Philosophical Digit Prowls on Evil DaySUPERSTITIOUS?—Take-a close look at this picture; any of these things ever happen to you? Somepeople seem to think that if you walk under a ladder, break a mirror, spill salt, or let a black cat crossyour path, you've had it. You may not believe any of this, but watch your step today at least. TWs isFRIDAY THE 13th. TimeMachine to Make Homecoming Real Gay Professor Dilliam Wittrich an-*nounced today that his TIME machine would be ready by November Df this year. Wittrich, a brilliantmember of Western's physical science department, has been building a device to conquer time andspace in his spare time. Last spring Miss Kay MacKenzie md Dave Northrup, co-Homecomingchairmen, advanced "Dillie" the lecessary funds to proceed with his metriculous researches. Both Davemd Kay justified their expenditure of student monies by saying, We want the 1954 Homecoming to jethe most authentic ever." "This machine will enable us to jo back to the Gay Nineties and •eallyobserve the fads and fash-ons of that time. We also plan to jring the 1895 coach back to 1954 to issist'Straightline' and his boys in heir trouncing of Eastern's Sav-iges. I wonder if they were using the *T' atWestern then?;,' (ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED Last night in his Sehoiiie cave workshop, Wittrich revealedto a Collegian reporter that only the finishing adjustments needed to be made and the test trials could be run. "It'll be hot to go, by November 5," he said. Professor Wittrich first conceived the possibilty of apractical chrono-dynamic device after completing a nine day spree on "Amazing Stories." Rumor has itthat Pres. Haggard will be brought face to face with himself. The boy will meet the man. How this is tobe accomplished and what laws of time and space will be violated cannot be known at this time. ButWittrich is- determined to attempt this as his key experiment. What this will accomplish isn't knowneither, but Dave and Kay mentioned last spring that it would be nice if the younger W.W.H. could crownQueen Sigrid XVII so that she might reign over the two festivous days and t h e annual Homecoming ballat the armory. In concluding the interview, Professor Wittrich stated that Novem- (Continued on page4) By WIL KNUTSEN A Persian philosopher many years ago sat on a stone slab by a dusty road and,in between mouthfuls of grapes, made a historic comment about how the moving finger writes andnobody on earth can erase this writing. This came as a surprise to me, because I was expecting somecomment about the quality of the grapes — they were really terrible and could have been put to betteruse. The Persian may have been a litle pessimistic. Let's look at it the other way and realize that allgood things we have done will never, by the same token, be taken away from us. Which is another wayof saying that the steaks we fried and the salmon we've baked this summer are now ours. EXISTENCEAnd nobody famous, pious, or witty can take it away from you. The only person who can come close todoing this- would be an Ed. 411 student who may claim you never did eat the steak or bake the salmon.Anyway, you'd never believe it unless you also were an odd-ball solipsist. (A solipsist is a guy whotWnks his girl doesn't exist because she didn't, show up for the date last night.) Concisely, then, wemay say that we have had a lot of nice experr iences this summer which are ours to keep. But bewaretoday—it's Friday, the 13th, and we'don't want to wreck the record now. FATEFUL FINGER FINDSThe moving finger has caught up with us. Our every move is being watched. Don't spill the salt, or let aladder pass over your head. And always keep one jump ahead of black cats. Keep your eyes open-wideopen. The main thing is, don't get flustered. Play it cool, even though it is orientation. A new phase offresh- a bad day.

BLAME ON STARS Todaywe can rationalize any or all our failures as being star-crossed. This plan has real possibilities.Suppose you miss a class. You think of reasons, like these: "The moving hand of destiny picked me uplike a pawn on a checkerboard and put me in the lounge," or, "I got up this morning and found a cigarette butt in my sock. It was an omen," or, "Mother died, God forgot me, and I fell." There are so manyopportunities here. . Tlius we turn this one unlucky day of summer into a lucky one. We (Continuedon page 4) At a special meeting the Board gave final consideration to the individual requests. In orderto be consistent with their previous action, refusing to buy stage risers for the choir, they cut from theorchestra budget a similar request for risers. Bill Nehers and Rodger Williams volunteered to checkthe budget for mathematical errors. It will be mimeographed and distributed for use this Fall, according to Henry Howe, ASB president. GAY VEEP At the regular BOC meeting Wed-? nesday, the Board. ruledthat the vice-president's chair was vacant. Dave Gay, a board member, was appointed vice-president protem, and Gorden Pfister, who will be on the Board in the Fall, was appointed to fill the resultingvacancy on the present Board. At this meeting, the chairman read a letter of resignation submittedby Miss Pat Cain, recently appointed secretary. Marilyn HoL-brook was appointed ASB secretarjr for the remainder of the quarter. Reversing a previous action, the- Board moved to limit the number of Lakewood keys in circulation to five, Ejarjier this summer they d e cided to give one key to each of the 15 boardmembers in order to facilitate easier access to the property by the students. The reconsideration ofthis was in response to a request directed to the board by a student, Armand Daws. Library Books Due Tuesday PM, August 17 AH library books are due Tuesday, August 17 before 9:30 p. m., announces Mrs. Enid Griswold, circulation librarian. Students who need books for a longer period of time canreceive permission at the loan desk for extension of time. Those books not returned by August 20 willhave a $1.00 non-clearance fee charged to them. College Staff Terminates With Farewells This is the last issue of the Collegian for Summer quarter '54 and the. 1953-54 school year. The staff of theCollegian hope that you have enjoyed the fruits of their labors. The Collegian now suspends publicationuntil Freshman Week of Fall quarter. To those persons present only for Summer quarters, we wish tosay that we hope you enjoyed your stay at the "College by the Mountains and the Sea" and that manyof you will be back; with us next summer.— Dave Gayv Editor, WWjCpl-legian. ---------- Western Washington Collegain - 1954 August 13 - Page 2 ---------- Controversy Marks Interest, Spirit With this, the fortieth and last, edition of the 1953-54 WWCol-legian,another school year draws close to the end. The school year past has been eventful, to say the least.Stren- .uous agreements and disagreements have been the order of the day, with periods of calmbetween, in student body affairs. BOARD TEEMS -Student government at Western, the Board of Control, has beei* fraught with dissension, sometimes bitter, sometimes calm, always expressed with volume,loquacity and earnestness. Such a condition, we feel, is greatly to be desired. It may be noted thatduring the past school year student body elections showed a distinct rise in the number of voters taking advantage of their franchise, and that student activities have been better supported. The increase ofspirit on the Board of Control, the center of activities, may have contributed to the overall spirit at theschool. We think it has. A suggestion: Perhaps it would be wise, in the future, to furnish Boardmembers, besides coffee at the meetings, with nerve tonic and indigestion tablets. COLLEGIAN BUSYThe Collegian, too, has had a full year., The 1953-54 school year was the first year of return to a full eightpage paper during the regular year. This contributed, we feel, to more comprehensive coverage of thenews on campus. The policy of the paper during the year has been one of attempting to furnish thestudents with criticism of various facets of Western, both favorable and unfavorable. In an endeavor topresent more than one side of the question, policy has been to open the editorial and the Letter to theEditor columns to considered student opinion. EDITOR GOOFED We consider the greatest mistakemade in the past year, as far as the Collegian is concerned, was the serving of the editor on the Board ofControl while editor of the Collegian. This fact necessarily curtailed the facile operation of editorial opinionon BOC happenings, whether the opinions were to be favorable or otherwise. We have meant the paperduring the past year to have been informative, relaxing, and thought-stimulating. We hope that in whatever measure we have succeeded, we have pleased you. The highest of praise must go to the Collegian staffduring the past year for their diligent execution of duty. And the deepest thanks to Mr. Pat Allan,Collegian adviser, for his wise counsel and staunch support, without which the job would have beeninsupportable, at times. Dave Gay, Ex-Collegian Editor WWCoHegian Page 2 Friday, August 13, 1954Soprano Fault's Performance Concludes A lt;S*L Series By DOROTHY HARBISON The summer series of the Artist and Lecture programs closed last night when Ellen Paull, soprano, was presented in theauditorium at Western Washingtgon College. Miss Paull sang a carefully selected and unusualprogram of great interest, opening with the beautiful Sommi Dei by George Frederick Handel. Badamisto, the opera from which this aria is taken, marked Handel's third visit to England, when he produced it in 1729 at the Haymarket Theatre for the then Royal Academy of Music. ;f I *!* MOOD CHANGES FromRodelinda, another of Handel's Italian operas, "Mio Caro Bene" shows the composer in anothermood which gave Miss Faull a chance to exhibit the flexibility of a charming voice as opposed to thecalm serenity of the first number. For her second group Miss Faull sang five lieder by Johannes Brahmsthat progressed from the whimsical to the declamatory. "Es liebt sich so lieblich in Lenze," "InWaldeseinsamkeit, "Das Maedchen Spricht," "Maedchenlied," and "Bot-schaft" comprised thesenumbers, which were followed by a diversified series of French songs. "Le Temps des Lilas" by Ernest Chaus-son, tells the sad story of how kisses exchanged in the time of lilacs and roses faded with theflowers; "Le Chapelier," a brief little song by the highly eccentric Erik Satie, who lived from 1866 to1925, and wrote many songs of a simliar catchiness to this one that tells of the Mad Hatter in "Alice inWonderland" dunking his watch in his tea to make it go, as Miss Faull explained before singing it mosteffectively. "A Sa Guitare," "Hotel," and "Voyage a Paris" were three attractive Poulenc numbers, t he "Chanson Norvegienne" by the contemporary composer, Fourdrain, closed the group.

The pretty 25 year old graduate student attended theUniversity of Aberdeen, Scotland, from October to February of the 1953-54 school year, pursuing studies in geography which she began under Professor Howard Critchfield in Bellingham. SCOTCH STUDENTSSAME "Those Scotch students have the same interests, and about the same abilities in their schoolwork, as Americans," Barbara said. The Scotch student sweats for his exams where we cram, but it's all the same difference. Barbara found the library system in the Scotch institution almost impossible touse. "The excellent magazines and periodicals are in the libraries, but just try to find them. There is no cataloging system "such as the Readers Guide to Periodical Literature. 3. once looked an entireafternoon and evening to find one single article about a particular subject, when I knew that there hadbeen dozens of such articles written," she remarked. NO RESIDENCE HALLS The University ofAberdeen is not a resident college. Students live in private homes. Barbara was shocked early afterher arrival to be approached by a male student who said, "There's a dandy room for you just acrossthe hall from me." Men and women students live in the same dwellings. Barbara and a friend fromToronto shared an apartment, without vacuum cleaner. The two girls from the Western Hemisphere did in Scotland like the Scotch do, cleaned their rugs with a whisk broom. Classes are somewhat differentin the Scottish university. After the first two years of college the student takes subjects almostexclusively in his own field. The variety of subjects taken by the American student is not known inthe Scotch colleges. DIFFERENT CLASS CONDUCT Conduct of the classes is different from thetypical American class^ room also. Students ask absolutely no questions of the professor and theprofessors rarely call upon students to recite. Most instruction is by lecture. The free-and-easyinterplay of minds found in the American college classroom is not found even at the graduate level at Aberdeen. The University of Aberdeen is picturesque beyond most American universities. Ancient ivy-covered buildings, walks covered in pink crushed stone, and students wearing their academic gowns toclasses and on the campus. After her studies in Scotland, Barbara visited relatives in NorthernSweden and Lapland, and spent a month in Portugal on her return trip to the United States. At presentshe is continuing her •studies in geography with Dr. How-ard^ Critchfield. Across The Board:Legislative Body Criticized By TOM MANNEY Last Wednesday's Board meeting summarized to thisobserver all the many inefficiencies, the petty, personal quibbling, the immature emotional .irrationalbehavior that characterized far too much of the action taken by the BOC this summer. It cannot be saidthat the Board did not accomplish anything constructive, or that it never acted with good judgment. Infact they did This however, should not be news.* IT SHOULD BE NORMAL AND TAKEN FORGRANTED. The purpose of criticism here has been and remains to make the present and futureboards aware that when they act they will have to be responsible to the student body for their actions.To begin with, a majority of the Board, during the seventh week of this eight-week quarter, found itnecessary to interpret the "spirit" of the ASB Constitution so as to remove from office Carolyn Crook,ASB vice-president. At the meeting of August 8, a week prior to last Wednesday, ASB President HenryHowe announced to the Board that since Carolyn Crook is not enrolled this term, the office of vice-president is vacant. Howe recommended the Board accept applications from the students and fill thevacancy at the next meeting. Dr. Van Aver moved to appoint Gorden Pfister to the position and not waituntil next week. The Board agreed, and Gordon Pfister, who has been elected to next Fall's Board, wasappointed. As it happened, however, Howe found he was in error in that Carolyn is enrolled this termand had only taken a two-week trip. At the meeting last Wednesday, Howe ruled that the appointmentof Pfister was out of order. His reason given for this was that a vice-president pro-tem would have to be appointed from the Board before a new member could be seated. The question arose as to whetherCarolyn was still vice-president. Howe said that since she was enrolled for only eight credit hours thisquarter she was ineligible. it The ASB Constitution states that "All candidates must be enrolled for aminimum of twelve credit hours during their terms of office. It was argued that this is a loop hole in theconstitution since does not specifically state twelve credit hours per quarter, but only "twelve credithours during their terms of office." This was opposed by several members on the grounds that the "spirit" of the law must be enforced. The Board was given the responsibility to decide whether or not therewas a vacancy in the position of ASB vice-presidency. The secret-ballot vote decided there was avacancy. Following this up, the Board appointed David Gay vice-president pro-tem and appointedGordon Pfister to the vacancy thus left on the Board. Finally, the Board appointed Miss Crook honoraryvice-president. At least a minority of the Board mem bers regret that she is no longer the elected vice-president. Jukebox The greatest Jukebox is the eve-laing sky There where the colors swirl in coolingpeace And tinted clouds in vivid glory lie; For man alone they give their sweet release. Be wise and drop the weight of tears and watch A graying needle on the golden disc As evening's shadow fingers reachto touch The soul of wise men who are quick to risk A nickel's worth of time to hear The silent music ofthe spheres. —George Cole.

Boston U. Wants Straight Line Info. By JOHN BOLING Charles (Lappy)Lappenbusch, Western's head football coach and director of athletics, whose "Straight Line" is sofamiliar to Viking athletes, has received an offer to join next, summer's faculty at Boston University forthe expressed purpose of teaching his Straight Line Philosophy of football. Lappenbusch, whooriginated the Straight Line, has recently published the third in a series of books on his philosophy.His latest work deals with the Multiple Offense in the Straight Line. In his books Lappenbusch dealswith the fundamental basis of his philosophy in football and basketball and gives the results of its(Continued on Page 4) Student Reports Birds-eye View By JANET VAN AVER "Air travel will not becompletely safe until we can eliminate the drive to the airport." This assertion, expressed by Dr. AlanPawelek, Industrial Arts, is just another illustration that flying is today the cheapest and safest method of transportation. "Statistics prove," Dr. Pawelek continued, "that for the number of air miles traveled,there are fewer plane accidents than is generally believed. The unfavorable publicity crashes receiveconvinces many people that there are more accidents than statistics show. AERONAUTICS STUDIED Monday, August 9, nine students in I.A. 480 and 489, accompanied by Dr. Pawelek, took me with them on a field trip to the Bellingham Airport to increase their knowledge of aeronautics. To learn moreabout power and transportation and how to apply this knowledge to teaching is the purpose of thecourse. Students enrolled in these courses are LeRoy VIENNA CLEANERS, INC.

When we first reached the Airport we were greeted by Earl Erik-son, owner and manager, who escorted our group through the hangar. There we observed workersrebuilding a small private plane. After that we examined a rebuilt Piper Cub, now used for dustingcrops. During the course of our stay various members of our party visited the United Airlines Terminal,the radio and weather stations, and the flight instruction classroom. FLIGHT INTERESTING The mostinteresting part of our field trip, however, was the short flight which for some was a first experience.Wayne Fowler, an accomplished pilot, flew our four place Piper Pacer. He lives on Shaw Island and fliesto the airport every morning, the trip taking a short quarter hour. As we roared down the runway heexplained to us the functions of some of the instruments and the type of motor the Piper the runway Icaught a glimpse of Highway 99 which looks like a long silver ribbon. Nearby, the Motor- Vu drive-ih,which I had trouble recognizing from the air, looked like a three sided saucer. On one side of us was theBay and on the other stretched t he prosperous farms near Perndale. We glided past the oil refinerywhich looks much more impressive from the air than it does from the road. We then headed back to theairport. Just before we sailed down has. It was interesting to me to realize that the altimeter records thenumber of feet above sea level and not the height from the ground. Featuring . . . COSTUME JEWELRYF. STANLEY NORMAN Jeweler Hotel Leopold Lobby Pfe. S74 We were now in the air and gainingaltitude steadily as we flew out toward Marine Drive. At about one thousand feet we leveled off andcruised along at 120 m.p.h. At that speed one hardly seems to be moving until the plane hits an airpocket or one sticks his hand out the window and feels the air pressure. As we flew over Western andSe-home hilL we were able to see Lake Whatcom in the distarice. We were lucky to have such a brightday. The shadows of the few clouds in the sky made interesting patterns on the green fields we werenow soaring over. The popping in our ears told us we were losing altitude and it wasn't long before ourPiper Pacer had careened to a stop and we were clambering out of the cockpit. Even though I have flown before it was surely a thrilling experience to wonder again how we look to the birds. Wayne allowed me to handle the controls for a few minutes. Gee! It's much easier to fly a plane than to drive a car—nostop signals, or busy traffic, and no danger of running off the road and hitting a tree. Outlook Not BrightFor Football-Loppy The football outlook for Western this fall isn't too bright, according to CharlesLappenbusch, h e ad coach. "Unless I find some men in the next few weeks," he lamented, "we'll belucky to win one game." This gloomy statement arises from the fact that the squad lost heavily via thegraduation route last year. This is coupled with the fact that several returning lettermen f r om the '53squad are ineligible for one reason or another. John Kulbitsky, the new assistant football coach, has notyet arrived from the east and this leaves all of the pre-season scouting for prospects up toLappenbusch. Kulbitsky comes to Western this fall replacing Ciszek as head track coach and assistantfootball coach. He has been employed by the University of Minnesota as frosh football mentor. Dueto the lack of returning veterans, Lappenbusch is going to be forced to rely strongly on new blood. Hestates the "New kids, inside of six practices, will be starting in the first game." Some returning lettermen which will form the nucleus of the '54 squad are: Willis Ball, All-conference tackle in '53 and anominee for Western's Athlete of the Year; Ralph Squillace, who was All-coast guard for small collegesin '53; Maurice Halleck, center of the '53 squad; Don O'Dell, who made his letter at end as a frosh;George Hansen, husky sophomore, who should be one of the mainstays of the line; Norm Richardson,lots of experience at tackle; and Keith Cabe, guard and tail safety on the '53 squad. Some of those who are ineligible and will be sorely missed are: Don Lapp and "Skip" Kayes, who are both fast runningbacks and really leave a big gap in the backfield with their absence; and Jack Shee-han, fullback.HANDWOVENS SKIRTS, STOLES GIFT ITEMS JUST 3 BLOCKS DOWN FROM COLLEGE CLAIRENIX 510 State Phone 3607-R Keep Washington Green CRUSH YOUR SMOKES Sponsored byPREVENT FOREST FIRES!

Ray Ciszek, who has for several years been Western's track mentor and has assisted Lappenbusch with football, is now studying for his Ph.D. at Boston University. Ciszek has aroused much interest in Lap-penbusch's philosophy around the Boston area and may be partly responsible for the Viking Straight Line Philosopher's invitation to theEast. This could be the "big break" that "Lappy" has been looking for. It will give him a chance to gainna- #oprwid? publicity for his Straight Line teachings.

Early in lifeshe developed a heart condition and was an invalid for years. During this time she studied and readabout music on her own, thereby developing an impeccable background. She completed high school intwo years and then accepted a ELLEN FAULL scholarship at the Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia. CHOSEN BY ORMANDY While a student there she was chosen by Eugene Ormandy to be guestsoloist with the Philadelphia Symphony orchestra. While studying in New York, she accepted acontract to sing with the City Opera company, of which she is still a member. The Boston Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Chicago Symphony and many other leading orchestras have presented MissFaull as guest artist. Oratorio highlights include those with the Oratorio Society of New York, the Dessoff Choirs, and the St. Louis Bach Festival. Leading recording companies have made records of her workand she has appeared on radio and television. Her concert tours have carried her throughout the UnitedStates and Canada. On her program Tuesday evening, Miss Faull will present selections by severalgreat composers. From Brahms, "Maedchenlied" and "Bots-chaft"; from Handel, "Sommi Dei(Radmisto)" and Mio Caro Bene ("Rodelinda"); by Puccini, "Entrance Aria" from "Madame Butterfly"; and by Poulenc, '"Voyage a Paris," Miss Faull will be accompanied at the piano by Wallace Marshall.Occupancy ^of New Dorm Slated For '55 Construction is soon to begin on the proposed Edens halladdition which is slated for occupancy in 1955. Last May President Haggard announced that theFederal Housing and Home Finance Agency had approved a $370,000 Ipan to the college to erectthe building. The loan will be repaid over a 38 year period from dormitory revenue. "Because Western's enrollment is scientifically expected to double by 1961, even more housing will be needed toaccommodate the increased college population," reported President Haggard. The addition will provide housing for 100 additional co-eds. The present social room on the third floor of Edens hall will beconverted into rooms for 16 students and a new social room will be included on the ground floor of thenew wing. The dormitory will be the first new building to be erected at Western since the completion of the A-M building in 1949.

For on those days press and radio released the preliminary report of the Legislative Budget Committee of the State Legislature. An early release stated that "in effect" and "in a nutshell"' the committee had recommended closure of Central Washington College of Educationat Ellensburg. CHAIRMAN ELUCIDATES This was denied by State Senator Carlton Sears of Olympia Thursday morning in a telephone interview with the Collegian. Sears is the committee chairman. SaidSears, "The committee merely conducted a survey of higher education institutions and submitted itsfindings to the legislators. We-have no power or right to recommend the closure of any institution."Senator Sears did point out, however, that the buildings and facilities at Central are in very bad shapeand that the state might save 1% million dollars per biennium in the future by its closure. "By 1960 thisbiennial saving might go as high as 2V2 million," he said. ACTION FROM LEGISLATORS Inconcluding his comments Sears stated that any action on the committee recommendations wouldhave to come from the legislators on the floor at future sessions; that the report of his committee wasmerely the report of a fact finding group. MOVE POSSIBLY UNWISE WWC President W. W.Haggard indicated that he thought a move to close Central could damage the state's teacher educationporgram. President Haggard continued, "In view of the forseeable future increases in public schoolenrollment any curtailment of the teacher education program could seriously affect the state'seducational system. Dr. Haggard further stated that considering our own projected enrollment, and the load that would come with the closure of Central, our teaching and housing facilities at WWCE would be under serious strain. State Representative Hal Arna-son, Jr., from Bellingham (42nd district) madethe following comments concerning the Sears committee report. "It has been felt by some groups instate government that a solution must be found to the problem posed by the needs of the institutions of higher learning in Washington State. Senator Sear's committee has investigated and presentedsome of the facts of this matter to the state legislators. He (Sears) is a conscientious man and this isthe answer of his fact-finding committee to a very complex problem." Arnason said that there would be considerable political pressure from east of the Cascades against any move to close or curtailCentral. "Although I would like to see Western grow bigger I think it DUNLAP would really strainfacilities here. The state may not be ready to increase those facilities at this time," the StateRepresentative said in concluding his comments. In brief it appears that Central Washington College atEllensburg is not being considered for closure at this time. That a fact-finding committe report" was infact, misin-terpeted by the press and radio as recommending the closure of the college. Actually this isfuture business for the state legislature, if it is brought up at all. No action is required by law on suchcommittee reports. BoC Continues Cutting ASB Budget The Board of Control accepted the choirbudget request after cutting it almost in half, in spite of Mr. Bernard Regier's objections expressedto the Board. Mr. Regier is the director of the choir. The items cut from the budget were the taperecorder and stage risers which President Haggard had stated were rightly the responsibility of theCollege administration. Dr. Albert Van Aver said that the Board had established a precedent for suchaction when it refused the Men's Athletic department $400 for the purchase of film. for publicity. The Board decided to h a v e a special meeting Tuesday to complete work on the budget. Wil Knut-son,student faciities chairman, reported that it would be sound to* balance the budget out of the surplusleft from this year's income. In addition to work on the budget, the Board appointed Gordon Pfister tofill the vacancy that exists due to the absence of Vice-president Carolyn Crook. Miss Crook is notattending Western during the second term of summer quarter. Pfister was elected to next year's BOCat the regular election last Spring. He also applied for a Board positon earlier this summer, b ut was notchosen for appointment by Henry Howe's flip of a coin, tie-breaking vote. Indo-China Topic Of DeltaGroup Western's local unit of Kappa Delta Pi, national educational honorary, the Eta Beta chapter, will hold its second and last meeting of the summer Monday, August 9, at 7:30 p. m. in the Arts building.The group will initiate fifteen new members. Dr. James High, education, will speak on Indo-China. He willillustrate his talk with slides on Indo- China. Any student interested is invitee? by the group to the*meeting. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 August 6 - Page 2 ---------- Nameplate Beginning of Tradition? "Old Main" got its nameplate last week, signifying the officialdesignation bestowed upon the oldest building on campus by the last graduating class. The new plaquehas caused the cry for signs on the various buildings to be strengthened. The greatest cry has come from those people who are new on campus, and besides wanting to know just where to go, wish to know thecorrect designation for their destination. TRADITION ENHANCED A more lasting effect of suchdesignation might be the generation of tradition. Of this commodity, Western could use a great dealmore. Some of the more self-contained, pseudo-sophisticated might sneer at such an emotional idea. Itmust be agreed, however, we think, that tradition instilled into future alumni can do a great deal in moving alumni to further the interests of their alma mater. WAIT TILL '61? Graduating classes of the future willundoubtedly follow the lead of the class of '54. Is it necessary, though, to wait till 1961 to have all themajor buildings on campus so designated? There are organizations on, and connected with, the campuswhich could, in this small way, help further the interests of their school. ShalJ we help the lost studentsto find their way? And the waning school spirit to surge again? Let's do it! Youthful Artist Exhibits HisUnusual Mastery of Music WWCollegian Page 2 A~rricc Tka Rnarrl- Friday, August A 1954 /^ C r O S SIneBpSW. By DOROTHY HARRISON There are times when one realizes that age has nothing to dowith maturity, such an occasion arose Tuesday when William Mas selos appeared as the eighth artiston the summer series of concerts at Western Washington College auditorium. Although young in years,Mr. Masselos holds the essence of music in his flexible hands and is destined to go far in hisprofession. OPENS WITH LISZT Mr. Masselos opened his program with Liszt's Variations' on the theme "Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen" by Johann Sebestian Bach, a work which combines the best of bothcomposers, employing as it does choral-like chords of Bach w i th flashing chromatic passages a n darpeggios that are typical of Liszt. Mr. Masselos combined them with an ease that gave the listener afeeling of well-being, whetting his appetite for the fare to follow. In Schumann's "Kreisleriana" the promise was fulfilled. In a small space it is difficult to review such a work since it takes half an hour or so to playand has eight what might be called movements. The Kreisler in question was a Kapellmeister. He was a character invented by Ernest Hoffman, a German writer and composer, who lived from 1776 to 1822and was noted for his fantastic stories. Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffman" were based on the stories. So,Kreisleriana incorporates some of "Kreisler's" fantastic experiences, which, in their executiondemanded of the artist just about every- type of technical skill. FLEXIBLE HANDS Here I might point out that Mr. Masselos has extraordinarily flexible hands, caressing the notes rather than "striking" themwith the result that there is a fluid beauty in his playing that would defy duplication. The Schumann work embraced romance, drama, melody, counterpoint, power, modulation, tranquility, lovely runningpassages—in fact, a brief exposition of Shumann's wares served up by a master hand. Following theintermission, Mr. Masselos gave Debussy's "Reflections in the Water," a limpid treatment during whichone could almost see the lights and shades and hear the rippling of the water. The exacting Etudes, forthe chromatic degrees and for the repeated notes, were also gems of lightness, showing the exquisitequality of Debussy's work in a manner which is seldom heard. In tne fourth group "Jhala" (1952) is theunusual work of Hovhaness, who was born in Boston of an Armenian father and a Scottish mother,the work representing porcelain water bowls which are played with a small stick by the people ofHindustan. Two movements from the First Piano Sonata (1902-1909) of Charles Ives, "Hymn-tune" and "Ragtime" demonstrated* his feeling in the very earliest days of what might be known as modernAmerican music, with its dissonace and the intricacies of the passages for crossed hands. That Iveswas a humorist is shown in his "Essays Before a Sonata" (which he wrote to introduce his SecondSonata) which he dedicates to "those who can't stand his music—and the music to those who canstand his essays; to those who can't stand his essays; to those respectfully dedicated." I do not thinkthere were many of those present Tuesday night.

Opposing Viewpoints Aired By TOM MANNING Personalities again played a too dominant rolein BOC debate last Wednesday. Through situations unrelated to the Collegian this reporter becameregrettably involved in the issue.

And now, pause with me in the shade of ourCollegian and we will reflect on the glories of' the summer and philosophies together. Let us startfrom the beginning, as Shakespeare once said. About eight weeks ago, we arrived, pulling up in frontof the A-M building, looked for a parking spot, drove past MRH, looked for a place to park, wheeled the rod around Main . . . pardon me, Old Main, looked for a place to park, slipped way out past the I-Abuilding, way out, and parked in front of Mastins.

The science and social science departments at thecollege have teamed up to operate the workshop, which is in part planned by the students, who wantto study the things that will be of most help to them in their teaching and administrative positions. Thefollowing story is written by one of the members of the workshop group. In the Western WashingtonCollege Workshop on Conservation and Outdoor Education, Dr. Fred Knap-man, Dr. HowardCritchfield, Miss Marie Pabst, Dr. Bearnice Skeen, and Mr. Stuart Fresk molded "school mams andpaps" into a homogeneous team for study.

Highlights of the day were thediscovery of "bog iron" and George Miller's (Sedro-Woolley schools) baffling question about whetherloamy sand and sandy loam, are two different things. (They are!) On Tuesday Bill Knutzen of the SoilConservation Service joined the group to explain the Fish Trap Creek Floor Control project. We realizedthe complicated relationships in conservation when he told us the many agencies which wereconsulted before the project could be started. At the Canadian border we saw the beginning of a projectwhich had deepened and widened a creek bed so that it could handle the drainage of its large Canadianwatershed. Fields are now producing crops instead of lying under water for six months of the year. Atthe junction of the creek with the Nooksack river digging had begun the day before to deepen andwiden seven miles of the channel to provide better drainage and runoff.

State crews slashed the weed alder. Now the young firs are flourishing inthe sunshine. Katherine Long, Kelso schools, and Hazel Leyendecker, Forks schools, agreed the wildberries were the best they'd seen in a long time. Williams showed us an area where diseased trees hadbeen harvested and another where huge maples, shading more valuable hemlock and cedar, had beentreated with weed killer. A yearling doe, calmly observing our passing, reminded us that wild life is apart of the conservation picture.

CHOW COOKING Asour bus pulled in to Douglas Fir Camp, we saw that Stuart Fresk had preceded us and had a fire burningin the fireplace. Water steamed on the stove, and in short order coffee was ready. Ken Selby.assistant superintendent, Seattle schools, and chairman of the food committee, assisted by MaryDenton, Sedro-Woolley schools, and Bob Peach, Bellingham, efficiently engineered our meal. CooksGlen Wolf, Bellingham, Frances Jones, Oberlin, Ohio, and Faith Starlund, Bellingham, served twenty-five that evening, including guests Stuart Fresk and his son, Dr. Bearnice Skeen and Miss Marie Pabst,college faculty, who drove up from Bellingham for the evening. Ed McFate, Bremerton, directed ourfun about the campfire for the evening. Skits ingeniously portrayed the group's learnings from multipleforest use to safety in crossing railroad tracks. Ross Files, district Forest Ranger, gave us a briefing ofthe next day's trip. BREAKFAST SUBSTANTIAL Julia Gray, Bellingham, Elsie Stoller, Kelso, and Verne Merritt, Auburn, served a "loggers" breakfast next morning. The District Ranger presented Bus Carroll, Regional Office Representative, who talked briefly on the many uses of the forest and emphasizedwise use of our forest resources is the best conservation. Bill Taylor, Forester, illustrated this by tellingof the Canyon Creek timber sale, a five year project designed to harvest mature stand of timber inblocks of alternating clear cuts which will insure a maximum of natural reforestation with a minimum ofsoil erosion by keeping some ground covered by a good stand of timber. Logger Don Dyson explainedthe way in which a private company works within the rules set up by the National Forest Service toharvest the timber crop. Bellingham Theatre Depends on Support By JIM Competition may be thespice and the incentive to business growth. However, there is one business in Bellingham that will die and fold under the pressure of competition. That "business" is-live theatre. In Bellingham such anorganization has an appeal to. only a small portion of the population. If we liken this percentile to aminute piece of pie one can readily see how by sub-dividing no one organization can survive. TheBellingham Theatre Guild almost folded because their piece of pie had almost disappeared. The lastfiscal year was one of the worst the Guild had suffered in all of its twenty-five seasons. It is true that notall its trouble was due to the rapidly evaporating audiences. "JINX" OPERATING Another problem of theGuild in the past year has been the actual production of plays. A jinx seemed to hamstring all but fourattempts to put a show before Bellingham audiences. Both obstacles, the disappearing audiencesand the jinx, may be solved by action taken this week. First of all, the audiences may be coalescedwhen and if the Bellingham Light Opera company does their first show, "The Mikado," on the Guildstage. Overtures to that effect were made by BLOC.

The recent dearth of shows would be overcome if Foil andFeather could produce their shows in cooperation with the Guild. Young Bellingham will be able to show what they can do while obtaining actual show experience. Both Foil and Feather and t he Guild feelthat such cooperation will be materially beneficial. No amount of support from the Bellingham LightOpera company, despite the almost resistless- pressure of Foil and Feather enthusiasm, or thebulldog tenacity of the Guild itself can insure the continuance of the Guild.

One student received burns on his hands, arms andface while leaving the house through the entrance. His four companions escaped uninjured through asecond story window. James Macnab, upon awakening, threw open a door and was greeted by eagerflames. While fleeing through the house he received first and second degree burns on his hands, armsand face. Maurice Hal-leck, Don McCann, Jerry Waner, and Hugh Locker, the other men in the house,made a 15 foot drop from the second floor to safety. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. It is believed to have started in the living room. The owner of the property is living in California. A localrealtor is managing the rental property. Moderate damage was done to the house although the other part of the duplex was not affected. The damaged part of the house will be reconstructed soon. DeanMcDonald was notified around 1:15 a. m. of the fire. Macnab was taken to St. Joseph's hospital fortreatment. He was reported as doing fine Wednesday night and expected to be dismissed some timeThursday. "Help them to help themselves.'* This short sentence will be the motto for the World University Service fund drive at Western next February. With Rosemarie Oldow as their chairman, members ofthe TJSCF have already begun working on plans for the project. The committee held its first meetingThursday, December 2. The drive ,wffl take place during WUS Week, February 11-18, 1955. Committees selected and their ehairmen include Janet-Kay Warneke, kickoff assembly; Bob Strong, posterpublicity; Jan Atteberry, club projects; and Guy Cauthers, special poster work. WHAT IS WUS? Justexactly what is WUS? World University Service is an international voluntary agency which operates aprogram through which students of the world unite to help each other help themselves. Under the WUSprogram of material assistance students and professors in America and other countries contribute toaid students and professors at foreign universities who are in need of support in such fields as studenthealth and student housing. WUS also supplies educational equipment and materials to needyuniversities. It aids student refugees and supplies students and pro- 1200 Students Pre-Register ForWinter Quarter Classes A new system of pre-registration was used for the first time this quarter. "Thenew plan, involving the filling out of class cards, seems to be working quite well. It will save time in finalregistration, January 3, and permits better control of class size," said Ferris. Formerly, class :ards werefilled out by the student as part of final registration procedure. 1200 PRE-REGISTER Over 1200students have pre-reg-istered (Tuesday) )as compared with about 1000 at this time last year, accordingto the registrar. "It begins to look as if enrollment will reach 1450 to 1500 for winter quarter this year as compared to the total of 1280 winter quarter of last year," stated Ferris. "Necessary changes in pre-reg-istratton may be made on December 13 and 14, and on January 3, before completing registration," saidthe registrar. No fee will be charged at these times. CLOSED CLASSES The number of closed classeshas not been unusually great this quarter. Several new sections of required classes have been opened to ease difficulty created by filled classes. "The main difficulties with schedules arise in the case ofstudents who cannot devote a full day to classes because of outside work obligations," said Ferris.Final registration day is January 3. On that day, report to the information desk on the landing in themain hall of Old Main according to the following time schedule of last names: - 8:SO—A, B 9:00—C,D 9:30—E, F, G 10:00—H 10:30—1, J„ K 11:00—L 1:00—M 1:30—N, o ; P 2:00-4), B2:30—8 3:00—T, V, V, 3:30—W, X, Y, Z Datelimi e..

According to "Miss Oldow, WUS works without prejudice to race or creed toencourage and support all efforts on the part of students, professors, and others, to meet the basicneeds of the universities throughout the world. The world-wide program is administered by a staff inGeneva, Switzerland, and works closely with agencies of the UN. For approximately 16 years, WUShas annually conducted fund-raising campaigns on more than seven hundred American campuses tosupport its program. . W h a t " has this organization achieved in the past? In the 1953 drive, some ofits achievements included sending $15,000 to Korea for the purchase and renovation of a building tobe ustfti to house 100 students when completed; and sending $10,0#-worth of food and more than$5,000 worth of scholarship aid to Korean students. SELF-HELP PRINCIPLE The entire WUS programstresses the principle of giving help to self-help. An example of this is: students at a university in Asiamay wish to start a student health service. They will use a WUS grant to obtain a building or room foruse as a clinic and to purchase medical equipment and supplies. The health service, when operating,will charge its student patients a small fee-enough to maintain its operations, or even to expand.Shoreline Teachers Visit WWC Campus Twenty-four teachers and administrators from the Shorelineschool district in Seattle visited the WWC campus on Tuesday, December 7. Included in the group weretwo supervisors, five principals and vice principals, and 13 classroom teachers. Miss Adah Minor,elementary supervisor of the Shoreline school district, was in charge of the group. Arriving atapproximately 9 a. m. the visitors toured the Campus school during the morning, the industrial artsbuilding in the afternoon, and met with the WWC Campus school staff at 2 p. m.

Colleges of Education May Charge Tuition "It would appear that there is no specific constitutional provision forbidding a statutory enactment to allow a reasonable tuition to be charged at the colleges of education," said Attorney General Don East-void ofthe recent proposal by the state legislative budget committee. The committee has been studying thepossibility of requiring tuition at the three Washington colleges of education, Western, Central, andEastern. + At present, the state colleges do not charge tuition; tuition being de- Dr. Ross Tells OfShortage Of Teachers A nation-wide shortage of qualified college faculty members is beingpredicted for 1960, according to Dr. J. Alan Ross, professor of education and psychology at Western.Dr. Ross recently returned from a Salt Lake City meeting of the Northwest Association of SecondarySchools, where he said the impending college teacher shortage was one of the main topics ofdiscussion. "The tremendous wave of World War II babies will soon reach college age," Dr. Ross pointed out. Colleges are already taking about 30 per cent of the high school graduates in this country, hesaid. Based on that figure, college enrollments will increase from 2% to 3 million during the next 5 years. The figure could Jump to 40 per cent, further complicating the problem, according to Dr. Ross. "Wemust find means to attract j fined by Dr. W. W. Haggard of Western, as instructional fees. The $36 perquarter now being charged is for such things as student and health activities rather than instructionalfees. "We are not asking for permission to charge tuition," said Dr. Haggard, after Eastvold's statementwas made public. Asked if he thought a tuition charge would cut down enrollment at the state collegesof education, Dr. Haggard replied: "That is one of the things we are seriously thinking about in thisproposal by the budget committee. We fear it will." The present fees at Western now total $108 per yearas compared to $165 per year, which is the basic tuition charge at the University of Washington.Registrar to Mail Grades to Students "GTades will be mailed to students about December 23," saidRegistrar Don Ferris. They will be mailed to the address given by the student at the time ofregistration. Any address changes should be reported to the registrar's office before the end of thequarter.

NO!! In 1953, about the time the state legislature was meeting, Western was faced with approximately the same situation they face now—the possibility of tuition having to bepaid at Western as well as at the other two colleges of education, Central and Eastern. At that time thebill providing for tuition was voted down. Don Eastvold, of the state legislature budget committee, statesnow that there is no specific constitutional provision prohibiting the charging of tuition at the teachers'colleges. This statement seems to indicate the budget committee is again considering a bill for tuition. Itis felt by the editor that this bill, if passed, would do more harm than good. Several reasons werepresented in the editorial of the issue of February 13, 1953, why passing the tuition bill would beunwise. These reasons still hold true, in the main, nearly two years later. SHORTAGE OFTEACHERS IN STATE The shortage of teachers in Washington is the same if not more of a problemtoday than it was two years ago. For instance, figures in 1953 showed that from 1947 until 1953, 8,814teachers in the state of Washington had quit or had been placed on the inactive list. Many Washingtongraduates are taking jobs outside the state because of more money. SHORTAGE OF COLLEGEINSTRUCTORS SEEN Also, a nation-wide shortage of qualified college faculty members is beingpredicted for 1960. One can readily see that if the tuition bill is passed and the bill does cut down thenumber of teacher-training students, the problem will become more acute. College instructors must startsomewhere, and if the new tuition bill goes into effect many potential college instructors will never finishschool. (See story on instructor shortage, page 1.) The problem is probably more acute than statisticsshow. For instance, many educators today are old and ready for retirement. In 1952, almost 2,500teachers were ready for retirement. Obviously the teacher shortage problem could easily become moretroublesome. LACK OF TEACHERS LONG A PROBLEM Lack of competent teachers has long been a problem, all over the nation as well as in Washington. Some progress has been made. Now the possible tuition bill may again be brought up before the legislature. If passed, this bill will undoubtedly do muchharm to the teaching situation. Many students are able to attend the three education colleges becausethere is no tuition. Competent persons seem to think that, if passed, this bill will hurt enrollment atWestern. For present students, as well as future students, let us hope that if a tuition bill is proposedto the legislature, it will be voted down as it was last time.

DELEGATESREPORT Next on the agenda was a report from the delegates, Virginia Wilkinson and Dave Northrup,who attended the Great Northwest Region of the National Student Association conference held atWashington State college last weekend. The delegates explained the organization of NSA, the workaccomplished by the association, and what benefits Western would receive if we became members ofNSA. (One of the reasons the BOC sent the delegates to the convention was to investigate theadvisability of joining this organization.) The membership fee for national membership in NSA is$50 a year and $25 for Regional fees. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS The committee of tworecommended that we (WWC) do not join National Student Association, but remain an interestedperipheral school and use some of the information facilities that NSA offers. Reasons given for notjoining the organization were the lack of common problems between the larger and smaller schools inthe region, lack of enthusiasm shown by member schools in the organization, (we already belong toEvergreen con- WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Since 1899 Member Intercollegiate PressEntered as second class matter at the post office at BellinRhani by virtue of the act of March 8, 1879Printed by Cox Brothers, Inc., Rellingham, Wash.

" , University of Chicago, Chicago, Ill.^-Student exchange with Russia and theadoption of a fair educational practices code were the main issues discussed by 55 representatives of11 member colleges at a regional National Student association conference held at the University ofIllinois recently. The U. of Chicago is a member of the NSA. (The feasibility of WWC joining theNational Student association has been investigated by the BOC.) On the Russian exchange, thedelegates passed a resolution declaring their willingness "to participate in an exchange of students withany nation—including Iron Curtain countries," with a provision that the students exchanged meet ageand scholastic requirements. Washington State College, Pullman, Wash.—A lie detector test wasadministered recently to girls living in Wilmer hall. The reason for the test was to corner the culprit OTculprits who have stolen articles of value from the dormitory rooms. A house committee is working inconjunction with the college sociology and psychology departments in an attempt to retrieve aneighty-five dollar watch, various amounts of cash, cashmere sweaters, and other articles of clothing.Gonzaga University, S p o k a n e, Wash.—The Gonzaga men's glee club, under the direction of Mr.Lyle Moore, were part of 1500 voices in a choir which sang at a Solemn Pontifical Mass held lastSunday in the new Spokane coliseum. The Mass was a climax to the observance of Marian year. Marian year was proclaimed by Pope Pius XII to call for prayers for peace and to mark the centenary of thechurch's doctrine regarding the Immaculate Concept Virgin Mary. ference which is similar in scope)and the cost of sending delegates to conventions held by NSA would be too expensive. The Board moved and adopted the report submitted by the delegates. NEW STATIONERY Samples of various formats for the new ASB stationery from Mr. Zawacki's Art class were submitted for consideration by the Board.Three of the best samples were selected for further consideration. To get more people interested in the "Writer," Western's creative writing magazine, and to stimulate them to enter the writing contests, theBOC approved a request for funds ($85) for the "Writer" to be used for prize money. WESVETSREPORT A representative from the Wes-vets club reported that, only" $48 of the $85 granted was spentfor the "mixer" last Saturday night and the remainder was turned into the business office. The band cost$42, decorations $1, and the bus $5. Requested Budget Reduced by Board of Control for Balance Togive you,, the student body, a better conception of what happens to the $10.50 (approximately one-third of your registration fee) that you pay into the ASB each quarter, the Finance Committee is presenting thisreport on the ASB budget. All Associated Student Body income for the year goes into a general controlaccount called budget control. This income, estimated to be approximately $50,000 ig divided betweenthe respective departments as approved by the Board of Control in the budget. Any additional monies inbudget control over that delegated or earmarked by the Budget remain in the Control account and may beapportioned by the Board of Control for additional expenditures not specified in the budget. Requests forsame must be submitted to and approved by the Board of Control. It is necessary at'all times that somemoney be available in budget control for unanticipated emergencies. This is allowed for in part byplanning a corir»ervative budget; a conservative estimate of income is made and expenditures areplanned accordingly. During the first part of spring quarter last year, various departments submitted to the Finance and Properties committee a requested budget for the next year. These estimated expenditureswere then presented to the Board of Control by the committee along with data of estimated income forthe following year. The Board of Control found it necessary to cut some $4500 from the requested funds in order to balance the budgets with estimated income.

Large Turnout Hears Manton, Orchestra, onSame Program WWC students and Bellingham townspeople took advantage of two opportunities to hearthe outstanding tenor, Raymond Manton, on Tuesday, December 7, in the college auditorium. Mantonwas enthusiastically received by an audience that nearly filled the auditorium to hear his recital at 10 a.m. During this performance, Manton spoke directly to his audience only once. All other time in theperformance was reserved*— for singing. The tremendously pow- Fantasy," by Churchill-Herfurth. erfulvoice of the artist made the use of a microphone completely unnecessary. ENGLISH NUMBERSPOPULAR The numbers sung in the English language seemed to draw more response from thelisteners than did the Italian, German and French selections. Particularly well received by theaudience were such selections as "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," by Kerby-Forrest, andthe Rachmaninoff-number, "Oh, Cease Thy Singing, Maiden Fair." Arthur Thai violinist, accompanied thetenor in the latter number. During the morning program, Manton was accompanied by Donald Jones at the piano. ONLY ONE ENCORE Since the vocalist was alloted only one hour for the performance, time permitted only one encore'; a well-known aria from the German composer Flotow's opera, "Martha."Manton's performance with the Bellingham Civic Orchestra at 8:15 drew a much smaller number ofWestern students, with the audience being composed mainly of Bellingham citizenry. Western canjustly be proud of the 45 students who appeared among the 80 members of the Civic orchestra, under,the direction of Dr. Frank D'Andrea. WELL RECEIVED NUMBERS Especially well received among theorchestral numbers of the evening were "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," by Bach-Roberts; "Introduction toAct 3," from Wagner's opera "Lohengrin," and the "Snow White The audience was so enthusiasticafter the last number that Dr. D'Andrea used it as an encore. Franklin Nielsen, junior, very ablyconducted the orchestra for the "Rosamunde Overture" by Schubert. Manton's evening performanceseemed quite stiff in comparison with the morning presentation. Not enough practice with the orchestramay have accounted for this. For both performances, Manton's numbers were well selected to interestthe listeners. 'Western Reports', Alumni Bulletin, Completed Shortly The winter copy of WesternReports, a periodical for WWC alumni, will be completed and in the mail by Christmas, according toM. A. Allan, co-ordinator of the booklet. At present, the periodical is in the last stages of printing.Approximately 8,000 alumni will receive the fall quarter booklet. The cover will feature a picture of theaddition to Edens hall. The news covered in Western Reports includes items of interest concerning the coming quarter, news of alumni, news of the past quarter, and the like. Working with Mr. Allan on theperiodical have been James H. Bliss, publications adviser, and Miss Leslie Hunt, English department.Two Positions To Be Open at Edens Applications for two positions in the Edens hall cafeteria will beconsidered this week, announced' Miss Luva Baldwin, dietician. The hours open are from 8:00 to10:00 each morning. The work will be sandwich making and helping with salads. The deadline for theapplications is Monday, December 13. Regular college wages will be paid. Miss Baldv/in asks thatstudents filing applications should bring their winter quarter schedules with them. 16 Students TourShipyard Company, Sixteen students from Western Washington college this week toured theBellingham Shipyard Company in the last of several student visits to local industries this quarter. Theyare members of Dr. Donald MacPhail's "Economic Geography" class. Purpose of the tours is to enable the students to analyze problems of industrial location in relation to local and regional geography, Dr. MacPhail explained. Last Tuesday the group visited the Bellingham Coal Mine. Previously they hadbeen to the Pacific American Fisheries, and the Puget Sound Pulp and Timber Company. The local U.S. Soil Conservation Service office arranged, in, addition, for a tour of a modern Whatcom county dairyfarm and the Darigold plant at Lynden. , Members of the class from Bellingham are: James Aldrich,Louis Armbrust, Barton Clendenen, Ted Hilton, Glenn LaFave, Robert Te-shera, and Frank Uhrig.

Western Adds MathCourses Two new courses in engineering problems have been added to the mathematics curriculum atWestern Washington College, announced Harvey M. Gelder, chairman of the college mathematicsdepartment. The new offerings will bring West-- ern's pre - engineering freshman mathematics curriculum fully into line with curricula of all major colleges and universities. The new courses, Mathematics 111(Dynamics) and Mathematics 112 (Statics), will be offered for the first time in the coming winter andspring quarters, respectively. In line with recent trends the department has also increased the scope ofits analytic geometry course, Mathematics 103, to include analytic geometry and calculus. Atrigonometry course, Mathematics 102, has been reduced to three credit hours. Western RadioClasses to Begin Being idle for the past few weeks, the new WWC Radio club is finally going ahead with its original plans. A good location has been reserved for the club and is being renovated. CLASSESBEGIN Beginning next Monday, there will be radio and theory classes for persons interested inobtaining amateur radio licenses. The classes will be held at 10 a. m. in the old IA building across thehall from the Camera club room.

One factthat is guaranteed is that all news, views, and comments that are expressed will be written with you inmind and any opinions submitted to the staff will be thoroughly read and carefully consid-^ ered. Notlong ago a story appeared on the front page of the "Boston Globe" written by the well-known JeromeSullivan. The article read in part: "The football fan of the future is quite likely to be hearing something like this over the public address system during a game: 'Tackle made by center adjuster Eddie Malinko-vichof McConnellville high; or this: 'Pass interception by the full flexor, Bobby Warner of South Prep'."ANNOUNCER CRAZY? This is football? Dig the crazy announcer. He's real gone, you say. Either that,or I'm just not hep. What's with this "center adjuster" business and this "flexor guy"? Maybe you arewondering what a story printed in a newspaper over 3,000 miles away has to do with WWC. Well, it's ashort, short story revolving around one man, Western's 'athletic director and head, football coach, Mr.Charles Lappenbusch. Practically everyone on campus knows or has heard of Lappy's straight-linephilosophy, but do you know that Coach Lappenbusch's system is being used by many of the "bigname" colleges and also hundreds of "top notch" high schools throughout the country. Here are twoexcerpts from letters received by Coach Lappenbusch: 1. "I'm interested in your book on 'StraightLine Principle' particularly so, since I teach football coaches here at the university." 2. "In the eventour college approves the book, there is the possibility that we might adopt the book as a^text for ourcourse in football." The letter was from Spur-geon Cherry, University of Florida. SNAVELY COMMENTS"I am still far from being an expert on the straight line defense, but I can appreciate something goodwhen I see it." This statement was made by head football coach, Carl G. Snavely, of the University ofNorth Carolina. The list grows and grows as well-known coaches such as Frank Leahy, formerly of Notre Dame, Jim Phelan of the New York Yanks, Henry Frank of Tulane University, Lloyd P. Jordan ofHarvard, and Ara Parseqhian of Miami university send congratulatory comments on Lappy'sphilosophy. Practically every day. Mr. Lappenbusch receives a letter from another coach interested inhis system or seeking information on his book.

In fact, there were bets laid that there wasn't even a WesternWashington College. Western Drops Game to CPS Western lost a close 70-63 non-conference game to the College of Puget Sound in a wide open game at the Western gym last Monday night. Neither teamwas decidedly, in front until the last five minutes when CPS went ahead to stay on a. one-handed pushshot by Bill Medin, with 2:40 minutes to go. Medin was the night's high score with 24 points. The scorewas tied eighteen times and the lead changed twenty-three times. Both teams were hot on the freethrows with Western making 33 out of 46 attempted, while CPS made 32 out of 44 shots attempted.Radliff, Stone, and Jahr led the Western attack with fourteen, thirteen, and ten points, respectively.The score at half-time was 28 to 28.

Well, it would have made a good story if it had been true, but you can't blame aperson for trying. Finals—finals—finals! It's enough to drive a person sane! Some of these tests aregoing to be sheer suicide. Which brings to mind the story of the man who decided to end it all. As hewas making preparations with the rope and standing on a chair, a friend of his came into the room and asked him what he was doing. After being informed he wanted to know why was the rope being tiedaround the-waist. "Well," said the intended victim, "every time I put the rope around my neck —itchokes me."

He picked up right where he left off and played great ball for the"Chiefs" and was a major factor in helping Skagit Valley win the state junior college championship.September of 1951 found our star enrolled in Central Washington college but his stay there wasshortlived as he was drafted into the army on January 9, 1952. Jim was put through his basic trainingpaces at Camp Roberts in California and then in late August he was transferred to the 11th Airbornedivision at Fort Campbell Kentucky. One of the happiest moments of "Big Jim's" life came on January 8, 1954. That was the day he received his discharge from the service. Jim was quick to point out that itwasn't the army that disagreed with him but there are so many things which interest the Viking slot manmore than the monotonous life of a soldier. As a hint to the female populace at Western we mightmention that Jim is single and if you want to get on his good side try discussing hunting and fishing withhim. They are his favorite hobbies and naturally every man is willing to talk over the finer points of hisfavorite outdoor sport. SKIING SEASON IS UPON US—The Mount Baker playground, one of theNorthwest's outstanding ski areas, is literally at Western's back door. Pictured above is one of the runswhich offer skiers an outstanding opportunity to test their skill. Reporter Advises Beginners OnPurchasing Ski Equipment $ SAVE $ | 2 0 Discount WITH OUR CASH AND CARRY 206 E. MagnoliaPhone 265 By JANE MATTIELIGH With winter here and skiing season around the corner, manyWesterners will undoubtedly be taking off for the mountains. Some will be enrolled in ski classesbeing held at Mt. Baker. ADVICE FOR BEGINNERS For beginners, questions will arise as to buying an outfit. It is unwise for a novice to buy expensive equipment right away. After a few times on skis hemay dislike the sport and give it up. After a couple times, of use, equipment doesn't - resell very well. Itmay be best for a beginner to rent his outfit for the first few outings, or buy good but inexpensiveequipment. Here are a few suggestions for selecting an outfit: In order to obtain skis of the cor-' feetlength for safety in all snow conditions and all slopes, one should purchase skis whose tips just reach to the base of the fingers when the arms are outstretched above the head. In selecting a pair of skis oneshould consider the following points: study them to see whether or not they are warped by placing thebottom of one ski against that of the other. Press the skis together. Next, test the spring of the skisby bending the points toward the binding and back toward the gliding surface. Remember to use anequal amount of pressure on each ski. Both skis should have the same amount of flexibility. Select skis will steel edges. These edges run the full length of the bottom side of the ski. They give thenecessary grip on the snow and also protect the skis and add to their life. The end of the poles shouldnot Special on Application Photos 6 for $2.98 Proofs Shown Call 989 for Appt. SANDIS0N WoolworthBldg. reach higher than your chest. BOOTS IMPORTANT Except for skis and bindings, boots are themost important item in the ski wardrobe. The soles should be absolutely rigid with a built-in piece ofsteel to prevent buckling in tight bindings. A deep-cut tongue is advisable. Ankle straps are notabsolutely necessary, but the lacing should reach down to the beginning of the toes so that the bootcan be laced tight around the toot. Regarding the right boot dressing, be sure not to use oil or grease,otherwise the leather will lose its waterproofing and become soft. Polish containing wax is best. It isimportant that the soles never be brought into contact with a hot stove or radiator and that the bootsnot be dried out too quickly if they are wet through. CLOTHING TYPES There are many styles of skiclothing and everyone has his own taste making it hard to recommend a certain" type. However, it isnecessary that the pants, wind jacket, sweaters, etc., keep you warm and allow plenty of freemovement. Ski clothing should not be too heavy, but wind and water repellant. A heavy woolenoverjacket is not recommended. When it gets wet it takes several hours to dry out. A good nylonwindbreaker is best, with a heavy ski sweater underneath^ Nylon drys quickly and is surprisinglywarm. To prevent your ears from freezing wear some kind of headgear with ear "flaps. Wool-linedgloves of water-repelling material are considered the most satisfactory. A skier should not wear morethan two pairs of ski socks.

According to Lt. McKenzie, "the Nautilus is the dream of the future." He described the submarineand explained that its capabilities are closely guarded naval secrets. Use was made of the blackboard during the talk to compare the conventional or present day submarine with the Nautilus. The talk was based upon reports released through the Navy Department^ on the development of the Nautilus. Lt.McKenzie mentioned that many technicalities have been kept secret for obvious reasons. Amongadvantages of the atomic submarine over the present day submarine are: 1. the atomic submarine willbe able to outrun almost any warship afloat; 2. it will travel farther without refueling; 3. it will be able tostay submerged indefinitely; 4. the only limitation on cruising will be the stamina of the men and theamount of food and oxygen carried. The crew, according to the lieutenant, has been training for threeyears. Commander Eugene Wilkinson, a graduate of San Diego State college, is captain.

OFFICE DIFFICULT TO FIND Professor Igor Bevr has his office in room 413. (That was a janitor's closet on the original 1899 plans.) Some people say there is no fourth floor, and that there is no room 413. Maybe that's why it's so hard to find. * Ah yes! This assembledmultitude ahead of me looks vaguely familiar. They are Professor Bevr's other counsellees, all with teno'clock appointments. Oh well, there's only twenty-three of them ahead of me.

"Just a moment while I findyour file here." I take the only empty chair in the office, and carefully readjust the pile of books that holdup the corner where the leg is missing. Professor Bevr finally locates my file folder on the top of hisdesk, underneath a stack of life insurance and magazine solicitations addressed to "Dear Educator."WOMEN ONLY INTEREST "Let's see now, young man.

Birthdays Fall In December December, the month of Christmas carols andlast minute shopping, is important to history students and Americans for the anniversaries of manybirthdays and events. Three presidents' birthdays are in the twelfth month: Martin Van Buren, December5, 1782, was the eight President of the United States. Woodrow Wilson, December 28, 1856, becametwenty - eighth president. Andrew Johnson, December 29, 1808, took office as the seventeenthpresident. Johnson was the only president against whom impeachment was attempted. Othernoted Americans celebrated December birthdays: George B. Mc- Clellan, 1826, was a successful Uniongeneral in the Civil War. George A. Custer, 1839, became a calvary general. He was killed in themassacre of Little Big Horn—"Custer's last stand." Christopher (Kit) Carson, 1809, is remembered asthe American frontier scout. Victor at Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War was GeorgeDewey, born 1837. Partly responsible for today's modern transportation was Charles Goodyear,1800, inventer of vulcanized rubber. Six states were admitted to the Union in the month of December:Indiana, Mississippi, Illinois, Alabama, Texas, Iowa. Over 330 years ago our fore-fathers— thePilgrims—landed at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts, in December, 1620. The most famousAmerican tea party took place in 1773. It was the colonists' Boston Tea Party. Orvill and WilburWright made the world's first flight in a power-driven airplane at K i t ty Hawk, North Carolina. The 1903flight lasted only 12 seconds but left a definite mark on civilization. Can Teachers Read, Write? Harper's Asks "Can our Teachers Read and Write?" was the title of an article appearing recently in Harper'smagazine. This severe criticism of today's teachers should vitally concern students at Western asfuture teachers. Professor in a large Midwestern university, James D. Koerner wonders how illiterate our teachers can be and still go on'teaching in our public schools. Recently he. conducted anextension course in American literature for 28 primary and secondary-school teachers in his state. At the beginning of the course, Koerner made use of a teaching device which he used effectively with hisregular freshman and sophomore students: each week he gave out a set of questions graduating indifficulty, allowing each person to pick his own level, and showing how much each got from the reading assignments. The results were appalling! Not only were there errors in spelling and punctuation, butextreme lack of the ability to communicate the simplest literary idea as well. At the conclusion of hisextremely critical article, Koerner stated that he felt his experience was not an isolated one, and that itIs duplicated many times each year around the country.

In fact* the Muck was forced to chase one of thecallers out of the premises with force. The week-end brought the twenty-second birthday to our oldestmember. The party held to celebrate this occasion was an event that will never be forgotten by thosewho attended. It was needless to say the highlight of the social season at the hall. The exact number of the guests who attended was never quite ascertained by the management. The question was actually unimportant as everyone who was there agreed that it was the most unique, most dancing, most lasting, most eating, most drinking, most interesting, in fact the party was the most. The array of presentsReceived by the honored guest ranged from two dozen of the most beautiful red roses that you ever sawto a purple cow. All in all it was a party of parties.

Many of the girls have exchanged names, and hints arebeing dropped about what each of them wants.

Alki Lodge By WALLY COOPER When intellectuals have then-good times, it's just like a holiday at ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 December 10 - Page 8 ---------- Mailbag: Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: The writing of this letter has been prompted by the review ofthe college production "Boy Meets Girl." It is not our intention to be unkind, unjust or to misrepresentthe facts. Frankly, we are somewhat amazed by Margaret McMullin's article concerning the collegeplay in the December 3rd issue of the Collegian. We could take issue with Miss McMullin on severalpoints in her review, but we shall confine our remarks, for the present, to her review of the cast. In thefirst place, one very important, essential and necessary character was completely ignored in herreview. The strong "character role" of Larry Toms, ably played by Lee Porterfield. Joyce Brose, whoadded greatly to the production as the delightful Miss Crews, was likewise overlooked. . No mention was made of Donna Godfrey, Doug Smith, Bill Schmidt, Jim Kreiss, Ted Hagen or Bob Duvall, all of whomwere most vital to the production as a whole. We feel that Dr. Gerald Kahan deserves more than just acasual mention as "The entire production was directed by . . ." Further, it is felt that Mr. Flanders isentitled to more than the brief remark made concerning his efforts. On the whole, we think it can besafely said that the review of the play was far more disappointing than the small, but enthusiastic groupof college people who supported the play in its two night run. We shall not take issue on other points,such as the age of the production. We could, on this point, however, ask Miss McMullin if she wasaware of the approximate age of Hamlet. Not that "Boy Meets Girl" professes to rank with Shakespeare,but it is food for thought. "In this writers opinion" it seems that "Boy Meets Girl" is simply a "verymediocre play." "This writer fails to. understand how this production ran 235 performances onBroadway." One reason for this failure is obvious in her review of the play, in which a leading role andseven supporting roles were either not observed, not considered, or perhaps, not understood! Whencovering a production for TRY OUR DRIVE-IN CASH AND CARRY MILK PUN Save 14c a GallonPACKAGE ICE CREAM At Our Drive-In Hillvi iew Dairy 1824 Cornwall Avenue We Serve Lunches andRefreshments the press it would seem customary, upon completion of the performance to travelbackstage and obtain information first hand. The Collegian's reporter apparently did not think thisnecessary. A great amount of "review" was obtained from the printed program, available all over thecampus. This is apparent in the facts that: 1. The names of the technical crew were in the same orderas the program listed them. 2. Two members of the company had been changed after the program wasprinted, but their names appeared in Miss McMullin's article, even though one of them happened to be in the army at the time! It is not the intention of the undersigned to try to change any thoughts about "BoyMeets Girl." We would simply like to clarify a few points, and establish some justification for a reporter covering a theatrical production in the manner that Miss McMullin covered "Boy Meets Girl." We couldestablish none. There are two sides to every story, even concerning Hollywood! Respectfully yoursJOHN A. SCHERMERHORN KAYE JENNINGS PLINY L. ALLEN EVALYN BICKERS KERMIT B.JOHNSON Dear Editor: Whether the subject has been covered or not is not important. The factremains that the mixer following the Seattle "U" basketball game was one of the most successful held this year. The credit for this dance should be attributed to the Wesvets for the actual work and stagingof the dance. Also credit should be given to the Pep committee for conceiving the idea. The actual manbehind the scenes on both committees and the Wesvets club was Lenko Gazija. He, along with RolandSaylor, are perhaps the men hehind the scenes in a lot of Western events. The unique decorations ofthis dance are also worth mention. The effect brought forth by the use of fish nets was acclaimed bymany to be the best ever attained at a mixer held in the Rec hall. The Wesvets club, one of thenewest on Campus, should feel proud to have sponsored such a successful function as this dance. Itshould also be an incentive to other organizations to have the attendance that this function had. Theattendance of the fans from Seattle "U" was also the best that this college has seen in quite a fewyears. This was indeed a very nice response to the letter sent them by the Pep committee inviting themup to the game and dance. Congratulations Wesvets on a job well done. BRAD KENYON, Vice-Chairman, Pep Committee — o The mixer Saturday night was the first mixer ever to be held on aSaturday at WWC.

Charles Granger, student teacher, is beginning to think kids don't have anyknowledge of time. Not long ago one of his sixth grade students asked the following question: Mr.Granger, do you remember when you were little and wore button shoes? •• In the past we havetalked of productions that were about to take place on the stages of Bellingham. This week I would like topresent another facet of legitimate theater- life. No matter how good or how bad an actor or actress is,the most hated, and most feared foe in the first night critic. He or she comes to the show with apessimistic mind or at least a "show me" attitude. He knows that* in his hands he holds the life or death of a particular show. This cannot help but give him a sense of power. Do not misunderstand me; I do not mean that a critic goes out of his way to be cynical but that he is just harder to please than the run-of-the-mill audience. Critics are usually fair even if they are not liberal with approbation. CRITIC'S POWERLIMITED Fortunately or unfortunately on Western's campus a critic's power is limited to holding up amirror to a cast after the production has taken place, or at worst making the cast angry before the night's production. The play will run its entire time no matter what a critic will or will not say. The problems confronting a collegiate critic are many. In the first place, thinking of Western's campus inparticular, where will the paper find a competent critic who will be an adequate mirror of studentopinion? In most cases such a member of the staff will be in some way connected with the productionand thereby have a bias which takes him out of the realm of reviewers. If the paper must use a lesser

Edens Hall Cafeteria To Get Face Uplifting FinalApproval Given For Dorm Addition Final approval for the Edens hall annex supplementary appropriation of $80,000 requested by WWC officials for the project was received yesterday from Senator Warren G.Magnuson in Washington, D. C. According to Dr. W. W. Haggard, president of the college, the $80,000will complete the $450,000 necessary for construction of the new building. Bids were opened October 25for the project and the lowest of the bids received totaled far more than*- WWC students who eat mealsin the Edens hall cafeteria will find themselves in a bright, cheerful, and attractive dining room nextquarter, according to Dr. W. W. Haggard, president. At the close of the fall quarter, the face uplifting of the Edens hall cafeteria will begin. The remodeling'job will commence with the installation ofaccoustical tile on the ceiling. This feature should aid in keeping noise at a minimum. NEW LIGHTSAnother feature to be added to the dining room will be new light-fixtures. For the past month, lightfixtures of various types have been tested. From these tests the circular type fixtures have been chosenas the most satisfactory. The dining room walls are to be painted two-tone blue to harmonize with the blue of the drapes: and the chairs will be a plum color. FINISHED BY WINTER It is hoped that themajority of the remodeling will be finished by the opening of winter quarter, with any of the remainder, ofthe work to be completed soon after. "The addition of- the accoustical tile, and the fresh paint shouldhelp make the Edens hall cafeteria a very pleasant dining place for the 'students," concluded Dr.Haggard. the amount that had been requested. The $80,000 will enable the start of work on theproposed site within the coming week, according to Dr. Haggard. NEW SOCIAL ROOM The new Edens hall annex will provide facilities for 112 women and include a new social room almost as large as the old Blue room. Plans are to include the conversion of the old Blue room while the annex is beingconstructed. SEATTLE ARCHITECT Leonard Bindon, Seattle, was the architect chosen by the Board of Trustees to handle the building program. Some 24 bids were opened during the bidding October 25.Lowest figure submitted came from Kuney Johnson, Seattle.

Public Law 550 veterans will be paid for the Christmas vacation period. They can expect the December check about January 20, 1955. ---------- Westerm Washington Collegian - 1954 December 17 - Page 2 ---------- Page Two WWCollegian Friday, December 1 7, 1954 Quarter's End; Time for Reminiscing THAT DAYhas finally arrived. A few more hours of finals and - one more quarter will be on the books. Fofsome it willbe the completion of the first quarter of college work. For these 5£0 or so freshmen, college life is now a natural thing. They can swap campus tales like veterans. But what is it that has made collegiate life aneveryday thing for them? And has it affected some more than others? For the most part a person isabsorbed into the swing of things by the everyday routine of classes, assemblies, mixers, shows, andthe like. But what sets college life apart from secondary school or the work-a-day world is somethingspecial. It is the feeling of belonging to a'group of people who are dedicated to the improvement ofthemselves, their communities, and their country by gaining an education that will best fit them to meetthe problems of everyday life. The degree to which a person dedicates himself to the task of improvinghimself and his community and country is proportional to the amount of interest he shows in his studies,his extra-curricular activities and his physical and spiritual health. None of these is entirely successfulwithout the others. STUDIES DOMINANT At/this point studies seem to be the dominant line of thought.With finals here, the books are getting an extra workout. Many students are wishing now they had spent a little more time during the p3st weeks at their study desks and less time watching T-V, playingshuffleboard, or generally, wasting the time that should have been spent in the library or in the lab. . It isnot the purpose of this editorial to criticize or condemn anyone for wasting time. It is merely a means ofcommunicating to the students at Western the need of an overview of past actions which might help inthe quarters ahead. A few examples of past actions may clarify the meaning of the term "need of anoverview." PAST ACTIONS Grade reports which come out next \veek will cause reminiscence enoughabout studies. Following are a few items, however, that could be added to your reminiscing: The variouscampus clubs and organizations, including the four classes, freshman, sophomore, etc., belong to theInterclub Council. The presidents of the different organizations usually make up the council. During thepast quarter one class and many member clubs of this very important branch of student government have been dropped for lack of attendance at meetings. A formal rule of the ICC is to drop a club from its rolls ifthe club or class fails to be represented at two consecutive meetings. Reinstatement is necessarybefore the organization will be recognized in student affairs. This lack of attendance indicates a deficiency someplace; whether it is within the individual organizations or a lack of conscientiousness on the partof the ICC representatives, it needs looking into and correcting. Another sore spot is an internal rift in amajor committee on campus. It is a committee that has probably done more in one quarter to unify thestudents' spirit than any other group of people has ever done. It is not likely that this committee willcontinue to do as welh until the relationship between its chairman and a large percentage of its membersis improved. And finally, a word about the attitude of some students toward the Board of Control. Thereare varying degrees of comment about the BOC, from "what is it?" to "we don't need a Board of Control,the president always decides what is to be done in the end anyway." About both statements can be saidonly one thing: ignorance. If people who think along the lines expressed in the above statements wouldmerely read their Navigator their ignorance would be dispelled. lt; ' A CHANCE TO IMPROVE A new year and a new quarter will soon be here. May the resolutions made to better ourselves include: to liveand work humbly and harmoniously with others, to study conscientiously with a definite goal in mind, tobe a working part of a club or class and not just a photogenic member, and to be dedicated to committee work and all responsibilities with willingness and incentive.

Adviser James IT.Bliss Business Manager' Sports Editors Xew.s Editor Feature Editors Society Editors Copy EditorHouse News Editors Picture Co-ordinator Student Affairs Editor fkesthe Cltat It appears that in the pastthere has been some misunderstanding regarding the powers of the Associated Students in thecontrol of student affairs. As a point of clarification, students ought to be aware of the amount ofcontrol which the students possess. Any authority which the students possess is delegated to them bythe faculty and administration. Student government was instituted because college administratorsbelieved students often are more aware of their own problems than the administration. Working fromthis premise, student government has proved successful. However, should student government directly conflict with the administration policy to an adverse degree, the administration retains its originalauthority and possesses final determining action upon any measure. However, the administrationhas demonstrated frequently its willingness to delegate as much responsibility as students aregenuinely capable of and willing to assume. Conversely, when students neglect their responsibilities, the confidence of the administration dwindles. Student government is not absolute government.Nevertheless, at Western students possess a degree of autonomy which is exceeded by fewinstitutions. Cooperation, rather than conflict, - between the administration and students has been awholesome characteristic of that relationship. Ray M. Cohrs, President ASB s4c**dd t e StateUniversity of Chicago — Enrico Fermi, whose basic discoveries in physics opened the atomic age, died recently. Fermi was a professor of physics at the University since 1945 when he joined the Institute ofNuclear Studies Research department. Just prior to his death he was awarded a $25,000 prize fromthe Atomic Energy commission for his work on the atomic bomb. He died of cancer at the age of 53.Said Samuel K. Allison, director of the Institute of Nuclear Studies, "There is no doubt among those who knew him well that Enrico Fermi was one of the most brilliant intellects of our century." SeattleUniversity—The art club at Seattle U looks as though it might be in the money. Its president, Dickingalls, announced recently that it would begin a trial project of making posters for campusorganizations. The posters will be handmade or silk screened, according to individual preference. Thecost of the posters will vary depending on size, design, and material used. A single 18 x 24 inch posterwill cost 75 cents. Prices for silk-screened posters will approximate 5 for $2.50 or 25 for $7.50.University of Detroit — Claude Thornhill and his orchestra provided music for the fifth annual Military Ball December 10.

Agnes Scott announces that periods of relaxation with tea beingserved will be held from 3:30 to 5 p. m. in (Continued on Page 8) White House Keeps Christmas Thepress reports that as never berore the true meaning of Christmas throughout our country is gainingrecognition. A new development this year is taking place in our national capital. There the traditional light-ing of a tree on the White House grounds on Christmas Eve is to be superseded by a "ChristmasPageant of Peace." On a great stage neai the White House, beginning Friday, December 17, religiousservices and carol singing will be conducted daily throughout the Christmas season Chambers ofCommerce throughout the country are trying to minimize gt;the blatant commercialization of Christmas.It does appear that we are reairy trying to emphasize the spiritual meaning of Christmas. I found a fewclays ago in a commercial organization's house organ the following: "An American explorer in the regionof the Amazon crowded his native helpers and urged them forward to meet a tight schedule. One morning he came out of his tent to find no natives in sight. Finally he found a chief and said, "Where are the men? We must be going." To which the native replied, "They are waiting." "Waiting for what?" asked theexasperated American. The chief calmly replied, "They are waiting for their souls to catch up with theirbodies. They have been traveling too fast," Let's think this over. Our wish'to all is that Christmas may bemerry in the true sense May you appreciate as never before the great music of the season. 1 understandChristmas as I listen to the great music, read the great poetry, and see the great art appropriate toChristmas. W. W. HAGGARD, President /^ew44 tUe ^ gt; lt;wict .. . fy Stylet The Board of Control met for the last time in 1954 Monday afternoon in the Student Center.

The Board commended theco-editors (Jan King and Juanita Simonsen) for an outstanding job. Mr. Earle, Co-op store manager,suggested that the Associated Student Body purchase and install a TV antenna for the TV set in thestudent lounge. Mr. Earle stated that this additional facility would insure more effective TV reception.The matter was referred to the Student- facilities committee for investigation.

A request was made by the USCF club for $70 to send one delegate to the National YM-YWCA convention held at Lawrence, Kansas,December 27-January 2, 1955. After considerable debate the motion for this request was postponedindefinitely. This means that the USCF did not get the money for the conference. BONUS GIVENThe last item of business was.a motion to award a $20 bonus to the financial secretary of the ASB. Themotion stated that the bonus was for excellent performance of duty and was to be additionalcompensation for the many additional hours which the secretary had contributed to her work in theinterest of the Associated Students. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 5:25 p. m. LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Bibler "Gosh, what a Christmas list.

True Meaning of Christmas By KATHY GARRETT -And theangel said unto them, fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy. which shall be to allpeople. 'For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord . . ." Sogoes the beautiful old story of the Nativity, a story which is better known to the world's generations thanany other. At this festive season of the year it would be well for each of us to take the time to read forourselves the story of the birth of Christ as it is recorded in the Bible, remembering that it is HISbirthday that we celebrate each year, and that Christmas is a RELIGIOUS holiday. Our behavior, themanner in which we celebrate, should fit the occasion. There is a popular crusade sweep -- ing thecountry "to put Christ back in Christmas." Let us, as individuals, personally do our part in furthering thisidea. College students, in taking advantage of a few days of freedom at Christmas, so often concen- 'Writer' Granted $85 More; Total Prize Money Doubled Eighty-five dollars of additional prize money wasgranted the "Writer," Western's creative writing magazine, by the Board of Control last week. Thepurpose of the funds is to get more people interested in the "Writer," and to stimulate them to enter thewriting contests. PRIZE MONEY DOUBLED The additional prize money .exactly doubles that of lastyear, making the total prize money $170. This amount will be divided among the winners in the winterand spring issues. The exact breakdown of prizes for the three divisions—short story, essay, andpoetry, has not yet been determined. The actual printing of the "Writer" is done on-campus under thedirection of Dr. Ray Schwalm, industrial arts department. This year's covers for both the winter andspring issues were designed by art students. Judging of the material submitted for the winter issue willbe done off-campus, by the English department of Washington State college at Pullman. CAREY SETSPRECEDENT Editor Bob Carey has set a precedent by maintaining office hours in order to advise andassist beginning writers. His office hours are from 3 to 4 p. m., Mondays and Wednesdays in room 42. Mr. Annis Hovde and Mr. James O'Brien, "Writer" advisors, are also available for advice.

"And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had seen and heard . . . " Granted, rejoicing is in order at this time of year more than any other. But let us remember that it".should be primarily spiritual rejoicing. Let us temper our holiday spirits with reverence, and liken ourcelebrating to that of the shepherds.

Bannistermade this announcement at a banquet in England recently. Stepping down from the cinder track at thepeak of his great athletic career, Roger was the first man to break the four minute mile. Only a few daysafter Roger broke the record, another man, Jolm Landy, of Australia, also bettered the four* ; minute mile. This set the stage for the race of the century, between Bannister and Landy.

CLEVELAND WINS AGAIN Cleveland's amazing Browns captured their 1'ifthstraight Eastern division championship in the National Football league and will go into football's worldseries against? the Detroit Lions. Coach Paul Brown's Cleveland Browns made a fine comeback afterdropping their first two of three games and behind the great quarterback, Otto Graham, came roaring to the top. Detroit's Lions, champions of the Western division, took it on the chin Sunday, 28-24, but theywere playing without the services of their star quarterback Bobby Layne.

One game will be played at Ephrata and theother one at Ellensburg.. The reason for playing the 'same team twice this year is because a newconference ruling prohibits the playing of regular teams with other teams which do not support four sports. Conference teams can, however, play one such team. Next year even* this practice will bediscontinued."

Barnhart Sees Lot of Action By JANMATTHEWS Roger Barnhart, a forward on Coach Bill McDonald's Viking squad, has seen action inmany basketball games so far this season, and shows promise of seeing a lot more.

WILDCATS REPORTED STRONG The Wildcatsfrom Central are reported very strong this year. They have a perfect record with five wins and nolosses. They defeated Eastern twice, Whitman twice, and CPS once. They have approximately sixreturning lettermen. Meyer and Heacox, their two small, fast guards, have been doing the majority ofCentral's scoring. Logue, their forward and pivot man, also has been accounting for quite a few points.Coach Bill McDonald stated, "Well have to stop these boys if we expect to win." Last year the Wildcatsfrom Central finished around the middle of the pack in the conference while the Vikings were at thelower end of the league. HIGH HOPES HELD Despite Western's rather slow-start this season,McDonald holds high hopes for the squad. It has been pointed out that the present team has neverplayed together. Naturally the rough spots must be ironed out. McDonald will go along with the five hestarted in the last game. Armin Jahr and Gary Rad-lil'f will be in the guard positions. Brooks and veteranBob Stone will fill the forward slots. Jim Forbes will again play center on the Vik casaba team. McDonald feels that Forbes, the 6 foot 4 inch center, is improving rapidly and will help the Viks immeasurably thisseason. However, Western feels keenly the loss of three of last year's starters through the draft.Mainstays of last year's squad, Galen Reimer, Bob Petrosik, and Roger Knigge are now in the service.UNCLE GRABS ANOTHER Harold Hickenbottom, freshman from Enumclaw who scored 17 points in the first game of the year, may be lost to the Army after this quarter is over. McDonald reports that thepromising young player plans to join the army.

Vikings Drop Second Straight Non-League Game to Loggers Western dropped their second straight non-conference basketball game to theCollege of Puget Sound last Thursday night. Western just couldn't keep going at the finish and CPS won gping: away 66-53. The Loggers had defeated the Vikings, by a score of 60-53 Monday night. Coach Bill McDonald's men had the game under control until well into the first half. They led by five points at onestage in the game. However, the HUltoppers just ran out of gas and the Loggers led at halftime 35-28.STONE LEADS VIKINGS Bob Stone, senior forward for the Viks, led both teams in the scoringdepartment. The veteran accounted for 16 of the Vik's 53 counters. Ar-min Jahr was next for Western with eight points. -Leading the CPS squad were Bill Medin and John Barrett with 12 points each. BobEliason, guard for the Loggers, was next with 11 markers. COULDN'T HELP GOING Western's troubleseemed to be in the fact that they could not keep fired up the whole game. They started well but couldn't keep up the steam for the whole 40 minutes. The Viks didn't score a single field goal in the last fiveminutes of the first half and the first four and one-half minutes of the second half. One can readily seethat a situation like this is not conducive to the winning of basketball games. Western will invadeEastern Washington for a two game series with Central Washington college in Ellensburg. They meetthe strong Wildcats at Ephrata, December 22 and at Ellensburg, December 23.

Holly Phone 547 For the Girls By DELL ABELEIN Gals, are you in a daze asto what you'll get that fella^of yours? You needn't be, for the stores are sporting all types ofmerchandise this Yule season. A fad with the boys at present are the shirts which are coming out incolors such as pink, lavender, green, and heliotrope. (Also known as purple.) If he already has a shirt,you may get him a tie and socks to match. The ties have horizontal designs and neutral backgrounds,and the socks are done in loud ai'gyle colors. SPORTS EQUIPMENT Is he a sportsman? If so, you'rein luck.* The sporting goods stores carry anything from a pocket com? pass or a steelhead gaff hook toboat cushions and camp stoves. If he golfs, you may get him supplies in that line. The stores sellmerchandise from golf balls to golf bags. If he has irons, get him more! He always can use anotherone to drive into the terra firma. If your lad is a shutter bug, you certainly should be able to find-asuitable gift. He would appreciate receiving a supply of film or flashbulbs. If you wish to spend more,buy him an exposure meter or reflector attachment. If he isn't a camera enthusiast, you can start himout by getting him a "seeing box." Some stores are selling cameras for as little as three dollars. A fellow always likes to get shaving supplies. Items such as aftershave lotion, shaving cream or blades arenot too expensive. CAR ACCESSORIES Like as not, he has a car. Fellows are always interested ingetting gadgets for their buggies, gals. You could get him a side-view mirror, floor mats, or a rear seatspeaker. If you are irritated because he flips cigarette ashes out the window or on the floor, give himsome ashtrays for Christmas. Some ashtrays will attach to metal or glass just dike a suction cup. Does he have a large picture of you? You can have an eight by ten photo made for a fairly reasonable price,and may have it done in color. Don't forget to add to his appreciation of the picture by putting your"John Hancock" on it. BEAN SHOOTERS Still stumped? I heard a novel suggestion the other day. TheCampus school sixth grade boys were asked what they wanted most for Christmas. The answer:bean-shooters. This might be a particularly practical gift for him in case he is sore at old ProfessorDrydrone for giving him a low grade in Lounge-ology 233x. Beans really sting when they hit the skull.Whatever the gift, girls, he will appreciate it. You have heard the old adage, "It is better to give than toreceive." There's a lot' of truth in it.

Whether she be mom, sis or thatextra special someone, there are many gifts to choose from. Prices range from the most expensivedown to the less costly, on any variety of presents. COSMETICS, STERLING Cologne or perfume aretops on any girl's Christmas list. There are many different fragrances, with one that just suits her. Alsoon this list of beauty and scent come the several kinds of hand lotion or cosmetics. Somemanufacturers have just introduced onto the market a trio of lipsticks, or a set of nail polishes. Hasshe started her sterling: yet? If so, add to her growing" collection. Silver is a beautiful and lasting: gift forany woman. Or, add a cup to her collection of China. Tops on every girl's gift list of favorites is a sweaterof coft, colorful Kharafleece . . . sweaters she could receive a dozen of and still not have too many.'Another suggestion for her present would be the new items in white leather. Some accessories havebeen made in Antique White Leather, including billfolds and key cases. MUSIC AND SPORTS ITEMS Does she have a phonograph? Then, "say it with music." Many of the big companies have put outspecial Christmas editions of both classic, jazz and popular music. Does she ski, or go in for anothertype sport? How about some addition to her equipment? Buy her a new ski cap, or pair of mittens. Ortry a pair of Costume-Knits, 100 percent wool gloves, designed with colorful beads or rhinestones. Doesshe have an earring collection, and no earring case? Get a a gold tooled case for her. For mom, or any woman who likes to experiment in the kitchen, you might choose a spice chest, containing jars ofspices. POSSIBLY A PICTURE Last, but never least, your favorite girl will always love a picture ofyou. So, don't worry men, thesegirls aren't so hard to please, if you just remember, "It's not the gift, it'sthe thought" that means the most to any girl.

Upon our return fromcaroling at 8 a. m. we wei-e served 'a big breakfast and topped the festivities off with a party to openour Christmas presents.

Several of the boys wentskiing in the Mount Baker area over the week-end, and all returned safely— no broken bones, .not evena busted ski. Finals? Wow!

Magnolia Phone 265 Musketeer Hall By SHORTIE Things have been pretty quiet at theManor since the happenings of the past week-end have died down. The only things that have happenedin the last few days are the frequent visits of the High Mucky Muck of the Manor. -We have had several very informative lectures on problems facing the average young American college girl. The members of the Manor have enjoyed her constructive advice, but feel enough is enough. Not much social lifehas occurred since the coming of finals week. The bigger part of the membership of the Manor journeyed to Seattle last Saturday and faced the- teeming crowds. Monday was "go out for-dinner day" at theManor with the whf gt;le membership going out for dinner before attending the very fine Christmasconcert put on by the college Music department. Deylig House Hello there again from the girls atDeylig. Our house mother helped us prepare a Christmas dinner last Friday night. Some of the girlsinvited their boy friends, and we know they enjoyed the dinner by the amount of food they ate. We alsohad a lovely Christmas tree.' Say there, did you know that we girls live in a men's organized house?Well, if you look in the Profile, you will see our house listed under the women's organized houses asDeylig; and under the men's organized houses, under the name Mrs. E. G. Cowles. We have beenwondering where Mrs. Cowles keeps those men, but so far we haven't been able to find any evidence ofthem. Mrs. Cowles, where are you hiding them? We are greatly saddened by the news we received thattwo of the" Deylig girls are leaving. The girls are Gaye Caton, moving to Senior hall, and Sue Morrical,moving to Co-ed Cottage. But we will have a full house next quarter, when three new girls move in. Wehope that they will enjoy living here as much as we will enjoy having them. We would like to extend ourthanks to the girls who caroled at our house Sunday morning. Now that finals are over, we are ready forthat much-needed vacation. Daniels Hall By DAVE JEITZ We awakened to the sound of beautifulmusic at 7:30, last Sunday morning. We jumped out of bed and looked out to see that the wind wasblowing and it was raining cats and dogs. But there was good old Senior hall out in it all. It really sounded great and we hope no one got sick from the weather. Well, lets everybody go home and fill ourselveswith a big Christmas dinner! Kluane Hall By ANNETTE CAMPBELL Horror of all horrors! Finals weekhas finally arrived! But one good aspect may be found. We'll have sixteen days to recuperate.

She had seven finals on Wednesday! Wonder how much sleep she had Tuesday night?Thanks to the efforts of Mary Arney and Jean Busby, we have a beautiful Christmas tree. Saturday theywent with Dick Dickerboom all the way to Sumas for the prize. Decorations were supplied by ourhousemother— except for the mistletoe. Sunday we had our monthly birthday party, this timehonoring Marge Wallrof and Barbara Arnett. Nothing like having a little cake-cutting practice! MRH,Hospice, Bayview, Spencer, and Senior halls have really given our Christmas spirit a boost! Despitethe cold, weather, we've enjoyed their songs at regular intervals! Bayview By JOYCE BAKRIE Whileskiing at Mount Baker last Saturday. Carolyn White _fell and pulled some leg muscles. We are happy to report that she is well on her way to recovery now and will probably be dancing the "jig" in grand styleNew Year's Eve. Sunday afternoon Mrs. Howell and two of the girls went after the Christmas tree whichis now in the front room of Bayview house. It's without a doubt the prettiest tree I have ever seen.Monday, the girls decorated the tree and held their annual Christmas party. Of all the crazy gifts; wind-up toys, fake diamonds, little kid books, toy dishes, gas-masks, and even "high-ball" glasses. Crazymixed-up kids. Halls of Ivy By GOLDIE Our tolo dinner was very successful. We all ate heartily andafter K.P. it was really a chore getting ready for the dance, but it- was well worth the effort. Sundaywas.our big day of relaxation before finals. .We started the day by going to church together. When wereturned home we sang carols and waited for our dinner. Miss Curtin, our housemother, cooked afabulous roast chicken dinner with dressing. It was almost like having a second Thanksgiving. Afterdinner we exchanged gifts and took some pictures. We girls of the Halls of Ivy want to thank Senior hall,MRH, and Edens for the wonderful caroling. The Ranch Things are like a tomb here since the coming offinal week. With the men at the Ranch trying to get into Kappa Delta Pi, they have been keeping therenoses into the books and we don't see how we can miss. We were very happy and honored by theSenior hall Carolers on the past Sunday morning. The hour was a°bit early but we enjoyed itnevertheless. Thank you girls and be sure to come back again. We would like to wish all the friendsof the old bunkhouse a very well-rounded holiday. Be sure and remember all of us as you sit down tothat "big old turkey." Spencer Hall Studying around Spencer seems to be the main interest this week. It seems that the kids don't get enough of it, I wonder why? We would like to thank Hospice Inn for theirwonderful1 hospitality. If you didn't know, we went caroling-with them last Sunday. Afterwards we went to their house for refreshments and sang some more.

We saw the senior class of Bellinghamhigh school produce "Father of the Bride" last Thursday night. If any of the names of the charactersare incorrect it will be due to the fact that we had only the information printed on the program to go by. This review is not intended to be all inclusive nor is it necessarily the opinion of the majority of theaudience who viewed the production. The cast was hampered throughout the production by what isknown as "slow clues." This caused the production to lag somewhat but we have seen amateurproductions where cue lags were actually painful. The cast was also hampered by the presence of four low-hanging microphones. They made themselves felt twice during the production when two separatemembers of the cast had the misfortune to hit them. This did not help ease the load of the cast ingeneral or the characters in particular. We will state, however, that they added an intangible something to the decor of the set. One of the most natural characters was Grant Smith in his portrayal ofTommy Banks, younger brother of the bride. Part of the charming- character was given him YourCleaning Bills Are Less When Garments Hold Their Press DONT HESITATE Phone 48 CORNWALLCLEANERS 1919 Cornwall Ave. TRY OUR DRIVE-IN CASH AND CARRY MILK PLAN Save 14c aGallon PACKAGE ICE CREAM At Our Drive-In Hillview Dairy 1824 Cornwall Avenue We ServeLunches and Refreshments by the author of the stage play a-nd part of the charm he gave thecharacter himself. There was only one spot in the production in which we felt Tommy was not Tommy. Bruce Trafton as the father of the bride grew more convincing as the play progressed. He seemed tooyoung for his part. At first it was hard to convince the audience that he was middle aged. The fault lay inthe fact that from the beginning the audience knew he was a high school senior and the make-up job didnothing to detract from this knowledge. As the play progressed he grew more and more distraught andmore and more convincing. He was particularly amusing in t he tight dress pants and his references to awedding being a barbaric custom. "The bride wears a ten-foot sign, 'Look at me, I'm beautiful. I'm worth it'." Or perhaps this sarcastic comment is apropos: "A small wedding to which everyone is invited."Mr. Banks' secretary did not look as though she had worked for him for twenty years. But as anefficient secretary her voice was her most convincing portion. Carol Pawers as Madam Thiebaud wasup to her par, although every once in a while her "accent" had a tendency to evaporate. We felt that thecast as a whole did a* job well within their capabilities even though many of the audienceconsciously or unconsciously compared the production to the recent motion picture. Play Announced Exclusive—Dr. Gerald Kahan has announced the title of the winter quarter play. It is to be the"Imaginary Invalid" by Moliere. He describes it as a "modern, high spirited farce comedy." We arealso informed the production will include period costumes and a burlesque ballet. more acrossnation (Continued from Page 2) the student center during final exams December 10 through 16.Washington State College—A diamond was lost somewhere between quartz and copper in Geology250 lab sometime last week.

Haggard announced recently that a 10-year building program, costingnearly $5,000,000 in state funds is under consideration for the 1955-57 biennium. Beginning the 1955-57biennium, $1,250,000 will be appropriated for the construction of a science building, $215,000,000 fora health center and $87,000 for the conversion of the old auditorium into offices, and classrooms. Landacquisition will add $28,450 to the request, according to a building needs chart drawn up at theOlympia conference. If obtained, the first two years will see an expenditure of $1,580,150, the largestsum asked for any biennium except 1961163 when a $1,750,000 request for a classroom-officebuilding will be the amount asked. A completion of the physical education building at the cost of$875,- 000 and purchase of land worth $168,750 will be done during the 1957-59 biennium.

Hindman, a native of Bellingham and a junior majoring in economics here at WesternWashington College, was chosen to represent students over the entire state of Washington at theCongress of American Industry, taking place at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City. A guest ofthe National Association of Manufacturers, Hindman left by air this week to attend the convention heldDecember 1, 2 and 3. Adding to the excitement of the trip was the fact that he had never been anyfarther east than Spokane, Washington. nium and $116,350 will be appropriated for this project. Anaddition to the heating plant located behind the LA building will necessitate an appropriation of$89,000 during these years and also an addition to the library for $234,000 will be included in theplanning. Appropriation for a president's house will be made during the 1959- 61 biennium, according tothe building needs chart. BASED ON GROWTH The building appropriations have been based uponthe anticipated growth during the coming decade. The predicted growth of Western Washington collegewas well exceeded this year and WWC officials feel that in future years the enrollment will showeven greater gains over the predicted increases.

There has been none of the flagrant disregard ofparliamentary procedure that was one characteristic of last year's board. TOO MUCH FOR TRIPS?However, even the best can be improved. The Board could perhaps use more discretion in the Handing out of student monies for trips and conferences. It is felt by some that the good these trips do the studentbody as a whole does not make up the harm they do that body by the money that is spent. Many of thetrips are good and help Western in prestige and knowledge. However, many trips do little to enhanceWWC or even to enhance the department from which representatives are sent. For instance tworepresentatives from a club" received money to attend a conference in Massachusetts. The sum a Notedwas over $300. Perhaps Western is getting $300 worth of publicity. It is doubtful, however. Especiallywhen one of the representatives is a senior and the club cannot gain much use of what she will havelearned at the conference. The club's asking of money is merely an example of the many requests whichhave been made.,, Perhaps this club was justified in getting the money. MORE AND MORE WANTMONEY More and more representatives are coming to the BOC to ask for money for trips andconferences. There is something around $500 in the budget for trips and conferences. Therefore, much ofthe money which is given for trips and conferences must come out of budget control. One Board membersaid he voted to give money for a trip because a precedent had been set and he thought it would be oulyfair to give money to the next one asking under similar circumstances. This statement is an indication ofwhat could happen. This thing could become a snowball. The more people who ask for and get money,the more people there will be asking. Who is the Board to say one will get the money and one will not?They must set up some criterion. Maybe the Board could help those who seem to try to help themselves. It will be difficult to stop, but it must be stopped. More discrimination and thought on the part of eachBoard member will undoubtedly help considerably. @omfict4, Scene . . . . fy 2W VUMIC^ In the campus scene this week are hurrying students. Hurrying to the library in last minute attempts to salvage courses. -Well, not quite last minute, that comes next week. All quarter there have been at least a thousand other things to do. Things that were more important than studying. Now the PINAL reckoning is near. There are only two more weekends before finals. Gotta get those reports in! There is a new song leader a t*Western. Her name is Pat Brown and she's a freshman from P o rt Townsend. Pat was selected from agroup of eight candidates by the Pep committee Tuesday. Her first public performance will be at theWestern-Seattle University game tomorrow. .That's in the Belling-ham high school gym. Here is achance to watch a top-notch ball game and at the same time see Western's newest pep merchant. Seeyou? Did you know that the Speech department offers a one hour parliamentary law course? Would itbe wise to require this for all ASB officers and maybe for officers of the major clubs on campus? It'sspeech 102 and it's offered at 1 p. m., Tuesdays winter quarter. Oh well, maybe they don't need itanymore. And there were the breaded veal cutlets playing snooker with my parslied potatoes. Man! ThisEdens hall food is the craziest! I heard one fellow say that diners at E. H. should get credit for eatingthere! Why? Because it's a course offered by the Home Economics department WWCollegian Page 2Friday, December 3, 1954 called "experimental foods." Anyway I can definitely state that this is nottrue. The beginning Home Economics cooks DO NOT practice in the Edens hall kitchen. Andremember, the food is NUTRITIOUS! For the past week there has been a letter to the editor from ReySundal in the office. The letter deplores the losses in the lounge-fountain. These losses are due tostudent thefts, student vandalisms, and student carelessness. Items such as cups, ash trays, tabletops, chairs, and couches are involved. The total loss quoted is a few cents short of $300. This seems abit high and probably is. Since we have facilities at the college to repair some of the damaged furniture itwill run, if properly managed, at least $50 less. But still, $250 damage is a large dip into the receipts ofthe Fountain. When Co-op dividend time comes we will all feel the bite. Of course if they sabotage thejuke-box I'm in favor of it. Actually, that would'nt be sabotage—it would be self-defense! WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN . Since 1899 . lt;!•.

Bliss fiteside Chat There are many facilities on thecampus which have been designated specifically for student use. In the past, however, the usage ofthese facilities seems to have been limited. The fountain, the lounge, the student center, the cabins at Kul-shan and Lakewood may possess fa-cilites which may be more greatly utilized than at present.These facilities have been largely paid for with student money, and are there for your enjoyment andrelaxation. A college student requires balanced living. Each student may find a great amount ofpleasure and sociability in visiting these places, particularly with fellow students. Students may neveragain experience the abundance of time they have while at college. Plan a program that will allow forvisiting these areas, if not often, at least occasionally. •RAY COHRS denote t^c State By RODGERWILLIAMS University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.

An Anniversary to Remember Next Tuesday will mark the 13th anniversary of the bombing of PearlHarbor. The day following the attack we were at war with Japan. The morning of December 8, 1941, foundthe students at Western the old auditorium listening to the address by President Roosevelt in which hegave to the nation the official news of the attack. Later in the day both houses of Congress voted war onJapan. Most of the students took it calmly, some were terribly excited and felt that bombs would fall atany minute. Many students left school that day to enlist. Thirty-seven men and one woman who leftWestern to help in the fight didn't return to school at the end of the war. They were missing in action ordead. The memorial organ in the auditorium stands as a tribute to their sacrifice. For some of usDecember 7 will be only another day, but for others it will be a day that brings back memories; of a turning point in our lives. Someone reading this may think of the brother who was killed on Okinawa; anotherabout the next-door neighbor who volunteered for the navy leaving his wife and children, never to return. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 December 3 - Page 3 ---------- W C is Well Represented In First Fall BLOC Opera Several present and former WWC students took thespotlight last Friday and Saturday nights as the 3LOC.

He wassoloist in several churches in New York and made many CBS concert broadcasts. By MARGARETMcMULLIN The production Friday and Saturday, November 19 and 20, of the three-act comedy "BoyMeets Girl," in the college auditorium displayed a wealth of performing talent. A small but fairly receptiveopening night audience saw essentially good acting almost wasted on a very mediocre play. NINETEEN YEARS LATE The fact that "Boy Meets Girl" opened on Broadway 19 years ago may be someexplanation for its lack of appeal today, at least-to this reporter. Since 1935, the Hollywood theme hasbeen considerably overdone. Even after considering the difference between audiences of today andthose of nearly two decades ago, it is difficult to believe that "Boy Meets Girl" ran for 235performances. "Boy Meets Girl" takes place, for the most part, in a frustrated Hollywood motionpicture producer's office. Jim. Simon may be complimented for a fine portrayal of the producer, C.Elliot Friday. The Speech department selected, to act with Simon, an extraordinarily fine cast ofplayers. As an example, pert freshman Kathy Gar-jrett, in the role of Susie, the naive and beautifulwaitress heroine, charmed the audience with her convincing acting. Her voice and actionsproclaimed the simplicity of Susie's mind. OTHERS IN CAST Other members of the cast deservingpraise are Al Gunderson and John Schermerhorn, the Benson and Law team of scenario writers;and Bill Elwood, the agent with an eye for his own 10 per cent. Dick Dye gave a credible performance as the hopeful English actor, Rodney Bevan. Bill Johnson sang "There's a Pain in My Heart, . a n d MyHeart's On My Sleeve" with all the zealous sincerity of Jimmy Durante with a head cold. Even thoughthe Johnson and Pliny Allen team had a secondary part, they could readily be credited as one of thecontributing New Drama Club Announces Meeting For December 7 An organizational meeting of thenew Drama club will be held in room 201 of the auditorium building. The meeting is scheduled for 3 p. m., December 7. All students who participated in any way in the following productions are eligible to join:Uncle Harry, Two Blind Mice, Martha, High Tor, Liliom, Die Fledermaus, Boy Meets Girl. Since theoriginal club is now inactive and its constitution will not serve new needs, it has been, decided to drafta new constitution and admit into the group, as charter members, those eligible students whoparticipate in writing and ratifying the new constitution. factors in holding the audience's attention.Lacking plot and somewhat lacking in punch lines, in this writer's opinion, the production redeemeditself with striking authenticity and remarkable stage settings. Use was made of recorded music for theintroduction to each of the acts. The novel technique of having the radio "in your home" in acts two and three was a relaxing break between scenes. The commentary was given a professional touch by PaulHer-bold. The extremely good stage setting of Elliot Friday's office may be credited to the efforts ofGordon Pfister, stage manager, and Mark Flanders, technical director. The technical crew consisted ofEvalyn Bickers, Patty Griffith, Ted Hagen, Kermit Johnson, June Lamoureux, Pris-cilla Lindell, LoisWoodward, Ralph Squillace, and Alice Bennett. The entire production was directed by Dr. Gerald Kahanand Kaye Jennings, assistant director. Recital Given By Musicians The WWC Music departmentpresented a student recital, at 10 a. m., Tuesday, November 30, in the college auditorium.Dr^D'Andrea opened the program by announcing the dates of future concerts to be presented by theMusic department.

That name has always beensynonomous with an outstanding football game, pretty women, and the giant tournament of roses parade, sparkling with hundreds of magnificent floats; but this year the ever-popular contest has the fans talkingabout another aspect of the forthcoming sporting event. The 1955 Rose Bowl game will be like manypredecessors with one- exception: the Big Ten champion, Ohio State, will be playing the Pa-* ; ~ cificCoast league's number two j Maybe they will Keep the rule, and team, the University of Southern j maybethey won't, who knows? California. This unique situation arose when the contracts were signedbringing the Big Ten and the PCL mi ght be good to mention that the champions together in the granddaddy of all bowl games. The pro vision was added to the contract 89,093. In the years past the gamehas always been played before a full house. Right now the big boys that no one team could appear twoseasons in succession. UCLA SMOTHERS OPPONENTS This fall UCLA smothered all its opposition,including a 34-0 shellacking of Southern California; but they played in the 1954 New Year's dayclassic and are therefore ineligible to play this January 1. Many of the country's outstanding footballfans are up in arms about the regulation. They are quick to point out that this rule places the westcoast's second best team in the grid, classic instead of the outstanding eleven the Westerners wouldproduce. The fans also emphasize the fact that the Big Ten sponsored regulation has caught them in atrap of their own making, as Ohio State has nothing to gain and everything to lose. If Ohio should win,the California fans will say that they were playing the coast's number two team. On the other handshould OS lose, every Californian will claim that they aren't the outstanding ball club they were billed asbeing. As the Rose Bowl extravaganza draws nearer one will probably hear a lot more about the two year rule. I guess Western will never have to worry about those two trips to the Rose Bowl but it will be fun to watch the big boys when contract signing time rolls around again.

It is one of the lesser knownsports but once you've tried it we can guarantee that it will stick forever in your blood. Take a dark,moonless night and go down to the Nooksack river. A flashlight and a nimble pair of hands are all youneed before you have yourself a nice kettle of fish. Also on the agenda is hunting. This is a subject tostart many a husky man on a tale of the one that got away—oops, we're not In the field of fishing.Hunting is this year taking its toll of college lads. I don't mean that they are dying, just their grades.Many classes are fighting a losing battle with the rifle. Duck hunting is the major sport for those boyswho want to miss only one or two classes a.day. But let's stick to the rules fellows, I overheard someof you saying you were going to return to Marietta to pick up the twelve ducks over the limit that youshot this morning.

For you girls who are daring and full-of extra energy, I recommend this ladies' sport. Ice skatingis a very popular winter sport in many places around the country but here in Bellingham we veryseldom have the weather that gives us the opportunity to try our skill. Did all you enthusiasts know thatup in Vancouver, B. C, there are a couple of beautiful rinks that are open every Saturday at 1 p. m.? It'sonly a matter of one hour and a half drive to Vancouver; try it sometime. Hiking is another sport for younature lovers. If you have good wind and an adventurous spirit, try packing a lunch and taking a Saturday off and doing something other than shopping downtown, etc. Dancing must be given mention, don't youthink? Saturday nights for many couples are spent in this manner. There are several places not too farfrom Bellingham. Your reporter has just heard thafca huge dance hall similar to the Holiday is going tobe built at Birch Bay sometime in the~near future. When it is, we won't have to drive so far to trip thelight fantastic. I now leave you with this thought in mind.

We all had a neaty vacation holiday. Can't wait'till Christmas. When we serenaded Thursday night (you mean you haven't heard of the Harborview*Harmonaires?) we sang some "semi" Christmas songs so no one could say we were really rushingthings. We really liked being serenaded the night before we left for Thanksgiving so here's a wink toHansen house. You know what we think would be nice? Say between maybe the 10th and 16th allserenades should be treated to coffee or tea or something hot after they finished. And wouldn't it be"cozy" if they came before 9 so they could be invited in to do a few more by the old upright. This coulddevelop into quite a custom . . . just a suggestion.

This makes the total of engagedgirls at Senior hall three, all of whom are from Longview. What does that place have anyway? Christmaswill soon be here and we have already started preparations for our seasonal projects, which include abuffet dinner, a banquet, and caroling on Sunday, December 12.

Barrs Hall Thanksgiving was celebrated at Barr's hall on the Monday before vacation.Turkey and all the trimmings were served in our small but cozy little kitchen, to all our nine girls.

Daniels Hall By DAVE JEITZ Hi, (burp) from Daniels hall (turkeydinner). We enjoyed a great, big, wonderful turkey dinner down here the week before we left on ourrespective vacations. In fact, it was such a big turkey that it took us three days tp eat it. Not muchdoing around here this week. It seems that everyone is worrying about those finals creeping up. For awhile, there was even talk of closing down the pool tables and roulette wheel. However, that idea wasquickly voted down. Halls of Ivy What a vacation. We all had a feast with all the trimmings. And now wehave memories of a very super day. At our last house meeting we decided to have a Christmas party.We proceeded to draw names for exchanging gifts. Our party will be Djecember 12, after we go tochurch. Miss Curtin, our housemother, is cooking a real special dinner. And to add to Christmas season we're putting up a tree.

Kluane Hall By ANNETTECAMPBELL After a great Thanksgiving holiday, the bright and eager faces of the Kluane Kuties areonce again back in Bellingham.

(Don't get the impression that we likefinals, but they're - better when- they're over, aren't they?) November 21 we attempted to say "thanks"for the many rides, good advice, etc., that Marshall Field, our cherished next-door neighbor, has givenus. We did this with a candlelight dinner of fried chicken and all the trimmings, 'honoring his birthday.Happy birthday again Marsh! Speaking of dinners, the pre- Thanksgiving Day dinner which Mrs. Toddand Mrs. Kruger served us was very, very good! Later on that evening, we^had a pajama party which was planned by Eleanor Fetters and Maureen Gustafson. , , Kluane has also been getting its share of theengagements :going around.

What do these figures indicate? Thisis the amoum) in dollars and cents that has been used from lounge funds to replace equipment stolen or destroyed. This is more than the student body should be expected to bear. It must be noted that thisthree hundred dollar damage has taken place in less than eight weeks. If nothing is done to combat thisdestruction, it is entirely possible that the lounge may have a bill of over $1300 for replacing or repairing damage incurred during one year's operation. Is it any wonder that prices in the lounge are high whenthe price of replacing spoons, cups, ash trays, etc., must come out of earned profits? You, thestudents, own the equipment in the fountain and TV room. In years past, former students workedvery hard collecting funds to buy this equipment. Many of the students donated money to obtain thelounge facilities. These students initiated the idea of a lounge and made it possible for you to benefitfrom their endeavors. LOUNGE APPRECIATED? Do we appreciate the lounge and TV room? Yes, mostof us take pride in the appearance of our lounge and enjoy the facilities offered. How, then, can weaccount for the damage being done to our equipment? Why are there now only two Chesterfields(couches) in the TV room and more furniture being repaired than used? The answer is simple. A number of careless or just plain destructive people are costing us all this extra • • • The GOOD BreadBUCHAN'S • • • money by mutilating our property, which is theirs as well. Why these peopleare destructive we don't know. Are they "high school kids" now in college that have no better way tospend their time than to destroy property because it was "smai*" to do it in high school? Is the collegetrying to educate a group of "children" that can only express their emotions by bending spoons or tearing the backs out of couches? Needless to say, something must be done to remedy this situation, and itis up to us the students to do it. Let's wise-up these " h i gh school squares," if for no other reasonthan the purely selfish motive of protecting our own pocketbooks. These "juveniles" are destroying ourproperty and our privileges. Let's make them think twice before doing it again. It is well for us to keepin mind that the college administration takes a dim view of such childish carryings-on. Who can say how many such non-conformist creatures will soon no longer be with us because of such behavior?Let's not let the situation get to the stage where the administration has to take over. It's a studentproblem and we should be able to prove that we can handle it efficiently ourselves. The point is this:Let's all take the problem as our own personal responsibility and do something about it FAST.Remember it's costing each of us money.

O'Brien, of the English department, and Mrs. 0"Brien lived in Dublin for a yearwhere he worked on his doctor's thesis oh Anglo-Irish literature while Mrs. O'Brien taught square dancing and soft ball in girls' schools, and square dancing to adult evening classes. On some week-ends theO'Briens cycled along the scenic Irish coast. "The greatest obstacle to cycling was the rain and wind,"said O'Brien. Upon leaving Ireland in June, the O'Briens toured the Continent by bicycle. Said O'Brien, "If we were to stay in hotels on the continent, as most Americans do, we could probably get along withonly English." They, however, stayed in hostels and university houses most nights, since theunusually heavy summer rains did not permit camping. They were sometimes mistaken for Dutch,because "Many Europeans didn't expect Americans to be riding bicycles." * "While Ireland has apleasant countryside and well deserves the title of the emerald isle, said O'Brien, "its scenery is not asmuch of an attraction as its people and their gift for conversation, the sports and the drama, and thesurvival of many old-world traditions."

ROMANTIC SHENANIGANS "Be Your Age," a modern teen age comedy, will be presented atthe college auditorium under the auspices of the Bellingham Junior Chamber of Commerce. This play,which has received excellent notices in the East, is concerned with the activities of a teen-age girl who sheds her teen-age boy friend in favor of one of her father's old college chums. Needless to say, father is somewhat perturbed at these shenanigans and much of the story centers around his attempts tobreak up this romance. Father is spurred on by his remembrances of his friend's frequent successfulromantic activities when they were both in college. "Be Your Age" has a cast of experiencedprofessional players. Many of these have long and varied careers on the stage in New York and haveplayed with many of the great names in show business. College students are offered a special price of75c. Regular admission to the general' public is $1.25. Tickets are available in Western's Co-op store. On March 15, "Mr. Roberts" will be presented in Bellingham by the same company—but with a different cast. Student prices will prevail here too, but it was suggested by Harry Pagels of the Bellingham JC'sthat tickets be ordered in advance for this performance. "A heavy attendance is anticipated and ticketpurchased in advance would insure good seats," said Pagels. COLLEGIAN Vol. XLVI - No. 17 WesternWashington College, Bellingham, Washington Feb. 12, 1954 THE NEW YORK THEATRE GUILD willpresent a modern teen-age comedy "Be Your Age," next Monday, 8:15 p. m. College students areextended a special price of s 75c as compared to the regular admission price of $1.25. Tickets areavailable in Western's Co-op store. I-A to Wash Cars Western's I^A club will wash cars toworrow and aweek from tomorrow. They will wash the cars behind the Arts building from approximately 10 a. m. to 4p. m. The charge for the car wash will be one dollar. The tires will be rotated for an extra dol-ar. Themoney will be used to send a delegate to the I-A convention in Los Angeles. Curtain Goes Up On'Liliom Soon; Rehearsals Under Way Rehearsals for Western's division' of drama's Winter quarter play,'Liliom," are under way, pointing towards production just two weeks away. The story of a bully and finally i criminal of Budapest, Liliom, or 'the Lily," the play is directed by Laurence Brewster, speech, andscenery is under the direction oi Mark Fanders, speech. Of "Liliom," the New York Tribune says:"Again Molnar is significantly successful in finding romance where few playwrites would have thesense to seek it. He makes the symbol of romance for. Liliom something as simple and as close tohome as the merry-go-round." The Nation says: "A scrupulous respect for reality is combined in Liliom"with a strong and sober imaginative sense." The play carries Liliom from a rowdy merry-go-round barkerwho bilks young servant girls of their money with his charm, to a highway man who loses in his firstattempt, and commits suicide. At this point the play changes scenes from earth to the courts ofjustice on high. Addition to the cast announced last week are: Sandra Paul, Louise; Dorothy Flora, JoyKephart, Roberta Roberts and Donna Godfrey, servant girls. Gordon Pfister has been recast as Ficsur and Jack Rose has taken Pfister's place as the policeman. Production dates for the play are Friday,February 26, and Satruday, February 27. Datelmii e.

Griswold, sociology. To get the projected enrollment figures for Western, Griswold found thenumber of high school graduates for the last few years and, using the average percentage of increase forthe last six years, he estimated the number of students that would annually graduate from high school until 1966. He then compared the number of students that attended Western in the past six years,found the percentage increase, and compared it with that of the high school grads. Basing his surveyon these increases, he made his predictions. Griswold predicted 1,301 students would enroll at Western the fall quarter of 1953. The actual figure was 1,288, a one per cent error. When he looked at hisWestern enrollment prediction for 1966, which was 2,648, the sociology instructor said, "I wouldn't bet anickel on getting the precise figure for 1966 but I bet a dime I'll come within 15 per cent of it." Griswoldexplained that any drastic change of trend in population would damage the accuracy of his figures.Nineteen File For Various ASB Positions Nineteen students have filed for various positions on the Board of Control. Three students filed for the position of ASB president, three for ASB vice president, andthirteen have filed for two board representative positions. The three men running for the president'soffice, with active terms beginning Fall quarter 1954, are juniors Ray Cohrs and Allen Evans andsophomore Norman Richardson. There are also three men, juniors Ivan Hickenbottom, Jim Simon, andRey Sundal, seeking the position of ASB vice president. Students elected as representatives willbegin serving their terms this coming Spring quarter. One senior, Carlin Freeberg, is applying for aposition on the Board. The six juniors seeking the position are Ron Camfield, Margaret Salisbury,Chuck LeWarne, Jerry Anderson, Diane Folk, and Mary Hansen. Wilfred "Bill" Johnson, Roland Sayler,David Northrup, David Gay, and Larry Renner are the five sophomores running for the representativepositions. Bob Dunlap is the lone freshman seeking an office on the BOC. The primary election will beheld Tuesday and Wednesday, February 16 and 17 in the main hall. In the election, six representativeswill be chosen to run in the final election, which will be held the ninth week of this quarter. Thecandidates running for the positions of president and vice president will not be voted upon until thegeneral election. RAPHAEL MENDEZ will appear as guest soloist, with the WWC band February 16,8:15 p. m., in the auditorium. Mendez, along with Ken Cloud and Robert Brown will be on campus for aspecial clinic Monday and Tuesday. He will also appear on the evening program. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 February 12 - Page 2 ---------- Elections Chairman Urges Large Vote To the Associated Students of Western Washington College:"Next week there will be thirteen candidates for two positions on the Board of Control, in the primaryelection. This number is more than was expected, and there should be a good race to be one of the six inthe general election the ninth week of this quarter. Don't forget that this is the quarter in which we elect anew president and vice-president for next fall. There will be just six people entered in this race, so theirnames will appear on the general election ballots only. There are three candidates for president and three for vice-president. Why does the constitution of the ASB provide for the election,of the president, andvice-president during the Winter quarter? Why not the Spring quarter? Article VIII Sec. 6 of theconstitution reads as follows: The president-elect and the vice-president-elect shall become ex-officiomembers of the Board of Control spring quarter and shall take office the following fall quarter. All otherofficers shall take office at the first regular meeting of the Board of Control the quarter following theirelection. The obvious reasoning behind this is that serving as ex-officio members of the BOC for aquarter will guarantee that the next year's leaders will have had some experience with the problemswhich they will face while in office. Nevertheless, there are some people who *feel that the election ofthese officers should be postponed until the Spring quarter. However you feel about it, let's get out thistime, and show these people who are willing to serve us that we are for them 100%! Let's show ourappreciation for our favorite candidates by stopping for a few moments at the polls next Tuesday andWednesday, and exercising our right to vote! Sincerely, Robert S. Bollman Election Board ChairmanWWCollegian Page 2 Friday, February 12r 1954 The College Scene.... By BOB DUNLAP There is sadnews on the campus today. The IAR has passed into the bottomless pit of defunct clubs. Its last surviving member was seen drinking coffee with a girl. Oh well,"some girls will do anything for a cup of coffeethese days. But sitting with an "I Am Repulsive" club member, that's sacrifice supreme! • : —=——Have you noticed this wonderful weather? Silly question, to be sure. My point is this.. Wouldn't it beswell weather to row your girl around the lake? And did you know that the Associated Students ownstwo rowboats? One is at Lakewood (the college property at Lake Whatcom), and the other is in thestudent center. In case of a flood? The keys to the ASB cabin at Lakewood may^ be obtained from the president's office (that's where the boat is—in the cabin.) I made it! I made it to the library to talk toone of the student assistants about her job. A random selection brought up Alice Chenier, a juniorwho has been a student assistant in the library for almost two years. Alice has red hair. This, however,is not a required thing for librarians. Seriously, though, I was impressed with the efficient way that MissChenier handled the requests that came to her desk while I was interviewing her. She, as are many ofthe "little" people on campus, is a small, but necessary, part of the vast and complex machinery ofEducation at WWC| Without them we might operate a college but it would cease to be the personalthing a t is now and become a cold, impersonal, functional machine for grinding- out graduates. I askedAlice if she found her job interesting. Her reply was that the people who come to a library are moreinteresting than many of the books. Everyone has a pet peeve. Alice's is concerned with the personwho brings in a huge stack of over-due books at the last minute (just before closing time). Or peoplewho wait until the same time before requesting books. A pet peeve, yes, but I can't see that it wouldruffle this trim Harborview girl outwardly. She is typical of the students working on campus that meetthe public frequently and contribute to the fioo impression of WWC that the public holds. There arethose that say that the juke box is a defenseless beast and that I should not be so prone to kick it when its coin-slots are down. These people have me wrong. Why, just the other day I put a nickel in thedarned thing, pressed the buttons, and headed for the nearest exit. You see, it wasn't my nickel.Actually the poor little old thing is a needed item. There are people who like to listen to the music—music? DXl I say music? Beethoven will nayer forgive me for that! I'm a Vienna String Quartet manmyself. Like Burl Ives too, and Gordon MacRae. Hillbilly? I think it should be classed with capitalpunishment. Honest! I am not a .Music Major!

Would you be willing to invest five dollars if you knew that that tiny investment might some daysave you as much as $500? Now as you know since since last spring the BOC has been trying to workout an accident insurance deal. As it stands now, we can implement a plan on an optional basis provided there are enough students who are interested. Are you interested. If so, you will help us toward makinga decision if you let us know. Just drop a note in the ASB DOX in the post office on the main floor—orwrite to the editor if you so wish. This accident insurance would cost you approximately $1.85 perquarter for three quarters and give you protection for twelve months either on or off the campus.Considering the weather hazard and the number of ski fans we have on the^campus (who at presentare limping on crutches), the board feels that this insurance is just the kind of protection that isneeded. Every year there is an average of forty-five students who h u rt themselves on the campus.There is no way of telling who is going to be next. It may be you. Again, let us know where you stand.Henry Howe, ASB President Lincoln Honored on 145 Birthday History is nothing but a long succsesion of dates. Everytime a child is born there is a birthday. Some children are destined to do more or tocreate more history than others. And on this premise we are back to dates again. If you have glanced atyour calendar lately, you are well aware of the fact that today is Friday, February 12. Manybirthdays are being celebrated today, but there is one only of historical importance. Honest Abe Lincolnwas born 145 years ago on this very day. The man who was destined to become the sixteenth presidentof the United States was born in 1809 on a farm near where Hodgenville, Kentucky, noW stands. Muchhas been made of the fact that Lincoln began his life in a log cabin. This usually is taken to mean thathe rose from poverty to greatness. However, the Lmcolns were just as well off as their pioneer neighbors. Lincoln felt that democrary is the best of all forms of government and war made him feel this morestrongly as demonstrated in his Gettysburg Address at the climax of the Civil War. This is perhapshis most famous speech and will be quoted more than once before today is over. As president, hepossessed great power, yet he never lost contact with the common people. He was an unselfish,unpretentious man, hating no one and seeking no revenge. Even in his own time millions of peopleknew him as "Honest Abe" and "Father Abraham" in spite of his high position. /tewte t e ^ lt;wtd .. fafS HOK "It took a war to start the United States, it may take a war to start this."

Asmundson, Police Court Judge, Says Students 'AverageDrivers' By DELL ABELEIN "I'd say that college students are average drivers," said T. B. Asmundson, judge of the Bellingham police court. Asmundson bases his statement on the number of collegestudents hailed into his court on traffic violations. The police judge, who is a Bellingham attorney,also went on to say that high school students make more traffic offenses than college folks andtherefore, high school pupils are slightly below the average in driving ability. Asmundson explained that high school pupils are starting out on their driving careers and do not have the experience older peoplehave. Therefore, they make more mistakes. Asmundson's court handles all minor crimes, with someexceptions, that are committed within the city Bellingham. "I'd estimate 85 to 90 per cent of the cases Itry concern traffic violations," said the judge. Some cases of intoxication are also tried. "Tuesday andThursday are court days." Asmundson remarked. He went on to say the bulk of the cases are triedTuesday, after the weekend. The lawyer says he spends little time in court and may try 20 violators atthe most. Many of the violators choose to forfeit bail rather than appear in court. The judge began topreside over the traffic court in May, 1953, succeeding Bert Kale, who was elevated to the position ofWhatcom county superior court judge. Asmundson previously served as justice of the peace in thejustice court in the Whatcom county courthouse. The juror has a general law practice in Bellingham,and has been here since 1944. He received his News Releases On Vocalists Small bits of news fromthe music department. Thursday, February 11, John Sundquist sang for the city employees.

The score was bad buteven the Lute's coach admitted it was one of those nights you always hope for and seldom have.,PLC'sshooting percentage was very high and their defense was almost flawless. The Seattle Pacific game wasdif-* ferent from the usual procedure this season of leading at halftime and trailing at the end of thegame. The Viks trailed at the intermission but Mac brought them out for what was probably their bestsecond half of the year. How often have you looked at the box score of a basketball game and said "JoeBlokes shouldn't even have played, he only got two points." Recently much emphasis has been, and is,given the best scorer of any club. The person who judges a player on how many points he gets knowslittle about basketball. Certainly a high scorer is good, but often it takes a better man to get him the ball. The "feeder" has not only to hold himself from taking every shot he gets, but he has to continually getthe ball' in to a man who is probably covered by the opponent's best defensive man. There is usually aman on every team who acts as a field general. He holds the team together and sets up the plays. Thisplayer may seldom score but should he leave the contest the team could fall apart and look ragged. Also there is the rebounder.

It was the first time the Vikings had come out on the long end of the score since their win over St.Martin earlier in the season and excitement was at a fever pitch as the Viks put the ball into a semi-freeze to protect their scant lead. LEAD CHANGED During the first quarter the lead changed handsseveral times as both teams battled it out for the upper hand but as the second period began theFalcons were hanging onto a slim two point margin, 18-16. Although the Viks were hit ting well fromthe field in the first half they couldn't manage to close the gap and SPC stretched the difference to 37-29 at the half way mark. In the third stanza the Falcons guarded their'highly coveted lead closely andthe Vikings were not able to contest it without SPC dropping in a few timely field goals to keep theirscant margin intact.

An airtight defense set upby the rangy Lutes spelled doom for the Viks as they were not able to work the ball into the key for easy shots. Time after time the Lutherans worked the ball off the post for easy lay-ups while the haplessVikings were forced to shoot from out front with poor results. PLC grabbed an early lead to whichthey" added points as the game progressed. At the end of the first period the Lutes led 16-7, and byhalf time they had doubled this margin to make it 32-15. By the end of the third canto the score was 55-23 and reserves from the visitor's bench were beginning to make their appearance on the floor.

Love Shouldn't Be Sold Short By BOB DUNLAP LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Isn't itwonderful? And to think that there is one day in the year put aside just for the furtherance of thiswonderful commodity. Yes, it's February the fourteenth, on Sunday, and now is the time to sharpenthat pencil, fill up that pen, and write that missive of undying affection to the girl. Actually the name ofthe day, Valentine's, is derived from t he martyrdom of two saints in Rome in the year 270 A. D„ butthe customs of exchanging love tokens and reminders is essentially a pagan one., • That lastparagraph - is for the practical people. Valentine's day is the one day in the year that one is notexpected to be practical and no one has ever sued for breach of promise on the strength of a Valentine missive. So, man! Go "crazy." Now is the time to tell that girl that you think she is more than a littlespecial. You can do it with a card, with flowers, or with a huge, heart-shaped box of chocolates. For thegrand effect all three—card, flowers, and candy—are recommended. Any girl that wouldn't melt in the face of such a grand assault just isn't. Don't cry—Try! This will be the only day in the 365 ^ that youcan get away with magnificent pretensions of love. A few words on a card, a heart or two, and who can foretell the result? LOVE! LOVE! Don't sell it short. It's endorsed by millions. o Very often it is a greatdisadvantage for a youngster to begin a career with all the advantages.

Because enough people could not make up theirminds to buy a ticket, the Colhecon waffle supper had to be cancelled. A club of this kind cannotoperate on a hotel basis. The food has to be ordered at least four days ahead of the date, and a certainnumber of people have to have bought tickets by this time. A conflicting dinner took some of the bestpatrons of last year's supper. Who is responsible for these dates?

The Collegian has published many articles informing us students of ourshortcomings. I believe that the students are falling down in their responsibilities to themselves and theirinstitution, but-I don't like to see such a strong emphasis of this in the school paper. I don't believe thatthe situation at Western calls for such a hullabaloo over the whole thing. After all you must consider the fact that many students are still going through the process of maturing, and cannot be expected toassume responsibilities. Many of these stabs at students injure the psuedo-dignities of those whoconsider themselves grownup. In consideration of these who are receiving criticism unjustly, it might be well to just accept things as they are and hope for the best. That is unless someone is willing topitch in and start some action. By the way, I believe that there are some who are attempting to improvematters. Could we as students be kept up on the progress of these ventures? K. TINKHAM.

The ski class, which was held at Mount Baker, enjoyed good weather on Saturday, February 6, when this photowas taken. Women's PE Department Organizes All-New Basketball Squads New basketball teams were organized last week in the Women's PE department. The reason for this, according to Dr. LouiseRoloff, is that one team consisted entirely of PE majors. Because of this, the other teams were at adisadvantage. The first game with the new teams was played Wednesday, February 4, between theOranges and the Blues. Final score was 16-16. Marlene Oliver is captain of the Orange team. Otherplayers on the team are Roberta Roberts, Harriet Wilson, Emma Lewis, Grace Balch, Marilyn Scribner;Jo Anif Kraus, Pat Barton, Sheila Holt, and Dolly Geiss. • Carol Westmoreland captains the Blues.Players on that team are Barbara Arnot, Linda Neklason, Jackie Mallette, Dorothy Bowen, Mary Jones,Lois Chudek, Sharlene Philliber, and Katherine Snitman. Players on Lynn Frazier's Red team are MarieJohnson, Jo Anne Martini, Jeannine Pederson, Nancy Tate, Doris Ward, Marilyn Smith, ConnieHelgeson, and Marilyn Hart. The Greens are captained by Sharon Fulner, who is assisted by playersAvis Weidenbach, Ann Meurer, Carol Diers, Carole Hall, Gloria Eastman, Pat Ingram, Da-lene Twing,and Clara Mattson. Hi gals . . . Pick up your big fat pink ears, cuz we've got a lot of things to chew'therag about this week. AN IMPORTANT BIT OF NEWS—Two basketball teams are going to representWestern in a Sports Day at the University of British Columbia on February 27th and 28th. The teams willbe chosen after the intra-tournament here is over. •:• OUR DEEPEST and sincerest sympathies tothe former Doris Boardman, now now Mrs. Charles Ward. Really, we're just jealous!

Application forms for camp counselling at these places, plus many more, are available in Miss Ruth Weythman's office. It may seem early to be pondering summer plans already, but kiddo, watch these next few months flit by. THE WRA CARNIVAL was a rousingsuccess, according to Shirley Nelson, adviser of the club. All of the booths were kept busy the wholeevening and in general, everyone had a good time. Should Mary Jones be seen on campus with a case of "stoop-itis" have a pity on her, friend. She was one of the girls who picked up all those pins youknocked down at the bowling booth. NOW THAT the baskeball teams have been shuffled and dealtagain, competition is much more exciting and challenging. Two teams last week were still tied after aperiod of overtime was played—keeps one hustling, to say the least. Before we leave, one more thinggals—don't forget to check your valuables at the cage while busy or in class (there's a difference).Some people seem to have the idea that "what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine, too."

Cousins, Editor and Author to Lecture: 'Who Speaks for Man?'Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review of Literature, will appear as guest on the Artist andLecture Series, Tuesday, February 23, at 10 a. m., in the auditorium. He will lecture on "Who Speaks For Man?" He has written widely on the subjects of public affairs and political science and is the authorof "The Good Inheritance; The Democratic Chance," which deals with Athenian NORMAN COUSINSdemocracy and its meaning to America. He also has edited several volumes, among them "A Treasury of Democracy." The magazine, USA, edited by Cousins during the war, was published and distributed by the U. S. government. His editorial on the implications of the Atomic Age "Modern Man Is Obsoletehas been expanded into a book and published and broadcast in six languages. IN ON A-BOMB TEST In June, 1946, Cousins was accredited to the Joint Task Force of the Atomic Bomb Test at Bikini. Hisobservations on the test were broadcast by American Broadcasting Company, for which he is aspecial consultant on world affairs. For their contributions to World Peace, Cousins and Warren Austin,Cheif U. S. Delegate to the U. N., received honorary degrees from the American University inWashington, D. C. In the late summer of 1948, Cousins was appointed by General Clay to serve oh a committee to study and make recommendations pertaining to the democratization of the Germanpeople. He did the first broadcast from an airlift plane to the U. S. decribing the "operation vittles" inacual flight.. His "Apology for Living" was his observations on the survey of displaced person camps inthe U. S. zone, Recently returned from India, on a special mission for the State Department, he hadnumerous conferences with Prime Minister Nehru and other government leaders. By STAFFREPORTER Seat No. 1201 in Western's auditorium was filled Tuesday night when Raphael Mendez,widely acclaimed trumpet artist, appeared as guest artist with the Western Washington College band. STANDING ROOM ONLY In addition to the 1201 in the regular seats there were over 800 more peoplethere. They were in the aisles, in the orchestra pit, on the stairs, in the foyer, and backstage. Allavailable space was filled with only enough left to meet the fire regulations. The interest of the studentsand public was justified. Mendez performed brilliantly and proved himself a master of technique,articul-lation, and tone. He literally and figuratively had his audience in the aisles, receiving thunderousovations after each number. SHARED APPLAUSE Mendez insisted on sharing the credit andapplause with the WWC band and its director, Don Walter, each time. After one of Mendez' solonumbers he displayed his latin heritage by kissing the hand of Marilyn Walter, freshman member of theband, who had accompanied him on the piano. This brought a tremendous burst of applause from theaudience and rosy cheeks from Miss Walter. With the band and solo, Mendez' numbers were his ownarrangements of "Czardas," and Chipanecas "Mexican Hat Dance," and the "Trumpeter's Carnival."Encores were "Carnival of Venice," and "Elf's Trumpet." "Elf's Trumpet" was composed by Mendez.Klipsun Nearing Completion, Says McKinney Klipsun format is nearing completion according toEditor Arlene McKinney, and will be ready late in the Spring quarter. The annual will be 148 pages plus a 12 page supplement to be released later to cover spring activities. The main issue will be of standardsize and have a padded cover. CHANGES IN PIX Most of the pictures are in, and club pictures arenearly finished. The class pictures are being set up now.

"We've worked closely with the Student Publications committee of the Board of Control in setting up policy for the organization of the (Continued on Page 7) ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 February 19 - Page 2 ---------- Western Student Election Lethargic Americans boast about their country as being the most free in theworld. This seems to show that they are very proud of their nation, and it's organization. However, theycarry their freedom too far—they consider themselves free from the necessity to vote to preserve the very organization and nation for which they profess such great pride. The consequences of so many .adultAmericans refraining from using their right to-participate in the governing of their own future makes a sadpicture ; : - • • • ' * ' _ * • ' " • * • ' * The same- situation prevails at Western; that is, somany eligible voters do not exercise their right to choose those persons who represent them. At Western the picture is even worse: in election after election the voting rarely reaches as high as 50 per cent of the eligible voters; to use colloquiallism, they "stay away in droves." STUDENTS FUTURE CITIZENS It istrue that the immediate consequences of this lethargy at Western can not be described as blackly as thenational lethargy. On the other hand, these people who "stay away from the polls in droves" are the future citizens of the United States, who, if they do not wake from their dangerous lethargy, will bring thenational vote down even further. But these people must awake and recognize the danger before theirlethargy brings about the'downfall of all of us. The College Scene.... By BOB DUNLAP The end of theworld is at hand! The hot, far, south has frozen over! There were "Standing room only" signs out at anArtist Lecture series program. To anyone that was fortunate enough to get a seat the reason wasobvious. Raphael Mehdez was superb. Not being a music major I know nothing about articulation, tripletongueing, or any of the,other aspects or facets of trumpet playing. But I do know that adjectives such as super excellent, wonderful, and*—'• ———————r—— -.— thoroughly enjoyable describethe performance of Mendez. Anyway, 2,000 people couldn't be wrong. It is programs like this that makeup for the screechy sopranos, tired pianists, and "distinguished" lecturers that Western students h a ve been subjected to in times past. One person largely responsible for bringing Mendez to Western wasDon Walter, Western's band director. To him, and to the Western band go the thanks of Westernstudents, Bellingham townfolk, and many other people for making possible an unforgettable evening. I sincerely hope that we c a n get more programs like this on the A L circuit. Maybe this will serve as a model to the present A L committee who are now making up the program for next quarter. This isthe sort of thing that the students want. So, go easy on the sopranos please. March 13: the "Unique"mixer. Kay MacKenzie says that the sophomore class mixer will be truly unique. Theme wil be"shipwreck.!' Unique? What would you be wearing if you were suddenly shipwrecked? Whatever itwould be, will be suitable garb. There will be girls in sarongs, men and boys in grass skirts and sailorsuits and all that sort of stuff like that there! Fun? Man! D-Fish-N-C's . . . "Frosh"'; hours -moans ofsheer anguish—heard over the campus this past week. The bitter fruits of "goofing" are being harvested. And most of the people concerned are far from happy. Ah, well! Only four more weeks to go! •Loungeology ~is progressing fine. No D-Fish-N-C's there. Heard tell that the "prof" was going to crackdown on the "lounge-lumps" who think that whole place is an ashtray and waste can. Wassa' matta?Ain't you-all had no bringin' up? First thing you know someone will be using the jukebox for an ashtray. That's the best solution offered, yet! There I go again. Really, I like the jukebox. The only thing wrongwith it now is the location. If it were put up on the roof things would be better. Yes? WWCollegian Page2 Friday, February 19, 1954 titesiie Chat The paramount concern in the minds of many people thesedays is the ASB, elections. The suspense will be eliminated in the ninth week when the general election will be held and we shall know who will be the victors in the BOC race and also who will be next year'spresident and vice president. The election winter quarter is thought to be the most important of theyear because it is the presidential election. Considering the good candidates campaigning for the ASB positions, I hope you will do your job in voting for the ones you think are qualified. I have oftenwondered whether these is any correlation between gripers and non-voters. Remember that your majorresponsibility as a college citizen is to make use of one of those 1110 pound voting machines in theStudent Center. HENRY HOWE ASB President Mid-Terms Over; Profs Won't Forget LaughableAnswers By JAN KING Mid-term exams are all over for another quarter, but some of the answers thatthe profs had to plow through still have them laughing. For instance: The juice secreted into the mouth is called "sylvia," or the answer, "The Petunic Wars," to the question of what were the three wars between Carthage and Rome in which Carthage was utterly destroyed. Some new definitions for Webstermight be found on papers, like the definition for sabbatical: leaving for religious reasons. Increment:a pay raise granted for an increase in the family. Society: people living together and interreddependency. Is it any wonder the tests are given only once a quarter?

Dick Dale, commissioned by the Board to paint a nuujallast quarter, came to the Board with his report this week. Receiving the materials and a draft noticealmost simultaneously; Dick had a dilemma Should he try to finish the mural in the eleven days hehad left or should he ask the Board to commission someone else to finish the job. He made hisdecision. Dick finished the mural just a few hours before leaving to report for his physical. TheBOC thanked him for the many sleepless nights he spent in completing a prjoect that has been on the.way for what seems to be an eternity. The mural is finished and requires only a frame before it shallgrace the space in the lounge that has waited so long for it. DISCRIMINATION Representatives of the"W" club came to the Board this week with a petition to change the eligibility rules for athletes in regardto awards. The Board last year passed an amendment. which required an athlete to have a 1.75 gradepoint average the quarter of sport participation to be eligible for an award. These ^representatives felt,and justly so, that such a requirement is a discrimination against the athlete who works harder thanmost to obtain an award. The Board concurred. Therefore the Board passed that an athlete must havecompleted ten hours of work with passing grades to be eligible for an award. Even this stipulation issteeper than any other on campus or other campus of the Evergreen conference, even though it mayseem otherwise. With the schedule an athlete is on during a season even this requirement is a hard oneto meet. This does not change, however, the 1.75 eligibility for participation in a sport that is anEvergreen conference rule. Real George Day Scheduled for WWC Students Monday we will celebratethe birthday of the father of our country —George Washington! The same Washington who bravelycrossed the Delaware, spent a winter at Valley Forge, and led our soldiers in a Revolutionary Waragainst the British. We will celebrate the birthday of little George, who chopped down the cherry tree,and then went on to become the first president of the United States. Few of us will stop to think of himas our first president or will we remember that our own state was named for him. Still on Monday over1,200 students of Western will say "Thanks George, thanks for the day off."

Actors Perform in College PlayAPPEAR SOON—Bill Elwodd, Martha Rank, and Gordon Pfister (left to right, above) are shown in adress rehearsal for the Winter quarter play, Man With Trumpet Packs Auditorium 'Be Your Age'Presented To Western Audience Monday By SANDEE BARTEE The Artist and Lecturers programTuesday night at WWC auditorium was undoubtedly the best we have had in a long time. People packed every available seating facility to see Raphael Mendez, the man with the golden trumpet. They sat in the aisles, on the exit .stairs,* in the orchestra pit, backstage anywhere they could find, even above thestage on the catwalks; People stood in the lobby, for many it was wonderful just to hear him play. They continued to applaud him back,on stage for encore after encore. After the performance I interviewedhim in Mr. Walter's office. He was followed in his retreat by a large group of people, both young and old.They were so completely awed with him. One little boy said "Gee, Mr. Mendez, I think you did real welltonight." Another wanted two autographs and Mr. Mendez said "One to a customer," and ushered themout. He continued in his very easy conversational manner to tell me how he played for Pancho Villa. Hecalled the outlaw "The Robin Hood of Mexico." He told m lt;e how he persuaded Pancho Villa to let himgo. "He told me he would never permit me to leave his company and join the regiments of the PoliceBand which I so desired to join. He had me put in an execution cage where he was to have the honor offiring the fatal shot." All the time the General was teasing him. He sent him away with a bodyguard of six men. He could not join the Police Band, so he came to the United States where he went hungry tryingto make his living in a strange country. He worked in the steel mills, played a guitar indives—anything to gain a living to play again someday his beloved trumpet. One day in Detroit,Michigan, when he was going home from work, he noticed a beautiful trumpet in a music storewindow. He stood there gazing at it so intently that the store manager came out and asked him if hewould like to buy it. "I cannot buy it, but I love it." "Would you like to play it?" Of course he acceptedthe offer and while he was playing, Russ Morgan entered the store for the purpose of : buying : somemusic equipment. He heard Mr. Mendez and asked who it was. The storekeeper introduced them.Morgan auditioned Mr. Mendez and hired him to play with the band. He played for other orchestras also, some of which are Tommy Dorsey, Alvino Rey, and David Rose. He has made many appearances ontelevision. He is touring the nation's colleges to tell the students his experiences and try to help themachieve their goals with advice and assistance. Taylor Writes About 'Atlati' Last month's issue of"American Antiquity," an archeology publication, contained an article by Dr. Herbert Taylor,anthropology, and Warren Caldwell of the department of anthropology of the University of Washington.The article concerned the prehistoric spear-thrower found a few years ago when Dr.. Taylor and a groupof his students were on a field trip near the Skagit river. The implement was discovered in the mud of theNorthwest branch of the mouth of the Skagit. It was shown to Dr. Taylor by Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Johnsonof LaConner in June, 1952. Dr. Taylor believes that this discovery may have an important bearing on archaeological interpretation of the Pacific Northwest. The significance of the discovery lies in severalfacts: (1) Carvings on the atlati are unlike any known before; (2) The design of the instrument is unique;and (3) The spear-thrower has heretofore been unknown in the Northwest. The spear-thrower is about 16inches long and is so ornately carved that investigators think it possible that it may have had someceremonial use. The carving is not typical of Northwest design. The atlati has two finger holes, adesign infrequently encountered and never before reported north of Mexico. By MARILYN GAY "BeYour Age" by Mary Orr and Reginald Deriham was presented Monday evening in the Western auditorium by the New York Civic Drama Guild Players. AMUSING, UNPOLISHED Even though the plot of this light comedy was amusing and held audience interest, the not quite polished performances of the actorsdetracted from general entertainment value of the play. The cast of "Lo and Behold," presented lastmonth by the same company, showed more polish and left a better impression. BOY, GIRL,PSYCHOLOGIST The play started with a bang when Gwen, the feminine lead, became engaged toone of her professors at college. Amusing complications began when lie turned out to be an oldSAE fraternity brother of her father's. The rejected "boy next door," Bob, competently played by ArthurWayne, complicated the plot by encouraging Archibald K. Holly, (Donald Keyes) Gwen's father todiscourage the middle-aged suitor. Eliot Sturgeon, the fiance, (Gilbert Reade)) had been a womans'psychologist and a bachelor who, in his prime, had written several books on understanding thewoman's mind. Apparently he forgot this advice because ironically Bob regained his girl by usingmethods prescribed in the professor's books. Lois Holly (Joan Shepherd), and Potter Erickson (EverettMoore), held the fast tempo of the play with their teen-age antics. The whole play was made morecomplex by a strike in Holly's plant. Potter's father, the town's leading newspaper editor, disagreedviolently with 'Archie Holly and his plant policies. The play ends happily when Gwen realizes she lovesBob and Professor Spurgeon recognizes the fact that he is too old for Gwen. The members of thecompany performed equally well. Everett Moore's portrayal of the scatterbrained Potter Ericksonseemed very realistic. His flighty girl friend Lois seemed a little too brash for a supposedly upperclassMiddle Western family. Gwen (Joan Kaufman) a pretty though rather spoiled girl who knew what shewanted and usually got it was excellently done. Bob, the rejected suitor, and Mr. Holly, thedisapproving father, gave nice but rather stiff performances. Elliot Spurgeon, the middle-aged fiance,appeared experienced and polished. "MR. ROBERTS" NEXT "Be Your Age" was the second in a seriesof three plays to be presented in Bellingham under the auspices of the Bellingham Junior Chamber ofCommerce. The Civic Drama Guild of New York, will bring their final production in this series, toBellingham on March 15. "Mr.;Roberts" will be presented at that timei Johannesen Presents DiscGRANT JOHANNESEN Grant Johannesen, young pianist, has appeared many times at WesternWashington college. His first appearance was at the dedication of the new Music and Auditoriumbuilding on the campus. To show his appreciation and gratitude, Mr. Johannesen sent to the college ajumbo sized long playing record. This record, which will be kept in the music library, includesselections of Gabriel Faure's "Ballade for Piano and Orchestra"; "Theme and Variations, Opus 19";arid "Impromptu No. 3, Opus 34" On the other side of the recording are "Nocturnes," Numbers 1 to8; "Movements Perpetuals," by Francis Pou-lenc. In a recent appearance at Stanford university Mr.Johannesen niade so much of an impression it was said "the music seemed to flow forth in a pureinspired form." \ ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 February 19 - Page 4 ---------- Tft d ^€U*Utfy .-..;•* Stent Western's athletic ambassadors may have three more prominentathletic figures on campus next quarter.

Vikings Hope For Repeat Saturday night the Western Washington Vikings will visitthe Seattle Pacific Falcons in their spacious, new, Royal Brougham pavilion. The newly erectedgymnasium has a seating capacity of 3000 people and a large playing floor which is quite differentfrom the average maple court of the Evergreen circuit. The large gym and the brand of bsaketball theFalcons have been playing in their last few games will probably mean a rough evening for the Viks. Intheir last meeting with the Vikings, SPC was edged out in the closing' minutes of play by an inspiredWestern squad 61-58, but since that time the Falcons have lost to Whitworth on the Whit's own floor 49-48 and have racked up a win over Eastern Washington. So, if statistics mean anything, Seattle Pacific can play right along with the best squads in the conference and hold their own. Western's hot andcold Vikings will have to be hitting the basket all night long-if they are to make a good showing againsttheir Falcon hosts. All year long the Viks have played good basketball during the first half but whenthey start the second half it seems as if dame fortunate has nailed a lid on the basket. Tomorrowevening they will have to be able to hit the bucket with regularity in both halves if they are going to giveSPC a good scrap. Be Thrifty...

Just two weeks ago PLC handed the Vikings their worst defeat of the season, via a 68-38 onslaught. In thatcontest the Lutes' defense held their opponents to but nine field goals. Western will have a much betterchance against the Tacoma foe tonight than the above score would indicate. In a pre-season contest in Vancouver, PLC edged the Viks 44-47 in a thriller. In the last contest three Gladiators hit in thedouble figures, and will be prime defensive targets tonight. They are Nordquist, Lund and Koessler. Big Bob Boss has also been a high scorer this year. If the "Macmen" manage to upset their first conference opponent it will be the biggest upset so far this year. Ski Classes Meet Despite Weather LastSaturday the ski students faced a new kind of ski weather. Blizzard conditions prevailed the entire day.This year students have skied on icy slopes, walked three miles to the lodge when the road was blocked, have been drenched in pouring rain, and last Saturday a strong wind stung their faces, and madevisibility poor.

Marquis and MRH Hold Lead In Intramural Basketball As Season Draws toClose By KYLE WESTLAND As the men's intramural basketball league draws to a close it appearsrather doubtful that Marquis of league A and MRH of league B will be kept from winning their respective league titles. This past week was a slow one for both leagues as there were seven forfeits. In fact theTigers and Glutchers forfeited themselves right out of the league. Marquis picked up two victories lastweek. On February 11 they smothered the Flying Canucks 75-31. High scorers for the winners wereJake Thomas (20), Jim Gard (16), and Dick Hubber (16). Last Tuesday Marquis picked up a forfeit from the Steam Rollers. Daniels remained close behind Marquis and it appears the league A title will besettled next Tuesday evening when these two teams meet. During last week's play Daniels picked uptwo forfeits. One from the Tigers and one from the Glutchers. Before forfeiting out of the league,Glutchers came up with a good game when they beat the once mighty Gym Bats, 37-32. High foiGlutchers was Anderson with IS points and 'top man for the losers was reilable Spud Miller with 14. Inother games played in league A, the Flying Canucks picked up forfeit from the Tigers and the Al-pinerspicked up an easy victory by the same method from the Gym Rats.

After trailing most of the game the Loggers forged into the lead with somesharp-shooting by Moyles and Eliason plus a few bad breaks for Western. VIKS DOMINATE HALF TheVikings dominated the first half with the rebounding of John Crooks and Roger Knigge and the shootingof -Bob Petrosik, who hit for 14 and Bob Stone, who led both teams scoring with 23 counters. Although the lead changed hands rften in the early phases of the ame the Viks kept the game well in hand withgood shooting and ball handling/Western led at the snd of the first period 19-18, but they were not ableto add much to their margin in the second quarter as the half ended with the Viks 3Ut front.34-29. In the second half Western hit only six field goals but frequent trips to the foul line kept their shaky lead intactby the end of the third quarter which ended 45-44.

Central Triumphs; Outscores Western To Tune of 59-44 Western had one of their un-explainable field goal droughts last Saturday night as Central Washington college outshot and out-scored them in every department to win with comparative ease, 59- 44., GOOD AT START The Vikings managed tosink eight two-pointers in the first half in spite of the tight defense displayed by the Wildcats and ledearly in the game 20-16. The Viks showed a fairly effectively defense as they held Central to a fourpoint lead at half time 31-27, but the half time score was no indication of what was to come in the nexthalf. In the second half Western's scoring- fast began while Central was still continuing to add pointsto their uncontested lead. Three field goals were all the Viks could-manage to force through the basket in the second half and none of them came in the last nine minutes. Western's 22 free throws amounted to half of their total points arid was the only reason the game didn't get entirely out of proportion. Itlooked as if Western just didn't have the necessary amount of field goal coupons and the rationing wasso strict that each man was limited to two baskets.

It is a job that goes unnoticed and, where little credit is given. This isLarry's second yearof basketball refereeing. The money he receives from this task help him throughschool. ENJOYS JOB Larry refereed junior high football games this year and last year. He alsoumpired men's intramural spftball last year and he will do the same job this year. Despite the verbalabuses he receives from each of these undesirable jobs, Larry still enjoys his job thoroughly. The"official" is in the teacher-education field and has a major in social studies with a minor in physicaleducation. He has one more quarter of student teaching to do. One of the most thrilling experiences in his football career at Ballard high school was his playing in the Thanksgiving Day game in Seattleagainst star Don Heinrich and the Bremerton team. Larry graduated from Ballard in 1949 and scho-lastically speaking his grades were average. PLAYS WITH RAMBLERS The whistle-toter enteredWestern the following fall, immediately making Western's football team. After four years of collegefootball, he keeps active in that field by playing with the Seattle Ramblers. Last October he participatedin the Boy's club game at Tacoma in which his team was matched against a team made up of wrestlers. This was his best game in his first year with the Ramblers, as he made two touchdowns to lead histeam to a 21-6 victory. Although he did hot make any all-star teams during his college play he waschosen Homecoming captain in 1952. The year before Lowry was on Western's team when they woneight of nine games. In this string of victories were two wins over Eastern. It was the first time since 1938 that Western beat Eastern here, and when the Vikings beat the Savages at home, it was the firsttime since 1924. After such a successful playing career in football it is no wonder Larry Lowry enjoysbeing connected with sports In every way. o TEST YOURSELF Breathe on this space for twominutes.

The skin gets nourishment from the blood and lymph. Fats orcreams applied to the skin may serve a useful purpose in keeping the skin supple, preventing scalingand cracking and maintaining the resistance of abnormally dry skins. The condition of the blood has adirect affect on the skin. Anemia and other abnormalities of the blood and defective circulation, deprivethe skin of nutrition and proper drainage of waste products and make it pale, too greasy, or too dry,lessening its resistance to irritation and infection. CARE OF SKIN In winter the skiri secretes lesssweat and oil, the cold air is dry. Soap used too freely is apt to cause the skin to become scaly and dry. For such people cold cream is a justifiable substitute for soap. Those with greasy skins, however, arebest cared for by vigorous washing with hot water and soap, followed by a cold water rinse.

Preference will be given tosigned letters when space requirements dictate limitations. The editor reserves the right to edit or zatwhere necessary. Letters do not necessarily reflect the policy of the Collegian, nor is the Collegianresponsible for opinions expressed therein; Dear Editor: Having noted in last week's Collegian aletter to you which deplored "a strong emphasis" of "our shortcomings," I am prompted to point out the positive side of your negative attitude. (I'm- going along here with your heading of the letter.) Those ofus who have a true interest in a better Western can regard a statement like this only with disgust;the inference is that we should relax our vigilance, drown any thought of progress, and let things drift. If,and only if, we are about to concludes that student government, and students participation in collegeaffairs, are completely valueless does such an opinion as this make sense. This is no call toprogress; indeed, this is a call to lethargy! It is certainly to be hoped that this do-nothing-go-nowhere attitude stated in the letter is held by only a few, and that you, Mr. Editor, will continue to present toyour readers all reasonable articles of student self-criticism. Western will never be any better than thestudents which comprise it. Presently we have a fine school. We do agree, however, that there are-flaws; and certainly no flaw will ever be corrected if we "just accept things as they are and hope for the best." If we accept things as they are, there is not now, nor ever can be, any hope for the best At one point lastweek's critic of your policy took a surprising turn. He indicated that if someone "is willing to pitch in andstart some action," this "hope for the best" idea may be substituted for something better (as an aside, there surely is no lack of more constructive approaches). But this is the very thing that you have been trying to do by printing student opinions. This is your function; this is your service! So it appears, Mr.Editor, that your policy has been criticised and the only improvement suggested by the critic iscontinuation of the very policy he abhors. Puzzling indeed! Sincerely, DOUG KAZEN. Dear Editor: Iwould like to give my opinion on the subject of our Artists and DRESSES CLEANED and PRESSED(plain) Smith Cleaners CALL WE HAUL 2304 Cornwall Phone 2796 IN BELLINGHAM NEWBERRY'S Lecture series schedule. I am a second quarter freshman here at Western. During these twoquarters I have noticed that the Artists and Lecturers who have come to Western have been eithermusicians, writers, or historians. I have enjoyed the presentations thus far. I have not noticed anypersons on the stage for science. Since science is becoming more necessary in our everyday living, Ibelieve that we should have some chemists, physicists, mathematicians, geologists, zoologists, orbiologists on our Series schedule. This is not my opinion alone. It is shared by many, in the sciences.JOEL A. CARLSON. (Editor's Note: Following is a letter from Yvonne Carson, alumna of Western, who is in the Economics division of the American Embassy in Vienna, Austria. She transferred to the embassy after Jiaving worked in the Allied Secretariat.) Dear Dr. Van Aver: I know I owe you a letter, and such along period of time; I'm sorry. The more I delay it, the farther back in the hole I feel like crawling. I think Ihad better climb out and get something worthwhile accomplished. Since I last wrote you, which hasbeen so, long I can't remember, but I think I didn't tell you that I went to Italy the last of October. We had a gala time although we didn't have the best of weather, but Italy even under drooling skies is abeautiful country. We went on one of those nine-day wonder trips—the kind where you feel like youmade connections with the trains by running into them rather'than riding on them. We went to Rome,Naples, Capri, Sorrento and back up to Florence, so, you see, it was pretty extensive. As of now, Romeis my favorite city over here, surpassing Paris by a mile. RUSSIAN PARTY Went to a Russian birthdayparty in December which was, to say the least, different. The Russians as of the last couple of monthshave become so buddy-buddy you wouldn't realize they were the same people who had been talkingstiffly to you before. I still wouldn't trust them, however. Too much spigot turning off and on. Went toMariazell in the British zone a couple of weeks ago. Mariazell is a little skiing resort and very pretty. Ididn't go skiing—let's face it!—I'm not that athletically in-lined and the gracefulness with which thecasualties wear their casts doesn't make it look any more ap pealing. HOMECOMING I hope'your NewYear is starting off with flying colors, and you ar lt; enjoying yourself. I hope to be bad for Homecomingthis year, but don'i dare count on it for fear of being disappointed. At any rate, one ol these days I hopeto amble arounc my favorite campus.

The story, by Molnar, concerns the life of Liliom—the original Hungarian heel—from the time he meets • -— We tesmWGAkUuftott COLLEGIAN Vol XLVI — No. 19 Western Washington College, Bellingham, WashingtonFeb. 26, 1954 his "wife" until his death. The last two scenes deal with Liliom's life after death and hisattempt to make retribution for his misdeeds on earth. SMITH OUTSTANDING There are over twentystudents the cast, but the outstanding characterization is turned in by Carole Smith. Carole plays Marie who is a dim-witted but nice friend of Julie (Liliom's "wife"). Here is sparkle." Here is projection ofcharacter. Here is an apparent true acting ability. Her lines in scene II about sinful, passionate love andideal love will more than likely bring down the house. The leads are played by William Elwood and Jackie Kintner. Played adequately, but without sparkle that makes good acting excellent. In fairness it shouldbe mentioned that college plays are reviewed from a dress rehearsal. This is because newspaperdeadlines must be met. The fact that it was a rehearsal may be the fault here. The presence : gt;foccupied seats may instill into ihese two the quality that will pro-luce an inspired performance. This jftenhappens in theatrical produc-ions, both amateur and profes-ional. •5RADLEY "COMMANDING" Anoutstanding characterization I stage tonight is presented by tfary Jane Bradley as Mrs. Mus- :at. Therewill be no doubt as to /ho she is when she comes on stage, commanding stage presence in-leed. Thisrates a bow for Laur-nce Brewster, speech department, •or casting ability. Brewster also irects"Liliom." Another outstanding bit of polish- [ acting is turned in by Charles ennis as he plays theheavenly lagistrate in scene VI. Here is tnoothness of delivery that lends redence to a difficultperformance. Floyd Jackson is a policeman, ctually there was .not a policeman I stage, but FloydJackson. Truly, e true test of Thespian ability is submerge personality and play le part. Floyd'sdistinctive person-ity was head and shoulders above ater at the rehearsal Wednesday ight: THERS"GOOD" TO "FINE" Also in the play are many smaller gt;les. Some may be as large or rger than those of people men-oned above. All give good to fine rformances. There are Kyle West- ,nd, Jim Simon, DanFlaherty, oger Williams, Jack Rose, Cliff arcoe, Lee Porterfield, Gordon fister, Martha Rank, Bob Mc-[urray,, and three luscious ser-mt girls. Mark Flanders, Speech, directed nstruction of sets for "Liliom."e has done a fine piece of work. II sets are very good and those in enes IV and VI. and super-excel-t.Summarizing it may be said that iliom" will be good at its worst d wonderful at its best. The act-l abilities of Carole Smith, Mary ,ne Bradley, and Charles Dennis ;ure an evening of entertainment, d the fine-setsshould make any majors in the audience happy. SCENE FROM LILIOM—The above picture is a scenefrom the play Liliom which will be presented tonight and tomorrow night at the college auditorium. Fromleft to right the four main characters are seen, namely: Carole Smith as Marie, Jackie Kintner as Julie, Bill Elwood as Liliom, and Mary Jane Bradley as Mrs. Mus-kat. The play starts at 8:15 and college studentscan get in free upon presentation of their student body card.

An old cliche, and quiteappropriate to the subject. Last week Western saw one of its largest turnouts registered in the ,A-Mbuilding (and on an A L series, too) when trumpeter Raphael Men-dez came to town and enraptured anoverflow crowd. Auditorium Not Often Full It isn't often that the auditorium is overflowing for an A Lseries program; indeed,, not often is the auditorium even full, or near it. We feel that the result of Mr.Mendez' program is an indication of the temper of not only Western's students, but also of thetownspeople. Too much "profoundness" already The times are tragic. We hear this almost every day, butwe ignore it. People (and students are people) are beset every day by the possibilities of world-wide war,separation from loved ones, rumors of depression; they get enough of serious and profound thought intheir everyday lives. The A L series committee is working on next year's programs at the presenttime. Let us hope that they were partially guided by the Mendez program. Mendez was more expensivethan the regular artist on the series? Perhaps, then, one might improve the A L series in the samemanner as the BOC hoped to improve student assemblies a few years back: CUT DOWN ON THEQUANTITY, BUILD UP ON QUALITY. The College Scene.... by Dunlap Tuesday is "Campaign Speech"day for the six BOC, three vice-presidential, and three presidential candidates. The time is 10 a.m. andthe place is in Western's auditorium. Here is where the "planks" are exposed and the platforms arebuilt. Contrary to concepts formed from viewing past attendance figures of* : : - WWCollegian Page 1Friday, February 26, 1954 John Ray Labeled As'Mr. Emotion' By MARYANN DEXTER "Mr. Emotion,"as Johnnie Ray has been tagged, has worked as a night-club pianist and as a straight-man for a comicbefore he settled on singing for a career. In 1951, a Columbia r e c o r d representative heard him at. aDetroit club and signed him to Columbia's "Okeh" label. Johnnie cut "Cry," and "The Little White CloudThat Cried," such affairs, these assemblies are open to the student body. This is part of that "votingintelligently" stuff that everyone says is part of the American heritage. Truly it is that! In our politicalcampaigns at Western the charge could easily be made that there is too much stress on clever posters, or popularity rather than on what the candidate has to offer in student government. The place to hearwhat each candidate stands for is Tuesday at 10 a. m. "Liliom' is on stage tonight at Western'sauditorium. Have you ever wondered who makes the stage curtain go at the right time? Or who pushesaround all the scenery? Tonight it will be Ralph Squillace at the curtain. So if it comes down on Liliom'sneck in the middle of his death scene the blame may be fixed. On the other hand, if all goes smoothly,as it no doubt will, the plaudits may be directed in the proper direction too. Dick Dye and Ken Pedersonwill be back stage, too. June Lamoureaux is stage manager. These are the people who really workbehind the scenes. paces and let go with the darts in the general direction of the pinned up pages.Where the darts stick shall be your classes. This method is guaranteed to take the mental wear andtear out of pre-register-ing. Not recommended for lounge-ology majors. Pre-registration is at hand again. This is the time that you decide to take all the things that you're sorry you took six weeks later. Forthose people that have difficulty selecting classes the following procedure is suggested. Go to theCoop store. Buy four or five darts. Go home. Tear out all the pages in a 1953-54 class schedule. Pinthem to a convenient wall. Step back 13 I can't let the week pass without saying something about mycourse in Loungcology. I'm having difficulties there. It seems that I am failing in a sub-course entitled,"Philosophy of the-Native American Songs as Presented on the Automatic Vending Machines."Specifically I am having trouble understanding tflie underlying psychological factors in "BellBottom Blues." Oh well, perhaps someone in the music department can explain it to me. However, Isuggest we move the "jukebox" into room 15 of the^A-M building so that we may isolate these factorsmore easily. Objections? They could use those "fine" compositions in the music appreciation coursesat the same time.

UNIQUE SHOWMAN Johnnie is a unique showman. His repertoire is sprinkled with songs in the pop, jazz, and religious vein, all of which are delivered with exaggeratedgestures and cracking voice. And, yes, he really does cry onstage, but, confidentially, after he leavesthe floor, he doesn't do much sobbing. After all, how tear-jerking is a million dollars? Teresa "Legs"Brewer, who's made jiitesibe Chat I wonder what the record is across the nation for the percentage ofstudents that vote in college elections. I don't know if there is any way of finding out, but I hope it isover 42 per cent. That is the percentage ..that voted at Western ;last week. I suppose that regardlessof what organizations you choose to investigate, even in our. U. S. government, there are people whoneglect their right, to vote. ^ We should remember that the individual's right to vote has not alwaysexisted in the.U. S. nor does it exist everywhere in the world today. It is regretful that so many forget the prices that have been paid to preserve our. freedoms. Next week we are going to have another chance to vote. It is the general election and the time when next year's president and vice president alongwith two BOC members will be elected. If you are one of the select 42 per cent—take my words witha grain of salt—but talk it up and get out to the polls next week. Remember the time—next Tuesdayand Wednesday. The placet—the student center. The event—the general election. SEE YOU ATLILIOM! HENRY HOWE, ASB President. /4cn*4 t6e 'Baand S(U*H 6K Did your favorite candidate -forget to file for office? Was he unable to push past the primaries? Candidates not on the ballot may berun as sticker candidates. This ruling was passed at this week's meeting of the Board. This makes aformerly tight race more or less wide open if any one sticker candidate could gain a plurality. The Boardwas approached this week regarding the Junior Prom. It was asked to indicate if it would*— supportProm expenses in case the student body failed to attend. With a twelve-piece orchestra coming up fromSeattle especially for this last big dance of the year, a large turnout is expected. But the f arseeingjuniors will have a cushion for the blow of non-support if it comes. Publications asked for a smallappropriation to enable publication editors and some staff members to attend a conference at UBCtoday. The staff will view UBC facilities and talk with the various editors and staffs of the publications about mutual problems and their possible solutions. The Board put its stamp of approval on theconference. Publications committee approached the Board with a by-law amendment which would enable the Board to appoint the Klipsun editor and business manager the sixth week of Winter quarter.The request was made to enable incoming Klipsun executives to become familiar with procedures andproblems before taking over the reins of the most important publication of the year. It was passed with amajority. A call is now out for applications for these positions.

Each contestant must submit to Down Beat magazine (2001Calumet Ave., Chicago 16, Illinois) one complete copy of the song entry; a fully signed copy of theentry blank with the attached rules (entry blanks and rules are in February 24 issue or may be obtaineddirectly from Down Beat offices; a subscription for one year or more to Down Beat, and payment for thesubscription). The contest closes July 1, 1954. Elections Now! By KATHY TROUTNER Elections arebeing held now. Dumb as that statement may sound— it's a fact. Those posters aren't to cover up thecracks in the wall. They are up to tell the students of WWC that some one is interested in studentgovernment. These civic-minded souls are running for offices so we, the students, can have a voice inactivities concerning us. Sometimes it seems such a bother to stop and put a few x's by a name laterwill do just as well. This thought is common to all of us, but aren't we striving for a democratic school?The people running for offices are showing their concern by running, the rest of us can show our interestby voting. Have you taken a good look at the posters? Do you know who is running for what? This isimportant. To rush frantically to the polls and scribble x's by some name isn't quite the best thing to do.These candidates care enough about you to run, why don't we care enough about our school to vote?LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Bibler ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 February 26 - Page 3 ---------- Canadian Troupe Here Tuesday The .Beth Watson Singers, a ?roup of y9un£ vocalists froniVancouver^ B.

The Viks will gointo their final series with the same height disadvantage that has troubled them all year. The mightymites, who have been so poorly supported all year, will play their last home game of the season in adetermined effort to win their first; league contest. This will be your last chance to show the team you'vegot as much spirit as they, so why not pack the hilltop gym for the firjst time ' * : this season. —- ——-— McDonald commented on this year's squad with this, "They may be my shortest team, but theyaren't my worst. The thing that has impressed me the -most is their high spirit throughout the none-too-successful season." SEATTLE U BREAKS It looks like the complete athletic break between Seattle U and Western has finally reached a climax. The two schools have been all but friendly since theChieftains went into the big time in basketball and broke their relations up here. The clincher was in theform of a letter delivered to Lappenbusch from Bill Fenton the Seattle U athletic director. Fenton saysthey haven't the funds to travel the 90 miles to Bell-ingham. To show that they really would like thegame, Fenton adds that the Chiefs would come up if the Viks gave them $175 for the trip. Of course theVikings would have a return game in Seattle for which they would get nothing. This sounds like an all but fair deal to the small school and Western won't take it. Western makes the same trip to Seattle for aminimum' of $75 for a squad of 18, three cars and two meals. The Vikings had golf and tennis dateswith Seattle U.

Buchcm's The GOOD Bread Bellingham Baking Co. 101 W. Holly Phono 913 There's arumor that Western has never gone through league play without winning at least one game.

The Thunderbirds will be led byJohn McLeod and Jeff Craig. The rivalry between WWC and UBC has always been stiff and hard foughtfor wins in athletics.

Twenty-seven fouls were called and five men from bothsquads went to the showers before the finale. SCORING REGULAR All five starters scored withsurprising regularity as the Viks jumped into an early lead 20-15 at the end of the first period. Although the Falcons threatened to go out in front several times the Vikings fought back gamely and remained in the front, staving off each rally with a flurry of points. SPC's Wiggins and Gish teamed up to scoreover half the points for the losers but it was not enough to overtake the Vikings. The Falcons closed thegap just before half time and knotted it up in a last minute outburst 35-35. Sparked by Gary Radliff's four buckets, the Viks outscored SPC in the third quarter and went into an uncontested lead by limiting theFalcons to nine points. STONE HIGH MAN In the final stanza the Viks dumped in 11 more field goalswhile the Falcons made but four. The baskets scored by the Vikings spell the big difference in theoutcome the game.

The Viks warmed up their their task in the second quarter with three more fieldgoals but the Lute's early lead was too much for Western to overcome on a bad night. In the second half several of the reservists saw action as Coach McDonald tried some new combinations, and metwith some success.

There are seven games togo,and two of these will definitely be forfeits. After the confusion of forfeited games and postponedgames is cleared away, two factors remain the same. Marquis continues to lead league A, and MRHcontinues to do the same in league B. The only game in league A last week saw Marquis win anotherone and their victim this time was the Alpiners. Halleck and Jim Gard led the onslaught with 25 and 18points, respectively. The final score was 58-29. High for the losers was Jan-gaard with 11 points. Thebig game between Daniels and Marquis was played yesterday, but no score was available at press time. Marquis has won 25 straight and they are definitely trying for an undefeated year in basketball. A testof their real strength was made last Wednesday when they were matched against the cellar dwellers ofleague A of the City league—Bornsteins. The only other game in league A found Steam Boilersforfeiting to Daniels and those winless Tigers forfeiting to the Gym Rats. In league B the Phantom Five upset MRH 26-23. By this victory the Phantom Five became the only team in league B with" anychance of unseating the league leaders. Hospice II beat Hospice I in an inter-house game, 40-27.Okerland was high for the winners with 20 points and Kreiss was high for the losers with 10 points.Other games in league B produced the following results: Huntoon picked up a forfeit from Larson'sFarces and Hospice I picked up its first victory of the season as Hamsters forfeited to them.

The story of the play isabout Liliom, a shiftless young ne'er-do-well and bully of Budapest. He works intermittently as a barkerfor a merry-go-round and many servant girls fall victim to his charms. Among these girls is Julie, whomhe eventually marries. Learning that he is about to become a father, Liliom participates in a highwayrobbery in order to enhance his fortune. But he is caught in the act and stabs himself rather thansubmit to arrest. He is tried in the Magistrate's Court On High but they see through him there. Theyknew how he came to beat that girl whom he married down below, how he came,to plan the robbery,how he came to kill himself. They know what repent-ence is in his heart though his is much too cocky to admit it or make any plea for himself. He is sentenced to a term of years in the purifying fires of thepenitential plains with the promise that after that sentence has been served he can go back to earthwith a chance to do one good deed there.

Nicanor Zabaleta, Harpist, Acclaimed 'Rarity' by Time' This week's Artist and Lecture series bringNicanor Zabaleta, to Western Washington on Friday, February 12, at 10 a. m. Acclaimed as one of thebest contemporary harpists, Zabaleta has performed with such famous orchestras as the New YorkPhilharmonic Symphony, the Philadelphia Symphony orchestra, and the Philharmonic orchestras"of Madrid and Mexico. Many well known composers of Europe and America have written specialworks for him. Zabaleta began his musical career at the age of seven in his birth place, San Sebastian,Spain. His first public appearance was at the age of nine. After finishing his studies, he then went • to Paris to perfect himself, and has since then given recitals in Madrid, Paris, New York, Washington,PhiladelpRia, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, arid other cities. Time magazine (Dec. 14, 1953)' says ofthe composer "Zabaleta is a rarity in the field of harpists, he Students Urged to Attend Board Meetings,View Procedures By BOB DUNLAP Campus politics and college politics. That is the main object in theforeground of the college scene this week. Have you ever been to a Board of Control meeting? Now, I'mnot saying you should, but, if you really want to get an insight into the reasons why there is a turnout ofless than half of the student voters at -•ASB elections, you should go. I went last Wednesday. I sawour "representative" government in action. It, most of the time, resembled a blind man in a dark roomseeking a light switch. They didn't appear to know in which direction to move, what they were doing, orwhy. Some exceptions to the fumbling procedures were shown by those few members of the, BOC whodisplay the intelligence to learn legislative procedures and the goal of these procedures. They wereall but submerged by the mental slowness or indifference of some of the other board members. See itfor yourself. Believe me, it's worth the effort. An example: Brought" up during the meeting, although Idon't think it was officially on the agenda, was the question, "Should the Board help school spirit bygiving student funds to the Pep committee for a campaign they (the Pep committee) had in mind?"There is the question. The definite plans were not known. There was no representative of the Pepcommittee present. What was to be done and how it was to be accomplished, or how much it was tocost was completely unknown. What would you do in a situation like that? I'd say, bring in theinformation and we'd act on it. OK. Say we don't do this but instead say that we have $162.00 in another fund that isn't being utilized. Why not give the Pep committee this money? That's the motion thatwas made by one of our "representatives." Give them the money. Don't know where, how, or for what it'sbeing spent. But give them the money because school spirit is a good thing and we need more of it atWestern. The? rJseudo-logical reasoning behind some of this was that the money wasn't being usedin the other fund so we might as well spend it. A wonderful conception of economy to be sure. The onlycatch is that the money involved belongs to the students— yours, mine—money that would bedisbursed with no control as to its end. (Continued on Page 3) The offices of president and vicepresident are now open on the Board of Control. Two vacancies for BOC representative are a l so open.Filing is open up until 4 p. m. today.

Our editorial of a few weeks back gave you a few reasons why we think the name shouldbe changed. We indicated as one reason: there are quite a few college newspapers in the U. S. with thesame name. Moreover, there is one in Portland, Oregon, as well as two in Washington (besidesWestern's Collegian) one of which is the Walla WaI fa Collegian, a newspaper with not only the samename, but the same initials. We also believe that the name of a college newspaper should be descriptiveand meaningful; in our opinion "Cojlegian" describes nothing except the fact that this institution is acollege; it has no meaning except that Western's students in the '30's were extremely proud of the factthat their Normal school was raised to the status of a college. This last seems a good reason forchanging the name; but after nearly twenty years we believe it is time for another change. The Collegiansolicits your ideas on this subject. We are anxious to get the students' reactions. The College Scene....By BOB riUNLAP Talked to about thirty people that want a lunchoom in the main building. This matterhad been presented to the BOC some time ago. And typically there has been no decision. Meanwhile,these people eat their home-packed lunches in crowded and uncongenial atmosphere. This group, as any group, has a right to prompt action on requests presented to our BOC. Why hasn't there been any result? It wasn't even on the agenda of business at last Wednes-*— day's BOC meeting. Some of the girls atEdens have been heard complaining that there is a big stag line at the "Mixers." Too big. The last time Iwas at a mixer I thought someone was giving a campaign speech early. Most of the people werestanding around the area looking as nonchalant as possible. A legitimate complaint that can beanswered only by action. This is your cue MRH, Mathes, Daniels Hall, and all the other men'sresidences. Action is needed! Can you produce? What with mid-terms and all I didn't get over to thelibrary to talk to any of the little people there— the student assistants. I promise, I promise. If I don'tmake it next week may I be a member of the BOC. This is worse than Siberia? Speaking of mid-terms.Wasn't it sheer agony? Think how, you have to go through that twelve times before that BA is in hand.This is, truly, the price of education. Ah Loungeology! The mostest course at WWC. The cool greenest.Strictly chlorophyll. TV, tables, and Hazel. Completely equipped for education of the masses. Thelounge— biggest and most efficient of the WWCollegian's competitors. Food, news, and the juke box.Juke box! That's good? WWCollegian Page 2 Friday, February 5, 1954 fkestie Chat I would like to saya few words about the students I have appointed to the Artist and Lecture committee for this year. Asyou know, they will have a large responsibility in determining what kinds of entertainment will bepresented on the future A-L series programs. The committee consists of fourteen members this year.Seven, faculty and seven students. It is the wish of the students on the committee to have programsthat will be desirable and educational to the majority of the student body. If you have been displeasedwith the Artist and Lecture Series in the past, the committee would like to hear your positivesuggestions for improvement. The committee was not chosen on the basis of their curricular major or. minor but rather according to the way I felt they would represent you, the students, in the formulating ofthe A. and L. series. I am confident that each of the student representatives on the committee willdo everything they possibly can to make next year's Artist and Lecture Series the best. Now a wordabout elections. There has been filing all this week for ASB president, vice president and two BOCpositions. I am expecting a very competitive election and I hope you will carefully consider eachcandidate as we approach the time for elections. The primary election will take place during the seventhweek and the general election during the ninth week. Consult your Navigator for more information.HENRY HOWE, ASB President. Enthusiastic 'Scholar' Crams foriMid-Terms By WIL KNUTSENBursting with enthuisasm, I began to enter the library reading room to study for midTquarters. I burstright back. Someone twice my size was coming out. But finally I entered. I looked around to size up thesituation before beginning my cramming. For the first time in the quarter, I felt like working. Over in acorner two students were talking in low tones. One was telling jokes in French. The only French I knowis "oui" and "bikini." Howeyer, I got quite a charge out of the jokes, relying on my experience inreading lips. They were talking about t he statistical nature of the curve. "Statistics," one said, "are like a Bikini bathing suit. They show a lot without revealing anything essential." I got a bang out of that one. As you know, Bikini is an atoll (French for "hotel") near Paris. ^ Realizing that I had work to do, Iretreated to a relative quiet part of the room. I began retreating that is. I bumped right into a studentwho was reaching for a book on the shelf. To my surprise, he didn't budge. I questioned a nearby co-ed|| (that's a pretty scarce article lately), about him. "Oh," she said, "he's been there since Tuesdaymorning. He was trying to lift a political science book from the shelf and got a cramp." A tear rolleddown her cheek. "If the PE department's messenger doesn't get here with the liniment, he'll miss hisexams." "What!" I exclaimed. "You mean he hasn't arrived yet?" "No. He started over Tuesday noon but decided to stop for a cup WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Since 1899 Member IntercollegiatePress Entered as second class matter at the post office at Bellinghara by virtue of the act of March 8,1879 Printed by Cox Brothers, Inc., Bellingham, Wash.

I gazed poetically' at the starry pight, but my reverie was interruptedby a quiet sniffle. I turned and saw a first quarter freshman gal. I can't get anything done," she admitted.Her eyes rolled. The moon dropped behind a poplar tree, and I knew it was night. "Don't feel bad," Iconsoled. "We all run into these little snags." She sidled up to me and gratitude brightened her tear-dimmed eyes. I gave her an understanding pat on the back. She smiled approvingly. Then to myamazement she put her arms around me. Twice. I was speechless, petrified, thunderstruck andsurprised. Finally I found myself. "My," I said admiringly, "you certainly have long arms." She gave me a severe look, and I realized that I had made a faux pas. Unlike a rabbit paw, that doesn't mean goodluck.. I wasn't feeling too great either by now, and misery loves company. "Let's go over to the fountain.Treat is on me tonight. Well live it up." I turned to her and looked her squarely in the eye.

The Pep committee approached theBoard this week with an idea to increase attendance at home games on Saturday night. MUST BRIBEFOR SUPPORT This idea was to have the Pep committee sponsor a mixer on Saturday night after thegame. This, when you come down to bare facts, is out and out bribery of the student body. It is true thatat the present moment the team has hit a slump. Time and time again in home games the Vikings haveleft the floor in the lead at the half only to return and lose the game. It is my belief that the wilting of theteam is due in part to the lackadaisical interest taken in the team when they play on their home, court.Where are they going to get support if not at home? The Pep committee asked the Board for funds tosponsor these mixers. The Board exploded. This request for funds "in the dark" met with objection. TheBoard has grown tired of handing out funds for functions about which they konw little or nothing. What Ishould have said is that a minority has grown sick of this free-spending. This minority, fortunately wasable to stop the Board from blindly granting funds to the Pep committee. The Board does not object tothe idea presented by the committee. If the student body must be bribed into support of the home teamthen they must be bribed. The objection comes when the Board must grant funds without knowing theplans for the money granted. Funds were given to the FTA, and the Sophomore and Frosh classesalmost in this way this week. They laid their plans, came to the Board for the money knowing that theonly way they could meet expenses would be through a grant by the Board. The fault does not restentirely with the persons or organizations requesting money. The habit of granting funds almost without question shares the responsibility for present practices. This has to stop. Clubs should make planswithin their own ken and then if they need help from the student body they should come to the Board.However, the Board should grant no funds until they know why the extra help is needed and to what usethe money, if granted, will be put. The Board should cease to be a "rich uncle" who is an "easy touch/Rather the Board should: become a "friend in need." Reports Say Mr. Groundhog Saw Shadow TuesdayBy MARION BALDWIN As usual Tuesday was Ground Hog Day. Why as usual? Well, it was thesecond of February. It is on that day that the ground hog is supposed to come out of his hole and take a look around. If he sees his shadow he will once more retire, and winter will take another long blast onthe local populace, for six weeks. According to all reports Mr. Ground Hog saw his shadow on Tuesday. But for this belief to be valid he had to see his shadow before noon. How could he? Why, no onecould see his hand in front of his face, let alone his shadow, in that pea soup which covered Se-homeTuesday morning. If what we have been having is winter, then all I ask is that you just leave mecomfortable and serene in my belief that the Ground Hog didn't see his shadow before noon. You see,that way I can relax and not have to pull out the fur-lined coat again. I want spring and summer. Hecouldn't have seen his shadow in the fog! He couldn't . .

Frederick Peters,Artist and Lecture series guest, Tuesday, February 2. Students and visitors at the 10 a. m. lecture werereminded of the 1953 April revolt in East Germany. Dr. Peters remarked that if the V. S. had been readyit could have moved in and "kept order" thus uniting Germany. Affairs in East Germany at that 24 hourperiod ivere so confused that the Russians wouldn't have had a chance to re-aliate effectively. Dr. Peters feels that since the Jnited States has not definite foreign policy, we didn't know how nuch to risk. Healso feels that because our policy is so inconsistent, he.major portion of the Europeans ire confused.The speaker, a graduate of the Jniversity of Munich, has kept in (lose contact with German thought nboth sides of the Iron Curtain hrough the work of the American institute.

Their involvement is incidental to the issue. Theprecedent must not be established for giving money to campus groups without projected p^ans forspending of those moneys. One solution is this. It's simple. Take the money from the fund where it isnot being utilized and create a new fund. Call it the "Pep Fund" or the anything you like. Let thedistribution of the money in this "Pep Fund" be distributed by the BOC as the Pep Committeepresents the need. Simple? Yes indeed, but the BOC was unable to arrive at so simple a solution.After 20 to 30 minutes of haggling the original motion was defeated. The intelligent members hadprevailed. But the issue was continued until the next meeting. They may yet get the lump sum!Fortunate indeed, too, that the BOC isn't getting paid by the hour. That's just an example of the waytime is wasted in BOC over trivial matters. There can be nd wonder that people have little interest instudent government. The inefficiency of the group as a whole aqd the timidity of some of i ts membersindividually would make any intelligent person throw up his hands in utter disgust. This isrepresentative government? Somebody has surely pulled the wool over the eyes of the voters in thepast. In closing I say. Go down there. Watch "your representatives" in action. Watch the 30% that say nothing on anything during the meeting; that have no opinion or at best only a question or two. Look at the "Seconders!" They have only one function and that is saying, "I second the motion" and "Aye."Look also for the "parrots," the people that put the suggestions of the president into motion form. Anddon't forget to count the people. There should be 15 there, 10 BOC representatives and three facultymembers plus the president and vice president of the Associated Student body. There will be 16 if thesecretary is there. Count the empty chairs. See who is keeping h is promise to you, to represent you.I say to you that it will prove interesting. Try it next Wednesday.

The team is playing good ball and it's been said that if the league werelimited to players six feet and under we'd be unbeatable. * — Promoter Marion Bogdanovich stole theshow in the smoker tag match last Saturday night. When "Bogie" got in the ring his gloves were movinglike pistons until he got a replacement.

NO HEIGHT IN SIGHT The Junior Varsity has lots ofpromise but there's still no signs of height. Until Western starts enrolling some of those guys who have to duck under the doors to get in, the basketball scene is going to remain dim. VIKINGS CAN WINThis week-ends series should be close. Seattle Pacific went into five overtimes with St. Martin's earlierthis year. Those overtimes by the way tied a national record. PLC will be tough but if the Viks play theway they did against Whitworth they could pull an upset. Don't forget to go to the games and if you canbring a friend.

Friday evening they will entertain the Seattle Pacific Falcons and on the followingnight they will play host to the Gladiators from Pacific' Lutheran college in a conference match.Friday's encounter with the Falcons will be the first meeting of the two clubs this year and the outcome of this game will probably not be as important to the Vikings as the game with PLC as it is not aconference game. However, they will be out to clip the Falcons wings if things go as planned. A winover Seattle Pacific would be a feather in the Viks hats as the Falcons have a fairly impressive record so far this season. FALCONS EXPERIENCED With practically the same squad back from last year theFalcons have given some of the Evergreen conference schools a rough shuffle. Just recently they lost toEastern by one point on the Savages' floor. In a game with St. Martins this year the Falcons were edgedout by one point only after five overtimes, which ties the national record for the number of overtimes in asingle ball game. Seattle Pacific has lost several other close games this season but they have provento their opponents that they are capable of playing top flight ball. Saturday night's game with PLCshould be a thriller as the Viks will be primed for this match. In their last meeting the Vikings led through most of the game only to see their lead slip away as the Lutes forged ahead to win. The Lutefish eatersare now holding down the fourth place spot and a loss to Western would knock them out of the upperbracket so they are not about to be over confident. Coach Marv Harsh-man inherited the nucleus of thisyear's team from last year's squad, which consists of some big tall boys who are capable of scoring fromall parts of the floor. Top scorers for PLC so far this year have been Ross and Lund who both stand over6-3. — O- : "Everything the businessman does today must be weighed in the balance of competitiveconditions."— Kenneth R.

The Tigers, who occupy the league basement, played one game only and managed tolose that one to the Glutchers 30-26. On January 27 Marquis won the game of the month by beatingDaniels Hall 47-36. Card and Halleck led the winners with 16 and 14 points, respectively. For thelosers Fortheringham and Olson were high with 12 and 11 points, respectively. This was perhaps one ofthe roughest games of the season and tempers were at the boiling point at different stages of thegame. Last Friday the Gym Rats were the victims of the league leaders and the score this time was 63-35. Once again the high man for Marquis was Jim Gard; he scored 17 points. Dick Hubber aided thecause with 15 points. Last Friday Daniels Hall eased by the Alpiners 35-30. High for the winners wascolorful Dick Jelinek with 14 points and for the losers Holmlund had 13.

Eastern coasted along with a slimlead through most of the game but in the final quarter they began pumping in the points from all partsof the floor to win in a final flurry of baskets. Big guns in the Savage attack were Enos with fifteenpoints, Edwards and Ellis with fourteen apiece, respectively. The Viking squad was led by BobPetrosik with ten and Bob Stone with nine. The first half ended with Eastern holding a five pointadvantage 31-26 but the third period, was all Western's. The Vikings suddenly caught fire, andchallenged Eastern's leadership as they knotted it up 46-all. Not to be outdone the Savages cameback in the final stanza to hold the Viks to nine points and score 24 before the gun stopped their scoring spree. score was 39-35 for the Steam Rollers over the slumping Flying Canucks. The Alpiners' twovictories were recorded over the Flying Canucks. January 28 the score was 40-20. Lynden was high man for the winners with 14 points. Last Tuesday the score was 53-22 and Holmlund was high man for thewinners this time with 18 points. In the only other league A game played last week not mentioned wasthe first victory of the Gym Rats. Their victims were those poor old Flying Canucks. The score was 45-44. It was a heart breaker for the Canucks to lose, but then on the other hand last quarter's league Achampions were desperate for a win. Bowsher scored 20 points for the winners and Scotty Burgessdumped in 18 points for the losers. In league B, MRH established themselves back at the top of theleague. They picked up two victories last week. On January 28 they beat Larson's Farces 50-22. High forthe winners was Evans with 17 points and high for the losers was one Bob Casto with 10. The othervictory was over their closest competitor, Huntoon, and the score was a little closer this tune, 35-30.Scoring in this game was well divided for both teams. Huntoon ran up a huge score against the Hospice I team last Friday. The final score was 77-30. High for the winners was Nehar with 29 points and forthe losers Gunderson was high man with 16 points.

The second quarter saw Whitworth add one point to their lead as the teams played on practically even terms with the halftime score 29-20. The second half was the scene of a lot of action as the Pirate's Beach twins beganhitting the bucket with surprising regularity and because of their efforts Whitworth enjoyed theirbiggest lead 48-28 at the end of the third quarter. Western narrowed the lead somewhat in the lastminutes of the game due to the appearance of Garry Radliff, who arose from the bench and took highpoint honors for the night with his timely 15 points.

It is Friday afternoon. I am sitting in thelounge, reading my Collegian. I turn to page two—well, well, a letter to the editor. As I begin reading it a smile plays across my face, for I learn that I am one ".. . . of a hardy group (who) braved the elements"a few days previously. And I rank in this group by virtue of attending the A L program on India. I readon, What's this? "A stab at the pocket book?" And I soon discover that all this big buildup was merelyleading up to a tirade against the collection of WUS funds at that program. On -what basis? Mainly, thatthe collection was ill-timed, and inappropriate for that particular evening. The students, the lettersays, ielfc. the "stab," and supposedly many community toes were trod upon. But what about theletter? Will it restore any ill-will that presumably was aroused? Very unlikely. Will it help the WUSdrive? No Wnat, then, will result from the letter? It could hamper the WUS drive. Why write a letter if that is the case? Why not a clear and concise discussion with those involved in the drive? Or, if we mustwrite letters on the subject, why not wait until the WUS drive is over? The-collection was perhaps ill-timed! but I feel = that the letter was even more poorly timed. Why hazard the loss of potential WUSsupporters at the peak of their drive for funds? Mr.-Kazen said the program on India was "wonderful." Jagree. I agree because I believe it well portrayed, the India of today—the land of the very rich and thedisease ridden, superstitious, famine-struck poor. It portrays the India whose improvement depends upon the very type of plan supported and implemented by WUS. So it is Friday afternoon, and I read myCollegian in the comfort of the student lounge. I; who saw a beggar, fly-covered and discolored, on thestreets of India, wonder about those who were so -disturb-iejdiby a ''stab in the pocketbook."

Harvey Thacker had hisbattery freeze and ran out of" gas. Tom Lehning got his fender-scraped, but Frank Lariza had his carparked out in front of the house and got hit twice in fifteen minutes., Can you top that? Bob Carey andsome of the boys have been walking around with a big smiles on their faces. I wish they would,tell uswhat's cooking? IN THE still of the night—high above a sleeping American city—an unidentified aircraftis spotted. In a matter of seconds a lightning-like jet interceptor takes to the air. Unerringly, with anAircraft Observer showing the way, the Air Force F-94 Night Fighter speeds to intercept the stranger. The Aircraft Observer is the man behind the pilot —the officer who keeps America's planes flying on courseand on target. Without him the Air Force couldn't do its job. What is the Aircraft Observer? He's a RadarOfficer . . . employing an all seeing eye that penetrates where human sight fails. He's an AircraftPerformance Engineer O f f i c e r . . . knowing everything there is to know about his plane . . . keeping it fit for the skies and ready for action. He's a Navigation Officer . . . plotting his plane's course . . . withan entire crew depending on him for a safe flight. He's a Bombardment O f f i c e r . . . in full control of theplane over the target a r e a . . . the Air Force Officer who "lowers the boom" on the enemy. What theAircraft Observer gets He earns over $5,000 a year. His silver Aircraft Observer wings give him prestigeand distinction, and he wears the bars of an Air Force Lieutenant. They mark him as the eyes, ears, andbrains of America's Number One flying team. What it takes to be an Airctaft Observer The AircraftObserver must be sound of limb, keen of mind, and above all, must have the determination to be the best. To qualify as an Aircraft Observer you must be single, between 19 and 26Vi years old, and a high schoolgraduate. However, it will be better for you and the Air Force if you stay in college and graduate beforeyou apply. Then you, too, can be one of the b e s t . . . as an Aircraft Observer.

The BOCappropriated Polio Prevention Aim Of '54 March - Dimes By ROGER GROVDAHL Polio prevention is the big aim as the 1954 March of Dimes campaign gets underway. This fourth front against the dreadeddisease, is made possible by donations. Scientists are now on the threshold of solving the mysterywhich has so long shrouded infantile paralysis. In 16 short years, the March of Dimes research hasbroken through tremendous barriers that once stood in the way. The public's investment of $20,500,000in March of Dimes research has created new and potent weapons for the attack against polio. Almost 70 per cent of every dollar given is used to help the stricken. Direct financial aid been given 270,000patients. There are 3,100 chapters of National Foundation which spread over the country to has the are help patients meet every need. Until the polio attack can be checked, preparedness must be thewatchword on this costly front. Professional education, the third front against polio, concerns itself withtraining professional workers to carry on the fight. It induces capable men and women into the field byoffering scholarships and fellowships. It gives financial assistance to professional schools andorganizations. In fact, today's advance against polio is led by a scientist who studied under a March of Dimes fellowship.

Through donations and other fund raising campaigns, the foundation can promise that- the gamma globulin output for 1954 will be double that oflast year. The success of gamma globulin is shown in its effectiveness in combating polio in over twentyhard hit areas "Join The MARCH DIMES January 2 to 31 from Alaska to the Florida Keys. As this year ends, 66,000 polio patients are still receiving March of Dimes aid. The National Foundation is pledged to help them in the fight. Steps are being taken to make polio a disease of the past. Winter QuarterRegistrations Over 1200 Student registration passed the 1200 mark last Thursday, January 7,announced Donald Ferris, WWC registrar. The large winter enrollment was helped by nearly 80 enteringstudents. More than 50 former students returned for Winter term classes. Winter quarter enrollment was-only 1,101 last year, 1953. Total registration is expected to reach 1,240 by January 18. Theslight drop in registration as compared to the Fall quarter is normal, declared Ferris, and is due largely to graduation a n d other causes. Heart Disease Is Often Curable "Resolved, that I will be guided by facts about heart disease, rather than fears and' phobias," is the Washington State Heart associations New Years resolution for every citizen. "Nothing can be done about heart disease," is one of the mostcommon misconceptions about disease of the heart. This is contrary to fact says the association. Some forms of heart disease can be prevented, some cured, and almost all cases can be helped. Theassociation is directing attention to these fallacies as a prelude to the February Heart Fundcampaign. Another untrue fact is that most heart attacks are fatal. Many patients can still earn their living, often without changing jobs. This fact disproves the widely spread theory that you can't work ifyou have heart disease. "Although the association does not minimize the seriousness of heart disease,the outlook warrants hope and optimism," said Dr. Clement I. K'rantz, Seattle, president. "One chiefhope is that research, supported by the Heart Fund will control this disease." Noted Historian And Critic, Bernard De Voto, To Appear Bernard De Voto, distinguished literary historian and critic, will appearon the Artist and Lecture program on Tuesday, January 11, at 10 a. m. Mr. De Voto has masteredalmost all the literary ropes, Pulitzer prize winning historian, esayist, novelist, literary critic, creator oflight fiction and teacher of literature. His prodigious writings have brought Mr. De Voto a wide andBERNARD DE VOTO varied audience, segments of which often do not realize how broad is the scope of his literary output. He has written light fiction (under the son will' show a picture on China, pen name ofJohn August) and serious novels, important books on American literature, and social history,biographical and - critical studies and a great variety of mis-celaneous pieces that have appeared inperiodicals ranging from t h e journals of learned societies to humor magazines. { ;' Mr. De Voto hasbuilt up a iarge and faithful following for his monthly commentary on the American scene and character in the pages of Harper's magazine, probably the oldest continuous column of social comment in thecountry, "The Easy Chair," has appeared for over 100 years and Mr. De Voto is the fifth person toconduct it, following in the footsteps of such famous literary lights as William Dean Howell and George William Curtis.' Born in Utah, Mr. De Voto's books reflect his Western birth. He has published a trilogyon the growth of the West, "The Course of Empire," which won the National Book award, "The Year ofDecision: 1846" and "Across the Wide Missouri" winner of the 1948 Pulitzer prize for history. Mr. DeVoto is now working on still another historical work, an edition of the Lewis and Clark journals. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 January 15 - Page 2 ---------- Students Needed: BOC Position Open Four persons have applied for the open position on the Board ofControl. This seems to be a healthy sign for the beginning of a quarter-as important as is this one instudent government elections. In a little more than two weeks filing will begin for Western?? two higheststudent government offices, as well as for two BOC positions. Top executives in any organization mustbe chosen with care. For this reason, students should be presented with a sufficiently, large choice ofcandidates to enable them to choose wisely. Too many times students refrain from filing for a positionfrom a sense of modesty. If students want able leaders, it is up to them to convince capable personsthat they should file. A college should have no shortage of capable student leaders; a shortage of nameson a ballot points up only disinterest of the students as a whole. Western's Associated Student Bodyhas an astouding amount of self-government when compared with many other colleges; Western isgrowing every year. Therefore Western's students must take care that their officers are among themost capable students on campus. BOC Commended on Literary Decision ANOTHER STEP ON THEROAD TO PROGRESS! After ASB President Henry Howe started the 1953 Fall quarter by appointing astudent publicity director, the Board of Control wound up the quarter in the same spirit of progress byacquiring another phase of student publications: The Writer. The acceptance of The Writer into the fold ofstudent supported activities marks the culmination of a great deal of work by the Winter quarter editor,Mike O'Sammon. However, since The Writer is presently on a trial basis, Editor O'Sammon and his staffhave a tough job ahead of them, in putting out the first printed copy of the magazine, of sufficient quality to assure the Board of Control that creative writing is a worthwhile student activity. Popular SingersQuestion Today's Music Trends WWCollegian Page 2 Friday, January 15, 1954 ileside Cliat By MARYANN DEXTER "What Happened to the Music" is the query made by Teresa Brewer and Don Cornell onone of then-recent discs. The two-some brings up a very good question: what has happened to themusic? In recent years the radio programs which featured "live" bands entertaining at night clubs orhotels have almost entirely died out. In their place we find the old faithful disc-jockey show. The modernrecord spinner seems to have forgotten that What happened to Patti Page? we still enjoy the smoothsophisticated rhythm of a few years back. SMOOTHIES BACK Down Beat readers, when choosingtheir favorites for '53, indicated that the trend is going back toward smoother music. In the dance bandcategory the public voted for the Les Brown crew. This band, a rocking unit with a good dance beat,features arrangements that put sound before noise, and the beat above the effect. When you hear aLes Brown recording you can distinguish the melody. Unfortunately, this cannot be said of all the popular dance bands. Vocalists Ella Fitzgerald arid Nat Cole snatched the number one places this year. Whathappened to Joni James, Patti Page, and Kay Starr? Unexpectedly, the Four Freshmen, who havemade very few. *fht cordings, came out of nowhere to take over the number one; vocal group spot. TheMills Brothers were last year's winners. Top jazz band, as picked by Down Beat readers, was StanKenton, who piled a 1,000 vote lead over the nearest runner-up. Guess that Ken-ton- man is really solid. Have you noticed that Ava's husband, Prankie, has been turning out some really good records? Take"South of the Border" for instance. It's really selling, and with Billy May backing Prankie up the record isnothing hut great. , After "Vaya Con Dios" you'd think Les Paul and Mary Ford's papularity would dropoff—but uh, uh, the duo is back up there with "Kangaroo," "Don't Cha Hear Them Bells" and their latest"Jungle Bells." Speaking of bells, seems like the Bell Sisters haven't made any recordings lately.Betty Hutton has waxed a cute one called "Broke, Barefoot, and Starry Eyed." Eartha Kitt has out adisc entitled "I Want To Be Evil"—hmmm, she's not the only one!

This is the " I ' Am RepulsiveClub." At a solemn gathering one evening last week a group of the boys were whooping it up at theLounge —killing time until Liberace came on—and they, feeling that they had a great deal in common,decided to form an organization dedicated to the preservation . . .??? Just what it was dedicated to, Ican't remember now. Must have been something. Oh well, requirements for membership are that apotential member secure the proper response consistently when asking girls for dates. That responsebeing a heartfelt, "UGH" on her part. GALS ADMITTED TOO At a later meeting the unwrittenconstitution was amended to admit girls who could submit the same qualifications. Only in their case itwas thought best that they should confine their date seeking activities to boys. This seemed like the best arrangement and there are many precedents in our culture for it. At the charter meeting an election of officers was held. For obvious reasons their names will not be reported here. Maybe we MIGHT get adate some day. Also, since there are no dues and no regular meetings there is no representative to theInter-Club council. In fact, the "I Am Repulsive Club" is sort of an honorary society. Potential membersare invited to join. Drop in at one of the irregular meetings at the lounge. You can tel when the club ismeeting because there will be a more than norma: collection of repulsive people there -So, steer yourself toward the nearest group of goops; announce loudlj for all to hear, "I AM REPULSIVE" and sit down,boy—you have founc a home. o When he took her hand in marriage He made a basic blunder Byletting her retain a thumb Which now she keeps him under The College Scene.. .. By BOB DUNLAP Itwould seem that all the petty controversies so prevalent last fall have drifted to earth with the fallingleaves. In any event, they are conspicuous, these first two weeks of the winter quarter, only by then-absence. A good deal, too, I'd say. Why, now that the hatchet is buried I saw a music major and a PEma-por drinking coffee together in the lounge. * * * TV BACK Noticed that the TV was working again.Now Liberace can be seen by all. For a while we were caught in the middle. KVOS, which operates theTV cable, claimed that the set was bad and the TV repairman claimed that the cable was bad. What doyou do in a situation like that? Anyway it was the set and it's all fixed now. Now, it seems to me, thatwith all the money that the PE department has alloted for their activities they could buy a couple of setsof new swim-fins for the mixed rec. The old ones are "kaput" and have been for sometime. * * * If youpark a car on the campus have you noticed the boo-boo that was pulled: during registration Everybodyhad their old license numbers then. Now that the new plates are coming out there is no way for tellingwho the parking violators are—Mother than a "stake-out," that is. No doubt, something will be done.• * * * I heard a rumor that the 1954 KLIPSUN is going to be bigger and better^ than Over. * * *Then, too, there is the resurrection .

Bonnie Hudson, WWC Senior Accident Victim By JIMSIMON "My first thought was to make myself as small as posisble so the wheels woudn't hit me if theywent over me," said Bonnie Hudson. She was not her usual bright, vivacious self as she sat down. Herbright green-hazel eyes were strained and dulled with shock. "It happened Friday night, at 11:05,according to police reports. We had just come from the show and were crossing Holly toward the Stardrug store." Bonnie was wearing a light grey coat, with white buttons and a white hat. She should havebeen visible to the driver. "I thought he had seen me and was slowing down to let us cross. My escortwas a step or two behind me and he tried to pull me out of danger." The coupe hit her sideways andthrew her parallel with the yellow line on Holly street. She lost her left shoe, and hat. Miraculously herglasses remained in place. "Now I know what they mean when they say 'the pavement rushed up atme'," Bonnie said ruefully. She had broken her fall with her hands. This fact probably saved her injuriesother than the skinned knee, bruises and shock she sustained. The young driver of the car put her into his car and took her to St. Joseph's hospital. "The funny thing was he told me he had just completed aFirst Aid course. He must have forgotten all he learned in the excitement." Still under the influence ofshock Bonnie was tiring rapidly. Her face was pale and drawn, white against the darkness of her hair.With a trace of her old self she remarked, "I hope this accident breaks the jinx. I had better break thejinx before it breaks me."

WHITS STILL TALL * :— : — Tonight the Viks meet a team with a surplus of human skyscrapers, the Whitworth Pirates.Last year you may have seen the nation's highest team (physically) when they played here. Whitworth still maintains the Evergreen conference's tallest timber with t wo sophomores Who stand six foot ten and six foot seven inches tall, and a junior who stands six foot nine. Western fans, don't head for thewailing wall already. Many teams have come into that same Western gym with impressive records onlyto leave wishing they'd never come, and the basketballers will try to make it that kind of night tonight.•• Tomorrow night's scramble should be close and Eastern may make the trip back to Cheney withcensored thoughts. PREDICTIONS , UBC over Eastern, Central over PLC, Whitworth over Western,Whitworth over UBC, and Western over Eastern. After tomorrow night's game with UBC, Whitworthtravels to Hawaii for a two game stand. This would indicate that the athletic kitty is full. 'Whirlwind1Featured Boxer For W Club "Whirlwind" Willis Ball will be one of the featured boxers in the coming "W"club smoker to be held January 30 at 8 p. m. in the college gym. According, to Matchmaker MarionBogdonovitch, "Whirlwind" will be just one of the pugilistic performers to step into the ring on January30. (How many will step out of the ring is now the subject of some controversy in athletic circles.) Asyet no definite card has been drawn up. Tickets costing 50 cents will' be on sale soon at Easy Ed's andHenry's Gym. The proceeds from this annual event will bolster the nearly defunct W club treasury andfinance the construction of a Viking ship for use at Battersby field. Naturally the money securedfrom the sale of tickets will more than take care of these two projects, but the "W" club smokermembers urge you to support these two civic drives.

Tonight's contest ,will be the roughest. The Pirates from Whitworth are almost astall as last year, and earlier this season defeated Washington State College's Cougars. Last week theydumped PLC 71-46. Eastern does not have Whit-worth's potentiality but has done very well in pre-season ball games. The experience laden Savages rose to defeat Seattle Pacific last week 85-84 inovertime. McDonald was optimistic and said, "Naturally we're underdogs but if we play as well as we can and Whitworth isn't up to par you never can tell." The big coach added, "Tomorrow night's gameshould be a good one and the chances of dumping Eastern are good." The season's top caliber ball willlarge crowds are expected both nights. Ski Classes Have More Instructors Winter quarter skiingclasses have increased enrollment over that of last year. Sixty-three students are enrolled at the present time. The beginners class has 15 men and 13 women. Fifteen men and 10 women are in theintermediate' class and in the advanced skiing class are four men and six women. Last year 50 students completed the ten Saturday lessons. , Full time instructors teaching a class in the morning and one!in the afternoon are Dr. Louise Roloff, women's PE gt; and Greg Newton of Bellingham. Part timeinstructors are Mrs. Don MacPhail, Pat Gibson, junior, and Norman Blom, sophomore. Two collegebusses leave the PE building-at 7:15 a. m. on Saturdays for the Mount Baker ski area and leave the skiarea at 4 p. m. The increased teaching staff makes it possible to keep the classes small and mostof the classes'have 10 students. The new National Ski Patrol insurance plan for $5 a year has $250coverage for accidents incurred while skiing in an area where there is a National Ski patrolman. For those interested in this - insurance plan, Dr. Roloff has application blanks. SPORTS SECTION DiminutiveSize No Drawback By ROGER GROVDAHL Size in sports is constantly discussed by thegrandstand quarterbacks, would-be baseball managers, and second guessing basketball followers.The question always arises whether the good little man is as good as the average big man. Thisquestion of Davids vs. Go-liaths will be brought into local view Friday night in our own gymnasium.Western's small team comes face to face with the giants from Whitworth, who boast at least three menover 6 ft. 6 in. Contrast these giants with the Vik stars of last year. Little Jack Anderson, Western's all-conference guard, stood barely 5 ft. 9 in. Two more classic examples of short men holding their own in Northwest basketball are the O'Brien twins, last year of Seattle be played over the weekend,andl»University.The 5 ft. 9 in. stars went on to play the keystone positions for the Pittsburgh Pirates.Other sports have classic examples of small men more than holding their own against»the giant incertain fields. Bobby Shantz, proclaim^ ed by several sources the outstanding athlete of a year orso back, stands barely 5 feet 6 inches and weighs little over 140 pounds. Shantz won 23 and lost onlyseven for the Athletes that year. Ben Hogan provides the example in golf, coming back after a terribleaccident to become one of America's greatest golfers.

At Central the Vikingsjumped into an early lead by virtue of some timely field goals by Bob Stone and Earl Sande, and held a15-11 lead at the end of the first stanza. This lead was short lived as the Loggers poured on the coal toforge ahead 32-23 at the half-way mark. In the •third quarter Central increased the margin to 21 points but the Vikings managed to whittle it down to ten points before the final gun. In the fracas with theLoggers the Vikings couldn't seem to get their offense rolling, as the game was ten minutes old beforethey got their first field goal. The first quarter ended with Western trailing 21-6. In the second period theViks were still in the doldrums with only two more buckets to their credit while CPS had run their lead to 38-19 by half time. The second half saw Coach McDonald's machine out-shoot and out-score theLoggers in both the third and fourth quarters, and at the five minute mark the locals were only six pointsdown, but in the remaining few minutes the Loggers pulled away to win by nine points.

Tender, Delicious, Perfect Steaks 'Declining A r t ' By MILLIE WALBATH "Make it tender!" pleads the Customer of the modernsteakhouse or cafe. But, as John Doe spoons his soup and sips his coffee, he knows that its highlyunlikely that he will get a "really good" steak. Wistfully, he recalls what grandpappy had to say about the "good old days." The way grandpappy told it, when one ate in a "Tombstone" cafe, the 1 lb. steak wasthe ladies' dish. "The chunk of. beef came fresh from the steer," he asserted, "and it was always servedon a heated platter." Those days, one could have "real butter" floating on top, plus the "intangiblesomething" that a rub of garlic lends to all cuts of beef. "Steaks were 3 inches thick, witl* fewdecorations," grandpappy had continued. "If one wanted greenery, it was garden fresh watercress,endive, or parsley. "But," grandpappy had said, "I wasn't much for rabbit food." John leaned back in therestaurant chair. He mused, "There's an art to cooking the perfect steak. One could start with the kind of grass the steer eats, with the chilling and curing process, or whether the animal is a steer or acow. Take the ordinary cut of Western steer. It can and will turn out beautifully with a "melt in yourmouth" flavor, If the cook knows what he is doing. Calmly, the cold platter with the shrivelled, greasy,thin steak (?) is set before John. He expostulates, "I see the rib, but where is the steak?" The waitresshas a quick comeback, "Impertinent remarks will get you into trouble." Floating on the steak is a pool ofhardening lard.

At seme time or another when you've bought gasoline you have probablywondered how much less a gallon would cost if our profit were taken out of the price. Actually if theUnion Oil Company made no profit on any of its products, the price of "76" or "7600" gasoline would bereduced by a little more than one penny per gallon. With this "penny-plus" we have to meet today'sinflated cost of finding and developing new oil reserves. With it we also have to pay the additionalamounts necessary to replace worn-out equipment such as pipe lines, refineries and trucks.Furthermore, out of this fraction more than a penny, we have to pay the 40,362 owners of the Union OilCompany. For without profit there would be no incentive for these men and women to put up theirmoney to buy the tools so vital in increasing the productivity of our 8,756 employees. So, as you cansee, a penny is mighty important to us. As a symbol of the small profit we make per gallon of productsold it is far overshadowed by the 8% 4* tax per gallon the Federal and State governments collect fromboth of us. •Computed on basis of gasoline sold in California. This series, sponsored by the people ofUnion Oil Company, is dedicated to a discussion of how and why American business functions. We hope you'll feel free to send in any suggestions or criticisms you have to offer. Write: The President, UnionOil Company, Union Oil Bldg., Los Angeles 17, California.

HELPS FOREIGN SCHOOLS World's UniversityService fund, a nation wide organization, concerns itself with raising money to rehabilitate foreignuniversities. The war left many foreign institutions without books, laboratory supplies, and amplematerials needed for education. WUS is attempting to help the foreigners' rehabilitation program withmoney and supplies collected in the United States. It is through contributions from institutions likeWestern that the goals of this organization are realized. For the past few weeks everyone has beenconscious of the drive, sponsored here by the USCF. Through posters, pamphlets and world newsstudents should realize the need. The world situation is well known.

Fellowships For PhysicsMajors Graduate fellowships in radiological physics are being offered by the Atomic EnergyCommission for the 1954-55 school year. College seniors majoring in chemistry, physics, orengineering are eligible to apply. Radiological physics is a new and expanding field of science. It isconcerned with the use of radioisotopes or the release of nuclear energy. Radiation monitoring andcontrol, radioisotope measurement, and health physics are'some of the specific activities associated with radiological physics. The fellowship entails nine months of course work at one of three universities.Three months of additional study and field training at the cooperating AEC installations follows theuniversity study. ^One of the programs is operated at the University of Washington and the HanfordWorks of the AEC, another by the University of Rochester and Brookhaven National laboratory and the third by Vanderbilt University and the Oak Ridge National laboratory. As many as 75 fellowships may be awarded. The basic award for fellows is $1600 per year, with an allowance of $350 if married and$350 for each dependent child. University tuition and required fees will be paid by the Oak RidgeInstitute of Nuclear Studies, which administers the program for the AEC. The program is accreditedfor graduate level training leading toward an advanced degree. Additional information concerning the program may be obtained by writing the University Relations Division of the Oak Ridge Institute ofNuclear Studies, P. O.

A distinguished manwas orr campus,this week. He.spoke on a rather controversial, subject. He did riot ask thfs \que)stiqi\ but what he did say should make us ask ourselves, "Just what do I really know about the subjects treated intoday's current events?" Many people, too many people, take a term, attach to it a vague definition heardor read somewhere, file it away, and consider themselves well versed on the subject. The fallacy of this train of thought should be only too obvious. Most Americans will agree that our country's worst enemytoday is Communism, and that it should be fought most vigorously. Yet, how many Americans can give aclear cut, faintly accurate definition of Communism? Of Socialism? : Of McCarthyism? Who will notagree that to combat something effectively, one must know just what he is combating? A scientist hasdifficulty combating a disease he knows nothing about; a genera! would be in a most precariousposition if he had no idea of the enemy's way of fighting and what equipment he used. Banning of reading materials or other forms of communication which could help instruct our people about the enemy whichthey fight is not only adolescent, but also handicaps the people in the fight. Those who have tried tocensor such things have been defeated time and again throughout the years of our young country.They may yet win if the people do not [nstruct themselves in what they must*know to pass intelligentjudgment on current events. Are Your Manners Showing 1 By BOB Minor Irritant No. 1: The character who cuts in the lunch line ahead of others. What ever his reason— logical or otherwise—he (or her)is a despicible' and inconsiderate person. Or at any rate, that is the opinion of the people that arebeing pushed back one step further 'from their dinner. What possible excuse can be advanced for such inconsiderate behavior? Standards are, "I have to see a man;" or (pointing to her friend who was in the line all the time) "She was holding a place for me while I put away my coat," or "We're going steady and want to be together," and many, many more in the same vein. Pictured with this story is the tag end ofthe noon-lunch line: Perhaps these poor folk were victims DUNLAP of the boorish line sneakers.Maybe they realized that the only way to avoid! becoming irritated at such clobber-headed halfwits isto wait until they have rushed their un- -thinking way through the line. Or perhaps they were just late.Really, at this point it must be very frustrating to the line crasher. There are only a few people he cancrowd ahead of. I think that line crashers gauge their success by the number of people -they irritate..So— with only a few people at the end of the line to irk, it must make life hardly worth living for theknuckle-headed boors. Ah well, maybe some one will start carrying an axe. One hearty blow betweenthe eyes will cure any lunch-line-crasher of bis irritating habit!

Iii the first place the property is yours as a member of theASB and you should make use of it. The ASB bought the property in the early l$ gt;20's. During thepast few years efforts have been put forth to make the facilities on the property desirable for students'use. At present there are a cabin and bathhouse on the property. The cabin was re-shlrigled during the Christ? mas vacation under the direction of Doug Kazen, Student Facilities chairman. This enterprisewas good in two respects. It got the roof shingled and provided badly needed work for severalstudents. If you need a little money and are willing to work on similar projects give your name to me orDoug Kazen. The problem of lunches and coffee in the main building has been solved. You now canget your coffee, and a bench for your comfort will be placed in the hall north of the Co-op. DonEastvoW, Attorney General, gave the deciding answer concerning compulsory ASB group insurance. The answer—NO! And so the matter has been tabled—but perhaps not indefinitely. - Would you as a student like to have a night set aside for seeing good, entertaining movies in the auditorium?

Five candidates filed for the position which is to; be for the remainder of Winter.quarter. After considerable impromptu campaign speaking for each candidate the Board choseDave Gay to fill the position. "He will try to form a coal . . . " I must remember this is not the Frenchgovernment. A report was given concerning the possibilty of showing movies in the auditorium for thestudent body. Investigation proved that it would be an impossibility for this quarter since the auditorium is booked solid, investigation for next quarter is in operation. N. B.: Doug Kazen reports progress on thecoffee situation in the main building. He was not available for comment concerning the report of lastweek. Students are reminded, that all Board meetings are open to the student body. The College Scene • • • • By DUNLAP Why can't we strike a h a p py medium in student entertainment atWWC? Granting that cultural events on the A L circuit are fine, and do contribute to our culturalgrowth, don't you think it's about time for the A L committee, or the administration, or whoeverselects student programs, to realize that there are many "pleb-ians" at Western. Desire for somethingother than a monotonous diet of sopranos and violinists prevails. Only then—after the wishes of themajority are considered—will attendance at the auditorium be no longer an insult to performers there." * * * SORRY! The PE department does not use student funds to buy swimming equipment asindicated in this column last week. The damaged equipment will be replaced soon says Mr. Sam Carverof Western's PE department. # * # Did you ever stop to think about the vast number of little people onthe campus that keep the wheels of education rolling? People, who— like you, are students. In fact, the odds are even up that you are one of them. Dean McDonald indicated that more than 50% of Western'sstudents are employed part-time to help pay expenses. More than 25% are employed on campus. Betty Fay is such a person. She is typical of the girls who operate the switchboard and disperse information in the President's office. Neat, attractive, with a pleasant voice, Betty cannot help but give any visitor to Western a good impression of pur college. Betty is ft junior and this is her first year at WWC. Sheentered from Everett JC and this is her second quarter at the switchboard. Betty was asked if shecould recall any unusual occurrence in her job. She said that the only time that things really got mixed up was last Friday when the storm (remember?) caused a sudden influx and outflow of calls. Theconfusion that resulted was terrific. Next week—all about the library assistants. ' * * • * • " The"Verbal" part of "Verbal" Kazen's name should be worn like a red silk shirt rather than one of hair. Man!It's not libel.

The very fact you enrolled for it shows you don't have a very high I.Q." ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 January 22 - Page 3 ---------- Civic Drama Guild of New York Presents Comic Fantasy WWCollegian P«g« 3 Friday, January 22,1954 , oto By BOB DUNLAP "Lo arid Behold," a three act comic fantasy by John Patrick, waspresented Monday night by the Civic Drama Guild of New York players at Western's auditorium;Although attendance was meager it was in no way indicative of the play's amusement value, or to theabilities of the cast. The patrons came away, generally, with a feeling of having been through apleasant experience. It was admission money well spent for an amusing evening. MEN ANDPOLTERGEISTS The book dealt with the life and after-life of Milo Alcott and the effects of hisphilosophies on his impressionable and knuckle-headed maid. Milo makes a compact with his doctor(will executor) to communicate after death. After Milo dies in the first act he haunts the Alcott mansion for the remainder of the play and is unwilling witness to the shenanigans of his ex-maid, Daisy, asshe attempts to lure the doctor into the clutches of wedded bliss. Unfortunately, from Milo's viewpoint,his "castle" is invaded by a pair of homeless ghosts! An Indian maid, Minne-tonka Smallflower and by asouthern beUe, Honey Wainwright. Honey as southern as corn pone and blackstrap . molasses.The remainder of the play centers around Daisy's campaign to trap the "doc" and complicationsArising: from blackmail attempts by an ex-boy friend. All comes out welt; in the end and the curtain fallson the standard clinch as Daiqy achieves her goal. Milo, as the result of an agreement with bis fellowspectres concerning the outcome of Daisy's matrimonial plans, is left in peace to haunt his manse for all eternity. - Arthur Edwards' (Milo Alcott) portrayal of a cynical old man and ghost was smooth andpolished and Contrasted favorably with the usual amateur theatrical performances seen in Bellingham.Generally, this could be said of the rest of the cast too. Excepting only the male lead, as slightly,uninspiring, and the ex-boy friend (Jack MacDougal) played by William Lyman as reeking with shadesof "A" of "My Friend Irma." Phyllis Manning, playing Daisy, contributed greatly to the enjoy-ability of "Lo and Behold" by her fine portrayal of this difficult part. She seemed natural and sincere throughout. Notleast in merit were the char-acterizings of Judith Lee (Minne-tonka Smallflower — the Indian maid thatwas pushed from "Lover's Leap"—didn't jump!), and Mary Watson playing Honey Wainwright, thesouthern belle that was dispossessed' by the Russian embassy staff. Both Miss Manning and MissLee contributed much to keeping the play moving at a fast clip. "Lo and Behold" was the first of a seriesof three plays to be presented in Bellingham under the auspices of the Bellingham • JuniorChamber of Commerce. The Drama Guild of New York will bring their performances of "Be Your Age"and "Mr. Roberts" to Bellingham on February 15 and March 15, respectively. Gay Fills Vacancy DavidGay was appointed by the Board to fill the vacancy left by Neva Oreskovich. Her term will fun until theend of Winter quarter. The other unsuccessful .candidates were Bob Bollman, David Northrup, JerryAnderson, and William Haycox. The appointment required two ballots. Gay and Anderson receivingan equal number of votes on the first ballot. In the second ballot Gay received a clear cut majority. 250Free Tickets Available For Jerome Wines' Concert ^ree tickets «re available for 250 WWC students tohear Jerome Hines, Metropolitan Opera basso, Monday, January 25.

HELD AT BHS The concert will take place at the Bellingham high schoolauditorium at 8:15 p. m. Under the auspices of the Bellingham Civic Music association. Thisengagement is part of Hines' current American tour. Hines has just returned from extensive Europeanand South American tours during which he appear-ed as guest artist at the Vienna State opera,Buenos Aires' Teatro Colon, the Glyndebourne festival, and the Edinburgh festival. After his Amerciantour is completed, he is scheduled to papeai? as soloist in Beethoven's "Missa Solemnis" with ttoe NewYork Philharmonic Symphony orchestra under Dimitri Metropoulos. EIGHTH SEASON AT MET t h esinger is currently in h is eighth season with the Metropolitan opera where he made his debut threeyears after receiving his bachelor of arts degree at UCLA. He made his first professional appearancewhile still a sophomore at the university. JEROME HINES The New York Herald Tribune says of Hines,"He is an artist, in both his acting and singing, who may well stand up against any of our distinguishedforeign visitors at the Met," Bernar Historian, In Spotlight By SANDEE BARTEE "All humanknowledge, is divisible into 50 minute periods," was the opening sentence for Bernard De-voto's lecturelast Tuesday morning. I had talked to him preyidus, to the lecture, trying to shed a little light on thesubject of Mr. DeVoto. I asked him what he thought of teacher education schools., He said that he, atone time, had a down on them, but had not .taught for years. "I am reaching the; age of senility," he"Said. "I taught at Harvard and Northwestern for. several years, but that was long ago.". I asked himwhat he taught. He mentioned writing courses, American humorous literature, and other literaturecourses. ^ American humor reminded me at once of Mark Twain, whose life story I had heard oula radioishow Sunday night. I told him this and he asked how long the show was. I replied ah hour and hegrunted "Huh, you can't get much out of an hour, especially not his Whole Hfe." He had handled someunpublished papers of Twain's and had studied him extensively. He might be called in the know on t h esubject, De Voto writes an article in Har-per.' s Magazine called "The Easy Chair." I asked him where he gets his ideas and material for the column. "Anywhere. I usually just ask myself what I want to writeabout and write something on politics or literature or the current world scene and occasionallysomething on the lighter side." I mentioned the WWC publication "The Writer" and explained its place in Western life. I asked him what is the easiest way to break into the writing racket. WORK, WORK,WORK To this he replied, "There is no easy way. It takes hard work, diligence, a predisposition, andmore hard work. Writers are not given the title, they are elected to, it by their readers, after anapprenticeship, long and hard. A writer learns from his mistakes. He must have something he wants to say and know how to say it." The right way* to say it is reached through determined practice and self-criticism. Repetition and practice is the road to being a good writer." He is a very easy person to talk to, but to get information, I had to dig. He' impressed me as a person with' the definite predisposition hewas speaking of above. We asked him to go outside to be photographed with Dr. Haggard and would heplease put his coat on? He laughed and said that he had a feeling the people here thought it cold. "Thisis a mild spring day compared to winter in Massachusetts." He was very obliging to the photographer,which can be, I understand, rare among "Big Wheels.'* Supplements Ready The Winter quarter-Profile Supplement will be ready for distribution Tuesday of next week.

As her roommate, Kay MacKen-zie, explains, "Lucie has a special-;ty, a vertical split spiral, that few; people can do.

It's too bad more fans could not have seen the brand of ball exhibited on Friday night, which by the way was as good as willbe found anywhere. Those of you -who were there can well be proud of yourselves. Whether a teamwins or loses it still is representing the school and trying to win. The students' support is much moreappreciated and needed by the players when the chips are down rather than when a team is winning. Ifyou are at all sports minded support your college team. Several times the cry has rung out for a newcollege gym. Before we can warrant a new gym we'll have to consistently crowd the one we have. Thebest plan suggested so far for filling the gym is as follows: every fan try to bring an outsider (non-college student) to the games. This would create interest within the sportsminded Belling-ham ciitzensbrought to the games and lengthen the line of Viking followers. Why don't you try to bring someone tothe next game? IAIMCRA ART SHOP Viks-UBCin Hot Series Two non-conference games are on tapfor the Viks this weekend as they tangle V i th the University of British Columbia. Friday night Westernwill play host to the Thunderbirds and t h e following evening the game will be played in the UBC gym.The Thunderbirds have n e v er been a threat in conference play and usually they have ended up at thebottom of the heap without a single victory but this year they are sporting their best squad in manyyears. Considered the dark horse of the Evergreen conference, they got off to a slow start, but last weekbattled out a 49-48 win over a rugged Eastern team. By virtue of this win they are no longer at thebottom of the cellar but have jumped up into sixth place. Earlier in the season the Vikings lost to UBC61-52 in the Totem tournament and Saturday night's encounter will be a rough one for the Viks. Fridaynight's game should be played on more even terms as playing on the home floor is Considered to givethe hosts an extra ten points, so the Vikings will be gunning for a win in this game. Whitworth isn't theonly team sporting a sky-scraper center. UBC has one in the person of Geoff Craig, who stands 6 ft. 8in. and can cause Western a lot of grey hairs in the rebound situation, as well as dunk in a respectableamount of points. According to Coach Bill McDonald, Western will have to stop Craig and his teammate, John McCleod if the Vikings are to come out on the big end of the score.

On January 13, in a game against theTigers, Marquis scored 94 points. A new individual record was also set when Jim Gard, the league's topscorer, dropped in 37 points. Marquis leads in team scoring and as yet has not been beaten either this quarter or last. At this writing three teams still are unbeaten. However both Marquis and Daniels Hallwill meet the Steam Rollers before the week is but. In league A action Daniels picked up two victoriesover the past week.

At the end of the year Bob was picked on the honorary all-city basketball team. The next year he duplicated the feat and averaged 14 points a game. His senioryear Petrosik came out west to Edmonds high, where he lived with his brother. After turning outseveral weeks for the Edmonds team he received a terrific disappointment when he was foundineligible for the squad. The reason was that he had not been a resident of the state long enough. An ex-Viking football and baseball player, Jerry Karnofski, was teaching at Edmonds and recommendedPetrosik to McDonald. Bob made the varsity squad last year as a freshman and a bright basketballfuture is predicted. Petrosik's story book jump from the bottom to the top of the basketball laddershould be an inspiration to other who might not think it possible.

Vikings Nearly Upset Pirates; Lose in Final Minutes By WIN Western's hard-luck boys lost a nip and tuck thriller to the Whitworth Pirates in the local gym last Friday night 60-54.In what is considered their best game of the season the Vikings saw their chances of pulling thebiggest upset of the season slip away in the dying minutes: of the game. The Pirates, led by toweringPhil Tordon and several lesser giants, presented the most formidable foe to enter the local court insome time but apparently Coach McDonald's lads didn't seem to think that they were unbeatable.Although the lead changed hands eight times the Vikings were able to stay out in front until the lastthree minutes when the Pirates scuttled the Viking victory ship with some torrid shooting. MADEGOOD SHOWING Western's slow deliberate type of offense and scrappy defense made an impressiveshowing in the first half as the Viks went into a seven point lead, 39-22, at. the half. In the first halfWhitworth was forced to do most of their shooting from out front because their "feed Jordan" campaign failed to materialize any easy shots from under t he 1122 Cornwall SAM'S CAFE HOME-MADE CHILIServed "Piping Hot" HOSTINE'S NU-WAY SHOE SHOP 107 West Magnolia Across from PostofficeLet Flowers Speak for You Bay Champion Phone 4999 PEARSON bucket. This was due largelythrough the efforts of Roger Knigge, John Crooks and Bob Stone, who succeeded in bottling up theback court. As the third quarter progressed so did the Viking lead. At one time they led 38-28, whichwas the largest margin either club enjoyed, but' with six minutes to go the Pirates began'clippingpoints off Western's lead and at the three minute mark they broke loose with a rash of points that putthem ahead for good. With one minute to go Paul Buday narrowed the gap with his six point outburst.STATISTICS Whitworth Ray Beach ....

Campus Shivers in Icy Coat By BOBDUNLAP It all began on Thursday night a week ago. An insidious chill creeping down upon theunsuspecting populace. Coldly, impersonally, the snow settled over all surfaces equally. Nothing wasslighted—rooftops, lawns, and roads are received their fair layer of the soft white substance. Thenfrom the Northeast there came a wind. The temperature plummeted downward. By morning all wasSiberian, weatherwlse. MINORITY HAPPY Two grdups of people were happy in Bellingham that day! The little ones and the service station attendees. For the small people there was no school and snow forsled- HANDW0VENS Skirts, Stoles, Gift Items Just 3 blocks down from college CLAIRE NIX 510 State Phone 3607-B IN BELLINGHAM NEWBERRY'S ding, sliding, and snowball fights. There were,however, reports that the stuff wasn't packing very well. Ah well, there must be a serpent in every Eden.The service station men had a field day. Chains to be put on for customers at $1 per car— Antifreeze-to be sold by the barrel to once optimistic people. Maybe even a few mud and snow tires to be sold. It was a "good", day for them. . - - ; What's more, the situation didn't improve at all, or at the most, only veryslightly, in the flays following. The small people continued to frolic in the icy temperatures and seemedto enjoy themselves immensely. Most adults watching these incomprehensible activities of their smalloff spring with-a shake of the head and a vague reminiscence of bygone childhoods. x The chain-putter-oners continued to rake in the loot and sell antifreeze like mad. Then -the Northeast wind died.The snow was here to stay, or so it seemed. Monday the Sun was seen. Tuesday the Sun was seen.Things looked better. But if they do get better the little people will be most unhappy and the antifreezesalesmen will go back to their humdrum existence pumping gasoline. But you and I, the motorist, thebewildered parent, or the happy and thankful when the green of the grasses is bared again and the icybreath of the Northeast wind and the clinging cold of the* frigid snow are but memories of the past. "It'sunique," says vivacious, green-eyed Jackie Kintner. She's speaking of "Liliom," the winter productionbeing staged by t he drama department. "Carousel" was taken from "Liliom," and everybody lovedthat—so they should get a bang Out of this. Jackie, a sophomore, was in "You Can't. Take it With Yon" at the Annie Wright Seminary - in Ta-coma. The blond co-ed, who stands 5 ft. 4 in. prophesied, "It willbe fun to work with the cast; the play itself is amusing, it will supply quite a few laughs." Jackie playsthe-part of "Julie." BILL ELWOOD "I've been in piays since t he seventh grade and I like 'Liliom' reallywell," said Bill ElWood, a freshman from Caldwell, Idaho. Bill figured in "High Tor" and played in "OurMiss Brooks" in his Caldwell high, senior class play. . , . • "Hobby, Oh, my hobby is eating," assured the 5 ft. 9 in/ lad with the dark brown' (almost black) hair. "As for the play, it's different,"She concluded.Bill has the role of "Liliom." JIM SIMON "There are definite characters that you can draw from, and youmight even see yourself in it," said Jim Simon who plays the part of "Wolf Biefeld." Jim was in "TwoBlind Mice," "Uncle Harry," "Merchant of Venice" and "Life With Father" at Western. He played in"The Robe" and "The Marriage Proposal" at the Theatre Guild. "Most of the play deals with miniatureportraits of general people, and I believe that it will appeal to everybody," he said. FLOYD JACKSON'Tm just a lowly policeman," says Floyd Jackson. Floyd figured in "Two Blind Mice," "Martha," and "High Tor." Besides studying, Floyd spends his time hunting and fishing, during seasons. He likes drama,speech, and corrective speech. "I'm also interested to debate," admitted the 6 ft. junior, his browneyes sparkling. "The play is going into the second act, now, as scheduled. I find it very entertaining,'he said. "Com- * Star Rexall Drug Co. State Holly, Ph. 224 pared to most of the plays we have hadat Western, it is unusual," he concluded. Prom the foregoing interviews "Liliom" promises to be* a realhit.

Western is the second school on the budget committee's tour of state supported schools. The committee comes directly fromthe University of Washington where conditions there were discussed. At the meetings will be the three trustees, certain legislators in the , area, and certain members of Western's' faculty. • 'Washington's legislative budget committee is made up of several distinguished men in Washingtonpolitics. Senators Carlton I. Sears, chairman, Edward F. Riley, secretary, and John Happy comprisethe senate's representatives on the committee. The representatives include Tom Montgomery, vicechairman, August P. Mardesich, Marshall A. Neill, and Ole H. Olson. Paul W. Elis is the legislativeauditor for the committee. The budget committee believes these meetings with the five state supportedinstitutions will serve several purposes. They hope to encourage a continuation and expansion ofcooperation among the five schools. They also wish to obtain standards for judging appropriationrequests and to determine the amount of undesirable duplication existing among the five institutions. A fifth point was the allocation of a minimum of staff time to eral things that will be discussed.

Forms are available in room 109, Mr. Ferris' office. that the rent of the veterans' housing units should beraised. It was also decided that the fees for summer quarter should be raised.. Rents for the housingunits haye received a blanket $5 raise. TJ gt;r. W. W. Haggard, president,, stated that the raise wasnecessary because the rent has not been upped since the buildings were erected in 1946. The cost ofupkeep has increased with the increased cost of living. .Thire are many more expenditures on .thebuildings now than when they were new. The increased intake will build up a fund for further repair andexpansion. Until recent years the housing units have belonged to the veteran's administration. Now the units belong to the college. They are under college policy and all changes in the rents are made bythe collgee board of trustees. The VA no longer has any interest in the veteran's housing. It should bebrought out that veterans have first chance at the houses. If veterans do not fill the housing units, othermarried students may occupy the apartments. Summer quarter fees was the other item discussedat the board of trustees meeting. It was decided to raise summer quarter fees from $22 to $24 for half ofthe quarter and from $28 to $32 for the whole quarter. Special student rates will be raised from $5 to$10 for either summer term. The increase was necessary to take care of increased expenses. Positions Now Open Anyone wishing to run for Board of Control president, vice president, or representative should file for office immediately.

Grecian #Story of a Srndill Song' Has Fascinating Background By POPY ANAGNOSTOPOULOU "Mydear bright moon, give, me, please, your light to go to the school, to learn language and God's things."Today I heard my roommate singing that song and doing at the same time her bed. I was surprised. Iwondered how she knew that old Greek song. I asked her and she told me that when she was veryyoung, her mother taught it to her. (Her -mother came from Greece.) This song has a long story, veryinteresting to us today. I will tell you it now in a few lines. When the Turks, 500 years ago, conquered Greece, they closed all the Greek schools and churches. Some of the Greek teachers went to Europeand gave. Greek education and civilization to the Western people; some of them the T u r k s killed.Greece did not regain her independence until 400 years later. With no schools during this longoccupation, it would have been easy for the Greeks to forget their language, customs, religion, andeven their nationality. But today they still keep all of those things as they took them from theirancestors. They learned to do that in their "secret schools." . The classrooms of. these schools weresmall churches far, very far from the city or village. The little Greek children had to walk at night,sometimes one or two hours, to get to their school. When there was a moon, this walk was not sodifficult, but on dark nights the poor Greek children sang the song which my roommate this morningwsjts singing: "Please; my bright moon, give me your light /.; ':•" ' ':... The pastor, the teacher of the school, always waited in the small church, for the children, to teach them some reading from the Bible, arithmetic, writing, Greek history, and singing. The children sat on, the floor; their light in the churchwas a poor lamp in which cotton was burned in oil;. When the Turks learned about a school, they went,to catch the students and teacher to kill them. The people had to run quickly far away. That was the PEclass. In those nightly schools the teachers taught how the people would fight against the enemy toget freedom and even planned the date of the revolution. That is the story of, the song that every Greekmother teaches to her children, and the children do the same (to their children forever. Kangley HasParty For 24 Advisees Dr. Lucy Kangley, English, gave a party for her advisory group at her home theevening of January 21. Approximately 24 advisees attended the party and were in charge of cookingthe food for the meal. With International Student week coming up soon, the party was especiallyappropriate. Several of Dr. Kangley's group came from countries other than the United States. ThelmaYamashita, a Japanese girl from Hawaii, Lenko Gazija, from Yugoslavia, and Popy Anagnostopoulou,from Greece were among the students from other countries. This second advisory group get-togethercame about as a result of the first meeting fall quarter. Talk of international foods brought up the idea ofgiving a second dinner and cooking all the foods in different countries.

The Collegian will attempt to get a counter-statement for next" week.) It is Friday evening. Winter has just unleashed one of its sharpest blasts, but a hardy group of us— students at Western—together with a goodly number of cultured mindedcitizens of the community are braving the elements that we may congregate in our auditorium to hearand see a discourse on India. We could have stayed home with our feet on the hearth and sapped the air waves via our TV or radio sets, but that would have necessitated our enduring a sixty secondcommercial every little while. Furthermore, we know that a group of our friends on campus have worked hard to bring good talent to us, and we expect this to be a well spent evening. The program opens withthe appearance on stage of our student body president/and we settle back to enjoy a mental feast.But Mr. Howe's first words shock us. We are first to hear a brief presentation "on a very worthy cause. . ." An apprehensive stir sweeps. thru the audience—this is obviously going to be a stab at thepocketbook. This is a discouraging way to start an assembly, especially with first-class talent waitingback stage, "but we students can take it—it's happened Jjefore. How the community people feel ishard to estimate, but they are gracious enough not to head for the exits. So, trying not to betray ourinternal illness at this turning of events—and finding it impossible to smile, we anchor ourselves toour seats and swallow sentence after sentence concerning the wonders of this worthy campaign. It'snot the campaign that, bothers us, it's that it is thrown at us at a time like this. ' The advocate of charity is reaching a climax; we shall soon get that for which we have come .At this point the axe falls. Atthe close of the program girls will be placed at the exits with little tin cans. lt; There are no/exceptions:students a nd community people are to be drained alike; Oh, sure, it's optional, but the implications areobvious. This is too much. Was not an assembly scheduled as a kickoff for this campaign? Will weever generate real interest in our A L series, either by students or community, till this sort of thing is stopped? v Yup, the program was wonderful, except that it was marred by the unwarrantedcommercial and the little tin yeans. By DOUG KAZEN chicken suki yaki.: She sent home to herparents to get special Japanese cakes to serve with the dinner. Gazija made his special two day soupfor Yugoslavia's contribution to the meal. Also the students celebrated the birthday of Benjamin Kaloa, a student from Alaska. Dr. Kangley was impressed by the way the students took over the preparation of the meal. jr4 t044 tfo SteVict faf SbHOK ; .fClouds over the proposal concerning weekly movies in the auditorium are hot as black as we led you to believe last week. A silver lining broke through at thisweek's Board meeting. Rey Sundal reported that for the remainder of this quarter it would be possible toshow movies on alternate Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Next quarter they could be sched-* '—-——— uled for successive Tuesday nights. -Investigation'-is:'now in progress on the feasibility ofSaturday night pictures instead of on mid-week nights* Work goes forward on securing a film sourceas rapidly as possible. The beauty of campus-shown films is the fact that they will cost the financially-destitute campus but a fraction of downtown motion pictures. A letter was read at the meeting fromLloyds of London concerning an insurance policy for Western students. The Board now awaits theopinion of the student body. ARE YOU INTERESTED?

ByBOB,DUNLAP There seems to be a few people on campUs that think that the appeal for WUS fundsat last Friday's A lt;fc L program was ill-timed and showed, not a little, poor taste. The main pointsupporting these contentions is that the public was invited, as it is to all A L programs, and that they (the public) were in attendance that night. While getting hit at the door on the way out probablydidn't make anyone extremely unhappy it may have left some with a bad taste in t h e ir mouths. Fundraising in this manner was dropped by the large charity organizations several years ago because ofthe adverse" public reaction to it.

Material has been comingin, but a great deal more is needed to insure having a good magazine, according to staff members of thepublication. Eighty five dollars in prizes will be awarded to the authors of works judged first and secondbest in each of three categories, the essay, the poem, and the short story. Judging will be done at theUniversity of Washington during the spring more peters speaks (Continued from Page. 1) has done thisthrough his work at the Institute, through short wave radio in Germany from the eastern zone ofGermany, and through wide reading- of German news publications and those printed in otherlanguages. A recent resident of Germany, Peters was able to confer with leading politicians,educators and economists. During the three years he was also able to talk to hundreds of. politicalrefugees from Communist dominated countries. "The great problem of the assimilation of theseunfortunate people into the West German cities is one of major importance," Dr. Peters says. Hehas felt America has "put the political cart before the cultural horse" thereby stressing onr giganticeconomic power rather than our cultural and spiritual aims. This subject is one close to Dr. Peters andone of the functions of the American Institute was to promote and further American culture throughAmerican scholars of note. When Hitler came into power Peters was forced to leave Germany. He thentaught in England a nd America and is at present a member of the faculty of Reed college in Portland,Oregon.

First prize in the poetry section is $15, while second prize is $10.Berneice Brown, essay editor, states the amount of material in her category has increased over lastweek, but more copy is needed. First prize in the division is $15 while the author of the runner-up storywill receive $10. Dave Gay, short story editor, says quite a few short stories have been turned in, butthat many more are needed to fill the magazine adequately. A $25 first prize is being offered in thissection, while second prize is $10. In summing up the situation, Mike O'Sammon, editor of thepublication, remarks tha the more copy the magazine receives, the better the publication will be.O'Sammon urges all students to write something and turn it in. "If the student is unable to writeanything, he should turn in works he has written before, no matter how poor the author thinks they are. The copy might be very good;" Material may be turned in to one of three places, a box in theCollegian office, room 38 of the main building, or Mr. Hovde's office in the annex. The copy must betyped, appear on one side of each sheet, and should be double-spaced. The author should write hisname on the sheet and put down the approximate number of words. Skeen and Jabush Address ACE Club About 25 students and faculty were present when Association for Childhood Education (ACE) held their first meeting of the quarter last Thursday in the Campus school cafeteria. Following a very briefbusiness meeting, members heard Dr. Bearnice Skeen and Tom Ja-busch speak to the group onpossible projects for the next workshop meeting. As a Christmas project, some of the membersarranged a trip to St. Joseph's hospital where they worked with Eskimo children. Those present tookbooks, puzzles, and toys to enjoy with the children. The trip proved such a success that severalmembers asked if they might have a chance to attend further similar trips. Both Dr. Skeen and Mr.Jabusch have worked with the children in the Orthopedic center so the club invited them to come tospeak to the group about possible projects that could be planned. The next regular meeting will be heldin the IA building on February 11 at 4:00 when the club will take part in a workshop type meeting, as a future trip to the hospital has been planned.

We first sang around the family piano. Our family is musically inclined. Then I was a choir boy in' the Curtis Institute of Music in New York, where I was a boy soprano soloist for sixyears." When his voice stopped changing, he again sang- until the time he went into service. Dr.Haggard and some other people came backstage to meet him and talk with him. Miss McMillan,campus school, music, asked him if he would have the time to observe the music classes. He said he was very sorry, but he had to leave shortly for his next engagement. "Have you made any recordings?"asked Miss McMillan. "Yes, I was looking for children's records and could find none to please me. I think the children's records put out most of the time are very poor. I made some recordings for my ownchildren and as a result, made some recordings for "His Masters Voice" over in England and for'Columbia' records here in the states." I attended the class he conducted in vocal technique immediately following. He complimented Mr. Re-gier on his method of vocalizing the choir before each rehearsal.He also told any of us going into elementary level that we should not try to push the children's voices, as so often happens. They should be allowed to sing easily within their range. Langstaff impressed me asbeing Interyiewedt; Interests GOOD LUCK, VIKINGS! Leathercraft Supplies Moccasins Belts Bert'sLeather Shop 217 W.

This weekend series is still on but whether the weatherwill let up at an appropriate time is questionable. Eastern and Whitworth gave free homedemonstrations as to their intentions with our Vikings when they1 dropped through Bellingham January 15 and 16. The strange environment in general, and the unfamiliar gyms in particular point towards badluck on the road this week. * YOUR EYES ARE OK Optical illusions are not too uncommon in thesnow. If you saw a man in sweat pants running in over a foot of snow last week you were not a victim ofthe before mentioned malady. That was Jerry Swan, the Vikings' great two miler, who leaves one withthe impression that he likes to run. * * * The future holds no promise for the Viking basketball team, asfar as a weakening t gt;f this year's Evergreen teams by graduation. Whitworth has only five seniors and they are not all starters. Real powers next year could be CPS, Central or Eastern. All three of these teams have only two seniors on their rosters. * * * Official NAIA statistics have been released andWhitworth is well represented. Phil Jordan,,the Pirates big center, is seventh in the nation in field goalpercentage. Roy Beach is fifth in the nation in free throw percentages with 16 points in 18 tries. TheWhitworth team's free throw percentage is fourth in the nation. The Pirates have sunk 78 in 104 attempts for an amazing 75 per cent, if you remember, they gave the locals a demonstration of their art in thewaning minutes of the game here.

The Vikings, in their last encounter withthe Pirates, tied up the big man as much as anyone has been able to so far by limiting him to six fieldgoals. In doing this effective bit of ball hawking the much shorter Viks gave him twelve more pointsfrom the free-throw line for a total of 24 points. Mr. Jordan's rebounding was a thorn in Western's side soCoach McDonald may shift his lads into a double post to try to collect a few more loose balls off theoffensive boards. Whitworth has always shown much more strength in their own gym and it seemsdoubtful that any team will leave their court victor-, ious. However, the Pirates don't regard the Viks too lightly as they were barely able to salvage their reputation in the last contest, so they will be oh theirtoes to eliminate any chance of a Viking victory.

In their last meeting a red hot Savage fivetrounced the Viks 70-48. This game should be closer than the last skirmish, even though it is beingstaged on the Savages' home court, because the phenomenal shooting that beat the Vikings oncebefore will be very^'hard to duplicate again. At Western, Eastern hit almost one out of every two shotstaken from the floor, and McDonald's men were only able to score one out of every five shots taken.Although shooting percentages will probably be closer tonight, the Viks will have to fire at the bucketmore often than they did in their last game to make up for their height deficit. All five of Eastern'sstarters are potential scorers and any one of them is likely to break out in a rash of points when theteam needs an extra boost.

Savage scuffle five Savages scored eights points ormore with Edwards and Frazier making 18 each. This makes it even more tough on Western's defense because they cannot beat the Savages by stopping one or two men. At the present time Eastern isresting in fifth by virtue of their win over Western, which is the only conference game they have won, andWestern is the lone cellar dweller so this should be added incentive to trip up the Savages.

This announcement came from Ivor J. Allsop, officer in charge of the veterans administrationoffice in Bellingham. Allsop explained that the reason was that the law's cutoff date of August 20, 1954,applies to Korean veterans separted from service before August 20, 1952. If veterans want to go on the GI bill they must begin by the 1954 deadline in order to continue afterwards. "Veterans who left serviceafter August 20, 1952, need not concern themselves with the forthcoming 1954 cutoff date," Allsopstated. Instead they have two years from the date of their separation in which to begin GI training. The deadline comes before next fall's school term gets under way. Therefore the term starting early in 1954 may be the last opportunity for many veterans to get schooling under the GI bill. Under the law, aveteran must actually "enroll in and begin" training before his deadline, if he wants to go on with itafterwards. The mere filing of an application beforehand, with the intention of starting afterwards, is notenough. Generally, the veteran will be expected to be in the classroom on his deadline date. But solong as he started in time, he may be permitted Enrollment Up Winter Quarter Western's enrollment forthe winter quarter is up approximately eight percent oyer the figures of winter quarter 1953, accordingto Donald A. Ferris, registrar. Pupils may be enrolling for a week or two so the exact number of students registered is not known. Ferris estimates the figure will be over 1,200. It is estimated that 40 to 45transfer students have enrolled in Western this quarter. In addition to this, about 35 new studentshave entered. Ferris also pointed out that many students enrolled in Western a few years ago are alsoreturning. Most of these enrollees served in the armed forces and are returning on the GI bill. Aluncheon for the new and transfer students was held Thursday, January 7, at noon, at Edens hall. Dr.Merle S. Kuder, director of student personnel services, was the main speaker. to interrupt his coursebecause of summer vacation* or for some other reason beyond his control. Allsop emphasized thatthese cutoff date rules apply only to veterans training under the Korean GI bill. They do not pertain tothose under the original World War n GI bill.

Gelder's On BOC Goes To Van Aver ByMILDRED WALRATH "What do you want to interview ME for?" queried Harvey Gelder, moth. "Dr. VanAver is the new man on the board; he is more important than the man going out." Allowing a winsomesmile, Mr. Gelder relaxed. "One reflection-r people who have to deal with the BOC are often upset withthe fact that they have to work each year with a new board. Naturally, each new board takes a newapproach to problems. However, that is an educative experience which must be learned rather than told." A sketch of events which transpired, during Mr. Gelder's eleven quarters on the board would read asfollows: amendments for the constitution; mural for lounge planned; expanded WWCollegian; revised budget procedure; Evergreen conference rulings; and clarification of the book-buying in the Coop.Doug Kazen, board member, said, "Concerning Mr. Gelder's work with the BOC, I think we're all agreedhe did a terrific job. Mr. Gelder is a fair thinker and a keen thinker. A lot of us will miss him." Mr. Geldersummarized, "It's been very stimulating. Serving on the BOC is one of the ideal extra-curricularactivities, and I would commend it to anyone." DR. VAN AVER Working with students will not be new to Dr. Van Aver, English, who has started his three year term with the BOC whiter quarter. He served on the board one summer under the administration of Bill Jones. A smile lit Dr. Van AVer's face andlaughter danced In his eyes as he reminisced, "About the only thing that I recall as having beenaccomplished was the erection of the 'KEEP OFF' sign at Lakewood."

Many times a name does notmore than to serve to identify one object from another. But'when many objects are named the same,further identification, or new identification must be used. We believe the latter pertains to theWWCollegian. At the present time, the name "Collegian" signifies very little. Perhaps in 1900, when thename of the newspaper was changed to the WWCollegian from the Northwest Viking, there was apurpose for the change. No reason can be gleaned from past issues of the paper. MANY NAMED"COLLEGIAN" Also, at the present time, some 14 college newspapers over the nation are named"Collegian" of which three besides Western are in the Pacific Northwest: the Holy Names Collegian,Spokane; the Willamette Collegian, Salem, Oregon; and the Walla Walla Collegian, College Place,Washington. In short, we believe that the Collegian should have a more definitive name, one moreappropriate to Western.

I supposealong with all the new year's resolutions everyone has decided to really buckle down and make this thebest quarter in college. I hope it will be, although it has been said that if every time a resolution werebroken a bone was broken, it would not be long before our national forests would be consumed forsplints and crutches. As far as ASB activities are concerned, this quarter is going to be very busy. If you look in the calendar of the Navigator you will see what I mean. Of course the biggest event of the winterquarter is the electing of the ASB president, vice-president and BOC members. If you feel you arequalified to fill any of these spots you will have opportunity to file during the seventh week. I was informed by Mr. Ferris the registrar, that there are a number of new students on campus. I would like to saywelcome to them and I am sure it will not be long before they will find their place in the student bodygovernment. If you new students desire to participate in ASB activities, contact any of the BOCmembers, the vice-president, or me personally. HENRY HOWE ASB President Drinking Machine InStudent Co-op Texas has nothing on Western's Co-op. The place fairly abounds with wide-open spaces. During the holidays the coke and other soft drink machines were replaced with completely automaticmachines. However, you still have to put in the dime yourself. Now we have a choice of.... lemon-lime,coca-cola, root beer.and orange. This change is fine, or so think the majority of the Co-op patrons, butthere is a diehard core of bottle drinkers (Coke) that is unhappy over the change. This group—if theywere organized as such—would be headed by Dr. Taylor, social studies. Mr. Earle, Co-op manager,has offered to install the old coke machine in Dr. Taylor's office. The issue is still in doubt. No need to go to class sleepy, either. Coffee is available too. A machine that has one thousand cups on tap is rightnext to the new soft drink machine. A couple of quick cups before class may spell the differencebetween delight or despair at grade time.

Some students felt they had too manycredits in loungeology and perhaps should remedy this by taking a few more academic subjects. Whileothers have been victims of finding no place to park their car. Remedy: Early to bed and early to rise, (6:00 maybe?) and dash to t he parking lot. Many resolutions have been made concerning smoking and drinking and better hours.

This work will be continued as lnog as the $500 appropriated by the Board last quarter holds out. Dr. Van Aver was given a welcome by the Board as Board advisor. He replaces Mr. Gelder whose term of office ended last quarter. A welcome was also extended to the newboard members elected l a st quarter. . The Student Facilities committee was given the letter from thestudents concerning a place in the main building where students could stop to drink coffee and eattheir home-packed lunches. An investigation will be made and a report given to the Board upon whichthey may act.

Friday night the Viks will meet the highly favored Central Washington Wildcatsand the following evening they tangle with the College of Puget Sound Loggers. WILDCATS TOUCHLast year Western took Central twice but this year they are meeting virtually, the same team as theWildcats lost only two cagers off the whole squad. Central has had a fairly respectable record at thisphase of the season, especially on their own floor, which is about as roomy as the inside of a woman's pocketbook. The game at CPS? the following night will be the one the Vikings are shooting for. TheLoggers do not seem to figure in the race for the conference crown but they are capable of winning arespectable number of games. Lately they have had some bad luck and have dropped some toughones. On the other hand the Viks have been showing well in the last few games and a win over CPSmight be the shot in the arm that will win a few more ball games. Noe and Cipriano Spark Buchan'sWin Over Vikings In three games* over the holidays Western won one and lost two. On December 18Buchans scored a 70-48 victory over the Vikings. Buchans were led by center Chet Noe, 19 points,and guard Joe Cipriano, 16 points. The Vikings somewhat awed by the talent facing them kept withinstriking distance as the half time score shows. Western was down seven points at the half with thescore being 33-26. Then Buchans steadily increased its lead to 13 points at the end of the third quarter and finally put the pressure oh the Vikings by scoring 21 points in the last quarter.

Fac-ty, business office, aridadmin-tration all knew. Probably the irdener knew. Maybe even the ngineer. But, for certain, the stu-ents didn't. Even the ASB presi-erit didn't. NOTHER CABIN! What? Oh, the extra cabin at akewood."Extra?" you say. Yes, Ktra! Its discovery (or rediscovery) ime about in this fashion. Last eek some ofthe boys were whoop-lg it up at the Malunrute S op! wrong story. The Facilities gt;mmittee had a workcrew out at akewood, the college recreational roperty on Lake Whatcom (8 tires), last week. One of theboys, salmon-berry plucker by nature nd inclination stumbled upon a iug little cabin beneath this salm-ri- berry bushes. The question then arose, is this le property of the college? Due rocess of investigationrevealed lat it was. So now there are twice many facilities at Lakewood as efore. [OWE CAUTIOUSOne of the humorous aspects of le affair was the reaction of Henry [owe, ASB president, to the news,owe was asked for a key to the other" cabin. It was padlocked, [ehry said, "What cabin?" "There onlyone cabin at Lakewood." taly after a Board member had een delegated to investigate own-rship throughthe County Auditors ffice and WWC business office ould President Howe consent to gn a requisition forthe purchase f a new hasp to replace one that ad been filed through by some un-nown interloper.Subsequent inquiry revealed that very one seemed to know about le extra cabin except the students.The cabin, located about 75 yards est (toward Bellingham) from the ther cabin, contains a kitchen ange,table, bench (Cornwall, park-ype), chair, and fireplace, it is bout 9x15 feet, rectangular in hape. There isa servicalble out-oor fireplace nearby and a weath-r- stained, battered picnic table ad-icent. The building,upon prelim-nary inspection^ seems to be fairly ound. It is in need of some repairs, Lowever. Thefacilities committee i considering the extent of pro-osed repairs now. Due to the need for these repairs,s: well as a need for a thorough leanuft the "extra" cabin will not e available for use by the students orseveral days.

Have fun! The facilities at Lakewood (college property on LakeWhatcom) were doubled last week when a member of a cleanup crew stumbled on an "extra" cabin whilepicking sa\mbnberries. Carolyn Crook, ASB vice president, was not seated on the porch rail at the timeof discovery but was added later by the Collegian photographer to brighten the scene. The cabin,located west of the main buildings is completely surrounded by bushes arid forest. It fronts directly oh thelake, arid will be available for student use after renovation by the facilities committee of the ASB.Stevenson Relaxed In Bellingham Stop By DAVE GAY Darkly tanned arid Relaxed, Adlai Stevenson,unsuccessful Democratic presidential candidate in 195 2, passed through Bellingham Wednesday onhis way to the Powell River area of Canada. Stevenson arrived at the Bellingham Shipyards on a smallyacht at about 11:55. a. rri. He is traveling with a party of eight, includirig his teen aged son, John Fell,and his secretary, William Blair. Fbrty minutes after landing the group left in two small seaplanes forCanada. The former Illinois governor posed affably in the strong riiidday sun, attired in sports clothes forcameras ranging from Brownies to press and movie equipment. The younger Mr. Stevenson tendedto stay iri the background until asked to pose with his father. When the fattier and son were deluged bya bevy of Bellingham belles, John seemed apprehensive. His father, however, termed the situation the"happiest political experience of (his) life." ^ A striking characteristic of the Democratic leader was hisnatural, facile manner in posing, answering questions, and greeting people. An Mr. Stevenson's excellent diction, and his forriial grammar. The interesting thing about this is that these two characteristics arenot immediately apparent, because of the manner of the man. Of personal interest to this reporter was the impression received that the "defeated candidate" was very little taller than this diminutive(five foot six in elevator shoes) individual. Practically all the questions asked of Mr. Stevenson have beenasked and answered during the past few weeks. Among his reiterations were: On McCarthy: "Couldn'tspeculate" as to whether McCarthy is "on the way otft." On Communism: The United States is "veryeffectively dealing with Communism" through regular agencies. The "situation is very well in hand." Ofspecial interest, perhaps, is his matter-of-fact, apparently confident statement that the Democratswould win in the House of Representatives' race, and "probably the Senate" in the fall elections. Mr.Stevens was greeted by Bellingham Shipyard's president A. W. Talbot. Deputy prosecutor JackRowles arranged the affair, and Mayor Sig Hjaltalin extended the other interesting characteristic waseity's greetings. New Study Method Successful in Super's Conference The Superintendent's conference held here during the last week was very successful, says Dr. J. Alan Ross of the Education department.Highest compliments go to Dr. Kimball Wiles, who is visiting professor from the University of Florida.The participants in the conference expressed the attitude of being extremely happy to have had thechance to know Dr. Wiles personally although they had gotten to know him a little from his tWo b o ok s "Supervision for Better Schools" and "Teaching for Better Schools." Both Dr. Ross and Dr. Wilescommented on the Case Method of study used for the first time in any meeting of this type. Thisproved very successful in studying human relation problems in administration. Although this was thedebut of this method, it will be used throughout the year in other administrative meetings. Incommenting on the attendance, Dr. Ross said that all districts in Western Washington wererepresented and that some from Eastern and Central were present. "On a whole," said Dr. Ross, "theconference was very successful and we feel sure they will benefit from the sharing they experiencedduring this conference." em Washington area. Each scholarship is iri the amount of $400. Theseawards, two of which are to be offered this year, will go to students with exceptional scholastic abilityand established financial heed. No student will receive a scholarship for more than one year. Principalsof the various high schools in this region have been asked to nominate outstanding graduates for thesegrants. About five years ago the Standard Oil Company of California instituted an experimentalscholarship program at each of the nine state and territorial universities in the area which the companymarkets its products. Selection of winners was left completely to the universities involved. Because ofthe success of this program, the company decided to offer scholarships to all the co-educationaland men's colleges iri the seven western states and Alaska and Hawaii. Williams Voted To, Fill BOCVacancy Rodger Williams, 1954-55 BOO member-elect, was appointed to summer board iastWednesday. Garden Pfister, another member-elect, also applied for the summer position. Williamswill fill the vacancy left wheri Mike 6'Sammon resigned at the beginning of this quarter. The board's voteon the appointment was tied, five votes for each applicant. Henry Howe, ASB president broke the tie by flipping a coin. He said he could not choose between the two on the basis of quali- | fications.Both Williams and Pfister were elected to next falls board at the ASB election last spring. Writer EditorPleads For Manuscripts July 27 is approaching and very little materials has been turned iri to the Writer, stated George Cole, editor, at the Writer meeting held Monday, July 12, iri the TV lounge. Material leftover from, spring quarter may be used unless short stories, poems or essays from the summer students began to show up. All copy which is printed will be eligible for the six prizes offered in the spring for theliterary cash awards, which range from $25 for first place in each division to $10 for runner-ups. Ifanyone is in doubt concerning what type of material the editorial board wishes they should attend one ofour Monday afternoon meetings at 4 p. m. in the TV lounge, stated Cole. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 July 16 - Page 2 ---------- Plan forGrqupi Reading at Hawthorne C And Silver Lake Schools Described (Editors Note: This is the first article we have received from the general student-body on matters .dealing with education. Others'will begreatly appreciated and welcomed.) By LEONARD LILLIBRIDGE . Everett^ '' The purpose of adopting this plan of grouping was to alleviate these problems: a) The difficulty that most teachers have in handlingmany reading groups in one room due to the wide range of reading ability found in the averageclassroom. It appears logical that two groups can be handled more adequately than from three tosix; b) To make provision for an environment in which the gifted or brighter children can progress attheir own speed and not be held back by the slower students taking the time of the teacher; c) Toprovide an environment for the slower students where material would be presented at only their leveland their specific needs can be more adequately met and more individual help given. The plan calls for areading period of fifty minutes a day. It is only in this 50 minute period that this grouping prevails andfor reading only. At other times during the day the children are in their regular rooms. The plan calls forability grouping as it involves reading skill or reading level. However, on rare occasions -we findcertain students have problems of age, social or emotional instability of a nature that makes it unwiseto group hinTas far upward or downward more than two grade levels. In reading we avoid speaking ofgrades; we speak only of a certain teacher's group. The teachers get together, evaluate each childaccording to reading ability and place him at the level where he is.reading. The grouping is done for.grades.4^5-6. There are six groups each under a teacher. The top group is given a wealth of material and move as fast as they can. The bottom group make up the remediaj^room. In the remedial room areabout 16 students who deviate the most from the normal in reading ability. They, may be reading at onlyfirst or second grade level or have some health-sensory problem that is holding them back. This planhas been in operation for five years. What things have we learned in this time? First, that children are not as emotionally concerned about their placement as we sometimes- think, especially where adequateefforts are made to explain the purpose to the child and give him an opportunity for self evaluation.What they want above all else is security. They feel happy and secure to be placed with people likethem and to be given material at a level they can experience some success. .Second, for the topgroup there is no question but that achievement is considerably advanced. Third, for the middle groupsthere does not appear to be any considerable difference, except that teachers involved in anexperiment tend toward greater achievement; This plan was originally set up by Principal Glen Darceyat Silver Lake and later by Leonard Lilli-bridge at Hawthorne. Donald Gramm, Baritone, Here Tuesday InA. and L Program_. Donald Gramm, bass-baritone, will appear as the fifth artist of the summer A Lseries Tuesday evening, July 20.

The Ring Shout, which was danced to hymns, exemplified the way in which the slaves adopted a prayerful attitude and, with handclapping and a slow walk, convinced their masters that they were not dancing. Betty Edwards, EugeneJames, Gloria Jones and Daniel Lloyd gave a faithful interpretation of the varied moods of their race. In 1805 the mayor of New Orleans gave a plot of ground, Congo Square, now Beauregard Square, to theNegroes, where they might dance until the curfew at nine o'clock called a halt to their activities. TheBamboula (derived from bamboo) was one of the dances used at this time.

When they adjourned, the motion for a second revision of the proposal was on the floorfor consideration. Other actions taken by the board last Tuesday and Wednesday were: 1) A requestby the College Christian Fellowship for $235 to help send seven members to summer conferences wasgranted. 2) A motion was passed to cover the expenses of the all-school mixer which the administrationheld this summer. This was requested by Dr. Haggard. 3) An addition $440 was cut from the proposed1954-55 budget, leaving $2,558.56 in excess of estimated income.

Such arecommendaiton would require an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the total members. Since this latestrescinding motion was a 5-to-5 tie, the chair again had * to cast a vote. Henry Howe, ASB president,voted in favor of rescinding. This was directly opposite to his tie-breaking vote the week before. Theamendment also, if passed, would have subjected appointed student members to the same recallmethods that now apply to elected members only. A motion is now on the floor, to put only this part ofthe amendment on next fall's ballot. The board will act on this standing motion at the next regularmeeting. ONLY PART REQUESTED The money granted to CCP is part of $1,300 which is budgeted forsending delegates to various organization conferences. Board-member Carole Diers, who made therequest, said that this was only to cover part of the costpthe remainder to be paid by the delegates.Because the board had already agreed to pay for a summer mixer each year, they agreed to pay for theone held at the beginning of this quarter, as requested by College President Haggard. Henry Howe,ASB president said, however, that he would write a letter to the College President requesting suchrequests be made in advance of the expenditure.

Leaving Bellingham harbor, the travellersran into rough water which continued until the skipper could pilot his ship to the protected side of theislands. Several passengers were uncomfortable during the squall, but no one was forced to the rail.Two buses were waiting for the party when it landed; one bound for the internationally known Bu-chartGardens and the other for a three hour tour of "the most English city in North America." Many of theparty found shopping in,Victoria to their taste and stormed the down town shopping districts. Mostperplexing feature of this spree was that only ten dollars worth of goods may be* taken out of the cityon a one day visit. Shopping boiled down to finding the place where one could purchase the most for theleast. At 4:45 when all were present and acounted for, the "Virginia V" took a sharp about face andheaded for Bellingham.

"'";'. The students of Western have owned the property for quite a while, butin the past few years a drive has been underway to improve the property and services to the students atthe property. $4,000 SPENT Student monies expended on Lakewood in the last two years haveamounted to almost $4,000. " ~ These monies have gone to improve the grounds, reshingle the cabinroof, improve the float, and, among other things/to buy two sturdy, lightweight rowboats for cjse at theproperty. The property iVbeautiful, and conducive to relaxation. Projected long-range plans contemplatedwould make the property even more beautiful and useful. However, you, the students must find out foryourselves the worth of Lakewood, and us© it for your moments of relaxation, or the expenditure cannot be justified. ScribejPraises Students' Vim And Vitality Despite Rain (Comments oh the weather by agraduate student deeply concerned with thesis writing.) "Everyone talks about the weather but nobodydoes anything about it," was the observation of a famous man on a subject which has been discussedcontinually this summer quarter by faculty and students of WWO. In the light of recent at-empts toinfluence the weather by spraying dry ice into cloud banksl, that comment may seem antiquated. Yet, itis apparent that everyone would like to do something about it2. Since the first returning teacher set herbooted foot on the campus this summer and squinted with rapturous eyes through the swirling rainand fog for a glimpse of her beloved Alma Mater, the weath e r h a s been such as to discourage adetermined Yaghan3. We have experienced singly and en masse conditions of rain, wind, fog, frost,sleet, hail and a small tornado4. It is a tribute to all that such weather has failed to lessen the resolve ofstudents or kill the zeal of professors. Classes have continued as usual, wind-whipped scholarsarriving in sou'westers and tin pants5, and cruises, hikes and parties have been held every weekend.At present the weatherman offers no encouragement. A recent forecast tells of continued rain andwind. When and if the sun shines again it will find the soggy student body of Western as happy asstrawberry growers6. 1.

Dr. BeckGives WWCE Students Brief on Life in Indonesia Tuesday night, June 29, Dr. Brewster introduced tothe audience, Dr. Lester Beck the second Artist and Lecture series guest for the summer. Dr. Beck is aprofessor of Psychology and Cinema at University of Southern California, a former member of theAcademy Award committee and has been a member of the American Medical AssociationPsychology Board. Dr. Beck opened the program with a thirty minute talk, explaining the first reel offilm, and a brief history on how he came to make the film. Between reels he gave an explanation of the second reel. The film was on Indonesia and it stressed the independence of that country, and thefighting that led to it. Most of the government officials of Indonesia got,their positions as a result of thisfighting and most of them are under 40 years old. An interesting sidelight of the film was the dress,dances, music, and religion of the country. The Moslem religion is in the majority but there is spatteringof Hindu and Christian.

Speaking for several other students besidesmyself, we wonder if something can be done about placing signs and labels on buildings and doors tohelp us find our way about. V-•'"''.', Students here for the first time would like to see a detailed map of the campus placed in the main hall of the main building. Then, a heat, small sign placed hear theentrance of each building, would be a big help. Inside rthe PE building, there is need of labels oh thedoors.-On the first day of family, swimming, no less than three times did women enter the men'sdressing room when looking for the pool or" other dressing rooms. We were advised duringrecreation assembly to climb to the top of Sehome hill, but when we tried to find the road, there wasno sign to guide us. Why can't a committee be appointed to work 'with a class in lettering and seethat some signs be placed where needed? Sincerely, Derce Rowland * (Ed. note: A campus map isbeing prepared, according to the public information officer, and may be ready for distribution beforethe end of the quarter.) Ma's Sibling Tells How to Keep Cool By AUNT SADIE During the summermonths the family will be thrilled at mealtime if the clever homemaker can serve refreshments which areboth refreshing and novel. Sorting through some of my grandmother's old recipes the other, day, Idiscovered just what the family will welcome with sighs of contentment. Not only that, but I'm sure thatfather will be particularly pleased when he is told the cost, which is very, very low. The ingredients and procedure used are very similar to that when making home root beer, but grandmother's one twist,she was very clever in the kitchen, gave it a taste all of its own. Speaking of twists, reminds me of ahickory root pudding grandmother used to make and serve With teetles, those mouthwatering tidbits that you very seldom see these days but I remember them well; I'll have to see if I can't find that recipe andgive it to you later, have I aroused your curiosity? I'm afraid I'm wandering from the new, or maybe Ishould say old, recipe that I've been promising you. Well, here it is, Oh I just know you and your fam* ily will be intoxicated with it. I know I am. Pour ten gallons of w a t er into a large container, dissolvesugar, malt and yeast in the water and stir until it is thoroughly mixed. Do not be frightened if a littlefoam arises. Let set for 4 days, pour the liquid into clean bottles, cap and wait approximately two daysbefore serving* The, two day wait gives it an opportunity to age.

Two* watermelons served as" a fitting conclusion. cl QUESTION ARISES A letter of resignation,submitted by Mike O'Sammon, brought up a question of procedure that has troubled the board on pastoccasions. The question is: Does the BOC have the power to not accept a member's resignation? Thequestion came up last quarter concerning Bob Dunlap, but was not actually resolved since Dunlapwithdrew his resignation after reconsidering. At present the matter is still in question.AMENDMENT PROPOSED The most hotly debated issue of the evening resulted from a motion madeby Dunlap, He moved to amend Article XII of the ASB Constitution by deleting the words "elected bythe Association." At present the article reads: "The Board of Control shall provide for a recall election ofany officer on the Board of Control elected by the Association whenever petitioned by ten (10) percent ofthe number voting at the presidential election. Officers may be removed from office by a majority voteof the members of the Association." The need for some kind of a change here is obvious, but whatthat change is to be has become a major controversy on the board. There arc two changes which wouldbe effected by Dunlap's proposed amendment: (1) Appointed board members (there are seven on theboard at present) could be removed from office by a' recall election, and (2) faculty members sitting on the board could be removed by the same machinery. At present there is no such machinery in the constitution. It seems particularly significant tfow when a strong majority of the BOC is composed ofthese, at present, "untouchable members;" QUESTION PERENNIAL This is another case of theperennial conflict between "free student government" and "administration control." Specifically, thereare two opposing opinions. One, is( shared, in part at least, by six student members — that is, sixmembers voted for Dunlap's motion. The oth er was voiced by the two faculty paper—give them yourbusiness members present and supported the voting by two student inembe Dunlap's viewpoint is appro: mately as follows: Without regs to whether there will ever b e am for such action, there is an ethireason for having the machinery removing any board member by call election-—faculty members ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 July 2 - Page 3 ---------- One of the sites to be viewed by participants in the three day cruise this weekend Is Deception Passpictured above.

This trip should be of particular interest to thosestudents who are newcom- TRY OUR DRIVE-IN CASH AND CARRY MILK PLAN Save 14c a GallonHillview Dairy 1824 Cornwall Avenue We Serve Lunches and Refreshments ers to the area. StuartPresk, summer recreation program director, when asked to comment on the coming excursion, said,"The most outstanding feature of this weekend's cruise is the cost, which is $7.50. This priceincludes seven meals and complete accommodations for all attending. The only additional expensewill be for sleeping bag rental. The trip, in fact, is so inexpensive that a person can't afford to pass itup. You can't live in town that cheaply on a three day weekend." TO SAIL SATURDAY The party willsail from Belling-ham harbor on Saturday morning aboard the "Discovery," the Bell-irigham Sea Scoutship. The major portion of the first day will be spent cruising through the islands and viewing thespectacular sights they possess, such as Swinpmish Slough and Deception Pass. ;: ; Deception Passis a narrow body of water which separates Whidbey island from the mainland and also connects PugetSound with the Pacific ocean. It gives the appearance of a calm and peaceful river flowing to the sea but, as its name implies, looks are -deceiving. Decep- VIENNA CLEANERS, INC.

This will be an added treat, as it was not included in theoriginal planning of the menu. The party will break camp after breakfast on Monday morning inpreparation for further cruising among the western islands and then back into Bellingham harbor andjourney's end. Sailing time was not known when the paper went to press, but Fresk would like to assureall those going on the cruise that it will be posted on the official bulletin in ample time for necessarypreparation.

The brand of baseball played in these intramtiraT games is not of such caliberthat it should scare off anybody who is interested in forming a team.

Monday Through Saturday ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 July 2 - Page 4 ---------- Vet's une Held Due to Late Beginning Alteration in the payment of the first summer school check forVeterans under Public School Law 550 is due to section 2 of the regulations pertaining tocertification of training. Section 2 states that "if the veteran commences training on or after the 20th(1st term began June 21) of the month the certification of training for the rest of that month shall beincluded in the report for the following month." Dr. Kuder, Director of Student Personnel Services, wasinformed of this section of the certification by the Veteran's Regional office in Seattle. Actually this policy has been in effect for some time, but because past quarters haven't began after the 20th of any month it hasn't affected Veterans under the 550 law. Veterans under'Public Law 550 who were in school duringSpring quarter should receive a check covering the period June 1 through 9 sometime around themiddle of July, stated Mrs. Phyllis Hardie, secretary to Dr. Kuder.

Despite threateningweather, an enthusiastic group of 26 hikers left the school at nine o'clock for their destination, which was the look-out on top of Devil's Mountain. SPANIEL JOINS Upon departure from the bus, the party wasjoined by its twenty-seventh member, an energetic Springer Spaniel, who proved to be a most interesting traveling-fellow. He remained with the group throughout the entire course of the trip. Although therewere many inexperienced hikers on the trek, everyone managed somehow to reach the top of themountain. When the peak had been scaled, lunch was eaten. VIEW OBSCURED The view which isusually seen from the vantage point at the lookout was not visible due to the overhanging clouds.The mountains were shrouded in haze and the islands could barely be made out in the distance. Soonafter lunch the party started wending its way down the slopes. On the way down several members of thegroup explored the shaft of an abandoned nickel mine which was not far from the trail. At about 3:30 theweary troupe piled into the bus, bade the Springer Spaniel "fond ado" and set out for home and a good hot shower. By the time the bus had reached Mount Vernon, where a short stop was made for refueling(ice cream cones and hot dogs), the rain, which had threatened*since early in the day, started to fall.more first meet (Continued from Page 1) tion, will address the meeting at 11:30 a. m. on "TheChallenges to School Administrators McNamara and Dr. Ross are in charge of planning the program.Featuring . . .

The plan calls for theconstruction of a science building, a health center, an addition to the PE building, a classroombuilding and a student union building." The proposed facilities will be necessary to accommodate theanticipated increase in enrollment. In addition to the building program, an agreement with Jones Bindon, Seattle architects, for the designing of the new addition to Edens hall was signed, andcontracts for summer renovation pro-pects were approved. A new hot water system in the PEbuilding, repair of the quarter-mile athletic track, and purchase and surfacing of additional parkingspace were the projects authorized by the board to be completed. Changes in faculty for the ensuing year were also attended to during the meeting. Mr. Bernard Reg-ier, music department, who isplanning to study at the University of Southern California, will be replaced by Mr. Richard Paige,Columbia University. J. O. L. Saunders of the University of Wyoming was' employed in theeducation department, replacing Dr. Paul Wood-ring, who is on a leave of absence to teach atCarleton College, Minnesota.

AWriter on a wide variety of educational subjects, Dr. Langeveld is a specialist in child growth anddevelopment. He conducts a private child guidance clinic, and has served as adviser to the Queen ofHolland with respect td the education of the Princesses. - During World War II the educator was aleader in the Dutch underground. His habit of educational thought is sympathetic to that of America.Dr. Langveld can converse in four languages, a n d speaks English fluently. In 1948 Dr. Langeveldparticipated in the Unesco Seminar on the Training and Education of Teachers, held in England. Hislecture and consultant services to the seminar were notably successful. The speaker will come to t h eState of Washington froni Iowa State University. Prior to his appearance at Western WashingtonCollege, he will spend two days on the campus at Washington State College "and a day atCentral'Washington college of Education. The following topics have been selected for Dr. Langveld'saddresses -in Bellirigham: 1. Emotional Difficulties in Learning. 2. The Influences of His FamilyUpon the Child. 3. What the School Does to the Child's Development. '-_ •-'• "Dr.r Langeveld Is oneof the most distinguished foreign visitors to' appear at Western Washington College of Education,"says President Haggard: of the Dutch educator.

It wasreported that one of the two row boats at the Lakewood cabin is now somewhere else. It is estimatedthat the boat disappeared either Thursday or Friday morning. In an attempt to locate it, an ad j go toSan Francisco, has been run in the Bellingham Herald and the Whatcom County Sheriff has beennotified. Wil Knutson, Carol Diers, Bob Dunlap and Tom Manney toured the shore-line of the lake in case the boat had been set adrift. There was no indication of anyone having broken into the cabin in whichthe boat is kept. Several keys were, checked out during this period, but these have been checked.There were no new developments on this Thursday afternoon. Dateline.. Saturday, July 24—Vancouver,B.

Queen Sigrid XVII will reign over the two days of festivities and hold her annual ball in the armory as the finale of the autumn pageant. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 July 23 - Page 2 ---------- Many Pay for Carelessness of Few "that ten percent!" A howl often heard in the armed forces of theUnited States is taken up at Western. In every social group there is always a small group who don'tbother to get the "word" or don't think the rules apply to them. Sometimes these thoughtless, "superior"people cause little trouble; other times the results are serious. This is one of the latter case. Out at thestudent's property on Lake Whatcom, there is a light-weight, moulded plywood boat, easy to row, easy tohandle, waiting to be used. There used to be two. The other is somewhere else. Where? Now that's agood question. It could be in the middle of Lake Whatcom, filled with water, the last boatman restingpeacefully because of carelessness. Or, because someone was careless, and found themselves too farfrom the property when it became dark or too windy, it coulcj be pulled into shore almost anywhere onthe lake. - Or (let's face it) someone could have lifted it to the top of his car and taken it home. Whatever happened, the many suffer because of the antics of the few. There's another saying in the ArmedForces: "Thafs the way the ball bounces/' A lt;S*L Singer Rewards Audience With Variety of QualitiesBy DOROTHY HARRISON A small but. appreciative audience was well rewarded by attending the fifthconcert of the Summer Quarter Artist Series at Western Washington College Tuesday night. Thosewho had other engagements missed a most enjoyable evening's entertainment by a young man with agreat, deal of personality and a voice of naturally pleasing quality, which had the added advantage ofbeing well trained. Mr. -Gramm is a bass-baritone whose extensive range is well produced throughoutand' whose diction, whether it be in English, French, Italian or German, is so clear that every syllableis easily understood. A further attribute is the tone control by which the young artist produced somelovely piano passages, that were completely free of vibrato, with equal facility as the more robustphrases calling for full voice. OPENS WITH ARIA* The program opened with Lully's "Aria de Caron,"from Alcestes, the song of the boatman who ferries souls across the River Styx; followed by the beautiful and plaintive "Plaisir d'Amour," by Martini. A change of mood described how man is made for womanand woman for man, in Purcell's rolicking "Man and Woman" and the group closed with "Oh, FellowMan" from the Marriage of Figaro by Mozart. Mr. Gramm's return to the stage marked a series ofserenades which employed the quiet beauty of voice already mentioned. "Deh vieni al' finestra" byMozart, in which Don Giovanni sings his love, the lovely "Berceuse" 'by Gounod, "Mephisto's Serenade'"from Berlioz" Damnation of Faust, the Schubert "Serenade" and the equally familiar "Ver-geblichesStandchen" in which Brahms has his lover plead to be let in before his love freezes to death, * to whichhis lady replies through the closed door that if his love is so fragile he had better go home to bed.DVORAK SONGS * A group of Gypsy songs by Dvorak followed,, which included "I Sing My Songs,"The Forest Sleeps," the ever-popular "Songs My Mother Taught Me" and "High Up in the Mountain,'" allequally effective. In the modem bracket came four Tennessee Williams Blue Mountain Ballads, set tomusic by Paul Bowles, "Lonesome man,'" "Cabin,"' "Sugar in the Cane," and "Heavenly Grass," followed by John Duke's satirical -"Richard Cory" which tells of the rich, well-dressed man who is,the envy ofeveryone as he walks along the street on his way home to put a bullet through his brain, the group andthe concert concluding with a fascinating piece of modern gallantry entitled "I Rise When You Enter,"by Theodore Chanler, all of which drew most enthusiastic applause. PRESENTS "DRINKING SONG"Mr. Gramm was most generous with his encores, offering first Fal-staff's "Drinking Song," always afavorite, from Nicolai's "Merry Wives of Windsor," sung in German, two fast and amusing folk songs tohis own excellent accompaniment, and the John Charles Thomas favorite, "Donald and John and I."Throughout the program, with the exception of the two folk songs, Mr. Gramm received able support atthe piano from Robert Scandrett, whose sympathetic accompaniments faithfully followed each change of mood from opera to serenade to ballad and folk song, a feat in itself.

It seems important at this time to consider the intendedpurpose of the board and its specific duties. The ASB Constitution says, "The* — Organ VirtudscA lt;5K|_ Program For July 27 Claire Coci, brilliant organ virtu oso, will appear at WWC Tuesdaevening, July 27, to present the sixt program of the Summer A : series. Board of Control shall 'havegeneral supervision of all business and financial affairs, property and activities of this Association; itshall have the control of the disbursement of aH funds of this Association; it shall have the power toappoint, hire, and discharge any employees, appointees, or student managers." In brief then, themain purpose of the board is to handle the business of the student body. In line with this, theAssociated Student Body is a business and the responsibility for its operation belongs to the Board of Control. BUDGET PRIMARY At present, the biggest, job ber fore the board is to act on the budgetrequests/for next year. A perennial question regarding some items requested was again Crude ClamorConstrains Culture Crave The quest for culture, like the thirst for knowledge, is a driving thing. Peoplewho indulge in either usually do so with zeal and enthusiasm that books few obstacles. Ah, but thereare some things that can detract even the most avid seeker of "Kulture". Little things. A story here toillustrate. WHISPERING . . . and there was Donald Gramm, a wonderful bass-baritone, putting out withsome positively marvelous efforts, and pleasing everyone. But, to the right was this Whisperer. Mingledwith the rich tones of Mr. Gramm's fine voice would come the latest information on the state of Mary'spassionate love life. Or the fact that ". . . he's really 35 years old, and isn't it horrible because he looks like he's not more than 28, and I wish that he would stop looking at me . . ." PAPER RATTLES Thereis a strong urge to mutilate but being a brave seeker of Culture you fight it down and concentrate onthe music. Perhaps you can ignore the "whisperers" if you try hard enough—then another fouldistractant rears its hideous head. The Program-roller is among us. Ah, the tragedy of it all. A perfectevening ruined. The crinkle of tortured paper floats into your ears accompanied by Donald Grammsinging "Songs My Mother Taught Me." Then to add to the misery of it all comes the rarest, bird of all . .. the asthma sufferer. As our wonderful artist reaches for a magnificent note to climax a touchinglove serenade, Ol' Asthma says non-commitedly, "Aaaaaaaaah!" What a wonderful climax. Calculated to send shivers of "delight(?)" through anybody within a radius of 24 seats. Oh yes, CULTURE is so hard to come by. discussed last Wednesday. The question is this: If an item of equipment will be used forboth instruction nad entertainment, how much of its cost should be paid by the students and howmuch by the College administration? Specifically, this question arose regarding a tape recorderrequested by the music department. This recorder would be used for publicizing the choir, which isin the jurisdiction of the student body. But, it would also be used for instruction. COOPERATIONEVIDENT At the same meeting, the board approved their part of a cooperative plan on- a similarsituation. Under this arrangement, the "ASB will purchase a press camera, for which the College willprovide a photographer and all other necessary facilities. The College will save money by not having -tobuy a camera themselves, and the student publications will get their photographic work at a saying ofboth time and money. The initiative for this plan was taken by M. A. Allan, publications advisor. Heformulated a plan first, and then presented to the administration and to board for their consideration.With this he sent a letter explaining the Value of such a plan. In this instance, the board had sufficientinformation to act. It appears to this observer that if more departments made a point to accompany theirrequests with enough information for the board to evaluate, that more desires and needs could besatisfied. It would also take much pain out of the board's job on the budget. CLAIRE COCI Miss Cociwill thrill Bellinghai music lovers with her rich selectio of classical pieces.

Well it isn't all a bed of roses, according to RossDealy, Western summer student. Dealy, a native of Bow, Washing-on, and a graduate of Burlington high school, gave the following report in regard to a trip he made from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Santiago,Chile, across the Andes to Argentina and north into Brazil. Dealy made the Alaska trip in the summerof 1952 to work on a gold prospecting crew—operating a drill. After holding this job for a. short while, he had to head back to Dallas, Texas, for his second semester at Southern Methodist University. '" Uponthe completion of the school year at S.M.U., Ross again got the "Wander Lust" and sent for his brotherGlen in Burlington, Washington. The two met in Dallas and decided "to set out for a jaunt into SouthAmerica. They left aboard their trusty Indian cycles in June last year and returned to the U. S. seven and one-half months later.

After a mile and a half ona muddy track the group reached the cabin. The kitchen was found buried in four feet of snow, forunderneath it all, the roof had caved in. ' Three hours and half a dozen men later the fires were bringingthe old stove around to life, everything was back in shape, and everyone who was left standing satdown for a delightful sack lunch. Sunday was devoted to practice climbing. The group climbed toGrouse Ridge using all the techniques of the trade. Such things as roping up, belaying, and arrestingwere practiced. The descent to the cabin was a quick one. Being old hands at mountain climbing bythen, the pack used the old method of glissading to reach the bottom. This trick is accomplished bysitting on your "ice axe," and with your feet, sliding "three point" down the hill. Tickets for EmpireGames Sold Out Tickets which were available in the Recreation office for the British Empire GamesTrack and Field events have been sold out. There are very' few left for the swimming events. Mr. Stuart Presk says that he has been turning away as many as forty people a day who have decided too latethat they would like to take in the sports extravaganza of the British world. MILE BIG EVENT One of the big attractions of the Track and Fi ld events will be the mile run. Four men who have run the mile under- 4:02 are entered and the results of this event could be history in the making. John Landy, Australia, and Dr. Roger Banister, England, are the only men in track history to run the mile under 4 minutes. It isrumored that there is a big colored fellow from the Gold Coast who could make things pretty tough foreither of these stars. DAYLIGHT SAVING!

They were in fear ofbandits on most of the trip and received constant warnings, to stay off the roads at night. During astay in' Lima; Peru, the boys were separated from their passports and money, which were stolen. TheLima police, being.very afraid to offend anyone, tpok a rather passive interest in the search, but Rossand Glen were insisent. The hotel at which they stayed was searched and the lost goods were rercovered. From Lima to Cuzco, Peru, cap-itol of the Incas, Ross travelled the highest road in the world,reaching an altitude of over 16,000 feet (higher than Mt. Rainier). Ross was alone on this leg of thejourney because his brother's cycle had developed engine trouble and he had stayed behind for repairs.Dealy terms travelling this lofty single-lane path carved out of solid rock a "beautiful nightmare." At times there are sheer thousand foot drops, at the bottom of which a river trickles. "It left me breathless," hesays. Glen, caught up with Ross at Cuzco, where the boys were royally welcomed. Crowds ofthousands followed them in the streets. They were guests at the home of the "Music Director of AllCuzco," a high official among the Incas, ^ Here one of . the highlights .of the trip occurred. The twoadventurers were investigated for communism—"In a way that makes McCarthy look mild," claims.Dealy- "We :tvere shadowed by police every where we went; our rooms and belongings were ransacked,in a search for evidence; and we were extensively "questioned."'. . . . ..-.". ';;:;';' Southward from Peru,the pair entered Chile and travelled to Sanr tiago. There they lived for ten.days on one dollar. Here, asthroughout the entire trip, they were welcomed whole-heartedly by the natives, who insisted that theboys share food and lodging without charge. Following advice of the Santiago Auto club, the boystravelled southward- through Chile as far as they could go, turning eastward through the southernmostmountain pass to Argentina. This pass was snowbound for about a mile, so the Dealys dragged theirmachines that distance through 17 foot drifts, assisted the latter part-by some friendly Argentines.Argentine Dictator Juan Peron, a motorcycle enthusiast, granted the boys a personal interview, whichwas arranged by the American Consul. Peron, who champions himself as "Man of the People," told the boys he would grant any wish they wanted. They asked to be ferried across the Rio de ia Platta intoUruguay, Argentina's arch enemy. It was granted* Driving along the north Atlantic coast of Brazil, theboys ran out of highway and took to the packed beaches. Motor failure, teamed with a rising tide andmammoth waves nearly washed them into a lagoon in the most nerve-racking experience of the entiretrip. "Brazillian's were very friendly," reports Ross. "They nearly mobbed iisSv with kindness. In someplaces theyihad to be restrained by police as we rode into town. I guess we looked pretty odd by thetime we'd travelled that tax." ! The Brazilian Air Force flew them into the interior to visit new airportsbeing carved out of the jungle. They saw wild, naked Indians living iike: animals in the forest. "I think weare the first visitors ever allowed t^ make such a trip," Dealy says. ' ; ;^e;boys had to sell theirmotorcycles in Rio to obtain passage money home. "During the seven ahd one-half month trip ourspeedometers logged 25,000 miles," Ross reports.

Mr. Fresk had promised that this cruise would be successful, whereas the first one only managed to get four feet from the dock due to engine trouble. All Fresk had to say was, "My face is red." Well, last Wednesday's debacle didn't even leave the dock. One of the Discovery's engines stubbornly refused to turn over and the party didn't have a chance to get aboard. Fresk's mottoseems to be, "if, at first you don't succeed, try, try again," and this is what he plans to do. "I just hopethe students bear with me," he says.

Some of thepossibilities for these (Continued on page 4) Dr. Haggard, who felt the purchase of these items wasrightfully the responsibility of the College administration. Dr. Haggard further stated in an interviewyesterday, that he hoped to have a joint committee from the ASB and the Administration compile alist of such, borderline items, and assign responsibility for their purchase. Wil Knutsen, chairman ofstudent facilities committee, also reported on the progress of work being done on the Lakewoodproperty. SUGGEST KEROSENE The committee, according to Knutsen, recommended the boardabandon any _plans for installing electric lights at the cabin. Instead, they suggested kerosene lanternsbecause of the expense. Knutsen also reported that the row boat which is missing from the LakeWhatcom property, is not insured against theft. The committee is investigating the cost of suchinsurance for the rest of the student- owned property.

William Masselos, pianist, will appear at the College auditorium Tuesday,August 3, as a part of the Summer quarter A L series. Mr. Masselos, still in his twenties, has wonmany honors at the famed Juilliard School of Music where he received his musical training. In the pastfew years Mr. Masselos has traveled throughout the United States and Canada performing beforevaried and critical audiences. Besides going on this extensive concert tour, Mr. Masselos has mademany radio and television appearances as well as making records for both MGM and Columbia."VIRTUOSITY . . . TREMENDOUS" Marjory Fisher of the San Francisco News, described Mr.Masselos' virtuosity as tremendous. This assertion made by one of the foremost music critics onthe West Coast will be illustrated Tuesday evening. To discerning Bellingham music lovers WilliamMasselos will play selections of lasting interest. The first portion of his progrm consists of variations on a theme by Bach, Liszt. Following this selection comes "Kreisleriana" by Schumann which wasdescribed by Eric Mc- (Continued on page 4) of the British Empire Games and is slated to participate inthe discus event on Tuesday, August 3. The Ray Ciszek coached discus hurler, hailing from NewWestminster, B. C, won his spot in this event against the British Empire's best. FOUR LETTER MAN Swalwell came to Western in the fall of 1951. He has earned letters in football, basketball, baseball and track. His outstanding performances have been in the latter. .He holds the Evergreen Conferencediscus record, which he set l a st spring in the All-Conference meet at Tacoma. Two other Westernthinclads were in the time trials for the running events, but neither made the grade. Jerry Swan, also from New Westminster, B. C, ran a 4:20 mile, his best time to date, but failed to qualify. Ted Whan, highpoint man of the '54 Viking tracksters, who makes his home in Victoria, B. C, entered the trials in the440 yard dash, the 220 low hurdles, and the broad jump. His times also failed to meet the requirements. Dutch Educator Completes Tour of Campus Dr. Martin J.

" This is the reason the Summer quarter Writer,Western's literary magazine, was folded for the summer by its editorial staff last Tuesday afternoon. Anexperimental activity, the Summer edition was to be an extension of the regular Writer put out during theregular school year. It was an attempt to furnish summer school students with an opportunity to see their work in print, and to all of them to get their literary ideas before the public NO IDEAS? The questionarises, do the Summer school students have any ideas? The showing makes it seem improbable. Surely, people who have been teaching for a number of years have something to say about life or some facetthereof, whether in poetry, fiction, or essay. Or maybe the reason is just lethargy. - ' _ We may find outin a number of years when another idealistic young man comes forward to make another try. Composer of Traditional Song Reminisces on Days of Yore By SANDEE HARTSPIELD High above the bay's bluewaters, Stands our own Sehome. Guarded all around by mountains Crowned by Baker's dome. I wonder how many of us know who wrote this song we sing each year as our Alma Mater? I met her the otherday and was fascinated by her story. She was Miss Ada Hogle when she wrote our school song. -Shewrote the song for a farewell to some students she had taught for four consecutive years. They liked it so well, that in 1915, it was adopted as the Alma Mater for Western. RETIRED Not long after this MissHogle retired from her position of teaching in the Art and Industrial Arts department and went to New York. One of her sttidents was Miss Hazel Breakey, who will soon retire from the Art department. InNew York she met and married Frederick B. Abbott. They lived in New England until several years laterwhen they returned together to Bellingham and built a home Which Mrs. Abbott designed on the site ofwhat is now 513 High street. I.visited her and was amazed and awed by her home which is a veritablemuseum. It is furnished in a way which to the casual onlooker would appear to be modest. She showedme a tiny melodeon which is over a hundred years old. She pointed out a hand-painted steel engraving of Franklin in the French Court, also over a century old. Her floors are covered with hooked rugs whichshe made. All around the spacious living room and dining room are carved pieces of furniture that eithershe or her late husband made. The walls are brightened by oil paintings she has painted over the years. Her house is like something out of * Joanna Spyri book for children. The chalet-like structure "of thehouse combines with its landscape to isolate it from the busy life around it. Outside, instead of theformal gardens common to our culture, she has the natural flowers of our state growing at will.Although now widowed and living alone, Mrs. Abbott is far from a lady of leisure. She is kept busy withher club work and does art work for different clubs around town. She has designed some stained glass windows depicting the Washington state flowers for the Bellingham Museum. She speaks of doing anew painting of the lovely lilacs which bloom annually in her back yard. She displayed a hospitalityincomparably warm, and invited me to visit her and bring my friends. She also finds it a little hard tobelieve that WWC is still using her song, as a few years ago there was a controversy as to whether ornot it would be kept as our Alma Mater. I think we are all rather glad it was kept. The Bride SpeaksThe Mountain stands. What riches held within its care I cannot tell. I only go with pick in hand To dig for golden ore. Your dear voice calls. What mysteries that love can hold I am not sure. I only trust, as youcommand, We find its wealth secure. Life's long road bends. What lies for us beyond that turn I wish Iknew. I only hope, as hand in hand I take this path with you. —Mary McCollum Martin.

Adviser - •• - Pat A , l an Across The Board:Deficient Laws Are Hindrance To Efficient Legislation By TOM MANNEY Man, it seems, is a law-making animal. Maybe not all men, but at least the men who look to the Romans for part of their background do, and that's us. Also, we are law-breaking animals, and consequently, law-enforcing animals. It all seemsto be part of the proverbial, vicious circle, and sane or not, that's the way we are. • It follows then, thatas the members of the Board of Control are men (embracing women), so they are law-making, law-breaking and law-enforcing animals. This, by definition. What all this means is that when the BOC isn'tcutting the budget (and even then sometimes) it is making, breaking and enforcing laws. This is not tobe criticized—it's cultural. But it is of value to understand how and why these laws are used and mis-used. THREE DOCUMENTS USED But enough of these generalizations. Specifically, there are threesets of laws which are. intended to govern the Board of Control. They are: (1) The ASB Constitution, (2)The ASB By-laws, and (3) "Sturgis Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure." Theoretically, thesethree documents cover any situation t h at arises. "In all matters not governed by its constitutionand by-laws this organization shall be govern-; ed by Sturgis . . ." according to article 7 of the By-laws.Theory, however, does not always conform to fact, and such was the case at the board meeting lastWednesday. The problem was this: Wil Knutson made a point of order that he did not believe a certain motion was legal, according to parliamentary procedure. None of the three documents mentionedabove either affirm or refute Knutson's position. "Sturgis" does say, however, "As soon as the member has stated the point of order, the chairman must 'rule' on it . . . or he may refer the matter to theassembly for a decision . . . " Chairman Henry Howe referred this question to the board, and theboard upheld Knutson's point of order. Thus, in effect, it was necessary to make a new law to fit theoccasion. PROBLEM NOT CRITICISM This observer, and others at the meeting, cannot see that that the BOC is either given or denied this power. In a word, there is a crippling deficiency in the lawsgoverning Board of Control procedure. The present board is aware of this deficiency, and I repeat thatthis is not intended as a criticism of any one or all of the present members. I have devoted "Across theBoard" to this problem because I feel that it is as important to every member of the student body as itis to any member of the board. THE BOC DECODES HOW MONEY WILL BE SPENT. The laws they work by, effect the results they achieve. SOLUTION INDICATED No immediate solution has beenofficially suggested to date. However, a plan proposed by Dr. Van Aver is scheduled for considerationat the beginning of next fall quarter. The plan would provide for a group separate from the board to decide questions of interpretation of constitutional and procedural issues. An occurance at lastWednesday's meeting suggested to this reporter that an impartial, disinterested arbitrator (orarbitrators) could be invaluable on such technical questions. Dr. MacPhail sat on the boardWednesday in Dr. Critchfield's place. Since it was his first meeting, he was unfamiliar with thebackground of opinion, and therefore, necessarly objective. "I'm here only in an advisory capacity," hesaid, and he limited his comment to technical procedure. Advice of this nature, from this observer's viewpoint, is the kind that will be effective.

By TOM MANNEY Usually when a graduate comeshome to Western for summer quarter it is not considered news. But when that graduate is StuartFresk, and he is here as Director of the Summer Recreation program, then big news is in the making. A brief glance at the recreation schedule for this summer will show the extent and variety of the newdirector's ambition. A short visit will prove that he has an abundance of enthusiasm and experience todraw upon in carrying out the program. Fresk is an outdoor man by choice and habit. It began, herecalled, here at Western, when his roommate made a photographer out of him. M. A. Allan, Assistant Professor of Journalism here, was that roommate. Since then Fresk has collected more than 2,000pictures of the Northwest's o u t d o o r recreation spots. Hiking, skiing and fishing he selects as his own preferences, and he has been to about every place on this summer's program. His home is in Longview, Wash., where he teaches photography and music in the junior high school. He lists the lack of exercise as the main drawback of teaching, and offers this as another interest in outdoor recreation.Featuring . . . COSTUME JEWELRY F. STANLEY NORMAN Jeweler Hotel Leopold Lobby Ph. 374 This is the first year Fresk has been here since 1950, and his first year as director of the recreation program. He has assisted in the program, however, since his undergraduate years. There are also two youngMr. Fresks, both of whom are learning to appreciate the outdoor Northwest at the rugged ages of three and six. Fresk has lived in the Northwest since he was four. He says he feels like a native, and it'seasy to tell that he talks like one. As a regular student Fresk was a feature writer on the Collegian staffand also worked on campus day skits, among other activities. Needless to say, he also worked on the Summer Recreation program. Party Exhibits Acquired Skill By RODGER WILLIAMS At 11 a. m.Sunday, July 25, 24 leg weary but determined Western mountaineers stood atop Mt. Baker. Thismarked the 34th time representatives of WWC have surmounted the 10,827 ft. peak. SMALLPARTY The size of the party was small compared to the size of some previous expeditions to thesummit. In 1919^ when the first successful climb was made, 77 people reached the top. In 1921, 96made the climb. From Kulshan cabin, which served as base camp for the climb, the party began their8% hour upward journey. At 2:30 a. m. the group left the cabin. The light from a silver moon helpedthem find their way across the lower glaciers until the sun came up at approximately 4 a. m. As the sunrose above the horizon, its light, falling on the hikers, cast long eerie shadows that disappeared at timesinto bottomless blue crevasses. NO HINDRANCES Though there were many fierce looking obstaclesin view, none of any consequence hindered the party from reaching the top. In fact, record time wasmade to "The Saddle," the final ridge up which the final straight line approach to the top is made. * Atthe saddle, which was the first outcropping of rock the climbers encountered since the very outset of thejourney, ropes which had been used on hazardous areas below were shed, and lunch was eaten.This was the first time many of the members of the group had (Continued on Page 4) HANDW0VENSSKIRTS, STOLES GIFT ITEMS JUST 3 BLOCKS DOWN FROM COLLEGE CLAIRE NIX 510 StatePhone 3607-R Keep Washington Green •CRUSH YOUR SMOKES Sponsored by PREVENTFOREST FIRES!

In his introduction, Dr. W. W. Haggard, president of the College,stated that Miss Coci, who was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, became a church organist at the age of sixteen, progressing from that point until now she stands at the peak of her profession. In Bellingham,Dr. Haggard bracketed her with E. Power Biggs and Virgil Fox, both of whom have been heard on thesame instrument. COCI VIRTUOSO Miss Coci played a terrific program with power and a highdegree of virtuosity. Opening with the Vivaldi-Bach "Concerto No. 11," Op. 3 in D Minor was a happychoice since it gave a foretaste of the exciting fare to follow, with its four movements, Grave, Fugue,Largo and Allegro. The dolorous "Choral Prelude" Opus 122, No. 9 of Johannes Brahms with its quietbeauty and lovely harmony led into the delicate, tinkling phrases of three of Haydn's little gems, theMinuette, Allegro and Andante from "The Musical Clocks," written in 1742. The fourth number was asubstitution. Instead of the programmed Andriessen "Chorale," Miss IRA YEAGER SPORTINGGOODS EVERYTHING FOR YOUR HUNTING FISHING NEEDS *EVINRUDE MOTORS * REINELLBOATS 1313V2 State St. IN BELLINGHAM NEWBERRY'S Coci played the, to quote her owndsecription, "Monumental" B Minor "Chorale" of Cesar Franck, composer and teacher of the organ. Itwas her wish that it should leave a spiritual message with her hearers. Miss Coci next turned to twoworks of Marcel Dupre, the French organist and composer with whom she studied, "Filause" (Suite Bret-onne), an intricate work on the order of a perpetuum mobile, with a sotto voce interpolation, followedby a set of eleven variations on a French Christmas carol, which the artist explained was written during a tour of the United States, each variation representing a different city. LISZT IN 4 Listz's "Preludeand Fugue on BACH," the four letters representing the four notes in the German scale, B flat, A, Cand B natural, which is represented by H in German. The spectacular result is Liszt at hiscomplicated best, with chords, pedal interludes, scale passages, the hands running contrapuntally andin unison, and a brief period of calm leading to the final massive chords. The almost ecclesiastical"Chant de Paix" by Langlois employed the Vox Humana to a throbbing accompaniment forming astriking contrast to the final number, Leo Sowerby's powerful "Pageant," in which a quiet theme wasintroduced by the pedals, developed on the manuals, gradually building to a martial finale which closed on a dissonant chord. Miss Coci was most generous with her encores, playing "The Mist," by Doty;Daquin's "The Cuckoo," in answer to a request; the Third Toccata of Henri Dallier and finally, the"Fugue on Frescobaldi," also by Langlais, which Miss Coci said had been described by a southerncritic as a "feat for the feet" since it is played entirely on the pedals. With that the audience permittedthe lights to be dimmed and the concert to come to a close. Holly's Men's Shop SUMMERFURNISHINGS for MEN 106 W.

These are the two main questions for which the Collegian staff hasbeen looking for answers. They have been doing this by means of a readership survey poll. Such a poll consists of a few people asking a lot of people what they read and what they would like to read. Theyhope to interview 200 Collegian readers selected as much at random as possible, hoping that thesewill be representative of all readers. The purpose of the survey is ultimately to improve the contentsof the Collegian. That is, to give the readers what they want to read. Whether or not enough significantinformation will be revealed from this poll is not certain. The results will be printed in the Collegian. TheCollegian staff is grateful to those students who made this survey possible through their cooperation, and to Dr. Budd in the Research? department, whose suggestions and assistance wereindispensable.

Steps had to be chopped in the face of the steepest part,known as the "Roman Wall." At what appeared to be the top many groans of disappointment were heard as the party found they had to cross a large expanse of nearly level snow field to reach the smallhaystack which marked the top. WEATHER GOOD Marvelous weather accompanied the ascent.According to some of. the veteran climbers, the conditions of visibility exceeded those of any previousclimb they had made. From the summit one could see the San Juan islands to the west; Mt. Rainier tothe south; and the Frazer river in Canada to the north.

Approximately 1,200 students are registered for the first term and 100 more areexpected for second term. This total is about 100 more than were enrolled last summer and the same aslast spring quarter. Twenty-five states, ^territory, and 4 foreign countries have representative studentsenrolled at WWC. Washington leads with 918, California follows with 17 and the rest of the states aredistributed about evenly with Mississippi at the bottom with 1. Canada is outstandingly in front of the foreign countries with a total of 30. Of the 918 from Washington, 33 High School Grads Receive MusicGrants Thirty-three high school graduates of the class of '54 recently received music scholarshipsfrom WWC. At an audition early in June candidates for these music grants exhibited their talentbefore a committee composed of members of Western's Music department. Scholarships weregranted to those with either outstanding scholastic ability or a high recommendation from teachersand high school principals. These grants entitle the recipient to one year of free musical instruction. Only in exceptional cases is a four-year scholarship presented. The following are the students who havereceived music scholarships this year: Arlene H. Allsopp, Edmonds, flute; Nancy Bergeson, EverettJunior college, organ; Shirley Bjorgen, Mount Vernon, violin; Alvin A. Bridge, Bellingham, drums; Carol M.

ASB President Announces Board Vacancy Applications arebeing accepted for the vacancy on the Board of Control, left by the resignation of Mike 0'Sammon,„Henry Howe announced this week. Applications will be accepted until 1 p. m. Wednesday. Lettersshould be placed in the ASB mail box. It is important that applicants observe business-letterconventions, the ASB president urged. To be eligible for the position a student must have at least a 2.3cumulative grade point average. He must also be enrolled for at least 12 hours during the quarter,according to Article VI of the ASB constitution. This opening is for the rest of the summer quarteronly. Parking Space Survey Shows Enough Room From the looks of the number of cars in ' and around the college campus one would suppose that the need would soon arise to begin stacking them twodeep. This crowded situation at closer glance, however, might be easily alleviated by making full use ofall the college parking areas. On High street behind MRH there are two parking areas; one on the roadlevel, and another above it on top of the knoll overlooking the back of the building. These areas, togetherwith the already well-used ones, will easily fill the parking requirements of all commuters. This factwas established by a survey conducted by the college after the first week of summer school. Anadditional parking area is being cleared and surfaced just south of the Arts building and east of theathletic field. According to Dr. Haggard the area will provide parking space for 50 cars. The area will be ready for use by fall quarter. The plan was for this new area to be ready for use by summer students,but a delay in the release of funds from Olympia has made the completion of the project difficult.GREETING—Don Patterson, president-elect of Eastern Washington College of Education, and formerWestern student, is greeted by President W.

The Board of Control, Wednesday, reconsidered themotion passed last week to amend the ASB constitution. This amendment, to be decided by thestudent body next fall, would have provided the means for recall of all BOC members, faculty included,by a vote of the student body. This motion was rescinded. In its place the board passed the motion toput on the next ballot the following proposed ASB Constitution amendment: Wiles, Guest Prof., ToTalk About Ed Issues at Meeting Dr. Kimball Wiles, Western's guest professor from the University ofFlorida, will discuss "Current Issues in Education" at Kappa Delta Pi, on.

Don't nobody move! Whur'd they go? It's pretty difficult during the regular school year to get spontaneous opinion on almost any subject. This may bebecause younger people are reluctant to take a stand on their own opinions. It may be because theirlimited experience has not allowed them sufficient opportunity to formulate opinion. Whatever the reason,however, if such as above, it should not be applicable during summer quarter. In classes where there ismuch discussion on education, or most any topic, younger students find that opinions and suggestions by more mature people are extremely valuable factors in their education. The older persons also find thatthis swapping of information and opinion is valuable in broadening their own viewpoints. The above arethe purposes which the Collegian had in mind when it attempted to initiate a summer quarter column forexchange of opinion and newly gathered facts and information. The so sad fact is that this well ofopinion and information has, so far, refused to issue even so much as a drop. May we suggest that thebest way to get one's ideas accepted is to get them before the public. Certainly as important, perhaps*more so, the formulation of your ideas, in such a manner as to be acceptable by others, gives one abetter view of his own stand on a given point. Write us your ideas and opinions. You'll be helping yourselfand your fellow students. Own Careful Driving Is Not Always Enough, Scribe Finds (Ed. note: Thefollowing article* is by one of the staff writers involved in an accident on July 4. His car was totallydemolished and he is still confined with a basal skull fracture and minor injuries.) By JIM SIMON Ouch! That's the only appropriate thing one can say who is now merely a statistic on the state highwaysheets. This is also appropriate for the one injury to occur in the Bell-ingham area. A distinction of sortsbut a painful one. As the weekend arrives the radio constantly blares to be careful on the long weekend.But each year it seems to pass in one ear and out the other. Everybody nods but they are reallythinking, "It always is gt;*at other guy. I never had an accident. I'm a careful driver." Or someone whoseems to be wise but is in reality just as ridiculous when you hear, "This year I will only use the carwhen it is necessary. It's safer." Believe me you're only kidding yourself. You may never get ten blocks.Or you may be minding your own business on a trip across town. You 'could never complete the trip. Its .but a : split-second from here to eternity or the hospital. • Anyone who so much as starts his carcould never live to take the key from the ignition. Not all 324 killed last weeknd were on Ipng trips. *Haying bawled you out sufficiently I'll let you go with this thought. Believe what I say for I am astatistic,, a .-living one. I was lucky, pu may not be! _ o Advertisers help give you your Collegian. Showthem you appreciate it by giving them your business.

WWC Library July 7, 1954 Dear Dave: Due. to the unfortunate circumstancesin which I find myself, I wonder, if you would spare your followers the pain of reading a Bowman-written feature in this week's Collegian? It would save both the reader and the author a great deal of time, and with the latter at least, "time is of the essence," if I may quote a contemporary Senator andprominent TV attraction. The nature of my problem is this, I have to work every night this week. In itselfthis would not present an unsurmountable obstacle. However, "my instructors, either unwittingly orwith malice, continue to heap upon my narrow shoulders such burdens as projects, book reports,supplementary reading and threats of tests. Under this strain I frequently find myself screaming formercy and beating my despairing head upon the sturdy library walls. Airin vain! The only soul who heeds my cries is Mr. Hearsey and he fears a dislocation of his reference books. (Incidentally, that I am notthe only person in such difficulties is indicated by the fact that I often have to stand in line to reach awall.) ' In view of these troubles, Dear Editor, would you take mercy upon your frail .servant and releasehim from one obligation, that of writing a feature story for your accursed tabloid? If my plea is granted Iwill return to my customary position in the Reading Room and continue to disturb the dozingscholars there with moaning and the-rattle of my skull upon the masonry.

Across The Board: Board Reconsiders Amendment; Reaffirms President'sPower By TOM MANNEY Debate was again dominated by the amendment question when the Board ofControl met last Wednesday evening. In review: This controversy centers around a motion by Bob Dunlaito place a Constitutional amendment on the first ballot next Fall. The amendment would, if passed, makepossible the recall of any Board oi Control members, including faculty members, by student petition andelection. The motion to that effect was passed by the board at the meeting oi Tuesday, June 30. The vote at that* : — time was 6 for and 4 against. Bob Dunlap, who made the original motion, moved torescind this. The board passed this motion. He then proposed a revised amendment. In presenting this revision to the board, Dunlap explained that he had discussed the matter with Dr. Haggard since theprevious meeting. He said that he agreed with the College President in that the power,to eliminateshould rest with the appointer or elector. And that therefore the responsibility of removing facultymembers from the BOC should belong to the President of the College, since he is instrumental inappointing such members. MOTION REVISED The revised proposal—if adopted by thestudents—would effect two changes: 1) Appointed student members of the BOC could be removed bythe same means that have heretofore applied only to elected members. There are seven appointedstudent members on the present board. 2) Faculty members on the BOC —which are appointed by thePresident of the College and the ASB president jointly—would be considered for removal by thePresident of the College, upon the recommendation of two-thirds of the voting members of the board.Such a vote would be by secret ballot. The opposing viewpoint stated that this proposal was "redundant," since the College President already had this power. Also, it stated that to put such a statement in thewritten constitution would be a discourtesy to the faculty. In defense of the motion, one memberstated that the amendment would "reaffirm" this powei which the President already possesses, andillustrate that the student are aware that he does haw that power. QUESTION OF AUTHORITY This is the question then: woulc this "reaffirm" a power the President already has, or would the students be over-stepping their bounds in giving him what is already his and his by a power greater that the ASB?While this seems to be two way! of asking the same question, then is still a real difference. It is question of principle, and a question which is not likely to be resolvec to the pleasure of both interests. Whilemotive and intent are extremely significant in a question oi this nature, it is too great a responsibility for any observer t lt; attempt such an analysis. In general, however, there wen times when both sides of the debat lt; took personal offense at statement! made by other members. Whethei there was any such intent in th lt; remarks, I cannot say. But regardless of this, there was no justification for allowingpersonalities t lt; enter the debate at all. Since the voting ended in a tie the deciding vote was up toChairman Henry Howe. He voted in favoi of the motion, and it was gratifying that he gave no indicationof being partial to either. The decision was much more democratic thar the debate that led to it. Theresponsibility for the final decison, then, will be up to the students. This is an opportunity foi them toprove that they are capable of governing themselves-^r t« prove they are not.

The "loyal band" left Bellingham t 8:30 a. m. Saturday aboard the ©.Discovery and steamed out of he harbor toward Swinomish lough. After a short stop at the iological Station theyheaded to-ard the northern islands and De-option Pass. RRIVED SATURDAY The boat arrived atSinclair Is-md late Saturday afternoon and le party piled their belongings lto the dinghy and landed onthe lore of the college property, where ley remained until about noon on unday. While on the island thegroup ldulged in many pleasurable pas-mes, made possible by the ever-resent rays of the sun. Severaltembers of the party went fishing nd had pretty good luck with cod ish. Many specimens of sea life erecaptured and studied by the aturaiists in the crowd. LEATHER HEADY The weather which accompanied le excusion was so enjoyable that gt;me of the group went completely ut of their heads and took a dip the Sound. This, under any cir-umstance, is a rather bracing ex-erience. Sunday afternoon Stuart Fresk, ummer Recreation Program Di-ectbr, lived up to his word and arbecued a salmon, much to the leasureof all in attendance. It was evoured in short order. There were no serious casualties nd the tripseemed,to be thorough-r enjoyed by all. The only identifying mark which appears on those hoparticipated in the cruise is a right red nose. (This note is added gt; that aspersions will not be cast nthose found in possession of one f these rosy red probosci.) ^HABITANT HELPFUL While on Sinclair,the party met n interesting year-round inhabi-mt, who invited a group down to is cabin to play Canasta.He con- 2ssed that he was suffering from abin fever and they were the first gt;lks he had seen for ages. The roup was invited to use his facili-ies and were particularly grateful gt;r the use of his freezer, inkeep-lg their food from spoiling in the eat. The "Discovery" returned to pick p the party about noon onSunday, "he homeward cruise included such eauty spots as passing Orcas Isold, sailing among theSucian in-ts, stopping at the lighthouse on atos Island, which is the northern-lost lighthouses in the U.S., watch-lg the reef-netters off Lummi Is-md, and passing through Hale's ass headed for BellinghamBay nd home. o Don't just patronize Collegian dvertisers—say, "I saw your ad in tie Collegian."Featuring . . .

He alsomentions the fact that there will be extra parking space made available for the excursion goersadjacent to the dock area. Transportation will not be furnished from the college to the dock. SANJUAN'S HIGHLIGHT One of the highlights of the trip will be the eight hour passage through the San JuanIslands, the Strait of Haro, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, an island marine area considered to beamong the world's most beautiful. A five-hour stopover in Victoria will allow the travellers time to shbp-attheir leisure, or if they are more inclined to sightseeing, many wonderful places of interest are" opeff for them to explore. The horse drawn "Tally Hp's" offer a colorful sight-seeing tour of the city of Victoria, and because it is so close at hand the passengers will not want to miss the chance of touring the capitolgrounds. Victoria is, of course, the capitol of the Province of British Columbia and is said to be "themost English city in North America."

Lakewood, the college property on Lake Whatcom, will be the site of this year's"Feast of Feasts." At this special occasion everyone cooks his steak to his own' liking, either barbecued or broiled—medium, well, or rare. (Many will no doubt end up roasted to a dark brown turn, but this is all part of the fun.) The only fault of this is that there will be no one to blame but yourself if it doesn't turn out fit to eat. The procedure of this event is very simple. (A two year old could do it!) Tickets arepurchased at the Recreation office in old Main. Transportation both to and from the lake will be furnishedas usual. Upon showing a ticket to those in charge, the holder will be presented with a big' juicysteak. The rest of the menu, which will be posted this afternoon on the bulletin, will be ready andwaiting for each "chef" as he finishes the preparation of his steak. From here on -—Let nature take its course! The price of admission and the time the "Fry" will commence had not been announced at presstime, but they will be posted today on the Recreation Bulletin.

Puget Sound Pulp and TimberCompany ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 July 9 - Page 4 ---------- Violinist: Epitome of Sensitiveness By DOROTHY HARBISON Zvi Zeitlin, international violinist, madehis initial appearance in the auditorium last night before an appreciative audience. Mr. Zeitlin, who hasjust made an extensive tour of Israel (where he received his early training) with stopovers in Paris andLondon, before returning to the United States, appeared on the third concert of the Artists and LecuresSeries of the summer quarter. The program opened with the familiar Tartini-Kreisler "Variations on aTheme by Corelli" as arranged by Fritz Kreisler, which served to establish Mr. Zeitlin as a sensitive andpowerful artist, a Guarnieri del Gesu, made in 1687, being the medium through which he appealed to hishearers. The Bach "Chaconne in D Minor," originally a movement from one of six sonatas for the violinwithout accompaniment, tested the virtuosity of the player by proving his technical skill in producingeach separate phrase with perfect clarity. These two shorter works were followed by the beautiful"Symphonie Espagnole" of Edouard Lalo. The opening "Allegro non Troppo" received almost passionatetreat- VACATION NEEDS PRESCRIPTIONS TOILETRIES * StarRexall Drug Co. State Holly, Ph.224 Buchan's The GOOD Bread Bellingham Baking Co. 2001 State Phone 913 ment, being followed by an Andante of deep intensity that was "lightened by a Rondo-Allegro in which the tune of the "rounddance" may be heard as it moves between 'the high and low strings. A sympathetic accompanimentby Lois Lisez at the piano always followed the mood established by the soloist. Following theintermission, two more works for the unaccompanied violin created interest. Paul Ben- Haim, reputed tobe the greatest composer in Israel today, gave the muted violin a "Shepherd Song" of unalloyed beauty.The shepherd's pipe could be heard echoing through the hills and valleys in a haunting melody. Thesecond part of this work, a "Country Dance," was in direct contrast, being in the modern idiom,dissonant and suggesting a wild Arab or Gypsy dance. The second unaccompanied work of this groupwas more familiar to the audience, consistsing of the "Recitative and Scherzo-Caprice of Fritz Kreisler. An impeccable interpretation of Mozart's "Rondo in G," with its recurring theme and brief but lovelycadenza was followed by the muted, siesta-like "Habanera" from Maurice Ravel's' "RapsodieEspagnole" and Pagariini's "Campanella," which brought the program to a close. Mr. Zeitlin, in responseto en-enthusiastic applause, played an intense, tragic movement from Ernest Bloch's' "Baal Shem"and a capricious Spanish "Jota" by Isaac Al-beniz. Lois Lisez followed the changing moods of Mr.Zeitlin's solos with artistic grace and was, incidentally, making her third appearance on the stage ofthe auditorium.

Monday Through Saturday Annual Summer Barbecue Big SuccessNearly three hundred and fifty Western students flocked to Larra-bee State park last Wednesday nightfor the annual Salmon Barbecue. Chet Ullin, master of salmon barbecuing, was at his best and turnedout some of the most luscious fish ever eaten. This was borne out by the scarcity of left-overs. (The place looked like a graveyard for "Real Gone" salmon.) His kippered fins and cheeks made a particular hitwith the crowd. The other items on the menu, which included O'Brien potatoes, cole slaw, rolls andgarlic bread, and coffee and dessert, were well received by the "Feasters." One thing can be said withcertainty; no one went, away hungry. It had been predicted by Mr. Stuart Fresk, director of theSummer Recreation Program, that this would be the best attended summer picnic sponsored by thecollege and so far, his prediction is very true. Congratulations to Mr. Ullin, Mr. Fresk, and the manyothers whose efforts mode the '54 Salmon Barbecue a "Bang-Up" affair.

A good faculty and a good ogramwithout a good student xly are not a good summer quar-r. Of course, one cannot help as-iming that agood faculty and good program attract a good ;udent body, especially in sur- gt;undings conducive tosummer ;udy. The enrollment is signifi-tntly above that of last year; it ay equal or exceed the highest•evious summer enrollment, of hich we should be very proud. It is irident, in view of the current•end, that some interesting years re ahead. We of the administration and the iculty welcomegenuinely the stu-ent body to realize the maximum I professional growth and general Jucation thissummer. It is hoped mt every student will take full ad-mtage of the cultural opportuni-es provided. We are told repeated-r that the programs offered on the ;ries of Artists and Lecturers in le auditorium onTuesday evenings jual those offered at any college r university. It is generally agreed lat few areasprovide the outdoor icreational opportunties that there re in this upper Puget Sound Duntry. Wewelcome the teachers and lose advancing their general edu-ation to a well balanced summer n thiscampus. We are acquainted rtih many of the former students nd we want to get acquainted with s manyas possible of those who are here for the first time. It is hoped that we are always, regardless of size,a small college in spirit and tradition. • W. W. HAGGARD, President. June 22, 1954. WWCRegistration Notes Increase It looks like Western's Summer quarter enrollment has a good chance ofshowing a "substantial increase over last summer," according to Mr. Donald Ferris, Registrar. Ferriscautioned, however, that first day figures could be misleading. Final enrollment figures will not be in for at least a week. Ferris also requests that all persons expecting to receive a degree or certificate atthe end of summer quarter, who did not make application at the time of registration, report to theregistrars office to apply.

Need ASB Secretary A secretary for the Board ofControl is urgently needed for this New Courses Offered - Several new courses are offered this summerwhich are intended to help the student, returning or oth-erwise, keep up on the modern method ofeducation. Education 400-11 is a review of the research dealing with perception, motivation, mentalhygiene, and group dynamics as related to an understanding of human behavior and the learningprocess. Education 427 offers a study of the interrelated natural resources of forest, soil, water,fisheries, and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest. The course involves extensive field work.

Anyone interested in the $30 job whohas had this type of experience is being urged to submit a.letter of application to the president. "Theduties of the secretary," according to the Navigator, "shall be to keep a record of the minutes of allregular and special meetings of the Board, to attend to Associated Student Body correspondence, tomaintain the files of the association, to perform other secretarial duties and to act in such capacity asthe Board of Control may direct." Applications may be placed in the ASB mail box on the m a in floor. Opportunities for specialized training under the guidance of nationally recognized experts are againavailable to Western's Summer school students. A large number of students are taking advantage of the special educational programs, according to Donald Ferris, Registrar. ROOMS CHANGED Twoof the classes in "The Improvement of Instruction," under Dr. Kimball Wiles, of the University ofFlorida, had to be moved into the A-M building, where larger rooms were available. Another eminenteducator, Dr. Edgar A. Doll is conducting classes in special education. Dr Doll, who worked with theBellingham school district this past year, is an authority on the problems of teaching the handicappedand the gifted child. The Director of Student teaching is in charge of enrollment for these specialeducation courses. RESOURCES STUDY Several items of interest and pertinent plans are available to those student wishing to study the resources of the state. A workshop in Conservation and OutdoorEducation will include several field and camping trips, starting July 22. The staff members will includespecialists from various of the college departments. In addition to this, a laboratory-course inoutdoor education will be-conducted at the county school-camp near Silverton.; Credits from this will, byarrangement, meet; part of the student teaching requirements. Ths lab course will be available bothterms of the summer. i f lt; ews/ror K-Vets: First - Check; August Dr. Marie S Ruder, Director ofStudent Personnel services, stated' that veterans under Public Law 346 who have been teaching duringthe past year must file an official letter from their school district to that effect before any payments canbe made. A change in the procedure for Veterans under Public Law 550 concerning the pay periodhas also been made, stated Kuder. Previously payments have been made every month, but now a single pay period will be made covering the period from June 21 to the end of July. The single check will beissued about the middle of August. Summer Edition of The Writer' Possible, Says Editor Gole GeorgeCole, editor of The Writer, WWC's literary magazine, stated that material may be submitted for possiblepublication in the summer edition. This is the first time in Western's history that a summer edition will be published. Realizing that many returning students have creative ability, it is Cole's wish to provide themwtih a possible source of publication, and thereby give recognition to their efforts. Material may bedeposited in the Writer box in the Collegian office, room 126. All material must be typewritten, doublespaced and the estimated number of words given. Material submitted is the property of the Writer andwill not be returned. Assisting Cole is Berniece Brown, associate editor; Wil Knutzen, poetry editor;Gary Douglas, essay editor; Dave Gay, short story editor. Harold Ogden, English, is the facultyadvisor. There are a few copies of the spring quarter edition of The Writer still available at theBookstore. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 June 25 - Page 2 ---------- Memo To Thm Student Body Here is the first edition of your Summer quarter Campus newspaper, theWWCollegian.

We hope you enjoy your stay at the "College by themountains and the sea." —Dave Gay, Editor. Collegian Columns Open to Students In line with theCollegian's policy of providing public service whenever possible, a section will be set aside each week, fordiscussion of matters of general interest outside of the immediate circle of the College. Designedoriginally as an outlet for thought and comment on and about teaching and education, the hew feature willconsist wholly of material submitted by the general student body. It will be published each week there ismaterial and space available, under the heading "Summer Comment," on page four of the Collegian.WWCollegian Friday, June 35, 1?54 Pag* 2 The first, summer board meeting, last Wednesday, was nota departure from the G*e-I-wish-I-were-at-the-beach attitude that seems to be so popular this summer.No one appeared to want to shake the world, but the meeting suggested a greater interest in businesswith less emphasis in idolatry of recent TV stars. Henry Howe, 1954 ASB president, is acting aschairman again this summer and Carolyn Crook is vice-*- —-—.—— ;. . -———— president.Board members returning from last quarter are Dave Gay, Wil Knutson, Mike O'Sammon, and Dr. VanAver, Miss Karsten and Dr. Critchfieldj faculty advisors. Seven members were appointed at the lastSpring quarter meeting to fill out the Board. They are Carole Diers, Megan David, J im Simon, BillWaring, Bill Nehers, and Al Evans. DEBATE MILD Controversy* however was not -absent amid all thispeace and tranquility. Bob Dunlap made the motion to purchase, six copies of "Sturgis Code of.Parliamentary Procedure," the oftieiar gutde ' lb BOC procedure. Dr. Van Aver moved to amend this toread 14 copies, enough to furnish one to each, member of the Board. The question in debate here waswhether the extra copies were worth the additional $24.72, and if there would ever be a need for morethan six copies. Debate was brief and non-personal. The Board decided to purchase six copies. LAKEWOOD PUSHED It cannot be said either, that the Board lacks action this summer. They had notdiscussed a campaign to play up the Lakewood property three minutes before Dunlap moved to holdthe next regular BOC meeting there. The Student Center is still ringing with the fervor of the legislatingthat followed: The outcome: The next regular BOC meeting will be at the Lakewood property on LakeWhatcom at 5 p. m. next Tuesday. As always, the meeting will be open to ail interested students (butbring your own food—it promises to be a long meeting.) Henry Howe said that the key to cabin at Lake-wood will be made available •' to Western picnickers. This will be announced in a later issue of theCollegian, BUDGET CUT In peace or war, through fun and folly, the budget must go on. I rather doubtthat anyone ever said this in such a manner before —and understandably so —but it seems to fit. Thetask before the Board is to cut the estimated expenditures on next year's budget by $6,269.39. This is the excess over estimated income for the same period. There will be an official report next Week ofhow much has been cut to date. In the meantime all unjustified expenses are being eliminated. Thisweek they worked on the social budget. There was a request for the Junior prom for $750. This is to be compared with a loan of $150 for the function last year. One member suggested that as this extra$600 was only working capital, since the prom is practically self-supporting, it is, therefore, deceivingto have it budgeted as an expense. The Board reduced the budget figure to $150. Work on the budgetwill continue next week.

But just because we live in the twentieth century doesn't mean that we can'texperience similar "pleasures." For example: The completion of the last entry in WesternWashington's, registration book affords the same feeling of relief. At the very least, equivalent to thejoy felt upon completion of other horrible punishments. Cat-o'-nine t a i l s, maces, scourges, and horsewhips included. But don't get the idea that Registrars design registration books just to hecklestudents. The mdh* strosity that each student filled out for 37% minutes last Monday is the last of theMohicans.. It's on the way out. The end is in sight. No more will entering students be faced with thisseemingly endless task. No more moans! No more groans! Fall quarter starts the heviTorder.

At Oak Ridge, Dr. Knapmanvorked with 32 other science teachers selected from colleges and high chools throughout t h e UnitedStates in the study of radiosotopes md their application to science in-truction in colleges and highichools. Radioisotopes are now available or instruction and research at the mdergraduate college leveland for ugh school classes," Dr. Knapman •eports. "Although precautions are lecessary to protectpeople from •adiation damage, careful use of adioistotopes will permit students o rapidly andaccurately carry out :hemical analysis, to trace the :ourses of chemical reactions, and o gatherinformation concerning ;he movement of fluids and the be-lavior of organs in plants and inimals."

The Atomic EnergyCommission is seeking to train teachers at the college undergraduate and the high school levels.Organic and inorganic chemistry classes and classes in' biology and physics at WWC will use theisotopes as a regular instructional program during the 1954-55 school year, the professor predicts."The radioisotopes will be a most important tool for study in science classes at Western," Dr Knapmansays. "We hope to train teachers to make use of them in high school classes." TREMENDOUSPOTENTIAL Dr. Knapman was most impressed by the atomic pile at Oak Ridge. "The silent mass ofconcrete contained a 24-foot cube of graphite and uranium has an energy-producing potentialequivalent to two Grand Coulee dams," he says. The pile produces nearly all the radioisotopes used in the United States. Rigid controls of the purchase of radioactive materials beyond a very low intensity ofradioactivity have been imposed by the AEC, Dr. Knapman reports. Schools must havee trainedpersonnel and adequate equipment before they may obtain the more active materials. Safetyprecautions at Oak Ridge include the wearing of photographic film badges which record radioactivity,and "dosemeters," which record the quantity of radiation exposure during a 24-hour period. Civildefense aspects of atomic training, particularly for teachers, was stressed at the training sessions, Dr.Knapman reports. "Although we are inclined to think, of atomic piles principally as devices to producematerial for bombs," he adds, "atomic piles can also be used to produce useful energy and scores ofdifferent radioisotopes to serve as one of man's most useful modern tools. Knowledge and use of"these tools can be learned in the secondary schools and colleges."

Whatever the answer, large groupsof summer students will be inspecting these and many other industries this summer. MANY EVENTSPLANED Recreational Director S t u a rt Fresk, located in the deans' office, pointed put this week thatsummer activities and trips have been planned to meet the interests of every student on campus. Forthose interested in learning more about-local industries, plans are being laid for trips to the Darigoldplant, several mills, a cement plant, and perhaps several other local industries. "Dates and places will be published in" the Bulletin from time to time," Fresk said. "Plans for the trips are under way, and weare looking for large numbers of students— as we have in the past." SAMPLE OF INDUSTRY Thesetreks most of which are guided, are intended to give the students an opportunity to get a good, wellrounded sample of the various types of industry of this area. In past years, there have been times whenthe program included more than one trip per week. One factor that may have some bearing on the datefor a part of this program is the threat of a timber strike. However, the rest of the program will continuewhatever happens and students are advised to keep watching the daily bulletins for information.Revised Hours Announced for Lounge, Co-op Offering in between class relaxation and eveningentertainment, the college fountain and TV lounge, under the supervision of Mr. Louis Earle, will have the following hours during the summer quarter: fountain, 7 a. m. to 10:30 p. m.

They are, left to right, Rodger Williams, Larry Richardson and Gordon Pfister. Notpictured was the only female winner, and top vote getter, Donna Wray. The four will begin their fourquarter terms next fall. Amendment Passed By Large Vote After a slight mix-up which came ibout inthe counting of the ballots, the following were elected to the Board of Control for next year: DonnaWray, Rodger Williams, Larry Richardson, and Gordon Pfister. The proposed amendment to theconstitution passed by a wide margin. At first count, Pfister came in fourth of the eight candidates, Pol-lowing another counting, Mary Jones received more votes t h an Pfister. A third count was taken whichgave fourth place back to Pfister. Donna Wray was way out in front with 359 votes. Rodger Williamswas second with 297 count-srs., Larry Richardson was a close third with 283 votes. As previouslymentioned, Pfister! was fourth with Spring 'Writer1 OnSaleMonday The spring edition of the 1954'Writer" will be on sale Monday, June 7 and Tuesday, June 8. The price will be the same as winterluarter, 20 cents. The magazine will be sold in three places: the main hall, Edens hall ;afeteria, and thefoyer of the A-M building. This quarter's edition is nearly twice as big as the Winter issue, containing 58pages. It is done in lithograph form and is approximately eight by five inches in size. The cover is lightblue violet, decorated with sketches of people reading The Writer." Robert Ellington, senior, was coverdesigner and 11- ustrator of ttie spring issue. 241. Jones just missed fourth by five votes, having 236votes. Rose-marie Oldow, Kathy Snitman, and Ivan Hickenbottom rounded out the eight candidates with233, 217, and 195 counters, respectively. Western voters overwhelmingly voted to change theconstitution so that ex-officio members of the BOC will definitely have a vote. The vote went 324 yes, 116 no. There was a three-fourths majority instead of the required two-thirds majority. Characteristic of theelection was the fact that the places were so closely bunched. Approximately 50 per cent of thepossible 1095 voters went to the polls. Wednesday and Thursday Slated For Final Exams Pinal exams are slated for next week at Western. Students who have classes that meet once or twice weekly will be tested in the final regular class period. Ten o'clock classes will also hold exams during the last class.Wednesday and Thursday, June 9 and 10, are test days and will be divided into three two-hoursections plus an hour lunch period. The following is a list of the classes that will be tested during thefinal two days and the time the exams will be held: Wednesday, June 9: 9 o'clock classes at 8 11o'clock classes at 10 1 o'clock classes at 1 Thursday/June 10: 8 o'clock classes at 8 3 o'clock classes at 10 2 o'clock classes at 1 '54 Klipsun Distributed; More in August The Klipsun, Western's yearbook, has" been on the stands since Wednesday of this week. * The distribution of the book, which was tobegin at 9 a. m. Wed-, nesday, was delayed when the books didn't arrive. After the distribution wasbegun they went quickly with over 400 gone by 4 p. m. EDITION NOTABLE This year's edition is notable for several reasons. The use of color on the division pages, more pictures than the 1953 edition and thedifference in faculty pictures are outstanding features. Previously the faculty pictures have beenpublished alphabetically. This year they have been grouped according to departments. ArleneMcKinney, editor of the book says, "We will be distributing the books from room 128 until they are allgone." Spring activities of the college will be included in a 12 page supplement to be published aboutAugust 1. The supplement will be mailed to each student receiving a Klipsun. To assure accuratemailing each student is asked to fill out a gummed mailing label with name and permanent addressbefore receiving his copy of the book. Label and envelopes will be provided in the Klipsun office. To getyour 1954 Klipsun proceed to room 128: Print name and mailing address on gummed labelprovided. Place label on envelope and hand to student in charge. Show ASB card, Political Situationis Treated in 'Writer By EUGENE FRIESE Literature is a product of time and place; and whosoeverwould write his words to be passed on to other men must not be writing walled within the fortress ofhis own philosophy. His contribution must be designed within the light of a sound awareness of hisenvironment. This expansive style of thought is characteristic of Western's authors as their works appear in the spring issue of the WRITER which has just been published. "The temperamental cards of ourtime," says Van Wyck Brooks, "are all stacked in favor of despair." Portraying this temper of our timesare an array of stories and essays concerned with the political situation in which the world now findsitself. Dave Gay was foremost among those whose thoughts were dominated by the threat thatMcCarthy presents as the malignancy of his methods becomes more pronounced, In a straightforward,logical article entitled "Hysteria, Incorporated," he points out the dangers that are encroaching upon themental freedom of the United States which heretofore had been a Utopia for those in the world whocared to think. The evil that is befalling our nation, however, can be subdued, for there are sounds ofencouragement as in summary he writes, "The major harm is not that there are such people; theyhave always been with us. The tragedy lies in the fact that there are Americans who believe thesethings." Korea, and the war that is in many ways still being waged there, drew the attention of campuswriters. "The Infantryman," a short story which at times lapses into dull, uninteresting writing, seemsin the final analysis to present through the character of Private Whitehead an entire gamut of emotions.Emotions which are probably those of any young man who suddenly finds himself struggling for lifeagainst the harshness of the army, an unknown enemy, and his own thoughts. An artistically achieved atmosphere full with the pathos of war prevails in spite of the competition found in the better writtenstories. Although the evils of war and McCarthy did not appear in~the efforts of the poets, the everpresent concern for love was expressed Summer Housing Will be Scarce The large influx ofconstruction workers into the greater Bellingham area has considerably lessened the availability ofsummer housing. This situation was revealed recently in an interview with the Dean of Women, MissLorraine Powers, concerning summer residences. Two lists of housing are now available from theDean's office. A list of light housekeeping rooms and a list of apartments and houses is now ready. Alarge number of applications for summer quarters is now on file and anyone desiring to file should do soimmediately. in much of the verse. George Cole's "Portrait," a poem unique in form, describes lovepictured in the calmness and poise of a beautiful woman. Indeed, the student-poets have rallied tothe call of Spring. Whether the inspiration for the poetry came from love, nature, or even the mishapsof a faculty member, each poet has used a style for the most part modern in construction. At times,however as in "The Pure White Peacock," a lack of sincerity and actual message becomes evident. Aneed for more unity in meaning and less emphasis on the extravagance of form seems appropriate.The high point of all that the WRITER has to offer is a delightful essay titled "Come the ThunderingHoofbeats" by Berniece Brown. Worthy of its first place prize, this review of the all too famous Zane Grey books wittily, but critically, presents the case of the Zane Grey heroes in comparison with those of themodern western who "give up the wild life—not for the love of a good life, but for the love of a goodwoman." Written with ease and subtle humor, the essay displays a keen appraisal of the "blood andthunder epics of yesteryear." All these articles, the best of the quarter's creative writing crop, have beenassembled in an attractive blue cover. Decorated inside and out with ink drawings, the WRITERrepresents an excellent showing of creative ability. Varied Summer Employment Is Available Theannual problem of summer jobs is again facing the younger set. A check with the Dean of Men's officereveals some job listings now available. The Charles Norman Enterprises are seeking men applicants fora position selling men's nylon hosiery. The Yellowstone Park Company is now taking applications forbus drivers. First year drivers receive a salary of 121 dollars per month plus board and lodging. Anadditional bonus of 50 cents per day is given to those who complete the season. This year the seasonwill run from June 8 to the first week in September. The Washington State Employment SecurityDepartment in Seattle is hiring 170 students to work for the Green Giant Company in their peacanneries at Dayton and Waitsburg, Washington. The requirements cairfor 11 hour work days andseven day work weeks. The base pay is $1.29 per hour and time and a half for hours over 55. Anadditional 5 cent bonus is paid for night shift. Lodging facilities are available at $1.50 per week. TheDean's office has additional listings ranging from yard work, house to house demonstration, school work, cleaning, waitresses, elevator operator, and a female clerk with chemistry background, ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 June 4 - Page 2 ---------- BOC Applications Needed Seven out the ten Board of Control members deciding upon the finalappropriation of student money next ..year may not be students who will be in school next year, or bestudents who were in school during the past three quarters. MORE APPLICATIONS NEEDED Startlingas it sounds, this very well could be the case if more students do not now apply for positions on thesummer Board. It is imperative that the summer Board have a good representation of students who arein school during the "regular school year. STILL TIME TO APPLY The Board is leaving its decision as tothe applicants for the positions open till the last possible moment this quarter. There is still time to apply. If you wish to have your budget for next year decided by students who are on campus during the regularschool year, it is up to you to induce persons planning to attend summer school to apply now.Requiescat In Pace Where did the year go? Last Fall when Volume XLVI No. 1 came off the press/welooked forward through the thirty-one editions to come, and were impressed with the vast stretch of timewhich was to be crossed before finishing our tour,of-duty. lt; That day seems about a week and a halfago. PURPOSE: INFORM, STIMULATE Through the intervening weeks, we have tried to inform,entertain, and stimulate the students at Western. This idea, or ideal, has been uppermost in our minds, in publication of the Collegian. To what extent we have succeeded is to be judged by the students. Also, to what extent we have succeeded is due to the hard work done by the Collegian staffers, week aftergrueling week. They are the ones who spent time and energy in digging out the news of the college,probing the recesses of their journalistic minds for bits of interesting sidelights and digging out information on vital issues. ALLAN: ASSIST Credit for a large assist must go to the Publications adviser, Mr. PatAllan, for his invaluable help in all. phases of the. Collegian. We know that Collegian Editor-elect RogerGnovdahl has profited by our shortcomings, and will correct a great many of them. :;. We have meantthe Collegian to have been your paper this year. If we have kept you a bit more informed as to yourschool, if we have given you some relaxing reading, if we have stimulated your thinking on schoolproblems a bit, we have accomplished our primary purpose. Editor-elect States Plans for Next Year ByRoger Grovdahl, Editor-elect OUT WITH THE OLD: IN WITH THE NEW This issue of the Collegian willConclude the regular school year of publication. It has been a successful year and as I step into theshoes of my predecessor it is my wish that the paper will retain its high standard next year. With thecooperation of a good staff and the able advising of Mr. Allan I am certain my wish will become areality. NO DRASTIC CHANGE The Collegian will not change drastically next year. However, the general policy of the paper will differ slightly. The reason for this is that no two people think exactly the sameway. Each editor has different ideas about issues and ways of running a paper. The nature and purposeof the editorials will not be exactly the same. In my editorials next year, I hope to bring out particularneeds which are apparent on the campus. The Collegian, will again welcome letters on matters of interest and will give space ini the editorial column to guest editorialists. It is pleasant to reflect and meditate onthe past year. It is more important, however, to look forward to next year. k side Gkot WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Since 1899 Member Intercollegiate Press Entered as second class matter at the post office at Bellingham by virtue of the act of March 8, 1879 Printed by Cox Brothers, Inc.,Bellingham, Wash.

Adviser - Fat Allan Since this is the last Collegianfor this year I would like to make a few special comments. First it has been a great honor serving asyour ASB president for the past year. Everything hasn't been a bed of roses but it seems we haVealways, come through in the end, 'The support which you have given me, as students, has been deeplyappreciated. Secondly, I am confident that next,.year's.ASB president is going to be an outstandingsuccess. During the past few weeks I have become personally acquainted with Ray Cohrs and Ihave found that he is not only a wonderful fellow but a man with real executive ability. It is apparent tome that as he receives the support of you students next year, much will be done to advance the ASBat Western. In .parting let me assure you that as an alumnus (as of this summer) I shall continue tobe interested in the college. One thing that being on the BOC does for a person: It makes him aneverlasting friend of the college—and of course of the students. Yours truly, Henry Howe, ASBPresident j4eno4A the S vid .... fy tytovdaM Henry Howe is urging students who will be here thissummer to file for Board of Control positions which will be open. Many of the regular BOC members willbe gone this summer. Only three applications have been received to fill the vacated seats. At least sevenpositions will have to be filled. Positions which are hot filled by regular students may be filled by alumni or part-time summer students. At Friday's short meeting, business was taken care of rapidly and withoutthe usual complication.* — Dave Gay and Tom Manney filed for editor and business manager of thesummer Collegian, respectively. Both were the only applicants for each position • and both won thejobs they applied for. Dell Abelein was selected by the Board to edit next year's Profile. Besides beingappointed; summer quarter business manager of the Collegian, Tom Manney was selected by the Boardto be editor of the Homecoming booklet. Norma Moyer will serve as business manager of thepublication. Ed McFate gave his Campus Bay report to the BOC at Wednesday's regular meeting.McFate reported a deficit of $11.35 on the general activities of the day. However, the committee used$10.05 less than they were alloted for food. Therefore, the total loss was only $1.30. Some unusedmaterial is left over and will *7 U fo Vt?..... lt; * fy CCKiOjb The dying gasp of the 1953-54 Collegian is nigh. With this issue the WWCollegian will have completed its mission of keeping the students atWestern informed and enlightened. There will be a small death rattle next week—that is called theClass Day edition. Summer students will have the joy of scanning a four-pager, but the main sheet isabout dead. Some are sbr-r ry, some are not. Most of the staff will be around to present their "unbiasedstories" (?) next year. Cruising down the Strait—that's the plan of CCF. A sponsored cruise for everyone on the Sea Scout ship "Discovery" among the scenic San Juans. The sailing is set for tomorrow at 9.Bring your own chow. Cost is $1.00 for an all day cruise. Can you think of a better place to study? TheBoard of Control went hog wild last Wednesday. I don't know whether or not Danny Beatty had anythingto do with it (he is the BOC pig expert), but Ed McFate Campus Day chairman, was awarded a pin forhis outstanding job. Making Campus Day a success this year was the primary argument for retention ofthis student tradition. Ed did a truly fine job. Moreover, this may mark a tendency for the BOC to moveaway from its established system of cash bonuses. Bonuses are fine—if you are the recipient,but a great amount of student monies can be squandered in this way. Other forms of recognition are more economical and, actually, are more lasting through the years. Cash is spent and forgotten, buta pin, a plaque, or a cup will bring back memories of Western many years after graduation. "Nuff sed!"Only three people have applied for positions on the Board of Control. What sort of dull witted, feeble-minded, head in the sand students do we have at Western? In summers past the interests of the Alumni have been considered (in some cases) over the interests of the regular students. Because of this fact,and because of the inefficiency of a past Board the student Co-op dividend was only half of what itshould have been this year. It is in the student interest to apply and take a position on the Board ofControl this summer. It seems logical that the interests of those who attend three quarters should takeprecedence over the interests of those who attend one quarter or not at all. It is the student duty tosafeguard the interests of their vacationing classmates. Note: Definition of duty as outlined above is the opinion of this columnist and should be understood as such.. Disagree if you like. That is yourprivilege. But, apply for a Summer Board position. This is it! The end of "This Is It?" Two weeks old; diedof a lack of space to expand in. Had a lot of fun out of living during its short life. Goodbye seniors—seethe rest of you next year. be given to the Student Facilities committee. The Board expressed pleasurewith the way Campus Day was handled by McFate and his committees this year. This year was the test for Campus Day. If attendance at the activities of the day had been poor, it ,is a good bet there wouldhave been no Campus Day next year. In appreciation for the fine job McFate did, the Board discussedgiving him a pin. Several members thought it would be better to give McFate a monetary token of ap-precation. The motion to buy him a pin finally carried. A committee of three will select the type of pin.PA SYSTEM DISCUSSED Mike O'Sammon gave a report concerning the purchase of a publicaddress system for the school. This past year, well over $200 has been spent for renting sound cars.O'Sammon reported that the school could obtain the necessary P.A. apparatus for $250. It wasbrought out that a license to operate in the city would have to be purchased. A special committee willlook into the matter further. On the surface it seems that this proposed purchase will save the school alot of money. It would be undoubtedly a good, sound investment. Saylor reported on the Evergreenconference meeting which he attended. Donna Wray and Virginia Wilkinson added their commentsabout the conference. The BOC expressed its official thanks to the representatives. Roland Saylorasked that the administration budget be reconsidered. He thought that ttie.' money the Board cutfrom trips .and conferences earlier in the year should be replaced. The question will be placed before a special committee. o— — First a man learns to talk.

Gayand Manney To Head Summer Collegian Staff The positions of Collegian editor and Collegian businessmanager have been filled for the summer quarter of 1954. Recent Board of Control action favorablyconsidered David Gay and Tom Manney for these summer jobs. Dave Gay is well known to West-ernites as a BOC member and has been editor of the Collegian this year. Tom Manney is a transfer studentfrom the University of Washington. Manney has had considerable newspaper experience before coming to Western and has been active on the Collegian staff this quarter. He will assume the tasks ofbusiness manager in a few weeks. Manney, Abelein New Editors in Minor Publications The Board ofControl announced recently that Tom Manney has been chosen as editor of the Homecoming book for1954-55. Dell Abelein was chosen Profile editor at the same meeting. Norma Moyer was selected to bebusiness manager for the Homecoming book. Dell has been active on the Collegian staff in 1953-54and was awarded the "Outstanding Reporter" for this school year. Commencement Activities BeginGripes Pay Off, Registration Form Changed When students return to Western for fall quarter onSeptember 27, 1954, a completely new registration form will greet them. By use of carbon paper and aspecial type of filing system, the work of students and faculty members will be reduced. Instead offilling out five class schedules in the registration book, the student will go through the process twice.Previously 14 different cards had to be filled out by the individual. The number has been reduced to threeor four. Registrar Donald A. Ferris estimated the student would have to spend "about 15 minutes"writing the data in his registration book. Class cards still must be filled out seperately. BOC NewsStarting tomorrow the seniors will embark upon a series of events that will culminate four years of highereducation. Declan Barron, co-chairman of the Commencement general committee, announced recently that the Commencement week program schedule was complete. Traditionally the first event ofCommencement Week is Alumni day. At 5:30 on Saturday, June 5, the Alumni Banquet will be held inthe dining room of; Edens hall. Graduating seniors and alumni will attend. An address will be given byStudent's Democratic Qualities Studied by Research Dept. Which student is democratic, which isundemocratic? That was the question posed by the Bureau of Research at Western Washington collegein Bellingham in a recent series of tests and investigations. More than fifty different aspects of theproblem were examined. Such things as sex, age, intelligence, English competence, and philosophicpoint of view were among the many diverse facets of the problem examined by the Bureau. GALSDEMOCRATIC In answering the posed question it was found that the greatest difference in democratic attitudes was between sexes. Women possessed significantly more democratic attitudes than men.This fact was validated by the test results of over 1,000 students. A low grade point average alsoseemed to go hand in hand with a low score in the democracy tests. This was especially welldemonstrated in the English field where low grades paralleled low test grades. The tests showed thatthe farm lad is apt to be considerably less democratic than his village cousin. The village boy evenexceeds town, city, and big city youths in possession of the tested concepts. The investigations ofthe Bureau of Research also revealed that the amount of time spent by the student's father in schoolwas a significant factor. The son's chances to be possessor of democratic attitudes decreased withthe father's years of education. It was also shown that students seemingly become more democratic asthey lengthen their stay at WWC. The students designated as democratic by the test showed adefinite ability to be critical thinkers. This was true of both men and women. The tests and evaluationswere designed to be impersonal in the true scientific manner. However, an independent rater found that,of the people evaluated by, faculty committees, the good looking men tended to be classed. as"democratic," and the attractive girls were classed as "undemocratic." There were limited indicationsthat students selected as possessors of the democratic principles tended to follow the middle of theroad. They tended to behave like the average. The report stated actually the student picked asdemocratic may be at the mid-point in behavior. They affiliate with majorities, they are not burdensomelydependent, and are not outspokenly independent. They are able people, skilled in critical thinking,socially approved, and academically successful. The Bureau of Research indicated in its report the ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1954 June 4 - Page 4 ---------- With this issue of the paper Western's "year of athletics is over except for the national NAIA meet inTexas. The '53-'54 seasons were not all successful but they had their good moments.. FOOTBALLLappenbusch's straight liners looked good at the football season's start and many of us thought they hada good chance of going all the way. The game with Eastern was the turning point and ^ t e r that theinjury plagued team had little success. - Next year's' squad should draw a* lot of spectators to Battersbyfield Lappy has nineteen returning let-termen and some outstanding transfer and freshmen studentsare coming in. Among the transfers is Herb Boiles who was first string center for USC before goinginto the service. Boiles married a Bellingham girl and wants to play here. Don't forget the Lappbrothers, All-conference Willis Ball, Keith Cabe, Jim Gard, Maurie Halleck and many others whoshould be mentioned as coming back but space forbids it. BASKETBALL The basketball team, underDean McDonald, had a poor season, but like the baseball and golf teams finished with a very loud"bang." The wins over UBC were good ones and the team looked great both nights, especially in thelarge Vancouver gym which was filled near to capacity, with Thunderbird fanslook-ing for a win overtheir nearest rival. Only Paul Anglin graduates from the squad and with the many transfer students hehas lined up "Mac" should do pretty well. Missing next year will be the two hustle kid guards, GalenReimer and bouncing Bob Petrosik, who will go into the service sometime this summer. Bob Stone,Roger Knigge, and Gary Radliff should be counted on for good seasons next winter. Let's hope theystart like they finished last season. BASEBALL Baseball was the year's hard luck sport as the Viksundoubtedly had the best team potential in the league but still lost the championship. With a few more pitchers the Viks could have beaten almost any college team around. Only little Bob Hansengraduates and Martin will have fourteen returning lettermen. So far as we know Reimer is the onlydiamond mainstay who will go into the service. If Western ASB Number 21 $1.00 FREE CLEANINGSMITH'S CLEANERS Call . . We Haul Ph. 2796 2304 Cornwall doesn't win the Evergreen conference baseball title next year this individual is going to be very surprised. TRACK Track coach Ray Ciszekgoes back east for more graduate work and he admittedly wishes he could be here if only for the. trackseason. This year's great cinder squad won four track meets and lost only to Eastern and the strongVancouver Olympic club. It was an outstanding climax to the season to have all four of Western'srepresentatives at the NAIA meet in Walla Walla place first. The main reason Roger Knigge wasn'tpicked to go to Texas was that the person he Was tied with in the pole vault was a senior and Knigge ajunior. Knigge and the three outstanding Canadian athletes who are representing Western in Texasthis week, Ted Whan, Ken Swalwell and Jerry Swan, deserve all the credit they can get for their hardwork and magnificent performance this season. This does not mean taking anything away from therest of the trackmen because the whole team was good and all of its members can justly be proud ofbeing on it. Next season, believe it or not, Western should have every man back and probably somemore. There is a possibility of having fourteen lettermen back. Not one man graduates off the squad.Ciszek said, "I'm working on some very good men in our weak events and if we get them and one or twogood freshmen we will have the best track team in Western's history.] They will have a good chance of ^Winning the conference meet and T- really hate to leave, but that's the way it goes, I guess." We hateto see Ciszek go too for it was under him that the present squad started and developed and we know the trackmen would like to finish under Ciszek as much as he would like being here next year.

Holly Phono 994 By ROGER GROVDAHL Editor-Elect June 14 will be the fiftieth anniversary of theestablishment of the Student Loan fund here at Western. Probably very few people—even theadministrators—know how the loan fund got its start. This is the story of the start of this worthy causeand of the grand old lady: who began the fund. Some time ago I received a letter from a lady namedOlive M. Bruce. She wrote from her bed at North Bellingham hospital. She asked me to interview her fora story on the Student Loan fund since the golden anniversary of it was soon. I was met at the bedsidewith a strong handshake and a friendly smile from the 85 year old lady. She began her story of the earlydays in Bellingham and her part in developing certain traditions here at WWC. BACKGROUNDINTERESTING - Some background on this person would perhaps be interesting. She was born in theeast and began her career around Minneapolis. There she worked on a newspaper and carried on hercareer as a writer and journalist. When she was eighteen she was writing book reviews for a large paperin Chicago. She came to Washington with her first husband, John H. Leonard. Mr. Leonard becamethe editor of the Bellingham Herald. He was also a strong promoter for the amalgamation of the various towns into one city. During the early l?00's she lived at 614 Cedar street, the present site of the library.Mrs. Bruce watched Bellingham grow from the primitive town it was into the city it is today. She hasinnumerable stories of the old days and memories of friends who have since passed on.,, - According toMrs. Bruce, the founding of the Student Loan Fund grew out of an acute need. Around the turn of thecentury, Mrs. Bruce was living with her sister who was a teacher in the training school on campus. Thegray-haired lady looked blankly ahead as she recalled the status of the student in those days. Shesaid, "The students were very poor and had to fight for an education. Sometimes they didn't even havesoles on their shoes." NEED APPARENT The need for some type of loan system for students wasapparent. The dynamic Mrs. Bruce took it as her duty to set up a loan fund for college students. Shemet with Effie Wheeler, 1904 class president, and decided upon a plan. Mrs. Bruce * SturRexall DrugCo.

"TO BUY OR SELL, SEERAY OR MEL" Broadway at Girard Phones 113 and 7684 had the students bring anecdotes aboutcollege life. .With these everyday happenings, Olive Bruce wrote a twor-act play. She directed the play and'put a good amount of her own money into the production of the play. "HARD- WORK" "Everyoneworked very hard," Mrs. Bruce recalls, "and the kids were very proud when the play went off well." Theplay, which dealt some with the satirization of teachers, was put on at the old Beck ,theater and cost$400 a night to produce. The theater was sold out long before the night of the first presentation. -;'• Olive smiled as she thought of individual performances in the play. She remembered clearly asmall boy, named Johnny Mosely, who stole the show. This play was the start. Now the fund hasapproximately $31,000 to its credit. " Mrs. Bruce was very concerned with the character building ofyoung people. She said in her slight brogue, "Laddie, take pride in the loan fund and take pride in paying borrowed money back. The repaying of a loan builds character. Make character building a school slogan. The scholarship system is fine but it does not build character like the repaying of a loan does."SEQUOIA STORY With the main part of the interview over, the bedridden old newspaper womanbegan to reminisce about the early days again. She told the story of the Sequoia tree by the corner ofEdens hall. One of her good friends, John Bennett, was a horticulturist in the bay area. He would bringdifferent types of flora from other states to see if they would grow in Washington. He succeeded inmaking one Sequoia tree from California grow. The tree was destroyed during a brush fire. Mrs. Brucedecided to try to make a Sequoia grow. She made the one which now stands by Edens hall grow andkept it as a memorial to her old friend, John Bennett. The tree, is known to old timers as the Olive BruceSequoia. Even in the short interview, it was apparent that the lady had lived a, full life. She would neverbe unhappy because she had a tremendous store of memories. She spoke again and again of theimportance of character building. An interview with this grand wonderful woman would be arewarding' experience for anyone. She is the symbol of the pioneers who built eur Northwest.Lappenbusch Hearsey Attend Evergreen Conf. Herbert Hearsey and C. F.
