has been some mention of a beard-growing contest for Campus day. We are
not in favor of such a drastic move. It is all right for some of those
guys who sport a young wheat field with a covey of quail on their
phizzes but what about us'ns that write to their home town newspaper
when they sprout peach fuzz after a week's steady sprinkling with
Sterno, the miracle hair restorer. Anyway it's only 11 days until the
gala spring festival date and already the performers in the crew races
are getting ready for the watery struggle. At least that is the reason
given us for the many cars parked along the Fill these evenings. The
Fill is also known as the Furniture Factory estuary. We feel sure we
have picked a winner in the pie-eating contest. We are ready to back
Norm Dahl, the Seabiscuit, in any size pie. Norm is a graduate of the
now defunct Beanery and as such, should give the other contestants a
handicap. At the Beanery it was a case of the survival of the fittest
and fastest. Norm is the best eater we have seen for lo these many
years, both in quantity, speed, and finesse. . SHORT STUFF . . . Let it
now be said that Dr. M. F. Cederstrom's son and heir apparent, believes
in calling a spade a spade and not a dirty old shovel. For further
particulars inquire of the 10 o'clock comp class of the erudite
Minnesotan. Walter Baker, the Marietta Maurauder, confides that the Navy
is growing very concerned over the Panama Canal zone and adjacent
waters. Bake is tentatively slated for training there after he gets
through his reserve training at Chicago. F u r t h e r news from Uncle
Sam's front informs that Butch Franko, Don Bell, and Lobo Moscrip are
safely at, Santa Maria. Don was made a leader of the Northwest cadets on
the trip to California. Further news will be forthcoming next week, we
keep telling ourself. Datelmi e Friday, May 2 AWS commencement tea.

Bellingharri, Washington Friday, May 2, 1941 Norse Sail Again; Islands
Beware Annual Men's Club Cruise Dated for Sunday Morning. 75 to
Participate on Trip As the Sea Scout ships, Activian and Legionnaire, put
out of Belling - ham harbor Sunday morning, the annual Norsemen's cruise
will get underway. According to Brian Rob-son, the boats are to leave the
Municipal dock at 7:30 a. m. and will sail among the San Juan islands for
the day, stopping at Sucia, Orcas, and Sinclair. As a help for students
riot knowing the location of the dock, a party is to be organized at
Edward's hall at 7 a. m. "Approximately 75 WWC students are to
participate in this cruise, which Robson feels will be one of the most
successful affairs the Norsemen have staged. The party will make a stop
at Sucia island for lunch and from there will move on to Deer harbor at
Orcas island. Last stop before hitting the Bellingham waterway at 10 p.
m. will be Sinclair island. Those planning the cruise stress the fact
that each member of the group should bring both lunch and dinner as well
as cups and spoons. Coffee will be served by the Norsemen. Other
suggestions offered by the committee in charge warn students to wear soft
soled shoes and take heed of sunburn. In commenting on the cruise,
Robson said, "Weil do quite a bit of singing and for this I would advise
purchase of a copy of "Trail Tunes." They're on sale at the Research
bureau for 10 cents a copy. I'm telling you this will be a good cruise,
the best yet." Klipsun Staff Plans Color Schemes At a Klipsun staff
meeting held last week, decisions were made as to the colors to be used
throughout the book. The color of the end sheet was selected to harmonize
with the cover. Golf, tennis, and track pictures were taken this week
along with a series of pictures for the feature page. About 30 students
(who are still wondering what it's all about) are being featured instead
of the usual one or two who are designated as the most popular. Editor
Shirlee Cratsenberg reports that the KUpsun is being printed now but that
it is too soon to announce the date of release. Al Salisbury of the
Western Engraving company spent last Friday afternoon with members of the
staff discussng the 1941 Klipsun and possibilities for the 1942 book.

Washington State Planning council, will speak to the members of the
Northwest Regional Curriculum Study group at their last meeting of this
school year Saturday, May 3, at the Sedro-Woolley Central grade school.
The topic of the address will be "The Community Survey and Its Relation
to Modern Education," The speech will be based largely upon the
Sedro-Woolley-Burlington survey to be made this summer under sponsorship
of the State Planning council and the University of Washington workshop.
The remainder of the meeting, to be conducted by Dr. Paul R. Grim, ninth
grade WWC Campus school supervisor and president of the study group, will

$20,000 Roller frolic at Burlington for the grand opening Saturday, May
10, is Glen Gray and his Casa Loma orchestra. Gray is being brought to
Burlington through the management of the Music Corporation of America.
Musicians from jazz instrumentalists up to and including symphony men
marvel at the band's tecfihical ability, its ensemble work, and the
virtuosity of its soloists. The general public likes it not only for these
features but because it is "commercial" without being "corny." WRA PLAY
DAY MAY 10 High School girls from Whatcom and Skagit counties will be
guests of the WRA at the annual Play day to be held May 10. The girls
will be entertained during thei day with games and group discussions.
Campus Day Dance Held as Usual Beards to be Grown, Planted During 5-Day
Interim—Uh! As the 11 intervening days between today and Campus day
dwindle away, two events have definitely been decided upon. An
abbreviated, fiye-day beard-growing. contest will be held
startm'gJ;Friday, May 9, and ending Campus day, May 13. The Campus day
dance will be held the evening of yCampus day instead of the proposed
Monday night before. Otherwise, the spring quarter highlight, with all
its traditional fun, will be much the same as in past years.:' Cash prize
contests will, feature part of the day. A $1 pftze each for the longest,
reddest, and fanciest beard will be the incentive for bewhiskered WWC
malfs in the Whiskereeno contest. Two winners, a boy and a girl, will be
selected at Lakewobd in the( preliminary pie-eating contest. These two
champions will battle in the evening assembly for a $1 first prize with
75 cents going to the loser. The third, and perhaps most aesthetic affair
will be the men's bathing beauty contest. The male contestants, properly
attired in swimming suits, will vie .for a $1 first prize. The second
most "beautiful male" will receive 50pcents. The judges for these} Campus
day contests have been tentatively announced as being female faculty
members. -i Establishing a precedent^ the assembly committee is offering
$2.50 first prize for the best skit in the evening assembly. All . .club
and house presidents are urg d to get their skits ready for rehearsals

Now We're Really Happy We're so darn happy we want to sing, to shout, to
dance in the streets. It's been a long-standing dream of ours, to get an
All-American rating for the Collegian. And now that the dream is a
reality, we just can't cope with the bubbling feeling. To Bill Ridder, who
laid the groundwork, to DeLayne Walton whose tireless energy ferreted out
mistakes, to Eric, Jerry, Irene, Charley, Phil, and Toola, who worked
endlessly, to the swell staffs this year, to' Art, Walt, Dick, Lil, Cam,

Collegian possible, and to Felix and his ad staff, we're eternally
grateful. Special credit is deserved by Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet, our adviser.
Doggone it all, we're proud of you. Are the Laborers Rats Now? We Don't
Think So! Is American labor composed of human beings' welded info a group
or are they a dangerous menace to civilization? We travel under the
impression that labor is composed of fellow- Americans but recent reports
from the House "of Representatives, cartoons in papers, and other
influential sources, would lead one to think that labor is a dangerous
beast, fit only for electrocution and throttling altogether. Most of our
parents belong to the laboring class and are composed of the same stuff as
workingmen anywhere. Would you condemn your father to the electric chair
or to complete abeyance to his employer? We are not condoning all
strikes, yet we refuse to condemn them. The right of labor to organize and
strike is still one of democracy's strongholds. Student Prices Friday

feels there is still a chance to have grass high enough to mow within six
weeks, now that sprinkling, is possible.. At the latest it will jte well

Sunshine Ain't So Hot Memorandum re: the recent unusual weather:
California Chamber of Commerce has been doing a lot of complaining lately
of the "Washington weather" they have been having. This is a complaint
against what CCofC's euphimistically call California weather
—• although no tourist has ever been able to be in California
except when they were having unusual amounts of dew. The main objection
to long periods of sunshiny days and starry nights is that the level of
conversation is lowered to a serious degree. Take, for instance, the case
of a young gentleman and the light of his life who are parked on Sehome
hill. As they gaze out over the smoke-smudged town, she lowers her head
to his shoulder. He murmurs. "Lovely weather, isn't it." She dreamily
answers, "Yes." And there the conversation ends. There is nothing more to
be said. She can't say it looks like rain because it doesn't. He can't
reply that he thinks the clouds will go away because' there aren't any.
Consequently the two little dears lapse into silence and spend the
evening twiddling their thumbs. And then there are the poor
agriculturists like George Dack who have done their spring planting in
the simple faith that just because there always has been lots of rain in
April there always will be. Now there is no rain and there are no growing
things. There is a story going around about a farmer who has unlimbered
his gun with the intention of shooting the (40 words censored here)
Japanese for changing their current just so his radishes "wouldn't come
up on schedule. -; • :-^r'By"Mariiyri- Manuel •;'. gt;.' The

First Is Best "bawls" • * * • * \ Softies Fight By Jerry
Snow \ * ' ^ The result of the CPS-WWC tennis encounter Saturday
afternoon caused several Sunday morning sports readers to blow coffee all
over the place, including myself. The Gladiators had previously handed the
St. Martin Rangers a worse drubbing than the Viks dished out a few days
ago. As it was, the Lappenbusch men might have taken the first doubles
match for a clean sweep but for a two and one-half hour wait between the
singles and doubles match for- Glenn and Pettyjohn. Now that most of the
not-so-confident prospective racquet lettermen have made their letters,
theoretically at least, we may see the ladder switch about a bit. One
quick glance at the crystal sphere assures a win for the Wildcats from the
Blue and White at Ellensburg this week-end. Remember, only one of the
Knox species is out of school. McLaughlin's trial toss of 40 feet, 10
inches, proved to be the best for. C P S and good for five points in the
week-end meet. Carver's bundle of hope, Ed Fleming, failed to hit his
practice throw distances while Lawrence Munizza displayed possibilities
with a third place. Strange as it seems, the closest first place position
to call for the day occurred in the 880-yard run when the Parkland man
tipped the tape a couple of inches ahead of Baby Dahl, high point getter
for the locals with a first and two seconds. The times, as a whole, for
the cinder opener were comparable to a good high school meet. If you think
I'm kidding, check the box scores with a few of the events in the high
school relay carnival held last week with Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish
county schools participating. The Southern trio in the mile event boxed
Cale Campbell very effectively in the sprint turn. Next time, Campbell is
going to have Johnny Lund pace him and beat off boxers and admirers alike.
An interesting little mural argument, that may be put to a vole, arose
the other day when a partial strip-tease came off on the softball diamond.
Firebug Hollingsworth demanded that Alick Mitchell peel his spike-laden
track shoes for the common good; whereby, Mitch demanded that everyone
take off his shoes if Mitch had to do so. Ump Healy then asked for a
voluntary Gypsy Rose Lee on the tootsies so encased with the spiked
variety. After a half a dozen of the fellows had removed their shoes and
played ball on blistering heels for a while, they began to ask why cleats
weren't allowed. To make a short story longer, I have listed Joe Moses's
reasons why cleats should be allowed and my reasons why cleats should not
be allowed. As it happens, Joe is in favor of barbed shoes while I am not.
MOSES'S: Although I don't think that track shoes should be permitted, I
do believe thai the league would be faster if cleats were permitted with
the field in its present condition. The wearing of cleats Would be
optional to those players who cared to purchase or borrow them. MINE: The
circuit is still classified as an intramural league. A good portion of the
fellows would not be able to obtain a pair of these special shoes. Under
these conditions, playing opportunities would be unequal although
intramural departments emphasize that equipment is the same for all
participants. I still have a couple of scars as reminders of cleat shoes
so I guess that I am just prejudiced. It's up to you men of the softball
league to decide upon this trivial matter by voting when the issue comes
up. At least we can be thankful that we live in a country where we can
still vote and, argue upon such trivial things and the big items, too.
Where did that plug come from? I'll have to dial out these breakfast news
propagandists, especially Goodrich. Carver's divot diggers showed vast
improvement as a team in their encounter with PLC. All of the green
addicts shot in the intermediate 70's. Bob Smith's 74 was good for top
spot while Buck Rogers clipped close behind with a 75. Fitch, McGhee, and
Finnell posted a 76 and two 78's, respectively. Some of you so-called golf
fans are missing the boat this season. The walking gallery has been nil so
far during the home matches • Bill Fowler, ex-WWC playboy, seems to
be hacking the hot spot for the Husky diamond nine at Seattle. Box scores
credit Fowler with five stolen bases in three games. Fowler's press agent
and frat brother, Jake Carver, let loose this little release for the alma
mammy. . . . Hospice Inn captured the first annual intramural crown last
Wednesday when they whitewashed Edwards hall. . . . My only national
sports prediction for the season is that the Yankees should polish off the
American circuit by quite a few games to take the series. Forget that I
told you.. . . Goodnight, Gram. With a Bottle of Ink and a Desk Blotter

when they face the Central Washington track aggregation. The only first
he has picked for the Vikings is a possible win in the mile-by "Cabbage"
Campbell. Last Friday, on their new track layout, the Viking thinclads
took an 85 to 46 defeat from a" well-balanced College of Puget Sound

point honors.v Highlight of the meet was the 880- yard run, won. by Sharp
