Board Chooses Gay, Seelye to Head Collegian Dave Gay, freshman from
Tacoma, was elected editor of the WWCollegian Wednesday evening at the
regular Board of Control meeting. Gay, who is currently managing editor of
the Collegian, will edit the weekly paper beginning with next fall
quarter. MildredSeelye was also appointed by the Board as business
manager for next year. Seelye, who wasassistant business manager of the
Collegian, was also appointed to this position for Spring quarter ofthis'
year, to replace Loretta Olsen, who withdrew from school. Gay competed
against two othercontestants for the position of editor. He is a'Korean
vet who has been copy boy arid reporter on theTacoma News-Tribune, and
sole reporter on a small paper which came out in Tacoma while the Tribune
was on strike. He is Writer editor this quarter, has been co-sports
editor and news editor of theCollegian, and was the editor of his high
school paper. Because he is an accelerated student, Gaywill hold junior
status at the end of fall quarter. Since none of the candidates met the
requirements asstated in the Stylebook of the Collegian, they were waived
in all cases and the Board's decision wasmade on qualifications for the
job alone. Gay is married and expecting a tax deduction next
fall.'Hecompeted with Colleen Sullivan and Jim Simon for the editor's
position. Seelye is a second quarterfreshman and was assistant business
manager and ad solicitor last quarter for the Collegian. Shewill-be
married this summer and will return next fall while her future husband is
in the service. Board Has Problem: To Cut Budget Despite High Prices
Budget slashing is the current problem of variousdepartments of Western
Washington College. Most departments are requesting more
money'•• for gt; the gt; 1953-54
school year as compared to 1952. The reason lies in the higher cost of
living andthe, rise of prices. Original budget requests submitted to
Mark Hardie, ASB president, have alreadybeen cut by the respective
departments. However, more cutting is on the agenda. Members of thebudget
committee and the! Board of Control met last night to study the tentative
budget plan. The Boardof Control will meet to work on the budget at 4 p.
m. next Thursday. Hardie said, "It is hoped the-Department of Directors
will approve the budget when work on it is complete. We plan to have it
ready by the end of spring quarter." Vol. XLVI - N o . 30 Western

A Plea far Fearless Thinking During the last few months the field of
education has begun to look a bitdark tb many of the citizens of the
United States. This has been due, chiefly, to the discovery by
certaincongressional committees, that a few educators were proyen, or
suspected to be, subversive now, orsubversive gt;t one time This has
caused near panic on some, campuses in the. country. A case iseven oh
record of one educator refusing an invitation of an organization which has
been designated by thegovernment as definitely not subversive. r This
could be construed as an indictment against education.That it is
subversive? No! That it might be losing its intestinal fortitude! Since
ancient Greece, educatorshave stood up f lt;fr what they believed.
Socrates drank poison rather than recant his beliefs. We do notsay that it
is good to have educatprs who might undermine our democratic system We do
say, however,the students of Western Washington cpllege, many of whom will
be educators, should resolve that fear will not intimidate us. The cradle
of democracy and the custodian of free thought and speech in manycountries
were the colleges and universities. In the middle ages educators had no
guarantee that theycould say what they wished with impunity. By the panic
evidenced of late this seems to be what someeducators believe should be
the case.' ";' }. ;. But today, it is not his right, it is; not his
privilege, it is theeducator's duty to give his views; to say what he
thinks is right. In this way will he be serving his countrybest.
Education must5 be dynamic. To be static is to retrogress. If educators
hYde their candle ofthought under a basket, afraid someone might see a
"color" in it, a great deal will be lost, for, aseducation progresses, so
will the country.'..-, \ Today's college students are tomorrow's leaders"
is acommon thought. But if these students are instructed by persons who
are afraid~to lead, afraid to voice their convictions, what will their
quality of leadership be?—D. G. * Mailbag:Letters to
the Editor DiaryRevelations Indicate Campus Day To Be Bewildering to One
Coed! Dear Diary: ' Today was Campusday. While sleepily crawling into
''the- old jalopy I could see the sun just coming up over the
mountains;It. was -then that I began wondering how Homer had ever
convinced me to get up so early for Campusday. Well, there was no use
.thinking about it then ^-we were on our way to Whatcom Falls park.
•The Skit assembly wasn't sched-iried 'til at least
after the sun had come up, but Homer said it would bebetter if we went
straight to the park before everyone^ got there. So Spies skipped ' t b0
assembly to;get: out to. JheApa*k,Jfcef lt;jre reyerypne , else. (But I
LDiErtne park when people are there.) , - .,:cArriving.- at, t h e ^ a r
k we .found it absolutely .deserted, arid. ,, stayed -that
\vay.,,for;ise;yera^;hqurssi Finally our friends began ...to .arrive.
Coming in,,convertibles, Model. T's, and , onbicycles, they swarmed into
the park. Sam and Al wer^ straggling 'wayv behind .the. rest, because
jtheyhad decided, to ;W;alk L . ..; :- ^ The morning slipped by andT it
was soon, time for lunch. Lunch—everyone was famished!
Like a swarm; of locusts t h e y devoured everything in sight. ' After
lunch thegames began, starting naturally with the pie eating contest.
"Uncle Harry" made his first appearancesince the day he broke his leg at
the Homecoming game, and ate more pies than the entire' faculty.During
the faculty-student tug-of^- war, Al and Sam finally arrived on the
scene. Every one was soexcited to see them that the tug-of - war was
completely forgotten. The crowd cheered the two fellowswho came
straggling in. I was cheering especially because both played on our
baseball team. At lastthe game started. Roger was first at bat. With
power like that we easily won the game. Homer said that I was playing
very well, but somebody hit the ball to me and things got all fouled up.
It WAS unfair ofGeorge to hit it to me— he KNOWS I
can't catch. Ah! Campus day ended happily. The students andfaculty hopped
into their cars, trucks, wheelbarrows and other means of transportation,
and headedfor home. Sam and Al trudged wearily along Lake-way, and Homer
and I pushed the eld buggy down thehill, got it started, and chugged
noisily back, to Western. • WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN

distant past,that there is a weakness, m our government here at Western.
The election, fiasco of last quarter isstill fresh in our minds and there
are minor violations which go unheede'd by the student body in general. I
have run across several of these. It is more than a possibility that
myriads of them have gone pastwithout detection. The question that comes
to the forefront is—"Why?". It is a dynamic
questionwhich demands a positive answer and not merely some "explaining
away." Is it due to the ineptitude ofour elected
representatives— the Board of Control, the president,
the vice president? It is my beliefthat we can contribute some of the
guilt to' these representatives. They, are not impeccable. ButTfurther
assert-that there is a greater weakness, than mere ineptitude on the part
of these officers. Thoseof you familiar with government can see it
clearly. We aspire to democratic govern^ ment, yet in ourgovernmental
.organization here at Western we have branches of government equivalent
to our national legislative and executive branches, but where is that
third branch so essential to the balance of power and the continual
function of a democratic government —the judicial
branch? We have no such branch, yet the need is a crying need. A manifest
need. The past is not a dead past and will not bury itself. Itwill
project itself into the future. To obliterate the occurence of last
quarter, and the many unheededviolations, I propose that we take into our
hands the tools of state and build that branch we
lackhere—the judicial branch. For the sake of a
continual functioning democratic government, therequired balance of power,
and emulation of the state in which we live, serve, and are, I beseech
you to join in a crusade for that missing wheel of
government—the judicial branch. Sincerely, GEORGE
H.COLE. Perhaps the answer lies in the in-maturity of people who make
that assumption. Sincerely,JEAN LANDAHL. To the Junior class of 1954: I
would like to thank all those who voted for me in the lastelection. To
those who voted against me, I hope all your children have two
heads..*•••
gt;••• . Seriotfsly,
I really appreciate your voting and I'll fry to prove to you yourvote
wasn't a mistake. ; Sincerely, FLOYD JACKSON Dear Edtior: During the
past few summery daysT suppose a few students have been negligent in
showing the proper awe and respect due our lovelylawns. This negligence
has necessitated continual reminders that if students desire to sit on
the grass they may do so in a small area just north of the main building.
The fact that this area is hot centrally

9 torn By ROGER GROVDAHL Last week on one of the sunshiny days, many
students were out tryingout the new game of wisket. This new game was
being demonstrated for the first time on- Western'scampus. The game
originated in Seattle and several leagues are springing up for wisket
players. It isplayed with a baseball and bat but there, the': similarity to
the original diamond game ends. Instead ofgloves the fields; use long
tennis-like contraptions or wiskets as they are called. The rules are
totallydifferent also. The defensive team makes all the points. The whole
team, 10 men, bat around and thedefensive-team scores points. A point is
obtained when a base is touched 4n gt; front of the runner. Thegame is 'an
entirely new idea originating in Seattle. Many main colleges are
incorporati n g ^ ;mtheirtPE curriculum: ~~ * . . . - . . « -
. . * • • During, winter quarter there
was an gt;all-^tarintramural vs. the Jayvee basketball game.vand-the game
aroused much interest and comment. Although it would--be somewhat -more
difficult, it would be interesting to have
the-best-intramural.tplayersiteam:upto play the local baseball second
teamers. Some, arrangements, may- be reached by having threeinnings
:of-fastball played and„ then three innings of baseball,
or a coin could be fUpped to-see,what type-of game would be played.
Another interesting game should, ibe the one between the students and
faculty on Campus day. ^Thegamevia an_ annual affair and from past

playing an easy.schedule in games forseveral times, Western?; swings into
a busy week..This afternoon Western takes on the CPS Log?- gers at

University of Washington. NextMonday a practice game will be played With
Larson Air Force base. With, the season record justmediocre at best, WWC
will be out.to

some games to better the searson record. College of Puget Sound; aoes not
have a very strong, team, this-year, although it is not apush over. It
has played some good ball this season. In the previous meeting with CPS
Western tookone close one and dropped another. Western's Vikings should
pick up another win tomorrow when theytake on the UW. The University is
weak this year, being near the bottom of the standing in its league.It has
been beaten several times by teams that Western has beaten. In previous
meetings this year,Western has nearly an even record with the Huskies.
These two straight games will put a strain on Vik pitchers. It is
probable that all chuckers will get a chance. Big Bob Hansen is ready to
go again afterthe sore arm he picked up in a game a couple of weeks ago.
Next Monday the hot flyers from Larson Air Force base, Moses Lake, invade
the Vik's domain for two games. The boys from Larson always putout a good
ball team which can give any college team a fight; After Western gets by
the busy weekendschedule, it will settle down to a slower pace for the
rest of the season. Western Drops Track MeeF To Savages Western
Washington dropped its first important track meet to the Eastern
WashingtonSavages last Saturday. The meet was held at Cheney on the EWC
campus. The Savages racked up84% points to Western's 46% points. Big gun
in the attack of EWC was Ron Chadwick who won a totalof five events in
the meet. These events were the high jump, broad jump, javelin throw and
both thehurdles. Western was a little off and.the main point getters were
meeting very stiff competition. The winfor Eastern was its 33rd
successive dual meet win. Ken Swalwell, Modris Pederson, and miler
JerrySwan picked up a lot of Western's 46% points. Eastern is one of the
powers in the league in track.Western will have another crack at the

HilsRuliinct Although football seems to be far away, on the. little
campus,of WWC, many of theJarger-colleges are now concerned with-spring
lootball practice. An. extra worry: to -the -coaches now '-. is .the new-
substitution rule. This rule makesit quite impossible to use the two
platoon system. Viking.,football coach/ Chuck Lappenbusch, was asked- tov
comment on. the new rule: and- how it wouldaffect small. colleges,,
mainly Western. First he stated.that the small colleges with no
springpractices will be handicapped by this new rule, making it necessary
for players to *playi both* offenseand defense* He went on gt; to ^ say
that underthe modern educational pbil*-* osophy players will have to
learn all the offensive parts. This may require longer training tables f
or longer -periods -of time.However,- Lappenbusch went on to say,.
• small .colleges using t he Straight- Line defense
philosophy will not be .bothered, by the. knowK edge factor and the
physical condition must be drilled onpreviously by the- player on his
own. Since knowledge and intelligence does not play the
sameimportant'part as it did formerly;-the Straight Line teams will
be.ready in a week-providingthephysicali«ondition^ isex-.
cellent. Physical condition is not and win not be excellent which will
slowdown the game under the new rales; According to Lappy, physical
endurance in U.S. society isretrogressing because of the automobiles, the
preservatives in, onr foods, ,aad«th,e psychology, ofthe
"easy-way-to-win" attitude. "If we are to continue to be the strongest of
nations we must-work onimproving the whole human being in our schools
andaiot just knowledge, and. intelligence which are now retarded' by
circular^ confusion,'' he said. So here we have the views of a very
authoritative person,Western's own athletic director, on.the effects and:
results of the. new substitution rule. Out of all this itseems that
Western -will not^be?bothered lt; lt;as much as some other small schools
who do-not usethe Straight Line philosophy. | This week a boy with a very
interesting background- was interviewed as sports personality. Modris
(Pete) Peterson, Western's star track man; graduated from a Latvian
highschool in Europe.. There was no track, at his high school so he ran
for the local YMCA team. Therewere a junior and senior team and Pete took'
several awards in the junior division. In the junior division he holds
the hop, skip, and jump record, high hurdles record, and the 12 pound
shot put record. Forwinning the high hurdles he was given an award which
he holds aa one of his most prized possessions.He holds three unofficial
Latvian records, 220 low hurdles, 220 high hurdles, and the 440 hurdles.
Lastfall in Seattle he won a • cup In -the big northwest
meet held therewith so many incidents in his life, Modris had a tough
time pieking lt;the: top thrill • of his- life.: He
finally, picked the time when hewon the low^hurdles in the Evergreen
conference in 1951. Another of his big lt;- gest thrills came lastweek as
Western broke the relay record for the school and won t h e cup.^
Western track will verydecidedly miss good natured Pete when he is
graduated. He has been a mainstay on Western's trackand field team for
several years. He has won three letters and already has enough points for
his big "W"blanket. During his years in track Modris has run the low
hurdles; 440 hurdles, 100'yard dash; 220 yarddash, 440 yard dash; broad
jump, "and thrown the discus and. shot gt;put. His versatility in
sportsshows he is a natural athlete. In his years here he has lost the
440 only twice and the low hurdles nnlythree times. This trait seems to
run in the family. Pete's menee M Seek Degrees Three formerstudentsof
Western. Washington college and- one still in attendance, are well on the
way toward gettingdoctorates in chemistry, Dr. Fred Knapmaii of the
science department, said gt;today. i KeithBoomandeftWestern Wash*

even six feet tall; weighs 170 pounds, and Is a senior. He left Latvia
when theRussians* entered because he did hot want to be under Russian
dominance. He is majoring in biological science and- teacher education.
In Protest It was announced-; by school officials that eight members on:
the; staff of EWC's physical education department say they will resign if
the athletic director i sretained. The action taken, is against W. B.
Reese. All those involved delivered their Qualified letter ofresignation
ta the college board of directors meeting held Saturday. At the same time
an 84-pagereport having to do with Reese's standing as a student in the
graduate school at Eastern waspresented to the board. J. Harold Anderson,
.chairman of the board, declined to say if there wasany relation between
the two events. - Nearly all the physical education department signed the
letter of qualified- resignation. The letter gave no reason-for the
action. Included among the faculty membersinvolved was Eastern's head
football- coach Abe Poffenroth. Reese made no comment on the incident. /

from the office of. Martin-P. Durkin, Secretary of Labor for the U. S.,
has reached Western outlining • ;varlous
jobopportunities for graduating college students. Twelve fields were
outlined which need new persons,and which would need college graduates
during most of the 195CS. - Secretary Durkin said that there-is a
significant shortage of engineers, while the number of engineering
graduates has b e e n becomingsmaller. The natural sciences, chemistry,
physics, and " the earth sciences, geology, geophysics,meteorology,
oceanography, have also jumped sharply in demand for not only experienced
people, but also college graduates with just a BA. In describing
teaching, Durkin VISION COMFORT DR.INGWERSEN and DR. RITCHIE 207Jfr
E. Holly / said that the "demand for elementary schoolteachers is greater
for 1953-54 than for 1952-53," while "at the high school level the supply
of newlytrained teachers has dropped significantly each year since 1950."
The secretary said also that theaverage salary over the United States for
all classroom teachers was $3,400. The other fields SecretaryDurkin
described as having many openings were as follows: federal civil service,
health' professions,business and law^ banking, accounting, and social
work. WWCollegian 'I--.. Frrday^May 1 5,T J£53Yiks Oafn Tie

theschool record' for relay races. Other Western performers piled up
points with seconds in some events toget Western a tie for first place.
Vik miler, Jerry-: Swan, took second place in the two mile race
againstsome tough competition. ' One man entered the meet as an
independent and startled many bypicking up more points by himself than
several teams entered in the race. This man. was the great trackstar,
Reverend Bob Richards. He: placed high in jumping events -and took some

Hardfe Asks That Card Playing Be Restored to Lounge Mark Hardie, ASB
president, recommended atthe Board of Control meeting Wednesday that card
playing tie put back into the lounge. It was stated that the second chance
came after the card.playing had been removed a few months ago when the
gameswere being used for' other than recreational purposes. Editor and
business manager for the WWCollegian in 1953-54 were elected at the Board
meeting. Dave* Gay and Mildred Seelye, respective' ly, were those so
designated. (See story page one.) Since no candidates were eligible in
the strict sense of theStyle book, the Board moved to waive the
requirements in this case so that the positions could be filledfor next
year. The letter to the editor appearing in last week's Collegian about
book conditions in theStudents' Coop was given heated consideration. A
committee composed of Bob Porter, CarolynCrook, Dick Stewart, Howard
Critchfield, and one other Student Facilities committee member
wasappointed to form policies concerning the ordering and buying back of
books. The Board passed amotion to the effect that all Co-op and Lounge
personnel who handled food were to be required to take aphysical
examination in accordance with the State Board of Health regulations.
.The expense forstudents involved will be borne by the Student Lounge
fund. A note from Louis Earle, Lounge and Co-opmanager, was read
thanking the Board for the ceramic ash try sent to him while he was ill.
A requestwas received through the Music department to loan the white
dinner jackets for a wedding. The Boardstated that it was not its policy
to loan student property for private use. An additional $10 was added
tothe $45 appropriated to the Evergreen conference trip to cover expenses,
to come from theAdministration budget. It was found that the original
$45 did not cover the entire costs. Coach ChuckLappenbusch requested
that the Board give him the okay to try to get Willamette
UniversitySeptember 26, 1953, for a football game with Western here. He
stated that arrangements with UBC andothers would have to be made, but
the Board approved the basic plan. Since the regular Board meetingwas
scheduled for the afternoon of Campus day, the Board moved to postpone
the meeting untilThursday at 4 p. m. Board members were also urged to
attend the Budget meeting last night.EarlCompletes Naval School George
S. Earl, Seattle, graduated from U. S. Naval school (OCS)Newport, Rhode

musician In terms of fugues andmighty phrases. We lay in clouded mood
And sang of lofty trees without tops That upheld the edges ofthe sky. As
the ponderous notes clamored forth We thumped our feet, and "They remind
me of goats,",he said. The notes came bleating forth together As they
scattered dotting white over the hill. "Mightygoats they are, pushing
stones With their heads, pushing stones and, "^ Rolling mountains to,
theedges of the world." We lay in silence and listened to the peaks
Crashing in dark stillness. FacultyKeeps Contact Of First-year Tutors An
effort on the.part of the faculty of Western Washington College to keep
effective contact with all first year teachers is proving successful. The
program started with theestablishment of the General Certificate pian in
1951-52. The visitation program became fully establishedin 1952- 53 when
essentially all graduates began their teaching with the Provisional
General Certificate.
4»-—-——
The visits made to t h e graduates of Western Washington college during
fall andspring of. 1953 by faculty members had the following purposes:
(1) To make possible a first-handstudy of the effectiveness of the
teacher education program as reflected in the work of WWC graduates.(2)
To stimulate graduates to make a study of their work during this year
with, an eye to improvement. (3) To assist the provisional cer-: tificate
people in effective planning of their fifth year of college workwhich
needs to fee started, as a basis for renewal "of:vtheir provisional
certificate. . lt;4) To maintain acontinuing rapport with graduates and
assure them of Western's interest in their success and thedesire to be
helpful when needed. (5) To maintain a continuing contact" with public
schooladministrators and teachers and to assure them of the institution's
interest in the success of publiceducation in the state.of Washington.
Forty-five faculty members visited a total of 16(5. beginningteachers.
However, a total of 476 persons were seen on the twenty-four trips made
to sixteen counties.First year teachers are working in school buildings
that run the gamut of possible conditions, according to a report just
issued. Some are teaching in practically ideal situations, some in
buildings that aredescribed as ordinary and average, and some are in
buildings considered to be fire traps, barren, smelly, dirty and crowded.
More places have inadequate materials than adequate housing. Most
availableinstructional supplies are those classified as audio-visual aids.
Least available are art materials, textbooks, music, and maps. The
enrollment per room ranges from 18 to 52. Some kindergarten teachershave
three shifts and as many as 83 children. At least 25 of the WWC teachers
have split rooms orcombination grades. The management of children, how to
handle delinquent children, and how to keepchildren quiet, were
frequently mentioned by beginning teachers from first grade through
junior highschool and in both rural and city schools. The use of the
Parent-Teacher conference as a means ofreporting to parents was mentioned
most often, but requests for help on the whole matter of parent-teacher
relationships were listed. Cooperative principals and teachers were
named by teachers asthe SHIRTS IN AT 9 OUT AT 4 Complete Laundry and

their in-service assistance. A few teachers remarked that they had
received littleor no help. Some principals stated that they had given
suggestions to help the teachers but that thesuggestions were not taken
by them. Between one-third and one-half of the beginning teachersremarked
that their college preparation had been good, that their training was
adequate, and that most of the problems" encountered on the job could not
have been answered at the pre-service level. SalonPictures Due Today;
