The outgoing president and vice-president are Halldor Karason and Bob Dickson. In the vice-presidential race, Fred De Bruler received 289 ballots to edge out Roger Hubbard by a margin of 34 votes.

Competitive Skits Ring Curtain Up For Campus Day Fete; Five Whisker Types Revealed By WW COLLEGIAN BEARD. EDITOR Competitive skits at an all-college assembly will ring up the curtain on 1948's Campus Day, according to latest flashes from the den of Arlene Swanson and Fred DeBruler's diligent crew. The skits, say Roma Still and Jay Lapp, will be the results of the efforts of all organized houses on campus. Residence halls that have reported their desire to participate in this part of Campus Day include, Edens hall, Senior hall, Men's Resi- — : — Photo by Bernie Lepeska College Graduate Is Elected To Office Another WWC graduate captured a number of front page newspaper inches last week. That graduate was Don Eldridge who was elected state president of Junior Chamber of Commerces at their convention in Bellingham last week-end. Roy Nelson, recent graduate has been appointed to the Whatcom county probation office. Nelson is replacing Parker Pratt, also an alumnus. Sansfcad Named To Head IRC Bob Ingersoll, president of the International Relations club, made the announcement Wednesday evening, May 5, that $100 had been set as the amount needed from WWC to support the 1949 Pacific College congress. He emphasized that all the member colleges had been allotted according to size and membership. Officers elected for the coming year are: Gordon Sanstad, president; Howard Anderson, vice-president; Jim Maloney, secretary; and Neil Johnston, treasurer. Last minute arrangements were made for the WSSF rec hour being-held tomorrow evening from 8:30- 11:30 p. m. in the junior high gym. Johnny Whitsell's orchestra will provide the music. It was also decided that the annual IRC picnic would be held Wednesday evening, June 2, at Lakewood. Festival Needs Clear Skies Bellingham B l o s s o m Festival chairmen aren't the only persons anxiously awaiting dispersement of rain laden clouds today. Up on Se-home hill, Barbara Ritchie, chairman of WWC's contribution to the afternoon parade, also is doing her rain-stay-away dance. Miss Ritchie and Robin Hood have worked long hours these past lew days in an endeavor to turn out an entry that will be representative of Bellingham's second largest industry. A group of WWC students worked far into the night Thursday adjusting the floral arrangements that will carry out the central theme "Peace Through Education." Roger Hubbard and Vern Matthews were the engineers that will be standing on the parade alley Friday afternoon and Saturday evening with that "will it work or won't if look eying the mechanization that will spin the flower bedecked globe of the world. Disaster Comes to Underwater Pupils "Murder will out," so the saying goes, but in this case the tell-tale clue will be little slips of paper which tell us whether or not we've been murdering recent tests. Yes, deficiency slips will be circulating about the campus, Monday, May 10. Every quarter at mid-term these brief memorandums on student progress in each class are made available to deserving intelligentsia. To be eligible for one of these coveted awards a student must be doing below average (below C) work. Karason, Pagels Head For ArizonajTo Attend ASB Prexy Meetings There; CWC Boss To Lead Panel Discussion ASB president Halldor Karason and president-elect Gus Pagels left Seattle by plane Thursday morning to attend a conference of ASB presidents at the Arizona state university in Tempe, Arizona. The Pacific Student President association is an organization whose purpose is to improve student government through the exchange of mutual ideas. Special attention will be given by Karason to a method of Finance System Gets Revision In the absence of ASB president Halldor Karason, Bob Dickson presided over the Board of Control meeting, Wednesday evening. May 5. A discussion was carried on regarding the finance committee's report of the new budgeting system. The Board suggested that an emergency clause provision allowing department chairmen to use their own discrepency on emergency matters in excess of their budget be dropped. The Board felt that a contingency fund of from $500-$l,000 to be budgeted to specifically defined, emergency expenditures should be inserted. This was adopted as was a vote of thanks to Jim Sanford and the finance committee. The senior class was granted $25 to defray expenses of its annual picnic, May 21. student finance to correlate newly adopted budgeting systems with other colleges. Also to be discussed will be a student election procedure for smaller colleges which will be conducted by Jim Adamson of CWC. The meeting will be broken down in reference to the size of the college. Pagels and Karason will remain in Arizona throughout the week and return to Bellingham Monday evening. Movie Progresses Another Big Step Toward Completion WWC's fiftieth anniversary movie progressed another step recently when Jack Shallow, of Western Screen advertisers, Inc., appeared on the campus for three days, making interior shots of the college and students. Planned for showing to high school audiences and alumni and civic groups during the coming year, the movie will present a record of the academic activities, the recreation, and the sports of WWC students. The films just completed have been sent to San Francisco for development. Later, after exterior shots have been made, and photographers have accompanied students on scheduled school trips during the summer, the developed films will be sent to Hollywood to be edited. At that time the finished film will be assembled. dence hall, Hospice Inn, and Off- Campus girls. Bewhiskered Jay Lapp will be official master of ceremonies and will ring the bell for the opening round at 9 a. m., May 19. Prizes will be judged on originality, ability, and audience appreciation. Skits will be graded on a 1-2-3 basis. Last year Senior hall swam off with top honors. If all the f oilage now adorning the chins of WWC's male department was placed on the back of a bare bear, said bare bear would not be a bare any longer.

College Is Essential In Mddern World Jefferson said that a wise nation would hunt out its ablest youth and see that they got educated. Unfortunately this nation, as yet, has'not set the wheels of such a hunting vehicle in motion. Most educators agree that a bill partially, subsidizing education for worthy students would be offered in congress in the future. Until such government support is available students graduating from high schools will be left to shift their way .through college according'to their own financial abilities. It is encouraging to see so many high school students, even in their junior year, shopping around for an institution that has the facilities to equipAhem for a life time vocation. It is encouraging that younger students realize the value being stressed of obtaining a college education. That value is being emphasized not only from an individual's economic, political, social, or cultural advantage, but, from an international standpoints .well. An educated America can well serve as a light house of hope for peace loving people every where. On the other hand, a very important attribute to be gained from college life \i a broader and fuller personality. In replies received recently from a questionnaire mailed out to 70 corporations by a Northwestern University placement director, not brains but personality led other demanded qualifications by a wide margin. Campus activities was second on the list and high grades were third.'Your own high schools can well serve as the stepping stones f®r the foundation of a personality that will serve you well in college. Utilize it to its utmost. We hope you have enjoyed your day at Western Washington college. We'hope to see your name on some college's registration book 1'n the near future. An entire new world will open up for you. jSo ye forth, and imbibe. ASB Campaign Commended Campaign managers and candidates for ASB positions in this week's general election are to be commended for their spirited campaigns. Although less than 60 per cent of the student body were willing to participate in the election this lack of interest c$n not be attributed in any way to the candidates themselves.*The college year 1948-49 will be an eventful one. May you continue to merit the mandate of WWC students through* honorable service. Regard the trust of the voters as you would have your own trust regarded. And then there is always the unsavory element putting its hand into the political pie. To that element goes a very hearty condemnation. Tile persons that'engaged in the childish exhibition of turning one vice-president's "hot air" campaign loose Tuesday evening must have put an extra hardship on their deficient makeup to think of an idea so colossal as that. Thank heaven such characters are in the minority. And thank heaven that it was a minority that took it upon its shoulders to protect and shelter our natural "immoral" minds from the f Yces of evil .lurking in another vice-president's campaign poster **At present, according to all propaganda that goes-out= in our-mail bag, we are a liberal arts college.

Perturbed Maestro Denounces Casual Use of Jazz Terms; Declares New Era Is Here By DICK SANDERS Just ambling around the campus, I have heard several students using the term "Bebop," just as casually as they do Communism or a myriad of other familiar terms, without having an inkling of its true meaning. I have heard the term "Bebop" used to describe anything from Glenn Miller to Stravinsky; just as one hears the term Communism applied to everything unconventional in politics. Like Communism, "Bebop" has a definite meaning or at least a limited scope of meaning and should be used only by individuals who have an idea of what that scope is. I thirik the most common misuse of the word is in using it as synonymous with "jazz." "Bebop" is a particular style of jazz. Just as there is New Orleans jazz, Chicago jazz^ 52nd street jazz — there is also "Bebop." Like any other type of music, "Bebop" did not start over night. It seems that for years jazz musicians all over the world have been building melodies spontaneously on certain chord progressions which they either wrote themselves or borrowed from songs already written. You can see how after 40 or 50 years of this their music could easily grow stale. After several thousand musicians give "Body and Soul" a going over it is bound to become uninteresting.. if not to the listener, as least to the musician. Another factor is that of distinction. No one could surpass the superb solos delivered by the masters of the older jazz styles such as Coleman Hawkins, Billy Butterfield, Benny Goodman and others. Therefore, in prder to gain the necessary distinction, something new had to be added. That something new took three forms which can best be explained by referring to the chief exponents of those styles: Stan Kenton (progressive jazz), Boyd Raburn (style as.yet unnamed), and Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie ("Bebop"). "Bebop" is the newest of the three and is, I think, destined to stay the longest. It has overwhelming possibilities as far as the creation of melodies is concerned, for it is not limited by chords; rather is built on scales thus affording many more notes to work with. It has achieved a versality never before dreamed of by the elimination of tonal and rhythmic tendancies. Yes "Bebop" is truly the jazz of the future. It may seem a little rough and untrained now, but that is the way of all things in their youth. Let us not kill "Bebop" before it matures, lest we never know the pleasure it will bring in the future. Campus Personalities I'm Jim Beasley' By HARRY PAGELS Ran into someone the other day, and, of course, I apologized—he was slightly taller than I. "I'm Jim Beasley," he said. "Not Jim Beasley the popular president of the sophomore class!" I cried. He allowed a friendfy smile to part his lips and dazzle before my eyes two rows of pearly teeth. "Yep. I was born in the vicinity of Sedro-Woolley." Aha! I had finally uncovered a native Sedro- Woolian, and quickly followed up my advantage. "So what?" "So I went all through high school there and held many positions of honor." Fascinating! "I was president of the Honor Society, and one of the top ten for scholarly achievement. I was editor of the school paper, a three year letterman in baseball and made the all-Northwest team. I was also a one year letterman in basketball." Jim, naturally, has continued to develop his talents since leaving Sedro-Woolley h i g h — he's going steady. Engaging in all intramural sports is his favorite pastime. (I thought he was going steady?) Anyway, he was a very capable assistant sports editor for the WWCollegian a couple quarters back, but had to give it up in order to get in some teaching requirements. He plans to student teach next spring. Jim, age 20, blonde, blue eyes, six feet tall on tip-toes, weighing 140 lbs., has a warm, congenial personality and is well-liked by all.

By BARBARA BREAZEALE "New York has opened up a whole new vista of wonders," writes Bob Moblo, fall quarter graduate, who is now attending Columbia. Bob and his wife, Charlotte, also a former student at WWC, and his small son are "now camped on the banks of the Hudson about 60 minutes from New York." Bad weather and a bus strike have, slowed up their sight-seeing tours, but they have seen "Oklahoma," Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park, and the Great White Way. "These extra-curricular activities," confides Bob, the former pep band leader, "add a little spice to the dull routine of study." On the other hand, "Columbia TC should be one of the wonders of the world," he believes. "Such interesting lecturers as Mursell and Counts alone could make it so, for I am ' thrilled with the brilliance of these professors." Charlotte proudly added that "Bob had two A minuses in his mid-semesters.'' "I don't think there is any place like New York nor anyone like New Yorkers," wrote Charlotte. "No one seems happy." In her opinion everyone is trying to make himself seem important and she keeps wanting to preach "go west, young man." "We just keep assuring ourselves that we'll come back," concludes Charlotte, "and leave New York to those who chose to be romantic about her—I can't be!"

CWC Sports Held May 22 Central Washington College Division of Health and Physical Education is sponsoring a women's Individual Sports day on Saturday, May 22, at Ellensburg. According to a letter received by Miss Margaret Aitken, women's PK instructor, plans are well under way and a good time is promised to all who participate. Miss Aitken stated that, as yet, the list of Western students who will attend is not available. The Sports day will consist of a series of tournaments in archery, badminton, and tennis. Three colleges, so far, have made known their intentions of attending the meet. Latest: For Lounging Off-Campus Girls General chairman June Danielson has had her hands full this week making plans for the hike and picnic next Friday. Assisting her are the other committee chairmen: Leslie Case, Bonnie Hayes, Joyce Ruthruff, Rosemary Provost, Lauralie German, and June Hardin. Price of the tickets for the picnic is only fifty cents, so keep this date open . . . Our congratulations are certainly due to Norma Jean Swan, Western's prominent violinist, who placed second in the Blossom Time Festival queen contest Monday night. Being princess has certainly kept her busy this week . . ; Have you noticed Doris Pauls', lone Johnson's and Yvonne West's recent new look? They seem to have been caught by the spring fever bug—judging by their short hair, anyway . . . Pat Bornstein and Ruby Johnson are in charge of arrangements for our part in the Campus Day skits. If you would like to take part in the skit, let one of these girls know . . . If any of you off-campus women have news that you would like to see printed in the column, leave a note on the bulletin board in the Collegian office before noon on Tuesdays. College Inn College Inn was back to its usual noisy self Sunday evening when Ruth Anttonen; Laura Ford, and Helen Johnson returned from their wonderful weekend in Longview. Those Longview fella's are really nice and we hear that Laura has a good looking brother too. Maggie Olds entertained Joyce Steadman who was visiting from Edmonds. We were sorry that all of us were not able to meet her, but we hope that she will visit College Inn again when everyone is here. We are all happy to see that Shirley Hamer finally finished embroidering her table cloth. Now maybe she will get some studying done. For the next five weeks Margaret Symonds will be back on what she calls a "diet." Cokes and candy bars! We are* glad to see so many fellows participating in the beard contest, and we hope Campus Day will be a great success. An attractive housecoat for warm summer mornings is modeled above. It is in pale pink dotted swiss (the dots are white) with a small collar of eyelet cotton, string-tied in black, and has a dirndle skirt so voluminous that it actually flows away in soft folds from the narrow buckled belt. CLUB NOTES Blue Triangle Club served tea from 2:30 to 3:30 yesterday in the AWS room. Donations received at the tea were for the World Student Service Fund drive which the club is sponsoring. Chairman for the affair was Lora Stocking. Students and faculty members crowded into room 4 last Tuesday for the Colheconomlsts waffle-supper. Profits exceeded all expectations according to general chairman Lauralee German and ticket sales head Patricia Boysen. Proceeds go to the World Student Service Fund. A picnic is planned for the end of May to be held at Gooseberry Point. This is for all Colheconomist Club members.

Danielson Plans World Student Service Fund Campaign Klipsun Candidate In Queen Pageant Selected Princess Norma Jean Swan captured princess honors in the Blossom Time Festival pageant held last Monday night in the Bellingham high school. Sponsored by the Klipsun staff, Norma will attend queen Ann EWot with princess Josephine Veraetti. Sharing the spotlight in the festival, Norma will accompany the queen in the parade this afternoon, riding on the gold and silver float. She will appear again in the illuminated parade Saturday evening, when the queen's float will be lighted. The five judges made their selections after the girls appeared in two formal gowns, a bathing suit and after each had displayed her special talent. Norma, well known as a violinist at WWC and Bellingham, plans to use her $100 scholarship to continue her work in musical fields. Last year's queen, Bernice Chat-tertdn, a student of WWC, won a plane trip to Hollywood accompanied by her two princesses. Hike, Picnic Friday, May 14, the Off-Campus Women will hold a picnic supper at Lakewood. Transportation will be in the form of hiking and bicycling, but a few cars will also be taken.

Ended By Western's Clubs Tomorrow By PAT DODD WWC's campaign for World Student Service funds enters its final stages today, Saturday being the official end of the drive. Solicitations and contributions must be in the Business office by Tuesday, according to campaign treasurer Beverlee Burnaby. Representatives in each organized house are urged by chairman Margaret Lutro to check the WSSF poster in the main hall to make sure their brick is filled. Among final events scheduled for Friday and Saturday is a Valkyrie donut sale today in the main hall with Barbara Mclnnes in charge. IRC's recreation hour tomorrow night, will mark the end of the drive. Other activities held earlier this week included a Canterbury club pop corn party Sunday headed by Marjorie Gray, and a tea Thursday afternoon sponsored by Blue Triangle with Doris Hoag in charge. Thursday night WRA played host at a mixed recreation hour. Janis Davis and Barbara Howe were co-chairmen. Over 100 tickets were sold for the Colheconomist Tuesday night waffle dinner according to ticket chairman Patricia Boysen.

From all around the Northwest stellar ski runners will head for Mount Rainier, and the tenth running of the Silver Skis. Harassed by one of the roughest spring storms of recent years the run was postponed from its original April 10- 11 dates to this week-end. And all concerned—racers and officials and first-aid crews—are confident that this time the boys can make the long ascent and exceedingly difficult descent to and from Camp Muir in ideal weather. The word comes down from Paradise Valley, base of operations: "Typical fast but tricky spring snow conditions will probably ensue for the Silver Skis on Saturday. It will be just a question of the racers waxing properly. The old mountain hands look 'for bright sunshine on Silver Skis Day." • Yes, he is just the man who came to dinner. Neil "Skip" Stanley, University of Washington backfield coach, is going to Toledo. He came to Washington with Head Coach Howie Odell. Last week he said he received an offer from Toledo university that was' simply too good to pass. Stahley informed Harvey Cas-sill, U. W. director of athletics, and officials at Toledo he will accept the offer from the small Ohio school to take over as head coach. Stahley, head coach at George Washington university in Washington, D. C, for the past two football seasons will remain with the Huskies until the completion of spring football practice on May 15. The present rowing season is rapidly developing into the greatest the country has known. According to the coaches themselves, there are at least eight varsity crews so evenly matched that none is an outstanding favorite in any given race. This foreshadows the grandest race the Poughkeepsie regatta has ever staged. It also indicates a battle royal for the right to represent Uncle Sam in the Olympics.. One of the pioneers of athletics in the Northwest and one of the best basketball and football referees on the Pacific Coast is signed to speak at the Spring Sports Banquet on May 25. Bobby Morris is now the King county auditor. But before this job he was one of the big men in the bush league. The 'banquet will honor all the spring sports of the college. But the main and the best thing of all—the whole squads will be invited to attend. The spotlight of the evening will fall, besides on Morris, on the inspirational award for basketball to be given to the inspirational player by Coach Bill McDonald. The reportedly sumptuous dinner will begin at six-thirty in the Edens hall dining room. About one hundred are expected to attend.

Yanks, Hospice and Daniels Tied For First in Fast-ball Daniels had an easy win over the Forty-Fivers, April 27, by a wide margin of 17 to 1. Daniels over-powered their opponents in every phase of the game. In the first inning six runs were scored by the Daniels boys. They then finished the game by bringing in seven more runs in the sixth. Salsgiver led the batting .attack for the Daniels team with four hits out of four ups. Yanks squeezed out a 4 to 0 decision over the Homicide Squad. Most of their runs were made in the first three innings, with a slight rally in the seventh. C. Simmons who was on the mound for the Yanks pitched one of his best games of the year. Simmons allowed no walks and very few hits. The Yank infield made a good showing when they made four double plays. Two big games scheduled for Wednesday, May 28, were postponed. The games will be played today. The teams are: Mathes vs. Blasters and Lost Ten vs. Sehome. New Squad Signed A new team has been entered into the league; the Lost Ten's to replace the cellar-dwelling Forty-Fivers. April 2, the Homicide Squad defeated Hospice 9 to 1. Homicide team tallied Tour times in the third inning, and five times in the fourth. Beasley, Smith, and Borden were good for two runs each. Daniels Still Good Daniels added another victory to their standing when they de-' feated the Yanks 5 to 2. Hardhitting Breviek connected with one for a home run early in the fourth inning. Yonlick's pitching was fairly consistent giving up only 5 hits. Hall and Simmons scored the Yanks only two runs. Again Daniels came through with-a decisive 11 to 2 win over Sehome, May 3. T h a t same, day Hospice downed Mathes to the tune of 12 to 10. Borden scored three runs and Smith, second base, scored two runs for Hospice.

How can I tell? There isn't another bus like ours in the Evergreen league. Athletes who have to make 200 mile treks in order to play ball should at least have some comfort. The present Viking bus travels on an average of 25-30 miles per hour on the highway; other buses have a conventional drive that can bring this average up to at least 50. Our present bus has no means for storage; therefore the aisles are continually cluttered wtih spare tires and athletic equipment. For somewhere between $2,000- $4,000 the athletic department can pick up a used bus that could put ours to shame. Senior Life Savers, Now Is Your Chance During the week of May 17-21, a Red Cross swimming course will be offered to anyone having passed Senior Life Saving, who wishes to enroll. Upon completion of the course, the graduate receives his Water-Safety instructor's certificate. Richard Evans of San Francisco, swimming instructor for the Pacific area of the American Red Cross, will teach the course. Three-hour classes will be held each evening Monday through Friday, in the college pool. STATIONERY - PRINTING "The Union Has It" . UNION PRINTING CO. 1421 Cornwall Phone 1264 Vikings In Tri Meet; Saints Lutes Coming Vik cinder fans will get their first chance of the season to see their boys in action tomorrow afternoon against the Pacific Lutheran and St. Martin thinclads on the hilltop track! The meet should prove to be a very close contest between the Lute and Vik tracksters and will be well worth seeing. A few events which will prove to be well worth seeing, are Hopkins in the 880 and mile, Kent in the hurdles, Russell in the javelin, and Brooks-in the two-mile. By taking home a total of 52 2/3 points, Central Washington college edged out College of Puget Sound last Saturday to win the second annual St. Martin's relays held in Olympia. Puget Sound took a close second with 51 5/6 points while Pacific Lutheran netted 35 and the Vikings 24 Mi. Big point gainer for Coach McDonald's thinclads was Bob Hopkins, first place winner in the 880 and the mile runs. Not only did Bob take the two first places, but in doing so, broke the previous records for both. His time for the 880 was 2:01 while the mile hit :38.6. Next in line for Vik honors was Jim Kent, second place winner in both low and high hurdles. Kent has been looking steadily better as the season carries on, and will no doubt be taking first place honors shortly if his gain continues. Points taken by the teams participating were as follows: Mile: Hopkins (WWC) f i r s t; Hoeger (CWC) second; Baker (CWC) third; W y g o a r d (PLC) fourth. Time, 4:38.6. 440-yard relay: (WWC); (CWC); (St. M); (OCE). 440-yard dash: Schafer (PLC) first; Mason (PLC) second; Fabu-lich (CPS) third; Prater (CWC) fourth.

My platform In 250 words would be a waste of words and paper. I am an average member of the student body, having the same likes and dislikes as you. My ideas and beliefs, like yours, are for more student representation. Not by a favored clique, or a strong minority, but a democratic representation by and for the student body as a whole. I have one promise to make in the event that I am elected to the office of Student Body President: "I promise to do my best, in doing right." I welcome your support, but it is your duty to vote for the one whom you believe will best fill the position. You have two other candidates to choose from, Gus and Bob. They are personal friends of yours and mine. Both fully competent to fill this position with credit to themselves and the student body. The main thing, is vote. Let the person who is elected know that, he was chosen by the student body as a whole and not by a majority of a small fraction of the eligible voters. Withdrawals Bob Bain has been named to replace Jerry Karnofski on the ASB presidential ballot, according to election officials. Karnofski's withdrawal automatically moved the next highest vote getter in the primary-election onto the general election ballot. The withdrawal of Gordon San-stad from the vice-presidential race leaves Roger Hubbard and Fred De- Bruler as the only contestants whose names will be entered in that field. Unselfish Objectives Designed for All Aim of R. Hubbard ROGER HUBBARD Vice-President Candidate I feel honored to be chosen as a candidate to represent the students for the position of vice-president. My aims in running for the position of Associated Student Body Vice-President are to protect students right and to fulfill their desires. I have entered this campaign with an open mind and will be more than willing to support those objectives which aTe unselfishly designed for the students good. I am ready to cooperate to make this a better college for our education. I believe s t u d e n t government should reflect faithful and accurate- Larger Enrollment, Diversified Vocations, Increased Status, Will Contribute Responsibilities To Student Government BOB BAIN ASB Presidential Candidate The past year has been one of great change and expansion in our college. The next year will see our Associated Student body faced with continued new problems such as an expanding campus, an increasing enrollment, a more diversified interest in vocations, and a more important position to be maintained among the colleges and the universities of the Pacific States. The ASB will need to assume an increasing responsibility for and control of the ever-growing activities which in the past have made Western Washington the friendly, democratic college of the Pacific Northwest. This means continued able leadership and strong student body cooperation. We all know the President's job is one which requires faithful attention to many details, experience in coordinating work and people, and a maturity which will allow him to use the maximum degree of leadership. If you thing that I am the person for that job, I will be deeply grateful for your support at Wednesday's general election, and will do my best to serve you well. Cooperation Without Coercion Aimed At by R. DeBruler FRED DeBRULER Vice-President Candidate I am supposed to write two-hundred words describing my platform, and why you should vote for me. To be perfectly frank, I don't know ly the sentiments of the body it represents. So I say, "When you go to the polls please vote for the candidate who you know will handle your interest." how to use these two hundred words. As a platform, I believe in cooperation without coercion, w i th whatever interests I feel to be right. Coperation, especially with my fellow student officers, can help bring about many of the things for which we all are striving. ..What these things are, you know as well as I, so there is no need to mention them here. • In the words of all election condi-dates, "If elected, I will perform my duties to the best of my ability." May I urge you to remember the fine editorial in last week's issue of The Collegian, concerning the recent election at CWC. Remember it, "Go ye and do likewise." Pagels Promises To Continue Student Government Here GUS PAGELS ASB Presidential Candidate First, I'd like to say that I'm grateful and honored to be nominated as a candidate for the AJS.B. presidency and to express my thanks to those who feel I can do the job despite the fact that IVe had little experience in school government. In any case, no matter who is elected, filling Halldor Karason's shoes will be a tough job. My program, if elected, will be to try to keep up the excellent work he has done, follow as closely as possible the new budget system which has been so carefully worked out by this year's Board of Control, and to continue the present drive toward expansion of student recreational facilities. The objectives may sound general rather than specific. They are. The only really specific c a m p a i gn promise I can give is that I will at all times try to keep fully informed of all developments and to always govern my actions by what I sincerely believe to be for the best interests of the student body. I don't yet pretend to know all the intricacies of student government, and to make specific promises other than to assure hard, conscientious work would be foolish. The office of ASB President and Chairman of the Board calls for a careful, broad-minded weighing of all views, and entails a responsibility, in fact, for seeing that all sides of any particular question are brought forth and fairly discussed. Then he and the other Board members must have the courage to support what each believes to be in the best interests of the student body. Sometimes the procedure of looking at all sides of a question is referred to as "red tape." More often it is called Democracy. A democratic government is often accused of moving slowly, but things do get accomplished. My platform is to continue the democratic student government we have. o Father: "What's this I hear about your making advances to my daughter?" Suitor: "Well, now that you mention it, sir, I would appreciate it if you paid me back." "Vote Wednesday And Gloat on Thursday"—Karason HALLDOR KARASON ASB President In this election you will choose four people to be your representatives on the Board of Control. The four people whom you choose will constitute fifty per cent of the total number of the student repre-s sentatives on the Board of Control for next year. That alone makes the Spring Quarter elections the most important of the year. This year, however, the elections are particularly important. WWCE will be celebrating its 50th anniversary during the school year 1948-1949 and the people who are chosen in this election win have an important part to play in leading the student participation in the anniversary celebration. The candidates for the various offices are all able people. The fact that they have been selected by you gives evidence of that. They are willing to give their time and effort to representing you in your student government. I urge you to give them your support at the polls. A candidate was never elected by his supporters staying away from the polls. VOTE ON WEDNESDAY AND GLOAT ON THURSDAY! — 0 — • And.then there was the veteran at college whose shoe soles were so thin that he could step on a dime and tell whether it was heads or tails. ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 May 5 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Wednesday, May 5,1948 SOMETHING TO CROW ABOUT You Don't Wave to be of Age Why Wait, Tomorrow Will be Late PULL THE LEVERS TODAY! GIVE BIRTH TO A A FREE DEMOCRATIC ELECTION NEW GOVERNING BODY TODAY it-Quarter Woman Candidates "My Best Foot Student Voice Forward . . ." Is Desirable PHYLLIS ARMSTRONG Board of Control Candidate Tomorrow you go to the polls. You as an individual will have a large job ahead of you in that your votes will elect members to the Board of Control. They will be the governing body for this coining year at college. Make a careful and considerate choice—your vote can elect or keep out competent wide-awake officers. In running for the position of four quarter^woman, I will not make any campaign promises. Campaign promises tlAt will only be broken, carry very liltle weight with the majority of the students. It is indeed a real honor to even be allowed jto run in the general elections, arid, if elected to the position of the Board of Control will put my best :oot forward in working as hard as possible for the betterment of student government. Greatest Good For Majority PAULINE ROSER Board of Control Candidate To be a member of the Board of Control is a very great honor and I am extremely grateful to be nominated for tlie position of four-quarter woman. * If I am to be your choice, in all LOLA SAMUELSON Board of Control Candidate I believe that education is a valuable and powerful force, and that siince there can be no education without students, a clear expression of their needs, desires, and opinions is vital to the success of any school. One of the functions of our governing body, the Board of Control, is the translation of student opinions into practical action which is satisfactory to the majority. The heaviest responsibility falls on the president, of course, but he should receive a great deal of assistance from other capable and interested board members, who act in an advisory capacity. Members of any controlling body must remember that they are only individuals chosen to represent many, and that their personal attitudes must reflect so far as possible the opinions of those who elected them. I would consider it a privilege to serve as student representative at WWC, and would do my best to give intelligent, enthusiastic service. good faith and sincerity, I shall put forth my best efforts to represent all of you. The college has always had a high rating among the other colleges of education and I would like to see it continue representing the greatest good for the greatest number of people whether students, faculty, or neighbors.

A few weeks ago a nation that once believed in a totalatarian form of government turned out 90 per cent of its voters in a democratic election. Today it is doubtful if WWC will have over 50 per cent of the students vote because of a "what's the use attitude." To feel that your vote won't matter much anyway is to violate the fundamentals that democracies are built upon. Every vote cast in the general election today drives our wedge of student government a little more securely into place. THE ONLY WAY TO WASTE A VOTE IS TO NOT USE IT! LAUGH . . . As a rule this column shies away from humorous stories; however it seems to me that the following one beors repeating, (My apologies to Cedric Adams of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune): A housewife answered the doorbell to find a little girl of 5 and her younger brother, relatively new at walking, both standing on the step. The little girl was all dolled up in an old formal of her mother's and a grownup hat. Her little brother was wearing one of his father's hats that wobbled on his head and an older brother's coat that hung almost to the walk. "I am Mrs. Smith," said the little girl in a very formal tone, "and this is my husband, Mr. Smith. We've come to calL" The woman who had answered the call decided to play along with the youngsters and their act so she invited "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in for tea. The kids walked in and sat down and the hostess went immediately to the kitchen for some cookies and milk. When she returned the callers were already headed for the front door. "Must you go so soon?" asked the hostess. "I hoped you could stay for tea." The little girl tossed back an artificial smile. "We can't, thank you," she said pleasantly, "Mr. Smith just wet his pants." ^--Quarter Man or Woman Representative Welfare Betterment Voice of Press Of College High Needed on B. C. Student Opinion Should Govern BILL MORTON Board of Control Candidate I believe the persons who are elected to the Board of Control should be the link between the governing body of the school and the wants and needs of the students. Whether this is a duty that is placed upon members of the Board of Control, I do not know, but student opinion should be the factor in controlling student affairs. My platform for membership to the Board of Control is my desire to keep an open mind, and the interests of the student body as a whole in the fore and support those objectives which are unselfishly designed for the student good. Student government is coming to mean more and more to students as time goes by. I would be willing to work hard to see that real student government comes to WWC to stay. The longer you attend this school the fonder you become of it. If any of us can make it a better school to stay at, then we should cooperate with the student leaders regardless of who they may be. To this end I pledge myself. On Harrison's Plan SHIRLEY HARRISON Board of Control Candidate I consider it an honor to have been nominated for the office of Four Quarter Man or Woman. l am interested in the student government and if elected I shall work for the welfare of the students and the betterment of the college. My desire is for all the students to take an active part in this election and cast their vote for the candidate they consider to be most suited. Let's make this one of the biggest elections with the participation of every student. "Jack had tough luck in court this morning." "What happened?" "He was arrested for kissing a woman. The judge took one look at the woman and fined Jack $10 for being drunk." o Coed: "I'm looking forward to my twenty-first birthday." Joe College: "Aren't you facing in the wrong direction?" Letting Off Steam . . . . Dear Editor: In your editorial of last week you seem to emphasize a correlation between the spirit of the student body in voting and the spirit of our football team in only beating Ellens-burg 4 to 0. I will grant the fact that we should be ashamed of ourselves for such a miserable showing at the polls, but you evidently dont know or didn't bother to take the time to find out the spirit that was displayed on last year's football team.

Those guys put out every ounce of energy and spirit they possessed, whether they won 4-0, 41-0 or lost by a field goal. I would suggest you apologize to the football team or come on over next fall and let Lappy do what little he can about fitting you oat for a suit. Then let us know if there is a lack of spirit. HAL PARTLOW. Ed. Note. Reader Partlow emphasizes the fact that editor Matthews put an added emphasis on- the Ellensburg game last fall. If figures don't lie, editor Matthews only used 24 words in a passing mention of that gridiron classic. Reader Part- GEORGE DOWD Board of Control Candidate What in the world is my name doing on the ballot? People have been throwing that question at me for a week now and I have been endeavoring to answer them. In the first place, their guess is as good as mine. In the second place, it's an honor to be a candidate for the Board since handling $25,000 a year is quite a responsibility. I am interested in seeing the power of the press given some voice in the Board meetings and this is one way it can be done. I nave no campaign promises to better the school—it's our fault that it lacks school spirit! I will say that I would and will try to get that spirit going whether I am elected or not. I want to sincerely thank those friends whose interest in this campaign has meant a lot to gt; me. Let's get out and roll up a huge vote that will show the mandate of the student body . . . Vote Today! low seems to be putting the emphasis on the subject with a 200 word letter. The WWCollegian is glad that it finally has written something that EVERYONE didn't agree with. May we continue to serve you. Matthews is sorry that he won't be over to have Lappy "see what little he can do about fitting him but with a suit." Howie Odell has his contract signed for the coming year. But, you can bet your shoulder pads that if the Viks ever play down around the University next year that Matthews will be setting in the bleachers . . . rooting for Western. BUT THAT IS ALL IN THE FUTURE AND IN THE PAST. TODAY THERE IS AN ELECTION. VOTE!PPPPP

Dale Really now, don't you wish that you had taken a dose of our medicine at the start of the quarter When we warned one arid all to take only 12 credit hours during spring quarter. With several cases of spring fever on our hands we can sit back complacently, a nd say . . • you were warned. * * * A c c o r d i n g to an announcement that we didn't receive, Lucille Reiman and Declan Barron have a date at the altar June 11. Should have waited and taken Science 101 from Barron this quarter. Maybe he would have b e e n m o r e understanding. Vern Dale always gets his mental distractions earlier in the season. HEADLINE: DRAKE COEDS MISS THE LAST BUSS BEFORE DARK. Seems that the ' D r a k e University coeds were asked to give up daylight ' kissing on campus. There was mild disapproval over the Dan. One managing editor of the Times- Delphic, s t u d e n t newspaper, managed to sum up the situation with a three line comment: "Breathes there the man with soul so dead Who never to his date has said, Hang the ban and tilt your head." Such a situation might strike us in the puss if Seattle succeeds in forcing the rest of the state into daylight saving time. There doesn't seem to be quite enough time now for some students to keep up with their osculating exercises. But, what do you expect with all those little "Please" signs planted in the lawn staring you in the face. Over at Central Washington college the Campus Crier will be edited by a rotating editorial b o a rd next year. From the looks of some of the dizzy stuff they printed this quarter the new system won't be much change. President Truman asked Democratic congressional leaders to press for passage of federal aid to education at this Congress session. The bill "is bottled up in a House committee,'* (It is in the House labor committee) says Senator Lucas, of Illinois. MEMORIAL DAY: With a three day holiday facing them before the end of the quarter, students are expected to desert WWC en-masse today. * .* * HEADLINE: RIVERS RUN WILD IN B. C; MANY FAMILIES FLEE. Didn't know that we had any student named Rivers. Dahell me . . . Friday, May 28: C o l l e g e closes for three days. Sunday, May 30: Attend the church of your choice. WRA to Sinclair island. Monday, May 31: Memorial day holiday. WRA still at Sinclair. Tuesday, June 1: Classes resume. Closed week-end. Colheconomists picnic at Gooseberry Point. Wednesday, June 2: Day that should be set aside to finish up those term papers. Friday, June 4: Here it is o n l y four days since Uncle Sam payed off and we can't take the gals out cause it is closed weekend. What a shame. Pre-registration Will Relieve Fall Pressure Next Wednesday and Thursday, all students now in school will be given an opportunity to pre-register for fall quarter. The 1948-49 schedule of classes will be available in the registrar's office the first of the week. The entire process will be handled in the junior high school gym. As last year, a five-dollar registration deposit will be collected of all students. This fee is to insure serious intention of those who register" and will be applied to fall quarter fees. It will be returned to veterans when they enroll in the fall. Students are to come to the junior high gym during free hours only oh Wednesday and Thursday, since no classes will be excused. The deposit will be collected there rather than in the Business office, so that the whole process can be completed during a study hour. Department advisers will be on hand as far as their class schedule permits. Students with difficult problems are advised to consult with these advisers or the registrar before Wednesday, if possible. By pre-registering now fcr fall quarter, students will avoid the difficulties of Closed classes. They will have the opportunity of selecting courses before new students register in September. Memorial Day Holiday Calls No classes will be held at Western Washington college Memorial Day, May 31, according to Dr. W. W. Haggard. Classes will resume Tuesday morning at the regular hours.

Brunch will be served in the MRH and Edens hall at 10 a. m. Saturday and Monday. Dinner for those two days will be at 5 p. m. Sunday, May 30, breakfast will be at 8:30 a. m., and dinner will be served at 1 p. m. Alumni Banquet To Open Final Week With graduation t i m e coming closer, final plans are being completed for the opening affair, the alumni banquet, to be held at Edens hall Saturday, June 5. Baccalaureate services will be held in the auditorium Sunday, June 6, at 4 p. m., and the President's tea for the faculty will be held following the services at the home of Dr. W. W. Haggard. Dr. M. F. Cederstrom, class adviser, announced class day exercises will .be held in the auditorium at 2 p. m., June 8. Dr. Arthur C. Hicks and James H. O'Brien are in charge of the affair.

Working with her will be Miss Edna Channer, Donald P. Irish, Dr. Keith A. Murray, Glenn D. Warrick, and Miss Eileen McMillan. Haggard Sponsors Annual Fish Fry Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Haggard sponsored their annual salmon bake for the incoming and outgoing members of the Board of Control yesterday. The event was held at the Rocks and began at 5 p. m. ASB President Halldor Karason and presidentelect Gus Pagels gave a full report of their recent trip to the ASB President's convention at Tempe, Arizona. Faculty members included Dr. and Mrs. Haggard, sponsors; Dr. Lucy Kangley, and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hearsey. Students included Mr. and Mrs. Halldor Karason, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dickson, Gus Pagels, Nita Clothier, Art Runestrand, Phyllis Armstrong, Alice Robbins, George Dowd, Bessie James, Bill Morton, and Warren Tiffany. Dr. Haggard also invited his office staff, Miss Ethel Church, Jane Blake, Phyllis Emersan, Jessie Fricke, Joanne Plumb, Beverley Rothisberg, and Dorothy Ryan.

Students will receive their copies of the book Friday, June 4, by calling for it in the Publications office. "It will speed up the whole distribution plan if students who have not been registered at WWC for the full three quarters will check with the Business office and make sure their : •• full $4.50 Klipsun fee has been paid. This should be done before calling for the book," says Miss McLeod. Photographers for the 136 page yearbook, which contains 570 pictures, were Bernie Lepeska, Wayne Craig, and Ruth Norman. Cne of these three will have his name engraved on the Photography cup for having taken the best picture in the book. Selection of the winner is left to the Klipsun staff. The Rosemary Bolster cup for outstanding service will also be awarded a staff member. Awards will be announced at the annual Publications banquet next Thursday.

And The Walls Came Tumbling Down Little by l i t t l e , brick by brick, the o I d smokestack that has s t o od sentinel duty over W W C ' s campus since about 1916 is coming down. With fond regard Poet Woodward, whose mother, nee Dorothy Austin, is a g r a d u a t e of 1924 offers: % The staffs of the Klipsun and Collegian will assemble in the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold Hotel Thursday evening of June 3, at 7 p. m., for their annual publications banquet. Approximately 70 people are expected to attend and among the guests will be Dr. W. W. Haggard; faculty publications committee; former reporters of the Klipsun and Collegian; printers and engravers for both staffs; and Jack. Carver, Herald photographer. Vern Matthews, Collegian editor, will be master of ceremonies and the program will include the awarding of Klipsun and Collegian pins to those students who have completed 3 quarters of work on the respective staffs. Roast turkey will be the featured course and attractive place cards made by Barbara Breazeale will supplement the decorations. Those heading committees are: V e r n ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 May 28 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, May 28,1948 Ooltobiali Is It Because . . . A new era dawned on Western Washington college last fall. - So we were told. Evidently someone forgot to tell the Athletic department. Or are they aware, as the students are, that the fuel that has kept the beacon year of 1938 burning for so long is rapidly running low? Not a single first place football, basketball, or baseball trophy has been added to our collection since that year so long, long, ago. Is it because the players don't have the natural ability or spirit? WE DON'T THINK SO. Is it because the Board of Control has been selfish with funds to provide the necessary equipment and travel funds? WE DON'T THINK SO. Is it because t he student body as a whole doesn't support them adequately? Back files of the WWCollegian show that they have had consistent support from the press during the past 10 years. WE DON'T THINK SO. Is it because Western is not attracting as capable athletes as other colleges in the same league and with approximately the same enrollment? WE DON'T THINK SO. Is it because, our athletes are not working under as capable a coaching system as other colleges have, and athletes are entitled to expect? COULD BE. Is it fair, to expect that students who are footing the bills should have a right to some logical explanation for the dismal record of the past ten yars? WE THINK SO. —Vern D. Matthews Music Dept. Commended In sharp contrast to an uneventful athletic record is the highly commendable accomplishments of the Music department for the past year. Operating with a minimum of fanfare and funds this department has contributed a great deal toward advertising Western Washington college from one end of the western portion of Washington to the other. Bernard Regier's a capella choir has made no less than 16 individual appearances since they opened the Armistice assembly last fall. The highlighted events of their crowded agenda were the broadcast over KIRO in Seattle and their concert at the First Baptist church in Tacoma. A total of 35 appearances attest to the demand for the services of Don Walter's newly organized band and drill leaders. This aggregation played a vital roll in maintaining college spirit at all athletic and post-game festivities. In other fields they entertained high school student bodies, appeared in seven different outside concerts, and furnished music for various civic functions. Two departmental recitals and sectional appearances over KVOS plus various collaborations with the Bellingham Civic Symphony orchestra were also crowded info their busy schedule. •'•- "l^r^fs^practically impossible to estimate (an accurate account was not kept) how many different times Dr. Frank D'Andrea's crew of soloists, duets, quartet, string quartet, and others, were called to entertain clubs, civic groups, college assemblies, and other group meetings for this past year. Their year is over now and their choir robes, band uniforms, and instruments are packed away until fall quarter opens. They will walk out the front door the same way they came in, quietly and with a minimum of fanfare. No awards will decorate their arms for a year of unselfish duty. No banquets will be held where speakers will rise and proclaim their greatness. We take this opportunity to say thanks for your efforts to make this college year an eventful one . . musically. World News with dowd BENTON COUNTY, WASHINGTON . . . 20,000 people are jamming the highways of this county in an attempt to escape the rising rivers in this area that endanger homes and lives. PALESTINE . . . The main attack is still centering in Jerusalem although severe fighting is developing along the Tel-Aviv highway as the Jews attempt to reopen the road. I t is interesting to note that the people in this, country who are condemning the British for helping the Arabs are the ones who are urging our government to give Israel a $100,000,000 loan and to lift the arms embargo. If this happens we will be doing the same thing that these people are hitting the British for. WASHINGTON, D. C. . . .With 16 Democrats aiding the Republican majority in t h e House, the extension for three years of the Reciprocal Trade Act was killed. The House then voted to extend the bill for one year and included crippling amendments which might mean economic suicide for the entire world if high trade barriers and tariffs are raised. I t is hoped that the Senate will strike out many of the amendments. INDIA . . . Nine men were arrested and charged with murder on the death of Mohandas K. Ghandi.

Vivid Experiences on Mountain Campus Recalled by Erstwhile Scaler Personalities By HARRY PAGELS By SAM There are mountains and mountains: big mountains, little mountains, •rocky mountains, snow covered mountains. Some like one kind; some like another. Me, I like 'em all rolled up into one. That's why I like Mount Constance. Constance has everything except an easy way to the top: rocks, snow-fields, ridges, ledges—and to top it all off—one of the best views in the Olympics. On a 'dear day you can see all the way to the ocean. You can see Mount Rainier, Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams, Mount Baker, the entire Olympic range, the San Juan islands, Tacoma, .Seattle, Everett, Olympia, Bremerton, Shelton, and even Bellingham— the day I climbed it you couldn't see ten feet in front of you. ' There's not much to tell about the first and third days, but the second, that was the day. We started from the lake about 6 a. m. on a cloudy, foggy, and what have you, morning in June. We worked our way up the valley over boulders and across snowfields, until we reached the proper shale slide. There was a whole series of shale slides all the way up the valley on our right. We could tell which was the proper one by a little rock in the middle of it, about 30 feet in diameter. The Philosopher We fought our way up the shale slide and sat down at the top to rest. While we rested we watched several mountain goats cavorting around on the rocks above us. Running and jumping on ledges man only dreams of traversing. Man is God's greatest creation, but no matter in what natural environment he finds himself, there is always an animal which is better adapted to that environment. It is rather discouraging to a mountaineer to watch a mountain goat climb. It makes him too aware of his own limitations. Snow, Shale From the top of the shale slide we started the longest and hardest single part of our climb: the chimney. It takes about four hours of hard climbing on snow which, on this particular day, for all intensive purposes, might as well be called ice. We had to use the ice axe to cut each individual step: a slow process indeed. About every ten steps we had to change the lead to conserve energy. The first man would step to the side, let the others pass, and fall in at the end. When we finally reached the top of the chimney (and inci-dently, the top of the ridge), we sat down to eat lunch and to discuss our chances of reaching the top. We decided that we had about one chance in one hundred of making it—unless the fog lifted. The most difficult aspect of the trip from the top of the ridge to the top of the mountain is finding the route and fog doesn't help. We couldn't give up without a try, however, so up we went. All you have to do is follow the ridge . . . straight up and then straight down, and then straight up again. After a couple of hours doing just that we reached the key to the mountain, a narrow ledge about six inches wide at its start, narrowing down to about one-half inch and then widening to six inches again. That sounds bad enough, but actually it is worse. At the narrowest part of the ledge, about waist high, there is a bulge, so that when you try to cross you have to lean away from the rock—a difficult feat psychologically if not physically. Still this ledge would be endurable if there were something within 500 feet below it besides space, and if there were enough hand holds. As it is, it is just about as safe as washing windows on the 102nd floor of the Empire State building from the outside without a strap to hold you. Rock Throwing Mountain If you once make it over that little obstacle, the rest is easy. Or at least it would be if the mountain didn't" keep throwing rocks down at you and if the rotten shale didn't keep crumbling .away under your STATIONERY - PRINTING "The Union Has It" UNION PRINTING CO. 1421 Cornwall Phone 1264 AFTER THE SHOW OR GAME Eat at MACS Closed Tuesdays 121?

Back at the lake we started a fire, put a pot of coffee on to boil and began throwing all sorts of things into the frying pan/or;our evening meal. You know it's surprising the things you'll eat when your in the mountains; when you're away from social prejudices and self centered, financality. After our meal, to keep from : freezing to death, we crawled into our sleeping bags. The sleeping bag doesn't end the freezing prdcess, but merely prolongs it on the assumption that you will awake in the% morning before the end has come. The next morning, however, you are up and feeling fine—all ready for the day's hike and more particularly the ride home which comes after the hike. On a Clear Day But as your hike comes to an end, and as you get farther and farther from the lake and the mountain; as the experience becomes more and more remote, and as home becomes more and more an actuality; the nostalgic feeling for the mountain becomes more and more acute. .Regardless of what you say when you're on ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 May 28 - Page 3 ---------- ^tsSSsp^iSiP^f^^.':"^?; Friday, May 28, 1948 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington £atest House Tlews Edens Hall Ah, this spring weather is getting the gals down. I just don't -see how teachers can expect us to study. There are so many starry-eyed couples wandering around taking in the air, but that is the same, winter or fall! . . . The girls have been enjoying the warm days on the roof getting a lovely red color . . . The gals that went to the MRH picnic last Friday have "sworn off" but they 4o like chicken , , . . Cam and Jean took a big trip over the weekend . . . The dorm was well represented by song birds at the Choric Concert Wednesday night . . . Joan and Margie simply "wuv rabbits"! . . . Last week all the girls got little surprise packages from the Shasta company so have all been busy washing their hair with this new shampoo. So far no one has decided too definitely if they like it or not—at least it got our hair clean . . . We would like to make a complaint to the person who runs the heating system . . . In the winter our rooms were cold * s ice and now that the weather is starting to be nice and we are quite comfortable, NOW they give us heat. Isn't that always the way? . . . The dance was a success. Many thinks to our hardworking chairman, Jean Chenoweth . . . Noticed at the' dance was Charlotte Ellis who had a huge corsage of not one, but three Dig orchids. What a guy . . . Cliff, call me Queenie, McCullum was crowned the King of Spring. Suggestion to the wise: Next year either nominate shorter men or have a taller house president. Dot McLane couldn't quite reach the top of Queenie's head. Violet Ries dripped hot ice drippings all through town just sa we could have "foaming" punch for the dance . . . See you next week. Senior Hall This may be a little late but the entire house wishes to extend congratulations to Edens hall for their fine program Campus Day. Also if that machine is still available and still works, we -would like very much to purchase same. Well get rid of that mad banjo-guitar player yet! The annual house picnic held Wednesday night was a stuffing success. Everyone with the exception of the chicken was stuffed. We hate to make rash statements, but the strawberry sundaes were certainly good even if we did have to roll several of the girls up the stairs afterwards. It seems as though many of the girls got the urge to travel on our recently lovely weekend (note singular). Three went to Granite Palls to rest, eat, and look at the scenery. Seven others left for parts unknown (B.C. to you) to just look around, fool around, but of course all seven came back to Senior hall to rest. Daniels Hall Its been a long time since we met, but to date I feel safe in saying that we are all still alive. Roma came down for dinner the other night and gave us all a thrill when she tried to see how far she could throw catsup. We had a return engagement the next night and Mel washed her hands with the water pitcher. What's going to happen after they get married. Well, Pearl got so sick that we had to get rid of her. Everyone feels bad but the owner and he feels like he really put over a deal. Wonder how the new owner feels. Yonlick has changed his ways. Now he is trying a hold-out. Some do and some don't. Big ball game tonight. Amber promises a good big dinner. Hard to tell what we will get if we lose. Prediction: If the days keep coming, Monday will be the last day in May. Hospice Inn This column wishes to make profound apologies to Lyle Daniel. Last week we erronously reported that he was the victim of mumps. This was not true; he merely had a slight case of ton-silitis. We should offer apologies to the Eagles club . . . but they asked for it. They wanted us to present our version of the "Dangerous Dan McGrew" and we did. Things didn't go too well. They weren't bitter though and there was applause. Abbie McLue was discovered yesterday by room mates muttering things to himself in the bathroom mirror. If you laid all the Hospice men that fell asleep in the library down on the floor it would be more comfortable. Question of the week: Is Norm Murray anti-social? Fast stepping into the Hospice social light is Laveme Brockmire . . . could it be spring? Men's Residence Hall As we forecast, the MRH picnic last week-end was the "finest social (very) event of the year." Jess Winders and Al Bianchini gave us the "bestest" feed we have had since—well, for quite some time . . . But we would still like to know why Bob Ervin couldn't decide whether the fire was too hot or otherwise. Certainly glad we ran out—of driftwood—in time . . . And another thing—who said MRH wouldn't place in the beard contest? We had the highest and lowest levels of social strata represented: Cliff McCullem as King of Spring with the backest beard and, of course, Charley Borden who is our own beloved "B.O." Plenty (?) . . . Because our regular house reporter is laid up with a touch of the old fever, yours truly is filling in for him with only a few of the usual highlights of the week. Ol' Stan will be back with us next issue. College Inn At glimpses of busy daze at COLLEGE INN we see: Helen Johnson returned from the tennis meet in Ellensburg with a second place ribbon . . . Maggie Olds enjoying herself to the full at the bridal shower given for her . . . Muffy Symonds just enjoying herself (period!) . . . Laura Ford being domestic and getting some sewing done . . . Ruth Anttonen back with us once more after being in the infirmary . . . Rosie Wallace still very much interested in pinochle . . . Shirley Hamer doing somer-saults in swmiming class. Must have gotten bored wading around! . . . A few of the "old salts" enjoyed themselves on a cruise last week—the rest of the crew was busy feeding the fish! Harborview k The inmates of Harborview have really been showing their musical talents lately. They sang for the AWS assembly Tuesday, and Meredith Hess, Clarice Smith, Georgia Calouzis, and } Viola sang in the Choric Concert Wednesday evening. Dolly Mac- Arthur made a big hit Tuesday by keeping time to the music with her polished toes. Others who sang were Carol Erickson, Arlene Swanson, Marge Kingsley, Lynn Shannon, Berdell Smith, and Connie. Martin. About the only thing they've spent more time on is studying. Wonder why the teachers go so slow at the beginning and then try to make up for it all the last week??? Yes, books are really losing that "new look"; in fact they're getting rather worn from that constant throwing them out the window or against the wall. Grade points should really rise this " quarter. All the girls had a wonderful time at the tolo. That is aU those who weren't CAMFUSED! Soderstrom Defeats Traulsen Photo by Bernie Lepeska Ruth Soderstrom, right, was chosen by the Associated Women Students of Western Washington College to serve as president of their organization for the next school year. Miss Soderstrom, a sophomore, was opposed in the election by Margery Traulsen, a junior. Both girls are prominent in college activities here. WRA, Campcrafters Cruise To Sinclair Approximately fifty g i r l s will cruise Saturday morning to Sinclair island, where they will remain until Monday afternoon, at which time they will return again, by way of the SSActivian, to the mainland. Ruth Weythman's camp craft class will compose about half the group. They will be required to do a certain amount of work, along with the play. The other half, accompanied by Margaret Aitken, WRA adviser, plan the trip "strictly for pleasure."

But, it's Time, the Great Heel, to the boxing fanatics. "Ain't it awful," moan the slug bugs, "what 20 years has done to the heavyweight division. Back there in the late Twenties, the woods were full of handsome heavy fistic timber. But now look—and what do you see? Only old Joe Lewis, faded and jaded, and older Jersey Joe Walcott, and two other guys named Joe." Those last two are, of course, Joe Maxim, a slick, shifty boxer who .couldn't punch his way into a meeting of the Cub Scouts, alas, and Joe Baski, a once-promising rookie whose promise was broken by a reformed Swedish ski jumper. When Baski took a back seat to Olle Tandberg, who couldn't be' any clumsier if he wore his skis in. t he ring, all hope was lost. There were able heavyweights around on all sides in those days. True, Gene Tunney was blowing off, at his peak, and Jack Dempsey was calling it a career, too. But other big leatherers, good and tough and rough,, were constantly on the go—and going great guns. The parade passes with Tunney and Dempsey moving out of sight: • Jack Sharkey, George Godfrey, Paulino Uzcudm, Johnny Risko, Young Stribling, Jimmy Maloney, Chuck Wiggins, Ernie Schaaff, Otto van Porat, K. O. Christner, Tommy Loughran, Max Schmeling . . . There was never a dull moment in the heavyweight waring. But take these times, in sorry contrast, and you've got. naught but-dull moments well-nigh all the year 'round. I mean to take nothing away from Joe Louis, surely a standout of all time and probably the most dynamic and devasting "finisher" the ring has ever seen. The celebrated Dr. Thunder-gloves need back up for none of them in the history books. And now the old champion will have his hands full with the older Joe Walcott m the second Battle of Ages. It doesn't seem right. No, the heavyweight picture is all wrong—strictly grade C— and that fetches us back to where we started. Four guys named Joe: Louis, Walcott, Maxim, Baski. That's all there are. One of the longest and toughest automobile races on record was Argentina's Gran Premio International, which ended in Buenos Aires last November. The course stretched 3,315 miles over some of the roughest roads in the Andes at altitudes up to 15,000 feet. Of the 99 starters, oniy 25 finished. Winner Oscar Galvez receiyed prize money in excess of $70,000 for negotiating the course in a driving time of 55 hours and six minutes. $ * * * HEAR AND THEIR Talking about fighters, Walcott will be off his feet as much as possible for the next few days because of a foot infection . . . Louis took a day off at the insistence of his trainer who said the champ weighed only 218 pounds after doing his road work . . .

DON CAIRNCROSS 1217 Cornwall Phone 982 Sports Banquet Great Success Approximately n i n e t y athletes and their guests attended the annual Spring Sports Banquet, which was held last Tuesday evening in the Edens Hall dining room. The affair was held in honor of all athletes participating in sports at Western Washington collgee. To start the evening off right, a steak dinner with all of the trimmings was served. Immediately following, Halldor Karason opened the ceremony with a few chosen words, announcing the second annual Sports Banquet. Master of Ceremonies, Dr. Keith Murray, then introduced the guest speaker, Bobby Morse. Morse, who-is at present the King county auditor, elaborated on his favorite subject, athletics. ; A pioneer in • Pacific Northwest-;; sports, Morse related his experiences as a referee in college football and basketball games. Perhaps the most exciting tale was his account of the five Rose Bowl games at which he officiated. Being an avid baseball fan, he not only helped organize bush-league baseball in the Northwest, but was an active player. Coaches Sam Carver, Charles Lappenbusch, and C. W. McDonald retold, during the course of the evening, events that had taken place in the sports which they coach, respectively. Dr. W. W. Haggard spoke on the suhiect of football at WWC. He expressed his keen interest in having a winning football team next fall, and he hopes every one will put forth as much as they can in order to obtain a championship team. One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of the basketball inspirational award to Jack R o s s by Coach McDonald.. Ross who is an outstanding basketball player for the Western Washington Vikings was chosen for the award early in the school year, but had not officially received it. UBC Thunderbirds Take Championship Coach Bob Osborne's Thunder-bird track and field squad chalked up its third straight victory of the season at Walla Walla, Saturday, winning the Northwest conference championship for the second year in a row. Three UBC thinclads set new conference records, and a fourth tied the 100-yard mark. Scoring a total of 55 points, the British Columbia team easily copped the crown. Whitman college was second with 32, College of Pu-gct Sound third with 26, Lewis Clark fourth with 22, infield fifth with 17li, Pacific University sixtn with GVi, and Willamette university and College of Idaho collected three points each. Ez Henninger's record smashing time of 49.3 seconds in the 440 (he set the new mark of 49.9 last year) was the most spectacular as he chopped six-tenths of a second oil' the previous mark. Doug Knott clipped a tenth off the 880 mark, running the half-mile in 2:00.4. Dave -PPPPP

We have long since graduated from that class . . . It would be well if we all thought twice when confronted with a scrap of paper in our hands and no place to put it. We may not pick weeds from the grass now, but, this is no indication that we won't be out cleaning the campus in years to come. Give the gardeners a break.

Students Enthusiastic Over All Campus Day Events By HARRY PAGELS Rumor has it that Fred DeBruler is a man capable of mystic powers. He not only prophesied beautiful weather for campus day, he also promised it! This may account for the general enthusiasm of the crowded auditorium Wednesday morning when Dr. W. W. Haggard proclaimed May 19, 1948 as a day of fun. House skits opened the, assembly program as Edens hall, with an original skit entitled "There'll be some changes made" narrowly edged out Senior hall, last year's first-place winners. First prize was $5. Senior hall, with an entertaining "Flicker Flashbacks" took second prize for $3, and Hospice $2, for their presentation of "The_ shooting , of Dan McGrew." Other organizations participating were Men's Residence hall, Daniels hall, and Off- Campus girls. Early arrivals at Whatcom Falls park quickly monopolized the tennis courts, swings, teeter totters, and horseshoe courts. The caravan, which stretched and wound for approximately a mile, arrived at the park at 11:30. Students and faculty literally covered the green with football games, baseball, and volley ball. The sun should account for all the "sunburned" noses. CHOW CALL . . . AND RESPONSE At 12:30 someone^ mentioned chow. Students and faculty swarmed from the creek, the fish hatchery, the games, the swings, teeters, and tennis courts. A double line had to be formed in order to allow the chow line to move. Firecrackers were continually exploding just to keep the picnickers alert. Dr. Keith A. Murray was handed the spongey-end of a local joke when he was served a rubber hot-dog. Jay Lapp presided as M.C. throughout all the contests, the biggest of which was the beard-growing, trimming, and coloring. Dr. Lucy Kangley and Mis/i Ruth Piatt, judges, were in constant difficulty trying to distinguish one beard from another. Aided by the on-lookers, the judges selected Ray Borden, sophomore, as having the mostest and pinned on him the title of Mr. B. O. Plenty, 1948. Bob Tesdall, freshman, was chosen as having the technicolorest beard; Clifford McCullum, sophomore, the blackest beard; Art Svidran, freshman, the trimmest. Contestants turned out en masse for the honor of the "smoochiest." Judges Joanne Knowles and Ellie Wilbanks, after eliminating many un-smoochy beards, had to call on reserve forces Lois King and Phyllis Armstrong to aid in the final selection. The bearded, lip-sticked, perspiring face of ErnieyCallender, freshman, was awarded first place. .-•' IRISH RUNS OFF WITH SACK The next event, Slipper Kick, was captured by Susie Mbdisett as her shoe soared into the air to out-distance an competitors.

" GclitotiaL . . . Campus Day Becomes Fond Memory; Students Eagerly Await Summer Vacation Another Campus Day is written in the history of Western Washington college. Another page has been filed into its correct position in our own memory lanes. Another, and final, bouquet of Campus Day twigs is offered to participating committee- men, and especially to Fred DeBruler and Arlene Swanson, chairmen of the hootin' and hollerin' day. Our blessings and condolences to students who entered into contests with the spirit that is traditional. Especially to Edens hall we offer our congratulations. Their skit had the originality, preparation, and thought that some of the other units lacked. * A quick peek at our Roman timepiece shows that there are exactly 14 academic days left in this college year. Now 14 days may seem like a long time to vacation-hungry students. 14 days may seem like a long time to faculty members a|so. But, 14 days to accomplish a whole quarter's work is really not much time. There is nothing, wrong with us that a dose of vacation won't cure. But, until that date arrives the next two weeks should be ones of study, study, study. more campus day follow-up .". Y (Continued from Page 1) The Faculty Sack race was taken in easy stride by Don Irish as the others lagged considerably behind. Les Johnson is this year's biggest baby; he drained the be-nippled 7-Up baby bottle first to defeat last year's champ, Tom Poe. Marillyn Rimpler is the champ girl guzzler. Bessie James retained her crown of biggest pig as her blackberry stained face again was victorious in the pie-eating contest. Because o f t h e "mysterious" disappearance of two pies, the male contestants were each given only a half of those remaining. Andy "Toothpick" Vitaljic ate fastest. The student-faculty tug-of-war was set off by a spray of water over the center of the line. Each side was allowed 25 men. Hearty heave-hoes, accompanied by puffs and strained muscles, were heard as the students desperately tried to regain lost ground. Someone slipped. Another one slipped. The whole student line slipped . . . and got drenched. The question of the week: What was "Big Bill" McDonald doing with the end of the faculty rope in the vicinity of the steel acrobatic bars? SVIDRAN'S TOSS WINS "THOR" HONORS , Hammer throwing for the title of King Thor proved to be more dangerous than entertaining. The crowd was scattered many times by the flying hammer. The skillful throwing of Art Svidran netted him first place with 117 feet. Tom Poe was second with 111 feet. Faculty versus students in baseball. It was, murder. The faculty, this' time without the aid of the football team, knocked in nine runs to threaten the quavering lead of the students twenty-two runs. The sun went down on a glorious day. Fred DeBruler and Arlene Swanson, both responsible for this campus day, should be congratulated on its success. The committees that also did such fine jobs were! the beard, sports, food, dance, prize, and publicity committees. WHITSELL ORCHESTRA APPRECIATED Special mention should be made of Johnny Whitsell and his orchestra who entertained students and faculty at the assembly, at Whatcom Falls park, and at the mixer. The dance began at 8:30 p. m. and lasted until midnight. Beard awards were given by Arlene Swanson, who crowned Art Svidran King Thor. Gloria Carey announced the results of the house skits and awarded the prizes. Nature Boy Disillusioned With Extensive Courses Given at Institutions of Higher Learning By JERRY WADDELL My story is not a new one, and it certainly has no morals. It is merely a tale of woe which could happen to anyone caught off his guard. Let me tell you about it: "Well, here we are," I sighed proudly that first day as my buddy and I stood gawking at the majestic buildings and terraces that spread out before us. "University of Murmansk, you goddess of knowledge, here we are," I reiterated as we clicked our heels r——— ,v jy.;., —7WTt^T~Tt* Campus World News with dowd PALESTINE . . . The ring of Arab armies has been pressing steadily into the new state of Israel. The Jewish defenders of Jerusalem are surrounded and the city has been under bombardment by the Transjordian Legion. The all-Jewish city of Tel-Aviv has suffered five straight days of air attacks by the Egyptian airforce. In the meantime, the United Nations is debating whether it should issue a stop-fire order for the Holy Land, and all the while, Jews and Arabs slaughter each other and wonder why? WASHINGTON . . . The House of Representatives sent the Mundt bill to the Senate this week by a vote of 319 to 58. The Senate is expected to put up a better fight against this bill, part of which received publicity on the Dewey-Stassen debate last Monday. CHINA . . . Chiang Kaishek became the first officially elected president of the Chinese republic to be elected in quite some time WASHINGTON . . . Premier Stalin made another request for a peace talk between the U.S. and Russia to discuss the major differences in policy. Marshall again declared that Russia should show her desire for cooperation by deeds, not words. Many people in this country are thinking, however, that maybe there wouldn't be any bad repercussions from such a parley. Wallace stated in San Diego, this week that he would consider going to Moscow to talk with Stalin in the interests of pace if he had to. and skipped lightly down the short* wide walk that led directly to the administration building (with due respects of course to all the long, narrow walks in the nation). A smile of smugness crossed my face as I thought of the great decision I had so wisely made. "This is the big time," I thought. "None of this messing around little schools with coats of paint for me. Naw, that's for rhubarbs. This is the big time." "Big suits, big cars, big frat houses! That's for me," I mused, and a feeling of fullness filled my body as my lungs gasped for attention. I inhaled deeply and took into myself all the ravishing things around me. "What a combination of aromas," I recited. "Fertilizer on a winter eroded lawn and a heavy, black smoke that rises from giant stacks and settles on the ground like the layers of a huge chocolate cake." I flicked a couple of cinders from my teeth, adjusted my big tie, straightened my knickers and entered the halls of higher learning. The first few weeks in the big school brought about such hardships as registration horrors. Never faltering, I took this in its stride, rationalizing that this would be the worst chore of college life. But, when I was given a number, 64872921 a .map, a telescope, hip boots, a compass, a bush., knife, and roller skates, I then grew shrewdly suspicious. My first class was a course in Ubangi head shrinking. I punched the time clock as I entered the classroom and settled myself in an available cage near the door (our specimens were the real McCoy). The professor was a very dignified, but typically eccentric, mulatto pygmy. I felt good as I realized that my knowledge of the southern drawl gave me a decided advantage over my classmates. I sighted by telescope, (it was a large room), pointed my ear-trumpet nor' by nor'east according to my compass and settled back to enjoy my first big class. A full quarter of lectures with recitation forbidden lay behind me now, and I stubbornly held to my fine ideals of big college life until cwxm Vienna Cleaners Inc. 206 E.

I could hold back no longer for the big finals were at hand. I rose to my feet, glanced at the staring faces of envy around me and raised my hand in a sweeping up-right position. Here was my only chance for recognition! Immediately the instructor took his feet from the desk, stepped into his bedroom slippers, snuffed out his reefer, rose to a kneeling position and said, "Take corridor E to corridor D and turn left. Second door on the left. Can't miss it." "Well here I am," I sighed proudly as I stood squinting at the few, small cast-about buildings before me. "Western Washington college, you goddess of knowledge, here I am. This is the thing for me . . . none of these big, devil-may-care, impersonal, monstrous, back-breaking, heartless schools for me." Former Tropical Jungle Is Still Hot Spot for Kids By RON SHEARER Did you know that Sehome Hill was once a tropical jungle? Not many people realize that sixty million years ago, this whole country was covered wtih a dense tropical growth; that's right, you shivering students: palm trees, sunshine and everything. This information came from Miss Marie Pabst, the newest addition to Western's teaching*staff. Miss Pabst, paleobotanist, was lured here last winter from the University of California in search of fossils of prehistoric nature. She is now a member of WWC's science department. Miss Pabst, whose home is in Springfield, 111., spent three of the war years "rallying around ol' glory" in the Waves. She hopes to be here for at least two years before she settles down to writing a book on her paleological findings in the Pacific northwest. So we say, in her behalf, that if you have any old fossils lying around, please bring them in as they will be cheerfully accepted. Personalities By HARRY PAGELS ' Exposed! Harriet Lang, small, beauteous, spirited bit of femininity, b NOT a native of Washington. This starting fact was inadvertently revealed at a recent interview when she casually mentioned Alhambra, California, as her birthplace. ' "Not from Washington!. How long have you been up here?" I inquired, slightly indignant. •^•i"About five years — Mostly in' Sedro-Wooiley, you-all," she smiled, with just, a tinge of that inbred Southern Cal accent. Hmm. With a background of California, and the inspirational influence of Sedro- Woolley, Harriet seems destined for notoriety here at Western. At present she is the secretary of the WRA and has been elected to serve as its president next quarter . . . besides the various other committees she is active in. All this and studying too! But, with a teaching profession firmly established in mind, Harriet is concentrating her efforts heavily on science and P. E. So industrious is this gal that she plans on attending summer school.

We noticed that the boys here had the best whisker average on the campus . . . All the Blue Bolt" needed was a winter's hibernation to make it run . . . Say, Sayan, how come you are not playing the field anymore? . . . Now that the year is almost over, our "star student," Howard Hardy, finally found how to open and close the radiator valve . . . Frank Adams is the most popular man in the house now that he has his new Buick convertible . . . George Kern sold his car and had to walk downtown for the first time and has been 'stove in" ever since . . . Bill Reece was putting on a darn good (dress?) rehearsal in pink unmentionables for the play last Saturday night until someone got excited and stopped his act . . . Bill Barron has decided to stay here weekends for his health—he lives in Vancouver . . . Did you all see Doloris Bianchini at the movie the other night? Off-Campus Girls Elections are over—and Rosemary Dewar has come out victorious again. To help her next year will be Madeline House, vice-president; Beejay Christie, secretary; and Shirley Adams, treasurer. We all hope they have a successful year . ' . . I n case you havent noticed—our girl, June Hardin, is now society page editor . . . Everyone really had a good time Campus Day. Jerry Dillon, Jean Fehlhaber and Dolores Christensen all got a little pink from the nice sun. Mary Ann Call, Marion Nattrass, and June Carrick got the summer spirit and tried out the water at Calmor. I t seems they got out with icicles instead of legs. By the way—who is Lois Kilander's mystery man? Oh well, Saturday night will tell . . . Which one of us was engaged for 10 minutes Campus Day night. We're looking forward to a longer engagement some day.. . . We wonder how Pat Bornstein got into the park Horses! "And here they come"—straight to Lakewood for the Off- Campus Day. We saw a sign that said, "No horses allowed." Campus girls picnic today. See ya' there. Edens Hall Will miracles never cease? Edens hall girls got not one, but two late nights! Yes, we got 11:30 on Tuesday night and 12 o'clock on Wednesday . . . Margaret and Sharon, inmates at 128, keep blowing fuses in their room and don't know what's wrong. . . . We had a former dorm resident, Phyllis Bondy, with us over the weekend . . . Our Mother's Weekend was a success besides being fun . . . Mary Lou Thomas not only breaks windowsr-^she also phones Oak Harbor service stations! '.'". . Question of the week: Who in the wide, wide world put that SHOCKING sign on Marjorie Gray's door? . . . Most of the Edens: hallites are content to use their feet for transportation but Lois Rowe and Zoe Underwood have to rob their poor parents of the family car. Has anyone got a pair of roller skates not in use that they would be willing to sell? r . . The Filekeeper show is getting rather popular with the dorm girls. Guess they're listening for the sweet (ahem) dedications from the mighty (it sez here) 509 er's from High Street . . . "Give Me a Little Kiss Will Yuh, Huh?" Don't you agree Genny? . . . Edens hall now has a shoeshine shop courtesy of Room 319. No excuses for dirty shoes from now on girls . . . Wasn't our Skit? For Campus Day that is—You see we have to get the news in on Tuesday and Campus Day was Wednesday. . . . Don't forget Edens Hall Tolo. WHO WILL BE KING OF SPRING. Hospice Inn We surely had our, share of tough luck this week. Just before the practice for skits on Monday we lost our first Dan McGrew. Jack Driver slid into home base in an attempt to gain an extra point, but instead came up with a broken ankle. That seems to have ended Jack's expert dancing for a time. Our first narrator, Lyle, was admitted to the sick-bay for having the mumps. Imagine having the mumps at his age—and whom do you guess he got them from. Don't any of you fellows take a job on the weekend, if you want to know why just ask Mr. J. Kelly. By jove, Hospice lays claims to the original "Nature Boy." Our man is B. Meyer. We also have a feral kind among us, don't we B. Cary? Hope everyone had a good day last Wednesday. Harb orview Two new members have been added to our fold—Miss (naturally) Gayle Gerard and "Viola" have added their names to our check out book. Pauline Roser, president of ACE, returned from the convention in St. Louis, and has been attending banquets, etc., ever since. Berdell, pitch pipe, Smith will teach third grade this fall in Harmony school; wonder who will learn more—Berdell or the kids??? Clarice Smith, her bookworm sister, is moving to the dorm next year. She seems to prefer sleep to freedom; Dolly McArthur (plug) and Carol Erickson are featuring the long, stringy look this week. That swimming class does WONDERS for their looks! Rosalyn Roberts, our "Amber" of Harborview, is well on the way to what looks like a lifetime romance; she's really up in the. CLOUD. Arlene Swanson is still "making hay for Campus Day"; Heredith Mess is still "wrapped up" in Art (at least six hours a day!) and that isn't 101. Martha Monaghan will finally sport her new "sheepskin" this year. Lynn Shannon was one of the lucky three from HV to see the Ice Follies this year; Marge Kingsley has become quite an ardent admirer of the out of doors, wonder if it's the fresh air or the company??? Georgia Clouzis is still living; which is more than I can say for Connie Martin. It seems she's been campused for a million weekends. (She told me so HERSELF!) One Will Be 'King of'Spring' Ticket Sales Determine Election of Spring King Which one will be king? One of the following ten, Walt Clayton, Harvey Thompson, Cliff McCullum, Don Minahan, Loren Rankin, Charles Dyer, Al Weber, Roger Hubbard, Lee Anderson, or Dave Langdon, will be elected "King of Spring" by the girls who buy tickets to the "Paris in Spring" dance, which will be held a t Edens hall tomorrow evening.

Blonde MRH president, Roger Hubbard, is also a King candidate. A sophomore, Roger is a graduate of Cheney high school. Dark-haired Dave Langdon is anyone's choice for King. His winning smile and dark wavy hair make him a real hit with the ladies. Dave is a freshman, hailing from Langley Prairie, B. C. Another MRH dweller is Cliff McCullum, a sophomore from Port Townsend. Cliff, an ex-navy man, is tall and dark. Don Minahan, a freshman from Oak Harbor, is the seventh nominee. "Bud" or "Minnie," as he is known to all MRHites, has dark wavy hair, brown eyes, and an engaging personality. Another sophomore boasting Bellingham to be his home town-is Loren Rankin. Loren's hair is dark, his eyes brown, and his personality grand. The fourth to claim MRH as home is Harvey Thompson, a sophomore candidate. Harvey is a graduate of Ballard high in Seattle. He is a long and lanky blond. Lastly, according to the alphabet is Al Weber, an Olym-pia graduate of '47. Al is a football letterman and president of the freshman class.

One of the pioneers of athletics in this part of the country will be the main speaker at the Spring Sports Banquet to be held in the Edens hall dining room atsix-thtrty. Remember the date—May 25. Remember this also— EVERYBODY IS INVITED—with exceptions, that is. Of course the only exception is: You have to be a member of one of the spring sports squads. Now if you were a conscientious athlete and observed all the rules and regulations of training—you know how they go—all that you have to do is to sit back and wait. This time they will come to you, in post card size. That's right, fancy invitations. About one hundred of them will be sent out, to each, and every one of you—with exceptions, that is. Now, as to the order of the day, evening that is, you will be expected to come dressed--naturally-^n straight jackets and chokers. Bring your Sunday manners along—m your pocket—and be careful, that's a women s dorm you 11 be in. Roll call will betaken before and after, so stick in a croup—-of your own kind, that is. And whatever you do don't go getting lost about the time that Big BUI McDonald is unwrapping that inspirational award for some basketball player. You may need inspiration, but why don't you watch this first?

I was sitting right on the finish line," when Patton, of U.S.C., bettered the 9 4 world record at the Fresno relays Saturday, Templeton said. "Ill have; to agree with Patton himself, who didn't think he ran that fast. Neither did I." . . .

THREE STILL TIED Three teams, H o m i c i de Squad, Yanks, and Daniels, were tied for first place Thursday, May 20. Team competition is so keen that league standings are juggled with *very game, consequently, anything can happen before the season comes to a halt. If need be, however, a first place deadlock would be played off. Hospice and Lost Ten locked horns Tuesday, May 11, in a gala slug-fest that resulted in 12 runs for Hospice and 11 for the missing Lost Ten. Erickson of Hospice contributed w i th four hits. The Blasters edged out Daniels that same day, 9 to 7. Wednesday, May 12, was an unplanned d a y of relaxation for the gullible ball hawks. It rained! The three way tie was in the making Thursday, May 15, when the ever-potent Blasters nosed out the equally strong Yanks, 5 to 4. These two teams happily introduced the0 low scoring ball game with what few runs were made scattered throughout all the seven innings. BIG GEORGE DOES OK Strapping George Yonlick steam-pitched the durable Daniels team to victory over the Hospice crew. Yonlick gave up five hits and walked two. The score, 9 to 3.

LOST TEN ARE LOST Unlucky Lost Ten suffered defeat again Monday, May 17, by the Yanks in their lusty attempt for league victory. The Yanks collected eight runs in the seventh inning as a result of a powerful rally. Starting right away, the Hospice lads took the best of a 14 to 8 decision o v e r Sehome. Activities started with the first man at bat, and never a dull moment was seen throughout the remainder of the game. In the other game Monday the Blasters defeated Mathes, 4 to 0. A very important game, and a low scoring one as well, was played Tuesday, May 18. The Blasters made their bid for Homicide Squad's league position. They were cut short, however, and suffered the weak end of a tottling, 4 to 1. That same day Daniels made their intentions clear, accepting gratefully? a forfeit? from Mathes. STANDINGS Team W.

Opponents of the plan feel there are some women who, given the chance, will overestimate their ability to stay out and still keep up their studies. Those women are in the minority, and the majority of women should not be restricted for the few. College is the transformation period from a giggling high school girl to an adult woman. Opportunities to mature, to make decisions, and to exercise responsibility should be utilized. The University has tightened up on scholarship regulations. Any woman #who goes on probation once now has only two more chances to raise her average above minus 11. If the use of a greater number of late leaves was the sole cause of her being suspended, then she obviously would have placed more value on going out than on studying. She would deserve to be suspended to make room for some woman'who could learn how to budget her time. The fault would lie with the individual and not with the system. The plan under consideration would allow seniors unlimited 2:30's, juniors unlimited 1:30's.. and sophomores 20 1:30's. These would apply to alj women not totally minus. Everyone minus or not, would have two 2:30's each week. One of those could be used during the week. There is some objection to allowing freshmen these two 2:30's each week. However, in 1940 freshmen had one 2:30 each week plus five additional during the quarter. This plan calls for only five more a quarter. Thus the new plan is only slightly more "liberal" than the regulations that existed previously. . Sophomores and juniors now feel that when they use a precious late leave they must utilize it to the very last second. With more late leaves they could go out oftener for shorter periods of time with a less damaging effect on their studies. Men don't seem to have any trouble in regulating their time and keeping up their grades, and the women won't either if given a chance.—M. H. Ed. Note: In Stanford grading system a C is 0, above in the plus column, and below in the minus column. 103 Student-Owners Receive Co-op Rebate On Sales Slips A 10% dividend on the total gross cash sales is this year's plan of rebate to the patron-owners of the Student Co-op who have held onto their cash sales slips and have turned them into the Co-op for payment. The present plan was adopted by the Board of Control after much debate on the fair theory of return. Deemed to be the better theory, the 10% dividend will be given on total cash sales basis of $46,000. Because of the fact that many students did not save -their sales slips and'will not receive a return there-fore, all of the money alloted to the payment of dividends will not be expended in rebates. The amount left in the reserve for dividends, after the rebate has been deducted, will be put into a reserve fund for student expansion of the Co-op. This reserve fund for expansion earmarks the amount of the Co-op profit for aid in financing future student facilities. A total number of 103 students turned in cash sales slips amounting in total to $2,620.68. The largest rebate "fcaid was $950 to F. A. Curtin. The smallest divi-dent was .90 to Howard Anderson, and the average amount was $254. SHADES OF LINCOLN-DOUGLAS: We doff our political bonnet this week to Dr. Peter H. Odegard, president of Reed college in Oregon. Dr. Odegard, one of the most respected educators on the west coast, has offered the facilities of his institution as an impartial debate forum for the pending Stassen-Dewey debate on the issues of Communism. Thousands of college student's eyes will be focused toward Reed college for this political battle-of-issues. Can it be envisioned that this forum may serve as one device to loosen the stringent bans on political figures now- in force on other west coast campuses? It is to be hoped so. World News with dowd PALESTINE . . . Jewish armed forces have seized the Arab port city of Jaffa. Arab forces under the command of Fawzi Bey El- Kaivukji have cut the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway which is vital for supplying the 100,000 Jews in the Holy city. In the meantime British Tommies are boarding transports in preparation of leaving the land of conflict. WASHINGTON . . . Hope for peace seemed brighter during the past week. People all over the world were either optimistic or pessimistic over the proposal that Russia and the U. S. get together and talk it over. Secretary of State Marshall seemed to throw cold water on it though by stating that Russia should show her good faith by action not words. For a man who declared the door was always open for negotiations, he certainly has hedged. WASHINGTON . . . A Mil that hasn't been given any publicity to speak of, is before the House today and proponents hope to have the Senate pass the bill and have it on the president's desk by Saturday. The Mundt bill would, in effect, outlaw the i Communist party. It contains phrases which define characteristics of a Communist front organiatzion: Any obstruction of industrial output (a strike could be thusly called) and anyone who incites racial unrest (liberals who agitate for racial equality could be called Communists). It is a dangerous, reactionary bill in its present form and alert citizens should watch developments carefully and study this bill . . . DETROIT . . . 75,000 Chrysler Corporation employees walked out on strike Wednesday and reports seem to indicate that it will be a long one. The union is raising an $8,OOO,O00.Q0 strike fund. The governor of Michigan may get an injunction to halt the walkout. The workers demand a 17c an hour wage boost and the corporation is offering 6c. .

The Russian approach to the ice sport was explained in Trail, B. C. by Mike Buckna, who returned home recently from Prague, Czechoslovakia, where he was a hockey coach. The Russians play hockey on awkward, lengthy racing skates, use sticks and equipment different from other countries and fix their own rules. Czech players were not allowed to check their Russian opponents and were only permitted to skate alongside the Soviet players. The Czech players complained, but sharp orders put them back on the ice. "I could tell you much more," Buckna explained in a Service Club address, "but it is not wise." • Notre Dame's Frank Leahy will be the head coach for the collegiate All Stars who will be pitted against the Chicago Cardinals in the 15th annual game in Soldier Field August 20.

Homicides Still Top Squad By BOB MILLS The second place Yanks smothered Hospice May 4 to the tune of 16 to 4. The Yanks started the game off right by making three runs the first inning and following through with a big second inning, scoring 7 runs. They then brought in six more runs, 3 in the fourth and three in the sixth. * Pat Drummond, the Blasters left fielder, was the main spring of his team when they came out on top of a 8 to 2 victory over the Lost Ten. The left fielder was good for a score in the third inning and a home run in the fourth. He completed his day with a hit in the sixth. FIRST SHOWING Lost Ten, making its first showing of the season, didn't have enough power or enough experience r. to overcome the fourth place Blasters. Husby, the lead off man for the Lost Ten, scored the first run for his team. The last and final run was made by Tiland in the seventh. Boyd was on the hill for the Lost Ten, with Brydges tossing for the Blasters. The games scheduled between Daniels hall and Homicide Squad and Sehome against the Yanks were rained out May 5. They will, be played today: Lost Ten suffered their second defeat ' when they were whipped by Mathes. The score1 was 13 to 4. Ned Baker was high man for Mathes w i t h/ three runs. TOPS ALL The most decisive defeat of the week was when the Blasters walloped Hospice 22 to 2. The Blasters scored these 22. runs. on 23 very timely hits. Hospice made their two in the first and seventh innings respectively. RUNNER UP A second lopsided victory of the week came when the league leading Homicide Squad showed their strength by running up a 22 to 1 massacre over t he Lost Ten. Slovek tallied five runs for the winners. Mathes dropped into fifth place this week when they lost a 16 to 5 decision to the Yanks. The pitcher, Roland, had the Mathes completely blocked until the fifth and sixth innings. After that Mathes managed to score 5 runs. UBC Cops Canadian Basketball Crown UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.— There's plenty of excitement on this campus today as word came through from Toronto that the Thunderbird basketball team had won the Canadian Olympic Basketball trials and, with it, the rating of top team in this nation. - As a result "of their amazing triumph, the British Columbia college hoopers will represent Canada in the Olympic Games basketball tourney at London's Wembley Stadium in August this summer. Coach Bob Osborne stated that the team will fly the Atlantic for the featured international meet. The UBC quintet had a rough road of conquests during the past week, travelling by train to Alberta to play the University of Alberta Golden Bears for the Western Inter- Collegiate crown first. The 'Birds won the best-of-three series in Edmonton, defeating the Albert-ans by scores of 62-46 and 5G-42. These victories, besides giving them the Western College Crown, also gave them the right to compete in the four-way Olympic trials at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens. The other three squads which found their way to the trials were Vancouver Clover Leafs, a team composed mainly of UB graduates which won the Canadian Amateur Basketball Association title; Montreal Y. M. H. A. who were Eastern Canadian Amateur champs and who lost out to Clover Leafs in the C. A. B. A. best-of- five finals; and University of Western Ontario, the Eastern Canadian Inter-Collegiate champions who were probably the strongest team in the eastern provinces. Although the Clover Leafs won out in the C. A. B. A. playoffs by taking the fifth game of that series, Montreal Y. M. H. A. came back and won the sudden-death Olympic trials game by a 47-45 score to eliminate any hopes of a trip to London for the Vancouver Clover Leafs. However, the collegiate half of the Vancouver representatives, U. B.-C. made up for the Clover Leafs' defeat on that first night by knocking off the University of Western Ontario Mustangs, 48-40, to advance to the finals against Montreal Y. M. H. A. Water Safety Course For Instructor's Card Starts Monday Monday through Friday from 7 until 10 p. m. will be the time for earning your water-safety instructor's certificate. To enter the class you have to have your Senior Life Saving certificate. Richard Evans of San Francisco, swimming instructor of the American Red Cross, will instruct the course. The course will be about half lecture and half actual swimming, and lifesaving. "There is room for everybody that can qualify for the course," said Miss Margaret Aiken, WWC swimming instructor.

The Vikings have a good average chalked up so far in scheduled play, losing only to University of British Columbia. This does not cut the dignity of our true-blue Westerners, for those BC boys are plenty sharp. The match played last Friday was close, however, and ,no sweeps were taken by any team.

Viks Play First Night Game If the weather will cooperate, the Western Washington Vikings will play their final home baseball game on Tuesday. The game will consist of a split doubleheader with the first game at 2 p. m., and the second a night contest beginning at 8 p. m. St. Martin's probable starting lineup will consist of: Mannion at the backstop spot, Lashbaugh at first Crowley at second, Fouts at third, Madison at shortstop, and the outfield consisting of Taylor, Erwert, and O'Brien. Good Average St. Martin's has been stopped twice by the Pacific Lutheran Gladiators by scores of 7 to 3 and 5 to 2. They also beat Seattle college two games. Western split with Pacific Lutheran and beat Seattle college in both of their contests. The Blue and White were to play St. Martin's at Lacey and Olympia yesterday, but wind and rain halted the squad. The makeup time of the game hasn't been announced, but it will have to be made up before the end of Che month. CPS Conquers Two home runs with the bases jammed were the major factors in the Viking defeat, as the College of Puget Sound Loggers scored a 10 to 1 victory over the Blue and White.

Does Western Need A Better Bus? By BILL BAKER Does the Athletic department at Western need a new bus? Certainly the old one runs; it has four wheels, and a top to keep out the rain, but these are about the only things that can be said in its favor. Imagine something that can roam the highways between 50 and 60 miles per hour, and give the athletes much needed comfort and rest on long trips. A bus'that can easily take 200 mile treks would be a boon to the coach as well as the players. True, a bus would be an added expense to certain school funds, but in the long run it would prove to be worthwhile when Western's PPPPP

We wondered what a hey day a local editorial writer would have if he happened across such an article.

A W S High School Girls Conference Opens Final Conquering Performance Tonight Board Approves Funds To Let Local Snowbirds Flex Wings; U.B.C. Invites Western to Meet By GEORGE DOWD * Coming as a surprise to the Board of Control in its meeting Wednesday, March 3, the request for $24 to field a 12 man ski team which will represent Western College in a four-way meet at Mount Baker March 14, was approved. The Thunderbird Ski club of the University of British Columbia is sponsoring the tournament and will supply the ski officials.

Tonight, in the Lampus school gymnasium at 8:15 p. m., is the final opportunity for students and localites to see such performers as Don Sayan, Mertowe; Carl Cary, Hastings; Patricia Wright, Kate; and Martha Monaghan, Constance; go through their acts. As a perscription for what ails you, Dr. WWCollegian highly advises your attendance at this production. Even Spirit of Sam Johnson Would Have Applauded Again At Hoppe's Streamlined Version of Play; Says Critic Cederstrom By DR. M. F. CEDERSTROM When Oliver Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer was first produced. in London in 1773, so my program informs me, it won the instant approval of the great Dr. Samuel Johnson, then the arbiter of literary taste. Had the spirit of Johnson been hovering in the wings at the play's revival last night at the College it would surely have applauded again. For, although the original text has been tailored by Victor Hoppe to suit a more stream-line minded generation, the essence of the eighteenth century comedy of manners has been preserved intact It was all there.

Clark Brown, 1947 editor of the Klipsun. placed the orchid crown upon Princess King's head during an intermission broadcast. Haines Pay of KVOS and Hal Gronseth of the WWCollegian were in charge of the 15-minute program. Highlighting the decorations was a huge balloon-filled champagne glass arranged in the center of the dance floor. Skyline murals dominated three sides of the gym; the fourth side featured the pictures of the princess candidates. Co-chairmen of the event were Betty McLeod and Vern Matthews. Those attending the dance included high school principals, advisers, and publications workers, county newspaper editors and their wives, radio workers, alumni, present students, and their guests. 30 CAMERA ENTHUSIASTS PLEASED, DESPITE WEATHER; NEXT FIELD TRIP PLANNED Although highly disappointed because the weather was not clear, 30 camera enthusiasts seemed to be pleased with their trip to Mount Baker Sunday. The Camera club, accompanied by several faculty members, left on an early bus and spent the day in skiing and trying their luck on snow-shoes. They were able to get only a few good pictures during the day, but Marion Thornton, club president, said, "We hope that on our next field trip to be held during spring quarter, we will be able to have more satisfying results." The destination for that event will be the islands of the sound. "sly young minxes.' mannerisms and speech of "mama" with her yearning for "London Society." From their first appearance until the artful curtain speech by bewitching Kate Hardcastle (Patricia Wright), the cast does an able job of conveying to an appreciative audience the spirit and light-hearted humor of the play. The plot, as in so many 18th century plays, has to do with the way of a maid with a man. The man, young Marlpw (Don Sayan), at the insistence of his father (Jack Brat-ton) has set out for a look, quite against his inclinations, at his- intended bride Kate (Patricia Wright), the daughter of his father's old friend, Squire Hardcastle (Bob Bain.) When close to their destination he and his friend George Hastings (Carl Cary) are deliberately misled by the Squire's mischievous stepson Tony Lumpkin (Lyle Bickford) into believing that the Hardcastle home is an inn. Complication follows complication, all of them, of course being unraveled satisfactorily in the last scene. It is a sprightly performance throughout, especially so in the second act when the plot begins to get complicated. Particularly effective performances were turned in by Bob Bain as the choleric Squire addicted to laughing at his own jokes and fond of his affected wife and lovely daughter; by Lyle Bickford as the stupid yet scheming Tony Lumpkin (particularly to be starred, the scene when, to fool his mother, he and Constance. Neville (Martha Monaghan) stage a mock billing and cooing scene on the 18th century equivalent of a love seat); Nita Clothier as the flighty, high-society-conscious wife of the Squire (The character who best handled the difficult task of reproducing convincingly 18th century affectations of speech and manners); and Patricia Wright as the vivacious and lovely daughter of Squire Hardcastle (Who would have thought that a costun|e (Continued on Page ,2) Royal Rhodes Naval College in Victoria, will participate in slalom and down-hill racing. Coach Charles Lappenbusch made the request for the money and indicated that the ski team would be responsible for injuries incurred and for their conduct. Steve Reeves will act as the first ski team captain. The Board approved such a meet and indicated that if the tournament was successful, it might mean the subsidization of a ski team. (Additional information Page 4). The Board approved a request for $48 from the Colheconomist club to send four delegates to the Annual Workshop Conference to be held in Tacoma, March 19 and 20. Considerable discussion followed concerning future budgeting by clubs of trip expenses. It was pointed out to the Board that the new financial system was in effect as of March 1 and that monthly statements will be issued. The Board approved the use of the student lounge by the faculty for their party to be held Wednesday, March 10.

Marjorie Traulsen and her AWS confederaVes have arranged va bang-up schedule for your enjoyment. They/ as well as the faculty and students of WWC, hope that you enjoy yourselves and carry away a favorable impression of our college. Any information- that would be of assistance to you, or to members of your High School student bodies, is yours for the asking. We, who have been around this institution of higher learning for the past few quarters, are naturally quite favorably biased. And biased we have a right to be. In the past year we have witnessed the transformation of a Teachers college into a Liberal Arts college. We have seen our departments increased and improved; we have seen our enrol Imenr increase according to expectations; and, most of all we are watching a group of students that seem happier and with a more definite objective enter and leave our portals. Almost 1200 young men and women are engaged here at WWC in the one pursuit that may some day lead to world peace. Education is a potent force in the world today and we are happy to be a part of it. We invite you to inspect our departments and to become acquainted with college students. Really they aren't much different than you are. Perhaps the biggest difference is the fact that they are getting the finishing touches put on their formal educations-on the top of Sehome hill. We hope to see you here some day too. But most of all we hope to see your names on SOME college registrar's entry blank in the future. But, have fun, and if it is possible that you pick up a few gems of wisdom, tell your friends for us where you got them, will you?

He likes to dance. He rates third highest, on the basketball scoreboard. Yet he still doesn't like girls! Is he good-looking? Look for yourself!! Who are we talking about? If you haven't guessed by now it's Tom UNAVAILABLE Green. He stands 5'10" on his medium-size feet, weighs 145 pounds, is 23 years old, has blue eyes and black wavy hair, and presents quite an interesting figure around campus. He graduated from Ballard high, Seattle, in 1942, spent three years in the Navy where he played basketball with Bill McDonald; he is a Sophomore here at WWC, and has played two years of basketball for this college. Green lives at the dorm.MEN'S, that is! He thinks our campus is one of the "best in the Winco league—that goes for the whole school, only our basketball team needs more height." As previously mentioned, he has "no love life, no prospects, but lots of fun!" He doesn't smoke or drink (at least not during basketball season.) When he does, he likes Tom Collins. To quote Green, he "finds girls pretty attractive' but is kept busy during season, so I don't have time to take them out." If he did * have time she would be—"Five feet two or three, weigh 105-110, preferably blonde, but even dark brunettes will do. She has to be athletic, attractive, and have a good personality. I guess she is everyone's ideal girl—they're all out of reach." Ideal girls that is, 'cause there are certainly plenty of others around! "The main thing wrong with girls up here," says "unavailable," "is they have to be in too early.. I like to stay out till 3 or 4 Saturday mornings. If I take a girl out, I have to take her home and then go back out again." Maybe this is why he didn't go to the prom last Saturday night. Shame on you, Tom! He plans on improving next quarter though.

Prom Crowning Takes The Air Against a background of the famed New York skyline at the Ninth Annual Publications Prom Saturday evening, the ten prospective princesses were introduced by Haines Fay and Elaine Wise, of station KVOS. Couples continued dancing during the interviews, but when the 1948 Publications Prom Princess was announced by Harold Gronseth from the contents of a letter from. Earl Carroll, famed night club owner, the couples gathered around the bandstand. After congratulating the princess, Clark Brown, last year's Klipsuin editor, placed the crown of five baby orchids on the princesses' head. This was followed by an announcement for the escorts of the ten princesses to come forward and start the Princess Promenade. Follis Engagement Revealed Recently Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Follis of this city have recently announced the engagement of their daughter, Beverly, to Cecil Harmon, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Hannon of Payette Idaho. Miss Follis attended WWC last quarter and is a graduate of the Colorado Women's College where she was active in drama and school affairs. Mr. Hannon is a student at Western. A summer wedding has been planned. Sportsday Proves Exciting for All WRA sportsday proved to be very successful, to all of the people concerned. It wasn't too good for WWC in the win column, but that didn't dampen the spirit of the girls. The University of British Columbia came out on the top of the tournament by winning four .games. A strong Whitworth squad split the four games, and Everett Junior college and WWC each won one and lost three. High scorers for the afternoon were two girls from the UBC team. Mearnie Summers scored 46 points in two games, and Mora MacDurmet scored 41. The three Sweckle sisters played outstanding ball for the Whitworth teams. Junette Jacoby, Betty Loucks, and June Carrick played good ball for the Vikingettes.

Chatter Box By CALL and NATTRASS Congratulations to our l o v e ly Prom Princess Lois King and her court. They really are the cream of the crop. The 1948 Publications Prom was a huge success. The only little difficulty was a missing rubber plant. We hope you all had a good time. Among the hundreds of couples dancing to the music of Gordie Downs were Gene Carson and Ramona Barrett, Truman Fones and Ruth Anttonen, Jess Winders and Mary Ann Oman, Steve Kuljis and Joann Wear, Don Sayan and Joyce Ruthruff, Bob Swank and Jane Clothier, and Howard Breivik and Alice Robbins. After the prom eating and parking places were filled with Western students. Booth's was a popular place and the Cedar Chest saw Bob Gates and Norma Swan, Howard Hutchinson and Pat Bornstein, and Ned Baker and Delores Anderson. Also there was a group of students from UBC who came down for the Prom. The Northwest high school basketball tournament has kept a number of students from their term papers this week. Or maybe the people who see these games are all ACE Banquet Held At Sedro Wooley Pauline Roser, president of ACE, was appointed delegate to the ACE meeting and banquet at Sedro-Wool-ley Monday evening, March 1. Others attending this banquet included Dr. Raymond Hawk, Miss Synva Nicols, and Miss Katherine Casanova. They were entertained by an exhibition of talent of the elementary school children of Sedro-Woolley. These children presented a series of square dances, minuets, readings, speeches, a piano solo, and several numbers by the rhythm band. through with their themes. Pat McGinnis and Virginia Prim had pretty goods seats Tuesday night. If they had been any closer to the court one of the teams would have been penalized for having too many players on the floor.

It may be only an intramural get-together, but it is the second step towards a college ski team. The meet, this Sunday at Mount Baker, was designed to draw out the best skiers for the big fourteen way meet at Stevens of March 21 and 22, as well as to arouse this ski minded college. Those who turn in the best times this Sunday will have a chance to go to Stevens. Not only will you be skiing for yourselves this week-end, but you will be skiing towards a future ski team. Make it good and lay it on thick! Show those who say that you don't have enough talent or material that you do, and that you are able to field a ski team if the Board of Control gives you a little financial backing. This is your first chance . . . so make it good. * THREE SKIS? In Switzerland, those who ski in the conventional method, using two skis, are beginning to worry about their prestige. There are quite a few skiers who have developed a new method, that of using three skis. These one-legged schussers are becoming so proficient that they threaten to outclass the two-legged skiers. They have developed the art of using one full length ski, on their foot, and a .little two foot long steel ski on the end of each special pole. It may be hard, but once a skier always a skier. Things are flying thick and fast at the Northwest Basketball Tournament in the high school gym. Upsets, thrills and excitement galore. Monday it was a six minute stall that held the spotlight for the night. Bob. Jacobs and Red Zender, Mount Baker, played catch for a full minute in trying to draw Sedro- Woolley out of their tight zone defense, but to no avail. Then Jacobs took the ball himself and went into a one-man stall for five minutes before the Sedro crowd finally came out to get him. Sedro lost the game with a 29-23 count. The same night Nooksack Valley pulled a stunner by dumping Snohomish Pioneers to the tune of 38-36 in an overtime game. Tuesday night ended with four upsets on the score cards. The Lynden lions tipped up the highly favored Anacortes Seahawks when Seymour Stuurmans dropped what was to become the winning foul shot through the net. Lions, 35; Seahawks, 34. Earlier, the scrappy Arlington Eagles had wooped it up for the sell-out crowd by dousing the Everett Seagulls, of the Cross- State league, 38 to 44, to join the three Whatcom county teams in the semi-final play. w- '•• * HEAR AND THERE UW swimmers held onto their fourth straight Northern division championship last Monday.

Ross Receives Award Again; Competition Team Picked By CECIL THOMAS For the second consecutive year Jack Ross has been named as inspirational player of the Western maple courts by his fellow players. Jack, who has played more time in league competition than any other Vik, fills the guard spot as a team man from way back. This has been Jack's highest scoring season under Winko league play and is further set off by the fact that he usually has the toughest man to check on the '• floor. For a man of his height, this is some accomplishment. Ross hails from Carbonado, Washington, and graduated from Buckley high school. It should be noted as a real honor for a player to receive this nomination and with the fact that this is the second consecutive year, a mighty ovation can be given. ALL CONFERENCE MEN As might be expected by many, Pacific Lutheran's own Harry McLaughlin was the first name set down by Big Bill when asked of an all - competition team. McLaughlin made all Winko center last season and has done equally well again this year. He was one hot shot that really gave Mac's defensive system a bad time this year. From Central comes two more men that would help compose a mighty hefty team. Dean Nicholson, a long shot artist for the Wildcats rolled up a 16- point average for three games against the Viks while his teammate, Chuck Long, near equaled his tally to add further to Vik grief. Chuck is a returned veteran from Ridgefield, Washington, and a mainstay from last year's hoop team. Whitworth takes honors in the form of Earl Mortlock, that cannonball guard who tallied 50 points in three games to create much sorrow among Vik fans. EASTERN TOO The second place holding in the Winko league by Eastern's Savages can be partially favored by the fine ball-handling of George Gablehouse, a speedy forward who made some fine showings in this seasons play and gave the opposition some real difficulties'. These five boys have shown some really talented ball-handling this season and as a whole could give nearly any defensive in the business a bad time.

The Pacific Lutherans, 1948 Winko champions, fell to the Gonzaga Zags by a high county of 53-29. That means that Gonzaga is on the trail to Kansas City for the small college playoffs. High point man of the contest was Frank Walters, sophomore from Gonzaga, Harry McLaughlin followed way behind with 9 counts.

Second Slalom Race Planned A letter was received from the Thunderbird Ski Club at UBC this week requesting information on Western's ski team and the possibilities of Western participating in a ski meet with them. The other schools that have been asked are CPS and the Royal Rhodes Naval Academy. It was decided that two teams of six from Western would be entered. One team will be for the down hill race and the other for the slalom race. Thses PPPPP

VQ( X L V ) No. 22 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, March 19, 1948 Mount Vernon p o l i ce have revealed that Ollie Wiles, being held in then-hostelry pending transfer to Walla Walla on a habitual criminal charge, made nis escape by sliding off the Jail roof on a recently installed flag pole l i n e. Which only goes to prove that if you give a man enough rope he won't necessarily hang himself. * * * UNDUE INFLUENCE: T h e editor is having trouble with his staff this week since they read a U.P. article on the "brutal and inhuman" treatment meted out to three reporters covering a Ku Klux Klan bonfire. According to the story they were forced to drink excessive amounts of whiskey. Now the staff wishes to depart in a body for that section to cover Klan activities. That is the first time we ever heard newspapermen complain about something like that. Must have been a college-trained crew. * $ * Why didn't someone tell us that Wednesday was St. Patrick's day? We were walking down Holly street sporting our new flashy orange necktie when suddenly with the ferocity of a woman denied, a bounder attacked us. To make it worse, the policeman on the beat was Irish, too. * * * A MODEST PROPOSAL . . . w e advocate . . . that the Board of Control allot funds to send our yell leaders down to watch the South Kitsap leaders perform . . . they have got it. * * * As the result of a recent University of Washington Board of Control decision a v o w e d candidates o r speakers advocating a political platform will no longer be banned from the University's scheduled assemblies. But, of course the University is a liberal college of long standing, instead of being in the embryonic stage. * * * The clarion sound of a bugle echoed in the minds of many veterans Wednes- • d a y following President Truman's address to a joint house-senate meeting. Couple these mental anguishes with the a d d ed tribulations of a two day test session and the automatic result is portrayed vividly by Herb Bartlett (Campus Capers . . page 2). * * * A D V A N T A G E S OP EASTERN EDUCATION . . . students who failed, to make passing grades were . b l a m e d for burning all scholastic records in the office of a Massachusetts h i g h s c h o o l principal.

Spring Time Theme Adopted by Norse With SPRING TIME as t he theme, the annual Norsemens club spring informal will be held April 16, in the Crystal Ballroom of the Leopold hotel. • Under the direction of Roger Hubbard, chairman, the following Norsemen will be responsible for the highlighted spring social event: Gordy Smith,' music; Cliff McCullem, tickets and invitations; Jess Winders advertising; Bill Morton, ,refreshments; and Ed Cotter, concessions. According to Smith, George Kan-kins' aggregation will furnish the music. Suits and long dresses will be in order, with corsages optional. Marines Grab Six Applicants Enrollment in, the U. S. Marine Corps Platoon Leaders class increased by six members Monday as a result of Captain Neil Hansen's recruitment visit on campus. WWC students who indicated a willingness to attend the corps school at Quantico, Virginia, during summer vacation include: Lowell Likkcl, George Dowd, Leroy Hoehne, Dick Robison, Harold • Sydhani, and Norm Sansregret. These applicants are not asked to join the regular Marine C o r p s ; training is on an inactive status in case another war comes. "Anyone interested in this program," stated Hansen, "may contact Dr. M. Kuder for application or other program information. Friday's Tide Plus Algaederm Brings Ann Garcia A Prize By BARBARA BREAZEALE "Time and tide wait for no man . . . but it waited for me," happily declared Ann Garcia, secretary to Dr. Merle F. Kuder, who was the recent winner of the Algaederm radio program contest. The numbers of the day's tides are compiled to make a lucky phone number which Tom Smith the Algaederm man phones. Mrs. Garcia says, "There's one chance in a million of winning, first because the tide never turns that way and second because — you probably won't know the answer." Six months ago Ann bought a bottle of Algaederm for $1.00 plus tax because she had been listening to her radio every Wednesday and Friday nights at 6:30 on KVOS (paid political ad) to hear Tom Smith. After buying this bottle she placed it beside the phone a nd "come rain or sunshine or windstorm . . . regardless of what the rest of the world was doing, I glued my ears to the radio." Beans and Crackers On Friday; March 12, 1948 A. D., at 6:30 p. m., just seven days before St. Patrick's day, Ann who is a bit o' Irish was again tuned to the Algaederm. program. "At.this time I was eating chow (Ann is an ex?S/sgt. in the W.A.C.) of beans and crackers," she disclosed, "when brother Smith said we are now calling the Garcia residence at 509 High, telephone 4522-J." "I jes' (she's from the United States of Texas) set there and then all of a sudden it dawned on me it was my number." Her husband Dave and she both leaped from the table and tore for the phone. Tom Smith asked if he was speaking to Mrs, Garcia . . . "Yea, man" she excitedly drawled. After the initial questions he asked for the first line of the general directions on the bottle of Algaederm. "David shoved the bottle, of Algaederm, that is, in my face and X read brother Smith word for word 'eluding the period said instructions," she proudly declared. Shoes for a Texan Further describing the momentous1 incident Ann stated, "With a mad giggle the Algaederm man said, you will receive a check Monday for $20.00 . . . what are you going to do with it?" As her toes wiggled in the cool air she informed him, "Buy me some shoes, man." , '"You too may be a winner, run to your nearest drug store and buy a bottle of Algaederm. Break all dates on Wednesday and Friday nights at 6:30 p. m., and HOPE!" advises Ann Garcia. "P. S. THE CHECK CAME IN MONDAY'S MAIL!" Mural Contributors Receive Approval Widespread approval x gt;f ;:tl*e . i n u^ rals appearing currently in the student lounge have led to plans of further developments of the same type of work announced Miss Hazel Plympton, of the Art department this week. Donna Reinholt and Lucy Christopher will shortly contribute* a theme on the lounge which will be done in chalk. Other works being done in chalk are by Joan Shields, using "Around School" as the theme, and a mural on a "Hearts and Clubs" theme by Bettyjane Christie and Betty McLeod. Murals made of cut paper, like the ones currently on display, will be presented by.Ed Brown, who is doing one using basketball for his theme; a work on football by Stewart Compton, and a development of girls athletics by Sophia Shaffert. Rounding off the girls sports activities as portrayed by cut paper murals will be a work which is being completed by Rosalie Stoerchle. First Steps Taken Concerning Entry In Blossom Parade With $100 tentatively budgeted by the college administration, the first steps were formulated Friday at a joint faculty-student meeting concerning WWC's participation in the Bellingham Blossom Festival, scheduled for the first week in May. Barbara Ritchie was unanimously acclaimed general chairman of this group which will be responsible, in general, for the plans and construction of an entry in this traditionally beautiful blossom-time parade. "The city administration is very desirous of establishing a closer degree of co-ordination and co-operation with the college," Dr. M. F. Kuder told the planning group," and I feel that this participation can prove to be an important step in that direction." Miss Ritchie and Dick K i ng stressed the need for a parade entry that would do justice, to the second largest industry in Bellingham. Student members meeting Friday included: Barbara Ritchie, Dick King, Phyllis Armstrong, Catherine Redmond and Vern Matthews. Other faculty members attending besides Dr. Kuder were Victor Hoppe and Miss Nora B. Cummins. No Work Cessation For College Staff As Students Relax Vacation begins, but all work does not end at WWC. The food laboratory is to be completed and the spasmodic use of the new heating plant will end. I t is to run steadily when classes commence on March 29. The old plant will be used for storage space and the towering stack will be removed by contractors. Plans for redecoration of the Library are also to be completed. President W. W. Haggard and the college board of trustees will meet March,23 to set the date for the beginning of this work. ; ;': The Registrar's office will also be occupied sending out those A's and B's.

Report Emphasizes How WWC's Lounge Rates "We are slightly.behind other colleges in regard to our student lounge facilities," members of the Board of Control were told by one of their members, following a recent inspection tour of two eastern Washington colleges. The subsequent details of her report only emphasize too well exactly how far we are behind other institutions so far as student recreation centers are concerned. Eastern Washington College has converted an old building into a popular meeting place for the students. The lunchroom, operated as a concession, pours over $100 monthly into the ASB coffers. A fire place, rooms for private parties and banquets, and comfortable equipment, are only a few of their many advantages. In contrast, at WWC we have two bottle dispensing machines to serve as fountain and lunchroom. Despite the monetary advantages of such an improvement nothing concrete has developed that encourages us.to feel that we will ever have such an enterprise operating in our present lounge. Organizations are forced to go off campus to hold private parties, dances or other social events if they are to continue after 9:30 p. m. Whitworth College has a student meeting place that no one need be ashamed of. The building, which is open from 9:30 a. m. to 3:00 p. m., daily, and from 7 to 9 p. m., also houses a snack bar, booths, a piano, and fire place. The Board representative reports that " . . . in her opinion it was a very popular place, especially for out-of-town students." Steps in the right, direction have been taken by the Board of Control and the Art department. New furniture, although lacking in quantity, murals for the walls, and other improvements have taken a little of the "coldness out of the atmosphere." • Steps, up until now, have been taken in too short strides.. Students have a right to say to the Board of Control, "You are spending our money; now give us-something that we can put our finger on for a change." Mysterious Thieves Abscond With Local Scandal Sheet Far be it from us to, register disapproval for the manner in which WWC students have complimented our journalistic endeavors. Also, equally far be it from us to appear so desirous of your patronage that we must lay down regulations on the manner in which the WWCollegian is distributed each week, (ie. handing it out personally, one at a time). But, it appears that the twig is being bent in that direction. There are enough WWCollegians printed each week to give every subscriber ONE copy (paid for through student fees) per week. If it is wrapping paper, or fire paper, that you need, come up and we will give you enough material to care for your immediate needs. Incidentally, while we are on the subject of newspapers, a minor crime wave (concerning the repeated loss of our copy of the local newspaper from trie front door).has got to come to a screaming halt. We will gladly loan impoverished faculty and student members our copy . . . after we are finished with it. However, this problem will be coped with adequately in the future: one staff member, an expert in demolitions and booby traps/has been assigned to the detail. Someone is going to get a bang out of this. oil the Kecohjb . . . by wolf Three newly inducted soldiers from the Ozarks approached 'the information desk at a St. Louis YMCA and asked what the "Y" offered. They were told they could write letters, read magazines, visit the game rooms. They didn't show much interest until they were told, "There's swimming also in the basement." Then the trio moved a few feet away, engaged in animated argument. Finally one returned to the desk. "Did you say," he inquired earnestly, "that there wuz wimmen in the basement?" * * * * BONERS The Indians traveled in birch bark canoes on little streams of water which they made themselves . . .

She graduated from Bellingham High in 1944, and has, attended WWC for four years. She will receive her degree at the end of summer quarter and will teach primary grades in Vancouver, Wash. When asked how she liked WWC she replied: "I like it, I'm very fond of it—ugh!" then smiling, she said, "seriously though, I love it; the nearer I get to graduation, the better I like it."

Pat Bornstein was in charge of the refreshment which were served after swimming was over. The orange punch and cookie really hit the spot, too . . .

Daniels Hall Several of the fellows here at Daniels have been warming up the arm for baseball season. There is plenty of space for playing catch here but a messed catch provides for a little track practice —running to the end of High street chasing the ball. Several of the friendly faces will be missing from 'Daniels next quarter. It seems that they are entering the fishing industry. If Steve Reeves doesn't take it a little easier up on Mount Baker, he will be leaving us going another direction. (Which way are you going Steve?) Before the spring fever or the Ides of March catch me, I'm going to start studying for those final tests. 'Salute To Rhythm' Dance Program Is Next Assembly Archesis, honorary dance organization of Oregon State College will present a program "Salute to Rhythm," April 2 in the college auditorium at 10:00. All of the dances presented have been composed at O.S.C., and each solo or duet is the original work of the dancer or dancers presented in it. The other dances are a collaboration of the dancers appearing in it. In some instances a dance is worked out and then music fitted to it; in others a song has been set to dance. Other of the dances are worked out to fit the meaning and rhythm of spoken words. Miss Helen Poling is accompanist for the group and Miss Betty Lynd Thompson is director and takes part in the group dances. Archesis is composed of O.S.C.V students who have an interest in modern dance. A student is eligible only after having studied one and one-half years of dance, having met requirements, and been voted in.

Coach Lappenbusch has gone to the Board of Control and received 24 dollars for a ski trip to Mount Baker. The Board seems willing to help finance the "ski team" in further expeditions. This was accomplished only after a great deal of publicity and effort. Now the time has come to turn ab,out. Twice Western's skiers have participated in meets; one was intramural and the other a four way deal. In the latter, held at M. B., the College had ow/y four contestants. A fine showing! Is this the kind of a showing, you are proud of? The closed week-end isn't a very good excuse; there are as many activities then as on other week-ends. But that is beside the point. If you really want a ski team you will have to work on it, and work hard. You know the old line of gab and how it goes. T-his quarter, the last of the skiing season, was to be the testing ground for a College ski team. Unless a good showing was made the possibilities of having a ski team •next year would be very slim. By the looks of things there isn't going to be a Western element at the big meet at Stevens this week-end. If this is passed up, there will have to be some more intramural meets at Baker to more or less "save face," or we can write finis to any future College ski team prospects.

Carver Gets Racket Squad Set Up for First Meet, April 9 Western Washington's c o l l e ge tennis squad is taking shape rapidly for the coming spring quarter's battles on the courts. April 9 will be the first game tor the Western tennis squad. They will compete against the University of British Columbia team in a combined tennis and golf match at Vancouver. This match will be the first fo the season's games and should prove to be an eye opener to what Western will have on the courts for the balance of the season's schedule. This warm, sunny spring weather has brought cut prospective players, and has given them a chance to work out the kinks and show just what skill they have in tapping the ball across that midcourt net. Returning letter-men for this year's team are Bob Meyer, Paul Foster, Ken Brand and Milt Orphan. Other experienced non-lettermen out for the squad this year include; George Sutherland, Dan Northcut, Bill Burton, Charles Borden,. Pete Hansen, Harold Smith, Eugene, Carson, Bar-n e y Yorkston, Harold Jacobseri, Charles Talmadge, and Don Fink.

Next Year May See Ski Team By BILL BAKER What has happened this winter quarter in the world of sports? At Western Washington there is slight notice of rejuvenation in the athletic program to coincide with our new era program. The ski team has taken over the spotlight along this line by fielding inter-college competition in the barrel-stave sport. (See ski story on this page). This is the type of a program that will pay off in the long run, with the right kind of publicity we will see many new ski enthusiasts within our ranks next year. It seems that swimming too has reached an all time high in the interest cycle. At the late intramural swim meet the pool was packed with spectators as well as contestants. Some fine times were set. It would be good to see some of those times compete with other colleges. Maybe next year—. At the University of Washington the winter quarter has given much reason for hilarity. Maybe it was the luck of the Irish that brought the university out on top of the coast league, or possibly it was the new basketball coach. One thing that certainly is luck is the fact that Jack Nichols, center for the Huskies, will be able to play in the Kansas City playoffs. As for prep ball, North Central, a little quintet from out Spokane way, can be well satisfied with their casaba artistry in the state tourney. Mount Baker, our own neighborhood prepsters, came through for a fine showing in the finals, making the best of the Seattle league look sick. North Central Cops Wash. State Title By CECIL THOMAS North Central's 42-37 tally over Bremerton last Saturday night in Seattle's Edmunson pavilion gave the Spokane quintet first place honors in the • Washington State high school basketball tournament of 1948. The loss handed Bremerton fitted them into the second place slot in the tournament standings while South Kitsap gained third place honors by whipping Mount Baker 42-33. The loss dropped Baker' to sixth in the standings; Garfield nosed out Central PPPPP

College Issues Call For Bids On Art Building Calls for bids on the construction of the new Arts building will be issued early 4n April according to President W. W. Haggard who received word this week that the building plans will be ready late this month. Both the Industrial and regular Art departments will be located in the new building. Trustees are now purchasing adjoining property as a site for the proposed Music building. $1,100,000 has been set aside for the two buildings. "Plans for a building housing a new college auditorium will not be realized until at least a year from September," said President Haggard. Also included in the spring building and improvement plans is the redecorating of the Library Reading room walls, and installation of more stacks for book storage. Plans for these improvements have been approved and the details are being worked out. Legion Honored By Music Department WWC's Music department will present a program for the Ameri c a n L e g i o n Monday evening, March 15. Those who' have been selected to participate in this program are: Norma Jean Swan who will play a violin solo, "Rondino," by Vieux-temps; Lynn Beeler,' singing "Valse Brilliante," by Wiedoft; Duane Lewis singing "'Neopolitan Love Song," by Herbert; and Patricia Wright who will sing "Maids of Cadiz," by Del-ibes. "A Horn Concerto. First Movement," by Strauss will be played on the French Horn by Maurice Cary. Accompanists for the program will be Barbara McGinnes. Zona Dav-arin, Marjorie Westerlund. and Siva Marmon. And the Balloons Went Up Photo by Bernie Lepcska The feel that was heard around the ball room at the ninth annual PUBLICATIONS PROM was the first timid massage that some unidentified hand applied to the huge cellophane champagne glass filled with balloons which dominated the decorated dancing room. The inevitable, and thoroughly enjoyed, result is portrayed for posterity in the above on-the-spot photograph. Even Prom Priness Lois, and her escort Jim Kent, (direct center) were in on the bang up affair. Week-End Closed to Permit Cramming Another closed week-end has rolled around and it's time fcr that last minute cramming that inevitably comes just before the final exams. All student houses will lock their doors at midnight, an hour earlier than usual on Friday and Saturday nights. No special permissions for out-of-town trips will be given. "Regular club meetings will be held," stated Dean Lorraine Powers, "but no parties or dances mny be staged." A Word To The Wise Is Sufficient Library Rules Exam Schedule Piano Solos Served as Caviar To General' Students—Hicks Students who missed hearing George Chavchavdze, renowned Russian- American pianist, in his Tuesday evening's program are offered a note-by-note account as interpreted by Dr. Arthur C. Hicks. For those of you who attended this program this article is designed to serve as a souvenir of a distinguished artist that you have been privileged to hear. The WWCol-legian will continue, in the future, to give you critical reviews by competent authorities of highlighted programs. Student critic talent will be used when available. By DR. ARTHUR C. HICKS George Chavchavadze presented Tuesday evening a program of piano music quite as formidable as his name before an audience of the musical elect,'the size of which demonstrated that the piano as a solo instrument is caviar to the general run of students at WWC. The artist certainly deserved a larger house. In the first place, he looks like a pianist in the great romantic tradition of Liszt and Chopin. A model of sartorial elegance, tall, slim, handsome, with dark, classic features, he was a glamorous figure that must —— have set many young feminine hearts a flutter. More important, he played'the piano with distinguished artistry. He captured his audience with the opening bars of that most serene and genial of Beethoven Sonatas, the "Waldstein." He brought out the vigor and poetry of the work, setting the varied moods in high relief, from the animated first theme through the reposeful second theme and meditative Adagio to the hearty, cheerful, lilting Rondo. The artist seemed particularly at home in the music of that poetic and melancholy Slav, Chopin. He performed no less than ten of the Preludes, including the intricate, pensive one in C sharp minor, Opus 45, . the . murmurous G major, the stormy F major, the song-like A major, the brooding E flat minor, and the stern and rugged D minor with 'it's wide-meshed accompaniment, cascading double notes, and three booming bass tones at the end. The familiar Nocturne in F sharp major had the proper atmosphere, and the A flat major Polonaise the heroic quality so pathetically absent from the sentimental popular song based on this glorious work. In the latter half of his program the artist played only recent and contemporary composers, with the exception of Schumann. He treated the "Papillons" of the latter with subtlety and imagination, evoking the characteristic figures and the gay spirit of a carnival or masked ball in a medium of the most infectious waltz and polonaise rhythms. ...iA work of special interest was t he Suite on themes from De Falla's "El Amor Brujo," as arranged ,by Mr. Chavchavadze himself. This was filled with exotic rhythms and expressed many moods ranging from languor to frenzy. As interpreted by the artist it had the effect of a tonal drama with a tremendous climax. The Soviet composer Khachatur-ian was represented by the extraordinarily brilliant and sonorous To- ' ccatta. The last two numbers were Spanish—the fiery and lyrical "Cordova" by Albeniz and Lecuona's vigorous and impassioned "Malaguena." For encore Mr. Chavchavadze played the "Ritual Fire Dance," which was a very welcome supplement to the De Falla suite. HERRICK REPRESENTS WWC AT LIBRARIANS MEET Miss Mildred Herrick, Librarian, represented the college March 6 at a meeting of the Northwest District Library Association on the campus of the University of Washington, Seattle.

Light Schedule Needed For Spring Fever Victims STAFF NOTE: Evidently this spring weather has had a slight unbalancing effect (or maybe he is just becoming balanced now) on the editor. Try and bear with him until his usual state of mental lethargy dominates again, will you, huh?? And in the meantime . . . move over, Ferdinand. Beware. Beware of the Ides of March. Beware. Beware of this and beware of that . . . but, above all beware of those curriculum-laden eyes of Registrar workers. Even though they don't get paid in ratio to the number of credit hours they sell to unsuspecting students you wouldn't know it by their actions. If the truth were known there may be a trace of sadistic impulses surging through their blood streams. In other words . . . it is SPRING. And when spring pokes its timid nose onto the scene of academic endeavors a young mans thoughts wlil just naturally turn to other things than listening to some dull' professor, who v/ishes he was out fishing anyway, spout off on the evolution of man. So don't let the Bluebeards in the aforementioned department talk you into taking more than 12 hours of scheduled classes. Spring is going to be sticking its friendly nose around up on Sehome hill soon too. Did you ever try to study when Sehome hill offers such a sanctuary from which- to study heavenly bodies.1 The grass, the trees, and the flowers will soon be issuing their call for young folks to come enjoy their blessings. Don't let them write more than 12 hours down on your registration blank. There will be a nice moon shining down on Bellingham bay about the time that WWC opens its doors again next quarter. Naturally that moon is going to demand the postponement of such nonsensical things as classes. Habits like that once fostered will prove hard to ^break. That's what we mean when we say . . . only 12 hours please, Miss Registrar. But don't take our advice. Go ahead . . . get loaded . . . but it is your cervical. Senator Kenneth McKellar (D, Tenn.) said Monday that the U. S. should "take the lead" in defending European nations who are still free from Soviet aggression. If the term nation can be understood to include the peoples of a nation, McKellar's opinions evidently are only applicable when pertaining to persons out of the path of "Southern aggression." The Southern Demo leaders, threatened bolt from the Democratic party over President Truman's "civil rights legislation" prove this contention only too well.

The course on educational and vocational guidance is for undergraduates. Six new offerings are primarily designed to meet the needs of graduates working for the degree of master of education. They are: basic education concepts; supervision and improvement of instruction in elementary schools; supervision and improvement of instruction in junior high schools; school finance; advanced problems in remedial education; and applied supervision. Other departments finding it necessary to add new courses because of increased enrollment demands are science, music, psychology, and sociology. Additional new offerings are also announced by the departments of English, economics, industrial arts, home economics, and speech.• .am pus 'ersona lities it We KZCOkb . . . by wolf Poetic Grid Star Well, as the donut said to the loaf of bread, "If I had as much dough as you have, I wouldn't be hanging around this hole!" * * * # A man was arrested recently on suspicion of subversive activities when police found him in a burlesque theater armed with a slingshot and a box of metal staples.

By CHARLOTTE ELLIS Andy "Gumps" Vitaljic is a one-hundred and eighty-six-pound football player rising exactly six feet above the "terra firma." With fun-filled brown eyes and dark brown hair which he wishes were black, he is, of all things, a steady contributor to the Poetry department of the WWCollegian feature page. Looking at this "hunk of man," one would never think he had artistic talents. He revealed in hushed tones that he had no other artistic traits, and when asked if he painted he replied, "Why yes, took an art course at Bellingham High school. One day we were sent out to paint a street scene so I painted a telephone pole, but the art teacher didn't appreciate my masterpiece. After this incident both she and I gave up the hopeless cause." Among the list of his other talents are swimming, riding, football, and ping-pong, at which he claims to be quite a sharpie. When asked if he likes our Northwest sport, skiing, he replied, "I skiied once and darned near broke my neck, but other than that I like, it fine and plan to go again soon to try my luck." Andy is taking a 12 hour Junior High Teacher Training and Coaching course, which consists of speech, math., history and P. E. About his studying he claims, "I study what seems like a lot to me, but the amount of work I do probably wouldn't impress most people." Fishing the three months of every year that cut into summer and fall quarter, Andy is planning to graduate in six years. Next quarter Andy plans to take social dancing to improve his dancing skills and learn how to smoke his pipe, which is giving him a little trouble at the present time. the clouds, shaking hands with Jove.

Ides Become a Superstition Thus the Ides of March, which meant merely the middle of the month to the sun priests or calendar keepers of old Rome, took on a supernatural quality.

Jim Loring has begun a diet of Ry-Krisp and water . . . That boy, George Earl, who won first place in one of the skiing events last Sunday, is a respected mem-her of Hospice . . . If you want to see a cigarette disappear in a handkerchief, see any member of the house. Even Norman Murrey finally caught on and explained it to Duncan McRae, who didn't! . . . Everyone is wondering what Jack Purdy was doing on Sunset hill when he car got stuck in the mud last week. Off-Campus Girls ' Tonight from 7:30 until 9 p. m. is the Off-Campus girls' splash party in the college pool. There will be lots of fun and refreshments for all who attend . . . Everyone seemed to have a good time at the barn dance Saturday night. We saw June Danielson with Graham Bell, and Dolores Christenson dancing with Curt Bach. Also we noticed Pat McGinnis dancing with her tall, good-looking fellow from Lynden . . . Several college students preferred dancing at the Chuckanut Shell to dancing in jeans and plaid shirts at the mixer. Among the couples seen there were Kay Ijenihan and Hank Husby, Gerry Dillon and Glen Berry, and Marion Nattrass and Owen Brown . . . Although this coming week-end is scheduled as "closed week-end" Yvonne West and Jean Sealander still are planning a trip to Mount Baker to go skiing with members of the high school band. College Inn From the look of things around College Inn, spring has sprung, and it's here to stay—we hope! . . . The sun has brought out all t h e amateur photographers, along with hikers, and several games of tennis. (Did that game of tennis last until 10:30 Sunday night, Muffy Symonds?) . . . And right along with spring has come a touch of spring fever . . . Even Laura Ford has been blushing at her letters from Roger . . And Haroldine Ruthruff is in a dither from one day's mail to the next since Bill Kumbera left . . . Our sight-seeing enthusiasts have been touring around the countryside for a "daylight" glimpse of Bellingham! . . . Good luck in your "finals" next week! Edens Hall Term papers and tests are the owners of most of the Edens hall inmates' souls this week. Far into the wee hours of the night, lights' are burning over bent and blurry heads . . . The sunshine seems to be attracting many of our girls. Bev Oman and Bonnie Jo Forhan have been enjoying it in a convertable, while Myrel Hammerud, Marilyn Rimpler, and their friends have been enjoying long walks . . . Another of our flock engaged. Yes, Mary Lou Albert is sporting a beautiful solitare. Congrats Mary Lou! . . . I t seems that the inhabitants of room 102, namely Jo Ann Wear and Charlotte Ellis, had a tough time getting into their closets because some of their former friends (and I do mean former) greased the knobs. Say the two that were tormented by these pranksters: "The punishment for a crime of this caliber is ten lashes with our radio cord while our antiquated alarm clock rings in their ears." SeniorlHall Seen at Senior Hall Barn Dance: Bobby Murray and Lee Bow-den in twin "T" shirts and jeans . . . Heard: Silo Swihgsters hitting the jive and dreamy during intermission . . . Seen in the lounge: Jane Clothier, Jo Rucker, Will Banks, and Phy Baker playing pinochle, constantly . . . They say they're taking a course in loungeology! . . . Seen at Senior hall: Betty Butler's curly locks . . . When asked where she got them she coyly remarked, "I'm clever . . . I did it myself!" . . . Puz King and Jim Kent doing the Balboa in the sunroom . . . June Penn coming back Sunday night mighty tired. It isn't every day you get fifth place in an advanced slalom race at Mount Baker (plug! for the ski team). We also hear that she was the only girl entered—Congrats, June!

Daniels Hall Everything is quiet around Daniels these days. It must be because of the nearness of those final tests and date term papers are due. It seems as though several of the boys had a good time Saturday night; must have been celebrating the completion of a term paper. Well now that basketball season is over and the time for baseball and fastball in not quite here, maybe we can get a little work done in these last two dreaded weeks of school. The lights will probably be burning late for the next two weeks, studying for those final tests. Those term papers also make the lights burn late some nights. Off Campus Women Sponsor Splash Party This Evening Tonight is the night the Off- Campus women have chosen for their splash party to be held in the P. E. building pool. Swimming and games will begin at 7:30, and will continue until 9:00. During the evening refreshments- will be. served. Gerieral chairman for the affair is Lesley Case.. Assisting her as com- • mittee chairmen are: food commit-, tee, Pat Bornstein and Marion Hardin; publicity, June Danielson; program, Rosemary Provost; invitations, Nancy Merrick and Ruth Norman; and clean-up, Joanne Gar-bareno. Albert-Taylor Plan Nuptials Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Albert of Buckley, Washington, announce the recent engagement of their daughter, Mary Lou, to Donald H. Taylor, the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. V. Taylor of Seattle. Both students are enrolled in teacher training courses. Mary Lou is a member of Blue Triangle while her fiance belongs to the Scholarship Society. The couple plan to be married during spring vacation. College Men Give Pros and Cons College men have very definite ideas on how a woman should act when she is his date. Last month a group of students from Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Wesleyan, University of Virginia, Dartmouth, and Am-hearst reported to the editors of JUNIOR BAZAAR what they honestly admire and frankly do not like in a date. Whether it is a bid to 'the' formal of the year or a casual coke and movies affair, the boys want a prompt yes or no to their invitations. Only a major catastrophe is considered a valid excuse for a last minute cancellation. A girl must be able to hold up her end of the conversation. The wise girl ups her "dateability" by familiarizing herself with recent sports events. JUNIOR BAZAAR states: "You might have a couple of reasonably good, clean jokes on tap f o r difficult moments. Off-color jokes and truck-driver language do not give you an aura of sophistication. They either discomfort your date or confuse his chaste mental image of you. The boys want their dates to get along with other women, but abhor the chattering and shrieking among girls they've observed in some of their classes. Girls that make a play for their date's best friend hit a new-low in everyone's opinion. A college man often turns his room over to the girl he has invited for a houseparty or week-end. "If he comes back to it Monday morning to find lipstick on the bureau cover, cigarette holes in the bed spread, and his favorite necfctie, banner, or college trophy missing (she wanted a souvenir), there will be no return engagement," s a ys JUNIOR BAZAAR. On a date—any date—daring extremes in behavior as well as dress are out. Common sense and good taste are in. GIRLS FROM THREE COUNTIES TO PARTICIPATE IN HIGH SCHOOL PLAYDAY APRIL 9 Girls from the high schools in Whatcom, Skagit, and San Juan counties will be on the campus April 9, for the annual WRA high school playday. Volleyball, relays, swimming, and a campus tour are included in the list of activities for the day. Bellingham High school was victorious last Tuesday in the competition with the WWC Lions and the Forest Inn five. The BHS seniors won by a score of 23-17 over Forest Inn, with Lois Spearin, BHS, totaling 12 points. The high school juniors defeated the WWC Lions, 18-10; Barbara Jewell, BHS, high with 12 points. Winners of the WRA intramural basketball tournament are: Forest Inn, taking first place honors; Lions, in second position; and Wooz-les following in third. Couple Plan Spring Wedding WHEN YOU DESIRE Transportation 2-Way Radio Telephone Phone 63 CITY TAXI Gloria Carey Reports On Eastern Meeting "We are slightly behind other colleges in regard to our student lounge facilities," commented Gloria Carey in her report to the Board of Control on her trip to Eastern Washington college. Miss Carey went on to explain that the student lounge at Eastern is in an old building which has been converted into a popular meeting place for students. The building, supported by the associated students, includes a lunchroom, operated as a concession, for which the student body receives $100 a month. It has a fountain and Pretty Mary Lou Albert will become the brde of Donald H. Taylor at a spring wedding in Buckley. Both are students of WWC. Preview of College Fashions Shown to High School Girls Twenty-four Western co-eds previewed college fashions at the High School Leaders conference, held at WWC March 5. Under the guidance of Mary Lou Borchardt, wearing apparel was divided into five groups including school, sports, street, date, and formal wear. A soft aqua-blue dress with gold buttons was modeled by June Danielson. Worn with flat heeled black shoes, the costume was suitable for classes and coke dates. Bonnie Jo Forhan was more casual in a royal blue wool skirt, cherry sweater, and » . ^ _-_..—, knitted head band.of royal blue. CLUB NOTES Sport clothes included ski, tennis, and lounging togs. Janet Harris appeared in navy blue ski pants with a clever plaid jacket. Carrying a tennis racquet. Margaret Erickson wore a shorts and skirt ensemble of green trimmed in dusty rose. • In a simple black suit with matching accessories, Arlene Swanson presented a picture of street wear suitable for the co-ed. The suit was made with fitted jacket, a single row of small buttons adding a decorative touch. Joan McLane teamed a blue suit with a cart-wheel hat of spotless white. Matching white gloves completed the effect. An important part of every college girl's wardrobe, the date-dresses shown occasioned much interest. Shirley Haggbloom wore a l o w - necked black dress with ballet length circular skirt. The severity of line and color was off-set by silver ballet slippers and a sparkling. rhine-stone ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 March 12 - Page 4 ---------- P^Sp-PSfi^S Western Washington College of Education; BeHingham, Washington Friday/March 12, 1948 ^bialqld ^thxm Ike Sencli » ~j . . . by peters Even though they were hampered by injuries, the college finally had a intramural ski meet at Mount Baker last Sunday. The weather was perfect as were the snow conditions. The comment most heart of the Austin run was, "rough!" Garth Buchanan set some course up there! Still the runs will be a lot tougher this week-end when the college skiers meet with the UBC in a four-way meet. UBC is taking care of the officials and they will see to it that the course is set up; however, they will not do it themselves. Nice going gang, lots of luck this Sunday! CHANGE THAT RECORD Not only did the Washington Huskies qualify to reign over the Northern division of the PCC and thus gain the right to tackle the kings of the Southern division—California—at Berkeley, but one of their players set two all-time high scoring records. As if his 39 points for one game wasn't enough, Jack Nichols, the Husky captain, climbed a notch above the record set by.Vince Hanson of WCE in 1945. Nichols' 265 tallies hurdled by 12 points the former record of 253. The night before he had broken Red Rocha's single game scoring mark by one point. All of this happened last week-end when the Huskies met the Idaho Vandals on Friday and Saturday nights. * While all of this was going on in the Northwest the Stanford Indians spoiled a perfect ball season for the U of California by beating the Southern division champs 49-45. Col had won 11 straight conference games. If they had won that last game they . would have been the first Southern division team to rack up an undefeated season. * HEAR AND THEIR , Gus Lesnevich dropped Billy Fox in 1:58 in Madison Square Garden . . .

But getting back to the swim meet, it seems that Sehome house came through in the male group with a high of 19 points.

Over in the far corner, Dave Langdon is getting all set to employ that winning form of his. • Thinclads Will Start Real Work Soon With all of "the warm weather coming out around the campus the past few days conies plenty of turnout and exercise for the track squad. Although the track turnout has not been full by any means yet, when the squad reports back after spring vacation in a couple of weeks most of the class-schedules will then be regularly organized so there will be no class conflicts'. Most of the turnouts are still centered around running and limbering-up exercises although some javelin and pole-vault practice has been held. Some starts .have also been practiced in the various cinder events. Track shoes were fitted and checked out the first of the week so that the men can get the gradual feel of their footing in the various events. Although there is still a variety of shoes left, anyone planning on being out for an event should place his call for shoes soon so as to get a good fit. Is Western Behind In Their Sports? By BILL BAKER Western Washington College is not taking advantage of the opportunities at hand in the realm of sports. Sports to a college is just like taxes to a government; it is a big source of income. If some, of the people that are always complaining about putting out cash for athletic equipment would consider this maybe something could be done about the situation. Smokers Pay Cash Boxing, for instance, is one of the most popular, as well as one of the oldest sports in America. If the ring sport was developed at Western, one smoker would take care of the cost, and add popularity as well as entertainment to our list of activities. Western is far behind in activities of this kind. Wrestling too could find a place in our athletic schedule. A ski bus stood in the way in our struggle with the powers-that-be for a ski team, although we are still in there pitching. If boxing and other sports were developed the gate from them could easily take care of such necessities. In the last Board of Control election one of the candidates, platform was to cut red tape. He didn't get elected: if a -little tape cutting could be done in the right direction maybe some of these points could be taken care of. New Era Is Here These are subjects for every member of the student body to think about and do something about. We are not just a small teachers college up in the northern section of the state any more. Our curriculum as well as our student body has grown; let our sports program grow too. 20th Century Bowling Center HOURS: 12:00 Noon Until'7:00 p. m.

The loss gave the Mountaineers second place while the 35-33 defeat placed on Arlington by the Everett Seagulls gave the Gulls the third place slot and a chance to compete in the State games at Seattle this week. When the tournament got underway'on Monday night of last week, eight teams were qualifying for berths at the State meet. These in- . eluded Nooksack Valley. Snohomish, Mount Baker.

We almost made that same mistake. Please accept from us our wholehearted vote of approval for the manner in which the Board of Control has handled t h e business of 1140 students throughout this past year. You have, by the inauguration of your n e w financing system, strengthened the foundation which will continue to support student government in a stable, business like manner. * * * I t was George Bernard Shaw t h a t remarked: "Those who can do, those wh« can't, teach." After watching crew after crew of student teachers in action we begin to get the feeling that "Those w h o can, teach, those who can't, sit around in an isolated vacuum making wisecracks about those w h o can." * * * Our whol e-h e a r t e d thanks to the students and organizations who h a v e participated so actively in any campus activity that they were assigned to. The habits you learn in college are so often carried out into civic life. More and more the American businessman a n d various institutions are demanding employees that will take an active part in c i v ic functions. Many of you have already begun to accept extra-curricular duties . . . many o t h e rs could well become aware of their deficiencies along these lines. * * * . S I G N S OF EDUCATION: Bellingham h i gh pranksters received a sharp reprimand from s c h o ol authorities this week for leaving their mark on Bellingham high. They put a cow inside the building; a goat to keep the c ow company; c h i c k e n s to mother the eggs that professors had been laying all year; w r o t e inscriptions over the walls; and, in general upset the decorum of the institution.

Vol. XLIV— No. 3-1 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Lounge Plans To Undergo Slight Revision Publication Members Wind Up"Musicians Will M. A. Candidate ^TmTpians Year's Work With Banquet Attend Banquet Friday, June 4, 1948 By ARLENE That the original have been dropped and that a new student facilities center will be built in the future music "building was announced last week by Gus Pagels, chairman of the Student Center Planning committee. All equipment in the new recreational center will be purchased by the students. Rather than spend a large sum of money redecorating the original lounge, Dr. W. W. Haggard feels that the money should be used for installations in the new place. "The administration has allotted the ASB 3600 square feet in the basement of the new music building which will be completed in 1949," stated Pagels. "It will be student controlled." Arrangements for the old lounge are temporary, according to Pagels. Plans include the selling of coffee and donute, ice cream and candy. Tables will continue to be used instead of the proposed booths. Renovation of the old lounge shall be completed before the fall quarter, added Pagels. Business transactions w i l l be handled by Mr. Earle of the Co-op. "No money will be handled in the lounge," Pagels concluded, "all trading will be done by scripbooics, purchased at the Co-op." Six New Profs Signed for '49 WWC. in order to accommodate its expansion program, is constantly adding new instructors to its staff. The latest appointees were notified at the Board of Trustees' last meeting. John A. Liedtke, University of •Washington, will teach physics; Helen Gillham, University of Washington, will be positioned in the Campus Elementary school; James Davenport, University of Washington, economics instructor; Ruth Kelsey, University of California, Art instructor; John D. Porter, Colorado State College of Education, will be supervisor of student teaching and certain technique courses; Lawrence Brewster, University of Iowa, will instruct speech. Over 70 members of Western Washington college's Publications division and their honored guests were present for the annual Klipsun and WWCollegian banquet held in the Rose room of the Leopold hotel last evening. Following the turkey dinner, master of ceremonies, Vern D. Matthews, WWCollegian editor, introduced all guests and former staff members. I n cluded in the ceremony were addresses by Dr. Haggard, Miss Nora Cummins, Halldor Karason, and Mrs. Ruth Burnet, faculty adviser. - Other events announced during the course of the evening included presentation of honors to Dr. Arthur Hicks, and Dr. Frank D'Andrea, who were adjudged by the paper staff as having been the most cooperative faculty members of gt; t he year. Winners of t he Clarence Soukup trophy for outstanding work done as cub-reporters were, George Dowd, fall quarter; Patricia Dodd, winter quarter; and Harry Pagels, spring quarter. WWCollegian pins were awarded and the traditional scroll was signed by members who have completed three quarters work on the staff. George Dowd, editor of the WWCollegian for the 1948-49 year, presented editor Vern Matthews with an engraved cigarette lighter. Pearl Hofman, next year's editor of t he Klipsun, gave Betty McLeoa a Shaefer fountain, pen. Both presents were purchased with funds contributed by the respective staffs. Betty McLeod, editor of the Klipsun, announced that Pearl Hofman was the winner of the Rosemary Bolster trophy for outstanding work during the college year. Bernie Lepeska took possession of the coveted Photographers plaque, for having taken the outstanding photo in the yearbook. Klipsun pins were awarded deserving staff members of that division of publication too. All publications members were given a sneak preview of the closely guarded annual when the banquet adjourned. Outstanding musicians from the high schools of western Washington will be the honored guests of the WWC Music department Thursday, June 10. These musicians, who are expected to attend WWC in the fall, will r e hearse with the band in the afternoon. A swimming party in the college pool is scheduled for the late afternoon, with a banquet in the Edens hall dining room at 6 p. m. Br. Frank D'Andrea and the string quartet will give a short musical program at the dinner. Runestrand Elected I CC President At their final meeting of the year the Interclub council elected Art Runestrand to the presidency of that organization for the coming 1948-49 college year. Others named for office include: Bob Bain, vice-president; Madeline House, recording secretary; and Harriet Lang, corresponding secretary. The council is composed of presidents of all campus organizations and is responsible for their programs and social affairs. Highline Educators Ask Pay Boost Faced with the inability to meet rising living costs, teachers of the Highline school district have requested a salary raise from a $2,680 yearly minimum to $3,600 as the base pay and $5,200 as the yearly maximum. They have also asked for a yearly increment for experience and service. In a letter to the WEA asking the organization's support of the petition, it was stated that the low professional wage standard is one reason for the present teacher shortage. The letter was accompanied by a list cf annual average earnings of tradesmen, (hod-carriers, $37906), which showed the pay of educators, (average, $3,771), to range from between $100 and $200 to over $1,000 below that of the tradesmen.

WORTHYLAKE (WWC English Department) With finals looming forebodingly on gt;next week's horizon, and with a closed weekend ahead, books are of major interest to every student on the campus. However, today there is one book which is being perused to the exclusion of all textbooks—the new Klipsun—Book of the Year. There is a thrill in opening a new book, in sniffing the delightful aroma of printer's ink and leather. There is particular pleasure in opening this year's Klipsun for i t is packed with interesting photographs from its attractive angle-shot picture on the cover .to the end papers portraying a breath-taking snow scene. What should a good, year book contain? I t should hold a record of the year's important events, sports, activities. It should have pictures, both posed and casual.

The following program was outlined to be striven for: 1. To provide an organ of information that would present all of the news desired by those who are actively interested in the institution—students, faculty, administration, parents and alumni. 2. To provide an organ for the expression of student thought and to" unify ideals and objectives. 3. To promote and encourage worthy college activities. 4. To create a wholesome college spirit and to support the institution's best traditions. 5. To record in permanent form the history of the institution. We offer our thanks to the many persons who have helped to put this year's paper in the hall for distribution each week. To the local merchants whose advertising dollars have played such a vital part in the financing of this publication, and to the Board of Control who apportioned us our share of student dollars, we say thanks. To students and faculty members who have contributed so much news that at times it was impossible to print it all on four pages we have a very special vote of thanks. To the Bellingham Herald, and to. Fred Eck of Art- Craft Engraving company, we are indebted. It fakes a special paragraph to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of our printers who live "just seventeen steps from the city center," and of the 'patience and perserverance of our faculty adviser, Mrs. Ruth Burnet. Our printers survived a weekly invasion of their busy shop that was worse than the story that history tells of Sherman's march t h r o u gh Georgia. Yearly, they and Mrs. Burnet undergo the same nerve-racking experience; in the fall a crew of neophyte journalists descend on them; in the spring they finally attain a resemblance of a staff, but, the year ends and they are forced to start over. That is enough to make one throw up his hands and start herding sheep for a living. There comes a time in every editor's life when he must say farewell to his staff. To merely say that this year's staff of voluntary members was a competent one would be a gross understatement. Few college editors are privileged to work with such a willing crew. What the complete crew lacked in experience was overcome by long hours of diligent iabor. In addition to maintaining grade point averages that other students would covet, each member of the 1948 WWCollegian contributed, gratis, an estimated 320 hours of extra-curricular work to this newspaper. Seldom in college do so few contribute so much. Next year's editor, George Dowd, now associate editor, will take over the journalistic reins when fall quarter beckons. Dowd is an experienced, earnest newsman. The student body and faculty can make his position ah easier one if they will continue to support the WWCoilegian as they have in years past. What more could an editor ask.

Irate IRC Member Reprimands IRQ Students and Paper Dear Editor: I am ordinarily one of the reasonably quiet type, but there are a couple of points I would like to have printed. On Tuesday, June 1, 1948, the college was honored by the presence of one of the greatest personalities of the year, in the person of Mr. Wesley F. Rennie. This celebrity was, in -turn, heard by somewhat less than ten per cent of the student body. It is my understanding that the students pay for these assemblies in the form of fees. I haven't the time just now to figure the cost per capita, but I will wager that if anyone of those people who did not attend the lecture, would be shortchanged by so much as a nickle in his coffee bill at the Viking, during that same assembly hour, the proprietors of that honorable establishment would never hear the last of it. What makes matters worse is this! Mr. Rennie was the guest of the International Relations c l u b at a luncheon at Edens hall and was greeted there by about half of the club membership. As far as I was able to tell, the luncheon was not covered by any of your staff, AT LEAST TWO OF WHOM ARE MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB! I don't know what recommendations can be made on the basis of that sort of reporting, but-1 truly believe that the incident is the worst faux pas that any of your embryo journalists have, thus far, stumbled into. Sincerely, NEIL M. JOHNSTON. Ed Note: We don't understand that "faux pas" stuff, but doubt if it is a complimentary term. Anyway, post, hoc, ergo, propter hoc, such inefficiency will be dealt with severely. 119 West Magnolia St. STATIONERY - PRINTING "The Union Has It" UNION PRINTING CO. 1421 Cornwall Phone 1264 AFTER THE SHOW OR GAME Eat at MAC'S Closed Tuesdays 1215 Maple Phone 6488 Indiana Professor Classifies II Types of Students By GLEN WOLF An interesting and unusual character description of college students comes from a professor at DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana. He writes as follows: 'After 15 years of lecturing in a typical liberal arts college, one collects an astonishing array of interesting types. Several weeks ago, after a delightful dinner of crabmeat and pickles they all returned to haunt me: '1. The athletic type—The academic processes hold no terrors for the hero of the gridiron. His fraternity brothers have a complete file of my class lecture notes and examinations. It's a rare treat to find him in class. So nice of him to come. "2. The playboy type—The morning after finds him in class in his roomates shoes on the wrong feet. He drops his pipe, but never quite recovers it. I hand it to him after class. "3. The academic type—Probably the most objectionable of all. The head is attached to the spine on a hinge and1 nods back and forth during the entire lecture and the mouth and eyes utter continually, 'Yes, professor. Yes, professor.' "4. The negative type—'AH right brother, you put me in this class now just try to teach me something. You would put me in the front row.' I can hear him uttering under his breath, 'For gosh sakes, let's get this over.' "5. The lovey-dovey type—Must be taken together for they are inseparable as two Siamese twins. Hearts and music, violets and poetry, these two love birds are majoring in Marriage and the Family. "6. Camouflage—He always brings an armload of books to class to impress me, I guess. The boys are on to him, however, and someone is always picking on him. At the moment he's sitting on a tack and trying to get someone's feet off his back. "7. The popular type—She had four fraternity pins this semester, three last, and spends her class hour twisting the ends of her beautiful hair. This little stunt is sure to drive any instructor insane. "8. The wholesome type—Wears what every college girl should wear, acts like every college girl should act and talks like every college girl should talk—constantly. She's at it now. "9. The clock watcher—I suppose she has wound her watch three times already. She always starts shuffling her feet and putting on her coat about 15 minutes before the end of the class. "10—The sexy type—This would-be campus queen just loves the boys, all the boys, all the time. She doesn't care what the other girls think of her clothes, they're just jealous. "11. The Tardy type—Always bursts into the room in the middle of your most important statements. Of course, her seat is taken and the battle begins in earnest."

Marge Kingsley and Dolly McArthur hold the titles of "Miss Red Skin of HV" this week, but Berdell Smith and Lynn Shannon are running close seconds. It seems that Meredith and Art had a little fuss this week—still scared of bees Meredith? Most of us went home for the long weekend, all except Gayle Gerard who had to be different and come back after a two weeks absence from our sacred portals. Clarice Smith finally got paid and since money burns a hole in her pocket, she spent it on record albums; LOVE that long-hair stuff. Carol Erickson finally decided to take in a day of school. When introduced to a Sigma Nu boy from the University who asked, "Do you go to college?" Carol non-chantly replied, "Occasionally!" Arlene Swanson and Pauline Roser are busy writing term papers while Martha Monaghan and Rosie Roberts are cheering because they're almost out of school for good. Georgia'"and Viola are still downstairs—they are privileged to hear the gentle pit-pat of 100 horses above them, or so it seems; and finally, Connie Martin finally got to go out, NO MORE CAMPUSES! Hurrah! Hospice Inn Nearly everyone here spent the weekend at home. There were some exceptions, however, Jack Driver, who hails from Woodland, Wash., couldn't get home. The floodwaters have left Woodland fourteen feet under. Most of .the Friday Harbor crew stayed here for the weekend so things werenVtoo quiet- Jim Loring mustered courage enough to dive into the icy waters of Birch Bay. Doug Baily and Charles Dyer still hadn't found their way back to Hospice Tuesday morning. Hospice men are looking forward to the annual house picnic next Tuesday. William Hale was discovered using his head this week; for driving nails, that is. Jim Erickson spent the weekend in pedal-pushers. Fortunately there were a few Hospice men who returned from their weekend looking refreshed and ready to tackle next week's finals. Edens Hall Here is the home of color and light—and I'm NOT kidding. The color is the lovely (ouch) sunburns the girls returned with and the light is due to finals approaching—but fast. The girls are studying finally! . . . This was a lonesome weekend with about 30 girls remaining here. When you sighted someone in the halls it was practically a family reunion because the nice weather called the inmates to the roof or beaches . . . Gerry Woodward spent the weekend studying but managed a sunburn too! . . . A coke machine that has Pepsi-Cola, rootbeer and orange was installed. This will save the girls many trips to Mr. "Pinchpenny" Dwelly's store . . . Roma May had a surprise bridal shower in the Club Room last week. The shower was given by her roommate Jeannine Guy. About 14 guests attended. Mel should have lots to eat because she got three cookbooks . . . Attention camera fiends—Jean Seelye's box camera is really a "long range" camera traveling incognito . . . The girls are sleepy due to the prolonged weekend and Daylight Saving Time didn't help any. Then there's people like Bobbie Blekkink who set their clocks back an hour. Doesn't she know that's cheating? . . . Have a nice summer and— don't we all wish we were graduating? Men's Residence Hall Last Tuesday night we elected our house officers for the coming fall quarter. Stan Brown was chosen as our "prexy" and is to be ably assisted by "Boston" John Doyle, vice-president; Vern Simmons, secretary-treasurer; Don Minahan, social chairman and Bill Reese, sgt. at arms. With only a week to go Stewart and Scoles could no longer stand the strain of each others presence and the second floor is no longer big enough for both of ,them—"The postman knocks twice." Cliff McCullem has been singing a new theme song lately—"Two Loves Have I," etc. "D-U-H-H-H" quote Pete Hansen. After the meal we had Tuesday night, we can all qualify to join the musicians union. M.R.H. is well represented in the softball league as it has all three of it's teams in the top four with the Homicide Squad as champions. Term paper time has finally arrived and all rooms are beginning to sound like Howard Hirdy's. Madelyn House Chosen Prexy Approximately 18 girls attended the Colheconomists club picnic Tuesday evening at Gooseberry Point. Private cars were used as transportation for the members to the Point. A picnic lunch w as served on the beach at 6 p. m. During the evening Madelyn House, the newly elected Colheconomists president, was introduced to the girls. The picnic which was held at Ethel Barber's weaving shop at the Point, was the last meeting of the Colheconomists this year. Officers will be elected next fall to serve for fall quarter. Westerlund fco Wed Mr. and Mrs. Harry Westerlund, of Ferndale, have announced the engagement of their daughter, Marjorie, to Mr. William Bezona, also of Ferndale.

The remainder of the afternoon was spent in hiking. A weiner and marshmallow roast was held in the late afternoon. Before making the return trip home everyone gathered for a "sing" and a devotional period led by Doug Anderson, a guest from The Firs. WESLEY CLUBERS WILL PICNIC NEXT SUNDAY "Destination Unknown" is the official title of the Wesley club picnic to be held this Sunday, June 6. It is hoped that we will know where we are going before we leave. Swimming, horseshoes and other popular outdoor sports are in store for all those attending. Those planning to go please contact Shirley Christman, Edens hall, in regard to bringing food. Cars will leave the Garden street church at 2:30 p. m. Be sure to bring swimming suit, sun tan oil, fly spray, DDT, etc., and come prepared for a grand time. This will be the last meeting of the school year. BAND ORDERS RAINCOATS New raincoats and cap covers for the band have been ordered by the Music department. The rainclothes, which are a metalic tan, are made of new elastic glass and are expected to be here by the first of fall quarter. Mrs. Ruth Burnet Entertains Collegian, Klipsun Members About fifteen WWCollegian staff members enjoyed an informal gathering at the home of Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet, publications adviser, Friday during the morning hours. Coffee, toast, and coughnuts were served by Mrs. Burnet. Barbara Breazeale, Joanne P l u m b , and George Dowd assisted the hostess in preparing and serving the refreshments. Entertainment was a little irregular. Several of the male guests moved back furniture and indulged in a rousing game of marbles in the center of the living room carpet, while other guests enthusistically formed a spectators' section. Cecil Thomas, sports writer, proved himself chamipon by winning all his opponents' marbles. Richard Cox, of Cox Brothers Williams, Inc., also attended this affair. The Klipsun staff, numbering 15, held their last regular meeting of the year at Mrs. Burnet's home Tuesday afternoon, June 1, with refreshments served at 4 o'clock. Editors and managers of the WWCollegian and the Klipsun were dinner guests at the home of Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet on Tuesday, May 25. Those present were: Betty Mc- Leod and Barbara Cozza, 1948 editoi and manager of the Klipsun; Pearl Hofman and Phyllis Armstrong, incoming editor and manager; Vem Matthews and Barbara Breazeale, 1947-48 editor and manager of the Collegian; George Dowd and Arlene Slotemaker, incoming editor and manager; and Clark Brown, 1947 Klipsun editor. Richard and Lee Cox and Bud Williams entertained the editors and business managers of the 1948 Klipsun and Collegian Tuesday at Fisherman's Cove. Their dinner guests were Betty McLeod, Barbara Cozza, Kathleen Golly, Vern Matthews, Barbara Breazeale, Clark Brown, and Mrs. Ruth Burnet.

Hurley, Druggist Home Market Phone 434 WRA, Campcrafters Spend Weekend At Viqueen Lodge By MARION NATTRASS Carrying suitcases, boxes, sleeping bags, athletic equipment and food, 46 girls left Quackenbush dock on the SS Activian last Saturday morning at 8 o'clock lor a gay three days at Viqueen lodge on Sinclair island. The girls arrived at the island at approximately 10:30, and loaded down with all of their equipment, started the trek across the island to the college property. Amidst the wind and rain, the 22 Campcraft girls set out for the woods, where they were to make camp, and sleep that night. B e t t y R i m s b e fg stated the fact that it took them four hours to put their pup tents up—and four seconds to take them down the next morning. Bright and early Sunday morning (5 a. m. to be exact) Pat.Hune, Shir-. ley Harrison and Alice Robbins awoke and had a game of three-handed pinochle. After cooking their own breakfast with their homemade utensils, over a fire they had built, the Campcraft girls left the woods and went back to the cabin where the other girls had been served their breakfast. After spending a very warm day clam-digging, sun-bathing, swimming, eating, playing games, and pinochle, the girls, with the exception of the Campcrafters, who made camp on the beach, went to sleep in the lodge. Homeward Bound Monday Monday was another day of sunshine, and after cleaning the cabin and leaving things in order, the girls mostly sun-bathed, went swimming, ate, and played cards until 8:30, at which time the boat arrived at the dock to bring them back to town. When Phyll Armstrong was asked if anything funny happened on the trip, all she could say was "Well— the biggest joke of all was the food we had to prepare and eat ourselves!" (Phyll is a Campcrafter.)

Anyhow all of us except Coach Sam Carver can say that. Sam the Trophy Man. He's the only one that came back from Parkl-and this Spring with anything under his arm besides troubles. He regained the lost Tennis and Golf championships (lost for one year is all) and brought them back to the college on the Hill. Yes, the little Coach was lucky, or was it luck? Nope—don't believe it was. It was that "know-how" stuff. The stuff that you can get only by years of "Blood, Sweat and Tears." Now lets talk about the Vikings' Track team. "I pass." How about the baseball squad? "Good bunch of guys." Football team? "Yes, we had, one—didn't you know?" Well then, how about the ski team? "Just wait until next year." If some ambitious person wants to beat his head against a brick wall—again—he might get some talk started and possibly a little money appropriated to forward skiing, and to make Western known as 'The Skiing College," "the embryo of the Olympic stars." What's this about a boxing team? "See my black eye?" A crew for the Hilltoppers then? "Sure we'll have a crew— when the Nooksack overflows and floods this place up here on the Hill. Everybody will be turning out for the crew then." * * * It was a hard year for these Hilltop mentors, Coaches Bill McDonald, Chuck Lappenbusch, Sam Carver and assistant Coaches Les Smith, Dick Abrams, Prank Chrovat and Curt Ledford. But they worked hard with their men and did what they could. All the coaches will be back again next year and one more. He is Raymond Ciszek of the University of Illinois. To these men we wishi the best of luck with all the hopes of a championship year in the realm of sports at the College on the Hill.

Former Top Athletes Acquire Top Positions in Chosen Fields By JERRY WADDELL With graduation drawing near and busy seniors making ready to toe the diploma line, and later take their places in the various fields they have chosen, let us brush the dust ans cobwebs from the stacks of past and bygone memories and see what has happened to some very talented people. Way back in 1946, big Del Peterson was giving his all for the Blue and White as an all-conference guard. Del was assistant coach at Mount Baker last year and is now attending Columbia university for his master's degree. That same year Buck Tisdale was knocking off the yardage as a very classy halfback. Buck is about a year away from his master's at the U. He will take over head coaching duties at Mount Baker upon graduating. Also in '46 another halfback- was ripping up the green for the hilltoppers. This was Norm Nelson, who will be head coach at Arlington next year. Alec Mitchell, big center for the ' Viks in '46, has acquired a coaching position in the east. Football, baseball, track, or hopscotch! Norm Dahl has played them all. The year: 1946. Norm is now holding down a coaching position at Edison. Coming out of the class of '44,. Larry Munizza took his assignment at Arlington. Don Packard, 1946 ASB prexy and first string end for the Viks, is coaching and teaching at Longview. We may but only glance at a few of Western's past graduates, but these few people present a good idea of what a college degree stands for. This year more men and women will take their positions in their chosen fields. Let us hope that they will find as much good luck and happiness as their predecessors. Graduating this year is Les Smith. Les has been assistant baseball coach at Western since his graduation last March. Next year he will take over head coaching chores at LaCenter, Washington. Also taking his place in a fine coaching spot is Paul Foster. Paul was a mainstay with Sam Carver's tennis champs this year. Paul will be an assistant coach at Lynden. Eastern Wins Annual Winko Track Fame Eastern Washington college ran off with' first place honors in the annual Winko conference track meet held in Tacoma last Saturday afternoon by totaling 72 M: points. Next in order were Pacific Lutheran with 36 VL gt; points, Central with 30, Western with 21, and Whitworth with 5. Taking the only first place for the Vikings was Frank Gayda, who gained honors with his 12 feet, 3 inch spring in the pole vault. Byron Blauman was another five point man for the day by taking second place in the 440 and third in the 880. Geoffrey Russell took second in the javelin and fourth in the discus, while Bob Hansen took fourth in both the low and high hurdles. Bob Hopkins, Coach McDonald's ace, place with a second in the mile. The only record shattered in the meet was the 880, by Leif Knutscm of Pacific Lutheran, running it in 1:59.1. The old mark was 2:00.8, set by Ike Brown of Eastern.

That was the end of the intramural league for this year. It was the Homicide squad of M.R.H. that defeated Daniels 4 to 1 to win the fastball championship. Larry Slovek gave Daniels s ix hits, but he didn't allow any two in one inning. It was his battery mate, Len Lillibridge, that gave him the winning blow, a home run in the second inning with two aboard. Spring Letfcermen Total Forty-one At Seasons Finish Spring sports, including track, basbeall, golf, and tennis, produced a total of 41 letter men to Western Washington college's list of athletes, at the final tally by coaches McDonald, Carver, and Lappenbusch. Baseball, under the coaching supervision of Chuck Lappenbusch, had the largest number of letter-men with 14. Boys playing the nine innings needed to receive t h e ir awards were: Bob Gates, Floyd Og-den, Ray Scott, Lee Stout, Jack Hilltoppers Cop Tennis, Golf Championships In retaliation for last years' Seattle college win in golf, Sam Carver and his divot diggers over ran Pacific Lutheran to take the Winco championship, Friday at Tacoma. They defeated their closest rivals by ,14 strokes. Lee Angel won the individual title with 145 strokes over 36 holes, Bob Hulbert was runner-up with 151. The third Viking, LeRoy Dixon, shot 158, for a team score of '454. Other team golf scores were Pacific Lutheran 468, Eastern 487, Central 490, Whitworth 514, and St. Martins 533. A Sam Carver helmed tennis team also came through to cop the laurels in the Winco league. In the singles classic Meyer, Western, took an easy 2 points, while Patton, from Eastern, came up with a.high 3. McBride, Central, and McCannon/ Eastern, made a point apiece. In the doubles competition Western excelled; the Viking team of Bob Simpson and George Sutherland defeated Bill McCannon and Ron Hunter,- to earn 5 points, enough for the title.

XLVI—NO. 32 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, June 25, 1948 New Building Blocked By Purchase Dispute By GLORIA WOODWARD ' Controversy over the purchasing of a lot on High Street has led to an impasse in construction of the new music-auditorium building. The property, contended for by Mrs. Eva Bratton of 431 High St., according to Dr. W. W. Haggard, is the only possible site for the new building. Other sites considered were unsuitable since the traditions of a beautiful campus would be destroyed. The present auditorium is a dangerous fire hazard, and a fire watch must«b^ established each' time the room is used. WRIT OF NECESSITY The college has obtained the writ of necessity enabling it -to offer a fair sum of money for the purchase of the property and any buildings it may have on it. One lot was successfully purchased from Mrs. Eva Reed, of 415 High Sstreet, who said: "I received a fair offer and I accepted it. It's all settled." The college intended to s t a rt building the music building l a te this summer, but since Mrs. Bratton is contesting the offer of $10,000 for the property, the building may hot be started that soon. TWO LOTS NEEDED 'The two lots, north and south of the tennis court, and the court itself will make way for the new million dollar expansion program inaugurated this year. The particular location, opposite the library on High street, has been under consideration for building purposes since 1925. If the college cannot come to a compromise with Mrs. Bratton, the affair will be taken to court where a jury will determine the proper amount to be paid for the property. As yet, the sum to be paid for the contested lot has not been stated. Noted Danish Singer To Appear Tuesday Frank Wennerholm, leading baritone, will be presented in the College auditorium Tuesday, June 29 at 8 p. m., the third of the Artist and Lecture Series of the summer quarter. Mr. Wennerholm made his first appearance in the U. S. in 1946; coming to the United States from Copenhagen where he had been established as one of the most popular singers of Denmark. I He has sung continually in opera, recital and radio throughout t he Scandinavian countries. He comes with the highest possible recommendations, a n d is an attraction that no music lover will want to miss.

Recreation Program Promises Busy Summer For All Extensive recreational programs are being planned for the summer quarter by Miss Ruth Weythman and the Recreation committee, of which she is chairman. The first trips will be Saturday, June 26. Busses will leave from the P. E. building at 10 a. m. for those going on the Chuckanut Mountain climb and will return to the campus about 5 p. m. Students are to bring their own lunch, however coffee will be provided by the committee. "•-•"- Coming on the same day for those students who aren't interested in the Chuckanut climb, is a cruise on the M. V. Osage through the San Juan islands. The boat will leave promptly from Citizen's Dock at 7 a. m. Students should bring their lunches, dress warmly even if the sun shines, and bring a blanket along. Several bus trips are being planned in order to give those who aren't hikers an opportunity to see the Northwest. A new feature this summer will be the three day cruise through the San Juan islands beginning on July 3 and going through Monday, July 5. Two boats have been obtained from Anacortes for the occasion; they will stop each night at one of the islands and the party will camp overnight. Several industrial trips are in the offing with Mr. Rice in charge. The Recreation Committee asks the cooperation of students in being prompt when making reservations and buying tickets for all of the summer activities. Dewey Wins On the third ballot, Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York, was selected to run as the Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States. The vote was unanimous. The balloting on the vice-presidential post began this morning. CCF Plans Activp Term; Library To Open Soon At a meeting last Wednesday noon members of College Christian Fellowship made plans -for the summer quarter, which include n o on meetings and an outing Friday afternoon. It was also revealed that the club will openjfa ^inali; library on Monday, June 28, where a limited number of evangelical Christian books and magazines will be available. Plans for the summer quarter include three scheduled noon meetings a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in Room 303 from 12:30 to 12:50. These meetings will present special speakers including many from the "Firs" Bible conferences, and will also feature returning teachers. It is hoped that while the Inter- Varsity Conference, of which CCF is an affiliate, is in progress, students from different colleges and universities will be available for a number of 'meetings and present what is done by their chapter of Inter-Varsity. Miss Gunderson was placed in charge of obtaining outside speakers, while Miss Irene Ordway will work with the local speakers. The other two noons will be left open for those students who wish to gather :|or informal.prayer meetings. LIBRARY IN ART DEPT. . The library is. located in a screened off section of the Art department. It will, be open from 9:50 to 12:00 in the morning, and from 1:00 until 3:30 in the.afternoon of each day, with 'the exception of t h is coming Monday when it will also be open during the noon hour until $:20 in the afternoon. Students are asked to enter through Room 301 in order not to disturb any art classes that may be in progress. The H|?rafy is equipped with several tables and a number of chairs, and includes missionary biography, reference books, apologetics, and other types of books, as well as a few magazines.

Chorus Needs Recruits If you enjoy singing here is your chance to join the all school chorus. With Mr. Bernard Regier as director, the chorus extends a hearty welcome to all interested in participating. The class meets twice a week, Monday and Wednesday at 2:30 in room 239. One-half credit can be earned each term in t he course, or it can be taken without credit. The chorus will do some - of the best and newest in choral music; with the possibility of a public appearance at some school function during the summer. You still have time to join the chorus; if interested you should contact Mr. Regier at once. t Students View New Book Display In charge of the extensive book display on the landing of the main stairway, were John Davis and Walter Clark, who are touring Washington and Oregon with their volumes, displaying them at various colleges in the two states. The books included both library reading books and texts for all subjects. The grade levels ranged from primary to higher intermediate and lower junior high. Mr. DaVis has written several of the books which were oh display. A. S.

Robert Dickson Copy Editor Bernie Lepeska Staff Photographer Mrs. Ruth Burnet Faculty Adviser Hey, You! Slow Down! "Watch your speed . . . Heed instructions . . . Protect oiir little tax deductions!" Traffic conditions on High street have reached a level when angry citizens are beginning to boil. It is an apparent fact that High street is one of the most dangerous streets in the city and one of the narrowest because of parking. What to do about High street has long been a sore problem with the Bellingham City Council. One of the things that would alleviate a lot of headaches and a lot of criticism by local people would be to create a parking lot so that college students would not have to park their cars on High street. With the creation of a fire lane up High street, parking was prohibited from Myrtle street south and that is helping the situation some. At the present, High street is a trap and motorists should not travel up or down it as if they were on Highway 99! Be careful of High street and drive slow. It may save a life which might be yours . . . Coffee Bar Will Open At Last One of the hardest working committees appointed by the Board of Control, the Facilities committee reports that the coffee bar in the student lounge will be ready for operation within the next fwe weeks. Gus Pagels and Bill Jones have spent many hours working out plans for the new feature. The coffee counter will sell coffee and packaged donuts during the day and will be operated as an extension of the student co-op. The candy concession will be placed in the lounge as will the pop and ice cream bar sales The student body has looked forward to this new feature of the lounge for quite some time and the committee is certainly entitled to the whole-hearted thanks of the college for their untiring effort. Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I have a slight gripe about this Administration building. Since I believe this is the place to air it, here goes. Why isn't something d o ne about the antiquated appearance of the school? This building is in a beautiful modern campus. When you step into t h e main building it is like stepping into a forgotten era— 50 years ago. How about a little redecorating, not only in the line of paint, but some light fixtures that give the old glow,-and a few more water fountains. I think there is one on the second floor down in the south^eltd of the school. Fluorescent Ughtinjri would help the haUs immensely. Also clocks in the classrooms might help the teachers to wind up their lectures on time instead of five minutes late. An adequate bell system that could be heard would be an added and necessary attraction. Editor's Note: It would appear that our reader is new to our college. Everyone win agree that her recommendations are needed; however at the present time the expense of such a complete redeeora-tion job is too high for the college authorities. A new building might be more appropriate.

The first school picnic of the summer term will be held Wednesday, June 30, on Sunset Heights, according to information released by Miss Ruth Weythman, chairman of the summer recreation committee. A picnic supper will be served at 5:45 p. m. after which the group will be led in group singing. "Sunset Heights is one of the nicest places in this vicinity to see Bellingham and the sunset over the Bay," commented Miss Weythman. "Everyone is urged to reserve the evening for a wonderful time."

College Houses Shelter Old And New Alike Organized houses contain a new group of students this summer, in the returned teachers who are back for a few "refreshing moments." Hospice, which has room for 30, has 20 reservations, and all of them are occupied by last quarter students, except Mike Baker, Morris McCollan, Lloyd Jones and Bob Smith, a former golf champion. '- MJt.H. contains only women this quarter—to the regret of the men. Edens Hall has about 20 spring quarter students back,- the rest being older students. Dorothy Mc- Lane is house president. Hours are relaxed during the summer, so the inmates wax fat from the possibility of walking up the hill from the theater instead of running up it. Senior Hall contains 26 t h is quarter, five from last quarter. Harborview has nearly all new students, Martha Monaghan, Mar-jorie Kingsley and Connie Martin being the only returnees. According to the housemother at Harborview, she even has one grandmother who is going to school. Lewis-Melland Plan Garden Wedding Mr. and Mrs. William H. Lewis announce the forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Billie, to Mr. Theodore Melland, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Melland, all of Bellingham. An early evening garden wedding is being planned for June 30. Rev. Clarence Haugen, minister of Our Saviour's Lutheran, church' will read the ceremony. Dwelle and Milliard Married Buildings Go Upward; Others Come Down • Campus changes since last year are variable and frequent. Old students may have noticed that the new heating plant on the other side of the Campus school is responsible for the warm • rooms, while the ancient smoke stack that used to furnish the heat is now a pile of bricks. A fire demolished the old heating plant and the new one is used entirely. Other changes are the fluorescent lights in the library which transform it from a menace to eyesight to a r Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald Married in St. Paul's Episcopal church last June 11, were Helen Adelle Dwelle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.

Noted Austrian Designer to Lecture Soon Professor Emmy Zweybruck, internationally known designer, lecturer, and director of teacher workshops throughout the United States, will meet with the art classes on July 1 and 2. Trained in Vienna by Professor Franz Cizek, she.has been instrumental in developing hundreds of students and teachers in her studio of arts and crafts in Vienna and many schools in America. Mrs. Zweybruck is now conducting a workshop in arts and crafts held at Cornish School in Seattle as a part of the Western Washington College of Education in-service program. Mrs. Irma Paine, a former WWC student, is attending the workshop in Seattle. -Mrs. Marjorie Seymour, assistant supervisor of art in . t h e Seattle schools, is teaching classes in drawing and crafts this summer. Students are invited to view the display of student art work in the halls of the art department. Included in the exhibit are pencil and charcoal drawings .interior and two dimensional designs and a group of water colors. HOTEL LEOPOLD * , , , GOOD FOOD Celebrities Return; Master's Degree Ahead of Students Old students and new will be glad to hear that an old editor of the WWCollegian has returned for the summer quarter. He is Monty Jones, who has been teaching at LaConner, Washington. Monty was co-editor of the paper during the years of '46-47. Also back for the summer is Don Packard, ex-president of the student body. He served during the year of '46-47. Readers of Klipsun, WWC's annual, will meet Clark Brown in the halls this summer.

One reason may be that looking through approximately 900 names is enough to make anyone dizzy, as it did one WWCollegian reporter. Names make news, but college is one place where news makes names. And just to prove it, no one would have known' that there were at least 17 different states represented this quarter here at school if a reporter hadn't plowed through all the names to find out.

Friday, June 25, 1948 Western's Baseball Team on Review Strawberries Need Saviors at Once; y48 Crop in Danger An emergency appeal has been issued for college students to help harvest Whatcom County's strawberry crop this Saturday and Sunday. Students are urged to come to the Washington State Employment Office between 6:50 and 8:30 a. m., with busses leaving for the fields approximately every ten minutes. The situation is described as desperate with a large per cent of berries spoiling on the vines. Even if you can spare a few hours, the Whatcom County Strawberry Growers Association is urging that you drive out to the fields. Pickers will be paid 80 cents per crate, as well as performing a real service to the community, Some berries have already been lost, but it is hoped that part time and week-end help will ease the problem greatly. While the growers are the ones who will suffer most, yet the loss of the 1948 strawberry crop is sure, to set off financial repercussions in Bellingham and the surrounding areas. Western Washington college displays its men of the baseball diamond. The Vikings wound up their activities with the scores showing an average season with some losses and some wins. Sportline Kulshan Cabin will once again be the happy site of rollicking college students ^ e ^ i ^ ; ^ day'vacation at this cabin on the timber line. These students will unfold their sleeping bags under the shelter of the covered log cabin. The main feature of this hike will be the climb to the summit of Mount Baker as well as various other short hikes. One of the charming features of this humble abode is the tiny little creatures, I believe they're called mice, which run over the feet of the sleeping beauties. It is not uncommon for a friendly little skunk who, no doubt seeking warmth, steals quietly down the chimney on cold nights. If this is not enough company for one, the chipmunks will be found very friendly. Many people around the country are speculating on the possibility of placing young Americans in schools where they can learn the great sport of crew instead of shipping them into Army camps for their training. Our great southern neighbor, the University of Washington, has a powerful team competing for the title of this great national sport. On the broad waters of the Hudson in New York, the eastern teams are feeling the power of the western team as they scored victory after victory, June 22. There :s much speculation among those who know as to the rumors going around to "Stop Washington!" at the Olympic tryouts. Sounds like the GOP convention when they were yelling "Stop Dewey!" As we see it, the only thing that will stop the Huskies on the Schuylkill June 30-July 10 is a stroke of bad luck. more board story (Continued from Paee One) pairs to the boathouse; repairs to the cabin; repairs to the float, and a drastic need for clearing t he grounds of brush.

Teaching Positions For All Grades Open In Panama Interest concerning teaching positions in the Panama Canal Zone has been expressed by a number of former teachers and others now in attendance at WWC. Miss Elizabeth Hopper states that several have inquired concerning opportunities and qualifications of the positions. Positions are open for kindergarten, elementary, junior high, serfior high, junior college, and physical education teachers.

Lakewood Cabin to Undergo Needed Rejuvenation Soon This week-end a program will be initiated by the college to repair the porches and steps of the college's property at Lakewood. This will be done at a cost of $120 to the ASB. Under the direction of Sam Carver, a work party will be out at Lakewood this Friday. Prompt attention is being given to the need for rejuvenation. The three boats belonging to the college wil be put back into tip-top condition at a cost estimated at $102.75. Suggestions were made to repair Lakewood which included: beaching the boathouse on a concrete foundation with runways to the water; another suggestion is to have the boat housed over the water without any flooring. The diving platform has been condemned; and the float would cost too much to replace. Another plan of expansion for all three properties will be worked out this fall between the board and the administration. Coffee Bar to Open Monday Announces President Pagels Calling all coffee drinkers! Good news is forthcoming from Gus Pagels, ASB president-elect, about the coffee bar in the student lounge. The bar may open up Monday or the first part of next week from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. Everything is ready to go but the tables. Louis Earle, Co-op manager, suggested that metal tables be used. The Co-op will be given all administrative authority in the lounge according to a decision made Wednesday by the Board of Control. Coffee and various kinds of doughnuts will be served. The extension of the coffee bar was made possible by the use of unclaimed, undistributed profits of the student co-operative book store. The board decided that student groups using the lounge in the evenings could use the coffee bar if they wanted it. The summer quarter will act as an experimental period so that any needed changes may be made for fall quarter. Students may play cards and drink coffee at the card tables but they cannot play cards at the coffee tables.

PNCC Contribution Tabled by Board A petition, signed by the Pacific Northwest College Congress committee of Western Washington College, was submitted to the Board of Control Wednesday, July 7. The petition asked the Board to appropriate $100 as part of WWC's share in the 1948 conference held at Walla Walla, and to appropriate another $100 and delegates' expenses to the 1949 convention. Because the Board did not understand the necessity of appropriating future funds at the present time and because of lack of knowledge on the subject, the Board voted to table the petition until such time as the proper authorities could be consulted. Bernard Regier, director of the all college choir, announced that he is giving suggestions in choral techniques, and all potential choir directors are urged to attend the meetings on Monday and Wednesday evenings at 7:30.

Although you cannot receive credit for the course now, you are asked to lend your-talents to the all-colloge choir. July 17 Date For Trip to Whidbey Saurday, July 17, is the date set for the all-day bus trip to Whidbey Island and the climb of Skyline Ridge. The Whidbey Island bus trip is a very beautiful one and many points of interest will be seen along the way, including Chuckanut Drive, the rich Skagit valley, the famous Deception Pass Bridge, and the historical bloc houses on the island. Returning, the bus will pass back through the LaConner and Swino-mish Indian Reservations on Fi-dalgo Island and will visit Oak Harbor and Coupeville, both of which are rich in historical interest. A committee has planned a picnic lunch to be served at noon. The climb to Skyline Ridge is a conditioning trip for those going to the summit of Mt. Baker. The climb begins near Glacier and follows a beautiful mountain trial which rises above the timber line to picturesque flowered meadows. Busses will take climbers to and from the starting point. Each hiker is to bring his own trail lunch. 50th Year Movie Proceeds on Time According to Dr. W. W. Haggard the 50th anniversary movie is proceeding on schedule.

Friday, July 9, 1948 Old Enough to Fight Old Enough to Vote With the prospect of another war staring the American people in the face, it is essential that the forward-looking elements in this state demand that the voting age be lowered from twenty-one to eighteen years. This would be another sign of the progressiveness of our great state. Back around the turn of the nineteenth century it was unthinkable that eighteen-year-olds should vote, but now, in the twentieth century, most young people of that age are educated far beyond that of the average voter in 1890. Our younger citizens are mentally awake to the problems and issues that confront us on every hand. Washington state ranks among the top five of the nation as far as education is concerned. The state of Georgia recently allowed its younger citizens to cast votes. Surely, if Georgia leads the way, Washington could follow since a much greater percentage of its younger citizenry is educated. The younger citizens of this state and of this nation are periodically called upon by our society to shoulder arms in defense of our way of life. If these young people are old enough to fight and to die for American liberty, they are old enough to vote for it! Progress in Washington must go forward by lowering the voting age to eighteen! Washington State Ranks No. Eleven In Per Capita Income The West Coast must be really booming! According to the Washington State Taxpayers' Association, Washington and Oregon were two of only four states in which tax collections rose at a higher rate than the people's income in the six-year period ending in 1947. The others were two of the poorest states in the union—Mississippi, which is at the bottom of the income scale, and Oklahoma, which ranks 40th in the average wealth of its citizens. According to the tax foundation study released by the Census bureau, collections made by states ranged from the low of 13% in Pennslyvania to the 148% increase being felt by the citizens of Washington where a 108% increase in incomes was affected. Washington state ranks 11th in per capita income of its citizens. $70.53 which compares with the national average of $40.45, is the price exacted from its citizens. WHY? That's a natural question and the blame can be laid to the tax system of We state which is very sensitive to economic changes. It is all right when times are good but it is very unstable when times are poor. It has been said that the state's colleges can never be secure until a more reliable form of taxation is devised to replace our present tax structure. It's time for a change all right—in our taxation methods! The World Today by dowd WASHINGTON, D. C. . . . Biggest explosion this week occured amidst the ranks of the antj-Truman Democrats when General Eisenhower again stated that he was not and never would be, a candidate for the White House. Party officials remained calm and declared that President Truman would be nominated on the first ballot. BERLIN . . . The Russians have really put the squeeze on the three western allies in the former German capital in their efforts to get them out of the city. The allies have been forced to cut the power of gas and light as four, hundred British, U.S. and French planes thunder over the city, bringing in vital supplies for the beleagured city.

Poetry Comer REMINISCENCES "ON" "THEN" AND "NOW" I've always wanted to come back here, To scenes my memory holds most dear. Of beauty and grandeur and friendships true, To live them over and learn anew. It still is beautiful! Wooded! Green! With Sehome, Baker and the bay serene. But look! The buildings! They are really there. At what once were dreams, I stand and stare. I entered the main building and looked around. 'Tis much the same now as then I found. But I didn't remember the stairs steep, Where I used to fly now I have to creep. Though I'm feeling much younger than I have of late, ^ When I see white hair and gleaming pates On Instructor's heads, and students few Who were blond and brown and young then too. All these people with their B. A's., Leave my mind in such a daze. As to what will surely be my fate. On tests and curves an "P" I'll rate. Each instructor, names two dozen books— Some to read and at some to look. I read and read—in dismay I find I can't control my wandering mind. Of the reams of notes I take, I'll bet I'll remember those that I should forget. In class period too I write with zest, The Instructor's words for the coming test. I pray he hears my unspoken plea, '"Don't make those exams too hard for me!" I don't want, my ego to fall 'way down— So I go back whipped to my own home town, —By Jessie Schmidt. Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: Maybe this recommendation is a little previous—but all summer students' will agree with me that its a much needed project for the Board of Control.

The ideal would be a student bookstore run of, by and for the students. Yes, I know we have one but the supplies it carries are too limited in variety to save many trips downtown. And an eating place— which is sorely in need of competition! Well, I've stuck my neck out for some lengthy criticism and I'd like to hear it. There are plenty of obstacles to overcome in tackling such a project but the experience alone would be. an education for the class that is ambitious enough to try. A cloistered, secluded campus is O.

Miss Elsie Grime of the education department of Whittier college added, "Teachers can be more independent now than before, since they can move to oher communities." During the course of the discussion it was stressed that teachers will have to raise their standards above the mediocrity of the average citizen. The thought was further advanced that teachers should set their own limitations, rather than have limitations forced on them. How far can the teacher go in presenting religion in the classroom was also discussed. "Released time", one of the latest phases of religious education to invade the school system, came in for a number of comments. Other angles gone into included security for the teacher in view of his political ana religious beliefs, community standards and parent-teacher relationships. PRESCRIPTION DRUG STORE AUBERT DRUG CO.

DANCING CLASS NEEDS MEN Folk and Square dancing class, which meets each Monday at 1:30 in the gym, requests all available men to attend. Miss Hilda Schwehn visiting physical education instructor, from Purdue university, stated that the situation was reversed at her school, where men are in the majority. By AL BIANCHINI We've been expecting t o hear something about an intermural tennis meet for this quarter. Or maybe VOLLEYBALL? . . . Each one of.the softball teams,in the intermural league has an outstanding feature about it: Normal Drive has the snappiest infield of the four teams, Huntoon is the hittin'est of the four, Hospice is the zaniest, and Mathis has the greatest number of oldsters (all nine of 'em) . . . Pacific Coast League baseball race is getting to be quite an affair. But as soon as Seattle untangles the snarls out of its own "lines," we can expect them to recover their somewhat "soiled s h i r t s " before much longer. We've still got plenty of faith in t h em BUT let's hope t h e y work out of t h a t slump before it's too (strong language) late!! . . . How about a prediction like this i o r the major league "wind-up"?—one t e am from the Nationals and one from the Americans . . . Discussing 'crews and crew races the other day we were wondering how the 'possibilities would be in having a crew represent Western?. (It's possible) . . . Upsets will happen, you know— and the great big "if comes in again: IF the U. of W. had picked up its bear sooner; IF the distance had been longer; and IF the U. of W. had only lived up to expectations . . .

New Coffee Bar Due to Open Within Two Weeks "I don't see any reason why the new coffee bar shouldn't be ready for business within a week," declared faculties chairman, Gus Pagels. Pagels stated that everything seemed to be ready to. go. The counters are ready to be installed and the candy counters are already in place. Two hundred mugs (the kind used by the GI's minus any handles) have been ordered for service in the lounge. Eleven dozen spoons will be ready for use also. TABLE BELAYED The committee had originally hoped to purchase ten tables of the type now in use in the lounge but the costs were prohibitive. Efforts to locate other tables will be continued and the new tables may be ready for use by fall quarter. Lewis Earle of the Co-op has hired a full-time waitress who will be on hand during the day. Tentative hours for the coffee bar will be 8:00 a. m. to 4:00 p. m. At next week's Board of Control meeting, the Board will settle any questions as to over-lapping of responsibility of the lounge managers and the Co-op. Haggard Represents WWC at Conference President W. W, Haggard will attend the fourth meeting of the School for Executives of the American Association for Colleges of Teacher Education, August 16-23, at Estes Park near Denver, Colorado. Approximately 400 presidents of colleges of education, deans of colleges and schools of education and universities, and other executives of teachers' colleges will participate in the conference. The purpose of the meeting is the consideration of current problems of teacher education. The school is divided into groups for discussion of the different problems. Dr. Haggard will participate in "Curriculum and Related Problems." The school is held every 'two years. The first was held in 1942 at Clear-lake, Michigan; the second in 1944 at Clarksburg, West Virginia; and the third at Chautauqua, New York, in 1946. Trustees Appointed Two new members were appointed to the Board of Overseers of Whitman college Tuesday, June 29, by President Winslow S. Anderson. The new members are Henry J. Copeland, veteran senator from Walla Walla county, and Omar C. Spencer, Portland attorney. VOL.

Trip Planned For July 12 Two additional milestones in the summer recreational program are rapidly approaching, namely the Vancouver bus trip of Saturday, July 12, and the overnight trip to Heather Meadows, Saturday and Sunday, July 12 and 13. Reservations should be made early for both trips, since a limited number can be accommodated. The bus for Vancouver will leave at 8 a. m. from High street in front of Edens hall. It is planned to stay for "Girl Crazy," which will be showing at the "Theatre Under the Stars," if enough so desire. Otherwise the bus will return in the late afternoon. In either case ample time will be allowed for shopping and sightseeing. Miss Ruth Weythman, summer recreation chairman, stated that suggestions will be given as to where to shop and eat. Those going on the overnight outing to Heather Meadows will have opportunity to climb Table mountain, Austin Pass and to see Chain lakes. This trip will be through country described as a photographer's paradise. 50th Anniversary To be Celebrated Next 3 Quarters Western Washington College of Education will be the scene, during the next three quarters, of many celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the school. Most of these festivities will take place in the spring quarter and will be climaxed on May 20 and 21, 1949. A movie of school lire is being made for the anniversary and will be shown several times during the year. Homecoming will also be the time of many added attractions celebrating the 50 year mark. Miss Nora Cummins is general chairman for the activities and she will be assisted by the following faculty chairmen: Dr. Arthur Hicks, history of the school; Charles M. Rice, movie; Victor Hoppe, pageant; Dean Lorraine Powers, social; Miss Hazel Plympton, exhibit; and Mrs. Ruth Burnet, publicity. These committees will be assisted by student groups and alumni. Groups Make Soil Survey —Photos by Bernie Lepeska. Pictured above are two graphic examples of the state of affairs as they exist at Lakewood, the college property on Lake Whatcom. For the complete story of the conditions and the action to be taken by the Board of Control, see this issue. Top: The rotting wharf and the boat-house; below: The somewhat dilipidated condition of the bathhouse porch. Speeders on High Street Warned by Traffic Squad By JOHN SIGURDSON Asserting that any driver exceeding a 25 mile per hour speed limit on High Street would be tagged by his officers, Lieutenant Morse, head of the police traffic squad, last week responded to complaints filed against the excess speeding along the narrow street leading to the college. The complaints were filed by irate citizens who reside along High Street, and by the parents of Campua school children. Shortly before last quarter ended, a Campus school boy was struck by a speeding motorist as he stepped from between two parked cars in front of the Highland creamery Further down, on the corner of Ivy and High streets, a dog was recently killed, by another speedster. Realizing the danger that such conditions inflict upon everyone, the angry citizens stormed the city hall demanding action. As a result, the police department stated that as much attention as is possible will be devoted to combating this danger. WWC Students Warned The students of WWC are' urged to pay strict accord to all traffic regulations by "Dr. Haggard, who stresses, in particular, the importance of complying with those regulations governing driving- on the campus. The speed limit for all (Continued on Page Four) Schneider, Jacobson To Appear in Violin-Piano Concert Alexander Schneider, violinist, and Madame Bertha Poncy Jacobson, pianist, will present a violin-piano sonata concert July 6 at 8 p. m., in the college auditorium. Schneider is a world famed violinist, and a Columbia recording artist. Mme. Jacobson is a member of the faculty at the University of Washington -school of music. By MONTY JONES Members of three study groups at Westetrn Washington college left the campus Wednesday, 8:15 a. m. to make a general survey of soil conservation in Skagit county! The students were from three separate post-graduate classes: School administration, Visual Aids, and Community Resources. The group was accompanied by Dr. Irwin A. Hammer, Dr. Alan Ross, and Dave Rushong, WWC faculty members. The caravan of ten automobiles was met near Blanchard on t he Chuckanut highway by two work unit representatives of the United States Conservation service, A. F. Harms and C. F. Stubble. The morning was spent in observing methods used in soil drainage, fertilization, irrigation, selection of crops. The group visited the Pier-son grass dehydrating plant at Allen and the Kenneth Kaaland farm near Sedro-Woolley. They then traveled to a bend in the Skagit river where they observed the effects of the high water since last December which wore the banks away as far back as fifty feet. Lunch was eaten in the dining room of the Gateway hotel in Sedro- Woolley. Harms then showed slides revealing the great need for soil conservation in Washington state and some of what they had already done in the way of fertilization, flood control, selective logging, and erosion control. Harms then introduced Paul Dickey, the northwest director of the United States Soil Conservation srevice. (Continued on Page 4) Collegiates to Hear Varied Programs For the purpose of providing additional cultural enjoyment for the students of the college there is presented each quarter an Artist and Lecture Series which i s held in the college auditorium. For the summer quarter the programs will be held in the auditorium at 8 p. m. The artists and lecturers are chosen by a student-faculty committee. Making up the committee are faculty members, Miss Ethel Church, Victor Hoppe, Frank D'Andrea, and Bernard Regier; students, Halldor Karason, Bill Hunt, Margery Traul-sen, and Gus Pagels. Lakewood In Need Of Repairs Former students may h a ve fond memories of Lakewood which was then called "Normal-stad" but they would be in for , a shock if they were to see it now. Members of the Properties committee and the Board-of Control made a survey of the college property on Lakg_Whatc.om last .Thursday, June 24, and found the property in a run-down condition. The boathouse which houses the student-body's three boats, the Viqueen, the Viking, and the Sehome, is awash and water sloshes over the floor on the inside of the building. The wary person who would take a boat ride must first figure out how to get out to the boathouse without falling in the water. FLOAT ROTTING AWAY The float, which once was a magnificent dock, is now in a rotted condition and here again, the lake is slowly claiming it. The weeds and over-growth have spread over the grounds. The bathhouses are in need of repair, their doors having been forced open. The porch of the bath-h6use has rotted away entirely. A jungle of weeds makes it practically impossible to reach the far entrance.. of. the. bathhouse. — The cabin is. in need of two window panes which were not fortunate enough to survive the winter. New steps should be built to replace the rotted ones that how stand on the property. Warren Tiffany, chairman of the Properties committee, declared that something would be done. (Continued on Page Four) Faculty Completes Two Years Support Of French Orphan Faculty members have completed support of Jacques Boudeville, a French war orphan, for two years and have voted to accept again the responsibility for another year. Jacques has written several letters to Miss Evelyn. Odom, chairman, thanking her for the many packages he has received. Jacques states, that he is being "spoiled" by his foster parents, as is his brother who also has foster parents in the United States. His packages contain practical articles such as clothing, as well as gifts primarily for his enjoyment such as candy and games. He has also received money, 805 francs, or about $150. The faculty collects $180 a year toward his support. Registrar Ferris States Enrollment This summer's registration has increased, over last year's total of 845, to 917, and is expected to reach the 1,000 mark during the second term of the quarter, according to Registrar Donald Ferris. The present enrollment is made up -of about one-third regular students, but the great majority are teachers taking refresher courses. Special students, who are taking not more than six hours, and new students, are in the minority. ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 July 2 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Wash. Friday, July 2, 1948 Peace in Our Time Must be Our Goal "While the war clouds gather, far across the sea, let us swear allegiance to a land that's free . . . " Yes, God bless America and give her the strength to fight for peace in these uncertain times. In 1945 the war ended and the peoples of the earth rejoiced at the blessings of peace. Now, just three years later, the dread sound of marching armies again reaches our ears and our people hear it and pray that it cannot be, so. Yes, all of the world's people hear the marching clamor of an approaching war and they dread it. What type of man is it that loves the sound of the armies tread? Who is it that plunges the world into ghastly struggles that rock the very foundations of civilization? What is this lust for power and greed that creates diabolical ambition in men such as Hitler and Mussolini? What is it that causes war? Probably if one could answer those questions, the problem could be solved. The average citizen certainly isn't in possession of the lust for war, but, he is the owner of a powerful force which aids the planning of those who prepare for war. Misunderstanding and thinking by emotion rather than logic are two factors that must be eliminated before the world can free itself of the ravages of war. As long as people are more willing to pick up a gun than try to understand their neighbors' problems and his side of a question, there will be war. Peace will persist only where peoples live side by side, willing to understand each other's problems and to help each other in finding a solution. There are leaders m the world who, apparently by use of their peoples' misunderstanding, are preparing for war. It is therefore up to the rest of the world to renew its efforts in making them see the necessity for peace. Peace is not a thing that just "hangs around." It must be fought for just as war is fought for. Peace is a "give and take" proposition, we must not forget, and let us not do that which we criticize others for. j L Peace does not mean appeasement. Chamberlain tried that and he only succeeded in whetting the dictators' appetites. Those who oppose our way of life must make compromises just as we must make compromises. Now is the time for Americans to consider whether they have been fighting for^peace. President Truman sums it up this way: "OUR GOAL MUST BE—NOT PEACE IN OUR TIME—BUT PEACE FOR ALL TIME." A Notice for Heels " PLEASE!" Perhaps you've noticed those little signs sitting on the lawn about the campus with this word inscribed upon it. There are evidently many people who do not know what it refers to, judging from their actions. The incoming freshmen are carefully indoctrinated in the fall with the proud traditions of a beautiful lawn. During the heavy overcasts of winter quarter, the lawn is forgotten but when spring and summer come, the lawn is very much appreciated. That sign applies both to faculty members and students. A faculty member's shoes kill just as much grass as a student's unless it's a girl's tiny size five. The groundsmen are having enough trouble trying to keep the campus green without having students adding to their grief. " KEEP OFF OUR GRASS! The World Today . . . by dowd WASHINGTON, D. C • . . President Truman made surprising news this week by declaring that Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt would make an acceptable running mate if she could capture the vice-presidential spot on the Democratic ticket. BELGRADE . . . Perhaps the biggest news story of the year broke when t h e Comminter rt'black-listed" Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia as being a collaborator with the western imperialists. The Yugoslav dictator immediately rallied the country about him and hurled counter charges. He went further—he suggested a Balkan bloc of Albania, Hungary, and Yugoslavia. Albania rejects the plan.

The western powers are determined to remain in Berlin and it seems the Russians are determined to. keep them put. CAIRO . . . An Arab League official has been quoted as having said that the League had decided to reject United Nations proposals for a solution of the Palestine question.' MAYLAYA . . . The British government has ordered martial law imposed over the country as fierce riots sweep through the cities. The death total mounts daily. WWCOLLEGIAN Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I was extremely perturbed after reading the letter, sent in by a student that is obviously new to WWC, in which it was stated that "when you step into the main building it is like stepping into a forgotten era —50 years ago." Perhaps it is a mistaken assumption that when you attend a college you do so in order to learn, not to be carried away by the relative merits or demerits of its construction. If that student would spend more time pursuing the basis of college life (learning) I feel certain that she would not be so obvious of what, to her way or thinking, Is the "antiquated appearance of the school." An Irate Reader. Tryout Players Present Play Melodrama deluxe was the keynote of "Cup of Fury," presented last week, June 24, by the Tryout Theater Players, of the University of Washington. The play was built around the strange hold which Aunt Cecily Winter had on each member of her family, either through fear, charity or a sense of duty from the family. The old aunt, the main character in the play, by her own acts, loses, one by one, the affections and finally the members of the family, who leave her to her own evil reflections. The play comes to a dramatic close in the death of the aunt as a proper retribution for her attempted torture of one relative and attempted murder of her companion. The play was written by Dr. George Savage and Bill Noble, a student at the university. Cub's Definitions Assignment — Duty dictated oy Dowd. Beat—Disciplinary action taken by Mrs. Burnet.

First Nat'l Bank Member of Visiting Faculty State Opinions of WWC Stress Outings, Friendliness By AL MAGNUSON Just what are the reactions of the visiting faculty to a query regarding their first impressions of WWC? A friendly chat will convince you of the fact that instructors are often interesting. What are the things that they mention most frequently in regard to our institution of higher learning? First let's pay a visit to Miss Elsie Grime of the education department of Whittier College. After our errand is explained, she responds, "Well now, let me think." But since she structors and students alike, and further that the recreation program was tops for the places where she has been. Take note, students that are in the classes of Miss Ethel Kawin, the director of guidance at the Glencoe Schools in Illinois and an instructor at the University of Chicago. She states that she is "impressed by the nice group of students who are eager to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge." . . . Remember and weep, when you get those D's and F's. Miss Hilda Schwehn of the physical education department at Purdue University, greets us with, "I'm real pleased to be here." .And then goes on to state that while she had heard much of the gorgeousness of the northwest, it far surpasses anything she had expected. Miss Mary Boppell of the Home Worth college commented on the beautiful green campus, then added, "but I suppose everyone says that." Quick, Dr. Haggard! Put that in the catalogue. One would think the psychologist would have many words of wisdom to impart, but' Miss Virginia Voeks, of the Psychology department of the University of Washington was found to be almost as human as the rest of us. 'kiss Voeks said, "Oh, heavens! You may quote me* as saying, 'Delightful, charming and so on'." Incidentally she was referring to the school, and not to the reporter. David J. Burrell, the curriculum consultant for industrial arts in the Seattle schools has been on both the giving and receiving end here at WWC. About twenty years ago he attended one of the summer sessions, and now has returned for another summer, this time as an instructor. He was impressed with the new buildings. His was a fitting conclusion for this article, "I guess that's about it." spent last summer here, thus being an old timer, it doesn't take long for her to collect her thoughts. She states that she is impressed by the lush greeness of the area and is further fascinated by the boats coming in and out. She also noted how practical the campus school building is. Instructors have temptations too: Miss Mabel L. Everett of the Shaker Heights School in Cleveland, Ohio, is a potential thief. She stated that after buying holly back east at fabulous prices she wanted to go out and snip some for her room even at this time of the year. Do you have holly growing in your yard? Then perk up your ears to this suggestion. Why not bring her some? Her office is in room 130. "I'd like it for the foliage even if it doesn't have berries on it," she said. And, just think! You may save the poor lady a trip to the jail for petit larceny. How do instructors react to being interviewed? Well, Miss Gertrude Ramage, of the Linnton school in Portland, expressed what many seemed to have in the back of their minds when she stated, "I'm going to be quoted now so I have to be careful what I say, don't I?" She was one of the visiting faculty members that mentioned both of the two things that seemed to be uppermost in the minds of these 'foreigners,' namely the friendliness of the in- Poetry Corner JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST At College— June, July and August, Ah, what months are these; Bringing work and tests To College busy-bees.

Visitor from France Here for Quarter Do you want to learn to speak French the easy way? One sure method would be to meet Miss Denice Bancalari, a genuine home-grown French girl who speaks the real thing. Denice has been in this country just nine months; she arrived in October, with a degree from a university, and after a quarter at Cheney has come to spend the summer at WWC. She has done some tutoring in French and would be very willing to do some more as she remarked: "I specialized in English, or majored in it, as you would say, in the University of Aix-Marseilles, in Nice." As well as speaking English fluently, she took about three courses in Russian, but as she put it, "gave it up fast." Denice is a dark-haired young lady with a pair of eyes nearly as dark as her hair. They twinkled when she responded to the question, "How old are you" with the repartee. "I am not yet eighty." After a moment's hesitation she disclosed the fact that she was 21. When questioned as to her athletic abilities, Denice proved herself one of the "rugged type." "I am a broad jump champion, and I do very well at all kinds of Summer Trips Shown in Slides Colored slides and martial music, presented in the assembly Thursday, June 24, stirred up.the summer recreation program. Shown by Miss Ruth Weythman, chairman of the recreation committee, the slides included (in glorious technicolor) pictures taken on trips in summers passed. Many among the audience recognized their pictured selves on the climb up Chuckanut Mountain, the picnic at the Rocks and the strenuous trek to Baker's summit. To new students, the assembly presented a new and promising aspect of summer school li* . The succulent jumps, and other track games, such j s ^ o n dished up at the Lakewood as rope climbing. It is a pity I was not a boy." In answer to a question on baseball, Denice has this to say for the great American sport. "I played it twice. I never understood where or when I ran, but I ran." She went on to say, in her pleasant, manner, "The French universities don't have as many students, and they have no campus. No one lives on the campus. We have no special activities like you do here, so that is why I am never home nights studying. "I like our school system better because it covers the curriculum more broadly. When you get out of high school there, you are prepared to specialize in one subject in the universities." Bellingham, being on the Puget Sound, favorably reminds Denice of her home town, Nice, which is located on the Mediterranean sea, with the Alps in the background She was a if she had grown her webbed feet yet, but when the parody on the climate was straightened out, she intimated she preferred sunshine. This summer she is living at Har-borview hall, but fall quarter will see Denice enrolled at the University of Washington. barbecue and the beautiful, rugged scenery of the San Juans literally leaped from the screen to entice them from their books. The college's summer recreation program, one of the finest in the country, is well planned to suit the interests of all persons from the mountaineer to the cnalr tourist. With twenty-one trips and picnics scheduled, every student will have an opportunity to see as much as possible of the unusually lovely scenic surroundings. Deadline dates for ticket sales and information regarding all trips will be posted on the Official Bulletin and on the Recreation Bulletin Board. CCF Makes Plans For July Outing; Committees Named Everyone is invited to go on the CCF outing to be held on Friday afternoon, July 9. The group will leave from in front of the P. E. building at 4:30 for a spot yet to. bit puzzled when asked b e designated. Those going are urged to sign up on the CCF bulletin board, or give their name to one of the club's members. It is further requested that those going indicate the number of guests that they intend to bring. At a meeting held last Wednesday, the overall outing committee chairman, Irene Ordway, appointed committees. They include: Food, Helen Johnson; place and trans-poratton, Bob Waters and Bob Rairdon; speaker, Vivian Gunder-son; entertainment, Shirley Swank and Al Magnuson. An offering totaling five dollars was also taken. It will be used to purchase song books for the organization. "College graduates are the best risks in marriage," says Dr. Evelyn Mills Duvall, executive secretary of the' National Council of Family Relations, in an address to the student body, University of Idaho.

King-Bowden United In Church Service* In Methodist Church More than ten guests gathered at t h e G a r d e n Street Methodist church, Sunday afternoon, June 13, to attend the wedding of Miss Iris Louise Bowden and Mr. Morris Kipg. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Gilbert Bowden and Mr. King's parents are Mrs. Jean King of Vancouver, Wash., and Mr. Hugh King, of Logan, Kansas. Summer flowers artistically decorated the church sanctuary for the 4 o'clock ceremony conducted by the Rev. Alexander P. Aiton. Mr. Lowe D.

Hospice edged out Normal Drive in the ninth by the score of 2-1. Each team made two errors and each pitcher gave up only two hits . . . And speaking of pitchers' battles—the Bells' game'with the Trotters turned out to be just that last Monday night—only about forty hits allowed in the entire game. That's only with the Trotters, of course. . . . Now that Louis has stated that he would retire, there are some followers of the ring who would call him a "has-been" and a bum . . . Well, it took him longer to be one titan any other great fighter . . . With all sorts of honors and awards; bestowed upon him, we hope that Lee Angel I, our county golf king, won't lose sight of the fact that the "college-on-the-hill" is proud of him, too, and expects him back next spring . . . "for the next couple of weeks the Seattle Rainiers can expect to have it easy—but it sometimes turns out that the "otherwise" happens. And when the Jo-Jos were one game away from first place, wasn't San Diego supposed to have been a "soft touch"? . . . The two major leagues don't seem to be getting anywhere— here it is almost the halfway mark of the baseball season and they're just about back to where they started. (The first division in each league—that is!) . . . "One more river to row" and then we hope to see the U. of W. Huskies entered in the Olympics. A first at London and the broom they will have used for this crew season should be sent—well, don't you think the national capital would be a good place? The "two-for-one bird story*" you know . . . Violin-Piano Duo Coming to WWCE Alexander Schneider, violinist, and Madame Bertha Poncy Jacobson, pianist, will present violin-piano sonata concert in the college auditorium on the evening of July 6, at 8:00 p. m. Their program will be a repeat of one they will give in Seattle's Meany hall earlier in the week. On the program here will be: G Major Sonata by Brahms, Sonata in A Minor by Beethoven and Sonata in E Flat Minor by Mozart. Schneider is a world famed concert violinist and is also a Columbia record artist. Mme. Jacobson is a distinguished member of the faculty of the University of Washington School of Music. more traffic story (Continued from Page One) traffic on the campus is 10 miles per hour, and in order to insure the safety of all students it is necessary to inforce this limit rigidly. As was expressed by Dr. Haggard, "I urge strict adherence to traffic regulations by all." As an important step in controlling the speeding along High street, a red blinker light has been installed in front of Edens hall. The fine for speeding is very stiff, but there is more to it than that. No person would intentionally endanger the lives of other people, and perhaps many of the speeding drivers actually fail to realize the dangers which can result from such actions. Every driver, however, should realize his responsibility, and cooperate in the campaign to eliminate the threat of speeding, not only from High street, but from all of Bellingham's streets.

The letter further stressed the desperate need of all kinds of clothing. Champion Joe Louis Retires With Record Successfully defending his heavyweight championship crown for t he twenty-fifth time and for the tenth time against a return contender (for eleven years plus—the longest boxing record in ring history), Champion Joe Louis can well be classed as one of the greatest fighters in ring history. Louis proved to the boxing world that he still had that dynamite right that brought him the crown. Intramural Sports Begins With 2-1 Victory by Hospice The men's intramural softball league began action last Monday evening at the College athletic field. Four teams have entered the first, round of play, which will finish July 15. All games are scheduled for 6:15 p. m. Any game may be played at 4:30 p. m. if both teams agree. Decide) Now, not the day of the game, advises S. E. Carver, Intramural Athletic Director. Hospice, with "Dixie" Dahl, slow-ball artist, on the mound and Doyle behind the plate, defeated Normal Drive, with Rolland pitching and J. Russel catching, in a low scoring game 2 to 1. The complete schedule: June 28—Normal Drive vs. Hospice. July 1—Huntoon vs. Mathes. July 6—Normal Drive vs. Huntoon. July 8—Hospice vs. Mathes. July 12—Normal Drive vs. Mathes. July 15—Hospice vs. Huntoon. more conservation (Continued from Page One) Mr. Dickey gave a brief but very convincing and emphatic talk on the necessity for soil conservation. His statements were blunt and full of concern about the lack of attention paid to something as vital as the production of food. The figures given below were produced by Mr. Dickey as evidence that the farm situation is serious. Since 1888 • PACIFIC STEAM LAUNDRY 1728 Ellis St. Phone 126 I n both fights Walcott chose to attempt to win the championship on points. He might easily have done so in the last fight had he not started to mix it with Louis in the fatal eleventh. But the same happened to Walcott as to all others who challenged Louis for the second time—Louis calmly and unsmilingly chopped him down and undisputably retained his crown. As in horse-racing when a champion becomes too old and has given so much to the game, he is retired— shouldn't Champion Joe Louis be entitled to the same privilege? more lake wood (Continued from Page One) The committee has approximately $700 with which to repair the three college properties, Lakewood, Kul-shan cabin, and Sinclair island.

As leader of the annual summer conference of WWC, with several hundred educators from throughout —— Book Display Neld the state attending, Dr. Misner out lined the new trend in education toward the community school and described the transition from a subject- centered to a life-centered curriculum which the schools of today are adopting. He said that against a background of compulsory military training and aggressive preparations for another war, the real hope for world peace rests squarely (Continued on Page 3) In order to acquaint students and teachers with new textbooks four textbook companies held book displays on the first floor landing ing.

New Movement Demands That Eighteen-Year-Olds Vote By JOHN SIGURDSON That all persons between 18 and 21 years of age should be given the right to vote, is the principle of the Washington Young Citizens' Association. This organization is in the early stages of development in Belling and intends to start a state-wide campaign soon. Membership is open to any person who wishes to join, providing he is over eighteen years of age. The organization is non-profit and the yearly dues of 25 cents per person are given over entirely to advertising Using "Old Enough ,to Fight—Old Enough to Vote" as their theme, the WYCA maintains that the day when eighteen year olds are incapable of assuming the responsibility of voting is past. Washington state ranks second in education; Georgia, near the bottom of the list. Georgia has enacted legislation providing for voting for all citizens over eighteen; Washington, none. If Georgia has the insight to enact such legislation, then does it not stand to reason that Washington should at least give some attention to this problem? Any queries regarding the WYCA should be addressed in care of the WWCollegion office. Election of officers by the 852 members will be held in the near future. BANCALARI GIVING FRENCH LESSONS TO STUDENTS Group and private French lessons are now being arranged by Miss Denise Bancalari, a graduate of the University of Aix-Marseilles, in Nice, France. Wednesdays at 1 p. m. Miss Bancalari holds a class in room 209 a t which time she takes up French grammar, literature, conversation, and pronunciation. Miss Bancalari, a n a t i v e of France, and a recent arrival in the U. S., puts it this way, "Don't you believe I am qualified to teach French' the way it is spoken in France?" For each group lesson she is charging 60 cents. Other group or private lessons'can be arranged by phoning her a t 1965.

(Cut courtesy of BeUingham Herald.) Student Lounge Now Scene Of Enthusiastic Coffee Fans -' Coffee; that magic liquid which Americans prize more highly than gold, will be within easy grasp of all, both financially and' physically, now that the coffee bar has opened in the student lounge. A few curious students enjoyed coffee last Monday when the waitress tried out her skills at making the brownish brew. Tuesday found the bar open for business and busy during the rush periods between class when students dropped in for coffee and a variety of donuts. Mrs. Bea Wyatte, student wife, is in charge of the coffee bar and is responsible for making the coffee. The special G . I . mug which is currently in use in the lounge holds two ordinary cups of coffee and this point was emphasized by employees because students were not putting the additional cream and sugar into their coffee which it required. It is hoped by. the facilities committee, Gus Pagels and Bill Jones, that the entrance from the landing will be opened for student use soon. Coffee cups with handles are to be purchased from Edene hall which is acquiring new ones. EAT AND SING ON MONDAYS WITH THE CCF CLUB "Bring your lunch on Monday's and join the crowd," stated Irene Ordway, co-chairman of the CCF meeting committee. The club has enjoyed eating together, then singing, so well, that they have instituted it as a regular, part of their summer program, and have designated each Monday noon as their "Lunch-Sing Fest." Seen above, removing the salmon from the coals, are Dr. Paul Misner, center; Mr. Herbert Hearsey, left; and S. E. Carver. The salmon was served to approximately 450 people at Larrabee State Park. On Monday evening, July 12, Miss Ruth Weythman, not pictured, along with Carver and Hearsey, supervised the preparation, baking, and serving of the 20 salmon. ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 July 16 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Wash. Friday, July 16, 1948 Repairs at Lakewood Off to Good Start College and student body officials deserve a vote of thanks for their prompt action in taking steps to repair the student body property at Lakewood when that need was brought to their attention. The administration cooperated with the Board of Control in seeing that a competent contractor investigated Lakewood and made a report of his findings. Included in this list of suggested improvements was the repair of several sets of steps around the cabin. These steps were in rather bad condition and should be replaced according to the report. The Board took immediate action and the steps were ordered rebuilt and the porches on the bathhouses replaced. These repairs tfere only part of an overall program of repair which will focus improvements on the other properties of Sinclair island and Kulshan cabin at Mount Baker. The Properties committee under the chairmanship of Warren Tiffany is currently concerned with the compiling of separate brochures on each property, containing history, pictures, and general suggestions for the future development. The student and administrative officials have shown that they are eager to maintain the student properties at a high level of repair and that they are directly interested in making Western Washington College, one of the best in this part of the country. Washington Youth Deserve Right Given Georgians! The word suffrage has been defined as the right to express one's opinions at the polls in a democracy. It is a word used by groups fighting for their political freedom. The women of America fought a long and arduous battle to secure their suffrage and now the youth of America, the young citizens of our country, are responding to the battle cry and are demanding their right to vote. The question of allowing eighteen-year-olds the right to cast ballots belongs to the separate forty-eight states and already, one state has given its younger citizens their rights, Georgia, the most progressive of all the southern states, now allows all of its citizens to vote. , In the eyes of youth, the older voters of the nation haven t got much authority to speak—AT OUR LAST ELECTION IN 1946, APPROXIMATELY 59% OF THE REGISTERED VOTERS BOTHERED TO GO TO THE POLLS! ,. . £ • When a country can call upon its young citizens to fight for it, the young citizens should have the right to express their wishes at the polls. The battle cry of the country's youth continues to be, "Old Enough to Fight—Old Enough to Vote!" Washington should lead the far west in giving its younger citizens the right to vote. The World Today by funk PHILADELPHIA . . . Liberals in the Democratic ranks won a sharp battle Wednesday by including a precise civil rights platform. The Dixie leaders made it known that the race issue was "entirely unsatisfactory to the south." The contents of the second preliminary draft, though marked SECRET was reported to have leaked out. Among the issues involved were an attack upon inflation; low cost housing and slum clearance; Federal financial aid to school systems; continuation of farm price supports; and a sharp condemnation of the Republican party for "lowering taxes on the rich and putting the burden on the poor." WASHINGTON . . . President Truman has decided that he "will be most happy" to have Senator Alben W. Barkley as his vice presidential running mate. ^ BERLIN . . . The Russians have ordered all payments to cover occupational costs of the western allies stopped. The treasury is in the Soviet sector of the city and will undoubtedly be restrained from making payments regardless of orders to the contrary by our military governors. WASHINGTON . . . The State Department has denounced Hungary for arresting persons for listening to broadcasts of the "Voice of America." Mr. Allen, assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs, said "that the present authorities in Hungary are carrying forward what appears to be a systematic campaign to frighten the people of Hungary from listening to the news broadcasts and commentaries on the Voice of America." CAIRO . . . Tel Aviv is bombed as^the Arab-Israeli war begins anew. Israeli guns and mortars opened fire on the Arab held city of Jerusalem. WWCOLLEGIAN VOL. XLVI—NO. 34 FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1948 .

Renshaw Dr. Morton Renshaw, one, of WWC's most popular professors, is leaving our faculty staff at the end of summer quarter. He will be the new counselor for San Diego State College. Dr. Rensliaw has been teaching here for the past two years. When asked why he was leaving, he replied smiling, "oh, salary, sunshine, and security." Dr. Renshaw was born in Colorado in 1909, has light brown hair, blue eyes, stands 6 feet 1 inch in his socks, weighs 190 pounds, likes green for his favorite color, photography as his sport, beef steak, 1 inch thick, medium-well done, drink? no answer! hmmmm. When questioned as to photography being a sport, he quickly replied, "It is when I do it!" wonder what that means? This is the second time he has been in the Northwest. He was previously at the University of Washington, taught in Alaska, and also at Stanford University, California. Stanford, incidentally, is where Dr. Renshaw received his Ph.D. degree. He attended three colleges—Colorado State, Greeley; Colorado School of Mines, and Stanford. For his favorite he chose the same one you would, Stanford. Dr. Renshaw is married with two beautiful children, both girls, one three years old and the other 15 months. Dr. Renshaw dislikes leaving as much as the students and faculty hate to see him go. As a last quote he said, "I have enjoyed the people of WWC very much, both faculty and students. One of my most pleasant jobs was sponsor" of the Campus Camera Club." And with this we say, "Goodbye, Dr. Renshaw, and best of luck." Lakewood Open For Student Use Says Haggard Lakewood property is now available," reports Dr. W. W. Haggard, "to those students who wish to make use of it." Work was done on the grounds and steps were repaired last Friday. General carpentry was done on the structures.

Friday, July 16, IMS By AL BIANCHINI The Olympics of 1948 are due to begin in about a month and the U.S. entries are just about complete. But from articles submitted to various magazines and newspapers, the U.S. team is not expected to do any too well except in a few events. BUT since 1896 the United States has dominated the track-and-field events in each of the eleven games that have been held . . . What would any manager (and the team's "angels") give to have either one of the dream teams that played Tuesday in the All-Star game? From the way the Nats opened up, we thought the outcome was apparent. And from the statistical standpoint the Nats should have: They had eigh| hits and ten men left on base to the American's six hits and and eight men left on base. But the deciding factor is the team with most runs, isn't it? . . . At least the UW four-man crew managed to save some face in the Olympic crew faces. (So?) . . '.. The Rainiers were NOT responsible for the fire which burned Sacramento's stadium—all Seattle did was to provide the kindling and the Solons, of course, were plenty hot. (Weak excuse—but other apologies aren't as yet forthcoming.) . . . The Sport Ed.'s humble and sincere apologies to the Mathes House Softball team. He overlooked the fact that the young lads from Mathes are accustomed to constant bustle and activity, and the competition provided by other teams in the intramural league is not up to the calibre which they expect. How about arranging some all-star game in which the Mathes gang will compete against the best the other three teams have to offer? But why must Mathes brag about its experience (and age) and be so disdainful of the youthful competition given them? Give 'em some little consideration, Mathes, they have not yet developed the prowess and finesse you have had the opportunity to acquire. Intramural Sports Arouse Interest "Quite a bit of interest has been shown in developing our intramural athletic program for the summer quarter." Sam Carver, the program director, continued, "for the second term of this summer quarter, we afe adding a tennis tournament and a volleyball tournament. For those who are interested in getting these programs arranged, you may sign up now on the bulletin board located in the dressing rooms. We would like to get an idea of the number of participants and possibly arrange to play according to a schedule which will be drawn up or we could arrange certain evenings for group participation and leave it up to house groups and various other groups to extend challenges to one another and have these games played on one of our scheduled evenings." Several houses have asked about having one or the other of the above mentioned tournaments, and now that we have been given a vote of enthusiastic approval by the athletic program director, we can expect to have more active participation in our intramural athletic program. So get your "John Henry" on the bulletin board located in the dressing room of the gym as soon as possible so that we may be ready "to go" by the beginning of the second term.

With 1,100 paid subscribers to the college's winter quarter edition already on the books, and more arriving daily, registrar officials were unwilling to venture that the record shattering enrollment of 1202 for fall quarter will be reached before registration ceases, but indicated that the percentage in the usual quarterly drop-off was lower than in previous years. Seventy-five new students have entered WWC to date. Students persuing teachers certificates are holding their own this quarter. See page 1 for the story on these enrollees. Teacher training candidates have shown a steady increase since the 1947 legislatures liberalizing acts. Vet Enrollment Up In spite of statewide news releases stating that over fifty per cent cf the veterans previously enrolled under the G. I. bill (college and on-the- job training) had ceased training, WWC's veteran enrollment has increased. 480 vets are now attending as compared with Fall quarter's 452. More Data Later More complete breakdown figures by departments will be released at the end of the two weeks registration period. ' Shuksan Club Plan Mountain Jaunt With all eyes watching the skies for signs of good weather, the Ski club will leave Saturday for the snowy hills of Mt. Baker. This decision was reached by approximately forty members that attended the meeting held last Wednesday. It was also decided that an all out effort will be made to secure the Ski club emblems that are now in Seattle. Bob Sarvis, of the WWC Ski shop, will accept dues and money that is needed for securing these emblems. Girls Receive Invitation . Miss Muffley announced that the University of Washington is inviting girls from various colleges in Washington to attend a ski meet to be held January 15 at the Milwaukee ski bowl. All girls interested are urged to see her. Overnight Trip Planned Bill Radcliffe, president of the Ski club, hopes that more students will take advantage of these iski trips. He stated, "We have had bad luck getting started but with two more trips planned for this month and with an over-night trip scheduled for the end of the month, we will really be underway." Student Service Funds Needed Speaking before a small group of faculty members and interested students December 19. Bent Jorgenson, a graduate of law from the University of Copenhagen who edited the D a n i s h underground newspaper "Free Press" during the war, stressed the need for the World Student Service Fund on whose behalf he appeared at the College. Explaining the functions of the international student relief organization, Mr. Jorgenson pointed out that although toe 19 different nationals represented in the organization have different religious and political idealogies, they work together to further international background and understanding. Lutro Expects $1000 Margaret Lutro, past president of the Blue Triangle, expressed the hope that Western Washington College's contribution this year would total over $1,000. The service organization which aids students in war-torn areas throughout the world, hopes to gain $1,000,000 with which to carry on its work. 'Biggest Little' Contest Opens What has been termed as the "biggest little contest" in the history of beauty contests will be exposed next week when portraits of candidates entered in the March of Dimes BABY REVUE are unveiled on the main landing. Between twenty and thirty student couples have volunteered to have their children entered in the REVUE which will be WWC's means of raising funds for the infantile paralysis drive. Students will register their choice of candidates by depositing coins in the receptacles provided under the child's picture. The photos, taken through courtesy of Jukes studio, will be loaned to the committee which is headed by Barbara Ritchie. "Many beautiful gifts have been donated by local merchants and will be presented all contestants and mothers during a late January assembly," Miss Ritchie revealed. Simple rules stressed by"the" committee stated only that children must be able to walk but not over three years of age. Studious Gals Earn Break Love lights will burn longer this quarter for many of the freshman class girls whose extra curricular activities have heretofore been restrained by "frosh hours." According to Miss Lorraine Powers, dean of women, freshmen women students whose over-all grade point average for Fall quarter is 2.3 or over will be allowed to maintain the same hours as upper class women. However, this plan will not go into effect until later in the quarter when a complete G. P. average list is released by the registrar's office. "This privilege is only for Winter quarter," Miss Powers warned, "and any student failing to keep her average of 2.3 will be denied the extra hours for Spring quarter." Health Examinations Begin For Freshmen "Every student is required to take a health examination, on entering college," announced Elmira Boothby, college nurse. The purpose of this formality is to form a basis for maintaining the health of the students and to help overcome physical defects. The Nurse's office, is open from 8 a. m. till 5 p. m., Mondays through Fridays. "Illness of a student must be reported to the Nurse's office at once," explained Miss Boothby, "and the student is required to renew his report daily until he has recovered." After recovering from the illness, the student must report in person to the Nurse's office before resuming class attendance. —Photo by Wayne Craig It takes more than the apparent bad fracture (apologies for photographer Craig) and few acrobatic tumbles in the snow to dampen the spirits of Betty Sarvis and Jan Craig. Both feminine travelers, via the Swiss method, are experts in the downhill game. This week's ski trip to Mt. BakeVis the first all'college'ski trip'ofTne year. An overnight trip is scheduled for late January. MIXER IN J. HIGH GYM FOLLOWS BALL GAME Directly following the Viking- Wildcat game tonight, an ail-college recreation hour Will be held at the Junior high gym. Nita Clothier and La Verne Brockmier are in charge of the affair, which is sponsored by the Board of CpntroL Refreshments and dancing will be featured. i Viking Band Invited To Participate In Tacoma Music Fete Various heads of the music department have been accorded the honor of appearing on the program of the annual state convention of the Washington Music Educators Association which will be held in Tacoma today and tomorrow. WWC's band has been invited to present new editions of contest and festival material to be used by high school organizations of the state during 1948. The band will.present 15 numbers tomorrow afternoon at the clinic section from 2 to 4 p. m. Donald Walter, director of the band said today, "It is gratifying to receive the honor of this invitation to appear on the program of W. M. E. N. C, along with the University band." Band members will leave by bus at 6:45 a.m., and will arrive in Tacoma in time to hear the University band present the morning program. Music Staff Attends Bernard Regier, director of WWC's a cappela choir and the civic chorus, is on a panel to discuss vocal problems in schools. Miss McMillan and Miss Booth are on committees working in elementary and junior high school music education. Dr. Frank D'Andrea is speaking on teacher training of music teachers and music supervision in the schools. Party Planned For Writers Members of the Collegian and Klipsun staffs will put aside their publication responsibilities and meet in the lounge, January 15, at 7:30 for an informal party according to Betty McLeod and Barbara Breaz-eale, co-chairmen of the get together. Honor guests will be newly-wed couples Mr. and Mrs. Dick Burrell and Mr. and Mrs. Pat McLaughlin.

Strorig action was necessary to properly motivate the ameliorating changed, but, even the criticized students have generally conceded that the "closed door" course taken was appropriate. Words of advice that are floating through the corridors on ominous wave, lengths indicate that the students will be no longer satisfied with any token modifications. These opinions should be considered by all elected officials. Students will pour.over $26,000 into the student body coffers before spring quarter is over. Of this sum the Board of Control has designated that $2,500 should be spent on social affairs directly for the students themselves. It was direct student participation and enthusiasm that brought the football budget out of the red ink pot for the first time in many years. It is these same students that are demanding, and. rightfully, that a share of their due be returned to them in the shape of a renovated lounge. For years- their student government has paid no heed to their quiet pleas For once these wishes have been brought out into the open . . . AND ACTED ON . . . NOT DISCUSSED AND DISMISSED. Viking Victims Extended Welcome Welcome Wildcats from across the snow ridges of Ellens-burg. Welcome to be our guests and victim at this, the eye-opener of the Winco basketball league.

The mixer in the Junior high gym is open for you to attend. HOWEVER . . . WARNING . . . We have read plenty of wild west stories about you cowboys from the Ellensburg Roundup and have taken all precautions in an effort to prevent you from absconding with our already scarce supply of the feminine gender. All females will report to the good ship VIKING immediately following the game and will be towed out and anchored in Bellingham bay for the duration of your stay. Yes, welcome Wildcats. Welcome to everything but our women and any resemblance to a basketball win. * " Mark Twain once told an aspiring young news reporter, "First get your facts . . . then distort them as you see fit."

The idea of a ski team at WWC is spreading like wildfire. Many students have already signed the petitions for the formation of a ski team. Look for it in the front hall.

Rain Impresses Professor Coming to WWC from California, Clarence L. Shuske, physics instructor, was quite impressed with the amount of rainfall in the Evergreen state. Shuske is a native of Los Angeles and vicinity. All of his formal education was received in that state. He received his B. A. in chemistry and mathematics from Whittier College near Los Angeles, then went on to USC to receive a Masters degree in physics and mathematics. Upon completing his work at that school, Shuske remained a year as a full time assistant instructor. Consolidated Vultee next claimed his services as a research physicist "in their jet and rocket propulsion unit. "I liked that work pretty well, but not .as well as I do teaching," commented Shuske. -' The mathematics , department at USC heid Shuske's interest for a time, since at the time of their marriage, Mrs. Shuske was a mathematics instructor at that school. The Shuskes have a 13 month old baby daughter. Mrs. Shuske is at present teaching social dancing at WWC, as well as making a home for her family at 614 V gt; Ivy street. New Improvements Seen In Library By Dave Orser With the installation • of fluorescent lighting and a new paint job the library will soon reclaim its position as the outstanding building on the campus. Dr. Haggard explained that these improvements were delayed because of the war and the resulting shortage of materials. The new lights, still in the experimental stage here, are the result of a study by the college architects. Bebb and Jones of Seattle. They were custom built to fit the particular lighting needs of the main reading room. The ten fluorescent units, encased in attractive brown metallic shades were installed by the Mills Electric company. Floor outlets were installed under each table last summer. Brighter Walls Coming The renovating schedule includes repainting the walls in the reading-room. Later on it is hoped that cove lighting can be placed above the bookshelves. -Some students think the new lights will minimize certain distractions since the-height of the shades are above the line of vision. Others prefer the incandescent or natural lighting. Thus the present alterations meet the needs of both groups. Children Enjoy Painters At the present the painters are finishing the walls of the Campus school library. Miss Snow reported that the children were coming to the library as usual and safely working around the edges of painters' tarps and scaffolding. Many of the children were fascinated by' the painters at their work. •On several occasions the children were allowed to read in the room across the hall where they were pleased at being permitted to sit in the big chairs.

"Mt. Baker is the best ski land in the country, yet WWC has rib ski team to compete with other schools in the Pacific Northwest." These typical comments are representative of an ever increasing student interest in having a ski team at WWC. The "King of Winter Sports" is a big event in other schools; yet we have been neglecting a great opportunity to make a name for ourselves in. this field. WSC is sponsoring a big winter week ski carnival from January 12-18. This will include skiing, skating, stunts and dancing. The university ski team won third place honors in the Northwest Collegiate Ski Bowl held last year at Sun Valley. Seattle college has a very active ski team. The Chieftains are holding weekly turnouts at Naches pass. The Wenatchee Valley Ski club has seen action at Stevens pass and Lake Wenatchee. Ski clubs are active at PLC and CPS. Are we at Western content t6 sit back and twiddle our thumbs? A petition to solicit ski funds from the Board of Control is now in circulation. Please sign this petition if you are interested in a ski team, even if you aren't a skier. You are invited to drop in at the Collegian office and read the ski news from other schools. Clippings are posted on the bulletin board. Vile Center Is Experienced Frosh Tom Oswold, 18 year old freshman from Ballard high school in Seattle holds down the substitute center spot for the Viks. He stands 6 feet 2 inches tall and does a good job looping them in from just under the basket. Tom is another example of the advantages of high school ball playing. W i t h the experience gotten this year, next year playing from him will probably be somewhat advanced and a lot can be expected. Westerners Underdogs In Tilt Tonight £faai lt;jltt ~f loin The Bench . . . by peters HAPPY NEW YEAR. I don't know how (or why), but the old world finally completed it's 56,404,000,000 mile trip tround the sun and got back, just in time to start over again, all in one pece—I think. Is everybody here? Then grab your hats and dusters and let's go! To start off with, did you do any thinking over that glorious vacation, excluding New. Year's, about a college ski team? If not, then start the new year off right and get busy on it. Let's not be a stick in the mud just because we^ have the best ski slopes in the country. What's wrong with us ... can't we have a ski team like the other colleges? A squad with about 20 members that would be listed as a major sport sounds like a good deal to me. Once we have a squad lined up competition woiddn't be hard to find. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch is willing to back this if Dr. Haggard will give his OK on it. The way things are figured out the squad would get by pretty cheap this season. Of course, that s another sticker—getting the money. There's a petition going around school asking that .^skiing be made a recognized sport. This is more or less a poll | | f d see how many students are in favor of a ski squad. It Wjvould help a lot if you would sign it. Why not drop into the Collegian office and express your opinions further, or leave a note. ' • It's going to be a big night at WWC. A ball game with Central a preliminary and an all-college mixer afterwards, are on the agenda. ..Saturday night is the same deal sans the mixer. Coach-Bill McDonald has been hampered by only two injuries this week and he says that his squad is in tip top shape ready to face the boys from Central. "Moose" Zurline picked up quite a gash in his hand and Dan Rosser sprained his ankle during the vacation. Rosser may put in some time but if he does it will be very little, and the tape on Zurline's hand makes it hard for him to get a good grip on the ball. Something that everybody will notice when McDonald plays the first conference game of the '48 season will be the 15 brand spankin' new uniforms. ..That fancy bit of cloth ought to be quite a morale builder for all concerned. Another "something new has been added" is the preliminary game, one each night. Friday it's the boys from Bob and Elmer's pitted against the Pastime team. Saturday a Canadian squad is coming down from Vancouver, Trapp Tech Alumni, to play Hoot Vetters "Cats." Vetter recently organized a team to compete in the intramural league for the winter quarter. Two hot games each night and a mixer tonight. Game time, 6:30. * Joe DiMaggio signed a New York Yankee contract Wednesday believed to guarantee him about $70,000 for the 1948 season. This will set him up among only a handful of the highest paid ball players in the history of the game. He was reported as asking $75,000, which was what Ted Williams was paid last year by the Boston Red Sox. If this is the correct figure, Joe will become the third highest paid player in baseball today and fifth highest in the annals of the game. "Why that's almost as much as they pay President Truman." Matilda Previews Casaba Series By BILL BAKER Matilda, who didn't know the meaning of the word basketball two weeks ago, has turned into a severe critic of the casaba sport. In fact, after much study and mathematical elimination she is going to stick her neck out and make predictions for the 1948 hoop season. "Eastern Washington has the king spot cornered in the Winco league, says the co-ed, after all didn't a highly favored Idaho team tall at the hands of the Easterners?" George Gablehouse, their speedy forward, would be an asset to any basketball team. He won the Idaho contest with a free throw, and managed to take high point honors. Pacific Lutheran college is slated for the number two place. A crack Washington State club was just able to edge the Lutes by four points in the last few minutes of play. Harry McLaughlin of PLC, was the outstanding performer with 18 points." Matilda glanced around cautiously as she prepared to make her next prediction. Then she blurted out, "Western Washington will place third." The Viks have looked good in all of their pre-season games; winning them all except, of course, the U. of W. games. Seattle college is next on the Winco list. The Chieftains fell once at the/ hands of Western, but they have a lot of ability and height, and may be an able contender for third place honors. St. Martins and Central will battle for the number five niche, according to Matilda's diagnosis. She is giving St. Martins top priority because most of their letter-men are back this year. It seems as though that leaves Whitworth lagging behind in the basement. That's how Matilda picks 'em. What do you think? Letterman Makes Name As Guard Tom Green, one of^Coach McDonald's outstanding answers to the point problem in any maple-court engagement, fills one guard position for the Viks. Tom is playing his second year of the casaba sport at Western this year and has shown a noticeable improvement over his previous experience. He did his prep work on the maples at Ballard high school. Standing 5 feet, 11 inches in height, and having seen 22 annuals, Tom will undoubtedly give himself an even bigger name on the courts when the conference gets under way. Hilltoppers Will Tackle Central Squad Tonight By HAROLD GRONSETH Basketball, western style, will get its initial league test here this weekend as the strong Central Wildcats meet the blue and white at the hilltoppers gym. As the boys from Ellensburg have been named at the top of most, of the sports writer's Winco selections this year, it promise's to be an interesting evening for the Viking fans.

Western Washington students had an eye for beauty and a long list of coed names in their pockets when they cast their ballots for twenty Publications Prom princess candidates in last Friday's assembly. Exactly 200 names were written on provided ballots by approximately 170 male admirers. Final tabulations reveal that of the twenty, ten were freshmen. Five sophomore girls rated high with the men, and the balance was divided between the upper two classes. Bellinghamites will be pleased to know that five of then-home grown beauties placed on the list. They are: Mary Lou Bernhardt, Gloria Carey, Ruby Johnson, Pat Bornstein, and Bernice Chatterton.

Dimes served as ballots and the polling place was the transparent coin collectors fastened, under each of the twenty individual photos of WWC student' children, entered in the 1948 BABY REVUE. Total collections are expected to exceed $135.

Financial Help Available For Vet Building Construction •."-.'• In the spring time it is only natural for young married thoughts "to turn to .". ."home construction, redecoration, or expansion. On the other hand i f is also the ideal time for a virulent form of parasites, home construction finance "bootleggers," to appear on the scene. The maxim, "Caveat emptor" ("let the buyer beware") has been substituted, in some markets, to "let the seller beware," but, according to government information the former saying should still predominate in the housing industry. WWC students planning home building, redecorations, or expansion of any type, are urged to investigate the Federal Housing Administration. Funds are available, at reasonable fees, for such major projects as complete home construction, or, such minor improvement as: roofing, painting, plumbing, wiring,- heating, landscaping, etc. A little investigation before investing may well payoff. Instead of importing "rainmakers" it has been suggested that California inundate it's parched fields with the floods of propaganda that the world has been immersed in since time immemorial.

WHICH I DRANK I had.twelve bottles of whiskey in my cellar, and my wife told me-to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink —OR ELSE. So I said I would and proceeded with the unpleasant task. I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents of the bottle down the sink with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I extracted the cork of the second bottle and did likewise with the exception of one glass which I drank. I then withdrew the cork from the third bottle and poured the whiskey down the sink with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I pulled the cork from the fourth sink with the exception of one glass which' I drank. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank one sink out of it and threw the rest down the glass. I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork down the bottle and drank the glass. I pulled the next cork gt;from my throat and poured, the sink down the bottle. Then, I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink, and drank the pour. When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand and counted the bottles, corks, glasses and sinks with the other, which were 29. To be sure I counted them again and when they came by I had 79, and as the house came by, I counted them again, and finally had all of the houses and bottles and glasses and sinks and corks counted except for one house and one bottle . . . which . . .

The 'gripe' is about an issue that is typical of the way things are handled here at Western. "WHY CAN'T THE MEN'S RESIDENCE HALL BE CALLED SOMETHING BESIDES M E N 'S RESIDENCE HALL?" I have heard the rumor that declares the MRH will never be named because of petty politics and jealousies. Why can't the college authorities get together and call our newest addition some conventional name at least? South hall, Western hall, North hall, any direction they pick—but for the sake of pride, let's get rid of "Men's Residence Hall." What other college in the United States would act in such a manner in naming a beautiful dormitory? The fellows who live there would certainly rather tell their friends at home that they live in South hall than at the MRH at Western Washington college. Definite action should be taken by someone—anyone who -will name that building! Reformingly yours. A Western Booster (Ed.

Campus School Copy . . By BOB DICKSON "The aim of education is not to add to the sum of knowledge. Its purpose is to open the mind and not to fill it, as we would an ash can or even a golden bowl. Education does not exist in and for itself. It is not a good thing as such. It is only an instrument, a tool, which may be used for good or evil. The aim is to use it as a tool for good."—Christian Gauss. SPECTATORS . . .

Kathy Brodahl to John Kanarr and "Booby" Murray to Lee Bow-den: Mmm—those two five pound boxes of chocolates certainly were hurriedly emptied. Puz King, Ellie Wilbanks, June Penn, Janet Virtue, Jo Rucker, Gloria Boyce, Jo Knowles„ and Jeanne Hinthorne went skiing for the week-end. Besides general stiffness (!) and some bruises, the only injury was Gloria's dislocated patella (knee bone to you laymen) . . . WE HOPE SHE FINDS IT SOON! Inn It seems this house has had more than its share of accidents. Shirley Haggblom got her head cut when the car she was in. turned over. And it seems Trish Hume was making some beautiful turns up at Baker when all of a sudden she turned the wrong way. My, what a beautiful shiner! Tillie Thiel is counting the days until Washington's birthday. She's also crossing her fingers—seems a certain guy at WSC is now having his final exams. We are wondering if Shirley Lindstrom is ever going home. Seems she started twice but each time she came back. Come now, Lindy, you shouldn't get an S.-P. and then not go. Pat Clark has been walking around in a daze since Thursday night. Seems she got a telephone call from the University of Washington. It took the guy a long time just to say "Happy Birthday." Pat is now 19. Gee, that was the best cake our housemother made for*her. Our house president commanded me to put this in—She and Pat Hume are going on the overnight ski trip. She wishes someone elso was also going but I guess she's not a good enough salesman. Have fun girls. The rest of us wish we could go but English composition calls us. * Daniels Hall 'Course we don't like to brag, but did any of you students 'n scholars take notice of Daniels hall's dominating number on the receiving end of those Football " W Sweaters in last Friday's assembly. The second year lettermen representing Daniels are * Mel Lindbloom, Howard Brevick, and Dave Smith, along with the first year lettermen: Bud Yonlick, Slatts Salsgiver, Art Svidrian, Al Weber, and Truman Fones . . . All members of the Intramural basketball team, A league, heed this warning! Daniels hall signed on a new player the other night. Come out to the next game and see who ^ it is.

Doghouse here we come . . . We hope Willa Williams will be back with us very soon. We all miss her . . . Bobby Blekkink, Marion McCor-mick, Maxine Axelson, and Lucille Anderson have started the "drop it and pick it up later" knitting club. We expect great things from you girls . . . Seems Marion Armstrong has acquired a new pink Nubby Knit sweater . . . As a parting thought, we offer our condolences to poor little Jerry Woodward whose mean old cold-sore just won't go away. Jerry will accept orchids of any color or size in her time of great sorrow. Hospice Inn According to present plans, the Hospice Fireside this Saturday night will be a gala affair for the Hospice fellows and their guests. Frank Iraola promises good entertainment, and Jack Purdy, the food chairman, promises that we will have plenty to eat . . . Dick Christilaw now holds the record 'for the longest "sack time." He almost missed lunch one day . . . Some Hospice fellows saw a former house member, Herb Witt, on Sunday. He is very happy these days, because the. wedding bells will ring soon for him and Pat Gardner . . . There are rumors that the bells will soon ring for Jim Gilday, too, but there has been no confirmation. Jim was a graduate last year . . . Note to Hospice men: Sh-h-h—Joe Borak is sleeping!

Williams, WWC student, was taken to St. Josephs hospital early Friday evening suffering from a broken neck sustained in an auto accident which occurred one-half mile south of Fairhaven park. Charles Talmadge, 1300 Roland street, Bellingham, the driver of the car, reported -to police officers investigating the accident that the headlights of an oncoming machine had blinded him, causing him to plunge off the road. Miss Williams, whose condition was reported by physicians as "good" on Tuesday, is from West Park. Bremerton. Her Bellingham address is Edens hall. WeddingPlans Announced Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Brassard of Spokane, have announced the engagement of their daughter, Joyce, to Jay Lapp, son of Mr. arid Mrs. A. A. Lapp, of Sumas: Both Miss Brassard and her fiance are prominent students of WWC. The wedding ceremonies will be performed June 19, in Spokane, and the couple^will reside in Bellingham. Lobmer-Kingma Take Vows College Foods Director Is Ardent Sports Fan . "I hope.people know who I am now," said Mrs. Avesta Ward with a rueful smile, "So many think I'm just one of the students." , Petite Mrs. Ward took oyer the position of director of foods at WWC with the end of fall quarter, following the resignation of Mrs. Gertrude Tobiason.

These lucky people ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 January 30 - Page 4 ---------- Western Washington Gollege of Education, Bellinghom, Woshington Friday, January 30,1948 (yhaiqltt "flowi The Bench . . . by peters Fightin' Words: Joe Louis stepped into the spotlight again for the first time since his fight with Jersey Joe Walcott. Only this time he didn't have to worry about his title, just his prestige. The Champ was slated for a four round exhibition with Bob Fox-worth of East St. Louis, m , in Chicago last night. As both fighters were using 16-ounce gloves there probably wasn't too much chin bruising. * The University of Washington jumped into the lead in the northern division of the Pacific Coast Conference basketball standings over the week-end by taking a pair of games from the previous leader, Oregon. Oregon was decisioned by the Huskies with a 48 to 44 count Friday night at Seattle and came through with an even more decisive victory the following night, 56 to 39. The double loss dropped the Ducks all the way down to fourth place. The northern division now stands: Washington, Oregon State, WSC, Oregon, and Idaho. California leads the southern division, with UCLA taking the second place and USC is rated as third. As in football, Stanford is occupying the cellar position. Big Jack Kramer has taken an 11 to 9 lead in his national professional junket with Bobby Riggs in Madison, Wisconsin by winning a 6-4, 6-0 victory before 4,175 fans. His victory was the first love-set victory by either -player in tlieir 20 match series. * Mike Welds, Santa Clara publicist, sees no Immediate hope of Kezar being enlarged for the Shrine game or a bigger stadium being built, but he does have a few suggestions designed to increase the net profits for the Shrine Hospital. "The East was sequestered at Santa Clara, which is my territory," Mike begins. "Every day at least 300 curious citizens climbed the fence of Ryan Field or crashed the gate to see Lujack, Connor, Czarobske, Minisi, Swiacki, Agase and the others. Why not clip 'em for half a dollar? They'd gladly pay it. Baseball charges admission to spring practice games." Santa Clara's Welds would also arrange a joint workout in Kezar by the East and West before the Christmas day for the benefit of those who are shut out. For this he would charge $1 a head. The all-stars wouldn't be required to tip off their strategy. Just run through the motions, that is, go through dummy scrimmage, catch passeerand return punts. Hundreds, ifjfibt thousands of citizens would go for that, provided they had programs to identify the athletes by numbers. The eagerness to see the West at close range would sell pre-game tickets hand over fist. * Last year's Klipsun was sent to the University of Minnesota for a critical reading. When those people came to the section dedicated to skiing they remarked: "What a lucky Campus! To be so close to this winter wonderland!" And we don't even have a ski_ team! No scruples, that must be it. The majority of the student body is all for a team but the Main Drag more or less politely frowns. However, let's not give up hope yet. A college skier sent the following telegram home last week, from Mount Baker "S.O.S.; B.V.D.; P.D.O." Vikings Fighting For Low Man On Totem Pole Position After Letdown at Hands of Gladiators The whistle blew, the horn blared, and the referee called foul! This seemed to be the theme of the Friday night contest between the Viks and Lutherans. Forty-nine to fifty-eight was the final count with the Hilltoppers on the underside, much to the enjoyment of the PLC followers. Also the Vikings were on the low end of a foul calling spree h a n d e d out by the men in Hilltoppers Try Again white. Lutes, 16 fouls; Viks, 26. Moose Zurline was the first lad from the West to bow out, while Jerry Starr followed close behind. Harry Slowed Down It seemed that Big Bill had his sights set on McLaughlin when he tuned up the Westerners last week. Every time the big tipster would come in for his familiar lay-in he would find himself pretty well sewed up. That is where the Vikings got most of their fouls chalked up. Only one bucket behind at halftime, the Viks exchanged field goal for field goal, but fouls proved to be their nemesis. Saturday night the Viks hit the maples again only to take a greater loss at the hands of a smooth PLC machine, 65-39. The first ten minutes of action saw the Lutes leap ahead with a 20-5 tally. -It seems that this first,action led the schedule for the entire contest; the Viks were never closer than 5 points throughout the whole battle. ..Starr was the Vik high point man in this game, until he fouled out, that is. Slo-vek, in his under the basket spot on defense really showed some trickery, checking McLaughlin to lessen his usual high score average. This time Vik fouls were kept to a minimum with only 15 to their credit. Larry Joins Sewing Circle Larry Slovek, a 6 foot 1 inch boy from Sumner, Washington, played his best games of the season last week-end at the new spacious Pacific Lutheran gym. Larry tied up Harry McLaughlin time after time, which was.all that kept "Hot Shot" Harry from running up 50 points instead of the 24 and 30 points on Friday and Saturday nights. I t is Larry that will more-than-likely be one of the first in the ball games this week-end. Winos, D Horns And Hospice Still Undefeated Nearing the last round of play for many of the teams in the present league, action, and plenty of it has been shown on the murals the past week. At present the Winos have a firm grip 'on high honors in the "A" league with five wins and no losses. For the "B" league the D Horns are also holding down first place with five wins and no losses, and Hospice registers four wins to a no loss tally for "C" league honors. With the beginning of this week's contests on Monday, Hospice dropped the Dirty Jerks 35-25, the Winos smothered the Weasels 60-29, the D Horns took the Hoboes 28-22, and the Ocelots lost to the Flying Swedes 40-31. On Tuesday evening Huntoon and the Tigers romped the floor for a close one but the Tigers forged ahead and took the game 39-38. The Collegians also swamped the Teetotallers by a 42-34 poll. Wednesday's conflicts saw the Playboys and Cats lose to the Fish Pirates and Daniels Hall respectively by 42-21 and 34-16. February 6 ends the first round of the winter league, but there still remains enough time for the five top teams in each league to play a second round to count in the percentage standings. Standings until January 29 register as follows for the three leagues: "A" League Won Lost Pet.

The win gave the Viks a fourth place tie with Eastern College and the loss for the Rangers gave them a firmer grasp on the cellar position. Although the southerners threw up a fast and furious offensive during early minutes of the conflict, the opposing defense and offense set up halted any hopes of victory for the hosts. As was expected, Dean Dion was high point man for the losers with 22 points which also proved high score for the evening. The six-foot-four ace forward on Coach X Nar-dy's quintet just couldn't be halted.

In 75 years of the gridiron sport no blue coach has ever been honored as Mr. Odell has. I n two sessions as head coach he left behind a record of 35 victories, 15 losses and 2 ties, thus receiving a 5-year contract, something that-has never before been done at Yale. His record at Yale included four in a row over the traditional rival, Harvard, and four out of five over the equally traditional Princeton eleven.

They sent them their two top crew coaches. Crossroads X: Skiers Invade Baker In Morning Assault By FRAN CORY Tomorrow is "D" day for approximately 60 ski troopers who will invade the Mt. Baker area on their first overnight ski trip of the winter quarter. Carrying full combat gear, which will include skis, sleeping bags, accessories, including that "spirit" for action.

Right next door to this noisy enterprise there was*-a men's residence hall operated by a college. The night shift in "the factory refused to work during the hours of. 10-12 p. m. Their reason?

Trustees Ask For Immediate Funds Release As a result of a board of trustees meeting Monday an immediate request to Governor Wallgren for the release of $125,000 from appropriations made to WWC by the 1947 legislature is in the offing. This sum is to cover a deficit on the heating plant, to purchase two plots of ground necessary for preparatory work on a new auditorium and music building, and to make necessary improvements in the library^ Work on the two new structures is expected to start as soon as spring weather permits. Other campus improvements designated by the board include the purchase of new stacks, and the painting of the walls in the main reading room of the library. A light colored stencil design will predominate when the interior decorations are completed. WWC's board of trustees, which is appointed by the governor and approved by the state senate, is composed of: Vern Branigin, chairman, of Mount Vernon; Joseph Pem-berton, secretary, of Bellingham; and Violet Boede, of Olga. Science Club Opens Active '48 Calendar Among the clubs listed on Western Washington's extra-curricular calendar is the newly formed Social Science Discussion and Action group which meets every two weeks at 7:30 p. m., under the direction of Donald P. Irish, social science instructor. At the last meeting of the club, January 14, the following charter members were elected to hold office for. the ensuing JvWjjate.r-;,quartec:. Fred Gaboury, president; Sarah Mcintosh, vice president; Lyle Daniel, treasurer; Ann Theg, corresponding secretary; Barbara Breazeale, recording secretary. Main projects to be acted on by the club wall be the conducting of opinion polls; securing of movies for the enjoyment of all students; the study of minority groups; unemployment in Bellingham; and an investigation of the possibilities of opening a co-operative for the sale of food supplies to student families. Noted Violinist Will Perform Adolph Koldofsky, violinist, and Gwendolyn Williams, pianist, will be presented January 27 in the college auditorium as a feature of the Artists and Lecture series. The now famous Bibar sonatas to be heard here were the occasion of much acclaim when first played in Los Angeles last June for their premier in this country. There are six in the entire series, all written on Chase, Henderson Cop Revue Honors Students Frolic At Lounge Opening —Photo by Bernie Lepeska Regular inhabitants'of the college student lounge are pictured above enjoying free cokes, playing cards and dancing to the music of Johnny Whitsell and his o chestra at the lounge reopening Monday noon. Those above "knocking themselves out dancing" are, left to right. Gene Robbins, Jean Travenshek, Dolly Mac- Arthur, and Jack Driver. \ Expanding IRC Needs Funds Because the club wanted to be in a position to send delegates to tentative conferences throughout the state, the International Relations club approved the formation of a Jiact-finding committee oh'' fund-: raising methods in its meeting Wednesday evening, January 21. Gordon Sanstad was appointed chairman of the committee. Casting a unanimous ballot, the club elected Barbara Breazeale to the office of treasurer replacing Ray Fender, who resigned. Subject for the program discussion was "Palestine, Past and Future." Mrs. Iduma Miller presented the present situation in the Holy Land and George Dowd gave a brief history of Jerusalem. Special Fines May Be Levied Soon All Junior-Senior proofs now in the hands of students must be returned to the Klipsun office immediately, if a special fine of $5 is to be avoided, according to Betty Mc- Leod, editor. "These proofs are the property of Bruno studios, and must be returned," Miss McLeod warns. This issue of the WWCollegian is respectfully dedicated to the contestants in the March of Dimes campaign, a tribute of the American spirt of giving so that stricken children may walk again. College Road Plans Studied By Stite Fact Finding Group Long dreamed-of plans for better, safer, and wider roadway approaches to Western Washington college may be a reality in the near future as a result of an Interim committee of the State Commission on highways conference in Bellingham last Monday. Although Dr. W. W. Haggard, president of the college, would divulge no further information on probable solutions to WWC's year-round traffic dilemma he did indicate that the fact finding body was "impressed with the necessity of immediate improvements." A total of 34 persons were guests of the college at a luncheon served in Edens hall dining room Monday noon. This group consisted of members of the legislature from Whatcom, San Juan, Skagit counties, and the special Interim committee headed by Senator J. H. Robertson. The college male quartet entertained following the luncheon. the Passion of our Lord. The second half of the program is the beautiful Brahms sonata, "opus 108," in four movements. Miss Williams and Mr. Koldofsky have been well known to many radio listeners in the past for their broadcasts over Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from the Vancouver, B. C. station. When not on tour they reside in California where Miss Williams is on the music staff of Los Angeles college. Mr. Koldofsky has signed a contract with RKO studios. Board Of Control To Nominate Faculty Members For ICC Discussion was carried on by the Board of Control in its meeting Wednesday, January 21, in regard to the proposal presented by the Interclub Council suggesting that the Board nominate the five faculty members from which one will be selected by the administration as faculty representative to the Board. It was decided that a system of seniority among the faculty representatives be used in creating a vacancy, the oldest member's tern expiring every three years. It was reported to the I. C. C» that the position of four quarter woman now held by Gloria Carey and that of LaVerne Brockmier, four quarter man, would be open for election in the coming A.S.B. election slated for mid-February. Lounge Report Favorable Among the many suggestions made to the Board by students as to the additional needs of the student lounge were: ping pong tables; regularly scheduled lounge mixers; and a coffee or coke bar. The art classes are working* on designs for murals which will be painted on the walls in the rec center. The Board expressed a word of thanks to Johnny Whitsell and the college pep band for their participation in the lounge reopening and also to the Senior Hall girls for aiding in publicity. The cost estimate of the lounge expenditures to date runs approximately $363. Play Practices In Full Swing Rehearsals for Oliver Goldsmith's comedy of errors, "She Stoops to Conquer," are well along the way under the direction of Victor Hoppe. Assisting him is Hannah Reimer, who also portrays the maid. Publicity and ticket sales will be handled by Jack Bratton who, in addition, doubles as Sir Charles Marlow. The entire cast includes: "Sir Charles Marlow," J a c k Bratton; "Young Marlow," Donald Sayan; "Squire Hardcastle," Bob B a i n; "George Hastings," Carl Cary; "Tony Lumpkin," Lyle Bickford; "Dig-gory," Emory Bainter; "Roger," a servant, Dick Sanders; "Mrs. Hardcastle," Nita Clothier; "Kate Hardcastle," Patricia Wright; "Constance Neville," Martha Monaghan; the maid, Hannah Reimer. Lounge Opens With Dance After two weeks of inactivity, the lounge reopened Monday noon to the tune of free cokes, and the music of Johnny Whitsell and his orchestra. Approximately $400 has been appropriated by the Board of Control for lounge improvements. Striving, for that "new look," the lounge has additional ash rtays, two coffee tables, two floor lamps and two new rugs. While the juke box furnished music from 1 o'clock on, many of the students of WWC got back to their extra curricular activities — bridge and pinochle games. George Burton, the ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 January 23 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, January 23, 1948 OoitoiiaU . . . School Costs Vets Double Allowance, Poll Shows Results of a recent nation-wide poll by. the American Council on Education, concerning the costs of veterans attending college, as well as other pertinent information, should act as a powerful impetus in pulling a Senate approved bill calling for a substantial increase in G. I. subsistence out of the 1948 House hopper and onto the floor. The average married student veteran spends almost twice as much to stay in school as is allotted him under the G. I. Bili of Rights. The single student exceeds his allowance by almost 65 per cent, the survey, which was financed by the Disabled American Veterans, shows. It involved interviews with a scientific selected cross-section of student veterans at schools across the nation. Unofficial data, released by Dr. Morton Renshaw, of the Research department who compiled WWC's interviews in cooperation with the ACE, substantiated the fact that WWC's married veterans expenses- were on a' par with the nations average of $175.38. This figure is $8538 more than the $90' allotted by the Veterans Administration. Also it was learned that WWC's single vet shells out an average of $106.13 in com- Darison with his allowance of $65. Thirty-six per cent of student veterans said they had to work outside of school to make ends meet. Fifty-six per cent said their wives were working to supplement the family income. The D.A.V. is expected "to place results.of the survey before a congressional committee investigating the status of student vets. The D.A.V. has joined other veterans' groups in urging legislation providing higher college subsistence allowances for ex-servicemen. Action should be taken on this matter at the earliest opportunity. Veterans over the nation can assist by writing sensible letters to their elected representatives in Washington, D. C. At first glance the total of $104.09 seems a tidy sum for college students to contribute to the recent March of Dimes BABY REVUE. However, a more thorough analysis of this figure indicates that 1,100 WWC students opened their hearts and purses to the extent of less than NINE CENTS (PER PERSON. Of the total amount collected, it is estimated by committee members, fifty per cent was donated by parents of contestants and outside visitors. It doesn't take a genius to arrive at a logical conclusion. To an outsider the figures of $104.09 may seem impressive .indeed . .. . but here at home we should bow our heads. Coin collection boxes will be placed around the college for the duration of the January campaign.

A gentleman was very much surprised when a good looking young woman greeted him by saying; "Good evening." He could not remember having ever seen her before. She evidently realized that she had made a mistake, for she apologized and exclaimed, "Oh, I'm sorry. When I first saw you, I thought you were the father of two of my children. She walked on while the man stared after her. How was he to know she was a school teacher? BACHELORS, INC., is the newest men's house on the campus.

They've sung of the love of alligators Of waitresses who loved their waiters; They've sung of Damon's love for Pythias, Love, like the poor, is always with-y- us. But one great love has been neglected; With fame his love has never connected ; One love I have that's become a" habit, Oh, how I'd love to be a rabbit. Oh! you lovely little bunny, I'd rather be you than a movie star's honey; I'd rather be you than the rarest rose, Or a wart on the end of Durante's • nose; I'd rather be you than someone immense, Or a man that paints signs that say "Ladies" and "Gents"; I'd rather be you than Walter Disney, And he's a splendid fellow—isn'e? Perhaps my friends you think it's funny That I prefer to be a bunny; But it isn't because of the warm brown fur That grows on him, or grows on her; Although because he is so fuzzy, He seldom ever shivvers, does 'eV His coat is warm, his coat is sleek, With no down payments and nothing a week; It fits him tight, it don't hang loose, From the tip of his nose to his caboose; In no place does it cease to fit him, It don't get lost, he takes it wit' him. Then come now, what is the reason why I'd so much rather be he than I? To be a hare I think is fine Because his home life is divine; Throughout the winter and the autumn, He propagates like nature taught him; He lives a life of independence, And has thousands of dependents; People too, increase per capita, So does bunny, only rapida; And when March doth roll around, And income taxes are profound, The tax collecter makes a killin', But not from the hare, 'cause he's got chillun'. Not counting children he has lost By hunter's gun or a n early frost, Or measles, whooping cough, or sinus, His income tax still comes out minus. And so my friends you'll please be kind, And not attempt to change my mind. Against each candidate you put up, I'll gladly put my hare up. —Moore.

Everyone had a good time and all look forward to another one soon . . . One of the main attractions at the PLC basketball game last week was the shapely legs of Don "Minnie" Monohan . . . We understand that an Edens' hall girl is willing to do some boys ironing from MRH if they will do her washing . . The dormitory is very fortunate to be securing a coke machine in the near future . . . A few of our boys went up skiing over the weekend and came back none the worse . . . In signing off, all we have to say is, "TALLY HO THE FOX." • Edens Mall It seems that Jeannie Seelye not only can wreck her car on all four fenders at once, but alsoknows what keeps the wolf from the door. Jeannie's only answer to the feat of these accomplishments is: "It isn't easy." . . . Saw Joyce Meuller skiing last Sunday. I t seems she is getting in condition for the "Olympics" . . . That Dorothy Dahl, always at the books. Well, more power and better grades to those who love to study . . . Jo Ann Wear and Barabara McConnell are complaining that the food is not too plentiful at their table. What are you doing girls, feeding it all to Marilyn Rimpler? . . . Violet Reis, not to be outdone by the other ski casualties., complains of a stiff neck. Could it be from the position you assumed on the journey home from our "happy ski grounds"? Off-Campus Girls We're all agreed that the lounge is now a much more cozy place in which to spend leisure time having a chat or a game of cards. Lois Kilander, Pat Bornstein, and Ruby Johnson have again found a place to while away those extra hours . . . By the •way, it seems as if Ruby and Gordie Smith have finally found a happy solution to their problems by going steady . . . Just what ulterior motives do Marion Hardin and Madeline House have in mind when they go window-shopping for dining room sets and kitchen furniture, respectively? They claim to be .studying interior decorating—but we wonder . . . lone Johnston and Marion Nat-trass really went all out to advertise the frosh mixer last Friday. Their "Mutt and Jeff" idea certainly attracted attention . . . We know a certain little gal who should learn a few traffic laws. Running down a pedestrian isn't too good an idea, Mac, especially if that pedestrian happens to be a cop! College Inn College Inn, full of the true college spirit, will be among the rooters at the PLC games this week-end. That wasn't records we heard last Tuesday evening; thanks for the serenade fellows . . . A typical evening at College Inn finds Haroldine with her Sloans liniment and a book of "bowling rules." She's getting pretty good too . . . Joyce has ripped out her socks for the third time now but she knits hopefully on! . . . Shirley and Laura find their evening walks highly interesting; while Muffy sits home and drinks her fruit juice (she's on a starvation diet) . . . Grammatically, concentration and day-dreaming are two different things—but Rosie combines the two very nicely. Concentrating on her day-dreaming that is! . . . P. S. Lots of luck to you team at PLC. Senior Hall Senior hall was transformed into a ski lodge for our successful fireside dance Saturday night . . . Bill Barnett loaned us a huge deer head . . . Phyllis Armstrong made the sign which gave all a good laugh . . . Jo Knowles loaned us her new ski boots to use as candle holders (that is one way of getting your boots waxed, Jo) . . . Puz King, Nita Clothier, Ellie Wilbanks, June Penn, Phyllis Baker, Jo Rucker and Janet Virtue spent "a wonderful day" at the mountain skiing ( ? ) . . . Phyllis Baker must like the "Too Fat Polka" . . . Seems she has part of the words posted on her doorway . . . why, Phyl? . . . Betty Butler and Puz King have been unanimously elected by Charlene Webb and Betty Wright as the world's meanest characters. Hospice Inn Hospice was rather quiet this week-end. Several of the fellows went home, and some spent the week-end on the slopes of Mt. Baker. One of our more energetic members, Jim Loring, is not content with breaking bones while skiing. No, instead he breaks the skiis. This is the second time Jim has come home with more skiis than he had when he left home . . . Do any of you have any spare articles to swap? If you do, see Charlie "Abie" McRae, who has set up a swap shop on the third floor. At publication time, ' nobody had taken the green necktie and the green pajamas that Charlie tried to trade last Sunday night . . . We are all looking forward to the annual house party, which will, be held soon if president Doug Bailey, or social chairman Frank Iraola can find a suitable place for it. Does anyone have a spare barn for rent?

(Ed. Note.: Try the juice of two bottles of catnip.) Daniels Hall The sports field is really clicking at Daniels Hall this quarter, basketball being predominate. The house team is well represented by Buckley. The flashing five consists of Dave Smith, "Slats" Salsgiver, Art Svidran, "Roughhouse" Slay, Jack Jansen and Truman Fones. Mel "Lover" Lindbloom and "Georgeous" George Yonlick are using their talents with the Huntoon five. Another fast breaking quintet is the Dirty Jerks, coached by none other than Jerry "two-point" Waddell. The little Jerks are Ronny "high-point" Sutton, Jim "scud-house" Beasley, Dick "toughy" Vanderford, and Bob "swish" Crippen . . . Plans are now being made for the house fireside. The date will be announced in the near future. Bob Moblo Enters Teachers' College Mr. and Mrs. Robert Moblo and son, Ronald, left yesterday for New York, where Mr. Moblo will enter Teachers' college at Columbia university, working for his master's degree. Moblo, who graduated from WWC last quarter, was prominent in the music department, and was the band leader. He was also a WWCollegian staff member. Boise Set For Ed. Conference Dr. W. W.

Swift Pace Set By Intramural Fast pace is proving to be the winning factor in the intramural basketball leagues. Most of the teams are in good condition, and the pace is terrific. With the three leagues the teams are better divided as to ability and all of the clubs have a chance for the league title. Friday in the A league, the Cats won a forfeit game from Mathes. B league, the D Horns tromped the Teetotallers 35 to 18, and Lost Ten squeezed by the Unknowns 32 to 31. C league, the Playboys got a 25 to 22 decision from the Ocelots. Winos Stil lHot Monday in the A league the Winos showed they were out to repeat their fall quarter championship drive by defeating Iluntoon 54 to 37. This was the third straight for the champs. In the C league the Dirty Jerks scaled the Fish pirates 41 to 22. Card Players Drop Swedes Tuesday—A league: Daniels won a hard fought battle over the Weasels 36 to 31. B league: the Collegians romped the Hoboes 30 to 12, and the D Horns were forced into overtime by a stubborn Blue Devil squad, but finally won 38 to 32. C league: Pinochle Five tabled the Flying Swedes to the tune of 30 to 20. * \om ike Bench . . . by peters "It's a lie. A guy who shoots that just can't make, them good, or can he?" "What a gym rat." "Ohhh, look at that score!" Yep! That's Harry McLaughlin that these people were talking about. Harry, "the hot shot kid," finished the game with 24 pointers to his credit, way ahead of the rest of the gang—either gang. But as to the argument of whether he would stand up against the Huskies' big Jack Nichols, this column lets go with a decided no. Tonight and tomorrow night the Hilltoppers will be playing down south on the Gladiator's own courts. From all reports that will be a couple of rough games. Coming back after the Saturday game, Big Bill will take his twelve men down that way again on Monday to play St. Martin's. Fourth place Vancouver slapped the Bellingham Fircrests out of first place last night by trouncing Bishop and company, 71-65. The Hornets led the Bellingham outfit all through the game. Bishop garnered 23, Baker 19. * Honors to the basketball heroine of the last ten years go to a girl in China . . . China, Texas, that is. The little lady, Barbara Self, scored 4,189 points in 118 games over a period of three seasons. Going even further; that's better than a point for every minute she played. Hey, Mac! Can you use a gal on your squad? I t seems that the new Husky mentor has been going great guns/ to get this year's football squad lined up and whipped into shape. Howie Odell has been calling his prospective players off to the side and showing them movies of past games. Coach Odell is a firm believer in the value of motion pictures as an important implement of coaching. "You can't argue with a picture," remarked Odell, "and the boys who improved most swiftly at Yale were the boys who studied the game movies most closely." Odell has played football most of his active life. He has the reputation of^thoroughness in everything he does, and his ideas of thoroughness is to give the boys who play under him every opportunity'to learn the game of football and learn to play it better.

Organized baseball and the outlaw Mexican league got together last Wednesday in a peace conference at which preliminary arrangements were made to certify the Latin loop into baseball's official family. * THE SKI SCENE . . . Things still don't look too sharp for a WWC ski team. The number one object in the minds of the athletic department is to get rid of the present college bus and get one that runs. According to Coach Lappen-busch, as soon as he can get his hands on a bus the athletics of the College can start expanding. But until then, well . . . it's going to be kind of hard. Vik Five Falls To McLaughlin And Co. In Saturday's Game Western Washington felt the loss of Jerry Starr a^id Stan Peterson, Saturday night, when they bowed to a speedy as well as lanky PLC five. Fifty-five to forty-four was the count handed to the Westerners after doing battle with Harry McLaughlin and four other PLC players. The first horn saw the Viks leap into the fray with plenty of fight, copping the lead for most of the first quarter. It wasn't long in the second quarter be- — A Viking Swisher Strikes Home ActlOR PluS AsSUred In Series Match -Photo by Bernie Lepeska Another two points are added to the Vik scoreboard as Connie Henderson sinks a field goal in last week's Lute conflict on the local maples. Looking on for the Viks are Ray Scott, No. 6, and Jack Graham, No. 9. For the Lutes are Gene Lundgaard, No. 22, and Harry McLaughlin, No. 33. This shot was made during the third quarter when both teams were quite freely substituting and it became highly apparent that the Viks were up against a consistent and hoop-worthy ball team. Nick After Crown Jack Nichols, who racked up an all-time high for Washington last year with 204 points in Northern Division basketball play, apparently is out this year to grab off the division scoring crown and even take a whack at the all-time mark of 253. Despite Small Injury List By FRAN CORY "It wasn't easy" was Char Ellis* crisp reply when asked how she hurt her arm skiing. She and Delores Finnie were the only casualties that marred the otherwise ideal ski trip sponsored by the WWC Ski club last Sunday.

The Ski club bulletins as well as the official bulletin will give details concerning this trip. fore height, as well as "know how," began to tell. The speedy home quintet was outclassed, mainly by long arms and legs. Hot-Shot IfarryP The theme oft7 t he lads from Tacoma seemed to be: get the ball to McLaughlin. There he would stand in the center slot calling the plays and lloing his spectacular under - the - basket lay-in. It looks as if there is o n e all - conference berth all sewed up. In the first half Jerry Starr led some fine under-the-basket skirmishes that saw the Viks in possession of the ball many times. The opposition heaved a sigh of relief when the ex- Cougar was benched because of a sprained ankle. There is some height in the Viking line-up that McDonald can count on from now on. Ray Scott proved ^himself, Saturday, to be an able man under the hoop as well as a mid-floor set artist. He poured in 14 points for high point honors on the Western side. Entertainment at Last Another game that should be mentioned is the half-time contest between Edens hall and Mens' Residence hall. The onlookers enjoyed the rough and tumble skit almost as much as the main game. Accidents happen to the best of them so don't let the sight of crutches and bandaged ankles dampen your ski enthusiasm. With so many people skiing, there are bound to be a few casualties. Tis sad but true. With an Accent Kjell Storelen won the class A honors in the ski jumping contest held at Razorhone hill last Sunday. Just why is it that so many ski experts are from Norway? "Bay gum, aye tank I change my name to Olaf—and talk Swedish.'! One lady spectator who was watching the ski jump from the bottom of the hill got her biggest thrill of the day when a careening ski from a fallen skier came zooming at her only to plummet into the snow at her feet. End of Quote From a hospital bed of an injured skier, quote:'"I broke my leg on my last jump." Howie Odell Hobblm' Jerry i//i Rangers Slated For Viking Clash; Trouble Plans Already Brewing •St. Martin's Rangers still figure on brewing up plenty of trouble in the hot Winco basketball campaign. Their near victories in Winco starts so far this season are proof of the aspirations. .One more non-conference game, with Linfield College of McMinnville, Oregon, remains for the Saints before they tangle with the Vikings of Western Washington College. The Linfield game will be played in the Olympia Armory this Friday night. The clash with the Bellingham Vikings is slated for the Armory next Monday night, January 26. The steady and consistent development is o b s e r v a b l e in Coach X. Nardy's three ace f r e s h m e n , Dean Dion, Jack Swartz and Herm Bachrodt. Dion, the young eager who helped boost the Pascho team to the state prep championship last year, has made the transfer to college ball easily and tops individual scoring with his lay-in and cripple shots. Dion, six-foot- four, is working smoother each game with the tallest man on the squad, six-foot-seven Jack Swartz of Everett. THE PASTIME BELLINGHAM'S MOST SPLENDIDLY APPOINTED CAFE JOE PAGLIA . 1217 Cornwall • DON CAIRNCROSS Phone 982 alias Husky Coach Howie Odell changed his address from New Haven to Seattle last week by signing a contract to coach the purple and gold for one year. The signing of Odell ended the year's biggest coach hunt. Washington sent Harvey Cassill, their graduate manager, on a nationwide hunt to find a coach. Rumors were flying and schools over the country were raising their coaches' salaries. Finally last Friday afternoon the board of regents named Howie Odell as their choice. Uses T-Formation Odell has been using the T-form-ation at Yale, and it is expected that he will bring it out West with him. He is also expected to bring one of his assistants, Reggie Root. When Root was told that Odell was flying to Seattle he said he would go "wherever Howie goes." The coach is a family man. His wife and three children are back in New Haven waiting for their bacon winner to find a place here in Washington to cook the bacon. Vikings scoring Starr, Jerry, is "Big" Bills answer to the point problem in many a tight spot. ..The 22- year-PPPPP

(PACIFIC LUTHERAN MUST FALL TOMORROW.) nThat's a Fact Of interest to prospective female students throughout the state is the startling news released by college officials this week that males comprise more than 60 per cent of the WWC student body. Registration for the 1948 winter quarter totals 1,171 and late comers are expected to swell this number to 1,200 students, a 35 per cent increase over the 1947 winter quarter enrollment. Veteran enrollment has jumped from 452 in the fall quarter to 492 a t the present time. A further breakdown of the registration reveals that 49 per cent of the students now enrolled are working toward certification for positions in the elementary and junior high schools of the state. Tacoma Hears Viking Band Accepting an invitation to perform before the Regional Northwest Band Directors' Clinic held Saturday, January 10, at the College of Puget Sound, the Viking band journeyed to Tacoma. The band, only uniformed group at the meeting, arrived, in time to hear the University of Washington band, under the direction of Walter Welke, conclude its program of class A music. Following the U. of W. band, the CPS clinic band played an hour of class B arrangements. Begnning at 2 p. m. the Viking group under the baton of Mr. Don C. Walter presented two hours of class C music. General concensus of opinion among musicians present was that the trip was a success both musically and socially. Following their performance, the WWC band members boarded their Bellingham-bound bus and arrived home in time for the last half of the Central Washington basketball bout. / • . . . . • • ' • .•.--' . - .

It may be wrong to predict that the offspring of college educated students will be endowed with a higher I. Q. than children of other less educated peoples, but it is safe to presuppose that none can MORE THAN EQUAL the examples of charm and beauty partrayed in t he March of Dimes BABY REVUE photographs now on display. Such is the opinion o r Barbara Ritchie, chairman of the all-college Infantile Paralysis fund drive which opened Wednesday and culminates in a special assembly, January 23. During the program, which includes personal appearances of all candidates and mothers, prizes donated by local merchants, will be awarded to those contestants whose collection boxes show the largest receipt of dimes. Major prizes include a wooden rocking horse, designed and built by woodworking hobbiest Len Hudson, baby blankets, and a silver fork and spoon set. Included in the list of 21 infant prodigies on display are: 19-month-old David Jones, son or Mr. and Mrs. William Jones; Lynette Chase, 16-month-old daughter of the Jack Chase family; Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Hudson's two-year-old daughter Bonnie Jean; three-year-old Carol Jeanne, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence C. Henderson; Janet Lro three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Sanford; Miss Sheryl, two-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bulmer; Pamela Jean, age 10 months/ daughter of the Walt Clayton, Jr., family; and, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Vine's daughter Pamela, age 19 months. Others included are: twin daughters, Joan and Jean, age two, of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Campbell; Georgianna, 1 year-six month, and Theresa Jo, three-year-old, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Duranceau; Miss Kelsey, two year-six month old daughter of the Ross Gary family; and 14-month-old Lynn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.

Tripp; two year-six month old Larry Lee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Prigg; 18-month-old twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Mogush, John and James; Rick King, 18-month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. King; and Mr. and Mrs. John Graham's 19-month-old son, John Jr. Neither near freezing weather nor fog could put a damper on the warm hearted appeal for March of Dimes support staged by the Western Washington band and American Legion drill team, Thursday noon. Spectators gathered at Holly and Cornwall avenue were particularly impressed at the novel and intricate close order marching of the smart drill team. WWC's uniformed band, under the direction of Don C. Walter, attracted considerable comment with its precision accompaniment. The college program is sparked by the fact that a G.

The unidentified student is progressing rapidly now, according to Miss Boothby college nurse. wwx Vcl.XLVI —No. 14 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, January 16, 1948 Mental Regression Itffliftfllliilill —Photo by Wayne Craig Master Larry Prigg and Master Dick King were the envy of the thickly populated Sehome units when their usual mature nature suffered a severe back-slip recently.

Tentative Schedule Formulated For Publications Prom Dance With the tentative theme of a "Sky Room" night club, this year's Publications' Prom promises to be bigger and better than ever, according to Betty McLeod, co-chairman. Slated for Saturday, February 28, the affair will be held, as usual, in the college gym. In keeping with a custom inaugurated for the first time in 1940, a princess will be selected from ten finalists to reign supreme over the prom. "All men are urged to attend the special AWS-Norsemen assembly, Jan. 23, in order to select the 20 girls who will compete for the coveted title," stated Princess chairman Phyllis Armstrong. At this time each man is asked to come prepared with the names of 20 girls of his choice which he will place on provided ballots. At a later assembly, Tuesday, February 10, the top 20 girls chosen by the ballots will be presented. From them, the as„ yet unnamed judges composed of three photographers, will select ten girls as finalists. These ten contestants will then have their pictures taken individually. From the ten photos, a nationally famous critic will pick the one girl who is to reign as the Prom Princess. Last year's winner. June Danielson, was chosen by Wally Westmore, Hollywood make-up artist. Informal Gathering Enjoyed By Staffs Enjoyed by all who attended was the publications party held last evening in the student lounge from 7:30 until 9:30. Dancing and card playing provided the evening's entertainment for members of the WWC Collegian and Klipsun staffs. Surprise novelty gifts were presented to'Mr. and Mrs. Stanley McLaughlin and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Burrell, who are the four newly married colleagues. Betty McLeod and Barbara Brea-zeale were co-chairmen in charge of.the party.

College Males Exhibit Empty Pocketbooks Nation Over Down South, at the University of Oregon, feminine students are still walking around in a daze as a result of a startling revelation made known by a "Daily Emerald" staff reporter. "Joe, College is broke," the university newspaper told, in the gentlest possible family of type, its campus full of cloud-riding coeds. To that statement the male population of WWC echo a faint "Amen." It may be true that business reverses and foreign policies beginning in the industrial and political East are not felt in the West until, a later date,, but, when you discuss the matter of students' financial status you are on common ground whether it is Columbia university or WWC. Banks all over the U. S. report that university accounts have shown a steady decline. War bonds and terminal leave bonds have all gone down the amusement drains in an heroic, gentlemanly attempt to hide the truth from Betty Coed. In fact the barrel is as empty as Edward Pauley's grain coffers. In other words they are cleaned out. All that remains is the margin which dormitory brokers will advance pre-subsistence customers. Befty Coed can help matters considerably. We feel certain that she will once she realizes the importance of this coast-to- coast depression. In the event that too many Betty's forget we suggest a national NO fraternity for all males who are asked into LEAP YEAR traps. Betty must start exercising her natural frugality. If these measures do not alleviate the situation considerably, possibly it would be wise to start a college PFDAEPB (Prevention of Further Deflation of Already Empty Pocket Books) society. . There you have it. Our cards are on the table and our pocket books are in our pockets. You deal, Betty Coed. Joe College will play,, but he must cut down the size of the stakes. Petrillo's record shattering ban of the disc making industry within the U. S., which went into effect January 1, is still proving air tight although the legality of the act has not yet been the subject of a high court decision. If this restriction is not lifted there may be a flood of ingenious youngsters earning record wages by bootlegging the banned articles in from Mexico via the "hoop roiling" method. The adaptability of American students under almost any circumstance was evident last week when the Palouse river went on the rampage and .threatened to inundate Washington State college. One dampish looking scholar remarked. "I challenge . . . I challenge any professor on campus to deliver a dry lecture today." Meanwhile, here at WWC an unusually dry December was reported by the weather man . . . and professors continued as usual. QUOTABLE QUOTES: Guilty." General Bennett E.

Petition signatures are pouring in. Bellingham police are still searching for the sex pervert who has been molesting women on dark street corners. Here is a good chance for the fellows to start a protective agency.

Many fellows agree that flowers are too expensive and quite unnecessary. It's either all or none at all. How about a letter to the editor on this subject? What this country needs is a fourth party—then we could have a good game of bridge. Why' blame the politicians for speculating in grain? Radio comedians have been speculating in corn for years.

Under the capable supervision of Howard D. Rushong, ably assisted by student teacher Lyle Messinger, two new projects will be started this quarter in the junior high; the first, a radio club, with the students building crystal, or vacuum tube sets; the second, cat dissection—this to be in conjunction with the physiology class. ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 January 16 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, January; 16, 1948 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington latest House Hews Men's Residence Hall Men on the third floor request that Bus Brown concentrate on something besides a pinochle deck.

BABY BROWN ARRIVES ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 January 16 - Page 4 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellinghom, Woshingtorv Friday, January 16; 1948 PL/MFT—Pacific Lutheran Must Fall Tomorrow Vila Split Two Game Series On Home Maples; 44-42, Western, 44-40, Central Western's underdog hilltoppers pulled a slick trick out of the bag last Friday night when they handed Central's highly rated but apparently bewildered maple-court quintet a 44-42 defeat in the first of a two-game series on the Viks own court. Both teams showed potent accuracy in the first few minutes of frtay. Peterson led the way for the Viks by sinking four of his first five shots, but this later proved to be his sum total for the evening. Viks Lead Big: Chuck Long- was Central's hot shot in the first half by dropped through 9 points. Even with this mainstay and a terrific defense set up by the entire Wildcat squad, the Viks left the floor at halftime with a 22-19 advantage. With a minute, and a half remaining in the ball game, Western held a 43-37 edge over Central but the tremendously accurate long shots of Nicholson quickly brought the Wildcat tally to 42 while the Viks were held to a single free throw, sunk by Green. As was expected by many, Central's Dean Nicholson came forward for the leading point tally in the conflict. Nicholson looped in a total of 16 points but was followed closely by Chuck Long with 14. For the Vikings, Starr took individual honors by sinking 13 points while Peterson dropped in 10. Also on the Yik score card for Friday night were Ross with 5 points, Green with 4 points, Scott with 4 points and Oswald with 5 points. In Saturday night's game, Big Bill's bunch suffered a hard to take, close but definite 44-40 defeat at the hands of the visiting cowboys. Hoop Evasive Western's inability to drop through the much needed field goals on which Central so capably registered proved the deciding factor on which defeat fell. ..Although shot after shot was taken from the field by the Viks, there was a very decided drop in the percentage made. Of the first twenty-three shots taken by them after the half-time mark, a single score was added to the shiny new scoreboard. ..As known by many, this is a noticeable drop in the usual Western style of ball handling. Again Nicholson carried off individual honors for Saturday night's game with 17 points, while Satterlee of Central, and Ross of the locals came up with 11 apiece. Peterson also came up close with 8 points while Starr reigstered 7, Zurline 2. Green 2, Scott 6, Oswald 1, and Erickson 3. Qlaicld^omTke Bench . . . by peters "We should have won both games," Coach McDonald snapped back. "I feel that we were the" better team on both nights, it's just that the odds were against us Saturday." That they were. Shots from the right and shots from the left and into the valley of defeat marched the Hilltop five. Still they did OK to come up from their underdog position to split the games with Central. Tomorrow the Pacific Lutheran quintet will try for their fourth straight win, this time against Bill McDonald's boys. The Lutes have really made tracks this season. Last Friday and Saturday they hammered Eastern to a 52-49 defeat the first night and 47-33 the second. The Monday following, the formerly tied squad for the Winko first place,, Whitworth# met up with disaster in the hands of Lute forward Gene Lundgaard and center Harry McLaughlin, who led the point list with 22 and 20 tallies, respectively. Those two fellows really did their share in piling up a 73-46 tally. So tomorrow night it's highpowered basketball on the Hilltop courts. • Joe Harvie, a former Fircrest forward, now a T/sgt. in the army, scored 15 points for his Kobe base basketball team in Tokyo Sunday, but lost the game 63-30 to the First Cavalry Division. • Oh! Don't pay an attention to those crutches! It's just something like what happens in a football game, only up in the snow you don't have to have six guys sit on you to fix you up with double joints. All roads lead to the bus. No matter what a person tries to do—start a ski team, take football trips, start a ski team, basketball trips, a ski team, it all stops at that one heading on the list . . . transportation. With the bus that the college has now, the different teams would travel faster if they tried to ski up-hill backwards. Chuck Lappenbusch has tried till he is blue in the face to get a new motor for the bus . . . now he is trying to sell the whole* shebang and start all over again. Lapp says that when he gets his transportation set up, things will go easier all the way around. And that will probably be one of the final steps towards the completion of a' ski team. As for the President's office, the sky doesn't look cloudy at all, in fact it looks like a red sunset from here. A word of congratulations to Gail Bishop and his gang-of Fir-crests for completing a streak of nine consecutive victories to bring them up from fifth place to tie the Seattle Athletics. A typical comment on the game with Vancouver was, "and all of a sudden they were 15 points ahead. I just couldn't believe it." * It looks as if the U. S. skiers are to meet up with some tough luck for the coming Winter Olympics. Art Devlin, the U. S. ski-jumping champ wil| probably miss the games at the end of this month because of a knee injury. However, he is coaching his team members in their practice drills. All the U. S. skiers seem to be able to jump over 213 feet without too much effort and their style is improving. * Johnny Lujack, Notre Dame Ail-American quarterback, was again chosen the male athlete of the year in the annual Associated Press poll. . Lujack drew almost twice as many first-place votes as his nearest competitor. Jack Kramer, national tennis champ, was voted runner-up with 78 credits. Forty-nine credits were given to Joe DiMaggio, flashy centerfielder for the world champion New York Yankees.

Inside the vehicle, sitting, standing, some lying, is a group of college students trying desperately to harmonize in song. They are doing pretty well, too, when suddenly a voice from the center of the group lets go in a highly offensive manner. All eyes turn to gaze upon— no, it can't be—but it is, Matilda. Piled high with everything from ski wax to silver inlaid poles, she readily admits that this is the first time she has ever attempted to take part in the barrel stays sport; but, she explains, "It looks so simple in the news reel, I just know I can do it." Editor's Note: Will all ski enthusiasts please take heed and send a card or some flowers to Matilda. She now resides at the St. Christie, hospital, room 203. Many of the student body at. WWC are in the same position that Matilda is; they have never had the opportunity to learn how to ski. Here in the Pacific Northwest it is a pity not to be able to take advantage of the winter sports that nature has so unselfishly handed us. If skiing is made a major sport there will naturally have to be instructors, or coaches that will teach the beginners how to handle themselves so that they won't be forced to join Matilda in her agony. The possibilities are great, maybe even a school for greenhorns could be started. The ski school in Seattle has really gone over big. Think it over, I'm sure Matilda will. Cats' 24 points to give them a three way tie for first place in the "A" league. Lost Ten also skooted by the Teetotallers on Monday night for a 46-42 victory in the "B" league. Tuesday night the three leagues were represented by two hours of fast ball handling in each court. The Plying Swedes took the Dirty Jerks 25-23. The Winos knocked over Mathes House 33-25. The Hoboes won from the Unknowns 2-0 and the Pish Pirates slightly passed Sehome 19-18. Huntoon and the Collegians made a fine showing on their scorecards Wednesday night when they bowled over Daniels Hall and the Blue Devils respectively. The first game was taken by a 35-25 margin while the second 38-21.

Unconfirmed reports have it that a Seattle resident walking by an un-American investigation h a ll blushed at an "Old look" girl caught in a windstorm, and was promptly placed under surveillance. Ski Team Possible, Says B. C. Aware of the current interest in the possibility of a college ski team, the Board of Control, in its meeting Wednesday, January 4, asked Dr. Keith A. Murray to ask the faculty athletic committee to investigate the sports programs of other colleges and to report back to the Board at the next meeting. It is expected that the petition which circulated among the student body. asking support for the ski team will be presented to the Board next week. Charles Lappenbusch will be asked to be on hand at that time to discuss the advisability of such a movement. It was suggested, but not acted upon, that the Board support the ski team and ski organization with a minimum subsidization. Considerable discussion on the various aspects of the plan were taken up by the Board. Other Sports Discussed In conjunction with the discussion on the skiing topic it was brought up that the college might do well to have a swimming team. Also mentioned was boxing as an organized sport and it was pointed out that several years ago there was some agitation for crew racing at Lake Whatcom. Considering the matter of renam- ~ ing ' the 'Mens'' Residence "naTC the Board decided that it was a matter of jurisdiction outside the Board and (Continued on Page 3) Radio Cast Travels To Hear Program Journeying to Seattle to hear a radio program, the radio broadcasting class under the direction of Sene R.

Meeting Monday through Thursday, the class broadcasts every other Thursday afternoon over station KVOS in a program originating from the college. The alternate Thursdays are devoted to a special broadcast by the college music department under the direction of the broadcasting group. The class is composed of eight members, Rosalyn Roberts, Mollie Harrison, Mrs. Gladys Hooper, Rus-sel Hoppe, Bob Robertson, Norm Robbins, Fred Weirauch, and Hal Gronseth. The Mountain Looks On The Campus —Photo by Clyde Banks And The CampUS LOOKS On The S e a . . . This free adaptation from one of Lord Byron's poems, plus the above scene of majestic Mount Baker overlooking Western Washington College's campus, are blended together to illustrate WWC's attractive advertising program for the summer quarter. Advertisements calling attention to the summer curriculum and degrees offered have been inserted in eight zvestem educational magazines and in the NEA journal. The theme was suggested by Victor Hoppe and was taken from Byron's "The mountains look on Marathon, and Marathon looks on the sea." Deficiency Slips Next Friday "Do not ask for your deficiency slips before February 13, because it slows down the process of getting them ready for other students,'" stated Marjorie Kingsley, recorder in the Registrar's office.

Sociologists See Monroe Reformatory; Seattle Clink To Be Next Port of Call ^Washington State Reformatory at Monroe is penitentiary in architec- ~ lt; ture, but reformatory in program" sociology instructor Donald P. Irish and 14 accompanying sociology students were told last Saturday when they toured that institution. The students learned that inmates are sentenced to the reformatory for felonies for an average minimum sentence of two-and-one-half years. Their average age is about 23 years. No men over 35 years of age are confined, and no juveniles are supposed to be held in that institution. There are about 500 inmates in the penitentiary, the students learned. While there the inmates may undertake home study courses by extension, if they pay the expenses personally. Educational facilities are offered at the institution for grades one to nine, and for commercial courses. There are three instructors to carry on this work. Students Guests of Police Seattle's police force will play host tomorrow to Irish's class in social disorganization when over thirty students tour that city's, information and records bureaus and listen to talks from various Seattle police officers. Although 32 people have indicated their intention of making the trip, there may be room for more..Those interested are invited to contact Irish in the social studies office this afternoon. Dimes Marched To Tune of $118 WWC's contributions totaled $118 as the curtain fell ending the college Infantile Paralysis fund drive. The money was turned over to the city drive after a vigorous campaign including two outstanding features; a Baby Revue contest chairmaned by Barbara Ritchie, and a downtown parade by WWC's band which was enriched by the participation of the American Legion drill ^ team. Dick King, over-all chairman, commented this quadrupled l a st year's total, but still fell below his expectations. T h e Campus school delegates marched to the mayor and proudly presented $85 toward the drive, raising the amount to $203 from the establishment on the hill. HAGGARD HEADS EAST ON INSPECTION TOUR Dr. W. W. Haggard, as chairman of the accrediting committee of the American Association of Teachers Colleges will leave February 11 to inspect Southern Idaho College of Education, Albion, Idaho, for accreditation. Accompanying Dr. Haggard on his tour of inspection will be President J. R. Maaske of Eastern Oregon College of Education, La Grande, Oregon. All Roads Lead To Gala WRA Carnival Tonite An iron curtain of secrecy surrounds the actual groundwork plans laid down by WRA members in anticipation of their annual Winter quarter carnival tonight in the Junior high gymnasium. However, at the insistence of the press the following data was released. According to General co-chairman Beverlee Burnaby and Harriet Lang, the * doors to the '.'Atlanta Boardwalk" will open immediately following the final whistle of the WWC Viking-St. Martin's Rangers basketball game, and remain open until 11:30 p. m. A small admission fee will be charged. Dancing, fish ponds, penny pitches, bowling, bingo, basketball and other assorted sideshows will be the feature attractions of the evening. Door prizes, including a pair of mittens knitted by Miss R u th Weythman, will be awarded sometime during the program. Prizes have been donated by local shops and all profits from the events will be used for girls recreation and recreational equipment. 'Stoops To Conquer' To Be Presented By Dramatic Class If the last show, "Skin of Our Teeth" had a thesis and a moral, the present offering has nothing but merry comedy for all. This famous play by the English doctor, Oliver Goldsmith, which has entertained audiences since 1773, will be presented in the Campus School auditorium March 1-5. I t . is a simple story—the mix-up occurs at an old country house when two young men from London mistake it for an inn and mistake the stout old country squire, Mr. Hard-castle, for the innkeeper. Misunderstanding follows misunderstanding, with a comic assortment of characters and situation, plus an elopement that ends in one of the great funny scenes of dramatic literature. Streamlined Version Division of Drama will present the Goldsmith drama in a streamlined production, which puts this slow moving stage-coach of a play into fast modern tempo. "To accomplish this," explained Director Victor Hoppe, "I had to make shredded wheat out of some scenes! The production will catch the quaint flavor of the colonial English life, (Continued on Page Four) DR.

BC Investigates Possibilities Of Minor Sports Program Awareness of an acute interest on the part of the student body for a comprehensive minor sports program at Western Washington college was evident at the last meeting of the Board of Control. A faculty member has been appointed to investigate the sports programs of other colleges and report his findings at-a later Board meeting. At their next meeting the Director of Athletics has been invited to attend to discuss the possibility of the formation of a WWC Ski team. Commendations are due Board members for their awareness of student interest in a heretofore ignored subject. Commendations will be due this group from WWC students for years to come if such action results in the establishing of skiing, boxing, swimming, and other minor sports as vital part of our athletic curriculum. It is only reasonable to expect that the Administration will be willing to share the responsibilities with the student representatives of financing such an expanded program. Considerable credjt for bringing this desired program before the attention of the administration and student council belongs to a small group of students aroused over the advantageous, proximity of WWC to Mount Baker and the complete disregard past sports planning committees have shown for skiing. With a minor amount of solicitation,, over 275 students have signed a statement to the effect that skiing should be given a position on WWC's sports agenda. The Ski club, one of the largest organizaitons in college, has registered its approval of such a program. More than $16,000 of an estimated income of $26,100 for the year 1947-1948'has been allocated to the men's athletics by the Board.of Control. This means that the student body has designated: over 67 per cent of its total income to be used by no-more than 20 per cent of the total student body. With the proposed expanded program it is estimated that another 30 per cent can participate instead of merely observe their dollars being spent. This can be accomplished with little degree of loss to the efficiency of the present six major sports. • IT PAYS TO EDITORIALIZE' . . . or, we broke our arm patting ourselves on the back.

Beneke Rates High, With Miller Boys Tex Beneke will present his entire retinue of musicians at the Bellingham Armory, Saturday afternoon from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Glenn Miller had always wanted Tex Beneke, his leading tenor sax man and one of the mainstays in his crack orchestra to lead a band. It had always been one of Glenn's main ambitions to some day have the lanky Texan front his own band. They had discussed this often before the war, but it remained a dream until fate took hand to make the dream come true. When the Miller band came home from the war, but without Major Miller, who was reported "missing in flight," Mrs. Miller asked Tex to take over the band's destiny. The band which Tex Beneke inherited is a mammoth orchestra. There are 31 musicians and the "Moonlight Serenaders," a vocal quartet, most of whom played under Miller at one time or another, either in the pre-war civilian band, or in the Army Air Force Band that went overseas. Size is the only difference in the old Miller band and the new. Augmented by strings, the Glenn Miller band led by Tex Beneke is carrying on with all the tunes made famous by the illustrious leader. All the old favorites are in the books, including "In the Mood," "Tuxedo Junction," "Juke Box Saturday Night," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Chattanooga Choo Choo,'' and "Moonlight Serenade." The last named tune remains the Beneke band's theme song. Twe Poets'Qc/tneK THROWING THE SLOPS TO SEA (a sailor's ditty) Oh, throw them to the wind, my dear, And throw them far and wide, That the incoming flood may catcli them And carry them out on the tide. There be cukes and bobbing murphies, And carrots wild and free; There be coffee grounds and turnips mashed, Throwing the slops at sea. So throw them far and wide, my dear, And throw them wild and free, That they may not cling to my good ship's side, Which is so dear to me. —Percy Finnletter. * * « MID-SUMMERNIGHT'S FISHING All summer long I fish for salmon, To help avoid a future famine; I pitch, I puff, I grunt, I s l a v e - Almost until my back concaves. There have been times when I've truly wished That I had never seen a fish; But then again I still have reason To fish again next summer season. The reason is, I might add, My financial condition is pretty bad! —Andrew Vitaljic. Reporter Reveals Men's Dorm Is Doomed To Retain Name By CURT BACH Opportunity as well as necessity haf at this time brought up the subject of selecting a different name for the new men's residence hall. Many students have been discussing the issue pro and con, and in answer to one person who aired the idea in the "Letters to the Editor" column of the WWCollegian this reporter was assigned to ferret out the procedure of the Board of Trustees in naming campus buildings. The naming of WWC buildings is entirely in the hands of the Board of Trustees. It has been .the boards policy in the past to use a functional name, in order to avoid confusion, and to illustrate the purpose of the structures. The only exception to this rule was the naming of Edens hall, which was built in the early twenties. This residence hall was named in honor of J. J. Eden, an early member of the Board of Trustees, and a pioneer resident of Bellingham and vicinity. Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: My vices are many and by virtues not too prevalent. But so far I have managed to slink through my college career without stealing. I don't-intend to place myself in that category in order to satisy a girls false pride. A representative of the fair sex made a statement to that effect in your last issue. In answer to that letter all I can say is: "I get $65.00 to take care of my expenses for one month. I pay $58.00 for board and room. Get a corsage out of that if you can." Also something was mentioned about it being necessary to wear flowers to a prom. It is also necessary to eat! If no flowers means to you no date, then my flora loving girl, don't stay up too late! Sincerely, THE PENNILESS PAUPER. —o- Dear Editor: Evidently it takes an earthquake to move anyone into action around this college! The Collegian is to be congratulated on its stand taken regarding the effort to boost skiing here at Western . . . but, so what? You have shown in your opinion polls and interviews that the students are behind the idea, but still nothing is done in the way of accomplishing something. The college is overlooking an asset of tremendous value when it dismisses the clamor for organized skiing. Hundreds of high school skiers might be attracted here if skiing was to become the pet sport of the entire student body with active support. Here's the present situation—(1) Lappenbusch wants a new bus before he says yes or no to skiing. (2) Dr. Haggard is wary of sinking $10,000 into such a bus. (3) the Board of Control takes no action and looks the other way (4) the students still ask patiently, "CAN'T WE PLEASE ORGANIZE SKIING HERE?" Sincerely yours, A Western Skier. LARGE CROWD ENJOYS ACE SPONSORED MIXER FRIDAY A large crowd enjoyed dancing and refreshments at the ACE sponsored rec hour last Friday night in the Junior high gmy.

It was such an exciting game—sure tough to take when we lost. One of the most necessary articles in a woman's wardrobe nowadays is the scarf. Everywhere you look, you see gay multi-colored or plain silk scarfs. Virginia Prim, Yvonne West, Nits Clothier, Marion Hardin, Madeline House, and Jane Clothier like the plain scarfs with shades from light to dark. Pat McGihnis has a very attractive scarf with shades of aqua and fuschia. Lauralee German wears a heavy silk scarf of yellow, rose and green. Mary Preston looks nice in her multi-colored one. Have you ever given much thought to your favorite saying? You kn»w —the little words that just seem to keep coming from nowhere. Lenny Wardman doesn't exactly have a saying but a subject ---------- WWCollegian - 1948 February 6 - Page 4 ---------- W^SMs^MW-Western Washington Golfege of Education; Bellingham, Washington Friday, February 6, j 948 The greatest rowing college in the world has launched ianother season. Not just any season, but a special one one that comes but once every four years . . . the Olympic Games, to be held this summer in London. What will become of the university boatsmen; will they continue their reign as the champions of oars in the Olympics? It's a long zvay to Piccadilly, London, and the Olympic finals . . . and Coach Al Ulbrickson doesn't know whether or not he has a rowing crew. _ , More than 300 young and aspiring paddle pushers turned out to the first call to practice last Monday and Tuesday. Out of this crop will come two or three eight man teams. With the kind of men that it takes to make-a, crew behind them some of these men should show up at the Olympics. Coach Ulbrickson will direct the launch, road and technical work, and George Pocock will see that they have the finest equipment possible. The city of Seattle has also done their part; they have given the crews the fine practice water, which is right at the crew-house doorstep, plus their solid interest and support. So for Coach Ulbrickson, it's a new year and a new challenge. * THREE WORDS OF CONGRATULATION to Western's basketball rooters. The spirit that you showed at game with the Eastern Savages last Monday night was really something to be proud of. That's the way it should be . . . This is a college . . . not a grade school! Too bad we don't have any more home games this season. NICE GOING GANG! * Last night in Seattle was -Hec Edmundson night. Besides the men who have worn the purple and gold colors, Hec's friends of the University Lion's club turned out enmasse. The gala affair was held at the Edmund Meany hotel, with dinner and speeches on the agenda. A fine tribute to that never-to-be-forgotten Washington mentor. * Back at the University of Kansas, football coach George Sauer resigned so he could take over the coaching duties at Annapolis. He has signed a four year contract with the Navy** :r. Sauer succeeds Capt. Tom Hamilton, whose teams in the last two years have won only two games on schedules as tough as any in the nation. As for Sauer's record: his '47 Kansas team won eight and tied two to take the Big Six (now Big Seven) football title, and went on to come within inches of upsetting Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl game. Looks as if Navy might have a football team- next year. • National Champion Gilbert Dodds shattered his world indoor mile record by winning the Wanamaker Mile, last Sunday, in 4:05.3, cutting more than a second from the previous mark of 4:06.4 set in 1944. The Preacher's time, made on the standard Garden track which measured 11 laps to the mile, eclipsed the previous U. S. citizens' record of 4:06 held by Hill Hulse of the New York Athletic club.

Friday night's conflict got the ball rolling for the Viks when the visitors were set down for a 63-57 tally and hopes of a completely victorious series were expressed by local rooters. Pete High Man Led by Stan Peterson, who pocketed 17 of the Vik points in Saturday's game, the Norsemen exhibited some of the fastest and most accurate ball-handling shown by them this season. The brunt of the remaining Viking score was held up by Jerry Starr and Frank Zurline who basketed 10 and 12 points each while Jack Ross netted eight, Tom Green five, Larry Slovek, four; Ray Scott, six; Pat Drummond, five; and Pinky Erickson, four. The biggest threat thrown up by Whitworth stood in the form of little Bill Roffler, hard hitting Savage guard who held individual honors for the evening with 18 points. Earl Mortlock Out Of Number ot Viking Five and Gordon Brandt also turned in creditable performances by dropping through 10 points apiece. Friday Almost Toss-Up Friday night's match proved more of a tie-up with both teams giving and taking points quite evenly all the way. As usual, those evasive scoring threats, Earl Mortlock and Bill Roffler, handed the Viks the biggest, point threat by hooping 30 points between them. Mortlock wound up with first place scoring honors for the evening with 20 points. Starr High Scoring honors ran somewhat more evenly for the Viks although no outstanding point totals were made. Individual honors went to Jerry Starr for 13 points and Frank Zurline copped 12 for his outstanding rebound efforts under the basket. Next came Tom Green with 10 points while Stan Peterson and Larry Slovek took' seven apiece. Then came Pat Drummond with five credits and Jack Ross and Pinky Erickson with four apiece, while Ray Scott netted a free throw. THE PASTIME BELLINGHAM'S MOST SPLENDIDLY APPOINTED CAFE JOEPAGLIA 1217 Cornwall DON CAIRNCROSS Phone 982 Savage Offense Fools Vikings Hitting hard, Eastern's Savages smashed to undisputed victory over the Viks in the hilltop gymnasium Monday night by a 47-43 tally. Although Western trailed the entire game, as much as 25-17 at halt-time, the sharp shooting of Jerry Starr, who popped in four consecutive baskets, narrowed the lead margin to 42-39 during the last five minutes of game time. These four, plus two more bucketed by Starr and Pinky Erickson in the closing minutes of play brought' the Viks up from a 42-31 lead held by the Savages at the 10-minute mark. The inability of the locals to hang in those close, but no-count, much needed field goals proved the deciding factor in Monday's game. Although they covered the hoop consistently, they just couldn't fill it with leather. Free Wheeling Besides encountering a brick wall defense set up by the visitors, the Viks were having a difficult time halting the free-wheeled scoring of Champ Casaba Fight Due In Early March Intramural championship games will commence the first week of March.
