Mountain Hike  Tomorrow  Vancouver Bus Trip Also  On Schedule 
Thirty-six To Make Trip  Two paths to adventure and beauty  await the
choice of WWC recreation  fans tomorrow. For those who  seek beauty and
pleasure in height,  there will be a trek up Church  mountain, and for
those who enjoy  shopping and sight-seeing, there  will be a bus trip to
Vancouver, B.  Emphasis is placed «n the bus  trip to Vancouver
because tomorrow  is the last Saturday before the ruling  goes into effect
that a certificate  of citizenship will be necessary  to get back into the
United States.  Leaving the Bellingham bus depot  at 8:30 a. m., the bus
will arrive  at the Vancouver station at  10:30. Suggested points of
interest  within walking distance, such as  Chinatown, linen shops, and
places  to eat, will be provided. All sightseeing  "buses in
"Vancouver"''leave'  from the depot.  Because there will be room for  only
thirty-six people, students were  urged to sign the bulletin board  early
this week. Cost is $1.50 for  round trip.  But for those who are planning 
to climb to Kulshan cabin over the  Fourth of July, the Church mountain 
trek is a requirement. The  trail starts slightly above Glacier  and goes
onward and upward along  a quiet forest path, and through  acres of
colorful flowers in an alpine  meadow until one sits on top  of the world
with Mount Baker almost  in his lap, according to Miss  Ruth Weythman,
recreation director.  The party will meet on the campus  in front of Edens
hall at 7:00 a.  m. tomorrow morning. A trail lunch  and a cup are
required, plus stout  walking shoes, sun glasses, and a  light extra
sweater. The deadline  for signatures on the bulletin board  is 2:00
o'clock this afternoon. Cost  of the trip is 75 cents.  BOARD APPOINTS

Nilsen. ,  A CONFERENCE OF VITAL IMPORTANCE  for teachers will be in our
back yard for three days beginning next Monday.  A worthwhile effort of
President Haggard has been realized in  bringing this meeting to WWC.  We
suggest you make this effort worth your while by attending  as many of the
sessions as possible. It will be your best chance to get  acquainted with
the prominent educators of the Northwest.  •  AS A RESULT OF
LEGISLATION  recently passed, teachers planning to teach in this state in
the fall  are required to take a Mantoux test for tuberculosis. This action
has  been praiseworthy and somewhot startling in its outcome. Mantoux 
tests should not only be limited to teachers in the field but required  of
students before they enter the training school. Unfortunate, indeed,  it
would be for a student who had successfully passed four years of  college
life in preparation for a teaching profession, only to find that  he was a
carrier of active tuberculosis germs. , Of course, treatment  can be had,
but it would be much better to find out this information at  an earlier
time during one's college career. To gather this knowledge  at a time when
one is about to embark upon a professional career is  rather a severe blow.
 •  AFTER A WEEK OF APPREHENSION  as to whether the Collegian made
itself'clear on its new policy of a  more professional basis, we again
extend our invitation to teachers and  students to write for us about their
problems and philosophies.  What teaching problems did you solve during the
last year? What  ones didnt you solve and would like help on? Did you read
any good  books on teacher aids? What were some of the interesting things 
about your curriculum? Did your financial set-up hinder your teaching  of
progressive education? How did you find teacher and public relations  in
your community? Have you any suggestions to pass along to  new teacfiers
entering the field? Tell us about them, won't you?  •  MAY WE ADD OUR
CONGRATULATIONS  to those already received by the Bellingham Herald for
their last Sunday's  edition emblematic of "Fifty Years of Progress.' It is
a noteworthy  achievement showing the forward movement of the cities of
Northwest  Washington during the last half century. Also outstanding was
the  history of Western Washington college, written by Eric Phillips, a 
Collegian staff writer during the last year.  •  AFTER A YEAR OF
CAMPAIGNING  back in 1937 to have the sign opposite the College Inn changed
from  Normal Drive to College Drive, we find, now three years later, that 
the city fathers have agreed to compromise with the Collegian. The  sign
now reads: Sehome Hill—Park!  'OurTown' Rocks New York  Two seasons
ago New York theater  audiences went to jsee a show  without scenery or
properties and  kept that show going for a year on  Broadway. That
production was  "Our Town,' which is to be presented  by the WWC division
of drama  for its summer quarter offering,  July 11 and 12. In a city of
theaters  famed for elaborate production  standards, this was an unusual 
event. The thing that held them  was the simplicity and beauty of  the
story itself.  Two young people talked to each  other from their windows
across the  alley while the village choir rehearsed  down the street and
Dr. Gibbs,  father of George, read the evening  paper downstairs. Three
different  scenes at the same time  would have been practically impos- 
AMtMCAN  / /  sible on a stage realistically set with  real scenery and
furnishings. This  novel effect was achieved by having  George and Emily on
top of step-ladders  with Dr. Gibbs at a table to  the right of the stage
and the  choir in the orchestra pit.  A daring, expressionistic departure 
from realism is shown in the  third act when Emily, departing  from this
life in an untimely way,  is laid to rest with her family. In  the cemetery
the dead of the little  village sit passively and serenely in  rows of
chairs while the funeral  procession wends its way into the  cemetery.
There is no attempt at  tombstones or weeping willows, yet  the audience
feels the austerity and  simplicity of death and life in rural  America of
1904.  Technique Classes  Learn About  Modern Curricula  By Lela 'Kaufman 
Two groups of persons with teaching  experience, the T. T. 192 class  in
curriculum construction in the  elementary school and, T. T. 173  class in
curriculum construction In  the junior high school are working  to learn
some of the "whys" and  hows" of modern curricula.  The elementary group of
24 members  with Miss Marjorie Dawson  formulated certain definite
understandings  they hoped to attain,  then divided into ..committees to 
work upon these topics. With a  few thought - provoking questions  raised
by Miss Dawson, the class  carries on enthusiastic discussion for  part of
the two-hour daily period.  The remaining time is devoted to  research work
to see what is being  done elsewhere.  Nine members comprise the junior 
high group who meet with Miss  Elsie Wendllng in her office. Individual 
conferences, group discussions,  reading, studying, and writing  fill the
two-hour period. Immediate  access is thus secured to a  large selection of
books containing  needed material. Each person works  with his own
particular problem and  situation in mind.  In both groups a brief
historical  background is furnished along with  considerable study of
modern curricula  through the United States,  such as the Winnetka
movement.  Some of the educators' catchwords  —activity movement,
progressive  education, integration — are being  invested with
meaning. Emphasis  is placed upon fitting the school to  the child rather
than the reverse.  In short, the aim of both of these  advanced classes is
not to make a  curriculum for some definite setting  but to give a clearer
idea of all  curricular construction.  HAGGARD SPEAKS TO SEDRO  ROTARIANS 
With Dr. W. W. Haggard as their  main speaker, .the Sedro-Woolley 
Rotarians entertained with an informal  "ladies night" dinner in the  city
hall last night. Incoming Rotary  club presidents and their wives  from*
Bellingham, Mount Vernon,  Anacortes, Oak Harbor and Everett  were present.
l  Newscasters Picked  For Summer  The Collegian radio studio was  the
scene of Intense activity last  Thursday as some twenty-three students 
tried their hand at radio announcing.  Students read script for  over an
hour in room 311 while Instructor  Victor H. Hoppe and  graduate student
Leonard Newquist  judged in the control room. The  winners: Russell
Jackson, Francelia  Smith, Art Clark, and Shirlee Cratsenberg.  Alternates
chosen were  Jackie Hillis arid Beverly Walker.  Victors took the air
Thursday evening  for the first newscast of the  summer season.  The
permanent rewrite staff was  also announced this week. Members  are: Irene
fyhn, Reda Eaton,  Delayne Walton, Shirlee Cratsenberg,  Betty Solibakke,
Francelia  Smith, and Wayne Kotula. The rewrite  staff takes the stories
off the  galleys of the Collegian early Thursday  morning and threshes them
 into shape for the rehearsal at 4:00  o'clock that afternoon.  Broadcasts
are under the direction  of Leonard Newquist and Bill  Tiffany, with Dr.
Jack Cotton of  the speech department and Mrs.  Ruth Burnet as faculty
advisers.  WHITHER TOMORROW  By Lorain Montgomery  The quotation, "As a man
thinketh so is he," is very old. Yet it is one  that is still good and
usable. If we .want to change a man we begin by  working on his thought
processes, because that is the thing that precedes  the act of a man. That
is the foundation for the truth of the quotation.  Have you ever heard of
any one doing something without thinking? I  have. But that is because the
thought processes for that particular act  were built long, long ago. And
did you ever try to change an act that is  done without thinking? Where did
you begin? You do not go about it in  a superficial manner; you go back to
the foundation where the act has its  roots in the being—to the
thought processes.  We attempt to discover the original cause of an
undesirable thoughtless  actact habit, and sometimes we discover a cause
that is completely alien to  the act itself. The cause may be some
unsatisfied desire that finds satisfaction  through unusual channels. By
satisfying the cause we may in time  be able to substitute a desirable for
an undesirable act and the habit is  said to be broken. Frequently a habit
remains long after the original cause  has ceased to exist. •• 
The easiest time to work with a habit is when it is the shortest distance 
removed from its cause. That is usually in childhood when the thought 
processes are being built in when the character of the individual is being 
formed.  When then is the most important period of a man's life? It is
clear  that the thoughts of the past exert an influence on the thought
processes  of the future. The child is truly "father of the man" and
childhood is the  most important period. Those who govern and direct this
period of growth  are "shaping the course of the future man." Consequently,
the thoughts of  tomorrow's world will be largely determined by the teacher
of today,  Merrill Likes Children  By Lela Kaufman  With cheeping Bantie
chicks as a background, Miss Anne F. Merrill,  kindergarten instructor for
the summer, • talked enthusiastically about her  avocation. "I'm
afraid it's terribly trite to say that my hobby is children,  but that's
what it is," the blue-eyed quiet-voiced young woman said.  "I like to ride
horseback. Before I became so busy, that was a hobby  but it is nearly
impossible to ride in a large city," she stated. Every summer  this
westem-bred instructor—she is a native of Salt Lake City and  a
graduate of Stanford—forsakes Pittsburgh where she teaches in the
Falk  demonstration school to drive to the Pacific coast.  "I have driven
over most of California, and I love to come up here in  the Pacific
Northwest,' she declared. "I always spend my summers with  my mother. Now
we are staying in Dr. Spearin's house which has a lovely  view and rose
garden." She has vacationed two'years in Seattle and two  enjoyable summers
in Victoria, which she considers the ideal vacation spot.  Although she

Western Woshington College o f Educotion, Bellinghom/ Washington
Friday, June 28, 1940  SPORTS  .By Murray Healy  Hello Again: ___  Who'd
ever think that a harmless sea lion and a dead one at that  could chase a
bunch of land lubbers  twelve miles. That's just what happened  last Monday
night when a  group of our recreationalists were  about to spend an evening
of singing,  salmon, and sunset at The Rocks, a  popular campfire site near
South Bel-lihgh'am.  The aforementioned Mr.  S. Lion seems to have lost all
sense  of direction and planted himself on  the sand. What we're getting at
is  . . . frankly, comrades, the stench  was awful. . . . But that didn't
stop  proceedings . . . no, siree!! Dr.  Bond picked up his salmon, seaweed
 and all and carted it out to the college  property at Lakewood where 
everyone feasted and sniffed sweet  sniffs once more.  • .  Any of
you who can spare a few minutes of your time would find it  well worth your
while to drop in at the recreational headquarters in the  Dean of Mens
office and chat with genial Chet Ullin. Chet is assisting  Miss Weythman
with the college recreational activities this summer^  Many of you probably
already know of him as a good skier, song leader,  and former Viking
football luminary, but the accomplishment upon which  he prides himself the
most is that of being a guide. Chet has not only led  numerous hiking
parties up Mt. Baker, but also is well acquainted with  the trails of the
Olympic peninsula. His tales are filled with exciting adventure  and what's
more they're true . . . I hope. He is a walking Chamber  of Commerce for
our great Northwest and We should be proud to say  that "he is one of us." 
Hither, thither, and yon . . . We understand through the grapevine  that
Russ Eyer is planning to come back to school one of these  years and win
back his pole vault crown. . . . That's swell,- Russ . . .  and if there
are any more cindersmiths around like you bring 'em around  because we can
SURE use ' e m . . . . Russ also is co-holder of the conference  broad jump
record. . . . They say that Captain Mike Baker has  the edge in the coming
Intramural race with such softball experts as  Hurley Boggess, Joe Moses,
and Bob Smith in his lineup. . . . We look  for Rodland's outfit to be
right up there. . . . He's got Steve Turk, Clint  McBeath, and Chuck
Erickson.. . . Highlight of next week's sports program  is the annual
softball game with the U. of W. . . . The game is to  be played in Seattle,
Monday afternoon. . . . The Huskies come here for  a return game later on.
. . . Joe Medwick or no Joe Medwick, we'll  string along with Lippy Leo's
Brooklyn Dodgers. . . . They seem to have  revived the lost art of "the old
college try" . . . Don't say we didn't tell  you. . . . So long . . . '' 
Mountaineers Enjoy Chuckanut Climb  With Chet Ullin and Miss Lillian 
George setting the pace, approximately  106 avid mountaineers from  WWC
reached the top of Chuckanut  ridge last Saturday. Leaving at  3:15 from
the PE building, the party  was at the top by 6:00 p. m.,  where they built
a fire, prepared  coffee, and ate their lunches, For  dessert, they had a
beautiful sunset,  almost made to order, according to  those who saw it. 
One group departed shortly after  lunch, led down by Miss George.  After
sundown, the campfire was  heaped high and set ablaze, and  over ninety
voices, led by Chet Ullin,  were joined in singing new songs  and having
fun in general. Feature  of the evening was the vocal efforts  of three
dogs, Patsy, Dinny, and  Penny, inspired by Ullin's attempt  to get an
echo.  Descent down the mountain was  made by flashlight... and buglight, 
with a few brave souls sitting down  and sliding on the steepest parts of 
the trail. Many photographs were  taken—Mount Baker was especially 
clear—and the echo seems to be that  the hike was a rousing success.

UNIVERSITY MONDAY  Ancient summer rivals will square  it off again, when a
picked all-star  WWC softball team meets the University  of Washington
Monday afternoon  at Seattle.  A return game will be held on t he  home lot
Friday, July 12. The WWC  team will be picked from men signed  for

Kulshan Cabin Trip Offers  Interesting July Fourth  Kulshan cabin, snuggled
in the very shadow of t h e summit of mighty  Mount Baker, summons the most
adventurous WWC hikers next week during  the July 4 week-end vacation,
climaxing the numerous shorter trips of  the recreation program.  Three
things will be featured during the trip—good food, interesting  short
trips from Kulshan cabin, and t h e summit t r ip lead by C. Appleton 
(Happy) Fisher. Highlighting the trek will be the excellent photographic 
opportunities, and t h e acres of alpine flowers now a t the height of
their  beauty. Summer skis will be taken by some students, for three days
of  fine skiing.  Wednesday, July 3, t h e work crew  will hike in to the
cabin to cut wood  and prepare the place for the group.  Thursday, July 4,
the main party  will leave the P. E. building at 7:00  a. m. in private
cars, individuals  bringing their own trail lunch for  that day. They will
reach the cabin  Thursday evening. A pack train,  led by Mr. Baker, an
experienced  packer from Colorado, will bring in  food and personal
dunnage. Miss  Ruth Weythman, recreation leader,  counsels hikers to limit
their  amount of dunnage, since each person  will have to carry his own
dunnage  out. There are blankets and  accomodations for fifty people at 
the cabin.  Fisher Guides  : The party will climb up to the  back of Black
Buttes on Friday, under  Fisher's guidance, which will  give them practice
in snow work in  .both climbing up and sliding down,  and will give Fisher
an opportunity  to study snow conditions on the  mountain.  Saturday
morning, those making  the summit climb will- breakfast  early and leave
the cabin by daylight,  led by Fisher and assisted by  Chet Ullin.
Organized hikes to the  glacier or through the meadows will  be taken by
those remaining at the  cabin.  A whopping breakfast will be served  Sunday
morning, with the whole  party leaving the cabin about 11:00;  for the
return trip home.  Haggard Signs  First person to make an enthusiastic 
reservation for this trip was  Dr. W. W. Haggard, who signed up gt;  with
Miss Weythman last May. Other  faculty members who will be  present include
Miss Elizabeth Hopper,  Miss Ruth Melendy, Miss Virginia  Hawke, Herbert
Ruckmick,  Lyle Brewer, and Miss Weythman.  Cost of t h e t r ip is $5.00.
People who  enjoy the colorful out-of-doors in  its highest beauty,
campfire companionship,  and good hiking are  urged to' sign up.  "RIDE THE
