recently, I haven't been able to keep up on my reading. But the 6ther'
lt;lay while going through my wallet I discovered an oldN American
Weekly neatly crumpled in behind my driver's license. Thumbing hurriedly
through the 26-page edition I was ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ K ^ ^ P ! ^ K i p S H ^
startled to see an article by a ^ ^ ^ w s ^ , , , * : H i ,,v,:,,,.,,
gt;m,sss^™« "Well-khown professor in the east who says "that
the eyes are gradually growing closer together and that some day there
will be just one big eye in the middle of our face. v I wonder just what
provision President Roosevelt is making against this national catastrophe.
I think my eyes have started to move in already. But I bet mine never do
grow together. They will probably just close in enough to touch at the
corners and then stop. One would get quite a jolt to wake tip some morning
and, putting on his glasses, discover that they w;ere useless because he
had only one eye. Glasses cost money. But I" guess it won't happen for
awhile yet. "Countless Ages" is the way the professor times it. So that
lets all of us over 19 out of the fun. The other facial features are going
to be shifted around somewhat. The large eye will not be in the center of
the forehead like you thought—nnaa-nnaa-nnaa. It will be right in
the middle of the physiognomy. The facial contours hitherto below the eyes
will be compressed into the small space between the eye and the r chin. I
don't know where you will wear your ears. Maybe they will be detachable
and the stylists in Hollywood and Paris will dictate each year where they
are to be worn. No provision is made for those who wear moustaches. I
suppose they will wear them on their forehead or the back of their neck.
This calls for quite a readjustment of our present idea as to just what
constitutes a face. I think we had better just drop the word face and name
it something else. But if it ever happens just keep a stiff upper
lip—providing you have an upper lip left. V V • CAMPUS DAY
just to change the subject {you should, change subjects eoery 1,000 miles
for the best mileage) we will revive campus day. All in all (silly
expression) it was very successful despite the menacing Weather. About the
only ones who didnt fall into the lake or gel wet were the lifeguards. The
sound system installed with the loudspeakers blaring at you from trees and
rooftops Was a aery pleasing and should-be-done-oftener idea. But with all
the fun I'm glad' it's past so I can start recuperating for next year's
Campus day. Vet of Deep Sea Diving Tells Further of Work By Phillips
Captain Art Hook, veteran deep sea diver and former navy officer, leaned
on the door of his car after the assembly Friday, as he continued
discussing his experiences. "Narrow escapes? How was I to know if they
were narrow or not? One has no way of telling how close he came to
slipping over a cliff. I came up, that's all I know." This was the way
Captain Hook replied to the question asked of every man or woman who works
in a dangerous position. "I started diving when two girls drowned in Lake
Whatcom," said Captain Hook. "Recovered their bodies and I've been diving
ever since, except for the time I spent in the navy during the war. At
present I work for myself; going to Alaska each summer and working there,
for the fisheries and for private individuals." Captain Hook, speaking
quickly as he did in assembly, said, "Why, in the forty minutes they gave
me here I was just getting started. I could go on for hours telling of my
experiences. You can't tell of 20 years diving experiences in one or in
five." "Yes, you can kill octopi by hand if you know how," replied
Captain Hook to that query. "By grabbing the eyes with two fingers and
then pushing you can generally kill them—if they don't get you
first. Octopi are dangerous and there are many right here in our own
waters. One doesn't need to be too scared, but one should be careful."
Hook, of less than average height but very powerfully built, is a
Bellingham man, having attended the Campus school here at WWC and also
having been prominent on the Bellingham waterfront as its first harbor
master. "I also was the first newsboy and the first motorcycle cop in
Bellingham," said Hook, as he mentioned his town life. Students Voice
Opinion On U. S. And Its Participation In War By JOE BELDON, Editor
Student Opinion Surveys of America AUSTIN, Texas, May 16.—As
Europe's war spreads to new fronts, observers are pointing to increasing
possibilities of the U. S. being involved. In the opinion of American
college students, many of whom are of fighting age, what are the
conditions under which the U. S. should join the Allies against Germany?
Interviewers in scores of campuses have asked that question in' a Student
Opinion Surveys sampling. The^ results, exclusive to the WWColIegian and
other member newspapers, show definitely that the American collegian has
not changed his mind, is still much opposed to rushing into the conflict.
A good majority—two to one—may be included in two camps: Those
who believe we should not join at all; those who would have us fight only
in case the U. S. is actually threatened with an invasion. The largest
group of students, one-third of the entire enrollment, would keep our
armies at home and fight only if an enemy attacked on this side of the
Atlantic. The smallest group registered in the poll, 2 per cent,
represents the students who believe the Lf. S should join the Allies at
once. Following are the complete national tabulations: Under what
conditions do you believe the V. S. should Join the Allies against
Germany? t. Only if there is actual threat of the U. S. being . invaded
-. ....... 33% 2. U. S. should not join _ 31 3. Only if there is actual
threat of any American: nation being invaded _ 15 4. Only if England and
France appear to be losing. 10 5.'•••JO. S. should join;
now ™ ..:.........• 2 C Other conditions 5 7. No opinion ._ 4
Those are the opinions of students after the German invasion of
Scandinavia. Recent allied failures in Norway may have changed attitudes
to some extent, but the trend as the war has progressed has been more and
more against the U S. entering the conflict. Six months ago a Surveys poll
pointed out that 36 per cent approved of sending troops against Germany if
the Allies appeared to be losing. Nov only JO VOL XXXVI.—NO. 31

May 17, 194CB SHIERS, JUNKIN/MONSON WIN ASB POSTS Haggard Names Faculty
Five To Talk Jobs Revamping of Student Rules Of Employment Due lii
Faculty Committee Meet President Haggard has announced the organization
of a faculty committee to consider the revamping of employment standards
here at WWC. The present requirements of student employees were first put
into operation in 1933 but since then conditions have changed. It is the
aim of the newly-appointed committee to change these requirements to
better fit the present situation. The committee will be composed of Loye
McGee, Miss Florence Johnson, Dr. C. C. TJpshall, Miss Ethel Church and
Dr. Merle Kuder. Employment Big Issue That this is a big issue in the
college administration, can be seen from the fact that 200 students are
employed by WWC. This group comprises one-quarter of the student body and
its yearly income amounts to $30,000. Of these jobs 82 are NYA.
Committee Has Three Objectives The committee has three prime objectives
before it in the effort to improve student employment. It will strive to
provide all the employment opportunities possible, thus establishing the
necessity for scholastic standards. The required grade point average at
present is 2.35. Employment will be given only to regularly enrolled
students. A re-examination of the concentration of work will be made in
order to break up job monopoly and thus spread the employment over the
greatest possible area. Choir Appears In Assembly Both assemblies ? for
next week will be presented by the students of WWC. Tuesday, the a
Cappella choir, under the direction of Nils Boson, will offer a concert,
while on Friday the assembly hour will be taken up by the meetings of the
Womens league and the Norsemen's club. The program of the a Cappella
choir will be as follows: "Salutation," (Jacobsen); "Bless the Lord,"
(Ippolitoff-Ivanoff); The Nightingale," (Tschalkowski); "Where'er You
Walk," from "Semele," (Handel), Kenneth Johnson, tenor; "Night," (Noble);
"Misty Moon," (Lutkin); "John Peel," and english hunting song, (Andrews);
Noon and Night," (Hawley) and "Passing By," (Purcell) Douglas Bird,
baritone; "Tuoni," (Sibelius with soloist; "The Great Angelis Host,"
(Grieg); "Come Again, Sweet Love Doth Now Invite," an English air,
(Lutkin) with soloist; "The Old Woman," an English airr (Davis); O, Can
Ye Sed Cushions?", a scotch cradle song, (Bantock); Shoot False Love, I
Care Not,' "The White and Blue," Geraldine Gildersleeve will accompany
the choir. Here's Grim News Although the news arrived a little too early
to inspire the father to gurgle his Way to victory in the baby bottle
contest at Lakewood, Paul R. (Trim is a papa. Young Douglas Paul, as
the tot is tagged, squealed the first signals for . the Grim Brothers
football squad that still needs ten men, at St. Luke's hospital, Sunday,
May 12, and then went on to Weigh in at eight pounds. Dr. Crim, campus
school social science, head, was overjoyed ai the prospect of haying a
youngster to educate pro-gressively and Monday was spending many happy

Takes Directorship, For Anderson's Drama; College Students Fill Roles
"The finest poetic drama ever written by an American." Thus the critics
term Maxwell Anderson's "Winterset," to be produced by the Bellingham
Theater Guild May 29, 30, 31, and June 1. Hope To Direct Presented under
the direction of Victor H. Hoppe, WWC drama coach, and staged by Glenmore
Jones, the play brings to the stage in important roles such familiar
guildsmen as J. Marshall Bacon, Alice Benn, Victor Hoppe, Norman R.
Burchette, and Cleon Butz. Dr. Jack C. Cotton, of the college speech
department, will make his Guild debut in an important role. WWC Students
Cast This nuclear cast will be supported by a group of eighteen, among
whom are Glenmore Jones, Alva Potter, Mary Lou Plumb, Ronald Jones,
Ronald Lund, and Norbert Cormier, the latter from WWC. This play is
considered by many to be Maxwell Anderson's greatest triumph, and has
been presented on both the stage and screen for several years. Its plot
revolves about the conviction of the young man, "Mio" played by Cleon
Butz, that his father is innocent of a crime of which he has been
accused. Gripping, dramatic scenes and fine stage settings characterize
the play as it is written, and the Theatre Guild intends to include all
of them. The more familiar motion

It's A Crack-pot Scheme One of the prime crackpot schemes of the decade
hit the headlines several weeks ago when the Carnegie Institute president
rivalled goldfish guzzling college jos with a publicity priming plot to
reward the capture of Adolf Hitler with a million dollars in American
money. The plan seems to echo a popular conception that the poor allies
are being molested by a big, bad bully named Hitler. The last victim of
such sweet phrases is now dodging Nazi invaders somewhere in Holland. If
beaten Hitler will probably live to see another occupant fill his shoes
and climb into allied hair just as the eighty-three-year-old ex-Kaiser is
seeing the Austrian paperhanger do today. Wilhelm, the old man-with-out-
a-country, is a living example of an assumption that it is not the man
Hitler that is wrong with Europe or Germany but existing resource and
population conditions that are effervescing into a froth of militaristic
madness and murder. As one observer has said Adolf is but a pimple on the
face of Europe. If he is removed another will rise to take his place. An
anonymous allegory to today's European situation is the one likening the
entire mess to a boy with a toothache. Picture the Teutonic nation as the
boy and the dictator as an ulcerated molar. Obviously a mere slap on the
face and physical punishment cannot remove the ache and neither can the
slapping down of Adolf Hitler remove the underlying causes of the frequent
European strife. If the tooth be merely extracted, a nickel given to
lessen the pain, and the cause for its decay left unmolested another
ulcerated bicuspid will even tually take its place. Just so if Adolf
Hitler be extracted and a million American dollars be given for his
extraction another maniacal leader will fester into a dictatorship. As
long as England and her allies tell the teeth to take care of themselves
while they allegorically exist aplenty on the candies and goodies of the
economic and populative suppression of their lessers, the world can expect
the teeth to decay and give rise to ungodly pain that will become so great
that even extraction and proper care will come too late to save the face
of European civilization. The allegorical sore teeth are wrong, these
candies and goodies are wrong and WAR IS HELL. Let's have none of it.
Preservation in^Good Spirits .Much has been written and spoken concerning
the tendency of some college students to raise their spirits with spirits.
Perhaps the most pertinent idea on this question is the anonymous
observation: "Not many college minds are important enough to be preserved
in alcohol." It s The Adding Machine That Counts The staff work on last
week's paper marked one of the biggest tasks the Collegian has
accomplished in the many years of the college's existence. There have been
six-page papers before, but never before have there been 6,250 of them.
Mathematically here is how the sheet totalled: - Each paper carried 38
columns with 20 cuts utilizing 203 square inches. One hundred and
thirty-two inches of advertising were circulated. Each Collegian carried
15,000 printed words and represented 75 hours of student writing, together
with 42 hours of student assemblying work. gt;, the sum total of all the
time and labor that went into the 6,250 papers is staggering. Ninety-three
million, seven hundred and seventy-five thousand words were printed,
1,268,750 square inches of- pictorial material shown, 725,000 column
inches of ads were circulated and all this went on 825 pounds of magazine
paper which were divided into 37,500 pages, which were subdivided into
237,500 columns. All this represented468,750 student-veiling hours-
Student • assemblying hours added up to 262,500. We thank our

^ -: By Leroy Holcomb TEDDY WILSON Faced with a month almost empty of
bookings, Teddy Wilson told Down Beat that he would probably have to junk
his band if nothing materialized. "Things look so bad," said Teddy, "I
don't know what else I can do. We have only four .scattered one-nighters
lined up for a whole month. Outside of that I'm losing so many of my best
players."^ If the break-up is final, Teddy will continue to record for
Columbia, using all-star pick-up combinations as he did before leaving
Benny Goodman. V V - BASEBALL In the first official baseball game of

major changes reported. . . Ina Ray Hutton, the "blonde bombshell," is
now leading a new stag band. She has abandoned sex appeal and will ' get
by on musical merit alone. Atrocity Adolf At Work From Germany, by way
of Siberia, came a 64-page propaganda booklet to the Collegian office
this week. The table of contents questioned sternly, "Shall We Call It
Refined British Torture?" Apparently the British were interning German
women in a prison, while British prisoners i» Germany, according to
the magazine, live in a kind of "castle where there are tea parties, card
parties, and various amusements." (Firing squads are lots of fun). In
another article it was reported that the nasty British are bombing
neutral Denmark, which naturally outraged peace-loving Germany, for
"Germany desires a Europe in which all nations cooperate to mutual
benefit. Even in wartime she is trying to achieve this aim."
Czechoslovakia loves Germany dearly and under German rule is starting a
program of beautification of towns and villages, under armed guard,
probably). The Czechs are to be shown that their real enemy is the Jews.
It seems that there are British boy scouts on a camping trip in
Jugoslavia. And Germany maintains through the medium of the Magazine that
these vicious boy scouts are sabotaging factories! No sir, you just can't
trust those boy scouts. They turn into sabotage agents and spies every
time. In Poland, Germany is bearing with a bad situation bravely and
generously in the face of the atrocities perpetrated by a few misguided
Poles (Jews no doubt). These vicious Poles have "murdered" at least 5,437
German soldiers and "more graves will probably be found." These soldiers
were peacefully trying to help the Poles run their country. The murders
were undoubtedly instigated by the British who have planned them for a
long time. According to the booklet, the only reason France is in the war
is because of the influence of the Jews, for the French really see eye to
eye with the Germans. Instead of admitting or explaining any of the
charges brought either by the allied or neutral countries, they are
"officially denied." This phrase occurs with monotonous regularity
throughout the magazine. The subject . of concentration camps is
studiously avoided and as for anyone ever being shot in such a camp, why
the whole thing is a big joke and treated as such! WALON fteoi mcl
Tltfik ^ FRANCE/1918— "The whistle blew. The sign for the attack
had been given. My men were just kids, but so were the enemy. It was
certain to be a hand-to-hand battle. I stumbled on through the mud and
darkness. A German,youth, just a boy, a bewildered expression on his face,
charged toward me. I lunged forward, my rusty 12-inch bayonet poised for
the fatal. thrust. Then I got "deer fever" as the boys' eyes, in that
flash of time, showed fear again. I couldn't jab him. I made an attempt to
side-step and use the butt of my gun. But too late, he slipped and fell,
my bayonet passing completely through his body. My first thought was to
withdraw the bayonet and hide myself for this was a crime, a murder, but
the bayonet had stuck in the lad's backbone. Wildly, I wiggled the bloody
bayonet back and forth; the boy's body no longer moved, just the cold open
eyes stared up at me. Extracting the bayonet, I couldn't go further.
Mentally dulled, I slid back into the trench. I lay there for three days,

when the girls looked down the hill they were going down they decided
that the two men could have the pleasure of sliding down alone. Saturday
nighty the hikers organized an impromptu band, composed of kitchen ware,

chance to see just how powerful the Gladiators and Rangers really are
tomorrow, when the -tw lt;9 .southern schools hit town for the three-way
cinder* engagements. As Biggs has been so deliriously stating in his
horsey predictions of late, it'll take an awfully warm hotfoot to move the
Rangers from their dust-eating role in the W J N C O conference. The
Gladiators, like the Rangers, haven't anything to write home about in way
of ability either, but even with such comparatively easy pickings as
these, the gang of Carver Norsemen will still find it tough sledding if
some of them don't put their noses to the" grindstone With almost two
months of cinder training behind them, it is still evident that many of
the men are still in a dire need of further conditioning This is amply
proven by the sad way in which several of the "stalwarts" crawled around
the cinder path last Saturday. If the boys who are expected to win fame
and honor for WWC, would save their romantic ad-; ventures at least until
after the meets, there would be a lot less gray hairs in Coach Carver's
head, arid a lot more points in the Viking summary. So men, just watch
your step tonight, because if you're going to win any meets at all this
year, it'll have to be tomorrow. '• Roily Burke, Viking miler,
although he didn't breast the tape first in the Ellensburg track meet,
really showed that he's got his share of intestinal fortitude. . . . The
Utile lad deserves a hefty back-patting for his splendid work. . . . It
looked nice to see Carver's golf team swamp the PLC Clads and the CPS
Loggers on their road jaunt last week. . . . It's beginning to appear like
the Yankees are in for a nice stay in the American league cellar. . . .
The Red Sox, on the other extreme, are scampering up the flagpole like
Pucinello's monkey. . . . Professor Carver, dean of Viking coaches, urges
all mothers to tuck their dolls in early tonight. . . . Especially ''baby
dolls." . . . There has been a lot of tennis material running around on
the varsity courts this week. . . . The county and district matches have
drawn the cream of the crop to vie for top honors in the racquet trade. .
. . There Was a lot of good baseball displayed by members of the.faculty
in the big game Tuesday. . . . Steamship Ford was a demon behind the
platter, while Don Bushel hurled good ball from the rubber rectangle. . .
. Buck Tisdale showed the fans how they do it in Menlo. . . . Cheezy Davis
pulled a couple for the books also. . . . If McCee could only hit like he
nurses a bottle, he'd be a sensation. . . . "Smiles" Hall must have
forgotten to toke up on his Whealies Saturday morning. . . . Or maybe he
toked up too much on the night before. • • When one of the
Viking distance men misplaced one of his dogs in one of the numerous
irrigation ditches on the Waldo track oval Saturday, his three-point
landing brings to mind that the cinder lanes still aren't up to par for
such a strong conference meet as is in the offing in one week. After a
shower of rain, the track takes on the appearance of Battersby field after
a winter downpour. George Mabee, Wildcat track head, had a solution for
the problem: "Maybe you should erect bridges over the water holes," he
suggested. Anyhow, we won't have to put up with this headache much longer,
because with the coming of the new training school, it will necessitate a
new track field, and please, peoples, let's have one that will make fhe
rest of the conference ovals look like sand lots. • Are letter
sweaters becoming cheapened at W W C ? Oscar, • the Collegian
mystery man, was in a quandry. You see, Oscar went to the track meet last
Saturday, and he witnessed an Ellensburg man lose third place in the 440,
because he was unfortunate enough to foul the Norse runner on the first
turn. The young Wildcat, a very good sport, accepted the lots of the gods
phleg-matically enough, even though it cost him his letter. Oscar was
inquiring about, and he found that Ellensburg requires 8 points in track
for a letter and an additional 8 points for a sweater. This set Oscar to
thinking. He reflected that Norse golfers have to win but 9 points in a
season that includes at least 8 matches and a possible 24 points, and they
annex a sweater. Tennisters have only to take a mere two points out of a
possible 10 or 12 and a sweater is theirs. And on the other hand football
players must grunt and toil through fall mud for 10 minutes in each of
five halfs before they join the W club. Basketball, too, is tough with
prospective letter winners having to play ten minutes in ten different
halves before they get their just reward. It all just didn't add up to
Oscar, but probably that is because he is a stupid little kid. He kinda
thought that they should make the requirements for tennis and golf a
little tougher. "OUR CHEF WHO IS SKILLED ON THE GRILL IS EQUALLY AT HOME

Record Wayne Ensign's Sweepers cut loose with all the power they
possessed last Friday, when they literally trounced Ken Husflcen's Viking
Manor ten .to the tune of 16 to 1. The Sweepers started the first inning
off with a bang, and before the Manorites could retire them, the powerful
Sweepers had pushed over four runs on four hits. Booth, starting pitcher
for the Viking Manor, was replaced by Hoard in the second inning, when
Bernie Westmoreland of the Sweepers hit a v terrific triple into right
field to -Score three runners ahead of him. The Manorites got their lone
tally in the fifth when Jones, Manor outfielder, "tripled and crossed the
plate on a single by Third Baseman Olson. Aleck Mitchell, the Sweepers
second string pitcher, did a nice job of hurling when he held the lads
from Viking Manor to a scant seven hits. Bernie Westmoreland, John
Vaughn, and Russ Davis were the powerhouses of the Sweepers' batting
attack, while Jones and Olson played good ball for the losers. R. H. E.

Ellensburg captured twelve -first places to the Vikings' two, t o walkaway
with top honors in, a dual track meet held between the two schools
last,, Saturday afternoon on Waldofield. ' ;; Uncle Wayne Weber, who has
been handicapped with . sore, leg muscles, won his favorite-event, the
broad jump, with a leap of 21-feet, %-inch; he also placed third in the
century. Bridges of Ellensburg edged him but for second place. Aleck
Mitchell labeled himself a strong contender for top honors in the
shotpu't in'- the conference meet, May 25, when he heaved the iron ball
40-feet, 10-inches, to win the event easily. Bill Windshimer of WWC and
Dan Miller of CWC tied at 11-feet, 6-inches, to share top honors in the1
pole vault. Outstanding performances of the afternoon were registered by
Jones of Ellensburg in the low hurdles and the century, Orchard of
Ellensburg in the 440 and 220 yard dashes, and Burke (WWC), in the mile.
Second-place winners for WWC were Thommasen, Wilkinson, Dahl, and
Dombroski, while Paul, Baker, Davis, and Hovde took third places for the
Blue and White of WWC. Savage Leader Coach Red Reese, Savage track
mentor, will be leading a powerful Cheney cinder aggregation to WWC next
Saturday, where he is favored to repeat his 1939 accomplishment. The
likeable eastern coach packs a splendid array of stars, and if everything
goes as it has on paper, the Savages again will walk home with the WINCO
cup. Biggs Terminates His Horsey Predictions In Today's Issue By Al
Biggs This is positively the last in our series on who is going to win
what in the Winco meet next Saturday, May 25, Waldo field, come one, come
all, and why in the (naughty word) did we start the whole thing anyhow.
••» Farrier to Pole First First event we discuss this
week is the pole vault. Clyde Farrier of Cheney is going to top this
event. John Esvelt, Esq., alias, why we read the Journal, has this to say
about Mr. Farrier: Quhote. He just missed 13 feet the other day.
Unquhote. That is up there indeed. Mouse McAulay, Bill Windshimer, and
Dan Paul of the Vikings, and Bob Miller, of Ellensburg, will have it out
for the other spots. Mitch Might Make the Shot Shotpui honors are going
to be given to Stan Anderson of Cheney or Big Mitch of the Vikings.
Anderson has the longest heave to date but this warm sun 'is making
Mitchell tougher and tougher. Hip-skind and Thommasen will follow in that
order or vice Versa. Unka Wayne by a Winco Whisker Last and best is the
broad jump. Old Uncle Wayne Weber, graying captain of the cinder squad,
has nothing to fear from the rest of the. conference. On about his third
jump Wayne will sail to a new conference record. Taylor, PPPPP
