NET WORTH Vikingsace Samurais in 16 out of 18 matches page 8 The Western Front 1 Students to fashion fun racer ByEric C. Evarts staff reporter For $3,000, students should be able to drive away this summer with 10credits and a new car , of their own. Three classes in the Vehicle Research Institute, which must betaken together, are offered this summer and will have a combined lab fee of $1,600, on top of the $600summer tuition. Psychology professor Pete Pielstick is one of seven students registered for the class so far. He said he is looking forward to building his own car and bought a 1976 Mazda RX-4 to donate tothe project. In Technology 384,385 and 386, students will each build an autocross car based on aMazda "donor car" each student must also provide. The final cars will be reproductions of the autocrosscar VRI student Ed Wogulis built for the department last fall. The classes will be the only ones offered inthe VRI this summer and are limited to 10 students. So far, only five or six students have paid the $300deposit to reserve their seats in the classes. Pielstick is one. He said he has been a car buff since herestored a 1934 Lincoln V- 12 limousine in 1970 and has "fixed up a lot of cars since." All togetherstudents will probably pay about $3,000 each to drive their own cars out at the end of the summer,Wogulis said. The cars can be made street legal, he said, but their primary purpose will be to compete in autocross eventsâ€”races for time held by local auto clubs, usually on courses marked by cones in aparking lot. Pielstick plans to make his car street legal and intends to use more stock parts from hisMazda than the prototype. In order to be street legal, the state patrol will have to inspect the cars andcertify them as rebodied Mazdas. Ideally, Wogulis said, the donor car would be a Mazda rotary pickup,but since few such trucks were built, any rotary-powered Mazda See VRI on page 4 Families l p | ^ | n t| ] r i p^ Â§j|air|^^ |Â§fÂ§g6|p^^ i ^ ^ s t i :^ f s | h e ^^ | K | | s t^ liiiiiiHilillilllill Juniors Colleen Nelson, left, Alicia Taylor, center, and Erin Nelson, esterhFront Toxicology director signs off Kendall Westernexperienced a "brain drain" last week when Director Ron Kendall of the Institute of Wildlife Toxicologyformally announced his resignation, said Huxley Dean John Miles. The same day, a Huxley committee recommended broadening the scope of the program, from wildlife toxicology to "ecotoxi-cology," Milessaid. Kendall was unavailable for comment on his formal declaration, which is effective May 1.Clemson University officials were also unavailable for comment on Kendall's move to South Carolina.Kendall's resignation and imminent move to Clemson have been rumored for months. "The gist of it isthat we're moving ahead and continuing the wildlife toxicology department. Of course, the players havechanged and the emphasis may change based on the players," Miles said. Huxley plans to hire a toxi-cologist to replace Kendall and hopes to fund a part-time director for the institute, Miles said. Statefunding will be necessary during the transition from Kendall to a new director because much of theinstitute's budget is see IWT on page 4 Smokers crave VU, want ban reversed Several studentspetitioned the Associated Students Board last Tuesday to support their right to smoke in the VikingUnion. Three students asked the board to rescind the Facilities and Services Council's March 8 ban onsmoking in the VU third floor lounge. The council's ban on smoking in the Ala Carte dining area andPlaza Pizza was not challenged by the students. The board upheld the council's decision on the thirdfloor lounge, rejecting two proposals brought by student and council member Kurt Shelton asking theboard to either hold a second public hearing or overturn the council's decision. The council held apublic hearing on the issue March 1. No students attended the hearing. AS President Tammy Fleming said the board is still open to student input on reestablishing a smoking area in the VU. AS VicePresident for Residence Life, Mike Petrie, in presenting the students' concerns before the boardTuesday, said "as a smoker I'm concerned that there is no place to smoke. I think there should be anarea open all hours for people to smoke."

Drums pounded out the start of the FourthAnnual American Indian Powwow last weekend. The dancers moved methodically and slowly to thecadence of the drums and songs. "I used to walk the highsteel as a construction worker, but nowdancing is my profession," Marty Pin-necoose, a Southern Ute from Salem, Ore., said. "It's likerodeo, you have IO be strong, healthy and good to make a living," he added. He described his costumeas being very personal, an expression of himself. Each tribe has a design that designates what regionthey are from and each dancer adds to the design, Pinnecoose said. "I choose colors from MotherNature and the rainbow," he said. The dancers have their own style of self-expression in a dance, hesaid. "It's very spiritual. A beautiful, strong song makes you want to dance, to express yourself,"Pinnecoose said. Touring with the American Indian Dance Theatre, he recently finished a four-week tour in the Middle East. "All they knew about Indians is what they saw on television," Pinnecoosesaid. He described the reception the theater group received overseas as being very positive. "They lovedus. At every performance we got standing ovations," he said. "The powwow is a spectator sport,"Christina Jones, a Western political science major said, adding that it presents a true image oi NativeAmerican culture and breaks the stereotype. "Most of the stuff on television is a hoax, a HollywoodIndian," she said. Kathy Nahanee, from North Vancouver, described the powwow as a chance to set agood example to children. It teaches them spirituality, traditions and helps develop an interest in theirculture, she said. Her son, Wade Nahanee, 8, has been dancing for two years. "It's fun. I meet a lot ofdancers from (other) powwows (I've been to)," he said. Brandy Good Buffalo, from the Pacific WarDance Council, described the colorful two-day powwow as an opportunity for the local community to learn about Native American culture and Plains-style dancing. Rows of tables displayed traditionalIndian arts and crafts for sale â€” blankets, baskets, decorative wall hangings and intricate beadwork and jewelry!

Bashey, 22, of 4004 50thAve. NÂ£., Seattle; and Western student Michael Garske, 23, of 927 22nd St. #9, Bellingham,according to public police records. The three were charged with 2nd-degree burglary and booked intothe Whatcom County Jail after police found eight discharged fire extinguishers in the building,Bellingham Police Lt. Don Miles said. The Bellingham police were called after a security officer foundone of the building's doors ajar shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday and, upon investigating, heard noises inside,Miles said. A police dog cornered one of the men in the building. The two others fled, Miles said, andwere caught outside the building. Damage was set at $400. Student and Human Resources ProgramCoordinator Linda Carr told the board "if we're going to have public events here, we should have places to serve smokers." Currently, students can smoke in the VU coffee shop until 8 p.m. on Monday throughThursday and until 4 p.m. on Fridays. There are also smoking areas in Miller and Artzen halls. Flemingsaid she is aware of only three students who have voiced objections on the decision to the board.Student Ginger Kendrick said smoking during lunch time has become more of an inconvenience forher since smoking was banned from the VU lounge. "Now I have to run across to Miller Hall during lunchto smoke," Kendrick said.

Parts for the prototype camefrom aMazda Cosmo. Wogulis also recommended an RX-4 for the project. All three courses required tobuild the car will be offered at night and on Saturdays, to allow students to work full-time during theweek, Wogulis said. Pielstick will be teaching a morning class but said he expects to spend most of his afternoons in the vehicle shop. Pielstick said it would not be possible to finish a car in the time allottedfor the classes. Practically speaking, most students probably won't finish their cars in the summer,Wogulis said. "There will be a few die-hards who will probably have theirs running halfway through, butmost people will probably just come out with a roller (a chassis with wheels which can be effectivelypushed but has no engine) at the end of the Parents Continued from page 1 summer," he said. Thosestudents could use their cars for VRI projects in future quarters and get them running then, he said.All necessary parts from the donor car should have been removed and cleaned before class begins thissummer. Students may bring parts to be modified to the VRFs shop ahead of time. Students will workon the cars in teams of two or more, he said. "It's really a two-person job. You really couldn't do it byyourself," he said. Wogulis described it as an assembly-line process in which the students completeeach step on first one car, then the other. The lab fee will include many of the supplies students will usein building the car, including the fiberglass from which the body will be made and the steel tubing fromwhich students will build the chassis. The driveline and most smaller parts will come from the donorcar. Unlike most Western students, who found Family Weekend to be an ample excuse to evade dininghalls and kitchens, Elana Borselli invited her parents and two brothers, also Western students, to herBimam Wood apartment for a home-cooked meal. "I made them spaghetti," she said. "That's all I knowhow to make." The Borsellis spent Saturday afternoon watching Elana score a goal at a lacrosse matchand her brother, Paul, perform a Kermit the Frog act during the evening's talent show. Borselli said sheenjoys having her parents visit. 'Tm sure they wonder what goes on up here," she said. Nash Hallparents were treated to a mock game show called "Newly Separated," loosely based on the "NewlywedGame." The show, planned solely by students, poked fun at generational differences. The question "How many times has your son or daughter gone up to Canada since being at Western?" got more than a few unexpected answers.

She added that she wasexcited about being at Nash for this year's weekend. The hall has a lot of first-year students, meaning alarger number of parents were involved in activities. Schwartz, who was an resident director at Gamma Hall last year, said older residents' parents don't usually come up for this weekend. "I like it becausethey're including the family," Schwartz said, "and single parents can feel included, too." IWTContinued from page 1 grant-funded.

To the ear, his accented English â€” spoken with hesitant pauses â€” reveals his intriguing identity: Chris Pampakerides, afreshman, is a Greek Cypriot. His favorite place is Limassol, located in southern Cyprus in theMediterranean Sea. "It's my home. Limassol combines the beach with the mountains. It's like theplayground of the country. And all of my family is there. When I think of Limassol, I think of warmthand fun/' Pampakerides said. The city, second-largest in the island country, has a population of about150,000. His father, mother and two sisters live there. Pampakerides would still be home, too, if itweren't for the fact that Cyprus has no four-year universities. "That's why all of the people who want tostudy have to leave Cyprus. Most of them come back," he said, adding that he plans to return home.After completing high school, Pampakerides served two years in the compulsory all-male military. Oneweek after his discharge, he headed for Western. Leaving his home wasn't easy, he said. "It wassomething I got used to -sr this idea â€” because -I knew for years that if I "wanted to study I'd have toleave the country. I adjusted (to Bellingham) more quickly than I thought and I'm sure my friends here atthe dorm helped me to adjust," Pampakerides said. Cypriot students frequently attend colleges inGreece, England or the United States, Pampakerides said. He came to Western because his uncle lives in Vancouver, B.C. Pampakerides hopes to be a doctor. "That's my dream since I was a little kid," hesaid. Pampakerides never played with a toy doctor kit, but he's not worried about his future bedsidemanner, he said. He plans to transfer to the University of British Columbia (UBC) sol combines thebeach with the mountains. It's in Vancouver, after completing a pre-medicine program at Western. "I feel confident about my grades and I think I will get the grade point required to get into UBC. The classeshere are basic. Well, I'm a freshman, what do you expect? It's basic. I don't expect too muchspecialization," he said. Pampakerides said he sees simi-laritiesljetween Limassol and Bellingham. "I see Bellingham Bay, just at a glance. I feel like it's the same â€” the bay, the port. But if you lookclosely, j , , , â„¢ . : â€¢/â€¢. , - ^ l l l i l ! i i ^ Turkey â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ f t , . . Md illililHiiBHBIHllHi ) Egypt \ I Syria jrLebanon / fS^^y ) /Jordan/ (i~~^J you don't find the sandy beaches," Pampakerides said.Sandy beaches and warm, sunshiny days are plentiful in Cyprus. Pampakerides said he and hisfriends often hung out at the beach, where they played his favorite game of beach soccer. Castles,monasteries and other ruins are also plentiful on the island. About 6 miles west of Limassol is anancient city, Kingdon, that was destroyed by an earthquake 1,500 years ago. Modern dramas andShakespeare s plays are performed within the ancient- outdoor theater at Kingdon. "So while you arethere, watching, your imagination goes centuries back, thinking of the people that were there and what their civilization was like," Pampakerides said. An hour's drive takes one from the beach to the skislopes of the Troodos Mountains. Pampakerides said he's never skied there but often went to his father's home village in the mountains. Cypriots are friendly and generous, and their standard of living is veryhigh, Pampakerides said, with clothing, entertainment and food less expensive than here. If that soundslike a travel brochure it's probably because Pampakerides has had a lot of practice: the country'smain industry is tourism. "In tourism the Cypriots are professionals," he said. Pampakerides hopes tolead a tour group of 30-50 students in late August. He is looking for Western students to join him.Cyprus also exports agricultural products to European countries, and clothing and shoes to NorthAmerican countries, Pampakerides said. Limassol is the center of a wine-making region that produces the best of world famous wines, Pampakerides said. During an annual two-week festival the cityoverflows with people. "There are performances â€” great plays, bands coming from all over the world. It's free wine; you can drink as much as you want and watch the performances. And there are differenttypes of food, native to Cyprus. My favorite is souvlaki, pieces of pork meat cooked (skewered) oncharcoal," he said. The island of Cyprus is believed to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Because of this, Cyprus is often called the Island of Aphrodite or the Island of Love.Jesse Tinsley/The Western Front Chris Pampakerides is a native of the "Island of Love," Cyprus. "Mostpeople think that because Cyprus is so close to Lebanon and Syria, there is much terrorism...we are not so close, but on the map it looks like that. We are not a terrorist area. It is peaceful," Pampakeridessaid. Because of its location in the Mediterranean, Cypriots have experienced frequent trading andconquering, Pampakerides said. The list of conquering countries sounds like a list of Who's Who inthe Old World: Assyria, Egypt, Persia, Arabia, England, Italy, Turkey and Great Britain. The islandcountry was part of the Roman Empire at one time and, from 1878 until 1960, an English colony. Thelatest invasion was in 1974, when the Turks successfully occupied 40 percent of the island andrenamed the territory the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Pampakerides said. The oldest knownsettlements on the island date from 7000 BC. "But those are very, very old and you see just the stonesoutlining where the houses and buildings were. The history of Cyprus is very exciting. You seeeverywhere old, ancient cities. Everyone who passed through Cyprus left their mark, theirarchitecture. (And there is) the landscape, the beach, the sun. "You go somewhere and see thehistory," Pampakerides said. "If you are in a place like here that has no history, then if you live in aplace like (Cyprus) and you see the ruins, the places where your ancestors lived, you feel proud that you are Greek. 1 am proud that my Greek ancestors had advanced civilization." Snazzy colors, big bucks in hair design Hair is, like, the most happening thing right now. We have big hair, little hair, long hair,short hair. There's curly hair that was once straight and straight hair that was once curly. We use gelmousse, spritz, glaze, hairspray, gelee and numerous (and sometimes unmentionable) things to givethat slick, wet look. Say you want your hair to match your eyes. No problem, dye it. What if you onlywant it to match a special outfit? Try a colored mousse or gel. They 're OK because they wash out.Want to look like a hip boy/girl of summer? Frostyour hair or highlight it. Forget lemon juice andsunshine. This is 1989, we use tanning beds and "Sun-in." Hmmm. Anybody besides me thinkAmericans spend too much time and money on their hair? A friend of mine, Frank Boochy of "Boo-Boo's Hair Supply Video" in Sumas, said the hair industry thinks so â€” and they love it. "Look,"he said."You can have a$400pairof shoes, butif your hair looks like hell, you look like hell. It's a matter ofpriorities," he said of the hair's re-emergence as a growth industry. Sounds like a nice idea, but I have to mention "priorities" just bought Boo-Boo a new Jaguar. Haircuts are no different. They've gone from thecarefree trim of childhood to multi-faceted productions. Remember when you were a kid and Mom would slap a mixing bowl on your head, grab the pruning shears and go for it? Sure, it didn't look so greatbut it was free. So what if she nicked your ear. Did it ever take more than Lighten Up Timothy K. KingHumor Writer a couple of stitches? Then there was the barber, this man with no sense of humor, whoyou went to because Mom didn't want to dull her garden tools. This is how it was for boys, anyway. Idon't know what girls did because the one time I went with my sisters to a "beauty school" (love thatname), I disliked it so much I ran outcrying before I could thoroughly scope the scene. All I know is oldwomen kept pinching my cheeks and the place stank like a Monster Perm. , Yuk. Any way, boys would wait for a man named Bob or Larry, try to sneak a look at the Playboy's stacked in the corner near the"Field and Stream" magazines, get a haircut, part with four bucks and still have enough money for asucker from the Tradewell next door. This was practical stuff. I mean, what is hair? It's protein. It's like a piece of chicken or a can of refried beans. Hair isn't even alive. But we forget this, and give our hair thegood care that we save for real important stuff. Like cars. In our priority-conscious world you (I think I'mnow speaking for both sexes) call your designer for an appointment, wait in a lobby, where thefurnishings cost more than your house and read a magazine that costs more than your last haircut,while someone named Fabrice fetches an espresso. Then, you undergo a rigorous shampoo/scalpmassage. Depending on who is doing the massaging, this can be the best or the most terrifying partof the adventure. Finally,, you get the cut. The stylist asks you, "so, what are we going to do today," like they really want you to think they care what you have to say. After a dollop of mousse and some fancyblower work, you fork over $20-$30 and head out into the mall to, like, buy some gel. Your hair looksgreat but your wallet is empty. Anybody notice in this priority- conscious world no Tradewells are tobe found and we're the only suckers? ---------- Western Front - 1989 April 25 - Page 6 ---------- April 25,1989 The Western Front Subliminal Criminals steal first place at Western Jam BradEllis/Western Front Dirty dancing by Michael Jackson (Travis Geving) and Little Orphan Annie (BradleyHutcheson) helps their five-member act capture the Jam title. Performers from Nash Hall win By DeannaOttavelli staff reporter The winner is... "BJ Snazzy 'G' the Subliminal Criminals!" Friday's eighth-annual Nash Hall-sponsored Western Jam competition was deemed a great success by the WesternJam committee. When the lights went out, the audience was treated to 12 different lip sync acts duringthe three-hour event. Eleven were representatives from on-campus halls and apartments. The twelfth was an opening act featuring the Nash Hall staff. From the 11 entries, the panel of five judges chose thetop three acts. Beta Hall performed "Respectfully Yours," a spoof of Aretha Franklin's "Respect" and then "Pink Cadillac" in the finals. They took third place, and received $75, with one female and threemen dressed like women. Three girls danced their way to a second-place victory and $125 for BirnamWood, with "The Fresh Girls." Neon clothes and fancy footwork to pop/dance songs of yesteryear 0ikeToni Basil's "Hey Mickey,") and popular dance songs of today (like "Supersonic") were spliced together.Nash Hall's "BJ Snazzy 'G' the Subliminal Criminals" broke all of Western Jam's past molds. Withrules rewritten to allow more variety and creativity, the Criminals captured first place. Ken Kambich, Bill Ritchie, Chris Heck, Travis Geving, and Bradley Hutcheson, all freshmen, showed how to do a Jamright. Their act opened with Ritchie standing in front of a very large painting of an hourglass, completewith sand that sparkled. The beginning of the popular soap opera "Days of Our Lives" then began: "Likesand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives..." As Ritchie left the stage, Geving came ondressed all in white, looking like Michael Jackson. Carrying an umbrella, he began to sync "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head." At this point, Hutcheson came out dressed in a red dress, white tights and a curly red/orange wig, impersonating Little Orphan Annie. The music changed to "The Sun Will ComeOut Tomor- ' row." Michael Jackson didn't seem to like it and the next thing the audience knew, Anniewas shot by the umbrella, and fell down. Dead? Perhaps. Kambich, Ritchie and Heck then comerunning on stage to Annie's aid, while Geving started syncing "Smooth Criminal" (AKA: Jackson's"Annie, Are You O.K.?"). Just as it looked as if there was no hope for Annie, Jackson seemed to change his mind about his feelings. As the three backups leave, Michael began pouring out his love for Annie, "I want to lay down next to you, I want to touch you..." This comes from the new Jackson video "Moon-walker." See Jam on page 7 Difficulties of women, minorities discussed By Doree Armstrong staffreporter More than 100 women and men attended the "Women in Higher Education: A Cross-CulturalApproach" conference last weekend, where they searched for solutions to the problems minorities and women face today. The conference was the brainchild of Rosa Del Carmen Bruno- Jofre, of theSchool of Education. "The intention (of the conference) was to analyze with honesty a lot of problemsminorities and women discuss," Bruno-Jofre said. She then wanted to come up with answers andrecommendations to deal with these issues. "Everything went perfectly, as planned," she said. "Thefeedback was very positive. The most important thing is the participants felt they grew." Theconference included many speakers from faculty, staff, the student body and invited guests from otheruniversities. Les Blackwell, of the School of Education, said of Western, "We want women andminorities, to provide a better atmosphere for learning." He said cultural diversity benefits students,and that teachers and administrators are here to help students. Luz Villarroel, coordinator of theMinority Achievement Program, said every university must create an environment where individuals ofevery race and culture feel they belong. Villarroel said racial harassment still is a problem on campus."Racial harassment can no longer be tolerated by those of us who experience it once a week."Susanna Hayes, an administrator in the psychology department, spoke about Native American collegewomen. "Who they are is very important to them, and from whom they came is even more important."She praised Lummi Community College as the first Indian community college in the state. "TheLummi nation has a commitment to education." Another segment of the population that needs to be brought into higher education is older people, said Alberta Clancy, a 75-year-old Western student. Itis important to retain this segment because, "Older people become role models and inspirations ... for young people," she said. She expressed concern for the seemingly slow attitude change towardwomen, minorities and older people. It has been getting better, she said, "But after three-quarters of acentury on this planet, I'm getting a little impatient." Student Laura Vance, who is coordinator of theWomen's Center and was co-coordinator of the conference, said, "The place of women in highereducation is evolving, it's changing. (It's) far from impossible." Saundra Taylor, vice-president for StudentAffairs, spoke on "what it's like to be in this community as a woman of color." She said gender and raceoverrides other things valued in an academic society, and that a woman of color encounters a"double whammy." A member of the audience, Karen Wilks, who has been a student at Western since1986, said, "Belling-ham is an interesting area. It's the only community that I've lived in where blacks are not the lowest on the totem pole. Native Americans are. INTERNATIONAL FILMS INDIA TUES. APRIL25 7:30 $2 LIBRARY PRES.

Who can blame a poor insect for seeking a relatively warm, dry place to live?Usually I capture (he critter in a jar and toss it outside, rather than smash it. But this spring'scarpenter ant infestation was too much. Those Sara Olason Science Writer big black ants crawledaround my sink, in my food and all over the furniture. When they sprouted wings, they drove me crazy,crashing into the lamphades and windows. So I called the exterminator, who quickly doused the ant nest with insecticides. But I wish there was another way to control pests like ants, aside from havingpesticides sprayed in my living quarters. I spoke to Doug Dix, of Huxley college, who is instructing acourse in integrated pest management this spring. B?M, as some call the course, combines judiciousspraying of pesticides with biological control measures, and a good dose of common sense. Dix saidresearchers have found a parasite that infects the ants, but it's not too effective against these wood-boring insects. The household cockroach isn't so lucky. Researchers have found a parasitic wasp thatcontrols the roach quite well, he said. The problem is mostpcople don't want to live with wasps, either,so they pick up the Raid can instead. Many farmers also believe "the only good bug is a dead bug," sothey use the quick fix of pesticide spraying, Dix said. But this method often turns into an arms race, with pests developing resistance to each new pesticide researchers brew up. The most celebrated hero in the history of biological control is probably the Australian vedalia beetle, imported to the United States in1889. Within a year, the beetle controlled the cottony cushion scale, which had created a deadly whiteblanket over California citrus groves. Weedy pests have also been targeted. Another Australian beetle,introduced in 1946, has munched down almost all the poisonous goatwecd that had overrun 2 millionacres of Northern California ranchlands. Bacterial sprays against Japanese beetles are also on themarket. Planting resistant crop species, timing when they sow crops and cleaning their plows betweenfields also helps farmers fight pests without pesticides, Dix said. But some situations simply requirepesticides, especially if the pest moves fast. Dix described a corn field in Georgia that was destroyedby a worm infestation. "On Monday, the corn was this high (about three feet). By Friday, it was gone,"he said. "They would have had to spray Tuesday. "If we went cold turkey (and stopped using pesticides)now," Dix said, "a lot of people would be starving."

For further information contact the Publications Business Office, CH 7, 676-3171Free Trade, new careers This year's crop of graduating students will be the first to face both theopportunities and the challenges, presented by the CJanada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Thislandmark agreement between the parties in the world's largest trading relationship, while hotly debated in Canada, seems of only passing interest to many Americans. Perhaps this is because the UnitedStates doesn't think it has as much at stake as Canada. After all, we're 10 times their size in terms ofgross national product. Three-quarters of Canada's exports come here, while we sell them only one-quarter of our exports. When viewed in these terms, it seems they have more to gain than we do interms of untapped markets. But think again: 70 percent of all U.S. and Canadian jobs are in the servicesector, and the FTA allows many kinds of service businesses to engage in free trade. Engineers,accountants, marketing consultants, landscapes, repair businesses and even collection agents cannow apply for Canadian professional and business licenses and set Carole Wiedmeyer BusinessWriter up offices in Canada. No longer needed is the tennis racket or set of golf clubs to justify crossingthe border. This has particular significance for people planning a career in the service sector inWashington State. Canadian trade commissioner Peter J. Fraser, in an April 11 article in the SeattlePost-Intelligencer, made some recommendations to Americans seeking to help take advantage of theagreement: â€¢ Take some time to see what Canada has to offer. Cross the border and see for yourself,or at least pick up the Vancouver Sun and other Canadian publications to get a feel -for the businessclimate. Visit the Vancouver Board of Trade and the WorldTrade Centre atCanadaPlace. â€¢ Startnetworking. Go to their conferences; contact their professional organizations. Make personal contactsin your field. â€¢ Help promote information-sharing about the agreement. (Fraser said few centersdevoted to education about the FTA exist yet.) â€¢ Read the FTA. It's not as overwhelming as youmight expect. It summarizes what you can and can't do under free trade. I found a copy at Western'sCenter for Economic and Business Research in Parks Hall. The government documents section ofWilson Library has a copy, too. While the agreement represents an opportunity to easily expandbusiness north of the border, it also will bring increased competition from Canadians setting up shophere. This is not a bad thing unless we fail to recognize the emerging need to compete with our neighbor to the north. A little knowledge now could pay off in the not-so-distant future. Jam Continued from page 6 Geving then looks up from Annie and syncs a line from Tone Loc's "Lets do it!" and Geving andHutche-son leave the stage. The backup three begin a dance sequence to Salt 'N' Pepa's "Push It."When Geving and Hutcheson come back on stage they both have a cigarette in their mouths, and thesong "I've Had The Time Of My Life" from the movie "Dirty Dancing" is on. A mock dirty dancingsequence follows. This creative act left the criminals with a first place win, and a prize of $200. LeslieJensen, co-chairwoman for Western Jam, was very pleased about the whole evening. "All of the acts you could tell put a lot of effort into it," she said. "None of the acts just went on stage for the first timewithout practicing." Jensen said it was a very high quality show and nearly a professionally doneevent. "I thought it was great. It went really wellâ€”a diverse show," Jensen said. Along with the newchange of allowing variety acts in Western Jam, video tapes of the show are available this year. "Lastyear after the show (they) got a lot of phone calls for tapes; since there was such a demand, wethought that we would offer them this year," Jensen said.

It's definitely not ajingle Western's women's fastpitch softball team is singing after losing two doubleheader games over the weekend to Lower Columbia CommunityCollege. The first game of Sunday's twin-bill proved to be the most exciting of the weekend. With LowerColumbia leading 10-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning, the Vikings fought back and scored five runsto narrow the margin to one run. The Vikes had the bases loaded, two outs and Leann Kelly at the plate. Kelly had already knocked in two runs on her three hits, but drama turned to disappointment as she hit a grounder to Lower Columbia's third baseman Tracy Norgard, who scooped the ball up and threw Kellyout. It was the end of the comeback attempt and the game. "That was the best and most exciting gameI've seen in a long time," Western Coach Marge Flink said. Unlike their previous game, the second game was a one-sided, 15-2 blow-out in favor of Lower Columbia. The Vikes appeared doomed from the openof the second game as Cabrina Bell hit a grand-slam home run in the first inning to help give LowerColumbia a quick 7-0 first-inning lead. Lower Columbia added five runs in the second inning and two more later in the game before the 10-run rule ended the game in the fifth inning. If one team is ahead by morethan 10 runs at the end of the fifth inning, the game is ended and the team which is leading is declaredthe winner. Western was leading Saturday' s first game 2-1 before Lower Columbia sent it into extrainnings with a run in the top of the sixth. Becky Trasalet tripled to score Norgaard from third base in thetop of eighth inning to take the lead before adding two more insurance runs in the Lower Columbia victory. In the second half of Saturday's double-header, two Viking errors helped contribute to five LowerColumbia runs in the third inning of Western's 7-2 loss. "The third inning, with the two errors, really hurtus mentally," Flink said. Western finished its season with losses in all 12 games. Five games that wererained out were not made up. "We accomplished getting a team, and letting the junior colleges knowthat we have a team," Flink said. She expects at least five players to transfer to Western next year,including two pitchers. Western will have all of its players returning for next year. "We'll have acompetitive team next season," Flink said. "Pitching was a problem but our defense was good allseason long." Ruggers lose Chuckanut Bay tops Warthogs By Rob Martin staff reporter The AS Rugby Club fell short in a hard-fought match with the Chuckanut Bay Geoducks Saturday on Amtzen field.The Geoducks, a team made up largely of Western alumnus, outscored the Warthogs 23-7, with themajority of their points coming in the last 10 minutes of the game. It appeared as if the Warthogs werein for a long afternoon, as Chuckanut took only a few minutes to pound its way down field for the firstscore. The Warthogs, however, retaliated by marching nearly the entire length of the field to recordtheir first three points off a kick by Steve Biggs. After the two quick scores, the game became a defense struggle, until just minutes before the half when the Geoducks scored again to up the halftime score to12-3. Chuckanut came out of the intermission on fire, scorching the Warthogs with a quick try andconversion of the point after attempt. A try is scored when a team controls the ball across theopposing team's goal line and is worth four points. The ball is then taken 20 yards out from the goal lineand a conversion kick is attempted. A conversion counts for two extra points. The 'Hogs mounted theirown impressive drive that culminated in their first try. The conversion failed, however, making the score16-7. With the momentum on their side, the Warthogs moved the ball downfield two more times, but only to be turned away just inches from the goal line. Minutes before the final whistle sounded, theGeoducks scored a try. "If we could have taken advantage of those last two opportunities, theoutcome of the game might have been different," Warthogs' Captain Aaron Davis said. "Overall, I felt weplayed a really tough, emotional and hard-hitting game," Davis said, adding, ' i t just came down to themore experienced and organized team." The only thing really hurting the Warthogs is the lack oforganization, Davis said. "We have the talent to win, now all we need is a coach." The future is lookingbright for the rugby team. "We are in a rebuilding stage," club Vice President Herb Reich said. "I'mreally excited about the level of talent on this team," Davis said.

Though minority enrollmenthas almost doubled in this decade, administrators are not satisfied with Western's current studentmixture and are trying harder than ever to ensure Western becomes the melting pot of their dreams. Butin the frenzy to lure minorities to this haven of acceptance and compassion, the idea of integration andblending has been pushed aside. Instead, minorities are constantly reminded of their differences byorganizations pledged to the idea of maintaining that difference. Those who ignore these differences maybe seen as selling out to white establishment culture. Such a system encourages lumping togetherindividuals and labeling them as minorities first. Any other qualities are secondary. Some of theadministration's projects ignore the possibility that they may be overcompensating; instead of a diverseand unified environment, they may be creating a segmented one. â€¢ rhe proposed Associated Studentsminority center, which would take the place of what is now the Grotto during Winter quarter next year, isexpected to provide a comfortable hangout for minorities and all students. Using the word "minority" might cause the "majority" to avoid the center. â€¢In an attempt to diversify residence halls, the Office ofResidence Life is searching the nation for eligible minority candidates to fill resident director positions.Apparently, many minority students are more comfortable living off campus, and don't have the twoquarters of on-campus living required to apply for the jobs. At last weekend's conference looking into theproblems of minorities and women in higher education, Luz Villarroel, Western's Minority AchievementProgram coordinator, said she envisions "a campus where an individual of any ethnic background cancome, feel welcome and leave enriched as a culturally-aware person." Villarroel suggested that Westernacclimatize minority students by having food services offer "culturally sensitive" foods, to supplementthe fare specially prepared for the typical white American student. She recommended administratorsrequire "sensitivity training" for students and staff, including cross-cultural workshops and facultyexchange with minority schools. Her ideas are admirable because they strive to put education beyondthe three Rs and into the realm of societal improvement. Although some minorities may need andappreciate the additional attention they get, others may be missing out on one of the purposes ofeducationâ€”self-enrichment and self-sufficiency learned by being in a foreign environment. This academic and social support should be offered to all students, not because of what they are, but because of whothey are.

Then I looked out the window and saw the busgoing by. "Never mind," I said and slammed out the door, looking at my watch. My watch told me thebus should have been there in one minute. So I walked the seven-tenths of a mile to school, which isn'tfar, but frustrating when I had only about 10 minutes to get to my class. I made it to class, and mywatch said I was five minutes late. The clock in the classroom said I was only three minutes late. But Istill got a dirty look from the prof. That was only one of the times that I have been dazzled by the inane-ness of time. The other day I was getting ready for work, and my watch said I had 10 minutes to getthere. I ran out the Vicki Stevens staff reporter ISH^HSIiii door, jumped in my car and went. I drovethrough a parking lot to avoid the traffic light. On the freeway I went as fast as my little Civic would go (70 mph), and I skidded into the parking lot. I looked at my watch. One minute to spare. I looked at theclock when I rani inside, and it said I had four minutes to spare. Some people would argue that one ortwo minutes are irrelevant to the grand scheme of this fanatical existence called life. I agree. BUT, since everything in our society does revolve around a clock, they should all be in sync. I propose we set aside a day, perhaps in August because no national holidays occur in that month, and make it a nationalSet-Your- Clock-For-Your-Time-Zone-Accord-ing- to-Greenwich-Mean-Time Day. We could all take theday off to set our clocks. It would be a major task for some, for example retail ^clock stores, but for most it would be relatively simple. We would just reset our watches, wall clocks, car clocks and alarmclocks. Then we would all be on the same timelength. Wouldn't that be great? No more dirty looks fromprofs, no more missed buses, no more lame excuses about being late for work. We'd all be so muchhappier. And we'd have another holiday â€” one less day to receive junk mail. Disenchanted by youth...Hoffman goes underground T he last radical is dead. Abbie Hoffman, 52, brash, witty hippie, the last ofthe great counter-culture leaders of the '60s to remain true to his ideals, washed down a few handfuls ofpills with a slug of liquor last week, and committed suicide in Pennsylvania. He left no suicide note, butfriends say he was frustrated by us, the youth of today. He felt he was no longer getting through.Perhaps that is because radicals like Hoffman, along with love beads, flower-print jeans and mop-tophaircuts, have become part of a past viewed with nostalgia by those who never lived it. Hoffman morethan lived it. He helped create much of the '60s counterculture of protest, long hair and drugs. He cuthis radical teeth marching with groups like the National Association for the Advancement of ColoredPeople in 1963, before there were such things as affirmative action or the unrestricted black vote. Hespoke out against the House Un- American Activities Committee, when to do so might mean beinglabelled a communist and possibly being blacklisted from employment. Later, Hoffman was jailedrepeatedly for civil disobedience. He was hounded and beaten by police. He was an organizer of thedisruption of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, for which he stood trial with six others in thehugely publicized Chicago Seven case. Now he is dead. Hoffman never sold out like other membersof the Seven. Radical colleague Jerry Rubin became a stockbroker. Black Panther leader BobbySeale left the scene and opened a barbecue restaurant. The others went their separate establishmentways. Hoffman went underground. Sought for drug offenses, he changed his name, and had plasticsurgery to change his appearance. But he never changed his ideals, and he never stopped fighting thosewho would abuse their power. In his autobiography, "Soon to be a Major Motion Picture," Hoffman said,"There are lots of secret rules by which power maintains itself. Only when you challenge it, force thecrisis, doyou discover the true nature of society." Hoffman challenged, and he never stoppedchallengingâ€”until last week. There is no Abbie Hoffman now, and there is no one like him to lead Hewill be missed. ---------- Western Front - 1989 April 25 - Page 11 ---------- The Western Front April 25,1989 11 Letters Abortion issue not cut-and-dry Editor, I dare say that MarkHines' column, "Cartoon belongs in dumpster," belongs in the same place to which he has relegatedBrian Prosser's April 14 editorial cartoon. Mr. Hines' obnoxious, self-righteous tone manifests hisobtuseness and general ignorance regarding not only the pro-life movement, but the entire issue ofabortion as well. According to Mr. Hines, "It's so easy to say, 'abortion is wrong, so let's outlaw it.'"Fortunately for the rest of us, things are not so cut-and-dry. Let us look at some rather disturbingfigures: Since Roe vs. Wade was passed, over 18 million abortions have taken placeâ€”that's morethan the population of Australia. Every year, 1.5 million babies are killed by abortion. For those whobelieve that every life, whether in its eighth week or 80th year, has a legal and moral right to exist,abortion is more than just a question of women's rightsâ€” it is a matter of human rights. The pro-lifeposition no more ignores the emotional trauma of an unwanted pregnancy than does the pro-choiceposition glorify the benefits of abortion. However, in light of the fact that abortions in the case of rape,incest or danger to the mother's life comprise only 5 percent of the total abortion rate in this country, weneed to think about another legal and moral questionâ€”that of the mother's responsibility to the livinghuman being dependent upon her for its very survival. Mary A. Lane freshman, undecided major Iscampus safe if Earth quakes? Editor, I recently heard that we all live in a high-risk earthquake zone. The Juan de Fuca subduction zone, I guess, lies sleeping right at our doorstep off Vancouver Island. And we are supposedly long overdue for a major earthquake that could cause major destruction to this area. If this information is correct, I wonder what chances of survival we students have should a majorearthquake strike this campus while we are studying dutifully on the upper floors of the library,attending classes in Arntzen 100 or sleeping peacefully in the cliff-side Ridgeway apartments? Dare webegin discussing such a morbid subject â€” to question our safety here? I dare somebody to help me.Let's use this newspaper, people, for something other than Christian complaint columns. Let's see some lively issues discussed here, starting with this earthquake business. Does anyone out there know thefacts? Dare you share them with us? Let's doit! Timothy Orr senior Editor's note: The Feb. 28 edition of the Front contained a lengthy story on the earthquake threat titled, "Quakes could crumble campus." Put year-stones in visible area Editor, While the change is being made to the sidewalk in front of OldMain, I suggest making a change in the layout of the marble year-stones. Instead of branching to thenorth (into the dark, gloomy end of campus), continue placing them toward Red Square and the rest of campus. At present to "walk through the years" of Western's existence one goes first to the right(facing Old Main) then backtracks and heads toward Old Edens Hall and backtracks again to get to therest of campus. It makes more common sense and adds a touch of smooth flowing order (an importantcomponent of our university and to the image it presents) to approach Old Main along the area wherealumni have had bricks placed, then turn right and naturally follow the years and the walkway to the restof the campus. Heading for the trees is something that birds do. Keep us out of the dark and leadourselves and visitors to the bright future ahead of Western.

Butmany in Washington were worried even before the 987-foot supertanker impaled itself on Blight Reef amonth ago, spilling approximately 10 million gallons of oil. For the creatures that thrive in and off of the seaâ€”people as well as animalsâ€”an oil spill may be the worst catastrophe "maginable. Two of an oilspill's most recognizable victims are sea otters and marine birds. "If you're a sea otter, for example, you've got this gooey stuff that just covers you, and you can't see, and you can't navigate, and if you tryto clean it off, you ingest the poison," Huxley College dean John Miles said. "Unless someone comesalong to help clean you off, you're going to die, and even then, it may be too late. Basically, if you getcovered in oil, you're a goner." State Department of Ecology spokesman Ron Holcomb said oil not onlyhurts birds' insulating and flying abilities, but, like sea mammals; they ingest toxins in the oil whenthey try to preen themselves. "Eventually they're going to be exhausted, and they're going to sink, or dieof exposure, the poisoning, or any combination o* those factors," he said. The state and federalgovernment have taken steps to reduce the chances of an oil spill in the Puget Sound. Federal lawprohibits tankers more than 125,000 tons deadweight, or carrying up to about 40 million gallons of oil,from entering Puget Sound. State law, however, requires tankers more than 40,000 tons deadweight tohave a tugboat escort when navigating through the island-dotted waters, Coast Guard Cmdr. MichaelHaucke said. Haucke said 339 tankers traveled through the Puget Sound from January through Marchthis year. In addition, the Coast Guard monitored 77 tankers that bypassed Washington to dock inVancouver, British Columbia. However, the number of tankers traveling through Puget Sound could soon increase greatly. In seven months the federal government will ask oil companies if they are interested inexploring off Washington and Oregon's coastlines. If the companies are interested, the Department ofthe Interior will begin moving toward auctioning off oil and natural gas leases in 1992. "I suppose myattitude would be one of extreme caution in regard to opening Washington coast to leasing or drilling,"Shannon Point Marine Center Director Steve Sulkin said. "Accidents are almost inevitable over a periodof time; I think we've all seen that illustrated. And anytime you've got drilling, and petroleum-producttraffic, you've got the potential for a spill," Sulkin, a Western faculty member, said. "Accidents arealmost inevitable over a period of time; I think we've all seen that illustrated." â€”Steve Sulkin Thefederal government advocates domestic oil production in an effort to become less dependent on foreign oil, said a Federal Minerals Management Service spokeswoman. She added the program may becanceled if oil companies show little interest in its proposal to auction oil and gas leases off theWashington and Oregon coasts in 1992. Dave McCraney of the state Fisheries Department called theprogram "unacceptable." He said the federal government failed to adequately consider theenvironmental impacts of such a program or balance the environment's needs against the needs of the economy. The federal government's plans never may come to fruition, though, because the state isseeking to whittle away at the potential drilling sites, said Ray Lasmanis, manager of the Department of Natural Resources geology and earth resources division. "Unless a political solution is forged back inCongress, we will be fighting the lease-sale until it's settled," he said. Two state-erected barriers thatthe Interior Department must hurdle are Washington's new national marine sanctuary, and a newly-created federal task force that recently recommended the treaty rights of coastal Indians be respected in the offshore drilling debate, McCraney said. McCraney, who has worked with the oil lease-sale issue for the last two years, said the push for the marine sanctuary in part, at least, stemmed from the lease-sale program. "It was certainly a motivation," he said. Although the sanctuary's area has yet to bedetermined, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is looking at an area thatencompasses more than 1,200 nauti' al miles. It would stretch from the state's northwestern tipsouthward to Point Grenville in the Quinault Indian Reservation, and westward for 12 miles, NOAAspokesman Frank Christhils said. The question of tribal interests is a significant one, he said.Washington is the only state with federally-guaranteed Indian fishing rights, and much of the â€¢tribes'interest stems from the potential impact of oil drilling on their fishing industry, McCraney said. Anothergroup following the offshore drilling issue is the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. Brian Dirks,of the NIFC, said his office is keeping abreast of developments in the Interior Department's offshoreleasiag program because it directly affects at least four of the MFC's tribes. The Quinault, the Hoh, theQuileute and the Makah, all coastal fishing tribes, have reservations nearest to any future offshoredrilling, and depend heavily on fishing for their livelihood. "The tribal approach is slow and cautious," hesaid. "They want to make sure the proposed drilling would pose no threat to the fisheries due to oilspills from drilling and transportation," he said. He also said the coastal Indians want to be sure that, if the interior department establishes offshore drilling, the location of the drilling platforms will not interferewith tribal fishing. "Not only for economic reasons are the tribes concerned about this issue, but forcultural ones as well," Dirks said, adding many tribes have their cultural heritage rooted in fishing.Although the state recently all but lost its court battle with the federal government to halt the leasingprogramâ€”"we lost 13 of the 14 points"â€”McCraney believes the state eventually will win out. "Myestimation is that the lease-sale is in real trouble, and probably will not proceed," he said. Thegovernment still must capture the oil companies' interest as well as decide which areas, in addition tothe sanctuary, it will withhold from consideration. "The federal government really needs to look at (usingoil economically) and to recognize the validity of energy conservation, instead of asking us to risk ourenvironmnent to pump out a few more gallons of oil," McCraney^ said.

Battle rages over p By Ellis Baker staff reporter Across the state of Washington, a battle rages in the forests and in thecourtrooms. The battleâ€”between the timber industry and citizen environmentalists^â€” centersaround the remaining 10 to 30 percent of the ancient forests that blanketed the Pacific Northwest just150 years ago. While virtually everyone agrees that some old-growth forests should be set aside for"non-consumptive" usesâ€”wildlife, recreation, aesthetic and cultural valuesâ€”few agree whetherproduction or preservation should come first. Environmentalists argue that old-growth is irreplaceable and that it provides habitat essential for many species of plants and wildlife, including the controversialnorthern spotted owl. Industry proponents argue that removal of "overmature" old-growth will lead to ahealthy young forest of the future, and that environmentalists use spotted owls as a ploy. In the middle of the controversy are the state and federal timberlands. Of 6.2 million acres of old growth on federallands in Washington and Oregon, about 374,000 acres have been designated spotted owl-management areas. But environmentalists claim this is not enough. They have successfully filed three-federalcourt suits to halt logging where spotted owls are found. In a major decision, Judge William Dwyer ofSeattle in mid- March temporarily restrained more than 135 timber sales in Washington and Oregon,pending review of the status of the spotted owl. Richard Whitmore, logging manager for Mount BakerPlywood of Bellingham, insists the owls are not in trouble. He urged an inventory of spotted owls inwilderness and other roadless areas before setting aside any more habitat. In 1973, he said, 220 pairs of owls were identified and 10 times as many in 1989. photo courtesy of Greg Mills Two nature lovers look at old growth near Noisy Creek. Environmentalists agree that a thorough inventory is required, but theyinsist old-growth constitutes the essential reservoir for spotted owl habitat and that the U.S. Fish andWildlife Service suppressed a scientific report recommending the owl be added to the federalendangered species list. Judge Thomas Zilly of Seattle has set May 1 as the deadline for the Fishand Wildlife Service to justify its 1987 decision not to list the owl. Zilly previously called the agencydecision "arbitrary and capricious." Whitmore sees the spotted owl issue as a smokescreen to blocklogging. He believes timber management and production provide important benefits. Michael Frome,Western's environmental journalist-in-residence, offered another viewpoint: "At the same time our naturalforests have been diminishing rapidly, other economic factors have affected the timber industry." It iscorporations who benefit most from selling raw logs to Japan, Korea and other countries, said Frome.The issue is further complicated within Washington by the sale of raw logs from state trust lands,which puts the interests of small mills at odds with the interests of state schools. State lands areadministered by the Department of Natural Resources to fund school construction. The result of thisimbalance, Frome said, is that "timber mills are feverishly shipping raw logs to Japai and elsewhere.While our mills here at home are scraping for leftovers, decks at Japanese mills are piled as high as Mt.Fuji, and those mills ara running round the clock." Environmentalists and small mil owners agree raw log exports are detrimental to the industry. "The sole reason our association was founded was to promotethe domestic manufacture of public timber. Of course we're opposed taM log exports. We have been forover 10 years," said Ted LaDoux, directo of forestry affairs for Northwest Independent ForestManufacturers, an association with about 50 members in western Washington.

"Recycling is the only way we're going to make it," said VeraHoffmann coordinator of Western's Environmental Center. "There is a trend toward recycling onlybecause there has to be." The United States leads the world in paper consumption per person and trailsfar behind in recycling, claims Earth Care, a Madison, Wis., organization composed of environmentaleducators and activists. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates Americans generateabout 3.5 pounds of garbage per person each day. Increased consumption and overpackagingcontributes to America's growing waste problem. With rising incomes, people consume more food, andthe growing demand for carry-out meals and single-serving foods leads to overpackaging. Finding a wayto safely dispose of all this garbage is becoming an increasing problem. Soil and groundwater suppliesare damaged when waste is dumped on land. When dumped in rivers and oceans, waste pollutes thewater and kills living things. When burned, waste pollutes the air we breathe. Western's RecycleCenter, located on 21st Street, is working to solve this problem. The center was started in 1971 by agroup of Huxley College students who lived on the premises. Now it is an Associated Studentsorganization, funded by Western students. Coordinator Jim Madison said the center processed morethan 95,000 tons of garbage last quarter aloneâ€”mainly paper, glass and aluminum cans. Most of thegarbage comes from campus, but some is dropped off by Bellingham residents. way we're going tomake -Vera Hoffmann Madison said a box can be found under almost every desk on campus for paperto be recycled. During the workday, workers from the center retrieve the boxes and blue plastic recycling barrels from every building on campus, including the residence halls. The contents are dumped into *trucks outside, where sorting by 15 student employeesâ€”11 men and four women begins. High-gradepaper, such as computer paper, is sorted from low-grade paper, such as mixed waste paper. Paper,newspapers, bottles and aluminum cans are all separated into huge cardboard boxes at the center.Bottles and aluminum cans are emptied, and the bottles are crushed by machine. (Forklifts are used onthe premises by employees to move the boxes.) After sorting, everything is delivered to a broker inBellingham, who pays the center. The broker is then responsible for having the garbage transported to processors. Paper is sent in bulk to pulp mills to be recycled into new paper. Crushed glass from thebottles is taken to Portland and aluminum cans are sent to aluminum plants, all to be recycled.Pollution plagues Pu lt; By Sara Britton staff reporter You don't have to go to Alaska to witness severewater pollution. Since 1951, when a federal government survey deemed Puget Sound the sixth mostpolluted area in the country, environmental danger has lurked in our own backyard. Bellingham shoresare visibly hard-hit by pollutants, said Huxley professor Bert Webber. "The shorelines are degraded â€”filled in with garbage.

In 1988, the value of imported finished timber products j exceeded the value of exports by $500 million, said publicaffairs officer Ron DeHart of the U.S. Forest Service, adding that about 60 percent of U.S. timber exports last year were raw logs. Small mills in Washington and .Oregon have become almost totally 'dependent on national forest timber.

Whitmore argues the industry has a right to natural resources if used wisely. Hesaid the Northwest's heritage of logging, of rural society, is endangered by environmental pressures;maintaining tradition is more important than preserving spotted owls,, he said. Frome agrees theNorthwest's timber industry isn't what it used to be, but he pointed to increased automation as thereason: "Mechanization in the woods and mills has taken away timber jobs that won't be restored nomatter how many trees are cut." All of these issuesâ€”old-growth logging, spotted owls, log exports, the changing timber industry and state funding for schoolsâ€”are key questions waiting to be resolved. Thetimber industry believes public policy decisions must recognize that natural resources serve publicneeds and uses. Environmentalists, on the other hand, believe forests are valuable for more than timber.Ancient forests, they say, represent biological, historical and aesthetic resources as well ascommodities. "The need to save ancient forests is more critical than ever," Frome said, "not simply ashabitat for the spotted owl or for the other old-growth- dependent species, but as a testament of thematurity of the human species." Sound and local bay Bellingham's Back Yardâ€”The Western FrontApril 25,1989 Huxley appeals to different interests By Mary Beth Neal staff reporter Western's HuxleyCollege of Environmental Studies is one of the few schools in the nation with a curriculum focused onenvironmental issues and problems. "We are often perceived as a place which does only science ...we're much broader than purely a science program," said Dean John Miles. Huxley prepares students for careers in environmental management and teaches students to "think systematically about problemsand problem-solving," Miles said. By providing students with a broad background in biology, ecologyand the social sciences, they'll have more experiences to draw from. "Many [Huxley students] aredrawn to what they do because they find it's socially meaningful," Miles said. Faculty and students ofHuxley are involved in research. Huxley has two research institutes; the Institute of Wildlife Toxicologyand the Institute for Watershed Studies. Students also use Shannon Point Marine Center as a researchfacility. Huxley has "close ties" to various environmental agencies such as the state Department ofEcology, federal Forest Service, Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Students often work on internships and thesis projects for the agencies, Miles said. These opportunities can lead to full-time employment for some. Many Huxley graduates have found jobs helping government or privateindustries meet environmental standards. Some work as journalists and photographers. Others formtheir own consulting companies, Miles said. Huxley has graduated about 1,200 students since it wasfounded in 1970. The student body has grown from 50-75 students to 180- 200 majors now. A Huxleyeducation is usually general, not specialized, Miles said. Those who plan to work their way up in thefield typically move to get advanced degrees. A Huxley masters degree program started in 1983 now has an enrollment of 30 students. Huxley also offers three general university requirement classes that many non-Huxley students take, and many non-majors take electives there. Students need a broad base inthe social sciences to understand the complexities of an environmental problem, Miles .said. Socialsciences are important for identifying a problem's sources and then determining how to implement thesolutions. He said politics, economics and ethics all play a role. "An environmental problem is 'described and defined by the sciences," Miles said, but society has to accept the solutions. arged and said. *uget ind 10- pthe ot spots. About 25 percent of the waste water discharged between Seattleand Tacoma still can be found circulating there six months later, the report said. The report did finddischarges of sewage and industrial wastes, as well as the use of leaded gasoline, coal, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), has decreased significantly in the last 50years. Although clean waterregulations have lessened levels of certain contaminants, the effects of pollution remaining in PugetSound may be irreversible. "We may be at a standstill," Webber said, noting many industries, includingGeorgia Pacific, already have state-of-the- art, pollution-reducing technology in place. The CentennialCommittee cautioned that careful regulation of waste disposal is especially necessary now as population increases. Durning said more than 50.00C new residents are coming to the Puget Sound area everyyear. Each person uses and pollutes about 100 gallons of water a day. Together they create an additional 1.8 billion gallons of sewage per year. The Department of Ecology recently released a plan to clean upBellingham Bay, which has been a lesser priority than the heavily industrial bays around Seattle andTacoma. In light of recent environmental accidents, Webber said, the public might finally be angryenough to support environmental protection measures. e habitat study dent is xr ;ned ts reek vy ted ;sult the is unlikely. "There's nothing that causes us any particular concern," he paid. Huckell-Weinman now must interpret the results and determine what action, if any, the Port must take to dealwith the situation. While Hager concerns himself with the impacts of human beings from the past, TimWahl, Bellingham Parks Planner, is preparing to deal with the expected tide of people in the near future.His job is to keep vehicles away from the lagoon, channel pedestrians to minimize their impact, andincrease the kinds and amount of vegetation to improve wildlife habitat. The project is slated to beconducted in two phases, the first to "stop encroachment" and the second for "fun." The entire projectis expected to cost $60,000. Phase I, to be completed this year, includes: â€¢ construction of bermsâ€” large mounds of soil â€” to provide a visual, sound and wind break on the west shore ofthe lagoon,â€¢ landscaping the 100-foot-wide strip along the west shore with habitat-enhancing plants, shrubs andnut- and fruit-bearing trees, â€¢ construction of a Harris Avenue sidewalk along the south shore, andâ€¢ landscaping the east shore to screen the view of the abandoned Chris Craft boat plant. ProposedPhase II plans include constructing an interpretive trail with lookout points and building protective islands to encourage roosting by Great Blue and Green Backed Herons. Specifics of Phase H depend on theresults of a study of the lagoon's existing condition. Wahl is concerned that old tree bark discarded bynearby mills may have settled on the bottom, creating a toxic layer that could be harmful if disturbed. He would like to see storm water runoff diverted from Padden Creek to the open water to reduce the lagoon's vulnerability to a chemical spill.

Sun-Car: Florida or bust By Eric C. Evarts staffreporter Looking more like a kitchen table than an automobile, a solar-powered car built by Westernstudents was tested April 12 on the walkway in front of the Ross Technology building. Western's car is a prototype for another car the Vehicle Research Institute will build for a solar-car race the summer of1990. The race, sponsored by General Motors, will be from Florida's Disney World to Detroit, Mich.Western is one of 32 schools GM chose to compete in the event, a precursor to the World SolarChallenge in Australia in September. 1990. The prototype is based on the Viking 00 super-mileage car.The super-mileage car's body was removed, and students mounted a flat, 4-by-12 foot solar array on top of the car's tubular frame. This array, assembled by computer science major Richard Ingham, is whatpowers the car's 24-volt electric motor. The motor shaft spins against one of three bicycle tires on thesuper-mileage car. In the test-drive from the institute's shop to the walkway between Wright's Triangleand Environmental Studies, the car completed two lengths of the walkway before a rubber sleeve on themotor shaft slipped off. Yet the car still made the trip back to the shop under its own power. This is thefirst electric car the institute has built, said vehicle design student, Bill Lingenfelter. The students havebeen working on it since December, when GM announced the race. Ingham drove the car in the test,estimating it achieved six mph on the test run. Another student described it as "a slow jog." "Now we atleast have some idea what it's going to take (to compete)," Director Michael Seal said. Lingenfelter saidhe expects the final car will have to go 60 mph. Batteries will be on board as an alternative power source for when cloud cover prevents sufficient energy from reaching the solar array. Lingenfelter is in charge of the project. He will design the final car with the help of Seal and other students. Students from theelectronics and industrial design departments have helped with the project, as well as vehicle designstudents. Industrial Design professor Marvin Southcott has also provided a lot of know-how for theproject, Lingenfelter said. Western was awarded $5,000 for the development of the car at an awardsceremony at GM headquarters last week. The Department of Transportation donated an additional$2,000. Bill Yerkes, who works in solar research for the Boeing Co., donated the silicon solar cells topower the car through Arco Solar, said Lingenfelter. Lingenfelter said the department also will belooking for private donations to complete its design effort. Lingenfelter said he expects the race to takefive days, with cars covering 200-250 miles per day. Teams will be allowed to charge the batteries for two hours each night, and for two hours before the start each morning. Cars that don't finish a day's leg ofthe race could be towed to the checkpoint, but this would sacrifice valuable battery-charging time.Lingenfelter and Seal would not release any other technical details, for fear that other schools wouldcopy them. By Angela Reed staff reporter If contamination of groundwater isn't on people's minds,Huxley professor Richard Mayer says it should be. In Washington state, 75 percent of the populationget their drinking water from wells, which are rarely tested for contamination, said Mayer. Groundwateraccounts for 97 percent of the earth's fresh water, fresh water constitutes only 1 percent of the earth'stotal water supply, Mayer said. "We don't have a whole lot of fresh water on the planet; we might thinkwe do, but we don't." Groundwater is high-quality water found in deposits called aquifers, 10 to 100 feetbeneath the soil. An aquifer can underlie as much as an entire state, Mayer said. Contamination ofgroundwater is mainly caused by industrial waste and massive use of chemicals in agriculture,especially pesticides, Mayer said. If contaminated by a toxic substance such as an agricultural orindustrial pesticide, groundwater "Nature has a way of cleaning the air, but not the water." â€”DickMayer isn't fit for consumption by humans or animals or for agricultural use, he said. One suchpesticide, ethylene dibromide (EDB), was banned nationally in 1983 by the Environmental ProtectionAgency. Lab reports from experiments done on animals in 1970 proved EDB to be the most cancer-causing chemical known, Mayer said. Although no solid evidence exists that EDB affects people, thismay be because people take longer than animals to contract cancer, Mayer said. At least 20 wells inWhatcom County were found to contain EDB before it was banned. However, "most of the groundwaterin this county is uncontaminated and high-quality drinking water," he said. Most people in Bellinghamget their drinking water from Lake Whatcom after it is filtered and treated. Industries contaminategroundwater by dumping wastes onto the soil, or by drilling deep wells into the ground and injecting thewaste into the wells, which can then leak directly into the groundwater. In order to preventgroundwater contamination, "we all need to understand more about groundwater," Mayer said. Hebelieves incineration of waste may be the best solution. "It's wiser to burn things in an incinerator thanto bury them in the ground," he said. "Nature has a way of cleaning the air, but not the water." Although some people are concerned about incinerators causing air pollution, Mayer said he thinks incinerationcan be perfected. In addition to providing a safe method of waste disposal, incineration can generateelectric power. Another method of preventing groundwater contamination is to eliminate someagricultural pesticides that can permeate the soil quickly, Mayer said. Although alternative methods ofwaste disposal and agricultural pest control may be costly and time-consuming, Mayer believes thehigher cost paid for groundwater contamination is the loss of aquifers and public health. "I thinksociety has to reconsider the price tag and which way we should go," he said.

This was accomplished by publishing a questionnaire last week that reflected a hostile atmosphere on the part of the student body. Also, various and sundry remarks were let fall to the effect that the Valkyries were about to be disbanded. The result was most gratifying. The girls responded nobly in the face of much opposition. They were so mad that practically every one of them came to the game. They cooperated to the nth degree with the newly formed men's rooting section. More power to the Valkyries! But be that as it may, we'll never try another plan like it again. Why? Did any of you ever have thirty-five angry females on your trail all at once? 'Nuff said. TICKLISH What with the tugboat crews all on strike in New York harbor last week, some of the larger ships had considerable difficulty getting to their docks. The job of berthing the mighty Queen Mary without the aid of any tugboats must have been quite a job. It is said that one of the senior officers collapsed after the ordeal. _ However, the • maneuver was accomplished without a hitch. If any of the calculations had gone astray, there would have indeed been the devil to pay. The great ship would have carried, everything with it. Meanwhile the striking tugboaters watched the process and laid Wagers on the success or failure of the outcome. With the dispute finally ironed out it would no longer be possible for one side to say to the other, "Dont hand us that line." EYEFUL In the East recently was an aged farmer who was about to go blind. For years his sight had been failing. First one eye became useless, then the other slowly began to reach the same condition. The old man was desperate. At long last he found a doctor with a new idea that he wished to try. Accordingly an operation was performed in which the eye of a rabbit was grafted to the old man's failing optic. The operation was a success, as have been • others tried since .that time. Doctors contend that the same thing may be possible with the eyes of other animals. There is only one thing that we are worried about. Will the new eye light up at the thought of lettuce? of a nice juicy bone? or a saucer of milk? depending on its point of origination? SPIKED? . The Bandsmen's Inferno was a great success last week. The music Was good. The night Was warm, and the dancers likewise. When the intermission arrived, everybody rushed for the refreshment stand. The rush was composed mainly of ardent swains attempting to secure a little dust settler for their gal friends. However, it is to be noted that many of the stalwart fellows paused to lap up a few cupfuls for themselves before heading back to the feminine element. Now this is a particularly unmannerly thing to do, what with the little ladies waiting impatiently, and such. We drank the first few cups so fast that it Wasn't until We went back and sat down that we discovered the cider was slightly fermented. It might "possibly have been purely psychological, but We seemed to feel livelier for the duration of the evening.

Modern education was discussed at length by Dean Charles E. McAllister ofx Spokane and Raymond F. Hawk of Cheney. This afternoon elementary sectional meetings in separate rooms will furnish program material. Twelve of these dealing with as many subjects, are planned. Other items include election of officers of the WEA department of classroom teachers. At present Dr. R. Canfield and Verna Eastman, both of Yakima, are in the running for president. Special Group Meetings The Washington state dairy council is sponsoring an exhibit of free health education material as a sideline, while the NYA will have a representative present on both days to discuss NYA problems with school heads. The newly formed WEA division of elementary principals will elect a regional director Thursday while the Industrial arts and vocational teachers' group will hold its election of officers Friday.

College Students Found Healthy Tests Supervised by Miss Mead; Retests Will Begin Immediately; 889 Students Take Examination "This year's health examinations revealed that the general health of the students was so good, not one student was excluded from school," stated Miss May Mead this week concerning the health examinations. Under Miss Mead's supervision, the examinations, required of all entering students, were completed Thursday, October 13, in the PE building. There will be retests, as in previous years, for those who were found to have defective eyes, heart or other ailments. The test was given to 534 women and 355 men during the two weeks necessary to complete the tests. The doctors in charge were Dr. J. C. Wiik; Dr. P. A. Wheaton; Dr. B. J. Gilshannon; Dr. W. C. Moren, and Dr. W. S. Moore. They were assisted by Mrs. Rosellen Hanson, matron of the WWC - infirmary; Miss Helen Hostetter^ a former student of WWC, and Mrs.. Maude Dol-henty. The Wasserman blood test, blood count, and urinalysis will be given to all entering freshmen and transfer students. Retests will be given to those students who were found to have a low blood count in last year's tests. Students are asked to watch the official bulletin for further details. You Guess Lapinski, Gerry, Goheen, Gooch Chosen as Other Officers; Senior Commissioner Late, Bob White was elected president of the newly organized men's club, the Norsemen, according to a late report to the Viking last night after the elections. Stan Lapinski, vice president; Ross Gerry, secretary-treasurer; John Gooch and Jim Goheen, frosh commissioners, were the other officers elected at the runoff poll. Finals for senior commissioner, that between Evan.Hill and Prank Nimms, will be run next week. The new club is pledged to "—carry the responsibilities for . . . certain designated student activities; to stimulate good fellowship and feeling of unity among men students; to co-ordinate the efforts of the organization with those of wom-ens organizations in the best interest of the student body as a whole." Adoption of the Norsemen's constitution was unanimously accepted at a meeting of pledged members Monday. When a preliminary election gave no candidate a clear majority judges declared another election and the finals were run off yesterday. In an interview the Norsemen's president said "No, this is NOT the reorganized men's club. That club died because it had little reason to exist. It is gone—buried with the old Normal school, bur objectives are definite: first and foremost, perpetuation of a group that will not only serve the men, but the college as a whole. "The Norsemen have already shown that they will make theirs the most active club on the campus— although the Valkyries are certainly doing things this year. They were very quick to respond to a challenge and invitation; they co-operated beautifully with our cheer unit last Friday. You Guess Class Officers Chosen By Frosh; Kilbourne President Reroute Busses! Do YOU want\ the busses to be installed on Twenty-First street sometime in the not-too distant future to come up High and by the campus instead of along Garden only? Remember those long steps up from the street car line? Standing down there in the drizzle waiting for a car? And remember peering out those wet street car windows on dark nights' and wondering where Western Washington college could be and sometimes you rode blocks past? The Viking and the Norsemen are sponsoring a petition to the bus company asking that busses be routed up High and by the college. On each bulletin board is a petition.

Homecoming Firp Bum Bright With HOMECOMING so close and plans being made for another super and better HOMECOMING, many "best-ever" ideas are springing up everywhere. But none is better than that of the Viking about burning a streetcar on HOMECOMING night. Last year the bonfire was burned right out from under the freshmen's noses the night before HOMECOMING. This year's crop of frosh swear that it won't happen to them; they're going to build the pyre the day of HOMECOMING And the Viking says, Let the Frosh build their bonfire . . . and protect it. We want to burn a streetcar as part of Homecoming, celebration. The townspeople did it in Tacoma to celebrate the going of the streetcars . . . and we can do it here. And Much Brighter Yet! While we're burning streetcars, let's pick the one to burn. The Garden street car. And let's burn the Garden street car just for spite and because it went up Garden street instead of High for the last forty years. For every stop we had to take climbing up to High let's break another window and light another fire. And just because the college is on a hill is no sign that we have to climb that hill on foot. We want the bus line to come up High street. Sign the petition. Elks Are Pals of WWC Last week Harold Lant, exalted ruler of the local chapter of Elks, readily agreed to relinquish the armory in favor of WWC for Homecoming dance. The Elks had made arrangements to have the armory on the 19th but when they found that WWC's HOMECOMING was on that date they sacrificed their plans so that we might not have to change ours. Many thanks to the Elks and Harold Lant. Dormant Valkyries Awaken The Viking has been criticized for its attack on the Valkyries. But it is self-evident that this "attack" was successful. The turnout of Valkyries at the Frosh game showed that to some extent the Viking's editorial comment has been effective. The Valkyries have got what it takes, and all they need is a chance to prove it. The club has been dormant for a while, but they have had their awakening . . . and a rude one, too. Something that they overlooked, though, was the advantage of all sitting in one reserved section. The Norsemen are all for it and the other live-wire clubs in WWC are getting organized into a huge cheering section for the HOMECOMING game. Of course care would have to Be taken to keep the reserved section reserved, but the bother of all that would be well worth while. Thru The Lobby AMERICAN—Friday through Monday.

SOCK BUSINESS ....Ten million bucks will be expended by a company in the U. S. to build a plant which will make synthetic yarns so that the Japanese silk worms will be run out of business. Of $100,000,000 worth of raw silk imported from Japan, at least 75 per cent of this is invested in the hosiery business—women's hosiery. The new plant will manufacture a rayon thread that can be used to knit stockings of similar appearance, quality, and strength to the genuine silk product. Dance Sponsored By: Veterans For Boy Patrol To raise money for school boy patrol equipment, the William Mat thews post 1585 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, are sponsoring dance at the Eagles hall, Armistice day. This is the first year that., the WWC has had a school boy patrol, consequently this is the first year that such a dance has been brought to the attention of our students through the Western Viking. However, since December, 1933, the local branch of the V. of F. W. has spent $841.76 on the purchase of school boy patrol equipment in Whatcom county. The greater percentage of this money has been made through the medium of the annual school boy patrol dance.

The new glaze fuses at a low temperature, making it especially valuable for use in the special type electric glazing furnace installed last summer. This furnace develops a temperature ranging from 1700 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. With the collaboration of Professor Cox, electrical department, and of Professor Brown, ceramic engineering depart ment, of Iowa State college Miss Richardson had the furnace built while conducting research in the ceramic engineering college during her last vacation.

The Vikings whipped the Frosh. Not only defeated were the Husky yearlings, but outplayed as well, as the Norsemen piled up 17 first downs to the Pups 7. Chief factor was the accurate passing of Bob Tisdale and Howard Jones, who completed thirteen out of eighteen aerial attempts. The first half was scoreless as one side, then the other, threatened. The Vikings twice bogged down inside the Frosh 30-yard line, and the Husky Yearlings completed a pass over the Bellingham goal only to see the play called back, and a penalty of fifteen yards inflicted on them for shoving by Wayne Sterling, giant Hawaiian tackle. With the opening kickoff in the second half, the Viking machine began to roll. Twice denied inside the Huskies' ten yard line, Tisdale, Chorvat and company started back, with Tisdale firing to Jones, Mun-kres and Tisdale reeling off gains through the line, and climaxed by Jones wobbling a pass to Captain Fritz Chorvat, who made a fine catch and dove over the line for the tally. Reischman failed to kick the conversion. Lappenbusch then sent in his second stringers, and the Huskies started a drive with Thompson, burly fullback, smashing off huge gains. With the replacing of the Viking first team a different tale was told. Unleashing a vicious passing and running attack, the Norsemen pounded to the Frosh 3-inch line where only the final gun stopped them. We Can't Tell Red Raiders Idle; Seconds Play Hard-Working Ed Ed Reischman, hard-driving tackle from South Bend, who is playing his second year as a regular for the Vikings, "will be in the starting lineup when the Vikings play Ellensburg in their first Washington Intercollegiate Conference tussle: tomorrow afternoon at the Central Washington city.

The Borderites are undefeated in the last few years, and reign as topheavy favorites to sink the Pups. Swede Anderson's Raiders have signed up Seattle Prep for a Thanksgiving day tussle, it has been reported- by inside authorities. The Turkey day classic is slated to take place at Battersby field. What Is It? Latest word from the PE building intimates that the 1938- 39 Viking basketball team will contain a junior varsity as well as a first squad. This will give experience to, the future stars and also give credit in PE to numerous athletes unable to make the varsity. In past years the jayvees have played preliminary games to the Viking encounters and probably will do the same this year. You Guess MORSE Hardware Co.

C, Saturday evening on the Whatcom High School floor, 20 to ID. It was a closely contested, hard fought game from start to finish, but the boys from the Normal gathered in the first basket and continued to lead all the way. At the end of the first half Coach Carver's team was leading 13 to 3 ami each team, succeeded in annexing 10 points in the second half. The Whites showed some fine team work and were exceptionally strong on the defense. ., The ability of Vandford and Hughes to ring the basket kept the Canadians worried at all stages of the game. The guarding of Fisher and Keplinger kept the Vancouverites away from the basket most of the time. Cone, the rangy center, played a strong game both on the offence and defence, as did Black, who took his place late in the second half. Saturday's line-up: Normal (29) Vancouver (19) Vanderford (11) F Bruce (S) Hughes (10) F Bison (4) Cone (4) C Woodcox (1) .Keplinger (2) G Meadows (2) Fisher G Abercrombie (4) Substitutes—Black for Cone, late second half.

TWENTY-EIGHT NEW STUDENTS ENTER Twenty-eight new students have entered our school since the holidays, most of them choosing the course in primary grades. Former students of the University of Washington contributes the largest per cent of this number. The following "U" students are now at work here: Helen Anderson, Seattle; Helen Dil-labought, Seattue; Brilliant Keeton, Snohomish; Verna Middlebrook, Tolt; Cara L. Oiling, Waterville; Emmogene Powell, Chehalis; Josephine Powell, Che-halis; Edgar Stonehouse, Bellingham; Maurilce Taft, Beach. Those from other schools are: Marie Allwardt, U. S.

YELL KING ELECTED OF 1 POPULARITY DATES BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL DAYS MASON HALL Mason Hall, yell king, member of the board of control, president of the Senior class, member of the debating team, is now editor of the Klipsun. the Senior annual, according to the vote of the Klipsun board on Thursday last. Mr. Hall's policy in handling the future Klipsun, is best given in his own words: "'The Klipsun should be representative of the best work done in our school. To make it such I want to encourage everyone to do something for the Klipsun. An essay, a cartoon, a poem, a picture; anything you may like and can do the best. An unprejudiced opinion is guaranteed in selecting the best work. Be a 'Booster* and help make the Klipsun of 1922 the best this school has ever issued." Mr. Hall's monopoly on student offices has come through his tireless work as a school booster and his popularity among his fellow students. What ever he has undertaken he has done well, from his class work to the Board of Control. We have every reason to expect, at this year's end, a supreme annual of the Klipsun. The popularity of Mr. Hall dates back to his high school days, where he held the offices of president of the student body, president of the Senior class, class historian and received the greatest number of votes as the most popular student, also as the greatest politician in school. The Winlock News, Mr. Hall's hometown paper, gives .as his favorite sport—the holding of offices. B. S. N. S. VICTOR HUGHES CAPTAIN OF BASKETBALL TEAM Victor Hughes was elected captain of the Normal Basketball team Tuesday night. The choice of Hughes is very popular as he is one of the cleanest, flashey players ever seen in this part of the country. Hughes was a member of last year's "Frosh" quintet of the University of Washington and will be remembered as Captain of the Famous 1918-19 WOiatcom High .School team, which won the state championship and then lost to the strong Moscow, Idaho, team by one point. STEWART HEADS THE MISS PRESTON APPOINTS ILLITERACY COMMISSION Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart began as a count yschool teacher. Step by step, she has elevated herself from one position to another. She is now considered the leader of the National movement against illiteracy. She possesses a charming personality, and has rare ability as a speaker. She is- very humorous as well as instructive. Mrs. Preston, our state superintendent, was fortunate enough to secure Mrs. Stewart for a short tour of the State of Washington. She comes to this state with the express purpose of starting a movement to abolish illiteracy. A few years ago nothing was being done to quelch illiteracy; today many great organizations have that as their prime purpose. In the election in 1920 the two great national parties took that as one of their issues. Americas greatest issue is today the arms conference; second in importance is the. campaign against illiteracy. What is a "Moonlight" School? Mrs. Stewart declared she had heard this term misconstrued to "Midnight" "Twilight" and even "Moonshine." Mrs. Stewart first became aware of the necessity of educating illiterates when she was a county superintendent of schools. Through Mrs. Stewart's efforts, the State of Kentucky organized the "Moonlight" schools in that state. These schools had for their one purpose the removal of illiteracy in the state. The first night the school opened twelve hundred illiterates enrolled, among them some who had the appearance of professional men. The ages of these twelve hundred ranged from eighteen to eighty-five. The next year sixteen hundred were taught to read and write. At the present time the only, illiterates in the Stae of Kenucky are the mentally and physically deranged. She issued Kentucky's record as a challenge to the State of Washington. There are 1S.526 illiterates in our own state. Whatcom county has 578, and of these, 230 are in our own Bellingham. What are we going to do to remove this? As Normal students, we are first (Continued on Page Two) (Unlmhnv MONDAY—Jan. 16. Miss Cummins will address assembly. WEDNESDAY—Jan. 18. Mr. Kibbe will give a talk. FRIDAY—Jan. 20.

CORA WILSON STEWART HEADS THE ILLITERACY MOVEMENT (Continued From Page One) in line to remove this blot against our civilization. Will we act or will we let "George" do it? Let us resolve that when we become teachers, and, until we do as well, to do everything in our power to educate the illiterates in our own county. With the entire removal of illiteracy from our state as our goal. The campaign to abolish illiteracy in the State of Washing-ton took definite shape Saturday when a state illiteracy commission of nine members was named by Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, state superintendent of public instruction. The commission will have the responsibility of teaching the 1S.526 illiterates in the state to read and write. . The first meeting of the commission will be held in Olympia during the latter part of January, it was announced, and at that time a committee will be named for cieh .county in the state to take the local responsibility for reaching the illiterates and redeeming them. The appointees on the commission are: C. D. Cimnincrhani, state commander of the American Legion. Cen-tralia •. Mrs. A. E. Larsen, president of the Washington Federation of Women's Clubs. Yakima: Chapin Foster, president of the state press association, Grand-view; Mrs. C. A. Varney. president of the state press association, : thrthetu the state branch of the National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers' association. Yakima; George W. Peddy-cord, president of the board. The State of North Dakota has challenged Washing-ton to be the first to wipe out illiteracy and has set 1924 as the time to complete the task. It is expected that the illiteracy commission of Washington will set a time just a little nearer than the North Dakota limit. A course of study and slogan for the campaign will be worked out by the commission at its meeting. Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, chairman of the illiteracy commission of the National Educational association, is cooperating with the state in the work. 13. S. N. S. — "Pardon me," she -said to the li-lirarianj "But have you a book on American Education in. the twelfth cen-turv?" T PLEASANT TRIP After a very short vacation, Miss Helen Beardsley, of the French department, lias returned to work. Miss Beardsley visited the home of Dr. Nash's youthful days, and also Boulder, Colorado, her former home. Next to Bellingham, Miss Beardsley places Boulder as regards beautiful location and surroundings. Boulder is strictly a college town, devoted very largely to college interests. Miss Beardsley is very proud of the LTniversity there, for the Mackey Auditorium is one of the finest in the United States. It seats 4,000 easily, and well it might, for the auditorium itself cost $250,000. This sum was presented to the school by a retired banker. The upper floor is devoted entirely to Art, containing statues, pictures and photographs. A vehement faculty member has visited Athens five times for the sole purpose of photographing that beautiful city. Miss Beardsley, in genuine fervor, said: "'On one side one sees the noted Colorado mountains rising up in shiny jutted peaks to the other side lakes (artificial) but as beautiful as those of Geneva: while in front are glowing plains, a heavenly place for the sun slowly to hide behind." Although she was entranced with Beautiful Boulder, the charm of Bellingham easily displaced Boulder in her heart; for Bellingham has the ocean, that mysterious something that holds one. , B. S. N. S. Miss M.: "Plow did you get that stitch in your lip?" TT. G.: "Oh, I got hemmed in a crowd." ]3, S. N.. S. Prof.: "As a success you have been a failure." Student: "Yes professor, but as a failure I have been a success. B. S. N. S. Normal Junior: "I see the Training school is going in for Lumbering." Stupid: "How so?" - N. J.:"We now have a; Trunk and a stump teaching iii the Training department. Miss Roberts, our new Education 8 instructor, said in a recent interview, "The variety of climate here, was, I think, my very first impression. You have , here the clear blowy days of Kansas, the warm summer mildness of Virginia, and the rainy daj^s of Wisconsin. Altogether, the climate is wonderful and one cannot be here too long!" Miss Roberts has already become a victim of our Sound's climate and she continued to talk of it with enthusiasm, "There is a heavenly lure about Puget Sound that inevitably draws about this great Northwest that holds one. It seems to me that all Sound people should be big-souled and free, and from those with whom I have come in contact, I find this big-soulness and freeness carried out." In the school, Miss Roberts has found friends on all sides and consequently the usual lonesomeness and homesickness are lacking. She is greatly impressed with the opportunities that the students have with extra school activities, through music and clubs. She believes that the student must have this extra-activity if she is to become a factor in the community in her capacity as teafcher. Miss Roberts is very much interested in our beautiful new dormitory and she looks to it as a factor in training the student, the essentials of a home. Miss Roberts feels that the future teacher that goes out in life needs this social training that only such a social center may give. "After the first week, I found in writing home I referred to the school as our school, and I account this to the big-souled community that has made me feel so completely at home." B. S. N. S. The butter ups are washed and dried, and safely set away. The cattle mewing on the hills, Await another day. The pumpkins plucked from off the trees, The apples dug and packed.

A visitor in the Junior High School at ten minutes of nine in the morning-would find a well planned tour of inspection in progress. Some very iuicresting and purposeful class discussions are being held each day. Last Wednesday afternoon at the regular assembly period, a very enthusiastic rally was'held. The main object was to arouse some enthusiasm for Friday night basketball game with Eureka. The Junior High pupils boast of two song writers. Two of the songs sang at the rally last Wednesday afternoon were contributed by Dorothy Strong and Mabellc Powell! both of the 7ih Grade. Club Song.

There was a soft rustling like the crushing of tissue paper when he sat down among the drifted leaves. The summer's wind roused the rafters of the trees, and from far away a whippoorwill called to its mate. The moon rays tinged the few misty clouds in the sky. He laid the old squirrel rifle on the cool moss. He knew that' Jim Conn would come presently and then all would be over.

Jim Conn would cross the ridge that night, he knew, and he contemplated shooting him in the back. Down in the little valley a light blinked from the Conn cabin, and from the fireplace, blue smoke curled up into the moonlight. He sat meditating, thinking of his boyhood days, days when he and Jim Conn, as barefooted boys, fished and waded creeks together then came the family feud, and now "only me and him are left" he mumbled aloud to himself. The wind grew stronger, causing a rubbing and squeaking among the pines. A noise sounded down the dim trail. He examined the rifle carefully letting it rest across his knees. A night hawk sang nearby, its notes re-echoing in the cliffs. He wondered if the rifle shot would be heard in the valley. A slight trembling shook his strong body at a vision of Jim Coim rolling to one side of the trail, the warm blood making a wet patch on the ground and leaves. Suddenly, on a carpet of silver, mountain moss, Avhere the dew sparkled in the moonlight, two misty, bare-footed figures appeared. He hovered closer in the shadows and watched them melt away. He stood up, leaning against a tree, trembling. Someone was coming up the path. He tightened his grip on the rifle and waited. The man coming up the trail, whistled an old tune. Again the two misty figures drifted across the open space. He laid the rifle on the moss; he knew now that he could never shoot him. He stood in the shadows with moist eyes, and watched the tall figure of Jim Conn pass on into the darkness down the mountain. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1922 January 13 - Page 4 ---------- BEI/LING-HAM,-"WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1921 The WEEKLY MESSENGER Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham.

King MARY ANN'S GRADES TWO OR THREE hundred times there was a girl named Mary Ann Mary Ann wasn't really "smart," as tlin people ot! her home town admitted, but she was quite a bright girl and "never had no trouble at school." Mary Ann went to Normal. She was a little bit afraid at first, but she soon discovered that things went quite smoothly even-when she didn't study. True, our heroine didn't receive any laurels for scholarship, but neither did she receive any pink slips. So that was that. But, wait! Mary Ann applied for practice teaching the second quarter and received it. Yes, Mary Ann received a two-credit assignment. Her lesson plans were pretty badly mutilated and her supervisor was frankly dubious. The third quarter came to an end and Mary Ann was "kind of glad." She heard that by giving a self addressed, self stamped envelope to the Registrar she could have her grades sent to her parents. Mary Ann joyfully complied. She could hardly wait to get home that week-end. Visions of A's and B's danced in her head. As soon as she readied home she cried, "Did my grades come?" and seized the card. Oh, poor Mary Ann! Here is what she saw: Library Instruction, C. Expression, C; Education 20, C. English 1, D. Teaching, D. Alas, for Mary Ann! She returned to school " a sadder and wiser girl." She decided that her old haunts must know her less often and that maybe the library was meant to function, instead of to adorn the building. The quarter was partly gone, so she had to make up for lost time. We would like to see Mary Ann's grades next time, wouldn't you? And we are glad the faculty has decided to give quarter grades to students. B. S. N. S. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT AT NORMAL? QLD STUFF" or "Crabbing." That's what this would have been termed had there been no good English week. Now we suppose it will be called "antiquated material" or "inappropriate expostulation." Wonder what the Hebrews called the Ten Commandments. The "Ten Crabs," perhaps. About third in the Normalite's Ten Commandments comes one like this: '' Thou shalt not babble in Assembly.'' We used to agree with the little Junior who told Dr. Miller that he didn't believe in capital punishment in the schools. We USED to. However, after sitting between two communiaative neighbors for awhile, and after being talked over and around and thru for an hour, we begin to wonder if there aren't two sides to the question. Agreed, that chattiness is charming and a sense of humor a saving grace. It does not follow that the girl (or young man) who overflows with conversation during a' beautiful concert and giggles thru a splendid address is either witty or courteous. It means that she (or he) is just a plain nuisance. Keep quiet for your own sake. Keep quiet for the sakes of those around you. If even these two considerations fail to motivate you to quiet, remember the good example you owe to the faculty. B. S. N. S. ' ^ . ^ GEOMETRY ON THE CAMPUS. A straight line is the shortest path between two points. Conceeded. So why try to prove that postulate on the campus ? Maybe you were demonstrating that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum. of the squares of the other two sides? Leave that to the G-eometry class or use a blackboard. Yesterday we. discovered, on reaching High street, that we had forgotten our hat. Just three minutes till car time! We cut the campus. Looking up, we encountered the sad gaze of Mr. Bond. We decreased some seventy magnitudes.

This poem might be called: New Year— ] 022. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. Ring out the grief that saps the mind, For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind. Ring out a slowly dying cause, And ancient forms of party strife; Ring in the nobler modes of life, . With sweeter manners, purer laws. Ring out thewant, the care, the sin, The faithless coldness of the times; Ring ou, ring out thy mournful rhymes, But ring the fuller minstrel in. Ring out false pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. Ring out old shapes of foul disease; Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of" the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be.

He also declared, that the value of anything presented by members of the Normal Faculty to be of the highest merit The reading which Professor Rahskoff gave was one of Clarence Budding- ton, Kelland's famous "Scatergood" stories, entitled, "The' One-legged Deacon."

Dr. Nash went to Chicago by way of Los Angeles. He will spend most of the time investigating and getting acquainted with his new duties as head of the Foundation for Education for the Congregational Church. Dr. Nash will probably return in time for the spring Commencement exercises. Some of us are convinced that Miss Mead is indeed a true prophet. A week before Christmas, when she predicted the usual crop of colds, measles, and other ailments, some of us were iniclined to take matters lightly. Today, we are painfully ware of the tragic seriousness of the situation and are consoling each other in hoarse whispers. Many students have safeguarded themselves from smallpox by submitting to vaccination. Woe to the unthinking person who brushes against a vaccinated arm—he is in imminent danger of incurring the righteous indignation of the owner. Miss Mabel Whitmore was married to Mi\ James R. Christie, at Mount Vernon on Tuesday, December 21. The young couple spent the holidays with Mr.' Christie's sisters in Sedro-Woolley and then returned to Bellingham, which will be their home in the future. Mrs. Christie expects to graduate in March. The women members of the faculty swimming .class proudly state that they have mastered the stroke at last! Miss Melba Hinds, who attended Normal last year, was a visitor last Wednesday. Thank you for the readings, Mr. llahskopf. We enjoyed "The Deacon's Wooden Leg," and "Compressed Housekeeping" immensely. Word has been received that Miss Druse is recovering rapidly and is enjoying herself at her father's ranch in Yakima. Bon voyage, Miss Longley! We hope you will have a splendid time in sunny Honolulu. Miss Mead is looking forward to a campaign in the form of a "Health Week." Miss Mead suggests that it might be well for all students (young men included) to take a January health inventory to see just what they are doing or need to do, to keep up their general health condition. She warns us- that any slackers will be in danger of havinsr someone in the department on their trail. Miss Mead also informs us that the evening inspection trips have begun in good earnest. ing. We wish him a speedy recovery. Miss Beardsley, who has just returned from* a trip to South Dakota, reports that the temperature there was twenty-five degrees below zero but that "the weather was fine." Miss Jean Acorn and Miss Helen Cummins were enthusiastically received by the Rebecca Lodge in South Bellingham, where they gave several readings last week. Mi-. Kolstad has been working on his garage and worrying about his talk in assembly. Mr. Kolstad says that most of the faculty members have been notified and are condoling with each other. Mr. Rahskopf is very much in demand lately. On Monday he entertained the members of the Aftermath Club with the readings which were so thoroughly appreciated in assembly last Friday. At the P. T. A. meeting at Whatcom High school last evening, Mr. Rahkskopf read "The Suppressed Desire." Gertrude Egbert, Esther Rheddick and Lillian Brotnov anticipated a trip to Seattle during the week-end. Miss Edens spent last week-end in Seattle. Mr. Hoppe leaves soon to complete his lecture tour over the state. Mr. Klemme visited extension classes this week. The faculty members who remember Mrs. Tullalah le Conte Elston will sympathize with her over the loss of her husband, J. A. Elston. He was a representative from his district, Oakland, California, and was widely known on account of his standing, and Mrs. Els-ton's many connections throughout the South as well as in California.

MISS MILLER WRITES Miss Irene Miller, former Normal student, writes from Hawaii: "Makawas, Man., T. H., Dec. 14, 1921. "Dear Doctor Nash: "As I often think of dear old B. S. N. S., down here in Hawaii and thought perhaps you would like to hear a little about the country and my experiences. "The trip over was very enjoyable for the weather, I thought, was perfect. Honolulu was a great disappointment at first altho it was thrilling to see Diamond Head and the harbor from the ship. We visited Diamond Head, the Punch Bowl, Round Top, all of the Forts, the great dry' dock at Pearl Harbor and of course spent all the time we could spare at Waikiki Beach. I always imagined it to be a great fashionable beach and therefore was greatly surprised to find it is only two blocks long and not so fashionable but a place where everyone swims to his heart's content or rides the famouse surf board. "We attended the Pan-Pacific conference. David Starr Jordan and others ably entertained us. The conference was held in the Throne room of the Palace. "I must hustle along to Makawas on the island of Maui, where I am teaching. Makawas is about 1,700 feet up the side of th elargest extinct volcano in the world. Mt. Haleokala.

Japanese and numerous mixtures. There are eleven teachers here, five ITaolis (white or mainland teachers) three Portuguese, two Chinese and one Hawaiian. The school is composed of several buildings of two or three rooms each, scattered around a campus like a little college. These buildings are frame and the upper parts of two sides are screen so Ave have plenty of fresh air. "Last night we saw a beautiful lunar rainbow.

Mr. Bond says that in order to overcome the short summer session of nine weeks and to comply with the year's residence law, which requires thirty-six weeks for the first year's credits, arrangements have been made to continue the summer quarter for three weeks beyond the regular session. This gives any student entering tliis quarter a chance to get an elementary certificate if he so desires. Last summer Mr. Bond. Mr. Kibbe and Mr. Bever donated three weeks teaching for this purpose; this year, Mr. Bond states, the teachers will be paid. B. S. N". S.

One of the most valuable assets a teacher can possess is the power to express her ideas in a clear, concise, and impressive manner. Sh cannot possibly do this if she is hampered by a defect in her speech. The most illuminating statement, when uttered by a stammering, unsteady voice, will fail to impress anyone. Furthermore, children have a decided tendency to do what "teacher does" and so it behooves us to become worthy examples. The idea that speech defects are inherent characteristics which cannot be overcome is not well founded. Fortunately, Bellingham Normal students are given every opportunity to correct any speech defects they may have. Mr. Rahskopf has organized a class in expression which has for its purpose the correction of these defects. This class is made up of students who are reported to the scholarship committee by the faculty. These students are required to take the course called "Expression A" unless excused by the committee. Expression A meets four times a week and in most cases two hours credit is given for the work. At present there are fourteen students in the class. Miss Beatrice Dalquist is acting as assistant and will conduct the class when Mr. Rahskopf leaves on January 20th. Tn regard to the method employed. Mr. Rahskopf states, "Good speech depends upon a few fundamental principles; the most important of which is coordination between the normal center of breathing and freedom of the tone passage. All defects of speech, no matter what their evident nature, ar caused by a lack of this fundamental response. "The first step in removing a speech defect is, therefore, the establishment of this co-ordination as a direct response to impression.

When he has learned to allow the normal speech responses to take place at all times, his speech defect is removd." While it is not possible to entirely cure ~a speech defect in twelve weeks, much can be done to enable each student to overcome his individual difficulties. Many students have already improved remarkably and it is hoped that by the end of the quarter the" will be well started upon the road to good speech. B. S. K S — Another Fish Tale.

This date is set for the high school Play Day which is held here annually. A new feature this year is the extension of invitations to boys as well as girls. Formerly, Play Day was held for the feminine contingent only. An interesting day has been planned by the Play Day committee, headed by Jim Junkin and Barbara Beyer. In the morning, mixed sports will hold the spotlight. These will be followed by a luncheon at Edens hall and a track meet in the afternoon. According to Jim Junkin, the purpose of Play Day is to acquaint high school students with each other and with the college group. Five boys and five girls will be sent from each high school in Whatcom and Skagit counties. The representatives will be divided into small groups and will tour the campus with members of the Play Day committee. Fife Fighters Need Reinforcements ~ • Recently a survey was made by .several members of the faculty on the fire fighter squad to determine what could be done along lines of fire prevention. A committee of students made a, survey of the present fire ' fighting equipment. Sand was ordered. Buckets, shovels, and rakes were distributed around the various parts of the building to help combat a fire in case of an emergency. Salvage work has been done to protect anything that cannot be replaced. For the safety of the fire fighters, goggles, shields, and flashlights have been purchased. According to Dr. Robert Holt-man who has charge of the joint teacher-student fire fighting class during the absence of Lyle Brewer, there are only thirteen people enrolled in this class which meets every Thursday at 11 in room 105. At present there are only enough -fire fighters to take care of the main building and Edens* hall. An effort is being made to enroll more students for the protection of the balance of the student body. By Frank Shiers • Because the paper this week is being directed toward the graduating high school seniors, it behooves us as a group to analyze what we as an institution have to offer prospective victims that other schools do not. In other words, I think that it is only, fair for us to wash our dirty linen now; then when we have our influx of new people, they will not be able to complain that we kept all the skeletons in the closet. * My gripe this week is concerned only with the Valkyries. For thie uninitiated, the Valkyries are the college equivalent to the typical high school girls' pep club. I am not complaining about, what the Valkyries are; but about how they have confused what they are and what they want to be. in other words, they started, out with certain objectives in mind and somewhere along the road they got lost. ^' Some unkind people will no doubt say that I am doing this because of some personal animosity. Suffice it to say that I like and admire every member,.of the Valkyries as a friend and as a fellow human being. I also admire the group as a whole. That (Continned on Page Few) WRA Votes Stangle Sports Manager; Name Other Heads • On Wednesday the Women's Recreation association held the balance of their election. Those elected were as follows: general sports manager, Norma Stangle; social chairman, Pat Irish; secretary, Lynda Adams; treasurer, Cheryl Smith; vice-president, Bernice FJ-enbaas. A meeting of the new and old members of the cabinet met on Thursday evening to discuss plans for the ensuing year. Next year as the WRA and the AWS will be the biggest clubs on the campus, Elizabeth Douglas and Elaine Sund-back who both attended conferences and got many new ideas to further the expense of the clubs, are going to meet together and pool their information. Further, discussion was held on limiting members to WRA and make it a more selective organization because so many girls belong to WRA and get their activity points and yet never participate in any sport whatsoever. Plans were also discussed to further our efforts toward National Defense. George Wants Radio Actors • Wanted! At least ten men on Monday night, May 4,. to try out for a radio play. The play "Crowded Paradise," will be broadcast before the assembly, May 19. Here is the chance of a lifetime for the aspiring male thespians of WWC/ According to Mr. George, "Crowded Paradise" has an amusing plot and should be well received by the assembly-goers.

Enthusiasm High as v^ampus Day Nears; Beards Prevail Kids Ordered To Stay Off Grass by Stocks; Motor Needed • Men, even if Campus day is still twelve days off, that doesn't excuse you from leaving the razor on the shelf for the remainder of the time. In fact, the only thing which officials' consider adequate excuse is student teaching. Anyone else who believes he has adequate reason for a beardless face must present, in writing, his excuse. These new stipulations were set forth this week by co-chairmen Les Smith and Mike Pizzuto. KIDS MAR GRASS Military police heads, Smith and Pizzuto, have issued an ultimatum to Campus school children. They are requesting that the Campus school children stay away from the stock, and off the lawn. Although only a few victims have been embraced by the stockade, the lawn has been damaged considerably, in fact, they say, too much. The committee heads also announced that men who are taking technique courses have been given the OK of the technique teachers to grow beards".' .•,•-•-* ,—..-.- A change has been made in the. day for the migration of men to Lakewood for the pre-Campus day cleari-up.

Valkyries Plarr Spring Dance • As a result of a long heated argument at the Monday Valkyrie meeting it was decided to gQ ahead with plans for the annual spring sport dance. Members had been advised by the faculty that a dance at this time might be a failure because of decreased enrollment and increased expenses. A vote was taken at the meeting which showed that there" still is some fire,in the Valkyrie-club after a l l . . the majority of the girls proved to be willing to work to cut down expenses and still give a nice dance.

There were women of all ages and classes at the conference, and in Miss Piatt's opinion this ability to obtain a cross section of women of all types is the unique contribution, of the YWCA. Among the representatives at,the conference, which was held at the Columbia Gorge hotel near Hood River, were several WWC graduates. One of them, Miss Helen Davis, is the regional chairman of the business and professional division of YWCA.

Coach Sarboe and his husky Wildcat sprint squad start strutting their:,stuff out on our oval this afternoon, you will be looking upon what in our estimation is the best all-round track team in the Winko league this season. They may be. small in numbers but their potential point picking: power is great. Against Yakima Junior college two weeks ago Sarboe's, men started their season by amassing 80M gt; points against the. JC's 39J/s. Last Friday the wiry Wildcat squad all but tore Washington's frosh squad to pieces when they pawed out a one-sided 80% to 45% victory. . . ' . . . ' ' . • ' r Only weak spot on the Ellensburg team seems to be in the field. This fact was proved when the Husky Frosh picked up their five and only firsts in field events. With McAulay, Nelson, Mitchell, and Munizza out there for the Viks, Carver's men will prove plenty tough. One of the outstanding Wildcats to watch today will be Bob Lynn. He picked up 9 points against the Frosh by placing firsts in the mile (4:42), and second in both the two mile and 880... Maurice Rogers, a team mate of Lynn's, turned in a 53 for 440 and in the same afternoon ran a 22.2 in the 220. • ; • MAN OF THE WJEEK—Les Smith is our nomination .for man of the week. Les is the unheralded artist whose surrealistic caricatures of bearded males adorn the halls. He is the architect-engineer combination who designed and installed the "stocks" for slackers in the beard growing contest. Smitty is 19, a sophomore and hails from Longview. He was a member of Hilltop squad that won the intramural basketball championship this year. Fall quarter Les was number one quarter back for the Viking eleven. Smitty *s pride and joy is his GREEN HORNET, which every student has come to regard as the official campus taxi. . Deepest, darkest secret of Les' past is the fact that as cook in a Longview hotel a few years ago, his side dish with the Monday morning blue plate special. Was, to quote Smitty, "a fluffy duffy salad." (That ought to be a pretty obvious hint to those in charge of the Campus Day food committee.) gt; ; ••— :• Out to show the women that though small in numbers they still can put more weight behind the Student Lounge fund, the Norsemen are planning a smoker to be run off sometime during the next two weeks... The list of matches has not been completed as yet but those so far signed up are: Munizza vs. Mitchell in the heavies, and Aldrich vs. Hickenbottom in the lights. Several other leather-swinging Norse have not been matched yet. Don "Tiny" Neal says he is open for challenge (in wrestling only, of course). An added item of interest to the "better half" of the student body is that 'fwomen will be tolerated."

The meet will be the initial test for the Vikings while Coach Phil Sarboe's men have two meets under their belts already this season. Last Friday the Wildcats smothered the Husky Frosh by taking all but five firsts. A preliminary entry list was issued by Coach Sam Carver Monday. The following are the events and the- men who will participate in them: mile, Hickenbottom, and Goodman; 440, Aylen; 100, McAulay and Ropes; 120 high hurdles.

Byron Grubb, Vik low hurdle ace, pulled a . muscle: last week and it is uncertain whether* he will compete today. Sprints will be the most vulnerable sRot for the Viking squad as they face the Wildcats. Coach Sam Carver, ~ however, expects his men to place well in field and distance events.

Stang. "However, if you wish to meet them you may come to the reception room and stand in the receiving line." Then as-a series of sirens announced the arrival of the royal couple he ejt-cused himself and hurried to the door: v Murmurs of "Oh, isn't she charming?" "I hear they're just like common people," "Isn't the prince good looking?" followed the pair as they entered the elevator, greeting the crowd: as they walked. Returning a few minutes later to the lobby of the Leopold hotel, the prince _-and princess were taken to the Fountain room where they were greeted by representatives of the city and; county governments and other organizations. Following this reception the royal party proceeded to the Crystal ballroom, where a luncheon in their honftr was held. As they entered the doorway everyone rose from his seat and applauded until the party reached their places at the head table. Then, as they remained standing the Norwegian and v American national anthems were sung. PRINCE SPEAKS After luncheon the crown prince of Norway gave an addressTon the courage and spirit of the Norwegian people in resisting Nazi forces which have .invaded their country• "We are jS^fesimore closely united in spirit and^omifibn. purpose with Americans than ever before in history," he declared. "The Norwegian Writer Gives Picture of'42 Campus Day • This week's better behavior column deals with how to enter properly into the spirit of Campus day. As you know, on former cam-ups days the main sports were mild deals such as swunming (The recognized technique being to hold your opponent's head under water until he ceased to utter protesting glugs); boat races (consisting of shooting holes in your oppponent's boat, hitting his men over the head with' your oars—while they last, then drifting helplessly about the lake for the duration); and various minor contests such as tossing ripe eggs, shoes, and the like (not ostensibly at definite targets, however) and applying the law of supply and demand to assorted pies (size 13%). "But this year things are gonna be —(censored) DIFFERENT!" At least according to co-chairman in chief, Frank Shiers. In the first place, the morning will be entirely taken up with such strenuous activities as clearing land (pioneer-style), chopping down the jungle and other assorted weeds, and straightening up the place generally. Our suggestion for men engaged in this type of recreation is to adopt an exploratory frame of mind; pretend you really are a pioneer, lost in darkest Africa. Who knows, you might even find Dr. Livingston! Even your roomie easily could be mistaken for- such a one after three weeks of beard-growing. Following this warming-up process the regular sports and contests will be engaged in by the women and the one or two men who survive.* In these, Marquis-of Queens-bury rules prevail. Contestants will kindly refrain from unsheathing their swords (striking with the sheath will be.sufficient), and brass knuckles will be permitted only on the left hand. Use of tennis rackets, baseball bats, and the aforementioned oars as weapons is frowned upon; after: all, they are school property and you woud probably have to pay for them. Winners in contests will be determined by survival of the fittest, and assorted straight-jackets will be provided for prizes. people have proven that their faith in the dignity of man and in the national rights of man as expressed in ,the Bill of Rights are worth fighting and dying for. They know within themselves that justice and righteousness will be victorious over the forces of evil and oppression." Though an interview was not secured the reporter left the hall highly pleased that she had at least been given the opportunity to shake hands with the royal couple.

CONFIDENTIAL CHATS WITH MEN AND YOUNG MEN The story is now being told that. a Normal girl actually did turn a man down once. Ton don't believeit partner?

When the Men's Club settled some'time - ago: Vtbat married men do make the best husbands" how much space did it get? We could repeat that question, but it would be exactly the same thing. ' It's the Men's Club that hands you programs in assembly and then leave so others can have their seats. And it's the Men's Club who are the only thing in school that doesn't own galoshes. Just then the men sent.up a cheer for the Kormal—their Normal. "Look at the pages the Women's League get in the paper of which I, yes, I, am business manager.'' Here Pres. Hankins broke down, and the' meeting broke up.

"JAPAN NOT MILITANT" For Eighteen Years, -Mr. Trueman Has Been a Representative of the Y. M. C. A. in Japan. Mr. A. -H. Trueman,- who has been in Japan for eighteen years as a rep-representative of the Y. M. C. A., stressed the attitude of Japan in her immediate relations with_the Orient and her international relationships with the leading nations of the Occident, in his address before the student body Wednesday. "Japan has accepted wholeheartedly the Western method of commerce and business, and has arisen from an obscure nation to rank as one of the five leading powers of the world ,in a short period of eight years. The Japanese are proud and sensitive. If we get the full significance of these two fundamental characteristics of human nature it would help greatly in solving our international relationships with Japan." Mr. Trueman stated at the opening of his lecture. Port Arthur Important. Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese war'was stressed. The Man-churian railway gave Japan the balance of power against Russia, so to speak. Probably the greatest single impetus for the expansion of Japanese commerce and industry was the World War. "During the World War, when the dual form of government, was at its highest tension, the Japanese intervened in the Russian controversy with a military attitude. As "a result Japan began industrializing. The rights of China had been encroached upon by the Japs" and her integrity had been violated, when the iron works in the Yangtze Valley were, transferred to Japanese rule."' Japan Not Belligerent. Washington, D. C., completely altered Japan's attitude toward China and her relations "with the Occident became ones of unmitigated friendship and co-operation," the speaker said. The essenceof Mr. Trueman's. address lay in his concluding remarks. He emphasized the. fact that Japan was not. a militant, belligerent or inimical nation, but that she was following in the footsteps of other world powers, and that the only possible remedy for international strife is for every nation to have confidence" in each other and base their relationships upon the highest ideals.

The topic of Miss Glass' speech was "The Heart of Youth." Many interesting experiences cited by the speaker gave the'listeners a thrill. Miss Glass explained that in order to gain the confidence .of a child one must get the thought and viewpoint of the person, no matter whether they be grade or high school pupils. She said: "We must look into the heart of the child and see the real self." ; 0-—r—— : INTER-CLUB COUNCIL AIDS ORGANIZATION Council Consists of One Representative from Each Club and Three Faculty Members. The Inter-Club Council was first organized last spring. Its formation was the result of a fell need of a central organization to control and supervise the activities of the various student organizations. Since that time it has performed an invaluable service for the different clubs of the school. The members of the Inter-Club Council consist of one representative from each of the club organizations, elected at the first meeting of the spring quarter. The representatives serve on the Council during the following year. Besides these student members, there are representatives of the faculty, including the Dean of Women, the Dean of Men and the Social Director of Edens Hall. „ Each organization is required to have a representative at all of the meetings of the Council. Each organization is required to furnish a club calendar for the year with preferences for dates and places. Each organization is also required to furnish the Council with all records, books and such other information as the Council may require. Besides the general supervision of the activities of the Clubs the Inter-Club-Council helps to settle the numerous difficulties within the Mrs. Hankins is Sole Graduate From the Four-Year Course at the End of the Fall Quarter. 59 TWO-YEAR GRADS Paul Rule, Martha Dillon, and Jessie Wait,.

LIBRARY IS FAVORED Hartley's Policy Toward Normal Schools Described by President Fisher as Being Very Friendly. "We feel that as far as Governor Hartley .and his staff are concerned the needs of Bellingham Normal will be well 'taken care of,". President C. H. Fisher stated after the visit of the state executive and his staff to the school Tuesday afternoon. At a meeting of the governor-,-his staff, President Fisher and the Normal trustees, the school budget lor the next two years and matters pertaining to it were discussed. President Fisher said: "Undoubtedly the Normal, with the approval of the state legislature, is to be able to go ahead with construction of 'a library during next year," so it at last appears as if the dreams,, of a library building will come true in the immediate futurei The budget asks for $260,000 to.erdct and furnish the building, which will be located where Cedar street now is, facing the campus. Since last year's state legislature passed the bill containing the provision for a library, there seems to be little opposition to its erection. "Freedom and frankness of discussion led to a satisfactory understanding of our problems. on the part of Governor Hartley and his staff," President Fisher added. "The visit was most satisfatory in every respect. "The policy of the; governor is to insist on quality instead of numbers at the Normal and in this policy the Normal heads are heartily in accord with the chief executive. The_JNbr-mal trustees and myself do not feel that they could have asked finer consideration than was given at the meeting.

In all probability the most enthusiastically received choral recital ever rendered in Bellingham was the production given by The Russian Syniphbnic Choir. The sample presentation given in the afternoon evidently convinced the students that the Russians actually could sing, as a great many attended the evening performance. Russian music is weird; it is soulful; it is the music of a great people, coming up through great tribulations. The Russian Choir was a true exemplification of that soul, of that music. Their costumes as well as their music was indicative of a people who can lay one* hand, as it were, on the age of barbarism, the other on the highest type of modern civilization. ; 'Their intonation chants and folk songs were as a gigantic storm sweeping across the great steppes of Russia, dying away finally to whisper of evening zephyr. The temple song, "Lord Have Mercy," by Lvovsky cannot be given due credit and praise. All that can be said concerning it is, that it possessed a quality of sublimity. The .delicate gradations of the dynamics was a feeling of wonderment and admiration "and of times gave the impression of the presence of a stringed orchestra. Art, color, and unbelievable tone, combined with numerous, almost inexpressible characteristics pertaining to that which is paramount in the world of music, would scarcely do justice to the praise r due the Russian Symphonic Choir. WHY A LITERARY CONTEST? / Announcement of a literary contest was made in the first issue of the Messenger for this fall quarter. The battle of pens is now finished ' and a pronouncement of victors has been made. Two and a half months is rather a long period for a literary contest, whose contributions are usually confined to less than a thousand words. Fred R. Bechdolt, one of the few fascinating writers of Western tales, often * completes a short story of four or five thousand words in less than two weeks, we have been told by Mr. Bechdolt's father. A comparison here is, of course, entirely out of place. The regrettable fact is that the responses to this contest Were very few. Perhaps not enough publicity was furnished, although it seems that a contest of this nature could •' hardly be enhanced by advertising. An appreciation of literature can be directed and enlarged, but the so-called "urge" for self-expression toward the creation of some form of literature is essentially native and is usually evident by the end of the high school year. But the trial of contest was worth-while. The poems, essays and stories received by the judges were of merit. Certainly trie poetry, ^which.was accorded first place was so deserving that had one hundred ethers challenged, it is dubious that its final rank had been altered. Interesting proof of this, how- .'•;.ever, would be to succeed this literary contest with others each quarter. Winners of the late,contest might be allowed to still, compete, and others, who perhaps; did not have time now to compete, could • * ? ^ ; J^r^a n?« they taight -lUJuew premier places. NOTE BOOK FIENDS Some instructors are so congluti-nated to this demented hurry-up-and- get-your-note-book-in complex that special days are set for bearing the sacrificial note book to the brown desk altar. Big days for them are July 4 ; dinner in the park; Labor Day; Thanksgiving; and Last Note Book Day, the best day of all. It is an obfnoxious, antideluvian, and insipidly vitiating custom, this. Hamlet (check up, there, English students, page 37 in your note books) said, "It's a consummation devoutly to be wished," thinking, doubtless, subconsciously, of this pernicious note book habit. Well meaning students in the flush of their sophomoric and excel-isor years, doing research in \ ency-clopediae, have to detour every two or so pages, because of pencil and finger marks of those who have gone before in their tireless search for note book filler. . Instructors probably vie with each other in trying to grind from classes "bigger and better" note books each quarter. -And such teachers who expend time to instruction and not to the indulgence of this notebook passion are probably looked upon with tolerant derision. Training school disciples when for a minute their thoughts are not infested with "projects" should consider note book work. They will never "arrive" in the art of teaching until some -knowledge of note book managing is mastered. But then, get your note books in next week, for the teachers have a surprise for you. They are going to "remember" you before Christmas. 7 ' By V. A. V7 , The Russian Sympkonic Choir only rominded me of the little boys in the Philippine Islands who, in moonlight nights, used to sing in concert in the same manner, but in a more disconcerted fashion than, the Russians do. Primitive music by primitive man was uv,that fashion. Before musical instruments were invented music in its primeval fude iorm was- already in" manifestation: lt; Primitive man of the wildness had only to imitate, and then modify the sound he heard from the' birds, and the brooks and the falling of trees, and the loud peal of thunder. The march of civilization only brought about the invention of the different musical instruments that we have at present age. • i There is a very great difference, however between the music furnished by the Russian Symphonic Choir and that of the boys in the Philippines... But the principle seems finv-damentally the same. •J^iiltjftfauuort Here are the high lights in the speech of Miss Charlotte Frazer, general secretary of the'Women's Christian Temperance Union in America, at, the assembly November 23: "I missed lots of punch and pep of college life by not attending a co-ed school." • "A man does not know much after being married three days." "We don't know what the future has in store for us. We do riot know what will come into our individual lives." "America has never been licked due to right leadership." "Consecrate your life to leadership." Miss /Frazer also said that when she was in school she had only one dollar allowance a month. These' days that dollar will disappear like a soap bubble in an instant.

MECHANICS 6 0 43 Thorlakson, Fisher, and Sullivan Lead Jay Vees Scoring Attack. Fisher Annexes 11 Field Goals. In a game played on the Y. M. C. A. floor last Friday' evening, the Jay Vees overwhelmed the Junior Mechanics. The score was 60 to 13. If the Normalites had been able to connect with the basket more consistently, the Mechanics would have suffered a much worse defeat. It took the Junior. Vikings about five minutes to get going. The Mechanics gained the first field goal, but following this goal, the Vikings, with determiation, set in to do their task and netted 15 points before their opponents made another point. At half time the score stood 35 to 5. The Normal scoring attack was led by Fisher, Thorlakson, and Sullivan. Wreckers Beat Methodists. In the other game of the evening, the Roland Wreckers downed the Methodists 33 to 22. The Methodists fought furiously in a vain effort to overcome the exerienced Wreckers, but they finally succumbed. Ludwigson and Urness played stellar games for the Methodists. Tonight, the Jay Vees will meet their first real test when they tangle with the Roland Wreckers.

Jack Harper^ diminutive Viking forward, grabbed the high honors of the evening chalking up 19 markers during the evening's entertainment as well as playing an all around,-bang-up game. The work of Hawkings, center, was commendable. Although clearly outclassed, the Brown Cole team forced the Normal at all times. McCollum played an outstanding game and led his mates in scoring, accounting for 13 of the total 23. The Baker Lumber yards won an exciting mix from the somewhat crippled Y. M .C.

Although a special matinee performance had been given in the afternoon at the Normal, the ironing -conceit was pleasantly received by an almost full house. With no instrumental accompaai-saent the group of choristers at once suggested something : of the novel,; the unusual, in vocal rendition. Voices Represent Opera. - Other •• features than the unique; oess of the presentation Attracted the j audience for the two-hour program, towever. The perfect ensemble of voices often reminded of an orchestra.: JSharp, plear bells could be distin-! gushed, by the occasional chanting of male voices. Humming, a variation of tone employed effectively by the choir, gave forth a delightful imitation of a tremulous violin. Deep -basses suggested the vibrancy of the 'cello. The entire effect was pleasant ;and satisfying. Grouped in regard to sacred songs, ^classical music and folk songs, the program was well divided. Of the premier group the. repeated strains of; "Lord, Have Mercy" proved most effective, with careful modulations of difficult chords. Classical Music Pleasant. Beethoven's "Andante Con Moto"is rarely heard in chorus; therefore its interpretation was appreciated. "Plai-senterie" of Nikolsky was an attractive lyrical completion of the classical group. Most appealing of the Russian folk songs was a Chechoslovakian dance song arranged by Basile Eabalchich, conductor of the choir. Other folk songs were marked by their lyrical, and charming, simple themes. In the early part of January the second number of the musical course will be given when Reinald Werren-irath, American baritone, will appear lin recital. •They had -knowTi each other for years, these two men who had just met 4n the train.

Don't lean on your partner; she's probably had no lunch, either. 3. Place one finger on your partner's shoulder. She may not be used to dead weight. 4. Don't look as if you were in pain. Take courage—dances don't last a lifetime. 5. Try not to get your form in the shape of a pretzel. Other shapes are far more becoming. 6.. Be light on her feet as well as on your own. 7. Listen to the music. Your conversation may not be quite as full of harmony. 8. . Keep time. The man who wrote the music knows more about rhythm than you do. 9. Dont try to invent some new stuff in dancing. People knew how to dance before you arrived. 10. Follow these instructions and you're sure to get away with the girls. Haw, haw, haw, haw! We thank you!

An elementary school teacher couldn't have had worse "problem children'.-, and. a.veteran couldnt have squelched.them more successfully. ./ Rumor has it that our esteemed faculty' members are nothing but a groiip -of ^practical 'jokers at heart. A'riighlight:'on:"the social calendar was'the traditional -faculty spree, when these learned pedants' shed their classroom reserve. It would be fun to have been- a looker-onner and heardv Vic's1' story of the "Fresh- Faced lt;?d\rritjry Girl''. • And have you.heard'abeaf-the salmon bake at which they forgot to muzzle Eddie?

Syarlien s»ysi "No- wonder that the: English can't.see the point to American jokes, when 'there usually isnt'"anyw;: ;"'."'.' An mterestrng'suhlect for discussion is the question, "Is college a farce?" Does' the average student let the social aspect of -college life overshadow his academic work? There is rib Question but that some stttdehter are 'here for recreation only, and that others are only Interested in studying. We hear that there 'is'"a.happy medium ~ somewhere, where trie person can have a good tmte while getting the maximum of henefit out of his work. Many students are of the opinion that more opportunity should be given for group discussion of modern problems. If the Board of Control project :to secure a place where .students qan meet and hash out .the ^ world's affairs succeeds, we will be on our way toward reaching this' elusive balance between fun and scholasticism. Someone we once knew remarked, "A good place to stop your column is the piace where you begin to ask yourself, 'What else can I write' " w Women, Will Take Initiative At Leap Year Hop . Assuming responsibility for the success of the "leap year"., sophomore : party Saturday at 8:00 p. m. hi the Big gym, Normal damsels will ask for all dances and prove to the men thai the stag line can be elim-inated.

' U of W Students Discuss Supreme : Court Limitations Pro and Con of-Question Given Before Normal; Assembly ... ,: This MorhiTig- '"Should "the power of the United States 'SupVem'e; court be lrrhitedr'" was the;,:'question..which "Wayne Booth; Kenneth Cox, Lewis Schmidt, and -Hubert Sandaz, four men students of the university, discussed in the •assembly this morning at 11:00 a. rri. Two of the. speakers spoke for the 'affirmative' side and the other two spoke for the negative. After the discussions, Horace G. Rahkopf, professor in ' the division of speech in the English department, summed up; the arguments on both sides. . . The audience : Was permitted . to ask questions when the talks were completed^ i The "discussion !f allowed the .parliamentary- symposium method.rather than the traditional team debate. The aim of these discussions carried on by the. students is to give information necessary for clear un-present .fundamental issues, view-points and solutions. At an, asserhbly jlast year students from this^saihe department at the university ' . discussed, limiting of armaments. The group that spoke this morning visited.in Europe last year, conducting ^discussions there; Public Mihded Citizens To Aid Officers In Traffic Regulations; Students Warned To cooperate with police department in enforcing traffic reulations, a group of 30 citizens of Bellingham have pledged themselves to aid in any way possible. The names of the members of the group have not been revealed. The group feels that because of the terrfic toll of life and serious injuries taken by careless driving, the automobile driver must be made to feel his responsibility. It is reported that the group will lend their assistance in reporting traffic violations in both the city and in Whatcom county. The spokesman for this committee pointed out that improvement in driving offers the only hope for cutting down the enormous number of deaths and serous injuries sustained each year from .traffic accidents. Traffic authorities estimate that 90 per cent of the automobile drivers are normal, prudent, and careful. It is among the 10 per cent that the reckless and incompetent are found and this 10 per cent must be roused to their sense of responsibility before satisfactory progress can be made, reports the group of citizens. WL To Revise Name Handbook Women To 'Sponsor Contest For Renaming 'Self-Starter'; Suggestion s" M ade "We are planning to sponsor a contest tp.secure a new name for the revised edition of the Womens League handbook," says Lucille Lee, one'of :the committee^ members in charge of the: revision. "It is to be such an improvement over the last book/tftat Self-Starter, just doesn't sound right. We'll tell you more about the contest! later on." .At the meteing o f the Women's League-commission last Wednesday afternoon • many ; suggestions were made for this revised book. Since the last report of the work of this cornmitte was made;at a Commission meting the committee has been quite busy.. The general" plan of the..book has been formulated, most of the sub-heads bhosen, and much of the actual writing done. Infbrmais Cleared 'The Commission decided to charge a minimum of 30 cents for girls who sign to go I to the informals and fail to appear. The actual amount to be charged for a dance will be set indiyidually for each dance, depending! on the financial outcome. • • • ' : • ' •.; _— o— Alkisiah Addressed By Art Instructor Miss Hazel Plympton's talk on the sculptiire works 6f Miss Elizabeth Hazeltirie, now on display in the Art department, was the main fea Western Drama Opens Thursday 'Greri Grow the Lilacs' Shown In School Auditorium and Theater Guild ^ ^ c i e a r , m ; : tiire of the Alkisiah club ineettng derstandmg of a problem, and ^ h e l d - l a s t M o n d a y ; Pebruary 24.

Pleas, threats, appeals to decency, intelligence, and courtesy, in fact every possible method of persuasion but bribery has been used in a vain attempt to remedy the assembly situation. The faculty and the Board of Control at present are puzzled as to a new approach to this high-schoolish problem, although it has been suggested that a conduct test be included in the entrance examinations. Perhaps the Board should send for a few pamphlets on the discipline of the very young child. Maybe we are one of those nervous youngsters who doesn't eat his crickly, crackly, crumbly, crunchies every morning. After the situation last Tuesday there's bound to be a new attack made before very long. So be prepared. It might.be a good idea to bring tin pans to pound in assembly just to make sure that neither you nor anyone else hear a single note of the concert. o For Rent—One Wrecking Crew Too late, someone has thought of a use for the Men's club It could have ben hired out under the Better Housing program, to tear down old buildings. All that would have been necessary is a sign on the door—Men's Club Room. They would have had it to the ground within a couple of days. Tips For Movie Fans By Bob White If you enjoy exhibitions of hilarious activity bordering almost on the insane, then you're a Marx brothers fan, and for you we have good news. The Marx brothers' latest vehicle "A Night At The Opera" opens tomorrow night at the American theater, and is one of the best demonstrations of Marxian madness ever released upon an unsuspecting public. Ever since the release of "Cocoanuts", their first big hit, the Marx brothers have been rated high in the entertainment world, but in this latest release play some scenes which are far ahead of their previous efforts. Why, that one scene in the stateroom of the boat where the stowaways—but you'd better see that for yourself. Incidentally, the song "Alone' which has been so popular for the past few months is the . theme song of this picture. ! On the same bill will be shown "Thunder Mountain," Zane Grey's recent western story, featuring George OBrien as the big, rough he-man who falls for the eastern girl who falls for—here, here, enough of this. One of the best books published within the past Jew years is the "Magnificent Obsession". If you've read the book, you'll be glad to hear that the movie version of this fine story J s opening tonight at the Grand theater, with Irene Dunn and Robert Taylor in the stellar roles. This film follows the book plot to a surprising degree, so if you've read the book and enjoyed it youll iike the film. If you don't know ; the story, you'll still like the film. Music lovers, attention! Lily Pons, nationally known soprano, makes her first screen appearance in "I Dream Too Much," showing at the Mount Baker theater until Sunday;. On the same bill Dickie Moore.and Tdm Keens are playing in •'Timothy's Quest". Sunday, that.prince of pantomime, Charlie Chap* •Un,:;wfll be seen in his latest play "Modern Times." also at the Mount Baker theater. In this picture, his •i first in five years, Chaplin has permitted his voice ; to be recorded for the first time in a scene in which he sings, which is ^coming out of the silence in a big, , ; _ - tj^-£ •--• •••«*»•"•'• " •••:/ ; - ' ; . . ' . .,. ,,:,^:..., r«.-r Here comes the Soph leap year hop. Come on! Step, kick, hop, step, kick, hop, one.two, three, step, kick, hop—(that the Dutch dance). Join hands with your partner and try it. Next should come the schot-tische. One, two three, hop; one, two, three hop; step hop, step hop, step hop, step hop, (turning) repeat. At our dances why not do some of these? You all know them. Let's get most sociable and do a Virginia reel, or a square dance to Round and Round the Vinegar Jug. How about a brownie? "Swing your partners!" Nobody cares who nor where nor when. It might be up in the Viking office, even. All we need is some one to start it. There couldn't be anything like individual interruptions of Brahms Waltz No. 1. Just do what the music tells you to: Leap run — and round and round. It's a dare. Happy Hollers A boxer's epitaph on a grave outside Normal gym: "He couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper sack". Af FUNNY POEM There's a question That bothered me. For years so very long, If Anna May Should swipe a grapefruit Would she be right or Wong ? Copyright, 1936—oops, I've got me doing it. I just read that Germans never pun. It IS a Nazi habit And now our crooner will treble, "Am I Gonna Have Treble ' With You". —o— GONG! Slightly pink ants, instead of the usual red variety, will haunt college picnics this year. Looks like colleges are getting rid. of the red element. Too bad we can't get basketball out of the same element. This started out to be symposium, but I never finished it. so I guess 111 call it "The Unfinished Symposium". More Leaps— Into What? Once upon a time there was a man named Caesar—give thanks to him, girls, he's beginning to go up in my estimation as a man of great discernment. It seems that he gave us our joyous Leap Year—or do you know the value of that particular time for the feminine gender? It has given us a new method of attack, thusly: First you. ask the man of the moment for his hand. If he refuses you; his hand he is supposed to present you with something else, say, a dress or a fur coat, or maybe even an automobile. Dont you think it's aa ideal method to acquire a winter wardrobe? Or should I say spring outfit—that's far better, for in the spring a young man's ideas run toward romance arid such. Oh, dear, I forgot myself. Why let love get in the way of a monetary arrangement? But, what if they should aecept in order to get v out of buying us a knick knack or two? Horrible thought!

Viking Sports SEE THE SMOKER NEXT MONDAY .. LOOKING IT OVER.. By Lloyd Nelson .. r. i i' Woe is me! .Here it Is time for Looking It Over again and not much that is worth looking over; it shoukLall be over-looked. Hrowever, to keep any real scandal monger from taking my job as sports editor I will try to give you some of the sports high-lights of the week. The first shower-room key-hole 1 chanced to look through, who should I see dressing for the Varsity basketball team but Bill Ames. It's rather late in the season to start turning out but the idea sounds good to me, as Coach Lappenbusch badly needed spare men in last night's game With Ted Dziedzic still laid up and Dick Carver joining the grand-stand sitters by ruining his Norman Bright, the far-famed ex-bright light of Sam Carver's track hopes, once again broke into the country's headlines when he burned in the fastest time ever set by an American in the 5,000 meter race. In an indoor race, Bright made the fast time of 15 seconds flat. The race was run in New York city. Bright, upon whom Carver once based all his track team's hopes, attended Bellingham Normal in 1928, 1929, and 1931. While a student here he managed to break all . , • I j tn-normal records in the mile run, leg on the varsity s eastern trip, last gt; t n e s a m e ^ n m w h i c h ne j u st night's game looked rather dark for smashed American records recently. Norman Bright Places Normal On Map Again Former Light of Bellingham Track Team Makes High Time in 5000 Meter Run Norsemen Handed Defeat By Speedy Teams With Help Of Old Man Tough Breaks Ellensburg, Cheney Trim Norse In Wild Struggle As Lappenbusch Hits Jinx; Carver Collapses us even before the starting whistle blew. If any more first-string men get laid up I guess I'll resign as sports editor and start training myself. At last the long-looked-for smoker is looming1 on the sporting horizon. Almost everyone read about, and heard about, the up-and-coming boxing class, but so far very few people have actually seen the would-be pugilistis in action. This next Monday night spectators will have an opportunity to see how mean a mitt some of our future school teachers can sling:. Trueman Kennedy seems to have high hopes for some of his foundlings. Here's hoping his expectations are not ill-founded. Coming back to the deficiencies in our varsity basketball team, Lappenbusch might find some good material in some of the players taking part in the district tournament next week at Lyndenl If there are any more players in this little town as good as one of the Viking hoop-sters acquired there, it would be worth the Normal's time to offer a bid on a couple of them to fill in some vacancies that have been created on our team. Skiing is becoming more popular all the time, judging from the en thusiasm shown on the campus the other day. Poor George Dack, head gardener, was running- around like a chicken with his head cut off, vainly trying to save the lawn. But the skiers had their way and a good time was had by everyone—except, perhaps, Dack. Enrollment in enginering and architectural courses in colleges of the United States during the past five years has dropped 35 per cent.

Playing before a large crowd, Sam Carver's Jayvees brought the curtain down on the 1936 basketball season by decisively trouncing the highly touted Mount Vernon Junior College five, last night in the preliminary, of the Bellingham-EUens-burg contest, in the Whatcom high school gymnasium. Led by a couple speedsters, and former high school mates at Pair-haven, Bill Taylor, and Dutch DeVries, the Normal squad took advantage of an early lead and held it until the blast of the final whistle. Taylor scored 12, DeVries eight, and Occie Starlund five. Ellinger, former Mount Vernon high school ace, offered the only resistance for the Junior College boys. He gathered 12 of his team's 19 points. The game was decidedly rough with both squads taking part in floor polishing. As was seen in the last half when Olson, rugged guard, shouted "hey" to Morns Tarte, Jay-vee sub, who had the ball. Tarte threw it to him, and then realizing his mistake, amid the ripple of heckles from the feminine group, dove at Olson and neatly planted him on the maple, with a sweet body block. Evidently Mr. Olson knew not of Tarte's football career. Bellingham 20 Ellensburg 23 Carver 7 .„ lt; ~.F Drovetto 2 V.Griend 2 JP......... Bunstine 10 Phair 4 C Hall 1 Dombroski 5 G Foust 4 B.

Wild Game Played In the wildest basketball game of the year the Ellensburg Cats took the Vikings to camp 23 to 20. The game was played with one referee who was unable to handle the assignment. Thursday, February 20, the WWCE team came to Ellensburg with the intention of repeating its homecoming football triumph. The slow start of the game coupled with the great number of fouls fljas enough to start the Normal ship on its road to defeat. Ellensburg Team Tall The tall quintet from Ellensburg had enough speed and scoring ability to outfoul the Vikings and give the home team a 3 point advantage at the end. Bunstine, Hull, and Bossma, all well over 6 feet 3, were able to get the tipoff and retrieve the ball under the basket, thus giving them a decided advantage. Carver played good ball until he was injured in an unfortunate fall. Carver, it was found, had suffered a broken cartelage in his left knee. Without the services of Carver the team lost ground and after two baskets by Foust and Holl the game ended. Vikings 23 Cheney 59 Carver ...JP Kerns 11 B.

The Cheney squad seemed unable to miss the hoop in its home gym; West and Rebensdorf being especially effective around the foul circles. Carver started the game for the Norsemen but collapsed on the floor soon after the opening of the game. Lappenbusch replaced him with J. Pence and the combination seemed to work. The inability of the Vikings to check the speedy Indian forwards was the undoing of the Western team. Lappy Unlucky Phair and B. Pence were the only men on the Viking squad to click. Phair out scored his opponent, Eustace, and Pence showed up the Cheney team when getting the ball from the backboard. Stutz played a very heady game and Dombroski also aided the Viking cause with 6 points. AIT members of the traveling squad saw action in the Cheney point gathering spree. Coach Charles Lappenbusch saw his third varsity player out for the last game when Carver crumbled to the floor. Tough luck has been on Lappenbusch's trail all quarter, first Zambas, then Dzeidzic, and finally his highest scorer. Carver.

"Also," he goes on to say, "I expect to have some good matches, as the boys have shown lots of fight in their workouts." The bouts will be in the little gym at 7:30 p. m. The smoker includes eight matches, each consisting of three two-minute rounds. The lnie-up is as follows: Alexander, 127, vs. Baby-face Til-son, 138 ;Valinta, 132, vs. Johnson, 138; Torpedo Young, 158, vs. Two-fisted Taylor, 156; Nelson, 170, vs. Stuart, 168; Richards, 162, vs. Do-lan, 158; One-round Willis, 156, vs. Wilson, 152; Reichman, 198, vs. Wildcat Alpaugh, 195; Nilsen, 135, vs. Willison, 140. . Bat Bettelli, southpaw slugger, is definitely out with a broken nose which he acquired a couple of weeks ago when he tried to stop Wilson's terrific left in a workout. As Bettelli did his duty working out earlier in the quarter, a place has been reserved for him as a second. Coon is the other second. DIDY'A KNOW nil Lynden First Place In County Tourney With the WAA By Pat Wade This year there are no- Loretta Youngs or Clark Gables to lure people to Heather.. Meadows ..but even the absence of their luxed and Camayed countenances cannot dim the glamour of the trip for skiing enthusiasts. Skis are rather hard to carry on the run so plan to leave a little before 6:29 a. m., Sunday, to catch the bus.

Cookies arid candy brought along by Miss Lillian George, hiking supervisor, put everyone in high spirits and they slid home in a gay mood. Proving an exception to the green-horn rule, the intramural basketball team flying under a green banner is rising victorious this week. Four wins and no loss* es to their credit and with the yellow team two losses behind, it looks like smooth sailing for a pack of greenhorns. This Saturday the fleetfooted WAA vagabonds will take only a short hike to keep from going stale on Sunday's jaunt. These faithful girls who venture out each wee,k are returning perfect examples of blooming health and are fast overcoming the craze for reserve room naps. Sol, finding a hiding place this past week, afforded skiing on the campus... The antics of Agnes Martin as she slipped down from Se-home hill to the back door of Edens hall were of perfect balance if not grace...
