EDITORIAL LETTERS. . . THE GREAT BATTERSBY FIELD FIASCO! The epitome of
disunity andcouldn't-care-lessness was again displayed Saturday night at
Battersby Field. As the band was preparing to play the National Anthem the
game was started instead. I realize I'm being Pascistic by dwelling on
the subject of patriotism but in considering that Western is such a highly
individualistic school with largepockets of intellect we are probably
above such trivia as the "Star Spangled Banner." Western'slethargic fans
again rose to the occasion Saturday night. Western's cheering section
consisted of fivefreezing, cheer-ig screaming maidens in purple dresses
and a scattering of inebriates in the far cornerof the stands. The few
loyal Viking fans were constantly drowned out by three or four carloads of
Centralrooters on the other side. Why do Westernites go to the games? For
"Brownies"? At halftime theWestern Philharmonic sitting band surged on
the field like a mighty tidal wave and treated the crowd to atimely
arrangement of musical scores. The music was as appropriate to a football
game as an aria from the Three Penny Opera would be during the seventh
inning stretch of a baseball game. The GlassBubble of the Music
Department must have been smashed when certain people discovered that
bringingthe Concert and Lecture series to football games was not received
well and not included in theaesthetic attitudes of the students. The C
and L series is fine but not shoved down our throats at anathletic event.
The football team put on a fine performance but the events and attitudes
of the students seemed geared to make Western the laughing stock. Do we
want to have and support athletics atWestern or it is like too many
students have stated, "WHO CARES?" Mike Martin GRADEPREDICTIONS
Freshmen and transfer students! Wondering what your report card will look
like thisquarter? Here is Page 2 Dear Editor: I am an incoming freshman
here at Western and I love the school.I think it's great. I only dislike
and worry about one thing and that is: Where is our flag? True, manydays
start out raining but by afternoon the sun is out and the flag pole
stands there like a pencil withno eraser. It looks bad. There are no
flags flying anywhere else oh campus either. This is just one of the
little things that the Commies sit over in Russia and wait for us to
i'orget. Also, one other gripe. Thefootball game between Western and
Central this past weekend was the first sports event I've everattended
that the National Anthem wasn't played before the game. Who goofed?
Thanks a lot, Namewithheld by request Dear Editor: This campus doesn't
need a new $950,000 library. It needs $950,000worth of up to date books,
journals, etc. for the present library. Sincerely, Sam Herman PARKING
your chance to get a sneak preview. All freshmen and transfer students
who have not received their gradeprediction test results may pick their
scores up at their counselor's office during the coming week.WESTERN
WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Cars are out . . . by Dave Colburn Prediction: Next
year will bea mass mad scramble for motor scooters. Not caused by a
status seeking Don Quixote, butinvented by a crazed, frustrated, and late
student. In other words, cars are out and inversly parkingspaces are in.
If the influx of cars continue we'll have to tear down Old Main, the Art
Building, the MusicBuilding, and the Rain Forest for parking spaces and
classes will be taught in cars similar to the waydrive-in movies teach.
If you live ten blocks from school don't drive because you'll have to
walk twelveblocks to get to class. There is a solution to mitigate our
fears. Actually there are two solutions: (1) build a temporary gravel
parking lot in the Veteran's housing area or (2) build a four level car
garage. The firstidea is a sound one and it would hold 400 cars but this
would only be a temporary measure. The second plan would cost $1,200,000
to build and would take years to pay off at a cost of $2,380 per stall or
perperson. This plan is of course unreasonable but there are people
vitally interested in October 27, 1961

finding a solution, and Mr. Harold Goltz, Ass't. to the President,
discussed a few alternatives thatwould be good probable solutions. I just
hope the machinery behind the red tape is fast or within the next ten
years there won't be any campus—just one tremendous
drive in school. THEM THERE EYESWhispered rumor: Big battle in
Legislature this week. everyone, and pondering. And when the meetingwas
over and everyone left still eyeing each other and trying to figure out
who hadn't dropped the bomb,or who was where, why for when. It was kinda
confusing . . . Diddly damn, why don't we have good oldknock down drag
out legislatural controversies anymore so everyone can leave feeling
satisfied orsomething. There's nothing as stupid as everyone staring at
everyone else. IIAN^^HS^^^^Ki^M^^fe^^SfP*1* To Gadfly

great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended fromheaven and came
and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it. And for fear of
him thekeepers did shake and become as the dead. And the angel spake unto
them and said: Fear not, I meanyou no harm. I have come only to remove
the gross blot that lies on this house. For if you continue tobarricade
yourselves with this puritanical plywood you shall succeed only in
barricading integrity,trust and freedom. In closing up your house you
have also closed up dessention and distrust in yourhearts. So, disregard

APATHY IN A GAP Student Government at Western by Karen Bainter Apathy,
apathy, apathy . . . thewords echo hollowly year after year whenever
Western's student government, student body or therelationship between the
two are described. The symbolic blue blazer, or authoritarian wooden
gavel, motions, ayes, nays, committees, gripes and complaints, and the
controversies that Clayton, Carson Boysen, Al Randall, Louise Bailey,
Dave Corliss, Karen Fortin, Bruce Stubbs, Gary Beeman, Thisyear's
Legislature members include Dick Hayes, ASB President; Gordy Mills, ASB
Vice President; SueMartin, Secretary; Richard Reynolds, Director of
Student Affairs, and John Wuest, GovernmentDepartment, advisors; and Dick
Frank, Mike Hyatt, Martin Millbank, Terry Motions, ayes,
nayes,committees, complaints, the Legislature meets . . . everyone knows
enough about to gripe and rumble,but no one really knows the exact truth
of what is going on, or really cares enough to present theiropinion to
student officers or to trouble to check facts. Part of the gap between
the studentgovernment and the student may be the fact that the average
student doesn't know, or really care howWestern's government is set up.
The basic skeleton of Western's student government consists of
threebranches, just like the United States government, the Legislative,
the Executive and the Judicial. Theblue blazer crew, the Legisla-.. ture
is the Legislative branch which m a k e s the policies. Meetingswhich are
open to the student body are held weekly, Mondays at 4:00 in the
Legislature room on thesecond iloor of the VU. Student turnout is usually
quite skimpy barring the times when whisperings ofa big controversy seep
out to the rest of the campus. Page 4 and Lrnea Wichland,
representatives. TheExecutive branch includes the ASB President, his
cabinet, and the chairman of the standing boards. The ASB Boards carry out
the policies formulated by the Legislature. The standing boards are Pep,
Social,Finance, Public Relations, Union, Facilities, Elections, Co-op,
and Athletics. The final branch ofthe governmental skeleton is the
Judicial branch. Three persons, appointed by the ASB Presidentmake up
this board which interprets the constitution in cases oi conflict. But
there are still gapsbetween the government and the average student. How
many times does the Legislature echo the realvoice of the Western student
in its decisions.. How many votes are cast under the influence of
purelypersonal biases? How many representatives are "yes men" simply
be-caue it is easier thanstanding up for a small point that isn't really
WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN too important, orthat is a little too much
bother to investigate thoroughly? In an attempt to, reach the student
body'sfeelings and views on different subjects the Legislature members
are working on a plan by whichthey could talk and be questioned by
students at house meetings in campus dorms and living groups.Perhaps, this
will narrow some gaps, and kill the fungus of apathy and indifference
which grows inclusters on Western's "Don't Give a Damn" campus. AL
RANDALL Meet your Legislator by Penny VanSlyke Today while I was
guzzling coffee and smoking cancer fags in the Cof-iee Shop, who should
come groping through the screen of smoke but Al Randall, your
legislator-at-large. Al applied a month ago forthe Legislature and was
elected. His qualifications for this responsible job were that he was of
Juniorstatus, had fairly high grades, was a member of the Union Board and
the Elections Committee. Al'shome is Edmonds, Washington. He attended
Everett Junior College for one quarter, but wasdisappointed in the lack of
interest displayed by the student body so he transferred to Western.
Here, he has stayed and is now planning to graduate in, two years with a
Teaching Certificate in English. He AlRandall— Alpiner
and English major plans to go into the teaching field, but is also very
interestde inpolitical science, his second major. He enjoys all outdoor
sports, especially skiing and hiking which explains why he is President
of the Alpine Club. October 27, 1961
----------
Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 5
----------
Al takes the responsibilities of Legislature seriously; however, he has
shown particular interest in twophases. The first of these is the Kui-shan
Cabin which is owned jointly by the student body and theBelling-ham
Hiking Club. The cabin is in very bad condition and, being as we do own
half oi the cabin,we should take enough interest in it to repair it. Al
is very emphatic about this and is going on a one-man campaign to
accomplish it. So if anyone feels aa he does, talk to him and give him
your support. He isyour legislate-and if you want to voice your opinion
to the Legislature go to him. He *, working for you.The second phase which
he Is interested in is the National Student Association. This is a
national!;/represented college student association. They have formed a
lobby in Congress through which theycan express student feeling on
political issues of the day. Al was quoted as saying, "Being
connectedwith this organization will force the student body to come in
contact and make decisions on suchissues as Communism and the John Birch
Society. This is a way to get our students to think moreabout National
Affairs than just about the bars on Higginson Hall." I was very impressed
with theinterest shown by Al Randall. He seems to be very competent and
is doing a fine job for you. Oncampus there is an apparition known as a
piledriver. Throughout the day, one can hear this monsterpuffing and
huffing, striving to drive the piles deeper and deeper. Ugly and
powerful, it sits there,surrounded by stacks of pilings, hammering and
smashing, driving and bashing, molding these hunksof wood into a
foundation for1 tile future Humanities Building. The hammer falls
endlessly, Kablonk,kablonk, kablonk. I can easily envision this machine
as a symbol of an inevitability— theinevitability of
the statement "The Strong shall inherit the Earth.'' In the classrooms we
have theTheory of Evolution and Surival of the Fittest, presented to us is
the glorious unfolding of Man's ascent to the top of the evolutionary
heap. October 27, 1961 Man is ruler of the earth because of his ability
toadapt to new envir-omental situations and to adapt the envirinment to
fit his desires. Evolution is change: change is a-daption; adaption is
strength. And the strongest shall survive. Again on campus, we havethe
Administration setting up rules and regulations for "proper" behavior
(also ":or our own good"). Ifone deviates too far from the norm, he will
be placed on Social Probation. Kablonk! In Bellingham, themoneyed men
(the restauranteers and other "small-' businessmen) control the town's
political setup. But this is true of any town of Bellingham's size. These
men decide the "proper" behavior patterns of theircustomers. If the
customers don't practice these patterns of behavior, it is likely that
they will not be customers for long. And the piles are driven deeper . .
. In the United Nations Building, Mr. Kruschevpounds the table,
screaming threats at the Western Nations. The first reaction of a scared
man is toscream. At various test sites throughout the world, nuclear
bombs are smashing the earth, sterilizingand gouging it into parched
wasteland. Again and again the bombs explode louder, the craters
growdeeper, and the men run faster. This month it's a 50 megaton bomb-a
crater 400 feet deep. Smash andrun. . . It appears to me that the people
in power set up the rules of behavior for those not strongenough to be in
power. It may well be that "The bigger they are, the harder they fall",
but it is also truethat the smaller you are, the harder you get smashed.
Undeniably, Might Makes Right. The HammerFalls . . BOOK THEFTS Thieves
run rampant by Don Miller Widespread reports of stealing havereached the
office of The Dean of Men. The stealing has been mainly of text books,
although many other items have also been reported stolen. The primary
areas that the thieves have concentrated on are theV. U. Book Store, the
book racks, just outside of the snack bar, the organized student houses
anddorms, the Dining Hall (Commons) and stndent automobiles. The
percentage of students who aredishonest is extremely small, but this
small minority is reponible for widespread stealing which is caus-fESTERN
WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN ing a great deal of concern to both students and
facultymembers. NOTICE: IF YOU ARE CAUGHT STEALING you can and may be
suspended from thiscollege; further, it may be entered on your permanent
scholastic record. It is requested that eachindividual do the following
in these situations. 1. Stolen Book: Report it at once to the book store
and tothe Dean of Mens office. If the book is found, it can be returned
to you, ONLY if you have reportedyour loss. 2. Found Book: Turn the book
into the lost and found as soon as possible. (Located in OldMain at the
Business Office.) MARKED BOOKS are a deterent to stealing. Please mark
your books insuch a way that they may be easily identified. "Protect your
belongings." DO NOT lay down your textbooks where someone may be tempted
to steal them. Examples of the stealing which is taking placeare: One
student set all his books down in the coffee shop then proceeded to buy
some coffee. When he returned, his books were gone. In the book store a
student bought an Earth Science book for $5.50He laid it down with the
rest of his books and returned to buy a pocket book which he had
forgotten topurchase. When he returned to the book rack three minutes
later— NO Earth Science BOOK .'.'.'The ASB Legislature
has appointed a committee to check into the possible purchase of lockers
to aidstudents in safeguarding their property. If you need books but do
not have sufficient funds to by them,you can borrow money from the
student loan fund. To arrange for a loan, contact either the Dean ofMen's
or the Dean of Women's offices. Page 5

WESTERN HOSTS ACU Smothering under heaps of memos, notes and letters
Darryl Zentner, UnionBoard Chairman, is finishing plans for the ACU
Conference to be held in the VU Building next weekend. The Region Eleven
Association of College Union's Conference will began Thursday, November
2, andwind up Saturday, November 4. Over 230 people (both students and
faculty) will represent over 40colleges and universities in California,
Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii,British
Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Last years conference was held at
the University ofCalifornia at Davis, California. A cabaret mixer will be
held Thursday night iu the Coffee Shop for "getacquainted" purposes. This
necessitates that thp Coffee Shop be closed to Western students for
theevening. (This is to give you ample warning to start a "migrate to
cafes movement" or plan instantcoffee in tap water attempts.) The
conference this year will be the largest in the history of theassociation.
The agenda of the conference is concerned with student activities, not
studentgovernment. The schedule includes banquets, meetings and
discussions. "This is a conference wherethings get done," states Darryl
Zentner who has attended two others. LEGISLATURE Unanimous Ayes by Nancy
Matson At 4:00, October 23, amid low lights and cigarette smoke,
Western's seventeen sat around the rectangular table in VU
208— the Legislature meeeting was in order. Two items
made upthe old business. The first, the Brothers Four. Because only 475
students bought tickets for theafternoon performance, an expected amount
of money was not made—but, as Gordy Mills broughtout,
the purpose of the program was not to make money but to entertain. And
besides, an A L seriesperformer has never made over $1,500 (to the series
large crowds never seem to go, it was added.) Thisseems to justify the
loss (yours incidentally), and most Legislature's consciouses appeared to
beeased as no one "made a fuss". The second item under old business was
to elect representa- DarrylZentner, Mr. Reynolds, Tom Gill Completing

tives to the NSA regional atOregon State. Out of six candidates, Carson
Boyson, Karen Fortin, Mike Hyatt, and John Sigardsonwere elected. New
business was opened with the unanimous approval of having Mr. Weust stay
on asadvisor. Five more unamimous decisions followed: to appoint a
committee of five (any others who have ideas can contribute, too) to
investigate the concession situation for the new gym; to transfer the
jobof deciding the feasibility of Western's attending the Oregon State
Winter Carnival February 23- 25 atBend, Oregon to the ski club; to agree
upon paying $7.50 rental for the third Union barber chair until thenew
college owned chair arrives from Japan; and to refer again to committee
the stealing problemprevalent on campus. This last unanimous decision
came about after a long discussion in responseto Don Miller's report on
stealing at Western. He said that the Bookstore would have to sell
$1,000worth of merchandise to make up for $100 worth of losses. It was
suggested that students will justhave to keep an eagle eye out for their
belongings to prevent them from disappearing until otherprecautions can be
made. To combat the thieves it was suggested that lockers be bought or
rented bythe college, and that a threat of being expelled and exposed in
the Collegian be used as a deterent.Lastly Gordy Mills brought the
Legislature up to date on homecoming revealing that Western would be
transformed into an imaginary kingdom, the student body into peasants;
the faculty into lords,midterms into the harvest, and that the bonfire
would not be a "brawl" but a rally where houses can throw things on the
fire (things, referring to effigized house mothers, he jokingly added.)
Karen Fortin endedthe hour by putting in a plug for the Friars, a singing
group from Michigan State. There's a possibilitythey might be performing
on campus in April. The meeting was closed by President
DickHayes—without the usual unanimous ayes. FALL

by Hardev Shergill The Constitution of India provides for free and
compulsoryeducation for ail children between 6 to 14 years of age and
this is primarily the responsi-lity of the stategovernments. The Union
Government concerns itself with the co-ordination of facilities and
determinationof standards in respect of higher educaction and research
and scientific and technical education. Co-ordination in regard to
elementary and secondary education is secured through All-India Councils.
TheUnion Government are also responsible lor the running of four
universities (Aligarh, Banaras, Delhi andVisva Bharti) and such other
institutions of national importance as Parliament may by law
declare.Expenditure About two-thirds of the total expenditure on
education is met from the government funds,the remaining being covered by
funds from municipal a.nd district boards, endowments and tuitionfees.
Tuition fee is charged only from the 9th grade onwards and is rather
nominal except in the case oftechnical colleges. Literacy Percentage of
literacy tor the population as a whole is about 40, it beinghigher in
case of men than women. The percentage of children undergoing instruction
to the total number of children in the age group 6-11 is about 60 and in
the age group of 11-17 about 20. It is assumed thatby 1965-66 all the
children between 6-11 years of age would be in school,. This is by no
means a meanachievement considering that at the time of independence in
1947 only 14 per cent of India's 360million people were literate where as
now 40 per cent among 440 million are literate. Educational system The
educational system is divivded into Primary or Basic, Secondary and
Higher and Universityeducation. Primary or Basic Education 6-14 years An
AlMndia Council for Elementary educationedvises the Central and State
Governments on all matters relating to elementary education and
topreparation of programs for the early implementation of compulsory and
free education. The courses of study are in Languages, Social studies,
General science, Mathematics, Arts and music, Craft andPhys- Page 8
WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN October 27, 1961
----------
Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 9

ical Education. All courses are compulsory for all the students. Among
the languages every child isrequired to learn his mother-tongue, which is
also the medium of instruction, and take up study of Hindu, the official
language of the country, after fifth grade and a third language in the
following year. This thirdlanguage can either be lEnglish or any other
Indian language. Every school, however, is required tomake provision for
the teaching of English which is as a rule the third language. In the
case of secondand third languages, the emphasis is on the language expect
only. Secondary education 14-17 yearsSecondary education is a
self-eou-tained and complete stage because for the majority of the
studentsthis would be the end of schooling. Ai - India Council of
Secondary Education advises the Central andState Governments in all
matters. The curriculum consists of compulsory
core-subjects—Languages, Social studies, General
Science, Mathematics and one Crait and three elective subjects.These
elective subjects are chosen from one of the seven
groups— Humanities, Sciences, Technical,Commercial,
Agriculture, Fine Arts and Home Science. All the schools, however, do
not offer all theseven groups, three being the usual. Besides these three
electives a student may take at his option oneadditional subject from any
of the groups irrespective of whether or not he has chosen his other
optionsfrom that particular group. Language requirement at the secondary
istage is only one language besidesthe mother tongue. This may be Hindi
or English or any other language. Higher and University education
Post-secondary education in India is imparted through arts and science
colleges, professional colleges,special education colleges, research
institutions and universities. The universities are of threedifferent
types: 1. Affiliating type, which do not undertake any teaching but
merely prescribe courses ofstudy, conduct examinations and award degrees
and diplomas in respect of colleges affiliated tothem. 2. Affiliating
and teaching type, which in addition to carrying out functions of the
afliliating type off-generally at the post-graduate level, er teaching
and research facilities 3. Residential and teachinguniversities, which
are unitary organizations controlling all colleges under their
jurisdiction in allrespects and undertaking teaching at all levels. A
number of the new universities belong to thiscategory. Besides these

UMBRAGE An Open Letter TheP.E. Department (never among my staunch
supporters) has found a way to get rid of me. The nyloncimbing ropes may
or may not hold a climber, but the manila ones (somewhat older than i)
areguaranteed to break at the slightest twitch. I'm not asking for new
ropes — just praying. If you don'tbelieve me on the
poor condition of the ropes I will supply statistics. * * * Have
noticed somethingstrange. One of the leading publishers advertises a book
(one of my texts) for $6.50. Our bookstore(which I have been led to
understand was formed to save us money) charges $6.95 for the same book.

doing yourshare at improving your paper. I admit it is bad form to comment
unfavorably on the students thatbother to put their comments down on
paper. It is, however, hypocrisy and bad manners to say what alousy job
someone else is doing when you won't (or can't) do anything yourself. *

COLLEGIAN by Bob Pike On May 7,1945, General Jodl signed the
unconditional surrender which ended the war in Europe and brought to
aclose the bloody drama of the Third Reich. With the last gasp of Nazi
Germany came the death ofEurope as master of its own house. With the close
of the war, two giant superpowers would eclipse theimportance of Europe
and place as pawns on their chess board the once mighty nations of
France,Germany, and Great Britain. In the sixteen years since V-iB day,
the cold war has come of age andEurope has become a vital part of the
cold war struggle. Likewise, the question which has plaguedEurope since
1848, has become even more of a problem in this contest between East and
West. Thatproblem is the role of Germany in European and world politics.
Germany Suffers Defeat The Prussianrevolution of 1848 was, by and large,
the great impetus to the nationalistic spirit which demanded
theunification of the German people. In the two decades that followed,
Prussia was to wage warsuccessfully against Denmark and Austria to satisfy
that nationalistic urge. In 1870, Prussia and France would fight a war
which would end in defeat and humiliation for Louis Napoleon on one hand,
and theunification of Germany on the other. In the period between 1871
and 1914, the new Germany was toshow its flexible economic and military
muscle in all walks of European life. Then World War I wouldbring the
first military defeat that Germany had known. That defeat should have
answered the question of Germany's relation to the balance of power. Yet
in the final analysis, the Versa! les Treaty was tohave been built upon a
foundation of said. Nazi Germany was to rise from the shattered particles
of the foundation, in 193?, the world would again be plun-ed into war.
This time the impetus would be theGerman invasion of Poland. The question
that Europe faced was essentially that of 1941 — the
growthof German power. In 1961, the question is different, but it still
concerns Germany. The difference isone which exists because of the pres-

ence of two foreign powers in European affairs. The question is now who
will control Germany. The Berlin Crisis which the world faces today is
only a small part of the total drama of the same question. Berlinis only
a prelude to what the Soviet Union has in mind for all of West Germany.
If the objective of theSoviet Union is to secure its influence over the
territory it now controls in Eastern Europe, then it must be expected
that the Soviets will strike at the position of West Germany and Berlin.
West Germany,with Berlin as its outpost, stands as the greatest single
threat to Soviet security in Eastern Europe. One major reason for this is
economic development. Giant of Industry Since the end of the Second
WorldWar, West Germany has become a giant among industrial nations. This
prosperity of West Germany and Berlin serves as a constant reminder to
the Eastern European States that Communism as aneconomic reality is far
from Utopia. More and more, the nations of Eastern Europe have found
thatCommunism means exploitation by the Soviet Union. To the Soviets,
Communism means nationalism.But, to the Eastern Europeans, Communism has
meant political and economic imperialism. Berlin isthe focal point of
these differences between East and West. Berlin is, as Nikita Khrushchev
has called it, the "bone in the throat" of Communist Europe. Examination
of the figures for refugees fleeing fromEastern Europe to the West gives
support to these economic and political differences. Berlin isdangerous
to the Soviets both as a showcase and as a refuge. If tjhe Soviet Union
is to tighten itssecurity of Eastern Europe, it must not only eliminate
Berlin, but it must eventually weaken the totaleconomic structure of
Western Europe. Destroying Berlin as an outpost does not scolve the
Sovietproblem — it merely transfers i.t Once Berlin is
eliminated, the Soviet's next objective must be the inthe European
economic structure, is the core of the problem reduction of West Grmany
proper. WestGermany, as the cornerstone faced by the Soviet Union. Only
by the elimination of West Germanycan the economic power of Western Europe
be diminished. Not A Unique Problem The United States,and the West, must
view the Berlin Crisis not as a unique problem, but as part of the
question on who is to control Germany. The question of Germany must
finally be settled, but it must be settled withoutthreatening the
long-term security of Western Europe. The freedom of Berlin must be
upheld as thefirst step in insuring that security. As long as Berlin
remains an outpost of the West, the Sovietsystem will not be secure.
Once Berlin is compromised, the West has threatened its own position
andthe security of the future generation. THE FIFTH CORNER by Judy
Borman To Mr. Nelson —Though the issue of Carol E.
Williamson's letter to the editor has already been overdone, I would like
to point out, in reference to your letter, that Miss Williamson's being
"only a Freshman" was one of tworeasons given for her hesitance to take a
stand on the issue involved, and was thus subject to fair attack In fact
she wrote me a letter amending this statement to read: "Since I have not
had the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge on the matter . . . I
feel that I cannot honestly take a stand." Mr. SidneyMendel set the minds
working and the tongues thirsting as he recounted to a group of student
writers his own campus days when aspiring authors met to discuss their
manuscripts in a smoke-filled room over a pub. The handiness of a keg
seemed to be a constant inspiration and the Western Writer's Club
tookheart as they began to plan for future writer's meetings. Any
interested student may submit some of his writings to Mendel and to Writer
editor Brent Remmert, who will then have the better samplesmimeographed
and distributed to others in the group to be discussed at the next
meeting. The groupwill meet again this Thursday and the meeting is open
to everyone. Something new this year: Coedstudent-faculty recreation in
the gym and swimming pool each Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. What
hashappened to the English language? Who has hidden the rules of grammar
and lost the dictionary?Who has taken the language and drowned it in
ambigious, inaccurate verbiage? The answer to thisquestion might well be:
the American public school. Somewhere along the line, students have
failed tolearn the correct use of their own language. The themes and
reports submitted in college classes areoften appallingly poor. Something
is terribly amiss when college students write fragrments instead
ofsentences and use periods instead of commas. Let's take a good look at
our English grammar textand start re-evaluating our use of the language
and also, what do you say we take a look at a dictionaryonce in a while?
The UN — an idea that was too ideal, a concept which
was twisted as it grew. Thispast week the U.N. flag has flown the world
over and the world over there have been mixed emotionsabout the flying of
the gold and blue. The words United Nations bring to mind, not the
actualorganization but rather our own country, a nation of many people
united under the word "America."Let me quote from Archibald MacLeish:
"She's a tough land under the corn mister: She has changedthe bone in the
cheeks of many races, She has winced the eyes of the soft Slavs with her
sun on them. She has tried the fat from the round rumps of Italians
Even the voice of the English has gone dry Andhard on the tongue and
alive in throat speaking: She's a tough land under the oak trees Mister.

LA PELOTITA by Nigel Adams Western looked tremendous, the weather was
cold, and you'll never seea better game of football played again this year
by a team so inspired, so full of guts and so consistent. On the other
hand, Central looked sloppy and loathsome for a team that was supposed to
be so red hotthat not even the best bartenders in town could handle them
last Friday night. For being in first place theydon't deserve it. For game
sportsmanlike conduct they deserve to be at the bottom of our
neighboringinstitution's totem pole. No, there is no reason for a team like
Central to be in first place and there isdefinitely no reason for
Western's finest team in years5 to hang its head in remorse. No one on
campuswould expect it of the best. So lets direct la pelotita debajo y
siga leyendo: Item: Western 13 - Central 18 — After the
printer's ink errored my prediction on last week's game I spetit the
weekend hated andignored as usual, or admired as a future Royal Brougham
(intention 13-8). Western defeated itself inabout three big moves but
5,000 plus fans went away talking about one of the most inspirational jobs
inthe history of Western athletics. Future stars, well you can bet that
the material for next year ihas gained its combat wings already;
Congratulations to the great thinking of the Messrs. Drs. Lounsberry
andjomaras. Item: Wester* J.V.' Double Delight — The
J.V.s took two big games from UBC's junior varsityby the scores of 18-7
and 19-6. Leading the Vik-ettes were Ray Anchan and Jerry Joyce's
breakawayrunning. This department was just wondering how many of the
ballplayers from UBC were a part of thecontingent who played the Big
Brothers early this year. Well, that's sports. Item: School Spirit
— Thiswriter would like to congratulate Western's yell
team for outcheering Central's cheering team becauseWestern had more Yell
leaders. Need more be said to the apathetic upper or udder classmen. You
knowyou set the example and when you don't get u,p and yell
— what do you expect the Freshmen to do.Quit trying to
show you're superior when you don't do anything to PROVE it to them. You
know the upper classmen are supposed to be those so casual, such smooth
clods that don't live in the past on THEIRMEMORIES. Quit being nostalgic,
it's sickening. Item: Ex Viks 8 -Georgian 0 — Just a
bunch of has-beens winning their third victory. Game honors go to a new
recruit Jack Heins (former WSU and St.Martin basketball star) and to
former good guy Bill Burby. Team slogain: Better to be a has-been than
anever-was. Item: Varsity Basketball - pertinent facts: 24 game schedule
not counting the playoffs andthe trip to Kansas City. Eight returning
lettermen and 20 freshman. Prediction: They'll be in shape or dead by
December 1. TIME OUT Enter a team into the Intra-mural Basketball league.
Sign up now by gettingan entry blank from Dr. Ciszek. First meeting is o*i
Friday, today at 4:00 in Room 109 of the new Gym . .. another complaint
being heard around campus that the jocks are cutting out on jobs early,
where non-jocks are working side by side with them. Just hoping a few
don't spoil something for the future . . . incase you're wondering who
tries more than anybody to get Western into the big time newspapers,
etc.,it's that man about town Jack Robertson . . . Just kidding (ha, ha)
Whitworth is the only Christian schoolthat sends out a missionary who
majored in football at College . . . and you know as the years go bythey
get better at it . . . Adios pagans. INTER-COLLEGE WRESTLING Hey,
fellows, can you wrestle?No, not coeducationally, inter-collegi-ately. If
you can, you are wanted. Page 14 matches will bearranged soon, and there
is a possibility of an intercollegiate tournament on this campus. About
25men have expressed interest in the team, but others are still needed.
Persons with high schoolwrestling experience are especially preferred.
Turn-outs will start as soon as the recently ordered matsarrive.
Interested persons may contact Dr. Tomaris, the wrestling coach, in the
PE Building any timebefore 3:00. CENTRAL ROTTEN by Nigel Adams For
losing the West Coast Game of the week,Western should never ieel as
though they should play second fiddle. Central's blobs on the line
werebeat to a pulp and if it wasn't for some backs like Rath and Ishida
you can bet that the kids Western isgoing to have a wrestling team for
the first time. Because of a limited budget, the team will have tooperate
on an "at home" basis. However matches have been scheduled with Central
and theUniversity of British Columbia. Other WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN
Viking Chalks One Upfrom the Windy City would be going back empty of
their hot air. Are they that good, and did theymanhandle Western?
Obviously, no. Central is a rotten club for being in first place. They
don't deserve that victory in the least. The only time they looked fairly
good was in the first series of plays when theyscored. From then on it
was Western's night as finer conditioning and better alertness paid off
timeand time again. Outstanding for Western were Garry Moore and Bob
Plotts at the ends. Plotts had apenalty nullify and was the game's
leading ground gainer with 95 yards. All alone was another
freshmansensation, Terry Varner. It was Varner who would have had the
tying touchdown at halftime had it notbeen barely deflected. This was a
turning point. Tn the line Dick Hayes, Matt Kjel-stad and GaryFumano,
were short of great in stopping Central. October 27, 1961

WHITWORTH Whitworth builds for grudge by Nigel Adams The Whitworth M a c
h i n eis building for what is considered to be a grudge perpetrated by
their coach Sam Adams. It started wayback last year when film trading and
then, ineligible trackmen, made the league penalize the Whitworth
Machine. The film trading wan an incident where Western's game with a
Tacoma school was handedover to Whitworth so they could be ready for a
Western team that won only two games last year. SoWestern travels to
Whitworth and Spokane and meets a Machine in Whitworth and an
alumniWhitworth newswriter in a Spokane paper. The latter comment because
last spring when the bancame, this one sports editor wrote a nice little
editorial saying that Whitworth is a nice little school, withnice little
Christian kids and they have nice little coaches who don't really mean
anything wrong — Sowhy ban them? Now let's face it.
There are a lot of other Christians at other schools So some of
theseChristians have state support. But all Christians believe in rules
for man to live by. So il' you commit asin you're guilty. It's that
simple. Why make an issue of the ban? But Whitworth has made an issue of
ittime and time again. Notice the big scores against some of the schools.
You know, when winning, evenathletics has some ethics. Last week Eastern
lost, 52-0; earlier in the year it was a PLU team, 67-0,etc. etc. How
will Western fare? I'm afraid they'll do all right. It would be foolish
not to pick Whitworthsimply on the basis of comparative scores. But
Western hasn't played its best game of the year yet. Itwlil be a wide open
affair with lots of running and passing from Spur-lock and Murio. This
corner picksWestern, 21 — Whitworth 20. (It's a
football game, not a grudge battle, remember.) HIGGIHS0NDEDICATION Gala
affair Oct. 30 Dedication of Higginson Hall will take place Sunday Oct.
30 at 2:00a.m. Judy Ritchie, president of Higginson Hall, will be master
