Sept. 24, 1956 didders Downed Saturday Western Scores On80-Yard Push
BY JOHN BETROZOFF It was a case of too much beef and experience to buck
lastSaturday night when the Western Vikings opened their 1956 campaign
against the talent-ladenLewis and. Clark Pioneers at Battersby Field. The
Portland club went home with a 31-7 victory. Briefoffensive spurts showed
future possibilities for the green Se-home eleven and their multiple
offense.The split T and double wing clicked well at times with Bruce.
Randall and Bill Karawacki leading theway. The Pioners battered the
Viking forward wall all night, combining the running with a superb
aerialattack. Western battled back to stop several LC thrusts but the
power-packed backfield finally took its toll. Things went bad from the
start for the Viks. Western recovered their opening kickoff on the LC
16-yard line, but the Viks were offside on the kickoff. Western then
stopped the Pioners dead after thesecond kick only to have the LC punt
fumbled on the Viking 18. Lewis and Clark took it over from thenine
after four plays. In the second quarter, Western's (Continued on Page 4)

Mountain Lodge Enrollment Tremendous Responsibility TO THE STUDENTS: It
is a genuine pleasure today to extend greetings to the hew and returning
students. It hasbeen very inspiring since last Thursday observing so many
new students, freshmen and transfers,' busy.completing their registrations
and orienting themselves to a new educational environment, and so
manyreturning students completing their registrations. Three years ago
only 1288 students were on thiscampus^ It is predicted that approximately
2000 will enroll this fall. This, if it takes place, is both atremendous
responsibility and a significant opportunity for all of us. If our
standards are to be upheld,cooperation between faculty and staff and the
student hpdy will be required this year as never before.Our tradition of
friendly relationships, mutual understanding, and democracy must be
maintained. As weemerge frojn, the small college classification, we are
anxious that we retain the spirit and atmosphere ofthe small college,
which if wre do, our interest in the individual student will be continued.

Doors to Accommodate Some of RecordTotal Western enrollment was expected
to spiral to an all-time high this week as returning studentsbegan
arriving today on the heels of freshmen and transfers whoN have just
finished their Welcome Week indoctrination. A helping hand in one of the
biggest problems created by this
overflow—housing—wasoffered as the
newly-finished MRH addition opened its doors to 100 men. Highland Hall,
brand newaddition to MRH, opened its doors for the first time last week,
with accommodations for 109 men.Forty-eight rooms in a two-story U-shape
building greeted arrivals as they began pouring inWednesday. Features of
the rooms were built-in wardrobes and desks, along with" other
conveniences of modern residence halls. The base of the U-shape houses a
lounge, storage room, an apartment forthe house mother and a central
laundry room. SOUTH OF MRH Located in a grove of trees just south of
MRH, the new annex features a combination of wood siding and brick. The
building was designed byLeonard Bindon, Seattle architect. At a total
cost of approximately $325,000, including architect's fees, sales tax,
furnishings and miscellaneous expenses, construction began on the
addition in early1956, so it would be completed in time for arrival of
fall quarter entrants. Other halls were filled, too, assome of the houses
near campus began turning away students as early as last week.
Approximately120 mechanical arrivals found, however, that they would not
have to be turned out on the streets. Roomfor that many cars is now
available (exclusive of the black-top area) with the opening this summer
ofthe parking area in front of Edens Hall. Population at Western was
expected to topple all records ashundreds of new students finished
registering and old students began returning to campus for
finalregistration, this week. "Most of us are betting it will hit
something over 2,000," Donald Ferris,registrar, told the Collegian.
Twenty-three per cent more students had pre-registered last Springquarter
than the year before, his office has indicated. And in August over six
hundred freshmen hadapplications on file, while two hundred transfers
were recorded. Fees, forms and frustrations metfreshmen last week as their
welcome week procedure began. Assemblies to instruct, assemblies
toacquaint and assemblies to inform were only part of the three-day
schedule of events that includedplacement tests, automobile tours of
Bellingham, counseling, registration, newcomers* dances,aptitude tests
and preference records for the all-time high number of frosh and
transfers. The final flood-wave of humans was expected today as returning
students arrived to complete registration beforeclasses begin tomorrow.
They arrived in time for the last stages of the welcome ceremonies
whichincluded an all-student assembly at 10 a. m. today and an open house
for all students, sponsored byAWS, which begins at 2:30 and extends
through 4 this afternoon. Schedule for Returning $tudent$tHundreds of old

this fee comes money to publish the Collegian(nearly a $10,000 operation),
which you receive free; the Klipsun, college annual, is also published
bystudents and distributed each June, but out of a special fee. Football,
probably the biggest student-sponsored operation (costing over $10,000
yearly), basketball, baseball and other sports are financed from the
student government fee. Athletic scholarships, just inaugurated by student
government this Spring,are also paid for from this fee. FEE LAUNCHES SUB
In addition, student government, through theStudent Union Committee,
plans and directs construction of the Student Union Building to be
readyfor use on this campus in 1958. The $4.50 fee brought the idea of a
SUB—for years an idea thatremained an
idea—out of the dream stage, so that its construction
will be launched in 1957. TheCollege fees of $26.50 pay, for the many
services rendered students during the year. Among these are maintenance

about Western. You are wondering if you have chosen the right place to
"spend the mostimportant four years of yptif Ufe. And we, the experienced
ancients, the greybeard juniors and seniors(and even the sophomores) are
being looked to as fountains of knowledge pertaining to the folklore

first things you will becomeacquainted with are the numerous hoary old
jokes which have gained a measure of respectability through sheer old age,

what purpose professors thought students were at Western. Also on hand
from the College were ASB President Ken Moffett, Lynda Sam-, nelsonand

(Continued from Page 1) Monte Bianchi wentback to punt. A bad pass from
center gave Lewis and Clark its second TD, taking over from the Vik
20,making it 13-0 at halftime. Western provided the first action to open
the second half, an 80-yardtouchdown jaunt, climaxed by a beautiful
46-yard pass and run play from Randall to Karwacki. Theextra point was
added by Karwacki making it 13-7, the closest the Vikings could get the
rest of thenight. Lewis and Clark then went to work for two touchdowns in
the third quarter. One came on anintercepted pass and the other on a
Viking fumble on the local's 35. The Portland outfit wrapped upscoring for
the night with a final tally in the final period. Bruce Randall and LC's
Gene Flippin were takenout of the ball game in the third after a brief
game of fisticuffs. The temper tantrum came following a 29-yard pass play
that put the ball on Western's two-yard stripe. Flag Football Starts
Monday Through the tremendous success of the intramural flag football
program last fall, the PE director, Ray Ciszek, hasannounced plans for an
even bigger league this fall. First game is tentatively scheduled for
next Monday, Oct. 1. Individuals are urged to get teams lined up
immediately. Persons lining up the teams can getentry blanks from Jack
Hubbard at his office in the PE Building. The directors have not set a
maximum on the number of teams. Nine teams were entered in the league
last year, according to Ciszek. Heexpects that number to be topped
because of the interest shown last fall in the games. Two fields will be
used for the flag schedule which will run over a three week period.

Excellent Record Brought by Coach Western not only opened the 1956 grid
season with a newopponent in Lewis and Clark college, but the Vikings had
a new head man in John Kulbitski. He wasnamed head coach after the
resignation of Charles Lappenbusch, who served 23 years at the post.
Anex-Minnesota center on three championship teams, one a national
championship, Kulbitski has coached high school and college teams. His
high school squads never finished lower than second. One of histeams took
the Minnesota state champion-, ship in 1949. The -new Viking gridmaster
was, head froshcoach under Wes Pesler at Minnesota in 1952-3. He also
scouted for the varsity and assisted in track."My objective is to have the
kind of team the Western Washington students, community, and alumni will
be proud to support," was Kul-bitski's reply when questioned about the
new job. A Michigan Stateoffensive pattern, using the double wing, will
be used by the new mentor. He will use the T-formationand single wing
with all its variations. Patterns will be changed each game to keep the

has narrowed to approximately 60 butKulbitski looks for more grid-ders
when school opens this week. "We worked on a lot of fundamentalsearlier,"
stated Kulbitski, "and we used new defensive and offensive formations.
These formationsare entirely new to the boys but I have been very
satisfied with the progress they are making." The newmentor has been
experimenting at the end position where he is a little short in depth. He
is alsojuggling the backfield assignments to get the best combination.
Injuries? A major item in last year'sinitial turnouts, Kulbitski has been
fortunate so far with no major injuries. Sophomore Dick Brozovich, anew
man on the Vik squad, suffered a pulled leg muscle last week but will be

Western. You have a jump onthe returning students in seeing the Vik
football team already, (whether you were impressed ordepressed is another
matter). 1955-56 ROUNDUP NOT TOO BRIGHT Briefly summing up the sportworld
of last year: A last Th football, tied for last in basketball, second in
baseball, second in track,second in golf, eliminated in conference tennis
meet, and most important—a championship inswimming. Not
too impressive but that is the record. In defense, it actually wasn't that
bad, consideringall the close games and superb performances the Viks put
on at times. The only trouble was that there weren't enough times. It was a
messed up year. CONTROVERSARY ALL YEAR AT WESTERN This isthe first year
the student body has appropriated funds for-athletic scholarships. Sounds
funny in • lightof all the coast league-scandals on
athletic funds. Nevertheless, the coaches were slowly being"squeezed" out
of the picture. They got no support to speak of. Then all heck broke loose
last year—theBOC set up athletic funds. Parties",
immediately tried to block the funds. They wanted the students tovote-on
the funds, thinking it would never carry. Well, it carried unanimously; In
fact, it passedtwice—they had to hold the election twice
because someone stuffed the ballot box. "It wasn't thesporting thing to
do" if I may borrow a quote. FOOTBALL SQUAD LOOKS
OK—SEE MORE FIRSTKinda early to praise or predict on our
football squad, but r don't think we have to worry about our newcoach.
Kulbitski is a really sincere man who has had a lot of experience in
coaching. The squad likeshim, Let's wait a week or two before we praise or
predict. We can mention a few things, however. Forthose who didn't eyeball
the program at the game Saturday (everyone went I hope), here are a few
facts.Letterman Ed Melbourne, tackle, tips the heaviest scale at 235.
There are: five lightest men at 160:Dwayne Lane, Jim Gard, Bill Karwacki,
Ralph Hilt, and Louie McCord. All new faces on the Vik fold.There are 21
freshmen on the squad. Good luck to head coach John Kulbitski and
assistant coach RayCiszek. Next Home Game CPS Bartersby Field STATE

opposition's halfback was running wild against the home squad so the
coach sent in a young safety man to watch him. The halfback continued to
run wild so thecoach jerked the youngster and barked, "I thought I told
you to watch that halfback." "I did, coach, andboy can he run." . f.

Many Big Events For Homecoming By SHARON ANDREASEN and DON SIX
Homecoming Co-Chairmen Homecoming,an annual weekend of frivolity, is one
of the major social events at Western. October 16 marks theopening of
festivities with a Kick-off * Assembly. Later, the separate classes will
select their classbeauties to compete for H.C. princesses and Queen; and
the chosen ones will reign at all H.C. affairsafter being installed at
the Coronation Assembly on November 2. Organized houses are urged by
theco-chairmen to begin thinking about their skits and house displays.
These skits, after passing a facultyand student elimination, will be
presented to the students, faculty, and alumni, as well as totownspeople,
at the College Auditorium following} the pep rally, parade, and bonfire.
Our returningalumni will be welcomed at a Coffee Hour and Smorgasbord on
Saturday, November 3. They will thrillat the exciting moments . offered
on Saturday afternoon as the Western Vikings play host to theEastern
Savages in the Homecoming football game. Rain, or shine, the grandstands
will be packedwith students, alumni and faculty, all cheering our new
team on to victory. Climax of the weekend and awelcome sight to the new
weary co-chairmen is a formal dance in honor of the Queen. A well
knownband, to be announced later, will provide the music as everyone
dances in the beautifully decoratedArmory. It's a pleasure to welcome
each and every one of you to WWCE and to wish you well in yourstay at
Western. I am certain that within just a short time you will be
considering this your second home. In the weeks and months to follow
there will be= lt;many activities and social functions for yourenjoyment.
Attend as many of these as possible; *—z
—- -T_ it will make your stay here much moreenjoyable.
You will have opportunity to become members of many different clubs and
organizations.In your search for activities that interest you be sure to
include' your student government at Western. It is a very fine
organization. Although at the present time you (freshmen) can't run for
the BOCpositions, you can take an active part by serving on committees
and here Vice-President Tells ofStudent Activity Opportunities for Frosh
Howdy, fellow college students and welcome to Western. Asyou probably
already know ^Vestern prides itself with being the friendliest school on
the Coast. Isincerely* hope you have found it that way, thus far. As the
year rolls by you will come to realize yourself how fortunate you were in
choosing Western, but I thought this would be a good time to point out
someof the things which will shape that realiza- : : tion. TOP PROFS
Probably the main reason you came to college was a quest for knowledge.
The professors at Western are at the top of the list. Many of themhave
received national,acclaim as being tops in their fields. College life is
more than just keeping upwith your studies. You are here to develop more
than just a sound vocabulary. A n intelligent, well -rounded, social
being is what college strives to put out. For this purpose we have at
Western a wealth of extra-curricular activities. MANY OPPORTUNITIES For
those interested in publi- LITTLE MAN ONCAMPUS By Bibler Yes, He Is
Indeed... is where much of the actual work is done. If you are
interestedin committee work come to the student center and Joel Carlson
or myself will .be glad to talk withyou. Avail yourself of the many
opportunities here and I'm certain your .stay will be a pleasant one.KEN
MOFFETT , President," ASWWCE "And—if you join our
'club' you have the opportunity to enjoy areal unique spirit of
friendliness with the sorority next door" cations we have a weekly paper,
an annualand many smaller publications w h e r e freshmen are welcome to
join the staffs. For those interested inspeaking, freshmen are welcome to
join our forensics teams which have won tournamentsthroughout the state
and Northwest. As far as athletics goes Western has always been in
thereplugging. With a new football coach and basketball coach new last
year, it looks like an interestingseason for athletics. In baseball
Western always shines. Those who would like to play, contact thecoaches;
those who don't can help Western go in sports by backing up the- team to
the hilt. For thosewho don't like varsity and cheering, there is a vast
intramural program. A raft of clubs, varying fromscientific to athletic,
awaits the freshman. The fees you paid at registration are used for and
by you. TheBoard of Control, y o u r student representatives, spends this
money as the governing body ofstudents. You have a financial interest in
student government at Western and are asked to take anactive interest in
it. Even freshmen may file and run for the Board of Control. NO HISTORY
CLASSStudent government at Western is more than a class for history
students. It is the governing body of the students—who,
last year, set plans for the financing of a Student Union Building; it
is agoverning body which provides for, and supports, varsity athletics,
forensics and student publications.Western is a combination of many
things. I hope you catch the spirit of this college fast and that youcan
develop yourself into the type of citizen, professional person, and
parent, you want to be. It's up to you. JOEL CARLSON Vice-president,
ASWWCE HE has tramped through sixteen dozen registrationlines, had the
traditions, codes and customs of Western blared at him from publications,
podiums andperspiring people, who with effusive outpourings of welcome and
waves of smiles, have either soaked orsunk him with the idea that he is
indeed . . . HE has stood in line until his feet ache^has signed cardsand
papers until his fingers falter and has read so much -printed matter that
his eyes are ready to close.And now HIS trembling fingers and bloodshot
eyes come to rest on this last piece of propagandacalculated to convince
him that he is indeed . . . Yes, HE is the weary freshman, who will find
thatcollege is no frolic and no funeral. Who will find that he won't be
pushed, pampered or pressed intolearning. Who will have more freedom of
choice than high school has ever offered and will find itnecessary to
depend upon himself and his own resources more than ever before. HE will
soon knowWestern-for what it is. That is the green grass, the weathered
traditions, the human professors, theinhuman assignments, the unlimited
opportunities in student affairs and government, the good times, thebad
times, the clubs and organizations that will anticipate him and seek him
out to the ends of the*campus. And after he knows that Western is for him
he will be even more impressed that he is indeed . .. But HE is tired
now. The tests have found things in him that he never knew he had, and
taken more from him than he had to. offer. He has met so many people that
tomorrow he will walk up to many of themand, embarrassingly, ask them for
their names again. He will wander the halls in a daze for a few weeks,but
when he recovers he will be able to stand before a Senate investigating
committee and rattle off hisname, address, place of birth, parents' names,
occupation, and age, like a teletype machine. Buttomorrow he begins to
become a part of this^ new thing called college—and the
tomorrow after that hewill be an indespensable part of it. Several
tomorrows from now HE will find HIMSELF writing inpublications, standing
on podium and smiling profusely in a concentrated effort to let an-
• \Y/CI("*{"}AA E other new freshman know I l V C L . v
* w / r lC that he is indeed c I Tests Mag Be Beneficial,But Moaning,
Groaning Still Heard BY CAROL JENSEN Woe betide the poor frosh. He's
been oncampus only a few days and already he feels tested to death. The
only words of consolation upperclassmen can offer is "You ain't seen
nothing yet. Wait until finals week." The tests freshmen-havetaken or
will take, are strictly for their benefit. The results will help the
student and his counselor planhis college career in line with his
abilities and interests. CHANGE ATTITUDE There is a major change in
college attitude regarding two test results. These are the English and
math tests. The College feels that the student should enter school with a
certain basic knowledge of these two fields. Those whodon't meet these
standards will have three quarters to clear their deficiency. For the
first time aregistration fee of $5 will be charged for English 3 and
Math. 3, both non-credit courses. This move-isto help remove some of the
b u r d e n of expenses of the College for material the student should
havegotten in high school. TESTS OMITTED In the interest of streamlining
the tests, the Nelson-DennyReading test has been omitted. It was a repeat
of much of the material in other tests. The KuderPreference Record
demonstrates the major areas of the testee's interests and is helpful in
professionalcounseling. Take heart, Frosh. These tests are probably the
last you will take in your college careerthat won't require burning the
midnight oil. WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE PRESS Entered assecond class

Covering the Campus . . . . . . WITHDAVE AMOS We'll begin this weekly
scanning of Western's green campus scene with: Highland Hall,where rooms
are smaller than MRH, but the m/ gt;st is made of available space.
Interesting point is thatthe building is broken into groups of twelve
students . . . each group more or less separated from theother. Football
team plays three out-of-state teams this year—Lewis and
Clark of Oregon, UBC ofVancouver and Humboldt State College of California.
HEARD—an upper classman, eyeing the gentlersex of the
freshman class—"It looks like a great year." The band,
under the cool eye of Mr. Glasssounds in great shape. Observing them
during practice the other day, they had real snap and quality.NOTE OP
INTEREST: the gym has a new floor—that's why the dance
last Saturday night was a sock-hop. Quite impressed with'the size of the
football players this year; those guys are big enough to makean impression
on a brick wall. Dr. Walter has the College dance band working hard for
the mixer nextFriday night. They made their initial appearance at Saturday
morning's assembly, playing three numbers . . . sound like a moving group.
Buzz Lawrence of "Viking Turntable" (KPUG—Sat.
9:30-11:30 p. m.) tells us he now has a two hour show. Says he will play
anything anybody wants—"Bach, Beethoven . . . even
(with arched eyebrow) Elvis." Board of Control will have two vacancies
this quarter with the absence ofPaul Greenwalt and Bob Dunlap. Bob
Teshera informs us that Lakewood now has a new boat, newfirepalce and
enlarged parking area. Editor informs us space has run out for one week.

Twenty-five freshmen made their second Western public appearance,with the
WWCE band Saturday night as it presented, among other things, a new
solution tot the oldmystery of who killed Cock Robin. Led by highsteppers
Virgil Cleve-jand and Gary Lind, the bandstepped into an eight-minute
parage routine, during the halftime at the Western-Whitworth game,
thatcast the stars of the TV program, Dragnet, in an effort to track down
the killer of Cock Robin. Theroutine was only the beginning of a series
of routines planned for four more games this year. Practices began Monday
evening, and continued through the week under the direction of Jerome
Glass, with theband unveiling its new look at the Thursday evening new
student assembly in the Auditorium Butdirectors Dr. Don Walter anc Mr.
Glass claim there's much more to be unveiled of the band's entire
newlook, claiming they believe new plan for the band will solve many of
their present problems. This planincludes a clinic band a pep band and a
concert banc which will take care of people witl much time,some time and
little time. The bands are planned sc that people with different
preferences and different amounts of time to contribute can all take part
ir the expanded program. o Home c o m i n g Co-chairmen, Sharon
Andreasen and Don Six, hope that everyone joins in the nostalgic
sentimentalism, the friendly joking, and the just p l a i n "hamming"
that our Homecoming seems to b r i ng forth every year. Yes, EVERYONE
will have a WHALE of a good time on our holiday cruise. ^Marching...
Traveling the campus in circles, squares, rectangles and diagonals were
