Dec. 18. OUR CONTROVERSIAL CHRISTMAS PACKAGE To quote Perry Como, "We Get
Letters . . ." On pages 5and 6 of this week's edition, we are almost
deluged under a flood of letters. They cover everything fromClough to the
Administration to boys singing to girls' houses. All we can say is that
this is one opinion-packed Christmas package. We would like to tie it up
with some kind of ribbon, but we don't think there is any strong enough to
hold the controversial contents. It remains our policy, however, to print
all signedletters, even though some of them wouldn't look nice under the
campus Christmas tree.—The Editor.western Washington

10 - Dee. 12, 1958 No more reel changes: Legislature Moves to Acquire
'Cinemascope' THE STUDENTLEGISLATURE WENT ON RECORD Wednesday night in
approval of the purchase of an anamorphiclens, a new projector and
installation expenses that will bring cinemascope movies and
continuousprojection to campus movies. "By not charging admission to
these movies, we will not have trouble from downtown people and everyone
on campus could be admitted free," Legislator Barbara Bos, said
inexplaining her plan for taking a 25 cent per person fee from present
student government fees andapplying it to the cinemascope plan. The
Legislature approved the committee recommendation andappointed a special
committee to investigate the plan further. Fred Boede presented the group
witha W Club plan to obtain programs from the Coca-Cola company for
basketball games, selladvertising for them and sell them to students.
Profits would be turned over to increasing athleticscholarships. "We're
trying to build up our W Club to something besides just saying it's
there,"Legislator Fred Emerson said. The Legislature approved the plan
and gave the W Club permissionto carry it out, AFTER LISTENING TO
COLLEGIAN EDITOR Ken Robertson for 15 minutes, andhaving heard Collegian
Adviser James Bliss the week before, the Legislature unanimously
approvedgiving the power in signing Collegian requisitions to the
Collegian Editor. "I believe students shouldbe responsible for student
money," Robertson said, "The Legislature can fire me any time if they
don'tlike the way I handle it." IN ONE OF THE HASTIEST PARTS of the
meeting—adjournment—President Al Jung
announced that next quarter the Student Union Committee would be junked
andreplaced by a "Union Board" to be headed by Joe Malik, and that the
ASB Executive was instituting aCodified Revision Committee that would
advise the administration on the legal aspects of powersand commitments
of the ASB. Bruce Hannaford, a graduate student, will head the committee.
"Wait aminute, Mr. President; before we adjourn don't we approve of
these things?" Legislator Dave Amosbroke in. "Next meeting," Jung stated
and adjourned the legislature until next quarter. Curtain Rises onDrama
of 'Suspense and Love' Tonight THE LEGEND of Barbara Allen will come to
life tonight andtomorrow night in the Music Auditorium, as the curtain
rises on "Dark of the Moon." Curtain time is8:15 p.m. This play, a story
of a witch boy who wants to become human so he can court BarbaraAllen is
a combination of music, dance and drama. It combines the elements of
conflict, suspenseand love to make the story, as Dr. Gregory recently s t
a t e d , "One of the most unusual and mostexciting plays to be given
here at Western in recent years." The combination of unusual and
interestingstage settings should also add to the excitement of the play,
and making it a show worth seeing. I N TE R P R E T I N G SMOKEY
MOUNTAIN life has been the goal of Richardson and Burney, the twoSouth
Carolinan authors of "Dark of the Moon." In the play they have set forth
a standard of living verydifferent from that of our own, one A scene from
'Dark of the Moon.' which may be criticized—oraccepted
by open minded people for what it is—a standard of a
class below that which we normallyaccept. Tickets for the production can
be obtained all day today at the box office in the A-M Building.Tickets
will also be available to students this evening and tomorrow evening upon
presentation of theirASB cards. For those other than students and
faculty there will be a. one dollar admission charge.

a newspaper editor is responsible to his readers,not his govern ment, as
he welcomed delegates to the fifth annual Evergreen State Press
AssociationConference held in Bellingham Friday and Saturday The total
delegation of approximately 45 studentsfrom colleges state heard speeches
by Northwest and universities throughout the publications personnel, both
collegiate and professional, and discussed publications problems in
annual and newspaperseminars. Meeting at the Bellingham Hotel on Friday
and Saturday, the group moved to the campus forthe Saturday afternoon
sessions. Because of the weather, several of the delegations from east
of themountains left late Saturday afternoon. ASB PRESIDENT AL JUNG
welcomed the representativesFriday and spoke of the mutual
responsibilities and communication necessary to both the studentpress
and student government. The student press, Jung stated, is not responsible
to its studentgovernment but to its student readers. Both student
government and the student press should try tofoster public and
individual expression among students. Herald City Editor Bill Fowler
spoke to thenewspaper representatives on the general quality of their
papers and then dealt specifically with . e a c h . . paper. Fowler
commented; that , he "believed that many of the limitations to be found
in collegenewspapers were the result of very restricted budgets and,
consequently, limited space, rather than to a lack of talent." On the
whole, he considered the efforts quite good. A PROFESSIONAL
REPORTER,Larry Hildebrand, also of the Herald, spoke to the group as
future journalists late Friday afternoon.Talking informally, he answered
questions about profesisonal journalism and compared it toCollegiate
work. Also on Friday afternoon, Clyde Robinson, manager of Student
Publications at theUniversity of Washington, spoke to annual
representatives. He discussed the reason why theUniversity had elected to
have their yearbook published by a firm in Texas rather than a local
one. Mainly the switch was due to the increased services which the Texas
company offered and a lower bid bysome $4,000. Following Robinson's
talk, the annual group heard James Abbott of Seattle's CraftsmanPress
explain the advantages of Photolithographic Printing. MAIN SPEAKER AT
the banquet, WallieFunk, Editor of the Anacortes American, presented the
newspaper plaque to Wayne Ehlers, ManagingEditor of the Collegian. Dr.
O'Brien of the English Department, made the annual award. On SaturdayMiss
Bonnie Wiley from Central led a seminar on Newspaper features, and
continued the judging decisions made on the annuals. Later in the
morning Rogan Jones spoke to the entire group on his trip to Russia, and
the Russian newspaper and T-V. THE NOON BANQUET at Edens Hall
wasattended by Dr. W. W. Haggard, Western president, who spoke briefly to
the group on the college andtheir student bodies' problems and challenges
which will have to be met in the near future. Highlight ofthe last
session was a discussion of the freedom of the press, preceded by a brief
statement ofpositions by Western Legislator Jack Rabourn and Wayne
Ehlers. At the same time Letterpressprinitng was discussed by Kenneth
Miller of Western Engraving in Seattle. His talk was followed bycomments
on annual photography by Russ Clift of Jukes Studio in Bellingham. DON
DANIELS ofEastern and Linda Bruns of Whitworth were elected by the
assembly to succeed Ken Robertson andFaith Hearsey as 1959 ESPA Director
and Secretary. "IF HB5 GOTTA WEAE MY SHIFTS I WISHHE'D STOP USINQ INIC

On 'Darl^ ofMoon' When the curtain rises on "Dark of the Moon' tonight
college students will see one of the mostunusual plays to be presented on
the Western campus. Publicity has been built up around these aspectsof the
play: it will feature hill folk, the main character is a "witchboy," it is
a story of love and suspense,"witchboy" is supposed to fly from a mountain
on stage. The staging of the play, the preparation, thedirection are
things playgoers do not see, however. But they are the things that make
the play. Behind the scetves-.-.they have been building a "mountain" on
the Western stage, they have beenrehiarsirigHheir'Mnes, fnd the final
results will be the work of the direction of Dr. William Gregory, aman'Who
will not even appear on stage. To get this story in pictures, the
Collegian sent photographerJohn Zuanich behind the curtain to capture what
we think are some unusual pictures. They show theexpresion, the off-guard
moment, the people you will not see on stage, the ivhole drama that takes
placeweeks ahead of the presentation of a play, which is only the
quintessence of days and hours of workcrystallized into a final, brief,

Drastic Construction Cut PutsPublications in SUB BY PAT PALMER A DRASTIC
$17,000 COST cut will provide the new StudentUnion Building at Western
with the needed money for a publications area. The original bid
forconstruction of the SUB did not call for this additional section.
David Laster, chairman of the . Student Union Committee, and Harold
Goltz, director of Student Activities, have requested the contractors
tomake material and structural changes which will result in the reduction
of --' the cost of the building. yThe cost cuts include a savings of
$5,560 made possible by changing accoustical plaster to accousticaltile
throughout most of the building. The elimination of all Mag-nasite
Terrazzo floors except in thelobby and on the front stairs will save
$7,000. "WE HAVE HAD WONDERFUL cooperation from thecontractors in making
changes in building costs without destroying the quality and
characteristics of thebuilding," Goltz said. The added publications area
will now be able to provide room for a new CollegianOffice, as well as
space for the other publications, such as The Profile, The Writer, The
Navigator, and The Klipsun. A darkroom and other photographic facilities
will be included. UNDER A" 300-DAYcontract, the construction of the SUB,
which waa begun on Nov. 3, is scheduled to be finished on Aug.28, 1959.
Interior Designer Douglas Bennett is working in collaboration with
Architect Fred Bassetti.Bennett is deciding upon the interior decorations
now instead of waiting to plan the furnishings whenthe building is
completed. Substituting as a ballroom, the main lounge will have colored
thermostatic-controlled lights, which can be raised or lowered,
brightened or dimmed. Bennett is designing the lounge furniture and
features in conjunction with these electrical lights. "If they ever get a
cinemascope lensfocused on this part of the campus . . . wow!" 'No More
Breaks in Movies,9 ASB Veep Says Deck theHalls with Advertising' THE ASB
SOCIAL BOARD is considering the purchase of an anamorphic lensadapter, a
cinemascope screen and a new arc projector for continual movie
projection. Of course thisproject will be expensive. The anamorphic lens
adaptor zootdd cost approximately $220, thecinemascope screen (size 14' x
30') would run about $450 and the new arc projector, being the
mostexpensive, would cost about $1,500. Installation cost of all would be
$300. The present projector hasundergone a complete overhaul and at the
present time is in excellent condition. The question thenwould be, are
you students satisfied with the present system of movies? At the present
Western has an adequate movie program. This means we have a popular price
and fairly good selection of movies, butthey are one, two or three years
old. To strive for an even better program, we can not maintain the status
quo. The second projector would give Social Board movies a theater-like
showing. No breaks would bepresent — each film would
be shown straight through. Is this an item we can do without?Cinemascope
is a coming thing on several Washington college campuses. Central
WashingtonCollege has installed this program and it is working out very
well. The rental of cinemascope films would not cost any more than what
we pay at the present time for our films. The only additional cost
wouldmost likely be five or ten cents per student to make allowances for
wage increases for studentemployees which goes into effect' next year.
THEN, W E S T E R N STUDENT BODY, shall wespend approximately $2,500 for
the, entire program? Can we do without the additional arc projector? We
would appreciate hearing from you.—Kirb Cleveland AIR

FURNITURE HOUSEWARES APPLIANCES EASYPAYMENT SERVICE Corner of Bay and
Prospect Christmas is just about here, the snow is (was, atleast) falli
n g , bells are ringing, and everyone is of good cheer-especially people
with a product tosell. Those people, the manufacturers and others who
take advantage of Christmas to push a product,are the target of Stan
Freberg, a master of sarcasm, who takes a king-sized swing at those
whocommercialize the Yule-tide season on a new record called GREEN
CHRISTMAS. This new release is a 6 minute, 50 second blast by Freberg,
with the Jud Conlon (never heard of them) Chorale and BillyMay's band,
at those who utilize November and December to make a holly-wreathed buck.
The record is chock-full of priceless barbs: "Christmas has two S's in
it, and they're both dollar signs," criesFreberg in answer to one who
suggests that Christmas might have some other significance than
acommercial one. "Words to live by," gloats Scrooge, played by Freberg,
"Christmas is something totake advantage of—jump on the
red and green bandwagon—a sentimental shot in the arm
forsales!" "Deck the halls with advertising, What's the use of
compromising?" scheeches the Choralewith glee. And so it goes. The
public can take its hat off to Stan Freberg, an advertising man himself,
for expressing the general ill feeling towards the massive prostitution
of a pretty important birthday. Whiletalking about records, I may as well
bring up another record of a different vein. The record is an

named a"pink," I want to say that this record is excellent. The Chorus is
magnificent and polished, the bandplays with authoritativeness and
finesse. The band and the chorus work as a unit, and the listener
isoverwhelmed by the marvelous total sound generated by this] team. The
selections are mainlyRussian and Ukranian folk songs, but as this
performance was given in London, the Russians comeacross with two well
known English songs as well. One of the very impressive numbers is the
oldfavorite, "The Volga Boatmen." This one gives the chorus a real chance
to show their stuff, and they do.THE SHOCK OF MY LIFE came when I heard
this group take off on "It's A Long Way to Tiperary"; tosay the least, I
was impressed. At the end of this cut I zoas looking for a dotted line to
sign my nameon. The listener can still feel the glint in the eyes of the
Russians as they outdo the English on theirown song. Get good and

to be a • •' B N '1 CI h tendency in
Bellingham to commercialize on the College. Y C1 £Perhaps is is
only because the Bellingham Police Department is trying to enforce the law,
and Whilewalking past the playfield in front of the Campus School perhaps
it is only because college students areoversensitive about receiving
parking tickets or t h e o t h e r d a y I *** t n e siris' field ^ k e y
team inaction. From the being arrested on their way to mail a letter. If
this is the case, then some of the lawsshould be changed or at least made
public more often. A college student we know was walking innocently down
the street this quarter when he was taken to the Police Department and
accused of molesting agirl. His grilling was not pleasant. More students
we know are having trouble finding places to park theircars and when they
park them in 'no parking' areas at night where they have never received
tickets before, they suddenly find themselves receiving parking tickets,
even when their parking is not obstructing trafficor harming anyone. The
arrests and tickets may all be within the law, but it is certainly not a
way for thePolice Department to win friends and influence people.
GENERALLY, POLICEMEN IN THIS CITY AREUNDERSTANDING and nice people. Lately
their actions appear as a crusade to gain money for the city.We say
"appear." Perhaps they are only up here because alarmists in this part of
the city have atendency of calling the police whenever they hear a strange
noise. There seem to be too many prissypeople who would not allow college
students to have a little normal, human fun,, sometimes, especiallywhen the
fun is actually hurting no one. If the city and the people in it do not
understand that youngpeople do not yet have the "maturity" to conduct
themselves always as if attending a funeral, then theyshould import a
seminary or establish a few more mortuaries in their town. At any rate,
the interest of thePolice Department is not what we are talking about when
we students of Western invite the interest of thecity in our affairs and
activities. 'LETTERS -WE GET LETTERS9 'Has Clough Seen Humor?'

that because of thatalone there should be something in their college
newspaper that they can turn to and enjoy and feel isspeaking for them.
Why do we of the Collegian print the Column of Neil Clough? That is a
question that is being asked more violently than ever these days, and we
do have an answer. The president of theAssociated Students Friday stated
that the newspaper editor's responsibility is not to the
studentgovernment, but to the student readers. This is a point we have
long believed in and battled over, and areabsolutely overjoyed that at
long last someone has joined our side who is not necessarily on our side
allthe way. We print the column of Neil Clough because we believe he and
his opinions are representative of a majority of the students at
Western—the students who do not take part in
government, who do noteven attend legislature meetings, who have little to
say in anything that goes on around the College, who do not seem to matter
to many people in high offices. But they are here and they have opinions.
Thesepeople matter to us. They are our readers. or 0 Dear Editor: AFTER
READING Mr. Opper-man's letter to the editor of last week I felt it my
duty to come to the aid of Neil Clough. It is my opinion, but I feel I
can safely say that it is the opinion of 75 to 80% of the student body
that Mr. Clough's column has broughtnew light to the Collegian. In the
three years I've been at Western Neil Clough is the first guy with
gutsenough to stand up and say what he thinks FOR SOMEONE WHO quite
often abounds in rude, purelyemotional, and often unfounded criticism, he
has little room to speak. I hope that during his studentteaching (which
he is doing now) he doesn't pass this irresponsible attitude on to the
children. By theway, Mr. Clough, I am not a member of the Legislature and
I'm not in need of measurements for ablazer. But I am one of several who
have been disgusted with your column since its inception.ROBERT WHEELER
'Thank the Boys For the Sernade To the Editor: KLUANE HALL WOULD like
toClough's column is certainly not grounded on fact or even on good
"journalism." It is a column of opinionand that has always been stated. In
contrast to it, we offer a column by the ASB Executive, the news ofthe
college, the solid facts on our other pages, and even editorial opinion
that solidly differs with Mr.Clough. But for us to ignore the average
student—the one who really pays for this paper and
itspublication-would be a reversion to the past when cliques controlled
everything and only they hadnewspaper space to continually harangue on
points that interested nobody but themselves. Mr. Clough's criticism may
be rude, but often the truth is rude. His opinions may not be fact, but
who can say what isfact, and how many can say that people in public
offices always speak the truth when all many of themever utter are
platitudes and harmless philosophies to content people who do not know
what is goingon, because what is really going on is kept from them? Mr.
Clough may offend the pleasant attitudes and the "nice" atmosphere on our
campus, but the pleasant and the nice are not the only facts of life.
Thejokes and criticisms he writes may not be original or nice or pleasant,
but they are what people think and say everyday, and when one cannot print
what he thinks or says, then the printed word will neverrepresent
anything but an emasculated, distorted picture of our life and times. We
believe that themajority of our readers want his column to continue and
until that belief is changed it will continue. To ushe represents the
students who pay for publication of the Collegian. Not just the people in
office, or thepeople who complain about anything they do not consider
"nice." We may not always agree with what he says, but we defend his
right to say it. He occupies only a small space in our paper compared to
thecountless people who are always saying the same old things. Never
before has this editor been told byso many students that they like
something in the Collegian as those who tell him about Clough's column. By
the way, if you do not like his column, why do you read it?

Page 6 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN December 12, 1958 Letter to the
editor: 1 Challenge the Administration1 Dear Editor: "STATUS QUO" IS A
hallowed word at Western. Retain the "status quo"and Western will retain
its static position which seems to be the aim of certain members of
theadministration and the administrative policy. I would like to ask Dr.
Haggard, does Western have anArts and Science Program? The college
catalogue implies that it does, but the Placement Office does not seem to
be aware of the fact. Wednesday night several of the Arts and Science
seniors attendeda meeting in which "ALL seniors are urged to attend" only
to find one hour and fifteen minutes devoted to placing teachers and not
one mention of placement for the Arts and Science graduate. About 20%
ofthe student body are enrolled in the Arts and Science Program. Are all
of these people to be exposed toa system which is the outgrowth of the
Education Curriculum? Whether in an education or non-education course,
the emphasis is placed on the situation we will face as a graduated
teacher. IWISH TO EXPRESS the student's appreciation to Mr. O'Neil for
the wonderful job he is doing ondistributing information on scholarships
available to Western graduates. On more than one occasionhe has implied
that the Western student is not capable of being granted a good
scholarship. Hemay be right. I cannot remember tlie lasi, recipient of a
Rhodes or• Fulbright award—or could
it bethat the qualified students are not made aware of their
availability. It is encouraging to find that thePuritan ideology is still
retained at Western. It seems that n o t b e h e r e - However, I and
manycigarette advertising is to be others are fed-up with the prevailing
frowned upon in the COLLEG- graduatehigh school attitude. If IAN. We are
all aware of the t n e college catalogue is to continue fact that
theWestern student to l i s t a n Axts a n d Science Program, does not
smoke, and can evi- l e t i t s effectbe felt in the academic dence this
hyprocisy in the form realm and not only verbiage in a of the
cigarettemachine in the Publication. We want a college student lounge. It
is also grati- w h i c h We c a n n a m ew i t h Pr i d e i n" fying to
note, Dean Powers, that s t e a d o f hanging our head in shame a
certainlocal dining room is a n d stating we are from Bellingham not an
approved college meeting ^o r m a l -place because it has a bar in the
same building. Are you aware, Miss Powers, that Western has thereputation
of a drinking school? WE IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCE Curriculum consider
Western to be a good school or we would I challenge the Administration
to publicly express their views on theseissues. Do you, the liberal arts
students of Western, agree with me? I am interested in your views andI'm
sure the Administration is also. LARRY McCORD Since this will be taken
as a seriouslycontroversial letter, it seems well to state here that
letters to the editor do not reflect the opinion of theCollegian or the
College.—Editor I T HAS BEEN I^OVBP AND SECONDED THAT

of Germany TRY OUR DRIVE-IN CASH AND CARRY MILK PUN Saveon Fresh Milk
"IT'S A LONG STORY, but the final reason why we came to America was
because weconsidered it would be an adventure," explains Western freshman
Christal Gedicks to the question ofwhy she and her parents left Germany
in 1956. The details go back to World War II. "I WAS BORN INWHAT IS NOW
EAST GERMANY, but during the war we moved away from advancing troops. For
fouryears we didn't know where my father was, and when we were re-united
after the war we no longer had ahome." But it was not until the family
was settled in Lubach, near Hamburg, and inflation struck thatthey
applied to come to America. Meanwhile, Mr. Gedicks sold his store and
moved the family toWupper-tal, in the Rhineland. 'We'd heard that
everyone in America is a millionaire," Miss Gedicksrecalls with a smile.
"We thought we would go to America and join the crowd. But it took three
years toget the papers through. There was red tape and countless
questions. They kept asking us, 'Are youNazis? We were told we'd have to
wait." WITH A CHARMING SMILE, the freshman class Homecomingprincess
added, "I'm glad we moved now. I like it very much in this nation, and I
like it at Western." Buttimes were not always so bright. "I can still
remember the war. It was terrible. We moved from town totown and I can
remember streets lined with dead persons or with marching soldiers." It
was near the end of the war that Miss Gedicks recalls seeing Russians for
the first time. She-remarked that theyseemed to have no culture or
civilization. They washed potatoes in the toilet, for instance, and had
goldteeth made from confiscated rings and watches, the comely Western
lass stated. "There is hatred of the Russians for what they did in
Germany. The Americans gave us candy bars and the attitude of thepeople
was different towards them. But the children were afraid to go to the
Russians." She mentionedmore atrocious specific instances, then digressed
to tell a humorous story about the Russians. It seems that her mother
knew a lady from whom had been stolen a pocket watch, and that the
Russian soldiertook the watch to the jewelry store. There he demanded the
large watch be made into three little wristwatches! The pleasantness of
West Germany's Rhineland was made evident. :^: . y?J.v-: £-:

America. We like nature—water and nature. I like
thepeople in the Rhine-land. And there's drinking. From age 10! Well . .
. You should go to the winterfests— not just because
of the wine, though. Many Americans attend them. The interview
wasreluctantly (on the reporter's part) concluded with her observation
that too many political questions had been asked. Student Christal
Gedicks then returned to class. Western Wins, Loses In TacomaTournament

contested battle. Westernwas hurt early in the game when Ron Thompson was

December 12, 1958 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 7 Game Here Tonight:
Seattle acificPlays Vikings By HOWARD DEWITT HOPING TO GET BACK on the
victory trail Western's hoop squad meets Seattle Pacific College tonight
at eight o'clock in the school gymnasium. Next Friday andSaturday night
the Vikings tangle with Willamette and Linfield of the Northwest
Conference. OnJanuary 22 Western travels to Linfield for their final
tuneup prior to the opening of EvergreenConference action, on January 9.
Seattle Pacific, minus their high scoring guard Loren Anderson, haveto
depend on a double post. Orville Anderson, the Falcon's leading scorer,
and John Knaplund handlethe pivot alignments. Pint-size Ron James is the
top outside man and does a good job of feeding thepost men. RON THOMPSON,
WESTERN'S high scoring center, will wear a face mask to protect hisbroken
nose. A doubtful starter is Ray Kycek who bumped his head on the
backboard in a recentscrimmage. Jack deKub-ber, a major disappointment so
far this year, is now fully recovered from theankle injury that slowed
him up in the first three games. COMMENTING ON HIS team's performance
inTacoma Coach Jack Hubbard stated, "Our defense was good and the offense
is rapidly improving. Our field goal percentage has not been too good but
we have had a strong defense to fall back on." If Kycek is unable to
play against Seattle Pacific, Ron Sal-tis will probably get the starting
call. Saltis, astarter earlier in the season, is a good defensive player
but has failed to score in the first three games. Hubbard expects his
squad to be at full strength for the league opener against Eastern, Jan.
9. EdVadset and Wendy Weld will give Western considerable strength at
guard and forward respectively, ifthey are eligible winter quarter. Both
players were starters earlier in the season but have beenineligible due
to grade difficulties. IN INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS reserve guard Dermot
Cunningham has shot 67% from the field while Thompson has flipped in 52%
of his field goal attempts. From the freethrow line Thompson has plunked
in 23 of 31 attempts for 74 per cent. Gary Moore, freshman forward,leads
the squad in free throw accuracy sinking four of five charity tosses for
80%. Thompson is theleading varsity scorer with 45 points. He is followed
by freshman guard Nello Morganti with 38 points,and Bill Wright who has
dropped in 20. Vik Women Wrap Up Sports Program with Hockey FridayALONG
WITH CHRISTMAS presents many of the sports activities carried on by the
women students,will be wrapped up, too, this week. Western's women took
two volleyball teams to Everett Junior College last Friday to
participate in an all-day volleyball sportsday. The Blue Team won 5 and
lost 2 games.The "spikers" on this team were Betty Olson, captain, Leslie
Larson, Jean Patton, Nancy Wheeler,Phyllis Hedges and Sandy Shaw. The
White team Vik Swimmers Ready For Opening Meet UNDERTHE COACHING of John
Kulbitski Western's mermen are slowly rounding into shape for the
comingcampaign. The squad practices three times a week, although classes
cause many of the squad'smembers to miss practices. A strong contingent
of newcomers are pushing the Vikings' fivereturning letter winners for
the varsity jobs. The squad will not be selected until shortly before
theseason opens. Returning let-termen include Alan Coghill, Cole Comings,
Charles McCurdy, Dave Munro, and Harold Ro-denberger. COMMENTING ON THIS
year's team, Kulbitski stated, "If all the boys areeligible we will be
much stronger from all indications, than we were last year. If we are
going to be in topshape when the season starts we will have to go a
little harder in practice." Rodenberger, who finishedsecond in the
conference in the 200- yard breaststroke and in diving, seems to be the
logical choicefor individual stardom. The 400-yard freestyle relay
quartet finished second in the conference last year.Three members of this
relay team return this season. WESTERN JOURNEYS to the University
ofWashington on January 17 for a dual meet, and travels to College of
Puget Sound on Jan. 21. TheTacoma school is the opposition Jan. 30 as the
Vikings open their home schedule. 2 won and lost 5games. Those on this
team were Gail Tunin-ga, captain; Sue Weidman, Irish Whitechurch,
CarolynLaken-nies, Marilyn Gaskell and Esther Rousso. Many of the women
students are still braving theelements for those last turnouts of field
hockey. Field hockey is still being played but ice hockey is nowa
pre-requisite. This week will also be the last week of hockey turnout as
the women begin studyingfor finals. THE FALL SPORTS were summed up by
the P.E. Department as "quite successful" asthere were many new
participants as well as several old ones. The girls turning out for
volleyball and field hockey wish to thank volleyball adviser Miss Hull
and field hockey adviser Dr. Aitken. In joining with the Yuletide
spirit, the Rheba D. Nickerson Club held its annual Christmas party at
the home of theiradviser Miss Ruth Weythman on Tuesday, December 9.
Dinner and a visit from Santa topped theevening. ON WEDNESDAY EVENING
the Women's Recreational Association held their annualChristmas party in
the Campus cafeteria. By DOUG SIMPSON Another honor was added to guard
EdMelbourne's gridiron accomplishments last Friday. Melbourne was named to
the first team All-PacificNorthwest. Jack Sim, Dennis Sheppard, and Fred
Emerson received honorable mention. The Vikinghoopsters played well in
Tacoma last weekend, but lost Saturday night to PLC, 66-58. Ron
Thompsonand Bob Petrosik paced the squad to Friday night's overtime
victory over CPS, 56-53. . After beingoutrebounded by mediocre St.
Martins two zoeeks ago, Western showed vast improvement in that
all-important department. The Viks pulled down 43 rebounds to only 11 by
the Loggers of CPS. Neither team was particularly effective from the
floor,, but were hot on the charity line. Western converted 30 of
42attempts, with Thompson sinking 17 of 20 tosses. Against PLC Western was
ahead until the last fewminutes before falling before the Lutes, 66-58.
Early in the first half Western's ace pivotman RonThompson suffered a
compound fracture of his nose. Coach Jack Hubbard's squad fought hard,
but minus the high scoring Thompson they'; could not hold off the always
rough Lutes. Bob Roiko, who has beenovershadowed by Chuck Curtis the past
two years proved his value by tanking 25 points to pace PLC. gt; gt; gt;
Tonight Western takes on Seattle Pacific College here in the college gym.
SPC has agood ball club paced by Orville Anderson, and will give the
Vikings a real battle. Ron Thompson will beable to play with the aid of a
face mask. With a healthy Thompson, Western, beginning to jell as a
team,should be able to topple the Falcons. There is a new addition to the
swimming team's equipment thisyear. Assistant Coach Chuck Stutz has
designed a mechanical rabbit that paces the swimmers. The "tin
cottontail" consists of a piece of cloth tied to a string on a
motor-operated pulley. The string on the pulley extends the length of the
pool and is located near the edge so that it can be seen by the
swimmers.After a desired time is decided upon for each lap, the indivdual
figures out the pace he would have to travel in order to obtain the time;
then he sets the machine accordingly. The rabbit can travel as slow as
35seconds per lap, with faster times as desired. The pacer replaces the
coach who ordinarily walks backand forth at a certain pace near the pool's
edge. What will they think of next? College man's best friend SAVE TIME

king: NeilPfundt Tops In Women's Eyes NEIL PFUNDT, junior, proved that
he was first in the women student'seyes as he received the crown of AWS
tolo king at the formal affair attended by 450 people last Friday
evening. Pfundt was crowned at intermission of the dance by AWS
president Barbara Vesledahl. Hewon out over his seven opponents in an
election held during the day of the tolo. A junior residing atDaniels
Hall, he is an art major and a biology minor. He has been chairman of
the Associated StudentBody Publicity Board during the past few months.
Pfundt claims Blaine as his home town andconfesses that his favorite
pastime is skiing. TOLO CO-CHAIRMEN Jane Palmer and Maude Woodtermed the
dance as a success. "We would like to thank all our committees for
lending a helpinghand to make the dance a success. A special thanks should
go to decorations chairman KarenBrunstrom and Janice Pilik who did such a
wonderful job." Decorations were done in turquoise, black,silver, and
pink magenta. Modernistic mobiles hung from the ceiling light fixtures
and a wall sizedmural added accent to the wall opposite the band stand.
Names of each couple attending the tolo wereinscribed on notes which
decorated two large music staffs winding across the two side
walls.Photographs of the dancers were taken by Benson Studios of Everett,
against a free-form figure. Thepictures were arranged by photographer
chairman Lou McElravy. THE DANCE WAS held from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. in
the Elks Hall with music being furnished by the College Dance Band.
Audience toJoin Chorus: Music Department Presents Winter Concert Monday
Night ECSA Conference to Have'New Twists' NEW TWISTS TO OLD IDEAS in
student government procedures will be one of thesubjects discussed by the
Evergreen Conference Student Association, it was decided last week.Heads
of ECSA committees and planners composed of 15 students, held their first
meeting lastThursday in the student center. Formed by 11 colleges in the
state the ECSA is to promote goodwillamong the schools of higher learning
and to establish and maintain high standards of scholarshipand
sportsmanship. Al Jung, ECSA vice-president said, "Perhaps the
fundamental purpose of theConference is to instill in the attending
officers, future Presidents, and leaders, a feeling of confidencein
themselves, thus a confidence in others. It will help them develop their
own strong sense ofresponsibility which will communicate itself to
others." "OUT OF THE CONFERENCE will come a groupof officers,
representatives and communicators who will have a high standard of
achievement andsimplicity in life, a simplicity where one can act on his
own because he has taken the time to reasonand confide in himself. This
is what the public should respect and does." The fall executive
meetingwas held in November at Seattle University. Some of the colleges
represented were CentralWashington, Gonzaga, Pacific Lutheran, Seattle
Pacific and Western. St. Martins sat in as an observerand Washington
State College will1 sit in at the spring conference. Topics will include
problems onfollow-up work, making ECSA specifically useful to member
schools, artist book information, theexpanding membership, keeping the
meetings short and compact. The schools are going to collaboratein
planning the artists and lecturer's tours. One of the chief drawbacks
last year was lack of publicityand advance planning according to the
representatives. To improve, Western has already set upcommittees and
taken steps to make this year's conference more succesful. ORGAN,
CHORAL, solovoice and instrumental music, and community singing of two
favorite carols are programmed forWestern's annual Christmas Concert next
