W. Haggard. The legislators met with the College's Board of Trustees and withDr. Haggard at a biennial dinner at the Leopold hotel. A brochure prepared by the college outlining theapproach problem was distributed and discussed. The brochure pointed out that High street, theprincipal approach to the college from Bellingham and from state highway 99 (Holly street), is narrow,badly deteriorated, and inadequate for today's large and growing enrollment at the college. "It seems fairto say thatthe legislature has a responsibility for the street between a state highway and a stateinstitution," the brochure states. "The college serves the entire state; 58 per cent of the enrollmentis from outside Bellingham and Whatcom county." PRECEDENTS SET According to the brochure there are precedents at the University of "Washington and the state college of Washington for anappropriation to make WWC more accessible to students and to the public. Cost of improvementsand purchase of properties would total ,$241,- 604.20 according to the city engineer. This wouldinclude the widening of .Indian street, and construction of a diagonal street from approximately thejunction of Myrtle and Indian streets to High street north of Oak street. Pictures showing crowdedtraffic conditions and disintegrating pavements on High street are. included in the brochure.Salesman Wanted Students are needed to sell advertising for the Collegian.

Dr. HaqqardForesees Expansion of Campus ~ ^ . . „ „ . „„. ,„ ,««=„ J ^^.r t™ o/MiUnm +YV t.hfiEdens annex. Dr. Haggard stated Western Washington college, one of Bellingham's largest businesses, is growing both in the size of student body and in physical structure. It is likely that the current"growing pains" will not let-up, but will even increase in magnitude in the future. POPULATIONINCREASES According to Dr. Haggard, the steady increase of student population as shown in the fallenrollment figures of 1,249 in 1952, 1,504 in 1954, and the anticipated 1700 (or more) next fall has made additional building imperative. The construction of the annex to Edens hall, which will provide housing for many additional girls next fall, is now well under way. The excavators have finished and the generalcontractor has taken over. Other than the $500,000 women's dormitory, two additions to the men'sdormitory are also being studied. The college will request $1,674,036 for capital outlays from the 1955state legislature. Of this amount, $1,250,000 is needed for a science building; $215,000 for a healthcenter; $87,000 for conversion of the old auditorium into classroom and office space, and funds for thepurchase of the four lots in front of the new Edens annex. Dr. Haggard stated that the science building,conversion of the old auditorium, and purchase of the properties in front of the new annex are a must.The college president forsees vast expansion of the campus and buildings in the near future. Dr.Haggard said, "The problems of growth and development which we see ahead are the kinds ofproblems with which we will enjoy working." ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1955 January 7 - Page 2 ---------- Page Two WWCollegian Friday, January 7, 1955 Recruits May Lose Many Benefits Recently PresidentEisenhower issued an executive order which directly affected many Western students—those men whowill go into the service before their college career is over. The order was to cut off for new recruits a greatamount of veteran's benefits that were granted about the outbreak of the war in Korea. SEVERALBENEFITS MAY BE GONE The benefits grantee! the veterans of the Korean war which will be affectedinclude hospitalization and non-service connected pensions, Gl loan assistance for the purchase ofhomes, farms, businesses, and EDUCATIONAL ALLOWANCES. No official word has been received bythe Veteran's Administration but the move is definitely being considered. It must be pointed out, however, that even if the proposed action goes through it will not affect the persons who are in the service already. White House Secretary James C. Hagerty said the proposed action would apply principally to those whoenter the armed forces after January 31, 1955. An immediate reaction to this news would be that thestate of national emergency which President Truman declared in 1950 was terminated. THIS IS NOTTRUE. The only remaining reason for the proposed action is to cut down on governmental expenses. Thegovernment spends approximately $45,000,000 a month for educational and training benefits forveterans. To the average citizen this figure is staggering. BILLION SPENT FOR DEFENSE If thatfigure seems high, consider the billions that are spent for war and defense. The billions spent for war anddefense are, of course, necessary. The money spent for the training of veterans is very necessary also.Consider the many veterans at Western who are going on the Gl bill. The majority of those would probably not go if the Gl bill were not in effect. At any rate they would have a much rougher time getting through.For a family man the sacrifices he would have to make would almost make a college education animpossibility. COUNTRY NEEDS TEACHERS All over the nation there is a hue and cry for moreteachers. If the proposed action goes through the teacher shortage will become even more acute. If the country wants teacher it will 'have to pay for them. Writer Deadline 24 Days Off; Rush of MaterialExpected With the,. January 31 deadline for submission of material to the Writer only 24 short days off,students should finish their stories, poems and essays and hand them in. The recent doubling of prizesis expected to bring a rush of manuscripts at the last moment, according to Dave Gay, publicity directorfor the magazine. Material may be submitted to either of the advisors, Mr. Annis Hovde, English,Annex, or Mr. James O'Brien, room 42, Old Main, or to any staff member—Bob Carey, ClaraLongstreth, Bill Waring, Darrel Parry, Gary Douglas, Carolyn Keene, or Dave Gay. Manuscripts may also be submitted by being placed in a box provided in the Collegian office, room 126. - Of the total $170provided for prizes, $85 will be awarded each of Winter and Spring: quarters. Distribution and amountin each of poetry, essay, and short story section will be decided soon. All judging of manuscripts forprizes will be done off campus. Members of the 'English department of Washington State college atPullman, Washington, will judge material in the Winter quarter issue of the magazine. Allmanuscripts submitted should be typewritten, double-spaced on one side of sheet of typing paper.Authors should keep a carbon copy of their manuscript. Wesvets Schedule First Winter Meet TheWesvets, Western's veteran's organization, will hold its first meeting of the winter quarter nextMonday, January 10, at 7:30 in room 120 of Old Main. This meeting will be particularly important, asplans for the forthcoming veterans' social will be discussed and settled. All new and returningveterans are urged to attend this meeting and join the club which represents them in student affairs on campus. WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN , Since 1899 $ { f e .

Victor, world-famous Arctic explorer, will present his experiences during five years in Greenland in the color film, "Expedition Ice Cap" at 10 a. m.,Tuesday January 11, in the college auditorium, as part of the Artist and Lecturers' series.ORGANIZES EXPEDITION Mr. Victor organized his five-year scientific expedition in 1948 for the purpose of checking the weather on a year-round basis in the center of the Ice Cap. Scientists have longsuspected that much of the bad PAUL E. VICTOR weather which sweeps Europe and perhaps the entire Northern Hemisphere is manufactured on the Ice Cap; Victor wished to verify this theory and toconduct extensive exploration. He and his fellow scientists burrowed into ice and snow two milesdeep in order to construct their research laboratories. Planes parachuted their food and supplies. The men explored more than 11,000 miles of unknown lands. In vivid contrast to the severe Arctic winter,the film shows also the Greenland spring with its animals, birds, and flowers. FIRST VISIT IN 1934Paul Victor made his first visit to the Arctic in 1934 where he crossed the Ice Cap on foot with dog-sleds, was adopted by the Eskimo family, and lived for a year in their igloo. There he gathered material for hisbook "The Great Famine" which was published in 1954. Mr. Victor is proud of his rare status as a citizen of both the United States and his native France. He spent four years in the United States armedforces during World War n. Later, in 1946, he put France on the polar map by organizing the Frenchpolar expedition.

Enrollment 18% Winter Quarter, Twelve hundred ninety students registered on openingday, January 3, this year with the total expected to reach nearly 1500. This is the largest number ever to register on opening day and is an 18 per cent increase over the total of 1093 who registered on openingday last winter quarter. Over 1400 students had registered by noon on Wednesday. Waiting lines were long, but Registrar Donald Ferris said that he did not believe anyone was in line more than half anhour at any particular place. The final registration was slowed down somewhat by over 100 people whohad failed to pre-register and who ran into trouble with closed classes. New sections of the closedclasses were formed in most instances. Sometime in the future it may be necessary to initiate a newmethod of registration here at Western similar to that now used at the University of Washington,according to Mr. Ferris. This would entirely elim-u Teachingj;in Local Schools i One hundred forty-nineWWC students have been placed in student teaching this quarter, according to figures released by Dr.R. F.

Before we start our sport news for this week I would like totake a line or two to congratulate Jan Matthews and LeRoy Murray on the fine job they did on the sport'spage of the "cub" edition. It was nice to see the change in the style of writing which they presented. Tostart this week's column off with something different, let's start with a question. What sport is com-* -71— monly called this nation's favorite that when it's tournament time pastime? As with every sport fan it is baseball. The statistics show that that every year more people pass through the turnstiles to watchthe diamond performers display then-talents than in any other sport. For track prospects making theirrounds years baseball has reigned supreme on the non-participant side of the ledger. Do you knowwhich sport leads the pack in the actual number of participants in the sport? Some will say golf but alook at the record book tells that the fastest growing sport in America is bowling. It leads golf almost two to one. WWC FOLLOWS TREND Here at Western we are following the national trend by having a great increase in number of participants engaged in intramural bowling this year. Mr. Sam Carver, intramuraldirector, loves to tell about the Northwest district bowling tournament which was held last year atWashington State college. The Western all-stars, a team composed of the outstanding bowlers in theintramural program, placed a close third behind WSC and the University of Washington. Consider thefact that they were matched against the best oppostion nine western colleges could present they did anexcellent job for the Blue and White.

SPORTS SECTION WWC Drops Two N on-League Tilts to Central's Wildcats SHOE REPAIRS SPORTINGGOODS * JOE MARTIN 206 E. Holly KEEP . WASHINGTON GREEN Puget Sound Pulp and TimberCo. Western dropped two non-league tilts to the Central Washington Wildcats over the vacation. Thefirst night Western came close but lost 68-61. In the second game the Vikings had trouble and dropped a 91-77 decision. Central merely was faster than the Vikings. This fact tells a lot of the story. TheWildcats also had excellent ball handling and were very sharp shooters from the floor. Although Western was badliy outclassed in most departments ,they showed up well in the rebound department.Central hit well over 40 per cent of the shots. SEVERAL PLAYERS SHOW All was not darkness for the squad from Western. Several ball players showed up very well giving an indication of better things tocome. Jim Forbes came into his own the second night as he picked up 28 points. This is the highestnumber of points scored by any Vik this year. Howard Brooks also showed up very well in the two gameseries. Bob. Stone, veteran of the Viking team, played his usual brand of steady basketball as he scored16 points the first night. Armin Jahr drove well but had trouble hitting his shots. Central's two smallstars, Don Heacox and Bill Meyer, told the story of the second ball game. The diminutive players playedmarvelous games scoring 28 and 21 points, respectively.

Western Mermen Meet Huskies This Friday the Western splash-men take on the Huskies of theUniversity of Washington in a dual meet at the U. of W. After the long layoff over vacation the. swimmers are working hard to get in shape for the coming contest. Coach Do Sande is still trying to interest moremen into turning: out for the team. A swim meet includes ten events and each team places two men in each event. The team needs at least ten men to place two men in each event. To ask a swimmer toswim three events is almost an impossibility. It can be done but it is very hard. Both the University ofWashington and Washington State have traveling teams of about 20. Western still needs manymore swimmers. The team now consists of twelve members. Ed Papen is the cornerstone of theteam. He will probably swim the 50 and 100 yard free style sprints. Hal Roberts is the standout in thedistance events. Dan Scribner and Don Daverin are both working on the 200 yard breast stroke. Bothwere on the team last year and both made their letters. Mike Arnot is still doubtful whether he will beable to be in the meet or not. Mike injured his arm skiing. He usually swims in the free style sprints. Ron Barber is a newcomer and is expected to do well in the 200 yard back stroke. Diving is held down by"Old Faithful" Alan Swan-berg. He has been with the team for two years. Gordon Pfister has beenworking out on all strokes but the specific event is not yet known. Chuck Granger is expected to do wellin the 200 free style. This is Chucks first year on the team. Jim Rick is taking on all comers and couldbe a point getter in the 200 breast stroke. Pat Gerspacher is new to the team and has had littleexperience in swimming. Bob Nan-ney has been put on a strict diet and will not be able to travel. Welose a good distance man. Anyone interested in turning out for the swim team is asked to be at thecollege pool at 5 p. m. The team' still needs anyone who is willing to turn out. welcome to your firstquarter at grand ole'Western. Rings—rings—rings. It's so disgusting. Never did believe in Santybefore but doubts are beginning to form a little. Lois Chudek and An-nett Mullen have joined themiserable ranks of being "engaged."
