Last January the school, becameinvolved in a nationwide scandal when-three-membeps- ©E the SU basketball squad were accusedof being _ involved in a point-shaving bribe. The present situation involves Michael McHugh, ASSUpresident, and Martin Toner, former ASSU treasurer, who have failed to. explain the nature, of recentcredit card expenditures. These two were the only persons authorized to make purchases on theaccount which is- supposed to be used for -public relations purposes. THE SPECTATOR attempted to question McHugh and Toner for what purposes and on what occasions the cards were used, but wastold that any information about the expenditures would have to come from Fr. Lawrence Donohue, S.U. dean of men. Donohue accused The Spectator of being unethical in its questioning of studentofficials but when asked to explain this statement replied, "I'd rather not go into it."

There is a strong possibility that the bill will be amended before it is passed to the House forfinal approval. Informed sources claim that the Senators might retain the part of the bill that would raise the tuition level, but would leave the exact amount in the hands of educators.

SENATE BILL 552; if -passed unamended, would boosttuitions in the three state colleges to $88 per quarter for in-state students and to $157 per quarter forout-of-state students. Thursday afternoon, as The Collegian was going to press, the Senate starteddiscussing the general college appropriations. Western has asked for a 5 per cent increase in facultyand staff salaries for two consecutive years. But the Senate Appropriations Committee decidedWednesday that that was too much and cut the raises, in half. . It looks like the Senate committee may rescind their decision— marking another victory for the • College. Western's over-all budgethas been on the chopping block for most of the 39th Legislature and it looks like the tables could beturning.

In Second Peace Protest Marchers Hit Pavement TomorrowThe local peace m a r c h e rs will be on the road again tomorrow staging a large " p r o t e s t walk'*downtown denouncing the U.S. stand in Viet Nam. According to organizers, the march will be todemonstrate for cease fire negotiations and protest "dirty war" policies. They emphasize that the marchisn't designed to challenge local authorities. This time the march is being sponsored by the AmericanFriends Service Committee, a Quaker peace-loving organization. They will be aided by a BellinghamEaster Peace Witness Committee and the campus chapter of the Student Non-Vio- 1 e n tCoordinating Committee (SNCC). THE FRIENDS notified Bellingham Police Chief Cecil Klein andMayor John Westford of the time and route of the peace march, in compliance with a city regulation.The march will begin at 12:30 p. m. tomorrow on the sidewalk on Indian Street between Myrtle andLaurel and the trek will end at the Federal Building with a 15-minute "silent vigil." The marchers plan towalk down Holly and Cornwall. Last February, 47 marchers, including many Western students, werearrested by local police for a similar demonstration. Charges were dropped after two of the leaders,were acquitted of parading without a permit .in court last month. SATURDAY'S MARCH isexpected to be larger though, as' many students from colleges and universities in other parts of thestate will be participating. . Local " coordinator for the march is Dr. Fred Ellis of Western's faculty.Late last week several student organizers of the march approached the Public Affairs Commissionon campus seeking support of the march and asking permission to start the march in front of theViking Union. About all they were given was a vague resolution stating that the PAC went on record assupporting the right of any group to march in a peaceful manner, regardless of purpose. Students at the University of Oregon at Eugene have scheduled a similar demonstration April 23 also protestingthe U. S.

Western may be in for a$4,000,- 000 chunk of the capital construction budget, arid, the likelihood of a fee increase islessening. The $117,000,000 capital construction budget has passed both houses of the Legislatureand is how in the Senate for amendment. This appropriation would leap to almost $5,000,000 as thefed^ •eral government would add $750,- 000 to the state's appropriation if plans for the science-mathcomputer annex are okayed. WESTERN'S PRESD3ENT,. Dr. Harvey Bunke, said that it appearsWestern will get the funds fpr the $2.4 million science-math computer annex one way or another. Inaddition there will be money for land expansion, utilities modernization, and an education-psychologyaddition to the campus school. The money for the addition to the campus school and the librarymay have to come from a referendum which the Legislature would submit to the people for approval.

"We feel theASSU officers failed to serve the best interest of the Associated Students in their handling of the publicrelations fund, and in stifling free discussion about it," a Spectator editorial run last Friday said.THE NEWSPAPER did, however, disclose that the credit cards have been used 19 times amountingto over $300 during the past four months, despite Toner's claim that the cards have only been used sixtimes. Toner, on one occasion, signed the tab for $71.67 for what he said was an election-night dinner for the outgoing and incoming ASSU officers. Further information was withheld on the matter, which Dono-hue has termed a "disciplinary matter." Although The Spectator had already obtained a fullrecord of the credit card transactions, the student officers followed the advice of the dean of men tokeep the entire matter a secret from The Spectator, the editorial explained. "We feel that tne ASSUshould rallow free access to its books," , the editorial continued. "The dean of men has effectivelydestroyed the political organization of the ASSU and has taken "control himself." It concluded thatif the student -officers do not reveal the infor- .mation on their own accord, they .should be forced to doso by an inquiring senate and student -body.

Well, members of the Chucka-nutSports Car Club learned all about them at their meeting at Import Motors last Monday night. JackMulhern Jr., active member of the non-college sponsored club, described the sports car rally like this: "The idea of a rally isn't to see how fast you can go nor how far. Rather, you drive over a coursefollowing a set of printed directions." Mulhern added that the object is to cover the course close to thepredicted time of arrival. And that's just what the club members did. THE RALLY IS something like a"Milton and Bradley" board game, only the board used by the club is 30 miles of paved highway. Thedriver is accompanied by a navigator who reads the instructions enroute on the course—the rally is agood date function, so the driver may choose his own navigator. If it happens that the driver doesn't win,he can always add Sehome Hill to the list of checkpoints. The Chuckanut Club awards trophies to rallywinners and a small entrance fee is collected.

Excavation inpreparation for the laying of the foundation will begin this week, with student workers on the job. Theone-story structure will have room for storing approximately 24 boats and canoes as well as providingadditional storage space for tools kept out there for maintenance. Columbia Valley Lumber Co. ofBellingham is doing the pre-fabrication of the building. The pre-made pieces will then be shipped by truck to the construction site and assembled by student laborers under the supervision of aprofessional construction foreman. At first, the solons hasseled over whether or not students shoulddo the tactual assembly of the boathouse or not. Executive Vice President Dean Foster said that he feltthe job of assembling the boathouse could be done better by a crew of professional carpenters. Foster added that by haying j professionals do the job, the. student body would be guaranteed qualityworkmanship. Dan Gullickson, facilities coordinator, said that all of the students that were to work onthe project had had construction experience. THE SOLONS decided to okay the plans, but directedProgram Vice President Tony Tihsley to report back Monday on whether or not a professional crew could do the job. In other legislative action, the solons sent a proposed amendment to the by-laws of theAS Constitution to the Constitutional Revisions Committee. The amendment, submitted by LegislatorClark Drummond, would make it mandatory for all executive officers elected winter quarter to attendschool as full-time students the spring quarter following their election. The amendment would becomeeffective next year.

FewerObtain Women Degrees ATLANTIC CITY (CPS)—The p e r c e n t a g e of women students earningcollege degrees is decreasing, according to r e p o r t s given s e p a r a t e l y at the annual conv en t i o n of t h e American Association of School Admini s t r a t o r s last week. The College Re-naming Committee has been dumped: After several weeks of seeking names to re-name Western,the committee realized that most students on campus favored the same name. A big hubbub arose lastquarter when several College officials stated that they would like to give Western a new, short anddistinctive name. There are 17 Westerns in the United States. The Collegian suggested "San Juan State College" to get the Play Rehearsals Now Underway Rehearsals are under way for the SpeechDepartment's forthcoming production^ "Juno and the Paycock," by Sean O'Casey to be run April 29and 30 through May 1 and 2. The stage is set in the Dublin tenement slums in the early 1900's. A tragi-comedy, this play depicts Dublin during her "troubled" times. With his range of comic charactersO'Casey imports all of the contradictory elements of human nature. This production is beingdirected'by Dr. Paul Wadleigh of Western's Speech Department. Corma A. Mowrey, associatedirector of Lay Relations of the National Education Association, noted that 39 per cent of the 1963college graduates were women. This was a smaller ratio than in either 1940 or 1930.

The proportion of women earning Master's degrees was only 31 per cent in 1963, as compared to 38 per cent in 1940 and 40 per cent in 1930. As far as women earning PhD's is concerned, "we have fared still worse." The number of women earning doctorates today has more than tripled since 1930,but the number of men doing so has increased more than five-fold. Mrs. Esther Peterson, assistantUnited States Secretary of Labor and special assistant to the President for Consumer Affairs,attributed this decline to a trend towards early marriage.

Let's getsomething straight first. The Collegian supports the right of any group or individual to protest theactions of the federal government in a peaceful manner. But what in the devil is so peaceful about amarch that may have adverse effects upon Western's budget now up for crucial review in the StateLegislature? Didn't the last bunch of inconsiderate students and townspeople who marched and gotthemselves arrested Feb. 18 learn their political lesson? Obviously not, for many of them will be on thehoof again tomorrow. It is a sad truism, but the state so-lons wonder what in the heck is going on uphere when they read about students protesting this and that and getting arrested. They keep right on thinking— right into those vital committees where Western's budget is decided. After the last peacemarch, Rep. Dick Kink (D-Bellingham) told a KVOS-TV reporter how an older representativeapproached him and asked: "What are they teaching those kids up there?" :' . That statement, ofcourse, reflects upon the intelligence of that particular older legislator. Many of them, exclud-a pat on the back It's not very often that we take editorial space in The Collegian to pat someone on theback—maybe not often enough. But if any one single group on campus deserves the backslap thisweek, it's Hui O' Hawaii, Western's Hawaiian Club. . * The club members, all natives of the Islands,brought a touch of Hawaii to the campus last weekend and it was a show that will take some time tosurpass. Friday's Saga luau and native dances coupled with Saturday night's Junior Prom setting were no simple tasks thrown together at the last minute. legislator. Many of them, excluding don't knowthe score. But the fact remains, they decide our budget and that's what counts. It is very plain to see,judging from the letters sent to the editor of The Bellingham Herald following that last march, that manytownspeople are wondering a little too. : Let's face it, Bellinghamers don't always appreciate theCollege students .—so strike two against the marchers. The Bellingham Police Department —despitewhat the chief may tell the local press — doesn't care much for marches either and in a way we can'tblame them. It causes unnecessary work for them. But, on the other hand, the local gendarmes withtheir riot helmets, had no business arresting those 47 marchers -r-no matter what their cause. A court of law brought that fact to light. The organizers of tomorrow's march insist that it wasn't planned to test the : local law—but despite all the small talk, that's exactly what they'll be doing. So the cards arestacked against the marchers and they will have to play their own hands. By the way, gang, the StateLegislature is still in session and Western's budget isn't free and clear yet. So go ahead and exerciseyour freedom tomorrow.—John Stolpe. The transplanted Islanders wrote home for weeks organizingthe mass shipment of tropical foods and flowers to set the scenes. Many parents of club members spent long hours working on the project with the only gratification of knowing that some college students onthe mainland would have a good time.

As long as SNCC plans its actions accordingly there can be no logical"objections. However, SNCC has involved itself in the planned April itth demonstration for peace in VietNam. The in-congruency of this involvement is obvious. SNCC is a member, of the Public AffairsCommission of our ASB. SNCC receives financiaFsupport from our ASB. When SNCC marches on April17 it .will be representing the WesterjT students. I do not feel that I should be subjected to thisrepresentation, nor should any ^student be subjected to this-representation. I would ask that the ASBLegislature resolve that in no case where a partisan issue is involved may student government or anyarm of that government, such as SNCC, be allowed to participate. T. R.

Garden and Holly I OPEN FORUM | By YVONNE DINISH (ED NOTE: Miss Dinish, a Negro student at Western, was invited to write this column. Her comments are her own.) Racial discrimination is adisease that is endemic to human beings in general. So many people say, "Now, you don't really thinkthat there is racial discrimination in Washington, do you?" I presume I am supposed to answer, "Well, ofcourse not," in which case I would display the same hypocrisy that the astute questioner displayed. Thisis a question that if answered truthfully would lead to heated arguments. But I maintain that there is,without any doubt, discrimination of the most nauseating type in Washington. How can I maintainotherwise when I go to rent an apartment in the central area of Seattle and am told that the managerdoesn't "rent to Negros"; or when I am walking down a Bellingham street, and some woman speaks tome and continues the conversation by saying that she thinks it is nice for you "poor, colored people" tobe allowed to go to school with the whites but that we should be careful; or when at a Bellingham churchmeeting a man (young man) says that those Negroes shouldn't demand too much at once because there is danger of antagonizing the whites; or when I call an organized house to ask if. there is a vacancy andam told yes, and the lady suddenly decides that there isn't any when she sees me (the "Vacancy" signis still in the window). There is discrimination in this beautiful state and there is discrimination in. thiscity. Perhaps you say that ihe Negro is too sensitive. Some people are sensitive about their weight if theyhave been teased constantly about it. Negroes are sensitive about their Negroness because we havebeen kicked and spat upon because of it. It holds that the Negro should be sensitive because it is through this sensitivity that he develops an acute sense of the injustice done to him which is necessary to fightfor what has always been his.

T h e K l a n had been disbanded around 1865, b ut it was reorganized by William J. Simmons, in A t l a n t a , Ga., on Oct. 16, 1915. The ceremony took place on a hill outside the city during the night underthe light of a burning torch. Simmons said that the brare klansmen withstood the freezing coldtemperature and blasting Winds to take the initiation rites. Actually the temperature was around 45degrees as the New York World reported after consulting the weather report for that date. THE FIRSTmembers of the "New Klan" were actually old members of the defunct KKK. The Klan changed its aimfrom that of checking the government to. one of nativism. In other words they stood for red-blooded amer-icanism, protestantism, white supremacy in the United States and the world, free enterprise andcapitalism. The Klan was against Roman Catholics, Jews, Communists, Japanese, as well as Negroes. They feared conspiracies hatched by these people to overtake the U.S., conpsiracies that nevermaterialized at that time. They did not like the Catholics because they had the Pope in Romeoverseeing them. They did not like the Japanese because the Klan thought they were trying to overrunthe Pacific Coast. This was brought about by the great "Flowers of Qualty" I. V.

In the South there still was the Negro to be looked after.ONE OF the favorite ways the Klan took care of people who were in opposition to them was by whippingthem, a practice of the old Klan. The old Klan did this in earnest because they had been aroused by the injustice and misrule of the carpetbagger. Sometimes whipping of people in the 1920's was done for the sport of the Klan "strong men" just to get some kicks. The Klan spread from the South into the West,and North due to the diverse attitudes that they held. For instance, they gained a foothold in Oregon,and even had a law passed which prohibited people from sending their children to private schools.This law was a direct slam at the schools run by the Catholic Church. In the South, where the Klan stillhad the greatest following, the Klan sometimes managed to control the politics of a state. AN EXAMPLE of this was an election held in Texas. For the election of a senator, there were six candidates who hadfiled for the position. Three of these people were members of the KKK. The Klan held a primaryconvention at which time they decided which of the three Klansmen they would support for theelection. Once they had made their decision, they threw all their support behind this one candidate. Asa result of this action, their candidate won the election by 120,000 votes. This is about the figure thatrepresented the number of KKK members in the state. The Klan did not have as large a following inthe large industrialized cities of the North. This was summed up by an article in a Chicago newspaper which said: "The general attitude of the community is one of hostility because of the large existenceof foreigners and the number of Catholics in the city." The objection the Klan had against the foreignerswas brought about by the flood of immigrants into the country at this time. This was particularly broughtabout by the third large immigration flow into the country during 1894. THE RELIGION of all theseimmigrants of this period was mainly Catholic. These new votes were sought after by the politicians ofthe day so the Klan derived from this fact that the Pope in Rome controlled the elections of theUnited States. This is what the Klan pushed to its members in the North, and they pushed similardoctrines in the West as well. NEXT WEEK: The KKK of Today.
