This time last year we would have said goodbye to them with a t r a c e of finality in our voice . . . but with the new degrees that WWC can now c o n f e r we are confident that we will be seeing many of their faces around for a while to come. .

Infant Proteges Moblo Ends Career Open Contest Winners of the all-college Baby Revue sponsored by the local March of Dimes committee will be announced and presented at a regular assembly in late January. Prizes contributed by local merchants will be presented to winners during the program. Contestants' pictures will be taken through the courtesy of Jukes'Studio and will be loaned to the Baby Revue for exhibition purposes. Appointments will be made from 1 to 3 p. m., between January 5-9 at the convenience of parents. Dick King, appointed chairman of the college section of the citywide March- of Dimes by the local committee, has appointed Barbara Ritchie as general chairman of the Revue. Parents desiring to enter their children in the contest are requested to contact Miss Ritchie or leave their names in the WW Collegian office. Bob Moblo, pep band maestro, will resign his position when he graduates at the end of this quarter. Promoting and keeping the band going for the rest of the school year will be Larry Prigg and Fred De Bruler. Prigg will handle the music, style and arrangements; De Bruler will front the band, be general manager, and give out in the vocal department. "We, the band, appreciate the fine cooperation given to us in our infant stages," thanked Moblo. "Starting a band is rugged; we received plenty of help from the student body and the faculty in their appreciative attitude toward us." he added. Expanding further, Moblo prophesied, "If the band keeps working as they have, they should soon rank with any Washington band, professional or otherwise." During each remaining quarter, the band will entertain at a student assembly. It will retain its original members, including canary Pat Paull. Daniels Pre-exam Throws Fete Daniels hall held its annual Christmas dinner for 44 occupants and guests in the Daniels hall dining room Monday evening.

John Terry, hall president; Mel Lindbloom, secretary-treasurer; and Jim Beasley, social chairman, were in charge of the evening's affairs. Annual Christmas Assembly Reviewed By Student Critic By BOB MOBLO A "Grande Finale" to this quarter's Artist and Lecture series came Tuesday when the Music department presented an extravaganza of talent. The program proved beyond a doubt that our musical organizations are well worth hearing. The College Concert band, led by Mr. Walter, opened the program with "Christmas Rhapsody," a beautiful medley of seasonal songs performed in grand style. The instru- Last Chance Any students who have helped with registration and who would like to work on January 5 please see Miss Kingsley in the Registrar's office the early part of next week. Students who will not be at their home addresses during the Christmas vacation and wish to have their grades sent elsewhere should leave a change of address in the Registrar's office.

The second number ,"Yule-tide selections," was the most difficult and was ,the least worthy of praise. Although each of the many carols contained in the number were well done, the transitions between them were uncertain in the lead instruments. One out-of-tune oboe clouded the presentation of "We Three Kings"; however, an oboe is probably the most difficult instrument to play in tune and considering the nervous tension of the player such error is excusable. The Concert band as a whole has shown definite possibilities and a sincerity that is admirable. New Quartet The String Quartet, a new organization, put forth a fine performance of the difficult Tschaikowski number "Andante Cantabile." Dr. D'- Andrea, lead violin, presented his usual brilliant performance though it was felt that at times he was mentally playing all the instruments at once. The blend was professionally done, especially in the melody popularly known as "Moon Love," but at times the viola was a bit too loud for the other instruments. The group composed of Norma Jean Swan, Lia Chiorando, and Jeanne Hinthorne displayed fine talent in their ability to follow the lead violin precisely. Wanting in the whole piece, however, was the great amount of feeling that v was installed into it by Tschaikowsky. .

Ominous New Year Looms on Horizon In the year of our Lord 1947 the faint murmur of "Peace on earth, good.will toward man" barely manages to prove audible over the constant controversies, disputes, and arguments, both in philosophy and divinity that run rampant throughout the world today. A world that was created in the beginning to serve as home for all mankind in reality seems to be coming a nest of vultures that prey on the original concepts of (Peace on earth, good will toward man." The almost utter rejection of the basic values of God are as much in evidence today as thev are in the history of mankind's frequent periods of conflicts dating from earliest history to the year 1947. The asp that whispered in .the ear of Eve is still tempting humanity and waxing fat on the ill bred seeds of contention and strife that it finds so easy to sow. and so profitable to reap in the uncultivated minds of man. The heat generated from such contention is threatening to envelope the world In 4conflagration that Will spell the end to all mankind as it exists today. Quite a parodoxical heat it is from that which brooded on the waters and in six days hatched the worl'd that gave birth to man. 1948 looms omniously before us instead of being greeted wi'th joyful protestations of acceptance of the intrinsic values of God and the recognition of all-important rights of His creatures whereever or whoever they are by every man whoever or wherever he is. It looms omniously because man does not display and live up to the precepts of his inherent nature. It looms ominously not because the basic values of man have undergone change, but because man and nations of men have chosen to interpret His wishes differently. The year 1948 must not travel the rocky, strife riddled road down which so many of its predecessors have been forced to flee.' Man can absorb much of the punishment himself by practicing all through the year what he professes at Christmas time . . . Peace on earth, good will toward man. Campi News . . . Here's something new!

The Christmas assembly held last Tuesday was very well presented; however, the applause accorded each number was very distracting to the performers and many students in the audience. To myself and many others the applause tended to destroy the atmosphere of reverence for which the assembly was intended. College students s h o u ld know better than this. Those who don't should have at least read the notice in their program asking them not to applaud. I do not know what visitors thought of the students' lack of proper attention, but I am sure it was not favorable. I sincerely hope that students will realize their discourtesy and not let it happen again. Yours for better cooperation at assemblies, 5 . gt;.-,• DISGUSTED, x 9M^iM^^0W The college has increased in size, bringing students here from all over the country, but a few of these students must be taking a postgraduate course from Walla Walla. A few students have found that it isn't safe to leave their locker unlocked over in the gym, and they have had their billfolds stripped. These lowly characters had better realize that they aren't fooling anyone but themselves -and that they are jeopardizing their college education as well as their life in committing these foul deeds. Let's hope they knock this stuff off before they get their heads bashed in. TWO GUYS AND A CLUB!

Though the vibrato was a little too wide for a small auditorium, her voice was clear and soft as fitting a beautiful hymn. Dorothy Chatter-ton did an excellent job of accompanying the talented soprano. The entrance of the College Male Quartet brought a few giggles from the audience,' when ^ight f e et 'clomped' in single file across the stage. However, when the singing started a hush fell upon the crowd and all listened intently to "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" and "Sweet Little Jesus Boy." The first number was up to their usual excellent performance except that the humming background to a baritone solo was slightly too loud. The second number lacked unity in spots, but was a difficult number well done. Pat Wright Pat Wright, soprano, offered the beautiful Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria." Unfortunately the accompaniment often drowned the fine voice of Miss Wright. Much of her excellent quality was lost behind the accompaniment and the key, being slightly out of range, added to the listener's discomfort; however. Miss Wright is one of our most talented singers and should be, given every opportunity to prove it. Ending the program was the fine College a capella choir. The splendid work of this organization is well known to all the student body and no bouquets from this source could, add any honor to those heaped upon the shoulders of their director, Mr. Regier.

Mr. and Mrs. Stearns were host and hostess at a very lovely banquet Sunday evening. How that food disappeared! Even our most energetic eaters, such as Jim Loring and Doug Bailey, were filled to capacity. Mrs. Stearns arranged a very nice program for us after which we had dessert. Caroling was next in order with voices from Don Pink's bass to Ben Carey's tenor and some which might be classified as just voices. When we met the Harborview girls on the way, we decided we couldn't begin to compete with them so we went home to listen to them instead. Thanks girls, it was really very nice. We enjoyed the Edens hall early morning songs, too, even though we were terribly sleepy. Charlie "Abie" McRae thought he'd gone to heaven . . . Now for vacation and -Mom's cooking. (Somehow it's better than dorm food.) Friday Harbor, Hoquiam, Woodland, Vancouver, Seattle and all the other places will welcome Hospice Inners home and if those little cards we get during vacation aren't too bad, well see you next quarter , . . A very Merry Christmas to you all from the men of Hospice hall! Men's Residence Hall Here it is—the day everyone is going home for the Christmas holidays. The oP campus will really be lonesome with all the students gone Exams are finally over! "WWC has never seen a happier bunch of students." (quote by Al "Hairless" Harris). We hope you all come out with straight "A's." Well, we can dream.can't we? When asked what he thought of the tests, Glen Meece said, "The one at 1 o'clock, I didn't like at all." (Glen is one of the fortunate people taking History.) Phyllis Threlkeld didn't think her tests were too bad. When Don Sayan was asked what he wanted for Christmas all he could say was "I want a new goldfish." What did the boys do with your other fish, Don? Don Olson would certainly be pleased if he got a letter from Mr. Hearsey (ol' Santa himself) for Christmas saying he topped the frosh class in the library test. Marg Symonds wants a table reserved for her in the lounge next quarter. Evidently she's planning to spend a lot of time there. Russ Hilton would kinda' like a good grade in Psychology. Some books to study all vacation is Shirley Hammer's only request. "I don't want nobody or nothin'," was Wayne Flaherty's reply when asked what he wanted Santa to bring him. What's wrong, Wayne, antisocial? Owen Brown doesn't care what he gets as long as she's under six feet. Bob Huggins wants another date. Who with, Bob, or should we ask? We hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you next year. Well, as they say about the border line between Finland and Sweden, it's the Finnish line. "What are you doin Christmas vacation?" was a familiar question asked by this reporter in the lounge as the news dead- OuGGH FoT A DsY line drew near Friday noon. Among the many answers was that \^Utsci / of Jean Travenshek, who is going to Seattle and possibly to Mt. j ^ g^ Baker with Phyllis Threlkeld and Irene Jorgensen. Sounds like f|§§§| fun. Another of our ski fans, Marion Nattrass, wants a new ski 1IH1I jacket for Christmas to go with the skis Santa is bringing her. I wonder how many of us heard Mary Ann Call and Pat McGinnis at the Grand last week-end; good comic wasn't it, girls? That's all for now . . . Merry Christmas! Christmas caroling was met with a little sleepiness and surprise here. Hope you girls from Edens' didn't feel slighted when oral of the boys asked you to "come back at night." . . . But we were all awake for Harborview's caroling—and then some! . . . Well, the big tests are finally over, and here's hoping the registrar's office will hold up those grades until after the holidays. I t wouldn't be a fit gift for some of us . . . Something else we found out this last week: there are a few who do read our house news. And my reason for not mentioning too many names: ( ). That's as good a reason as any, isn't it? . . . Another very heart-rending bit of news is that we hear "ye olde house scribe" and prexy (one and the same) is leaving us for a short time. (I should know—that's me!) . . . And that should be that for this year . . . Here's wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a bright and Happy New Year!

Harborview Harborview went caroling Sunday night; everyone had a fine time. Rosie Roberts, who was in charge of the food at our Christmas party following the caroling, was utterly bewildered when she saw how fast her "oh soooo delicious" food was consumed by the hungry mob. We, the weaker sex of Harborview, say goodbye to Tom Smith and Ralph Peyton, who have been our mascots for the past quarter. It seems that they now "have a fine apartment on Garden street. It has been.peaceful all week here. When someone isn't studying she is passed out. Exhaustion and silliness are the synonyms for Harborviewites this week. We certainly hope that all this studying will prove to be of some use in the final marks. We all have our fingers crossed, arid if we study much more our eyes will soon match them! Edens Hall Exams are creeping up on us, and after exams comes our Merry Christmas from the faculty. Sik of the fga% from Edens are leaving at the end of the quarter and we hope that there aren't any others who are forced to leave . . . We are happy to report that Dorothy Grudger is improving in the hospital and will probably be able to go home for Christmas . . .

And who was the gal who said "goodnight" to J o e ? ' . . . Claire Wilson get quite a few telephone calls. The change of phone numbers didn't bother you at all, did it, Claire? . . .

Three thousand five hundred fans watched the Purple and Gold unfold various plays that dazzled the smaller Vikings. Stan Peterson leaped into the fray with enthusiasm, exchanging baskets with Sammy White for the Westerners only tie throughout the game. Nichols, center for the Huskies, was-in his usual form scoring 12 of the universities 67 points to take high point honors. Vanderberg and Sammy White, the two forwards for the Seattleites, were next on the scoring list with 11 points apiece. Starr Stars Jerry Starr, Vik forward, led the hilltoppers on points, sinking 9 of the final 36. He played heads-up ball, breaking through the Husky defense for some valiant ^attempts. Tipster for the Blue and White. Moose Zurline, used his size to good advantage under the hoop, his eye was in average shape also, 7 points. Coach Art McLarney didn't pull his first five off the floor until he was assured of a fine lead. 39-18 saw the Husky reserves pour onto the maples. The U. of W. having size to their advantage as well as experience, it was comparatively easy for them to break through a stubborn Viking defense. £hai(jltt "flow lite Bench . . . by peters THE SIL VER Y SKI SLOPES OF MT. BAKER How many of you people know that Mt. Baker is considered as having about the best skiing terrain in the U. S.? Just a little more than an hour's drive from home . . . surely you must have heard something about it. There is only one thing wrong with Baker, it's too far off the beaten path for most people. .Stuck way up here in the corner—people ptst can't afford to go so far to ski. But still it is recognized as one of the best. Now then take a look at Central Washington college. They have lots of snow over there, but those "slopes" they ski on are much inferior. Yet that doesn't deter Central from organizing a ski team, and from lining up meets for it. Now there you have it, what I've been driving at—a ski team. It's going to take initiative and some hard work to get something like this worked up—but it can be done.^ If some sort of a tentative program can be worked out and some ski enthusiasts signed up things could go on from there. When the squad is put down as a definite thing a part-time instructor could be signed on. As for this year there would, most likely, be no meets, but next season we would be rarin to go. A program of this sort woidd not necessarily detract from the membership of the College Ski club. It would probably add to it, and Western Washington would be all out to fulfill the theme "expansion" in' the New Era. (How about a letter to the editor on this subject?) * Tonight the inexperienced team of the Seattle Pacific college will be lined up to take on the Vikings at the Garrigan gym at 8 p. m. Probably a handicap to the Hilltop boys will be the smaller floor of the gym. Another 'tough luck' will be Dan Rosser and his cut eye. Dan ran into another player Monday afternoon and had to have three stitches taken over his eye. SPC's most potent men are Magee and Howell. • The latest dirt of the proposed return Louis-Walcott match is pretty well fouled up. Joe Louis doesn't want to say whether he plans to fight Walcott or Gus Lesnevich, light-heavyweight champ. The champion gave forth with six statements, probably the most important of them being that he definitely plans but one more bout in which to defend his title. He has left it up to the 20th Century club to decide his opponent. He also mentioned that Lesnevich has a good chance of facing him in the summer for the title shot. When Jersey Joe got wind of this he was disappointed. "I earned the right to fight Louis again," Walcott remarked. "I always considered him a great champion and a fine sportsman but now with him talking about meeting Lesnevich instead of •fWpi don?t know." The Walcott spokesman came out with this: ~^|?looks;as if Louis is anxious to retire as a champion. He is tliinkirig of the money he can get in various enterprises afterwards. The best way for him to retire as champion is to fight Lesnevich instead of Walcott." * Washington State basketball coach Jack Friel gave out with a good word for the cage officials. He said that he "wouldn't referee a college basketball game if they gave me a whole gymnasium." Now he has a system . 4 . It's a pre-game clinic on the rules to acquaint the crowd with the referee's procedure during the contest. • LEAGUE LOG . . . Central Washington will be all set to go when they play their first league game. Eleven of their letter-men have returned this year to. play under coach Leo Nicholson. Last season the Wildcats wound up their playoffs with 21 victories and three defeats, tying Eastern Washington for the Winko crown. Last Saturday the Washington State Cougars proved to be too powerful for the Central squad as they drove through in a strong second half offensive to set the tally at 54 to 41. Using a fast break the Seattle college five defeated Willamette 49-38, Saturday, for the teams first win of the season after three losses. The night before Willamette had tangled with Central and lost 72 to 53. To start out with the College of Puget Sound Loggers were just about as hot as a ball club could get without burning up— that was for about ten minutes. Then coach Art McLarney's Huskies took over and held their lead throughout the rest of the game. Final score, 63 to 30. ; * QUICKEST KAYO IN THE HISTORY OF ST, NICHOLAS arena was in Rocco Rossano's bout with Nava Esparza. Mexican Esparza went down for the count after two punches and 26 seconds. He was so dazed that after he was helped out of the ring he seized his own waterbucket and climbed right back in to await the next fighter. THE PASTIME BELLINGHAM'S MOST SPLENDIDLY APPOINTED CAFE JOE PAGLIA -... DON CAIRNCROSS mj; Phone 982 Spring Sports Set At Conference "Spring quarter promises to be a big sports quarter. ' Golf, tennis, track, and baseball all being on the schedule. .These are all major sports this year, too, so it should add interest." said Charles F. Lappen-busch, director of athletics. Lappy had just returned from Seattle where the WINCO league drew up their sports schedules for the remainder of this year, and football next year. Baseball and track have full league schedules. Tennis and golf are to be much stronger this year also. The dates for the four sports will be published early next quarter. Baseball opens the second week of April in Cheney, that date is set. Here is the 1948 football schedule, with the open dates to be filled as fast as possible. Sept. 18 open. Sept. 25 open. Oct. 2, Central here. Oct. 9 open. Oct. 16, Whitworth here. a Oct. 23, Eastern there. Oct. 30, St. Martins there. Nov. 6 open. Nov. 13, Pacific Lutheran here. Victorious "A's Take Stand Fall quarter champs—Hospice A. It was a tough fight, but Hospice A came out victorious. They started at a terrific rate, and it didn't look as if they would be caught. Six teams drew up, took a quick look and fell out on the last day. It was fitting that, this should be the week for close games, as there were six teams that had a chance for the title. Hospice A won the championship by a mere four pins. In the first game the Tramps were beat 645 to 647 total tins, while, in the second it was 652 to 654. This you could call slivering it through. Men's hall No. 1 took second place by virtue of the same number of pins. This time it was the Collegians who lost. Total pins of the first game was 726 to 723, and the second 786 to 785. In the rest of the tjames Sehome took three from Daniels; Mens hall No. 2 won three from the Alley Cats; Hospice B won three forfeit games; and Mathes measured Lapp's for three. This week's golden throne goes to Morris Rowland of Men's hall No. 1 for his 194 game. Sitting on the first step is Ron Sodergren of the Collegian with 186. High two-game toca), Don Foster for his 338. Lapp's had the high game total with 801 and high team total for the two games also captured by Lapp's with 1565. Oddly enough, Lapp's for all of their high totals lost three games; caused by handicaps, which are very nice to have, unless the; shoe is on the other foot. This winds up bowling for this quarter. Everybody will start with o's in their won and lost columns next year and another tough fight is predicted. Final Standings: Hilltoppers to Tangle With Falcon Five The Viking quintet will attempt another smash victory over the Seattle Pacific Falcons in the Seattle Prep gym tonight to bring to two games, their winnings over the southenders. The Falcons have shown a great improvement since their first conflict with the Viks on December 3, and only recently lost a fairly close,, hard fought game against St. Martin's to the tune of 65-56. Because of the considerably smaller floor on Southend Staggered By Wino Power Photo by Bernie Lapeskia December 5;saw Seattle College, favored by ten points, fall at the hands' of the Viks. Moose Zurline isvshown here swishing one for the Westerns, while Tommy:Oswald, No. 14, looks on. Clayton, Partlow, Svidran Cop All Conference Grid Honors Walt Clayton, WWC letterman end from Hoquiam, has been chosen as all-conference left end in the Winko league football poll taken of the coaching staffs at the six conference schools. Although Clayton was the only Vik player to receive a first team position, Hal Partlow of Bellingham, ,and Art Svidran of Buckley, received positions on the second team, also chosen by the staffs. Clayton finished his second season of football at Western this year and received the greatest amount of credit due him by being on the receiving end of '•some" spectacular passes in the Eastern game. Walt played high school ball for Elmer Huhta at Hoquiam and received s o m e valuable experience while there. As for stature, he weighs in at 200 lbs., and stands at 6 ft. 1 in. He is married, has a baby girl, and is 24 years old. The Clayton family live at Huntoon Drive. Hal Partlow, chosen as second team right end, is a Bellingham man with (strange as it seems) no high school ball-handling behind him. His outstanding game of the season was probably against PLC. Coach Lappy stated recently that if Hal could have completed the whole season as well as he did the PLC game, he would have had an outstanding chance for the conference first-string. At 22 years old, Hal stands six feet tall and balances the springs at 195. He is married and lives with his wife at Huntoon. The second team right halfback position as chosen by the coaches is filled by Art Svidran of Buckley, another high school ball player. Although this is Art's first year of playing at Western, he played freshman ball at Washington State college last year. He is 19 years old, 6 feet tall, and weighs 185 pounds. Art is not married and lives at Daniels hall. . The first and second team choices as announced by W. B. (Red) Reese, director of athletics at Eastern Washington college and Winko conference president were as follows: which the teams will engage, the Falcons might hold a slight edge over the hilltoppers if a zone defense is used. At any rate, a much faster game of ball can be expected than was shown in the previous game when the Viks rolled to a 59-32 victory with no apparent exertion of power.

Impressive Display Adds Attractions Another feature has been added to the already impressive display of the late Kerr Eby's collection of artists drawings and sketches now being exhibited in the art gallery of WWC. Miss Hazel Plympton has revealed that the Art department has received photos of a private collection of Eby's favorite drawings of action on Tarawa. Klipsun Explains Operating Procedure To Clarify 1947's Technical Deficit; Lounge Situation Demands Action Now Further information concerning the 1947 Klipsun's technical deficit was presented at the Board of Control meeting held last Wednesday, December 10, by Betty McLeod, annual editor; Barbara Cozza, business manager; and Mrs. Ruth R. Rurnet, publications adviser, the board was advised as to how the Klipsun staff operates and how the business is carried on. It was pointed out that the 1947 year book had not exceeded its budget although there is a technical deficit of $299.31. The Klipsun staff had been advised by the business office last June that the book would have a surplus of approximately $400, but in October, they were informed that there was a deficit of $299.31: There may be a possibility that the G.I. reimbursements have not yet been accredited to the Klipsun account. The matter was tabled by the Board pending further investigation. Lounge Situation Grave Approving the use of the lounge for two dates, January 5, registration, and January 15, the Publications party, the Board proceeded to take up the problem of how to keep the lounge clean. In view of the fact that there has been a lot of unfavorable criticism about the uncleanli-ness in the lounge, it was suggested that a lounge committee be appointed to work with the lounge managers. The problem was tackled from another angle by the assertion that larger ash trays were needed. The issue was tabled for a period of one week. Two other matters were discussed. The proposal that a committee be appointed to evaluate Homecoming for the permanent report was discussed. Although it was agreed that henceforth, all the major social events should be evaluated fairly, no decision was reached as to what method would be used. Variety Offered Music Lovers Students of Western Washington College will be entertained Tuesday, December 16 in the college auditorium by the annual Christmas program which will be presented by the Music, department. This program will feature a. variety of talent. The college band, under the direction of Don Walter, will play a collection of Christmas carols; the girls' trio, consisting of Janet Harris, Doris Dunn and Bessie James, will entertain the audience with a sequence of French carols. The male quartet, composed of Duane Lewis, Glen Burgh, Fred DeBruler and Roland Peterson, will sing two selections; the a capella choir will sing "Jesus, Tender Savior," and "White Christmas" under the direction of Bernard Regier. "Andante Cantabile," o n e of Tschakowsky's great pieces, will be presented by Dr. Frank D'Andrea, Norma Jean Swan, Lia Chiorande, and Jeanne Hinthorne, in the form of the college string quartet. Patricia Paul and Patricia Wright will each sing a soprano solo, and Mary Ann Teichroew and Glen Bergh will carry the solo parts in Gretchan-inoff's "Only Begotten Son" and "The Angel and the Shepherd." Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Basis For Selection of Who's Who Members Special national recognition was awarded 15 WWC students today when Miss Lorraine Powers, dean of women, released the names of those tapped by "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges." Selections were made on the basis of scholarship rating, service to the student body, and leadership in campus activities. Students to receive the honor were: Donelda J. Barnhill, Donna R. Brown, Gloria Carey, Robert Dickson, Robert Frazier, Wade Haggard, Robert Moblo, James Sanford and Barbara Stockton. Other students chosen were: Mike Smith, William Wilder, Kathleen Brodahl, Donald Brown, Halldor Karason and Arnold Lahti. Certificates of merit will be awarded to these students later in the school year. Five recipients of the award— Barnhill, Brown, Lahti, Sanford and Wilder—were also elected to "Who's Who" last year.

Western Washington College of Education, Beilingham, Washington Friday, December 12/1947 OclitotiaU... Sociologists Tour Mental Hospital One of the outstanding features of the Northern State hospital noticeable to members of Sociology class who visited that institution last week was the prevailing inter-feeling of mutual trust and respect accorded to the hospital staff members by patients and vice versa. Critics of state mental hospitals have in the past made much ado over the reported ill treatment of patients by staff members. If such treatment dees exist it was evident to the touring sociologists that its existence is elsewhere than at NSH. The wholesome, cleanly,- cheerful atmosphere prevailing there was encouraging to a group that before had been exposed only to second-hand facts. Several other myths expounded by critics were exploded by veteran nurse Miss Jo Rowland during the tour. No patient is forced to participate in the work required to keep the community operating unless the therapy value to be gained from such work makes it necessary. No evidence of padded cells were to be seen although all parts of the 54 buildings comprising the community were offered for inspection. For the protection of patients too violent to be at large strong rooms are available, but only used in extreme cases. Patients whose, families can afford to pay part of the expenses incurred are charged $40 per month. No discrimination is made between privately and state supported inmates. A staff of competent doctors, psychiatrists, nurses and attendants handle the medical attention of the 2,100 patients. YULE GIFTS REQUESTED An appeal for Christmas presents for patients has been made and highly publicized in newspapers and radio throughout the'state for the past few weeks. Under present ruling the purchasing of gifts with state supplied funds is prohibited. As a consequence it is'only through the open hearted actions of Washington residents that inmates will enjoy Christmas as it is portrayed in.American homes today. The delight of patients over simple articles was evident to the students making the tour last Saturday. Miss Rowland stated that-decorations, trees and even Santa Claus will be available. It is only through the good will of relatives, friends, and citizens that patients will enjoy the traditional gift opening though.

"Whose game?" he asked as the players changed courts. "I am," said a shy young thing sitting on the bench next to him. • Local Man Comes As Instructor Have you seen, in prosaic literature .the words, "home town boy makes good?" Here at WWC, in the person of George H. McMeen, newly arrived mathematics instructor, is the realization of the meaning of that phrase. Born in Beilingham, McMeen attended Lowell grade school, was graduated from the campus school, and attended WWC, receiving the BA in education in 1934. "Why, I was here before a lot of the oldtime instructors," laughed the eager, friendly instructor. McMeen began teaching in 1934 in the ninth grade in Everett. His subjects were mathematics and history. Leaving Everett, McMeen joined the navy, was commissioned and sent to the Pan American school of navigation in Miami, Florida, to learn the intricacies of aerial navigation. After completing his course McMeen became a navigation instructor himself, then went overseas as navigator for the admiral of the commander of the South Pacific. Following his discharge early in 1946, McMeen returned to Everett, this time to teach mathematics at Everett junior college. Last summer McMeen received a Master's degree at the University of Washington. more siedaroro-w-woooolUu ey (Continued from Page 1) chiatrists, 13 graduate nurses, 42 basic students, six senior cadets,' and three post graduate nurses handle the medical duties of the hospital.

Aren't you interested in what goes on here in our school? Well, I am and I have a few ideas. Here they are: Why doesn't "each club or school organization choose one or more representatives to just sit in on the meetings and make a report of all material discussed, or a bulletin should be published every month with every action taken by the board recorded so that it might be read by all interested students. I have just one other idea: why not make all Board of Control meetings open to anyone who wishes to attend? I am sure some of us are interested enough in our gt; school to attend. I know I am. —A Freshman Ed. Note: The A.S.B. prexyhas assured us that all Board of Control meetings are open to interested students. Meetings are covered, and r e ported as accurately and fully as space permits, by a WW Collegian reporter. However, we are inclined to agree that a published account of the Board's actions should be available to all. But, what is done is done, wouldn't putting the horse before the cart (have more publicity on matters before they are acted on) be a better idea?

As lately as the sixteenth century, Islam inspired the same hysteria in western hearts as Communism does in the twentieth, and this essentially for the same reasons.: Like Communism, Islam was an anti-western movement which wps at the same time a heretical version of a western Faith; and, like Communism, it wielded a sword of spirit against which there was no defense in material armaments." ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 December 12 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, December 12, 1947 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington. Hated ftouse Tlews Men's Residence Hall Themes, themes, themes! We should have them written by the end *of this week—next week we go after those tests . . . Nothing to them . . . That is, compared to the term paper—more than one room is burning the ol' midnight oil—and not for the usual game of cards . . . Now, let's see, we are supposed to mention something about pies. It seems that some of the boys from Renton paid quite a bit for a couple of moldy hunks of pie— price determined after the recipients preferred pie of a different flavor . . . When Lenning and Simpson take a hot shower, they "wax enthusiastic", and become "overjoyed" at the thought of taking one . . . The house will be putting up its Christmas tree in a couple of days and if you really want to. see "Campus Talent Unsurpassed",- why you are welcome to come over and take a gander at our" tree . . . And we will be Christmas-caroling to you-all sometime in the wee hours next week . . . See you about then . . . Senior Hall At 6:30 a. m. Sunday, girls of this house will brave bitter cpld to sing Christmas carols to members of the faculty. Hot chocolate will be served before the girls leave and on their return, a large breakfast will await them. Following this, Christmas presents will be handed out by Lois "Clause" King. Following this, everyone will return to bed . . . Betty Felton took a trip home last week-end, to Friday Harbor. Dorothy Gruver didn't take a trip anywhere, all she saw was four walls. Phyl Baker lost a week-end from Senior hall on a trip down to Seattle . . . The hall's Christmas dinner will take place this Sunday, when each girl will invite a guest to the buffet dinner. Off-Campus Girls Oh, those off-campus girls, what they did. How about that Barbara and Katherine? . . . We hear Gerry Dillion really took her man out in style Friday night, chicken dinner and everything . . . Peggy Nunamaker, Doris Pauls, Phyllis Threlkeld, June Hardin, and Neva Mclntyre were also seen escorting their beaux to the Tolo. Have fun? . . . And then there were the girls who didn't go. How about that Lois and Pat. By the way, who did the third gal disappear with? (As if we didn't know.) Forest Inn Life is very hectic nowadays, at least here. Everyone has a term paper to hand in and we all waited until the last minute. Our housemother says no more diets. Remember that, Lindy and Flea . . . Patsy Clark and Tillie Thiel are now well known in all the men's shops having examined each and every sweater before buying . . . Shirley Haggblom got more phone calls last weekend. The reason—Dick was in Bellingham. Blessing'sHall All of the little blessings have been counting the days until Christmas vacation. In case you didn't know—there are exactly seven more days! . . . This week we learned that when we come back from vacation, a new house mother will be awaiting us. We bid a fond farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Blessing and extend a hearty greeting to Mrs. Peterson . . . Blessing hall was well represented at the civic concert—six of the ten gals who live here performed. They are: Shirley Hamer, Ruth Antonnen, Rosie Wallace, Helen Johnson, Haroldine Ruthruff, and Joyce Ruthruff. Harborview "Short sheets," cracker crumbs, and pouring ice-water on pin curls seemed to be the main events at Harborview this week. We all knew it couldn't be peaceful for a whole quarter!" Closed week-end, Ugh! . . . The AWS tolo showed many new couples. Dolly McArthur took Bud Yonlick, "Connie Martin was seen with Bill Baker, Margie Kingsley went with Herb, and of course Meredith Hess and Art Runnestrand were together. It seems that boys proved to be rather expensive! Hospice Inn "Anyone caught boning for quarter exams at Hospice Inn during the coming week shall be expelled from this fine fraternity without further delay." Something about bringing up class averages, we think. At the same time, everybody's studying . . . hard. . . .

Frank Watkins finished his paper just in time to eat breakfast. Bill Barron's eyes are still red from lack of sleep due to his term paper. June Carrick seems to be quite busy with these themes. June Hardin heaved a deep sigh of relief and screamed madly, "I'm through, I'm through!" Our boys were really on the ball* Tuesday night against Seattle college. Speaking of Seattle college, we wonder what that cute boy on the Chieftain team thought when PAT BORNSTEIN barked at him. The Seattle college rooting section really had a lot of pep even though there weren't very many of them. Do you think we could do as well at an out of town game? "Holly Holiday" drew a large crowd of the college set last Friday night. Some of the couples dancing to the music of George Hankins were Doreen Short and Bob Underbill, Mary Catherine Schive and Wally Miller, Lee Evy and Everett Tiland, Kay Beatty and Les Winders, and Dolly McArthur and George Yonlick. Strapless a n d of f-thershoulder formals seemed to predominate at the dance. Virginia Prim looked sweet and lovely in a blue and black plaid one-shouldered dress. Joyce Ruthruff wore a black taffeta ballet length dress. Miss Lucille Reiman, one of the patronesses, wore a low-cut white formal accented with huge lifelike leaves on the skirt. She was escorted by Declan Barron. Everyone had a swell time at the Collegian party at MRS. BURNET'S home Tuesday evening. The food was wonderful and everyone had fun playing cards. Seems as if CECIL THOMAS couldn't find the house and spent all evening looking for it. Pinochle is still the rage at Western. Haroldine Ruthruff, Don Olson, Shirley Hammer, Norm Sansregret, Pete Bylsma, Sidney Vos, Don Key, Lloyd Vanette and David Quam are a few of the card sharks. Don Jones, Bev Follis, Howie Larson and Jerry Waddell are a few of the lucky ones who know how to play bridge. Speaking of lucky ones how about Shirli Stamatis, who is spending Christmas in Los Angeles. She also plans to visit Greg Peck and a few of her Hollywood buddies. That's about all for this week. Holiday 'Notes' Faculty members and other townspeople will be awakened early Sunday morning by caroling groups from W W C ' s various organized houses. Carolers from Edens hall will begin singing at 5:00 in the "Blue Room" on third floor. They will continue singing until they reach the street; rousing all the residents «f ' t h e hall from sleep. At 8:30 they will return to a breakfast, served to all upperclassmen, carolers a nd choir members by the frosh. Senior hall girls will leave at 6:30 to serenade Bellingham residents. Breakfast will be served at 8:30 after which presents will be exchanged. The Men's Residence hall and other men's houses plan to do their caroling on a more informal basis, and small groups from these houses will probably be in evidence some time next week.

This is what the scoreboard looked like at 10 p. m. Tuesday. The ball game was a thriller from the opening whistle until the final buzzer. The scoring started when Jerry Starr got two foul shots and dumped them both. It was the Vikings all the way. Seattle college pulled even twice, but couldn't, quite get the scoring punch to pull ahead of the Blue and White. Peterson Starr Zurline Ross Green Osswald Cline Kink Rosser Erickson Henderickson PF TP 0 8 It was a shorter more aggressive ball club that came out on the top of the score.

To many of the spectators and listeners alike, the decision of the judges came as a lethal blow. To many others the decision came as a just and rightful conclusion to the 15- round championship bout. For those who are uneasy on the verdict reached, they have the consolation that Jersey Joe had weak management in last Friday night's fight but will take undisputed lead over the return bout next June. £faai lt;jltt "flotn Ike Bench . . . by peters JUST A. NOTE . . . Dedicated to those who didn't see the Blue and White in action last^ Tuesday—no excuses, I knoiv there were -plenty—you missed one of the fastest games that has been -played on the Hilltop boards for quite some time. One of the hottest and one of the best. Take a gander at that score-book . . . 59 to 46—not a thing wrong with that. Again it was the Arlington boy who took the lead, Starr collected a total of 23 points, Moose Zurline was next in line with 13. You should have seen Dan Rosser—he was really hot that night, and from the way Mac is mumbling he has golden hopes for Dan. That tall fellow out there with the stiff joints was Bob Cline. A little limbering up and Bob will be all set to get up with the high pointers—wait and see. Tom Green and Pinky Erickson, the two boys who_ never worry about getting tired, come out on the short end of the deal—for being old McDonald chattel and all that. Tom has eight points to his credit and Pinky just doesn't say a word. TALK OF THE TOWN and the talk that is heard everywhere is the talk of the Louis-Walcott fight. Sure . . . Dr. Thunder-gloves has his name down on the docket as the heavyweight champion of the world, but did he really win the fight? In a low voice, he said to Joe Walcott as they embraced right after the bout, "I'm sorry, Joe. it's not my fault." There was quite a turmoil that followed the fight. The crowds booed the decision—not Louis —as the announcer raised the champ's right hand. But Louis had no desire to exult in his victory and the glove never got higher than his shoulder. When Walcott's trainer, Dan Florio, dragged Walcott out into the center of the ring and raised his hand the crowd just about went crazy. Immediately after the bout there was talk of a return match. This has been temporarily settled, and the two fighters are scheduled to meet again in June—this time at the Yankee Stadium in New York—that is, if Jersey Joe Walcott will accept 20 per cent of a probable million dollar gate. After that impressive showing made by Walcott, Billy Conn is reported to be considering a comeback with Louis. Don't forget Willy—Joe is still a good man . . . although if he is going to retire he had better get busy, LEAGUE LOG . . . Last Saturday the Washington State, Cougars went on a scoring spree when they played Whitworthians. The Cougars wrote up a 78-48 win over the Pirates. ..High point men were: Ed Gayda of WSC with 14 points and Earl Mortlock with 11. Pacific Lutheran dedicated their new gym with a game against the U. of W. and lost it to the tune of 61 to 36. The Thunderbirds of British Columbia just edged out our rivals of last Wednesday by one point in a thrilling well fought game. Score: 59 to 58. Salem, Oregon; Central Washington doused the Willamette crew to the tune of 77-60. Let by guard Fred Peterson, Central piled up a 39-22 half-time margin and held the lead throughout the final periods. Peterson was high man with 23 points. B. Johnson of Willamette was just one point behind. By the way the Savages lost one of their most valuable hoop men—Irv Leafer. He is regarded by coach Red Reese as one of the greatest basketball players in the Pacific Northwest. Reese, whose squad won 12 games and lost one last season, admits that his squad won't be as strong as it has been for a couple of years. In a practice game last Tuesday, Cheney barely copped the edge in another one lucky point game. George Gabelhouse's free throw in the final seconds of the game cinched the tally—44 to 43. Little All-America . . . was what the board said that they hung on Don D'Andrea, big center for Pacific Lutheran. His teammate, Eldon Kyllo, a really rugged tackle, received honorable mention in the selections. THE PASTIME BELLINGHAM'S MOST SPLENDIDLY APPOINTED CAFE JOEPAGLIA 1217 Cornwall DON CAIRNCROSS Phone 982 Poe Chosen As Bill McDonald Plans To Inspiration By Teammates By a large majority of votes cast by his fellow team mates, Tom Poe was elected as the inspirational player of the 1947 WW football squad. The announcement of the decision by the Vik team was made by Coach Lappy at the annual high sdhool-college banquet sponsored by the Bellingham Lions club Wednesday evening at Chuckahut Shell. Coach Lappy brought forward the points which greatly enhanced "Big Tom's" chances for the inspirational nomination. High on the list was his fine sportsmanship and great enthusiasm brought out in both practice and team play. It also brought forward that he is a true leader and a real asset to the coaching and athletic field. It is a great honor to be elected by a player's teammates as an inspiration to the team and probably no one could better qualify tor the honor team than "Big Tom." Hailing from Longview, Poe completed his second year as fullback on the Vik grid squad this season. Because of shoulder injuries he was unable to play in the important CPS and Eastern games which came as a big loss to the backfield strategy. Coast Ball Not Up To Set Standards By BILL BAKER "What is the matter with Pacific Coast football?" The greats of the West pitted against the greats of the East is nothing but a cat and mouse paradox. The outcome of the Notre Darae- USC game last Saturday was enough to put Pacific Coast football in the same category with Pacific Coast baseball. Why? Universities of the coast league boast larger student bodies than most eastern colleges; they have just as much money. Of course the reason couldn't be that students graduating from Pacific Coast high schools, with any outstanding ability, are p r o m p t ly snapped up by Eastern institutions. Or could it? Joe goes to Podunk high school, he is an outstanding field general in the gridiron sport. "Go East Joe, that's where all the football greats are made. Why man, I hear they even give you good money for playing ball back there." Perry Moss, all American quarterback, was raised in Seattle. He-even got as far as the front door to the Husky gridiron. Moss played a wonderful game at the '46 Rose Bowl for a crack Illinois outfit. Yale is now sporting an outstanding end that also went to high school in Seattle. These and many others have listened to the call of the East, and left the Pacific Coast for a better deal. In four weeks the best of the Pacific Coast meets the best of the Big Nine. The outcome is already pre-destined, odds are heavy in favor of Michigan. Yet Pacific Coast fans are paying as much as $75 per seat to see the obvious. Keep our Joes at home. Then, and only then, will we have championship football teams. Winko Coaches Hold Conclave Washington Intercollegiate Athletic members will hold their conference at the Seattle Athletic club this Saturday and Sunday. Coaches from the six colleges in the Winko league are convening to set up the schedule for the 1948 Spring sports, track, baseball, tennis and golf, and the '48 football season.

Vol. XLVI — No. 10 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, December 5, 1947 The answer to an age old question has f i n a l ly been answered. It has at last been proven statistically that BLONDE hair always seems to be discovered on fathers shoulder. The fact is . . more blondes are likely to become bald than brunettes. However, brunettes are more susceptible to falling hair than redheads. The morale . . . put a redhead on your shoulder, father. * * * lt; But s t a t i s t i c s can be wrong . . . for instance . . . W e d n e s d a y evening a newspaper article s t a t ed that more meat is being c o n s u m e d n o w t h an was two months ago.

Envelopes containing 200 seals have been dropped in the mail already and checks have already begun to trickle into the Whatcom County Tuberculosis association in the Mason building.

Valuable personal papers that CANT BE REPLACED. Papers badly needed. tions in regard to the college. A motion calling for the formation of a committee which will control all of the student body's recreational areas (Sinclair Island, Kul-shan Cabin and Lakewood) was approved. This committee will be empowered to take any steps which it deems necessary in regards to the maintenance a n d supervision of these areas. New Finance System Finding that the preparation of a monthly balance sheet of student funds will cost in the neighborhood of $250 annually, the board appointed the committee headed by Jim Sanford to go ahead with any recommendations regarding the institution of the new finance system it feels essential. Klipsun Investigation Learning that the Klipsun staff has a deficit of $192.30 incurred from last year's annual, the decision was made to clear the amount so the present staff will not need -to suffer the cut. However, an investigation will be made to determine, if possible, how the deficit occurred. Other business discussed included: the question of what to do with the camera which was purchased for the use of the Klipsun staff several years ago; the subject of the new pep and song leaders' emblems which was referred to the heraldry committee for its recommendations; and a repair bill of $44 from the mffiSc"department which was approved. Sociology Expedition Heads For Woolley . Interest in care for inmates of statev mental institutions on the part of sociology classes has resulted in planning two trips to the Northern State hospital at Sedro-Woolley on the two following Saturdays by approximately sixty students, a n nounced sociology instructor Donald P. Irish this week. Students, leaving at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, expect to spend about an hour touring the institution under the guidance of Superintendent P. E. Showlain. The experience will be repeated by a different, group of students on the following Saturday. Irish suggested that interested students not enrolled in sociology classes contact him if they wish to be included in either of the planned trips or if they are interested in undertaking a similar tour next quarter. Brown 6K Company Honored As %7 Klipsun Is 'First Class' First Class! That is the rating given the 1947 Klipsun*by the Columbia Scholastic Press association, sponsored by the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University, New York. 925 points were scored out of a possible 1,000, in competition with liberal arts colleges of comparably enrollment throughout the nation. The National Scholastic Press, sponsored by the University of Minnesota, will announce its decisions in January. "Clark Brown, your editor, schould be congratulated," said the judge. Other comments were: Good taste throughout the book . . . the editorial staff has turned in an** excellent job of reporting and editing . . . your student photographers are to be congratulated . . . printing and typography excellent. Bigger and Better When asked about plans concerning this year's Klipsun, Betty Mc-. Leod, editor, said "The '48 Yearbook will be 32 pages longer, and we hope that it will be even better than Mt was last year." The new Klipsun will be published in May. Same Crew Listed Members of the staff of last year's Klipsun, who are working on the '48 edition are Kathleen Golly, Barbara Cozza, Betty McLeod, Nancy Merrick, Bettyjane Christie, Ruth Norman and Wayne Craig. Mt. Baker Beckons Local Snow Birds All ski enthusiasts please take notice! The first bus trip to Mount Baker is scheduled for tomorrow. The bus will leave at 7:30 a. m. if enough students have signed to make a full load. Holding its first meeting of the year, the ski club began tentative plans for the year's activities last Monday. Regular meetings will be on the first Monday of each month. Reports from Mt. Baker lodge indicate that snow conditions are. perfect for this time of year. Already this tourist mecca has attracted hundreds of sporting enthusiasts each week-end. Remember! Bus leaves at 7:30 a.m. Education Tax Levy Needs Support of Every Single Voter Voting students and residents near the college are again reminded of the special twenty mill tax levy to be voted on tomorrow. Polling for residents of the fifth ward will be at the V. P. W. hall, and for those residing in the sixth ward, the Larrabee school. Proceeds from the special levy, to be assessed in 1948, and payable in 1949, will be used to effect needed repairs on Bellingham's sixteen public schools and Battersby field. An itemized list showing how the $407,000 to be realized from the levy will be spent includes improvements in sanitation, audio-visual aid facilities, interior decorating, lighting, and playground equipment. Some of the schools, built over forty years ago, have shown need for repairs to steps, roofs and woodwork within the buildings. It • is planned to accomplish these things if the tax-levy passes. Battersby field wDl have the addition of new light clusters; fence repairs are planned; and the light poles will be moved outside the fence. Official Roster Is Published Basketball Western Style, the official basketball roster of Western Washington college, will be distributed next week to all high school and college coaches in the State of Washington. In order to gain publicity for WWC, the roster will also be mailed to newspapers and radio stations throughout the state. The booklet, containing twelve pages, will include the schedule of alL.this^year's, games,,.the schedule, and results of last year's games, a complete roster, and pictures of the coach and players/ A picture of Pinky Erickson will be featured on the cover of the roster. Because of a limited supply of the roster due to the high cost, Basketball Western Style will not be available to WWC students. Violinist Artist To Entertain "His recital was the most outstanding violinistic debut this season." These words were used by the New York ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 December 5 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bet)ingham, Washington Friday, December 5, 1947 oditobials . . . News Lists Point To Exciting Campus A remarkable parallel can be drawn (with imagination) between the United Press' annual list of. the ten outstanding news events of the year and the WWCollegians newly thought of list of the ten outstanding news events occuring on the campus during, fall quarter. Of course the only parallel existing is the fact of "continuing news stories/' but at least no one can deny the fact that we had "continuing news stories." •Naturally the high cost of living was number one on the U. P. hit parade. '"This was followed closely by "the cold war" and "passage of the Taft-Hartley law and subsequent litigation." In the number four position we find "the Hughes- Meyers investigation" while "Texas City, Texas., disaster" was number five. "Princess Elizabeth's romance" and the "partition of India" were followed by the "series of airplane disasters" and "Arab-Jewish controversy over Palestine." Securely holding down the tenth position was "the world series." . Now we don't contend that our little list will create any worid shaking results but we still feel that cognizance should be taken of the various department and groups that have made WWC such an active and interesting place to sleep for the past quarter. So putting our tongue in our cheek and turning our back we meekly submit the fall quarter honor list of the WWCollegian: 1.; New Era (political expedient, you know). 2. Homecoming . . . special consideration to Armstrong and Lapp. 3. Building expansion and enrollment. 4. Student convoy to PLC and 'Pep club activities. 5. Music department activities. 6. Board of Control. 7. Drama department (Skin of Our Teeth). 8. Basketball season opener (U. of W. vs. Viks). 9. War Memorial plans. 10. Student Artist and Lecture series. Annual Christmas Vespers to Be Sung by a Cappela Choir Christmas Vespers will be presented to the students of WWC December 7, at 4:00 p. m. in the rotunda of the college library. The program consists of 16 selections, and is under the direction of Bernard Regier.

Registrar's Duties By NativeSon In the contrast to preceding interviews of WWC's new personnel, Donald A. Ferris, registrar, is almost wholly a product of the Evergreen state. Born in Yakima, Ferris has received a B. A. degree in education, a Master's, and is well on his way toward a Ph. D., all from the University of Washington. Linfield College in Oregon, and Columbia University made their contributions to his formal education; but on the whole, the man who came to WWC this, fall to relieve Dr. M. S. Kuder of a part of a big load could be called a true "Native son." Ferris began his teaching career in Kent, Washington, and then moved on to Issaquah, teaching social studies. The pleasant, quiet spoken registrar next went to Mt. Vernon to teach social studies in junior high school, high school, and junior college. He was guidance director in Mt. Vernon high school, night school director, and for two years served as vice-principal of that institution. Graduates or former students ot Mt. Vernon junior college will remember Ferris as dean of that school, a position he held for four years. Discussing Western, Ferris enthusiastically declared, "The college has great possibilities for expansion. I especially* appreciate the beautiful campus and the friendly atmosphere to be found here." The Ferris family, residing at 1000 Key street, Bellingham, consists of Mr. and Mrs. Ferris and their three children.

Roma Still caused a small sensation with her engagement ring . . . The question of the week has been answered— 1 "Rodger" the small pig in Roma's room, which is full of pennies, is going toward a good cause . . . Bev Rothlisberg kind of missed connections from Portland to Bellingham last Sunday . . . Shirley Stamatis had a well-spent vacation at Timberline, skiing, she says! . . . And a warning to all the gals on the second floor- Charlotte Ellis walks in her sleep, usually with a ski boot on one foot, and a wooden shoe on the other'.'. . The girls are working on their dates for the AWS formal . . . Dorothy Dahl seems to have accomplished something—A date, that is! Dodie Waxier and Jean McKelvey spent a few days in the infirmary this week. It seems they had quite a lovely time playing honeymoon bridge and just resting . . . We hear that some of the girls o nthird floor have recently acquired some new Al Jolson records—someone else heard them Sunday night, too. Men's Residence Hall Four days of Thanksgiving weren't enough, but we have only another two weeks of futile struggling and then we can really cele— enjoy ourselves . . . That little beam of sunshine is looking over my shoulder again . . . What's this in the wind—another exchange dinner? Great, we're all for it . . . Room 306 still hasn't become used to the stairways in the hall. Else why the step-ladder? Or should I have said that? . . . Election of house officers next week, and I'm sure that they will keep up the good work already done and shown by the present group of officers . . . Say, "b'gosh, Hopkins really can blush! . . . Maybe next week I can put on a big news splurge—anyway it had better be soon. Senior Hall Dragging suitcases down the dark hall, came twenty-six -weary travellers, back to Senior hall from Thanksgiving vacations . . . Housemother Mrs. Anderson went on a four-day visit to Vancouver, B. C, and Phyllis Armstrong went up Mount Baker over the week-end . . . At a house meeting on Tuesday night, plans were made for the Christmas dinner which will be a date affair and probably informal . . . Gloria Boyce, Betty Felton and Mimi Anderson, didn't quite make the 10:30 deadline on Sunday night. What's your trouble ladies? And as for Gladine Simpson . . . Oh, Ho! '•• Joanne Rucker, Jane Clothier and Janet Virtue were among t h e fortunate freshman of this house to be allowed out to see t h e basketball game Wednesday night . . . This hall's claim to fame is Nita Clothier, who has such an important part in the play "Skin of Our Teeth" that she has to be there all three nights. Hospice Inn • Thanksgiving holidays rushed by all too quickly for the men of Hospice Inn. Everyone reports a fine time . . . Charlie and Duncan McRae, Jim Loring, and Bud Hale played host at Friday Harbor over the week-end to Park Dyer, Jack Kelly, and Jack Purdy. The fellows wanly reported "a good time" on Monday morning . ; . Ace Francis suffered an unfortunate fall in the hall of-the main building Tuesday morning. Result: a tooth through t h e lower lip. Ace is at the moment well on the way to recovery, however. Off-Campus Girls This is your off campus reporter bringing you all the last minute news on what those gorgeous gals who make up OFF CAMPUS, INC., are doing. Some of the girls were pretty lonesome this week-end because so many of the stronger (?) sex went home for Thanksgiving. Not so with one blue eyed blonde I know of. Seattle is a wonderful place if you know the right people, isn't it Ruby? . . . Say Irene, how did you get that bump on your head? Better tell that young man not to drive so fast . . . Two happy girls over the week-end were Bev Snow and Barbara Ritchie, whose men came home for Thanksgiving. Happy Day! Harborview Term papers, term papers, and more term papers! Between term papers, tests, and practicing our Christmas caroling the inmates of Harborview are suffering from an acute case of lack of sleep. Barry Stockton, president of the house will sing a solo December 7 at the Christmas Vesper service presented by Bernard Regier. Meredith Hess will also lend her talent to this affair. If curses should be heard coming from this humble home it is only because the AWS formal is on the same night as the play. This is inconvenient for the actresses as they will look rather queer appearing at the dance at 11 p. m. smeared with grease paint. Only 10 more studying days till Christmas. Hurray! Forest Inn Thanksgiving is now over and we are concentrating on our studies. At least we are trying to . . . The big news is that Patsy Clark came back with a beautiful diamond on her finger. Congratulations are in order . . . If you wonder why Tillie Thiel is down in the dumps some days and up in the air others, just ask the postman . . . When this news was turned in its seems a certain person in the house was on a fruit juice and coffee diet. We wonder how long it will last. Not for long, 111 bet, because how can she resist our housemother's cooking? Daniels Hall The fellows came to chow last Monday night with some new holds and tricks acquired from their Thanksgiving day tussle. By the way, gals, if you just happen to have your eye on some masculine material from Daniel's, just invite him over for food. From then on (if you're a good cook) it's a cinch . . . (How "bout that Mel , you oughta know) To enlighten you on this little insert here, Mel Lindbloom done went 'n popped the question to Roma Still. Roma said YES! Congratulations, kids. Chatter Box Back to the old grind after the Thanksgiving vacation. We hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Seems as if Bud Boe's was wonderful, even though it was lost. Dan Sayan went to the Ballard-Bremerton football game Turkey day. Joanne Rucker went home to Shelton and did nothing, she claims! Evidently Shelton is a popular place because Al Eaton visited the old home town too. Bev Snow's man came home from Pullman so her weekend was complete. Wick Roth just slept all weekend. Wonder what he did the weekend before? WWC was well represented at the Shell Saturday night. Couples seen there were Mariqn Hardin and Bob Call, Mr. and Mrs. Hal Partlow, Sally Park and Bob Gates, and Louis Kink and Kenny' Betner. Even if skiing conditions were poor at Mt. Baker Sunday, it was popular with students of Western. Ed McCullough, Blair Lewis, Bob Miles, Doc Walton, Norma Swan, Ruth Norman, Delores Christensen, Phyllis Armstrong, Madeline House and Stan Thompson braved the wind and rain for a day's skiing. Chuck Lutz's wrenched ankle was the only casualty from here. Many thanks for the new records on the juke box in the lounge. We really like "So Far" and "Bango, Bango' Bango" and how about the new "7-up" slot machine. It adds variety to the liquid diet. Plaids seem to be quite the thing this season. If you see a cute little boy walking down the hall in a beautiful gray and white plaid shirt that's Vern Whitney. Dolly McAr- 'thur looks very smart in her red plaid dress. Gordie Smith has a red plaid shirt that is really good looking. Saddles, loafers and Joyces are still the favorite in shoe apparel among the girls. Clogs are often heard during the rainy weather also. Looks as if the days kinda like these thick-soled shoes. Al Iraola seems to favor loafers because when he had athletes foot he could slip off his shoes and scratch his feet. Now he says other shoes are okay. Widge Black wears shoes because he's from Sequim and ^ everyone wears shoes there. That's about all for today . . . Have a good time at the dance tonight! Pauline Roser Is New ACE Prexy At the first meeting of the year, the A.C.E. members elected Pauline Roser as president. Other officers were: Jean McKelvy, vice-president; Esther Mjoen, secretary; and Mary Ann Oman, treasurer. The purpose of the Association for Childhood Education is to acquaint the students planning to become teachers with the profession as a whole and with WWC's Campus school. The meetings are to be held in the Campus school with each meeting in a different room so that all can become familiar with the building. Co-chairman for the discussion group are Katherine Niemala and ZIbona Daverin; for the membership drive are Marian Overcotter and Loren Rankin. Social chairman is Jean McKelvy and publications chairman is Jesse Winters. The next meeting will be held at the Campus school January 22. 119 ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 December 5 - Page 4 ---------- Western Wishington^Gollege of^Ec^tkw, B ^ ^ 59-32, Viks Over Seattle P.; Reserves Play Important Role In Falcon Drubbing By HAL GRONSETH Coach Bill McDonald swept the bench clean as the Blue and White rolled over the Seattle Pacific Falcons, 59 to 36, Wednesday night. After the first four minutes, the game was never in doubt. Ten minutes after the opening buzzer Western held a comfortable 18 to 6 lead. The half time score was 30 to 12. Cleans Bench During the second half the whole Vik squad got their feet wet. Some of the boys looked as if they need a little more work but on the whole the squad looked impressive. The starting five seemed like a fine ball club. Garry Starr and Stan Peterson started at forwards, "Moose" Zurline at center, and "Pinky" Erickson and Tom Green a t guards. Jack Ross is back off the injured list and will now be fighting for a starting berth. "Moose" Zurline. Tom Green Stan Peterson Tom Osswald Bob Cline "Pink" Erickson... Jack Ross Bob English ... Dick Boyd Jack Frazer Ron Anderson Dan Rosser 59 Pacific Lutheran Dedicates Memorial Gym At University Game Tonight Pacific Lutheran College in Tacoma will dedicate its new $250,000 Memorial Gymnasium tonight at 8 o'clock when the Lute cagers meet the University of Washington Huskies. The gym will accommodate crowds of 2,400. The gyntnasium is a gift of the citizens of Tacoma. Cliff Olson, Pacific Lutheran athletic director, served as chairman for the fund raising campaign, and Mr. John S. Baker, Tacoma, was honorary chairman. A short dedicatory program w i l l precede Friday night's game. Dr. Raymond B. Allen, president of the University of Washington, will speak. Others who will participate include Dr. H. L. Foss, president of the Pacific Lutheran College board of trustees; Dr. S. C. Eastvold, PLC president; and Cliff Olson. ^haicltt ^Kom lite Bench . . . by peters CONGRATS . . . Number one of t he season—and what a tally, 30-12 at the half with a final marking of 59 to 36. There were substitutions galore last Wednesday night as the Viks overran the Falcons of Seattle Pacific; every man on the bench was used. Well the score is now one up and t he Hilltoppers have faced two squads of almost opposite ability. First the fast and deadly game that the Huskies played and then the rather slow moving type of ball played by the Falcons. • Next Tuesday, again, the Hilltoppers are scheduled to face Art McLarney's five on the home courts, and another fast breakaway, rip-roaring game will be fought out. The Viks ought to do much better now that they have some height and some pretty big men. * Jack Ross was laid up in the last U. of W. game with a bad leg but he should"get in the next one. Jack Graham has a bum ankle and Larry Slovak is complaining of a knee injury. That's all for this week. SPORTS ITEM OF THE WEEK . . . A water boy who had never before suited up, but with two years experience in bucket toting scored four points last Saturday as the Modesto, California, Junior college threw all available manpower into a 30-7 football triumph over Weber Junior college of Ogden, Utah. Rusty Rusti-gan went in without any shoulder pads to t ry for each conversion after the four touchdowns. He scored on all of them and also a safety. ATTf!N!«ON BASKETBALLERS . . . From Eastern Washington comesMe report that the Viking basketball squad will be fighting it but with the St. Martin's quintet in the finals. St. Martin's is predicted to be t he cellar dwellers! I don't think we can get them on a liabel charge but we can sure get them in the neck. True—Big Bill has played only two games so far, but the way his squad is shaping up he is going to have a good club this season. Of course it is still pretty, early in the season to have much faith in these early season predictions . . . well make ours later. LEAGUE LOG . . . Pacific Lutheran's new $225,000 gymnasium will be dedicated when they play the U. of W. five tonight in Tacoma. Jerry McLaughlin, a six-foot, three-inch center, will be in the key spot. He was second high collegiate scorer in the nation last season with 479 points. Wesley Saxton and Gene Lun-gaard will be t h e starters at the forward spots. The only two men on the starting lineup who a re under six feet are the two guards—Willis McLaughlin and Howard Willis. Last week Whitworth came but nine points short of doubling the score that Farragut college chalked up—38. Then we come to Eastern Washington squad who racked up more than a triple tally on the boys from Levitch—72 to 23. ROUND »N ABOUT . . . Way down in Medford, Oregon, last week, PLC came through again to score over Southern Oregon in a brisk Thanksgiving day game. And it was brisk too. There was some good hard playing with Oregon leading by two TD's at t he half. Five thousand fans were there to see the Lutes stage a powerful second half comeback to defeat the Red Raiders 27 to 21. The.victory was the seventh for the Lutes in nine games, the other two tilts ended in ties. * ACROSS THE NATION . . . Back in Philadelphia, the Cadets, led by their brilliant 172-pound fullback, Elwyn (Rip) Rowan, walked all over the Navy to bring down the curtain on their '47 season with an impressive 21-0 eyelashing. Probably the most spectacular play of the game was when the powerful back thrilled the 101,500 fans with his 92 yard touchdown play. Hoop Secrets Expounded For Matilda t By BILL BAKER Matilda went ' to see Western Washington play basketball. She doesn't remember who they piayed, in fact she doesn't remember much. This column is dedicated to people like Matilda, those who do not understand the intricacies of the cas-aba sport. The game is simple, one team pitted against another trying to sink~ as many baskets as possible in. the opposition's basket, that's all there is to it. Or is it? The first thing Matilda should know is t h a t the plays are set up by the guards as they come down the floor. Signa-s are sent to the rest of the quintet by the use of their hands and the team immediately falls into a formation. Blocking is just as essential in the maple sport as it is on the gridiron. The players are assigned men to block, as inconspicuously as possible, to pave the way for the ball carrier as he leaps to glory. But remember, Matilda, the glory doesn't all go to the lad that made the basket. A basketball player may look as though he is running up and down the floor aimlessly, but he has many tricks that will make him above average if w o r k e d e x p e r t l y. Watch for some of these details next time, Matilda, and maybe you will remember more about the game. Does Jersey Joe Stand a Chance? Another attempt will be made tonight to wrest the world's heavyweight championship from Joe Louis at Madison Square Garden. The unlucky man this time is Jersey Joe Walcott, a lighter but perhaps taster man t h an the champ. Louis is said to be in tip-top condition and weighs in at 212, the most of his entire championship career. Jersey Joe pounds the scales at 192, but is earmarked as making up for the weight in his speed in the ring. The majority agrees that the only chance Walcott has to defeat the champ is to land one lucky punch. That chance, shown by the betting odds, is about 10 to 1. It has been rumored that the champ has been slowing up a little in his old =age (33) but appears to be in first-rate condition. Jersey Joe, also 33 years old, will undoubtedly have a very difficult time rocking the supports from under Louis's 13 year championship career. It must be remembered that although one good punch would shatter this career, that one punch is going to be the hardest to connect with. Vik Lads Rate With Rangers St. Martin's Rangers came nearest to an upset win in holding Central Washington college to a 7-0 victory, but the Saints turned right around and figured that three of the' Central Wildcats were good enough to rate on their all-opponent team as announced Tuesday. . At the ends Rangers picked Walt Clayton of Western Washington and Nagel of Eastern; tackles—Charles Schroeder of Linfield and Leo Hake of Central; Don Bort of Central and Bill Currier of Linfield, guards; and Mork of Central, center. In the backfield, the Saints' all-foe choices are Bud Thrapp of Eastern, Vern Tucker of Whitworth, Jerry Karnofski of Western and Frank Spear of Pacific Lutheran.

No taxpayer would willfully deny the students of Whatcom junior high better lighting facilities than the ones shown in their present mechanical drawing room. These plus many other conditions need rectifying. Every registered voter in Bellingham can assist this program. VOTE 'Y'ES" DECEMBER 6 Vote "Yes" In Coming December City Election oditrtial VOTE "YES" DECEMBER 6. Vote "yes" to the special 20 mill levy proposition whicn is so badly needed to finance a program of rehabilitation for Bellingham's deteriorating public schools. If this levy is to gcr-into effect it requires the support of 40 per cent of the voters who voted in the last gubernatorial election. This levy, which is being publicized through a campaign organized by education and parent groups as well as-being supported by many of Bellingham's civic associations, will raise $407,000 for planned improvements on playgrounds, redecoration, sanitation, fighting, and elimination of hazardous construction. Economically speaking, the value of city schools, if conservatively estimated, is three and one-quarter million dollars. In the past ten years an average of only $13,- 000 a year has been available for maintenance. Such dis-proportions speak loudly of the needed support for this special levy. There can be no honest opposition to this special levy in the December 6 election by a well informed, intelligent voter. Certainly a basis for the security £ gt;f collective world peace is an all-out total war against illiteracy. Such a war must be waged everywhere on this earth and with every means at our disposal. One mehod is at our disposal —VOTE "YES" DECEMBER 6. Battersby field is scheduled as one of the major improvements contemplated. Poles will be moved outside of the fence and more lights will be added to provide sufficient intensity. It is possible that a revision of dressing ipoms can also be accomplished. Bellingham recently was the object of statewide attention of the matter of student brawling as a consequence (Continued on Page Tiro) Ex-College Dramatist Stilt Packs House In East Production Glenn W. Burgess, Jr., co-manager of the Salome Gaynor Theater for Children, played a leading part at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn, New York, last Saturday. The cast is now working on the Christmas play, "Patchwork Girl of the Oz," which will be presented in Baltimore at Christmas time and in Philadelphia December 31. Burgess is a past student of WWC where he played major leads in "The Corn is Green" and 'Dear Ruth." He was a member of the WWC Collegian and Klipsun staffs. While in the army, Burgess served in the entertainment division which produced camp plays for the hospitals. *fc Dateline Wednesday Noon, November 26 to Monday morning, December I— Be thankful that you have something to be thankful for.

Students Can Assist "Sixteen public schools of Bellingham, plus Battersby field, are badly in need of improvements. We urge voting students of WWC to vote on the special 20 mill tax levy on December 6," said Dr. Alan Ross during an interview this week. Reports from school authorities have shown that over 100 rooms in the schools are inadequately lighted, sanitary .conditions are not up to par, and that interior decorating is needed, some rooms not having been painted in the past ten years. The reports also indicated that audiovisual aids are needed in all schools to assist instructors in carrying on their work. "A large measure of public support has been obtained for the levy through the efforts of lay-leaders in the town. Students of education may view with interest the efforts of the citizens of Bellingham' to improve their schools," further commented Dr. Ross. A special 20 mill tax levy, in effect one year, could. raise the amount necessary to bring the buildings and equipment up to par. A three-fifths majority is required to vote this issue in. Among improvements in line are the removal of the light poles from inside the fence in Battersby field, and the addition of more cluster lights for night activities. Bellingham high school would get new tennis courts. Roofing, decorating, p l a y g r o u n d improvements, and plumbing additions would also be accomplished with the money, according to an expense account which has ben drawn up by the school authorities. All schools in district 501 would benefit from this levy, and material, labor and contracting would be drawn from this area inso far as it is possible to do so. Building Funds Reappropriated Announce College Trustees Construction plans for the future picked up a new emphasis this week when information was released by the Board of Trustees that over $1,100,- 000 has been especially earmarked for immediate construction of two new units on the campus of Western Washington college. The disclosure, announced following the joint meeting of the Board of Trustees of Washington's three education colleges in Seattle, reveals that work will start as soon as spring, weather permits on an industrial arts and art building, and an auditorium and music building. The two buildings, designed to fit into the existing pattern of mod-' ified Romanesque architecture, will contain all of the modern features embodied in any west coast education building, according to Bebb and Jones, architects of Seattle. Master Location Dr. W. W. Haggard's master plan of the campus places the location of the proposed Industrial Arts building immediately west and directly northeast of the existing campus school. Work will begin on the central wing of this structure which will house ths basic requirements of the courses offered pending completion of the building. Courts Removal "The existing tennis courts will be moved to a position behind the gymnasium," said Dr. Haggard, "to make room for the music building and auditorium. However, it is hoped that new courts can be constructed before the regular tennis season opens." Adjacent property on both sides of the present tennis courts will be purchased to insure room for expansion. A student union building near the auditorium is included in the long range agenda. Contracts Not Let Contracts have not been let for the construction but it is hoped the buildings will be ready for occupancy in the early part of 1950. Odegard Calls For Modern Diplomacy To Safeguard Peace IRC club members told of a successful conference held at UBC Nov. 21-22, on their return to the campus Saturday night. High point of the two day meeting was the address of Dr. Peter Odegard, president of Reed college, Portland, Ore., who spoke on the new trends of modern diplomacy. "ModeVn diplomacy," said Odegard, "should generate light, not heat!" He outlined a program of news dissemination, exchange of students, education of the mass of world illiterates,- and a diplomacy based on truth, as necessary prerequisites leading to world peace. Other features of the conference were round-table discussions, election of officers, and selection of a host college for next year's conference. This honor was delegated to Parragut Institute. Intelligence Officer Makes Appearance Rear Admiral Ellis M". Zacharias, author of "Secret Missions," the story of an Intelligence officer, will make his appearance here December 5, in the scheduled artist and lecture series. With a background of a quarter of a century of naval intelligence work, Mr. Zacharias is eminently qualified for the important psychological warfare work in which he was engaged during the closing phases of the war. He has completed over 38 years in the U. S. Naval service since his entry in the Naval academy in 1908. He has served on and operated with all types of ships. During the war he commanded the heavy cruiser Salt Lake City. BAND ROTATION INSURES MUSIC FOR HOME GAMES In order to have the band present at every home basketball game and still not tire the members, the Viking band has been split into two sections. One section will play one week and the next-section will perform the following week. The sections have been divided in such a way as to have equal representation in every section of the band. Each band has an approximate strength of about twenty- seven members. Fall Production "Tooth Revue" Ready To Open There is a buoyant optimism a b o u t Wilder's play "Skin of our Teeth." Mr. Wilder believes we will survive and that's a cheerful note in the midst of the atomic gloom. This unusual comedy opens next week at the Campus School Theatre for a run of three nights, beginning on Thursday and closing Saturday evening. For many of the audience, it will seem a queejr experience, for crazy things happen in this show. But once the spectator understands what the author is up to, he will find method in the madness of the action. Disregarding the time factor, Wilder amusingly and whimsically imagines the ice age descending on Excelsior, New Jersey, in the summer of 1942. The Antrobus family (all of us good people) face extinction. It's a queer group that gathers in the Antrobus home, huddling about the last fire on earth. It includes a dinosaur and a mammoth as well as Doc Einstein, Judge Moses and Poet Homer. For good measure, (Continued on Page Two) Quartet Sings For YWCA Jubilee WWCs college quartet appeared Wednesday evening, November 19, at the high school auditorium for the YWCA jubilee.

While this affair was blown up out of proportion nevertheless it must be recongnized that better facilities could possibly have averted the unfortunate incident. v Bellingham college students can do much to support and arouse public interest in this coming levy* election. As a result of a student poll of Bellingham citizens it was disclosed that they felt that the college mus-t take a more active interest in community affairs if we could honestly ask them to support our programs. The intensified interest in WWC this year commands our respect and reciprocal action. The WWCollegian urges the student body, the Board of Control, and the Music department to devise means to publicly advertise the coming levy ballot- . ing. Individual students can contribute by "word of mouth" advertising. Urge.your parents, friends, chance acquaintances, or the man on the street to VOTE "YES" DECEMBER 6. Remember 40 per cent of the people that voted in the last gubernatorial election must answer this call on a start of rejuvenation of public schools.

Psych Teacher Has Enjoyed Active Career George W. Hohl, psychology and child development instructor, newly arrived at WWC, has already had a busy and active career in teaching both in civilian life and in the army. Hohl attended Drake University as an undergraduate, receiving the B. S. degree in education from that institution. He first began teaching in 1934 in a consolidated school in North Dakota. In 1938 Hohl received the Masters degree in education from Northwestern University. He taught in high school in Sioux Falls. North Dakota; elementary, ' junior high and senior high schools in Des Moines, Iowa, and then served as principal of an elementary school in that same city. Recognition Teacher "Then I went to the army," said Hohl with a grin. He taught navigation and recognition in the air corps, and then went to Korea as a member of a military government team. Following his discharge from the army, Hohl completed a year's work at the University of Chicago as a research assistant in their field service program. He worked as a consultant to child study groups from cities in the East and South. Has Children 'I am married and we have two baby girls, one six months old and the other 21 months," said Hohl, smiling proudly. When asked if his daughters were going to become school teachers, he chuckled and replied "that is a leading question." Hohl came to WWC in September. "We had seen this country before," he mentioned, "and I think we liked it from the first." The Hohl family is at present residing at 2508 Valette street in Bellingham. lantic City for a hilarious convention of the mammals of the world. There Antrobus, dazzled by the model of the year, Lily Fairweather, almost deserts Mrs. Antrobus and the kids, but all ends in the deluge and the Noah's Ark escape to a New Era. People who like their entertainment a trifle cock-eyed will be diverted by the animals, the unusual scrambling of the chronology and by the bizarre 'Hellzapoppin'" se-' quences. But the show strangely makes sense and the last act is as up-to-date as atomic energy. For the last great crisis is war! The idea of war and peace as developed in the third act of the comedy, vitally concerns us all. Letters To The Editor Clocks Watches Jewelry Ralph A.Lindquist Watchmaker 214 W.

Also there are many factors involved which we believe should be pointed out to your readers. If you are to publish a show criticism, we might suggest that you assign the analysis to someone who is competent. It is obvious that Miss Schive is incapable of comprehending the satire and humor of the "New Era." She confuses the issue. The show was not nearly as confused (as she stated) as evidently was Miss Shive. She failed to get the subtle humor of Bill Wilder in his education class. Nothing of what was stated in her article was basic or constructive. We'd say she missed the point completely. Any lack of dignity in the cor-nation ceremonies was due to an unforseen upset in plans only a few minutes before the actual ceremony took place. We sincerely appreciate constructive criticism. There is, however, little value in unjust or unvalid criticism. Thank you and v e r y sincerely yours, Phyllis Armstrong Jay Lapp LETTER TO THE EDITOR Tolo dances have been a matter of discussion among the students for some time. Therefore, we would like to clarify the meaning of the word before the Associated Women Student's formal tolo to be held Friday evening, December 5. As members of the A.W.S., we feel that since the dance is sponsored by the women, since the women are the hostesses for the evening, they should ask the men, just as they would do to a private party given in their own homes. Previously, tolo dances have been merely a matter of the girls buying the ticket and asking a man for a date. This procedure, however, is erroneous according to the original meaning of the word tolo. The girl's duties at a tolo affair are very specific. She should ask DOWNTOWN HEADQUARTERS For WWC Students Fountain, Food, Drink HARDWICK'S Where Friends Meet and Eat Box of FINE CHOCOLATES By Canterbury and Brown Haley 1.10 to 7.50 Your Friendly STAR Drug Co. Corner State and HoUy Phone 224 ic LETTER TO THE EDITOR The music recital last Friday may or may not be rated as a regular assembly, but I certainly think it rated a notice in the official bulletin. After seeing the program in the Collegian, I for one was plenty disappointed in missing it. With more than one professional musician in this recital, this alone would have made up for any of the lesser talented students participating, yet I'm sure that those that might not care for classical music would appreciate this type of music when they know the performer. I realize that there are two sides to the question and the entire student body might bother a few of the performers, yet I can't see how a few more would have made such difference since I was told the auditorium was far from empty. I just hope that when such a program is offered again it will be similar to that given last Friday and if it isn't offered to the students it will be kept out of the paper so we'll not know what we missed. A Disapointed Music Lover a date, buy the dance ticket, furnish or make arrangements for transportation to and from the dance, and pay additional expenses during the evening. If the girl does not have access to a car and the man agrees to furnish his, t he girl should buy the gas. A corsage to the girl on formal affairs should be furnished by the man. This is merely a gesture of courtesy and is not obligatory. The correct attire for the AWS Tolo. December 5 will be formal dresses for the women and dark business suits for the men.

To the old folks it is a memory of other Thanksgivings and the joy of having their children's children at the old homestead. To everyone, the nation over, it is a time of happiness in the knowledge that over here all is plentiful and merciful. There are no breadlines, no court edicts. Over there, no one is trying to bend others to his will, no one is bullying the common man. Over here, the spirit of the first Thanksgiving is still reflected in the afternoon church assemblies and prayers. The Pilgrims had to walk miles with guns on their shoulders to give thanks to their Creator. Today, Mr. John Public has only to walk to the neighborly church on the corner, to pray to the same God. Thanksgiving is as its name implies, a day of thanksgiving, of happiness, and of good-will.

Felcia Fogman, a sophomore at WWC, crossed the first stepping stone to becoming Guest Editor for Mademoiselle magazine in New York next summer. Last week she was accepted by letter as a college board member of Mademoiselle. Sitting amidst magazines with information about New York and backed by a map of New York City and a water color of Manahattan island tacked to the wall' of her room at Edens hall, tawny-haired Miss Fogman explained the requirements of the contest she had entered. In order to compete she had to be attending an accredited college and be available to work during the month of June, 1948, in MLLE'S New York offices, helping put out the August college issue. Madmoiselle magazine states, "If you make the Board, you fulfill three MLLE'S assignments throughout the school year (cash prizes awarded), submit extra feature ideas . . . and have a chance of being picked as a delegate to MLLE'S annual college forum . . . If you end up one of the top twenty members, you end up as a guest editor in MLLE'S New York office for the month of June, 1948, get a chance to contribute to a professional magazine while you're still an undergraduate . . . " While Miss Fogman attended North Kitsap high school she wrote fashions for their paper and her senior year she was Fashion editor. •'I often use to wonder if I ever would be doing something like that professionally," she mused. She also held the position of Annual editor her senior year and last year Miss Fogman attended Central Washington College of Education at Ellens-burg.

Quintet Douses Vikings In Opener There was a crowd of overflow proportions to greet the Huskies and Vikings in their curtain opener on Friday. Washington pulled their set offense NEW LOOK out of their bag of tricks to win by 69-32. If the loss had to be pinned down to any one factor it would have to be out and out superiority! The Purple and Gold showed height, speed, and accuracy over the Norse. The game started close. For the first five minutes the Huskies were held to an 8-6 score, but then the fireworks started. Their set plays worked with the timing of a clock. Time All Opposition Team Picked By Lappy after time they would set up a play with a pass to Jack Nichols, their all coast center. ..From this play Nichols has three choices. He can pass to the man breaking for the basket, pass back out, or shoot himself. This was one of the NEW LOOKS that seemed to work for coach McLarney. He also used variations of this. Everybody Plays Coach McLarney used his 18 men to full advantage. Every man got into the game. Local fans were especially glad to see Hal Arnason a Bellingham boy, make five points for the Huskies. Western's blue and white had a bright Starr or two in the game also. Jerry was high scorer for the evening with twelve points. Tom Green, the letterman guard, played a fine offensive game, too. These two boys accounted for 22 of the Viks 32 points. Green made the longest shot of the game, a one handed, from the middle of the floor just two seconds before the end of the first haif. Viks Had Lots of Fight The Vikings didn't look like a world beater, but they did show some promise. They had the fight and spirit right up to the final buzzer, and with a little more polish they will give a good account of themselves. Mitch Kink, Hugh Ryan, and Connie Henderson looked especially good. After Thanksgiving the Viks start on a tough schedule. The first game in December is against Seattle College here on the 9th.

As might be expected after seeing the Eastern game, Rip Raapana was favored to fill the quarterback position. Raapana obliterated all hopes of the Viks for victory by making Eastern's only touchdown of the game, kicking the point, and adding the field goal that spelled doom for the Viks. Vern Tucker of Whitworth was nominated to one. of the halfback posts while Maurice Woods of Puget Sound very capably holds down the other. Tucker was the strongest threat thrown up by Whitworth in their 41-0 loss to WW. Also favored n the fullback position is Neil Bartlett of Central. Pacific Lutheran stakes claim to the player slated to hold the fullback honors. Jack Guyot takes preference for this position. Cannonball Places North Idaho turned out one of the fastest ends in the state in Rollie McNair, the 6 ft. 3 in. 200-lb- "cannonball" who also captains the team. Possibly for a toss-up at the other end position would be Carl Nagel of Eastern and Frank Andrews of Pacific Lutheran. Both of the boys show plenty of fight and fire on the ball field. An all-state tackle from Puget Sound, Bill Ko-walski gets first crack at that position while the other side is balanced with Don Osgood of Central. Puget HURLEY'S DRUG MART Elmo T.

Nov. 20 was a day of rejoicing for the Hoboes as they came through in a thriller with the "A" Bombers, result 31-30. It seems as though Thursday was an afternoon of close ones, The Unknowns came through in the last few minutes to defeat the Southerners 42-40. The Lost Ten seemed to enjoy the casaba sport Friday, when they defeated the .Collegians in another last minute upset 33-31/ Mathes House differed from the usual trend and really walloped the Kilroy Comets in a decision that was unquestionable, 30-15. All teams are looking forward to Nov. 24, which will mark halftime in the intramural contest, and give a hint as to who will take final glory. Sound is also rated in the guard spot with Dick Carlson but shares honors with Eastern in Don Rosbeck at the opposite position. More than holding down the center spot would be Pacific Lutheran's famous "hunk of man" Don D'Andrea. Well Matched Team With a team like this matched together and out for a victory tally, to be thrown out for either defensive or offensive playing to even some heavy opposition would have slow down such a squad. by peters Before a turnaway crowd, the Western Vikings stumbled on their debut into the '47 basketball season. They were completely overwhelmed as the Huskies more than doubled their score . . . 32-69. Those boys from the U. had an almost inpenetratable defensive and a good strong offensive. And talk about height! They really had it! Nineteen out of twenty-five of them were six feet or over. One was 6 feet, 7, and a couple were 6 feet, 6. The rest of the squad ranged on down to one person who could only stretch 5 feet, 8 inches. As for the Viks, they have eight men who are 6 feet or over, and eleven who are under. Making up for this deficit, Bill McDonald has plenty of speed—a considerable amount of it resting in such veterans as Tom Green, Seattle; Pinky Erickson, Marysville, and Hugh Ryan, the boy from Vancouver, B. C. Some of the speedy newcomers to the squad are: Stan Peterson, Poulsbo; Jerry Starr, Arlington, and Dare Ovenell of Burlington. N * The Blue and White squad will lie low for about two weeks before they tangle zvith the Seattle college quintet on the home courts. Mac will probably give his' ball flayers a good work-out now that he knows hozv they look under heavy pressure. A QUICK GLANCE BACK on the grid season shows that Dr. Lapp was well pleased with the time spent on football and the way his ball club performed. .."It was a good season, but, of course, it would have been nice to have placed first." The injuries were not overwhelming, although there were more this year than last. Also more players put in more sweater time in this than any preceeding season. And they played better than the squad did last year. About his lineup, Coach Lappenbusch had one beef— he never could get a set starting lineup. All season he kept switching— but no luck. Before each game he would be satisfied with his lineup and then the next he would junk it. Deep respect was paid four members of Dr. Lapp's 1947 Viking football aggregation this week when an A.P. dispatch from Tacoma revealed that their choice of an all-Winco team included the names of Jerry Salsgiver, guard, and Art Svidran, back. Honorable mention went to versatile glue-fingered Hal Partlow, end, and to Jack Frazier fotf his work in the center slot.

Vol. XLVI — No. 7 Western Washington College ot Education bellingham, Washington Friday, November. 14, 1947 No One Hibernates — Everyone Congregates IRC Members Journey To UBC Conflab Headed by President Bob Inger-soll, a group of twelve WWC students will make the journey to UBC at Vancouver next Friday morning to attend the International Relations club conference to be held there November 21-22. This group will be accompanied by Miss Nora B. Cummins, faculty adviser of the club. Three Round Tables The general topic of discussion at the regional conference will be "Can the East and the West be Reconciled?" To meet the requirements of the 64 delegates from 17 colleges and universities, the topic has been divided into three main areas of discussion. "The clash in the United Nations," "The clash in Europe," and "The clash in Asia." A round-table discussion will be devoted to each of these areas. WWC Students to Speak Representing the WWC contingent in the discussions will be three club members. Ingersoll will speak on the topic "The security council." Speaking on the "Marshall Plan" will be Keith Stearns, while George Dowd will discuss "The clash in Europe." Chief speaker at the conference will be Peter H. Odegard, president of Reed college, Portland, Oregon. He is the author of several books . and has contributed frequently to such well known periodicals as "Our Time" and "Nation" magazines.

Coronation ceremonies will take place at Battersby field. In the event of rain the event will be postponed until the "W" club dance Saturday evening at the armory. Surrounding Miss Wilson are her four princesses, Lois King (left), Billie Lewis, Joanne Knowles and Gloria Carey. Ready One-Way Traffic Week-End Shindig Schedule Attention all students! All students using ASB tickets will ease traffic if they use the gate on the north side of the field. If every student will sit in the east side bleachers a better rooting section will be formed. Profile Review Shows Variety By PAT MCLAUGHLIN Publication of the Profile, long awaited by students who wish to add telephone numbers to their "little black books," took place Monday. The quality of paper, the type of printing, and the fine illustrations, combine to produce a booklet that is decorative as well as functional. Such articles as Bill Hunt's "To the Tune of the Loon,'.' or George Dowd's fanciful "When it Comes to the Future" add some needed spice to the contents. The meat is added to the literary plate by Halldor Karason and his lucid, well organized explanation of "The ASB and the College Curriculum" and by Declan Barron's "Then as Now." Wanted: Music Teachers! Bob Moblo does a workman like job in outlining the need for music teachers in the educational field. President W. W. Haggard, in tracing the growth and history of WWC, launches the Prof ile to an auspicious beginning. However, a few of the articles,' such as "Our Future Just Passed" by Mary Lou Borchardt, and Connie Martin's "But It's Really Like This" fall below standard. The latter is poorly organized.

Welcome Mat Extended By College As Parents Day Program Approaches One of the many popular features of Homecoming is the Welcome Mat for fathers and mothers of freshmen on Sunday, November 16. Written invitations have been mailed to parents and an enthusiastic response is indicated. "The affair has a singleness of purpose," said Declan Barron, chairman of the program committee. "It has always brought a fine, cordial relationship between students' fami-leis and the college." Parents Meet Instructors The plan for the afternoon provides opportunity for parents to meet class instructors, to see the campus, and to enjoy a brief social and the staff of the college. From 1:45-2:15 members of the faculty will be at designated positions in the main reading room of the library. During this time the freshmen will have an 'opportunity to introduce their parents to their instructors. Following this brief period of introductions, Dr. W. W. Haggard will make a short speech welcoming the parents to the campus. A brief musical program will be presented by the college choir under the direction of Bernard Regier and the string quartet directed by Dr. Frank D'An-time with other parents, students,drea. Voters Approve Con. Revision Approximately twenty - five per cent of Western Washington College's student body availed themselves of voting for Board of Control candidates last Wednesday, November 12. Out of the 1,202 members of the association, 302 students went to the polls and elected the following candidates: Nita Clothier, four quarter woman; Warren Tiffany, four quarter man; and Alice Robbins, two quarter woman. A little over half of the voters, 185 students, expressed their opinion on the amendment to article, eight of the ASB constitution. The amendment was approved with 170 voting for the amendment and 15 against. Because of conflicting schedules, no assembly was held to introduce the candidates to the student-body; however, the constitutional amendment was discussed briefly during the Homecoming assembly held Monday, November 10. Homecoming Dance For Armory "We'd like to make this the biggest and best Homecoming Dance ever and we invite each and everyone of you and your guests to attend," stated Les Winders, co-chairman of this year's Homecoming Dance, to be held in the armory on State street, Saturday, November 15; from 9 p. m. until 12 p. m. Gordie Downs and his band will render the music for this informal dance sponsored in honor of the old grads. At intermission a program will be given, the queen and princesses will be introduced, and refreshments will be served. There will be no charge for this dance, but students activity cards will be required for admittance. Guest tickets may be obtained at the Dean of Mens' office. Alumni Banquet Plans Ready The annual Homecoming luncheon for Western Washington College alumni at Edens hall will be at 11:30 a. m. Saturday, President W. W. Haggard, of the college, announced Wednesday/ Dr. Haggard and William Roth-geb, president of the Bellingham Junior Chamber of Commerce, will welcome alumni, while Ralph Neil, president of the WWC Alumni association, and Oliver Ingersoll, Olym-pia attorney, will respond on behalf of the old grads. Also to be heard from will be Trygye Blix and Natalie Blix, brother and sister, both in the Tacoma school system, .Homecoming Queen Sigrid X and her court, and Cap-. tain Mel Lindbloom, of the football team. Student Body President Halldor Karason will preside at the luncheon. green light flashed from the heavens weather control tower. Storm Dispersement But, downstairs in co-chairman Jay Lapp's Clip Joint they are taking no chances on the fickle fancies of out-dated Greek gods. Daily consultations are being held between Homecoming committeemen, WWC scientists and local airmen. "If they can drop dry ice into cloud formations to .start precipitation," advised Declan Barron, "it may be possible.for us to drop hot coals from a plane, and disperse'any ad- ' verse formations that may appear on Homecoming's horizon." Mr. Thomas Hunt could not be reached for comment. Armstrong Is Ready However, with favorable or in spite of unfavorable weather, WWC's annual fun-frolic will go off as scheduled. "No item has been so insignificant that it was overlooked in an endeavor to make this year's Homecoming an enjoyable one for Western Washington graduates and visitors," remarked Phyllis Armstrong, co-chairman of the year's big event. Student Rally Tonite, 6:30 Queen Sigrid X and her royal court will be the center of attention tonight during the downtown serpentine starting at 6:45 sharp. "No cars will be permitted in the parade, with the exception of those being utilized by Queen Sigrid," remarked Wade Haggard of the parade committee. Haggard stressed the fact that ample parking space will be available at' the' parade kickoff point. Students will form at the corner of Holly and Forest.

However,' general information, booths may be necessary to properly explain, the greatly enlarged and liberalized curriculum that has made its appearance here since your departure. This year's enrollment breakdown indicated that WWC 'is still primarily an education institution. In the fall of 1946 only 38 per cent of the entire college student body of over 900 indicated their intention of entering the field of education; whereas, 49 per cent of 1947's record enrollment of 1,200 have chosen education as a career. The attractiveness of education as a profession was greatly enhanced by the liberal allocations made by the 1947 state legislature. , ' * Another important step forward taken by that lawmaking body was the passing of acts enabling former Washington Colleges' of Education the right to grant the master of education degree and the bachelor's degree in liberal arts. This years enrollment attests to the popularity of this legislation. Our fall enrollment is only a beginning of bigger events that West-em Washington College envisions for the future. Monetarily speaking WWC is fast becoming the major industry of the city that has harbored it since its inception back • in 1899. The total monthly payroll in 1906 reached $2,862 against an impressive $50,000 each month in 1947. In addition over $2,000,000 has been poured into an extensive campus-expansion program. Play,/'Skin Of Our Teeth/' Presents Action And Laughs WORLD MAY SEE ICE AGE'RETDRN. This is the heading of a news report of last Sunday's Seattle Times. Dr. Edward S. Deevey, Jr., of Yale declared that the studj of pollen deposited in glacial lake bottoms, shows that the United States is in the midst of a long-time cool trend. Thornton Wilder, author of WWCs drama department's next production, "Skin of Our Teeth" which will be presented December 4, has jumped the gun a bit in putting the ice age into the year 1942. In the first act, the ice walls are crowding down on Excelsior, New Jersey. The Antrobus family is feeling the chill. Their name is a thinly disguised allusion to "anthropoid" man. They are symbols of all of us: the race of Adam. At the end of the first act the family and refugees huddle about the last dying ember as the world cools. It is only the fast action of ushers and audiences that enables us to escape the ice age. Brirlesque of Atlantic City The second act is an amusing burlesque of Atlantic City. Here the Mammals of the World are assembled in convention. Everybody is having a wonderful time when a new crisis breaks. This time it's the deluge. Again Noah's Ark story is enacted off the Atlantic City boardwalk. Again we escape merely by the skin of our teeth.' Up-to-Date Stuff The last act is as modern as the latest talk about a new world war. The last world war is just over. The Antrobus men come home—the Antrobus women crawl up from their air raid shelters. Again we attempt to pick up the pieces and to arrange a design of peace. The play ends with an impressive procession of the midnight hours, the philosophers who admonish man about himself and God. "Skin of Our Teeth" is several plays in one: a delightful domestic comedy and a heartening inventory of those qualities that have enabled man to survive; his faith and endurance. New Maneuvers In Offing At Game Many new and interesting changes will be noted in the band during the half time activities at the Homecoming game tomorrow. The band, under the direction of Donald C. Walter, will' march in a new formation, and will introduce new types of counter-march. "There is a surprise awaiting the spectators of the game during the half," announced Walter. "All I'll say is that its there is 'Feudin' and a Fussin'.'" This special feature will be included along with the regular formation of letters representing each school, with respective school songs. Mr. Walter, as drum major, and three baton-twirlers will lead the band in the serpentine parade tonight. They will march in their new formation, six files and eight ranks. -They have a larger band now than previously. It consists of 56 members. Dining Hall Accommodates HundredMen —Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald Opened this fall at a cost of $200,000, the men'i residence dining hall is modern, fully equipped. The hall has'a capacity of over 100 men per meal, and serves threesmeals a day, seven days per week. The first two meals each day are served cafeteria style, while dinner is served family style.

By P A T M C L A U G H L IN Back in the days when the hip flask was considered a necessary part of a well dressed man's equipage, when women first bobbed their hair, and raccoon coats were worn by college males, jazz burst across the musical horizon with the sudden brilliance of a meteor. Musicians divided into opposite camps, preachers preached in pulpits against it, and anyone could get into a first class brawl by _. - - • ' taking either side, on the merits of this new style of music. Things had just about settled back to normalcy when a light fingered musician stomped out some boogie-woogie and started the fuss all over again. The cry was raised that man was becoming musically primitive. Be-Bop! A few months ago in an obscure New York City restaurant, a few of the boys kicked music back another few hundred years with a style of noise making that is called "Be- Bop". Dizzy Gilespie is credited (or decried) as the originator of this musical horror, and is at present its leading exponent. Just what Be- Bop music is, no one but those who play it seem to know. It seems to be a pattern of music liberally sprinkled with Be-Bop and Bloop Bleep.

For the latest survey prices on skis, contact Jim Loring at 501 High street. Jim reduced one of his sticks to kindling on a trip to Mt. Baker last Saturday. Charlie McRae, who witnessed the mishap, said that Jim looked like one fine cartwheel flying through the air . . . Jack Purdy has resumed his keeping of regular hours at the Hospice—in the morning . . . Ye Inn extends its heartiest welcome to all you old grads. Be sure to drop by. Men's Residence Hall Homecoming! Watch for the novel display that the residents of MRH will have out oh the front door steps. I'll wager no .other house will have anything more unique—and that goes for Daniels', too . . . MRH's thespians, too, will have quite a program for tonight's assembly after the bonfire. Talent galore . . . At Wednesday night's house meeting we finally got around to reading and approving and adopting the House Constitution. It took quite some time but when we adjourned (around midnight) we were assured that we had become a self-governing body . . . We're all business this week—trying to avoid all personal topics—don't want to embarrass anyone—least of all yours truly . . . And we repeat: don't miss seeing the Homecoming display we consider to be tops this year. It's constructed by the residents of MRH—isn't that statement enough? Senior Hall Even though we didn't cop the queen title we can lay claim to the two prettiest princesses for Homecoming, Lois King and Jo Knowles . . . Dorothy Gruver went home to Shelton last weekend. "It would have been perfect," she said, "If only I hadn't spent all Monday in the dentist's chair." . . . Burning the midnight oil last week was Nita Cothier, who has been writing script for "The New Era" . . .Most of the Senior Hallites have been bewailed the fact that last year's best dress is too short for the Homecoming dance, but clever Nita Jorgenson made one with that "new look" all in one night. Edens Hall We won again this year, kids! Even though we only had one candidate up for her royal highness, Edens still came through with another queen. With Claire as Sigrid X, Homecoming can't help but be a success! Congratulations to all the royal court . . . "When is .the new heatirigr :plantr going into operation?"," is the cry that's been echoed through the halls this week. We're getting plenty tired of going to dinner in our coats and building bonfires in pur rooms to keep from freezing to death. Sharon Wallace has even resorted to dining in her ski togs. However, it's kind of hard to eat with mittens on! . ... Charlotte Ellis and Joan Wear were up skiing over the holiday. In spite of the swollen ankles, they wouldn't have missed it for the world! . . . Room 202 now houses a new member named "Roger". We understand he's a pet pig, but who's he named after, Jeannine? . . . Marj. Westerlund and Kay Beatty need a bigger mail box for all their telephone calls. And speaking of telephone calls, Jean called MRH the other night and then hung up on them, and why? "Orders Of The. Day" Encourage your folks to come: wire, phone, write, or pass the word for them to attend Parents Day. . This is not a stiff, formal occasion. It's fun! Procedure: It's easy! Usher your folks into the library before two o'clock. Introduce your instructors. They will be easy to find at designated stations in the big reading room.

Lappy's Squad Again Struck acoma Stadium Jinx IJaS)iic.of the most thrilling climaxes of the football season Western put on a final splurge of power to carry the pigskin to the CoHegVof Puget Sound's one yard line last Saturday. It was Jerry Karnofski who threw the 23 yard pass to Mel Lindbloom as the final-play of the overtime game, and the hopes of the Bell-ingham rooters, to say nothing of the football squad, were dumped again as Lindbloom was hauled • down three feet from scoring territory." :The final score was CPS, 6; WWC, 0. Dick Carlson, CPS guard, picked up a wide Western pass and made a spectacular dash, from the CPC 45 yard line, behind powerful blockers to the Vik goal, 55 yards away for the games only tally. Muffed One Although Dave Smith started down the field on what might have been a six pointer he couldn't get up enough speed to out-run the two Logger men that brought him down on the CPS 45. As Coach Lapp says, the squad was good defensively but on the offensive they were rather lax. For that m a t t er both teams played good defensive ball. The five man line that the Loggers used wasn't too hard for the Viks to get used to. Lapp stated that too many times in football the defensives are' wrong, but in this game both schools were right.-. Good Aerials Those who saw the game probably noticed the remarkable increase in power at the beginning of the second half. This power was c a r r i ed throughout the final periods. Western completely out-passed the Loggers and collected 15 first; downs to their 3. Warren Wood was the outstanding kicker of the game. Savage Scalps Sought by Vikings Viking Lair Scene Of Cheney Invasion ^haicltt jiom lite oenclt Maple Sport Will Make Headlines By HAL GRONSETH A f t e r Saturday's Homecoming game we turn to the maples and basketball. The team has been turning out for a couple of weeks now and is trimmed to working order, rhe sportlight turns from the football coach to "Big Bill" McDonald, the basketball coach. The first game is one. of the roughest, on anyone's schedule, the University of Washington. Last year the Viks held them fine in the first half, then the walls crumbled and down came the Viks. This year they are trying to make up. for that defeat. Look at the material and let it speak for itself. Move Tall Timber There are ten lettermen back from last year with twelve freshmen and a couple of transfers. The height, which was lacking last year, is here. There isn't a monster on the team, but there are a few 6 foot 4 inch boys that can stretch quite a way. No. I Boss Man Well . . . it was a good and exciting finish anyhow. That Tacoma, Stadium seems to be a jinx to Dr. Lapp's squad this year, two games dropped, and by the same count—6-0. Maybe the gang is just resting up for the Cheney struggle tomorrow—let's hope so. The .game ended in a series of pass plays, the last of which— Jerry Karnofski to Mel Lindbloom—w*as stopped on the one yard line. It was both Lindbloom's and Karnofski's engineering that carried the ball in the 83 yard closing comeback. "-';::'• + HOMECOMING, the gala day in Western football! Old Grads, Queens, Princesses, College spirits and football will be on the agenda for tomorrow—one of the biggest days of the year. The main event will commence at 1:30 at the Girard street lot— Eastern Washington Savages vs. the Western Washington Vikings. Not only does this promise to be one of the most thrilling games-bf the football season but it is to be the final and decisive game of the 1947 Winko league. Will the Savages tie with the Gladiators and will the.Norsemen take a second place? ..Let's all turn out to see for ourselves. » . • • • • - • * The-game with the men from Cheney will show much of the same opposition that Dr. Lapp's boys met with in last week's tangle with CPS, only it will be much stronger. As Lapp put it, "We'll nave to be physically superior to Cheney to lick Cheney." They have a much stronger standing ball club, and they are much stronger offensively than we. The Savages use a five man line as the Loggers but they have much more weight to back it up making it highly effective. Talking about weight their line averages up to about 193 pounds and the backfield average is close to 171 pounds a man. Lapp has been working his squad overtime in preparation for the Saturday tilt—every night and all Tuesday afternoon,.. -Most of the drill has been on downfield blocking. - . - " • • ' : " ; * Little 'short of disaster struck Dr. Lapp's Blue and White squad when Lee Stout was injured in the CPS game and Tommy Poe broke his collar bone during scrimmage last Monday. Stout pinched thejierves in his shoulder and that will put him out of the Cheney game. Tom, the big 200 pound fullback, will probably be laved up for quite a while. The head man in Western Football is Coach Charles F. Lappen-busch— or as he is more commonly known about the school—Lappy. Hundreds, of people and alumni know and speak to Lappy but few of them know much about his football career. Twenty years ago Lappenbusch graduated from Buckley high school. While there he was a four sports man — f o o t b a l l, basketball, ^baseball and track. High hurdles was his specialty but he missed the state meet by one foot, being beaten in the district meet. During, two years at CPS he played football and baseball. Another highlight was the trophy he won . . . for having the highest grades, of any member of the football squad. Then in 1929 Chuck transferred to the University of Washington where he played on the super-varsity eleven under Coach Bagshaw. The next year Jim Phelan was signed on as coach for the U. of W. and Lapp was a regular at left guard for the Huskies. He was selected All-Coast guard that year and also won a card of merit as All-American. Lapp graduated in 1932 and then worked as assistant line coach and scout for the Huskies. The next year he went to Albany college as director of physical education and athletics. ..It was in '33 that Lapp came to WWC. He is now rated as one of the outstanding coaches of the Pacific Northwest. In 1938 his football team was one of the few undefeated and untied ball clubs in the United States. • He was instrumental in the setting up of the Winko league. Dr. Lapp's latest proposal is the formation of a Tri- Conference league,, embracing the smaller colleges in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and including the Universtiy of British Columbia. by peters Mel To Skipper Savage Game By BILL BAKER Sedro-Woolley fans can be proud of the exploits of their own son Mel Lindbloom, in his role of field general at Western Washington. This is the 22-year-old quarterback's second year at Western Washington. 1946 saw the 190 pound footballer . come directly from the army and take to the quarterback spot like..a duck to water. Injuries at PLC The mud bowl at PLC seemed to be Mel's downfall as well as Coach Lapp's. On a try through the line he managed to sprain his ankle, and was helped off the gridiron. As this accident happened in the first quarter, Coach Lapp claims, "it hurt the Vikings considerably." Hickenbottom Will Return to WWC Back from the wars is two year track letterman, Eddie Hickenbottom. The army veteran left WWC shortly after Pearl Harbor after making a name with Sam Carver's track squad. Eddie was wounded in the Philippine campaign in March of '45. It was just recently that the doctors decided they had to amputate his leg below the knee. Hickenbottom intends to register at Western Washington next March on his release from the hospital.

It looks as though the cry will be "beat Hospice A" from now on, at least on Tuesday afternoons. Hospice A has lead the league from the start, which puts them in the class to beat. The Collegians tried to call an armistice, but Hospice A wouldn't hear of it. All of the scores fell down this week, and it looks as the holiday took its toll. Hospice A High High single game was Jack Kelley with 179, and Fred Gaboury was next with 175. High game total was Kelley again with 337, and high single series was Hospice A with 754. In the other games Men's Hall No. 2 won on a forfeit from Mathes; Lapps lost to Hospice B; Tramps got a forfeit from Sehome; Men's Hall No. 1 got a forfeit from Men's Hall No. 3; Daniels took three from the Alley Cats; and Hospice A beat the Collegians three. Football Names '40 to '46 "What were some of the most outstanding football players since 1940, and where are they now?" This was the question thrown at Coach Lappy the other afternoon. Lapp looked astounded for a moment, then looking at the ceiling he replied thoughtfully. "WELL . . ." "In 1940, let's see, that was two years after our championship team. Ah! yes, Bob Schness. quite a halfback that boy, weighed only 160 pounds, but when he hit a line the opposition would swear he tipped the scales at 250. Norm Nelson shared honors with Bob in the scat-back position, Norm seemed to go all out for the gridiron sport. He is now assistant football coach at Anacortes high school. In 1940's ?rid club the fullback spot was aptly taken care of in the form of Pete Gudyka. Pete was killed in the last war when a rear turret in which he was gunner was blown apart. Les Was '42 Skipper An excellent field general was Les Smith of the 1942 Western team. Les excelled in the quarterback spot for two years making his first letter at guard. An all around sportsman and three year letterman, was Norm Dahl, outstanding end for the Vik '42 eleven. Don Packard also will be remembered at Western for his good ball handling in the flanker position. Don played ball last year and he is now assistant coach at Longview. The 1940 team saw two outstanding guards, John Cornwell and Jim Hollingsworth. John made his four year blanket in football, but had to leave the state after graduation because he was allergic to fir trees.

The theme of the show, as reported by Nita Clothier, chairman, together with Dick King of the assembly, is to be "Expansion." Following the freshman bonfire and pep rally, the student body will come in a caravan to the auditorium where they will see a new and different show. What Attractions Representatives from the different houses have selected various talent to perform the skits which will consist of such attractions as a chorus of sixteen workmen on ladders and scaffolds; artist-lecturer, Jack Graham; bathtub singer, Don Fink; a classroom scene of fathers and their children plus many other acts which will carry out the theme. Music for the show will be offered by Bob Moblo's six piece orchestra and lyrics by "Hoot" Vetter. The script is being written by committee members. Minstrel Show Friday The regular student assembly Friday morning will be a minstrel show gt; which is also hoped to afford entertainment to WWC students. "New Era Coming," States Arntzen "North America is in the midst of a hungry world," stated Edward J. Arntzen, economics instructor at WWC, before a combined meeting of the Bellingham and Vancouver, B. C, Y's Men's clubs, held last Tuesday, November 4, at the local YMCA. Arntzen spoke to the group on the topic, "World Food Problems and Prospects." He stated that the world is approaching a new era which will require a great deal of resettlement if hunger is to be avoided. He analyzed the world, food problem and its influence on the future of North America, whose standard of living is rising, while the rest of the world, in terms of food, is forced to lower its standards. Arntzen's talk was followed by a lengthy discussion. Approximately 50 people attended the meeting, including members and their wives. Sweaters Approved For Yell Leaders At Board Meeting If time permits* the question of the proposed amendment to the ASB constitution, which deals with nominating procedure will be discussed openly in the Homecoming assembly, Monday, November 10. _ The Board of Control, realizing that the student body should receive every chance to clarify the initiative suggested the open discussion in their meeting held Wednesday, November 5. Taking definite action on the sweaters for the yell and song leaders, the board voted to turn the task of securing a permanent emblem for the pep sweaters ovr to a committee. White sweaters will -be secured in time for the Homecoming festivities but improvised emblems will have to be used. The board voted to purchase the sweaters for the yell and song leaders who remained in office for three quarters at their last meeting held October 29. The co-op board is to become active following authorization given to ASB President Halldor Karason by the Board, to appoint the committee. One representative from the senior, junior and sophomore classes and one faculty member will serve on this committee. Reactivation of the college's honor society is to be sought by the board. The matter was deferred, pending investigation. Veterans Give Annual Dance Whatcom county V.F.W. posts are sponsoring the annual Armistice Day dance at the Armory Saturday, November 8.

Two Publications Offered Students Next Week Fall Profile Vending Begins This Monday "It's new, it's here, it's different. In short it will be on sale Monday morning in the main building," reports Betty McLeod and Barbara Cozza, editors of WWC's newest publication, the PROFILE. The PROFILE, a 28 page durable covered booklet, is a composite directory of student names, addresses and telephone numbers. A "blue book" of faculty addresses is included. Roland Hovde designed the cover. . • . _ • - "Articles by Dr. W. W. Haggard, ASB prexy Halldor Karason, De-clan Barron, Bill Hunt, and other students make this year's PROFILE the best ever published," said Kathleen Golly, business manager of the publication. Canary Chosen Pat Paul was selected Wednesday afternoon as the female vocalist with the pep band. She will be featured with Fred De- Bruler in the pep band's coming assembly. STRING QUARTET WELCOMED AT ARMISTICE ASSEMBLY WWC welcomed its new string quartet in the Armistice day assembly this morning. The quartet, organized by Frank D'Andrea, consists of Dr. D'Andrea and Norma Jean Swan, violins; Lia Chiorando, viola; and Jeannine Hinthorne, cello. Memorial Issue Tossed Into Students Hands Members of the WWC student-faculty committee are giving students of the college^ a voice in the selection of a war memorial to the college's 32 war dead. Those attending this morning's assembly were given questionnaires asking for suggestions and giving a few tentative choices concerning the form that the memorial will take. The war memorial committee, composed of Victor H. Hoppe, chairman; Ruth Weythman, Dr. Stewart H. Johnston, Bob Dickson, Joyce Mueller, Nita Clothier, Gloria Carey, and Ivaloe Stillman, has met with controversy in the selection of a tribute which the college can afford to erect and' maintain, indicated Dr. Johnston during the week. He mentioned that a living memorial is wanted, something more than a cold, impersonal plaque which may be forgotten in a few ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 November 7 - Page 2 ---------- ^^^p^^^P^i^PipSISii^^Sifirppiip?^ m Western Washington (Mfsge of Edjjcatigh, ^lir^ha^/Ayas^ingtqo Friday/NQye^beftiJ^ Ghanges Needed In Parking Facilities Parking space is definitely, at a premium on campus and in the vicinity of the College this year. An expanding enrollment is jockeying for time until more convenient and safer parking facilities can be constructed and utilized. In the meantime residents near the campus are receiving their share pf the overflow injhe form of clogged driveways and an over parked High street. Over Three Hundred Autos On Campus This Year Thursday morning at 10:00 there were over three hundred automobiles parked near or on campus. The blacktopped area directly south of the main building was filled to its capacity (79) long before 8:00 o'clock classes convened. --From then on it was model A's vieing with iPackards for other available positions. Ninty-nine parking spots extending from'in front of the men's residence halkto and including the newly graveled area near the Campus, school were filled before the hour was over. Parked automobiles on both sides of the street facing the MRH constituted a dangerous traffic and pedestrian area. One hundred and seventeen more vehicles were distributed from the MRH corner, down High street (both sides) to the Viking restaurant. In this area resident's private parking entrances were,partially plugged by students irritated over WWC's overtaxed facilities. Renovation of Ground Urged A suggestion that the removal of a portion of that sod area running north and south from the main building to the gymnasium, and extending from the sidewalk to the black-topped driveway leading into the main parking area be" removed is worth consideration. By the removal of this area, which is approximately 425x50 feet, additional facilities would-be available for over ninety cars. Still another suggestion has been that a portion of that lawn area lying across from the MRH and directly, behind the library be removed and surfaced. Changes Merit Consideration In view of our pressing traffic problems it is necessary that parking be given a high priority. The suggested changes would not mar the fabled beauty of our campus. On the contrary the present haphazard method' of dispersement is creating an eyesore that College visitors will not forget. In conjunction with the students needs is the all powerful request for more space to accommodate non-college groups who regularly attend athletic contests, concerts, plays, and other social functions at WWC. - Traffic Expansion Without Construction Many people feel that subsidized education is here to stay. Colleges all over the nation are losing their pessimistic ideas in relation to a sharp decrease in enrollment following the expiria-tion of veterans benefits. Colleges all over the nation are taking steps to counteract dilemmas arising from expansion. One of their vital problems is identical to our present one of parking facilities. However, they realize that "traffic expansion without construction" in "every field cannot go on for long. It is equally time that WWC make remedial changes. Improvements Are Unsuitable College authorities have attempted to vizualize needs and have provided temporary graveled areas for students. -These heavily graveled spots have been virtually turned into quagmires following heavy rains. Some light car owners have been observed busily shoveling paths through the gravel in an attempt to extricate their stalled vehicles. Such incidents are definitely not conducive to a general feeling of good will toward WWC. What is needed is not more temporary set-ups like these, but good permanent , hard surfaced, drained areas ' to accommodate guests, faculty, and students. Such facilities are within our grasp. Veterans' Office Changes Hours In answer to the problem of WWC veterans not being able to get downtown by 5 p. m., the Veterans Administration office announced this week that the office woujd remain open from 9-5:30 Mondays through Fridays. Personnel of the office, which is located in the Fine Arts building on Holly and State streets, further stated that the office will be closed hereafter on Saturdays. lt;w*yn Established 1899 Member Pbsoctated Cbfle6ide Press Published every Friday, except the month of September by the Associated Students, Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington.

The plane trip turned out to be a very successful experiment and the Viks may take to the airlanes more frequently; The game started with Clayton kicking off to the Pirates and on the first. Whitworth play — —^— center Jack Frazier intercepted a pass on their 25 yard stripe and on the next play halfback Lee Stout romped over for the 1st td. Clayton converted for a 7 to 0 lead. The next touchdown came oh a series of power plays which finally ended with fullback Svid-dran, going over from the eight yard line. Clayton again converted for a 14 to 0 score. Whitworth tried the Viking line to no advantage and the Viks took over to score their third touchdown, this one on a 23 yard pass play from back Norm Sansregret to end Walt Clayton who made a beautiful catch. Once again Walt booted the extra point. The half, ended with WWC leading 21-0. TUCKER HITS RECEIVERS In the third period the Pirates showed their only power of the day as halfback Vera Tucker hit his receivers for numerous gains but an end came to this when Hal Partlow, on a vicious tackle forced Whitworth to fumble a lateral which Karnofski gathered in a nd raced 58 yards for the fourth score. Sure-footed Walt converted. The Viking fifth touchdown came on another pass interception that ended in a TD with Gayda plunging over and Clayton converting. The last score came on a pass from Simpson to Wardrop but this time Walt failed to convert and the scoring ended. (yhaiclit "flovn Ike Bench . . . by peters The big Viking squad did it again! They chalked up another win, this time it was against the Whitworth Pirates—beaten on their own Pine Bowl field in Spokane. It was quite a day for the Viks—across the state and back again with an impressive 41-0 football victory in the meantime, and all in one day. Away after breakfast and back again in time for dinner. The experiment turned out so well that the airlanes will probably be used quite extensively in the future for the transporting of Western's teams. Yes, it was a good day for the Viks. It was in the first few minutes that the game was given to Dr. Lapp's men as Lee Stout broke off tackle to make the first six marks on the scoreboard, and of course Walt Clayton was in there to add another point. Shortly after, Jack Frazier intercepted a pass and then on a line play Art Svidran went over from eight yards out. After another formal and polite pause Norm Sansregret flipped an aerial to Clayton and another six pointer was marked down. Almost needless to say, Clayton made both conversions. * Early in the second half the Pirates showed their only flash of power of the game, when Vern Tucker got off some good passes. But the hopes of the WhitWorthian rooters were downed again as Jerry Karnofski picked up a lateral and went on a 58 yard jaunt to rack up another score. Then Frank Cayda went through the line to make number five. The final TD was on a pass play, Cliff Simpson to Loren Wardrop. Coach Lappenbusch will take his battling Viks to the Tacoma Stadium for a non-conference tilt tomorrow with the College of Puget Sound at 2 o'clock. The way things stack up the Loggers have a team that is not to be underestimated at all. Although they got a bad start in the season they have built up a good and strong ball club. Dr. Lapp will probably send down a squad well drilled in air arm tactics. He has to have a well rounded squad for that Cheney game. In the right tackle position the Pirates have a man that was chosen tackle for the all-state eleven last year, Bill Kowoski. Fullback and center are filled by two extremely powerful men, Warren Woodland and Chuck Horjes. Coach Prank Patrick likes to use the single wing. Returning this season to the maple courts for "Big" Bill McDonald are eight of last year's lettermen and also three or four letter winners from previous years. Planning ahead for a busy season the coach has about thirty men turning out. Of these he expects to wind up with a squad of around twenty. Although a complete schedule has not as yet been made out, there will be several more games this year than there were last year. Each college is to be given three chances at the other. The way things look now there will be* about fifteen home games. However, there is one catch; the first game, with University of Washington, is to be played less than a week after the close of the football season. As many potential players are still in football uniforms— this complicates things. * 'ROUND 'N ABOUT . . . Down south, it was Prank Svoboda that went across the 1-yard stripe in the final three minutes to Central a 7-0 tally over the St. Martin's Rangers. * Across the border, in Canada, the Thuhderbirds finally came up from the bottom to whip Lewis and Clark college 21-1 ..^ This was the game that broke the 13 game jinx that has prevailed over the UBC since they joined the Pacific Northwest Conference last year. The conference standings now list the Canucks in the seventh place with one win and four defeats. Lewis and Clark is on the bottom rung. Anybody willing to bet on the Collegians when they play the Daniels hall so called "hot shots" November 14? Take_ it from me, those Collegians are an up and coming ball squad. Maybe they will be the ones that will take the crown away from the Daniels men. To put the name Collegian before you again, look at the bowling score of Cecil Thomas for last Tuesday—203. In my book it says "pretty good." Some of you people ought to go down to the Twentieth Century one of these Tuesday afternoons—those fellows clin put oh a real exhibition for you. Talking about exhibitions, that Hospice "A" team has hung onto the first place just about long enough. WATCH the Alley Cats and the Collegians!

The big guns are beginning to knock the wood all over the alleys. The Alley Cats, Men's hall No. 1, and Men's hall No. 2 are beginning to push the Hospice "A" team. Several of the others are showing good form and are not to be counted out of the running. There was a mix up in the standings of last week. The Sehome team won three instead of losing three as reported. This was on a^ forfeit from Men's hall No. 3. Thomas-Morsman Top Scorers This week the golden throne goes to Cecil Tfiomas of the Collegian for his fine 203. Dick Morsman of the Alley Cats takes the first two steps below for his second high of 195, and also for his high two game total of 387. The Alley Cats con-tine to hoard the sportlight as they had high team total with a 793. Standings Fluctuate In the games this week the Alley Cats took three from Sehome; the Tramps lost three to the Collegians; Daniels squeezed by Lapps for three; Hospice "A" won three on a forfeit from Men's hall No. 3; and Hospice "B" lost three to Men's hall No. 2; Men's hal No. 1 won three from Mathes.

He has scored 61 points in six games. Jim played first-string basketball at Sedro-Woolley high school and is an enthusiastic supporter of the casaba sport. Daniels now leads the B league with six wins and no losses. They have scored 312 points with 167 scored against them. This gives them an average of 52 points per game. Ray Polley follows Beasley in scoring with a total of 60 points. One of the top games of the intramural season will be Daniels vs. Collegians next Friday, November 14. The Collegians have won three games and lost two. Complete Cleaning Service "Our Experience and Equipment Is Your Guarantee of Quality" ViennaPPPPP

Armistice Day Plans Ready For Assembly Elaborate preparations are being made by the Music department of Western Washington College for the Armistice Day assembly, November 7. Dr. Frank D'Andrea, Bernard Regier, and Don Walter have prepared a program which consists of a varied and interesting assortment of talent To start the assembly off, the band, under the direction of Walter, will play some appropriate music leading into the National Anthem and the flag salute. The audience will then join together to sing one verse of "America." Quartets to Sing The college male quartet, including Duane Lewis, Glenn Bergh, Fred DeBruler, and Roland Peterson, will present three selections: "Beloved Land," "Sibelins," and "I Love a Parade." The newly formed and harmonious string quartet will also play the beloved "Andante," by Tschaikowsky. A s o p r a n o s o l o , "Roses of Picardy," will be sung by Barbara Stockton, Glenn Bergh, the tenor of the quartet, will give a vocal solo, "Americans Come." Fred DeBruler, another quartet baritone, will sing, "America the Beautiful." Norma Jean Swan will play a violin solo. Choir to Sing The college a cappella choir will blend their voices in three selections, "In Endless Song," by Guy Booth; "Death and the Maiden," by Schubert; and "Grand Old Flag," by George M. Cohan. The date again is November 7, the place, the college auditorium. Parents Asked To Visit WWC Letters inviting parents of freshmen students to attend a special "Parent's Day" held annually at WWC will be in the mail soon, according to Declan Barron of the invitations committee. ^ The occasion, which is designed to further relations between parents and the college will, be held November 16. A program and tea in Edens hall, and conducted campus tours, will constitute the program for the day. Students are asked to invite their parents," said Barron, "and are assured that this is not a means whereby parents can check on the progress of students." One Will Be Elected Queen Sigrid —Photo by Bernie Lepeska. When shown the above photo picturing the ten lovely gals competing for the coveted positions of HOMECOMING QUEEN and PRINCESSES one enthusiastic admirer sagely retorted "There is enough beauty in this photo to make Casanova turn over in his grave." Candidates pictured above are: sitting (I t o r ) MIMI ANDERSON, LOIS KING, GLORIA CAREY, JOANNE KNOWLES, HAROLDINE RUTH-RUFF and BILLIE LEWIS; standing (I. to r ) MARYIJUNE EIDE, MARTHA MONAGHAN, CLAIRE WILSON and CAROL NYQUIST. A slight deviation from former years procedure for the selection of an aspirant who will become Homecoming Queen was announced today by Dan Northcutt and Marijune Eide of the Queen committee. As in previous years the royal court will consist of one queen and four princesses. The queen will be selected by popular vote of the student body. The two runnerups will be the princesses from the two upper classes regardless if they are both of the same class or not In addition, one sophomore and one freshman princess will be elected. Voting will occur in the auditorium at a special Homecoming program November 10. IRC Representatives Journey To UBC For Congress Meet Delegates to the International Relations Club Congress to be held at the University of British Columbia, November 21-22, were chosen in a special meeting of the WWC IRC Tuesday evening, October 28. An even dozen IRC members, headed by club president Bob Ingersoll, will attend the two day conclave. Theme of the congress will be "Can the Split Between East and West be Reconciled?" Among other business taken up in the special meeting was the question of accepting new members. For a time, the question threatened to disrupt the meeting, but eventually it was decided that new members could be admitted immediately. English Department Publication "The Writer" Makes Fall Debut By BOB DICKSON, ASB Vice-President The Writer, created last year, to serve as an outlet for the creative writings of WWC students, has grown in stature with each succeeding issue. Since it is composed entirely of material submitted by the students to a student board of publishers, it's continued existence depends on a constant flow of new material from the pens of the students. The latest issue of "The Writer" contains less variety than previous issues. However, some of the present contributions show a marked improvement in literary ability. King Repeats Easily the best work of fiction is A. R. King's "So Is It Now," which is vastly superior to his "Corn Cob" which appeared last spring. "So Is It Now" is a fast moving, well written story of a teen-age sailor on shore leave with a month's pay in his pocket and an inner conflict between a desire for social approval and recognition by his shipmates, and the moralistic training of his childhood. Author King writes with an ease and ability which makes for very enjoyable reading. Karason Returns Another writer whose current contribution surpasses h i s previous works is Halldor Karason, and his essay on "Koestler, the Disillusioned" might' well serve as a model for students who have term papers to write. Karason gives the reader an insight into some of the under-lying reasons for the inescapable bitterness and outright cynicism w'lich is found in the worKs of Arthur Koestler, one of the great contemporary authors. ' Local Poets Two newcomers to the difficult field of poetry, Lola Samuelson and A. Nabor, show definite promise, with Miss Samuelson's "Living" meriting more than just passing notice. R. B. Moblo's "Musician's Malady" doesn't compare with his music ability, in that it lacks the color and vigor of style so necessary in all literary efforts. Thornton M. Ford's "Essay on Higher Education" contains some well meaning thoughts, but. is lacking in organization. "All-American" Writing in an overworked, pressrelease style, S. J. McLaughlin's "All American" fails in its attempt to combine humor with satire despite the authors apparent borrowing of such names as "Polecat University" and "Salonica" from Al Capp's famous comic strip. An anonymous selection entitled "A College Course for Security," and your reviewer doesn't blame the author for wishing to remain unknown, concludes this issue of The Writer. (Ed's. Note: The Writer will be distributed to all English classes. Others interested in obtaining copies may get them from either Dr. Ce-derstrom or Mr. O'Brien.) Competing, for honors to represent the senior class .as queen are Martha Monoghan and Claire Wilson. Both candidates are transfer students to WWC from Seattle colleges. Miss Monaghan is a 19-year-old education major from Bellingham, while Miss Wilson a 21-year-old brownette from Aberdeen, is a primary education student. The junior class reached deep into their horde of beauties and nominated Gloria Carey of Bellingham, and Lois King, Shelton, to be their queen applicants. Both Miss Carey and Miss King were Publications Prom princess candidates l a st spring. Senior hall claims King as a resident there while Edens hall girls are reported to be strong Carey supporters. First of the three sophomores in the contest is Mimi Anderson, 19- year-old fishing enthusiast from Friday Harbor. Miss Anderson is a repeat contestant from the 1946 q u e e n campaign. Next in line, according to alphabetical order is Marijune Eide, 19, sophomore art major f r om Bellingham. Blond, blue-eyed Eide was also a Publications Prom candidate. Lovely Joanne Knowles concludes the list of girls offered by the sophomore class.

Proposed Revision Passed by Board A long overdue constitutional revision (as provided " in Article XVI11 "of the ASB constution) of that section per- - taining to the nominating convention (Article VI11, Section 1) is.welf underway and wi11 be presented to students on the ballots issued for the November. 12 election. This revision deserved, the considered attention of every college student. Veteran WWC students recall the furor created following the nominating convention prior to the election of the ASB preside'nt and vice-president this spring. A true over-all picture of the fallacy and inadequacy of the present method of electing ASB officers and Board of Control members was impressed upon students. It was proven that little group representation was actually being displayed. Instead of individuals acting as their, organization had dictated that they should they would often times cast aside their own- candidate and support who ever their own personal selves desired. IS THIS REPRESENTATION? It has happened in the past . . . possibly for years . . . it happened last year . .' -. isn't it plausible to presume that it will occur again at the coming convention. SUCH AN ANTEDATED NOMINATING DEVICE SHOULD BE OBLITERATED IMMEDIATELY. Campaign Platforms Remembered Students campaigning during the last spring quarter election gave considerable room on their platform for an immediate revision of this section of our constitution. Voters backing these candidates have not forgotten. Questions have been asked all this quarter . . . "Where are the results of that 'campaign oratory' which flowed so freely last spring?" Such a revision has been adopted by a constitutional committee appointed by the Board of Control. At Wednesday's board meeting it was approved by the board. As provided by Article XVIII it is up to you as individual voters to decide the fate of this revision. For your consideration, and discussion a rough draft of the proposal is printed. This draft is not worded exactly as it will appear on ballots but the essence is here: Compare This With Present Procedure 1. Each club and class may nominate 1 (one) candidate and 1 (one) alternate for each position open. (6thweek of each quarter.) 2. Following nominations of candidates clubs and. classes must submit names to president of ICC for certification. 6. Names of all certified candidates- will be placed on ballot to be voted on in primary election to be held the Wednesday of the seventh week of each quarter. 4. The three candidates for each position receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary election shall have their names placed on the ballot Tor the general election. 5. The general election shall be held the Wednesday of the eighth week of each quarter. 6. No sticker candidates in primary election. Sticker candidates will be allowed in the general election only if the petition is signed by one-tenth of the student body. , 7. Provisions for run-of-fs will be publicized later. Constitution Needs Airing Occasionally When you study this, either individually or collectively, remember that constitutions are not cold rigid documents that go on with ages. Instead they are resilient fabrications designed to be altered as an altering society necessitates that they be revised. Freshmen students are particularly encouraged to study the above proposal. The students that you elect to represent you are the trustees of thousands of student dollars. If more competent bankers can be obtained under a new election procedure then it is within our power and duty to instigate a new method. Clubs Activities Explained Separate meetings of the all-college AWS and Norsemen clubs took place at the usual students' assembly last Friday to acquaint everyone with those organizations. The AWS meeting was directed by its president, Gloria Carey who led a discussion on projects for the coming year. Arlene Swanson, vice-president, introduced the members of the AWS commissoin and explained the offices of the club. A musical program followed the business session. The Norsemen were called to order by President Ron Dodge who explained the purposes ofthe men's organization. The faculty adviser, Clyde McDonald, made a few observations concerning campus regulations. The' rest of the meeting consisted of colored films about football. Ted Gary, president of the council, then introduced the lead-ing officers of each club on the campus who in turn told something of the purposes and activities in which they were engaged.

This was only one of the five student voices heard on the WWC newscast over KVOS, Thursday, October 23, a t 4:45 p. ni. The college radio class got off to a good start with their first program which included a brief history of WWC and its athletic department.

Over a cauldron bubbling w i t h ' w i t t y ideas may be seen the- lovely members of the Homecoming display committee, trying desperately to cook lt; up something different and eye-appealing enough to "cop the cup from Daniels!" Yep, they're really in a stew . . . The Homecoming skit committee is also busy on their project, but with so much talent in the house that shouldn^t be too difficult. They have several good ideas lined up, and we all know that with Dolly Mac- Arthur for chairman it will be a darn good show . . .Aside from these activities the girls are all pretty busy lining up dates for the Edens hall tolo shipwreck party. Costumes are going to be quite a problem to the kids here . . . none of us have ever been shipwrecked. (At least not to the knowledge of this house reporter!) Editors: Penn and Hanson Men's Residence Hall "In the wee small hours of morning, when the cold gray dawn settles o'er^comes a gentle tapping, tapping, at the window on the first front floor." When the housemother asks you to bring your problems to her, Cooper, you shouldn't wa.it until the wee small hours to do that. And then again it could have been "the man , with the green unbrella" . . . To be "short-sheeted" once in an . evening would be lesson enough, but twice—and within a few minutes after the first time . . . It's at the dinner table that we hear so many fine, rich tenors and Saturday eve's dniner brought out one such golden-voiced troubador . . . Ryan spent another weekend at home learning how to knit . . .' Put a leash on that fish of yours, Lenning, and you will have less chance of losing it again . . . Can't think of anything with which to mention Charlie Ray's name . . . This is getting worse. Daniels Hall For those who are wondering why lights are on at Daniels at 1:00 and 2:00 a. m. for the past week, the explanation lies with the mid-term tests. Besides, what the heck are you doing out that time of night anyway? . . . Guys are getting knocked off like flies, what with gettin' married or engaged. Leroy Wade and John Terrey are entered oh the going list that heads the long line of gone boys . . . See you at Whitworth. Mathes House The Norsemen's dance kept several of the boys out of the infirmary, until Monday, when all cards and magazines disappeared from the house. There is nothing to do but study around here now . . . Al Iraola was drafted as chairman of the Homecoming committee at our last house meeting. Chaos and pandemonium •will no "doubt reign at Mathes on November 15 under his able direction. Senior Hall Never let it be said Senior hall is a dull place. Things started early Friday afternoon when Alice Robbins, Shirley Harrison and Jo Rucker were in a car accident coming home from school. Jo was cut" badly around) the face. All three were bruised and have been limping around the house. Several of the gals attended the Norsemen's dance, among them was "Oh ho" Phyllis Jones and "Oh ho" Mary Baker. Two girls were in Seattle for the U. of W. homecoming, and Betty Butler went home but not to see her folks. Madge McKeever also went home to Hoquiam. Phyl Armstrong has been sounding like a foghorn because of a bad throat. Then there are the girls who have been trying to learn, to inhale! and last, but not least, there's one King in this school who will get our vote for Queen. Edens Hall What with all t h e c a l s making posters and working on committees for our coming "Shpiwreck Shuffle" dance, it's beginning to sound like a crew of the Navy has taken over Edens hall. (On second thought, from the looks of the monitor room last week-end, maybe they have!) In case anyone hasn't heard or just doesn't know what the appropriate costume for the big event is, ask any Edenite and we'll set you straight. Jeannine Guy is doing a swell job as chairman of the affair, and promises that it'll be the best all-college tolo to hit the campus . . . Edens. hall is proud to announce that we also are represented in the Homecoming Queen contest by Claire Wilson, lovely senior candidate . . . It seems Cy Systma and Bev Cameron are trying to compete with Danger-field twins. They say there's no similarity, but even the faculty are getting them mixed up.

Peggy Nunamaker seems to be finding an added attraction in football lately. What "Tye's" it up, Peggy? . . . Jean Felhaber needs a lot of "Scoll" these days, and it isn't from a sun lamp either . . . Ivaloe Stillman gets the "Blues" when it rains. Could be from your pom-pom . . . We would like to know who the Off-Campus girl was who went up to the men's residence hall to .-use the telephone, and spent the rest of her time wandering around the halls with Les Winders. Sounds like fun. . Hospice Inn Bowling discussions at Hospice Inn are rife this week with, the Hospice "A" team, consisting of four Jacks and a Fred leading the league, with Hospice "B" team, captained by LaVern Brock-mier, coming along in second place . . . With the idea in mind of getting everybody in the house to play, men from "the best house on the hill" are playing basketball on teams all over the campus. The result at home is a percentage that reads something like .000. Don Fink reported the other night, "We got hot tonight, we only lost by 13 points." . . . Bill Meyer has a head full of ideas for the Homecoming program. Bill is chairman of the house committee on that activity . . . Ben Cary, pianist, has joined the ranks of the Hospice . . . . *Nuff said—Friday Harbor! December Wedding Plans Revealed Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Eide, of Bellingham,- announce the engagement of their daughter, Marijune, to Wade S. Haggard, son of Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Haggard. Last year Miss Eide was a candidate for Publication Prom princess while this year she is not only co-chairman of the queen committee for Homecoming but also a nominee from the sophomore class for princess. Haggard, also very active in student affairs, was Homecoming chairman for 1946, and head of the pep committee this year. . ; After their late December wedding, Haggard will continue with his work toward a BA in education.

""^ , The Vik 37 yard line was the starting point for a Western march that resulted in 6 more points for the first half tally. The theme of the touchdown play was razzle dazzle, in the form of Hal Partlow, end, taking the ball on and end around for a four yard dance over the Idaho home line. 9-0 was the fate handed to the lads from Idaho as the half-time gun sounded. Viks Show Power The Vik forward wall was responsible for the next score to be chalked up. Prank Gayda, back for Western, fumbled the ball to have it recovered by Idaho. When Gordon White, punter for the Loggers, attempted to kick out of trouble, behind his own goal line, the kick was blocked, for an automatic safety. The kickoff saw the Viks roll again, when Truman Pones returned the ball to the Idaho 43. The Vik power and backfield elusiveness came through again, and Svidran plowed over from the 3 yard line for another third period score. Clayton's kick was good. Gil Stewart set up the next Blue and White tally with a recovery on the Logger 13 yard line. Poe powered his way over from the five yard mark. Simpson to Scoll W i t h replacements leading the field the Viks-clicked again. Lee Simpson flipped one to Bob Scoll, and the lad took off for touchdown territory. In the last few minutes of play West-ren threatened again, only to be turned back by a fighting Logger defense. ^faaiqkt jiom ike Bench. by peters Dr. Lapp's hilltop boys are far from out of the conference race and they demonstrated this in a non-conference tilt with the North Idaho State Teachers last Saturday.. They completely overran the Loggers and chalked up an impressive 30-0 victory. The first tally was made by the man with the educated toe, Walt Clayton, as he kicked a field goal from the 10 yard line in the first few minutes of the game. Hal Partlow took the ball about midway in the second quarter and went four yards around end for the score. In the third period the Loggers attempted to kick out from their 8 but the attempt was fouled by most of the Vik squad, which rushed in and blocked it for an automatic safety—making the count 11-0. Although Clayton didn't make the extra point on Hal Partlow's play he did connect after Art Svidran carried the ball over from the three yard line. Early in the fourth period Gil Stewart recovered Gordon White's fumble on the Idaho 13. After a penalty Big Tom Poe took the ball five yards for the count. Dr. Lapp kept throwing in replacements and then on a pass play, Lee Simpson, to Bob Scoll, Scoll picked up a lot of friendly interference and took a short jog across. Western's air arm was much more accurate than it has been for some time. The squad completed six passes of twelve attempts. The Idaho teachers, in eleven tries, only completd two. The line play of Western was really outstanding and they dished out some real punishment to the Loggers. Bob Gates did a fine job as quarterback, taking Mel Lindbloom's place. Twenty-two Western ball players, Coach Bill McDonald, trainer, and Les Smith, assistant coach, will leave Bellingham by plane tomorrow morning. This is the first time in the season that the ball club has used planes. This morning three cars of players left to try to beat the rest over to the dueling grounds. Looks as if Coach Bill McDonald can really take his pick for this year's basketball squad—more than 60 players turned out for the first day of practice—last Monday. However, many of last year's lettermen are still in football uniforms and therefore will miss the first game of the season. Of the 60 men that first turned out he will pick twenty from which he may choose prospective team members. Look out Whitworth! The Vikings are still very much on the warpath and they're headed your way! After handing the North Idaho Teachers a 30-0 whitwashing, which is more lopsided than most had expected, the Viks went right back into training for the Spokane contest tomorrow. Luckily Coach Lappenbusch's squad pulled through with no serious injuries so they are all set for the Pirates' homecoming game, but by the looks of things that will be a tough game. Not only will the thin air be hard to cope with for the Blue and White squad but the Whitworth boys will be full of homecoming spirit and also, they will be playing on their own field. Coach Lapp is well satisfied with the way the starting lineup worked out last Saturday so he plans to use the same men to start tomorrow. ..However, if Mel Lindbloom is able to play he will probably take the quarterback position, instead of Bob Gates. This set up will put Jack Frazier - in the center position with "Moose" Zurline and George Yonlick at tackle. Right and left ends will be taken over by Hal Partlow and Dave Smith while Jim Kent and George Salesgiver are put down as guards. Lee Stout and Jerry Karnofski will take care of the halfback positions and Art Svidran is left to manage as fullback. The first round of intramural basketball ends November 18. However, there will be enough time for the six top teams to play a second round. The teams are becoming more evenly matched and the final scores are closer together—except for one or two lopsided games. Both of the leagues have a decided, undefeated leader—at the present time. But they are going to have to go some to keep ahead of the rest of the league. A couple of those squads down in the lower1 brackets are looking pretty good.

Vik Squad FlieS For Whitworth Battle; Pine Bowl Tomorrow WWC's hard fighting Viks will fly high for their game with Whitworth -college at the Pine Bowl in Spokane tomorrow afternoon. A total of 21 of Coach Lappenbusch's gridsters will board a West Coast Airlines plane at the Bellingham airport around 3:30 Saturday morning and will arrive at the Spokane airport at approximately 10:00 o'clock. Although 36 men will make the trip, only the first 21 chosen to play will fly. The remainder have left in cars Cowboy Keown Guards Again By CECIL THOMAS Possibly a little older than the average of the Viking squad but absolutely no less versatile, 25 year old Chuck "Cowboy^_JKeown has proved himself to be one of the most able right guards ever to play in the Vik lineup. When, necessary, "Cowboy" also fills the quarterback position with near equal ability. With a 5 ft. 7 in. 190 lb. frame to maneuver against the opposition, he proves that he's a tough opponent to —Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald any opposing defense or offense thrown up. Not only is he fast, but a slick customer to hold onto the field. Nebraskan at Heart Hailing f r o m Ord, Nebraska, "Cowboy" previously played guard for WWC in 1941. Possibly this is where he got the experience which is invaluable to him today. After serving some time as a Navy Chief in World War II, Chuck has returned to WWC under the GI Bill of Rights. This is undoubtedly a break for the Vik football squad. Too Bad Girls A junior this year, Chuck is married and the proud father of twins. This alone could give the Nebraskan the fighting spirit for which he is known on the field.

In the early stages of the league some of the teams would forget when to play, but they are organized now, and are progressing fine. Both leagues have a leader, undefeated no less, at least at the present time. Here are the game scores for last week: Friday, the Playboys were swamped by Lost Ten, 99 to 15; Mathes lost a close one to the Collegians, 22 to 18, in the B league. In the A league the D Horns squeezed a 21 to 18 win from the Five Aces, and the Hoboes went into overtime to defeat the A Bombers, 25 to 24. Tuesday, Sehome was dunked by the flying Swedes, 36 to 21, in the B while the Unknowns took a 43 to 29 decision in the A league from the Southenders. Tuesday, in the B league, the Comets whipped the Playboys 64 to 16, and Daniels eked out a hardfought win over Mathes, 36 to 35. In the A league the Teetotalers lost to the A Bombers, 41 to 32, while the Five Aces beat Hospice 28 to 24. Casaba Sport Lures Stars Big Bill McDonald was greeted by approximately 60 ball players, Monday, October 27, the first day of basketball turnout for the '47 season. This group is one of the largest that has ever turned out for Western Washington. Many of last year's lettermen are still in football uniforms, and will not be ready for the first contest of the year, when the Viks meet the U. of W. November 21. Condition Important The players found that physical »condition is an important factor in the casaba sport at Western, when they went through a rugged 15 minute scrimmage the first night. The bulletin, in the halls, will be more crowded than ever Thursday morning, as that is the means by which Coach McDonald will let his prospective ball players know of the first team cut. Twenty men will be all that will be out on the maple court Thursday night. WWC Vs. CWC—Opener Saturday, February 7, will be the first game of the season, also one Future Coaches In Making By LILLIBBIDGE For the first time in his long coaching career at Western, Head Coach Chuck Lappenbusch has three assistants to help him with his overburdening duties. Two of the assistants, are former WWC lettermen and field generals. I n Coach Chorvat, Lappy has one of the top field generals of the school. Chorvat played two years at half before moving up to quarter. In 1938 he quarterbacked the Viking team to a Winco championship. Chorvat is now backfield coach for the Vikings and also travels with the club. L a p p y ' s e n d c o a c h , D i ck Abrams, is a former Bellingham high star and a two year letterman at Washington State College. He does most of the scouting for the Viks and runs a feed store in Bellingham as a full time job. The line coach position goes to another Western quarterback in the person of Les Smith. Les was field general on last year's squad and a terrific defensive man. Smith has had much to do with, the shaping together of that big Viking line. He is still attending school at WWC as a full time enterprise.

Pep Parade, Songfest Planned For Bellinghamites Saturday To gain enthusiasm for the Viking-Northern Jdaho game, a pep parade through the main business district of Bellingham is scheduled for Saturday at 4:30 p. m., according to Bob Ingersoll, general chairman of Students Athletic and Public Relations committee. Highlights of the parade will be the WWC band in full dress uniforms, under the direction of Don C. Walter, bandmastft, and the Valkyrie club. A feature attraction is the Ameri- : : :—: —- : Everybody's Informal Tonight can Legion Drum and Bugle Corp which will also participate in the rally. Student Serpentine At 4:00 p. m., the band will play for all organized houses; members of these houses are urged to join together and march downtown with the band. A serpentine of college students will assemble on Forest street between Chestnut and Holly streets. They will follow the marching untis through the town. If well received this parade, will be the first in a series of this type of rally. Plans are being made for torch lighted serpentines and other special events. Order Out of Chaos A special committee meeting was held Wednesday to discuss better coordination of the band, cheers, and singing. Members attending were Dr. Frank D'Andrea, Don C. Walter, Wade Haggard, Jess Winders, and Bob Ingersoll. It was stressed that students sit together in the large reserved roped-off section. More pre-game activities were suggested and students were urged to learn their school songs, which are listed in the Navigator. The "W" club will patrol the rooting section. Marine Band Here For Performance Coming to the Bellingham high school auditorium on November 1, will be the United States Marine Band, under the sponsorship of the American Legion and the Bellingham Herald. There will be two performances, one for students and teachers at 2:15 p. m., and one for the general public at 8:15 p. m. Designated as "The President's Own" on July 11, 1798, President John Adams approved a bill that established the organization, which plays for all the inaugurations and recently has been touring the country. Photo Display On Exhibition VENICE, a photographic exhibition prepared by the editors of *Life magazine, is being shown at WWC beginning October and continuing through November 1. This exhibition, which will be on display in the studio gallery of the Art department, is an expansion of the article,,Renaissance Venice, and is the third to be based on the Life articles dealing with the history of Western culture. College News-Views Aired Over KVOS By College Students Seven radio-minded students began training this week in the radio broadcasting class under the direc-, tion of Sene R. Carlile. The chief purposes of the course are to train the students in the fundamental skills of broadcasting and give them an awareness of the social implications of radio and society. The immediate objective of the course is the development of the weekly broadcast which is presented every Thursday afternoon ait 5 p. m. over KVOS. The students will write their own scripts and do all their own broadcasting. The program will include all campus activities, club and social news, sports, dramatics, musical programs and all school developments such as school finances, official news, curriculum and building construction. The purpose of the program is to keep the public informed on all college activities Comedy-Satire Play Proceeds Rehearsals for the comedy-satire, "The Skin of Our Teeth" by Thornton Wilder, are well under way. Pracr tices are still held in room 308, for the props and costumes must arrive from New York before any staging or dress rehearsals can be managed. "The student-actors have displayed' much enthusiasm toward the play. Wednesday, they went through the entire first act minus scripts," reports Mrs. Marion Ingersoll, assistant director to Mr. Hoppe. She also confided that the students are well-fitted for their roles which include everything from bathing beauties to drunken conventioners. ' The complete cast has not yet been selected; however, it will be announced next week. • X-Ray Results Not Available To Date Eight hundred and seventy-seven students and faculty were x-rayed in the mobile unit this week, and these x-rays have been sent to Seattle to be developed and read by x-ray specialists. Reports will be sent to Ray E. H y a t t , executive-secretary of the Whatcom County Tuberculosis League in Bellingham, who is responsible for bringing the unit to WWC. Miss Elmina Boothby will then receive the records and she will notify students who need rechecking. Sociology Instructor Reared In Illinois, Educated In Colorado, Finally Settles In Bellingham By ED BROWN Working as a group worker in settlement houses and tenament districts in Chicago's P o l i s h and Czechoslovakian sections may not be your idea of a pleasant or profitable job, but to Donald P. Irish, sociology instructor, it was partial fulfilment to a life ambition. "I have always been interested-' in people and in some phase of social or educational work," he explained, giving reasons for his choice of profession. "I.also believe in informal as well.as formal education," he added. Irish, newly appointed, faculty member, was born and reared in Illinois. During the period between 1941-'43, he received a B. A. degree for undergraduate work at the University of Colorado, married a girl also attending that institution, and worked as a group worker in Chicago. Returning to school at George Williams college in Chicago in 1944, he obtained an M. S. degree. * From 1944 to 1946, he and his wife were co-directors of Meredith County school, a country school in New Hampshire. Last summer, Irish returned to the Colorado university where he completed work for a M. A. degree. "I suppose you'd like to know about the usual things, such as hobbies and sports," continued the young instructor. When given the affirmative, he went on, "In arts and crafts, handwork, folk dancing, and music are preferred by my wife arid myself. Our favorite sports are tennis and mountain climbing." Hosteling Couple Hosteling was also revealed to be a favorite of the Irish family. (They have a six months old baby daughter, Terry) In the past, this cycling couple have traveled through 11 states and parts of Canada. Irish laughingly remarked, "I suppose our hosteling days are over for a while until the baby is older." Anybody got a small-sized tricycle for sale? Married Vets Top Scholars Dr. Morton Renshaw has revealed some interesting facts concerning the WWC grade point averages. Last year's statistics show that the total grade point average of the students was 2.49 with the women slightly above that of the men; the veterans slightly above non-veterans; the married veterans 2.60 in contrast to the unmarried' veteran's 2.44; and transfer students somewhat higher than non-transfers. Ranging in classes: freshmen had a grade point average of 2.30; sophomores,. .2.53; juniors, 2.57; seniors, 3.01. The education majors held a 2.47 over other majors 2.37. Those groups with the highest averages were seniors. Two women under the G. I. Bill had a 3.44 average while single, non-veteran senior men attained 3.22. Library Display Attracts Many By DAVE ORSER "Rivers of America" is the current book display now featured in the library corridor. Each book is a brief, refreshing glimpse at the folklore and historical background of the people who have lived on the banks of some of our country's rivers— the Brandwine, Shenandoah, Sangamon, Wabash, Hudson and some fifteen others. Whether you're intrigued at the thought of ice-cutting on the Kennebec on-a cold blue day in Maine or merely prefer to meander along in a leaky old row boat past moss hung trees and banks of flowering orchids on the coffee-colored Swan-nee, you'll enjoy a few hours with one of these books. One of the series is a real cowboy and Indian thriller out on the brown range country of Wyoming—"Powder River," and another, "Upper Mississippi," is the saga of our intrepid Scandinavian forefathers on the prairie sod of the midwest. And for those of you who plan to travel next summer and would like to know all about the country you'll visit there is also on display the ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 October 24 - Page 2 ---------- ^§£t!S^;^*^£3^^;S^^rA"^r^l^S lt;tf5^ Western Washington College of Education, Beilingnam, Washington F r i o f e c f e o b e r ^ ; !^ Ial $ . Need Expressed For New Athletic Field "BELLINGHAM NEEDS A NEW FOOf BALL STADIUM" —Charles E. King, editor of the Bellingham Labor News, told his readers in a front page editorial following the recent football game with the University of British Columbia. "The huge crowd at Saturday night's game at Battersby field gave plenty of evidence that present facilities are entirely inadequate for a crfy of our size with an educational institution comparable to Westenf'Washington College, King went on. • Living War Memorial Revived Editor King has expressed the sentiments of many Bellingham sports fans admirably. Up here on the hill a continued1 feeling of apathy.toward the subject still.reigns high. ..Last year it was proposed that a living war memorial in the form "of an athletic field be erected to perpetuate the memory of WWC's war dead instead of some small inanimate slab that would lose significance as decades of this atomic age roli by Two years have elapsed since the final surrender was signed. Other communities have gone ahead with their memorial plans. The parks, pools, playgrounds, and athletic fields that dot otfr nation attest that it can be done with the concerted effort of all. Next Legislature Doubtful "Our legislators should take cognizance of our needs. If state funds can be obtained for building a suitable home for football up on Sehome, that' would be the easiest answer," King concluded. . We feel that the next legislature may not be too generous with the public schools funds. But, at the same time ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY, AND IF WE DELAY LONGER, TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW IT WILL BE THE SAME OLD STORY. BELLINGHAM NEEDS A NEW,FOOTBALL STADIUM. • Legion Drum-Bugle Corps Adds Color To Pep Parade Citizens of Tacoma were robbed Saturday. Robbed of an opportunity to witness two of the top football teams in the Winko conference perform, and robbed of a proposed homecoming fete. But more important to us they were robbed of 'a chance to view the first tangible evidence of the regeneration of college spirit that has ventured on Sehome hill in many years. Students Dissatisfied With Reports Many reports indicated that students were far from satisfied with the" failure of the Tacoma broadcasting company to bring over the ether waves a truer description of the size and spirit of WWC's rooting and band section. Bellingham citizens raised an eyebrow over such statements as " . . . a scanty crowd or around three hundred perons is in the stadium tonight . . ." with little or no mention of our vocal and miisical renditions. "Where is thaj- great display of community and college spirit that we have heard so much about these past few weeks?" they asked. Pep Procession Planned Saturday This Saturday afternoon at. 4:00, weather-permitting, they will not have to judge by what others say—an opportunity is open for them to see for themselves. The WWC band, fully uniformed, will begin a pep procession from in front of the College beginning at 4:00. They will be met in the business district by the American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps who will also display their talent. Get behind them with ticker tape, posters, or what have you. Let Bellingham know that it has a college up here on the hill. lt;wryn Established 1899 Member Associated GoHe6iate Press Published every Friday, except the month of September by the Associated Students, Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington.

No. doubt some students could do with a couple of aspirin during exam time but these Pills aren't edible; at least in our civilized way of think- . ing. You might get a different answer from the Hottentots. Along with the Pills, the Prim and Prigg are five Bells. Some professors are of the opinion it is noisy enough in the classroom with ordinary students but with five Bells flapping their clappers it is all.. the teachers can do to hear themselves think. Johnsons Prevail ' Getting down to statistics we find the common denomination of Johnson most prevalent in this institution. The gt;rJohnsons total: t ^ e ^ c ^ ; ; sum of 19 with the Smiths trying to "keep up with the Johnsons'' but missing it my two figures. There should be la Smith or a Johnson in every class.in school. As for the color angles, there seems to be a bit of everything but the predominant color is Brown: Thirteen of these head the list with a touch of Gray, a little White and some Green to brighten it up. Next on the list in numerical order come the nine Andersons. Wholesale migrations are beginning again, only this time up to WWC. Royal Family Again getting into the oddities and unpronouncables, we. have the two Kings in this school. Bow down students and lick the royal boots as your rulers walk by. It isn't every school that has TWO despots. Miles Standish again ranks first in historical handles. As the cause of much hair tearing on the part of the professors come Jeschke, Moly-newx, Stoerchli, Bylsma, Cruick-shank and Geijsbeek. These more or less tongue-twisters upset the entire alphabet to pick their names. Math Book Needed At College Pool Stewart Johnston, head of the Mathematics department here, was explaining the mathematical difference in the buoyancy between salt water swimming and' fresh water swimming. Said Mr. Johnston: "A man weighing 180 pounds will have five pounds more buoyancy in salt water than in fresh water." It seems there was quite a discussion on the subject last week in the locker room of the college pool. Director Sings Bernard Regier, director of the college quartet and the a cappela choir, sang three selections—"I Love Thee," "The Lord's Prayer," and "Because"—at the wedding of Anna and Don Potter at the Garden Street Methodist, church last Friday, October 17. The program to have been presented to the Bellingham Rotary club last Monday, October 20, has been postponed until the following Monday, October 27.

But really, dear reader, we do kind of miss the mixed company during the meals. Shouldn't something be done about it?... . . So far, nothing has been said about feeding conditions .here at.MRH,;but that kind of noise is being anticipated —never fear . . . We hear that Ryan learned all about knitting from one of the boys over the week-end . . . After four weeks here at MRH, Cliff Simpson and Jack McStott learned that there was a cabinet behind their mirror . . . Fashion Note: The latest thing in Canadian evening attire, consisting of a black, green and red argyle house-coat, is being sported by our own "Snuggles" Moldowan . . . And one of the biggest topics of conversation concerns last week's game at PLC—and, to use the pun for the last time we hope, did you get wet? . . . Be seein' you all at Saturday's game. Daniels Hall All you could hear around the house for the past few days after the PLC game were sniffs and grunts. The sniffs coming from "de fellows dat sad in de raind aid nighd ad de foodball game," and the grunts were contributed by the players who had "nothing to say whatsoever." . . . Howard Breviek, Bud Yonlick, and Mel Lindbloom joined the moan and misery department with minor bashes and bruises, and all three are nursing sore throats. Some days it just doesn't pay to get up . . . I t was readily agreed by all hands who went to the game Saturday from the house that a good swimming team would have knocked 'em dead. Well, you know Lush's old proverg, "Water is for babies and baths." Mathes Mouse Several enthusiatsic boys left Mathes last week for the PLC game; their enthusiasm didn't last through the game. They did stay long enough to shrink any knit ties or wool socks they might -have worn . . .' Famous last words—He: "May I take you to church Sunday?" She: "That would be chummy."

Hope you're up soon, Don, and don't pay any attention to that formaldehyde Mr. William Francis Myer is carrying around. Those fellows who journeyed to Tacoma Saturday to view the game in the "Dust Bowl" arrived home in varying degrees of dampness depending upon the resistance of their topcoats to the downpour. Mr. Joseph Allen "Fugitive From. A Square Meal" Borek suffered a sprained ankle in basketball practice last week. Judging from his performance at the Chuckanut Shell last Friday night "Lover BoV" was not seriously incapacitated by this misfortune.

IbaiGkt T^mTlteBench . . . by peters Western Washington Vikings rowed off the field last Saturday after receiving their first dunking of the season. The Gladiators had splashed over them in a 6-0 deluge. Upsetting the Vik hopes of leadership—temporarily at least. In a sea of mud and a driving rain the more nautical-minded Lutes waded down to the Vik end zone to make a six pointer in the first period. This was the six points that cost Dr. Lapp's ball club their-lead in the Whiko league. It was halfback Frankie Spear who chalked up the fatal tally that spelled doom for the Vikings. • • During the course of the game the hilltoppers were down almost within scoring territory three times. When the final gun was fired the Blue and White squad was six yards from a possible score. However at one time they were on the one foot line, but because of the standing water on the field they were unable to determine just how close they were. Although they muffed their chance it was not their fault for they put up a terrific struggle. * About the only lament that was heard on the rain, other than making it a miserable game to play and watch, was that it forced all the plays down through the center and right into PLC's big, 280 pound,. Eton D'Andrea. Dr. Lapp squad wasn't able to work D'Andrea as they had in past years because the Gladiator line was too tough. Consequently there were not many plays around the ends. • Some of the Gladiator squad are almost certain to be named for the all-conference team. A couple predictions for this squad are: Jack Guyot, who according to Coach Lapp is "one of the best and toughest runners that I have seen so far." Guyot was playing in the fullback position during the rainstorm and with his power smashes he was in the Vik's*hair all through the game. He also was the top yardage gainer for the game raking in 115 yards. Kyllo was the Lute tackier that was always just as busy as he could be breaking up the Vik plays. If he keeps playing as he did in our game with PLC he has a good chance of making the conference team. * As for the hilltoppers, both Mel Lindbloom, this year's captain of the squad, and Norm Sansregret came out in the first part of the, game because of leg injuries. Mel bruised his ankle and may be^nobbling for some time yet, and will probably miss playing Idaho. Hal Partlow was the outstanding end in the game and from what Lapp says he has earned his place in the starting lineup for the North Idaho game. The combination of Dave Smith and Truman Fones came through to gain a lot of air yardage. Bob Scoll made out exceptionally well with his kicking against the Lutes. * Even though the Lutes gained more yardage on the ground than we did, we covered more territory by the air route. They gained 164 yards by rushing while the Blue and White ball club collected 84. Western gained 74 yards by passing to the Lutes 14. The Gladiators tallied nine first downs to five for the Viks. * North Idaho has a ball club that is really hot this year. In Roily McNair they have one of the best ends on our list and one of the best that Coach Lappy's scouts have seen this year. McNair, standing 6 feet 3 inches and weighing 200 pounds, has been on Paul Wise's squad for two years. ..He takes part in a passing act—doing the receiving—while Dwight Church, 188 pound quarterback, does the flinging. * Last year the Idahoans used two teams during the game—one for defense and one for offense. The T-formation, and all its variations, seems to be a favorite with the Idaho squad. However, once in a while they go over into a single wing. The average number of years experience on Wise's squad is a little under one, which is about the same as our average. * Much against his wishes, Gil Stewart wasn't allowed to play in the PLC game. Coach Lapp was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see how Stewart was going out there in the rain. Gil was scuffling the other day with some of the other Renton boys when he fractured his jaw. By pleading with the doctor he was able to get his jaw screwed together so he could go and possibly play with the team. Whav a aeal! Get your head screwed together so you can go out and play water polo. * 4 HERE AND-THERE . . . The Lewis and Clark college football team which meets Pacific Lutheran college tomorrow will face one of the strongest offensive and defensive teams in the history of the Lutheran school. The game is to be played in Portland. * A week ago the rugged Idaho crew dropped a 19-14 thriller to Central.

THE PASTIME BELLINGHAM'S MOST SPLENDIDLY APPOINTED CAFE JOE PAGLIA 1217 Cornwall . DON CAIRNCROSS Phone 982 PLC Splashes To 6-O Victory Six to nothing, final, Pacific Lutheran college over Western Washington. The Lutes proved to be just that much better mudders than the Viking club last Saturday at the Ta-coma WATERloo. In the first period, eleven plays after the kickoff, Prankie Spears, versatile scatback from the Lutheran eleven, dived over for the six points that stood untouched for the rest of the game. The first half was decisively in favor of PLC, the Lutheran eleven seeking paydirt twice. One attempt was stopped by the Vik forward wall on downs, while the next attempt was drowned by Bob Scoll, Western quarteback, with a pass interception on his own two yard line. The power of the PLC backfield was well taken care of in the form of Jack Guyot, fullback, splashing his way for long gainers in the first half. Vik Score Attempts Fail The last half saw a determined Viking squad make three attempts to score, all to no avail. Taking over the ball on the Lute 38 yard line, the Western eleven started to ramble for their first serious threat of the game. Inches from the Lutheran goal, Dr. Lapp's boys elected to pass on the fourth down, only to have the attempt, fall incomplete. Bill Dobbins, halfback, returned Spears' kick to the 17, only to see Stout's pass intercepted and the Lutheran eleevn fight out of trouble. Pass Combination Clicks The Viks had a little trouble in the next few minutes of play, but Cowboy Keown came through with a recovery on his own 31 yard line. The Stout and Fones combination clicked for a first down on the Lutheran 34 and the Viks started their final bid for the touchdown territory. Western fought the ball down to the Lute 10, when Jake Creasey came in gt;and tried the statute of liberty play for a 3 yard gain. Lee Stout tried to split the line on the final play of the game, the Lutes holding him for a one yard gain. Jumping Jake; Star Halfback By BILL BAKER Noted for his elusiveness in the backfield, Jake Creasey was handed the monicker Jumping Jake by his teammates while running the left halfback spot in high school. The 160 pound halfback was born in Custer, Washington, where he went to grade school, majoring in sandlot football. Ferndale high school benefited by Jake's training in the form of a back that really enjoyed the sport. Football is Jake's main interest, but he still likes PPPPP

Western Washington college. To Board of Control members we say "HOW BETTER GOULD STUDENT MONEY BE SPENT? Members of the morale injected band may repay our student body money that financed the. trip by adding that little "extra push" that so rnany times makes up the difference between defeat and victory. Rectifying of Game Conduct Only One of Many Needs A number of things could and should be mentioned concerning the football game at Battersby field Saturday evening. A number of things that should be rectified for the benefit of the community and the college. . Number one on the list is the need for a separate roped-off, admittance by student body ticket only, section for members of the college WHO HAVE INTEREST ENOUGH IN THEIR INSTITUTION TO COOPERATE WITH THE CHOSEN CHEER LEADERS. To have a cheering section that can be drowned out by the opposing school is no disgrace—but, WHEN IT HAPPENS ON YOUR OWN HOME FIELD, IT'S NO COMPLIMENT. Police Negligent at Game Noticeably negligent at Saturday's game was the policing of the crowd. The athletic budget has an item "Doctors and Police . . . $40, included. The police department failed to earn its money as far as many people were concerned when their attention was distracted from the game by the asinine antics of younger people and college students, as well as Jpca I and visiting spectators. Respect National Anthems Also it is a courtesy of all citizens to respect the national anthems of visiting bands. We owe a distinct apology to our visiting Canadians for the unconcerned manner in. which we received^ their-rendition of the Canadian anthem. This was ample evidence that more planning of half time activities should be arranged between the athletic and music departments, in order to insure that a repetition of slighting incidents will not occur again. Football coaches should take into consideration that, fans enjoy watching the college bands perform and not sehcl them onto the field until it has been cleared of perform- 'ers. What the people in the stands thought and said of our conduct we do not know. Common sense tells us it wasn't complimentary though. lt;r)n Established 1899 Member AssociatedCblle6iale Press Published every Friday, except the month of September by the Associated Students, Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington.

Glamourized College Life Is Debunked In Address Today Students at Bellingham high will be treated to an entirely different version of "College Life" when Harold A. Adams, of the U. of W., addresses them today. Adams will be specificaay cnarged with the task of_ "debunking the tendency of overglamourizing campus life." Topics for his discussion will include, study habits, attitudes, social adjustment, social life, activities, liberal arts, science, general education, courses of study, with particular emphasis on the-gloomy side of education and campuses.

The Editor, WWC Collegian. .Dear Sir: As an average Canadian and a student at the University, of British Colombia, I would be very much indebted to you if you could find space in your paper's "Letters to the Editor" section to print the following remarks about last Saturday's UBC-WWC football game. I sincerely hope thjit. theyvwill.not be interpreted as lt; lt;sour grapes" oh the part of the losing side since^ the incident I am referring to happened before the game began. : V\-':^:y^p-v '^ • -.-••.' \'.'-. I am alluding of course to the playing of national anthems at such meets. As I have always understood it^ the etiquette of such an occasion, when an international audience is present, is for the home band to play first the anthem ofjthe(Visitors and then their own. You may widl ^understand then, the consternation of nearly 1,000 UBC students, who ^ of "The Star Spangled .Baniiei* first saw your band calmly march off the field leaving us standing expectantly on our feet. I don't mind telling you that we were not just a little hurt and angry at this very obvious breach of etiquette. Our spontaneous bursting out with "O Canada" without any pre-arranged s^g^ whats^ of our feelings. We were 'Iwmelrat^ half tune to play one chorus of "0_Canada," but I am afraid that the damage had been done and the bad taste still remains in many of our mouths. I am sure that none of us felt that the slight was intentional yet it was unfortunaie. We arrived in Bellingham in high spirits and left feeling insulted. Perhaps your newly formed band was not sure of what was proper for such an occasion; perhaps "6 Canada" ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 October 17 - Page 3 ---------- ^ • ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ p i i f ^ ^ i i ^ s ^ s i i ^ l \|gfllS$Pfi •^i^:. ^§1 I ^ 1 0 c t ^ | j ^ l 9p Western Washington C a i e ^ of E d u c a ^ S case ws Harborview Harborview might weir be called "Talent House" this quarter.

Berdell Smith, Arlene Swanson, Barry Stockton, and Meredith Hess are also prominent members of Valkyrie. The talent, however, does not stop here, for Rosalyn Roberts and Connie Martin are. demonstrating their acting ability in this years play—"The Skin of Our Teeth." . The other girls in the house are making a name for themselves in other activities. You all know Dolly McArthur from her "Mac's Pacts," and "Who's Who" in the Collegian last year. Margie Kingsley, who is secretary in the Registrar's office, is also an inhabitant of Harborview. So all in all, we are doing "O.K." Who said 13 was unlucky?

Two of pur house representatives involuntarily inspected the city clink and they almost received an extended invite'. Fine thing. Current events this week left a few Danielers white faced as a prize guernsey—with all this talk about closing the distilleries. Howard Breveick wishes to bestow his thanks upon his unknown benefactor that sent his name to the Nancy Jordan Lonely Hearts Club. He got a life membership. Mathes Mouse Why all the activity at Mathes? We are out to win the not too distant homecoming honors for the best house display on the hill. Our house basketball and bowling teams are also taking shape, in spite of the fact that Widge Black's absence is noticeable on the ball team and that Jay Lapp's bowling talents have been promised elsewhere. Senior Hall Engagement of the week was announced at Monday night dinner, by Madge McKeever. Blushing Madge amused us all by running around the table, and by eating her dessert under it . . . Hello Ma, Hello Pa, was the theme of the pa jama party held on Tuesday night. Phyllis Baker ably took her part as the daughter, Puz King returned to her role as Ma, Eleanor Wilbanks regressed to the child, and Phyllis Armstrong pinch-hit as the mortgage man . . .

Our housemother, Mrs. Sunday, was ill for a few days, but now she's up, canning and planning luscious food for our future. And may we add, lots of good things come in small houses. Blessing's Hall The gals at Blessing's hall held a pajama party last Tuesday evening for the purpose of electing officers.

The universal feeling which has swept the nation recently concerning the new long skirts, has been adopted by the women of Western Washington College. The new style trend disregards the opinions of the masculine members of the student body. The above models exhibit the "new look." Dick Hayes and Gene Bringhurst collaborated in saying, "One inch below the knee is all right but this ankle length stuff is going too far." One fellow who wishes to remain anonymous stated that the long skirts didn't make any difference to him because he has a good memory. Al Iraola likes long skirts, "It covers bulgy or boney knees and gives the women that Lauren Bacall look." -v Herbie Van Cleve says, "I don't them agree that they like the skirts longer but do not like the extreme ankle length. Some of the girls seen around college following the new fashions are: Dot Ryan, Har-oldine Ruthruff, Joan Shields, Mary June Eide, and Jean PSpatier. And it seems the igym- advisers have conformed, to • styles,with the new long skirted gym suits. If things like them, it makes the girls look' go any longer we'll be back to the like old ancient spinsters. Besides styles of 1915. that, it costs money." . Al Weber and Jack Jensen have differences of opinion. Jack doesn't appreciate the skirts ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 October 17 - Page 4 ---------- ^Ml^^^^^^^i^^^^^^^^l^S^6SK^^ii^$§^ ^iSg^j-^i^^iiSS^^^^^^^^^i^^i^^^^S "•;;-;t;iVi|^-1«iw\u»t' the ThundeiWrds hard ball lacking they received''^^j^s^i^0^^'Ka ly% J^k ««* «fr t i i | £ w lt; ^ ciuh tttat; was rated a ^ ^Canucks; ta^^ JackXMcSfcott, lightning fast back from Puyallup; tucked the ball behind him in a fake reverse and went across into scoring territory for the first six-pointer.

They thtok^ttuvt the Canadians go ^ blood game that we^play. But then again/it couldptoe ttaifcthey; just haven't been with the game long enough. * • A sudden switch and a little preview of what to expect from the Gladiators tomorrow. From all reports it will be a tough game from start to finish. It will probably be a full game-neither side the decided victor until the final gun is fired. According to Dr. Lapp, the Lutes are credited with having the strongest air arm of the league, almost every man is experienced in flinging the ball. John Jurkovitch, Anacortes, is the outstanding PLC passer. However, Spear, Strandis and Knuson are not to be forgotten for their passing. On the receiving end is Andrews and Hatly—the two men that gain the yardage on those aerial plays. By BILL BAKER Puyallup's loss is Western Washington's gain, in the form of Jack McStott, right half for this year's grid squad. "The Puyallup pounder, on a cutie, that sent the interference into the center of the line, tucked the ball behind him, swung out to his right and ran across unmolested for the score. McStott can run like a rumor." This is an excerpt from the Bellingham Herald. Jack is used to such journalistic splendor in regard to his favorite sport, having been all-conference in his high school career, and playing on the 1947 all-state team. Other Claims Hoquiam also has a claim to the versatile back, for Jack was bom there, moving to Puyallup when he was three. The 155 pound back, noted for. his football prowess throughout the state, has unusual talents in baseball also. He cracked the Puget Sound all-conference team two years- in a row. Mrs. McStott's boy is 18 years old; a freshman, and can be noted for his inconspicuous manner. Five feet six inches isn't very high for a footballer and 155 pounds isn't very wide. But if there are any skeptics in the crowd, travel to Tacoma this Saturday and watch McStott. Not a lopsided squad at all, PLC has a very strong line. As for their passing section, it is one of the strongest. Most of the men have played college ball and have made their letters, so they have a potentially powerful ball club. In four starts the Gladiators have not lost their footing. Although they are one game ahead of us the two teams look fairly well matched. * Did anybody have a guilty conscience' when they heard the Canadian, yell section at the game last Saturday? Those fellows were backing up their team with some real spirit. Wonder how it will be down at PLC tomorrow? What's our yell section going to be like? Not like it has been—I hope. Could it be that our yells and songs are not adequate? Could be. Maybe somebody ought to scratch the dust off the old records and drag out another song besides '{0n Wisconsin,*' or even better—write a new one. Some of you prolific musicians ought to get together and see what you can-^b. HERE AND THERE . . . The Gladiators had the Cheney game in the bag last Saturday, until the last few minutes when the finish tied the game with a 7-7-tally. The Lutes scored their touchdown when the game was only 13 minutes old. Halfback Frank Spear kicked the placement. The two teams slugged it out e v e n l y until near the close of the final period when Eastern's Rip Rippaana took, to the air. He passed to Bud Thrapp for a first down on the Lute 20. Rippaana passed to Nick Scarpelli on the four and threw another to Thrapp for the touchdown. Rippaana kicked the.trying placement with 45 seconds left. * All six teams of the Winko league will go into action again this week-end, with the Western-Pacific Lutheran game as the highlight, i Eastern Washington will cross the mountains for a Saturday night fray with St. Blartin'si Whitworth is going against Ellensburg this afternoon with each team seeking to hit the road to the conference. • • • * ' '. ' • '• Coach Lappenbusch's ball club has been stuck with a sudden attack of the flu and the whole squad seems to have a case of the sniffles; That little bug went on the rampage when he came to the College on the hill. He fixed Lapp's squad up good, and even took a bite out of the coach himself. „ The boys had better shake that fugitive from Snuffy Smith's ..bug race if they expect to meet PLC on even ground. - '"•:;-l gt;-^.^-'^L : • - v A spokesman for dfe Martin's stated that the Winko league game between St. Martin's and Eastern Washington will be played at piympia Friday night instead of Saturday night as was planned.;. .. f \ ^yihat will no doubt prove tb be - tlu£ Vikings most one sided victory ot the season was set against the UBC Thunderbirds when the -Viks" rolled over the opposition with apparent ease on Battersby field last Saturday night and chalked up the. surprising tally of 32-0/ Getting off to a flying start, the ^ Vikings scored their first touchdown to the first four minutes of play when^ Jack McStott,* a• lt; lightning- i\ quick back from Puyallup, tucked the ball behind him oh a play that^. sent the interference into the center, of the line, and swung out to his right and raced across unmolested for the score.

This time the ball was taken across by Bill Dobbins who. went 3 yards for the tally. . '.»• r; Late in "the;, second period Western's Ferndale combination of Jake Creasey and Bob Cline accounted for another score when Jake flipped an eleven yard pass to Bob for six more points. Starting the second half, Dr. Lapp sent his No. 1 crew back into action. After Ron Dodge recovered a blocked UBC punt, the Blue and White again surged ahead. This time it was Norm Sansreget who added points to the already growing Viking scoreboard. Norm hit from one yard out for pay dirt. Final Flourish A few minutes later the Viks .picked up a UBC fumble on the Canucks' sixteen yard line and scored their final touchdown. This one came with a little difficulty but it finally remained for Lee Stout quarterback, to get the ball rolling with a one yard pass to hustling Dave Smith. Although the Thunderbirds threw up a few stonewall defenses and tried their best to hold the Viks, they succeeded in completing only one pass in the entire game and three first downs to Western's fifteen. Intramural Bowlers Vie For Strikes Intramural bowling teams finally got under way last Tuesday and in spite of the fact that a few of the bowlers had never bowled before, most of the averages were kept at a fairly high standard. High score for the league was set by Don Brown of the Lapps when he rolled out a hot 221 game. A measley one point behind was7 Frank Weirauch of the Sehome team with his high of 220 pins. The high team total for a game was also held by the Sehome team when they totaled 874 pins in their second. Although this was ,the high team total for one game, the Lapps led the Sehome team to a two game total by a score of 1556 pins to 1533. In the games played Tuesdfcy, the Lapps rolled over the Tramps with their two game high score of 1556 to the . Tramps two game score of 1363. The Men's Residence House 'No. 1 team beat the Men's Residence House No. 2 team by a 1533 to 1174 two game total. The Daniels team lost to the Hospice A team" by 1244 to 1307 pins.

Vancouver Rooters To Invade Viking Lair En Masse Sat WWC students will be treated tomorrow to an example of the recently awakened feeling of school spirit that seems to be sweeping across campuses from coast-to-coast. University of British Columbia football rooters between 500-1,000 strong will arrive by special train Saturday at 5:15 to offer their support at the UBC-WWC contest at Battersby field Saturday evening. The special train, which will leave Vancouver at 3:00 p. m., will carry a supporting cast of two bands, eight drum majorettes and a bevy of curvaceous cheer-leaders. Obviously such a demonstration of Canuck school spirit will challenge the mettle of the Viking band and hollering section. Bandmaster Don Walter will have the 40-piece Viking band ready for its initial appearance complete with new uniforms.

One Hundred Citizens Polled One hundred and ten average citizens were questioned on the street concerning their attendance at WWC home games last year and for the coming season. Their attendance proved to be small. One hundred and ten persons were asked if the athletic contests were advertised sufficiently. They agreed they were not. They were even queried on possible methods of more effective advertising. The answers received by interviewers were varied. Ideas were presented which if applied with organization would assure packed bleachers at every game this year. The trouble can be boiled down to two words—SCHOOL •SPIRIT. We didn't have to go' to the streets of Bellingham to find out this part of our trouble but by bringing you to a more vivid picture of .their thoughts of us possibly a change can be stimulated.more rapidly. So here are a few of the given opinions and suggestions for improvement: Let Bellingham Know ft Has a College "We hear more about high school games . . . three people unaware WWC had football team . . . college had lack of pep which spread to community . . . make a college town out of Bellingham . . . there is practically no REAL publicity, this must come spontaneously from the students themselves . . . where is the college pep . . . the college should participate in more public affairs . . .get the school band to play before games . :,. snake dances before games or evenings preceding games'. :•. more use of sound cars .

Let's invite that friendly little pair, of twins—SCHOOL SPIRIT AND PEP— back to the campus of WWC. Let's make them our walking companions when we leave the campus. And lastly let's intro-ducethem to the citizens of Bellingham with a series of snake /dances, pep rallies,,band concerts and a WINNING FOOTBALL- TEAM. If we, students and faculty alike, let Bellingham know thatthey have a col lege up here on the hill—they won't forget us when we .have those bleacher seats to fill.

With the able help of Dr. D'Andrea and the Board of Control ;£$ *; boys jnade'; a solid twelve piece band using arrangements purchased by the xollege and wearing their familiar blue sweaters with the Pep band emblem on the front. The main idea of the band was to further coUege spirit and to play for v any dances that might be promoted. Now once again this able aggregation .is: rjpli|^^to gloiy on thie wings of good danceable music. New faces have been added including Earl Enters, Lynn Beiler, Dick Sanders and Lyle Buss to round out a «ix man sax section. Bud Orenell and Dale Ehuler are filling the vacant trumpet chairs. The music promises to be better than ever before. The coeds might be interested to learn that Fred DeBruler is back against to help the trombone section and to make with those fine vocals. A Jazz Filled Year The only problem to date is the fact that there were so many musicians to choose, from that many fine players were turned away with the hope that they will have the opportunity to learn the repertoire and are willing to fill in spots as they may be opened. The new program for the Pep band will possibly include one hour shows, noon time jam sessions, and if they are revived, Friday night rec hours. All in all it looks like a jazz filled year for these musicians and for the WWC student body as a whole.

As the chairman of the cruise, Phyllis Armstrong, stated, "when the rest of the community are peacefully nestled in their beds, we will be trooping, sack lunch in hand, down to catch the mail boat, Osage, at 7:00 a. m. at the Citizens' Dock." Sixty girls can be accommodated on the Osage and any new girls who want to get acquainted with the old WRA members are cordially invited to attend. The day will be spent at WRA's lodge, the Viqueen, which is about a half mile hike from the boat dock on Sinclair. There will be games and hiking or just relaxation as you wish. Berdell Smith, refreshment chairman, plans to have a snack for the girls in the afternoon before the trek home at 3:00. Tickets will be at most a dollar but a lower rate, may be, obtained if over twenty girls participate in the cruise?- Mess Schedule Mrs. Dennis Tobiason, dietitian, has expressed : the belief that the cafeteria in the new residence hall will be ready for operation by October 20.

Bellingham Herald Camera Club Holds First Meeting Soon ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 October 10 - Page 4 ---------- is not going to write this year, because of a lack of time and cohfflctang schedule. D ^ troctedreade^ the past year On Friday afternoonof every week, almost the entire male population of the school turned i ^ spirts page arid to Dick's column to see what he thought and said about the sports world and news. By playing third base with Lappy's nine, Dick earned his letter las^year in baseball. Now it seems as if the sports fever has got him for he has changed his major to teaching^and coaching. His time that is not spent in trying to soak up some knowledge from books is spent in teaching the sixth grade physical education classes at the Birchwood school. 4-0! Sounds more like a baseball score than that of a football game, but four points was all that the victorious Viks could elbow out of Central's Wildcats, Tne reason for the odd and unusual tally is that the EUensburg squad made a pair of safeties—one in the third period and one. in the final period. Both of them were faulty plays. The first of the two markers was a bad pass from center when the Wildcats were on their own 15 yard line. The pigskin sailed completely out of the end zone for an automatic safety. The next two pointer was made by the Viking line, which broke through to block a Central kick. Again the ball went clear off the playing field. • • Even though Western failed to score a touchdown in the CWCE game they displayed the same flashes of power that the spectators of the St. Martins.game saw. Only this time they Were able to use it more, benefited by experience. The line play of the Blue and White squad was especially strong. Breivik did more than his share to forward the progress of jhe hilltop boys. However, the backfield Was right behind them with plenty of power, too. Lindbloom and Zurline, quarterback and center, respectively, seemed to shine the brightest. * It is too bad that the game couldn't have lasted another five or ten minutes—maybe the score would have been 11-0. As it was, Lappy's ball club had the ball down on the Wildcat 1-foot line. That's getting pretty close to home—down there in the scoring territory. Both Tom Poe and Art Svidran had been making hard drives through the line time and again and picked up steady gains all the time. Maybe if one of these boys had had the chance, and the time, that score might have been upped. According to Dr. Lapp it was a good game all the way. It was hard fought and well won victory. The Blue and White squad "was very aggressive on both offense and defense. They came within 6 inches of scoring-." During the second half the Viking squad seemed to gain new power and they put up a terrific struggle for that ungained touchdown. Coach Lappenbusch believes that if the tall club keeps improving as it has been that they will have more than a good chance for the number one team honors in the league. * HEBE AND THERE . . . Our contestants of tomorrow night at Battersby field suffered a 14-0 defeat at the hands of the College of Puget Sound ball club last Saturday. The University of British Columbia Thunderbirds will be down here for a non-conference tilt. But regardless of what kind of a game it is let's see everybody out taiere and over in our own bleachers a cheerin' for old Sehome. Across the mountains, over in Cheney, the SSvages eked out a narrow 6-0 victory over Wbitworth in a conference game last ^Saturday. The Savages made their lone touchdown in the final I p w r t e r when they recovered a Whitworth fumble on the 10 yard ^^^BiHalfback Don Cobb threw a pass to Adrian Beamer for the score. . • Pacific Lutheran College, conquerers of fit. Olaf and CPS, added to their list of vanquished last Saturday, by eyelashing the Rangers to a 35-0 score. It was the first conference tilt for the Gladiators and stamped them as one of the favorites for the Winko title. It was a bad day in Flatbush as the Bums wound up the last game of the series with the Yankees with a devastating score of 5-2 . . . it was a bad day. But the Dodgers were not the only ones who had lost, the Yanks were telling their woes also. Even though they had won 11 series with 15 starts and had just finished the richest game of all the 44 classics—they were a sad and broken-hearted ball club. Larry McPhail, president of the New York Yankees, announced his retirement as soon as he heard the results Of the game. With tears running down his cheeks he said, "That's it boys. It's my retirement." Well, next year is another season. As some of you might have noticed, 75 per cent of our football game predictions for last week came out correctly-so we will try it again this week. Let's see how they compare with yours: Vikia^i Defeat Winko i$^6| r Western's powerhouse eleven made the Central Wildcats its second victim of the current season last Friday night before a good crowd at EUensburg. . It was that big charging line which paved the way /Jdr^.tt^'^' score. The first quarter saw the^ Wildcats gain a slight advantage when they advanced to the Vik 30 but the Viks soon took over wlien, the Wildcats missed an attempted;" field goal. .From this point on it-; was pretty much a Western affair, v The Viks hard hittingfuUbacks; Than Byrant, Art Svidran, and big Tom Poe, made it look like a very one-sided game. The Blue and White's terrific blocking kept- the EUensburg eleven back on its heels the whole second half: The first - score was registered on a bad pass from center on the Wildcats 15 yard stripe that went over the goal line with an EUensburg back faUing on it for the Viks first two points. Passes Click Lee Stout's passing kept the Wildcats defense spread while the rest of the backs were able to get into the secondary. Again it was the Stout to Fones passes that clicked off good yardage. Another passing combination was discovered in left handed Norm Sansregret to Bill Dobbins, Viking halfback. In the last few minutes the Viking line, headed by center Jack Frazier, blocked a Wildcat punt for the other two points. As the game ended the Viks had the ball oii the one foot line but couldn't quite push it over against a suddenly stubborn Wildcat line. The Hilltoppers had recovered a fumble on the one foot line as timer Sam Carver sounded the gun ending the game. Nine Backfield Men in Action1 The Blue and Whites' line was very ably backed up by center "Moose" Zurline and Mel Lindbloom. Coach Lappy gave nine backfield men a chance to see action. The EUensburg backfield kept the Viking safetymen hustling as the fullback began every play in kick, formation from the T offense. This win put the Vikings very much in the running for the Winko crown. Pittsburgh Pirates Lose Soriano The Pittsburgh Pirates released, yesterday, Dewey Soriano, 27-year-old righthanded flinger, to the Sacramento Solons of the Pacific Coast league as part payment for the Solon's star catcher, Eddie Fitzgerald. Fitgerald, second leading Coast league hitter with a .358 average, and third in stolen bases—unusual for a catcher—with 25 thefts, was purchased several weeks ago for spring delivery. The price included four players. Soriano was bought from Seattle, of the Coast loop last fall, and was optioned this season to Oakland in the same league, where he won seven and lost seven. :::;;Ti^-:b;oy-'th»t : will' attract your , attention, in more W;»jrf -ifcaa^one,/; during the game tomorrow night is ; none other than Thornton, a 87- . year - old Blanch-ard man, A small boy of 5 feet, 11 inches and weighing "around J50" makes an i d e al center for the Vik line and as it has b e e n said he is the bulwark of the forward wall. From all expectations he will play p l e n t y of good b a l l against the U n i v e r s i t y of British Columbia under the" floodlights of Battersby field. Freshman Sridder _ Gets Up Again Proving the old adage that "You can't keep a good man down," Don Sayan, the freshman from Seattle who received a fractured leg in football scrimmage last week, is up and around again after spending only a few days in the St. Luke's hospital. Possibly the only noticeable element about Don since he came back from the hospital after his short visit there is a pair of sturdily built crutches on which he depends to g a i n momentum whUe coasting around the campus, and a cumbersome cast in which he rests his weary leg after his hectic ordeal. Let's hope that this will be the last accident of its kind to happen to any of our Viking gridders.

The seven teams, of five men each, will do their bowling in the 20th Century, announced Wade Haggard, secretary of the intramural league. There is still time to sign a team up if you wish to do so, but this should be done before next Tuesday. The teams for intra-mural basketball are also being drawn up. A complete list of the teams already signed up is not yet available, but plans for a big season are getting under way.

This has no, doubt been greatly -enhanced by the valuable^ experience 'received by participating in their fbrmer English ganie of rugby, which is one of the most outstanding forms of recreation ih: Canada. m last week's tilt with the College of Puget Sound, the Thunder-birds were thrown back.with a 14-0 loss when they were unable to penetrate a stonerwall defense set up by . the defending Puget Sound squad on the Vancouver gridiron. Coach Lappenbusch states that this is the associated students first reaL chance of the season to show '"they are backing the team aU the; way and this can only be accomplished by everyone tuniing out for the game ^ S a t u r d a y night, October 11, at 8 p. m. The players know they've really accomplished something for every yard made when they have a large cheering- section backing them to the full. Basketball Pr^ew A decided turn from the mucky gridiron is the sport played on the maple courts, but let's make a quick preview of this year's basketball possibilities. , - ; Last year's foUowers Of the ca-saba sport wiU find it father hard to regain interest, as - Western Washington placed low in the second division. Coach Bill McDonald says, "The teams greatest fault Was lack of height." One! of the main factors of any college ball club is how many let-termen are returning. Western Washington has all of their letter-men back from- last year. Also in a freshman class, practically making up two-thirds of the student body, there is a host of fine athletes from high school and service teams. McDonald may not have much trouble finding some big boys after all. The varsity will go into action for the first time when they meet the University of Washington at the U. of W. pavilion November 21. The first conference ganie, which will probably mean a lot to the outcome of the season, will take place at WWC, Saturday, February 7, with the Vikings battling Central Washington, last year's champs in the Winco league.

Music Department Foresees Increased Participation "Freshman talent is needed in the music department of WWC," Dr. Frank D'Andrea, head of the music department, announced in assembly Monday. Freshmen can help make the year a big one by turning out for band, orchestra, vocal ensembles and musical pr ograms during the course of the year. A little later he .remarked "I anticipate a colossal year." During the past quarters, WWC presented concerts, assemblies, requested appearances, made tours, gave Christmas programs and every variety of music for every kind of holiday and occasion. Outstanding in quality and performance were the male quartet and the girl's Nonette. If interest is sufficient, more small ensembles will be organized. Rehearsal hours for the band are Tuesday and Thursday at 4 p. m., in room 239. For the choir, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 10 a. m., in room 239. ^ For the orchestra, Monday at 4 p. m. in room 239. Leading the band for this coming year is Mr. Don Walter. In reference to his superior ability, Dr. D'Andrea has said, "Mr. Walter is an outstanding band director, having produced three national band winners in Iowa. I am sure all old and new band members* will enjoy working with him." Mr. Walter added. "I understand that WWC had a very creditable band last year but due to the increased enrollment, the gnerous amount of new equipment received and the splendid show of school spirit and cooperation we are anticipating a bigger and better band organization to be ready for the next home game." As the director of the A Cappella choir, Mr. Bernard Regier says, "The A Cappella choir has established an enviable reputation during the past two years. Prospects are for a choir of even better calibre for the coming year with a larger student body from which to select. Those that cannot be accommodated in the 60 voice choir will be given the opportunity to sing in a large general chorus." The choir has proved to be one of the school's most useful features. It has been present on all big occasions and added the last touch in" musical programs to many assemblies. Robed in the traditional blue and white gowns the A Cappella choir will entertain the college again this year with its repetoire of songs.

Members are encouraged to analyze problems of an international aspect and to participate in group discussions at the club meetings. Under the direction of Miss Nora B. Cummins, college adviser to.the club, the club constitution was recently subjected to a complete revision both in body and by-laws, in order to give the organization an instrument of government conversant with modern day methods of' parlimentary procedure. All personnel obtained a valuable insight of the structure and form of this important governing tool. Internationally - minded students are invited to attend the next regular meeting of the IRC in the Social Science room at 7:30 p. m. on October 15. Staff Personnel Named Soon All applicants for positions-on the 1948 Klipsun (annual) will meet at 4 p. m. Monday in Room 208, according to Betty McLeod, editor of the yearbook. "Work has progressed throughout the summer quarter and all major contracts have been let," said McLeod. Bruno's Studio, of Seattle, will handle photography with Art Craft Engraving Co. doing all engraving. Printing will be handled by Cox Brothers, Printers, of Bell-ingham. Wayne Craig, veteran student photographer has accepted the photography editorship while other staff members will be announced later. The Klipsun will be presented to' students the latter part of May following the annual Publications banquet. Cruise Scheduled Warm clothes, a cruise ticket, (sea sick pills options to sea going novices) are the orders of the day when the Acthjian and the Flying Clipper II cast off mooring lines from Citizen's dock Saturday at 1:00 p. m. sharp for a four hour cruise around Bellingham Bay. The cruise- is open to all enrolled students at WWC and'is included in opening week schedule. LOOKING THINGS OVER T)o you have nice legs? Can you strut with them?

The recently broadened program and the capital improvements help make it so. I extend cordial greetings to both-new-and returning students, and wish for each student a partial or complete realization of his college goal in 1947-1948.

Mathes House Our house, formerly Bushnell's Bungalow, will henceforth be known as Mathes House. We have chosen this name as a tribute to Dr. E. T. Mathes who resided here during his term as one of the early presidents of bur college. We men of Mathes House are pround to have such a distinguished name representative of our college home. . Mrs. Schultz, our congenial and much respected house mother, who attended college during Dr. Matties administration, issues the following statement concerning the adoption -of his name.: "To me the house at 529 High street is 'Mathes House'. As the home of Dr. E. T. Mathes during the time of his presidency of the school, it was always called that. Today my friends say, *I hear you are living in the Mathes house.' It is with a feeling of real tenderness and affection that I recall the man, who during the era of progress for which he was responsible, so understood each one of us, and called us by our first names."

After their decisive 35-6 victory over the Ranger from St. Martin's, in which the Viks showed strength in both the backfield and line, the Blue and Whites are heralded as a team to beat. The season is still young though, and the real tests are yet to come. This week the local eleven travels to Ellensburg to meet ah always potent Central team and later in the season the Vikings run into the hot Pacific Lutheran squad and their tough rivals from Cheney, the Eastern Savages. The St. Martin's .team was rated strong, but "Lappy" is whipping the Western gridsters into shape for these three future decisive contests that may well decide this year's champs. One of the reasons the Central Wildcats are always strong, not only in football but also .in the other major sports, is their athdetic program includes junior varsity squads. Many of the men, who ordinarily would be cut from the squad, play with this J. V. team and not only gain much needed experience, but also aire given the chance to earn their way back up to the varsity. The winning teams turned out by Wildcat coaches year after year is proof that the plan is beneficial and should be food for thought for the other schools in the Winco conference. In last Saturday night's game the Vikings showed good all around, power with several squads that appeared to be on equal footing in both defensive and offensive plays. Praise was passed out for the work around the ends, the charging of the Vik line, and the offense of the backfield as well as their job of backing up the line. Walt Clayton's kicking was another topic for much comment, five for five in the try for point department and an average of 48 yards per kick on the kickbffs, which isn't too shabby, and "Big Tom Poe" was the leading ground gainer for the home backfield with a twelve yard average per try. - All in all the Sehome boys look strong and we are rating "Lappy" a pretty even chance to turn in another championship Western eleven. Basketball is also one of the topics of much conversation around school. It's still a little early in the year but that hasn't stopped Coach McDonald from looking around, and he isn't too unhappy with what he's seen, with most of last year's hoopsters back and Starr from last year's strong Arlington five, Zurline with his height, and several other of last years prep basketball players around things look promising for "Big Mac". ODDS AND ENDS . . . Bay Karnofski, star halfback for the Xiongview high eleven and brother ^of Western's hard-running Jerry Karnofski, will-be in Bellingham Friday night when the Columbia river team meets the Bellingham gridders . . . S o far the V3cs have got off pretty lightly in the injuries, Lappy is hoping it will keep up . . . Coach Lappenbusch's new assistant, Chorveth, was quarterback with his championship squad of '38 . . . Our early season predictions on the coast are for both Washington and Western to finish this season at least second in their respective leagues, but them we are partial. • • Six umpires in a baseball game! Only three more to go and there'll be one for each player. Yet that is what is happening in the World Series. For the first time in baseball history, a half dozen blue-coated arbiters are running the show. As in former series, there is an umpire at the plate and at each of the three bases. The two additional umpires added for this series are placed far out on the left and right-field foul lines, in front of the bleachers.

Rangers Score First ; ^ The Vikings poned up with splashcfs of power that was to come in the second and third quarters, but after penetrating to .St. Martin's 25 when Chuck Keown recovered a fumble, they lost the ball on downs when three passes were grounded. The Rangers, striking quickly with their light speedy backs, racked up two quick first downs and found themselves on the Western 45. Johnny Mills followed through with a pass which made it a first and ten on the Western 18. The Viks held off for two plays, but Little Dan Crowley slipped off to the left end past several tacklers and made the game's first touchdown. The kick was wide. Lappy Changes Ball Club A new lineup for the Blue and White and plenty of power right, from- the kickoff. Working the statute of liberty, Bill Dobbins circled left "end for the tying touchdown. Walt Clayton booted the try-for- point. The next score followed closely. Art Svidrum brought the ball to the two and Norm Sansregret took it across the line from there. Viks Still Hot In" the third quarter Lappy's magic continued to baffle the Rangers. Spinners and reverses were going for good and solid gains were made time and time again. A new passing combination was discovered —Lee Stout, pitching, and Truman Fones, catching. Together these two did a lot to help the Viks on to victory. Tom Poe stood out as the ground gaining champ with 111 yards in nine trys. Ferndale's "Jumping" Jake Creasey picked up 47 in six attempts, and Svidran 46 in five. W towft^ i»ics Stars —Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald Thirteen may'-, be. considered elsewhere as a bad omen, but not when-it comes to Coach Charles F. Lappenbusch, director of athletics at Western, who begins his 13th year as Viking football mentor. .A solid six feet, two inches, Lappy matches his. physique with his great personality. In college, Lappy played guard and was chosen a member of the All-Coast football plus being All-American choice several times while at the University of Washington Rangers Gladiators A serious lack of replacements is the chief worry of the Rangers of St. Martin's College who go against their second Winco foe when they meet the twice-victorious. Gladiators of Pacific Lutheran College in Ta-~ coma this Saturday night. Decidedly the underdogs after their 35-6 drubbing Saturday at' the hands of the Western Washington College Vikings, the Saints will be drilling this week to work out an offensive that can avoid colliding too often w i t h .the strong, hard-charging Lute line. Mr. 2£. Nardy has not revealed his opening line-up for the Gladiator tilt, but he is sure to start about the same team that opened against the Vikings in Bellingham. ' Thunderbirds Will Tangle With Viks From across the border, Saturday, October 11, comes the University of British Columbia to tangle with the Blue and White squads in a friendly non-conference game. , The. Thunderbirds, representing a college of approximately 10,000 students, come down to play with the hilltop boys about twice a year—on the gridiron and on the maple courts.

WM'- . * - * Dembcratie Tradition Hailed Democracy has always been the password at. WWC. Now, to the new class of students, to the entering freshmen, we pass on that word, for democracy in this school depends to a large extent on them. Let us try and keep our school a "warm hearted and generous institution" as Dr. Merle Kuder mentioned, rather than a school for cliques and "sets". To you, freshmen, the flag of democratic tradition is handed _with the knowledge that you will not let it fall. * * Thanks To Bellingham J. C. Approximately 200 freshmen would like to convey their thanks to the Bellingham Junior Chamber of Commerce for the tour of the city of Bellingham scheduled during opening week, uhder J. C. auspices.

Psych Examinations Confuse Freshmen Freshmen, pouring over weighty works called psychology tests, climaxed the registration period on Wednesday morning in the auditorium. We could well imagine the conjectures as to the character of the two persons .who -prepared these tests. We bet they were unkind to their pets. Anyhow, the school may now peer into the dark recesses of the minds of the freshman class. They may deduce, from these observations, certain information pertaining, as we understand, to the manner in which we are to be graded. The two-and-one-half-hour session, lasting from 9 a. m. till 11:30, left us with an appetite for a smoke and a hamburger. Let older and wiser minds analyze our answers while we drown our memories with a large coke. LINES AGAINST A MASTER'S DEGREE' By HOWARD HARDY To'dine on chicken or rare prime rib With no sauterne to muss your bib, Search your jeans for dough, and geeze! Still have to pay these awful fees. Gripe in June about the ram, Curse in class about "that brain"; Sit in the bleachers with some.stray Joker's knees in your neck to watch a play. To climb Mt. Baker with a rock In your shoe, and getting off a- sock That's snow-dampened; and you're. limp Prom ski wounds because some simp Ran you down from near the ridge. And while you sit a t outdoor bridge You never catch that sprightly sfceeter Who saps your blood. A repeater Whines a warning' past your ear That a novice hunts the deer. To be frazzled all the time Yet never have a dime With'which to buy a bed. Some say it's worse to be wed Than to know of all these ills; But those who swallow bitter pills Are silent on marriage (which is prudent) Friends! It's worse to.be a graduate student. After the first few days of rough treatment from registration, those bewildered-looking i h d i v i d u a 1 s • known as frosh were corraled and Subjected to., what is" coinmonly known as a n , interview regarding their lt; impressions-ofcampus life. Betty Felton, who was president of the Girls' club a t Friday Harbor high and is majorinr in Home Economics, commented, "It's wooderful and Tm really having loads of fun here; especially at t h e mixers." Entering from King Edward high school In Vancouver, British Columbia, where he was vice-president of his senior class, Bill Baron declared; "I like it—even if the girls aren't as good as those back home. The boys are certainly more friendly! I .' s u r e l i k # t h e :ihfbrinal^6^es^"ai gt; ^ ! ^^ erican colleges .though—it's swell!" "So far I've had a wonderful time —I'm making loads of friends and .sure like the mixers, but gee, I wish Lakewood Trip Due Saturday WWC students are taking a trip to Lakewood, the school picnic grounds, on Lake Whatcom, Saturday afternoon at 1:15 p. m. Free transportation, refreshments, and recreation will be provided. Bring your swim suits if you wish to take a dip. A life guard will be on duty. Lakewood is college-owned property on Lake Whatcom, complete with a cabin, boathouse, and three boats. Some refreshments will be served, but since the trip does not interrupt a dinner hour you should bring your own lunch if you want to eat.

Forty-eight p e o p l e , including guests, faculty members and students were present. Although the day was fine, it was too cold for much swimming, and Miss Anna Ulhn was the only person enjoying the recreation. Boating was the main pastime for the remainder of the group. Mr. Bill McDonald summed up the picnic in the words, "Everyone had a chawming time." Married Vets Have High Grade Point If you are a married veteran attending WWC the chances are that your grade point average is higher than either the single veterans or the non-veterans, according to statistics released by Dr. Morton J. Renshaw, Director of Research. The figures, compiled from grades earned for the spring quarter, show a grade point average of 2.49 for the entire student body, while the average for married veterans is 2.60 as compared with 2.484 for non-veterans and 2.44 for single veterans. Veterans compose 50 per cent of the student body, and '35 per cent of these are married. Women Lead Men The WWC women have a slight edge over the men with a 2.51 average as compared with the men's 2.48. By classes, the seniors top the list with a high 3.10. The sophomores rank next with 2.63, followed by the juniors with 2.61, and the freshmen with 2.36. Students majoring in education have a higher grade point average than those not majoring in that field with 2.50 and 2.42, respectively. Campcraft Group Journeys To Woods To Practice Skills By ALICE FJELLMAN Have you ever heard of P. E. 104? Well, about ten students from WWC have heard of it and have been really learning how to picnic. To climax the quarter, a trip was scheduled for Lakewood last weekend. Well, with various -and sundry things such as sleeping bags, toothbrushes, and night shirts these fair lads ana lassies took off for the Lake-wood wilderness with Miss Marjorie Muffly as chaperone. After heaping the cars with enough food to last almost a week, they arrived at 5:00 Friday night. The first thing that was done was to build a fire. Now these students weren't complaining, but they had been doing their cooking at Goose- Many College Graduates Are A Social Menace, Declares Dr. G. G. Sedgewick, of UBC berry Point and The Rocks and just hadn't got used to the idea of having to.actually look for wood. After plenty of tmaer was gathered by the male sex, Alice Trombly and Alice Fjellman tried to make a cross-log fire. Guess what? It didn't work! Bob Frasier and his cronies came to" the rescue and made a plan common fire with no paper which Winton always enjoys, using.

G. Sedgewick in an address given in the auditorium Tuesday morning. "It is ironic to speak of one world," he continued, "when it is divided up as never before. Unfortunately, it is one world." The slight, soft-spoken professor of English from the University of British Columbia not only delighted his audience with a sharp wit and amusing gestures, but he delivered one of the most meaningful and important addresses heard here in the past year. "Whatsoever things are practical" was the topic of Dr. Sedgewick's address, and he developed it fully. "Practical," he said, "doesn't mean only that it can be done and is possible, but also something that should be done. "If we can't get all the good done now, then get what we can done now and keep the rest in sight. "There is nothing more terrible in its failure than a good thing that fails." Peering over his glasses in a manner not unlike the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and occasionally rubbing his forefinger along the side of his nose, the Professor kept his audience at ease with his humorous remarks and infectious smile. Dr. Sedgewick pointed out the dangers from the deluge of poison propaganda which is flooding the worlds today, and he urged the colleges and universities to equip their students so that they may "sense what is sound and what is unsound." , "Many engineers, doctors and others," Dr. Sedgewick went on to explain, "have the same prejudices when they leave college as they had when they entered. They have no sense of place in the community, and (thus) they are a social menace." The scholarly professor concluded by saying, "We have to be citizens of the world whether we want to be or not. The question is are we equipped to be?

The last day of school; the last issue of the WWCol- -legian; the end of the summer quarter. For the past nine weeks we have endeavored to publish a paper which would keep you posted on current school affairs and, to a degree, act as a sounding board of student opinion. The first objective we have met satisfactorily; the second only to a lesser degree. We offer no excuses, no apologies and no alibis. No paper can please all the people, and it is foolhardy for any editor to attempt to do so. To those unselfish people who.gave of their time and their services to help put out the paper, we extend bur humble thanks. To those few who can find nothing but fault with the paper, the school, the faculty and the student body, we offer our sympathies. We have had a few verbal criticisms concerning the policies of the paper, and we wish to remind our readers that the WWCollegian, like any newspaper, has certain responsibilities and censorships. Perhaps this- is best expressed in the following statement by the publication ..adviser, "Publishing a weekly newspaper is a business. In such a business, no editor is free to follow his own fancy. If he owns the paper himself, his choice of news is often dictated by the interests of his advertisers and subscribers, whose patronage makes publication possible. If he is hired by the owner to edit, he holds his job only so long as he recognizes and furthers his employer's interests by the same methods that he would use of himself. To this end he suppresses or gives little prominence to certain items and develops fully other items. These compromises with absolute freedom of expression are uhderstood and accepted as necessities by everyone in the newspaper business." All in all we have enjoyed our turn behind the editor's desk, and we take this opportunity to wish all of you a pleasant vacation. CAMPUS SCHOOL PLAYGROUND It goes without saying that WWC's Campus school is one of the finest of its kind in the-state. However, it does lack one very important and badly needed addition—an asphalt covered playground. ' It is only during the last few weeks of spring quarter that the campus school children can play out-of-doors, and then, more often than not, the ground is wet and muddy. Many of the public schools throughout the state have had hard-surfaced playgrounds for sometime, and it hardly seems fitting that as fine a training school as our should be required to get along with- The space is available, the expense would be small, and the need is great.

MOBLO Capital Record Reviewer reports that Stan Kenton, top notch band leader-pianist, is swiftly recovering from an unfortunate illness incurred late last spring. Stan, who is well known for his Artistry in Rhythm series, collapsed while playing a one nighter in Alabama and was forced to disband his able aggregation and retire to the hills of Southern Cal. for a complete rest cure. All of Kenton stars, including sultry singer June Christy and fine saxist Vido Musso, will be back with the band when it is reorganized late this month or in early September. It seems that in his strenuous routine of rehearsals, waxing dates, and one nighters Stan forgot to eat and sleep . . - result: one sick boy with severe nervous disorders. Besides the forementioned duties Stan does good deal of his own arranging and composing in the style that has put his band in the spotlight all over the country. It's great to know that we will again be enjoying the music of Stan Kenton, a fine pianist, a true artist and a swell guy. MOO-D MUSIC . . A news agency in New Zealand reports conclusive proof that cows produce the most milk when listening to recordings of the Andrews Sisters. Classical music makes them fidget in their stalls and cut milk production. Who says cows are square? POLYTONES . . . Lombardo reports that his band is NOT CORNY. The type of music he plays (says the maestro) is not intended to be spectacular but is to appeal to the common people. "A Lombardo, by any other name, smells—" . . . T.

Visions of fishing tackle floated before their lacklustre orbs, and thoughts of vaca tion swelled in their overworked brains. The editor of the Collegian laid down the' latest copy of "Batman Comics" and sighed deeply. It had been a busy summer and a wearing one, but now he could rest. Nothing to do for five weeks but read the future copies of "Superman" and the comic strips. The reporters, feet dragging, from the hectic summer, turned in their stories and plodded out again. Exams were still hanging heavily over every one's head and more than one reporter had felt, or was to feel the disheartening jolt that came with an F or D grade. There just wasn't any joy left in living. Over in the library, the reading room was full with students studying with such haste as to render their minds nicely blank when they entered class for the last bout with a hateful exam. Hearts thumped violently as the quaking pupils stole in on tiptoe, praying that they would remember enough information to fool the professor into thinking they knew it all. Dazed students emerged an hour later from the room, pale, haggard and stunned. Women fainted from shock. One man, evidently one who true N'Orleans style of dark jazz. BOWL CONCERTS . . . Helen Traubel, leading Wagnerian opera star, and Bruno Walter, conductor, opened the Symphony Under the Stars programs in the Hollywood Bowl early in July. Every year H'wood presents a program of the best in classics and intimidates the finest performers into appearing at their cactus studded bowl. Aside from the bowl concerts, billions of bars, and a few well turned ankles, what has Hollywood got that Seattle hasn't?

Tests were reputed to be "pages long and questions of horrible complexity and obscurity." Abstract principles, ideas and figures added to the students' bewilderment and confused state of mind. The awful thought of failure chilled their fingers, froze their mental capacities, paralysed their muscles and scared all their little red cor-pusles into hiding. "Two times two is four" muttered a math pupil. "Four times four is—is—is—." "Who wrote Beethoven's Fifth Symphony?" asked one not-too-bright music student of a companion. . , ,. . "How do you write "cat" in the phonetic alphabet?" hissed a speech student to his next door neighbor. And so on and so on. Still they come back to suffer. Every quarter students subject their brains to a week of horror such as the world has never known. Some people have thought that such sadistic instructors should be done away with, but the only hitch in the program would probably be that the instructor would do away with the doersr-away by talking tod much, so that would do away instead, with the ones who had intended to do away with the one who had done them away.

The loser will be dropped from the tournament. The Bells won their first game from the Pikeville, Ky.f team by a score of 3-2. Thursday night, however, they lost a :7-3 decision to a classy Port Wayne, Indiana, nine. . The Fort Wayne team had Ed Brandt, former Pittsburgh Pirate pitcher, on the mound. Wearing the proud insignia of Washington state champions, the Beliingham Bells arrived safe and sound at Wichita, Kansas, at 9:15 a. m., Monday, ready to make, their debut in the national semi-pro tournament of 1947. Members of the squad which in-clude/ Sa host of former WWC students "were: Manager Joe Martin, Cliff 'Gaffney, Walt Richardson, Dick Zender, Sid Van Sinderen, Jack Hjelmaa, Bob Nunamaker, Clayton Carr, Cleary Cone, Hal Arnason, Al Ivanich, Pete Zender, Nick Zender, Dick Plank, and Coach Gabby Postlewait. Three additional men signed up for the trip were outfielders C h u c k Brayton and Larry Orteig, of Northern State, and Dick Conover, ace hurler of the Everett Bluejays, Northwest league champions. Second Visit to Wichita Twice state champions, the Bells are no strangers to the semi-pro tournament. Their initial try last year saw them put up a valiant fight before going down before the heat and two of the best teams in the tournament. This time with a stronger, at least more experienced team the Washington state banner bearing boys could well be the surprise of the events The break of the draw favored the'Whatcom lads when they drew a night game on Tuesday for their first assignment. This should give the Bells sufficient time to become acquainted with the sultry Kansas weather. The field at Wichita will see the Bells in their first action against Pikesville, Kentucky, Cumberland hill town. Cleary Cone, southpaw, was tentatively scheduled to start the tussle for Beliingham.

Eichelberger. director of the American Association for the United Nations, recently pointed out that "bypassing of the United Nations" in the matter, of economic reconstruction of Europe "has had tragic consequences but there is still time to retrieve the situation through the .United Nations if the statesmen will use it." -f: In a brief statement, Mr. Eichelberger said inat the Three Power conference in Paris on the Marshall "proposal "was a grave mistake in procedure" and that the matter should Students Enjoy Vocal Program be presented to the Economic Commission for Europe, UN body which "' met in Geneva July 5. His statement read: "It now appears that the holding of the Three Power conference in Paris to consider the Marshall proposal was a grave mistake in procedure. Had these proposals T)een presented to the Economic Commission for Europe which met July 5. Mr. Molotov would not have had a veto as at the Three Power conference in Paris. Furthermore, the ^ Split between East and West would iH-not have appeared so serious.

It has already started work gathering the very data which must be the basis of the response to Secretary Marshall's suggestion. "Had the Marshall proposal been considered by this commission, a plan of action could have been adopted by a majority without emphasizing the split between East and West that grew out of the failure of the Three Power conference in Paris.

His program included such numbers as a Canadian logging song by Brown, "In Questa Tomba" by Beethoven, an aria from II Lacerato Spirito by Verdi, and several songs from Mr. Ivarson's native Norway, among these "Den Foreste Kyssen" (The First Kiss) by Sibelius, and "To Brune Oine" (Two Brown Eyes) by Grieg. Mr. I v a r son, accompanied by Chauncey Griffith at the piano, sang his numbers in his well-trained bass-baritone voice which carried to the farthermost corner of the auditorium. Since there was time for only one encore, Mr. Ivarson "could not have made a better choice than the one he did," according to some satisfied students leaving the assembly. Golden Anniversary Celebration Being Planned For WWC Western Washington College of Education will celebrate the golden anniversary of its founding during the academic year 1948-49, President W. W. Haggard announced today. A planning committee consisting of faculty members, students, alumni, and civic leaders will be appointed by Dr. Haggard in the near future to make preliminary arrangements for the anniversary. activities. / Known originally as the State Normal School at New Whatcom, the College opened its doors for the first time on September 6, 1899, to six faculty and 88 students. A single brick structure, which is now the central unit of the Main Building, housed the institution; and there was an appropriation from the legislature of $33,500.00 to run it for two years. Landmark Goes Dance Tonight All students are invited to attend the college dance tonight from 8 to 12 in the Student Lounge. The admission charge is a quarter, with music by your favorite orchestra from the juke box. Refreshments will be served. A/ewy Modern County School Nears Completion Dr. G .Sedgewick, U BC Faculty Head, Speaks Here Next Tuesday Climaxing the summer quarter assembly programs, Dr. G. G. Sedgewick professor and head of the department of English at the University of British Columbia, will speak here next Tuesday morning at 10 a. m. Dr. Sedgewick is not only an outstanding figure in his field but he is also an accomplished speaker, with a brilliant wit and personality, a manner of ease on the platform, and a pleasant voice. Dr. Lucy Kangley, who has heard Dr. Sedgewick speak on several occasions, describes him as, "a very delightful speaker. One who centers his speech around a topic and draws in all the loose ends.- A very witty, forceful, and entertaining speaker." Dr. Sedgewick received his doctorate from Harvard University. Heating Plant, Now Under Construction, Will Be Completed In Late Fall The opening of fall quarter will see facilities vastly expanded to handle the expected jump in enrollment. Top on the list of building activity is the new men's dorm, which will be ready for occupancy by the opening of fall quarter, according to Dr. W. W. Haggard, president. The second large building is the new power house. This utility building will be in operation this fall also although not until after the quarter has started. The old power plant will supply the school's needs adequately :.:-i.'r-7:crf^M^' until that time, even with the increased demand of the new men's dorm. The old plant will also be retained as a distributing center although the stack will be torn down. Requirements of utility direct the construction of the new plant to a greater extent than in the other' buildings on the campus. However, the exterior brick facing will" be in harmony with the campus school, gym, and men's dorm. As presently planned, the new plant will house, two boilers, each capable of an output of 15,000 pounds of steam per hour. Normal operating demands should not exceed the output of one boiler, thus guaranteeing • adequate heat at all times. Storage Tanks Have Large Capacity The boilers will burn oil from two 20,000 gallon storage tanks, which are already in place. The tanks are of the same approximate capacity as five standard railway tank (Continued on Page Four) President Haggard Travels East To Attend Conference President W. W.

On this the second anniversary of V-J Day, when many of us are beginning to turn once more to isolation, it might be well to recall the following words of Angelo Patri, "Men do not live alone. Nobody can live to himself, by himself, nor can any one man rule all other men. God took care of that. Everybody in the world is tied to everybody else. When a man suffers in Africa, men in America, Asia, Europe, and Australia suffer with him . . . There is only way to live in peace and comfort in any land and that is the way of brotherhood, of kindliness, goodwill toward all men. When one knows a man, one can only like him, feel with him, and wish him well. Let us try to know each other that way." Students Find New Positions; Now Teachers to Students "Only those graduates who were restricted by the area they wanted to teach were not placed this year," was the statement from the appointment bureau this week. "A few well qualified persons did not take jobs because of family, or other responsibilities. A large number of graduates did find jobs in the town or area they wanted, and on the whole, the teaching field appears attractive for the future."

MOBLO Radio broadcasting networks are in quandry about the subject of transcribed shows. It seems that since Crosby's great success with this type of show, many of the other top rate artists have been demanding the same privilege. The advantage in such a set up is that poor jokes and just plain "eggs" can be cut out before the actual.broadcast and that guest stars who might be unable to appear at the hour of broadcasting can still appear on the show, since transcribe dates could be arranged for the convenience of every one concerned. Also' to the advantage of the artist performing, it would give a less scheduled day, more free time, and a much greater degree of liberty. Disadvantages come mostly to those shows that depend largely upon the audience as a medium of entertainment such as Dr. I. Q., etc. It all adds up to the fact that if this trend should become popular those people who like to see the broadcast from the studio would be cheated but the radio listener would in general receive a much better show. The union is sitting back viewing the whole rumpus more or less impassionately since their prime function is to employ their members, no more. JOCKEY JOKE . . .

He yawned widely, turned and bumped into a bespectacled student with his nose in a book. "Hi, ya, worm. What'cha bonin' upon now? Or are you dipping into Plato just for the fun of it?" . "No," the other returned in precise English, "I am endeavoring to educate my intellect to the point where it can comprehend and assimilate the information conceded me by my learned professors." And with this said, he returned to Plato. Then he glanced up for one parting thrust at one, who, he thought, could stand a little awakening. "Exams next week, don't forget." The student muttered, "Oh, yea. exams, exams, so what." It hac failed to register on his drowsing brain. Halfway down the hall h€ stopped. EXAMS! He had forgotten all about such evils. What under the sun had that bookworm even mentioned them for. Now his whole day was spoiled. The thought registered* EXAMS! Ye Gods! It was getting to the end of the quarter.

On his way home, the student ran into five of his best friends. As is the case with friends, they each had some choice bits of news to would say that his vibrato was a little too wide either because of a nervous tension or perhaps because of the poor acoustics of our auditorium. Mr. Ivarson's voice, being distinctly Scandinavian in quality, was pleasingly mellow and round. His voice control was for the most part excellent, except in the rendition of Or Man River in which he hardly presented any of the informal, forlorn spirit that is characteristic of negro spirituals. It was as though he sang: from the head — not the heart. The program as a whole was pleasing to the ear and exceptionally well done. offer the student. "Hi, Bob, don't forget the physics exam Monday." "Hey, old man, bonin' up on psych? Remember the test Monday." "Hello, Bob, been to the library? Don't forget to study for the test in English Monday." "Say, Bob, which page are you going to study for the exam in math Monday?" "Oh, Bob, how many questions in the PE test Monday?" Weaker and weaker became the luckless student's knees. He barely made it to his front porch. Where had he been when those tests were being announced? Was it possible he hadn't heard the teacher? Other people day-dreamed through class, but he never did. Well, not very often, any way. Criminy! Dropping his load of books on the bed, he saw his tennis racket on the floor. As he picked' it up a ball bounced from the shelf. Temptation whispered in the student's ear. "Well, after all, I do need practice in my tennis strokes," he mused. "I can study tonight." And away he went, off to the tennis courts, whistling: "Glory, glory and salvation, Seven more days until vacation Till we leave the Bellingham station For the land of civilization."

They roamed the low hills and broad sweeping valleys of South Africa, munching grass and leisurely flicking flies from their backs with lazy movements of their long bushy tails. In the cool, quiet evenings they would lie beneath one of the many clumps of trees which dotted the landscape, contentedly chewing their cuds. Their only cause for alarm was an occasional hunting expedition by Hottentots who were the only human inhabitants of the region. Hottentot hunting raids were "never a serious problem, however, for the Hottentots, like the gnus, were an easy-going bunch. Their life was simple and harmonious. The Hottentots had two pleasures in life and sometimes it was too hot to go hunting. As a result they enjoyed the warm climate of South Africa and the friendship of one another. Their needs were few and simple and could be obtained without any great effort. Much of their time was spent in speculating on easier ways of catching gnus. A good deal of friendly arguing came about concerning various plans and as a result the Hottentots didn't get many gnus but they did have a good time. Upon this peaceful scene one day there came a caravan, a safari of educators who had already solved the problems of the known world and who were now seeking new problems to adjust to their ready made answers. Addressing aech other as "Doctor" and devoutly caressing their Phi Beta Kappa keys (hey represented the ultimate in Integrated IVholes. Their faces beamed with Readiness as their leader approached the Chief of the Hottentots and in profound and aspotical terms staled the purpose of his mission. "We have come from across the Great Blue Ocean to bring Learning to you," he said as his fellow educators beamed in unison. "We have developed for you a Progressive Curriculum, with numerous Areas of Concentration, all based on the Interrelatedness of Factors. We have taken into consideration your Retarded Readiness Level but we feel that your Maturation has developed to the point where you, as Organismic Entities, will react favorably to a Normal Probability Curve. Such being the caie we will begin classes tomorrow." Thus began the education of the Hottentots. They no longer knew the gnu as such but as Connachaetes Gnu or Gorgon Taurinus. Their children no longer played under the shades trees, but spent their days practicing the Philosophy of Learning By Doing. The friendly arguments of the Gorgon Taurinus hunters were carefully organized, committees were appointed and "Under-The-Shade-Tree Meetings" were held. Even the peaceful Connochaetes Gnus were captured and taught to identify thirteen different types of woods to eliminate Cultural Illiteracy. Map learning came into being and all members of the tribe learned to identify the spot where the fifty-second rabbit killed by Ocho-Ocho met its end. Courses were arranged to teach the Leanring of Learning of How to Teach. Recreational programs were supervised. Classes were given in Supervision of Recreational Supervisors. The bulletin board was filled with notices of coming cultural attractions and warnings to keep off the grass. Thus the life of the Gnu and the Hottentot became meaningful until there wasn't an un-integrated soul in all of South Africa. Camera Club Works With Color Film At Recent Meeting Something new has been added! Camera club members are now able to develop color film in the college darkroom. Demonstrations were held at one meeting which enabled all members to learn how to develop color negative. Seven solutions are necessary, along with several washes in water, and after approximately an hour and a half the colors appears on the film. Ken Haller showed some slides, between processes, on a screen set up in the room, and the evening was enjoyed by all present. All students planning to attend WWC this fall are invited to join, the Camera club and learn what happens to undeveloped film when it is taken behind closed doors. The "secrets" are revealed under the capable direction of Dr. Morton Renshaw, club adviser, Marion Thornton, president for the past year, and Russ Skidmore, acting president. Constitution Topped By Campus Sailors In spite of overcast skies and threatening weather, 25 students and faculty members were on board the Osage as it pulled away from the dock Saturday morning bound for Orcas Island. A few hours later as the ship warped up to the dock at Olga, the sun broke through the overcast, and sent the travellers spirits soaring. Swinging out along the forest trail, the hikers climbed on past Mountain Lake, stopped briefly at Twin Lakes for lunch, and after a mile of switch-backs arrived at the top of Mt. Constitution. Later, after having enjoyed the scenic beauty of the panoramic view from the mountain top, the party descended to Cascade Lake and made camp for the night. Sunday was spent in short hikes about camp, fishing, swimming and loafing. The party boarded the Osage in the late afternoon for the return trtp.

Gayda's knee, injured during the track season, may not bear up under the strain of the rigorous eight game WWC schedule. Among the new men turning out for the WWC pigskin parade are Jerry Karnofski, Viking baseball standby, and Lee Stout, a newcomer who is listed as a passing prospect. In announcing the first training table for September 15, Dr. Lapp states that although the present quota may be filled by that time, there will be plenty of room for all after the fall term gets under way. T h o s e candidates interested in training table plans should contact Lappy at once. Incidently Lappy is highly pleased at having all his last season's varsity grid men placed on high school coaching jobs throughout the state. Coach Lappenbusch In Spotlight As Football Time Nears This week our roving camera spotlight falls on Charles "Lappy" Lappenbusch, Viking coach with a persistent habit of turning out great teams. Lappy stands six feet two inches, and matches his physical makeup with a splendid personality. When in school he played guard, was chosen a member of the AU-coast football team, and was several times All-American choice while a student at the University of Washington. Lappy's greatest stress falls on sportsmanship, the will to win, conditioning, drive and enthusiasm, and he builds these in his teams from the very first. Since 1933, when he first began coaching, his friendly, personalized training has developed many outstanding players . Among his accomplishments Lappy has developed a new trend in the history of basketball by his action-filled straight line defense. Active in civic and college affairs, he officiates at many local high school games, as well as county tournament play.

D a y a n d night, the r e a d i n g rooms have s e e n an increasingly large number of students striving diligently to cram pages of last minute studying into a few short hours.

Installation of the boilers is expected ot start next week, with two months alloted for the job. In the meantime, workmen are busily laying the steam and water pipes that will lie between the new plant and the old. One bit of good news for Huntoon residents is the new "steam heated" sidewalk between the two plants. Hot water will be pumped to the old plant through large pipes embedded in a concrete trough, which will be capped with a sidewalk, and Huntoon-ers can look forword to walking through the winter snow on a dry walk. Still another campus improvement expected to be completed this year is a parking lot for the new men's dorm. The parking space will be in back of the dorm, and will handle thirty cars. The area around the parking lot will, of course, be landscaped as soon as possible. : New Industrial Arts Building Next Dr. Haggard indicated optimism over the prospects of further campus construction. "Next in order is an industrial arts building," said Dr. Haggard. "This building, which we hope to build next year, will stand between the campus school and the new power plant, and will conform to the pattern of construction already completed. Looking ahead," he continued, "we hope in the near future "to have a campus that will also include a fine arts building and a new infirmary. How-satisfied with the year's progress," ever, for the present, we are very Dr. Haggard concluded.

Seven Cedars extended their consecutive win steak to 26, by copping the first game, 8 to 7, but Lynden, coming back strong behind the steady hurling of Johnny Scheffers, annexed the second tilt by a 3 to 0 score. All second game runs came via the home run route, Adrian Jorrison of the All-Stars driving out two fence busters, with his brother Henry furnishing the' other one. The split necessitated a third game to decide the bi-county winner and berth in the state tournament at Spokane, August 21-24.

WHAT CAN WE AS STUDENTS AND TEACHERS DO TO PREVENT ANOTHER WAR? This was the question asked by your WWCollegian this week to several members of the faculty and student body here at WWC. Their answers to "this query follow: MISS NORA B. CUMMINS, social science instructor, states: "The world needs peace desperately, and the question arises, How can I help? "An understanding of the forces that actuate the motives and actions of the other peoples of the world is fundamental. "It is also vitally necessary that our own people understand that the United States is in a new position of leadership and that she must carry new responsibilities. Adjustments in our thinking- and practices are demanded. "Teachers and students can help in making these adjustments if they have unprejudiced minds and are well informed, so that they may correct with facts the prejudices in others and modify exaggerated statements. If facts are not readily attainable they may assist in maintaining suspended judgment." BILL WILDER, senior class president, stated his reply thus: "Logic demands a statement of basic assumptions, io-wil: That the American forces of democracy guarantees greater personal freedom than the Russian form of communism; further, that in freedom lies the key to full and..fruitful living on this earth (the only earth We happen to knou) anything about). And this is desirable. "My method is empirical. My conclusions are based on that which •I have seen of the world and. people. I deny any a priori assumption relative to the nature of man; e. g., "Man is good and if he wills it we wont have war." I do not agree with the point of view of Leibnitz and F. H. Bradley. -' "TheiW'o Contestants of the next War have been trying to agree oh superficial issues and have had no success. Obviously even superficial agreement is unlikely when the basic economic ideologies are irreconcilable (this being a materialistic world). Both seem to be intent on expansion. The problem is insoluble; consequently, the teacher and student should bring in to focus the various degrees of hatred of Russia that have already been engendered by the "free" press; logically, then, the teacher and student should advocate war at an early dale while we yet have the heaviest artillery. "Our Way is right because We know it is right. If we cant get the World with dollars, maybe We can get it with guns. Or maybe We should teach alt the children concepts. "A certain naughty penguin I know informed me of these things." DON BROWN, ASB vice-president, phrased his reply thus: "What can we as students and teachers do to prevent future wars? The answer to this question is reasonably obvious—Nothing! We can preach cooperation, good will, and brotherly love to our young charges, but the results are likely to be nil for there are economic and political forces in motion which will not be stopped by teachers in classrooms. We can show our youngsters the horrors of war by means of visual aids. They will be able to see all of this first hand in a few years. Thus the situation will then be meaningful. , Let's not throw in the towel immediately, but let's not have any illusions about ending war by education in less than a hundred years or so." LEE BOW DEN, sophomore and ex-CI, answers the question this Way, "Promoting the policies of the United Nations Security Council is perhaps the best way to obtain world peace. The success of this organization depends upon the support of the people of the world. As Americans and students we should, assure our government that we want the United Nations to be successful. We students can be leaders in a movement of this type by taking an active interest in the political affairs of our country. JIM SANFORD, senior and member of the Board of Control, says, "I wonder if there is anything the teacher or student can do to prevent war. I think perhaps not; however, we must continue to try to prevent them. Some tell us that if we understand other people the tendency towards iwar will decline. This may be so, but I doubt it. Would one have us think that the Germans and French lack understanding of each other, or that Japan does not understand China when much of her culture has been taken from China? PERHAPS HATRED AND FEAR WILL PROVIDE THE ANSWER. HATRED AND FEAR OF WAR. TAKE THE GLORY AND HERO WORSHIP AWAY, AND EMPHASIZE THE TRUE HORRORS OF WAR! HALLDOR KARASON, ASB president-elect, says, "In the light of present World conditions it.appears that the answer must be nothing—if war is as imminent as some of the press, and most of the military, urge us to believe. However, we are at present at peace insomuch that we are not engaged in actual armed conflict with any nation. The conflict today is a conflict of economic and social ideologies and it is extremely questionable if we can, as students ana teachers do anything toward ameliorating that conflict situation in the immediate future. If we accept two basic premises, however, there may be something that we can. do, in the long run. Those (Continued on Page Four) Hikers Locate Lost Lake Eighteen seasoned WWC hikers encountered little difficulty in "finding" Lost Lake last Saturday. The hikers traveled by cars from the PE building to a point on Chuckanut Drive from which place they started their search. Many of the hikers enjoyed the excellent sw i m m i n g conditions which the lake affords, while others poled their way about the lake on the rustic rafts found there. The party returned to the campus Saturday evening. Collegian Reporter Loses Appendix Your WWCollegian bemoans the" loss of one of its ace reporters this week when Mrs. Nita Clothier withdrew from college. Mrs. Clothier was strickened with an acute attack of appendicitis last Thursday, and' Friday afternoon she underwent an appendectomy at a local hospital. She returned from the hospital Tuesday, and will leave for her home in Shelton this weekend. An odd coincidence, Mrs. Clothier's sister, Lois King, a student at WWC the past year, also had her appendix removed last week. Both women will return to WWC in the fall. Week-End Outings Climax Rec. Committee's Major Activities With the Vancouver bus trip tomorrow and.the overnight trip to Mt. Constitution this week-end, the Summer Recreation Committee concludes its major activities for the quarter. Thirty-seven students will make the trip to Vancouver on a chartered bus, leaving Bellingham at 8:30 a. m. and returning at 9:30 p. m. This trip is one of the highlights of the summer, and to those students who have never visited Vancouver a real treat is in store. The international travelers will visit the exotic shops in Chinatown, the spacious, well stocked department stores, and the many other points of interest. Orcas Island Trip Betwen 30 and 40 students and faculty members are expected to board the M. V. Osage at the Quack-enbusli dock tomorrow morning for the overnight trip to Mt. Constitution on Orcas Island. Leaving the dock at 7 a. m., the ship will steam across the sound to Olga on Orcas Island. Here the party will be discharged to begin the ascent up the mountain. Rising abruptly from the blue waters of Puget Sound, Mt. Constitution stands far above the surrounding islands. From the tower on the crest of the mountain, the hikers will have a panaromic view unexcelled in the United States for its beauty. From the crest of the mountain, the climbers will descend to Cascade Lake and make camp for the night. Sunday will be spent hiking, swimming and loafing, with the party returning to Bellingham in the evening. All students planning to make the trip are advised to pack a warm jacket, sleeping bag, and swimming suit. In addition, an ample lunch should be carried to tide over until camp is made Saturday evening. Well-Known Baritone Presents Concert Here Tuesday Morning Herman Ivarson, known professionally as Ivar Ivarson, nationally known bass-baritone from New York City, will be presented in recital by the Western Washington College of Education, on Tuesday morning, August 12, at 9:45 a. m. Mr. -Ivarson is well-known in Bellingham, having appeared before at the College in concert, and has relatives and friends in the city eager to welcome him on this return visit. Since his last trip here, Mr. Ivarson has^ continued his concert tours throughout this country. During the war years he traveled fifty thousand miles by air as soloist with, and manager of, a concert company, singing for thousands of service men and women in Northern and Central Africa, and in Europe. Mr. Ivarson has also appeared in the leading theatres of New York and other eastern cities. During the last few months he has. been a featured guest soloist for numerous events, including the annual Nobel Anniversary Dinner in New York; the American-Scandinavian Foundation's reception for the samb^sar dor from Norway, Wilhelm Mprgeri-stierne; the New York Bar association convention, and others. On his way to Bellingham, Mr. Ivarson stopped in Los Angeles at the west coast office of his management, "National Concert and Artists Corporation, where his western concerts for the coming season are being arranged. . • A. li For the Tuesday recital, • Mr. Ivar 4 son will sing a varied program of-;. classics and concert numbers. ^The _ opera aria included will be "U.lAr cerato Spirito" from Simon Bocca-negra, by Verdi.

Osage last Sunday for the cruise among the beautiful San Juan Islands: ' Rough water in the forenoon took its toll among the poorer sailors, but later in the day the seas calmed and an enjoyable, scenic return trip was made. Leaving Bellingham at 9 a. m., the campus sailors cruised about Sucia, Orcas, Patos and Waldron Islands, stopping at the latter place for picnic lunch. "The weather was perfect, and the view unexcelled," summarized Coach Clyde McDonald, chairman of the summer recreation program.

Bill Hunt, Bob Moblo. ohitolial Elsewhere in this issue of the WWCbllegian several students and members of the faculty have given their answer to the question, "What can we do to prevent another war?" Many of these answers offer a positive course of action which we as students and Americans can follow if we are honestly desirous of peace. Wishful thin king, passive action and a lackadaisical interest in national and world affairs will not prevent another war! Peace like war requires hard work, and the wholehearted effort of everyone not just the few, if it is to succeed. The people of the world can have peace only if they truly want it and are willing to work for it. We, as students and teachers can work for peace by keeping ourselves clearly informed on. all matters, and by thinking with our minds not our emotions. Just as the shipyards, aircraft plants and factories were the defense plants during the war, so should the schools,, colleges and universities be the defense plants of peace. Education alone may not prevent another war, but surely it is a big step in the right direction. onye an) lt;SUt By R. B. MOBLO The dance band business is undoubtedly in one of its worst slumps since the start of the war. Unable to attract large crowds of money-laden war workers or joyful G.I.'s, most bands lack the lettuce to pay h i g h - p r i c e d help. Consequently many of the names are turning to radio, steady night spots, and to disk jockeying. A few of the old die-hards like Ellington, Lombardo, and Sammy Kaye have managed to make ends meet by dumping their special soloists and giving the band over to moderate sideman when they take to the road. Also in contrast to the war years John Public now prefers his music soft and flexible, all of which means new arrangements, new styles and new musicians for bands that must please the public in order to stay alive. Perhaps this is the reason good soloists are seeking small combo' work in the big cities. MAD GROANER —Those Crosby fans who have noticed the old boy slip in recent years will be glad to hear his platter of the Whiffenpoof Song made with the Fred Waring group. Faced with the accusation by most critics that his waadngs have been poor, Crosby worked hard to come up with his best platter in two years. How long he can keep them good is hard to say, but we do know that he has already placed himself with the other great jazz immortals. DVORAK DEMENTIA — Bobbie Sherwood has done it again. Not as yet on wax, but a good one to watch for is the New Word Jump. You guessed it—its taken from the New World Symphony complete with classic themes and oboe solo. The arrangement is terrifically done in the old Sherwood style, letting smooth trumpet and ponderous tram background dominate throughout. Those who know Sherwood will be reminded of his Elks Parade of awhile back. The New World Jump proves again that Ye Olde Masters still have a lot of appeal.

It has been almost a year since this writer tried to listen to Tschaikowski, Wagner and Beethoven against a background of jack-hammers as the first construction crews went to work on the hill where the nearly complete men's dorm now stands. Graduates of the classes of 1943 and earlier would be a bit startled to see this handsome building occupying the corner where Mrs. Squires' College Inn stood. During the fall quarter of 1946, the excavating crews stripped .the thin top soil and sliced down through solid rock, laying bare a record of deposit, upheaval a nd faulting for the edification of the geography classes of Mr. Thomas Hunt. The earth's work of a geologic age lay visible, adjacent to the campus. When viewed from High street, the new dorm marks one end of a rough semi-circle, measured along the gym, the campus school and ending at the southern end of the administration building, the whole set against the green of Sehome hill. Dorm Adds to Beauty of Campus Oddly enough, in the opinion of this writer, the new building seems to focus attention on the library with its slim poplars, giving that building an entirely new dignity and beauty. However, the dorm most resembles the campus school in its departure from the conventional rectangle, in its contour-hugging utility, in the similarity of construction materials, and the charm of its broken lines. Prior to the war, the administration of WWC had begun the essential first steps in preparing the way for the new building. Property had to be purchased, plans drawn up and funds allocated. That the dorm will be ready this fall, in time of greatest need, is indicative of the judgment of the administration. Interior Spacious and Well Planned Walking through the new dorm, one gets a sense of balance and harmony that is not apparent from viewing the exterior. True, the lines are pleasing, but to appreciate the spaciousness and good sense that is expressed in the building, one must actually go inside. Most of the lower floor is given over to utilities, the details of engineering and heating, although the front side has rooms facing the campus. These will prove to be the most convenient and accessible, although they do not have the magnificent view of the upper floor rooms facing on High street. Many students will,' no doubt, prefer to continue living in the smaller, private halls. However, the convenience of built-ins, steam heat, accessibility to classes, and the a t tractiveness of the building will attract many. —~"~ - lustier emotions of mankind.

SUBJECTIVE JIVE—The merging of swing and serious music continues despite the efforts of the hard-bitten classicists. Recently arranged and published by violinist, band leader Eddy Rogers, Star Dust, has become a nocturne; Stormy Weather, an impromptu; Dinah, a fantasy; Margie, a caprice; Solitude, an ara-basque, and Stars Fell On Alabama, a reverie.

When junk has been junk long enough it becomes antique and gets to be a*profitable business. When antique junk gets junked it goes to museums. Museums .are high class junk yards. Some are so high class that they charge admission fees. Colleges charge admission fees, too, but museums are better because the-junk there is well labeled. People who go to museums would not like colleges. Colleges are like burleque dancers, they try to dress up an old piece of junk and pass it off as a new model. In a museum junk is labeled as such and there is no attempt to "Develop and Correlate the Perceptions into Meaningful Wholes." The most interesting thing about a museum-is the bar acress the street. The next most interesting thing is the science exhibit which has a talking robot. Colleges go this one better—they have mechanical men who write down what the robot says. This is know as the Lecture System. This system is ancient enough to be valuable to a museum. For those who don't know their way around, most museums offer conducted tours. Conducted, tours are generally dull. A conducted tour through college usually lasts four years, but it's worth the time—you see a lot more junk, especially fossils. Museum guidebooks are another great help, especially if last years mail-order catalog isn't handy. College catalogs are also useful. Some people stay around museums too long and are put to work as directors. A museum director lives in the past and becomes an expert on junk. As soon as he's classified as an expert he looks for another job. A lot of college directors were once museum directors. There's relatively little difference. . As custodians of junk, colleges aren't nearly as" efficient as museums. Museums take pride in their junk and hire janitors to keep it dusted. Colleges let it rust, then repaint it.

Friday, August 8,1947 Bells In Fast Finish |-or 2nd State Title Manager Joe Martin's Bellingham Bells captured the state semi-pro championship again this year by handing the Northern State Hospital nine a twin defeat, 10 to 4 and 6 to 3, Monday night at the Girard street field. Two spectacular relief jobs by Bellingham pitchers highlighted the curtain ringing double-header and paved the way for the Bells second straight state championship. In the first contest Hal Arnason relieved Dick Plank in the second inning and held the hospital Indians to two lone runs in the seven remaining innings while the Bells were pounding the visiting pitchers for ten runs. Cleary Cone's relief role in the second game still has the Bellingham spectators talking and earned for the left-hander the classification of the tourney's most valuable player. Cone came to the aid of starter Ivanich in the fourth inning with ;"^he Bells trailing by a 3 to 2 score, ^ d h d held the visitors until the tenth ginning w h e n Manager Martin's "champs pushed across three more runs^to break a 3 to 3 deadlock and win the final game of the tournament. Timely hitting by Cliff Gaffney and Sid Van Sinderen was another big factor in the double win by the Bells. • The possibilities of sending the state champs to Wichita to the. national semi-pro tournament a re strong according to the rumors around the Girard street clubhouse. The Bells have a much stronger team- than the one they sent to Witehita a year ago and should fare pretty well if they do make the trip this season. The possibilities are that the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce will sponsor a drive to raise needed funds to send their state champions to the nationals.

With such a basis for our thinking we can, as students, formulate a philosophy which, as teachers, we can use to help others orient themselves in a world where War has become not a matter of national honor and patriotism, but a stark catastrophe involving all nations in inescapable atomic obliterations" DR. KEITH A. MURRAY, social s c i e n c e instructor, answered the question thus, "The first thing we can do is to stop predicting inevitable war with Russia or anyone else. Nothing is inevitable, certainly war is not inevitable. If we will do what we can, even as single individuals to ease ethnic, social, or economic tensions, here and overseas; speaking in behalf of tolerance, justice and democracy wherever and whenever we can, and our efforts are matched by other similar •minded individuals, we shall need neither to surrender to communism nor fight a war.

SEARCHERS FOR LOST LAKE WILL LEAVE THE GYM TOMORROW AT 8:30 Consolidating Student Offices Will Give More Efficient Service . Old students returning to school this fall will go to a different room to pay fees and get their credit cards. Construction is progressing rapidly in room 119, where the first phases of the remodeling are nearing completion. The biggest job still to be done is construction of a new vault to house the financial records of the college. To all those who are familiar with the appearance of the college, this new construction will be noteworthy, for it will slightly alter the front of the building. The vault is to be built outside room 119, between the Walls of the building and first floor entry, over the basement entrance. The basement entrance will become, in effect, a short tunnel from the sidewalk, under the vault, into the basement hall. New Vault Under Construction ~. The vault will have three rooms occupying two stories, and will be constructed of reinforced concrete, with a brick veneer on the front, visible side. Concrete footings have already been poured. During the past several days, workmen were busy drilling and excavating, and the vault will rest on the secure foundation of solid rock, nine feet below sidewalk level. The Charles A. Standen Construction Co., of Bellingham, is the contractor. It was discovered, while pouring the footings, that the portion of the building that includes the south main floor entrance has settled three inches since it was built. This is accounted for by the fact that that part of the building was built on a fill, while the remainder is founded on solid rock- ..The vault will be constructed so that it will "float", and remain in position if further settling occurs. Department of Student Personnel "Moving the business office to a new location will make facilities available for a new administrative unit, the department of Student Personnel," stated Dr. W. W. Haggard, president. "In the past, it has been necessary to house the different student records in different offices. This naturally resulted in some delay and confusion in recording, supplying information to individual students, and preparing personnel information for the various agencies concerned. Moving the business office to its new location in room 119 will allow consolidation of all student offices and records into a single administrative* unit, and Western Washington College will be better able to give speedy, efficient service to its students. Efficiency is the watchword," Dr. Haggard concluded. Donald Ferris New Registrar The transfer of the business office is only one part of a three-way switch in administrative offices. The registrars office will move into the room vacated by the financial staff, and the new office, student personnel, will occupy the present registrar's office. Dr. Merle S. Kuder will be the Director of Student Personnel, and Donald Ferris will join the college as Registrar. Mr. Ferris comes from Mount Vernon Junior College by Way of Columbia University, where he is studying this summer, and will assume his new position this fail. Hikers Search For Lost Lake As a double climax to a week whose activities have already included a salmon bake and a picnic at the rocks, the school recreation committee has planned for the energetic, a hike; and for those whose tastes run to the relaxing and scenic, a boat ci'uise. On Saturday, there will be a five-mile hike to Lost Lake in the Chuck-anut Mountain area. The lake is one-half mile long and gets its n a m e from its hidden position among the hills. Hikers will carry their lunches. Coffee will be provided at the lake. The fish are jumping for those who take tackle and a license. Side trips may be taken to Pine and Cedar lakes. There will be no charge for this outing. The party will leave from the gym at 8:30 Saturday morning, and the hike will begin from the vicinity of Larrabee State Park. On Sunday there will be an all-day cruise among the islands aboard the M. V. Osage, visiting Sucia, Matia, Patos, and Waldron Islands. The party will stop for picnic lunch at Waldron, where there is an excellent swimming beach. Campfire coffee will be provided; each voyager should take his lunch. The boat will sail at 9:00 Sunday morning and will return to port about 6:00. There will be room for sixty passengers. Tickets are on sale in the recreation office at $1.75 each. Extension Workshops Show Enrollment Of Over 500 Teachers Nearly 500 elementary school teachers have enrolled for the summer extension workshops being conducted by Western Washington College of Education, Dr. W. W. Haggard, president, announced today. At Bremerton, the college in cooperation with the Kitsap county schools and the state board of education opened the two week session July 23 with 87 in attendance. A. L. Venn-Watson, Kitsap county superintendent, and Sidney Haugan, elementary supervisor for the Port ATTENTION P. L. 16 All veterans training under Public Law 16 are again reminded to contact the Veteran's Guidance Center as quickly as possible to sign application for annual leave for summer vacation. This has been accomplished by quite a number of Public Law 16 veterans, but there are still a few who have not given us any information regarding their plans for the summer. Wooden Dolls Coming Friday Marionettes have e n t e r t a i n e d WWC students before and are scheduled to do so again in this coming Friday's assembly, August 8. Don George, one of the foremost manipulators of marionettes in the United States, is presenting a performance for the college with some of his famous wooden dolls. Mr. George perfected his t e c h n i q ue u n d e r Tony' Sarg, the modern master of puppetry. The students will probably become acquainted with Paul Bunyan, Jr., who acts as the rriaster-of-cere-monies for most of the performance, with Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn; characters from Alice in Wander-land, and from the "Mikado." A loud speaking system will be used, and since Mr. George uses large marionettes, from 27 inches to 30 inches tall, the, performance should be easily seen by everyone. Students Healthy During the 1946-47 school year, only 70 students were assigned to the college infirmary, President W. W. Haggard revealed today. "It was a very unusual year from the point of view of the health of the students," concluded Dr. Haggard. State Board Studies Graduate Program At Three Colleges ' At the July meeting of the State Board of Education in Olympia last week, the Board considered the graduate program of the three Washington Colleges of Education. A committee was appointed to examine in detail the program at each of the colleges, and to report back to the Board within two months. Various members of the Board spoke very highly of the graduate program recently inaugurated at the three institutions. ^r; Dateline . . . Saturday, August 2—All day hike to Ik gt;st Lake. Sunday, August 3—All day cruise around Orcas Island. - Monday, August 4 —Camera club meeting at 7:30 in darkroom. Tuesday, August 5—Assembly. Wednesday, August 6, 4:00 p. m.— Hike to Deadman's Point.

In The Good Old Summertime! —Cut Courtesy Bellinjrnatn Herald These two pretty WWC coeds have found that there is more than one way to beat the heat. Here'they are in the backyard at Senior hall cramming for midterm finals. Emmy Lou McGraw, left, of St. Glairs-vilie, Ohio, and Ellie Wilbanks of Vancouver, B. C. Orchard schools, are in charge of arrangements. Miss Hazel Plymp-ton, Miss Myrtle Burnham, Mrs. Mabel Hodge, and Mrs. Bearnice Skeen are the consultants from the college. Opening at Vancouver on July 30, the Clark county workshop has an enrollment of over 100. Dr. Raymond P. Hawk, director of the Campus school, and the Misses Evelyn Odom, June McLeod, Alice Siemons and Vivian Johnson will represent the college. Skagit County Workshop On August 18, the Skagit county workshop will open in Sedro-Wool-ley with Ted Muncaster, superintendent of the Sedro-Woolley schools in charge of local arrangements. Mrs. Skeen is director of organization and program, and will be aided by Miss Edna Channer and Miss Priscilla Kinsman of the college faculty. The arts and crafts workshop will be held in Seattle on August 13, at Lincoln high school with M i ss Plympton and Dale Goss representing the college. Dr. Hawk is in charge of the organizing and coordinating of the staffs for the various groups. The workshops are conducted to give those teachers who are unable to attend summer school an opportunity to work together in an attempt to solve some of the problems confronting them in the field of elementary education. The college grants three hours of credit to those completing the course. . Glenn Burgess Attending Drama Festival Glenn Burgess, of Bellingham, who is known to the students for his acting in school productions of Dear Ruth and The Corn Is Green, left last Friday morning for Plymouth, Mass., to attend summer course of Plymouth Drama Festival. Glenn is one of 120 aspiring actors who were selected from 1,800 applicants to take part in summer productions of "the biggest little theater in the world." Glenn was selected upon the recommendation of Mr. Victor Hoppe, college drama instructor. Plymouth -Drama Festival produces 45 Broadway plays in its five • theaters during each six-week term, with stage and screen celebrities as guest directors and players. Glenn will first be tiled out by his reciting a five-minute reading. After several weeks of training, he will aid in productions. ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 August 1 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, August 1, 1947 Established 1899 Member Associated GoIle6»ate Press Published every Friday, except the month of September by the Associated Students, Wastern Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Wash.

ATTENTION SMOKERS! At irregular intervals it appears to be necessary to remind the inveterate smokers of the student body to be careful with their cigarette stubs. Few of us condemn smoking on the campus; however, with certain privileges go certain responsibilities, and it doesn't appear to be an unreasonable request to ask all smokers to refrain from cluttering the entrances to the buildings with their cigarettes. This isn't the first time this matter, has come to our attention, and undoubedly it will not be the last; however, we sincerely hope it will not be necessary to call it to your attention again this quarter. Enough said. • RESURFACED PARKING LOT With the hard surfacing of the parking lot and drives rapidly near-ing completion, another eyesore of longstanding is being removed. Not only will the resurfacing eliminate the unsightly mudholes, but it will, by providing better parking facilities, alleviate to a degree the present traffic bottleneck. We commend the Board of Trustees for their action in bringing about this long needed improvement. onise ana gu By BOB MOBLO If anyone in the jazz world is eligible to play the serious music of Fritz Kreisler in the way that it was written, Charlie Spivak would be the man. Currently released in album form, are several Kreisler violin pieces specially transcribed and arranged for the sweet horn of Spivak. The album includes such beautiful numbers as Tamborin Chinois, Liebes-leid and Shon Bosmarin all done in the flowing tones of a mellow trumpet and losing little of the great feeling and subtle flavoring of the original. PICTURE IN THE MIDDLE AND THE MUSIC ON TOP . . . Currently popular around the local platter shops is a new novelty disk including double feature attractions. When the record is in motion the haunting strains of your favorite melody may be-heard, and when stopped the platter may be hung on the wall as an attractive picture. The whole idea involves the transparency of plastic disks.

"Resin on the bow, and here we go" are the opening lines to one of the biggest laughs since Cohan on the Telephone. Tim-Tayshun, as sung by Cinderella G.

His words flowed out of his mouth in a monotonous monotone, conducive to slumber, or so the hapless students thought. Their minds caught at a word here and there but in the end gave it up as a bad job and eventually most of them retreated into their protective shells of daydreams or just plain sleep. —— Verbs, infinitives, gerunds, adverbial clauses, passed unseen and unheard before the students' eyes and ears. The professor stopped short in the middle of a long winded sentence designed to differentiate between a noun clause and an adjective clause, looked disgustedly at his langorous pupils and barked: "Class dismissed! I might as well be teaching a room full of apes for all the attention you give. And then you wonder why you can't speak English so people can understand you! You will never get anywhere in this world if you don't use English correctly. No one will understand what you mean." Later that day the irate teacher they are poking fun at the Bi- Chordal, Romping-Rhythm. boys such as Bob Wills. Well done! Well done! BALLET . . . Not being a choreographer of any repute it is difficult to understand all of the subtle meaning that was supposedly experienced in the dances at the assembly last Friday. However, almost everyone was amused at the antics of Miss Mary Tiffany in the comedy pieces and somewhat amazed at the graceful, flowing rhythm in the serious. Aside from these few things that could be appreciated by the layman, Miss Tiffany's program lacked the color and beauty that could have been there had we understood her action. For instance the Mind of Misery piece was evidently a portrayal of the manic-depressive type of psychosis which is about as satisfying as saying that the D Minor Symphony of Franck, portrays sadness. It just isn't enough. I believe that if we could have one good ballerina of Miss Tiffany's ability who would spend at least a part of her program in the explanation of the latent meanings of her dance we could all enjoy seeing ballet without that feeling of being in the dark.

Two students, members of his class were indulging in what appeared to be to the professor an odd mixture of slang and other words chosen at random. "Say, Bill, you still have that there red ink we had last Saturday night? Boy, were we ever oiled! That kong sure hit my pail hard. We should.be able to get some legit next time." "Yea, Joe, we might be able to have another little diluted jam session. Got a gasper on you? I'll take one of the herd. Got a meyer in your coffee bags? Thanks." The professor stepped back rather startled. What kind of language was this? Some strange double-talk, no doubt. He heard his name mentioned. Again he listened. Bill was remarking to Joe: "Say, you know, that English giggle's really droolin' with schoolin', ain't he? If he ever gets himself cooked, there won't be nuthin' left but an irregular verb." "Aw, stop worrin'. Ferget that educated moron.

He's been out of circulation too long and got musty. His line ain't got no oats." The red-faced professor hurried away from the pair of students. So that was what he was, eh? He was a dull, uninteresting old fuddy-duddy, was he? He'd show them! Maybe that was it! Maybe he had been out of circulation so long he had forgotten how to talk to the young people. Perhaps if he spoke their language . . .! The professor turned his steps toward the library. The next day in class he greeted his pupils rather uncertainly then turned to the lesson. "Now here is something I'd like to have you latch on to." The students opened their eyes. "I have no doubt been er-ah, slicing my chops too much about grammer and so on, but I shall endeavor to rectify my error. I should have remembered you and I were raised in different eras. Perhaps you will do a little more-er-er, racking up, if I get my ideas over in your language." • The students sat up and grinned. Now this was more like it. The old boy must have a spark left in him yet. Bill stuck an elbow into Joe's ribs and muttered in his ear: "He'll do alreet as soon as we get some of that fancy language trained out of him. It don't sound right mixed togethor. We should get something out of this class now that he's laid his racket." .

It's frustrating! The poor fish swims for hours, get's tired, and can't figure out why —he hasn't gone anywhere! He ponders. (A pondering goldfish has that same intelligent look seen on the face of a 7:30 lecture class student.) Pondering leads, by necessity, to clear-headed thinking, so the goldfish, like the student, gives up and goes back to swimming around in circles. ( "And-Fishing" Most aquaria, like most institutions of higher learning, are devised for circular motion. Pish, therefore, get used to swimming in circles. This is known as "adaptation to the environment," a practice which is healthy to begin with, but which becomes dangerous when it gets to be a habit. But fish are foolhardy and like to live dangerously. Occasionally one of them debarks from the norm and swims in a square pattern. He becomes what is known as a "square in the social circle" and is ostracised. People in institutions of higher learning are ostracised for the same reason. Obviously it doesn't pay to go square when everyone else is going 'round and 'round. "Area of Concentration" It has been suggested that a rectangular aquarium be devised. This is too confusing for fish which are well indoctrinated in circular swimming —they get lost in corners. Jack Horner knew what to do with a corner, but most fish dont. They merely hang around, their particular corner, proclaiming loudly that it is the only decent corner in the tank and that any self-respecting fish would choose that corner above all others. They become pedantic about their corner, rationalize it's obvious faults and indulge smugly in its virtues. This is known as specialization or "area of concentration." Those fish which poke around in all comers are frowned upon since they obviously cant make up their minds, and without an "area of concentration," cant be educated. Since they cant be educated they are given a B. A. in education and removed from the fishbowl. Miss May Meade Retires After Thirty-Three Years of Service By NITA CLOTHIER Miss May Meade, dear to the students for her pink pills, class excuses, and sage motherly advice, retired this month after 33 years in the office of school nurse. The students and administration regret Miss Meade's retirement, and are grateful to her for her years of faithful competent service. . Miss Meade is the daughter of A. E. Meade, who was governor of the state in the years 1905 to 1909. She became a member of the Bellingham Normal staff in 1914, soon after graduation from Northwest Training School for Nurses in Port Town-send. She became a registered nurse in 1919 with the first class in public health to graduate from the University of Washington after World War I. In 1920, she was appointed to the State Board of Nurse Examiners by Governor Lister. She was twice reappointed serving the board for 13 years. Miss Meade plans to spend a year in Pasadena, California, returning next spring to live with her brother in Olympia. Miss Mead has been replaced in the nurse's office by Miss Elmina Boothby of Everett. Miss Meade's has been an ex-amplary record of selfless service. Her sweet smile and gentle manner appeal to patients; however one, tends to take these traits for granted. Upon losing her, we pause to realize and to appreciate the depth of character behind always-there, ever soft-spoken, ever helpful Miss Meade.

An-opening night game, September 27, with St. Martins college at Battersby field at 8 p. m. under the floodlights, sets off the eight game Viking schedule. The men of Lappenbusch will play four of them at home,. and four away. An extra Thanksgiving Day tilt, to be held at Bellingham, is an added possibility. A tip off as to the Viking football strength seems to be anyone's guess at the present moment. According to Coach Lappenbusch there are at the present moment at least nine improbable starters on the coming gridiron edition. Dr. Lapp recalled his 1938 championship outfit when but one or two slots were before hand question marks. Stressing his lack*;6f tackles, Lappy also intimated need for more depth in the guard department in the way of heavy and fast men. Losses Felt The loss of such men as Del Peterson, Herb Witt, Don Packard, as well as others will be felt, although their places may well be filled by a galaxy of second year men all of whom performed most capably last year. Pre-game practice will jump the gun just a little this year, with the first training table on tap September 15. Coach Bill McDonald, the adept and indispensable Viking trainer will again handle the kneading operations. On paper it shapes up as a more than ordinarily well matched Winco league football year, although reports from Pacific Lutheran keep insisting that school is the team to beat. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch sums it all up with a timely, whimsical remark, "All the other teams are boasting of an undefeated season. We might as well be quoted as not losing a game either."

Only 23 energetic, nature-loving, students and faculty members made the strenuous climb up the mountain, C o a c h Clyde McDonald chairman of the summer recreation program, revealed today. "We had plenty of good food, and everybody cooperated in preparing it," Coach McDonald said. "However," he . continued, "Dr. Irwin Hammer proved his stellar ability at flipping flapjacks." Though the sky remained overcast most of the time, it did not rain. Sunday, many short hikes were taken to nearby points, with three of the party (Misses Mildred Herrick, Marjorie Muffly and Mar-jorie Kingsley) taking a 12 mile side trip to Copper Mt. Lookout. Coach McDonald w a s t h e unhappy victim of an unfortunate, though not serious, accident when he was thrown by one of the horses. The party returned to the campus Sunday evening. Semi-Pro Tourney Starts Today; Bells Play Army Tonight Bellingham's semi-pro champions, the Bells, will defend their state title tonight at Battersby field against the Fort George Wright nine in the opening game of the 1947 semi-pro tournament. Skipper Joe Martin's pitching staff for the tournament includes Hal Arnason, Dick Plank, Cleary Cone, and Al Ivanich, with Arnason or Plank probably getting starting duties tonight. Besides the seasons regulars, Ty Hofeditz, Dick Zender, Cliff Gaff-ney, Bob Nunamaker, Walt Richardson, Van Sinderen, Pete Zender, Pat Brady, and Clayton Carr, Manager Martin has added Prank Fidler, Everett first baseman, and Jack Hjel-maa, Vancouver infielder, to the tournament roster. The addition of the two new players was to bring more power into the batting order, and both will probably see action in the Bells' outfield. Bob Nunamaker was the starting second baseman for the Western nine during the past college season. The first tournament game tonight is scheduled to get underway at 8:15 p. m. Collegians Play In County Softball Meet Bellingham's soft-ball teams are losing ground fast in the Lynden. tournament. Only Bellingham'Mot-ors of the A league and Knights of Columbus in the B league remained Wednesday evening. Puget Sound Power will be able to take fifth place by winning their next game. Ferndale and Lynden All-Stars collided last night, and the winner wiH meet the Bellingham Motors for the title. Tuesday night the Pacific Coast Paper Mills and the Y's Men Club will eliminated. The tournament has been a great success for the town of Lynden this year with the ball park crowded every evening. The playoff was held at the fair grounds. At present Lynden All-Stars loom up as the possible victors from their strong showing throughout the games. Numerous WWC men have taken part in the tournament, if not in the game itself; behind the plate. Jack Burrell of Huntoon has been plate umpire for three of the games so far.

T. A. INSTITUTE OPENS HERE NEXT TUESDAY ;.„ J Poll Reveals Majority WWC Students Against Teacher Strike At the annual convention of the National Education Association held in .Cincinnati recently, a resolution against strikes was adopted. The N.E.A. believes that the strike is "an unsatisfactory method of solving professional problems;" however, it deplores the conditions which have caused teachers to strike. Furthermore, the N.E.A. urges teachers, and others within the profession, to assume more of the responsibility for the removal of those conditions. •Your WWCoilegian in a poll conducted'this week finds a majority of the students at WWC supporting this stand of the N.E.A. . A s a representative sampling of the student body, 115 students were polled in the survey which asked: "SHOULD TEACHERS BE ALLOWED TO USE THE STRIKE AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR SETTLING WAGE AGREEMENTS" • - Yes ...J .....52 • -No'....-...„ 58 No Opinion 5 Nearly all of those participating in the poll -would have qualified, their answers. .Replies such as, "I think they, should be allowed to strike,' but, I don't think they should strike." "They should have the same-rights as any other American.". "It depends on the conditions in the school district," were voiced over und over. One student in voting "NO" stated, "Teachers should not be allowed to strike. They have a moral responsibility to the youngsters of our country." Another student, with nearly twenty years of teaching experience, said, "They most certainly should be allowed to strike. The work of the Bremerton group last year helped all of us." The general consensus of opinion was that teachers should be allowed to strike, but they shouM use. other means of settling their problems. Terpsichorean Fascinates Large, Appreciative Student Audience Dancing with an ease and grace acquired only through long hours of practice, Miss Mary Tiffany entertained an appreciative group of students and visitors in the auditorium this morning. Acting as her own choreographer, and showing an innate sense of humor as well as dramatic ability in all of her modern dances, Miss Tiffany, presented an hour of the most delightful entertainment witnessed here this summer. Miss Tiffany has had training at the Pasadena Playhouse in California, and the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. In addition, she -jf Dateline . . . Saturday, July 2ft—Viqueen lodge picnic.

A Canadian violinist from Vancouver, he has played before large audiences in both Canada and the United States. Prances Marr is the piano accompanist to Mr. Adaskin. The New York Times says: "Mr. Adaskin is unquestionably a fine violinist with ample technical skill." His program should be one of interest to all WWC students. Prexy Travels President W. W. Haggard and Dr. Merle P. Kuder, registrar, drove to Olympia Thursday morning to attend the two-day annual meeting of the State Board of Education and the State Board of Vocational Education. Evening Songfest Climaxes First Term Recreation Approximately 75 g o u r m a n ds feasted on weiners and potato salad Wednesday evening as their end-of- the-first-term celebration. The weiner roast was held in the picturesque setting atop Sunset heights with its view of the bay and islands. The picnic, under sponsorship of the recreation department was the last event planned for the first term. As a fitting conclusion to the outing Dr. Keith A. Murray, of the Social Science department, lead the picnickers in group singing. Van Aver Back With Degree Resuming his position with the English department after a year's leave of absence, Dr. Albert Van Aver contends that graduate study today presents more pressing problems than mere work and study, the least of which isn't housing. Dr. Van Aver and his family found it next to impossible to obtain living quarters in Cincinnati, and the few places which were available were almost-"untenantable*. Needless "to say, the Van Aver's are glad to be back in Bellingham and their home. Dr. Van Aver received the doctor of philosophy degree at the University of Cincinnati in June. Local Artist Sings Entertaining the s t u d e n t s of WWCE with an extensive repetoire of songs was Miss. Hortense Harrington, dramatic soprano and a native of Bellingham. Her program included several folk songs of different countries sung in their native language and dramatically presented to ihe audience. Other numbers were classical selections from Brahms, Rachmaninoff, an operatic number from Wagner's "Tannhauser" and several other pieces. She was accompanied by Miss Edith Strange at the piano. Hannegan Pass, Sea Cruise Beckon Outdoor Enthusiasts The second .part of the summer recreation program opens with two activities designed to attract not only the rugged, but also those who like to take life with less exertion. Tomorrow's event is another boat trip, this time to Sinclair Island, where the college maintains Viqueen Lodge, a beautiful cabin in its, natural setting, for the enjoyment of college students. Facilities for picnicking, swimming, sunbathing, and fishing are excellent. There are also several short, well marked hiking trails. Sinclair trippers will board the V. M. Osage at Quackenbush dock Saturday morning. Departure time is 7:00 a. m. The Osage will leave the party at about 9:30 and return again at 4:00 p. m. for the voyage home. The college will, furnish coffee, but picnickers must take their own lunches. HANNEGAN PASS HIKE An overnight hike to Hannegan Pass is the other, and longer, feature of this week-end. Hikers will leave the PE building at 7:45 Saturday morning for the drive up to the trail where the hike will begin. The hike to the camping grounds is between four and five miles, so hikers are advised to take along a light lunch to eat on the trail. Arrangements have been made to pack all food and equipment to the camp site, but each person should be responsible for personal articles, clothing, and sun glasses. Those who are going are advised to check the Yodeler for details. Saturday night, camp will be made near Hannegan Pass, a location of unsurpassed beauty. The rugged peaks and ranges provide a perfect alpine background for the camp site.. Among the attractions is the mountain heather, which thrives in this area. Early Sunday morning, a part of the group will climb Ruth Mountain, a short, but brisk climb, and one with a beautiful view to reward the climber. All hikers will return Sunday evening. Married Studes Picnic Sunday The Students' Wives club will sponsor a picnic for married students of WWC and their families at Whatcom Falls Park Sunday afternoon, July 27. Picnickers are advised to pack a Sunday dinner. Coffee will be provided. Shuffleboard," tennis and croquet equipment will be provided for adults, and playground facilities will be available to the children. A lifeguard will be on duty at the swimming pool. Those without transportation may catch the Silver Beach bus, which runs directly by the park, at the corner of Garden and Holly. Site Of Forthcoming P.-T. A Institute Final preparations were being made this week for the Washington Congress of Parents and Teachers Institute which opens a three day meet here next Tuesday. Mrs. Gus Keehn, state elementary service chairman, will act as general chairman of the institute. She will be assisted by Mrs. J. W. Bingham, representative, National Congress of Parents and Teachers; Mrs. George Crampton, president, Washington Congress of Parents and Teachers; Mrs. W. B. Nattrass, president, Bellingham Council P.T.A., and others. Afl WWC students are invited to attend as many - of the sessions as possible. Most of the sessions will be held in the auditorium of the Campus school. ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 July 25 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, July 25, 1947 Established 1899 Member Associated Gofletfate Press Published every Friday, except the month of September by the Associated Students, Wastern Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Wash.

Last week's WWCollegian carried a press release comparing the average school teacher's salary in the state of Washington with those of teachers in other states. It pointed out the great financial gains made in the past year by Washington school teachers, and concluded by stating that the new increases represent a 92% gain over the 1942 average. . We in the field of education are PROUD of those gains, and rightly so, for they represent no little effort on the part of all of us to better conditions in our profession. However, before anyone starts pointing out the new "happy" state of Washington's school teachers, they must realize that the comparison was made WITHIN THE TEACHING PROFESSION. To obtain a clearer, truer picture of the situation, the release would have done well to have include a few figures such as these: Bricklayers *$2.10W per hour Carpenters I.SWi " " Electricians 2J0OVi " " Painters... !J0% " " Plasterers 2.Wz " " Plumbers 2.20 " " * As of February 15, 1947, at Seattle, Washington.

If the married veterans in attendance at WWC have been following the progress of the "subsistence bill" now before the Senate with more than the usual amount of interest, they have a good reason to do so A $15.00 a month increase now would be like money from home. ft wouldn't be so bad if prices were at the 1941 level, but to try and stretch $90 over 31 days is next to impossible now-a-days. By comparing the average retail prices of foods in 56 large cities onFebruary 15, 1947, with the prices prevailing on January 15, 1941, vou can readily see why your $90 disappears with such rapidity.

MOBLO With the arrest of Billie Holiday recently comes the bitter barb in the side of all professional musicians— the Dope Charge. Time and time again we hear the old saying that a good musician can't survive without his side kick, Mother Marijuana. The Big Names in the music racket have a large following of junior size fans, and- realizing that they are idealized by these kids most band leaders take special precaution to stay away from the stuff. Our position as educators should be that of debunking any ideas the kids may have that to play well a musician must be drunk or on a Tea-Kick. When performers like Billie, or Gene Krupa of a few years back, lower themselves to take dope, it is high time they were marked off the eligible list for public consumption. Such fine musicians as Ellington, Miller, the Dorsey boys, etc., have presented a terrific type of jazz, without any help from the "hemp." This all adds up that the dope who takes dope is just a fair musician with big-time ideas and and small-time talent. More and more name musicians and band leaders have swapped the placid podium for the platter parade. Kate Smith, Paul Whiteman and T. Dorsey are the latest hipsters who have left the stage for steady jobs as Disk-Jockies. What with this current trend we might expect to hear the voice of A. Toscanini on the networks jovially cooing, "and now Tod and Verklarung going to the Black Dahlia from Red—etc., etc." Record of the Week: An amusing number by Jerry Colona "Cow Pasture Polka (lift your feet, lift your feet." Composer Roy Harris has published iiis newest musical monstrosity— Concerto for Accordian and Orchestra, which was broadcast last month. If this number doesn't put the Squeeze Box back in the hay loft it won't be the fault of Herr Roy. "Hand me my Jaw Harp ma, I crave to be an artist." It was announced that someone dug up the rest of a Rachmaninoff First Symphony in the rubble of Moscow the other day.

And returned with suntans! Pardon me while I scratch. I've been so nettled by nettles, and straffed by mosquito buzz bombers that I can't sit still. And that peel-that he went home and tore up the score. Many times afterward he tried to reconstruct it but always with failure. If complete parts have been found we will soon hear a posthumous Rachmaninoff symphony. The lowly trombone, about which pointed remarks have been made since its birth, may soon become a concert instrument. Anyway so the Russians think. Concerto Duets for Two Trombones has been published by a teacher in the Moscow Conservatory. Could this have any bearing up on the Russian lack of cooperation? Tuesday's assembly was one of the best musical assemblies I have ever attended. Miss Harrington succeeded in presenting a program that was thoroughly enjoyable. The German numbers were especially well done. Both, Come Sweet Death, in a mellow voice full of great feeling and beautiful phrasing, and the aria from Tannhauser were sung in a way that would make the best music critics sit up and take notice. I Hate Music, a very modern number by the composer, conductor, pianist Leonard Bernstien, was an amusing little piece consisting of five songs written in the medium of a small child. The Wandering tonal patters peculiar to the non-melodious modern music require a good amount of skill in voice control and tonal precision. It was truly excellent interpretation of a difficult piece. Miss Harrington's excellent choice of program material proves that she is not only a true artist but a philanthropist as well. ing sunburn on my back doesnt ease matters. But let's go back: "Come on," my roommate Ellie urged me. "Well spend a wonderfully relaxing weekend on the beautiful misty isle of Sucia—nothin' but lotus eating, lounging, a n d swimming in the beautiful sea that ebbs and flows there. Then—then," she says, "We can really start studying for the finals." "Ank, ank! I'm laughing yet. We each had strained a muscle by the time we'd hitch-hiked our way to Citizens' dock. (Ellie had sold Ruthe Wilder with the same sales talk.) What with knapsacks, paper sacks, sleeping sacks, and week-end sacks (bags to you, but sacks works in better), you'd have strained a muscle too. But gee-whiz, a girl really has to have all her lipsticks, sun tan oils, changes of clothes, and so forth when she goes on a two-day camping trip. Anybody knows that. And students that we are, we had to take a collection of books—any student knows that. Anticipating four hours on the high seas with no food, of course we had to take a lunch. So Ellie loaded down-with lunch, Ruthe with sacks, and me with the three sleeping bags, we hit the road at 1000 (sea-going for the time) Saturday morning. Arriving at last at Sucia and after chow, served by Mr. Kfear-sey and Mr. MacDonald, Happy Fisher consented to guide a group on a little walk across the island. You might call ft a "little" walk if you don't care what you say. Amid bee and nettle stings, sunburn and scratches, there's nothing like a "little" walk with Hap Fisher. Around campfire that evening, Mr. Mac had to lead us in "Goodnight Ladies" four times befdrt we took thehint and[toddled :;offlH»*the sacks. "Sweet dreams," they said.

The Yak (Bos grunniens) inhabits the Tibetan plateau. Being a member of the ox family, it is relatively simple to tell him apart from the other inhabitants. Yaks afford the only means of transportation along the Indus River between Ladak and India. Economists have been wondering for some time how they afford it. Some say it could happen only under a single-tax program, others give the credit to Capitalism. The .French won't believe it and the Russians have vetoed the whole thing. The Yak, of course, goes right on transporting and doesn't give it another thought. Most people know more about Yaks than they will admit. The Yak crops up quite often in our daily conversation. For example, as a means of cynical laughter people often chant, "yak, yak." In Minnesota the Yak is a mythical character from local folklore. One of the first poems children from that part of the country learn is: Yak be nimble, Yak be quick, Yak jump over the candlestick. The Yak is entirely unaware of his influence. Though the Yak looks somewhat like a well fed dust mop, he doesnt •like to be pushed around. The amount of effort it would take to push one around wouldn't be worth it, anyway. And besides, who wants to be a professional Yak pusher? A Yak is black. Which, besides being assonant, makes it easier for him to get around at night without being spotted. Some of them, however, are spotted—these are the black and white Yaks. Being spotted, they are quickly caught and domesticated. Once domesticated they start affording transportation and the economists become more confused. Yak's are like that. Now we're back where we started from. To find the area of this vicious circle, substitute Yak for Pi and proceed accordingly. Engaged Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Peaster, to Mr. Robert O.

Most G.I.'s that are attending schools of higher learning have forgotten a good share of the things that are taken for granted by the instructors. Their reason for forgetting can be well explained. They have been out of school anywhere from one to ten or more years. In that time such things as English, math, and so on have been forgotten, except the simplest forms in everyday use. I don't believe we should be expected to know as much as a person who has had no or little delay in education. In some instances it may appear as though we G.I. students at times do not know the usual rules and methods. It is in most cases not a lack of learning on our part, but a temporary forgetting which a little review could bring back to us. That is where my gripe comes in. . Some, of the. instructors don't wait to see who needs review. They take up the subject from where it was dropped in high school. It just isn't fair to the G.L who hasn't been to school for a good many years. A midnight-oil burning G.I.

The route of the cruise will be up Hale's Pass and through the San Juan islands, which is a trip of great beauty and interest. Sucia Island is located at the mouth of the Straits of Georgia. One of the foremost attractions of the island itself are the unusual geological formations, a feature of interest to Wash- •irtgtohteachers. • -•• The island is fingerlike in formation, with picturesque bays between each of the "fingers." The most famous of these is Fossil Bay, which is aptly named according to those who have tieen there. The trip will taKe two days to allow enough time for full exploration. The Activian departs from the Citizens Dock at 9:45 tomorrow morning. Running time between Bellingham and Sucia is about four hours. Those 'going on the trip are advised to take a lunch as none will be served on the boat and also check the recreation bulletin for a list of essential items. Sun glasses are in-dispensible for the trip. The Activian will leave Sucia Island Sunday . afternoon in time to arrive in Bellingham early Sunday evening. Wiener Roast And Songfest Wednesday Flickering firelight and an unsurpassed view of the setting sun will provide the atmosphere for the Sunset Hill wiener roast and songfest to be held on the Heights Wednesday, July 23, at six o'clock. The picnic, serving as a farewell to students leaving and a welcome to those entering for the second term, will culminate the first term activities planned by the summer recreation department. According to Mr. Clyde W. McDonald, summer recreation director, the menu will include such favorites as potato salad, the wiener and its accompanying bun, pickles, olives, mustard, ice cream, donuts and coffee. Tickets for the wiener roast are now on sale in the recreation department. As a conclusion to the evening, Dr. Keith Murray, of the Social Science department, will lead the group in community singing around the camp fire. To reach the heights, follow the trail from pavement end on High street. Washington School Teachers Overpaid? Paying next to the highest average school teacher salaries last year, Washington has moved still closer to the top position. A survey conducted by the New York Times reveals that with, the increase granted by the 1947 legislature, Washington teachers will receive $3,200, or only five per cent less than the $3,400 average of the state of New York, whose per capita income is 13 per cent greater than Washington's. The survey, proving teachers to have made the greatest financial gains in their history in 1947 with virtually every state granting increases averaging $400, shows the Washington increase of $700 to be among the highest. Washington teacher salaries for the 1946-1947 school year just closed averaged $2,500 compared with the $2,931 of New York and a national average of $2,000. The highest increase of any state was the $989 granted by Indiana",' bringing her 1946-1947 average of $2,011 up to $3,000 for the coming year. The only other state now as high as $3,000 is,Maryland whose $700 increase brings her new schedule to $3,100. "Of other states- whbser per -capita" income exceeds that of Washington, Connecticut has raised average salaries to $2,900, and California to $2,844. The latter state, highly publicized for liberality toward education, last year enacted a constitutional amendment fixing minimum salaries at $2,400, or 25 per cent less than the new Washington average. The new increase brings Washington salaries, which by last year had risen 51 per cent above the 1940 average, to 92 per cent above that period. (Press release Washington State Taxpayers Association.)

Students Who Played Football Eligible For News Writing By GLORIA WOODWARD Humming busily under his breath, an average student of WWCE meandered down the hall, obviously getting nowhere and without a worry or a care on his mind. "Hi ya, Joe, where ya goin'?" was a remark thrown out to a breeze that passed. The breeze returned slowly enough to disclose the form of another average student. "I'm going up to the Collegian office. Got to get my stories done. See you later." The breeze whipped up —— the stairs out of sight. The student continued meandering down the halls. A notice in the bulletin caught his eye. Writers wanted for the Collegian. H-m-m-m. Now that was something he could do. He had written lots of good English themes In fact they were so good, that several of the instructors had called him in to talk them over and had asked him to rewrite them. He should be able to handle the simple task of contributing to the school paper. Arriving at the door of the Collegian office, he noticed it was rapidly swinging back and forth. Approaching it cautiously, he saw nothing wrong so he boldly walked in. Blam! The student picked himself up from the floor, caught the muttered words "I'm sorry. In a . hurry, you know, have to get this in before the deadline." Good land! Did everyone move this fast all the ttme? He looked anxiously around for a familiar face. There was good old Joe banging away on the typewriter, intent on a sports story.

Step on it, now, the deadline's Wednesday noon. Got tb get all your copy in." The student took one glance at the grim face of the Collegian editor and scurried away. How in the world did one go about writing a story about a building? When he returned after three hours work on his masterpiece, he turned it in to the editor. The editor looked him up and down, scanned the paper and said kindly, "Look, chum, why don't you sit down and read this little book on how to write. Then maybe you can turn out a story for a newspaper instead of a grade D English composition." Turning back to his staff, the editor snapped "Get this story out, Joe, cover this assignment." The bewildered student stood in the middle of the floor as the world rushed by. The swinging door gave in with a crash under the impact of a half-dozen reporters coming in and out, three each way. The floor shook and swayed under the tramp of feet and the thud of typewriters. The editor paced up and down. Then the student noticed a path in the floor caused by the continued pacing. up and down by the editor. A typing reporter, thin and eman-ciated from the never-ceasing grind leaped up from the machine and knocked the student down in his hurry to get his next assignment in. So this was the newspaper business. The student opened his rapidly swelling black eyes and saw a page editor arguing with a reporter. "It can't be 24 ems wide because there isn't room for it!" the pa^ge editor shouted. What funny language they use here. The page editor was growing red in the face trying to convince the obviously none-to-bright reporter. He shuddered as the news hounds came roaring in one bygone or in packs with their stories. This was no place for him. What ever had given him the idea he could write anyway? Cautiously he tiptoed to the door, just as the editor caught him by the collar of his shirt and put him gently in a chair. "Study that style book, little one, then go out and get that story. You're in the newspaper business now." nunt4in DELIGHT HER WITH A DIAMOND WEISFIELD GOLDBERG FOR THAT SUN-PROOF SKIN Use Star-lite Cream Lotion Let's You Tan — Helps Prevent Painful Blistering and Peeling • POLOROID AND COOLRAY Sun Glasses Cuts Glare — Protects Your Eyes • COOLING Foot Powders For Burning, Aching Feet and Athlete's Foot • STAR Drug Co.

In this great country of ours it is possible, through representative government, to have our own views and desires acted upon in the legislative bodies of the nation. AJ1 you have to do is to let your Congressman know how you feel about things. Last week I had an opportunity to talk with my Senator. Burning with desire to know more about how things were going in Congress I asked, "Whadz a conatter goo misilin, lug or zig juta wa Mosgrad?" "Well, yes and no," he began cautiously. "I feel certain that they won't, but the President indicates that he'll veto it." "Od yannin, siggle poppin Mosgrad wan floeman!", I protested. A smile of relief broke on his face. He clapped a hairy hand on my shoulder and said, "I'm certainly glad you feel that way. That's exactly my opinion, and knowing I have a backer will give me new courage for the coming legislative battle." "Sajo, wein higgenlopper gout sig. Wha ziggin lou hogan sharpipe bicar, wha charamp winlocker?", I suggested. "Well, yes and no. Some are pro and some are con. Others are divided, affirmative and negative. Some will and some won't. A majority of the minority are for it and a minority of the majority are against it. Personally I'm staying on the fence until I see how the wind blows." I thanked him for the opportunity of talking with him, accepted a cigar, and went on my way, a devout believer in representative government.

Jimmy Lunceford, who has spent a good share of his life on bandstands thrilling audiences all over the U. S. with such fine tunes as his Lunceford Special, left an empty spot in the world of jazz. Jimmy is just another good reason for us to remember that the color of the skin makes no difference on the intelligence qfthe person it surrounds. Spike (shuck another ear) Jones has currently completed a tour of the U. S. with his versatile combo*. After breaking attendance records in several night spots, Spike and his brood have come home to roost. His latest recording is taken from an old circus march featuring trombone in more slips than an icy sidewalk. The name is Lassus Trombone. Record of the week is a Stan Kenton tune called Machito, fear . turing trombone and trumpet choruses in unheard-of upper ranges. The platter is backed by Collabera-tion of which a good amount is taken by Stan himself in a legitimate Chopin style piano. Tune to watch for is a pretty little ditty designed to tickle the ears of young and old alike. The tune, Why Shouldn't It Happen To Us, has a nice melody and very tricky lyrics . . . You'll like it. Tuesday, it was obvious that students and faculty were thrilled to the core by a tall Texas baritone. Yours Truly, having nothing against either Texans or baritones, was not so elated. Mr. Walker's enunciation and poise were excellent; however, it was felt that he would have done well to have had a built-in tuning fork to keep his meandering voice on pitch.

The climbing party left Kulshan Cabin at 4:30 Sunday morning and ascended to the Saddle between Mount Baker proper and Black Buttes before encountering winds of high velocity, penetrating cold and ice. Happy Fisher, guide, made the decision to descend. The opinion of members of the party was that Graziano New *Jalkin(j Hi Ood .. with bob dkkson Happy's ruling was well in keeping with his responsibilities to the inexperienced members of the party and the traditions of mountain climbing. An injury was sustained by a member of the party. Eric E. Jo-hansen, who was making the climb with his wife,. Chrystal, suffered a simple fracture of the ankle. The injury was taped by Clyde McDonald and Mr. Johansen was carried out by members of the party.

During the first five rounds it was a give and take battle with the challenger taking the first and fifth rounds and Zale being the aggressor in the middle three rounds. Hard-hitting Tony Zale, eight years senior to the "Rock", was favored to repeat his earlier victory over. Graziano, but the challenger after taking severe punishments in the face and having both eyes almost swollen shut fought his way back in the fifth and sixth rounds to be crowned the new champ. The New York boxing commission refused to stage the championship fight because of the bribe scandal involving "Rocfcy" earlier this year so Graziano's crown will probably not be recognized by Mike Jacobs and the rest of the New York commission. Graziano's first challenger for his newly acquired crown will probably be the high-flying "Sugar Ray" Robinson. Vikings Trim U. W. In Series Opener Western's softball team began their series with the University of Washington in a blaze of glory Wednesday night when they defeated the Huskies 6 to 5. Jerry Karnofski limited the Blue and Gold to a mere four hits while the Vikings were pounding out 10 bingles from the services of two Husky pitchers. The Burrell brothers were much in evidence as they collected six of the ten hits. Both Dick and Jack connected for triples, and Dick collected three m o re singles for„a. perfect night at bat. Dahl, catcher for the Blue and White, banged out two singles for three times up. 6 The only man from the University able to see Jerry's fastball was Stiene, first sacker, with two singles. Cumbo, third baseman, for the Huskies, handled five chances without an error. Ted Gary, Viking left fielder, came up with two nice catches to help Jerry on to victory. The Vikings next game will be with the University of Washington at Seattle.

Hawk, director of the Campus school. Meeting in Cincinnati,, Ohio, last week, 2,500 delegates to the N.E.A. convention voted to open an all-out campaign to obtain passage of the federal aid to education bill. Senator Robert A. Taft, chairman of the Senate labor and education committee, and one time opponent of the federal aid bill, told the delegates that federal aid is essential to rebuild and strengthen our schools for the security and well being of our nation. Dr. H. M. Ivy, chairman of the N.E.A. legislative commission; speaking in support of the bill said, '"We are on the verge of one of the greatest achievements in American education. Let's do the job and do it right away. Let's get federal aid now." Dr. Hawk agrees that federal aid would help to equalize the inequality in educational opportunity which exists between the various states. "Much of our remedial work today," said Dr. Hawk, "is with transient students who have moved into this state from localities which do not have the opportunities for education which exist here. Federal aid would make it possible for the poorer states to surmount many of the obstacles which now stand in their way." The teaching of science was another problem which received lengthy discussion at the convention. £' Dr. Morris Meister, president of the National Science Teachers Asso-ciatoin, stated, "Nation-wide the teaching of science in the schools of the country is appallingly inadequate both in the elementary and high school levels." As a result of this, Dr. Meister believes the United States is rapidly losing its leadership in the field of science to Russia and England. He went on to say that industry, by paying more than the schools can afford, has absorbed many of the good science teachers. This has resulted in the drafting of many English, history, and language teachers to teach science, a field with which they are aintosv entirely unfamiliar. Commenting on this, Dr. Hawk said, "Teaching of science in the state of Washington has never received the emphasis that it needs in the times which we live. However, in the teaching training program here at WWC we are putting added emphasis on science. Miss Leona Sundquist, of the science department, is known nationally for her work in the elementary field, and next year will see the establishment of a well equippd science laboratory .for the campus school junior high." more hunt-ing (Continued from Page Two) back.

XLV.;—No. 36 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, July; 11 -,1947; Annual Summer Conference Concludes To nunt'i inc.* Dr. Karakoram P. Jubbulpore, e m i n e n t philosopher of the # University of Afghanistan went on record this week as favoring the "flying saucer" mystery. At a special press conference in - Kabul he stated; "The people of the United States need such a mystery. It relieves the tension of their pursuit for money." He added, "However, there will.undoubtedly be those who will take advantage of the situation i^. for the purpose of monetary re-xtilrn." He paused with a significant wink and sipped his "Plying Saucer Special"—a rum-brandy- bitters drink, mixed and served in a saucer. In a relaxed moment he suggested that "undoubtedly it is a publicity stunt concocted by some bright-eyed huckster." Many people claim to have seen these flying saucers, which is not surprising, A lot of people have seen pink elephants, too. There are numerous sea serpents still in existence, a few witches, any number of moun- : tain monsters, and undoubtedly % some gremlins. The f l y i ng ?i. saucer idea as not necessarily new. The Orientals had flying carpets, whipping around in like manner several centuries ago. H. G.. Wells predicted the appearance of flying saucers a few years back when he wrote that men from Mars would invade with bill hunt State Elert^ Convene the earth in such gadgets. According to his prediction they would land near London, but wouldn't last long—the invaders would die off shortly after, being exposed to our diseases^' Enough about flying saucers. * * * Bringing the most advanced scientific learning to the support of his thesis, Lecomte du Nouy states in his latest book. "Human Destiny" t h a t m a n has now, to all intents and purposes, completed his biological evolution. He is just beginning his moral evolution. Dr. Nouy is rather pessimistic about the immediate future, but predicts that man will evolve to a state of mind in which instinctive fear and suspicion will be replaced by instinctive love and trust. There is only one thing wrong with the workability of this theory—it will take a few million years to become practi^ cal lt; _ . * * * Here's a bit of anonymous verse^ which might be interesting: little Miss Muffet decided to rough.it In a cabin quite old and medieval.

Cottey Jr. College Students-To Set Goals Teaching Classes As the summer quarter approaches the halfway mark, the administrative offices are busily engaged in making preparations for the large influx of new stdtieiits expected this fall. Early indications show that the 1947 freshmen class will be. one of the largest in WWC's history. m - Realizing the problems which beset many of those contemplating entering college, The Collegian asked President W. W. Haggard to make a few suggestions which may help them in solving their ^problems. His statement follows: "An unprecedented number of young people will become freshmen in our colleges and universities this autumn. One may well ask how many of these young people have clarified in their own thinking the purposes of going to college. I trust the number is larger than previous studies indicate because goals are energizers. The following are three suggestions worthy of consideration: All individuals going to college should be concerned with extending their general education begun in the secondary school. Some outcomes of an adequate general education are good health habits, ability to express one's self, and social insights. Appreciation of the great fields of knowledge is very important, too. "Another goal should be the achievement of an effective personality, which is the end result of heredity and all the individual's educational experiences, class room and extra-class. An effective personality is closely related to intellectual, social, and moral competence.- •_*-."-• "Lastly, professional or career training is an indispensable purpose of going to college. The individual graduating from college is expected to live a rich life, and at the same time to render a worthy service to mankind. Our society is always looking for young people who have a definite service to offer." Miss Carin Degermark, health director of Cottey Junior College of Nevada, Missouri, is one of the'visiting teachers" on the campus this-summer. Miss Degermark is instructing in the health and physical education workshop d u r i n g the eight-week session. Cottey Junior College for Women has a student body of 150 and is owned and maintained by P.E.O., a secret association whose aim is to further education for women. The association maintains a student loan fund of over one million dollars and issues numerous scholarships. One present outstanding scholarship student is Alene Langdori from Arlington. Miss Degermark is on summer leave from Cottey. She chose to spend her vacation in her native Northwest "just keeping cool." A native of Portland, Oregon, she says that she is thoroughly enjoying getting the light fresh air, the mourif tains, the water, and the beautiful campus. Miss Degermark had hoped to make a trip to Sweden this sum- (Continued on Page Three) Librarians Bark From Conflab Miss Miriam Snow, campus school librarian, and Mr. Herbert Hearsey, reference librarian, returned Sunday, from San Francisco where they spent the past week in attendance at the annual conference of the American Library Association. Among the highlights of the'Conference were the addressees given by Joel Hildebrand, professor of chemistry at the University of California, and Clarence Addison Dyk-stra, provost at UCLA. In addition, the librarians. attended numerous board and section meetings, and renewed professional friendships. • Presentation of the two highest awards in juvenile lUeratwre ; were made at the' conference..^ Carolyn; Sherwin Bailey's "Miss t;^p^cory;' won the Newberry Award," wnlle*:the Caldecott Award went to LfeonardT Weisgard for his illustrating of "The Little Island," -' ATTENTION VETERANS - Deadline^for_ your ,._G.L ihs\ir=. ance has been extended to January!, 1948.

"Humanity may appear now to be standing at a momentuous crossroads. . It is always standing at a crossroads, or rather, it is moving down a great: highway.

Professor Soward compared the "sense of uncertainty"; iri our present da^ Western civilization with the sense of progress which prevailed in other areas, notably the Victorian Age. „ / # Amotig^he factors which he listed as causing bur widespread "sense of uncertainty" were the fear of modern weapons, the devastation of - EuropeJ."the mother of Western civilization," and thclack QI trjijt e ^ r% v_ ; ingVbetween Russia a j i e l j h e ^ i u t e ^ ^ in^ACr gt; lt; '"world,.

Tomorrow will be spent in short hikes near Kulshan, and the Mt. Baker ascent begins at day break Sunday. Those who do not wish to climb to the top will find many short hikes near Kulshan cabin. A large group scaled Church mountain last week, according to Clyde McDonald, chairman of the Summer Recreation Committee. "Nearly all of the 46 who started the climb made it to the top; only a few fell by the wayside. Church mountain isn't just an afternoon stroll by any means. Of course, that makes i t a good conditioner for Mt Baler," said Mr. McDonald. "Everybody enjoyed the fine weather, the coffee and lunch. AH in all it was a thoroughly enjoyable day," he said in conclusion. Dr: W. W. Haggard, stressed the advantages of Western Washington College in regards to the broad recreation program. "This college is perfectly situated for outdoor summer activities.

IMhS Drivers Cautioned To Ga^Sbw^ Many years ago cars were limited to a certain speed for the simple., reason they couldn't go any faster. However, times v have changed^ and now the only limits to speed are the signs posted occasionally along the highways. The only inhibition on roaring dowtv.Beltirighamstreets.: at 60 miles an hour is that you would get a fewyears.jn the jug if you were caught. Now the jug is a:nice place to stay out of. Also, people like to live. Accidents do happen, even-to the most careful drivers, and there is no better place for accidents than High street, in front of the school. Children play there all day long. A zone marked 20 miles an hour means'exactly that, not 35 or even 30. A child darting out after a ball/ or running carelessly across the street could easily be killed. ..More than once this last year accidents' have come close to happening.: We appeal to you summer students to drive carefully along High street. Let our.children live. • ' • . . - • • - • SPECIAL EDITION OF WWCOLLEGIAN This; special edition of the WWCollegian, 3,500 strong, goes out to a select group of high school seniors in Whatcom; Skagit: Island, San Juan and Snohomish counties. We hope that through its pages our readers may gain a brief * insight into a few of the many activities and opportunities offered here at "The college on the hill by the sea." It is with considerable pride that we point to the forward strides made here at WWC. Recent legislation has made it possible for our college to grant not only the B. A. in education, but also in liberal arts. Furthermore, it is now possible to obtain the M. A. degree in education. Speech Department States Five Specific Sections By ROD BAIN For those students interestedin radio speech or dramatics, the WWC speech department, under Mr. Victor Hoppe, offers a wide range of practical experience. There are five distinct phases in the department. \ The first phase is strictly one for personal development in speech, and it is open to all students. The courses in this phase give the enrollee an opportunity to speak before small groups of students, expressing his or her ideas and thus gaining a chance to rid themselves of an inferiority complex which seems to plague most beginners in the speech classes. The second phase includes such training as interprative reading, script reading and further development of: the voice with emphasis on vocal expression. The third phase is the speech clinic. It is designed primarily to aid future teachers to cope with speech defects which may afflict their students. Radio speech is the fourth important phase The radio broadcasting- group go on the air every Wednesday afternoon at 5 p. m. They feature "The College Newsweek in Review,' a program produced, directed and carried out in lull by the members of the class. The college has its own broadcasting studio in the administrative building, and[through the kind cooperation of station K^pS, Bellingham, it has. given many satisfactory performances «An the :;;i»st.;;';:.

Witt To Move Office Soon "Effective Monday, July 14, all subsistence complaints by veterans who are students at WWC will be submitted at the Fine Arts Building, 316 E. Holly, instead of Room 43 in the main building," W. A. Reaper, chief of guidance center said today. "In the future, a training officer will be available in room 43, on Tuesdays and Thursdays only, from 8:00 a. m. to 12:00 noon to handle such problems as withdrawals, registrations and training programs," Reaper continued. Reaper went on to say that effective July 14, only the Veterans Administration a d v i s e m e n t and guidance section will be located in room 43. However, complete vocational guidance will continue to be given all veterans at that place. In'addition to the two days per week, a training officer will be available at the guidance center at the beginning and close of each quarter to aid all veterans. Albert Witt, who has been in charge of subsistence complaints, leave forms, and training will move his office to the Fine Arts Building. impse Finds Whether you sing; play- or compose, WWC's music department offers you opportunity toY participate in any musiwl activity you wish. Highlighting -the " f^1T: fbotbaU games was the WWCE band, under the able direction of Dr. Frank D*Andrea. Winter quarter; the band made a series of broadcasts on the WWC weekly radio program to the schools in the northwest counties of Washington. •'•:V-'^ lt;^,. - ;;]Qv:--,^" . A formal concert was presented by the band m the spring. In addition, an outdoor campus concert was given. As if one band were not.enough, WWCE boys started a pep band to play for the college dances. Music for mixers, dress-up and formal dances was, to a large extent furnished by the college pep band. Spring quarter the pep .band elosed their performances with their annual review, "JJp and Atom." For their services to the school the members of the pep band were given sweaters with the Pep band emblem on the front. Orchestra members at WWC completed their big year with-the commencement program in June. One of their outstanding features was the performance of a.series of symphonies in Bellingham, the WWCE orchestra affiliating with the Bellingham Civic Symphony orchestra. In these three community concerts both serious and light musical literature was included. Dr. D'Andrea directed the WWCE orchestra in all their programs.

Regular publications are the equal of any small college. Noteworthy are the school paper and year book—the Collegian and Klipsun—the Freshman "Bible," the Navigator, and the student^directory, the Profile. All these publications offer experience in writing, editing, layout and all the other processes that go to make up a publication. Credit is given for work on the Collegian and Klipsun. Students Edit Writer In addition, the English department offerst. several classes aimed at specific types of writing for which credit is given. The ultimate aim of those who like to put their ideas on paper is The Writer. This is a new publication, written, edited and published entirely by students, through the facilities of the English department. It is published monthly, and is limited in content only by the length of each contribution. Short stories, "short shorts,"' essays, book reviews, general commentary on life and times, poetry, hunior, satire, all have found a place in various issues. The only requirements are that material must be interesting and not too lengthy. The editing is done by a student Board of Editors. The only limitatiori^on membership on the board is one quarter's residence. During that period the student should show his ability by writing for one of the many publications or classes. Advice and opinion of frosh students is just as welcome as that of upper classmen. Not only does the Board of Editors review and publish, it also offers criticism on every story or article submitted, a valuable service to contributors. Copies of The Writer have been at a premium, for the general demand has been great. Further, the various issues have been used in composition classes and study units on the short story. Each issue of The Writer is reviewed for the Collegian, thus giving opportunity for critical studyjby a different student each month.- Also, a different faculty member, outside the English department, is asked to review each issue. These reviews have been of high value, for the faculty reviewers have proven themselves to be discerning and outspoken in their criticisms. Creative Writing A class which has been highly interesting is the creative writing class conducted by Dr. M; F. Cederstrom and Mr. James O'Brien. In the past, this class has met as a seminar one evening each; week? This time Was most convenient, for class members, several of whom were carrying this course in addition to their regular load. . Output has ranged from straight short stories to humor, tragedy, satire, and fantasy.; In the future, it is hoped^ that a second class in creative writing may be. offered which will continue with novelettes and novels. The only pre-requislte for this class would be completion of the present class. It is emphasized • t i i^ these ^ are held exclusively for the reading- and criticism of each stdry.

The other day. we were watching a Junior League twilight game . . . . boys of 14 and over. True to the old baseball superstition, they never threw a new ball directly to the pitcher Along about the fifth inning, with the score tied and a full count on t he batter, the catcher threw in a new ball to the third baseman who slipped off his glove and quickly rubbed the gloss off the ball before throwing it to the pitcher. The catcher impatiently hollered at the boy on third base to give the ball to the pitcher and let him do the rubbing. "Well for gosh sake," came the indignant replyi "Gaffhey does it all the time!"

If-you see one, stop it and inquire. You will undoubtedly get a glimpse of the rich athletic past of Bellingham Normal that; we modern youngsters of WWC are too inclined to overlook . . . T h e oldest athlete we have cornered is Chuck Erickspn, brother of Pinky. Chuck played basketball in the late twenties,, when our student lounge was t he "college gym". Chuck still holds the school javelin record. Other young old-timers are Russell Eyre and Ward Prigg, both outstanding track men of bygone years. You'd probably be rather surprised to know he% many of your own grade and high school teachers were big names around Bellingham at one time. In the City league the Veterans of Foreign Wars have a team entered that looks almost like the Viking line-up of last season. Tom Poe and Loren Wardrop in the field, Hal Partlow and Arnold Lahti a t the keystone combination, and Karnofski catching. The big stick of Hal Partlow is one of the chief reasons for the V.F.W. team being the most dangerous in the league. Lately Karnofski has been moving out to the mound for a little relief hurling and surprising no end of people. ". • • Bellingham has one of the finest summer recreation programs in the state, and it draws heavily on WWC students to make a success of the program. Len Lillibridge is a lifeguard at Whatcom Falls ptiel; Bob Simpson, Hal Loop, Jack Duranceau and Clarence KeplingRrsfarfesupervising various playgrounds around the city; and Ho^Anderson and Pinkey Erickson are running the Midget "\and Junior league baseball teams.

ProfessorSoward pointed to the United Nations and its subsidiary groups as our most encouraging note. He believes that in spite of the fact that. "Russia h a s n ' t seen fit to enter many of these groups" at least the great powers are meeting on a common ground. Furthermore, he contends that we are .movingi though slowly, toward the goal of world "government by attrition. At two o'clock yesterday afternoon, Dr. Benjamin delivered the second of his adv dresses, this time spealgK on the "Scientific and Teemical Services as related to his conference theme, "Educational Relationships - Among -Nations and Cultures. Two more addresses will be given by Dr. Benjamin, one at ten o-'clock this morning, and the final one at the noon, luncheon in Edens Hall. Over 200 persons from outside the college have attended the conference, among them are many principals and county superintendents who are meeting here this week. Added Emphasis On Remedial Ed. Using the basic philosophy that in order to teach a child to read we must work with the w h o l e child, Mrs. Bearnice Skeen, Remedial Education instructor, is c o n d u c t i n g a reading clinic as a part of that department's summer projects. Working with children chosen from the public schools and ^ the Campus school who are in particular need of individual help in the development of reading skills; Mrs. Skeen and the group of teachers who are working with her are using many of the various methods in teaching the skills.

Football, Basketball, Baseball and Track Major Sports at WWC By BILL JACKSON Opportunity, so they say, knocks but once. There is an exception to-that rule here at WWC, where" the rap of Dame Opportunity becomes audible not once, but mnay times during the course of a year's varied a n d . colorful sports program. The first loud thump echoing at the portals of every prospective ath-; letic warrior, is the noble, clarion call of football. Ushering the school year in, this gridiron pastime at — ' ' ~ ~" Western has all the trimmings and to be heard from i n the days ahead, fanfare any of the larger schools His teams use regulation baskets, a can boast of. It is coached by standard size basketball, play on the Charles Lappenbusch, an able and finest floors in the state, and have inspiring leader, who has carved himself a goodly niche in WWC's hall of fame, with his many top and near the top elevens. Perhaps the mere glory of the game, the tumultous thunders, ,p.f ovation you might receive should you rise to heights .of stardom, doesn't.^inspire you in the least to try for a place on the team. There are other reasons. That pretty little freshman girl you want so badly to date, you know, the one who can smile so demurely, whose lashes can curve downward in such shy reserve? You can win a place on the squad and her lovely freckled hand at one and the same time. Just get your rival for her favor out there on -*ihe gridiron, hit him hard at every available practice opportunity, and if you are sincere in purpose, the ' field will soon be clear in moft ways than one. , Dame Opportunity marches on, and once again pounds above the latchstring. This time we introduce that wily dribble game, known in more polite" circles as basketball. Head man of this game is Coach Bill McDonald. In his second year at Western, Bill is the kind of inspirational leader whose teams are bound o'clock. At present Lappy is looking for a pitching prospect and would_ welcome one with open arms. . Norm Nelson and his helpers have diligently been working, on . t h e new softball diamond in preparation for the coining games... The football league is at present short as to the number of teams and anyone wishing to enter will contact Coach Lappenbusch or Norm Nelson. Games will be played and practice held on Monday and Wednesday afternoons at. 4 o'clock. All men in summer school are eligible to check out PE equipment at the cage in the gym during school days. The schedule of the men working in the cage is posted on the bulletin board in the men's locker room. The Co-op has available the football schedules for fall. They are printed on address books and sell for ten cents. The schedule includes eight games, four home and four away. the prettiest coeds to cheer them on. No other college can of fer more.

BENJAMIN HEADS SUMMER CONFERENCE JalkinC Qt UOei . . with bob dickson ANOTHER summer has rolled around, and once again we extend a hearty welcome to all of you. It's good to have you back, and we hope that from pursuit of your studies you'll take some time out for fun. AN EXTENSIVE recreation program has been planned especially for you. So relax once in awhile. Participate in the hikes, the tours, the cruises, and when the summer is over and you return to your schools, you'll feel that you've had a restful and profitable vacation. SPEAKING of recreation, those of you interested in fresh water fishing should try your luck at Lake Whatcom or Samish. There have been some excellent catches of silvers and cutthroats taken at both places in the past few weeks. SALT WATER enthusiasts will find plenty of sport at Point Lawrence, Hale's Pass, and numei-ous other nearby places. IP YOU enjoy Sinclair Lewis, don't miss KINGSBLOOD ROYAL. It is leisure-time reading, and it should provoke many a lengthy discussion. PET PEEVES: Sunday papers printed on Wednesday and sold on Saturday night . . . Service station attendants who clean your windshield with an oily mixture which smears when you turn on the windshield wipers. SOMETIME when you are browsing through the library take a look at Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Here is one of his gems, "Men exist for the saJte of one another. Teach them then or bear with them." INCIDENTALLY, the next time you're in the periodical room reading the home town paper, take ten minutes off and look over a copy of The United Nations Bulletin. If the average reader would spend as much time reading this as he does the sports page, there would be a lot less frustrated gnashing of teeth, and a lot more careful study of the present world problems. Board Approves New Library Lighting Fixtures - Approval of florescent lighting-fixtures for ten of the tables in the main reading room of the library was granted at the Wednesday night meeting of the Board of Trustees. The fixtures, similar to the one which has been on trial use for the past few months, were recommended by John P. Jones, architect, and have proven to be highly satisfactory. In addition to the above, the board authorized the wiring of all the tables in the main reading room, and approved of cove lighting for the book shelves. • Paving of the parking lot south to the main building was assured, and the bids will be let in the near future. In another important move, the board received a petition, signed by more than 50 per cent of the property owners, to widen High street between Cedar and Oak streets. The petition asks that the street be wid- (Continued on Page Four) Noted Pianist Entertains Large, | lt;ucJer Elevated Appreciative Audience Here Dr. Merle S. Kuder will be promoted to director of student personnel in September, Dr.- W. W. Haggard disclosed recently. Pilling the vacancy as registrar, will be Mr. Donald Ferris, dean of Mount Vernon Junior College for the past four years. Mr. Ferris, a Phi Beta Kappa, is a graduate of the University of Washington. In addition, he has completed the course requirements for a doctrate degree and is studying this summer at Columbia University. As director of student personnel, Dr. Kuder's work will be closely related to the registrar but will be broader in scope. No Paper Next Week The WWCollegian will not be published next week! For the first time in several years, our printers. Cox Brothers, Printers, are taking a well earned vacation. The next issue of the Collegian will appear July 11. JAN CHERNIAVSKY With over two million miles traveling' distance to his credit, the world famed pianist Jan Cherniav-sky opened the summer quarter at WWCE with a piano solo program. Mr. Cherviavsky has been playing the piano for 47 years, ever since he was seven years old. This famous man, with his two brothers, was given the name of the "Globe Trotter," and together they were known as the Globe Trotting Trie, "I have lived in trains and boats for many years," Mr. Cherniavsky remarked, his halo of white hair clouded by the smoke from his- black pipe, "I have been to Australia ten different times, five times to India, China, and Java." Mr. Cherniavsky played h e re many years ago when the college consisted of just the main building. "The campus has grown up so very much. It is very different than the last time I was here. Now I am living in Vancouver, B. C, for my wife is a Canadian and my two children live there also. "My two brothers are separated now. One is in Australia and the other is in Paris. But for many years we played together." The program presented last (Tuesday, J u n e 24, was an "Organ Adagio" by Bach-Busoni, an organ "Prelude and Fugue in D Major" by Bach-Busoni, "Submerged Cathedral," and "Fireworks," by Debussy, and "Nocturne," "Valse" and "Scherzo" by Chopin. ^ Dateline . • June 28—Chuckanut Ridge Climb, 2 p.m. July 1—Assembly.

Hammer as director, the 8th Annual Summer Session Workshop opened Tuesday morning. The steering committee, consisting of representatives from the various groups, have planned an interesting program of discussions, trips, exhibits, and coffee hours. Seven problem areas have been selected, and from these the students pick the one in which they are especially interested. There are 83 enrolled for the workshop, and a breakdown of the problem areas, leaders, and number of students in each group follows: a. Guilding Learning Activities In Early Childhood. Miss Vivian -Johnson, Miss Evelyn Odom, and Miss Ruby McGinnes, leaders. (21) b. Resource Use Education. Mr. Knapman, leader. (5) , c. Improving Art Instruction. Mr. Dale Goss. leader. (16) d.

Registrar Lists Requirements For B- A.; 162 Hours Needed Note: For 1947-48, the system of numbering courses has been entirely revised. Numbers used below are those currently and therefore only temporarily in effect. 1. TOTAL CREDIT REQUIREMENT 192 quarter hours Of these, 64 must be upper division (100 or over) 2. LOWER DIVISION FIXED COURSE REQUIREMENTS: a. English 40, English Composition 5 hours b. English 41, Advanced Composition 3 hours c. Speech 1, Fundamentals of Speech 2 hours d. English, General Literature, three 3-hour courses 9 hours e. History 1 and 2, History of Civilization, 5 hours each, or ^ocial science (e.g., sociology, economics) 10 hours f. Science 1 and 2, Science and Civilization 10 hours g. Psychology 43, General Psychology 5 hours h. Physical Education 6 hours j . Art and Music 3 hours TOTAL REQUIREMENTS 53 hours Note: Students already enrolled in school, who have completed one or more years, will receive credit for any of these courses already taken. Considerable latitude in substituting will be allowed. 3. DIVISIONAL SPREAD: All courses are classified under three divisions of study: • a. The Social Sciences, such as history, political science, economics, psychology, etc. b. The Humanities, including English literature, music and art, foreign languages. c. Sciences, including mathematics. Students must present not less than 15 hours in each division. 4. FIELDS OF CONCENTRATION: These will be known as "majors" and "minors." Areas in which one may concentrate are as follows: English Biological Science Political Science Humanities Physical Science Sociology Recreation Mathematics Geography Arts Music Economics Psychology History Home Economics The departments involved will outline the requirements for the "major" and "minor" within these limitations: "Major": Minimum, 36 qtr. hrs. "Minor": Minimum, 18 qtr. hrs. Maximum, 64 qtr. hrs. Maximum, 36 qtr. hrs. Each candidate must present one "major" and one "minor". 5. SUPPORTING FIELDS: A department may require courses in other areas as supplementary to the "major", (e.g., 36 hours of psychology may have to be supported by certain specified courses in science and social science. A "major" in mathematics will undoubtedly require the support of courses in physics.) 6. FREE ELECTIVES: In order to insure the student considerable elective leeway, the maximum total requirement for a "major" and its supporting field shall not exceed 96 quarter hours. Note: With the exception of English Composition and physical education, the fixed courses requirements apply toward the divisional spread requirements. The specifications for "majors' and "minors" are expected to include fixed course requirements. It is to be understood that courses taken for divisional spread can apply on the "major" or "minor". Final decisions concerning each "major" and "minor" (in terms of specific courses and supporting fields) will not be made until mid-summer. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS POINT TO GIVE ANY STUDENT A COMPLETE CLEAR-CUT PICTURE OF HIS STATUS RELATIVE TO THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREES REQUIREMENTS, ANY MORE THAN A CHECK AGAINST THE ABOVE SPECIFICATIONS. I t is possible, however, for each student to determine his approximate status in respect to fixed course requirements and divisional spread. The Registrar's office will assist, insofar as time and personnel permit. When final decisions are made and thorough evaluations possible, students may be sure that the College will be reasonable in its interpretations and will do everything possible to enable students to fit into the programs wtihout penalty or loss of credit. M. S. KUDER, Registrar. Lecture Hall Ready Soon If the veterans on the campus think the new lecture hall (located next to the lounge) reminds them of days gone by, they will have a real surprise coming to them when they step inside. To be sure, the newly acquired building once wore the olive drab of Uncle Sam (it served with distic-tion at Paine Field); however, those days are over, and from now on it will serve as a lecture hall here at WWC. Work on adjusting the hall to civilian life has been progressing rapidly, and it is expected to be ready for use next week; Florescent lighting, and an easy-on-the-eyes cream and buff color scheme have been used throughout; while the floors are covered with a colorful endurable tile. All joking aside, the new lecture hall is a valuable and timely addition to our rapidly expanding college. Names Make News For Registrar Names make news and according to the Registrar's office names are still piling up confusion at WWCE. Already listed are 12 Johnsons. Johnson must be the most popular name in the United States, judging by the quantity this college raked in this summer. The places they come from are far and numerous. The seven Andersons listed are just as confusing. They hail from Pennsylvania to British Columbia as birth places. Then there are the Smiths. So far, five have been registered. . WWCE now has one Smith whose birth place is Saskatchewan, Canada, another from Wyoming, one from Utah, and two from Washington, t, This summer found the Clarks in a larger number than even the Smiths. There are six Clarks in one form or another wandering the halls. Bringing up the rear are the four Browns and the three Jones'. Whites seem to be missing from the list. Students in WWCE are in for surprises. There is no telling what you may see in the college on the hill. There, is everything from a Fox to a Lord running the summer gauntlet. Faculty Relaxes Enjoying a well-earned rest from class rooms are 14 members of the WWCE faculty. They are Edward Arntzen, Miss May Lovegren Bett-man, Mrs. Ruth Burnet, and San-ford Carver. Others are Miss Irene Eliott, Dr. Arthur Hicks, Thomas Hunt, Miss Florence . Kirkpatrick, Miss Synva Nicol, and Miss Ruth Piatt. Still others are Miss Hazel Plym-ton, Miss Lorraine Powers, Bernard Regier, Miss Elsie Wendling, and James O'Brien. Four faculty members have just returned from vacations. The college welcomes back Leslie Hunt, Miss Vivian Johnson, Charles Rice, and Dr. Albert Van Aver. FOR SPRING... Begin With your Hair HAIR STYLING HAIR CUTTING PERMANENTS DARLENE'S BEAUTY SALON Near the College Phone 5707 700 Myrtle Veterans Urged To gftfafal Reinstate N. S. L I . Although many veterans are reinstating their National Service Life Insurance, some are inadvertently allowing their G gt;. I. policies to lapse for a second time. To help ex-servicemen and women avoid such a second lapse, certain procedures pertaining to reinstatement were outlined today by W. A. Reaper, chief of Guidance Center. Reaper explained that a veteran reinstating his G. I. insurance may think mistakenly that his next payment is not due for a full month, whereas actually the premium may be due within a week or two, or even a day after his reinstatement payments are in the mail. This is for two reasons, Reaper pointed out. First, the veteran normally is covered the moment his reinstatement application, with accompanying comparative health statement and two monthly premium payments, is in the mail and postmarked; and second, the VA cannot change the original day of the month on which the policy was effective. For example, Reaper cited the case of a veteran who has lapsed a policy effective the first day of the month, and he sends in a* reinstatement application on the 15th. His payment goes to pay for the premium month beginning the first of the month. But half of the month is gone, and in fifteen days another premium will be due. In same cases, Reaper said, the premium might be due within one or two days. The veteran will be protected by the grace period if he makes his premium payment within 31 days, Reaper pointed out, but if he counts on his grace period to make his second payment a n d mistakenly thinks he has 30 days before his next premium is due and therefore 61 days before the end of the grace period he will lapse a second time. Reaper advises any veteran not sure of the day of the month his policy is effective to make all subsequent premium payments within every 30 days. Some veterans, he said, may even want to make a third payment in addition to the required two when reinstating to make sure their G. I. insurance will . not lapse a second time.

Thus spoke the June 16 issue of Life in an article on the Princeton graduates of 1932. One wonders how many more Americans enjoyed the war. How about the wives, mothers and families of our 300,000 war dead? Do you suppose they enjoyed it. Or the thousands of wounded and disabled veterans, did they enjoy it? How many people in England, Belgium, Holland, France, Poland, Norway, Russia, China, and the other war ravaged countries would say that they enjoyed the war? And maybe we should ask the residents of Coventry, Rotterdam, Warsaw, Lidice and Hiroshima just how much they enjoyed the war. Is it necessary for everyone to lose a leg, a family, a home, a city, or a country before they can realize the true horrors of war? Supposedly these Princeton men are, at the least, "average," intelligent, reasoning human beings; and yet they really enjoyed the war, then our educational as well as our social system must be at fault. We can't preach democracy out of one side of our mouth, and love of war out of the other. Let us hope that thees Princeton graduates are representative of a very small minority. It wasn't a Princeton man, but the German militarist Moltke who said, "In war, the noblest virtues flourish that otherwise w o u ld slumber and decay. The experience of war stays with a man, and steels him all his life." yhrft/p'^ixm-tf/): I Expert Hosiery Repairs and French Reweaving BURNS, TEARS, MOTH HOLES INVISIBLY REWOVEN See Maryon Bornhart AT BERNA-LEE SHOP 1308 Commercial For Fine Cosmetics That Are Hypo - Allergic "MARCELLE" Do Not Cause Skin Irritations, Allergies or Hay Fever.

Coach McDonald Heads Hike; Weather Man Promises Sun "All those who plan to make the Mt. Baker climb should take the previous conditioning hikes, and be in good physical condition." stated Coach Clyde McDonald, chairman of the Summer Recreation Committee. "No unusual obstacles are expected, but mastery of Mt. Baker demands J stamina and conditioning, plus good equipment," McDonald added. "The school has equipment for rent or loan, but personal articles, such as sun-glasses, calked boots and other items of clothing must be furnished by each individual," he concluded. Tomorrow's hkie will begin at 2 p. m. in front of the P. E. building. It is hoped that enough people will bring cars to furnish transportation for all to Larrabee State Park, where the actual ascent begins. Those who plan to make the hike should have sun glasses (unless it is raining) caulked boots and other appropriate clothing, and a canteen of water or a few oranges. The hike will last until evening, so lunch may be in order. The first event in the summer calendar has several advantages. It is a short climb with a magnificent view to reward the hiker, and it is a must, from the standpoint of conditioning, for later hikes. The Recreation Committee directs your attention to the bulletin boards for details of the program. Faculty members of the committee include Miss Margaret Aitken, Miss Mildred Herrick, Clarence Schuske, Miss' Elizabeth Hopper, Fred Knapman, Miss Marjorie Muffly, Dr. Keith Murray, Declan Barron, Miss Ruth Weythman, Herbert Hearsey, Miss Anna Ullin, and Clyde McDonald, chairman. Any of these members of the committee will furnish information upon request. The first few events are as follows: June 28, Chuckanut Ridge climb; July 4, Church Mountain climb; also on July 4, a picnic at Lakewood; July 5, San Juan Island cruise; July 10, Salmon Bake at ^Larrabee State Park; July 11 to July 14, hike to Kulshan; Cabin and Mt. Baker climb. Reservations may be made for any of these activities in Mr. McDonald's "Lappy" Signs Up Softball Players .
