The watery mess began on the muddy banks of the coldNook-sack at Nugent's Bridge near Deming at 6 a. m. The river was moving along at six knots—justright for raft racing. Alpha Phi Omega fraternity had challenged anyone in the county to a raft race, andits four-man log and barrel entry lay ready on the bank. Highland Hall's entry was a styrofoam raft.slapped together with a thin plywood seat. The crew, Charlie Burton and Jerry steel barrel model.

The impact threwKnowles and Captain Swanson headfirst into the river. Stolpe and the other Swanson twin managed tobeach the raft about a quarter-mile downstream from the impact. The Titantic's team decided to scuttletheir raft after regrouping. Just before the wet crew swam for safety off the island they were wreckedupon, they spotted two more shipwrecked rafters upstream on another island. The two motioned to the Titan-tic crew that they were heading for shore too—only on the opposite side of the river. Their rafttoo had to be scuttled and that was the last the Titantic crew saw of them until Monday morning.WITH PADDLES in hand, the Titantic crew swam for shore.

This year's book is bound in a hard maroon cover and boasis 104 pages, including many inbrilliant color. Last year's Klipsun brought a barrage of criticism and a few book-burnings were reportedto boot, but Editor Lloyd Strong is confident that students will be satisifed with the latest production.Four pages are devoted to Peter, Paul and Mary; three for President Bunke's inauguration; and includedare 436 mugshots of underclassmen, not to mention the senior class. Students may pick up their Klip-suns in room 3 of the Viking Union, 9-5 p. m. today through next Thursday. They are free, having been paid for from student fees. No bookburnings are predicted this year. Dorm Rooms To Hike $8 StartingFall Quarter Effective Fall Quarter, dormitory room rates will be raised $8 p e r s t u d e n t per year,Gerald Brock, Director of Housing, announced early this week. The Board of Trustees decided on thehike because residence halls are self-supporting and the costs of labor have risfln, Brock stated..•••! He also told The Collegian that since the cost of living goes up annually, so must the costsin dorm rooms. "The rates will be higher fall quarter and cheaper spring quarter, with winter remainingabout the same," Brock said. THE RATES will be redistributed each quarter and will no longer befigured out in relation to the number of days in the term, he added. "Many students come to Westernfall quarter, but don't plan on staying through the entire year," Brock explained. May Join Political Union In a way, he said, these students will be penalized by having to pay more fall quarter than they wouldhave to the other quarters. Presently, room rates run on the average of $25 per month and the raise willamount to about one dollar per month. With the addition of the new Ridgeway dormitory complex onHighland Drive, there will be an additional 368 rooms fall term. THE NEW complex will provide 444 newrooms, but the 76-room Women's Residence Hall (WRH) will no longer be used for housing students. Itwill be converted into classrooms. The announcement of room rate hikes came in the wake of growing speculation that the Board of Trustees will also be forced to increase student tuition starting FallQuarter as well. The amount of a tuition raise will probably be in the neighborhood of five to six dollarsper quarter. The University of Washington's Board of Regents just got through raising their tuitions ten dollars per quarter last week. College Bowl Four Face Rhode Is. Next SDS, YAF form Clubs Here Twopolitically-orientated groups located on opposite ends of t h e political spectrum, Students for aDemocratic Society (SDS) a n d t h e New Conservatives, were chartered on campus Tuesday. SDS, aliberal organization, and New Conservatives were accepted as official clubs by the Public AffairsCommission and it is speculated that both groups will become members of the newly-formedPolitical Union. Both clubs are still in the advanced organizational stage, according to ExecutiveVice President Dean Foster, chairman of the PAC. "SDS has nine members, while the NewConservatives have twelve," Foster reported. THE NEW Conservatives, actually a chapter of YoungAmericans for Freedom (YAF), has already applied for admission to the Political Union. NewConservative Chairman John Gregory announced that his club will be seeking new members at itsmeeting Tuesday evening. SDS will be mainly concerned with Civil Rights education involvingstudents. "It will give a voice to peace movements and student reforms, if necessary, and will raisemoney to support slum projects in northern cities," Mike Burr, a member of the new club, told TheCollegian yesterday. He also said that SDS's stand wilt be against the war in Viet Nam. On the otherhand, the New Conservatives basically support President Johnson's policies in Viet Nam and theDominican Republic.

Western eased ahead in the early stages and held an 85-65 lead at halftime. In the second half, the all-male Randolph-Macon team, from Ashland, Va.,whittled away at Western's lead, and pulled to within five points when time ran out.

Sharon Counter, the president of Alpha, wasgreatly pleased and said the girls had earned it. Some of the activities that helped them win suchan award are: Big-little sister greetings for freshmen; dinner of the quarter; recognition of 3.0 grade pointstudents, Christmas decorations; Mothers' Weekend activities; a children's party and much more(including exercises in the main lounge). Congratulations to an active dorm! The outgoing AWSCommission has just recently amended its constitution so that newly-elected officers will take office at the beginning of Spring Quarter next year—one month after their election instead of June, threemonths after their election. It is hoped that by giving the new officers their power more quickly, they mayuse it and any problems that arise may be worked out with the out-going officers during the spring.On most other campuses in our state, the AWS official year also extends from the beginning of springquarter through the following winter quarter. Last Tuesday the old and new cabinet of AWS met atDean Powers' home for an orientation of the incoming cabinet. The program was titled -'Orientate,Evaluate and Recreate." A dinner followed the program. A hearty thanks and congratulations go toPenny Jo Smith and Margaret Roth sfior doing such a fine job on Mothers' Weekend.

Jointly produced by the Music and Speech Departments, this opera was written byDouglas Moore and concerns the' life of Horace Tabor, played by Bob Hirtzel. The time is the 1880'sand the by-word is silver which had more meaning then, than it does now. Horace .Tabor becamefabulously rich through silver and remained that way until the United States decided to change to thegold standard — which completely knocked the props out from under silver. Tabor is reduced tonothing and dies penniless and alone except for his beloved Baby Doe whom he married while at thetop and who stayed with him until the end. But behind the story that is unfolding on stage, there is even a greater story that began weeks before the opening night. This concerns the hours put in rehearsing, building,, painting and practicing in order that the biggest and best production possible could bepresented. According to William Birner, set and lighting designer, "15,000 to 20,000 manhours is only aconservative guess." But for the 115 persons involved in the production, it has truly been aneducational experience. Dr. Paul Wad-leigh, as stage manager, reflected this fact when he stated that this production was "educational theatre at its best." This view not only goes for the theatrical part ofthe show but also for the musical part. Both CAROL STUART Pro Singer Dr. Osborn, director of theorchestra, and Del Simon, voice director, feel that, although many hours have been put in, theexperience gathered is well worth the effort and the extra feeling in the performance is frosting on thecake.

Of course any production cannot be complete without costumes and Don Adams has outdonehimself with those for "Ballad of Baby Doe." They are, like the sets, done in late American, Victorian and, in the words of Adams, are as monumental a task for Western's facilities as those of"Cleopatra" were for the movie industry. PUT ALL these forces together and there appears a performance which cannot be missed. When asked what the show represented, Dr. Byron Sigler, director of theshow, replied with a quote from O'Neal which reflects the efforts of all concerned. "All those who strive for a good production are men and women with ' feet of iron and dreamers'."

Meanwhile, Stolpe and the Swansontwins headed back to the river to look for the Highland rafters. They didn't find anything and feared that the two might not reach safety across the river. In the meantime, Knowles, at the request ofGullickson, phoned the Sheriff's Office to notify them of the situation. When Deputy Sheriff JamesTooker arrived, about the same time as Gullickson, it was decided to launch a search on both sides ofthe river. But to no one's knowledge, the Highland twosome was on an island searching for plantspecimens for Burton's botany class. After two hours searching the riverbanks, Gullickson drove theTitantic's crew back to Belling-ham— all suffering from exposure after the cold river dip. DEPUTYSHERIFF Tooker continued the search and, becoming worried, signalled the call for an all-out searchwhich eventually involved the Marines, Coast Guard, Federal Aviation Agency, and local MountainRescue teams. In the meantime, Burton and Stansfield, suspecting no worry for their safety, hailed aride downstream with a group of late starters in a twelve-man rubber raft belonging to Ridgeway Hall. AtFerndale the raft was pulled over and the escalated search was ended. The time was 5 p. m. But beforethe two were found, Gullickson had returned frtim town with AS Program Vice-President Tony Tinsleyto help search. They combed the riverbanks for two hours befbre coming upon an old leaky canoe.Deciding to search downstream in the canoe, they bailed their way out into the river. But, they too raninto a log-jam and were spilled into the icy current. Soaking wet, Gullickson was given a stern scoldingby rescue officials when they ran into him later. And, despite all the excitement upstream, a six-mancrew of Ferndale High School boys drifted across the finish line at Marietta Bridge, some 25 miles fromthe original starting point. They made it in some seven hours of floating, rowing and dodging rocks andlog-jams. They were identified as Gary Gopps, Jeff Ruff, Craig Brand, Leif Erickson, Mike Leighton andJeff McSorley. They were sponsored by a Ferndale paint shop. THEIR RAFT was the one constructed of two torpedo-like supports. No prize was awarded to the crew, just "glory," APO reported later.The other steel barrel entry from Bellingham also finished the race. Before it was all over on that partlycloudy day down on the Nooksack, several thousand dollars in rescue efforts were expended andWestern's two chances of claiming the river raft victory went downstream in a swoosh of muddy riverwater. Grants Awarded To Faculty, Students A pair of science study grants amounting to $19,100, a$2,700 graduate fellowship, and a national scholarship were recently awarded to Western facultymembers and students. The National Science Foundation awarded Dr. John Erickson of the biology department a grant of $14,400 for research in genetics.

This year slipped by so darned fast that when Klipsun EditorLloyd Strong announced last night that the yearbook would be distributed today, we almost fell off ourbarstool. Somehow yearbooks just seem to go along with burning the midnight oil for finals week,chasing tennis balls down the street in bermuda shorts, and lying on green lawns chatting about thatsummer job or vacation. This year's annual is quite frankly one of the best in recent years. It isextremely well-organized, the photog-r raphy is superior, and the coverage is adequate for the book'sbudget. That's a lot to say considering that last year's $10,000 catastrophe was a flop if we ever sawone. BUT WHAT impresses this editor most is t he fact that this year's Klipsun staff—both ofthem—did their very best to produce a book that not only gives the students their money's worth, butadds something to everyone's personal collection that will be worth reading ten or twenty years fromnow. That too is a heckuva lot to say since this year's Klipsun budget was the same as the one whichpaid for last year's glorified magazine-type pseudo-annuial. The final words in the 1965 Klipsun sort ofsum-up the staff's whole intention to please the student body with their creation: "Klipsun is an Indianword meaning 'setting sun/ As the sun sets on our publication year, the weary remnants of a staff ofseven, sincerely hope we have provided a quality annual." Indeed, they have and for that little fact we tipour crumpled press caps. Now that we have passed out all t he roses, let's sling a little mud. The bookisn't perfect, but there are some things that might have been improved upon. There were only 436mugshots printed in the new book, but we can't possibly throw mud in the Klipsun staff'seyes—rather the students, including some of our own staff, are to blame. The mugshots cost only onelousy buck and now that the book is in print, we can see why they tried so hard to get everyone to havetheir pictures taken. It now looks like we have only 436 undergrads on campus—hardly representative. But, in general, the 1965 Klipsun is worth every dollar it took to send it to the( presses. We encourageevery student on campus to pick up their copy iri the basement of the Viking Union today or nextweek. It's something worth keeping.—Stolpe. hardly the time for games The Administration is getting to t he point where it's starting to play games again, but this time they're tossing around the verypocketbook of the Associated Students. The AS Legislature has spent the past two weeks hashingover next year's Associated Students budget and after 15 hours of heated debate, the solons whittleddown the total requested to $93,950. But after the budget request was finalized, AS President RalphMunro was advised that the Administration couldn't possibly be expected to cough up such a sum fromfees expected to be forked over next year. The Administration claimed that only $93,000 could beanticipated on the basis of 5,000 students attending Western next year. Munro and AS FinanceOfficer Tom Gaines accepted the advice as The Word and drew up some proposed cuts which theyshoved before the AS Legislature Monday afternoon. But the solons noticed a discrepancy in thesuggestion. Executive Vice President Dean Foster pointed out that the Administration tells everyoneand his dog that 5,200 students will be on campus next year, but when they talk in terms of studentbudgets, the head count mysteriously dwindles to 5,000. The Associated Students operates on fundsgranted by the Administration based on the number of students expected on campus the followingyear. The more students, the more money that could be expected. If 5,200 students are to be oncampus next year, as the Administration has told the Federal Government and the State Legislaturemany times, the Associated Students could expect $93,600 to operate with next year. So, the solonsdidn't take the bait Monday—they chopped their budget all right, but it now reads $93,600 and that'sjust about what they can expect. We see no reasons for any hanky-panky at this stage in thegame—especially when room rates for next year are going to be upped $8 and that tuition raise is analmost sure-thing now. Tuition will probably be in the neighborhood of $5 or $6 higher next fall. .

From these people, 8 became the cheering staff, and they were chosen for theirappearance, style, poise, personality, and most importantly, their skill at doing various routines. But,were they? And who were the judges? Are one or two members of any club that show up at the tryoutsQualified to make this decision? We feel, along with many others, that a new system for selection of the cheering squad should be established. For one thing, cheer and song leaders should be picked on thebasis of their ability to work as a team, not individually. The judges should be representative of thestudent body and faculty.

BARBARA COUDEN SANDY HANSSONIRENE GUNNETTE JANICE DEVORE 0#E OF BARRY'S BOYS SPEAKS Editor, The Collegian: Sixmonths ago I was called a right wing extremist, a war monger, a war hawk, and any other number ofnames, most not fit for print. Why was this? It was because I supported Barry Goldwater, a presidentialcandidate who had the foresight to advocate then what President Johnson has found necessary to dotoday in South Viet Nam. To most people such words as "freedom" and "liberty" and "free choice"sound like a lot of corny flag waving. It is only when a small, violent, terrorist minority in the form of t!ieViet Cong attempt to impose their totalitarian government on a nation does one understand the truemeaning of these words. Some people say that the Viet Nam crisis is nothing more than a revolutionattempting to overthrow a dictatorship. This may or may not be true. It does not really matter. Non-communist dictatorships rise and fall, come and go; South Viet Nam is no exception. Notice that Iqualify this last statement by saying ' 'non-communist.'' Except for a very few shortlived Bolshevikregimes in Eastern Europe right after World War I, no communist government has ever allowed itself to pass from power by any means, for any reason. As intelligent college students, you, the readers,can see the necessity for the United States action in South Viet Nam. All I would ask is that you lookaround you to see who the true extremists are.

Dean Foster, currently executive vice-president, will take over as chairman of the summer Board ofControl (BOO effective the beginning of Summer Quarter. Dan Barkley, freshman class president, wasappointed by the Legislature to take over as National Student Association (NSA) coordinator oncampus beginning fall quarter and running; through next year. FOSTER'S BOC runs the functions ofthe Legislature during* the summer months, while Barkley's new post will be to coordinate the activitiesand services of NSA for the campus next year. There may be a little rough water waiting for Barkleythough, since his appointment was contested and a protest was sent to the Judiciary Board. Program Vice President Tony Tinsley and Legislator-at-Large Clark Drummond felt that Foster didn't go throughthe "right channels" in suggesting Barkley's appointment. They felt that he should have presented threenominees before the board, but instead he just suggested Barkley alone. Drummond called Barkley'sappointment a 'pork barrel' job. He thinks that Foster had no intention of nominating anyone else.THE JUDICIARY will.decide on An Open Forum Opinion Conservative ¥iew Of Free Speech Is Narrow-Minded DEAN FOSTER Summer BOC Chairman the legality of the appointment at their next meeting.On the other hand, Foster claims the appointment is within the AS by-laws and is completely legal, asdoes AS President Ralph Munro. I © VO L K S_WA G. ELN_0 P. A M EWCA, I N5 gt;' By KENGEARY During the last week Western has been subjected to the typically narrow-minded views of the local conservative Bellingham element regarding the freedom of speech. (They applaud our CollegeBowl Team but they must protect our minds by attempting to censor our off-campus speakers.) Onemember of the local gentry is interested in eliminating financial support for all state supported institutions of higher learning until the present liberal policy on extremist speakers is changed. This critic is arefugee from the 1956 Hungarian Revolution aiid so automatically he is the expert on Communism,Fascism and the U. S. Constitution. Those of us who have been here a little longer recognize that in afree country this kirida sounds like blackmail. Another member of the knock Western crowd has a real'neat solution for •taking care of extremist speakers. According to his letter, he would obtain a gun(perhaps a mail order rifle) and do what comes naturally to anyone who disagrees with him. This type ofzealot represents an additional reason for a federal law restricting mail order firearms. Both of theselocal gentlemen would profit by examining the relationship between the Governor, the State Legislature arid the Board of Trust'ess which by law regulate our college. Perhaps these boys could get theAmerican Legion seal of approval and then ask Governor the only problem is that it requires a "TotalDictatorship." In this country we try not to do it that way. The chief reason is the First Amendment fromthe Bill of Rights, (which also partly Dan to put them on our Board of Trustees. As students we assumethat a college atmosphere guarantees us the right to examine any and all ideas that we damn wellplease despite the interference of self-appointed protectors of public thought. It is interesting to note that in the Soviet Union they have solved the problem of dissenting opinions and extremist speakers. It iscalled "Total Security" but Presenting America's slowest fastback. There are some new cars around with very Streamlined roofs. But they are not Volkswagens. They are called fastbacks, and some of themare named after fish. You can tell them from Volkswagens because a VW'won't go over 72 mph. (Eventhough the speedometer shows a wildly optimistic top speed of 90.) So you can easily break almost any speed law in the country in a VW. And you can cruise right past gas stations, repair shops and tirestores. The VW engine may not be the fastest, but it's among the most advanced. It's made ofmagnesium alloy (one step better than aluminum). And it's so well machined you may never add oilbetween changes. The VW engine is cooled by air, so it can never freeze up or boil over. It won't haveanything to do with water. So we saw no reason to name it after a fish. EVERGREEN MOTORS FreshWater Studies In Need Of Finance Delays in passing state legislation have effected the development of the new Institute for Fresh Water Studies research programs, according to Dr. Gerald Kraft of theBiology Department. The Institute cannot move into new areas without proper finance, he said. Thoughthere are possibilities of sampling water in Lake Samish and nearby national forest lands, the lack offunds has slowed the progress. Kraft explained that the overall emphasis of the Institute For FreshWater Studies is the quality of riaturaily-occurririg water such as that in lakes and streams.

IN THISSunday's General Electric College Bowl program, Western will be trying to pick up another $1,500. Their two wins have won $3,000 in scholarships for Western so far. Des Jardien said the close victorieshave given the Western team a great deal of confidence in themselves. "If we do lose Sunday, it will bebecause the other team was superior," he commented. "We won't be 'psyched out'." A telegram signedhy several hundred Western students and the following by Governor Evans may give the Western quartet an added psychological lift: "My sincere congratulations on the marvelous performance of WesternWashington College team in the college bowl the past .two weeks have.given national prominence toyour school and our state in the best possible way."

AL'S SAVE ---------- Collegian - 1965 May 28 - Page 7 ---------- FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1965 THE COLLEGIAN PAGE SEVEN Eyes On Sports By BRUCE DELBRIDGECollegian Sports Editor One of the weirdest boxing matches ever held to decide the heavyweightchampionship title, ended in one minute of the first round Tuesday night in Lewiston, Maine. The winner,Cassius Clay, was ushered out of the ring to the sound of boos. The booing was good evidence thatboxing fans do not particularly like Cassius Clay, that they did not like the fight and that they smelled a fix. Boxing fans came to see Sonny Liston beat the daylights of the biggest loudmouth ever to claim theworld heavyweight title They came to see a chaotic boxing world gain respectability by putting on anexciting title bout. They came to prove to themselves that something was wrong with Sonny Liston 15months ago when he meekly yielded his crown to a baby-faced boy in Miami Beach. This writer foundhimself booing right along with everybody else after the fight; but was it really fair to boo Cassius Clay?Perhaps the fact that a supposedly more mature and restrained Cassius Clay reverted to his old tactics of ego-mania, caused people to complain about the fight. Clay has admitted, however, that he acts thisway to psych up Liston." It obviously works because Clay quickly downed Liston, who seemed overlyanxious in the fight. This writer cannot dislike Clay for being smart. The fight itself was not a beautifulexhibition of boxing in any form. Clay was amazingly quick, but he was not throwing punches often orhard. The punch that knocked out Liston was more of a slap than a punch Liston was slow and awkwardand did not look like he had much chance of catching the wispy target of Cassius. Cassius caught Liston off balance with a freak punch. You can't blame Clay for getting lucky and ending the fight early that hemost likely would have won later. As for a fixed fight, there was little chance of that. Liston could, haveplanned to throw the fight and retire with his winnings, but he would have been more careful about it,especially with the investigation of the last fight. He woudn't have rolled with a slap to the side of thehead. Liston just lost his coordination for a few seconds. Both fighters were probably aware thatspectators were hungry for a long and bloody mauling. (The total elapsed time of the last four title boutshas been seven rounds or 21 minutes. If Liston had thrown the fight, it would have been in a late round.) It all adds up to the fact that Cassius Clay is a big, well muscled fighter, who is as quick as he claims, and people will just have to admit that he is the best fighter around. As for the damage he has done to theboxing world, there is little doubt that he has stirred more interest in boxing than ever before. It is a surething that a man who claims to be the world's. greatest, will have a few people waiting around to see whathe says when he is not the world's greatest.

Yiks Meet Cats In Oregon Today Western's baseballteam opens its bid for the West Coast NAIA baseball championships tonight in a game against LinfieldCollege tonight in Medford, Ore. The team, led by Goach Chuck Randall, left for Oregon by auto-mobilalast night. Last year's tournament winner, Western will play Linfield at six o'clock. If Western loses thefirst game they will have to compete against the California champion, Rcdlands University. Thatcontest would be played at nine o'clock. RANDALL has often commented that the strength of theball-club depends on his pitching staff, but he has not decided on his pitching strategy as far asrotation. John Skov, rated fifth in the nation last year, will lead the team in the tournament. BillFleener and George Asan will 'back him up to complete the pitching staff. The one Viking injury for theseason, catcher Duayne Hammil, was ready for action again this week after being out for theconference tourney, but he reinjured his knee and will be absent from the line-up. Randall places histeam ahead of the team that won last year's tournament and went on to place eighth in the nation, buthe maintains that last year's team had a stronger pitching staff. Randall said that if his third pitcher,Asan, can come through with some good pitching, then Western should go a long way.
