Give! proclaim the well meaningUnited Good Neighbor workers. Unable to escape from the mass media of blaring advertisement, theAmerican people at present are being subjected to this intense charity campaign again this year.Television, radio, newspapers proclaim: "We have reached one-third our quota", Only 50,000 dollars togo", "The people in our district aren't fulfilling their share." Is this what is happening to the great American institution, charity and good will?—Complete commercialization. We are not criticizing charity assuch, which has done so much and is doing so much for so many people, but we find there are somequestions which should be asked. The theme of "give once" is used frequently in UGN appeals. The listof participating agencies in Whatcom County UGN includes Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts,Camp Fire Girls, Catholic Children's Services, Children's Home Society of Washington, MedicalResearch Program, Salvation Army, U.S.O., Visiting Nurses Association, YMCA, YWCA, WashingtonAssociation for Retarded Children, Whatcom County Foundation for Mental Health, and WhatcomOrthopedic Association. "Give Once"— Why aren't other organizations such as Cancer, Heart Fund,Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Schlerosis, and the March of Dimes included in this lump fund? Why arecompulsorary donations taken out of many paychecks if charity is supposed to come from the heart?Charity is fine in its place but not as a high pressure circus. Karen Bainter Mike Martin RAGINGWESTERN WATERS iiii^^^^HHHMhii **!ISliff^BiliW:^^ by Dave Tremain With its origin in the Highlandsthe Western Washington River rampaged the streets of Bellingham, causing general alarm and wetfeet. r "My gosh, there's water coming Page 2 down the street" screamed a WRH resident as theswirling waters engulfed her and nearly knocked her over with a Volkswagen. The skies were cloudybut no pre- WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN cipitation could be felt. Where was the watercoming from? High Street was a small river of muddy silt and rock ridden water. The answer to this wasa broken water pipe in the Highland Hall vicinity parking lot. Spewing forth a geyser of water, it eroded aditch behind the cars parked along the road, making it a near possibility for them to move. On doWnthe street it neatly deposited the large rocks and sand in the middle of the street by WRH and the newHaggard Hall. One haggard Haggard Hall of Science student was heard to say "I heard it rained a lot in Bellingham, but this is ridiculous." One girl from Lynden, the little Dutch community to the northexclaimed to her boy friend "John, go stick your finger in it. I'm starting to float in my wooden shoes."Because of the amount of silt the storm sewers were blocked and the water eventually reached S t a teStreet, causing general alarm over the campus district. LETTERS. . . We need news Collegian Editor:Your last issue ran a total of six different columns. All totaled up these columns coupled with some ofthe junk poetry and other sick attempts at humor totaled 167 column inches of space. T/his does notinclude the full page of so called feature story. You only had 91 column inches of news space. This ratioof humor to news is much too high. If the students wanted a magazine of sick humor they wouldhave asked for one. What this campus needs is a newspaper in more than just name. How aboutprinting some news next week. David Kalles, senior The Allegory of the Creampuff Consider the presentcondition of the Collegian in the light of the following parable of taste. You have just purchased a cream-puffs you have eaten in the past, ward appearances to all other cream-puffs you have eaten in the past.Your mouth waters in anticipation of all the gustatory benefits of this delicacy. Tradition has built up inyour mind the concept of creampuffness which is associated with the form of this object in your hand.Because you have learned to be skeptical and to question, you are hesitant to assume too much toosoon. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. October 20, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 20 - Page 3 ---------- You bite into the creampuff, and instead of savoring a rich, nourish ing cream, you gag on apseudocream, inferior in texture and composition. EEECHHH! It leaves a bad taste in your mouth, muchlike that of chocolate covered caterpillers; know what I mean? But what's this? Something else hasbeen added to the cream-puff . . . to compensate for the bad taste? It looks like a piece of sugar,hmmm, let's taste it. UUGHHH! Gad! It's sugar-coated rabbit dung!* Perhaps the novelty of it mightappeal to those with a scatological fixation. » * * A weak, nearly fainting, student form, clad in theremmants of collegiate attire, stretches out a shaking filth-slimed hand and clutches . . . thengreedily wolfs down . . . the remains of a decaying pastry. The Gadfly *dung: jokes, columns. DearEditor, In reference to your attack upon a Carol E. Williamson, and a very inept one it was, I would liketo point out a slight oversight in your journalism. It was evident that your article rested upon part of a statement. The Collegian stated that Miss Williamson said "as I am only a freshman I ieel that Icannot honestly take a stand on the subject." Why doesn't the Collegian print the rest of the statement? Surely the paper does not feel it is exempt from honest journalism. The rest of the statement was"for I am not that well informed on the matter, but I do feel that we should not be influenced by theupper-classmen to turn against the John Birchers." Does the Collegian feel it is "lousy", the word thatwas used to attack Carol Williams for not thinking, to refuse to arrive at a decision without investigation? I am sure that the Collegian staff and all WWSC students will agree that it is .better to arrive at adecision through investigation than to indulge one-self in misconstruing quotes or believing in opinionsunsupported by investigation.

College Union Buildings Picture Exhibition 3. Porensics ConferenceTAKE FIVE by frosty billingsley In my old age, I can look back to my youth (say three weeks ago) anddream, of the voluptuous figures of our female students. No more! SAGA has created a new being on our campus . . ,. The Starch Blob. She doesn't do anything in particular. Just waddles around lookingdumpy. (I suppose this is the lady-like figure Dean Powers wishes to create The Starch blob bypostponing dinner 'till five . . . nice going! Although this is irrelevant to my point.) This creation is notconfined to the female of the species; it's just that I happen to notice these more. Anyway, animals.They swarm to the Commons three times a day to bloat their shapely little bodies, and bloat they do, as fast as possible. Ye gods, where did manners go. Line, eat, Marlboro, out — time from start tofinish, ladies and gents, ten (count 'em) minutes. And on the way out, where did the weaker sex getsuch strength. I mean to heave their trays, dishes included, with the proficienly of an Olympic discusflipper across the cafeteria to that defenseless fellow behind the table. The cafeteria resounds with theirscreams of agony. Petite fleur. So much for trivia. It is time that our chaperone system at mixers bealtered. For that matter, done away with. At the present, 'someone must go around and beg faculty todo the honors. I doubt this will come as a surprise. The faculty doesn't want (in most cases) or doesn'thave time for such nonsense. Naturally, some of this obstinate attitude stems from student treatment ofchaperones. Poor little prof! As one gentleman put it, "My wife and I chaperoned once. We felt astjhough we were goldfish in a bowl rather than participants in a dance; so I made up my mind not to do it again." Well bully for you. This attitude is also voiced for the faculty through the administration quiteoften. All right, we've established that the faculty is nursing its ego-wounds. So what! We do not needfaculty supervision at college mixers. It implies "looking after." This is no more than junior high treatment of college students. I feel that we should drop this attitude and instead hire a plainclothes officer tobe present. A figure of authority on hand, paid to keep a respectable dance • . • not a baby sitter. It would be just as economical as paying fees to the sitters of faculty children and would give dignity to us as college students. If you agree with such an insidious proposal, let your legislator know about it. Hisjob is to represent you. Rights are hard to come by. We don't get them by keeping quiet. October 20,1961 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 3 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 20 - Page 4 ---------- RELIGION by Karen Bainter Behind the gay false front collegiate individuals put forth is another side.A deeper side. A side that searches for truth, security and answers in a world which has little truth,even less security and invisible answers. You enter college, attend classes, meet people. Ideas, factsand theories are thrown at you. Perhaps you duck,, but some of them are still bound to hit you. Johnsi an atheist. Mary just believes in God, but she doesn't know what else to believe in; Joan is a Catholic; Sarah is a very devout, sincere Methodist with and unshakable faith . . . And you begin to wonder:Where do I stand? What are my Beliefs? My REAL beliefs? Then the knowledge you have beenabsorbing starts to bother you . . . history, philosophy, literature: Was the church j'ust thrown togetherso haphazardly? Are the differences between the faiths really that different? Why are there differences?And somehow, you are confused. Knowledge may be "the hangman" of many souls; the jailer of many insecurities. Some people remain constant, some people change, some never iind an answer.Religion in the college years is a very important and serious question. In this issue we have tried to airdifferent views. This is not an attempt to put out another Christmas Collegian as was published twoyears ago. We are trying to show in light a question which haunts and plagues many students (andprobably ministers and counselors to whom some of the students take the question.) Perhaps there is no possible solution to the problem, but it is very real and very pertinent. ONE LIFETIME by FrostyBillingsley Concerning religion, college students are quickly (willingly) becoming the "J. AlfredPrufrocks" of the 1960's. We all too often show the same sterility and apathy that is the nature of thischaracter. It is not an apathy that should be overlooked, but an apathy that should be discarded. Thereplacement would he thought. In our dorms, our houses, in various/ clubs and organizations, we tend to identify ourselves with one certain group more than with others. Unfortunately, as this group isimportant to us, we wish its acceptance; we are likely to take up its beliefs: Should it be aprerequisite for entering this crowd, there is a good chance we will embrace not only secularnotions, but religious concepts, as well. Concepts which may be atheistic in nature or (the otherextreme) fanatically religious. Be what they may, however, we accept them; without thinking ofconsequences, but of only the immediate. Have you ever considered the loss involved in blindlybelieving— one way or the other? On the one hand, you may be missing a lifetime of freedom, of notbeing tied to the wishes of a God and/or the teachings of His son. You may be missing the enjoyments of the only life you have; because you let someone else decide your faith. Or on the other, you mayspend an eternity of suffering: a reward for being lethargic, for not thinking and not building your ownbasis for belief. It's just common, ordinary apathy, lack of thought. Not a hard characteristic to find.But, in this case, it is a dangerous apathy. More dangerous than most. It influences your entire life . . .as well as your eternity. DEEP IS THE HUNCER by Elsie Gudmundson The article by "Name withheldby request" (Oct. 13, '61) merits considerable thought and respect. This is true because the feelingsthere expressed have been or are the feelings of so many of us. I am an older student here atWestern. I came back after being out of school for many years. It hasn't been easy for me; but in thisand the many other goals I have strived for, I have a belief which is simply this — "If that goal is worthwhile, God will back me up. If this is not what I am intended to do, then He will direct my way into otherworthwhile channels." I have been through the times of doubt, loneliness, guilt, and bewilderment onthis God business but could never have expressed myself as searchingly as did the author of lastweek's article. I have raised a daughter who is now married and the mother of two small children. As mydaughter grew up I wanted for her all the' material blessings plus all the self knowldege that would makeher truly happy — everything that most mothers wish for their children. Sandburg— "Time is a sandpile we run our fingers in". . . Page 4 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN October 20, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 20 - Page 5 ---------- Today if I had the power to give to my child and her family the one gift that would be to her of greatestsignificance, do you know what it would be? I want for my daughter and son-in-law the education forwhich they are struggling, the new home they want to build, and yes, the boat and car they would like to have. For my grandchildren, I would like to see many good things come their way as they grow. Butbecause I love them so, the one gift that would be my choice above all others would be a deep andunshakable belief in the Presence of God. Then they would have everything. Perhaps this quote fromHoward Thurman's Deep Is the Hunger best expresses what I am trying to say — There must be amatured and maturing sense of Presence. This sense of Presence must be a reality at the personallevel as well . as on the social, naturalistic, and cosmic levels. To state it in the simplest language ofreligion, modern man must know that he is a child of God and that the God of life, in all its parts, and the God of the human heart are one and the same. Such an assurance will vitalize the sense of self andhighlight the sense of history, with the warmth of a great confidence. Thus, we shall look upon life withquiet eyes and work on our tasks with the conviction and detachment of Eternity. INCISIONS byGalford Revere, submit, fear, permit ...

There are some problems we cannot solve by ourselves, sowe rely upon our faith to do the job for us. We cannot just say, "Well, this problem has no answer,"and still be satisfied. To us, the problem must have an answer. Otherwise, we wouldn't beomniscient, would we? An omniscience is so safe and warm. And isn't nakedness so lonely and nastyand cold? and dangerous Can you feel it yet? The mud, that is. Wallow in it, splash it on your neighbor,puke out your desires and longings in it. Swallow it.

Nakedness . . . season, even though the real climbing won't come until later in the year when snow conditions improve. Last weekend a group went in toKulshan cabin and climbed Grouse Butte, the Hog's Back and other easy peaks. When EmilyDickenson said "Wonder is not precisely knowing And not precisely knowing not," she gave you and I, as young people interested in the question of God, a valuable clue. Some have accused those of Us who have questioned conventional Christian religious 'beliefs of faithlessness, evil, and stupidity. Some,with their particularly narrow beliefs, have prayed for us as "lost souls." But they have failed to realizethat we do not claim to "precisely know," nor do we claim to be "precisely knowing not." So many aninnocent young person, awakening for the first time to the beliefs of other nations and peoples, hasdared to ask "why?" and has ventured to say "perhaps this is not the ultimate, and only truth," whenquestioning the religious beliefs which he himself has been spoon fed. We who wonder do not knownor do we claim to know not. October 20, 1961 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 5 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 20 - Page 6 ---------- IN INDIA Religion . by Hardev Shergill Hinduism is without doubt the oldest living religion in the world.Unlike Christianity and Islam, it was not founded by a historical person but took shape gradually as asynthesis of the beliefs) and practices of the original inhabitants of the Indus Valley region and Aryaninvaders from the steppes of south-central As!ia. Anthropological discoveries have indicated that theformer worshipped a prototype of the Hindu god Shiva— one of the earliest of the Hindu deities, whoocqupied a place alongside Brahma, the creator and Vishnu, the Preserver, in the Hindu Trinity; whilethe Aryans are believed to have introduced the worship of nature gods. Thousands of years of religiousthought are reflected in the sacred writings of Hinduism, which include the Vedas, Upanisheds, BhaguatGida and Brahmasutras. The "Vedas are the oldest scriptures upon which Hinduism is based and arethe ultimate authority in spiritual matters.

The Upanisheds werecomposed about 600 B.C. as a reaction against the emphasis upon ritual and sacrifice in teachings ofthe period; they are an inquiry into the meaning of human existence. The Bhagavada Gida, a classic of sacred literature, has the same appeal for Hindus as the Bible for Christians or the Koran for Moslems.The Vedas tell us that the tangible universe did not come into existence at any particular time and iswithout beginning and end. What is called "creation" is only a manifestation of names and formsfrom an un-manifested state. Dissolution is a return to that state. Creation and dissolution is anunending process, described as "the breathing of the cosmic soul." As the universe is withoutbeginning, so are souls. The soul is the immortal and unchanging substance in every living being.Because it is spirit, it i s necessarily one and without second. The many souls in the relative universeare reflections of one soul in various material objectives, like the reflection of the sun in many waves.This appearance of the one as many is the result of Its identification with finite material forms— andthe cause of this identification is Maya, or Ignorance, or Illusion. Maya is the inscrutable and indescrable power inherent in Ultimate Reality itself which conceals its true nature and projects the materialuniverse and all the material forms contained therein. The identification of the soul with the finite isanalogous to seeing a mirage in a desert, or, while asleep, regarding a dream as real. Its illusorycharacter is emphasized by the Vedas, which speak of two souls: the real and the apparent. The Vedicdoctrine of Karma and reincarnation cannot apply to the real soul, which neither is born nor dies.Reincarnation is a requisite for achieving absolute perfection and oneness with Ultimate Realitybecause this condition cannot be attained in one lifetime. Because Ultimate Reality is unknownand unknowable to the finite mind, the Vedas also prescribe symbols through which one cancontemplate It. Originally, these symbols were elements of nature; in later Hindu writings they arepopular dieties of the Purnas, such as Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, Kali, and Durga. Hinduism also expressesa belief October 20, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 20 - Page 7 ---------- in Divine Incarnations. Whenever virtue declines and vice prevails in the world, the Brahman is reborn inwicked and resstore righteousness hus, Rama, Kirshma, and Bud-human form in order to punish the dha are regarded as being Divine Incarnations or Personal God. Christ, too, was an Incarnation— not theSon of God but one personification of God. It is impossible to describe Hinduism in terms of fixeddogma or stereotyped creed. However, a list of basic, fundamental beliefs common to all periods ofdevelopment would include the following: 1. Godhead or the Ultimate Reality or the Brahman isunconditioned by time and space. 2. Religion itself is not Brahman but the means to its realization. 3.Truth is One. All religions lead to the same truth but by different paths. 4. Ritual is essential to religion.5. Because Soul is divine and is a unity, every individual is to be respected. NOTE: BecauseChristianity and Islam are not originally nor exclusively Indian religions, and because Buddism is nowalmost extinct in the country of its origin, I have confined my discussion to Hinduism. However, theabove-named religions, as well as two others indig-ious to India— Sikhism and Jain-ism— appear inofficial census reports. Followers of Islam alone comprise a minority group of several million.HOMECOMING — '61 PROCLAMATION: Hear Ye, Hear Ye, let it be known throughout the kingdom ofWestern on Sehome that the king ihas declared a festival to be held from November 5th to November11th to give all peasants a round of merrymaking and relaxation after the grueling midterm exams.

WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN October 20, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 20 - Page 9 ---------- ENROLLMENT FIGURES Women don't dominate by Roger Libby According to a preliminaryenrollment report 3,367 students have registered for fall quarter this year. Contrary to popularopinion, the women do not out-number the men. Men total 1,802, and the women 1,565. The freshmanclass is the only class that is predominately women. The freshmen women out-poll the males, 756 to651. This comparison was much closer last year as there were 594 women to 575 men. The tables areturned in the sophomore year as there are 396 men to 352 women. The junior men lead theircounterparts, 344 to 244. The trend increases, as there are only 166 senior women to 349 senior men.Why the drop in female enrollment in the upper-class years? Several reasons account for the drops, but marriage, (often termed a girl's main objective in college) is a primary factor. Also, academic andeconomic deficiencies take a large toll of both male and female students. Of course there are otherreasons, such as the mortality rate at keg parties . . . ! It is interesting to note that 36 per cent of thenew freshmen hail from King County. Whatcom County is second with 24.7 per cent of the newfreshmen. When considering the total enrollment, Whatcom County heads the list with 28.5 per cent ofthe total enrollment. - I I II H II M M SHOP . . .

At that time, Winter's reputation as a "show Stopper" had been firmly planted in the minds of musical audiences on two continents. He was already known as the leading Rigoletto of the New York City Center Operaand star of 27 other operatic works in that company's repertoire; he had won several great successes on Broadway; and he was a distinguished member of that group of young Americans who, in the early1950' lt;s, S lt; gt; lt; gt; '.

It is not unusual that Winters has gone on to enhance his reputation as avoca'.'st since the Herald Tribune made t lt;hat comment about him a few years back. It is only natural that a voice which has been lauded for its "substance and power, fervor, deep expressiveness and tonalvoluminous" (N.Y. Times) should be sought after by the Philadelphia Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic, the Nat:onal Symphony and many others. And it is certainly to be understood that "Winters, a baritoneof rare quality and discrimination who is capable of as powerful a sound as any baritone of the day"(Christian Science Monitor), would be increasingly in demand for concert tours which have taken ,himto all parts of the United States, Central and South America and to every country in Western Europe.Page 10 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN THE CALL BOARD by Ric Stephens The first of the"Studio Theatre" series is getting underway. This is a series of plays to be presented informally and freeof charge in the new lecture hall in "Old Main." This program is an attempt of the (Speech Department to provide a workshop situation for students interested in drama and give them more opportunities indramatic pursuits, such as try-outs of original scripts with an audience reaction. The first of theseplays are "Under Milk Wood" by Dylan Thomas and "The Explainers" by Jules Pfiefer. Tryout andproduction dates will be announced soon. Satisfies sensory spectrum For those unexposed to the mind of Dylan Thomas, let me say that the work of this Welsh, poet-dramatist exemplifies a reality mademore real through its synthesis with poetic dissonance. "Under Milk Wood" is a prose-poetry playdone originally as a radio drama and done occasionally as a stage play. Although it is a "Play for voices" it satisfies the sensory spectrum completely when it is experienced in a live theatre situation. You are probably familiar with Jules Pfiefer's satiric "beat" cartoons which appear in many magazines. "TheExplainers" is a series October 20, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 20 - Page 11 ---------- of short scenes based on some of his more successful ones, which have appeared in "Esquire" and"Playboy". The play demonstrates Pfiefer's rare ability to see the humor and pain in everyday situations. Tihese plays and their contrasting themes and styles will provide an unusual theatre experience thateven those only midly interested in theatre will find interesting and entertaining. U. N. DAY FlagCeremony On Tuesday, October 24, the College will participate for the first time, in a communityobservance of United Nations day. A flag raising ceremony, planned by the ASB in co-operation witjh the International Relations Club will take place in front of the Viking Union at 10:00 a m. The United Nations' flag will be flown beneath the United States flag during the week following the observance. Mr. Haroldexpressed the hope that students and faculty, seeing the flag fly, would underwrite their owncommitment to international peace and co-operation. Similar ceremonies will occur at t;he same timein front of all Bell-ingham schools, the Court House, and the Library. VANCE PACKARD Noted Authorspeaks by Jim Reichert "We're becoming as a people, standardized, homogenized, hypnotized andsterilized." Vance Packard, October 11, 1961, Concert and Lecture series, W.W.S.C. "Dog snacksoutsell dog food." October 20, 1961 The subject of Vance Packard's speech was his thesis thatAmerican society is dominated by Madison Avenue. Evidence for this domination can be seen inthe fact that "There are now tens of thousands of ten year old girls around the country wearingbrassiers." and that "Dog snacks now outsell dog food." Such products as bras for ten year olds anddog snacks satisfy our latent needs—needs of which we are unaware until Madison Avenuecreates them. Exploitation of "latent needs" is only one device used to expand sales. Others, accordingto Packard, are impulse buying, exploitation of the youth market, exploitation of religious holidays("Christmas is becom-ming a seven billion dollar binge.") promotion of style obsolescence andexploitation of the desire for status. Consume and Support At the bottom of Madison Avenue's efforts isindustry's modern dilema. To use Packard's words, "Our Productive potential is ahead of ourconsumption potential." Therefore, (People are expected to consume simply to support the productiveprocess." This exploitation of the consumer has several grave consequences. Glorification of pleasure, materialism, and narcissism are "deliberately encouraged by marketeers who try to make us moreenthusiastic consumers." Closing, Packard stated that he did not expect this discouraging trend tocontinue. Instead there Will be a growth in the production of services and expansion in the areas ofirrigation, slum clearance, and international trade. Although Packard does not lack critics, he hasperformed a much needed function: education of the American public in the techniques of MadisonAvenue. BROTHERS FOUR Sing to Capacity Crowd by Cathy Thernien Sounds of laughter and thesoothing words of America's best loved folksongs filled the Western Washington State CollegeAuditorium Tuesday night when the Brothers Four presented their act for the students and the public.The performances at 3:30 and 8:30 p.m. were filled to capacity. The Brothers Four, composed of BobFlick, John Paine, Dick Foley WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 20 - Page 12 ---------- and Mike Kirkland, started singing together while students at the University of Washington. Through apractical joke they received an opportunity to appear at Seattle's Colony Club and since that timetheir career has skyrocketed. All members of the group plan to finish college and get their degree in thesame field they planned to major in, but at this time they are not attending classes at the University.They have just completed a personal appearance tour of the East, where they did the Bell TelephoneHour, appeared in Ohio, Pennsylvania and arrived from San Francisco shortly before show time inBellingham. From Bellingham they travel to Bremerton to Olympic College and then back to Seattlewhere they will release a new album for Columbia and will appear at the University of Washington onSaturday. When time allows, all members of the group enjoy photography, skin diving, all sports andflying. They enjoy jazz very much and often play it for their own pleasure, but stick to the folksongsduring performances. In connection with their love for flying, they fly constantly between appearancesand are the youngest members of American Airlines exclusive Admiral's Club. Strangely enough oneof their most memorable experiences occurred while traveling by jet. They were caught in a tornadowhile flying between engagements. After several hours of rugged flying they landed with only casualt i e s being damage to their bass fiddle. BUILDINGS "Not A Sewer" No, they are not installing another sewer. The hole being dug south of Old Main, between the Library and the Maintenance Building, willsoon be filled with a new class room building. The structure, which should be open by next fall, has been unofficially titled the Humanities Building. It will house sections of the English, Foreign Language,History, and Philosophy Departments. A two section completion program is now planned for thebuilding. During the first stage the exterior will be finished and the first and second iloors will becompleted for use :next fall. These floors will house two lecture halls, one for 400 and one for 200students, a language Page 12 laboratory, 40 faculty offices, and a number of seminar rooms. Thesecond stage of the $750,000 structure is scheduled for completion in the fall of 1963. By this time,the third floor, accommodating 40 more offices, a 200 student lecture hall, and various class roomsshould be completed. LIBRARY SITUATION Confusing . . . by Nancy Matson WWSC's library isundergoing remodeling, and like most reconstruction, there is some confusion. Problems rangingfrom new doors to new library cards contribute to the dismay of many students. Not to mentiontrying to discover w.here parts of the "old library" have disappeared. Herbert Hearsey, reference librarian,says that with no library instruction required anymore, the lack of library familiarity among the studentsjust adds to the disorganization; but he adds, that mimeographed explanations of the library (havebeen handed out to freshmen—and some upper classmen. We had better start using them! Pray thateveryone doesn't begin research at the same time— probably a week before the quarter's end. Thepresent library periodical room's approximate ten by twenty foot area just couldn't hold everybody.Perhaps the swarm could be broken up by sending one third of it to the reserve books in Haggard Halland one third to the Campus School library now located in its obvious place. But don't mourn! Lookforward to next year's library with two sixty-four by fifty-one foot wings, appropriated at $950,000,which will grow up next door to the Science Building. The architecture of the new five-floored library will resemble both the old library, the Science Building, and the Music Building. Its square constructionwith narrow vertical stained glass windows, giving a unified appearance to that end of the campus,And it will offer many facilities that none of the three older structers do at present. Here are a few: thelibrary basement will hold classrooms; the first floor the charging desk, card catalogues, plus Mr.Scott and Mr. Hearseys' offices; two elevators and five typing rooms will he a convenience; stacks with reading tables and chairs located on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors of the new wings, plus the oldreading room will 'be able to serve at least four hundred more students and afford more than double thepresent space for books. The "new library" and its many improvements (only a few mentioned here)will be enhanced with air conditioning, excellent lighting, and a much quieter atmosphere — cautionpaper rustlers and whisperers! On the (blueprint the new additions and remodeling look impressive,although simplified; yet it has been a problem to get the old building re-usable, as well as to get the oldand new structures to work well together. Miss Herrick reports, "It isn't one hundred per cent perfect, but it's the best we can come up with." Let's hope so!

Hold it, don't look glum, the week wasn't that bad, and, after all, you're going to be downin the swamp looking at the Evergreen Championship battle whicih will be the game of the week.

To say the most important . . .DON'T MISS IT. Western up to this point in the field of competitive athletics sports an undefeatedseason. So let's take a drop down through this section that doesn't get used much unless there is anemergency . . . pardon me, 111 be right back. Items Worth Watching— Eastern 0, Western 7 With ateam up like Eastern and with nothing to speak of in the way of material, and with the statistical beatingthey were taking, it looked like Upset City was on its way to Cheney for Saturday nightmares. As usual it was a big Western defensive line that held the Savages to 4 yards on the ground and kept them within afootball field's distance in the air. A real tribute to a big line. The score is always supposed to say thiswas no indication of the game. Well, let it speak for itself: No matter how much you ramble up and downthe field it's the points that count when the ball game's over. (That's all that goes down in the record books for posterity.) Time and time again Western hall carriers came within striking distance and eaoh timeeither the rei's whistle or a savage Savage came through. You've got to hand it to Coach Lounsberry forthis is one coach who knows how to mix up plays and players to get the most out of the time andmaterial. Mr. Fry and Mr. Rowe (known as the 1-2 combination of point getters) did it again. Fry slantedoff tackle for a 50 yard TD that had the Savages completely off balance. While Rowe punted well andkicked the needed P.A.T. . . . A needed victory for a heavy weekend. Ex-Viks, 16 — Ex-Gladstqnes, 6A nice weekend on the West side of the Diaz Tunnel as sports loving Vancouver round those old and tired men of has-been-ville looking like a rest home was the last thing these old pros needed. Spearheaded bythose little skinny kids Chico Bob Snyder, Mike Cooper, Bill Burby, and Denny Sheppard, who, by theway, was only able to score 15 points, it looked like this will be the team to beat in Canadian rugby thiswinter, (in their division) The Roundball Death March Coach Jack Hubbard will send a two a day workoutfor a little while longer before cutting to a more agreeable group to shout at for the rest of the year. Paced by Mike Kirk, Jim Adams, and Jim Rife, who knows, it could be worth another bundle of trophys for thegrowing silverware collection that Hubbard is acquiring. Rookies have been going in the morning, whilethe veterans get time to wake up in the afternoon. Time Oue Western's Ron Rowe is only averaging about 2 yards less than some of the leading punters in the Big Five, about 38 yards a kick . . . No one willdisagree that the most consistent deserve the most credit, and when it comes time to form the All StarClub you can't forget somebody like Bob Plotts or Gary Fumano—let alone his small friend, Tiny Leoms . . .

Win number four was not the easiest victory of theseason for the Vikings as Eastern was time again, statistically speaking, completely one under by the Viking machine. Eastern was definitely more up for this game, but with Central scouts looking likeBrownie salesmen in the crowd you can't do too much except just overpower a fine determination by agame bunch of fellows from the land of the Sun God. (I knew I had to do the editor's request bymentioning religion this week.) Eastern nearly got back into the game in the final seconds by guardGeorge Ling, and was finally brought down on about the 50 yard line. Ling also proved a Ijhorn in the sideearlier in the ball game by intercepting a Western pass on the goal line. Ron Rowe who kicked theextra point and helped the Vikings contain the ball in the final moments, together with Ron Ladineskept the game rolling on the ground. Matt Kjelstead, a guard for the Vikings, picked off a much neededfumble to highlite the line activity. Interesting to note was the use of two quarterbacks in the same plays. Coach Lounsberry employed Parker, Ringenbach and Spangler about evenly to keep Centralguessing. Western held Eastern to a minus four yards on the ground and 97 in t*he air. The scoring: Fry 50 yards off tackle, PAT by Rowe. WCLUB Elects Officers The first meeting of the year was held lastMonday night.

October 20, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 20 - Page 15 ---------- WEST COAST'S GAME OF THE WEEK by Nigel Adams Western goes after its first conferencechampionship in four years this Saturday night against Central's tremendous power house. The game israted as a toss-up, and the last time I talked to my bookie he just sire and defense another, hardtackling another and this typewriter another. Western looks like it's on its way to the hardest game sofar and the best. This corner's prediction Western 13, Central 18. (A good defense like CoachLounsberry briefs the Viks as they prepare to tangle with Central turned his head and walked away.Crowd-wise, it'll .be a sell out as at least 5,000 should see what will be, without question, the smallcollege's West Coast game of the week.

Feature of the evening in defense, is the league's best inthose always dependable Vikings, which come to be old hat as they lead this department year afteryear.

The Union Board members will be on hand to welcomeyour parents and act as guides. We hope you and your family will take advantage of this service.the Vikings can stop almost everything up the middle except the rain, and (besides they haven'tshown me any reason for not doubting their consistency as a club.)
