By ROGER GROVDAHL Last Tuesday and Wednesday a near record number of Western voters went to the polls and elected their leaders fornext year. Ray Cohrs was elected president in a landslide over Norm Richardson and Al Evans. ReySundal also pulled a good percentage of votes in winning the vice-presidential race. Roland Saylor andDave Gay won the race for the two positions open on the Board of*——— ~ Control. Bob Bollman,election chairman, was in part responsible for the near-record vote. He stated, "I think there was awonderful turnout. The candidates did a very thorough job of campaigning. In general I think everyone dida very good job and cooperated terrifically. I would especially like to thank Esther Gib-* boms, whohelped with the elections, and Dr. Howard Critchfield, faculty adviser on the election board." Out of the nearly 1200 possible voters at Western, 676 voted. This is compared to 500 in the primaries this year.Percentage-wise it is 56% an increase of 14%. Cohrs took a tremendous total of 411 votes to leadRichardson who was next with 140. Third in line was Al Evans with 67 votes. Breakdown of the vice-presidential race was similar. Rey Sundal polled 390 votes followed far back by Ivan Hickenbottom with125. Jim Simon was third with 93 counters. Board of Control election was a very tight, interesting racewith three candidates grouped near the top. Roland Saylor topped the pack with 298 votes. Gay followed with 281. These two will step in to fill the two Board vacancies. Closely following Gay was Bob Dunlapwith 252 counters. Bill Johnson and Larry Renner were grouped closely together at the bottom with159 and 153 votes? respectively. Margaret Salisbury received two write-in votes. After learning of thevictories, Cohrs and Sundal made statements concerning the school year of 1954- 55. Cohrs expressedthe desire to help the coHege during hfa time m office. He said, "I hope that I shall be able to provemyself worthy of the generous support of Western's student body. One approaches the task withhumility and with the hope that the best interests and wishes of the students and the college may beadvanced. In order to guide student affairs wisely, I shall appreciate any suggestions and crtiicisms fromthe student body. I shall attempt to serve Western with dignity and fortitude. Sundal expressed a similardesire. Rey stated, "I would like to sincerely thank the people who supported me in the recentelections. I am honored that so many people have confidence in my abilities and shall do my best tofulfill the duties of your vice-president. I am certain that I shall enjoy working with Ray Cohrs and theBOC next year." Even with the terrific turnouts at the polls we had this time, It is not as good as it couldand should have been. It is a .step in the right direction, however. If succeeding committees take heed of this election and excellent candidates with sound backing offer good platforms and novel campaigns,the voting percentage should go up even higher than 56 percent. Schaub To Give Organ Recital DavidSchaub, organist at WWC, will present his second organ recital Sunday afternoon, March 7, at 4 p. m.in the auditorium. The organist will be assisted by the college string orchestra under the direction ofDr. Frank D'Andrea, head of the music department. BALANCED PROGRAM The program for the recitalis balanced between modern and traditional compositions. The first section includes Handel's"Concerto for Organ," opus 4 No. 5; Bach's Coral Preludes, "Lord Jesus Christ, With Us Abide," and"Christ, Our Savior"; "Fugue in G Major," by Bach; "Fantasy in F Minor," by Mozart; and "Suite for String Orchestra," by Bach. Schaub will play "Sonata III" for organ by Paul Hindemith, a composition in18th century contrapuntal style but with 20th centry harmonic idiom. Three modern pieces by George.Frederick McKay, will be included in the recital. They are "Rondolet," "Arietta Piacevole" and "JoyfulMarch." "Pastorale" by Roger Ducasse and the second movement from Leo Sowerby's "Symphony in GMajor" for the organ will conclude the program. The 5/4 meter in this composition gives it particularrhythmic interest. Ferris Reminds WWC Students of Pre-Registration Registrar Donald A. Ferrisreminds all students that they must pre-register for the spring quarter by Friday, March 12. Graduates, seniors, juniors and sophomores may pre-register any time, and freshmen may do so any time afterTuesday, March 9. Counselors are opening, their offices extra hours during the pre-registration. Hours are listed on office adviser's doors and in the registrar's office. Ferris urges all students to pre-registeras soon as possible to avoid last minute delays and switches in class schedules. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 March 5 - Page 2 ---------- Audience's Immature Behavior Censured All amateur theatrical productions operate under a particularlyhorrifying hazard. This hazard is not that the production may appear amateurish, but rather, that theaudience will be so immature as to react childishly when professionalacting is. not, forthcoming. Suchwas the case during last Saturday's performance of the Winter quarter play, "Liliom." ~ • gt;'.•"-.,.Courtesy Lacking The tittering, the laughing, and the juvenile remarks passed loudly in the audienceduring Liliom's death scene (a scene admittedly not up to the level of Eva Le Galienne^and JosephSchild-kraut) displayed, quite openly, the lack of good taste'vandf courtesy commonly ascribed to highschool students and, younger college students. .'•-•,- The particularly amazing fact is:This;immature behavior was displayed by so-called "adult"' persons from off-campus, as much as, if notmore than, by college students. Abuse Intolerable Western's student need not be subjected to suchabuses. Re-currance of the nauseating display of immaturity must be met with positive action.Suggestions will be made in a later editorial. The College Scene.. . by Dunlap Let's start out this weekwith a short-short story. Once, long ago (about 44 hours ago) there was a fellow at a college calledWestern. Name was Joe. Joe Student, boy Knucklehead. He led a sessile life in the science department(or the PE dept. or the Engl. dept. or any of the many departments at WWC.) He rarely reared his headabove the current of his own little area of concentration to view the activities or shenanigans of those* •• around him. His first love was Protozoan Ciliata. In the PE department Joe would have beenentranced by aroma of "pure" wool socks or something of that nature. NOSE BURIED One day theyhad an election at WWC. Presidential yet! Did old J.S. tear himself out of his rut and go to the campaign assembly? No! Did he decide on popularity or ability? No! No! No! to all questions. Joe Student sat onhis haunches and fiddled with his Poriferi, his Indian clubs, or buried his nose into a pregnant volumeof Chaucer. There were 520 "Joe" and "Jane" Students who didn't think that it was necessary to cast aballot. What sort of mental fog are they immersed in? Are these people with us? Inattention togovernment on national scale has led to the downfall of many governments by Red infiltration in ourtime. Here at college we should be cognizant of this. Government should be foremost— rankeddirectly alongside of academic activities. But, it is not? DID YOU GO? Those of you who read this know whether you went to the polls last Tuesday or Wednesday. What's your excuse if you didn't go? And tothe first one that says, "I thought that the candidates were not worth voting for." I say, "Look, Joe, thefuV ing was open to all." Well, how about that? » * • Loungeology wasn't so sharp last week. Theplace was invaded by a horde of Politum Americanum stu-dentum. The jukebox was almost drowned out by the roar of orating politicians. Frankly, in this case, I prefer the jukebox. The lounge custodial staffgave up sweeping out and just shoveled. The political debris was THAT thick. Hey, fellows! What fatalattraction does Liberace have, for our Western variety of girls? Don't say that he has none, becausethe TV is all but obscured by oggling females on Wednesday night at 8:30. What is it? Whatever itis—however efficient as a female attraction it is—I don't want it. • * * * There! That's it. I'll bet you thought that I'd say something nasty about that stupid, noisy jukebox. Didn't you? WWCollegianPage 2 Friday, March 5, 1954 fkeside Chat I was recently asked by several students - for my opinion on how efficiently the BOC has operated thus far this year. Because of a recent article in the Collegian this question has been in the minds of many students who are interested in student government and Ibelieve the question merits an answer. As chairman of the BOC I have fortunately been in a position toobserve the board in action, possibly more than anyone else in college. This experience, I feel,qualifies me to answer the question. First of all, it should be understood that I, as president, havevery little, if any, voice in the decisions that are made by the BOC. As a non-voting member of the BOC my responsibility is mainly that of chairman or moderator. Now then, when it comes to the way theboard operates, to be sure, it does not operate as efficiently as it would if only one man made it up.Remember that there are fifteen people that comprise the board— fifteen individuals, all exercising theirrights. Inevitably there is going to be a lot of haggling and debate. That is the democratic.process. Doyou want to do away with that? I know your answer is NO! On the whole, considering that the board ismade up of so many people, the record of accomplishments is remarkable. Do you think they work anyfaster in Olympia or Washington? (To say nothing of Puerto Rico.) / . We do our best. We try to befair. If we blunder, we are only too happy to have your criticism. Feel free to make it. We welcome it!From my point of view, democracy, first, last—and always. HENRY HOWE, ASB President. CollegeStudents Should Be Adult Drivers, But Are They? By STAFF REPORTER It is understandable that highschool students should be inconsiderate and poor drivers. Although some pepole here at Western say that the college student is by nature immature, I say that he should be mature enough to drive like, asane citizen. His "squirrel" days should all be behind. This is not the case. There ARE some studentswho consistently violate traffic regulators. The impression made by bad college drivers reflects on thewhole college. Wednesday night a motorcycle was seen to roar up Oak street and come to a screeching halt in front that? First: the sidewalk was the route of travel. Second: the operator was young, althoughnot a college student, and anyone seeing such stupid actions would assume that this "chowder-head"was a WWC student. There is no direct control on outsiders, such as this fellow, but his friends, andrelative, who are members of the student body should realize that it reflects adversely on the College.Worse than this is the "guy" that drives without due regard for life and limb—his or someone else's.Fifty miles per hour up Garden street is a fairly good clip—on that we probably all agree.

He's also been seen running stopsigns in his blue grey '41 Ford coupe. We, the Governor of Washington, the Administration, theAssociated Student body, and the staff of the WWCollegian, think that the time has come for ALLcollege students to re-evaluate their driving techniques. Remember this when you next get that urge to step down on the acelerator, although there may be no police in sight. College students shouldn'thave to be watched, but in the interest of safety for all, you may be. Appointment of Navigator andKlipsun editors for next year became the big item on the Board agenda this week. Ordinarily the Klipsuneditor is appointed toward the end of Spring quarter but a change in the by-laws provides that the Klipsuneditor shall be appointed in the sixth week of Winter quarter. This change was made at the request of the pres-* month. SPRING INFORMAL PLANNED One hundred dollars was granted to the Pep commiteefor a Spring Sports Informal which they hope will become in the future the big dance of the Springquarter.

This will enable the new editor a chance to get on-the- spot training before theresponsibility falls on her shoulders. Na-dine Schilling received the nod from the Board as the personto sit in the driver's seat next year. The only other applicant, unfortunately, was Ruth Ann Britt. I sayunfortunately because I believe there should have been more interest and therefore more applicantsfor the post as important as editing the annual. COLLINS APPOINTED Tom Collins received the job ofediting the Navigator for next year. Although not as important to most students it is of importance to allincoming freshmen. It helps them to "navigate" on Western's campus. One hundred seventy-five dollarswas given to a member of the IA department to enable him to make a trip to Los Angeles to representWestern at an IA conference being held there later this month. Twenty-five dollars was also granted toACE so that they may send five representatives from Western to an educators conference being heldin Wenatchee this Tromitis'HitsWWC Students Saturday By KATHY TROUTNER "That old Black Magic has me in its spell." According to people in love this has nothing to do with the Junior Prom. ^ But to usfellow Westernites, Black Magic has cast a certain spell upon us, alien to love. This spell has beendefined as "Junior Promitis," and with all due respect to lovers, Black Magic is the theme. Dancing from 9 to 1 to Mickey In-glass and his twelve piece band on March 6, in the gym, is the only cure for thisaffliction.

The Viks applied the pressure at the start of the game and failed to release it until the finalgun, which was something UBC was not counting on. Heretofore, Western has managed to play ballwtth the best teams for the first, half, but in the final half they haven't been able to hit the side of thegym. The Viks faced a severe height deficit but they offset this the only way they could: with speed. The rangy Thunderbirds could not keep up the pace set by the smaller Vikings and their inability to do sowas the biggest single factor contributing to a Western win. VIK DEFENSE GOOD The defcasive work of Coach McDonald's men should not be overlooked. They put on a scrappy defense that kept UBCfrom taking any easy shots and helped hold their shooting percentage down to 20%. The reboundingwork pf Knigge, Stone and Crooks was outstanding as they repeatedly stole the ball off thebackboards and tied up the Thunderbird rebounders. Western shot only 26% but fortunately it wasgood enough to out-shoot the Birds from the floor.

Saturday night the Vikings, still happy over their upset the night before, traveled to UBC.They were accompanied by a large aggregation of local rooters who made the trip in hopes of seeingtheir favorite team pull a repeat performance on the favored Thunderbirds. Western fans did not leave disappointed as the Viks managed to squeeze out a slim 54-47 win. GAME TIGHT The Vikings werenot content with one league victory and seventh place, but they raised their sights for two wins and a tiefor sixth spot. It was not an easy task as they faced a much wiser and more determined team than theymet the previous night. The Thunderbirds hung on stubbornly each point of the way and contested thelead until the final minutes. Percentage wise the Viking offense looked better than it did Fridaynight as they employed" the same tactics as they used the night before and outran the Birds with theirfirehorse type of basketball. The Vikings were again sparked by Roger Knigge who copped high honorsfor the evening. Western fg.

TheVandals took first in every event and piled up 67 points to 23 for UBC and 5 for the Vikings. Western was badly crippled this season by the loss of four veteran swimmers due to inelgibility and the 5 points theViks scored was more than was expected against such formidable opponents.

One of the mosteventful happenings of the year—but many of the humorous things never get into the news write-ups.So*—• here goes . . . We think that Western did very well in its playing. 'Team II won one game,tiedv one, and lost the third. Team I lost one to UBC and won two. The Western-Victoria college gameSunday morning was a real thriller. The score of the game, 47-42, was high of all the eight teamsentered. Surprising it was for those who came to the hotel late and found their beds short-sheeted. Thequestion is, who were the culprits and how was room entrance gained? Just for clarification—allsuspicions have been laid aside concerning Lois Chudek's staggering into the hotel late Saturdaynight. An ear infection caused a loss of equilibrium and planted her in the hospital for a few days.After lights-out Saturday night quite an argument occurred between Pat Ingram and Emmy Lewis as to whether the hotel window had steam on it or if it was covered with dirt. After a long session of debatewith Pat insisting it was dirt, Emmy could take no more. She went to the window, ran her hand over it,calmly washed her hands in the washbowl and then as she climbed back into bed grudgingly grunted . .. "dirt." Those of you wno know Sally King will be interested in learning that she was at UBC playing onthe Central Washington team. How. much of a traitor can one person fplay against Western's women'steam. The first game will begin at 4:10 p. m. Following the game there be? She's still whistling the same tune that she's coming back to Western next quarter. Just some chatter . . .

To sum up the whole week-end, we might simply say that we had a wonderful time. The playing was a bit rough around the edgessometimes, but nevertheless fun.

Marquis went through another quarterundefeated. Although they won twenty-eight games, a very enviable record in anyone's book. Duringlast week's play in league A the champions won an exhibition game from Bornsteins, 45-32. Born-steinsfinished in the cellar in the City league A. High for the winners was Gard with 15 points and Nelson had10 points to lead the losers. On February 24 last quarters league A champions, the Gym Rats, cameup with their best game of the quarter as they easily beat the Flying Canucks 57-19. Bowsher was highfor the winners with 26 points, and contributing to the Gym Bats cause was steady Spud Hfiller with 12points. On February 25 the big game of the quarter was played and once again Marquis beat Daniels.However Daniels got closer to the champions than any other team in any of the twenty-eight games. The final score was 33-30. The score at half-time was 15-13 in favor of the champs and they pulled away quickly in the third period and opened up an 11 point lead. Daniels put on the pressure in the fourthquarter and closed the gap to two points with less than 30 seconds to go. Daniels, however, just couldnot get that equalizer and when Larry Olson fouled Kenny Olson in the last second of play that wound it up for the season. Ken "Ole" Olson sank one of the two foul shots and put the game away for good. High men in the game were Card (13) for Marquis, and Fotheringham (11) for Daniels. Other games In league A last week were: Alpiners picking up a forfeit from the Tigers and the Steam Rollers forfeiting to theGlutchers. The team from MRH is the new league B champion. Last quarter the champ was Marquis. Inlast week's game MRH picked up a forfeit from Larsons' Farces to easily cop the crown. The Phantom Five came close to tieing MRH for the title but dropped their last game 40-24 to Huntoon. They hadpreviously beaten Hospice n 30-26 to get within striking distance of the top but they could not beatHuntoon when the chips were down. In the playoff game last Monday, Marquis had to come frombehind to beat the B league champs, 47-39. MRH led at the half 22-17. As the end of the second halfneared the league A champs started to put the pressure on and MRH could do nothing to stop them.Once again, as has been the case all ^through the twenty-eight games Marquis has played, Jim Gardwas the big factor and leader of the team. Gard scored 15 points in this game, but 13 of them came inthe last half. Gates dropped in 12 points to aid the Marquis cause. High for the losers was Duncan with12 points. In summing up the season, it is not hard to see why Marquis is ouch an outstanding team.Every member is a potential scorer, nowhere else is team play so well illustrated and to top it all offthey win when the chips are down. The starting five consists of Gard, Thomas, Hub-ber, Halleck, andGates. These five functioned like a well oiled machine most of the time and led by wee Jim Gard theywere hard to beat at all times. Jim would be this writer's choice for the most valuable player of thequarter in the men's intramural basketball league.

Kiwanis Brings in Watson Singers By RUTH ANN BRITT TheBellingham Kiwanis club presented the Beth Watson Singers Tuesday evening, March 2, at the WWCauditorium. Music on the program was varied, from popular to classical, although the majority of theselections were semi-classical. ATMOSPHERE CORDIAL Each member of the ensemble was soloistsometime during the evening. This made an impression on me as I have been to many concertswhere only one or two members of the group have been featured. The whole atmosphere createdby the singers seemed informal. I think this was created by the manner in which the program waspresented and the manner in which it was sung. For example, in some of the songs which were of theromantic nature, the women would flirt with the men. Very effective, I might add! WATSONFEATURED Featured on the program was Beth Watson, dramatic soprano. She was accompanied byHerbert Reeder at the console. Reeder also played a few numbers on the console. With music suchas "Make Believe," "That's An Irish Lullaby," "Thine Alone," and selections from "Brigadoon," you canbe sure that the audience enjoyed the concert. Those who have been "crabbing" about the A L seriescertainly should have gone to the concert Tuesday. They would have no objections I'm sure! AWSMembers Attend Meet At Seattle U.

Letter To Editor DearEditor: I would like to raise one small voice of thanks to the Artist and Lecture Series committee forbringing to Western a fine group of musicians and authors during the winter quarter. Manystudents, including most of the candidates for student body offices, have made loud criticisms, few ofwhich were constructive. The general complaint, however, is that the artists are all too "long-hair," toointellectual and not at all entertaining. It seems the point in need of clarification is this: Is the A LSeries intended to entertain or enlighten? Perhaps for those who believe it should entertain we couldbring to our stage such stars as Johnny Ray and Lily St. Cyr. Perhaps the BOC could recommendthat Lit. 205 replace Shakespeare with Pogo and that the faculty produce a floor-shoW at Edens hallevery night to make dinner more pleasant. How long will it be before the students here recognizeWestern as a place to learn rather than a three-ring circus? KENNETH PAULL. GIFTS For . . .

Kappa Delta Pi Hears Talk "Touring Europe," was the topic of PatSutherland's talk to the college chapter of Kappa Delta Pi in the Edens hall club room Monday night.Miss Sutherland drew from her experiences gained in the summer of 1949 when she had joined theStudent International Organization's tour of the continent. The trip began from New York harbor, whereMiss Sutherland and the other members of the group were packed aboard the Greek ship "Neptunia"with Greeks and Italians who were trying to forget English and recall their native tongues. LISBONFIRST Lisbon, Portugal, was the first city she visited. Before the two months of traveling through eightcountries were over she had visited many of the more famous cities of Europe, including Paris, London,Lyon, Florence, Venice, and Cologne. Miss Sutherland was greatly impressed by the painting,"Winged Victory," the historical "Hall of Mirrors," the fading "Last Supper, and the pillars of the Romancivi lization which still stand and command respect in the heart of Rome today. At the completion ofthe whirlwind tour, which included transpor tation by train, bus, airplane, bicycle and tired feet, MissSutherland was overjoyed at seeing once again the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor and the culturethat is distinctly American. The talk was illustrated by color slides and followed by coffee and adiscussion period.

A white coat has always seemed to me to be an almost unattainable dream possession."Now, thanks to science and modern invention, it's as easy to own and wear as a cashmere sweater.Choose a wrap around, Chesterfield or a mere quick hug of a jacket in cashmere, Orion fleece or plainold white wool homespun. These fit nicely over a suit or cotton dresses or even longer ball dresses. Ifyou have the problem of too many underclothes and straps and things under your cottons on these warm spring and summer days that are approaching, here is your answer. A feminine little slip in whitecotton pelisse that doesn't need ironing after each washing.' Other attractions are: an extra low de-colletage for bare-top dresses, no straps and a specially designed "Hidden Treasure" bra. For Saturdayevenings at the Holiday this spring buy a new polished cotton sateen print. Shoulder baring, butterfly and candlelight dresses in numerous colors are really a sensation.

Theyare members of Dr. Manzer J. Griswold's sociology 251 class. (Editor's note: Last week Dr. Griswold'ssociology 251 class went through the Monroe reformatory to look at conditions there. A Collegian reporter was in the class and wrote the following interpretation of this trip.) By STAFF REPORTER The gateswung open, we were admitted, and then shut behind us with a very final clang. We had a shut-up feeling even with the knowledge that it was only for a few hours. How would it feel to enter those gates with theknowledge that a year or more will pass before he is once more a free agent. Is it a hopeless lostfeeling? Does anger and hatred rise up and enclose in its compass all of mankind? These and otherquestions assailed our minds. Does that short, fat man hate us? Do we represent to these men thesociety that has made them outcasts? Does that tall, thin man hate us? What did that young mando—steal a car—rob a grocery store— or a million and one other indiscretions which cause society toput him in here for a short or a long period of time. Did society ever think that maybe they were thecause of what he did? Perhaps because he did not finish high school he could not get a job. In want hewas forced to steal. Because he stole society banned him from their company. When he is releasedwill be so hate society that for the rest of his life his outlook will be so warped he will turn his back onsociety and live on what he can get from society without earning it. There were some whose incarceration taught them a lesson. But how many of these if the press of necessity becomes too great will again turn to obtaining subsistence and very survival from outside the law that "protects" society. These andmany other ruminations gave us cause to think as we were given a good inside look into Monroereformatory.
