1946_1108 ---------- WWCollegian - 1946 November 8 - Page 1 ---------- s5S? Hilarious Comedy Premiere Coming "Dear Ruth", a hilarious two act comedy, opens in the blue room of Edens haU Thursday, November 21. As WWC's first dramatic performance of the year, "Dear Ruth" stars an all-student cast under the direction of Victor H. Hoppe. Rehearsals have been long and hard with a bit of humor all t h e time. Working under a terrific time handicap, Mr. Hoppe has selected an outstanding cast. Helping shape a smooth performance are: student director, Plans For Big Formal Made Vivian Franklin; technical director, Carl Lindell; and script artist, Phyllis Threlkeld. Members of the cast are: Dora, the maid, Vivian Franklin; Mrs. Edith Wilkins, the m o t h e r , Suda Jean Owen; M i r i a m Wilkins, adolescent d a u g h t e r , Clarena Fenton; Judge Henry Wilkins, the father, Edwin Cooper; Ruth Wilkins, charming oldest daughter, Irene Chetwood; Lt. William Seawright, Ruth's military suitor, Mike Smith; Albert Rummer, Duth's fiance, Glenn Burgess; Martha Seawright, the Lt.'s sister, Martha Moriaghan; Sgt. Chuck Vincent, the Lt.'s friend, John Peterson; Harold Klobbermeyer, a sailor, Carl Lindell. This comedy, written by Norman Kasner and first produced in New York, December 13, 1944, was a tremendous hit. It has just been released for amateur use. With an able director and a sparkling cast, WWC's performance of "Dear Ruth" promises to be equally successful. Complete runing time for the play will be November 21, 22 and 23. Under the general chairmanship of Bob Moblo, plans are being f o r m u l a t e d for the Norseman's Dance to be held November 23. Ticket sales will be limited to 200 because of insufficient space. They may be purchased in the main hall for a dollar a couple. An autumn theme will be carried out by the decoration committee: Clark Brown, Pat Mc- Evoy and Jim Roberts. Arrangements are being made for a floor show by Carl Lindell, Richard Green and Russell Hilton. O t h e r committee members are: refreshments, Bob Bain, Lionel Livermore, and Art Run-nestrand; publicity, W a r r en Beecroft, Jack Graham, and Don Foster. Ticket sales will be handled by Mickey Smith, Leroy Roand, and Don Anderson, while Don Brown, Jim Fickle, and Vic Hughes will take care of the check room. Ernie Dawe, Glenn Barry, John Griffith, and Gor-den Adel are on the clean-up committee, and Fred DeBruler is making arrangements for the music. Tory's Wolw by halldor karason It seems to be a truth that in, reporting the activities of any organization more publicity is given to events which show lack of cooperation than to events which give evidence of cooperation. That is true of the United Nations Organization. The particular agency of the UN which is being criticized is the Security Council, and, specifically, the veto power of the permanent members: Ch m a » F r5n c e ? Russia, Great Britain, and the United States. The chairman of the United States delegation to the San Francisco Conference, Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., then Secretary of State, in his report to the President, said: ". . . The Security Council is not the enforcement agency of a world state, since world opinion will not accept the surrenda-of sovereignty which the establishment of a world state would demand. The Security Council, therefore, depends upon the Sovereign member states for the weapons both of persuasion and of force through which it will attempt to keep the peace. . . . The voting procedure of the Security Council is expressive of the actualities of the possession and exercise of power in the modem world. The five principal military powers of our time are made permanent members of the council. ..Furthermore, in order that their possession of power and their use of power may be made to serve the purpose of peace, it is provided that they shall exercise their power only in agreement with each other and not in disagreement." CRITICISM JUSTIFIED Mr. Stettinius, it is evident, approved of the veto power. He considered it desirable that the five major powers should be in complete accord on all decisions which affect the peace of the world. However, the question has arisen as to what affects the peace of the world and what does not. That appears to be the basis for the present dispute over the veto power. Russia has used the veto power nine times. France has used it once. The other three powers have not used their right to veto. This does not pre-suppose that they will never use their veto power. It suggests only that they have not yet found it advantageous to do so. The use of the veto power by Russia has been sharply criticised, and no doubt much of that criticism is justified One of the latest vetoes by Russia was the veto of the applications for membership in the UN submitted by Ireland, Portugal, Trans Jordan, Albania, and Outer Mongolia. " / . Membership in the United Nations is open to all peace-loving stales which accept the obligations contained in the present Charier and., in the judgment of the organization, are able and willing to carry out those obligations. " 2 . The admission of any such stale to membership in the United Nations will be affected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. It would seem that those two provisions conflict as long as the power of veto on such matters remains with one of the five permanent members of the Security Council. That seems to be, in effect, what has happened in the case of Russia's veto of the membership application. SEVEN OF ELEVEN It must be made clear that all decisions, of the Security Council are not subject to the veto power. Only those decisions which are not "procedural" can be vetoed. Procedural decisions are made by an affirmative vote of at least seven of the eleven members. Unfortunately, however, the question of what is procedural has not been adequately defined. In the Charter it is stated: "The Security Council shall adopt its own rules of procedure . . ." That seems to leave it up to the Security Council to define "procedural matters". The United States is not attempting to get the Security Council members to arrive'at such a definition. PERMANENT PEACE « Permanent world peace cannot be achieved without compromise and understanding. The UN, since it is the result of democratic action, is not as yet perfect in all its details. There will, inevitably, be many differences of opinion and much need for compromise before the UN fulfills the high purpose for which it was founded. We in America, with our history of democratic compromise and political opposition, should be among the first to understand that a.difference of opinion in the UN is not necessarily an indication that the UN cannot succeed and achieve its purpose. It is the democratic way to discuss controversies openly and to seek a solution which will be in the best interest of alL There is no other logical way to international understanding and cooperation. There is no other way to world peace.

New Radio Program Promotes Public Interest In College Taking to the air-waves, the radio speech class, directed by Miss Alma Madden is presenting the program "College News in Review" each Thursday at 4:45 p. m. over KVOS local radio station. Designed to promote public interest in WWC, these programs consist mainly of school news, personality sketches and interviews. However, programs vary to meet special needs and events. An example is the play "Deadline for Living" w h i c h is ACappella Choir Debut Tuesday Music will highlight the assembly scheduled for November 12 to honor Armistice Day and American Education week. This will mark the first apearance of the a cappella choir which open the program with a group of selections. Numbers to be featured will be: Let There Be Music (an original musical setting by the director, Mr. Bernard Regier); An Eriskay Love Lilt (Robertson); and Holiday Song (Shumann). The choir's performance will be followed by two talks on education: "World Education in the Atomic Age" will be discussed by Joanne Plumb, and Jess Bailey will speak on "Education for Peace." Reading of the Honor Roll by Don Packard in recognition of WWC's war dead will conclude the program. Faculty members responsible for the assembly are: Dr. W. W. Haggard, presiding; Mr. Bernard Regier, music; Mr. Victor Hoppe and Miss Alma Madden, speeches. scheduled for broadcast November 14, in honor of Education Week. In the broadcasts an attempt has been made to follow the trend of the WWC Collegian. Features of the paper that interest students most are incorporated in the radio shows. The task of editing and presenting programs falls to the eight students who constitute the radio speech class. Because of the small class each student is insured a part in every broadcast. Two students act as arrangers and announcers each week while the remainder provide the body of the show. STUDENTS TALENTED Equipment for the broadcast, the studio and the technical production are provided by station KVOS. "The class is composed of talented people," declared Miss Madden. "Among the students are Hugh Vit-ter, who has appeared as vocalist with dance bands, and Carl Lindell, who arranged Special Service Shows while serving in the army. "We hope to stimulate an interest in our program among the students, as well as the general public," Miss Madden continued, "and I hope they will tune in "College News in Review' whenever possible." •Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald Kipling once remarked "east is east and west is west but ne'er the twain shall meet" but nobody has ever mentioned the possibilities of north and south getting together.

Pauline L. seems to have her social calendar fairly well organized at the moment so guess it's safe to say Frank H. seems to be occupying most of her time of late. „^ Remember we vote for the Homecoming Court this Friday and you're making a fatal mistake if you don't vote for June Danielson . . . 'cause she's really a wonderful combination of beauty and personality. V V EDENS HALL Most lively topic for conversation this week was the issue brought about by the Hospice Inn serenaders. The girls seem to think things have come to a sad state of affairs when the first sign of initiative and the first gesture of congeniality is nipped in the bud. It was a beautiful serenade, more conducive to pleasant dreams than disturbance of the peace, and was greatly appreciated by an enthusiastic audience. We have two new inmates this week: Pat Larson from Sedro- WooIIey, and Joanne Jude from Bellingham. Hap Wittier told me she went wading m Lake Whatcom last week-end. We did have nice weather, but I didn't think it was that good. Must have been some added attraction. V V YMCA Things are beginning to hum at the "Y" this month, with many activities being well underway. The Homecoming display, which is being handled by capable Carl Lindell, promises to be a good one, as Carl has put much time and effort into its formulation. A Homecoming skit is also being planned by entertainment chairman, Doug Roberson, and will star such celebrities as president Arnold Turner, San Fran-ciscos' gift to WWC. The A.S.M. basketball team, led by captain Bill Tulin, although not too impressive in the percentage column, has been playing good ball and "showing lots of fight. Much credit is due to Ed Black, Cliff Sharp, Milton Orphan, and Captain Tulin for their sterling play. Miles Standishes' birthday party, held in his room the other night and attended by many, was a howling success. For further information see Clark Brown. And by the way if any of you girls know who the handsome cashier at Bdens Hall is at lunch time, it is none other than A.S.M.'s Alf Courtney, from Sequim, Washington.

Bob and Dawn spent last week-end cruising around Everett in the father-in-laws' brand new car . . .

V V HOSPICE INN Well, those mid-terms are over at last—now to wait for the deficiency reports. Of course, for some of us the work is never done—at least that's what Jack Francis says when he is questioned about his absence from the social circles of Hospice Inn the past few days. He has a 15,000 word theme to write! • The regular housemeeting was held Tuesday night. After the usual business meeting, an attempt was made to revive the old tradition of serenading the girls of Edens Hall, but someone evidently doesn't appreciate our singing. Oh. well, "cops is such nice people!" Frank Iroala shouldn't have asked for "Five Minutes More" because it made him late for the housemeeting. He looks so cute in a grass skirt—such a swing and sway! New members of the House of Hospice during the past two weeks are Dennis McGillivary, from Anacortes; Suart Petrie and Dick Wright from Seattle. FOREST INN V V Boy, here I am home at 250 North Forest (alias Forest Inn), after a hectic day of classes. If I had Shirley Van Moorhem's ability to fall instead of walk downstairs, I mightn't be so tired or maybe if I had Melba Leh-mann's ability to toot a horn I could toot myself into a ride home nights. I'd even be satisfied if I could cook like our wonderful housemother, Mrs. Sundquist, but I can't even boil water. Guess our house president, Ruby McCormick, is as tired as I am. I'd like to explore into her night life sometime. So, pardon me while I go catch a wink, (too bad it couldn't be a man.) V V DANIELS HALL Some people are inclined to believe that Seattle will someday join with Everett to form one city, but from the looks of Daniels Hall it will come clear to Bellingham. We have no less than ten Ballard boys living there besides a few stragglers from other parts of that fair city. Most of these boys will be used in our Homecoming skit as you can tell they are musically inclined by the cords in their neck. (It's a pun son.) We are still looking fox-one of these jokers that can sing HI-C. So far they all sing low-sy. Jerry Connell is back home after taking a turn for the nurse while in the hospital. Sounds from a Top-side room: John Terry asked Leroy Wade if he would be happy with $10,000 and Wade came up with the answer women or dollars? . . .

It makes Amber bitter and she is slowly but surely starving us two clowns to death. Speaking of Lindbloom, Lappy saw him chasing some girl down 14th street the other night and told him to save his' energy for the gridiron wars. V V SENIOR HALL November 3 is a date that will no doubt go down in the history of Senior Hall. It was our first open house. From 3 to 5 o'clock there was a constant stream of people coming and going. Tea, cake and cookies were served while the Misses Lois Kirig and Alice Attwood led tours showing the house to those who wished to see it. Perhaps the most exciting event of the week was the initiation of the freshmen last Wednesday. At 6 o'clock in the morning the cruel, brutal upperclassmen pounded into our room with the re-mark,." Get up, youse bums!" Then they told us that we had to be downstairs in 15 minutes fully dressed, and carried on from there. Couple United In Wedlock The marriage of Miss Hester Kent, daughter of Mrs.| T. B. Kent, to Mr. Arthur G. Dodds, son of Mrs. A. G. Dodds, of Phoenix, Arizona, took place October 11 at the home of the bride's mother in Seattle. Atendants of the couple were Lt. and Mrs. James F. Wright, of this city. The bride wore "a black dressmaker suit with black accessories and carried a single white orchid on a prayer book which had been given her by the groom. Mrs. Wright wore a geranium red suit with black accessories. For the wedding trip through Washington, south to the Grand Canyon, the bride donned a gold top coat. " • The couple will live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, while the groom continues his m e d i c a l c o u r s e at Marquette university. He is a graduate of Baylor university, and participated in-all but two of the South Pacific campaigns. The bride, who formerly lived here, attended the local high school and Western Washington College. Several relatives and friends from Bellingham were guests at the wedding. Sophs Hold Party; Socles Plenty Loud Swell; best ever held; couldn't have been better; was the opinion of members of the sophomore class who attended the scavenger hunt and party held Saturday . evening in the lounge. ' The scavenger hunt was the feature of the evening with the winning team receiving a box of chocolates. Articles collected by the winning team ranged from a banana, cookie cutter and used tomato can, to a corn stalk. The rules set a time limit of one hour and prohibited the use of autos. Refreshments, consisting of cocoa, coffee and doughnuts, were served in the lounge following the hunt. The remainder of the evening was spent dancing, with special tags, novelty, individual, and the sock dance headlining the evening's entertainment. The prize for the couple with the loudest socks was awarded to Pat Temperley and Glen Bergess, "the socks actually spoke for themselves." stated the prize awarder, Ted Gary. Two college pennants were the prizes ---------- WWCollegian - 1946 November 8 - Page 3 ---------- ^P^^^^^^^SS|lP^l^^^^SiSill, Friday, November 8; 1 9^ \ryestern W^hingtpn Gd y*i • ••••^^s. : .'h-. .^.%iS;i. St. Martin's Next Grid Classic ROUGH PLAY . . . Badly crippled; a game, but reserve shy Viking eleven crossed the Cascades again, only to come back bumped up some more. Rather harshly used were the Norsemen who went over to play football under college rules . . .Wound up playing under profession rules . . . plus some Marquis of Queens-bury additions. • • HIGHLIGHTS . . . Wally Miller, in the thick of things, had a clipping penalty against him. Later on game officials missed the retaliation effort of a North Idaho player against Wally . . . Sent to the showers for unnecessary roughness was Del Peterson. Del must have sensed the real spirit of the game . . . Missing the try for point, and then being jumped squarely upon by opposing linesmen was the rare treat in store for Byron Griibb . . . Inci-dently Lappy galloped. out upon the greensward twice in more than mild protest. • Which still makes just two times he's done that sort of thing during his coaching career . . . A good time was had by all, and. brotherly love was conspicuous by its absence in this-tussle, under Idaho skies . . . The Viks, short of man power, were _ hardly prepared for the bruising, more than rough tussle they Were forced to play. . * * ' ' • STANDOUTS . . . Outstanding indeed, has been the play of our blue and white tackles. Not to be overlooked are the steady, sterling performances of Kerr, Dodge, Hammer, Grubb, and Del Peterson at the guard positions.. Hammer, by the way, was another Viking not present at the Lewiston game. Lappy, in a -measure, was pleased over certain elements of the Viking's offense. Moving with machine like precision, they reached the ten yard line several times, but lacked the final punch to put it over. Pinal word from Coach Lappenbusch was that outstanding for North Idaho, were two tall ends who could really snare those passes. * * QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS . . . Why did the North Idaho boys miss their signals so often? The North Idaho squad seemingly is composed of two teams, one purely defensive, and the other wholly offensive. The defensive eleven never could quite get its signals straight. Has anyone seen Nick Zender around? So far this year the hill top school seems to be without a Zender. * * INTRAMURAL MURALS . . . Basketball as played in the intramural league was given a severe shakeup, when three top teams lost three star players to Coach McDonald of the varsity. Transferring to the Viking regulars are Kink of the Southenders; Clemens of Daniels, and Bakers of the Unknowns. The old intramural spirit is back again. Listen to what these rival members of the intramural bowling teams have to say of their teams pennant chances. Jay Lapp, of Lapp's Clip Joint: "Competition is rough, nevertheless I believe we have a good chance to finish on top." George Jurgens, of Bushnell's: "Give us five more good men, and we're in. It's a good race as far as the rest of the league is concerned." Jack Francis, of Hospice A, current leaders: "We're a cinch to win. It's a one team race." Don Brown, of Hospice B: "The league is rather well balanced. We won't finish last." Warren Beecroft, of the Collegians: "The rest of the teams haven't a chance. Just wait until the Collegians get to rolling." End of quotes. These rather caustic remarks ought to stir up a hornet's nest among our intramural bowling teams. * * THIS 'N THAT . . . Coach Lappenbusch took time out Monday eve, for a talk at Nooksack Valley high school. Viking Frank Gayda has a brother, Eddie by name, who is making history with the Washington State Cougars. He has cinched a starting post with the basketball team. Last week saw the all important Pacific Lutheran and Central Washington tussle end in a 27 to 20 win for Ellensburg, keeping it the only undefeated, untied Winco team. Booming along in second place came the Eastern Washington Savage. Whitworth was annihiliated 45 to 0, by them. One tie is the only blotch on the Eastern record. Tomorrow should see a hectic game with the Central-Eastern clash at Ellensburg. This one should decide the Winco league championship. Our Vikings are travelling by bus to Olympia, where a tangle with St. _, Martin's is on the ticket. This is a Viking chance to tear themselves away from a cellar berth. Thirty-seven men will go. Social committee is taking care of plans for an extra bus or so, for rooters who may want to accompany the team. That's all for this week. FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS The predictions of last week were as usual Way off the beam but I will venture to say that it was not the second guessers fault on the whole. The Vikings lost to a team by three touchdowns, but I don't believe the opposition was three touchdownz better than our boys. We pushed Idaho all over the field until our boys tired in that Idaho air and bogged down. They had a defensive team and another that they used for the offense, therefore having a fresh team on the field all the time, while Lappy just didn't have enough experienced reserves. Perhaps if we played them over here where our first string could play a full 60 minutes of ball, the score would have been diffeernt, but who knows. Such is football and the reason why coaches gel gray. Last week three people picked Idaho to win: Widge Black and Bill Miller coming the closest on the score, picking Idaho by two touchdowns and 19-0, respectively. Here We go again, so keep your fingers crossed and. hope the Blue and While's luck will take a change for the best tonight and Monday. LARRY HOLCOMB .".\ Popular Lynden athlete, before his college days: "What is this—the battle for the cellar? I'd say it is about time the Viks won a game or two. Maybe these two." DR. KEITH A. MURRAY . . . popular historian around this den of higher knowledge: "They say we are going to win one this year, perhaps one of these it is." GERRY WOODWARD . . . who hails from the home of St. Martins, and buys the poorer class cokes when they are thirsty: "Well, we will certainly beat St. Martins. We'll beat Whitworth, too, if we get just a little oomph." BOB SHUETTE . . . former Red Raider now enrolled here: "I believe St. Martins will win this one 13-6 and we should beat Whitworth." DEAN AMDAL . . . former Ballard football player: "The way the Vikings have been playing it is anyones game and the Whitworth game depends on what we have left after the St. Martins engagement." I n closing let's take a shot at the score in the countries most important game tomorrow: Notre Dame 20, Army 14. THE PASTIME BELLINGHAM'S MOST SPLENDIDLY APPOINTED CAFE JOE PAGLIA . .

Season's Big Game Army vs. Notre Dame Both Notre Dame and Army's unblemished records will be at stake tomorrow afternoon' when these two football powers square off in the 33rd game of their classic series at New York's Yankee Stadium. Army, triumphant in 21 consecutive games, has been installed as slight favorites over the Irish, but it was expected to be an even up contest by kickoff time at Yankee Stadium. The Irish have been pointing to this one since the opening of the season and will go all out to hand the Cadets their first loss in three years. Johnny Lujack, whose passing contributed to Notre Dame's 26-0 victory in 1943, will once again be at the helm of the Irish after a lapse of three years. The winner of this football classic may go a long way towards deciding the mythical national f o o t b a ll champs. —Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald Ronald Dodge hails from Forks, Washington, and is a one year let-terman in football.

Many students are not aware that the voluntary system: of attendance is a trial which is not working too satisfactorily. Striving toward a more democratic system, Dr. W. W. Haggard intro-, duced the voluntary plan for the first time this quarter. The faculty was sure that if attendance were left to the student's initiative, the auditorium would be just as crowded. But some of the students have failed the faith placed in them. In trying to solve reasons for poor attendance, many excuses have been used, but none strong enough to compensate the loss derived from missing one of these fine programs. The auditorium is close and very handy; the hour is not near enough lunch time so that the hunger, pangs are too great, and the library is closed so there is no study space available. The major reason presented which would be reasonable is that the assembly programs are not given enough publicity before hand. Therefore the Collegian will attempt to outline each assembly and give as much advanced information as possible to explain the program. VOLUNTARY OR COMPULSORY Summing up the situation, it is of interest to every student, to the school and to the participants in the assemblies that attendance is tops. Two excellent reasons for this are: first, the educational advantages offered in each assembly, and second, the blunt fact that a continually poor -attendance will replace the voluntary method with the former method of compulsory attendance.

WWC has experienced a re-birth with the current year. After the lean war years, enrollment has swelled to pre-war figures, and the school is passing through an awkward period of ado-lesehce, during which confusion reigns. VETERANS AS STUDENTS Veterans accustomed to hectic war years undoubtedly find it difficult to complete the transformation from military life to a scholastic life. Since a large portion of the WWC student body consists of veterans this has a great influence on school attitudes. Numerous criticism have, been made condeming the present school spirit, but few methods of alleviating existing conditions have been for.-, warded. The most often voiced remedy is the casual statement, "give us time and it'll come around." The simple truth is that fundamentally enthusiasm and loyalty stem from the individual, and not the football team, yell leaders or student body officers. School spirit, like a chain, is as strong as its weakest link. Unless each student does everything he incapable of to promote interest, the fine spirit that signifies a united student body '.falls apart. It is all too easy to shrug off responsibility and then accuse others when events and programs fall flat. We're never too old to learn, so any new ideas will be as welcome as a valid sugar coupon.

Dear Editors: A group of the residents of Edens Hall wish to register a strong protest against the calling of the police during the serenade of Edens Hall on the night of Tuesday, November 5. The charge was made that the boys, residents of Hospice Inn, were singing unfit songs and were creating a disturbance. This group was among those list-" ening and could detect no spirit of disorderliness nor any songs that might be classified as "unfit". There is a great deal said and written about school spirit and its . lack around Western Washington College. To us. this serenade indicated a spirit of friendliness and comradeship that has been sadly lacking around this school during PPPPP
