Basketball Team Goes On Tour ORATORS ARE TO ALLISON DEBATE CUP OBJECT OF DEBATERS With Professors Rashkopf and Hoppe, coaches, and Miss Cummins, a member of the forensic committee, doing the supervision work the Normal debating teams are thoroughly preparing themselves to bring back the Allison Debate Cup from Cheney. That "we must bring the cup back," is the sentiment expressed by practically everyone in the school. The whole school stands behind the debators iii their determination to bring home £he cup. Miss Rokes, Miss Inga Benson,, and Mr. Mason Hall will defend the affirmative; and Miss Stoughton, Miss Spaight and Mr. Oliver Ingersoll will defend the Negative. The question to be debated is: Resolved, That the Phillipine Islands be given their Independence by 1930. This question. is much in the limelight at the present time and it is believed that a strong case can be made by both teams. lALULASSJO" The class graduating this quarter consisting of twenty-seven members, has organized and elected Miss Beatrice Dahlquist, as president, preparatory to its commencement in March.

MISS OLIVE EDENS Normal Loses First Game; Then Wins Second Easily A large crowd was present in the Normal gym Friday night, when the strong Ellensburg basketball team defeated the local Normal "five" 23 to 14. The close guarding and excellent team work of the local men held the visitors from running up a large score during the game. Hughes, our star forward, was off color Friday, as he could not seem to locate the basket; he made shot after shot from every place on the floor, but missed every time by a narrow mai'gin. Both teams played a very clean game, few personal fouls being called during the game. The visitors made the first basket and kept the lead throughout the entire game. The score at the end of the first half was 11 to 10 in their favor. The visiting center, F. Robinson, played a star game, making 15 out of 23 points for them. Line-up: Bellingham.

Cheney Normal's journal has excellent editorils and one column is turned oyer to "'.Tinimie's Letter," which is, by the way, very clever. Poor Jimmy! How many, many boys feel that way soon after they come to a Normal school! Perhaps its their youth, however. "The Yellow Jacket" will be presented at Cheney soon by the Drama League of Spokane. Wish we could be there, too. The Centralia high school paper shows some of the true spirit of a high school, that is, fun on top and deep thought well expressed, and a real school spirit below the surface. Their paper is strictly devoted to school affairs and expressed in a clear cut manner. Several new courses are to be introduced in Centralia, for example. Solid Ceonictry. Argumentation, Social Science and Applied Art and He-signing. We are informed by the College Exchange from W. S. C, that Budic Olt-maii, of Bellingham. has just been initiated by the "Scabbard and Blade" military honor society; that Lulu Sells, also of Bellingham. has been pledged by the Phi Mu Beta, honorary education society: that Man son Fisher has been appointed a member of a committee "to pass on movies, plays, and lectures to prevent conflict and to 'assure diversity of entertainment." We also have received from the W. S. C. a set of interesting articles which we will be glad to loan to any of the students. Last, but not "least, the Dice Club is scheduled to appear in Bellingham sometime in February. Williamette (Salem, Oregon.) University, presented with great success Ibsen's drama, "A Doll's House." This shows great progress, we believe, in the class of p'ays presented by colleges. We look forward with the greatest anticipation for every copy of this paper.

Forty seniors received their diplomas from that school last week. How we envy you your sleigh-riding, you North Centralites, Spokane. Wash. An interesting interview with a policeman on the subject of dancing is one of the features of this issue. A committee has been formed to keep in touch with pupils through four years of high school and correspond with them- after graduating. This, school shows through its columns a great spirit —one that is going to keep its ideals and its perfect citizenship on the pinnacle on which it now stands. "The Tahoma," from the Stadium High School, Taconia. Wash., has a new department, "Bavings of a Milk Fed Prophet," which is clever and good. It upholds the high standard it set for itself at the beginning. Othe r exchanges are: "Exponent," Aberdeen. So. Dak.; "Creen and White Courier," Maryville, Mo.; "Kapunahou," Honolulu, T.

It is reported that several members of the faculty have written to Miss Edens, addressing their letters to the steamer Aquiatania with orders to toss the letters overboard in order that they may say they have had letters accepted by the Atlantic. NORMAL LOSES FIRST: WINS SECOND EASILY (Continued From Page One) the hard fighting of the whole team supplied the fans with plenty of thrills. Not a point was made during the first ten UKI a half, minutes of some of the hardest and fastest playing ever viewed by local fans. . Bellingham scored the first point when Yanderford shot a basket from a difficult position, causing the crowds to go completely wild. The team kept the lead all through the first half, ending it with-two baskets and two free throws, a total of (• points, while Ellensburg had •aptured two baskets. •Yanderford started the second half by making a basket in the first minute of play, after which Ellensburg immediately got a burst of speed and shot in six points, making them 10, also giving them the lead, which they lost when l gt;ellinghant made a basket and tied the score. The s gt;joro remained tied until the last few minutes of the third quarter, when the local "five" forged -ahead.-.and made shot after shot from every position on the floor. The last few seconds of the play was very'interesting, the losing team trying hard to catch up, but with no avail. The Bellingham Normal outplayed their opponents from the start, being faster and lighter, and having the advantage of the larger gym floor. They played all around the heavier players of the Ellensburg Normal. Captain Victor Hughes kept the Ellensburg team on the defense most of the game by his continued shooting. Time after time he would throw for the bas.ket from one side of the floor and beat the opponents to the ball shooting again from the other side. Vic Hughes is of the hardest workers on the team and is having hard luck at present getting baskets. The entire game was considered by basketball fans as being a very clean one, there being only one personal foul made in the first half and less than eight in the whole game. Line-up: Bellingham.

SAD EFFECTS OF HOME BREW ON THE EDITOR Somebody sent the editor of the Pumpkin Center Star a few bottles of home brew, and the same day he received a marriage notice and a copy for an auction sale. Here is the result: W gt;m. -Tones and Miss Lucy Anderson were offered at public auction at my farm, one mile east of a beautiful cluster of roses and two white calves before a background of farm implements too numerous to mention in the presence of about 70 guests, including two milk cows, six mules and one bob sled.

The 7B Science class is very busily engaged in making charts of the different cones. A very unusual treat was given the 7thA Science class on Thursday afternoon, when they were allowed to use the machine for throwing pictures on the screen in Mr. Philippi's room in connection with their study of days. Each pupil made a report on his or her favorite dog and as the picture was thrown on the screen the report was given.

Last week was promotion week and all students were more or less excited over the idea of passing one grade higher to new teachers and different rooms. B. S. N. S. STYLE IN ENGLISH. (A Synopsis) —Mary B. Egbert..... The things I think, the things 1 feel Are known to me as very real; They form an inner life apart I'i'om all material forms of art. My brother's thoughts I may not know, Not even those of friend or foe. Until express'd by tongue or pen. I'n comprehensive terms to men. Amotions too may burn within. Unknown to strangers, kith or kin, Till we by word or deed impart The secret treasures of our heart. Herein doth lie our u^e of style For by its use, we reconcile The outer form with inner truth. Style's outward body visible Must be to man infallible Expressive of emotions mine As well as thoughts and felings thine In written words it must appear And not by sounds thai men can hear. If mortal mind is then inIpress'd By what he finds in words express'd The term of clearness is applied On which for meaning he relied. If his emotions are impressed It comes thru Force by Style possess'd. The niiin aesthetic too may feel Response within to Style's appeal, And this impressing tptality : Is Elegance','undoubtedly. This outward body's built of marks Of dots and circles, lines and arcs, They indicate to man some sound Artkulative organs found. These sounds make words that by consent And common usage now present The unrealities obscure With clearness in our literature. Our language then, to man conveys, Emotions, thoughts and thus portrays By Clearness. Force and Elegance Our intellectual advance. The source of words, we would suggest Is men who know and speak the best. Our words must be of good repute Have meanings men dare not dispute. Xo local terms nor technical Should mar our language vehicle, And present usage too mush share A part in our selective care. Xow ni.arks make words, and words we find, Form sentences of ev'ry kind. When groups of sentences unite .To form a paragraph in type, ;And paragraphs make larger Wholes Embracing all within their folds, We have our body visible. Before the whole is well allied Three principles must be applied. The first of these is Unity The oneness of reality; Made visible by human art in which our words are but a part. All thoughts must cluster round about One central point and not without. A second principle is Mass Arresting sight ere it can pass, Applied externally by norm To give o u r outer body form. Our third, Coherence is the last Relating parts and binding fast, By striking out all useless draff. Each sentence, words and paragraph. Tii meanings, well denoted, stand Our source of all from ev'ry land. Our choice of tools, connoted well Emotions keen must fully tell.

ERROR CORRECTED Due to a typographical error, a misstatement occurred in the article by Miss Keeler on the 30-10 plan in the last issue of the Messenger. The statement as printed reads: "Under the 30-10 plan less money would be raised on' a statewide unit while the county tax would remain the same." The correct reading is as follows: "Under the 30-10 plan less money would be raised on a distrk-t basis, more would be raised on a statewide unit while the county tax would remain the same." ST.

There are all sorts of bores, dry bores, chatty bores, scrappy bores, gluan bores, etm., etc. etc. Up here we have all the fifty-seven varieties: The field is too wide. Let's narrow it. Consider the class-room bore; he studies not, neither does he think. He knows more than the instructor himself and asks that dignitary to "stop and think." He interrupts an explanation to prose on about "putting it another way," or "in other words," or "that is to say." "While another person is reciting he shakes his head and waves his hand aloft. When not arguing he reads the Saturday Evening Post. Verily, he is the biggest bore. -. Then there is the "cute" girl bore; the little "cut-up" who laughs and whispers and pinches.and jumps. She is convulsed with laughter at her own witticisms. Her contributions to the discussion are not very illuminating, and her grades are D and C. She is very sensible compared with the third type, the borrowing bore. It would not be so bad if this bore stopped at dimes and fountain pens and note paper. It's when he or she begins to borrow lesson plans and reading reports that we get tired. Moral courage is a nice thing to have around but we hate to trot it out every day in refusing the borrowing bore. We could hold this talk for an hour or two. We just remember that Ave are being the worst of all bores, ourselves—a complaining bore. B. S.N. S. MOVIES. TILLIE. That Avas Mary Anne's best chum's name.Tillie was crazy over the movies. She had seen "The Lost Soul" for 24 consecutive Sunday evenings without missing a single installment. She had a framed picture of Douglass Reed over her bureau and a picture of Wallace Chaplin in her locket. She was secretly convinced that she was a great tragic actress. " I t makes me mad, she said to Mary Anne. "They scold us for going to the movies. They've got a machine an' an operator and everything up here. If they'd put on a few good films Ave'd all flock to see 'ein." •"'.•... They took Tillie's advice and sliOAA^ed "Our Mutual Friend." Tillie and Mary Anne heard about it and sniffed, "High brow! Not for us. They Avent to see "The Infernal Triangle," and afterAvards, "Why Willie Left Home." "Our Mutual Friend" Avas shown to a good many empty seats. It Avas a good play, too. Plenty of thrills, action, suspense, romance. And you Avouldn't come to see it. . Are Ave the four and one-half percent after all? Not AAdien Ave turn from the screen version of a masterpiece to the witnessing" of silly, unenduring trash. B. S. N. S. HAIL ANID FAREWELL f gt;0 AVE ONLY imagine it or is the sky really grayer and gloomier than it AA^as last Aveek. The campus certainly looks bleak and lonelA'. The halls are darker and chillier. Even this poor old paper looks bare and woe-begone. A good many of us tiptoe by Boom 216 with averted faces and a queer, catchy feeling in our throats; We look as if we had lost our best friend. Well, we have lost her—for six long months. Who Avas it that said, "Parting is such sAveet sorrow?" Whoever it was, he was all Avrong. All wrong. Since the announcement of Dr. Nash's coming resignation, no bloAv has fallen so heavily on the school as Miss Edens going aAvay. Everyone who loves her, and that means everj^one who'knows her, feels as if a vital part of the school AArere missing. The poor Messenger class, in particular, feels the solid earth caA*e in and the Avails begin to tumble doAvn. An infallible test for judging a teacher; ask the taught. And, in Miss Edens' case, Ave all answer in chorus, "She's our ideal; jolly and light-hearted, hard'working and sincere, frank and sympathetic. She is the best ever." Cheer up! She's coming back. That's some consolation. We'll be good Avhile you're away, Miss Edens. We'll forget all the slang Ave knoAV, eliminate " a i n ' t " and "he don't," and develop astounding vocabularies. Never more shall the split infinitive or that old sneak, the dangling participle, ruin our force and clearness. Not once shall "grim reaper" or "in our midst" profane these pages. Bon voyage! (Avhich is all the French AA^e know, and we hope it's all right.) Have a AAronderful time and enjoy your Avell earned rest to the fullest. You deserve it. But be sure to come back to Normal next September, just brimming OArer Avith energy and subjects for feature stories. A hearty AArelcome to our neAv Critic. We Avish her the best thing possible—that she be like Miss Olive Edens. On our OAAII this week. Like it? TO BE HELD TONIGHT Tonight at 7:15 the Seniors will congregate in the auditorium to enjoy a program of class talent, and a new year mixer. Among the numbers will be: stunts, songs, play of the entertainment and Hall's quartet, readings by Nell Henry, and "Bee" Dahlquist; dance numbers by Walton Biggerstaff. For muscially inclined students, Williams Normal Orchestra has promised to play several modern classic pieces. Then for the gymnasium, lots of new games, and ••splendiferous" excitement, followed by abundant refreshments. The committees are as follods: Games—Miss Mary Long, Marion Collier. Befgreshments—Mary Collins, Esther Windley, Ralph Miller. Social—Mary Wood, Margaret Spaight and Estill Cain. B. S. N. S. Porter (to Miss Edens): "It's getting late, ma'am. Don't you think it's time for you to retaliate?" r gt;. s. 1ST. S. Mr. Hunt: "What do you mean by) dairy products?" . Student: "Oh, milk, eggs, cottage chees and' other vegetables." A stirring address was delivered at last Wednesday's assembly by Professor E. J. Klemme, of our own faculty. Mr. Klemme is widely knoAvn throughout the state and everywhere that he is known he is regarded as a platform lecturer of the highest ability. Professor Klemme is a member of our Extension department and it is largely due (to his work in this field that the Bellingham State Normal has such a Avide and prominent reputation as ah institution of higher learning. Professor Klemme's message was on the theme "How Old Art Thou?" He dealt with his subject not as age is regarded as physical years, but from age in worth and experience. The students were one-hundred percent attentive to 'Mr. Klemme's remarks. At times the audience Avould be doubled up in laughter at his humor, which is of an exceedingly individual type, at other times they would be held, tense when some vital points were given to them. There were intervals during the address when if a pin should have been dropped on the assembly floor it Avould have been plainly audible. — B. S. N. S. Gossips are the spies of life.

Mr. Kolstad lias been doing much research work on this line for the last few years and he has yet found only enough material for a small pamphlet. As an example, Mr. Kolstad said his psychology instructor when she woke up in the morning and heard the whistles blow, would see a dark, pui'pleish streak flash across the draperies. She saw sounds, in other words. A famous French philosopher says the French vowels are to him colored. While speaking French the colors' of each vowel pass before him. Mr. Kolstad says they have on record the case of a young design teacher, whenever she ran out of designs she would attend either a syphonie concert or an opera. As she listened, the music would take different forms and designs. She would take these down as they came to her. Different types of music, of course, would furnish different types of designs. This is called Synaestesia, and it means simply this, the arousal of secondary sensation through primary sensation". The nerves from various sense organs are so close to each other that the vibrations of one are transformed over to stimulate others. B. S. N. S.

There are very few Normalites who do not know Sam, but the fact that he is going to play on the fat man's basketball team may help to identify him to those who are not numbered among his acquaintances. When interviewed by a Messenger reporter, Mr. Ford was very modest, and only after much persuassion divulged information concerning his past experiences. Mr. Ford graduated from Ellensburg high school in 1912, with high honors, not only in scholarship but in athletics, having been captain of both the football and basketball teams. He entered the pre-medical school of the State University in the fall of 1912, but was forced to withdraw on account of sickness. He earned his way while at the University ' by machine-shop and paper work. After leaving the Univer-servecl an apprenticeship in the Seattle- Astoria Machine Works, graduating in 1914. At this point in the interview Sam seemed to have forgotten ye scribe, was apparently oblivious of his immediate surroundings, and appeared lost in contemplation of his land of memories. He continued his story as follows: '•After leaving the Seattle-Astoria Machine Works. I spent several months on a trip through the Southern states earning my way as a boomer-machinist. Those were the good old days. In June of 1917 I entered the army aviation service at Seattle. In August of the same year I became an instructor of aviation, mechanics at dielly Field, San Antonio, Texas. I was finally put in charge of a hangar and took advantage of this by taking flights in the air." A chuckle escaped Sam as he continued, "I didn't like to eat the Kelly Field dust and on my own hook took leave of absence for none and one-half days in an attempt to get across the pond, where I could get a little mud. I was escorted back to Kelly Field from Pittsburg by two officers and introduced to a pick and shovel. Outside of this incident I was always a good fellow. I was discharged from the army in January, 1919. Shortly afterwards I made a trip to Alaska as engineer on one of the A. P. Fisheries boats." Mr. Ford has just recently accepted a position with the Herald and Reveille, which will take up his spare time hours.

Old Bill Jones had a kicking mule He couldn't cure. The gol-dern fule Would kick all night and kick all day; Hoist up his heels while eatin' hay. He'd "hee haw" like a demon's screech; He'd hit at ev'rythin' in reach; And when his eyes saw nothin' there, He'd kick away' at the empty air. But Bill is sure the wisest cuss: He didn't raise a nasty fuss, Ner trade the nmle ter an innercent. He knew what conservation meant. He fixed a harness, strong and tight,- Till that mule's heels was a wondrous sight, And then, with pulleys, belts and wheels, He utilized them wasteful heels. At every kick the wheels would turn; He pumped the water, ran the churn, Did the washin', sawed, the wood, Ground the feed and pround it good; Chawed the pigs to sausage meat; Baled the hay and threshed the wheat: Dug the ditches, laid the tile; Stretched the wire fence more'n a mile; Chopped the silage, shred the corn; Milked the cows both night and morn; Turned, the cattle out to graze; Dried the wash on stormy days; He ran a little dynamo, And, as his feet zipped to and fro, They stored the wily 'lectric juice In batteries for future use: So house and bam were lighted well, With current left enough to sell, Till no one need to go without, 'Who lived within ten miles about. In fact, Bill Jones grew rich and fat, Which isn't to be wondered at. He'd caught the secret of the hour, The harnessin' of wasted power. Some genius of inventive mind Should study hard and method find To muzzle, rope or tie the men Who wasted their force in kicking when PACIFIC LAUNDRY Blankets Cleaned, Carded and Made Like New.

The Nichols Hall girls are planning a party in honor of Mrs. Nicnols, next Saturday evening. Rubv Sunde spent the week-end in Seattle. Edith Linde and Gertrude Seniles spent the week-end at the home of the hitter's uncle, L. J. Senilis, at Laurel. Miking in a northeasterly for two and a half hours is rather chilly, say they. Carol Rahskopf was the dinner guest of Alic-e William, Friday evening. Ruth Church liked to throw snow balls. Last .week when the ground was covered with flakey white snow, the temptation to throw just a tiny snow-bail at her chum was too great to be overcome. Ruth threw the snowball. That snowball did the meanest thing! instead of hitting the chum it flew straight to Ruth's supervisor. That is why we put "like" in the past tense. Helen Alhnan and Fay McKiddy packed up and boarded the train for Auburn and home last Friday. They had a "dandy" time. We are informed by two Home Economics girls that Mr. Kibbe did a heroic deed last Friday. The girls say that he attended the luncheon they gave.

Last Saturday—sometime between 12 and 1 o'clock, Mr. Rahskopf found himself in a sad predicament. All said morning lie had been listening to the eloquent orations of the champion debaters. Of course he was intensely interested, but when the gt;eloek indicates lunch time, on's mind is apt to turn to thoughts of sandwiches and pickies. Mr. Kahskopf's did. lie thrust his hand into his pockets, while pictures of delectable luncheons danced before his eyes. But the pictures vanished when his repeated searches were rewarded with only five coppers. The sad truth must be faced. He had forgotten his purse. Meanwhile the remaining debaters were playing the parts of good fairies. They flew downstairs and when they ..•ame back they were carrying a queer looking bundie. When Mr. Rahskopf returned to his office, wearing a look of resignation, he found the dcl.aters busily studying their respective speeches and then looking at his desk he saw a bottle of milk, decorated with a how of green ribbon, standing beside a box containing—well, we will leave the rest to your hungry imaginations. Suffice it to say that good fairies know that even Normal professors enjoy feeds of peanuts and doughnuts and'apples and sandwiches. ALKISIAH CLUB. February 2, 1022, the members of the Alkisiah club enjoved a verv delightful program, after which a dainty and well planned luncheon was served by Reta Card, Marjorie Dueber and Johanna Miller. The program was as follows: Music By the Club Debate, Resolved, that the policy pursued by the United States in the Philippines is the best policy that could have been pursued. Negative. Affirmative Marie Tinker Marjorie Dueber Dorothy Zinzer Edith McCall Music Club Story. Philippine Setting Reta Gard Ue.-ent Current Events Julia Murray Club Songs Club ALITHEA CLUB. An interesting meting of the Alethia club was held Thursday, January 2G. The first part of the evening was taken up with the election of oficers, as follows: President—Frances Still. Vice President—Mildred Dawkins. Secretary—(«ladys 01so?i. Treasurer—'Edna Carnine. Sergeant at Arms—Ruth Oitchell. Club Critic—Brigitta Karkkonen. Club Reporter—Martha Anderson. Later in the evening a very fine program was enjoyed: Book Review Ruth Gitchell Legend of William Tell Brigitta Kankkonen Travels in Switzerland Mildred Dawkins GIVES MUSICAL TREAT A musical treat was given to the Normal students at last Monday's assembly. Charles Wakefield Cadmen, one of the leading coiu.posers and pianists in the world, gave a short lecture coupled with three numbers on the piano. Harrison Raymond, our local well-known voice instructor, added to the worth of the program, by singing three songs to Mr. Cadmen's accompaniment. On the Friday evening previous Mr. Cadmen gave a concert at the Metropolitan opera house in Seattle. He is an artist of absolutely the first rank. His appearance at the Normal was somewhat of an accident. He was visiting at the home of Henry P. Jukes for a short time. Mrs. Spratley of our music department, invited him to give a program- at the Normal and he accepted. Mr." Cadnuii has contributed much to the musical world as a composer. In his study of music he has especially emphasized the field of Indian Music. He is perhaps the greatest authority in that line today. In opening his program. Mr. Cadmen gave the following: 1. Pompadour's Fan. 2. Love Song (by himself). 3. Wolf Dance (based on a Blackfoot Indian melody). The Musician followed these splendid numbers with an illuminating talk on the subject of Indian music. He declared that tlie study of Indian music began but thirty-five'years ago. Contrary to a general opinion, Indian music has a distinct value to composers. Forty per cent of all the material gathered by musical investigators from the Indians possesses interest and value for composers. Mr. Ca;!maii had with him several -urioiis Indian instruments, among them the fiagolet. On this popular instrument he played four short numbers. The tones which he produced were particularly mellow and fascinating. It is interesting to know that Indian children have proven more precocious musical students than white children. Concluding the program, Mr. Harrison Raymond sang the following delightful numbers: 1. I Hear a Thrush at Eve. 2. From the Land of Sky-Blue Water. 3. At Dawn. B. s. N. S. HOW TO DETERMINE HYPNOTIC SUBJECTS In hypnotism one should always make a test to find out if the person is susceptible to hypnotism. There are, of course, certain types of persons that under no circumstances can be hypnotised. We make this test as soon as the person comes on the stage, look him straight in the eyes and say slowly and distinctly. "You are falling backwards." If the person so much as waves he is susceptible. Now suggest a thought to him. If he does not respond, repeat with emphasis. If he can In- hypnotised he will take up the suggestion and will be in your power. You now can suggest anything and he wiil respond. The key to hypnotism is the power of suggestion. To remove the thought or suggestion, a snap of the fingers will remove your power. He loses your suggestion and he will immediately return to normal. B. S. N. S. First Student: "Mr. Kolstad can put people in trances." Second Student: "Don't I know it?

It is called Early American Imprints. These books were all printed between the years 1770 and 1830, and it is due to a sale held by a large eastern firm that it was possible to acquire these very valuable books. The printing and working of these books are peculiar to the extreme, for instance a girl is always alluded to as a "damsel" or a "pious female." : This set includes works in the following: novels, poetry, journals, catchecisms, essays, dictionaries of various vocations and several different editions'of the New Testament. From an educational standpoint, these books are especially useful, both from a literary and historical view. They trace very thoroughly the growth and formation of America's great part in literature. Many critics maintain that America had no distinct literary achievements of her own, but if these same _ critics would thoroughly investigate this one set of books they would be convinced otherwise. Every student in school who is interested in what America has done in a literary way, should not fail to investigate this set of books. B. S. N. S. SENIOR MIXER. What ho! Ye Seniors, great and small!

A torn sail snapped and cracked like a "young cannon." He opened his eyes wide and sat up in bed, reaching for his watch, which was in his coat pocket at the foot of his bunk. It was 11:45 o'clock. He was to go on watch at 12, midnight, and watch the Chinese quarters until 4 a .m. The foc'le door slid back, and a tall, bulky figure entered. The man walked up to Johnny's bunk, looking down smilingly. "Come, kid," he said. "It's time for you to go on watch and its a merry time I aim thinking you are going to have, too. You better take my oil skin for its raining and blowing to beat blue blazes. Can you shoot?" Johnny told him that he could. "Just peel your eyes along this." He pulled a forty-four automatic from his hip pocket. "If any of them Chinks or Mexicans get canary—well, don't hesitate to make them acquainted with a little hot lead. A flock of hungry gungs are following the ship, and they are crying to beat Hades, and a little fresh Chink of Mex- ' ican meat wouldn't hurt their craws any." He removed his dripping oil skins, and laid the automatic on the bunk. "I am goinff to the galley and wet inv whistle with a hot wash of coffee, then maybe I'll get in a little poker game, a pooch of a fine game is on down in the fishermen's quarters. Six •hundred in silver was on the table till the ship began rolling, and it had to be removed. Bv holy Mount Pavlof! If one of them fishermen hasn't four twenty-dollar gold pieces, and where he o-ot them, I ' l r b e cow-kicked if I can tell. But I said to myself, "Gold, why tempt old Swede Carlson? I'll jingle those four twenties in my pocket before we hit Unimak Pass. Eh, kid ?" Johnny had gotten out of the bunk, but was having a hard time dressing, because the ship rolled so hard. He hung onto the bunk with one hand and pulled on his shirt and trousers with the other. It amused Swede Carlson hugely to see Johnny stagger about. "Were you ever at sea before, kid?" Johnny told him that he had been to sea once before. "Once, vou say. Well you will get your sea-legs in a day or two. I am going now and if anything should happen— well, shoot, see? But if you are afraid to play Avith that little toy aiitp-matic. you just yell down in the fishermen's quarters, and old Swede Carlson will come and show you how to mix things in the hell-hole." Johnny noticed Swede Carlson's mammoth chest and muscles, which reminded him of Jack London's "Sea Wolf." Johnny asked Swede Carlson if this was his first trip North. Swede Carlson lit a cigarette, looked at Johnny and laughed. "Hell, kid! I am so well known on Bering Sea that the fish call me by my first name. You have just three minutes before you go on watch, so I am going to tell you a little story. "This makes—" they both fell against the bunk when the ship plunged suddenly—" as I was going to say, this makes my fourteenth trip North. I have been through Unimak Pass twenty-six times. The least I made in one season was $12. Last season I made $2,000. I had that much when I hit Seattle last September. Well, I have only twenty dollars left. That is the way it goes, kid. The more a fellow makes the . 711 ore lie spends. These darn cannery men don't care for a fisherman. The first season, I and my pardner were capsized in a storm. My partner was drowned, and I went for three days without anything to eat, before I was picked up. In a blow last year, me and my pardner got too close to a sand-bar near the mouth of the Nushagak river, and the boat capsized. I escaped again, but my partner washed away with . a giant., breaker. When I reached the cannery, the first thing the superintendent asked me was, 'Where is the boat ?'" . The door slid back and a sailor nodded to Swede Carlson'. A tremendous roar of wind, flappnig sails, and a wild sea spewing and simmering like boiling water, came from outside. Johnny hurriedly stuck the automatic in his pocket, slipped on the oil skins and boots, and followed Swede Carlson out on deck. Swede Carlson and Kay the sailor went into the galley, and slid the door. A streak of yellow gleamed through a crack of the galley door. Johnny was left alone on deck. It was black dark, and the giant waves boiled up and Avashed over the decks. Ghostly figures crept around the masts and by the railing. Aloft in the rigging,, the two and three steel cables hummed and sang like a trunk phone line. With the aid-of a small flashlight, he found his way along the slippery decks to the Chinese . quarters. He crawled through a narrow door, and started to descend the steep steps. On each side of the steps ropes had been stretched. Johnny hung onto the ropes and entered the Hell-hole. The poker game was still on, the players hung onto the stationary table and dealt the cards between the plunges of teh ship. On deck the air was pure, with a tinge of salt, but here in the Hell-hole a sour, stale smell, which made him sick at his stomach, hit his nostrils. He walked doAvn the narrow aisles between the bunks as quickly as possible. In every bunk,, a Chinaman or a Mexican rolled with the ship's motion. Most of them were smoking long pipes, probably opium. In one corner, to themselves," eight or ten Hawaiians had taken bunks. They were still setting up, half naked. Three of them were playing string instruments and sweet sounds of Aloha filled the Hellhole. Johnny passed the gambling table again on the way out, and was invited to "get in."' He didn't tell them but he knew that he did not know the first rules of the game. .Amid much tobacco smoke and jabbering he left them, and went on deck. The wind was gaining force, and the waves leaped above the ship, pouring their frosty tops across the decks. T-wise he fell when the ship tipped so the deck came up to meet him. His face was dripping salt water when he entered the fo'/le. He sat down on the edge of his bunk. His brain throbbed and a feeling of being terribly far away haunted him. Victor, his chum, slept in a double bunk in the corner across from him. Victor had hung a red curtain in front of his bunk and Johnny could see the light still burned above his pillow. Terrible thoughts flashed through his mind, what if the ship should sink? He asked himself over and over. His teeth chattered, and he wanted to do something, but what could he do? He walked over to Victor's bunk, and lifted the curtain. Victor lav very quietly, sleeping. The roll of the ship did not disturb him and the expression of adventure which had been on.his face ever since they sailed from Seattle, had turned into a half-smilc. Victor's white sweater with the vellow letter, his college colors, hung on a nail over his bunk. "What a contrast!" Johnny thought. Down in the Hell-hole were the rakings of the underworld of San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle, but here was a young American, a college boy, the type that the American nation depends upon for the future. tie turned the light out and went on deck again. Some of the sails had been lowered, and broken cables swished across the deck. He was caught by one and thrown for ten feet, up against the railing. His arm and side ached, but he crawled through the narrow door again, B H 5 S 5 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 3 a H2B2S3HH2HaHHSHHaSlHHHaHHHBa "ALL NORMAL STUDENTS SATURDAY NIGHT" CECIL B.

The poker game was over, and everyone was in bed. The lights still burned, and a half-dozen pop bottles rolled around under the bunks. Tobadeo cans and rubbish slid around with the motion of the ship. The timbers of the ship cracked and moaned until Johnny expected the next breaker to tear the ship to pieces. On his way back to the foc'le .be peeped down into the fishermen's quarters. The game was still on and Swede Carlson and Kay, the sailor, were still on "the trail of the four twenties." It was his last round, when he came out of the Hell-hole deathly sick. His head ached, and his stomach hurt. He went as near the railing as possible and "fed the fish." At least sea-sickness had overcome him. Back aft, he heard the Captain swearing, he heard him say that the ship was six hundred miles from shore and one hundred miles out of her course. Away off to the east a streak of light showed. It was a pale, pale light, which gradually grew brighter,' seeming to come in little jets, with slight and sudden shocks. It made the heavens look as if they were being illuminated like a transparency, and as if lamps with flames were being raised. Little by little, behind the shapeless gray clouds, carefully raised with mysterious caution for fear of disturbing the mournful turmoil of the sea. Johnny awoke the relief watch and entered the foc'le. Victor was awake, and looked at him and smiled. "Isn't this great, this roll I mean. I can sleep just dandy." He asked Johnny what made him look so white around the "gills," but Johnny did not tell him. He rolled into his hunk with his face to the wall. His heart seemed big and swollen. He went to sleep mumbling Vic-Vic-Vic. -^-George Kermit Stephens. On Unintentional Descent. Oh, many's the ups succeeding the downs, For the slick sidewalks shimmer with sleet.

Remedial Meet Big Success The conference on the Education of Exceptional Children, which was held here last Thursday and Friday, July 6 and 7, was well attended by college students and educators, from off the campus. The conference was sponsored by the state department in cooperation with the college. Those who attended report that it was all very interesting and decidedly worth-while. At 10 o'clock on the first day, President Haggard gave the address of welcome, followed by the singing of the National anthem, led by Don Bushell., Miss Emma Erickson gave a" brief overview of the conference. Mr. E. L. Lindman of the state department told of the individual differences in children. Mrs. Beryl Bruff of Lowell School accepted the challenge for the schools of the state of Washington. Then followed a symposium on special service agencies and departments which are ready to help the schools: Mr. W. H. Dutton gave a summary of the morning session.

''"'" " Much Needed Staff Directory Board Under Construction Do you know where to find the office of your history teacher? If a visitor asked you, could you direct him to librarian's office or the office of the janitor? Nearly every student on the campus has at one time been in this embarrassing predicament, where he cannot locate a particular faculty member. For the past three years plans have been projected for a guide which would solve the problem. Though none of these plans ma- , terialized, a start on a "directory was made this spring by Lorna Jean Booras and Marilyn Anderson, WW Collegian staff members. This summer another staf member, Pat Bellingharn, is working on this catalogue of offices. Upon completion, the directory, which will be of wood construction, will carry the names and office numbers of ail faculty and administrative assistants, listed alphabetically, under department "headings.

With no more warning than an almost inaudible swish, a portion of Mt. Baker swooped down upon an unexpecting party of young collegiate hikers. When the slide had completed its mission of death, a count of the party revealed that six of its members were missing. JULIUS DORNBLUT, ALICE JAMES, MAYNARD HOWATT, HOPE WEIT- .MAN, VENE FISHER, and BEULAH LINDBERG did not answer roll call which was sounded off .by hike leaders, ,L. A. McGee, Chet Ullin and Don Cross. They were dead. Death is a five letter word that means a lot. Not only does it mean just dying, but what after that. Those six young people, climbing Mt. Baker, full of happy thoughts, didn't want to die, but that's the way death is. You never know. That's why out of due respect and in memory of those people, we, who are still alive, should think more about the meaning of the word. Maybe it's just fear that doesn't let us think too strongly on the subject. If it is fear that does it, let it be so. For it is not a fear that deprives one of the use of his reason, but rather o fear that clarifies the atmosphere of the mind and sharpens the powers of reason itself. It is not fear that causes the mind to be "sicklied" with the pale cast of thought, but rather the mind that has become sluggish through unrestrained passion, the mind of the person that adopts the philosophy of eat, drink and be merry, but without the thought that tomorrow one may die. He is satisfied to know that he is alive and well. He rarely reflects on why he is at all or on what is the An architect's plans of a Memorial for those students who lost their lives on the slopes of Mt. Baker five years ago are now almost completely fulfilled. Situated on the hillside between Edens Halland the administrative building on the Campus, this memorial lacks only the addition of mountain shrubbery and the bronze name plates. Name placques for the six students will be placed on the inside of the rock wall which has been so designed as4o form a bench. Bronze, which will be used'for the plates will not be purchased until after the war. The memorial has been planned with the thought that students will use the memorial as a place for lounging, sun bathing, or studying.

A memorial has been erected to commemorate the occasion of their deaths. Whenever you pass that memorial, today and any other day, but today especially, just mutter a prayer for the six students, whose names will be placed on separate plaques as soon as the war ceases.

Dr. Grim conducted a tour of the whole Campus Elementary School Building before luncheon.l The afternoon session was a Workshop in the Problems of Hearing and a Workshop in the Problems of Speech. The conference was adjourned at 5 o'clock. Tragic Outing Remembered Today is the fifth anniversary of the Mt. Baker tragedy, which killed six former members of the student body during a summer quarter hike up the steep slopes of the mountain. The accident occurred on a Sunday morning in the month of July, The party of 25 WWC students were trudging their way along beneath the Roman Wall on the last stage of the hike. Six of the party were swept to their death with only two bodies being recovered. As it gathered up momentum the avalanche gave no quarter and swallowed all twenty-five members of the group. Early reports had it that the six victims were in a group when struck were discounted by stories of the survivors, who told of the almost selecting nature of the disaster. The body of Alice James, then president of Edens Hall, was located at the foot of a forty-foot icy overhang, while the body of former Collegian editor, Julius Dornblut was discovered in a crevasse some hundred feet beyond the cliff of ice.

"I have been in several bombing raids and it is ' a very helpless feeling. The best thing to do is hit the foxhole and stay down. The Japanese are in for a lot of trouble in the next few months. As the news indicates we are doing all right out here. It is impossible to defeat an outfit like the United States Armed Forces. We have something to fight for and the enemy lacks that one factor.' Jim's address is First Lieutenant James Junkin, USMCR, Hdq. Co. 3rd Bn., 1st. Mar., Fleet Post Office, San Francisco, California. Lt. Alan Ross of the USNR and formerly the eighth grade teacher in the Campus School writes us that he misses our/cool Puget Sound weather. Lt. Ross is stationed in Arlington, Virginia. In his letter Lt. Ross says "My work will be in Washington for a few months. The officers in my outfit rotate between field and office work. We use men who have been out in the fleet for editing and processing work since they know the situation.. Two of our analysts just returned from participation in the invasion. Obsevations such as theirs are extremely valuable in shaping a practical and effective training program." Second Lt. Ray E. Fullner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Fullner, Lawrence, RFD 2, Everson, has been ^awarded the air medal and Oak Leaf Cluster for his participation in the aerial offensive against the Japanese in the Central Pacific.

Ex-Collegian Editor Visits Old Haunts Sandy-haired, scholarly Barney Chichester, 1928-29 Collegian editor (it was known as the Northwest Viking then) paid a visit to his former haunts last week, noting a number of changes about the building. "At the time 1 went to school the Viking office was located in the science wing," he mused. Admiring the new Collegian headquarters, Barney commented on the special office for the Klipsun and Navigator. His eyes lit up as he reminisced about the Bluebook, the name of the student guide book in the 20's. "One*year," he recalled, "I obtained permission from the board of control to print a. directory of student names, addresses and telephone numbers. -As I remember, I had to drop this undertaking business because I was earning too much money," ~ Barney is at: present principal of the Hawthorne School and supervisor of the Youth Centers of Seattle Public Schools.

Remedial Courses Headed by Catey Joining the faculty of WWC last fall as an instructor in Remedial Education, Mrs. Waneta S. Catey divides her time at WWC working with the teachers and student teachers in the city, as well as with college classes. WWC has extended the program courses for the teacher who wishes to be certified as a remedial instructor since last fall. Mrs. Catey previously was associated with the Illinois State Normal University, at Normal, Illinois. A graduate of the Colorado College of Education, she is especially trained in the teaching of exceptional children. To the remedial teacher, an exceptional child is one who "deviates from the average or so-called normal child in mental, physical, emotional or social characteristics and abilities to the degree that they .require specialized care or instruc-. tion in order to attain the maximum of their abilities or capacities." more red cross (Continued from Page One) entertain or be usable by men who are gt; convalescing in army and navy hospitals.

Berg Acquits Himself With Glory. S Returns to Bellingham After Delightful Vacation in the South. Campus Day, on its second annual occurrence, was by all odds the £• most successful event of the school year. The spirit of the students was ?;• excellent, and co-operation between everyone produced a "spick and A span*' Campus. The program of fun beginning with the eight o'clock 5 assembly and lasting through the theater part at the American, was ; -packed with enjoyment for all. | ;; Festivities began with the assembly at 8:00, when the hit of the day ; was made, namely the burlesque given by "Six Glowing Boys", featur- ; i n g the prettiest sets of legs among the male gender. The staff, under ^Generalissimo Berg, was introduced among, various flourishes. After ••general instructions the army was properly equipped and turned loose on the waste arid debris. The picnic' at noon was a caloric as well as a palatable success. Full justice was done all "grub". ; "/ Another assembly at one o'clock : : set everyone for the afternoon -y.'; sports. These took place on Wal- -; do Field and were a "riot" of fun g for all. The ball games between ;; students and faculty for both men and women aroused deep hostilities and the bloody battles were Hard fought, fast and furious. An excellent program of sports contests under the direction of Dorothy Irvin and Miss Keller kept everyone happy all afternoon. Feature attractions included the stupendous bicycle race between faculty members, Mr. Bond proving the betting favorite. Ben Hur's only rivals and equals set the crowd positively "mad" with the daring, killing, and side-splitting Chariot Race. What might be called a Relay Carnival was staged by competing groups of the students, it was at least composed largely of relay .contests and games The winners, although of doubtful ability and deservance, were awarded balloons with squawkers that certainly squawked. An evening with Reginald Denny and various varieties of student foolishness provided the grand climax at the American Theater. Romeo and Juliet heart-rendingly re-enacted the fetching balcony scene and brought the house into tears, tiers upon tiers of laughter. The embryo tragedians were great stuff, as comedians. There were various sundry and "Sundstrom" rumors that Campus Day officially at least, began during the wee small hours of the night before. Both class presidents were able to be about on Campus Day, so it has been assumed that no serious casualties were entailed. BERG REFEREES Mr. TJerg was referee of a Boy Scout encampment at Woodland Park in Seattle the past week-end. Demonstration of a complete camp.equipment was given. On Saturday, the boys participated in a Field Day. Two thousand scouts attended the meet. E E AREJNNOUNCED Successful Contestants Will Meet Last Quarter's Winners Assembly May 20. M OFFERED Course Will Be Supplemented by Field Trips to Places for Good Composition. Miss Crawford Now Recovering From Illness in Sanitarium Pupils and teachers in the training school were very glad to see Miss Crawford back last week after an absence of several weeks. She found however, that she was not strong enough yet to take over her old duties, so is now recuperating in Rest Haven Sanitarium, Sj'dney, B. 0. Mrs. Whitmore is taking Miss Crawford's place for the rest of this quarter. o Miss Edens Has Written Another Successful Story . Miss Edens is the author of a story, "Heart and Hand," appearing f in the June McCall's Magazine. Reviewing the contents of the current ; issue, the publishers comment as foll o w s : ; ; " I n addition to short stories by :; such well-known authors as Fannie ;rHea!slip Lea, Frank E. Vemey, Vir- Sginia B. Reynolds, and Olive "Edens," jthe June issue will contain (etc)." ; lt; ;"Heart and Hand" is a story of v-theiWest, in fact, it centers in Ana- 'cortes, on Puget Sound. Miss Edens oJsaid: "Every story "which I have 8^;5,K ?«: sold has as its background the Puget |fgf| ;3p^Sound region. 'Rhododendrons,' a ^ ^ | | l | s t o r y of the Cypress Islands, has re- ^ ^ ® ^ c e n t l y ; been accepted by a syndicate." ^ ^ g l p ^ ^ ^ t r o p o l i t a n , .Pictorial .Review,;' and Miss Rich returned Monday morning from a delightful vacation in California. She says that is was pleasant from a recreational and a professional point of view. She met a number of friends with whom she had worked at the School of Education, University of Chicago, who are now on the faculty of the U. of California at Berkeley. She attended the Mission play with them, at San Gabriel. ' There were friends and interesting experiences at every stop. Miss Rich visited the appointment bureaus at the University of California, at Los Angeles, and Stanford, gathering ideas which will tend toward making the work of the bureau here of greatest use to the students. Miss Rich says that California is a delightful place to play in, but she would rather work in Bellingham. She has come back convinced that we have something to do here, and that what we are tiying to do follows the best lines of philosophy and science of education. The course in photography, which was given for the first time last summer, will be offered again this summer quarter. The course is a two period a week laboratory course designed mainly for the study of photography from the standpoint of the amateur and will take in all phases of photographic work. Two credits will be given for the course. The fee will be about one dollar and a quarter which will cover the cost of material used. Mr. Ruckmick plans to divide the class into groups and each group will work out a certain phase of work in the photographic line which will be amplified by supplementary reading material. There will be a few field trips to places which will be good composition for landscape photography. All of the possibilities of the surrounding district that will lend themselves to amateur photography .will be- used. The training school shop has been equipped with a new enlarging machine, also a new automatic printer. Students will get experience in making enlargements and a few lessons on the way in which the printing of photographs is accomplished. They will also study the making of sepia-tones on photographs and the use and compounding of developing solutions such. as might be done at home by amateurs. The victors in extempore preliminaries held Tuesday evening, were as folloAvs: June Wetherell, Grace Jac-obson, Borghild Jensen, August Zoet, Edward Dingerson, and Leonard Kep-pler. Their topics were: "The Nation's Chief Asset," "The Nation's First Citizen," "The Greatest Living American." Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Ullin, Miss Spieseke, Mr. iKibbe, and Miss Madden judged the contest. The six speakers will compete in today's assembly. Three topics will be conservative; three radical. From this group, three will be eliminated, and three will compete with the winners of last quarter's extempore contest in assembly, May 20. NOTICE—RECITAL Miss Byrd Elliott, violinist; Miss May Taylor, contralto; will appear in recital at the Garden St. M. E. church on Tuesday evening, May 24, 8:15 o'clock.

Beethoven's well-known Moonlight Sonata was delivered in a most artistic manner displaying exquisite harmony, modulation, masterfulenss and vivaciousness in swift movements. Mi-. Perine's selections of the extreme classical type were presented with all the powerfulness or softness with which they were written. Especially was Debussy's Prelude filled with an enchanting and artistic melodiousness. The Etude of St. Saen was also interpreted in an intriguing spirit. o ; "U" JOURNALISTS EDIT SEATLE STAR A DAY :ww-v-vvvv.vvvvv%vv«v (Monitor The Journalism, class at the University of Washington stepped out of their class last week and edited the Saturday editions of the Seattle Star.

A charming outdoor play, which was worked out by the children in the fourth and fifth grades, was given on the far side of the knoll at nine o'clock this morning. The play, called "Forest Wonders", was taken from the Italian folk play, "Forest Spring/ 'by Constance D'Arcy Mackay. In the action of the play the children picked out the poems, songs and dances which they had enjoyed and which fitted best with the scenes in the forest, with the trees, grasses, birds, flowers, mountains and moon. The dances were tation exercises that they have had had in their gymnasium work. The play opens with the entrance of three children who have come to the forest to gather flowers. Two of them go on, but the other stays and sees the wonders of the forest. The complete program is as follows: Enter; Amata, Giovanni, Fiam-ma,- gathering flowers. Enter, the Spirit of the Wood.

This special number is published not so much for the Normal students as it is for high school seniors throughout the Northwest who might be interested in coming here. M a r y Hibner, special supplement editor,.deserves much praise for Ker efforts in making this y e a r ' s issue a success.

This .condition, if present in all schools of higher alarming one, and education, is an a complete diagnosis of our curriculum should be made with the view of adopting corrective measures. "Time to kill but not one minute for current problems" could very well be applied to a majority of the students of this and other schools. There is time for loafing in t h e halls, t h e r e are spare minutes for horseshoes or tennis, there is ample time for strolls here and there, but there i s not a minute t o give toward intelligent citizenship. Descendents of Ichabod Crane fail dismally when they endeavor to dis? cuss political and industrial problems on a common level with the business and professional man. We claim' t h a t teaching is a profession, but, down deep in our hearts, we know t h a t very few of us undergo the preparation that warrants the t e rm applied to our chosen work. Indeed, we like the word profession and use it cjuite freely, although conscious all the time t h a t we are falling short in our preparation. There is no time like the present t o get started in this matter of keeping abreast of the times. Magazines and papers are crying for your patronage. The Presidential campaign will soon be in full swing. Thousands of coal miners out of work, on strike, are pushing their cause through the periodicals. Delicate foreign affairs in China, Nicaragua, and Mexico are thrashed out in the papers.

I n "Elmer Gantry," Sinclair Lewis has again driven his probing pen int o one of society's sore spots. He has snatched the mantle of traditional spiritual authority and omniscience from the shoulders of the conventional American divine and" vivisected the decidedly human being t h a t it shrouded. He shows us the other side of the stage and the strings t h a t move the puppets. Lewis is a realist, and is apt to be a bit indigestible to one who suddenly forsakes his diet of Zane Grey, Cm wood, Pollyanna piffle or Elinor Glynish sob-stuff, perhaps and probably more than a little irritating. But despite this, Lewis is well worth the effort it may require to read him: "Elmer Gantry" contains food for some very pertinent thinking. fWWVWWWWWVWWVWWWWWWVW Student Opinion VVV^tfVVVVtf^LW^AVy%V^%SVVVLV%V^flA%VW'.Vl^AV^A^A/ f w P Notebooks and Outlines ;fP; •; - : "Oh, Hello there!

What is a carnival except a crass explanation? Granted t h a t it has a certain a t t r a c t i o n by its very novelty. But, aside from this its compensations are few and small. Its tents and side shows are grotesque and barbaric. And, where is the romance of doubtful hot clogs and a hundred vile stenches? But it draws its quota of pleasure seekers, who eagerly catch at a few crumbs of artificial bliss. After all is said and done, isn't this just one more drug t h a t serves to keep the illusion of life from crumbling? I n a satirical article in the May munber of the American Mercury, a Mr. Gillespie deplores the fact that colleges confer degrees in subjects t h a t really are so much ballast. He says t h a t the Bellingham Parish Junior High School is offering a course in the a r t of automobile dodging. We wonder what Mr. Gillespie would t h i n k on hearing Gunnar Berg's lament that no Doctor Degrees follow Boy Scout training. An editorial of last week takes space with the subject of "petting." "To pet or not to pet," t h a t is their question. Is this a question? Aside from promiscuity, can it not rather be termed a biological necessity? If you would be proper and understood, don't call it petting, or m u g g i n g - call it love! Friends are people Avhose peculiarities are identical with your own. After all, the human race is p r e t ty good considering what it came up from. Perhaps the greatest discovery of 1927 is t h a t angels have no business except in heaven. ^JjMi^ti-]^^^ mere ^Im^i^i^ta^ijiii^eA fftftilfft students ^ m s s a "" ••••-••-• •- - are interested in any subject they'll t a k e notes of their own accord and will outline any number of pages. If t h e instructors aren't original enough t o think up new subjects for notebooks and books t o outline why must t h e students waste valuable time in t r y i n g t o collect material for a notebook when some one else already has t h e material compiled and ready for use? Why should students have to make detailed outlines on subjects when these outlines may be purchased very cheaply and are more complete? This business of outlining and of making notebooks should be done done away with and the students should .have the right t o decide what subjects they wish to make notebooks on and outlines for. If this could be practiced for awhile we'd .find out what we really want t o keep for future reference and our school life wouldn't be one grand rush from morning until night, trying to get a number of chapters copied for a certain class or in compiling a notebook t h a t has t o have so much and •no more in it t o please some teacher. — —-o— Many students were very much disgusted with the article t h a t appeared on our editorial page last week. The subject of p e t t i n g is not discussed in the higher class college papers any more as it has been discussed pro and con for years and people will not change their opinions on t h e matter no matter how much is said either for or against. Why should such a cheap article be given as much space, and space on t h e editorial page a t t h a t , when there are so many things to write about t h a t are of interest to the students as a whole? : Just such an article, with almost identical wording ; w i l l be foundSin any cheap magazine t h at a s ;Iow T ^ jt-ft ft gt;: Ourft iNorinai;;--:?

Today is the first day of the Fifth annual meeting of the tree Normal teams in track, baseball and tennis. I t is the custom of the schools to be hosts to the other's teams every third year so it now comes the Viking's turn to extend the welcoming hand to Cheney and Ellensburg. The .first annual meeting was held in 1923 at Ellensburg, with the Vikings coming out as victors in track.

"ZEKE" IGNITES FUSE Don Patterson, curve ball artist, set the Wild Cats down Saturday morning S-2. Don's slants and hooks were way too good for the batsmen who faced him. Nine putouts were accredited via the strike-out route. "Zeke" McClurken, classy third baseman, started the fireworks in the third inning with a single, Stick - ney sacrificed him to second, and he scored on a double by Odell. The Vikings were hitting Mr. Haker, opposing pitcher, hard, but his support tightened at the crucical moment to save him trouble in the first part of the game. A base on balls, two stolen bases, and two singles counted for two more runs in the fifth. In the meantime the best that Ellensburg could do was to get thre hits off the stingy Patterson in six innings. The eighth and ninth innings proved disastrous for the Wild Cats. Cooper singled and Wingard hit his second home run in as many days, to score him. " In the' ninth inning "Zeke" caught hold of a fast one and poked the ball into the next lot for a home run, scoring two runs ahead of him. Jack Connars, fast outfielder for the opponents, hit a home run to count for Ellensburg's two tallies.

EDDIE HURLS FAST BALL Eighh Inning Wingard Hits Homer Odell Follows Example in Ninth Inning With Eddie Wingard on the hilltop pitching wonderful ball and receiving wonderful support, the Vikings triumphed over 'the Ellensburg Wildcats last Friday afternoon 5-4 in 10 innings. Ed had his fast ball hopping all ways ^averaging a strikeout an inning. In the third inning "Zeke" McClurken doubled to left, stole third, and went home on a wild pitch, for the first score. In the next inning Ellensburg started the fireworks with a single. The next man up sacrificed. A fielder's choice and an argument scored two runs for the Wildcats. In the next inning a double and an error scored for Bellingham to even the count. In the eighth Wingard put one outside the park for a home run and Odell repeated in the next inning for two more tallies. In the last half of the ninth the first Wildcat man up walked, Rubles, the next man up, and at the most inopportune time, hit the first pitched ball over the left field fence for a home run and tied the score. Thor's descendants seemed a little-peeved over the way they had been treated and proceeded to gather a couple of bingles and a walk in the next frame, scoring one run to win the game.

'•; '"But look at the rust!" exclaimed one Philo, who insisted on sticking yfco mores and pointed sticks for roasting weenies. "JTice, red-brown rust," replied Mr. Ruckmick, stroking the now hot-dog's side fondly. "HaveVyou had your iron today ?" To say they appreciated the meal is putting it very mildly, even if tea-hounds like Emmeline Moss and Sverre Arestad did insist on that beverage in place of coffee. Who wouldn't eat, after an exciting baseball game between Beighle's team and Ruckmick's, not to mention a treasure hunt, in which Maurice Thompson captured the. box of all-day suckers, which were all promptly seized by the infuriated mob at his heels. Mr. Ruckmick almost tossed Phil Sisk into Lake Samish, after the bold young gentleman had besmeared Vera Ginnette's face with charcoal till she looked like a minstrel show. A free-for-all charcoal fight then ensued, after which they visited the lake and rubbed each others faces vigorously with wet handkerchiefs. Thelma Butler and Vera Ginnette are ready to testify to the warmth of the lake waters, having done the noble deed of dipping for a real swim, while the would-be-sharpshooters among the fairer sex pointed away carefully at a Mississippi Relief fund badge with Alice Ling-ley's rifle. Planned or not, singing around a campfire inevitably happens at any picnic. The variety of songs was astounding, extending from the old favorite of "John Brown's Body" to the latest song hits. All that any Philo could add would be to say—"it was a darn good picnic," and "thanks" to Sverre Arestad, who ran.his trusty automobile out and in on so many trips, and insured transportation to most df the club members.

W. C. A. meeting, last Wednesday. When the foreigners, as all English and Americans are called, received word that the soldiers were coming, the women and children were put on the American and British gunboats. While they were on these boats it was necessary for them to fire into' the city to protect the American consular party, whose home was surrounded. While this was going on the party, consisting of twenty-two foreigners, fled over the wall. When the Southern soldiers had driven out the Northerners the missionaries hoped to be able to return to the city but intead of helping, as they hoped, the soldiers began looting their homes. They took out everything, including the windows and doors. After the soldiers had taken what they wanted they forced the mob to come and finish devastating the homes. The people of the city were kind to the foreigners and helped them as much as they could. The servants of the missionaries would hide them as soon as they heard the soldiers were coming. They supplied them with Chinese clothes and disguised them until their friends hardly knew them. Miss Whipple's brother and sister did not leave .the city until several days later. Only one American missionary, Dr. Williams, was killed. All of the rest reached Shanghai safely. From fear of the threats of the American government that they must be allowed to come out safely, the Chinese officials allowed them to leave. The missionaries and teachers are hoping that they may soon be able to return, until then native Chinese teachers are trying to carry on the work in some of the schools. The University has been completely destroyed, WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB AND SYDNEY DIXON APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY Mr. Harrison Raymond conducted the Bellingham Women's Music club chorus in an entertaining program in the assembly Tuesday. After a group of songs by the chorus, Sydney Lawrence Dixon was enthusiastically received with his pleasing tenor voice. His two encores "Whip-poor-will" and "Little Mother of Mine," were equally appreciated. The audience was greeted with something new in the presentation of a "Fantasy on a Russian Folk Song," where the alternate mingling of the Chorus, piano and violin played by John Roy Williams, evolved a pleasing uniqueness. As a conclusion, a group of entertaining songs was presented by Mr. Dixon. — —o The Sophomore Class will sell hot clogs, ice cream, bars, and other tempting delicacies during the baseball game and Tri-Norinal meet. Bring "two-bits" and enjoy these luxuries. "W. A. A. Would Be Warblers," will have an opportunity to express their musical thoughts in the form of a W. A. A. Song. A special incentive is a trophy cup to be given to, the best song which will be sung at the Sport's luncheon, June 4. No organization is complete without a club song. Let's go! AT LAKE SAMISH Club Holds Quarterly Function Friday Evening at Resort. Last Friday the Thespian Club, boasting. of a perfect attendance, journeyed to Lake Samish to hold their quarterly picnic. With climatic conditions ideal and Thespian spirit rampant, the affair was easily the outstanding club event of the quarter. Swimming, baseball and horseshoes amused the club members until Miss Kinsman, popular Thespian sponsor, gave the call for "Eats." An informal program around the bonfire brought the happy party to an end. Graceful Violet Green Swallow on the Campus For grace and beauty when flying no bird on our campus compares with the Violet-green Swallow. He is a past master at flying, no angle being so sharp, no descent so rapid but that he can accomplish the act swiftly and gracefully. This beautiful creature is easily recognized by his pure white chin, breast and belly, his rich velvety bronze-green back and his dark, violet wings and tail. He is almost continually flying stopping only for short intervals on some wire or fence to twitter out his chattering song. The Violet-greens made their first appearance on our campus about April 2. They are a summer resident here and will be with us until next fall. Before the advent of white man upon Puget Sound, these birds commonly nested in deserted woodpecker holes and in natural cavities in trees. . Since the coming of man they have forsaken their ancient haunts and now occupy bird-boxes and crannies of buildings. The nest is made of dried grasses, with or without feathers. From four to six pure white eggs are laid. The song of this SwalloAV consists of twittering and creaking notes, as does that of the Barn Swallow. The twitterings are easily recognized and it is not difficult to tell this bird by his song. New birds to be seen on the campus during the last week are: Barn Swallow—May 12. Russett-backed Thrush—May 14. Pine Siskin—May 15. : o LOWERY HOUSE NOTES Dorothy Stearns, Gladys Brown and Elma Mustoner spent the last week-end a t home in Mt. Vernon. Agnes Skaglund visited her home in Sedro-Woolley during the week end.

XXII Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 ~ NO. 16 MAY TRY As was stated in last, week's Messenger, a new club has been organized in the school, known as the Bellingham Normal Drama Club. This club will combine study and interpretation of the drama. No regular meetings will be held by the club as a whole; but from a membership of fifty, casts will be selected for the study and presentation of some drama every quarter. In doing this the club is taking over the forma] class plays, as it has been authorized to do by the faculty organizations committee. No drama will be given this quarter, but the time remaining will be used in organization. Tryouts occur next week, Thursday and Friday, from 3 to 4:30 in room 308. The membership of this club is open to all, regai-dless of club or class affiliations. Each person appearing will be allowed three minutes in which to present some humorous or serious dramatic poem, sketch, story, dialogue, or scene from a drama which will give the committee a hint of his abilities. No manuscripts will be allowed, and no singing or pantomines will be substituted for the reading of lines. Several people may, if they desire, work toge- (Continued on Page Six) ST Mrs. Frank J. Shuler, of the National American Woman Suffrage association, has written Miss Woodard, the Dean of Women, to the effect that the association is planning to give Volumes 5 and 6 of the History of Woman Suffrage, handsomely bound in leather, to the woman student who writes the best essay on the subject, "How can woman best effect good citizenship." Miss Woodard hopes that a large number of the young women of the school will enter the contest. It costs nothing but the effort and time. The books are valuable since they cover the period from 1900 to 1920, just the time when the women of the Northwest were putting up the strongest fight for suffrage. Mrs. Ida Husted Harper spent three years in the preparation of these two volumes. Unlike some contests, .the very work involved is very much worth while. Not only are benefits derived from the practice in formal expression, but the reading and investigation required open up rivers of interest and value. Miss Woodard states that a committee of faculty women will act as judges and formulate the rules of the contest. It is thought best to launch the work immediately in order that the contest may close before the heavy rush at the end of the quarter. All young women wlio are interested are asked to see Miss "Woodard at once. MAY PETERSON, Who Will Sing at the Normal Wednesday Evening, January 24. IS YELL LEADER Angus Bowmer is our new yell leader. He was appointed by the Board of Control. Monday, and was authorized to choose his assistant. Mr. Bowmer was elected to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Dubois Rhine. As acting yell leader, Mr. Bowmer exercised his ability at the games last Friday and Saturday. After witnessing his antics there, everyone felt confident that he will successfully conduct the yelling end of the games during our basketball season. B. S. N. S. NOTICE, STUDENTS! At 10 o'clock, all typewriters are occupied by members of the class in typewriting. Plan your outside typing for some other hour. You are welcome at any time but 10 o'clock. E To Bellingham: We wish to thank the Bellingham students and express our appreciation for the entertainment provided us during our stay. The friendliness and hospitality of the Bellinghamites made this visit the most pleasant trip we have had. Even your team gave us the warmest sort of a reception. We wish to thank all of those who contributed to our excellent time and we promise to do everything we can to give your team the same sort of a welcome when they come to Ellensburg. B. S. N. S. All indications seem to prove that the Seattle club dance will be the greatest social affair of the quarter. Contrary to the usual manner the girls are arranging the programs for the dance. Schirrman's orchestra will furnish the music. TO L May Peterson, noted lyric soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, is singing here the evening of Wednesday, January 24. Miss Peterson, who is making her second trip to the coast, is well 'known here. Miss Peterson is die of nine children, daughter of a Methodist circuit rider who died when she was but a child. She worked her way thru high school and entered the Oshkosh normal which Miss Roberts was at that time attending. Miss Roberts remembers her as a charming, but unassuming girl with a very pleasing personality. Her first appearance was at Oshkosh. This was to raise funds for her training in Europe. When she had $300 more than passage money she sailed for Florence. There she studied under Mmc. Barroechia while at the same time earning a difficult living. She then went to Berlin where she studied under Fer-gussen. She came to America but was told to try opera, and returned to Europe to work under Jean de Reszeka. Miss Peterson made her debut at the Massenett festival at Vichy, singing the title role of "Alanon." This was one of the most nerve racking events of her life as" the cast of this opera is always supposed to be experienced and so no rehearsal was held. Altho she was a novice, her success was complete. In 1914 the war disrupted the "Opera" (Continued on Page Six) BELLINGHAM NORMAL TO PLAY CHENEY The Blue and White, having tasted victory at the expense of Ellensburg, are working hard to get in condition to meet the hoopsters from the Cheney Normal, Saturday night. The Cheney delegation is reported to be much stronger than that of Ellensburg. having held the team from the University of Idaho to a score of 18 to 20. Coach Carver feels that the game will be a hard fought battle, and plans on showing them some real basketball. The game will be played in the Whatcom gymnasium, Saturday evening. Starting at 7:30 sharp. A preliminary game will be played between the Normal second team and Nooksack high school previous to the beginning of the big event. The team is expecting the same- loyal support given them by the- faculty and students during the Ellensburg series. A record-breaking attendance is prophesied as interest over last week's games with Ellensburg is still at high pitch and students will be there to compare the playing of the two sister normals. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 January 19 - Page 2 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 PURE, WHOLESOME FOOD SERVED RIGHT DOLAN'S CAFE Opposite Leopold Hotel 1209% Dock St. Bellingham, Wn.

D. Show-alter said this morning. The following is an exact copy of the bill which will be' presented before the legislature some time during the session: An Act Empowering the Granting of Degrees by the State Normal Schools of Washington When Conforming to Prescribed Curricula. Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Washington: Section I. The degree of A. B. or B. S. may be granted to any student finishing one of the advanced four-year courses of study in the State Normal schools in the State of Washington; provided said course of study is authorized in accordance with the prescribed law and represents four years of advanced work in teacher training. "This bill has been agreed upon by all of the State Normals in Washington and lias the approval of legislative members who nave been consulted concerning it. President Henry Suzzalo of the University of Washing-ton has expressed himself in hearty accord with the Normal school plan to grant degrees and lias discussed the matter with the cleans of his faculty, who have also approved the plan. •'Our alumni association is enthusiastically in favor of the idea and has promised to lend the support of their organization. There is also general agreement among business men, as well • as teachers, that the degree granting power is in keeping with the educational plan adopted in many of the states. "Every state beyond Idaho to the Atlantic seaboard, except Wisconsin, has a degree-granting institution for teachers. Even among the southern states Texas has five Normal colleges and South Carolina also has granted the privilege to her Normal schools. "Practically all northern states have made their Normals real teachers' training centers with degree-granting privileges; California, also, has recently given this right to her Normal schools,'' said Mr. Showalter. —State Normal School Journal, Cheney, Wash.

The entire Ellensburg quintet were there to. enjoy the B. S. N. hospitality, besides a large representation of the Blue and White boys. Tho the reception was more or less impromptu, there was a large attendance from the hall and from those living outside. Punch was served thruout the afternoon. A remarkable feature of the afternoon was the orcestra that played for the dancers. It was a combination of part of Ellensburg's orchestra, rendered by the visitors, and the Normal orchestra. There was quantity as well as quality. Sunday a small group of girls spent the evening with Miss Sperry and Mrs. Campbell at the home of Mrs. Guilder - son, on High Street. Vivian Gunderson, who graduated from the Normal last June was also at home for the weekend. Mrs. Campbell related many interesting experiences which she had met with during her work as a Bible teacher, and also told of some strange experiences of her son and daughter who are missionaries on the foreign field. It was with real regret that the girls said good night to Mrs. Campbell, for her brief visit had proved a joy and an inspiration to many. B. S. N. S. SMILES.

One of the things we are expected to do is to transport them from hotel to gymnasium and other places about. To do this cars are necessary. All schools have this same problem, and most of them solve it by an appeal to the student body. This appeal is generally answered at once. But is this the case with the Normal ? From the Eilensburg experience, we would say not. Twice we had a sufficiency of cars. Twice decidedly not. But we are not going to come to a general conclusion on only one instance. We are going to wait until after the Cheney game tins week. We will need several cars three or four times Saturday, and possibly Friday. How many people are going to come forward with offers of help? We know that some of those who helped before, and all thanks to you public spirited ones, will be with us again. But we need even more cars.

With this warning, there should be plenty of time left for the majority of students to accumulate the necessary two dollars and a half.

Once upon a time there were two brothers, whose names were Carl and Orville. They were knights errant, and they sat by a fountain outside the castle gates, waiting to fight with Arthur's knights. Arthur did not know what to do about it, so one day lie put on his tin suit, and went out to chase them away. After he had beat themi up, he complimented them on their good sportsmanship, and asked them to come in and join the Round-ta-le. The accepted and were welcomed into the crowd. Everybody liked them quite well, but they liked Orville best, because Carl had such a vicious temper. Sir Carl tried manfully to overcome this affliction, but just as sure as he became angry, he was likely to do something awful. Once he even swore at his noble charger. Now Orville was a trusty knight, and t.ie king often sent him. on important missions, while Carl was kept ajt Can-a-Lot, in order that he might not disgrace the Round table with his impulsive temper. Poor Sir Carl felt his limitations and often wondered how he could improve himself. He had always admired Arthur's beautiful queen, and thot that she might be able to help him. "Most gracious queen," he said, "if you would let me wear some token of your's on my shield.. 1 know that I should oe a better man." She gave him permission, and the next day he had the token, in the form of a spit-curl, painted on his shield. In spite of the great moral encouragement this gave him, one day he felt quite blue; so he jumped on his horse and rode away. A few days before, Sir Orville had been sent out to the forest to find a demon that hid there, and destroy him. Sir Carl rode thru this same forest, seeking solace for his weary soul. After riding for quite a while, he stopped to rest under a tree, and fell asleep. When he awoke he saw a girl sitting on a horse watching him. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Bee," she said, "and yours is Hoggat, isn't it?" She went on without waiting for an answer, "What is that sign on your shield ?" "It is the Queen's token," he Sir Carl H. reverently., Bee winked at her companion, Helen, and they laffed long and loudly. "Ha! ha!" said they. "That's nothing," and Bee added. "If I had a reputation like that woman's, I wouldn't be handing out any tokens to innocent, simple little lads like you." At first Carl was angry, but they spoke with such sincerity, that he was forced to believe them. And then he was mad—Oh, My!!! To think how he had been fooled. He shrieked a terible shriek, and began to stamp on the shield. Sir Orville, who was near by, heard the shriek and thinking it was the demon, came charging down the forest path. Sir Carl, hearing the clank of armor approaching, pulled down his visor and prepared to charge the knight who was coming toward him. Each one's lance pierced the other's armor. The lances were shattered. Then each drew his sword and dashed at his opponent, not realizing that he was. fighting his own brother! Finally they fell, dying, into each other's arms. Bee and Helen, thinking the knights were dead, hopped off their horses and unfastened their helmets. Then they rode away. The fresh air revived the brothers and they came too, long enough for each to explain how sorry he was, and they died in each other's arms. —Balin and Balan by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

O. Holland gave an address on "'How to Do Well in Your College Studies" as an aid for the students of the State College of Washington in their subjects. Because of its commendable qualities it has been printed in "School Life," and "The Cougar," and it is now passed on to normal students who may find some worthy advise. "If you want to do' well in your college studies, you must begin well, you must be sure to master thoroughly the daily tasks assigned to you during the first four weeks of the freshman year. If you can get the first month's assignments in all your studies so tint t'ir-y are a real part of your knowledge t'nil thinking, you wave taken the first great step toward success and happiness in your college career. "The first four weeks' work can not be thoroughly done unless, you are present at every recitation and listen attentively to the questions and discussions. In addition, you must be able to get thoroughly each day's work. Do not miss a single day of study; go into each class room with the idea that you will be called upon to answer all the questions and that you can do so without difficulty. When the questions are asked by the instructor, think quickly and see if the answers you have in mind are correct. If you discover your answers are wrong or only half right, you may be sure you have failed to give enough time to your assignment; or worse still, you have not learned to study and to know when you have your lesson. "You must be able to apply some of the simple rules of study if you are to succeed. If you do not, you will do poor work and much of your effort will be wasted. The best brain in the world is one that learns rather slowly, but keeps the information for a long while. The poorest type of brain is one that learns very slowly and forgets quickly! Very few of us have the best type of brain, but most of us possess the second-best type, which we must use so we can get the.greatest service from it. "Such a brain will not work well unless we help it all we can. It must be trained. President Eliot, of Harvard, has said that the greatest thing toi get in college is the trained capacity for mental labor, rapid, intense, and • sustaining. He adds. "It is the main achievement of college life to win this mental force, this capacity for keen observation, just inference and sustained thought." "Now. let us ask, how can we acquire this trained capacity? The pyschologist has answered the qeustion. "'Have a fixed time each day for the preparation of each lesson. Do not let anything break into your schedule of work. Follow a fixed schedule of work for a month and you will be likely to follow it for four years. '"Study the lesson as a whole, to get a general idea of its content and then go back and analyze it carefully. Ask yourself questions about the lesson, and try to answer these questions, dial-, lenge any statements you dp not under-' stand and then see if you find justification for them in the lesson. "Make a synopsis and visualize it so that the relationship of the various parts is clear in your mind. I "At all times, work with concentration. Get into the study with a deter-' mination to understand every part clear-1 ly so that you individually, could answer ! all the questions that might be asked by f the instructor: or you could stand before the class and explain the lesson in de-! tail. An hour of concentration is worth I a half day's time spent in study when | you are not giving it your best interest, i Others have made fine records in this i work—so can you. "Occasionally review the past month's I or week's work; see if you understand I it and can make a sumary of the es- J sential points. | "Make yourself assume the attitude you would have if you were playing tennis, basketball, football, or any other game. game. Go in with all the interest, concentration, and drive you possess. You want to win in play; be victorious in the intellectual challenge that has been thrown down to you. Don't be a quitter, and don't be a second-rater. Summary. First—Plan a Study Schedule. "It will make you an orderly worker; make your work more efficient. "Y7ou will know what you want to do, and can start at once, not waste time. "It will distribute your time fairly, so you will not give it all to one difficult or attractive subject and neglect others. Second—Schedule Your Day. "Work out how much time you give to sleep, meals, recreation, recitations and home duties. "Divde the remaining time, your study time, between the subjects on your study schedule. "Put the first hours, when you are fresh, on the things hardest for you; leaving notebook writing, map making, and like work until later. Third—"Look After Study Conditions. "Have a definite place for study as well as Time. "See that the heat, light, fresh air, and quiet make study easier. Ilemove pictures and other distracting things from your desk or table. Furth—Learn To Concentrate. "Do not look up when someone comes into the room. "Have one chair in which you never do anything but study. "Making an outline of the work that you are to cover in a lesson helps. "If you mind wanders, try studying aloud, or (if it disturbs others) with moving lips. "Sometimes writing out the statement or statistics to be learned while saying them aloud, helps fix them in mind. Fifth—Be Interested. "Forget that you are working for your instructor; you are really working for Yourself. "Find the connection between the subject you are studying and the things you are interested in. "Do not swallow the statements whole, but face them intelligently, see if they seem reasonable to you, if not, find out Why. "Make a. sporting proposition of it. Don't be a quitter or a second-rater. You have as good a mind as your fellows. You can make a good record, or better. It depends on your method of study and vour Will. B. S. N. S. ELLENSBURG'S IDEA OF THE BATTLES Fans here are unable to understand the setbacks received at Bellingham Saturday, unless the cracker box gymnasium at Bellingham was too big a handicap for the vistors. —Ellensburg Evening Record. WINNING A LETTER RUEL KNOWLTON When Young Johnson' came to Lin-- clon High School, he wore short trousers. He was slightly over five feet in height, and weighed only ninety-eight pounds. He knew a good deal about football, and his one big ambition was to win his high school letter in the gridiron sport. On the Monday afternoon preceding the final game with Franklin, Johnson gave an impromptu exhibition in the art of kicking goals. Coach Laws had called the players to one end of the field in order to instruct them in a new kind of forward pass formation; and Johnson had picked up one of the stray footballs lying about, and had begun Ir's usual kicking practice. After a time, Laws himself led his squad to where Johnson was performing, and watched for a time without comment. After the little fellow had kicked eight goals in succession, however, without the semblance of a miss, the football coach turned to his squad with twinkling eyes. "That big fellow there thinks we need a goal-kicker on our team," he announced. "And he is showing us how it ought to be done." Ten times, in rapid succession, the under-sized fellow had kicked the pigskin fairly between the posts and over the bar. The coach knew that he had no one on the squad that could do that. Laws held out his hand saying, "You can report with the teani at the station on Saturday morning and go to Franklin." The next day. the little fellow sat on the bench most of the game. Franklin had made a touchdown, and they failed to kick a goal. Lincoln nad just made a touchdown and had one minute to play. And then Johnson remembered that the game was practically ended. Wide-eyed, he turned and found Coach Law's eyes fixed upon him. "Coach," he said, "if you will give me a chance, I can kick that goal for the team. I know I can." For a moment the coach did not answer, and then with one of his characteristic quick decisions, he nodded permission and said: "Go on the field for full-back, and the team will know what you are there for." The ball sailed upward fair and true, and cleared the cross bar at the very center. He had Avon thea game for his school in the last few seconds of play .uul his school would not forget it soon. And so it was that little Johnson, hardly five feet in height and weighing less than a hundred pounds, earned his school letter in football. B. S. 2sT. S. GIVE 'EM A CHEER! Give 'em a cheer! Who?

The reports indicate that the Hyaks outfought and outplayed Bellingham but their shooting eyes were not functioning at their best. The score of the first game was 25 to 16, and of the second game 32 to 18. Full details were not given in the wire, but we know the boys played up to their limit. Our hope now rests in revenge and all efforts must be turned to treating Bellingham in a similar manner when they come down here.—Ellensburg Student Opinion. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 January 19 - Page 6 ---------- 6 BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1922 FORMER FACULTY MEMBER WRITES FROM PHILIPPINES "November 23, 1922, "TO THE MESSENGER: "From the far off Philippines I send Christmas greetings and best wishes for a happy New Year to all my Belling-ham Normal friends. How I would love to be with j'ou again and to tell you of this country, so different from anything in the States and so little known. "I have just returned to Manila,, after spending two montns in the far interior of that great Philippine Island so far to the south, vast, mysterious, and half explored Mindanao. I traveled nearly 1,000 miles, making a reconnaissance of lakes and rivers, for the purpose of making recommendations about the introduction and planting of food fishes. "Climbing giant voleanos, visiting remote mountain lakes, riding or hiking for hundreds of kilometers thru tremendous forests with all the wealth of tropical vegetation possible, strange flowers, tangled vines, monkeys, screaming cockatoos, and beautiful song birus, days and nights in narrow, cranky, dugout canoes threading interminable swamps peopled with an almost incredible number and variety of water birds and covered for miles and miles with glorious pink lotus—such were some of my experiences. "'My trip to Lake Nuniulgan was Jin interesting one. Leaving Ganassi. a village at the southwest corner of Lake Lanao, which lies at an elevation of 2,200 feet, we traveled to the southwest. For two or three nours we rode over a region, of high grass covered hills, threading our way thru fields of upland rice and passing many strange Moro houses. Gradually we left tin's all behind and wound our way up into the great forest covering the mountain range which we must cross. Here were enormous trees WK.. far flung wall-like buttress roots, and grotesque, incredibly huge wild figs or banians filling the air with a multitude of roots. Higher up were miles and miles of those most beautiful creatures of all the plant world, tree ferns, ten, twenty, forty feet in height, while in the wet places pandans hobbled around on their strange prop-roots, their crowns raised eighty or ninety feet aoove. In one part we traveled under lofty arches formed by giant bamboo, e:ich clump many yards in diameter, each stalk as thyck as my thigh, and their delicate tips swaying seventy-five feet or more . in the air above. "My, what grand fishing poles they about tiie middle of the afternoon would make for a Brobdignagian! "In time we uegan to descend, following a dashing mountain stream, and cular sheet of water a mile or more in diameter. It is surrounded by a nar-reached Lake Nunungaii, an almost cir-row rim of rice padines, behind which rise great b'lls and mountains of an ap-pllng ptcepness. Clustered at the foot of the highest peek of all, a mountain visible from the coast, lies the village where we spent the night. "I found that the lake had an outlet, its waters flowing off directly into the bowels of the great mountain, so that J thought at once of "Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man." "Of great interest to all Normalites would be a visit to the school at Nunun-gan. The building is of bamboo, with split bamboo floor and a grass thatched roof and, like all the native buildings, stands on posts. There is a single entrance at one side and the opposite wall covered with blackboard. "The principal was a Christian Filipino, his assistant a young Moro, for this is in the heart of the Moro country. The principal held his classes on one side of the. central aisle, while his assistant held forth at the otiier end of the room. Most of the children were boys, but there was a fair sprinkling of girls, as the Moros are beginning to allow their girls to go to school. The children were a motley lot, judged by Christian standards, but when I thought of the advantages children have in the United States I was filled with sympathy and compassion for these poor children struggling under such handicaps of poverty, language and religious opposition. All were barefoot of course, since the Moros away from tiie cities never wear shoes. Some boys,and girls wore only a sarong,. a pillow; case like garment, open at both ends. Small boys may luiA'e it twisted around their loins or around their neck, or cover themselves entirely with it. Most boys wore also a pair of very short, skin-tight trousers, on tiie model of bathing trunks; a few were elaborately dressed, with tight jackets and long skin-tight trousers which have to be buttoned around the legs, both garments elaborately spattered with gold or silver buttons. These were the sons of datus or chiefs. Since these people never wash their clothes and have no soap, the sarongs, once white, were now far from., pleasing to the eye. But the children who have had a Tew years of schooling change all this as far as it lies within their power. The schools teach the Moros cleanliness, sanitation, and hygiene, things which are utterly unknown to them otherwise. "The Sultan of jSunungan, a tall, powerful, middle-ageu man, half naked, surprised me by stepping to the front and making a ten minute speech to the children. He was terribly in earnest and looked savage enough to chop off .i head or two. The governor of the .province, who was with me, said the Sultan was telling the children now proud he was of the school, and how they must attend regularly and study hard: in short, he made just such a speech as any prominent citizen WOUK! make in the United States when addressing a school. "I could not help thinking of me wonderful changes time makes. Seven or eight years ago this Nunungan region was infested by notorious bands of outlaws who fought desperately against the coming of the Christian and all uis innovations and now here he is urging the children of the tribe to do the things which upset the old order. These Mohammedans are still a polygamous, slave-holding people but such things wui not last many generations against the increasing influence of the public schools. "Our ride back was in a terrific rainstorm, which broke as we were ascending the mountain. The land-leeches, loathsome, liver-colored blood suckers simply swarmed on the ground and every time 1 alighted I was covered by them. From the trees and bushes kept dropping down more landleeches, handsome gold and green striped fellows but equally voracious. "About noon tiie rain ceased and as we emerged from the dark forest and caught sight of the blue waters of Lake Lanao, hundreds of feet below us, with a rainbow over it twenty or thirty miles off, I felt that traveling in Mindanao had its pleasures in spite of occasional discomforts.

It was hard to pick the stars, as the entire team was of such fine quality. Keplinger, Dawson and Thomas kept the score keeper busy.

Herbert Hansen, who edited the Messenger for three quarters during 1919- 1921, visited the Normal last week. He teaches geography and history, in the grade school at Kent, Washington. The high water in the vicinity of Kent made it necessary to close all school temporarily. Mr. Hansen will be in attendance at the Normal this summer, and intends to complete his third year's work. He states that the majority of the thirty teachers employed by the Kent district are graduates from a four-year college course. B. S. IN. S. A Geometry Problem.

Each girl had the privilege of speaking her mind about things that had been bothering her for some time. Many questions were raised, some of them being: "Why can't the girls have larger lockers or more space anyway, so that our coats may be taken care of;" "We should show more courtesy when we are observing;" "A Girl's club should be started in Whatcom High;" "We should show more courtesy to our speakers in an assembly, and not walk. out;" "The whispering in assemblies should be stopped." ——B .

Silvery boughs of pussywillow, With boughs bursting buds I've seen... Clothed in crystal fur-topped bonnets, Through their stalks of wood-brown beam. As a sprig of crimson holly Bears a note of Christmas cheer, O'er the snow-roofed home and cottage For a full and glad New Year. So it is the pussywillow In her robes of silvan grey, From her home out in the marshland, Brings to us the new spring day. —^T. La Rouche. B. S. N. S.—• Father, to small son: "If you saw all this wood you can nave the sawdust to play .circus with." ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 January 19 - Page 8 ---------- Student Opinions That tne Training school could take care of so many student teachers has always been an interesting fact, but the numbers doing practice teaching at the nine o'clock hour Wednesday and ten o'clock hour on Mondays is simply phenomenal. Did you ever notice them leaving assembly the instant the warning bell rings? Is it not too bad they cannot all sit together near the back of the room so their leave taking would not disturb everyone quite so much? In that case there might not be so general a stampede. Anyway, it does not look very complimentary to the speaker. —M. L. — B. S. N. S. Did you ever go to the bookcase in search of a particular book and fail to find it anywhere near the books numbered as it was? Perhaps you needed it badly and went to the librarian and found that it was neither out nor reserved. You then went back and searched very diligently all the bookcases anywhere near and even between two books of an entirely different subject. Someone had been using it in the library and had not bothered to put it back in the rigth place. So until some energetic people like yourself or one of the library force, sets it right, there it stays. The magazine files cause just the same waste of time. Wouldn't it be grand if all the students would reform in this one particular? —M. L. B. S. N. S. Hello! "Hello!" Doesn't last for a minute, A clear little, queer little word, But,, say! There's a lot of cheer in it. It's like the first chirp of a bird In spring, when the hilltops are greening Right after the cold and the snow I think, when it comes to real meaning- There isn't one word like "Hello." —James W. Foley. "Hello!" Doesn't take but a minute A quick little friendly word. By some seems to have never been heard. Some folks, when they meet on the campus Pass by; without nod or a smile. I think to boost our school spirit They should practice "hello" for awhile. It's full of good cheer when we say it, It shows that we're friends on the hill, We all shouldn't act like we fear it, It scatters bad felings and ill.

Julia E. Whitmore. B. S. N. S. - Dr. Miller Comments. Dr. Miller sumbits a comment on a phase of one of Dr. Sternheim's recent lectures, which involved the characterization of the educational attitude of the eastern and southern sections of our country. Dr. Sternheim summarized in a word, refefing to each section, its so-called educational attitude—that of the East, "finality," and tnat of the South, "sloth." The attitude of the West also, in regard to education, was characterized by the word "novelty." In oposition to the word "finality," as applying to the East, Dr. Miller reminds us of the fact that a very large number of progressive movements originated in the eastern section of the country. For instance, the playground movement had its origin in Boston; also the movement for vocational guidance, originating in Boston and New York at about the same time. The differentiation of the curriculum, of'the . higher grades, to secure more flexible promotion and freedom for vocational work was first tried out in the State of Massachusetts. The elective system in college was first brought into prominence by its adoption at Harvard, and the use of intelligence tests for college entrance was inaugurated by Columbia University. At least four of the newer types of experimental schools, for elementary education are located in the East. Also one of the largest and most progressive teachers' colleges in the world is in New York City. The South, the educational attitude of which Dr. Sternheim expressed as "slothful," has made relatively greater progress in education since 1900 than any other part of the country. Of course they were farther behind, but their backwardness was due largely to the devastation and poverty caused by the Civil War. Industrial progress has, however, bettered conditions. Two of the best teachers' colleges are located in the South. They are Peabody Teachers' College at Nashville, Tennessee, and one at Rock Hill, South Carolina, both of which equal any four-year teachers' college of the Middle West or Western portion of our country. This comment, it is understood, criticizes but this one phase of Dr. Sternheim's speech, as he proved a remarkable lecturer in every respect. But the characterization of the East or South by a single name, though clever, is impossible. B. S. N. S. Hoop Rules. Realizing that there is only one way to get into the pink of condition for basketball, and that is by adopting strict training rules and observing them, the men turning out adopted practically the same rules that they observed last year. It is no secret at least to the members of last years team that much of their success was due to their ability to go just a little harder and longer than their opponents. Several teams had more weight and experience but they did not have the staying powers of the Maroon and Orange. Following are the rules: 1. No dances. 2. No smoking. 3. No pie, rich cake, tea or coffee. 4. No soft drinks with the exception of one milk shake or malted milk a day. 5. No candy. 6. Home at 10 p. m. week nights and 11 p. m. Friday and Saturday.

Miss Moffat sat by the fire with the "Weekly Messenger" in her hand, opened at "Club Notes." She put on her glasses and read: January—192G. The Alkisiah Club motored over, to their club house at Normal stad, in their Alkisiah Club touring car, last Thursday evening. The meeting was called to order by the president. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary. The following business was brought before the house: Owing to the great success in the sale of bulbs and seals at Christmas time, there is considerable amount of money in the treasury. So the club have decided to install a radio set at the club house and send their programs broadcast over the country. After the business meeting a program was given, then the girls spent the remainder of the evening toasting marsh-mallows before the large open fireplace, and playing games. .

NORMAL STUDENTS MIX IN BASKETBALL NORMAL'S W. A. A. IS INCREASING RAPIDLY Excitement ran high Saturday evening when the Fairhaven Alumni lassies mixed with their "used-to-be" Whatcom rivals. Early in the game Whatcom took the lead and the first half ended in their favor. Fairhaven has not forgotten how to come back and the second half was a royal battle. Again and again the score was tied with Whatcom breaking it each time. 18-18 and only a few second to go! Just before the whistle blew a Whatcom forward located the basket and scored 2, thus placing the score 20-18 in Whatcom's favor. The game was played as a preliminary to the Ellensburg-Bellingham game. Though the teams were not representing Normal, they were composed almost entirely of past and present Normal students.

B. S. N. S. The side lines were quiet when Maurie was knocked out by his weighty opponent, Friday night at the basketball game. From the tense silence came a relieved sound when "Bee" Thomas suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, he's got it back!" Leave it to a gathering of healthy, wholesome-minded athletic girls to make things hum. Last Friday evening the girls of the W. A. A. sped from the big gym (and dance hour), towards the cafeteria. At the time, lest all the hungry dancers become suspicious and invade the scene of satisfaction (of appetites) not a word was uttered as to the reason for the rapid migration northward. But—After a repast of pies, sandwiches and various other appetizers, the girls indulged in a yell rally. When it comes to yelling the W. A. A. members are still inoculated with the good old high school peptorism. On getting properly wound up they quietly (?) slipped from the building over to the Fairhaven gymnasium, tiptoed in, and never once disturbed the audience with so much as a whisper. If you weren't at the game you may believe that, but if you are awake at least one period of a day at school within the next six months you may change your minds, for "W. A. A." plans are rising rapidly, and an overflow of something this school hasn't seen for many a day is expected at any time. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. B. S. N. S. Heard in Typewriting Class.

The plans of entertainment include a banquet for the teams Saturday evening and a dance for all Normal students Saturday afternoon. The banquet is in charge of a committee chosen by the president of the Students' Association, namely: Tina Pearson, Helen Hightower, and Mr. iKolstad. It will be given for the two teams, the managers, and coaches. Plans for the Saturday afternoon dance are in the hands of Leland Rankin, Helen Goke, Tina Pearson, and Miss Keeler. -B. S. N. S. — Personal Survey. As Dr. Sternheim suggested that the students take a day off and give themselves a personal survey, the matter was taken up in Tuesday's Woman's assembly. The girls are going to survey themselves for a week. Each girl has a card on which she must put down the exact number of minutes spent on each lesson, on outside work, or anything that takes up time. This will help the faculty see who is making the lessons too long, and will also show wherein the students may divide their time more evenly. A very enjoyable musical program was given Wednesday, during the latter part of the assembly hour. A part of our school talent was once more expressed in the following program: Vocal solos Irene Stewart Carissimo by Arthur Penn. Duna by Josephine McGill. Betty Yost, accompanist. Trio—* Marian Westerland, violin. Julia Squires, cello. Mrs. Hagerdorn, pianist. Serenade by Chaminades My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice (from Samson and Delila).

Mrs. Addison Campbell, of Seattle, was the speaker at all of the meetings. She had expected that Mrs. Samuel Bowman, also of Seattle, would accompany her, but Mrs. Bowman was unable to come. Mrs. Campbell already had many friends in the school, and she made many more during this last visit. It would be impossible to say which of her meetings was the most interesting and helpful, but one especially which was very interesting was on the subject of Woman's Privilege and Responsibility. "I believe," said Mrs. Campbell, "that back of every great event in the world's history there has been a woman, sometimes a wife, often a mother, who is in a large measure responsible." Following the custom of previous years, Saturday's meeting was a missionary meeting and Mrs. Campbell Tead a very interesting letter from her daughter in Korea, describing some of the expereinces she had been thru as a missionary there.

The Western Front June 1,1990 /Volume 82, Number ^ ^Former custodian wins sexual harassment suit By Derek Dujardin staff reporter A jury awarded $75,000Friday to former Western custodian Kim-berly Abbott for a sexual-harassment suit against the university. While employed by Western from 1986-88, Abbott claimed to have suffered sexual harassment from her supervisor, Gary E. Smith, who allegedly touched her repeatedly in unwelcomed ways. Abbott latercomplained to Smith's supervisors who allegedly did little to curtail the harassment. During the trial,Abbott's attorney David Summers proved harassment took place, but was unable to prove Smithguilty of harassment. Summers also could not prove any other supervisor used demeaning jobevaluations in retaliation against Abbott for complaining, the jury found. Assistant Attorney General JonFerguson said he wasnt sure if the university would appeal. "There are a lot of things to look at andconsider," he said. Smith, 49, said he feels great now the trial is over. "I think the law is a good law, but it can be used as a political weapon against somebody," he said. In retrospect, Smith said he wouldhave requested an internal investigation as soon as the allegations were made against him. Kay Rich,director of university residences, said most of the accusations were made when the guidelinesconcerning sexual harassment of employees were in their infancy. Yet, the jury judged the evidenceusing contemporary sexual harassment standards that didn't exist in 1986. The $75,000 is only half ofthe $ 150,000 Summers requested, but he said he was happy with the verdict and the thoughtfulness the jury used in deciding. The final bill to Western may be much higher than the $75,000 award. The lawconcerning sexual harassment of a Washington state employee, entitles the employee to have alllawyer's fees and court costs paid for by die defendant. The combined fees of the Attorney General,Summers, court costs and expenses could total $110,000 to $115,000. SA committee decides budget By Bruce Halabisky staff reporter After nine months of debate, the Services and Activities committeedecided last Friday to carry over the same budget percentage split between the Associated Students, theDepartmentally Related Activities Council and Housing and Dining as last year. Two alternative proposals â€” one calling for a reduction in Housing and Dining's percentage and the other proposing thepercentages stay the same, but $10,000 be set aside for the Ethnic Student Centerâ€” were voted downby the committee. AS President Kent Thoelke's idea of reducing Housing and Dining's percentage toobtain the necessary AS funds for the proposed Ethnic Students Center next year was criticized by Roger Oettli, business manager for university residences. "We have two major revenue streams, one is student rent and one is SA fees," Oettli said. "If one revenue stream is affected then we have to make up for itin the other. We may have to look at catting some of the equipment at KUGS, we may have to look atcutting some of the equipment at Lakewood or we may have to raise student rent." See Budget on page2 Western student dies in accident By Bretha Urness-Straight staff reporter Western student, James"Jamie" J. Stanton Jr., 21, died from head injuries in a motorcycle accident Friday, May 25. Stanton,the son of James Stanton of Kirkland and Barbara Stanton of Mount Vernon, was a junior majoringin environmental economics. Stanton was heading southbound on Chuckanut Drive when he entered thenorthbound lane while taking a corner. Witnesses said Stanton was forced to swerve when heencountered a northbound car driven by a Western student on a geology field trip. Stanton lost control, hit a natural rock ledge and died immediately from head injuries, police reports said.

Greg Anderton, AS vice-president forExternal Affairs, initiated the idea of removing the magazines, after expressing concern about thebookstore selling what he considers pornographic material and the affect it has on readers. "I don't feelcomfortable removing them without more student input," Anderton said. "But people need more education about the affects pornography have." Other possibilities considered were a ban on the magazines orusing money from sales of them to educate students about pornography. The'board agreed a student vote was the best alternative, but suggestions to put it on the ballot with yesterday's scheduledpresidential run off concerned board members and students, who said they wouldn't be able to inform thestudents about the issue soon enough. The run off election was cancelled after candidate Joe Patrick was disqualified for illegal campaigning on his KUGS radio show. "I think that if we 're going to pass it on tothe students (and let them make the decision), we might as well be responsible about it," said ChristineHart, AS vice-president for Internal Affairs. Jack Smith, adviser to the board, said the AS could removethe magazines now and ask students in a referendum if they should be put back. "I feel comfortableremoving this material," Hart said, "because we try to make our campus as safe as possible and then we have this material in our bookstore that promotes rape and other violence against women." The onlyvoiced opposition came from AdamFranks, next year's AS vice-president for Internal Affairs, who said hedidn't approve of the magazines, but believed individual freedom of choice should be preserved. "It's not ademand for the product, but the principles of freedom of choice," Franks said. "I think people should havethe right to decide for themselves what they want to read and what they don't want to read." Members ofWestern's Women's Center attending the meeting said keeping the magazines violated otherConstitutional freedoms. "If pornography is allowed because of the First Amendment," said one member,"then that's violating the women's rights for equal safety under the law which is in the FourteenthAmendment." Removing the magazines is not a ban, Hart said, since students can still buy them off-campus. Board members voting to remove the magazines until a referendum can be set were Hart,Anderton, AS vice-president for Academic Affairs Ericka Jackson and AS vice-president for ResidenceLife Leslie Jensen. Members voting against the measure were AS president Kent Thoelke,Secretary/Treasurer Bob Visse and Vice- President for Activities Theresa Bertrand. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front News Friday, June 1,1990 By Mark Sabbatinl ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ filed the complaint, after listening to and taping part of a May 27 showhosted by Patrick where Chairperson Dave Mason said Patrick would be disqualified and his opponentMark Aaserud property use, the preamble of the Code promising a fair and impartial election and theKUGS lelatedto the campaign, including his reasons for voting to reduce funding for Departmentallyresult.

"I think Joe has to be heldaccountable. This was a situation Women need voice By Julie Davisson staff reporter The Commissionfor Women is looking for four new members for the 1990-91 academic year. Chairperson ConstanceFaulkner of Fairhaven College is accepting applications for two faculty, one student and one classifiedstaff member to fill the voluntary positions open on the commission. The applications must include ashort written statement of "her particular interests regarding the status of women on campus," asstated in the May 17 issue of Fast, Western's faculty/staff publication. Faulkner will choose twoapplicants for each of the positions and submit those choices to President Mortimer for a finaldecision. As of May 23, no students have applied. Faulkner said she realizes being on a committeetakes a lot of time, but student input is essential. "It's so hard to get student voices on committeesbecause they're transient and much busier in some ways, but we need it. After all, that's what we'rehere for," she said. The commission was established in December 1988 by President Mortimer on arecommendation by the Women's Resources Council and the Women's Network. The Summary ofCommission for Women's Activities (April 1990) states the group's purpose as follows: to "(1) serve as a liaison to I collect and disseminate information on issues of concern to all women on campus; (2) help improve coordination of efforts to accomplish shared goals and (3) advise the president on gender-related issues." The commission meets once every two weeks to discuss such issues as day careprograms, sexual harassment, personal safety, advisement for older returning students and manyother issues relating to women' and the improvement of campus. Faulkner said some of the importantthings the commission accomplished this year were the creation of a Sexual Harassment Task Force,an Ombudsperson and a sexual harassment education program for faculty and staff across campus."We've had a lot of successes this year and we haven't publicized ourselves at all," Faulkner said.Faulkner is leaving the commission next year. "It's a wonderful group to work with," she said. "I'll besad to leave." rÂ»LD Town CAFE Look at the Advantages! 10d cup coffee with meal before 8 am Mon-Fri play the piano for a free drink win the history contest for various amounts of free food fresh bakedgoods delicious daily special (soups, sandwiches and salads) â€¢ smoke free environment gt;occasional live music â€¢ intelligent staff with a sense of humor Mon-Sat 7 am-3 pm, Sun 8 am-2 pm;316 W.

Smith pointed out Housing and Dining originally received a straight fee of $25from every student and not a percentage cut of the SA funds. Despite Smith's arguments, Thoelke'sproposal was voted down. This rejection follows the rejection made May 22 of a previous proposal calling for a reduction in DRAC's budget. Immediately after the failure, Tina Brinson, a representative of DRAC, put another proposal on the table which would set aside $10,000 for next year's Ethnic Student Center,but would carry forward last year's percentage splits. Thoelke attacked the proposal saying the $10,000would only be a one time solution and the problem of funding the Ethnic Student Center would surfaceagain next year. "I would hate to see one quarter million go toward (building) the Center and then have$10,000~ to run it," Thoelke said. Brinson's proposal subsequently failed. As the meeting dragged onwithout the SA committee reaching a decision, all parties involved appeared unwilling tocompromise. In a state of frustration, Joe Patrick, SA committee member said "I say let's just go fora one-third split and tell everyone else to kiss off!" After all the discussion, a third proposal was finallypresented calling for the exact same percentage ;arry-over as last year. This proposal jassed leavingDRAC, AS and Hous-ng and Dining, after nine months of liscussion, with the same budget percentagesas last year. The SA committee's budget will now go to the board of trustees for final approval. In other actions the board: *placed a two-year written reprimand citing "human error" in Social IssuesCoordinator Chad Goller's personnel file after he used a state computer for campaign purposes in the AS election. *held over a request from Election Chairman Dave Mason for $586 to fund yesterday'scanceled presidential run-off election between Joe Patrick and Mark Aaserud. They also denied hisrequest for reimbursement of 144 hours of claimed overtime work, saying it would set a dangerousprecedent for other AS members working extra hours without compensation. ^discussed thepossibility of using $ 100,000 from the bookstore reserve for a Minority Retention Scholarship. Thescholarship would be awarded to currently enrolled minority students with a 3.2 or greater GPA. Thescholarship would consist of interest from initial money deposited. *Former legislative liaison ScottOlsen made an employment termination appeal. Olsen said the board gave him the alternative ofresigning or being fired, but gave him little grounds for the request. "The way he related to people downin Olympia was not working out," Bertrand said. After dismissing the appeal, Thoelke said Olsen shouldtake legal action if he wanted to pursue his complaint further. "That is my intention," Olsen said. "I willbe filing lawsuits against each and every one of you." . 1990/91 STUDENT PARKING PERMITS: Studentparking applications for the 1990-91 school year are now available at the Parking Services office.

( ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 The Western Front 3 Protesters raise awareness about jail conditions By EstherEwell staff reporter Four Western women were among the six who demonstrated in front of theWhatcom County Courthouse at noon Thursday to raise awareness of jail conditions and inequalities that exist for the poor. Sharon O'Connell, Collette Holten, Lucy Colvin, Kate Blake, Swaneagle and Adrienne Papermas-ter walked down to the corner of Grand Avenue and Lottie Street carrying signs protestingconditions they say exist, such as bad treatment of the poor inmate population, lack of ventilation andovercrowded jail cells. The protest resulted from information relayed by Nikki Craft, the women's rightsactivist arrested May 23 for malicious mischief. Craft was arrested after tearing up four issues of theJune Esquire magazine in Village Books. Swaneagle of Lummi Island said, "What's wrong with thesystem is this: There are two classes of people. One who can post bail and those who can't. And thosewho can't are subjected to harsh conditions that are unjust and unfair." Collette Holten feels thecurrent judicial system finds people guilty before being proven innocent. People who are unable to postbail must wait in the jail until their trial, which can take months. Holten said, "What about the time spent in jail if found innocent? Do you get compensated for the time you spent in jail? For the misery of it, thelack of exercise, lack of privacy, overcrowding and lack of freedom. Just because you couldn't post bail." One protester, Kate Blake, said the overcrowding of the jail could be greatly reduced if people awaitingtrials for non-violent crimes be released from the jail. Whatcom County Sheriff Larry Mount said thecourt tends to be lenient and release people on their personal recognizance if they can show any ties inthe local community. "Like with Nikki Craft Her friends have volunteered to bail her out. She TylerAnderson/The Western Front Protesters rallied in front of the courthouse Thursday to make people awareof jail conditions and inequalities against the poor. didn't take it," Mount said. "If she's so concernedabout her fellow inmates, she could accept her friends hospitality and we would have one less bodyinside." Protester Sharon O'Connell said Craft doesn't believe in posting bail. "She's in solidarity with thepoor women in the jail," O'Connell said. One result of jail overcrowding is that 14 women are sharing aneight-bed cell, Holten said. Mount agrees with the protesters on their concern of the overcrowded jails."We are definitely overcrowded. We're the 14th most crowded jail in the state according to statisticsgiven to us by the Washington Association of Sheriff and Police Chiefs," he said. Mount said over theMemorial Day holiday weekend, the jail had 173 people in the 148-bed facility. "It's not just the women'scell; the whole system is overcrowded," Mount said. Because of overcrowding, the ventilation system inthe jail is taxed to its maximum capacity. The inmate Tired of Studying? Need a Break? RENT AMOVIE!

Protesters claim themeals fed to the inmates arc unbalanced and designed to mentally slow down the prison population.Mount responded by saying, "Ask school kids or military members. Anything that is cooked in a massway does not appeal to everybody, but they are nutritionally sound." The jail menus are periodicallyreviewed by nutritionists to assure the nutritional standards. "If we get a complaint, we ask them (thenutritionists) to come over and see what they have to say about it," Mount said. Inmates are given anhour a week for exercise. Protesters said this isn' t enough time to maintain good health. Mount saidthis situation is because of the workload in the prison and the limited number of personnel. "It's beenthat way for four years. It won't change in the near future until we can increase our staffing so we canmove people back and forth easier," Mount said. Western graduate student Lucy Colvin hopes theprotest will bring about changes in the jail conditions and help the people who are too poor to post bail.We need you WE'RE FIGHTING FOR American Heart YOUR LIFE Association -lt;v .a OFF CAMPUS THIS SUMMER?

John Paul Jones De Joria is owner of Paul Mitchell Inc., a hairproducts company, which has donated more than $20,000 to the project, along with a guaranteed entryinto the World Solar Challenge in Australia in November. The Challenge race only allows 30 entries.Three of these positions will be taken by the top solar cars at this summer's General Motors Sun-rayce.The three winners of the Sun-rayce will have all expenses paid by GM to the race in Australia. "I know of no other schools that have entered the Australian race," said Bill Lingenfelter, solar car team captain.De Joria entered his first car, the Mana La, in the 1987 Sunrayce, but because of rule changes, hecouldn't race the same car in this summer's race. He was in the process of building his own entry forthis summer's race when he found out about Western's solar car through a friend at Boeing, Bill Yerkes,Lingenfelter said. De Joria asked Yerkes about which school would win the GM Sunrayce and herecommended Western's car, Lingenfelter said. "He really thinks we will do well," Lingenfelter said. "GMhas also put us at the top of their list to win." "It's not so much the entry, but the use of his grandfatherclause into the race," said Michael Seal, Director of the Vehicle Research Institute. "He thinks wehave a better chance of winning and he's indicated that there could be more (monetary donations)." Allother colleges are relying on winning the Sunrayce in order to go on to the challenge race in Australia,but we aren't, Lingenfelter said. De Joria has been described by the media as a aging hippie who isinterested in solar cars and energy conservation, Seal said. "I think he is really aware of the problems ofthe earth," Seal said. Western's solar car is an unusual design in comparison with its competitors. Itwill be a two passenger car that will be driven facing the east in the morning and turned around to facethe west in the afternoon. Viking XX will have a competitive edge because of the two passenger rule,which allows more solar cells on the car's body. It will be the only car of its type in the GM Sunrayce.The Viking XX is expected to break world records for solar-powered cars by averaging 50 mph on levelroads. Gerald J. Reilly/The Western Front Western's Viking XX has received donations from varioussources to help fund the trip to Australia. It will be featured in the June issue of Popular Science and willbe on the front cover of the August More recently, the Viking XX project received a $5,000 donation fromBellingham Cold Storage. The team is still working toward Students protest elimination of ethnic centerBy Mark Sabbatini staff reporter Associated Student Board budget healings on May 30 were dominatedby students protesting the elimination of the new Ethnic Student Center's administrative budget,which would prevent it s planned opening in November. Because the center's $42,000 request is a newbudget item, it was last on the budget list, said AS president Kent Thoelke. The proposed budgetalready contains a $10,000 deficit, after $120,000 in cuts were made to the $1.1 million budget. "It couldhave been any new program," Thoelke said. "When you have a budget with new programs and themoney doesn't come in, you cut the new programs." However, students attending the meeting claimedthey weren't just "any new program." "I'm very offended as a minority student on this campus that thiscenter is not going to happen," said one student. "This issue has been talked about as long as 20years ago and other campuses are further ahead then we are. I'm wondering what kind of message thiswill give to minority students we're trying to recruit." However, AS board members said money will befound to fund the Center's operations, since approximately $250,000 has been spent to build it. Funds aren't available because of an $80,000 shortfall in the AS budget, which resulted from estimated lower expected enrollment figures. If additional revenues are raised, through higher prices or lower discountrates at the bookstore, some of the money could be used for the center. Thoelke also urged students to talk with Service and Activities Fee Split Committee members, who voted 5-4 not to give a percentage ofmoney from Housing and Dining to the AS to resolve its budget problems. If a member who voted against the proposal calls for a new vote, the issue could be reopened, he said. "What I was hearing in thecommittee meeting was that everyone supported diversity as long as it was done in a status quosetting," said Jack Smith, adviser to the AS Board of Directors. "That's almost impossible to work out, which I guess gets to the root of support for diversification at Western." Social Issues CoordinatorChad Goller said he intends to attend the SA committee meeting because "I think it's important thatwe tell these people we're tired of the lip service that this university's given." finishing the solar car alongwith trying to find the funds for travel and lodging expenses for the team members.

"Some Things We've Done," is the title of an exhibit featuring the works of Western studentsGarth Mix and Kwok Wong. The exhibit has certain undertones but for the most part, the title of theshow does a good job in summing up the work featured. Wong seems to enjoy delving into the realm ofthe human mind. His Picasso-ish style can be appreciated by all who attend. He dabbles in theabstractâ€”the inner self. The end result stirs a variety of emotions. To the common observer, pain andfear are the dominant elements in his work. Wong's work "A Poet," demonstrates his dealings in theabstract. This drawing shows an apparently frightened woman staring down at a pool of water. Herreflection, however, is not her own. The reflection she sees is that of a man, who seems equallyfrightened. Another one of Wong's works titled "The Great Depression" features wretched, mangledhands reaching up into darkness. The feeling one gets from looking at this work is one of injustice.Wong's drawing of Lucille Ball deviates from his other works featured. It is a portrait done withexquisite detail. It is of photographic quality. Mix combines a variety of feeling in his work. Someof his more impressionable works include "Contribution Exxon" and "Stacks." Both works deal withman's negative effect on the environment. "Contribution Exxon" is a graphite drawing of a bird coveredin oil. The bird is obviously dead or dying. The detail in the drawing is of phenomenal quality andshould be seen by all who appreciate fine art. "Stacks" is another graphite drawing. The work shows a woman sitting by a cliff overlooking a valley. She is staring somberly at huge smoke stacks in thedistance. It is another great piece of artwork. "I come from Kodiak, Alaska," Mix said. "I have workedextensively in the wilderness and have seen the impact we have on the environment" It is quite obviousMix doesn't like what he sees. This is clearly defined in his artwork. Mix uses what appears to be thesame girl in many of his works. She is placed in a variety of environments and situations. She addsgreatly to the mood of the pieces in which she is featured. "It isn't any one girl," Mix said. "However, agirl I met when I was a freshman was used as a model for some of the works." Mix is a Graphic DesignIllustrating major. He is currently in his junior year. Both artists show a wide variety of styles in theirdisplays. "Basically, I've just been experimenting with the different styles to figure out exactly what itis I want to do," Mix said. "I'll probably go the commercial route," Mix said. Whatever the case, bothartists are extremely talented. Their displays in the Viking Union Gallery run through June 1. If youhaven't seen the exhibit yet, definitely make the effort to see their works. You are bound to be pleasantly surprised. If for some reason you miss the show, just take a look at some of the illustrations in thispaper. Chances are, they were done by Garth Mix. â‚¬gt;Â©â‚¬)Â©â‚¬)â‚¬gt;â‚¬gt;â‚¬)Â©Â©Check out other student achievements in the arts on pages 8-9. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Western Front Friday, June 1,1990 Cleanse the vermin on our campus We're saved!!!! No morebreasts and snakes By Jeff Galbraith guest columnist I was reading the Front the other day (because,of course, my June issue of Heaving Heavy Bondage Queens hadii'tarrived),andInoticed a recentmovement in the AS. Unfortunately it wasn't the movement of brain impulses. It looks as if there'sgoing to be a very vocal and heavy battle to ban publications at the bookstore deemed as "pornographic." . Thank God. It's about time someone had the balls (or whatever they may have) to stand up andscream, "Blech!" and remove these perv-pages from our view. Naked women are gross and harmful. Noone can dispute that. They perpetuate false ideals and therefore should be hidden from society exceptwithin the walls of very dark honeymoon suites. A . Take, for instance, the Playboy issue lastyear which featured Latoya Jackson (Michael's ex-little sis). The wholly unwholesome pictorial featured poorLatoya forced to lay buck-naked with bloated breasts and a huge python (Hugh Hefner later felt bad andgave her a few hundred thousand dollars). This is likely to make stupid women give themselves home-silicon jobs and fondle giant reptiles. And worse yet, it makes us sexist-supremacist-and-generally-horny- males expect womenwith big boobs and even bigger snakes to stumble into our lives and hottubs. I know, I'm already ruined. It's too late for me. Those ripped centerfold pages we used to findwhen I was in junior high have turned me into the women-hating, twisted freak I am today. In fact, if I findan intelligent woman, I'll probably beat her brutally â€” and it's all your fault, Hugh, you vicious bastard.

There haven't been anygood witch-hunts lately and the reactionary feminist/moral minority camp could use a seriousadrenalin release. This isn'tjustamodern problem.

While she's not immediately naked, we all know what lies beneath that cute Italian blouse, and besides she's not doing anything beyond sitting there, looking submissive and dumb.This gives society the idea all women should wear Italian clothes and strike passive poses. This couldeventually put the U.S. textile industry under and make all men idealize dumb, quiet Illustration by Garth Mix women.

Yes, I was there with my ear-lobes decked out with my mom's assorted religiousmedallions and my waver haircut covering three-fourths of my pre-pubescent face. With the help of MTVand KYYX, this was also the year I discovered the one thing that wasn't synonymous with a "passingphase" â€” U2. Something about the song "New Year's Day" with lead singer Bono crooning, "I want tobe with you night and day," made me want to get one of my first album s, War. From the days of pilingon my sister's make-up and hanging out at 7-11,1 discovered my favorite band. With War, U2 broughtme music I could rebel with and for the first time I felt like I knew exactly what my cause was. This band believed in freedom. This band believed in love. And for that period in my live, I felt this band believed inme. The album's first cut, "Sunday, Bloody Sunday," questions the practicality of war. Bono sings,"And the battle's just begun. There's many lost, but tell me who has won? The trenches dug within ourhearts, and mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart" With the Edge's machine gun guitar, AdamClayton's pulsating bass and drummer Larry Mullen Jr's driving rhythms, the band comes across like anarmy. BLAST FROM THE PAST And they should sound this way, for U2 has seen the battlefirsthand. The band's homeland, Ireland, is plagued with revolution, which often goes unnoticed by themedia. Yet, in War, U2 expresses the fears both the Irish population and other war-torn countries faceeveryday. In "Like a Song," U2 confronts the horror of revolution, "And we love to wear a badge, auniform, and we love to fly a flag. But I won't let others live in hell, as we divide against each other, andfight amongst ourselves." In this album I heard the courage to stand up for your beliefs, whether it bein yourself, your country or your religion. U2 is believable. Lou Reed said, "U2's not a pop group. Theyare in this for real." And from the beginnings of the band in 1976, U2 realized then-style involved muchmore than music. About their early acts, manager Paul McGuinness said, "They were very bad, but itwasn't the songs that were the attraction. It was the energy and commitment to performance. Bonowould run around looking for people to meet his eyes." In essence, Bono and the band were looking forus all to get a grasp on reality. Through War, I learned there were much more important things in lifethan my 14 year-old concerns about the pimple on my forehead. The power of love is anotherimportant theme on the album, as addressed in "Drowning Man." I remember Bono promising me, "Takemy hand, you know I'll be there if you can I'll cross the sky for your love. And I understand these windsand tides, this change of times won't drag you away." O.K.,Iknowhe wasn'tpromis-ing ME this, althoughin "Gloria"(off the second album October) he did say if he had anything he'd give it to me â€” Uh huh,yeah right! The album ends with the sing along anthem "40." "40," along with other cuts from War,October and Boy are available on the concert album Under a Blood Red Sky. In concert is where theband's passions take shape. But the album struck something deeper with me â€” it seemed tominimize all the concerns I had about being a freshman in high school, and heighten a new awareness of my own personal freedom.

Jason Tromsness, the 1990 Outstanding Graduate of theTheater/Dance department, sat center-stage in the Old Main Theater making his own sounds on anacoustic guitar while he waited for the sound system to be restored during a "We're Not Your Mother"rehearsal. "We're Not Your Mother" is a performance group he and his friends began which does tenminute experimental dialogues incorporating music, art and poetry. Tromsness isn't quite sure whyhe was recognized as Outstanding Graduate. Taking six years to complete a degree at Western is not a sign of a student extraordinaire, Tromsness said. "I think it's their (the Theater/Dance department)way of telling me it's time to go," he said with a half laugh. "It feels good and I feel like I've maybe left amark here somehow. I think maybe they think I gave the greatest service to the department. That isappreciated but other students, like these guys, deserve it just as much as me," he said as two of his"Mother" cohorts walked into the theater. "I have to thank everything to the wisdom of Bob Dylan,"Tromsness said explaining that George Mount, one of the "Mothers" introduced him to Dylan. "He sayseverything about the human condition in his lyrics." Acting is all about the human condi- â€¢ tion.Tromsness favors being a character actor. "You can show people what they're like and maybe influencethe way they continue to behave," Tromsness said. Acting is an outlet for the powers of observation, hesaid. "Everybody observes what is around them but they don't know what to do with what they learn. Anactor attempts to use every experience to relate to the real world." Playing the villain in a show issomething Tromsness likes but not because .people remember the bad guy. "People don't think theycould ever be a rapist or a murderer but all you have to do is scratch a little off the surface of yourselfand you find you have it in you somewhere," he said. "It is scary but kind of fulfilling. It's like therapy and you don't have to pay for it." Hiding behind characters, costumes and masks is what makes the stageattractive to Tromsness, but hiding is not what he does when it comes to his role within the theaterdepartment. Two months have not gone by when he wasn't involved in a production. He has participatedin approximately 70 shows during his career at Western. Acting is not his only talent. He does a lotof the technical work too. Building and designing sets, costuming, mask- Besides being wanted he willbe allowed to teach classes as well as study there. In the third year of study at USC, master'sstudents attendFoldger's Shakespearean Theater in Washington D.C. to polish their professional acting skills. Teaching theater at university level is Tromsness' career goal. He wants to experienceprofessional theater first so he can bring expertise to the students. He admires many of Western'sTheater/Dance department faculty. "From what I've heard and experienced, this is the best bachelor ofarts program in the state. The faculty and staff teach you by letting you sink or swim. If you have anexperimental idea, they give you the opportunity to make it real. They are knowledgeable and I owe all Iknow about acting to them," Tromsness said. College was not on Tromsness' agenda really love thisplace. It's a family and it is really productive. making and sound are all components of his theatricaleducation. Tromsness will be staying at Western to perform in Summer Stock productions throughAugust 11. But then he won't be hanging around in the Western limelight. He begins his masters program in fine arts at University of South Carolina (USC) on August 20. He was nominated to go to theEducational Regional Theater Auditions (ERTA), where college-age actors have the opportunity tobe seen by university theater recruiters, repertoire theater groups and summer theaters. Tromsnessreceived many offers but chose USC for several reasons. "They really seemed to want me. Instead ofgoing to Rutgers or Indiana University where they'd take me or leave me, I figured I'd go where I waswanted," he said. â€” Jason Tromsness once his dream of a football career was ruined after a work-related knee injury forced him to grope for other alternatives. During high school he was in a rock 'n' rollband and worked part-time. He took an acting class and was encouraged by teachers to continue. "I dothis because it's all that's left," he said jokingly. "I was lousy at building fences and digging ditches, Icould play the guitar but wasn't right for the band's image so I sold all my musical equipment and paidfor my first quarter at Western. "I'm sure I haven't used the time (at Western) wisely ... who does?"Tromsness said. He is also sure he loves what he does and his experience in Western's Theater/ Dance department was something he won't regret. "I really like this place. It's a family and it is reallyproductive. It's going to be hard to leave." $ ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 9 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 The Western Front 9 Outstanding graphics by Randall By Julie Davisson staffreporter Five years of hard work has paid off for Western senior Scott Randall. On top of graduating witha Bachelor of Arts this spring, Randall has been selected as Outstanding Graduating Senior for the ArtDepartment. Randall, a studio art major with a concentration in graphic design and illustration andcomputer graphics, said the recognition came as a surprise because he didn't even know what it was.Kristi Lundstrom of the Alumni Office said each department chooses, based on their own criteria, onegraduating student to receive the award. Selection is not necessarily based on grade point average, buton, "what type of student they've been, what they've accomplished and how they've accomplished it,"Lundstrom said. Randall appreciates the recognition, but said, "it's weird to be singled out when youknow everybody's working just as hard as you are." Randall has puthis graphic design skills and talent to good use this year. He has worked at the computer lab in the Art Annex since September. "Computersare a really valuable resource," he said. He said he has learned a lot through his work there, and it hasprovided some valuable experience. In addition to the job, Randall spent time both fall and winter quarters designing posters for Associated Student events and films. Randall designed the posters for suchcampus films as, "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid," "Decline of Western Civilization" (parts one and two) and"Variety." Randall also designed the Accentlogo fortheFront, which is currently in use. This quarterRandall is working on the Klipsun staff as a graphic designer. "(Working on Klipsun) is a greatopportunity for someone in my position," he said. Randall said the experience has made him realize heenjoys working.on publication layout and it will provide valuable resume and portfolio material. Randallsaid having a good portfolio is more important than the degree upon leaving the Art Department. Aftergraduation, Randall and a friend, Liz Johanson, are planning to setup a studio in Seattle and beginfreelance work. "It's a bit scary walking out the door and not knowing (exactly what's ahead)," he said. A dessert and beverage celebration for all outstanding graduating seniors is scheduled for 7 p.m. on June15 in the Viking Union Lounge. President Mortimer and faculty from each department will speak andawards will be given. Paul Turpin Musician plays trombone, reggae By Shirley Mullin staff reporterThe 1990 Outstanding Graduate of the Year award "honors the student who is the best, not necessarilythe one with the highest GPA," said Kristie Lundstrom, staff member of the Alumni Office. The musicdepartment has selected Paul Turpin as its graduate of the year. "I'm honored," said Turpin of his award."There are a lot of surprisingly talented people in this department." Lundstrom said an outstandinggraduate is chosen by every department and each department sets their own criteria for the award.Dr. Mary Terey-Smith, faculty member in the music department said the depart-mentlooks for acombination of things. The first factor was general standing in General University Requirement classes."Paul has a very high general standing," Terey-Smith said. The second factor is individual development at Western. Terey-Smith said Turpin is "active in many areas â€” he plays the trombone quite well,and also is a composer." David Wallace, faculty member in the music department, said the department was encouraged by Turpin's development while at Western. "The music department is fortunate in thatit has a variety of students talented in various areas," said Wallace. Turpin is active in both composingand performing. Paul Turpin The final factor in choosing the outstanding graduate of the year is thestudents service to the department. Turpin participated in ensembles and orchestra, said Terey-Smith. This is the category where creative ability is important, said Wallace. Turpin will receive hisdouble-major bachelor's degree in Music Composition and Trombone Performance and plays keyboardson the Bellingham-based reggae band Jumbalassy (formerly the Almighty Dread). "All-together thesefactors placed Paul high in the standings," said Terey-Smith. Turpin will be entering Western's mastersprogram in musical composition next year in the fall. "Things have been going real well with Jumbalassy, which would have kept me up in Bellingham anyway," said Turpin. Turpin will also be helping out with anew electronic music studio for the music department, which will be ready for use in the fall. CurrentlyTurpin is in the process of producing a Jumbalassy record which the band recently recorded at GothamCity recording studio in Vancouver, B.C. Turpin said he hopes to have a Jumbalassy single out in threeweeks. Turpin gained experience in musical production from time spent at the Fairhaven recordingstudio. "I really like producing," Turpin said. "It takes a combination of all the talents (musiccomposition, music performance and audio recording techniques) I have been trying to learn here atWestern for the past five years." Turpin hopes to eventually complete his doctorate in music composition but says a little time off is in order after getting his masters out of the way. The 1990 OutstandingGraduates of the Year will be honored with a dessert celebration June 15, said Lundstrom. A facultyhost will introduce each graduate with a speech on why the department chose the student. The studentsfamily is invited to attend. The outstanding graduates will be awarded a certificate at the dessertcelebration. The honor will also be written on the commencement program. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Western Front News Friday, June 1,1990 AS budget cuts eliminate some programs By MarkSabbatini staff reporter Final recommendations for next year's Associated Students budget proposeeliminating several programs and AS staff positions, after shortages occurred because of expectedlower student enrollment. The budget allocates $120,480 less than the $1.1 million requested and theAS has a deficit of $10,000, AS treasurer Bob Visse said. The hardest blows were to the Faculty/Course Evaluation Program, the monthly environmental publication The Planet and staff funding for the newEthnic Student Center, which were all cut. In addition, eight AS Productions positions were eliminated,including assistants who post flyers and handle other promotional duties. Visse said increasing revenues through higher prices or cutting discount rates at the student bookstore may be considered, althoughhe would prefer other alternatives. The cuts are necessary because the AS received $80,000 less thanexpected because student enrollment is lower than expected, said AS president Kent Thoelke. Twoproposals were submitted by the AS at the Service and Activities Fee Split Committee, whichrecommended how $85 out of each student's tuition should be divided between the AS, the Departmently Related Activities Committee (DRAC) and Housing and Dining. The first, proposing to cut DRAC'sbudget, was defeated because of a heavy turnout of DRAC supporters. Thoelke said he felt the cut' would have been justified. "The reason for that proposal was the fact that the DRAC proposals were a mess,"he said. "They were hard to read, they had deficits running and I didn 't feel it was appropriate to give them the same amount of money when they were running deficits." A second proposal by Thoelke tocut Housing and Dining's budget by .03 percent was also defeated. The SA committee voted to carryover last year's budgets with proportional increases to each budget. Almost all organizations asking formore money than last year received it, said Christine Hart, AS vice president for Internal Affairs.However, few received what they asked for. We're not going to spend that much money to put thefacility in and then not operate the program. Kent Thoelke, AS President The strongest protest of theproposed budget came from supporters of the Ethnic Student Center, whose $42,000 administrativebudget was eliminated since it is anew organization. However Thoelke said funding will be availablesomehow by the time the center is scheduled for completion in November. "We're not going to spendthat much money to put the facility in and then not operate the program," he said. Funding for ThePlanet was eliminated, Thoelke said, because the AS felt DRAC should support it. "The budgetcommittee decided that students in The Planet were receiving credit from Huxley College and Huxleywas deriving most of the benefits from the program itself, and because of that it was more a department related activity than an Associated Students activity," he said. Sara Olason, editor of The Planet,said it would take a year for DRAC to put the magazine in it's budget and expressed concern for whatwould happen during that year. Hart mentioned the possibility of funding the publication for one year ona "sunset" basis, with publication ceasing if DRAC does not fund it. Cuts to AS Production staff will becrippling, said next year's AS Vice President for Activities Moria Hopkins, because of changes alreadymade in personnel structure. Stanton Continued from page 1 was driving the oncoming car. Accordingto the State Patrol report Stanton was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and was driving a1981 Yamaha 750. Stanton's roommate, Todd Rutherford, was accompanying him on his ownmotorcycle. Rutherford, a senior majoring in manufacturing, was escorting Stanton to the Southern tipof Chuckanut Drive to see him off on a Memorial Day weekend trip. "He was going on a trip to EasternWashington. I loaned him my helmet because it was a much better helmet than his," Rutherford said.Rutherford, who was in front of Stanton when the accident occurred, said they had been driving at thespeed of 60 to 65 mph at the time of the accident and the oncoming car tried to get out of the way. "Iwas about 30 feet in front of him," Rutherford said. "I saw the whole thing in the rearview mirror. "When Ifirst saw the accident I thought, 'this is really going to ruin his weekend,'" Rutherford said. "I reallythought he was alive." Rutherford only knew Stanton six months, but he said it was more than enoughtime to really get to know him. "When you met Jamie, you either loved him or hated him,"Rutherford said. "Most people loved him." "Where ever he went a good time followed him," said AnitaM. Poor, Stanton's girlfriend of two months and a junior majoring in environmental studies. "I'm still inshock.

People who throw clubs arethe ones who give golf a bad name.

Golf ... it's a gentleman's game. Arnold Palmer,Republicans, yellow slacks and Cadillacs â€” how does one define it? Golf is not just a sport... it's apassion. A passion that breeds deep in the heart of every red-blooded American. No other sport offers the peace and serenity that golf does. It's just you and nature (grass, trees, sand and water) out there on the course. It could very well be the fastest growing sport in America today. Soon, everyone will be flockingto their local course in search of that perfectround... scratch golf. That ever elusive perfect round is whatbrings most golfers out to the pourse at the crack of dawn, day after day. People go about attempting tomaterialize this dream in different ways, whether it be by playing with a set of $1000 Pings or studying aJack Nicklaus golf instructional video. Just as there are many different ways of obtainingthatperfectround, so to are there many different interpretations of the perfect round. For some, it's justthe dream that someday they will break 100 (on a par 72 course), for others it's the hope that one daythey will play a round without losing any balls. Yet, in the end, after that one-hundredth bucket of ballshave been hit and that last series of lessons have been completed, few are any better than when theyfirst started. This is the beauty of golf. It really doesn't matter how good you are, in fact those golfers thatare lacking in skill usually have a better time while playing it. It's those people who take the game tooserious â€” swearing and throwing their clubs â€” that give golf and golfers a bad name. There's nothingquite like four friends, a case of cheap beer and a golf course to waste away a sunny spring day. Whenyou think about it, golf may be the only equal opportunity sport in the world. No other sport allows menand women to compete together fairly and what's great about golf is that there is no need for competitionanyway. Golf is a relaxing sport to be enjoyed by all; rarely does it need to get serious. Many businessdeals have been finalized on the golf course and many presidential and congressional decisions havecome about during a round of golf, but nothing can compare to playing with a few friends. There's nothingquite like four friends, a case of cheap beer and a golf course to waste away a sunny spring day. It's atime when a few friends can spend some quality time bonding together or working out their problems.So on the next sunny day, call a few friends, grab the hickory sticks and hit the course for a round ofterrible golf and some quality bonding.

What you get is Ray Townsend's racingcar, number 77. Townsend is a senior studying history and races his car every Saturday from the endof March through the end of September at Evergreen Speedway located at the Evergreen StateFairgrounds in Monroe. "I've been going to car races since I was a week old and started racing four years ago," Townsend said. Townsend bought his car for $150 and estimates it is now worth $5,000. Theentire car had to be changed to make it into a race car. A special racing seat was installed and thedashboard was replaced with a sheet of steel. Only the necessary gauges were left, such as the oilpressure, water temperature and tachometer. "The car has a standard transmission three speed andthe engine is a 351 Windsor," he said. "The goal is to get as much weight as possible on the left sidebecause of the turns on the track." Townsend races in the bombers class, which originally was for street cars with minor changes. However people made more and more changes, so the cars were more likeracing cars than street cars. Townsend's racing team, T and B Racing, is comprised of his father,brother-in-law and one pit crew member. "My dad provides the money and my brother-in-law racesanother car." The races begin at 7 p.m. with opening heats determining which cars will be entered intothe main events. The heat races are eight laps and Townsend said usually 10 cars are in each heat andthere is a good balance between the faster and slower cars. There are three main events- a 15, 20 and25 lap race. Townsend has never won a main event yet he still looks forward to the races and isoptimistic about going every weekend. "I like the competition and the challenge," he said. This year, out of six events, the heat and the main race, Townsend has finished 11 times in the top 10 and six timesin the top five. Townsend's average lap speed is 62 m.p.h. and said his high speeds are around 85m.p.h. We're Fighting For Your Life.

The pride that guys take in theirintramural sports T-shirts. I've never seen anything like it before. These shirts get more wear and use then your first pair of Ray-Ban sun-glasses got. Or, when after months of saving, you finally got your mountain bike. Or, remember back in high school and that first varsity letter? Even the letterman's jacket wasn'tquite the same. Sure, you used them all until you thought they were going to wear out, rot or break, butthe similarities end there. Nope, college is the big time, and an intramural T-shirt means you 're the bestof the best that quarter in some sport, and dammit if everyone isn't going to know it! In my four years atWestern, the graphics have stayed the same and only the colors of the shirts seemed to have changed. I have managed to make some observations: 1) Have you ever seen a girl wearing one? They must havethem. I know girls who could kick a lot of guys all over the court or field or pretty much anywhere. So whydon't they wear their shirts? It's a mystery. 2) Guys will wear their shirts no matter how old, how tight orhow ragged they look. I have a friend who won a shirt in 1986 when his softball team won that yearstournament. He still can be seen wearing it on especially bright sunny days when there's a lot of people(girls and intramural losers?) filling Red Square. It's faded, torn and basically pretty grungy looking, but the pride is apparent. Some guys shirts are so tight it almost looks ridiculous. I asked a male friend aboutthis and he said, "Well how else are you supposed to see the muscles?" Hmmmmm. 3) There are noboundaries to the extremes guys will go to get the prized shirt. One friend had just made it to the finals in the spring tennis competition. The next day was the big day, and he was sure he could win. Whathappened? He sprained his ankle. I mean really messed it up. It looked like a golf ball. But that didn'tmatter. He took plenty of Advil, wrapped the ankle H^^^^^^^^HH^^^^^^^^^^H "With Nutri/System, Ipermanently lowered my weight 126 lbs. I lowered my cholesterol, too."

Just take a look around at thelocal bars. Statistically, more of my dorm-residing male friends party on weekends with their shirts onthen in any other attire. I've been told it impresses their buddies and is a good way to kick up aconversation with the babes. 5)1 know guys that sleep in their shirts, play other unrelated sports in theirshirts and, when the shirt has been worn to the point that it has been reduced to a mere rag, use it towipe up beer spills.

SUPERCUTS ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Western Front OPINION Friday, June 1,1990 Removal of magazines denies student choiceWestern students are non-thinking machines who shouldn't be allowed to make personal choices. Right? That's the message the AS board sent on Tuesday when four of their members decided for 10,000 otherstudents to ban Penthouse, Playboy and Playgirl from the Student Coop bookstore. The board had noright to make that decision for the rest of us. The real issue isn't the pictures in the magazines, butrather the freedom of choice â€” the foundation of a democratic society. We don't want anyone deciding for us what to do. Censorship is wrong. If anyone objects to those magazines, they don't have to buythem. It's their choice. Or was. CHOICE is important. One year ago, thousands of Chinese students were denied the choice of democracy. On June 4, the Chinese government turned on its own young,opening fire and rolling its tanks over an estimated 1,000 of its most passionate, most hopeful, brightstars. Ev$h a^ear after the Tiananmen Square massacre, the horror continues^. Yesterday three formerhunger strikers, the only open critics of the government since the protest ended, disappeared and theirplanned news conference was canceled. Once taken, democracy is not easily returned. The AS boardseems to think differently. Jack Smith, adviser to the Board, said the AS could remove the magazinesnow and ask the students in a fall referendum if they want them put back. Chinese leaders probably think they are doing the best thing for their people. They're wrong, as is the board. The idea behind theStudent Co-op bookstore is that the students own it and profit from it. The students should be the ones to decided what is sold in their store. A basic freedom is being stripped from Western students. It's time todemand it back before it's lost altogether. The students in China protested and sacrificed their livesattempting to reclaim lost freedom. On a much smaller scale at Western, we must act to preserve ourpersonal rights as individuals. The AS's approval of this ban could begin a dangerous precedent of elitistdecision making. Students need to speak out and let the AS board know how they .feel. Tell them youstill have a brain and want to continue to use it. Call them, write them, stake out their offices and homes. Let them know there's no way Western students will let them start making personal choices for us.'VHHHBlMktti Kathy Tucker, editor; Linda Dahlstrom, managing editor, Sue LaPalm, news editor, KarenLane Hingston, assistant news editor; Kurt McNett, Accent editor; Charlotte Anderson, assistantAccent editor; Ed Treat, campus government editor; Matt Baunsgard, features editor; Deven Bellingar,sports editor; Darryl Carr, assistant sports editor; Theo Gross, copy editor; Leah Linscott, copy editor;Shannon Fowler, typesetter; Tyler Anderson, photo editor; Maria Manliclic, production chief; DeannaOttavelli, production chief; Garth Mix, illustrator; Pete Stelfens, adviser.

NlCEWOWaoANoFARC! 700 Wgt; YOU'LL NEVER GET APURPLE HEAKL CPS Do-wop-wop-wop Bigoted godfather needs backyard tour I Peter Donaldsonstaff reporter met a man last weekend who said with a laugh, "I only hate two things: racists andMexicans." This third-generation, Italian- American may one day be my sister's father-in-law and Idon't see how she can tolerate such bigotry. He reasoned that since Mexico was filthy, disease ridden,poor and economically backward it warranted his hate. I found his words so full of hypocrisy they mademe nauseous. I wondered if he had ever seen the Arno river in Florence, Italy. Muddy brown frompollution and erosion, with enough floating trash to fill a hundred garbage trucks, the river meandersthrough overcrowded, oil-stained streets. The Po river in Venice and the city's canals have ! becomenothing more than a cesspool of human waste. Granted Mexico has its problems, but areas of Mexicoare cleaner and more pristine than Italy will ever be. When speaking money, the peso is no doubt a weak currency, but the last time I checked the lire wasn't exactly a cornerstone of financial success either. Itmakes my head spin to try to understand a free-market economy and fluctuating exchange rates. Sowhen I traveled to Italy two years ago and cashed my dollars for lire, I found it was like trading gold for dirt. I was getting 1,000 lire to the dollar. It doesn't take brains to figure something is wrong here. Of coursethis man in question could claim his years The seed of discontent in the United States have removed him from Italy's problems and he is now a true-blue American. My argument would then seem pointless untilyou consider where he lives: Cleveland, Ohio. Parts of downtown Cleveland are a hell of a lot worse thanparts of Mexico. Just 20 years ago the Cuyahoga river caught fire from industrial pollution. Yes that'sright, a river on fire. Need I say more? He ruined what would have been an excellent dinner withdisgusting jokes about every ethnic group except Italians. I thought I'd enlighten him on the availability ofItalian jokes. Q. What do Italian machine guns sound like? A. Wop-Wop-Wop. I know it's not very funny, but it was the only one I knew. He didn't like it one bit. "I thought I'd have you sit next to me becauseyou looked the most intelligent Peter, now I'm not so sure," he said. Well, I can handle that, besides my point was made. I finished my dinner in frustrated anger. At least it was quiet, frustrated anger. In aworld struggling toward a fair share for everybody, it's people like this that keep us traveling in circles.Concentric circles that never cross. It's a good thing he's passed some of these quality traits on to hissons. I'm friendly enough and I definitely don't hold grudges, but I decided after my dinner was done that Ido hate one thing: people who are too gutless to look at themselves critically so they point their bigotedfinger at someone else. Bush administration rapes Bill of Rights T Chris Von Seggern staff reporterhe Bush administration's "war on drugs" isn't really a war on the drug problem. It's a war on your civilrights. Politicians, in their frenzy to look like they're actually concerned about drugs, are makingthemselves blue in the face throwing around neat-sounding terms like "zero tolerance." Narcoticsenforcement, agents are everywhere â€” with laws that punish legitimate behavior on the pretense ofdeterring drug trafficking. Agents arc peeking into windows, seizing boats, testing your urine and pryinginto every detail of your life. This rape of the Bill of Rights looks good on the TV news, but it isn't doing athing to discourage drug users or dealers. A law in Alexandria, Va. threatens up to two yearsimprisonment for people who loiter for a few minutes and exchange "small objects" with someone else.This may sound like a perfect description of a street-corner crack deal. Maybe it is. Unfortunately, it'salso a perfect description of a thousand routine transactions all of us make every day. Does it makesense to throw me in jail if Irun into a friend who owes me money on the street and collect on the debt?Speaking of collecting, the U.S. Coast Guard will be happy to collect your boat if they find even thesmallest amount of any illegal drug on board. They don't even care if the drug was in the possession ofthe boat's owner or not. So what this means is I could lose my yacht, assuming I had one, if I wentout on it for a weekend with some friends and one of them got caught with a single joint I didn't even know they had. Hell, not even as much as a joint â€” all it takes is a seed. I'm really glad the government isworking so hard to protect me from other people's casual drug use by seizing my property. Manyemployers have been requiring drug testing for several years. Now the high schools are getting into theact. According to USA Today, athletes and cheerleaders at a Birmingham, Ala. high school are now being forced to undergo testing as well. But there's one little problem with drug testing â€” it isn't 100 percentaccurate. Don't tell me losing my job because of a false test result doesn't violate my civil rights. All ofthese measures provide quick, easy "solutions" to a problem that runs much deeper in Americansociety than law enforcement. President Bush isn'treally interested in defeating the drug problem, just inlooking like he is so he can keep the public happy. I'm not fooled, and you shouldn't be either. Bush cancontinue to pour government funds into law enforcement until we're on the brink of economic collapse,but it won't solve the problem. The drug problem in America is a result of gaping deficiencies in oursociety which must be addressed before we will be able to leash the monster wreaking havoc in every part of the nation. Instead of enforcement, Mr. Bush might want to try putting more money into treatmentand education programs, or social programs to eliminate some of the societal problems which lead todrug abuse. It might be time to try (gasp!) legalization. It's obvious that attempting to control drugsthrough law enforcement isn't working. In any war, when your tactics aren't working, it's time for aswitch. It's high time we rethought the war on drugs. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 15 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 Letters The Western Front 15 Orwell never gt; wrote doubletalk Editor:Somebody may have called it "Doubletalk" at some point. But not George Orwell. Geez, there you guysare, with a gigantic library at your disposal, English profs coming out of your â€¢ ears, and you don'teven bother to look up one lousy reference? What am I supposed to tell my journalistic peers? Contraryto your May 15 editorial on capital punishment, Orwell didn't call it "Doubletalk." The only possiblesource of this erroneous quote ' is 1984. In that novel, Orwell coins "newspeak" and "doublethink." Youwon't find "Doubletalk," and if you do, I'll send you a brownie button. My dictionary gives 1936 as the date of coinage for "doubletalk," though it doesn't say whose pen scrawled it. y You wanna quote somebody, quote him right. Otherwise, make up your own terminology. Reporters have enough troubles beingaccurate as it is. It's been fun nagging you.

As a journalist, a teacher andan adviser, I admit I always nervously eye new student editors ambitious to make the paper more "fun."Some Western Front humorists have been marvelousâ€”notably Steve Johnson and Jack Broom, nowwith The Seattle Times. But those whose highest humor is giving the "hot foot" seldom make a papereither fun or funny. More often they make it into a joke. I was on campus again briefly at the end ofwinter quarter, and saw the closing issue. The Front carried a story under a wrong headline and thenrepeated it inside. I don't suppose the editor or any long-suffering staff member will put that page orpaper in their clip files. An editorship is a trust. A good editor can edit well and have fun. What can yousay to someone who sees the Front as a swell place "to make mistakes"? My compliments on thespring issues. R.E. Stannardjr.

This was her second year participating in the walk. "It's surprising to me that this(walk) is so easy for me, but this is so important. It's the family things that are the hardest on mebecause he's not there," Handerson said. Dec. 1 was annual World AIDS Day and brought peopletogether not just from Whatcom County but from all over the world. Walkers joined others at the churchand packed the pews. The ceremony included various speakers, all of whom have had personalexperiences with AIDS. Many spoke of family members lost to AIDS and the journey they went throughright up to the end of their, loved ones' lives. Other speakers talked about what it is like to live with HIVor AIDS on a daily basis.

BifciwIi^Bi^^pBiiB^illiliiHIIIIII NHNHHMHBH Demand for Western graduates increasingJ2 By Derrick Scheid The Western Front More employers are hiring Western graduates. The number of Western graduates in the class of 1997 who secured jobs in their field within three months of graduation increased, according to a yearly Career Services Center survey. "We're getting a sense that this pastyear is going to be even stronger," said Marcia Lewis, assistant director of Western's Career ServicesCenter. The average beginning salary for Western's class of 1997 increased by about $1,000 per year,Lewis said. "It's a very tight labor market, but on top of that, Western graduates have a very goodreputation," said Lewis, who helps organize the survey each year. According to a study by the NationalAssociation of Colleges and Other Still Seeking 4% 5% Continuing Education 13% EmployedSource: Career Services Center Front/Ben Stabler The data used to make this chart represents a55.3-percent response to the Career Center's 1997 survey.

Nearly50 percent of the employers See Careers, page 6 Patrons pay for stealing By Derrick Scheid TheWestern Front Little white lies, driving five miles per hour over the speed limit and stealing from thedining halls â€” does it really hurt anyone? "Students don't realize it's theft," said Viking CommonsManager Norry Yamashita. Every year, Marriott spends roughly $25,000 to replace silverware, dishesand chairs. More than half of this, about $5 per meal plan every year, goes toward replacing what isstolen. Marriott officials say taking food and other items from the three dining halls on campus raisescosts for students. "(Stealing) hurts the students," Yamashita said. "We're here to manage thestudents' money, and stealing only raises the cost (of meal plans)." Determining exactly how muchtaking food costs students is nearly impossible, but if Marriott were to switch its program to an all-you-can-take meal plan, the cost to students would triple, Yamashita said. "I would rather see foodtaken and eaten than see food wasted," said Kappa resident Mike Sullivan. In an attempt to keep costslow, Marriott places amnesty boxes in all of the residence halls at the end of each year for students toreturn stolen dishes, no questions asked. "It's amazing how much stuff is out there," Yamashita said. While many dishes are returned via the boxes, Yamashita said his biggest concern is all the dishes that get thrown away. "Students take dishes, then throw them away when they get dirty," Yamashita said."This really starts to add up." Many students complain about being hungry when the dining halls areclosed, but Yamashita said this is no longer a valid excuse with the extended hours of the dining halls.From 7 a.m. until 6:45 p.m. weekdays, at least one of the dining halls is open, except for half an hourbefore dinner. This year, Marriott even added the late-night hour at the Viking Commons from 9 p.m. to10:30 p.m. "The excuse of being hungry later doesn't slide," Yamashita said. The rule states thatnothing can be taken out of the dining halls, but Marriott officials have adjusted the policy to allowstudents to take ice cream cones or fruit they have already begun eating out of the commons. Otherschools, such as the University of Washington, have a system similar to flex or munch moneyprograms, that give students an allowance and requires them to pay for every item they take. Marriott has not considered adopting this system, but it is continuing to search for ways to rectify this problem. ---------- Western Front - 1998 December 4 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS December A, 1998 Campus Police: Nov. 24,12:06 a.m.: A vehiclewas reported damaged in the 500 block of South College Drive.

It was originally created in fall 1995 for the purpose of "increasing (the) utilization oftechnology in higher education" because "state-allocated funds are inadequate to meet theprojected technology needs of students." "We wouldn't have any of the (technology) we have todaywithout the Student Technology Fee/' said Associated Students Vice President for Academic AffairsVictor C. Cox. Students provide approximately $350,000 per year. The University annually provides$100,000, and Western Foundation provides $100,000 A.S. President Sarah Steves said. The fee isimposed on all full-time, on-campus students and may soon be replaced. The program must be re-implemented every four years with the approval of the Board of Trustees. The four years are up in 1999and there are three options for the STF Program: keep the program as it is, modify it or use thelegislative model as other state universities do. Under the current program, the STF Committee isresponsible for recommending allocations to the university president, but Karen Morse has the finaldecision. . The STFC is comprised of the A.S. vice president for Academic Affairs, who acts as thechair, A.S. vice president for Student Life, two students appointed by the A.S., vice provost forInformation and Telecommunication Services, a faculty representative from the Academic TechnologyCommittee and a faculty representative appointed by the Faculty Senate. According to literatureprovided by Cox, modifications to the program could change the source of the funding. Funds couldcome from the students alone, the university and students or Western Foundation and students. Theproposal process could also be modified. Adopting the legislative model would give final say about which proposals are accepted to the A.S. Board rather than Morse. However, funding from the university andWestern Foundation might disappear, and the student fee would increase. Student fees at other stateuniversities using the legislative model are much higher, Cox said: $40 at the University ofWashington and Washington State and $25 at Central Washington. The legislative model can also beabolished each year by the A.S. "That could be a downfall for an uninformed group," Cox said. The STFProgram provides new computer labs, upgrades, servers like Titan, as well as non-computer technology. With the STF program, students have a say about how their money is allocated, but unfortunatelythe opportunity is rarely taken advantage of, Steves said. Students and student groups may submitproposals for allocations of no less than $10,000, but only one such proposal has ever beensubmitted, she added. . Most proposals come from different departments for technology withinspecific departments, Cox said. The deadline is Jan. 29, 1999, and each proposal must include threesections. Section one is a project overview. Section two should describe the project in detail, how itmeets STF objectives and its impact on existing academic programs. Section three is a detailed, line-item budget. "That can be very intimidating for students," Steves said. In the last three years,$2,046,778 has been spent on everything from science work kits to projectors to new computer labs.Students provided 56 percent of the funding â€” $1,156,213. Lack of student participation is greatly dueto the intimidating proposal process and a lack of student knowledge concerning the program, Stevessaid. Both Steves and Cox said they urge students to approach the A.S. for assistance with theprocess. "It can't hurt to try," Cox said. "Even if (a student proposal) gets turned down, at least it shows the University that (students) are using the program." Nessie, from page 1 Titan system. Folders, some tapes, log-ins and Pine address books may be converted to Titan before Nessie is retired. Galbraithsaid the main motivation for discontinuing Nessie at this point is that maintenance contracts are up atthe end of December. "It would be more expensive to keep Nessie than it is to get rid of it," he said.Log^ins will be shut down Dec/18, but the machine will be kept around for a while until ATTJS is satisfied that everything went well, Galbraith said.

AIDS is spreading exponentially among women, people of color, I.V.drug users and young people between the ages of 18 and 25. Allsopp stated that as of December 1996,more than eight-million cases of AIDS have been reported worldwide, resulting in 6 million deaths. Ithas been estimated that approximately 750,000 individuals in the United States and 23 million individuals throughout the world are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Allsopp informed the audiencethat 700 people in Whatcom County are currently infected with AIDS. "I could just stand here and tellyou all of these numbers and not tell you what it means to me. We each have to figure out what it means to each one of us," Allsopp said. "It means to me that this is a world epidemic; its pandemic. It's not just Whatcom County; it's not just Seattle; it's not just Washington; it's not just the United States ... It's allof us â€” it's a plague." After the speeches were over, people lined up and walked to the front of thechurch to light candles in memory of people who died from AIDS or are still battling the disease. Eachperson placed their lit candles in a container filled with sand while saying the names of loved ones whoare infected with HIV or AIDS. A string quartet played music during the candlelight vigil. Approximately40 candles burned brightly as people shared a moment of silence to remember those who have lost theirlives to AIDS. "The candles represent more than these lives. They represent the spirit of love and hope all over the world," said Heather Lynn Hanson, interim minister of the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship. "Let us not let these lights go out in our memories and in our hearts. So as you leave today, carry the lightswithin your heart, and share it with others." After the AIDS vigil, many gathered to talk about each other'sexperiences and to give one another support and understanding. "(The vigil) was a lot more emotionalthan I had expected. I didn't expect to be drawn into it as much as I had/' said 23-year-old Westernstudent Bruce Goodings. "Just hearing people's names being mentioned and seeing the candles lit andeverybody going up definitely made me stop and think of the people who I have known and know of thatare dealing with AIDS. It made the whole ceremony a lot more personal." DOWNTOWN JOHNNYS ^ l i ^ i M M K !

The Huxley team focused on the culturalimplications of. the 190-acre clear-cut proposal and its effects on forests and streams. AlthoughHuxley's team said the proposed timber harvest should not take place, it expressed the fact that clear-cutting is an inevitable part of our culture. Nature is an essential part of Lummi culture. If these sightsare cleared, the purity of the place is ruined and they will not be able to carry on their traditions, saidTom Edwards from the Lummi Nation Natural Resources Department. "A lot of our resources are dying,and the native people are going to perish if we continue to take more than we have," Edwards said. "We, the Lummi people from Snohomish, Skagit, Nooksack and Whatcom counties, are spreading the wordof the impact from the clear-cut proposal." The Huxley team consisted of nine Western studentsbelonging to the Huxley College of Environmental Studies. Members included Jennifer Goodhart, BrianAtwood, Marc Beaiidreau, Shawn Boeser, Ken Charm, Kate Cox, Jill Olson, Heather Romano andRebecca Schlender, with the advisement of professor Lynn Robbins and William Summers. TheWashington State Department of Natural Resources proposed to clear-cut 190 acres of forest in theLake Whatcom Watershed. The harvest plan included three units near Austin Creek â€” a major tributary to Lake Whatcom. The clear-cut is expected to yield eight-million board feet of timber, which will havean adverse effect on forest growth. This in turn will increase sedimentation in area streams, increasing stream temperature and water levels, the assessment plan states. This is a part of DNR's 60-yearharvest plan, which brought many citizens to the open forum last night. The students proposed analternative to clear-cutting, which is to have partial-cutting or random removal of individual trees.Activists, community members and interested students questioned the team's findings and voicedtheir own opinions about the impact of clear-cutting. The Austin Flats and areas near the proposedlogging activity are a sight of cultural significance for the Lummi people. The Austin Flats is used byyoung Lummi men to go on their vision-quests. "We go into an isolated place where we only drink spring water, eat grasses, berries and roots," Edwards said. "We are one with ourselves and nature. This ishow we receive our vision." Besides the quests, the land is utilized for trails and contains pet-roglyphs,which are Native American rock carvings and paintings. Some of these are more than 500 years old,Edwards said. "Clear-cutting in a watershed is not a good idea," EIA lead editor Heather Romano said."The people here are most concerned because of it being part of the 60- year plan. They areconcerned with the cumulative effects." Sudden Valley resident Jamie Berg got involved in the AustinFlats issue because her home is directly in the path of possible debris flow if the proposed clear-cuttakes place. "This will not only affect my Whatcom â€¢-â€¢ I â€¢ " I II ' Propos^^tf|yrest Areas Frontgraphic/Ben Stabler The Austin Flat proposal discussed at Tuesday's forum includes clear-cutting 190acres in the Austin Creek Sub-basin area. family and the quality of our lives," Berg said. "It will alsoaffect the quality of life of the watershed as a whole due to the fact that clear-cutting separatestributaries that cause erosion, which decreases water quality." To Ken Charm, the EIA cultural-featuresspecialist, it is an all-or-nothing issue. "In terms of cultural effects, the way the Lummi Nation uses theland â€” any forest cut, whether it is a partial-cut or a clear-cut, any cut at all is going to alter the waythey (Lummi) can use the land," Charm said. "Based on the cultural problems, we make a preferredrecommendation that no cutting takes place at the Austin Flats."

Gov.Gary Locke's Commission on the Future of Higher Education released its final report on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The report outlines how to support the increasing demand for post-secondary education. The 21-member commission, appointed by Locke, spent nine months devising what it believes to be a viablevision of higher education through the year 2020. "This was a very serious attempt to imagine what theeducation system will be in the next 20 years," Western Provost Dennis Murphy said. The reportestimates that by the year 2020 Washington's post-secondary education system will need to support100,000 more learners than it is presently serving. Most of this increase will be seen in the next 10 years, said Judy McNickle, the legislative liaison for Western. "That is roughly nine Western(-sized) universities in a decade," McNickle said, adding that it is not in the state's best advantage to build nine newcampuses in 10 years. The 2020 commission agrees and suggests that existing public institutions findnew ways to stretch capacity, such as offering classes into the evenings and on the weekends. Thisexplosion in demand for post-secondary schooling is driven partially by demographics, the report said.Some uncertainty is involved when looking at a long-term participation forecast based on demographicprojections, said Jay Teachman, a Western sociology professor. "When looking at demographicprojection, we know how many people are physically available to go to college; what we aren't certainabout is how many will enroll," Teachman said. The commission's report argues that in the next 20 years our economy will become more knowledge-based, meaning that good jobs will require higher levels ofskill and knowledge than in the past. Commission members recommend that post-secondary educationbe a higher priority in the state budget. Administrators at Western agree and hope the governor andlegislature take a serious look at funding for post-secondary education. "Education is an investmentinto the future, and if you 'X^nnnn 300000 250000 200000 150000 100000 50000 o â€¢ | Hm HMI^m ^H ^1 ^H â€¢â€¢ ^H ^ 1 ^M ^1 ^^| â€¢ ^^H ^^H 1998 2010 2020 Front graphic/Ben Stabler â€¢Demand Due to Knowledge Based Economy a Demand Due to Population Growth â€¢ Demand Due toKnowledge Based Economy 32000 Source: 2020 Commission don't invest in the investment you have aminus return in the future," said Bradley Smith, dean of Huxley College of Environmental Studies. "Weare a state-funded university without which we would not even exist," Murphy said. The commission didnot determine how to fund changes but did make suggestions about how to cut costs. Onerecommendation is to move students who learn faster through the system faster. The commissionsuggests allowing more high school students to earn college credits, and to reduce duplication classesfrom other institutions. Some say moving a student through the education system as fast as possiblerobs them of the opportunity to explore their options. "If the legislator had its way, you would elect yourmajor the minute you walked on campus and would not be allowed to change it," said Marie Eaton, deanof Fairhaven College. Commission members say strong resources, such as advisement and information,will allow students to make better choices about higher education. It also suggests four-year institutionswork more closely with community colleges. A common goal among administrators at Western, is just that â€” to maintain a better bridge of communication with prospective Vikings coming directly out ofcommunity colleges. "Transfer students by definition come to us with all their GURs fulfilled," saidPeter Elich, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, "yet several transfers come unprepared." "At atwo-year college you don't really focus on a four-year degree; you focus on an Associates of Arts degree, which isn't too specific," Western junior Erik Christensen said. President Karen Morse and presidentsfrom other public and independent colleges and universities have vowed to work with commission leaders, the governor and legislators to "expand the dialogue about this report and begin taking the necessarysteps to implement its recommendations," Morse said in a press release. "It is estimated thatimplementations of the report would cost more than one billion dollars," Morse said. "Clearly it cannot beimplemented unless we all commit to its objectives and work together over a sustained period of time."So what happens next? "It is too soon to tell," McNickle said. People are still looking it over. "Whathappens to (the commission's report) depends, in part, on how actively the persons who wrote and thegovernor pursue it," McNickle said.

The raw numbers of students graduating from high school andcommunity college prepared for further education has risen, said John Swiney, associate director ofadmissions at UW. This growth has had a significant effect on the UW's applicant pool, Swineysaid. In fall of 1998, UW denied 1,573 resident freshman admissions, compared with 1,000 five yearsago and less than 400 eight years ago, Swiney said. To narrow down applicants, UW has increased itsstandards for admissions, forcing students to apply somewhere else, Swiney said. That somewhere ismore likely Western than public universities east of the Cascades, Registrar Joe St. Hilaire said. Hespeculates that part of its appeal is the location. Enrollment growth during the last nine years shows that something is attracting students to Western. Enrollment is at an all-time high of 11,655, up from 9,500in 1989, St. Hilaire said. This enrollment growth has created a bit of a problem in that the number ofstudents is increasing more rapidly than structural support, said Western Provost Dennis Murphy.This is the reason for increased use of classroom space in the afternoon and evening, Murphy said.Like UW, Western has also seen a steady increase in freshman applicants during the last five years;however, transfer applicants at Western and statewide have been decreasing until just this year,Admissions Director Karen Copetas said. Western's Office of Admissions already seeing an increase intransfer applicants, so admissions is becoming more competitive. To narrow down prospectivetransfers, Copetas said she is beginning. to look for major preparation. "It seems there is still anassumption that you get your GURs or (Associate of Arts) and then worry about your major," Copetassaid. Washington State's enrollment has not been quite as steady as Western's. In fall of 1998,Washington State had a 20-percent increase in freshman applicants from last year, compared toWestern's 1.3-percent increase and UW's 10-percent increase. The university has been preparing forenrollment growth, Registrar Dave Guzman said. Washington State has seen enrollment and freshman applicants decrease over the last few years, so the large pool of freshman applicants this fall waswarmly welcomed, Guzman said. "Right now we are comfortable with the growth in enrollment andare willing to take more," Guzman said. Both Central and Eastern are ready to take more students aswell. Eastern has about 7,700 students on its campus this fall. It can easily accommodate 9,000, ---------- Western Front - 1998 December 4 - Page 7 ---------- December 4, 1998 THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 From Funky ?o fine* Rainbow Jambo Candles^ixtH^I/{/(ult;e Teapots Great Gifts at the Co-op Foorco-oP 1220 N.

So unless theplan is do all the shopping the day before Christmas, overdraw the checking account and pray that richaunt Zelda doesn't make bright-red footy PJ's for all the nieces and nephews, it might be wise to startthinking along the lines of a creative and inexpensive gift. Here are a few ideas to get the brain churningfrom the creative mind of Glenda Curdy, a weekend crafter. A handmade gold or silver leaf pictureframe is simple and inexpensive to make, yet the finished product looks rich and classy. To make it, find a wood or plastic picture frame of the desired size and style. The thrift shop is a great place to hunt forsomething like this. Buy a gold- or silver-leaf kit at Michaels Arts and Crafts, and you're in business. A gold- or silver-leaf kit cost less than $10 at Michaels and will cover about five seven-by-11-inch frames.The estimated time for the project is two to four hours, which includes dry time between base coat,adhesive and the optional sealer. Give a gift from the kitchen with Curdy's Chinese walnut recipe. Thesetasty treats are similar to honey roasted peanuts but are made with walnuts. One batch makes aboutfour cups of walnuts, minus a few for taste testing. For gift-giving, simply put Chinese walnuts inplastic zipper bags, or for a more creative packaging idea, try decorating an old peanut can withholiday paper and stickers. The cost of this project is less than $10 and estimated preperation time istwo hours. Personalize a Christmas ornament for a friend or family member by doing it yourself. Simplybuy a plain, glass Christmas ball for 99 cents at Michaels â€” clear, frosted or colored of the ands Oeart will work â€” a gold or silver paint pin, about $3, and ultra-fine glitter, about $2. Write a personalmessage on the ball or draw an abstract design with the paint pen. While the paint is still wet, sprinkleultra-fine glitter over it and shake away excess. If using a clear or frosted ball, try filling it with tinsel.Estimated time for this project is less than one hour. Here is another simple gift idea that is inexpensive. While grocery shopping, pick up two jars of your favorite jam or jelly. Cut out a square of Christmasfabric to put over the lid of the jar and tie it on with some twine or ribbon. Next comes the part thatmakes this gift a little more unique. In a little plastic bag, put enough biscuit mix to make a singlebatch and tie it to the jar of jam with the recipe for biscuits. For a more personal touch to this gift, makeyour own jam or jelly. If looking for a gift for a fellow Western classmate, here is an idea. Try covering amemory book with a Western T-shirt. Materials you will need include a Western T-shirt, glue gun, gluesticks, thin cotton batting and a memory book. Cover the book as you would cover any other book withpaper and use the hot glue gun to secure. Mod Podge is also fun to work with. It's tacky glue that dries with a nice smooth finish. Mod Podge is perfect for making collages â€” no more peelingpictures or fading colors, just a smooth, p r o f e s s i o n a l - once you gets started you will be ModPodging everything, Curdy said. A small bottle of Mod Podge sells for $2.69 at Michaels and will coveran area of several square feet. For an even smoother finish, use a sealer. It comes in a spray can andsells for about $5. To put that finishing touch on that homemade gift, here are some packaging ideas. Take a sheet of news print, large enough to wrap your present in, and sponge-paint stars and Christmas trees to make creative wrapping paper. Another idea is to paint and decorate a cardboard box withacrylic paint, stamps, stencils and stickers. Plain cardboard boxes of all shapes and sizes are be foundat Michaels. Prices range from $1 to $8 depending on the size and style. Acrylic paints are 59 cents per tube, and an optional sealer is $4.29. The most important thing to remember when brainstormingcreative gift ideas is to really know the individual for whom you are making the gift.flHBtfBHMHHH^^p^can 8^^P^mHIMiHflllHHHibe used on l l l l S l B i B l i B l l B l l l B B I I B almost anysur- I ^ B ^ B ^ B I B i l l H I l l l l l l i l f a c e â€” mirrors, | ^ ^ H ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ l H H l H H R p i c t u r e frames,B l I I B l l i i i i i i ^ ^ ^ B K B I ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B B ^ B boxes and even ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ furnitureâ€” with â€¢ | | i | i | ^ ^ ^ i K ^ ^ P ^ ^ ^ J ^ ^ J ^ p whatever the ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B heartdesires, P ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ s u c h as pictures ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ S offriends and ^ S l ^ ^ ^ M H H H H I H ^ f f i H I family, cut-out H B l i ^ B B ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B picturesfrom last . ^ ^ S ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ f t year's Anne I p l ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B G e d d e s calendar, I J l i l i B B B B i i B i l ^ ^ l ^ p j B H B l magazine clip- I ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ S ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ pings, stickers, ^KK^^^^M^^^^^^^^S^^^O^IQ^YQS or dried ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ m ^ ^ ^ f H ^ ^ ^ flowers.f^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mod Podge is ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^M easy to work with ff^Si^M^^^^^S^^SM^^^^^^^S.and a lot of fun; Front/Jesse Kinsman Easy-to-make crafts are an inexpensive alternative to trendy,mall-bought presents. A triumph for By Scott LaMont The Western Front After the success ofDreamworks' computer-animated film, "Antz," and with anticipation building for its next animated feature,"The Prince of Egypt," Walt Disney Studios has something new to worry about â€” competition. ^1Luckily for the mouse house, Disney has Pixar Animation Studios as its secret weapon againstSpielberg-fueled Dreamworks. This comes in the form of "A Bug's Life," Pixar and Disney's latestcomputer-animated feature since the highly impressive "Toy Story" in 1995. "A Bug's Life" is truly a q-â€”. i. ,-- sight to behold.. ^"'^taf^ti T h i s T^'O^" fihr1 'takes computer animation to a new level in richly creating the world seen from the eyes of its smaj^ est inhabitants â€” the bugs. The story follows acolony of ants, feverishly spending every minute of the day collecting seeds and fruits for grasshoppers.The grasshoppers, it seems, have convinced this colony of ants that they were put on Earth for the solepurpose of serving the grasshoppers, a way of life that one ant wishes to challenge. His name is Flik(voiced by Dave Foley, "NewsRadio," " K i i | in the Hall"), a clumsy inventor who would do anything toimpress his colony and the beautiful Princess Atta (voiced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, "Seinfeld").

Just make sure to stick around ring the closingcredits for one of the funniest ideas to ever ce the animated world. The story is all too common â€” boyseeks job, company says no, boy publishes book ridiculing company. "J. Crewd" by Justin Racz cameabout just that way After failing an j interview with the popular cloth- J ing catalog, Racz was inspired toparody the trendy J. Crew. The book is set to look like the J. I Crew catalog with a few absurd changes.J. Crew and its models are an easy target for Racz's \ jokes. The J. Crew catalog, J received bythousands of col- | lege students every month, is about as realistic in its imagery 1 as a soap opera. The models lounge playfully about wearing their $200 sweaters smiling, as if they know something we don't."J. Crewd" pokes fun at those models and the products they are selling. Racz admits that he too ownsand likes J. Crew clothing, but that it was ripe for parody. "I would look around my college cafeteria andsee all the beautiful people wearing the same roll-neck J. Crew sweater," Racz said. Asked why hechose J. Crew, Racz said the catalog was impossible to ignore. He said J. Crew had become almost like his best friend appearing in his mailbox faithfully every month. And, Racz said, the lifestyle J. Crewportrays is absolutely hysterical. "Everyone is fabulously blond, fabulously happy, fabulously wealthyand fabulously unemployed," Racz said. "When you read the catalog you wonder, 'Why is everyonesmiling? Why is that guy having so much fun playing darts? Why are there two girls and a guy in akitchen holding a six-foot sub?'" Racz said. Racz's "J. Crewd" gives readers a chance to laugh atthemselves and their closets full of J. Crew clothing. "J. Crewd" offers products such as the layered look,called the "nine-in-one," for $208. "Trickle down to a T or bulk to a beefcake. Four layers on, five layers off. Seven layers on, two layers off. One layer on, eight layers off. Quite frankly we could really care lesswhat you do once we get your money," the description states. fashionably Crewd Generodity By DaveShepherd The Western Front It seems these days retailers can hardly contain the urge to put up aChristmas tree before Thanksgiving, but one has sprung up in Old Fairhaven that is more than justwindow dressing. Village Books has kicked off its Fifth Annual Giving Tree, in the hope of providing themagic of books to more than 600 underprivileged area children. It's a hol- â€¢ iday book drive â€” sort of a literary "Toys for Tots." Tucked just inside the front door is the largest of Village Books' three GivingTrees. The second is downstairs, and a third is located in the community center in the old J.C. Penneybuilding downtown. A holy host of paper angels dangle from the trees' piney boughs, printed with names,ages and genders of local children. Patrons select a book they feel will be appropriate for their"angels," and Village Books knocks 20 percent off the price. Donors then get to replace the angels withstars. Six agencies provided names for the drive â€” Brigid Collins House, Lummi Tribal School, LummiHead Start, Big Brothers Sisters, Early Childhood Opportunities ^ Northwest and the Boys and GirlsClub. Village Books employee Alissa Haslam is coordinating the project for the second year in a row.This year, she added the Brigid Collins House, and she coordinates the effort to ensure donations arewrapped and delivered before Christmas. "The point is to get books into the hands of kids who â„¢wouldn't normally get them," Haslam said. She said she enjoys the connection Village Books has withBellingham. "We've been here 18 years and have a lot of community support." Village Books ownersChuck and Dee Robinson said in Under the Front/Jesse Kinsman Alex, 9, and Megan, 5, help motherLaurie Mullurky choose names from Village Books'giving tree. Also available is the ever-popular "pocketpanty," just in case your jeans don't offer enough pocket room. Racz explained his I inspiration for the"pocket panty" came from his I grandmother because she was always stuffing things in her bra. Hefigured she needed a pocket. "Li'l Pimper, Slim Daddy, and Mommy too . . ." f showcases clothinguseful in street professions. f For example, "The Gap Skirt. Are those your cheeks or are you just happyto see me? Underwashed for no comfort whatsoever. This baby's tight." And the "Gogogo Boots. Theseboots are made for hooking." On the other end of the spectrum is the J. Christian page. Choir robes areoffered for all the seven sins. The J. Crewd Bible is also offered. "Hallelujah, the Good Book is back!Sassier than bold. French underwear support for a very chesty bible. (Glows in the dark)." The bible is asteal for just $42. The book of Mormon is just $38. Clothing and bible's aren't the only options in "J.Crewd," however. You have your choice of children in the J. Cloning section. They even have a sale page."The Jenny" is only $6,000. She is "street smart, not book smart." "The Suzy" is a bit pricier at $17,500.She is: "forward, likes Stevie." And, you have to love "The Scotty" for $24,050. He's described as:"Machiavellian." The book offers a good laugh, especially for those who are prone to waiting patiently fortheir J. Crew catalogs to arrive. The photography is great and looks a lot like the real J. Crew. The coveris graced with a man sitting on his throne â€” bathroom, not royalty â€” J. Crewd is spelled proudly in the same font as the catalog. But, beyond the first read, "J. Crewd" loses its value. The price is a bit steepat $11.95 for a few minutes of fun. For those who can spare the money, J. Crewd makes interestingcoffee-table material. It is also an entertaining view at the retail industry in America. Most collegestudents, however, would be better off saving their pennies for the Christmas edition of J. Crew, inmailboxes sometime now. Â±ree their monthly newsletter, "The Chuckanut Reader," that the giving treeis fast becoming a holiday tradition for some generous families. "We know one family who comes inevery year with their college-age kids," the Robinsons said. The idea for the giving tree came fromindependent bookstore owner Mary Gay Chipley in Blytheville, Ark. Chipley, a friend of the Robinsons,brought in Workday Publishing to donate all the angels and stars used on the trees. As the program hasgrown nationally, HarperCollins and Bantam Doubleday have joined in the holiday spirit. The season of giving extends past December for Village Books. In October, it sponsored a sleep-over in the store tobenefit the Whatcom Literary Council, raising more than $300. Earlier this year, the store won a window-display contest and received a free shipment of "Black and Blue," a book about domestic violence byAnna Quindlan. It sold the books at 20 percent off, giving all of the proceeds to Bellingham's WomenCare shelter. The store even sends a team to "Bowl for Kid's Sake." In an age where massive bookchains such as B. Dalton Booksellers and Barnes and Noble are siphoning off customers from localindependents, Village Books continues tO thrive, most likely due to special programs and communityevents like these. The Giving Tree program will run through Christmas. With 600 donations to deal with,Haslam is looking for volunteers to help wrap some of the presents at 7 p.m. Dec. 14 and Dec. 21 in thestore. The Colophon Cafe downstairs will provide free refreshments to keep volunteers happy. VillageBooks is located at 1210 Eleventh St., in the center of Old Fairhaven.

Western took the win, 107- 89. JaredStevenson finished with 25 points and 10 assists, while Mike Sims knocked in 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. The Cougar's guard Toby Merchant and Western's Jared Stevenson engaged in a game ofone-upmanship. Merchant and Jared Stevenson exchanged three-pointers and long-range jumpers, both finishing the first half with 16 points. With time winding down, Jared Stevenson drilled a three-not stopSims, Jared Stevenson or Jacob Stevenson. "They came out pretty small, so that played to ouradvantage," said. Shelton Diggs, a freshman guard from Long Beach, Calif., contributed offensively insubstitution. Diggs, finished with 11 points, three assists, a blocked shot and a steal. "It was fun towatch those young guys get time, so they'll feel they're more part of the team," Sims said. Westernfinished the game shooting 57.6 percent from the field, while Colorado Christian shot 42 percent. Afterthe game, Jared Stevenson and Sims were named to the all-tournament team. "Jared Stevensonstruggled a little bit in the first two games this season, but he really broke out tonight and played at thelevel we've come to expect from him," Jackson said. "Mike Sims is another one Vikings win, 72-51 thathad a great effort Front/Jesse Kinsman tonight," Jackson added.

"They had one big guy, buthe didn't play very much. They tried to go small to out-quick us, but that didn't work." Jared Stevensonled Western with 25 points, and Merchant led all scorers with 32. "They just weren't guarding metonight," Viking Jared Stevenson tently. He had a real solid effort." Back at .500, Western nowanticipates some important conference games. "We're going to need some great support from ourstudent body," Jackson said. "We need to get some people out to watch us. This is going to be a greatteam." By JJ Jensen The Western Front The thrill of victory is beginning to become second nature for Western's women's basketball team, as it improved 4-0 with a 72-51 victory over San Francisco StateUniversity Nov. 27 in Carver Gym. Led by junior guard Amanda Olsen, Western jumped to an early 16-7lead, but the defense unraveled. With 5:24 left in the half, SFSU climbed back into the game and tied the score at 23. Playing a see-saw match-up the rest of the half, Western went into the locker room,leading by only three points, 32-29. "At halftime, we looked at the score and at the game and realized we were just playing with them and not putting them away," sophomore guard Briana Abrahamsen said. Eight minutes into the second half and still only leading by three, Western buried SFSU. During thenext 12 minutes, Western's offense caught fire and outscored SFSU 28-10. Playing well offensively,Western's defense also shut down SFSU, as it held the Gators to just 38.9 percent field-goal shooting.SFSU also turned the ball over 28 times to the Vikings. Junior forward Sara Nichols led Western's run,scoring the first two baskets and assisting on three more. Nichols finished the game with game-highs oiseven rebounds and seven assists. "The people that came off the bench in the second half didn't let theintensity drop," Abrahamsen said. "It's great to know we can stick anybody in there and they'll give us aspark." When the dust finally settled, Western came away with a 21- point win. Olsen finished with agame-high 17 points and five steals, while sharing the offensive wealth by dishing out four assists.Junior center Celeste Hill continued her season-long inside dominance, scoring 14 points, andAbrahamsen lit up the outside, scoring 15 points. Abrahamsen hit on four of-six field goal attempts,made 5-bf-6 free throws and knocked down two of her three three-point attempts. Heading into PacificWest Conference play undefeated, Western will entertain Humboldt State University at 7 p.m. tonight, in Carver Gym. Entering conference play, the team's enthusiasm is high. "We're excited to get intoconference play," Abrahamsen said. "We're a really well-rounded team, and we have a positiveoutlook," Abrahamsen said. "It's awesome to know if you give the ball off on offense, someone else is going to make something happen." MYKONOS A variety of Greek appetizers and entrees in a casualfine dining atmosphere.

The combination of youth, inexperience and tough competition proved to be too much forWestern to overcome. On Nov. 21, Western was routed in its first two games by the University ofWashington, 19-3, and the University of California State Maritime, 15-1. Saturday's third game versusUniversity of Victoria showcased a back-and-forth offensive affair. However, Western was unable to holdoff the University of Victoria, eventually losing 11-7. Western showed some resiliency on Nov. 22 bytaking care of Highline Community College, 9- 7, to earn seventh place in the tournament. "We startedout slowly, but we ended really good," Head Coach Trevor Petrie said. Although Petrie said the team did some things well, he still sees room for plenty of improvement, citing youth as one of the main reasonswhy. "The team needs to improve its anticipation of the opponent's' fast break," veteran Tate Masonsaid. He later added, "We could have been in a little better shape." Although Western clearly struggled,many positives were taken away from the weekend of competition. "We got a lot of needed experience playing some difficult schools â€” we really improved throughout the four games of the tournament,"Mason said.

Cardio kickboxing, an exercise that involves continuous aerobic activity with boxing andself-defense moves, is a fun new way to reach an ultimate level of physical fitness. Kick-it, a cardiokickboxing and wellness studio, offers kickboxing classes that suit the intensity and skill level of anyperson. "Kick-it â€” it's just kind of how the classes are," owner Susan Thomas said about the name ofher studio. "I have classes formatted so you maximize your caloric burning." The classes incorporateshadow boxing, drills of punching and kicking, bag work, as well as stretching and strengtheningexercises that focus on endurance and interval training, she said. Periodic interval work duringendurance training increases the body's metabolism to help a person lose weight in a natural, healthyway, she explained. Thomas said she graduated from Western with a degree in exercise science and acertification in gerontology, the study of aging. The young entrepreneur is also a personal trainer and has a black belt in karate from Double Action Training Academy in Ferndale. Thomas said she won a goldmedal in the self-defense division at the Jujitsu World Championships in British Columbia last month."Karate gives me self confidence," Thomas said. Teaching physical fitness is not Thomas' only goal;instructing her students in self-defense is important too, she said. "I wasn't just a happy frosh playingFrisbee out on the lawn and was looking for an alternative way to stay fit." Elke Govertsen Westernstudent "Cardio kickboxing doesn't mean we're out there dancing around. Contact is light, but we alsowant to have fun," Thomas said. If you meet an attacker on a dark street corner, let rip a lethal jab-cross-hook punch combination that Thomas teaches, and not even Rocky will know what hit him.Besides learning offensive moves, Thomas equally emphasizes defensive blocks. Thomas' studentslearn to catch a jab, parry a cross and slip a hook. The defensive counters resemble the circular "wax-on, wax-off" arm motions the character Daniel learned in the movie "The Karate Kid." "It's a realconfidence booster knowing you have something more than just your key when you're walking around atnight by yourself," said Western student Kate Fromm. "It's a good way to get your aggressions outtoo." Fromm, along with many other Western students, regularly attends classes at Kick-it. "I learnedabout (Kick-it) at the info fair," Western student Elke Govertsen said. "I wasn't a happy frosh playingFrisbee out on the lawn and was looking for an alternative way to stay fit." Govertsen and Fromm said they enjoy the intensity of cardio kickboxing. Kick-it is located at 1209 Cornwall Ave. The wellnessstudio also offers personal training, senior fitness classes, Pilate-based conditioning and massagetherapy, which are instructed by the talented and well-certified staff at Kick-it. "Exercise is veryimportant. It affects my mood, and I feel very strongly it should be a part of everyone's life," Thomas said. Viking Basketball Action On Tap!!!

Poor shooting percentage from the field and the free-throw linehampered the Vikings all night long. They shot an uncharacteristic 52 percent (13 of 25) from the lineand 39.7 percent (25 of 63) from the field. St. Martin's shot a lowly 38 percent from the floor, but theyattempted 12 more free-throws than the Vikings, connecting on 26 of those. "We put them in the one-in-one situation with more than 11 minutes to play. Fouling has been a problem all season for us,"Jackson said. "Whenever you have poor shooting from both the field and the line, you aren't going to winvery many ball games," Head Coach Brad Jackson said. The Vikings leading scorer, Mike Sims, wasshut down, shooting 2 for 13 from the field. "Mike just missed shots that he normally makes. Thewhole team struggled with that," Jackson said. "Shooting percentage is very important. We shot 9 of16 from the free-throw line, and we lost by four," he said. It's particularly important when we also don'tshoot well from the floor." Sims and point guard Jacob Stevenson combined to shoot 9 of 11 from theline, the rest of the team was 4 of 14. Left: Head Coach Brad Jackson calls out to the team.

Giesa scored six points and continued to rebound well, collecting seven boards. TheVikings out-rebounded St. Martin's by 15 (45 to 30). "We rebounded well tonight, but it seemed like they(St. Martin's) got the rebounds when they needed it," Giesa said. Reserve guard Shelton Diggscontributed 10 points and six rebounds in his 20 minutes of play. Ryan Kettman added 11 points aridsix rebounds for the Vikings. St. Martin's was led in scoring by guard Eddie Ortiz, who scored 21 points. Ortiz connected on five three-point shots, two in the final few minutes of play. Forward Gerrit Eadesadded 16 points and six rebounds. The Vikings pulled to within two points but were then victimized by acrucial flagrant- foul call with 24 seconds remaining in the game, at which point Jackson exclaimed,"You're going to end the game on a call like that!" The Vikings will look to rebound against SeattlePacific University at 7 p.m. this Saturday at Carver Gym. "We are just going to concentrate on getting ittogether for our game against SPU. They are about as good a team as we are going to see this yearâ€”it's a really big game," Jackson said. Left: Sophomore guard Ryan Kettman shoots from the three-point line.

Imagine a president whose door is open to student organizations, Associated Students representativesand even members of the student press. Imagine a president who attends campus events, a presidentwho listens to criticism and learns from that insight. Picture a president to whom the campus can turnfor leadership, a person who inspires students and educators to strive for their best, a person like JohnStanford, who encourages kids, teachers, parents and community members. Too bad Western doesnot have such a president. A university president at any institution, public or private, has manyobligations. The Washington State Legislature and the citizens of Washington state hold Karen Morseaccountable for every aspect of Western, a daunting responsibility. The demands of such a position merit some sympathy for the president's busy schedule. Too often, however, spending time with students,faculty and staff is a last priority for Morse. Obtaining an interview with Morse for The Western Front isnearly impossible. Having Morse show up at a campus event is a rare occurrence. Morse usually refersinquiries to her vice presidents or to Western's Public Information Office. While the vice presidents' andthe PIO's efforts are appreciated, students do not expect the vision for Western to come from Western'spublic relations office or via the vice presidents. Students want to, and should demand, to hear directlyfrom Morse. Morse's position as president of the university should not be an excuse for her remoteness.In fact, many other university presidents are fond of discussing issues with students, including membersof the student press. Open up almost any issue of the University of Washington's student newspaper,The Daily, and UW President Richard McCormick's comments abound. Notably, on Oct. 7, McCormick spoke to an audience of students, faculty and staff about the challenges facing the university and howto best tackle them. He outlined his main goals for UW and one of the most important solutions forsolving problems at the university: more local and global community involvement. Imagine the results ifMorse chose to make such a corrurutment. Reaching out to the local community, beyond seekingdonations to the university, could have a fantastic impact and could go a long way toward smoothing thepath for Western's expansion. A.S. President Sarah Steves has done more than imagine the value ofreaching out to students. Her innovative "Talk With the President" discussions with students in RedSquare demonstrate the kind of commitment to communicate with students Western's president islacking. Western deserves a leader who cares about the campus and the community anddemonstrates those concerns often by encouraging a dialogue with students, faculty and staff.Imagine.

Quality of education down University churning out trainedworkers, not thinkers Heidi Thomsen COMMENTARY If colleges focus solely on class instructioninstead of learning expansion, universities will become nothing more than clearinghouses, churningout student cogs made to fit into a well-oiled societal machine. Students who are trying to get ahead inthe job market absorb too much information at once, declaring more than one major, making classeseven harder to get into than, they are now. Just imagine: all of the cursing and button pushing that madeyour voice and trigger finger sore this past couple of horrific weeks known as winter registrationmight be even worse next time. The quality of instruction in classes will be caught in a continuousdownward spiral. Class instruction will become mass produced, turning into clearing houses preparingstudents for jobs high in demand. Instead of placing emphasis only on job-related aspects of college,students need to understand that every college experience is important. From political protests and late-night cram sessions to dealing with bitter breakups, students leave college knowing how to deal withsituations outside of their academic major(s). Based on the results of a survey conducted by theNational Association of Colleges and Employers, communication skills rank first on the list of 10 per- "...students need to understand that every college experience is important." sonal characteristicsemployers seek in job candidates. Rand Jack, a Fairhaven College professor, agrees. "The morediverse skills a student learns at college, the better that student will be at communicating with others ...and addressing pressing issues in a constructive way." NACE also asked employers what they look forin job candidates. They responded, "(We) want to hire candidates who are go-getters, who candemonstrate that they are willing to take the initiative at work and who are eager to continue learningbeyond the college classroom." More work means even more stress. For example, a student might betold an environmental science degree is not enough: a graduate needs to be able to speak Russian aswell as know how to program Web sites. Dollar signs are popping up everywhere. The collegeexperience must teach students to use their learning abilities to the greatest possible extent both in and out of class. Experiences open up new and undiscovered possibilities, such as finding a cure forAIDS, designing a mass-transit system or doing the politically impossible in a country ravaged bytyranny. Employers want level-headed individuals who can think quickly on their feet, not applicants whoknow how to solve problems based only on what they read in college textbooks. College must be a place where the first priority is to show students that the world is full of information just waiting to be exploredby an inquiring mind. letters Feminist fanaticism bigotry toward men To the editor: I recently saw themovie "Elizabeth" â€” well done, although it left out her love affairs with Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir FrancisDrake... and the war with Spain. I was a bit piqued over what appeared to be gratuitous sex between the villain and his wife or mistress. Then it dawned on me â€” this movie is a feminist attack on men thatmen cannot be trusted and are out to dominate, use or even murder women (like the Scottish / FrenchQueen). What the feminists in their fanaticism are ignoring is that every human being, gay or straight,owes their very life to men and women loving each other. The feminist goals of female domination anduniversal homosexuality are illegitimate; the first would lead to a right-wing reaction, the second wouldend the human race. Bigotry and discrimination against men is no more legitimate than such againstwomen; if you put out hate into the universe you will get back hate (karma). Equality and assertivenessare the answers for women and for men; anything else leads to abuse and resentment. Women and men are not separate species but are equally human (hairless apes with the souls of God).

Vol. VIII. January, 1909 No. 4 The Messenger staff wish you, one and all, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Have you seen the "Messenger Clothesline" in the Library? Read the Exchanges. If you want to read something good, turn to Mr. Ro-mine's article on Bermuda. The following motto comes to us from Dr. Padel-ford of the University: "To make my students sane, vigorous, and sensitive, through a balanced training of the intellectual, the ethical, and the aesthetic life; always ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE MESSENGER working with reference to the individual, that he may be wise, humane, and gentle; such is my ideal as an English teacher." The spirit and thought is beautiful and helpful and may become a part of our creed no matter what line of teaching we may take up. From Mr. G. Allison, of Tacoma, our former Editor.— "Mr. Foster writes me that the school is in a prosperous condition, and judging from the Messenger it seems to be true. It does me good to see the students taking an active interest in the life of the school. After all, I sometimes think that it is the school atmosphere which determines to a greater extent than we think the real benefits. I know that my work in the various activities of the school gave me as much working power as my class work gave." What we need in our student body is co-operation, a means by which all things survive or develop—a means to an ultimate end. For such co-operation we must have boosters, not knockers; workers, not idlers; strong fighters, and not quitters. Every member must be as a cog in a wheel, always ready for duty, and never ready to shirk. Be at assembly societies, at the lecture course numbers, and on athletic field, to show your loyalty and appreciation of character building ideals. If we have lost by a decision or by score, don't think we have lost all, for to those who know how to take defeat it is oftentimes the noble victory. Is not this our standard and aim? Do we not feel the necessity of working together ? Let us make our life the school's. Two more things would put us on college standings in the athletic sphere—a tennis court and a baseball diamond. Tennis playing especially is a most scientific and beneficial sport for both men and women. Some mention has been made of a court, but nothing definite as yet has been done, so lets get together and work for this court. We want a good one, one that can be used rain or shine. Get to work on the matter, students—boost, boost, boost, is our motto. It is only when an institution is brought to a realization of its power that it is useful. The Bellingham Normal is no exception to this rule, as is evident by the different things which it has successfully promoted. There is still ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 3 ---------- THE MESSENGER 3 one activity, common to college life, which might now successfully be taken up—that of an orchestra. Of the material right in our midst we could form an orchestra such as any school in the land might well be proud of; every day some one is found who can play well on the violin, guitar, cornet, trombone, or snaredrum. All that is necessary is to assemble these persons together three or four times a week for an hour's practice. Not only would this talent be developed, but it would be quite an addition to our assembly by giving it a smack of culture that can be procured in no other way. Fifteen or twenty years hence when this institution has climbed in the scale of fame and efficiency equal to that of any other school in our land, who would not be PROUD to say, " I assisted in organizing the orchestra in the Bellingham Normal." STATEMENT OP ASSOCIATION FINANCES. The finances of the Students' Association are far better than was anticipated. The stock of the supply room purchased to date amounts to $1,297.46 cost, and in spite of the low prices charged for it, the earnings already amount to $187.36 over and above all expenses. The total expense of operating the supply room thus far has been only $75.53. The following statement is taken from the books of the supply room, December 23, 1908: Assets. Owed by general fund $ 12.05 Students' accounts 2.95 Messenger 4.40 Inventory of stock at cost, Dec. 23 386.38 Cash 15.68 Balance in bank 42.66 $464.12 Liabilities. Accounts not due until goods are sold $197.84 30-day accounts 78.92 Profits 187.36 $464.12 The financial management of the Messenger is most efficient. Mr. Herman Smith, business manager, has se- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 4 ---------- 4 TEE MESSENGER cured in advertising and subscriptions a monthly revenue of about $110.00 as against not to exceed $75.00 last year. As a result of this and the advantageous cnotract of this year, the Messenger is much larger and more attractive than last year's, and yields a monthly profit of about $25. The general fund is also in splendid condition. There was $306.65 from student fees in this fund at the opening of school. Football used, above receipts, about $150.80, and expenditure more than justified by results. About $50.00 was spent in paying last year's bills and incidental expenses, leaving but $100.00. But the football game Thanksgiving day, which made up $44, and the Faculty- Normal Boys' game, have left a total in the general fund of $141.66. The receipts from entertainments and basketball games will undoubtedly restore this fund to the condition it was in at the beginning of the season. JAMES O'SULLrVAN. FUTURITY. Closed, is the silent tomb of the past; The stone can ne'er be rolled away. Open, is the gate of the future By the fair New Year today. Ah! well for us, as the ages roll, That there is a Hand, strong, sublime, That marks the path to our destiny In our onward course, through space and time. Then though the world is tired and old Let the heart be fresh and young And bright, with glorious hopes, For the year that is just begun. —Goldie Wreston Brown. LITERARY. A Seven Weeks' Sojourn In Bermuda. "Father Neptune one day to Dame Freedom did say, 'If ever I live upon dry land, The spot I should hit on would be little Britain.' Says Freedom, 'Why, that's my own island: O. 'tis a snug little island, A right little, tight little island! ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 5 ---------- THE MESSENGER 5 Search the world round, none can be found So happy as this little island.' " The above sentiment expressing the poet's approval of Britain might apply with equal propriety to Bermuda. It would hardly be possible in the compass of this article to give more than an impressionistic sketch of Bermuda. While having the latitude of middle George and Alabama, the beautiful little archipelago has a decided sub-tropical climate, and its vegetation in many forms is tropical. To one who has not been privileged before to see a southern clime with all that it connotes in story and in song, in the grace and hospitality of its people, and in the color and beauty of its landscape, Bermuda holds a peculiar enchantment. The Bermudians have a happy way of saying to the sojourner that when the great Architect created the world, he built the last and therefore the best part of it in the form and reality of Bermuda. And those leisurely and accomplished people seem to live as if they believe their happy statement. Crime is infrequent, the poverty that bites is only occasional, and the maddening strife for commercial and social supremacy for the selfish eminence of the individual is not worth the game. Bermuda has the contour of an open gauntlet in profile with the thumb view clearly in definition. Its area is 191/! square miles. The nearest land is Cape Hatteras. From New York harbor to her only dock for deep-draught liners is 704 nautical miles or 44 hours' sail, and after many varying graduate to post-graduate degrees in gastronomic feats, the sight of Bermuda to the voyager is like a medicine bearing a picture of paradise upon its label. The population of Bermuda is roughly 18,000 people, two-thirds of whom are negroes. "When the New York steamer slows up to Hamilton dock the passengers aboard note Sambos and Dinahs with visages gaping as if employed for dentifrice establishments lined up galore to welcome the good ship's safe arrival. Though the negro outnumbers the white man two to one, and though there is no discriminatory statute against, he understands that Bermuda is a white man's government. The two races get along on terms of harmony, and Sambo is rapidly substi-tuting- the Gillette safety for the old-fashioned long blade razor. The Bermndans are good politicians in the best sense of the term. They are quite alert as to the political affairs of their countrv, and yet there is little or no align- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 6 ---------- 6 TEE MESSENGER ment into parties. A year ago, however, the little island empire was shaken from her rocky ribs to her ridge pole by a question of mighty import. There was automobile and non-automobile segregation of Bermuda's law givers. The NON won by a bare majority vote of one, and as a result no skunk-wagons profane the beautiful, but narrow serpentine roadways of Bermuda. Bermuda is really a collective name, for there are said to be 365 islands—one for each day in the year—according to the last census. The little group is of interest to the student of physical geography. It is low-lying fringed by reefs that bode ill to the innocent mariner. If the whole area to the margin of the reefs should be elevated some 200 or 300 feet, there would be a little continent approximately 230 instead of the present 1 9 ^ square miles of extent. The geology is all limestone of aeolian accumulation. This rock enters into all the structures of Bermuda residences, shops, public edifices, fortifications, etc., and the effect is quite pleasing to the eye. The Bermuda homes are creations of simple, yet chaste, elegant designs. There is no running fresh water of any kind in Bermuda. The water for drinking, cooking and cleansing is rain water. By means of carefully whitewashed expanses of surface lime rock serving as a catch-all the rain is led to cisterns and reservoirs not always too carefully guarded for he. the most deceptive of all singers, monsieur mos-auito propagates prolfically in these artificial wells, and by night he shrills a pesty lay into the ear of him who explores for that "sweet sleep that knits up the ravelled sleeve of care." The vegetal and animal life of Bermuda teems in luxuriance. The oleander is in flower from early spring to December. The royal poinciana, the poinsettia, the tamarind, palmetto, palms of many species, huge century plants, the plantation, the banana and many others are in striking evidence on every hand. And these generic relations, the very antitheses in aroma, the lily and the onion, the latter hygienic talisman of Sambo, should not be omitted from the floral lists. And as if to give a solace akin to northern climes, the Bermuda cedar clothes the low Iviug hills with nature's ever restful green. The animal life, barring some beautifully plumaeed birds, is restricted to the reefs which, abounding with corals that rival the beauty of the rose, and waving sea-fans and sea-plumes, look like veritable sea-gardens. So rich and beautifully blended are the colors of the fishes ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 7 ---------- THE MESSENGER 7 that it would seem as if they have done naught else in life but to make millinery of the rainbow. The hues of the water and the tints of the sky are the artist's Eden. They charm by this soft, gentle blending, and variety of effect, yet in gergoousness and striking grandeur the cloud effects at sunset do not equal those of Puget Sound. A. P. R. ABOUT OURSELVES. A recently received list of questions prepared by the United States Commissioner of Education, Mr. E. E. Brown, was submitted to me and presented to the school at the Monday morning assembly, December 7, as the students present on that occasion will recall. A total of 283 usable reports was obtained and it has occurred to me that the readers of The Messenger may be interested in reading the summaries. The questions covered two subjects, age and teaching experience, and the results are as follows: Fifteen years of age or less, 5; sixteen years, 18; seventeen years, 30; eighteen years, 42; nineteen yars, 50; twenty years, 29; twenty-one years, 28; twenty-two years, 24; twenty-three years, 13; twenty-four years, 7; twenty-five years or above, 27.

Christmas day at the Mine had always passed just like any other day until one eventful time of which I shall tell you. The Nighthawk is in an isolated region far back in the Cascade mountains, where the winters are long and severe. The snow is often six or eight feet deep and communication with the outside world almost impossible. Clustered about the mine are a few cabins, some bunk houses, a store and a saloon. The rough miners lived base, degraded lives. After the day's work was ended they would congregate in Big Dan's saloon and make the night hideous with drinking, gambling, and fighting. But few women lived in the camp. Only one family, the O'Neals, ever observed Christmas. They had a pretty little erirl with blue eyes and golden hair, and for her each year they had had a tree. The summer preceding the winter of which I write, Mr. O'Neal had been killed by an explosion in the mine, and ever since Mrs. O'Neal had been struggling bravely to keep the wolf away from their door, but Christmas eve found them face to face with starvation. She explained to little Donna that they had nothing more to eat, and no wood, so she must not expect a Christmas tree that year. The dull aching of her heart was almost unbearable when she saw the look of disappointment on Donna's face. Presently the child looked up and said, "Mamma, if I ask Jesus won't he give us something to eat and some wood to make a fire? I am going to ask him anyway," and she ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 9 ---------- THE MESSENGER 9 slipped down from her mother's lap, where she was sitting, and went out of the door and into the empty woodshed. "Scotty" McFarland, one of the miners, was slouching past the 0 'Neal cabin, and thinking he heard some one speak, paused to listen. A child's voice lifted in prayer; she asked in childish faith for the necessities of life, and then she added, "Dear Jesus, I do want a little Christmas tree." The softer nature of the man was awakened and blinding tears sprung to his eyes. He hurried on to the gathering at Big Dan's and told them what he had just heard. "Fellows," he said, " I ain't goin' much on these here Christmas doin's, and I aint any betterin' the rest o' ye, but that kid's gotter hev a tree—pass round the hat." The miners responded with their usual generosity and one five-dollar piece after another went into the hat to keep company with those already there. The next morning little Donna went to the door. What could it mean, scattered all about was wood, sacks of flour and innumerable parcels and in their midst stood a little fir tree decorated with ribbons and bright paper. Unspeakable, unutterable joy filled the hearts of mother and child, but this was not all, a little sack hanging on the tree was found to contain gold coins. The child's prayer had indeed been answered—Christmas had come to the Nighthawk Mine. 0. A. A Second-Year Student. JIMMIE'S CHRISTMAS. It was Christmas eve—an ideal Christmas eve! Snow was falling softly, flecking the pedestrians with its large white flakes. The street lamps were but obscure stars. The hour was seven and the streets of Chicago were crowded with happy people on their way to the churches, which, with very few exceptions, were brilliantly lighted for the services. Street cars were crowded and many carriages conveyed their share of the people. Everyone seemed happy and glad that it was Christmas time. No, not all; for wandering along the street, scarcely noticed by the passersby, was a little boy. His clothes were ragged and worn, his face thin and haggard, and his body shivered from the cold. By his side trotted an ugly little dog and from time to time the little master would ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 10 ---------- 10 !TBfi kMSSEtiGER stoop and caress him and whisper something in his ear. As they passed a brilliantly lighted church Jimmie's face wore a wistful look. How he wishes he could go to a Christmas tree! Last year mother had dressed him in his Sunday clothes and had taken him to the services. But since then mother had gone to heaven and his father had taken Jimmie 's Sunday clothes and sold them to get money for rum. Now he scarcely had enough clothes to keep him warm and many times he had gone all day without anything to eat. As he thought of his mother he wished he could spend Christmas with her. On he wandered, not knowing where to go but compelled to walk to keep warm. At last a kind-faced man stopped him. "Don't you want to go to a Christmas tree, little boy?" he asked. "Yes, sir," answered Jimmie; "but I can't, 'cause mamma's dead and I hain't got no good clothes." "There's a place four blocks from here where they want all little boys like you to come. "Yes," he added in answer to the questioning look, "those clothes will be all right. They want you to come." With a new hope Jimmie hurried on. What would there be for him? And would there be anything for Trip? Visions of beautiful Christmas trees crossed his mind. They had reached the corner now and Jimmie could see the lights of the hall shining through the snow. Soon he would see the tree. As they crossed the street a carriage dashed around the corner and Jimmie saw that Trip was directly in its path. With a cry he sprang forward and caught up the dog. But he was too late. The horses struck him and he was thrown down beneath their feet. Tender hands carried the unconscious boy within the mission. A doctor was summoned, but to no avail. As consciousness returned he opened his eyes and looked inquiringly at the faces above him. The unhurt dog was brought to the pallet and Jimmie, satisfied that his pet was safe, shut his eyes and became very still. There was a silence in the room, for Jimmie had gone to spend Christmas with his mother. HABRY F. HEATH. Noble blood is an accident of fortune; noble actions characterize the great.—Goldoni. i ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 11 ---------- !THJE MESSENGM ii CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS. It was in the land of shades where the spirits of good trees are assembled. "And what did you do on earth?" asked the Great Voice of the stately fir. " I builded homes, and the great buildings of cities; I furnished masts for ships that sail the seas, and I made warm fires for man's comfort," said the fir. " I , too," said the cedar, standing close to the fir, "protected man and helped him civilize the world. I kindled his fires." " I , too," said the pine, and the oak, and the maple, and the birch; "we all helped him build the 'house beautiful.' " "And what was your work?" said the Voice, as the beautiful fruit trees brought their offering. "We furnished man food," said the orange, the apple, the walnut, and the chestnut. Thus, in answer to the Great Voice, all the trees of the earth—the beech and the birch, the pine and the palm, the cotton wood and the banyan, from the north and the south told of the deeds they had done on earth. At last came the little Christmas tree, all decked in silky tinzel and tinkle and pretense. "And why are you here?" said the Great Voice, gravely. " I do not know," said the little tree lightly. "There is nothing that I do but be happy." After a pause, "But when they look on me all the little children laugh and clap their hands, and grown people nod their heads and smile through happy tears. Sour faces grow loving and sorrowful ones, happy." Then spoke the Great Voice, and it was heard through all the forests of shade-land: " I t is well to warm man's body, but it is better to warm his heart. It is a good deed to give man food; but it is blessed, indeed, to waken the soul." I. R. B. I can think of no seasonable sentiment more inspiring than the hopeful prayer that the world of nations and of individuals may realize more and more fully than ever the spirit of that first Christmas: Peace through good will.

When the whistle blew announcing time at the close of the football game on Thanksgiving day, the boys of the Normal began the practice of basketball. Contrary to custom they are doing their chief practice in the evenings, and every evening you can hear the whistle in the Gymnasium. The Normal is putting out three basketball teams. On Friday, December 18th, the second team played at Everson against the first team there, the score being 12 to 9 in favor of the Normal. The second team promises to take care of the teams of the small towns of this and Skagit County. The first team, composed of Umbarger and Becker, guards; Davenport, center, and Goodell and Petheran, forewards, promises to be a strong quintet. Games have been scheduled with Lincoln High, Mt. Vernon, Sedro- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 13 ---------- THE MESSENGER i3 Woolley, Ellensburg Normal and Anacortes High. The schedule is by no means complete and a tour away is anticipated. Let us all "boost for" the team. SOCIETY. A number of the enterprising students have organized a new society, which will be known as the Normal House of Representatives. The idea of the organization is to develop the power of debate and expression. It was thought that this unique way would present more novel features and thus insure more interest. All the business will be carried on similar to that of the National House of Representatives. If the number is sufficient there will be a representative assigned for each state. Bills will be brought in and discussed by all who gain the recognition of the speaker. The first meeting will be held in the Normal Society Hall, in evening January 8th, at which meeting Attorney Foster, of the city, who has been elected speaker, will preside. The Thespian Dramatic Club entertained the students and faculty just before the holidays with "A Christmas Chime." There will be several more pleasant programs given by this club before the close of the term. This club is developing some strong talent along dramatic lines. The Athenian Society will resume work early in the new year. This is the society with which many of the new students, who wish to do general literary work, should ally themselves. The Alkisiah Club met Friday, December 11 at 2:30 o'clock in the Society Hall. An excellent program was rendered in the presence of a large number of the students. The program opened with a song meet in which all those present joined heartily. Miss Baker presided at the piano. After several songs had been sung the subject for the aay, "Play-ground Organization," was taken up. Miss Walborg Olsen gave an excellent talk on thr- "Conventions of the Play-ground Association." Following this was a very entertaining presentation of the High- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 14 ---------- 14 THJE MESSENGM land Fling, by Misses Isabelle Williams and Lucette Mc- Kechne in illustration of one phase of play ground instruction. The next number was a remarkably well given talk by Miss Annie Nord on the subject "Play-ground Organization." As a closing number the play-ground work was farther illustrated by a series of very unique folk dances in which several of the club members took part. Miss Mat-tie Stanton furnished the music for this number. After the program the guests were excused and the members remained for a business session. The Alkisiah Club includes a number of the most earnest and ambitious students in school, and every member realizing the value of society work in school, is striving to make the club come up to a high standard. An excellent program is rendered every two weeks, to which all of the students and teachers are cordially invited. W. G. The Bible Institute—Y. W. C. A. Because of the great help derived from the Bible Institute of last year, we feel the need of another such institute this year. While as yet the plans are not complete, the time has been set and several of the speakers selected. The sessions will begin the second Thursday after vacation, January 14th, and end the following Sunday. Appropos of the work being done in the Bible classes, the thought of the Institute will center around the life of Christ. Miss Hillman, of the Tacoma City Association, will be with us in all of the meetings, and different pastors of our city will speak. Every member of the school, whether a member of the association or not, is urged to share the benefit of this Institute. STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION. True to the prophecy, merely a small fraction of the great throng of people seeking admittance at the doors of the Normal Gymnasium could be accommodated Friday evening, December 11th, when the much talked of and already famous game of basketball was to be played by the sedate and stately men of the Bellingham State Normal school faculty and the boys of the student body. ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 15 ---------- ftHE MESSENGER i5 Those fortunate enough to gain admittance were obliged to restrain their eagerness for minor things came first on the program. An exciting game of basketball was played by the Juniors and Third Years, the proud and mighty Juniors winning, but not without a decided effort, for their opponents were of such mettle as to make the skirmish for the ball a lively one. The spectators were afforded a rare (?) treat in the minstrel performance. This was composed of musically talented members of the school, and the soul-inspiring tones sent forth from the various instruments caused the nearts of the listeners to swell with pride when they realized that these performers were fellow students. The exhibition of strength by the world-famed Sullivan would have been much enjoyed had the heavy weights not rolled lightly from within reach of the great man as he was preparing to lift them. No less interesting was the black bear caught in the wolds of America by Theodore Roosevelt and trained to be as docile as a child. The creature showed almost human intelligence in some of its tricks. It was finally announced that the long-looked-for game was to take place, and amid the thundering cheers the players took their positions. As the game progressed the excitement waxed strong. Mr. Forest held the audience spellbound until they decided which basket he was playing for. Mr. Deerwester made one basket and Mr. Epley very nearly had the same good fortune befall him. Mr. O'Sullivan, as center, played with the zeal of a true athlete, and for a time even football speeches were forgotten. The extreme nervousness displayed by Mr. Bond caused him to lose several baskets, but as the game advanced he grew more calm and played with greater ease. At the close of the game, while the echoing cheers were still ringing, Miss George, in behalf of the ladies of the faculty, addressed the generous but defeated gentlemen in a speech of appreciation for the loyal support they had given the faculty colors. She presented each with a huge candy cane, which it is hoped will serve them as a support in their higher aspirations in the athletic field. A. HOLM.

ASSEMBLY ON FRIDAY MORNINGS. On Friday, December 4th, Mr. J. W. Clark, who was to address the students, was unable to be present. The ever- ready Mr. 0'Sullivan filled the gap and gave a talk which might have had for its subject, "First One Thing and Then Another in Politics." In spite of the fact that Mr. 0'Sullivan had no time to prepare, his review of current events was very instructive. On December 11th Mr. Bond delivered an inspired oration on the subject of "What the Faculty Are Doing and What They Intend to Do." He informed the students in the most eloquent language that a selected faculty team had consented to appear on the gymnasium floor to show the merits and demerits of the great game of basketball. In following sentences filled with flowery words he eulogized the members of the faculty "five" and exhorted the students to attend the game. The other feature of the program was an allustrated lecture on "Persia," by Dr. Johannan, a native Persian. The lecturer kept the audience laughing most of the time, but his talk was too personal. Parts of it were overdone, and beyond having a good laugh, the students were for the most part disappointed. On Friday, December 18th, occurred the annual Normal and Training School Christmas Tree. After a short musical program Santa Claus appeared and helped distribute the presents, which were found on the beautifully decorated tree. The Normal and the Training School exchanged gifts, as they have done in previous years. H. F. H. Thursday. December 17th, the Alkisiah Club had a sale of blooming bulbs and candy. The flowers sold rapidly ; in fact, nearly all were engaged before the time set for the sale. The venture was new, but was so very sue- ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 22 ---------- 22 THE MESSENGER cessful that the club members are planning to make such a sale an annual feature. A large quantity of first class candy was contributed by the members, and it found a ready sale among the hungry students during the lunch hour. The contest between the three Normals will be held at our own school this year—probably some time in the latter part of March. Students, let us make this meeting one of the great events in the history of the B. N. S. First and foremost, we must give our guests a royal welcome and a good time, and send them home with none but words of praise for our hospitality and school spirit. The Junior party, Friday night, December 4th, was a great success. Each member of the class came representing, either by actions or dress, some well known book. Mrs. Wiggs was there in all the glory of one who is conscious of having just completed an elaborate toilette— hair arranged in the latest style, freshly ironed calico dress, and new second-hand shoes (with only one hole in the sole which didn't show). Her children, Asia. Euro-pena and Australia, also came to see and enjoy the wonders of a party given by the Juniors of the Bellingham Normal. The first part of the evening was spent in a guessing contest, Alice Tigie receiving the prize, a souvenir book, having guessed forty-seven books represented by as many persons out of the some seventy Juniors present. Then followed a short programme, after which all were served to cocoa and cake. Mr. Beal, as toastmaster, called on Mr. Deerwester to speak, who responded with a short but spicy speech which might have been somewhat longer had not Miss Sperry given a timely warning that he must not steal ALL of HER speech. Being a gentleman of peace he immediately took his seat amid the hearty applause of all present. Miss Sperry was next called upon, and gave us a very interesting talk, remarking (as is usually the case whenever the Juniors are concerned) that she was pleased to see such a high standard of learning as was displayed tonight, for she had not read or even heard of nearly all the books represented. The President and Secretary next gave short speeches ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 23 ---------- THE MESSENGER 23 expressing their appreciation of the evening's entertainment. As the Treasurer had wisely made herself scarce she was not called upon to give a toast. A LONE DWELLER. Slower and slower we wound our way up the mountain trail. Our packs were growing heavier and we were impatient to be rid of them. No suitable place for camp had yet appeared, and since the nights were cold we would be uncomfortable indeed unless some friendly roof offered its shelter. Suddenly, as unexpected as an apparition, there stood before us in the trail a man, apparently a miner. He was as startled as we were, but quickly recovering from his surprise, he asked us about our journey. Upon learning that we were shelterless he insisted on our going to his house and spending the night there. We needed no second bidding, but fell in behind our guide. He led the way with long swinging strides. We were glad when we reached his cabin on the mountain side. We entered and threw down our packs. The cabin was a roomy one of cedar logs. It had one peculiarity which we could not at first understand. Two rows of heavy posts reached to the roof where they were fastened to huge rafters. These, we learned, were a support to the roof during the heavy snows. They were warped and twisted from the weight they had borne. Meanwhile our host was busy getting the meal. The savory odors of ham and coffee were very welcome, as our fare for days had been the simplest. A feeling had been growing on me, ever since we had submitted to his guidance, that our new friend had a remarkable personality. His face and figure were very impressive. His eyes were most noticeable. They protended from their sockets in the effort to see through and beyond you, for they did not seem to stop at the physical, but to stare on into the distance. They had the look of one who was not familiar with human society, closely resembling the eyes of the wild animal. His hair was slightly gray. The features of his face were regular and strong. His shoulder were broad and he towered up above the usual height. Tremendous strength and agility were written all over the man. His personal characteristics were well set off by a ---------- Messenger - 1909 January - Page 24 ---------- 24 THE MESSENGER plainness in dress which was, of course, necessary in his walk of life. A suit of brown khaki, high topped boots and a fur cap constituted his every day wardrobe. I wondered again and again what manner of man he was. He spoke little, though we felt that he was enjoying our stay as mluch as we were. After we had spread our blankets in one corner and retired for the night I noticed that our host had left the cabin. He had been absent for some time when I rose softly, went to the door and looked out. It was a brilliant moonlight night and everything on the bare mountain sides stood out as plainly as by day. A few yards away, on a projecting rock, sat our host. He was apparently enthralled by the magnificent display nature had made when these jagged mountains were piled together. As I watched him there gradually entered my consciousness the reason why he lived in this wild inhuman fashion. He was a lover or rather worshipper of nature. Here the faithful child of nature watched year in and year out. If one could understand the wild call of the place some little indulgence would be granted him. I seemed to see the seasons come and go. When the white night would be changed, when the whirling mist should come over the pass in great valley-filling masses and down the great ravine on the left would come the wildly driven wind from the north to catch this mist and swirl it ferociously around till it crystallized into snow which would fall and cover the earth even to the tree tops. I do not know how long the hermit remained at the watch, but in the morning he rose early and set us on our way. Not content with this much hospitality, he guided us to the summit of the pass and bid us godspeed down the mountain. "We had gone some distance when, coming out on a sort of promontory, we looked back. Our strange entertainer was standing with feet spread wide apart and eyes on the distant fields of jagged, spiked mountain tops, which stretched away so far as eye could reach. And, thus, we left him. NOAH DAVENPORT. JOSHES. Seen on the Bulletin Board. Lost—My Psychological Development. Wanted at once—Three chicken catchers.

COLLEGIAN Fisherman's Cove Thursday, June 2, 1949 PERSONALITIES MAKE THE NEWS Wandering Reporter Sees All—Tells All By CLYDE LOOM1S Wandering about the Lummi reservation this evening, I happened upon a happy party, busily engaged in stuffing themselves with fried chicken. Glancing into the group, I spied many familiar faces and found they were some of my old cronies from the Publications staffs at their annual banquet. Among the dignitaries, there were: CECIL THOMAS—The "hard P H Y L L I S ARMSTRONG — boiled" editor, isn't as harsh as people claim editors are. "Cec" as everyone calls him, took over the job as ye olde editor, just before the Publications Prom, when the going was rough. He cracks the whip every Thursday to get every one out of the print shop by six and his f»v-orit saying is "Don't touch my arm—typhoid shots, you know." RUTH BURNET —Affection ateiy called "Ma B." by cubs and editors alike, Mrs. Burnet has the job of keeping a bunch of aspiring young journalists on the straight and narrow. With her lefthanded blackboard pen manship, she keeps her classes informed of deadlines, assignments, etc. "You are the one" and "Clean out the bottles, girls" were heard often whenever Mrs. B. was in the Collegian office. PEARL HOFMAir—"Poil," to many, the hardworking Klipsun editor, is sometimes given to indecisions; the refrain most often heard coming from her lips was "should I go to class or should I skip and work on the annual." Even her calculus hasn't suffered. Past editors may remember their trips to the engravers in Seattle, but our Pearl remembers well the trip to Columbus, Washington, and wayward points — with George Dowd! PAT GRAVES-Never with-out refreshment of some kind was this gal, Klipsun copy editor. Cokes were among the most frequent. Pat is just another Senior hallite on the staff. She kept the public informed of their doings at the house. RAY FJELLMAH-Ray is another convertible owner—only his is about 1932 vintage and "passionate pink" at that He was one of the "dutiful?" copy writers of the Klipsun and is famed for hit unique house warmings. "Bird-dog" to her Senior hall cronies, and Phyl to most, she's combined student teaching with managing the finances of the Klipsun—as a result they have a little left over. "Chief Strong Arm," she has become the "favorite of the fifth" grade on the play field. BURT HORMAN- Owner of a big blue '46 convertible that makes all the girls swoon, Burt seems to be held in monoply by one girl. Workhorse of the staff, he always turned in his copy so clean—the envy of the whole staff and pride of the copy editor. GLENNA HAZELDINE—This red-headed Canadian has served as co-news editor for the past two quarters. Called "Kluane" by virtune of living there, she's noted for saying "wot" and "bean" and famous for her feature "Clementine versus the Hootch." AL MAGNUSON—The use of postage stamps has declined somewhat since Al w r o te "thief" on the back of each one. Our industrious business manager must have had writers cramp when he got through. BETTY McLEOD—This hardy perennial has become a permanent fixture around the Klipsun. Last year's editor, she has helped Pearl with her many Sroblems. For the first time in er college career, she got a term paper in on time this quarter. K A T H L E E N GOLLY— "Katie" is another student teacher who's kept up her work on both publications; working as associate editor with Pearl fall quarter, and Collegian society editor fall and spring quarters. Many's the time her name appeared on the society assignment sheet—coupled with that of a certain aspiring young politician now in the east. Katie served as co-chairman of this years banquet and is willing to take the blame for its success or failure. BARBARA COZZA—"Bobbie" was the vivasious feature writ-ter and assistant business manager of the Klipsun. She wrote her column "Campi" pretty regularly except when her papers were burglarized. Sometimes her stuff wasn't so original, but always good for a laugh. Next time she should use more than one exchange paper. FRANCES F R A Z E E — To whether or not the Nipco press conference was a success, we leave up_ to Franny. The Fra-zee family saw little of their car Thursday nights fall and winter quarter—granges, political meetings and an occasional show following the routine of the print shop. PAT SOMERS —Never has one girls changed so much in so short a time. This reporter has well earned the name of girl-shivoo— for further info consult an Australian dictionary. Pat worked on ^ociety, straight news and served as copy-editor. KENNY FORSETH—This big blond sports editor was one of the best chauffers on Thursday afternoons. Many's a time he could be seen going down High street with his car full of staff members — girls usually! He must have some fatal charm. LEX MILTON-He is all that is left of the Young Democrats. We hope he, too, will find a job in Washington. As feature editor he consistantly tried to steal reporters, space and copy. WWCOLLEGI AN THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1949 Prined as Low Class Matter in the Cox Brothers Williams Dungeon Ye Olde Editor. , Slander Slingers- „ ^ Typist .... , , ... "Katie" ..Bobbie and Lavee „Pat, "Girl Shivoo" Advisers—Any fool dumb enough to try to tell them anything BEVERLY GORDON —This Mount Baker girl really has got what it takes when it comes to giving orders. She was the culprit who as news editor, gave eveTyone such jazzy assignments. Lavee will go down in history with her famous saying, "Who gave me da Ba-dilla?" S H I R L E Y DICKENSEN— Darling of the music department heads (you see, she covers the beat). "Smiles" reported for the Collegian and is serving as editor of the Navigator. This Senior hallite's favorite saying is "Hot Spit." Wonder where she learns such things. BOB SAFSTON — Diligent, hard-working but always late to class this lad served as associate editor of the Klipsun. Bob will continue his work on the Klipsun by being n e xt year's editor. MARGLEN SNEDDON— Marg is one of the people you have to thank for this meal tonight. She was one of the co-chairmen of the banquet. We didn't see too much of her on the Klipsun staff as the majority of her time is taken up by a certain Vik. GEORGE HESS—Tryant of the copy desk, George slaved over late copy until we were sure he was headed for a breakdown. He fooled us though, he'd just write a nasty note on his blackboard and go out for a short one—he just loves ice cream bars. COX BROTHERS-Here's to the long suffering Cox Bros., Lee and Dick, who many a night have gnawed their fingers to the elbow while waiting for errant reporters to turn in late copy. They got mighty hungry about 7 p. m. GLEN WOLF-The other half of the corporation of Milton and Wolf, he is constantly looking for tired jokes to inflict upon the readers of his column. GARY BRANDNER-Speaks softly and not too often, but wields a wicked typewriter! Gary has been the "old dependable" of the feature staff and is well on his way to becoming the college, students' Robert' Benchley.PPPPP

THE GREAT BATTERSBY FIELD FIASCO! The epitome of disunity andcouldn't-care-lessness was again displayed Saturday night at Battersby Field. As the band was preparing to play the National Anthem the game was started instead. I realize I'm being Pascistic by dwelling on the subject of patriotism but in considering that Western is such a highly individualistic school with largepockets of intellect we are probably above such trivia as the "Star Spangled Banner." Western'slethargic fans again rose to the occasion Saturday night. Western's cheering section consisted of fivefreezing, cheer-ig screaming maidens in purple dresses and a scattering of inebriates in the far cornerof the stands. The few loyal Viking fans were constantly drowned out by three or four carloads of Centralrooters on the other side. Why do Westernites go to the games? For "Brownies"? At halftime theWestern Philharmonic sitting band surged on the field like a mighty tidal wave and treated the crowd to atimely arrangement of musical scores. The music was as appropriate to a football game as an aria from the Three Penny Opera would be during the seventh inning stretch of a baseball game. The GlassBubble of the Music Department must have been smashed when certain people discovered that bringingthe Concert and Lecture series to football games was not received well and not included in theaesthetic attitudes of the students. The C and L series is fine but not shoved down our throats at anathletic event. The football team put on a fine performance but the events and attitudes of the students seemed geared to make Western the laughing stock. Do we want to have and support athletics atWestern or it is like too many students have stated, "WHO CARES?" Mike Martin GRADEPREDICTIONS Freshmen and transfer students! Wondering what your report card will look like thisquarter? Here is Page 2 Dear Editor: I am an incoming freshman here at Western and I love the school.I think it's great. I only dislike and worry about one thing and that is: Where is our flag? True, manydays start out raining but by afternoon the sun is out and the flag pole stands there like a pencil withno eraser. It looks bad. There are no flags flying anywhere else oh campus either. This is just one of the little things that the Commies sit over in Russia and wait for us to i'orget. Also, one other gripe. Thefootball game between Western and Central this past weekend was the first sports event I've everattended that the National Anthem wasn't played before the game. Who goofed? Thanks a lot, Namewithheld by request Dear Editor: This campus doesn't need a new $950,000 library. It needs $950,000worth of up to date books, journals, etc. for the present library. Sincerely, Sam Herman PARKING your chance to get a sneak preview. All freshmen and transfer students who have not received their gradeprediction test results may pick their scores up at their counselor's office during the coming week.WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Cars are out . . . by Dave Colburn Prediction: Next year will bea mass mad scramble for motor scooters. Not caused by a status seeking Don Quixote, butinvented by a crazed, frustrated, and late student. In other words, cars are out and inversly parkingspaces are in. If the influx of cars continue we'll have to tear down Old Main, the Art Building, the MusicBuilding, and the Rain Forest for parking spaces and classes will be taught in cars similar to the waydrive-in movies teach. If you live ten blocks from school don't drive because you'll have to walk twelveblocks to get to class. There is a solution to mitigate our fears. Actually there are two solutions: (1) build a temporary gravel parking lot in the Veteran's housing area or (2) build a four level car garage. The firstidea is a sound one and it would hold 400 cars but this would only be a temporary measure. The second plan would cost $1,200,000 to build and would take years to pay off at a cost of $2,380 per stall or perperson. This plan is of course unreasonable but there are people vitally interested in October 27, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 3 ---------- finding a solution, and Mr. Harold Goltz, Ass't. to the President, discussed a few alternatives thatwould be good probable solutions. I just hope the machinery behind the red tape is fast or within the next ten years there won't be any campusâ€”just one tremendous drive in school. THEM THERE EYESWhispered rumor: Big battle in Legislature this week. everyone, and pondering. And when the meetingwas over and everyone left still eyeing each other and trying to figure out who hadn't dropped the bomb,or who was where, why for when. It was kinda confusing . . . Diddly damn, why don't we have good oldknock down drag out legislatural controversies anymore so everyone can leave feeling satisfied orsomething. There's nothing as stupid as everyone staring at everyone else. IIAN^^HS^^^^Ki^M^^fe^^SfP*1* To Gadfly â€” with love the Creampuffeers (Frantic Frosty, Krashing Karen, BigBad Bill, Malicious Mike) Aha! Muck, dirt, scandal! Oh Boy! Goody! And six members of the Collegianstaff (otherwise known as the Creampuffeers â€” accent in the final syllable) sallied forth, slinking slyly into the Legislatural archives. God! Six Collegian Reporters!! The thought whipped from blazer toblazer . . . and seventeen pairs of beady eyes watched, and seventeen minds pondered. (Something isup â€” why are all the Collegian people here â€” they're up to something again.) And six pairs of beadymuck raking eyes watched, calculated and waited. And seventeen pairs of beady law making eyeswatched and pondered and waited. And everyone watched everyone, and waited, and avoided everyone else's eyes, and wrote notes and waited. Through the reports, eyes calculated; then throughmotions, discussions, committee referrals, and everyone was waiting and watching RESURRECTIONby Ric Stephens And behold there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended fromheaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it. And for fear of him thekeepers did shake and become as the dead. And the angel spake unto them and said: Fear not, I meanyou no harm. I have come only to remove the gross blot that lies on this house. For if you continue tobarricade yourselves with this puritanical plywood you shall succeed only in barricading integrity,trust and freedom. In closing up your house you have also closed up dessention and distrust in yourhearts. So, disregard these untrusting "powers" open your minds, your hearts and the deep crypt inwhich your trust is locked. Open your doors and watch the dark angels of dissention and distrust llyout.

October 27, 1961 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 3 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 4 ---------- APATHY IN A GAP Student Government at Western by Karen Bainter Apathy, apathy, apathy . . . thewords echo hollowly year after year whenever Western's student government, student body or therelationship between the two are described. The symbolic blue blazer, or authoritarian wooden gavel, motions, ayes, nays, committees, gripes and complaints, and the controversies that Clayton, Carson Boysen, Al Randall, Louise Bailey, Dave Corliss, Karen Fortin, Bruce Stubbs, Gary Beeman, Thisyear's Legislature members include Dick Hayes, ASB President; Gordy Mills, ASB Vice President; SueMartin, Secretary; Richard Reynolds, Director of Student Affairs, and John Wuest, GovernmentDepartment, advisors; and Dick Frank, Mike Hyatt, Martin Millbank, Terry Motions, ayes, nayes,committees, complaints, the Legislature meets . . . everyone knows enough about to gripe and rumble,but no one really knows the exact truth of what is going on, or really cares enough to present theiropinion to student officers or to trouble to check facts. Part of the gap between the studentgovernment and the student may be the fact that the average student doesn't know, or really care howWestern's government is set up. The basic skeleton of Western's student government consists of threebranches, just like the United States government, the Legislative, the Executive and the Judicial. Theblue blazer crew, the Legisla-.. ture is the Legislative branch which m a k e s the policies. Meetingswhich are open to the student body are held weekly, Mondays at 4:00 in the Legislature room on thesecond iloor of the VU. Student turnout is usually quite skimpy barring the times when whisperings ofa big controversy seep out to the rest of the campus. Page 4 and Lrnea Wichland, representatives. TheExecutive branch includes the ASB President, his cabinet, and the chairman of the standing boards. The ASB Boards carry out the policies formulated by the Legislature. The standing boards are Pep, Social,Finance, Public Relations, Union, Facilities, Elections, Co-op, and Athletics. The final branch ofthe governmental skeleton is the Judicial branch. Three persons, appointed by the ASB Presidentmake up this board which interprets the constitution in cases oi conflict. But there are still gapsbetween the government and the average student. How many times does the Legislature echo the realvoice of the Western student in its decisions.. How many votes are cast under the influence of purelypersonal biases? How many representatives are "yes men" simply be-caue it is easier thanstanding up for a small point that isn't really WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN too important, orthat is a little too much bother to investigate thoroughly? In an attempt to, reach the student body'sfeelings and views on different subjects the Legislature members are working on a plan by whichthey could talk and be questioned by students at house meetings in campus dorms and living groups.Perhaps, this will narrow some gaps, and kill the fungus of apathy and indifference which grows inclusters on Western's "Don't Give a Damn" campus. AL RANDALL Meet your Legislator by Penny VanSlyke Today while I was guzzling coffee and smoking cancer fags in the Cof-iee Shop, who should come groping through the screen of smoke but Al Randall, your legislator-at-large. Al applied a month ago forthe Legislature and was elected. His qualifications for this responsible job were that he was of Juniorstatus, had fairly high grades, was a member of the Union Board and the Elections Committee. Al'shome is Edmonds, Washington. He attended Everett Junior College for one quarter, but wasdisappointed in the lack of interest displayed by the student body so he transferred to Western. Here, he has stayed and is now planning to graduate in, two years with a Teaching Certificate in English. He AlRandallâ€” Alpiner and English major plans to go into the teaching field, but is also very interestde inpolitical science, his second major. He enjoys all outdoor sports, especially skiing and hiking which explains why he is President of the Alpine Club. October 27, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 5 ---------- Al takes the responsibilities of Legislature seriously; however, he has shown particular interest in twophases. The first of these is the Kui-shan Cabin which is owned jointly by the student body and theBelling-ham Hiking Club. The cabin is in very bad condition and, being as we do own half oi the cabin,we should take enough interest in it to repair it. Al is very emphatic about this and is going on a one-man campaign to accomplish it. So if anyone feels aa he does, talk to him and give him your support. He isyour legislate-and if you want to voice your opinion to the Legislature go to him. He *, working for you.The second phase which he Is interested in is the National Student Association. This is a national!;/represented college student association. They have formed a lobby in Congress through which theycan express student feeling on political issues of the day. Al was quoted as saying, "Being connectedwith this organization will force the student body to come in contact and make decisions on suchissues as Communism and the John Birch Society. This is a way to get our students to think moreabout National Affairs than just about the bars on Higginson Hall." I was very impressed with theinterest shown by Al Randall. He seems to be very competent and is doing a fine job for you. Oncampus there is an apparition known as a piledriver. Throughout the day, one can hear this monsterpuffing and huffing, striving to drive the piles deeper and deeper. Ugly and powerful, it sits there,surrounded by stacks of pilings, hammering and smashing, driving and bashing, molding these hunksof wood into a foundation for1 tile future Humanities Building. The hammer falls endlessly, Kablonk,kablonk, kablonk. I can easily envision this machine as a symbol of an inevitabilityâ€” theinevitability of the statement "The Strong shall inherit the Earth.'' In the classrooms we have theTheory of Evolution and Surival of the Fittest, presented to us is the glorious unfolding of Man's ascent to the top of the evolutionary heap. October 27, 1961 Man is ruler of the earth because of his ability toadapt to new envir-omental situations and to adapt the envirinment to fit his desires. Evolution is change: change is a-daption; adaption is strength. And the strongest shall survive. Again on campus, we havethe Administration setting up rules and regulations for "proper" behavior (also ":or our own good"). Ifone deviates too far from the norm, he will be placed on Social Probation. Kablonk! In Bellingham, themoneyed men (the restauranteers and other "small-' businessmen) control the town's political setup. But this is true of any town of Bellingham's size. These men decide the "proper" behavior patterns of theircustomers. If the customers don't practice these patterns of behavior, it is likely that they will not be customers for long. And the piles are driven deeper . . . In the United Nations Building, Mr. Kruschevpounds the table, screaming threats at the Western Nations. The first reaction of a scared man is toscream. At various test sites throughout the world, nuclear bombs are smashing the earth, sterilizingand gouging it into parched wasteland. Again and again the bombs explode louder, the craters growdeeper, and the men run faster. This month it's a 50 megaton bomb-a crater 400 feet deep. Smash andrun. . . It appears to me that the people in power set up the rules of behavior for those not strongenough to be in power. It may well be that "The bigger they are, the harder they fall", but it is also truethat the smaller you are, the harder you get smashed. Undeniably, Might Makes Right. The HammerFalls . . BOOK THEFTS Thieves run rampant by Don Miller Widespread reports of stealing havereached the office of The Dean of Men. The stealing has been mainly of text books, although many other items have also been reported stolen. The primary areas that the thieves have concentrated on are theV. U. Book Store, the book racks, just outside of the snack bar, the organized student houses anddorms, the Dining Hall (Commons) and stndent automobiles. The percentage of students who aredishonest is extremely small, but this small minority is reponible for widespread stealing which is caus-fESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN ing a great deal of concern to both students and facultymembers. NOTICE: IF YOU ARE CAUGHT STEALING you can and may be suspended from thiscollege; further, it may be entered on your permanent scholastic record. It is requested that eachindividual do the following in these situations. 1. Stolen Book: Report it at once to the book store and tothe Dean of Mens office. If the book is found, it can be returned to you, ONLY if you have reportedyour loss. 2. Found Book: Turn the book into the lost and found as soon as possible. (Located in OldMain at the Business Office.) MARKED BOOKS are a deterent to stealing. Please mark your books insuch a way that they may be easily identified. "Protect your belongings." DO NOT lay down your textbooks where someone may be tempted to steal them. Examples of the stealing which is taking placeare: One student set all his books down in the coffee shop then proceeded to buy some coffee. When he returned, his books were gone. In the book store a student bought an Earth Science book for $5.50He laid it down with the rest of his books and returned to buy a pocket book which he had forgotten topurchase. When he returned to the book rack three minutes laterâ€” NO Earth Science BOOK .'.'.'The ASB Legislature has appointed a committee to check into the possible purchase of lockers to aidstudents in safeguarding their property. If you need books but do not have sufficient funds to by them,you can borrow money from the student loan fund. To arrange for a loan, contact either the Dean ofMen's or the Dean of Women's offices. Page 5 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 6 ---------- WESTERN HOSTS ACU Smothering under heaps of memos, notes and letters Darryl Zentner, UnionBoard Chairman, is finishing plans for the ACU Conference to be held in the VU Building next weekend. The Region Eleven Association of College Union's Conference will began Thursday, November 2, andwind up Saturday, November 4. Over 230 people (both students and faculty) will represent over 40colleges and universities in California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii,British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Last years conference was held at the University ofCalifornia at Davis, California. A cabaret mixer will be held Thursday night iu the Coffee Shop for "getacquainted" purposes. This necessitates that thp Coffee Shop be closed to Western students for theevening. (This is to give you ample warning to start a "migrate to cafes movement" or plan instantcoffee in tap water attempts.) The conference this year will be the largest in the history of theassociation. The agenda of the conference is concerned with student activities, not studentgovernment. The schedule includes banquets, meetings and discussions. "This is a conference wherethings get done," states Darryl Zentner who has attended two others. LEGISLATURE Unanimous Ayes by Nancy Matson At 4:00, October 23, amid low lights and cigarette smoke, Western's seventeen sat around the rectangular table in VU 208â€” the Legislature meeeting was in order. Two items made upthe old business. The first, the Brothers Four. Because only 475 students bought tickets for theafternoon performance, an expected amount of money was not madeâ€”but, as Gordy Mills broughtout, the purpose of the program was not to make money but to entertain. And besides, an A L seriesperformer has never made over $1,500 (to the series large crowds never seem to go, it was added.) Thisseems to justify the loss (yours incidentally), and most Legislature's consciouses appeared to beeased as no one "made a fuss". The second item under old business was to elect representa- DarrylZentner, Mr. Reynolds, Tom Gill Completing conference conference - * Dr. Ronald A. Workman â€” Dr.Alan H.

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

The Union Government concerns itself with the co-ordination of facilities and determinationof standards in respect of higher educaction and research and scientific and technical education. Co-ordination in regard to elementary and secondary education is secured through All-India Councils. TheUnion Government are also responsible lor the running of four universities (Aligarh, Banaras, Delhi andVisva Bharti) and such other institutions of national importance as Parliament may by law declare.Expenditure About two-thirds of the total expenditure on education is met from the government funds,the remaining being covered by funds from municipal a.nd district boards, endowments and tuitionfees. Tuition fee is charged only from the 9th grade onwards and is rather nominal except in the case oftechnical colleges. Literacy Percentage of literacy tor the population as a whole is about 40, it beinghigher in case of men than women. The percentage of children undergoing instruction to the total number of children in the age group 6-11 is about 60 and in the age group of 11-17 about 20. It is assumed thatby 1965-66 all the children between 6-11 years of age would be in school,. This is by no means a meanachievement considering that at the time of independence in 1947 only 14 per cent of India's 360million people were literate where as now 40 per cent among 440 million are literate. Educational system The educational system is divivded into Primary or Basic, Secondary and Higher and Universityeducation. Primary or Basic Education 6-14 years An AlMndia Council for Elementary educationedvises the Central and State Governments on all matters relating to elementary education and topreparation of programs for the early implementation of compulsory and free education. The courses of study are in Languages, Social studies, General science, Mathematics, Arts and music, Craft andPhys- Page 8 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN October 27, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 9 ---------- ical Education. All courses are compulsory for all the students. Among the languages every child isrequired to learn his mother-tongue, which is also the medium of instruction, and take up study of Hindu, the official language of the country, after fifth grade and a third language in the following year. This thirdlanguage can either be lEnglish or any other Indian language. Every school, however, is required tomake provision for the teaching of English which is as a rule the third language. In the case of secondand third languages, the emphasis is on the language expect only. Secondary education 14-17 yearsSecondary education is a self-eou-tained and complete stage because for the majority of the studentsthis would be the end of schooling. Ai - India Council of Secondary Education advises the Central andState Governments in all matters. The curriculum consists of compulsory core-subjectsâ€”Languages, Social studies, General Science, Mathematics and one Crait and three elective subjects.These elective subjects are chosen from one of the seven groupsâ€” Humanities, Sciences, Technical,Commercial, Agriculture, Fine Arts and Home Science. All the schools, however, do not offer all theseven groups, three being the usual. Besides these three electives a student may take at his option oneadditional subject from any of the groups irrespective of whether or not he has chosen his other optionsfrom that particular group. Language requirement at the secondary istage is only one language besidesthe mother tongue. This may be Hindi or English or any other language. Higher and University education Post-secondary education in India is imparted through arts and science colleges, professional colleges,special education colleges, research institutions and universities. The universities are of threedifferent types: 1. Affiliating type, which do not undertake any teaching but merely prescribe courses ofstudy, conduct examinations and award degrees and diplomas in respect of colleges affiliated tothem. 2. Affiliating and teaching type, which in addition to carrying out functions of the afliliating type off-generally at the post-graduate level, er teaching and research facilities 3. Residential and teachinguniversities, which are unitary organizations controlling all colleges under their jurisdiction in allrespects and undertaking teaching at all levels. A number of the new universities belong to thiscategory. Besides these there are special educational institutions i n c l u d i ng schools for thehandicapped and for social workers; schools of music, dancing and other fine arts; of oriental studies,adult education, etc. Special efforts are being made in the fields of higher technical education, ruralhigher education, social education, physical education and sports.

UP TO DATE WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN by Bob Pike On May 7,1945, General Jodl signed the unconditional surrender which ended the war in Europe and brought to aclose the bloody drama of the Third Reich. With the last gasp of Nazi Germany came the death ofEurope as master of its own house. With the close of the war, two giant superpowers would eclipse theimportance of Europe and place as pawns on their chess board the once mighty nations of France,Germany, and Great Britain. In the sixteen years since V-iB day, the cold war has come of age andEurope has become a vital part of the cold war struggle. Likewise, the question which has plaguedEurope since 1848, has become even more of a problem in this contest between East and West. Thatproblem is the role of Germany in European and world politics. Germany Suffers Defeat The Prussianrevolution of 1848 was, by and large, the great impetus to the nationalistic spirit which demanded theunification of the German people. In the two decades that followed, Prussia was to wage warsuccessfully against Denmark and Austria to satisfy that nationalistic urge. In 1870, Prussia and France would fight a war which would end in defeat and humiliation for Louis Napoleon on one hand, and theunification of Germany on the other. In the period between 1871 and 1914, the new Germany was toshow its flexible economic and military muscle in all walks of European life. Then World War I wouldbring the first military defeat that Germany had known. That defeat should have answered the question of Germany's relation to the balance of power. Yet in the final analysis, the Versa! les Treaty was tohave been built upon a foundation of said. Nazi Germany was to rise from the shattered particles of the foundation, in 193?, the world would again be plun-ed into war. This time the impetus would be theGerman invasion of Poland. The question that Europe faced was essentially that of 1941 â€” the growthof German power. In 1961, the question is different, but it still concerns Germany. The difference isone which exists because of the pres- October 27, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 October 27 - Page 11 ---------- ence of two foreign powers in European affairs. The question is now who will control Germany. The Berlin Crisis which the world faces today is only a small part of the total drama of the same question. Berlinis only a prelude to what the Soviet Union has in mind for all of West Germany. If the objective of theSoviet Union is to secure its influence over the territory it now controls in Eastern Europe, then it must be expected that the Soviets will strike at the position of West Germany and Berlin. West Germany,with Berlin as its outpost, stands as the greatest single threat to Soviet security in Eastern Europe. One major reason for this is economic development. Giant of Industry Since the end of the Second WorldWar, West Germany has become a giant among industrial nations. This prosperity of West Germany and Berlin serves as a constant reminder to the Eastern European States that Communism as aneconomic reality is far from Utopia. More and more, the nations of Eastern Europe have found thatCommunism means exploitation by the Soviet Union. To the Soviets, Communism means nationalism.But, to the Eastern Europeans, Communism has meant political and economic imperialism. Berlin isthe focal point of these differences between East and West. Berlin is, as Nikita Khrushchev has called it, the "bone in the throat" of Communist Europe. Examination of the figures for refugees fleeing fromEastern Europe to the West gives support to these economic and political differences. Berlin isdangerous to the Soviets both as a showcase and as a refuge. If tjhe Soviet Union is to tighten itssecurity of Eastern Europe, it must not only eliminate Berlin, but it must eventually weaken the totaleconomic structure of Western Europe. Destroying Berlin as an outpost does not scolve the Sovietproblem â€” it merely transfers i.t Once Berlin is eliminated, the Soviet's next objective must be the inthe European economic structure, is the core of the problem reduction of West Grmany proper. WestGermany, as the cornerstone faced by the Soviet Union. Only by the elimination of West Germanycan the economic power of Western Europe be diminished. Not A Unique Problem The United States,and the West, must view the Berlin Crisis not as a unique problem, but as part of the question on who is to control Germany. The question of Germany must finally be settled, but it must be settled withoutthreatening the long-term security of Western Europe. The freedom of Berlin must be upheld as thefirst step in insuring that security. As long as Berlin remains an outpost of the West, the Sovietsystem will not be secure. Once Berlin is compromised, the West has threatened its own position andthe security of the future generation. THE FIFTH CORNER by Judy Borman To Mr. Nelson â€”Though the issue of Carol E. Williamson's letter to the editor has already been overdone, I would like to point out, in reference to your letter, that Miss Williamson's being "only a Freshman" was one of tworeasons given for her hesitance to take a stand on the issue involved, and was thus subject to fair attack In fact she wrote me a letter amending this statement to read: "Since I have not had the opportunity to gain extensive knowledge on the matter . . . I feel that I cannot honestly take a stand." Mr. SidneyMendel set the minds working and the tongues thirsting as he recounted to a group of student writers his own campus days when aspiring authors met to discuss their manuscripts in a smoke-filled room over a pub. The handiness of a keg seemed to be a constant inspiration and the Western Writer's Club tookheart as they began to plan for future writer's meetings. Any interested student may submit some of his writings to Mendel and to Writer editor Brent Remmert, who will then have the better samplesmimeographed and distributed to others in the group to be discussed at the next meeting. The groupwill meet again this Thursday and the meeting is open to everyone. Something new this year: Coedstudent-faculty recreation in the gym and swimming pool each Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. What hashappened to the English language? Who has hidden the rules of grammar and lost the dictionary?Who has taken the language and drowned it in ambigious, inaccurate verbiage? The answer to thisquestion might well be: the American public school. Somewhere along the line, students have failed tolearn the correct use of their own language. The themes and reports submitted in college classes areoften appallingly poor. Something is terribly amiss when college students write fragrments instead ofsentences and use periods instead of commas. Let's take a good look at our English grammar textand start re-evaluating our use of the language and also, what do you say we take a look at a dictionaryonce in a while? The UN â€” an idea that was too ideal, a concept which was twisted as it grew. Thispast week the U.N. flag has flown the world over and the world over there have been mixed emotionsabout the flying of the gold and blue. The words United Nations bring to mind, not the actualorganization but rather our own country, a nation of many people united under the word "America."Let me quote from Archibald MacLeish: "She's a tough land under the corn mister: She has changedthe bone in the cheeks of many races, She has winced the eyes of the soft Slavs with her sun on them. She has tried the fat from the round rumps of Italians Even the voice of the English has gone dry Andhard on the tongue and alive in throat speaking: She's a tough land under the oak trees Mister.

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

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