottomed trousers (epithet courtesy of Bernadine M.), the new trouser skirt buttons up the front two inches over from each side seam (that is, in the size 14). To wear over your wool skirts, Jantzen has fashioned a turtle-necked soft sweater in pastel shades. Perennial favorites are the Bob-* by-Boxy sweater and the "Big Bumps" sweater, a coarse-woven, boxy type, which comes in cocoa, mint, hot pink and heather shades. Dickeys, blazer jackets and cardigan jackets will be present in many styles to wear with every type suit. Coordinate, Keeds! / Coordinated suits, jackets, jumpers and slacks are real fashion news and really practical. With black velvet detail and in plain contrasting shades, this coordination Idea makes it possible* to combine your suit jacket with slacks or a jumper, as you wish. Long-sleever turtle-neck blouses in black and the brighter plain shades match these sets. If you're going to be in school this fall, informal date dresses will occupy your mind.-'The fitted crepe dress with a sculptured -neckline or satin highlights is a good bet. Bows at the hip and neckline setoff the subtle simplicity of style. Velvet two-piecers in the new deep red shades are also popular. Check Your Coat? Teachers, with that first paycheck, you may have your eyes open for a new coat or topper. The new shortie should catch your eye. Its main features are patch pockets, tailored lapels, velvet collar, and the vent back. For that dressed-up effect, the Hollywood wrap is certain to please. Of full coat length, it features bell sleeves, a Johnny collar, slash pockets, and a wide belt, which ties in front. Hollywood wraps come in a heavy wool fleece, in shades of mint green, plum, citron gold, and Saint Cloud blue, and also will double for a topper or slacks. To top off our fall outfits we need to take a look at the new-trend in hat styles. Sou*westers, Casablancas, pompadours, calots, and cloches and berets in. fur felts will be featured this fall. By way of further explanation, the Casablanca is a soft felt with a wide turned-down brim. The colors sound good enough to eat: spice brown, hacienda purple, tsrawberry wine, and tropic olive. This is the extent of what your fashion reporter. could glean on what the wellrdressed collegiate will wear this fall. For any additional pointer I refer yotf to Vogue, Mademoiselle, Harper's Bazaar, or our ads for 'this week. - All That's New IN FALL CLOTHES OUR FALL STOCK IS ARRIVING DAILY— LET JJS HELP YOU SELECT THOSE THINGS YOU NEED FOR BACK TO SCHOOL WEAR.

A pedant is full of cliches and purple patches. He is quick to speak and slow to read. Anecdotes, examples, trite and hackneyed, he parades with a flourish in the grand manner. He receives unmerited honors with facility. He confuses his discovery of knowledge with its invention.

AN EXHIBITIONIST A pedant is a horn without stops or values that sounds a loud, monotonous blast with a well dated sameness, and he is ever on the parade ground exhibiting, seldom in the barracks improving. But as we take measure of the excellency of other men by some excellency we "believe to be in ourselves we must in the present case be aware of pedantry, tried and true, and the pedantic lapse that at times affects some true scholars. Even as Homer or some of those learned fellows of long ago, if he were not wary and circumspect, may fall into a common snarl of lauding his knowledge. Yet truly the flame of learning burns most brightly and steadfastly when fed from within and waves only at superficial breaths on the outside from ill-advisedly ambitions concerned with show alone..

Vacationing Faculty To Study, Travel Mr. Arntzen is planning to spend his vacation next quarter working around the house. (Mrs. Arntzen, please note. Here it is in print.) If, however, traveling conditions permit, the Arntzens will forsake the Washington rain for the California variety. We expect that Mr. Arntzen will be well rested and ready to produce even better history tests in the winter quarter. He also plans to catch up on his reading. Our new PE teacher, Miss Mar-jorie Muffley, will attend the ten day Red Cross Acquatic school at Cbeur d'Alene, Idaho, on her way to Ohio.

Nellie Webber and Ada Jones performed parlor tricks. • We would all like to receive more letters like the one Margaret Robinson found in her mailbox Saturday morning. Any more rich relatives, M. L.? EDENS HALL Friday night four Edens Hallers and one foreigner were entertained on the boat Aloma, of Friday Harbor. A cruise to Anacortes and back •was enjoyed. "Sea" got a little rough coming back. The Edens hall crew was composed of May Belle Bodey, Ethel Dahlman, Mary and Kathleen Golly. Rachel Blekkink, a faithful inmate for two years, was back in the fold over the weekend. She stayed at "Andy" Anderson's town residence "Den of Women." A new sorority has cropped up on the campus.. "Gotta Koppa Papa Sororit" will become active fall quarter. One of the two charter members is leaving at the end of this quarter for greener pastures. Good luck, May Belle Bodey! Saturday morning, five brave residents of Edens hall, two guests, and Miss Mar jorie Muffly embarked upon the S. S. Osage with Sinclair and Viqueen lodge as their destination. The four brave souls who walked down to the boat were drenched to the skin, and their food containers were no better off. What a mess those sandwiches and cookies made on the sidewalk. The eight "salts" who enjoyed the trip were, Mrs. Orpha Christenson, Miss Marjorie Muffly. Maryanne and Kathleen Golly, Jean and Muriel "Hap" Wittier, Jean Stice and Eleanor Harkington. Gotta go to class now, and can't think of anything else .anyway so this is Edens hall, HOCL, signing off for the summer.

CRYSTAL GAZERS: Every person at one time or another has had the future revealed to him by a man or woman professing to have the inside track on future events. At parties there is always some wag who has enough knowledge of yourself plus a bit of common sense, so that he is able to pre-dicryour future quite accurately. It's really no trick. Anyone who is the least bit observing can do it. Giving information in this manner is not serious as long as (Continued on Page Three) Davis Outlines PE Program Liuet. Commander Ellwood C. Davis, former WWC student and men's physical education instructor, now in charge of the physical training program of the Third Naval district, has outlined a revised physical education program for schools and colleges, according to a recent item in the New York Times. Asserting that ."the boys are not in shape," Commander Davis criticized present physical training as "too soft" and "not geared to war needs." He declared that physical educators should concern themselves with planning for the Navy's immediate training requirements, He advocated pooling of the facilities of community -agencies and more -time given in school to physical training. -^ The program outlined by Commander Davis included training in combat swimming. He stressed the number of men lost at Tarawa and Sicily because of inability to swim. Another proposal was "to drive the men past the point of fatigue to build up endurance." Upon completing two years work at Western Washington College; Commander Davis was awarded his diploma May 26, 1920. He received his AB degree from the University of Washington, his MA from Chicago University, and his doctorate from Columbia University. During the time Sam Carver attended Stanford in 1928, Commander Davis took his place here in the physical education departanent. - * 6 4 Bill Offers Post-War Education Plan Of great importance to every U.S. college and university is the G-I Bill of Rights recently passed by .Congress and signed by President Roosevelt. The "G-I Bill of Rights" offers at least one calendar year of further education to almost every veteran returning from this war. Any course of study may be purchased by a veteran at any approved educational or training institution in the United States. A veteran must begin his course not more than two years after his discharge or the end of the war, whichever is later. No veteran will receive aid for more than four years of study, and no educational aid will be available more • than seven years after the end of the war. Must Serve 90 Days To be eligible for benefits under the "G-I Bill," a veteran must have served in the armed forces between September 16, 1940, and the end of the war. He must have served at least 90 days and not been dishonorably discharged. Men discharged for a service-incurred disability who have served less than 90 days are also eligible. Time spent as a cadet or midshipman at one of the service academies cannot be counted as part of the term of service. Neither can time spent in 'the ASTP or Naval college training program, if the veteran "continued his civilian course of study during that time. If a veteran's education was in-terupted by his entrance into the service, he will receive one year of schooling plus an additional period equal to his term of service. If he was not over 25 years of age when he entered the service his educa- (Continuea on Page Three; Enrollment: Statistics Still on Way Up Enrollment statistics, although not complete, have reached a total of 371 students of the summer session, according to Dr. W.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 11 12:00 Luncheon—Edens hall Presiding: Alvin Carr, Junior-Senior High School, Renton, Wash. Topic: "Summarization of the Conference" Morgan Collects Novelty Harp Jewelry; Harp Case Doubles as Wardrobe By PAT BELLINGHAM "A musical, background and a sense of pitch are essential assets for the accomplished harpist," advised Virginia Morgan, stunning blonde harpist, when asked her suggestion for would-be harpists. "When I began, I used a small Irish harp," she continued in pleasing clipped accents, "In this way, I could, if I wished, discontinue my training without losing much money on my instrument." Harp Case Serves as Wardrobe Emerging from behind the harp case, which served a double pur-" pose as dressing room, Miss Morgan proceeded to demonstrate the fingering technique of the harpist comparing it w£th that of the pianist. Souvenirs of her extensive travels were contained in the collection of jewelery in the form of harps she carries everywhere with her. The harp-shaped watch fob which formed the basis of the collection has since been augmented by many ' unusual a*nd more expensive pieces. This summer spent in the Northwest has been somewhat of a vacation for this energetic artist. She will return for a very -full six months concert season with the San Francisco Symphony in addition to her job as harp instructor at Mills College. Morgan Commutes "You might term me a commuter between California and Seattle," she smiled, her blue eyes twinkling, "for it- was in Seattle where I met my husband and where he has his business." A member of the famous Morgan sisters trio, Virginia has received wide acclaim as a solo performer. Her mature command of the harp is a result of training first in Boston and later at the Paris Conservatory. Miss Morgan has been compared with Marcel Grandjany, greatest of all living harpists. Critics Commend Performances Alfred Frankenstein, noted music critic of the San Francisco Chronicle, states, "Granjany certainly imparted to this particular pupil a large amount of his own surpassing virtuousity. Every aspect of her playing is admirable and fine., but one is especially struck with the variety of color she drew from the harp, exploiting the rich palette of the instrument to.the full." College Newsletter Goes to Seniors The annual Collegiate Newsletter, which is mailed to graduating seniors of the northwest counties, is off the press this week. The Newsletter is mailed to approximately 2,300 prospective college students^ Those assisting with the Newsletter were Pat Bellingham, Marilyn Wike, and' Declan Barron, according to Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet, publications advisor. Campus School Tour Scheduled In connection with Visual-Aids week, a tour of the new Campus school has been planned for Thursday, August 10 at 1:15 p. m. The tour will be conducted by Miss Nancy Jane Smith, secretary to the Director of the Campus school. The building has been closed%to inspection since the campus school closed at the end of the first term. The decorators, who have been painting the walls are not yet finished. lt;-y-0-: Gorow to Head Aids Week : Mr. Frank Gorow, acting head, Bureau of Visual Teaching, State College of Washington, will be on the campus next week to head the Audo-Visual Aids Week. Dr. Erna Gunther, Washington State Museum, University of Washington, will also be present at the meeting. Audio-Visual aids classes which are scheduled for the second term of summer school will be opened to anyone who wishes to audit those classes. An exhibit of Audio-Visual aids will be on display in the Student Lounge during the Conference. Included in the program for the week are lectures, industrial trips planned to illustrate the proper use of field trips as effective teaching aid. Also scheduled are previews of films, film strips, slides and other visual aids covering a variety of grade levels and subject areas. There will be opportunity for individual conferences with Mr. Gorow, Dr. Gunther, or members of the college faculty. Afternoon lectures will be held in the Campus school auditorium. Harpers Publishes Butler's Poetry Staff Sergeant Charles E. Butler, who formerly served as WWC reference librarian, has once more been given recognition as an author through the publication of two original poems in the current issue of Harper's Magazine. His poems, appearing under the heading Poems from an English Base, were entitled "Dedication" and "The ' Ranks." Sergeant Butler has had several of his poems published recently indifferent publications and is remembered at WWC as the author of the memorial written for the victims of the Mount Baker disaster of five years ago. Before entering the army in 1943, he held the position of librarian at the Kanawha County Public library in Charleston, West Virginia. jf Dateline . . . Saturday, Aug. 5— Hike to Toad Lake.

Publications Adviser a amm oblioh,ia[{ Congress has passed the G-l Bill of Rights which will allow servicemen to either continue education which was started before the war, or .to make new plans ..for the future which include education. This arrangement by Congress is one of the most suitable post-war plans submitted by the master minds of legislation. It was imperative that some arrangement be made for men in service to train themselves for jobs or professions. A post-war depression, which is very probable, will find us with a larger number of unemployed men unless we are far sighted enough' to make provision for. that now. • Breadlines are not going to be made any shorter by men who are untrained, and unable to secure positions because of it. : Men who are now in the service are offered excellent opportunities to further their education with the passage of this, bill which gives the G-l his Bill, of Rights.

We got to. thinking, the other day just who was the brains behind these two forms of exercise and this is the interesting discovery we have made concerning the golfing sport. Golf was originally a Scotch pastime. The bigwigs of Scotland started batting the ball 'around about 1457. Even Mary, queen of Scots was seen sinking a birdie on the royal course the day following her husband's death, which was just not the right thing to do in those days. Golf had its ups and downs in these early days. The lords of Scotland couldn't decide whether the game was dignified or not, so they canned it. After they sat - down to think it over, they decided it was a lot of fun so they unbanned it. Gradually it spread and took in all of England. Some Scotch (bless 'em) advocate of the sport, with nothing else to do, introduced the game on the hapless citizenry of these United States. That was about the year 1890, and it has since spread over this country like an epidemic of measles. Now every spring and summer one can find thousands at various golf courses all over the country. Here in Bellingham and at WWC, you may play on a fine 18-hole course with clubs from the PE department of our college. All you have to do is ask for them.

The pier was re-anchored by the group, and some work was .done to the interior of the cabin;; • ••/•:•'-,.- (Continued from Page One) the recipient doesn't take such information to heart. • • YOU'D BE SURPRISED: How many women and men too, will consult their horoscope, have their palms read, or their heads examined, (that's no pun), before they will take an important step. Now take a young collegiate co-ed who isn't sure whether or not she should., marry., her., soldier., boy friend now or wait until this mess is over. A crystal gazer would probably give her some crazy advice for a $5.00 fee... Just plain, common logic would iron the problem out. I once paid two bucks to a cookie dressed like^ something out of this world, to tell me I was going to have 13 kids. Ever since then I've lost faith. Lots of people sincerely believe in astrology, subscribing to magazines and pursuing it generally as a hobby. Most of us, however, are content to read the daily forecast in the evening paper or spend a penny in the weight machine to find out how much different our zodiac is from the other eleven signs. • SUPERSTITIOUS PEOPLE: Most lucid explanation for the flourishing of these rackets is the superstitiousness of the American people. We are certainly a funny lot. Few persons will walk under a ladder, nearly everyone has a lucky charm of some sort with which he feels just a bit safer, and black cats crossing one's path will always evoke some comment. We knew a fellow who went through life on the toss of a coin. Speaking of coins being tossed, there is a certain group at dinner in Edens hall, where coin tossing decides who is to carry, out the trays from the table. The coin flipper and his hazel eyed girl friend always seem to walk away without carrying any trays... To go on with our story, this fellow would always flip a luck coin before making an important decision. Everything went fine until one day he lost the coin and still everything went fine. • • ENORMOUS BUSINESS: Astrology is an enormous business and runs into high finance. Almost any large newspaper in the country publishes a daily horoscope written by some seventh son of a seventh son. If this seventh son of a seventh son by reason of his mysterious birth is able to peek into the future, why doesn't he spend his time at the race track of EJdens hall, instead of telling some palpitating female what's going to happen when she meets a certain dark . gentleman. Ask Gail Stuart about that. He's a 'seventh son. \ ;'. ,.:. .- ':, Original^, that is among " the Greeks and. Romans, the word astrology meant the same as astronomy. Believers in ; those days' of: old, guided ^their everyday lives by Nautically minded WWC students are reserving Saturday, August 12, for the all-day trip to Vi-queen lodge on Sinclair island. zealous consultation with students and teachers of astrology. It now has developed into a new racket, psycho-analysis. • Charles II would never take a step unless his court astrologer, Lilly, were consulted, and hard headed Oliver Cromwell who believed in God, "but keep your powder dry," quoted many sayings rfom advocates of this mysterious art. However, the modern "future'\ merchants, of which there 'are many, operating in their respective fields, from astrology to palm- . clogy, can only form one operation successfully—that of relieving you of your hard earned cash. I'd gladly do it for nothing. Granting that these parasites could foretell things to come, its a cinch they wouldn't play around with nickles when dollars are to be had. WHERE TO GO: If you have a difficult or all mixed up problem, one which looks to you as a blind alley, go to one of the college professors and talk it over with him. Most of us agree that they are an understanding lot and would be happy to help. If you can't pick on a prof., try your pastor. Either person would set you right. But skip the crystal ball.

In the city of New lt;York there is a very interesting experiment in progress, which deserves notice. It seems that the big city's school system has a considerable number of vocational high schools and has also developed a plan known as the "work-study" plan. "(Progressive educators should take note." By this plan, pupils attend classes part of the day and work in private enterprises during the remainder of the day.: . In this way the students are combining theoretical instruction with shop training. • FIRST WARNING Only-twenty more sunsets until. Christmas day of 1944 is a reality. Of course we mean shopping days. From time to time during the intervening weeks we shall call this fact, to mind. The reason being, that we don't want you to do as Don Neal did last year. Don, the able fellow he is, was all set to purchase for his close friend, Alfred Clement, a full set of Superman comics. Now, if there is anything that will make Alfie happy it is to have someone rertiehiber him in this particular way, for "encyclopedia" Clement is an avid follower of Superman's daily stuff. Neal knew this and resolved during the Thanksgiving vacation upon his choice for Al's gift. Saving his pennies faithfully Don managed to accumulate by December 24th, all that was necessary except "fourteen cents." The deafer, hearing the. story, said that was o. k., that he would tear out the last page and Don could still be able to do right by his little pal. OH! OH! "Cupie" was overjdyteld. His little heart was palpatating at his friend's thoughtfulness and he sat right down on Christmas morn, even before his morning porridge, and devoured the latest adventures with great determination. That is, until he came to • the last page where it explains how superman escaped from the Junior Commandos. The page was missing! No longer are Al and Don "thataway." • Their friendship is broken, all because Don didn't begin, saving in time.- MORAL Save your spare change and coins. Don't borrow to give a gift. Save and buy early. Better yet, give your yuletide greetings by investing those coins and that spare change in a "War Savings Bond." It's an ideal gift, which we guarantee, nothing will be missing. What could be a better and more substantial gift in these Btill. dark days of 1944? Come Christmas day and many of America's finest will still be fighting their hearts out alongside our other allies, to keep alive a free people's ideals. They want you to have a glorious and. happy • Christmas, 56;let's help them a little and ourselves too; by investing in a BOND . . . :.:^0-M, Hutchins Visits WWC Campus Dr. William J. Hutchins, retired president of Berea College, where he served for 19 years, was in Bel-lingham visiting WWC Wednesday, November 22, as a representative of the .Danforth Youth Foundation. Dr. Hutchins has always been interested in religion, being a professor in theology at Oberiin College in Ohio before going to Berea. For the past three years he has been working with the Youth Foundation, which sponsors inter-denominational religious study in American colleges. H. R. Hearsey, WWC librarian, is a representative of the Danforth Foundation on this campus. Mr. and Mrs. N. R. Hearsey, Mr. and Mrs. Dutton, Ralph Stevens ,and Iris Bowden were the few who met Dr. Hutchins at a luncheon. "It is unfortunate that the student weren't able to hear Dr. Hutchins speak," declared President W. W. Haggard. "A meeting with such a great man would have been very worthwhile.' Sixth Annual Prom Plans Underway • The Sixth Annual Publications Prom, one of the biggest events of the school year, is scheduled for Saturday, February 24, 1945. The theme for the dance has been the Valentine one in the past, and it is believed that this year's Prom may center around the same idea. Tentative committee chairmen have ~ already been appointed as follows: Decorations, Catherine Anderson; publicity, Marilyn Boor as; invitations, Blaine Dahlgren; radio broadcasting, Murray Stanley; assembly and princesses, Betty Herr; and tickets, Beverly McNally. Further committees will be appointed in the near future, as it is anticipated by the chairmen that work will begin immediately after Thanksgiving vacation.

Students' reservations may be made until Monday noon, room 245. Through his work in playing "mood music," both as soloist and with orchestra, for some 300 Hollywood films, violinist Louis Kaufman figures that more people, have heard him than any other living violinist. And this doesn't exclude the "great" in the musical world-names like Kreisler and Heifetz. But they don's play for the movies except on special occasions and Kaufman does it all the time. In his years of playing music to accompany Hollywood films, violinist Louis Kaufman has had many feature-length cartoon "Pinocchio," when Jiminy Cricket slid down a violin's strings, Kaufman had to make noises like Jiminy Cricket sliding down violin strings. In this same film, he was also the glamor music for Cleo the Goldfish. In making a picture directed by Gregory Ratoff, Kaufman was called back later to remake parts of the sound track, "it's just too good," said Ratoff. "Takes too much attention from what's happening on the screen. You'll have to come over again and play it worse!" Home Front Award Presented Frosh At the Alumni- luncheon, Homecoming week-end, Marjorie Sinnett, Sigrid Vli, announced the winners of the skit program. First prize of five dollars went to the Freshman class, second place to Norsemen's club and third place honors went to Daniels hall. The freshman class skit was a college problems class with imitations of three teachers by Janet Brunswig, Dick Lurie, and Joan Haggard. Norsemen's club had a radio skit including Hedy LaHmmm and Veronica Puddle, portrayed by Mer-rie Virginia Bggers and Patsy Co6p-er. "Lady Luck," Jack Graham, was serenaded by a quartet of Daniels hall. Lady Luck was there helping the boys at the game with UBC, so maybe their singing wasnt in vain. Most of the clubs of the school "were represented in the Homecoming assembly. Members of the (judging committee were Dr. E. A. Bond and Dr. Arthur Hicks. Faculty Committee Meets Pub Staff The publications luncheon, a quarterly get-together of the faculty publications committee and members of the publication staff of the Collegian and the Klipsun was held Wednesday in the Club room at Edens hall.

If not, college can be a place to spend four or more years so that you won't be forced to go out and meet the world as you should. When you make out your win- ^ ter quarter schedule, stop and try to make a pattern of your learning so that every hour spent in class will put you a little closer gt; to a well-rounded education. • - '•There is a proud smile today on the faces of. those who have worked, so hard to make the World Student Service Fund drive a success.

My breath came in gasps, and as I hurried along the dusk corridor, visions of a ghastly fate crowded into my numbed mind. My legs automatically carried me to my rendezvous; and when I reached the destination my body stiffened, prepared against the blast it was to receive. Then, as I slowly, shak-ingly opened the door, all by troubles and worries slipped away and I sank, unheeding, to the floor. Everything would be alright—I'd made the deadline Philippi Designing Sets at Michigan Herbert C. Philippi, son of the late Harry C. Philippi, science instructor, was in Bellingham earlier this fall. visiting his mother while on vacation from the University of Michigan, where for the past two years he has been designing the stage sets for the college drama - productions. He received his Master's degree in stage craft in 1940, after studying at Cornell University. Philippi always has interested in stage settings, alhough he practiced interior design for two years, in New York before working for his degree. Before going to Michigan, he worked at the McMurray College for Women for two years, where he designed, built, painted, and set up stage sets, helped by the students. At the University of Michigan he carried on the same kind of work in helping to produce about twelve shows a year. He enjoys doing the designing of the sets best of all his duties. Research Needed A great deal of research work is necessary in designing sets for a production. The play must first be read, the styles and scenes of the particular period carefully studied, and plans discussed with the director. In connection with this part of his work, Mr. Philippi makes frequent trips to New York where he visits numerous theaters and drama agencies, buying costumes and obtaining ideas for his own sets. With the man shortage, Philippi has done a great deal of his work this last year with all-women casts, their favorite play being "Comedy of Errors." An exception were four sailors from V-12 who were enrolled in his stage ,craft class. During the summer session, attended mainly by high school teachers, five shows were given in five weeks, the productions being "The Damask Cheek"; "Journey to Jerusalem"; "The Chocolate Soldier"; "Learned Ladies," a "more heavy drama by Molier, and a light comedy for contrast to end the season. The theater, in the Woman's League, seats 750 people and the plays are attended largely by townspeople, faculty ,and servicemen. Mr. Philippi is both surprised and pleased by the skill and initiative shown by the girls, who are taking over jobs such as stage managers, switchboard operators, and stage crews, formerly held by men students. Two of the well known women who studied drama at the University of Michigan are Rutjh Hus-sey, screen star; and Marthia. Scott, stage actress, now starring the Broadway production "Soldier's Wife." With the college running on a •' three semester basis, Mr. Philippi returned to Michigan, several weeks ••' ago to resume his duties. 0 ea mrm AWO Handbooks were passed out to all organized houses on the University of Washington campus, to confirm the rumor that University regulations restore the 2 a. m. weekend night permanently, for this year. Last year's unpopular • 1:30 nights have been discontinued. ' U. of Washington The Washington State College Coeds held a "Pinafore Party for Community Work," a party for the willing workers of YW. First and second prizes were awarded the girls who brought In the most money for YW and the house earning the most money also received a prize. The party was an open house affair and all girls who worked for the project were invited to attend. Admission to the party is a receipt for any work done. Among the girls working on the Committee heading work week was our own Mary German who attended here during the summer.

Some will receive their degrees however and leave the campus for good to take up jobs in their respective fields, and among those leaving this quarter is ERNIE LUDWICK. Ernie for three years has racked up a record in athletics at WWC that will be one of the most colorful in the all-time school sports annuals. For two consecutive years Lud was captain of the Viking basketball team, and also wore the Winco golf crown for two seasons. One of the finest ball players on the Vikings basketball team, in his three years of play here he was classed also as one of the smartest. Ernie is known as a good competitor and a player with a good heart for any activity he participates in. To you, ERNIE LUDWICK, right from the entire student body goes a hearty cheer and farewell. WHIDBY WILL BE TOUGH With what pre-game dope we have been able to gather at this time it all seems to add up to a scorcher of a ball game tomorrow night when the Navy Flyers from Whidby Island come to Bellingham with their guns flaming towards the Blue and White "Vitamin Kids." Last year the Navy lads had the strongest team Lapps boys ran into and -they will undoubtedly be equally as tough this year. Veteran HERE AND THERE Bill Ropes, the ex-WWC basketball and track man, has really been giving- ."Hitlers Boys" a bad time He has received two citations and a couple of Purple Hearts which isn't bad for one man Humors have it lately that the Vikings may lose some valuable gridiron material and the UW may gain some if Herb Witt moves to the Seattle campus at the end of the quarter. Bob Pavlicek is by far the speediest man on the maple courts in this vicinity........ After watching Hec Edmundson's two teams in action last Saturday, all yours truly can say is "Look out, Huskies, when you come to Bellingham." Chad Johnson will be the boy to keep your eye on as the season progresses.. This boy is a comer. Word has come through that Lt. Comd. O. D. Adams, an ex-WWC athlete, has been promoted to full Commander. Ensign R. W. Willis, a 6-ft 4-in. center for the Whidby Flyers who meet the Blue and White' Vikings tomorrow night in the WWC gym starting at 8 p. m., is a veteran of four years of college play at U.C.L.A. Whidby, who last year dumped the Viks three games, have another tough aggregation this season and will be out to keep last year's record intact. NICE WORK'FACULTY The interest shown thus far by the faculty men in aiding with the management of the gym and facilities the nights of our games has cast a new high in the spirit of the entire school. You're doing a million dollar job, Mr. Hearsey, Mr. Dutton, Mr.. Rice, MT. Bushell and Dr. Cederstrom keep it up. BRING THEM ON! This is the unanimous feeling on the Viking five in reference to the coming Washington State-Oregon series on tap December 19 and 20. The Vikings are going to be a tough team to beat this year and the Coast conference clubs know it, and will give all they have to keep from going down before the Blue and Whiters. My opinion is that Foster, Pavlicek, Wark, Severtson and Graham look better than any starting five in the Northwest and with Lapp's abundance of reserve strength we should be hovering the .top at the end of the year. • . \ Tro****BITS Ray Chapman will be a big boost under the backboard tomorrow night against Whidby........ Lloyd Jones is doing a darn good job as yell king at our games Would some one like to handle the record player at the games?.. If so, see Mr. Lappenbusch... When Jerry Pells gets a few wrinkles ironed out in his play he will be a dangerous man under the hoop........ Haines Fay is looking awfully good as a retriever under those hoards ..Roy Wark got off on the right foot to start out the season. He has always been a potential ball player and up to this season has seemed to lack confidence in himself Ralph NurmL who has been rumored as being in Alaska, is still in the Everett school system. Ex-Viking Wins Silver Star Word has been received this past week from the South Pacific that Leonard Barnhill an ex-WWC athlete has been awarded the Silver Star for gallantry and disrespect of his own safety while in action against the Japanese. Leonard was one of Lapp's outstanding linnemen in '42 and also won himself a second in the Winco in track, participating in the mile. His home was in Skykomish where he was also outstanding in athletics ,and school affairs. Barney also was a fine basketball player, and starred in the intramural program here. He was a unanimous choice on the '42 intramural all-stars. Barnhill plans to return to college as soon as the war is over. Congratulations, ; Leonard, from WWC.

The Thunderbirds, displaying some fine basketball, ran the score to 20-6 in the first few minutes of play. Ole Bakkin, 6-ft. 5-in. center for the birds scored 12 points in the first 8 minutes, dropping 'em in with a hookshot from around the keyhole. The Vikings finally came to life and pulled up to within 4 points, 20 to 16 at the quarter mark. The Canadian team just xjouldn't miss the basket however, and walked off the floor at half time leading 37 to 29. Starting the second half, the Vikings came out all fired up and played good ball for a while, but the UBC team ran them off their feet and scored consistently on a fast break. Sivertson and Wark were high for the blue and white, scoring 15 and 10 points respectively. Robertson and Bakkin led the Thun-derbird attack, counting 18 points apiece.

Well, it looks like old St. Nick finally is about to arrive, at long last. Say, Bob, have you decided what you're going to get Suzy for that special day and hey Pat, how about you, do you have any idea what you're going to give that sailor brother (?) of yours???? Here are Just a few suggestions that your little old reporer happened to pick up: Sugegstions to. the Boys: How about one of those cute friendship bracelets, that all the girls are swooning over?....You know every girl loves jewelry, especially if it's kinda personal. And all you "Gables"! What about giving the gal a break and give her a nice big photo of yourself (if lyou cant get anyone else). Oh, not one of those great big things, just a little one hat she can carry in her wallet or put on her dresser. At least, you'll never be out of sight %o you can't be out of mind. For that Sinatra fan, how about a nice new record of some ultra smo-o-oth song. Anyway, a little mood music never hurt anybody.... or did it? Then, of course, you always can buy her a bottle of Cologne or perfume (if you can find it). Or some of those unmentionables...well, you can always get your sister to buy them. Tips to Girls: Ties, ties, ties....what else re- 'minds men of Christmas more than ties? After all, what do they get more of? But they still make nice presents....if you happen to pick out one he likes ...old reliables, anyway. Pictures are nice, top. If the boys can give theirs away, then so can the girte 'Course you dont have to pose pin-up type he probably has enough of those in his room now, but simply a sweet picture of his favorite girl....YOU..... If you just can't think of anything to get him, why don't you simplify it all and give him a gift certificate. You can buy them at practically any men's store (one that I know of in particular) and that way you just can't go wrong. I'll just whisper this next sug-gestion.... does he smoke? Naturally, then whftt about a cigarette lighter? You may have a little trouble finding them but it's still a nice thought....by the way if you do find one, let me know where, will you? And last but by no means least, hell love you to pieces if you give him a pack....(?) U-NO-What... Strictly No. 1 girl on his list...

He writes, "We really haven't had any fresh food since the latter part of August and have run out of canned food v for the past month and a half. The canned food ran out so now we are on canned rations or the so-called K and G rations. Can you imagine me, a true epicurean and a connoisseur of good food, living on biscuits and pUIs?" In, another part of his letter he says, "During the long evenings our radioman has been picking up a few radio stations for us and they really are interesting because we can pick up Japan, Philippine Islands, Australia, etc. It is fun listening to the Jap propaganda. But never - you fear, the job of exterminating the Japs out here is a long way off and will be a Hercu-lanean task when the time comes." Apparently Dick is still keeping his school teaching in mind for he also wrote that there were two men aboard who could neither read nor write and that he was helping them with their fundamental work. Asking Mrs. May Lovegren about her sons who are in the service, we got this reply: "C/M Frank J. Lovegren, who attended WWC for a couple of years, was here for the big homecoming game, dance, luncheon, etc. Frank is stationed at Indian Island near Port Townsend. He is in the Seabees." Her other son, Lew, who is a second Lieutenant in the Aviation Ordnance Division, has just arrived in India. He reports the weather is fine, he had a wonderful trip and he gets a thrill out of the people. He and his roommate have a 12-year old boy named Muncie, who is their bearer. Mun-cie waits on the boys and cleans their room. The boys were really surprised one day when Muncie came to work in a purple shirt hanging to his ankles.

All we do' is ramble on in hopes of an inspiration and when we have concluded it, as Robert Browning once said, "only two men knew what my writing meant when I wrote it, God. and I; now only one Person knows, 'God.'" Well, this is the last time that •. I will arise from my typewriter and laboriously dig myself out and shape my" legs, until winterquar-ter rolls" around, next Jan. 2, THE END: Sometime tomorrow two of our students will be united in marriage. Don Neal, a jovial fellow, . opened his sagacious lips and uttered this pearl of prophetic wisdom to the college single men, "A word to the wise is sufficient. That is to say, married life is the only thing. "It's nursy," says big Don. Being on the serious side for a moment, this writer wishes Don ond his most gracious bride to be, Frances Benson, a member of the Junior-Senior class, native of Hoquiam, and one of the college's finest products, a rousing send-off of good wishes and success, upon their entry onto the sea of matrimony.. • IT LIGHTS THE WAY: Few students, far. too few, ever realize the awesome magnitudes that a student publication may possess. It. usually is a lasting, digest.of the news and-views of .... the day as' recorded by the students. "* Even the thought*of its potentialities is terrifying in extension and indescribable in dimensions. ' Of a paper can be made either a mOntsrous, rebelling orge or a . budding sympathetic geni, untrue or true. The Collegian staff has endeavored to pursue the only worthy end . . . truth. By oversight and pure negligence they may sometimes have fallen short of their goal. But each succeeding time, they, under the capable hands of their editor and adviser, have resolved to better their policy. Those who have a. tendency to criticise should think, before they speak. The staff is comprised mainly of neophytes, who are doing themselves proud. Along with the editor, the majority of them are carrying a.full load of school work. In bowing out for the remainder of the year, let's give the staff a deserved vote of appreciation. Don't get the idea they don't need criticism, they do, but it would be much better to tell them face to face. ' • . • FISH SLEEP! In answer to the out of the ordinary question, "Do fish sleep?" the answer is—they do. This bit of nautical knowledge was conveyed to. us by the local fish hatchery after our faculty was momentarily stimied by the odd question. It seemed that Jean Orphan had met a navy man, who was an intellectual Barney Jones, who had a friend in Miami that said "Fish sleep." Anxious to verify this, Pete Yorkus, sailor, tried to obtain the information from our faculty. .-• None of them could give -him a. definite answer. Even though a navy veteran stumped our faculty, we enjoyed, this interesting contribution to Our collegiate side-life. ^6;^ there it is, gang, -so-long until "next quarter! Dr. Arthur C Hicks, registrar, recently returned from two conferences, the first on December 1 and 2 at Cheney, .and the second on December 4 and 5 at Spokane. The conference at Cheney was composed of members from the three Teachers Colleges of this state, namely Cheney, Ellensburg and WWC. The results of the discussion were a number of recommendations for the joint solution of common problems, the two out- Dr. Arthur C. Hicks standing ones being the attraction of • superior students for elementary teaching, and extending the period of training for teachers in this field. The conference at Spokane was attended by 53 registrars from colleges all over the state. The topic of discussion here concerned the returning veterans of this war who will wish to continue, their education. The facts are that one thousand veterans a month are now being released in the state of Washington. At the fall of Germany (Continued on Page Four) Opening Schedule Plans Complete The opening week for the Winter quarter has been scheduled as follows: Monday, January 1—New Year's day holiday. Tuesday, January 2—Registration day and the day the classes will begin. Thursday, January 4—Interclub Council meeting in room 108 at 4 p . m . . Friday, January 5 — Basketball game in the evening. All students are expected to be in attendance on Tuesday of open-, ing week.

Both of these musicians are well known, as they have played over the radio and de Rimanoczy is concert master of the Seattle Symphony orchestra and the Vancouver, B. C, Symphony orchestra. Their program was as follows: "Sonata in A major for violin and piano,' (Beethoven); "Praeludium," (MacDowell); and "Fileuses pres de Carantee," (Rhene-^Baton), piano solos by Mr. Swartz; "Rondo," (Mo-zart- Kreisler); and "Tzigane" (Ravel). Before the program began the audience was caroled with several Christmas numbers by the college choir, led by Nils Boson. Flash!!

Edens Girls Show Christmas Spirit At Service Party Christmas Open House Proves Huge Success; One Boy Shows Appreciation Through Poetry Recalling Familiar Scenes By BETTY DODGE Ask any Edens hall girl what the true meaning of Christmas is, and she'll tell you! It means doing things for others with no thought of selfish gain. It means working hard and giving up precious time to make, someone happy; It means to stand silently and humbly instead of glorying in the success of bringing cheer to someone—not only on Christmas but throughout the year. It means to wish with all your heart that there was more in* your power that could be done to bring joy to others. . Yes, Edens hall girls learned something about the true meaning of the Christmas spirit when they gave their Fireside for service men last Sun* day. One glance about the crowded, Christmas be-decked room was enough to show that. For a«fellow who hasn't been home for one, two, or even three Christmases, or who is being shipped out the next day, just smelling the evergreens and watching the tree lights was fun—to say nothing of joining in the carols sung around the piano, playing games, dancing, munching pop-corn, and enjoying good food, After all it's the little things.that really count, the homey touches that mean Christmas to every household—the things that service men miss the most. How much the fireside meant to each fellow can't be measured by any yardstick. There is no way to measure joy in the human heart. This poem written by one of the fellows may help to express what, was in the hearts of all. Dutton Attends State Guidance Committee Meet in Seattle W. H. Dutton, psychology instructor, was in Seattle Wednesday, December 13,. attending a meeting at Lincoln High School of the Pacific Northwest Guidance Association.

Christmas Tradition Include Caroling Campus School, children have been observing the Christmas spirit this week in an interesting and different way. The rooms are decorated as usual, but contrary to the old tradition of carolling to various rooms, the program has been arranged, this year so that when the students arrive at school in the morning they can gather in the auditorium and sing carols. By 9 a. m. the whole school has usually gathered there, around a large, decorated Christmas tree. /Thursday morning at 10:45 in the Campus School auditorium an assembly for the elementary, grade and junior high combined was presented.

Now as the old year is about to Yield Suggestions become history and the future becomes the present, the time comes when we all begin to turn over in our minds the great things we shall do in 1945. Every new year is begun with renewed. hope and determination as the individual strives to better himself. It is too {ate now to correct the mistakes of 1944; time will not come back so that we may rectify our errors. But we can profit by our mistakes and if you now find yourself wishing you had studied* harder there is a quarter still be- . fore you in which you may prove your worth. , Every one should have an ideal towards which he is constantly climbing. Our resolutions help to bring us a little closer to our ambitions. But above all, when we make out . iier teeth are comto^out.

We owe it to our boys and I'm sure we are willing to make our resolutions complement theirs. It is the sacred duty of all of us to work even harder in 1945 for a democratic peace. Season's Snoopings As I was wandering through the Student Lounge the other day I heard different kids discussing Santa Claus and what they wanted most for Christmas. Every one wanted, first of all, for ttjehvar to end; but they tfid'have a few other suggestions for Santa.

Lapps' charges will be in top shape for the affair and the bigger Coast conference boys better be at their very best is they expect to do battle with the "Vitamin Kids." AND DONT THINK I AM STICKING MY NECK OUT WHEN I SAY THAT I EXPECT TWO WWC VICTORIES. Yours truly has watched the Vikings all this year and I believe it is one of the better ball clubs in the history of the school. WSC has a fairly balanced ball team, but as a team as a whole, I think the hill-toppers have the edge. Vince Hansen, the Cougar backboard expert, has been writing quite a name for himself in early season games, but he will have more than his hands full when he locks horns with Gene Sivertson. Against both Oregon and Washington State Bobby Pavlicek, the local speedball, will undoubtedly give the boys a real chase up and down the floor and unless they can produce anything faster than what we have seen so far this season, he will have a field day in the scoring column. Rennik a£d Joslin for the Staters are steady baUhawks and are able to score frequently but will have more on their hands than they bargained for in Wark, Graham, and Johnson. And for bringing 'the ball down the floor, they wOI be unable to bring to BeHingham any be'tter field manhals than Foster and Murray. You'cant name a team in the Northwest that can match the Vikings in reserve strength. Take a look—Ray Chapman, Haines Pay, "Murray Stanley, Jim Gilday, Jerry Pells and Dale Burklund. All in all, the coming week looks very profitable for the Vikings. ' • ' # - PATS AND SLAPS How did you sport fans like the results of the Whidby UW basketball game last Friday night at Whidby.

Yankees Swap Two for Clarie Viking fan and who has been a real ks that this year's team is as strong Sam Carver's Record Outstanding Now that the school year of 1944- 45 is well under way, it's time that the name of Sam Carver is brought to the attention of the new students of WWC. Being a quiet, modest sort of an individual, Sam is the head of all intramural sports, and coach of the varsity track and golf teams. For the past ten years his golf competitors have fairly breezed through league play, to walk off with the championship. Always one that's more than will-ing to help others with their problem, or deliver some of his good sound advice to someone, Sam is constantly visited by students who are in need of his aid. (in case you would care to see Coach Carver, just take a tour .around the PE building and you should find him at practically any time of the day. Aside from his many other aspects, Sam is widely known throughout the Northwest and BeHingham as a greaat builder of character, honesty and clean sportsmanship.

The backbone of;the Cougar's squad is composed of Mort Joslin, Vince Hanson, Bob Rennick. Joslin is a senior and captain, with four years experience, he has lead the Cougars in scoring in preseason games. Vince Hanson is the heighth of the ball club, towering six feet nine inches, he gives them plenty of backboard strenth, and little Bob Rennick, fireball guard who last year took third-place in scoring in the Northern'division. The Oregon Webfeet, coached by John Warren have a strong well balanced team with plenty oif height. The Ducks have already played nine games on their schedule and will have a couple more under their belts before taking on the Vikings.

White it is whether it be the art of frost or snow-^these crisp, snappy days lend that certain touch to the Christ-masy atmosphere which has been ever so evident on the campus. Kinda makes one wish to stay in Bellingham over the Holidays. Tis a thought but "ye old home town" is always best—Wherever we go let's all try to capture the Christmas Spirit—And most of all when we're opening those gifts or diggin' into that turkey let's pause for a minute, shall we? We can. each take the time to make the silent wish that every GI Joe will be in. his own home by this time next year. Merry Christmas, everyone ! '. FUN AND FROLIC Many Christmas parties have been enjoyed by the members of various staffs in WWC during the past two weeks. Members of the Presidents office staff shared their Christmas cheer with the staff of the business office last Saturday night at a party given by Miss Ethel Church. Honorary guests were Dr. Lucy Kangley, Mrs. Orpha Christenson, Dr. W. W* Haggard, and Mr. Thomas Hunt. Singing, games and an exchange of gifts added true Christmas spirit to the occasion. A tray luncheon at Edens Hall last Thursday was enjoyed by the extension department. It was a combination Christmas party and farewell to Mrs. Vida Greenleaf, research department worker, who is leaving. Ice cream and cake was served, and a gift was presented to Mrs. Greenleaf. Miss Wilson also entertained the library staff with a Christmas party last week. Games and refreshments highlighted the evening. MORE HICKS (Continued from Page One) the rate will increase to ten thousand, and after the fall of Japan, fifteen thousand. Colleges will have to be ready to accommodate this influx, both, by having a well staffed faculty and by promulgating a comprehensive guidance program. The post war planning by the colleges is of vital interest to all students of this institution who are considering teaching as a profession, and it is hoped, that the discussions of the conferences will be of great value to the plans for the future of education in this state. nMUQVLUm+mlrh Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co of Bellingham Bornstein - Houser Sea Foods Largest Assortment of Sea Foods in the Northwest CENTER OF HOME MARKET PHONE 882 FACULTY FLASHES— This week we saw: Dr. Kangley and Miss Ullin downtown doing some last minute shopping.
