Dr. Harvey C. Bunke became the seventh president of Western Washington
State Col-lege on January 21, 1965. He had pre-viously been a professor
of economics since 1953 at the State University of Iowa. Presi-dent Bunke
is a 1947 graduate of the U. of Illinois. He is forty-three years old.
With an intensive desire to reach into fields beyond his own specialty of
economic philosophy, President Bunke has served as teacher,
administrator, lecturer, writer and consultant to both business and
gov-ernment. He taught economics at the U. of Tennessee and was a
visiting lecturer at Tulane. He also has served as consultant to the Iowa
Commerce Commission and to the Great Northern Railroad. President Bunke
is the author of numer-ous articles and two books, among them The Liberal
Dilemma. "However excellent buildings, curriculum, and facilities may be,
our students will never reach their fulplo tential without an imaginative,
aggressivef aculty. " president bunke sees first year at western

prospectus '66 II Prospectus is a look ahead, an ex-amination of Western
as it is and an optimistic glance into its future. Academic and physical
expansion of the college is a topic of much discussion and spurious day-
dream-ing of an institution known as State University of Western
Washington. The college is entering upon a new dimensio in higher
education with increasing demands for more gradu-ates and swelling
freshman classes-not withstanding the critical need for expansion of
graduate programs within the college. 1r

College Land Use Plan, 1965-85 The conditions of the campus site, its
topography, circulation and avail-able land have influenced develope-ment
of the campus in the past and made it what it is today. Due to the
topography the expansion of certain cavilities will conflict with needs of
others for expansion. Priorities have this been assigned in order that more
important needs are filled first. These are informally ordered as academic
bulidings, student service core facilities, athletic facilities, dormitory
complexes, the physical plant, and lastly parking. The land
requirements of parking facilities are great, and the expense must be
carried by student and faculty fee. Parking should penetrate various campus
facilities, but not take priority over sites for academic buildings.
Prize-winning Ridgeway dormitory complex includes Commons and recreation
facilities for 900 students.

Western's faculty now numbers almost 300, with promise of more growth, if
blueprints for new aca-demic buildings are any indication. In the next few
pages we have assembled a representative group of photographs of faculty
members, realizing the impos-sibility of picturing the entire faculty
adequately in our limited space. what's the missing element? - the

student government changes a.s. constitution The apathetic game of
politics on campus was made exciting this year when the play-ers decided
to change the rules. Major issues this year centered about the totally
new question of apportionment. Two years ago the office of Vice-President
was split along entertainment and political lines. This was believed
necessary due to rapid growth in enrollment at Western. Last year the
program was challenged for reasons of further growth. And this year the
decision was reversed by the 20-25% of voting stu-dents on campus.
Believe it or not, student government in- volves more than the needs and
ambitions of the legislative board that executes it. Whether or not the
board handles its $100,- 000+ budget wisely is an academic ques-tion.
Through specialized committees, government takes on its genuine
effective-ness. These committees, such as Helmsmen, Judicial Board,
AMS-AWS, Academic Stan-dards, and so forth, are comprised of stu-dents
with a particular interest in college operations other than wearing a blue
blazer and drinking free coffee. It is through these relatively few
students, as compared to the 5,200 student population, that pertinent
values in student government are fully realized.

class government-to be or not to be? The coffee is poured, the lemonade
sloshed into paper cups, pipes and cigarettes lit, blue notebooks are
open-ed and papers shuffled and at 4:05 (or slightly there-after) the
Monday afternoon session of the S.S. Legislature meets, as scheduled. The
gavel sounds, the room rises to face the flags - business begins. Some
Mondays there is a tenseness in Rm. 12 due to a warning that monkey
business has no place around the oak table. Other days an open jovialty is
ill put to conceal, as when VP Ken Riddell's first-born be-came an
honorary member of the body. And still other Mondays you can't really tell
what they've got up their sleeves, or even understand their procedure
without a copy of Roberts'Rules at hand. Among issues discussed this year
were Union enlarge-ment, pros and cons of class government, constitu-tional
changes, troubles with the Collegian, and the adoption of a new book on
parliamentary procedure. The Legislature is under the advisement of Drs.
Herbold and Radke, and led by Blair Paul, A.S.B. President.

Ken Riddell, Executive VP, presides over PAC regularly to coordinate
political and controversial programs on campus. pac opens doors to the
"outside world" Fighting apathy and stimulating political and
intellectual awareness is the job of the Public Affairs Commission-and a
task not so easily accomplished. Executive vice-president Ken Riddell
worked persistently in his capacity as PAC Chairman, despite protests from
his board and from any ambitious critics. Riddell brought noted and
controversial speakers to campus, one being Paul Krassner, editor of the
Realist. During a single week the PAC invited a Communist, a John Bircher
and a member of the Christian Anti-Cbm-munist Youth Crusade to speak in
con-secutive order to Western students. Let it be mentioned that more
than a few were shaken from the collegiate middle-of-the-road, if only
mentally. Membership on the PAC varies quarterly, representing NSA, Peace
Corps, WUS, People-to-People, and World Travel. It is commendable that a
student board that has, according to the AS elective poll, run its course
as a necessary organization, managed to expire with an outstanding record
of fine programs and distinguished speakers as has this year's PAC. Dan

Brent Hayrenen, Program VP With an entertainment program starlit with

Wither-spoon and Hanna Brown, Western students were able to take time out
from studies, etc., thanks to the efforts of the Program Council. In
addition to programming name-performers the board brings in special
entertainment, art exhibits, organ-izes Homecoming, schedules dances,
man-ages Lakewood and even has a hand in campus politics at times. Union
dances were the headache for the council this year, and the board set up
regulations to crackdown on over-exuber-ant go-goers. An occasional
scuffle with the athletic department over gym facilities, and problems at
Lakewood also added to the board's chore. Brent Hayrenen, had his share
of op-position, but managed to keep the en-tertainment rolling from
September to June in the tradition of harrassed Program Vice Presidents.

The Klipsun annually (no pun intended) maintains a tradition of human
suffering and disparity, but manages to produce a book one way or
another. Such was the case again in '66.as the staff dwindled from a
mighty ten to a dejected three (and 99% of the time, one) and spent long
hours in the VU basement pounding at typewriters, writhing in rubber
cement, and wading through the copy paper accumulating under foot. It is
to the Klipsun 's creditthatitmanaged to stay out of student politics for
once, and did not participate in soapbox soundoffs. Neither did the staff
petition the Legislature for more money, breaking a common tra-dition.
Contrary to popular belief, the Klipsun does not hate the Collegian.

Four years ago there were 3,400 students enrolled at Western. Last October
it seemed as though there were that many parents roaming about campus on
Parents Day. Every year the college sets aside one Sunday fall quarter
when the college is dressed up for rigid inspection. House-mothers jump
on their subservients to be sure dirty laundry is safely behind closet
doors, and the administration keeps the parents jumping all day so as to
keep them occupied with things other than normal college life. The
afternoon began in a program host-ed by Dean Merle Kuder, followed by
Mar-shall Forrest, Trustee, and Dean Charles A. Flora, who greeted the
parents. In the following hours parents were introduced to faculty
advisers who ably answered ques-tions about their young frosh. The parents
were served refreshments in the union be-fore leaving. Thereafter Western
returned to Normal.

characterize the 3 D's-who then should have been named the 3 V's. The group
has performed before Korean farmers,Japanese students, military
personnel, boy scouts, congressmen, and still prefers college stud-ents
as their natural audience. The trio met a large crowd and earned a
pleasing re-sponse on October's "Evening of Fun." At first they appeared
to bear a message, opening with ballads debasing the wicked ways of war,
but relieved its audience by following with a repertoire ranging from pop
music to humor. Decidedly and definitely different-the 3 D's.

streaks and Dr. James Lounsberry resigned from his position as Western's
head football coach. Coach Lounsberry was greeted by 23 letter winners
among the 68 initial football aspirants. Only six of these were seniors.
Victory came quickly as the Viks plucked the University of British
Columbia Thun-derbirds for a 12-0 win. A 19- 6 loss to Central evened the
record but Western got more than a consolation against Whitworth by
beating the Pirates for the first time since 1958. Two plays made the
difference as Pacific Lutheran University rolled to a 27-14 win

tied a game with the University of Puget Sound 13-13 before losing to the
highly-rated Savages from Eastern by a 34-7 score. The final victory of
the year ended a five-year Viking drought against Central. The Viks hit
for three first-half touchdowns to coast to a 23-14 win. At the close of
the season Coach Lounsberry resigned as coach. Though he had compiled a
25-24-3 record in his six years at Western, Lounsberry felt he had had
little success. Whitworth 's All-American end George Elliot appears ready
to make one of his many pass receptions, but Bruce Delbridge batted the
ball to the ground.

More than 100 women participated in the Women's Recreation Association's
intercol-legiate sports program. The rising trend in women's competitive
sports was evident with such sports as field hockey, basketball, softball,
tennis, badminton and track on the competitive schedule. The highlite of
the year was the North-west Women's Basketball Tournament held March 4-5
in the Sam Carver Gymnasium. Teams from Washington State University,
Central Washington State College, Univer-sity of British Columbia, Seattle
University, Lower Columbia Junior College, Penninsula Community College,
Whitworth College and Centralia Community College participated. The
Western girls opened the tourney against the defending champion
Wildkittens from Central Washington State College and took a 55-21
drubbing as the Centralites dribbed their way to another championship.
The female Vikings were led by Linda Goodrich, Julie Rowe and Alice Witte,
all of whom scored consistently over 10 points per game during the
season.

6,000 enthusiastic fans champed at the bit waiting for the Johnny Mathis
show to begin, building up the Mathis-mania as the minutes went by. At
last, despite delays due to travel and conflicts with basketball
prac-tice, Mathis appeared, and the capacity-filled gym echoed in its
pent up apprecia-tion. The evening soon became one to remember as a
highlight of fall quarter, even if it destroyed the mid-term expecta-
tions of many. "Our Young Generation," a group of 10 singers and
dancers, appeared with Mathis during the first part of the show, and
en-tertainingly held their own under the billing of the renowned singer.
A bright but casual atmosphere prior to intermission gave way to a
relaxed and moody second half, hold-ing the audience with the intensity of
style that is distinctively that of Johnny Mathis alone. His relaxed
manner, superior ar-rangements and continual insistance on the best in
lighting and sound projection added to a talent display hard to match.
Chances are Mathis could have held his audience with a rendition of the
Alma Mater, such was the enthusiasm of the audience. His songs varied
from "Danny Boy" to "The Twelfth of Never", but mainly dealt with that
ever-present part of college life, love. The standing ovation given him at
the close of the performance was pleasingly due, and the crowd
collectively pronounced Johnny Mathis wonderful, wonderful.

pep staff source of "concern" Cheer up, cheerleaders, you may be a source
of concern by sophomores, but the student body as a semi-whole backed you
all the way. Despite verbal grumbling among students about ineptness and
lack of originality in routines, the pep staff enthusiastically did their
job and retained an amount of sang froid in front of cheering and
non-cheering crowds alike. The girls, M.J. Carter, Darlene Breijak, B.J.
Russell and Cheryl Engel worked hard afternoons to put together their
routines. Wind, sleet, rain, hail, etc., there they were, even if they
didn't stack up next to the Rockettes. Pep apathy is a two-sided blade
any way you look at it, and when crowds began improving during basketball
season, so did the staff and its routines. After all, cheer-leaders have
to have enthusiastic bodies to cheer with it.

bus stop "What a bunch of screwed-up people!" was the general reaction to
William Inge's play Bus Stop. Director Don Adams and assistant Jackie
Watson spent four weeks directing the racy drama on sex morals and
marriage. The action moved around Bo Decker and Cherie (Wade Nash, B.J.
Manion), who are involved in the constant question "If we.. , do we have
to. . ?" Typically, Cherie came up with the most remembered line of the
play "That doesn't mean we have to get married." Kathie Balough as Grace
and Jim Seiber as the bus driver also became involved, under the watchful
eyes of Elma the waitress (Jane Sigmund). Bill Savage played Dr. Lyman,
the incompatible intel-lgctual; Frank Jenkins as Bo's side-kick Virgil;
and finally the entire group was controlled by soft-spoken, clean-livin'
Sher-iff Will, Kent Edmonds. An outstanding variety of characters,
subtle and not-so-subtle humor, and excel-lent performances by the cast led
to a run of successful dramatic fall evenings. The rollicking banter and
pandering between characters ended only when the bus drove off into the
sunset and Sheriff Will was left to bring order back to Grace's Cafe.

world university service In a flash of glory the Klipsun entry in WUS's
second annual Turtle Race sped across the finish line and set the stage for
this year's World University Week. Lord of the Flies, Our Hero, set a
record of 1:42 flat, outstanding for a turtle of his intelli-gence.
Activities included a hootenanny, auction in the coffee shop, Univac's
dating service, soap box derby, Casino Night and a mixer. Gambling seemed
to be the key to the whole event, and students cheerfully emp-tied their
pockets all week for the cause. There were rumors that the tables were
rigged at Casino Night, but these have yet to be substantiated. WUS Week
gained a higher goal than previously attained, taking in over 2,000
dollars. Money is sent to WUS headquar-ters in Switzerland, where it is
distributed to various colleges and universities through-out the world.

Although the Concert-Lecture Committee and Program Council work diligently
to fill vacant evenings on campus, the ma-jority of musical entertainment
at Western comes from students themselves. If not in- volved in the
Bellingham Chamber Music Society or numerous performing groups stemming
from the Music Dept., students give recitals and organize special
concerts. Noted among these are the Student Compo-sition Concert and Jazz
Concerts, which often move from the environs of the depart-ment to the

----------
Last year awareness of Viet Nam was little more than the blunderings of
Bellingham Police and muffled protests by a dissatisfied few. This year
the question took on new dimen-sions as the draft board began pulling
strings and fifth-year seniors began dis-appearing from the scene. The big
campus joke was about the prof who gave "V's" instead of "F's"-V for Viet
Nam. We cannot paraphrase the attitude of an entire student body drifting
in a haven of keg parties, cram sessions and coffee shop gab. Some,
reacting to the loss of human life, the dynamics of the Communist threat
and the challenge to The American Way of Life, supported the national
stand. Others responded differently to forces pounding at their shaken
principles and consciences. For all this, however, there was little active
consequence here at the Western front. At a time when the Viet Nam Day
Committee at Berkeley is regularly bombed, and young radicals insist on
publicly burning their bodies in front of the White House, Western
remained in a state of what is best called interrupted sleep-unclear as to
her own foundations on the matter and uneasy about incidents of
demonstration in her American college peers. western and the war Perhaps
the success of blood drives, speak-ers and organized demonstration may be
described as quiet apology by a reticent student body. 1966 might even be
seen as a year marking the point of departure dis- tinguishing friends
from each other, relating this generation to those that have passed the
same point from earliest Man.

gallery presents faculty art Art on campus was unusually high in
quantity, occurence and quality. Two ma-jor exhibits and a number of
smaller out-side programs appeared to brighten the artistic side of life
at Western. Probably the most significant was the faculty
endeavor-highlighted by a number of unique and well-executed samples of
mo-dern steel sculpture, as well as equally fine paintings, drawings and
prints. Two modernistic sculptures, Lawrence Hanson's Tricycle, and
Walter Wagner's Prophet III were among the most interesting. The variety
of the show and obvious tal-ent represented show promise for growth in
the repute of Western's art faculty and students.

judy henske flies high It wasn't a large crowd that greeted Judy Henske
when she made her appearance on January 31st in the auditorium, but it
was wildly enthusiastic and hypnotically hysterical right up until the end
of her repetoire, when she left her audience screaming for more. She came
on wearing stretch denims and a Western blue-and-white polka-dotted blouse
and said appropriately, "Hiya, Vikings!" Her figure carved a straight line
from her heels to her head and she stomped, pranced and bobbed about the
stage like a Raggedy-Ann doll for nearly two hours. When she wears high
heels, she has been known to kick a hole through a stage floor. She often
requests a six-inch rug padding beneath her so she can safely tap time to
her guitar. Henske has a rapsy blues voice, reviving the popular ballads
with a personal flavor drawn from her own particular mood. When she croons
"Let the good times roll", she doesn't sound like a cheerleader at a pep
rally; she pleads for life through the lungs of a neglected lover. Then
she portrays another kind of lover through her version of "Empty Bed
Blues." Her inserted anecdotes are supposedly spontaneous, unrehearsed and
unknown even to her until the time she utters them, and besides being
rip-roaringly funny they give the setting for a song that often cinches its
success. An example is her prohibition-era round, "Hooka-tooka, Soda
Cracker." She con-cluded her performance with the most vitality-packed yet
earthily sweet version of "Danny Boy" that has ever been performed. Those
who know would probably call it "soul."

Imaginative set construction, striking lighting effects and a superb

O'Neill's The Hairy Ape. Jim Olsen, an actor borrowed from a local radio
station, filled the part of the lost man in this play about a man who
wishes to belong but cannot. The coal-shoveling "ape" is constantly
frustrated by his inability to find a pigeonhole in life. The play was
directed by Byron Sigler and Thomas Napie-cinski.

Les Grandes Ballets Canadiens is noted as one of the best, if not the

1959, this brilliant Canadian company has been aiming for the top. From a

travelling with its own orchestra. Heading the company is a group of young
talented dancers internationally acclaimed for their "vitality, verve and
clean cut technique as well as dramatic power." The tour was made possible

Merce Cunningham and company in an evening of avante garde. merce
cunningham dance troupe The Merce Cunningham troupe from New York may
have proven too much for the untested sophistication of Western's
cultur-ed set, to the extent of losing half the audience in the first
half hour. One could possibly equate the reaction to a 1914 audience
witnessing Stravinsky's Rite of Spring initially. The observer cannot be
sure whether he is subjected to unmitigated garbage or the coming thing in
serious art, a la avante garde. The performance left its audience
befud-dled, but questioning itself. Perhaps that is more the purpose of
the institution than ready acceptance of a strange new means of
expression. John Cage, noted composer and Zen-Buddhist is the man
responsible for audio portions of the show.

evco champs An 1-record and an Evergreen Confer-ence championship brought
Viking Coach Chuck Randall the National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics "Coach of the Year" honors in District One. Randall's pre-season
predictions had the Vikings gaining the number one spot in the Evergreen
Conference. He claimed that a rugged defense would snare the title for
the Hillmen. The optimistic mentor, however, had to wait until the final
buzzer to prove his theories. In the season finale the Evco front-runners,
Western and Central, put their 9-2 records on the line, but Western, with
a 75-52 runaway, made the big Centralites take a giant step backward.
The win gave the Westernites the advan- tage of holding the NAIA District
One playoffs in the Sam Cerver Gymnasium. The advantage, however, was not
enough as the revengeful Wildcats clawed down the Viks 64-53 and 74-63 to
win the best-of- three series and earn a trip to Kansas City, Mo. for the
NAIA national tournament.

teams as the University of Washington, Oregon State University, and the
University of Oregon; and the Uni-versity of British Columbia. LeProtti's
grasp this season was a 1-3-1 record. The sole win came the following week
when the Blue and White crunched the Vancouver Blue Bombers by a 21-6

foreign students few but diverse ... Western's population of foreign
students is quite diversified in ethnic background, if not numerous.
Students from Africa, Europe and the Far East are the source of this
diversity. Many admitted experiencing considerable trouble adjusting to
the campus routine and non- routine, but added that they had expected this
problem and the change in atmosphere is, if little else, a stimulat-ing
change. Most of Western's foreign students seem to feel that the academic
situation here was better than expected and nearly all have been pleased
with classes and attitudes of professors. Most have found close friends
among the student body before the first week of fall quarter. There have
not been a great deal of programs for the foreign students here, largely
because of their limited number. As a result the "People to People"
program was abandoned this year, but hopes to regroup next year with
additional students added to Western's foreign population.

weeks, along with Dick Araway, Bob Helgoe, John Reeves, and Don Des-
Jarden. The latter have all gone on to grad school. The contests began
slowly, but by the final match the audience was avidly in-volved. Because
this may have been an "off-season" with no chance at the NYC trip an
all-college team was not picked for later competition. All considered,
this year's turn out was an admixture of intelligence and good-hu-mored
bungling, with high praise to all-especially the moderators.

controvery to New York and Off-Broadway. The troupe at-tempts to "keep the
search open for better ways of making the theater, in content and style, a
living radical force." The show itself used the theme of the old
Southern Minstrel Show, beginning with typical song and dance routines
complete with banjo and spiritual. The tone changes quickly by associating
vulgarities with this image, attempting to make the audience abandon the
old image for a new one of the socially and down-trodden negro of today.
Included were a number of humerous, sometimes bitter, and always satirical
sketches on the American negro. Important was the idea of lack of

Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, Dartmouth - language and the nature of man
"Language is at the very root of man's nature; it is the core of his
creativity and the cement of his societies. Revolutions, whether between
local factions or different generations within a society or international
in character, are the result of break-downs in communication. Today there
is evidence everywhere of breakdowns in human understanding in an
atmosphere of national and international social decay. And because of the
pressures of both population and atomic explosions, the need to
understand is greater than ever before." Thoughts of this nature inspired
Western's Extension Services to introduce dynamic new program called the
Language Symposium. Some of the world's top linguists were brought to
campus and were heard presenting their reasons as to why the study of
language and communications is perhaps the most important study that man
can undertake. Although the program drew its major audience from the
English department and students, the lectures proved to be enlightening
for many students and were well received by the school. The Symposium
commenced on April 4th with Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, a German-born scholar
who has mastered nearly all of the major academic subjects. His
presentation was entitled "The Lingo of Linguistics," and in it Rosenstock-
Huessy related his present efforts to set up work camps in the United
States and Germany under the Rosenstock-Huessy Society. He was followed
four days later by Professor S.I.Hayakawa of San Francisco State College,
who talked about "Semantic Barriers to International Communica-tions." It
was unfortunate that the San Francisco Mime Troup was on campus the same
evening, because Hayakawa holds a reputation as one of the world's finest
scholars of linguistics. Many who missed his lecture attended his informal
panel discussion on the following day. The rest of the Symposium included
Sol Saporta, a favorable blend of Psychology scholar and professor of
Romance Languages, and Melville Jacobs, professor of Anthropology at the
University of Washington. 105

... glenn yarbrough One of the most traveled performers in the United
States, Glenn Yarbrough came to Western this spring on a leg of a tour
covering 60 colleges and universities. A singer with an adventurous
history, Yarbrough brought with him a knowledge of music popular with the
American college student. He began his road toward fame with the
Limelighters, popular for their commercial renditions of-unique folk
music. Yarbrough went on to greater limelight as a single entertainer.
Interestingly, he has nearly completed a doctorate in Philosophy, although
interrupting it several times to continue singing. Glenn Yarbrough is a
favorite at Western and his show did nothing to lower general enthusiasm.

Viking pitcher Harlan Buitenveld, a transfer from Columbia Basin College,
heads for first after hitting a grounder into left field. The hit moved a
runner in from third to score for the Viks. Viking baseball coach Chuck
Randall found only eight returning lettermen from which to form a nucleus
for his ball club. Last season Randall won his second straight Evergreen
Con-ference and Pacific Coast titles and went on to place fifth in the
NAIA nationals in Kansas City. High on the list of returnees were All
American centerfielder Jack Nighbert and hard-hitting Les Galley. Little
Al Russell returned as leadoff hitter for the Viks. Bill Jorgenson, a
transfer from Columbia Basin, ably assisted in the batting ranks. A pair
of transfers, Paul Hallgrimson from Centralia College and Harlan
Buitenveld from Olympic Junior College, and veteran letterman Bill
Fleener handled a majority of the mound chores. viking nine make naia

Golf coach Jim Lounsberry greeted four veteran golfers as he began a
campaign for a fifth con-secutive Evergreen Conference golf title. Back
from the 1965 championship squad were Joe Richer, Gary Buurman, Bill
Jensen and Don Sampson who held down the top four positions. Rounding out
the team for the Vikings were Lawrence Evans, Tom Lloyd and Wayne Foote.
Competition for the golfers included Evco op-ponents and such NCAA foes as
Portland State College, Seattle University and the University of
Washington. 111

Mike Johnson, a 25-year-old junior from Snohomish, practices a vital part
of the tennis game, the serve. The veteran tennis man led the Viking attack
tennis Graduation took a heavy toll on Coach Don Wiseman's 1965 tennis
squad which finished third in the Evergreen Conference tournament. Only
two letterman, j unio r Mark Pearlman and sophomore John Leighton,
return. Mike Johnson, who returned to school after a stint in the
military service, proved to be a big filler for the Viking gap. John-son
played for the Everett Junior College team that won the State championship
in 1960. A pair of non-letter winners, Walt Stubbs and John Tuba, took
over the remaining positions. Sophomore letterman John Leighton swings
for a bord-erline shot during doubles play.

A trio of sophomore school record holders and a fast-moving miler provided
the bulk of the tallies for Coach Stan LeProtti's track and field team.
John Hunt, with a 13 feet 8 inch vault mark, and Dick Perfrement, with
school marks of 46 feet 5 inches in the triple jump and 23 feet 5-1/2
inches in the long jump, returned from last year's squad. Dave Vander
Griend,a sophomore transfer from Washington State University, quickly
put his name in the Western record book when he hurled the javelin 219
feet 9 inches, nine feet better than the old record. Bill Cliff and Rich
Tucker scored vic-tories consistently in the mile and quarter mile runs
respectively. Charlie Washburn and Jim Wong, both transfers, teamed with
Al Divina and Tim O'Conner to provide ample strength in the weight
events. Despite a number of talented athletes, a lack of sufficient depth
hindered the Viks throughout the season. track Tim O'Conner heaves the
shot for points against Whitworth College and the University of Puget
Sound.

When spring comes to Western more than the birds and the bees are at work
on students. Sitting in after-noon classes becomes semi-unbearable, and
planners arrange schedules wisely enough to hit the beach at 1 p.m.
Spring means the end of skiing and the begin-ning of feminine escapades
venturing on the maniacal toward roasting alive amid the ultra-violets.

To some students the Klipsun is a tradition-al item of college life, to be
browsedthrough once or twice and then stored for future nostalgia. And to
others it may seem a rank waste of ASB funds and of no constructive use
now or ever. But to an editor the Klpsun is a crazy whirl of copy sheets,
rubber cement, proof sheets, contact prints, headaches, bills and
rewrites -and even the nightmare of work-ing through the night before that
last dead-line and watching the Saga bakers arrive with the sunrise!
There are few louder sighs of relief than that of an editor handing the
last book to the last student. This year's effort has been scrambled,
semi-ordered and in a constant frenzy. Staff members have resigned,
disappeared into the anonymity of curricular life, gotten mar-ried and
even flunked out. Yet the miniscule core of a staff of ten remained to
finish the job despite the "wildcat" nature of its man-agement and the
Klipsun exists today as 144 pages of life at Western as it is lived. The
task itself is frustrating enough with an able staff of experienced
people; it is next to desperation with a staff of three. (This must be
the only job on campus that drives the editor to writing his resignation
the fifth week of fall quarter. .. .) The aim of the Klipsun is to build
in ap-proach and size, quality and mood. We have attempted to alter the
book to conform with the changing face and mood of the college, and will
continue to build toward university status. Yet the student body must be
aware that production of its annual is a group effort by necessity and
must have the support and enthusiasm of that body. So enjoy the book-it's
yours. charlene shoemaker editor, 1966 klipsun 144
