A fee schedule will go into effect if a strict parade ordinance, recently introduced to the1 BellinghamCity Council, meets the satisfaction of the councilmen. • The parade ordinance was introduced as a substitute for the old parade regulations which fell prey to mn lt; _xrifacism ^during the recent, courthearings involving peace marchers. THE NEW ordinance would re quire, formal application in writ-, ing of any person or group seeking march privileges. It must be filed with the local chief of police not lessthan 12 days prior to the proposed parade date. The application could be submitted up to three daysbefore the parade date, but the chief of police will have'sole authority to approve or disapprove of anyapplication. The fee charged would depend on the number of people or vehicles to be involved. Theproposed charge for 41 to 50. vehicles would be $20 an hour, while the price for a one-hour marchof 51-100 people would be $25. A special provision is included in the proposed ordinance stating thatstudents will not need a permit to move between classes. Another Veto In Store?

MONDAY'S BELL, quite similar to the one Munro vetoed, will set up a committee to formulate some suggested rules for poll-' taking on campus. That is,, ifMunro doesn't decide to veto this one too. . - "It appears to me that this bill is a possible infringementupon certain basic freedoms and I cannot see how this bill could be enforced," Munro told The Collegian. Those were Munro's reasons for vetoing the previous anti-poll bill. ! "There is a possibility that I mayveto this bill too," Munro added. When the old vetoed bill reached the table again, Progranji Vice-President Tony Tinsley and Legislator Clark Drummond attempted to persuade the legislators tooverride Munro's veto. • AFTER THIS plan failed, the new bill was introduced by Legislator DaveGoforth and it gained support from most of the board. Goforth stressed that polls shouldn't be allowedto handicap the trailing candidate in the waning hours of his campaign. "If aU polls are distributed aweek prior to the election, the losing candidate still has time to rally his supporters behind him," Goforthsaid. - Munro is in California attending a student body president's conference and won't be back oncampus for several, days. i He is expected to have decided whether or not he will veto Go-forth's bill bythe time he corned back. !

THE BILL stated that no action shall be taken by the commission until the city of Bellingham adopts anordinance providing that upon .completion the city will maintain the road. Substitute Senate Bill 42granted a sum oif $3,869,460 for the improvement of facilities at Western, Goltz said. "Among themore important of the upcoming improvements will be a conversion of Women's Resident Hall toacademic use, a complete remodeling of the south wing of Old Main and a completion of Phase II ofthe athletic fields," Goltz explained. He said that the money would also be used ito acquire propertyalong Garden and High Streets and to construct a science-math-computer center on campus. A federalgrant will be acquired to provide funds for the science building. Another project planned is theconstruction of an on-c a m p u s road connecting the College approach road to Highland Drive. Thisroad will give students access to the College and will eliminate traffic through the campus. "When the construction is completed," Goltz explained, "students will not have to cross any roads whilegoing between classes. The one exception will be the street in front of the Auditorium. All others will be blocked off." HE EXPLAINED that the Science- Math-Computer building will be constructed where the street in front of Carver Gymnasium now lies. An additional $2,871,000 was allocated to Western by another Senate bill for the construction of classrooms and faculty offices and an addition to theLibrary. A $583,000 Federal grant was also provided for this fundi Best Of All Worlds' Doubted ByLecturer "Is this the best of all possible world?" was the question raised by Dr. Terrence Penelhum of the University of Alberta, in Friday's Philosophy Club lecture. A major portion of the lecture focused on thepresence of evil in the world, which would seem to be a paradox if the world was created by an all-wise,all-powerful God. Dr. Penelhum pointed out that many Christians explain this by maintaining that.certain evils are necessary for good, for example: a person can't show forgiveness unless he hasharmed someone; one can't show fortitude unless there is danger. "This viewpoint, h o w e v e r, leavesus with some puzzling question," said Dr. Penelhum. "For example, is injury justified because it leads to forgiveness or sympathy?" He also dealt at length with the Christian doctrine of free will which is usedby some to justify some evil in the world. He said that many believers contend that some evils mustbe put in the world so man can make a choice for good, and that those evils which are a direct result ofmankind's bad choices are necessary to preserve man's free will. Summing up, Dr. Penelhum said,"Christians must say' that it is the best world that God could have created, but w i th qualifications. Aneven better world would be one where man had made better choices!" STARTING MAY 10 i etta andte*ti o*t duo- . versatile new musical duo widely acclaimed by Chicago's top niteries!"

I don't believe that this legislature isthe irresponsible petty organization or that Governor Evans is as golden as was implied. THeDemocratic members of the Legislature were elected on a program, just as was Governor Evans. Thisprogram included legislative redistricting, which was completed only after the Governor had vetoed twoconstitutional redistricting measures because they were "too political" and had interrupted , bi-partisan negotiations by introducing his personal redistricting bill, an outline of the Republican redistrictingproposed by the Republican cause. Redistricting is a political matter and the Democratic party is to becastigated for passing constitutional redistricting bills, according to the mandate of the Eederal DistrictCourt, the Governor should, in like manner, be criticized for extending the redistricting negotiationsby inserting partisan politics into bi-partisan negotiations. THE PLATFORM on which theDemocratic majority was elected included an increase in workman's compensation for injured laborers. Governor Evans vetoed this measure. But after the Legislature started action which would send- thematter, by referendum, to a vote of the people, he not only signed similar legislation but added onemillion dollars to the appropriations, overlooking his major objection presented in the veto message, jurytrials. Democratic majorities in the House and Senate passed, with consent from the two Republicanand five Democratic Congressmen from tliis state, a Congressional redistricting measure. But GovernorEvans, invoking his "combinations of pragmatism and idealism," vetoed it for partisan political reasons. Our governor campaigned for election criticizing "cronyism" on Governor Rosellini's staff, yet his firstfive appointments after Panel Tuesday Sex Mores will be discussed in another "Should We or Shouldn'tWe" panel at 4 p. m. Tuesday in the Viking Union lounge. Over 300 students attended this week's panelwhich discussed "Civil Disobedience." DEAN FOSTER manager, a high school class-taking office werebis campaign mate, and three of Governor Rosellini's advisors. Governor Evans has stressed the needfor increased aid to public schools, yet his proposed budget was well below that of Louis Bruno, statesuperintendent of public instruction, and the higher education budget decreased the faculty-studentratio (the basis on which this College receives state aid) at Western from 91 per cent to 83 per cent.ANY LEGISLATURE has responsibilities to its electorate, as does any governor. } But might not thereal question be, "Was Dan Evans elected because of his Blueprint for Progress or because thevoters of the state of Washington disapprove of threfe consecutive terms for a governor?" Only timeand coming elections will answer this question.

The singer, Carol Stuart of the Minneapolis Opera, will replace Sue Hall who was orginally cast in the role. ACCORDING TO Dr. Byron Sigler, who is directing t he opera, Miss Hall was the only studentwho could possibly do the part. There had been some doubt as to whether her voice was sufficientlystrong for the part, he commented. "It became obvious that in order to project the role properly, shewould have to push her voice, which might ruin it forever," he explained. Sigler stressed that thepresence of a professional singer in the cast will have great educational value for the othermembers. "The cast can learn a great deal simply by working with a guest artist for a short while,"Sigler said. Miss Stuart will be on campus ten days before the performance to rehearse with the cast.The policy governing the hiring of a professional artist for a student production was made last fall bythe Concert-Lecture committee, according to its chairman, Dr. F. Richard Ferringer. "The possibilityof requiring professional performers in the lead roles of the opera was then foreseen and approved,"Ferringer explained. Ferringer and music director Del Simon call the conditions of Miss Hall'sreplacement "unfortunate, but for the best." "Rather than risk her ruining her voice, as another singer In a past production !did ("Buttercup"), we feel that this is the best course of action,*' Simon added.Includes SNCC five-Member Political Union Formed Tuesday A lively brain-storming session byrepresentatives of several campus clubs Tuesday resulted in the formation of a political union,consisting of five clubs. Function of the political union, according to organizers, will be to provideeducational programs on political and social issues, improve communications between various clubson campus and generally aid student political awareness at Western.

But that's the case hereon campus, Friday, May 7, 1965, where class government is finally getting the once overtreatment—and maybe for once and for all. Class government is admittedly nonexistent. A primeexample of this fact can easily be derived from a stroll through class meeting attendance records (ifany are even kept). The sophomore class boasted five whole students at their meeting this week. Thewhole clincher lies in the fact that those five students selected the class nominee for the representativeto the Legislature. We know damned well he can't be beat at the polls. Our stand calls for the committeeto leave class government at Western as is—with one exception: remove the class representative fromthe Legislature. He is no longer a representative when an obvious handful actually select him. There are still a few menial tasks and a few services performed by the classes, so why be negative andabolish them? The fact that they are being investigated should be inspiration enough for the officers tostart re-vitalization plans—John Stolpe.

Not only dowe wholeheartedly support their belief that the federal government's tactics in Viet Nam have beenthoroughly justified, we especially like the manner in which these student organizers plan todemonstrate their beliefs. Instead of staging a lengthy march through the downtown area causingunnecessary work for Bellingham's police force and hard feelings on behalf of many downtownshoppers and visitors to the city, the students plan to simply conduct a rally. They have tentativelydecided to invite several Western students who have fought in Viet Nam to relate their experiencesto interested students and townspeople. The rally will probably be held here on campus. much fairerThe cries of glee over the Education Department's removal of the English Competency Test becameshort-lived when students discovered that the change was only a revision. The new test situation calls for a mastery of spelling, a knowledge of the mechanics of English and competency in writingcompositions. This change is neither a lowering nor a raising of standards but was made merelybecause of the burden involved in grading a large number of essay examinations. Complaints are stillheard that the members of the Education Department expect everyone to be an English major. This,however, is not the case. Passing the English Competency Test does not require a student to useperfect grammar and excellent techniques of writing but it does require As long as we are discussingmarches, we are forced to comment on charges made publicly by several members of Western'sStudent Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) chapter on campus that recent coverages of their marches by this newspaper have been editorialized. These charges are entirely false. Our coverages ofthe peace marches have at times been more accurate and more extensive than any other press medium in the area. If you really want to read a choice example of editorialized, exaggerated garbage, take aglance at SNCC's own newsletter. We feel that these campus reformers should lend a little of their "vast journalistic knowledge" to cleaning up their own paper before they take The Collegian to task inpublic.—Editorial Board. the prospective teacher to be able to communicate with people. Without suchcommunication, a person would be futile in any attempt to teach a class. For this reason the English Competency Test has been used to weed out incompetent studens. The provisions of the present test,however, are much fairer to the student. Competency can be shown during an entire quarter rather thanin. two hit-or- miss hours. For those who, fail the test, special "help sessions" will be held to try tocorrect difficulties. The Education Department, then, is siding with the students in its attempt to produce capable teachers. Requirements for students in the Teacher Education program are stiff, but theDepartment does all it can to help capable students clear all hurdles. —Jim Pearson '. . .

She is correctin stating that only 20 persons were present at the particular meeting she attended. But, The Bulletin, an official notification, did carry notice of the meeting and a reference to the election of officers. Although "seemingly irrelevant, two meetings since Jan. 1 can be cited that idrew 75-150 persons. "Do allorganizations rely upon the faithfulness of a core for the burden of responsibility?

SPENCER HIGBY, SWEA Past Local President Present State President SWEA ANSWERSEditor, the Collegian, In response to one of last week's letters, I wish to clarify several points regardingStudent WEA and .my request for monetary assistance to attend the National Leadership Conference ofthe Student NEA. ~Miss Wetmore stated that she had attended several meetings of Student WEAand had never seen more than 25 people in attendance. To my knowledge there have been only twomeetings during the year with attendance that low. Both of the other meetings this quarter have hadattendance quite in excess of this number. The mock interview last quarter was attended by more than150 students. Other meetings have had between 35 and 75 people in attendance. As for the elections,held at the last meeting, they had been announced in the daily bulletin. As a state officer I attended the National Convention last summer. The knowledge and experience I gained enabled me to plan anddirect two Regional meetings, termed the most successful in the history of Student WEA; it enabledme to initiate the Achieve 25 Plan for Student WEA; as well as to work on other projects leading tothe "Award for an Outstanding Contribution toward Selective Teacher Recruitment" which I receivedfrom the Washington Education Association. I feel that attendance at this year's National Conventionwill prepare me to lead the local chapter of Student WEA to a most -successful year and would benefit a large number of students at Western. Referring to Miss Wetmore's comment that "SWEA couldshow some seriousness of purpose by offering to raise part of this money . . ." I have several comments: The request made of the student government was for transportation only—there is an additional $200which must be raised to cover expenses while at the convention. This $200 will come from my personalschool savings and from Student WEA after the annual $100 scholarship is awarded. The decision tosend me to the convention is a recent decision and has not allowed time to plan a dance or sponsor afilm, but we are planning to undertake such a project in the fall to help defer part of the $200 livingexpenses. If there be any further questions regarding Student WEA or my request for transportationfunds I will gladly meet with any interested individuals or any group and explain my position and views.

Mindful of this year's National Library Week slogan— "Know what you'retalking about —read"—I urge each student to inform, himself as fully and quickly as possible, andthen, after rational reflection, to express himself where it counts most on this most critical issue.WILLIAM H. O. SCOTT Mr. President: . The time has come for someone to speak out on behalf of thegreat body of your countrymen who regard with abhorrence the course to which you are commit-, tingthe United States in Vietnam. As a holder of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, I have a duty to sayplainly-, and in public, what millions of patriotic fellow citizens are saying in the privacy of their homes.Namely, that the course you are jibw -following affronts both our practical'judgment and our moral sejise. Neither your manners nor your methods give us any assurance that your policy will lead to a good end:on the contrary, -your attempt to cure by military force a situation that has been brought about by ourown arrogant, onesided political assumptions cannot have any final destination short of anirremediable nuclear catastrophe. That would constitute the terminal illness of our whole civilization,and your own people, no less than the Vietnamese and the Communists would be the helplessvictims. In embarking on this program, you are gambling with your country's future, because you havenot the courage to discard a losing hand and start a new deal, though this was the magnificentopportunity that your election presented to you. Your games theorists Jiave persuaded you to playRussian Roulette. But you cannot save the Government's face by blowing out our country's brains. From the beginning, the presence of American forces in Vietnam, without the authority of the UnitedNations, was in defiance of our own solemn commitment when we helped to form, that body. Our steady involvement with the military dictators who are waging civil war in South Vietnam, with our extravagantfinancial support and underhanded military co-operation, is as indefensible as our Government'soriginal refusal to permit a popular election to be held in Vietnam, lest communism should beinstalled by popular vote. Your attempt now to pin the whole blame on the government of North Vietnamdeceives no one except those whose wishful thinking originally committed us to our highhandedintervention: the same set of agencies and intelligences that inveigled us into the Bay of Pigs disaster.Instead of using your well-known political adroitness to rescue our country from the militarymiscalculations and p o l i t i c a l blunders that created our impossible position in Vietnam, you now,casting all caution to the winds, propose to increase the area of senseless destruction andextermination, without having any other visible ends in view than to conceal our political impotence. Intaking this unreasonable course, you not merely show a lack of "decent respect for the opinions ofmankind," but you likewise mock and betray all our country's humane traditions. SHAKEY'S PIZZAPARLOR Ye Olde Public House This betrayal is all the more sinister because you are now, it is plain, obstinately committing us to the very military policy that your countrymen rejected when they sooverwhelmingly defeated the Republican candidate. Before you go further, let us tell you clearly: yourprofessed aims are emptied of meaning by your totalitarian tactics and your nihilistic strategy. We areshamed by your actions, and revolted by your dishonest excuses and pretexts. What is worse, we are horrified by the immediate prospect of having our country's fate in the hands of leaders who, time and again, have shown their inability to think straight, to correct their erorrs, or to get out of a bad situation without creating a worse one. The Government has forfeited our confidence; and we will oppose, with every means available within the law, the execution of this impractical, and above all, morallyindefensible policy. There is only one way in which you can remove our opposition or regain ourconfidence; and that is to turn back from the course you have taken and to seek a human way out.LEWIS MUMFORD Amenia, N.Y. (Ed. Note: The Collegian editorial staff strongly disagrees with Mr.Scott's and Mr. Mum-ford's point of view in regards to gt; the Vietnam situation.

A massive machine with an orginal commercial value of $100,000, it has been an aid to theadministration and to students and faculty in many departments of the College, according to George Witter, director of the computer center. The computer was paid for with IBM and National ScienceFoundation grants supplemented by state funds. Additional equipment is being rented from theInternational Business Machine Corporation. The machine has two principal purposes. It is primarily aninstructional tool for students and a research aid for faculty, and secondly an administrative machine used by the registrar and the business office. The data processing center, an administrativedepartment, is located next to the computer room to facilitate mutual sharing of equipment. Studentsinterested in learning to use the computer are offered a three-credit math course called "Digital Computer Programming," Techniques of programming and running the computer are taught, and students who pass the course are qualified to use the machine on their own or with the help of a cooperatingprofessor. Some of these students are hired by the faculty as programmer analysts. ONE GREATadvantage offered to Westernites, said Witter, is the fact that qualified persons may use the computerat no charge. Some institutions bill users by the hour. The system here is similar to the library—anyperson schooled to run the machine is entitled to use it at no cost. At the present time the machine is in use about eight hours a day. There is some night operation which will increase with the needs of the students and faculty. Right now there is no staff to operate the computer. A civil service employeewill be hired as soon as possible to fill the position of "programmer analyst"— one who will designprojects for the computer as well as run the machine. ANOTHER PROBLEM facing the computerusers is inadequate office space, according to Witter, director of the computer center. There is a great deal of literature pertaining to the machine that should be nearby, but there is no reading area. Aspecialized area for the computer is in the planning stage.

STUDENT CO-OP OPENSATURDAY 9-1 "NO SHOP MORE CONVENIENT" One example of the computer's feats is the recent"ideal date" feature of WUS Week. This program was written by three Western students: Myron M il l e r, Robert Baxter and Rich Thompson. Hundreds of IBM cards were fed into the machine andsorted mechanically. The program was described by Witter as "very complex" and involved a total of100 hours, or four days of machine time. This same idea, with minor revisions, may be used in thefuture to coordinate the selection supervising instructors for student teachers. The computer hasbeen used in such departments as physics, language, geography education psychology, biology andeconomics to aid with research projects. As the system expands the uses of the machine willbecome even more complex and varied. One feature of the machine that seems amazing to the fallible human mind is the fact that if it is given the correct instructions the computer is practically infallible.According to Witter it is "simple minded . . . it glories in repetitive speed," usually the downfall of thehuman calculator.

About the sixth time the young |— ~~ '•, man screamed, one of the spectators suggested that the officer might not twist his lootquite so hard. "He'll just kick me again," said the cop. ".Besides, we're not hurting him." And then astrange thing happened. Just as some of the spectators were beginning to boil with righteousindignation, the young man stopped screaming. He looked at a friend who was standing near-by and in calm, reasonable tones said he had done nothing wrong and that the policeman had "grabbed him frombehind." Then he started screaming again. "Apparently he had a nervous breakdown," the man standing next to me said ."He started ripping his apartment apart, and beating his head on the wall. Then heran out into the street." "I think he's a law student at the university," he added.

She had only turned her head for an instant to speak to her son, but in that instant Ron, the driver of the car ahead, had slowed down, and Martha ran into him. Ron suedMartha. He stated that as he approached the intersection he saw a bus coming from his right at a high rate of speed. Fearing that the bus might not stop, Ron slowed his car to about 10 miles per hour. Hewas about to increase his speed again when Martha hit him. Martha claimed that the accident was not her fault. "There was no stop sign for the street We were driving on," she pointed out. "If the bus wascoming too fast and caused Ron to slow down, the accident was the fault of the bus driver, not me." IsMartha correct? Was the bus driver's action the cause of the accident? Not in this case, said the court.The brake lights on Ron's car were working. There would have been no accident if Martha had beenwatching where she was going. Ron had merely reduced' his speed. Although he was not justified in assuming that the bus was going to cross the intersection without stopping, he was, as a cautiousdriver, justified in reducing his speed when approaching the intersection. If the actions of the busdriver had been such that Ron would have been prompted to make a fast, unusual stop, the result of the case might have been otherwise. However, in this case Ron's actions, although particularly cautious;were not a substantial factor in causing the accident. • Martha lost the case. NAACP: Victim OfInjustice (First of Three Articles) By VERNON GIESBRECHT Collegian Staff Reporter Almost 100 y e ar s after the b i r t h of Abraham Lincoln, a w h i t e mob surged through t h e s t r e e t s of Springfield,Illinois, looting and b u r n i n g Negro homes, i n j u r i n g 70 persons and d r i v i n g hundreds ofNegroes from t h e city, f o r m e r l y t h e h o m e of t h e .Great Emancipator.

Outraged bythis affair, three white citizens met in New York during the first week of 1909 to discuss the deplorablestate of race relations in the U. S. The three—Mary White Oving-ton, a young social worker, WilliamWalling, a southern journalist with liberal racial views, and Henry Moskovitz, a Jewish social worker,decided to issue a call for Br conference, and had it signed by 60 prominent Americans, includingWilliam Lloyd Garrison, Lincoln Steffens and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. The document was released onFebruary 12, 1909, the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth, and resulted in a three-day conference inMay. At this meeting the National Negro Committee was organized, composed of 40 members, bothNegro and white. At the second annual meeting the next year, a new name was chosen, the NationalAssociation for the Advancement of Colored People. The purpose of the organization was: "Topromote equality of rights and eradicate race prejudice; to advance the interest of colored citizens; tosecure for them impartial suffrage; and to increase their opportunities for securing justice in the courts,education for their children, employment according to their ability, and complete equality beforethe law."

The magazine of the NAACP, The Crisis, was edited by Dr. Du- Bois, the foremostNegro intellectual of the day, and quickly became America's leading publication devoted to theNegro. From an initial issue of 1,000 copies its circulation eventually rose to over 100,000, leading tothe establishment of branch offices as far west as Tacoma, Washington. After only a decade, theorganization boasted 310 branches, in spite of the ever-present shadow of violence, especially in theSouth. Despite the encouraging numerical growth, The NAACP faced many difficulties — conservative whites and even some prominent Negroes attacked it as "radical;" powerful philanthropists withheldtheir aid; few newspapers anywhere gave it sympathetic coverage; in some cities The Crisis couldnot be sold openly. The severest blow, however was the indifference of federal and local law enforcementagencies. ITHEBELLINGHAM! I NATIONAL BANK J 5 'Locally Owned and Operated! I Since 1904" IjCORNWALL H O L L Y I !

WHEN NAACP investigators would uncover a shocking violation of the Negroes' rights, their requests for justice were usually ignored. In 1916, Woodrow Wilson was elected President for thesecond time and, in spite of campaign promises favoring Negro rights, segregation continued in.the na-tional~ capital and in federal offices, and racial violence continued all over the country. A majorobjective of the NAACP was the abolition of lynching, and here they had to contend with the incrediblebigotry and callousness of many Americans. In three years, 1916- 1918, 173 people were hanged orburned, often while a large mob howled in glee. In most cases the lynchers could be clearly identified,but were not arrested. A major contribution to awakening the national conscience was the publication ofan exhaustive study of lynching records, "Thirty Years of Lynching in the United States, 1889-1918".Some :a 1 m o s t unbelievable scenes are recorded in the book, including one which took place inWaco., Texas, where a 19-year-old Negro was burned alive in the public square, to the cheers of 10,000men, women and children. Despite many similar atrocities, an anti-lynching bill, introduced at therequest of the NAACP, failed to survive a southern filibuster in the Senate. The NAACP continued itsfight to stop lynching, putting a full page ad in the N.Y. Times with the heading THE SHAME OFAMERICA: marching down New York's Fifth Avenue in a "Silent Protest Parade;" presenting briefs to the Federal Commission on Law Enforcement. In 1936, when lynchings had decreased somewhat but werestill frequent, they prepared a large banner which they would string across New York's Fifth Avenue when a lynching was discovered. The black and white banner read "A Man Was Lynched Yesterday."Through the years, the NAACP won many important victories, of which the following are examples: In1912 it prevented the discharge of Negro firemen on the Southern Railroad. During WWI it won apartial victory over military prejudice, providing a school for training Negro officers. IN 1930 it opposedthe nomination of John Parker as U.S. Supreme Court judge, since he had referred to politicalparticipation by Negroes as "a source of evil and a danger to both races." A dramatic six-week campaign bore fruit, as the Senate rejected Parker by two votes. A gigantic march on Washing-planned for July,1941 was prevented by President Roosevelt, but not before he set up the Fair Employment Paractices Committee, which made great progress toward employment on the basis of ability alone. Significantthrough the early victories were, they were merely a slight indication of what would soon beaccomplished. Next week: Pinning Down tfee Law.

To accomplish thisremarkable feat, she s t a r t e d school at t h e age of 4, which is not uncommon in Kenya. Talkingabout education, Miss Moikobu said that there is no set starting age in Kenya schools and parents send their children when they feel the child is ready. "I think our system of education is fantastic!" MissMoikobu exclaimed. "There are no repeaters, even in the lower grades. Those that fail drop out instead of hindering students who are capable of continuing." Miss Moikobu speaks flawless English, andwhat's more, is conversant in French, Swahili and five native dialects. She said a number of languages are taught in elementary school; first the local dialect, then Swahili (the most common language inAfrica), and finally English. Study of these languages is continued through high school. "A schoolyear in Kenya runs from January to November," Miss Moikobu said," with vacations during April,August, and December. The curriculum is prescribed by the government, which sets exams aftergrade 12. I'm proud to say that a very high percentage of students in Kenya complete high school andget their certificate." MISS MOIKOBU finished high school at 16, and was granted a scholarship by theUniversity of Alaska. Her introduction to the 49th State was rather disappointing. "I arrived in Alaskalate, so I lost my scholarship" she remarked ruefully. "I worked my way through school and got a jobin a hospital for the summers since I had a nursing certificate. I managed to earn enough money topay my sister's way here. She is studying in a college in Alaska now." While in Alaska, Miss Moikobuheard of Western's fine reputation, and decided to enroll after completing her freshman and sophomore years. She started at Western in Spring, 1964, majoring in Sociology-Anthropology with an Englishminor. When asked about her impressions of Western, she said, "I enjoy it here very much; thestudents are friendly and the general atmosphere is good. I think the facilities are wonderful, muchbetter than in Alaska." Miss Moikobu had planned to spend two years at Western, but an offer from New York changed her plans. The East African and American governments invited her to teach Swahili toPeace Corps workers this summer and the next year, if possible. She got permission to revise herschedule, and is doing well despite her awesome credit load. She has not been home since shestarted college and confessed, "The letters I get from home every two weeks are all that keep me going." She spoke with nostalgia of her home in Kenya, where there are "plantations of tea, coffee and best ofall, tropical fruits."

Miss Moikobu'ssixteen-year-old brother is graduating this year and will enroll at the University of Alaska. A youngerbrother and sister are still at home in Kenya. Miss Moikobu commented on the climate in her hometown, and said it was very similar to Bellingham's.

It isthe goal of the committee, headed by Legislator Dick Cray, to establish a center where students canhear professors with special interests and knowledge in certain areas lecture or discuss problems ofcurrent interest. There will also be, if plans are carried out, a teletype machine to receive news as ithappens and a television set. The room will also be filled with maps and reference magazines andnewspapers. THE CENTER will be staffed by a salaried Public Affairs Center Coordinator. He would1report ito the executive vice president for programming and to the director of student activities forfacilities. Various volunteers to man the facility will be requested at a later date. It is expected that it will take nearly three-thousand dollars to get the center in operation. The center will also be a gatheringplace for students to talk about current affairs—^and such groups .could meet there as Peo-ple- To-People and the Model United Nations group. Cray said that he would like to see the center so set up as to have a professor available to discuss a late-breaking crisis within 24 hours after it occurs.

Garden and Holly The ASLegislature took action Monday establishing a committee to take a serious look at the worth of classgovernment—just as class officer elections are on the horizon. Many student leaders have beenseriously questioning just how important class government is to the bulk of students. "I seriouslyquestion the necessity of class government on this campus," AS President Ralph Munro said. Heappointed a committee chaired by Legislator Denny Freeburn to do the investigating. The four classpresidents and four interested students chosen by Freeburn will work on the committee.

AL'SEASTSIDE SAVE-WELL College Bill Gets Approval A bill, approved by the legislature, authorizing an immediate commencement of construction on two new community colleges and the construction ofthree more in 1967 was sent to the Governor Tuesday for his approval. If the measure passes, theamount of two-year colleges in Washington would raise to 22. The construction of community colleges in Seattle and Edmonds will begin immediately and in 1967 similar schools will be started in CloverPark, Edmonds and Walla WailS. Approximately $150,000 was provided by the bill, a compromiseversion of separate Senate and House bills, for the construction of;the three schools in 1967; The billalso contains a provision allowing community cot-. leges to eliminate vocational and technical courses from their programs if these courses are offered by the local school district. is a growing trend amongthe larger colleges today to dump that element of student government. The committee will weigh theworth of the class projects and will pay serious attention to figures regarding recent attendance atclass meetings. The junior class met this week and selected its nominee for class representative to theLegislature. Their were only five juniors present. The fairness of appropriate representation is beinginvestigated.
