Students defend Fairhaven's 'flexibility' By Pat Bulmer FairhavenCollege offers quality, alternative education, but requires Western's support if it is to survive, Fairhavenfaculty members, students and supporters told Acting Provost Paul Ford Thursday afternoon. At ahearing to discuss the Instructional Program Review Committee's recommendation that Fairhaven bedismantled, Fairhaven Dean Dan Lamer said the College's "interdisciplinary programs make it one of themost practical places to attend college.'' Fairhaven offers students the "flexible education" they needto adapt to the future, he said. He criticized vocational courses for not offering this flexibility and said,"the vocational craze will pass." Lamer criticized the committee's report for not taking into accountthe "uniqueness and quality" of Fairhaven's program, even though the report stated that quality is acriterion by which programs should be judged. The report said Fairhaven should be eliminatedbecause of its high costs and decreasing enrollment?-"' Larner argued that Fairhaven is becoming morecost-efficient and its enrollment is up this quarter after last quarter's decline. But, he said, restoration ofreciprocity with British Columbia and active promotion of Fairhaven by Western would increaseenrollment even more. Associated Students President Mark Murphy said criticisms of too few freshmenand sophomore students . entering Fairhaven are unfair because most Fairhaven students transferto the college. Larner and others called for an end to recommendations that Fairhaven be closed. "Wecan't spend half our time fighting reports of closures and recommendations of closures when weshould be serving our students and promoting our college," he said. Faculty member Bob Keller saidFairhaven courses "help students learn to think for themselves." Murphy said Fairhaven isn't foreveryone. It's an alternative, he said. If it weren't for Fairhaven, many students wouldn't be going tocollege at all. His comments were echoed by other students. Student Jeffrey Longstaff added, "I nowlook forward to going to class. If it weren't for Fairhaven, I wouldn't be going to school." Other studentspraised Fairhaven's evaluation system, the dedication of its faculty members and the close student-faculty relationship. Liberal Studies professor Milt Krieger advised Western not to cut programs. Cuts inacademic programs should be a last resort, he said. He called for the recommendation to cut"Fairhaven "foolish." Lamer said Fairhaven is ready for the future. He criticized the committee's report for offering "no substantial arguments for its conclusions and no explicit vision for the university in thefuture." Krieger and Larner both pointed our that Fairhaven students are very active in university andcommunity affairs. Their invplvement in Western is well above their proportion ofthe student population, Krieger said. Catharine Stimpson of the Whatcom Community College's Board of Trustees advised Ford not to let money determine Fairhaven's future. She joined others in demanding that Fairhaven'squality be considered first. Collegiate status crucial to Huxley By Karen McCrackin Huxley Collegeshould retain its collegiate status rather than be reduced to a departmental program within the College of Arts and Sciences as the Instructional Program Review Committee recommended. Its potentialshould be recognized and the program strengthened to become a widely-visible environmental center.This was the message that Dean Richard Mayer of Huxley College gave to Acting Vice President ofAcademic Affairs Paul Ford at a hearing Friday to discuss the IPRC's recommenda-, tiohs aboutHuxley's future. Mayer, Huxley faculty, affiliated faculty members, business community leaders andstudents stressed the importance in retaining collegiate status in the two-hour meeting. "There is astriking hole in the report. There is no vision, no dream, no picture of what the university should be like 5to 10 years from now," Mayer said. "The Good Book says where there is no vision, the people perish. Ithink that's a possibility we need to consider. "Retrenchment into a com-partmental unit isn't theanswer," Mayer said. "I think that offers political safety, but not necessarily intellectual nurturance assome would have us believe. "Our message to you today is very simple. Huxley College needs to remain a collegiate unit at this university," Mayer told Ford, with the crowd expressing their approval withapplause. Flexibility, diversity and autonomy a college has is imperative to Huxley, if it is to continueits control of its curriculum development in order to meet the changing demands of society and if it isto continue to have its many research programs, Mayer said. This would be more difficult if Huxley werejust a department. Another reason for the need of collegiate status, he said, is that if Huxley is to retainits national and international visibility, it must not be lost in the Arts and Sciences. Three out-of-statestudents, including two from Europe, supported this view. AH said they chose Huxley over otherprograms because it "stood out as a place of excellence." Lynn Robbins, a Huxley professor,pointed out that one-third of Huxley's population are out-of-state students. "Huxley College provides thiscountry with a distinct advantage over other countries, including •• See HUXLEY/page 5 shouldstay at schools, council says By Gordon Weeks and Peggy Loetterle OLYMPIA—The Council forPost-Secondary Education recommended the control of tuition and fees be transferred to boards ofregents and trustees from the Legislature in a presentation before the House Higher Educationcommittee Thursday. Western's Board of Trustees Chairman Curtis J. Dalrymple said he would like tosee the plan adopted at Western. "I can't see how it would hurt," Dalrymple said. "If raising tuition would have a negative impact on enroilment, I doubt the board would raise the tuition with recklessabandon." The board has had only "informal" conversations about the plan, he added. The "ColoradoPlan" is currently being considered for the University of Washington and Washington State Universityonly. The proposal would permit trustees to impose university fees of up to 10 percent of resident tuition and fee rates of up to 30 percent for non-residents. All operating and university fees would be depositedin the universities' general local funds, which would assume the risks of revenue shortfalls. Thetrustees also would be empowered to increase student services and activities fees by 10 percent.Provision is made for increases in financial aid to partially offset increased fees. According to theCPE's six-year plan, the state should adopt the "Colorado Plan" as a means toward "local revenuegenerations and cost efficiency... while freeing institutional boards and administrators from processcontrols to manage creatively and efficiently." "We're suggesting that the colleges set tuitionstandards within the guidelines of the Legislature," CPE Executive Acting Coordinator Denis Currysaid. "We're not looking at a reversal, but an option." The CPE is recommending the plan be tested ateither the University of Washington or Washington State University in the 1983-85 biennium.Administrators at UW have been lobbying heavily for a test of the new plan on their campus, butstudents are afraid the plan would cost them money. "Students are concerned that trustees would beunpredictable and unaccountable," Western's Associated Students President Mark Murphy said. Currently, 40 of the 50 states follow the "Colorado Plan," Curry said. "Governing agents are earnest,responsible people and would have the institution's best interests at heart."

The committee came from a six-hour meeting Saturday with final decisions on its recommendations and a rough draft for the finalreport expected to be published today. Minor changes to the report may have been added betweenSaturday and today, committee chairman Joseph Crook said. Enhancement of student affairs andreduction for administrative staff are the main elements in the report. The committee recommendedthat student affairs programs, such as the Office of Student Life, the Academic Advisement Center,the Admissions Office, Minority Affairs and the Registrar's Office be expanded. The decisions werebased on an effort to "encourage the university's enrollment retention and student recruiting," Crookexplained. Full-year contracts of the administrative and classified staff will be reduced to 11-monthcontracts if the report is adopted Hertz talks of pub at town meeting By Laurie Jervis The first of aseries of "town hall" meetings with Bellingham Mayor Ken Hertz and Western's community took placeThursday evening in the Viking Union Lounge. About a dozen students attended the informal meeting to discuss with Hertz issues such as flooding, community-university relations, Bellingham's industry,Western's enrollment and a possible liquor license for an on-campus pub. The "town hall" meetingsare designed to establish communications between community members—in this case thecampus community—and City Hall representatives. Any pertinent concern can be raised fordiscussion. The question about a liquor license for Western was strongly rebuked by Hertz. He said thecity council has blocked past attempts for an on-campus "pub." "There's no need to have a pub in each neighborhood—and the campus is a neighborhood," he said. Places with liquor licenses belong in thebusiness district of this community, he said. Hertz said the residential area around campus can't handlethe traffic problems that would result from an on-campus bar. When questioned about Western'senrollment, Hertz said that he and most city officials want Western's enrollment to "at least stay at itscurrent level." "I think it would be a catastrophe if the university size dropped off," he said. Hertz alsosaid a new land use plan is being coordinated by the city and county. The plan would include a LakeWhatcom water1- quality study. A resident of Bellingham for 17 years, Hertz said he's seen therelationship between the university and the community improve. "We try to work together," he said.Hertz said he enjoyed a good relationship with university President G. Robert Ross' predecessor,Paul Olscamp, adding he's "heard a lot of good things about the (new) president." Referring to the floodsthat usually inundate Bellingham each winter, Hertz said lack of money is stalling construction of over-flow channels along Whatcom Creek. The city council first must agree with the current proposal, andthis "may be essentially a year (long) project," he said. Hertz also talked about the conflict thatexists among Bellingham residents concerning the determination of the city's future. "The communityhas two attitudes: We want to protect and maintain the quality of the environment, but we also need to grow. We have been unsuccessful in getting industry to this area," he said. "We first need to find out what we want, and then the specific industry can outline its plans. The community will then say yes orno to the industry," he said. For information about upcoming meetings in the "town hall" series, callRick Fackler at the City Planning Office, 676-6982. Diabetic info discussed The Whatcom County Unit of the American Diabetes Association will meet at 7 p.m. today in the Bellingham Public LibraryLecture Room. Kathy Kaspryk, R.N., will discuss "Care During Illness." For more information call 384-1719. said the recommendation will affect about 250 to 400 non-academic classified staff members.The recommendation, however, excludes the physical plant's employees on 12-month contractsbecause the committee thinks the plant has been severely hit by previous reductions in force. In fact, the committee will recommend the enhancement of the physical plant. Other decisions on administrative affairs include the evaluation of Administrative Systems Development's hardware in the computercenter, the evaluation of Bureau of Faculty Research, the eliminations of two administrative positionsin Wilson Library, the restructuring of reports to vice presidents and the restructuring of the office ofBusiness and Financial Affairs. Crook said the committee will suggest that money saved by reductionsin the administrative structure be replaced in student affairs operations. The report is expected to bepresented to Academic Vice President Paul Ford this afternoon, Crook said. Ford will publish thecommittee's recommendations in FAST, the faculty and staff publication and meet with people to hearcriticism and suggestions. He will submit his recommendations to Western President G. Robert Rosswho will review them before presenting them to the Board of Trustees. Photo by Jim Bacon Pro-lifespeakers, (left to right) Gary Thomas, Shirley Bobbink and Betty Green Pro-lifers decry abortion 'murder'By Jim Bacon Nearly 250 people gathered in the Viking Union Lounge Saturday heard abortion firmlydecried as murder. The "Rally for Life," sponsored by Western's Human Life Club, marked the tenthanniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to legalize abortion. "It's a sad case in which we'regathered this morning," Human Life Club President Marian Young told the audience, before introducing the first of several speakers. Young said that since the high court's decision, "at least 15 million(unborn) children have died." Former club president Doug Scott said "no legislative body, no electedrepresentatives legalized abortion in this country. Seven people in this entire country said abortion waslegal." On Jan. 22, 1973, the Supreme Court ruled in Roe vs. Wade that the right to decide to have anabortion belonged to the woman. It did impose some restrictions, such as requiring that abortions late inpregnancy be performed in hospitals. The court also ruled that the fetus is not a person, and therefore enjoys no constitutional rights. Pro-choice people argue adamantly that women must remain free tochoose abortion and resent any government intrusion onto that right. Many also argue that no one knows just when a fetus becomes a person. Anti-abortion advocates just as adamantly claim life and person-hood begin at conception. They see "abortion on demand" as murder and wanton disregard for humanlife. Abortion, he said, is "one of the most common medical procedures" today. "You cannot misssomeone you've never known," Scott said. "Therefore, we cannot comprehend what it is." ShirleyBobbink, a staff member of University Christian Ministries in Bellingham, said a "distorted view" of theliberated woman rejects the "significance" of childbearing. "God has designed us with femininefeatures," she said. "We have been equipped to bring life into this world. We are not required toovercome our sexuality and become like men." Debbie Carlson, who sang a pro-life song called"Killing Thousands," recalled the moment her stance against abortion was firmly solidified. She saidshe was helping clean out an abandoned abortion clinic. "I found a little bottle, and I held it up,'' she saidin a quiet but firm voice. "I picked up this little bottle and inside it was two little babies." She paused."And it never hit me so hard. They weren't just cells . . ." Gary Thomas, a Human Life Club adviser, said abortion kills four people: the doctor, the parents, and the fetus. Yet, he said, many peopleapparently don't see it that way, such as the hypothetical teenager who, Thomas said, after herabortion commented, "I feel so good, so light." He said that when she and her mother went shoppingafterward, many people never knew "they were the accomplices to a murder." IPRC report lacksinformation, ACC says By Debbie Romano The Academic Coordinating Commission hammered outthree advisory motions concerning the Instructional Program Review Committee's report during aspecial session Saturday morning. The recommendations were to be delivered to the Faculty Senatelast night by ACC Chairman Merrill Lewis. The IPRC report, released Jan. 14, proposed increases,reductions and possible eliminations of academic departments and colleges. Fairhaven College, along with three departments, were recommended for elimination. After an emotion-packed two hourdiscussion, the commission approved the following motions: • The ACC has reviewed the committee's report for factual matters and found there was not enough information relative to curricular issues tojustify our approval or disapproval of the recommendations of the committee for deletion ofdepartments or colleges. • There are definite serious present and future implications of therecommendations that 'have been made, but these cannot be fully explored in the time and with theinformation available to the commission in the report. We urge that the effects of the review processrecommendations on the curriculum, both short and long range, be explored before action is taken onthese recommendations. • The ACC finds the statement by the committee that they found itunproductive, if not impossible, to project what Western should be like in three, five or ten years, to beinconsistent with the development of short and long term curricular recommendations. At the ACC'sJan. 18 meeting, Faculty Senate President Skip Sailors requested the commissioners to do fourthings with the IPRC report. He wanted the ACC to review the document for factual matters and toreview it for compliance with the charge given to the IPRC last fall. Sailors also asked the commission to make an assessment of the recommendations of the committee regarding only those departmentsand colleges up for elimination. He asked that the rest of the report be considered later because of timecontraints. The last charge made to the ACC was for it to advise and counsel the senate in itsdeliberations. Discussion of the rest of the IPRC report will take place at the ACC's next regualr meetingon Feb. 1. Kayak rolling taught The Outdoor Program is sponsoring kayak-rolling 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.every Sunday in the Carver Gym pool. Cost is $1; kayaks will be furnished. ---------- Western Front - 1983 January 25 - Page 3 ---------- Perceptions Tuesday, January 25, 1983 Herpes victim asks for understanding • This is the third in aseries about herpes. The author has not been named to assure her anonymity. A lot of you don'tunderstand me. Many of you criticize me. Few of you respect me. I have herpes. The worst thing abouthaving herpes is the shame. Along with the physical scars, I carry along with me emotional scars,transmitted to me by embarrassed and revolted family and friends. The only thing more painful than myfirst case of herpes is having to tell someone I love that it is a part of me and always will be. And I feelashamed. It is true that doctors are frantically searching for a cure, saying that "it is only a smalldisease, so don't panic." But then I have to face the fact that until there is a cure, every man I sleep with,every man I love, will have to know. This is the legacy left to us. I remember when I graduated from highschool. I had a boyfriend who cared about me, a career ahead of me and I was as close to innocent as agirl could be. I remember hearing tales of girls who "put out," girls I had known all my life, and feelingsickened at their lack of good sense. Everything about me and my friends around me fit; it always wasnormal. As long as those adjectives were apt, we were okay. Things always went our way, and the world was a closed little town with pep rally days and football game nights. Somehow I ended up at Western. I was alone, ashamed of my failure with my boyfriend, frightened. Mostly, I was older. I decided tolaunch into what they call casual flirtation. When you are just eighteen, it seems right to jump into theworld. Soon I was seeing someone. It was, to me, wrong. I felt and I believed that the girl who looked atsomeone sprawled on her bed in the morning, turning from her make-up mirror to feel embarrassment,couldn't be me. I had begun the relationship out of loneliness for my old boyfriend, and I had stayed init, feeling lonely. The worst thing is that when I was in high school, they told me about dances, parties,meeting guys in classes. They didn't tell me about the shame—the utter self-disgust—I would feel when I realized that being a part of the sexual revolution would not mix with my values. I remember seeingfaces of my family, my grandmother even, when my boyfriend would come by my house late at night. The liberal-minded women of today might call this guilt a terrible thing, but looking back, I call what I did aterrible thing. To each his own conscience's dictation: If I sleep with someone out of a pure need to hugat night, it will come back to me later. I suppose I loved Tom in a way. He looked a little like my formerboyfriend. He showed me the "real" world. With him I was drunk for the first time. He gave me my firstsniff of pot. He played Rush and AC-DC; I played Carole King. Mainly, I suppose, he was kind. Iremember after he and I came back from my parents' home one weekend. I was feeling guilty and a littlerisque. We had made love by the fire while my parents were asleep. I sat in the car and decided that wewould have to break up. I wondered if perhaps I was a little unstable. People all around me were havingsexual relationships, but this was new to me, and I felt rotten. That week I began to feel physically ill. Icould barely manage walking. Every day it became more and more painful to go to the bathroom. In anavoidance tactic, I went less and less, and this made the pain far worse. After three days my roommatetold me I had no choice but to go to campus health services. She thought I had a venereal disease. Icouldn't tell Tom about her suspicions. I couldn't tell anyone. I could only tell myself that I was beingpunished—for cheating on Steve, who might be missing me; for betraying my family. For everything.The doctor slapped my legs together and said, "Looks like herpes to me." That was all. Now I think thedoctors on campus see so much of herpes, they have become numb to it. They build their defensemechanisms in anyway they can. But then, the cold way he told me—the way he stood and watched me cry, with a medical sheet wrapped around me and my legs dangling over the end of the examinationboard— made me feel the lowest creature on earth. I had never before and never since been a woman of so little pride as in the moment the doctor told me. I felt I was nothing. I had no past, no aunts who gave me perfume every Christmas, no photo albums and awards strung across my walls. I was an ignorant eighteen-year-old who had herpes simplex II. When I told my friend, she giggled and shifted in her chair. She is one of the kindest people I know, but she had no idea how to handle it. How do you tell aneighteen-year- old on her first time around that she picked the wrong guy? What is the high-poweredsystem of determining who of the innocent gets it and who do not? The thing I resented most aboutherpes was that suddenly everyone was my friend. People who hardly knew me started hugging me,avoiding my eyes as they did. I noticed that no one was eager to use the bathroom after me. Peopleseemed to have a morbid fascination with how it felt. It was like the horror novels and movies that serve as our excitement, like the front page story and photo of a rapist-murderer that holds us spellbound. Iwas a source of horror. When I told Tom, who hadn't known he had the virus, he ranted and raved abouthow he had spoiled the only innocent thing he had ever touched. He told me he couldn't stand thethought of himself. I said it was okay. I didn't mind. It wasn't his fault. We sounded vaguely like twopeople trading insurance after an auto accident. Things didn't work out between Tom and me. He thought it was because of herpes. I don't think so. I do feel resentment, remorse and shame for whathappened. I didn't care for him. I just needed someone to hug. But my freshman fling led to a markthat will travel with me for the rest of my life. I suppose there is justification in a person feeling put offby a woman with herpes. I just can't see it. Women can be cruel, heartless, unfaithful. These qualitiesare accepted. Just don't carry a virus in your body. For me, telling my parents was not as hard as somepeople might think. My parents are good and kind people, and I am one of the lucky ones who could go to them. When I told my father, he, in his understanding and logical way, asked me whether I needed aparticular medicine, whether I needed counseling. Both parents were trying very hard that Christmas tounderstand me, to empathize with their baby. I know it was a great struggle for them. I just couldn't see it because I was in the middle of pity and a great depression. That Christmas Only one thing was on my mind. My high school boyfriend would be back from college but I could not see him. Because theminute I did, he would know. He would see the great mark across my forehead and know I wasn't abeautiful baby anymore. For that reason I felt then that I could not walk with my dad down the aisle inthe beautiful white dress of my childhood dreams with a clear heart. I was taught that you married theman you loved and you learned about sex on your honeymoon. That Christmas, I realized that I wouldnever have the right to do that. I must tell the man I love, and hope he understands. All of these feelingsof guilt have eroded away now. That time was a traumatic and lonely one. I survived it and decided thatthere wouldbe men who didn't care about the disease. I would find someone who understood that I stillwas innocent. In my heart. I look at herpes now and the furor that surrounds it and I feel great empathyfor the men and women who have just contracted the disease. They have a long road ahead of thembefore they can completely dispel the guilt and shame that accompany the physical lesions. I trulybelieve that the connotations I felt when I got herpes are the fault of those who are scar-less. Theycannot understand the shame and pain of a person with herpes, and they make jokes, express disgustand shake their heads. These people I deplore. When I got herpes/my self-esteem was rock bottom. Noother social disease delivers such a shocking message of promiscuity, mistaken as it is, to theinnocent victim. Herpes should be thought of as only a virus—a cold that won't go away. Simplybecause we transmit it through our sexual activity and because of the taboo nature of anything sexuallyunclean, it is rumored to be the promiscuous person's disease. I am one of the lucky ones who hasherpes; I've had only two recurrences, and though they are extremely painful when they come, they donot arrive with regularity, so I can try to forget I have it. Herpes brought me far closer to my father. Wenow have a common bond. I also am lucky because I found someone who did understand. I met him afew months after that horrible Christmas, after some more awful experiences had gone by, and I wasvery reluctant to spoil the respect with my news. I waited two weeks . before I told him. Now I see thiswas wrong. While my feelings were all 1 could see, it was unfair to dangle my new friend, to delay thenews that I had herpes out of some misguided fear. He reacted far better than my expectations,almost with a nonchalant acceptance. He does not have herpes to this day. For this I am grateful. Inow know that the only thing worse than getting herpes would be to knowingly alter the path of another'slife with the disease. I still feel a great resentment when I hear people talking and laughing about thedisease, but now I wonder, who else in this group has herpes and is remaining silent? I wait for theday when everyone will see that herpes is not a mark of Cain, but a disease. In an age of just and fairmen and women, it should be treated with the same regard as diabetes, mononucleosis and any othercommon diseases. That age has yet to come. In my future relationships I recognize a need to not onlyfind someone who is understanding and fair, but also someone who can help me tell others that herpes is not a mark on their character, that it is not their fault. I can remember a time when my confidenceknew no bounds. Herpes changed that for me. Now I experience deep fears often, wondering if people Ilove will get herpes from me, wondering if I will have to wait every day, wondering when the virus willreturn. I miss the innocent and confident person I was, but I slowly am returning to that person. I'mnot asking for you to praise, reward or pity me. I'm just asking for you to try to understand me. D Fridaythe series will conclude with an article about the possibility of future medical treatments for herpes.Food service reps tour Western Western's food service specifications have been established for thefour companies contending for the S3 million account, to start Sept. 1. Last week approximately 20company representatives toured Western, Keith Guy, director of the Office of University Residences, ---------- Western Front - 1983 January 25 - Page 4 ---------- Opinion Tuesday, January 25, 1983 The Front Line Programs hit by CPE The Council for Post-Secondary Education has shot another dart at the ideal of quality education. It presented a preliminarydraft report to the House Higher Education Committee last week suggesting "duplicating degreeprograms" be considered for elimination. The CPE questioned the need for 49 master's degree programsand 116 undergraduate programs at Washington's state universities. That means some very basicacademic programs at Western may be u p for elimination if a similar program exists at another stateuniversity. The CPE is not recommending that small programs not normally considered standardequipment of a university be studied for possible elimination. Specifically the CPE recommended thatbasic programs at Western, such as anthropology, art history, economics, education, music andphilosophy, be reviewed. If this proposal comes to fruition, Western will not, honestly, be able to callitself a university. It would be unable to provide the well-rounded curriculum intrinsic to a university.Besides being an obvious attack on the principle of a broad education, the proposal ignores thatcorresponding programs at different schools have varying characters. Not all music programs are thesame, nor are all education or philosophy departments the same. This proposal is the most threatening to a liberal arts education to come from the CPE yet. If it continues to make proposals of this nature, the CPE deserves to be known as the Council Against Post-Secondary Education. Arts/ Sciences reportdrastic, lacks logic The report released last week by the College of Arts and Sciences calling forelimination of three of its programs was an overreaction to the economic dilemma facing Western. Theseven-member committee unanimously recommended the elimination of geography and regionalplanning, liberal studies and astronomy. That's more drastic than the Instructional Program ReviewCommittee's suggestions that liberal studies be maintained at current levels while the other two only bereduced. We won't argue whether these or other programs should be reduced, eliminated or left alone,but we do question the logic the committee used in making its recommendations. Geography, forexample, may not be "dynamic" nationally, as the committee said, but what is not dynamic in NorthDakota or Rhode Island may be very dynamic here. Much of the land around Puget Sound is. made up ofglacial deposits, some of which make ideal farmland because of the fairly level terrain and well-drainedsoil. Developers like it, too. It is cheaper and easier for them to build on this land than on the more rockyhilly land, which has thinner soil and poor drainage. This land, incidentally, is lousy for farmland.(Obviously, in this rainy climate, good drainage is important.) Disputes about the development of this land have become a hot political issue in recent years; proper land use and a knowledge of how humans andthe land can interact are a principal concern to geographers and planners. We also disagree with thecommittee's view that numbers would distract from its arguments. It's not enough to merely say^thatgeography, for instance, has suffered declining enrollment across the nation—show us how much it hasdeclined. We applaud the arts and sciences committee's work, but we believe it should have been done a little more carefully. The Western Front .

He wrote his thesis on the rhetoric of the abortion issue. By Gary Gillespie When wesay, "I'm not pro-abortion, I'm pro-choice," we are guilty of a basic inconsistency. If the fetus simply is a"blob of tissue" then why would anyone faced with the decision to abort have personal reservations? Topersonally oppose abortion but still defend it as a right is inconsistent. Abortion is either the harmless"termination of the conceptual product," or the taking of a human life. We can't have it both ways.Since 1973 when the Supreme Court adopted a "freedom of choice" philosophy on abortion, thirteen million preborn children have been destroyed. The yearly count has risen to 1.55 million and increasesannually. Tragically, 150,000 of these abortions are performed in the latter two thirds of pregnancy,when the fetus, if born alive, would be considered a premature infant. Researcher J.A.T. Noonan citesevidence showing that these unborn children must experience "severe pain" when poisoned by acid-likesolution used in "salting out" abortions. With the full blessing of United States law, "the freedom ofchoice" is exercised four thousand times a day in this country. And if abortions were again illegal?Then thousands of women, we are told, would suffer and die in the "back alley." Dr. Bernard Nathanson,co-founder of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (NARAD and once the director ofthe world's largest abortion clinic, helped overturn laws protecting unborn life in New York and acrossthe country by using the "back alley death" argument. In testimony before Congress he said as many as 10,000 women die each year in that manner. In 1980, however, he admitted these figures were untrue,that the real death rate before legalization was around 250. "We fed the public a line of deceit,dishonesty, a fabrication of statistics and figures," Nathanson said. He resigned from NARAL in 1973after doing research in fetology, and came to the conclusion that an unborn child is medically nodifferent than a newborn child. Dr. Nathanson is an atheist and based his reversal of opinion strictly onscientific data and secular values. The pro-choice case is apparently so weak that advocatessometimes resort to ad homenim blows below the belt, dismissing opponents as "fundamentalists" or"Catholics." But as Nathanson points out, abortion is no more a ' religious issue than was the Vietnam war or civil rights. In fact, many of the same people who spoke out against the war and marched for civilrights are today moved by their humanitarian ethics to oppose abortion as well. Civil rights activistsJesse Jackson, Cesar Chavez and Dick Gregory are against abortion. Liberal anti-war senatorsMark Hatfield, Harold Hughes, William Proxmire and Thomas Eagelton are likewise anti-abortion.Prolife feminist Juli Loesch, founder of Feminists for Life, argues that if the women's movement wants toavoid another humiliating ERA defeat, it should listen to the dissenting prolife voices in its ranks.According to Loesch, all of the nineteenth century feminists were prolife, including Elizabeth CattyStanton, who condemned abortion as "male imposed degregation of women" and "murder." Speakingof co-workers in the peace movement, Loesch remarks: "It would never occur to us to say, 'for privatemoral reasons I don't personally condone nuclear arms, but I really can't impose my feelings on myfellow citizens who don't hold the same religious beliefs—and certainly each nation has the right to ---------- Western Front - 1983 January 25 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, J a n u a r y 25, 1983 Western Front 5 News nates College hearings begin A hearing for theCollege of Business and Education to respond to the Instructional Program Review Committee's report will be today.

Denis Curry CPE Executive CoordinatorDiversity, stability at stake IPRC report approved Huxley lt; w o u l d die gt; as department by Planning Council By Eric Danielson Fulfilling its charge to consider program eliminations recommended by the Instructional Program Review Committee, the Planning Council regretfully approved the sections ofthe report dealing with Fairhaven College and interdisciplinary studies. At a special meeting Friday, thecouncil discussed whether senior Fairhaven faculty could be assimilated into the liberal studiesdepartment after the closure of the college. But James Moore of the Business department, who served on the review committee, opposed the idea. "It would make liberal studies overstaffed and put the lowseniority liberal studies faculty in trouble," Moore said. Richard Covington of the education departmentexpressed regret at the demise of Fairhaven, but didn't feel strong enough to make a motion. Most of the council, except for Moore, didn't like VALENTINES 1220 NO. STATE ST.

"I reallyhate to see the interd i s c i p l i n a r y arts department eliminated," Covington said. The council did,however, decide to add a clause stating that interdisciplinary studies, while not pushed as heavily asformerly, still should be made available as an alternative. "We've all encountered students who didn't fit into the nice, tight holes typical of programs. With the demise of Fairhaven, we should encourageinterdisciplinary arts," said Eugene Zoro of the music department. Moore also repeatedly cited thereport released by t h e College of Arts and Sciences as reason why Fairhaven, Huxley and liberalstudies should be eliminated in favor of business and computer science courses. But other membersof the council objected to u s e of that report and defended Western as a liberal arts school. 1 'TheDean ot Arts a n d Sciences has taken no action. This report does not represent the thinking of amajority of people in arts and sciences. It is an advisory report only," said Marvin Olmstead of thespeech department. • HUXLEY, from page 1 mine, in t he field of environmental studies. A fact youshould be proud of. Do you wish to go backward to a point where other countries are just beginning? Ihope not," Axel Franzmann of West Germany said. Two spokesmen from the business communityspoke in favor of Huxley. One is t h e director of the Chamber of Commerce. The other is the ChiefEngineer at Georgia-Pacific and is a member of Huxley's Advisory Council, which meets with Huxleytwice a year. Mayer pointed out that only with collegiate status could Huxley have such close ties with the community. The IPRC report cites declining enrollment as a reason for its recommendations. Inresponse, Mayer said one reason for the decline is t he 10 percent overall decline on all campuses.Another reason is t he out-of-state tuition hike that reduced enrollment in that area from one-third of thepopulation to one-fourth. Finally, tougher admission requirements and a tougher program has put Huxleyin a "lag phase" while it waits a n ew type of community. Although enrollment was down in t h e fall, thisquarter Huxley had an increase.

This means that the college is attracting more students. The other reason givenfor the demotion of Huxley is cost. But Mayer pointed out that Huxley is a "cost-center," as are 60percent of Western's programs. "This is not an industry or a profit-making organization," he said.Huxley only has 2.2 percent of the university's faculty;but it generates 5.1 percent of the totalextramural funding for t he university, he said. "I think if we become a d e p a r t m e n t our enrollment would really decrease, and our cost to the university would be even greater. Then we'd be supportinga limping unit as a department," Robbins said. John Miles, a Huxley faculty member, referred Ford to the 1967 Broad Report that established Huxley College. He said the original reasons for makingenvironmental studies a college and not a department still are true today: its interdisciplinary approach."We have defined the environmental studies field. Huxley plays a leading role in the nation." He urgedthat Huxley should be allowed to keep its current status because the college is "on a roll." Huxley'smission is to be an interdisciplinary college, "concerned with the environment, learning principles, with students learning disciplinary know-how and interdisciplinary understandilng. Mayer also asked Fordto retain all full-time equivalent faculty members. He said Huxley already has lost 17 percent of itsfaculty — another loss would increase that to 24 percent. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, theloss would be greater proportionally, and would be far greater than any potential gain. He urged Ford tocarefully weigh any short-term gains against what would be lost. Ford asked students to write himstatements with their viewpoints by Jan. 28.«SSSSSSSSSSSSSS^SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS; Coachman Inn % gt;- MOTEL * 676-0670 « KEGS SPECIAL to go -2^- lt;b $29.19 Beer Cups Available (plus tax) I J L with this couponExpires 2:-1-83 BEECH HOUSE PUB 113 E.

Western's bid to get back into playoff contention was almost a losing one,however, as the War-warriors, now 2-7 in district play, nearly stymied the run-and-gun Vikes with slow-down tactics. The visitors led at the half by ten 28-18. At the start of the second half, Western came outin a man-toman defense, something that Lewis and Clark couldn't handle. "We did it to pickup thepace," Vike guard Larry Craven said of the move. "They're not a quick team." The change of pace andguard Bob Peters seemed to be the right combination for Western. Peters scored nine points in one six-and- a-half-minute second half stretch, most coming off fast breaks that the man-to-man defensecreated. Western's lead swelled to six points after forward Todd Bailey canned a jumper with 4:15 left to go in the game. But the Vikings almost blew that lead when they missed the front end of several one-and-one free throw tries down the stretch. Luckily for Western, the Warriors were unable to capitalizeand went the final 2:52 without scoring a point. "We h a d several opportunities; but we had some stupidsurnov-ers, really idiotic things, Warrior Coach Dick Hannan said. The victory had special meaning for Assistant Viking Coach Bob Grisham, who coached at Lewis and Clark State for three years beforecoming to Western. "It's always nice to beat someone you've worked for for three years," Grishamsaid with a smile. "When you're down ten at the half, you've got to go after them." Peters led the secondhalf charge, scoring 13 points and pul-l i n g down six r e b o u n d s, achievements that earned thefavor of Coach Bill Westphal. "Peters is t he type of player that I've had the best success coaching,"Westphal said. "He plays within his abilities every night." Center Steve Maul also turned in a solidperformance, scoring ten points and hauling in seven rebounds. Western plays tonight in Bur-naby, B.C. against Simon Fraser.

Franks' successfulconversions are typically met with thunderous ovations. Come on Coach We need a score and Bob'sbutt is getting sore Friends of Bob Franks Meet Bob Franks, the irrepressible captain of the GreenHornets. Bob is 6'4", a heck of a nice guy and one of Western's most popular varsity basketballplayers. Unfortunately, he is also one of the least used. Franks has played only 21 minutes in sevengames this season, but as Sports Information Director Paul Madison explains, t h o s e figures aregenerous because Western statisticians round off minutes played. That means if Bob gets in for, say,25 seconds, he is credited with a full minute of action. But consider what Franks and his ferventfollowers do in so little time. A small but highly organized band of Frank's fanatics inevitably beginimploring Viking Coach Bill Westphal to call on the services of his lanky forward. Others in the crowdquickly join the cause and by the time "Twenty-Two Second Bob" is ready to check in, the Carver Gymmultitudes have whipped themselves into a full-blown, honest to God frenzy. "It's makin' my head big,and I love it," Franks says of his brief but tumultuous receptions. "I love the a t t e n t i o n . Whowouldn't?" What Bob would really appreciate, however, is a chance to showcase his talents in a lessabridged fashion. "I love to just get the ball and go, go Go," he says. "That's part of the problem. I loosecontrol sometimes. Every coach has always told me that." Indeed, even his former mentor, the now-retired Chuck Randall, who saw Franks through his sophomore season here, likens Franks to a "racehorse you have a heck of a time" getting into the stall. "Ifyou can corral him," Randall insists, "thebugger can win you a lot of races." Franks has, at least, won a lot of hearts, as witnessed by Frontreporter Chris Caviezel. Caviezel worked his way through Saturday night's crowd trying to find out whyfans react to Franks the way they do. Here's what he found. —"He's a cult figure. He hot- . dogs whenhe comes in." Glen Borthistle, sophomore —"He has a lot of friends and everybody likes him."Cheerleader Joyce Taylor, junior —"He's the most enthusiastic guy. He gets more psyched thananybody else." Jocko Burks, junior — "He's like DEVO, something, Assistant Coach Bob Grisham iseven more pointed in his evaluation of Franks: "Every time h e touches the ball you know something is going to happen one way o r another," Grisham said. An industrial technology major, Franks is atonce acquiescent and frustrated by his limited role on the team thus far. "I've always believed thatwhatever the coach says goes," Franks contends, but later he adds that he'll never get used to sittingon the bench. "I'll never give up. I'll never stop putting out. I enjoy practices." Tnat's understandable. In a sense, practice has provided Franks with his only substantial energy outlet. There, he captains theesteemed Green Hornets, a collection of substitutes Westphal uses to scrimmage against Photo byKris Franich Never one to duck out of the spotlight, Western's renowned bench dweller says of his fans:"I love every one of them." his regulars.

Skaters waDop Tacoma, twice By Pat Buhner Western'shockey team took two games this weekend from the "Senior A" Tacoma Blackhawks at the BakerviewIce Arena. Saturday night, Western won a tightly-contested, hard-hitting affair, 6-4, in front of about 100fans. Sunday morning, with fewer than 40 fans in attendance, the Vikings skated past the Blackhawks 11-4. Saturday's contest was marked by good, exciting action intermingled with poor passing anddull center ice play. Western led 2-0 after the opening period on a short-handed goal by BarryMatthisen and Dale Zelter's powerplay effort. Franks waits A few early penalties were called, but the first sign of rough play occurred with two minutes left in the period. Tacoma's Steve Tschabold dropped hisgloves and challenged Viking defense-man Scott MacCaskill to a fight. Tschabold was intercepted bythe linesmen and sent to the penalty box, but he continued his rough play in the second period. TheVikings led 3-1 at the end of the second period. A Tacoma powerplay goal moved the Blackhawkswithin one, but late in the period MacCaskill countered for Western. The teams traded six goals in thethird period as Tacoma knotted the score twice but couldn't take the lead. Dave Higgins scored twiceand Grant Matthisen once for Western in the third. Vikings' coach John Utendale criticized refereeRandy Kuehn for calling too many penalties. Kuehn "tried to show that he was in control," Utendale said, but he overdid it. On Sunday, the Vikings introduced their new white and blue jerseys, while injuredcaptain Todd Thachuk took over the coaching from Utendale, who had other commitments.

Women split pair By Tim Mahoney Western's women's basketballteam traveled through the Inland Empire this weekend and ran into some double trouble, dropping a76-68 game to Lewis and Clark State in Idaho Friday night before barely edging a struggling Centralsquad in Ellensburg, 64-56. "We played a very gutsy game," Viking Head Coach Lynda Goodrich said of the overtime loss to the Warriors. "We fought as hard as we could." Goodrich singled out Lewis andClark State's "very aggressive defense" Western managed to crawl within two points with 56 secondsleft in the game, but a six-point Warrior blast settled the matter for good. Saturday night saw the Vikings invade Ellensburg only to find themselves engaged in an unexpectedly tough battle with the haplessCentral Wildcats, who have lost 37 of their last 38 games. Trailing by two at the half, the Vikings finallytook control with less than five minutes remaining in the contest, pulling ahead 55-46. This weekendWestern will again travel east of the Cascades for a Friday night game in Spokane against GonzagaUniversity and a Saturday meeting with Whitworth. Western is now 11-6 on the season and 9-2 indistrict play. The women don't play at home until Feb. 4 versus the University of Portland.

Themost notable aspect of the show, judging by the crowd's reaction and the band's liveliness, is thatthroughout their past two-and-a-half-year recording dormancy the Heats have somehow remained ontop. How long the band's popularity could have gone on at this same level without new recordingswon't ever be known now that their new album is scheduled for release in mid- February. Recorded live at the Astor Park in Seattle, the album is an unusual venture in that the songs have never beenrecorded before by. the band. Most live albums are comprised of hits previously recorded on other group albums. The recording dormancy since "Have an Idea" was released late in 1980, was primarily due tolongstanding differences with their management by Albatross Records, which finally resulted in a breakin September of last year. "For them the album was a demo for the national record companies. Wecould have sold 50,000 copies if they pushed it. Instead it sold 15,000 copies. Albatross didn't want tobe a record company. They didn't want to do the work involved in promoting an album," Short said. Theblame for the apparent failure of the Heats' MTV video of "In O.ir Town" is placed by the band onAlbatross' poor management. • - • • - • - - • Photo by Blair Kooistra "Everyone wants to bemore successful than they are. We don't feel like we're lowering ourselves to play somewhere. lean have a better time playing a club than lean a big concert hall. " —Steve Pearson, The Heats Leaving Albatrossand turning down national label offers has been better for the band by preserving its freedom, Clacksaid. "It's to your advantage to be on an independent label. We could have changed and got a majorlabel, but instead we're pretty much self-sufficient," Clack said. Former bass player Keith Lilly wasreplaced by Wayne Clack shortly after the album was released. Lilly's replacement was largely due tohis loss of interest and lack of skill, Short said. Clack first saw the Heats perform at a club in SanJose where his band played regularly. "I liked Don and Steve and they played the kind of material Iloved, but I couldn't figure out what Keith was doing in the band. I decided they needed a rhythm sectionand went up and said if they needed a bass player to call me," Clack said. Just over two months laterPearson called Clack and he came to Seattle for an audition. When the audition ended, Clack was hiredon the spot. Later the night of the audition, Clack and the rest of the band went out to see the Impacts,whose drummer was then Rick Bourgoin. Clack was impressed with Bourgoin but decided to try working with the Heats' former drummer Kenny Deans. "But Kenny didn't have a kick foot or a sense of meter,"Clack said. "I liked him personally and it got real tough. But you gotta be able to play," Clack said."Everybody is as strong as the next guy now. Since we got rid of the weak links we have a lot balls-iersound," Clack said. The one thing that has kept the Heats' momentum at its high, level is that this bandloves to play clubs. The band members thrive on the atmosphere of a close audience. To them playingclubs is not just a hardship to go through in order to play a better place in the future. Any band thatdoes feel that way, shouldn't be playing, Pearson said. "Everyone wants to be more successful thanthey are. We don't feel like we're lowering ourselves to play somewhere. I can have a better timeplaying a club than I can a big concert hall," Pearson said. "People who feel like they have to play clubs but hate it are lying to themselves. If he hates it he shouldn't be doing it," Clacksaid. The centerpiece ofthe Heats seems to be their individuality as they refuse to be compared to any sound or band. "Wedon't chase trends. When Flock of Seagulls hit it big we didn't buy a synthesizer. Just because they'rebuying potatoes this week we're not going to be potatoes," Clack said. The only danger in playing clubs is that your music can begin to be directed exclusively 'towards the club atmosphere. In other words,you can become just a dance band. The Cowboys are a good example. Hopefully, the Heats will avoidthis. The Heats' strong point continues to be their vocal harmonies which sound like no one else.Other than that, it is difficult to describe what their music is about or what the substance of the band is.Still, the music continues to be high quality even without messages or connecting themes.Somewhere in the band there is a quality making it different, but no word in the English language hasbeen created for it. Maybe we should just follow the advice of Pete Townshend from the movie "The KidsAre Alright." "Don't try to analyze the Who because it won't stand up to it." ... 10% off all candy 4•^college students only with ad coupon Also, 50% off on toys and gifts until Jan. 30, 1983 tm YumYum Tree V 1200 Harris—in the MARKETPLACE t/L Coupon good until J a n . ^ , 1983 1 ? !

XLII—•NO. 26 Western Washington College, Bellingham, Washington Friday, April 21, 1944 fiom Wkele (with, the editor) Editor's Note: Because of the importance of this material, it has been substituted in place of the weekly editorial that appears in this column. • With the presentation of postwar problems dominating conference _ speeches and discussions, ' prominent Seattle and local citizens met last Friday under WW'C sponsorship. Beginning with an 11 o'clock assembly in the college auditorium, ' the Coriference on Postwar Problems extended through the day with' college and community programs. It Mustn't Happen Again After being introduced by Dr. W. W. Haggard, C. Eden Quainton, chairman of the Northwest Commission to Study Peace, told the morning audience, "The great basic problem facing the world today is . to insure that another world war does not happen." He had pointed out that 'in postwar planning, absolute perfection is not possible soon. Although he scorned pessimism, Prof. Quainton felt that too much optimism meant disillusionment. He concluded his address, "Problems of Postwar Setttlement" „-J«4thJ^e_.sta,teine^ he realized was remote from the public's mind. He said, "If we are not able to produce a non-warring world, we will have to devote all our energey* to preparing for a third worlds war." "We Need To See Things In Color" "What To Do About It" was the topic of Linden A. Mander, professor of political science at the University of Washington, who attempted to answer Dr. Quainton's address for the assembly audience. Prof. Mander proposed the international inspection of civil airways. He cited the necessity for the reduction of mentaf strain. He realized "the need for the capacity to see things which are talked about in abstractions in color or personality." He emphatically told students that they should seek out every practical way to form groups, to write articles, and to write plays that will help make people understand' the principles of democracy. "Your own inventiveness and the determination to search and not give in is important," he declared. Tradition Not Adequate Following the assembly, a luncheon presided over by Victor H. Hoppe of the WWC speech department, was held in Edens hall. General secretary of the Seattle YMCA, Wesley F. Rennie, was the luncheon speaker and presented, "New Directions for American Policy." . Mr. Rennie clarified the fact that in a postwar situation, tradition would not be adequate. He felt that it would be inadequate to rely upon balance of power. With obvious study as a background, Mr. Rennie clearly outlined a policy. His first point was the participation of the U. S. in an inclusive world organization. The second was that this organization should have the power to prevent aggressive war and to. bring about peaceful changes. The machinery ^behind this system would be an v XCkmtinued on Page Pour) Campus Day Heads Decide Lakewood Trek Impossible This Year • "Because of the transportation shortages, the annual Campus Day celebration will have to be held on the campus," Don Eldridge, chairman of the event, announced after the first meeting with co-workers. With May 10 as the date set, the following committees have begun work for the day: publicity, Cale Campbell; assembly, Margaret Moyer; work program, Herb Witt; lunch, Margaret Richards; dance, Virginia Sorgen-frei; sports, Larry Munizza; sanitary engineer, Roy Wark; stunts, Mary Louise Burke; and tickets, Kathy Ashe. In other: years the event has been held at Lakewood, but the chairman believes any arrangement of this nature to be impossible this year. Schuberg Awarded Service Honors Second Lieutenant John A. ~Scluibergr —.who -last attended. Western Washington College in 194.1 prior to his entrance into _the Army Air Force, has recently been awarded the Air Medal and an Oak Leaf Cluster for exceptional meritorious achievement while participating in ten separate combat missions over continental Europe. The lieutenant was commissioned July 10, 1943, after completion of navigation training at Mather Field, Calif He received his overseas pre-combat training at Great Falls, Montana. Schuberg was a transfer to WWC from Washington State College. ' r Guest Artist Bushell Soloist, Conductor • Don Bushell, member of WW CE"s faculty, was guest artist and conductor for the Bremerton Symphony orchestra last Monday. For his cello solo, Bushell with complete artistry played the "Variations on a Rococo Theme" by Tschaikowsky. Making a big hit as guest conductor, he conducted the "Egmont Overture" by Beethoven. The regular conductor, Walter C. Welke, usually conducts the orchestra, which is made up of local musicians and some army and navy men. One of the-horn players was a soldier from Fort Lawton. The night of the performance the admiral of a ship gave a party and two navy oboe players were unable to perform. In their place two oboe players came from Seattle and Mr. Bushell rehearsed them alone the afternoon of the performance. AWS Sponsor Sports Party • Badminton, swimming, and folk dancing will be featured at the AWS party for all the women students in the gymnasium a week from today, April 28. Plans had been made to have a dance and ask men from Whidby Island, naval base but there was not enough time for arrangements to be completed. Iris Bowden, general chairman, promises that the refreshments will be something "extra special." Committees are: entertainment, Betty Anderson, Vinnie Zanchich, Jean Orphan, Allene Rue; decorations, Minerva Kern, Mildred Spromberg, Virgie Sorgenfrei, Joyce Ackley; faculty guests, Ruth Mcln-nes, Gerry Ludens, Maryanne Golly; refreshments, Crystal Ackerman, Georgia Driver, Nell Kosola, Jean Wittier, Barbara Caldwell; cleanup, Alice Anderson, Daisy Earling, Barbara Gillies, Amy Jean Allen; admission, Peggy Custer, Gale Hunter, June Shomshock. Collegian Receives First Class Rate • Rating the WWCollegian as first-class compared to all other national college papers of its size, a certificate of award was in the Collegian mailbox last week as evidence that the All-American Newspaper Critical Service considered last year's paper "excellent." Editor Pat Scott mad recently entered the WWCollegian editions of the winter quarter of 1943-1944. The certificate, sent by the Associated Collegiate Press of N. S.P. A., is on display in the publications office. As the accompanying letter stated, "The WWCollegian staff has every right to be proud of their achievement." Artists' Part in War Discussed at Meet • Even artists have their part in the war effort, and this, along with postwar art plans will be a keynote discussion 'when the, Washington Artists Association holds . their annual convention in Seattle this week-end. Miss Hazel Plympton and. Miss Hazel Breakey, art instructors of WWC, will attend toe convention which is being held at the University of Washington. Miss Plympton, vice president of the. Artists Asociation, serves as a regional director, and also edited their recent bulletin which detailed the coming convention. Bovee Chosen Chief; Anderson Manager Board Elects Editor and Business Manager, Appoints Sivertson Lounge Head, Approves Eleven Athletic Awards • Lucille Bovee.and Marilyn Anderson head the WWCollegian staff for next year as a result of the Board of Control meeting Wednesday., The board passed two other important measures this week. Lucille Bovee, a freshman from Cashmere and 1944-45 editor of the WWCollegian, has maintained a 3.18 average besides working on the Collegian staff for three consecutive quarters. Lucille plans to continue in the field of journalism after completing two years at WWC. • . Marilyn Anderson, Studes Broadcast Collegiate News • Spring has brought a rebirth of radiobroadcasting interest, and under the direction of V. H. Hoppe, speech instructor, a class is preparing itself to go on the air as a representative of the college. Next Thursday at 4 p. m. over KVOS the class will present the first of a series of broadcasts with Don Neal as master of ceremonies. Those taking part in the program are Barabara te-Hennepe, Georgia , Colouizis, Beatrice Ford, and Wil-helmine Leiser. Other members of the class who are responsible for the script are Lucille Bovee, editor; Jean Knud-sen, Cale Campbell, Betty Herr, and Evelyn • Mott. John Germain will act as technician. Strange Interview Puzzles Pianist • Examining a fingernail, broken during his brilliant performance in Jast -^Tuesday's ^assembly, Xamar Crowson, noted young pianist jokingly declared it would take more than a manicure to fix it. Rapidly continuing, the tall lanky seventeen-year-old pianist said that at Reed college he is studying history, which is boring; literature, which is more boring; and Russian, which is very hard. He also takes P. E. and likes to swim. When asked if he had any extra-curricular activities he quickly answered, "Why yes—music!" At this point he assumed a rather puzzled expression, remarking that the interview was not running according to the usual form. It seems always he was asked first—"What is your favorite composer?" and second, "What do you consider your greatest thrill?" Laughingly he answered his own question and said that he felt one shouldn't have a favorite composer because then you wouldn't do justice to the others. Displaying a continuous friendly smile, Crowson explained that it was very hard to find time to practice and usually he did so at the expense of his school work. He quickly added, "They're very nice to me about it though." Last Deadline Met; Klipsun Complete • "The Klipsun has finally started on towards the finished road," stated editor Lorraine McConnell "when the deadline for turning in the copy was met." With the copy in and t^e covers here, the staff is anxiously awaiting the proof which is the last step before a finished Klipsun can be handed out. The annuals will be distributed to students and faculty the latter part of May. freshman, is next year's business manager of the WWCollegian.

Since Lakewood was purchased, students have spent either the day .before, or the first part of Cam- .pus .Day in cleaning up weeds and brush that have sprung up since the last trip out there, f Some of the women have always pitched in and cleaned up the cabin. Are we going to let the place overrun with brush for.the duration? And then, when the boys and girls in the; service come home again, we can let them chop their way in. But if Lakeway can't be worked out for Campus Day, why'can't students and faculty trek to Whatcom Falls park?

" "Y-I-C-T-O-R-Y, victory, victory," he repeats, "This garden can't be beat!" How true, maybe it can't but he surely should be. As a doctor of foolology, I ask you, "Is anyone sane who goes around munching raw turnips and dragging everyone within a' radius of 26 2/3 feet in to look at row upon row of green stubs poking their heads out of an otherwise peaceful earth?" gt;amtt gt;{" Is not one crazy who gets up at the crack of dawn, grabs a hoe, shovel, and other crude looking implements, and stumbles out into the dark blue yonder to throw a little dirt around? At that one'd think the blighter would have enough sense to come in during the heat of the noonday sun, but n o ne just takes a gulp of milk (?) and then goes on his merry way playing nursemaid to a niess of the neighbors and continues to spread a little dirt hither and yon.

Many of the women athietes are showing plenty of ability when it comes to socking that old. "iPuloti." For some real excitement you'students should all come out Tuesday evening and see the teams in action. ' • The Cubby Hole by cale Campbell SAM, THE MIRACLE MAN-Formany years now, the name Carver has been a headliner in the sports wortd around Bellingham, WWC, and the Northwest for his outstanding athletic squads. High point in Sam Carver's reign has been his championship golf teams that have walked home with the Wmco silver for the past ten years straight. i Sam started out at Western Washihgtdn by being head tutor of all major sports and organizer of the school's intramural program. He has been a hard and consistent worker and he can always be depended on for his help and guidance in all student affairs. As a track coach, Sam Is a hard man to top in the teaching of fundamentals. He has turned out many good cinder standouts and among the best is former world two-mile record holder, Norman Bright. Carver can be seen any day in the spring either out on the track clocking his men or out on the Lakeway greens showing his divot diggers how to make an approach or a rough shot. Coach Carver is known as a builder of character and honesty and is truly a great sports figure and man. • • ' . ' • ' •' WWC BOASTS MANY GOOD FEMALE ATHLETES Georgia Driver leads the parade for her all-around athletic ability as she has many events that she can perform amply well. Among- her top ate Softball and basketball as she is outstanding in both. Crystal Ackerman, the school's number one swimming star, is another very talented person in the field of athletics. Criss made a big name for herself in the last year's swimming meet by helping to break a couple of records and forcing Ruth Lauber to swim a record smashing backstroke race to beat her. Vincella Zanich, an all-league choice in last summer's mixed intramural softball circuit, is also a leader in the competitive sports program for women. She hustles no matter what the event is or how, far her team is behind. Alice Marie Anderson, number one moundsman in the women's softball program, is a real competitor in any sport. Frances Benson, a junior transfer from the University, has been a big help to any of the girl's teams :she has performed on... Softballers, take a warning this girl knows her oats. Iris Bowden, the general manager for the WRA, is a' pace setter in her own right and won't take a back seat from, anyone. Jean Elaine Mulvaney, .' last year's womens tennis champion and for two years holder of the city crown, is another Miss Tops in the athletic realm. Emily Gilmore, a girl that is little heard of because of her strenuous chemistry course, will give any of those women diving and swimming standouts some real competition. Pat Scott, this year's editor, proves to be a girl with many talents! Pat is noble competition in any class on the tennis court. Rachel Blekkink was a ball of fire in the women's basketball league and is a likely repeater in the softball circuit. Barbara Caldwell is another top ranker who has made consistent showings in all branches of women's athletics. Merrie Virginia Erlandson and Amy Jean Allen are two lassies who show ; some sweet diving technique on the low board in the college pool. Very few schools can boast a Womens athletic program on as \iigh a t: lt;oa^y^i^i}ud; of WWC and it is one in a moon that toill hai)e so many rUipmngers. ••'••;• Emily Gilmore Talented Gal • Quiet, studious, attractive, and athletically inclined is a good description of the week's number one sports figure, Emily Gilmore. Transfering from Washington State college where she studied last year, Emily has found her way to the top of the pile for outstanding ability in athletics. Majoring in science, she finds little time to compete in the majority of activities. Miss Gilmore, who is ranked as one of the topnotchers in the swimming spotlight on the campus, will be out to show her wares in the coming swimming carnival sponsored by the women students on May 22. Her diving ability is close to excellent and with a little practice, would be able to stand in with the best in the field. She is also a better than fair badminton and basketball player and is seen frequently participating in both. Emily graduated from the local high school where she also made quite a name for herself both academically and athletically. Competition Scarce; Nefcmen Work • The College tennis courts have been keeping pretty busy lately with a few of the far between varsity tennis players limbering up. v Coach Lappenbusch has no definite plans on how he will get the boys any competition, but in the meantime he will let them play among themselves. For the first time in the school's history, WWC has women turning out for a varsity sport. They are Jean Elaine Mulvaney and Patt Scott. Those men performers looking good are Dale Burklund, Paul Poster .and Chuck Pomeroy. Former ASB Prexy Writes Barron • Word came from the South Pacific recently to Dec Barron, ASB prexy, in the form of a postcard , from Frank Shiers, WWC student body president during the 1940 to 1941 term. Shiers, an enthusiastic promoter of student affairs while in college, also was a member of the Scholastic society. The message, which referred to the Christmas letters sent to servicemen by the Valkyrie club, ran as follows: "Dear Dec, * ' SCOOP!!! Tuesday, May 25, brings up the curtain on the mixed- softball loop and promises - to uncover. many good women athletes. The games are scheduled to start at 4 p. m. and will be played on Tuesday bight only. Each team will be co-captained by a man and woman athlete. Teams will be lined up for the' games and all students wishing to preform see Miss Virginia Hawke or Sam Carver.

TENNIS: The tennis tournament, will be posted sometime next week on: the WRA bulletin board. All gals who have signed up are asked to play their matches as soon as they are scheduled. MIXED REC: ' . Anyone interested in knowing and having a record of their swimming time, may contact Georgia Driver every Thursday night during mixed rec. She wiil be glad to keep this record from week to week to show your improvement. Both men and women students, here's your chance to obtain your swimming time for all strokes! any the less, because of the time discrepancy. •- "When a person is out here, it is really grand to have a sense of 'belonging' someplace and I really-feel that I am a part of WWCE— or rather, it is a part of me; the imperishable part.

(Continued from Page One) international police force and a world court of justice., His final-point was, ^'This world organization should adopt positive measures to improve the economic conditions of the peoples of the earth." Although he limited himself to these three points during his noon speech, Mr. Rennie revealed later in the afternoon a fourth idea which he feels is equally important. He suggests that the United Nations draw up a bill of rights which will apply to the backward and colonial peoples of small nations. Round Table Discussion Lively The Campus school auditorium was the scene of nods of approval and signs of disagreement when a round table discussion commenced later in the afternoon. After giving a general introduction, a summary of the morning addresses and an indication of the problems involved in the discussion to follow, E. J. Arntzen, WWC history professor started firing questions. Those at the answering and discussion end of the meeting were participants, Mr. Rennie, Arthur C. Hicks, WWC registrar; Willard S. Oates, assistant manager of the Bellingham branch of the , Seattle National Bank of Commerce, and the Rev. Russell Bisnett of the local First Presbyterian church. Consider Present and Future , During their hour and a half, the group attempted to cover the .. immediate postwar., situation or the problems of a peace settlement. They also considered the long range problems to be,dealt with in building an enduring peace. They included economic and social, the political and international found-dation of peace. . The group was asked for some of the principles of procedure in arriving at a just peace and also for some mistakes to be avoided. Dr. Hicks brought out that the weakness of League of Nations was its lack of an organization to carry out the objectives of the League. Mr. Rennie brought to attention the dangers during this time when we will have the question of policy before us. Mr. Oates pointed out the fact that the quickest organization we have today is war. Numerous ideas evolved when the participants faced the question, "What penalties should be imposed upon the vanquished Axis nations?" Dr. Hicks forwarded an enthusiastic demand for justice to be pronounced upon Axis criminal. And then, touching upon relief and rehabilitation, the Rev. Bisnett felt that no food for reparations should be moved immediately from a : starving1 Germany, for instance, to Russia. If the people there needed ifood, he said that it should be kept within that nation. Mr. Oates suggested, "If we want immediate reparations and no starvation, give .Russia a part of Germany." In regard to the food, situation, Mr. Rennie believed that through defeat, the people will have suffered enough. He upholds* that "restoration of land is good even to the. point of starvation." As a fitting finale to the discussion, the Rev. Bisnett said, "If ' we can, in the first six months after the war, impress upon the peopie : of the defeated nations, our good will and our lack of hatred, we will have taken the first important step toward peace." But the group ; concluded their most heated discussion with unanimous agreement that the* relief and rehabilitation situation is hard to settle now as illustrated by the point that where starvation exists now does not give a true picture of what conditions - will be in the future. The group seemed to agree that the United States should continually concentrate on being sympathetic with democratic regimes. Kid Stuff, Pigtails Fashion at Edens; Raganites Seek Phonograph Daisy Falls Hard "Playmate, come and play with me"—kids and kid stuff has been the epidemic at Edens this week- Daisy Ann really fell for that little campus school shiek. Why did it have to be down the front steps though, Daisy? In a hurry to return to his big little books, no doubt, .'airing Brings Blossoms "School days, school days, readin,' writin' and 'rithmetic" seems to be the theme suggested by the sudden blossoming of pigtails and cotton dresses. Jean Griffith gets the "A" this week for pigtails—cotton queens are Patsy Jacobsen and Amy Jean Allen. "They're either too young or too old,"—Hunter, Sinnett, and Sund-berg haven't quite made up their minds after the pre-induction conference. The newspapers are just full of hews these days, eh, M. L.

W. Haggard attended two meetings. Thursday he was present at the meeting of the thirteenth naval district's V-12 selection committee in Seattle. The committee is composed of two civilians and the naval procurement officers. Additional Degrees Discussed On Friday night and Saturday, Dr. Haggard went to a joint meeting of the trustees and presidents of the three state colleges of education. According to Dr. Haggard, the number one discussion of the meeting was the proposal that the colleges seek authority from the legislature to grant general B. A. degrees in addition to the professional degree. Finance, and the budget for the next biennium, '45-'46, were also problems confronting the group. Their next meeting is set for sometime in July. As president of the local Rotary club, Dr. Haggard has another out .of town meeting on schedule for next week. Monday and Tuesday he will go to Victoria, B. C. for the annual Rotary conference of district 101. The district comprises delegates from Alaska, Oregon, British Columbia and Washington. " — •/• store away.

Woman of the Week • In the spotlight this week is the "gavel gal" of the freshman class who, with the class president gone to war, has been drafted, as vice-president, to hold the wooden stick for the rest of the year. With a mania for cutting the top of her hair, our woman of the week has a flair for studying and, speaking of flares, is a frequent master of the dance in the student lounge. A songstress, she made her debut at WWC in a women's trio and also sang with Nils Boson's choir in a recent assembly. Often seen wearing shoes without stockings, she maintains her high grade-point with no harm to her original sense-of-humor. The Bellingham freshman is described by her pal Zosh as a "good Joe" only her name is "Andy"—Betty Lou Anderson to the faculty. Dec Resigns Fourth Term; ACE Elects • New Officers for ACE were elected when the club met last Thursday in the Campus school. Glennis Sundberg was elected president; Ruby Strobel, vice-president; Elerine Shannon, secretary; Mary Louise Burke, treasurer; and Peggy Custer in charge of publicity. Short talks were given by students who visited classrooms of the city schools recently. • Dale Burkland and Peggy Custer, freshmen, will be the speakers at the regular meeting of Vanadis Bragi, Monday Aprils 24. . Burkland will discuss "the Autobiography of Lincoln Steffens," and Miss Custer will give a brief review of another of Steffen's writings, "Shame of the Cities." According to Declan Barron, president of the club for the last 3 years, election of officers will be held at this meeting. Barron concluded with the statement, "I definitely will not run for a fourth term!"

BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1919 No. 23 i . NASH RETURNS: GREAT VIOLINIST TO REV. ( M E ; A two-feature program ^vas in store ' for those who attended assembly Mon­day morning. Rev. Dr. Canse gave a helpful discourse, using "Hunger" for his theme, and Dr. Nash gave an interesting sketch of his trip to the the meeting for Normal School Presi-dients and the Department of Super­intendence of the National Education­al Asociation at Chicago. Dr. Canse, in his theme" on "Hun­ger," started out by making the re­mark that Germany has threatened to withhold some of the matters agreed to in the armistice if the Allies do not let them have food, and Bavaria has made the remark that hunger ' is a worse enemy than Bolshevism. " Every worker is asking for the best bread from wheat," says Dr. Canse. " The cry is not always for wheat they need, but.for the best." In some of the foreign countries where there is lack of Christianity, people die like rats if there happens to Ibe a lack of rain. They have no granaries and have not been educated . to lay up stores of food when there is plenty. There are no granaries in the world except where there is Christianity. An empty dinner pail has a cause, for the good book says ' The right­eous; shall be filled." I believe it was at this point where Satan tried to floor Christ when he asked him to turn the stones into bread. The king­dom of Heanven is-hot eating and drinking, for the empty heart is what brings the empty basket. The conclusion of the sermon oh the mount, the Beatitudes, is the gold­en rule.

Some peopie actually get scared thinking about things that may happen to them. "Now," said he, "if you want to go loony, go out behind.some bush and scare yourself to death, so ' no­body will know it." Indeed, many people seem to have a natural apti­tude for fear. They arise in the morning, saying, " Give us this day our daily" dread." Our code of reli­gion should Ibe happiness the livelong day, so that we can spread cheer to those about us, instead of forebod­ings of ill. It is highly necessary then in these days of seriousness, to use good com­mon sense, mixed with cheerfulness, in judging matters of present day issue. In the second place, we must be able to see the bright side of life for the sake of the youth. It is only through this that we can gain sympathy with children, for their lives are bubbling over with enthusiasm and joy. They are not dwelling upon life as a trag­edy; neither should we (be. . Mr. Gillilan aptly shows that Na­ture is really a comedy, and we are destined to play our parts as he played his one time when he was wait­ing for his train in an eastern city at 2 o'clock in the morning. He walked out of the depot, one eye open, the other half shut, suit cases in hand, thinking it near time for the arrival of his "bedroom" car. He glanced about and saw the iron gates all closed, but suddenly saw a sign on cne, " Use this gate for sleeper." However, as he examined his " sleep­er" it was harder than a macadam­ised road and felt, as he leaned against it, as if it were a dining table with all of the. dishes left on it. Finally, his train arrived, and im­mediately he sped for the sleeper. Upon entering, he was greeted with double choruses — baritone, prothun-dero — in fact, all kinds of tones reaching over at least four octaves. These tones were mixed with snorts a,nd grunts. He addressed the conductor, who had been one of these night serenad­es, " What can you give me? " " What do you want? " " What do I want at 2 o'clock in the morning — cranberries, lard and other things? " I Apparently, then, realizing the cir­cumstances, the conductor said, "Upper ten." Now, Mr. Gillilan felt that he had never ibelonged. to that class, so the conductor compromised by giving him lower five. Such a night as it was! The length of his body was too long for the bed­clothes, so after playing for one and one-half hours, at hide-and-seek, pri­soner's base, blackman and whirling as if he were in a merry-go-round, he bound himself in sheets and blankets until he resembled a. Red Cross pa­tient on a stretcher, or one of those colored zone maps, one may see in geographies, there to sleep content­edly the rest of the night. This little incident characterizes the optimistic nature of Mr. Gillilan, who further points out that absent-mindedness, or some minor affliction may Ibe viewed from the humorous standpoint, thus making merriment, instead of gloom to those around us. The last point, which Mr. Gillilan urged us as teachers to observe, was to be able to come down from our high " pedestal" to the childish view­point. "Indeed," said he, "the child is able to give you not only humor, but sermons —the best you ever heard. As parents and teachers, no­thing is commensurate with the job you have of training the next genera­tion." DR.

For those of us stationed out in the regions of ' Cow Town,' or ' Dead Man's Retreat,' a general get-together at the old Alma Mater is an event of no mean significance. " Times are improving out here in the wilds of Glendale. Last Friday we had a great celebration at the school house. In spite of the winds and the sleet and the drifted high­ways, a great crowd turned out, and between ' Skip-tum-a-loo' eats, and the variations of the 'Fox Trot' we had a most hilarious time. : " Saturday was election day for the high and lofty office of district clerk for the school Iboard, and at the sec-red celebration I was especially fa­vored with the office of presiding clerk."

CARRIE BLAKESLEE. 138 Blandena St., Portland, Oregon. March 1, 1919. The following is a letter from New­ton C. McCoy '16: Dr. Nash gives us the following portion of a letter from Miss Eva Mc- Abee, a student well known here from last year: " The other day a kindly burst of sunshine after a hard shower brought f J ashing to my mind a picture of our beautiful campus in the early spring, and oh, .how homesick it made me! Right at that moment I'd have given a good deal to have been back again in the student body if for no other rea­son than just to enjoy the early morning, sparkling green of the cam­pus and the glistening chain of moun­tains across the blue of Bellingham Bay. Now have you ever seen in your travels, Dr. Nash, anything more beautiful? Of course it's very nice to be teaching at home and learning so much in the Seattle system, but I'll always remember the days in school at the Normal with delight and envy a little those whose privilege it is to Ibo there at the time. There is so much that crowds into my concept of Normal School days and it is all of such pleasant character. Even my recollection of the stage fright on the occasion of my war drive speeches comes back with a decided tang of joy that was far from being a charac­teristic of it at the time. And it will be long before I forget the inspira­tion of the members of our faculty." Very sincerely yours, EVA McABEE. Dr. Nash was heartily welcomed, after his albsence to the N. E. A. in Chicago.

An evening devoted to, Irish: drama was enjoyed by members of the Thes­pian Dramatic Clulb at our last meet­ing. After Amanda Nessen delight­fully sang "When I Dream of Old Erin," Clarence Lessard gave a dis­cussion of the development of the Irish drama. The works of two Irish dramatists, Lady Gregory and Yeats,- were then studied. Enid Shumway read " The Rising of the Moon" by Lady Gregory in a very pleasing man­ner. , One of Yeats' plays, " The Hour Glass," was given by Gertrude Du-puis. The closing numiber on the pro­gram was an aesthetic. dance given by Violet Hatch. At the recent try-out for Thespian Club membership, Hallie Campbell and Ed Rairdon were added to our number, and we extend to them a hearty Thespian welcome. This week was one of importance for the Philo and Thespian male war­riors, for a battle was fought in the gymnasium to decide which were the better basketball players. The first game resulted in a tie. However, Wednesday, the tie was played off, which resulted in a victory for the Thespians — the score being 32 to 25.

For a week past those who make daily visits to the bulletin board felt the call of the poster announcing the third annual winter picnic of the Young housekeepers. Those pan­cakes certainly: did look inviting. When the guests arrived at- 5:30 they were surprised at the appearance of the dining room. Sofa covers, rugs, pillows and a victrola transform­ed part of the room into a cozy re­ception hall. Oregon grape was used with artistic effect upon the walls and the snowy cloth of the long table. Covers were placed for forty guests. The dinner was a great success. Everything from the nine dozen sand­wiches to the six quarts of home­grown, home tiaked beans testified to the culinary art of the Young House­keepers. That they are disciples of Hoover was shown by the way in which they practiced the gospel of the clean plate., And how they did wash the dishes! These are the girls.who break the world record at 7:30 Mon­day mornings. - After dinner, one of the -youngest Young Housekeepers, entertained the club with three delightful readings, " The Land of Beginning Again," " I Ain't A-goin' to Cry No More," and "When Pa Shaved His Whiskers Off." The evenin's fun closed with games and community singing. Alkisiah. In the small gymnasium on Thurs­day evening, March 6, the Alkisiah Club had their meeting. After a very short business meeting the new mem­bers of the club met their fate, when they were initiated. After much fear and trembling and hard work the new girls at last breathed a sigh of relief when the initiation was over. The meeting then adjourned and refresh­ments were served.

The enthusiasm shown by students in the Normal in the penmanship class is steadily on the increase. The Palmer method which is excellently taught by Mr. Thompson, is recog­nized nationrwdie as a most practical and efficient system of waiting. Its aim is to secure a handwriting that embodies these four essentials: Leg­ibility, rapidity, ease and endurance. Last year, the numlber of students receiving Palmer awards in penman­ship was small compared with the number so far this year, and the coming spring quarter promises to be a 'successful one in Palmer writing. Since September, those who have obtained - Palmer Method teachers' certificates, a few of whom have earn­ed them by correspondence, are: Dennabelle Sawyers, Helen Petite, J. E. Petite, Ethel Jahn, Vyra Ullfers. Anna C. Pugh. Those who have finished the first hundred drills, satisfactorily, thereby winning the progress pin, are: Han­nah Pierson, Mary Docherty, Grace Ryckman, Vivian Bettanini, Gladys Brown, Dixie Porter, Leona Boettcher, Ruth Stokes, Adelle Bassett, Feme Bassett, Edith Burman, Anna Mad-docks, Alyce Haveman, Nona B. Rich­ardson, Josephine Silvers, Zilpha Wes-sel, Ginera Whitman, Lena Moore, Gertrude Rainey, Ruth Classen, Luel-la Smith, Martha Forde, Iva Larsen, May Olsen, Carrie Sfcacey, Hazel Burger, Evelyn Gunnerson, Loda Mul­len, Mabel Walters, Ellen Burke, Evelyn Little. There are eighty-severi who have won the Palmer button, having com­pleted the first twenty-five lessons. Added to this nunifber, there is a large packet in transit which con­tains more work of those writing for Palmer awards, which will increase the number considerably. Nearly all of those who have won progress pins will now write for Palmer teachers' certificates. The spirit with which students have work­ed to attain proficiency in writing is highly commendable. Mr Thompson wishes all students who have had penmanship and desire to win awards, even if they are not taking penmanship at present, to have all exercises in by May first.

T. MATHES BOOK CO., 110 W. Holly St. TESTS AND SCALES VITAL TO TEACHERS Mr. Kibbe is kept busy from 6 o'clock in the morning until 10 at night. A good portion of this valu­able time is given to the teaching of "Tests and Scales" to his different classes. Many students here do not understand the purpose of this course or realize the value it will be in; prac­tical teaching. Mr. KiJbfoe and other educators have fouhd. by experiments that there is a wide range in grades given by differ­ent teachers, for the very same piece of work. For example, Mr. Kibbe had one paper graded by twenty different teachers and the grades ranged pretty regularly from ten to one hundred. As this has been the general case all over the. country, school men have seized upon a plan to prevent this evil. They have constructed differ­ent standards in every subject for each grade. These standards have been made and collected in a scien­tific manner. Sometimes as many as seventy thousand children's papers are corrected to dbtain standards in one subject. The use of these tests is quite sim­ple. In spelling a certain' group of words are pronounced to, for example, the fifth grade. This class should receive a certain mark in order to come up to the standard of fifth grade spellers. If the class falls below par, the teacher sees that she should give her pupils more drill in spelling. The arithmetic test is almost as simple, but many Normal students have found to their dismay that they do not come quite up to this eighth grade standard,. We cannot tell how all the different subjects are tested, but that is the purpose of Mr. Kibbe's class in tests and scales. The teacher who uses these tests next year is keeping to the modern progress of education. She will not only possess some land mark by which to standardize her regular class marks, Ibut she also will find just how her classes compare with others over the state. FACULTY TEA GIVEN The last faculty tea in this quarter was given in the faculty tea room, Thursday afternoon at 3:30, at which almost all of the faculty women and faculty men with their wives were present. The room was attractively decor­ated with yellow crocuses.

ATHLETICS BASKETBALL SCRAPS Lynden vs. Normal. Last Monday night the Normal bas­ketball boys were vanquished by the Lynden second team in a game held at the latter town. The Normal boys admit they played very poorly, but they excuse themselves by the fact that they had had no practice for twc weeks previous to the encounter. The final score stood Lynden 25, Normal After this goes to press, the Normal boys will have played Lynden again. This time on our own floor. Friday afternoon, March 14. Our boys nave announced their intention of winning by a majority of at least fifteen points. How albout it, Lynden? Philo-Thespian Scuffles. Last Tuesday at 1 o'clock the first Philo-Thespian game was scored off in a rather rattlebrained fashion. Neither team did any fine playing to speak of. Due to differences on the part of the score keepers, the game ended 23-21 in favor of the Philos. ; The next day the two teams again met and played a much more interest­ing and enjoyable game. Better teamwork was evidenced by both sides. But the Thespians showed themselves to be the strongest, both in. weight and science. Bjorlie and Sherman were high men for the Thespians, while Broadbent demon­strated his hitherto unappreciated brilliance by scoring sixteen points for the Philos. In the latter half the team ibegan rolling up its score at an alarming rate, but the timekeeper's whistle" cut short the hopes of the Philo fans.

Home of the Hart Schaffner Marx MEN'S CLOTHING The following material is selected from papers written by students ,of the Normal on the subject of their changing conception of industrial arts: My conception of industrial arts was, I thought, quite clear and simple before taking a course in the same. •However, after taking a quarter of this work, I have reached quite a dif-, ferent conclusion. My perspective has Ibeen broadened in many respects, and in some there; has been a direct reversion of ideas. In the first place I thought that the making of articles was very" sim­ple and easy. All that was necessary was to mark out the pieces constitut­ing a project and then cut these pieces out. However, in. actual ex­perience I learned that skill in hand­ling tools is not inherited to a great extent,,but is the result of experience. I also learned that marking out pieces is not such an easy problem, but that it requires skill and mental effort. I had an idea that industrial arts did hot require much mental effort. From experience I now know that this kind of work often requires a great amount of concentration. Problems of con­struction arise and must be met. The project must he imagined. completed and the details of construction .thought out. The efficient ways of handling tools has also been brought to my atten­tion as never Ibef ore; for instance, the different positions in which a plane may be held in dressing the broad surface, edge or end of a board re­spectively. Then, there is the practical- plan of correlating industrial arts with other subjects taught in the school. Judging on my previous basis of the subject, I was not aware of such a relationship existing. This course has greatly aided me in • seeing the great need of accuracy and skill in the battle of life, so thus it has also had some moral value. — H D. S. '.. Before taking up the study of in­dustrial arts, I know very well.what 'it was and knew what other students made at the shop, but I had a very hazy idea as to what I would do there. I had an idea that I would acquire great skill in the use of tools by mak­ing a few match-scratchers,' paper files, etc., then I expected to Ibe pro­moted to the making of furniture. I have taken manual training- near­ly a quarter now and have a much greater respect for the trade of car­pentry than ever before. My ideas about the work that school children can do in manual training is much clearer than before. There are abundant opportunities for the corre­lation of manual training with the other studies. jArithmetic problems come up at nearly every turn. His­tory may be studied in connection with the earlier methods of cutting down trees, 'building houses, etc., There is a splendid chance to study geography in locating the habitat of different woods. Art can be very closely correlated. The youngsters will take new interest in designing when they know it is to Ibe applied to their own work. Another way to cor­relate the work with other subjects is by making things to be used in other studies such as the seed exhibi­tion cases for agriculture and plant boxes and bird houses for nature study. The parents may .become more in­terested in the school when the chil­dren make little things for the home. In this way. manual training performs a social function Group work de­velops a' social feeling among the pupils. It also develops their effi­ciency. By making little handy things for the school room, such as shelves, picture frames, door stops, etc., the children begin to feel that the school room ' is really their school room. They will take pride in if and work to make their pride justifiable. In this way and also (by the chance for vent of boy's overflow of spirits, man­ual training helps to solve many a teacher's problems of discipline. My own experience in manual training has taught,me that children cannot be expected to acquire .skill in the use of the tools. Delicate problems should not be attempted in the lower grades; those problems which are pleasing to -the eye, useful and do not 'require great skill in the use of tools are the most satisfac­tory.' — C. L. TEACHERS' PAY One of the irritating questions which must be faced and settled on an equitable basis (before long is that of the teachers' pay. Philander P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, is urging upon the na­tion the importance of raising the pay cf teachers to a point where the pro­fession shall remain an attractive one for people of ability, if the United States is to hold her prestige of popu­lation and thorough, education. In a recent.interview, Dr. Claxton said: " Teachers are now paid less for their work than any other class of workers," he said," and the increase in the last few years has in no wise been in keeping with the increase in pay of other workers, or with the in­crease in the cost of living. While the cost of living has increased ap­proximately 80 per cent, the salaries of teacliers have increased only about 12 per cent. Many of the better teachers are leaving the schools and their places are taken by men and women of less native ability, less edu­cation and culture, and less training, and experience. Many of the places are not filled at all. As an inevitable result the character of the schools is being lowered just at a time when it ought to be raised to a much higher standard. The only remedy is larger pay for teachers." — The American- Reveille.

Males Galore It is. with much enthusiasm thai I welcome the students to he campus. The gathering of new students in the auditorium list Monday morning Was inspiring and. the presence of veterans and former students was reassuring. Succeeding e vents this week have kept the pace set last Monday. We are beginning a new era in the history of the College. The war years with low enrollments are past and we are entering upon a period of perhaps the largest enrollments since the opening of the institution in September, 1899. Large enrollments in all educational institutions make the task of both teacher and student more difficult. Harder Work and more tolerance are going to be required from this date on. Standards in higher institutions will rise as the postwar years go by and a good scholastic record will be harder to achieve. •r. How can we make 19A6-47 the best year in our history? Dr. E. A. Bond, who retired from the faculty last summer. Would prescribe hard work and cooperation. These words, similar Jo the word duty, are old but are none the less meaningful. Sincerest wishes for the success of every student in 1946-47. W. W. HAGGARD, Student President Packard Explains New Self-Government Policy By DON PACKARD Many students continually talk about student government, but like the weather, very few do anything about it. Perhaps if more of us knew something of the importance of student government and of the way it -rCut- Courtesy Bellingham Herald. ifiltc5 Works here. We Would' display a greater interest. The governing body here at Western Washington College is the Board of Control, which is an elective b o d y, composed of both siudents and faculty members. Two new student members of the board are elected each quarter and serve for a term of one year. One new faculty representative who serves for a term of three years, is selected by the president of Western Washington College in conjunction with the president of the Associated Students. The president and vice-president of the Associated Students act as-ex-qfficiq members of the board. The Board of Control has many major .functions, one of the most important being that of"assuming responsibility for student body finances. Money must be fairly divided among such school activities as football, basketball, publications, band, dramatics, women's athletics, and mdmj others. Each quarter the Board of Control handles around $5,QQQ, of your money and may be responsible for as much as $25ip00/in a single school year. .-rZ^Oifier important functions of the Board of Control include cictB^m advisory capacity to the Co-Op management, selecting the many committees heeded to,maintain a Well balanced school program, and acting as liason between the school administration dndJ'the students. 'With the important duties of the Board of Control such as those just mentioned, it seems obvious thai every student should share an equal responsibility in the selection of those siudents who represent him on the Board. Every student should also feel it his duty to keep in close contact with the governing body and see to it that he is well informed at all times. If such an interest in school government is displayed by the student body ,:as a whole, it will also be displayed by members of the govern- '•: ing body who will see to it that ours is a government of the students, by the students, and for the students. Old Story By New Teacher With axe murders, sabotage activities, dope smuggling, and other sports occupying most of my time recently, I haven't been able to keep up on my reading. But the other day while going through ihy wallet I discovered an old American Weekly neatly crumpled behind my driver's license. Thumbing hurriedly through the 26-page edition I was startled to see an article by a "well-known" professor in the east who says that the eyes are gradually growing closer together and that some day there will be just one Big eye in the middle of our face. ; I wonder just what provision the President Is making against this national catastrophe. I think my eyes have started to move in already. But I bet mine never do grow together. They will probably just close in enough to touch at the corners and then stop.One would get quite a jolt to wake up some morning and,v putting on his glasses, discover that they were useless because he had only one eye. Glasses cost money. But I guess it won't happen for awhile yet. "Ctountless Ages" is the way the professor times it. So that lete all of us over 19 out of the fun. :§;g'iThe other facial features are going to be shifted around somewhat. The large eye will not be in the center of the fore-h e ^ like you thought gt;hnaa-nna^ right in the middle of the physiognomy. The facial contours hitherto below the eyes will be compressed into the small space between the (Continued on Page 2) From the deep woods of the Olym- ' pic National park near the Elwha river, came Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Cris-ler to show their movie, "Olympic Wilderness" at the Western Washington College assembly on Friday, October 4, 10 a. m. The breathtaking beauty of the scenes in color which are shown of the wild-life, high mountain places, flowers and home scenes, is beyond description. The greatest patience and rare skill have combined to make, this program an original and entertaining one. Until four years ago, Mrs. Crisler was an instructor in the English department of the University of Washington. She and her husband now live In Geyser Valley, Olympic National Park. VERSATILE COUPLE Their lecture engagements are filled each season at universities, churches, clubs arid schools throughout the Northwest. Mr. Crisler is considered an expert photographer and Mrs. Crisler has done some writing, recently contributing some material for the forthcoming book, "Pacific Coast Range" to be published by the Vanguard Press and edited by Donald Culross Peattie. Highlighting the sequences of "Olympic Wilderness" is the Whistling Marmot, true mountaineer who hibernates and lives in the Arctic- Alpine zone and yet has time to find a charming and affectionate marmot for his mate. Scenes of the rugged winter spent as airplane lookouts,. when an occasion afternoon's skiing was the only diversion on top of the Olympics. Close-ups of a mother bear and -her two cubs showing that they are the real comedians of the forest animals. Housing Center Now Filled Normal Drive Place is the official name of the site of the housing units which have been erected on the athletic field behind the PE building. The units are now ready for occupancy and many of the tenants have already moved into their new homes. Everyone seems to be completely satisfied with the h o u s i n g accommodations. The units are equipped with beds, showers, closet space, bathrooms, lights, and facilities for cooking. Student veterans in the houses are single with the exception of five married couples. There are' 24 units in all. Don Leu is acting as manager of the housing project. Don is liting in cabin No. 1 with his wife and one child. Anyone living in one of the units should see Don if any trouble arises. All-School Mixer In Gym Tonight WWC's first all-school mixer will be held tonight at 8:30 in the Junior High gym; everyone is invited and a special invitation is extended to all members of the footbaJl squad. In preparation for the big game Saturday with CPS, the mixer will be a combination pep rally and dance with music being furnished by Tim hedges' five piece band under the leadership of Bob Moblo, prominent WWC musician. First Assembly For Frosh Perhaps the entering freshmen thought Jo Ann Elwell and Jim Sanford were stretching things a little regarding registering in Tuesday's assembly. They certainly were fooled. Under an avalanche of cards, forms, sheets, appointments and other paraphernalia our two young hopefuls were trying in vain to find "Station B." The fellow at the information desk was not much help but they did learn some very valuable things concerning' WWCE's sport,' science, dramatic and music departments. They also learned how the Co-op and lounge, are run. Especially dazzling was the rendition of our .Vikings lullaby; given :by Bob "Swooner" Moblo. Don't let the above photograph fool you. There are quite a number of pretty colleens in the frosh class this fall, but somehow they are not well represented in this picture. The above new students are wearily sauntering down the.main steps after being exposed to one of the many entrance exams scheduled earlier this week. * Huge Freshman Class Will Tax Larger Faculty Registration hit an all time high this week, with the largest freshman class in the history of WWC showing up in the auditorium to take the entrance examinations. To aid the instructing of this overwhelming influx of new students, the faculty has been increased to sixty. Latest reports from. Dr.., W. ..W, Haggard's office give indications that the total enrollment might well exceed 900. As early as Thursday, afternoon over 800 paid registrations had already been recorded. Final registrations will not be realeased until early next week. - Although the first classes of fall quarter were scheduled to get If You Drive, Read . . . When You Read, Heed It's already happened a dozen or more times each day so far this week. Each time you were guilty of a traffic violation. You've got to stop it immediately—better safe than sorry. Got you guessin' again, haven't we? Here is what we're driving home . . . there are hundreds of school children attending our Campus School. Each of them must cross either Forest street, Garden street or the Campus Drive. At each crossing are two white lines. These broad white lines designate a pedestrian crossing. When anybody is occupying a pedestrian lane you must stop your car. The pedestrian has the right-of-way! Also at each of these school crossings are two or more members of the Campus School Safety Patrol. They have full authorization of the Police Department to take down the license numbers of any traffic violators. When they do and you are the violator—well you know the rest. This is just a friendly warning. When you approach the school zone slow to 15 mph; stop when a pedestrian lane is occupied; stop when the member of the Campus School Patrol raises his red flag, and keep your eyes open. —EDITOR. under way today, registration of late comers will probably continue until Monday. Yet to complete registration are the upper classmen and student nurses. So far all registered students of WWC have been sufficiently housed. / School Publications Covers Activites New students are probably coitt-fused by the names of various publications on the campus, names like WWCoilegian, Klipsun, Navigator, and Homecoming booklet. The WWCoilegian is the weekly newspaper of the college. It is the official organ of the associated student body. The staff is trained in regular college journalist classes which are part of the English curriculum.

BURNET Publications Adviser odiiciiali FROSH FLOOD It has been many, many years since the halls and campus pathways of WWC have echoed with such a great number of student voices. Each quarter since V-J Day more new faces have appeared around the campus' This quarter the newcomers swell tHe Freshman class to such an extent that it dwarfs the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. The most astounding fact is that the Frosh account for almost half the total enrollment of WWC. PSYCHOLOGY OF ADJUSTMENT? For the first few weeks, and maybe even quarters for some of the more bashful newcomers, the standards and routine of college life may seem strangely fascinating yet disturbingly difficult for you to adapt yourself. That is one of the functions of your WWCollegian. Our duty and objective is to keep you in formed about events, ideas and personalities you should understand and know in order, for you to mesh more smoothly into life on the campus. THE WWCOLLEGIAN IS YOURS We want you to realize the WWCollegian is your paper. It is written both for and about you. It takes people to make news and judging from the overwhelming influx this quarter our job should be easy. You students, both new and old, can make your Collegian a truly representative student publication by feeling free to use your paper for any constructive criticism either about the Collegian or ^improvements you would like to see in and around your campus. DO YOU HAVE "THE URGE?—TO WRITE If you have a little printers ink flowing among your red corpuscles, drop into the Collegian office. If you can write (you should be able to in order to get this far in your search for knowledge) or if you merely have a yen to pen a few lines or morbid or passionate poetry, we'll be happy to print your masterpiece. No matter what you write drop it on the editor's desk. All we ask is that you sign your contribution. If you wish to remain annoymous say so. As long as your article has "student appeal" and won't have the Collegian up for libel or slander, we'll print it. We hope the rush and bedlam of the first, week hasn't •frightened you Freshmen. We know the friendships you wili form and the heart-warming traditions of WWC you shall absorb will enrich your lives for all the rest of your days. So once again we say—WELCOME TO WWC. We'll be seeing you, hearing you and writing about you. DEAD END... by kick Blessings on thee . Hoquiam coat of tan . came to life.) woof-woof man, You've lost that (ugh) .

Vets Pitch Toward Shaping Future One Ex-GI Expresses HiVSentiments By FRAN CORY To many entering freshmen, just out of high school, college life will be little more than a continuation of their schooling, but to the vet, fresh out of a separation center, college will mean a new life altogether. • According to the G.I.'s, the thrill of enrolling and returning to school after long months overseas, the thrill might be somewhat similar to that of landing on Red Beach No. 1 on D-Day. Of course your G.I.'s won't feel the personal danger but you might have that same tight feeling nestling in the pit of your stomach. Whether an introvert or extrovert no ex-serviceman will feel.perfectly at home at college during the first few months he attends. He might think, "Am I dressed right?" After wearing a uniform civilian cloths wil probably feel definitely unnatural. He might wonder if he isn't too old to be going back to school. One glance at a few of the freshman girls might instigate this reaction. Then again he might wonder if he will be able to buckle down and stay home and study conscientiously. DREAMS DO COME TRUE ....To you non-married GJ.'s there is also a chance that you might meet that dream girl you've seen so many times from the top side of a transport or from a foxhole. That's where the combat fatigue might come in—instead of a Nip taking a pot shot at you from behind a pill box, this dream girl might give you one of those come hither looks. and your heart will probably act up like one of Gene Krupa's kettle drums. At that time you might want to start establishing a beachhead, and, although you can let your conscience be your guide, remember your mission; that of getting an education. . If you will just be patient that dream girl will show up— and, as time goes on, that uneasy pain that sneaks up on you as you walk around the campus will soon turn to a warm glow and the excitement of meeting new friends and the feeling that you are a part of college will help you though any tough sailing that might come your way. Clip-Joint. Featured Jay Lapp has gone into business for himself. He has established a barber shop in the men's locker room across from the Co-op store. Jay calls his shop "Lapp's Co-op Clip Joint." The price of a haircut will be 75 cents. From reports it is known that Lapp is a very able hand with the clippers and shears. The business is to be handled through the Co-op book store with everything done according to rules and regulations set up by college authorities. In the past there has not been a barber shop on the campus and many have complained about having to make the long walk to town. It is to be hoped that Jay Lapp will be kept busy enough to keep him in business. Novel Names Noted WWCE is having trouble trying to figure out just what century we are living in. From the Registrar's office comes the news that this fall John Smith and Miles Standish will again be together. Running interference will be Robin Hood and just standing by will be Calvin Coolidge Knapman. The names alphabetically run from A to Z with Irene Aarstad oh the top and Frank Zur-line's name on the bottom. Two Jones boys have registered and the Smiths have two more people registered than the Johnson's with eight.

Where Elites Meet When we have that old "hungry" feeling or the urge to see who else has it, one of the places we think of first is that good old Dog House. It is just across High street from the school and Ray Anthony is such a friendly feller- that it reminds us of the corner beanery at home. He is open almost all the time too. Once in a while we have a day off and just prowl around the town. Close by the center of town is Hard-wick's Confectionery, on the corner of Cornwall and Magnolia. It's a swell place to grab a quick lunch, sandwich, cool drink or just meet a friend.

Early in September the Boston Red Sox had the American League race well put away when ace pitcher Hughson beat the Cleveland Indians. • — DANIELS HALL ~ Miss Daniels, housemother at Daniels, has been the busiest woman on the campus the two weeks before school as she fed the huge football squad during the practice sessions. :• .: BELLINGHAM RED RAIDERS Bellingham High School has started its gridiron season in a big Way taking Us opener from Mount Vernon 27-0, and then moving on to Seattle to sudbue Seattle Prep 25-12. The Viking squad is Well represented by former players. • • COACHES Back again for his 15th year as head gridiron coach is Chuck Lappenbusch. Coach Lappenbusch was assistant coach at the University of Washington in 1931 under Jim Phelan, present St. Mary's coach and 1932 at the Albany College of Oregon. Chuck came to Western in 1933. A new face is Bill (Big) McDonald, former University of Washington basketball star and now Dean of Men at Western. Assistant coach is Norm (Tuffy" Nelson, who starred here in '40 and '41 in the backfield. Manager of the Viking squad is Eddie Johnston. • FOOTBALL Students are waiting this Saturday to see our own Vikings in action against the College of Puget Sound. ..The kickoff will be at 8 o'clock at Battersby Field. Starting practice on September 23, and with only two weeks in which to prepare for their opening game, Coach Lappenbusch put his record squad through some Starting at Quarterback —Cut Courtesy BellinKham Herald LES (SNUFFY) SMITH "very bruising sessions. Coach Lappenbusch expects to field two teams with equal strength. The backfield will be light but fast, and line should average close to 190 lbs., with such linesmen as Ed Weisenburger, Howard Breivik, Herb Witt weighing well over 200. • PROBABLE LINEUPS Saturday nights probable lineup: CPS WWC Robinson ,LER Jewell Rowe LTR Breivik Gilsdorf LGR Peterson Marteneau C Weisenburger Greedy RGL Barnhill Hermsen RTL Brown Hermsen REL Dahl Vollmar Q - Smith Swenson -H Winders Ortleum H Wardrop Wood F Zurline W.

Like Homer the Waiter our enthusiasm for the Viking fooball eleven knows no bounds. Out on a limb we go by tabbing our Vitamin Kids to finish at or near the top in this year's tougher than tough WINCO league competition. More than one of our boys have been eyed enviously by some top rate schools. Hats off to our own Coach Lappenbusch, who has produced, some mighty fine elevens at the hilltop school. Win or lose he'll give the rival mentors plenty of sleepless nights, with a nightmare or two in between. A late flash on the National league pennant race finds St. Louis one up on Brooklyn in their., two out of three series. The unfortunate winner has to face Boston in the big fall classic. Before we forget this diamond sport for awhile, just keep in mind that WWC has baseball, back again with all the earmarks of a great team coming up. Time now to mention intramural sports. Two of the sports highlighted at WWC (intramural that is) are basketball and bowling. In the past both bowling and basketball leagues have been formed, with lots of fun and competition the reward. Be thinking of intramural sports, and next week's sport page will give you lots of information on that subject. Vik Reserves iow Depth With the opening turnout of the 1946 football season it was obvious that Coach Lappenbusch, Assistant Coaches McDonald andl N e l s on were going to guide through this season the largest squad in WWCE : history.

Close to 44 men will dress for the game in order that Coach Lappenbusch will see them under fire. In Les Winders and Frank Gayda, Western has two good passers and two of the fastest men in the league. Large Attendance Hope of Mixed Rec. Get into the swing of things by attending mixed rec. Taking place . on Thursday evenings rec night is the one night set aside for those students, men and women alike who may wish to participate in some form of recreational activity. • Swimming is scheduled from 7:30 to 9 p. m., and should one be allergic to cool, refreshing water, basketball, badminton or volleyball are also possibilities. Mixed rec closes its doors promptly at 9:30 p. m. Because of the increased enrollment at WWC a new high in attendance is'expected at mixed rec during the ensuing year. For a good time and trim waist lines, mixed rec offers a solution. An added bit of information is to the effect that on Wednesdays and Fridays at 4 o'clock, the swimming pool is available for men only.

Pigskin Memories Pass In Review Rambling through the files of the Northwest Viking, and the WWCol-legian, many interesting football facts have been uncovered, which should be appreciated by both the .old and new student. To begin with, Bellingham Normal had its first rootbafc game in 1903. With no organized league, no titles to shoot at, the boys nevertheless played tough, rugged football, and were truly forerunners of the hard smashing high calibre elevens which were to come. From then until 1923 Bellingham Normal took on all comers including high schools, athletic clubs and a few colleges, while the College of Puget Sound was generally on their schedule. EARLY DAYS ....Early in the twenties the Tri- Normal football league was formed, embracing Bellingham, Cheney and Ellensburg. It was a great evening during the 1923 football season when the Vikings humbled the Cheney Savages at Waldo Field, after having defeated the Ellensburg Wildcats for the Tri-Normal football crown. Not to be outdone or to leave the impression that just plain luck won for the Viks, they returned the following year to annex the diadem again, making them champs for two successive years. During the years of 1923 and 1926, success was the keyword of the Vikings athletic campaigns.

Well, I'm forced to close for this week as I am hard pressed for time. Be seeing you next week when everything gets back to normal. Thought for the week . . . Did you ever stop to think that a woman that has to have everything just right is usually left? V V Y. M. C.A. The students living at the YMCA are in the process of organizing: into an authorized men's house. This year the "Y" has about twenty-five students living within its walls. At a meeting (or rather a social affair) last Sunday evening we had an election of officers. "Jimmy Durante" Turner did a smooth job of "nosing out" Clark Brown in the race for the head man position. Incidently, yours truly, would like to mention a slight detail . . . Arnold "Kelly" Turner, working in the capacity of acting, chairman, appointed himself to count the ballots. (I'm only joking, Mr. Turner. I know an honest face IP I see.one.) Speaking of honest faces, Bill Tulin must have looked very honest that night. Tulin is our official bill collector. I can't understand why everybody wanted to be the treasurer. Somebody suggested that Carl Lindell looked like he was the only one who knew how to read and write. After a campaign speech like that, how could he get out of the job of secretary. And now for the biggest surprise of all . . . Clark Brown is the B. S. (Big Shot) vice-president. Clark has spent a lot of time on the campus of WWCE. Some of you probably remember him and a lot are glad they don't. It seems that all the fellows living at the YMCA are either athletes or comedians, so we expect to give plenty of competition in intramural sports and student activities. And now on behalf of the gang, I would like to close with this advice to the married male students: Here's our advice pal, When you return late, in the fog, Stay away from your wife, And crawl in with the dog. V V HOSPICE INN Welcome all you new fellas at Hospice, and of course, it's nice to see the older fellas back too. With thirty fellas all eager for everything to get rolling it looks like Hospice is in for a year of outstanding accomplishments. What about all you loggers and fishermen . . . sounds like you all did alright for yourselves this summer. Those tans look really superb. Elections of house representatives will be held next Tuesday night, so get your man and start campaigning. Flash! Wolf Skidmore is back . . . so gals beware! V V BUSHNELL'S Yes, we are. all,back to the old Homestead of the Bushnells. "The old Omjers" that are still showing their faces around here are: Jay "nnithe girls ragged" Lapp, and his running mate, Mel Pilon. Jim Price is back in the house with George Jergens, alias the voice. Then there is Chesty Bill Burton, we mustn't forget, along with versatile Bernard Peterson. The new boys are going to have a tough time holding their own with this sort of competition. They are Walt Eddy and John Pope, from Belfair; Don Meyer, Donald Patten, from Silverdale. By all indications we are all in for a swell time. We haven't much to report this issue but will be back in theere punching next week. V V SENIOR HALL Former Faculty Member Dies ....Miss M. Belle Sperry, who for twenty years taught students of College, long known for her cultural and religious influence in this city, passed away Monday evening, September 30, at St. Joseph's hospital. She was 78 years old. For many years an active member of the Aftermath club, her cultural influence was felt in many of thp v large women's group programs. She had made a number of trips to Europe and two around the world. Born July 15, 1868, on a farm in Michigan just outside Ann Arbor, she was graduated from the University of Michigan in 1892 with a Ph. B. degree. She made her first trip abroad in 1897, and in 1914 visited Europe again, a t t e n d i n g among other things a Bible conference iri northern England. In 1925 she went to the Orient, visiting Japan, Korea, China, and the Philippines, Burma, India, and on around through Cairo, Egypt, and Palestine, to return to Bellingham from London. A foe to guilt, a friend to good, who serve with loyal devotion her profession, her country and her Cod, Miss Sperry, to the end dared to do her duty as she understood it. —DELIA L. KEELER. Junior Hi Has New Teacher The seventh grade class room teacher position has been filled this year by Mr. Howard Rushong. Mr. Rushong comes to the campus school from Stanford University where he attended last year, receiving his Master's degree. He received his B. A. in elementary education in 1939 from Eastern Washington College and then returned to his home town, Poulsbo, Washington, to teach. Mr. Rushong served with the Army Air Forces during the war, doing duty in Alaska and the Pacific. While in Alaska he was working with the Russian Air Force, transacting transfer of American planes to them. Dr. Bond Absent After hO Years Students returning to the campus after several years absence will be among the first to notice the absence of Dr. Eldon A. Bond among the faculty. After forty years service here, he retired at the end of last summer quarter. Dr. Bond, whose brilliance in the mathematical field has gained him nation-wide recognition, joined the Normal school, as it was then known, in 1907, as director of athletics and assistant instructor in physics and mathematics. Prior to that he had served as superintendent of schools at Blaine and principal at Coupeville. Two years after moving to the college he became chairman of the department of mathematics, a position he held until he retired. PUBLISHED BOOKS In 1932 he obtained his doctorate at Columbia University. Several text books on arithmetic which he published in the 1930's were widely adopted in the teaching profession and are still in use. Always highly regarded by students as well as by associates, Dr. Bond established another record as faculty representative on the student Board of Control. Although he later relinquished his athletic duties, he has continued to show keen interest in the development of physical education and recreational activities at the school serving as an official in track and football, and as a hike leader during the summer. Dr. Bond is now planning to make his home on Vashon Island and will proceed with the construction as soon as building materials become available. City Tour Given Frosh By jaysees Senior Hall is certainly an interesting place this fall. The girls are very busy getting settled and ready for the coming and, it seems, eventful year. The girls here in the hall aren't the only busy ones. Mrs. Anderson, our housemother, is making every effort to make this hall as comfortable as possible. If one was to walk through the hall during the day one would find' several carpenters in the kitchen remodeling or putting new shelves in the closets, -w A new Philco radio-phonograph was purchased recently along with new furniture for the rooms. This certainly adds to giving our rooms that "homey" look. • V V EDENS HALL Edens Hall is again jumping with laughter and merriment. Mrs. Haynes reminds us of the old woman in the shoe . . . she had so many children she didn't know what to do. Some of the familiar faces seen around the dorm are Jeanne Landers, house president, Blanche Deering, Zelma Blekkink, Helen Kelso, Pat Loomis and Barbara Splidsboel. , Yes, you are seeing double; they are the Dangerfield twins, Doreen and Edith. Watch out fellows, one parts her hair on the left side, and the. other on the right side, but don't ask which does what. Do you see stars in their eyes as well as sparklers on that certain finger? If not, look again at Hap Wittier, Barb Taylor, and Pedie Hyatt. Helen Fellows joined the ranks of gold bands when she became Mrs. James Lynch iri" September. , Is that really Mary Ann Teichroew under that gorgeous tan? If you can't find anyone at home on third look in room 322; that's Bev Cameron's and Jean McKelvy's hangout. No, Jerry Woodward and Gloria Dee Woodward aren't related, even if they both do come from Olympia. The same goes for the McLanes, Joan and Dorothy . . . Joan is Jettie.McLane's sister.

The tour was conducted Tuesday as part of the Freshmen Welcome Week and included a visit to the city hall where more than 100 entering freshmen were given an official welcome by Mayor Arthur Howard. The city tour was arranged and conducted by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Bafcaan Hero Visits Campus on Tour General Jonathan Wainwright, hero of Bataan and Corregidor, added a note of triumph to the closing summer quarter by visiting the campus on-his birthday, August 22, 1946. "I enjoy very much being back in my home state of Washington," said General Wainwright. "The beauty of this campus is a good example of the beauty of this state^ "It is hard to get out of my mind many parts of this, last war," the General said, "and one part is the role played by this state towards winning the war." WAR EFFORT CONTRIBUTIONS General Wainwright emphasized the great contributions of the state of Washington in the war effort through its vast stores of lumber, manufacturing, shipping, and the men and women who served in all branches of the service. In concluding his address, the heroic officer spoke with reverence regarding the pioneers who opened the great northwest and of the sons and daughters who have not failed their forefathers by developing the Pacfiic Northwest into one of the greatest sections in the world. Dr. Haggard introduced the General's entourage which included two aides, the mayor and friends from Wainwright's native city, Walla Walla, several distinguished Legionnaires from Bellingham,and the general chairman of the 28th Annual State Legion Convention. Students Sell Blood To Build Gym 5 University of British Columbia students are planning to sell their blood to Vancouver hospitals at $20 a pint and turn the money over to the university's War Memorial Gymnasium Fund. The fund will also be enriched by half the proceeds of sales of the story-and-picture book, UBC Panorama.

The plan,drafted by the Higher Education Coordinating Board after a two-year study, would increase thestatus of the University of Washington and Washington State University. But regional universities,such as Western, might not fair as well. One provision of the plan is to allow only the top half ofacademic achievers into the UW and WSU and give the bottom half to regional universities. RobertThoeny, HEC Board executive director, defended the proposed admission plan. "I think the academicstandards are nothing to be ashamed of. They'll hold up very favorably to any accrediting agency," hesaid. No more new jobs Ruth Weiner, Huxley College faculty member, disagreed. "Why not let students choose their own programs and institutions? That kind of elitism is unnecessary. It wrecks moraleand spreads mediocrity," Weiner said. Thoeny said the Washington Education Association gave itsendorsement for the plan yesterday, and most of the testimony has been positive. The goal of theboard is to put Washington's higher education system among the top five in the nation, a goal that willrequire a massive increase in spending on higher education, Thoeny said. Where that money will comefrom has not been made clear. Weiner said the "major disruptions" the plan would cause should beavoided until enough money is available to fully fund higher education. "(The plan) is an elaborate fictionto cover up the fact that the entire university system in this state is badly underfunded," she said. PeteKendall BBBRRRRR!

Immediately put on hold are proposed part-timejobs for students as Recreational Facilities coordinator and an assistant coor- Upcoming ballot togauge opinion on handgun issue By Erin Earles staff reporter Students will have a chance to vote onwhether University Police officers can carry handguns on duty. A special election, approved by theAssociated Students Board of Directors Wednesday, is scheduled for Feb. 18. The board also willsponsor an open forum, but no date has yet been set. The results of the election will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees. The trustees may decide March 7 whether to allow officers to carry firearms, ASPresident Dan Wood said. The results of the election are not binding on the trustees. Wood said theelection will cost about $400, which will be used to hire an election board chair, rent voting machinesand hire workers for the polling stations. Wood said he thinks an election and an open forum are thebest way to get student opinion. "We need the opportunity to find the pulse on that student issue," hesaid. Lt. Dave Doughty of the University Police said he is concerned that many students and facultycurrently are misinformed about the arming of campus police and could make a poor decision. Hesaid many student believe campus security guards, c o m m o n l y k n o w n as "greencoats," alsowill be armed if the trustees approve the measure. "I understand the AS needs student input. However,a ballot turns it into a popularity contest. Doughty said he would like opinion on the issue to be in theform of personal comments from people or groups, such as the Inter-Hall Council. dinator for the CrossCultural Center. Both positions were on the board's agenda Wednesday, but the proposal by ASSecretary- Treasurer Trent Wheatley to freeze new positions was placed on top of the agenda at the last minute and approved before the new positions could be discussed. AS President Dan Wood said thefreeze was needed because of the bill to raise the minimum wage to $4.70. "The problem is we keepgrowing," Wood said. "When we create new positions, we make a long-term commitment. Thequestion is, 'Can we afford it next year?' Wood said money also could be saved at higher levels.Wednesday he introduced a proposal to let students decide whether or not to approve a reorganization of the AS Board in a special election on Feb. 18. The board still must vote to allow the new referendumon the ballot. The referendum would ask students whether the board should be reduced to sevenmembers from nine, eliminating the director at-large for Communications and the director at-large to University Services Council. Wood proposed that those duties could be absorbed by other boardmembers and a public information officer.

Western administrators suspended the team last quarter after some rugbyplayers were identified in an initiation, commando-style dorm raid. The Warthogs failed to win an appeallast month to have the team reinstated. Tammy Fleming, AS vice-president for activities, said thecouncil is being cautious about overriding an administrative decision. "Although I don't see a problem with giving them club status," she said, "we want to make sure we don't step on anybody's toes in theprocess." Steve Biggs, president of the rugby team and organizer of the current move to make rugby aclub, said his purpose isn't to aggravate anyone in administration. "Rugby has been a major tradition in this area for about 30 years," Biggs said. "I want to see that tradition carried on at Western. That'smy motivation." T h e r u g b y t e a m was eliminated as a club sport after reports of some teammembers' participation and planning of a Rambo-like raid on dorms the evening of Oct. 28.

The ACC voted to reject a proposal made bythe College of Arts and Sciences last May that would have suspended enrollment in the tiny program todivert the resources elsewhere in the home economics department. P r o g r am D i r e c t o r JaneRoberts brought her case to the ACC, telling the commission that the program should not besuspended. Without the program Western students could not be certified to teach home economics atthe secondary school level, she said. About 10 students currently are enrolled in the program, she said. Roberts also said the program is partially funded by $5,000 in grants each year. Maintaining theprogram requires less than one-half of a full-time faculty position, she argued. Arts and Sciences DeanPeter Elich said the college's curriculum council proposed the suspension because the homeeconomics department needed the resources i K i H i i ^ B i l l l •!lliliii|BiiIiHK^8B ifcij|p|^j||i|i^pii|pili^i^Jlftlplllls I^BBlBBIJBilli^^H ^pMiiPliiilttiii! |^^^g||jj|||B|g|jpf|||p ?S5^SIHMliiiBlBi^^B mm ji -c*co At TACO TIME USE YOUR STUDENT SURVIVAL KIT COUPONS FOR GREAT $AVING$ LOOK FOR OUR"COMBO MEAL" COMING SOON - .w SOFT TACO d£T0|9 MEXI-FRIES * MEDIUM DRINK OPEN 7 DAYS - 9-9 MON.-THURS. 9-10 FRI SAT 707 E.

DepartmentChairwoman R o s a l i e King has repeatedly asked the college for additional faculty, but thedepartment is a low priority for the college, Elich said. Elich said he had told King last year thedepartment could not have additional faculty but could eliminate a program to free up resources. Kingsaid department faculty members voted to recommend suspension of the teaching program. Robertssaid she was upset with the recommendation. "What I want* to know," Roberts said, "is why pick onteacher-ed?" The small p r o g r am has brought visibility to Western, she said.

Carver Gym.The Vikings used the strong inside play of forward James Johnson and center Rod Whatley to defeatthe Falcons, 79-69. Johnson scored a game-high 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds, while Whatleyadded 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting and had his third straight double digit rebound game, grabbing 12.Prior to a road game last night at the University of Alaska Southeast, Western held a 12-3 record. TheSPU game was not an NAIA District 1 game, but Johnson said it was an important victory. "To me,because of the two losses, we were up for this game regardless of it being a district game or not," thesix-foot-six Johnson said. Even with the incentive of breaking the losing streak, the Vikings got off to aslow start, falling behind 16-7, as SPU scored 13 straight points. "Our confidence was a little low at the start, and we got down," Whatley said. "Once we started to come back, we hit stride and took over thegame." Western caught the Falcons with a 14-4 spurt, taking a 21-20 lead. The two teams tradedbaskets briefly before the Vikings took the lead for good, 25- 24, on a Ray Ootsey basket. "There's noquestion that after an emotional game at Central, it's always hard to come back," Western Coach BradJackson said. "It shows our maturity that we played well." In last Saturday's game at Central, the Vikings had a chance to win the game in the final seconds of regulation, but a Tim Dickerson jump shot didn'tdrop. The Wildcats went on to capture an 82-78 overtime victory. Central won the game at the foulstripe, getting 42 attempts, while the Vikings were given only 20. "We played very well," Jackson said."I'm not disappointed at all in the way we played. We had opportunities to win the game. It's frustratingthat we worked so hard, but couldn't get over the hump." Whatley led the Vikings with 14 points in alosing cause. Dickerson added 13 and Johnson had 10. Women win at home Western women's bas-ketoau team proved it's possible to come home again — and come home with success. After a month-long, nine-game road trip, the Vikings returned to Carver Gym with a 74-37 victory against St. Martir sCollege last Friday and a 73-61 victory over Central Washington University Saturday. The pair of winsgives Western an 8-1 record, good for first place in the NAJA's District 1. The team is 13-3 overall.The Vikings own a five-game winning streak and have won 12 of their last 13 games. In both games lastweekend, Western kept the opposition from scoring for extended lengths of time. Against the Saints,the Vikings broke from an 11-all tie with 11 minutes left in the first half and scored 14 straight pointsduring the next eight minutes. Western used its superior size against St. Martin's to gain a 74-29rebounding advantage. Forty-six rebounds came on the offensive end, which created many second- andthird-shots. Western center Karen Gannon led Western with 15 points. Jordy Roses came off thebench to grab a game-high 13 rebounds. Tammy Simmons led the Saints with a game-high 18 points.Central led the Vikings 28- 19 with 7:34 left in the first half before Western put the clamps on, notallowing the Wildcats to score the rest of the half. After taking a 32-28 lead into the locker room,Western put on a 10-2 burst in four minutes to clinch the victory. Lynn Munday led Western with 20points. Gannon blocked six shots and Kerri Browitt dished out seven assists. Ellen Kernan pacedCentral with 15 points. Sonia Swan grabbed 12 rebounds. Western hosts Seattle Pacific University at 7:30 p.m. today before traveling to Seattle University tomorrow.

Dread bassist Gary Haden said, "We're real excited aboutplaying with our friends, the Moonpins; you might even hear some Moondread." The Almighty Dreadseldom perform before all-age audiences, and are looking forward to the response. "We'd like to playmore places other than bars," Haden said. Recently, the group played a successful gig at Sehome High School, and even sold Almighty Dread t-shirts to the audience. The band has tried to create a uniquesound that borrows from musical styles like reggae, soca and calypso. During the Dread's existence,band members have been added to increase the richness of the sound. Their musical influence comes from guitarist Andy Oliver's former residence in Trinidad and the Caribbean. They keep up with thenew music coming out of the Caribbean and Africa by listening to a co-op radio station in Vancouverthat plays ethnic music late at night. The sound blends soul, calypso, rock, reggae and ska into amelodic, rhythmic surge of dan-ceable energy. "Each style of music is like a chemical compound,"drummer Dalton Davis said,"when brewed together they form a concoction none other than formulaAlmighty Dread." Soca is an abbreviation for soul-calypso. The music includes the melodic nature ofcalypso with the tempo of soul. Oliver said, "Reggae began by slowing down the upbeat tempo of ska."He added that reggae music has got conservative over the past few years and it needs to sounddifferent and change to grow. In addition to Haden, Oliver, and Davis, The Almighty Dread is JohnHendow, guitar; Paul Tur-pin, keyboards; Fred Pulphus, percussion; Zip Nicholson, trombone andDave Cole, trumpet. Since the addition of the new horn section, the band has become a morecohesive, tighter unit, Oliver said. He believes the band is together emotionally and has to be tighterbecause of so many musicians. Oliver said, "If there's a problem, we take care of it right away."

The Caribbean-style band Tropical Rainstorm will set the beat at the fourth annual Martin Luther King Commemorativedance tomorrow night at 8 in Aftermath Hall, at the corner of Broadway and Holly streets. Proceeds from the dance will benefit Presente, a Whatcom County newsletter that publicizes the activities of fourBellingham groups working toward peace in Central America. Bellingham's Community Food Co-op hassponsored the dance each of its four years. Mark Peterson, Co-op board member, said the odd mix ofcultures was brought together for one purpose. "We have established a tradition of benefiting a charityor volunteer organization," Peterson said. "Also, it represents the civil pghts of everyone, not just theblacks. King was against corporate imperialism, which is going on in Central America. You can see thatin the way he opposed Vietnam." Seattle's Tropical Rainstorm has played at Bumbershoot, thePuyallup Fair and other benefit dances for the past seven years. Tropical Rainstorm has one album,"Truly Yours," which was released about six years ago. Peterson said the group is very danceable. "It'sthe kind of benefit where people take off their shoes and dance. It's the yearly highlight event of thesegroups. It's kinda fun to go there and lose yourself in the music."

The Pledge ofResistance is described by member Rita Depuydt as a group with "people of conscience who havepledged that they will try to do what they can to end United States intervention in Central America."More specifically, the Pledge takes direct action in the form of rallies, marches and blockades.

Thus far, members of the activist groups have beenfunding the bi-monthly newsletter, which costs $300 each time it's published, mostly out of their ownpockets. Any profits beyond the $650 band fee will go to the . newsletter. But with all these dollars andcents around, the Community Food Co-op got a break.

'Greek fusion' Macedonians to conquer MamaSundays By Marisa Lencioni staff reporter The Macedonians, a band featuring Mediterranean musicplayed on ele'tric guitars and a fluga bone, is tonight's Mama -Sundays act. The 12-member g a t h e r in g of B e l l i n g h am musicians will perform music from Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey beginning at 8 in the Viking Union Lounge. The Macedonians formed in 1984, after member Diz Carroll returned from atrip to Greece to study that country's village music. While in Macedonia, Carroll met an 80-year-oldGreek musician who taught him traditional songs and introduced him to Greek instruments. Carroll put together a group of friends to perform these songs for his senior recital while he was attending Western, and the group has been playing together off and on ever since. "About 95 percent of our music isGreek folk songs, traditionally played, but the rest of it is our own interpretations using Westerninstruments," explained Mark Kelly, who plays clarinet, saxaphone and flute for the band. "Greek musicis played in different beats to the bar than Western music, like seven, 11 or 25 beats as opposed tofour or eight," he continued. "It's kind of like trying to chew gum, walk and scratch your head at thesame time." The Macedonians use a number of traditional Greek instruments to create their unique sound. They list the zourna, or Greek war horn, and the fluga bone as well as flutes, bassoons,saxaphone and electric bass incorporated into the result they term "Greek fusion." Kelly said because the music was such a challenge to master at first, the members didn't want to just give it up afterCarroll's recital. "We get together about four times a year or so to practice," Kelly said. "Along withour four 'core' members we have about 20 more musicians who sit in and play various instruments." The Macedonians' core members feature Kelly; Diz Carroll on sax and zourna; Roxane Rhea on flute andpiccolo and Stephanie Straight on percussion. The group has played around the Puget Sound area forthe past few years, at Bumbershoot, Mama Sundays and various clubs and parties. "Obviously this isn'ta full-time occupation or anything," Kelly said, "but it is a whole lot of fun." Catch the zourna and flugabone jam tonight at VU Coffee Shop.

One of the band'slatest songs, "Another Rasta Man," is a reflection on Peter Tosh's death. Oliver said, "The night Iheard about Peter Tosh's death, I knew I had to write a song about it." The song includes lyrics from anold Peter Tosh song about police brutality. The chorus tells the whole story. "Another reggae rasta manis gone, shot down in front of his friends by motorbike gunmen." Twelve of their originals are beingrecorded for a tape due for release at the end of winter quarter.

Funk-rocl: band The Moonpins will bring their danceable, high-energy sound to the Viking Union tomorrow along with Bellingham's gift to reggae,Almighty Dread. The Pins play original music as well as cover tunes from David Bowie and diversegroups such as Talking Heads, The Doors and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Moonpins beganperforming about four years ago while founding members Matt McClinton and Rick Haykin wereattending Western. The band currently is composed of McClinton on bass and vocals, Haykin on saxand keyboards, guitarist Mike Kilpatrick, drummer Jack Wolfin and new lead vocalist Karl Muller.Former lead singer Harley Tat left for Alaska last summer, forcing the band to search for a newvocalist. The Pins placed an ad in The Rocket and auditioned singers without success. Haykinremembered Muller's excellent, fluid jazz voice from their work together on a Muller single in a Seattlerecording studio, and then recommended him to the band. "Karl put out a single, he knows what itcosts and what motivation it takes. He writes lyrics and music. He is a good addition to The Pins,"McClinton said. Muller was the former lead singer for reggae-ska band Arms Akimbo. His singlecurrently is getting air time on KUGS, West- The Moonpins swing back into Bellingham for a gig at theViking Union tomorrow night. ern's non-commercial FM radio station. Wolfin said McClinton writes most of the songs the band performs, but musical arrangements are a group effort. "We have twice asmuch material as we use. Things (songs) come in and out of our repertoire, and they get worked on. We bring ideas into rehearsal, and things get written at practice," Wolfin said. Haykin contributed"Powerless," a tune that he describes as "ska-funk." "'Powerless' is an upbeat reggae tune aboutwanting something real bad...like Maslow's hierarchy of needs," Haykin explained. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a classic psychological theory that uses a triangle to depict human motivation. AnotherMoonpins tune, "Moving to Tukwila," written by McClinton, is a tale of a bizarre man who moves toescape the pressures of urban life. Audience favorite "It Isn't Easy," by Kilpatrick and Muller, featuresa mean and funky sax solo, McClinton said. The Pins gig at the VU tonight is sort of a homecoming for the band members, all of whom attended Western. "Our last show at Western was wild. There wereguys jumping up on stage and stage-diving. They were doing dives and flips in the audience - into their friends. Sometimes the crowd parts and they hit the floor. We like to get the crowd pumped, but wedon't want anyone to get h u r t ," McClinton said. The Moonpins are trying to make it in the Seattledance scene, but their hearts are still up north. "We've been spoiled by Bel-lingham. The crowds areenthusiastic and we've got a strong following. It is always nice to return," Haykin said. McClinton is asenior at Western studying political science. Western alumni elude Haykin, who was graduated in1987 with a speech communication degree, Wolfin, in 1986 with a bachelor's in environmentalscience, and Kilpatrick, a former history major. Kilpatrick also attended Cascade Business School.Muller is a Sehome High School graduate who attended Western's science education school for onequarter until his love of music lured him to the Seattle music scene. All band members now live inSeattle, except for McClinton. In order to pay for luxuries such as food and shelter, the Pins arestruggling with regular jobs until the band hits the big time. Muller put his University of Washingtonfisheries degree to use by working for a company that designs and builds custom fish tanks. A fittingprofession for someone who describes himself as " a fishhead through and through." I Haykin is awarehouseman for The Carpet Exchange and currently is trying for a sales position. Wolfin is acting asthe band's booking agent while he is unemployed, and Kilpatrick is an office manager for a floor tilingcompany. The Moonpins return February 12 and 13 to open for Paul Collins Beat, formally The Beat,at Buck's Tavern. ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 22 - Page 8 ---------- 8 ACCENT Snackers SNACKERS, from p.6 out there were beginning to sour on the pizza option anddecided to cash in by offering a yuppified meals-on-wheels.

While themen's nordic team turned in its second third place finish, the men's and women's alpine teams placedfifth in the combined results. In the individual races, the women placed fifth in the giant slalom andsixth in the slalom. "The course at Snoqualmie is much shorter that the course at Whistler, where weopened the season at," Coach Robert Bartsch said. "Both teams are still learn* ing the techniques ofracing, and with a shorter course, they needed to make quicker turns and faster adjustments." Bartschsaid he was pleased with the team's overall effort and improvement. Both teams are made up of amajority of recreational skiers with a minimal amount of racing experience, he added. "Our skiers areracing against seasoned ski racers and doing a great job of holding their own," Bartsch said. Western'stop performances came from the men's alpine team. Pat Rahkonen placed eighth in the slalom, whileMarcus Gruber finished 10th in the giant slalom and 14th in the slalom. Gruber was sixth in the slalomafter the first run, but lost time at the end of his second run when he had to back up to avoid missing agate. " T h e couple of seconds Marcus lost probably cost him a top five finish, which would havequalified him for regionals," Bartsch said. Western has yet to qualify anyone for the regional races thisseason, but the men's nordic team will qualify with one more top ] three finish. Bartsch said he hopessome individuals from Western will qualify at this weekend's race at Crystal Mountain. "We are the hostof this race and we usually perform well at Crystal." Bartsch said. "The courses will be longer and faster than the courses at Snoqualmie. I think we'll see some great racing." 17751 Test PreparationSpecialists 1107 NE 45th.

Listen. Earlier in themeeting, Trent Wheatley offered a revision to the agenda, cramming a proposal to freeze the board'spower to create new jobs before two new-job agenda items. The board passed it, effectively destroyingthe chances of the items. Why? Because a bill currently is on the floor of the House that, if passed,could raise the minimum wage to $4 JO. Then Dan Wood comes up with a reorganization plan for the AS Board that would kill the positions of directors of communications and University Services Council,squishing the board from its current nine members to seven. What Wood basically is saying is, "We cansave $3,700 by eliminating the positions. And better yet, let's have the people vote on it. We'll just spend$400 on the election." So far, so good. It appeared the board was making a conscious effort to reallysave Western some bucks. Then Mt. Baker erupted. Fleming suggested each board member chip in $5to pay the board's way for the cook-off. Brian Prosser had even written out a check for $25. But ourelected leaders would not be denied. As Eric Richey, who already is paid $725 a quarter to representyou, said, "I don't have five bucks." But, Richey apparently already had signed up the AS Board teamwithout authorization and without payment. He later said during the meeting, "I knew we would get themoney somewhere." Yeah. From us. And that doesn't even take into account the fact that the itemshould not even have been on the agenda in the first place. Last week, the chili issue was discussed forhalf an hour before it failed. It just magically reappeared this week under "other business." So, there itis. Student money spent to cook some chili. Their reason: "It's a networking tool," Wheatley said. It'sexactly this kind of arrogance we are sorry to be witnessing. A few members of the board stick to thereasoning. They are in privileged seats. The money is there to be spent. So don't forget to cheer on ourvery own AS Chili team. They will be the ones wearing $400 worth of rugby shirts we bought them fallquarter.

Adrift in an endless red seaThe financial aid shuffle Yes, it's been said before and undoubtably will be said again, but I feel it mustbe said now: Arrrghhh! This is the only printable way to express my feelings for our current system ofstudent financial aid. Since the middle of July, almost two months before starting school here, Ibegan what I thought would be a speedy journey toward a monetary windfall with which I would be able to attend college. Oh, how I was mistaken. Now in January, only seven months later, I havereceived repeated requests for this tax form or for that statement of assets, while seemingly getting no closer to either a grant or a loan. 1 have spent many hours standing in offices and lines, listening toother students with similar gripes. So I realize I am Former greats have sold out Adam L. Davies staffreporter not alone when told by someone sitting behind a computer terminal that the application isbeing processed and that notification of my award will arrive in a couple of weeks. I exit feeling relieved,only to find awaiting me in my mailbox, a note stating my W- 1040 tax form is missing and myapplication is incomplete without it. What irks me the most is that I already had sent this same piece of information to them twice before. Obviously the information got lost, either in the mail or in the shuffle. It disappeared, along with more of my money, spent to keep my head above a sea of red ink. The other sea I face is one of red tape. If survived, it could earn me a grant (which I wouldn't have to pay back), but I realize this is only a dream. The reality is that at the end of this nightmare I might receive a loan,which at this point, I would accept with equal fervor. At the moment, however, I, and perhaps otherstudents are not only broke, but are entering the halls of "debtdom." Unless some kind of economicassistance is presented for spring quarter, many of us will not have to worry about the somewhatcomical, always confusing world of financial aid, as we simply won't be able to afford an educationanymore. '60s rock stars are bad trip I f any of the great musicians from the late '60s-'70s era wouldhave met who they are today, they would have thought they were on the worst acid trip ever and swornoff the drug forever. Some of the greatest legends of rock are making total fools of themselves in the'80s. They've compromised themselves and their music to stay popular with the mainstream audience. Ijust want to know where their pride has gone. Jefferson Airplane's classic "White Rabbit" is real music. What do they think they're doing playing the MTV crap "We Built This City (On Rock and Roll)"? Mostof this new music put out by former greats has no integrity or diversity. These performers used tohave no sympathy for the listener and weren't afraid to demonstrate meaning or veracity in a song. It'spretty sad the way David Bowie has gone downhill in recent years. He looks better now, but the powerful albums like "Ziggy Stardust," "Diamond Dogs" and Francine Ott staff reporter "Heroes" are gone. Iggy Pop may be almost drug-free and sober during his recent performances, and his new album, "Blah,Blah, Blah," isn't bad, but it just doesn't compare to the intense cacaphony he used to spit ferociously at audiences in the late '70s. I just want to hear some genuine rock, not some music made palatable to the easily offended '80s audience. An old favorite, Yes, got the thumbs down sign after I heard"Rythym of Love." The "Fragile" album is almost a masterpiece. The band's new art form or alternative to music is incredibly depressing. The Beatles had guts and originality. They made incredible socialstatements. Paul McCartney and George Harrison now are making incredibly annoying music. There'sno two ways about it ~ they suck. The walking Michelob commercial, Phil Collins, can hardly callhimself a musician anymore. Phil has forgotten his best days, when he played with Genesis. Look athim now - Top 40 king, guest-starring on Miami Vice. The guy is a total fool. Mick Jagger can't face lifewithout making music. That's fine. But come on Mick, just take the time to play something decent. After making a living playing music for 10 to 20 years, I'd think a musician would get better, not worse.Maybe some of these bands should take a lesson from Robbie Robertson and wait until they havesomething worthwhile to say before they put out an album. The decent bands making good musictoday hopefully can remember not to be idiots in 10 years, like many of their predecessors. ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 22 - Page 11 ---------- FRIDAY, JANUARY 22,1988 WESTERN FRONT 11 Poem expresses Ross' gratitude The Front, I thinkNancye Sims says this much better than I could. I know this is what Bob (late Western President G.Robert Ross) would want for each of you. We are all proud of the advances made by Western underBob's leadership, but without all your cooperation, it couldn't have been done. I want to thank ya'll formaking our years so pleasant and happy and rewarding. Betty Ross A Creed to Live By Don'tundermine your worth by compelling yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of usis special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best foryou. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, forwithout them life is meaningless. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or forthe future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Don't give up whenyou still have something to give. Nothing is really over... until the moment you stop tiying. Don't beafraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other. Don'tbe afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we leam how to be brave. Don't shut love out ofyour life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love; the fastestway to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't dismissyour dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose.Don't not through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been but also where you're going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. (Poem by Nancye Sims Blue Mountain Arts, Inc.) Press exploits veteran status The Front, The Jan. 12 Western Front article whichreported the story of "...Richard Ivan Domer, a Vietnam veteran," is exemplary of an unfair bias beingcreated by media nationwide. That is, the assumption that a Vietnam veteran's current actions are a result of posttraumatic stress disorder. No substantiated claim was made in the article connectingthis man's war time experience to his recent shooting spree, yet by needlessly stating he was aVietnam veteran, the social stigma surrounding these veterans is being perpetuated. This is evident in Leslie Lang's editorial response (letter, Jan. 15) to the above mentioned article. In her editorial shetook the commendable position of defending those veterans who do have serious problems stemmingfrom the war. What I found disappointing was the fact that she, like many others, was lead to theassumption that Richard Ivan Domer is one of them, due to the careless wording in the Jan. 12 article. If the same situation were to happen with a veteran of the Korean War or either of the world wars, Idoubt if the fact would have even surfaced in the media. If anything, they might have included the man'soccupation. In The Front's article, his occupation was not even mentioned. It obviously makes for amore sensational story to imply he was a Vietnam vet "tripping out" than, perhaps, a shoe salesmanwho lost his job. Although we cannot keep the media from reporting the facts, we can be aware of ourown judgment regarding Vietnam veterans. In this country we would look down on anyone whoinsinuated that someone's actions were a result of them being black or Jewish, for example. Shouldn'twe show the same consideration for our veterans and not make presumptions about them based on theactions of others? Erin Smith Western forgot to honor King The Front, After attending Monday (Jan.18) night's men's basketball game against Seattle Pacific University, I was embarrassed and saddenedthat no one had thought to pay a small tribute to a great man on this country's newest holiday. Weheard the national anthem as always "the land of the free and the home of the brave" as our blackathletes' greatest leader was forgotten and we anxiously awaited the tip-off. I think Western owes anapology to these fine athletes who represent our university and for that matter all who were present. A little thoughtfulness can go a long way. Haven't we waited long enough? Brian O'Riley Saga leaves bad taste in mouth The Front, Can something be done about the food service? Grease-laden, undigestible,bland and often times unidentifiable, add insult to injury and make us wait in line for it, too. Now, thisisn't just a general bitch session about SAGA — we have a real, verifiable complaint. Last night (Jan.14) those dinner breads that are "baked fresh daily" happened to be biscuits, and we wereeyewitnesses to a band-aid BAKED INTO a biscuit! Is that not the most nauseating thing you could everhope to witness, or what? Let's start a fund for those of us dorm residents who walk away hungry everynight.

A goo:i time is anticipated and much can be learned from Mrs. Samson as she learned how to play her uke from the Hawaiians. By the consent of Miss Ormsby, the recipes given in War Cooking Class will be printed in the Messenger. This is not expected to have any effect upon the note book work. It will still be necessary to take notes on account of the fact that in class many side explanations will be made which will not appear in the Mess­enger. This action is taken for the bene­fit of the four hundred and fifty Mess­enger subscribers who are not students here. YOUR MONEY CAN A ID E—Reason Rightly. E—Eagerness Enters Easily.

GOVERNOR TO SPEAK AT IE The Rural Life program committee has received word that Governor Ernest Lis­ter will be present and open the confer­ence with an address. In a recent letter he said, "I am glad for the opportunity of talking to teachers regarding the great problems of country life." The committee is especially pleased to announce that the governor has taken time from his busy life to come to us with a message. The public as well as the students should hear Governor Ernest Lister on March 2, at 9 o'clock. I . SEATTLE'S OFFER J Seattle is making a new and most j splendid offer to the graduates of | this institution this year.

FORMER STUDENTS Dr. Nash spent last Friday of his trip in Bremerton and Charleston visiting schools. He found that the Normal was well represented in both places. In Bremerton*he met the following: Ma­mie Davis, May Wall, Dorothy Yates, Verne Smith, Jessie Mason, Myrle Rog­ers, Mrs. W. Ellis, Mrs. M. Rea, Margar­et MaeKechnie, Agnes Iverson, Maude Wahl and Ratchael Vandevander. In September, Miss Winnie Sallow became Mrs. Ellis and February 10th Mabel Bragden became Mrs. Rea. Miss Van­devander has a sister here at Normal. In Charleston he met Pearl Lenherr, Frances Starks, Lillian Nelson, Lorine Carrol, Phyllis Seymore, Miss Olson, El­sie Ridlen, Golda Ridlen, Lee Merriam, Ida Pierson, Lottie Crawford and Mrs. Ora Hinnes. E A S Tuesday morning in assembly, Rev. Mr. Wilson addressed the student body on the topic of service. He referred to what Dr. Nash had just said concerning the Salvation Army at the front. It is doing so much along with the Y. M. C A. and other organizations in connection with the great war. Boys and men over there lie over a bleeding heart. Almost two million of our men have gone away to perform a kind of service. There are so many opportunities for all of us, and so many appeals for aid which we might answer. The great teacher said that he was (Continued on Page Eight) E TERNITY SAYS WELCHMAN Dr. Arthur Walwyn Evans delivered his instructive lecture, "What America Means to Me," at the Normal auditorium on last Monday evening, to a large and responsive audience. He was briefly in­troduced by Mr. Philippi, after which the noted lecturer lost no time begin­ning with real business. Dr. Evans was born and educated in Wales where he made a record as a preacher and lecturer. He came to Am­erica to take the pulpit formerly occu­pied by the distinguished author and preacher, Dr. Edward A. Steiner, at Springfield, Ohio. Here his work at­tracted the attention of Lyceum Bureau managers and calls for his service be­came so insistent that he resigned his pastorate to devote his entire time to lecturing. In the past four years he has filled almost 1,200 engagements. His lec­ture bubbled over with wit and humor, but it was none the less thrillingly pa­triotic and should have been attended by every resident in Bellingham. In part, he declared as follows: "We are face to face with a worid crisis. We are in a world struggle which will determine for the immediate future whether principles of democratic freedom or principles of force shall dom­inate. The decision Avill determine not only the destiny of nations, but of every community and each individual. No life will be untouched. We have passed the period when any one nation can main­tain its freedom irrespective of other nations. Civilization has closely linked nations together by the ties of commerce and quick communication, common interests, problems and purposes. The future of free nations will depend upon their joint ability to -devise agencies so that the greatest opportunities for life, liberty and happiness may be assured to all. "The common people everywhere are hungry for wider opportunities to livi. Fraternalism, or universal brotherhood must come in order to save the world from monarchy and our United States is the nearest to that goal. That is why [ took up my residence among you." THESPIAN PLAY READY; NEXT FRIDAY IS DATE Next Friday night the first play of the season will be offered to the stu­dent body and the public at large. The name of the play is "Mary Jane's Pa," and it is being given by the Thespian club under the direction of Mr. Glenn Hughes. The audience must not be mislead by the play's title. It sounds like a nursery rhyme or a comic supplement. But in reality it is far from being either. It is a live, dramatic comedy of suburban American life, written wtih an excellent (Continued on Page Eight) CALENDAR TUESDAY— 8:50—Assembly. Rev. Fredrick Engebretson will give a brief address, followed by a musi­cal program under Mrs. Thatcher's direction. WEDNESDAY— 12:55—Choral. 2:35—War cooking. THURSDAY— 10:30—Assembly. Glenn Hughes will entertain students with his poems. 7:30—Thespian club meets. FRIDAY— 2:35—War cooking. THE STORKS FLAP BY IN TWOS AND THREES We had become used to an occasional single addition to the many families in which the Normal is interested, but now it has become almost an epidemic. Mr. Thompson has been swinging his Palmer Method pen with unusual elation for the last few days. Of course we all know why. Who wouldn't if he had just be­come the proud papa of a pretty baby girl? And then again we understand that a robust young gentleman (very young) has just declared himself to be the brother of one of our students, Miss Edith Hardin, daughter of Superior Judge Ed S. Hardin of this county. Lastly, it has only been a short time since we learned of the birth of a baby daughter to Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Hulse. In all the Normal feels unusually fav­ored. TELLS OF TRIP TO BREMERTON On his return from Bremerton, Dr. Nash gave a short talk in assembly on certain interesting experiences he had while away. He had the pleasure of hearing the pastor of the Moody church in Chicago, the Rev. Mr. Reagor, who has just come back from the front. Seven hundred officers of the Salva­tion Army are working right up to the firing line in the trenches. In the army there is the greatest interest in God. Every man wants to take God out there with him. As the appeal to the men was finished in one meeting, the speaker said, "Now men, I want to know how many of you want to take God with you?" and there was such an unanimous response from them that he thought that surely they could not have under­stood what he had said. And he tried again with the same result. Just before he returned from Seattle, Dr. Nash had the opportunity to hear (Continued on Page Eight) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1918 February 23 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEB. 23, 1918 LU WITH U. W. FRESHMEN Pursued by hard luck and a seven-footer by the name of "Shorty" Sielk, our boys Avere unable to get away with the bacon last Saturday night in a clash with the Freshies from the "U.'' The aforesaid lanky center, Sielk, merely looped the loop eight times and we bit the dust to the tune of 25 to 9. Coupled with his shooting was an agon­izing ability to get in the way of all opposing teamwork attempted in such a small "gym." Guarded closely, Kennett and Miller were unable to get away with their us­ual quota of baskets, though both scored "fishy" ones, while Hughes was too busy attaching "Longfellow" for many attempts in that line. Bartruff, "the little fellow," who took Davis' place during the latter part of the game, also sneaked in with a basket. The contest, which was especially hard-fought and full of thrills for the large audience, gathered impetus witii every passing minute. At first the Nor­mal led, because of its wild shooting, the half ended 13 to 9 in favor of the Uni­versity, however. Towards the latter part of the second half the Blue and White struck its pace and by a succession of baskets threat­ened to overcome its opponents' lead. However, to the bitter grief of the as­sembled rooters, the come-back materi­alized just a trifle too late. Starting out with the grim determin­ation to "show 'em." Our team has left on a trip to play return games with the Cushman Indians, the College of Pnget Sound, and the El-lensburg High School, all of which it has soundly thrashed before. The line-up for the recent fray was as follows: Freshmen: Olson (0) and Sohns (2), forwards; Sielk (16) center; Cairns (5) and Clarke (2), guards; Falconer (0) and Webb (0), subs. Normal: Kennett (15) and Miller (2h forwards; Hughes (0), center; Davis (0) and Frye (0), guards; Bartruff (2), sub.

MULLER ASPLUND Jewelers to THE NORMAL SCHOOL TRADE Next to First National Bank EXPERT WATCH AND JEWELRY REPAIRING Class Pins and Jewelry Made to Order Our Specialty In the Tacoma Ledger for Sunday, Feb. 7, appears a three-column cut of a group of basketball players from the Cascade grade school of Chehalis, who have won the championship for grade schools in Lewis county. This may not appear of much import­ance to Normal students but upon look­ing "closely at the two coaches in the picture we find Lee Cordz and Herbert Heath, both graduates of the Bellingham Normal. This is conclusive proof that Coach Carver is responsible for "starting teachers out in the way they should go and when they are coaches themselves they will not depart from it." "As the twig is bent—" "As the en­gine goes, so will the coaches follow after!" STUDENTS HEAR MR. GRIFFITH IN ASSEMBLY During the Thursday assembly a week ago, the students were entertained by a speech delivered by Mr. Griffith, a vet­eran of the Civil war, now acting a. lt; patriotic instructor of schools. His talk embraced incidents of Abraham Lincoln's career, his speeches, anecdotes, and hu­morous sayings; the causes of the war and its results. He read several letters written at that early date, and an ex­tract from an article published in the 1805 Tribune, at the time of Lincoln's second inaugural address, in Avhich wa^ discussed the phenomena of the appear­ance of the star Venus, as the people were dispersing from the gathering. This was reckoned a sign of good omen. Mr. Griffith has gotten out several booklets which would be profitable read­ing for us all, among them being Elbert; Hubbard's "The Cigarettist." His talk brought vis poignantly in touch with the affairs fifty years ago, and, as Mr. Griffith had the great honor of at one time shaking the hand of the immortal Lincoln, he was an object of most rev­erent respect and appreciation. MR. J. J. DONOVAN ADDRESSES ASSEMBLY Mr. J. J. Donovan, of Bloedel Donovan, addressed the students in assembly, Thursday, on the work that the religi­ous organizations are doing for the boys in the cantonments. The Y. M. C. A., the Jewish Organization, and the Knights of Columbus are especially noted for the great good they have already accomp­lished. He stated that 40,000 K. 0. members are in active service of Uncle Sam, and that 20 per cent of the popu­lation of the United States are Catho-li • . The only oath the members of this order take is one to uphold the Constitution of this country. And, as the Y. M. C. A. has asked funds to carry on its deeds of mercy, so now the Knights of Columbus do likewise. He. begged the students of the Normal to help to the best of their ability in this cause, saying that only a few cents would alleviate the suffering of some wounded soldier at the front. The money is to be used for recreation and moral teaching funds along with the Bed Cross work.

South Park, at the Foster school house, at the school gymnasium in Bothell audi the theater in Duvall, and at each place they were hospitably entertained. Among their thrilling experiences was a drive between Duvall and Everett. The river clam had broken and although the water, which appeared to lie in an unbroken sheet, was less than two feet deep on the road, it was about eight feet deep on either side. Miss Schoenberg has a dis­tinct memory of a fourteen mile drive in about that many minutes over a rutty road in a Ford truck. Mrs. Colby paid a short visit to her sister in Seattle and Miss Schoenberg spent a few hours at her home there. Although tired with their journey, all had such a splendid time that they are looking forward to similar trips.

GEORGE F. RAYMOND Organizations STUDIO CLUB ENTERTAINS Thursday evening the Studio Art club entertained at the home of Miss Druse in celebration of St. Valentine. A charming arrangement of hearts and cupids in the rooms made a very attrac­tive setting for the occasion. Baskets of red carnations on the tables carriei out the color scheme. When the young men guests arrived each one found his name on a cord which guided him to the Gypsy queen, who, adorned in her native gayety, was all too eager to import his future to him. While fortunes were being read to some, others indulged in novel games. Even though not members of the Studio club some of the young men showed marked ability in illustrating Mother Goose Rhymes in three-minute charcoal sketches. Each game was entered into with spontaneous gayety and enthusi­asm. SISTERS' LEAGUE At the special meeting of the Sisters' League last Friday afternoon, the fol­lowing officers were elected: Hazel McClelland, President. Carrie Endrighi, Vice-President. Mary Carlson, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Mead gave a short talk, empha­sizing the importance of the work of the League, deploring the lack of attendance in the past, and hoping for better at­tendance in the future. Y. W. C. A. NOTES Katie Lapp entertained Helen Dun-canson of Ferndale over" the' week end. Anacortes seems to be quite an attrac­tion for our Y. W. girls, as Gail Pric? is to visit her sister, Berl Price, over the week end and Pauline Shuler will be the guest of Jean Belch at her home. Another of our flock, Katherine Lopp, is to go to Rolling Bay to grace a house party. Beryl Price of Anacortes spent Wed­nesday and Thursday with her sister, Gail Price. To fill the vacancies in our midst over the week end, Mary Ramsey of Seattle will visit her sister, Irene, Ram­sey, and Marion Schofield Johnson will have her little brother, "Pat," from Ev­erett as her guest. Last Saturday evening after the bas­ketball game a merry party was held in the "garrett" of the Y. W. It was in the form of a "nuts" party so all came dressed accordingly. Gladys Ham-ley and Jean Belch were very "stun­ning" in their grandma and major out­fits, respectively. Saphrone and Pete, no otjier than Ruth Panchot and Mari­on Johnson, were very fetching and caused a great deal of merriment. A party would not be complete without a society belle, so of course we had one in Your school work will be easier if your eyes are all right.

Merriment proceeded with the usual characteristic games and stunts until a "late" or maybe "early" hour when "grandma" and the "major" escorted their children to their respective cells. PHILOMATHEAN Thursday evening, February 7th, the Philos met for a Valentine program and party. The room was beautifully dee-orated with a profusion of hearts and cupids, with a background of evergreen. The early part of the evening was spent with contest games which were followed by the opening of the Valentine box. No desei'iption need be given of the messages received on these Valen­tines. We were then favored by a cornet solo by Willard Yerkes, and a vocal solo by Alberta Getsman. A toast to the Philo cupid was given by Mabel Mc- Fadden during refreshments. The fun ended all too soon and every Philo went home feeling that with the splendid and commendable work done by cupid in the past for the Philos, there is hope for us all in the future. Y. W. C. A. The meeting of February 13th was led by Mrs. Converse, who was also the principal speaker. The girls present took part in discussing the subject of the meeting which was, "God's Relation to Me, and My Relation to God." Rev. Hudson spoke at our last meet­ing and the Misses Goldie and Sylvia Gilfilen sang. The student body was very patriotic in enlisting such large numbers in the various branches of service at our mili­tary party: - No exemptions from service were necessary, proving to us the super­ior qualities of our students. Each di­vision gave a stunt. These proved very interesting to the observer for they il­lustrated first, the drilling of the navy; the "downing" of the (Kaiser by th lt; gt; army; and finally, the serpentine march of victory by the marines given with much music and "pep." After the grand march, America was sung as a signal of closing the camps for the day. The "Hoover spread" of rosy apples, served from pretty baskets of gold and purple, the association col­ors, was enjoyed by all. We extend to all, a hearty welcome to all of our meetings in the Y. W. C. A. room on the third floor, which are held directly after the war cooking class on Wednesdays. Superintendents Shusenann and Goss and Principal Wolfe of the Bremerton- Charleston Union School are all doing excellent work. While in Seattle Dr. Nash secured the promise of Supt. Cooper to deliver the Commencement address. Mrs. Brown, the recorder, has com­pleted the task of getting out the grades. Those who have reached the legal age of 21 may get their own from the office while the others must wait for reports from home. Mr. Hoppe spent last week in Klicki­tat county filling his lecture course ap­pointments. He spoke to the children of the schools and high school in the day time and gave a play-recital in each of the following places: White Salmon, Husun, Lyle, Centerville, Goldendale, Alder and Roosevelt. He reports hav­ing seen few former Normal students, most of the teachers having come from Cheney, except Miss Marie Anderson, who is at Centerville, and who sent greetings to her friends here. She is teaching upper grades and her work is spoken of very highly. He also met Mr. W. F. Peterson, superintendent nf schools at White Salmon. He is a Bell­ingham Normal man and is conducting a successful year's work. ' ^ W. A. HALL Fruit, Confectionery, Etc. Newsdealer Phone 1S01 1315 Dock ' • lt; E. D.

A PEACE OF OUR MIND The Russians sued for sep'rate peace, A shabby suit it was That they should ease Their shaking knees By slighting Freedom's cause. But they forgot to contemplate, In haste to quench their thirst That what if Fate Negotiate The Allies peace the first. The Normal school extends its sym­pathy to Miss Wynona Graham in her bereavement over the recent loss of her mother, and also to the loved ones of Mr. Edward Altman, a former student, who died in the service of his country. His is the second gold star on Normal's service flag. AN APPRECIATION The Messenger wishes to express its appreciation for the interest, the gen­erous help, and the boosting spirit which the following people have shown toward it, whether in contributions or in other ways. Ah! that we might have more such boosters as these—Dr. Nash, Mrs. Snyder, Freda Lacky, Mr. Hughes, Mary Tomlinson, Cassie Cales, Mr. Klemme, Ella Wilkin, E. Kobelt, Miss O'Conner, I'aul Waschke, Lydia Peery, N. E. Con-nell, Tillie Gish, Grace Brown, Florence Knapton. The editor would like to know by what criminal plot that notorious epistle named "Why" got into the Messenger last week without his knowledge. IS IT NOT STRANGE That we do not take advantage of our opportunities? When I first came to the Normal, and wandered about the building I was impressed by the splen­did library and study room which was here at the disposal of the students. Comfortable seats and desks, good light and a pleasant view were available, to say nothing of the splendid periodical room in the rear. Later in the day, I became acquainted with the Y. W. C. A. Rest Room, a pleasant, quiet place to rest or meet friends and chat. Other? of the class rooms were at the disposal of students at certain hours, I found, and I thought, "How fortunate are the stu­dents here, to have these opportunities right within the doors of the institu­tion." Some weeks passed by. Although not a keen Observer, I began to note, as I went to and from my locker, that there was a much larger number of girls in the locker rooms than seemed neces­sary. Yet here were girls sitting on a hard bench knitting, crocheting, eating, and chatting, while some perched on the window sills and studied, or tried to. On another window sill was possibly, a girl doing basketry, or one even attempt­ing to make a Psycology drawing. This indeed was an extraordinary state of affairs! At first, beyond casual notice, I did not think much of it, but as time passed the thing surprised me more and more. Coming into the locker room, to prepare for gym, one often found every chair filled, not with persons who were sup­posed to use them, but rather many were in front of the hot water pipes, where an industrious knitter would b? found seated, feet perched on the pipes. Those dressing for gym found them­selves peculiarly entertained by the stray bits of breezy conversation, in­tellectual and otherwise, that floated in to them. In returning from gym, the place was swarming, it being the lunch hour. Five in each window sat partak­ing of their mid-day luncheon. I can't now safely tell the frame of mind I was in, as I edged my way out of this place twice a week. I could not imagine myself eating in locker room 21; hardly when there was a dining hall at the other end of the hall. May­be the girls didn't know about that, or thought they could not eat there unless they bought their dinner at the cafeteria. Maybe—let's give them the benefit of a doubt. But why, oh! why did they study, or attempt to, down in that dark, unpleas­ant place? They certainly knew there was a library, and, unlike the auditori­um, it was always warm. Of course they couldn't gossip or discuss "the war" in the library, but then, so much the better for the studying. If a conversa­tion or a quiet chat was desired there was the rest room upstairs. I think perhaps the crocheters had the best ex­cuse— they didn't want people to see them crocheting at a time such as this! Very well. But how painful would be the complaints if these individuals were compelled to sit in such a place on "an old hard bench!" Human beings are at times the most unreasonable creatures and act contrary to all laws of common sense. Isn't it strange ? (A little explanation is probably in order as to the title. Out of school yet into school.) Doris Mcintosh is teaching in Urban, Washington. Olive Bovee writes from Pendleton, Oregon, where she is teaching penman­ship, that she wishes to come back to Washington and has put in an applica­tion in the Tacoma schools. She sends her best wishes. Jean Coates is filling a rural school position at Dryad, Wash. She was for­tunate in being met at Chehalis by Mr. Canterbury who took her to Dryad and wrote Miss Keeler that she was just the type of girl they wanted. The following poem was received from an alumnus who teaches in Yakima county. Students and facutly will re­member Miss Lucile Nichols. Cupid played his part, however and she now answers to Mrs. Lucile Needham. RED CROSS Tune—Jolly Students. You may talk of France and England, and of all the things they do, To save their wounded soldiers on the battlefield of Verdun; The Union Jack of England, and the French Red, White, and Blue; That fly in far off Europe, over hearts both staunch and true. From the sunny shores of 'Frisco up to distant Portland, Maine, The women of America are working hard again, There is no country east, or west or south can ever show So brave, so true, so great a crew of women as we know. Correct Millinery for Women and Misses. Models to please the most fastidious. Values tell— $2.75, $2.95, $3.95, $4.95 Chorus— For they are up and doing now, with ready hand, For their own land, Their colors are Red, White, and Blue; They bear the stars and stripes Of our America, America, They're the kind who dare and do. They are busy cutting bandages, and knitting sweaters too, To save the boys and keep them warm as all good mothers do; The wristlets and the mufflers, they will come in handy too To the navy boys who now defend the Red, the White, the Blue. They need the help of every one, who care to lend a hand. In all their work you'll find them true to their dear native land. All women who've not joined them will find they are at a loss, Says Uncle Sam, "Who saved our boys" it will be the Red Cross. Chorus— For they are up and doing now with ready hand for their own land. Their slogan is, "Humanity." They bear the stars and stripes of our own America, America, They're for all Humanity. L. N. Bill Edson's voice has returned. No, it was not stolen; it just left. In fact, it has been gone for so long that we had almost given up hopes of ever hearing its deep vibrations again. He proved his ability to talk above a whisper when he got up in assembly Tuesday morning and made an announcement. We are all glad, and, are sure that he is too, that he can now talk in his classes with a voice that is loud enough so that it does not seem that he is having a private tete-tete with his teachers. Yerkes: "I know you." Sorensen: "Who am I?" Yerkes: "Nobody." Sorensen: "Good heavens, I am dis­covered !" WHO PAYS THE DISCOUNT allowed to Normal Students at many stores? School teachers, dress makers, nurses, professional men and their families and clerks of other stores are generally allowed dis­counts, too, at these stores. Personal friends of the proprietors- and clerks have little trouble in getting this same general discount. Then general discount sales to everyone (which in reality only takes in a few more, for nearly everyone is entitled to a discount as it is.) Isn't it reasonable that these discounts are marked onto the merchandise in the original price? It's absolutely necessary it be if the merchant is to stay in busi­ness. The Wahl Store quotes one price to everyone. That one price a fair one, as low as markdowns and discounts. The J. B.

Dear Miss Woodard: Your pleasing letter arrived some time back but have not had the time to answer it. I doubt if I will ever catch up with my correspondence. From 5:45 in the morning until 10 o'clock in the evening I do not have more than an hour to myself, but I am expecting a change in the near future. I have been assistant to Major Grammes, who is su­perintendent of transportation. I like the work in a way but you have more trials, troubles, grievances and scraps than a school teacher. I have asked the captain to let me drive the new Dodge sedan we are going to get and he said I could, so I will probably have more time in the near future. Dan received thirty letters in the last mail, and I twenty-six. The majority of them were from Normal students and we were cer­tainly pleased to hear from so many of them. I certainly hope they keep it up. We will try our best to answer them all. I bet Dan a chicken dinner I received more leters from the fair sex in the Normal than he did, but needless to say, I was hopelessly outclassed about three to one, so it's up to me to furnish the dinner. Dan is writing just across the table from me and sends his regards and will answer your letter in the near future. In your letter you mentioned some of the wonderful places you had vistied in London. You mentioned attending ser­vices in St. Paul's cathedral. I was in the cathedral just before services be­gan and a. funny incident happened/ while we were there. We have a Swede in our company whose memory is rather blank on the old heroes of by-gone days. I came up to him standing in front of the monument dedicated to Lord Nelson. He turned to me and with the usual prefixes said "that she sure was sorno monument they had erected to Battling Nelson, former lightweight champion of the world. Of course those are not the STUDENTS If you are going to have photo­graphs made, why not have qual­ity and good workmanship.

The one I prize the highest is a dagger with two blades which run paral­lel to each other. One side is notched and there is a sliding key between the two blades which regulates the distance between the blades. I took it from a Spaniard who tried to get friendly with me when I fired him. We have quite a bit of amusement with some of the Chinese that we have cleaning up and doing "fatigue" work. They are northern Chinese and very bright fellows. We have them all named after the fellows; line them up and drill them. The one we call Dan can count to tweny, so we made him a corporal the next day and he came to work all dolled up but would not work, so we demoted him. We have quite a bit of fun and amusement playing jokes on the fellows. They assigned a medi­cal man to our company who had just arrived from Boston. Yesterday one of the fellows found a skull so we made a dummy and laid it on the cot and put an overcoat on it. We used a pair of rubber boots for the feet and stuffed a pair of mittens for the hands. We put a hat over the skull and all stood around the cot. One of the boys ran to the hut and informed the medical man that a man was dying. He rushed into the room, pushed us aside and pulled off the hat. I won't try to describe what happened, but he turned rather white. All of these boyish pranks go a long way in making the burden lighter, and the time certainly does fly. We have been in this camp nearly five months and are looking forward to the day when we can again see that grand old Statue of Liberty extending her arm toward us, but we are not coming back until we finish with Kaiser Bill. I know the day that we start there is nothing in the world that can stop us. We are anxious­ly waiting that time. Will have to close and make out my evening report. Give our regards to all of our old classmates that are left. Sin­cerely yours, Ora S. Sitton, 18th Eng. Ry. ' In France, Jan. 23, 1918. Dr. G. W. Nash, Bellingham, Wash. Dear Sir and Friend: Your letter of Dec. 23rd was received yesterday and I was glad to get it. I was certainly surprised and shocked io hear that Louis Gloman was dead. I have always felt that Louis was one of the best friends that I made during my attendance at the Normal school and I have been looking forward to his coming over here in hopes of being able to see him and renew our acquaintance. War is a stern game and there will be many of us who will never return to America and I sincerely hope that if it is my fate to be left over, here that I may leave a clean record behind me and die as becomes a soldier. However, be­ing optimistic, I am already laying my plans for my future work when I return to America, as I have never felt that I would not return. My health is still excellent. I have not lost much weight and I believe I could still wear your clothes if the oc­casion should arise again. I am working every day, Sunday in-eluded. Very often it is also necessary to work evenings. We do not mind it, however, as we are working for a just cause and are here to give the best we have in us. You mention the work of the Y. M. C. A. I know that the people at home have responded nobly to the appeal to help the soldiers in France and we cer­tainly appreciate it. There are no peo­ple in the world any more ready to help than those of America. Notwithstand­ing there has been considerable criticism of the Y. M. C. A., taking an unpreju­diced viewpoint I can say that some of it is unjust. However, there is much that is just. We all sincerely hope that the leaders of the work will take hold and see that the work is carried out as it should be. In many cases the Y. M. C. A. men do not seem to have the best interests of the men at heart. In the larger towns they have large Y's. but out in the camp, while in many cases they have large huts, they are not as active in their work and that is where they are needed. In case I do not get to answer all the letters that I received from the school, I wish to thank students and teachers for the many cheering letters that I re­ceived and I hope to be able to thank them in person at some future time. Your friend, D. H. Johnston, Co. D., 18th Eng. Ry., U. S. A., P. 0. A705, via New York, A. E. F., France.

Until luncheon sub­jects of the necessity of home econo­my and the future present of the public school was discussed. Lunch­eon was then served to Mr. Washing­ton in progressive style, mid pleas­ant chattering. During the afternoon we each had the honor of a private conversation with the tall, raw-joint­ed, muscular gentleman of powerful personality. At sundown we gathered about the fireside with both of our honor guests and sang and hummed old familiar songs and patriotic hymns. We then discussed the vital subject and subjects of today, which is the common interest to us all. Mr. Washington gave us inspiration, but leaves us the work. He also assured us that the man at our helm is doing as much as mortal man can do in God's plan of evolution, and the re­sult will be the right one. He pointed to the questions of the past and their GOOD FOOD EXCELLENT SERVICE REASONABLE PRICES K^a/et_yClcA etieu WALTER S.

At this he arose at full height,, lips pursed, his eyes appeared almost white, such a light gray, still they seemed to flash with American patriotism. He said much, but still said nothing. While we were deeply interested in deep silence we were called to dinner. As we realized the gentleman's taste for artistic table effects, as well as food artistically arranged, and we prepared for both through our talented members, in call­ing with the present time—war cook­ing. The table was simply yet beau­tifully decorated with American flags, entwined with the colors of the allies and some of our native green­ery. The dinner was thoroughly en­joyed, as were the toasts. After pleas­ant good evenings and "may we meet agains," we ushered our guests out and betook ourselves to our rooms for solemn and happy meditation. EDENS HALL NOTES.

The lowest plane is compulsory service, on the next plane is service for a reward, and on the next and highest plane is that which is ren­dered voluntarily. Everyone must render some service that is compulsory. Every day service is of this nature. Men who are drafted show no difference from the men who volunteer, after a few weeks. They be­come enthused over doing their duty. If a man compells you to go with him one mile go with him twain. Service for rewards is very common in this commercial age. This is the kind of service most of us render. Service is indeed very attractive when the reward is in sight. Voluntary service is the highest and best and its joys are more lasting. No­where is there more opportunity for this than in teaching. Because of what little one may give as a teacher, one may reach the lives of children and be of a real benefit to humanity.

Underneath the humor and wit with which he enter­tains the public runs a vein of sadness. Only a short time ago he was on the plains of Arras, just after the attack by the Germans. The soldiers told him that they felt that they were in their proper place and asked how are the folks back home. Mr. Lauder sang the "Red Cot in the Dell" for them. Out there on the Arras field he lost his only son. So while he sings he also gives the saddest note. Anyone who hears him is stirred to do anything he can to help win this war. JUNIORS WIN FIRST KLINE CUP GAME OF THE SEASON Juniors! Juniors! Juniors! Rah! Rah! Rah! could have been heard a block after the close game between the Juniors and Seniors on Wednesday, February 13, at 4:10. The Seniors had to admit defeat, much to their embarassment. A series of yells were entered into between halves by the onlooking Seniors which voiced their feelings for the Juniors who lost the first half. But, alas! the end of the last half changed their tune and they faded away. We know not where but we have our own thoughts. The Junior team promises to be a fast one. The fact that one of our players is exceptionally short must not give the Seniors encouragement. Sen­iors, beware! as her partner is constant­ly on the job with a quickness that startles the Seniors. The guards are a constant terror for the Senior forwards; they seem to have formed a friendship for the Seniors that requires them to be always present when Seniors have the ball. Our center is not to be slighted. She slides around her opponent and down to the basket and makes a basket before the whistle wakes the Seniors up. So come on, you Seniors,! The Juniors are "over the top" and if you want to be in line you will have to fight. The Seniors took defeat in a good spirit because of the brilliant hope of the future. It is rumored they have something up their sleeve for the future game, so Juniors, watch out! Show them you are always on the job and ready for them! The line-ups were as follows: Juniors—Forwards, Campbell and New­ell; center, Frank; guards, Kaylor, and Pol ley; Markham. Seniors—Forwards, Tyler and Turpel: center Agee; guards, Morgenthaler and Hagen. The game ended in favor of the Jun­iors, the score being 18 to 17.

Upon its first appearance a few years ago it was played with tremendous success in New York and over the entire country. Max Figman, the celebrated comedian, starred in it as Hiram Perkins for two years. This fact alone should be enough to convince the reader that he has a real play in store for him next Friday night. The plot centers around the whimsical character, Hiram Perkins, who enters the play after he has run away from his wife and children eleven years before, and now conies back, so changed that his wife is the only one who recognizes him. A tense scene follows. In a moment of irony and pity, Mrs. Perkins offers to give him his board and room if he will do her general housework. Hiram sur­prises her by accepting. His artistic, high-strung imagination allows him to see romance in the novelty of the idea. In the two acts that follow, an amaz­ing number of amuzing incidents occur. The Perkins family becomes a tangled web of scandal, youthful romance, po­litical fights, small-town comedies, and a strong emotional conflict between Hi­ram and Portia. When things reach a climax, and an explanation is the only way out, Mrs. Perkins admits her hus­band bravely, and Hiram, now thorough­ly unselfish after his years of self-in­dulgence, offers to leave at once and make way for Eome Preston, the lawyer, who wants to marry Portia. But now there is a reaction on the part of Portia, and s*he realizes suddenly that her old love for him has returned, and that both of them have grown wise and capable of patching up a life that fell to pieces in the first few years of their young '• marriage. She asks Hiram to stay, and' finally he admits that at last he has1 come to love her and the children, and that he feels a new stimulus to live and make good. His emotional crisis sweeps away all of his old irony, his indiffer-' ence, his cynical egotism. The last act ends with a touch of very real human pathos. The play abounds in humorous char-' aeters. Miss Helen Upper as Ivy Wil­cox, the boy-struck village belle, Paul I Washke as Line Watkins, the "nut" stage driver, Miss Hazel Huntsberger as| Miss Faxon, the prude milliner. Chester! Garden as Star Skinner, the blonde hero of Gosport, and Phil Montag as Claud Whiteomb, the laziest man in Indiana; these are enough to insure a multitude) of laughs. And the lines that go with them are funnier than the people them­selves. Miss Nina Lusk makes quite a charm­ing feminine lead, Mr. Beasley will make his first appearance on the local stage playing opposite Miss Lusk, Miss Ber-nice Ober handles in excellent fashion one of the most difficult mature char­acterizations that has been attempted here for a long time, Mr. John Miller puts over an amuzing piece of work in the role of Joel Skinner, the grasping, crooked old rural politician, Mr. Earn­hardt Hansen plays Home Preston with unusual strength and sincerity, and Miss Ella (Betty) Lee is the most winning little Mary Jane that the exacting critic could demand. Tickets are now on sale by members of the Thespian club at the usual prices. The Normal School Orchestra under the direction of Madame Davenport-Engberg will furnish the music.
