Vol. XLVI — No. 10 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, December 5, 1947 The answer to an age old question has f i n a l ly been answered. It has at last been proven statistically that BLONDE hair always seems to be discovered on fathers shoulder. The fact is . . more blondes are likely to become bald than brunettes. However, brunettes are more susceptible to falling hair than redheads. The morale . . . put a redhead on your shoulder, father. * * * lt; But s t a t i s t i c s can be wrong . . . for instance . . . W e d n e s d a y evening a newspaper article s t a t ed that more meat is being c o n s u m e d n o w t h an was two months ago. For a person EXISTING in a college operated dormitory the only answer to such a statement is, "Brother, you can't eat statistics." * * * A WISE MAN traveling in the HOLY LAND these days would be wise to keep his eyes on the heavens . . with a prayer on his lips. * $ « . . . but, a Wise man in B e l l i n g h a m tomorrow would be issuing words of wisdom if he urged every person he met to VOTE "YES" FOR THE SPECIAL SCHOOL LEVY TOMOR-. ROW. * P * To Victor H. Hoppe, Mrs. Marion Ingersoll, and individual members of "The Skin of Our Teeth" we toss our appreciation bouquet of the week. We enjoyed your production and hope that the acclamation accorded your performance by the audience in some s m a ll manner repaid you for your long weeks of rehearsals. * * * REMEMBER . . . it's the AWS tolo tonight for a real treat . . . o n the gals that is. REMEMBER . . . it's George Hankins' band in the Crystal ballroom, of t h e H o t e l Leopold TONIGHT! * * « Many people have advanced the info that instead of h a v i n g Moblo's pep band fill in for unscheduled Artist and Lecture Series why not have the Artist and L e c t u re Series fill in when Moblo's popular aggregation is unavailable.

Cummins, faculty member. Also passed was the resolution stating that the A.S.B. officially endorsed the ten-minute technicolor movie which has been proposed to augment public rela- Seal Sale Gets Under Way Emphasizing the" fact that the battle against tuberculosis is a public affair, and the only way the public is asked to support it is by the purchase of Christmas seals, Clyde W. McDonald, chairman of the seal sales drive, announced that full scale vending procedures are now in operation. Envelopes containing 200 seals have been dropped in the mail already and checks have already begun to trickle into the Whatcom County Tuberculosis association in the Mason building. Persons wishing more seals, or who do not receive them by mail will be able to buy them at a downtown booth soon, McDonald reported.

A motion calling for the formation of a committee which will control all of the student body's recreational areas (Sinclair Island, Kul-shan Cabin and Lakewood) was approved. This committee will be empowered to take any steps which it deems necessary in regards to the maintenance a n d supervision of these areas. New Finance System Finding that the preparation of a monthly balance sheet of student funds will cost in the neighborhood of $250 annually, the board appointed the committee headed by Jim Sanford to go ahead with any recommendations regarding the institution of the new finance system it feels essential. Klipsun Investigation Learning that the Klipsun staff has a deficit of $192.30 incurred from last year's annual, the decision was made to clear the amount so the present staff will not need -to suffer the cut. However, an investigation will be made to determine, if possible, how the deficit occurred. Other business discussed included: the question of what to do with the camera which was purchased for the use of the Klipsun staff several years ago; the subject of the new pep and song leaders' emblems which was referred to the heraldry committee for its recommendations; and a repair bill of $44 from the mffiSc"department which was approved. Sociology Expedition Heads For Woolley . Interest in care for inmates of statev mental institutions on the part of sociology classes has resulted in planning two trips to the Northern State hospital at Sedro-Woolley on the two following Saturdays by approximately sixty students, a n nounced sociology instructor Donald P. Irish this week. Students, leaving at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, expect to spend about an hour touring the institution under the guidance of Superintendent P. E. Showlain. The experience will be repeated by a different, group of students on the following Saturday. Irish suggested that interested students not enrolled in sociology classes contact him if they wish to be included in either of the planned trips or if they are interested in undertaking a similar tour next quarter. Brown 6K Company Honored As %7 Klipsun Is 'First Class' First Class! That is the rating given the 1947 Klipsun*by the Columbia Scholastic Press association, sponsored by the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University, New York. 925 points were scored out of a possible 1,000, in competition with liberal arts colleges of comparably enrollment throughout the nation. The National Scholastic Press, sponsored by the University of Minnesota, will announce its decisions in January. "Clark Brown, your editor, schould be congratulated," said the judge. Other comments were: Good taste throughout the book . . . the editorial staff has turned in an** excellent job of reporting and editing . . . your student photographers are to be congratulated . . . printing and typography excellent. Bigger and Better When asked about plans concerning this year's Klipsun, Betty Mc-. Leod, editor, said "The '48 Yearbook will be 32 pages longer, and we hope that it will be even better than Mt was last year." The new Klipsun will be published in May. Same Crew Listed Members of the staff of last year's Klipsun, who are working on the '48 edition are Kathleen Golly, Barbara Cozza, Betty McLeod, Nancy Merrick, Bettyjane Christie, Ruth Norman and Wayne Craig. Mt. Baker Beckons Local Snow Birds All ski enthusiasts please take notice! The first bus trip to Mount Baker is scheduled for tomorrow. The bus will leave at 7:30 a. m. if enough students have signed to make a full load. Holding its first meeting of the year, the ski club began tentative plans for the year's activities last Monday. Regular meetings will be on the first Monday of each month. Reports from Mt. Baker lodge indicate that snow conditions are. perfect for this time of year. Already this tourist mecca has attracted hundreds of sporting enthusiasts each week-end. Remember! Bus leaves at 7:30 a.m. Education Tax Levy Needs Support of Every Single Voter Voting students and residents near the college are again reminded of the special twenty mill tax levy to be voted on tomorrow. Polling for residents of the fifth ward will be at the V. P. W. hall, and for those residing in the sixth ward, the Larrabee school. Proceeds from the special levy, to be assessed in 1948, and payable in 1949, will be used to effect needed repairs on Bellingham's sixteen public schools and Battersby field. An itemized list showing how the $407,000 to be realized from the levy will be spent includes improvements in sanitation, audio-visual aid facilities, interior decorating, lighting, and playground equipment. Some of the schools, built over forty years ago, have shown need for repairs to steps, roofs and woodwork within the buildings. It • is planned to accomplish these things if the tax-levy passes. Battersby field wDl have the addition of new light clusters; fence repairs are planned; and the light poles will be moved outside the fence. Official Roster Is Published Basketball Western Style, the official basketball roster of Western Washington college, will be distributed next week to all high school and college coaches in the State of Washington. In order to gain publicity for WWC, the roster will also be mailed to newspapers and radio stations throughout the state. The booklet, containing twelve pages, will include the schedule of alL.this^year's, games,,.the schedule, and results of last year's games, a complete roster, and pictures of the coach and players/ A picture of Pinky Erickson will be featured on the cover of the roster. Because of a limited supply of the roster due to the high cost, Basketball Western Style will not be available to WWC students. Violinist Artist To Entertain "His recital was the most outstanding violinistic debut this season." These words were used by the New York ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 December 5 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bet)ingham, Washington Friday, December 5, 1947 oditobials . . . News Lists Point To Exciting Campus A remarkable parallel can be drawn (with imagination) between the United Press' annual list of. the ten outstanding news events of the year and the WWCollegians newly thought of list of the ten outstanding news events occuring on the campus during, fall quarter. Of course the only parallel existing is the fact of "continuing news stories/' but at least no one can deny the fact that we had "continuing news stories." •Naturally the high cost of living was number one on the U. P. hit parade. '"This was followed closely by "the cold war" and "passage of the Taft-Hartley law and subsequent litigation." In the number four position we find "the Hughes- Meyers investigation" while "Texas City, Texas., disaster" was number five. "Princess Elizabeth's romance" and the "partition of India" were followed by the "series of airplane disasters" and "Arab-Jewish controversy over Palestine." Securely holding down the tenth position was "the world series." . Now we don't contend that our little list will create any worid shaking results but we still feel that cognizance should be taken of the various department and groups that have made WWC such an active and interesting place to sleep for the past quarter. So putting our tongue in our cheek and turning our back we meekly submit the fall quarter honor list of the WWCollegian: 1.; New Era (political expedient, you know). 2. Homecoming . . . special consideration to Armstrong and Lapp. 3. Building expansion and enrollment. 4. Student convoy to PLC and 'Pep club activities. 5. Music department activities. 6. Board of Control. 7. Drama department (Skin of Our Teeth). 8. Basketball season opener (U. of W. vs. Viks). 9. War Memorial plans. 10. Student Artist and Lecture series. Annual Christmas Vespers to Be Sung by a Cappela Choir Christmas Vespers will be presented to the students of WWC December 7, at 4:00 p. m. in the rotunda of the college library. The program consists of 16 selections, and is under the direction of Bernard Regier. This program is the most beautiful and outstanding presentation of the a cappella choir and is an annual and important affair *6f the fall quarter.

Registrar's Duties By NativeSon In the contrast to preceding interviews of WWC's new personnel, Donald A. Ferris, registrar, is almost wholly a product of the Evergreen state. Born in Yakima, Ferris has received a B. A. degree in education, a Master's, and is well on his way toward a Ph. D., all from the University of Washington. Linfield College in Oregon, and Columbia University made their contributions to his formal education; but on the whole, the man who came to WWC this, fall to relieve Dr. M. S. Kuder of a part of a big load could be called a true "Native son." Ferris began his teaching career in Kent, Washington, and then moved on to Issaquah, teaching social studies. The pleasant, quiet spoken registrar next went to Mt. Vernon to teach social studies in junior high school, high school, and junior college. He was guidance director in Mt. Vernon high school, night school director, and for two years served as vice-principal of that institution. Graduates or former students ot Mt. Vernon junior college will remember Ferris as dean of that school, a position he held for four years. Discussing Western, Ferris enthusiastically declared, "The college has great possibilities for expansion. I especially* appreciate the beautiful campus and the friendly atmosphere to be found here." The Ferris family, residing at 1000 Key street, Bellingham, consists of Mr. and Mrs. Ferris and their three children.

That little beam of sunshine is looking over my shoulder again . . . What's this in the wind—another exchange dinner? Great, we're all for it . . .

This hall's claim to fame is Nita Clothier, who has such an important part in the play "Skin of Our Teeth" that she has to be there all three nights. Hospice Inn • Thanksgiving holidays rushed by all too quickly for the men of Hospice Inn. Everyone reports a fine time . . . Charlie and Duncan McRae, Jim Loring, and Bud Hale played host at Friday Harbor over the week-end to Park Dyer, Jack Kelly, and Jack Purdy. The fellows wanly reported "a good time" on Monday morning . ; . Ace Francis suffered an unfortunate fall in the hall of-the main building Tuesday morning. Result: a tooth through t h e lower lip. Ace is at the moment well on the way to recovery, however. Off-Campus Girls This is your off campus reporter bringing you all the last minute news on what those gorgeous gals who make up OFF CAMPUS, INC., are doing. Some of the girls were pretty lonesome this week-end because so many of the stronger (?) sex went home for Thanksgiving. Not so with one blue eyed blonde I know of. Seattle is a wonderful place if you know the right people, isn't it Ruby? . . . Say Irene, how did you get that bump on your head? Better tell that young man not to drive so fast . . . Two happy girls over the week-end were Bev Snow and Barbara Ritchie, whose men came home for Thanksgiving. Happy Day! Harborview Term papers, term papers, and more term papers! Between term papers, tests, and practicing our Christmas caroling the inmates of Harborview are suffering from an acute case of lack of sleep. Barry Stockton, president of the house will sing a solo December 7 at the Christmas Vesper service presented by Bernard Regier. Meredith Hess will also lend her talent to this affair. If curses should be heard coming from this humble home it is only because the AWS formal is on the same night as the play. This is inconvenient for the actresses as they will look rather queer appearing at the dance at 11 p. m. smeared with grease paint. Only 10 more studying days till Christmas. Hurray! Forest Inn Thanksgiving is now over and we are concentrating on our studies. At least we are trying to . . . The big news is that Patsy Clark came back with a beautiful diamond on her finger. Congratulations are in order . . . If you wonder why Tillie Thiel is down in the dumps some days and up in the air others, just ask the postman . . .

Not for long, 111 bet, because how can she resist our housemother's cooking? Daniels Hall The fellows came to chow last Monday night with some new holds and tricks acquired from their Thanksgiving day tussle. By the way, gals, if you just happen to have your eye on some masculine material from Daniel's, just invite him over for food. From then on (if you're a good cook) it's a cinch . . . (How "bout that Mel , you oughta know) To enlighten you on this little insert here, Mel Lindbloom done went 'n popped the question to Roma Still. Roma said YES! Congratulations, kids. Chatter Box Back to the old grind after the Thanksgiving vacation. We hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Seems as if Bud Boe's was wonderful, even though it was lost. Dan Sayan went to the Ballard-Bremerton football game Turkey day. Joanne Rucker went home to Shelton and did nothing, she claims! Evidently Shelton is a popular place because Al Eaton visited the old home town too. Bev Snow's man came home from Pullman so her weekend was complete. Wick Roth just slept all weekend. Wonder what he did the weekend before? WWC was well represented at the Shell Saturday night. Couples seen there were Mariqn Hardin and Bob Call, Mr. and Mrs. Hal Partlow, Sally Park and Bob Gates, and Louis Kink and Kenny' Betner. Even if skiing conditions were poor at Mt. Baker Sunday, it was popular with students of Western. Ed McCullough, Blair Lewis, Bob Miles, Doc Walton, Norma Swan, Ruth Norman, Delores Christensen, Phyllis Armstrong, Madeline House and Stan Thompson braved the wind and rain for a day's skiing. Chuck Lutz's wrenched ankle was the only casualty from here. Many thanks for the new records on the juke box in the lounge. We really like "So Far" and "Bango, Bango' Bango" and how about the new "7-up" slot machine. It adds variety to the liquid diet. Plaids seem to be quite the thing this season. If you see a cute little boy walking down the hall in a beautiful gray and white plaid shirt that's Vern Whitney. Dolly McAr- 'thur looks very smart in her red plaid dress. Gordie Smith has a red plaid shirt that is really good looking. Saddles, loafers and Joyces are still the favorite in shoe apparel among the girls. Clogs are often heard during the rainy weather also. Looks as if the days kinda like these thick-soled shoes. Al Iraola seems to favor loafers because when he had athletes foot he could slip off his shoes and scratch his feet. Now he says other shoes are okay. Widge Black wears shoes because he's from Sequim and ^ everyone wears shoes there. That's about all for today . . . Have a good time at the dance tonight! Pauline Roser Is New ACE Prexy At the first meeting of the year, the A.C.E. members elected Pauline Roser as president. Other officers were: Jean McKelvy, vice-president; Esther Mjoen, secretary; and Mary Ann Oman, treasurer. The purpose of the Association for Childhood Education is to acquaint the students planning to become teachers with the profession as a whole and with WWC's Campus school. The meetings are to be held in the Campus school with each meeting in a different room so that all can become familiar with the building. Co-chairman for the discussion group are Katherine Niemala and ZIbona Daverin; for the membership drive are Marian Overcotter and Loren Rankin. Social chairman is Jean McKelvy and publications chairman is Jesse Winters. The next meeting will be held at the Campus school January 22. 119 ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 December 5 - Page 4 ---------- Western Wishington^Gollege of^Ec^tkw, B ^ ^ 59-32, Viks Over Seattle P.; Reserves Play Important Role In Falcon Drubbing By HAL GRONSETH Coach Bill McDonald swept the bench clean as the Blue and White rolled over the Seattle Pacific Falcons, 59 to 36, Wednesday night. After the first four minutes, the game was never in doubt. Ten minutes after the opening buzzer Western held a comfortable 18 to 6 lead. The half time score was 30 to 12. Cleans Bench During the second half the whole Vik squad got their feet wet. Some of the boys looked as if they need a little more work but on the whole the squad looked impressive. The starting five seemed like a fine ball club. Garry Starr and Stan Peterson started at forwards, "Moose" Zurline at center, and "Pinky" Erickson and Tom Green a t guards. Jack Ross is back off the injured list and will now be fighting for a starting berth. "Moose" Zurline. Tom Green Stan Peterson Tom Osswald Bob Cline "Pink" Erickson... Jack Ross Bob English ...

The gym will accommodate crowds of 2,400. The gyntnasium is a gift of the citizens of Tacoma. Cliff Olson, Pacific Lutheran athletic director, served as chairman for the fund raising campaign, and Mr. John S. Baker, Tacoma, was honorary chairman. A short dedicatory program w i l l precede Friday night's game. Dr. Raymond B. Allen, president of the University of Washington, will speak. Others who will participate include Dr. H. L. Foss, president of the Pacific Lutheran College board of trustees; Dr. S. C. Eastvold, PLC president; and Cliff Olson. ^haicltt ^Kom lite Bench . . . by peters CONGRATS . . . Number one of t he season—and what a tally, 30-12 at the half with a final marking of 59 to 36. There were substitutions galore last Wednesday night as the Viks overran the Falcons of Seattle Pacific; every man on the bench was used. Well the score is now one up and t he Hilltoppers have faced two squads of almost opposite ability. First the fast and deadly game that the Huskies played and then the rather slow moving type of ball played by the Falcons. • Next Tuesday, again, the Hilltoppers are scheduled to face Art McLarney's five on the home courts, and another fast breakaway, rip-roaring game will be fought out. The Viks ought to do much better now that they have some height and some pretty big men. * Jack Ross was laid up in the last U. of W. game with a bad leg but he should"get in the next one. Jack Graham has a bum ankle and Larry Slovak is complaining of a knee injury. That's all for this week. SPORTS ITEM OF THE WEEK . . . A water boy who had never before suited up, but with two years experience in bucket toting scored four points last Saturday as the Modesto, California, Junior college threw all available manpower into a 30-7 football triumph over Weber Junior college of Ogden, Utah. Rusty Rusti-gan went in without any shoulder pads to t ry for each conversion after the four touchdowns. He scored on all of them and also a safety. ATTf!N!«ON BASKETBALLERS . . . From Eastern Washington comesMe report that the Viking basketball squad will be fighting it but with the St. Martin's quintet in the finals. St. Martin's is predicted to be t he cellar dwellers! I don't think we can get them on a liabel charge but we can sure get them in the neck. True—Big Bill has played only two games so far, but the way his squad is shaping up he is going to have a good club this season. Of course it is still pretty, early in the season to have much faith in these early season predictions . . . well make ours later. LEAGUE LOG . . . Pacific Lutheran's new $225,000 gymnasium will be dedicated when they play the U. of W. five tonight in Tacoma. Jerry McLaughlin, a six-foot, three-inch center, will be in the key spot. He was second high collegiate scorer in the nation last season with 479 points. Wesley Saxton and Gene Lun-gaard will be t h e starters at the forward spots. The only two men on the starting lineup who a re under six feet are the two guards—Willis McLaughlin and Howard Willis. Last week Whitworth came but nine points short of doubling the score that Farragut college chalked up—38. Then we come to Eastern Washington squad who racked up more than a triple tally on the boys from Levitch—72 to 23. ROUND »N ABOUT . . . Way down in Medford, Oregon, last week, PLC came through again to score over Southern Oregon in a brisk Thanksgiving day game. And it was brisk too. There was some good hard playing with Oregon leading by two TD's at t he half. Five thousand fans were there to see the Lutes stage a powerful second half comeback to defeat the Red Raiders 27 to 21. The.victory was the seventh for the Lutes in nine games, the other two tilts ended in ties. * ACROSS THE NATION . . . Back in Philadelphia, the Cadets, led by their brilliant 172-pound fullback, Elwyn (Rip) Rowan, walked all over the Navy to bring down the curtain on their '47 season with an impressive 21-0 eyelashing. Probably the most spectacular play of the game was when the powerful back thrilled the 101,500 fans with his 92 yard touchdown play. Hoop Secrets Expounded For Matilda t By BILL BAKER Matilda went ' to see Western Washington play basketball. She doesn't remember who they piayed, in fact she doesn't remember much. This column is dedicated to people like Matilda, those who do not understand the intricacies of the cas-aba sport. The game is simple, one team pitted against another trying to sink~ as many baskets as possible in. the opposition's basket, that's all there is to it. Or is it? The first thing Matilda should know is t h a t the plays are set up by the guards as they come down the floor. Signa-s are sent to the rest of the quintet by the use of their hands and the team immediately falls into a formation. Blocking is just as essential in the maple sport as it is on the gridiron. The players are assigned men to block, as inconspicuously as possible, to pave the way for the ball carrier as he leaps to glory. But remember, Matilda, the glory doesn't all go to the lad that made the basket. A basketball player may look as though he is running up and down the floor aimlessly, but he has many tricks that will make him above average if w o r k e d e x p e r t l y. Watch for some of these details next time, Matilda, and maybe you will remember more about the game. Does Jersey Joe Stand a Chance? Another attempt will be made tonight to wrest the world's heavyweight championship from Joe Louis at Madison Square Garden. The unlucky man this time is Jersey Joe Walcott, a lighter but perhaps taster man t h an the champ. Louis is said to be in tip-top condition and weighs in at 212, the most of his entire championship career. Jersey Joe pounds the scales at 192, but is earmarked as making up for the weight in his speed in the ring. The majority agrees that the only chance Walcott has to defeat the champ is to land one lucky punch. That chance, shown by the betting odds, is about 10 to 1. It has been rumored that the champ has been slowing up a little in his old =age (33) but appears to be in first-rate condition. Jersey Joe, also 33 years old, will undoubtedly have a very difficult time rocking the supports from under Louis's 13 year championship career. It must be remembered that although one good punch would shatter this career, that one punch is going to be the hardest to connect with. Vik Lads Rate With Rangers St. Martin's Rangers came nearest to an upset win in holding Central Washington college to a 7-0 victory, but the Saints turned right around and figured that three of the' Central Wildcats were good enough to rate on their all-opponent team as announced Tuesday. . At the ends Rangers picked Walt Clayton of Western Washington and Nagel of Eastern; tackles—Charles Schroeder of Linfield and Leo Hake of Central; Don Bort of Central and Bill Currier of Linfield, guards; and Mork of Central, center. In the backfield, the Saints' all-foe choices are Bud Thrapp of Eastern, Vern Tucker of Whitworth, Jerry Karnofski of Western and Frank Spear of Pacific Lutheran.

The radio broadcasting classy Speech 120, will do a good share of the work; other students will be worked into the program later according to needs and demands as .they arise.. Because of the great demand for diction training among teachers, the usual class limit of 24 has been lifted for the summer term. Although the facilities of the speech laboratory are limited, Dr. Cotton feels that working under crowded conditions is preferable to closing the classes and depriving many of the advantages of speech instruction. Miss Bertha Crawford, who. is retiring after teaching 21 years in the Campus school. Hike and Feed Are Planned!

Given an Opportunity The Schools WILL Do It With the increasing responsibility placed upon the schools in the way of character and * physical development, we canhot help but feel that in order to do all thatj $ f are asked to do, we must have a longer school year. Our present scliool term of 180 days is a great advance over what prevailed in some sections years ago Unfortunately of late, die figure has tended to stalemate at that point. Well-trained teachers are coming forth m increasing numbers. In a few years die level of preparation in the state of Wash-ngton will be very high. Why, then, can't we give these teachers an opportunity to do a real job? * The public is expecting more and more of the school. Lengthening the term of instruction will give educators an opportunity to really do what is asked of mem. You'll Never Be Much Younger Dr. Lucy Kangley used to make her . students gasp when she advised them to do a great deal of outside reading while in college. According to her, teachers in the field seldom had the necessary time. Like so many another idea Dr. Kangley drove home in her brilliant way, this, we, after four years of teaching, have found to be only too true. Admirably reviewed elsewhere on this page is John Steinbeck's powerful "The Grapes of Wrath?' Allow us to recommend Dr. Kangley's thought and "The Grapes of Wrath." Proud and Pleased As Punch We are proud and pleased as punch to find that so many capable people have vol-untered to work for the Collegian. On the staff we have three former editors: Joan Hoppe, Rex Rolle, and Clarence Soukup; and three former business managers (and they, too, can write): Victor Dickinson, Bill Ridder, and Nancy Jane Smith. Donovan Reeve is carvng his: inimitable way through the linoleum again. In addition there are almost a dozen other willing and able reporters who have already made things hum. The WWC faculty and staff have been more.than willing to help. In fact we almost are, to paraphrase one Hashimura Togo, "suffocated with it," but hoi what a grand feeling that is. FOLLOW THE BIRDS TO VICTORIA Then There's Always The Weather Our pet 999 about the weather: if summer falls on a Sunday this year, let's go down to the beach and have a picnic. Visit the New World's Oldest City, July 4, in "A Trip Abroad in a Day" The Grapes of Wrath Here and There By c,oire L Boys Last week cocky Nippon was again having fun twisting the old British Lion's tail. The tormentors twist this time consisted of blockading the British and Stench concessions in Tientsin. So far the old Lion has just blinked his eyes and. given his disturber a menacing look. By the end of the week he will probably rise up and deal a telling blow to his offender. Wanting no trouble with the United States, Japan is allowing the 400 Americans living in the British and French concessions to pass- the blockade without difficulty. Practically all business has stopped, and very, little fresh food supplies have been allowed to pass the blockade. Japan declares she will strengthen her blockade further still unless England stops giving aid to the Chinese. V V SPANISH REFUGEES AND GOLD Generalissimo. Franco would like very much to get his hands on $200,000,000 in gold left in French banks by the former Republican government. France has informed Franco that the refugee problem must be settled before she will return the gold. In addition they expect a settlement by September of this year. The original number of 500,- 000 refugees harbored in southern France has been whittled down to 350,000. Nine thousand former Spanish soldiers have joined the French Legion rather than return to Franco for punishment. Three shiploads have already gone to Mexico and others are expected to leave shortly. The French gov-, eminent, has spent 130,000,000 thus far caring for the refugees. * .. V V ROCKETS AND MINERALS Sometime during the 30th century from some point in the United States large ultra-streamlined rockets will swish dizzily through space and come to a screaming stop in Antarctica. Aboard these rockets will be workmen, mostly miners, who will dig into the frozen strata for the last untapped source of valuable mineral resources left in the world. Fantastic, you say? Well maybe. Regardless of the absurdity of the rocket story, last week in Washington plans were being laid to establish claims to large portions of Antarctica.' With the help of Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Lincoln Ellsworth, and 200 men, the expedition will be government- sponsored. President Roosevelt has requested Congress to appropriate $340,000 to finance the expedition. England, Norway, France, and Germany, have already taken the trouble to make international claims. Already, mineralogists have found coal, iron, copper, and titanium. So if any rugged, ambitious young American desires new frontiers, let him look to Antarctica. Campi Coast to Coast By Winnie Rittenberg Between forty and fifty U.

Reviewed by Nancy Jane Smith Steinbeck has been called unpredictable by his critics. No two books have been, so far, at all alike. There is, however, an undercurrent of similarity which flows through them all . . .the proletarian theme . . . the gentle frankness which occasionally becomes robust, but never really offensive. In Grapes of Wrath he has voiced the' indistinct rumbling of the new and spreading - urge to mass survival. Here he has breathed *• life into people of whom we have read rather unconcernedly in the newspapers. He has made them live with a realism which is fantastic to those of us who have lived our comfortable, commonplace lives, never-knowing the devastation of a dust storm, the insecurity, the hopelessness of being unwanted. These people, the Joads and others like them, were thrown into conditions of filth, disease, and starvation through no fault of their own. The harder they struggled to keep above the surface, the deeper they seemed to sink into the mire. The environment in whiqh Steinbeck matured has colored his writing. Because he is a Californian, he writes with feeling the tone of the country; because he has worked he can understand the laborer of whom he writes; because he has been hungry, painfully, ---------- WWCollegian - 1939 June 23 - Page 3 ---------- \ip7.

While in San Francisco the Millers visited the Golden Gate International exposition, which, while only one-tenth the size of the New York World's fair, Dr. Miller considered very attractive, a harmonious whole in a delightful setting. Mrs. Miller stayed in southern California visiting friends and relatives and to attend the Northern Baptist convention in Los Angeles. Continuing his trip eastward, the veteran WWC educator toured the Carlsbad caverns, stopped in New Orleans, and visited in North Carolina. His greatest thrill he experienced while at the simple, yet expressive tomb of George Washington. A bit of personal satisfaction was experienced in the Library of Congress where among the 7,OOQ,Q0Q volumes, Dr. Miller's four were catalogued. Another thrill came to Radio city in New York where Dr. Miller and a nephew participated in a television broadcast.

Inclement weather is the reason ascribed to the. decision to confine sports activities to the PE building until the middle of July. The sport program will consist of all star teams composed of such greats and near greats as Harold Nelson, Russ Eyer, Dannie Gagnon, Jack Millard, and stars of other days, both varsity and intramural. These fellows and all others who are interested will turn out every afternoon at 4:20 in the PE building. Those who are in shape will try to retain that schoolgirl figure, and those who have been letting themselves go will try to lose, those buffet fronts. Two games are scheduled with the U of W summer stars who are being coached by Jack ^Torney. Tentative dates for these two encounters have been set for Wednesday, June 28, at Seattle, and Thursday, July 6, at Bellingham. The men who are tojplay in these games will be picked lby Coach Lappenbusch from those turning out at 4:20. Since the time is so short it is imperative that anyone aspiring to a position on the team commence showing up for scrimmage immediately. P o t s h o t S Engebretsen For the benefit of those who are new at WWC, a little explanation of the physical education setup may be in order. Since Coach Sam Carver is on leave of absence this summer the men's PE program is in charge of Coaches Lappenbusch and Mc- Gee. Lappy will have charge the first half of the quarter and then he has a month's vacation before taking up football practice in the fall. Lappy coaches tennis daily at 8:40 and will coach the all-stars in basketball every afternoon at 4:20. An attendant will be in the locker room at these hours and also at 2 o'clock to furnish equipment to all who wish to avail themselves of the physical education facilities. Besides basketball and tennis, one may play badminton or ping pong. Tennis, of course,-is played on the old courts which are located across High street from the library or on the newer ones behind the PE building. Ping pong and badminton are played in the building. There is no charge for equipment aside from the fees which you have already paid. Tennis players must furnish ^their own rackets and tennis balls and shoes. Those playing basketball, ping pong, or badminton need furnish only their gym shoes. . All right you old men, you young men, you fat.men, you thin men, you married men, you single men-let's turn out and suit up and get back a little of that old fire! Watch these columns for further information concerning dates,, games and matches, and everybody turn out. If not to play to watch.

Born in Texas, she received her early training from Samuel Myerscough, of Dublin, Ireland. In addition, Miss Scott has studied with Frank LaForge of New York and Joseph Lhevinne of Denver. LaForge is of interest to Washington people because his older brother, Charles F. LaForge, well-known Washington lumberman, financed his education. As an accompanist, LaForge has the reputation of being the one in America whose name has box office value. He received all his training in America. Miss Strange is at the Lamont school in Denver at the present time studying with Mr. and Mrs. Lhevinne who are outstanding exponents of two-piano work. During alternate summers Miss Scott spends a month in each of these, Alaska towns: Ketchikan, Juneau, and Fairbanks. While in Alaska she works only with piano teachers. Added to the Industrial Arts staff for the present session is Kindschy, principal of the elementary school of Tumwater, Washington. Replacing Don Bushell, who is now in California, is Smith, a graduate of the University of Washington and member of the Ballard high school faculty. He will teach music and orchestra. Ullin, graduate of WWC and former football star, now teaching at Rainier elementary school in Seattle, will assist Loye McGee'i with the summer recreation program. Heading the Collegian staff in the capacity of both editor and faculty adviser, is Dornblut, a degree graduate of WWC, and member of the staff of the Alderwood elementary school at Alderwood Manor, Washington.

T. A. INSTITUTE OPENS HERE NEXT TUESDAY ;.„ J Poll Reveals Majority WWC Students Against Teacher Strike At the annual convention of the National Education Association held in .Cincinnati recently, a resolution against strikes was adopted. The N.E.A. believes that the strike is "an unsatisfactory method of solving professional problems;" however, it deplores the conditions which have caused teachers to strike. Furthermore, the N.E.A. urges teachers, and others within the profession, to assume more of the responsibility for the removal of those conditions. •Your WWCoilegian in a poll conducted'this week finds a majority of the students at WWC supporting this stand of the N.E.A. . A s a representative sampling of the student body, 115 students were polled in the survey which asked: "SHOULD TEACHERS BE ALLOWED TO USE THE STRIKE AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR SETTLING WAGE AGREEMENTS" • - Yes ...J .....52 • -No'....-...„ 58 No Opinion 5 Nearly all of those participating in the poll -would have qualified, their answers. .Replies such as, "I think they, should be allowed to strike,' but, I don't think they should strike." "They should have the same-rights as any other American.". "It depends on the conditions in the school district," were voiced over und over. One student in voting "NO" stated, "Teachers should not be allowed to strike. They have a moral responsibility to the youngsters of our country." Another student, with nearly twenty years of teaching experience, said, "They most certainly should be allowed to strike. The work of the Bremerton group last year helped all of us." The general consensus of opinion was that teachers should be allowed to strike, but they shouM use. other means of settling their problems. Terpsichorean Fascinates Large, Appreciative Student Audience Dancing with an ease and grace acquired only through long hours of practice, Miss Mary Tiffany entertained an appreciative group of students and visitors in the auditorium this morning. Acting as her own choreographer, and showing an innate sense of humor as well as dramatic ability in all of her modern dances, Miss Tiffany, presented an hour of the most delightful entertainment witnessed here this summer.

A Canadian violinist from Vancouver, he has played before large audiences in both Canada and the United States. Prances Marr is the piano accompanist to Mr. Adaskin. The New York Times says: "Mr. Adaskin is unquestionably a fine violinist with ample technical skill." His program should be one of interest to all WWC students. Prexy Travels President W. W. Haggard and Dr. Merle P. Kuder, registrar, drove to Olympia Thursday morning to attend the two-day annual meeting of the State Board of Education and the State Board of Vocational Education. Evening Songfest Climaxes First Term Recreation Approximately 75 g o u r m a n ds feasted on weiners and potato salad Wednesday evening as their end-of- the-first-term celebration. The weiner roast was held in the picturesque setting atop Sunset heights with its view of the bay and islands. The picnic, under sponsorship of the recreation department was the last event planned for the first term. As a fitting conclusion to the outing Dr. Keith A. Murray, of the Social Science department, lead the picnickers in group singing. Van Aver Back With Degree Resuming his position with the English department after a year's leave of absence, Dr. Albert Van Aver contends that graduate study today presents more pressing problems than mere work and study, the least of which isn't housing. Dr. Van Aver and his family found it next to impossible to obtain living quarters in Cincinnati, and the few places which were available were almost-"untenantable*. Needless "to say, the Van Aver's are glad to be back in Bellingham and their home. Dr. Van Aver received the doctor of philosophy degree at the University of Cincinnati in June. Local Artist Sings Entertaining the s t u d e n t s of WWCE with an extensive repetoire of songs was Miss. Hortense Harrington, dramatic soprano and a native of Bellingham. Her program included several folk songs of different countries sung in their native language and dramatically presented to ihe audience. Other numbers were classical selections from Brahms, Rachmaninoff, an operatic number from Wagner's "Tannhauser" and several other pieces. She was accompanied by Miss Edith Strange at the piano. Hannegan Pass, Sea Cruise Beckon Outdoor Enthusiasts The second .part of the summer recreation program opens with two activities designed to attract not only the rugged, but also those who like to take life with less exertion. Tomorrow's event is another boat trip, this time to Sinclair Island, where the college maintains Viqueen Lodge, a beautiful cabin in its, natural setting, for the enjoyment of college students. Facilities for picnicking, swimming, sunbathing, and fishing are excellent. There are also several short, well marked hiking trails. Sinclair trippers will board the V. M. Osage at Quackenbush dock Saturday morning. Departure time is 7:00 a. m. The Osage will leave the party at about 9:30 and return again at 4:00 p. m. for the voyage home. The college will, furnish coffee, but picnickers must take their own lunches. HANNEGAN PASS HIKE An overnight hike to Hannegan Pass is the other, and longer, feature of this week-end. Hikers will leave the PE building at 7:45 Saturday morning for the drive up to the trail where the hike will begin. The hike to the camping grounds is between four and five miles, so hikers are advised to take along a light lunch to eat on the trail. Arrangements have been made to pack all food and equipment to the camp site, but each person should be responsible for personal articles, clothing, and sun glasses. Those who are going are advised to check the Yodeler for details. Saturday night, camp will be made near Hannegan Pass, a location of unsurpassed beauty. The rugged peaks and ranges provide a perfect alpine background for the camp site.. Among the attractions is the mountain heather, which thrives in this area. Early Sunday morning, a part of the group will climb Ruth Mountain, a short, but brisk climb, and one with a beautiful view to reward the climber. All hikers will return Sunday evening. Married Studes Picnic Sunday The Students' Wives club will sponsor a picnic for married students of WWC and their families at Whatcom Falls Park Sunday afternoon, July 27. Picnickers are advised to pack a Sunday dinner. Coffee will be provided. Shuffleboard," tennis and croquet equipment will be provided for adults, and playground facilities will be available to the children. A lifeguard will be on duty at the swimming pool. Those without transportation may catch the Silver Beach bus, which runs directly by the park, at the corner of Garden and Holly. Site Of Forthcoming P.-T. A Institute Final preparations were being made this week for the Washington Congress of Parents and Teachers Institute which opens a three day meet here next Tuesday. Mrs. Gus Keehn, state elementary service chairman, will act as general chairman of the institute. She will be assisted by Mrs. J. W. Bingham, representative, National Congress of Parents and Teachers; Mrs. George Crampton, president, Washington Congress of Parents and Teachers; Mrs. W. B. Nattrass, president, Bellingham Council P.T.A., and others. Afl WWC students are invited to attend as many - of the sessions as possible. Most of the sessions will be held in the auditorium of the Campus school. ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 July 25 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, July 25, 1947 Established 1899 Member Associated Gofletfate Press Published every Friday, except the month of September by the Associated Students, Wastern Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Wash.

Last week's WWCollegian carried a press release comparing the average school teacher's salary in the state of Washington with those of teachers in other states. It pointed out the great financial gains made in the past year by Washington school teachers, and concluded by stating that the new increases represent a 92% gain over the 1942 average. . We in the field of education are PROUD of those gains, and rightly so, for they represent no little effort on the part of all of us to better conditions in our profession. However, before anyone starts pointing out the new "happy" state of Washington's school teachers, they must realize that the comparison was made WITHIN THE TEACHING PROFESSION. To obtain a clearer, truer picture of the situation, the release would have done well to have include a few figures such as these: Bricklayers *$2.10W per hour Carpenters I.SWi " " Electricians 2J0OVi " " Painters... !J0% " " Plasterers 2.Wz " " Plumbers 2.20 " " * As of February 15, 1947, at Seattle, Washington. Figures from Table 8, page 620, MONTHLY LABOR REVIEW, April, 1947. RUBBER DOLLARS? If the married veterans in attendance at WWC have been following the progress of the "subsistence bill" now before the Senate with more than the usual amount of interest, they have a good reason to do so A $15.00 a month increase now would be like money from home. ft wouldn't be so bad if prices were at the 1941 level, but to try and stretch $90 over 31 days is next to impossible now-a-days. By comparing the average retail prices of foods in 56 large cities onFebruary 15, 1947, with the prices prevailing on January 15, 1941, vou can readily see why your $90 disappears with such rapidity.

MOBLO With the arrest of Billie Holiday recently comes the bitter barb in the side of all professional musicians— the Dope Charge. Time and time again we hear the old saying that a good musician can't survive without his side kick, Mother Marijuana. The Big Names in the music racket have a large following of junior size fans, and- realizing that they are idealized by these kids most band leaders take special precaution to stay away from the stuff. Our position as educators should be that of debunking any ideas the kids may have that to play well a musician must be drunk or on a Tea-Kick. When performers like Billie, or Gene Krupa of a few years back, lower themselves to take dope, it is high time they were marked off the eligible list for public consumption. Such fine musicians as Ellington, Miller, the Dorsey boys, etc., have presented a terrific type of jazz, without any help from the "hemp." This all adds up that the dope who takes dope is just a fair musician with big-time ideas and and small-time talent. More and more name musicians and band leaders have swapped the placid podium for the platter parade. Kate Smith, Paul Whiteman and T. Dorsey are the latest hipsters who have left the stage for steady jobs as Disk-Jockies. What with this current trend we might expect to hear the voice of A. Toscanini on the networks jovially cooing, "and now Tod and Verklarung going to the Black Dahlia from Red—etc., etc." Record of the Week: An amusing number by Jerry Colona "Cow Pasture Polka (lift your feet, lift your feet." Composer Roy Harris has published iiis newest musical monstrosity— Concerto for Accordian and Orchestra, which was broadcast last month. If this number doesn't put the Squeeze Box back in the hay loft it won't be the fault of Herr Roy. "Hand me my Jaw Harp ma, I crave to be an artist." It was announced that someone dug up the rest of a Rachmaninoff First Symphony in the rubble of Moscow the other day.

And returned with suntans! Pardon me while I scratch. I've been so nettled by nettles, and straffed by mosquito buzz bombers that I can't sit still. And that peel-that he went home and tore up the score. Many times afterward he tried to reconstruct it but always with failure. If complete parts have been found we will soon hear a posthumous Rachmaninoff symphony. The lowly trombone, about which pointed remarks have been made since its birth, may soon become a concert instrument. Anyway so the Russians think. Concerto Duets for Two Trombones has been published by a teacher in the Moscow Conservatory. Could this have any bearing up on the Russian lack of cooperation? Tuesday's assembly was one of the best musical assemblies I have ever attended. Miss Harrington succeeded in presenting a program that was thoroughly enjoyable. The German numbers were especially well done. Both, Come Sweet Death, in a mellow voice full of great feeling and beautiful phrasing, and the aria from Tannhauser were sung in a way that would make the best music critics sit up and take notice. I Hate Music, a very modern number by the composer, conductor, pianist Leonard Bernstien, was an amusing little piece consisting of five songs written in the medium of a small child. The Wandering tonal patters peculiar to the non-melodious modern music require a good amount of skill in voice control and tonal precision. It was truly excellent interpretation of a difficult piece. Miss Harrington's excellent choice of program material proves that she is not only a true artist but a philanthropist as well. ing sunburn on my back doesnt ease matters. But let's go back: "Come on," my roommate Ellie urged me. "Well spend a wonderfully relaxing weekend on the beautiful misty isle of Sucia—nothin' but lotus eating, lounging, a n d swimming in the beautiful sea that ebbs and flows there. Then—then," she says, "We can really start studying for the finals." "Ank, ank! I'm laughing yet. We each had strained a muscle by the time we'd hitch-hiked our way to Citizens' dock. (Ellie had sold Ruthe Wilder with the same sales talk.) What with knapsacks, paper sacks, sleeping sacks, and week-end sacks (bags to you, but sacks works in better), you'd have strained a muscle too. But gee-whiz, a girl really has to have all her lipsticks, sun tan oils, changes of clothes, and so forth when she goes on a two-day camping trip. Anybody knows that. And students that we are, we had to take a collection of books—any student knows that. Anticipating four hours on the high seas with no food, of course we had to take a lunch. So Ellie loaded down-with lunch, Ruthe with sacks, and me with the three sleeping bags, we hit the road at 1000 (sea-going for the time) Saturday morning. Arriving at last at Sucia and after chow, served by Mr. Kfear-sey and Mr. MacDonald, Happy Fisher consented to guide a group on a little walk across the island. You might call ft a "little" walk if you don't care what you say. Amid bee and nettle stings, sunburn and scratches, there's nothing like a "little" walk with Hap Fisher. Around campfire that evening, Mr. Mac had to lead us in "Goodnight Ladies" four times befdrt we took thehint and[toddled :;offlH»*the sacks. "Sweet dreams," they said.

The Yak (Bos grunniens) inhabits the Tibetan plateau. Being a member of the ox family, it is relatively simple to tell him apart from the other inhabitants. Yaks afford the only means of transportation along the Indus River between Ladak and India. Economists have been wondering for some time how they afford it. Some say it could happen only under a single-tax program, others give the credit to Capitalism. The .French won't believe it and the Russians have vetoed the whole thing. The Yak, of course, goes right on transporting and doesn't give it another thought. Most people know more about Yaks than they will admit. The Yak crops up quite often in our daily conversation. For example, as a means of cynical laughter people often chant, "yak, yak." In Minnesota the Yak is a mythical character from local folklore. One of the first poems children from that part of the country learn is: Yak be nimble, Yak be quick, Yak jump over the candlestick. The Yak is entirely unaware of his influence. Though the Yak looks somewhat like a well fed dust mop, he doesnt •like to be pushed around. The amount of effort it would take to push one around wouldn't be worth it, anyway. And besides, who wants to be a professional Yak pusher? A Yak is black. Which, besides being assonant, makes it easier for him to get around at night without being spotted. Some of them, however, are spotted—these are the black and white Yaks. Being spotted, they are quickly caught and domesticated. Once domesticated they start affording transportation and the economists become more confused. Yak's are like that. Now we're back where we started from. To find the area of this vicious circle, substitute Yak for Pi and proceed accordingly. Engaged Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Peaster, to Mr. Robert O.

Most G.I.'s that are attending schools of higher learning have forgotten a good share of the things that are taken for granted by the instructors. Their reason for forgetting can be well explained. They have been out of school anywhere from one to ten or more years. In that time such things as English, math, and so on have been forgotten, except the simplest forms in everyday use. I don't believe we should be expected to know as much as a person who has had no or little delay in education. In some instances it may appear as though we G.I. students at times do not know the usual rules and methods. It is in most cases not a lack of learning on our part, but a temporary forgetting which a little review could bring back to us. That is where my gripe comes in. . Some, of the. instructors don't wait to see who needs review. They take up the subject from where it was dropped in high school.

Several students returned with new tans to attest the fine weather. Sailing time was about four hours each way. Smooth water made veteran water travelers of all the party as not a single case of sea sickness developed. Activities on the island ranged from exploring to just plain loafing.

This question is bothering a number of dark horses and potential candidates, for it is hinted that under certain conditions, Franklin D. Roosevelt MIGHT overlook the precedent set by Washington and ac-cept the nomination for a third term- Mrs. Roosevelt says she hopes he wont. His popular* relative, Theodore Roosevelt, tried it and succeeded only in electing his Democratic opponent. Upon direct Questioning in regard to his attitude franklin Roosevelt showed distinct signs of rage and refused to answer; LET'S BE JAPANESE Reinforce- Peiping, China ments were July 15 rushed to the ; ;.j Peiping battle area by the Japanese high com-roand Wednesday.

"When China returns to normal We will withdraw the reinforcements." :.••; In other words—let's be Japanese. iTHE IRISH IN THEM D i s ap - Dublin, Ireland pointing to July 7 p resident Earn on de Valera were the results of the current Irish election which left him without even a simple majority over the other parties. The president had appealed to the country not to send him back to power unless they gave him a comfortable majority over other parties so that he could put the new constitution into effect and complete its economic and political policies in the next five years. Early returns looked like a landslide for the de Valera party but eleventh hour losses changed the picture. It is predicted that de Valera may go to the country again in 1938 unless he can arrange a satisfactory alliance with the Labor party. World Record Although fog March Field, Calif, forced them back July 14 from the Mexican border to a San Jacinto pasture landing, three Soviet airmen succeeded in setting a new world record for distance flying. Starting at Moscow, the jlyers zourse lay over the Pole and south ilong the coastline. Pilot Mfltafail Gromoff, co-pilot Andrei Yumosheff and Navigator Sergei Danilin are the heroes. Following so closely on the Moscow-to- Vaneouver flight, the Russians are pnfeaMy getting lew attention than their really epochal flight should have earned for then. Piatt Awarded One Year's Leave-Absence Science Instructor Plans To Study at Berkeley Miss Ruth Piatt, science instructor, will have a year's leave of absence at the end of her summer work. She has applied for admittance to the School of Science at the University of California at Berkeley in September. Miss Piatt expects to take advanced work in genetics, paleontology, and biology. An interesting feature of her stay in Berkeley is the fact that she will live at International house. There are but three of these fraternal houses in the United States; one at Berkeley, Columbia, and Chicago. They were built through grants from the Rockefeller, Jr., foundation and are open to foreign and graduate-students as places of residence. "International house at Berkeley is typically oriental, which will be a source of additional interest to me," remarked Miss Piatt. - She will attend the University for the school year 1937-1938 and return to her classes a* WWC next summer. o — Conference Draws WWC Faculty Members of the faculty from this college attending the Conference on Higher Education at the University of Washington from July 19 to 23, 1937, are E. J. Arntzen, Dr. A. C. Hicks, Dr. C. C. Upshall and President C. H. Fisher. Addresses and discussion will take place daily during both morning and afternoon sessions. Thursday morning President Fisher will speak on the subject, "Are the Usual Departmental and Lower Requirements of the Pour-year Instructions Justified?" During the Thursday afternoon session, Dr. Upshall will discuss the "Use of Tests in Guidance." A two-hour period from 3:00 to 5:00 p. m. daily has been set aside for many special conferences. At 3:00 p. m. Monday afternoon Dr. Hicks will participate in a panel discussion on "Reorganization of Freshman Composition on a Laboratory Basis." Chairman of the social science conference, "The Most Effective Teaching of Freshman History Courses," on Monday afternoon at 3:00, will be Mr. Arntzen. o Board Apportions Viking $142 To Meet Summer Expenditures An appropriation of $142 to meet the Viking summer expenses was made at the Board of Control meeting Wednesday night. Two recommendations for hiring of an advertising manager at $1 per issue and for giving the business manager a 20 per cent bonus on all ads sold over 70 column inches were rejected. Vinson's photography shop was awarded the contract for the Klip-sun work for the following year. The only other applicant, was San-dison's. It was decided to have a rec hour the first week of the second term to determine their popularity. Plans for the Board of Control picnic which was held at Lakewood last night were completed. . Bob Barnhart was in charge of arrangements. Vancouver Trip Catalogued Ruckmick to Direct Tour of Mills Arranged for Tuesday Vancouver bus trip on Saturday, July 17, and the Paper Mill inspection tour on the following Tuesday are on the College recreation calendar for next week. The buses will be at the disposal of groups desiring to make side trips during the day. However, such groups must be large enough to warrant the trip. Horseshoe bay, the bathing beach of the Vancouverites, has been a favored spot for former excursion side trips. This will be, offered again this year for a small additional fee. The buses will leave the campus at 7:00 a. m. and return here by 5:30 p. m. An inspection trip through the Bellingham Pulp and Paper mills, Tuesday, July 20nwill be under the direction of Herbert C. Ruckmick, of the Industrial Arts department. The tour will leave the campus at 4:15 p. m. 'Robin Hood' Walks Again At WWC In School Drama! Robin Hood came to life this morning at 9:00 a. m. in the Campus Elementarly school assembly under the dramatization of the eighth grade pupils. The fifth grade, joint sponsors of the day's program, illustrated;. the story ,of how man learned to talk and write. To illustrate the highwayman's characteristics, the eighth grade children selected and dramatized two incidents of Robin Hood's life. The choice of their assembly theme was the indirect result of a study unit on England. The project began with the reading of The Observer, a London newspaper. In one of the issues was published a map of the British Isles, around which were pictures of England's famous characters. Such a map provided inspiration for research work in the children's library. The reading progressed to a study of ballads, among which was Robin Hood. Fifth graders were also sharing their quarter's experience in the social science with their schoolmates. One boy presented the story of the alphabet. The class in general explained the earliest means of communication and illustrated their work with shell, string, picture, and stick messages. Students To Climb Mt. Baker; Party Leaves Today For Cabin; Plan To Scale Peak Tomorrow Home Coming Concert To Raise Money Homecoming musical artists will appear in a benefit concert sponsored by the Bellingham Women's Music club, Tuesday evening at 8:15 in the Garden Street Methodist church.

M. Patton. secretary of the State Federation of Teachers; and Gordon Cormi, of the state department of public instruction have been staying at Daniels hall this week while attending the convention of the State Federation of Labor. This state convention of the American Federation of Labor, which closed last night, was held at Eagles hall with 1000 delegates attending. This was the largest convention since 1919. James A.

"The dance must stop promptly at 11:00, so come early," cautions | Beverly Holiday, rec hour chairman. "It may be still light at 8:00, but the music will be playing."

Mentally the peoples of this world have accepted the worthiness of the cause. Yes, we in the United States believe in peace, but we have little faith in it— not while we pay $32.00 per family each year for war preparations. Many of us proclaim our pacifist's intentions today, but what will be our stand tomorrow——in that tomorrow we all hope will never come—when this country again takes up arms? Will we believe in the cause of peace? Will we dare to affiliate ourselves with such a movement? Will we number ourselves among the conscientious objectors? They are a group who still are looked upon with scorn; yet had it not been for their activity in the last war, we would not be so much aware of "peace" today. To voice our opinions now causes us no hardship, neither does it make any demands upon our intestinal fortitude. To do the same .thing during a season of war when the temper of the nation is keyed to a high pitch of emotional 'patriotism' is another matter. How many peace time pacifists believe in the cause of peace strongly enough to be war time pacifists? Are we truly paying homage to the cause, or are we merely giving lip service? o Added incentive for packing up to Mt. Baker land tonight—Maybe the lady with the straw colored hair under he sombrero is Jean Parker. Auburn, you say? Well, this satisfies my surrealist sensibilities. (Though I wish she's wear it shorter). But to get back to the Baker trek—see that tree line in the distance? And beyond, the ice cream cone of Kulshan? Hollywood won't be the only crowd that wears goggles and grease paint tomorrow. Innocents Abroad Pat's Prattle All in a dither to get to her 8:00 o'clock on time, Sarah Ann panted, "I'd rather be there in the nickle of time, than a tax token too late!" Now that there's a law against hitch-hiking; we might say there's a hitch to it. Overheard: He: "Say, but that dog is small. You could put him in your vest-pocket." She: "Oh, I see, a watch-dog!" And would you. believe it—someone actually did read this column and then applied to Miss Booth for the position of scarecrow in her 8:00 o'clock singing class. We've heard vaguely about this educational fervor, but what will people do next to earn their way through college? Question: "Is it all right to kiss with lots of lipstick on?" Answer: "Well, that remains to be seen!" Question: "Hade you ever been in Dr. 's Human Bake Oven?" Answer: "No, but I can tell you've been at leasf HALF-way in!" o _ Forum Those who underline words, clauses, phrases, sentences, or groups of sentences in printed material, especially the books in our library, should be consigned o the depths of oblivion. How many of you have run across such a marking and have wondered: "Is that really important'?", Can we not do all underlining mentally and let the other person explore virgin territory? —EL B. By Stroller One thousand cruising Americans went through Victoria and environs with gum and camera. Armed to the teeth with Wrigley's Wrappers and Afga-Anscos they trooped and shot their way through the wilds of But-chart's Gardens, snapped at the underbrush as they surmounted Observatory hill, and "took" themselves around town and over Beacon hill. In strict defiance to long-standing tradition, no one got sea-sick. "Oh, look, the ship's turning about! That's not right." "Why not? Turn about's fair play." " While music played in the dancing saloon, them as wanted to did their best to catch the floor which was becoming decidedly rhythmical and wanted to dance, too, but couldn't find a partner. Guessing games were popular. "Guess that must be Orcas island . . ." "Guess who I just saw on this tub . . ." "Guess we must be nearly there . . .") Others played hide and seek. ("Let's go outs-hide; I think I'm getting seek.") After three and a half hours of this and that, the Princess Victoria warped into dock, and the Beautiful City of Old England was at the mercy of the Hungry Horde. Some ate at the Empress hotel where they were served with lettuce and celery. Others ate at cafeterias and had soup. "What kind of soup did you have?" "I think it was rabbit soup; I found a hair in it." Still others strolled into Chinatown and ate Chow Mein, Chop Suey, and other Chinese dishes which, when they are brung, you wonder do you eat it or did you. A mad scramble was general after lunch as everybody crowded aboard busses and raced around the regular tours: complete with guide, tired feet, and sun-dry explanations. Other groups went alone and liked it. Not even the Parliamentary building where B. C.'s laws are made, nor the Museum where B. C.'s lores are kept was inviolate. "Did you have a good time?" Sure; I'm dog tired, ain't I?" Struggling and straggling through the customs and immigration, weary wanderers dragged aboard ship and slumped into the first convenient deck chair and went to sleep. A few hardy ones returned to playing tag with the dance floor, ran around the boat, or sought other forms of entertainment. There's ho time like the pleasant! The Stroller . . This week is brung a few varied and somewhat dusty overheards swept up in an old deserted saloon. "Do you know the Cain girl?" "First name Nova?" "Yeah, and is she a dope!" "That fellow sure is a study—and like most studies, he's a headache." "Did you get my letter?" "Did you send it air mail?' "No, my son brought it." "Oh, male heir." "I call my girl Blotter, 'cause she's such a pick-up." Cinema Week-Enders MT. BAKER Here comes a rugged sea picture portraying the life of the Gloucester fishermen.

It seems that right here on our own lovely, well-ventilated campus we can view wild life. And not the kind you are thinking of. In addition to those of us who resemble the missing link, and to the near-bear (pun, very feeble) which we see on the lawn by Edens hall on nice days, a deer, a real doe, was seen at high noon feeding close to the dorm. Two veracious witnesses, Al Korsborn and Coach Rankin, are willing to vouch for this. As Korsborn started to go for the inevitable candid camera, the doe moved leisurely up Sehome out of view.

Two of them are married . . . to each other . . .while the third is a bachelor. Two of them like tennis, the other prefers hunting and fishing. And all are teachers with experience. Here they are . Husband and Wife WWC Tennis Stars One of the few married couples attending WWC this session are Mr. and Mrs. Warren o Granger Both ^ ^ ^ have taught for rune years in the Big Lake elementary school in Skagit county. Both are interested in in Bellingham. Though Jenkins de-tennis, having shared honors as serted this school after two years of doubles champions and shone alone as singles leaders. They have one daughter, age seven. Mrs. Granger was graduated from the two-year course in 1924, returning the next year to obtain her three-year diploma. After graduation she spent one year at West Port, near Aberdeen, two years at Forest Glade in Snohomish county, and then went to Big Lake where she now teaches the primary grades and English in the seventh and eighth grades. While at the College, Mrs. Granger was president of the WAA, active in all women's sports, and a member of the orchestra. At Big Lake, she has continued her interest in sports, and is president of the Bellingham District of the Christian Endeavor. Granger finished the two-year course in 1926. Summers spent at the University of Southern California and WWC, where he returned each summer since 1931, have earned him sufficient credits to get his degree at the end of this session. After commencement, he taught for two years in Forest Glade, then moved to Big Lake where he is now teaching the seventh and eighth grades. Besides his interest in tennis, Granger shows musical ability. While in school he was a member of the orchestra, and glee club, occasionally singing in assemblies. He was also a member of the rec hour orchestra. He is now a member of the faculty quartet of the Sedro- Wolley high school, and also plays the piano accordion.

Having served as Viking associate editor and business manager, and as freshman reporter and organization editor of the Klipsun, he knows what reporting is all about. After his graduation in 1935, this personality taught for a year in the departmental school at Friday Harbor, giving instruction in reading and languages in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. The next year he moved to River-ton heights, outside of Seattle, where he taught the fourth and fifth grades. This fall he will return to the same position, though the teaching will be done in a new building in a consolidated setup renamed Boulevard park. His hobbies, besides newswriting, are music and stamp collecting. He may be found most of the time in Miss Erickson's room, working on Remedial teaching. He, too, may be listed in the ranks of "degree" workers.

Remember Our Location NUF SAID MIMI Third Mate of 'Djambi', Dutch Motor Ship, a Fluent Talker; Prefers Western Hospitality to Eastern EDITOR'S NOTE—This interview was written last quarter by one of the students of the advanced journalism class. Because of the evident interest in sea life among the summer school students, the interview has been published. By Jack Carver "Hospitality on the West Coast is way past that of any existing on the Eastern seaboard," complimented Third Mate H. Bynbergen of the Dutch motorship "Djambi" which recently lifted a cargo of pulp at the Municipal dock, Bellingham. The mate and his companion, the fourth officer, were willing talkers and soon gave enough information to fill a book. The former, a ruddy complexion-ed, middle-sized mariner, about 35 years of age, has been third officer on the Djambi for five years. He, like all other Dutch seamen of that line, the Silver-Pacific-Java, started out his career as an apprentice, working at that job for one year before taking an examination for fourth mate's position, followed at regular two year intervals by third, second, and first mate papers. Speaking in a quick Dutch-English brogue, Rynbergen sadly revealed that he "had been sailing the seas for 18 years, long enough to be captain twice, but was still only a third mate." Third Mate Explains Duties When asked of his duties aboard the vessel, he threw back his broad shoulders and said, "For eight hours a day I have watch—from 8 to 12 a. m. and from 8 to 12 p. m. I look after the cargo and every three months inspect the life boats and give the sailors exams and practice in life boat maneuvers. At sea, I shoot the stars and the sun for the ship's position. Being a third mate," he continued, "takes a lot of study in books." Later he proved this when he exhibited a few of his books, truly an intricate collection of scientific data that would stagger the ordinary person. One of the most remarkable accomplishments of the Dutch seamen is their mastery, of at least four languages; all can speak four All Phases of Expert BEAUTY SERVICE Peter Pan Beauty Shoppe Medical BIdg.

Reporters Swallow Big One The mate told a good one with which the crew had beguiled some Australian reporters while in port there. The* newspapermen had inquired if the crew had seen any wonders of the sea during their travels. Deviltry broke out, and the newshounds were solemnly told of a monster albatross which had two heads, one white and the other black. Evidently that bit of news floored the Australians for the next day a story under the caption, "Wonders of the Sea!" came out, relating in awed tones the startling incident. (Bight now two American reporters are wondering what they were beguiled with.) "I remember the longest trip I ever made," reminisced Herr Bynbergen. "It was the last one from Java to Boston. We were 35 days at sea and the only land we saw was the Cape of Good Hope. To make things worse, we ran into many storms and the weather changed from cold to hot, and from hot to cold. But "we're glad to be here now. Say, is this going to be in a newspaper. Yes, well you save a copy for us, and we'll see you next fall on our return."

Carver Sport news around here, and elsewhere, too, seems to be about nil. Anyway, this writer and his three assistants went on a big news hunting spree and what resulted from our quest follows. Russell McPherson, whom Coach Carver claims to be the best fullback ever put out at WWC, came back and paid his former teacher a visit last week. "One reason for his greatness" Carver recalled, "was in the CPS game at Battersby field Way back in 1923. There were 30 seconds to go and the game was tied, 7-7, and we had the ball on the CPS 40-yard stripe, but you couldn't tell there Was a stripe because there were three inches of water on the field. Well, Mac got back there and kicked, that ball straight through the bars for a 10-7 victory. It was the longest field goal ever kicked by a WWC player." PICKUPS This Foster Porter that the Boosters picked up from the Sacramento Coast league club, looks like a comer. He has speed, change of pace, and looks as if he knew something about pitching Guess some of those movie stars can really play tennis. See that Charlie Chaplin and Ellsworth Vines beat Grou-cho Marx and Fred Perry 6-1, 9-7... Umpire Campbell, of the Western International league, resigned on account of the near-riot at a recent game in Lewiston, Idaho. He had to have a big police escort to get off of the field. Some fun, eh? . . . The Newark club of the Yankees' farm chain is 16% games in the lead in the International league. The players have to do their best if they ever want to break into the powerful Yankee outfit . . . Hurley Boggess got his big hit in the pinch, sure enough. He swatted a homer with the bases full down at the U. of W. last week to help WWC win. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch, of WWC and a student at the U this summer, umpired that game, and was he heckled! OVERHEARD Notes from the Viking-Husky bas- UW Gives Beating To Summer Basket-bailers, 64-45 Game Wide Open; McBeath And McClurken Head W WC Taking on the aspect of a major bombardment, Monday's basketball engagement between the U of W and WWC at Seattle, ended in a defeat for the Vikings when the Washington squadron shelled Admiral Carver's charges—64 to 45. A hard running forward by the name of Bates was the fly in the Viking soup. He was held to 8 points in the first half, but r a n wild under the basket to score 12 in the second. Zeke McClurken and McBeath were high pointers for WWC with 10 and 13 points respectively. Zeke's shots were of the mortar variety— starting near mid-court, zooming into tHe attic stratosphere, and swishing through the hoop. McBeath wasted no time on loopers— he rattled 'em in on a line. The lineup: WWC U of W Tomco 4.. RF. Bates 20 Skotheim 2 Boyd 3 McClurken 10 LF. Case 10 Taylor 6 Roland Heming 4 Alpaugh C Miller Bownes Buchanan 2 Thorsen 4 RG Dixon 8 Shelton 1 Normile 7 VanLeuven 5 LG Hadley 7 McBeath 13 Carboneau 3 Totals—WWC 45; U of W 64. " he struck him out—and the last half of the ninth inning is over—and the ball game is over— and WWC wins 14 to 4." "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have just tuned in, let me say that you have missed a swell ball game."

Three former WWC athletes got in the Vikings' hair. They were Carboneau, Dixon, and Denton. Dixon is a basketball sweater winner here . . . Carboneau wanted to know where Zeke McClurken got so many elbows (guess he was having a tough time taking Zeke's fouling) . . . Tomco, McClurken, Thorsen, and Skotheim all lost about five pounds while playing in the big pavilion. It was over 90 degrees in the place . . . There could have been a better referee for the classic, many fouls being overlooked . . . Roger Mullen batted number 2 and hit around .400 in the Whitman county league this spring. Quite a slugger-he hit a homer with the bases full. He would be a help to some team in the Community league here . . . Ducks Leave Lily Pads; Carver Is Hot To look at the score one would think that Scotty Skotheim's Ducks had come out from amid the lily pads and water-bugs to sneak up behind Tomco's wild Tomcats and smack 'em on the ear so bad that the Cats went down to their first defeat. But it was a different story, altogether, although the score book reads Ducks 14, Cats 10. It seems that Scotty could muster only four of his Ducks (the other one was taking his swimming lesson and learning how to swan in the new pool) together and by the rules, if five men aren't on the floor, the game must be forfeited, and so it was. But overweight Skotheim, Shelton, and McCleary decided they didn't want to diet, so called for a practice game, getting Coach Sam Carver to play for the Ducks. Carver stole the show from his former pupils, garnering 8 points to lead the scoring. The subs even had to referee, Dale Courtney doing most of the whistle-tooting, and there was a lot of it, the boys really getting in there and mixing it up.

A few other people seem to be enjoying playing tennis games lately, though. Aha. Knibbs is in the third place on the badminton ladder this week in the place of Shay.

Miss Charlotte Richardson, of the industrial arts department, and Helen Hostetter, business manager of the Klipsun, handed in that winning inspiration, Lakewood. To President C. H. Fisher, who also suggested the winning name, but who acted as a contest judge, will go, the honor of rechristening the college playground today at Tennis Court Dance Tonight; 'SaveiYour Energy' Are you tired? Are you sunburned? Are you mad 'cause you didn't win the name contest? But the all-important question is: Are you saving enough energy for the dance tonight?

With the jackpot totaling $11.15, the winning bag of gold is filled with $8.36 worth of dimes and nick-les. According to rules laid down for the contest, the co-winners will receive $4.18 each. The consolation award is made up of the remaining shekels, which amount to $2.79. Meeting at' 9:00 a. m. Monday morning, the judges went to work immediately. The list of proposed names was divided into three groups; taking each group separately, each judge ranked the names one, two, and three, according to his judgment The scores for each name were totaled, and the three best names from each group were selected'and compiled in a separate list The final list was ranked and scored in the same manner as the other three. Lakewood ranked first. o— Stupendous Events Slated For Today The time of the affair has even been extended and dancing will be from 8:30 until 11:30. Mel McKee's orchestra, which will render its in-sancapated hi-diddles, will be seated on a raised platform. Colored flood lights will afford effective illumination with Mr. Moon and his satellites acting as powerful helpers. And it's guaranteed the courts will be danceable. Two hundred pounds of good old corn meal have been secured to do the trick—but it's at warning you'd better wear old shoes. The entire faculty have been cordially invited and it is hoped that there will be many members in attendance.

The Morning Oregonian, in its regular weekly series of pictures of colleges on the Pacific coast, last Sunday featured pictures of seven prominent co-eds from the WWC campus. The girls to break into print were: Bonnie Jean Wilson, Helen Acklen, Maxine Moldrem, Florence Lund, Anna Padden, Virgie Boal, and Joan Hoppe. Another picture featured was a scene of the library as seen in midwinter. With the snow-clad trees in the foreground the library made a highly imposing picture.. "I can't understand where all the poetic inscription came from," commented Don Gooding, the lad responsible for the publicity end of the page.

Assembly Mysterious To find out about the assembly program, you'll have to come and see for yourself. Chairman Norma-jane Gorsline insists that the big event be kept a mystery, so we poor reporters, know-nothings ourselves, can't enlighten you in any way. Here's one little tip, however. Elsabelle Cruttenden plays the role of an unruly training school sixth grader and Virginia Holm falls in love with Leon Hewitt. And, Boy! how she falls! Faculty Battles A battling faculty baseball team, headed by Coach Ruckmick, plans on upsetting the student team's applecart. Both teams will have a liberal sprinking of femininity in their lineups. The time is 4:30. Dancing under the stars, a la California style, is what Marge Osier promises at her tennis court dance. Varicolored lights and soft tunes of Mel McKee's orchestra should entice all to come out and swing it. This novelty dance, first in a couple of years, should prove a great success and lots of fun. Do's Ana Dont's For Prexy! Prexy, here are your do's and dont's for the long anticipated ceremonious christening of our playground (according to Emily Post). You MUST send announcements as soon as possible, but DONT! (by any means) print them,—you might telephone though. Godmother Jenkins must hand the new arrival to you and immediately after the sprinkling, don't forget to hand the baby back. Godfathers Cederstrom and Bond must stand beside the bottle—of lake water. The godparents must present to the new arrival a silver mug, a porringer (mush-bowl to us youngsters), or a fork, knife and spoon.

Debrils Born 30 Years Too Soon SCENE: Normalstad—-1889 TIME:: 9 a. m. Campos day SETTING: A rustic fireplace under a erode shelter stands in the midst of a forest premevaL The deep silence is broken only by the pines and the hemlocks whispering among themselves and now and again by the shrill squawk of the three-toed sloth, the rumbling purr of the wildcat, or the low moan of a lone coyote. The entire scene appears through a thin, grey veil, for its raining . . . a . . . slow . . . steady . . . drizzle . . . dr-ip . . . dr-op . . . dr-ip . . . dr-op. Suddenly the harmonious sounds of nature are drowned, out by an unmistakable sound . . . Mr. Kibbe has arrived on his bicycle with Dr. Bond in the sidecar way ahead of the buggies and second only to Miss George She came sprinting in at the crack of dawn like a fleet-footed marathon runner and is now engaged in making a fire by rubbing two wet sticks together. Kibbe and Bond come plunging through the underbrush and with the aid. of a mariner's compass, smoke signals, and a Boy Scout handbook manage to locate the site of Normalstad. They immediately busy themselves with the fire and are soon lost to sight in an in-penetrable smoke screen even the Spanish rebels would be proud of. Then comes the squeak and the rattle of rusty buggy wheels on the newly constructed corduroy road (WPA). "Prexy comes down like a wolf on the fold" bearing a lawn-mower, three shovels, two hoes, and a pick axe . . . . Soon the rock and rills echo with the sound of the woodman's axe, hammering, sawing, splitting, blasting. Then out of the din rise the words of an official proclamation—From this time hence let all travail. cease. Let joy and good fellowship reign supreme!" A lusty cheer rises from the jolly crowd (25 students—21'women and 4 men). Fighting off mosquitoes, goats, and other miscellaneous members of the specie they manage to masticate their lunches. After water-splashing contests, suitably accompanied by feminine shrieks, a hair-raising mud-crawl relay and a breath-taking stone-skipping contest the happy throng rattles back to town leaving behind as evidence of a good day's work a substantial french-windowed lodge, an outdoor, sheltered brick stove, 2 bathhouses, a boathouse, four boats, a long pier and diving tower, a caretaker's cottage and Miss Longley picking up the stray beans.. And they call this Campus day! After a little Shakespeare, let's get back to the conventional style. Dirt, dirt, who's got some dirt? Dirt was at a premium, so your tax collector (it taxes our nerves to write this stuff) ups and makes the rounds. Had to go to Lake Whatcom to collect some of this garbage. Found out ISABEL FISHER goes horseback riding so she can be near a certain helper at the riding academy. Ah! A triangle found. Track runner NORM FUNK sprinted into a date with WINIFRED KRIETER; wonder if CLAYTON KNTTTEL had a little to say? JACK REEVES says spring has a number of meanings and the worst is that the grass begins to grow. He was inveigled into mowing RUTH KIRK'S lawn—and the grass grows greener. ANDY JACKSON seems to like bread these days—at least the CRUMB'S. Oh, these strollers. Wonder why HARTMAN LARSON and MAE MCDONALD aren't on speaking terms. Ya know, these "Sunsets" are the "heights" of things. More pick-ups: GAGNON and the ECHO had another little quarrel. Ho-hum. What's wrong with the guys around here? PAULINE BARNES and ZETTA PARKS imported a couple of Seattle boy frans for the Edens hall hop. Well, absence makes the heart grow fonder. WAYNE WEBER doesn't have to depend upon his legs for track any more. He has a SHAY to cart him around. Yes, spring has its effects— BOB MINNIHAN and BETSY DA-VIES were seen by four eyes meandering up the/hill the other eve. And the moon was out, too. Another big correspondent is in our midst—bespectacled DICK WILSON scribes with one of the fair sex in Liverpool, Eng. Don't say anything you'll regret, Dick. o Fore!—Love! Go!! These will be heard at the annual Tri-college meet held Saturday at Waldo field, the tennis court, and Lakeway. We hope Chase and Lindsley come in under par; that Orloff and Skinner beat them off the map (by them, we mean Cheney and EUensburg) and that Phair and Gagnon keep those tracksters on their toes. Girls, get out your umbrellas and raincoats so well be sure to have good weather. Be see-in you Saturday and hope we come out on top. ...and Campus Day The day of days at last comes nigh, and now the studerits feel. The fellow who deserves a cry Bespectacled hard worker, he is Campus Chairman NEIL, tore through with his plan— this boy is not a shirker—he even fooled the weather man. Now, as you raise old Ned and Cain, 'pon this newly christened place, thank Ralph that naughty old man Rain, ne'er showed his streaming face. There's GORSLINE, HOLM, and WHITE, who helped on the committee. They pushed the project day and night, arousing the whole city. And SELANDER, SOUKUP, TRUAX, and WILLIS, have done their part this day to thrill us. MARGE OSLER, energetic gal, boraxed the tennis courts. For dancing underneath the stars—entertainment of all sorts. VIRGINIA HOLM and MOL-DREM, food producers for the day—their grub it ought to hold 'em—full stomachs will hold sway. If we'd take space to mention, all who put over this event. The print shop would have dissension. All the type would be quite spent. So as you swim, and play, and dance, remember credit's due, not only to one lone person. But to YOU and YOU and YOU! Dancing Didoes Campi . We learn from a trade journal that 3,000,000 men in America are now wearing silk underwear, proving, among other t h i n gs that there's darn little privacy left in this world. Dean Lauer, of the University of Washington, has written a story on campus "talk," translating material from an article on "American Student Slang" by Felix Bauman. of Germany, who recently toured this country in quest of college "slan„ guage" A few definitions included in the deans story are: Homely girls— crock, hard-nosed, cookie, pop-eye pansy and muddy-plow. Good-looking co-ed—fever frau, snuggle puppy, and flesh and blood angel. Campus romeo-^-ball of fire, squaw man, gold mine. Student automobile—rolls rough, struggle buggy, bone crusher, a merry can, tintype. A kiss—tonsil swabbing, mug muzzle, parksology and honey cooler. A dance—hog wrastle or cement mixer. Thus we have— Hi, fever frau! How's for a spin to the hog wrastle in the tintype and a little honey cooler?" Wan yellow moon, radiating romance, flows down on an infinitesimal square of light Smiling it shines on, and modestly averts its eyes. Rasping sounds of a vast army of shoes dancing on concrete. Scrape, screech—monotonous, nerve-wracking and eternal. The soft brilliance of the moon is overcome by the stark glaring light of incandescent bulbs. A cool breeze wanders aimlessly through the warm night. Melodic strains of an orchestra Hold invisible bivouac with the scrape, scrape of leather and cement. Gliding to the romantic melody couples thread their Way, oblivious to the world, conscious only of themselves, the moon, and the music; it comes to a lilting halt. People swarm the edge of the court— girls, laughing and vivacious; boys grouped together, talking, gesticulating, questing eyes rove over the array of girls as the band strikes up. Intermingling crowds, again they sway to the harmonious music, forgetting the world, they are forgotten— romance, ecstatic and complete. Orchestrations come to a dreamy halt. A pleasant tired feeling dominates the wave of humanity that surges the gate. Two by two they straggle.down the street. The scent of blossoms wafted with the breeze, intoxicating with the breath of spring. The moon is slowly obscured by a fleecy cloud. Campus Day dance. —H. F. o— DearMama PEAR MAMA: Oh, woe!

BAKER "23]/2 HOURS LEAVE with JAMES {JIMMY) ELLISON ---------- Western Viking - 1937 May 19 - Page 3 ---------- Wednesday, May 19. 1937 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE O F EDUCATION Who will win the Tri-college track tide? That's the question that seems to be bothering the experts. Sam Career is a good coach and a good coach is always doubtful but hopeful, so Sam is throwing ftis shekels in with the big red machine from Cheney. Doc Bond, who is a master at juggling figures, has done a little betting on the side and is putting his money on our own Vikings. The Viking staff hopes Doc Bond is right but we cant deny facts, so here comes our prediction —Cheney, 47; Bellingham, 45; Ellensburg, 39. A juggling of a few of the second and third places, would send the white and blue to the top of the staff, so just hold your breath and wait! No matter who wins, several records will just be has beens. Glen Hartman, Wildcat 440 ace, who talks in a whisper and runs in the same fashion, is sure to crack the mark for the quarter mile distance wide open. A cracked pole in last week's Frosh meet may have spelled bad luck to Glen Ferris, also of Ellensburg, but if he can do just as well on the aluminum, the pole vaulting record is in for a shaking. If Ferris fails, Patterson, of Cheney, who broke the record last year, would like another chance at his own mark. Cheney has two other claimants to fame, one a husky spear tosser by the name of Boyk, who has already bettered the record in previous meets. The other claimant is the Savage relay, team which dynamited -around the mile distance to tie the record in the Wildcat meet. Dan Gagnon will carry the brunt of the Viking hopes for a new record. With the wind at his back, Danny whistled over the 220 twice under Tri-college record time, once in the Logger meet and once at the University. Sidelights The Viking golf team will win the Weisfield-Goldberg trophy and the Tri-college championship . . . What happened to Phil Kidder in the qualifying round? . . . More power to you, Manford Chase, may you continue to play the same kind of golf in the Tri-college . . . Ellensburg will take the tennis title away from the Norsemen . . . Taylor will stage a comeback to beat Montgomery, of Ellensburg in the mile; don't forget Brown, of Cheney, Bill.. . Krue-ger is likely to win the 230 lows . . . There will be at least three records broken Saturday. Bond Predicts Track Score Don Holder, 1933, Aberdeen high school—starred in football and track —After four years still holds Grays Harbor county records in broad jump and high hurdles—Was state champion high hurdler in 1932— also a member of the state champion relay team the same year— Came to WWC in the spring of 1934—Has excelled in track, specializing in hurdles, broad jump, and high jump—Also played one year of football—Tri-college his last meet for WWC—Capable and likeable- Holder will be missed next year. o Track Impresario— Coach Carver What Would Happen if— Parson Millholland turned on the heat and Won the tu)o-mile . . . the tennis team would win . . . at least one game . . . M. T. Nelson broke the Tri-college shotpul record? Sam Carver, director of athletics, speaks for himself in welcoming the Tri-college teams, "We extend a hearty welcome to the Eastern and Central Washington colleges of Education to another meeting in track, golf, and tennis. Early season track meets show the Cheney Savages to be the favorites. Their win from Ellensburg indicated a well-rounded team with strength in the weights and hurdles. We make no concessions, however, and it's still anybody's meet." By Dr. Bond It would be much easier to d e s c r i b e the outcome of the Tri - college t r a c k meet next week. But since I am asked to predict the outcome in advance I shall give my best judgment. Points The broadd jump will net us .8-9 The high jump .......8-9 The shot ...i-3 The javelin o-l The high hurdles 5-8 The low hurdles „ 3-5 The mile 3-5 The 220 yard dash ..' .....3-5 The 100 yard dash ..1-3 The 2 Mile ...3-5 We have a 50-50 chance to get one point from the discus, the half mile, the quarter mile, and the pole vault. This will likely net us two points more.' Our score should be between 37 and 53. , This will not be a dual meet between WWC and Cheney, Ellensburg will be heard from also. I think that 48-50 points will win the meet. o Lappy Welcomes Visitors; Conference Slated Tri«-ColIegiates Meet Saturday Cheney Favored to Win Track; Bellingham in Second; Golf and Tennis Squads Also Play We pleased invite Strong are to t he El- Tri-College Records Events Time or distance Mile run 4:32.8 100-yard dash 9.8 220-yard dash 22.4 440-yard dash 51.1 120 high hurdles 15.4 880-yard dash 2.01 2-mile run 10:11.2 220 low hurdles 24.8 High jump 6 feet Broad jump 22 feet, 2 5-8 in.

The matches will start at 9:00 a. m. offering ample time to finish before the track schedule begins. With Ellensburg holding two dual meet victories over our team, the Vikings are hoping to retaliate in their encounter. Conference Organizers Meet Friday, May 21, at 8:00 p. m. in the class room at the new gymnasium of the WWC, the proposed members of the new college conference are to hold a meeting.. The institutions to send delegates are: Central Washington College of Education, Ellensburg; Eastern Washington College of Education, Cheney; St. Martin's college, Lacey, Washington; Pacific Lutheran college, Parkland, Washington; Oregon Normal school, Monmouth, Oregon; Linfield college, McMinnville, Oregon; and WWC. It has been the feeling of the members of the Tri-college conference in the past that we are lack-iig recognition due to the small membership of our conference. By having these reasonably nearby colleges in a college conference we will not only have a conference of Washington schools, but in Linfield college and Oregon Normal we will have two of the stronger Oregon small colleges represented. The rating possible by including five Washington and two Oregon institutions will be more meaningful. Opinions Given This meeting Friday night will offer every institution invited an opportunity to voice its opinions in regard to the conference and its problems, and we hope that no conflicts will arise which will be so severe that they will keep this college conference from becoming a reality. As in other college conferences an annual meeting will be held to discuss eligibility rules, to set schedules for the next year, and to take up topics of special interst to the members of the conference. Dan Gagnon—hails from Everett —attended WWC two years ago— made his letter in basketball at time of first attendance—Gagnon was the fireball of the 1936-37 Viking quintet—small, wiry, he covers distance in short time, running under record time in both Logger and Frosh meets—Gagnon is expected the break a record in the 220-yard dash Saturday—The muscular speed-ball has been one of the main cogs of Sam Carver's track squad and is expected back next year. o Tracksters Predict Victory In Tri-College With the long awaited Tri-college meet coming up Friday, Viking track men are tapering off for what promises to be the closest meet in years. Following are the replies off Viking trackmen in answer to the question—What are WWC's chances in the Tri-college? Bill Taylor: "It's going to be a close meet. Farris, Hartman, and Montgomery, of Ellensburg, and Lyle and Walter, of Cheney, will be hard to beat. If we get a few warm days and the breaks, Bellingham should win. At least we will do our best. If Montgomery wins the mile he will have to run 4:35." Harold Nelson: "If the weather is right, I think the best marks of s iated to do the announcing, the year should be made." Athletes and more athletes will come across the- mountains from Cheney and Ellensburg for the big Tri-college track, golf, and tennis meets being held here on Saturday, May 22. This is the first time in three years that the affair has been run off in Bellingham. Cheney, track champions the past three years, will be out for another win, with the prospects bright for such a happening. They have defeated Ellensburg, and Ellensburg has beaten Bellingham. The Viking golfers, who have marched off with the honors the past five years and are undefeated so far this season, are top-heavy favorites to repeat again. The tennis squad of Ellensburg should come off the courts winners, having already swamped both the other institutions. Veterans Back Coach Sam Carver has two boys back who competed in the Tri-college here in 1934, and who still make points for WWC, Don Holder and Bed Van Over. Don is the versatile one; he runs the high and low hurdles, broad jumps, and high jumps, . ---------- Western Viking - 1937 May 19 - Page 4 ---------- WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION Wednesday, May 19, 1937 Next Assemblies Mostly Musical Spaetn WU1 Dance!

A few days before school started, some of the "boys" were cleaning up Edens Hall. One of the boys, a Montanan named Doug Lince, was put to work cleaning the spiderwebs out of the clothes closets. He went at it very industriously and in practically no time had several of them done. Miss Gertrude Longley, on a tour of inspection a little while later, discovered that he had missed one particularly bad closet. It was literally filled with spider webs. She grabbed the unfortunate Mr. Lince by the ear and marched him back. Asked what he thought of it, he gazed calmly at the mass of webs for a moment and, looking Miss Longley squarely in the eye, said, "By golly, those things sure do work fast!' POLITICS President Roosevelt is admittedly one of our most liberal presidents. In fact he is so liberal that he has smashed most of the precedents established by former chief executives. He is the first one to mix in state primaries to such an extent. The only other one who even remotely approached Mr. Roosevelt's record was Wilson. F. D. R. says that he would have no objection to the election of a Republican if he were a liberal, h')t we advise the Republican from South Carolina not to set too much store by this. INCREASE The registrar's office reports this year that the fall registration is higher than since 1926. The fact is that thev facilities of WWC are becoming sadly overstrained. If you don't believe this just come to one of the regular assemblies. There are now about a score of students who are unable to have seats. The same condition prevails in many of the class rooms. When the projected new auditorium is built this situation will be taken care of, at least so far as the assemblies are f, concerned. In the meantime, however, if there are no seats available for cute (and petite) freshmen girls, we should be glad to hold one.of them on bur lap. SAFETY ...Comes the welcome news that thus far this year there have been 30 per cent fewer automobile accidents than for a corresponding time last year. This is joyful news indeed. It shows that the combined efforts of all the safety councils and accident prevention agencies have really had some effect at last... It is interesting to note that statistics show that the average passenger car while touring carries 3J/£ persons. The person who is only half there is usually the driver. Tnie Japanese have really been pushing the poor Chinese around of late. They nave strengthened their forces on all fronts, consolidated their positions and have shoved back the enemy at several points. The fourreyed sun-god, Hirohito, seems to hare permanently lost his place on the front pages of the world's papers to Heir Hitler, in spite of aU his recent activities in saving China from the clutches of the Ctainese.' Entrgaice rixams Show Ratings Of New Students Dr. Paul R. Grim Grim Earns Degree In Education After receiving his degree of doctor of philosophy in education from Ohio State University, Paul R. Grim of, the campus junior high school, has returned to WWC as Dr. Paul R. Grim. The subject of Dr. Grim's dissertation was, "A Technique for Evaluating Attitudes in the Social Studies." When asked how it felt to be a doctor Dr. Grim replied, "I have some trouble feeling any different with the degree than without it although it is some comfort to know I do not have to attend any more summer schools and can now devote my full time to teaching and to research work which I feel is very important." Dr. Grim spent four weeks in school this summer to complete his dissertation and examinations in order to receive his doctor's degree. Previous to this time Dr. Grim had spent ten consecutive years at Ohio State university. Went With Wife Dr. and Mrs. Grim went to Columbus, Ohio, with Miss Rupert, who served six weeks on the Ohio State College faculty staff, and he said, "We were in such a hurry to get there that we didn't have much time to see as much of the country as we wanted, but on our return trip we spent a day in Salt Lake City where we had the pleasure of swimming in the. Great Salt Lake and were surprised to find that a persn could swim in any angle from a sitting position to flat on your back and still have two-thirds of his body out of the water. We also visited Temple Square where we had the opportunity to hear an organ concert in the Mormon tabernacle." ' "We then continued on to the Pacific Northwest and it looked very good' to us and we were very happy to get home to WWC," concluded Dr. Grim. o Daley, Soukup Pick sun Staff By Dr. Kuder The achievement tests, required of all entering students, have been completed for the fall. The tests %are so planned as to show any existing deficiencies in the subjects tested. The music test is used as a means of classifying students in their subsequent music work. All other achievement tests must be passed satisfactorily before the student is eligible for work in the Training school./ In arithmetic and spelling, three retests are permitted to those who fail to pass the initial test. If, after the third retest, the student is not yet marked "clear," . it should be interpreted as meaning that there is no possibility of that student taking practice teaching in this institution. Suggestions for remedial work can be had from the Bureau of Research. Students should plan their work so as to remove any test deficiencies during their first three quarters of residence. Penmanship Important Students who fail to pass the penmanship test are required to take and pass Handwriting 1, Remedial Handwriting, before they • may be marked "clear" in penmanship. Likewise, no retests are permitted in English Usage but students deficient in that line must earn a passing grade in English 3, English Fundamentals. This course is definitely not "bonehead" English but is a course on the college level, for which credit is given. Many students take English 3 voluntarily. It is the belief of the administration that no teacher should be graduated who is deficient in the use of the simple processes of arith- Hobby Club Added For Interest Training School Plans System Proved Satisfactory For Junior High Hobby Clubs (Continued on Page Three) Feeling that hobby clubs should again be added to the Junior high curriculum students of WWC are requested to leave the name of their favorite hobby or hobbies in the office of the Director of the Training school. It is hoped by this means to get a direct line on the hobbies the students themselves are interested in. Hobbies were dropped from the junior high schedule last year because of the lack of an instructor. Mr. Ruckmick, who was in charge of the industrial arts clubs, was forded to give them up because of an additional course in ninth grade training. Clubs that formerly existed in the junior high were: stamp, airplane, sewing, clay, science, typewriting, tumbling, and rhythm clubs. Use New System In the event that hobby clubs are again formed in the" junior high school, they will follow a system similar to that used in South Pasadena high school. In the California institution hobby clubs were found to function most satisfactorily when they were built around the hobby of the leader. This was because of the fact that people teach best what they know best. Clubs are formed around student leaders' interests and each leader is held responsible for having or developing an interest that will attract boys and girls of junior high level. No club is a fixed part of the school program. It continues as long as there is sufficient pupil interest to warrant it or until the sponsor develops a new hobby which he wishes to try out with the pupils. Viking In Error A rare thing has happened. The Viking has erred. Belying on the integrity of the PE bulletin, a usually reliable source, the Viking printed the schedule of recreational swimming as it was found on said bulletin. The point is that it was last year's schedule. Since Friday's *Viking the PE department has come up to date and so the Viking comes up to date, with due apologies, o print the latest accurate schedule below: Monday .Women 4:00-5:30 Tues., Men and wom...7:30-8:45 Wednesday^ .Men 4:00-5:30 Faculty 7:30-8:45 Thursday Wom«n..4:00-5:30 Friday Men 4:00-5:30 Suits will not be issued after 5 o'clock in the afternoon and after 8:25 in the evening. o Sophs Postpone Voting During Stormy Session Hill Officially Appointad^EHitor By Board of Control; Molenkarrip New Secretary Tony Marries Witch Hunt Less Than Sixty Attend Meet; Decide to Hold Election After Assembly Klips Overwhelmed by some forty-five applicants for position on the 1938- 9 annual, Frances Daley and Clarence Soukup, editor and business manager of the Klipsun, respectively, went into a huddle and after several hours' deliberation selected the staff that will carry the year book to completion.

It need not be a weekly feature but printed whenever someone writes some worthwhile entertainment. It wouldn't be more than" 500 words long, and maybe an illustration could accompany it.

When In Debt A debtor had just received a bill with the usual "must remit" request and explained that, through a miracle he was able to pay the bill and made the following comments: My Dear Sirs: In reply to your request to send a check, I wish to inform you that the present condition of my bank account makes it almost impossible. My shattered financial condition is due to Federal laws, Corporation laws, Liquor laws, Mother-in-laws, Father-in-laws, Brother-in-laws, Sister-in-Laws, and Outlaws. Through these laws I am compelled to pay a business tax, head tax, amusement tax, school tax, income tax, furniture tax, excise tax, food tax, and carpet tax. Even my brains are taxed. I am compelled to get a business license, car license, truck license, hunting and fishing license, not to mention a marriage license and a dog license. I am also required to contribute to every society and organization which the genius of man is capable of bringing to life: a womans relief, the unemployed relief, the gold digger's relief. Also to every hospital and charitable institution in the city, in- . eluding the Red Cross, the White Cross, the Black Cross, the Purple Cross and the Double Cross. For my own safety I am required to carry life insurance, property insurance, liability insurance, burglar insurance, accident insurance, business insurance, earthquake insurance, tornado insurance, unemployment, old age, and fire insurance. My business is so governed that it is no easy matter to find out who owns it. I am inspected, expected, suspected, disrespected, rejected, dejected, examined, reexamined, informed, summoned, commanded, fined and compelled until I provide an inexhaustible supply of money for every known need of the human race. Simply because I refused to donate to something or other I am boycotted, talked about, lied about, held up, held down, and robbed until I am almost ruined. I can tell you honestly that except for the miracle that happened, I could not enclose the check—but the wolf that comes to many door now-a-days just had pups in my kitchen. I sold them and here is the money. Yours faithfully, JOHN DOE.

Of course the Vikings' 18 to 6 win two years ago is no yardstick by which the two teams can be measured for the coming battle but Coach Al Cox has always had a strong aggregation and the gridiron fans predict a tough battle. According to Coach Lappenbusch, the Wolves will be using a deceptive offense formation, placing the two halfbacks directly behind the center. With this formation the Oregon boys will be able to pull some of the tricky plays that a few weeks ago defeated the army team from Vancouver, 19 to 0. On the Viking side of the fence, the starting lineup will be the same as for the St. Martins game. Jim Hall, a sub who played a good brand of ball against St. Martins, received a broken nose in the game and may not get in the Oregon game. Outside of a broken nose and a few bruises, the Vikings came through the game unscathed. "The Wolves are plenty good," states Coach Lappenbusch, and we have to play better ball against them than we did against St. Martins. Not that the boys didn't play good ball against tne Rangers but they needed experience and they received plenty during the game." According to information from the Wolves lair, the boys to watch are Stan Borden, half, and Glen Peterson, end, stars from Olyinpia high school. Coach Al Cox has eight let-termen back this year, four back-field and four linemen. Around this nucleus Cox has moulded a powerful grid machine. —o High School Gets New Sport Field With a complete new athletic field which surrounds their building, the Bellingham high Red Raiders tennis and track squads should have every opportunity to do their best this spring. The track facilities will be the best that any school in the state will have to offer. There will be a half mile track, several pole vaulting and jumping pits, and also very good discus, shot-put, and javelin ranges. Located in the rear of the building are to be six tennis courts, and several soft-ball diamonds and horse shoe pits. Mr. Rutherford, the superintendent of the job, says that, weather permitting, the complete job will be finished in time for spring sports. CAMPUS CORDS MAN OF THE WEEK With the WAA By Marian Clarke From the looks of eagerness and absorbing enthusiasm on the countenances of our WAA neophytes, we are going to have one big, mighty organization this year. One hundred sixty-six initiates solemnly vowed to recognize and uphold the constitution of the association, and received their certificates of membership at the WAA initiation tea, Tuesday. "Come one, come all—in body, in spirit, in fun, and in gym suit to the 4 o'clock turnouts on the field. During these crisp autumn days when iFisn't'tob" cold, you'll enjoy a good, rousing game of hockey or volleyball, and won't it be fun to play on your own class or house team? Pear not the surroundings nor the harassed looks of the upper-classmen— just show them you're a good sport and the friendships you form will be many and valuable. Mermaids, were you one o f__t ne twenty who"took'their"first opportunity to display their aquatic ability this week?

Initiates took the pledge and signed the membership scroll. Members of the cabinet served tea during the program that followed. A fortune teller predicted events on the WAA calendar for the coming year. Marion Peters, accompanied by Frances Wood, played a violin solo, Fritz Kriesler's "Old Refrain." The Edens hall trio—Mary Stephens, Jean Crawford and Marian Jones sang "Remember" from Alexander's Ragtime Band" and "Sweet Sue." Emphasizing the Roundup on October 13, Maribeth Siebel spoke of the social events planned for this season followed by Isabel Fisher who urged every girl to participate in the athletic turnouts. Miss Evelyn Rupert welcomed new members and introduced to them Miss Ruth Weythman, who congratulated the cabinet on their early and efficient planning of the year's events. Repulsed at the line of scrimmage by a massive St. Martin's line, the WWC Vikings took to the air in two elusive lightning-like thrusts early in the third period of their first game of the season at Battersby field Friday night to eke out a 6-to- 3 victory over the fighting Rangers. Upwards of 1600 fans saw thje Vikings' air raid, which netted them 54 yards for a winning touchdown in the first three minutes of the third quarter. Until the third quarter the Rangers had the game, and for a field goal kicked by Bob Robinson from the 14-yard line looked like pay dirt with the score, 3-to-0. Passes ;Save Game Tisdale's rifle-like arm shot a 20- yard bullet pass to Bell for a first down on the Rangers' 30. Then fading back again he fired another to Chorvat, who was dropped on the 1-yard stripe, from where Jones then smashed over guard for a touchdown. Robinson did an exceptionally fine job in kicking the pigskin for the Rangers, while Valentine returned punts with elusiveness that left many a Viking gridster with his nose in the dirt after making a dive at Valentine's feet.

No taxpayer would willfully deny the students of Whatcom junior high better lighting facilities than the ones shown in their present mechanical drawing room. These plus many other conditions need rectifying. Every registered voter in Bellingham can assist this program. VOTE 'Y'ES" DECEMBER 6 Vote "Yes" In Coming December City Election oditrtial VOTE "YES" DECEMBER 6. Vote "yes" to the special 20 mill levy proposition whicn is so badly needed to finance a program of rehabilitation for Bellingham's deteriorating public schools. If this levy is to gcr-into effect it requires the support of 40 per cent of the voters who voted in the last gubernatorial election. This levy, which is being publicized through a campaign organized by education and parent groups as well as-being supported by many of Bellingham's civic associations, will raise $407,000 for planned improvements on playgrounds, redecoration, sanitation, fighting, and elimination of hazardous construction. Economically speaking, the value of city schools, if conservatively estimated, is three and one-quarter million dollars. In the past ten years an average of only $13,- 000 a year has been available for maintenance. Such dis-proportions speak loudly of the needed support for this special levy. There can be no honest opposition to this special levy in the December 6 election by a well informed, intelligent voter. Certainly a basis for the security £ gt;f collective world peace is an all-out total war against illiteracy. Such a war must be waged everywhere on this earth and with every means at our disposal. One mehod is at our disposal —VOTE "YES" DECEMBER 6. Battersby field is scheduled as one of the major improvements contemplated. Poles will be moved outside of the fence and more lights will be added to provide sufficient intensity. It is possible that a revision of dressing ipoms can also be accomplished. Bellingham recently was the object of statewide attention of the matter of student brawling as a consequence (Continued on Page Tiro) Ex-College Dramatist Stilt Packs House In East Production Glenn W.

Burgess is a past student of WWC where he played major leads in "The Corn is Green" and 'Dear Ruth." He was a member of the WWC Collegian and Klipsun staffs. While in the army, Burgess served in the entertainment division which produced camp plays for the hospitals. *fc Dateline Wednesday Noon, November 26 to Monday morning, December I— Be thankful that you have something to be thankful for.

Students Can Assist "Sixteen public schools of Bellingham, plus Battersby field, are badly in need of improvements. We urge voting students of WWC to vote on the special 20 mill tax levy on December 6," said Dr. Alan Ross during an interview this week. Reports from school authorities have shown that over 100 rooms in the schools are inadequately lighted, sanitary .conditions are not up to par, and that interior decorating is needed, some rooms not having been painted in the past ten years. The reports also indicated that audiovisual aids are needed in all schools to assist instructors in carrying on their work. "A large measure of public support has been obtained for the levy through the efforts of lay-leaders in the town. Students of education may view with interest the efforts of the citizens of Bellingham' to improve their schools," further commented Dr. Ross. A special 20 mill tax levy, in effect one year, could. raise the amount necessary to bring the buildings and equipment up to par. A three-fifths majority is required to vote this issue in. Among improvements in line are the removal of the light poles from inside the fence in Battersby field, and the addition of more cluster lights for night activities. Bellingham high school would get new tennis courts. Roofing, decorating, p l a y g r o u n d improvements, and plumbing additions would also be accomplished with the money, according to an expense account which has ben drawn up by the school authorities. All schools in district 501 would benefit from this levy, and material, labor and contracting would be drawn from this area inso far as it is possible to do so. Building Funds Reappropriated Announce College Trustees Construction plans for the future picked up a new emphasis this week when information was released by the Board of Trustees that over $1,100,- 000 has been especially earmarked for immediate construction of two new units on the campus of Western Washington college. The disclosure, announced following the joint meeting of the Board of Trustees of Washington's three education colleges in Seattle, reveals that work will start as soon as spring, weather permits on an industrial arts and art building, and an auditorium and music building. The two buildings, designed to fit into the existing pattern of mod-' ified Romanesque architecture, will contain all of the modern features embodied in any west coast education building, according to Bebb and Jones, architects of Seattle. Master Location Dr. W. W. Haggard's master plan of the campus places the location of the proposed Industrial Arts building immediately west and directly northeast of the existing campus school. Work will begin on the central wing of this structure which will house ths basic requirements of the courses offered pending completion of the building. Courts Removal "The existing tennis courts will be moved to a position behind the gymnasium," said Dr. Haggard, "to make room for the music building and auditorium. However, it is hoped that new courts can be constructed before the regular tennis season opens." Adjacent property on both sides of the present tennis courts will be purchased to insure room for expansion. A student union building near the auditorium is included in the long range agenda. Contracts Not Let Contracts have not been let for the construction but it is hoped the buildings will be ready for occupancy in the early part of 1950. Odegard Calls For Modern Diplomacy To Safeguard Peace IRC club members told of a successful conference held at UBC Nov. 21-22, on their return to the campus Saturday night. High point of the two day meeting was the address of Dr. Peter Odegard, president of Reed college, Portland, Ore., who spoke on the new trends of modern diplomacy. "ModeVn diplomacy," said Odegard, "should generate light, not heat!" He outlined a program of news dissemination, exchange of students, education of the mass of world illiterates,- and a diplomacy based on truth, as necessary prerequisites leading to world peace. Other features of the conference were round-table discussions, election of officers, and selection of a host college for next year's conference. This honor was delegated to Parragut Institute. Intelligence Officer Makes Appearance Rear Admiral Ellis M". Zacharias, author of "Secret Missions," the story of an Intelligence officer, will make his appearance here December 5, in the scheduled artist and lecture series. With a background of a quarter of a century of naval intelligence work, Mr. Zacharias is eminently qualified for the important psychological warfare work in which he was engaged during the closing phases of the war. He has completed over 38 years in the U. S. Naval service since his entry in the Naval academy in 1908. He has served on and operated with all types of ships. During the war he commanded the heavy cruiser Salt Lake City. BAND ROTATION INSURES MUSIC FOR HOME GAMES In order to have the band present at every home basketball game and still not tire the members, the Viking band has been split into two sections. One section will play one week and the next-section will perform the following week. The sections have been divided in such a way as to have equal representation in every section of the band. Each band has an approximate strength of about twenty- seven members. Fall Production "Tooth Revue" Ready To Open There is a buoyant optimism a b o u t Wilder's play "Skin of our Teeth." Mr. Wilder believes we will survive and that's a cheerful note in the midst of the atomic gloom. This unusual comedy opens next week at the Campus School Theatre for a run of three nights, beginning on Thursday and closing Saturday evening. For many of the audience, it will seem a queejr experience, for crazy things happen in this show. But once the spectator understands what the author is up to, he will find method in the madness of the action. Disregarding the time factor, Wilder amusingly and whimsically imagines the ice age descending on Excelsior, New Jersey, in the summer of 1942. The Antrobus family (all of us good people) face extinction. It's a queer group that gathers in the Antrobus home, huddling about the last fire on earth. It includes a dinosaur and a mammoth as well as Doc Einstein, Judge Moses and Poet Homer. For good measure, (Continued on Page Two) Quartet Sings For YWCA Jubilee WWCs college quartet appeared Wednesday evening, November 19, at the high school auditorium for the YWCA jubilee.

While this affair was blown up out of proportion nevertheless it must be recongnized that better facilities could possibly have averted the unfortunate incident. v Bellingham college students can do much to support and arouse public interest in this coming levy* election. As a result of a student poll of Bellingham citizens it was disclosed that they felt that the college mus-t take a more active interest in community affairs if we could honestly ask them to support our programs. The intensified interest in WWC this year commands our respect and reciprocal action. The WWCollegian urges the student body, the Board of Control, and the Music department to devise means to publicly advertise the coming levy ballot- . ing. Individual students can contribute by "word of mouth" advertising. Urge.your parents, friends, chance acquaintances, or the man on the street to VOTE "YES" DECEMBER 6. Remember 40 per cent of the people that voted in the last gubernatorial election must answer this call on a start of rejuvenation of public schools.

Psych Teacher Has Enjoyed Active Career George W. Hohl, psychology and child development instructor, newly arrived at WWC, has already had a busy and active career in teaching both in civilian life and in the army. Hohl attended Drake University as an undergraduate, receiving the B. S. degree in education from that institution. He first began teaching in 1934 in a consolidated school in North Dakota. In 1938 Hohl received the Masters degree in education from Northwestern University. He taught in high school in Sioux Falls. North Dakota; elementary, ' junior high and senior high schools in Des Moines, Iowa, and then served as principal of an elementary school in that same city. Recognition Teacher "Then I went to the army," said Hohl with a grin. He taught navigation and recognition in the air corps, and then went to Korea as a member of a military government team. Following his discharge from the army, Hohl completed a year's work at the University of Chicago as a research assistant in their field service program. He worked as a consultant to child study groups from cities in the East and South. Has Children 'I am married and we have two baby girls, one six months old and the other 21 months," said Hohl, smiling proudly. When asked if his daughters were going to become school teachers, he chuckled and replied "that is a leading question." Hohl came to WWC in September. "We had seen this country before," he mentioned, "and I think we liked it from the first." The Hohl family is at present residing at 2508 Valette street in Bellingham. lantic City for a hilarious convention of the mammals of the world. There Antrobus, dazzled by the model of the year, Lily Fairweather, almost deserts Mrs. Antrobus and the kids, but all ends in the deluge and the Noah's Ark escape to a New Era. People who like their entertainment a trifle cock-eyed will be diverted by the animals, the unusual scrambling of the chronology and by the bizarre 'Hellzapoppin'" se-' quences. But the show strangely makes sense and the last act is as up-to-date as atomic energy. For the last great crisis is war! The idea of war and peace as developed in the third act of the comedy, vitally concerns us all. Letters To The Editor Clocks Watches Jewelry Ralph A.Lindquist Watchmaker 214 W.

Also there are many factors involved which we believe should be pointed out to your readers. If you are to publish a show criticism, we might suggest that you assign the analysis to someone who is competent. It is obvious that Miss Schive is incapable of comprehending the satire and humor of the "New Era." She confuses the issue. The show was not nearly as confused (as she stated) as evidently was Miss Shive. She failed to get the subtle humor of Bill Wilder in his education class. Nothing of what was stated in her article was basic or constructive. We'd say she missed the point completely. Any lack of dignity in the cor-nation ceremonies was due to an unforseen upset in plans only a few minutes before the actual ceremony took place. We sincerely appreciate constructive criticism. There is, however, little value in unjust or unvalid criticism. Thank you and v e r y sincerely yours, Phyllis Armstrong Jay Lapp LETTER TO THE EDITOR Tolo dances have been a matter of discussion among the students for some time. Therefore, we would like to clarify the meaning of the word before the Associated Women Student's formal tolo to be held Friday evening, December 5. As members of the A.W.S., we feel that since the dance is sponsored by the women, since the women are the hostesses for the evening, they should ask the men, just as they would do to a private party given in their own homes. Previously, tolo dances have been merely a matter of the girls buying the ticket and asking a man for a date. This procedure, however, is erroneous according to the original meaning of the word tolo. The girl's duties at a tolo affair are very specific. She should ask DOWNTOWN HEADQUARTERS For WWC Students Fountain, Food, Drink HARDWICK'S Where Friends Meet and Eat Box of FINE CHOCOLATES By Canterbury and Brown Haley 1.10 to 7.50 Your Friendly STAR Drug Co. Corner State and HoUy Phone 224 ic LETTER TO THE EDITOR The music recital last Friday may or may not be rated as a regular assembly, but I certainly think it rated a notice in the official bulletin. After seeing the program in the Collegian, I for one was plenty disappointed in missing it. With more than one professional musician in this recital, this alone would have made up for any of the lesser talented students participating, yet I'm sure that those that might not care for classical music would appreciate this type of music when they know the performer. I realize that there are two sides to the question and the entire student body might bother a few of the performers, yet I can't see how a few more would have made such difference since I was told the auditorium was far from empty. I just hope that when such a program is offered again it will be similar to that given last Friday and if it isn't offered to the students it will be kept out of the paper so we'll not know what we missed. A Disapointed Music Lover a date, buy the dance ticket, furnish or make arrangements for transportation to and from the dance, and pay additional expenses during the evening. If the girl does not have access to a car and the man agrees to furnish his, t he girl should buy the gas. A corsage to the girl on formal affairs should be furnished by the man. This is merely a gesture of courtesy and is not obligatory. The correct attire for the AWS Tolo. December 5 will be formal dresses for the women and dark business suits for the men.

To the very young it means 'over the hill and through the wood, to grandmother's house we go.' It means getting out last year's cardboard Pilgrim costume for the grade school skit. To teen-agers and the college set, it means that all-important football game of the year, where mums, hearty appetites and lusty voices are the rule for the day. To the middle-aged group, it means a family gathering, with all members present. For the women/ it is a . day to exchange favorite recipes and to relate little Junior's latest escapade. The men-folks have heated discussions concerning the Taft-Hartley labor bill and the primary election. To the old folks it is a memory of other Thanksgivings and the joy of having their children's children at the old homestead. To everyone, the nation over, it is a time of happiness in the knowledge that over here all is plentiful and merciful. There are no breadlines, no court edicts. Over there, no one is trying to bend others to his will, no one is bullying the common man. Over here, the spirit of the first Thanksgiving is still reflected in the afternoon church assemblies and prayers. The Pilgrims had to walk miles with guns on their shoulders to give thanks to their Creator. Today, Mr. John Public has only to walk to the neighborly church on the corner, to pray to the same God. Thanksgiving is as its name implies, a day of thanksgiving, of happiness, and of good-will.

Felcia Fogman, a sophomore at WWC, crossed the first stepping stone to becoming Guest Editor for Mademoiselle magazine in New York next summer. Last week she was accepted by letter as a college board member of Mademoiselle. Sitting amidst magazines with information about New York and backed by a map of New York City and a water color of Manahattan island tacked to the wall' of her room at Edens hall, tawny-haired Miss Fogman explained the requirements of the contest she had entered. In order to compete she had to be attending an accredited college and be available to work during the month of June, 1948, in MLLE'S New York offices, helping put out the August college issue. Madmoiselle magazine states, "If you make the Board, you fulfill three MLLE'S assignments throughout the school year (cash prizes awarded), submit extra feature ideas . . . and have a chance of being picked as a delegate to MLLE'S annual college forum . . . If you end up one of the top twenty members, you end up as a guest editor in MLLE'S New York office for the month of June, 1948, get a chance to contribute to a professional magazine while you're still an undergraduate . . . " While Miss Fogman attended North Kitsap high school she wrote fashions for their paper and her senior year she was Fashion editor. •'I often use to wonder if I ever would be doing something like that professionally," she mused. She also held the position of Annual editor her senior year and last year Miss Fogman attended Central Washington College of Education at Ellens-burg.

Quintet Douses Vikings In Opener There was a crowd of overflow proportions to greet the Huskies and Vikings in their curtain opener on Friday. Washington pulled their set offense NEW LOOK out of their bag of tricks to win by 69-32. If the loss had to be pinned down to any one factor it would have to be out and out superiority! The Purple and Gold showed height, speed, and accuracy over the Norse. The game started close. For the first five minutes the Huskies were held to an 8-6 score, but then the fireworks started. Their set plays worked with the timing of a clock. Time All Opposition Team Picked By Lappy after time they would set up a play with a pass to Jack Nichols, their all coast center. ..From this play Nichols has three choices. He can pass to the man breaking for the basket, pass back out, or shoot himself. This was one of the NEW LOOKS that seemed to work for coach McLarney. He also used variations of this. Everybody Plays Coach McLarney used his 18 men to full advantage. Every man got into the game. Local fans were especially glad to see Hal Arnason a Bellingham boy, make five points for the Huskies. Western's blue and white had a bright Starr or two in the game also. Jerry was high scorer for the evening with twelve points. Tom Green, the letterman guard, played a fine offensive game, too. These two boys accounted for 22 of the Viks 32 points. Green made the longest shot of the game, a one handed, from the middle of the floor just two seconds before the end of the first haif. Viks Had Lots of Fight The Vikings didn't look like a world beater, but they did show some promise. They had the fight and spirit right up to the final buzzer, and with a little more polish they will give a good account of themselves. Mitch Kink, Hugh Ryan, and Connie Henderson looked especially good. After Thanksgiving the Viks start on a tough schedule. The first game in December is against Seattle College here on the 9th.

As might be expected after seeing the Eastern game, Rip Raapana was favored to fill the quarterback position. Raapana obliterated all hopes of the Viks for victory by making Eastern's only touchdown of the game, kicking the point, and adding the field goal that spelled doom for the Viks. Vern Tucker of Whitworth was nominated to one. of the halfback posts while Maurice Woods of Puget Sound very capably holds down the other. Tucker was the strongest threat thrown up by Whitworth in their 41-0 loss to WW. Also favored n the fullback position is Neil Bartlett of Central. Pacific Lutheran stakes claim to the player slated to hold the fullback honors. Jack Guyot takes preference for this position. Cannonball Places North Idaho turned out one of the fastest ends in the state in Rollie McNair, the 6 ft. 3 in. 200-lb- "cannonball" who also captains the team. Possibly for a toss-up at the other end position would be Carl Nagel of Eastern and Frank Andrews of Pacific Lutheran. Both of the boys show plenty of fight and fire on the ball field. An all-state tackle from Puget Sound, Bill Ko-walski gets first crack at that position while the other side is balanced with Don Osgood of Central. Puget HURLEY'S DRUG MART Elmo T.

Nov. 20 was a day of rejoicing for the Hoboes as they came through in a thriller with the "A" Bombers, result 31-30. It seems as though Thursday was an afternoon of close ones, The Unknowns came through in the last few minutes to defeat the Southerners 42-40. The Lost Ten seemed to enjoy the casaba sport Friday, when they defeated the .Collegians in another last minute upset 33-31/ Mathes House differed from the usual trend and really walloped the Kilroy Comets in a decision that was unquestionable, 30-15. All teams are looking forward to Nov. 24, which will mark halftime in the intramural contest, and give a hint as to who will take final glory. Sound is also rated in the guard spot with Dick Carlson but shares honors with Eastern in Don Rosbeck at the opposite position. More than holding down the center spot would be Pacific Lutheran's famous "hunk of man" Don D'Andrea. Well Matched Team With a team like this matched together and out for a victory tally, to be thrown out for either defensive or offensive playing to even some heavy opposition would have slow down such a squad. by peters Before a turnaway crowd, the Western Vikings stumbled on their debut into the '47 basketball season. They were completely overwhelmed as the Huskies more than doubled their score . . . 32-69. Those boys from the U. had an almost inpenetratable defensive and a good strong offensive. And talk about height! They really had it! Nineteen out of twenty-five of them were six feet or over. One was 6 feet, 7, and a couple were 6 feet, 6. The rest of the squad ranged on down to one person who could only stretch 5 feet, 8 inches. As for the Viks, they have eight men who are 6 feet or over, and eleven who are under. Making up for this deficit, Bill McDonald has plenty of speed—a considerable amount of it resting in such veterans as Tom Green, Seattle; Pinky Erickson, Marysville, and Hugh Ryan, the boy from Vancouver, B. C. Some of the speedy newcomers to the squad are: Stan Peterson, Poulsbo; Jerry Starr, Arlington, and Dare Ovenell of Burlington. N * The Blue and White squad will lie low for about two weeks before they tangle zvith the Seattle college quintet on the home courts. Mac will probably give his' ball flayers a good work-out now that he knows hozv they look under heavy pressure. A QUICK GLANCE BACK on the grid season shows that Dr. Lapp was well pleased with the time spent on football and the way his ball club performed. .."It was a good season, but, of course, it would have been nice to have placed first." The injuries were not overwhelming, although there were more this year than last. Also more players put in more sweater time in this than any preceeding season. And they played better than the squad did last year. About his lineup, Coach Lappenbusch had one beef— he never could get a set starting lineup. All season he kept switching— but no luck. Before each game he would be satisfied with his lineup and then the next he would junk it. Deep respect was paid four members of Dr. Lapp's 1947 Viking football aggregation this week when an A.P. dispatch from Tacoma revealed that their choice of an all-Winco team included the names of Jerry Salsgiver, guard, and Art Svidran, back. Honorable mention went to versatile glue-fingered Hal Partlow, end, and to Jack Frazier fotf his work in the center slot.

BENJAMIN HEADS SUMMER CONFERENCE JalkinC Qt UOei . . with bob dickson ANOTHER summer has rolled around, and once again we extend a hearty welcome to all of you. It's good to have you back, and we hope that from pursuit of your studies you'll take some time out for fun. AN EXTENSIVE recreation program has been planned especially for you. So relax once in awhile. Participate in the hikes, the tours, the cruises, and when the summer is over and you return to your schools, you'll feel that you've had a restful and profitable vacation. SPEAKING of recreation, those of you interested in fresh water fishing should try your luck at Lake Whatcom or Samish. There have been some excellent catches of silvers and cutthroats taken at both places in the past few weeks. SALT WATER enthusiasts will find plenty of sport at Point Lawrence, Hale's Pass, and numei-ous other nearby places. IP YOU enjoy Sinclair Lewis, don't miss KINGSBLOOD ROYAL. It is leisure-time reading, and it should provoke many a lengthy discussion. PET PEEVES: Sunday papers printed on Wednesday and sold on Saturday night . . . Service station attendants who clean your windshield with an oily mixture which smears when you turn on the windshield wipers. SOMETIME when you are browsing through the library take a look at Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Here is one of his gems, "Men exist for the saJte of one another. Teach them then or bear with them." INCIDENTALLY, the next time you're in the periodical room reading the home town paper, take ten minutes off and look over a copy of The United Nations Bulletin. If the average reader would spend as much time reading this as he does the sports page, there would be a lot less frustrated gnashing of teeth, and a lot more careful study of the present world problems. Board Approves New Library Lighting Fixtures - Approval of florescent lighting-fixtures for ten of the tables in the main reading room of the library was granted at the Wednesday night meeting of the Board of Trustees. The fixtures, similar to the one which has been on trial use for the past few months, were recommended by John P. Jones, architect, and have proven to be highly satisfactory. In addition to the above, the board authorized the wiring of all the tables in the main reading room, and approved of cove lighting for the book shelves. • Paving of the parking lot south to the main building was assured, and the bids will be let in the near future. In another important move, the board received a petition, signed by more than 50 per cent of the property owners, to widen High street between Cedar and Oak streets. The petition asks that the street be wid- (Continued on Page Four) Noted Pianist Entertains Large, | lt;ucJer Elevated Appreciative Audience Here Dr. Merle S. Kuder will be promoted to director of student personnel in September, Dr.- W. W. Haggard disclosed recently. Pilling the vacancy as registrar, will be Mr. Donald Ferris, dean of Mount Vernon Junior College for the past four years. Mr. Ferris, a Phi Beta Kappa, is a graduate of the University of Washington. In addition, he has completed the course requirements for a doctrate degree and is studying this summer at Columbia University. As director of student personnel, Dr. Kuder's work will be closely related to the registrar but will be broader in scope. No Paper Next Week The WWCollegian will not be published next week! For the first time in several years, our printers. Cox Brothers, Printers, are taking a well earned vacation. The next issue of the Collegian will appear July 11. JAN CHERNIAVSKY With over two million miles traveling' distance to his credit, the world famed pianist Jan Cherniav-sky opened the summer quarter at WWCE with a piano solo program. Mr. Cherviavsky has been playing the piano for 47 years, ever since he was seven years old. This famous man, with his two brothers, was given the name of the "Globe Trotter," and together they were known as the Globe Trotting Trie, "I have lived in trains and boats for many years," Mr. Cherniavsky remarked, his halo of white hair clouded by the smoke from his- black pipe, "I have been to Australia ten different times, five times to India, China, and Java." Mr. Cherniavsky played h e re many years ago when the college consisted of just the main building. "The campus has grown up so very much. It is very different than the last time I was here. Now I am living in Vancouver, B. C, for my wife is a Canadian and my two children live there also. "My two brothers are separated now. One is in Australia and the other is in Paris. But for many years we played together." The program presented last (Tuesday, J u n e 24, was an "Organ Adagio" by Bach-Busoni, an organ "Prelude and Fugue in D Major" by Bach-Busoni, "Submerged Cathedral," and "Fireworks," by Debussy, and "Nocturne," "Valse" and "Scherzo" by Chopin. ^ Dateline . • June 28—Chuckanut Ridge Climb, 2 p.m. July 1—Assembly.

Hammer as director, the 8th Annual Summer Session Workshop opened Tuesday morning. The steering committee, consisting of representatives from the various groups, have planned an interesting program of discussions, trips, exhibits, and coffee hours. Seven problem areas have been selected, and from these the students pick the one in which they are especially interested. There are 83 enrolled for the workshop, and a breakdown of the problem areas, leaders, and number of students in each group follows: a. Guilding Learning Activities In Early Childhood. Miss Vivian -Johnson, Miss Evelyn Odom, and Miss Ruby McGinnes, leaders. (21) b. Resource Use Education. Mr. Knapman, leader. (5) , c. Improving Art Instruction. Mr. Dale Goss. leader. (16) d.

Registrar Lists Requirements For B- A.; 162 Hours Needed Note: For 1947-48, the system of numbering courses has been entirely revised. Numbers used below are those currently and therefore only temporarily in effect. 1. TOTAL CREDIT REQUIREMENT 192 quarter hours Of these, 64 must be upper division (100 or over) 2. LOWER DIVISION FIXED COURSE REQUIREMENTS: a. English 40, English Composition 5 hours b. English 41, Advanced Composition 3 hours c. Speech 1, Fundamentals of Speech 2 hours d. English, General Literature, three 3-hour courses 9 hours e. History 1 and 2, History of Civilization, 5 hours each, or ^ocial science (e.g., sociology, economics) 10 hours f. Science 1 and 2, Science and Civilization 10 hours g. Psychology 43, General Psychology 5 hours h. Physical Education 6 hours j . Art and Music 3 hours TOTAL REQUIREMENTS 53 hours Note: Students already enrolled in school, who have completed one or more years, will receive credit for any of these courses already taken. Considerable latitude in substituting will be allowed. 3. DIVISIONAL SPREAD: All courses are classified under three divisions of study: • a. The Social Sciences, such as history, political science, economics, psychology, etc. b. The Humanities, including English literature, music and art, foreign languages. c. Sciences, including mathematics. Students must present not less than 15 hours in each division. 4. FIELDS OF CONCENTRATION: These will be known as "majors" and "minors." Areas in which one may concentrate are as follows: English Biological Science Political Science Humanities Physical Science Sociology Recreation Mathematics Geography Arts Music Economics Psychology History Home Economics The departments involved will outline the requirements for the "major" and "minor" within these limitations: "Major": Minimum, 36 qtr. hrs. "Minor": Minimum, 18 qtr. hrs. Maximum, 64 qtr. hrs. Maximum, 36 qtr. hrs. Each candidate must present one "major" and one "minor". 5. SUPPORTING FIELDS: A department may require courses in other areas as supplementary to the "major", (e.g., 36 hours of psychology may have to be supported by certain specified courses in science and social science. A "major" in mathematics will undoubtedly require the support of courses in physics.) 6. FREE ELECTIVES: In order to insure the student considerable elective leeway, the maximum total requirement for a "major" and its supporting field shall not exceed 96 quarter hours. Note: With the exception of English Composition and physical education, the fixed courses requirements apply toward the divisional spread requirements. The specifications for "majors' and "minors" are expected to include fixed course requirements. It is to be understood that courses taken for divisional spread can apply on the "major" or "minor". Final decisions concerning each "major" and "minor" (in terms of specific courses and supporting fields) will not be made until mid-summer. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS POINT TO GIVE ANY STUDENT A COMPLETE CLEAR-CUT PICTURE OF HIS STATUS RELATIVE TO THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREES REQUIREMENTS, ANY MORE THAN A CHECK AGAINST THE ABOVE SPECIFICATIONS. I t is possible, however, for each student to determine his approximate status in respect to fixed course requirements and divisional spread. The Registrar's office will assist, insofar as time and personnel permit. When final decisions are made and thorough evaluations possible, students may be sure that the College will be reasonable in its interpretations and will do everything possible to enable students to fit into the programs wtihout penalty or loss of credit. M. S. KUDER, Registrar. Lecture Hall Ready Soon If the veterans on the campus think the new lecture hall (located next to the lounge) reminds them of days gone by, they will have a real surprise coming to them when they step inside. To be sure, the newly acquired building once wore the olive drab of Uncle Sam (it served with distic-tion at Paine Field); however, those days are over, and from now on it will serve as a lecture hall here at WWC. Work on adjusting the hall to civilian life has been progressing rapidly, and it is expected to be ready for use next week; Florescent lighting, and an easy-on-the-eyes cream and buff color scheme have been used throughout; while the floors are covered with a colorful endurable tile. All joking aside, the new lecture hall is a valuable and timely addition to our rapidly expanding college. Names Make News For Registrar Names make news and according to the Registrar's office names are still piling up confusion at WWCE. Already listed are 12 Johnsons. Johnson must be the most popular name in the United States, judging by the quantity this college raked in this summer. The places they come from are far and numerous. The seven Andersons listed are just as confusing. They hail from Pennsylvania to British Columbia as birth places. Then there are the Smiths. So far, five have been registered. . WWCE now has one Smith whose birth place is Saskatchewan, Canada, another from Wyoming, one from Utah, and two from Washington, t, This summer found the Clarks in a larger number than even the Smiths. There are six Clarks in one form or another wandering the halls. Bringing up the rear are the four Browns and the three Jones'. Whites seem to be missing from the list. Students in WWCE are in for surprises. There is no telling what you may see in the college on the hill. There, is everything from a Fox to a Lord running the summer gauntlet. Faculty Relaxes Enjoying a well-earned rest from class rooms are 14 members of the WWCE faculty. They are Edward Arntzen, Miss May Lovegren Bett-man, Mrs. Ruth Burnet, and San-ford Carver. Others are Miss Irene Eliott, Dr. Arthur Hicks, Thomas Hunt, Miss Florence . Kirkpatrick, Miss Synva Nicol, and Miss Ruth Piatt. Still others are Miss Hazel Plym-ton, Miss Lorraine Powers, Bernard Regier, Miss Elsie Wendling, and James O'Brien. Four faculty members have just returned from vacations. The college welcomes back Leslie Hunt, Miss Vivian Johnson, Charles Rice, and Dr. Albert Van Aver. FOR SPRING...

Although many veterans are reinstating their National Service Life Insurance, some are inadvertently allowing their G gt;. I. policies to lapse for a second time. To help ex-servicemen and women avoid such a second lapse, certain procedures pertaining to reinstatement were outlined today by W. A. Reaper, chief of Guidance Center. Reaper explained that a veteran reinstating his G. I. insurance may think mistakenly that his next payment is not due for a full month, whereas actually the premium may be due within a week or two, or even a day after his reinstatement payments are in the mail. This is for two reasons, Reaper pointed out. First, the veteran normally is covered the moment his reinstatement application, with accompanying comparative health statement and two monthly premium payments, is in the mail and postmarked; and second, the VA cannot change the original day of the month on which the policy was effective. For example, Reaper cited the case of a veteran who has lapsed a policy effective the first day of the month, and he sends in a* reinstatement application on the 15th. His payment goes to pay for the premium month beginning the first of the month. But half of the month is gone, and in fifteen days another premium will be due. In same cases, Reaper said, the premium might be due within one or two days. The veteran will be protected by the grace period if he makes his premium payment within 31 days, Reaper pointed out, but if he counts on his grace period to make his second payment a n d mistakenly thinks he has 30 days before his next premium is due and therefore 61 days before the end of the grace period he will lapse a second time. Reaper advises any veteran not sure of the day of the month his policy is effective to make all subsequent premium payments within every 30 days. Some veterans, he said, may even want to make a third payment in addition to the required two when reinstating to make sure their G. I. insurance will . not lapse a second time.

Thus spoke the June 16 issue of Life in an article on the Princeton graduates of 1932. One wonders how many more Americans enjoyed the war. How about the wives, mothers and families of our 300,000 war dead? Do you suppose they enjoyed it. Or the thousands of wounded and disabled veterans, did they enjoy it? How many people in England, Belgium, Holland, France, Poland, Norway, Russia, China, and the other war ravaged countries would say that they enjoyed the war? And maybe we should ask the residents of Coventry, Rotterdam, Warsaw, Lidice and Hiroshima just how much they enjoyed the war. Is it necessary for everyone to lose a leg, a family, a home, a city, or a country before they can realize the true horrors of war? Supposedly these Princeton men are, at the least, "average," intelligent, reasoning human beings; and yet they really enjoyed the war, then our educational as well as our social system must be at fault. We can't preach democracy out of one side of our mouth, and love of war out of the other. Let us hope that thees Princeton graduates are representative of a very small minority. It wasn't a Princeton man, but the German militarist Moltke who said, "In war, the noblest virtues flourish that otherwise w o u ld slumber and decay.

Mr. Ullin also demonstrated versatility by leading the community singing. Also appearing briefly on the program was Happy Fisher, veteran mountain guide, who will lead the Mt. Baker climb July 11. Mr. Fisher is attending WWC at present and will answer questions concerning the Mt. Baker and other climbs. Mr. Ullin used his own colored slides to vividly illustrate the entire summer program. Included in his lecture were slides of such famous scenic attractions as the panoramic views from the summits of Chucka-nut Ridge, Mt. Constitution and " Mt. Baker. There were many slides made during the summer cruises around the beautiful San Juan Islands, and of college picnics at Lakewood, Sinclair Island and The Rocks. From these slides, it is easy to anticipate a summer full of most enjoyable activities. The first of the summer activities will be a conditioning hike up Chuckanut Ridge tomorrow. The hike starts at 2 p. m. in front of the P. E. building. Rice Returns Charles Rice, instructor in the Industrial Arts department, has returned from a years leave of absence spent at Oregon State College studying for the doctorate degree.

Bill who wish to take accrued annual leave at the close of summer school must apply to the Veterans Administration at least 30 days in advance of the time school ends," according to a new ruling announced today by W. A. Reaper, chief of Guidance Center. "Subsistence allowances will be paid during the leave period," he said. Reaper ..explained . . t h a t .most schools holding summer classes split their sessions into two parts. "The 30-day rule," he said, "will apply whether the veteran quits school at the end of the first term or waits until the close of the final session to take leave." Leave is earned at the rate of two and one-half days a month. However, Reaper pointed out that time taken as leave by the veteran will be deducted from the total amount of his entitlement for training under the G. I. Bill. REV. THOMAS SPEAKS Speaking at WWCE next Tuesday at 9:45 in the college auditorium will be the Rev. J. Burton Thomas of the Holy Trinity Cathedral of New Westminster, Canada. Rev.

Coach McDonald Heads Hike; Weather Man Promises Sun "All those who plan to make the Mt. Baker climb should take the previous conditioning hikes, and be in good physical condition." stated Coach Clyde McDonald, chairman of the Summer Recreation Committee. "No unusual obstacles are expected, but mastery of Mt. Baker demands J stamina and conditioning, plus good equipment," McDonald added. "The school has equipment for rent or loan, but personal articles, such as sun-glasses, calked boots and other items of clothing must be furnished by each individual," he concluded. Tomorrow's hkie will begin at 2 p. m. in front of the P. E. building. It is hoped that enough people will bring cars to furnish transportation for all to Larrabee State Park, where the actual ascent begins. Those who plan to make the hike should have sun glasses (unless it is raining) caulked boots and other appropriate clothing, and a canteen of water or a few oranges. The hike will last until evening, so lunch may be in order. The first event in the summer calendar has several advantages. It is a short climb with a magnificent view to reward the hiker, and it is a must, from the standpoint of conditioning, for later hikes. The Recreation Committee directs your attention to the bulletin boards for details of the program. Faculty members of the committee include Miss Margaret Aitken, Miss Mildred Herrick, Clarence Schuske, Miss' Elizabeth Hopper, Fred Knapman, Miss Marjorie Muffly, Dr. Keith Murray, Declan Barron, Miss Ruth Weythman, Herbert Hearsey, Miss Anna Ullin, and Clyde McDonald, chairman. Any of these members of the committee will furnish information upon request. The first few events are as follows: June 28, Chuckanut Ridge climb; July 4, Church Mountain climb; also on July 4, a picnic at Lakewood; July 5, San Juan Island cruise; July 10, Salmon Bake at ^Larrabee State Park; July 11 to July 14, hike to Kulshan; Cabin and Mt. Baker climb. Reservations may be made for any of these activities in Mr. McDonald's "Lappy" Signs Up Softball Players . Preparations for a home and home softball series with the University of Washington during the summer quarter were under way this week with all interested men signing up on the bulletin board in the gym or with Coach Lappen-busch. Exact dates for the games have not been set as yet, but "Lappy" announced that he would like to make the trip south about the middle of this term* around July 11, and have the Husky squad on the home field the first part of the second term, around August 1. There is also a possibility that there will be a touch football game with the summer students at the U. later in the quarter if enough of the students are interested. All students interested in an intramural softball league, or other activities, either mixed or separate girls and boys teams, should notify Coach Lappenbusch who is willing to back the sports and will complete plans for an intramural program. office, in the main hall across from the president's office.

Football Title. VOL. XXXIII—NO. 5 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON earn Friday, October 28, 1938 By Charles Kilbourne ORCHIDS Well, our little scheme worked! At the last game, the Valkyries were a '"howling" success, If we do say so ourselves. At considerable risk to our person, we managed to make said club very irate. 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. RANDOM THOUGHTS WEA Regional Meet Brings Northwestern Teachers To Bellingham This Weekend Norsemen Elect Bob White Glub President r. Stanley Atwood, State School Superintendent, Gives Keynote Address in Today's Session; Out-of-State Speakers Present; Schools Have Holiday About 800 teachers of Whatcom, Skagit, and San Juan counties tare convening in Bellingham this week. The occasion is the combined annual convention of the Washington Educational association and the teachers* institute. With principal addresses in the auditorium and panel discussions in the various rooms, all meetings are taking place at Bellingham high school. Open sessions began yesterday with an invocation, musical selections by the Sedro-Woolley high school band, and an initial address by Mrs. Prances Reynolds, Vancouver, Washington, president of the WEA. Two prominent out-of-state speakers on the morning program were Dr. Ruth Alexander of Chicago and Dr. Rollo Reynolds, Columbia university. F. Stanley Atwood Speaks With J. A.~ Reeves, president of the Skagit Educational association, presiding, the second general session opened this morning. State Superintendent of Schools P. Stanley Atwood was keynote . speaker, followed by Nathan Eckstein, a member of the state planning council, in an address on the educational survey. 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. During the convention, city and county elementary and high school students are having a two-day vacation. 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.

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?

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.

In a book, "Practical Housekeeping" written and published long before 1880, is a rare tidbit that needs to be passed along. The first object of dress is to protect the body, second, to enhance and bring outits beauty.

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. What Is It?-— — Richardson Finds New Glaze Process Unlike any other glaze in the world, as far as known, is a new blue glaze for pottery developed by Miss Charlotte Richardson, instructor in the Industrial arts department. 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.

Holly Anxious are the mutterings from Ellensburg, apprehensive the supporters of Pacific Lutheran college, and worried frowns emanate from the stronghold of the Cheney Savage. 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.

WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, November 26, 1937 Live ^ and ^ Learn By Evan Hill THE REAL, McCOY Because newspapers consider it bad practice to print news that is old, this paper follows suit, and news that might be of possible interest to the average WWC student is not printed. ..Therefore the failure of the frosh in protecting their bonfire will be the subject of this week's fireside chat. As usual, reliable information is hard to obtain, and gossip passed from student to student is what is relied, upon for the information. But this is the straight dope. TRADITION??—HOOEY! As usual, lurid writers have played up the traditional aspect of the burning of the frosh bonfire. But, as usual, they are wrong! That burning is no more a tradition in this college than the probability that the boy's glee club at Barton's will repeat their pa jama escapade! It all started several years ago, I understand, when some ambitious high • school students, more mis-chievious than thoughtful, invaded the campus and burned the pile of boxes to cinders. Then next year those young arsonites became WWC frosh, and the previous year's freshmen were sophs, so the sophs burn ed down the bonfire to make the score even. Years elapsed, and then this year's Freshman Frolic. DEATH FROM BURNS The University of Washington no longer has a fire to help celebrate Homecoming. Something happened once that ruined all chances to repeat bonfire building and burning. One night before the scheduled time for burning the fire, a happy group of laughing sophs, equipped with gasoline, charged the guarded bonfire and set fire to it... Quickly done... But some one—the soph, who carried the gasoline can—was burned severely. He died soon after. His clothes, saturated with gas splashed from the can, caught fire when the stack was lighted, and he was put out only after it was too late. HIGH SCHOOL INTERFERENCE The frosh might not have been licked—at least, not so badly—if it hadn't been for the high school addition to the ranks of the determined upperclassmen. Interference by college students in high school affairs would put to work the punitive agencies of both educational bodies, but nothing but disgusted comments on the part of spectators and defeated participants were, or will be, the results of the high school on the college activity. Collegiates Rave About Personal Appearance Cast State Council Plans Reforms Lool^ Here They All Laughed; Unanimous Appreciation Voiced; Anne Matheson, Liedle Get Cheers Governor Martin Asks Council To Make Survey • -, Of interest to students last week-end was the play "Personal Appear ance," given by Victor H. Hoppe and his drama students, which starred Anne Matheson and Vern Liedle. As always after the performance o f V. H. Hoppe the play, com ments were flying freely. Some of the student opinions were: Adrian Alberg: "It was very good.' Bonnie Jean Wilson: "Although the plot was weak the casting was well done and it was very well act ed." Helen Cory: "It was wonderful. I liked the informal air about it and everyone seemed to laugh at the same times—that was nice." Maxine Moldrem: "The play was very well cast. Each player seemed to feel the mood of his part." Virgie Boal: "All the cast was very good and in particular Ann. She was almost a professional." Wilhelmine Docherty: "I liked the plot—it was so different." Melba Noonan and Beverly Fred-erickson: "The acting was mar velous but the play was a trifle— well—??!" Phillip Tougaw: "It possessed a strong cast." Terry Gookins: "Gee, it was funny!" Winston Saunders: "I liked the play in a way but especially Anne and Verne. They were swell." Jimmy Armstrong: "It's hard to say because of the type of play but I liked it." Alice James: "It was over-done. It wasn't as strong as it might have been.". Virginia Shippy: "I liked it." Wini Krieter: "I laughed hard in spite of the fact that people turned around and looked at me. Printers and Staff Entertained A LITTLE TIGHT But all blame for the destroyed bonfire cannot be placed on the high school students. If some of the more enthusiastic freshman had indulged less, and concentrated more on protecting, the fight would not have been so one-sided. About ten frosh imbibed, and it took ten more to take care of the imbibers . . Between times when the more sober protectors Were dragging the tight ones out of drainage ditches, from out of the damp and still unburned pile, and taking them home, a good time Was had by all. Sponsored by C. S. Beard of the Union Printing Co., the Klipsun staff and guests were entertained at a dinner last evening at 6:30 in the Mount Baker room of the Leopold hotel. The purpose of the dinner was to discuss the forthcoming annual with the printers and engravers and to exhibit the work already done by the staff. The guests were Miss Anna Ullin, adviser; William Stanley, Frank Wilson, Floyd Brown, Paul Schnel-ler, of the Union Printing Co.; Harry Vinson, and A. P. Salisbury, of the Western Engraving Co. The staff members were Eleanor Rea-soner, editor; Forrest Hawley, Clarence Soukup, Norb Cormier, Buford Clark, Tom Evans, Bill Fowler, Wayne Weber, Pat Green, Alice Mo-lenkamp, Helen Trickey, Jane Tem-plin, Katherine Dunn, Naomi Fus-sell, and Sybil Hinchliffe. With President Fisher taking an active part in the discussion, the Washington State Planning Council met last Monday evening in the Roeder school building to continue the educational survey for which formulation of plans and ideas the council is making aT« th request of Governor Martin. The meeting in Bellingham is one of twenty-five which the council is holding over the state in order to gather the opinions of prominent educators who are interested in an improved state educational program. Dr. Alonzo C. Grace, of the University of Rochester at New York, has been employed as director and consultant of the survey and he was introduced for the first time at the meeting in Roeder school. SURVEY PROBLEMS Evolving around four main headings (1) reorganization of local school units, (2) public school finance, (3) establishment and maintenance of junior college, and (4) [ vocational or technical education program, the discussion was designed to bring .out ideas and solutions for the many problems confronting the council. Also present at the meeting and from WWC faculty were Miss Mary Rich, Miss Elizabeth Hopper, Miss Elsie Wendling, and Miss Emma Erickson. The next meeting of the planning council will be held in Seattle on Friday, November 26. o Blue Barnacle Club Heads Swim Meet Johnny-on~the-Spot? Register Now Hear ye! Hear ye!

The cup was given to Collett Court because its decorations best portrayed the iGea of trie defeat and downfall of the Wildcat players which was to be represented in this year's competition. Colorful, witty, slogans set on the lawn and fastened on the building gave an air of interest, caught the eye of the pedestrians, and suggested forcibly what the Vikings wished to do to this rival team. Choosing the winner was a rather difficult task, report the judges, owing to the fact that the other houses, also, portrayed vivid and imaginative scenes, making the competition keen. Edens hall, Edwards hall, and Daniels hall were among the houses whose decorations showed, forethought and skill and were of special interest to the students and the old grads because they aided in lending a gala air of festivity to homecoming. — o Women Get New Golf Course Adhering to the Blue book schedule the ---------- Western Viking - 1937 November 26 - Page 2 ---------- W^§0S^^§0MW^!^!^§$iS$ WF^TERN \yASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION.

The picture has color as well as adventure with the kilted highlanders when they hold Khyber Pass. The picture includes such notables as Shirley Temple, Victor McLaglen, C. Aubrey Smith, June Lang, Michael Whalen, and Cesar Romero. Craig Reynolds and Ann Sheridan take the leads in "THE FOOTLOOSE HEIRESS," a laugh-hit with a hobo. Both features begin Saturday and last through Tuesday. R u n n i n g aturday t o Tuesday is "BACK IN CIRCULATION" in which Joan Blondell is a feature reporter, Pat O'Brien, a slave-driver newspaper editor, and Margaret Lindsay, a beautiful widow accused of murdering her husband. "THE GIRL SAID NO" is a Gilbert and Sullivan musical with a modern angle. The stars are Irene Hervey and Robert Armstrong. It is a laughable comedy with everything from immortal lyric mas- Here's where the Seltzer boys, Alka and I terpieces to stream-line sirens. With a cast headed by] that laugh artists, Jack Benny, "ARTISTS AND MODELS" comes to town with gags and A Miracle by The Stroller the / (JIT^D AM t RON It is axiomatic that people who serve the public always get panned. In this school community of students and faculty, the class officers and chairmen, the committee that picks assemblies, the library, the registrar's office, et cetera— and always the Viking—-are permanent targets for public opinion to shoot at. Yet it is hardly probable that all other classes and activities of the school are conducted with 100 per cent efficiency while the agencies constantly before the public are wrong on every count. • Students and faculty, the Viking urges you to ask yourselves before shooting at these tempting targets, "Would I care to do without the service I am criticizing? Could I really do the job better myself? Have I ever praised anything around here?" Public servants, the Viking advises you to do your best, meanwhile cultivating a philosophic attitude and a thicker epidermis. Planning goes with your job. Debris BAD TASTE Probably the most talked of event in college the last few days was the burnng of the bonfire by members of upper classes and their cohorts from the Bellingham high school. The bonfire is a traditional affair and the annual fight that goes with it is just as traditional. It is something that should always remain a part of the school affairs, but when the scuffle extends beyond the use of fists and fire hoses into the realm of blunt weapons, it becomes a menace to human life and to the reputation of the school. The courage and foolhardiness of the freshmen who refused to leave the scene of battle and had to be carried away in an unconscious state can be questioned, but their loyalty did not call for brutality. Let's keep the bonfire and all its traditions, but let's keep it clean. IRENE TOIKKA and ETHEL DAHLMAN had a football hero in their room Friday e v e n i ng when they came home to retire. To their disappointment they discovered it was a dummy, placed there by BE A ARMSTRONG and some of the other Ten-ace Hollers* **ED REISCHMANN says that he likes his girl—she has such pretty hair***If PETE CARLSON looks a little wall-eyed this week and drags his heels it might be explained by the fact that he spent aH Homecoming in the company of the HUMMING BIRD...

CHESTY COOPER gave a certain young lady his picture-he was all smiles when he presented it to her—and then he took his heart ***TOM EVANS evidently thinks he has become quite a Don Juan since acting in the play—with all his stolen kisses between the acts of the performance*** JOE HUNT began his Homecoming celebration last Thursday. VERN LIEDLE waited all evening for Joe to come up to the play and give his moral support but Joe had forgotten that there even was a play! MILES POPOVIC doesn't know yet if he got home Friday night. And if he did get home, how? And if so, why? While on the subject of Pop, we might add that Pop's mom and pop are coming up for the game on Thursday and then are taking him back to Seattle which kind of cramps his plans for a. jaunt to Vancouver*** JAMES TAYLOR bought orange juice for WANDA BARCI and BETH TOWNSEND Saturday night, only to discover they had left him holding the gunny, or the orange juice, or something. CARVER almost got jealous***We understand JOHHNY ROSENTANGLE was a little sorry he had to work in the checkroom Saturday night because it interfered with the progress he had been making with BETTY ARMSTRONG—had CARVER going there too. But maybe he isn't as interested as Carver is afraid he is because Johnny waited around after the dance for HELEN GREENE***Good thing LEROY PETERSON had a mama to come up and take him home Friday evening. His legs weren't navigating so well** SQUIRM HOLTZHEIMER'S old girl PETE, was hitting a million Saturday Aoh la la**Quite a party that one held at Booth's that same last Saturday night. Speaking of Booths, BARBARA BOOTHE and her sister are looking for a sign that says 'Booths for Ladies'.*** Guess what I saw! ANNA BERG was sitting in the children's library reading— 'Kitchen Hints'!

Maybe she doesn't have the sweet childish innocence which her face hints at***And was that BUB SANDROSE enjoying her company at the dance?***Someone suggested that MARGARET JANE BRUFF and BILL RIDDER ought to get together—they might find that they had a lot in common*** 1. Questions—But- No Answers-Here And a Happy Hollerday to you! While you relax between mouthfuls and snoozes these four days, see what you can do about the following questions. Or, if you can think up some YOU want to ask, label them with this column's heading, turn 'em into the Viking office, and we'll print the questions and answers in the next issue (providing they don't shock the staff.) QUESTIONS What frosh insisted fervently last Saturday night on being forgiven, and on having his name put in the paper? Title of this week's song hit?

Homecoming Brings Many Alumni Back to Old Haunts; Students Home For Thanksgiving I'm Huhg Terrace Hall, Acom House Have Dinners; Viking Grads Return FORMER STUDENTS RETURN Lillian Pearson, former WWC student, spent the week-end with her family while she attended the Homecoming activities. She is now attending the U. of W., where she is training to be a nurse. Bill Weeks, who received his degree last spring, returned for Homecoming week-end. He is now working in the chemisty department of the pulp mill at Shelton. Betsy Davis spent last week-end in Seattle where she visited friends at the University and attended a dance sponsored by Phi Delta Chi fraternity at Lake Forest Park. Gardner Dack's Pet Nears Completion The new practice field which lies directly behind the new physical education building is being finished slowly but surely. A new surface of good black soil has just been spread over the field, costing a great deal. The project will be completed sometime next spring, if the weather doesn't hinder progress, said George Dack,- gardener, ' in a recent interview. When completed there will be a practice field for football and baseball, but the games will still be played at Battersby field. The old Waldo field will be used by the girls and the track team. Before this there wasn't enough room for more than one sport to turn out at a time. Tennis courts will be installed behind the PE building, making more room for the lovers of tennis. According to a large majority of students, the location of the new field will be an ideal spot for a stadium. —o Mabel Rolle, who is a graduate of the class of '36, came back from Lacey, Washington, where she is teaching, to attend the annual Homecoming events. She was a visitor of Sybil Hinchliffe and Alice Molenkamp. Modern Pictures Bought for Art Stewart Hibbs, who works in the library at Sedro-Woolley, spent the week-end here. "Our collection of books, pictures, and lithographs has several new additions this quarter," reports Miss Hazel Plympton, of the Art department. A number of late litho-gaphs, pictures, and books have been purchased. Margarete Seemann's "Bees Book," written and published in Germany, is outstanding in its field and is ready for use by the department. Living art from the modern art exhibit is represented in reproductions of "Anna," by Federico Le-brun; "Plum Girl," by Maurice Sterne, and "Mending the Boats," by Gordon Borchardt. New pictures of still life include Cezanne's "Fruit" and Billie Water's "Innocence." Both the living art and the still life pictures are colored by the process of Max Jaffe, of Vienna. This process has been voted the most successful by outstanding museum directors. o- Plympton Praises Photographs Art Instructors Judges Work Of Professional Quality; All Compositions Outstandnig Katheryn Hatch, and Mr. and Mrs. McCormick.

COLLETT COURT VISITORS Gretchi Schultz was a guest at Collett Court for Homecoming. She is teaching at Birdsview. Blanche Frost, who is teaching at Samish, came back for the weekend. Historical background—There once was a tribe of hungry Indians. The chief says one day, "I am tired of being warlike and hungry. Let us bury the hatchet." They said, "Yes, let us." And so they went out and buried the hatchet in this old gobbler's head. Thus was born Thanksgiving with turkey dinners. Before that they ate each other. Gee, I'm hungry; Loudest complaint—He didn't wanna go to market. He got foxed, though. Soon he was sizzling in his own gravy. Gosh, I'm hungry. Big social error—Old Turk stayed out too late the night before and overslept. When the tribe came along at 12:30 p. m. Thursday morn, 1610 A. D., he was caught napping. Don't ever stay up too late the night before and get caught napping on Thursday morn. Take her home early. Cranberries and pumpkin pies galore. I'M HUNGRY. Nice feature—The gobbler has two drumsticks. Give me the rest. Especially the thigh and white meat, etc. If I don't get fed soon I'll commit larceny. Future—It's gonna get the stuffing beat outa it. And that ain't all. Ymmm. P. S— Invite me up to dinner. I'm voracious, and hungry besides. Thass a warning. o Cosmopolitan Programs For Alkisiah Club In an atmosphere of tradition and solemn gratitude, 'the campus schools observed their Festival of Thanksgiving this morning in the College auditorium. The program of music and dancing was climaxed by the presentation of gifts to thej Goddess, Maxine Moldrem. j The processional, whien was participated in by grades four to nine, was. followed by the singing of "Come Ye Thankful People, Come." The attendant of. the leaves, Emily Gilmore, announced the dance of the leaves by the sixth grade girls. Nyrha Egberg, the attendant of the grapes, spoke and the dance of the grapes was interpreted by the seventh and eighth grade girls. The dance of the harvest, performed by the seventh grade boys, was introduced by George Livesey, attendant of the grain. Food and Money Received "What shall I bring in gladness?" asked the Goddess and there followed the presentation of gifts. Children selected from each grade brought forth gifts of food and money. The food is to be sent to the Washington State Department of Public Welfare. The Festival was closed with the singing of the litany, "For the Beauty of the Earth," and the recessional. Though the ninth grade assisted with the music and rehear-saJs, it was voted that the eighth grade continue in charge of the traditional Festival. Attendants have always been selected from the eighth grade and students from this grade, are responsible for the Festival Plans . Once more the snow flies and "Track" sounds down the white slopes of Mount Baker as ski season makes its unofficial entrance at the Meadows. The opening of the Lodge on December 15 marks the formal beginning. This year more enthusiasm than ever is being shown in this king of winter sports. Already the Mount Baker Ski club has gotten off to a spirited start with a banquet last Tuesday evening, at which Peter Hostmark, President of the Northwest Ski Association, was one of the guest speakers. The higlispot of the evening was a style show which showed what is being worn by Mr. and Mrs. Skier this year. The new colors and styles will make a gay sight at the ski resorts. Lodge Remodeled After a summer of repairing and remodeling, the Mount Baker Lodge offers better accommodations for those who go up for a week-end or only the day. A number of rooms are available in the main building, while cabins are to be had at a somewhat lower price both at the Meadows and at Shuksan, 9 miles below the Lodge. As there are to date about 50 inches of snow at the Meadows, that means no more waiting for the thrill of rushing down that hill and stop-ping— oop—how did you stop? To those of you who have never been on skiis before, try it this year; it's loads of fun, and to you vets of the sport, get your clothes and skiis out of the mothballs and—well—we'll be seeing you at Mount Baker. 15 Application PHOTOS $2.50 Jacobson's STUDIO WWCs Bigendian "Soukie" SOUKUP The E D I T OR of the V I K I NG Member of Kitchen Krew and a charming bit of personality, is invited to bring June Wanless to our Soda fountain for a special Sundae On Us.

Starting at 11:00 'clock, the game is sponsored by the American Legion and will cost exactly $1.03 or presentation of your student ticket. Leon Alpaugh will be playing his last year and game for WWCE. During the past two seasons, Linfield has made an enviable record. Last year they were in the Northwest conference and won most of their games. This year they are playing with a lot of California and Washington teams—with a few Oregon ones tossed in to boot. Lappy has scouts sending him information and gave out the following statement: "During the past two years Coach Lever has had winning teams. Due to this fact we're bringing this team this distance to play on Thanksgiving day. A mediocre team wouldn't draw well enough. It takes a good club, as this Oregon . Wildcat bunch is, to draw a crowd." Linfield Compares Favorably Let's take a look at competitive scores. Linfield has managed to come out a little better against the same teams that the Vikings have played. They beat Ellensburg 13 to 0. They beat St. Martins 7 to 0. And they had Cheney 7 to 6 until the last minute of play when the Savages completed a pass for the winning touchdown and won, 13 to 7. Speed and weight are both represented. Outstanding for the Wildcats are Schemer and CMeara. Both the American Legion and the Western Washington college bands will be present to furnish peppy music. The classy bands always supply lots of enthusiasm. A good exhibition of football is anticipated as both teams use a wide open style of play. Crowds like and applaud these spectacular plays. Dry weather is hoped for not only to facilitate the open field playing, but especially by the outweighed Vikings so they can make use of their passing attack. Two years ago another Oregon team, Monmouth, came up and took a beating. Let's hope for a repetition!

Joe Moses, peppery • little forward of the Manorites, was off form but his big brother Ed hit the twine for 18 points and Chase for 10 points, J.

George Moscrip, high-scorer for the Co-op team is close behind the brothers with a good grasp on third place. Jim Bever is one point behind him for a fourth place position. Chalking up their third victory, Daniels Lions gave notice that they are still in the basketball picture by over-powering the strong Co-op team, 34 to 22. Storm, forward for the Lions, led the attack with a total of 17 points, while Vogel, his teammate, gathered in 8. Moscrip and Cook helped the cause of the Co-op most with 11 and 7 points apiece.

The Norse stuck twice with lightning rapidity, chalking up a field goal in the first period, and capitalizing on a break in the third to score a touchdown. Poochie Place-Kicks The game was still young when the Westerners generated the first scoring offensive. Their running attack bogging down on the Wildcat's 18, the Vikings sent George Smith back in what looked to be a hopeless attempt to garner three points. His placekick, however, was a thing of beauty which just cleared the uprights. The Hilltoppers put Central Washington behind the eight-ball in the third canto, after an exchange of kicks gave the Wildcats the ball on their own 30. On a reverse from Jerry Huggins. Jack East let the ball pop out of his arms and Leon Alpaugh snatched the ball in midair and raced 20 yards for the touchdown. His attempted conversion was blocked. Wildcats Threaten Ellensburg came back fighting and ripped off large gains both on the ground and in the air. In between Jerry Huggins' passes, Jim Clifton and Tom Matelak smashed the line for first down after first down. Three times CWS drove deep into Viking territory, but each time the Blue and White line held with their backs to the wall. The Wildcats had the upper hand much of the game, outgaining the winners eleven first downs to eight, but Bob Tisdale's soaring punts helped a lot. Tisdale rated a distinct edge over Freddie Taylor, who was bothered more by the soggy ball. Al Munkres was outstanding in the Viking backfield, with Smith, Alpaugh, Russ Davis, Vaughn Weber, and the other regulars doing heroic work in the front trenches. For Ellensburg, Huggins, Matelak, arid Clifton in the backfield, and the Anderson boys and Dick Thurston on the line, starred.

Has your house chosen its swimming teams yet? That old adage about not going near the water doesn't apply to your hall, does it? The swimming meet is slated for Wednesday, December 1. There'll be obstacle relays, diving, chariot races and all the rest. Remember, a beginner can chalk up as many points for your house as a life guard or an examiner. How about some representatives? Our skating party is coming off Thursday, December 2. Barbara Kennedy and Betty Adams are making the plans. And if you dont drown at the swimming meet the day before (of course you Wont), we'll see you all at the rink. And now as a last warning— don't eat too much. After all, those interclass games must go on. Cracking the verbal whip in regard to his basketball charges, Coach Chuck Lappembusch asserts, "I expect every man to be in tip top shape and ready for a strenuous drill the first day out." The local football season ending Thanksgiving day, the first turnout is scheduled for Monday, November 30. This leaves only 15 practice sessions until the University of Washington game. This will be the first time any Washington varsity has come to Bellingham under the sponsorship of the university. With only three returning let-termen, Harold Nelson, who scored high last year, Johnny Fox, and Danny Gagnon, Coach Lappenbusch says new prospects will be given every chance to make the team, and their sweaters, this season. Lappenbusch feels that the new material this year will shape up better than in 1936. Several new players who appear as regular varsity material are John Rosentangle, Russell Eyer, and Bob Tisdale, who were instrumental in leading Valley high school to the state championship in 1935. Also receiving the recommendation of Lappenbusch were the brothers Ed and Joe Moses. Schedule of games has been PPPPP

As we look out of the window we can see that waterfall in all its glory, pouring down from a great height. V V Seeing Purple And so we get to the fairs. No good upright country is complete without a fair. Mussolini is preparing for one. Two monuments to progress are enticing the hicks to town to get rooked in this country, and the Canadians are splurging themselves with an original one-act fair with a king and queen as chief attractions and the Dionne quints as a sideshow. Seattle with a naturally jealous disposition, determined that the Canucks should not be allowed to hog the royalty and invited tne purple personages from Norway to illuminate their city. V v • Double Action Hitler has been ominously quiet these past few days. The silence is the result of the extensive greasing of the Rome-Berlin axis, thus Stopping the squeaks and moans arising from the Jews getting hit in the pants with the spokes of the wheel.

Carl Erb's yacht the Thetis, will leave Bellingham at 9 a. m. for a 12-hour trip. A stop will be made at one of the islands where wieners buns, and coffee will be served.

Bushell To Study In California Summer Quarter Music Department Brings Year to Close;' Bushelf In Recital This Evening Donald Bushell, music instructor, will appear both as guest artist and director of the college orchestra in the annual concerto recital in which Miss Edith B. Strange presents five of her piano students Friday evening, May 26, in the Garden Street Methodist Episcopal church auditorium. Mr. Bushell will leave the middle of June for a summer of study at Mills college, Oakland, Calif., one of the outstanding summer music and art centers. He will study quartet, playing with the Budapest string quartet, and 'cello with Mischa Schneider, 'cellist of the famed quartet. Radio Station Planned Plans are completed for a studio to be used for broadcasting school programs and making recordings and electrical transcriptions. This new studio should be under way and ready to operate early in the summer. New high fidelity microphone and studio amplifier have been ordered to assure highest broadcast quality. The school studio gives opportunity for WWC students to participate in planning and producing radio programs. It will also enable listeners to enjoy news, music, speech and dramatic programs originating at the school. .fc; Special Permissions End Miss Florence Johnson, dean of women, announces the date for closed week-end. Beginning with .June 1 no late permissions or leaves will be granted. No special entertainments are being given and all other functions must finish on scheduled time. These rules were set up by the faculty committee of student affairs and health committees in the colleges all over the country. WWC is different in having only one week-end closed while the University, of Washington and others are having two closed weeks preceding exams. Faculty Decides Not To Wear Gowns Reversing their previous decision, the faculty voted hot to wear caps and gowns at commencement. "The change came too suddenly and without full consideration of its meaning and implications," states Mr. Arntzen, social science instructor. "The purpose of ritualistic symbolism is to express the spirit of an institution or an event. Change should take place only after careful planning." Mr. Arntzen went on to say, "Caps and Gowns can be worn in a perfectly democratic spirit I admit, but they can also be used in a way that would emphasize undemocratic distinctions. This should be avoided arid for this reason it was considered best not to inaugurate the change at this time." New Funds Created By ASB Board At a combination picnic and business meeting, the board of control met at Lakewood Tuesday evening. New Funds Allotted Two new funds were created out of the social fund at the request of Mr. McGee and Mr. Carver. One for men's intramural sports because varsity athletics took so much of the sports funds and the other for summer recreational activities. New Members Attend Two recently elected members of the board attended this their first meeting. They were Lela Kaufman and Stewart McLeod, replacing Sally Siemons and Dale Oourtney who have finished their term on the board. Students Formulate, Adopt Resolution Demanding Charges Be Revealed; No Faculty Members Attend Meeting In the absence of President Fisher, an enthusiastic and orderly special meeting of the Associated Student Body of WWC was called yesterday by Student President Ralph Neil. No faculty members were present. The following resolution was formulated, unanimously accepted, and telegraphed to the governor, the board of trustees and newspapers in the state and nation: PRESIDENT C. H. FISHER HAS BEEN FORMALLY NOTIFIED OF DISMISSAL FROM WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION. THIS ACT IS THE RESULT OF A CAMPAIGN CONDUCTED BY A MINORITY GROUP OPPOSED TO WHAT THEY ASSUME TO BE HIS POLICY. WE AS STUDENTS REQUEST A STATEMENT OF SPECIFIC CHARGES BE MADE SO THAT WE MAY KNOW WHY HE WAS DISMISSED. . BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT PRESIDENT FISHER HAS DONE OUTSTANDING WORK DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION, BECAUSE OF THE OBJECTIONABLE METHODS USED IN CONDUCTING THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST HIM, AND BECAUSE OF THE UNFOUNDED STATEMENTS MADE AGAINST WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION, WE TAKE THIS MEANS OF EXPRESSING OUR EXTREME DISAPPROVAL OF HIS DISMISSAL. THEREFORE, UNTIL THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED AND PROVEN BY AN UNBIASED COMMITTEE, WE DEMAND HIS RETENTION. SINCERELY, ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY, WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION. (Signed) RALPH NEIL, PRESIDENT. No Ret Hour This Week Because of the long week-end this week, and the variety of other social functions, there will be no rec hour this Friday. - Yap Broadcasting Network Announces Election and Awards at Banquet With station YAP releasing flash after flash of exclusve yellow yap scoops, the YY news corporation dispatched to the extreme ends of the horseshoe-shaped table in the Rose room of the Leopold hotel from 6:00 to 8:30 Wednesday evening, accurate, last-minute reports from the political, judicial, powers of Yapland.

PREXY SHOWN COLLEGE'S MOST POPULAR MAN IN CONCERTED STUDENT ACTION The spontaneous student assembly held yesterday proved that President C. H. Fisher is still the most popular man in WWC and that the students are behind him in the fullest extent. The meeting, held in an orderly manner, gave evidence of approval of Prexy's twenty-five year plan and asked that he be given a fair chance to cany out his program of development begun sixteen years ago. Proving that not only a part of the school is behind our great leader, the faculty in a similar meeting last night voted a unanimous expression of confidence. Before the governor reaches his final decision on the matter of President's dismissal he would do well to have personal interviews with some of the students of the college. In the final analysis they can be the only ones who can present complete refutaton of any and all of the charges that have bombarded the local administration for so long. LACK OF STUDENT CO-OPERATION IRKS DACK Dack has trouble. Aside from having his lawns cut up by ditches, he has to contend with non-co-operating students. It seems he requested a student to pick up a banana peel and a sack that she carelessly flung out of the window of the WWCollegian office. He got no response. Actions like this are nearly as bad as those of students who fling dead things out of tne science windows. Dack has remarked this lack of co-operation on the part of the students before. Prexy has pointed out the benefits of co-operation. It would seem that we need more lectures before we eliminate these undesirable habits from our michts. Dack has MORE trouble. Newspaperman's luck to be leaving the position of editor just when the best series of stories, even for a professional newspaper, is breaking. But an editor has only a certain length of time to serve the Associated Students and then, although at that time he is barely seasoned, he must leave and be demoted by the world into a position of lower rank. But then this life is just a series of promotions and demotions anyway. Quien est? ORGANIZATION DENIES ACTIVITY CRITICISM; MEMBERS BELIEVE SMALL GROUP BETTER Dear Editor: Several weeks ago there appeared in "Week by Week" by Hank Francis a criticism of the International Relations club. At the time the members of the club dismissed the criticism as an unfounded and biased opinion not worthy of discussion. Upon reflection the club has decided to make an answer to the criticism and to state the purposes of the organization as the members understand them. One whole truth appeared in the hash of implications, false ideas, and half-truths. There was one meeting when most of the membership stayed away, for legitimate reasons. As to . the size of the enrollment, the very nature of the club limits its appeal. The membership is composed of people willing and ready to discuss world affairs on an adult level. The International Relations club, which has sister organizations in colleges throughout the world, is endowed by the Carnegie Foundation to promote international understanding. To aid in realizing this purpose and to help us to formulate and express unbiased opinions the local club has the use of the extensive library furnished by the Foundation. Our college recognizes the value of the club by granting activity points for membership. The student body assists in sending a delegation of our members to the regional conventions. For students interested in our aims there is opportunity each quarter to affiliate with the club. We, the members, feel that a chosen actively participating group is in better accord with, the educational principles and the attainment of our purposes than, to quote Mr. Francis, a more "populous" and "gregarious" group. Mr. Francis recommends "new furnishings" such as advisers. It would be interesting to know just what Mr. Francis has in mind as the function of an adviser. The International Relations club conducts its own business, succeeds of fials as an independent student group. When a member does become confused in the maze of a discussion we need to quote authorities to set him straight again—and whom better could we secure for assistance in this dilemma than our adviser, Miss Cummins? She has our complete confidence in her ability to aid us. This quarter our final meeting; a picnic at Lakewood,. will be a fit conclusion for a successful, enjoyable club year; and Mr. Francis is invited. THE MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB. PICNIC WEATHER IS HERE. We Have Full Lines of the" things needed. Highland Creamery 615 High St. MORE ABOUT PREXY (Continued from Page 1) ing to dominate the institution, although not connected with it. He added: "The charge has been made that I am a radical. They have also charged members of tiie faculty with being radicals and say that we foster radicalism among students. I publicly answered these charges at a business men's luncheon some time ago and refuted them .to the satisfaction of 95 per cent of those present. 90 per cent of the people of Bellingham do not believe these charges are true. "Students who have been in attendance at the institution, and who are as wholesome a group of young Americans as can be found in any college in the nation, would unanimously, say these charges are not true." Fisher said continual pressure, however, was applied by his opponents with the result Governor Martin called the college trustees to Olympia and it was agreed between them he was to leave the college. "At no time have there been any charges made by the board of trustees or Governor Martin regarding my administration of affairs of the college," he said, "in contrast to our professional attitude we have been informed that it is- the opinion of the board of trustees and Governor Martin that an institution that is tax-supported is a political institution. "So long as we have boards of trustees and regents in the higher institutions of the state that are appointed and removable by the governor, just so long w#l we have insecurity and instability in the case at Bellingham. The board, numbering only three members, apparently believes that if they did not carry out the governor's wishes their resignations would have been called for or when their terms expired, they would not have been reappointed." In Pittsburg, Kansas, last night, W. A. Brandenburg, representative of the National Association of Teachers' Colleges, who made a personal investigation of the Bellingham situation, said he had found the controversy "intolerable." He said it was impossible for Fisher to straighten it out and that he found the situation was of six or seven years standing. Brandenburg said he recommended to Dr. Charles Hunt, Oneonta, N. Y., executive secretary of the national association, that Governor Martin try to find a place for Fisher. He indicated the association would not interfere in the controversy beyond trying to find a new post for Fisher. Brandenburg is president of the Kansas State Teachers' college. Natl Organization Accepts Alkisiah At the last meeting of the Alkisiah club for the quarter, May 22, in the Edens hall clubroom the new president, Lois Reid, took office. Ellen Wainio announced that the club is now a member of the Junior Affiliation of the Federated Womens clubs. Several representatives will attend the convention of the State Federation of Women's Clubs at their convention in Bellingham from June 15 to 18. Others who took office at that time were: Lela Kaufman, vice president; Marion Peters, secretary; Ruth Erickson, treasurer; and Char-lene Patmore, representative of the AWS. Plans for the boat trip Saturday, May 27, from 5 until 11 p. m. to Deepwater bay were announced by the chairman, Charlene Patmore. Fifty women can go on the trip. Miss Jane Campbell, secretary to the Bellingham YWCA, talked on the youth hostel movement in the northwest. Marion Peters, Frances Wood, and' Leslie Hampton presented several musical selections. Charlotte Frank gave a reading of "The Waltz" by Dorothy Parker. Marion Peters recited a German dialect poem. Club Elects Officers Fred McHenry was elected president of the International Relations club at its regular election of officers this past week. Also chosen for the ensuing year were .Lela Kaufman, vice president; Anna Ely Magailon, secretary; and Pedro de Masca, treasurer. The last meeting.of the club this quarter will be a picnic held at Lake-wood for the members and their friends. Buy Cut Rate Drugs at WESTERN THRIFT The Little Red Store at the Corner of Cornwall and/Holly Toiletries and Tobacco EXH Business Manager to Assume Hill's Position; Stewart McLeod Chosen New Business Manager At the annual, banquet of the WWCollegian Wednesday night, it was revealed that the next year's heads of the paper would be Bill Ridder and Stewart McLeod. Ridder will occupy the editor's position, and McLeod will take over the business manager's duties. Ridder graduated from Bellingham high in 1937 as valedictorian. While attending that school he was associate editor'of the Bellingham Beacon. He is now a member of the scholarship society here while taking a pre-medic course. He has served* the last three quarters as business manager of the WWCollegian. McLeod was recently, elected to the board of control, is a pre-law student and a sophomore. He has served three quarters as assistant business manager of the WWCollegian. Campus School Holds Memorial Assembly *To honor the war dead and to stress the ideals of democracy for which men have fought and died, the eighth grade of the campus school staged a Memorial day assembly this morning in the college auditorium. The assembly grew out of a unit of study of government and the Ideals of life, liberty, and justice. In the assembly portrayal, these ideals are traced back through the history of time. They are found with Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence and In the Bill of Rights. They are again stressed at the close of the Civil war in Loin's Gettysburg address. These ideals are again brought to life during the World war in which men were fighting a war to end war and make the world safe for democracy. In the last scene, the eighth grade shows the world today with all its chaos and unrest, wondering if these men had died in vain. AWS Officers Installed; Constitution Revised Next year's AWS officers and commission members were installed last Friday, May 19, at their last meeting of the year. An amendment to the constitution was passed, giving the commission the power to nominate two girls for each office at election time, and have additional candidates put up by ---------- WWCollegian - 1939 May 26 - Page 3 ---------- mm mm M WESTERN tt^ lNGTON C I^E^jQfr E D I ^ ^ K J N ^ E I I L I N G H A M ; WAMHN£tON -$' ' -: Folk Dance Festival The exhibition, of last Thursday night proved such a success that plans have already been made to make the folk dance festival an annual contribution to WAA activities.-About 150 townspeople and students attended the recital held .in the PE building.

May 26, 193^ Crippled Tennisters Under-Dogs Fisher, Bauman Unable to Attend Annual Meet; Ellensburg Wildcats Favored to Cop Championship With about as much chance to win as a Chinaman running for mayor of Tokyo, the tennis team Jeft for Cheney yesterday morning minus the services of Chuck Fisher. The Viking No. I man will be unable to defend his conference first single championship due to his dance orchestra job. Fisher's loss is the latest and most disheaten-ing. x gt;f the several bad breaks that have dogged WWC's netmen this season. Earlier Joe Harvie had been declared ineligible and Pestoh Cooper found out that his work would interfere with his playing. Four Men on Trip The boys who left early yesterday morning with Coach Chuck Lappenbusch are Don Loms-dale, Bill Fowler, Vic Mpllan, and Bob Page. Due to the fact that there are only three singles matches plus the two doubles, only four men were taken. Don Lomsdale will take on the suicidie assignment of filling Fisher's shoes, having defeated Bill Fowler for the right to play singles. Don Lomsdale is second and Bill Fowler third, for the other two singles matches. Doubles combinations were unannounced at a late hour, but it is probable that Page and Fowler will team up, leaving Bauman and Lomsdale for the other pair. Ellensburg Favored to Win Led by the Knox twins, Central Washington's Wildcats will be heavy favorites to recapture the title they lost to the Vikings last year. Eastern Washington is the dark horse, but should do well on their own courts. Ed Ulowetz heads the Savage team. Pacific Lutheran college isn't expected to show much. Despite heavy odds against them, the Belling-ham netsters are confident of making it tough for their opponents. Their hopes of winning apparently lie in second and third singles and second doubles, unless EWC or PLC can win any of the other matches. Red Cross Exams Being Given WWC men have been taking the examinations for the rating of Senior Red Cross life-saver from Coach McGee in the past few weeks. The examinations are in the form of written tests with the practical practice of the holds, breaks, and carries coming as a supplement to the written exams. Thus the men first learn the whys and wherefores and then go into the pool to practice the practical ways of doing it. Those taking the tests include Carl Lobe, Dennis Wolstenholme, John Krieg.

However, last Sunday a pick-up team composed of Men o* Moses, Edwards, All-Americans and Viking Manor defeated handily the Blanchard town team in the first game but lost the second game to the Bulger Boys from Blanchard.

Pour schools, Cheney, Ellensburg, Pacific Lutheran, and Belling-ham enter three men each in a 36-hole medal tournament. Prom scores on the 36 holes, the college championship is decided as well as an individual championship for all four colleges. For the past five years, the Viking squad has held the college championship and according to Sam Carver, its chances are excellent for taking it again this year, . Of the three men. Tesreau, Chase, and Kidder representing WWC, Chase won the individual title in '37, Tesreau in '38. However, all three, have been playing par golf this season, and will each stand a good chance against competitors for the championship. WWC Golf ers Come Back; Defeat UW Frosh in Return Match at Lakeway Though defeated by the U. of W. frosh early in the season, the Viking golfers came back to take their return match, 15 to 0. The match was played last Friday afternoon on the Lake-way course. Low medal score for the day was shot by the Vikings' No. 1 man, Jeff Tesreau. Tesreau holed out with a 69, one below par; while Chase and Kidder each shot par 70's. WWC BIG THREE TRI-COLLEGE FAVORITES Phil Kidder Manford Chase Jeff Tesreau DEFENDING CHAMPIONS Jeff Tesreau, hailing from Aberdeen; Manford Chase, who learned his golf at Burlington; and Phil Kidder, also of the Grays Harbor country but from Hoquiam, are slated to defend the Tri-College crown they won at Ellensburg last year. The WWC one, two, and three men respectively have been playing together for three years now and have been the main reason for the Vikings' continued success in that span. Their main opposition is expected to come from Cheney. SOFTBALL IS WASHOUT Because of the continued failure of teams to show up for scheduled games, there will be no softball story this week.

Mrs. Edward;s banner will be carried by Don (6 flavors) Wilson, Rolf Jensen, Dale Fredericks, Ralph Blanchard, and either Clancy Kuhn or Prank Anderson. Mrs. Wogenson's charges will be headed by Bob White, with Carl De Bruler, Hank Francis, Norman Funk, and Winston Sanders. A thrilling match is expected with1 Edwards installed as slight favorites on the basis of past performances. Track Team Given Fighting Chance Although Defeated by Ellensburg, Viking Cindersmiths Are Hopeful Of Surprising With Triumph Slated as definite underdogs, the Viking cindersmiths left early this morning for Cheney and the Tri-College meet. Every year the Colleges of Education hold an annual meet at one of the colleges and this year Eastern Washington plays host to WWC, CWC, and PLC. The Norse have a vague chance of winning the track meet according to past performances although they have dropped a dual meet to Ellensburg already this year. Those going to the meet include: Dan Gagnon, sprints;- Norm Dahl, John Ellis, Maynard Howatt, distances; Bob Tisdale, hurdles; Wayne Weber, Russ Eyer, John Thommasen, Jim Bev-er, Harold Nelson, Dan Paul, Jack Millard, field events. Also included on the trip were coaches Sam Carver and Loye McGee and Manager Roy Franko. Gagnon will face tough competition in this meet with Vic Carpine and Wayne Sartinv of Cheney and Les Jones and Glen Hartman of Ellensburg as chief competitors. Dahl has a good chance to win the 880, Howatt the mile, and Ellis the two-mile. The entry of Howatt in the mile is not definite due to the recent injury suffered by the gangling miler. The field events look better than they have in past years as Russ Eyer, Wayne Weber, and Harold Nelson are due to put forth their best performances of the year and this may mean new records. The relay team probably will consist of Dan. Gagnon, Norm Dahl, Bob'Tisdale, and Russ Eyer or Wayne Weber. After the meet is over, the team will pick a leisurely way back? visiting Grand Coulee dam on the way. Postpone Swimming Meet For Second Time Once again the men's swimming meet has been postponed.

Viking Will Add Extra Column Next Week Opening the season with a decisive rout of the strong University of Washington team at the University course last Wednesday, the Viking golfers showed favorable sigris of again being the team to watch in the Tri-college matches. Phil Kidder was the star of the day with a "75". Kidder faced no difficulty in disposing of his opponent. Chase, who has not been able to do much real golfing due to a Saturday afternoon job, shot a few wild ones but managed to outswap strokes with his competitor Both Jacobsen and Tesreau also won their matches. Morris found it tough going and was the only loser of the day. Today the golf men will meet CPS on the local Lakeway course. Coach Carver predicts a much tougher match than that with ttie Prosh. Because of the need for more' space and because its own prosperous administration has endowed it with enough funds, the Viking will enlarge to seven columns beginning next week. This larger paper will continue for the rest of the quarter and will give opportunity for more open letters and features which have been gaining popularity of late. "Live and Learn" column, the juggernaut of the Viking, will again be revived. Students and faculty are asked to make their contributions with a new hope as now there is certainty that they will see print. "We are trying printing the Viking in seven column form once more," says the editor, "and hope this time that it will become a permanent feature of Western Washington Washington college." Pair Honored By Order of DeMolay KENNETH SELANDEB Honored by the Chuckanut Chapter, Order of DeMolay, Kenny Se-lander and Hiram Hogberg, WWC students, have received citations for degree of Chevalier, highest award that a member of DeMolay may receive. Coincidentally, this pair has shared other honors together. Both Selander and Hogberg served in the capacity of yell dukes for the last two quarters; both were in the Shakespearean production, "Julius Caesar'. Selander played the role of Decius Brutus, while Hogberg took the part of Octavius Caesar. Selander is a sophomore, and Hogberg is a freshman.

The site for the occasion, is the customary place, Lakewood, which is the property of WWC, and is located at Lake Whatcom. Chairmen for the various committees have been appointed. and are as follows: Echo Oxford, assembly; Bob McConnell and Kenny Selander, dance; Betty Swisher, tickets; Dick Hudson, transportation; Dale Courtney, food; Erman Holtzheimer, boxing bouts, and Bob White, publicity. Elaborate preparations are already under way, and Les Higgen-bottom, the general chairman for Campus day, reports that with such efficient and cooperative committee heads working for the success of the event, this promises to be one of the biggest and best Campus days ye*. o Bever Does Resarch Work in London W Club Informal Swings Tonight Gagnon's Revellers Furnish Music for Affair, At Chuckanut Shell Miss Virginia Bever, a former WWC graduate, is now attending the University of London, doing research work in British Admiralty laws for the University of Califor nia. Miss Bever, after receiving her Master's Degree at the University of Washington in 1930, was given a grant by the University of California to do this research work. Miss Bever has made her way brilliantly through her years of schooling. After entering WWC at the age of fourteen, she completed a three-year teaching course in two years. She entered the University of Washington and graduated at the age of seventeen, the youngest student ever to graduate from that institution. While doing her research work for the University of California she is at the same time working for her Doctor's Degree in history. Miss Bever plans to return home sometime in December. o Improvements Made Along with the new improvements that are being made this quarter in the speech department, Dr. Jack Cotton announces the opening of a new speech correction class. Some very Interesting work win be done in the way of laboratory experimentation. There are ten students signed up for the class and they will work with sixty Bell-ingham public school children who have defective speech. By Art Mickel Tonight is the nigtit to swing your latest gal friend to the music of Gagnon's Revellers at the Chuckanut Shell where the W club is holding its annual spring informal. . Patrons need not be afraid of not having a new Easter bonnet or the latest in sport apparel, because neither of these two will be appropriate. Corsages and sport suits will not be in order at this year's W club informal. Attractive programs in the shape of a blue W will be obtainable in the main hall this afternoon. Each couple will receive two programs; these programs will act as tickets, and no one will be admitted to the informal on one program alone. Both must be shown to the doorman upon entering. "Students who have not arranged for transportation should see me this afternoon in the main hall," states Chet Dombroski, W club president. "We will furnish transportation from the College Inn to the Shell between 8:30 and 9:00 o'clock tonight." The W club advisers, Sam Car ver, Sam Ford (life member of the W club), Chuck Lappenbusch and Loye McGee, will be reinforced by two other faculty members in the persons of Dr. Cederstrom and Don Bushell. "We expect a large turnout tonight, even if today is Good Friday," remarked Dombroski. Klipsun Distributing Date Is Set For Late May Educators Attend Conference In Nearby City Educators rrom all parts of the state and from Vancouver, B. C, as well, are meeting in Seattle for the Washington Study Conference on Progressive Education which opened Thursday for a three-day session. The conference is sponsored by the Progressive Education Association. Dr. Boyd H. Bode, professor of education at Ohio State university, will be the conference leader. He will speak at all general sessions and will confer with leaders of the various study groups which have been arranged for teachers of each school level. C. Paine Shangle, superintendent of schools at Bellingham, will be one of the regional chairmen, and members of the faculty who planned to attend this conference include: Miss Emma Erickson, Miss Lucy Kangley, Paul R. Grim, Miss Pearl Merriman, Miss Synva Nichols, Miss Katherine Casanova, Miss Priscilla Kinsman, Miss Hazel Plympton, Miss Elsie Wendling, and Miss E. Wilma Trent. By Barbara Boothe "Education for the masses has really proved the backbone of the success of the Scandinavian countries during this world-wide depression." That was the opinion of Major James Sawders, lecturer of last Tuesday's assembly. "Many people," he continued, "feel that the credit for the prosperity of these countries is due to the wide-spread cooperative movement; however, this movement would never have been successful if the people had not so thoroughly understood the country and its problems." Continuing about the educational system, Major Sawders said, "The average age for stopping school is 15 years; however, at that age they have received a more liberal and complete education than Am-ricari students have at 18 or 19 years." When asked as to whether or not he felt a similar cooperative system would solve the problems for ^iiis country,. Major . Sawders .saift. that he did not think it would, because this country is so large and there are so many cosmopolitan groups who are not in a position to benefit from a system which is primarily for an agrarian country. Speaking of the Scandinavian people, Major Sawders expressed his high regard for them and their hospitality. "I think they are swell," was the major's expression. "They don't look on Americans as merely a source of money like so many foreigners do; they think we are pretty fine, too. Major Sawders, a graduate of Carnegie Tech and Harvard university, has traveled extensively in Brazil as well as in the Scandinavian countries. He plans to continue his tours in England and Scotland next year, taking pictures and studying the people. : o "Klipsun", WWC's year book, will be published and presented to the students on May 31. 750 annuals have been ordered and according to Miss Reasoner all those students who have not enrolled for the full three quarters should come to the Klipsun office and pay. the balance^ if they wish to receive an annual. One dollar is taken from the fees each quarter for three quarters until the book is paid for. The work on the "Klipsun" is progressing rapidly and the junior, senior summaries will soon be completed with only two activity choices for each student. The "big ten", or the most popular boys and girls in school, is also being written up. The covers of the annual will be dark blue with gold embossing. Shirley Shannon is a newly appointed member of the staff. o — Valkyrie Sponsors Sport Dance Harmony Masters Coming Tuesday University of Washington Dance Group Bring Students; Negro Quartet Are Artists A settlement has been reached between the unions and the salmon packing companies and it is expected that ships will leave for Alaska in a couple of days. Both Libby McNeil and Pacific American Fisheries will send three ships. The North King, however, will be the first to leave. The ship is now in Seattle. Initial plans for the Valkyrie sports dance were announced at a special meeting called Tuesday afternoon, April 12. The dance will be held in the small ballroom of the Bellingham hotel, April 29. Each member of the Valkyrie has the privilege of inviting one girl as her guest. The admission price will be eighty-five cents a couple. At a meeting prior to that of last Tuesday's, the' annual election of officers took place. The new Valkyrie heads are: vice-president, Echo Oxford; secretary-treasurer, Arlene Dickinson; social chairman, Virginia Helms; program chairman, Virginia Fegley. An announcement was made of the decision of the.Interclub Council that the Valkyrie officers would receive activity points hereafter, as do the other clubs on the campus. b Vanadis Bragis Discuss Favorite Literature Former Dormitory Cook Dies At Portland Henry Hendrickson, former cook at Edens hall, passed away last Saturday morning at the Veterans' hospital in Portland, ---------- Western Viking - 1938 April 15 - Page 2 ---------- WESTERN WASH^ ;f^#^^iifciM^ The Western Viking Established 1899 "published every Friday except during the months of August, and September by the Associated Students, Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham.

Brunettes Preferred WWC students seem to have decided preferences concerning desirable qualities in the opposite sex. They prefer either blondes, brunettes, or redheads. After an extensive survey of representative students, much valuable information was gathered. Of those interviewed, 80 per cent favored brunettes, 65 per cent hankered after blondes, and 21 per cent put their money on redheads. The remainder weren't particular. I n case you don't believe the above report, we have included a few choice interviews with some of WWC's leading citizens. These included Maxine Moldrem, Jean Carver, Vern Liedle, Miles Popovich, and Karl Margraf. The interviews r a n somewhat as follows: QUESTION: Which do you prefer, blondes, brunettes or redheads? Maxine: Brunettes. Jean: Blondes or brunettes. Vern Blondes. Pop: Redheads. QUESTION: Why? Maxine: Because I always wanted to be one. Jean: Call of the wild. Vern: Because of the light overhead. Pop: Redheads h a v e more "umph." Karl: Because they're all gals. QUESTION: Name one in particular. Maxine: I'll take either Vern Liedle or Ralph Vogel. Jean: Space does not permit. Vern: Maxine Moldrem. Pop: Ruthelen Garvin. Karl: What's good enough for Pop is good enough for me. By P. L. G. Spring may come and absolutely demoralize us with longings for the great outdoors, a penchant for poetry and a distinct distaste for any hint of labor, but Questions and Answers seem forthcoming regardless of season! Questions 1. Who made the cleverest pun of the week? 2. Why is the Klipsun being called a Chamber of Commerce edition? 3. What is the date set for the publication of Klipsun this year? 4. What is Mr. Boson's favorite sport? 5. Where have Maxine Moldrem and Shirley Rogers spent this past week and why? Big-game hunters have many narrow escapes in their work, test "pilots very seldom remain unscathed for long, and a. high rigger in a logging camp is fortunate if he lives to be forty. Dangerous! Yes-^- maybe, but relatively safe compared with making a safe entrance into and exit from the reserve room of yori library. The outer doors of the Palace of Books are safely negotiated by all comers—the doors are transparent and swing at the rate of an inch a year, so there is no chance for injury due to haste except such possible minor casualties as a dislocated shoulder. The doors to the main reading room upstairs are likewise free from peril to the pedestrian, since the port holes in them permit one to keep a weather eye upon for oncoming derelicts. So far so good, but now the danger spot, the Waterloo, the rendezvous with the Grim Reaper—the reserve room. What with the. gates swinging both ways like a flag in a gale, it is something of a miracle each time another prospective victim of the massive oaks escapes. If a couple of Lappy's pet tackles happen to push at the same time on opposite sides of a door—I shudder to think of what would happen. At certain hours the reserve room's turnover approaches a Saturday night's rush for the bathroom at Barton's or lunch time at Viking Manor—those are the times one can consider himself lucky to be alive. What do I suggest as a remedy? Well—new doors could be put in if Babb Gould could harmonize them with the rest of the Romanesque surroundings. Or peep holes could be put in the portals we do have to facilitate traffic control. Perhaps fixing the doors so they could swing but one way—one in and one out, might be another possible escape from the dilemma. —N. Y. A Poetry The Stroller Thru The Lobby With Earl Eckert ."ALAF" Turbulent, strange, queer world. Water gnaws its way across the countryside, drenching all life. Miles lie panting; blistering in sun's torrid rays. Sharp gales blast patches of ocean's surface, Deep stillness and peace becalm great racing schooners. Kings ride in wealth festooned with glamor, The beggar crowds squalid, stinking hovels. Those great sit steeped in pedantry, The mediocre grope blindly upward. Over all men's hearts love tramps ruthlessly— Starving one, satiating another. Life's melody Floats on. —Pat Green. New possibility in the world of music: the Stroller has been thinking of getting up a duet with Pete Carlson; his shoes squeak in tenor. Mine have developed a squeak that leans heavily toward the bass. Anyone developing a clear baritone, apply, and maybe we can work up a concert—perhaps accompanied by shoehorns.

Those students who saw the Guild Play last Wednesday night probably saw WOODROW TROTTER and his latest girl friend, BEE ARMSTRONG, together.

Also, it was reported that the traditional faculty-student soft-ball game will be dropped from this years program. Ralph Neil reported on a tentative survey of five insurance policies for the WWC cabuyTand equipment at Lakewood. According to Neil the best and most practical policy which would give coverage of one thousand dollars would cost approximately twenty-five dollars per year in premiums. Definite action will not be taken until further investigation has been made. o Alkisiah Initiates Fifteen Members At a candlelight ceremony fifteen new members were initiated into the Alkisiah club on Monday, April 4.

He decided to transfer to Washington, from whence Senor Lappen-busch stepped into the picture. . . . Girias also propped at O'Dea, and played frosh fullback and guard at the "U" last year . . . . he has a swell build for either position . . . . is a track man, too, turning out for low hurdles . . . .

It gets harder and harder to get scoops since that bounder, Don Gooding, started his column in the Herald. . . . yes, Gooding is the author of that budding little piece, "Local Sports Shots" . . . . Johnny Dorcy, inimitable idiot of the Frosh intramural basketball team, is managing a Community League ball club, the Southsiders. . . . I guess he wants to play regularly. . . .

Chase, who regularly plays number two, was not in Saturday's fray, and his loss undoubtedly handicapped the Vikings. Jacobson shot a 78, making all WWC's points. Wheaton, of the Country club, shot a 74, which was the lowest score of the day. Despite their defeat the Vikings are awaiting a return match in which they hope for revenge.

Bank Biggest—Richest—Thickest Milkshakes 15c HARDWICK'S Lads and lassies in this institute are prematurely ready for aquatic indulgence, swimming to youse guys. The indoor swimming pool will not be the only one utilized that is not for the more hardy personages. After all, outdoor waters vary little in temperature the year around, but the atmospheric conditions are a trifle cool outside the summer months. However, one cannot expect too much; nothing ventured nothing gained as it were. Besides the climate is getting more tropical in the great Northwest. Evidences of this are to be found in the fact that octopi and shark are becoming less rare in our waters. Added to this is the fact that our latest winter here was very mild indeed. Of course, the psychological effect of swimming under cool circumstances is rather discouraging. Nevertheless, if old Sol is on the job and the winds are quiet, the conditions are pretty much the same as those in the good old summer time. Even in pluvial weather the conditions are not so unfavorable due to the small differences in atmospheric and aquatic temperatures. It sems, however, that a brisk rub with a man-sized bath towel, a roaring fire, and cup of boiling coffee, or suitable substitutes are always welcome after a dip in the briny deep.

Because we abolished all awards— letters, sweaters, all-stars, and the like. It was all thrashed out at that tea last Thursday.

Al Kurbitz, financial boss of the Bellingham Chinooks, new entrants in the Western International league, thinks he has a baseball club that will not only revive local interest in the national pastime but also take Bellingham out of the doldrums and make it a baseball-minded town. Two factors, the Chinooks' spring training record—two smashing victories over the Hollywood Stars, of the Pacific Coast league, and a couple of whitewashes over two minor California nines—along with the acquisition of Wes Schulmerich, former big league and Coast league star and leading hitter of the W. I. league last year, should enrich Bellingham's possibilities. Inauguration of this city's departure from semi-professional ball will be the highlight next week when the Chinooks open their current season against the Sacramento | Senators in an exhibition game.

Drop in anytime and ask for *Staggs" SEARS-ROEBUCK CO. BELLINGHAM With the season close at hand, the first signs of team activity takes place next Thursday and Friday when an intrasquad track meet will be held out on the Waldo track. This will give Coach Sam Carver his first peek at the boys under the strain of competition. The two captains, Danny Gagnon of the Blues, and Maynard Howatt of the Whites, will choose their teams from the list of men turning out, lettermen included, on Monday. Thursday's events to be run off include the mile, 100-yard dash, 440 run, 220 hurdles, pole vault, javelin, and the shotput. On Friday Carver has lined up the 880, 120 high hurdles, 2-mile, 200 yard dash, high jump, discus, broad jump, and the relay. The starting time on both days will be 3:15 p. m. The liniment users who have shown up well in early workouts are Anderson in the 440; Bell in the mile; Bever, shot; Crawford, discus; Ellis, 880; Eyer, pole vault; Smith, shot; Sarles, javelin; Tisdale, hurdles; Vogel, 880; and M. Zylstra, mile. Two newcomers, Girias and Fre-chin, both from Renton, are real prospects, the former in the low hurdles and the latter in the javelin. Carver praised the work of Frechin, saying that he was the best javelin tosser WWC has had since Jack Kemphaus threw the spear five or sifc years ago. Carver also reported that he had an offer from his ace ex-pupil, Norman Bright, to run an exhibition two-mile at the CPS meet April 29, but as the meet is to be in Tacoma and not here, as he had expected, Bright rescinded his offer. o Greatest of feminine triumphs is that old fashioned Gibson girl style which is coming back into popularity for spring.

Starting this year's tennis, matches with a trip to Pacific Lutheran college in Tacoma on next Tuesday,. April 19, the WWC team will enter into what is probably one of the best and most difficult tennis schedules that it has ever had. Following this trip the boys in the ice cream pants make trips to four or five other schools including a four-day trip into Oregon to play Linfield college, Pacific university, and Willamette U. Willamette U wanted to arrange for matches here and at Vancouver, but seems unable to come to terms with the University of British Columbia. Tentative arrangements had also been made with the U. of W. varsity, Mount Vernon J. C, and with the TJ. of W. Frosh, but these have been given up because of financial difficulties.

Miss Cummins, instructor of sociology at WWC, was immediately jailed as a trouble-maker and .bail was set at $111,000,000.89. Ray Anthony, proprietor of the Dog House stated,- "It was one of the best fights I've ever seen. Everything started when Bill McDonald drove up with his pet monkey. Jeff. Miss • Cummins thought it very inhuman to keep the animal on a leash." According to one spectator. Miss Cummins made a remark to the effect that perhaps Mr. McDonald wouldn't treat the monkey so cruelly if he knew he were directly related to the ape family. Apparently Bill didn't like the inference. Miss Cummins insisted that everyone is descended from the ape family, and the fight began. ' Mr. McDonald is now at St. Luke's - Hospital suffering severe bruises and cuts from the shellacking given him by the sociology teacher. No charges were made against Mr. McDonald since Miss Cummins had struck the first blow with a solid right to the bicuspids. Bored of Education Begins New Job The Bored of Education, filling the place of the recently abolished Board of Control, has finally been appointed. Members of this "Bored" are: June (Prom Princess) Danielson, \who says, "I'd rather be rich;." Don Jones, who says, "I'd rather be beautiful;" President Haggard, who says, "I'd rather be president;", and Dr. Hicks who .chews at the gag in his mouth and says nothing.-. The, first/serious action taken by the Bored of Education was an inspection of the Student Lounge. The Bored members agreed that Gerry (Bubbles) Woodward should be com- •i mended for her.part in the Lounge's floor show as should Ricky Lurie, '; who is the finest bartender.

Arntzen. WWC professor of Economics. Prosecutor Kangley. without the slightest trace of mercy, unfolded the whole sordid affair before the eyes of the trustees. Charging Arntzen with extra-curricular activities such as. a toe dancer in the chorus line of an eating joint of questionable repute. Kangley immediately called Arntzen to the stand. Placing his hand on a copy of Gimbell and Blodgett's "Principles of Economics." Arntzen was duly sworn in. *" Dancing Pays Debt "It's the usual old story your honor." he began, "drink and women were the couse of my downfall. My home life hasn't been any too good since I lost my shirt on some oil well stock, so lately I've been keeping company with a doll named Powers, and we stopped into this road house to get a couple bottles of orange pop. Man. how I do love that stuff. Only when I put my hand into my pocket to pay the check all I could find was my fingers. Naturally I was so mortified that I almost fell through a hole in my pants and by the time I had • regained my composure they had me in a costume and I was doing a. dance to pay my check. I really brought down the house though." Kangley threw up her hands in disgust, but as she. turned a newspaper, open to the want ad section, fell from her pocket. Neatly circled was the ad "Wanted, Good bartender to work nights, 5-12 p. m." Arntzen was acquitted. •• SLICK CHICK, AIN'T I? son. "I'll take mine straight," says Don Jones. ROMANCE ROAD PROJECT STARTS Sehome Hill's famed cowpath is now being constructed into a beautiful, pav,ed, four-lane highway. With the combined forces of the State Highway Department and Lapp's football muscle-men working-long hours toward its completion; the gigantic highway, which will prove to be one of the most important engineering feats in the United States, is well underway. • For some time the great necessity for this project has been a subject of much discussion among students of WWC, but until the present time nothing has been done about it. During the,Inter-club council meet-, ing. held Saturday night at the" Chuckanut Shell, final plans concerning the highway were drawn up. The council tfeels it is quite justified in this undertaking and is-confident that students will soon have .none of their former difficulty in getting, through the congested traffic. Renshaw Cools After Rampage Reports from Sedro-Woolley give evidence that. Dr. Renshaw' was peaceful .yesterday evening and this morning after going on a rampage in the institution. Although he did very little damage, he caused a de- THIS AIN'T RENSHAW IT'S WOODRING pressing attitude to reign among many of the other patients by telling them that they were not really crazy. Dr. Abnormal G. Schizophrenia, head of the institute stated, "Renshaw has been moody lately, but we had no .idea that a mental storm was brewing. He is generally very cunning. From what we can conclude about .the case, it seems that he was after some person named Dockeray, probably an hallucination which has been bothering him." Dr. Schizophrenia added that Renshaw has been content today. He just lies, quietly in his strait jacket and padded cell.

Effective this afternoon at 4:00 p. m. all classes of Western Washington College of Education will be suspended for an indefinite, period. According to Dr. Merle Kooder, big wheel in the Registrar's Office, this action was brought about as a result of petty griping by senior teachers. Their current grief is that they have not been paid in over two months.

Cederstrom Gives "Bjp On Reading Books Worry-warts of comp classes to be. won't have to worry any more. President W. W. Haggard has announced that the campus library will be closed, because of student eye-trouble, sealed up, fumigated to kill off the book worms, and reopened as a museum for all those who wish to pay the admission price of one thin dime. Since there will be no more books, the teachers of the English Department have decided to dispense with the grueling ordeal of standing over comp 41 classes with a shot gun, trying to get them to turn in their English term papers. Dr. M. P. Cederstrom was in doubt whether it Would be better to liquidate the students or the term papers, but by a majority vote the English department ruled term papers out, with the passing of the library. The only sour note in the program is what to do with Herbie Hearsey. As the librarian of the institution, when it goes, he will be out of a job. In order to solve this problem, students are asked by President Haggard to please contribute their ideas as to what should be done with Mr. Hearsey. A ballot box will be placed in the main hall for all suggestions. Chucky Says: I'm Feelin' Mighty Low If you're an athlete having grade trouble, drop in and see me.

XXXVII—NO. 40 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, August 5, 1938 By Charles Kilbourne CLIPPER CLIPPED Our guess is that Pan-American officials are tearing their hair for more reasons than the loss of a Clipper. It is the unfavorable publicity more than anything else. Unfavorable publicity is the chief bugbear of the best of airlines. The fault is due in no small part to the newspapers. If a hundred people are killed in one day in automobile accidents it will be necessary to search the back pages of the paper to find the barest mention of the fact. But let a dozen people be lost in over a million miles of commercial flying and the story will be plastered over the front page of every newspaper in the country. Now that the legislative bodies of this country are at their wits end trying to figure out new "painless" taxes, we would like to present our latest brain-child. Why not have a tax on beauty? (for women, of course). The joker would be to let each woman assess her own charms. Such a tax would be cheerfully paid, and Would prove very productive. BARGAIN Anyone who plans to be here this fall and is interested in free transportation should buy a share in Os-gert, the Kitchen Krew "car." It is planned to incorporate the machine. One and a half shares are for sale. Each share costs seven dollars but can be divided into any number of parts. (Pd. Adv.) Several powerful factions are reported to be interested in this stock. It is rumored that President Fisher is dickering for one-sixteenth of a share, and if he is he had better snap it up, because Gertrude Long-ley is trying to get a corner on the market.

The two assembly artists for Tuesday and Friday of next week are no exceptions. Publicity for Ariel Rubstein, Russian pianist, says he has been acclaimed as one of the world's greatest pianists by both European and American critics. His career has been one success after another, and for six years he was director of a large New York conservatory. He has written for Ziegfeld and for two years directed a chamber music program over the Columbia network. Ariel "Rubstein appeals in Tuesday's program. No less a luminary is Ellen Reep, distinguished Norwegian-American contralto. Europe and Salzburg resounded with her sterling, voice; America did likewise. She has appeared in Carnegie hall, and with the Philadelphia Philharmonic orchestra, and this fall is scheduled to make a debut at the Town hall concert. Ellen Reep will constitute next Friday's assembly. A sidelight to Miss Reep's appearance is the fact she was once a student of WWC, seeking to be a history teacher and turning out to be, instead, a singer. The titian-haired operatic star is well remembered by President Fisher and many of the faculty. o WOOD CARVING IN EBONY By BETTY BOWDISH Helping unknown artists and introducing them to the public is one of the most important services of the Federal Arts Projects, state headquarters of which is in the Maritime building in Seattle, under the direction of R. B. Inverority. To secure aid an artist must apply to the WPA for work. If he is accepted, he presents samples of his work to Mr. inverority. If his work shows possibilities and his talents are usable he will be put to work on one of the many projects. Some artists make lithographs, woodblocks, murals, water colors, ceramics, wood carvings, mosaics, and colored stencils. All of the work is done in the studio at headquarters. Another branch of the department is the making of a record of drawings of American design such as early glass, dishes and toys. These designs are perfect. copies. It is to be hoped that sometime these designs can be copied in glass, wood and pottery and placed in public schools so that children will have reproductions of original early American examples of art. Federal headquarters for the west are in San Francisco, where there is a large exposition on display at all times. At the present time an attempt is being made to establish another Washington state headquarters at Spokanei The work which is done by the artists is presented as a permanent loan to public insti- Prexy Attends Meetings Of State Boards •SEAL"—P. L. Cunningham Money Apportioned ToNYAFund Inspection Trips Complete Series of Hikes NERVY You have to hand it to those Roosevelts. It being a rainy day in Romney, West Virginia, Mrs. R. walked into the fashionable New Century hotel and asked (and got) permission to eat her picnic lunch there. Only one member of the party used a knife and fork—the sissy! The rest used fingers. All those who march on the side of Rugged Individualism vs. the Rugged Roosevelts had better put their ruggedness to that acid test. Let them march into a hotel, carrying their own grub, and eat it there with their fingers. So effective has been the long campaign for safety first that today one looks in the financial columns for railroad wrecks. "To complete our series of hikes and excursions this summer, two inspection trips are being planned for next week," states Dutch Wilder of the Recreation office. On Monday, August 8, trips will be made to the pulp and paper mills. Lists have been posted on the bulletin board, and any student wishing to participate in these inspection tours, is urged to sign his name. Since it would be difficult for too large a number to observe these plants, it is hoped that not more than thirty persons will go on each trip. These groups will leave the campus at 4:15 and as no regular transportation has been provided, as many as possible should bring cars. No lunches will be taken, —O : :• Rec Hour Friday Night; Jay Curtis Flays Three hundred thousand students in the United States will be provided with part time work for the next nine months, under auspices of the NYA. An allocation of $21,750,000 was made recently, according to Rec hour, probably the last of the quarter, will be held in the Elementary School gym from 9 to 11 this evening. Jay Curtis' orchestra will furnish the music. Lois Barnard, head of sponsor committee, announced that Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Bond, Mr. L. A. McGee, and Miss Ruthelen Garvin would be present as faculty representatives. Audrey Williams, official head of the organization, and it will be divided so that $9,836,407 will go to high school students and $11,913,- 593 to colleges and for graduate aid. The money will be divided into nine monthly allotments, beginning August 14. High school students will receive a maximum of $6 a week, not working more than seven hours a day on non-school days and three hours a day on school days, or twenty hours a week. College students may receive a maximum of $20 a month and cannot work more than eight hours a day on non-school days or thirty hours a week. Graduates may receive a maximum of $40 a month.- o Registration Given For Last Half Atwood Declares Posts Vacant; State Action Deemed Illegal; difficulties Await Court Appeal Continued on Page Three. o Thirteen Teaching Appointments Made This Week "WWC enrollment this summer is the largest since the depression," said President C. H. Fisher in an interview yesterday. The total summer enrollment is 1007. Of this number 700 are attending during this last half. There are about fifty now enrolled who were not here the first half of the summer. While usually only about 55 per cent of those here the first half stay through the summer, there is 68 per cent staying on this year. It is thought that the shortened term induced many students to stay who would have propped but under the old system. Ninety per cent of the present student body is doing upper division work. Of these, 53 are graduates, 430 are seniors, and 362 are juniors. Thirty-three of the 39 counties in Washington are represented at WWC. From the outside 200 students represent 18 different states. Oregon leads with 73. There are 15 from Alaska. A list of the most recent teaching positions to be obtained by WWC graduates, has been issued by Miss Elizabeth Hopper of the Appointment bureau. Thirteen more persons have had applications accepted and received placement. Those placed in the lower grades are: Frances Pelegren, grades 1, 2, and' music at Nooksack; Betty Swisher, grades 1 and 2 at Sequim; Louise Bryson, third and fourth grades at East Stanwood; Florence Nederlee, second grade at Port Townsend; Helen Carlyle, first four grades at Allen; Opal Robb, grades 5, 6 and music at Washougal; Lor-inda Ward, grades 5 and 6 at Washougal; Margaret Bennett, fifth and sixth grades at Toutle Lake; and Margaret Greely, grades 4 to 6 at Chinook. Others to secure placement were: Mary Denton, a rural, school at Electron; Vernet Wallgren, music and orchestra at Kalama; Lois Mendenhall, seventh grade at Sequim; and Pearl Ahre, Victor school in Mason county. -— o Klipsun Editor Issues Call For Snaps As a member of both the State Board of Education and the State Board for Vocational Education, President C. H. Fisher attended meetings of these boards in Olympia last Wednesday, July 27. Although these two boards are separate from each other, the members in both cases are the same. BOARD BALKS Declaring that the State Board for Vocational Education did not take the proper action according to his recommendations. S. F. Atwood, state superintendent of public instruction, announced that the positions of supervisors would be vacant after August 1. Superintendent Atwood made several recommendations to the board, regarding the budget, supervisors of vocational education and the fixing of salaries. Because the board failed to take proper action according to his recommendations, he considered that the matter had been dealt with illegally. In commenting on the meeting, President Fisher stated, "Since the majority and minority groups of the board differ so widely on most questions, it is difficult to make any decisions. The difficulties in the board will probably not be solved until there is court action." The positions declared vacant by Superintendent Atwood are those of supervisors in agriculture, home economics, and trades and industries. CERTIFICATES CUT The problem before the meeting of the State Board of Education was the granting of certificates. Regarding teachers certificates to graduates of teachers colleges, liberal arts colleges, and universities outside the state, the board expressed the opinion that they could ---------- Western Viking - 1938 August 5 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, August 5, 1936 The Western Viking Established 1899 Published every Friday except during the month of September by the Associated Students, Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham.

In recounting the developments in the probable federal grand jury investigation of the American Medical Association's fight against a District of Columbia cooperative health group, the newspapers this past week have focused attention on one of the leading social issues before the American people— cooperative medicine. First appearing in the form of industrial clinics, cooperative medicine has steadily forged ahead. In a few localities these industrial clinics, which for the most part are corrupt, are being replaced by consumer-cooperatives which are actually building their own hospitals and hiring their own doctors on a yearly salary. At Springfield, Ohio, a cooperative hospital has successfully cared for its members for a period of ten years on from twenty to forty dollars yearly per family. State medicine, prevalent in the Scandinavian countries, is hailed by many as a coming thing in the United States. At the present organized medicine is the greatest obstacle to cooperative or state medicine. Replying to a charge that the American Medical Association broke the anti-trust laws while opposing the District of Columbia cooperative, the association issued the statement: "Apparently it remains to be determined whether or not the federal administration can use the laws and the courts to mould the people of the United States to its belief in every phase of life and living, or whether or not fundamental principles of common justice which have prevailed in this country in the past are to be relegated into the limbo of forgotten things." WWCE, August 4, 1938 Dear Sis: I am dejected. I shall never be a success, I guess. I was given a duty to perform, and I failed. You know I've been doing a little news-writing on the side, this summer. Well, the editor gave me Buddy Rogers to cover last night, and I couldn't. Of course, it wasn't really all my fault. The time element was mostly to blame, but what will I say when the boss thunders, "Where's that story?" I could tell him there were two microphones, four horns, a large number of Canadians, and a baby, but I don't think that's just what he wanted. You see there was such a mob I got only as near as ten people to Buddy, and I didn't think it would be polite to shout, "Have you seen Mount Baker? Is Swing here to stay? What hotel are you at? How's your polo? and Why didn't your wife come?" across their heads. I decided finally to accost him behind the bandstand when it was all over at 1 o'clock, but Sis, would you believe it, they played the Star Spangled Banner and left at 12:30. People stood gasping with surprise in the middle of the floor. He waved good-bye to us, and I waved good-bye too—to my job. He may be somebody's Lucky Star, but to me he's just a horrorscoop! Love, SUSAN. P. S.—He was awfully good-looking, tho. Wooing Places — Where? By the time any normal persons reach the age of attending college, they should have sufficient common sense to manage their amours respectably. Love-making—which I grant is essential to the continued revolution of the earth—should be carried on in the confines of intimacy and be secluded from the common view of the public. In the event that mutual devotion between two people is so fervid that it cannot be concealed, it should at least be modified to the degree of digestability for the disgusted spectators. And most important, "petting" should never be done in public meeting places. Unfortunately, observance of the above rules is not practiced in our school assemblies. At any time during our assemblies, one may see to his displeasure the juvenile act of loving couples wrapped in the throes of love. For the sake of fellow students, would these contemporary Romeos and Juliets declare a moratorium on wooing? We other folksTare interested in the performers on the stage, not m watching amateur cuddlesome duets. C. T. o Thru The Lobby GRAND Saturday through Tuesday: Undoubtedly the most intriguing novelty in motion picture production that has been filmed in many a day is "WHEN WERE YOU BORN?" Solving a murder mystery by the ancient science of astrology is the novel theme of this melodrama with ANNA MAY WONG, MARGARET LINDSAY and a host of others. "AIR DEVILS" is a constantly exciting comedy-drama of life and love on a glamorous South Sea island. Thrills, laughs and breath-taking action are interspersed with scenes of sheer romantic glamour.

That old Egyptologist produces a riot of laughter in the role of an archeol-ogist who never gets closer to Egypt than Jersey City in "PROFESSOR BEWARE." "CRIME RING" is far more than a fortune-telling picture! It deals with actual criminal conditions in cities today, conditions which largely affect women, young people and the credulous, readily led, easily deluded elements of population. ALLAN LANE and FRANCES MERCER give a thrilling performance. Forum Lives there a student with soul so dead, Who never to himself has said, To heck with studies I'm going to bed. Campi Coast to Coast Dr. Channing Frothingham, one of the very few A. M. A. "rebels," takes an opposite stand. He says, "Organized medicine is making an awful mistake by not following die trend of public opinion in medical and hospital insurance plans." Speaking of the grand jury investigation, W. C. Kirkpatrick, president of Group Health Association, said that whatever the legal outcome, "it will undoubtedly have a remedial effect on the solution of the problem . . ." American public opinion will play a^part in the outcome of this "remedial *¥BcL" '* i s t i m e *° become informed—to take a stand—* gt;n this important social issue. ——- -o .

"It should be a good idea for everyone to come back to school and get their ears slapped down after being out in business a while." Businessman Julius F. Stone, Jr., forsakes business for a term, and tells why he returned to Harvard for more education. When students in the math classes at Southwestern State Teachers college learn rules but cant apply them, the teacher reminds them of the old woman who sold eggs. She could tell fresh ones from spoiled ones by placing them in water, but she forgot which kind would float. Marriage courses of some kind are offered in 211 of the 672 colleges and universities in the United States. The courses deal with material ranging from budget systems to sex hygiene. Grandfather had a farm Father had a garden . Son has a can opener. Some of the exams these profs hand out to test a person's intelligence are—(according to the latest low-down, on the stuff, and I read some of it in a book) certainly not reliable. I am thinking of one instructor in this institution who gives tests that are plenty long, believe me, but that have so much repetition in them that I have an old-fashioned headache after the first hour. I believe that this condition can be remedied. If the tests were shortened a bit, and the items were made a bit more comprehensive, we could probably use our test time to a better advantage. How many times have you and I deliberated over a true-false question trying to decide just what the statement means. So many of them are indefinite—and take a lot of time to figure, out. After all, does this condition not reduce the amount of reliability? I believe that the average student is a capable judge of the worth of his own work. When a person attends classes regularly, studies into the wee hours of the morn', expects a B grade, takes a test, gets a flunk, who's wrong, the student, who couldn't remember the Egyptian name for bathtub, and such stuff, or the teacher who asks such inane questions? It all comes under the head of curricular validity. Quite frequently a student gets off on the wrong foot because he doesn't quite catch the instructor's point of view. The foregoing has just been a build-up to this— Why don't the professors in this college proper take a few pains in making out their tests. After all, they are supposed to be finding out how much a person knows in relation to the subject taught. I am sure that teachers would learn something of great value if they took a course in the measurements of education (by extension, maybe). Teachers should be compelled to brush up on their examination techniques. When that is accomplished, it will be a student's paradise. He can cram for a test by soaking up the most important facts—not the insignificant details, and it will really do some good. Finally, the reliability would probably be more accurate.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are most happy to introduce to you this •week two former students of WWC who have returned to these halls of learning this summer. . . . One is a graduate of 1936 and one of 1935. . .. One may show you a tangible result of a liking to build things and the other is interested in hiking. . . . Erving Easton Although a possessor of a degree in education, Erving Easton will attend the University of Washington next year where he will probably earn degrees in other fields and possibly a M a s t e r's. A WWC graduate of 1935, he has been teaching ever since with one year spent at each of the f o l l o w i n g schools: Friday Harbor, Toke-land and Taho-lah. After a year at the university he wishes to teach high school, handling either mathematics or industrial arts. Mr. Easton and Maud Campbell, who also graduated in 1935, were married about two years ago, and they are to be found most any day in their trailer home, which is the highly satisfactory result of a liking to build things on the part of Mr. Easton and willing aid on the part of Mrs. Easton. o : Librarian Meets Uliin In London Carol Allen Interested in the art of hiking, Carol Allen, one of the many teachers attending school this summer quarter, has been a participant in many of the recreational hikes offered to students the past six weeks. She n u m b e r e d among t h o se who trekked to the top of Mt. Baker, and we find her quite enthus i a s t i c about it. Miss Allen is a WWC graduate of the year 1936, and has spent the two intervening years in the capacity of a teacher of the intermediate grades. The first year she taught at Ocean Park, and this coming year will find her behind the same desk as the past year, in the fifth grade room at Monte-sano. Many of you will remember her as the young lady who corrected Dr. Bond's math class papers when she was a regular student here. IRC Discusses Life Of Chiang Mabel Zoe Wilson, librarian, who is traveling in Europe this summer, recently met Miss Anna Ullin, of the WWC English department, in London. After spending July 4 in Paris, Miss Wilson went to London, where she has spent considerable time visiting museums and places of historic interest. Miss Wilson plans to sail for New York on September 12, and she will xesume her position here for the fall quarter. Society Adams-Cotterll Married Secretly Joyce Cotterll, daughter of Mrs. Edith Cotterll, and Norris E. Adams, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Adams, have announced their marriage which had been kept a secret since early July. Mr. and Mrs. Adams were married in Puyallup, and are now on a honeymoon trip to coast cities, after which they will return to make their home in Bellingham. Mrs. Adams is a student at WWC. o Runnals-Thompson Engagement Announced The engagement of Lucille Thompson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Meade Thompson of Bremerton, to Reginald Runnals, son of Mrs. Doughty, of Bellingham, has been announced. Miss Thompson entered the college last fall, after attending Washington State college for three years. Mr. Runnals attended WWC last year, and will enroll again this fall. No date for the wedding has been set. Fisher Files For Superintendent William H. Fisher, son of President C. H. Fisher, recently filed for county superintendent of schools in Yakima county on the Democratic ticket. He attended WWC in 1932 and 1933. He is a graduate of the University of Washington and has been teaching in the Senior High school at Wapato. Earlier in the summer he married Christine Albers of this city, a prominent musician and formerly active in student affairs at WWC. The International Relations club held a meeting in the Edens Hall club room last Tuesday evening Two interesting topics: the life of General Chiang Kai-Shek, and the World Corporate state werie, presented by members with a general dis cussion following. It was concluded that General Kai-Shek, backed by conservatives and liberals aMfee^|te an adroit diplomat and the chielf military strategist of China. The basic principles of the corporate state irrespective of the influence of Fascism as practiced in Italy were studied. As the next regularly scheduled meeting would occur in the final week of the summer quarter, the club decided to convene again next Wednesday.

Journeying to Seattle Wednesday, McGee's soft-ballers took two more swampings from the more experienced Husky ten, by scores of 11-2 and 6-2. The only satisfaction the Vikings received from the defeats was that they scored two runs in each game instead of one as in the doublehead-er played here last week, when the locals lost 5-1 and 13-1. The first game Wednesday started out as if the Vikings would break the Husky jinx. McClerken, first man up, opened with a single, but Turk and Dombroski were easy outs. Then Thorsen walked and Les Williams brought both runners in with a timely one-baser. The rally ended when Baldwin struck out. The "U" came right back in the first and scored six times. Tommer-ick, leadoff man, hit a fluke homer that got over the fielder's head. Three walks off Thorsen, Viking pitcher, and two hits, brought in five more runs—and the game. The game was called in the fifth inning because the U was too far out in front. BALDWIN CONNECTS WWC's two markers in the second tilt' were garnered in the fourth when Baldwin finally came through and hit a double scoring Turk and Dombroski. The McGeemen made three hits.Jn the first and four in; the second game off of Whitmore, ace Husky chucker. Baldwin pitched the last two innings of the second and allowed no balls to be hit out of the infield. THIS AND THAT The games were played on the regular varsity hardball diamond. . . . The U has played 20 games this summer with independent Seattle teams. . . . ..Game Monday: Married men vs. single men—Waldo field. The Vikings who played: McClerken, Turk, Dombroski, Thorsen, Williams, Baldwin, Parko, Kabler, Zyl-stra and Bagley. o Chinooks in Town; Playing Yakima Looking It Over. Thursday night's score— Bellingham 5, Yakima 0. With a series win over the league' leading Yakima Pippins insuring a first division berth, the Bellingham Chinooks have an added incentive to chalk up three wins over their proverbial rivals from eastern Washington, in a series which started last night and is slated to wind up Saturday night. Elmer Bray, only "native son" of the Bellingham club was slated to leave his "universal joint" (tavern) and take the hill for the Chinooks in Ardizoia working tonight and Bill last, night's encounter, with Rugger Fleming tomorrow. Bellingham won two straight from Tacoma after dropping the opener Monday to the Tigers, 2-1 when Pitcher Ray Medeghini hit an eighth-inning home run to win the game for the home team.. Fleming won another the next night, despite wildness, and Jerry Shutt pitched his second straight masterpiece, beating Tacoma, 3 to 1, to give Bellingham the series. Monday the Vancouver Maple By J. CARVER A new chapter is being written in the athletic book this summer at WWC. And Summer Coach "Mac" McGee is the author. Now "Mac" is from New Yawk, having taught in the "big city" for eight years, and his ideas are right up to snuff in newness. He says that back there "they are giving the game back to the boys and putting the coach in the grandstand." Just what he meant by that was demonstrated on the softball diamond. Instead of going out each hot afternoon and telling the boys just how the little game of softball was played, he appointed Zeke McClerken, an old timer at baseball and one who knew the rules, as playing manager, giving Zeke free play in the way he ran the team. Besides giving McGee a chance to catch up on his golf lesson, it exercised the character building qualities of the "athletes." They knew that if they argued with one another, nothing would be done, and thus they worked together, helping each other. McGee's main plan was to teach character, and he hopes he accomplished it by letting the men be on their own. That might be a good idea for junior-high or upper grade school coaches, once the "kids" understand what's going on. MAJOR LEAGUE STATISTICS Facts sometimes set things awry, and when one takes a glance at major league averages, he wonders just what keeps a team up in first place and why such-and-such a team is oozing in the muck of last place. We all know that the Yankees are in first place, but just what is it that keeps them there? The figures show that DiMag, Gehrig Co., are no better than fourth in team batting. Yea, someone says, they have swell fielding. But that's all wrong, too, as the Yanks are way down in fifth in team fielding! That leaves only one solution: They bit in the clutches. More: The Giants are fourth in batting in the National league, fully 20 points behind Cincinnati, the best swatters... The Reds are 10 points ahead of the Pirates, who are second. Will miracles never cease and will figures never stop? The Browns of St Louis are tops in team fielding, and only .001 behind the Giants in team batting, yet the Brownies are dismally imbedded in last place in the standings. Can you explain that? Wait! Here's a clue to the Giants and Yanks high standing. Both lead the league in total runs scored and in home runs, and that extra-base punch and ability to hit when runs are needed is the thing that does it. HARD TO BELIEVE Some record for a major pitcher! Walkup, Browns, won no games and lost 10 before he was given the boot. Lefty Gomez, ace Yankee pitcher, allowed 116 hits in 114 innings with a 6-9 won and lost total. Lou Gehrig is a $40,000-a-year hitter, with a batting average of .283. Harland Clift, who was expected to be the season's outstanding third baseman is limping in at a .261 clip. Those Post stories by Tom Meany and Waite Hoyt on "The National League—A New Minor League" bears weight when the total runs and homers for each league is glanced at. The Nationals had scored 2719 runs and made only 332 homers as compared to the Americans total of 3153 runs scored and 429 homers. But you must remember that the Nats were using the "dead" ball. Those averages included July 21. Go to sleep now. PICKUPS Big George Smith, Lappy's ace end, has been working out with the Chinooks when they are at home. . . . He is a pitcher with a nifty fast ball, but needs more control . . . Boggess didn't make the Seattle trip as he played for the Cascades in the city softball championship series. . . . Wild Bill Harrington, powerful Bellingham hi halfback, and a member of the Cross-State league's all-star team, might pay his fees at WWC this fall, and Lappy won't cry one bit. . . .

W. B. George—Snohomish County. I have had some experience with horseshoes but found them"~a little too dangerous for children under junior high school age. Last spring we had an intramural track meet with the school divided into four sections and pupils from the three upper grades supervising and coaching. Leonard Newquist—Clark County. Last winter we ran off a successful round robin tennis tournament in the gymnasium. Our hardball league found the use of a Junior league ball, and a diamond with dimensions half way between regulation and Junior league size turned out to be a very successful venture. It was much easier on the pitchers, made the game faster and did not increase the danger. "Red" VanOver—Pacific County. We spent a little time on boxing last winter but too much care is necessary to make it worth-while. To develop an individual in this field would require too much time. Also, extra equipment is needed to make boxing successful. Milton Blonden—Whatcom County. Our children who are unable to take part in organized games have access to ping-pong, checkers, and dominos. Facilities for these activities are open to all during free periods. Supervised boxing is open to those interested and high school horseshoe courts are available. Periodic tournaments are held but not on a highly organized basis since major sports occupy the greatest share of the time. 0 Harvard university has discovered that its students are growing taller at the rate of one inch every 32 years. Tesreau Wins Another! Tesreau Adds Highlands Title to Collection—thus screamed a banner head in the Aberdeen paper. Yes sir, Tesreau, ace golfer on Coach Sam Carver's squad, copped his second title this year in the Grays Harbor section, Sunday. He beat out Ray Bramstedt, 5 and 4, to take the Highlands club trophy. Jeff also copped the County title early in June for the second straight year. I The champion made the 32 holes in 127 strokes, two over par. He shot four birdies and an eagle. Tesreau was especially hot on short iron shots. On the 32nd hole, Jeffs tee shot was a good twenty yards off the green, but he pitched within 18 inches of the cup, making a par 3 out of it, and winning the match.

"If elected to office on Board of Control, I will do my best to see that student opinions are thoroughly investigated and considered before I vote on a*ny issue dealing with student of fairs."

Latest reports are that Big Jim Ericksen and "Jughaid" Maricle defeated the Francis-Brockmier team; Gayda boys defeated Purdy and Jack Kelley, and the Gary-Driver team defeated Bud Hale and "Sleepy" MacGilvery. We should be able to announce the champions next week. The plans for the house party Saturday evening are progressing. Jim "J. C." Gilroy is in charge of the food, (and who could be a better man for the job), and he says there is going to be a lot to( eat. We are wondering if we will be fed Ry-Krisp, since that is what Jim has been eating lately, according to his roommate. He's determined that he will lose twenty pounds in the next two months. As you will perhaps see in the sports column, Hospice "B" bowlers defeated their buddies, the Hospice "A" team, last Tuesday. This changed the positions of the two teams. They are now second and third in the league. (From the bottom, that is.) V V DANIELS HALL We could start our own movie production down at Daniel's Hall, if we had a few Lana Turners' and Hedy Lamarrs'. We could fill the male roles very nicely, with the characters we have at the house. Just to show you, here's our list of movie stars: That ever popular fellow with the girls, Charlie Ray Borden as Guy Madison; the two great lovers of the house Dean Amdahl as Charles Boyer, and LeRoy Wade as Errol Flynn. Take a little of Les Wilson's height and give it to Les Winders and the latter will be Fred MacMurray, while Wilson would make a typical Turhan Bey. The two tough guys of the house, John Terry as John Garfield and Joe Roberts as Alan Ladd. Give a little height" to Gordy Smith and Mel Lindbloom and they could portray Van Johnson and Sunny Tufts, while Cliff McCullum would be Clark Gable; Bernard Mcintosh, Gary Cooper, and Ray Polley, Tyrone Power. The musical parts could be handled by Dale Farver as Harry James, and Heine Sorensen as Vaughn Monroe. Stubby Smith could portray Hoot Gibson. The comedy parts could be handled by Bob Clements as Slim Summerville, George Yonlick as Maxie Rosenbloom, Bob Follis as Rags Ragland, and of course, that economical-minded Cot Rice as Jack Benny. Then we have little Jim Beasley as Roddy McDowell. Our producers could be Jess Winders as David O. Selznik, and Lane Woddard as Cecil B. DeMille, and the director would be Amber. Woops, we almost forgot, Ted Holtzheimer as Ray (Lost Weekend) Milland. ' V V SENIOR HALL "Open the door, Richard!" followed by a very puzzled look on the face of Lois Crate left the Senior Hall girls in hysterics last week. Jap Lapp came to dinner and hypnotized four of the girls. Under hypnosis mind you, Shirley Harrison was a very good skier. Jo Knowles was very sad about something and Gladine "Simpy" Simpson was very uncooperative. Thanks, Jay! Professor Cecil Hannon has been elected as a charter member of Senior Hall. His picture is even posted on the bulletin for all the girls to admire. Not bad! Lois Crate, Betsy Peck, Shirley Long, Nancy Arney, June Penn, Phyl Armstrong, and Ty Attwood went skiing this week-end. We believe the worst injury of the quarter was not a broken leg, but Ty Attwood's broken skis. Kindling wood for sale, cheap! We don't like to brag but—we are! We have three princess candidates—the. loveliest on the campus! With the choice of Mimi Anderson, Lois "Puz" King, and Betty Butler, HOW, will the judges ever pick only one Prom Princess? You tell me! ' V V HARBORVIEW i All was tranquil on the Harborview front last week-end. June Danielson, Virginia Zanassi, and Peggy Wood made a quick decision and after literally throwing their things together, took off for home. Gerilynn Shannon, Donelda Johnson, and Dolly McArthur also went home, while Marge Kingsley went to yonder mountain for a very successful ski trip. Both Dolly and Marge came back with beautiful sunburns, Marge's from the mountain sun. Peggy Wood returned home with sparkling eyes and some mumbling about "Baby doll" and "Pumkin". Must be a pretty important man at home . . . Everything seems very normal after such an eventful week-end. There is such an odd stillness in the air after 10:30 p. m. . . . No more of those late hour gab sessions, which is a dandy idea for people who like to study or sleep. Jeanine OUalloran's famous laughter had been quelled, but only after 10:30, then we use adhesive tape! Very effective. Many gentlemen callers halve been astonished greatly by the house rules of the "nut house". The typing of the copy in the front hall has a few minor mistakes. Such as "g's" and "q's" in the word guest. Adhesive tape also is a necessity in young, domestic Colleen Pierce's life . . . she's using it as a thimble.

While searching for elusive books It really takes some ! The weak ones gave out long ago. The stronger still will come. But day by day the ranks are thinned They rest at Steilacoom. Their industry is really forced. The deadline makes this riot. After themes are handed in Peace will reign—and quiet. "I need some help, the cry rings out From a dozen voices strong. "The subject isn't listed here, And the reference book is wrong." "Where are the pamphlets catalogued? And where are books on art? However can I make this list Not. knowing where to start?" "Oh, dear, I should have listened . more To what the teacher said. In library instruction course But I day-dreamed instead." With mournful sounds the room does ring, From souls, who, all unnerved Are searching long without success For books marked "on reserve". The Reader's Guide was used by some Who forgot their lesson rules. The information was not there— It lies, unused, in Pooles. Those lucky ones who found their books Have fallen fast asleep. The information was too dull, The plots were much too deep. Steer clear of comp class forty-one If friends would mind your loss. For if your theme's not in on time. Your goose is served—with sauce.

Last quarter at this time the Alley Cats had the bowling league sewed up while the Hospice team held undisputed first place in the hoop league. * The Seattle College Chieftains announced this week that they would not field a football team next fall and would withdraw from the Winco conference at the end of this school year. The Chieftains were admitted into the conference on the agreement that they would compete in all major sports. • Riding high with twenty-three straight victories and favored for a berth in the" coming state tournament, the Anacortes high school basketball squad is under the guidance of former WWC athlete Richard "Boots" Wooten.

Candidates Ask Support VISIT POLLS WEDNESDAY Voters will go to the polls Wednesday of next week to elect the future members of the Board of Control. This paper has done everything possible for the past few weeks to create interest in this quarter's election. It is your baby now, voters. The whole story is on the front page, pictures of the candidates and all. The procedure is extremely simple. Here is what you have to do: Read the story, look at the pictures, make your choice, and cast your ballot. Now, that is not asking too much, is it? Surely there is no excuse for your neglecting to vote. All we ask is a good representation of the student body at the polls. By a good representation we mean at least sixty per cent of those enrolled. We would indeed be gratified to see a hundred per cent turnout but we realize the difference between wishful thinking and actual fact. CURTAIN RISES Th people who have laid the groundwork for this election have gone to a lot of work to make it possible for you, the voters, to choose your representatives in our system of student government. Are students going to let this hard work go for naught? If for no other reason, vote to show your appreciation of the efforts of those unselfish enough to undertake this thankless task. These people receive no academic credit for their efforts. As a matter of fact, they ask nothing more than the interest of you voters in the selection of candidates whose job in will be to represent those, who vote them into office. Well, there it is in black and white. The stage is set. The curtain rises next week. Will you be there to witness the performance? Remember, a ballot is the only admission required ifiac S fads . . . from dolly Dear R. I. P., Your rather scorching letter, published in last week's paper, was very interesting to me. You bluntly brought out many items, which I have been aware of for some time. As you stated, it is impossible for one person to do a "good" job on a column such as mine without knowing, personally, the whole school. I have tried each week to get new names, new items, and a variety of style into my column but it seems that in your estimation I have failed miserably. Nevertheless, you put your point across very well, and I will see if I can't acquire better coverage and . raise my level of writing a little towards your supreme reading-standard. . Yours truly, MAC. Now to return to that small item of the purpose of this column . . . dirt! Whe roll was called in the nominating convention Tuesday, it was found the two freshman representatives were absent! Everyone wondered where Dick Wright and Gloria Hilliard were, they have been going- around together quite a bit lately, you know! And don't the teachers ever wonder why Shirley Hag-bloom is late to class so much? Could it be that she enjoys the company of Dick Larson more than Home Ec. or Art? They make a very cute "pair" in Music Orientation and Economics. Also heard from some old reliable sources was word of a superb social gathering (brawl to you) at Glen Berry's house, last week-end. More stories, more names, and more dirt coming up next week. With luck! Prof's Private Life A Laff Much has been printed and said concerning the unhappy plight of the followers of the teaching profession lately. For the first time the attention of multitudes is focused on the needs of these teachers. While that attention is focused our way why not hold a school for the education of parents and private citizens as well as their children? The teacher is a professional man as is the doctor or dentist. Yet if parents would regard teachers as they do their family doctor or dentist it would result in more pleasant life for the teachers. A mother doesn't quibble when she presents her child to a doctor that smokes. Nor does she expect him to teach her children in Sunday school, or take on numerous other tasks expected of the teacher. "^ Other professional men have private lives. Why not afford the humble instructor a little more freedom.

BURNET. .........Publications Adviser v / Laced Hearts Have Risen Friday, the 14th of February, brings around (you've guessed it) Valentine's Day. Remember when we were younger (and our dads were on WPA), we would bum enough money from the folks to buy all the kids in the class a valentine, and how the cute little gal across the aisle got the lacy one' you spent a whole dime for; how your heart was broken if you didn't receive one in return. We'll never forget, of course, the comic valentine that teacher received. This one was always unsigned, and for a good reason, too. (Who wanted to stay in the sixth, grade forever?) Big Money But now, Brother, it's gonna cost ya. Try getting away with the old fashioned lacy edged bit of paper with the sweet sentimental verse on it. You'd better bring that heart-shaped box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers, pal, or you'll have an egg-shaped lump on your head and be in the dog house for good. Seriously, St. Valentine's Day is held annually on February 14 in honor of St. Valentine, a-Christian martyr of the third century. The origin of the customs observed on this day. associated with love and exchange of tender greetings between sweethearts, have no connection with St. Valentine. Local Lassies Missed Cue Don't break out in an eager rash ladies, but it seems that you've really missed the boat this time. Sadie Hawkin's Day has come and went, and not an eye-lash flickered among the fair sex. Could it be that you forgot a day as important as this one? Named after its founder, a snaggle-toothed Dog Patch lovely, Sadie Hawkin's Day has become a national institution and is observed over the entire country. Judging from the recent passion for tolos, a few of the ladies observe it over the entire year. Here was a chance for every young girl to make the best of a bad job— herself. It's not the fair, but the fleet-footed, that win out on Sadie Hawkin's Day. In fact it's the only day in the year that a girl's feet are more important than her legs. Think of the opportunity you passed up, Ladies! Consider the specimen of wholesome y o u n g manhood you might have caught up with, and try to hold back your tears. Dear Editor: J Who-o-osh! I've just come from Tuesday's assembly and am I MAD! I have nothing but admiration for Miss Meiszner. How she managed to stick out the noisy reception she got is beyond me. I have never heard so much rustling, squeaking, scraping, and creaking in one place before. Immediately, some dumb gum is going to say. "Oh, but the auditorium is old and you can't breathe without making a noise." Have you ever tried it? The rattling and talking that went on today would be obvious in any auditorium. Unfortunately, the feather-brained characters responsible for the noisfe aren't people who read letters to the editor/but if one should happen to glance over these words, I hope they sear him. They're supposed to. Thoroughly Disgusted. Photo Study Plan Where Were You ? The Battle of the Sexes Watch out! Ooops so sorry! These were a few of the remarks heard as'* teachers and students stumbled through the dark corridors Monday morning trying to find their class rooms. It seems that the lights suddenly decided to go out, leaving everyone in complete darkness. Students were beheld groping into class rooms, taking their seats only to wind up sitting on someone else's lap, or standing on other feet besides their own. After once getting seated they would perhaps find themselves in the wrong room, and perceive that they had entirely a different professor lecturing to them. Worst of all was the lower hall where you couldn't see one step in front of another, and always found yourself bumping into love birds taking good advantage of the sudden black out. It was good to see the lights come on once again. Within an hour everyone had disentangled himself from the awful mess and was back at his studies. All phases of photography from snapshots with Baby Brownies to making moving pictures is a part of the Campus Camera club's program. For the benefit of the beginner, one activity proposed is to study types of cameras profitable to purchase. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, February 19, at which a salon exhibit will be shown. Anyone interested is welcome to attend.' Safety Valve... Editors WWCollegian: WHY IS IT THAT THERE IS ONE GIRL IN THIS SCHOOL WHO CANNOT BE TRUSTED? It seems funny to me. and the rest of the girls in the locker room, that there is some girl at WWC who is low enough to swipe stuff, money, books, and clothing from a persons locker. This isn't something new that just started. It has been going on all year and we think that there should be something done about it. It would not be hard to find out who has been doing the lifting, and they should be found out. for while it is little things now, it may be something big later on. It is true that few of the girls lock their lockers. Maybe we ara»just too trusting. All of us feel, however, that by the time a girl is old enough to go to college she is old enough to leave other people's possessions alone, regardless of the locker being unlocked or not. It should not be necessary to keep a padlock on your locker in order to retain your possessions. It is time an investigation was made for about $75 worth of miscellaneous items, which have been stolen, including a Kodak camera valued at $25. A reward PPPPP

Klipsun Explains Operating Procedure To Clarify 1947's Technical Deficit; Lounge Situation Demands Action Now Further information concerning the 1947 Klipsun's technical deficit was presented at the Board of Control meeting held last Wednesday, December 10, by Betty McLeod, annual editor; Barbara Cozza, business manager; and Mrs. Ruth R. Rurnet, publications adviser, the board was advised as to how the Klipsun staff operates and how the business is carried on. It was pointed out that the 1947 year book had not exceeded its budget although there is a technical deficit of $299.31. The Klipsun staff had been advised by the business office last June that the book would have a surplus of approximately $400, but in October, they were informed that there was a deficit of $299.31: There may be a possibility that the G.I. reimbursements have not yet been accredited to the Klipsun account. The matter was tabled by the Board pending further investigation. Lounge Situation Grave Approving the use of the lounge for two dates, January 5, registration, and January 15, the Publications party, the Board proceeded to take up the problem of how to keep the lounge clean. In view of the fact that there has been a lot of unfavorable criticism about the uncleanli-ness in the lounge, it was suggested that a lounge committee be appointed to work with the lounge managers. The problem was tackled from another angle by the assertion that larger ash trays were needed. The issue was tabled for a period of one week. Two other matters were discussed. The proposal that a committee be appointed to evaluate Homecoming for the permanent report was discussed. Although it was agreed that henceforth, all the major social events should be evaluated fairly, no decision was reached as to what method would be used. Variety Offered Music Lovers Students of Western Washington College will be entertained Tuesday, December 16 in the college auditorium by the annual Christmas program which will be presented by the Music, department. This program will feature a. variety of talent. The college band, under the direction of Don Walter, will play a collection of Christmas carols; the girls' trio, consisting of Janet Harris, Doris Dunn and Bessie James, will entertain the audience with a sequence of French carols. The male quartet, composed of Duane Lewis, Glen Burgh, Fred DeBruler and Roland Peterson, will sing two selections; the a capella choir will sing "Jesus, Tender Savior," and "White Christmas" under the direction of Bernard Regier. "Andante Cantabile," o n e of Tschakowsky's great pieces, will be presented by Dr. Frank D'Andrea, Norma Jean Swan, Lia Chiorande, and Jeanne Hinthorne, in the form of the college string quartet. Patricia Paul and Patricia Wright will each sing a soprano solo, and Mary Ann Teichroew and Glen Bergh will carry the solo parts in Gretchan-inoff's "Only Begotten Son" and "The Angel and the Shepherd." Scholarship, Service, Leadership, Basis For Selection of Who's Who Members Special national recognition was awarded 15 WWC students today when Miss Lorraine Powers, dean of women, released the names of those tapped by "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges." Selections were made on the basis of scholarship rating, service to the student body, and leadership in campus activities. Students to receive the honor were: Donelda J. Barnhill, Donna R. Brown, Gloria Carey, Robert Dickson, Robert Frazier, Wade Haggard, Robert Moblo, James Sanford and Barbara Stockton. Other students chosen were: Mike Smith, William Wilder, Kathleen Brodahl, Donald Brown, Halldor Karason and Arnold Lahti. Certificates of merit will be awarded to these students later in the school year. Five recipients of the award— Barnhill, Brown, Lahti, Sanford and Wilder—were also elected to "Who's Who" last year.

Western Washington College of Education, Beilingham, Washington Friday, December 12/1947 OclitotiaU... Sociologists Tour Mental Hospital One of the outstanding features of the Northern State hospital noticeable to members of Sociology class who visited that institution last week was the prevailing inter-feeling of mutual trust and respect accorded to the hospital staff members by patients and vice versa. Critics of state mental hospitals have in the past made much ado over the reported ill treatment of patients by staff members. If such treatment dees exist it was evident to the touring sociologists that its existence is elsewhere than at NSH. The wholesome, cleanly,- cheerful atmosphere prevailing there was encouraging to a group that before had been exposed only to second-hand facts. Several other myths expounded by critics were exploded by veteran nurse Miss Jo Rowland during the tour. No patient is forced to participate in the work required to keep the community operating unless the therapy value to be gained from such work makes it necessary. No evidence of padded cells were to be seen although all parts of the 54 buildings comprising the community were offered for inspection. For the protection of patients too violent to be at large strong rooms are available, but only used in extreme cases. Patients whose, families can afford to pay part of the expenses incurred are charged $40 per month. No discrimination is made between privately and state supported inmates. A staff of competent doctors, psychiatrists, nurses and attendants handle the medical attention of the 2,100 patients. YULE GIFTS REQUESTED An appeal for Christmas presents for patients has been made and highly publicized in newspapers and radio throughout the'state for the past few weeks. Under present ruling the purchasing of gifts with state supplied funds is prohibited. As a consequence it is'only through the open hearted actions of Washington residents that inmates will enjoy Christmas as it is portrayed in.American homes today. The delight of patients over simple articles was evident to the students making the tour last Saturday. Miss Rowland stated that-decorations, trees and even Santa Claus will be available. It is only through the good will of relatives, friends, and citizens that patients will enjoy the traditional gift opening though.

"I am," said a shy young thing sitting on the bench next to him. • Local Man Comes As Instructor Have you seen, in prosaic literature .the words, "home town boy makes good?" Here at WWC, in the person of George H. McMeen, newly arrived mathematics instructor, is the realization of the meaning of that phrase. Born in Beilingham, McMeen attended Lowell grade school, was graduated from the campus school, and attended WWC, receiving the BA in education in 1934. "Why, I was here before a lot of the oldtime instructors," laughed the eager, friendly instructor. McMeen began teaching in 1934 in the ninth grade in Everett. His subjects were mathematics and history. Leaving Everett, McMeen joined the navy, was commissioned and sent to the Pan American school of navigation in Miami, Florida, to learn the intricacies of aerial navigation. After completing his course McMeen became a navigation instructor himself, then went overseas as navigator for the admiral of the commander of the South Pacific. Following his discharge early in 1946, McMeen returned to Everett, this time to teach mathematics at Everett junior college. Last summer McMeen received a Master's degree at the University of Washington. more siedaroro-w-woooolUu ey (Continued from Page 1) chiatrists, 13 graduate nurses, 42 basic students, six senior cadets,' and three post graduate nurses handle the medical duties of the hospital.

Aren't you interested in what goes on here in our school? Well, I am and I have a few ideas. Here they are: Why doesn't "each club or school organization choose one or more representatives to just sit in on the meetings and make a report of all material discussed, or a bulletin should be published every month with every action taken by the board recorded so that it might be read by all interested students. I have just one other idea: why not make all Board of Control meetings open to anyone who wishes to attend? I am sure some of us are interested enough in our gt; school to attend. I know I am. —A Freshman Ed. Note: The A.S.B. prexyhas assured us that all Board of Control meetings are open to interested students. Meetings are covered, and r e ported as accurately and fully as space permits, by a WW Collegian reporter. However, we are inclined to agree that a published account of the Board's actions should be available to all. But, what is done is done, wouldn't putting the horse before the cart (have more publicity on matters before they are acted on) be a better idea?

As lately as the sixteenth century, Islam inspired the same hysteria in western hearts as Communism does in the twentieth, and this essentially for the same reasons.: Like Communism, Islam was an anti-western movement which wps at the same time a heretical version of a western Faith; and, like Communism, it wielded a sword of spirit against which there was no defense in material armaments." ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 December 12 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, December 12, 1947 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington.

Speaking of Seattle college, we wonder what that cute boy on the Chieftain team thought when PAT BORNSTEIN barked at him.

To many of the spectators and listeners alike, the decision of the judges came as a lethal blow. To many others the decision came as a just and rightful conclusion to the 15- round championship bout.

Dedicated to those who didn't see the Blue and White in action last^ Tuesday—no excuses, I knoiv there were -plenty—you missed one of the fastest games that has been -played on the Hilltop boards for quite some time. One of the hottest and one of the best. Take a gander at that score-book . . . 59 to 46—not a thing wrong with that. Again it was the Arlington boy who took the lead, Starr collected a total of 23 points, Moose Zurline was next in line with 13. You should have seen Dan Rosser—he was really hot that night, and from the way Mac is mumbling he has golden hopes for Dan. That tall fellow out there with the stiff joints was Bob Cline. A little limbering up and Bob will be all set to get up with the high pointers—wait and see. Tom Green and Pinky Erickson, the two boys who_ never worry about getting tired, come out on the short end of the deal—for being old McDonald chattel and all that. Tom has eight points to his credit and Pinky just doesn't say a word. TALK OF THE TOWN and the talk that is heard everywhere is the talk of the Louis-Walcott fight. Sure . . . Dr. Thunder-gloves has his name down on the docket as the heavyweight champion of the world, but did he really win the fight? In a low voice, he said to Joe Walcott as they embraced right after the bout, "I'm sorry, Joe. it's not my fault." There was quite a turmoil that followed the fight. The crowds booed the decision—not Louis —as the announcer raised the champ's right hand. But Louis had no desire to exult in his victory and the glove never got higher than his shoulder. When Walcott's trainer, Dan Florio, dragged Walcott out into the center of the ring and raised his hand the crowd just about went crazy. Immediately after the bout there was talk of a return match. This has been temporarily settled, and the two fighters are scheduled to meet again in June—this time at the Yankee Stadium in New York—that is, if Jersey Joe Walcott will accept 20 per cent of a probable million dollar gate. After that impressive showing made by Walcott, Billy Conn is reported to be considering a comeback with Louis. Don't forget Willy—Joe is still a good man . . . although if he is going to retire he had better get busy, LEAGUE LOG . . . Last Saturday the Washington State, Cougars went on a scoring spree when they played Whitworthians. The Cougars wrote up a 78-48 win over the Pirates. ..High point men were: Ed Gayda of WSC with 14 points and Earl Mortlock with 11. Pacific Lutheran dedicated their new gym with a game against the U. of W. and lost it to the tune of 61 to 36. The Thunderbirds of British Columbia just edged out our rivals of last Wednesday by one point in a thrilling well fought game. Score: 59 to 58. Salem, Oregon; Central Washington doused the Willamette crew to the tune of 77-60. Let by guard Fred Peterson, Central piled up a 39-22 half-time margin and held the lead throughout the final periods. Peterson was high man with 23 points. B. Johnson of Willamette was just one point behind. By the way the Savages lost one of their most valuable hoop men—Irv Leafer. He is regarded by coach Red Reese as one of the greatest basketball players in the Pacific Northwest. Reese, whose squad won 12 games and lost one last season, admits that his squad won't be as strong as it has been for a couple of years. In a practice game last Tuesday, Cheney barely copped the edge in another one lucky point game. George Gabelhouse's free throw in the final seconds of the game cinched the tally—44 to 43. Little All-America . . . was what the board said that they hung on Don D'Andrea, big center for Pacific Lutheran. His teammate, Eldon Kyllo, a really rugged tackle, received honorable mention in the selections. THE PASTIME BELLINGHAM'S MOST SPLENDIDLY APPOINTED CAFE JOEPAGLIA 1217 Cornwall DON CAIRNCROSS Phone 982 Poe Chosen As Bill McDonald Plans To Inspiration By Teammates By a large majority of votes cast by his fellow team mates, Tom Poe was elected as the inspirational player of the 1947 WW football squad. The announcement of the decision by the Vik team was made by Coach Lappy at the annual high sdhool-college banquet sponsored by the Bellingham Lions club Wednesday evening at Chuckahut Shell. Coach Lappy brought forward the points which greatly enhanced "Big Tom's" chances for the inspirational nomination. High on the list was his fine sportsmanship and great enthusiasm brought out in both practice and team play. It also brought forward that he is a true leader and a real asset to the coaching and athletic field. It is a great honor to be elected by a player's teammates as an inspiration to the team and probably no one could better qualify tor the honor team than "Big Tom." Hailing from Longview, Poe completed his second year as fullback on the Vik grid squad this season. Because of shoulder injuries he was unable to play in the important CPS and Eastern games which came as a big loss to the backfield strategy. Coast Ball Not Up To Set Standards By BILL BAKER "What is the matter with Pacific Coast football?" The greats of the West pitted against the greats of the East is nothing but a cat and mouse paradox. The outcome of the Notre Darae- USC game last Saturday was enough to put Pacific Coast football in the same category with Pacific Coast baseball. Why? Universities of the coast league boast larger student bodies than most eastern colleges; they have just as much money. Of course the reason couldn't be that students graduating from Pacific Coast high schools, with any outstanding ability, are p r o m p t ly snapped up by Eastern institutions. Or could it? Joe goes to Podunk high school, he is an outstanding field general in the gridiron sport. "Go East Joe, that's where all the football greats are made. Why man, I hear they even give you good money for playing ball back there." Perry Moss, all American quarterback, was raised in Seattle. He-even got as far as the front door to the Husky gridiron. Moss played a wonderful game at the '46 Rose Bowl for a crack Illinois outfit. Yale is now sporting an outstanding end that also went to high school in Seattle. These and many others have listened to the call of the East, and left the Pacific Coast for a better deal. In four weeks the best of the Pacific Coast meets the best of the Big Nine. The outcome is already pre-destined, odds are heavy in favor of Michigan. Yet Pacific Coast fans are paying as much as $75 per seat to see the obvious. Keep our Joes at home. Then, and only then, will we have championship football teams. Winko Coaches Hold Conclave Washington Intercollegiate Athletic members will hold their conference at the Seattle Athletic club this Saturday and Sunday. Coaches from the six colleges in the Winko league are convening to set up the schedule for the 1948 Spring sports, track, baseball, tennis and golf, and the '48 football season.

As this is the only men's informal of the year, the W club are urging the men of the school to turn out in full force.

'Received Best Training From Mother' Says Assembly Pianist Grainger "I received my best training from my. mother," said Percy Grainger, pianist at last Tuesday's assembly, in speaking of his musical back- . ground. "During my early life in Australia my mother gave me six years of thorough training, the best I have ever received." Mr. Grainger was born in Australia, where he remained until he was 12 years old. He then went to England for a while, coming to the United States when he was in his eari# trurties. Though ihosi ,bf his training was gained in Australia, Mr. Grainger studied for about three years in Germany under a follower of Bach. Continuing about Bach and his contemporaries, this brilliant Englishman stated a preference for this group of composers over those of a later period. "While I prefer the 12th and. 17th century composer, t also have the deepest admiration laid respect for Wagner, Btahms fend other later artists. Tfctf jM«*- tunate thing is that we know more about the later group thtm we do about the earlier," was the opinion stated by the short, well-built pianist. Although Mr. Grainger has had between four and five hundred compositions published, he laughingly admitted he had many more unpublished. This is partly because he does much traveling and to work while traveling on the train is nearly impossible. "This was a very spontaneous audience and I enjoyed playing for them," was the next comment made by Mr. Grainger in his clipped English- accented voice. "The auditorium has excellent acoustics and more than anything else I like to play in an auditorium finished in wood, such as this one. That kind is the very best for clear reception. In closing, Mr. Grainger once more expressed his appreciation of the audience and said that he would like to be able to play for them again sometime. Major Sawders Lectures On Sweden ^Sensible Scandinavia' Subject Of Illustrated Lecture; Hanna Speaks on Friday Higginbottom Appointed "Sensible Scandinavia" is the subject of Major James Sawders' lecture on Tuesday, April 12. The lecture will be illustrated by pictures of color and motion. He is said to be a photographer of rare skill and his pictures are in demand by leading magazines and newspapers. Major Sawders has spent much time in Mexico, West Indies, the Spanish Main, Brazil, Argentine and other South American countries, our own southwest and "Dixie", traveling, studying, and photographing these places. His invasion of Scandinavia gave him material for his forthcoming lecture. His lectures have been given in divers educational centers of the United States, including Columbia university, National Geographic Society at Washington, D. C, Carnegie Musuem and the Town Hall in New York. Hanna Lectures On April 15, John G. Hanna will give an illustrated lecture on American Youth Hostels. Youth Hostels offer facilities for travel and are buildings with separate sleeping rooms for boys and girls, equipped with bunks, mattresses and blankets; separate wash rooms and toilet facilities, a common kitchen, dun-ing and recreation rooms and private quarters for house parents. Youth Hostels are located between ten and fifteen miles apart so that one may hike or bike from hostel to hostel and see the country at very little cost. Youth Hostelers travel by bicycle, horseback, canoe, flatboat, snowshoes, skiis or on foot. This plan was originated in Europe and brought to America by Isabel and Monroe Smith. It is heartily approved by President Roosevelt, who traveled on the Continent in this manner when a boy. Mr. Hanna's lecture is based on his adventures in Youth Hostelry. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS . Don't You Forget Attendance— Rules In Effect! Reminding the students that the new attendance rules are now in full force, the Viking is again printing the new rules. The old rules with reduction of grades and losses of credits are no longer in effect. The rules regarding absences from classes are as follows: 1. Absences are excused only for illness or injury certified by the health department; or in cases of emergency by the registrar. 2. When the number of unexcus-ed absences per quarter in any given course exceeds the number of weekly class meetings registration in that course will be cancelled with a recorded mark of failure. For example, a three hour course is allowed three absences; a five hour course, five absences. A petition for re-admission will be considered by the Scholarship committee only in exceptional cases. The regulations regarding assembly absences are: Attendance is required at all student assemblies, and are excused only in cases of illness or in cases of emergency. If the number of unexcused absences exceeds three in any given quarter, registration of the student will be suspended with •einstatement possible only by petition to the Attendance committee.

Take A Look At This This is the first of a series of editorials by which the Viking editorial staff will prove that a seven column paper is the only type of a journal for a school of the size and with the prestige of the Western Washington College. HISTORY—By a single stroke of the 1932 administration the Viking was reduced from a seven column paper to one of six columns. The reason given was that lack of sufficient advertising made it impossible to carry on the seven column journal. No reservation was made for restoring the extra column when times turned for the better; the Viking was merely warned to stay within bounds of its appropriations. These appropriations, which are so low that most college papers would laugh at them, are still in effect. PRESENT—Two energetic business managers of the present administration have shown that times are better and that ads can be had. The ad content is again being built up to where it was during the reign of the seven column paper. This increase of ads has made the Viking an unbalanced affair, un-wieldly, and impossible to carry on in the proper manner. With ads enough for an extra column, the news space has shrunk considerably. Many stories never see print because of the lack of space. It's as plain as the nose on your face. We are not in the Dark Ages of Depression but in the Age of Progress. Don't leave the Viking in the dark; give if a chance to rank with other college papers; give it seven columns. NOTICE TO FACULTY After last week's Aprl Fool edition of the Viking, the staff wishes to pass a little note on to the faculty—"You sure are good sports!" Thru The Lobby With Earl Eckert -' AVALON Here's good news, movie goers of Western College, the Avalon theatre is instituting a new policy that will just' hit the spot. Starting this week-end and every week-end hereafter, they will offer first run faa-tures. The prices? 21 cents in the afternoon—32 cents evenings! Plenty good, heh! Now if they would have nothing but first runs it would be swell. To inaugurate this new setup, the Avalon will play "THE BARONESS AND THE BUTLER" with Annabella and William Powell. Also "Swing Your Lady" with Humphrey Bogart and Louise Fa-zenda. Starting Friday at the Avalon. ^ AMERICAN "A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS" starring Fred Astaire, George Burns and Gracie Allen, and Ray Noble and His Orchestra. The second feature is "This Way Please" with Charles "Buddy" Rogers, Ned Sparks and Mary Livingstone. The complicated romance of an American dancer and a titled girl forms the basis of the story of the first production and it makes a pretty good show. The other is another musical feature. MT. BAKER Now playing—through Saturday, at the Mt. Baker is the "ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER" with Tommy Kelly and May Robson and "The First 100 Years" with Robert Montgomery and Virginia Bruce. The first feature is in technicolor and the story speaks for itself. To wind up the program is the latest edition of "The March of Time". Starting Sunday at the Mt. Baker is "BRINGING UP BABY" with Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant and "Walking Down Broadway" with Claire Trevor and Michael Whalen. The first feature is a slapstick comedy that will have you rolling in the aisles. In this show we also have "Asta", the dog, and "Baby" is a tame leopard. The other show is about six girls and what happens to them from one New Year's Eve to the next. These last two start Sunday. GRAND "SOME BLONDES ARE DANGEROUS" with Noah Beery, Jr., William Gargan. The other feature is Mary Boland and Ernest Truex in "Mama Runs Wild". We all know that most blondes are dangerous but let's go down and see what Hollywood has to say about it. They tell me its some kind of a mystery. These features start Saturday at the Grand. Patronize Viking Advertisers Miller Sutherlen PRINTING Phone CO. - 2 8 2 - Phone The Stroller Farmer Jones owned a roan horse which would ea$ anything—animal, vegetable, or mineral—with no thought as to quantity. Truly a remarkable roan. Farmer Brown, his neighbor, was plagued with ground moss growing where his wheat crop should have been. All his efforts to eradicate said moss resulted in failure. One day when Farmer Jones was in town, Farmer Brown was struck by an idea. So he uncermoniously "borrowed" Jones' marvelous roan. After turning him loose in the mossy field, he stood back to await results. Farmer Jones returned and anx-ously sought his missing equine; finally wound up at the spot where a crestfallen Farmer Brown was deploring a decided lack of interest on the part of the stolen horse, which merely stood in his tracks and reminisced, gazing skyward. "I thought your horse would eat anything?" complained the embittered Farmer Brown. Farmer Jones laughed and between shouts of hysteria replied, "don't you know—don't you know that a stolen roan gathers no moss?" Well—everybody else laughed . lt;. .

April 8; 1938 WESTERN WASHINGTON CX)I^ IRC Discusses Quarter Plans Constitution To Be Revised; Two Committees Appointed To Popularize Organizatoin Discussion of plans for^ the new quarter was the theme of the International Relations club, which :held its first meeting of the quarter "Wednesday, April 6. The committee for constitutional revision was named with instructions to have its recommendations ready at the next meeting. It was also suggested that a committee be appointed to work on membership plans. Another committee was appointed to keep the bulletin board up to date, with posters and announcements; this committee was also made responsible for regular news reports to the Viking. The possibility of assisting in the iormation of an International Affairs study group within the county was discussed. The club voted unanimously to support any movement in that direction; even to sending speakers and arranging a round table conference late in May to bring the interested groups together. A Peace day assembly was thought of; Dale Courtney was appointed to investigate the assembly schedule and meet with the executive board to plan for that assembly. Discussion for the evening centered around the position of Hitler in Europe at the present time. Following the discussion the initiation of Adrian Alberg, Manford Chase, John Engebretsen, Douglas Lince, Stewart McLeod, Robert McConnell, Mildred Richardson, Kenneth Se-lander and Roland Van Luven con- •cluded the evening's program.

Grade School Paper Received by Viking With an address from the principal on the front page that it may-be facing suspension, a copy of Teddy's Echo, a quarterly publication of the grade students of Roosevelt school in Mount Vernon was recently received by the Viking staff. The advisor is Miss Elsie Holland, a Viking member in 1924. Because of a change of location of schools and because of a drastic financial condition, the paper probably will not publish again. All of the Mount Vernon grade' school pupils were asked to make contributions to the pages of Teddy's Echo. The students were requested to write stories, poems, and news items. "Teddy's Echo is an excellent elementary school paper," commented Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet, Viking adviser, who was also adviser of the Normal Messenger which Miss Holland wrote for in 1923-1924. PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Girls' Dormitory Holds Quarterly Initiation At the Edens hall spring quarter initiation held Tuesday night, April 5, eight new "victims" were thoroughly and brutally put through the paces.

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS 'Debris* Wanted Say Students General Consensus Favorable For Column; Criticisms Also Stated by Cross Section Results of recent questionings concerning the future form of the regular Viking feature, Debris, have been on the whole encouraging. The general concensus of student opinion is that the column is one of the most popular and widely read ones in the paper, and that it definitely should not be scrapped. However, it was generally agreed by the students questioned, that Debris could and should be improved in one or several ways. Foremost among the objections to the general character of Debris, is the repeated use of the same names. ---------- Western Viking - 1938 April 8 - Page 4 ---------- i*;V%Wjsp WESTERH W A S H ^^ A J^S.W5 gt; I In The Sportlight Focused by Bill Fowler Track Ou Uncertain NOW IT CAN BE TOLD This week's tale concerns a couple of screwballs who illustrate the well known axiom that a collegian will do anything on the slightest provocation. Preston Cooper and Vic Mollan are the nuts, who, on being offered two bits each by yours truly, stripped down to their shorts and. jumped into the swimming pool from the gallery on St. Patrick's Day, although they knew the doors were locked. With the aid of a couple of bystanders they finally got out, but what a chance they took! Hollis Thiel was ready to take the leap too, but couldn't come to terms. IT'S A SIN TO TELL A LIE Despite all previous reports, Norman Bright, WWC's favorite'son and the nation's top two miler, WAS beaten while competing for the Vikings. Though we like to think of the Chehalis kid as being unconquerable in college competition here, where he concentrated on the mile, the facts are this—on the 15th of May, 1929, Bright was beaten by Fasset, of CPS at Waldo Field. HISTORY It happened in this very city last spring. A grim visaged man looked around to see if all was ready. It was. He gazed into strained, tense faces, but no one, made a move to stop him. Suddenly he placed a glistening .38 revolver at his temple —a few last words, then he pulled the trigger—BANG—and amid the cheers of the crowd Dan Gagnon sped down the track to a new tri-college record.

Wayne Weber, WWC track man, who when in Burlington high school won the district championship in the broad jump, last year won second place in the Tri-college finals that were held in Belling-ham. Western Washington expects big things from Weber this year in the broad jump. Spider and the Fly Eino "Kiss 'em in the Dark" Nelson, and Marion "Soft-lips" Jones win the laurels this week. And why not? Jonesy was blindfolded, getting initiated when the Spider whirled her around to kiss her. Yes, he said her lips were soft. Come and get 'em. Two Sundaes—on us. Hillview Dairy 1824 Cornwall Ave. PHONE 351 In previewing his track prospects for the coming season Coach Sam Carver feels he can neither tear at those few remaining strands, and snuggle up contentedly behind that darker and more popular billiard ball—nor kick up the turf in exultation. About one-third of the thirty-five men going through their paces daily have never turned out for track before. In actuality, the furthest some of them have advanced in track and field pursuit is in watching Jesse Owens convert his chocolate anatomy into a brown streak of fur in the exhibition run at the gym last winter. From his highly commendable 1937 squad just four lettermen will return to the fold. They are: Gagnon in the sprints, Howatt in the two-mile, Weber in the broad jump, and Nelson in the discus and high jump. First Meet Scheduled "The first varsity meet is tentatively scheduled for April 29, and if the temperature continues as favorable as it present—for last week's inclement weather makes me fear the boys would draw their Town-send money before we got in a good turnout—that date will be official," quipped Carver. o INTRAMURAL MEETING!

Many of the aspirants have been practicing for the past few weeks with their eyes on the first five places on the ladder and the anticipated road trip into Oregon: Coach Lappenbusch has recently received several replies from his letters to some of the colleges in southern Washington and Oregon, concerning proposed matches between the schools. Portland university, one of the schools that had been mentioned in the trip, announces that they will have no tennis team this year. The other schools contacted replied more favorably. Willamette university will play the Vikings there and wish to play a match here sometime between April 9 and 18. Additional matches are being arranged with Pacific Lutheran, St. Martins and the University of British Columbia at Vancouver. The usual ladder tournament is in progress to decide who will be on the five-man team. As the time of writing, the first ten men on the ladder were: Fisher, Harvey, Cooper, Dolan, D. Fowler, B. Fowler, Hilby, Weber, Hawley and Bever. A man may challenge two places ahead on the ladder and must play at least one match a week with a challenger below him.

This week, Promoter Carter plans to bring in a few outside amateurs to.match the local leading sluggers. Kreig will again be put on the main bill and a little more caution will be used to find a fighter in Kreig's range, as there was a bit of criticism as,to whether Kreig and Toby were evenly matched. Carter believes the ring fans of Bellingham prefer local amateurs when well balanced matches can be arranged. With this in mind, Carter is placing Frankie Hewittson, the south side's pride and glory, and Allen Backer, another piece of T. N. T„ against a couple of outside boys. The night of matches has been changed from Friday to Wednesday evening this week. .

A survey conducted unearthed some of the following facts about the opinions the girls have on the bearded-man stunt. Vicki Steele and Jeanine Laakso, after much perusing of the dictionary, came up with this gem of an adjective—"It's unique." That was their undivided opinion. Joyce Quinlan remarked, "It's tough for the babies they kiss." When asked whom she thought might win the contest. Ruth Sode-strom instantly replied, "Dave Jolly. That's my man. He'll probably send back to Boston for whisker growing tonic." Jean Seeley made one concise statement. "Quite cute. Men look better in beards anyway." Eva LeCompte and Jean Landers were of one opinion. They both "Think it is fine and funny." Mildred Stange thinks the whiskereeno contest "Sounds like a ticklish proposition." From these varied and at-random chosen people, the remarks solicited seem to point toward a day of fun and variety when the whisker judging is done. If the only way men can get ahead of women is to grow whiskers then there is bound to be considerable competition to see just who can prove his manly might and produce the longest crop. SMITH JR.

Kept busy from 8:00 in the morning until 10:30 at night, with banquets, speeches and discussions, the three delegates from the local Wesley club returned with many new ideas» for improving their organization. Officers for the entire Pacific Northwest conference were elected. A student from Washington State" College, Harvey Young, was named president.

So far this season the Vikings have stayed on top of the league with Seattle College, and the Blue and White squad will be out to win their fourth and fifth league victories. Reimer will most likely get the nod for the first contest because of the excellent form he showed in the game with the Chieftains. Black, who took over the mound duties, in the middle of the second game with Seattle College and showed he could pitch good ball will probably start the second contest of the double header. Dick Burrell, on third base, and Jack Burrell, on first, playing their first time on the starting ' line-up last week have earned the right for first team berths. The other positions are the same with Kamofski, catching; Nunamaker, on second; Winders, at shortstop; Partlow. left f i e l d; Gayda, right field; Wardrop, center field. Lindbloom, getting two for four, in the last game will probably see action in the outfield. Little is known about the Pacific Lutheran nine except that they lost to Seattle College, a very tough team, and that they are now in the cellar spot; but they will cause plenty of competition for the Viks. Merv Allen, who dropped a close 1-0 game to Seattle College and held the Chiefs to three hits will probably start one of the games for the Lutes. feline tycrltscope ... by burrell An article in a recent issue of Look magazine stated that they believed that the college conferences should have athletic commissioners for the protection of collegiate athletics. The basis for their belief is that no sporting event is safe from the influence of gambling in a nation that spends 15 billion dollars on sports gambling alone. The scandals in the last two years have left the public wondering and has shaken their faith in the sports world. An athletic commission for collegiate sports would probably be a good idea since it would not only be a protection for the contaminating influences of the racketeers and their gambling, but also would help to keep the amateur status in the colleges. There is probably little use, how-ver, to plug the collegiate athletic commissions since it is still a little early to close the barn door as only one of our cows has strayed. * Tomorrow afternoon the golf team plays their fourth match of the season, this one at the home Lakeway golf course. The string of conference championships run up by Coach Sam Carver's divot diggers (now at eleven straight) is a record unchallenged by any collegiate team of# the day. The Viking squad has so far swept all three of their previous matches by lop-sided scores, winning two meets from St. Martins and one from Seattle College. The golfers look like they are well on their way to the twelfth straight conference crown for Western and tomorrow's match with the tough University of British Columbia team should be an interesting affair. * 'Rainy weather this past week has been slowing down the workouts for the ahtietic squads around school. The track team has been working on the track behind the gym almost every night in spite of the slightly damp weather, but the Downer field has been too muddy for any kind of real turnout for the baseball team. The rainy weather Monday cancelled the baseball game Monday with the College of Puget Sound as did it with the practice fray against the Bells scheduled either for Tuesday or Wednesday nights. The CPS game will be made up later in the season while the contest with the Bellingham semi-pro outfit has been cancelled indefinitely. * ODDS AND ENDS . . . Seattle College has protested their setback by the St. Martins baseball squad to Winco conference officials . . . Today's double header with PLC may be a deciding factor for the Viking squad since a clean sweep of the series would put them in undisputed first place . . .

Central was leading by three points when the time came to run the last event, the mile relay. Western surged ahead to win the race and collect five more points, which brought them over the top and into the clear. The final score was: Western, 76; Central, 74; Whitworth, 9.

Blue and White Golfers Will Tackle Canadians Shooting for their fourth straight victory, the Blue and White golfers will meet a strong team from the University of British Columbia tomorrow afternoon on the Lakeway course. The Viks have swept through their first three meets, and are well on their way to their twelfth straight Winco golf title. Tomorrow's meet at the Lakeway course will get underway at 12:45. In their third meet of the season Tennis Team Wins Over Ellensburg Coach Sam Carver's undefeated tennis squad had a scare thrown into them by the Ellensburg squad, last Saturday, but finally managed to nose out the Wildcats 4 to 3 in a dual match. ' Brown proved to be tops for the day by downing Clayton, conference champion from last year, 7-5 and 6-4. The other Western victories had to go the full limit of three games before they were decided. The results of the tennis matches are as follows: , Singles—B r o w n (W) defeated Clayton (C) 1-5, 6-4; Jurgens (W) defeated Eyman (C) 10-8, 0-6, 6-3; Duncan (C) defeated Lahti (W) 4-6, 6-1, 6-3; Foster (W) defeated Oakland (C) 4-6, 6-0, 9-7; Isherwood (C) defeated Orphan (W) 6-3, 9-7. Doubles—Clayton and Long (C) defeated Brown and Lahti (W) 9-7, 6-4; Foster and Jurgens W$ defeated Duncan and Isherwood (C) 7-9, 6-1, 10-8. Tuesday afternoon, the Viks won a decisive victory from the St. Martins squad on the Mountain View course near Olympia. This was the second win over the Rangers as the Vikings were also the victors in last Friday's meet on the Lakeway course. Medalist for the Vikings at St. Martins was Verrill with a six over par 78.

Four hundred seventy-eight students participated in the most enthusiastic political campaign that this school has witnessed in years. But, this is not enough. When we cast our ballots, we pledged ourselves to support the elected candidates whether that person is the one we supported personally or not. This must go on all year instead of just during the election campaign. A spirited election is not a sign of disunity of students. On the contrary it only proves their unity. If we had no group feeling there would be no campaign, elections,, or student government. All that would be needed is a rope to put through the ring in our noses. We spend our money and lime in college to get educated in every respect-not just scholastically. "Dabbling in politics/' is a part of this education—as important as knowing that Webster is a store house of words, instead of just a cigar. Politics have been knocking around in the world for quite a number of years, and it is not reasonable to expect that they will not be here after we are gone. So why not include them in our education? "Power politics" can only be utilized through intimidation or persuasion of persons having no basic beliefs of their own. Four hundred seventy-eight students proved conclusively that there is no evidence of persons of this sort attending WWC. Four hundred seventy-eight persons expressed opinions of their own. More power to them. • Hide S fads . . . from dolly Midquarter tests are just about over and there's only a little while left to go till summer. What a wonderful feeling. Everyone has been enjoying the sunny weather. Such as last Sunday when 24 couples went on the Hi-Y alumni cruise on the Activian. Some of the picnickers were almost left on Sinclair Island . . .seems that they were hunting for ERNIE DAWE for a half hour and finally found him behind a log. But all in all everyone had a wonderful time. BEV HANSON returned Sunday evening to Edens Hall with her hair looking as though it had been dunked in a rain barrel. The cruise must-have been too much for her. JACK DRIVER insisted on taking a girl home Saturday night. Or rather, she insisted. After leaving the restaurant poor Jack couldn't win. With the help of LARRY GAYD.VS whistle and yell, Jack finally took her home. , * SHIRLEY STAMATIS had quite a big party at her home over the week-end, the whole week-end! RICK LAURIE took a trip to Seattle last Saturday to see Dick Wright, an ex-WWCian. They were planning a big night at the T. and C. Mighty nice! And JOHNNIE BORAM made a quick trip to Port Angeles last weekend. Seems he has a new girl friend who was in Port Angeles and looks very much like a girl at WWC. That's all from the dirt pile!

Holly Contest To Begin For Manly Men Digesting The News... with holtzheimer-fallis] MISQUOTED Henry A. Wallace said Tuesday that the press throughout the U. S. has misquoted him on several topics. 1. He said that he did not name $17,000,000,000 or any fixed sum to be loaned to Russia for reconstruction. 2. He said that he did not say that he loved.all congressmen. 3! He said that he did not say that President Truman's policy toward Greece and Turkey was "ruthless imperialism." Whether or not Wallace actually made many of these statements is not known to date, but something is certainly amiss. Either there was an extremely sloppy job of • reporting done abroad, or Wallace tends to be backing down on his remarks in Europe. It was once said that ^60,900,000 Frenchmen can't be wrong." To change it just a bit, "several hundred reporters could hardly be wrong." HOUSE LIMITS AID The House of Representatives, in a vote of 135 to 110 on April 29, refused to extend further American relief aid to Communistic dominated areas. The Senate voted unanimously to extend $35,000,000 for the purpose of reconstruction aid to five nations including China. PALESTINE The British government declared Tuesday that she could not "expend blood and treasure to carry out single-handedly any future U. N. O. recommendations on The Holy Land." Britain wished to put the problem "child" in the lap of the 14-nation steering committee. The committee agreed to place the British proposal on the agenda. PRICE CUTS President Truman appealed directly to the business -men of the U. S. "reduce prices whenever possible at all levels." Making it clear that the economic conditions are the nation's number one problem, Mr. Truman said, "No community leaders have a grave responsibility at this moment, or a greater opportunity for service to their country, than our business men." Some of the larger establishments in the nation this week at first gave support to lowering prices, but only a day or so later raised them to the original level. This type of support is utterly destructive. It is up to the nations buyers to back the President by not buying commodities that are too high. The buyer's strike is the most effective means of lowering prices. "Acres of facial foliage, carefully tended, painstakingly cultivated, combed, curled and coddled will soon bedeck the handsome faces of WWC's males," mused Walt Clayton and Byron Grubb, official beard growers for the coming Campus Day, "We wonder what the chief pastime of the women will be during the coming 18 days?" Males are again warned that the WHISKEREENO contest starts May 3, following the Edens hall dance, and continues through May 21. Back in 1943 Harold Hardman demurely accepted the honor bestowed on him by the beard growing judges—that of the vainest attempt at a beard. Jay Lapp and George Jurgens have been shining up their trophys which they have won in previous years' Whiskereeno contests. Explanation Because of mid-term exams and the publication of an election day special, it was decided by the editors to print a five column paper this week.

The initial meeting, non-authoritative because of the absence of a quorum, saw the appointment of three undergraduate temporary board members for summer duty to replace the regularly elected" members who are not in school this summer. The new faces on the Board are Rolf Jensen, Clarence Soukup, and Mike Baker. Helen Cory and Kathryn Newell, chairmen of the rec hour committee, announced a regular rec hour for Friday evening from 8:30 to 11:30. Harry Wellman's orchestra has been secured, to provide the music for the dance; . 'The' bulk of the business transacted was the introduction of various measures for discussion. The request of Mrs. Ruth A. Burnet, journalism instructor, for the formulation of a Publications board was. broughtbetore.the meeting for con-j sideratipn prior to official,action at1 a latet date. According to suggested outlines, thei P4iblications board would be the sole authority in all matters relating to the publishing of all student publications. Also presented for discussion was the completed annual budget for the Associated students for the year 1939-1940. President Ralph Neil said the budget will be acted upon during the first official session of the Board. Soo Yong with Garbo Hikers Set Out For Skyline Ridge and Trailside Coffee Cruise Tickets In Demand Enrollment Shows Decrease Student enrollment for summer quarter 1939 has decreased considerably compared to the enrollment' dor Rummer quarter_193§,_v. There are 719 students enrolled at present, 82% of whom are enrolled in upper division courses. The enrollment last year was approximately 1000 As 1938 was the last year in which it was possible to obtain life diplomas, the enrollment has naturally decreased this year. There are 23 freshmen enrolled, and 52 sophomores; 127 students are from out of the state, and of'the 39 counties, 31 are represented. Eight students are from Alaska. Eight New Courses Added To Summer Curriculum Eight new courses of instruction have been added to the summer school curricuTum. A new five credit class in speech correction, Speech 104, was organized, but because of a small enrollment has been dropped until fall quarter. Art Relationships (Art 125) is a combination of Art 1 and Art 50. It is primarily concerned with comprehension of art principles and their practical application to life situations. It is a three credit course taught by Miss Hazel Break-, ey. Color is the dominating factor in Art 171A. Because it takes some length of time for the individual to develop ideas about color, this class was a necessary addition to .the art curriculum. An attempt will be made to develop the understanding of different theories of color, through experimentation with various media, including water color, tempera paint, sketching crayons, frescola, payons and chalks. Miss Hazel Plympton supervises this two-credit course. An introduction to poetry is offered in English 55, a five credit course taught by t)r. Cederstrom. To enable the student to read, understand, and appreciate English verse is. the purpose of ttie class. Industrial Artp 134, the foundation of industrial arts, is a course for supervisors who wish to under stand the modern basic principle underlying industrial art? in ele-mentary and junior high schools. , It is a two credit course, taught by H. C. Ruekmick, with np laboratory work. Two courses in teaching techniques are being offered. T. T. ISO involves observation and the techniques of teaching music. Experience in teaching school music is a prerequisite for the course, which Miss Myra Boothe instructs. A regular seven credit course, no teaching is required of those who elect this course for three credits. T. T. 171 also has teaching experience as a prerequisite. Curriculum improvement, and the principles and problems of a curriculum will be studied. It is a five predit course, taught by Miss Mary Elizabeth Barry, graduate of Columbia Teachers college. In the Science department, two regular courses designed primarly for transfer students who lack the" prerequisites Science* 1 and 2, are offered. Designated Science 111 and 112, the course may be two or five credits each. Miss Ruth Piatt and Miss Leona Sundquist teach the courses. ' Two regular courses in speech being taught this summer deserve mention. Speech 3i B^NIW Speech, is offered for students who want to improve their speech w voice/ It is a two» credit course taught by Dr. J a ^ * X ?^ 55, Diction, two credits, is a profes-sional (jourse in the element of speech/''-:'"'. Chinese Artist Will Appear Miss Soo Yong, the- Chinese Otis Skinner, will appear in assembly next Friday, July 7. She.will.give original monologues and selections from authentic costume dramas translated from the ancient Chinese. After a career on Broadway, Soo Yong played in the following major movie productions: "The Painted Veil," "China Seas," "Mad Holiday," "Rainbow Pass," and had the distinction of playing two parts in "The Good Earth." She is now making personal appearances in her own original monologues. Miss Yong will give the following dramatic monologues in assembly: "The Lull, The Storm, Sunshine,'' the evolution of the Chinese woman in three scenes: "A Nun Seeks Love"; "The Rainbow Pass"; "This Dancing World"; "New China"; and "In a Modern Chinese Classroom." Her humorous monologues will include: "Celebrity Luncheon"; "Mae West Interviews Sister Aimee"; "My American Landlady"; and "Talented Children." With hopes for superb weather conditions welling in the breast of every member of the summer recrea? tion committee, plans for the Victoria cruise of July A are rapidly being realized. L. A. McGee, chairman of the gt; recreation committee, reported Wednesday that ticket sales for the Independence day journey through the beautiful San Juan islands and to the "new world's oldest city" were progressing at a slow rate. McGee, however, expressed confidence of a last-minute surge of prospective sailors to swell the passenger list. Arrangements for a special college bus excursion to the famous gardens of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. But-chart have been negotiated. A special round-trip fare of $2 is being offered by the Grayline Transpor tation company. Students wishing to take advantage of the special fare will buy their land excursion tickets on disembarking at Victoria, McGee said Wednesday. Reservations are being made in the Office of dean of men on the main floor, for places on. the sleek, modern Princess Adelaide's passenger list for the delightful sea trip Members of the recreation committee offered warning to laggers that local townspeople have in past years snapped at the opportunity to fill the passenger quota. In view of the possibility of outsiders taking all the room on the liner, college students are advised to make their reservations now! Breaky Presides at Art Meeting Librarian Returns From Conference Miss Miriam Snow returned this week to take up her classes for the summer. She attended the American Library association convention in San Francisco last week. There were many famous authors and artists of children's books present. Miss Snow was chosen to help select the books for the Newberry and Caldecott. awards. The book selected for the Newberry award was '"Thimble Summer," by Ruth En-right. Miss Enright is a niece of Frank Lloyd Wright, the noted architect. For the Caldecott award "Mei Li" by Thomas Handforth, was picked. The Newberry award is given for the best older children's book and the Caldecott award for the best illustrated book. Both must have been published the preceding year../ '••••••i^k:yHi:-- For three days before the American Library association met,,'there was a pre-coniewa^ institute for chMren's Ubrarians at Berkeley. , .in*:.:8h^c:fli^ Qate totm*tk^m^*M. and , was much irmweseed by the sandpaint-ing of the Indians. . A state conference in Seattle claimed the attendance of Miss Hazel Breakey and Miss Hazel Plympton last Wednesday, June 28, where Miss Breakey was chairman of the committee on creative arts in college. The conference was held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but the WWC art instructors attended only the discussions on ar^. Water color paintings which are now on exhibit in the Art department will remain there at least another week. These paintings show the various and interesting techniques of the art of water coloring. All those interested in art are advised by the art instructors to take advantage of the opportunity to see the exhibit. McGee Appointed Dean of Men Appointed as the new dean of men by the Board of Trustees last Wednesday, June 21, L. A. McGee will immediately take up the duties of that position. He is taking the place of former Dean W. J. Marquis, who retired spring quarter. McGee came to WWC in the fall of 1937, taking the position of instructor in the Physical Education department. During winter quarter, 1999/ McGee took over the duties of Marquis who took leave of absence because of illness. Because of McGee's ability in this capacity, he was chosen by the Board of Trustees to retain this position. Gool Over 6,000 Feet Up In Cascade Mountains On \Yay to Baker Hikers to Skyline ridge will leave from the Big gym of the new PF building at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Those taking the trip are asked to bring their lunch, and a cup and spoon so that they may partake of the coffee which will be made over a. campfire along the trail.

He also advijses "that hikers who will be wearmgriew shoes on the Baker trip get'therri now and break them in on these earlier climbs. Tickets, on sale in the Recreation Office, are 75 cents. Asked if he didn't consider the price rather high, McGee answered, "The real cost is for transportation. If you furnish this,(Uie rest is but a small fee for coffee, etc. When we used to go by bus thd expense was much greater." Skyline is one of the ridges leading directly to Mount Baker. The destination of -the hike~ tomorrow is a spot of over 6,000 feei: in altitude, well along the way to Baker. A good portion of the distance is on snow fields. Each year the hikers enjoy long slides in the snow on that part of the anatomy which is usually sat on.

One Hundred Years, An Inspiration When we stop to consider that just one hundred years ago the first teacher training institution was founded, we realize- rather forcefully the great progress , which has been made in one field of education in this country. " Right now, when everything appears so thoroughly disheartening in the teaching profession, we can derive much comfort and great satisfaction out of the accomplishments of the past. This bit of looking back should give us the necessary encouragement to go ahead and conquer our problems. Should It Be Hitler "Ersotz?" Criticism has.been, heaped quite generously upon various public servants and educators because'they are brainy, visionary, and have the courage to stick by their convictions. •" If we do not want brains in our government and in education, pray tell what do we want? If we do not want vision and courage to get us out of the mess in which we find ourselves, what other substitutes can be suggested ? Come July Fourth Declare your independence next Tuesday by doing a wee bit of good willing. Pay your respects to the Canadians at Victoria. Incidentally, you will be able to crowd a greater variety of pleasures into one day than you- had ever dreamed you could. The strangest part of it all is that you come home perfectly relaxed. Tit-willow, Tit-willow, Tit-willow! .. It is seldom that the motion picture screen offers a picture as thoroughly en-oyable and piquant as the "Mikado." Blessed with a cast, except Kenny Baker, that has been steeped in the true Gilbert and Sullivan tradition, the cinema version of one of the most tuneful of operettas is a thing to be long remembered. The Splendid, Silent Sun If we can't do anything about it, we still talk about it.

V V ROOSEVELT'S POET An open rift between President Roosevelt and Congress occurred recently when he announced his choice of Archibald MacLeish as the new librarian of Congress. Representative J. Parnell Thomas of New Jersey, a member of the Dies committee and specialist in red-hunts, reports that MacLeish is mixed up with the Communist party. His appointment will probably be approved by Congress in spite of Thomas' red scare.

Knopf, 1938, 121 Pages, $1.75 Reviewed by Joan Hoppe "Profound!" says the intelligensia. "Charming!" says your illiterate reviewer. Robert Nathan sits back, chuckling to himself and says nothing, while critics and reviewers speculate upon the possible interpretations and social implication of his newest 120-page fantasy, The Journey of Tapiola. Disregarding its implied significance, this simple tale will furnish its readers a good half hour of delightful reading. It is simply the story of three travelers, Tapiola, a diminutive Yorkshire terrier who lives with Mrs. Poppel, the publisher's wife and goes out to become a hero and a popular success; a canary who wishes to be called Richard because of his chest tones and his aspirations to become a baritone; and Jeremiah, an old gray rat, a minister and a prophet who has lost his congregation because he always foresees the worst. They travel together by garbage barge and plank to Staten island, by foot across Staten island, and by ferry back to Manhattan. As they go they speak of life, of the nature and purpose of God, of love, hate, beauty, music, literature. They'find themselves in situa-. tions, some heroic, but mostly embarrassing. Tapiola lectures extemperaneously. to a group of serious-minded rabbits on the literary life at Mrs. Popple's, and in so doing gains the love and admiration of a young lady rabbit. Richard gives a concert in a barnyard and, much to his disgust captivates a little, red, schoolteacher hen. He wouldn't have minded if she'd turned out to be a writer or something else of not much, importance, but a schoolmistress, how mortifying! But he comforted himself with the thought that an artist must have an audience and after all who makes up an audience, but "simple people like schoolteachers and librarians." Eventually Tapiola, Richard, and their two ardent admirers, the young lady rabbit and the schoolteacher hen, return to Mrs. Popple's content to forget their aspirations. But old Jeremiah continues on his endless journey in search of a congregation. This delightful story has the same charm, grace, humor, and naivete characteristic of Nathan's fantasies. He has a certain lightness of touch which give his tales an airy "Alice-in-Wonderlandish" quality. The author is so apparently, enjoying himself that it is almost impossible for the reader not to enter into the spirit of the thing. Tapiola once remarked to Ch. Lance von Habich, a Great Dane of his acquaintance, "It is only your great size which makes you in any way remarkable." He was defending both himself and Nathan's book, they are both small, but remarkable. Campi Coast to Coast By Winnie Rittenberg A business man renowned for his business ability had written a letter to a former customer who had skipped town owing the business man's Coat and Pants emporium a sizeable account.

Barry Happy Here Eastern Instructor Likes Rain Interview by Clarence Soukup "Your rain, I like it. I think it should be called cosmetic rain, it gives you that enviable complexion you Washington folk have. It does the work of rouge, powder, and so forth," replied Miss Mary Elizabeth Barry, when questioned about the weather in a recent interview. Miss Barry is teaching courses in curriculum improvement and reading for the summer session. Claiming to be a direct descendant of Captain Jack Barry, hero of the War of 1812, she flashes all the jolliness of old Erin in a pleasing and fascinating smile given;to her by her Irish ancesters. She was born at Saginaw, Michigan. This vivacious leader of the educational world received her training at Teachers college at Columbia university, where she re-eceived her B. S. and MA. She expects to complete work on her doctor's degree by the end of the year. "Hobby? Oh, my, aviation, decidedly!" Miss Barry has taken ground school work at New York university. She has flown all over Europe and America and has written two books on aviation, "Wonder Plights of Long Ago," and "Alberto Santo Dumont. a Hero of the Air." Her ambition is to ftyfrom the West coast to Honolulu—as a passenger.*. Miss Barry's past accomplishments are as long as President Fisher's speeches and space permits only a few of her deeds to be recorded here. She has taught at the Horace. Mann and Lincoln schools at Teachers col-- lege, Columbia university. She is proud of her record at the Ecole Internationale in Switzerland, a new experimental school organized by the League of Nations for its member's children. The school was interested in finding out what sort of curriculum to teach that would fit these children for their own cultures in different countries. It was- Miss Barry's particular job to get them ready for the required English examination of then-respective colleges. Since returning from Europe in 1933, she has taught English' to students from foreign colleges at the College of the City of New York; taught education courses in the division of graduate studies at Brooklyn college; and at present is a member of the faculty of New York university. "What do I think of Western Washington, college? So far—the students compare very favorably with those of my own as far as ambition, interest, and application to work goes. Whether summer school students are typical of this college, I'don't know, but I have never met better students, maybe, it's because the students of the West are bigger and better. / "The material published by the people of this college is in the forefront of the ranks of the best educational forethought of the country." ,~ AMIRICAN "Ice Follies of 1939/' presenting Joan Crawford starred with James Stewart and Lew Ayres.

The men of Bellingham were sparked by the playing of the two regulars of the past season, Nelson and Eyer. Only ten players were taken on the^trip and this number was cut one when Chuck Fisher turned his ankle while executing a pivot shot in the warm-up preceding the game. The university team was coached -by Peek. The playing of right forward Brown and substitute center -Schwartz was especially worthy of attention. The game was played on the intramural floor of the university pavilion and was divided into four ten-minute quarters instead of the regular twenty-minute halves out of consideration for the not overly-conditioned players. At the end of the first period Lappy's men led by a score of 10 to 9. By the end of the half-time period the men of Washington had a 25 to 24 edge. By the three-quarter marker the Huskies had stepped up their advantage to the tune of 38 to 31. In the final ten minutes each team garnered eight points making the final count University, 46; Western Washington college, 39. Besides Eyer and Nelson, ex-varsity stars, the Vikings used Loms-dale and Hollingsworfch of intramural fame this year and the stars of other years, Steve the Stab-ber Turk, Homer Big Boy Morris, Louie Shaffer and the real old timer, Bright, who still had enough of the old spark to show men half his age a few tricks of the game. The ninth man of the Viking aggregation was Jim Bever, who according to Coach Lappenbusch is improving rapidly, and is practically a cinch to be one of next year's lettermen. For the U. of W., Jewell, Bellingham high basketball coach, starred for the few minutes he was in the game making six points in the one quarter in which he played. Harold Nelson, Viking veteran, was high point man with nineteen counters.

Tomorrow on Skyline, novices will learn to handle themselves in the snow. On Church a week later they will get a steady, uphill climb. Details of the Church climb are the same as for Skyline in the matter of equipment, time, etc. See page one for the Skyline story. Temperance Play For Playgoers Presenting the play "Ten Nights in a Bar Room" from July 12 to 15, the Bellingham Theatre guild will inaugurate its first summer season. "Ten Nights in a Bar Room" is a well known temperance drama, portraying the evils of drink in a melodramatic manner. There is a good deal of humor, both intentional and otherwise. The summer play is an innovation, never having been attempted before by the guild. If the presentation is successful, the experiment will be continued. Students from WWC will be admitted on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at the special rate of 25 cents. Seats will be available at the Co-op.

Earl Vogt was second with 146 tallies while Stan White and Harold Kvam tied for third with 148's. This made it necessary for Chase to pick up four strokes on the last round in order to get into the second place pay dirt. Chase not only picked up these four counters at the Bellingham Golf and Country club last Sunday, but also pulled away from the rest of the field 4 strokes ahead of Kvam who placed third. Chase was in a five-way tie for second place in the initial round at Birch bay with a 72. In the middle 18 at Lakeway he got into trouble and scored a 77 on the par 70 course. In the final round Chase's 74 on the par 71 Country club links battered down all opposition except the winner who was never headed. Besides making second place, Chase executed the most brilliant shot of the tournament on the Country club's 15th hole by sinking a 125-yard pitch shot with a No. 8 iron to score an eagle 2.

Of course this price is hot good on Saturday afternoons, Sundays, or holidays. You say you would play if you had the clubs? Well, that can be arranged, too. For 35 cents you can rent a set.

Dale Our attention has been called to the fact that, in spite of the "No corsage" sign that was hung out by members of the Norsemen's dance committee and" published for two week's prior to the event, several corsage orders being filled by local florists were canceled at the last minute l a st Friday. It is strictly for your convenience that many local floral shops do not require deposits as orders are taken.

Armistice Day Plans Ready For Assembly Elaborate preparations are being made by the Music department of Western Washington College for the Armistice Day assembly, November 7. Dr. Frank D'Andrea, Bernard Regier, and Don Walter have prepared a program which consists of a varied and interesting assortment of talent To start the assembly off, the band, under the direction of Walter, will play some appropriate music leading into the National Anthem and the flag salute. The audience will then join together to sing one verse of "America." Quartets to Sing The college male quartet, including Duane Lewis, Glenn Bergh, Fred DeBruler, and Roland Peterson, will present three selections: "Beloved Land," "Sibelins," and "I Love a Parade." The newly formed and harmonious string quartet will also play the beloved "Andante," by Tschaikowsky. A s o p r a n o s o l o , "Roses of Picardy," will be sung by Barbara Stockton, Glenn Bergh, the tenor of the quartet, will give a vocal solo, "Americans Come." Fred DeBruler, another quartet baritone, will sing, "America the Beautiful." Norma Jean Swan will play a violin solo. Choir to Sing The college a cappella choir will blend their voices in three selections, "In Endless Song," by Guy Booth; "Death and the Maiden," by Schubert; and "Grand Old Flag," by George M. Cohan. The date again is November 7, the place, the college auditorium. Parents Asked To Visit WWC Letters inviting parents of freshmen students to attend a special "Parent's Day" held annually at WWC will be in the mail soon, according to Declan Barron of the invitations committee. ^ The occasion, which is designed to further relations between parents and the college will, be held November 16. A program and tea in Edens hall, and conducted campus tours, will constitute the program for the day. Students are asked to invite their parents," said Barron, "and are assured that this is not a means whereby parents can check on the progress of students." One Will Be Elected Queen Sigrid —Photo by Bernie Lepeska. When shown the above photo picturing the ten lovely gals competing for the coveted positions of HOMECOMING QUEEN and PRINCESSES one enthusiastic admirer sagely retorted "There is enough beauty in this photo to make Casanova turn over in his grave." Candidates pictured above are: sitting (I t o r ) MIMI ANDERSON, LOIS KING, GLORIA CAREY, JOANNE KNOWLES, HAROLDINE RUTH-RUFF and BILLIE LEWIS; standing (I. to r ) MARYIJUNE EIDE, MARTHA MONAGHAN, CLAIRE WILSON and CAROL NYQUIST. A slight deviation from former years procedure for the selection of an aspirant who will become Homecoming Queen was announced today by Dan Northcutt and Marijune Eide of the Queen committee. As in previous years the royal court will consist of one queen and four princesses. The queen will be selected by popular vote of the student body. The two runnerups will be the princesses from the two upper classes regardless if they are both of the same class or not In addition, one sophomore and one freshman princess will be elected. Voting will occur in the auditorium at a special Homecoming program November 10. IRC Representatives Journey To UBC For Congress Meet Delegates to the International Relations Club Congress to be held at the University of British Columbia, November 21-22, were chosen in a special meeting of the WWC IRC Tuesday evening, October 28. An even dozen IRC members, headed by club president Bob Ingersoll, will attend the two day conclave. Theme of the congress will be "Can the Split Between East and West be Reconciled?" Among other business taken up in the special meeting was the question of accepting new members. For a time, the question threatened to disrupt the meeting, but eventually it was decided that new members could be admitted immediately. English Department Publication "The Writer" Makes Fall Debut By BOB DICKSON, ASB Vice-President The Writer, created last year, to serve as an outlet for the creative writings of WWC students, has grown in stature with each succeeding issue. Since it is composed entirely of material submitted by the students to a student board of publishers, it's continued existence depends on a constant flow of new material from the pens of the students. The latest issue of "The Writer" contains less variety than previous issues. However, some of the present contributions show a marked improvement in literary ability. King Repeats Easily the best work of fiction is A. R. King's "So Is It Now," which is vastly superior to his "Corn Cob" which appeared last spring. "So Is It Now" is a fast moving, well written story of a teen-age sailor on shore leave with a month's pay in his pocket and an inner conflict between a desire for social approval and recognition by his shipmates, and the moralistic training of his childhood. Author King writes with an ease and ability which makes for very enjoyable reading. Karason Returns Another writer whose current contribution surpasses h i s previous works is Halldor Karason, and his essay on "Koestler, the Disillusioned" might' well serve as a model for students who have term papers to write. Karason gives the reader an insight into some of the under-lying reasons for the inescapable bitterness and outright cynicism w'lich is found in the worKs of Arthur Koestler, one of the great contemporary authors. ' Local Poets Two newcomers to the difficult field of poetry, Lola Samuelson and A. Nabor, show definite promise, with Miss Samuelson's "Living" meriting more than just passing notice. R. B. Moblo's "Musician's Malady" doesn't compare with his music ability, in that it lacks the color and vigor of style so necessary in all literary efforts. Thornton M. Ford's "Essay on Higher Education" contains some well meaning thoughts, but. is lacking in organization. "All-American" Writing in an overworked, pressrelease style, S. J. McLaughlin's "All American" fails in its attempt to combine humor with satire despite the authors apparent borrowing of such names as "Polecat University" and "Salonica" from Al Capp's famous comic strip. An anonymous selection entitled "A College Course for Security," and your reviewer doesn't blame the author for wishing to remain unknown, concludes this issue of The Writer. (Ed's. Note: The Writer will be distributed to all English classes. Others interested in obtaining copies may get them from either Dr. Ce-derstrom or Mr. O'Brien.) Competing, for honors to represent the senior class .as queen are Martha Monoghan and Claire Wilson. Both candidates are transfer students to WWC from Seattle colleges. Miss Monaghan is a 19-year-old education major from Bellingham, while Miss Wilson a 21-year-old brownette from Aberdeen, is a primary education student. The junior class reached deep into their horde of beauties and nominated Gloria Carey of Bellingham, and Lois King, Shelton, to be their queen applicants. Both Miss Carey and Miss King were Publications Prom princess candidates l a st spring. Senior hall claims King as a resident there while Edens hall girls are reported to be strong Carey supporters. First of the three sophomores in the contest is Mimi Anderson, 19- year-old fishing enthusiast from Friday Harbor. Miss Anderson is a repeat contestant from the 1946 q u e e n campaign. Next in line, according to alphabetical order is Marijune Eide, 19, sophomore art major f r om Bellingham. Blond, blue-eyed Eide was also a Publications Prom candidate. Lovely Joanne Knowles concludes the list of girls offered by the sophomore class. Miss Knowles, 18-year-old student from Seattle, is another education major The largest class in the history of WWC offer Billie Lewis, Carol Ny-quist and Haroldine Ruthruff for the inspection ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 October 31 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bdlingham, Washington Friday; Octofeer 31; i»t7: O^itoiiaU . ... Proposed Revision Passed by Board A long overdue constitutional revision (as provided " in Article XVI11 "of the ASB constution) of that section per- - taining to the nominating convention (Article VI11, Section 1) is.welf underway and wi11 be presented to students on the ballots issued for the November. 12 election. This revision deserved, the considered attention of every college student. Veteran WWC students recall the furor created following the nominating convention prior to the election of the ASB preside'nt and vice-president this spring. A true over-all picture of the fallacy and inadequacy of the present method of electing ASB officers and Board of Control members was impressed upon students. It was proven that little group representation was actually being displayed. Instead of individuals acting as their, organization had dictated that they should they would often times cast aside their own- candidate and support who ever their own personal selves desired. IS THIS REPRESENTATION? It has happened in the past . . . possibly for years . . . it happened last year . .' -. isn't it plausible to presume that it will occur again at the coming convention. SUCH AN ANTEDATED NOMINATING DEVICE SHOULD BE OBLITERATED IMMEDIATELY. Campaign Platforms Remembered Students campaigning during the last spring quarter election gave considerable room on their platform for an immediate revision of this section of our constitution. Voters backing these candidates have not forgotten. Questions have been asked all this quarter . . . "Where are the results of that 'campaign oratory' which flowed so freely last spring?" Such a revision has been adopted by a constitutional committee appointed by the Board of Control. At Wednesday's board meeting it was approved by the board. As provided by Article XVIII it is up to you as individual voters to decide the fate of this revision. For your consideration, and discussion a rough draft of the proposal is printed. This draft is not worded exactly as it will appear on ballots but the essence is here: Compare This With Present Procedure 1. Each club and class may nominate 1 (one) candidate and 1 (one) alternate for each position open. (6thweek of each quarter.) 2. Following nominations of candidates clubs and. classes must submit names to president of ICC for certification. 6. Names of all certified candidates- will be placed on ballot to be voted on in primary election to be held the Wednesday of the seventh week of each quarter. 4. The three candidates for each position receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary election shall have their names placed on the ballot Tor the general election. 5. The general election shall be held the Wednesday of the eighth week of each quarter. 6. No sticker candidates in primary election. Sticker candidates will be allowed in the general election only if the petition is signed by one-tenth of the student body. , 7. Provisions for run-of-fs will be publicized later. Constitution Needs Airing Occasionally When you study this, either individually or collectively, remember that constitutions are not cold rigid documents that go on with ages. Instead they are resilient fabrications designed to be altered as an altering society necessitates that they be revised. Freshmen students are particularly encouraged to study the above proposal. The students that you elect to represent you are the trustees of thousands of student dollars. If more competent bankers can be obtained under a new election procedure then it is within our power and duty to instigate a new method. Clubs Activities Explained Separate meetings of the all-college AWS and Norsemen clubs took place at the usual students' assembly last Friday to acquaint everyone with those organizations. The AWS meeting was directed by its president, Gloria Carey who led a discussion on projects for the coming year. Arlene Swanson, vice-president, introduced the members of the AWS commissoin and explained the offices of the club. A musical program followed the business session. The Norsemen were called to order by President Ron Dodge who explained the purposes ofthe men's organization. The faculty adviser, Clyde McDonald, made a few observations concerning campus regulations. The' rest of the meeting consisted of colored films about football. Ted Gary, president of the council, then introduced the lead-ing officers of each club on the campus who in turn told something of the purposes and activities in which they were engaged.

Radio Class Springs Off to 6ood Start By GLEN WOLF "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Bob Robertson bringing you the latest news from the freshman class at Western Washington College." This was only one of the five student voices heard on the WWC newscast over KVOS, Thursday, October 23, a t 4:45 p. ni. The college radio class got off to a good start with their first program which included a brief history of WWC and its athletic department. Listeners were informed of all current school news, the drama department's new play, "The Skin of Our Teeth," and the results of the freshman class elections. ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 October 31 - Page 3 ---------- ^PpP^^p^i^W^'St^©^ 'S;35Ss£;: ^Friday; October 31; 1947 Western Washington C ^ l e g e # Education^ fejlin^h V Harborview Today is Hallowe'en and more things are brewing at Harbor-view than the proverbial witches brew. Over a cauldron bubbling w i t h ' w i t t y ideas may be seen the- lovely members of the Homecoming display committee, trying desperately to cook lt; up something different and eye-appealing enough to "cop the cup from Daniels!" Yep, they're really in a stew . . . The Homecoming skit committee is also busy on their project, but with so much talent in the house that shouldn^t be too difficult. They have several good ideas lined up, and we all know that with Dolly Mac- Arthur for chairman it will be a darn good show . . .Aside from these activities the girls are all pretty busy lining up dates for the Edens hall tolo shipwreck party. Costumes are going to be quite a problem to the kids here . . . none of us have ever been shipwrecked. (At least not to the knowledge of this house reporter!) Editors: Penn and Hanson Men's Residence Hall "In the wee small hours of morning, when the cold gray dawn settles o'er^comes a gentle tapping, tapping, at the window on the first front floor." When the housemother asks you to bring your problems to her, Cooper, you shouldn't wa.it until the wee small hours to do that. And then again it could have been "the man , with the green unbrella" . . . To be "short-sheeted" once in an . evening would be lesson enough, but twice—and within a few minutes after the first time . . . It's at the dinner table that we hear so many fine, rich tenors and Saturday eve's dniner brought out one such golden-voiced troubador . . . Ryan spent another weekend at home learning how to knit . . .' Put a leash on that fish of yours, Lenning, and you will have less chance of losing it again . . . Can't think of anything with which to mention Charlie Ray's name . . . This is getting worse. Daniels Hall For those who are wondering why lights are on at Daniels at 1:00 and 2:00 a. m. for the past week, the explanation lies with the mid-term tests. Besides, what the heck are you doing out that time of night anyway? . . . Guys are getting knocked off like flies, what with gettin' married or engaged. Leroy Wade and John Terrey are entered oh the going list that heads the long line of gone boys . . . See you at Whitworth. Mathes House The Norsemen's dance kept several of the boys out of the infirmary, until Monday, when all cards and magazines disappeared from the house. There is nothing to do but study around here now . . . Al Iraola was drafted as chairman of the Homecoming committee at our last house meeting. Chaos and pandemonium •will no "doubt reign at Mathes on November 15 under his able direction. Senior Hall Never let it be said Senior hall is a dull place. Things started early Friday afternoon when Alice Robbins, Shirley Harrison and Jo Rucker were in a car accident coming home from school. Jo was cut" badly around) the face. All three were bruised and have been limping around the house. Several of the gals attended the Norsemen's dance, among them was "Oh ho" Phyllis Jones and "Oh ho" Mary Baker. Two girls were in Seattle for the U. of W. homecoming, and Betty Butler went home but not to see her folks. Madge McKeever also went home to Hoquiam. Phyl Armstrong has been sounding like a foghorn because of a bad throat. Then there are the girls who have been trying to learn, to inhale! and last, but not least, there's one King in this school who will get our vote for Queen. Edens Hall What with all t h e c a l s making posters and working on committees for our coming "Shpiwreck Shuffle" dance, it's beginning to sound like a crew of the Navy has taken over Edens hall. (On second thought, from the looks of the monitor room last week-end, maybe they have!) In case anyone hasn't heard or just doesn't know what the appropriate costume for the big event is, ask any Edenite and we'll set you straight. Jeannine Guy is doing a swell job as chairman of the affair, and promises that it'll be the best all-college tolo to hit the campus . . . Edens. hall is proud to announce that we also are represented in the Homecoming Queen contest by Claire Wilson, lovely senior candidate . . . It seems Cy Systma and Bev Cameron are trying to compete with Danger-field twins. They say there's no similarity, but even the faculty are getting them mixed up. Codtd that be trie reason they've been going out alternately with the same fellow? . . . Charlotte Ellis found out the hard way the other night that we do not wander about the dining room conversing during meal time. "Simon Legree" Still gave her the word Off-Campus Girls This is the Off-Campus Girls coming to you on the ghost to ghost hook-up for another week. We're just getting in the.spirit for our "Haunted House Mixer" tonight in the Junior high gym. Grab your favorite ghoul friend or come a hauntin', and we'll rattle around . . . Hallowe'en isn't exactly the time for romance to bud but — oh, Irene! . . . Seen at the Norsemen's dance Friday night was Gerry Dillon with Charlie "Blue Bolt" Borden; also, June Hardin with the cute Cecil Thomas . . . Peggy Nunamaker seems to be finding an added attraction in football lately. What "Tye's" it up, Peggy? . . . Jean Felhaber needs a lot of "Scoll" these days, and it isn't from a sun lamp either . . . Ivaloe Stillman gets the "Blues" when it rains. Could be from your pom-pom . . . We would like to know who the Off-Campus girl was who went up to the men's residence hall to .-use the telephone, and spent the rest of her time wandering around the halls with Les Winders. Sounds like fun. . Hospice Inn Bowling discussions at Hospice Inn are rife this week with, the Hospice "A" team, consisting of four Jacks and a Fred leading the league, with Hospice "B" team, captained by LaVern Brock-mier, coming along in second place . . . With the idea in mind of getting everybody in the house to play, men from "the best house on the hill" are playing basketball on teams all over the campus. The result at home is a percentage that reads something like .000. Don Fink reported the other night, "We got hot tonight, we only lost by 13 points." . . . Bill Meyer has a head full of ideas for the Homecoming program. Bill is chairman of the house committee on that activity . . . Ben Cary, pianist, has joined the ranks of the Hospice . . . . *Nuff said—Friday Harbor! December Wedding Plans Revealed Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Eide, of Bellingham,- announce the engagement of their daughter, Marijune, to Wade S. Haggard, son of Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Haggard. Last year Miss Eide was a candidate for Publication Prom princess while this year she is not only co-chairman of the queen committee for Homecoming but also a nominee from the sophomore class for princess. Haggard, also very active in student affairs, was Homecoming chairman for 1946, and head of the pep committee this year. . ; After their late December wedding, Haggard will continue with his work toward a BA in education.

""^ , The Vik 37 yard line was the starting point for a Western march that resulted in 6 more points for the first half tally. The theme of the touchdown play was razzle dazzle, in the form of Hal Partlow, end, taking the ball on and end around for a four yard dance over the Idaho home line. 9-0 was the fate handed to the lads from Idaho as the half-time gun sounded. Viks Show Power The Vik forward wall was responsible for the next score to be chalked up. Prank Gayda, back for Western, fumbled the ball to have it recovered by Idaho. When Gordon White, punter for the Loggers, attempted to kick out of trouble, behind his own goal line, the kick was blocked, for an automatic safety. The kickoff saw the Viks roll again, when Truman Pones returned the ball to the Idaho 43. The Vik power and backfield elusiveness came through again, and Svidran plowed over from the 3 yard line for another third period score. Clayton's kick was good. Gil Stewart set up the next Blue and White tally with a recovery on the Logger 13 yard line. Poe powered his way over from the five yard mark. Simpson to Scoll W i t h replacements leading the field the Viks-clicked again. Lee Simpson flipped one to Bob Scoll, and the lad took off for touchdown territory. In the last few minutes of play West-ren threatened again, only to be turned back by a fighting Logger defense. ^faaiqkt jiom ike Bench. by peters Dr. Lapp's hilltop boys are far from out of the conference race and they demonstrated this in a non-conference tilt with the North Idaho State Teachers last Saturday.. They completely overran the Loggers and chalked up an impressive 30-0 victory. The first tally was made by the man with the educated toe, Walt Clayton, as he kicked a field goal from the 10 yard line in the first few minutes of the game. Hal Partlow took the ball about midway in the second quarter and went four yards around end for the score. In the third period the Loggers attempted to kick out from their 8 but the attempt was fouled by most of the Vik squad, which rushed in and blocked it for an automatic safety—making the count 11-0. Although Clayton didn't make the extra point on Hal Partlow's play he did connect after Art Svidran carried the ball over from the three yard line. Early in the fourth period Gil Stewart recovered Gordon White's fumble on the Idaho 13. After a penalty Big Tom Poe took the ball five yards for the count. Dr. Lapp kept throwing in replacements and then on a pass play, Lee Simpson, to Bob Scoll, Scoll picked up a lot of friendly interference and took a short jog across. Western's air arm was much more accurate than it has been for some time. The squad completed six passes of twelve attempts. The Idaho teachers, in eleven tries, only completd two. The line play of Western was really outstanding and they dished out some real punishment to the Loggers. Bob Gates did a fine job as quarterback, taking Mel Lindbloom's place. Twenty-two Western ball players, Coach Bill McDonald, trainer, and Les Smith, assistant coach, will leave Bellingham by plane tomorrow morning. This is the first time in the season that the ball club has used planes. This morning three cars of players left to try to beat the rest over to the dueling grounds. Looks as if Coach Bill McDonald can really take his pick for this year's basketball squad—more than 60 players turned out for the first day of practice—last Monday. However, many of last year's lettermen are still in football uniforms and therefore will miss the first game of the season. Of the 60 men that first turned out he will pick twenty from which he may choose prospective team members. Look out Whitworth! The Vikings are still very much on the warpath and they're headed your way! After handing the North Idaho Teachers a 30-0 whitwashing, which is more lopsided than most had expected, the Viks went right back into training for the Spokane contest tomorrow. Luckily Coach Lappenbusch's squad pulled through with no serious injuries so they are all set for the Pirates' homecoming game, but by the looks of things that will be a tough game. Not only will the thin air be hard to cope with for the Blue and White squad but the Whitworth boys will be full of homecoming spirit and also, they will be playing on their own field. Coach Lapp is well satisfied with the way the starting lineup worked out last Saturday so he plans to use the same men to start tomorrow. ..However, if Mel Lindbloom is able to play he will probably take the quarterback position, instead of Bob Gates. This set up will put Jack Frazier - in the center position with "Moose" Zurline and George Yonlick at tackle. Right and left ends will be taken over by Hal Partlow and Dave Smith while Jim Kent and George Salesgiver are put down as guards. Lee Stout and Jerry Karnofski will take care of the halfback positions and Art Svidran is left to manage as fullback. The first round of intramural basketball ends November 18. However, there will be enough time for the six top teams to play a second round. The teams are becoming more evenly matched and the final scores are closer together—except for one or two lopsided games. Both of the leagues have a decided, undefeated leader—at the present time. But they are going to have to go some to keep ahead of the rest of the league. A couple of those squads down in the lower1 brackets are looking pretty good.

The remainder have left in cars Cowboy Keown Guards Again By CECIL THOMAS Possibly a little older than the average of the Viking squad but absolutely no less versatile, 25 year old Chuck "Cowboy^_JKeown has proved himself to be one of the most able right guards ever to play in the Vik lineup. When, necessary, "Cowboy" also fills the quarterback position with near equal ability. With a 5 ft. 7 in. 190 lb. frame to maneuver against the opposition, he proves that he's a tough opponent to —Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald any opposing defense or offense thrown up.
