These people are not always avail-, able when a special.piece of news breaks. The Collegian, therefore, offers you a chance -to be a reporter. Turn in' any item that you think worthy of printing. Do not worry about your writing, the paper has an excellent rewrite staff in the person of Eric Phillips. He will see "that your articles measures up to Collegian standards. Several poems have been printed this summer written by one B. D. Checking our name list, we have figured this person to be Barthe DeClements. Thanks, Barthe, the Collegian has appreciated your efforts. • NEED WE KICK? Students at . Central Washington college at Ellensburg are being forced to allocate part of their student fees to a building fund—a part, did I say, well, to the tune of $1150 —half of their budget.

For example, who could suggest a better cast than such names as Victor Hoppe, Ramon George, Dr. Kuder, Dr. Hicks, Moyle Ceder-strom and for leading lady, Virginia Hawke. • . One of the most difficult items in staging "Outward Bound" was the: lack of stage crew. A class . in this type of work is" lacking in this institution. Paging Mr. Ruck-mick— Here would be a chance for a group to get actual experience, one of the prime essentials .of progressive education, as we understand it.

XL—NO. 41 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, August 8,- 1941 Likes Alaska Felix Montes Felix Montes, business manager of the Collegian during the past year and now stationed at Yaku-tat Landing field, Alaska, recently sent a fervent plea to the Collegian office for more letters from old friends at home; if he had any, he modestly added. Montes tells of Yakutat as a fat man's paradise where they eat twelve meals a day. The struggle that goes on in the mess-hall every meal strongly resembles a. wildcat on a tin. roof in. a cyclone tryr. ing to cover up his tracks with feathers. The rain is even worse than in California. The sun has only been reported as shining twice a month. All travel is done by boats and they sleep on rafts instead of bunks. Montes reports that when his feathers grow out, he will be able to swim around like a duck.

Munkres, now a forest protective service' guard, found a piece of wrapping paper on his way en route to the Canyon creek base after his first day on the search. He was attempting to rejoin three other searchers in his party at dusk last Saturday, the time of" his discovery. The wrapping paper, torn from a quantity of meat the boy had. been carrying, led to a box of matches farther down the steep, rocky inciine, then to the packsack and broken pack-board. Munkres spied the boy's body under a salmonberry bush into which he had rolled. Hank Reasoner, another Western Washington student, supervised the removal of the body Sunday. Twin Lakes Hike Beckons Student Lovers Of Beautiful Scenery Above is Red Mountain which will be clearly visible to those making the Twin Lakes trip. Off on the last hike of the term, Western college hikers will leave the =ampus early tomorrow morning to go into the Twin Lakes region of the Mount Baker National forest. Originally planned for a one-day trip, a majority of the trekkers are pfanning to remain overnight at the lakes. After a short two-mile hike to the lakes, students will have an opportunity to climb to Winchester Lookout (higher than Church.mountain) where Hank Reasoner; WWC student, is stationed as a fire warden, fish or swim in the lakes or take a pan tor a little gold sluicing. Dean McGee says that the fishing has been reported as "very good" while Dot Isaacs, veteran northwest hiker remarked, "The country seems more beautiful each time I,go." Tomorrow morning at 7:00 a. m. another boat trip will be made through the San Juan islands on the mail boat "Osage." The packet leaves from the Quackenbush dock. The recreation schedule for next week includes another industrial tour, tins time to the Bellingham coal mine on Tuesday, August 12, in the. afternoon.

Coleman WWC Library Job Resigning to accept a position as head librarian at George Washington college, Chestertown, Maryland, Henry E. Coleman, reference librarian, finished his work at Western Washington college this last spring quarter. "Coleman's resignation," said. President W. W. Haggard, "came to us last week from Kentucky, where he is vacationing." He is scheduled to take up his new work this fall. Coleman came' to WWC two years ago to succeed Charles Butler who, too, holds a position in the south. Previous to coming to Bellingham, Coleman had attended the University of Michigan where he had received the degree of mas-. ter of arts in library science in 1939. He also had attended Centre college, University of Carolina, and the University of nhnois/;||y, A successor to Coleman h r z^ yet been named. . ?t-;i gt; ; , Concert Pidni{^^ Here Tu^h^S^M Rudolph Reuter, concert pianist, will present a piano recital in next Tuesday's assembly. .

WHAT HAS HAPPENED to Western Washington college's memorial building committee? For months that structure to the right of the science wing of the mam building has stood there without any signs of activity going on. Has the national defense program held up some of the materials necessary? Have we run out of money? What has happened?—if anything. We think it is about time that the students of this college heard a report from the committee in charge of the memorial which is to honor the death of six WWC students. The monument as it now stands is just an ugly mass of unfinished material. Let s have something done about it. BEGINNING NEXT WEDNESDAY And extending through August 20, Western Washington college's annual SUMMER SALON of PHOTOGRAPHY will be held in the Art Gallery on the third floor of the main building. At last students, faculty and friends can get a glimpse of what all the camera fiends have been doing during this quarter. At last all may be seen. Pictures taken on the many recreation trips, pictures of Canada, Mount Baker, and the islands of the Sound; candid shots of students and faculty members; indoor photographic studies and many other kinds and types of pictures may be seen at this exhibit. This salon is sponsored by H'.'C. Ruckmick's class in photography but they aren't the only ones participating. All have been invited to submit prints. REMEMBER—it begins Wednesday. —Edited by Eric Phillips. CHALLENGE TO TEACHERS By Vf. W. Haggard The case book in civic education entitled "LEARNING THE WAYS OF DEMOCRACY," mentioned in this column last week reports an interesting survey of high school students' interpretation of democracy. Two thousand and six high school students in sixty-eight different classes of grades VII through XII in forty schools were asked to write brief statements of what democracy meant to them. The replies were anonymous and the papers were collected on the spot to avoid coaching. The statements were classified as follows: 1. Definitions of democracy in terms of rights and privileges —- 63% 2. Definitions in terms of responsibilities as well as rights and privileges 27% 3. Quotations of memorized statements 3% 4. Confused thinking or erroneous ideas 2% 5. Statements too vague for classification 3% 6. No answer - -••• 2% The above findings are challenging to teachers. If democracy means responsibilities as well as rights, it is evident that in many high schools the full meaning of it has not been taught. It is hoped that the high schools are improving their teaching of the meaning of democracy, Perhaps the elementary schools and colleges can improve their training in citizenship too. ^VALON WEDNESDAY to FRIDAY August 8—Friday "High Sierra" IDA LUPINO and HUMPHREY BOGART "Little Bit of Heaven" GLORIA JEAN and ROBERT STACK Friday and Saturday / /Bn a- dJ iM A an-'ii WALLACE BERRY and LARAINE DAY "The Great Lie" BETTE DAVIS and GEORGE BRENT GR ND Friday-Tuesday Student Prices / / ±-ii Out of the Fog' JOHN GARFIELD and IDA LUPINO Friday; August 1941 ABOUT THAT RIDE? m J i 'Singing Hills' GENE AUTRY and SMILEY BURNETTE WANTED—a ride to Spokane on August 22.

Ramon George, director of "Outward Bound," today possesses the painful knowledge that in order to descend steps properly one must do so—one at a time. Wondering how his cast had hobbled up and down the stairs leading from the seventh grade room to the back of the auditorium stage for two nights in a row without an accident, George decided to investigate last Tuesday just before assembly. No one had warned him of the weachery that lurked on the steep staircase.' In the seventh grade room below were props very vital to the dramatic director. It would be quicker to descend the steps to get them he thought and* he could also study the staircase at the same time. Unsuspecting the treachery of fate, he stepped on the first lift only to find it wasn't there. Nor was the second. In fact, none of them were there. He was falling through fifteen feet of space into the room below. Wayne Ensign, school. janitor, heard the crash and came to the rescue of the prostrate director. George is alive and.well today. "But I might have broken both arms and legs," he wailed, "What we need back there is an escalator." .•..'.•".;• j":' NAVIGATOR OFF PRESSES Fresh off the presses, the Navigator, official Freshman handbook, will soon* be ready for distribution. The Navigator, edited by Betty Rusher, is a compilation from the formerly used Openers, Blue Book, and Self Starter. The publication will be distributed the first weefc^ of school to all entering freshmen and transfer students. ; CLASSROOM FILMS SHOWN TO STUDENTS Films selected primarily for the visual education classes, but also shown to anyone interested are now being run in room 102 on Tuesdays •and Thursdays at 9:40 a. m. and 3:10 p. m. - During the past week two government films, "The" River".. and "The Plow That Broke the Plains" were shown; also some advertising films, "The Alaska Silver Millions,"v sponsored by the American Can company, and "From Trees to Trbunes" put out by the. Chicago - Tribune. On Wednesday a track coaching picture was shown. Next week examples of films for the primary level will be shown. These include "Bunny Rabbit," "Three Little Kittens," and "The Gray Squirrel." Some music films also will be shown such as "Brass Choir," "Symphony Orchestra," and others. During the last week of the school the films will cover elementary social studies. ;'Children of Holland," "Boat Trip," and "Colonial Children" are a few of the titles of the films to be shown. These typical classroom films are furnished by Washington State college and being shown here under the direction of W. H. Durr, who is finishing out the summer term of Lyle Brewer. £orum You know, fbiksf gum is one of the geatest thingf there is in this • world of burs. Yes sir, it is the one sure way tor tell man (woman, _ too) from the other animals. Ber sides this it can't be beat for its sticking quality. • ; . v :': Did you ever. go to a, very dull show or play, and yet have a rather enjoyable; time just'„ watching .'; your ' neighbors rand their - giim? Now, I really don;t mind people taking gum along with them for company, but it really isn't fair when they don;tr take it home with them* ..too. After all when you go some -. place ~ with' someone it hurts . your ^feelings to be forgotten and ••.left behind somewhere—So, think of the; poor gum! Did you-ever look under the as-semoly seats, or thei. desks in the different rooms? If you take time: to do this, you will find a surprising assortment there, (unless the poor janitor has taken time out to scrape it off). Of course there is one advantage of putting your gum under the seats—every one else doesn't have to look at it. Now another dumping ground around school for gum is the water foun- v tains. I could write a sob story about that, too, but I'm not going /to. But think to yourself-rdo you 'hike'to rush out of class or any- ' where else as far as that goes, and beaming with anticipation of the sparkling • cool. water around the corner and be suddenly faced with\ gum, gum, and more gum? (second- handed at that). Makes me feel queer, anyway, what .about y0U? ; ^ . XYZ. Reeve's Art Work Displayed Donovan Reeve, a student of WWC is represented in an exhibit of water colors and guache paint-lings now .being shown on the third floor of the main building. Much of the material,shown is made up of a variety of subjects from the, Northwest, especially Bellingham. As early as 1938 Reeve began searching out paintable material around Bellingham. A number of these earlier pictures are included in this exhibit and should be of interest to WWC students. Other sketching trips to the Skagit flats, the Olympic peninsula, and the Caribou country of British Columbia have added to the richness and variety of Reeve's work. - Through his friendship and sketching trips with Howard Jensen, now a commercial artist in New York City, and Lewis Daniel, a well known art teacher, lithographer and painter of New York City, Reeve gained much skill and insight into the possibilities of guache painting, a medium he is using almost exclusively at pres- '• ent.v ••....•'.- Ullin Shows Slides To Kiwanis as several of last summers most scenic trips.

WB, W:x;Xr,m ---------- WWCollegian - 1941 August 8 - Page 4 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday. August 8, 1941 SPORTS By Frank German A letter was found in our copy box last week which carries some items which we believe are worth printing. Some of the excerpts are as follows: Dear Sports Editor: ' % There are a number of athletes in attendance at school this summer who are making an effort to gain eligibility for football participation this fall. There has been much criticism leveled at such athletes who find it hard to maintain the high grade level required by this college in order to play ball. It seems that it isn't necessary to make so many cracks at the fellows who have capitalized on their athletic ability in helping themselves through college. In nearly every case they are not loafing. They have come to school to get an education. They might have been working and securing good pay but they have chosen education as their goal. This seems a worthy merit in itself. A Sports Fan You sports fans may take the letter for what's it worth. We are sure there are other opinions on the subject. Your expressions are welcome; just drop them in the Collegian office. • Is there going to be a shakeup in the coaching set-up of the Winco league? Last week we printed a story on the resignation of Red Reese of Cheney as football coach. This week the Campus Crier, official college|paper of Ellensburg, runs a story hinting at the possibility of a new football coach at that institution. However, as at Cheney, Nicholson will continue to work at the institution as athletic director and coach basketball and track. Homecoming won't seem natural without Leo Nicholson or Red Reese on the opponent's bench. But don't worry, fans, we are quite sure that Coach Charles Lappenbusch will be handling the boys in the blue and white come fall. • » Hal Jones probably served the shortest term of any Cheney head football coach. He lasted just one week. Hired last week by President Tieje of the Savage institution, Jones resigned this week to report for active duty with the army. Just who will coach the Cheney Savages was clarified last Tuesday when Jerry Stannard, former football coach at Whitworth college in Spokane, was hired for the job. Bobby Feller has passed his physical draft examination but the young Cleveland pitcher probably will not have to report for duty this summer... but what a pitcher the army will have next year. HAYDEN GIVES LECTURE ON PHILIPPINES Professor Joseph R. Hayden, chairman of the department of Political Science at the University of Michigan will speak in next Friday's assembly. The subject of his address will be "The Philippines: Still an American Problem."

Hoppe Returns From Mexico Returning from Mexico city last Friday, Victor H. Hoppe of the speech department, is now a t home at his residence on fourteenth street. Hoppe left on June 17 for Mexico. He went as far as Txco, Mexico, whch is 100 miles south of Mexico city. The trip home was made via the Carlsbad Caverns, Grand Canyon, New Mexico, and the Mojave desert. Several days were also spent in visiting San Francisco and Los Angeles. Hoppe will take up his duties in the speech department on the opening of fall quarter. The play "George Washington Slept Here," by.Kaufman and Hart, authors of "You Can't Take It With You," is' now being considered by Hoppe for production during the autumn quarter. FIRST in Values FIRST in Service FIRST in Quality Your NEEDS Are Our DEEDS The Students Co-op There's Work to be Done Between Edens hall and the main building sets this memorial to the students who were lost on Mount Baker several years ago. Work on the memorial was begun last summer. Today m its uncompleted stage, it might represent a replica of the stone age being carefully preserved by the college. . . Until proper identification and publicity is given it, the memorial is as buried as those whose memories it stands for. Let's speed along this worthy service. Softballers Play Huskies At University Again because of a last minute change of schedules, the Western College Viking softballers will play today with the University of Washington Huskies in Seattle instead of last Wednesday as was announced in last week's Collegian. The local boys will attend the Seattle- Oakland game in the evening in the Sick stadium. - McAuley will start in the pitcher's box for the Vikings while Gudyka and his nothing ball will be in reserve for the rubber game. The Huskies won the first game of the series on the local field. Those making the trip to Seattle are Hugh Hassell Walt Bryski, Lyle Pettyjohn, Jack Bromley, Oscar Johnson, Jerry Connell, Stuart Fresk, Del Boulton, Leonard Rod-land, Ken McAuley, Ernie-Dzurich, and Coach Charles Lappenbusch. KLIPSUN UNDER WAY Staff members and photographers working on the 1942 Klipsun seem to believe in the old saying about the early bird and the worm. Work on9 copy and photography for next year's book has already begun. Graduation shots and several feature pictures already are on the complete list. Jane Hamilton, 1942 editor, will travel to Seattle this week to make contact with the Western Engraving company, engravers of the Klipsun. From them she expects to get new ideas of the 1942 annual. A new feature added to the Klipsun will be a section devoted to this summer school session. Washington Defeats Norsemen In Exciting Game Featured by the pitching and hitting of Bonney, Husky pitcher, the University of Washington Huskies defeated the Western College Vikings 7-3 in a softball game played last Friday on the local field in back of the PE building. This was t he first game of a home and home series between the two institutions. Bonney held the locals to five hits and contributed a homer with two men aboard in the sixth inning. Western took an early lead in the rence, the Husky shortstop came up with everything hit near him including a couple that looked like they were tabbed for several bases. WILSON ALL PURPOSE SPORTING EQUIPMENT Morse Hdw. Co. Established 1884 second inning when Dzurich singled and then stole second. Pettyjohn, next up, got on by a fielder's choice. Both scored later following outs made by Bromley and Fresk. The Huskies came back in the third inning on a triple by Fauss and an error that allowed him to score. From then on the game settled down into a pitching duel until the sixth when Bonney won his own ball game by hitting out a long homer, scoring two men ahead of him. It was Bonney's third hit out of four times at bat for the day. The Huskies scored two more runs i n . t h e seventh. Western got its final run in the seventh when Dzurich tapped out his third hit for the day and later scored. The game was featured by excellent fielding plays on both sides. Dzurich, Hassell, and Byr-ski came up with several good catches for"1 t he locals while Cla- STANNARD REPLACES JONES AS CHENEY COACH Clarifying the coaching- situation at the Eastern Washington college was the announcement made by President Tieje last Tuesday that Jerry Stannard, former football coach at Whitworth college in Spokane, had been named assistant coach. President Tieje said Stannard would replace Hal Jones, who resigned to report for active duty with the army one week after he was named coach. Stannard once played center on the Cheney football eleven and served as assistant line coach in 1934. Later, he became head coach at Whitworth, a position he held until 1940 when he left to take graduate work at Washington State college. Stannard will act as assistant to athletic director, Red Reese, for the 1941-42 season.

Munkres, now a forest protective service' guard, found a piece of wrapping paper on his way en route to the Canyon creek base after his first day on the search. He was attempting to rejoin three other searchers in his party at dusk last Saturday, the time of" his discovery. The wrapping paper, torn from a quantity of meat the boy had. been carrying, led to a box of matches farther down the steep, rocky inciine, then to the packsack and broken pack-board. Munkres spied the boy's body under a salmonberry bush into which he had rolled. Hank Reasoner, another Western Washington student, supervised the removal of the body Sunday. Twin Lakes Hike Beckons Student Lovers Of Beautiful Scenery Above is Red Mountain which will be clearly visible to those making the Twin Lakes trip. Off on the last hike of the term, Western college hikers will leave the =ampus early tomorrow morning to go into the Twin Lakes region of the Mount Baker National forest. Originally planned for a one-day trip, a majority of the trekkers are pfanning to remain overnight at the lakes. After a short two-mile hike to the lakes, students will have an opportunity to climb to Winchester Lookout (higher than Church.mountain) where Hank Reasoner; WWC student, is stationed as a fire warden, fish or swim in the lakes or take a pan tor a little gold sluicing. Dean McGee says that the fishing has been reported as "very good" while Dot Isaacs, veteran northwest hiker remarked, "The country seems more beautiful each time I,go." Tomorrow morning at 7:00 a. m. another boat trip will be made through the San Juan islands on the mail boat "Osage." The packet leaves from the Quackenbush dock. The recreation schedule for next week includes another industrial tour, tins time to the Bellingham coal mine on Tuesday, August 12, in the. afternoon. Tuesday evening a series of slides on the summer's trips will be shown in the college auditorium at 7:30 p. m. Coleman WWC Library Job Resigning to accept a position as head librarian at George Washington college, Chestertown, Maryland, Henry E. Coleman, reference librarian, finished his work at Western Washington college this last spring quarter. "Coleman's resignation," said. President W. W. Haggard, "came to us last week from Kentucky, where he is vacationing." He is scheduled to take up his new work this fall. Coleman came' to WWC two years ago to succeed Charles Butler who, too, holds a position in the south. Previous to coming to Bellingham, Coleman had attended the University of Michigan where he had received the degree of mas-. ter of arts in library science in 1939. He also had attended Centre college, University of Carolina, and the University of nhnois/;||y, A successor to Coleman h r z^ yet been named. . ?t-;i gt; ; , Concert Pidni{^^ Here Tu^h^S^M Rudolph Reuter, concert pianist, will present a piano recital in next Tuesday's assembly. .

WHAT HAS HAPPENED to Western Washington college's memorial building committee? For months that structure to the right of the science wing of the mam building has stood there without any signs of activity going on. Has the national defense program held up some of the materials necessary? Have we run out of money? What has happened?—if anything. We think it is about time that the students of this college heard a report from the committee in charge of the memorial which is to honor the death of six WWC students. The monument as it now stands is just an ugly mass of unfinished material. Let s have something done about it. BEGINNING NEXT WEDNESDAY And extending through August 20, Western Washington college's annual SUMMER SALON of PHOTOGRAPHY will be held in the Art Gallery on the third floor of the main building. At last students, faculty and friends can get a glimpse of what all the camera fiends have been doing during this quarter. At last all may be seen. Pictures taken on the many recreation trips, pictures of Canada, Mount Baker, and the islands of the Sound; candid shots of students and faculty members; indoor photographic studies and many other kinds and types of pictures may be seen at this exhibit. This salon is sponsored by H'.'C. Ruckmick's class in photography but they aren't the only ones participating. All have been invited to submit prints. REMEMBER—it begins Wednesday. —Edited by Eric Phillips. CHALLENGE TO TEACHERS By Vf. W. Haggard The case book in civic education entitled "LEARNING THE WAYS OF DEMOCRACY," mentioned in this column last week reports an interesting survey of high school students' interpretation of democracy. Two thousand and six high school students in sixty-eight different classes of grades VII through XII in forty schools were asked to write brief statements of what democracy meant to them. The replies were anonymous and the papers were collected on the spot to avoid coaching. The statements were classified as follows: 1. Definitions of democracy in terms of rights and privileges —- 63% 2. Definitions in terms of responsibilities as well as rights and privileges 27% 3. Quotations of memorized statements 3% 4. Confused thinking or erroneous ideas 2% 5. Statements too vague for classification 3% 6. No answer - -••• 2% The above findings are challenging to teachers. If democracy means responsibilities as well as rights, it is evident that in many high schools the full meaning of it has not been taught. It is hoped that the high schools are improving their teaching of the meaning of democracy, Perhaps the elementary schools and colleges can improve their training in citizenship too. ^VALON WEDNESDAY to FRIDAY August 8—Friday "High Sierra" IDA LUPINO and HUMPHREY BOGART "Little Bit of Heaven" GLORIA JEAN and ROBERT STACK Friday and Saturday / /Bn a- dJ iM A an-'ii WALLACE BERRY and LARAINE DAY "The Great Lie" BETTE DAVIS and GEORGE BRENT GR ND Friday-Tuesday Student Prices / / ±-ii Out of the Fog' JOHN GARFIELD and IDA LUPINO Friday; August 1941 ABOUT THAT RIDE? m J i 'Singing Hills' GENE AUTRY and SMILEY BURNETTE WANTED—a ride to Spokane on August 22.

Ramon George, director of "Outward Bound," today possesses the painful knowledge that in order to descend steps properly one must do so—one at a time. Wondering how his cast had hobbled up and down the stairs leading from the seventh grade room to the back of the auditorium stage for two nights in a row without an accident, George decided to investigate last Tuesday just before assembly. No one had warned him of the weachery that lurked on the steep staircase.' In the seventh grade room below were props very vital to the dramatic director. It would be quicker to descend the steps to get them he thought and* he could also study the staircase at the same time. Unsuspecting the treachery of fate, he stepped on the first lift only to find it wasn't there. Nor was the second. In fact, none of them were there. He was falling through fifteen feet of space into the room below. Wayne Ensign, school. janitor, heard the crash and came to the rescue of the prostrate director. George is alive and.well today. "But I might have broken both arms and legs," he wailed, "What we need back there is an escalator." .•..'.•".;• j":' NAVIGATOR OFF PRESSES Fresh off the presses, the Navigator, official Freshman handbook, will soon* be ready for distribution. The Navigator, edited by Betty Rusher, is a compilation from the formerly used Openers, Blue Book, and Self Starter. The publication will be distributed the first weefc^ of school to all entering freshmen and transfer students. ; CLASSROOM FILMS SHOWN TO STUDENTS Films selected primarily for the visual education classes, but also shown to anyone interested are now being run in room 102 on Tuesdays •and Thursdays at 9:40 a. m. and 3:10 p. m. - During the past week two government films, "The" River".. and "The Plow That Broke the Plains" were shown; also some advertising films, "The Alaska Silver Millions,"v sponsored by the American Can company, and "From Trees to Trbunes" put out by the. Chicago - Tribune. On Wednesday a track coaching picture was shown. Next week examples of films for the primary level will be shown. These include "Bunny Rabbit," "Three Little Kittens," and "The Gray Squirrel." Some music films also will be shown such as "Brass Choir," "Symphony Orchestra," and others. During the last week of the school the films will cover elementary social studies. ;'Children of Holland," "Boat Trip," and "Colonial Children" are a few of the titles of the films to be shown. These typical classroom films are furnished by Washington State college and being shown here under the direction of W. H. Durr, who is finishing out the summer term of Lyle Brewer. £orum You know, fbiksf gum is one of the geatest thingf there is in this • world of burs. Yes sir, it is the one sure way tor tell man (woman, _ too) from the other animals. Ber sides this it can't be beat for its sticking quality. • ; . v :': Did you ever. go to a, very dull show or play, and yet have a rather enjoyable; time just'„ watching .'; your ' neighbors rand their - giim? Now, I really don;t mind people taking gum along with them for company, but it really isn't fair when they don;tr take it home with them* ..too. After all when you go some -. place ~ with' someone it hurts . your ^feelings to be forgotten and ••.left behind somewhere—So, think of the; poor gum! Did you-ever look under the as-semoly seats, or thei. desks in the different rooms? If you take time: to do this, you will find a surprising assortment there, (unless the poor janitor has taken time out to scrape it off). Of course there is one advantage of putting your gum under the seats—every one else doesn't have to look at it. Now another dumping ground around school for gum is the water foun- v tains. I could write a sob story about that, too, but I'm not going /to. But think to yourself-rdo you 'hike'to rush out of class or any- ' where else as far as that goes, and beaming with anticipation of the sparkling • cool. water around the corner and be suddenly faced with\ gum, gum, and more gum? (second- handed at that). Makes me feel queer, anyway, what .about y0U? ; ^ . XYZ. Reeve's Art Work Displayed Donovan Reeve, a student of WWC is represented in an exhibit of water colors and guache paint-lings now .being shown on the third floor of the main building. Much of the material,shown is made up of a variety of subjects from the, Northwest, especially Bellingham. As early as 1938 Reeve began searching out paintable material around Bellingham. A number of these earlier pictures are included in this exhibit and should be of interest to WWC students. Other sketching trips to the Skagit flats, the Olympic peninsula, and the Caribou country of British Columbia have added to the richness and variety of Reeve's work. - Through his friendship and sketching trips with Howard Jensen, now a commercial artist in New York City, and Lewis Daniel, a well known art teacher, lithographer and painter of New York City, Reeve gained much skill and insight into the possibilities of guache painting, a medium he is using almost exclusively at pres- '• ent.v ••....•'.- Ullin Shows Slides To Kiwanis as several of last summers most scenic trips.

WB, W:x;Xr,m ---------- WWCollegian - 1941 August 8 - Page 4 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday. August 8, 1941 SPORTS By Frank German A letter was found in our copy box last week which carries some items which we believe are worth printing. Some of the excerpts are as follows: Dear Sports Editor: ' % There are a number of athletes in attendance at school this summer who are making an effort to gain eligibility for football participation this fall. There has been much criticism leveled at such athletes who find it hard to maintain the high grade level required by this college in order to play ball. It seems that it isn't necessary to make so many cracks at the fellows who have capitalized on their athletic ability in helping themselves through college. In nearly every case they are not loafing. They have come to school to get an education. They might have been working and securing good pay but they have chosen education as their goal. This seems a worthy merit in itself. A Sports Fan You sports fans may take the letter for what's it worth. We are sure there are other opinions on the subject. Your expressions are welcome; just drop them in the Collegian office. • Is there going to be a shakeup in the coaching set-up of the Winco league? Last week we printed a story on the resignation of Red Reese of Cheney as football coach. This week the Campus Crier, official college|paper of Ellensburg, runs a story hinting at the possibility of a new football coach at that institution. However, as at Cheney, Nicholson will continue to work at the institution as athletic director and coach basketball and track. Homecoming won't seem natural without Leo Nicholson or Red Reese on the opponent's bench. But don't worry, fans, we are quite sure that Coach Charles Lappenbusch will be handling the boys in the blue and white come fall. • » Hal Jones probably served the shortest term of any Cheney head football coach. He lasted just one week. Hired last week by President Tieje of the Savage institution, Jones resigned this week to report for active duty with the army. Just who will coach the Cheney Savages was clarified last Tuesday when Jerry Stannard, former football coach at Whitworth college in Spokane, was hired for the job. Bobby Feller has passed his physical draft examination but the young Cleveland pitcher probably will not have to report for duty this summer... but what a pitcher the army will have next year. HAYDEN GIVES LECTURE ON PHILIPPINES Professor Joseph R. Hayden, chairman of the department of Political Science at the University of Michigan will speak in next Friday's assembly. The subject of his address will be "The Philippines: Still an American Problem." Hayden has done considerable work in the Philippines, having served as vice governor and secretary pf public instruction during a leave of absence from 1933 to 1935. He also has served as an exchange professor to the University of the Philippines. He is a member of the Phi Beta Kappa-fraternity as well as the Phi E | | | p a Phi, and Phi Gamma Delta.JpHayden was awarded the silver star citization by the secretary of the navy. Hoppe Returns From Mexico Returning from Mexico city last Friday, Victor H. Hoppe of the speech department, is now a t home at his residence on fourteenth street. Hoppe left on June 17 for Mexico. He went as far as Txco, Mexico, whch is 100 miles south of Mexico city. The trip home was made via the Carlsbad Caverns, Grand Canyon, New Mexico, and the Mojave desert. Several days were also spent in visiting San Francisco and Los Angeles. Hoppe will take up his duties in the speech department on the opening of fall quarter. The play "George Washington Slept Here," by.Kaufman and Hart, authors of "You Can't Take It With You," is' now being considered by Hoppe for production during the autumn quarter. FIRST in Values FIRST in Service FIRST in Quality Your NEEDS Are Our DEEDS The Students Co-op There's Work to be Done Between Edens hall and the main building sets this memorial to the students who were lost on Mount Baker several years ago. Work on the memorial was begun last summer. Today m its uncompleted stage, it might represent a replica of the stone age being carefully preserved by the college. . . Until proper identification and publicity is given it, the memorial is as buried as those whose memories it stands for. Let's speed along this worthy service. Softballers Play Huskies At University Again because of a last minute change of schedules, the Western College Viking softballers will play today with the University of Washington Huskies in Seattle instead of last Wednesday as was announced in last week's Collegian. The local boys will attend the Seattle- Oakland game in the evening in the Sick stadium. - McAuley will start in the pitcher's box for the Vikings while Gudyka and his nothing ball will be in reserve for the rubber game. The Huskies won the first game of the series on the local field. Those making the trip to Seattle are Hugh Hassell Walt Bryski, Lyle Pettyjohn, Jack Bromley, Oscar Johnson, Jerry Connell, Stuart Fresk, Del Boulton, Leonard Rod-land, Ken McAuley, Ernie-Dzurich, and Coach Charles Lappenbusch. KLIPSUN UNDER WAY Staff members and photographers working on the 1942 Klipsun seem to believe in the old saying about the early bird and the worm. Work on9 copy and photography for next year's book has already begun. Graduation shots and several feature pictures already are on the complete list. Jane Hamilton, 1942 editor, will travel to Seattle this week to make contact with the Western Engraving company, engravers of the Klipsun. From them she expects to get new ideas of the 1942 annual. A new feature added to the Klipsun will be a section devoted to this summer school session. Washington Defeats Norsemen In Exciting Game Featured by the pitching and hitting of Bonney, Husky pitcher, the University of Washington Huskies defeated the Western College Vikings 7-3 in a softball game played last Friday on the local field in back of the PE building. This was t he first game of a home and home series between the two institutions. Bonney held the locals to five hits and contributed a homer with two men aboard in the sixth inning. Western took an early lead in the rence, the Husky shortstop came up with everything hit near him including a couple that looked like they were tabbed for several bases. WILSON ALL PURPOSE SPORTING EQUIPMENT Morse Hdw. Co. Established 1884 second inning when Dzurich singled and then stole second. Pettyjohn, next up, got on by a fielder's choice. Both scored later following outs made by Bromley and Fresk. The Huskies came back in the third inning on a triple by Fauss and an error that allowed him to score. From then on the game settled down into a pitching duel until the sixth when Bonney won his own ball game by hitting out a long homer, scoring two men ahead of him. It was Bonney's third hit out of four times at bat for the day. The Huskies scored two more runs i n . t h e seventh. Western got its final run in the seventh when Dzurich tapped out his third hit for the day and later scored. The game was featured by excellent fielding plays on both sides. Dzurich, Hassell, and Byr-ski came up with several good catches for"1 t he locals while Cla- STANNARD REPLACES JONES AS CHENEY COACH Clarifying the coaching- situation at the Eastern Washington college was the announcement made by President Tieje last Tuesday that Jerry Stannard, former football coach at Whitworth college in Spokane, had been named assistant coach. President Tieje said Stannard would replace Hal Jones, who resigned to report for active duty with the army one week after he was named coach. Stannard once played center on the Cheney football eleven and served as assistant line coach in 1934. Later, he became head coach at Whitworth, a position he held until 1940 when he left to take graduate work at Washington State college. Stannard will act as assistant to athletic director, Red Reese, for the 1941-42 season.

New Instructors For Summer Leaves and vacations of various faculty members for the summer have brought several new instructors to the college. Dr. Paul Grim of the Campus school is leaving for the workshop at Syracuse university. His work in the ninth grade is being taken over by Creighton E. Hays, head of the social science department of the West Seattle high school. Miss Anne Merrill, of the Falk Training School of the University of Pittsburgh, will teach the kin-dergarden in the absence of Miss Synva Nicol, and Miss Hallie Richardson will teach the sixth grade in place of Miss Mary Louise Williams. Back from leave of absence at. Columbia, Miss Hazel Breakey has returned to the Art department. Although the name of Miss Mar-jorie Dawson does not appear in the summer bulletin, she will carry her technique classes as usual. IRC Holds First Meeting Wednesday evening, the International Relations club held the first in a series of round-table discussions planned for the summer quarter. Don Kinzer and Lela Kaufman led a lively discussion of the present European crisis. Kinzer announced that no sew members will be taken in for the summer quarter,' but all meeetings will be open to anyone interested. Meetings will be held' on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. Informal discussions of any subject which those attending wish to talk about will be heM. After an absence of several terms, the Woodwind trio of the Seattle Symphony will again be presented at the assembly on Tuesday morning,' June 25. The trio is composed of Frank Horsfall, flute; Whitney Tustiri, oboe, and Ronald Phillips, clarinet, with Gladys Bezeau Phillips, pianist, accompanying the trio. For the past six years this ensemble within the Seattle Symphony has played together and has been constantly requested for concert and radio programs. The repertoire of this how-famous group includes many of the works of the great composers which have been transcribed for the trio. Surmounting the difficulty of finding suitable compositions for their programs, both Mr. Horsfall and Mr. Tustin have arranged and made transcriptions of works which otherwise would not be available for woodwind instruments. It is estimated that the Seattle Woodwind trio has been heard by over.50,000 students in Washington high schools and colleges. In Friday's assembly Superintendent Worth McClure will address the students. Old Glory Flies Atop School Building Old Giory flies atop the school building rather than in its regular place on the flag pole on the knoll. WWC missed out on Flag day when the lines on the 85-foot pole became entangled. A steeplejack called to remedy the situation refused to climb the pole because it was too old and dangerous. A new pole will be installed on the knoll upon its arrival, said President W. W. Haggard. The original was put in place in 1924. BOARD SELECTS FOUR NEW MEMBERS Selecting new members for the summer session played the major role of the board of control meeting held last Wednesday. Dale Courtney, Wayne Weber, Helen Masters, and Dorothy Schaus were the new appointees. Other business included the accepting of the summer quarter budget. It was announced at the meeting that 750 student body tickets had been sold and with special students, the enrollment was expected to exceed 800. President Haggard Faculty Attend Conference Prominent figures in the program of the sixth Northwest Summer Conference on Higher Education will be several, faculty members ,of Western Washington college. The conference will be held at the University of Washington in Seattle from June 22 to June 25, inclusive. Dr. W. W. Haggard, Dr. M. F. Ku-der, and Dr. Irving Miller will attend from WWC. President Haggard will preside over the afternoon session, Monday, June 24. This section will be devoted to aspects of general education. Dr. Haggard is also scheduled to speak on "Survey Courses." Dr. M. L. Kuder, registrar, is listed as secretary and co-leader of the • section dealing with orientation of college students. He will guide the discussion embracing personnel problems in the freshman year. "General Education," . is the theme of the entire educational conference. An interlocking program provides opportunity for speakers, for round-table discussions, and for panel discussions. Edwin B. Stevens, college of education of the University of Washington, is the direct-' or of the conference. City School Children Offered First Enrollment Chance ...Filled with children eager to go to school, the campus elementary and 'junior high schools started their four and one-half weeks' summer session, Monday, June 17. Unlike previous years, enrollment was first, offered to children from the city schools. Principals of each of the fourteen elementary schools of the community were asked to select two children from each grade who would most profit from a new educational environment. These are normal children, not remedial cases. Parents were asked to guarantee uninterrupted attendance if they wanted their child to attend summer school. ' Blanks filled out by the principals gave the children's background, making it possible to plan the classes to meet their needs. The twice-a-week swimming classes are usually favorites of the children. The campus junior high for summer consists of two children from each division in the city's junior high schools. As In the elementary schools, emphasis is on the advantage of a new situation, not remedial work. Children were given the opportunity to express their desire to attend. In the junior high morning ses-. sion English classes are held along such lines as dramatizations and magazine publishing, mathematics to fit the students' needs, and social science units on interesting subjects. Music experience in singing and listening is adopted to the group. Remedial work will be done with one child chosen from the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades in the fourteen city elementary schools. The junior high remedial classes in arithmetic and reading consist of four children from Whatcom junior high and one each frcan Fairhaven and the campus junior high schools. A class in remedial speech which centers around radio broadcasting is offered selected students from the junior hjgh schools of the community. Kefauver and Odum Principal Speakers of Northwest Meeting Held At WWC Grayson N. Kefauver, dean of the school of education, Stanford university, and Dr. Howard Odum, dean of the 'school of public administration at the University of North Car^- olina, are to be two of the principal speakers at the Teachers Conference of Northwest Affairs held, at WWC on July 1, 2, and 3 in co-oper-- ation with the Northwest Regional council.

A Few Tips On How To Enjoy the Summer Another good old summertime has rolled around and many of us are passing through the transformation from teachers back to students. A f T p n r h p r lt; ; Let the Collegian give you a few tips on how to make this summer Y_ . c , , . . enjoyable and successful. Take an interest jn the recreational activities planned for the summer. Make it point to be on at least two of the college-planned outings. Give those tired limbs that necessary exercising by turning out for the numerous sports offered through the Physical Education department. Be sociable and mix with your fellow sufferers at the college social functions. Follow these tips and your summer will be unusual in interest and variety. Small Percentage Of Teachers Under Minimum Collegian Offers New Policy of Interest; Everything Depends on You , In the hope that co-operation and inetrest will be furnished by the many teachers attending WWC for the summer session, the Collegian will publish during this period editions that will contain articles largely for teacher benefit and interest. Those teachers and students who have a yen to furnish articles of this nature are asked to submit their ideas and philosophy in writing to the Collegian office. Your contributions and interest will greatly aid and affect the success of this new policy of the paper. Why don't you sit down and write that article now? Surely, it's been on your chest for a long time. Are You Interested in Your State Superintendent? Then Vote! Election time is rolling around again and already many candidates have thrown their hats into the ring for the office of state superintendent of schools. This office is the one most vital to teachers. Those interested in teacher welfare and success, should not miss this opportunity to select the right candidate for that position. The Collegian plans to present a preview of what might happen this fall at the polls by carrying on a straw ballot of the candidates for this office during the summer session. Teachers, though most directly affected by the position of state superintendent, often seem to be the least interested. The Collegian hopes to create enough interest in the coming election to cause an unusual ballot at the polls by teachers. Watch this newspaper for further details! One Last Suggestion When you are downtown for that evening meal or after-theater snack, patronize the Collegian advertisers. They help make this paper possible. Before you do your summer shopping, look through the Collegian ads. The item you are looking for may be listed there at just the right price. Be wise. Shop the Collegian way. You'll find it pays. Just because this papers contains only five columns—it doesn't mean we are "fifth columnists." J • # If it's this hot in June—what will it be like in August? AMIRICAIN 2 FIRST-RUN FEATURES n I I r /TOUR SONS with DON AMECHE And All-Color Action Hit Gentleman from Arizona Student Rates Friday and Saturday as Usual II Of 11,500 teachers in Washington, 297, only 2% per cent, are paid less than the minimum salary of $1,200 established by the 1937 legislature, as shown by a study of teachers' salaries just completed by Washington Education association. These teachers are in 255 rural districts which under the law must allot 70 per cent of their revenues to teachers' salaries. Ten counties have no teachers with sub-minimum salaries and twelve have only one to three. One-third of the low salaries are in two counties, Stevens and Spokane. Skagit county hasa*23 teachers in 17 districts receiving less than $1,200. The fact that most school districts are able to pay a minimum salary which is exceeded in only one state, California, indicates the very substantial assistance of the equalization law, also passed by the 1937 legislature. Under this law graded schools are, in general, 90 per cent equalized. The granting of adequate aid to the smallest schools was deferred, as recommended by the state planning council survey, until reorganization problems could be solved, so as not to entrench districts which should be merged in larger administrative and financing units. To supplement the 255 districts now paying low salaries to the $1,200 minimum, as soon as such a step could be wisely taken, would require only $86,000 from the total annual school resources of more than 28 millions. Navigator Goes To Press Heralded as the social guide foi next year's freshmen, the Navigator a combination of the former WAA booklet, Opener, Blue Book, anc Self-Starter, will be distributed to all students registering next fall. Written and supervised by Charles Kilbourne, the Navigator is 8x11 inches in size, profusely illustrated and contains 44 pages of general information. The Board, of Control found cause in the many duplications, inaccuracies, and out-dated information, to combine the former booklets into one inclusive booklet. Action was taken on this during spring quarter and Kilbourne has reported it as completed. NOW VIVIAN LEIGH and ROBERT TAYLOR "WATERLOO BRIDGE" Co-Feature ' lt;You Can't Fool Your Wife LUCILLE\BALL and!JAMES ELLISON ; Student Rates Friday and Saturday as Usual Collegian Newscast Resumed Radio-department activity began early this week when it was announced that the regular Collegian newscast would go on the, air at its usual time during the summer quarter. The broadcast season opened with a bang last night at 9:45 when old staff members went on the air for issue No. 1 of the "College News Week in Review:" Tryouts for new announcers were held Thursday afternoon and the new staff will be announced next week. The department still can use more writers and anyone interested is requested to get in touch with Dr. Jack Cotton, Mrs. Ruth Burnet, Leonard Newquist, or Bill Tiffany. Plans are going ahead rapidly for a number of new programs to be presented oyer station KVOS during the summer session. The form will be mainly news, roundtable discussion, and music. Student participation will be featured more than ever with local talent being drafted for the musical program. HAVE YOU HAD YOUR MANTOUX? Some questions asked by teachers concerning the new Mantoux and X-ray examinations required of school employees. Compiled from WEA Journal. Q. By what date must the mantoux be taken? A. By the end of the first month,of the school year to be covered by the certificate. Q. By what date must the X-ray examination, if required, be taken? A By the end of the first month of the school year to be covered by the certificate. Q. Who will issue the health certificate? A. The state department of health. Q...How soon will the health certificate be issued after the required testing is done? A As soon as office' mechanics permit. When issued on a negative Jtfan-toux test within 48 hours. Q. Under what conditions will X-ray tests taken prior to adoption of the new regulation be acceptable? A The film must be mailed in for interpretation. The expiration date of the certificate willl be calculated from the date on which the film was made. . • . Q. If re-tests are necessary and time before schools open is not sufficient, will temporary health cards be issued? A. Yes. Q. Will tests taken by doctors or radiologists outside of this state be acceptable? A. Doctors must be licensed to practice in Washington. Their residence is of no importance. Q. Will the health certificates issued to teachers under 35 be for one year or two years, and to teachers over 35 for one year or five years? A Certificates issued on negative Mantoux reports will all be for one year. Those issued on X-ray films will be for 2 years on individuals under 35 and 5 years on those over 35. Q. Is the injection required in the tuberculin tests, namely, 0.1 Mgm. Old Tuberculin or .005 Mgm. Purified Protein DerMtive, a stronger solution that is ordinarily required in the Mantoux tests? A. No. It is the ordinary dose. ^ Larger doses of Old Tuberculin are often used. Q. Mantoux tests have been given to teachers in some schools late this spring by local health officials and nurses. Will evidence of a negative reaction to these be accepted if within six months of the start "of the next school year? A Yes, if the report is signed by a doctor of medicine. Q. What evidence of X-rays taken within two years of the start of the next school term for teachers under 35 or within five years for teachers over 35 meet the requirements for the health certificate? A The films must be sent in for interpretation and the expiration date on the certificate will be calculated from the date on which the film was made. Q. The regulation indicates that teachers over 35 may be required to furnish X-ray plates oftener than once in five years when such an examination may be required by the interpreting board in cases where diagnosis is doubtful. Who will pay for the additional examinations? A This will be determined by conditions in the individual case. Q. What protection do the teachers have against unreasonable charges? A They have a free choice of physicians in the state and the state department of health will be willing to intercede for them if charges are unreasonable. Q. Will local county health officials and members of the state department of health administer Mantoux tests to teachers without charge? A. The state department does not have sufficient personnel to make this practice general. The local health officer should be consulted for information as to the local practice. Q. How reliable is the Mantoux test in proving that "no tuberculosis exists in the case of a negative reaction? A.

Unless the great gods of sportdom take a complete reversal of form^and^oweVo-fewothletes on our pretty little campus come fall, next yeor should be one of "char-acter building' for' our genial mentors, Sam Carver and Chuck Lappenbusch. • Gazing into the proverbial crystal ball, we see a hazy resemblance of a football team accompanied by a glaring question mark. When the fog lifts, we find Jim Hollings-worth, left guard, and Don Bell, left end, standing alone as the only members of the first eleven returning. The apparent question is: "Can Lappy's reserve department fill the remaining positions as well as their predecessors?" To plug a lineup that formerly boasted the fancy-stepping Jones, the hard-driving cheesebox, Russ Davis, and the dependable Vaughn Weber along with Tisdale, Munkres, Miller and the rest is not a problem for a football coach, but for a miracle worker on a par with Houdini or .Mandrake. Of course, there is the matter of reserves. . . . Yes, it looks as though Head Man Chuck will be counting many thousands of football players before recovering from a severe case of insomnia between now and 8:00 p. m. September 28, when the Viks square off with the Loggers from the College of Puget Sound. 5am Carver has to find forty points before he can win the WINCO cinder carnioal. With Wayne Weber, the conference broad jump king lost through graduation, the situation becomes definitely more acute. The "Burlington Flyer" was always good, for five points a meet and an occasional point in the dashes. Which brings us to the point. . . . SOME' THING MUST BE DONE TO GET MORE ATHLETIC TALENT ON OUR CAMPUS if we are going to keep on a par with the other members of the conference. How many of you returning students . . . yes . . . alumni, have helped in this respect? It is time that We were getting a livelier alumni group . . . one that will help put our school on the map athletically. We have smart efficient coaches, good facilities, and. now what we need is MATERIAL to decorate our fields and gym. Those of you that have helped have done very Well. . . . Keep up the good work. . . . But from the rest of you, we really would appreciate your cooperation. Many of you probably haven't heard of the now famous "2.35 plan." In simple language . . . one must have a 2.35 grade average to get a school job. After getting the job one has to maintain a 2.00 average. From this observer's point of view, we think the plan a good one . . . I F . . . it were universal among the WINCO members. It seems to me that it is hardly fair to Messrs. Lappenbusch and Carver to compete with members of their own conference on a scholastic basis. What do you think? Here and there . . . Director Carver is offering an elaborate intramural program this summer . . . softball, basketball, golf and tennis are included in his. repertoire. . . . He says, "Ail those interested sign the bulletin board in the PE building." Russ "Weismuller" Jackson gives instruction in lifesaving. . . . Started yesterday and runs for five weeks. . . . Quoting M/. Jackson, "Class members will receive a Red Cross lifesaving card and will have the privilege of wearing the insignia on their suits upon successful completion of the course." . . . On the debit side of the athletic ledger next year . . . the conference champion WWC golf team returns intact. . . . Webster, Kvam, and Smith, the top three, are all freshmen.. . . Ten veterans coming back for basketball; Glen Smith is the only one to leave us. . . . Cliches we promise not to use while writing this column . . . "Blitzkrieg," "Howitzer," and "Uncle Wayne." . . ^ Bill Brenner, the ex-Bellingham Chinook and former WWC student won himself national recognition by a boner play while playing for the To coma Tigers against the Yakima Pippins a while back. It seems that the pitcher tossed a wild pitch with the sacks bulging, arid instead of chasing the ball back to the backstop, Bill asked the umpire for a new ball and all three runs scored. . .... Incidentally Bill is pounding the ball hard and according to well-founded reports, is the most improved player in the Western International league this year. . . . Well . . . see you next week . . .

V A summer of study combined with a variety of recreational opportunities is available to everyone. Trips on fgot, bike,, horseback, boat, and bus to a number of. interesting points are attractions which are offered. The newly created recreation office in the dean of men's office is in charge of Chet TJllin, assistant to Miss Weythman. Students are urged not only to use the office for further facts on the major events, but also as ah information bureau in finding the best picnicking spots, fishing and boating waters, where and how to aqua-ski and so forth. The unique feature of this on and off the campus program is its flexible adjustment to the individual both physically and financially. Others on the recreation committee include E. A. Bond, Sam Carver, Jack Cotton, Miss Lillian George, and Miss Elizabeth Hopper. Qualifications For Victoria Listed With complications arising from the European war, the annual Victoria cruise scheduled for July 13, will be carried on in somewhat a different manner this year. Because of business overload it has been difficult to secure a boat for the trip which may affect the date arranged. Those planning to make the trip should check to'see if they have one of the following to serve as admittance to Canada: . 1. Birth certificate. 2. Affidavit signed by one or both parents. 3. Baptismal certificate. 4. Older brother or sister along. Watch the Collegian and bulletin for further developments.

Badminton and swimming are also on the sports program. The schedule for those two sports has been listed elsewhere on this page.

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. .

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.

As soon as this great news was out we found Gertrude Longley, former national ski champion, polishing ski boots' and airing her ski clothes which hadn't been in use since the winter of 1908.

Kibbe Kails on Kupid By DAM STUPID "It's beautiful," cried Miss George as Mr. Kibbe handed her the lovely red rose and said, "Love blooms but once and when it blossoms on the campus its petals are strewn hither and yon." This scene, beneath the archway of the library entrance has of late been taking a strong-hold in the life of this Psychology professor.

You need a requisition , It is hard for such a warm-hearted man as Mr. Kibbe to shower his psychological points of view only upon his psychology classes. Instead, he uplifts his spirits and holds a conference hour with Miss George each day. Sometimes he even helps her in the library between the stacks—how versatile is this muscalar man. How old are you .. PHYSICALLY? It's hard for us of the staff to take these bare mud facts and make glass out of them, but if Freud were alive today he would say that Mr. Kibbe is in love.

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.

Girls Get Wet; Walk Plank • Monday afternoon, fourten big splashes were heard coming from the pool when Blue Barnacle initiates walked the plank blind-folded In Captain Kid style. Describing different strokes and dives is pretty hard when you cant use your hands several of the girls found out. The girls were divided into groups of four for a ping pong relay. They carried a ping; pong ball in their mouths as they swam the length of the pool. The winning team received jelly beans as their prize. Bathing caps didn't keep the girl's curls dry this time, they had to remove them while ducking for apples 4n the water. After each one had succeeded in sinking their teeth' in an apple, they had to prepare for a beauty contest by braiding each other's hair. First prize, an orange sucker, went to Iris Bowden, second prize to Mary Jean Moore, and third prize to Bernice Renins. Consolation prize went to Georgina Voris who really took a beating on Captain Kid's plank. Football Men at Daniels Hall Gommend Apple Picking • Ye Olde Daniels hall House News, compiled by Ye olde Compilers, Jake and Don. A house meeting was held last week at which time house officers and committees were chosen. The Daniels boys were honored by the presence of Jim Hollings-worth, of the Army Air corps. Jim, who was captain of the football team" last year, has received his wings and is stationed at Paine Field. lt; FLASH! The football players of Daniels hall are at present experiencing a seventh heaven. We all think that men students should go picking apples more often. It is, of course, our patriotic duty to take care of all the girls while our industrious classmates harvest the all-important apple crop. The following incident occurred a short time ago. Bob Ludwick said to Butch Faller, "My mother sent me some 'affectionate pie from home." "What kind of pie is that?" returned Butch. "The top crust is stuck on the bottom crust," said Bob, sheepishly. Edwards hall's sad sad news. The High street Comet is still minus an axle. With Edwards hall quite bare because of the fact that most of the boys went to Wenatchee nothing of importance has happened. Edwards hall inmates are wondering why Bill Hatch is forced to go to Seattle so often. Of coures he lives there! Ed Hickenbottom was one of the fourteen brave souls who hiked to the Kulshan cabin over the weekend. A good time was had by all, (he says.) Orchids should go to the girls, at Edens hall who have volunteered to take over the duties of house boys who are picking apples. (And I dont mean in the Garden of Eden.) Its' not an easy job and it takes time. Girls who work from eight to nine are Edith Larsen, Mildred Spromberg, and Ruthe Olds, who also has a sweeping beat in the main building. The lunch hour shift is being done by Marchettta Ramsdell, Mary Lou Hull, and Kay Alvord. Sharing the evening work are Lorene Zimmerman, Jean Wittier, Ellen Van Weiringen, Zosia Nowogroski, Nancy Douglass, Louise Estergreen, Mary Louise Burke, Mary Jean Brand-strom, Jeanette Bright, Phyllis Art-ley, Fay Stiles, Cheryl Smith, Mar-gerie Moyer, Virginia Gerard, Mar-jorie Heintzleman, Lorraine Juvet, Marilyn Johnson, and Melissa Pearsons. Collett Court's last news. "What will we do?" "Where will we go?" moaned the gals of Collett Court as they learned they would have to vacate the premises. Yes, Collett Court is to be closed indefinitely and the girls will have to leave the best home on the hill for another girls' house. This is all the news for a long time. Here's hoping the house news will survive without us. Tolo Date Changed; Lappy Says Team Can Attend • Tuesday, November 10, is the new date of the AWS informal to be held in the Tulip room of the Hotel Leopold. "Because of the fact that so many boys are in Wenatchee saving the apple crop, it was deemed wise to change the date so that more people would be able to go to the only informal of fall quarter. More girls are expected to sign because "Lappy" has given his personal permission for the football boys to attended," according to Jeanne Fra-ser, informal chairman. "Even though the date has been changed negotiations have been made with the spooks to stay over until the new date," says Miss Fra-ser. The dance is a program affair and girls are urged to sign immediately, and to start trading dances now. There will be sixteen dances, and intermission will be between the eighth and ninth. Music will be furnished by Ken Heun and his orchestra, and the dance will last from 9 till 12. oat O m WWC boys pick 'em. The remaining students at WWC eat 'em. Yon guessed it— apples.

Zs4.-:.': On the Sidelines with warren beecroft WE MUST NOT FORGET THEM * Their husky voices don't echo down the main hall any more, nor do you see their sturdy bodies wearing the blue and white of their alma mater. Instead, this year, these same voices are echoing over parade grounds, from ship to ship in the navy or maybe from plane to plane in the air corps. These same sturdy bodies are proudly clothed in the khaki and blue of their country. Wherever these voices are today, are the men who were former students of WWC. As former students and as our friends they deserve the right to know how we are carrying on for them here at college. So, next time you pass the desk in the main hall, drop in a few of those odd pennies—it will help. If you have a special friend in mind, tell us. Seventy-five cents will send him the WWCollegian for a whole year. • Lappy and his crew again take to the road this week. Baron Barofsky and his Lutheran 'leven will be their objective. Both teams, still smarting from the terrific wallopings they absorbed last week, will be out for mutual revenge tomorrow. The Lutes will have a psychological edge from two angles. The game will be played on the Parkland pebbles and to top that it will be Pacific Lutheran's big homecoming affair. The Lutheran's famed aerial circus will not be present this year. The Marvs—Tommervik and Harshman are in the navy, so is Marty North. Never-the-less there still remains one Harshman, a 160 pound, right half Sterling Harshman. Indirectly, there is another Harshman... His name is Art Larson, brother-in-law of Marv... Last year the Viks held the highly tonted Lutherans to a 6-6 half time tie but completely collapsed in the fourth quarter to go under 25-6. This year things will be different. It will be power vs. power, neither team being able to boast much of an aerial attack. If it is about time, as Lappy puts it, "for the boys to get one out of their systems,' the Viks should squeeze a one touchdown win from the Lutes. - . • In journalistic lingo "30" means finis. Last Saturday three Winco teams limped homeward each labelled with fat, foreboding 30's . . . significant of the finis of a very "bad day" for each. St. Martins Rangers probably took the worst beating from a powerful Portland eleven, not so much by the score board, but through sheer brutal bodily contacts. The Rangers' "Little All-American" candidate Frank Sinclair was put out of action in the first quarter with a sprained ankle. A few moments later Frank Was carried off also with a sprained ankle. Don Cooley was next. His was a wrenched shoulder. To add insult to injury, Tim Randall, who was sent in to relieve Cooley, was carried from the field suffering a broken collarbone. Those Portland Pilots really ran the Rangers rampant from then till the final gun. The score: SWC 6, PU 39. • Next came the Cheney-Lute purge. Nothing unique about this tussle except that no admission was charged. The boys from the'5 Round Table were getting even with the tax commission, so they opened the gates to everyone; The Savage unflinchingly scalloped the luckless Lutes 32-0. Wildcat Homecoming Success; Trounce Hapless Norse 32-0 Central " T " Formation Baffles Vik Linemen; Moose Zurline Injured • Boiling up a 26 to 0 half time lead and adding a fifth score in the third period, Central Washington's Wildcats celebrated homecoming by walloping the WWC Vikings 33 to 0 at Ellensburg last Saturday. The issue was never in doubt after Mike Kuchera, fullback, bucked over from the one-yard line to climax a 40-yard drive in the first quarter. '" The T-formation proved a complete mystery to the Norse as the Cats piled up a huge yardage total with a wide open running attack interspersed with passes, meanwhile effectively throttling the Viking attack. Zurline Hurt Besides leaving the Viks firmly ensconced in the cellar the defeat left them without a center, as Prank "Moose" Zurline cracked a few ribs and probably will be out of action for a week or two. Due to the fact that Ellensburg and Bellingham meet again this year the Cats gained only half a game as a result of their victory. This leaves them tied for second place with Cheney in the won-lost column, but in third place in the percentage column. Berr-Moller Heads Mural League Team Won Lost Pet. Ben-Moller 3 0 1.000 Daniels 3 1 .750 Edwards 2 1 -667 Unknowns 0 3 .000 Hot Shots 0 3 .000 • Ben-Moller strengthened their grip on the top spot in the intramural basketball league by virtue of a win over the Hot Shots by forfeit Monday. The defeat tumbled the Hot Shots into a fourth place tie with the Unknowns who kept their record of not winning a game intact by eking out a loss to Edwards, 26 to 27, on Friday. Driver helped them out by scoring 13 points for Edwards while Bruland and Barnett split 16 points to lead the Unknowns. All other games scheduled for this week have been postponed and will be played later in the season. Now came our turn. The Vikings took a "30" too, their's at the hands of an inspired gang of Wildcats. It was homecoming for Central and the boys were out to show the old grads that they too had the stuff that the Wildcat elevens of the past were famous for. The Cats began to claw their way to victory from the starting whistle and during the first two periods were able to-ring up an overwhelming 26-0 margin. Lapp's vitamites P o r t l a n d R o u tS gained a little strength during the last half, holding the hard charging Cats to one touchdown. Pinal score: Central 33, Western 0/ Morrie Wright and Moose Zurline played a stellar brand of heads-up football against Ellensburg. Wright, Lappy's handsome, he-man tackle from Longview, has been improving with each game... Saturday even .Lappy readily admitted "Morrie was magnificent." Zurline also turned in a superman game. Moose started the game with a couple of cracked ribs but they never handicapped his ability to back up the Viks' forward wall whenever it threatened to buckle. . • '• " • - When things are rolling along smoothly nobody notices the little men behind the scenes. Take the intramural program for an example... Everything is rosey in the mitral leagues. Now basketball and, bowling sched-udes are functioning smoothly. Players and teams shuffle through the lime light time after time, but never a Word of respect is heard for the organizers of the program. There's Ernie Ludwick. This is Lud's second season as chief whistle looter and brawl busier on the mural maple courts. He dotes on this job and has devoted many extra hours making sure things were run off smoothly. Assisting Lud are two more swell guys, Nat Richardson and.Ken McAulay. These fellows are out to help not hamper your games—remember that. Next time the whistle is against you dont stomp around like some temperamental show-off Keep cool and think for a minute^—! Remember, too, that these three boys probably know a lot more about the game than you do. • Intramural marked time this week with all the able bodied males of the student body over Wenatchee way swinging grotesquely from tree vo tree perched proudly, precariously picking apples. We missed them. Lappy's ' leven - Lutes Tangle Tomorrow at Parkland Faller Leads High Scorers • Ben-Moller and Daniels, who are setting the pace in the intramural basketball league, each placed three men among the ten leading scorers.

The Round Table leased the stadium, pungled up the teams guarantees, threw the gates wide open and invited everyone to come and have a good time. About 3500 spectators took advantage of thet opportunity. Cheney Jiad.. the good time, especially the tackles who shared in the scoring. • Larry Borck galloped 60 yards with an intercepted pass to score and Al Skov kicked two conversions.

Rangers 39-6 . • Charlie Bicknell, raced 60 yards o nthe first play of the game, added 19 more points during the rest of the game and tossed a touchdown pass as he paced Portland University to a 39 to 6 win over a crippled St. Martins college* team in a game billed for the Catholic championship of the1 Pacific Northwest last Saturday. St. Martins played without the services of Tom Prank and little All-American Frankie Sinclair, who were out with sprained ankles. Cooley, fullback, was injured early in the game and was forced to retire. Del Huntsinger scored two touchdowns on passes from Bicknell and Parnsworth to complete the Portland scoring. Basil, Ranger center, intercepted a pass in the furth quarter and cantered 30 yards to score St. Martins' only touchdown. Gossip From Gilroy Pvt.

Kulshan Hikers Get Late Start By Georgina Voris • Instead of the appointed time of 7 a. m., the Kulshan cabin trip started at 8:15. Of course it was the boys who held things up. The fourteen hikers were piled into three cars because the truck was frozen, (and it didn't even get near a glacier.) At Glacier, the caravan halted at the busy metropolis to stock up on coca-cola and candy bars. A mile further on the cars were abandoned and the seven-mile trek to the cabin was begun. When they reached Smokey creek they stopped to refresh themselves. The cabin was reached at 3:15 p. m., except for the "flashes," who were there half an hour earlier. Not satisfied with the blisters they had acquired on the trip up, the campers again set forth on a hike before dinner. After the dinner dishes had been duly washed and dried, the tired trekers sat around the firelpace singing songs and playing games. While they were trying to get some much-needed sleep, they were disturbed by the rats having a jam session. Big surprise! The boys got up and cooked breakfast, then woke the girls up. Can you guess what was done the next day? That's right! More hiking. It was late when the tired and weary students and chaperones reached home again, but they all agreed that it was worth all the effort. Bring Your 25c, Friday!

The scene of the ordeal was the PE building. They started out with bending-over exercises by walking around the swimming pool and holding on to their ankles at the same time. After a dip in the pool the initiates were blindfolded and told of the pitiful situation in Greece where people were eating slugs, concentrated breakfast food direct from German concentration camps, and cat's eyes. The new members walked barefoot through samples of these foods and then were "forced" to taste them. After everyone was properly initiated, refreshments were served consisting of hot dogs, fruit salad, apple cider, and chocolate sundaes. A business meeting also was held and Kay Alvord, Ruthe Olds, and Dorothy Miller were elected as song leaders for the school. The date for the Valkyrie brawl was set as Nov. 21, and Ruth Krause put in charge as general chairman. The Valkyrie girls decided to sell chrysanthemums for the Homecoming game. The new members who were initiated are: Helen Darrah, Joy Hatt, Kay Alvord, Lois Jo Smith, Jeanne Fraser, Cheryl Smith, Dorothy Bell, Bernice Shellhamer, -Ozella True, and Sheila Moore. 25c Buys a Homecoming Booklet Ex-Collegian Editors Serving Apart • Clarence Soukup, yeoman first class, USN.-'and former editor of the WWCollegian is now in Seattle after serving on active duty in Alaska.

I have been to Europe since the war, but it is rather difficult to get across. The main difficulty is getting the necessary permission." Dean McKenzie, head of the school of journalism at the University of Washington, and American Adviser of British Information Service pro-ceded to give a brief account of his life as a journalist. The dean wiped his forehead with his handkerchief as he gave a vivid description of Adolf Hitler. "It is very difficult to carry on a conversation with Hitler. When he is asked a question his answer is a 15-minute quote from one of his speeches." A few months before Hitler became chancellor of Germany, Dean McKenzie asked him if he would allow freedom of the press when he became chancellor. Hitler replied, "Yes, except for my enemies." Journalist at Seven The professor shifted his large frame and looked around the auditorium as he continued. "When I was about seven years old I started my career as a journalist.

This petition, with more than* 200 signatures, was presented to the Board of Control Wednesday afternoon by PhilHansen. The second proposal was drawn up by members of the Education Forum to express the opinion of those who believe that there is a definite distinction between social and honorary organizations. Thispetition asks a vote on two propositions: (1) "Shall social fraternities and sororities be allowed atWWC?" land (2) "Shall honorary and professional fraternities, societies, and clubs be allowed atWWC?" ; - The first petition, which was filed Jast week, does not distinguish between social andhonorary groups. According to Ann Pearson, it was formulated by people who believe ttiat the basicphilosophy of both social fraternities and honor societies is the same.

Joint Committee of Students, Faculty Study 'Frat9 Issue; Aim at Definition TenStudents, Four Faculty Compose Group A special student-faculty committee has been formulated tostudy the problem of honorary societies on campus. The committee, headed by Fred Knapman,chairman of the faculty's committee on student affairs, is composed of 10 students and four facultymembers. The committee was organized as a result of the faculty's decision of December 13, 1949,allowing honor societies to be established at the college. Faced with the problem of determining whatactivates and achievements should be honored by such societies, the student affairs committeedecided to seek the cooperation of a â€¢group of stujdeht leaders in establishing definite andpermanent stand- COLLEGIAN Vol. XLVI â€” No. 26 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Wash.Friday, April 7, 1950 No Scheduled Movie For Easter Sunday No movie is scheduled for this Sundayevening, April 9.

Breadth of interests. 5. Skill in working with children. The decision of the winner will be made Saturday, May 6, by the committee. ards fororganizations to meet before being recognized as legitimate hon-oraries. Since the formulation of thecommittee, petitions circulating within the student body concerning the fraternity- honorary issuehave broadened the scope of the committee's activities. In their first meeting, held Monday noon, thecommittee discussed these petitions. Ann Pearson was present at the meeting and was asked topresent some information and history of the petition which requests a vote on the question, "Shallfraternities and sororities be allowed at WWC?" Mrs. Pearson said that this petition was framed bypeople who believe that both honoraries and social fraternities are based on the same basicphilosophy. She said that the vote on this question would indicate whether the majority of students favoror oppose both types of organization. COUNTER PROPOSAL Cecil Hannan, a member of theEducational Forum, discussed a later petition drawn up by members of that organization. This petitionattempts to distinguish between social fraternities and honorary or professional organizations.Hannan told the committee that the purpose of this petition is to clarify the issue brought up by the other petition. During the discussion it was established as an objective of the committee to define theterms "fraternity" and "honor society." Following the special student elections, the committee expects to be able to present to the college administration a statement of student opinion ' as expressed inthe election, and Â» statement of policy as established by the committee. CHANGE UP TO TRUSTEES Knapman emphasized that in the final analysis, any change in present â€¢ policy will be made onfy bythe Board of Trustees. He added that they may be expected, in reaching their decision, to considerstudent opinion, faculty opinion, and the recommendations of the jouitrfac-Â» ulty-student committee.Other faculty members of the committee are Miss Nora^Cummins, Bill McDonald, and Miss LorrainePowers. Students members are June Carrick, Paul Gillie, Dave Grocott, Cecil Hannan, Bill Jones, Cliff Mc- Cullem, Donelle Mosier, Loren Ran- ^m, Ken Thiessen, and Jess Winders. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1950 April 7 - Page 2 ----------Western Washington Collegian Since 1BW Member Associated GoOeCirfe Press Entered as second-class matter at the post office at Bellingham by virtue of the act of March 8, 1879. fc Printed by CoxBrothers Williams, Inc., Bellingham, Washington.

Adviser..... _ _Monty Jones Cleverly Worded Petitions May Conceal the Real Issue As a manifestation of the basicdemocratic doctrine of popular sovereignty, the right of the people to legislate directly by initiative andreferendum is one.of the privileges which our liberty-loving forefathers fought valiantly to secure. Thisright must be retained in order to protect the.people from inaccurate promulgation of the popular will bytheir elected representatives. Malicious disuse of this power, however, is not in the best interests ofdemocracy. We maintain that the right of petition is being abused when framers of petitions obscure their intentions by the use of carefully chosen words, which may hide the real issue. In the currentcontroversy, two such petitions have been drawn up, with apparent elaboration. The basic issue isone that you will never discover by reading either of the two petitions now confronting the" student body.The basic issue is this: Some students are opposed to the establishment on this campus of nationalhonorary societies, with particular reference to Kappa Delta Pi, a co-educational professional society for students of education; another faction is in favor of the establishment of Kappa Deta Pi, and possiblyother similar honorary societies. Both sides wish the issue to be aired and voted upon by the entirestudent body. But to achieve this election they have drawn up petitions that only confuse and mask thereal issue, whether deliberately or not. The one petition by implication includes the controversialorganization in the category of social fraternities; the other petition associates Kappa Delta Pi with theestablished clubs on campus. Its opponents attempt to give the honorary the stigma of the "frat"; itsfriends try to give it the halo of the recognized clubs. Actually, although the honorary has characteristicsof both types, it does not fit readily into either classification. The real joker is this: everyone admits thatthe vote of the student body on this issue will in no sense be final or deciding. The vote will be only arather confused expression of what the students of Spring quarter, 1950, believe. This opinion may or may not be used by the administration and Board of Trustees in making their ultimate decision as to whetherhonoraries or fraternities shall be allowed at WWC. Out of it all may come some good. The faculty andthe Board of Control may learn to consult more meticulously popular opinion on both sides of thequestion before making any major decision. Students may learn that it pays to express their opinionsbefore a decision is made, rather than afterwards. The leaders of our student government may initiate a constitutional amendment clarifying the procedure for legislation by petition and making a deceitfulpetition difficult for constitutional sharks to present.â€”P. J. G. 'A Rose by Any Other Name WouldSmell...' By GARY BRANDNER It is an oft-quoted maxim to young potential writers that the title is allimportant; that as often as not it is the title which will sell the piece. However, the all important title isoften not held very sacred by the pocket-size book publishers and the movie makers. For instance: Anovel is published about two Alaska fishermen marooned on an iceberg. They are rescued by Eskunoeswith whom they live for 18 months. The novel's title is "A Year and a Half Among the Eski-moes." Itcomes out in the pocket edition as "Passion in the North." The movie version is called "Iceberg." Thenthere's an uncomplicated book about a woman lawyer who must choose between her husband and hercareer. It is called "The Decision of Penelope Boake." The 25 cent size -apears as "Shameless Woman." The movie is called "The Choice." Take, for example a story about a girl who is jilted by her boyfriendand spends years plotting revenge on him and the girl he married, only to have them die in an autoaccident before she can execute her plans. It is called "Hell Hath No Fury." That title might go with thepocket book publishers but the Hollywood version is likely to be called something like "Vengence." Orlook at a novel about dreary small town life which has a social thesis on what humdrum existences wehumans lead. It might be titled "Soul of the Wanderer." Chances are a book like this would never makethe pocketsize shelves or the motion pictures, but if it did, it would presumably show up as "City of Sin"and "Treadmill," respectively. A simple biography like "The Life of Roscoe Fro-bish" would probably bealtered to read "Roscoe Fro-bish and the Kinsey Report" and, of course, "The Frobish Story."

Please remember that all views expressed in thiscolumn are my own and do not necessarily represent those of the WWCollegian. Letters to the EditorHONORARY OPPONENT EXPLAINS STAND If a ^person has proven himseli outstanding in a certainfield of endeavor he certainly deserves recognition in J that field. One can name organizations whichare designed to give this recognition. But only a limited number of these groups admit to membershipany and all who .show proof of deserving it. "W" club on our campus is a good example of the few whichdo. It is open to every member who has earned a letter in a major sports. The members are notselected by existing club members. They have proven to the whole student body that they deservetheir status. Scholarship Society is another example. If a student has honorably attained the necessarygrade point he has been admitted. If his record has been accidentally overlooked, he felt free to ask if hemight be admitted. These two honorary groups serve a useful purpose in our school and seemacceptable to the whole student body. But now a different type of honorary group has been introducedto the campus â€” a self-perpetuating group which elects its members upon such grounds as it shallchoose to recognize. Its sponsors say that a 3.0 grade point is what qualifies an education student to be invited to membership. Does this mean they want another group on the campus (Continued on Page 8)"Too little and too late" is a common cry that has lost many a battle for the cause of justice. Thisproblem of promoting fraternities and sororities in order to drown social freedom on our fair campus has recently come to our attentionâ€”too recently, in fact. A common trick often employed by underhanded politicians is that of hiding their wily schemes behind the skirts of official secrecy until the time isripe. Then our "loyal servants" came forth to proclaim a great progressive movement which to alloutward appearances, has been clean and above board from the start. Your reporter is one who stillnaively believes that the sucker should at least know the name of the horse on which the odds are forcing him to place his bet. A group of freedom-loving students have recently organized to oppose the fratmovement on our campus. The group is to be highly commended for bringing the issue into the open tobe properly fumigated. As official mouthpiece for the opposition, your reporter would appreciate somestudent reactions via the "Letters to the Editor" route. The fat is in the fire now. Let's keep it sizzling.(Editor's Note: Whether you agree or disagree with columnist Wolf, the "Letters to the Editor" column isthe place to express your opinion.) . * * * I On the lighter side, we hear that co-eds at SouthernMethodist university, in Dallas, were-asked to refrain from sun bathing on the dormitory roofs as theywere distracting the attentions of construction workers on campus building projects.

Don Bushell, former Western music instructor, made the newsthis month by having a small section of his life history published in the March issue of the "Nation'sBusiness," a monthly business magazine. The article containing the story of Don Bushell's past, "That Stuff Called Culture," was written by Lili Foldes, wife of Hungarian pianist Andor Foldes. It centers onthe topic that Americans should quit apologizing for native artists and learn to apreciate them as Europe does. According to the article, Don chose music as his profession and, the cello as his instrumentagainst his parents' intentions. He joined the faculty of Western Washington College and taught celloand chamber music for several years. Four years ago he decided that he wanted to be a symphonyconductor. Since there was no orchestra in Bellingham, he quit his fob, which provided acomfortable living for him, his wife and two children, and moved to Seattle to face hardship anduncertainty.

These words will be heard by the Viking traveling squad at SeattlePacific college next Tuesday afternoon, as the Blue and White open their 20 game baseball season.Those same words will be hollered at Battersby field next Friday as the Viks open their home seasonagainst the same Seattle Pacific college squad. Coach Joe Martin and his assistant Sid Van Sinderenhave divided the squad into "varsity" and "jayvee" squads, at least for the present time. With a total ofover 50 men turning out, the coaches couldn't give any of them the proper training, or iron out any of their mistakes. SQUAD SPLIT Wednesday. night coach Martin made the separation with about an even split of the squad. The "varsity" got a total of 25 players, and the "jayvee" the rest, which should be fairlyclose to a 25 total. "The splitting of the squad doesn't mean that you can't work your way back into astarting position on the "varsity," Martin told his charges. "We had to make the split to give you all morework at turnouts. If you want to play ball, you'll have plenty of opportunity on either team." Thre are three catchers, six pitchers, nine infielders, and seven outfielders named to the "varsity" squad. Oneinfield combination Martin has been using has Bob Gates doing the catching, Hal Norgaard at the initialbase, Bob Hughes on second, Cliff Hash covering the hot corner, and Bob Nunamaker covering theground at shortstop. Gates, Norgaard, and Hughes are lettermen from last year's squad. Norgaard andNunamaker do their hitting from the left side of the plate, with the other three-swinging from thestarboard side of homeplate. CATCHING TIGHT Dale Wilson and Dick Searles are the other twocatchers named on the "varsity" squad. These two boys are giving Gates a run for the opening nod asthe receiver in the initial game next Tuesday. Earl Senn, Gale Whitsell, and Gene Vike are also handling the big mitt at first base. Vike, who last year lettered at shortstop, decided to try his hand at first base.The others turning out for infield positions are Al Schireman and Dick Send Your Flowers From J. Q. 's The Shop That Knows What to do 1305 Railroad Ave. 4 Doors off Holly PHONE 1380 Vwâ€” Groth. Schireman is roaming the large territory at shortstop and Groth has been handling things at the hotcorner. FAST OUTFIELD The outfield, at least for the present, looks to be the tightest fight forpositions. There are four letter-men namely Norm Hash, Hal Part-low, Vern Tovera, and Jack Mc- Stott.These men are being pushed for their jobs by Bob Scoll, a letter-man of two years ago, Donald George,a fast frosh prospect from Poulsbo, and Clyde Brown, who is a transfer from the University ofWashington. Last season Brown played both frosh football and baseball for the Purple and Gold. In the pitching department there are two lettermen, Dick Patterson and Russ Neilson. LeRoy Wissinger, JimKolvoc, Gus Pranks, and Chuck Brown round out the pitching department. With four non-conferencegames next week the squad will be rounding into baseball playing shape, and should be ready for league play. The Vikings will be out to see if they can cop their first western division pennant of theEvergreen conference. Last year they took the runner-up spot, with the College of Puget Sound coppingthe bunting. This year, however, according to some of the Viks veterans they hope to slide into thecoveted spot.

By BOB MILLSWestern Washington track men will participate in their first conference meet of the year Saturday, April 8, at Tacoma. A triangular meet will be held with St. Martin's, College of Puget Sound, and WesternWashington. The inter-squad track meet last Saturday was a little disappointing. The weatherconditions prevailing that day proved to be a serious handicap. It was very* windy and extremely cold.Cizek, the head coach, was hoping that an accurate account of times and records could be kept, but. itwas nearly impossible. If times were recorded they would be far from accurate. Runners and sprinterswhen running against a strong wind, which existed last Saturday, find it extremely .difficult to meet theiraverage times. This also stands true for men participating in the field events. The traveling squad forWestern will consist of 22 men: Blauman, Brooks, Chenette, Clark, Clayton, Cozza, Garrison, Hall,Jensen, D. Johnson, R. Johnson, Larr-erman, Winters, Rielly, Nelson, Er-son, Peterson, Prevelle,Smith, West-ving, and Miller. The Vikings will be up against strong competion In the coming meet. CPS who took second place in the conference last year will have the same returning team, with theexception of one man, Mel Light. Light was the sprinter who took second place in last year'sconference. Another outstanding veteran returning from CPS is Smith, discus and shotput man. Heset two new records in the Canadian games held last summer. Although this will be his first conferencemeet he is expected to make an excellent showing. St. Martin's will have several returningveterans this year too. Wally Muir will be on the return list. Muir took second place in the low hurdles ofthe 1949 confeernce. Muir is also known for his broad-jumping abilities. His average in the broad-jump isaround 22 feet. Montey Rielly of Western Washington is a prospect for copping top honors in the 100yard dash. Rielly, a transfer from Skagit junior college, runs the 100 yard in 10 seconds flat.

However, upon cracking t h e nuts one found a note with "Margie andDale" written on it and a big red heart connecting the names. Marjorie is a freshman at WWC and Daleis a senior.

Hospice Plans GalaParty During April Plans for a house party that will be even bigger and better than last year's are rapidlybeing formulated at Hospice Inn this month. After discussing several possible places at which it could be held the boys decided upon The Cedar Chest again as the focal point for the gala affair. The party willconsist of a smorgasbord dinner with dancing, games and possibly a floor show, to complete theevening. Last year's party was held at the same place and turned out so well the boys were all in favor of a return with several added features. The possibility of hiring a band was discussed, but after a hurried glance at failing wallets the idea was ruled out as too costly. Instead, the music will be of the "canned"variety which will give a selection of top bands at small cost. As an added touch several of Hospice'sformer boys, now engaged in teaching, will be invited.

Born in the neighboring town of Blaine some 32 years ago, he waseducated in Canada and played semi-pro baseball for a while. Bill first came to WWC around 1938 andstarted turning out for football. Bill, however, was soon turned out for neglecting to pay his registrationfees. After that brief episode, Bill went to work on the railroad, becoming a locomotive engineer. As anengineer he could now be earning more than he may ever make as a teacher. But the life of a railroadman does not appeal to the domestically inclined Bill, who says it's no life for a man who loves,a quiet evening at home with his wife and kids. As our president. Bill Jones has a big job, remotely akin to hisjob as a first sergeant in the army during the war. He is presiding chairman at Board of Control meetings, a job which requires patience, tact, and impartiality, especially when controversial issues are beingdiscussed. (Top-kicks are not noted for any of those qualities.) - Bill must be ready to handle any oddjob which the Board may assign to him. He is often called upon to act as a mediator between thecollege administration and the student body when they hold conflicting opinions. The presidentappoints the numerous student body committees and checks on them to see that they arefunctioning. He keeps in touch with the departments receiving funds from activity fees. Any day at noon,you can find Bill Jones in the lounge where'he is available to any student with a complaint to register or a suggestion to make. This has been a busy year for Bill, but it has had its rewards, not the least ofwhich is seeing Western continuing to expand and progress. o ... â€¢'" The squaw and papoose wereon the platform at a jerkwater stop in the midwest when the train pulled in.

The president of theEducational Forum, which hopes to become Kappa Delta Pi educational honorary, says the mainobjective of the group is "educational research." When asked what he meant by this, he said that themembers plan to do research papers and present them to each other. This sounds like a worthwhileobjective for those who are interested, but couldn't it be accomplished without bringing onto thecampus a group whose basic principles of operation have heretofore been unacceptable policy atWestern? There is another aspect of honorary fraternities which is close to the hearts of some of thehopeful members. That is the idea of adding prestige. Two of the twenty-seven members of theEducational Forum have told me that the reason they want honoraries on the campus is that they mayhave Kappa Delta Pi on their records when they go away to graduate school, or to get a job in the field.If a student has justly earned such an added recommendation on his record, he deserves to have it. Butwhen the members of a fraternity elect students into their midst, because they judge them to havesuch things as "commendable personal qualities" and "worthy educational ideals," by what infallibleyardstick are they measuring and judging? (The above quoted material is taken from the charter of aneducational honorary society.) These phrases are so vaguely and loosely worded that the election couldeasily be a personality contest rather than a measurement of merit in the field of education. However,these phrases are typical of many honorary fraternity chapters. Even the honored Phi Beta Kappadoes not, for reasons allowed in its charter, admit all who are eligible. I do not believe that a 3.0 grade-point necessarily indicates future success in the field of education. If the student body should find itacceptable to give added recommendation to a chosen few who might more justifiably be.recognized for scholarship than for educational worth and future success, it is putting the rest of thestudents at an unfair advantage when it comes to competition in applying for jobs or graduate study.Furthermore, it would be changing campus atmosphere by endorsing a new philosophyâ€”one of ignoring those who may deserve, while aiding those who may not deserve.

St. Peter asked, "That I should admit you here." "We wrote a so-called column, sir, Throughout our freshman year." St. Peter nodded reflectively, He knew the column well. "Come in poor tools, select your harps. You've had your share of hell." V V PRATTLE A woman is as old as she looks, but a man isnt old until he stops looking. . . . Goodrich is still under the weather but the specialists who have been working on him say that he will live. . . .

There must be something to this marriage business. . . . I thought it was just a fad. V V SLEEP (Form No. 1—The Doze).; , . „ _ ; „ _ __ If it were not for dozing—that is, those little naps we steal (well, we don't really steal them) in our literature, psychology, and other classes—the number of mental derelicts, nervous breakdowns, and boarders at the Beanery would be much more. It is best not to wear a n«cktie on your "dozing days" as you can very easily strangle yourself. As you slip off into beddy-bye Jand and your head starts waggin impishly from side to side, it is very easy for your chin to slip down inside your collar and choke you to death. On the type of chairs they have here, dozing is impractical. You rest your chin in your hand and are soon on your way to dreamland. The usual lolling of the head commences. The forehead (the rest of the cranium follows very soon) comes crashing onto the seat in front or coyly slides onto the shoulder of the person next to you. Now you sit right there and read this, I have listened to you long enough. If you are given to lurching and thrashing about when you snooze, you had best stay home at night and get your eight hours. But it all boils down ot the fact that we can't live without sleep— honest! As Cervantes has put it, "Sleep is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot." It doesn't make very good sense, but it sounds pretty and that's all that counts. It is a good quotation and I often think of it just as I am dropping off to sleep. "Sleep is meat for the hungry (yawn), drink for the wirsty, neeve for the old, an— shravels for the pff-prff- porpf-pfrfr fpff-huhhh." Spotlight Falls on Kreisler Monday Climax of Season's Musicals Here Fritz Kreisler, world-famed violinist, will appear in concert at the Bellingham high school auditorium next Monday evening. Because of the war in Europe, Kreisler's engagements on the continent were cancelled. That made it possible for him to accept engagements in various parts of the United States. Kreisler's appearance in Bellingham has been anticipated with sincere pleasure. Following is the program for the concert: "Concerto, C major" (Vlvaldi-Kreisler); "Concerto, D major" (Tschaikowsky); "Cav-atina," "Shepherd's Madrigal," "Malaguena," "Gypsy Caprice," Tambourin Chinois" (Kreisler). Carl Lamson will be the piano accompanist. PERTINENT PROM PLUGS To the Girls: There will be no automatic s.p.'s for the Publications Prom.

XXXVIX—NO. 19 Western Washington College of Education. Bellingham, Washington Friday, February 16, 1940 Settlement Retrial Holds Up Work on Condemned Hill a few voted WPA Allotment To Clear Hill For College Building; Bebb And Gould Are Architects By Lyman Handy Under plans formulated by the board of trustees at their monthly meeting Wednesday afternoon, WPA work may be employed in, removal of buildings and leveling of the hill of the recently condemned land as soon as the suit is completely settled. H. P. Isler appeared before the board for WPA and presented a plan for the financing of the project. $7300 will be needed for the work, 28% of which must be furnished by the college. R. W. Greene, attorney for Margaret Day and J. B. Harm, appeared before the trusteees, urging the board to raise the evaluation of their properties from $5,000 to $7,000 and $2,500 to $3,804, respectively. The board stated that any decision on the matter would have to be made by the state attorney-general. Accordingly, the trustees voted to accept the jury evaluation. Film Library Discussed Also included in the business of the board was a discussion of a film library. According to plans, the film library would liquidate itself by rentals to local schools. Arrangements were made to raise $1,200 to defray expenses incidental to the appraisal of the condemned land. A call for bids will be issued for the construction of a tunnel to house pipes now in the basement. Bebb and Jones will continue to serve as architects for WWC when the college is ready to continue its building program. The same firm served in the construction of the PE building and ..the library. The members of the board of trustes are: Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick, Bellingham, president; Verne Bran-igan, Mount Vernon; and Steve Saunders, Marysville. Folksters Cavort ' Presenting, in costume, a.group of European folk dances, the an- . nual Folk Dancing Festival was held last night in the big gym under the direction of' Mis^./Virginia Hawke, physical education instructor. The cast was composed of the Folk Dancing club and the physical education classes 2 and 27. The dances were in four groups: Northern European, Southern European, British Isles, and American. A miniature orchestra, under the direction of Donald Bushell, furnished the music for the dances. * Thursday Off WWC will observe a vacation next Thursday, February 22, commemorating the birth1 date of George Washington, born in Mount Vernon, Virginia, in the year 1732. .', Washington was "elected the first president or the United' States arid held office for eight years.

Carnival Toll Authorized At the Board of Control's weekly session, it was requested that the WAA be aUowedjtpjJharge 5^cente to each person attending the WAA Carnival on March 2. This will allow the awarding of a door prize. In connection with tonight's Publications Prom, motion was passed to allow alumni to purchase guest tickets for husbands or wives and special students to purchase tickets for escorts. This ruling applies only to this dance. Since the majority of alumni outr side of Bellingham are riot familiar with the recently-adopted ruling on guest tickets for rec hours, a special article will appear in the Collegian next week carrying this information. Copies of this issue will be mailed to those whom it will be decided are most interested. Flunkers' Retests On Tap Tuesday Special retests for students who are deficient and are planning to student teach next quarter will be given next Tuesday at 4 o'clock in room 220.. The retests to be given are in arithmetic reasoning, arithmetic computation, and spelling. Students must pay a fee of $1.00 to the Business office for each test prior to the testing. No one will be allowed to take the tests without a'receipt for each. Clearance of the tests are a prerequisite to student teaching arid students cannot be graduated without passing them. Only 462 of WWC's 940 students went to the polls Wednesday to vote for their student and faculty representatives. With no one candidate getting a majority, the following people were chosen to be placed on the ballot in next week's final elec-toin: for four quarters women's representative, Betty Jean Bayley arid Eileen Forhan; for four quarters men's and women's representative, Harold Booth and Stan Lapin-ski; for.faculty representative, Dr. -HMrrF:^ -Ceders^rir.- arid;r:iDr gt;v Ev "Ai Bond. Only 245 women and 217 men cast their votes, thus showing that the women were especially lax in regard to voting as they outnumber the men greatly. clinical psych notes Students who would be interested in taking Education 156, Clinical Psychology, 3 crs., Dr. Woodring, during the spring quarter, are requested to report to the registrar's office before 4 p. m., Tuesday, Feb. 20.

Lince expressed a special desire for snaps of skiing, and informal shots of students in assemblies. The closing date of the contest has been extended until March 1. Dr. Hicks Receives Recognition; As theatre Guild Head U Symphony Due Soon 'Short and Simple Annals of The Poor' Theme of Pulitzer Prize 'Our Town' Building the atmosphere for a' small town in New Hampshire, the actors from the division of drama's winter quarter production, OUR TOWN, may be seen from 3 to 5 o'clock almost any afternoon The stunt in this show, is to gt;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. Doris Stevenson, as? Mrs. Webb, and Margatet; Rabb, as Mrs. Gibbs, prepare breakfast in pantomime going busily from imagined kitchen sink to the^^ make-believe cupboards. Carolyn Kuhn as Enuly ^ebb, Bill Bitch as brother !Wally, Paul Glenn as George Gibbs, and Beverly Walker as small sister, Rebecca, eat hurriedly in gobbling pantomimics 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 Warren Toms, 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.

BURNET ...Adviser S r You Five Hundred Sleepy Wonders Of Western Washington, Awaken! Wednesday a measly four-hundred odd stalwarts reported for ballot duty at the green machines in the Men's club room. Last quarter a bare four-hundred loyalists did the same act. In two quarters the voting element of the college has failed to average even one-half of the eligible balloteers of Western Washington. The amount of effort is negligible. The time taken is immaterial. The effect is tremendous. Why doesn't the student body of Western Washington vote? Because they don't care! The majority of the students in WWC don't give a hang whether the polls open at 8:00 or close at midnight. The majority of the students at WWC have the public-mindedness of a newt. The majority of the students of WWC will not be fit to step into society and take the place of a conscientious public voting machine manipulator. Why remain in the stagnant cesspool of unawareness? The trouble entailed in the obtaining of voting machines for you college students is to acquaint you with the mechanics of sensible selection.* Yet every time an election is held the.same students who are entirely familiar with the set-up drop in and do their duty. Why don't you remaining five hundred sleepy wonders of Western Washington step to the polls next week and learn how to pull a lever? No! Say College Students On Military Service By JOE BELDEN, Editor Student Opinion Surveys of America AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 15.—While the youth of Europe marches off to the batttefronts, American college students stand overwhelmingly opposed even to the mention of compulsory military service in the United States. This is revealed in a coast-to-coast poll conducted by the Student Opinion Surveys of America, results of which show that 81 per cent of the men and women attending the nation's colleges and universities are against requiring "every able-bodied American boy 20 years old to go into the Army and Navy for one year." The poll was taken using a scientific cross-section that includes exact proportions of the different types of students registered in all the institutions of higher learning. College men, who would have to carry the guns and do the marching, were found to be the most opposed, only 17 per cent favoring. But 21 per cent of the half million girls going to college said they favored military training— for the boys. The national results follow: Men Women Both Should require 17% Zl% 19% Should NOT require 83 79 81 These figures contrast with those of a recent poll taken by the Surveys, in which 87 per cent of the collegians declared themselves for R. O. T. C. training on the campus, 4 per cent more men than women giving their approval. Of those approving, however, 58 per cent specified that it should be voluntary. The attitude of campus youth on Army and Navy service is congruent with that of the American public, for in other national polls opinion has been registered emphatically against initiating this practice now so prevalent abroad. WWC Women Will Wear— Since long dresses will set the style for the Publications Prom, several WWC coeds were interviewed on the campus and asked this question: "What do you plan to wear to the Prom Friday «ight?" If you are not absolutely certain of the appropriateness of your own dress, perhaps these comments might help you to decide. In fact, they might even help you to think of a clever change for your "one and only." Jean Morgan: "Well, my dress is fitted black crepe with a slightly flared skirt. Since the dress itself is very formal, I'm going to wear a white knit sweater which has short puffed sleeves and tiny pearl'buttons. My accessories will be a string of two strand pearls and a gardenia for my hair—I hope!" Lois Beid: "I'm going to be Scotch! Well, anyway, my dress is plaid-Hred, yellow, gren, and black. The style? Oh, I dont know, it just has a very full skirt." Gerry Gildersleeve: "I'm going to wear a light-blue satin dress with a matching hip length jacket—bustle effect. The dress has a big full skirt, and is trimmed with maroon velvet bows." Jo Jeffers: "I plan to wear my rose colored taffeta dress with a short jacket. My evening coat is long black velvet in princess style." . ••• Beatrice Nilsen: "My dress is moire taffeta. The color is heavenly blue. It's very formal, but I'm also wearing my white, angora bolero jacket which has full sleeves, nearly elbow length! Yes, I knit it myself, and does it shed!" Ask Johnny. Sara Wicker: "I'm going to wear a taffeta dress, but I can't tell you exactly what color—it's a tint of rose-violet, and is trim-r med with violet velvet ribbons. It has a full skirt and train-bustle effect, but not too much. I wear a matching short jacket with the dress. Both are quilted in floral pattern." Mary Cbicon: "I'm not certain, but I think I'll wear a white chiffon dress. It is Grecian style with a pleated skirt and a short puffed sleeves." Dr. W. J. Barton, head of the psychology deparmtent at the U. of Idaho, labelled the person who wanted to put a ban on kissing as "full of prunes." The banist Wanted to reduce the influx of germs when one person implanted on another a moist kiss.' Dr. Barton claimed that the friction when kissing would bring heat; therefore killing the bacteria. —Argonaut. V : ,- A Chicago Teachers college co-ed knocked at the pearly gates. St. Peter said, "Did you, while on earth, ever indulge in necking, smoking, petting, drinking or jitterbugging?, "Never," she emphatically retorted. "Then why haven't you reported sooner," said Pete. "You've been dead for a long time." —Tempo V Sweet Briariles are trying to cheer themselves up during examination period. Meetings are held to sitmulate a more cheerful attitude during this period. Briarites are urged to get: I—sufficient sleep, 2 — sufficient study, 3 — proper food, 4—daily exercise. —Sweet Briar News. Norsemen's Club Makes History Increased enrollment of men students at WWC in 1938 made it apparent that some active men's organization was becoming a.greater necessity than ever before. While the W club continued to function, the Associated Men students had ceased to be active, and many saw the need for a pep club open to all men students. Created to fill this need was the Norsemen's club. Under Dr. Kuder's guidance a meeting, open to all interested up-perclassmen, was called, and a temporary constitution drawn up. Bob White, now graduated, was elected president and Stanley Lapinski, now a WWC junior, was chosen vice . president. Ross Gerry, also a junior, was secretary-treasurer. Membership cards were issued pledging the boys to support the functions sponsored by the organization. During its first year the group organized a paddle squad to stimulate pep and handle card stunts at football games. The first Norse informal was the beginning of what the club hopes will become a yearly event. The Puget Sound cruise through the San Juan islands was successful despite the pouring rain. Norsemen activity started this year under supervision of Stanley Lapinski, president,,. with ., Bill Schweingruber vice president, and Felix Montes, secretary-treasurer. First event of the year was an all-school Men's party, to get freshmen and upper classmen acquainted, and it was sponsored jointly with the W club. Because it was a great success, it is hoped that this, too, will become a custom. The Parents' day during homecoming was under Norse supervision; and as a result of Norsemen efforts the men again have the main hall men's club room. The Hallowe'en masquerade dance was quite a mystery affair, and the second Norsemen's informal was a treat for over 200 of the lads and lassies. Coming events on their calendar are several hikes to be sponsored in co-operation with the WAA, and the Puget Sound cruise, later in the spring. Dr. Paul Grimm, campus school teacher, is faculty adviser, and Loye A. McGee, dean of men, is an ex-officio member of the club. Junk /; lt; The strangest, and undoubtedly the weirdest orchestra % the world, if it ever got together under one roof, would be the one composed of hobbyists who fool around with things musical in their spare time. These hobbyists have been uncovered by Dave Elman, originator of Hobby Lobby. gt; •• In such a hobbyist orchestra . there would be Sidney Lubin of Atlantic City who has made an* organ from an old vacuum cleaner, and automobile inner tube, parts of a broken sink, the keyboard of an old piano and 30 soda bottles. A housewife fashioned ojid tin cans into xylophones. She uses 32 cans of assorted sizes, all of which are tuned to scale. Emil Mattert, a shoemaker, transforms parts of animals into instruments. He has made a bull fiddle out of a real bull's hide, a flute out of a pig's windpipe, and a bugle out of a cow's horn. He also made a sax out of a ordinary dried cornstalk. Another housewife from New Haven has a washboard drum, a sax made from a funnel, a violin from a toaster, and cymbals from cake pans. *•**•• Harvey Mearns, of Larchmont, Pa., has a tubular harp made of steel tubes instead of strings upon which he beats with his hands encased in resined gloves. Another instrument is played by spinning steel discs on a marble-top table. One thing you can't get away from: these musicians are tops at their instruments, for the simple reason that there are no others like them. V • Moonlight Serenade Glenn Miller didn't write his famous "Moonlight Serenade" for a theme song. He confesses instead that the first portion of the tune was an original warm-up exercise he used for getting his chops in sbape... Later he took the melody, completed it, and arranged it. By the time he organized his band the ditty was identified with his name. And Miller is proud, today, that every note in the tune was written and arranged by him alone.

LEGION HEARS HAGGARD TALK ON LINCOLN Dr. W. W. Haggard was the main speaker last Monday evening, when the local American Legion celebrated the anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Before the members of post No. 7, President Haggard answered the rather novel question: "Was Lincoln an Educated Man?" Dr. Haggard proved to his audience that although our sixteenth president had gone to school less "than,a year, he was truly an edu-catedf individual. President Haggard also pointed out that such things as the Gettysburg address, the Douglas debates, and the Freeport Doctrine marked Lincoln as eternally immortal in American history.

Reception line forms at; 8:30. Dancing from 9 to. 12 with music by Chuck Sudduth and his seven-piece orchestra. ' Guests should use west entrance, and WWC students the east entrance. By going to the correct door first, much confusion can be avoided. Punch will be served at three places—inside both entrances, and in the connection hallway. Checkrpqms for coats will be pro-vided-^ one^for the guests, and one for students. Don't forget to bring your ASB ticket as well as your^Prom Pass. No smoking will be allowed anywhere in the building. Coleman Pleads for Student Hobbies So far the only response to Mr. Coleman's plea for student hobbies has been from faculty members. In an attempt to create- student interest in the field of hobbies, the reference librarian has found no student co-opeartion.

Falkland Guff V v Spring Fever V \ gt;Y Oddities Al Biggs ; Confucius, he say, "A team that can't be beat won't be beat." At least we're going to give Confucius the credit for it instead of Shakespeare or someone like that because the old Chinese philosopher is getting credit for a lot of cute little quips now or haven't you heard the latest? We have but Ma won't let us print it. To get back to the subject of our first discourse, that bunch of Vikings who faced the Lutherans on Saturday night was in the right mood for victory and the mere fact that it was the Parkland Pirates, the toughest team in the Winko, made no difference to the hard-driving Vikings. If they carry that attitude and spirit into the games tonight and tomorrow night, one Coach Leo Nicholson will be a sadder and wiser man on Sunday morning. Not only did the local lads trounce PLC but they softened them for the onslaughts of Hotfoot Johnny Katica and the St. Martins Rangers and the Lacey cowboys larruped them on Monday evening. • Next Friday, the Vikings meet CPS in the return engagement of their series. The Vikings really poured it on the Loggers in their first meeting last quarter at the CPS home floor but the Maroon and White have improved vastly since then. They are leading the Northwest league with five victories and one defeat. Coach Lou Grant has been banking highly on his freshmen and sophomores and such men as JVerbiskey, Van Camp, and Mitchell have been coming up to expectations. Better write February 23 down in your book as a must-see of the Week. Seems like spring weather always brings out something; Sometimes it's a desire to cut classes (heavens, does anybody ever do that), sometimes an urge to go swimming. But the biggest nostalgia by far these balmy days is for a baseball team at WWC. It's not a new issue because every spring the same thing has happened. Only this year, prospects seem brighter than ever before. There is to be no team from Bellingham in the W I league and there is so doubt of a City league. Biggest obstacle is the lack of a representative schedule and that's not very; much of an obstacle as obstacles go. CHATTER- . f Proud indeed is Wally Lindsley, Herald sportscribe, who has just become the father of or baby girl, born last Saturday. We are waiting for our cigar. . . . On the other hand, we'd like to extend our sympathy to the Lappenbuschs whose young quarterback, aged 3, burned himself painfully Sunday. . . . Joe Hoard and Art Nortvet of the Chinooks mailed a Valentine to a girl which was OK but they signed Walt Baker's name to it and we'll bet they sit on the bench the next game the Chinooks play. . . . Roy Franko was so exultant at the victory of the Vikings that he phoned all the way from Tacoma to spread the glad tidings to the couples at the informal. . . . Play of Hank Chamberlin in the two PLC games was best displayed by the tall forward in his college career. The lanky lad really fought. . . . Little Joe didn't wear his noseguard and the deadly Moses' eye come back. He really took a beating in the second game as the bigger Lutherans swarmed all over him. . . . Disgusted was Earl Piatt as he scored only two foul shots and fouled out shortly after the game reached half time Saturday night. . . . Bad boys of the league are Don Sor-enson and Harry Lang of CWC and PLC respectively. They are tied with 35 misdemeanors apiece but don't sell Lang short. He's played one less game than has Sorenson. . . . Bernie Westmoreland is the roughster of the Vikings with 26 called against him. . . . Everett high school continues to mop up on all the rest of the state, giving Aberdeen a terrific trouncing. . . . BHS downed Bremerton by a point. . . . What has happened to the Shusskens? Do they still have meets? . . . Natalie Smith made quite a stir in the skiing world this past week-end as she stole the spotlight away from the men.

Just North of the Postoffice Three Weeks Remain In 1940 Mural Bo^Scotes WIC Basketball Ellensburg Wildcats Hold Lead Unchallenged But Must Hurl Back Vikings, Rangers To Win With less than three weeks of time remaining until the curtain drops on the 1939-1940 WIC hoop campaign, the setup shows the Ellensburg Wildcats sole possessors of the Winco league leadership with ten victories against two defeats. The PLC Gladiators, erstwhile co-leaders with the Cats, hit a sour note Saturday night at Tacoma when the WWC Vikings knocked them off their high perch by administering them a 61 to 58 shellacking in an overtime battle. In the series inauguration Friday night, the Glads trampled the visitors 75 to 61, in a game which almost necessitated a double' shift of scorekeepers. Monday night in the Capital City the-Gladiators fell up to their" necks in hot water as they were blasted by a fighting St. Martin five, 44 to 40. The loss to the Rangers bring the Glad's total number of setbacks to four, and any hopes the Luces may have had to capture the Winko flag were .very rudely jolted by the ill-timed loss. Cats Win Two Over in the eastern section .of the state, the Ellensburg Cats took advantage of the PLC defeat, as they handed the lowly Cheney Savages a 43 to 31 beating. The Reese Savages have yet to taste conference victory this year. Central college, with only two defeats registered against them, are polishing their wares for the coming invasion of the Vikings this week-end. If Nick's men happen to stub their toes over the rejuvenated Norse quintet, and the chances stand fairly good that they may, the picture will be thrown into a confused bedlam, with the Vikings right there ringing their share of the bells. • Following this week-end's home stand against the Blue and White cagers, the Wildcats travel to St. Martins to terminate their current season against Ray Paglia's leather dunkers. The Vikings will be the hosts of the EWC Savages on Monday and Tuesday nights following the Wildcat series. After this little excursion, it's . homeward bound for the Vikings, where they will rest up for their final series against Cheney, March 1 and 2. Cats Favored The Central College Wildcats have only to break even in their remaining four games to clinch a tie for first place; while the Lutherans, with three engagements with the Rangers confronting them, must hit the bullseye every time if they hope to vie for a tie with the Cats., The major part of the problem will be solved this week, however, when Ellensburg and PLC both square off against opponents who would like nothing better than to wield the axe to the two top flagpole sitters.

Main topic of the evening was discussion of the W club dance. Date for the dance wiil be April 6; it was decided to be a sport affair. . The pictures of the Homecoming game with Ellensburg were shown, they were enjoyed so much they had to be shown over twice. Vikings Surge To PLC Win Norse Make Comeback After Dropping Opening Engagement To Lutes With an irresistible surge, the Western Washington Vikings whirled out of the ignomnity of the 75-61 trouncing handed them on Friday night and thoroughly paddled the Pacific Lutheran Gladiators into submission Saturday night in the second game of the series, 61-58. Hurried back-checking and hard-driving of the backboard, a rarety on Friday night, won the game for the Vikings Sat. eve, the third overtime game the Norse have had this year. Friday night's engagement was a Kaleidoscope of motion with both teams throwing defense to the four winds and fast breaks the order of the night. The PLC gym is ideal for that type of basketball with a shorter floor than is the rule in the rest of £he conference. Still the Vikings had an early lead which they held most of the first half. Cliff Olson sent in Marv Harshman in the final minutes of the half and the big guard proved the spark which ignited the dormant Lutherans and they swept to a 41-33 lead as the midway point was reached, Harshman had been suffering from an injured ankle and thus did not start the tussle". " Midway through the second half, the Norse made a terrific drive to almost catch the Lutherans, but the Blue and White fell short and the Lutherans pulled away. Far different was the Saturday night game as the happy-go-lucky Vikings refused to acknowledge the Glads superiority and beat them at their own game. At that time the score was 42-32 and the enormous crowd of alumni screamed for their favorites to close the gap. Perhaps inspired by that faith the gold team crawled back courageously until the final sinking of two foul shots tied the score as the final gun sounded. But the Lutherans had-shot their bolt when they tied the score and the Vikings aided and abetted by Hank Chamberlin's three consecutive free throws kept out in front.

EMILY POST (Not a branch of the American Legion.)# ' The only instructions I got when I asked to write this columniiyefe that it must be in English and that it must offend somebody/7 It's offensive enough from a literary standpoint so personalities can be omitted. ' • Excuse me for getting off the subject but'the real issue up for discussion today is reception lines. I have had enough manner moulding to know which soup to fall in and and which teedi to use for the salad course, I can even walk across the room without tripping. But reception lines are my Waterloo. Everyone in a reception line has a personal grudge against me (now don't try to argue me out of it, I know they have) and there is a vicious gleam in their eyes as they grasp my hand (grasp is hardly the word for it) and get set just as if they were going to throw me. You could undoubtedly learn more different grips from going down a recep- - tion line than you could in a seven months* course from any reliable wrestling school. I happen to know that Jiu Jitsu is only a Japanese reception line that got out of hand. It could hardly be classed in the category of "reception lines" after that so they put on tights and called it . jiu jitsu. Another phase of it is the atrocious way your name is twisted. I heard of a man who went insane three-fourths of the way down a fine. They wanted to make a fresh start but he couldn't remember the name he started with to save his neck (which really wasn't worth saving anyhow, it wasn't much of a neck, as necks go). They carried him away, mumbling to himself, at the injustice of modern social standards. A man named Geefer, who really had everything to live for, as he was not married nor had he any intentions of marrying, once started down a reception line in blissful ignorance. One-fourth of the way down his name was Gossem. At the halfway point it was Gratchel. At the finish it was MacTavish. He later committed suicide. I suppose this all sounds like alarmist talk, but I am just in that kind of a mood today. The psychologists probably have everything in hand. I suppose I am just a big scaredy cat. Won't somebody come up to the Collegian office and hold my hand and tell me everything is all right. Please!

Great Musician Willing To Talk; Kind, Serious, Has No Children By SbJrlee Crateenberg What would YOU say, if you stood in the presence of the great Fritz Kriesler? ' He wasn't very tall—his eyes were almost on a level with mine-but somehow, I came away with the feeling I had been looking up at and talking to a giant. His hair was white, and he smiled at me kindly, as if I were All the college students in the world standing there before him. When I was introduced to him, he took my hand in his great paw and gripped it tightly. "Not talk to you? But why should I not talk to you? I ant human, too." His voice was thick, gutteral, and he talked slowly and hesitatingly. ,...... .•_....^ .. Although the program was but a few minutes over, he had on a heavy black overcoat, and was preparing to leave immediately. Be retted his belt, fumbled with his pockets, answered questions shortly, yes, and, well, no. His tour of the Pacific coast has been particularly successful, he said, and yet, what other answer would a man such as he give to an eager young reporter? Of course he likes playing to audiences in a small town such as this; but, he added with a wry little smile, wlnr shouldn't he? - Ajonerican audiences are indeed appreciative, in comparison to European audiences—"Why, yes, even more so," and he added "now" hesitatingly, reflectively, somewhat tentatively. • His guitar—he chuckled a 'lttUevat the mention of it. "I am afraid they make too much of that," he added. "I used to play i t But I haven't, now, for a long, long time." A special delivery letter was handed; to him, and he took it nervously, turning it over in his hands as he talked. He stuck it in his pocket, thought betterpi that, and pulled it out again. His fading eyes were serious, even sad, as he admitted, that he has no children. And then, in a sudden change of mood, gathering up lus thing? ^ and said, "Would :/.;^Jikemei»;,adpp^ '/..»' V VOL XXXVI—NO. 20 Western Washington Col leQe of Education, Bel I ingham, Washington Friday, February 23, 1940 Bond, d To Board Of Co *%.;:• h\ Big Symphony And Werner Pue^ Tuesday Werner, Accomplished Singer, Accompanies U Orchestra; Group Exceptional Musicians Combined orchestras of the University of Washington and Western Washington college will present a joint recital on Tuesday, February 27, at 8:15 p. m. in the Belling-ham high school auditorium.

Shelley, being produced here for the first time on any American stage. The play was written in 1819, and contrary to many people's belief, it was written for the stage, and; not just to read, according to Dr. Arthur C. Hicks, Guild president and WWC English instructor. During its 120-year career this drama has been produced but twice, both times in England. It was staged once in 1886, and again in the 1920's by Sybil Thorndike, famous English actress. According to Dr. Arthur C. Hicks, Guild head, the play presents considerable technical difficulty, a fact which has discouraged its more frequent showing. The Theater Guild has been working for more than three years, on the casting, scenery, and interpretation of the author's philosophy. lt;The Cenci" is hailed toy vinany critics as, "The greatest English tragedy since Shakespeare." Charles' Swinburne, poet, names it, "The greatest tragedy written in any language in two centuries." Faculty Broadcasts Speaking. on "Words and Their Ways," Dr. M. F.

No matter what the views of the average collegian may be on the subject of economy in the federal government, almost without exception he is not in favor of reducing financial aid for his fellow-student as has been maintained by the National Youth Administration. Collegiate editorialists are thumping loudly and strongly against.NYA fund reductions now being considered by the national Congress, and here is a summary of their reasons for.their stand. • Cut Out Guns, Not Students "America's best defense/' says the Temple University News, "will always be found in the existence of happy, busy young people, preparing themselves in the nation's colleges for a useful future marked by peace and security. Economic discontent is the factor most likely to invite war. If the budget is to be cut, the place for it is in the arms increase proposals, not the comparatively small NYA allotments. NYA is an effective agency for keeping students in college, where it is more customary to carry textbooks than it is to carry guns." Enhance a Democratic Spirit Said the Colgate University Maroon: "For the past few years, the NYA has done a real service to American youth in making possible jobs of various sorts on the campi of American colleges and universities. Not only has such aid succeeded in giving many worthy students a college education but has relieved the employment situation by taking off the employment market numbers of young Americans who would otherwise have been competing for jobs. The work of the NYA has enhanced the democratic spirit of American colleges by giving men a chance to work their way through school, a thing quite impossible in some of our more aristocratic or totalitarian states." Slash Would Be "Small Fry/ / « The University of Oregon Daily Emerald plugs for retention of the NYA funds with these words: "The amount cut from the NYA appropriation, if it is cut, will be but a drop in the bucket, and will be one of the most inclusive parts of the budgetary program. What Congress will be deciding is whether to dabble in developing an increased number of college trained people to face future problems generated in the present. It would be difficult to overstock the more highly educated field, which always needs more numbers. In view of this final consideration, it would seem that higher education is a good investment, and that political considerations should be secondary to potential value." All Working Students Affected 'This threatened cut is a matter for all students who work for part of their expenses, because if this reduction goes through, the men now holding college jobs will have to share them with the new unemployed. And the college will have to make an attempt in its budget to provide more help for -worthy students. We urge you to write your representative at once about this matter," wrote the Randolph-Macon College Yellow Jacket. • Little Help Will Be Repaid "The fact alone that the hpnor point average of NYA students is above the average of the school indicates that a little financial assistance for students from lower income groups will repay the community in future leadership and employment security," the University of Minnesota Daily maintains. Kill Less, Educate More Summing up the argument of all collegians, the Mills College Weekly says: "A penny saved in the production of war machines would certainly.pay more than.a dollar in dividends if invested in the education of some brilliant students." —Associated Collegiate Press. IfaAik W Red- headed, blue-eyed and reserved, Dale Courtney is considered the epitome of conservatism by his cronies. They had even gone so far. as to nickname him "Ogg" after one of the arch-conservatives of the ' country, Ogden Mills. Being tagged as conservative amuses bale, but he emphasized that any resemblance, political or otherwise, to his namesake is purely coincidental. Dale's hobby is loud socks. "Do I weaF theni?" he repeated* "Very seldom—but .\I like them, anyway." Ahbther evidence of his conserva-, tisrij s coming to the forefront. Though loud socks and noisy ties usually go toother, they don't to bale. "Definitely not," he interjected, "No loud ties!" This week-end he is being sent as a delegate to a convention at Eugene, Oregon, by the International Relations club, in which he has been active for three years. Dale's activities at WWC have been many and varied. Last year he guided the affairs of the junior class; was a member of the Board of Control; belonged to the Interclub Council, and was an active Norseman. "Baked onions!" Dale expostulated when asked what he hated most in life. And next to the odoriferous vegetable, bale's pet peeve is poorly ventilated dance halls. Maybe there's a reason. Grease - paint, footlights and Shakespeare are alluring to Dale. He has appeared in two of.Victor Hoppe's productions, "Hamlet," and "Julius Caesar," and he expressed a great interest in dramatics. An advocate of progressive education as opposed to traditional education, Dale will defend his theories in any informal discussion. In fact he (thrives on informal dis- . cussions. Stated the Kitchen Krew dish-washer, "the more informal the discussion, the better. We discuss everything from politics to educational theories." Chosen as one of the: six outstanding students at WWC this year to represent WWC in the college Who's Who, Dale has definite theories on school life. When asked to give one of his favorite doctrines, he stated, "I'm an advocater of summer school. No student who is going to teach has his education completed until he has attended a summer school and come in contact with those already in the teaching field." Four Point Kaufman If you know where Riverside, Washington, is, you know where Lela Kaufman is in the habit of hanging her hat, come vacation time. There was nothing unusual about Lela's high school -career, except that she was valedictorian of her class, which in a group of eleven students is quite a feat. She has to admit that WWC is a long way from home for going to school, but there were relatives here, and you know what that means. Besides, "Bellingham is a nice place to be," says Lela. Every good citizen who attends assemblies knows who Lela Kaufman is; she's the blue-eyed, light brown haired, short, and. smiling young diplomat from the AWS who tells the boys how nice corsages are, especially if worn to informals. When this very prominent young lady isn't sleeping, which, incidentally, is her favorite indoor and outdoor sport, she reads, talks, hikes, and she tells us on the q. t. that she plays a "pretty mean hand of poker; Her work in and around school is varied and is tackled in huge quantities. Besides her Publications Board and Board of Control work, she is president of the ACE, Alki-siah vice president, chairman of Room Service at Edens hall, is on the AWS commission, and is an active member of the International Relations club. She also finds time to write for both | h e Collegian- and the Klipsun, and work in the Bureau of Research. Even her 3.7 grade point average, however, won't allow her to do everything, so she was forced to give up her work with the YWCA and WAA. As she puts it, "You can't do' everything at once." The Campus school received the benefits of her presence last quarter when she did her student teachl ing in the primary division; and when she retires from her prospective career of teacher and (or) cartoonist, she wants, the wide open spaces of a nice big*cattle ranch. : ; ' ; -; —Courtesy Herald Members of the newly-formed string ensemble which is directed by Donald Bushell of the college music department are: Lesley Hampton, viola; Shirley Hatfield, violin; Marie Armstrong, viola; Marian Peters, ---------- WWCollegian - 1940 February 23 - Page 3 ---------- fc'JifSf't SSE y-rfrjJS^^ Western Washington College o f Education, Bellingham, Washington ;m Wmmmms f rrdnglc Ga!s gt;l6ar Publications' Prom Princess Graduates vof Western Washington college in 1938, Mr. and Mrs, Alfred Brandt were married recently.

Featuring the h'nest in School Jewelry Headquarters for ART SUPPLIES DRAWING INSTRUMENTS In fact anything for WWC students UNION PRINTING CO. Just North of the Postoffice Finally the time has come for following up those rumors regarding the interesting things done in the industrial arts department by the junior high children and their instructors. HL C. Ruckmick, industrial arts instructor, explained that these children do their shop work with a purpose. It is not something apart from their regular school life, but an answer to meeds that arise in their room. For example, four girls and one boy in the eighth grade are making furniture to make the reading corner in their room more homelike. Under Arnold Miller, student teacher, they have made two long benches to serve as window seats. As soon as these are finished, they will make matching drapes and cushions in the domestic science room. Skiing Project Several children are making first class skis from local maple and birch. Some who started their skis last quarter are nearly finished. One girl has an interesting project of repairing an old violin she found in her attic. Because it was falling to pieces, she took it. all apart and glued it together again. When she takes it down town to have the sound-post set by a violin-maker, she will have the unusual opportunity of seeing violins made. Use of Camera Taught Photography occupies the attention of the ninth grade and their student teacher, Helen Klumb. They are learning to use the camera more accurately. The average amateur is not master of his camera; ' t h e mechanism gets in his way. As with any tool, he should know its limitations and possibilities and should not attempt to take pictures in wrong lighting. Life Assignments To add even greater interest the members of the class are given journalistic assignment in which they tell stories with pictures fn the manner of Life. Some of their studies have been a machine saw and its shavings, a basket of eggs, and the follow-up of local industry. . ..- They Do Own Work ^ The children do their own developing. They are making enlargements and prints in preparations for the spring exhibit in April or May, when they will have a showing of their mounted studio prints.- Last year they had a professional-looking exhibit in the Blue room in Edens hall, which created much favorable comment. _ - "OUR CHEF WHO.

Sad Nick v y Memories V V Hit and Miss I Vikings Break Even On Trip \AI Biggs We are willing to venture a small wager that a chap named Nicholson was indeed snatching great clusters of hair*from• his noil when the.Vikings, with enthusiasm and gusto, planked a large foot down on-the fellow's championship aspirations. Mr. Nicholson will soon begin to mfer that this college takes an unholy delight in blighting his hopes for a basketball championship. And he may be right because when the same thing happens for three straight years, it does not look much like an accident. _ When consoling Mr. Cliff Olson, Mr. Joe Moses of the brothers Moses, after aiding and abetting the Vikings to drub the charges of Mr. Olson in Tacoma a week ago Saturday, had this to say, in words fraught with import, "We will take eate o f Nick for you, Cliff. ' . , We will excuse Mr. Moses familiarity with Mr. Olson, as they are friends of long standing. But, the main point is, Mr. Moses* word is as good as his bond; banks will issue mohejr on Jt, the treasury department recognizes it, and it is stated that Mr. Nicholson has come to the conclusion, albeit forced, that the Moses promise is valid and irrevocable. 7 By a circuitous method of information, one of those "my brother heard that Pete was told by a third cousin of the grounds-keeper's uncle by marriage" affairs, we garnered drops of knowledge that it has been eleven long years since the Vikings have twisted the Wildcats tail on the Ellensburg home floor. Eleven years is quite a distance if placed end to end with a space in between to allow for expansion by the sun. And conversely as the theorem is, when the Norse lost to Cheney Monday and Tuesday nights it Was merely a recurrence of the Cheney jinx, that intangible something which strikes the Vikings around the Grand Coulee and hangs around like poor relations^ until the Bellingham team comes back across Snoqualmie Pass. %Twas back in 1929, when last the Blue and White nailed the Savages east of the hump. Ray Odell led the Vikings to a 36-24 win on the 29th of January, the game played during the coldest days of the year. Came October 29th of that year 1929 and with it another big crash, the stock market. $TW^ikmg athletic teams have been in a Savage depression-tier since then. Back along about the same time, there was onljtjbhe woman on the Board, of Control and the favorite gag was, "At last the men rule the school, with consent of the women." An assembly lasted an hour and a half and the freshmen elected a queen of festivity to reign at the Valentine party on February 15. Cubs Were given their traditional beating at the print shop of Miller Sutherlen and the Klipsun Was crying for snapshots. Truly stated is that old adage, "History repeats." Dr. Grim has just informed this corner that we lost our second straight to the pesky Savages and can you imagine that? How a team can rise to the heights one day and delve into the depths the next is beyond most comprehension. Sometimes that's the way things happen, though, and there is nothing to be done about it. What we like to remember is the twin trouncing we handed Nicholson's Kitties. That did our heart good. Those Cheney losses can be written off the books right here and now. They were losses, true, but nothing for the Vikings to be ashamed of. Under the circumstances, we wonder how they had the fire and drive to even come close to the Savages. Souped out by the Effort of beating Ellensburg, depressed over Joe's misfortune, and playing in the rarified air of eastern Washington they deserve a lot of support in the game tonight. Incidentally, the game tonight is a r.eal charity with all receipts going to the infantile paralysis foundation. Only thing deducted is federal and state tax. That is a fine gesture of Coach Lappenbusch and we feel that everybody should turn out and urge our team on to victory over CPS. Any way you look at it, it looks like Sigurdson is going to establish a WIC scoring record this year. Cant miss because all he has to do is beat out teammate Marv Harshman and he has it cinched. His mark will probably be over 200 and this does compare very well with Wally Palmbefg's Northern division of the PCC mark of 187. And while We're on that subject, a couple of other Seattle high school graduates are doing pretty well by themselves. Bobby Lindh of the Huskies and Frankie Watson of Conzaga have been bucketing counters right and left*and have impressive totals, Watson, ex-O'Dea athlete, having averaged almost 16 points a game, and Lindh, ex-West Seattle boy, leading the PCC. Bellingham has put in a bid for admission to the Northwest league and mqybe this city will have baseball this summer after all. . . . Vaughn Weber's campus school basketball team is really rolling along. . . . Clarence Soukup, ex-Collegian editor, is doing a bit of coaching out at Avon and me report is that he did OK. That is fine, but where is Avon? . . . Everett, Fife, Kelso, and Olympia look to be the strong teams in the State High School Meet at Seattle but some little team from nowhere in particular will probably kick over the traces and bag the championship. . . . When the Pippa Gammas were faced with the dilemma of having only three men and with five men to check, in their game with the Tomcats the other night, they solved their problem in a novel way. They ignored John Dorcy altogether and the Tomcat manager went on a scoring spree and grabbed off the gargantuan total of twelve points. . . . Johnny Esvelt of the Cheney Journal has done it again and nicked me for two thin dimes. We still have a chance to recoup our lost fortune when the Savages play here on March 1 and 2. . . . Hotfoot Johnny Kotica is now third in the scoring and it's too bad he played so few games. Anything we say is bound to be superfluous and inane, but anyway we're awfully sorry, Little Joe. Hard luck took its second kick at the little fellow when his father's death called him home from Cheney. This following so closely the death of his brother was a big jolt for little Joe, So to Joe and Ed Moses, the deepest sympathies and condolences of the Collegian and the whole school.

That's just the way things happened when the Norse made their recent excursion into the far eastern section of the state last week-end. Friday and Saturday nights on the Central college's maple court the Vikings proceeded to wallop the league-leading Ellensburg Cats, 30 to 26 and 34 to 30, to leave the once high-flying Wildcats still clinging to their championship inspirations but nevertheless, severely shaken from the Viking onslaught. Then on Monday and Tuesday following the Ellensburg series, the Norse had their victory march halted abruptly by the Cheney Savages, when the heretofore non^victorious five arose from the depths of oblivion to smote the rampaging Western college lads twice—48 to 45, and 47-41. The losers were handicapped in one game by the absence of Joe Moses, who was unexpectedly called home after Saturday's game. Cats Upset Friday night the Vikings really gummed things up in a big way when they set the mighty Wildcats on their respective ears, and things began, to look as if the Vikings might yet have their chance to get their fingers in the pie. After Saturday's game, which saw the Norse pin the fourth loss on the Cats this year, the standings underwent a major operation as the PLC Gladiators again drew level with the Cats when they downed St. Martins over the week-end In the second of the Ellensburg series, it was Moses who carried the torch of victory for the invading Vikings. The little Castle Rock demon bucketed 13 points to lead the field. Cheney Wins Two Far different was the tale Monday and Tuesday, however, as the Savages knocked the ladder from under the climbing Norse to send them tumbling back to earth. It was a sad story PPPPP

She came and found me nestled on my bed oj gunny:'sacks in the corner of my one-room . . . . . . - _ . . . , hovel. Accusing me of having a temperature of 10\, the lady in white advised my inevitable removal to the infirmary. I felt very differently about the whole matter and even threatened her at the point of my Wooden leg. Eul because I was against such terrific odds (one dg lt;amsl one), / fiinally gave in—on one. condition. I insisted We play hopscotch all the way over. Having an insane desire for the game herself, she thoroughly consented and we had just a grand afternoon! My arrival Was uneventful. Three henchmen nabbed the the minute J stepped in the door, ignoring my repeated appeals of innocence of any misdoings. Hurling me on the bed, they strapped me down securely and jammed a glass gadget in my mouth; Un-, der such treatment I could do but one thing—nothing! I serenely awaited further action. When the nurse came in and looked at the gadget she yelled, "103, up two points!" With my eye open for business and my mouth open for doc, I bell^wM,"Buyr me ten shares." This, too,.they ignored,*or else they jus^aidnt Want ot se7Jme ten shares. Instead they began looking for symptoms. Tearing my clothes to shreds (/ had them for breakfast the next mornnig), they scanned my frail little body for any indication of epilepsy or alcoholic psychosis. Tearing off arms at wilt seemed like a daily occurrence to them, and removing one's toupee Was apparently no inconvenience at all. Like the Mountie gets his man, they had to get their symptom. The nurse, probing the innermost part of my ear, suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Look, I found one of the little devils. Cute, ain't he?" Cuddling it fondly, she took my little pet to some strange destiny. I haven t seen the little tot since. Space doesn't permit enlargement of this part of the narration but symptom Til tell you more about it. Suffice it to say that the infirmary is a good, place to rest. Two things which they have in abundance are time and pills. The time is to kill, and sometimes I think that must be the purpose of the pills!

Under the direction of Victor H. Hoppe, head of the WWC department of drama, "Our Town" made its debut in Bel-lingham with an attentive audience and a splendid performance. Laurels to Gordon Morton in the role of the stage manager; he acted in various roles but always remained natural and calm, a versatile actor; to Paul Glenn as George Gibbs, for his was an outstanding performance; also to Doris Stevenson as Mrs. Webb, who was a typical calm, deliberate motherland Carolyn Kuhn in her role as Emily Webb, for hers was the part that brought tears to the audience. In the first act the audience was amused and surprised when the woman in the balcony and the man in the auditorium asked Editor Webb some questions. Mr. Webb, incidentally, spoke too fast The play closed last night. Combined Orchestras Of Colleges Present Novel Symphony Concert By Arthur C. Hicks The novel program of the Western Washington college orchestra and the University Symphony orchestra played Tuesday evening in the Bellingham high school auditorium was greatly enjoyed by a large audience. .... The first part of the concert was in the skilled hands of the visiting orchestra directed by George C. Kirchner. i The Rossini Overture to "Semiramide," the Liszt Symphonic poem, "Lfes Preludes," and the "Festival at Bagdad" from the Scheherezade Suite of Rimsky-Korsakoff were in themselves consistently musical and interesting and were played with a fine sense of tonal balance and ensemble effect. For encore the orchestra responded Willi the piquant "Rhapsody in Rumba." The University Symphony also provided the accompaniment for three operatic arias, Handel's "Ch'io Mai Vi Fossa" from Sh-de* Mozart's "Deh Vieni Alia Finestra" from Don Giovanni, and Wagner's "Evening Star" from Tannhaeuser, sung by August Werner in a robust but very musical baritone with taste,and feeling. The most ambitious portion of the concert was the Borodine Symphony No. H in B Minor, played by the combined orchestras under the baton of Donald Bushell. The two orchestras together numbering about 115 musicians, produced a richly sonorous effect. Thei Symphonyis awild, passionate wort in four strongly contrasted movements and makes severe technical, rhythmical and interpretative demands upon conductor and orchestra. Mr. Bushell had both the music and the! players under complete control and gave.a beautifully.plastic and dynamic interpretation of the whole work.

Collegian editor. The financial report was accepted and it was requested that a written account of the dance be made out for the Board of Control files for ready reference in the event of another such ^ dance being given. Jim Junkin, serving his second quarter on the Board, was appointed social chairman to replace John Ellis, whose term is expiring. Supervision 6f rec hours is the duty of that chairman." In.order that the same faculty members will not be asked to sponsor every rec hour, a list will be posted which will give the date when each one is scheduled to be a sponsor. Harold Booth, newly-elected to the Board, was appointed to investigate the possibility of a sum being paid the Bellingham Theater Guild to allow free admittance of college students to its productions. A plan was submitted by Dr. Hicks, Guild president, and this will be used as a basis for the study. Since it was pointed out that there has been no fire drill for some time, it was decided that rules for exit should be posted and that a drill should be held in the near future, of Control. Friday, March 8, was announced by Jean Christopher as being the date for the Board of Control quarterly banquet. It will be held at the Leopold- "hotel. " .• Memorial Idea Formulated In consecration to those who lost" their lives on the slopes of Mount Baker last summer, a rock and landscape outdoor room with trees and shrubbery enclosing an open grassy space, has been tentatively selected as a memorial by the Mount Baker Memorial committee after four months deliberation. Plans for the area are being drawn up by J. P. Jones of the Bebb and Jones Architectural firm in Seattle. They include a central area which will contain a construction of sculptured basalt rocks with evergreen' trees and alpine plants as a background. Selection of a definite place and area on the campus for the memorial awaits the approval of President Haggard. Members of the committee planning the memorial were Genevieve Strain, Ray Bright, Chet Ullin, John Engebretsen, Rolf Jensen, Frank Anderson, Jim Junkin, Herbert Ruckmick, Miss Hazel Plympton, and Dr. W. W. Haggard. Editor Wanteds At a meeting of the Board of Publications held last Monday in room 204* a call was issued for applications for editor of a hew book to take the place of the three books now in use—rBlue Book, Openers, Self Starter and.

Representatives from i.Montana, Idaho, Oregon^-Washington, and British .Columbia comprising a group of 135 delegates from 23 colleges and universities were present. The conference consisted of a series of round table discussions upon such subjects as the following: "The System of Future World Security," "American Foreign Policy, Isolation, Neutrality or Cooperation," "Peace in the Western Hem- . isphere," "The Far East and the World War," "Democracy, Can It Survive?" : Also on the program were two prominent speakers, Dr. G. Bernard Noble of Reeds college in Portland, and Professor Andre Philip of the University of Lyons, France, who is also a member of the Chamber of Deputies of that country. The delegates will give a detailed report at the meeting next Thursday night of the International Relations club, which is to be held in the Edens Hall Club room. Anyone interested is invited and refreshments will be served.

BURNET. ..Adviser Ooin rtie "The Cenci," Can We See .It, Board? One of the most feasible plans in a long time has come be-for the attention of the Board of Control. Dr. Arthur C. Hicks, enterprising Guild head, has offered a Ipan to the ruling body whereby the college may purchase an entire performance of the American premiere of Percy Bysshe Shelley's tragic 'The Cenci" and enable students to see such a performance free of individual charge. • The cost of such a performance or even several such performances would fall well within the range ordinarily paid for a worthy assembly program. The cultural value as well as the entertainment value of "The Cenci" is almost beyond evaluation. Here then is a possibility that well might gain every student's support. Produced only twice before on the continent and never portrayed in America, "The Cenci," one of the local guild's most ambitious productions and one of their most worthwhile contributions to Northwest and American drama, opens to theater-goers March 6. Western Washington college students may have the privilege of witnessing "The Cenci" without charge. Will they get the chance? Rec Hour Poll Reveals Many Views; Even Anti-Socialistic With the Board of Control's concerted effort to bring the guest situation at rec hours to a sensible concrete level uncomplete one: "Rec Hours." doubtedly one of the most pertinent questions at hand is the Those Who Never Go, Speak A standout in this week's Collegian poll on rec hours is the attitude of those students who "never" go to evening dances, either informals or class parties. In the majority they stand for abolition of all such social functions. As one interviewer stated, "Dances are frivolous. Students come to college to study. Why don't they study?" Having never enjoyed an evening of dancing in a "frivolous" college atmosphere they undoubtedly can easily cling to such antiquated ideas. One of the most important attributes of a college education is social orientation. This can never be achieved by abolitionists who remain at home when they might be clicking heels. Moaning From The Female Fence Frequent moaning is apparent from the female side of the fence, who chide the men tor stag formation. "Do something to break up the stags," they plead. "We like to dance at rec hours, not stand around." It is readily agreed on the first count that a stag line is detrimental. Sophomores solved the problem in a mild way when they placed barriers behind which the bashful boys were herded. Such precautions can easily be retained in future affairs. Talk To Yourselves, Girls The moan about wanting to dance and not stand around should be a case of the girls talking to themselves. Aside from the few fellows who come to rec hours merely to meet the boys and chat (and some, oddly enough, do) the majority of the boys do not relish standing around "thumb twiddling." But the morose glare of the female stag is almost too much to be weathered at times by the fellow who wants to dance. A little more of this air of friendliness and informality of those * who really dance would lure more of those cautious males to the "spangled maple." Guest Ticket Still Sore Spot Still a sore spot though somewhat ameliorated by the board's recent action is the guest ticket line-up. Many of the Collegian-polled viewpoints expressed regret that alumni are charged for attendance at dances of the "old school." One student stated. "The alums have poured enough coin in the college coffers, let them enjoy some returns." It might be pointed out though not argumentatively that those alums realized pretty fair returns on their "coin." They were priv-eleged to attend recs and parties and dramas and games and lectures and concerts for their allotted amount of expense. After a student finishes three or four full years at the college and then leaves for the world to return later to visit and hob-nob he wants courtesy when he comes back. And he deserves i t . ' This Issue Is One of Courtesy The issue is purely one of courtesy and not one of finance. The present bounty on guest passes is made in one instance to lessen the number of tickets that are issued to students be-cque they "might" have a guest. Under previous set-ups free tickets were issued to such claimants and those \who really desired and needed the passes went without. Then {why must alumni be classed with outsiders and charged tariff with the stronners The Doint of those who regret such charges can well be taken up by the board in future guest ticket action.

Tunnel Romance Near Fatality By Ralph Simonds It seems that among the othei' novel creatures swarming about WWC we have a couple that might be dubbed, "tunnel lovers" or "why take the long way when the shorter is darker.'' Let me elucidate. It was on last Thursday's mixed hike to the rocks, on the return trip, William "Curley" Welgel and Geneva Jeffers, despite the shrieks and tearing of hair and warnings of their companions, decided to return via' the tunnel. When they were halfway through, seven tons of thundering steel (a train to you) made its appearance and since it was going approximately sixty miles an hour it kept on coming. Strong as he is, Curley knew he couldn't do a "Superman" and stop the train by mrute force. He did the gentlemanly thing and threw himself in the ditch at the side of the track and invited Miss Jeffers to do the same. She did. After the train had passed, out came the couple looking as if they were blacked up for a minstrel show. People who were there, say they will swear on a stack of telephone books that Curly burrowed three inches in solid cement where he lay down. The girl, who naturally isn't as strong, excavated to a depth of one and three quarters inches.

Jivin' Lunsford College Profs Aid Program By Leroy Holcomb STUDENT OPINION Current reports that swing music has lost first place among dancers are substantially correct, at least among college students. They have voted a preference for "sweet" tunes by a two-to-one majority in a nation- wide poll of American campuses. "Which do you like best, swing music, or the so-called sweet music?" was the question presented to a representative sampling of collegians by the Student Opinion Surveys of America. From the answers they gave, it is evident that jitterbug music, which took the country over last year, is definitely out, for the time being, anyway. Only 32 per cent declared they preferred swing, while 66 per cent said "sweet" music like that of the Lombardos and the Kings was their favorite. A small group of 2 per cent said, "Neither." V . GOODMAN Benny Goodman, floored by an acute attack of sciatica, following a cne-nighter at Worcester, Mass., is back with his band and heading toward Chicago on a theater tour. Ziggy Elman fronted the band while Benny was absent. Sciatica has been troubling Benny the last three months, but he claims it is "nothing serious." I wonder if Goodman will end up like Shaw did, quitting the dance band business. V AD LIBBING Hal Kemp, slow-talking Southern maestro, wields the fastest baton in the business. . . . Mildred Bailey began her musical career as a pianist in a Spokane music store at $10 ' a week. . . . Well, you have heard the last of "Young Man with a Band," the radio program heard Friday nights on CBS since September 28. The programs were to boost record sales of Columbia's discs. It was good while it lasted, but they say that's all for the present. Jimmie Lunsford, composer of "Well Alright," "Tain't What You Do, It's T^ie Way That You Do It" and other well-known hits, is slated to set local dance lovers in ecstacy March 19 with his famous band of top-flight musicians. Lunsford's recordings have set sales records in the jive disc fields and the dusky band leader has played more college proms and the like than any other living band leader. Jay Curtis, popular local maestro and importer of big time name bands, is sponsoring Lunsford's March 19 show at the Armory.

Everett To Meet Bellingham High In Northwest District Final It will be Everett Sea Gulls vs. Bellingham Red Raiders this Saturday night in.the Northwest Washington district high school basketball tournament championship finals at Snohomish, with Blaine, Mt. Baker, Snohomish, and Marysville still fighting for third spot honors and the right to be the third team to enter the state tournament from this district. ,Evere6t and Bellingham are already assured of a place in the state tournament in Seattle late this month. Last year Bellingham pulled the tournament upset by beating Everett in the district Hnals, -thus the Gulls are preparing a rousing reception for the Raiders in a.battle with a CrossTState conference flavor. Last night in the semi-finals Bellingham defeated Mt. Baker 57 to 43.; Everett dumped Blaine 54 to 23. Marysville ushered out Sedro-Woolley under a 65 to 27 onslaught. • - • ions THE FRIENDLY Star Drug Co, Phone 224—State and Holly "OUR REPAIRING HAS A REPUTATION." TRY US. PAUL MUELLER',- I N C .

The Viks in their firs^ home appearance in a month showed a superb type of basketball in the first half, running the score to 28 to 10 at intermission after a slow start. . In the second half the Loggers gave a better account of themselves but succeeded only in outscoring the Viks by three points in the-' last canto. The. victory for the Viks was t he second over the Loggers this season, the first score being 50 to 00 for the Norse. Since then the Loggers have proceeded to capture league leadership of the Northwest conference. Vaughn, Westmoreland, and Chamberlin led the Vikings in scoring, the first two gathering 10 points apiece and Hank had 12 counters. Norm Walker, CPS freshman and last years' all-state center took high honors for the evening in scoring 15 points. GLADS, WILDCATS HEAD WIC W. X. PtsF. PtsA. Pet.

The White Mice had been beaten only once in league play and were' favored to capture the final series, but with Schweinbruger and Webster, unable to play, the sharp-shooting Chinooks found little difficulty in outscoring the rodents. The first game was 30-16, whereas the outcome of the second contest was 31-22. High scorers of the two games were Hoard and Peterson, both of the Chinooks, who nicked the twine for 14 points each.

' lt; ' Of course, they don t deserve, it. All they did during the season Was to almost scupper the high and mighty Huskies of the University, give the leaders of the Northwest conference. CPS, a pair of\ terrible shellackings, hang two shiners on Nicholson's Wildcats, and give PLC a good headache among i other things. True, they never quit once or dogged it when, they were being beat but that's nothing. They probably don t deserve walking that,terrible distance!to the gym'. "Those games probably Won s be too interesting tonight. All the bikings have is little Joe Moses, who has recovered his miraculous shooting eye; Hank Chamberlin, who is playing the best basketball of his life; rugged Bernie Westmoreland; Little John Pettyjohn, he of the bobbing run; Norm Dahl, one of the best dribblers in the conference; tall John Vaughn; Boots Harris; ^enormous Glen Smith; young Bud Dodd; Johnny Bond, among others-. . Besides that the Vikings have a burning deisre for revenge on the Savages who doomed them twice in the Inland Empire city. But that doesn't make any difference to us cynical people, does it? We are too dignified to get out and yell for tjie Savages' scalp, preferably dripping with blood. Yes indeed, it Wouldn't befit future teachers to turn out at least 4 50 strong for a mere basketball game or two, even if it is a conference game, the last game of the season, and with our traditional rivals with whom We have a score or pair of scores to settle.

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.

Artie Shaw is back in the field again rehearsing a local band in Los | Angeles and preparing to continue making records where he left off last November, when he suddenly ducked out and went to Mex- , ico for a rest. Shaw will cut a "raft of sides" for the Bluebird label the first week of March. In the waxings will be a number of. Mexican tunes he found while south of the border, and which will be issued under Shaw's name in strict jazz tempo. Artie, meanwhile, is working .with RKO studio chiefs on a new movie, the script of which is being written by Shaw. He won't be in the picture.

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.

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.

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.

UNCLE SAM'S BURDEN • • ' -People like Maggie Rabbshould be subjected to untold agonies or •bnfined to a prison rock pile! Let us explain. Maggie sent a postcard to her girl friend the other day and -forgot to write anything on it but the address.' Now, it's a fine state of affairs when people can do those things with/a clear conscience as she did. She gave not a thought to the poor overburdened postman. The poor,, fellow probably staggered around all day under the unnecessary burden placed in him by Maggie. The weight of one postcard can often be the difference between a nervous break- ;dowh and an acute case of beriberi. Shame, Maggie! . LOCAL INJUSTICE ; There's something very irregular going on here on our cam-ipus. It's actually criminal the way.that two-wheeled monstrosity has been dragging that poor man around the trimly cut grounds. Have you seen it? Almost any sunny afternoon this hideous mechanical creature can be seen relentlessly haaling this poor fellow back and forth over.the lawn and all the time throwing grass in his face. We think that if six or seven of us gang up; we could mob it and rid the campus forever of this horrific monster. Anyone interested in forming a posse is urged to contact us, and we shall make plans for its destruction. VOL xxxvi—NO; 23 ^Sfe^A/tehihgton. College of EducQtion;;Beilinqham gt; Washington Friday, March 15, 19)40 Ruth Bryan Owen at She Wants! Gets By Lois Hilby .''Til be in Congress some day," said a determined 5-year-old girl to her father, William Jennings Bryan, as she sat in a session of Congress with him. From the time she was 5 years old till she was 9, Ruth Bryan Owen went to Congress with her famous father. With him she sat next to Congressman Tucker of Virginia. Strange as it may seem, he was still in Congress when she grew up and again she sat by him. "I can remember as plain as if it were yesterday, going to the Honse with my father," Mrs. Owen said, her gray eyes twinkling, a friendly smile on her face. "It's true that I campaigned for my father in his race for the presidency of the United States and that I Made a few campaign speeches during that time, but it's a bit stretched to say that that was the beginning of my speaking or. pontical career." N« Time For Bridge . When asked if she thought politics interfered with a woman raising her family, she replied in her deep, clear voice. "It is a matter of how one spends one's time. Of course there's no time for things like bridge when you're dividing your time between family and business. I feel that I have not neglected my four chjdren." One of her children is married and at the age of 52, Mrs. Owen is the grandmother of three. Not only did she take three of her four children to Denmark with her, but she also took three grandchildren and three of their friends. Her Children Like Denmark "The children had a glorious time during our stay in Denmark. It was they who made me do the correct thing the night of our arrival. I had promised to take them to the gardens that night but my furniture arrived just before I got there and by the time I had straightened out all that furniture, I was in no mood to go to the gardens. They begged, so I gave in because I just couldn't disappoint them. The next day I received a lovely letter and a season's pass for; all of us to the gardens from the manager, saying how happy he was to see that,I was taking such an interest in their typical Scandinavian customs." Mrs. Owen was in Denmark for four years as the American minister to Denmark. In private life she is Mrs. Boerge Rohde; she was married to Danish Captain Rohde in 1936. She has written several books, worked in a war hospital, nursed three years in Egyj gt;t and Palestine, and as Florida's congresswoman, American minister to Denmark, first American woman to hold a ministerial post, is one of the best liked American diplomats. Mrs. Owen is a womanly woman in a man's world. She is tall and commanding, but has plenty of feminine charm along with intelligence beneath her perfectly coiffed gray hair. Gifted /Catherine 'Beatrice/ Bowden Plans Further Theatrical Work By Eric Phillips and Bill Hatch Flashing a big smile and perfectly willing to answer questions was Katharine Bowden, the charming young lady who gave so fine a portrayal of Beatrice in "The CencL" .Miss Bowden is a- Bellingham girl, a former WWC student, now earning her keep in New York City. Very soon now she expects to be back selling books, for that is what she does at Macy's department store, and back to contacting theatrical people, for "dramatics," she says, "is what I really want to specialize in." May Join Road Company During her off-work hours she attends Miss Theodora Irvine's school of dramatics where she has done'many scenes with Jean Cadell, the English actress. When asked about her future plans Miss Bowden was quite enthusiastic over the prospect of joining a traveling stage troupe directed by Helen Morgan, who has been written up in the current issue of the American Magazine in its "Interesting People" feature. Stooge her first appearance in "Mary,Mary, Quite Contrary," . presented by the Guild several seasons ago, she has been ;in many productions, says Miss Bowden. In New York she has appeared in "Pride and Prejudice," "Stage Door," "West Side Players," "Spring Dance," and "Sun-Up" as well as others at Washington state college. Overjoyed at Opportunity When asked how she felt at playing the lead in the American premiere of so famous a play, Miss Bowden waxed eloquent. "Beautiful, wonderful, grand!" hardly served to put her feeling across. "It was such a wonderful opportunity. I am so glad I was home at the time the cast was chosen." Thus Miss Bowden summed up her reaction. The date of her next trip West problematical in her own mind, but her. maternal parent has very definite ideas on the subject and has set a motherly limit of six months. Be all this as it may, Miss Bqwdeh is looking forward expectantly to her continued theatrical work. ; ; ; " 'Our Town' Slated far M^ N # - - - - Because of the popular, reception given the play "Our Town," tentative A {"If)!")

Woodring Blood Test Betrays Crafty Criminals Speaking last Tuesday night on "The Use of the Lie,Detector in Solving Crimes," Dr. Paul Wood-ring, of the psychology department, was the fourth faculty member to speak on the new series of programs, "Well, I Didn't Know That." Dr. Woodring told of the use of blood pressure tests, the results of which indicate the degree of emotion aroused when vital questions' concerning a crime were asked of a suspect. He also cited several cases in which this process proved successful. These programs, which consist of informal talks with faculty members of WWC concerning sidelights in their fields, are presented from the campus - studios each Tuesday night at 9:15 p. m. over station KVOS. Norsemen Row May 5 is the date slated for the Norsemen's second annual Puget Sound cruise. Plans for the affair are being arranged by Buell Nims, social chairman of the organization.

BURNET. ..Adviser Wait, We Apologize ... . It's the end of the quarter and it's also near the first of April, so we're sorry.. Today's Collegian is light in several places like the biscuits grandmas used to make. We haven't adhered strictly to solid rules of journalism in this issue, and we apologize humbly and retire into the welcome folds of vacation to awoit the first of April when we can slip the fetters of custom completely. Grades To The Ash Can Many people say that competition and remuneration are the guiding lights of progress and achievement. Without the competition of the other fellow and the pay that comes from o finished task for impetus there could be no real accomplishments. There is the same opinion in education. In higher learning today, the student strives to better his classmates record and is rewarded with the alphabet, he gets his "A". Yet if this competition were removed, if this petty pay were abolished and if a student were placed in college to learn as much as he desired, the achievement of the worthy would be multiplied. His achievement would be his award. These nights of cramming preceding a final would be abolished, for would a student care about the immediate rating? Not a whit, for his eye would be on the total worth of his quarter's work. "I'm sure going to cram at the end of this quarter, I have to get a grade in this course." Student Squawk No. I Dear Editor and Students: Do you, as a student of WWC, ever stop to think how lucky you are to be blessed with several faculty members who simply cannot err? Is it not fortunate that we inferior automatons have the opportunity of having our feeble efforts at class contribution ridiculed by these master minds? Although it has been stated that one should always weigh any utterance—are we not fortunate in being forced to accept these without question? However, the faculty lists among its ranks some benighted souls who believe that students deserve courteous hearings and who encourage them to speak. Naturally, their classrooms are disturbed by student comments and questions; not blessed by the deathlike pall which falls over those others in which pearls are cast scornfully to the sleeping swine. Instructors who encourage class discussions and differences of opinion should be warned of the error of their ways. Who knows but what tliey will send forth a group of thinking graduates who will not passively accept the dictates of another but will be active members in our democracy? v. —X. Y. P. S.—Just to keep the record straight, may I -say that I personally, have been SQ badly treated by fate as to have spent the majority, of my classroom hours under the type of instructor who allows for difference of opinion—when the dissenter can present adequate authority. Squawk No. 2 " Last week-end was closed week-end. /There was no rec hour or other school activities. But girls were still allowed to be out till midnight ^ n Friday and Saturday. The result was that the dances downtown and in the country were well populated with WWC students. The only difference between this and any other week-end was that girls had to be in one hour earlier. As the students go but anyway why not have a'school dance? And if they don't want the girls to go out why not make the closed week-end really closed? Not that I advocate that but the way the situation now stands, it is silly. The girls are allowed out till midnight and no school rec hour to go to. As long as the girls go to other dances and affairs why not abolish the silly rule of-being in at 12 instead of 1 or else have some school activity on Friday or Saturday night? ^ —A. B.. liil- Fiotrer By Leroy Holcomb JUST A FAKEB . Joe Buzze and the boys in his band thought it was darned funny when the rie^w first trumpet man they hired sat in his chair, fumbling wttji his horn, and complaining there was "something wrong'; •and he couldn't play it Buzze took the horn, cleaned the mouthpiece and played it; long enough to realize the horn was okay. Then the "trumpeter" confessed he'd never had a horn in his' hands before, and had heeded a job, so he told Buzze he was a terrific lead man. Buzze" and his men claimed they had been in the music business twenty years and never "saw the guts this guy had in getting a job when he couldn't hit low G." Thanx to Down Beat. CROSBY There are exactly two songs in Bob Crosby's bulging library that call for Eddie Miller, tenor saxist, to take a vocaL Eddie sings in a lazy, drawling New Orleans style which defies description. The Miller singing seems to be catching, Go ier singing seems u gt; oe caicning, • a however, though nobody (including r n l l f f i Or Miller) can understand why. Crosby got a petition from 1,000 Pitts-burghers asking that Eddie be given more singing solos and a greater op* portnnity to display his vocal talents.

Apple polishingprocedure in.classrooms includes sitting in the front row/responding to professional humor with loud; hearty guffaws and liberal use of big words. This is imjportant—-never use a two-syllable word where a five-syllable word will do. 8. Carry a lot of big reference books around.

If you must close your eyes while in deep thought, wrinkle your forehead and otherwise look worried or the professor may get the wrong impression—andgrade, accordingly. EDITOR'S NOTE: You might try studying, too! . r Snooping Again! High school big shots still wear their sweaters around WWC. The school looks like a May Day festival with every color of the color circle represented. Curiosity got the better of the sophisticated staff and we snooped around till we found these vital statistics: First we see red, sweaters we mean, and learn that Bellingham high alums sport these, with GLENN JOHNSON, VIC MOLLAN, JAMES GILDAY, WALT BAKER and others wearing them most frequently. Red and blue sweaters hailing from Edison are flaunted by NORM DAHL and RALPH WALTERS. Lynden, too, fights for red and white. GLENN DeJONG and BILL O'NEILL wear the colors of Lynden. Darken the red a little and the color is maroon. Those who wear maroon sweaters from Montesano are WAYNE MINER and JIM HOL-LINGSWORTH. The old Fairhav-en high school in Bellingham still has reminders in the form of maroon and grey worn by ROSS GERRY, the DORCEY BROTHERS, and others of the former south side hall of learning. Dark blue sweaters are sometimes seen with CLARENCE KING Of Raymond displaying a blue one with red stripes; HAL BOOTHE, of Vader, with another: Navy blue and white sweaters from Pe Ell are numerous, with PETE GUDYKA, WAYNE KOTULA and STAN SAWINA a few of their wearers. LARRY FOWLER sports a black and orange cloak from Arlington. Although white sweaters aren't so numerous, they are seen at times.

Frost, 927 Key street, at high noon Sunday, March 3, Miss Kathryn Luella Frost, a graduate of WWC and Mr. Felix F. King of this city were united in marriage. The bride wore an afternoon dress of French blue crepe with quilted jacket and corsage of gardenias and pink rosebuds, and was given in marriage by her father. She was attended by her sister, Mrs. Tom Schafer, also a former student of WWC. She wore a lime green wool spring frock, with corsage of Talisman roses. Albert E Gerritz, of Ellensburg, Wash., was best man for Mr. King. The service was read by James Student Profs Say! Back in the good old days, children preparing for a program very definitely did just that to the exclusion, oftentimes, of other more worthwhile activities. The Campus school does it differently. In their series of pupil-produced assemblies, the programs have been taken from the everyday school life of the pupil. Thursday's "Hour of Song" put on by the Junior high orchestra was no exception. The members played those selections from their class work that they most enjoyed. In addition to their regular twice-a-week forty-minute class, they practiced the program in its entirety two times before presenting it In assembly before the whole Campus school group. Their student teacher, Mrs. Anna Ely Magallpn, conducted the first two numbers, then gave the baton to Miss Myra E. Booth, music instructor. Nine violins, two cellos, two flutes, one clarinet, two trumpets, and a piano were played by the eighteen members of the orchestra. No attempt is made.to balance the instrumentation because the aim is to give children an opportunity to play the orchestral instrument of their choice in ensemble. The program, the first for this year, was as follows: "Father of Victory" (Ganne); selections frOm "H. M. S. Pinafore" .(Sullivan); symphonic excerpts, including Second Symphony (Haydn), Seventh Symphony (Beethoven), First Symphony (Brahms),. New World Symphony (Dvorak), "Entr'Acte Gavotte" (Gillet), "Air" (Gluck)j Scherzo (Tschaikovsky), and overture "La Belle France" (Guian).

Ruckmick, of the industrial arts department, spent last Wednesday and Thursday at Mount Baker taking pictures of the National Ski Championships which were held there. The 800 feet of color movies were taken at the request of the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce. The pictures are to be used to give publicity to the activities in tile Mount Baker region with emphasis on winter sports. Mr. Ruckmick has done much photographic work. His most recent is of Japan, China, Mexico, and the southwest Indians, taken on his extensive trip.

We would have said something about ft sooner, but we" have been keeping our reading on-the higher plane and consequently don't see the Martian. We don't even read the Collegian. Anyhow we still don't like intercollegiate boxing, even if we have been a little lax in our denunciation of it thisquarter. Secretary Hyacinth has instructions to remind us to loose a vitrolic blast at it in the near future. Knowing Oh Johnny Esvelt of Cheney and Jack HasBrouck of Ellensburg like we do, we know they would be lost if we forgot themtthis week. Explanations to HasBrouck of the Crier. We weren't dlibing for those losses at Cheney. Those Savages can play pretty good basketball. Our knees still knock at the narrow squeeze the Vikings had in winning over here. But Hec Edmundsenconcurs with us that the rarified air east of the mountains on the windswept Cheney steppes makes a difference in the coast boys' play until they become acclimatized to it. Besides, on the coast We have summer all the time and cant get used to you easterner's cold winters. To EsVelt, our deepest regrets that We didn't get the honor of paying him that 20c. We lie. Old Grandpa Weber is the last of the Mohicans—the championship track squad of 1936. . . . Bill Schwceingruber is the proudest man. North Bend made the state tournaments. . . . Hutchinson is supposed to be faster this year and we do hope so. Phereless Phreddie was our biggest bust of predicting last year. . . That trybut the Huskies gave the proposed 12-foot baskets Was a decided vote for the present 10-foot hoops. And we bet that Edmundsen will Vote nay when the rules committee meets to discuss that tentative change. We hope so. How on earth will us guys that are built too close to the sidewalk ever throw a ball that high. . . . Harold Nelson, the Monster, is gone, but Annis Hoed also of. Edmonds, is reputed to be a high-jumper of note. . . . The grunt and grpaners added a fatality to their smelly history last week and didn't the Seattle and other state papers jump on the wrestling trust—-after the man was dead. Like bolting the door after the nag has been pilfered . . . Please won't somebody make up their mind about that track. The WINKO meet gets closer and closer... . . Joe Moses and Ed Ulowetz- are the .oldest players in the WIC but we didn't see the oldsters get tripped up on their long white beards. . . . Savidges of Seattle won the Washington AAU title and when they pick up a couple of Alpine's best men they will be tough citizens indeed. . .,. Joe Harvie played some for the Parkers of Mount Vernon, but Joe would have made Fircrest a lot stronger by staying at home. . . . If that Bishop of Everson ever gets eligible for college ball, he will make a good prospect for an enterprising college ivory hunter but don't anyone tell G-Man Atherton. . . Hank and Joe got their fill of milkshakes this past week but Hardwicks won The Herald tournament. Every once in a whense, Roy Franko, the Aberdeen Assassin, explodes with an idea. Most of these little schemes die a natural death, unhatched from his fertile noggin. But he let go his last brain-duster, and it is indeed a praiseworthy project. Rolypoly Roy is impressarioing an intramural track meet for April 13 with all men of the school eligible except those who have earned a letter in track at WWC. All those wishing to participate are to sign up for the event or events in which they wish'to compete. Then Track Coach Sam Carver will choose two captains and the captains will pick their squads. A regular meet will then be held with timers, judges, and everything. Who knows, perhaps you can run like Danny (Goofy) Gag-non, the Everett Express. Maybe you are the successor to Harold Nelson. Probably you can pick up the pole for the pole vault where Eyer dropped it. By the way, where did he drop it? Or did he run off to Burlington with it? Be that as it may, you may have hidden talent for cindersmithing and this meet will bring it out. So don't forget to sign up with Aberdeen's loss and Ta-coma's gain, Roy Franko, soon, or on the bulletin board in the men's basket room. P. S.—He pays good money for all this publicity. Ellensburg picked an all-opponents' team and on it were Katica, Sigtirdson, Moses, Harshman, and Ulowetz, and that's a strong team. On the second team were Pettyjohn, Westmoreland, Chamberlin, Perrault and Red Smith. This would indicate a wholesome respect for the Minings and rightly so. Little Joe was chosen as the best sportsman in the conference. A note of explanation: The column was written last week by William (Harvard Boy) Ridder, notwithstanding the daguerreotype of us over it. The reason we are explaining is twofold. We don't want to accept the laurels that go with it. The other reason is obvious. Again this week is the annual Seattle Times high school tournament and honest, the Seattle high schools are just dying to get into it. Then they could settle that whiskered adage about Seattle teams being scared to play outside teams. But still in effect is the antiquated school board ruling which prohibits the city schools from playing any other than their own league and until that is repealed there is no soap to the state tournament. So to the backers of Dryden, Pine Gty, North Bend, Everett, Bellingham, Blaine, Oakville, Bremerton, Kelso, Yakima, Cle Elum, West Yalley, Lewis and Clark, Walla Walla, Stadium, and Hoquiam, our best wishes. AH those teams can't win, but one can and it will be . . . ^UR CHEF WHO IS SKILLED ON THE GRILL IS EQUALLY AT HOME ON THE RANGE."

Tracksters Hard Hit By Loss Of Ust Year's Vets; Season Opener With Loggers This week Sam Carver sounded the trumpet heralding the cinder chumers of WWC to don their spikes for the 1940 track premiere. This spring on the Western Washington cinder oval, the first Winco track meet in history will be unveiled to northwest fans. Athletes from St. Martins, Pacific Lutheran, Eastern Washington, Central Washington, and Western Washington colleges will collaborate at this school to participate in the oldest of sports. Prospects Dim "Track prospects don't look so .promising," said the Viking mentor, with a note of dismay in his voice. "We'll be minus a trio of veterans this spring as Russ Eyer, Harold Nelson, and Dan Gagnon will all be gone." The opening meet for the Norse will take place in Tacoma where they will draw . lanes against the College of Puget Sound. Veterans Back Among the returning lettermen this spring will be Norm Dahl, half-mile artist, who went great guns last year, and is expected to continue lapping the field this year. Also awaiting the gun will be Johnny Tomasson, who lofted the shot 41-feet, 4-inches to pick off No. 2 spot in the all-conference meet last year. Another standout yet will be "Uncle" Wayne Weber, flying Dutchman of the broadjump lane, who soared over the sawdust pit 22-feet, 3 -inches, to establish a new conference co-record with Russ Eyer. Weber will be setting his peepers oh a new record when.he takes iiis mark this quarter. A fourth strong link to the Norse chain will be Buck Tisdale; the Menlo flyer trips the light fantastic over the swinging fence rails. Tisdale may not be performing for the Viking squad this spring, due to his past illness; however, chances are favorable that the spunky Norse lad will be struttin' his stuff with the rest of the oldsters when the roll is called. Johnny Ellis, and Dick Dombroski will also bulwark the Viking cinder men; Ellis teams with "Baby" Dahl in the distance runs, while Dombroski, like Tisdale, is an artist at the timber topper trade. Varsity Hoopsters Receive Awards Ten basketball regulars participated in enough quarters in the basketball season just ended to earn letter sweaters. These players, to be eligible for their sweaters, must pass in ten hours of school work this quarter. Those receiving letter sweaters are: Chamberlin, Moses, Westmoreland, Pettyjohn, Dahl, Vaughn, Dodd, Harris, Smith, and Bond. flti $h^r^^hd-. htopes Norm Dahl, winged mercury from Edison and running mate, Johnny Ellis, of Bellingham, are slated to carry the mail in the middle distances and mile run this year for the Viking thinciads. This is Johnny's third year and Baby Dahl's second tearing up cinders for the Norse. Dahl's strong fort is the 880, and Ellis favors the mile, but both do either with efficiency and dispatch. Viking Netters Await Turnouts Returning Lettermen Few; Lomsdale Standout From Lost Year's Racquet Veterans . "Lappy," in expostulating upon the subject of tennis prospects for this spring, says, "Boy, your guess is as good as mine." With turnouts starting on March 25, the present outlook for an omnipotent tennis aggregation,is far from heartening. All hopes for a winning club of racquet swingers look • very futile at present unless someone finds a Don Budge or two running loose in the WWC shrubbery. gt; Don Lomsdale will be the only returning letterma'fi this season. He was improving steadily at the end of last spring quarter and in the WIC conference playoff beat Knox who was playing No. 2 man for CWC. Dick Powler, who played No. 4 and 5 man two years ago is-back and will bolster the small repertoire of proven Viking net smashers. The net squad is selected entirely on a ladder plan and anyone wishing to turn out may do so. Men are ranked numerically according to ability, but have to beat all challengers to retain their positions. If a challenger defeats a varsity man, the latter has the privilege of a return match sometime the same week. t The Vikings have scheduled home and home matches with Pacific Lutheran college, College of Puget Sound and St. Martins. CWC will play here and "Lappy" hopes to play host to two or three Oregon schools. The WIC conference playoffs are to be held here this year and this will be the only time Cheney is played. - 'Candy Kids4 Take County Title Gulls Bomb Helpless West Valley Five; Raiders Lose to Blaine Shooters / Bellingham Red Raiders saw their last chance to qualify for a top berth in the State High School tournament at Seattle go up in a cloud of smoke as the Baline Bor-derites, two time Josers to the Raiders this year, dumped the Raiders 40-33. The loss put the red-clad pack out of the tournament. In the opening play Wednesday afternoon Oakville downed North Bend 28 to 24, and a hour later little Pine City, the school with only 21 boys, upset Kelso high 43 to 35. Blaine and Hoquiam, last year's finalists, met at 3:00 p. m., with Hoquiam coming out on top 35 to 30. Hoquiam beat Blaine last year for the state title. Lewis and Clark of Spokane led all the way to defeat Bellingham Red Raiders 36 to 26. In the last game of the afternoon Bremerton qualified to meet Everett on Thursday by beating Dryden 34 to 26. In the evening schedule Everett, the tournament favorite, crushed West Valley Sunder a 45 to .6 onslaught. An hour later Cle Mum swamped the ever present Walla Walla Blue Devils 52 to 24. In the closing game of the evening, Stadium, the team who qualified for the tournament the night before the meet opened, stayed in the* running for championship honors with a 37-35 overtime win over Yakima. 7 Hardwicks today hold the title of king, of Whatcom county independent teams as a result of their thrilling 49 to 43 win over Everson in the championship finals of the Herald second annual independent cage tournament at the Bellingham high school gym. which closed last Saturday night. In the fight for third honors, G-Men staved off a fighting band of Snoose Hill boys from the high school to win 57 to 44. The Snoose Hill club led at the half 20 to 18 but could not match the G-Men's stride in the last half. As the third period buzzer sounded, Hardwicks were on the short end of a 29 to 19 PPPPP

Show more1945_0105 ---------- WWCollegian - 1945 January 5 - Page 1 ---------- Norse notes By WALT BAKER • STUDY FOR YOUR COUNTRY: At the beginning of a new year we all make resolutions of one kind or another so that we might better ourselves individually or otherwise. Some of them we will keep and some we won't. One resolution which we should all make and strive to keep is to bear down and just plain study. Not only to study for your own benefit, but to study for your country. • WHY? "Now, more than ever before, is the time for all young men and women to come to the aid of their country." This variation of an often-typed maxim is becoming more pertinent every day. Millions of young men are fighting for their country; other millions are producing the tools of war. The question then comes up why should some of us be allowed to continue our studies, most of which have no apparent bearing on our war effort? The answer is that this country needs trained minds in every branch of the war effort, military and civilian. Our mere presence in college classrooms, however, is not enough; you have to produce; you have to justify in the classroom by a semblance of results. To some of us now is the time to justify our absence. Jxcin-the fighting fronts; now is the time to prove to yourself, and the world and especially to the gallant men on the fighting fronts, that you are forging a fighting tool more powerful than the best gun—a well trained and' informed mind. I might add that the foregoing spiel was partially inspired by a letter from a veteran navy man in the Pacific, namely former student, Frank Holbrook. He writes he is anxiously awaiting the moment that again will enable him to continue his studies at this institution when he last graced our halls, back in the year 1941. We're a fortunate lot. Let's appreciate our opportunity and keep that suggested resolution. • SHAKESPEARE: Wonderful fellow, that Shakespeare, so wonderful that some twenty-five studes have signed for Professor Hoppe's course in Shakespeare. What we are trying to bring out is that right after an hour's session with Shakespeare, we were close enough to overhear the opening speel of one of our lovesick studes as she answered her heartthrob on the telephone. "Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou" and the subtle reply, most unro-mantic, "In the bath tub, dear." We wont tell who it was, but you should have heard the rest. Shakespeare would turn over in his grave. Hey, Murgatroyd-- (commonly known as L. Bovee) we're about famished for thought—Just a min—nut! We wish to take a serious attitude at this point and extend a congratulatory bit of thanks to the student body and to Collegian adviser, "Mrs. R. Burnet" for" the splendid job done in getting our Collegiate sheet out to all the former students now in the service. If you know of a former student now in service who is not receiving the Collegian, please give his address to anyone on the Collegian staff. Dr. W. W. Haggard, president of WWC, is a well-known member of the WEA of the Department of Administration and Supervision which met in Seattle during the Christmas holidays. His latest activity in this field was a panel speech given at the last meeting. Dr. Haggard is also a member of the state Board of Education. • Klipsun Members Make Headway Gerry Ludens, Klipsun editor, announced today that the yearbook is well under way and that the main issue right now is to get the faculty pictures taken and developed. The staff traveled to Seattle during the Christmas vacation to make final arrangements with Western Engravers. While they were there two panels of pictures were mounted. "Even though this larger size Klipsun is a great deal of work, it is fun to work with, arid will be interesting to have—we hope'" concluded. Miss Ludens. Student Broadcasts Continue Popular Amidst the many activities here at Western Washington College two outstanding features come from the speech department. Every week, WWC presents two radio broadcasts over KVOS, which are put out by students for the public of Bellingham. "Story Telling time" with Donelda Johnson and Merrie Virginia Eggers, is on every Wednesday morning at 10:15, 790 on your radio dial. This program features all those familiar fairy tales with some singing and plenty of sound effects. Each story that is told is dramatized as well, and issues many interesting advances for the girls. Merrie Virginia writes the script for the broadcast and changes her voice to suit the characters she portrays. Donelda usually narrates the stories, taking part in some of the scenes. All the news around college and notes of interest about the campus, are broadcasted every Thursday at 4:45 p. m. The continuing radio speech class presents this broadcast, writing and correcting the scripts themselves. Type Innovation New type in the Metro and Ur-ber medium type faces has been purchased by the Bellingham Daily Herald. They have adopted the informal flush-left, headline, replacing their former inverted pyramid. Pat Scott, managing editor, has announced that he favors the new type because of its flexibility and modern appearance. VOL XLIII—NO. 13 vVestem Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, January 5, 1945 Vaudeville Scenes Shown in Show Between ten and twelve different acts of old-fashioned vaudeville make up the script of the talent show to be presented this winter quarter, probably the first week in March. The show will require a cast of between forty and fifty people, and casting, with some sort of try-outs, will begin the first part of next week. Dr. Moyle P. Cederstrom and Victor H. Hoppe prepared the script over Christmas vacation. It includes song and dance acts, musical specialties, comedy skits, and other features. An idea of talent has been given in the talent assemblies presented this year and the show has been written around talent known to be available. More acts may be added, however, to round out the show, and to give additional talent an opportunity. Dr. Cederstrom and Mr. Hoppe will be in charge of rehearsals. Although no definite information has been given out as to the exact character of the acts, the grapevine has it that a shipwrecked sailor, an Indian snake charmer, a hula-hula dancer, and a down-south darkle all will have a part in the production. State Educators HqJdMeejt ....WEA members of the Department of Administration and Supervision gathered in Seattle December 27 and 28, for their annual meeting. Those attending from the WWC were Miss Elizabeth Hopper, Miss Nora Cummins and Dr. W. W. Haggard. Dr. Haggard was a member of a panel on Dec. 27 which discussed the ((Relation of Federal Government to Education." Dr. Paul Grim attended a meet-, ing of the Board of Directors of the WEA following the session. On Dec. 19, Dr. Haggard attended a meteing in Olympia of the state Board of Education which is composed of seven members; representative of all the state schools.

Eleanor King Plays Return Engagement Here Today Possessed of one of the most varied backgrounds in modern dance, Eleanor King presented an American Concert for the students of Western Washington this morning in assembly. Miss King has danced in Broadway revues and vaudevilles, night clubs, and Theatre Guild productions, summer theatres, colleges, in opera performances, with symphony orchestras, in art museums, and even Madison Square Garden. Educational Leader Or, Paul Grim, superintendent of the campus school, was also present at the WEA meeting. He is a member of the WEA Board of Directors, and attended a meeting of the board immediately after the session/Both he and Dr. Haggard are'outstanding educational leaders in Washington state. Studes Choose Yell Leaders The regular assembly Tuesday will be student sponsored for the purpose of introducing to the student body the members of the Board of Control. This board is the ruling administrative group of the college. , At the same assembly there will be tryouts for one yell leader to replace Mugs Grunhard, who has enlisted in the navy. Anyone inter-erested is asked to report to Iris Bowden or Dale Burklund before the 11 o'clock assembly. Leadership Course Offered at WWC Social Agency Leadership is the . official title of the new course which has been added to the curriculum of WWC for winter quarter. Mr. Dutton is instructor and the purpose of the course is to help train those who' are interested in YMCA, YMCA, Boy Scouts and similar organizations. A study- will be made of fundamental principles of social leadership and emphasis will be placed on the practice of these principles. The course meets the strong approval of social organization leaders. The assembly this morning showed clearly, with the secret of the essential eloquence of modern dance movement, that the stimulation of Modern "dance has much in it toward fine culture for student influence. Miss King is on intimate terms with the • educational world, through extensive teaching in schools and summer theatres as well as concert appearances on what modern dancers fondly and gratefully call the "gymnasium circuit." Again, intent on developing "a dramatic theatre-dance," Eleanor King has thrilled the college audience with her display of unusual and original interpretations of dance. Her dances included her new solo, "To The West' based on. a piano sonata by the American composer Roy Harris' "Ode to Freedom" and "American Folk Suite," based on familiar folk melodies. "She has so much vitality; of imagination," reads a Seattle P-i comment, "that the merest movement in one of her topnotch satires brings the depths of human complexities stark in front of you. Her control of dance movement is superb." Committees Start Work on Prom Plans for the Sixth Annual Publications Prom are being formed by committee chairmen, who are led by co-chairmen Lucille Bovee, Collegian editor, and Geraldine Ludens, Klipsun editor. February 24 is the set date for the formal dance and the Whidby Island Navy Band, the Hi-Flyers, have been engaged for the evening. A committee will go to Whidby Island soon to meet with Chief Ellis to make final arrangements. A tentative plan is underway for the arrangement of servicemen dates, similar to the plan -employed last year. A meeting of WWCollegian and Klipsun staff members will take place Monday at 4 p. m. in order to make definite plans, and make final committee appointments. ^Dateline Saturday, Jan. 6— Basketball game, WWC gym, 8 p.m. Lounge open following game.

Adviser oditoliah RESOLVE! Now that you have all made your New Year's resolutions, the time has come to keep them. It's easy to sit down and list off a number of "don'ts" for 1945 but when 1945 arrives most of us turn to look for the nearest escape. Of course you could make res-solutions like our Newswoman, Gin-hie Eggers and resolve not to do things you never do anyway. Of course she made a few others to supplement the bluffs but some of us don't even bother to do that. 1945 doesn't look as if it may bring numerous and joyous rewards as have years in the past, but our resolutions can help to bring us through the cloudy days ahead. Whether your resolution is immediate and definite or a vague dream for the future once it is made it should be kept. So now that you still have all but a few days of 1945 before you, resolve to keep your resolutions so that, when the New Year becomes the old you can proudly say, "I've done my best!" GUEST EDITORIAL— Some heave that sigh of relief that 'tis all over, some groan with that annual hang over, a great number of people merely shrug and methodically start in on the. new grind, while a few rare individuals smile contentedly, tuck in their Christmas spirit, and quietly settle back to wait for the next holidays. Perhaps of all these sad cases the very worst is the last example. Complacent people, ugh! No matter which category we fall into it would be an A one idea to dig in on some of that academic work and at the same time mix in a little of that friendliness that was so evident during the holiday season.

There was a house meeting Wednesday night. Elections of officers and lengthy discussions were the main issues of the evening—Our new officers are: social chairman, Virginia Pendalton; secretary-treasurer, Zel Blekkink; and house reporter, Lois Meyer. • Future ?

DOWNTOWN HEADQUARTERS For WWC Students Fountain, Food, Drink HARDWICKS Where Friends Meet and Eat During the vacation days many studes played post office. Of course, you realize this game takes quite a degree of intelligence. So much so that many of the great minded individuals saw fit to further their education by helping Uncle Sam-mie's Christmas rush in the mail department. Pitt White, Gerry Woodward, Gene Sivertson and Margaret Keehn all played post office. Peggy Custer helped push the mail through the bottleneck of the season's rush, too, besides running an elevator in the Gowman hotel in Seattle, visiting friends, dashing about hospitals and shopping. What we want to know Peg, if that's a vacation, what all do you do at college? Other activities seeped out into conversations this week as we learned that Alice Smith went to Bremerton and got lost in Seattle. Please explain the situation, Alice. Eleanor Anderson worked at a drug store in La Push. Cynthia Sytsma and Betty Peaster worked (ahem) at Stahley's here in town! Lois Meyer tagged her brother around on his three days at home for the first time in two years. How are all the relatives, Lo? Alice Hunt did as she pleased and enjoyed it. Roy Weldon worked at Mannings and then enjoyed the snows on Mt. Baker! They Vacate Too! Edward J. Arntzen, instructor in the social sciences, is back at WWC this quarter after enjoying his vacation; in the fall period. Off for the winter quarter are Miss Charlotte B. Richardson, industrial arts; and Dr. Elias A. Bond, mathematics. Miss Richardson is spending her vacation at her home ni Nantucket, Massachusetts, while Dr. Bond plans to spend most of his time here in Bellingham. Commission Meets The A. W. S. Commission is well on its way for starting out the winter quarter. Their first project will be the promotion of the High School Leaders Conference. The girls' clubs are now sending out letters inviting leading high school girls to come to the Campus. They will also continue to raise money for Collegian subscriptions. A popcorn ball sale and the Silver Tea are two means of raising planned. Sacro-Iliac Backache We carry a complete line of appliances such, as Correction Belts for trouble in the region of the sacrum.

Seems good to be back again! Hmmm! I knew you'd take that attitude but don't let it get you, the Republicans will have a chance to take over this time, four years from now. OK, Right! I resolved not to argue. I think cupid missed his cue this year and trotted around a little early. Carol Simmons came back with a genuine sparkler and is it a honey? Gosh, you can see the sentiment more than shining forth. Cupid did his duty once again as he finally tagged Criss Ackerman. Criss is back this winter quarter to scrape up some of the well known idea, often termed, knowledge. Remember studes, she's that pep toatin' fern from Snohomish. Lotsa spirit, ability, and a champ swimmer. Roy Wark finally mustered up enough courage to propose, too. Yep, readers, he did it. On the stroke of midnight, between 1944 wd 1945, he said,, (quote) I Roy Lawson Wark propose to do more studying than ever before! (unquote). Here's a Tip Co-eds! If you can't think of any other way to flatter a man, tell him he's the kind of a man who can't be flattered. "I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles every where." This song tra la la, drifts from the Haggard residence as Joan sits amongst bubbles every morn. Some person gave J.

It seems the house is starting the New Year off right by beginning to study now instead of waiting until the last two weeks of the quarter. Big Gene Sivertson spent Christmas delivering mail here in Bellingham. Later he. spent the last day of "44" and the first day of "45'\in the metropolis of Raymond.

College Pool Open to Outsiders The Extension swim class, which is given to make possible the use of the pool to residents of Bellingham and vicinity, had their first swim last Tuesday night. Twenty-five people have enrolled Crystal Ackerman is guarding, and Miss Orpha Christiansen, instructing. The enrollees are required to have a health examination, and pay an enrollment fee.

CubbyHole By CALE CAMPBELL After taking two on the chin during the vacation, Lappy's Vitamin Kids are taking a hitch in their belt this week and are preparing to break again into the win column when they meet the powerhouse Coast Guard club from Seattle. The definte lack in team spirit seemed to spell the Blue and White machine's defeat against both the coast conference clubs and with a few minor understandings the lo»- cals will prove to be a real threat this quarter. Johnson May Start Chad Johnson, a frosh performer from. Mt. Baker high, might break into WWC's starting combination this Saturday night which will make the starting five look probably like this, Johnson and Pavlicek, forwards; Graham and Murray, guards; Sivertson, center. Johnson may furnish the much needed speed and spark on the hilltop quintet and will be a big threat as a basket getter. Sivertson Gets Applause Big Gene Sivertson received many pats on the back from Friel, and Warren coaches for WSC and U. of O. respectively. Friel thought Sivertson was the best backboard man he had seen thus far this season and would be a cinch for any coast baD club. Oregon's Bill Warren thought big Gene was sure a work horse for a big man and would love to have him on the Oregon campus. Burfclund Shows Improvement Dale Burklund. a veteran from last years' five and a ex-Bremerton performer, after being hampered by a bad foot at the start of the season, is showing returning life after a Christmas holiday and will see lots of action from now on. Burklund has good speed and is a good scorer Pavlicek and Murray May Start Proving themselves capable of a starting berth this week, Bob Pavlicek and Bill Murray may start for the locals against the Guardsmen, Saturday night. "Rapid Robert" showed renewed spark in breaking through all opposition in turnouts to rain in numerous points this last week. "Anacortes Red" Murray, the most improved Viking hoopster, may get his starting chance also this week. Murray has shown starting form for some time but as he has been inxeperienced has seen little action. HEBE and THERE A keyman has been added to the WWColIegian sports staff in Clarey Marshall—Marshall was a member of the page last year and his material has always been very inter-ffctaag and action packed—Ernie Lndwick has taken a job on the Lynden high school coaching staff which should make Lynden a league threat this season- CG Hoopsters Meet Vikings Viking Loss —COURTESY HERALD Ray Chapman, 6'5" giant for the Blue and White Vikings, will play his last game for them Saturday night. Ray leaves for the army Monday, the 8th. Vikings Drop Pair During Vacation During Christmas vacation the Vikings played two thrilling basketball games, but lost both of them. On December 19 the Washington State College Cougars clearly outplayed the Viks to win 54 to 43, and on the following night, December 20, the University of Oregon Webfeet slapped a heartbreaking 50 to 45 defeat on the Blue and White cagers after the valiant Viks had led until the dying moments of the game.

Not as in the old carefree days, but we. are happy that it brings us one year nearer Victory, a Victory that still stands elusively around the corner. DARIGOLD Whatcom County Dairymen's Assn. Phone 314 Howard Wright War Victim Word was received recently from the War department that Corporal Howard Wright and ex-Viking athlete was killed in Germany on Dec. 3 in action against the enemy. Wright was a student at WWC in 1942-43 and was very active in student activities around the campus. He was varsity football manager in the fall of '42 and played on the intramural champions, Hospice Inn in the school basketball loop. Howards home was Mon-tesano, where he attended high school and was a star performer or\ "Montys" baseball team. While a student here he was an active member of Hospice and was credited with sinking the winning basket to bring the crown to the hilltoppers in the basketball league. He was also a member of Miss Longley's then famed kitchen crew and was on many committees in Norseman club affairs. Corporal Wright had been in the army for about nineteen months and was a member of the army combat engineers. He was eighteen years of age when he was killed. FLASH!! It would be appreciated by the yell leaders if all students would group together around the Valkyrie at all the basketball games. Let's cooperate and really let the team arid outside fans know that were out there behind the team. Half-time score: W. S. C. 30, Vikings 16. Officials: Earle Jewell and Floyd Pesler.

Johnson, Murray May be Starters; Patterson Real Threat Coach Lappenbusch Will Juggle Western Starting Five; Guardsman To Boast Powerful Squad For Vik Game Tomorrow night at 8 p. m. the WWC Vikings will take on the strong Captain of the Port Coast Guard five of Seattle, in a game which should prove thrilling from start to finish. The Viks will attempt to start the New Year of 1945 out right with a win but will have to use all of their speed and finesse to down the scrappy C. G's. The Guardsmen to date have played such strong teams as the Fort Lewis Warriors, University of Washington, Oregon Webfeet, and Whidby Island Navalairs, losing only to Fort Lewis and are now tied for first place with Fort Lewis in the strong Northwest Service Men's League. Boasting such standouts as Ed Heino, Neil Hafemeister, Andy Opacich, former all-city basketeer from Seattle, Andy Patterson, and Jack Kylen, the Coast Guard quintet presents a very formidable outfit. Meanwhile the Vikings have been getting in some good licks in preparation for this game. All week long the accent has been on speeding up the offense. By virtue of their fine work all week in practice, Bob Pavlicek, Chad Johnson, Gene Sivertson, Jack Graham, and Bill Murray probably will comprise the starting line-up tomorrow night. 'Anacortes Red' Ball Hawk "THE MAN TO WATCH," this is the title that has been pinned to Bill Murray, freshman basketeer on Coach Lappenbusch's Vikings. Past Record Good Bill, who stands 6 ft. even, weighs 180 lbs. and has red wavy hair hails from Anacortes. While there he played a key role in engineering the Anacortes Sea Hawks to the championship of Skagit county, third place in. the district and fifth in the state. Shooting ability and handling of the ball are Bill's specialities on the court. Since arriving at WWC these qualities have been greatly polished, under the guidance of Coach Lappenbusch. If once given a chance, you may look forward to seeing a lot of this boy in future games, as his ability will speak well of itself. Probable Starters WWC VIKINGS Pos.

NEWS—I calls it. Now you can call it anything yuh want!! Ya know that this here rag was here when you weren't, don't ya?? That is. it has been under the process of being published for several years. In fact, since 1899. Well, what I'm trying to get at is this—There have been editors and there have been editors (Can't think of another word for them—we-1-1-11 could—but would it pass the censor—that is the question). It seems that once in awhile said editors write—to us. You'd like to hear a little (don't be sad, it'll just be a little bit) about them, wouldn't ya?

Westman also holds the Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters for "meritorious achievement" while participating in the air offensive against the enemy over continental Europe. • The Collegian staff received the^ very nicest of letters from Harold Loop, alumnae of the alma mater. Hal, who is stationed in the Hawaiian Islands as a physical instructor, had as his duties up to a few weeks ago giving calisthenics to four or five hundred men a day, conducting baseball, basketball, and volleyball classes. He is now in charge of athletics for all the pharmacist mates at this station. • Upon remarking about the islands he said the natives ride surf boards by the hours out there and are just like fish in the water.

In the not too far away: Carol Simmons, junior at WWC, surprised most Edenites when she arrived here at the hall this week. No it wasn't all baggage that she carted along—something new has been added, and that beautiful sol-itare ain't hay. The man in the picture is Bill Tapscott, a Naval Air cadet, who is stationed-at Pen-sacola, Florida. Carol received her ring on Christmas and said that they will be married as soon as he gets his wings. It'll be in the near future, too, cause he's finishing his advanced training now. SANTA CLAUS SPLURGES Mr. and Mrs. Robert Porteous became the parents of a baby boy in December. Mrs. Porteous is the former Bessie Huntamer. who is an alumna of WWC.

In spite of gas rationing he made his faithful yearly visit to all the guys and gals. From Everett to Vancouver. WWC studes are sporting new finery. Perky Irene "Ike" Eiford, is now sporting a lush sweater in the newest shade, "Hot Pepper." Really neat! Speaking of sweaters, Hal Moe has a good looking blue sleeveless sweater. Lucky boy, they're hard to find! ! If you see a gorgeous fuschia scarf walking down the hall or across the campus it's probably Joan Haggard. Oh, such a beautiful color! Bob Sleem, a new stude, is flashing around in a maroon slip-over sweater. Say gals, have you ever heard Bob sing the G.I. Jive? Strictly solid, Jackson. Splashing around in the heavy dew of Bellingham is dark-eyed Peggy Sorenson in a bright, fitted raincoat. The latest style and really rainproof, too. The picture Bob Searl received for Christmas is his most treasured gift. Seems as though his dream girl gave it to him. Nice dreaming, Bob. Just ask George Jurgins about his "Old Spice." He made quite a haul of the stuff. Must like it, 'cause it smells so good. Pat Miller really hit the jackpot when it comes to records—for a gal who just started her collection— she's doing pretty well. Has the New American Jazz Album—a prize in itself. Pitt White keeps insisting that the best thing old Saint Nick left him was a letter. Won't say who it was from or what it's about but it sounds plenty good! Rings may come and rings may go but one of the nicest rings coming, was caught by Gorden Boney. Christmas eve.

These boys left school with one . thought foremost 'in their- minds, that they had a job to do and would: do it. to-the.,'best of their ability.. .Well may pur faculty be proud of the bpys who' have received commissions because of the education they received while attending school here. All this bunk about., the 90-day wonders has been wiped aside-by our boys who are showing those dubious critics that not only are they fine leaders, but that they have the courage and the respect of. the men under" them so that they will follow them anywhere and everywhere. This week, among the several hundred graduates of navy midshipmen schools throughout the country, are a number of former Western Washington men, who left this campus some two or more years ago under the Navy V-12 program. One of those graduates was my younger brother, who graduated in the top rung of his class from the Harvard supply school at Harvard university. I'm proud and happy that he has achieved a goal that was one of my greatest ambitions during my short stay with the navy. Others who soon will be home sporting gold braid are, Wade Haggard, peppery mite and son of our president; Albin Erickson, former football great, and a host of other V-12'ers tod numerous to mention. To these men and to the hundreds of others before them, both enlisted personnel and commissioned, we say, "Well Done!" • SIP and BITE: While we're about it we thought . it would be helpful to mention, (which you probably alreadyknow) that the famous Sip and Bite hash house, better known to the students of a few years #back, is again open for business. The little yellow and black building is located on High street, just a hop skip and jump from the home of color and light, Edens hall. The pleasant and accommodating owners are a young and efficient married couple from right here in Bellingham. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Radonski want the students to know that they are featuring nothing but the best in dinners and fountain service. They will be found on the job from 7 a. m. to 10 p. m. on school days and from 7 a. m. to 12 p. m., on Saturday and from 10 to 10 on Sundays. Best of luck to the new proprietors. • MISSING IN ACTION: It wasn't so.many days ago that we wrote a little piece about the death of First Lt. JAMES J UN KIN of the Marines, who was killed in action in the Pacific theater of war. Again that same theater has claimed another former Western college student. This time the navy department announces that ROBERT NELSON, a navy fighter pilot and veteran of a number of air engaments, is missing in action. Bob was well known here at school for his athletic prowess and for his likeable personality. His brother Roy, a former student, is .also in the Pacific as a fighter pilot. Another brother, Roger ,a recent dischargee from the navy, is in school this .quarter. King Presents Dance Drama Anxious to develop an interest in modern dance, Eleanor King presented an assembly of dances last Friday here at WWC. . "I believe presenting modern dances for college students is the one wide hope for young America, to grasp the importance of this art," responded Miss King. Breathing hard and still garbed in her self designed costume, she went on to say that she enjoyed student audiences as they seemed responsive to new things. - Now teaching modern dance in Seattle, Miss King believes that the art is very creative for the interested person. "It offers value in the correlation between mind and body. It proves that the feeling of imagination can be brought into reality more so through dance than any other way.'" With great people such as Miss Eleanor King, who stimulates her audiences through vitality in movement, there will no doubt be a growing impulse in young America for modern dance. Glendale Libe Given Grant Memoirs Guy S. Allison, columnist and historian, who is a graduate of 1906 from WWC, scrutinized the copy of the first edition of "Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant" at the Glendale public library. Two gifts, donated to/the library by Games W. Everington contain the former president's autograph. Another gift was of two Volumes on the "Life of Jefferson Davis," written by his wife. The books are part of the original edition. Mr. Allison who examined the gifts, said the memoirs of- Grant were written under conditions of severe strain by Grant, who was bed-ridden and dying at the time. "In fact, Grant raced with death to complete the Memoirs," Allison remarked. "He died in 1885 and several of the final chapters were composed while he was in severe pain." "The idea of the memoirs was suggested to Grant by Mark Twain. A bank failure had left Grant heavily in debt. The sale of the book brought Grant and his estate $250,- 000 and enabled payment of all debts." WWl VOL XLIII—NO. 14 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, January 12, 1945 Norsemen To Pick Twenty Prom Beauties of WWC Norsemen will elect- the first twenty candidates for the Publications Prom Princess Friday, January 19, in their first meeting of the quarter. • At an assembly in the near future, prominent photographers and artists from Bellingham will choose from the twenty nominees the ten whom they consider most photogenic. These girls will then have portraits taken to be sent to Whid-by Island Naval Air Station, where the final selection will be made by the Navy men, as was done last year. The Princess will be announced during the Prom when WWC goes on the air over KVOS. Any girl registered in school is eligible and must be nominated by appearing on the list of twenty names to be written by each Norseman. The twenty girls whose names appear most frequently on the Norsemen lists will be announced as the preliminary candidates, the tabulation to be made by Doris Tedford, ASB president, and Mrs.Ruth A.Burnet, publications adviser. Sportsters Sponsor Tea in Blue Room The WRA initiation tea will be held in the Blue room at 4 p. m. next Wednesday for all new members. On Monday and Tuesday of this week the membership drive was opened to all new girls. The WRA carnival is now underway. It is one of the big events of the year sponsored by the club. It will take place next Saturday night after the big game with the University of Washington. Bellingham Show Goers Anticipating Top Flight Wintertime Production By CATHERINE ANDERSON Wishing to dig out a little first hand information on the' Winter Show, the idea flashed to mind that a good place to start investigating would be with the members of the executive committee. So.. with magnifying • glass in hand, the search started. Pitt White was the first member of the committee unearthed, and he answered simply, "Its going to be good." After mulling the matter over in his mind for a few minutes, he finally came up with a "Why" answer, quote: "It's something new, and should bring out a lot of hidden talent." Unquote. Merrie Virginia Eggers spoke right up with a ready.. and enthusiastic reply; "It's different and it's new. The vigor and enthusiasm which its backers have for the show makes sure that it can't help being a big success." Then, with eyes dancing, she added, "Some spicy parts promise really to be choice." George Jurgens stopped ping-ponging long enough to say, "Good." That's all. The show is going to be better than last year's, according to Dale Burklund, and it is packed with talent. As .the search for news went on, the trail swung down near Dr. Cederstrom's office, so a stop-off was made for some straight factual material. According to Dr. O. a few of the part sare already cast, while other .persons.are being contacted this week. Further try-outs will be held the early part of next week: There is still rood? in the show for two or three specialty acts. These can be musical, dramatic, or whatever. Students with ideas are urged to try out, for the show can be expanded. The executive committee meets again today to go over plans more definitely. The final cast probably will be announced in the next issue of the WWCollegian. About 17 men and 25 women will be needed for the show, and according to Lloyd Jones, committee member encountered on the last lap of the journey around the building, it* will take co-operation from everyone. And then his final, parting shot: "It won't be any better than the students who are in it..and I'm in it!" Well, anyway, it is going to be a great show! Violin Master Visits Campus; Presents Concert Tuesday Spanish Musician Wins Applause of American Audiences; Appears As Guest Artist For Three Scheduled Concerts The assembly scheduled for Tuesday, January 16, will bring one of the masters of the violin today, Antonio Brosa, to our campus. Mr. Brosa began his public concert appearances at the age of ten and even held a baton to conduct a small orchestra at six. Barcelona, Spain, was the scene of this success. Continuing to win praise from his audiences, the City of Barcelona! gave him a scholarship to study Mi-olin in Brussels.. Instead of returning to his native country, Spain, Brosa accepted engagements to con-certize in England and here he founded the Brosa Quartet in 1926. Easily becoming the soloist of the group, Mr. Brosa disbanded the quartet and became known in mus- . ical circles as a soloist. He played; a Town Hall debut concert which brought him acclaim from the New York critics for his "sheer virtuosity' and "technical mastery." He then made a sensational appearance with the New York Philharmonic in 1940, and in 1942 with the Seattle Symphony orchestra under Sir Thomas Buchman, playing the Sinfonia Concertante by Mozart, with William Primrose, violinist. For several seasons, Mr. Brosa played in the Pro Arte Quartet at the University of Wisconsin and on tour. His popularity with the students there and at Smith college, where he now heads the violin department, is a splendid tribute to genial personality and musicianship of this artist. While on tour this season Mr. Brosa will play as so-, loist at three concerts with the Seattle Symphony orchestra, Carl Bricken conducting. He also will play on concert series at Salem, Oregon. Antonio Brosa, welJ-known .and talented violinist, who will appear here in the 11 o'clock assembly Tuesday, January 16, is pictured above. Mr. Brosa studied in Brussels, and spent some time before coming to the United States playing concert tours in'England. He was the soloist for the Brosa quartet at that time.

Adviser O^itoiiaL TAKE NOTICE All that has been said and all that has been written about care of the student lounge seems to have quietly breezed by you studes. Complaints from lounge managers, faculty and other students have come to us frequently. When you carelessly lay that cigarette -on the table edge and dance off, it means the ruining of a table surface. Just a little thought .would divert your actions from destructive tendencies to ones of helping keep our lounge so that we may all enjoy it. . The board of control has investigated the possibility of having glass tops put on the tables but this would prove to be very expensive. The student lounge has been built and furnished for our pleasure, but if we wish to continue enjoying it's pleasures we must take care of it now.' Watch those careless actions, it's as easy to be careful as careless, if you try. HARPING AGAIN! As long as we are on the subject of repetitious gripes we might as well bring up the subject of school spirit. Your attendance at games and the spirit you display there has been very fine. The three yell leaders have been a big help in arousing the best efforts from the rooting section. But the basketball games, as important as they are, should not be the only place where we demonstrate our school spirit. Tuesday's ossembly was a little disheartening when only a few of the students cooperated with those who had planne4 the program. Assembly attendance is not only far below what it should be but those who do attend do not always act as they should. When you think of school spirit, make the term apply to all of your activities and this college year will be a greater success. Perhaps it does sound silly when I say I'll never get a man, ''Cause everybody nowadays thinks anybody can! , But I'm inclined to disagree, for now that I am twenty, No man has proposed to me 'cause girls are too darn plenty! But life ahead, though dark it seems to be. Really doesn't worry a future old maid like me; ' For I see a little cottage snuggled high upon a hill Where flowers blossom in the spring and everything is still. Down in the village will be little stores. Where I'll visit people while attending to my chores. I shall have a furry cat to keep me company. While I sit round the fire at night sipping at my tea. Of course, I'll dream of days gone by at dear old Edens hall And all the friends I chanced to have, I know I shall recall. They'll all be settled happily in a quiet little nest And. naturally they will say, that married life is best. But if old friends I chance to meet on some familiar soU, I'll try to make them understand that married life is toil; For ril be able to go and come and do just as I like. While they will have to stay at home because of the Utile tyke! So don't you see no matter what my life looks like ahead, I'll be much beter off if I never chance to WED! A. M. A. Jtlated TUtvs From Houses EDENS EDIFICE Good resolutions are made to be broken, say we all, as we turn over a new leaf—so as we start out the quarter many Edenites have taken to heart this proposal of making a clean sweep of things.

Quickies: The shield of St. John now rests on the door of the most popular room on the second floor corridor—the Blue room has become much in demand by the college boys and Edens hall girls on week ends—The most jolly laugh in the dorm is that of Carol Swan-son! Tick, tick, tick went the clocks in 230—yes, four planted tin tickers were distributed in various places about the room.

RAGAN'S RAMBLINGS We at Ragan's hope that you have all cast a covetous eye at that neat little blue chevy coupe in our front yard. It's a temporary feature, belonging to Ruth Mclnnes, whose only complaint is that both the car and the gasoline that goes into it are far too temporary. Next time you see Lucy Robinson, look carefully for a lumpy package which will contain the third installment of her new set of dishes. They're real pretty, but in spite of all our hinting, she hasn't asked us over for lunch yet, so we could use them. Saving them for the honeymoon, Lucy?

MOE'S favorite song is "And It Didn't Mean a Thing." Mrs. Hard kept hitting a C. G. Chief over the head with her umbrella at the game Saturday. Heard tell he was the sole rooter for the visitors and did a pretty good job, too. The shades of night were falling fast When for a kiss he asked her. She must have answered yes, because The shades came down much faster. LLOYD evidently had an overdose of "Wheaties" at the game— darn near took LAPPY'S glasses off. We like his school-spirit though—we could use more of that kind of pep. M. V. EGGERS is "saving her heart for just one man"—but can't decide which one. "May I take you home? I like to take experienced girls home." "I'm not experienced." "You're not home yet." This story involves one of those Student Lounge chairs — and Seve —and Zosh. Moral of this story: Does anyone want to buy a folding chair? M. L. BURKE and ELAINE both managed to get on troop trains while back east—where do you get a ticket to New York?

Mr. Herbert Hearsey, one of the most staunch sports fans in Bellingham, and active member of the college library, has helped solve many problems in the organization at our games. In his college days, Mr. Hearsey was an athlete in his own rights, winning four letters in track. The Cubby Hole by cale Campbell When speaking of the basketball thrillers the local fans are in for a five-star contest on January 20, when the University of Washington Huskies come to Bellingham to meet the Vikings. IMPROVED BALL CLUB Hec Edmundson's boys from the Seattle campus, although getting off to a bad start this season, have rounded out their rough spots and are developing into one of the stronger teams of the Northwest. One thing the Huskies lack this season that might be a help to the Blue and Whiters is height. Gene Sivertson, if he plays the type of ball he did in the first couple of game this season, sould dominate the boards all evening. Bob Jorgeson, a product of the Seattle schools, will be the big gun- for the Purple and Gold in the scoring department and will be a boy to watch if you want to see speed to burn. LAPP TO USE STRAIGHT LINE Coach Charles Lappenbusch put out a warning to C. S. Edmundson, Husky mentor, that he will rely a lot on the defense that stopped the Coasters last season. Lapp's boys have had very little success with the straight line so far this season but thinks with a few concentrated drills will have the boys chasing the big timers off the floor. HERB WITT MAY BE HUSKY Herb Witt, a member ofthe Board of Control and popular student here at WWC, may enroll in the UW this next semester and turn out for spring football on the Seattle campus. Witt, who was a basketball letterman here last season and who played one year on the gridiron at Morningslde college, in Iowa, will be a big help to Pest Welchs Washington line next season. Herb tips the scales at around 190 lbs. and has good speed and leg drive which are two of the more important features of a good guard, which is Witt's position. The Husky gain will definitely be a WWC loss. ODDS and ENDS Rumors have it that Larry Munizza may take over the head coaching reins at Snohomish high school next year—Bob Pavlicek, the local speed merchant, was handed a fine compliment by the ' Coast Guard coach, he said, "Pavlicek is one of the fastest little guys we have run up against this season'—The Vikings 'and Huskies will get a food look at each other Saturday night as they both play in the Saturday night basketball dou-bleheader at the University pavilion—George Jur-gens, Collegian sports scribe, is doing a good job on the YMCA basketball squad as a balllhandler —George Dack and his crew are doing a fine job in their beautification of our campus and deserve much credit—If it weren't for these three person's labor our campus might not be one we can look on with pride. Canadian Boosts Western Squad By GEORGE JURGENS One of the most versatile basketball players ever to grace a Viking • squad at WWC, comes in a package with the name John Graham printed on the side. Big John, who hails from Vancouver, B. C, is a graduate of Prince Eds High school. While attending school, he took an active part in participating in all sports carried on there. It was then that Jack began making the name "Graham" ring with basketball recognition. Upon completing school in 1943, Jack enlisted in the Canadian Navy. He was sent to Quebec, Canada, for his boot training. While there he became ill and was hospitalized. His honorable discharge, after seven months training, -returned him to his home in Vancouver. Still determined on higher education, Graham decided to cross the border and attend Western Washington College. Now enjoying his second quarter here at WWC and playing bang up basketball for Coach Lappenbusch, Jack has proved himself as worthy a competitor as any Coach could ask for. To you Jack, the members of the Collegian staff give a salute. Harlem Trotters Big Headache 'S corer MUNIZZI SEATING ARRANGEMENT At the University of Washington game there will be a special section reserved for our student body to sit and it will be a requirement for our rooters to sit in this specific spot.

Bishop, who has been picked on several all-American teams the the past two years, rang up 16 points against the colored aggregation. Gail's home is in Sumas. Roy Wark, who has been one of the Viking's leading scorers this season, will give the University boys a preview of what- to expect when they travel to Bellingham on the 20th of January. Roy will be a starter against the Coast Gaurd tomorrow night in the Washington pavilion. Wash. Varsity Here Jan. 20 The University of Washington Huskies will return to the Vikings' liar on January 20. This will renew their rivalry of last year in which the U of W defeated WWC in two thrilling games, packed full of excitement. Coach Hec Edmundson will show an entirely new aggregation when they go against the Blue and White. So to Bellingham basketball fans, it should be the game of the yeaer to see! Coast Guard Outlast Viks Led by Andy Opacich and Neil Hafemeister, a pair of sharpshooters, the Captain of the Port Coast Guard quintet of Seattle outran and outshot the WWC Vikings to take a 62 to 44 verdict in a game played on the hilllop court last" Saturday night. The game started off in fine fashion with both teams hitting the basket consistently, but near the close of the half the C. G.'s took a commanding leaed and at the rest period, led 32 to 24. At the start of the second half the Guardsmen started hitting the hoop from all angles to run up a 44 to 24 lead. Although the Viks, led by Roy Wark, battled hard they could never overcome this deficit. They once closed the gap to 49 to 42, but Opacich and Patterson took charge and shot the Coast Guard into a lead 'they never relinquished.

Although giving the University of Washington an opportunity to see the Viking squad in action, it will afford Coach Lappenbusch the chance to see what the Huskies can do. As both the Huskies and the Vikings are hard running ball clubs, this will really give the fans a wild evening of basketball.

One of President Roosevelt's sons is his officer. • Pfc. Gil Kugel, former student and yell leader from our campus, is stationed somewhere in the Netherlands East Indies. He is working in an Air Force office. In describing the place where he is, he says it is terribly hot and the sun has no mercy. He says, "I live in a tent with my five best friends. You should see our abode. It is really fixed up to kill. We have made , some sixteenth century furniture— and with our electric lights just being installed, we'll live like kings." The base receives late class "A" films from the states which are shown in the outdoor theatre which is classified as about the best theatre in the Pacific. It's very utra-modern and reflects the Air force with various designs. The curtains are beautiful and the stage is huge. But the one thing that interests him most is the most welcome swiming pool which is fed by a mountain stream—and which also is classified by the men as the best in the Pacific.

Lets takea for instance on the improvement in raincoats.. Remember in those olden days when it used to rain the very night the beau was. coming over. So, instead of a nice walk through the park, you had to go for a ride ni his old jaloppy and dodge drips (rain drips); although it did clear up # sometimes.

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.

WWC Glamour Girls Chosen Photogenic qualities are the basis on which twenty girls are being chosen Tuesday as candidates for the the Publications Prom. 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. ' Still remembering their tight squeeze in getting by the Blue and White last season, the Huskies are coming prepared for anything. Mt. 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.

Hoppe, who have done such a swell job of getting the winter show plans drawn up and put into action. A vote of thanks go too, to the advisory committee who have helped plan what we hear will be a tremendous success. And last but not least, we congratulate all the students who tried out for parts. Upon the performers will depend the success and we know that no matter how large or how small your part may be that you will do it even better than we expect. 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. These directions, of course, apply only to small articles, such as combs, sandwiches, shoes and bottles. You cannot get large articles like lawn mowers, baby carriages or a student lounge chair in a newspaper!

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.

For, since in this life the satisfaction of our wants tend but to multiply them, the efforts we put forth to keep ourselves free from them, would defeat their purpose. A man's needs are infinite but less than his wants. He needs but few things. His wants ore as unbounded as is his knowledge of desirable things and his curiosity to sample them. This craving to discover the unknown and to enjoy what this discovery may bring, is the main spring of invention and the search for knowledge. Taken of course in its popular sense, which is its economic sense, the phrase obviously means freedom from the privation of those material goods which all men require to satisfy their daily needs, and the opportunity for the normal exercise of their rational powers in a civilized society which their possessions make possible. JUST SUPPOSE There are those who claim that the modern technological advances have, for the first time in history, made it possible to produce and distribute those goods in such quantities and varieties that all will have enough. Sup: pose this is granted. Even so, there remains the fact that in a country such as ours, of almost boundless resources of men and abundance in the hands of o few, there is near or actual destitution on the part of many. To achieve the ideal freedom from want, something more will be required than mere technological perfection. Victory in the struggle from want will come more as a result of change of heart in the production of wealth, than as a change ; in the methods of production. HOSPICE COROLLARY Next off the typewriter this issue is a communique on the Hospice Inn party. Donning the silvered knee-protectors and the cjiain-mail I forthwith begin. The evening and the affair can be considered as the best college social success so far. There should be more of them. It was good to see former housemembers and graduates come back to the fold for such an event. It not only strength-ens the ties within the house, but with the college and faculty. About fifty couples danced to the syncopating music of John Germain's array of popular records, at the Cedar Chest, overlooking the Sound. They dined at a midnight snack with house rectors Mr. and-Mrs. George Stearns at the head table; and enjoyed the various after-dinner speeches of faculty member Henry Hurd; former students and graduates, Don Eldridge and Har-ley Huhta; and of seniors Jim Gil-day, and yours truly. House prexy Gale Campbell was master of ceremonies. The boys from the Hilltop House did things up proper. Full Schedule Announced The school yell leaders, Charlotte Samples. Merrie Virginia Eggers, and Lloyd Jones led a few yells in this mornings assembly as a rally for the Viking's two games with the EWC Savages tonight and Saturday night. Three new members of the Valkyrie were also partially initiated. Pat Gardiner, Nell Kasola, and Martha Graves each did a stunt in view of all, as part of their initiation. At a later date, probably Wednesday, a pre-final assembly will be given for the princess candidates of the Publication Prom. Addressing the students on Tuesday, January 30, in assembly will be Chaplin Soskin, Jewish Chautauqua of the United States Navy. His topics for the address will be "A Warriors Faith," "Our Common Heritage" and "The Prophets— Builders for a Better World." Chaplain Soskin was graduated from the Hebrew Union College in 1932. He occupied pulpits in Huntington, West Virginia, Stubenville, Ohio, and Port Worth. Texas, before entering the services in 1943. Colorful Carnival Shows Success WRA's annual carnival held last Saturday night in the Junior High gym, proved highly successful, bringing a profit of $42.85. Bright colored booths were featured, dancing and an entertaining floor show added to the attractions. Five dollars, taken in from the sale of cokes, will go to the WWCollegian for sending the college paper to servicemen. Co-chairmen of the event were Nell Kosola and Virginia Pendleton. Students Enjoy Third Concert The third concert of the Bel-lingham Civic Music series presented Mario Berini, young American tenor, in* the program of Monday, January 22. Berini, an Italian, born in Russia and educated in California, made his debut in New York in the title role of Gounod's "Faust" with the San Carlo Opera Company. Mr. Berini, while flying from Chicago to Seattle, misplaced two outstanding arias from the Bizet operas. Though everyone had counted on the Don Jose aria from "Carmen,' his substitutes were enjoyed completely. They were the enchanting Irish "Duna" and "Vienna, City of My Dreams," by Rudolf Suczynki. The variety in his program made it an outstanding performance with a German, Russian, and Italian group. For his encores, he sang the Mexican "Cielito Lindo," a haunting Gypsy melody, and "When I Have Sung My Song," by Ernest Charles. High School Leaders Meet Here Soon Committees for the AWS sponsored High School Leader's Conference, to be held February 16, were drawn up at a meeting held last Monday. They are: luncheon, Crystal Ackerman; tea, Iris Bowden; fashion show, Joan Haggard; discussion groups, Marjorie Sinnett; registration, Janet Brunswig; guide books, Betty Dodge; publicity, Ettu Loring; songs, Virginia Pendleton. There will be a meeting of the committee chairmen next Tuesday, January 30. wwx VOL XLIII—NO: 16 Western Washington College, Bel I ingham, Washington Friday, January 26, 1944 Soph Class Plan Big Weekend As the Eastern .Washington College Savages arrive on the campus this afternoon, the sophomore class are winding up final arrangements for a big week-end;under the chairmanship of Marilyn Anderson. Although tonight is the first game of this week's series and the sophs have handled all the publicity, they were not able to schedule any special halftime or after game entertainment for tonight, but Saturday evening will be different. The Bellingham Pep club drill team will appear during the half time as special guests of the sophomore class and following the game special decorations, coke and good music will make the sport dance in the lounge a little out of the ordinary. Pre-game sales of tickets totaled around $90, and was handled by Jettie McLain, Barbara Caldwell, Roger Nelson, and Roy Wark. Other' committees are: dance, Elaine Dahlgren, chairman; publicity, Ann Easterbrooks, chairman; assembly, Charlotte Samples, chairman. Edens Again Opens Doors to Service Edens Hall girls are arranging a servicemen's open house similar to the one held just before Christmas. ' February 4 is the date set, and an excellent turnout is expected due to the success of the last one. The affair will be informal with dancing, cards, singing and just talking being the main sources of entertainment. The dining room will again be the place where men from nearby bases will gather for the afternoon, with Edens girls as their hostesses. v Virginia Pendleton, new Edens Social Chairman, has appointed Betty Herr as general chairman. She will be assisted by Marilyn Booras, decorations; Charlotte Samples, publicity; Nell Kasola, entertainment; Virginia Sorgenfrei, hostesses; Shirley Olson, refreshments; and Crystal Ackerman on the cleanup committee. In-Service Work Claims Teachers . Working off the campus on the In-service training program are Miss Pearl Merriman and Miss Vivian Johnson, intermediate and primary instructors. At present, Miss Johnson and Miss Merriman are working out of Port Angeles, and will continue there the rest of the quarter. The In-service training, under the State Department of Education, is a program in which individual instruction, seminar or otherwise, is given to the teachers and admhv istratars of counties that have applied for instruction. Appointed instructors meet with the administrators and teachers of various counties, to learn something of their needs and wishes in order to plan a local program; these visits are made to individual teachers requesting special attention three or four times in a six or eight week period. Twenty WWC Coeds Named Would-be Prom Princesres Next Week Judges To Pick Final J e n Prom Contestants; Committees Plan Dance Activities With Whidby Guests From the 91 girls put up by the men on the campus Marilyn Anderson, sophomore; Marilyn Booras, freshman; Janet Brunswig, freshman; Joan Carruthers, freshman; Harriett Clow, senior; Patsy Cooper, freshman; Elaine Dahlgren, sophomore; Merrie Virginia Eggers, sophomore; Irene Eiford, freshman; Pat Gardiner, sophomore; Shirley Hartman, freshman; Clarimonde Hicks, freshman; Margaret Keehn. freshman; Joan Martinson, freshman; Betty Peaster, freshman; Marilyn Shelton, freshman; Marjorie Sinnett, senior; Glennis Sundberg, senior, Jean Travenshek, freshman, Janna Weidemann, freshman, are the twenty girls who were chosen by the Norsemen at their meeting last Tuesday as preliminary princess candidates. President Approves Early Vacation Classes will not be held on February 12 as was previously scheduled but rather school will be in session February 22. Dr. W. W. Haggard announced this change in plans yesterday after meeting with a committee of faculty members. Agitation for a change of dates wa's turned into the board of control in the form of a petition signed by students and was later sent to the President's office where approval was given. This change will give students an opportunity to go to Seattle for the University-WWC game to be held there, and will be in cooperation with the Publications Prom held February 24.

RUTH BURNET Pub. Adviser odiiobiah STILL FIGHTING Keep right on yelling for the Blue and White, kids, because more than anything else, our team needs our support. There is a certain group of students who give their full support to the games, and then there is a group that ( ( apparently doesn't care which way \ the games go. Lloyd Jones is I getting desperate trying to get (some of you to yell and he ^claims if they don't make at least a little noise at the next game he is going to list off the poker faces. Don't let your name be among those on Jonesy's black list but muster all your spirit and be out at the games this weekend and show we're really proud of our team. • TAKE YOUR PLACE If you are at all interested in collegiate activities, there is a place for you to help out this, quarter in any one of the numerous projects now underway. The Winter Show offers a wide variety of jobs for most anyone, artist, manager or just a good follower. Then the Publications Prom has conscripted all past and present publications workers to help with the Prom. The games offer many opportunities for students to prove. their school spirit in helping with the planning of half-time and after-game entertainment. So, if yog would like to help make our school better and stronger, look around for an extra-curricular activity where you can be of service. It won't be hard to find something to do and the people in charge will be glad to have you. • PASS THE WORD Undercurrents of thought have circulated around the campus as always this . quarter, some being satisfied comments/ others being quite the opposite. We will always reserve space in the Collegian for any student opinion that any student would like to submit. If there is something you don't like around school, or something that you especially like, why not write it down and turn it in for publication? Your name need not be printed, just let the edtor know and everything will be set. • OPEN HOUSE Once again the girls of Edens ' Hall will open their doors to welcome service men for an afternoon of homey entertainment. On Sunday, February 4, all servicemen in this vicinity are invited to the Edens Open House, at which the girls will try to provide for -them a few hours of fun like they might, have at home. It is our opinion that the girls should be commended for the work they are doing to entertain the boys. Once there was a Scotchman who reveled in plaid. Then again there were Englishmen, Irishmen, Dutchmen and Swedes they, too,loved plaids and because they liked them so well, they wore them, constantly and faithfully. There were red plaids, blue plaids, green, yellow, and purple plaids. There were plaid shirts, skirts, blouses and even plaid shoestrings. Yep, to glance into the WWC lounge any ole noon hour, you would be greeted with a riot of color, (riot is such an obnoxious word better make that a "variety of color"). To get back to the Scotsman he wore his true clan colors. The other nationalities mentioned just wore colors!! It was a con-glamorous set-up of contesting plaid shoestrings, shirts or skirts and striped sox, (how did those stripes get in there??) If some doubtful person wishes the foregoing statement verified, just check Chad Johnson's red and black plaid lumberman's jacket, combined with his red, blue, yellow, and black striped sox, and brown and white plaid shoestrings. Ah tell ya, they's nothin' like 'em!! On the other hand, cast an eye on Patsy Cooper's scrumptious green and red plaid suit it's the thing in style this season. Bull Durham Stays; Post War Plans "I just got to have a weed!" A very familiar expression around the campus, and most likely on every campus. "Oh, girl, can't you spare just one of those fags?" squeals one of the unlucky "nicotine needers," who failed to obtain his allotment of cigarettes for the week, and/or didn't use the right technique on the sales clerk. Those who weren't so fortunate have started a new fad. Yes, it has come to this. Pipes, and more pipes. Big ones, small ones, square ones, and round ones. Just one puff does the trick ....they can't stand any more. But some have more time to devote to the ever-growing habit, and are rolling their own. Just a dab of golden grain, a small, thir^ piece of paper, and presto! out rolls one of those so round, so firm, so fully packed "tobacco teasers." No more "apple honey" to please one's taste, or "sold American for finer tobacco. Just one of those bags of hay labeled "Bull Durham" to keep them satisfied. What can you do about it? Very simple just stop smoking! Here we are in the hospital, Drinking cokes like fiends; Listening to the radio. And creating awful scenes. DOWNTOWN HEADQUARTERS For WWC Students Fountain,' Food, Drink HARDWICKS Where Friends Meet and Eat Every meal is served in bed, And that's where we eat it, too. Bacon and eggs, steaks and chops, How's Gertie feedin' you? It seems the phone is always ringing For Lois, Gladys, or Pete; And no matter who it may be calling We're always most discreet. Every morning about, eleven, May comes in like a storm. She says, "Open wide," and looks at our throats, And we can't go back to the dorm. We're not any better, we're not any worse, Just living from day to day. But we will get better pretty quick, Or else we'll have to pay. Little Joan runs in and out, Keeping us company. Always knitting her little green squares, And hoping Grandma Dunne won't see. We've scanned the movie mags through and through, And now we'll have our say; The man we'd like to have right here, Is that handsome Turk, Turhan Bey. As far as visitors are concerned, May put a stop to that. But nevertheless, our friends do call, Giving us tit for tat. You ask us, do we study? We answer, huh? what's that? We can't be bothered with trivial things When a book appears, we say "skat!" But now to be perfectly frank with you, It's doing us a lot of good— To stay in the hospital and get well. Wouldn't you come if you could? Valks Sponsor Tea The AWS tea, sponsored by Valkyrie, was held last Wednesday in the AWS lounge from 2:30 to 3:30 p. m. Cheryl Smith, house president, and Miss Snow, adviser, poured. The table was decorated with candles and a centerpiece of pussywillows and greens. Betty Ann Groger was in charge of decorations.

He claims that J. G. and H. O. were giving him a very bad time. Jack Hayward claims that the reason he was parked out at Desolation Point so long last Saturday night was t h a t he was trying to sober up a buddy. JBoy, did a certain group of girls get an eyeful the other day when George (Snipe Stems)' Jurgens was trying to show them the muscles in his birdie legs Jim Gilday was put on the spot last Saturday night when he was asked by a group of people to give his interpretation of married life And with his wife sitting right there. • Have you heard how the sailor found out there was a man in the moon? Well, silly, he went to sea. One tonsil said to another tonsil "Say, this must be Capistrano; here comes another swallow." Then there was the guy who called his girl "water' because she was a chaser. OH, Well you give a girl an inch and she'll make a bathing suit out of it. We thought the following bit of literature would be of interest to the few minority members of WWC.

Among those things that stand out foremost in my mind as things to be cherished when a thought should wander back to WWC a r e - Congenial Sam Carver, who from the first days of mine and many other students on the campus, has been an honest friend and adviser; and when thinking of Sam I will picture him either as swatting a long ball out at Lakeway or catching a miler coming in, with his watch. This to me is Sam Carver. Coach Lappenbusch. known to me only as Lapp, has been as fine a person to work for as any manager could ask, and he has colored my four years here with many outstanding athletic teams. Of "Lapp" we will remember "Arch that back" and "Build those legs up" and then you can fold in your memory and remember that warm "Hello" over the telephone. This • will give you "Lappy'. • Athletes Will Stick Many outstanding athletes will hold treasured places in my mem- . ory glances. A few are: Anor Bus-well, Norm Dahl, Norm Nelson, Bill Ropes, Carl Bartlett, Hank Chamberlain, Dick Dombroski, Dave Harris, Everett Fleming, John Bond.

The Huskies were just too consistent in the field goal department for the hard fighting Viks. Whereas Washington had four men in double figures, the Vikings had only one man, Roy Wark, on speaking acquaintance w.ith the basket. It was nip and tuck for the first few minutes, but gradually the Purple and Gold quintet pulled away to a comfortable lead. Midway in the second half, the Vitamin kids pulled up to trail 42 to 34, but at this point the Husky five rolled in fifteen points while holding the Viks scoreless to take command of the ball game. Vandenburgh, McMillan, Anderson, and Lemman led the Huskies' scoring, while Wark, with 18 counters, paced the Blue and White.

Jim Gilday's Speed Helps Vikings George Dack Will Stay We all think of the beautiful campus when we look back at our WWC days, but very few think of who made those lawns and terraces such that we can be proud of them, George Dack and his crew. George has been one of the persons that has helped and 'advised many students in his 20 years on the hill, and one who has footed many a meal for students who have been short of funds. When thinking of Dack we can just think of that wrinkled old hat and his sharp voice in reprimanding someone for walking on his lawn or speeding on the school drive. Geo.'s office has been a sort of a headquarters for school athletes for many years, and many Saturday bull sessions will hold my memory spotlight. Help er s 'Don Bushel!, who is head of the music department here at WWC, and who has done a great job in contributing his time to help our winter sports program here be a success this year gets a round of applause from the WWCollegian staff and the entire student body. Flash! A returning letterman, and one of the fastest men of the squad is James Gilday, smoothie ball hawk for Lappy's Vitamin Kids. Paul Foster, star WWC forward, probably will miss action the rest of the season because of' an injury that occurred in the UW game last week. Paul received two fractures of his third metacarple bone in his left hand. He has been one of the local's best ballhandlers and floor-workers this season, and had the honor of captaining them in the Homecoming tilt against UBC. His services will be missed greatly on the Viking roster. Blue Barnacles Pledge Slater Pat Frombly and Joan Haggard were chosen as new members of Blue Barnacles last Monday evening, when tryouts were held in the college pool. Betty Slater was pledged as a full member of the club. At the beginning of each quarter, girls who wish to join the swimming club must tryout before a judging committee, which determines their ability in different strokes and dives. With the resignation of Pat Gardiner as secretary, Lois Meyer was elected as her successor in this of-' fice Cheney Has Powerful Five; Perault Leads Easterners Western's Blue and White Will Test Cheney's Power For First Time in Two Years; Sivertson To See Action One of Western's oldest and bitterest rivals will show tonight and tomorrow night when Coach Bob Brumblay brings his giant-killing Eastern Washington College Savages here for two games with Coach Charles Lap-penbusch's WWC Vikings. The Vikings and Savages are the only teams, of the now defunct Winco league, playing basketball this winter, and the winner of these games can claim the championship for 1945. The Eastern Washington quintet has a very enviable record so far this year. They have beaten Washington State, Idaho, Gonzaga, and Gieger Field, to mention a few, while losing once to Washington State in a return game, the Wright Field Air Tecs, and Gail Bishop's Fort Lewis Warriors. 35 to 34, earlier this week. Two outstanding men on the Cheney aggregation are Jack Per-rault and Tom Smith, both members of the championship squad of ' 1942-43. They both stand well over the* six foot mark and give the Easterners plenty of backboard strength. Jack Roffler, a speed merchant from Pine City, will bear a lot of watching as he is also a consistent scorer. To match the speed and shooting ability of the Savages, Coach Lappenbusch has his Vikings in tip-top shape. Gene Sivertson, the big pivot man, seems ready to go again and with Haines Fay and Jack Graham should the blue and white invaluable aid under the. backboard. As things stand now, Bob Pavli- • gt; cek, Chad Johnson, Gene Sivertson, Roy Wark, and Jack Graham probably will compose the starting five when the hill-topperjs take the floor tonight at 8 o'clock. 'Bon Gees' Knock Wolfetfces Over With a score of 18 to 8, the "Bon Gee'. Booeys" defeated the "Wolf-ettes" in a toss-up game last Tuesday night in the college gym. High scorer for the winning team was Barbara Caldwell, who poured in nine points. For the "Wolf-ettes," Lorraine Hatley tilted the score board for six points. Members of the "Bon Gee Booeys" team are Beverly Morgan, Barbara Caldwell, Merrie Virginia Eggers, Jettie McLane, Ruth Williams and Nell Kosola.

Sellingham, Washington Friday, January 26, 1944 Music Fiends Favor Blues By ETTU LORJNG Developing exclusively in the United States through the medium of jazz, the Blues originated in the piercing cries of hurt, shame, and fear that sprang from the holds of slave ships running the South Atlantic. Shouts of joy and wails of pain mingled together, along with folk songs immigrants brought from England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland to Virginia and points further south, started the Blues on their way. With the early part of the century, Blues came into its vigorous own. To white Americans, the negroes brought their tales of sadness and woe. "Blues" was the base of the early recordings of Louis Armstrong, whose trumpet genius formed the base for most of the hot jazz that came afterwards. Jack Teagarden's recording of "Got A Right To Sing the Blues" and "St. James Infirmary"; Bunny Berigan's "Can't Get Started"; Duke Ellington's "'A' Train,' and one of his latest records, "I Didn't Know About You," are part of the history of the Blues. Art Tadtum, partially blind pianist, also helped the Blues on their way towards success by playing for cafe society. Modern leaders such as Charlie Ventura, Cohan Hawkins, Mjbggsy Spanial, Toots Munsello, and Stan Kenotn caught oh to the true meaning and proceeded to further the career of the Blues. The last named band, the newest to hit the bright lights, made a recording of "Gambler's Blues" that can be used as a wonderful example of the success of this music. Mildred Bailey's interpretation of "Worrisome Blues," and Billie Hol-liday's "I Cover the Waterfront," are two examples of the Blues sung the way they're meant to be sung. There is great joy in the Blues, Ragans' Ramblings Gale Griggs is conspicuous by her absence this week. She's home seeing that man of hers who has a short leave. Have a good time, Gale, but hurry back. Have you heard Ruth Mclnnes bemoaning the fact that she has a car? Strange, but true. Ask her where the keys to her car are, and you, too, will wonder who was walking past when she locked up the other night. Elerine Shannon was pleasantly surprised by a visit from her sister Geraldine, this week-end. Home-made hot fudge Sundaes! That was the menu for a late-evening .snack on Thursday evening and when Ruth read us those Dorothy Parker short stories afterward— well, it was almost as good as a comfortable chair by the fire, eh, girls? ' We regret to report that our house-mother was taken to the hospital early this week for a major operation.

Dr. Haggard talked to this club at their meeting Thursday, on "Post War Plans for the School." Prospective members should see Glennis Simdberg, president. • ; International Relations Club is sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The main object of this club, which meets twice a month, is to discuss the world problems facing us today. Discussioins are informal, and require little outside study. Every few months the endowment sends a selection of books covering all the current problems of the world. i In the past, discussion has includ-ed such topics as the Polish question, Dumbarton Oaks and the Greek problem.

Miss Frances Simas, new Alkisiah adviser, entertained the members of that club wtih a talk about China and an interesting display of art objects which she has collected from the Orient. Miss Simas was in Shanghai at the time of a bombing, but escaped on a Japanese boat which was being shelled from both sides. Results of the club's Monday evening election are: Elaine Dahl-gren, vice president; and Donna Harmon, treasurer; Betty Herr, is president. • Blue Triangle held its Wednesday evening business meeting in the Edens Hall club room.

Zurline Relates Invasion Tales Wiht the Army Engineers somewhere in France is Staff Sergeant Prank ,kMoose" Zurline, former Viking center and local high school star. "Moose," who has been in France since the first part of the invasion, has written from out there on the western front giving some very interesting experiences and viewpoints. During one of their short rest periods, before moving up, he and a buddy, Tom Sadller, from Seattle, made a motorcycle out of three German cycles which were slightly the worse for wear. They tore around the area on it, hitting "maybe 15 mph when we weren't pushing it out of the mud, but had a lot of fun on it anyway." Zurline, who's outfit charged across France with Patton's Third Army, has recently been transferred to the Seventh Army; he spent sometime in Saarboufg, all the while marveling at how the war left the city comparatively untouched. Sgt. Zurline and his men have been keeping pretty busy building bridges and roads for our fighting armies, but have had a little time for souvenir collecting. He captured a stamp collection that one of the "Krauts" left behind in his rush to leave; the collection also has some canceled American stamps in it. "It's not all.work over there," he went on to say. "At any convenient opportunity where a clear patch of ground is nearby, out comes the platoon's pigskin and we have a game of football. Some of the boys get pretty banged-up at times, but it relaxes our minds." "Moose" is looking forward to coming back to_WWCE after the war, and a few more seasons of ball. He adds that he sure appreciates receiving the Collegian—it makes home seem a lot closer. Nu-Way Shoe REBUILDERS 107 W.

Friday, April 14,1950 - An ever-expanding Western Washington College and its hilltop site above the city of Bellinghamprovide a significant picture of community and educational progress. Already occupied, the new Artsbuilding (foreground) is an outstanding example of the achievements effected by this school inexpanding its physical facilities. The Physical Education building, Mens Residence hall, new Auditorium-Music building, Library and Campus school are each products of a healthy and increasing interest inhigher learning and WWC. Five Questions on Special Ballot In Coming Election Assembly to Air Issues Five propositions, at latest count, await the decision of the college student body in a special electionto be held in the near future. All five questions concern the future existence of fraternities and honorsocieties on campus. The questions are as follows: 1. Shall fraternities and sororities be allowed at,WWC? 2. Shall social fraterniites and sororities be allowed at WWCE? 3. Shall honorary andprofessional fraternities, societies, and clubs be allowed at WWC? 4. Are you in favor of a nationalhonorary fraternity or society in which a group of members from within the organization decides who isworthy and eligible for consideration to membership? 5. Are you in favor of a national honorary fraternity or society whose members are admitted on an objective merit basis? * The last two proposition were con-C l # tained on a petition received by the Oa~Cndirm6n tO Board of Control at its meeting this TackleDetails Of Campus Day Spring Quarter Enrollment Reaches 1,488 Enrollment at WesternWashington college for the spring quarter has reached 1,488, according to President W. W.Haggard. This figure represents a 20 percent increase over the enrollment of spring, 1949.Customarily anticipating a decline in spring enrollment because of seasonal employment and otherfactors, Dr. Haggard said that the registration is significantly high, as it is within 60 of the number ofstudents enrolled in classes during winter quarter. The 20 percent increase over the previous year'senrollment is in line with the "upward trend evident throughout "the year. The fall enrollment exceededthe previous fall by 16.3 percent, while the winter enrollment was 19.4 percent greater than that of theprevious winter. Dr*, Haggard estimated that approximately 1,000 of the spring quarter students areenrolled in teacher education. Co-op To Pay Weds. From the San Juan room, Safeway, and theAmerican Legion receipts were turned in for Co-op dividends during the past week. These receiptswere cleverly and carelessly mixed in with the co-op receipts which t h is year are yielding a five percent dividend. Four hundred and sixteen students turned in receipts for the dividend. When these weretotaled the amount came to $13,284.96. The average return of receipts was $31.93 with individualreturns varying from $1.10 to $144.75. One dollar and fifty-five cents will be the average dividendreturned. These dividends will range from .05 to $7.23, however. The student facilities committee, whototaled the returns, announced that Wednesday, April 19, will be the. first day that money can, bereturned. Students should call in the Co-op for their dividend on that day. vGa reer Day' Offers Study ofCampus to High School Pupils Converging upon Western Washington College for a "Career Day", view oflocal educational facilities will be 300 high school students, Tuesday, April 18.

Adviser _ _ _.Monty Jones Congratulations to a Former Student Congratulations from WWC to state superintendent of public instruction, Mrs. Pearl Wanamaker, for her selection as the outstanding woman of the year inthe field of education by the Women's National Press club. Mrs. Wanamaker attended this institutionback in 1919 and began her teaching career in a one-room rural school when only 18. She has been oneof the nation's foremost educators as president of the National Education association and the NationalCouncil of State School officers. Mrs. Wanamaker's award is a tribute to the state of Washington and its school system, which she has supervised since 1941. Commie Hysteria Endangers Freedom Inconvicting two Hollywood writers of contempt of Congress for refusing to tell the un-American activitiescommittee whether they were members of the Communist party, a U. S. court of appeals declared:"The right of free speech is not absolute, but must yield to national interests justifiably thought to be oflarger importance. The same is true of the right to remain silent." This week, the highest court in the landassented to that decision by refusing to review the case. Thus, in this hysteric era, a dreadful blow hasbeen dealt to freedom, ironically, not by the communistic enemies of freedom, but by the U. S. supremecourt, traditionally the inmost redoubt of liberty. A dangerous precedent has been established. Power-hungry, publicity-crazy congressmen now have sacred sanction for wantonly invading the citizen's privacy and damaging his reputation. Under the guise of democratic procedure, a dictatorial power has beenassumed by the government far more monstrous in its potentialities than any evils of the so-called"socialistic trend." Letters to the Editor The WWCollegian welcomes letters from its readers on anymatter of general interest. No anonymous letters will be printed, but the writer's name will be withheld onrequest. Preferably, letters should be typewritten and not more than 250 words in length. Editor WWCCollegian: There seems little doubt that Ann Pearson has done a magnificent job in outlining heropposition to honorary societies on the campus. Yet I do not feel that she has told the whole story. Ishall attempt therefore to illuminate the other half of the picture in order that our students may be inthe position to cast a fair and intelligent ballot when and if the issue is put to vote. The first point in Ann's argument compares the virtues of the "W" club and the Scholarship society with the qualificationsnecessary for membership in the Kappa Delta Pi. It is true that the Kappa Delta Pi would be necessarilylimited but not so limited as the Scholarship society. At present, a person with a 3.3 grade-point average may be admitted to the Scholarship society, while a person with a 3.4 average is rejected. But that is a mere technicalityâ€” so much like the technicalities which are offered in opposition to KappaDelta Pi. The second point in Ann's argument states that we already have an organization on thecampus to honor high grade-point averages. This is quite true but Kappa Delta Pi is not a scholarshipsociety; it is rather a professional organization for educators. As such it does not overlap either thedomain of the Scholarship society nor the "W" club. And, as an educational organization, I'm sure that is not so out of place in a college of education. It seems surprising to me, that with such a greatemphasis on, education here at Western we have never had an education By BOD CARDWELL Herehe is, and the request is for a tale; the kind of tale that most old timers tell with relish, and with regretfulmemory of days in which every man, they believe, was a king, strong and God-fearing. They open theirtales carefully, tell them slowly; this is a talent, the skill of the storyteller. If they should stop in themiddle of a narrative the listener isn't aware of an awkward intermission. Perhaps they want to increase suspense; maybe they want to better describe one of their kings, pausing to allow his full figure to reflect on the mirror of their mind. These are men to whom modesty means nothing. In the light of theirjudgment a man is strong or, he's weak. Younger generations are expected to realize that theseremaining veterans of a frontier era are gt; naturally strong men; they have grappled with the wind andthe cold and the land. They have survived the most ferocious hindrances standing in the way of mendetermined to build a new nation. Such a person was John Donovan of Coos Bay, Oregon, whom we-metrecently on a journey by bus. An aged, almost fierce looking man, his white hair blowing in, the rushingwind, John clenched his fists. "You've got to be more careful about how you use this word 'Indian'," hesaid, his blue eyes cold and snapping. "They're the only true Americans. The white man took the landaway from the Americans, didn't heâ€”left them nothing but promises. A promise made is a debt unpaid.It's true isn't it? Let me tell you thisâ€”the land rightfully belongs to 'em. It's funny, you know, the way Italk. I helped take it away from them. Now there's no place left to go. It was all for nothing, I thinksometimes. But we've got respect anywayâ€”respect for them." THE PIONEER SPIRIT John is the lastof the fading westerners, the men who marched to the Pacific coast not fearing but welcoming thefuture. Suddenly they found that the shores of the ocean stood in their way. John Steinbeck has written,about them in his searching story "The Leader of the People." To them we owe our deepest appreciation,for with calloused hands and courageous hearts they built the foundation of the steps which led to a vast and powerful country, to a new and greater land. As a token of our appreciation we must listen to themwith patience; they still have lessons to impart. Yet, the philosophy of finality cannot be for us. Theocean does ,not exist to impede us. The most important heights still stand for today's westerners toclimb, the greatest journeys yet to be made. honorary society. The next point that Ann brings upconcerns people who join such organizations for prestige. Let's be honest with ourselvesâ€”or betterstill consult the psychology departmentâ€” it's true there are a few people left in this world who still likeidentification with a groupâ€”for prestige if you like. And now we can examine the real issue. WillKappa Delta Pi be only a mutual admiration society or will it really admit worthy students tomembership? That depends not on the organization of the society but rather on the standards of thewhole school. Kappa Delta Pi requires that its members be seniors; it proposes to select them out ofthe third-quarter junior group on a basis of scholarship and educational interests. It is true that thephrase "commendable personal qualities" is also used. A much overworked phrase to be sure, butnevertheless almost a requirement for any teaching job in the state. No one is naive enough to believethat there are seniors in this school who would be rejected on that basis. Consider, however, the seniorwho would be chosen for membership. I believe, and I'm sure that you will agree with me, that he will bequite as mature as Ann, quite as capable of judging right from wrong, and democratic enough to choosehis own successor on the basis of merit. - In concluding, I hope that you will consider this letter asnothing more than the other side of the question, (Continued on Page 8) Noel Coward, Here's â€¢ OUTH S t ! â€¢ .

Student Veep Busy Man,Has No Time for Courting Widows By PAUL GILLIE, Board of Control Secretary (This is the second in aseries of articles about the student body government. The next feature will deal with the Board of Control.) In many organizations, the position of vice-president is an easy post to fill, which does not require itsoccupant to divert too much time from his other occupations, such as courting widows. This is not true,however, at WWC, where being number two man in a student body of 1500 is a demanding job. Theprincipal duties of the vice-president are inescapable, being definitely stated in the constitution. Theyinclude supervising assemblies and elections, and representing the Board of Control on the Interclubcouncil. He is also a member of the Board'sâ€” of Control. At least once each quarter/ Loren Rankin,this year's vice president, is busy with the student body elections. After the nominations from thevarious clubs have been certified by the ICC, Loren takes over. He arranges for voting machines with I the county auditor's office. He then has the task of getting out the vote. Loren and his election committeeare constantly devising new ways of persuading Western students to do their duty and vote. He hassomeone on hand throughout the polling hours to check off the names of students as they vote. When the last ballot has been cast, he has the job of computing the final, official tally.". Loren has presided at the two election assemblies held this year and at one other student assembly. For the other studentassemblies, he has appointed students to do the honors, believing that it is better to give morestudents an opportunity to participate. Right now, he is work-iing on a committee with President BillJones, Marion James, and several faculty members, arranging next year's Artist and Lecture seriesprogram. LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON A future teacher, Loren received his degree at the end of winterquarter and hopes to be teaching in the Intermediate grades soon. He is interested in social studies,mathematics, and after-school playground work. He is very enthusiastic about teaching now, althoughhe had dreams of becoming a civil engineer when lie entered WWC in 1947 His dad, Lee Rankin,director of physical education and health in the Bellingham schools, claims that Loren was influenced inhis decision to become a teacher by those three-months- long vacations. The senior Rankin alsoattended this college and like his son was a student body vice president. Loren saw much of the country during his high school days.

Brewster Commends Authors In Review of'The Writer' If you have not yet seen a copy of "The Writer" you are advised to do so. This little magazineis published by the English department and contains outstanding examples of poetry and prosewritten by students. This particular issue contains three short stories, an essay, and six poems. Inreading through the entire magazine one cannot help but admire the excellence of this writing done byseven non-professionals. Nita Clothier has contributed "Uneasy Light," a short story about Parson SamHod and how*" he first "got religion." Sam Hod was the village ne'er-do-well and representative ofeverything that "poor white trash" suggests. He considered the negro, Will, an "uppity nigger" and soattempts to elevate himself by lowering the position of Will. Here you have the kernel of the story. Youwill find it well worth reading. Regardless of whether Mrs. Clothier has lived in the south or not, sheseems to have caught the spirit of the present day southern philosophy. It is not easy to write storiesin which negroes are central characters. There is a tendency among amateur writers to become eithercrusaders or comedians wflenever they think about the position of the negro. Some become extremelybitter. But Mrs. Clothier is none' of these. Here is portrayed the southern citizen who attempts togive the negro a fair hearing but ^still finds it difficult to do so. "The Long Due Demise of CharleyJohnson," by Joe King, has a touch of both the comedy and the tragedy about it. The author takes youon a trip through Deception Pass with a ' rough tugboat captain and his inexpert helper, CharleyJohnson. The early portions of the story seem to be somewhat artificial and lack a degree of clarity butthe story gains considerably in interest after they start the trip through the Pass. The description of therip-tide and its effects upon both boat and captain are very well done. Although your critic has neverexperienced anything of this sort, King is sufficiently convincing so that the reader believes itmust be as he tells it. The third short story is, "Reveille At Six," by Carol Eatdorf. The story takes placein 1953 and attempts to record the feelings of, an air crew after dropping "the bomb" on an undesignatedtarget. This author has used her imagination to depict the event although there is little that is new in thestory. The same thing has been:. told . frequently; the fact that "the bomb" is used and the date is in the future does little to add to it. Miss Batdorf has written some good descriptive passages although there is a feeling that she has found her materials in movies and books rather than in personal experiences.As she has not seen and heard it happen, the story seems to lack veracity. The essay by Walter Goetzis entitled, "The Purposes of An Ideal College." The article suffers from over-simplification of atremendous problem. Needless to say, one could write a book upon this very thing which Goetz' seemsto dispose of so completely in two pages. The author : is to be complimented upon the fact that he hasgiven some serious thought to the problem, however. The poem contributed by Goetz was moreimpressive to this writer. It is "Boy On The Shore," and has some excellent 'examples of imagery. - in it. ; Maurice Bright has written an untitled poem of three verses. He has fulfilled the requirements ofmeter and rhyme without seeming to force his thoughts into the pattern. Lorena Whitaker wrote"Completion," a very interesting and charmingly philosophical love poem. She also wrote "ThroughDarkness," and â€¢ "The Mirror." All are very good. The thought, of each is clear without being obvious,and represents ah effort on the part of the writer to; analyze life and its meaning. Paul Gillie has writtentwo poems, â€¢â€¢ "His Ears Are Open" and "Eternity! Is Now." Of the two, the latter, seemed to besuperior. It showed an adequate command of both language and poetic form to express a greatthought. In the opinion of this writer, it was the best poem of the book. The editors of this issue were:John Graham, editor-in-chief; Kenneth Porseth, short story; and Walter Goetz, poetry. All three are tobe complimented on the quality of the material chosen. L. W.

The Viking team picked up 9% points and gave up 5% points to the Ranger five.

Battersby Scene of JFalcon-Viking Tilt; Squad Is Confident By HALGRONSETH Â£f Rainâ€”rainâ€”rain and more rain. :* â€¢ If it will just stay away this afternoon it will bebaseball at Battersby field as the Vikings open their season against the Seattle Pacific Falcons Rain has helped the blue and white supporters, as the hilltop men were supposed to open their season in Seattlelast Tuesday. The game was rained out, so now the opening game will be played on home territory. 5 The Viks will-return the seven inning doubleheader on Monday afternoon in Seattle. â€¢!â€¢ ^ : :â€”â€”SPC BEATEN ii": Thereisn't too much known about ;the personnel of the Falcon nine. jThey have played two games and tlost them both to a strong Central ^Washington team. The Wildcats Sthis year have an all-veteran squad, with a pitching staff sprinkled with â€¢three-year lettermen. Last Saturday, the CWCsquad took two from the Falcons, with two pitching veterans combining to take a no-hit, no-run gamefrom the big city boys. FIRST GAME Western's 1950 edition is as yet an untried squad, u but coachJoe Martin feels that his team will be better this year than his 1949 squad. The probable starting lineupfor the Viks has only four lettermen, with the other four positions taken by new men, and the pitchingassignment still hanging in the balance. According to Martin, any of the six right handers could startthe first game. Lettermen Dick Patterson and Russ Nielson along with non-lettermen Chuck Brown,Gus Franks, Jim Koloc, and LeRoy Wis-singer make up the mound staff. - The catching assignment has been given to Bob Gates, the two year letterman. Gates has been near the top in the hitting department the past two years for the Viks and no doubt Martin would be pleased to see the big boy's name againhigh on that list. INFIELD STARTERS Along with Gates, the right side of the infield will be handled byveterans. Hal Norgaard playing the initial sack and Bob Hughes at second. Both are fancy boys in thefield, with Hughes usually hitting the better of the two. The rest of â€¢the infield will be new to those fans' who followed the Blue and White last year. Cliff Hash gets the nod at the hot corner. Cliff has -tieenjfielding cleanly and hitting harder than any of the other third base candidates. The shortstop position isstill in doubt, as Bob Nunamaker played for the Viks a couple of seasons ago, while Schireman is atransfer from the University of Idaho. Both have been showing up good in the field and at the plate.OUTFIELD NEW In the outfield there is one letter-man, while the other two spots are taken by transfers.Ted George, a transfer from Olympia Junior college in Bremerton, will open in the short left field.George seems to have that extra burst of-speed that could mean the catching of that long fly ball, andsaving the pitcher lots of trouble. Besides his defensive ability, he has been hitting the ball hard in inter-squad games. Center field also has a transfer, Clyde Brown, who is from the University of Washington. Brown played frosh ball for the Huskies last year.; He is a lefthander in the field, but hits from the rightside of the plate. The big right field section of Battersby will be handled by Norm Hash, the onlyletterman gardner on the starting lineup. Incidently, the two Browns, Chuck the pitcher, and Clyde theoutfielder, are not related. The two men that answer to the name of Hash, Cliff the third baseman, andNorm the right-fielder are cousins. STARTING TIME The doubleheader will start at 1:30, with studentsbeing admitted on their student body cards. There \ will be two seven inning games, so if you have lateclasses, you can still catch the second game. Russ Nielson, letterman, is one of the leading hurlers onthe Viking nine.

Inthe other two games the Queers slammed a 20-5 win over the Yanks and the Hospice stopped theBlasters with a 9-6 victory. There was some excellent playing in these games and it promises to getbetter as the season progresses. In the V-ball tourney the Yanks were blanked by Mathes with a 0-0 to15-15. In the only other games played this week the Hospice eked out a 15-15 to the Flunkies 14-10.

JOHN GRAHAM. Letters to the Editor (Continued from Page 2) April 11, 1950 To The Editor: The April 7 issue of the WWCol-legian has aroused our interest to the extent that we see a certain prevailing bias to all the articles, as well as a dearth of facts. "We" are an interested group of three education majors who have decided to dosome research on the organization known as The Educational Forum, or Kappa Delta Pi. Here' is anintroduction to the facts as we found them: During the fall quarter a group of 11 graduate students ineducation organized themselves for the purpose of establishing a chapter of the above-mentionedsociety here, at Western in order "to benefit the graduate program." Kappa Delta Pi was chosenbecause it was the only one of three major educational hon-oraries which included in its membershipboth women and men. To do the groundwork and numerous chores connected with launching suchan organization, a nucleus of persons was chosen who were known to be interested and who met thequalifications as they are stated in the 1948 edition of the Constitution and By-laws of Kappa Delta Pi. On examination of these By-laws, Section 3 (a), which pertains to membership states: "The minimumqualifications for. under-graduates shall be full junior collegiate standing; general scholarship of gradeabove the upper quartile point of the institution, school, or college (the school of education and therespective colleges from which the candidates are selected), the total previous collegiate record of thestudent to be taken into acount; work in education completion during the current session to the extent of at least 15 or 20 quarter hours if elected during the senior year; the indication that there will be acontinued interest in- the" field of education; and a manifestation o'f desirable personal habits andleadership attributes."* (p. 15) It may be of some interest to" note that Kappa Delta Pi, which definesitself as "an honor society in education," had its origin June 8, 1911, under the laws of the state ofIllinois as an honorary fraternity in education. In 1932 the name was changed to Kappa Delta Pi, anHonor Society in Education. The original Kappa Delta Pi came into being as an outgrowth of theIllinois Education club, established in 1909. + (p. 2) There are other sections of articles of the By-laws which pertain to membership, but which are too extensive to quote here; however, at the risk oflaboring the point, it seems appropriate to include the following statements: " . . . One hundred fifty-three chapters have been installed in various types of institutions: 23 in state universities; 18 in statecolleges; 80 in state teachers colleges; five in land grant colleges; two in city teachers colleges; five inmunicipal universities; 20 in.privately endowed colleges and universities." + lt;PP- 8-16) "The totalnumber of those who have been initiated into the various chapters approximates 65,000." + (P- 4)"Candidates invited to active membership in chapters are properly qualified students of junior, senior,or graduate rank, and members of the faculty." + (p. 4) "Both men and women are admitted tomembership. There are no restrictions as to race or religion." + (p. 4) - There are three types of chapters in this society: alumni chapters, composed of former members, institutional chapters, composed ofundergraduate and graduate students, a n d faculty members; Laureate chapters^ composed ofoutstanding leaders in education. With respect to this last-mentioned type, here are some of thenames which appear on its roster: Charles A. Beard, James B. Conant, George Washington Carver, A r t h u r H. Compton, Elwood P. Cubberly, John Dewey, Abraham Flexner, George S. Counts, Lewis M.Terman, Edward L\ Thorndike, George D. Strayer, Robert Hutchins. The activities of the societyinclude such things as providing scholarship funds, purchasing books and equipment, advisingprospective students, as well as contributing significant research to the field of education. It is offurther interest to note that in the society's Roster of Chapters there are listed such well-knowninstitutions as Greely, Columbia, Oregon State, Central Washington College of Education, whichwas established in 1938, and Eastern Washington College of Education, whose chapter was establishedin 1936. The (*) footnote refers to the Constitution and By-laws, Kappa Delta Pi, revision of 1948. The(+) footnote refers to a pamphlet entitled Kappa Delta Pi.

Two-day Election 'Battle of Year Brought Out 936 WWC Voters Eddie Hickenbottom,senior from Enumclaw, was elected president of Western Washington college student body in thegeneral election Tuesday and Wednesday, May 2-3, defeating three other candidates for the top* spot inthe student government. Harry Pagels was named as his assistant, taking over the duties of the vice-president, Lex Milton and Ruby Johnson were elected to positions on the Board of Control, each for a one-year term of ^"office. In the two days of voting 936 WWC students c a s t ballots, slightly less than two-thirds of the total enrollment. Hickenbottom scored a .41- vote lead over his nearest rival, stickercandidate Don Minahan, who received 275 votes against the winner's 316. The race for the four-quarterwoman position saw Ruby Johnson win by a one-vote margin over Carol Irwin, 298-297. Harry Pagelsscored an easy victory over his opponents, John Calkins and June Carrick, winning b y a margin ofmore than 100 votes and compiling a total vote of 376, the largest vote cast for any candidate in theelection. Lex Milton, in winning the other Board of Control position, jreceived the second highest totalof the day, 320 votes.

He came through with an ideal day for the favorite American; sport Wehave to score an error, however, on the Viking fans who muffed an opportunity to support their team whenit opened its home conference play. It was the first home conference game of the season; the Vikingswere fielding a team that had been undefeated in six starts. Yet there was only a mere handful ofspectators in the Battersby bleachers and the home season started undramatically with a curtannouncement over the public address system. - To be sure, the team dropped the two contests. But the score might have been different if a more enthusiastic crowd had been on hand to root for a Vikingvictory. It was only after an unfavorable decision by the umpire late in the second game that the crowdcame to life with any display of loyal supporting spirit. Our Pep committee, which did a grand job duringfootball and basketball season, was evidently caught with a serious dose of spring fever. Otherwise theywould have organized a gala celebration including a pep band, a parade through town to the ball park,and appropriate opening ceremonies. The opening ceremonies might have given our President Haggard achance to demonstrate his pitching prowess by tossing out the traditional first pitch. It's too late tochange things this year. But next year, when spring rolls around, let's be prepared to give baseball a realwelcome, Western style! ; Student Opinion Reflected In Board's Records for %^50 By PAUL GILLIE ,Keeping up with student opinion is one of the most important functions of the Board of Control. Asguardians of _ the student activity fund, they also have the important responsibility of allotting fund todepartments and clubs in a fair and equitable manner so that each student at WWC receives thegreatest possible benefit for his money. As this year's Board of Control completes its business, they can look back on several progressive accomplishments, most of which originated within the student bodybut were completed by the board in its attempts to answer the demands of public opinion in a rapidlygrowing student body. As an example, many students questioned the lack of college-sponsoredrecreation after the home football games. They felt that there was a need for a mixer or some form oforganized entertainment to fill the gap after the evening contests ended. The question was passed on tothe board by vice, president Loren Rankin. The board acted upon this definite expression of studentopinion by sponsoring the first such after-game mixer on the night of the Vikings' last home game. The experiment proved successful and the board went on record as recommending the continuance of this policy during the next football season. Later in the year the board became aware of sentiment infavor of having the library open, for study during assembly hours. The increased enrollment and thelimited capacity of the auditorium made 100 percent assembly attendance impossible and manystudents reported-that they could use the time to good advantage if the library were open. _ Although the board has no authority to change the library hours, they made a further investigation of stu dent opinionwith a questionnaire and used their findings to recom mend to the administration that the library beopened during assemblies The faculty accepted the report and obligingly voted to grant the request,NEW ACTIVITIES The board has made many other notable and historic decisions this year as a directresult of Western's continued growth. They adopted the "W club's plan of presenting WWC to the highschools of the state and financed the venture. A program of awards for members of the band was.incorporated into the by-laws, giving this hardworking group a well-deserved recognition. The revival ofdebate as an intercollegiate activity at WWC had the support of the Board of Control. The excellentrecord which the team has made in its first year justifies the financial support given it and debate isnow expected to become a regular part of the student-supported intercollegiate activities. Much of theboard's time is taken up with routine matters such as granting small amounts to variousorganizations,'permitting use of the lounge for evening meetings, and general discussion of studentaffairs. The above events, however, stand out in the year's record as unmistakable signs of progressmade by a student governing body that is serving the needs of the students. n Life of Horace BoogeBy GARY BBANDNER Horace Bodge was a pessimist's pessimist. He had a sincere belief that nothinggood was ever going1 to happen in the world; anyway, not to him. When Horace enrolled in college hewas. certain that lie would flunk out within six weeks. But he was now a senior, a fact which he couldneither explain nor understand, and which he accepted as a snafu somewhere in the grand scheme ofthings. Horace had made his will at the age of four and every morning since he had been honestlysurprised to awake and find himself still alive. Liquor, he was convinced caused ulcers, so he vowed tolay off the stuff completely on alternate Tuesdaysâ€”a vow he only occasionally broke. Probably Horace's pet worry, and the one that labeled him as a little whacky, was his conviction that he was going to bestruck by lightning. So sure was he of this that for 12 years he had constantly carried an 18-inch lightning rod. Well it happened one day that a woman came Into Horace's life. Ladle Tranell, a pretty littlesophomore in his biology class, had fallen in love with him. God knows why! Horace was sure that allshe was interested in -was his money or his car. But then he pondered the fact that he had precious little money and no car. Here was a discripancy. He considered the possibility that she was trying to makesome other guy Jealous, but when they became engaged and set their wedding date, his faith in theInevitable Doom began to shake. That faith started to crumble when Lucile's father offered him a high-paid position in his firm and it smashed into dust one Sunday morning when Hor- ' aceywoke up not onlyhappy to be^alive but actually looking forward to the day. He looked up at the Vight bine sky and listened to the singing of the birds and a strange noise issued from his throat. Horace Booge was laughing. Hefairly leaped into his clothes and as he started out the door to Lucile's house, through sheer habit hepicked up his old lightning rod. He stopped, and with a sudden, unaccustomed smile he broke it acrosshis knee. * * * "Hey, did you see what happened?" "Yeah, no sooner did that guy come out of thathouse over there than a big black cloud rolled up out of nowhere and let go one bolt -of lightning thatburned him to a crisp. Poor guy had a big grin on his faceâ€”never knew what hit him." Yours truly hasbeen under the naive impression that a recent election served to settle the qtiestionTas to just who wasentitled to superior privileges around the campus. For those VIP's who are) so rushed that they feelprivileged to crowd the noon line at the lounge coffee bar, we should like to suggest the us^ of specialpassports so that the "common man" dare . not question their superiority. Perhaps we need an honoraryfraternity to give these ingratiating char-- acters some special recognition for their marvelousachievements. vi * * * â€¢â€¢â€¢;.;- lt;Â»' She: "There's just one thing I want to tell you before you goany further."

I flunked too." C- * ** "Uncle, what is a bachelor*" "Well, Junior, a bachelor is a man who did not have a car when he went to college." The little girl's mother sent her to the druggist-to get something to stop palpitation. By the timethe chUd reached the pharmacy, she had forgotten what she was sent for, and when the druggist askedher what she wanted, she thought and thought for several ; minutes and then said, "Mother needssomething that will stop population."

"Tentative budgets were submtted by department heads for men's athletics, women'sathletics, music, WWGollegian, Division of Drama, and debate team. Some of the departments in their requests exceeded the 15 percent increase over this year's expenditures previously authorized by the board! Eventually, however, the different budgets will be adjusted to conform to the estimated incomenext year from student activity fees and other sources such as athletic gate receipts and Collegianadvertising. Major items of increase were the Music department's request for money for new bandinstruments, and the athletic department's request for funds to support junior varsity teams. Althoughboth these items received favorable comment from board members, they involve large expenditures. Theboard also has the problem of financing the furnishings for the new student lounge in the Auditorium-music building. Al Magnuson requested that the salaries of the Collegian editor and business managerfor this year be increased to the amount specified in the Navigator which is higher than the budgetedfigure. The board decided to postpone action on the request until they can investigate the reason.for thediscrepancy be-ween the-two figures. Bob Sarvis reported that the process of accepting CWC's offer to present their variety show at WWC has progressed with the securing of the approval of the presidentand the dean of women. The student facilities committee is working on the arrangements for thepresentation of this program sometime during spring quarter.

TONI AND ROSI GRUNSCHLAG Duo Piano Recital Offered In Assembly This Tuesday Toni and RosiGrunschlag will offer a duo-piano recital on the college stage Tuesday, May 9, at the 10 a. m. assembly.- Born in Vienna/Toni and Rosi Grunschlag studied as scholarship pupils with EmilSauer at the Stateacademy and'graduated with highest honors in June, 1938. They came to America in 1939 and have been working with Robert Casadesus since making their debut at Town Hall in 1945. * The New York Timesheralded the Grunschlags' performance with these words, "The playing of the young artists was quite asinteresting as the program, for they played with taste and intelligence, with expression and with asympathetic. and resilient tone not of ten enough heard in two-piano performances.

And althoughnumerous students'were using an ointment which was available in the nurse's office to help relievepain and aid the dry skin caused by excess, sUn this was not as beneficial as lotion applied beforethe skin Was burned. Â£hoif Pfans Tour To High Schools Following up the winter tour, the college choir will give a sers-ies of concerts at various high schools in the surrounding counties. Beginning May 11, two concerts will be given; one, at the Sedro- Woolley high school, the other at Anacortes.

Themeeting will begin at 9:45 a. m. in the Parish hall at 14th and Taylor streets. President Eleanor Wileyextends an invitation to all interested students and faculty members to attend. â€¢ffte MAniy ARrrmlistener was able to concentrate on the music for its own sake, as at a solo piano recital." Critics for theNew York Herald Tribune wrote, "The Viennese sisters observed a high technical standard, bothindividually and in the balance and co-ordination of the" performances as a whole. These revealed themutual sympathy and unity of interpretative outlook which is necessary for good two-piano playing."Mttivky Poll Findings Significant In the spring of 1949 the Personnel committee of Western Washingtoncollege, composed of students and faculty members under the guidance of Dr. Ffeehill, undertook tomeasure the adequacy of student activities in the college. Recognizing the activities as inherently vitaland essential parts of the total education program, the committee realized that-it was their task tomake the activities as valuable and as available as possible. In order to carry out this task it-was foundnecessary to first discover what things are available, how widely these things were used, and whatservices they perform. After a considerable length of time ttie committee has completed the survey andassembled the resulting data, in useable form. In the weeks tocome the Collegian will publish parts of thesurvey data to show the extent fo wMch the various Copies of tlie survey results are available in theResearch department, the Associat-* ^^ed: ^Student Body office, -and the â€¢ coHegian off ice. 'â€¢'?; In the beginning of the survey^ it '' was necessary to make certain assumptions. The. first of these wasthat activities develop as a result of felt needs and are most adequate when /L their existence makes forawareness of met needs. It followed, thenÂ» t^* a (,twdent Questionnaire activities. - â€¢ In order tosecure arid organize this student-; opinion it was necessary to make a second major assumption as follows: since activities exist to meet student needs it is essential to the mechanics of.a-sur-vey- thatthese needs be categorized in. areas which are sufficiently universal - to provide a meaningfulframework within which the activities of tiie college may be viewed. The most practical classificationappeared to be one that- was simple and understandable and at the same time adequately inclusive.The defense of such a classification arises in its usability.; The agreed classification as it appearedin instruction to students was as follows: -; i .

SPLIT 4 GAMES During the last week's games the Vikings split four leaguecontests at Battersby field. They lost two to the league-leading Pacific Lutheran squad, the first 7 to 0, and the second 4 to 2. In the first game Lowell Knutsen handcuffed the hilltoppers with four hits, andheld them scoreless. It was a sloppy game for the Viks as they committed seven errors and seemedto be completely baffled by the left handed Lutheran pitcher. NO BREAKS In the second game itseemed to be a break that the Viks needed. They had the potential winning runs on bases, but justcouldn't find the hitter to bring the runs across the plate. Gus Franks and Russ Nielson were the losingpitchers, but both came back and won games on Wednesday to give them a record of 2 wins and 1 losseach. i Both Nielson and Franks blanked the Thunderbirds. Nielson gave the UBC squad two hits in each of the three opening innings, then held them hitless. the rest of the way. Franks pitched two-hit ball,giving up a single in the fourth inning to Frank Vaselanak, and another single to pinch-hitter Greg Pese-creta. Pesecreta's blow came in the final frame. START EARLY The Viks opened up on theThunderbirds in the first game early, scoring two runs in the initial frame. Bob Nunamaker led the Vikattack with three singles and a walk in four trips to the plate. Hal Partlow and Earl Senn each knocked in two runs to lead in the runs-batted- in department. In the second contest the Blue and White got arun in the third frame, following with single runs in the fourth, fifth, and sixth frames.

Some of the fellows thought up pretty good excuses fornot entering the race; perhaps the best excuse was submitted by "Poick." He couldn't understand whyhe should cultivate anything on his face that was growing wild on his chest On the other hand, we'vegot a few potential champions in Ray Polly, Wayne Es-benshade, Keith Kaulum, and Bill Rudberg, who,by the way, attributes his success to a bag of "Figero's Face Fertilizer." A house meeting was held tofind a chairman to head the Daniels hall contribution to the Campus day celebration. Dick Pedersen was unanimously chosen. Underlus able direction we are all looking forward to "opening night." Aplets andCotlets ' c. . â€¢ Aubert Drug Company 105 E. Holly St. (AmeR/\ ART SHOP 109 E.

Carrying out their carefully made plans, the Hospice boys held one ofthe gayest social events in the history of Hospice Inn, the annual house party. The evening began withdancing to the music of some of the country's top bands, via the record player. As an added musicaltouch Bill Bergesen and Bob Baker formed a piano-guitar duo and rendered several numbers. After an hour and a half of dancing came the evening's feature attraction, a bountiful smorgasbord dinner,consisting of everything from Swedish meatballs to blue cheese. When the meal was completed,dancing and card games were resumed until the party's end at 12:30.

Hill, now a student in journalism at Boston university, wrote on the subject, "The Public's Stake in FullFreedom of Information." . It was under Hill's editorship that* the paper, adopted its present name,discarding the title "Western Viking," and took on a new and modern typographical style. Hill madethe WWCollegian an influential voice in student affairs. He is best remembered for his antic, when, inorder to collect a five-dollar bet, he dated eight co-eds for the same affair and neglected to call on any ofthem. Although Hill used his editorial pen to protest the growing war-like attitude in the pre-war days, he was one of the first to don a uniform when the summons came. He was wounded in action in Prancein 1944 and while still hospitalized wrote a story which was published in Liberty magazine.

A third assumption in this study was that themerit of an activity does not lie merely in the numbers who participate but also, and perhaps more, inthe amount and quality of satisfaction they receive from such participation. It would seem that anactivity that meets many needs for two percent of students should be continued, whereas an activity that meets a minimum need, though a large percentage participate, might wisely be retired.

We'd like to show that manymen have won votes by most amazing feats of behavior. That enterprising colonel from West Tennessee,Dave Crockett, for instance . . . Some.men campaign in top hats; others in convertible limosines. Davywore a coon-skin bonnet, met the voting populace on foot and always bore "Old Betsy" along. This lady is not to be confused with the long-legged brunette type who soothes the sensitive Willy Stark in "AH theKing's Men." Davy's Betsy was a powerful shooting rifle, always loaded, always deadly to wild animals,wild men, and Indians. Davy was in the thick of his backwoods campaigning when he found ^ himself onthe banks of the Mississippi. He was feeling a bit faint from +, not finding any edible game at which toempty Betsy. Near the spot where they stood, Davy spied a small boat floating down the river^ its lt;occupant fast asleep. "Hey there," Davy might have yelled. "Take bare ^ mister, or you'll lose yer boat."Chagrined at being aroused, the gentle-man told Davy where he might take himself; unprintable wordswere exchanged and the stranger steered for shore. V.Vt% ' ** i Davy was really joyful. He'd been looking for such a dtversio|l^ver * since he'd begun his electioneering. - â€¢; ] â€¢ J Fists flew and sand wasscratched on the banks of the Mississippi. 4 But the. stranger was not Davy's equal and he soon calledU; quits. Now, A LIVP uxoen- Davy had respect for the feUow; he told him so, at the same time theneed"o boasting of the Crockett ability in fighting, drinking, shooting, chewing Tâ„¢*LÂ°l and riding."Yessir," said the stranger, "yer a danged good man if 1^, ever seen one and I'll vote for ya." ., , j " Withthese words the stranger departed, an evidently well-pleased constituent.

Burnet After Hour Prof Not Popular The subject of classes held over thehour is a problem continually discussed by the students but seldom brought to the attention of theoffending professors. ' Before labelling the offenders we feel that it is necessary to commend thoseprofs who are attentive of the time and dismiss their classes promptly. But for those consistently unaware of the time allotted them we have distinct catagoriesâ€”the well-meaning enthusiast, the proverbialabsent-minded professor and the talkative egotist. Least offensive of the three in the eyes of the studentsis the well-meaning enthusiast who consciously retains his students with a sincere intention of givingthem their due. There are many times when a minute or two more would suffice to wind up a lecture or toclear up points of discussion. If it is an occasional event, the students do not object; when they woefullyawait it daily it becomes another matter. Regardless of how well-meaning a prof may be, he asks for andreceives time not due him. The talkative egotist is not only unduly proud of his vast store of knowledgebut usually has a lush crush on the sound of his own voice. In most cases involving members of thisclassification the students are eagerly awaiting the official end of class ten to twenty minutes before itis due. Our egotist can roar and roar after the ten-of mark and a mere few, if any, will listen to him. Ourabsent-minded professor is a v i c t i m of circumstances. Chances are students are not as hard on hisname but are somewhat resentful anyway. More often he is of a pleasant nature and takes a hint the third time a notebook is slammed to the floor. Sometimes such a prof will request that someone remind him of the time several minutes before class is to end, but he does not do that as often as he should. Theseteachers who abuse their allotment take advantage of both the student and their colleagues. How many of these same offenders display a sharply raised eye-brow when a student creeps in late? They are highlyresentful of tardiness and at the same time are often the cause of it.â€”The Cardinal, University ofLouisville.

Â£W4 ;^w * 4 **â€¢% %Â¥*..By ROD CARDWELL , J â€¢ Was last week one of hard times? The college community probably thought so. Purses still felt the effect of holiday shopping. Winter was almost over. The advent of good weather meant revival of many cancelled social engagements. Student and teacher alike had formal clothes toclean, places to go. Fuel bills were high, meat and potatoes low. But in the face of hardship and failureone student said, "I should worryâ€”my wife works. This is what is known in hard times as "laughing itoff." Other faces, though, were grave. A bracer was needed, may still be needed. The people of the oldwest had something to say about hard, times. We think it's worth repeating. On the great plains when thegrain was gone and the kids didn't have shoes they'd say: "If you ain't burned up by drought and windshot as hell or frozen out by blizzards and hail storms, or eat up by grasshoppers, speculators andpoliticans, plus snakes, bedbugs and fleasâ€”then, shucks, you're well off." -'--'- War department: Atanother college, a friend tells us, there's a pro-fessor who goes to even greater lengths than Western'sown Dr. Mur-,? ray to create interest in history . . .

New CourseAdded In Modern Physics John Liedtke, of the Science department, will teach Science 336, a newcoarse in science to be added to the curriculum in the spring quarter. This course is to be anintroductory treatment of modern physics given for the purpose of acquainting non-technical studentswith the present day concepts of matter and energy and how these concepts are based on experimentalevidence. Phases to be considered are light, X-rays, gamma-rays, beta and alpha particles, and atomicnuclei with emphasis on how their energies are considered from the point of view of the quantum theory. Classroom demonstrations will be used where possible to show phenomena being discussed. Someof the implications of the recent developments in physics will be included.

From the beginning it looked to be the Fronies' game but Senior hall slipped quietly into the lead, as they did against Carrick'sCronies, and unexpectedly won. Earlier in this season this column scolded the girls from Garden streetfor their past tournament record. Their answer was to win the last two games which wasn't expected.Maybe Senior hall will win the tournament after all. Stefani Brooks, Norma James and Maureen Falknerclicked as a team should, but weren't able to get back the lead they held early in the game. This wasthe second loss for the Fronies, so their chances for the tournament seem slim. Next week will be a fullone, in order to make up for th day lost bttiis week.

"Political power, if surrendered, will surely be used to close the door ofadvancement and to fix new disabilities and burdens until all of Liberty shall be lost." Democracy isdefined as government in which the supreme power is retained by the people. The advocates of plannedeconomy and cradle-to-the-grave security tell us we can surrender this hard-won power and still be ademocracy. History tells us just the opposite. The disabilities and burdens of a welfare state mounthigher and higher until "all liberty shall be lost." We must reaffirm, our faith in true democracyâ€”the solidfoundation on which individual enterprise built a way of life which is the envy of the rest of mankind. TheAmerican Insurance Agency System, performing a great public service, has developed from the roots ofindividual enterprise. We hope the members of the Western Washington College of Education will become x better acquainted with our profession, and that many of you will enter into it as a career. But more than that, when you enter the business and professional world, we hope you will carry with you the spirit andfaith of true Democracyâ€”faith in the individual.
