Show more1940_0628 ---------- WWCollegian - 1940 June 28 - Page 1 ---------- Mountain Hike Tomorrow Vancouver Bus Trip Also On Schedule Thirty-six To Make Trip Two paths to adventure and beauty await the choice of WWC recreation fans tomorrow. For those who seek beauty and pleasure in height, there will be a trek up Church mountain, and for those who enjoy shopping and sight-seeing, there will be a bus trip to Vancouver, B. Emphasis is placed «n the bus trip to Vancouver because tomorrow is the last Saturday before the ruling goes into effect that a certificate of citizenship will be necessary to get back into the United States. Leaving the Bellingham bus depot at 8:30 a. m., the bus will arrive at the Vancouver station at 10:30. Suggested points of interest within walking distance, such as Chinatown, linen shops, and places to eat, will be provided. All sightseeing "buses in "Vancouver"''leave' from the depot. Because there will be room for only thirty-six people, students were urged to sign the bulletin board early this week. Cost is $1.50 for round trip. But for those who are planning to climb to Kulshan cabin over the Fourth of July, the Church mountain trek is a requirement. The trail starts slightly above Glacier and goes onward and upward along a quiet forest path, and through acres of colorful flowers in an alpine meadow until one sits on top of the world with Mount Baker almost in his lap, according to Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation director. The party will meet on the campus in front of Edens hall at 7:00 a. m. tomorrow morning. A trail lunch and a cup are required, plus stout walking shoes, sun glasses, and a light extra sweater. The deadline for signatures on the bulletin board is 2:00 o'clock this afternoon. Cost of the trip is 75 cents.

A worthwhile effort of President Haggard has been realized in bringing this meeting to WWC. We suggest you make this effort worth your while by attending as many of the sessions as possible. It will be your best chance to get acquainted with the prominent educators of the Northwest. • AS A RESULT OF LEGISLATION recently passed, teachers planning to teach in this state in the fall are required to take a Mantoux test for tuberculosis. This action has been praiseworthy and somewhot startling in its outcome. Mantoux tests should not only be limited to teachers in the field but required of students before they enter the training school. Unfortunate, indeed, it would be for a student who had successfully passed four years of college life in preparation for a teaching profession, only to find that he was a carrier of active tuberculosis germs. , Of course, treatment can be had, but it would be much better to find out this information at an earlier time during one's college career. To gather this knowledge at a time when one is about to embark upon a professional career is rather a severe blow. • AFTER A WEEK OF APPREHENSION as to whether the Collegian made itself'clear on its new policy of a more professional basis, we again extend our invitation to teachers and students to write for us about their problems and philosophies. What teaching problems did you solve during the last year? What ones didnt you solve and would like help on? Did you read any good books on teacher aids? What were some of the interesting things about your curriculum? Did your financial set-up hinder your teaching of progressive education? How did you find teacher and public relations in your community? Have you any suggestions to pass along to new teacfiers entering the field? Tell us about them, won't you? • MAY WE ADD OUR CONGRATULATIONS to those already received by the Bellingham Herald for their last Sunday's edition emblematic of "Fifty Years of Progress.' It is a noteworthy achievement showing the forward movement of the cities of Northwest Washington during the last half century. Also outstanding was the history of Western Washington college, written by Eric Phillips, a Collegian staff writer during the last year. • AFTER A YEAR OF CAMPAIGNING back in 1937 to have the sign opposite the College Inn changed from Normal Drive to College Drive, we find, now three years later, that the city fathers have agreed to compromise with the Collegian. The sign now reads: Sehome Hill—Park! 'OurTown' Rocks New York Two seasons ago New York theater audiences went to jsee a show without scenery or properties and kept that show going for a year on Broadway. That production was "Our Town,' which is to be presented by the WWC division of drama for its summer quarter offering, July 11 and 12. In a city of theaters famed for elaborate production standards, this was an unusual event. The thing that held them was the simplicity and beauty of the story itself. Two young people talked to each other from their windows across the alley while the village choir rehearsed down the street and Dr. Gibbs, father of George, read the evening paper downstairs. Three different scenes at the same time would have been practically impos- AMtMCAN / / sible on a stage realistically set with real scenery and furnishings. This novel effect was achieved by having George and Emily on top of step-ladders with Dr. Gibbs at a table to the right of the stage and the choir in the orchestra pit. A daring, expressionistic departure from realism is shown in the third act when Emily, departing from this life in an untimely way, is laid to rest with her family. In the cemetery the dead of the little village sit passively and serenely in rows of chairs while the funeral procession wends its way into the cemetery. There is no attempt at tombstones or weeping willows, yet the audience feels the austerity and simplicity of death and life in rural America of 1904. Technique Classes Learn About Modern Curricula By Lela 'Kaufman Two groups of persons with teaching experience, the T. T. 192 class in curriculum construction in the elementary school and, T. T. 173 class in curriculum construction In the junior high school are working to learn some of the "whys" and hows" of modern curricula. The elementary group of 24 members with Miss Marjorie Dawson formulated certain definite understandings they hoped to attain, then divided into ..committees to work upon these topics. With a few thought - provoking questions raised by Miss Dawson, the class carries on enthusiastic discussion for part of the two-hour daily period. The remaining time is devoted to research work to see what is being done elsewhere. Nine members comprise the junior high group who meet with Miss Elsie Wendllng in her office. Individual conferences, group discussions, reading, studying, and writing fill the two-hour period. Immediate access is thus secured to a large selection of books containing needed material. Each person works with his own particular problem and situation in mind. In both groups a brief historical background is furnished along with considerable study of modern curricula through the United States, such as the Winnetka movement. Some of the educators' catchwords —activity movement, progressive education, integration — are being invested with meaning. Emphasis is placed upon fitting the school to the child rather than the reverse. In short, the aim of both of these advanced classes is not to make a curriculum for some definite setting but to give a clearer idea of all curricular construction. HAGGARD SPEAKS TO SEDRO ROTARIANS With Dr. W. W. Haggard as their main speaker, .the Sedro-Woolley Rotarians entertained with an informal "ladies night" dinner in the city hall last night. Incoming Rotary club presidents and their wives from* Bellingham, Mount Vernon, Anacortes, Oak Harbor and Everett were present. l Newscasters Picked For Summer The Collegian radio studio was the scene of Intense activity last Thursday as some twenty-three students tried their hand at radio announcing. Students read script for over an hour in room 311 while Instructor Victor H. Hoppe and graduate student Leonard Newquist judged in the control room. The winners: Russell Jackson, Francelia Smith, Art Clark, and Shirlee Cratsenberg. Alternates chosen were Jackie Hillis arid Beverly Walker. Victors took the air Thursday evening for the first newscast of the summer season. The permanent rewrite staff was also announced this week. Members are: Irene fyhn, Reda Eaton, Delayne Walton, Shirlee Cratsenberg, Betty Solibakke, Francelia Smith, and Wayne Kotula. The rewrite staff takes the stories off the galleys of the Collegian early Thursday morning and threshes them into shape for the rehearsal at 4:00 o'clock that afternoon. Broadcasts are under the direction of Leonard Newquist and Bill Tiffany, with Dr. Jack Cotton of the speech department and Mrs. Ruth Burnet as faculty advisers. WHITHER TOMORROW By Lorain Montgomery The quotation, "As a man thinketh so is he," is very old. Yet it is one that is still good and usable. If we .want to change a man we begin by working on his thought processes, because that is the thing that precedes the act of a man. That is the foundation for the truth of the quotation. Have you ever heard of any one doing something without thinking? I have. But that is because the thought processes for that particular act were built long, long ago. And did you ever try to change an act that is done without thinking? Where did you begin? You do not go about it in a superficial manner; you go back to the foundation where the act has its roots in the being—to the thought processes. We attempt to discover the original cause of an undesirable thoughtless actact habit, and sometimes we discover a cause that is completely alien to the act itself. The cause may be some unsatisfied desire that finds satisfaction through unusual channels. By satisfying the cause we may in time be able to substitute a desirable for an undesirable act and the habit is said to be broken. Frequently a habit remains long after the original cause has ceased to exist. •• The easiest time to work with a habit is when it is the shortest distance removed from its cause. That is usually in childhood when the thought processes are being built in when the character of the individual is being formed. When then is the most important period of a man's life? It is clear that the thoughts of the past exert an influence on the thought processes of the future. The child is truly "father of the man" and childhood is the most important period. Those who govern and direct this period of growth are "shaping the course of the future man." Consequently, the thoughts of tomorrow's world will be largely determined by the teacher of today, Merrill Likes Children By Lela Kaufman With cheeping Bantie chicks as a background, Miss Anne F. Merrill, kindergarten instructor for the summer, • talked enthusiastically about her avocation. "I'm afraid it's terribly trite to say that my hobby is children, but that's what it is," the blue-eyed quiet-voiced young woman said. "I like to ride horseback. Before I became so busy, that was a hobby but it is nearly impossible to ride in a large city," she stated. Every summer this westem-bred instructor—she is a native of Salt Lake City and a graduate of Stanford—forsakes Pittsburgh where she teaches in the Falk demonstration school to drive to the Pacific coast. "I have driven over most of California, and I love to come up here in the Pacific Northwest,' she declared. "I always spend my summers with my mother. Now we are staying in Dr. Spearin's house which has a lovely view and rose garden." She has vacationed two'years in Seattle and two enjoyable summers in Victoria, which she considers the ideal vacation spot.

That's just what happened last Monday night when a group of our recreationalists were about to spend an evening of singing, salmon, and sunset at The Rocks, a popular campfire site near South Bel-lihgh'am. The aforementioned Mr. S. Lion seems to have lost all sense of direction and planted himself on the sand. What we're getting at is . . . frankly, comrades, the stench was awful. . . . But that didn't stop proceedings . . . no, siree!! Dr. Bond picked up his salmon, seaweed and all and carted it out to the college property at Lakewood where everyone feasted and sniffed sweet sniffs once more. • . Any of you who can spare a few minutes of your time would find it well worth your while to drop in at the recreational headquarters in the Dean of Mens office and chat with genial Chet Ullin. Chet is assisting Miss Weythman with the college recreational activities this summer^ Many of you probably already know of him as a good skier, song leader, and former Viking football luminary, but the accomplishment upon which he prides himself the most is that of being a guide. Chet has not only led numerous hiking parties up Mt. Baker, but also is well acquainted with the trails of the Olympic peninsula. His tales are filled with exciting adventure and what's more they're true . . . I hope. He is a walking Chamber of Commerce for our great Northwest and We should be proud to say that "he is one of us." Hither, thither, and yon . . . We understand through the grapevine that Russ Eyer is planning to come back to school one of these years and win back his pole vault crown. . . . That's swell,- Russ . . . and if there are any more cindersmiths around like you bring 'em around because we can SURE use ' e m . . . . Russ also is co-holder of the conference broad jump record. . . . They say that Captain Mike Baker has the edge in the coming Intramural race with such softball experts as Hurley Boggess, Joe Moses, and Bob Smith in his lineup. . . . We look for Rodland's outfit to be right up there. . . . He's got Steve Turk, Clint McBeath, and Chuck Erickson.. . . Highlight of next week's sports program is the annual softball game with the U. of W. . . . The game is to be played in Seattle, Monday afternoon. . . . The Huskies come here for a return game later on. . . . Joe Medwick or no Joe Medwick, we'll string along with Lippy Leo's Brooklyn Dodgers. . . . They seem to have revived the lost art of "the old college try" . . . Don't say we didn't tell you. . . . So long . . . '' Mountaineers Enjoy Chuckanut Climb With Chet Ullin and Miss Lillian George setting the pace, approximately 106 avid mountaineers from WWC reached the top of Chuckanut ridge last Saturday. Leaving at 3:15 from the PE building, the party was at the top by 6:00 p. m., where they built a fire, prepared coffee, and ate their lunches, For dessert, they had a beautiful sunset, almost made to order, according to those who saw it. One group departed shortly after lunch, led down by Miss George. After sundown, the campfire was heaped high and set ablaze, and over ninety voices, led by Chet Ullin, were joined in singing new songs and having fun in general. Feature of the evening was the vocal efforts of three dogs, Patsy, Dinny, and Penny, inspired by Ullin's attempt to get an echo. Descent down the mountain was made by flashlight... and buglight, with a few brave souls sitting down and sliding on the steepest parts of the trail. Many photographs were taken—Mount Baker was especially clear—and the echo seems to be that the hike was a rousing success.

That both basketball and baseball will be played this summer in intramural sports was the decision made at a meeting of the sports enthusiasts of the college last Monday in the PE building. "* Softball games will be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:30 p. m. and basketball will be played on Mondays and Wednesdays at the same time. Doublehead-ers will be r un in both sports. Golf enthusiasts who have already entered their names as likely prospects for this summer's golf team are Clint McBeath, Bob Smith, Hardy, Tucker, and Erickson. The latter three were members of this year's WINKO champs. Anyone else interested in playing should see Sam Carver as soon as possible. Teams entered in basketball are Jim Bever's Midgets, Lapinski's Joe- Joes, Methany's Red Heads, Smith's GiantSy and Joe Moses' Moochers. Teams entered in softball are Mike Baker's Arabians, Rodland's Eskimos, Nurmi's Finns, and Weber's Turks. These teams are not . final and anyone wishing to play may see one of the captains and add his name to that team. WWC SOFTBALLERS MEET UNIVERSITY MONDAY Ancient summer rivals will square it off again, when a picked all-star WWC softball team meets the University of Washington Monday afternoon at Seattle. A return game will be held on t he home lot Friday, July 12. The WWC team will be picked from men signed for intramural games. Eleven men are expected to make the trip. No basketball schedule between the two schools has been arranged as yet. The court contests will probably be played during the second term. Enjoy the Summer.

Three things will be featured during the trip—good food, interesting short trips from Kulshan cabin, and t h e summit t r ip lead by C. Appleton (Happy) Fisher. Highlighting the trek will be the excellent photographic opportunities, and t h e acres of alpine flowers now a t the height of their beauty. Summer skis will be taken by some students, for three days of fine skiing. Wednesday, July 3, t h e work crew will hike in to the cabin to cut wood and prepare the place for the group. Thursday, July 4, the main party will leave the P. E. building at 7:00 a. m. in private cars, individuals bringing their own trail lunch for that day. They will reach the cabin Thursday evening. A pack train, led by Mr. Baker, an experienced packer from Colorado, will bring in food and personal dunnage. Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation leader, counsels hikers to limit their amount of dunnage, since each person will have to carry his own dunnage out. There are blankets and accomodations for fifty people at the cabin. Fisher Guides : The party will climb up to the back of Black Buttes on Friday, under Fisher's guidance, which will give them practice in snow work in .both climbing up and sliding down, and will give Fisher an opportunity to study snow conditions on the mountain. Saturday morning, those making the summit climb will- breakfast early and leave the cabin by daylight, led by Fisher and assisted by Chet Ullin. Organized hikes to the glacier or through the meadows will be taken by those remaining at the cabin. A whopping breakfast will be served Sunday morning, with the whole party leaving the cabin about 11:00; for the return trip home. Haggard Signs First person to make an enthusiastic reservation for this trip was Dr. W. W. Haggard, who signed up gt; with Miss Weythman last May. Other faculty members who will be present include Miss Elizabeth Hopper, Miss Ruth Melendy, Miss Virginia Hawke, Herbert Ruckmick, Lyle Brewer, and Miss Weythman. Cost of t h e t r ip is $5.00. People who enjoy the colorful out-of-doors in its highest beauty, campfire companionship, and good hiking are urged to' sign up.

In this column I am going to attempt to bring out Hie most important facts and trends. Many of these observations and opinions are my own, so take them for what you think they are worth. This week has seen the passing from the scene of two of the most infamous men in history. These men are Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini. A d o l p h Hitler, der Fuehrer, came to power in 1933 as Chancellor of Germany. In the following years he gradually strengthened his power until he plunged the world into a war of catastrophic magnitude in 1939. In 1939, 1940, and 1941, he overran all of Europe execept the valiant little island of Great Britain and the sprawling Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. In the summer of 1941, Hitler made the mistake that led to the downfall of the German Reich. The mistake of invading the U. S. S. R. From that time on his days were numbered. Gradually the tide was reversed until now the G.l/s have joined the Russians in several places along the Elbe, and Adolf Hitler is reported to have been killed fighting in Berlin. This is according to the Hamburg radio. Possibly the reported death of Hitler is to mask his escape while the German High Command hopes that the successor to Hitler, Admiral Karl Doenitz, will be able to get easier terms of peace from the Allies by trying to show that the Nazis have been removed. I do not think this will work. • - Also gone from the scene of international conflict is the pathetic figure of Benito Mussolini, who was shot to death along with his mistress and seventeen other high ranking Fascists. II Duce came to power much earlier than der Fuehrer, 1922 to be exact. At the head of several hundred ragged Black Shirts, Benito marched on Rome and was "openly welcomed by the starving, destitute Italians, who would accept anything that would give them food and jobs. . . For many years Mussolini rode the waves of glory, until he joined his partner in crime, Adolph Hitler, in the war. From that.time on Italy was on the way down until today his dream of Mare Nostrum has been destroyed, the empire is gone, Italy is completely occupied and the once great dictator is dead. Let this be a lesson to democracy in the future, to clean out "sore spots before they start to fester. Turning from death and destruction we look to San Francis- (Continued on Page Three) Spring Fever Strikes Campus; Daydreams Reign Supreme With spring blooming out in its entirety these past few days, familiar sites can be thoroughly enjoyed from the now-deserted libe.

Kuder Appointed Dr. Merle F. Kuder, WWC registrar, author of "Planning Your Education" was recently appointed to the steering committee of the Western Washington caravan, to publish a manual of information to be distributed to prospective college students in Western Washington and Oregon colleges and universities. Gardiner Wins Top AWS Position Pat Gardiner, sophomore, was elected to lead AWS for 1945-46 in the regular student assembly last Friday. Pat has been active in talent shows, belongs to Valkyrie, Board of Control, has acted this year as AWS social chairman and has been a Prom Princess for two years. O t h e r administrative officers elected were Joan Haggard, soph, as vice-president; Z e l m a Blekkink, frosh, as secretary; and Martha Monoghan, f r o s h , as treasurer. These coeds will take office next fall quarter. Campus Day Celebration Set; Norsemen's Beards Growing By CATHERINE ANDERSON A flashy stocking dance, featuring the Hard Time theme of Campus Day, will top off the festivities of this year's school skipping. The dance will begin at eight o'clock, and will include presentation of prizes for the best skits, the best beards, and the flashiest, loudest pair of socks on the floor. The~Hard Time theme will be followed at the dance, and signs and deco^ rations will bring out this point. Times will be so tough that refreshments will be cokes and cokes only. However, the prizes will be substantial and well-deserved- Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones, co-chairmen of Campus Day, have stated that absolutely no bobby pins, hair pins, ribbons, clips, rubber bands, or toasters shall be worn in the girls' hair the day before Campus Day. This point is emphasized in every announcement. Absolutely nothing shall J»e worn in the hair. For the rest of their costume, students are advised to dress in their oldest and saddest outfits, and men are to wear their hair Ish-Ka-bibble style, and beards of all lengths, colors, and descriptions will also be worn. Students may invite guests to the Campus Day dance, but there must be one college student per couple. Prizes will be given at intermission, and the dance will end at 10:30 or 11- And as for those socks! Polka' dots, loud stripes, circles, bows on. them, plaids, and various patterns will be worn, and according to dance chairman Herb Witt, "the louder the better." Awards will be given to both men and women for the most eye-filling stockings. Can you borrow a pair of Pa's? Convention Chooses Prexy Candidates Shomshak, Dahlgren Elaine Dahlgren and June Shomshak were chosen by the nominating convention last Tuesday as candidates for Associated Student Body President. The list of nominees before the convention included Bob DePastel and Beverly McNally. Running for vice-president are Beverly McNally and Margaret Rut-ledge. Elaine Dahlgren is a sophomore from Mount Vernon. One of this years' Prom Princesses, Elaine is a member of Alkisiah, ACE, and a Valkyrie girl. June Shomshak is a junior from Sedro-Woolley, chairman of War Activities, Blue Triangle Cabinet member, Vice-President of Vanadis Bragi and a member of Valkyrie. Those elected to run for four quarter man or woman were Marilyn Booras and Gene Sivertson; three quarter woman, Nell Kosola, Virginia Pendleton; and three-quarter man or woman, Joan Haggard, Bob DePastel. Elections will be held Wednesday, May 16. Year's Events Now Printed Pictures and copy are now in for the Newsletter, "which will be mailed to all former students now in the service. The . Newsletter, published by the Collegian staff, is financed jointly by Valkyrie, Collegian, Klip-sun and money which was donated by students at the Publications Prom. The single sheet, similar to last years', will be written like a letter, with pictures to illustrate certain points. Topics will include the year's recreation and activities including the Prom, Winter Show, and sports. Commencement Week Plans Include Many Social and Serious Events Commencement week plans at WWC, June 6 to Friday, June 8, are being made by a committee headed by Miss Piatt of the Science department. ALUMNI BANQUET Saturday, June 2, at 6 p. m., the first time since June 6, 1942, the graduating class will be guests of the school at an alumni banquet in Edens Hall. BACCALAUREATE SERVICE AND PRESDDENT'S TEA Mr. Nils Bosen and his choir of girls' voices will sing at the Baccalaureate service to be held in the auditorium of WWC, Sunday, June 3, at 4 p. m. In honor of the speaker, the Rev. Mr. E. D. Braden, D. D., pastor Ryersoh.United Church, Vancouver, B. C, the faculty and graduating class and their families will be served tea in the home of President Haggard at 5 p. m. CLASS DAY EXERCISES The program, of Class Day, Tuesday, June 5, at 11 a. m., is being planned by a committee headed by Dr. Hicks of the English department of WWC. The cup which was presented to Ann Easterbrooks by the Scholarship Society for being the most outstanding student in the freshman class, 1944, will be presented by her to the one adjudged the most outstanding freshman of 1945. RECEPTION A reception for the graduating class and their families will be held in the Blue Room of Edens Hall, Thursday, June, at 8:30 p. m. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES George Herbert Smith, President, Willamette University, Salem, Oregon, will speak at Commencement exercises, in the auditorium of WWC, Friday, June 8, at 10 a. in. Following the example of last year the graduates will march over the knoll instead of around it as was the custom prior to 1944. Music for, the occasion will be furnished by an orchestra which is being organized by Mr. Donald Bushell of the music department of WWC. Twenty Seniors Visit Campus Twenty seniors from Bremerton High School, accompanied by Miss Edna Frasier, ' graduate of WWC, will be on the campus May 7 and-6. The visit is the culmination of a year's co-operative study . between the ' college and the Bremerton schools, which is attempting a guidance program to interest more highi school students in the teaching profession. The idea was developed by Don Patterson, assistant superintendent of schools at Bremerton, also . a WWC graduate. Mrs. Waneta Catey and Miss Sylva Nicol of the Department of Student Teaching, have met with these students in Bremerton on different occasions. They are all seniors who have served, at various times, as substitute teachers in class rooms under supervision. The schedule for the two-day visit to the campus was planned by Dr. Paul Grim and Miss Lorraine Powers. The group will arrive shortly after noon Monday, and AWS will be hostess Monday afternoon; a tea and tour of the campus buildings is planned, followed by a dinner at Edens Hall and swimming and recreation hour in the gym. A social hour at Edens Hall will finish the day. Tuesday will be spent entirely in the Campus Schools, visiting the buildings and observing classes. The visit will end after a lunch at Edens Hall. Van Aver Writes Albert Van Aver, of the English department, has just received word from the editor of Educational Administration and supervision that . his article, "The Function of Literature After the War" has been accepted for publication and will appear in an early issue. This article is a sequel to an earlier article written by Mr. Van Aver, called "The Study of Literature During the War," originally delivered as a radio address on this campus. ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 May 4 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, Ma/ 4, 1945 ESTABLISHED 1899 Published Every Friday, Except During . the month of September, by the Associated Students.

RUTH BURNET Pub. Adviser Spring Hits WWC Campus; Students Relax and Burn O^iiciiali With the unconditional surrender of German troops in Italy, the European battle comes closer to the finish line. Even as I write this copy the end steadily approaches. The news these past days has been the best we have heard since the war began, but the time is still distant when our celebration can be complete. WATCH THE BEARDS GO BY Now that the beards are growing, the ration points are collected and the skits are being rehearsed, we are all anxiously awaiting the traditional Campus Day. With a prayer for sunshine the student body of WWC is planning its ensembles for next Tuesday. Let's all give our full support to the committees who are working hard to make Campus Day a big success. ELECTION TIME We have the most important election of the year coming up very soon. It is up to us to choose the very best leaders to guide us through 1945-46. Our student body president is the chosen representative of the students of WWC. In order to elect the one who will best fill the position it is the responsibility of every student to vote in the election to be held May 16. Don't forget that date. And don't underestimate the desirability of getting good people to fill the other vacant offices which are being filled this spring. For the girls, the WRA election is coming up soon and for the men, the Norsemen election is a coming attraction. In every election take a little time to think about the nominees and then make sure you cast your ballot. During the past several years too many people have carelessly ignored the polls, yet if this privilege were taken from them they would certainly put up a few loud protests. We're fighting to keep what we have, so show that you want to keep your democracy. YOU MAKE IT We Print The News, You Make It. That has always been and still is the motto of the WWCol-legian. Despite that fact and despite the fact that newspapers have always had as their chief objective the printing of news material, complaints still come rolling in'about the source of our news. Our staff members have, often overheard a group of students criticizing the sheet because of too much faculty news and too little students news. But our ques- Mosher Recalls Poem Choices The time has come to speak of poetry. I know you'll probably stop right here, but do you know why you dislike poetry? Even though you are not one who reads poetry just for the aesthetic value, there is some sort of verse that will appeal if you will give it half a chance. In most cases it is ignorance that influences your dislike. For amusement and humor try reading Ogden Nash . . . For instance . . . "A girl who is bespectacled She may not get her necktacled; But safety pins and bassinets Awaits the girl who fassinets." Modern poetry is good and often fills the need the best, but the old sentimental poets really have something. Who can imitate Edgar Allen Poe's "Bells" . . . . . . To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells." Christopher Marlowe for sentimentality . . . "Come live with me and be my love . . . " Keats . . . ". . . I'll smoothly steer My little boat, for many quiet hours, With streams that deepen freshly with bowers." Wordsworth . . . "A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, smiles." The list of wonderful bits of verse could go on for miles but that is where the pleasure is found, in discovering a bit of well known new poetry that says what you feel better than any prose could possibly do. Don't take my word for it or anyone else's. Speak for yourself! tion is., "What have the freshmen done lately to make news, what have the sophomores done,, and what has the junior-senior class done that should appear in print?" With the clubs it is the same story except in occasional instances where a tea or a drive for some cause steps into the news. Unless the- students are active there is nothing for us to report, so the news you see in your weekly is what you make it. Another thing—it is impossible to include everyone's name in every edition, which we know is one of the greatest causes for dissatisfaction. But until you make the news, we can't report it. It is all up to you. ym Gonlessin Ya' wanta fashion foto? Wanta know what's the latest? Well, right now the vogue has turned to red. Tomorrow, though, it is very apt to be tan. Joan Martinson has invested in a two-tone job that has everyone wondering just what she is thinking of. In case you are wondering, those gals at Edens just haven't learned the art of sunbathing. Campus benches and the tennis court are literally swarming with students who just can't get enough of Old Sol's remedy. Frosh Are Some Good; Maybe!! By WALT BAKER Little ones, big ones, short and tall. Standing 'gainst the main hall walls. Floppy coats, turned-up brogues. Why, don't they look like rogues? Who? . . . The Frosh. In Hospice, Edens and even Daniels, Everywhere they're in a frenzy, They gesticulate, arguing with much air. Boy, they, sure look debonaire! Who? . . . The Frosh. By golly things would sure be drear About this time every year, If no one new around these walls Failed to show up at all. Cuess we need them, Guess We'd miss them, Who? . . . The Frosh. Gruesome Sights Anticipated Soon Have you seen the weird beards? Well, Campus Day is "whisking" upon us . . . only four more slopping days 'til the day we don our oldest togs, sans make up, with a Fiji Island hair-do, or oldest clothes -plus bristly beards. George Jurgens has a head start at beard growing. He never shaves until his whiskers scratch his ears, and Campus Day caught him in the final stages. I want to warn you By CHAR Good morning- Good Moaning ; Good Mourning That's how it is here at WWC . . . Some love to see their names ia print; others groan, and my mother will be mourning if a few of yrase guys carry out those threats. Only the other day, Pat Cooper tried to «b«ot me with a Kay Gun, but it wasn't rayning that day so it wouldn't g» •ff. —•— First honors go to JoAnn and Cookie Oh lookie lookie lookie . . . and not bad, either! —•— Ann E. wants to know a few things about the Norsemen's cruise.

And Helen couldn't even blush through that sunburn. Audreye with grass on her coat Friday, early in the a. m. Girls bemoaning the fact that Chris's brother is already taken. Becky Terry's brother was here, too. Jack Danley out looking for flowers. Roy reports that no one has said anything out of line at Daniels. —•— OPTIMISM No studies nor worries, How happy we'll be!

Think of where you could go. About 50 per cent would make a tour of the service camps of the country, the fellows would probably buzz around and. scare H out. of the faculty,. Betty Dodge would head back east. Harriett Clow would probably get as far as Mount Vernon and throw the darned thing away, and Mr. Dack would have the carpet in shreds in nothing flat tearing around to see all of his "Boys". Dale Burkluhd would challenge Superman to a race, and Gerry (Barefeet) Woodward would head straight for Dogpatch. —•— Well, if you're still here, you can go practice for the Pie Eating Contest. We will miss Mr. Hearsey, who takes on all comers. See you Wednesday! that tht rules do not permit you to take any of the articles from the old clothes drive.

Neither had I, until this morning. It could mean any number of things; which one it does, I do not know. It may refer to tennis rackets, which are associated with springtime. On the other hand, it may imply the guff, noise, and racket in this column. It may, however, indicate the slang use of racket— a dodge or trick; an imposture. Now we are getting somewhere, but where? —•— BEARDS BLOSSOM Hooray! The men of WWC are going to give forth with beards; the only thing left at which they excel the coeds. For a week the men will be men and demonstrate their masculinity with growths of bristles at one extreme and eider down at the other. Dale"Burklund's thick, black beard is t h e most potential winner. If Roger Nelson can cultivate a slight growth, he will probably have the blondest beard. The golf enthusiasts have been getting in a f ew practice licks for the coining golf tournament. Tis rumored that Allen Thon almost broke a hundred. Seven men have now signed up for the tournament. Wark, Sivertson, Thon, Burklund, Riddle, Pavlicek, and some character called Currie have all affixed their John Henries. Match play gets underway on the seventh. This warm weather has brought out the Hospice boys; their tennis tourney is going full tilt. Nelson will keep you informed of results. —•— VIKS DARKHORSE Intercollegiate sports competition has returned to WWC with a bang. The Vikings are the darkhorse in the coming Tri-Modern Dance Meet with EWC and CWC. The Viks are after the Winco title this year. The last time the p e w t e r cup rested in our hallowed halls was 1942 when the team pictured won the t i t l e . Coach Muffly is making no predictions, but she d i d say, "We have a chance." Pat Cooper is the standout in the field events on this year's team and Marilyn Booras leads in the sprints. —•— A sports event I will remember for a long time is a rugby match I witnessed between Oxford and Cambridge Universities. More interetsing than the game itself was the crowd reaction to the contest. There was no organized cheering as we have at football games. In fact, by comparison, there was no cheering to amount to anything at all. When the ball was dropped between the two lines at the start of the game, one player cleverly worked the ball back to his teammates with his feet and received a round of handclapping from the crowd and exclamations of "Well heeled ball!" If a team executed a play well they were praised by spectators of both sides with "Well played, varsity!" or "Good play, Oxford!" When a player pulled an out and out boner he was applauded, nevertheless, and the spectators said, "Jolly good effort." —•— AMERICANS PLAY What a contrast was an exhibition American football game between an air corps team and a ground force team that was held the same day. The American spectators were organized by cheerleaders into too madly hysterical groups that gave forth with bloodthirsty yells such as "Give them the axe," with its implications of mayhem. A player who pulled a boner received hoots and hollers of derision. All sorts of derogatory remarks were directed at the referee when he placed a penalty on a team. I t was just like a college football game in the States. As th game progressed, enthusiasm mounted to a high pitch and the yelling increased. An Englishman summed up the reaction of his people to the game when he saicl to me, "I say, I'm afraid there is going to be trouble." —•— POOR CUNDER Our boy, Cunder Haegg, is having a rough time in the United States, came in a slow fourth in the Penn Relays last Week. That transportation he is awaiting had better materialize rapidly. —•— News has arrived of the defeat of Pavlicek's seventh grade track team by Emie Ludwick's Lynden seventh graders. Ludwick's luminaries won the meet 23 to 1. Pavy claims his team would have made a better showing if they had had more practice. Hal Arnasoh, the Bellingham High athlete, was played up by the Seattle P.-I. this week for his pitching ability. He is an outstanding prospect for organized baseball. Arhason is a versatile fellow. Besides being an outstanding baseball player, Arnason is an all-state basketball player, is an all-Cross State football end, is ASB president at Bellingham High, and is on the honor roll.

He took second place in the half mile in both the city and county meets. He has the ability, and with a little more self confidence should start romping in first. These boys and the rest of the Campus school squad will get a real test of their ability in the coming district meet. Good luck, boys! —•— More good news for football fans . . . Oregon State College has joined Idaho and WSC in announcing their intention to resume the gridiron sport this fall. Graduate Manager Percy Locey stated that OSC would "definitely" field a football eleven. Oregon and Montana are the only holdouts left in the Northern Division Coast conference. —•— Have you noticed how this column wanders and wanders more each week? Well, you would have noticed if. you would read it. Putting out enough guff 'n stuff each week to fill up space gets to be more and more of a chore as the weather gets nicer. It is becoming difficult to keep my mind on writing a column. My thoughts are of other things. (And Pm only three and a half years old!) In other words, spring fever has hit ye olde scribe. Watch out below, here comes one used typewriter! Hospice Tournament more norse notes Near Completion Hospice Inn tennis tournament is now in full swing. The racket swingers have been beating the ball all over the courts this past week and expect to finish the tournament possibly by Monday. The way the tourney was designed, many of the players drew byes for the first round. Tom Riddle defeated Lloyd Jones in a first round match, 6-3, 6-2. Riddle then went onjto defeat Bob Myers, 6-0, 6-1, putting him in the semi-finals against Dale Burklund. Burklund got the semi-finals by a match with Jack Danley, 3-6, C-0, 6-1. Riddle and Burklund will play a match today to determine which one will go on to the finals. In the other section of the tourney, George Jurgens is in the semifinals via a bye in the first round and a forfeit from Jack Graham. A first round match between Walt Baker and Herb Witt will be played off today, and the victor of that match will meet Bob Pavlicek. The winner of the match with Pavlicek will go on to the semi-finals wilh Jurgens as opponent. (Continued from Page One) centered for security from future wars. The 46 nations gathered at San Francisco hope to bring about an organization that will keep the peace. Most of the people of the nation want such an organization, but there are many idealists who will want a perfect plan to come from the conference or none at all. After the last war there were many such people who rejected the League of Nations because it was not perfect, and as a result they chose the other course which lead' to anarchy, chaos, and another war. The same thing can happen again after this war if we are not careful to learn from past lessons. In next week's column there will be more on the San Francisco conference, and I hope to have a Students Sucia Island Bound Sunday, May 13, men of WWC and their guests will embark on the annual Norsemen's cruise. Curtis Borchers, chairman, promises that all who travel with the: group will have a wonderful day. gt; The Sea Scout Ship? Activian is scheduled to leave Bellingham at nine a. m., and will convey the party to one of the scenic islands in. the San Juan group. Weather permitting, a few brave souls may take along their swimming suits and have a cool dip in the salty brine. Tickets for the cruise will be on sale early next week, and Wednesday has been set as the deadline for purchasing them. Details may be obtained from Chairman Borchers, but an afternoon of leisure and fun-making is in store for all who make the trip. Softball Enthusiasts Turning Out Now The girls have also been turning out to the call of spring this last -week. Barbara Caldwell, Bev. Morgan, Iris Bowden and many others can be seen out throwing the soft ball around. Gathering a few iame muscles on the courts have been Marilyn Booras, Babs teHennepe, H e l e n Boyer, Ethel Martinson and Mavis Danley.

I'm a PANSY, and I'm proud of it!" Naturally I was puzzled at this coming from the hedge right across from Hospice, so I looked to see who it was, and sure enough, there was a tall, dark, handsome . . . pansy. Pretty soon a chorus of pansies were just shouting to be taken from their hiding places, so out trooped a whole slew of Edens Hall Prosh, who began dashing madly around the dew bedecked, or just plain wet, campus in search of pansies, for each year the Uppers give the Lowers (speaking of classmen, not berths or teeth) a May Day Breakfast and Pansy Hunt. And the frosh return the good will by giving the grads a breakfast which Miss Powers is always late to. But back to my story! Edens is going to be different this year. Instead of the usual pansies there will be all sorts of pansies that Miss Piatt has had her science class grow. Now available are the talking Pansola, a cross between a phonograph and a pansy, and also a Pansetta, crossed with a Poinsettia for early blooming. The tiny ones are the Pansitas and Pan-sitos, Mexican ones that Donald Duck brought back on his magic rug. The last, loveliest, and livilest are the chim-pansys, which have exceptional expressions on their velvety faces. If you are interested in growing pansies, just enroll in Science 999.

It seems Lucille must have been a bad girl or something cause she got spanked good and proper this week by a certain blonde man about the campus. What was that for, Lucille? Another interesting but not very consistent comment that was overheard at the same time was "It's because I like to hold you." ENTJFF SAID! ! ! THE INNER SANCTUM Did you see the spread that Hospice Inn had last week? Well, we are going to try and keep up the good work. We know the women are just dying to find out what is going on in the InnerSanctum. Hospice was left rather vacant last week-end. A good share of the men, including Dale Burklund, Bob Myers, George Jurgens and Jack Danley packed up all of their dirty clothes and took off for home. The first match of the House Tennis Tournament was played Monday night between Lloyd Jones and Tom Riddle, with Tom winning 6-2, 6-1. The grudge match of the tournament will be played Friday evening between Ping Pong Pavy and Herb Witt. They say they are going to charge 10 cents per person, but sneak around to the back gate and Jack Graham will see that you get in for a nickle. Of course, this is strictly off the record, so don't spread it around. Coach Pavy has been looking rather blue for the past week. The cause: the Lynden team of a former WWC man, Ernie Ludwick, beat Pavy's seventh grade team from the Campus school, 23 to 1. Is Hospice ever getting swanky, or is it? We now have a Rose Room. Pavlicek and Jurgens have been doing, what they call interior decorating. They have big sheets of red paper on their desks and when the light hits it, WOW! It makes you dizzy to walk by so you can imagine what it is like living there. Well, my pen is going dry and my eyelids are getting heavy so I will close my little book and turn in for another night. Yes, another day of rest. Bye now. ^ FLASH— Latest reports show that the old clothes drive sponsored by Blue Triangle pulled in quite a haul.

Tlotes By WALT BAKER NORSE NOTES We all wonder sometimes, just what goal the United Nations and we, as individuals, have in mind as to why we ore fighting. Even the men on the fighting fronts wonder as well as the populace ot home. We just can't say this is the war to vend all wars, or that we want to exterminate certain racial groups^ The proceeding reasons hold a .semblance of truth, but we have and should have more solid reasoning and more facts on just what our ultimate aim will be. We are a nation at war and the ultimate aim of War is peace. Peacej however, is far more than the cessation of armed conflict. Opponents in battle may cease fighting because of exhaustion of material or man-power, problems the Axis nations face today. A truce, and even weather may enter the problem. These, however, are not sighs of peace, for the causes of the conflict have not been removed. The controversy has not been settled. Neither side has given up. Hostilities are merely suspended, to flare up again when circumstances permit. No, peace is more than tranquility. It is tranquility grounded in order, and in an order of justice, in law, rather than in armed might. THE ENEMY'S PEACE The peace our enemies see, and the only one they are fighting tooth and nail for, on their own admission, is a conqueror's paradise. Ic is a world ruled by force, maintained by force and administered by force. It is an order dominated by men" rather than by "laws, an" order in which there' are one or more master minds arid master nations for that matter, with the others held in bondage and suffering oppression. Their so-called new order, already imposed upon the nations they have conquered, and are losing one by one, is not really new, but a reversion to a pre- Christian pagan order, and without the saving graces even of the ancient order. IN CONTRAST: By contrast, the peace we are fighting' for is a world, not of oppressions, but of freedoms. "This free-ness, this liberty," declare our leaders, "this precious thing men love and mean to save, is the granite ledge on which the United Nations now propose to raise their new world after victory... These freedoms are: freedom of speech, of worship, and freedom from want and fear... It is not claimed that this list of freedom's is exhaustive, that men may have no others... But it is asserted that these four are the basic ones to democratic living, and that they are so interdependent that where one is missing, all of the others suffer. BASKETBALL: Tomorrow night, Coach Charles Lappenbusch and his right hand assistant, Cale Campbell, will send the up-and-down Viking casaba squad, who will be playing the role of modern David against a strong and versatile University of Washington team, starred in the role of Goliath in the first game of a top notch home and home series. Last year's Viking squad, also playing the role of o David, met the UW team and literally scared the pants off the powerful purple and gold outfit from Seattle, when they dropped two heart-breakers to the Huskies. Let's do our part, and every last one of us, including the faculty, turn out there to support the wearers of the Blue and White. FLASH!! All students must enter the East door of the gym Saturday night and will-be required to sit in the section reserved for the student body ticket holders. This measure will be enforced to the fullest extent because of the large crowd expected and the room that will be taken up by the 35-piece Mount Baker School band, which will furnish.the' music for the evening. So students, let's all co-operate with this arrangement and make up a solid WWC section on the east side. Violinist Brosa Guest Here Antonio Brosa, violinist, was guest soloist at the assembly held Tuesday, January 16, in the'College Auditorium. Mr. Brosa, who was accompanied at the piano by John Sundsten, presented a program of outstanding classical numbers. Mr. Brosa's concert career began at the age of ten. So great was his success, he was awarded a scholarship- to study violin in Brussels. Instead of returning to his native country, Spain, he continued to win praise from concerts given in England. Former Staff Boss Lost in Action Al Biggs, former WWCollegian editor and now a sergeant in the U. S. army air corps, has been reported missing in action over Hungary since December 11, according to word received here this week. .Biggs entered the service in 1943, and upon completion of his training as a radioman, he was assigned to the crew of a B-24. In August, 1944, he was sent overseas. Last November he was awarded the air medal with two oak leaf clusters for meritorious achievement while over enemy territory. He served as editor of the 1940- '41 Collegian and as sports editor the previous year. His wife, the former Betty Rusher, who also served as a member of the WWCollegian staff, is now living with her parents in Bremerton. Coming Assemblies Arouse Interest As a prelude to the Viking's big game against the U of Washington Huskies tomorrow night, the yell leaders, Merrie Virginia Eggers and Charlotte Samples, led a few yells in assembly this morning. The results were loud and spontaneous. There will be an AWS business meeting on Tuesday, January 23, in the Blue room of Edens hall. After the business has been taken care of, Miss Frances Simas will speak on the Orient. All AWS members are invited to come. VOL.

The Norsemen will name the first twenty today' on their ballots, and the votes will be counted by Mrs. Ruth Burnet, publications adviser, and Doris Tedford, ASB president. At an assembly sometime in the near future, the field will be narrowed to ten girls by a group of Bellingham photographers. Portraits will then be taken of these, ten girls, which will be sent to Whidby Naval Base for the final selection of the reigning Prom princess. Her identity will not be revealed until the night of the Prom, when it will be announced during the radio broadcast. Three Coed Join Valkyrie Ranks Pat Gardiner, sophomore; Martha Graves, junior; and Nell Kosola, sophomore, were elected this week as new members to Valkyrie. This brings the club membership to 22.

Those elected into the club fall quarter are in charge. Valks are sponsoring the half-time entertainment tomorrow night at the University game. Mildred Fife will twirl the baton with a drill by Valkyrie and Pitt White and Merrie Virginia Eggers will present an acrobatic routine. Rangy Lad DON MCMILLAN Big Don McMillan, veteran Husky center/ will lead the Washington trainee squad when it tangles with Coach Lappen-busch's much-improved Vikings Saturday night at 8 in the college pavilion. Last year, McMillan broke the single game scoring record with 34 points. He is playing his third year of varsity ball for the Huskies, and is an excellent pivot man around the keyhole. Hec Edmundson, UW coach, will depend a lot on McMillan's scoring in the Huskie's offence. Record Crowd Anticipated Vikings Out To Win Grudge Game; Huskies, Beware! The University of Washington Huskies, coached by Hec Edmund-son, will meet the Western Washington Vikings this Saturday evening at the college gymnasium. Game time, 8 p; m.

Baker high school will have their thirty-five piece band, dressed in full Scottish kilts to play for the fans during the game. Show Rehearsals Now Underway All major acts for the Winter Show axe now cast, and at least two already are in rehearsal. All parts have not been filled as yet, however, so the names of the complete cast can not yet be given. «, Dr. M. F. Cederstrom and Mr. Victor H. Hoppe reported that they were very pleased with try-outs, _as_ some fifteen people tried out for chorus rolls* and about eight presented specialty acts. Many of these will be used in the show. A roller skating act is the latest addition to the show. It features Crystal Ackerman, Cynthia Systma, and Joan Martinson. According to advance reports, it promises to be one of the high-iights of the pro-* duction. ; ' The show is scheduled for sometime in the early part of March. Ex-Viking Athlete Missing Word was received from the War Department this last week that former Viking football captain and All-Winco guard choice, Lt. James Hollings-worth is missing in action over Europe. He is shown above Coach Lappenbusch in his football days at WWC. Jim flew P-61 fighter and had previously shot down eight Germans in one day.

OUR FUTURE I don't know if any of you have thought much about the G. I. Bill of Rights, which was passed fast year but I was asked to read an article the other day on it which appeared recently in Colliers magazine. It was written by Robert M. Hutchins, President of the University of Chicago. Dr. Hutchins' father visited our campus last quarter. After this war is over, and between now and then, boys will be returning to college campuses to finish their interrupted education. According to the provisions of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, every man who has been in the service 90 days or longer will reap the benefit of free schooling at the expense of the government. The bill providing this sounds very good when casually mentioned,, but there can be and is a lot more to the situation than is apparent at first thought. All of these matters will someday affect us and many of our friends who are now serving in the armed forces. As the post-war leaders of this nation, we should be examining the future that our elders are making for us. As Dr. Hutchins points out, unless some changes are made in the G. I. BilPof Rights, "colleges and universities will find themselves converted into educational hoWJ jungles." It's about time we, who have the opportunity for education now, look over our wall of seclusion to see how we can help those who are helping us now. By SEARL You say you want to hear You say you want to know, Stay around friends, 'Cause here I go Of Mice and Men; Patsy Cooper (Heroine of the Week) is official "Mouse Exterminator" at Edens Hall. She now receives a gold star for each new victim for mice, of course. Speaking of murder, Cupie Clement has a certain dance step for "The Three Caballeros" that can not be surpassed or is it just good exercise for your daily doesn't, Cupie? Dancing also seems to-be one of Donna Flakes favorite pastimes, (her latest professional contribution involves falling on the 'floor, then resuming the natural position Careful, Donna, you're apt to fall hard some day. It is being hushed about from place to place that Joyce Ackley and Mildred Spromberg plus two men in navy blue were seen walking at midnight on the highway toward Lake Whatcom the scenery is lovely out there in the moonlight. While we're on the subject of hearing things We understand Merry Virginia Eggers doesn't ever pass up a dare .but has she proved that????? A certain fed head proved she can get out of a rut congratulations. House Hooey RAGAN'S RAMBLNGS Thump! Thump! Thump! Go -the muscles, Slap! Slap! Slap! Go then-hands, Stop! Stop! Stop! Scream the "house" mates but the exercises continue. They pound, they bend, they twist, and the house resounds with many groans, for three girls from Ragan's are determined to get those sylph-like figures through the noisy, and now famous exercises, of a certain well-advertised success course. HARBORVIEW HAILS In spite of gas rationing, the girls at Harborview Hall enjoyed a five course progressive dinner Wednesday night. They were served shrimp cocktails, tomato soup, jellied salad, stew, and a surprise birthday cake for Gerry Leek. Favorable comments can still be heard about the new method of traveling from room to room on foot, instead of using precious gas to go from house to house. A good place to go to enjoy some hot jive is Harborview's Blue room, where Corky Urfer can be heard really beating it out at the piano, all hours of the day. Good athletes turning out for sports this year are Eleanor Anderson, Ruby Stroebel and Corky Urfer, swimming; and Mavis Danley, basketball. Good way to get rid of that surplus energy, isnt it? Peggy (out of things) Sorenson lost her shoes in the lounge the other *day. Best advice Peg; don't let loose of things you don't want to lose. Pauline Brue and Stu Moldrem (Ex-student of WWC), sketchy kids have fun drawing the characters of the school how about that, Joan Haggard? Oh, well! gossips have a keen sense of rumor. It's not a rumor that the Sip and - Bite is fast becoming a popular find-'em-here place. They have the space to dance and the nick is due any day now. (Note: good records too). A dream come true. A dream came true when the basketball bounced in' favor of WWC at the game with the Coast Guard proud we are to be rooters for WWC. Question of the Week!!! Why the red faces in Hygiene class?? maybe Herb Witt can give the answer. Seen Together— Roy Weldon and Cynthia Sytsma skating of all things. Dick Brunswig and Bernice Chatterton, driving like to make that 10:00 o'clock class. BiU Murray and Ver-na Deck are always seen around. AH YES!! IT'S A GREAT LIFE IF YOU WEAKEN IN TIME TO ENJOY IT. Get in Paper; Wrap it Up If you have ever wished to get some article of yours in a newspaper, here's just the way to do it. We offer the following rules which we trust will prove of value: Take the newspaper and, opening it, Jay it on the floor. Smooth out the creases with the hand. Having selected the article place it in the center of the paper and carefully turn the edges over, folding them so as to make a neat package. Now, with a strong cord, take a turn about the parcel lengthwise; then one crosswise. Knot securely with a square, round1, oval or conical knot and the task is complete.

Cederstrom, one of WWC's most active faculty members, deserves a round of applause from one and all for his wholehearted help in putting over athletics and student affairs here at school. Dr. Cederstrom is a person to whom a lot of praise should go for the organization of the basketball games' faculty ticket men. Foster Veteran on__ Viking Ball Club Now playing his third season of basketball under Coach Lappen-busch is Paul Poster, sophomore basketeer from Puyallup, Wash. Having had a very wide back-ground in athletics, Paul excels in swimming and basketball. Because of this experience, Paul is one of the finest ball handlers in these parts, and has a keen sense for set- ' ting up plays. A likeable fella if there ever was one, Paul returned to WWC this fall, and was immediately elected president of the Norsemen. This soon led to his unanimous choice as captain of the basketball team as soon as .the season had rolled around. In addition he carries on many other activities. As the season is well under way now, it can easily be seen that Paul's services wjll be invaluable to Coach Lappenbusch and the Vikings for the season of 1945. highly touted Huskies, the Viks will throw everything they have at the visitors in an attempt to win. Coach Lappenbusch has had his squad hard at work all week long and they should be in tip-top shape for the Huskies. v Both the Huskies and Vikings have played the Whidby Navalairs, with Washington taking a trouncing and the Viks breaking even in two games. On the basis of this, the game should be a toss-up. Viking Speedster Lineups Eastern Savages Vikings Huddes Here Jan. 26-27 Wark F....^.. Burton Graham P.

We are not in favor of such a drastic move. It is all right for some of those guys who sport a young wheat field with a covey of quail on their phizzes but what about us'ns that write to their home town newspaper when they sprout peach fuzz after a week's steady sprinkling with Sterno, the miracle hair restorer. Anyway it's only 11 days until the gala spring festival date and already the performers in the crew races are getting ready for the watery struggle. At least that is the reason given us for the many cars parked along the Fill these evenings. The Fill is also known as the Furniture Factory estuary. We feel sure we have picked a winner in the pie-eating contest. We are ready to back Norm Dahl, the Seabiscuit, in any size pie. Norm is a graduate of the now defunct Beanery and as such, should give the other contestants a handicap. At the Beanery it was a case of the survival of the fittest and fastest. Norm is the best eater we have seen for lo these many years, both in quantity, speed, and finesse. . SHORT STUFF . . . Let it now be said that Dr. M. F. Cederstrom's son and heir apparent, believes in calling a spade a spade and not a dirty old shovel. For further particulars inquire of the 10 o'clock comp class of the erudite Minnesotan. Walter Baker, the Marietta Maurauder, confides that the Navy is growing very concerned over the Panama Canal zone and adjacent waters. Bake is tentatively slated for training there after he gets through his reserve training at Chicago. F u r t h e r news from Uncle Sam's front informs that Butch Franko, Don Bell, and Lobo Moscrip are safely at, Santa Maria. Don was made a leader of the Northwest cadets on the trip to California.

XL—NO. 28 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingharri, Washington Friday, May 2, 1941 Norse Sail Again; Islands Beware Annual Men's Club Cruise Dated for Sunday Morning. 75 to Participate on Trip As the Sea Scout ships, Activian and Legionnaire, put out of Belling - ham harbor Sunday morning, the annual Norsemen's cruise will get underway. According to Brian Rob-son, the boats are to leave the Municipal dock at 7:30 a. m. and will sail among the San Juan islands for the day, stopping at Sucia, Orcas, and Sinclair. As a help for students riot knowing the location of the dock, a party is to be organized at Edward's hall at 7 a. m. "Approximately 75 WWC students are to participate in this cruise, which Robson feels will be one of the most successful affairs the Norsemen have staged. The party will make a stop at Sucia island for lunch and from there will move on to Deer harbor at Orcas island. Last stop before hitting the Bellingham waterway at 10 p. m. will be Sinclair island. Those planning the cruise stress the fact that each member of the group should bring both lunch and dinner as well as cups and spoons. Coffee will be served by the Norsemen. Other suggestions offered by the committee in charge warn students to wear soft soled shoes and take heed of sunburn. In commenting on the cruise, Robson said, "Weil do quite a bit of singing and for this I would advise purchase of a copy of "Trail Tunes." They're on sale at the Research bureau for 10 cents a copy. I'm telling you this will be a good cruise, the best yet." Klipsun Staff Plans Color Schemes At a Klipsun staff meeting held last week, decisions were made as to the colors to be used throughout the book. The color of the end sheet was selected to harmonize with the cover. Golf, tennis, and track pictures were taken this week along with a series of pictures for the feature page. About 30 students (who are still wondering what it's all about) are being featured instead of the usual one or two who are designated as the most popular. Editor Shirlee Cratsenberg reports that the KUpsun is being printed now but that it is too soon to announce the date of release. Al Salisbury of the Western Engraving company spent last Friday afternoon with members of the staff discussng the 1941 Klipsun and possibilities for the 1942 book.

The topic of the address will be "The Community Survey and Its Relation to Modern Education," The speech will be based largely upon the Sedro-Woolley-Burlington survey to be made this summer under sponsorship of the State Planning council and the University of Washington workshop. The remainder of the meeting, to be conducted by Dr. Paul R. Grim, ninth grade WWC Campus school supervisor and president of the study group, will consist of group discussions and possibly the election of Study-Group officers. Casa Lomans Give In Burlington Booked to come to the new $20,000 Roller frolic at Burlington for the grand opening Saturday, May 10, is Glen Gray and his Casa Loma orchestra. Gray is being brought to Burlington through the management of the Music Corporation of America. Musicians from jazz instrumentalists up to and including symphony men marvel at the band's tecfihical ability, its ensemble work, and the virtuosity of its soloists. The general public likes it not only for these features but because it is "commercial" without being "corny." WRA PLAY DAY MAY 10 High School girls from Whatcom and Skagit counties will be guests of the WRA at the annual Play day to be held May 10. The girls will be entertained during thei day with games and group discussions. Campus Day Dance Held as Usual Beards to be Grown, Planted During 5-Day Interim—Uh! As the 11 intervening days between today and Campus day dwindle away, two events have definitely been decided upon. An abbreviated, fiye-day beard-growing. contest will be held startm'gJ;Friday, May 9, and ending Campus day, May 13. The Campus day dance will be held the evening of yCampus day instead of the proposed Monday night before. Otherwise, the spring quarter highlight, with all its traditional fun, will be much the same as in past years.:' Cash prize contests will, feature part of the day. A $1 pftze each for the longest, reddest, and fanciest beard will be the incentive for bewhiskered WWC malfs in the Whiskereeno contest. Two winners, a boy and a girl, will be selected at Lakewobd in the( preliminary pie-eating contest. These two champions will battle in the evening assembly for a $1 first prize with 75 cents going to the loser. The third, and perhaps most aesthetic affair will be the men's bathing beauty contest. The male contestants, properly attired in swimming suits, will vie .for a $1 first prize. The second most "beautiful male" will receive 50pcents. The judges for these} Campus day contests have been tentatively announced as being female faculty members. -i Establishing a precedent^ the assembly committee is offering $2.50 first prize for the best skit in the evening assembly.

Is American labor composed of human beings' welded info a group or are they a dangerous menace to civilization? We travel under the impression that labor is composed of fellow- Americans but recent reports from the House "of Representatives, cartoons in papers, and other influential sources, would lead one to think that labor is a dangerous beast, fit only for electrocution and throttling altogether. Most of our parents belong to the laboring class and are composed of the same stuff as workingmen anywhere. Would you condemn your father to the electric chair or to complete abeyance to his employer? We are not condoning all strikes, yet we refuse to condemn them. The right of labor to organize and strike is still one of democracy's strongholds.

With rain last Saturday and Monday nights paving the way, he feels there is still a chance to have grass high enough to mow within six weeks, now that sprinkling, is possible.. At the latest it will jte well up by%the end of the quarter if nature will co-operate. California Sunshine Ain't So Hot Memorandum re: the recent unusual weather: California Chamber of Commerce has been doing a lot of complaining lately of the "Washington weather" they have been having. This is a complaint against what CCofC's euphimistically call California weather —• although no tourist has ever been able to be in California except when they were having unusual amounts of dew. The main objection to long periods of sunshiny days and starry nights is that the level of conversation is lowered to a serious degree. Take, for instance, the case of a young gentleman and the light of his life who are parked on Sehome hill. As they gaze out over the smoke-smudged town, she lowers her head to his shoulder. He murmurs. "Lovely weather, isn't it." She dreamily answers, "Yes." And there the conversation ends. There is nothing more to be said. She can't say it looks like rain because it doesn't. He can't reply that he thinks the clouds will go away because' there aren't any. Consequently the two little dears lapse into silence and spend the evening twiddling their thumbs. And then there are the poor agriculturists like George Dack who have done their spring planting in the simple faith that just because there always has been lots of rain in April there always will be. Now there is no rain and there are no growing things. There is a story going around about a farmer who has unlimbered his gun with the intention of shooting the (40 words censored here) Japanese for changing their current just so his radishes "wouldn't come up on schedule. -; • :-^r'By"Mariiyri- Manuel •;'. gt;.'

The Gladiators had previously handed the St. Martin Rangers a worse drubbing than the Viks dished out a few days ago. As it was, the Lappenbusch men might have taken the first doubles match for a clean sweep but for a two and one-half hour wait between the singles and doubles match for- Glenn and Pettyjohn. Now that most of the not-so-confident prospective racquet lettermen have made their letters, theoretically at least, we may see the ladder switch about a bit. One quick glance at the crystal sphere assures a win for the Wildcats from the Blue and White at Ellensburg this week-end. Remember, only one of the Knox species is out of school. McLaughlin's trial toss of 40 feet, 10 inches, proved to be the best for. C P S and good for five points in the week-end meet. Carver's bundle of hope, Ed Fleming, failed to hit his practice throw distances while Lawrence Munizza displayed possibilities with a third place. Strange as it seems, the closest first place position to call for the day occurred in the 880-yard run when the Parkland man tipped the tape a couple of inches ahead of Baby Dahl, high point getter for the locals with a first and two seconds. The times, as a whole, for the cinder opener were comparable to a good high school meet. If you think I'm kidding, check the box scores with a few of the events in the high school relay carnival held last week with Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish county schools participating. The Southern trio in the mile event boxed Cale Campbell very effectively in the sprint turn. Next time, Campbell is going to have Johnny Lund pace him and beat off boxers and admirers alike. An interesting little mural argument, that may be put to a vole, arose the other day when a partial strip-tease came off on the softball diamond. Firebug Hollingsworth demanded that Alick Mitchell peel his spike-laden track shoes for the common good; whereby, Mitch demanded that everyone take off his shoes if Mitch had to do so. Ump Healy then asked for a voluntary Gypsy Rose Lee on the tootsies so encased with the spiked variety. After a half a dozen of the fellows had removed their shoes and played ball on blistering heels for a while, they began to ask why cleats weren't allowed. To make a short story longer, I have listed Joe Moses's reasons why cleats should be allowed and my reasons why cleats should not be allowed. As it happens, Joe is in favor of barbed shoes while I am not. MOSES'S: Although I don't think that track shoes should be permitted, I do believe thai the league would be faster if cleats were permitted with the field in its present condition. The wearing of cleats Would be optional to those players who cared to purchase or borrow them. MINE: The circuit is still classified as an intramural league. A good portion of the fellows would not be able to obtain a pair of these special shoes. Under these conditions, playing opportunities would be unequal although intramural departments emphasize that equipment is the same for all participants. I still have a couple of scars as reminders of cleat shoes so I guess that I am just prejudiced. It's up to you men of the softball league to decide upon this trivial matter by voting when the issue comes up. At least we can be thankful that we live in a country where we can still vote and, argue upon such trivial things and the big items, too. Where did that plug come from? I'll have to dial out these breakfast news propagandists, especially Goodrich. Carver's divot diggers showed vast improvement as a team in their encounter with PLC. All of the green addicts shot in the intermediate 70's. Bob Smith's 74 was good for top spot while Buck Rogers clipped close behind with a 75. Fitch, McGhee, and Finnell posted a 76 and two 78's, respectively. Some of you so-called golf fans are missing the boat this season. The walking gallery has been nil so far during the home matches • Bill Fowler, ex-WWC playboy, seems to be hacking the hot spot for the Husky diamond nine at Seattle. Box scores credit Fowler with five stolen bases in three games. Fowler's press agent and frat brother, Jake Carver, let loose this little release for the alma mammy. . . . Hospice Inn captured the first annual intramural crown last Wednesday when they whitewashed Edwards hall. . . . My only national sports prediction for the season is that the Yankees should polish off the American circuit by quite a few games to take the series. Forget that I told you.. . . Goodnight, Gram.

The only first he has picked for the Vikings is a possible win in the mile-by "Cabbage" Campbell. Last Friday, on their new track layout, the Viking thinclads took an 85 to 46 defeat from a" well-balanced College of Puget Sound squad. Leading point-snatcher for WWC was speedy-Norman Dahl who garnered 11 points in the meet. Bob Maycumber of CPS was tied with Dahl for high point honors.v Highlight of the meet was the 880- yard run, won. by Sharp of the visitors., "Durable" Dahl stayed with the pace-setter the entire distance and lost only by a close six inches. The only double winner of the day was Puget Sound's Leggee who reeled off a win in both the 220 and 440. Everett Fleming, hefty Viking weight man, had an off-day and placed second in his best event, the shot put; however, he won the discus throw with a heave of 123 feet, 5 inches. Summary: 1 Mile run: Oxholm (CPS), first; Beck (CPS), second; Campbell (WWC), third. Time 4:40.7. Pole vault: Windsheimer and Mc- Aulay (WWC), tied for first; Walker (CPS), third. Height, 11 feet.

Miss Moldrem has appeared, in many Guild plays and is prominent in college music circles. Eliza Crosses The Ice Safely In Local Guild Showing By Clarence Soukup Bringing back to the vivid imagination, the story that split the nation asunder back in the 1960's, the little Theater Guild at 120 Prospect street scores another triumph with its production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," now running currently at the Guild playhouse. Performances may yet be seen tonight and tomorrow. Beginning with Eliza's crossing the Ohio on the ice and ending with the whipping and death of Uncle Tom, the scenes were staged and pbrtrayed with such realism that the first-night audience fairly gasped. Tom's whipping by Simon Le-gree is so forceful that the spectators cringed in their seats. Alva Potter gives an excellent interpretation of the kind-hearted, God-loving old Negro. Glenmore Jones in a double role draws his share of laughs for his real-to-life character portrayals. Perhaps an unusual role was the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde performance staged by Ronald Lund. From the gentle, kind-hearted St. Clare, he transforms into the cruel, morbid, and tyrannical Simon Legree. Beulah Padavon also draws praise for her role of Topsy. Others in the show giving able performances were Victor Dickinson, Glessner Burchette, Melvin Erickson, Bill Biggerstaff, Maurice Nelson, Maxine Moldrem, Olive Thon, Gertrude Lund, Mary Hibner, and Ronald Jones.

Montague, will present his thrilling story of his six years with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, in the regular assembly next Friday, August 2. More than half of his time with the mounties was spent in Baffin-land, the largest police district in the world, under the shadow of the North Pole. He was one of ten men who were chosen for this lonesome northern patrol, from which only two men returned alive. The post was later abandoned because of the danger. During this experience, Montague discovered that the Eskimos were real people, and in his lecture shatters many theories about the Eskimos and the Canadian Mounted Police. Among the theories he discusses, is the one on the Mounted Police always getting their man. Montague says that if there is a man to get, they usually get him, but there are many more important things demanding attention. Canada, stretching from the United States to the north pole, is a vast country that must be policed and kept in order. William Matchan, baritone, will sing for the assembly next Tuesday, July 30. Mr. Matchan was presented in concert here before and was^ very well received. BOARD ABOLISHES COUNCIL Having only a lifetime of one year, the student and faculty Publications council was abolished subject to approval of the faculty by the Board of Control at their meeting Wednesday.

MORE THAN 473,000 STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS, colleges, ond universities throughout; the country were employed on NYA jobs in March, 1940. This means that one out of every seventeen of America's high school students and one out of every ten college and university students were earning federal funds on projects planned and supervised by local educational authorities. In evaluating the student work program there are many factors to be considered. In the first place, the work performed by the' students has not only enabled the educational system to operate more efficiently. It has.resulted in an invaluable contribution to the advancer ment of knowledge in many fields through the research assistance provided by the students. In the second place, the development of planned work programs, carefully integrated with the needs and interests of both students and schools, has helped to remove the cloistered atmosphere from general education by giving many students a practical Work experience. In the third place, the student work program gains significance from the fact that it is a new method of helping to realize the American goal of equal educational opportunities for all. Finally, because of these three factors, the funds which have been spent in assisting these hundreds of thousands of students must be regarded as an investment—an investment in our educational plant, an investment in productive research, an investment in many of our nation's future citizens and workers who are thereby much more adequately prepared to serve in a democracy and to contribute to its future prosperity and welfare. Regardless of who is elected in the coming fall election, may the NYA not be forgotten. It needs to live. Anyone.who thinks that women aren't becoming the stronger sex should have noted the marquees of the downtown theaters last week. All running at the same time were the following features: "Andy Hardy Meets Debutante," "Dr.' Christian Meets the Woman," "Cisco Kid and the Lady,' "Lone Wolf Meets the Lady," and ^Sailor's Lady." Ah, poor men! How Football Became Major Sport Thirty-seven years ago, a young man stood in front of a group of boys in' the old* house that once was across f r om Barton's hall. He was suggesting and urging the men of the college to form a football team. "Think of the honor, glamor, and the glory. Think of the fun. "Oh, come on, trays, what can we lose?" That man was L. A. Kibbe and his talk had not been futile. A committee was sent to see Dr. Matties, then president of WWC. He gave his consent provided the boys would not run the college into debt. Lawyer R. W. Greene, still in Bellingham, father of Helen Greene, former WWC s t u d e n t , was • made head coach. There were 37 boys in school against 300 girls, a ratio of 10 to 1. Nearly all the boys were out for practice. Mr. Kibbe wanted to play but the heavy load of studies prevented it. He did his part, however, and took up the duties of yell leader, ticket taker, and all-around general manager. The day of" the big game came. The opponents were the eleven of the New Whatcom high. In blue • and white cheering section sat only seven brave girls of the noble 300. Across the field in a frenzy of cheering sat a huge crowd of Whatcom backers. The hour was a disappointing one to Mr. Kibbe but he started to make the best of his small cheering section. Just then two huge fellows stepped up from out of nowhere. "What seems to be the trouble, Buddy?" Mr. Kibbe explained his predicament. One of the big fellows waved his ami to a crowd of similar-sized behemoths standing off to the left. Soon the blue and white cheering section was making more noise than the combined forces of the Whatcom high. The Hilltoppers came through, too, with a 6-5 victory. A touchdown counted only 5 points in those days. After the game, Mr. Kibbe asked a friend who his kind supporters had been. "Why don't you know? They're wrestlers. There's Prank Gotch and there's Farmer Burns. They wrestled for the championship of the world last night. All those other big fellows were here to watch the match." And that's how football became a major sport of WWC.

FORMER INSTRUCTOR HERE FOR SHORT VISIT Professor Gebaroff of the John Marshal! junior high school in Seattle, and former WWC instructor, was a visitor of Franklin Shaver, school printer, last week. Mr. Gebaroff had charge of the industrial arts department at WWC twenty-five years ago. He was the first to introduce printing into the teacher curriculum in the state of Washington. At the present time he has charge of the printing department of the John Marshall school. One of the highlights of his visit was the meeting in the halls of two - of his former students of 25 years ago. The Teacher and the Public By President Haggard The parent-teacher association is a very important agency of school interpretation. The membership of this organization at present is approxi-* mately 1,750,000. Its possibilities for broad contacts are not comparable to the newspaper, but it does afford especially good opportunities for the teacher to establish relationships with parents without seeming to interfere with what some individuals call parental prerogatives. The parent-teacher associations not only provides the opportunities for desirable personal contacts with parents but occasions for other forms of interpretation. • In every- community disputes regarding school procedures arise from time to time. These disputes usually emerge from misunderstanding. As an example, complaints regarding the evoluation techniques come to the school. Can one think of an organization or an agency better suited to provide for a panel discussion of this problem than the parent-teacher association? Another example may be the financial needs of the school district. The parent-teacher assocation is the organization that should first consider this problem. If properly carried out, mutual consideration of problems usually means mutual understanding. No agency of school interpretation has more worthy objectives than the parent-teacher association. Among its stated objectives are better understanding of the aims of the school, the establishment of a closer relationship between the home and the school, and organization to help meet the needs of the school. Teachers should welcome the opportunity to participate in the parent-teacher association. If the parent-teacher association is a problem for the school, wise leadership in most cases is the solution. Dr. W. W. Haggard Interesting Facts Probably of interest and not known to most WWC students is the fact that four of the present college instructors were graduates of this institution. They are L. A. Kibbe, class of 1905; S. A. Carver ^ 1913; Miss Hazel Breakey, 1914; and Miss Georgia Gragg, 1919. Miss Bertha Crawford, former supervisor of the eighth grade in the training school, now retired, graduated from here in 1917. Miss Mae Meade, college nurse, although not a graduate, attended the training school. Mr. Carver and Miss Crawford are the only two who began teatching here immediately after graduation. Sam Carver was perhaps the first example of proselyting in the annals of WWC. Dr. Bond was the college coach at the time. "I needed a.forward," said Dr. Bond, "and down in the dust of the Bloedel Donovan mill I saw that forward. He was Sam Carver. Of course £ told him that a mill was no place for a young man. What he needed was an education and a future, but there really were not any philanthropic ideas jn my heart. What I wanted was a forward and I got him."

For instance: The distance of forward passes will be measured from the line of scrimmage to the point of completion. Kicking yardage will start from the line of scrimmage, to the point of dissention. However, if a punt goes over the goal line computation will stop at the goal line, that is, if the ball is kicked from the forty and lands behind the goal, the kick will be computed as a forty-yard boot. . . . Another item that they take into consideration is that only the actual number of first downs will be scored. If the ball is on the eight-yard line with first and goal to go and the yardage is made, no credit of a first down will be awarded. In other words, a team will have to travel a full ten yards in order to be credited with a first down. We think that this is a good scheme but until all the scribes, etc., catch on there will probably be some divergence. We wish to congratulate HOMER H. HEIN, the former Washington state college athlete, who recently signed as the head coach at St. Martin s college. Homer is well known to this locality having been reared in Bel-lingham and Burlington. He is the brother of Mel Hein, who has been all-league center with the New York Giants in professional football for the past seven seasons. Hein graduated, from WSC in 1933. He'was track coach at bongoiew from 1933 to 1935. From 1935 to 1937 he coached all sports at Darrington. For the past two years he has been recreation directorial: Berkeley, California. Hein succeeds the colorful, friendly, Joe Paglia who resigned to enter private business. Our palm is also extended to LEONARD H. YANDLE, former Conzaga university basketball player who will be head basketball coach and assist Hein in football and track. Yandle has coached at Spokane and Multnomah junior colleges. His home is in Oregon City. Interesting sidelights—This boy Erickson from Arlington who is now beginning to look like an old man still seems to have plenty on the ball. . . . He held the single men of the college to one hit in three innings of baseball the other night. . . . Over in the College Inn they're talking of a tournament that will set a new precedent in the annals of WWC. . . . I t may be necessary to call in Dr. Bond and several other prominent mathematicians to help Dr. Cederstrom figure out the handicaps. . . Russell Jackson has threateningly announced that he will try a comeback for his 75-yard individual medley record sometime in the coming Fall. . . . Howard Hardy recently usurped Jackson's title. . . . And may we say in closing, like Royal Brougham, we, too, feel that Al Hostak is making a mistake in trying for a comeback. . . Babe Risko used to say if his hands were right, he could knock over telephone poles, but they weren't. . . and where is the Babe now? NINETY ENJOY INDIAN SALMON BAKE Salmon baked Indian style by actual Indians was the treat provided 90 people by recreation headquarters Tuesday evening. Mrs. AnT drew Joe, of LaConner. Wash., cut the salmon in small pieces and putting it on thin ironwood sticks, baked it over alder coals. After the salmon-and-coffee-feast Martin Sampson, chairman of the council of LaConner reservation, spoke concerning old Indian beliefs, the general status of the Indian, and the work that has been done on the LaConner reservation for the Indians.

But the 6ther' lt;lay while going through my wallet I discovered an oldN American Weekly neatly crumpled in behind my driver's license. Thumbing hurriedly through the 26-page edition I was ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ K ^ ^ P ! ^ K i p S H ^ startled to see an article by a ^ ^ ^ w s ^ , , , * : H i ,,v,:,,,.,, gt;m,sss^™« "Well-khown professor in the east who says "that the eyes are gradually growing closer together and that some day there will be just one big eye in the middle of our face. v I wonder just what provision President Roosevelt is making against this national catastrophe. I think my eyes have started to move in already. But I bet mine never do grow together. They will probably just close in enough to touch at the corners and then stop. One would get quite a jolt to wake tip some morning and, putting on his glasses, discover that they w;ere useless because he had only one eye. Glasses cost money. But I" guess it won't happen for awhile yet. "Countless Ages" is the way the professor times it. So that lets all of us over 19 out of the fun. The other facial features are going to be shifted around somewhat. The large eye will not be in the center of the forehead like you thought—nnaa-nnaa-nnaa. It will be right in the middle of the physiognomy. The facial contours hitherto below the eyes will be compressed into the small space between the eye and the r chin. I don't know where you will wear your ears. Maybe they will be detachable and the stylists in Hollywood and Paris will dictate each year where they are to be worn. No provision is made for those who wear moustaches. I suppose they will wear them on their forehead or the back of their neck. This calls for quite a readjustment of our present idea as to just what constitutes a face. I think we had better just drop the word face and name it something else. But if it ever happens just keep a stiff upper lip—providing you have an upper lip left. V V • CAMPUS DAY just to change the subject {you should, change subjects eoery 1,000 miles for the best mileage) we will revive campus day. All in all (silly expression) it was very successful despite the menacing Weather. About the only ones who didnt fall into the lake or gel wet were the lifeguards. The sound system installed with the loudspeakers blaring at you from trees and rooftops Was a aery pleasing and should-be-done-oftener idea. But with all the fun I'm glad' it's past so I can start recuperating for next year's Campus day. Vet of Deep Sea Diving Tells Further of Work By Phillips Captain Art Hook, veteran deep sea diver and former navy officer, leaned on the door of his car after the assembly Friday, as he continued discussing his experiences. "Narrow escapes? How was I to know if they were narrow or not? One has no way of telling how close he came to slipping over a cliff. I came up, that's all I know." This was the way Captain Hook replied to the question asked of every man or woman who works in a dangerous position. "I started diving when two girls drowned in Lake Whatcom," said Captain Hook. "Recovered their bodies and I've been diving ever since, except for the time I spent in the navy during the war. At present I work for myself; going to Alaska each summer and working there, for the fisheries and for private individuals." Captain Hook, speaking quickly as he did in assembly, said, "Why, in the forty minutes they gave me here I was just getting started. I could go on for hours telling of my experiences. You can't tell of 20 years diving experiences in one or in five." "Yes, you can kill octopi by hand if you know how," replied Captain Hook to that query. "By grabbing the eyes with two fingers and then pushing you can generally kill them—if they don't get you first. Octopi are dangerous and there are many right here in our own waters. One doesn't need to be too scared, but one should be careful." Hook, of less than average height but very powerfully built, is a Bellingham man, having attended the Campus school here at WWC and also having been prominent on the Bellingham waterfront as its first harbor master. "I also was the first newsboy and the first motorcycle cop in Bellingham," said Hook, as he mentioned his town life. Students Voice Opinion On U. S. And Its Participation In War By JOE BELDON, Editor Student Opinion Surveys of America AUSTIN, Texas, May 16.—As Europe's war spreads to new fronts, observers are pointing to increasing possibilities of the U. S. being involved. In the opinion of American college students, many of whom are of fighting age, what are the conditions under which the U. S. should join the Allies against Germany? Interviewers in scores of campuses have asked that question in' a Student Opinion Surveys sampling. The^ results, exclusive to the WWColIegian and other member newspapers, show definitely that the American collegian has not changed his mind, is still much opposed to rushing into the conflict. A good majority—two to one—may be included in two camps: Those who believe we should not join at all; those who would have us fight only in case the U. S. is actually threatened with an invasion. The largest group of students, one-third of the entire enrollment, would keep our armies at home and fight only if an enemy attacked on this side of the Atlantic. The smallest group registered in the poll, 2 per cent, represents the students who believe the Lf. S should join the Allies at once. Following are the complete national tabulations: Under what conditions do you believe the V. S. should Join the Allies against Germany? t. Only if there is actual threat of the U. S. being . invaded -. ....... 33% 2. U. S. should not join _ 31 3. Only if there is actual threat of any American: nation being invaded _ 15 4.

No opinion ._ 4 Those are the opinions of students after the German invasion of Scandinavia. Recent allied failures in Norway may have changed attitudes to some extent, but the trend as the war has progressed has been more and more against the U S. entering the conflict. Six months ago a Surveys poll pointed out that 36 per cent approved of sending troops against Germany if the Allies appeared to be losing. Nov only JO VOL XXXVI.—NO. 31 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday,. May 17, 194CB SHIERS, JUNKIN/MONSON WIN ASB POSTS Haggard Names Faculty Five To Talk Jobs Revamping of Student Rules Of Employment Due lii Faculty Committee Meet President Haggard has announced the organization of a faculty committee to consider the revamping of employment standards here at WWC. The present requirements of student employees were first put into operation in 1933 but since then conditions have changed. It is the aim of the newly-appointed committee to change these requirements to better fit the present situation. The committee will be composed of Loye McGee, Miss Florence Johnson, Dr. C. C. TJpshall, Miss Ethel Church and Dr. Merle Kuder. Employment Big Issue That this is a big issue in the college administration, can be seen from the fact that 200 students are employed by WWC. This group comprises one-quarter of the student body and its yearly income amounts to $30,000. Of these jobs 82 are NYA. Committee Has Three Objectives The committee has three prime objectives before it in the effort to improve student employment. It will strive to provide all the employment opportunities possible, thus establishing the necessity for scholastic standards. The required grade point average at present is 2.35.

H. Hoppe Takes Directorship, For Anderson's Drama; College Students Fill Roles "The finest poetic drama ever written by an American." Thus the critics term Maxwell Anderson's "Winterset," to be produced by the Bellingham Theater Guild May 29, 30, 31, and June 1. Hope To Direct Presented under the direction of Victor H. Hoppe, WWC drama coach, and staged by Glenmore Jones, the play brings to the stage in important roles such familiar guildsmen as J. Marshall Bacon, Alice Benn, Victor Hoppe, Norman R. Burchette, and Cleon Butz. Dr. Jack C. Cotton, of the college speech department, will make his Guild debut in an important role. WWC Students Cast This nuclear cast will be supported by a group of eighteen, among whom are Glenmore Jones, Alva Potter, Mary Lou Plumb, Ronald Jones, Ronald Lund, and Norbert Cormier, the latter from WWC. This play is considered by many to be Maxwell Anderson's greatest triumph, and has been presented on both the stage and screen for several years. Its plot revolves about the conviction of the young man, "Mio" played by Cleon Butz, that his father is innocent of a crime of which he has been accused. Gripping, dramatic scenes and fine stage settings characterize the play as it is written, and the Theatre Guild intends to include all of them.

The plan seems to echo a popular conception that the poor allies are being molested by a big, bad bully named Hitler. The last victim of such sweet phrases is now dodging Nazi invaders somewhere in Holland. If beaten Hitler will probably live to see another occupant fill his shoes and climb into allied hair just as the eighty-three-year-old ex-Kaiser is seeing the Austrian paperhanger do today. Wilhelm, the old man-with-out- a-country, is a living example of an assumption that it is not the man Hitler that is wrong with Europe or Germany but existing resource and population conditions that are effervescing into a froth of militaristic madness and murder. As one observer has said Adolf is but a pimple on the face of Europe. If he is removed another will rise to take his place. An anonymous allegory to today's European situation is the one likening the entire mess to a boy with a toothache. Picture the Teutonic nation as the boy and the dictator as an ulcerated molar. Obviously a mere slap on the face and physical punishment cannot remove the ache and neither can the slapping down of Adolf Hitler remove the underlying causes of the frequent European strife. If the tooth be merely extracted, a nickel given to lessen the pain, and the cause for its decay left unmolested another ulcerated bicuspid will even tually take its place. Just so if Adolf Hitler be extracted and a million American dollars be given for his extraction another maniacal leader will fester into a dictatorship. As long as England and her allies tell the teeth to take care of themselves while they allegorically exist aplenty on the candies and goodies of the economic and populative suppression of their lessers, the world can expect the teeth to decay and give rise to ungodly pain that will become so great that even extraction and proper care will come too late to save the face of European civilization. The allegorical sore teeth are wrong, these candies and goodies are wrong and WAR IS HELL. Let's have none of it. Preservation in^Good Spirits .Much has been written and spoken concerning the tendency of some college students to raise their spirits with spirits. Perhaps the most pertinent idea on this question is the anonymous observation: "Not many college minds are important enough to be preserved in alcohol." It s The Adding Machine That Counts The staff work on last week's paper marked one of the biggest tasks the Collegian has accomplished in the many years of the college's existence. There have been six-page papers before, but never before have there been 6,250 of them. Mathematically here is how the sheet totalled: - Each paper carried 38 columns with 20 cuts utilizing 203 square inches. One hundred and thirty-two inches of advertising were circulated. Each Collegian carried 15,000 printed words and represented 75 hours of student writing, together with 42 hours of student assemblying work. gt;, the sum total of all the time and labor that went into the 6,250 papers is staggering. Ninety-three million, seven hundred and seventy-five thousand words were printed, 1,268,750 square inches of- pictorial material shown, 725,000 column inches of ads were circulated and all this went on 825 pounds of magazine paper which were divided into 37,500 pages, which were subdivided into 237,500 columns. All this represented468,750 student-veiling hours- Student • assemblying hours added up to 262,500.

Atrocity Adolf At Work From Germany, by way of Siberia, came a 64-page propaganda booklet to the Collegian office this week. The table of contents questioned sternly, "Shall We Call It Refined British Torture?" Apparently the British were interning German women in a prison, while British prisoners i» Germany, according to the magazine, live in a kind of "castle where there are tea parties, card parties, and various amusements." (Firing squads are lots of fun). In another article it was reported that the nasty British are bombing neutral Denmark, which naturally outraged peace-loving Germany, for "Germany desires a Europe in which all nations cooperate to mutual benefit. Even in wartime she is trying to achieve this aim." Czechoslovakia loves Germany dearly and under German rule is starting a program of beautification of towns and villages, under armed guard, probably). The Czechs are to be shown that their real enemy is the Jews. It seems that there are British boy scouts on a camping trip in Jugoslavia. And Germany maintains through the medium of the Magazine that these vicious boy scouts are sabotaging factories! No sir, you just can't trust those boy scouts. They turn into sabotage agents and spies every time. In Poland, Germany is bearing with a bad situation bravely and generously in the face of the atrocities perpetrated by a few misguided Poles (Jews no doubt). These vicious Poles have "murdered" at least 5,437 German soldiers and "more graves will probably be found." These soldiers were peacefully trying to help the Poles run their country. The murders were undoubtedly instigated by the British who have planned them for a long time. According to the booklet, the only reason France is in the war is because of the influence of the Jews, for the French really see eye to eye with the Germans. Instead of admitting or explaining any of the charges brought either by the allied or neutral countries, they are "officially denied." This phrase occurs with monotonous regularity throughout the magazine. The subject . of concentration camps is studiously avoided and as for anyone ever being shot in such a camp, why the whole thing is a big joke and treated as such! WALON fteoi mcl Tltfik ^ FRANCE/1918— "The whistle blew. The sign for the attack had been given. My men were just kids, but so were the enemy. It was certain to be a hand-to-hand battle. I stumbled on through the mud and darkness. A German,youth, just a boy, a bewildered expression on his face, charged toward me. I lunged forward, my rusty 12-inch bayonet poised for the fatal. thrust. Then I got "deer fever" as the boys' eyes, in that flash of time, showed fear again. I couldn't jab him. I made an attempt to side-step and use the butt of my gun. But too late, he slipped and fell, my bayonet passing completely through his body. My first thought was to withdraw the bayonet and hide myself for this was a crime, a murder, but the bayonet had stuck in the lad's backbone. Wildly, I wiggled the bloody bayonet back and forth; the boy's body no longer moved, just the cold open eyes stared up at me. Extracting the bayonet, I couldn't go further. Mentally dulled, I slid back into the trench. I lay there for three days, vomiting every meal I ate . . . " WAR!! . . . as described by an army officer to a small group of R. O. T.

KULSHAN TRIP—FOLLOW-UP Sliding down hill on tin pants is the latest sport to be taken up by the college athletes—at least that's one that captured the sportlight on last week-end's Kulshan trip, jointly sponsored by the WAA and Norsemen; Lois Reid scraped her leg in the process, but aside from that, it was a popular sport. Two of the male members of the parly, Rolf Jensen and Frank Anderson, obtained feminine help in pulling a toboggan uphill, but when the girls looked down the hill they were going down they decided that the two men could have the pleasure of sliding down alone. Saturday nighty the hikers organized an impromptu band, composed of kitchen ware, and Lila Hart's harmonica, and danced the Virginia reel and the schottische. The hike up Colman glacier, led by Chet Ullin, former WWC student, was one of the highlights of the trip.

As Biggs has been so deliriously stating in his horsey predictions of late, it'll take an awfully warm hotfoot to move the Rangers from their dust-eating role in the W J N C O conference. The Gladiators, like the Rangers, haven't anything to write home about in way of ability either, but even with such comparatively easy pickings as these, the gang of Carver Norsemen will still find it tough sledding if some of them don't put their noses to the" grindstone With almost two months of cinder training behind them, it is still evident that many of the men are still in a dire need of further conditioning This is amply proven by the sad way in which several of the "stalwarts" crawled around the cinder path last Saturday. If the boys who are expected to win fame and honor for WWC, would save their romantic ad-; ventures at least until after the meets, there would be a lot less gray hairs in Coach Carver's head, arid a lot more points in the Viking summary. So men, just watch your step tonight, because if you're going to win any meets at all this year, it'll have to be tomorrow.

After a shower of rain, the track takes on the appearance of Battersby field after a winter downpour. George Mabee, Wildcat track head, had a solution for the problem: "Maybe you should erect bridges over the water holes," he suggested. Anyhow, we won't have to put up with this headache much longer, because with the coming of the new training school, it will necessitate a new track field, and please, peoples, let's have one that will make fhe rest of the conference ovals look like sand lots. • Are letter sweaters becoming cheapened at W W C ? Oscar, • the Collegian mystery man, was in a quandry. You see, Oscar went to the track meet last Saturday, and he witnessed an Ellensburg man lose third place in the 440, because he was unfortunate enough to foul the Norse runner on the first turn. The young Wildcat, a very good sport, accepted the lots of the gods phleg-matically enough, even though it cost him his letter. Oscar was inquiring about, and he found that Ellensburg requires 8 points in track for a letter and an additional 8 points for a sweater. This set Oscar to thinking. He reflected that Norse golfers have to win but 9 points in a season that includes at least 8 matches and a possible 24 points, and they annex a sweater. Tennisters have only to take a mere two points out of a possible 10 or 12 and a sweater is theirs. And on the other hand football players must grunt and toil through fall mud for 10 minutes in each of five halfs before they join the W club. Basketball, too, is tough with prospective letter winners having to play ten minutes in ten different halves before they get their just reward. It all just didn't add up to Oscar, but probably that is because he is a stupid little kid. He kinda thought that they should make the requirements for tennis and golf a little tougher.

They will take their own lunches and cups, and will be met at the trail by the packer, who will take in their personal equipment. Leaving- Wednesday noon, the packer, the cook, Miss Ruth Weyth-man, and the work crew, plus the food, will hike in to set up camp and get the cobin in order. Fleda Whitten will be the cook, ably filling the one requirement of the job —that she be a good one. There will be a few K. P. duties for individuals, but only a few. Dinner will be waiting for the party at Kulshan cabin when they reach there Thursday evening. The first of three big campfire programs will be held that night, with singing, games, and tall-tale-telling predominating. The itinerary of the trip includes a hike up to the back of Black Buttes on Friday, the Mount Baker summit climb on Saturday, with meadow and glacier trips for those who remain at the cabin, and the trip out Sunday.v The party will be made up of both seasoned hikers and inexperienced people. Don Coss, a member of the Mount Baker hiking club, will accompany the party, and C. A. Fisher, assisted by Chet Ullin, will lead the summit climb A short meeting was held Monday afternoon to instruct hikers concerning clothes and other dunnage, and to examine their shoes. Sunday, after a huge breakfast, the party will return, with four days of sunshine, gorgeous scenery, outdoor life and companionship, good food, and a whole .mountain, tucked away in their memories—all for $5. Baker Memorial Selected By Irene Fyhn Consisting of alpine plants and basaltic rock from the Mount Baker region a landscape group has been chosen as the memorial for the six students who died in the Mount Baker tragedy last summer. It is felt by the committee who have chosen this form of memorial, that bringing the alpine beauty from the Mount Baker region will be a fitting memorial for these students, Beulah Lindberg, Alice James, Hope Weitman, Julius Dornblut, Vene Fisher, and Maynard Howatt, all of whom died on Mount Baker. Nobel Hoggson, Seattle landscape architect, has ' gt;. prepared complete drawings of the ^proposed memorial. It is to be located near the path going up Sehome hill between the Science wing of the main building and Edens hall. Garden Setting Columns of basaltic rock will form the central motif around whichNwill be grouped alpine plants in their natural rock garden setting. Around the memorial itself will be a basalt rock seat, giving an amphitheater effect. On the basaltic columns will be placed bronze name-plates with the names of the students for whom the memorial is erected. The committee, which consists of both students and faculty members, reports that the U. S. forestry service has consented to the removal of the basaltic rock from the Mount Baker region, and the CCC has offered to bring the rock to the campus. Funds necessary for the building of this memorial have been subscribed by friends of the deceased, and between 1300 and $400 are available. The committee states, however, that it may become -necessary to solicit additional funds from the students attending WWC, but the committee hopes that this will not be necessary. It is the plan now to get the work well under way by the end of summer. VOL. XXXIX—NO. 3? Western Washington College of Education^Bellingham, Washington Wednesday, July 3, 1940 Headquarters For Mount Baker Climb Hayes Teaches Flute Lessons To Daughter As Hobby By Lela Kaufman "My hobby right now is trying to teach my daughter to play the flute,'' said Mr. Creighton E. Hayes, social science teacher of West Seattle high school, who is pihch-rHttihgfor Dr. GrimTfor thesummer session of the training school. He spends the week-end with his family at his summer home on the Stillaguamish river where his wife and daughter, Beatrice Jean, stay when they are not taking care of the lawn at their Seattle home. As yet the flute teaching has been indifferently successful, and Beatrice Jean is still just an excellent piano player for a 12-year-old. Interested in the history of Asia and Central America, Mr. Hayes offers an elective course entitled History of the Pacific Rim to seniors at West Seattle high school. For one semester they orient themselves to a study of Russia, Japan, China, and the Pacific islands; for the next they study the history of Mexico, Central America, and Canada. He finds that most of the people he meets are quite ignortant regarding the history of these nations which he thinks will become increasingly important to Americans, especially dwellers of the Pacific coast. One of his ambitions is to visit United States' neighbors about which he reads and thinks so much. Asked about his other interests, the young - looking, gray - haired instructor smiled and said, "That's about all. Occasionally I play a very mediocre game of golf and once in a while I crawl up with fear and trembling on a horse." Having received his undergraduate education at Washington state college at Pullman, Mr. Hayes, has, ACE Plans Lunch At Edens Hall WWC's Association for Childhood Education has planned a luncheon to be held next Wednesday, July 10, at 12:00 noon in the Edens hall club-room off the main dining hall. Informal talks will be given by students from various ACE groups both in and outside the state. ACE members and .anyone interested in primary education, are invited to attend. Tickets may still be obtained for 35 cents at noon today in the main hall, and. also next Monday at noon and from 2:00 to 4:30 p. m. July 8, 9, and 10, there will be a display in the main hall of ACE publications including the "Childhood Education" mag«*me and various pamphlets. Anyone wishing to purchase any cad of these publir cations iWf do so at this time. as he expressed it, "Kind of smat-tered my education over the Pacific coast." He has studied at Stanford, University of Oregon, and the University of Washington. A typical Washingtonian, and proud of it, he was born in Olympia. All of his teaching has been in Washington, much of it at Lincoln high school in Seattle. Somewhat overwhelmed by an interview to which there was no word limit, he kept declaring that there was nothing about him to make good reading, that this was the first time anyone had cared about the life of a simple school teacher. He volunteered . that one of his most vivid impressions of Bellingham has been the way everyone has gone out of his way to make it easy for a newcomer. Mr. Hayes visited Dr. Grim this spring to learn what the program was to be. Then Dr. Grim spent the first week of summer school doing all he could to make his work easier. "Of course it isn't necessary for everyone to be so kind, but i appreciate it," Mr. Hayes said. Twelve More Get Positions Twelve more students have been assigned positions through the appointment bureau as reported by Miss Hopper. They are the following: Ralph DeBruler, Ocean City, fifth to the eighth; Helen Griffith, Lake Burien, music; Leonard Rod-land, Bay Center, seventh and eighth; Alice Molenkamp, Sedro- Woolley, seventh and eighth; Kenneth Bernet, Sultan, seventh and music; Blanche Campau^ Sultan, fifth; Eleanor Wfflison, Oak Harbor, third;,Jean•Cowie, Marysvffle- Shoultes school, first to third; Marie Beebe, Port Gamble, primary; Doris Woodcock, Sequim, sixth and sev-enth; Frank Anderson, Maple Valley, fifth and sixth; Lois Reid, Maple Valley, second and third, and music. Eighty-six Students Take Mantoux Tests on Monday Mantoux tests were given, to 86 summer students Monday morning between 10 o'clock and 12. They were administered in the college health department by Dr. Earle Gibb of the Gibb clinical laboratory and assisted by. Miss Dorothy Run-die, nurse. Miss May Meade- had general charge of the procedure, with Miss Helen Hostetter and Miss Nadine Toler secretaries. The college bears all costs of the tuberculosis indicating tests. Many took advantage of this opportunity because a state law requires that each teacher have a Mantoux test. Wednesday, 48 hours later, a follow- up reading was given by Miss Meade and Miss Rundle. Questionable cases were referred to the Gibb laboratory and all persons showing a positive reaction are required to have an X-ray follow-up. The cost of the X-rays must be taken care of by the student. Health Exams Completed Health examinations were given to approximately 400 new students. The entire first week and Monday and Wednesday of the following week were devoted to the routine inspection. Supervised by Miss May Meade, the examining was done in the PE building. . Physicians who were employed by the college health department were Drs. William C. Keyes, Donald C. Keyes, Howard C. Keyes, C. L. Long-streth, F. C. Rykken, and A. M. Son-neland. Only two students were eliminated from enrollment because of ill •health. "The students as a whole are in pretty good physical shape," stated Miss Meade; ''although they need more rest." ' There are to be no general checkups of the summer health examinations, although where such cases showing a need for it, will be fol-lowed- up.. Regional Meet Draws Near Final Climax Kefauver, Ogburn Speeches Summarized; Sessions End Today By Victor Dickinson "Democracy is on trial. The threat to democracy is not all in Europe but lies chiefly in the United States and our ability to meet the challenge to make democracy work," was the key statement made by Dean Grayson N. Kefauver of Stanford University in his address before the regular assembly Tuesday morning. Dean Kefauver's speech was a part of the three-day meeting of the Educational Confer^ ence of Pacific Northwest Affairs which concluded this morning. Tells Experiences Dean Kefauver recounted his experiences in the European capitals of Paris; Berlin, Moscow, Stockholm and London, and his conferences with leading educators of these cities. Maintaining that education cannot be understood unless it is seen as a part of the social and cultural patternofc a country. Dean Kefauver searched for the social aims behind the educational system of each country he visited. He pointed out the striking contrast in the thinking of the. educational leaders of Berlin and Moscow as compared with Paris.iand London^ The importance of democracy in education was1 outlined by Dr. Kefauver who placed emphasis on the concept of democracy within a staff of teachers' democracy in student life and control of the school;j-Jde^- •-. mbcracy in the classroom andftd£^: mocracy as it affects the community. Dr. Kefauver's address ended in a note of optimism but he stated, "We haven't fully arrived in America. We need to have faith. We must capture the imagination of youth. We cannot present pessimistic faces and teach democracy. We must have trust for we cannot afford to fail.

A SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION has just been concluded here at WWC. It is the first of its kind ever to be held on our campus. It marks another milestone in the college's march toward national prominence. Dr. Haggard is deserving of praise for his hard work and diligence in bringing this program to our doorstep. Many worthwhile subjects and points have been discussed and passed on to you. Do with them what you will; you are the best to judge. May the Collegian express itself as representative of the student body in thanking Dean Kefauver, Dr. Ogburn, George Yantis, Kenneth Warner, Julia Tappan, Anne Raymond, and the other prominent educators who were here, for the time they have given us. We hope that this visit will not be their last. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WAS THE RECIPIENT of an open letter on June 3 signed by thirty-five editors of college newspapers in twenty-four states throughout the country demanding that America remain at peace and that "this generation, born into the first World war, shall not die in the second." The letter was released from the national office of the American Student Union, 874 Broadway, through which the joint signatures were gathered. "Will our diplomas be turned into bayonets?" the editors ask, charging that proposed loans to the allies, the President's armament program, and his speech to the Pan-Scientific Congress "indicated clearly the road you have chosen—the Wilsonian road to war." The editors stated that they had learned a lesson from the last war and that "this nation will serve humanity best by solving the problem? of our own people, by building a forward-moving democracy, by refusing to aid and abet in any way a war which serves no justice, no people, no true progress. Walter Lippman in a current issue of the Reader's Digest expresses himself in a different frame of mind. "The only practical plan for American defense is to organize at once —with government subsidies if necessary—a vast expansion of our plants and personnel for making instruments of war. What those facilities can produce immediately we should sell to the allies. With those weapons they may be able to withstand the attack. Their successful defense will provide us with the indefinitely precious time to develop our capacity to produce adequate armaments. Then if the allies fall, we shall at least have made a start toward preparing ourselves for the emergency which will confront us." With the entry of Russia into the Balkan situation and possibly into the second World war, both of these philosophies may have their chance to rest as we grab grandstand tickets to watch two dictatorial monarchs fight their duel to the death in the arena of the world. To have a safe and sane Fourth of July—don't be insane! TEGENFELDT, WWC ALUMNI, BURKE BRINGS CLASSROOM LEAVES FOR BURMA 'FILM TO WWC Rev. Herman Tegenfeldt will leave sometime this fall for Rangoon, Burma, India, where he will be in charge of two large native high schools. Tegenfeldt was graduated from this institution in 1933, and taught for three years in the Seattle schools. He has since been graduated from the Bethel Theological seminary at St. Paul, Minn. Mrs. Tegenfeldt, who attended WWC as Ruth Pierson, and their small son will also go to Burma. AMrMOVN J. W. Burke will bring the entire set of Erpi films to the college on July 15, where a program will be arranged for their showing. A list of the titles may be found in Dr. Haggard's outer office. Those interested should look over the list and make requests for those which apply to them. Paramount short subject films of a recreational-amusement nature will come sometime during the summer. There will be no charges. Opening Saturday Dear Ma: Reporter Reviews Conference By Victor Dickinson Having as its theme "The Role of Education in Utilizing Pacific Northwest Resources," the Educational conference on Pacific Northwest Affairs opened in the College auditorium Monday morning, July 1. Dr. Kenneth O. Warner, of the Northwest Regional council, spoke briefly on the trends or directions of the council's work. He stressed the implications of the many social and economic" problems of the Pacific Northwest and pointed out the need for experts on human and natural resources to refresh the thinking and determine how materials of value could be fitted into the school curriculum. Rettie Speaks' Following this short introduction James C. Rettie, Portland, senior planning technician, discussed the subject, Social and Economic.Problems. Cultivation Traced C. C. Johnson, Spokane, of the soil Conservation service traced the history of soil cultivation and development of machinery to the present day. Mr. Johnson pointed out that land in the U. S. is being destroyed at the rate of 200 forty-acre farms a day by misuse of the soil! Concluding the morning session,, George Griffith of the U. S. forest service discussed the dependence of this region on forest economy and assured his audience that under a plan of "sustained yield" management our forests should last forever. George P. Yantis of Olympia addressed the conference in its Monday evening meeting on the subject "A Challenge to the Pacific Northwest" in which he outlined the use and misuse of our material resources without thought of the future. Mr. Yantis, president of the Northwest Regional Council, pointed out that the real test of government and the economic system comes in times of' depression and economic stress. The real problems we have to deal with are those of making a living. The speaker's closing remarks dealt with the importance of meeting the challenge and building a scaffolding for the real America by the solving the problem of consumer demand.' NOW Dear Ma: Summer school ain't so bad after all. It ain't no harder to get here at 7:35 than it was at 8:05 last • quarter. There's a lot of teachers here now. The only way you can tell them is that they wear stockings. Yon know, it used to be that women who wanted to forget men went to a convent; now all they have to do is go to WWC. I tried to get the principals of education, like yon said, but they all had wives or girl friends. It's sure a bad business when people ask if I have a teaching position. When I say, "No,* they're sorry for me. When I say, "Yes," they're sorry for the kids. It's time for my beauty sleep and you know I need it. Love, BABY. DOROTHY PETERSON INJURED Injured while playing in the snow, Dorothy Peterson was admitted to the school hospital Sunday morning. The accident occurred Saturday evening during the Church mountain, expedition. Examination by Dr. Ralph Taylor showed a dislocated cartilage in the knee. While the injury is not serious, convalescence takes some time. The Teacher and The Public By W. W. Haggard, President In a democracy public opinion is not shaped by a governmental department, such as found in certain European countries. In the United States the government or party in power attempts to justify its program but the opposition is privileged to point out the weakness of this program. The individual citizen is free to appraise the pros and cons^ of the argument and votes accordingly. In other words, sovereignty resides in the electorate. This situation, subject to certain limitations imposed by the state, exists in the school district. Every year the voters of the school district elect members of the board of education, which may be a phase of appraising the school. It is very evident therefore that the school cannot be thought of as separate from the public. The American people have great faith in their public schools. Exceptions in the local district are found occasionally but the explanations of the lack of faith are usually Dr W. W. Haggard related to the particular type of school program offered or the lack of understanding of that program on the part of the people. Blind support of the schools by the tax payer will be found less prevalent in the future than it has been in the past for the reason that the competition for the tax dollar is becoming increasingly necessary as a part of a long range program. There are several ways in which the teacher may participate in a program of school interpretation. Doing a good job in the classroom is of • first importance but not enough. To mention a few aspects of the teacher and school interpretation, a very human approach to the problems of the child always enlists the support of the parent. Participating in community affairs never fails in creating a bond between the school and ihe people. I n intelligent presentation of school problems through the press, the radio, a ^ ^ a ^ t e a c h e r association in which the individual teacher may have a very important part enhances understanding. EoIrVnoL: This is the first of a series of articles by President Haggard in regard to teacher relations with the public. Fiftv-Seven Student Teachers Enrolled Assisting the Campus school supervisors for the summer schoo are fifty S t u d e n t teachers. In most instances three teachers are assigned to a grade; howevtr, tht fourth grade and the kindergarten have four ^ B e s i d e s the thirty-two persons student-teaching in the various rooms, t h e r f S e nineteen taking the course in remedial teaching The music department has four student teachers; the industrial arte department, one. and the speech department one. • . The summer session practice teaching is available to just ^ j * *\ sons who will receive their bachelor of arts degree in. education in August, NoT only does the summer session of the Campus school provide a place where tud^ts can do teaching under supervision, but it a l s o ^ e , an opportunity to present observation classes wherein returning teachers c*n s e T o S t u a t i o n s than the.ones which have occupied their attention for the past nine months.

The stunt in this show is to get the greatest amount of suggestion with as little stage setting as possible. Two tables and a few chairs convert the stage into the respective dwellings of the Webb and Gibbs families, while Main street runs along behind these groupings of furniture. Kathryn Smith as Mrs. Webb, and Margaret Rabb, as Mrs. Gibbs, prepare breakfast in pantomime going busily from imagined kitchen sink to the make-believe cupboards. Carolyn Kuhn as Emily Webb, Paul Glenn as George Gibbs, and Beverly Walker as small sister, Rebecca, eat hurriedly in gobbling pantomimics WE CALL FOR . AND DELIVER and hurry up center and off to school. The most important character, is the stage manager played by Gordon Morton. In a rather flat, matter- of-fact' New England voice, he genially comments on ' the doings of "Our Town." He acts in various roles; first, the village druggist, and later as the village preacher. Early in the play he calls on Victor Dickinson,, as Editor Webb, to explain "Our Town" to the audience and gets fussy Professor Willard, portrayed by Marshall Bacon, to give facts and statistics about the place. "The short and simple annals of the poor"—this is the stuff of "Our Town."

WHATCOM COUNTY DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION BELLINGHAM LYNDEN WWC Softballers Drop Games To University of Washington With bad luck stalking- them all the way, an ill-fated WWC all-star softball team dropped a doubleheader to the University of Washington last Monday. The University won the opener, 7-2, and again walloped the Vikings in the nightcap,. 9-3. The games were played in Seattle. The ill-fated nemesis first struck when Sam Carver's 1938 Buick plugged up and burnt a few necessary items that usually keep the vehicle rolling. This strange act of fate occurred in Everett and the boys had to hail a taxi to complete the trip. The return trip to Bellingham was made by bus. In the first game the Vikings' big inning came in the sixth'when Sou-kiip beat out a roller and Landon, next up, hit a home run. Landon hit another earlier in the game that was tabbed for four bases, but he couldn't locate first base and was held to a double. Big Charley Erick-son from Arlington pitched fine ball for Bellingham, but several unearned runs led to his defeat. Butch Dombroski pitched the second game for the Vikings. It was again Landon who paced the WWC gang. The dark-headed youngster collected a double, a home run, a single, a walk, and struck out once for his day's total. ' Dick Johnson, former Husky football end, pitched the last three or four innings for the Washington team and struck out five of the Bellingham outfit.

Show more1942_0710 ---------- WWCollegian - 1942 July 10 - Page 1 ---------- School-Community Relationships Discussed by Corey This A. M.; • Identifying: four types of relationships regarding- school-community cooperation in war time Dr. Stephen M. Corey of the University of Chicago, made his initial appearance at the third annual WWC summer educational conference this morning. - Dr. Corey, in his address on "A Meaningful School-Community Program in War Time," outlined the four types as follows: (1) schools must keep their communities informed of what -. — - — is going on in the schools; (2) schools must provide to their communities services of a wide variety of types; (3) every attempt must be made to develop cooperative community school planning of educational programs; and (4) educators must use the community and its facilities as learning laboratories and as a source for learning materials. Speaking further on his second point Dr. Corey stated that we would not want our children exploited or advantage taken of them when they contributed to the war effort. "It seems to me that even in war time the school should not lose sight of its major obligation; namely, to provide youngsters with experiences that will enable them to grow in understanding," Dr. Corey remarked. WORK IN COMMUNITY Going further into the fourth type, Dr. Corey said, "... the sooner we can acquaint (the children) with community problems and methods of arriving at solutions to these Continued on Page Two Ruby Dahlin, Maxihe Dunfee, Visiting Instructors; Praise New Building By IRENE FYHN • Both enthusiastic about the new training school building, visiting Campus School instructors this summer are Miss Ruby Dahlin, third grade, and Miss Maxine Dunfee, fourth. This is the first time either of the two instructors has been in Bellingham, although Miss Dahlin has visited many times on the coast. For Miss Dunfee this is the first time she has been north of Portland, although she also has made visits to the Pacific coast. 'The new training school is hon- DR. STEPHEN GOREY estly the most gorgeous thing I have everseen;" isJkfissDahlin's.opinion of the new building. The physical set-up here is- really ideal, It's the latest thing in elementary architecture." Miss Dunfee comes to WWC from the University of Iowa demonstration school, where she taught the fourth grade, and is especially enthusiastic about the scenery of Bellingham. "Everything that is green is so much greener here, and the mountains are different from what I'm used to also.". DAHLIN FROM MINNESOTA Miss Dahlin is a member of the faculty at the demonstration school at the University of Minnesota and like all Minnesotans she is an avowed football fan. Both the teachers stated that the set-up in the demonstration school was a little different from that here. In both of their situations they have observations every day, and a demonstration lesson regularly on some specific subject that the technique teacher wishes to have demonstrated. Many and varied are the hobbies that, occupy the spare time of both the visiting instructors. Miss Dunfee expressed her interest in her many hobbies by saying, "I'm always interested in trying something that I have never done before." HOBBIES VARIED At present Miss Dunfee is experimenting with water colors, while she also finds time for her other hobbies, tap dancing and knitting. She also combined her fourth of July excursion to Vancouver with a hobby interest by purchasing an English cup and saucer to add to her collection of antique china. Miss Dahlin's hobbies also are varied, with her interest centering on music, gardening and reading, as well as her passion for football games in their season. After summer school is completed Miss Dahlin is returning directly to Minneapolis where, "I'm going to do lots of swimming. I haven't had a chance to swim very much yet this summer." (Continued on Page Four) Inter-American Relations Meet To Convene Here July 13-15 • That understanding of the Americas by Americans can come about through education is the belief of the conference-leaders of the Inter-American Relations study to be conducted July 13, 14, 15 at WWC.

Molding of Future Soldiers Teachers' Role, Says DuShane By EARL ECKERT • "Molding and shaping the soldiers of tomorrow; that is. the role of education in winning this war." So said Dr. Donald Du Shane Wednesday as he addressed the Institute of Professional Relations at WWC. Because of this responsibility, the teachers must now come to the defense of education in a democracy. The teacher is now preparing the voters for the period 15 years from now. Stating that the real test of democracy will come after this war, Dr. DuShane believes that the teachers are the ones to prepare for it. He exclaimed further that the ideal situation would have the pftiblic so interested in the welfare of their children that they would fight for education, but when they don't then the teachers have to carry on the battle. Dr. Du Shane said that the fight will not be an easy one. He told of groups which are trying to destroy the confidence which the public now has in education. He cited cases of groups saying that the schools should be closed now so as to lend greater effort to the war. Accusations of being Communistic also have been^hurled at the teachers. Because of military demand, more lucrative positions, and other reas- (Continued on Page Four) '42 Klipsuns Slated For Men in Service • Plans for distributing the 1942 Klipsun to WWC students in the armed forces were announced by- President W.

"Only a practice alert!" the officer said, putting out to sea again, changing it's course somewhat. Mrs. Dawson sought to be patient, as she realized that the shift in course would make her later than ever for the summer term of school at WWC—she was several days late already. Drawn to Sitka by the presence of her husband and son and his family, Mrs. Abi Dawson had found conditions there strained, especially during the time of the Dutch Harbor attack; no news came from any place, except from the threatening Japanese and once in a while from Moscow. All communication is by shortwave, but there they were, blacked out in every sense of the word. On the alert, women and children would take to the hills, feeling greater security in the green trees than from plywood houses. . As she spoke of these circumstances, I could picture her quiet manner, as she aided others to safety. She was small and angular and looked as if she would be deft at handling people confused by such an emergency. Other details of life in Alaska were falling fast. Big bombers in flight to unknown places, troop transports stopping briefly, defense activities of all kinds carried the theme of war to the regular inhabitants of the town. Women worked rather than stay confined to their homes under black-out regulations; men formed their territorial guards—with the women itching to take to guns as Well. Life among the fishermen, defense workers, women and children must be kept as normal as possible, with methods of recreation set up by the churches and organizations. Fresh food was scarce, and the water supply in town was endangered by one week of dry weather. "Surely you must be happy to reach U.S. proper, Mrs. Dawson. Flies Over Europe Are you planning to teach in Washington this year, is that why you are here?" I, asked. "Sitka is the place for me next, year—and for as long as I can be of help up there," Mrs. Dawson said as she straightened her shoulders. "I . shall. be able to work at one thing or another, teach in either the grades or the high school, as I am needed, besides having the pleasure of being with my family." "Is this return to teaching, then, a war-measure, Mrs. Dawson?" I asked, wondering at her youthful vigor. "Not teaching again," she said, stressing the word slightly, "I've kept up my teaching career out of necessity, through the many years of my husband's illness. During these years I maintained my family that way, but now that I don't have to, I want to, for the sake of doing what I can in the community where my grand-children will be growing up!" "I hope the. kind of work which you are taking at WWC will .help you up there," I said. "I'm* working for my three-year elementary, and incidentally, coming back after thirty-two years! Thirty-two years ago I stayed in the old Edens hall, mind!" "Happy homecoming, then, Mrs. Dawson," I said, and to myself I added, "not only here, but a happy return to Sitka, for you and your hardiness of soul!" and I left the. lunch-table in Edens hall, where I had fallen into this interesting conversation. Workshop Scene of Feverish Activity As Groups Take Field Trips, Picnic By JOAN CAMPBELL • With the end of the quarter too well in view Workshoppers were in a fever .of activity this week. Field trips, luncheons, an all-Workshop picnic, to say nothing of individual problem work and con-' ferences kept participants going at a dizzy pace. Two field trips have been taken by the major work groups working with Dr. Aubrey Kaan in the field of elementary curriculum. Both trip were to Sedro-Woolley, where the group is studying data gathered in an Upper Skagit valley survey last year by the State Planning Council. The group is working toward the adaptation of this material for use in the curriculum of the Sedro-Woolley schools. E. L. Edge and John Nordmark; of the Washington State Planning council, and Muncaster, made a special trip to the --College last week to confer with the Workshop group on the material and its possible use in the schools. Dr. Haan,- whose special interest field is the community school, will continue this study during the coming school year, and will work closely with Sedro-Woolley in planning and building toward a community-cen- . tered school program: In connection with this same study, all interested Workshop members are being given an unusual opportunity to actively participate in an actual community survey, which is being made in Snohomish county now by the State Planning council. The -group will work in Monroe during the day and will sit in on a meeting of the planning council in the evening. It Is , hoped a large group of students will be interested and able to take part in this unique experience. ALL GROUPS BUSY The primary curriculum group is working on a philosophy of education. They expect to put their findings on record, reports and application blanks into some permanent form. Dr. Haan met with the group to discuss records and reports. He gave practical suggestions on check lists and anecdotal records, and on the new type of report card. This group has observed in the third grade and in kindergarten. The intermediate major work group met with Dr. Woodring last week to disfcuss problems relating to the handling of over-age children, those who are emotionally unstable, and those who are handicapped by unfavorable home conditions. The group also had done considerable observing in the Campus school. The junior high school mathematics group with Miss Edith Sifton as adviser, sponsored a showing of* five motion pictures on precision measurements last Tuesday, July 7. The uses of the micrometer, vernier, and the steel rule were explained as the pictures were shown. On Thursday, July 9. measurements with fixed gauge and standard indicators were shown. The language-arts group under Miss Maxine Nortrirup is engaged in'~ a broad program of study including spelling, short story, essay, poetry, drama, and oral and written composition. PICNIC AT GOOSEBERRY Priminent among the week's major recreational activities was the all-Workshop picnic at Goos'e-berry Point last night. Planned by the recreation committee, this was the final social function of the congenial group which has worked and played together tfiis summer. This week's program has been given over to the educational conference meeting and luncheon, in which all Workshoppers have taken an active part and interest. Next LIEUT. DON BELL, Western Washington college graduate and captain of the 1940 -football team recently informed friends at WWC that he was stationed with a bombing squadron "somewhere in England.' more conference (Continued from Page Two) At the Thursday morning conclave Victor H. Hoppeof the WWC Speech department read Dr. Corey's address on "Learning That Makes a Difference." Dr. Corey was unable to attend Thursday's meetings because the Perry command of the U. S. Army took over his plane in Butte, Mont., Wednesday evening. Thursday afternoon Ernest Campbell took Dr. Corey's place on the program and spoke regarding the duties of teachers in helping the child's school life. SUPERINTENDENTS MEET Meeting in conjunction, with the educational confefehce~the'7past two days have been the county superintendents of the state. Clare Men-denhall, president of the County Superintendents' association, presided at the noon luncheon on Thursday. Miss Maud Rasmussen, visiting instructor oh the campus, presented an address on reading. This morning at S a. m. the superintendents met in room 105 for their annual summer business session. week's schedule will be well-filled with the Inter-American Relations study conference, July 13, 14, and 15, with Paul Pinckney and Miss Delia Goetz. PLANNING MEETING HELD Meeting once each week is a steering committee or planning council consisting of all Workshop Staff members and a representative number of participants. The group acts as a clearing house for problems and questions arising in the smaller work groups/ and plans a schedule for each succeeding week. It is a democratic body, with Dr. Paul Grim, Workshop director, presiding as. informal chairman. All participants are asked to attend at least one planning meeting during the session, but they are all open to any participants who are interested.

Dear Mr. Phillips : :W May I call to your attention an error in last weefc's Collegian-regarding Mr. Bushell—he is not head of the Music department at the college. There are no heads of departments at the college. Each department has a chairman and I have been the chairman of the Music department for the past eight years. The names of these chairmen may be obtained from Miss Church in the President's office. Sincerely yours, Nils Boson. Donald DuShane Predicts Sharp Increase In Teachers' College Enrollment The WWCollegian regrets making the aforementioned error and will take extreme pains to see that it doesn't happen again. ea,m pfi Sometimes it's nice to know what's going on in other colleges all over the country. These are bits gathered from newspapers of other American colleges. * * A non-credit engineering course is being inaugurated in San Jose State College this summer. Training will consist of 200 hours. There is no tuition charge. * * It seems that EWC is having its troubles about their social life. They've dropped their activities for the summer. Might this be due to male scarcity or money scarcity, jiaaybe? * ---* And while on the subject of the male situation, it might be said that Sam Houston State Teachers college reports its ratio of men to women is 1:2.4. * * San Jose students are being asked to save scraps of crayon, colored paper, etc., for the use of the small Japanese children in the assembly centers. * ^ Little quips gathered from here and there may help to raise your spirit level. "Why did you marry such a homely man?" "He asked me." Exchange. * * TIME Time tells on a man—especially a good time. Not only does beauty fade, but. it leaves a record upon the face as to what becomes of it. Campus Crier, CWC DEFENSE DITTIES She lived out in the country, The answer to his desires, But he couldn't take her dancing, Because his flivver had no tires. By JOYCE WATERBURY Predicting a sharp increase in enrollment in teacher's training institutions next fall, Dr. Donald Du Shane, principal speaker at the Professional Relations institute Wednesday displayed his optimism for the teaching future. While strolling on the campus in an after-lunch leisurely fashion, impressively rugged Du Shane amplified his statement my saying that "it's an economic law that when people realize a shortage in a profession, and their assurance of position upon graduation, they are going to train for those openings which, to them, are especially enticing." COMPARE SYSTEMS The grey-haired educational crusader continued his conversation ' then, by drawing a comparison with other sections which spoke very favorably of Washington's educational provisions for the protection of its teaching profession, and educational standards. '*You have the teachers' retire-men plan, the tenure of contract, and disability allotment, as well as many other means of protection. Then, too, he added with a friendly smile which showed his readiness to give praise where praise was due, "your state is among the outstanding states in the Union in educational progressiveness." Rubbing his hand across his face in a habitual manner, Dr. DuShane said of his job, "I spend about one-third of my time as secretary to the National Commission for the defense of Democracy Through Education of the National Education association traveling- through the country helping teachers' groups to promote better public relations and Summer Students Here for Definite Purpose Says Kuder • Summer school students at Western Washington, college are here to fulfill definite requirements in teaching qualifications, according to Dr. M. S. Kuder, registrar. This year the State department has made a special regulation whereby last year's sophomores by going five consecutive quarters instead of six, are to be issued war emergency certificates at the end of summer school next year. There are now thirteen people in school working for war emergency certificates on eleven quarters of work. Many of the older teachers are returning to the field in order to make use of the opportunity to teach. Most of them have life certificates and are enrolled in "Special Problems in Teaching" a course devised chiefly for people who have been out for some time. Students from the 1937 and 1939 classes are back for renewals of five-year and three-year certificates respectively. Another group is completing requirements for principals' credentials. This requires twelve hours in fields such as Curriculum, Methods, Guidances, etc. There also are a number of teachers from other states who are candidates for certificates through the State department for which they are filling out credits. A few students are taking courses to fulfill prerequisites to admittance in other fields or in other colleges. WWC has made an appeal to freshmen encouraging them to begin immediately, as there will be a definite need for these teachers in the future. However, an extremely small number have responded. Other colleges have experienced the same situation. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS aiding them with other problems which face them. The rest- of my time is spent in Washington ,D. C, where our offices are." Then, with the expression of tiredness creep- DR. DONALD DU SHANE ing through his mask of genuine interest, Dr. Du Shane estimated his speaking average while on these tours at two lectures a day. NO DRAFTEES Returning the conversation to a luncheon topic, the educational specialist firmly stated his negative opinion concerning the possibility that male teachers who are drafted will ever be inducted into the army; given a rank, and then returned to their former teaching position as their part in the national war effort. With this note of negativism, the friendly educator turned to join the other leaders in the educational field as they left to attend another of the institute meetings. Students Mai! From \b States • Where do the new students attending Western Washington College this summer hail from? As taken from the records, three-fourths of them are transfer students from other colleges. There are 51 new students representing 10 states and Alaska which has 4, California 2, Idaho 5, Illinois 2, Iowa 1, Maryland 1, Montana 9, Nebraska 1, North Dakota 6, Oregon 19, and South Dakota 1. more on instructors (Continued from Page One) Miss Dunfee is; returning to her -^home in Red Oak, Iowa, via Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, and Denver. Both teachers expressed pleasure at having worked here this summer, Miss Dunfee stating, "I can honestly say that this is a place where both faculty and students alike go out of their way to make one enjoy it here. I can't seem, to believe that the time has gone by so fast." Social Attitudes Of Collegiates Psycholocjzed By LELA KAUFMAN Do you like to see women put on their warpaint in public? If you are a typical college youth, (Do they still have those things?) you definitely don't, while if you are a member of the fairer sex you don't care so much. That is, if statistics are to be believed.. Women, on the other hand, frown much more strongly upon the man who expects a kiss during his first date with a girl than do his fellow men. Then, too, women think it more undesirable to become engaged frequently, whereas " men think swearing in front of a woman is a more grevious fault. Women are more annoyed than men by the person who spills personal confidences, especially if she is a woman. Men rate the individual who can argue without becoming disagreeable on the same high plane as the one with clean-fingernails, while the coeds strongly favor the clean hands. These and many other conclusions, such as high approval by both sexes toward the girls who keep their stockings pulled up, may be read in detail in the Journal of Social Psychology, August, 1941, under the title of "Comparison of the Attitudes of College Men with the Attitudes of College Women in Regard to Fellowship Behavior" - by T. M. Carter. more pro conflab (Continued from Page One) ons, education also is faced with the problem of teacher shortage. PLEADS WITH TEACHERS Because of the influence which the teacher has and because of the trying test through which education is now going, Dr. Du Shane calls upon the teachers to do everything in their power to insure the growth of education. To carry on this fight, he believes that every teacher will have to sacrifice in many ways if education is to survive. Teachers willxhave to forget the possibility of criticism, and not be afraid of a little talk, because they will have to get out to meet and speak with the public. The teacher will have to come out of the classroom more and take the risk of influencing the public more. The educator must appeal to the public and convince the people on the subjects of education. 25% CARRY LOAD Each individual will have to do the work under the supervision of a national organization. Dr. Du Shane feels it is really unprofessional when teachers will sit back and let 25 per cent ol-the members carry the burden of finance and influence. This fight requires an all out effort on the part of every one in the profession. This means that the teacher must take a stand; Mountaineers Pick Ice oh Bakers Dome TRY THE CO-OP First If the Students Use It We Have It. • Just before the sun began to rise last Saturday PPPPP

Forgive me for what you are about to read. Since this is the last Norse Notes that will seep from my weary brain, I begin. Just picture yourself out on the water aboard a sleek steamer with a full silver moon showing down from a cloudless sky. The warm-ness of the air being reminiscent of a hot day now eclipsed by darkness, blowing short gasps simulating the sound of a pair of lounge jitter bugs cooling themselves with an iced drink in the twilight. Well, on this particular night the shore lights blinked and winked approval to many moonstruck couples who were either sitting close together in deck chairs, those were the sensible ones, or the ones that were trying to imitate canibalistic actions while going through the so called modern p r o c e s s of jitterbugging. The steamer itself seemed to catch the mood of the occasion and flattened each rowdy wave with a motherlike slap, slap of her prow. Then the intermission came with the last chorus of a trumpet, not blown,-but hitr like a mallet hits a chime, emitting a tone richness that could come only from the heart. . Did you eyer stop and think just what in the name of heaven jitterbugging is, and how it got started. A lot of us, who claim to be civilized, would rather do the "Texas Rag", or tire ourselves out with an arrangement of "Boogie Woogie" or some other thing, than eat. After visiting and observing at a recent dance just how jitterbugging looks, and especially when not done right, we thought we'd give you a little dope on how it got started. It was during the troublesome times of World War I that jazz first got its start. The most natural center for "this music was New Orleans where it was conceived by the negro bands. Oc-cassionally these negro bands went on tour as far as the Barbary Coast and New York, but remained far under the entertainment headlines. But the premier of jazz occurred on the night of January 26, 1917, when the Dixiefand Jazz Band opened in one of New York's fine restaurants. Nick LaRocca was the leader and he states the crowd that night was simply flabbergasted. Not a soul moved; no one knew what his special number was. But after his rendition of "Margie", that tune with a speciat emphasis, the crowd caught on and immediately jazz swept the nation. Jitterbugging is an a r t . It should be attempted after one solid week's rest, a good healthy diet and a rugged pair of shoes. When done correctly it looks swell, when done incorrectly its just the opposite. If you could only see yourself when jittering incorrectly you'd make a firm resolution never to venture out on any dance floor,, without proper instruction on its finer points.

University Group Will Present Shakespearean Plays Here "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Shakespeare's delightful fantasy, and "The Taming of the Shrew", a rollicking comedy, will be presented in the college auditorium Tuesday, April tenth, at 8:15 p. m. The Royal Theatre Players of the University of Washington will present stylized performances of the two plays. The players are a group of University students from all parts of the country who have spent the last few years starring in the famous Penthouse and Showboat Theatres. The cast presents Shakespeare with such zest and charm that it Photo by E. Blaine Frank Leslie Mapson plays the part ofOberon in "A Midsummer Night'sTDream", and acts Petruchio in "The Taming of the Shrew," which play he also directs. He is the son of a well-known stage favorite, and has carried on the family tradition by his excellent performances in campus productions and Army shows. Kuder—Registrar Dr. Merle F. Kuder, who recently returned to WWC after serving some time in the U.S. Navy, officially took over his position as registrar during the week of spring vacation. Dr. Kuder was registrar here before going into the service, and Dr. Arthur C. Hicks served as acting registrar in his absence. Dr. Hicks has now gone back to full-time teaching and his duties as head of the English department. —Photo by E. Blaine Pictured above is Miss Marrian Walters, star with the Royal Theatre Play?**. Miss Walters plays the part of Helena in "A Midsummer Nights Dream," and is cast as Katherina in "The Taming of the Shrew." ..She is well-known for her stellar performances in the Showboat and Penthouse Theatres, and also acts as director of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." has received great praise from experts. The cutting of the plays has also been praised. Unique sets and beautiful costumes a?e used to catch the period of the plays, and narration, music and quick scene changes are also utilized to accentuate the spirit of the story. Admission will be 65c for adults, and 40c for students, including tax. Tedford-Orphan Present Recital Ethel R. Strange will present two of her students, Doris Tedford and Jean Orphan, in an assembly program next Tuesday. The program follows a pattern from classical to contemporary music. It opens with Bach and continues from the eighteenth century classics through romantic and modern music. First on the program is a duo-piano number and following It is a group of solos by both girls. The program closes with the music of Darius Hilhaud, a contemporary French composer who Is on the faculty of Mills College. Staff Members Meet World Famous War Correspondent Following Talk When the big time newspaperman enters the small college news office and makes himself and his interviewers completely at home, it proves that his reputation as a top notch War Correspondent is justly deserved . . . that he would make any G-I realize that he is one "swell guy". With a single handclasp and smile, William Winter makes you feel that he is your friend. Just returned from the Philippine theater, particularly Leyte and Luzon, this dynamic personality tells with sureness his viewpoints of what America has as her future obligation. "We have too long consulted the past for our pattern for the future; and we must realize that the tactics of Washington and Lincoln are no longer applicable. Rather than trying to plan war strategy for another conflict, we must be concerned with why people go to war and what results they hope to gain from it. It is our duty as college students to discover the needs of our Asiatic neighbors and to understand their way of living. One of the first steps that must be taken is the abolishment of racial prejudices from which will evolve naturally the second and most important step; the knowing of these people. Only from these relations will result a unified Pacific rim." As Mr. Winter continued to an« swer our mass of questions, Dr. Haggard appeared at the door to remind him that the 1:30 bus would not wait, even for an internationally prominent figure. Annual Campus Day Activities Led By Jones And McNally Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones, sophomores, have been appointed as co-chairmen of Campus Day, which is scheduled for May 9. Campus Day is the date on which all students and teachers skip school for one day and go on a glorious picnic, complete with food. Plans for this year's festivities are now underway, but announcement of the place has not yet been made. Local Alcohol Plant Visited By Studes Science, industrial arts and art students, about thirty in all, visited the new Ethyl Alcohol' plant last Thursday, March 29. The plant is part of the Puget Sound Pulp and Timber Company, which held "open house" the last week in March. This modern plant is the only one of its kind in the United States, although Sweden has some twenty such plants. The processes take the waste from the pulp mill, and through cooking, forms a sulphite liquor. The liquor is cooled, treated with lime slurry to counteract acids, and then fermented with yeast in giant barrel-shaped containers which are operated on a continuous set-up. The yeast is removed and the liquid is again heated. The finished product is 190 proof Ethyl alcohol which is used in making synthetic rubber and plastics. Over 5000 gallons per day is the expected output of the plant, at the present cost of ninety cents per gallon. Sixty Campus Coeds Called to Whidby A special invitation from Whidby Island NAS has been extended to sixty co-eds at WWC. Jack Tea-garden, hot trombone man, is making a special engagement at the "Yogi Palace", and the Navy has asked twice as many college girls to be their guests as last time, when some thirty-five girls attended a -Valentine's dance at the base. April nineteenth is the date, Edens Hall the starting place. Girls interested have signed with Lucille Bovee. The dance will be informal. WWC Teacher Joins Council Dr. Arthur C. Hicks of the English department was elected Council member of the American Association of University Professors this week. This organization of college v teachers has chapters all over the United States, Canada, and Hawaii. At present, the membership is just under 17,000, the highest it has been since it was founded thirty years ago. The executive body is called a Council and consists of thirty members; ten are chosen each year so that at all times each district has three members on the council. Dr. Hicks was chosen Council member from district Ten, which is comprised of the Pacific Coast states and Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and Idaho, in addition to Hawaii and British Columbia. During wartime the organization meets once a year. This year the annual meeting will take place in Chicago, on the 18th and 19th of May. Dr. Hicks was the first president of the chapter, when it was founded at WWCE in 1939. At present he is secretary of the chapter, which now has sixteen members. ' Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones are well-qualified to fill their positions of co-chairmen, as both have been active in school affairs. Beverly has served on many school committees, and is chairman of Mothers' Weekend for Edens Hall, which is scheduled April twentieth. Lloyd also is active in extra-curricular work, and is well-known for his cheer-leading at basketball games. Board Picks Three Seattle Delegates Three delegates from WWC have been chosen to attend the Pacific S t u d e n t President's Asociation meeting at the University of Washington. This three day conference will include delegates from Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and British Columbia. The PCPA conference was national before the war, but is now divided into regions because of transportation difficulties. Doris Tedford, ASB president, Joan Haggard and Jean Orphan are the delegates named to attend the conference: UBC Visits Campus Twenty-two UBC students who are doing fifth year work visited the Western Washington campus on Thursday, April 5. They were on the campus during, the noon hour and were accompanied by instructor Jack MerrelX. This group was especially interested in visiting the campus school and viewing its modern educational system.

RUTH BURNET Pub. Adviser Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, April 6, 1945 oMoUali THERE IS A REASON The WWCollegian has been having more than its share of problems this quarter so I'd like to explain a few things before the questions begin to pour in. You've all heard just a little too much about the "man shortage" around here but' because of that factor your college paper?has become a woman's organization. Our main worry," however, is that there can no longer be a sports page unless some of the boys around school will pitch in and help in this crisis We don't like the strictly feminine element ourselves because we know that you who are in the service look to the sports page first, and we feel that we owe a debt to you first of all in sending the news that you want to hear. We've finally banged up against the wall though so while we continue waving the Help Wanted sign we want you to understand that there is nothing we can do—Now. • WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE? Assembly attendance took an . inspirational rise for the better last Tuesday when we had as guest speaker, William Winter, War Correspondent. For that we compliment you, but even more important is the question "Will you be in your place at the next assembly?" There has been a cam- .paign started on campus to make the students see the value of our assembly program. A committee has met'and brought up the pro's and con's of a compulsory assembly attendance. There are of •course arguments for both sides but our assemblies are scheduled and it involves a large expense to bring speakers and performers to our stage for our benefit. It is up to us to- p r o v e ourselves old enough to enjoy these personages who appear at our college. We have a great many people who are well worth seeing and hearing yet students stay away from assemblies in hordes, mainly because they do not realize what they are missing. Until a definite plan of action has been formulated for assembly attendance let's all show - up at those 11 o'clock hours and see what is going on. They are more interesting than many of you think. • SIGN YOUR NAME We received an anonymous letter in the Collegian box last week for the Letting Off Steam column but had to shelf it because no name was attached. As we have said before, we are always willing Letting Off Steam!! One Opinion As an experiment, the Board of Control has put a glass top on one of the lounge tables. Needless to say, this protects the surface of the table, but1 it is costly. It also will make them difficult to stack, as they have been when there are social functions in the lounge. * With help, the tables will stay nice without them. This means using ashtrays and not upsetting them. It means not setting your ice cream bars and wet coke bottles on them, and above all, not marring or nicking the surface by hitting them with hard objects such as ping pong paddles. The Lounge looks nice. Over the vacation the entire floor was refin-ished. It is well worth remembering that the lounge is one place where visiting servicemen and other guests can tell what type of student you are—because cards, chips and cigarette butts all over the floor don't give the impression of tidiness. X.Y.Z. Weather to Suffer The Snows And— We can say one thing about Washington weather — it's changeable. It's a brave man who sets up a weather station, hangs out a thermometer and goes to work as a weather forecaster. All winter long we've waited for at least a little of that pretty white stuff that comes every January. Just when everyone had given up, the March that had come in like a lamb stormed out like a lion. Suddenly realizing that it had concentrated almost entirely on rain, it let down the doors of the heavens and released its store of snow and hail for the whole month. Then as a final resume of the month's weather, a little rain and a few rays of sunlight were thrown in. Whether it was an April fool or just an innocent new month that didn't know that life is not all sunshine, Easter Sunday looked like a newly washed window. According to an old saying, "If it rains on Easter it will rain every Sunday for seven Sundays." Could that mean we'll have seven more sunny Sundays? to print student comments but the name of the writer must be known to the editor before the 'article can be published. 9 CAMPUS DAY Campus- Day is only a month away and it is time we all began to muster a lot of enthusiasm for this big spring event. If you don't know much about it now, ask questions and you upperclassmen that have been on Campus Day's in years past, start the publicity so that everyone will know about our all day picnic. It's great fun for everyone so we want everyone to pitch in right from the first to make it a big success this year. Shall We Have All Attend? "Should we or should we not be compelled to attend assemblies," has been the subject of much discussion among the students this week. In taking a poll around school we found about ^35% of the students in favor .of compulsorary attendance, 55% against, and 10% undecided or didn't care. Some of the student opinions are quoted as follows: Pro: CHERYL SMITH: "—should be compulsory, but with more cots." M A R I L Y N BOORAS: "—the school pays, we ought to go." CYNTHIA SYTSMA: "—all but the musicals." BEVERLY McNALLY: "It is so embarrassing for performers to appear in a half empty auditorium." A L I C E MARIE ANDERSEN: "The assemblies help to build a well-rounded education." Con: NINA GREENWOOD: "We ought to be old enough to know whether or not we wish to attend an assembly." LLOYD JONES: "No." MARILYN ANDERSON: "—Not unless one is interested." P E G G Y C U S T E R : "Nobody should be told they have to do anything." BETTY PEASTER: "—we're paying—." MARGARET RUTLEDGE: "NO." Qa.m vri She: You remind me of the ocean. He: Because I'm wild, daring, and romantic? She: No, because you make me sick.

Weather permitting, many of our outing fans will arise early Saturday morning to sail all the way over to Sinclair Island. We are anticipating a great time at the WWC cabin, and with the island's spacious hiking grounds. The annual swimming meet seems to be the coming thing in the sports world at WWC. Both men and women will be participating-in this riotous event. If you are able to swim and dive with any skill you can sign tip to take part in this meet. Let's make this contest the best ever! In summarizing the nation-wide sport news, we find that Alex Palica, 19-year old pitcher just out of a San Diego high school, made a sensational debut with the Seattle Rainiers Monday night as he held the Padres to three hits and beat them, 12 to 1, in his first professional ball game. This news item might interest all sport fans . . . .from New York comes the information that college football was given a lift by the reappearance of the T-formation. The right to pass from any point behind the line of scrimmage adds punch to the offense while the new rule which allows a substitute to report to any of the officials on the field adds to the game. In the Pacific Coast league we find that the Los Angeles Angels walloped the San Francisco Seals, 16 to 3. Dick Powers stopped the Hollywood Stars for the Sacramento Solons with a score of 9 to 1. The Oakland Acorns counted two runs in the first inning, but from there on, were held scoreless as the Portland Beavers scored nine on 12 hits for a 9 to 2 victory. This win enabled the Beavers to keep pace with the Seattle Rainiers at the head of the Coast league standing. Prom Los Angeles comes word that Bert LaBrucherie, U.C.L.A. halfback from 1926 to 1928, was signed as the Bruins* head football coach for three years. He played on U.C.L.A. elevens under Bill Spaulding, now d sector of athletics, and was on the 1927 team which brought the school its first Southern California conference championship. Here are the results of the DePaul and Oklahoma A. M. game . . . the battle for the final national basketball championship . . . came out wjth a score of 52-44 in favor of the Oklahoma Aggies. Annual Swim Frolic Shows Topflight Stars Set For Intramural Race Spring Sport Fans Schedule Variety WRA held registration in the main hall.Monday and Tuesday of this week. The first activity of the season will be the initiation tea in the Blue Room Wednesday, April 11. All old and new members are urged to attend, for at that time activities for the quarter will be discussed. Intramural Softball With spring on hand, all Softball fans will be out on the baseball diamond next week. This plans to be a whopper of an intra-mural tournament. Last year, the intra-mural meet proved to have a considerable amount of competition between the equally selected teams of men and women. If you are interested in getting into a good old baseball game, sign up on the WRA bulletin board. These turnouts will be held every Thursday afternoon at four, so let's see everyone out there next Thursday prepared to hit a homer. Sailors Go Aboard WRA is sponsoring a boat trip to VT-Queen Lodge on Sinclair Island this Saturday, weather permitting. The mailboat, Osage, leaves the People's Dock at seven a. m. and returns to Bellingham around five o'clock in the afternoon. "Everyone is urged to come as we want this to be a successful trip," stated Barbara teHennepe, WRA outing chairman. Early Birds Limbering Here in the WWC pool will be staged the annual swim meet. This year's date is the 20th and when that day arrives many proficient swimmers will be out to break a record. ; Today the roster for the Big Annual Swim Frolic was closed with a likely looking bunch of splashers on hand. The girls competition looks exceptionally strong with many star performers returning for another try at the records. With Spring sports taking over, many a sore back, arm and leg may be seen about the old campus. Many an early bird found the weather a bit too chilly for limbering up the pitching arm or the tennis racquet. George Jurgens almost broke his back in trying out his service in the net sport. However, Chug-Chug is looking for some cat-gut competition, and has high hopes of getting an intra-mural tennis meet underway, if not a.team of club swingers. BASEBALL STARS Jack Danley, a new freshman has been showing good form on the tennis courts this spring. A left-handed punch has been exhibited by Tom Riddle, a former Gonzaga boy. Lloyd Jones is back playing his usual rock 'em, sock 'em type of tennis. Bob Pavlicek, a shorty himself, believes in grabbing the racquet by« the throat, and using it in much the same manner as a ping pong paddle. Jack Graham has shown well in early season turnouts with the Bellingham Bells and may make a starting position on the semi-pro -nine. Jim Gilday the standby shortstop for the Bells has also been turning out on week-ends. LUNCrfES SANDWICHES Crystal Ackerman, who set a new 25 yard womens back stroke record last year, may be out trying to lower the mark. Other standbys and top female performers are Iris Bowden, a fine stylest Alice Marie Anderson, an all event performer, Jean Hochsheid a Portland product with outstanding aquatic ability. DARK HORSES Jean has a powerful crawl stroke and has shown amazing ability. Another swimming class likely is Pat Fromely. who may surprise us in any of the events. Among the few boys in school this quarter there has been a decided lack of enthusiasm for this big annual event. The free style events have attracted the most interest, with Loyd Jones, the favorite, to take most of the events. Jones last year placed a close second to Paul Foster, the Lake Chelan champ, in the 50 yard free style jaunt. Competition in the 50 and 100 yard go's will be offered to Dale Burklund, a swimming class prospect, Bob Pavelicek, the Snohomish buzzbomb, and Jack Graham, the big Canadian boy. ~I FOSTER MISSING With the absence of Paul Foster, a likely record breaker, very much in evidence, the swim affair this year will lack it's usual color and diving exhibition. However, the Blue Barnacles will give a ballet and water exhibition. The green enthusiastic competition should add a great deal of fire to the meet. El. Anderson, in charge of getting the roster filled is doing a magnificent job. The Blue Barnacles helped by the other girls organizations, has a well planned program with as such color added as possible for the material available. "There will probably be few, if any, records broken on the 20th," explained Mrs. Christensenj "but we hope that close races and good competitive spirit will make the meet a; success."

Well we've tried hard, very hard, to write our thoughts of this fifth war time college year and we hope we haven't irked you too much. We've enjoyed every moment of it, even though that Thursday morning deadline was a bit tough to make sometimes. Before I put my antiquated Underwood to bed for the remainder of the duration, I'd like to pay tribute to one of the finest and grandest men that I've ever known. This man possesses great energy and enthusiasm for the school and its students and former students. I admire him for his faithfulness to a major share of former students, who are in the service, so that we may enjoy and have the things they are fighting for. His letters to his boys, as he puts them, are a never ending joy. GEORGE DACK, even though he isn't blessed with a so-called modern cultural background, that so many of us seemingly think we have, gets my vote for Western Washington's grand old man. I'm proud to say, as would hundreds of others, that he is my friend, and that his philosophy and wise sayings will live long in my memory during my journey through life. "30" Well, this is the last NORSE NOTES to be turned over to edit-oress Bovee. In the not too distant future, and with God's grace, I am hoping to be with the Maritime School for officer candidates at Alameda, Calif. So to all my friends, and my always faithful reader, MR. HURD, I say just "so long," not "good bye". Goodbye is too final and I know, as all of us know, that with our resourcefulness and with lots and lots of that famous Yankee spirt, "it'W be a short game." Nu-Way Shoe REBUILDERS 107 W.

House Howls Have you ever come across a question in a newspaper or magazine and wondered about it? Perhaps you disagreed. Have you ever had the urge to Write out your views? College students are the people who should be reading and thinking and Writing about the questions and problems confronting our country and world today. Whether we agree or disagree, it is we who are affected by the problems, and it is We who must decide what is to be done. Thinking is really not enough; there must be action. Share your views and talk about them. We are going to provide a chance to share views. It will not be blowing off steam, but rather a discussion of opinions. A current problem will be chosen each week and the best answers will be printed. It is • not for just a few, but for all the students to make suggestions and give your answers.

The principal issue involved concerned the 1948-49 expenditures for the WWCol-legian. According to a report from Alton Magnuson, present business manager, total cost qf publishing the new tabloid-size eight page paper for the entire school year would run approximately 31,100 more than was approved under this year's ASB budget. DR. VAN AVER ON BOARD While attending the Par East conference at Central Washington college, Ellensburg, April 28-30, Dr. Albert Van Aver, of the WWC English department, was elected to the executive committee of the Planning Committee on the Par East in Higher Education. Rankin Vice Presidentr Hodges and Hannah On Board of Contro|| Bill Jones was elected Wednesday to head the student body for the year 1949-50. He was chosen in an election which had the largest number of votes cast in the history of Western. : ..I Loren Rankin was voted in as Jones' helpmate on the vice presidential ticket. Cecil Hannan and Barbara Hodges were elected four quarter man and four quarter woman to the Board of Control, respectively. The amendment, which is for the addition of four members to the Board of Control, was passed by a vote of 406 for and 44 against. . Gus Pagels and Fred De Bruler, incumbent ASB president and vice-president respectively, In the absence of the fall quarter editor and manager, Mrs. Ruth Burnet, publications adviser, was present to explain to the board why the Collegian's finances show a potential deficit. She said that the tabloid-size paper, adopted for the first time last fall, contains about 1000 more words and costs about $30 more per issue, and that the cost of printing labor and news stock rose sharply last October. Mrs. Burnet also pointed out that the advertising for the tabloid paper did not average 150 inches per issue as the fall quarter editor had estimated when seeking the board's authorization for the change. George Dowd, fall quarter editor is being contacted in Washington, D. C. for a statement since the discussion leading to the adoption of the tab-ibid does not appear in the minutes of the board. Board members expressed the opinion that they should have been informed of this situation sooner. They concurred in the belief that a solution must be found to offset the deficit if possible. Several suggestions were made concerning the best method for curtailing Collegian expenditures for the remainder of this year. The board asked that these suggestions be passed on to the publications staff, and that the staff present, the most feasible plan for approval at next Wednesday's board meeting. QUESTIONNAIRE READY Dr. Maurice Freehill, chief of the Bureau of Research, reported that the questionnaire prepared by the Faculty-Student Committee on Ex-tra- Curricular Activities is ready for use. Conclusions drawn from the results of the quiz will be utilized by the committee in planning improvements in next year's activity schedule.

PREXY GUS PAGELS CONGRATULATES NEWLY ELECTED JONES Nominees Speak in Election Campaign Assembly Tuesday Bearded men, a swing band, and a three ring circus were in evidence at last Tuesday's election campaign assembly. Chairman Fred DeBruler announced the candidates and their managers, while Gordie Ford's band furnished musical interludes between speeches to approximately 200 interested students. First to speak were two girls up for four-quarter woman. They made respective vows to represent students to the best of their ability. Four male candidates for four-quarter man or woman, cleverly introduced by their campaign managers, presented their qualifications, gave their respective ideas on current issues of student government, funds and services. Building up interest were three candidates for the hotly contested office of vice-president who were introduced by various displays of humor and stunts. The only woman competing was followed to the rostrum by the two men running for the post. ; Dateline Friday, May 6—AWS-Norsemen assemblies. Baseball, golf, and tennis, Seattle U.

Pagels said, "It was swell. The kids really responded this time and flocked to the polls." De Bruler stated that the publicity people did a swell job, especially.the committee chairman, Ned Baker. They both agreed that this was a wonderful record and hoped that, in the future, it would be broken many times. 70 PERCENT VOTED.

Praise Should Go To Ned Baker and Students For Election Success It's all over but the shouting and there's plenty of time for that in the future. Usually when one turns to this spot in the weekly blow—one is likely to read of the grievances of either you, the students, or we, the students, or some sleepy-eyed individual. After the fine (or even spectacular) turnout in Wednesday's election, we haven't the heart to gripe. Possibly not all your candidates, or ours either for that matter, came through wtih flying colors, but the thing that counts is the representation and school spirit involved. Campaigning has been on a scale unprecedented in recent years. The fact that no small amount of politics was brought into play in the latter part of the compaign gave the finishing touches to a colorful battle-royal. Up until the final minutes of polling, it was anybody's party, and the total of 891 votes cast more than proved that those elected were chosen by a true majority of the student population. And why was the total number voting larger than ever before? You undoubtedly have your own opinions, but compare yours with this one of ours and see if you don't agree. Did you notice those walking footsteps in Hie main hall and hear that booming voice yelling out to one and all to vote? Did you listen to that soothing phonograph music drifting up and down the halls during the entire day? To us, these seemed sure ways to get the students out to vote. The one mainly responsible for these undertakings was Western's new pep chairman, NED BAKER, who has really done a fine job since he took over the reins and deserves the backing of every spirited member of the student body. ^ co$f BONGO-BONGO—A T.C.U. senior recently gave a speech in his public-speakmg class entitled, "All Music and Why I Hate It." At the St. Patrick's Day dance someone remarked to him, with reference to the way he was stomping around, that he apparently had overcome his aversion. "No," he answered, "I'm only here as a missionary." • • • "I WONT DANCE"—Rumor has it that the males at the University of Washington are nothing but duds when it comes to tripping the light fantastic. The whole sordid affair came to the surface when a publicity agent for a name band came to the Daily, office to make arrangements for news releases. He said, to-wit: "College men are poor dancers. There is no agility in them." The editor, being a man, naturally sent out an inquiring reporter to uncover the facts. Seems the ballyhoo artist was right. The only concession the girls would make was to admit that the foreign students were wonderful dancers. * * * DIXIE COP—A student from a southern university was hauled into cburt recently for pilfering fruit from a fruit stand. The judge fined him ten dollars for impersonating a policeman. Sounds like right around home. SORRY, WRONG MODEL—With an assignment slip reading, "Get a picture of model Miss Basin in the civil engineering building," a camera-wielding student from an I.S.U. press photography class eagerly searched said building for a feminine model named Miss Basin. His journalistic ^•iovwjas crushed when a smiling engineering prof asked, "Could you by chance be looking for our scale model of the Mississippi River Basin?" Spring Not Such Joyous'Occasion By DORICE PUTNAM "What a lovely way to spend a spring day."

Everything has been completed except for stenciling the doors, and this is expected to be finished tomorrow. Bill Radcliffe, chairman of the renovation committee, said that about $150 has been spent on the job and that considerable money 4tas; been saved through the fine cooperation of the students in volunteering to supply the labor.* r A great deal of time and effort was contributed by students who gave up their Saturdays to help out, and, as Radcliffe put it, "To say.:that we appreciate the work done by these people is hardly adequate." ...Among the persons who worked on the. lounge was Ken Blakeley, who designed and painted most of the figures on the coffee bar. Lois French, Hugh Slagle, and Ralph Brown designed the stencils, and Bob Sarvis arid Bob Gallmeyer cut the plywood, which amounted to about 400 running feet.

Organized by its director, Coleman Cooper, in 1935, it is an American version of the Vienna Boys' choir, world-famous before the war. The fact that the Apollo choir has surpassed all standards set by the European visitors has been firmly established by America's leading critics. During the past ten years the choir has filled more than 800 engagements on artist courses. The boys have appeared with several of the nation's finest symphony orchestras, and over all the major networks, singing on the Bell Tele- Wc s t e r n # Wa ski n gt COLLEGIAN May 6, 1949 WWColIegian, Bellingham, Washington Page 3 fudges for the event have not been announced as yet.

Other of their professional appearances were at the Waldorf- Astoria and Town Hall in New York; the White House and National Art gallery in Washington; the Bach Festival in Florida; and in joint recitals with such celebrated artists as Gladys Swarthout and Helen Traubel. Mr. Cooper, a foremost authority on training boys' voices, studied with the Vienna choir and is recognized among the finest of vocal directors. His patience and initiative are largely responsible for the success of the choir. Free tickets for the concert are available in the business office for students who plan to attend. "Sailing to See" to Show Scenes of South Sea Sailings "Sailing to See," a color movie narrated by Kirby Atturbury, is scheduled for next Tuesday's assembly program. It tells the exciting story of a cruise on the schooner "Yankee," which took a crew of amateurs around the world on an 18 month voyage. They sailed from Gloucester, Massachusetts, to the South Seas and back via the Cape of Good Hope and the West Indies. In selecting his crew, Captain Irving Johnson signed on Kirby Atter-bury as photographer, equipping him with 30 cameras, and deep sea gear for photography. "Sailing to See" resulted as an unusual and entertaining film. Mrs. Johnson, her two small children, and several young wives kept the cruise homelike through calm seas and storms. The cost of the jaunt was shared by the volunteer crew of which the cook was the only professional member. Wanderlust and the desire for excitement led the young Americans to the Galapagos islands, where tons of tuna were caught with rod and line; to Tahiti; to New Guinea, famous for crocodile hunting; and to Tarawa, famous for its huge outrigger canoes. Wherever the "Yankee" anchored, the camera recorded a lifelike picture which has been shown for such sponsors as Melville Grosvenor of the^ National Geographic. Junior Outing Off Postponement of the junior class picnic was made necessary by the many conflicting activities taking place this week. In making this announcement, Art Runestrand, class president, said that a tentative date of Tuesday, May 24, has been set. The picnic is to be held at Calmor Cove and will include a salmon bake, boating and dancing. Meredith Hess, John Pill, Bettyjane Christie, Rose Mary Dewar, Loren Rankin, Ruth Soderstrom and Jean Seelye are working on the arrangements. AWS, Norsemen Programs Today Holding separate assemblies this morning, both the AWS and Norsemen's club presented programs of special interest to their members. "Miss Norsemen of WWC," Janet Harris, reigned at the Norsemen assembly. Miss Harris, the club's entry in the "Miss Whatcom County and Blossom Festival Queen" contest, entertained her sponsors with the selections she plans to sing in the competition. Nomination of officers was concluded at the Norsemen assembly, and following this, moving pictures of the 1948 World Series were shown. The AWS meeting featured a fashion parade showing summer and spring costumes for class, sports, dancing, and graduation, with several students participating as models. Co-chairmen of the AWS assembly were Ruby Johnson and Kay Beatty. s, Ross Attend Far East Problems Discussed At PCFEHE Convention Problems of contemporary Russia, China, and Japan were discussed at the conference held by the Cooperative Endeavor of the Planning Committee on the Far East in Higher Education.. The meeting was held at Central Washington college, Ellensburg, April 28-30. Miss Nora B. Cummins and Dr. Albert Van Aver, WWC faculty members, attended the study sessions. "* Emergence of Soviet political organization and its ideological development was the first subject dealt with. Dr. William B. Ballis, professor of Russian government and politics at the University of, Washington, explained the workings of the current Russian government.' According to Dr. Ballis, who served as assistant naval attache in the American embassy at Moscow during 1945-6, the Russian people are now allowed to participate in the government far more than at any time since the reign of the czars. He said that although there is only one party for which the people can vote, they are encouraged to exercise this right. Every effort is expended in this direction, and voting booths have even been set up on trains for the convenience of travelers. "Progress in Solving Chinese Basic Problems" was the topic for discussion Friday morning. Dr. Alfred Kuo-ling Ho, who spoke on the subject, was well informed on the situation, having lived and studied both in the United States and China, He felt that the present Chinese government, the Kuomintang party, had failed and that a new form was needed. Dr. Ho also spoke on China's international relations. At the same session. Professor Franz Michael, asistant director of the Far Eastern institute at the University of Washington, gave an address in which he told of the present status and prospects of the Kuomintang party. Agriculture, he stated, was the basic problem confronting the Chinese. The Communists have inspired hope among the people (Continued on Page 10) Pageh Education Meeting Dr. Alan Ross, Ann Pearson, Bill Morton, and Gus Pagels, Board of Control members, attended the Evergreen Student Government conference at Central Washington college, Ellensburg, April 29-30. DORM COUNCDL Pagels, ASB president, reported there was one very interesting plan observed which the board hopes to install at Western. They learned that both Central and Eastern colleges have student participation in disciplining actions of students. Each dorm and organized house has its own student dorm council which judges and passes upon violation of rules and conduct. If the misdemeanor is too serious it is passed on to a joint student-faculty committee for action. This board includes the dean of men, the dean of women, two other faculty members, and four students elected by the student body. Pagels stated that both Central and Eastern spend a smaller percentage of their budgets on athletics than Western does. Eastern's will be almost as large as that of WWC, but he pointed out that this amount is divided among eleven different sports. Pagels also reported that the college newspapers at the two other colleges of education are published for less than the Collegian costs the student body here. Pagels learned also at the conference that the governing bodies of both Eastern and Central are made up of representatives from- dorms, or clubs. Western, of all the schools represented, was the only institution at which every student member of the Board of Control is voted upon by the entire student body. WWC HEADS PANEL During the two day ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1949 May 6 - Page 4 ---------- Western's Thinclads Meet Eastern Tomorrow Western's Vikings Took a Split With St. Martin's Baseball Club Tuesday; Winning Opener and Losing Nightcap Western's baseball nine wound up with a split last Tuesday after winning the first game of a double-header 3 to 2. St. Martin's led the way all through the nightcap to rack up a score of 9 to 5. In the first inning of the opener Lee Stout, Western shortstop, batted home Jerry Karnofski to give the Vikings first blood. Cliff Simpson let fly with a double late in the third to bring the score to 2-0. Hal "Mutt" Partlow hit for a single, stole second, and scored on a single by Simpson in the fifth. Russ Nielson, Vik starting pitcher, held the visiting Rangers scoreless until the fourth when they tallied on a walk and a single. Chandler, of the Marts, doubled in the seventh and scored on an Infield .error. The • Rangers were unable to hit after that and pitcher Steve Kuljis, who relieved Nielson at the start of the sixth, fanned the last two Marts up. MARTS BREAK LOOSE „ In the nightcap St. Martin's scored in the second off Tom "Taylor, Vik pitcher. The Rangers cut loose in the fourth to tally four times, after Taylor walked two men and his relief, Dick Patterson, allowed four hits. In the seventh Long, of the Rangers, hit a single and Erwert blasted the ball over the left field fence for the longest blow of the game. It took the Viks until the last of the seventh before they could hit the Ranger pitcher, .Manchewka, hard enough to score. When the Viking nine began rolling^ they chalked up five runs before they could be shut off. Viks Tennis Squad Whips St. Martin's Suffering a single loss out of seven matches, Western's tennis squad thoroughly trounced St. Martin's in racquet competition last Tuesday on Western's home courts. This makes the second time the Viks have scored heavily against the Marts. In their first meeting the Viks took all their matches. Individual scoring for Tuesday's matches are: George Sutherland (WWC) defeated Baer (St. Martin's) 6-3, 6-1. Sterling Brand (WWC) defeated Monnion (St. Martin's), 6-0, 6-2.

It seems the WRA is sailing May 28 for a three day cruise to Sinclair island. A Sea Scout boat will carry the girls around the islands for their three days of fun. The first fifty girls to sign up will go, but a dollar is required for a reservation. For you concerned, here is an estimate of what the cost will be—about $4.25 for. town girls and $1.75 for campus girls. Pat Graves, from Senior hall, ds chairman of the excursion. Badminton, tennis, and archery were run off this past week, and the following girls will represent WWC in Ellensburg May 16: Nancy Johnson, Helen Piatt, and Marianne Yeager for tennis; and June Carrick and Gertrude Baker for badminton.

The scoring went: CWC first with 90 points, WWC second with 48 points, and St. Martin's trailing with 24 points. Western captured three first), with Dave Grocott taking the half mile in 2:05, Bill Shannon cutting his two mile time remarkably to cross first in 10:43.5, and big Jeff Russell chucking the pointed stick 184 feet 5 inches to take the javelin. Wes Peterson gave Central's Drit-tenbras a good race, finishing close behind him in the 440. Winning time was 52.5.

Fresh from the torrid clime of Central, where they dropped their meet last Saturday, the Viks are geared for a swing on their own track. As far as the sprints are concerned it appears as if Eastern will be in line for first in the 100 and 220. That is if Brewer doesn't fall below his :10.3 mark in the century, and :22.2 mark in the 220 from the meet last week with Montana U. In the 440, Teterson should be a natural for a first, considering his showing against Central; Carlton of Eastern placed third against Montana, against the time of :51.9, but just how far is the determining factor. WIN POSSIBLE IN HALF If Grocott times another 2:05 half appearances would seem to show another first for the Blue and White. T. Corpine clocked a 2:06.1 first against Montana, In the mile F. Corpine's 4:38.5 time against Montana seems destined to be the factor which will give Eastern another first. However, Shannon will be in there to give him a good fight. The lows will offer a good fight. Eastern's Carlton was second against Montana against the jtime of :26 flat. In the same meet Hoon took second in the highs against a time of :15.4. . ; If Shannon drops as much off his two mile time this week as he did last week, then the outcome might produce a first for the Viks. However, Berry of Eastern was secoiid against a time of 10:21.0 . . .so? | JEFF MAY HAVE IT TOUGH Big Jeff Russell is going to have some competition from Eastern's Stephans. Against Montana, Ste-phans chucked the javelin 184 feet 5% inches; however, Jeff can te counted upon to come through hi the tight spots, usually, so I would say another five points for Western! If Gayda can clear 12 feet tomor-^ row, which he has come close to doing,1 then he will be good for at least a tie for the number one spot in the pole vault. j In the high jump Whitehill of Eastern will undoubtedly take first if he doesn't go too far below his 5 foot 11% inch jump against Montana. \ Eastern's relay team is a good prospect to win. They took the event from Montana in 3:28.0. "'. This meet tomorrow is going to be a good one, win or lose for the Vlksf. The times above are merely used for comparative purposes arid' do* not mean, and shouldn't be used, for any more than that. \ \ BORNSTEIN SEA FOODS Largest Assortment of Sea Foods in the Northwest CENTER OF HOME MARKET PHONE 882 T-Shirts With College Emblem • STUDENTS CO-SUPERIOR TO THE RESCUE OF THIS WESTERN CO-ED... • 207 Chestnut • 2307 Meridian • 3rd Street in Ferndale ••*%• :vT-^jTC-:arr3a5gg;: ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1949 May 6 - Page 5 ---------- Snjgi; ••••s-r- • ; . . ; • • . . . , Wednesday X OFFICIAL PROGRAM Northwest Blossomtime Festival ..May 11th..

In doing this he hopes to cut down on the game losses of his squad. He gave his reasons for using so many players before as being a desire to give as many players as possible a chance to win letters. VIKS TO PLAY UBC Tuesday, May 10, the Vikings journey north across the border to play a conference game with the Thun-derbirds of the University of British .Columbia. This will be the first meeting of the Vikings and Thun-derbirds for this season.

In last week's edition (April 29, 1949), there was an article on page three I n which the debate between Mr. Cheever and Dr. Murray at the last meeting of the Social Science club was reported. I have two complaints to make on the reporting of this debate. First, there is some feeling that the reporting of Mr. Cheever's side of the debate was inadequate. Secondly, if the person who reported on this debate will check in his style book (on Collegian policy), he will find that the first time anyone's name is used in an article, it is prefixed with the word mister or doctor (abbreviated of course). Thereafter, if that person is a member of the faculty, out of due respect the prefix is added each time that person's name is used. Thank you for your consideration. DICK ROBISON, Social Science club. (Editor's Note: The Collegian attempts to be objective in all straight news not under a by-line. It does not feel that the article was biased to favor either speaker, but apologizes if any feelings were trampled. Dick Robison's second point is slightly erroneous. The style book states, "Never use Mr. with the man's name when first mentioned. Use his first name and initials. The second time use with or without title. The title 'Dr.' is used every time mentioned, and the title *Mr.' usually out of courtesy to faculty v members, but not always." We apologize to Mr. Cheever for bur Jack of courtesy, but point out to Robison that it was not a direct : breach of policy. o • HOTEL LOBBY HOBBY i No muscle required, No strain on the bean; fNitwits' delight— The pinball machine. ; The ball zig-zags, Lighted numbers keep score on : This game of machine, Luck, and a month.

See page 3 Edwin Espy Stresses Need For Student Aid Funds By Elaine Ringstad • "Yes, I represent the World Student Organization," began Edwin Espy, over his lunch tray in the Edens hall club room. "At present, my work deals mainly with student volunteer funds." "How did I happen to enter this field' of work?"1 he smiled. "Well, to tell the truth, I planned to become a minister and studied for this profession in New York. I was sent to Germany in 1933 to continue my studies, and it was there that I became interested in international service work. "I attended three universities in Germany," Espy continued, smoothing his brown hair, "one of which was the University of Heidelburg. After finishing school I worked from headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, doing international student service work. My headquarters now are in New York," he added. Addressing a group in the Edens hall club room, Mr. Espy stated that through the efforts on the part of students $100,000 is to be raised for the relief of suffering all over the world. This money will be. used in three ways—for prisoners of war, for pre-war refugees, and for internal civilians (enemy aliens). "Do you know," he explained, "that one dollar in American money will buy food for a Chinese student for a whole month, while $20 will take care of all his expenses for a year? A dime to a Chinese student means more than ten times what it means to us." "I hope," he concluded, "that you will start a drive in your college to help raise the money that is so needed in aiding students around the world." s • Sailor Reported Dead Comes Home; Was In Japs Cowardly Hawaiian Raid By Harold Loop • "It's sure swell to be home and not dead as has been reported," smiled Buster Schlafer, one of the surviving sailors from the sunken battleship Arizona. Buster's parents were informed just.-before. Christmas,, that, their- son,.had died in-action -when Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japs; they had something to cele- ' brate New Year's day when a telegram came from Buster saying, "I am well." The mistake occurred when Buster was wounded and was unable to answer roll call after the first raid; all who did not muster were believed dead or lost. He was lucky; only his right collar bone was broken. "I was hanging out clothes on deck getting ready to go ashore for the day when all of a sudden a whole squadron of planes swooped down on us, dropping bombs; machine guns were spitting death to all who were in their path," Buster said, with his big brown eyes flashing a look that only "one who was there" could demonstrate. "At first we were confused and couldn't believe what we were seeing. The planes came down so low you could almost reach up and grab them as they dove by. As soon as everyone realized what was happening we all ran to our posts and started firing at the diving planes," he said. "My job was feeding shells from the side of the ship to a 14-inch turret gun. We were firing as rapidly as possible at every plane that came by." "The places that were bombed first were the,run-ways of the airports, making them so rough that our planes couldn't take off to pursue them'. Our ship was anchored to the dock so we couldn't escape being bombed. An officer called for 25 volunteers to go up on top deck and run anti-aircraft guns. The officer said,"Men, when you go up there it's .going to be terrible; all the men up there are either dead or exhausted so you know what you are up against.'" Buster and 24 other sailors volunteered and they proceeded to the anti-aircraft gun nests. "It was one of the most horrible sights I have ever seen," Buster stated, as he shifted his well developed body back in his chair. "You couldn't even tell who most of them were. We were all very calm, and determined that we would carry out our part of the plan to repay the dirty Japs for what they had done to our buddies. v "When I was up with the anti-aircraft guns I looked up and saw a bomb falling. .Two boats were destroyed with the one bomb. "We shot those little two-man suicide submarines as if we were shooting clay pigeons," Bus said, showing his big, likeable smile. "A two-man submarine was in the harbor but some of our boats couldn't shoot it for fear of hitting each other. One of our destroyers deliberately passed" directly above it. and as they did, dropped two or three depth bombs. The bombs blew the little submarine clear out of the water; as it came out, other ships opened fire on it and blew it to bits. "Another incident that happened showed how us fellows felt towards the sneaking yellow bellies. *A marine shot down a plane (Continued on Page Two) • • * DATELINE Friday, January 23— Basketball with Seattle Independents at PE building, 8 p.m. Saturday January 24— Edens hail informal, Edens hall Blue room. 9-12 p. m. , CCF Fireside, 1212 Indian St..

The morale of the air corps should be increased by leaps and bounds, according to Shirley Olson, head of the date bureau at Edens hall, because eighteen girls have asked boys from Paine Field to the informal. Committees under Jo Needham, general chairman, are: invitations and acknowledgments, Margaret Lewis, chairman, Marion Barbee, Kay Byrnes, Dorothy Bell, Jane Aus; decoration, Virginia Bell and Jean Van Brocklin, co-chairmen, Gloria Swanson, Shirley Olson, Ruth Bullock, Ellen Van Wieringen, Jeanette Bright, Betttf Deford, Helen Stoddard, Margaret Richards, Jane Aus, Dorothy Louden; programs, Nancy Shaw, chairman, Alice Knowles, Rosemary Watts, Betty Deford, Dorothy Allan, Clin-ta Campbell, Ruthe Olds; orchestra, Cheryl Smith. New Defense Classes Full • Response to defense courses has been very good," says Dr. Merle S. Kuder, registrar. "Some of the courses have full enrollment already, for instance, Home Nursing, with 13 members, and all three First Aid courses." Other new courses are Political Science 53 and 153, given in two sections, one Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4, and the other Thursday night, by Miss Nora Cummins, with an enrollment of 16 (both from college and town), and PE 20, a course in military training, held Tuesday night, which will drill at the Armory, using State Guard equipment. Men in the PE 20 course do not automatically become members of the State Guard, however. Two more new courses, Speech 121, Radio Technique, which is given Monday night by R. J. Ernst, and Industrial Arts 77, a blueprint reading class under Charles Rice, are full to overflowing, says Dr. Kuder. In these classes the problem will be to accommodate the number of students; they may have to be divided into two sections. Women Assist In USO Party • Fifteen girls of the college again played hostesses to a group of soldiers at the home of Dr. F. C. Rykken last night. . Miss Lorraine Powers, dean of women, stated that the role of junior hostess was not one of a personal nature but one, solely, for the entertainment of the men in the service. Miss Powers also said that the College has been highly commended for its excellent cooperation with the committee members of this United Service Organization in order to establish this entertainment for the soldiers. ,; No plans are made in advance for. these parties and the girls go who have free evenings. CCF Firesides • The College Christian Fellowship group will hold its first fireside meeting of the quarter at the home of Mr. and Mrs; Fred Hanson/ 1212 Indian street, Saturday, ^January 24, at 7:45 ,pj m.

Arctic Explorer Bushell's Symphony Orchestra Will Speak ' r At Assembly To Present Concert Sunday Kellems, Alaskan Adventurer, Will Illustrate Lecture With Movies in Color . • "Alaska in the World Picture Today" is the title of the lecture* to be given by Dr. Homer Flint Kellems, Alaskan explorer, in the regular assembly Tuesday, January 27. Dr. Kellem will illustrate his lecture with motion pictures of Alaska in natural color. Dr. Kellems has made five expeditions to the Arctic regions, and has spent a number of' years in Alaska on special missions for the United States government. Dr. Kellems originated the movement for a memorial at Point Barrow in honor of the late Will Rogers and Wiley Post; he organized and carried out the expedition which placed the memorial on the point in 1938. A search -along the east Arctic coast for the six lost Russian flyers was made by Dr. Kellems in 1939. "I believe we are very fortunate to have Dr. Kellems in assembly. As Alaska is now in a far more important position than it was before the outbreak of the war, this lecture will be timely as well as interesting," says Dr. W. W. Haggard. Blue Triangle Menu Featured in Drive For More Students • Using an international menu as their theme, Blue Triangle has started their annual drive to raise funds for imprisoned fellow students. All over the world, the greatest number of prisoners in concentration camps are students, people who are slowly going insane, and in some cases, starving, from lack of occupation and nutriment for mind and body. Dividing their $50 international menu into $10 for soup, $15 for salad, $15 for meat, and $10 for dessert, Blue Triangle members have, this week, placed soup cans at various places on the campus. It is their hope that students and faculty members will fill the soup cans and next week, the salad bowls. If they are filled, this school will be helping student sufferers in Europe and China to find relief through books, sporting-goods, musical instruments, and food that the World Student Service Fund enables them to have.

There will be no tryouts for this organization— members will be obtained by invitation. A word about ORCHESIS: It is a Greek word meaning the art of expressive gesture, and was started in 1916 at the University of Wisconsin and gradually was adopted by other colleges and universities. Of the 105 dance clubs in colleges now, 35 call themselves Orchesis. • BIDING—Much enthusiasm has been shown for riding. The first ride will be today at 4, so all you riding fans—we'll be seeing you.

He ran after the ship when it hit the ground to see if the pilot was dead. The pilot wasn't hurt badly and started to get out. The great com-radship and love the marine felt for him dead buddies made him see only revenge for .this yellow little Jap. Instead of shooting him ,the marine ran up and let-him taste the steel of his basinet, •finishing him right in his cockpit." Buster grinned and said, "As long as us fellows feel like that the Japs can never win." "I was hurt just after I came down from the anti-aircraft gun. A bomb or torpedo hit right next to the TJ»at, and it knocked me over backwards into a shell conveyer that carried shells up to a 5-inch broadside gun. Luckily the conveyer was out of order or probably I would have been killed," he said. For the next hour or so Buster didn't know exactly what happened. He was struck so hard he was stunned. One of Buster's pals had broken his legs at the same time and was unable to move. Without knowing what he was doing, Bus picked up, and carried him on deck where he was taken care of. If Buster's friend had been left below deck he probably would have died from gas and oil fumes. This took place while Bus was still stunned. He didn't know about it until two days later when he was in the hospital, and his buddy thanked him for saving his life. With his shoulder blade cracked, Buster went on duty that night with a close friend. They built a sand bag nest to hide in and were ready with their rifles for enemy planes. An officer came and said, "this is a swell place for a machine gun; have you fellows had any experience with one? Neither of them had, but they wanted a machine gun, so Buster said. "Hell, yes, bring it on." A 30 calibre machine gun was brought and mounted for them. After the officer left, Buster took a few practice shots into the darkness. "An officer came up and bawled us out," he said, smiling, "but now we knew how to use the thing. Pretty soon some airplanes came diving in at us, and we opened fire on them." Buster's buddy said, "Shoot them just like you would a duck; be sure and lead them a little bit." Both sailors cracked jokes and enjoyed the excitement. A plane swung in low from the west over the landing field; as it came in range Buster trained his machine gun on it, as did two or three other fellows, with machine guns. "I pressed the trigger and fire spurted death at the plane, then it suddenly twisted, crazily and turned earthward, cracking to bits." Two days later Buster and a friend that had been shell-shocked were swimming at the beach. Bus was lying on the sand when his friend stood up and and suddenly became dizzy, from the shell shock. He fell, striking Buster on his cracked shoulder blade, which knocked the bone out of place. Buster was unable to move his arm, and it was immediately put in a cast. He was sent back to the States with the other wounded soldiers. About a week ago the cast was removed from his shoulder and he was given leave of absence. Buster doesn't know how long he will be off duty at the present time. "I would just as soon get back in the battle and help finish the Japs," he said, "I know now we will at least have a fighting chance, and we. will never be taken by surprise again." - It's Skiing Time dtwwc..: YOUR STUDENT CO-OP Has SKIS and All SKIING EQUIPMENT Both for Sate and Rental . // Students Need //, .....,"•' .V'..•;";,/ ., We Have It.

New Campus School Opening Delayed • Lack of heat will make it impossible to conduct- classes in the WWC campus school until summer, it was disclosed by Architect John Paul Jones at the board of trustee's meeting Wednesday afternoon. Though contractors expect to complete their work in April, the present heating plant .is inadequate to heat the campus school in addition to its ordinary load. The installation of a new heating plant is scheduled for summer. vFor improvement of grounds around the new campus building the board has authorized a request for the allotment of $11,125 from the college capital outlay.

They have learned all the basic commands, from Attention to Halt, but it is said that a few had trouble with the latter. In fact, when that command was given, basketball player Tony Bezer was seen trying to climb the back of the man in front of him. However, the difficulty was overcome when it was emphasized that halt an stop mean the same thing. Nevertheless, much worthwhile progress is being made, and the commanding officer has promised recruits a start in military tactics next Tuesday.

As far as we've seen, support for the teams has been swell. And while we're at it, lets toss a few bouquets to the new cheer leaders, too... Our complaint is the lack of organization in the cheering section. Even the small high schools manage to get a central rooting section, and certainly with the power to impress that we have—band, blue-sweatered Valkyries, etc.—we should be able to put on a better display than was evident at the first three games. If everyone sat on the EAST side of the gym, with the band and Valkyries as a nucleus, we could really give Carter and Keown some concerted noise...and while we're getting ideas, how about working some cute babe into the team? • One of the toughest breaks we've heard of in a long time is a tale coming from CPS. The way we heard it, the hoys had a pretty fair team and a little surplus money so they decided to make an exhibition tour of South America this winter. Tickets were 'bought for the whole team—600 odd dollars worth—new suits were picked up, and everything was tequilla and daisies until... along came the war. Passports were cancelled indefinitely and the steamship companies (showing a decided Nipponese trend) said "So sorry—no refund." So the Loggers are stuck with $600 worth of tickets that they will sell cheap... Should be good territory for a recruiting officer . . . • Item: 51 fouls committed as Cheney defeats Ellensburg 57-36. Those eastern lads really get excited when they play ball. For a long time the CWC-EWC encounter has been the "big game" on the other side of the mountains. Much to Red Reese's disgust, his boys have twice climbed over CW,C to a tie with PLC toward the end of t he season, only to have our valiant Vikings knock the props out from under the Savages. Nothing would delight Reese more than to have bis team reach the same emotional pitch in Bellingham as i t does in Ellensburg.

Defeated 30-29 in last Friday's open- • ing encounter with the Lutes in Ta-coma, the Vikings zoomed back Saturday night to smother their rivals 37-26. I n the first game, Pacific Lutheran, on the short end of the score for most of the''game, came from behind in t h e second half and held a one-point lead 20 seconds before the final gun. At this crucial point, Norm Dahl, Viking center, converted a foul to tie the score 28 all. sending the game into overtime. The close checking Lutes held the Vikings to a lone foul conversion while the Lutefisk eaters tossed the winning field goal through the basket. Paul Pollilio was high point man with 11 points. Berwyn Ny-berg led the Viking cagers with nine markers. In the concluding game of their series, it was Ernie Ludwick with 12 points-who paced the Viks to their victory.

EWC Savages Coming Friday Crucial Series May Decide WINKO League Winner • Eastern Washington college's, basketball team will trek to Bellingham next week-end for what may be t he crucial series of the 1942 season. Boasting by far the most powerful team in the WINKO conference, the Cheney Savages will have to crush Lappenbusch's green, but rapidly improving Vikings before they can hope to walk on to the pennant. Coach Red Reese can put five Savages on the floor who go over 6 feet, 2 inches, led by towering Dave Hipskind who goes six inches over six feet. Besides height, the Cheneys still have veteran Bobby Stoelt, roly7poly fireball forward who led the conference in individual scoring last year. The Vikings will not be able to match Cheney in height, but if they keep up the pace set in their last PLC game, the Savages should have a tough time eradicating them from the picture.

When most people read these announcements little did they realize that besides the'Lombard party, there were-18 other people aboard that ill-fated airliner—15.of them United States, Army flyers More disastrous at this time than the loss ot an actress was the loss of these 15 pilots—men vital to the defense of the American way of life. College Students Pick Favorite Shows Of 1941; 'Sergeant York' Rates Tops By Joe Belden, Editor Student Opinion Surveys of America AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 23.—Favorite movie seen by college students during 1941 was "Sergeant York," the annual motion picture poll conducted by Student Opinion Surveys of America shows: Only slightly more than one-seventh of the students, 14 per cent, however, could agree on any one picture as the "best they had seen." At that, "Sergeant York" lead in four of the six geographical sections of ^the country used in conducting the survey. Based on a scientifically representative cross section of the U. S. college enrollment, the survey shows that students in the Middle Atlantic, East Central, West Central, and Southern states chose "Sergeant York" as their favorite picture. The top ten shows, compiled from the question, "What was the best picture you have seen during 1941?" were not necessarily released during the last year. In order of their selections, they are as follows: L~ Sergeant York ^f_Citizen Kane ^^OnerFoot in Heaven •' Meet John Doe 5. Gone With the Wind 6. Blossoms in the Dust 7. Honky Tonk 8. The Little Foxes 9. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 10. I Wanted Wings In 1940, "Gone With the Wind," easily ranked best of the year, polled twice as many ballots as the second ranking picture, "Rebecca." It is interesting to note that "G.W.T.W." is still fifth among the top ten after, another year. yB=M^-?

We?are a public discussion group," said Don Urquart, one of the three- members of the University of Washington group that spoke in assembly Tuesday. Urquart, a junior in Political Science, smiled in a friendly manner, shoved his hands into.his pockets, and went on, "We conduct cooperative symposiums with the schools we visit; last year we had 180 engagements." Carl Robertson, senior in Speech, and a member of the squad, broke in, "We have traveled to Vancouver, B. C-i to Los Angeles, arid as far east as Moscow/ Idaho." Robertson laughed, and his eyes crinkled behind his glasses. "If you print it. just say Moscow. I'm sure that would be more impressive," he said. Robertson and Curtis Ellens, the third member of the squad,,N are members of Tau Kappa Alpha, debate honorary. "Oh, yes, we speak a great deal," said Ellens, a tall curly-haired senior in Political Science. "We'll talk for anyone interested. In fact," he continued, "they needn't be interested. Just a. passive acceptance will do." These three young men who had spoken so sincerely on the topic, "What steps should the U. S. take now to cushion the post-war depression?" were being hurried off to lunch. "We speak in Portland next week, and make a trip to California in March. Thanks for listening," they called back, as they rushed down the stairs to their lunch. Ski Weather Fine But Underwear Itched: No Bumps • At six -o'clock ..last ..Sunday morning, many things happened. The shift at the pulp mill changed, a milk wagon jingled along, a street light burned out, a car pulled up in , front of the Pastime, and twenty alarm clocks sounded. Simultaneously, twenty forms whipped out of bed, hastily donning two pairs £ gt;f" woolen snuggies, two or,more shirts, sweaters, and a pair of pants. For they were going—not to the Bahamas, not to Florida, not to California, but to Mount Baker. The trip to the mountain was uneventful except for three unknown serenaders, Fillacadootchi Hawke, Sinamerootchi Hearsey, and Falda Raldy Holtman. Their rendition of "100 Bottles on the Fence," was, most delightful. Arriving at the mountain, these potential skiers eagerly fastened on their skis. Skiing conditions were ideal. The sub-zero temperature was most pleasant, the snow warm, and the Northeast wind refreshing. After lunch, the student skiers practiced their stems, turns, banking, in hopes of sometime being able to stand horizontally on their skis. And after reallyPPPPP

Not many people will come after One's scalp if the weather is the topic of conversation. Exception,of course, is Southern California, where bad weather is definitely taboo. Another good safe subject is traffic safety. The Washington state patrol is sponsoring a drive to prevent accidents, especially among pedestrians. And as most of us'ns are pedestrians, we fall under that category. It is OK if one falls "under a category, but for goodness sake don't fall under a truck. Hallowe'en will soon be here and at the risk of offending the kids, we hope they don't do any serious damage. The high school and junior highs have done yeoman work in Hallowe'en sanity in the past few years and much of this credit is due to the pupils themselves. They are beginning to realize that it is more fun to be good than to be destructive. Don Bell, Vising end, drew No. 2 number in the draft registration. And that is one lottery that the boys definitely don't want to win. Early this week the students interested in the advancement of journalism petitioned the faculty committee on student affairs for the formation of a PRESS CLUB. Action by the committee is expected before the regular Interclub Council meeting next week. The club is similar in construction to the one now functioning at Eastern Washington College. Lots of the grads of yester year have been these past few days renewing old acquaintanceships in these halls, of learning. Reason was the WEA regional meeting which drew the teachers like a magnet. We guess this is the finish of this week's edition of this toothless column. If we've offended anything or anybody we're really truly sorry. Honest we are.

An day has been set aside, as one on which the students speak to all theirjfellbw students, whether they have met or not. The theme of the day is to be promotion of a. friendly spirit among all the new students and the old students. .Each student will be given a white "Hello" card to wear all day. The object is to get the signature of every new student that he meets on that day. The "Hello day" idea is a new one at WWC, and was introduced by the AWS. Piledrivers Pound On Last Pile Work on the new Training school being erected on the campus is progressing rapidly, with Thursday seeing the driving of the final piling. It is expected that work on the general contract will begin at once. The general contract includes the erecting of the walls, floors, ceilings, as well as the inner partitions. Contractor Hoard, of Seattle, is now on the campus supervising the construction of a building that will house the office of the construction company during the erection of the new primary school. Weather permitting, this construction called for in the general contract will be completed by March 31. It is also reported that 800 cubic yards of dirt are left to be removed from the hill behind the library before the leveling work is completed. —X— CLARENCE SOUKUP Clarence Soukup, ex-Collegian editor, was among the many WWC grads in Bellingham for the WEA meet these past two days.

Husband Asserts Education Fails To Teach Democracy ' By Bill Hatch In the midst of putting away projection equipment after his lecture, "How America Lives," Wilfrid L. Husband spoke more fully of his convictions about housing in the United States. • Husband, who has toured and lectured in the United States for 10 years, says, "The great failure of American education comes in its failure to teach, us how to use democracy." Visited Sweden During his travels. Husband has twice visited Sweden, which he cites as an example of what an industrious people can do to improve housing conditions. His photography, which started as a hobby, has now become one df the major items in his program for housing education. Home Is His Car As he carried his equipment to his car, which he laughingly calls his "home," Husband again brought up his theory that the British navy is not our first line of deiense—it is in a constructive American housing program. As he climbed into his automobile in which he, Mrs. Husband, and their small baby drive from one engagement to another, Mr. Husband remarked, "At least when we do get a home of our own, we'll know how to appreciate it."

No, this isn't subversive propaganda of any sort. Inasmuch as the idea of a student union building seems delegated to the pigeonhole until more funds are forthcoming, we should begin to plan for some kind of a student center. The logical answer seems to be a student activity center. The place would seem to be the present training school wing of the administration building. Of course, moving day for the present occupants is a year in the future, but plans should be made and carried out now to start the ball rolling. This center, as we visualize it, would contain, clubrooms for the many clubs of the campus, and serve as a coordinating unit to closer weld the student body of WWC. hi kids its me again old anarchie the fellow that says things that maybe mr van aver wouldnt like because i cant reach the punctuation marks well kid i came in from the pe building last, night and what do you know chum the car • L rode in got almost stuck in a mudhole which was there all over the place and he was scared exclamation point but then we guess there is nothing that can be done maybe the truck will quit kinda quick now hauling dirt and making mudpies which to date have trapped four model ts made by henry ford a man in detroit that is the way the mastadon got preserved for posterity in a mud brine i read my natural history but when george dack gets to make a lawn like the one we have all places else with sprinklers and landscaping it will be the prettiest place in the state of Washington aint it the truth, ^ ' B l l ^ l l II Students 25c Plus Tax Friday and Saturday „ NOW SHOWING KNUTE ROCKNE All American With PAT O'BRIEN, GALE PAGE "YOUNG PEOPLE" JACK OAKIE and SHIRLEY TEMPLE Also—DONALD DUCK CARTOON II AMERICAN ir Evenings, 25c Sat. 4:15, 20c Fun!

October. 21, for a 6:30 sports dinner. Sponsored by the Active club, .the dinner was designed to help build up the fund for purchase of an iron lung. The keynote speech of the evening was given by Royal Brougham of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Brougham highlighted the fact that we should ground our children. According to Brougham the American child with his Ford roadster is going soft and should Be made to walk to school carrying his lunch as his, father used to do. The" evening's, program was begun with the introduction of John Reed, who acted in the capacity of master of ceremonies. Short talks were given by Alvin (Swede) Anderson of the local high school and Chuck Lappenbusch of WWC. Music was furnished by the WWC pep band and songs were led by Jack Callahan. Brougham Continues . . . . . (Continued from Page One) The dizzy blonde waved her album, which could just as well have been a gun, at the crowd of gaping Germans and lightly sailied back through the subdued guards, to her seat. "No," mused Royal, "111 never forget how the 100-pound blonde from Hollywood threw Hitler's 210-pound bodyguards for a 24-yard loss. WWC Students Lucky According to the P-I sports columnist, WWC students should be thankful for two advantages enjoyed by no other collegians in the world. First, the sun setting over San Juan islands, -as viewed from Chuckanut drive is in Brougham's opinion, the most beautiful scene on the face of the globe. Secondly, he strongly asserted, "WWC enrollees should feel proud to have a man of the calibre of Chuck Lappenbusch as director of athletics." Royal labeled Lappy as one of the swellest men ever to receive a sheepskin from the U of W. A dream that is now becoming a reality, is the hew campus training school being erected on the site of the recently torn down grand stand. The structure will be finished and ready for use in the fall of 1941........... Cotton States Rules For Use Of Recording Equipment Rules governing student use of, the Speech department's new recording equipment were released .by Dr. Jack C. Cotton this week. Said Dr. Cotton, "It is a well known fact that a person can never hear himself as others hear him. Student teachers, singers, and others will undoubtedly find that the unsympathetic ear of the recorder can reveal things to them that their prejudiced hearing may never notice." The list of instructions for prospective recording artists contains the following: For registered-students and staff members the fee for a 10-inch record will be 75 cents (the regular commercial fee for a record of this size is $5)... The student rate for a 12 inch record will be $1.50 and for a 16-inch transcription record, $3. These fees will pay for recording on ''It Pays to Look Your Best : at All Times" For That Well Groomed Appearance Try THE HOTEL HENRY BARBER SHOP both sides of the record.

Brougham Benefit u u By- Wayne Kotola We were very much impressed by a section of Royal Brougham's highly interesting speech at the Activet; club's iron lung benefit dinner—an exceptionally good cause; by the way. - It seems that Broiigham was the honor guest of Babe Ruth at the Yankee Stadiuni in New York one afternoon during the Bambino's prime. During the course of the game the King of Swat poled out not one but two circuit clouts, for which he was so famous. When the final canto was over, Royal walked very joyfully out of the stands and down to the dressing room to congratulate the Babe on his wonderful afternoon's work, finding Ruth hunched over in a corner chair, the famed sport's commentator couldn't understand the Babe's downhearted-ness. "What's the trouble, Babe? You got two today didn't you?" "Sure," came the bitter answer, "I hit a couple on the nose but we lost, didn't we?" That's the reason the great Bambino was one of the world's best athletes. He gave the game everything that was in him, that the team might win, little caring about his own personal standing in the percentage column. Prominent among Bellingham boosters at the game in Tacoma last Saturday were former WWCers now taking orders from Uncle Sam. . . . Burke of the "Fighting Fifteenth", and Armand Pearson, Art Toothman and Dan Paul of the national guard, comprised the quartet of Fort Lewis residing Blue and While pepsters. . . . That bqy-McGrath, a Lake Stevens product, hits like a young piledriver. . . . The Viking offensive attack really clicks with Gudyka in the quarterback slot. The Norse moved the full length of the field for a first half score with the brown-eyed Pole at the helm. . . . Score: Bellingham, 7; "Tommygun" Tommervik, 26. Tommy is the real sparkplug of the Lute outfit. His 50-yard aerial toss that hit the receiver for an 80-yard touchdown should be proof of the pudding. . . . The seven-piece pep bend which played at the sports dinner did WWC up proud. The boys really hit the biscuits. . . . That big fellow who followed the ball on every play up and down the field last Sateve in Tacoma was Vaughn Weber, ex-Vik great. . . . Big Webbie had trouble keeping himself on the spectators' side of the chalk line. . . . Buck Tisdale, George Smith and Herb Sbrenson were also among the fans. . . .Saturday's fracas was the first action seen this year by "Sig" Sigurdson. Benched previously by a knee operation the Parkland blonde is an asset to anybody's ball club. . . . Too bad first half history didn't repeat itself. . . . The Viks really had Cliff Olson worried with that half-time score of 7-6. . . . Congratulations to George Archie, who Was chosen most Valuable player in the Pacific Coast league. His selection Was a triumph of value over ballyhoo as the big, bashful kid seldom opened his mouth and made plays for the team, not the grandstand. . . . Would like to present our nomination for the position of the No. 1 Viking rooter. Hals off to Amber Daniels who never misses a WWC athletic contest, rain or shine, and who never fails to leave a string of echos ringing across the gridiron or maple court. . . . A big question will be settled in Palo Alto Saturday when the Shaughnessy Redmen tackle a strong USC Trojan. . . . Our nod goes to the Indians who have as yet to be defeated. . . . Jumping back on the WSC bandwagon we'll pick the Cougars to avenge last Saturday's beating and have duck for dinner, in, the form of Oregon Webfeel . . . The Husky machine gained impetus from last week-end's victory and should roll right on through Golden Bear of California . . . I'll give you 10 to one odds thai my guess on the Viking game this week-end Will be correct. (Thai's right, %ey don't play) . . . Lappy received a very nice bouquet from Royal Brougham Monday evening. . . . Brougham stated, "Chuck Lappenbusch is the two-fistenest guard Washington ever produced." . . .

We have worked out a set of simple rules which keep us in such fine physical condition. We are positive that any of you who follow these simple shortcuts will grow up to be just like us (/ think we lost both of our readers that time). You will feel as tickled as a nudist in a wheat field. Well, let's get down to the rules. 1. Inhale and exhale at least once a day. This.carries out all that nasty carbon dioxide and bits of dirt thai may be lying about] the lungs. 2. Don't exercise... That is fatal. Aside from the danger of jarring off the head or an arm, it makes your perspire. This necessitates a bath, which, according to statistics, causes 5 0 % of fatalities. - 3. Get the blood to circulate once a week. How to circulate it is your problem. Get the habit; it's really fun. But onoe a Week, is sufficient. Why, have all that extra wear and tear on the Veins and arteries? 4. T. B. or not T. B.? That is the questi^y... We say no, because it really isn't any fun. 5. If possible, just get n bed and stay there. This affords safety from automobiles and you're not such an easy mark for germs. 6. Incidentally, this stuff is very incidental. Ignore it. This all reminds us of the story about the gorilla (it really doesn't but we had to work the story in some place). A gorilla work up feeling quite chipper one morning and after a light breakfast, consisting of three dozen bananas,- a fig leaf, and a missionary, he started out through the jungle. Pulling up trees and beating on his, chest, he roared defiance to all the other jungle denizons. He chanced upon an elephant. The gorilla, thinking he was stronger than the elephant walked right up to him and yodeled, "Why aren't you as strong as I ? " The elephant trembled with fear and went trumpeting off through the jungle. The gorilla next encountered a lion. He walked right up to the lion, grabbed him by the tail, and swung him around his head, meanwhile screaming at the lion, "Why aren't you as strong as I ? " the lion struggled free and went crying through the jungle. Next the gorilla spied a little monkey up. in a tree tapping on a cocoanut. The gorilla cried up at him, "Why. aren't you as strong as I ? " The little monkey kept tapping at the cocoanut very much unconcerned. The gorilla was furious. "Why aren't you as strong as I ? " he screamed again. The monkey looked placidly down, picked a bit of dirt from his arm and replied, "I've been sick." Crowd Heralds Cenci Premiere As Season's Success By Bill Kidder Playing to the usual weak crowd that characterizes Bellingham's stubborness to expose itself to any type of cultural expression, The Bellingham Theater Guild Wednesday night opened a four-day American premiere run of Percy Bysshe Shelley's "The Cenci," said to be "the greatest tragedy since Shakespeare." "Cenci" Taxes Guild's Capacities • Decidedly the Guild's most ambitious production to date, "The Cenci" at times proves almost too much for the capacities of the local playhouse. Yet when one considers the work necessary to produce, stage and direct a tragedy that has lain taboo on the shelves of American producers for decades and has been seen in actual production but three times, then the true quality of the present run can be appreciated. In places Shelley's superb dramatization of sadism versus purity of soul is interpreted by guild players in a manner little short of superb and in places the thread of the drama is lax before the eyes of hte audience. Leading Two Are Outstanding It is the acting of the leading trio that establishes the present production as one of the best that has come from the local workshop in. its lengthy period. Katherine Bowden, as Beatrice, Dr. Arthur C. Hicks, as Count Cenci, and Marshall Bacon, as Orsino, all turn in excellent performances. Miss Bowden in the Beatrice role is a living reproduction of the Guido painting that prompted Shelley to his lyric drama. Her gesticulations are of the best and her speeches are full of interpretive beauty. While some of the cast spent scenes in dramatic doldrums Miss Bowden's Beatrice is full to the final curtain. Dr. Hicks in the role of Count Cenci is almost lust itself as he drools his curses to the skies. His Cenci is full of the evil that is its good. Virginia Johnson Troupe Car Swims Seven Miles By Bernice Monson Her lean, strong face serious, Miss Virginia Johnson slouched comfortably in an assembly seat and talked freely of her recent experience in the Sacramento valley flood. Responsible for her entire group of dancers, she was all the more worried when she overheard the telephone operator say, "The bridge is sinking one - inch an hour!" "Trapped between two bridges, neither one passable, we stopped at a little road house, where people from all walks of life, in the same distressful circumstances, mingled and struck up friendships," were Miss Johnsorfs words describing their trip. She went on to say, "After waiting three hours for the water to go down, we took a chance on getting through. Driving seven miles in two and one-half feet of water, our station wagon was the last car to get through from Sacramento." Dancing lessons in her,childhood were the start of Miss Johnson's career. During her youth, dancing was a forgotten dream in the winter, while she was attending schools in Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Chicago. Every summer she took it up again. Before the end of her first year at the University of Illinois she withdrew and went on the stage. There she specialized in song and dance acts. Six years ago fate stepped in with laryngitis, which put a stop to her singing. Since then she has concentrated on her dancing, especially modern. Teaching and directing such dances have occupied a large part of her time. At the present, her home is in Beverly Hills, Calif., where her husband I s connected with a music corporation. . Describing, with the aid of her hands, the wonderful future of modern dancing and expressing her enthusiasm for it in her gray-green eyes, she emphatically said, "It is a thing of youth. It has a definite, technique. Young people like dancing that has 'guts' to it! Modern dancing is strictly American, and gives the artist a splendid opportunity to express his own personality." ' For the last five years Miss Johnson has taken lessons' from Martha Graham, of New York, who is one of the foremost exponents of modern dancing in the country. Concerning her own group of dancers, Miss Johnson, assisted by Nathan Kirkpatrick, her partner, designs their own costumes and does their own choregraphy. Practices are held every day, which is strenuous work for the dancers. ..*_.- "It's more fun than a picnic," was her reply to the question of ~- jitterbugging. She added, her wide mouth breaking into a smile, "By the way, Nathan is a very good jitterbug." To her, the rhythm is the fun. She also does a great deal of ballroom dancing for pleasure. . VOL.

Public Museum" society*andlhalce a small contribution to its financial support. •••.'• Since there is no municipal support other than the free use of the old city hall, the society is dependent upon the mmbership dues. There are five classes of membership with dues as indicated: Active $ 1.00 per year Contributing .... 5.00 per year Sustaining 10.00 per year Donor 100.00 per year Patron 200.00 per year Hundreds of exhibits are ready to be placed on display as soon as the building is prepared, and many other objects, now unknown to society, will be contributed when' it is known that a safe place is provided for them. These include natural history, minerals, historical, and anthropological items. Much credit for the museum has been given Mr. J. M. Edson, former registrar of WWC, because of his tireless effort. Mr. Edson is an avid colector of birds and mammals, and his collection alone will make a natural history department. All who become members before the museum opens will be charter members; those who are interested in becoming members should contact Dr. H. C. Philippi. Lunceford Swings Yes, it's really true, Jimmy Lunceford, the king of syncopation, and his colored band will be featured at the Armory on Tuesday, March 19. The band has just returned from a two-year tour of Europe, where they played before crowned heads of all nations. Every man in Lunceword's band is a college graduate holding a B. A. in music. Decca records have recorded over seventy renditions of the band.' This colored attraction is rated as one of the greatest dance and entertainment aggregations. —Courtesy* Herald HUGH DIEHL Committee Surveys Mount Baker Hi Dr. Irving E. Miller, head of the education department, was one of a large committee which recently took a complete survey of the Mt. Baker Union high school. This extensive inspection was carried on in cooperation with the state department as' part of a program that included many schools east of the mountains. The two-day survey fully covered every phase of the Mt. Baker institution and it is hoped that comprehensive knowledge as to high school organization in the state will, result from the intensive program. The item that drew the greatest attention was that of the philosophy of education in co-ordination with the curriculum of the respective schools. It is the aim. of the committee*to reach some conclusions by virtue of their first-hand information that will aid future ---------- WWCollegian - 1940 March 8 - Page 2 ---------- Western Woshington College of Educotion, Bellinqhom, Washington tmm;m^ M$ ^jjap^4 -'• • Established 1899 , • Published every IWday, except during the months of August and September by the Associated Students, Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington.

Well known to physicists is the axiom that two bodies cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Thus, a body of money cannot be used to provide relief for war-torn Finland and still provide NYA funds for the youth of America. Strictly speaking it isn't the same money, but the Congress that provided the $20,000,000 loan to Finland is the same Congress that is thinking of curtailing expenditures for NYA. Some will say that the Finns will pay back the loan, if they can withstand the onslaughts of the Bear that walks like a man, but won't the help to the students and other NYA projects be returned a thousand-fold in the aid to education and advancement they foster? It isn't that the Finns haven't the right in the sake of humanity to be helped. Victims of a savage aggression by the Russians, they have all the rights of the downtrodden and oppressed on their side. But NYA, too, helps those that need it and those that would be oppressed by an highly individualistic society. And the youth of America are a lot closer to home. Collegian Posts Revised Someone turned out the lights in the Collegian office the other day and first thing you knew, there was a mad scramble. When again the glims glimmered, there was Wayne Miner at the sports desk barking orders to his columnist, Bill Ridder. Biggs had disappeared. They found him two days later, hidden in the voluminous folds of the editor's chair, disguised as managing editor. These arrangements are slated to continue into next quarter with Monson and Hilby society editors, Thai as feature editor and assistant copy boy, and Cratsenberg copy editor. Ridder, however, is retiring as columnist and will go back to the more prosaic and safer job of editor-in-chief. Don't Make Silly Excuses Test week looms up ahead like the rear end of the Acqui-tania from a fish's viewpoint and it's silly to give the old platitudes about digging in and cramming. You all know when and where you stand and its up to you whether you fly or flop. Personally, we don't give a hoot which you do but we like flying. Congrats, Board For Cenci Our congratulations to the Board of Control for their decision to permit the performances of Cenci to be given to the Associated Students as part of the lectures and entertainments program. This was in keeping with the fine round of concerts we've witnessed, the past two quarters in conjunction with the Bellingham Civic Music association and will be appreciated by the students.

Fyhn-ishing Touches By Irene Fyhn It's surprising the things you can hear when you're trying to study . . . clever remarks by school wits and people like Simonds, who just can't help it. . . . Overheard lately : The Germans are naming their battleships after jokes so that the English won't get them. Jim Hall: Have you seen my little woman around here? She said that she was coming up here to study like heck. Guess that's how she did study—like heck. V Remarks of a first nighter, aged about 8, to another sophisticate, aged about the same, after seeing "Our Town": "Do people really have to go through all that just to get married?" V This was only told to us, v/e didn't hear it; but t i s said that a little boy in Seattle who can tell tall ones •came home from school one day with a real fib—a whopper. His mother, thoroughly tired of hearing .these fabrications, reprimanded him. In self-defense, the boy replied, "If you think I tell fibs, you should hear another kid at my school. He says his grandfather is president!" The "other kid at school" is Buzzie Dall, son of Anna Roosevelt Boet-tiger. •••••: '**• J^*0?0l*iin :•• '•:,-.' Attention you gals.

Seems like the little fellow wangled a promise from me to-wit: He'll write some editorials and I'll mess up an otherwise good sports column So we change the name (rather Boggs does, he's editor this week) from Little Things to Smaller Things and gently ooze into the tiny sports ed's highchair and commence flingin*. Here in the sheltered seclusion, one may write'of many things: Valkyries, rooting enthusiasm, and Confucius' But the Valks have had my share, and there isn't enough pep., to warrant words and poor 'fucius was agoner 9 0 0 years back, which is long considering the age of his misnomefed witticisms. Change dictionaries and we'll slide into another paragraph. . . . "Porpoise" Paul Foster, he of the back-belly flop and sweet half-gainors, is taking it on the chin from pleural pneumonia. The super-Varsity mainstay is quartered in St. Joseph's hospital. . . .Dean McGee, another aqua acrobat, was called to Seattle Monday when his wife whom he had left ill in the metropolis the day before, became Worse. She's better now. . . .Little Robby Dorr', casaba representative on U squads from these parts for many a year, finished his college career with a few minutes stretch in the Husky win over OSC. The little guy—/ think he's taller than Boggs-—deserves credit for perseverance against competition of his sky-scraping colleagues in the Coast conference, Northern division. The year's over as far as Lappy and W W C basketball records are concerned but the boys can't say no. . . . They're lining up thick and fast for The Herald Independent tournament now opening doors for a few patrons in the Bellingham high gym. . . . Virtually the entire " B " league Chinook champion quintet has entered under Jerry's Italian Village and Paolergio's spacious banner. . . . They've added "Kewpie" Dahl and My Dodd! from the varsity. . . . Hardwick's five has annexed Chamberlin and "The Little Man" Moses. . . . Columbia Valley has "Hammer-mill" Bond and Vaughn on their squad. . . . Bernie "Night-Man" Westmoreland and "Boots" Harris, from " I t ' s the W a t e r " Olym-pia, are slingin' the pill for Pastime. . . . Of course Moaner Miner, Collegian standby, is still missing set-ups for the Y. . . . Glenn Smith, who passes backhand, like Boggs, is also on the Y roster. Intramural does things lo guys. Take WeeWalt Baker for an example, everybody else does. In his daily dose of gym-ratting the^ other day the Marietia Marauder came dribbling down the maple boards with the speed of a Finn after a Russian. He didn't expect anyone to present obstacles and get in his way. . . . that means check to Baker . . . but some innocent participator in the scrub game did and the surprise was almost too much for the Chinook Luisetti. His befuddled nervous arrangement gave way, he foot-faulted (tennis soon now), double-dribbled, and strode with the ball. It was provoking and Baker began a Blilzkreig on the unassuming defensive disturber. He threw the ball at his molester and proceeded to present the fellow with a pair of boots in the posterior region adjacent to the hips. When it was all over he had no explanation for his rash action save strain from too) much struggling against Boulton et Healy. That does things to guys. A year ago the rules committee for the good old game of basketball and twinetickling amended the statutes and abolished the jump-off after each score in order to speed up the contest. Now they are wisely considering means of slowing the tempo to decrease the number of burned-out athletes. A good possibility for such braking of the game could well be the addition of a couple of referees to each team roster. Sure, why not? It would give a couple of guys with glasses a chance to play the good old game catch-as-catch can. My, the possiblities are tremendous. Each school could then install a Colleg of Training Seeing-Eye Dogs for the efficient preparation for active duty with their referees. Of course Proselyting pooches would become a practice rampant and lead the abolition of dog catchers but the added position of referee one and two would remedy that. Remind me to tell Biggs to further the campaign. The birds are in the bushes and the buds are on the twigs and it won't be long until we'll be out in the cold but spring is acomin and with it track. That mountain in the back stretch of what they call WWC's cinder oval is ideal for some things . . . skiing, maybe, if snow would come . . . but it sure is crummy for track.^They don't furnish tracksters with J/4 h. p. auxiliary motors to aid in hill climbing so they should either clear the mound or establish a cross-country marathon as a regular feature and let the sprinters scramble down High street for a straightaway... Maybe they could move a steamshovel in for Dae to use and scrape a little superflous mud away with the next spring freshet. The psychological aspect of this budding Baker is splendid. I can just see Sam the Carver giving his proteges a thrilling pep talk the night before a meet . . . a Sermon on* the Mount, as it were. There are big things in track slated for the months lo come. Among them the first all-Winco track meet. If the cindersmiths are in for a host job they should at least be able lo "be on the level about it." Shut up, Boggs, you can say it next week.

The Snoose Hill varsity, hard driving high school quintet, out-fought and out-scored the pre-game favorite, the "Y" varsity, to win 32 to 28, and earn a chance to compete in tonight's semi-finals. The third game saw Hardwicks overwhelm the Harmony Athletic club 55 to. 21, and in the evening's finale the original "G" Men literally poured the leather through the'hoop to scupper Jerry's Italian Village 61 to 22. Snoose Hill Upsets "Y" The biggest upset of the evening was dished up in big plate fulls by the Snoose Hillers from Bellingham high, who played bang-up ball to edge out he favored "Y" team. The winners checked the red shirt-ed favorites from stem to stern of the massive gym, and tied them in knots whenever they got their eye on the hoop. Christman and Low-ery headed the victors, while Em-rick shone out for the "Y". The Fircrest-Everson game was the stand-out performance of the series thus far; it was Everson who toppled the championship favorites to gain a berth in the semi-finals. The Everson five had previously snowed under an outclassed Columbia Valley team Tuesday night. The dairymen started out strong • and whipped up a 9 to 4 lead before the out-county lads started hitting the net. Bishop and Kiep-ers paced the winners to a 14 to 11 half time lead, and continued to pellet counters to build up a 28 to 25 lead at the three-quarter mark. In the final quarter Hcpman took over the reins and lead the way to the well earned victory. Hopman totaled 15, while Bishop hit 11 for the winners. Johnson bucketed 12 for the Dairymen. Pans will get their fill of basketball in big doses tonight, as the bill, headed by the Hardwick-"G" Men clash, should furnish a kettel. of entertainment ror the tournament crowds. Diamond Sport For WWC? 'Lap" Says No To those who are thinking of baseball at WWC, real, rugged hard baseball as differentiated from soft ball, it ain't. So was the report given by Coach Lappenbusch as he tolled the knell on the American sport of sports early this week. Lack of a suitable schedule of college calibre was the main reason advanced by Athletic Director Lappenbusch for the further discontinuation of the diamond game. EWC, CWC! PLC and CPS do not have nines and St. Martins is dropping baseball for track. Adding further to the obstacled path of baseball is the indecision of the school authorities regarding the position of the proposed track. Contemplated at present is an oval. around the new field, which would decimate forever all hope of that field for a baseball park. The prospects for intramural baseball also hinge upon the decision of the authorities when and where to level the hill and build -the track, Coach Lappenbusch further stated. At present, even this form of a horsehide league seems blank. First Aid Classes Will Open Soon During the week beginning March 25, the Red Cross is sending its district representative, Ben Carpenter, to give a course in life saving and swimming in the college pool. This will be the' only opportunity for people in the northwest district to obtain their instructorships. These instructorships give the holder the right to instruct classes in life saving, first PPPPP

This date is set for the high school Play Day which is held here annually. A new feature this year is the extension of invitations to boys as well as girls. Formerly, Play Day was held for the feminine contingent only. An interesting day has been planned by the Play Day committee, headed by Jim Junkin and Barbara Beyer. In the morning, mixed sports will hold the spotlight. These will be followed by a luncheon at Edens hall and a track meet in the afternoon. According to Jim Junkin, the purpose of Play Day is to acquaint high school students with each other and with the college group. Five boys and five girls will be sent from each high school in Whatcom and Skagit counties. The representatives will be divided into small groups and will tour the campus with members of the Play Day committee. Fife Fighters Need Reinforcements ~ • Recently a survey was made by .several members of the faculty on the fire fighter squad to determine what could be done along lines of fire prevention. A committee of students made a, survey of the present fire ' fighting equipment. Sand was ordered. Buckets, shovels, and rakes were distributed around the various parts of the building to help combat a fire in case of an emergency. Salvage work has been done to protect anything that cannot be replaced. For the safety of the fire fighters, goggles, shields, and flashlights have been purchased. According to Dr. Robert Holt-man who has charge of the joint teacher-student fire fighting class during the absence of Lyle Brewer, there are only thirteen people enrolled in this class which meets every Thursday at 11 in room 105. At present there are only enough -fire fighters to take care of the main building and Edens* hall. An effort is being made to enroll more students for the protection of the balance of the student body. By Frank Shiers • Because the paper this week is being directed toward the graduating high school seniors, it behooves us as a group to analyze what we as an institution have to offer prospective victims that other schools do not. In other words, I think that it is only, fair for us to wash our dirty linen now; then when we have our influx of new people, they will not be able to complain that we kept all the skeletons in the closet. * My gripe this week is concerned only with the Valkyries. For thie uninitiated, the Valkyries are the college equivalent to the typical high school girls' pep club. I am not complaining about, what the Valkyries are; but about how they have confused what they are and what they want to be. in other words, they started, out with certain objectives in mind and somewhere along the road they got lost. ^' Some unkind people will no doubt say that I am doing this because of some personal animosity. Suffice it to say that I like and admire every member,.of the Valkyries as a friend and as a fellow human being. I also admire the group as a whole. That (Continned on Page Few) WRA Votes Stangle Sports Manager; Name Other Heads • On Wednesday the Women's Recreation association held the balance of their election. Those elected were as follows: general sports manager, Norma Stangle; social chairman, Pat Irish; secretary, Lynda Adams; treasurer, Cheryl Smith; vice-president, Bernice FJ-enbaas. A meeting of the new and old members of the cabinet met on Thursday evening to discuss plans for the ensuing year. Next year as the WRA and the AWS will be the biggest clubs on the campus, Elizabeth Douglas and Elaine Sund-back who both attended conferences and got many new ideas to further the expense of the clubs, are going to meet together and pool their information. Further, discussion was held on limiting members to WRA and make it a more selective organization because so many girls belong to WRA and get their activity points and yet never participate in any sport whatsoever. Plans were also discussed to further our efforts toward National Defense. George Wants Radio Actors • Wanted! At least ten men on Monday night, May 4,. to try out for a radio play. The play "Crowded Paradise," will be broadcast before the assembly, May 19. Here is the chance of a lifetime for the aspiring male thespians of WWC/ According to Mr. George, "Crowded Paradise" has an amusing plot and should be well received by the assembly-goers. The cast includes only one feminine part, but the male roles are many: U. S. Shows Films • The United States Department of Agriculture supervises the assembly next Tuesday, May 5, which consists of a movie entitled "United States Forest Service." Rudo Fromme is in charge of the picture. Next Friday's assembly features the Western Washington college a Cappella choir, under the direction of Nils Boson. Enthusiasm High as v^ampus Day Nears; Beards Prevail Kids Ordered To Stay Off Grass by Stocks; Motor Needed • Men, even if Campus day is still twelve days off, that doesn't excuse you from leaving the razor on the shelf for the remainder of the time. In fact, the only thing which officials' consider adequate excuse is student teaching. Anyone else who believes he has adequate reason for a beardless face must present, in writing, his excuse. These new stipulations were set forth this week by co-chairmen Les Smith and Mike Pizzuto. KIDS MAR GRASS Military police heads, Smith and Pizzuto, have issued an ultimatum to Campus school children. They are requesting that the Campus school children stay away from the stock, and off the lawn. Although only a few victims have been embraced by the stockade, the lawn has been damaged considerably, in fact, they say, too much. The committee heads also announced that men who are taking technique courses have been given the OK of the technique teachers to grow beards".' .•,•-•-* ,—..-.- A change has been made in the. day for the migration of men to Lakewood for the pre-Campus day cleari-up. The date was originally scheduled for Saturday May 9, but it has been changed to Sunday, May 10.

Valkyries Plarr Spring Dance • As a result of a long heated argument at the Monday Valkyrie meeting it was decided to gQ ahead with plans for the annual spring sport dance. Members had been advised by the faculty that a dance at this time might be a failure because of decreased enrollment and increased expenses. A vote was taken at the meeting which showed that there" still is some fire,in the Valkyrie-club after a l l . . the majority of the girls proved to be willing to work to cut down expenses and still give a nice dance. After all, someone has to keep up the standard of morals'...oops... morale at WfWC. Following the example _set by last week's AWS informal, programs, refreshments and decorations will be eliminated. Ruth Culbertsqh was selected to head the dance. Date Group Meets • All people who wish to reserve dates on next year's calendar should attend the meeting of the calendar committee today.

Ra'del's green and "white pinafore and ank-' lets to match; Peggy Bryan's pastel green, orange, and beige plaid skirt with long waisted beige sweater; Shirley Folsom's white moccasins; Elaine Ringstad's tan san-.' dais.

So keep in the swing of things and get yours tomorrow. Joy and Betty Hatt have been » granted a weeks leave of absence ' p \ ^ A t t e n d s J o i n t from school because, of the death of their father, Rev. Dan E. Hatt, of Lynden. Rev.

For this reason, YWCA Tepresentatives^met ] jointly with the TJSO and the national • leaders of both organizations attended; "I .certainly enjoyed seeing the beautiful scenery'. during the trip and I got a bigger picture of women's problems," says Miss Piatt. There were women of all ages and classes at the conference, and in Miss Piatt's opinion this ability to obtain a cross section of women of all types is the unique contribution, of the YWCA. Among the representatives at,the conference, which was held at the Columbia Gorge hotel near Hood River, were several WWC graduates. One of them, Miss Helen Davis, is the regional chairman of the business and professional division of YWCA. Other Bellingham representatives included Mrs. Larrabee; president of the local YWCA, Mrs. W. D.

Coach Sarboe and his husky Wildcat sprint squad start strutting their:,stuff out on our oval this afternoon, you will be looking upon what in our estimation is the best all-round track team in the Winko league this season. They may be. small in numbers but their potential point picking: power is great. Against Yakima Junior college two weeks ago Sarboe's, men started their season by amassing 80M gt; points against the. JC's 39J/s. Last Friday the wiry Wildcat squad all but tore Washington's frosh squad to pieces when they pawed out a one-sided 80% to 45% victory. . . ' . . . ' ' . • ' r Only weak spot on the Ellensburg team seems to be in the field. This fact was proved when the Husky Frosh picked up their five and only firsts in field events. With McAulay, Nelson, Mitchell, and Munizza out there for the Viks, Carver's men will prove plenty tough. One of the outstanding Wildcats to watch today will be Bob Lynn. He picked up 9 points against the Frosh by placing firsts in the mile (4:42), and second in both the two mile and 880... Maurice Rogers, a team mate of Lynn's, turned in a 53 for 440 and in the same afternoon ran a 22.2 in the 220. • ; • MAN OF THE WJEEK—Les Smith is our nomination .for man of the week. Les is the unheralded artist whose surrealistic caricatures of bearded males adorn the halls. He is the architect-engineer combination who designed and installed the "stocks" for slackers in the beard growing contest. Smitty is 19, a sophomore and hails from Longview. He was a member of Hilltop squad that won the intramural basketball championship this year. Fall quarter Les was number one quarter back for the Viking eleven. Smitty *s pride and joy is his GREEN HORNET, which every student has come to regard as the official campus taxi. . Deepest, darkest secret of Les' past is the fact that as cook in a Longview hotel a few years ago, his side dish with the Monday morning blue plate special. Was, to quote Smitty, "a fluffy duffy salad." (That ought to be a pretty obvious hint to those in charge of the Campus Day food committee.) gt; ; ••— :• Out to show the women that though small in numbers they still can put more weight behind the Student Lounge fund, the Norsemen are planning a smoker to be run off sometime during the next two weeks... The list of matches has not been completed as yet but those so far signed up are: Munizza vs. Mitchell in the heavies, and Aldrich vs. Hickenbottom in the lights. Several other leather-swinging Norse have not been matched yet. Don "Tiny" Neal says he is open for challenge (in wrestling only, of course). An added item of interest to the "better half" of the student body is that 'fwomen will be tolerated."

Viking, Wildcat Track Squads Clash Here This Afternoon Sarboe Brings Strong Team; Vikings Favored In Field • Murmuring: a prayer, "the bigger they are the harder they'll fall," WWC's track men take to their oval today at 3 o'clock to face a potent CWC Wildcat cinder squad. The meet will be the initial test for the Vikings while Coach Phil Sarboe's men have two meets under their belts already this season. Last Friday the Wildcats smothered the Husky Frosh by taking all but five firsts. A preliminary entry list was issued by Coach Sam Carver Monday. The following are the events and the- men who will participate in them: mile, Hickenbottom, and Goodman; 440, Aylen; 100, McAulay and Ropes; 120 high hurdles. Ropes, McMillan and Munizza; 880, Hickenbottom and Gonsalves; 220, Ropes, Aylen, McMillan; two mile, Leu; 220 low hurdles, Ropes and McMillan; shot, Munizza, Mitchell, and Lindell; pole, McAulay, Low-ery, and Aylen; high jump, Low-ery, McAulay, and Nelson; broad jump, Mitchell, Lowery, Nelson, and Hickenbottom; javelin, Mitchell,, Munizza, and Dahl; discus, Muniz-za, Mitchell, and Lindell. Byron Grubb, Vik low hurdle ace, pulled a . muscle: last week and it is uncertain whether* he will compete today. Sprints will be the most vulnerable sRot for the Viking squad as they face the Wildcats. Coach Sam Carver, ~ however, expects his men to place well in field and distance events. McAulay in the pole and Munizza in the discus and shot are the Viking mainstays in the field; Hickenbottom and . Leu in distances-. 4 -/• ; .' ] The Viking's next meet will! be with Pacific Lutheran college, here, May 9. This will be the last home appearance; of WWC's track taem this season. .

Next week Coach Carver's divotmen will take a two day road trip. Their first opponent will be St. Martins on May 8. A match with Pacific Lutheran college May 9 will conclude thi. Vik's road trip. Last home game for the Viking golf squad this year will be their match with the University of Washington Frosh, May 15, WWC's divoteers will close their season with the Conference matches in Cheney starting May 22. No change in positions on the-.golf ladder have been made so far this week. Bob Smith, veteran of several - seasons under Carver, still maintains his place as number one man.

Publications Adviser Royalty Guests; Lunch at Hotel • "No, it won't be possible to interview the crown prince and princess because their time here is so limited," declared the Norwegian consul C. A. Stang. "However, if you wish to meet them you may come to the reception room and stand in the receiving line." Then as-a series of sirens announced the arrival of the royal couple he ejt-cused himself and hurried to the door: v Murmurs of "Oh, isn't she charming?" "I hear they're just like common people," "Isn't the prince good looking?" followed the pair as they entered the elevator, greeting the crowd: as they walked. Returning a few minutes later to the lobby of the Leopold hotel, the prince _-and princess were taken to the Fountain room where they were greeted by representatives of the city and; county governments and other organizations. Following this reception the royal party proceeded to the Crystal ballroom, where a luncheon in their honftr was held. As they entered the doorway everyone rose from his seat and applauded until the party reached their places at the head table. Then, as they remained standing the Norwegian and v American national anthems were sung. PRINCE SPEAKS After luncheon the crown prince of Norway gave an addressTon the courage and spirit of the Norwegian people in resisting Nazi forces which have .invaded their country• "We are jS^fesimore closely united in spirit and^omifibn. purpose with Americans than ever before in history," he declared. "The Norwegian Writer Gives Picture of'42 Campus Day • This week's better behavior column deals with how to enter properly into the spirit of Campus day. As you know, on former cam-ups days the main sports were mild deals such as swunming (The recognized technique being to hold your opponent's head under water until he ceased to utter protesting glugs); boat races (consisting of shooting holes in your oppponent's boat, hitting his men over the head with' your oars—while they last, then drifting helplessly about the lake for the duration); and various minor contests such as tossing ripe eggs, shoes, and the like (not ostensibly at definite targets, however) and applying the law of supply and demand to assorted pies (size 13%). "But this year things are gonna be —(censored) DIFFERENT!" At least according to co-chairman in chief, Frank Shiers. In the first place, the morning will be entirely taken up with such strenuous activities as clearing land (pioneer-style), chopping down the jungle and other assorted weeds, and straightening up the place generally. Our suggestion for men engaged in this type of recreation is to adopt an exploratory frame of mind; pretend you really are a pioneer, lost in darkest Africa. Who knows, you might even find Dr. Livingston! Even your roomie easily could be mistaken for- such a one after three weeks of beard-growing. Following this warming-up process the regular sports and contests will be engaged in by the women and the one or two men who survive.* In these, Marquis-of Queens-bury rules prevail. Contestants will kindly refrain from unsheathing their swords (striking with the sheath will be.sufficient), and brass knuckles will be permitted only on the left hand. Use of tennis rackets, baseball bats, and the aforementioned oars as weapons is frowned upon; after: all, they are school property and you woud probably have to pay for them. Winners in contests will be determined by survival of the fittest, and assorted straight-jackets will be provided for prizes. people have proven that their faith in the dignity of man and in the national rights of man as expressed in ,the Bill of Rights are worth fighting and dying for. They know within themselves that justice and righteousness will be victorious over the forces of evil and oppression." Though an interview was not secured the reporter left the hall highly pleased that she had at least been given the opportunity to shake hands with the royal couple.

Beatrice Ringgold said laughingly, "and I represent 50% of them. Lieut. Ringgold, officer of the WAAC, and Tuesday's assembly speaker, has headquarters in the Federal building in Belling-ham. Appearing very attractive and alive, the brown-haired lieutenant pointed out to the girls of WWp the purpose and organization of the Women's Auxiliary corps. "The WAAC is an army of American women whose members are enrolled for noncombatant duty to take the places of men who can be used in the fighting fronts." Lieut. Ringgold said in her address. "When you are enrolled as a WAAC auxiliary," she.- went on, "You will be sent to a training center for four weeks of basic training. This will include army orientation, drill, physical training and subjects such as mess management, property accounting, and map reading." According to Lieut. Ringgold, ev-ery WAAC, upon completion of basic training becomes eligible for entrance into one of several specialists schools, as well as becoming eligible for promotion to positions corresponding to non-commissioned officers' ranks in the army. "All officer candidates are now being taken from the ranks of the auxiliaries," explained Lieut. Ring- War Stamps Bought By Campus Kids • Students in the campus school have purchased $579.75 worth of defense stamps since the beginning of school this fall. October sales were $265.25 and November sales amounted to $222.60. $91.90 worth of stamps were sold in the first week of December. Stamps were sold on Thursday Of each week and the students are enthusiastically doing their 'part. Of the total amount, the primary and intermediate grades have contributed filLTO while the 'Junior -high school has purchased $168.00 worth of stamps. gold. "Selection of these candidates is determined by the ability and qualification they have for leadership.' WAACS Must Be Citixem "Any female citizen of the United States, between 21 and 44 years of age, inclusive, if she is physcally fit, intelligent, and of excellent character is qualified for enlistment," the WAAC officer informed her audience. "Married women who have children under 14 are already doing their part, and therefore are not acceptable." "There is a great need for WAACs," - continued Lieut. Ringgold, "for every two men in combat zones, there have, to be three people at home keeping them there." With the same lack of individuality that is associated with everyone in the service, Lieut. Ringgold was not very effusive in discussing* her personal life in the army. She went to De Pauw University in Green Castle, Indiana; from Green Castle she went to New York to work as a stenographer in a bank. "I was interested in a Pan Hellenic group and USO work; joining the WAACs seemed the logical thing to do,' she said with a smile. "I wasjnducted on July 9, 1942, and arrived in Fort Des Moines on July 20." With a twinkle in her blue eyes, Lieut. Ringgold replied, "I was just crazy about my first weeks of training." "Perhaps many of the girls aren't aware that the WAACs can wear civilian clothes off duty," concluded Lieut. Ringgold with a smile, "but who wants to?' ^Dateline . . • Friday, Dec. 11— Beginning of closed week.

Miss Hill was a member of the Valkyrie, Ski club, Homecoming committee, and Publications Prom princess in 1940. She is the daughter of Marie E. Hill of 2208 A street of this city. Miss Hill already has made several runs between Portland and Vancouver, B. C, stopping in Bel-lihgham once or twice a week. She is with the western division' and is stationed in Portland.' Because of the need for nurses with the armed forces, United Airlines has waived their former policy of employing only registered nurses, as employees. Any girl who has had at ieast two years of college or university work is now eligible for training as a stewardess. Schedule Set; Kids To Quiz Course Hour Day Instructor Room ART 1 8 Thurs.

Among the subjects to be offered are seamanship, piloting,^^ marineI engineering, meteorology, first-aid, and small arms. Several courses of special wartime significance for women also are being offered by the college. In addition to the regular teaching and pre-nursing curriculums, courses will be offered which will be of benefit in business industry and the uniformed services. All women are being urged to take at least one of these courses. Parking Meters Turned Down • Defeated by a vote of almost two to one, the parking meter proposition lost out in Saturday's city election. A guarantee against defects had been placed on the meters for one year from installation. They were to be paid for by receipts only, and the city was to first reimburse the company by deducting the actual cost of, installation, freight, and handling charges. All remaining receipts were to be considered net value after the deduction and allowance for profit and loss had . been made. According to the wording of the company lease, city officials fear the city may be subject to a possible suit. A final statement in the lease read ,as follows: "nothing herein contained shall be construed as in any way limiting or effecting the meter company's right to pursue or enforce any remedy provided by law in the event of a breach of this agreement by the city." Air Corps Physicals Held in ©ym • Western Washington college men who have enrolled in the army aviation reserve were put through their physical examinations in the college gym Monday. Major I. C. Munger and Lieuts. John Minnell and Lt. M. M. Ha-worth were here or the examinations, which were: completed Tuesday. Press Conference Called Off • Word has again been received from Saint Martin's college, Lacey, Washington, that the Washington Intercollegiate Press Association conference has defintely been cancelled for this quarter because of transportation difficulties. The conference was to be held today and tomorrow with representatives from many Washington colleges. 11 SHOPPING DAYS .UNTIL CHRISTMAS College Enrollment Decreases Rapidly • A nationwide trend which has resulted in a drop of nearly 14 per cent in enrollment in institutions of higher education from October, 1941, to October, 1942, was reported last week by the UJS. Office of Education. One-third of the men now enrolled in college are 18-19 year olds, and when that draft goes into effect, and even greater drop in the enrollment will be noticed. Decrease in the enrollment of women is 11.2 percent, while that of men is off 15.5 per cent. The combined drop comes to 13.7 per cent. The heaviest drop occurred in junior colleges which lost 24.3 per cent of their students during the year. Corresponding decreases for certain types of schools are—teachers colleges and normal schools, 21.4 per cent, and universities, colleges of liberal arts, and professional schools, 10.7 per cent. This report is based on answers to a questionnaire sent to all types of institutions of higher education in all parts of the country. Army Women Attend College • Women attending college or business schools at the time' of their enrollment in the WAACS now remain on an inactive status until completion of the present school year or the course^ for which they are enrolled, if it can be completed in less than one year, according to. Sergeant Raymond Giesecke, local army recruiter. Sergeant Gie,secke said previous to this order there were no provisions permitting an accepted aux1 iliary to remain in the inactive reserve for an extended period. , Information regarding enrollment in the WAACS may he obtained at the local recruiting station in the federal building. r .Reserves To Dance • One week from tonight is the date set for the annual Girl Reserve Sno-BaU tolo.

Terrace House Occupants Excited by Snow Fallv Thanks to a few gals from the dorm, all of the Terrace house inmates were, awakened by an unwanted face washing last Saturday morning when Bellingham was so completely camouflaged in a blanket of snow. Just because the snow fell so did everybody else. Vivian Struzenberg and Amy Johnson are still suffering from tender black and blue bruises obtained while tripping too lightly down the back stairs. Maxine Blick still thinks shes the man on the flying tapeze—-you know, the part where "he flys through the air with the greatest of ease;" She hit hard at the bottom. At the last house meeting the girls decided to" contribute their bit to the war effort by entertaining sx service men at a Christmas dinner "tomorrow night. Food—for a change—was the main attraction of a Christmas tea given, last Monday by Rhoda Blair and Amy. Johnson. Those attending "were: Jean Wittier, Maribel Suthers, Eleanor McGuire, Betty Lou Brigham, Lynette Daves', Vivian Stfuzenburg, Maxine Blick, and Olive Strom. Vike's Prexy "of Age" , Following the play on Saturday nght, the girls at Vikes held a surprise birthday party for Dottie Toppano, house president.

Avocados, feathery potatoes, ayocados, gravy gt; veal chops, avocados, turnips, carrots, avocados, spaghetti, cranberries, cookies arid ice cream, and avocados. Think of all those calories. Speaking of food "Stinky" Stangle and "Chowderhead" Douglas entertained Shirley Heaton at dinner Wednesday night. (Because of the deadline we have to meet the only definite thing on the menu is lemon meringue pie.) "Red" Competes with Huhta "Montesanb Red" is now working in a men's clothing store downtown. He announces that he is going into direct competition with Harley Huhta, district representative of the P. H. Davis company, of Cincinnati, Ohio. The big hews for the Hospice boys is the Christmas party dinner given each year by Mrs. Stearns for her boys.

(a) Big Ten; (b) ---------- WWCollegian - 1942 December 11 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, D?ceif gt;ber ;V1, 1942 Western ^shing^Cblie^bfEdu \m- Bench Splinters . . collected by /. dorcy • « • « -• Back in the almost prehistoric times of the eighteen hundreds, the A1I-American football teams looked something like this: a, b, and c, of Yale; x, y, z, of Harvard; q, r, and s, of Princeton; and g, and h, of Dartmouth. Later, along about the early nineteen-hundreds ,the powers that be branched out and included someone'from such far off places as Pennsylvania, New York and possibly even Virginia. Everyone knew that they were too busy fighting Indians out past the frontier (the Appalachian mountains) to play any football When teams from Chicago, Notre Dame, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and points west traveled east and whipped the daylights out of the highly touted eastern football powers, the board of selections graciously included a middle westerner or two in the mythical team. The twenties saw a frantic scurrying for maps, as places such as California, Texas, Washington, Oregon, and Nebraska were heard from. Finally the Easterners conceded defeat and the All-Americah teams were selected from all over the country. Now, in 1948, we are faced with a strong reactionary movement. The 1942 All-American team, according to title United Press, includes men from as far west as Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota, but no farther. Boston College has four men on the first two teams. Those Eagles must have quite a ball club. However, we've got a few boys on the coast who can play ball,.too. Washington State's Bob Kennedy and Nick Suseoff, Washington's Walt Harrison, and Stanford's Taylor can play ball on any team in the country* From all reports the boys from the "cow colleges" are sort of burned up. It ought to make for an interesting game in San Francisco when the easterner All-Stars meet the western All-Stars on January 1. The westerners have a disconcerting (to the easterners) habit of taking their opponents, into camp and it looks as though the unknowns from west, of the Mississippi will be playing for-keeps this year. . .. TROJANS TANGLE. WITH BRUINS Tomorrow USC's Trojans tangle with UCLA's' Bruins.' Upon the but-"' .'come;of the game hinge four things. They aire: (a) the football-chanl-pionship of Los Angeles; (b) the. football championship of the Pacific Coast conference; (c) the honor' and glorjr of meeting Frarikie Sinkwich and his Georgia teammates in the Rose Bowl; and (d) a'share of the gate which is expected to amount to about one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). The man on the street favors the Bulldogs over either one .of the California teams but that kind of money will buy a^iot of. salve to heal any and all wounds incurred in the fracas. Next year the name of Mel Hein will be just a memory among'the professional football followers. Mel attended Burlington High school and Washington State college. From there he went on to become one of the all-time greats in the professional ranks. During his twelve years with the New York Giants he was picked for the all-league taem eight times and was voted the most valuable player n the league in 1938. MUNIZZA AND MONROE MAKE PORTLAND U. TEAM Larry Munizza and Doug Monroe were picked for Portland Universitys all-opponent team... Did you notice that the term "play ball" started the action in Africa?... Cheney will be tough this year if that Washington State 42, Cheney 40 score is any indication.. The Coast league is represented by 56 men in the armed forces while about thirty have been drafted or sold to the majors. With that and the ban on night baseball it will be prettty tough sledding for the boys next year... Our Viks made a good showing against the Alpines last week. While they didn't figure to beat a team with that much height and experience the game was closer than the score would indicate... Here are. this weeks questions. The answers will be found on another page: 1 In what conference are the following teams? a. Illinois a. Illinois; b. Tulsa; c. Nebraska; d. Alabama. 2.

Ernie Ludwick Cops Ping Pong Crown • Hail to the champ!.. Ernie Ludwick was crowned ping pong champion of WWfc yesterday as he defeated Nath Richardson in a hard fought match 25-23, 22-20, and 21- 24, in the finals of the annual tournament: Ludwick. previously had defeated Fred Strankman 21-19, 14-21, and 21-11, while Richardson had defeated "Butch" Faller by the scores of 21-10 and 21-19, in the seM-finals. ' - -Nicky pu1r;'t#v i"y:|M-;?fiififci , :' stated tn« new champ, 'Txit his best WRA After Money '' • WRA members have taken as their project to raise money for the student lounge, the selling of cokes at the basketball games. According to Eleanor Anderson and- Doris Yngve, co-chairmen of ifiis committee, cokes will be1 sold ai the half at all basketball garnet and the proceeds turned over to the\ stu-. dent lounge fund NorseToppled 4l-3dt By AAU Champs; Veterans Brilliant ....• Western Washington College Vikings showed plenty of stamina and spirit as they were defeated by a highly trained Alpine Dairy outfit in the season opener last Friday night. The Viks managed to get the lead only once, that in the first half when after 17 minutes of play they led briefly by a score of 14 to 13, but it wasn't all Alpine until the last four minutes of play, when they scored nine points in a row while the Viks were held scoreless. Ludwick Paces Stalwart. Ernie Ludwick led the Viking scorers with nine points, while ex-Husky Bob Voelker paced the dairymen with 10. Workhorse "Bones" Lowery along with Bob Graf, Ross Werner, and Willy Hilton of the Alpines all had seven points to their credit. In the preliminary the Supervar-, sity swamped the YM by a. 63 to 31 score, iiuhizza and Richardson were high scorers for the Supers.

I Know; D you • One of the youngest men on the Viking basketball roster is a good short description. It is unfortunate that the Vikings do not have a baseball team in some sort of a conference as this fellow can do plenty with a baseball bat and mitt. In fact he was good enough that he^was given a tryout by the Coast league champions this last summer right after he graduated from high school.. He did all right for htaiself and will possibly go to. their spring 'training Vamp. But baseball isn't his only game. Alhtough he is not an extremely high scorer he was good enough to make his conference all-star first team when a junior and made the second team in his senior year. Speaking of high school records it must be said that he made a letter in tennis as well as the other sports mentioned. Not quite ready for the varsity team here at school this fellow probably will be up with the best before the 1942-43 basketball season is finished. WE CALL FOR AND DELIVER GEO.

Dear Editor: the Valkyrie club is not responsible for the slams taken at the band and W club, which appeared in a recent edition of the WWCollegian.

(Ed. note: This explanation is referring to a letter which appeared in the student opinion column, "Letting Off Steam," November 27.) 'Prince of Liars' Top Success • "The Prince of Liars," a three-act comedy by Sydney Grundy, and presented by the Bellingham Theater Guild will end with Saturday night's performance. Heading the cast is Ronald Lund, as Arthur Hummingtop, a badly henpecked husband due to the influence of his eagle-eyed mother-in-law, who is visiting his home. Circumstances drive him to a succession of lies that constantly trip him up, and finally land him in the doghouse with everybody. The story is full of surprises, even to Rosa, the Queen of the Sawdust Ring, played by Phyllis Ann Hel-berg. Of course, Arthur manages to straighten tilings out to everyone's satisfaction, and the way in which he goes about it is nothing short of hilarious. ; Other oustanding performances iare given by: Denton Hatfield, Hen- |ry^ BiesneuveC Ed Olsen, Margaret JArchibald, Mazila King Ford, Ar- Jene Everetz, and Sue Kennedy. Audiences Approve; 'Male Animal' Declared Success • Many more than favorable comments have been circulating around the campus concerning "The Male Ariimal." New to some, the-penthouse style production again proved enjoyable. Opinions of a few students who saw the play proved that the Drama department is more than worth of this week's orchids. Asked the question, "What did you think of The Male Animal,' these replies were given: Bernice Renius—I thought the cast was very well chosen. Bill Brown—It was pretty good after I got used to the penthouse style. I couldnt quite catch on when the players were supposed to look out a window, and they looked, right at the audience. ' Norma Stangle—The scene where Ellen has tantrums, and Tommy became the self-important male over matters o touching or not touching her was a small riot. But the payof came when Ellen appeared shining, dry-eyed, and nonchalant. Dorothea Waters—I thought it was very good—especially Patricia, but maybe I'm prejudiced. Ralph Major—It was swell. The boys rom Hospice stole the show. (I wonder where Maj lives?). Mary Ann McLeod—Bob Stuart as Dean Damon turned in a very good performance. Gerald Hartman—It was good. I especially liked that Doc Damon. Irene Ohetwood—I still liked it after seeing it three times. She; accompanied on her violin). Nan Randellr-I liked the drunk scene. Those boys must have practiced. Red Wright—I thought it was pretty good, but there weren't enough girls in it to suit me. Mary Lou Hull—I especially liked the way Don Neal looked around for his vase. Don Packard—I thought it was the best play I've ever seen put on by amateur performers. Stearns Treats Boys To Eats • To get into the Christmas spirit early the boys of Hospice Inn will hold their annual dinner next Sunday evening, December 13, at 6:30, in the house dining room. One of the unusual things about the dinner is that it will be completely 'stag" except for the presence of Mrs. Stearns, the housemother, who is sponsoring the affair. Eliot Gilmore will play several piano selections, the fellows hope, and everyone will join in the singing of Christmas carols. Some of the former house members now in the service may attend the feast. NOW WE ALL KNOW ANSWER: "Butch' Faller, freshman from Mount Vernon. Shopping Daze Yours Truly BUSSES BELLINGHAM TO SEATTLE 6:30 a. m. and hourly on half-hour until 6:30 p. m., then 8:30 p. m. Additional trips Sundays and holidays at 7:30 and 9:30 p. m.- Two Trips Daily to Vancouver Frequent Schedules to All Points East and South By JEAN ELAINE MULVANEY • Amid the concentration of studying, dread thoughts of tests, and night.owl's hours, don't forget that "yours truly" must remember that seemingly far-off haze called Christmas. Think of it; a peaceful vacation, snowdrifts piled high, the tinkle of bells, glitter and tinsel, the decorated tree, the presents— PRESENTS! Suddenly a remnant spark ignites in the muddled mind of the overburdened student. There are only ten more shopping days till Christmas! Visions of the family float before this students mind; Mother, bustling around with the holiday atmosphere; Father, reluctantly loosening the strings of his purse; Brother Bill, guffing forth with the latest in double talk, and last but not least, Sister Suzy with her ominous remarks to favorite boy friends. Where in this frenzied whirl, is this moron going to find time to buy gifts expressing all his good will to devoted family and friends, with six weeks work piled up before him: Then out of the night a kindly-friend suggests the Co-op. So with plenty of jingle, he saunters over. There, arrayed before him are presents suitable for all his devoted tribe and friends. After looking things over, a dickie is decided upon for Suzy, a wallet for pop, book for mother, pen for brother, stationery for friend Jane, mystery stories for uncle, and a key case for the "weak moment." "Yaurs truly" now walks back to the drudge both contented and broke. But faintly is heard the tinkle of belis, the crunch of powder snow. The smell of savouring dinner. Again the Cd-op has proved a life saver for a rushed student. EVERGREEN THEATRES Service Fund, Blue Trangle Plugged By Howard Willits By JOHN DORCY, • "My visit to WWC serves a dual purpose," explained Howard Willits, national student secretary for college and university YMCA's and YWCA's. _ "The first purpose is to assist the Blue Triangle, one of the organizations on your campus which has a religious background. I travel in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana," explained Mr. Willits in a precise, well-modulated, voice, "visiting ^all of the colleges and universities. I speak, advise, and help in any way I can, the various Christian organizations on the campuses." Mr. Willits went on to explain that he was especially anxious to have the Blue Triangle send representatives to the Seabeck College conference. "This conference,' he explained, "is an annual affair and representatives from all of the colleges in the northwest states take part in it. It is held in June of each year, Just after school is out." "My second purpose," he continued, "is ot arouse interest in the World Student Service fund. Homer Loh spoke to you about it some time ago, "I believe. I wish to confer with your committee and assist them in any way I can to make the drive a big success." ea mpfi NOW PLAYING "PANAMA HATTIE" —With— Red Skelton-Ann Sothern —And— "EYES in the NIGHT" —With— Edward Arnold-Ann Harding This Show moves to The American Sunday MT.

The Evergreen. /#b lt; vLIuiijjf (g JPBIf IL to (B MgCTS^ ACP's ley RiekUr Repoito WASHINGTON—(ACP)—Right now the lid is down tight on information cencerning the army's plan for sending drafted 'teen age men back to college. Offiicals and educators here say it soon will be spelled out in detail. However it is a virtual certainty that all 18 and 19 year olds who are drafted-whether or not they're college men-will be eligible to take tests to determine whether they shall be assigned to colleges and universities for technical and scientific training. They probably will be selected on the basis of education, as well as for "qualities of leadership, military ability and aptitude for more education." It is unlikely that 'teen age plan will resemble the current "contract" arrangement both the army and navy already have with some colleges. Under the contract plan, men already in the services are assigned to colleges for short periods of training, usualy three months. It appears that 'teen age men will get longer periods of training of a highly specialized and intensive character. The back-to-college plan, or whatever it may be called, is likely to hit small arts colleges hard. The army and navy probably will take over the physical facilities of many of them to train men in technical subjects. The art of war leaves little room for other arts. FOOTNOTE ON WAR There is a manpower problem in Germany with tragic overtones. Preparations are reported/under way for professional military training of boys 1 4and 15 years old.

The moving picture "Stromboli," because of the recent well-publicized amorous antics of itsleading lady and director, is stirring up a variety of reactions throughout this country. Showing of thepicture has already been forbidden by some authoritative, groups in American communities. Otherlocalities have determined to judge the movie on its own merits without attempting to pass judgment onthe extra-curricular activities of its principals. On the local scene, the Bellingham Council of Churches has passed a resolution urging the local censor board to ban the picture to Bellingham audiences. Thecensor board has not yet acted, their next meeting being scheduled for next week. The chairman of thelocal board has announced, however, that he favors making a decision based solely on the merits of thepicture itself. In a democracy, censorship in any form or degree is a breach of our essential principles.This power should be both granted and exercised in the least degree possible. Perhaps censors areabusing their authority in banning "Stromboli" as a moral chastisement of Ingrid for an incident in herprivate life that has no relationship to her talents as an actress. On the other hand, the censors mustalso consider the large sentiment against Rossellinin and his mistress, and the effect that this publicityhas on American youth, who may feel that whatever their idols can get away with, they can also do withimpunity. —P. G. By GARY BRANDNER The recent movie, "Battleground," illustrates graphically thecontrast between the motion pictures and, to a greater extent, the novels which appeared during the warand those after V-J day. To prove the point we'll take a typical battle scene and show how it might havebeen presented, first while the war was still on, and how we see it,now. The scene is an island in thePacific, the time, 1943, the characters Eddie and Dave, enlisted men, and Kendall, a lieutenant. Eddie has a glamorous bandage around his head but he is manning his gun anyway. Eddie: Got any waterleft, Dave? I'm mighty thirsty. Dave: Sure, Eddie. Here y'are. Eddie: Thanks. Say, is this all you've gotleft? Dave: Nah! There's another canteen. (There really isn't any more, but Eddie is wounded and Daveis his. buddy.) Eddie: You know what I'm going to do when I get out of this? First, I'm going to seeMom, then I'm I going down to Kockelmeier's drug store and order the biggest marsh-mallow sundae he's got. With nuts. Fred: Say, here comes Lt. Kendall. He's sure one good Joe. Kendall: Hello, boys.Eddie and Fred: Hello, sir. Kendall: Skip the "sir," fellows. As you know, that one machine gun nest hasbeen giving us a bad time. Somebody has to sacrifice himself; so I'm taking this hand grenade and going up there to wipe them out. So long, fellows. (Fred carefully sticks his gum on his helmet, socks thelieutenant, grabs the grenade, winks at Eddie, mutters, "Better me than him," and dives into themachine gun nest himself, blowing several Japs and Fred to little bits.) The scene changes to a paradeground. Lt. Kendall, now a major, is speaking to the massed troops with a tear in his eye and a catch inhis voice. Kendall: . . . And so, it is with the greatest gratitude and humility that I award posthumouslyto Fred Fairfield, the congresisonal medal, the legion of merit, the silver stir, etc.,§ etc. _ ,.* THESAME: 1950 VERSION Eddie: Hey, how about a lovin' can of beer?

College of Puget Sound are studying the aspectsof an eligibility rule in the Evergreen conference bylaws. This committee will recommend changes at the Evergreen Rules committee meeting to be held at the University of British Columbia on May 19and 20. The present rule allows an athlete to participate in Evergreen competition for one school,transfer to a junior college for a year, and | go to another conference school the next year andparticipate. Under the proposed change an athlete transferring from one Evergreen conference school toanother is required to wait one year before participating in any sport for another school in theEvergreen conference. When transferring to another school three quarters in attendance will alsobe a must before the student is eligible for any sport. The rule change became necessary when it wasfound that the Junior colleges were "draining off" some of the Evergreen talent. —Cut CourtesyBellingham Herald Shown above is Hal Norgaard, six-foot tall forward on the Viking basketball five.

How to Please Men Is Popular Course By MARY JANE ZUANICHAlmost any boy will tell you that women go to college only to hook a man. Whether this.is true or not— I'm not saying, but . . . home economics is about the most popular course on the campus. One of the most enjoyable of the home economics classes is meal preparation. As well as preparing meals thesegals give teas, dinners, and luncheons. A luncheon for the board of trustees was a recentaccomplishment of this class. There is no class which is a prerequisite to meal preparation andtherefore it makes a good elective for a do-mesticminded co-ed. There is a catch to it all, however, asyou must suffer for your own mistakes by eating your results during lunch. •Looking in on the sewingclasses you can make an almost perfect prediction of what the well-dressed college gals will be wearingthis spring. Most of the girls are making cotton dresses, with waffle pique being the number onechoice for the material. There are a few making formals for the junior prom. Whether you're majoring in science or math it wouldn't hurt to take up a little cooking and sewing. I t helps! Ma got pa, didn't she,and I'll bet she wasn't any Einstein! Smoker Schedule by "W" Club, Turnout Starts Immediately NormHash, "W" club prexy, has announced that all boxing aspirants should cultivate their talents inpreparation for the annual smoker to be held in the near future. Plans for the bouts are tentative, andthe committee in charge wants all interested students to submit their names, along with pertinent data such as height, weight, and age to the committee. The bouts will be arranged according to thisinformation. Any grudges can be decided at this time if the weights correspond and both parties arewilling to accept this medium to settle their difficulties. Last quarter the "W" club held a similar affair and it was proclaimed a success by everyone in attendance. All potential boxers are asked tocontact Norm Hash, Sam Carver, or Jack Ross' in the P. E. depart ment as soon as possible so conditioning can be started.

Edens Hopes ToLodge a Foreign Student The girls at Edens hall are hoping that next fall they'll have some displacedwoman student from Europe living at the dorm. To make it possible for her to live at Edens, the AWS,who is sponsoring this, will need the co-operation of the students at Western. Some of the girls at thedorm made quite a haul on Valentine's day. Anne Nord got a box in the mail which literally containedeverything Jrom pencils to peanuts . . . including pop corn, potato chips, scotch tape, and candy.Peggy Strauss got 15 dozen cookies and Eleanor Lycan got a box of Valentine candy; so did ZonaDaverin.

Skits Performed By Kluane ^At House PartyKluane was analogous to a nuthouse Wednesday evening, February 8.

Participating wereLinda Rinearson, Margie fHedlund, Connie Wright, Mae Orchard, Mary Nelson, and Pat Price. Verlene Pease and LaVerne Bartholomew gave a song and dance routine that was so catchy it even confused the participants. Characterizing two prim old ladies "•were Lillian Landall and Fran Har-cus who sangverses depicting some of the girls in the house. A clever reading and poem were recited by MarybethSterneman and Janet Craig. The basement floor presented an ^exceedingly original version of "RagMop," and if anyone can look like mops Joan Bartlett, Joedy Habeggar, and Barbara Lamp can.

Ah! thou lovely pile, soul of the campus, where the estheticdepartments are templed. The way is obstructed by mud and scaffolding, but this does not halt thepilgrim in search of beauty. We drag one foot after another out of the oozing, sucking, mud until thesanctuary of the, front door is reached. This is truly the threshold of a treasure house, we tell ourselvesas we open the front door. Inside, the smell of paint and new linoleum and a strange silence permeatethe atmosphere. We wander about empty halls, peering through windows into something new inclassrooms. Big places they are, painted in pastel shades that seem conducive to meditation (asdistinguished from sleep). There are doors marked "dark room," "metal-urgy,'? "woodworking,"auditorium," and "library." Industrial arts rooms these; the sound of the forge, the hum of machinery,the smell of a hot saw eating raw wood will soon make them live. These halls are truly reminiscent of the spirit that built our country. MANY MODERN STUDIOS Enough of this musing over the blacksmith'sart. We must go upstairs to the Art department. Here we encounter not the attic hovels of our Art 101days. These are mod.- ern studios in every sense of the meaning.

'Menagerie' Offers Escape From Life By VICTOR HOPPE What is your favorite way of dodging responsibility? How do you retire fromthe stern realities of daily life? Many of us devise escape mechanisms which keep up occupied,distracted and insulated. Perhaps you follow the comic-strip with eager anticipation; it may be you get your release from the dull consequences of living by going to the movies. Some can lose themselvesin stamp collecting, bottle top treasure, or merely setting the features in a glazed position in collegeclassrooms— and day dreaming. Tennessee Williams has now become a specialist in escapedevices in the theater. In both his- later plays, "Streetcar" and "Summer and Smoke," the feminine leads build up a fictional life entirely removed from the real one. "Glass Menagerie" is a comedy of escape.Laura, the crippled daughter, retreats from her frustrations into a world of little glass animals, which shepolishes, dusts and adores. So "Glass Menagerie" shows most amusingly and pathetically what weall tend to do at times—retreat'-'from problems into some private place(.of our gt; own, wherewej£ah\'momefcaHly^ ness. .

West J* Last Call For Writer Copy Members of the "Writer" group moved swiftly this week tolay all plans preparatory to publication of Western's literary magazine by the beginning of the springquarter. All material to be judged for publication, John Graham, student editor of the "Writer" announced, must be in the office of A n n i s Hovde, English instructor, not later than next Monday. Hovde's office is located in "the annex building. Editorial requirements are high, Graham pointed out, and the numberof incoming short stories, poems, essays and other forms of creative writing is growing. -• However, he stated further, competition is open to all. / TRY OUR ICE CREAM Medcalf's Dairy Members of the"Writer" editorial board also suggested in their Wednesday meeting this week that all' Englishinstructors be invited to submit themes written by talented students. The board is particularly interestedin finding literary-minded freshmen to whom the "Writer" might fall heir in the future. Graham statedthat the group is expectant of publishing the finest "Writer" in the history of the literary magazine. "The material is of the highest quality," he said.

Plans for a special tea and dinner have been completed, according to Betty Dodge and Barbara teHen-nepe, chairmen of the two committees. Beverly McNally, general chairman, announces that the decorations will follow the nursery rhyme theme. The program is as follows: Beatrice Burquist will play two piano solos, Carol Swanson will give the reading "At the Movies", and Marj Thompson will sing vocal selections, accompanied by Audreye Miller ,who will also play for group singing. Pouring at the tea will be Mrs. M. T. Anderson, Mrs. B. Harmon, Mrs. Edna Easterbrooks, and Mrs. S. Royse. Girls and their guests will be Marilyn Anderson, Mrs. M. T. Anderson; Rebecca Terry, Mrs. M. E. Terry; Beatrice Burquist, Mrs. Burquist; Jean Goehrs, Mrs. W. R. Goehrs; Ann Easterbrooks, Mrs. Edna Easterbrooks; Marjory Jones, Mrs.Harlin Jones and Mrs. Grace Pontius; Donna Harmon, Mrs. R. Harmon; Gerry Woodward, Mrs. M. Woodward. Others are Virginia Sorgenfrei, Food Highlights Campus Day An assembly will be held at nine a. m. on Campus Day, before all students and instructors head for Whatcom Palls Park. Each organized club, house and class will present a skit in this assembly, and a prize will be given to the one judged best. Wednesday, May 9, is the date set for the big event, and transportation will be by special busses, except for those preferring their own cars or foot travel. Baseball will be one of the features of the day, and many other favorite games and activities will be enjoyed. Wonderful, delicious, and plenteous food is promised by the members of that committee. And according to co-chairman Beverly McNally, Campus Day planners are also hoping for lots of bright sunshine. Special costumes are always worn on the day before Campus Day, but news of what this year's special garb will be cannot yet be" revealed. Announcement will be made later. Another traditional feature of the festival is the evening entertainment, either a dance in the Student Lounge, or mixed rec at the gymnasium. Pinal decision on this has not yet been made, but some type of evening activity will be included • on the day's roster. Daclc Buys Land The Lakewood property that belongs to the college and is held in trust by Dr. E. A. Bond was sold in part to George Dack, WWC head gardener. The property originally consisted of 90 acres. The property which has been sold is the part above the road which has never been used for any recreational activities. Mrs. L.

Sixty Co-eds Hear Jack Teagarden Sixty-five college girls boarded busses at Edens Thursday, bound for Whidby Island where they danced with Navy sailors to the music of Jack Teagarden's trombone and band. Highlight of the evening was the intermission entertainment which starred especially talented members of the band. Refreshments were served at that time. Teagarden's band will make a special appearance at the Bellingham Armory tonight. Enrollment: Totals Of the 230 students enrolled in WWC, 200 are women and 30 are men. The percentages according to clasification are: freshmen 44.78, sophomores 17.39, juniors 15.21, seniors 11.30, graduates 00.45, specials 10;87. The greatest number of students enrolled at WWC come from Whatcom county, with 120. Skagit county is next, with 14 enrollees. Then follows King county numbering 11; Snohomish with 10; Kitsap county, 8; Clallam and Clark counties, each 6; Pierce county, 5; Chelan, Lewis. San Juan, each 4; Cowlitz and Pacific, each 3; Grays Harbor and Thurston counties, each 2; Jefferson, Kittitas, Mason and Stevens counties, each 1. Out of state students include. Alaska, 4; California, 3; Canada, 2; Idaho, 3; Iowa, 2; Kansas, 1; Massachusetts, 1; Michigan, 2; Missouri, 1; Nebraska, 1; Oregon, 3; and Texas, 1. Board to Choose Journalism Head Applications for the positions of editor of the WWCollegian, business manager of the Collegian, and editor of the Navigator have been called for by the Board of Control. Work on the Navigator will be done this quarter, but Collegian positions are for the school year 1945-46. Applications for these positions should be made to the Board of Control, and anyone interested should see Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet, publications adviser, about letters of recommendation to the board. Appointments are being made early, so that the new officers may have the benefit of the experience of the present staff. members, many of whom will not be here next year. The Navigator will be the same size as previous ^ears, and will be printed for both 1945 and 1946 at the same time. Printing of the Navigator, a handbook for new students, was started in 1940, with Charles Kilbourne, now a navy lieutenant, as editor. ACE Convention Attended By WWCE Delegates State executive board of the ACE held a meeting at the YWCA in Seattle, April 14. Miss Synva Ni-col, kindergarten teacher from WWCE, presided over the meeting. Other representatives from this college were Miss Katherine Casanova and Elaine Dahigren. Miss Reynolds, a representative of the National Advisory Committee of ACE and Miss Elizabeth Net-erer, a recent guest of WWC, botird members and representatives of various schools throughout the state participated in the discussion. The most important matter discussed was the new ACE Constitution. It \vas adopted by the group later in the meeting. Another important item of business was where funds could be obtained with which to send Miss Nicol to Washington, D. C, to the National ACE Convention sometime in May. It was finally agreed to ask branch groups tc contribute to the cause. Election of next year's officers was another feature of the convention. Dr. Kuder Visits Schools In State Dr. Merle Kuder will represent WWC in the Southwestern Washington Caravan which will visit high school seniors during the week of April 23-27. This caravan consists of one representative from each college in the state. The group will begin their speaking tour in Vancouver and cover schools between there and Olympia. Dr. Paul Grim will also visit high school seniors in Skagit county in the near future. Coach Charles Lappenbusch is to visit high school seniors in Southwest Washington, covering high schools that will not be visited by the caravan. He will leave April 26. American Relations Discussed Here T. R. Ybarra, international jour-, nalist, spoke to the students and faculty Tuesday at the regular assembly hour. His subject was, "What Next In Latin America?" Mr. Ybarra has recently traveled through the South American and Pan American countries, discovering their problems especially in relation to the United States. He cautioned-that the U. S. should make sure that our southern allies in .war will remain our friends in peace. He told briefly the main points' of interest concerning the 20 republics, their characteristics and their views of the United States. He gave special emphasis to the three leading countries, Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Special Editions Under Way Special spring activities of the WWCollegian are beginning this week with the advent of the newsletter and special high school edition of the Collegian. The newsletter is a publication sent to all the former WWC students now in the service. It contains stories of campus life of the year 1944-45 and of the changes around school that would interest its readers. This year the newsletter is under, the chairmanship of Charlotte Samples, June White, and Daisie Ann Earling. The high school edition of the WWCollegian is a seven-column newspaper which is sent to about 6,000 high school students in the state of Washington. Its purpose is to give high school students a brief idea of life at WWC. This special edition will come out next week instead of the regular Collegian. Catherine Anderson will be associate editor. Peggy Custer is in charge of a war ex.tra which will be run off the press as soon as VE Day is declared, whether it be day or night. The Collegian and Klipsun staffs are combining their annual banquets this year because of a duplication of staff members on both publication staffs. The banquet will be held the latter part of May at one of the Bellingham hotels. Roosevelt Memorial Assembly Held Students gathered in the assembly last Friday to pay tribute to our late president, Franklin D. Roosevelt. The memorial service began with the playing of a record of Mr. Roosevelt's speech on December 8, 1941, following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Rev. Clarence Haugen, of Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, delivered a memorial speech and led the assembly in prayer. His speech reviewed Mr. Roosevelt's life and 12 years in office, and mourned his untimely death so shortly after the start of his fourth term. Doris Tedford, ASB president, played the Star-Spangled Banner and led the students in the flag salute. Oratorical Contest Finished In State The last of a series of Post-Intelligencer James Monroe oratorical contests has come to an end. A few days ago, four contestants from the state of Washington met in Seattle to give their speeches in a contest to see who would win the $300 in War Bonds and the trip to California, to compete in the regional'contest. Participant from WWC was Elaine Dahigren. Last year she gained second place in the same 4ype of contest and again this year Elaine made a good showing for the alma mater. The winner of this year's contest was the entrant from Seattle College. 71ol se . . notes By THE ED. S i n c e freshmen are again this year in the majority, there are, therefore, many of you who know very little about Campus Day. Campus Day is one of our oldest traditions here on the campus and one of the most delightful. The committee has already selected Whatcom Falls Park for the 4scene and May 9 for the date. But back of that are years of history that have brought Campus Day into its present traditional standing. Until last year, when we^made our trek to Whatcom Falls Park due to rationing problems, the day was celebrated at Lake Whatcom at the college site there, Lakewood. This all started back in 1923, May 11, to be exact, when the students packed up their lunches and traveled by boat to Normal Eighty Acres to clear the land. That year it was a work day and it was the same the following year. The next few years the clean-up work was done on campus, including the athletic field and the section ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 April 20 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, April 20, 1945 ESTABLISHED 1899 WAR: Published Every Friday, Except During Expect most a n y d a y now t o h e ar the month of September, by the Associated Students.

Adviser tage, larceny, and burglary. Si'doiiali President Roosevelt is dead. That phrase was heard in every corner of the world just one week ago. Millions of p e o p l e were shocked and grieved by his death. Everyone asked, "What does this mean to us and to the world, both now and after the war is over? I would revise that slightly and ask, "What does this mean to us as students?" A STUDENT'S VIEW Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a great man and a very great statesman. He gave his life for his country just as any other soldier of this war has done. His personal health and well-being were forgotten, in his effort to carry on the duties placed before him. Even though he died before peace was declared, he was able to see that it would soon come and that the work he had done and the sacrifices he had made would help to bring us lasting peace. TRUMAN FOLLOWS POLICIES His job is not finished by any means. President Truman has declared that our policies in war and peace will follow the pattern already set up. We, as students, have a very important job to do. Part of us will someday be teachers; part of us may be doctors, lawyers, businessmen, legislators or housewives. No matter what our occupation may be, or what we are, we cannot ignore either the war or the peace which is to follow. Our most important job now is to prepare ourselves to understand the problems involved in world peace and international cooperation. This can only be done by educating'ourselves. We who are in college are only a very small percentage of the population of our own country and an even smaller percentage when we consider the population of the whole world. We must educate ourselves in order that we in turn may help others to learn. The memory of this great man, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, will always remain in our hearts and will EDUCATION: Members of Washington's Russian colony are avid and earnest students of the English language. In a recent English class, the teacher asked: "What does the word 'straight' mean? Up shot the hand of one of the more studious Russians. He. give us the courage to continue the struggle for freedom until the task is accomplished. —Doris Tedford. A young man was seen going into a church in a large city last Friday, and upon being asked later why he had gone into the church, said, " I always pray when a friend of mine dies and Franklin D. Roosevelt was my friend." This feeling of friendship between the late President and so many millions of people has never been equalled and may never be equalled in the future. Mr. Roosevelt's leadership in behalf of the equalization of opportunity, our defense against the Axis, and a peaceful world was great, but perhaps it could not have been achieved without the warmth of his personality. —Dr. W. W. Haggard. ROOSEVELT MOURNED With the passing of Franklin D. Roosevelt last week, the United States and the world lost a great leader. He has been paid many tributes during the past few days, tributes which express the way his people felt about their President. They reveal his character, his beliefs, ideals and his prayers for the future. To Franklin Delano Roosevelt the American people owe a great debt of thanks, as he gave his life in the furthering of their interests. Now Harry Truman has been called to hold the reins of a great nation, and as President of the United States he will be doing his best to lead us to victory in war and peace. To President Truman we give our prayers and our faith, so that with the help of God, we may be successful in our endeavors. —Lucille Bovee. Edens Flowers Snitched Or Just Borrowed As spring gradually comes around the corner, Edenites fancies turn to the perfume of spring flowers. The enchantment is too much for some of them because eagle-eyes have seen P. C. trip noiselessly soon after dark to room 234, trying to conceal a bouquet of mixed flowers . . . some might say they were torn from the plant. Lucille and Audreye go about it legally and s p e n d well-earned money to buy posies every weekend. Lucille said she had to have something to cheer her up. Then others get theirs accidently, like Louise Mosher, who caught a bride's bouquet of beautiful roses. (Or was it accidental?) Now some of us are poor and honest, yet we too have that longing for a little more color "in the home of color and light." We hike up on Sehome and gather lovely green branches or some pink flowers (that have a peculiar odor after a couple of days in our abode) . . . overlooking the fact that we break fingernails, scratch our legs and pick a couple of nettles by mistake. Oh Yes! M. L. Burke received a beautiful arrangement of flowers . . . legally, but where? WWC Co-eds Howl Do you live in a mental prison where the distorted influence of a fantastic delusion causes you to oe-lieve that you are a lady or a gentleman? Such unhappy self-hypnosis may be neutralized by another mental disease called "Wolfobia", similar in nature to lycantropy or . . . the transformation of people into wolves. Traditionally it was the Norsemen of WWC who did the whistling on the campus, but in these days of war shortages it is up to the co-eds to replace the wolf men. According to unconfirmed rumors the ladies are doing a graceful job of replacing t h o s e mythological characters known as men. Sufferers from said malady experience a form of hysteria, a pathological condition manifesting depravity. If you haven't tried playing the role of a wolf, you should do so, for it is said to be fun . . . and you might be a howling success. labored a moment, then replied: "Without ginger ale." —Los Angeles Collegian. • RECREATION: Every afternoon from three to five p. m., the students and teachers of the University will mingle in the coffee shop for fun, coffee and discussion.

And with that he blew some more dirt in their eyes . . . just as I shall next week. mesltel's Keoiews Great Son by Edna Ferber, is a chronological story of $pur generations of a family, beginning in 1851 when the first settlers came to Alki Beach, Seattle, and ending in the present war. Emerson said, "Every mari is entitled to be yalued by his best moment." This is not one of Edna Ferber's best novels but it is particularly interesting as an illustration of local color in the Northwest. It presents the Northwest as a rough, rugged, vigorous place and paints a good picture of the vastness of the mountains and land. There is very little action in the novel but the characterizations are very good. In Madame Exact Me-lendy, one of the first settlers, and in her son, Vaughn, an Alaskan gold-miner and a lumber-salmon king, Edna Ferber portrays the same rugged strength. It is Mike, the progressive air-minded representative of the fourth and present generation, who goes to war soon after the fateful Pearl Harbor. All in all it is very good reading for local color against a background of historical facts on the Pacific Northwest.

They counter-balance the sterile, musty teachings of the classroom. The addition of activities outside the classroom adds a fullness to education and gives a broadening effect. Equestrian- minded coeds substantiate this point of view as they enthusiastically participate in the most broadening activity at WWC, horseback riding. • Phil Sorboe is to return to the physical education department at Ellens-burg. Sorboe has resigned as head football and baseball coach at Lincoln High School of Tacoma and will resume his chores at Ellensburg after the present school term. He was at' CWC four years, coaching the football team to the Winco title in 1942. Is he, perchance, contemplating recruiting enough muscle-males to field a football team this fall? • LETS GO TO THE SWIM MEET The events have been planned, the swimmers have been primed, and the pool has been made ready . . . the rest is up to you. Let's turn out in support of the guys and gals that have put out with so much effort to plan and put on the aquatic exhibition. There will be entertainment plus as ow collegian cohorts vie against one another for swimming honors, and less serious-minded swimmers put on a farcical relay. Come one, come all! • In abject humbleness, have the kind words of encouragement from the five-star generals of the Collegian been received. It is only fitting that we quote a long deceased sage, who said, "Flattery will get you nowhere!" • Joe Martinolich, the hustling manager of the Bellingham Bells, was full of praise, in a recent interview, for the showing made by JACK GRAHAM and JIM GILDAY in practice sessions. "I need say nothing about Gilday" said Martinolich. "He has been a standby of the Bells for years. He plays a steady game in the infield and is always dangerous at the plate. I know less about Graham, but am learning much. He can really hit that ball and should capably fill an outfield spot." About Graham's pitching aspirations, Martinolich just smiled and refused to comment. "The Bells," said Joe enthusiastically, "should really go to town this year. Bill Fleming, ex-Chinook and Chicago Cubs pitcher, may be able to pitch every other Sunday. It is really a treat to watch Bill work." The former stronger-sex and their lack of cooperation in student activities has been the subject of criticism from the former weaker-sex. The feminine set, however, do not always enter wholeheartedly into all extracurricular affairs. Take a look at the roster sheets for intramural sports posted on the WRA bulletin board. To this date (April 17) eleven girls have signed up for softball, eight for tennis, and nine for badminton. Not a very good showing, girls, for an enrollment of two hundred females. • MAJORS OPENING CALLED OFF Monday's opening game of the major league between the Washington Senators and the New York Yankees was called off because of inclement weather. The game was to be dedicated to the memory of the late President Roosevelt, and was reluctantly postponed. Even with player quality at its lowest ebb, the popularity of America's national sport, baseball, is expected to be as great this year as it has always been. The going, from start to finish, will be mighty rocky for many teams this year, but nothing short of a national emergency will prevent baseball from continuing. • ' The St. Louis teams, the World Champion Cardinals and the pennant winning Browns, are favored to again cop the National and American league titles, respectively. There are no outstanding teams in the National league besides the Cards, but the Chicago Cubs or Pittsburg Pirates should be right-up-in-there. The Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees are expected to give the Browns the most trouble in the American. ' • HORSES MAY RUN If the federal ban on horse racing is lifted this summer, Seattle's Long-acres track will be ready. The Washington State Horse Racing Commission has given the go-ahead signal . . . IP! Commission Chairman Prank Brewster states that "the chances of racing returning soon are most promising." Save your nickles and dimes because there is no thrill like having a longshot come in to pay $60 on a $2 ticket. The ban on horse racing has been a boon to pinball machine owners. Followers of the races are spending the money they formerly lost on the races on pinball machines. The illuminated words, WIN, PLACE, SHOW AND PURSE, gives them a feeling of nostalgia. The racing steel balls in the machines, however, are a poor substitute for pounding hoofs. • Spring fever hit the campus last Monday afternoon as the sun beamed down upon our activities. The fever especially hit Pavlicek and Riddle who participated in a bit of high jumping. Pavlicek cleared the bar at five feet; Riddle also ran. Another sunny day will probably find Pavy out trying for the %f ive-foot-seven mark. Swimmers Tryoufc In Meet Today Amid Splashes And Plunges Today is the day for the annual swim meet, and this afternoon at 4 p. m. the swimmers will plunge into the tank and the races will be on. The credit for arrangements of the meet go to the general Swim Meet Committee consisting of Lloyd Jones, men's entries; Eleanor Anderson, women's entries; Pay Lind-berg, competition and form swimming; Betty Slater, comic races and diving; Dale Burklund, officials; Roy Wark, seating; Tom Riddle, assisting with judging; Dick Fackler, public address, system; Sam Carver, timer; and Mrs. Christenson, starter. A good student turnout at the meet is anticipated. The faculty will be seated in the balcony with the students seated around the pool. The male splashers will compete in the 50 yd. free style, 50 yd. back stroke, and the 100 yd. free style relay. The 50 yd. free style has the most swimmers and promises to be the most exciting contest of the meet. The swimmers in the 100 yd. mixed relay haven't been named but mixed relays always produce an interesting race. The women of the campus will try their swimming abilities in the 25 yd. back stroke, 25 yd. free style, and form swimming. The comic relay has a likely looking roster of splashers, and should provide plenty of laughs for the meet. Thirty WRA Girls Participate In Evening Of Basketball, Swimming and 'Eats' Thursday night in the WWCE gym, about thirty girls, among them many of this quarter's freshmen, participated in an evening of games and swimming. The event was the WRA sports party. An exciting basketball game started the evening off with a bang. Heading two teams were those two "terrific kids", Bev Morgan and Barb Caldwell. Jetti Mc- Lane, Janet Brunswig, Ruth Ericson. Helen Kaiser, Janice Jacoby and Zelma Blekkink fought it out with Ruth Williams, Alice Jackson,. Rebecca Terry, Marie Eines, Kathleen Mock, and Joan Haggard on Barb's team. It was a close struggle and the points mounted up equally on each team. One of the most astonishing events of the game was a b a s k e t made by Bev. Morgan. Standing in the center of the floor, she attempted a basket. So small was her chance of hitting the basket that everyone just stood and watched her. It went in! In spite of this, the final score was 8-9 in favor of Barb's team. While the basketball game was being played, in the other half of the gym, badminton was going full swing. About 8:30, perspiring, tired, but happy the girls all went swimming in the pool., Gloria Mathesius and a few others gave a good exhibition of swimming and diving but the majority just took a plunge and got wet. Refreshments of cake and soda pop made a perfect end to the party. In charge of refreshments was Don-alda Johnson. Tennis Tournament Hospice Inn has come up with another of its sports activities. This active men's house on the campus is in many ways taking up the slack in spring sports. The Hospice Inn Tennis Tournament will start next week and is expected to last for nearly two weeks. The tourney favorites are George Jurgens and Dale Burklund. Some of the Hospice boys drew byes for their first round games but the second round matches should be hard fought for all contestants. The tourney games are scheduled for late afternoon and "early evening. Flags At Half-Mast "BUTCH- FALLER ALIVE The nation's flags will be flown at half mast for thirty days, dating from the death of President Roosevelt. On all public buildings, everywhere American troops can be found, and on many other buildings all over the United States, our flag will not be raised until May 12. Lieutenant William (Butch) Faller, reported missing in action over Frankfurt, Germany, has turned up alive and well. Butch's mother received a cablegram telling of the good news. Faller is a former Western Washington College athlete. Burklund Swims; Gals Ballet; Studes Attend Meet 20 yards . . . 40 yards . . . 50 yards on and on he went . . . swimming for all he was worth. "Who?" you ask, "Well, it's none other than one of our WWC swimming stars, Dale Burklund. Yes, Dale and a large number of other students of WWC will be clashing their swimming abilities in the annual swim meet scheduled for Friday. Various contests are planned by the stars to give all of us an enjoyable water show. With the imaginary strains of "Springtime" playing on our mind we shall watch an array of beautiful girls presenting an "eye-opening" water ballet. Jack-knives, (even though you can't find any on sale anymore) are going to be a main feature of the event. Come, all you kids, and share in the merrymaking, cuz whether you're in the pool or in the audience, we're sure you'll enjoy yourselves. Jim Sanford Visits WWC Campus Jim Sanford, AMMF 2/c, quarterback on the Viking football squad in 1941, paid a visit to his old haunts at WWC last Monday. Jim was a Daniels Hall boy back in '41. Right now, he is a flight engineer in the Naval Transport Service. He goes on flights to all the islands in the Pacific battle area; hardly an island can you name in the Pacific that Jim hasn't visited. His home is now in Alameda, California. Jim is married,to a former WWC coed, Ruth Funk, '40-'41. more norse notes _ (Continued from Page One) back in the evening for dancing in the student lounge. Transportation had it's difficulties but all available cars were overloaded, some took the bus, others went via bicycle and the still more ambitious walked. Before the outing, however, the student body gathered in the auditorium for skits presented by the different clubs and organized houses. Valkyrie walked, off with the prize and the students walked off for a good time. This year the co-chairmen, Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones, with the aid of then committees, are planning a day that will measure up to former successes. The details may be different; there may be fewer beards, although Stuart Cur-rie is .backing that tradition; the Lakewood property cannot be invaded, but we can still have the same spirit that has prevailed in years past. When May 9 rolls around we will all be out there for a skyrocketing Campus Day, complete with pie and anything else that the chairmen manage to think up between now and then.

He enlisted in the reserve and was called to active duty March 16. Prior to that time he attended Western Washington College, and also Montana State College where he took the army specialized training. • JONES Mrs. Lovegren, of the Extension Department, received a letter from Monty B. Jones, in France. He told of his visit to Sorbonne University in Paris to a French class. Every student in that particular class was a refugee and a school teacher. They were from Spain, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Russia and Poland. They were discussing dialects. The teacher wrote a Spanish sentence on the board, and each of the five Spanish students read the sentence with a different accent. "He then read it in English and asked me to read it. I did so and they all laughed because of the different accent." After the class, all of the students •that Jones were introduced to spoke English. DOMBROSKI In a letter recently recevied from Lt. (jg) R. L. Dombroski, who attended Western Washington College, he relates some of his experiences in the Pacific: "The other day we visited a far out-of-the-way island and the na- , tives came out to us in droves, and paddled around the ship in their outrigger canoes, wishing to trade some of • their wares for some of ours. They were quite reasonable and I managed to pick up a few things in trade for some of my old pipes, tobacco, and skivvy shirts. I picked up a beautiful model outrigger canoe and handsome with its hand carvings, for only some tobacco. The natives seem to go for tobacco in any form and will try to out do each other for the bronchial debauching, habit - forming stuff. The natives could not speak English, although they did know the w o r d s cigarettes, tobacco, and money. We had to use gestures to try to convey our thoughts to each other the best we knew how. I did find out that Lap-Lap meant blanket, Kai-Kai, food and Glub-Blub, clothing." NATIVES "One canoe came alongside and in it were an old man and his son. The boy was about five or six years old and very cute. The only form of clothing he had on was an old Marine undershirt which hung down to his ankles. I tried to talk with these two in the well known 'Pidgin English' but they could not understand me. In this section of the Pacific the Oceania language mentioned above is not used and must be only known around the Solomons and surrounding islands." A BARGAIN "The old man would not trade anything without the consent* of the little tyke. After some shrewd bargaining, I gave the old man two nice big apples and he just looked at them and put them in the bottom of the canoe. After a while his curiosity got the better of him and he picked them up and gave one to the little boy. He told him to eat the fruit first . . . and I guess they had never seen an apple before so he began to peel it just as you and I would an orange . . . With the help of gestures, I made him understand that he could bite through the skin. The boy finally did this and then his brown eyes became very big and a grin spread over his face and said 'Goot!' The old man took this as a signal and then began to eat his apple with gusto." • BRODAHL Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Brodahl of Route 2, Ferndale, have received word that their son, Corporal Herbert C. Brodahl, was wounded in action on the Western Front on March 14. He lost his right foot and both legs were fractured when he stepped on a German "shoe" mine. Brodahl attended Western Washington College before entering the California College of Arts and Crafts, from which he was graduated in 1942. He joined the army in October of 1942 and was trained with an engineer unit. His sister, Kathleen, now attends this institution. 119 W.

For you girls who are of that opinion, here is a great chance for you to get in and do YOUR part and a little more besides. We are all aware of the present shortage of nurses and of how the American Red Cross is helping to erase this problem by training girls and women to serve as nurse's aides. Right here in Bellingham, classes under the sponsorship of the Red Cross turn out a batch of trained nurse's aides every few months. As a result of negotiations between the American Red Cross and WWC officials, it has been decided that any WWC student who enrolls in these classes, completes, the course, and donates 150 hours to a hospital will be allowed 5 credits. This course consists of 35 hours of instruction by a registered nurse and 45 hours of actual hospital practice. When the training is completed a nurse's aide is expected to give 150 hours of her time to a hospital. i * The fees will consist of sixty cents for the manual, and about three dollars for each uniform. The applicant must have a physical examination by a licensed doctor of medicine before doing any hospital duty. The college health examination will not be. accepted. Any girl who is interested may sign in the Registrar's office and class hours will be arranged.

At the present time the United States is busy winning a war, and at the same time many individuals are preparing for a winning peace. One of the main attributes of this winning peace is to make it a LASTING ONE. And one set-up that absolutely is not conducive to lasting peace is compulsory military training in the post-war era. This is the main reason that I am against such training but there are a few other points that enter into the discussion, too. First of all is the fact that 4,000,- 000 men have been rejected as physically and mentally unfit so far in the national selection of war man power. Forty-three percent of these men were rejected because of maladies which trace back to poor nutrition. Thus I advocate the following substitute: 1. A universal health program which will involve medical care for those who are in need of it. 2. An efficient physical education course in high schools and colleges. 3. A fairly strong standing army. This volunteer army would suffice because the social prestege of these army men would be higher. Many people are of the opinion that if we do undergo another war it will not be fought with physical power, but the more important phase, however, is that if we build for peace we will in all probability achieve it. I believe in Compulsory Military Training only if it proves necessary for the preservation of world peace. There are many advantages to be gained by a year of military train, ing Such training might go far to solve the problem of juvenile delinquency. Orientation, discipline, and health are three factors to be had if the program of training is so planned. Another possible advantage is that the young men will learn a trade, or at least get an idea of what they are fitted out to do and what they ^ike. This is a problem that requires thought but I think action should be delayed until the end of the war; until we' see what kind of a peace the end will bring.

Haggard, former president of WWC, handed his resignation to t^ie bored on Monday of this week. Dr. Haggard, who has served here in that capacity for many years, is leaving next week to enter the "Come Join Us" Home for "advanced" mentally deficients. The home, situated in New York City, is for mental deficients who could pass an I.Q. test with a grade of 140 or above before their lapse. Dr. Haggard reported that he is quite broken up at leaving Belling-ham, but his face became wreathed in smiles as he anticipated the delights of studying crocheting and handwork. "Also," he said, "it will be more satisfactory for me to associate with this higher, more intelligent type of moron." When asked for a farewell message to the student body, Dr. Haggard merely grinned, and said, "Erumerumerum.', Without An Excuse As the WWColiegiari (alias, The Excuse) went to press this morning, the editor and business manager were caught eloping with the printers while several other prominent staff members- were last seen hiding under the seats in the bus heading for Vancouver.

The Red Cross drive, under the supervision of Mrs. Christensen, has collected a grand total of $42,360, which includes contributions from the faculty, staff, and the students. Terminal examinations will be given April 6 to diploma students who are ready for thier student teaching, or who have completed 65 credit hours. The names of the students required to take these tests will be posted on • the main bulletin board. Any other students who wish to take these tests may do so by contacting the registrars office by April 4. The examinations will consist of two tests, one for science and one on general culture. Faculty Declares School Too Dead; Suggests Riotous Saturday Night Lounge Brawls "This is a typical scene, which in the future will be held in the student lounge every Saturday night," insisted Nora B. at the last faculty meeting. In the meantime she has battled with Sammie to receive school funds for the weekly beverages which will consist of FOUR ROSES, WHITE HORSE; SEAGRAM'S 7, MUSCATEL, and BEER on TAP. Smuggling in of soft drinks will not be permitted. Summer Bulletin Invites Teachers The Summer Bulletin is being sent this week to the Elementary Grade Schools of this section of the state. The object is to encourage enrollment of teachers who are again teaching after a long period out of the class room; For their benefit, a quarter of good work and play is planned. For work, one of the offerings is a series of stimulating and timely . lecture and discussion meetings, featuring Dr. W. D. Armentrout, vice-president of the Colorado State College of Education at Greeley, and formerly curriculum specialist for tjie Denver schools. The theme is "Sound Educational Concepts in War and Peace." Also featured are a speech clinic, short refresher courses, artists and nationally known speakers in the weekly assemblies. For play, boat trips to the San Juans, industrial trips, organized hikes, and the modern- college pool are emphasized. Have you written that friendly letter to a boy or girl in the service today! , Some Come— Others Gone Dr. Elias A. Bond of the Mathematics department, and Miss Charlotte B. Richardson. of the Industrial Arts department are back at Western Washington College after a quarter's leave of absence. Dr. Bond spent a month and a half in Bremerton with his son, who was stationed there. He also spenjt five weeks with his daughter in' Chicago. She is a lieutenant in the WAVES* Miss Richardson journeyed back to Nantucket Island in Massachusetts, which is about six hours from Boston. Dr. Moyle F. Cederstrom of the English department and Charles M. Rice of the Iridustrial Arts department are on leave this quarter. ON THE TELEPHONE $P6U«ARB0M gt;$ Stude Teachers Say School Teaching Stinky, Stuffy Job Startling news has been revealed to the students and facuty of WWC Of those co-eds receiving their B.A. degrees, or going out to teach on a war emergency certificate, only one plans to go through with her plans as scheduled. Couldn't Take It Glennis Sundberg, one teacher candidate, ran off with the Fuller brush man last week, and Marge Sinnett, another senior,, plans to enter the service of her country as an Air WAC irjkmediately after receiving her degree. Mary Louise Burke, Eleanor Anderson, Cheryl Smith, and Ama Andersen have all joined a new women's torpedo unit. This is a volunteer division, probably suicidal, and these noble girls should be lauded for their valor. Publicity Hounds Crystal Ackerman, Virgil Sorgen-frei, Betty Dodge, and Margie Jones are sailing on the next ship for Australia. Theirs is a new twist in the Australian brides for American serviceman idea! They're going to marry the Australian boys. • Florence Peterson has accepted a position as head of a new magazine, "Zip," and Midge Spromberg, Ruby Stroebel, and Marie Eines are under contract as chorus girls in the world-famous Stork Club. One Traitor Only one teacher candidate, Miss Patricia Royse, has remained true to her original intention of teaching this next year. Said Miss Royse in an interview: "I feel that I can best do my part in the war effort by remaining true to my profession, and teaching all the little kiddies of the state those things they must know in order to become successful citizens." Sea Bees Accept Sweet Lorraine By DON'T GET STUNK Miss Lorraine Powers, Dean of Women, announced late last night that she has enlisted in the Sea Bees. Her explanation of this action was stated as follows: "I have long desired to do something con- ' structive and this is my great opportunity." Lorraine believes she will be sent to the Aleutians as • a member of a road crew. She will supervise about 100 workmen. It has been rumored by reliable sources that one reason for her giving up her position here is that her sweetie has been released from ^ i n g Sing (No. 2961) and has now joined the rest of the Sea Biscuits. Lorraine has not yet completed her., plans, but when her - orders come through next week she will make final arrangements for departure. ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 March 30 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washmgrpn (_oi' i lt;ra'- -einngnam, Washington Friday, March 30, 1945 The Excuse Published when the staff sobers up Except during prohibition (at which time they are engaged in bootlegging) by the fools who stagger in whenever they get up, Western Whitewashing College of Intoxication, Helling-Bam, Washington.

Tuesday's rumor of the war in Germany being over is*a national example of this fact. When the announcement came to some of us in our Contemporary Poetry class the reaction among that small group was much different from that experienced at the supposed Armistice of the last war. Instead of shouting and wishing to celebrate, we all sat quite still while tears came to our eyes. Even though we heard a few minutes later that our hopes' had sprung from a misinterpreted remark we were left with a feeling of hope: I wonder just how the American people will take the news of the Armistice when it actually becomes a reality. It seems to me that everyone has been under too great a strain to greet the surrender of Germany with wild celebration, such as characterized the last Armistice. Rather, we should realize that there is still a terrific battle to be won in the Pacific and that it will take the combined efforts of everyone to bring the conclusion of the conflict in the near future. Maybe it would be well for us all to think a little what the Armistice will mean to us individually, and look ahead now to our future. OH WELL, WHAT THE HECK! Because of the war, censorship, Ma Burnet, and anyone else we can find to blame it on, the April Fool edition isn't what it used to be, and besides, gasoline and tires are really gettinq difficult to find, let alone the shoe shortage. Therefore, and for various other reasons, we are leaving your weakly today for you to decioher. There are the true and the imaginative and still others ground up in this Work of Art so we leave anything printed on these sheets to your native intelligence and you can pick out for yourself what you want to believe. In case anything should happen to the Collegian staff in the next few days there are many good positions open to anyone who is fool enough to take them. We ought to know. HAGGARD RESIGNATION We would like to say a few words in this column about Dr. W. W. Haggard's resignation as college prexy. I am sure that Wow! The line of nejv suckers leading to the registrar's office has really put its feet in the inkwell of WWC. During the past week many new students, including a cadet nurse's class plus several older students of. a few years back. have decided to help the rest of the fools of the college pull on the 'ole chain of paradise—studies! Prom the four corners of the globe the trails have been leading to WWC this quarter. Passing through the hall we noticed that one lonely eskimo brought his igloo and placed it in front of the main doorway. When we asked him how he was working his way through' college he said, "I'm selling blubber sticks in five juicy fats." Alas, Cupie Clement has become his bosom pal. Marjorie Kingsley, who sits behind the first desk in the registrar's dungeon, has been taking five minutes out of each hour to remove the ball and chain from her tender ankle and to take flash pictures of the crowd on her desk. Life on the campus is really off to a fresh start this quarter, so new students, we want to welcome you by throwing fresh eggs at your wondering faces. Things I Think?

We know, however, that.he will be a great solace to those with whom he will come in contact at his new post. In sayinq goodbye to Dr. Hapqard, we wish to thank him for all he has done , for WWC and extend our best wishes that his future may be as pleasant as possible jn his condition. APRIL FOLLY ON THE TROLLY Dropped my token in the slot As I climbed, aboard the trolley Squeezed in light—-for the trolley flight Then I breathed and sighed, "Oh, golly." My straw hat hung rigid o'er my ear A woman chewed upon my tie While I unraveled gum from my hair, My elbow soaked up cherry pie. . ''Whose umbrella is hanging on my rib, ' • And where did I get this paper? Will that boy stop pulling on my leg, And Mr.—you're breathing water Vapor." The conductor screamed, "32nd Street." Yep, that's my slop all right So I squeezed and. shoved and pushed and hollered "Let me out—/ haven't got' all nighl." Then I flattened my face to the sidewalk As I fell from the human folly "Imagine—only a dime for a squashed-up lime If you like the life on the trolley." Today is the deadline for Klip-sun copy to be ready for the printers. The yearbook is no longer just an idea, but is fast becoming a book full of pictures and memories. Picture engraving is nearing' completion and the covers are already finished, according *.to the editor, Gerry Ludens. Not only pictures, but the copy 'and general theme are informal and natural.

DARI GOLD Whatcom County Dairyman's Assn, Phone 314 . ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 March 30 - Page 3 ---------- The Warmer Bench by andy . . . Things are tough all over these days—with the war and Eleanor and • stuff—so I guess you'll just' have to put up with a girl's idea of a sports column along with the gasoline and shoe shortage. Clarie Marshall, who put out this column last quarter, has left school to go into spring training with Kansas .City, and not knowing what this quarter would bring around in t he way of boys, the editor cast her eagle eye on me—so—suffer with me, fellows, and hope that this will be my one and only entrance into the circle of would-be sports writers. Intramural activities haven't got rolling yet, so this column -will try to give a brief summary of nation-wide sporting events. Back at Kansas City the Western Division entry, the University of Oregon, squeezed into 'a tight third place by defeating Utah 69-66. The night before the Ducks held the favored University of Arkansas until the last three minutes of play, when Arkansas came through to win 79-76. J Oklahoma A M defeated Arkansas and met New York Umversity Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden in the national Collegiate playoffs. Oklahoma A M defeated N.Y.U. in the national collegiate play-offs and met De Paul of Chicago, winners of the invitational tourney which was held in the Garden last week, but at the time that this column went to the print shop, the final results were not available. Winner of the DePauI-Oklahoma game will be the mythical national collegiate basketball champion. Although the .Fort Lewis Warriors didn't make the finals at the AAU tourney in Denver, their Gail Bishop as usual was a stand-out. Incidentally, he is one of the high score men of the nation. In the same tourney, Phillips 66 of Bartlesville, Okla., won its third consecutive national AAU title-by slipping past Denver Ambrose in the final moments of play to win 46-47. Pacific Coast baseball opens next Saturday with Seattle meeting the Padres in San Diego-^-Portland also plays Oakland the opening day. A Gottum Gass, Gives Pete Gray, one-armed infielder for the St. Louis Browns, started in a win oVer the Toledo Mudhens in a practice game Saturday. This is Gray's season with the Big Leagues—he came up from Memphis, where he played in the Southern Association. Before a capacity crowd in the University of Washington Pavilion the favored Seattle Lincoln five defeated the Bellingham Raiders to win first in the State High School tourney. Lincoln won by a score of 50 to 38. Everett beat the hard fighting Snohomish Panthers, 28 to 21, to slide into the third spot. This gave Snohomish sixth place in the state. In closing, I just thought that some of you might be interested in knowing that Fritz Crisler, .University of Michigan's head football coach, is down in Central America, helping out with the Good Neighbor Policy. Big Swim Meet Scheduled Here Final plans have now been completed and preparations for the annual swimming meet are going on. This year a bigger and better affair has been planned. Invitations have been sent out to all the leading colleges and universities in the West. Those accepting the challenge of WWC are: University of Washington, Washington State, University of Oregon, University of California, Los Angeles, and Stanford. WWC has many outstanding swimming stars this year and we are very confident with such people as Leona Sundquist, Anna Ullin, and Hazel J. Plympton on the women's relay team. Edward Arntzen, FJias A. Bond, and Arthur C. Hicks will represent WWC on the men's relay team. For the 100 meter Australian crawl we show our superiority with such people as Lynus Kibbe, Nils Bosen, Herbert Hersey, and Henry Hurd for the men; Nora B. Cummins, Lucy Kangley, May Meade, and Ruth Piatt for the women. The big event scheduled is the exhibition diving with such dives as the half-twist, the jack-knife, the black-jack and several others. Can't lt;io anything without a tray— The date set for this important event is May 18, 1945, at 4 a. m., out at the Rocks. Featured are those two great stars, Gertrude Longley, and Hazel Break-sy.

And her tears flowed like wine! When Miss Clow boarded her plane for Reno on Tuesday we caught one last glimpse of her sleek shadow. She was dressed exquisitely in ravishing black cheesecloth accented with a wee tiny red hat perched on her gooey pompadour. As the plane took off from the field, the crowd cheered her on and we all knew that she would soon return with "goodness knows what," but the heart of one lonely little lad, Donjnie Eldridge, was very empty for he knew that there was no other teacher who would "cut a rug" for him.

Bushell, the WW symphony orchestra will .present what may be their last concert of the season in the college auditorium, Sunday, January 25, from 3:30 to 5 p. m. The program played by the 48-piece orchestra will consist of the following selection: "Magic Flute Overture" (Mozart), "Andante Con Moto from Symphony No. 8" (Schubert), "A Somerset Rhapsody" (Hoist) \ and "From the Western World" (Dvor-ak- Kopp). The last work will be particularly interesting, says Mr. Bushell. It v/as originally a sonata for violin and orchestra by Dvorak, and was rearranged by Kopp in Dvorak's orchestral style as a symphony. It resembles greatly both Dvorak's fourth and fifth symphonies. Bushell also comments on the Hoist work, saying that it is an English^ folk-tune rearranged in a somewhat modern harmonic style. In regard to the statement that this may be the last concert of the season, Mr. Bushell says that due to the shortage of tires, many of the. out-of-town members may not be able to play with the orchestra as usual, therefore concerts may have to be discontinued.

For quite a while now—a couple of years, anyhow—the high-flying Lutes from Tacoma have just about dominated the WINCO sports picture. Now that their weakness seems to have been found, the battle for supremacy in the rest of the league should be a royal one—with Cheney generally considered the team to beat in basketball. Last week-end's double defeat the Vikings handed PLC was plenty decisive— good solid basketball—but it was far from impressive... Lappy's boys really put the lid on the Lutes defensively, and that's about the whole story. Maybe it was just one of those "off days," but the Viks didn't show much but flashes in the way of offense. (Exception: Ernie Ludwick's-and "Jiggs" Harfcleroad's fancy ball handling). Could be too that they were saving their offense for this week's appearance on the Lutheran's home floor. • Intramural basketball is in full swing again. We hope all the teams will be able to finish the schedule this quarter. Last quarter there were too many forfeitures toward the end to keep up interest. Perhaps a little interest from the rest of us would perk the boys up a little. 'Tis said that once, upon a time a GIRL even went to an intramural game and cheered and cheered. We're skeptical but then lots of funy things happen. • An idea that strikes us as exceptionally good is this addition of two women's teams to the bowling league. Not only does it give the gals a chance to compete with men on an even basis ("More than even" one queen was heard to say as she watched Eddie Arntzen lob a wicked curve), but it could even lead to the eventual establishment of two leagues, playoffs, and some really good bowling. • The Honeysuckles, alias Jerry Snow Co., are newcomers this quarter to intramural basketball. In spite of this misleading name, they pack a potent punch in their line-up. A lad known as High-ball Gooding will be burning up the court for this outfit. High-ball will be a stranger to most of you youngsters, but whiskered gentry who remember the days of long-sleeved jerseys will recall him as the boy who was popping them in from all angles in the city league some time ago. Evidently not too many men know about it, but there is a special men's swimming period from 4 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. every Wednesday and Friday. We say not many know about it because so far this quarter only one man has shown up. Now this gives the lifeguard an easy (though lonesome) job, but with school finances in the shape they are, it is hardly practical to pay a lifeguard for guarding one man three hours a week. It would be easier to throw out that one man, and the lifeguard too, and abolish the period. And, according to Sam Carver, that is what will have to be done unless more swimmers show up. We've really got a swell pool over there and it would be a shame to lose the privilege of using it. So, to all you guys who didn't know about it—how about dropping over for a dip some evening? Sure, towels, suits, showers, and lifeguard are free. • Tis said that Lappy's sighs of relief are becoming louder and longer as it becomes increasingly evident that the army is passing Pettyjohn up for the time being . . . Fifty soldiers and fifty gals and no college men at Thursday evening rec hour . . . we smile bravely, and carry on . . . More and more we like that women bowling team business. There's some real form displayed down there now. Don't tell us we're being ambiguous, either . . . Another, good-looking newcomer on the basketball squad is Bud Dodd, returning after a quarter at the University. If he has speed to match his shooting eye, we'll be seeing plenty of him from now on. There's still plenty of room for more skiiers this week-end. Tickets are in the bookstore this afternoon . . . Wte'll see you on the mountain.

Gutter balls and shouts of Oh! and ah' were echoing quite frequently, because most of the girls were having their first try at the game of ten pins. The Pinncutters, led by Captain Sheilla Mueller, won 3 points from Peggy Bryan's Collegianettes. The Alleycats, Faculty, and Edwards Hall all are in a four way tie with the Pincutters by defeating respectively the Honeysuckles, Stokers, and the Hospice Inn boys. Next week the girls will get a chance to see what they really can do when they get up against the boys' teams. They will have to show what they really are made of, because everyone of the teams are out to win the second half championship. The Faculty had the honor of winning the first half without much trouble. Dr. Cederstrom was high man with a single game of 191 and a high two game series of 350 pins.

The Vikings made a big last minute spurt, after a nip and tuck battle all the way, to win' Friday night's conference opener 44 to 35. The score at halftime was deadlocked at 19 all. Until past/ midway in the second half, the score seesawed with neither team taking a big lead. Finally, with the score 32 to 30 against them, Ludwick and Lowery sank quick ones, and Pettyjohn helped from the foul line. From then on the Viks held the lead with a tight defense and some tricky ball handling, and the outcome was never in doubt. Saturday's game was the Viking's all the way. The halftime pause found the score at 15-12, and, in spite of big Marty North, PLC's center, piling up 11 points, the men of Lappenbusch forged steadily ahead and wound up with a com-fortalbe 32-24 Vin. Jiggs Harkleroad, ex-Blaine high school star, lived up to advance notices when he canned 3 out of 5 shots Saturday night to share high point honors with Nyberg and Ropes. Ernie Ludwick, and Marty North of PLC were high men for the series with 16 points apiece. Dairy Protests 'Super' Game • In a hot, close battle at the Roeder school gym last Tuesday night, the WiWC Supervarsity defeated Hillview Dairy 41-39 in the overtime period of a County-City league game. Hillview entered a protest of the game with the league secretary, objecting to the use of college varsity . player, Lyle Pettyjohn. Although Pettyjohn is not an eligible supervarsity player, he was used after arrangements had been made with the league secretary, in order to avoid defaulting the game for lack of players, according to Roy Franko. manager. Final^ decision on the matter rests with the league manager. Tonight the County-City league resumes play with a double-header.

While Coach Lappenbusch says he does not expect an easy victory—especially on the PLC floor—the Viks will be at full strength, and have shown enough fire and speed in their opening games to repeat last week's victories. The game tonight will be played in Tacoma's high school gymnasium. Tomorrow night the teams will move to Exposition hall to play the *second game of a double-hearer. The first game will see CPS tangle with Portland U at 7:30 p. m. Community League Sends Team Here • Friday, January 23, will see the invasion of a Seattle Community League team, probably Alpine Dairy, for a game with the WWC team in the college gymnasium. The Community League is the top basketball league in Seattle, and Alpine is usually the top team in the Community League. Boasting plenty of heighth and speed in then* former university players, the Alpines should make hot competition for the Vikings.

Yes or No! Do the students of Western Washington college want a KLIPSUN this year? Editor Jane Hamilton and her staff are going to give us an oppor-tunity'to express ourselves in an assembly next week. Students will be asked to vote on a proposal asking for additional funds for the 1942 yearbook. ' . There are two alternatives to voting for more fundsc first, the publication of a 75-page book—an impossibility at this late date in the year: It takes months to plan an annual and the changing of the dummy at this time would make for an incomplete and blotched picture. The Dther alternative would be the cancellation of the whole project. Already a great deal of work has been done on this pictorial and graphic account of the activities of the year. It is only right that we provide more money to carry on this activity which we will deem so valuable in years to come. Sig ns—or No Signs! The sign seekers are at it again! x Did someone say that people who attended college were grown men and women and ready to take their place in a democratic society? One would never have known it to look-^t some of the bulletin boards in the main hall last Monday. The administrative assistants of the school don't become too irate when they find that some of the "Official Bulletin" signs in the Training school have been changed .to "Official Bull," but they do become engry when college students "borrow"- club signs and posters for the purpose of interior decoration. Remember: It takes paper to print signs; it also costs money. This is a time for the conservation of both for national defense. Congratulations—CWC! Last week-end two Western Washington college students were privileged to attend' a Student' Leader's conference at Central college. The ideas exchanged, and the good will promoted among the small colleges of the state was unbounded; students of CWC should be complimented for initiating a worthwhile enterprise. New Surveys Show Complete Unification Of College Students Behind War Effort By Joe Belden, Editor Student Opinion Surveys of America AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 15—Before Pearl Harbor, many Student Opinion Surveys of American polls had indicated collegians, although sympathetic with the British and Russians, were unmoved by any call to join the embattled Europeans. Even more than the average American adult, students had failed to mobilize their spirit. But the change that has come about since the U. S.'went to war is staggering. New surveys completed since hostilities in the Pacific began, register the enormous effect the Japanese attack has had on the undergraduate mind. These results leave no doubt that college students—long criticized for their peacetime isolationist leanings—have immediately united and are ready for the personal sacrifices war will demand: 1. Most college men would have preferred to have .the draft age lowered to 18—affecting most of them personally—than have it raised to 45. Congress last month made men 20 to 44 subject to military service. 2. Nearly nine in every ten are willing to give some of their time daily on local defense committees. 3. Almost as many want men not in the armed forces drafted for non-militwyduty. 4. More'than three-fourths of the co-eds approve of drafting women for non-military tasks. - • the MEMBER Washington Intercollegiate Press Association 1941 Member 1942 Associated Gblle6iate Press ESTABLISHED 1899 Published Every Friday, Except During the Month of September by Associated Students, Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington.

I have. The trip down town might not have been so bad—we only had to walk about two miles—if our pleas for mercy from being constantly molested by dirty, slushy snowballs had been answered by anything but a paddle wielded with deadly accuracy at the point to which a paddle is usually wielded. After a truly undignified trip into the city, we found ourselves listening to an unforseen address by Doc Washburn. When he had finished, Yours Truly was forcibly requested to give a rendition of Charles Boyer in the most romantic setting of the street corner in front of the Bellingham National Bank. This was nothing. The shivering victim, in this case myself, was then blindfolded, spun into dizzy-ness, handled like a sack of potatoes,— and wished he was—and placed upon his back. If the raw oyster had not been tied to a string, he might have been able to swallow it. The members of the torture chamber upon seeing his difficulty, tried to wash it down with what was surely a combination of red pepper, printer's ink, formaldyhide, and* hydro-chloric acid. This was followed by a, tasty chew of garlic and an egg shampoo. With his burning eyes again un-blindfolded, his dignity shattered, and his appetite ruined for three weeks, the victim feels himself so completely initiated into the world of journalism that he will never be able to break the bonds.

Elementary IA Adds Ceramic Equipment •New electrically operated equipment acquired for the elementary Industrial Arts department include a potters wheel and a ball mill. According to Miss Charlotte B. Richardson, instructor in Industrial Arts for the elementary curriculum, this new machinery will be used for the teaching of work in ceramics. "The motor-run potters wheel affords a compromise between hand-done and mchine-made pottery," stated Miss Richardson. "The work is really hand done, but the mechanical turning of the wheel makes for uniformity in the piece."' Miss Richardson continued, "The ball mill is a very simple machine. It is merely a jar containing pebbles.

We wonder if our students fail to keep up with what is going on or whether, like sheep, they just stood up because somebody started it. At any rate we would like to hear our band play the new alma mater song (we know they know it) and see how many students' remember to stand, up for it. After all our campaigning for the change we hate to see the new song take a back seat to the old one. LOYAL WWCERS Dear Editor: A friend said to a young man who was worrying about the danger of being drafted: "There is really no reason for worrying, because only one of two things can happen if you are drafted: you will either be accepted or rejected. If you are rejected, there is nothing to worry about. "If you are accepted, one of two things will happen: you will either see active duty under fire of you will not. If you do not, there is nothing to worry about. "If you do, one of two things will happen: you will either be wounded or you will not. If you are not there is nothing to worry about.
