Thiswriter is questioning Mr. Poldevart's intelligence solely on the content of his letter of last week. The criticproduced a whole four paragraphs of wide sweeping generalities without the slightest attempt atsupporting his profound statements. Let me quote Mr. Poldevart: "It is the opinion of this writer that themajority of student government personnel at this time are immature and irresponsible." Isn't thatconclusive? Why are the legislators immature? What legislation have they passed that shows evidence of immaturity? What evidence is there that marks the legislators as irresponsible? None of thesequestions did Mr. Poldevart answer, and yet he made the irrevocable statement that a majority of the legislators are immature and irresponsible. Anyone can generalize. To this writer's knowledge Mr.Poldevart has never contacted these legislators and voiced his concern. By the nature of his letter hemust feel that something drastically wrong is going on in the Legislature. And yet not a word to the"coordinators of lethargy." Possibly Mr. Poldevart would like to see a reoccurance of last year's dramatic Legislature with all its glory, note passing (What was it? white and yellow notes? It depended of courseto which camp you belonged.) machines, and impressive speeches. Because this year's governing bodyaren't a group of hams (last year they even got to perform on stage in front of 600 people) and say whatthey mean instead of what sounds good, Mr. Pole-vart wonders "What the hell is going to happen tous"? Larry Ernst OUT WITH AMOS My Dear Editor, Within the past few minutes I have mosied throughthe pages of the Collegian for December 4 and found it to be just what I expected. However, for thepurpose of this particular letter I shall put aside all petty gripes (or whatever you may choose to callthem) and attack one Stacy Tucker who seems to see it as his God-intended duty to burden the readers with his asinine reviews of whatever may come to the campus under the guise of the A L program. Itwould seem to me that whatever persons are selected by the committee to be the guests of thecollege on the A L program are certainly more competent in their particular fields than any Neophytewriter on the staff of the Collegian. It would seem to me that Mr. Tucker, in this particular review, isgroping for the right thing to say and in his groping becomes wallowed down in the "spontaneous me"which traps so many would-be journalists when they attempt to show their professional style and wit.Mr. Tucker . . . If yau despair of having even an audience for your work, why do you even bother towrite? Page 2 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN December 11, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 11 - Page 3 ---------- If your airplane leaves in ten minutes, then for God's sake, why don't you leap aboard and stop afflictingthe long-suffering readers with your hackneyed expressions and modified cliches I thought that thisstyle of writing went out when Amos volunteered his draft and left Western for good. In the future, let'sjust write when we have something to say. An interested alum, Gordon Harms UNJUSTIFIABLESELECTION Dear Sirs: In regards to the present system of Tolo King Candidates, we believe that thepresent process of selection should be completely revised; because: A. The present system is notin any way representative of the student body, because the power of selection is limited to theextremely small minority of students. B. This in turn can lead to nomination because of friendship orpopularity with those in power. C. This we feel is not fair to the women students of Western as it affordsthem no real opportunity to have as Tolo King, a true representative. The afore mentioned resultsperhaps in an unjustifiable selection of candidates. I believe that the method of selecting candidatesshould be based on the principle presently used in the selection of Homecoming Queen Candidates,with a few changes: Candidates are chosen on a petition basis of 25 names per petition. The candidates then appear before a board comprised of the entire body of class officers. Two candidates from eachclass are subsequently elected. Final voting is done by all registered women of the student body.—Two Western Students LEGISLATURE Give Him a Chance By MIKE BARNHART It is weekly notedthat the Student Legislature must act upon some proposal that will, on many occasions, affect theentire student body. The Legislature, as a representative body, is asked on these occasions to voicethe opinions of its constituents. But, so often the people seated in the chamber must proceed largelyupon their own feelings and opinions because they are unaware of the average student's feelingsconcerning even a portion of the ASB; but it is possible for a large number of students to contact him.Inform the Legislators It is my opinion that if this body is to represent the students as a whole then itbehooves the students to inform the legislators of his or her feelings. This would includeconsideration of pending proposals and also any legitimate gripe or suggestion that would bear uponthe students and their facilities. Of course, to do this the student body must be aware of o comingissues. It would seem plausible and feasible, therefore, that the pending agenda of the ASB Presidentbe made available for all to read so that matters to be considered on any given Wednesday could bethought over and appropriate opinions extended by the reader to any legislative member. Mfftdistiture. I have often heard scathing and obscene remarks about the Student Legislature, and more oftenthan not facts behind the remarks are completely or partially untrue and biased. This is not the fault ofany particular person or body of persons; rather it is the typical thing of student government. But, thisneed not exist. If everyone is informed of the means and the 'to whoms,' they are then given vent to theopportunity of vocal or written criticism; then the matter of criticism becomes a positive rather than anegative force. Similarly, the student legislator should know if what you have to air is committeematerial or something of such stature to warrent a spot on the ASB President's weekly agenda. Plying the ether Finally, to achieve even a semblance of representation, your words must be heard. That is, ifyou desire positive action or satisfaction. If you do not want this, then continue plying the ether of theStudent Lounge with the usual platitudes and disapprovals of ASB action. Do your part, contact one ofthese people and tell him what you approve or disapprove—it's his duty to represent his constituentsas best possible. Give him a chance and a word or two occasionally and he will do just that— serveyou, IF you're interested. 'Piece o£ ^ofee . . . By BOB STEVENSON, Collegian Artist, ColumnistAcross the expance of grass any blacktop, even through the bird sanctuary, you could see the menfleeing. Edens Hall doors burst open with a resounding crash as the hords of women cooped up formonths as social outcasts, burst forth for the chase. There was Pig-Gal and Mammy Yokem and all theothers out to trap, slap and run their man into the ground. The red noses were quite prominent on manya dogpatch damsel owing to the cold weather it was explained. This writer tends to believe that the rosycolor was brought about by holiday season spirits. Yes, Western had a Sadie Hawkins day. You didn't hear about it? Well it was held under the auspicious name of AWS tolo, or 'In the Mood'. There must besomething Freudian about the large turnout at this function. In the formative weeks of 1960 a new speech correction course will be set up out of necessity. Necessity, because a member of the speechdepartment seated in the Coffee Shop enjoying the music over and over again, was blasted out ofhis chair by a voice over the P.A. system. Fri-i-i-i-e-e-e-es! It has been said that sitting in the CoffeeShop is like sitting in a bus depot. This statement is true because the microphone English and dictionsounds like it was picked up in a bus depot. The course, it is understood, is not really new, but verycorrective. You take a mouthful of marbles and give a short talk. If the talk is good you may remove onemarble and start over. When you graduate from this course it can truly be said that you have lost all your marbles.

In his address Sunday at the formal dedication of the VikingUnion, President Jarrett talked of the need for different places in the college to suit the needs of thestudents, and he talked of the impression beauty makes on our lives. The audience was small and thepeople scattered; but they listened. PRESIDENT JARRETT "Education and Beauty" "In a college,"Jarrett said, "there has to be a place for talking, a place for reading, a place to listen and a place forwriting."—These encompass the primary functions of a college. He supposed there could even be acollege in old army barracks which could carry on its duties properly, but there would be a loss ofsomething through the lack of beauty in the surroundings. The surroundings influence our thinking andour appreciation. Although we forget much of what we learn, some does rub off on us and affects ourlives. And so we have our Viking Union— as President Jarrett has said, "a place for talking aboutideas." Ideas are an essential part of our education, and, as Jarrett also said, "The talk ought to prosperbecause of the beautiful surroundings." UNION BOARD More Than a Play-Pen "This will be more than a college size play-pen." This sentence sums up the action taken by the Union Board when afterconsiderable discussion and December 11, 1959 consideration they attempted to solve two pressingproblems. Since the lounge off the Coffee Shop is in demand during most of the busy hours, it is difficultto find space for i n f o r m a l seminars and discussion groups, and to provide an area for study wherecoffee or refreshments may be taken. (It seems obvious that the board could not allow refreshments inthe main lounge upstairs.) The appalling mess left by those using the games room prior to Mondayevening made the board think perhaps they had inadvertently furnished a play pen. This is the first areapeople see as htey enter our building, and the first impression visitors receive is important. The boardconsidered this possible answer to the problem: Extra help could be hired to police and clean theroom. In the past the mess has been ignored until "discretion became the better part of valor" and theshovels (literally) were sent in. Since the additional cost of a games room patrol wolud force the priceof coffee refills up to a dime, many students may not support the plan. We have asked forconsideration collectively and individually in the past few weeks, to no apparent avail. We have a needfor this room, which we feel will be more useful, productive, and efficient. None of us on the board wantto pay another nickel for our refills; we don't think that you do, either. So we have prohibited card-playingin the building until facilities are more adequate. VALKYRIE To Promote Enthusiasm Havingsubmitted application for membership, on which they stated their high school and college activities andtheir reasons for wanting membership in Valkyrie, seven new members were elected into the clubthis past week. Application was open to any girl with at least two quarters of residence behind them and a 2.4 grade average. According to president Arlene Richens, the purpose of this honorary service club is to "promote enthusiastic support of school activities, to display constant high standards of socialconduct and to encourage these qualities in other girls." Their main projects during the year aresponsorship of the Homecoming Ball, ushering at major college events and a joint sponsorship alongwith Helmsmen of the World University Service. WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN BUILDINGSMetamorphosis 1960 When the students of Western Washington College come back to school afterChristmas vacation, they will see the continuance of the metamorphosis that began on this campuslast fall. With eight buildings to be begun or continued, the student will look forward to the completionand use of these vitally needed additions to the college. The Haggard Hall of Science, situated across the street from the Auditorium, is beginning to look like a finished product already, although muchremains to be done. The addition of glass windows to the block-long structure has taken awayconsiderably from the cell-block appearance we have witnessed for so long. The impression ofmassiveness is most evident in the student mind, in looking over the future classroom and laboratory space. South of Highland Drive, the student comes upon the site of the future men's dormitory, to bebuilt directly south of Highland Hall. To the west, and over the brow of the hill, the new Westerngymnasium will be located. A beautiful building, both in exterior design and in utility, the plans call forstarting dates early in 1960 and completion by December of that year. An addition to the college boilerplant is scheduled to be constructed early next year. Also planned for the growing campus is anaddition to the college library. At one time or another you have probably noticed the inadequacy of thepresent facilities. While there seems to be a yearning for reading and learning, the library is presently not able to handle the demand. Back across High Street, two buildings of concern to the students willmake their appearance on the face of Sehome. To the south of the Viking Union will be located the futurestudent- owned Cooperative Bookstore. To the north will be a centralized dining hall and an extensionof the Union dancing floor. Each of these buildings will fit into the architectural pattern alreadyestablished in the Viking Union. "Enough different to tell each building from the other" is an adequatesummation of the pattern of exterior design for the three buildings. The final phase of the WesternMetamorphosis 1960 is in the new women's dormitory, to be constructed in the present Edens Hallparking lot. This, too will begin to appear during early 1960. With all the construction that will soon takeplace on the campus, it might be more profitable for a student to quit taking classes and to get a job inconstruction! Page 5 ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 11 - Page 6 ---------- ARTIST LECTURE "I Love My Work" By CAROLYN NEWTON Needing no introduction, BlancheThebom walked smilingly onto Western's stage last Friday night and received a mild applause from the two-thirds full auditorium. A well-chosen program coupled with her obvious enjoyment of her work soonhad the audience under her spell. Speaking of her sparkling, expressive eyes, which matched herglittering diamond necklace, one member of the audience was overheard saying "those eyes getyou!" BLANCHE THEBOM She has been a major member of the Metropolitan Opera Company sinceshe made her debut during the 1944-1945 season. Her appearances on the Telephone Hour and her large repertoire of recordings for RCA Victor and Columbia Masterworks have made her known to millionsoutside the opera house. First in the Soviet Union Last year as a part of the cultural exchange program,Miss Thebom was the first American woman opera singer to perform in the Soviet Union, where shemade a widely-hailed tour. Her appearance at Western was a part of her annual coast-to-coast tour of 30 cities. Playing the part of Carmen, Miss Thebom's rendition of "Habanera", a slow, seductive song from"Carmen", was the highlight of the evening. Sad, weary, happy, carefree, gay, and flirtatious expressions were seen oh her face, which reflected the emotions of her well-trained voice, as her mood changedwith each song. Although she was obviously singing under the disadvantage of a throat irritation, her voice remained for the most part clear and agreeable. As one of her three encores she sang a Swedishfolk song her mother used to sing to her. It told the story of a young man walking on a highway on Page6 ' a beautiful day. Upon meeting a young lady who was even more beautiful than the day, the youngman says "Oh my heart, what has become of you?" Following the program, those who went backstagefor autographs discovered she has a very friendly personality. Speaking of the program, MissThebom stated "I love my work, especially when there is a responsive audience." BACHELORSCLUB Subject to Approval Members of the Legislature fingered through some hectographed sheets lastweek as Tolo king George Kuybus rested on his casted leg and presented "a way of initiating andcontinuing school spirit and tradition." Kuybus was acting as president of the newly-formed Bachelor'sClub, and the sheets the Legislature had before them contained the organization's constitution.Advisor Murray argued that the purpose of the organization was not clearly stated and Kuybus,backed by officers and organizing members of the club showed where the purpose was stated clearlyin the preamble. Then Dr. Murray argued that the organization seemed a fraternal organization orsocial clique and was therefore unwanted. The group stated that theirs was not a "service club," thoughit would attempt to assist organizations of that type, and their limited number of juniors and seniors(50 members) was to provide more effective workability. Arguments came both for and against. Murray proposed they review the club at a later date after an article in their constitution was changed.Discussion followed; the proposal was voted down. It was agreed that the club would be recognized,subject to approval by an examining committee. One Member Commented "Our purpose is to initiateand continue school spirit and tradition through upper class participation," the bachelors declare. They want to start new traditions as well as supporting the established, and "with a growing school such as ours, the ideas should also expand." Officers for the Bachelors include p r e s i d e n t Kuybus, vice-president Chuck Knight, secretary Dale Ross-hart and Chuck Bertrand, treasurer. They are supported by social studies instructor Donald Swedmark as faculty advisor and Mr. Harley Hiller. "We're sick," onemember commented, "Sick and tired of the lack of spirit and participation in school events by theupper classmen." As if indicating some future accomplishment, he went on: "We aim to change . . ."ASTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN CHRISTMAS CONCERT Slated for Monday An invitation to thegeneral public to attend the annual Christmas Concert at Western Washington College in Bellinghamwas extended today by the College administration and the music department. The concert is scheduledfor Monday evening, December 14, at 8:15 in the College Auditorium. Selections of Christmas music will be presented by David Schaub, college organist, the Concert Chorale consisting of 42 selectvoices, the College Choir, and the 20-piece Chamber Orchestra. The traditional Christmas portion ofHandel's "Messiah" will be sung by a 106-voice choir, accompanied by the chamber orchestra.CHRISTMAS SING Students Invited Deck the halls! Christmas is approaching with all the silver snow-flakes swinging from Old Main's ceiling, the Christmas tree lights shining from the windows of MRHand Edens, and the budget minded students pinching their dollars for the "it's better to give thanreceive" part of the season. To add to the atmosphere, the band is having a Christmas sing at 3 p.m. onFriday, December 11, in the main lounge of the Viking Union. Larry Marsh will lead the singing, with theentire student body invited to participate. This is part of the effort to pull the studens into he life of theViking Union. GERMAN CLUB Foreign Language Major? "Ordnung, ordnung bitte," implored GerhardLanger, newly elected president of the German Club as it met for the second time this quarter. Just as frustrated was Gudrun Clem, newly elected secretary-treasurer, as she frantically tried to take notes inboth German and English. Inge Wills, vice-president, muttered something about organization. Thus, theGerman Club, which runs under the name of "Der Deutsche Stu-dentenverein," is now in full swing with27 members. Langer is enthusiastically expounding on the need to make the German Club aninteresting club where people can come together and practice speaking German and learn more aboutGerman culture. The program committee for the German Club has planned to invite severalspeakers throughout the year to enlighten the members of the club on Germany. He hopes to do this inconjunction with the International Relations Club. December 11,1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 11 - Page 7 ---------- Member Judy Runnels had started a petition for signatures from those students who were interested inobtaining a major in foreign languages at WWCE. Prom the different foreign language classes shereceived 77 signatures, naming German and French as the two leading choices. The petition wasturned over to Dr. Kuder for future evaluation. With a turnout of 27 members, many of them returning from last year, President Langer has hopes that the German Club will thrive and accomplish its purpose inbringing together people who are interested in the German language, the country and its culture.HONORS CONVOCATION Four Get Scholarships Faculty representatives from each department of thecollege gathered in academic costume this morning to participate in the Honors Convocationassembly. Dr. Jarrett awarded four $100 scholarships to the winners: David Sutherland, DonaldTrethewey, Anne Burreson, and Norma Rice. Presenting the address was Mr. Marshall Forrest,Bellingham attorney and Board of Trustee member. According to Dr. Paul Herbold, of the HonorsConvocation Committee, "This is the first such Honors Convocation, last year's having beencancelled because of the Silver Thaw. It is expected that this will become an annual occasion." AWSCOMMISSION An Oligarchic Rule? Western's government is monopolized by men. All of the toppositions on campus, including editors of the various publications, are men. Of the 16 persons on thelegislature, not one is a girl. Who, then, regulates the women's laws and standards? Who nominatesAWS officer candidates? Tolo king candidates? Who decides what regulations shall be enforced atwomen's houses and dorms? The answer to all these questions is AWS commission. This organizationconsists of the elected AWS officers and the chairmen of 12 standing committees, and although fewstudents are aware of the fact, the commission holds a good deal of power in its administrative hands. It has even been suggested that the commission constitutes an oligarchic rule, but if this is true, thequestion arises, "Why does the women's portion of the student body allow itself to be run by this small,select group?" 'We're Going It Alone' One member of the commission told the Collegian this week, "It'strue that we are going it alone when it comes to women's government, but this is not the way we wantit." / ~ \ It was then stated that women students have refrained from presenting the commission withtheir ideas. They have neglected to see that their opinions are represented, their suggestionsconsidered, their candidates nominated, by ignoring the existence of such a thing as a commission. The commission asked for better participation from the students; with this thought in mind, Karen Laulainen, preident, issued this statement; "Girls who want to complain, question or suggest are welcome to attend the commission meetings on the first and third Monday's of each month in the AWS Lounge at 4:00p.m. CHRISTMAS TOLO He Never Danced Amid low lights and swirling dancers last Friday nightGeorge Kuybus was crowned king of the AWS Christmas Tolo. This was the climax to a busy day forhim and the other candidates who King for an Evening were introduced in a morning assembly—Kuybus by Gail Cooper; Roger Myers by Carolyn Stretz; Dick Can-field, Marilyn Baker; Mac Madenwald, Sue Johnston; Dick Hayes, Judy Runnels; Gary Walden, Jane Palmer; Brian Berenger, Sylvia Aldrich; and Jack Halliday by Vicki Criscoula. Kay Johnston acted as Mistress of Ceremonies for theassembly. Chaperones for the dance included Mr. and Mrs. Fred De Bruler, Dr. and Mrs. Paul E.Herbold, Dr. and Mrs. Keith Murray, Mr. Don Swedmark, •*y • ; i i v . '••:_, ' • Dr. and Mrs. Angelo, Anastasio, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Goitzj and Mrs. Ellen Siegwarth. Carrying out the 'theme, "Inthe Mood," the decorations committee attempted to create-;a "moody atmosphere" in the blue andgreen. A huge champagne glass and bottle stood near the center of the floor, fronting pink balloons.Downstairs in the coffee shop hostesses served the dancers a foamy, green punch. A capacity crowdfilled not only the main dance floor, but a large part of the coffee shop as well. The high point of thedance came when Karen Laulainen, president of women students,. crowned this year's king-for-an-evening — George Kuybus, fairest in the female eye. Many know Kuybus, a handsome senior from Puy-allup, as the president of the recently-formed Bachelor's Club. Throughout the evening, he remained regal and aloof, never condescending to dance— since his broken leg is not yet mended. And so anotherTolo goes to record and to memory. OUR LOUNGE A Giant Wastebasket By Mike McVay Has anyone seen the giant ashtray in the new Student Union Building? It is called the Coffee Shop, but there are somany cigarette butts being thrown on the floor that the name should be changed to "Ashtray." Perhaps "The Wastebasket" would be a better name since there are also large numbers of paper cups, spoons,cups and dishes being left lying around. What I mean is, why be so specific as an ashtray, when, awastebasket is suggestive of something much broader. Not Worth a "C" It has also been brought to ourattention that there are artists in this school other than those found in the Art Building. You may havenoticed their handiwork on the tables and chairs in the lounge. According to art teacher, Miss Kelsey,"none of the drawings would be worth more than a "C" in her classes. So poor old "Barney" Goltz hasbeen up until 3 a. m. for the last week scrubbing the table tops with SOS pads and Energine. SaysBarney, "Most of the words aren't even spelled right." The point is that the condition of our lounge isbecoming worse and worse, and nobody seems to care. We would like to see the students take a littlepride in their building and do their best to maintain the high standards upon which it was built.

The group, composed of Judy Runnels, chairman; house presidents and mothers; and three commisison members who acted as discussionleaders, divided into discussion groups and then adjourned to view a panel discussion and participate ina question and answer session with Dean Powers. The main item brought up during the discussion wasthe proposed Senior Honor Code system which is being employed in some other colleges, and is, inessence, the awarding of a house key to senior girls who have shown themselves to be worthy of theextra privileges involved in non-restricted hours. Another discussion topic was the possibility ofhaving freshman weekday hours extended to 9:00 to allow time for studying in the library and also thepossibility of having residents on the streets near campus leave their porch lights on to help provide better lighting for college pedestrians afc night.

The skyscraping Vikings looked nothing like the Evergreen Conference'spreseason pick for the conference championship. The reason for Western's poor showing can besummed up in one word TOGETHERNESS. The Vikings just couldn't play as a unit, and they ran their offense in the first half against St. Martins in the same way the Three Stooges cavort about yourtelevision set. The net result of this half was 16 points, leaving a twenty-one point deficit, separatingWestern from any chance of victory. "Everyone is pointing the finger at us as the team to beat,commented Jack Hubbard. We still have a long way to go to prove the preseason forecasts correct."The team to beat in Hubbards estimation is Eastern. In Dave Koford, a 6-4 All Conference forward, theEasterners have one of the most dangerous scorers in the conference. So far this season Koford hasscored over 20 points in each game he has played in. Against Seattle Pacific he dumped in 27 asEastern barely nipped the Seattle five. This brings our little discussion back to the wordTOGETHERNESS. Can the Vikings achieve enough unity to dispose of a surprisingly strong SeattlePacific five? Western's encounter tonight against S.P.C. will produce a favorite for the west playoff berth in the N.A.I.A. district championship. Seattle Pacific has beaten St. Martins, C.P.S., P.L.C., and U.B.C.,leaving Western as the only team to beat to assume the favorite role for a tournament berth. Hubbard,figures that Seattle Pacific will be tough to beat because they are shooting at midseason efficiency. But a great deal of doubt exists in this writer's mind as to the. caliber of S.P.C. as a district representative. Ifthe Vikings can gain some form of TOGETHERNESS they will have no trouble with Seattle Pacific.Prediction: WESTERN BY 14 POINTS. * * * * * * * * * To give the reader greater insight on individualability of our basketball team this writer will attempt to analyze some of the players: (First impressions).Ron Crowe—Ron should be the team's top scorer although he is having a little difficulty rounding into topshape. An ankle injury earlier in the season has slowed him a bit. Crowe could also be the teams toprebounder. Jim Greer—Jitters came over Jim in the Viking's first two games but he managed to dump in19 points in the two games. Greer could be the top pivot man in the conference but he is having a greatdeal of difficulty movijbg in the pivot. A return to form of the big pivot man would do a great deal to enhance Coach Hubbard's chance for a championship squad.

Western fans who made the trip to Vancouver to watch the Viks in action lastFriday night, were thoroughly disappointed, as the highly touted Norsemen scored a scanty 16 points inthe first half, and trailed the Rangers at the intermission, 37-16. "Although St. Martins played a finegame," commented Hubbard, "we lost because of opening-game jitters. After we straightened out ourdefense, we outplayed them in the second half. If the game had been five minutes longer, we'd havepulled it out. EASY ED VADSET Spearheaded the Spurt Playing in the loser's bracket Saturdaynight, the Viks bounced back to topple UBC, 67-61. Senior Ron Crowe, who was slow and sloppy in theopener, rebounded to tally 22 points against the T-birds. "Easy Ed" Vadset spearheaded the second half spurt against St. Martins with his flashy ball handling and accurate jump shooting. Not only didVadset contribute 21 points, but he quarterbacked the club and excelled on defense. After seeing theclub under fire, Hubbard has been working on weak spots this week in preparation for the December 11,1959 home opener against Seattle Pacific tonight. The Falcons won the Tacoma Invitational Tournamentlast weekend, defeating College of Puget Sound and Pacific Lutheran, and have lost only to EasternWashington. Although they don't have any Andersons this year, SPC has a fast, aggressive teamthat has been shooting well. The top scorers are Dave Wortman, Jerry Clyde and captain Dick Mogg.Hubbard will probably go with Crowe and either Herm Washington or Bud Bloch at forward, Jim Greer atcenter, and Vadset and Derm Cunningham at guard. Washington and Bloch were both impressive lastweek, and if both continue to improve, one could oust big Jim Greer from the post. Greer, like Crowe,is playing under the added pressure of great expectations, and it is said that he was all nerves last week (he scored seven and 12). At any rate there is a lot of competition for certain spots, and as Hubbard putit, "I like that kind of problem."

We went in a different format, with a different design, with a differentpurpose. We sent several people out to hear a poet recite beat poetry in Bellingham, for this issue. A girlcame back with a blank verse impression of what she saw. You'll find it on the next page. You'll findsome different things in this Collegian—ranging from Dr. Jarrett's view of college, to fiction, humor (manykinds) and sarcasm. Our one criterion for all writers, artists and planners was that they use onething—an idea, different as it might be. This is a departure—we meant it to be. We hope we havepresented a variety of ideas of life, of humor, of art in some way. For our campus it is only a beginning— we meant that, too. For your pleasure or displeasure, then, we present this special issue through theefforts of Dr. Ray Schwalm, Ellis Robinson and the LA. Department (printing); Bob Stevenson (layout,writing, art); Keith Alien (layout, waiting); Judy Borman (writing); Stacy Tucker (the cover); Earl Slator(page 2 calligraphy); and all the contributing writers.

Then the words tumbled forth with a rich, warming swing; Singing of sadness, of cheating, ofhurt; Singing of meaness, of blindness, of hate; Yet singing of beauty, of kindness, of love.

By JUDY BORMAN A comfortable man in a comfortable setting; this wasthe first impression imparted by Dr. James L. Jarrett as he opened the doors of his office to a Collegianreporter last week. Dressed in a brown checked sports coat and a green tie he seemed to fit right in withthe scheme of his office, done in pale green walls, darker green rug, brown furniture and brown leatherchairs. But there is more to this man than his easy, friendly appearance might seem to indicate for hesounds like a truly progressive person with almost revolutionary ideas. He is looking for an educationalideal and if he can realize his many hopes, it looks as though he may come close to obtaining it. Thepresident admits to being near-fanatical on the issue of what might be termed "studentism." It is hisopinion that students should "see college as a full-time occupation, not a forty hour week." He feels thatthe campus day should begin with classes at 8 or 9 in the morning and continue on through late eveningwith the inclusion of classes, library study, school activities, bull sessions in the coffee shop, independent reading and attendance at college functions. "Students' lives should be centered on the campus," heclaimed. As for the role of the Viking Union, he expressed the hope that students will help achieve ahigher cultural and intellectual level for the school through proper use of this building, the very core ofcollege existence." He would like to see the presentation of papers and talks on any and all subjectsgiven in the Union--"anything is of interest to the live mind. "It is his opinion that students should "knockthemselves out in the attempt to build a hive of college-type activities here." Almost more than anythingelse he would like to see the academic standards raised to a higher level. He hopes that an intelligencescreening system can be devised to cut down the admission of students whose chances for collegesuccess are low. Under his administration all departments of the school are undergoing a thoroughscrutiny in an attempt to determine where revision is needed. With the opening of the new ScienceBuilding, additional courses in this department are to be added. The present facilities, according to Jarrett, are "just miserable . . . would disgrace a country school." As an increasing concern for educationbecomes evident the world over, Jarrett hopes Western can keep pace by effecting an enriched program.Besides added classes in the science department, he would like to see the offering of courses in theclassics, upper division courses in foreign literature and a full-scale curriculum in psychology. In answerto the many questions asked about the proposed Honors System, Jarrett stated that the matter is beinglooked into by a faculty committee but that no definite plans have yet been made. If the system is putinto effect it will mean that a small percentage of the most able students will be given the opportunity toenroll in classes especially de- ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 17 - Page 6 ---------- signed for them. The classes, he said, would be mainly taught by the discussion method and wouldstress individual instruction and independent study. With this offering for the exceptionally able, Jarretthopes to attract students to the college. He also expressed a desire to see a scholarship programestablished whereby the academically superior student could recieve financial assistance greatlyexceeding that which is now available. Turning away from this subject for a moment, the president stated that students should be doing considerable independent study. "The student who can't find time topursue outside interests and to read, isn't managing his time very well. Most students sleep too much." ''The fact that I have emphasized change has been continually stressed." A slight frown was visible. "But Iwould like to say that there are many excellent features of this college that I hope to retain." He went onto express specific approval of the drama department and the Collegian. Then he added, "the attitudetoward atheletics is a sane one and the spirit at social functions is good.''' On this note the interviewcame to an end as Dr. James Jarrett rose from his leather chair, glanced briefly out the window at thecampus for which his plans are being made, and went on to other business. DOH*T YOU F£€L YOUSHOULDN'T eC VMTCHIN6? ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 17 - Page 7 ---------- J $;*» is wonderful by Bob Stevenson It's Christmas eve in the year nineteen-twenty and darkness iscreeping across the trees on the street as a man hurries home, being careful to avoid the icy areas. Hiscollar is turned up against the cold and snow crunches under his feet, but inside is a feeling as he thinksabout his wife and family at home. Home, where a fire will be blazing and a tree is growing out of thecolorful packages near the large leather chair. The large leather chair, the warm aroma of dinner when the door bursts open and his daughter rushes into his arms. The close friends and the small party, he thinks, and after that -- after that the story he would read to the children from the large, worn brown volume inthe library. The bus doors opened with a swish and a bang as the cold wind cut through his new topcoat.With a slight jump he alighted on the snow and turned up the dark street toward home. In the eastern skya light was moving westward and flashed on and off intermittently like a beacon swung on a long string.Another sattelite, he thought, and looked down the street at the sodium vapor light which cast a blue hueon the snow in front of his house. It was Christmas eve, nineteen fifty-nine, and the yearly office partywas behind. He opened the door and glanced at the children on the floor in front of the TV as he walked to the kitchen. Only upon nearing the stove could he catch the smell of dinner before the whirling fanwhisked it away. His wife turned to him and said, "Home so early? I'm trying a new brand of frozen dinnerwhich will cook in eighteen minutes, so we can see that early show on television." "Isn't sciencewonderful?'' In the same year, a month earlier, a white-robed scientist looked up from his test tube andmade a profound statement, clinching it with, "It has been scientifically proven." No one would questionhim because, after all, he is a scientist and it was scientifically proven. Twentieth century man willquestion everyone and anything, but a scientist, whom he places on a pedestal and worships. And whilewestern man is worshipping everyone from a lab technician to a test-tube washer, this so-called scientistis pushing esthetics out into the cold icy winds of December and gripping a strangle-hold on graciousliving. ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 17 - Page 8 ---------- By GORDON MILLS Once again the fat man with the goodies makes the scene at Western. For monthsthe campus has been anxiously awaiting his annual visit. Let's see what the jolly one has in the bagthis year. A stereo for the Union Board and friends; a piece of rope for Stevenson; a "Music MadeSimple" course for the Night People; more and longer coffee breaks for the administrative secretaries; aUnion Dedication invitation for Khruschev; a vaccum cleaner to speed things up for the Edenshousemother; Blue Blazers for the Union Board; spectators to watch the "green tanks" in action; apiece of pi for the math department; a relief fund for History professors. A personal bodyguard forCollegian sports columnists; some competition this year for Highland Hall in the Loud-house race; a resthome for ASB advisers; full Collegian coverage for neglected student leaders; some cents for theeconomics department; pre-season vacation trips for the baseball team; meatier chickens for Soggy Food Service; sympathy for the A L performers who didn't draw a crowd; ptomaine for persons who writeletters to the editor; more room for the Lounge Rats; parking meters for Sehome hill. Some sea shells forthe Blue Barnacles to play with; a parking -lot lovers; someone to move the campus closer to Doric Hall;a job for Charles Van Doren with the English department; a motor scooter for the campus Marshall;something of beauty for Dr. Jarrett. A solid gold engraved door for the Legislature Room; somescholarships for social rompers; elevator shoes for Dean Mac; a surplus of $$$ for the ASB; a happyvacation for my favorite Collegian reporter; some wedding belles for the Bachelor's club; good pep bandmusic for the cheer leaders to dance to; throat tonic for Christmas serenaders; something arid fordramatics; more vacation trips for the Union Board; yellow and white note pads for the Legislature to playwith; a dictionary of sarcasm for the Collegian. And a Merry Christmas to all the students and staff atWestern Washington college. Plus hope for finals; we hope to see you next quarter. ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 17 - Page 9 ---------- By THE EDITOR I'm just a student, just a student, he thought. That's all I have to be; that's all I will be. ''Hark, the Herald Angels sing, glory to the new-born king . . . " Glory to the new born . . . it's stupid,stupid, stupid. Why all the trouble, why don't they let things alone, why in the hell does everything haveto be mixed up? "Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners . . . " The carolers were coming upthe street now, moving onto the campus, approaching closer. He wanted to shout out, to tell them allwhere to go, what to do, what to do, to do. Last night in the little coffee house down the street (coffeehouse they called it now) he had heard the poet, and he had seen the girls sit fascinated ("why doessomebody give up a normal life to read poetry? Isn't it wonderful?"). He had picked up the magazine andread where a teacher in New York had quit his job because the principal demanded lesson plans and theteacher had labeled them stupid. ("When I am in the classroom, I am the authority.") "Silent night, holynight, all is calm . . . " Two days ago he had sat in on a student-faculty meeting where a professor hadsaid, ' 'of course I don't believe in God; I send my children to church because I know it will be the safestthing for them." Talk, talk. That was the emphasis now. Attend this, attend that. Think, boy, think. Whatwas that some other professor had said--"We're living in a world of academic schizophrenia"? My God,what is the world coming to? " . . . all is bright, round yon virgin . . . " The carolers were on the pavement now, approaching the building next to which he was standing. Sing, you fools, sing. Pull up your littlecollars, smile pretty, stare off into space and sing. Is that all you can do? Of course God will protect you. Of course; he protects us all--isn't that what we're about to celebrate? Or is it? Who has ever seen God--and why must God fit what we seem to want him to fit? Are you sure there is a God? I'm not." My God,he was beginning to listen to that gibberish; it was beginning to repeat itself in his mind. But it wouldn't be long now--not long. There would be only two more quarters to go and he would have the degree, and nomatter what they said about God, schizophrenia and ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 17 - Page 10 ---------- beat poets, it wouldn't matter. He would have the degree. " . . . mother and child, holy infant so tender and . . ." Mild. Mild. Why don't they sing it a little faster? Just step up the beat. Pick up the pace. It's therhythm that counts. Rhythm. My God, "there's rhythm in that painting;" that's what he had actually heard, on this campus, in the coffee shop, where one hundred idiots actually turned out to hear what apsychiatrist, an art professor and a minister had to say about twelve garish blobs of color plastered up onthe walls. Garish. No, he was beginning to pick up the words, too. What is this world coming to? It wasn't this way before. "God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay. Only six months ago he hadwalked this same campus, before the art works were displayed, before the meetings were being held,before he saw the professors running frantically around, now claiming to be "intellectuals--there's value inthinking." So many had changed color so fast; it was remarkable. It used to be pretty peaceful. If youattended class, if you did the lesson plans, if you passed the tests, there were no questions. You couldgo on your way, live your own life, attend your own parties, move in your own circles, and it didn't matter.When you got that degree, you would be safe.

Honest. My God, Does it matter?Money is what counts and everybody knows it. Then here's this new fellow, with the red hair, comingalong, saying "college is not a social romp," and "I want students to think." Well, we'll see. And anyway,it won't matter soon. As soon as I have that degree, these ideas, these people, they won't mean a thing. I don't plan to think. I don't care. It doesn't matter. "Son of God loves pure light . . .

He shrugged his shoulders, turned and walked into the brightly lit building,passing the Christmas tree to his right, covered with blue lights reflecting on the student art display on the wall, and headed for the coffee shop. It was 8 p.m. and in the room next door a seminar was being held.A professor was telling students that people should think about beliefs, about their whole world.

People call me a "Beatnik," they point at me and laugh and if they don't laugh, they usually vomit. What's wrong with me? That's what I keepasking myself. Am I merely emotionally insecure? Are my clothes ill-fitting? Do I have B.O.? The answeris no! I wear a beard (it's really quite becoming). Is this a reason for social ostracism? HARRYINDIVIDUALIST A. Young man, don't be a social flop all your life. Put your facial accoutrements to use.Win friends and influence enemies. Be socially sought after. Be the "life" of the party. I know this articlewill change your entire outlook on ' 'life.'' Make people envy you by using your handicap as a handicup.Yes, be the only man in the crowd with a headless beer. Remove it with your beard. Soon, people willbe clamoring for your services and the world will beat a path to your door. After a hard night's work youcan wring your beard out and have yourself a nightcap. Q. I have heard that college girls have loosemorals. Do they? FRED A. Whatever you heard is by all means false. I myself have attended college,and I can attest to the fact that the girls I knew did not have loose morals because most of them weremarried by the end of their freshman year. Q. I frequently panic when I see beards. Why? UNSETTLEDA. Perhaps it was the fact that your father had a beard. Did you hate your father? Perhaps it was the factthat your father didn't have a beard.

The presents are opened and thanked for, and the family sits down to a good and filling meal. Somego to church, and pray. Everyone says how good Saiita has been to him, and the ties and pen and pencil sets are collected or discarded.

By BOB STEVENSON, Collegian Artist, Columnist A ribbon of concrete andblacktop of some sixty miles connects two comparable cities, of population and of relative inactivity. I travel this ribbon of body-jarring, tire-wearing concrete called a highway twice a vjeek or more. Iattend college at the home of the Collegian and work weekends at the home of the pulp mills. Yes, Icook pizza at Pizza Villa. While shuttling back and forth, missing out on all of my social life and keeping the service stations in business, I regularly ramble by many objects. One of these masses of matter isa small inconspicuous box which is, more often than not, operated from a blue car with a white streakacross the doors. I've been checked by radar so often I, well, zapp I'm . . . (sterile?) There is a wellknown seed implanted on. the minds of most college students,, which is, college provides astudent with a liberal education. Another idea, although disputable by some, is that Western iscoeducational. In other words we have co-eds running hither and yon about our campus. Keep these two thoughts in mind, coeducation and a liberal education, while I tell you about the "Bobby Pin Incident." I found a bobby pin. Now this isn't a great or earth-shaking statement, for you can find bobby pinsanywhere, because women scatter them like chaff in the wind. However, this was a special onebecause it is made of clear plastic, and because of the surroundings in which it was found. / foundthis bobby pin in the Union Building . . . in the men's rest room. Anyone want to claim it? A PolicyNote: The Collegian often invites majors in the various departments to write reviews of programs,shows and plays within, and sponsored by, the departments. When an art major, for instance,criticizes an art show (as this week), the student's name is not printed, to protect him from recriminationand to allow his criticism to be freely honest. 'Were Living in an Age of Academic Schizophrenia . . /The moulded pieces of tin from Detroit need only a soft touch on the floor pedal—then they move, swiftly, streaking over the asphalt ribbons connecting the nation. At night, the national arteries look like pulsingelectronic recordings of life-essence. If America contains one main essence, it is movement. If there isone thing stamped on that essence, it is light. Moving light. Monday night, while the machinery of theWWC Union building hummed to make lights glow, air circulate and food heat, a professor from thePsychology Department spoke to dedicate the main floor of the student edifice. In essence he said:"There is a tendency in our time to keep from looking beyond our field of knowledge. I call it academicimperialism. There is a schrizo-i phrenia in this academic imperialism that makes professors deny thatany real knowledge lies outside their own fields." The words are not exact, but Maurice Freehill wascriticizing education, which he said is becoming imperialistic. The professor who is an academicimperialist is tyrannical and capricious. He maintains his in-group status through an academic purity thatcomes from wearing a non-conformity badge. The action is nothing but another conformity. He repressesall orthodoxies but his own, and he thinks that his owti art is so perfect as an art that there is no placefarther for it to go. It is a god, a protection; and a necessary part of his own schizophrenia. It was prettyastounding to hear a professor speaking about his colleagues in such a manner on the Western campus.It was appalling, however, to see that only 25 students, or less, heard him. It was appalling because themajority of 2,500 of these students sit daily in places all over the campus and bitch about the same points Dr. Freehill was making. They're sure professors are bad, students speak low—in tight little places,where they can bitch and not be heard. And what were the 2,475 doing while Dr. Freehill was making their own point? Downstairs in the coffee shop at least 50 of the typical "individual" students sipped coffee insmall tight groups. Outside on the streets they moved in cars. And over the whole scene was light,holding together these two areas of warmth and security. "Schizophrenia," Dr. Freehill said, "bringsthe individual into a tight little place where he's secure. We're living in an age of academicschizophrenia, never touching outside our safe world." He might have spoken of the student world as well. But then it wouldn't have mattered. As long as the cars move and the lights glow, the machine will keepAmerica secure with warmth and closeness. One wonders what will happen when the generators fail. Will professors and students be forced to sit back together, to pray to God to turn the power on, while they freeze—because their conception of God, too, is that of a machine to keep them warm in tight littleplaces?

Coordinators of Lethargy Dear Editor: It is the opinion of this student and many others atlarge that it is necessary to completely revamp the present student government program. It will sufficeto say that many students are of the opinion that they would back any candidate for any office who would sublimate himself by running on a "return student government to the faculty" campaign. It is the opinion of this writer that the majority of student government personnel at this time are immature andirresponsible. Furthermore, they lack the analytic qualities that are presupposed in an elected officeholder. If one considers the "irrational" idea that these people are the leaders of the student body and, as is hoped, the leaders of tomorrow's America, then WHAT THE HELL IS GOING TO HAPPEN to US? Itis a gross understatement to sat our present legislative body is inexperienced. It is more apt todescribe them as undesirous of more than a seat at the conference table. These people should not becalled legislators. It would be more nearly correct to call them coordinators of student lethargy. I willclose by proposing a toast to our leaders: "May you grow in ingenuity, intellect, and analytic power,as well as prestige." Regretfully, BOB POLDEVART REVIEW PROCRASTINATION 'Drat it All . . .' BySTACY TUCKER Vincent Sheean, the world-famous author - correspendent, appeared at Western lastTuesday. Drat it all, reader, I am becoming-tired of thinking up novel introductions and working tocreate interesting bits of composition for youi What shall I do about it? Hum? I suppose I could tell youto trot off to the performances yourself and then ask for my opinions when you desire them. Yet, inthat case, this tired old reviewer would have nothing to do. Here I am right back where I started. Oh, all right! I will continue writing . . . for a while, at least. Even if I am greeted with threats and insults inconnection with my "trits, till founder, vulgar" articles. Alas, to think that there December 4, 1959 is even an audience for that sort of thing. Oh yes, I was going to tell you about Vincent Sheean. Hislecture was quite interesting on the whole. I shall share with you some of the interesting highlights ofhis talk in the hope that you may be able to sit and mull them over in your mind. In other words, I willgive you some debatable or at least discussable details. Contrary to popular opinion, Vincent Sheeanfeels that another world war is not probable. He even doutts its possibility. Did he go from there to tell us how people are learning to act more brotherly or that tension has decreased? He did not. Rather, hegave us vivid pictures of all the elements of war that were evident today. Of course China and India areexisting in an increasingly tense relationship. . . . Of course poverty and overpopulation areincreasing. How, then, if the world is in the sad conditions that he describes, is war not probable? "I donot feel it in the air," he stated. "We correspondents can sense it through a sensitivity we havedeveloped." He went as far as to state that people like Gunther and himself might be hired by WallStreet to predict the trends. Sheean stated that there is no real unity among the Asian peoples. True, India has her Sanskrit alphabet and religious influences to bind her people together, but the othershave nothing. Consider, however, the Buddhist faith's binding influence and the general trend of all of the thought of the East concerning life. Sheean admits that these countries will, vote, together in theU. N., but states that that is about the extent of their cooperation. What do you thing? Well, there you have two topics for discussion. I hope you at least think about them. One more highlight . . . During the question and answer period a woman rose to her feet and stated in a loud voice: "Mr. Sheean, what inthe . . . Oh, reader, do forgive me . . . my airplane leaves in ten minutes. Mercy, I have to run . . . ARTDISPLAY 'Changing Horizons . . .' (See Editor's note on Page 2) "Do as I say, not as I do" is generally true in some cases, but in reference to a select group of faculty members in the art department, thesaid cliche must be their excuse. This opinion is based solely upon the faculty exhibition in the artbuilding gallery. Having had most of these exhibitors as instructors . . . and also as fellow students . .. I was under the impression they had a great deal of pure, WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIANrich talent, or some facsimile thereof. To mention a few masterpieces, the picture entitled "Lines" wasalmost appalling, whereas "Beach Grass" conveyed a more pleasant message. The landscapes . . .one in particular, more or less personifys some of Charles Addams' better humcr more than a cluster oflofty pines adjoining the most rugged of cliffs. They no doubt have done much better work than these onexhibition, but these examples don't allow for much hope. The jewelry, ceramics and sculpture were farmore impressive, however. The single weaving display, in the form of a rug, was very attractive. But justsomething more to bury your toes into. There were a few good displays, which may include the oilpainting "Changing Horizons," the ceramic racoons, and some excellent results in glazing. WesternWashington COLLEGIAN Since 1899 Entered as second class matter at the post office at Bellingham,by virtue of the act of March 8. 1879 Second Class Postage Paid at Bellingham. Washington Printed by Cox Ebright, Inc. Bellingham, Washington Acting Editor—Ken Robertson AssociateEditors—Howard De Witt, Doug Simpson Art Editor—Bob Stevenson Assistant Editors—Keith Allen, Judy Borman Page 3 ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 4 - Page 4 ---------- PRESS CONFERENCE 'College is to Modify' By Keith Allen It was three o'clock Monday. .Six peoplemarched into room 11a in the VU and sat down with Dr. James Jarrett. "Okay, shoot," said thepresident. There was a silent pause, and Mike McVay began with a series of questions pertaining toathletics (see Jarrett on Athletics, Page 11). This was a short press conference; the loaded questionsranged from the personal to the technical, and were met quickly with direct answers. Dr. Jarrettanswered questions about himself, saying that he played baskeball at Hamilton High School in LosAngeles but "not very well," and had an un-succeslul try at freshman basketball in college. "Of course Igo to parties," he said answering a more idiotic question, "constantly. . . Were you thinking of starting one?" Everybody laughed. The questioner murmured that he was referring to something like Springquarter keg parties. Dr. Jarrett, apparently unaware of Spring activities at Western, sipped his coffeeand listened to the next question. Concerned with Competence "I have consistently said thatacademic standards are more what one is required to do in the class, not necessarily to gradederived," Western's president answered. Changes in the class—not particularly in the requirements— may be made as early as next fall, he went on. " I am more concerned with the demonstrated level of competence (by a student) than with the record of past achievements," the president said of studenteligibility for scholarships. Jarrett was offered more coffee. "Just a spot, thanks. " He was then askedabout the play "Wild Duck." "My only problem in commenting upon this is to be brief." He was toldsome had criticized the play as not being entertaining. "It seems to me," he began, "the function of acollege is to modify society rather than entertain it. Broadway farces are not needed on the campusunless perhaps of considerably Page 4 BOB POLDEVART C:airman of VU De iication high caliber."We needn't review Mickey Spillane and drop Shakespeare just because people read Spillane and he'smore popular." He went on: "Our biggest job is to educate the audience, not the actor. This is why wedon't present the popular type of production." As for the play, "I was delighted with its production."CIVIC SYMPHONY Borrowed from 'Kismet?' BY STACY TUCKER Well, the Civic Symphony concert iscoming up and we have decided that it might be a good idea to comment on the selections beforehand inthe hope —that you might enjoy the concert more. So many people have been saying that they would have enjoyed The Wild Duck more had they read the play and discussed it beforehand. This ideaapplies to music also. You could listen to the recordings of some of these selections, derive your ownimpressions and then listen to the performance this coming Tuesday of the Bellingham Civic Symphony. The first selection is the overture to Mozart's Don Giovanni. S o u l i ma Stravinsky, who was on our Aand L series earlier this quarter, calls this opera the masterpiece of operatic effort. (He can't be quoted directly ,but this is the essence of his remarks). Most people would not be as direct in stating thisabout the opera, but none can deny its magnificance. The overture is a familiar one in the classicalWESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN realm and appeals to a number of tastes in that it is moving and complex, yet contains beautiful themes that everyone would enjoy. The Polovitzian Dances from"Prince Igor" are familiar to most persons whether they know it or not in that the musical "Kismet" isbuilt around these melodies. "Stranger in Paradise" is an example of one of these songs. V. you enjoy them in their popular setting, wait till you hear them as they were written in the first place. We recallone tale of someone who remarked after hearing these dances, "Oh, Borodin has borrowed melodiesfrom "Kismet"—isn't there a law against that sort of thing?" The carnival of animals is a charming little thing and will become quite amusing at this performance in that Ogden Nash's verses whish werewritten to go with each selection will be read. They are really amusing in a subtle, and something notsubtle way. Protably everyone remembers hearing "The Swan" from that suite. By the way, among theanimals in the suite such as the Wild Jackasses and the Personages with long Ears (you can sayanything politely if you try) is included a selection entitled "Pianists." What are they doing at the zoo?Composing . . . playing requests? The significant thing about Tschai-kowsky's "Concert in D Major,Opus 35" in this particular performance is that the assisting artist, Rodney Mer-cado, makes hisappearance in this selection. He is a member of Western's faculty now, and has appeared as guestsoloist on the three principle networks and performed with several notable symphonies before joining ourmusic department. Blanche Thebom, famous Metropolitan Opera mezzo-soprano, will appear herethis evening at 8:15 in a concert that marks the conclusion of Pall quarter's Artist and Lecture series.December 4, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 4 - Page 5 ---------- Student Life Is Being Changed . "I want students to come here and talk and listen and think," HaroldGoltz said. He flipped eight switches activating the communications system throughout four floors, "Iwant to create an atmosphere here," Fred Basetti said, standing in the open air next to a leaf-laden maple rubbing shoulders with the rising wall of brick and wood taking form in the light of a spring day half a year ago. THE STUDENT In the muted colors, tinawareness to announce that in eight minutes another areaof the completed building would be dedicated. As the footsteps neared the slender columns set airilyinto the hexagonal patchwork fronting the building, a gust of late fall wind swept up High Street. The tallglass door was pushed open, letting in the night; the student blinked his eyes and in a moment he hadentered onto the main floor of the building that would change the campus life of Western WashingtonCollege. Bellingham Bay on a glass canvas Skirting the information desk to his right, where only fourhours ago Student Activities Director Barney Goltz had been counseling, scheduling and phoning, hepaused a moment to view the student art clipped to swift-rising shafts of a stairway curtain, Then,pushing open another glass door he entered onto the main floor, his footsteps echoing across the tile,and suddenly spread before him on a glass canvas was a vibrating night-picture of Bellingham Bay. Inthe atmosphere that Fred Basetti had poised on a brow of Sehome Hill, was the now-quiet vortex of thedaily life of 2,500 college students. "The student should be able to find a relationship between what heknows and what he is—that should be the purpose of this building." Twenty-four hours ago he had heardDr. Maurice Freehill dedicate this main floor with the idea that was now actuating this nerve-center of thebuilding which President James Jarrett had termed "exciting in its possibilities." An Intellectual Surgery . . . While at least 80% of the 2,500, dimly sipped coffee among the lulling waves of cigarette smoke and so It piped music one floor below, here in the heart of the new building the depth and dimensions ofstudent activities were undergoing an intellectual surgery for the most critical reshaping of studentactivities in ten years of Western student life. He did not know this. Nor did he know that behind theinformation desk, in the office of the Director of Student Activities from 8 to 4 and beyond, daily, sits theman who believes the Viking Union should be more than a glorified Teahouse of the August Moon. Behind the door beyond the information desk sits Harold Goltz, co-ordinating a new plan for student life. Itincludes meeting schedules, appointments for faculty members to tell students their philosophies of life,arrangements for nationally known lecturers and artists to talk personally wih students, clearing forclub meetings, study groups, music recitals, dances and even art displays. The student shifted his feetand lit a cigarette. He could see that the floor includes a lounge usable for studying, large meetings,dances and displays; a large entrance and display area and a softly-lighted reception entrance. Hewas aware that one floor up, weekly, the Union Board, manned by a dynamic individual as chairman andfifteen like members, meets to make the rules, regulations and policies of the building for students. Herein heated discussion, laughter and quick action, the shape of student life is forming around a building.With Fred Basetti's atmosphere, Harold Goltz's ideas and the Union Board's actions, student life is beingchanged, even if the student was not yet aware of it. An Encompassing Quietness . . . On the main floor of the new building, in a corner area, he walked into a mutely-carpeted, softly-lighted, almost quietlyflowing room known as the Music Room. All of the equipment was not yet present, including astereophonic record player, but when he entered the room he felt, in the muted yellows, dark browns andgrays an encompassing December 4, 1959 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 5 ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 4 - Page 6 ---------- ON THE MAIN FLOOR 'a vibrating night-picture . . .' quietness, and something different. The studentstood silhouetted against the window, looking at the city below. Then he moved on, to join his friends in the coffee shop. For a moment he had sensed something. Sunday, Dr. James Jarrett will speak in theformal dedication of the Viking Union, to which individuals from throughout the nation have been invited. The people, plans and facilities behind the ideas housed in the center in which he will speak, arepresented in this special section of the Collegian for those who would care to know. GOVERNMENT'SDOMAIN More Transaction Per Square Foot By GORDON MILLS Alive and buzzing with activity, thestudent government floor of the Viking Union tends to escape the student eye. Yet hardly a day goes bywithout a beehive of action in these quarters. Two large meeting rooms provide the opportunity for various organizations to transact the business that affects many phases of student life. A far cry from thecramped quarters occupied by last year's Legislature, the meeting room of the group is now spaciousenough for the small crowd of observers that generally frequent the meetings. A large balcony,overlooking the site of the future Cooperative Bookstore, connects these meeting rooms. The largeroom at the west end of the hall, large enough to hold the larger meetings in, enjoys one of the finestviews of the city this side of Sehome hill. The offices of the ASB officers occupy the east end of the floor. A reception area is found at the top of the stairs, and the comfortable offices of ASB President BobGustav-son overlooking High Street, afford a place for the officers to do the busy work demanded of them. Sufficient space for storage and working room for ASB projects is also to be fund in this area. Keepingthe finances of the student body in order, the Finance office, under Mrs. Hite and Chairman Jerry Baker,occupies joint rooms on the north of the hall. Department chairman of ASB organizations have learned torealize the importance of this office. The words "orderly confusion" seem to typify the Union Board officeat the present time. Involved in the dedication ceremonies of the VU, the Union Board looks to thefuture of the VU as an important task. Under Jack Rabourn as chairman, the Board will plan eventswanted and needed by the student body, and work toward making the building useful to the students. Incomparison to other areas of the new Viking Union, this small office probably has the highest rate ofbusiness transaction per square foot of office space. To the average student, the student governmentarea of the building is unnoticed and unnecessary. But to the student politician, it is the center of activityin the Viking Union. COFFEE AND CIGARETTES Personalities in an Ashtray . . . By KAREN BAINTER After walking down the stairs to the well-populated intermediate (Coffee Shop) floor of the SUB, youmay be struck by the variety in the design of the different rooms and differences in use. Taking up mostof the space on the floor is the Coffee Shop, painted in grays with red orange accents. Sitting in theCoffee Shop is like sitting in a bus depot because you see a cross section of personalities and moods.From table to table the people and the topics of discussion differ. Traces of personalities sometimesremain behind in an ashtray or as some dishes left on a table, but the cycle of people coming andgoing is always active. If you look around the Coffee Shop you may notice the colorful food price lists, orthe one clock that's always 5 hours fast, or the silver chrome of the water machine, or maybe you'dnotice the way the room divider abstracts the people on the other side. If by chance you happen toglance back into the kitchen, you can see the busy behind-the-scenes activity of dishwashing andcooking. You might see red-print-aproned, Lola Taylor, who's in charge of the counter, fixing salads.Except for the pies, which are supplied by the Best Pie Company, the food is prepared in the kitchen bythe cook, Mrs. Gaffney, or by Helen Quimbey, who cooks the short JOHN SCHERMERHORN•publicity chairman for Union Board Page 6 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN December 4,1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 4 - Page 7 ---------- JACK RABOURN, MARILYN BAKER Union chairman and secretary talk . . . ---------- Collegian - 1959 December 4 - Page 8 ---------- orders and breakfasts. Mrs. Louise Mann is in charge of the coffee shop and is assisted by NormaBrowning, the night cook. The students whom you see working behind the counter and clearing off tables like their work, the people they work with, and meeting the different customers. The main purpose of theCoffee Shop is to serve the campus and have a reasonable amount returned to cover maintenance andupkeep. Weekdays it is open from 7:30 A.M. to 10:30 P.M. Evenings, at 7:30, the grill is shut off andpaper service is used to reduce overhead. On the north wall of the coffee shop is a door leading into aroom which many students have never seen. This room, the Coffee Shop Lounge, is a modernistic one,quiet until it absorbs the personalities of the groups who enter it. Used for teas, press conferences, coffee hours, lectures, and etc., the room is scheduled through the main floor desk for groups or clubs whowant the privacy that the Coffee Shop lacks. Outside the Coffee Shop is a hallway emblazoned with coat hangers and sporting a pay phone. Down the hall are the Card Room, the Barber Shop, and the' SmokeShop. A plain room which sports card players as the chief decorative furnishings, the Card Room holds in itself a mood all its own. During some hours of the day it assumes a mob like clutter relieved at othertimes by abandoned solitude. Pinochle is the champion recreation of the room with hearts and bridge asthe other contenders. The room also sports a TV set which sees action in the after school hours whenthe good programs are on. Food can be eaten in the card room if it is brought in on paper service. Across the hall in the Barber Shop, surrounded by bottles of green, intruiging hair stuffs, mirrors, andimplements of their trade, dwell Bob Unruh, and Ernie Marshall, the VU barbers. Besides enlisting thelatest conveniences including a stimulator, and a little vacuum cleaner which is used to dispose of hairsthat fall down your neck, new magazines by the waiting chairs, music from a wall speaker, and the bestnatural, unobvious between-classes view of the girls traversing to and from the Coffee Shop, are featureshere, too. Outside the Barber Shop the booth-like Smoke Shop is a riot of different colors and shapes.For such a little place the smoke shop carries a multitude of things. Gum, candy, cigarettes, coughdrops, pipes, bobby pins, razor blades, and lighters are some of the objects on sale—or as the girlbehind the counter stated "We sell almost everything except stamps." PUBLICATIONS RECREATION The Gullible Public and a Magazine By JUDY BORMAN Any art teacher will tell you that the yellow andorange color scheme of the VU's first floor is an advancing one, suggesting life and activity. One mightthink that the designer anticipated the atmosphere destined to pervade in this, the publications andrecreation area, for indeed there is nothing dead here. Peeking in the back door . . . As Western israpidly undergoing some major changes, ideas and policies are becoming increasingly more important. Besides informing the student body of what is going on, the Collegian is attempting to let them peek inthe back door and see just how these events and changes have evolved. Collegian readers can expectarticles that express the atmosphere, the thoughts and motivations that go into each campus event, notjust the bare, obvious facts. The Critical Student . . . The person behind all this is Ken Robertson,Collegian editor. Robertson's two main objectives appear to be change and the growth of individualitythrough the student's DARYL ZENTNER to relieve the congestion . . . analysis of what is going onaround him. He wants, he says, to see students rise above the level of a gullible public and wake up tothe world around them. Through the present Collegian format he hopes to make the student more awareof and more critical of himself and his surroundings. His policy • is to challenge his reader'sintelligence, not insult it. Under Robertson's direction, the Collegian is sometimes leading, and usually keeping pace with the changing face cf Western's campus. Also working with new ideas is DennisWakkuri, editor of the Klipsun. He has developed a new layout concept and effected some major changes which include an extensive use of color throughout the book, an expanded class section, and theomission of living group pictures so that more space can be devoted to activities. Problems Haven'tStopped Him Problems have not stopped him from carrying out his ideas. When faced with an urgentneed for photographers, Wakkuri decided to sponsor a photography contest in the hopes of stimulating amore active interest in better quality photos. The pictures submitted are to be displayed in the VU artgallery and the photographers of the best three pictures among those used for publication will be awarded cash prizes. "I want this book to be an informal pictorial representation of the campus throughout theyear"; these were the words with which Dennis Wakkuri, 1959 Klipsun. editor, summed up his objectives. The Bare Walls Echo As yet unpainted and unequipped the bare walls of the recreation area none-the-less-echo with promises. Lack of appropriate funds have not stopped the organization wheels fromturning, as plans for a well-set-up rec area have evolved, through Daryl Zentner, chairman of the area.Pool and ping-pong tables and space for dancing will be featured along with canteens which are beinginstalled in order to relieve the coffee shop congestion problem. The rec area will be open even when thecoffee shop is closed but, as Jack Rabourn, Union Board chairman, puts it: "We aren't going to let thisbecome a haven for flunk outs."

Hubbard himself disagrees.Although he has the material, he claims that his players have not proven themselves as a unit yet. Thisis true. Yet one wonders how many teams in the conference can boast two letter-men from theUniversity of Washington. Seniors Ron Crowe and Jim Greer both won felts with the Huskies.Besides them, the Vikings have four let-termen, all guards, and a most promising group of freshmen and transfers. One of the freshmen, Herm Washington, will probably be in the starting line-up at tip-off time tonight at UBC. Washington played at Stadium's tournament squad last year. The 6' 2" forwardwill be pressed by letterman Ron Saltis and 6' 5" transfer Terry Clayton for the firth spot on the varsity. The other starters will most likely be Crowe, 6' 2" forward; Greer, 6' 7" center, and Ed Vadset, 6' 2", andDerm Cunningham 6', guards. Tonight's game, which starts at 8:30 p. m., will undoubtedly be anindication of what the conference schools can expect from Western this year. UBC once again has aso-so ball club, as indicated by their earlier games with St. Martins and Seattle Pacific, but if theVikings clobber them, they will probably become the favorites to succeed Pacific Lutheran on the toprung of the ladder. LOUD HOUSE An Interesting Noise Degree and originality of constructive noise andattendance at specified games will determine the winner of this year's Loudhouse Trophy competition.Sponsored by Helmsmen, this annual contest is open to all organized houses and independent students, upon sign-up on the Old Main Landing December 7. The game dates set forth for the competition areJanuary 8, 16, 29, and February 13. Last year the fast voluble house, Highland Hall, was temporaryawarded the trophy which can be won for keeps by any house winning the competition three yearsrunning. Helmsmen hopes to create a spirited rooting section and some interesting "noise" with thiscontest. December 4, 1959 STATS Martin led the club . . . Ron Ladines paced the Vikings in threedepartments, final statistics released by sports publicist Jack Robertson disclosed. The sophomorefullback led in rushing and total offense with 469 yards, and in scoring with six touchdowns for 36 points. Ladines' yardage placed him second in the conference in rushing, and won him a place on theEvergreen All-Conference squad. Senior halfback Sam Martin led the club in punt and kickoff returns, and was second in rushing with 271 yards gained for a 5.8 average. Martin averaged 14.6 yards on puntreturns and 23.8 on kickoff returns. The Auburn athlete was also named to the all-conference squad as a defensive halfback. Quarterback Steve Hansen was the top passer with 30 completions in 76 attempts good for 415 yards. Hansen was second in total offense and third in scoring wiith 18 points on 12 of 14PAT's and two field goals. Bob Plotts, freshman from Ta-coma, was the top receiver with 10 receptionsfor 120 yards. Sophomore Len Gargarello was second in this department with 9 catches for 208 yards. Gargarello was also third in rushing with 204 yards, and second in scoring with 30 points on fivetouchdowns. Other leaders were Jack Halliday with five interceptions, and Ken Burton with a 33.6average on 21 punts. JARRETT ATHLETICS 'No Major Change . . / Speculation has arisen during thepast quarter as to President James Jar-rett's attitude toward athletics. In a recent press conference, Dr.Jarrett attempted to clear up a number of misconceptions concerning this attitude. When asked hisopinion of Western's athletic program and the part Western plays in the Evergreen Conference, Dr.Jarrett had this to say: "I am impressed with the attitude of the Evergreen Conference t o w a rdscholastic acievement, and the way Western has maintained that attitude. I would consider it (theEvergreen Conference) an ideal organization." It has been rumored that the president intends toeliminate certain physical education sports such as skiing and rugby. To this, Dr. Jarrett made thereply: "I don't know how anyone could have gotten that idea. I don't ski myself, but I certainly havenothing against it. And as for rugby, I've never even seen a game." It is true that scholastic acievementsshould come first in college, but PE activities do have a place. I am especially in favor WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAr of the dance which is a developed art-form." There has been some talk of anathletic de-emphasis program during the next year. When asked of this, Dr. Jarrett replied, "As far asI'm concerned, there is to be no major change in the school's policy toward athletics." 26 WonderfulWeeks! 26 Top Musical Shows!

Bellingham, Washington Acting Editor—Ken RobertsonAssociate Editors—Howard De Witt, Doug Simpson ESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN REVIEWSURPRISE A - L Speaker Ignored, Insulted By STACY TUCKER Hark, you masses of asses . . . Whydid only 100 people attend the A-L lecture Tuesday morning? Everyone thought, no doubt, that he wouldwitness a dull talk by a dull journalist in which nothing new would be said. Everyone was quite right inhis assumption. The ramblings of Wil-helm Oltmans contained no thoughts that were not all too commonknowledge . . . things that you and I have known for oh so long! Let us consider the topic ofpresidential elections, in his words. "It is a well known fact that we live in a Democracy . . . All who so desire may vote . . . the majority rules. We all know, however, that the majority is a bunch ofincompetent idiots!" But this is all too common knowledge . . . Consider how our glorious president iselected. "Women vote for the man they would most like to be married to." According to Oltmans,Stevenson did not have a chance what with Ike and Mamie and the grandchildren running against him."What kind of a husband would a divorced man be in the first place?" This all boils down to the fact that"the American woman should never have been granted the right to vote." The butcher-bastard talkspeace . . . Let us move on to international relations. Who among us does not know that the wholeworld is a mess? America has given "who knows how many lives that Fascism might be killed inGermany and Italy. And now we give money to support it in Italy and Portugal!" Khruschev . . . "thebutcher-fcastard of Budapest now gets the red carpet treatment and talks of peace. Why? He is afraidthat he can not overpower America in war and vice versa." Ach! We are not afraid of Russia? We areAmericans! God is on our side. Why then, did a man faint at the thought of a missile taking but tenminutes to reach New York from Moscow? It happened at one of Oltman's lectures. He wonders thathe was not sued. "Nowhere but in the west can you be sued by your best friend." If the reader is notbecoming bored with the recapitulation of this all too common knowledge I shall continue. A biologicalfool That the whole world (Bellingham included) is in a mess is quite widely known. What? EvenAmerica is a mess? Yes, one big mess! Why does everyone hate us? Because we are the big unclewith the money behind the blunders November 13, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 13 - Page 3 ---------- of our allies. We supply the money for ill-fated ventures of nations like France. We should be ashamed to even have them in our guest book! Anyone who is not a biological fool would know better than to set out upon the ventures that Prance does, Olt-mans said. I must conclude— 'You will treat me better . . .'Yes, I am teing ironic and poking fun at every student who is reading this. The reception that this speaker got here was rotten. He is a distinguished man with something to say . . . Everyone ignored him. Ourhistory department ignored his of'er to (free of charge) sit in on their classes, he said. It is no smallwonder that Olt-mans went off to Bellingham High School with a group of high school students, saying to them, "You will treat me better than these people." 'Ptece *£ ^ofie , , , By BOB STEVENSON,Collegian Artist, Columnist We are neck deep in the machine age and it has only a foot or so to gobefore it completely dominates us. Oh, great leader, automation, with your electronic computers,your automatic pilots and electronic brains: do we have to be a product of your environment? The onlygood which could -possibly come of this is that an exchange system could be worked out for a fewWestern coeds: an electronic brain for the one they are originally equipped with. The machine age isslowly creeping into our college on the hill. In the co-op and coffee shop they have cashregistermonsters perched on the counter leering at everyone. You give the operator a bill and after she pressesthe proper buttons an abominable clanging takes place while it computes the change and kicks it outinto a tray in front of you. It's so impersonal. The Japanese, I understand, will be next to send a rocket to the moon. They are going to build it out of old G.I. beer cans. I wish Western students would stoptrying to imitate Shelly Ber-man from morning to night. Every time I turn around someone is spying,"Oh really,". "Fine, thank you," and "I'm maimed." Now he has a new recording out and the epidemic will probably go on for- For Legislators — A Lesson from H mer: The sirens called and the sailors listened,desperately wanting to follow. Homer would have seen the plot-line clearly, a transfer student pointedout to the Collegian last week. The young lady mentioned had just been to an ASB Legislature meeting where she had seen Western's student ship of state plowing through the waves. She wasn'timpressed—except by the roles of the sailors and the sirens. She felt the two advisers had the studentgroup completely enchanted. "I have never seen a student group where the faculty members socompletely dominated the actions. If they would be quiet for a while and let the students blunder forthemselves, legislators might have a chance to learn from their own experience. Perhaps the role of thefaculty advisers should be re-examined or the government turned over to them. If its purpose is efficiency, this would be fine. If its purpose is to let students learn how to govern, then they should be given achance to do something besides listen." The trouble is that legislators don't HAVE to listen only. The fact that they are verbally overpowered by faculty members is that they seldom rise to the challenge. It istrue that if one's words are not slightly intelligent, a faculty adviser may cram them down his throat, butsomewhere in the group there must be a spark of courage to try. It would help legislators if they woulddo some footwork, or use their eyes and ears, before attending meetings. The advisers do. Newlegislators are now in the majority—they also do the least talking. It might be interesting for them toknow how a student who has never had contact with Western government views them and the wholegroup, because she feels their roles are too fitting. And finally when they came to Circe's island, theenchantress turned them all into pigs. IBB •Hill ;MII "That's the third 8 o'clock he's missed this weekand he doesn't even know it!' ever. There is a letter to the editor in this issue which you might read if you are interested in that sort of thing.

COLLEGIAN PAGES: Low lll-Founded Trash To the Collegian: "Freshman and transfer students . . . SLOPPY"? This letter is writtenin open protest of a certain Collegian columnist who has recently been stretching his "Piece of Rope."The Collegian, when making this column available, surely was quite confident of the adult discretion ofits columnist. I am sure it did not realize that an upper classman "adult" would have the short-sightedprejudice to suppose that the responsibility for a sloppy coffee lounge could possibly lie entirely withthe freshman and transfer students on campus. It occurs to me that if this is an example of the talentand the ability of the Collegian staff that it is perhaps time for a precise change. With the dawn of a newera on Western's campus—new president, SUB, and Science Building—I would like to stop seeing thesame low, ill-founded type of trash that repeatedly finds its way to the Collegian's unfortunate pages. Ithink the time for "poison pen" journalism is in high school and not on the college campus. I don'tthink college is made up entirely of stabilized sophomores, juniors and seniors, but rather the spiritedfreshman and transfer students who provide the true impetus and dynamics of a college campus.This does not mean the coffee lounge is for the sole use of freshman and transfer students but for thebenefit of all. I think the coffee cup problem involves every single person on Western's campusregardless of class, and this includes you, Mr. Stevenson. Respectfully submitted. Paul Koroscil(People who comment on the "unfortunate" pages of the Collegian CAN do something about it. If theyreally think changes should be made, we invite them to join the staff, where they can eventually workto the top and make any changes they desire. From this staff comes all the "poison pen"material—except letters to the editor.—Editor.)

This writer is going to give you his impressions of what went on. A late afternoonsun shone strongly through the large windows of the new Student Union Building as it picked up thegrain of the large teakwood table and the color in the gold and gray rug. This was the setting, as themembers of the Legislature filed in to take their places in the conference room for another Wednesdayafternoon tussle. Mr. Dodd Moved . . . Mr. Dodd moved to dispsnse with the reading of the minutes andwas stopped cold by Dr. Murray, ,shov i".g that it v/as going to be anoLher one of those meetings. Thedissertat'on that followed was on whether a member could dispense with the reading of the minutes oradopt the minutes without reading them. Dr. Murray held that the latter was the proper way so Mr. Doddmoved to adopt. The minutes were read. They were then adopted after Dr. Cederstrom corrected the spelling. The first order of business on finance took approximately 45 minutes. What it boiled down to is that Mr. Jerry Baker was asking the Legislature for backing, but was told that he would have to gothrough the Co-op committee. At times open debate or argument broke out but the gavel remainedsilent. 'Oh Piddle' Mr. Rabourn made his Union Board report on the extension of coffee shop hours anda request for funds for additional equipment for the U n i on Building. The equipment includedtypewriters and filing cabinets for the offices and a stereo for the music lounge. One of thetypewriters was to be an electric portable and Dr. Murray asked "Why an electric, for gosh sakes?" Mr.Rabourn said that it was for efficiency. Dr. Murray came back with "Oh piddle." The stereo went downto defeat with one of the classic statements of all sane reason. Mr. Mills said, "I don't think thestudents would have the quality of records to play on it." (Mr. Mills ran for office on the platform ofrepresenting the student body. We wonder if he consulted everyone on the quality of his records.) Therest of the office equipment was purchased. Employing the Singers . . . Mr. Bob Storms asked theLegislature for more money since the dance band had added two singers to its program. TheLegislature decided to immediate problem. A "naturalistic" drama, it is very easy to play on the level ofJack Webb's Dragnet. At this level it is very poor; it would be degrading to the "Wild Duck" on the stage. Though exaggerated, the characters portray people as they think, talk, and act. By walking in thecorridors on the campus, one can observe the personalities of most of the characters in the play. How can you say it's funny when the final curtain is drawn down over the body of a young girl? This isOlympian laughter—the laughter of the gods at man's pitiful attempts to get along with others and hisstupid hu- WESTERN BAND AT HOMECOMING The song is done . . . but the memory? cut out onemixer so the band could employ the singers. The meeting was adjourned. Something seemed out ofplace as this writer watched the meeting. I think it was looking to the green wood for signs of smoldering and seeing every spark go discreetly out. Only one member of this governing body seems to be doingany kind of a job. I am giving Mr. Mike Barnhart a vote of appreciation for the preparation of diggingbehind the facts before each meeting. I wonder if we gave the other members a shovel, if they wouldtake the hint or would look forward to a ground breaking ceremony? If ignorance is bliss, themembers should be happy. PLAY Ironing Out Problems "The quick change from comedy to tragedyand the in-between stages are extremely difficult for the actor to get across," stated Dr. William Gregoryas he explained the "Wild Duck" cast's man reactions to the problems of life. The fourteen-year-old girlshot herself over nothing. With two weeks to go, Dr. Gregory expects to iron out the problems, though the production isn't moving along as rapidly as hoped. Getting under the lines seems to be the mainobstacle of the cast, as the realization of the tremendous job before them becomes apparent. STUDENT WIVES Club More Active A demonstration of floral arrangements and decorations for Christmas willbe given at the December meeting (Dec. 2, 7:30 p.m. in room 201 of the I.A.

The ensemble will appear at WWCE on Tuesday, Nov. 17. The original quartet was organizedby Otto Feld in Hungary, where it won first prize at the Sopron Music Festival a few months after itsinception. Subsequently it won recognition both in music festivals and concert fields withappearances and radio recitals in Vienna, Salzburg, Zunich, Frankfort, Berlin, Cologne and Paris.Assisted by Harold L. Zellerbach and other patrons of music, the University of Redlands, California,invited the members of the Feld group to leave Austria, their place of refuge from communism, and come to the United States to re-establish themselves in professional music. The group accepted the invitationto become quartet-in-residence at Redlands in September, 1958, and began immediately on arrival aseries of concerts throughout California, arranged for them before they had been heard in America.Members of the quartet are Otto Feld, founder and first violin; Jonas Forgacs, second violin; and GyorgySzende, viola, all from Hungary; and Wladyslaw Przybyla, cello, from Poland. Rabourn Reveals Theme Behind the desk of the Union Board office on the top floor of the S.U.B. sat chairman Jack Rabourn. Inbetween telephone calls, people coming in and out, and workmen crawling through the of "ice window, Jack revealed that the theme for the dedication of the new Student Union is "Living Design." Areadedications will first be made in different sections of the building, climaxed by the formal dedication onDecember 6, featuring out of state speakers. Efforts are being made to obtain a traveling art exhibit fordedication week. In the future the board is planning on having an information booth in the main lobbyof the S.U.B. Arrangements are underway to purchase a baby grand piano for the main upstairslounge and a hi-fi or stereo for the union music lounge. The board is holding office hours at 3:00 daily intheir office in room 203.

(THISWEEK'S COVER STORY) DAMIELS HALL In Another World By PAUL MacBETH By now everyone atWestern must be acquainted with the "Campus Serenaders," otherwise known as the "boys fromDaniels Hall." This group of casuals walked off with the Homecoming Skit Night competition as well as the residence display race. House President Nygel Adams accounts for the success of the group bysaying: "We are in another world down thsre—from isolation comes originality in individualism." Asidefrom being isolated, the dif-ferents go to class occasionally, and says Adams, "about half of our 28 boys take music courses." The Daniels Hall group are known to most girls on and off the campus as theserenaders who frequently visit women's houses with a display of five guitars, one mandolin banjo, tenharmonicas, one clarinet, and several operatic voices. On Saturday nights a few of these way-outsmay be seen in performance at the Viking. Persons attending Homecoming Skit Night got a taste ofwhat goes on at Daniels Hall as the beaus sang ten "original" verses to the tune of "Traveling On."Adams says the group took 14 minutes to think of those challenging verses, and one hour topractice. He added, "as you can tell, we're not always out to lunch." While in the phase of deephypothetical t h o u g h t , the serenaders thought of, according to them, a real original idea for ahouse display. At completion time, the two-story, block-type Daniels Hall, looked like a colis-seum. Abalcony was seen with a moving thumb—pointing down of course. In the arena were several afterdinner companions such as Huckleberry Hound, Road-runner, Snuffy Smith, the alligator from Pogo,Digger O'Dell, Nero, a Central Wildcat, Sarge from Beetle Bailey, and several mighty Vikings. Whilethe thumb was swinging up and down—one of those mighty Vikings swung a mighty hatchet on thehead of a helpless Wildcat. The overall theme was entitled "Contemporary Rome." Adams disclosedthat the display in its entirety was not wholly in continuity as every original idea from each originalDanielite was injected. « * . i . * « . - . . . . . . . . .

An end hascome to the frenzy and exuberance known as Homecoming 1959. Rome has fallen, the gods are in theirplaces once again. The memory lingers. Happy, joyous, unending hours of Roman splendor that wereenjoyed by both students and alumni. Behind the scenes, the story is not over; not until the last scroll is gone, until the last bill is paid, the last decoration uprooted and the last 'thank you' sent. The studentwill remember Homecoming 1959 for a little while. So much enthusiasm cannot be soon forgotten.As Rome was not built in a day, neither were the plans for the gala Roman affair. A spark was lit with the Coronation Assembly, with suspense being prevalent everywhere. One by one the princesses werenamed: Audrey Foster, Sue Johnston, Mary Ann Bosnich, and Gail Cooper. Then the moment of destiny for the new Sigrid XXII, when M.C. Jerry Yarborough announced that Peggy Owner would wear thecoveted crown and reign over her Roman subjects for the weekend festivities. The spark broke into aflame of enthusiasm as the Bonfire and Rally actually gave flame to the Homecoming picture. Theflame was fed with the fuel of laughter and applause that rang from the Auditorium as a half-dozenCaesars and many more toga-topped Latins performed before an enthusiastic audience that completelyfilled the room. The minstrels from Daniels Hall were accorded top laurels for their entertainment. Anenthralled crowd watched the marvels of juggler Roger Dollarhyde, winner of the individual actcompetition. About the campus and vicinity were many excellent house displays, depicting Romanfountains, the burning of Rome as Nero fiddled, and other Roman glimpses. Downtown businesswindows were filled with clever displays, giving to the entire town the Roman thought. And the townwitnessed a splendid parade, that gave full evidence to the hard work done by such organizations as theSophomore class, whose entry was judged best. To many spectators as well as team members, thegame was the best effort of the Western squad in many years. A resounding 27-13 win over theWildcats gave the Viking supporters every reason to be happy. The flame of Homecoming 1959 haderupted. Simmering into embers, the gala Homecoming Ball paid final tribute to its queen, Peggy Owner. Spirits high, November 13, 1959 ASB PREXY GUSTAVSON QUEEN PEG A moment of destiny forthe 22nd Sigrid the Romans made this last effort to save their Rome, but as the early morning hoursbrought a new day, so too did Rome disappear into memories. NEW STANDARD Must Pass NewExam "This college, as well as other similar institutions, has long been criticized for graduatingpeople who either will not or cannot use their mother tongue (in writing) with reasonable effectiveness . .." With these words, Dean of Students Merle Kuder announced this week that a new college standardwould be implemented immediately. "A student will actually have to demonstrate this competencybefore he is qualified for student teaching. In general, the time is set toward the end of the sophomoreyear since many students begin their first student teaching soon after." Applications for the test willgo through the Bureau of Research; there will be no fee. The Mother Tongue on File Anyone who haspassed English 220 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN when it was a required course will not have to pass the test: Others will, the Dean said. "The test consists of three parts: objective items dealingwith good usage and form; a spelling test (words taken from Pollock's University spelling list; and atheme." The English department has placed themes on file in the Library showing samples of topicsand generally indicating standards that will be required. "The themes will contain examples of both goodand poor writing." If a student fails the test, it can be taken at the regularly scheduled time insubsequent quarters. With these words, the Dean of Students put the new standard into effect, andthe College announced that: STUDENTS T A K I N G THE NEW STUDENT TEACHING ENGLISHSTANDARD TEST MUST APPLY to the Bureau of Research by 4 p.m. Wednesday, November 18 toestablish their eligibility. The test will be given Saturday, November 21, in Old Main (room to bedesignated later.) Time was short but the mother tongue would immediately become a requirement.Page 7 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 13 - Page 8 ---------- CULTURE COMMENT Circulation Has Increased Sunday's Social Romp By BUDD MORISETTE TheSaga Pood Service is certainly proving to be an important improvement over last year's (ugh!) cuisine,but no matter how good anything is, there will still be constructive eriti-. cisms (sometimes known asgripes). Lately, there has been a proclamation which states that, "The Sunday noon meal will beconsidered as a dress-up affair. Men will wear suits or slacks and sport coat." This has been criticizedas being unfair by some of the leading members of MRH and Highland Hall. Such illustrious leaders as"Tank," "Animal," "Big Ed," the "Nose," and many others thought that this was slightly unfair because,in Ted "Tank" Smthers' own words, "I can't see taking my tray through the 'slop room' with my goodthreads on." "Going through the "slop room," is actually the act of bringing the emptied tray back tothe Tray Return Room where you are just as likely as not to be squirted with a stray tray hose, dip yourelbow in greasy eating-utensils, or haphazardly nuzzle up to leftover stew giblets which have drippedinvitingly over the side of the receiving counter. These acts could be responsible for some highlyunwanted cleaning bills. THE DARK AGES This past Sunday, the appropriate style of clothing wasworn to dinner at MRH. Also, most of the student appearances were quite neat, but a minor revolt was staged in that a few inmates were adorned with costumes of, shall it be said, varied hues. Bob "Tiger" Ogden made his debut in a pair of "Big Ed" Mebourne's pants. "Big Ed" wore a few of "Tiger's"accoutrements such as the "coat with the shoulder-length sleeves" and other enhancing garments."Easy Ed" Vadset made the hit of the show with his "bebop togs." His taste in colors was, in theleast, abominable. There were about ten to twelve contestants in this struggle for "acutetastelessness." These people were later interviewed. THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Jerry "Animal"Baker . . . "After a hard night of stargazing, I find it rather difficult to rise by noon, let alone rise in fulldress." Jerry "Nose" Rabdau . . . "We wear suits at home on Sundays?" Bill "Retread" Treadwell . . ."College is not a social romp . . . Mass participation of putting on suits (to give a downtown restaurantimpression) is absurd." Leo Dodd . . . "The heck with culture . . . Let's have better food!" The pointmade by all, though, was that of going through the tray room with their good suits on. THERENAISSANCE OR DEAN MAC COMES THROUGH After all the wild, uninhibited demonstrations byhostile students, this week Dean MacDonald came through with a heretofore unprecedented solutionwhich was so contemporary— so wide in scope that we decided to "put it on Sehome and see if itbounces." He decided to have the Saga boys bus us. ^Ipiiilipillil i i l l l l l l l ll fcpi|pi«!iasl* STUDENTUNION Be a Lounge Rat By GORDY MILLS Are you inhibitive? Do you need a little social prestige?

From the way they looked out thereSaturday, the Vikings can very well be compared with last year's championship club. Though they lackthe real triple threat man like Fred Emerson, a backfield of Martin, Ladines, and Gargarello, run by eitherof two top quarterbacks, is tough to stop. And speaking of quarterbacks, just how does one choosebetween Hansen and Ringenbach? Each completed five of eight passes Saturday and each has over 250passing yards to his credit for the season. Individually, Ladines is the top rusher for the squad, and withhis 137 yard output last week, the big fullback should be second or third in conference rushing statistics. There may be harder tackling ball clubs in the conference but this writer hasn't seen them. Looking backat the Central game, there are two examples that really illustrated this point. Sam Martin was the boy who turned in the hardest one of the day when he hit a Wildcat receiver just as that poor unsuspecting ladcaught a pass. That kid must have felt like a truck had rolled over him. The other example occurred earlyin the contest when Doug Ringenbach clobbered Central fullback Larry Worrell, a 5'8", 220 poundpowerhouse. Ringenbach didn't tackle Worrell; he literally smashed him to the ground with a viciousshoulder block. Before we get off the subject of football; have you ever wondered how Steve Hansen kicks off all the way to the end zone with only a three step approach to the ball? It doesn't seem possible, butbasketball is fast approaching the limelight on the Western campus. Last Saturday morning coach JackHubbard ran his '59-'60 Viking round bailers through their first public scrimmage of the season. Theworkout took the form of a varsity versus JV game, and when the contest drew to an end the varsity wasin front 75-60. From the looks of the workout, spectators at the Viking games this year can expect a fairly deadly exhibition of shooting, as four of the five top scorers hit fifty percent or better. Ron Crowe led thefield with 14 points on six for eleven from- the field and a pair of charity tosses. Jack Prince, a JV transferfrom Grays Harbor Junior College, collected 13 on four for eight from the field and five free throws. EdVadset was the only one who didn't hit fifty percent as he got 12 points on four for 13 and four foul shots.Jerry Meurs, the other JV stalwart of the day collected 11 points while big Jim Greer picked up ten on four for seven from the field and two charity throws. Other scorers were Gary Mose with nine, Mike Kirk andKeith Kingsbury with eight each and Terry Clayton with seven. Bud Bloch, Bob Gilda and Clayton led therebounders with nine each. The Viks should start with one of their tallest squads in recent years withGreer (no relation to the writer) at 6'7", Clayton and Bloch at 6'5", Gilda, Mose, and Crowe at 6'3" and fiveor six others over six feet. Defensively, the squad didn't look too sharp, but what can one expect from the first real workout of the season. Besides, defense is usually the last phase of the game to get ironed outand the Norsemen still have nearly three weeks before their openers in the Totem Tourney at UBC.Usually unheralded, always unrewarded, and completely ignored so far this year by this newspaper(?)—After all, I have to slam somebody!!—is the intramural program. In intramural bowling, after fourweeks of play, a group of young collegiate gentlemen known as the "Beer Frames" have a 10-2 record totop all teams. The two top keglers in the league so far are Larry Dillman of the Little Viks, with a 183average and a 210 top game and Don White of the Head Pins with a 181 average and a high game of 206. In intramural basketball, the Nymphs and the Chinese Bandits are undefeated in the A league with 3-0and 2-0 records respectively, IVCF No. 1 is on top in the B league, the Hustlers and Terrace Hall lead theC leaguers and Norsemen's Inn has a 3-0 record on the D league. Top individual scorers so far includeDick Stark, Andy Anderson, Gil Dobbe, and Dave Johnson. Stark picked up 34 counters for the TKBs intheir 56-55 victory over the Sweatsox, while Dobbe and Johnson collected 26 and 22 respectively for theBeatniks as they topped Alpine Court 68-40. Anderson hit his 22 point effort for the Norsemen. Page10 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN November 13, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 13 - Page 11 ---------- Remember Last Year Western's now potent Vikings, reminiscent of last year's conference champions, stormed to a 27-13 victory over Central last Saturday before a Homecoming crowd of nearly 3,000. Theoffensive minded Viks put together scoring drives of 99, 93, 90, and 41 yards as they scored in eachperiod against the favored Wildcats. Big Ron Ladines, the Norsemen's top ground gainer, added 137yards and a pair of touchdowns to his total, while Sam Martin and Len Gargarello added 52 and 78 yards respectively to their totals. Steve Hansen and Doug Ring-enbach each connected on five out of eightaerials for a combined total of 158 yards. The Viks first big drive started after a Central punt was blowndead on the Western seven. Ringenbach, alternating his plays beautifully, moved the home team 93yards in 12 plays, with Ladines carrying for the score from the one yard line. After a second Wildcat punt fell dead on the one foot line, Hansen took to the air and literally flew the Viks over for their secondtouchdown. The big play was a 32 yard pass from Hansen to Gary Eilers, who made a sensational"alley-oop" catch on the goal line. Then Central, still smarting from their loss to Western last year, came back with a pair of rapid scores, with freshman halfback Harvey Rath getting credit for all 12 points.The Cats got one just before the half and the other right after the second half kick-off. Western, at thistime led only 14-13, due to Hansen's two PATs. Western roared back for their third score, again withRingenbach at the throttle, as Ladines finished the 90 yard drive with a one yard plunge. Hansen, goingfor his ninth try for point in eleven attempts, had his kick blocked and the Viks led 20-13. The finalscoring drive of the afternoon ended when Gargarello went over from the six after a 41 yard series.Hansen made his kick and the final score read 27-13. Western gained 432 yards total offense; nearlyas much as they gained in their first three games this season. They collected 25 first downs, 17rushing and eight through the air. STATISTICS Ladines Ranks High Ron Ladines's 137 yards againstCentral last Saturday brought his season's total to 420 yards gained in 83 carries good for 5.1 yardsper carry. Before this outburst the sophomore fullback was fourth in the conference November 13, 1959ACTION AT HOMECOMING Before 3,000, Ringenbach at the throttle in this department, but nowprobably will be considerably higher. Sam Martin, senior halfback, is second in rushing with 253 yards in 44 carries. Sophomore Lenny Gargarello, has averaged 4.3 on 168 yards in 39 carries. Freshmanfullback Jim Mc-cuen has gained 82 yards on 21 rushes for a 3.9 average. In the passing department,junior Steve Hansen leads with 23 completions in 58 attempts for 339 yards and three touchdowns. He has completed 39.6% of his tosses. Starting quarterback Doug Ringenbach, a freshman from Foster,has connected with 17 of his 46 aerial attempts for 264 yards and one touchdown. Gargarello paces thepass receivers with seven catches for 191 yards and 27.3 yards per catch. End Gary Moore and Ladines are runners-up in this department with six catches, while Martin and frosh end Bob Plotts arepressing with five catches each. The top scorer is Ladines, who has scored six touchdowns, fiverunning— one on a pass, for 36 points. Gargarello has 18 points on three touchdowns, and Hansenhas 16 points on two field goals and ten of 12 PAT attempts. Jack Halliday leads the pass defenderswith five interceptions, which he has run back 104 yards. Ringenbach has picked off three opposingaerials for 135 yards. Martin paces the squad in both kick-off and punt returns with a 26 yard average on five returns in the former, and a 14.6 average for five returns in the latter. GYMNASIUM An AttractiveAddition Construction for the new gymnasium will begin during Christmas vacation, Athletic DirectorCharles Lappenbusch reported Monday. "Bids will be taken WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN onDecember 2nd, and the building is contracted for completion in 365 days." "The building will be anattractive addition to the campus," stated Dr. James Jarrett. The two-story addition will be constructed to the east and south of the current structure. The dimensions will be roughly 241' x .116'. The mainentrance will be on the east end, but there will also :be., entrances on the Campus Drive side, and tothe swimming pool wing. :'.. The upper floor. will contain the basketball court '(estimated seatingcapacity four thousand) which will be in the center of two- lateral courts, also running laterallyi.Originallyit had been planned to have, triple rollbacks and a 5,000 capacity,- but instead there will be only doublerollbacks and therefore probably closer .to.a 4,000 capacity. Facilities will be: available for not onlybasketball, but also handball, volleyball, badminton, (gymnastics, wrestling and boxing and alsotennis and archery. Lappenbusch commented on the "Psychology of Progression" when he wasinterviewed. When Lappy first came to Western in 1933 the coaches office and the locker room wereabout three steps apart and were located where the ski shop is now. When the coaches were movedacross the hall, where the Co-op is now, this seemed to be quite. distant. But when the entire program,was moved to where it is now, people wondered why they were put way, out. in the "swampy edge of the campus," "The thing is," Lappy declared, "people just don't think in terms of the future. Perhaps weshould be even farther away than we are, what with more new buildings to be built in the future. Athletics belong on the periphery where there is more room." Page 11 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 13 - Page 12 ---------- TEACHING Communist in the Class? "Should Communists be allowed to teach in our colleges anduniversities?" This was the topic for a panel discussion group of a Speech 200 class, this week, but itsoon became a community issue, too. Interviewing members of the local press, student Gary Odegaardtalked to Bill Fowler, city editor of the Bell-ingham Herald. Fowler said that he was against it in publicinstitutions, but that we have no business objecting to it in private institutions. Citing the Smith Act of1940 which made it a crime to conspire to teach and advocate the violent overthrow of our government, he stated that a true communist couldn't help but advocate the overthrow of our government.Odegaard next proceeded to the Pioneer Printing Co. offices where he found the location of theBellingham Labor News and its' editor, Charles E. King. When he asked him his opinion on the subject,King replied, "That's quite a question."- (That's what all the editors said.) After, a little thought, however,he replied that it might not be a bad idea, arid that we should not be afraid of communism if ourcapitalistic system is so. good. Ken Robertson, editor of the Collegian, gave the same opinion asKing. He added, "We are in college to learn with an open mind, not a closed narrow mind." He thought that a few communist teachers in each institution of higher learning would at least be interesting andthat it would probably do much more good than harm. Mrs. H. J. Christensen, editor of the "SumasNews," (Sumas is Odegaard's home town, 26 miles northeast of Bellingham) gave this statement, "Anysmall seed from a communistic theory or practice a professor may favor— we are indulging in wishfulthinking if we believe he won't drop it in the classroom." "All of the editors gave some interestingopinions and reasons," Odegaard said. As for •' his own, he believes that he would go along withKing and Robertson.- "If our capitalistic system is so good, we should not be afraid of a few communist teachers in each college and university. We should be in college with an open mind to learn new ideas.Our freedom of democracy allows, us' this open mind. We certainly don't have to be swayed by the newideas.". The panel discussion itself brought forth a possible solution to the problem— havingexchange teachers between the U.S.' and U.S.S.R. "Maybe none of the opinions and i_;:sons arevalid, but it certainly makes for interesting discussion," Odegaard said Tuesday as he told theCollegian of his project^ OFFICIAL COLLEGE CALENDAR Sunday, Nov. 15...

Show moreMmei mmM::tM§li&MMM m:mm§MmW: m By BOB STEVENSON, Collegian Artist, Columnist This is the case of smooching on the porch of Edens, or "she dreamed she shook hands in her Maidenform bra." There is a new law of the home of color and light that states that there are the lips of men and the lips of women and never the twain shall meet on Edens porch. Forced to the cars for their last good nights, a Western co-ed exclaimed, it is increasingly hard to tell just who is saying good night to whom, becausa car windows get so steamed up (co5d weather does it, I've been told.) This problem is tough on the fellas since they can't give their girls a loving peck on the forehead and shove them through the door before the smiling proctor sends the bolt slamming home with a resounding smash. All hope is lost for Western students to cling to their only remaining thread of tradition. What makes a day? It started out like any other day, a cold, ivet, miserable Belling hamtype day. It wasn't the day of the Pig War, or the day the prices went up at the Royal, or the day paper cups were used in the coffee shop. It was the day cranberries were elevated from the bog to the front page headlines of every newspaper and every radio newscast in the land. Yes, it was the day of "The Great Cranberry Hoax." Cranberries were taken from the grocers' shelves and even from the tables of dignitaries. You've probably guessed by now that everyones mouth was watering for cranberries, but they were proven bad for the thyroid. How was it proven? A white-robed scientist threw a Thanksgiving dinner for some rats and discovered that their thyroidglands reacted. Boy, this is some comparison, man to rat. The greatest hoax of all that day was the idea brought out by a Viceroy smoker, being that it would take several tons of cranberries to bring about a similar reaction in man's thyroid. Yes, that was quite a day. Page 2 PUBLICATIONS One More Newsmagazine A COMPATRIOT 'News in the Fifth Dimension Another campus newspaper followed the Collegian trend last week as Seattle Pacific College's Falcon shifted its format to the newsmagazine form-. "News in the fifth dimension" was the term Falcon editor Eleanor Johnson used to describe the SPC publication's debut into the relatively-unpopulated campus newsmagazine field. "As a newspaper the Falcon has outlived (if it ever existed) its vital function of direct communication. The purpose of a newspaper is to report Who, What, Where, When and Why. The first four W's are thoroughly covered in . . . announcements and campus posters. The emphasis of this news magazine will be WHY." The Collegian itself was almost overjoyed for two reasons: it had gained an advocate and associate in the Evergreen Conference, and the Falcon's statement o' reason was so well put it should have been printed in the Collegian long ago.

They seem to be familiar with psychological terms, particularly in exercising compensation! What are they compensating for? The answer is obvious to those familiar to the situation—they failed to advise last year, so they are dictating this year. And they seem to be enjoying every minute of it. Perhaps the advisers should do a study and find out where they should be located in the political pecking order. Dr. Murray is currently leading the battle to buy prestige for the Legislature. The latest move is to change the lettering of the Legislature meeting place from "Conference Room" to "ASB Legislature Meeting Room." It seems to some observers that the members could better prove themselves and earn some prestige, since they (Dr. Murray) term it so important, by understanding some concrete and constructive action. {Ed. Note — The above is an unsolicited student opinion. It is presented as one view—not as an insult or editorial policy.) November 20, 1959 Out of the Rushes Out of the rushes on our cover this week, one may be able to imagine a wild duck taking flight, and then he may not. That will depend largely upon him, his thoughts, his feelings and the effect the world in which he lives has had upon him. When Ibsen's Wild Duck takes flight on the Western stage tonight, it will ask the question, "Do we need the life lie?" This may make people think, it may make them laugh, it may pass completely over them. Civilization's Laziest Individual . . . The reaction of each individual will depend, however, entirely upon that individual, for somehow no matter how hard we try to deny it or escape it, American life, Western Washington College, and all we know depends largely upon the individual, his thoughts and his actions. That individual has become the laziest, easy-security-seeking man Western civilization has ever produced and spoon-fed. Tomorrow's American man can be worse than today's. In high school he is being taught to "adjust," in daily life he is being taught that democracy is a lovely game played in ideal circumstances, and in college he is being taught that all that matters is getting the "degree"—because it offers "job security." As a child he has been taught that his best role in life is to set a goal he can achieve before retirement age, when he can live on social security. In college he has been taught that if he passes the tests and learns the techniques he will be ready to fit into society. He will thien be free to go to his daily job, read his daily newspaper entertainment, watch his TV, buy his home and new car on the installment plan and live happily ever after in a blissful state of togetherness. The Individual Will Be Disliked Henrik Ibsen defends the individual, unliked man, and Dr. William Gregory is making Western drama a place where individuality is required. When directing a play Dr. Gregory shouts, castigates, damns and, once-in-a-blue-moon, praises his players. He demands that they work. He accepts no excuses. He is a severe t a s k m a s t e r . He has brought some of the greatest works of Western civilization's greatest playwrights to the Western stage. His players have rarely touched on the reality of the characters they have portrayed; they may never do it. But they have tried and have been given the chance to try, to work at something that took more than competency. They have not been given two-bit roles in two-bit comedies and meaningless entertainment pieces. They have not been given things they could do well; they have been given things they couldn't hope to really do well. They have had to work themselves furiously to come near what they were attempting. They have not been given cheap success in a ribbon-wrapped package, and the audiences have not been given amusement always, either. Audiences have gone away shocked, upset, but usually thinking, unless they have denied themselves the right. Success as Cheap as Numbers . . . When the Wild Duck opens tonight, it might be well to consider what things other departments of Western's academics and activities might consider, might offer, might try. Try. Success is as cheap as the numbers it comes in today. And if you do not understand our cover, you might consider that you are an American. Is it possible that you have lost your imagination, because you have never used it? And what will you do about it— When security beckons, When in the rushes there is a bird that might have taken flight . . . had you let it?

He went on about seminars and the unlimited value some of them have for students. Many such hours spent discussing subjects informally with qualified speakers would be excellent but "only the initiative of the students could achieve this." Western, according to the best of Dr. Jarrett's knowledge, has become more highly regarded as a college in the past few years. "The SUB is not thought of as a place to kill an hour," the president thought, though the situation—the attitude of the students toward the SUB —depends on the students. Some people laughed, but those who have attended either of Dr. Jarrett's press conferences are now convinced that the president meant what he said when he offered to answer any questions they had about the college. All students are invited to attend; the conferences will be held every Monday a 4:10 p.m. in the lounge off the Union Coffee Shop, unless other notice is given. If you wonder, come in and ask. There must be more than 10 students on campus who are not completely satisfied. Three people waited in the coffee lounge Tuesday afternoon for the press conference with Dr. James Jarrett. At 3:15 Western's president came in and the group sat down, each with a cup of coffee. "Before any questions," Dr. Jarrett Plans in a Flurry began, "I have some news . . .

UNION BOARD Lobbying for Stereo The coffee shop with its "Exotica" music is running smoothly, the short chairs and cushioned table chairs are arranged in the main floor lounges, the top floor offices are inhabited, and now the Student Union Board's attention is focused on the basement recreation room. For the recreation room, which now has an attic-like look because of the various stuff stored there, the board is contemplating a ping-pong table, a billiard table, a jukebox, and food and drink vending machines. (That is, if the legislature will allow it.) The board's request for a stereophonic set for the music lounge, which went before the legislature last week was denied. It was decided to bring the subject up again at legislature this week with several new supporting arguments and the entire board there to lobby for it. Dances in the Union were discussed and it was decided that a member of the union board must be present when the organization that is giving the dance is planning the decorations to approve them. Darryl Zentner reported on a conference, the Association of College Unions, which he attended in Moscow, Idaho, and at which he was elected vice-president of next year's conference. The crowded condition of the coffee shop was brought up. The hope was that it will improve as the upstairs lounge becomes more in use. The coffee shop will remain open until 3:30 p.m., November 25. Page 5 FELD QUARTETTE 'First Good Musicians' By STACY TUCKER We have at last been treated to some genuine musicians this quarter! There was no aspect of the Peld Quartette's engagement at Western that was not a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. These gentlemen are not only accomplished musicians but sincere persons as well. I inquired of Otto Feld as to his feelings regarding the idea of the lecture -demonstrations. " Wonderful,'' he said. His only regret was that they could not stay for a full week! For those who were fortunate enough to attand one or more of the performances by the quartette I need not qualify my words of praise. I consider these experiences with the Feld Quartette to be the most enjoyable we have yet experienced this quarter. What the two lecture demonstrations and the performance on Tuesday morning actually amounted to was three separate concerts, all of which were excellent. One immediately notices the magnificent degree of synchronization that this group has attained. At times it seemed that the instruments were not three or four separae voices but rather one enchanting voice. At other times it seemed as if a fascinating conversation was taking place. Add to these elements the excellent use of dynamics employed by this group and you have a string quartette that is worthy of its name! It would be impossible to recapitulate all the ingredients of their three performances, but I shall discuss what I feel will be interesting aspects for you. This reviewer became fascinated in the last movement (vivo) of the TrioSerenade by Kodaly, a contemporary Hungarian composer. Like Bartok, Kodaly has called upon Hungarian folk music in its pure aspect. Throughout the first and last movements fascinating little themes and charming rhythms swell and become something immense . . . yet, they lose none of their beauty and "simplicity." For the last half of their Tuesday performance the quartette moved into the clasiscal realm with Mozart's Quartet in C Major. Their rendition of this work was equally fascinating and excellent. ,AA O (THIS WEEK'S COVER STORY) THE WILD DUCK When the Curtaens Rise By JUDY BORMAN Familiar faces on campus will be transported to another world tonight as they lose their identity in their portrayals of Ibsen's characters from "The Wild Duck." When the curtains rise at 8:15 p.m. the culmination of the long week, in which cast members tore apart and analyzed each aspect selves in the main character, Hjalmar, as portrayed by Doug VanderYacht, who handles the role with customary skill. Playing her first major part on Western's stage, speech and drama student, Lori Spring, will portray the female leading part of Hjalmar's wife, Gina. Lonnie Morgan, also playing his first leading role here, will portray Gregars, while Sandra Clark, a familiar figure on stage, will play the pari of Hedvig. Dave Hubarfc is cast as Werle, William Robertson as Old Ekdal, Judith Alexander as Mrs. Sorby, Jarrell Yarbrough as Relling, Tom Aston as Molvik, Jerry Boursaw as Graberg, Bob Burgoyne as Petterson and Larry Dorman as Jensen. Other cast members are Donald Alder, Dave Robertson, Richard Stephens, Patricia Herringa and Lori Booth. Now that the cast has been named, a word is due about the man who chose it. In talking to the various persons associated with the play, it becomes evident that opinion of Dr. William Gregory runs high. As one member said "We're darned lucky to have him." The others nodded agreement, contributing the following comments concerning their director; "He knows what he's doing," "demanding to a faculty," "a true task master," "excellent director," and perhaps most significant, "he knows how to get the cast to give its very utmost." Acting as his assistant, Jerri Holman has spent the past few weeks easing some of the responsibilities from Gregory's shoulders. This is one of the best playes in existence" she, claims, and adding "because of our wonderful cast and crew, I feel we're doing it justice." Yes, t h e s e gentlemen are musicians. How often it is that the true artist is most congenial and charming as a person in addition to the vast wealth of music he possesses. It is a true saying that the more we know on any subject the more we find is yet to be known . . . But, dear reader, that is a subject for another day. of the play, repeated their lines over and over, thought, worked and studied, will take place. It has been a long and difficult task for those involved, but they went to rehearsals with open minds and they discovered, as one member of the cast put it, "The play has a lot to say to anyone who will take the time to listen." Tuning in on one of these rehearsals, this writer found the play to be exceptionally well cast. Through careful analysis, each player has managed to grasp a thorough understanding of the character he plays, and consequently to act it convincingly. Those who view the play with a receptive outlook will be able to catch glimpses of them- Page 6 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Prompters, Sandy Norman and Rosemary Cook have undertaken one of the mora exasperating jobs, seeing that lines are given correctly. In spite of the tediousness of this task, Sandy says of the production, "It's fun," while Tom Aston, assistant to technical director, Mark Flanders, claims "it's work." Conceding the fact that rehearsals are work, cast and crew lay claim to a feeling of satisfaction at seeing things tie together in preparation for tonight's production. John Panagos, stage manager, will be responsible for seeing that all goes well in the technical department as Sue Weidman handles the lights, Paige Darragh, the sound and special effects and Lori Booth and Bonna Michaelson, the properties. Also on the technical staff are Judy Borman, publicity manager, and Carol Erchinger and Sue Richey who designed and produced November 20, 1959 It took time; it took thought.

November 20, 1959 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 7 all the women's costumes. Switching back to the play itself, this writer would like to express an agreement with the director's statement that this is an extremely worthwhile, as well as enjoyable play. It is a thought-provoking classic, a penetrating study of human nature, and Gregory's interpretation stresses the comic aspects, although the comedy is always subject to the underlying seriousness and final tragedy. Exceptionally realistic, the Wild Duck characters are ones you can believe in; they are true to life.

However, so does every other club in the league. The lettermen are all guards: Derm Cunningham, Ed Vadset and Ron Saltis, who also plays forward. The former two were both starters at one time or another last year, and Saltis saw action as a reserve. Hubbard has eight transfers that will be seeing their first varsity action at Western; they are lettermen, Jim Greer and Ron Crowe, and ex-frosh players Terry Clayton and Gary Mose. The others are Bud Bloch—Seattle U. (Bloch, Clayton and Greer all played on Western's "city league" jayvees last year), Jack Prince—Grays Harbor J.C., Douglas McLean—Everett J.C. (ineligible until winter), and Jerry Meurs—Olympic J.C. and lately of Uncle Sam. The top freshman prospects are Herman Washington — Stadium, Talis Abolins—Sumner, Mike Kirk—Sequim, Bob Gilda—Meridian, and Dick Abrahamson—Arlington. All but Kirk are strong, rebounding, front court operatives. Kirk is a flashy, sharp shooting guard. "We are in better shape as far as material goes than we have been for many years," Hubbard stated, "but the whole league has improved and there are no pushovers this year."

"They have nearly the same squad as last year, and they have been working together for a couple of years. In this respect they have an advantage over us."

During the Christmas vacation the team will travel to Montana to play in a tournament with Riggs, Carrol, and Northwest Nazarene. with HOWARD DeWITT By HOWARD DE WITT, Collegian Associate Editor Cross-country, an almost unheard of varsity sport, jumps into the limelight toworrow as Western's strong five man squad travels to Central Washington for the national small college district championship meet. Last year's Viking contingent walked away with the team title and Don Trethewey represented the Pacific Northwest in the nationals in the East. Trethewey is back this year, and running fast on his heels is Dave Page. Evergreen Conference 880 Champion. John Winterholler, Bob Carter and Rick Crutchfield make up the remainder of the squad. Carter and Crutchfield have been running the junior two and a half mile distance and Winterholler is a former letterwinner from 1958. Last week at Vancouver Trethewey placed sixth in the Northwest Crosscountry Championships. He beat all Americans except John Temple of Washington State. This makes Don the logical favorite to succeed himself as the districts top Cross-country man. Even a win the district finals does not insure Trethewey a trip to Omaha during Thanksgiving. To be eligible for the national finals in Omaha he will has to run the four mile distance in about 21 minutes. if * * * * * * * * Western's basketball team is busy preparing for their coming season but it seems to be a long hard struggle for Jack Hubbard's troops. The talent laden squad has shown well at times but still has difficulty playing against a zone.. The team speed has not been exceptional and the passing has been atrocious. The general team condition is also a bit lacking but' with another month left until the Evergreen Conference schedule begins the Vikings should be able to round into top playing shape. Ron Crowe and Jim Greer will provide the one-two scoring punch from the inside and Easy Ed Vadset will be the top scoring threat from outside. Dermot Cunningham will play opposite Vadset at guard and serve as the steady hand on offense and defense. The remaining forward position will ;be filled by Herm Washington, Terry Clayton, Ron Saltis or Gary Mose. A survey of coaches and observers in the Evergreen Conference has pin pointed Western as the team to beat in the Evergreen Conference title chase. The question now is, can they do it? * LEN GARGARELLO Scores Twice Thru the Airlanes FOOTBALL Viks Fourth in Conference In the final contest of the season, Western's three game winning streak came to a close as the Viks were unable to overcome a 21-0 third quarter deficit, and bowed to College of Puget Sound 21-14. The game, played at the Tacoma school campus, saw the Loggers dominate play until the final period when the Vikings caught fire and took to the air for two touchdowns.

From then on it was all Western. With both Doug Ringenbach and Steve Hansen at the controls and with Ron Ladines and Len Gargarello supplying the ground power, the Viks moved 70 yards for their first score, with Ringenbach hitting Gargarello for the six pointer. After stopping CPS in their next attempt, Western began a n o t h e r march. They were forced to punt, but then capitalized on a break as Jack Halliday pounced on a Logger fumble on the thirty yard line. Just four plays later, Hansen pitched to Gargarello and the Norsemen had scored again. WESTERN WASHING TON COLLEGIAN However, time had run out and Western ended its season with a 3-5 record. The Viks collected a total of 185 yards in the contest, 99 passing and 86 rushing. Of the rushing yardage, Ladines picked up 49 yards while Gargarello collected 36. Hansen connected on seven of 18 aerials for 76 yards while Ringenbach hit five for 11 for 23 yards. Bob Plotts was the big receiver for the Viks as he caught five passes for 54 yards. Gargarello only snared two but they were both good for touchdowns. Hansen also kept his kicking record intact as he scored both PAT's giving him a total of 12 in 14 attempts.

All too often, college is an escape from the cold cruel world where one has to support oneself. It's easy to let your parents support you for another four years. Have youever heard of the term "Office Hours"? Have you ever raised your hand in class to ask a question; orhave you just sat there and vegetated with the rest of the "totem poles"? You're in college, not highschool. I know it must be a shock to have to do a little individual thinking and working after the easyroutine of high school. And to top it off, you single out the history department. You would have a hardtime finding a group of instructors who would be more interested in working with students individually. Allyou have to do is darken their door and they will be glad to help you fulfill your ambitions. In conclusion, I would suggest that you do something about your "fascination" other than talk about it. Either do thelatter, or take "Underwater Basketweaving" or "Underwater Cheerleading."

ILTON E. TERRY JEWELER 1305 Commercial Street Page 4 WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN November 7, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 5 ---------- By BOB STEVENSON, Collegian Artist, Columnist Beatnik coffee houses are in the news so frequentlylately that they have become a constant curiosity as far north as Bellingham. In an alley off GardenStreet, a few blocks from campus, a group of students were sitting around their small basementapartment, while down a long flight of stairs and outside the door, a sign bathed in blue light callsattention to the place as the Mole Hole. As the story was revealed to this columnist, there came aknock on the door, and when it was answered, there stood a number of high school students. One ofthese dungaree- clad youths stepped up and said, "Hey, Man, do you serve coffee here?" "Coffee?"came the retort, "what do you mean?" "Isn't this an Espresso coffee house?" asked the Youth with anair of indignation. It seems that all of Bellingham High School has been looking for the 'Mole Hole' forsome time now. Someone has been passing the word about a 'coffee house' of this name somewhere inBellingham. This writer can see in the future a Mole Hole making tuition costs for its occupants. Thetalk of change is not too apparent to this columnist as he threads his weary way to and from classes. Of all the modern equipment conceived by man to make man's work lighter, the grounds keepers seemto be in the dark ages. They still pick up leaves with a hand rake when a lawn sweeper would cut theirlabor appreciatively and leave about four men for other tasks about our campus, such as clearing theWater Buffaloes off the 21st street parking lot. For the next problem this writer will lay the blame onthe freshman and transfer students. I can't understand why it is Western's luck to acquire thesesloppy people who call themselves college students and adults. The reason I lay the blame here is this:last year, in our old "Postage Stamp" lounge, it was considered almost a sin to leave a coffee-stainedcup or a catsup-smeared plate on a table that someone would be using next hour. The WorshippersAsked Why . . . In the beginning there was the god. There followed the priests, and after them theworshippers. The College catalog states that class attendance at Western is "compulsory." Westernprofessors will explain this item in one of the following ways: 1. It is necessary to attend class regularlyto benefit from the course. 2. Veterans must attend classes to receive their GI benefits. 3. It is like having someone work for you. If he is one of the many and shows up only once a week with his work done, youdon't notice him much and you don't tend to give him much consideration when everyone else has beenaround all the time. No. 1 is logical in most cases, No. 2 is the law, and No. 3 is a very human andunderstandable explanation. The really frustrating one, however, is No. 4. It goes like this: "You mustattend class because the College catalog says so." This would be fine if the College catalog were notconsidered a sort of holy book, some of the faculty priests, and many students worshippers, because inthis system the priests always refer to the holy book and no questions are expected. I t would be fine,too, if some instructors did not base grades on attendance over work performed—always citing theCollege catalog. Sometimes we wonder. When was the holy book written? Many instructors do notcare if one ever attends class. They tell him they will judge him on his performance. If he thinks he canlearn without benefit of their assistance, they are willing to let him prove it. These are usually the peoplewhose classes it is necessary to attend to learn. Fortunately they are in considerable number, and thereare also many classes where attendance is obviously necessary and the courses and words of theinstructors are too valuable to miss. Unfortunately, there are also a great number of courses extremely uninterestingly presented, poorly organized and good places to sleep. These are often the classes wheregrades are based on attendance, and where the instructor gives answer No. 4. Now, perhaps, this wholediscussion is picayunish and we should all follow the rules and live happily ever after. But we thought wehave seen Western emerging from the cocoon of rules that act as props for poor courses and lazyinstructors, or ones who have never questioned the book. In a community of scholars, or a world of ideas,it seems somewhat of an insult to have rules that are really not necessary, that one can follow throughcommon sense. At any rate, when everything is being considered in the College's new self-evaluation, itmight be interesting to take a look at the holy book. Long ago there may have been a god that fittedthose times, but wouldn't it be something if the priests wondered a little about the passages they're still quoting, and if a worshipper weren't simply shot for asking that horrible question: Why? There is anunivritten law at Western, whether you know it or not, that when a person has a rwb of coffee, he puts itin the tray rack when finished with it. (Conform or I will stab you with my poison pen!) Our Historydepartment, still reeling from the shock of having a student knock the pedestal out from under them, aretrying to build themselves back up by striking out at the freedom of student expression. There is evena student who, altho not a history major, is writing a letter to the Editor showing just how hard sometoes were stepped on. Don't you agree that even if the history department is the so-called best, it couldstand some improvement?

By KEITH ALLEN Shortly afterfour on Monday afternoon a handful of people stood around joking while others arranged chairs andpoured themselves coffee. At precisely 4:18 Dr. James L. Jarrett arrived and was poured a cup ofcoffee. While he sat down and lit a cigarette, the group waiting outside came in hesitantly and seatedthemselves in the SUB Conference Room. Collegian editor Robertson began speaking as moderator and the first student press conference with president James Jarrett was under way. Robertson beganwith questions written by the group beforehand and Dr. Jarrett answered. He first discussed theHonors Program and, as throughout his answers, more or less confirmed the opinion he had expressedin his earlier addresses. He stated that the Honors Program would possibly be in use in less than twoyears at Western. No response was made to a request for questions from the floor. Though most were a little tense at the beginning, those present began to relax as the president answered their querries.Another typically loaded question was asked, and again another. All eyes were on Dr. Jarrett as hepaused, listened to the next question, and went on. Another person silently came in and sat down. If onelistened closely during a pause, he could hear the fan, as it hummed and blew the suspended lights, aswell as the dish-ncise and murmur of those in the coffee shop. 'We Don't Need Chssring Thcrjsands' "Idid say we were not a football college," Jarrett said in answer to a question on athletics. "An addition tothe gym is fine and good, but . . . it is not to take any precedence over academic additions." One couldsense others were starting to relax. "We don't need to win every football game," he went on. "We do notwant or need cheering thousands at our sports events." Robertson continued reading each question."Vocational journalism is not taught because it is not an academic course," came the president's reply to another. "Those going into school newspaper advising may learn the technicalities of the field with thecourses available." Beyond that, he went on, students can attend trade schools. The 23 in attendancestirred as the first question came from them unwritten. Dr. Jarrett stated that the student should do his part in reaching the goals he aims for and not leave it up to the work of his instructors. The 'SimpleMinded' Student The sounds of pens on paper filled the room. The concluding discussion brought outthe improbabilities of a "simple-minded" student receiving a degree at Western. Admissionrequirements were mentioned. At 5:20 Dr. Jarrett mentioned the fact that more and more might beattending these weekly scheduled conferences open to all students, and that perhaps more activediscussion would take place. The first conference was finished and several helped themselves to thecoffee. President Jarrett rose and talked with Robertson. "I didn't notice the time," he said. No one elsehad, either. INTERViW The Governor at 2 a.m. With the clinking of spoons on coffee cups setting thescene, it was almost as unusual as it was unexpected. In the background a 2-star general and a groupof the governor's friends sat discussing policies and politics over a late meal, while Washington State'schief executive himself sat down with a group of Western Washington College students for a spur-of-the- moment interview over a cup of coffee. "I have just finished helping inaugurate a good man forWestern," Governor Albert D. Rosellini told two editors of the Collegian Saturday night as he satdown with them in the dining Signing autographs for students INAUGURAL PROCESSION And then,there was silence room of Bellingham's Royal Cafe. "Dr. Jarrett appears to be a liberal-minded man and I like that because I'm a liberal, too. "What do you students think of the president?" Rosellini asked andwas quickly launched into a discussion of the state, education and politics that lasted over an hour andled to talks with students that took in the whole evening. Should Education Blossom Out? "Thequestion now is v.hether we should allow our colleges of education to blossom out or remain in theirpresent status," the Governor said. "I have appointed a committee that is looking into education fromtop to bottom. We November 7, 1959 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Paqe 7 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 8 ---------- need more and more teachers. If we are going to meet the challenge of the world today, we will have todo it through education, not arms." Originally joining Collegian editors Robertson and Bob Stevenson and three other Western students to answer questions, the Governor's night turned into a meeting withnearly 20 Western students, and covered the whole field of politics. "We have an educational systemthat ranks fifth in the nation; that doesn't mean it shouldn't be improved. One of the things our schoolsystem needs is morev guidance people. We should find out what a student is best suited for and helphim get into that field." Does this mean we should have more quantity of education or more quality? theeditor asked. "Both," Ros-ellini answered, stating that everyone should have the opportunity ofeducation, but that there were people who belong in college and people who do not. "This is whatguidance would find out. I think we should educate all people who are susceptible to education." 'IHave Never Interfered' Asked whether his appointments to college boards of trustees were trying to hiremore liberal arts men for presidencies of education colleges, he said he did not know this was actuallyso. "I have appointed men to all five institutions, however, and I have never interfered with theirappointments. I don't expect to." On the question of federal aid Ros-ellini was emphatic. "We need all we can get and it must come with local control maintained. We are going to have federal aid if we are going to meet the challenges of education today." With questions soon being fired from numbers ofstudents who joined the Collegian delegation the governor gave his ideas on other issues: "Foreignlanguages are very important in our curricula. They are the only real way for us to know other people of the world, their problems, cultures and ideas. I am very much in favor of expansion of languageprograms in our schools," he told Gerhard Langer, president of Western's German club. "TheSeattle Times has very good reason to try and see that I am politically destroyed by creating anissue over the state liquor board. But you will soon see affidavits and statements to show why theTimes is carrying on such a crusade," he told a political science major. A Completely New PolicyGranting the Collegian a final question before leaving Bellingham, the governor answered by announcing a "completely new policy." "Next session you will see, for the first time in the history of the state ofWashington, a governor presenting a budget message to the Legislature . . . I will have my ownbudgetary commission and requests for money will have a complete analysis and hearing. I don't knowspecifically what I can do about your college's request for funds for more library facilities. Of course,Western is not the only college in the state asking for money." Still, what of the fate of the Westernlibrary? "All we can do is take a good look at it and see what we can do. But I believe it is theresponsibility of a governor to look such things over and recommend. I will make a recommendation. Itwas 2 a.m. before Rosellini finished. 'I've Been Worked Over Before' It was a new look at a state official who sat down with students and talked openly, though it was obvious that no earth - shakingannouncements were made and the governor knew how to gather votes. After Rosellini was asked by ayoung Republican to sign a cocktail napkin so he could remember the time and place the end of theconference set the highlight. "May you quote me on everything? Certainly. I've been worked over bynewspapers before." It was almost as startling as being thrown out of the Faculty Council. H®N©RSPR96RAM The Severest Taskmaster The possession of a superior intellect carries with it the duty to put it to use as much as possible, according to Western's associate professor of economics Erwin S.Mayer. For this reason Western Washington is working on forming an Honors program dedicated to thesuperior student. "We are determined to be in the forefront in this state in forming an Honors program,"Dr. Mayer stated as head of the Honors program committee. He went on to say that too many of thehighly capable students find nothing challenging in their regular courses and thus fail to do the work."For these students the work is easy and they goof off if they're not challenged." Honors programs areinstituted to meet the special needs and develop the special gifts of intelligent students. Those selectedfor the program, expected to be in operation at the freshman level next spring, will be given certainprivileges and be obliged to accept other responsibilities. When they are allowed to by-pass the easier courses which they would coast through, they will have to work that much harder in the courses they do take. They will be allowed to avoid many of the themes, quizzes and term papers that seem to hinderthem and in turn be expected to work independently and become, as the committee states, "their own severest taskmasters." It has been found that these systems provide a tremendous stimulus forfaculty as well as the entire student body, along with the Honors students. "There are excitingpossibilities here," Dr. Mayer concluded, "We look forward with great interest to seeing our program,which is largely in the planning stage, get under way." INAUGURATION 'We Need a Lusty Vice' ByKAREN BAINTER "The devil's cloud has a toadstool shape and what he may carry away is not a singleperson, nor a single community, but an entire race . . ." A. Earle Birney, Professor of Eng. lish at theUniversity of British Columbia injected this sobering thought into an audience of students, townspeople, and faculty during a seminar on humanities last Thursday. It was only one of many sobering butsometimes too true, and horrifyingly real, thoughts and ideas versed during the three inaugural sessions. One result of the humanities seminar, "The Changing Face of Hubris," was the introduction of Hubrisinto the vocabulary of many in the audience who hadn't heard of the word before. Hubris is a wordpilfered from the Greeks and denotes a scornful pride or an insolent disregard of moral laws andrestraint. Tracing the origins of Hubris in Greek drama, the first speaker, Thomas Rosenmeyer,Associate Processor of Classics at the University of Washington, then delved into man's recurringhabits of competing with God and interpreting God in ways that further selfish causes. The beginnings ofman's belief in infinite powers that started with the caveman's doodlings on his cave wal!s and evolvedalong with our hubristic pride to modern day human concepts of God, was one of the chains of thought in the lecture of Herbert Muller, Professor of English and Government at Indiana University. Page 8WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN November 7, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 9 ---------- Muller, who doesn't like the word "reacts" because it reminds him of the twitching of frog's legs, definedthe face of Hubris as "an automobile with fins." He compared our civilization, which moralists rant andrave about, with the mass corruption, cruelty, and barbarism of the middle ages and said, "Nowadayswe look tame . . . we need a good honest lusty vice." He talked of the peasant masses who've toiled allthrough history, he discussed conformism, then conjured up and tore down an image of a brave newworld of the future. Speaking next, U.B.C.'s Dr. Birney took the podium and warned, "The evidence of the past is that civilization falls . . . ancient prides must go or ancient furies will consume . . . democracyis best for developing creativity . . . but there are democracies and there are democracies and not even the best is worth saving at the cost of the human race." He talked earnestly of the hopelessness ofIndia, where every victory is a defeat, and which can only be saved by the concentrated efforts of all themajor countries of the world. Talking of prejudices, and the failure of the nations of the world to educatetheir young in unity, Birney climaxed the session by putting us in the role of Pandora trying to get the lid back onto the box. "There is no safe dose of radiation." Grayhaired and serious, A. H. Sturte-vant,professor of Genetics, at the California Institute of Technology talked slowly as his presentation opened Thursday night's science seminar. He said we are all exposed to some radiation through elements inthe soil, cosmic rays, medical X-rays, and fallout which doesn't do much harm. But the after-effects ofexcessive radiation can range from malignant growths in the person concerned, to mutations in thedecendants of the affected. Speaking next, Frederick Thieme, the Provost at the University ofWashington, went into the need for new methods to solve the unanswered questions of man's origin."We are as we are, because of what we were," Thieme declared, then discussed a variety of topicsfrom prehistoric blue-green algae, to bone residues, to the use of radioactivity in determining theage of fossils. Discussion of the changes which must take place in education during the next 10 yearswas the format of the final session "Education 1975." One obviously bitter educator, stressing theneed for revised state taxes, denounced the Washington tax structure as such: "The most fiendish tax system that could be devised couldn't match the state of Washington." They looked back over thiscountry's educational changes and prophesied 'Nowadays We Look Tame A. H. STURTEVANT H. J.MULLER Here discussing "Education in 1975" is T. R. McConnell, University of California, Louis Bruno,Pullman, Washington Superintendent of schools, J. Alan Ross, Western Washington College, andPaul D. Woodring, Western Psychology Professor on leave to the Ford Foundation. A. Earl Birney of the University of British Columbia is shewn after he discussed "The New Hubris" in the Humanities Session"The Changing Face of Hubris." November 7, 1959 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 9 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 10 ---------- on the future. Along with the usual forecast of special classes for the gifted, advanced by ability not age,and the improvement of wider use of educational T.V. came the idea of "team" teaching. A "team" wouldbe responsible for 100 or so students in a broad field and would consist of one master teacher, one ortwo other fully certified teachers, an intern teacher, and a couple of skilled community members.Talking on the subject of public schools was Louis Bruno, Superintendent of Schools in Pullman,Washington, while the American school system as a whole was handled by Paul Wood-ring ofWestern who is on leave to the Ford Foundation. College education was discussed by T. R. McConnell,from the University of California, who stressed the need for a greater variety in types of colleges to fitthe types of students so as much time won't be wasted on subjects students don't need for their ownindividual educations. Then there was silence. The auditorium was quiet and empty again until theinauguration which unfolded that afternoon, and the thoughts left behind v/ere digested and afcsorbed bythose who had the facilities to digest them. BOESE CONCERT Dull and Without Life By STACYTUCKER Somewhat of a task lies ahead of an organist who is to perform upon a strange organ. Theorgan has not reached the degree of standardization that other instruments such as the piano haveattained and while all organs conform to certain general specifications, they also differ considerably, one from the other. For this reason, most organists will not even attempt to give a concert before anaudience until they have been at least an hour in acquainting themselves with the specific instrumentupon which they are to perform. Considering these facts, however, this reviewer still does not findreason enough to excuse the mediocre quality of last week's organ recital by Raymond Boese. Hislecture "demonstration" at ten o'clock was without life and was found dull even by some music majors.He read the bulk of his talk in a mechanical manner which did not add to its already research paperquality. The reception was cancelled, thus giving no opportunity to talk with Boese. The performancewas good in spots and passable on the whole. This reviewer has not, however, heard positivecomments on it by anyone to speak of, music majors included. (Not that any remarks by musicmajors would tend to altar the content of this criticism. STUDENT UNION Dedication Set . . . UnionBoard Chairman Jack Ra-bourn has informed the Collegian that November 30 to December 6, will be setaside for dedication of the Student Union Building. Bob Poldervart, member of the Union Board, ischairman of the week's events. The initial event will be a reception in which the many potential uses ofthe building will be unfolded before a limited invited audience. Later in the week the lounge area will bededicated, an open house for the students will culminate the week's events on December 6. TheBoard plans to have art exhibits, recitals, and cofee hours in the building in the near future. Achildren's art exhibit will be held in November, according to Rabourn. RAYMOND BOESE, ORGANISTThe bulk of his talk in a mechanical manner WILD DUCK Through a Skylight . . . Daylight, dawn,dusk—the hours of the sun will be portrayed through a skylight. Angling over the stage during thecoming production of Ibsen's Wild Duck, will be something new on Western's stage; a skylight designedby technical director, Mark Flanders. Using antique furniture and combining his staging efforts withTom Aston, assistant technical director and Sue Weidman, light operator, Flanders hopes to create arealistic atmosphere for the soon-to-be-produced play. Also aiming at authenticity are the twostudents who are taking over the costume department. Betty Sue Ritchie, a senior business educationmajor, and Carol Erchinger, a junior majoring in home economics and minoring in art, have redesignedten women's costumes for the play and are now engaged in the actual sewing of them. The girls found agoldmine of dresses and furniturs in a closet belonging to Miss Erchinger's grandmother, the late Mrs.Margaret Grant of Bellingham, and a number of these articles have been donated for use in theproduction. As the various departments organize and work, plans for the "Wild Duck" take shape.Costumes, staging, lighting; these are all part of production preliminaries underway as once again allthe strings are being tied to a swift schedule for the production of another Western drama presentation.Page 10 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN November 7, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 11 ---------- ASB PRESIDENCY Success and Rock Hunter By LIZ SUNDSTROM You elected him—now what?Last week 426 Western students swayed by the argument, "Experience is the best teacher" supported Bob Gustavson for the ASB presidency. What can these students expect from his administration?What has experience taught Bob Gustavson? Questioned about his plans for this year, Gustavsonreadily discussed several projects he has in mind. "We are operating on a delcit budget at thepresent time, due to the overspending of several departments." (See Collegian, October 23, 1959.) Inhopes of curtailing unnecessary extravagance, Gustavson plans to scrutinize carefully all ASBexpenditures. Although this action probably won't solve the problem immediately, it should reduce costsgreatly. Gustavson also intends to revise the present administrative system to supply a more uniformprogram for student government. In the past, each new administration has brought abrupt changesin policy. As a result, incompleted projects have been dropped, and good ideas abandoned.Gustavson feels that these s u d d en changes are a waste of the student-body's time, money, andenergies. To increase operational efficiency, he will keep thorough records of all student body activities.Gustavson plans to set up a conduct calendar advising students on proper behavior and apparel forvarious occasions. Many students attend school events dressed inappropriately and seem oblivious to the use of common courtesy at functions such as the A-L assemblies, he said. His primary goal for theyear is to make student government an increasingly "interesting, worthwhile, and rewardingexperience for students." Hoping to encourage more student participation and to dispel the feeling of"complacency and lack of interest which many students have toward school activities," BobGustavson, former acting chairman, now enthroned with an official gavel, set out on the path toshowing whether success would be spoiled by Rock Hunter. In a new twist Rock Hunter would be thestudent body. BOB GUSTAVSON Elected — Now What? LEGISLATURE 'Buttons' a Strong Fourth At the lengthy meeting of the Legislature held last Wednesday in the Coffee Shop, it was the final orderof business that highlighted the meeting. A proposal was brought before the board for Finance Chairman Jerry Baker and Dr. Byron Haglund, professor of economics, to conduct research on the budgets ofpast years in order to discover present trends. It was suggested that said research could result in saving the school ten to 15 thousand dollars per year from its annual budget. It was moved that they do so.With Bob Gustavson officially seated it was time for permanent cabinet positions to be filled. Gustavsonpresented the names of Don Bevis, Norma Rice and Karen Brumstrom as possibilities for theJudicial Board. After discussion they were accepted. Miss Sharon Belchschmidt (is that right Sharon?)was suggested by the president for Opinion Board Chairman. Before her acceptance, Robinson madea motion that in the future ALL candidates MUST come to the meeting or send an informative letter to the Legislature describing their qualifications. Elections Chairman Roc Caldwell reported on the ASBpresidential election. Ballet totals were Gustavson— 436 votes, "Doc" Moody—213, DonAlder—114, and "Buttons" a strong fourth with 41 votes. Seven other ballots were cast for suchfavorite sons as Al red E. Neuman and Al Jung. Ray Knabe presented his report on leftover facilities from the old Lounge. After he listed the items, it was suggested the Union Board Chairman Jack Rabournlook over the list and pick out what could be used. Rabourn suggested that remaining chesterfields and chairs could be used at the Lakewood property. Rabourn also asked for and received $585 to purchasea Wurlitzer piano to be used in the music lounge of the building. He also announced that $421.73remained from the summer budget. Dr. Murray moved that the sum be reverted to budget control.Collegian Editor Robertson made his report on Collegian finances. According to his figures themagazine is within its budget. Clayton Hood, who played his last football game in 1954, has finally teenawarded his blanket. COFFEE HOUR Prelude to Wild Duck "The most challenging of Ibsen'sdramas"—these were the words with which Dr. William Gregory, director, referred to the forthcomingproduction of The Wild Duck. This statement may be a topic of controversy November 12 as theStudent Union conference room is once again opened to a distinguished visitor, Professor SverreArestad, a former Western student, now head of the department of Scandinavian Language andLiterature at the University of Washington, who will give a brie? analysis of the play and then answerquestions and act as discussion moderator. The meeting will be held at 3 p.m. and is open to students,faculty and townspeople. Dr. Arestad, a nationally recognized authority in his field, is the first speakerever presented here as the prelude to a production, but according to Dr. Gregory "we hope to make thisa general practice if at all possible." He strongly urged the attendance of all those interested in thedrama and went on to express this opinion of the play: "a combination of comedy, sometimes borderingon slapstick, and stark tragedy.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the annual celebration is the football game. The exuberant and intoxicatingatmosphere of the crowd is tremendous every Homecoming but this year's game may prove thrillingenough to make the high spirited majority throw their flasks away. Central Washington, currently tied forthe Evergreen Conference number one spot, provides the opposition this afternoon for the fast risingVikings. Victorious in its last two games, Western is all set to knock the Wildcats off their lofty perch. In comparing the conference records of the two clubs Central would rate as the favorites. But Central'srecord is deceiving since they have dropped three non-conference games to give them a total of three wins and four losses. The Vikings' solid forward wall has been the main reason the opposition has scored only thirteen points in the last three games. Outweighed by at least thirty pounds per man, Westernoutcharged and outplayed UBC last week while the week before they stopped Pacific Lutheran almostcompletely. Offensively there has been 100% improvement in the last two games. The biggestimprovement has been in the passing game, shown by Doug Ringenbach and Steve Hansen's combinedtotal of 185 yards against UBC. In the rushing department Ron Ladines and Sam Martin have carried theball for 283 and 201 yards respectively this season. Len Gargarello is the top pass receiver with fivecatches for 141 yards. Ladines leads the scorers with 24 points followed by Hansen with 13. A bigsurprise for the Vikings in their last two games has been the tremendous play of freshman halfbackJack Halliday. Against Pacific Lutheran. Halliday intercepted two passes and in last week's UBC game he picked off three Thunderbird aerials setting up one Western touchdown. With the tremendous spirit, builtup around Homecoming, the Vikings will have no trouble being up for this game and the final score shouldread WESTERN 27, CENTRAL 6. SHORTS ON SPORTS . . .

Page 14 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN November 7, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 15 ---------- FOOTBALL Vikings Come of Age By JOHN GREER The Vikings have come of age. Showing theirmost potent offensive display of the season, Western's vastly improved eleven roared to a 20-3 victoryover UBC's highly rated Thunderbirds last Saturday on the Canadian campus. The Viks collectednearly 350 yards on total offense and had at least 100 more called back on penalties. To top things offthey intercepted six Thunderbird aerials. Steve Hansen and Doug Ringenbach led the Western attackwith 131 and 114 yards respectively. Hansen collected 96 by passing and 35 on the ground whileRingenbach threw for 89 and gained 25 running. Ron La-dines remained as the Viks' top scorer as headded two touchdowns to his total. He got one on a 25 yard pass from Hansen and the other on a oneyard plunge. Len Gargarello scored the other six pointer on a 40 yard toss from Ringenbach. Westerntook the opening kickoff and marched 68 yards for their first score. The big play of the series was the 15-yard Ringenbach to Gargarello pass play that put the Viks on the UBC 25. Ladines got the score fromthe one, but Hansen missed his first kick of the season, leaving the Norsemen ahead 6-0. After anexchange of punts, Western drove to its second touchdown. With UBC on the Viking 26, Jack Hallidaypicked off a T-bird pass and returned it to the Thunderbird 40. It took just one play from there asRingenbach hit Gargarello for the score and Hansen added the PAT. In the third quarter, tackle FredKnapp recovered a UBC bobble on the Western 43 and the Viks rambled 57 yards for their third score.Hansen hit Ladines behind a screen and the big fullback drove into the end zone from the 25. Hansenagain added the PAT to close out the Vikings' scoring. The Thunderbirds' only points came in thesecond quarter when they picked up a 22 yard field goal. Bay and Champion RE 3-2610 WESTERNPLAYER a potent offensive display CO-CAPTAINS Hard Men to Replace Seniors Sam- Martin, JackSim, Ned Olson and Bill Burby have been named co-captains of the 1959 Western Washingtonfootball team. The first three all are four year lettermen, and Burby was a transfer who has lettered thepast two seasons. Martin has played right halfback in all of Coach John Kulbitski's four years atWestern. "Sam has been an outstanding ball carrier, pass receiver, and defensive halfback," stated Kul-bitski. "He'll be a hard man to replace." Martin, from Auburn, has also excelled in other sports atWestern. He has been one of the mainstays of Ray Ciszek's track squad the past three years—he runs the high hurdles, low hurdles, the relay, broad jumps, high jumps, and throws the javelin. In hisfreshman and sophomore years, Martin, who stands 6'2" and weighs 180, was on the varsity basketballsquad. His athletic prowess was recognized last spring when he was voted by the students "Athlete ofthe Year." Like Martin, Sim, a rugged 6'2", 210 lbs., has been a regular under Kulbit-ski for four seasons. Not only does the Victoria athlete stand out as an offensive center, but he is feared by opposingteams for his linebacking ability. Sim, like Martin, has been named honorable mention all-conferencethe past two seasons. Last year the players elected easy-going Jack the "Most Inspirational Player."Olson, who hails from Spokane, has put in a lot of time the past four seasons as one of Kulbitski's finest tackles. "Ollie," who stands 5'11" and scales 200 pounds, loves to open holes in the offensive line for the Viking backs. He has proven his versatility by also playing center when needed. (Ned was offensivecenter for the first game last season when Sim was out with leg boils.). Burby, whose home is in Butte,Montana, is the only single man among the four co-captains. Bill was merely a reserve end at the start of last season, but his hustle and determination soon found him a position as starting offensive guard.Burby, who is 510" and 185, has been one of the outstanding lineman in the Evergreen Conference thisyear not only on offense, but also on defense.

Holly MUN "No Right to Speak" Theaudience was surprised and shocked. A strange delegate made his way to the platform and declared that the Chinese delegate had no right to speak on behalf of the people of China since she was not from Red China. Several stern raps of the gavel ended the dissolution of order and the Chinese delegatecontinued. After suspension of the assembly, caucus sessions and block meetings carried on into thenight, as 800 students from Western colleges and universities attempted to bring "the U.N. intoimmediate and intimate association with young adults attending colleges and universities." As JordanWould The University of California at Berkely was the scene. Delegates included seven students fromWestern who took the role of Jordan in the Model United Nations. The biggest task for Westeners KarenPortin, Mary Aitchison, Bill Treadwell, S h e r ry Brown, Judy Runnels, Louella Vaughn and MinaGhattas (Western student from Lebanon) was attempting to vote as Jordan would, not as they personally would. "I feel they did a creditable job in casting aside personal feelings," Bill Treadwell, chairman ofWestern's delegation, said. He went on to explain that the MUN delegation has been working for twomonths to raise funds for the trip and that they are now formulating plans for a high school MUN, in which WWC students could be both participants and observers. That's a plan. Work will soon begin on themore definite object. Funds will still have to be obtained for next year's trip, when the rap of the gavelwill be sounding in Oregon. VISITATION DAY An Honest Look It's spring again and high school seniors the nation over are beginning to plan for next year, when they will enter college. There are tests andschedules and conferences among which are the traditional visits to campuses of their choice.Western is participating in the orientation program in the form of Senior Visitation Day scheduled forApril 30. All high school seniors who met with Western representatives earlier this year have beeninvited to give the campus a once-over and will have an opportunity to meet with students previouslygraduated BILL TREADWELL A Creditable Job from their own high schools, and to confer withcouncilors and faculty about enrollment, housing and other matters of interest. Another event currentlybeing planned by Mr. William O'Neil and Dr. Bearnice Skeen is Career Day, which will be the 13thsuch event held on the campus. Three hundred high school juniors selected by their faculties on thebasis of grades, personality and activities will come to Western to observe classes in the campusschool, participate in a question and answer session and tour the campus. They will also visitregular college classes and attend an afternoon assembly. The purpose of Career Day is to get some ofthe outstanding students interested in teaching. "We want these people to take an honest and seriouslook at the teaching profession," said O'Neil. He expressed the opinion that in the past, both seniorvisitation and Career Days have been successful. He hopes there will be as much enthusiasm this year.UNION BOARD Mental Health Emphasized Western's Union got its first real work out this past weekwith the World Travel Week program and the speech tournament filling almost every area with displaysand action. World Travel Week featured lectures, pictures, moviss and posters from the severalcountries to be invaded by Westeners this summer when two members of Western's faculty. MissRamsland and Miss Kelsey, tour Europe and Mexico respectively. The project sponsored by the UnionBoard was to Page 2 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN April 15, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 15 - Page 3 ---------- acquaint students with the tours that are featured each summer in many of the colleges and universitiesin the world. During the first week in May, mental Health will be emphasized, featuring the need fora better understanding of Mental Health and its relation to the public, especially the future teacher. Dr. Fred Debruler, faculty adviser for the Union Board and a director of the Bellingham Mental HealthAssociation has called this, "one of the most important problems facing the'' public today." ToDemonstrate Ability The middle of May will be devoted to the furthering of fine arts on Western'scampus with the cooperation of the several arts departments. Dramatic productions, music recitals,choral concerts, the water show and other events have been planned during this time in an attempt todemonstrate the abilities and talents of Western students. Bob Studebaker, music chairman of theBoard, is head of the committee coordinating the festival. AWS TOLO Dreaming Again . . . With theapproach of pony tails, print dresses, sport shirts, and thongs, it's obvious that spring has flowered. With such surroundings, poets have written and women have dreamed. Maybe they're dreaming again, but itseems appropriate that the annual AWS spring tolo is to be called "April Love." The dance is planned for Friday, April 22 in the Viking Union from 9 to 12 midnight. Music will be provided by the College DanceBand and the "April Love" theme will be carried out with varying shades of lavendar and spring flowers.Apparel for the dance will be dressy cottons for the girls and suits for the boys. Corsages will be in order. Co-chairmen Alice Bates and Judy Solschied have promised "a wonderful time." Tickets will go on saleMonday, April 18 on the landing of Old Main at $1.75 per couple. There are 275 tickets available on afirst-come, first-served basis. PI KAPPA DELTA Cold Weekend With Words It was a cold weekend with words for Western debaters last week as they managed to place in only one event in the Pi KappaDelta Provincial Speech Tournament. Marshall Bronson placed second in the field of ExtemporaneousSpeaking, as he delivered the arguments of Colonialism versus Nationalism in Africa. At somewhat cf adisadvantage over the other candidates, he learned of his topic only twenty-four hours before thedebate, he said. Ivy dressing Bronson placed second in the United States in Junior College debate lastyear. He also earned fourth and seventh places for the Palmer, California school he attended. Linfield, an Oregon school, completely ran away with the meet as they scored 26 points. Their nearest rivals,Idaho State and Portland State, were second with a scant seven points. MARSHALL BRONSON AnExtem-poraneous Second Dr. Paul Herbold, Governor of the Province, was pleased with the overallresults of the tournament. Pi Kappa Delta, a national speech honorary, is the largest forensics honoraryin the country. The only failure was the lack of fluency of the home town orators. The Westernaggregate scored a measly two points.

Gary Gerhard, Doug Simpson, Leo Dodd, Bob Brown, and Barnhart havespent many late evenings painstakingly working-over a two year accumulation of out-dated bylaws.The Legislature will give its final approval to the revisions at their next meeting, April 13. Gary Gerhard,chairman of the Student Activity-Conference scheduled for May 21, reported that the DanforthFoundation may contribute $150 to finance the meeting. The conference at Lakewood will feature aguest speaker who will discuss the question, "How can campus organizations provide a medium for theexpression of intellectual interests and enhance the atmosphere of Western's academic life?"Gerhard stated that he hopes the conference will eventually become an annual two-day eventexamining the "academic, religious, and cultural aspects of college." The Legislature has appointedLeo Dodd, senior class president and former Legislator, to serve on the three-man Judicial Board.Jerry Baker suggested that a committee be set up to determine the purpose and functions of thevarious ASB offices and organizations. President Gustavson appointed Nina Ayers chairman to workwith Baker and Larry Ernst. Baker said that the committee's work would be useful to the Legislaturewhen it begins work on next year's budget. Application for the positions of Collegian Editor andBusiness Manager and Klipsun Editor for next year will be discussed at the Legislature meeting, April13. Approved by My Husband Karen M. Smith wrote a letter to the group accusing the Collegian ofchanging the captions of cartoons drawn several years ago by her husband, Douglas Smith, withouthis permission. She said that although the cartoons are the property of the college the captions maynot be changed unless approved by her husband. President Gustavson told the group that hebelieved that the Collegian staff had been unaware of the agreement the Smiths made with the collegeand promised to talk with Collegian Advisor Hansen and Editor DeWitt. President Gustavson announcedthat Western's delegates for the ECSA Student Leadership Conference to be held in Ellensburg onApril 28-29, will be selected at the next meeting. The representatives will have the opportunity toattend seminars on the philosophy of student government, budget planning, etc., and to discussadministrative problems with delegates from other colleges. (Ed's Note: Former Collegian Editor KenRobertson, who edited the Collegian when Smith's cartoons were originally used told the Collegianthat no agreement was ever made verbally or in writing concerning captions or future use of cartoons. If an understanding existed, he was not aware of it, or that it applied to the future. Cartoons weremerely accepted and published, becoming the property of the Collegian. He suggested the mistakelay in leaving the Smith name on the cartoons.) KLIPSUN More Than a Book Of Mug Shots "The sleekcontemporary lines of the new Viking Union Building completed this year, symbolize a newprogressive atmosphere at Western, both in the concrete and in the abstract," says Stacy Tucker,Editor of the Klipsun. Western's 1960 annual will follow this modern trend stressing the theme "NewForms." Terry Draf's contemporary cover design in orange, moss green, and chocolate brown effectively introduces the annual's theme, and will not only provide memories for the student body and facultybut will also serve as an attractive advertisement for Western. Tucker believes that the collegeyearbook should be more than a "book of mug shots or a sentimentally constructed album full ofpictures of old friends." It should be an "accurate record of the year's events, attractive andunderstandable to Western students and to others unconnected with the campus." Tucker and hisassistant editor, Gary Reul, undertook planning the K yearbook in the middle of winter quarter whenDennis Wakkuri, the former Klipsun Editor, left Bellingham and went to New Mexico because of poorhealth. Unprepared and understaffed with no regular contributors writing for the annual, Tucker took a new ap- STACY TUCKER "Sleek Contemporary Lines" proach to assembling the Klipsun.

CHOIR CONCERT Most ImpressiveEfforts By STACY TUCKER / / one thing stood foremost in the minds of the audience at the April 8thChoric Concert, it was the artistry of Rodney Mercado as he performed Bach's Fugue from Sonata in GMinor on the violin. The versatility of the violin was effectively demonstrated in Mercado'sinterpretation of this selection. The Christus Factus Est by Anton Brukner and the round of five lovesongs by Brahms were, in this writer's opinion, the most impressive efforts of the choir. One sensed anawareness of the meaning of the words on the part of the choir in the Christus Factus Est. They wereable to convey this meaning, or perhaps feeling, to the audience: "and being found in human form Hebecame obedient unto death, even death upon the cross. Therefore, God has highly exalted Him. A name to Him was given which is higher than all names, yea, much higher than all names." In the sequence of love songs by Brahms the Concert Chorale demonstrated its artistry and versatility of mood. Thesewere exquisite little offerings that were a highlight of the evening. Page 4 WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN April 15, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 15 - Page 5 ---------- It seems that choral directors will always throw in a few nice little gems like Annie Laurie, and Nellie Bly,and Ezekiel Saw de Wheel, for the benefit of a certain segment of the public. These are usually fine little arrangements but Nellie Bly and the like are still there with their trite words. This is a personal feeling, but it would be so nice to have a program entirely consisting of the classics . . . it would be refreshingand appreciated. At any rate it would be worth a try! Something To Be Desired As for Larry Marsh'ssolos, he demonstrated a knowledge of music from the technical standpoint. His Italian in O tuPalermo, terra adorata was excellent. His interpretations, however, left something to be desired as didhis vocal techniques. The exclamation, O thou Palermo adored Land (author's translation), came veryshort of the spirit of the entire opera (The Sicilian Vespers). For the most part, however, the writerrespects Mr. Marsh's musical background. Outside of the above criticisms the concert was excellent,and outstanding in part. It showed a great deal of work and synchronization both on the part of Regierand the choir. A L From Realism to Abstract "An Introduction to Contemporary Painting," was thesubject presented by artist and lecturer, Harriet Fitzgerald at an A L series lecture last Tuesday.Miss Fitzgerald, a noted painter herself, seemed well qualified to speak on the subject. Using many wellchosen slides of paintings as illustrations, she pointed out the changes in the viewpoint on art from the19th Century to the 20th Century, and the reasons for these changes. The shift from realism to abstractin which line, color, space relationships, pattern shapes, texture, and value are emphasized, was greatly influenced by the scientific advances in the 19th Century. This caused painters to seek a new way ofexpression rather than to "compete with photography." Recognized in Paris Such painters asCezanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Seurat were among the first to reflect these changes in their work.The succeeding generation of painters adopted these practices as an answer to their needs forexpression, and our "modern art" became well established. It was first recognized in Paris, then the artcenter of the world, in the early 20th Century, and is recognized today throughout the world. The lecturewas well received by the audience. Miss Plympton, head of the Art Dept., commented that theinterpretation was "very meaningful, and expressed the problems of the modern artists and theirresponse." AWS ELECTION Engelson Heads List By CAROLYN NEWTON Heading the slate of nextyear's AWS officers is Lynne Engelson, a Seattle sophomore, who defeated Kathy Larson in thepresidential race. Lynn, who was student body vice president in high school, was on the. ASB publicrelations committee here and nominated for Homecoming princess in her Freshman year "I wish I could thank the girls for electing me, and I will try to serve them in the best way I can" was Lynn's reply whentold of her election. Lynn will receive the gavel from Karen Laulainen. Sylvia Aldrich, vice-president elect, will succeed Brenda Lindsley and defeated JoAnn Menghini, a transfer student from Longview, in aclose race. Last year's Pep Board chairman, Sylvia currently holds the positions of Collegian business manager, AWS social chairman, House president of Elkins, and is a member of Blue Barnacles.Secretary-elect Bonnie Baker, a Freshman from Everett, was Girls Club President at Everett High. Thisyear she has served on the IAWS committee and the ASB election board, and was secretary of the AWS lounge committee. Bonnie, who will succeed Karen Brunstrom, defeated Ardith Doty. A BellinghamFreshman, Joan Kul-bitski, who succeeds Marilyn Jensen, became the new treasurer by defeating GailBiladeau. This year Joan is a member of the AWS Frosh council and the secretary of the standardscommittee. She also was the chairman of the AWS Christmas caroling and worked on both of thisyear's plays.

He would surely prove his point. In a symposium entitled, "Are We Growing Soft?" Arthur M.Schlesinger, Sr., Harvard historian; Reinhold Nie buhr, author of The Structure of Nations and Empires; the Reverend Thurston N. Davis, editor of America Magazine; and Harry Golden, author of Only inAmerica, concluded that we are soft and gave some conclusions as to why and what to do about it.Schlesinger offered nothing new and Neibuhr appeared to have hardly tried. All four cited materialism and payola as symptoms of the softness of American society, but the comments of Davis and Goldenoffered a little perception into why we are soft and how we can do something about it before thebarbarians decide to migrate across the Bering Sea. Schlesinger was optimistic and offered acyclical theory of history as proof that all will end well. Standard theories are nice, but so arematerialism and payola, and probably even the village idiot himself can see that the inhabitants of thehamlet around him may be enjoying payola, but that as the days go by the enjoyment looks less andless like enjoyment. Davis and Golden suggest that as the ritual of American society becomes morecomplex it becomes more and more necessary to believe it is en joy able, even if it leaves something tobe desired. The purpose of the ritual becomes lost somewhere, but to perpetuate the motion, whichbecomes hypnotic, new dancers are thrown in constantly as old ones wear out. Rush to SeekPsychiatrists Some refuse to join the dance and some of those who fall out exhausted wonder why thething goes on. To be more specific, questions arise. Why do students rush through four years of collegeand hope when they get out they will someday have time to think about some things? Why do people sit and talk into the wee hours of morning, then rush out to ask psychiatrists to find a soul for them since they can find no meaning in their talk or themselves? Why do Americans rush to the polls to approvesmiles and slogans and weep when that's what Washington, D. C. sends them and the world in return?American society looks to some like one extended 70-year ritual of rush to acquire things and moneyand then at the end comes the question "why?" when it's too late to wonder. To some who do wonderthe whole thing looks like a great sea of disenchantment where the passengers get on a luxury liner,become involved in deck games, never notice the water, and wonder just before they reach port, where itwas they were destined. Thurston Davis says America has lost the Big Idea. "It is no longerpermissible to raise any of the Big Questions men have always asked about the Big Idea." What isthe nature of man? Where does he rank in the order of being, if there is such an order? Is the nature ofman spiritual in a unique sense? What can man know? What is meant by freedom, justice, law, order,authority, power, peace, virtue, sin, morality, religion? The American ritual revolves around thesequestions and words, but times change and only their shells remain. The ritual goes on, and he who as^s "why?" finds himself thrown into a morass of contusion. Where am I? No one can answer; the ritual istoo demanding. But many stand outside the ritual these days, many have fallen out with neuroses and psychoses. Many lean away from the maypole and look, and ask horrifiedly, "what mad dance is this?"And to the north, east, west and south, barbarians prepare to capture the dancers' rich city, knowingthe defenders are soft, drunk and purposeless. They live only for today and the sensual satisfactions of today's festival. Live for Tomorrow "The civilization that perpetuates itself is the one that lives fortomorrow. If we beat the game by playing for the present, it will be the first time anyone has done so,"Harry Golden warns. We might ask Mr. Golden why we even feel compelled to live for tomorrow. Whatreason is there? To pes-petuate materialism, to justify payola, to try out a new ritual? Perhaps theseshould be some of the Big Questions now, too. The point is, however, that if we are going to askanything we must take time out from the ritual to do it. Perhaps we should look at the sea of softnessaround us and ask where the luxury cruise will end. What purpose do we have? Why should we stopthe ritual? In a book that is probably obscure to many Americans because it is an epic poem, and epicpoems are taxing to the mind, a modern man has given an answer in an ancient setting. In the poem,"The Odyssey, a Modern Sequel," Nikos Kazantzakis defines two views of life, which could becompared to two great American ideal conflicts, in those days when we had ideas. They are theDionysian, the life of "joy in motion, ecstatic motion" . . . the life of . . . "song and dance and music."This Page 6 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN April 15, I960' ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 15 - Page 7 ---------- is opposed to the Apollonian, the life of "aesthetic emotion and intellectual contemplation, of logical order and philosophical calm." Kazantzakis suggests that the purpose of man is to live both, to move fromone into the other until he stands at an abyss between the two and finds he must then rise above themby means of his own unique spirit, to combine them both in a new synthesis, himself. The answer ishardly so scant or simple, but it points to the fact that some men are offering answers today but theycannot break into the ritual long enough to be heard; that because we do not wonder and remain soft,America may be one of the tragedies of history, or much less, one o? the sordid failures. Are wegetting soft? Why? And is this a question for a college student, who must hurry along so he can take his place around the maypole? Maybe these should be included as Big Questions. It seems that only the individual man is capable of synthesizing a Big Idea, but where is he? Where is he that oncesymbolized the strength and spirit of America, which has become a hollow phrase? In the ModernOdyssey Ulysses does not come home to Ithaca to grow fat and reign peacefully, as is his due. Hegoes off on another adventure to find his soul, or spirit, and no one understands. His friends and subjects think he is crazy. Perhaps man has not come so far from Homer as he thinks, especially if he hasforgotten that to ask "why?" was once considered to be more important than the answer, which oftentook a lifetime to find. "To my great shame my hair has whitened, my teeth loosened, but I stillsquander my soul's strength on worthless works! You'd think I'd plundered the whole world with satedfists, nor knew of further seas to cross or men to meet, and, full of pride, moored in my native land torot!" In that passage from the Modern Odyssey, one might have heard the modern voice of America.Have we, indeed, gone soft? If we learn to ask questions again, any and all questions in more than idlechatter, we will have taken the first hard step. To ask and be embarrassed by what we find is not theeasiest task in what may be a tortuous search for an American identity that is not a cheap, machine-made mask.

That wasthe conclusion of Political Analysist, Louis Bean, who believes no major victories on the part of thecandidates encourages the followers of Stevenson. Bean was the only major political analyst whopredicted Harry Truman would win in 1948. Senator Kennedy did not receive a large enough majority ofvotes to assure him the Democratic nomination at the National Democratic Convention in LosAngeles. Senator Humphrey did not receive enough votes to claim a victory. Vice-President R i c h a rdNixon was put into a very humiliating position with his showing of only 29 per cent of the vote, andWisconsin is normally a Republican state. Some Republican o b s e r v e r s say Nixon's weak showingcan be attributed to the fact that he didn't campaign in Wisconsin, that there wasn't any contest onthe Republican ticket, and that some Republicans crossed party lines. Other Republicans think Gov.Nelson Rockefeller would be a stronger candidate after viewing Nixon's weak vote. The "Rock" says he will not accept second spot on the ticket. When Rockefeller was asked if he would accept a draft atthe Republican National Convention, he replied, "I will cross that bridge when it comes." Insummarizing the Wisconsin Primary, Kennedy pulled 470,000 votes giving him a percentage of 40per cent of the total vote, Humphrey received a vote of 372,000 or 31 per cent, and Nixon trailed with341,000 votes—29 per cent. Senator Kennedy was definitely helped by the Catholics of both parties.He pulled about 80 per cent of the Democratic Catholic vote, mostly in the cities. Humphrey attractedabout 75 per cent of the Democratic Catholics in farming areas bordering his home state of Minnesota.Humphrey's better voting record for the farmer undoubtedly helped him get the f a r m vote. TheDemocratic farm vote showed a strong protest to the Eisenhower-Benson farm policy. Humphreysaid he was en- CANDIDATE HUMPHREY Not Enough for Victory VICE-PRESIDENT NIXON Lost Every County couraged with the vote he did get, while Kennedy was happy with his victory. Nixon said he was well pleased with his vote, although he lost every county. Kennedy and Humphrey campaigned mostlyon the same issues. Humphrey's voting record in the Senate is a little more liberal than Kennedy's.Humphrey voted more pro labor and pro farm, and also for an $800 tax exemption which Kennedyvoted against. Both Senators voted against the Landrum- CANDIDATE KENNEDY Helped by CatholicsGriffin Labor Bill which greatly displeased Jimmy Hoffa, Teamster President. The next importantprimary takes place in West Virginia, where it is said the Senator from Massachusetts won't do as wellbecause only 3 per cent of the population are Catholics. SSI Sophistication and Decor Plans revealed at a recent Helmsmen meeting by co-chairmen Louise Button and Chuck Knight, indicated that thisyear's version of the Spring Sports Informal will feature a hint of sophistication and modern decor.

Bond Chapterof SWEA were presented with a trophy in Spokane Saturday. The award was presented "for the breadthand high caliber of their chapter's programs; for the close relationships they have developed with futureteacher organizations, local education associations and other professional groups. "For their abilityto engage members of their college faculty in Student WE A activities; for their continual supportof the state program, as evidenced by their assistance to their state officer and by their sponsorship of aregional meeting; but chiefly, for developing within a rapidly growing chapter the type of program whichencourages participation by all members." Mr. Stewart VanWingerden, faculty sponsor, NormaRice, president, and nine other members attended the SWEA state convention at Whitworth College.The theme of the conference was "New Professional Perspectives." The group was named outstandingcollege chapter of 1959-60. ARTIST AND LECTURER A Confused Adolescent The woman who had togrow out of a childhood success made her concert debut on her fourth birthday in Oakland, California,where she was hailed as another Mozart. Her unusual career is the result of the "frustrated ambition" ofher father. RUTH SLENCZYNSKA a Polish-American amateur violinist, who had decided before she wasborn that he would produce "one of the world's greatest musicians." At 16 months she could hum thethemes of over 50 musical masterpieces and could easily distingush music in minor and major keys. At3 she was practicing 8 hours a day under her father's vigilant guidance. With the outbreak of World WarII her career was brought to a sudden halt. For the first time in her life she was unemployed. The bitteryears which followed found a confused adolescent, who was "trying desperately to fight off thestranglehold of her tyrannical father and find herself as a person and an artist." A Decca Best Seller Ruth Slenczynska didn't appear before the public again until 1951, when she emerged as a matureartist to be a soloist in the Bach Festival in Car-mel, California. Since then she has given 600 concerts in the United States and Europe, recorded a series of bestseller records for Decca, and appeared onnumerous TV and radio programs. Though still in her early thirties, American-born Ruth Slenczynska has a quarter of a century of international concert triumphs behind her. She will present a piano recital onthe A-L Series in Western's Auditorium Tuesday, at 10 a.m. OFFICIAL COLLEGE CALENDARFRIDAY, April 15 Stephen Kemalyan, Baritone (Sacred Music) 10 a.m. Auditorium College PlayRehearsal 7 p.m., Auditorium SATURDAY, April 16 Music Auditions 1-3:30 p.m., Auditorium RecordDance 9 p.m.-12 a.m., Union, Main Lounge SUNDAY, April 17 Easter Sunrise Service 5:30 a.m.,Sehome Hill or Audi.

Driskill, a sophomore from John RogersHigh School in Spokane, also placed in the broad-jump.

BASEBALL A Long, Dry Afternoon Freshman DougRingenbach pitched and batted the Western Vikings to their first diamond victory of the season,providing a split with Pacific Lutheran college in their Evergreen conference doubleheader at Battersbyfield Saturday afternoon. It was a long, dry afternoon for the Viks until Roy Colton, Lute lefty,weakened in the fifth and walked Gary Tangen and Don Gard. Jim Kerns jammed the sacks with a buntsingle and this brought up Ringenbach. The husky pitcher rifled a line shot against the screen in left fortwo runs and drove Colton from the mound. Repoz followed with a long sacrifice fly to center for anotherrun. Phil Robicheau, freshman shortstop from Seattle, walked in the sixth, stole second and scored thefinal run of the game on Gard's slashing single to left. Repoz Loses Heartbreaker Repoz lost aheartbreaker in a stirring hill duel with Al Anderson in the opener. The only run was unearned and itcame in the sixth when two infield errors opened the gate and Glenn Campbell hit a solid double toleft to score Olson from second base. Western got only one hit off Anderson and that wasRingenbach's leadoff double against the high screen in left in the fourth. Repoz walked, then Andersonsettled down and got the next three men in order. Repoz almost pulled his game out on his own in theseventh with a screaming liner to right but Keppler made a spectacular catch of a ball that was ticketedfor at least three bases.

Ennen'sThriftway HIGH AND HOLLY Where Every Customer Is Important ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 22 - Page 3 ---------- The Sex Education Battle Adam's Sin Magnified by a Petition By STACY TUCKER There has appearedin The Belling-ham Herald an article dealing with a controversy that has been in the air for some time . . . in this specific case it was manifest in a gust of criticism towards sex education at Bellingham HighSchool by certain private parties. The author can speak from experience on the subject in that he tookthe course in question as a senior at Bellingham High . . . two years ago. Some persons would haveus believe that this course is a daily hour of sex, sex, sex . . and nothing else. This is far from the truth.The first half of the semester is not even concerned with sex in the smallest degree in that it is anaccredited first aid course. In the second half of the semester, sex is brought out as an important factorin physical life and not as an isolated subject. The title of the course is Family Relations for the boysand Home Relations for the girls. Both courses are basically the same . . . all aspects of family andadult life are discussed . . . religion in marriage, the responsibilities of parenthood, the physicalaspects of life from conception to death. We cannot hide from life due to the very fact that we are alive.Some people shun it but carry it with them in their flight. The intelligent person knows why he is inphysical incarnation and decides that as long as we are alive we may as well learn of life and live, asto hide from it and just exist. We Face a Problem In a class such as the one in question, problems arelooked at without the aid of rose colored glasses. By this I am not implying vulgarity, for all that is clearis not necessarily vulgar. We call a thing by its name . . . we face a problem and see it as it is and us as we are and then decide what to do about it. We take an aspect of life and discuss its use and misuse.We of today should view life as a natural thing and not as a sorted concept. Gone are the Victorian days when a leg was a limb, a pregnant woman was said to be "in a delicate condition," and discussion ofthe physical aspects of life was forbidden conversation. Puritanism has stepped aside. It has notvanished. On the whole, however, we are revolted at the thought of married people praying and fastingfor days before entering into marital relations and then hating themselves forever afterwards. They feltthat they must multiply that more souls be planted in the "valley of tears." They felt that they werebearing children to propagate an already corrupt race . . . Mankind. "In Adam's fall we sinned all" wastheir motto . . . how short they fell of the goal that the God of love that Christ spoke of had for them.Parenthood is not only as important a subject as an academic one, but it is also a sacred one. Adult life is important for there are many things that the growing person must face in life and must, therefore, know about It is my opinion that these courses in high school are as important as the academic ones.All are not qualified as teachers of life. It is sad but that is the case. Parenthood and adult life areimportant and glorious experiences that should not be encountered blindly. When parents on the wholemust have ministers tell their children of the meaning of spiritual life and instructors in a school telltheir children of the physical aspects of life, we wonder what is the matter . . . yet, we know the averageparent to be incompetent in both subjects . . . perhaps with better education in both fields we can have a new generation of enlightened parents . . . till then, the family relation courses are doing a splendidand worthwhile job, and anyone connected with them may and should feel a great sense of pride. FREE VERSE Ode to a Roundworm By KAREN BAINTER Ah, spring! She has descended upon us in all herglory, dragging in her wake all kinds of goodies: dandelions, complexes, grubby ground grippers, party-type things, rolled up lawn, and little tree leafs. Ah, spring! Spring is the time for romance; spring is thetime for stealing flowers; spring is the time for writing poetry—yes, poetry. When one's spirit soarsflying, it is only natural that one should fall into verse. I am speaking, of course, of rhyming-type poetrywhich has its renaissance in the spring (mainly, since I can't write free style poetry, I have to say thatrhyming-type poetry is re-awakened so I can poetize—I can't write rhyming-type poetry either, but thatis beside the point. These parentheses are beside the point)). Consider, for instance, the beauty of these words, and how they knit together to form an artistic composite. I walked up to him, And kissed himtenderly, For he was in his casket His money goes to me. Or maybe something more depressing—more in keeping with the social outcast (person who reads Collegian). Observe the intricate,complicated rhyming achieved in this poem, "No GL 70." There was a man named Closis, Whoalways breathed through his noses. With a date he was out, And breathed through his mouth. She wasasphyxiated by halitosis. *£ettvu . . . Dear Mr. Editor: I have just returned from this week's Legislaturemeeting and was disappointed to see the appointment of next year's Collegian editor postponed onceagain. It was apparent to those of us who are familiar with the political operations on this campus thatanother bit of subterfuge was under way. After the meeting we were able to find out what was not told tothe Legislature. It seems that a member of the Legislature and some member or members of thePublications Committee have undertaken to prevent one Howard DeWitt from applying for theeditorship. These persons have come up with a rule that supposedly has been in effect for some years. Itseems odd, however, that the rule was never put into the qualifications for editor stated by the ASB,nor in the qualifications listed by the Publications Committee, nor has it ever been given to a candidate for the editorship, nor has it been applied before. I hope that the Legislature will be alert to this attemptat persecution by a minority which has set out to prevent a qualified candidate from running. It isprecisely this type of activity which prevents more persons from seeking positions in studentgovernment.

Taken from Alexander Pope, this concept was the core of the theme Dr. Edward Hickspursued as he explored Humanism last week on the Faculty Speaks series. As a professor of literaturewho says he is "quite interested in man. Dr. Hicks disagrees with the scientific idea of "man as ananimal." Man's organic make-up is essentially the same as other mammals, and man is susceptibleto the primitive emotions of fear and hate which are closely related to the animal instinct to live. But man has a higher developed consciousness than other animals, Dr. Hicks said. Speaking of primitiveemotions, he suggested that "man has these primitive animal urges in him—fear, hate,sensuality—and if these dominate and overcome that which differentiates him from man—these urgeswill destroy him." That Awareness Turning to naturalism as represented by Zola, he said it sells manshort. Naturalism "fails to recognize what man may be, may do, or really is." In direct opposition to thisis Shakespeare's Hamlet, who, on the nature of man proclaims, "What a piece of work is aman—how noble in reason, in faculty— in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like aGod—the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals" Hamlet does not sell man short. Among man'smany qualities, according to Dr. Hicks, are his sense of comedy which is expressed by a laughterderived through his "reception of incongruities," and his awareness of mortality—" man is the onlyanimal that can experience that truth. Animals can experience pain, but their power of memory is notgreat enough to give them that awareness." There is also his sense of beauty—"man as I see him isthe only animal with a sense of beauty—not that other animals aren't beautiful. It's only man that canappreciate the aesthetic qualities of a beautiful landscape . . . Man is the greatest lover and I'm notspeaking in the Don Juan sense." Quoting Auden, he felt that man needs the love of a mate, a child, afriend, a neighbor, his work, and God. Also important is man's greater capacity for feeling, his moralsense. "Man is the only animal with a moral sense—a sense of good and evil in Page 4 V DR. HICKSWe Can't Exclude God behavior. He has the capacity to cherish and entertain the values of beauty,truth, and morals. Man must continue to search for truth with the realization that "the more hisintelligence expands, the more he is aware of the more there is to learn." When man ceases to look forimprovement he is on his way down. When his talk was over, many waited to hear the answers to the few questions Dr. Hicks was to be asked. "Accept Christianity—a concept of humanism ultimately leads to God." When further questioned about religion and its relation to true humanism, Dr. Hicksexplained that "most definitions of humanism do exclude religious concepts. But this is artificial. If werecognize the distinctive traits of man, we can't exclude God." MUSIC A Promising Quarter For campus music enthusiasts, the quarter looks like a promising one. The Porgy and Bess program last weekopened the scheduled performances with success, and the morning concert presented by StephenKemalyan and Horace Martinez was enjoyed by a small, though appreciative audience. This baritonevocalist and his pianist presented a program of classical music, including pieces by Handel, Debussy,and Tschaikowsky. This week, students were presented with an hour of music by Ruth Slenczynska, atalented young musician who has just returned to the public limelight after a 12-year withdrawal from the concert scene. As a /ESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN four year old she had gained inter*national fame as a child prodigy, and is now touring the U.S. and Europe as a mature concert artist.Noted Opera Singer Another big feature will be presented this weekend when Leontyne Price, notedopera singer, appears on the Western stage tomorrow night. Sponsored by the Bellingham Civic MusicGroup, Mrs. Price has appeared in such music capitals as Vienna, Paris and Berlin as well as in manyU. S. cities. She has recently appeared in Don Giovanni on the NBC network, and been a scholarshipstudent at the Juliard School of music. On the other side of the music picture, the college MusicDepartment is also planning programs for the quarter. The newly organized Concert Chorale, a select36 voice vocal group, has been touring western Washington this week. Featured vocalists were MarshaWhitchurch, Larry Marsh, and Merlin Epp, with Rodney Mercado, a faculty member, as the featuredviolinist. Professor Bernard Regisr directed.

TAYLOR LEAVES The "Houseape"Visits As the secretary typed rapidly away in the corner of the office, Dr. Herbert Taylor leaned back inhis chair, his legs on his desk and his pipe in his mouth. He talked about his upcoming leave ofabsence. Taylor will be writing during six months of the nine on his leave of absence. In September hewill first go to the University of California where he will do research for articles he is writing on theNorthwest Coast Indians. He will then do archeological survey work in Chihuahua, in Northern M e xi c o . At the end of the month and in early October, he will be doing library research at the Universityof Texas on some articles he is writing on Southwest archeology. Prom late October through December,he, Mrs. Taylor and "the houseape" will be visiting both sets of parents who live in Texas. Taylor will bedoing more general writing and will look over some of the archeological ruins in the area from January toMarch at Oaxaca in Southern Mexico. During April, May and early June they will be in Europe touringBritian, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. Some Afraid, Others Awed Sociologyand anthropolgy instructor Taylor is a subject of conversation on and off campus. Some people areafraid of him, others awed by him. He strides into his classes authoritatively and lectures in a straight-forward manner, occasionally punctuating his talk with a precise question such as, "You, there, Miss inthe pink blouse— What is the height of the average American male?" The students aren't bored. Theydon't dare be. His alert eyes miss little. When he returns to Bellingham for the 1961 Summer session,both he and his classes will undoubtedly have more to talk about. sibility, as vital to freedom's future asthe National Defense Program." Eisenhower Formula Weak The Eisenhower formula, Johnson said, wasstrong words and weak deeds. He urged the implementation of the National Defense Education Act,including the student loan and fellowship provisions He also urged a program of basic federalfinancial support for local public schools, devoid of federal control. Johnson strongly urges support ofmedical aid to elderly people under the Social Security program as set up by the Forand Bill now pending before Candidate Johnson Gives Western Democrats His Platform YOUNG DEMOCRATS "A Battle ofBrain Power" By GARY ODEGAARD "In a world threatened by the Soviet Union, education becomes ameans for national survival. The world struggle between freedom and communism has become a battle of brain power." These were the -powerful statements expounded by Congressional candidate Wilbur E.Johnson last Monday at the Young Democratic meeting. Johnson criticized the Eisenhoweradministration for its lack of leadership in meeting the problems of education. "The United States,"youthful Johnson stated, "cannot any longer afford to regard education as a matter simply of stateand local concern and responsibility. Whether we like it or not, education has become a matter ofhighest national concern and respon- Congress. Johnson favors a "Food for Peace" program as set upby Sen. Hubert Humphrey—surplus foods to be distributed to needy countries. Johnson a d m i t sthat he has a real challenge on his hands to unseat Congressman Jack Westland, who has served this2nd District for 7 years. "But he can be beat, and that's what I am out to do," Johnson stated. "West-land only won by a 6 plus per cent majority in the last election, and I feel that I can turn that majority to myside by getting out to the people and telling them facts about the present do-nothing Congressman."Johnson said that Westland has voted against almost everything for the benefit of our district, and thathe even voted against his own bill (Public Works Bill). When he found that President Eisenhower wasopposed to it. Westland's opposing vote lost the measure. April 22, 1960 WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN Page 5 ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 22 - Page 6 ---------- Western's Honors Program A Source of Pleasure to See the Manner In Which the Students Have DealtWith Ideas for the Sake of Ideas Themselves more than two books a week around special subject matter and effectively operating as those who would test and be tested to determine the program's futurerole. As they sat reading, met with tutors and typed out work,, what did the students involved think? The Collegian asked two participants in the program to give their comments; the organizers of the planalso commented. What happens from this point, with the students and with the program, will probablydetermine how soon the program for students with special abilities will extend from freshman to senior,and become an integral part of the Western curriculum as well as influencing other colleges, highschools and society, itself, motivating people of such caliber to use their abilities in more than wastedand bored effort. CHARLES STOCKWELL More Than Two Books a Week Far Above Others What does a college do with students whose mental capacities put them far above others in their classes,making the standard work load simple and often leading to boredom? Should these people findactivities on their own, to make up for what their curriculum does not require? Should they alwaysbe at the top of the grade curve by often effectively doing nothing? What reason have they to learn whenmuch of what they are being taught is what they already know or can grasp simply and quickly—quickly enough to become bored? What, too, does society offer these people? These are questions thatstruck this years college administration as ones that should be answered. When Dr. James Jarrettbegan his term at Western he promised that the college would undergo /many changes, including aspecial program for students of higher abilities. As this quarter began, the program, began to unfold in its first stages. Eighteen Western students began working with tutors, reading Page 6 A THINKINGPROCESS Darwin and Literature By MURRAY SANDS "It makes one think and that, for me and moststudents, is a new process." The above statement, spoken by honor student Pete Visser, is perhaps indicative of an attitude shared by eighteen freshmen presently enrolled in what is known as theHonors Program. The program includes these eighteen students (I.Q's from about 130 to 140) and four faculty members who act as tutors and administrators. Faculty members in charge are Dr. Charles J.Flora, Dr. Herbert C. Taylor, Mr. Sydney Mendel, and Dr. Erwin S. Mayer. Mayer, Chairman of theHonors Committee, outlined the mechanics of the program as follows: 1— each studentparticipates in a program of two colloquia; 2—students are assigned a tutor with whom they meet forone hour each week; 3—in addition, regular courses are taken to round out a full credit-load. By wayof further explanation it should be noted that the two colloquia consist of assignments concerningthe subjects "Darwin" and "Literature." A typical week's reading assignment for either WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN DR. FLORA of t h e s e is a coverage of two or three books. Under theabove system, credits are given in the following manner: three credits each for the aforementionedcolloquia, two credits for tutorial sessions, plus any credits earned in regular academic subjects. TheHonors Program itself, then, is worth eight credits. The program is designed to provide superior studentswith an education more in keeping with their abilities. As Taylor put it, most superior students are boredwith a curriculum which would satisfy the normal to bright-normal student. For this and other reasonsthey work at a level far below their capabilities and, in effect, waste themselves. Both Ta y 1 o r and M ay e r emphasize that it is much too early to evaluate the effects of the Honors Pro- DR. MAYER April22, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 22 - Page 7 ---------- gram. Both, however, are decidedly optimistic. Taylor believes the program will be effective and he has"high expectations" for the future. Mayer, while not making any definite predictions, did have thefollowing to say: "It has been a source of considerable pleasure to me to see the colloquia in action andto see the manner in which the students have dealt with ideas for the sake of the ideas themselves."Honor Students Richard Maneman and Pete Visser agree that their new system of study is challengingand interesting. Maneman feels that one of the program's objectives is to enable the development of aclear, concise outlook as far as study and method of study are concerned. Visser stresses the pointthat his classes are more interesting. Both are of the opinion that they are learning more and bothagree that the new process known as thinking is rewarding.

LuciaHawkins, an extraordinarily attractive young soprano, appeared on stage and began to singSummertime. In the audience, there were nods of approval mixed with a few unfavorable comments bythose who claimed her voice was strained and that she seemed tired. Levern Hutcherson then walked on stage to sing as Porgy and the audience sat up in appreciation. No one denied that he wasmagnificent. His voice filled the Auditorium with its full-throated power, and the applause wasenthusiastic. It was easy to see why he had been chosen to play the leading role in the Broadwayproduction. There Were Chuckles Avon Long, cavorting on stage as Sportin' Life aroused chuckleswith his soft-shoe dancing and his amusing gestures in singing his role. The three ™ent through muchof the score from Gershwin's beloved opera and then went on to songs from Carousel, Carmen Jonesand others. Hutcherson put all the strength and vigor of his voice into a song he learned in Isreal, "acountry of the most beautiful music" and the three came back and sang an encore with "The Begats,"setting the audience once more to laughing and then to clapping warmly as the trio left the stage the last time.

Activities were called to a halt because of the unfavorableweather and darkness. Meanwhile down on field two, the T.K.B.'s were staging a last minute rally todefeat Denny Kimmel and his Ramblers, 11 to 6. Coach Ray Ciszek says the league promises somefast action. Due to a re-scheduling arrangement there is still time for one more team to apply. GOLFTwo Ways The Western golfers took a drubbing two ways this week. It rained throughout the match,and the final score was P.L.U. 15, Western 0. Medalist for the afternoon was Erv Marlowe of the Luteswith a 69. Things should improve for the Viks when the conference championship matches are played atthe end of the season. Coach John Kulbitski says he will have Bill Wright for the playoffs. Bill will beoccupied most of the season with his student teaching, causing him to miss much of the matchplay. But it must be remembered that the conference champion is chosen from the four teams that enterthe playoffs at the end of the season. This would undoubtedly make Western a strong contender, sinceWright is the National Public Links champ of 1959. BASKETBALL It Was Different The echoes can stillbe heard. The wonderful sound of the tire iron against the beer keg. Those friendly little tussles withthe P.L.U.. yell kings. All those good will siens. and the welcoming cheers as the opposing teamtakes the floor. Ah yes, it was a fine year. And yet it was different. How many people realize that thevery core of this year's basketball team had never played together? Ron Crowe, Jim Greer, Gary Moseand Ed Vadset all attended the U of W., but were denied the opportunity of working as a unit. Theremainder of the squad either met for the first time in a Western uniform, or had never played together as a group. This outstanding fact is mute testimony to the ability of Jack Hubbard. The team was thebiggest winner in the school's history with 19 wins and 8 losses. They Voted Award winners honored bytheir teammates this year are; Dermot Cunningham, honorary captain; Bob Gilda, Dairygold award; andRoger Meyers, Inspirational. Roger, a member of the Junior Varsity squad for the past three years,has undoubtedly made history as the first J.V. member to be v o t e d the Inspirational award whichusually is awarded to varsity players. And yet, what could be more fitting? Meyers and J. V. playerslike Terry Slettedahl and Keith Kingsbury work and sweat for hours to keep the varsity sharp.Opposing players voted on the All- Opponent by the Vikings were: Williams and Dahl, P.LU.;Weatherwax, U.P.S.; Washburn, Whitworth; and Mogg, S.P.C. Another First Among the manyprecedents set this past year by the Vikings, was the dual choice of Ron Crowe and Ed Vadset to theAll-Evergreen Conference first team. Itis the first time in the school's history that two Western playershave copped All-Conference honors in the same year and both players are outside men. Ron averaged 20.7 points per game, scored at a 43% average from the field. While Easy Ed hit for 12.2 points pergame at an even 40% field goal average The total brass collection made by this year's Viks reads asfollows: Carrol c o l l e g e Invitational Tourney Championship, Co-Evergreen ConferenceChampionship, N.A.I.A. District Crown, and N.A.I.A. Regional Crown with its consequent plane ticket toKansas City. This profusion of trophies couldn't have come at a better time. They will assume residencein the new Gym replacing the green, moss covered relics now serving as hat racks in the various P.Eoffices. The Future Looking ahead, the pattern is again beginning to take shape. On campus from one of the big city schools is John Riseland. A former All-City choice from Lincoln High School in Seattle,Riseland was at the end of Seattle U.'s bench this year, became dissatisfied and transferred. Word has it there are other unsatisfied cagers of proven ability eyeing the local small colleges. Western's hopes fora returning starter from this year's winning team were dashed last week when Dermot Cunningham'spetition to the conference was denied. Viking fans will certainly miss the services of this sterlingdefensive stalwart, who lost a year of eligibility for thirty seconds of freshman action.

Free to worship God in my own way, Free to stand for what I think right, Free to opposewhat I think is wrong, Free to choose those who govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledgeto uphold, For myself and all mankind. The preceding Freedom Pledge should make an American stopand think about the many freedoms that we have the given right to exercise through our form ofgovernment called Democracy. The complacency shown by so many college students towardgovernment and politics makes one wonder if they are even aware of the fact that we live in a thing called a democracy. This complacency or apathy, or maybe just plain lethargy, becomes a real threat todemocracy and contributes to the growth of Communism. Western's apathetic students do not favor thisthreat; they merely haven't taken time to realize it. In this twentieth century world, government hasbecome more important than ever before—it touches every life every day. The sort of world in whichone lives, the kind of job one gets, the education he receives, the extent of freedom and security heenjoys, are all vitally affected by government. Politics are the human activities which creategovernment. Try as he will, one cannot escape politics. He may ignore politics, but politics will notignore him because taxes, roads, schools, housing, and the hydrogen bomb are all political problems.The real question is, can one remain willing to sit back and let others make these basic decisionswhich control his destiny? The individual who does is foolish and irresponsible; foolish because helets others run his life for him, irresponsible because he refuses to accept the obligations and dutieswhich a free society requires of its citizens for the continued enjoyment of democratic rights andprivileges. What is more, he is missing the stimulation, fun and enjoyment that politics can bring.Casting a vote is not, of itself, a wise April 29, 1960 It Makes One Wonder . . . or responsible act. Howand why a person votes is the measure of his worth as a responsible citizen. He must understand theissues and develop a political philosophy of his own, and when he has made up his mind what he reallybelieves he will look around for people who have similar ideas, p e o p l e who are trying to get their ideas translated into action, who are working out ways to carry their ideas to other people so that theirnumbers will grow. In short, one will take his first close look at our political parties. Many students callthemselves "independents." The most independent individual is the person of independent judgmentwho takes part in the entire political process, which includes full participation in the party of hischoice. Parties are far from perfect— they're only as good as the people who compose them, and to theextent that a person fails to participate, he is responsible for their imperfections. The following is aquotation by Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt which one should think about— "America willhave to be led in the days to come by the youth of today . . . You will find that your fight againstselfishness and injustice, against oppression, and, above all, against war, will take you into a man-sized struggle. "I am telling you this not to discourage you, but to stimulate you. Our fight—yoursand mine—is to keep democracy safe by keeping it moving forward. In such a fight it is an unhappy place to be on the side lines. To the young people of America I say: Join with us; ours is the realstruggle to continue and preserve democracy in America." WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIANBEFORE THEY GET A CHANCE By LEO DODD, Collegian Columnist Here's a warning to all campuspoliticians who are planning to apply for ASB offices. Make sure you're in the favor of the big-wigs ofstudent government before you apply. A couple of students in student government, including ourASB President, were opposed to some of the policies of the present Collegian editor, Howard DeWitt, so they decided to personally sack him. They began by publicly questioning the ethical values of policies used by the Collegian for many years and laying the blame on DeWitt. Then, to make sure DeWitt would not be re-elected to the editorship, they held up the election of Collegian editor for three consecutiveweeks. The outcome is still inthe balance. It is this writer's opinion that our Student Legislature, whichselects the Collegian editor, is intelligent enough to see through this blackball attempt by a prejudiced two or three, and that their decision will be based on the true merits and faults of the candidatesinvolved . . . For people who don't realize it, we have a national celebrity on our campus. Bill Wright, the 1959 National Publinks Golf Champion is back in school after serving a six months hitch with UncleSam. Final student teaching has forced Bill off the inter-collegiate fairways temporarily, but nextsummer he'll be defending his crown on the sandy beaches of Hawaii . . . BILL WRIGHT Next Summerthe Sandy Beaches . . . Page 3 ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 29 - Page 4 ---------- It Might Seem Strange, But. . . Seventeen Million Americans Have Severe Mental Disorders It mightseem strange, with events like National Jello Week, Dairy week and Apple Blossom Festivals, to beheading efforts for a Mental Health Week. But to John Schermerhorn, buzzing busily around the VikingUnion this week, it wasn't funny at all. "Look around yourself. Count the first ten friends sitting near youand realize that one of these ten will probably one day be hospitalized with a severe mental illness."With these words, Schermerhorn went on to throw a few more punches. "In all other fields we'vemanaged to respect and accept the fact that illness comes to the human body. But in the field of illnessof the mind, people still tend to shy away, from the thought that mother or grand- ONE OUT OF TEN . . . In the Room Around You father, too, has had a mental illness or may be a little 'tetched.'" Why theemphasis? According to Schermerhorn, the Viking Union Board felt that mental health week was a thingthat especially affected college students. Not that they were going to present lectures like, "Your room-mate may be schizophrenic" or "Have you had paranoia lately?" The Board, however, decided to useall the facilities of the Union to emphasize the work that Bellingham's mental health organization,manned by Western Dean of Students Dr. Merle M. Kuder, is trying to achieve in convincing the public that mental illness is as common, and in some cases, as ordinary, as an attack of appendicitus orsmallpox. In League with the Devil "It's been several years since a man with an appendectomy scar hasbeen considered in league with the devil," Schermerhorn sighed, "but not so with someone who hasreturned from a short stay in a mental institution." Yet the two illnesses, he declared, have nothing overthe other in prevalence. "The mentally ill are no longer strapped to a board and put on display asmadmen or lunatics. Hospitals have become aware of the personal problems of individuals." And that,according to Schermsr-horn, was the job the Union Board decided to tackle on campus—to attemptto convince people that mental illness is not something that must be hidden in the attic, and that mentalinstitutions are not subsidiaries of devil-purging societies against evil. The Root of our Problems Otherson campus appear to feel just as strongly. "Mental illness is far and awav the most significant problem society faces. Not only mental illness, per se, but the vast field of mental maladjustment which is at the root of many of our problems," Dr. Kuder explained as he sat in his office overlooking the sun-splattered walk to Old Mam where some of the one out of ten who would eventually be facing theproblem, were even then walking. One out of five families will have occasion to use the facilities of themental health program," Schermerhorn explained "Seventeen million Americans presently havesevere mental disorders, another three-hundred thousand people will be admitted to mentalinstitutions for the first time this year, this for the most obvious and confining mental illnesses. Crimeand divorce are but two of the social problems that have more than a passing association with mentalhealth. How much money is spent each year to detain or incarcerate men and women, boys and girlswho have been unable to adjust to the demands of our society?" "It is estimated that 3,000 dollars issaved each time a child is helped to adjust or overcome the social problems that would otherwise resultin his detention," Fred DeBruler of the Psychology department explained. He was sitting in thecampus department where many Western students have been helped to overcome problems that mighthave kept them from gradu- . . MUST BE UNDERSTOOD On the Sun-S plait ere i Walk atrn.g from thecollege. Both Dr. Kuder and DeBruler were concerned with the necessity of educating the public tounderstand more about mental health. "Not only the treatment of the ill but the need for research to helpus understand and prevent, are some of the main reasons for a mental health week," said Kuder, vicepresident of the local mental health board. "We need to focus our attention." Crazy People withProblems As Dr. Kuder finished, and went back to the job of counseling students and planning collegecatalogs and programs, John Schermerhorn was busy again in the Viking Union. He was talking to astudent, perhaps one of the ten. "Almost everyone shows some signs of neurosis, mild depression ormania. Still, they are not considered crazy people simply because they have problems." With appleblossom festivals and national jello slogans, one might wonder, but if Mental Health Week had oneeffective and necessary slogan, it was probably Schermerhorn's last statement. (Mental healthprograms, speeches and panels featuring top college and local speakers will take the place of A-Lprograms and be featured on special spots next Wednesday and Thursday.

Page 4 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN April 29, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 29 - Page 5 ---------- TV DEBUT A Typical Student Western will be featured on the "Washington State Story" tomorrow. Theprogram, which this month emphasizes teacher education, will revolve around a film which traces theschedule for a day of Norma Rice, a typical Western education student. A regular television programsponsored by the State Democratic Comm i t t e e , "Washington State Story" shows Saturday,April 30, at 1:30 P.M. on channel 7. A later showing of the program is planned for KVOS on channel 12. The typical Western student's activities while at college have been centered around the activities ofsuch groups as the Scholarship Society, Kappa Delta Pi, and Valkyrie, in the person of studentRice. She is the president of SWEA this year, and her ambition is "to be a teacher and a good one" to work with children. Next year, she will teach first grade at Mukilteo. Western President James Jarrett, as an expert on education, will discuss with Governor Rosellini The New Look in Western's teachereducation curriculum. Shortly after the program begins, the film will be presented showing student Rice teaching at the Campus School and at Fairhaven Junior High School, observing the fifth grade atthe Campus School, attending one of Dr. Taylor's seminars, studying in the library, relaxing in the VikingUnion, and participating in other activities of a typical student. The film, with its emphasis on progress,will show the sites for the new co-op, commons, and gymnasium, and also the nearly completedScience Building. After the film, student Rice will be introduced, and Dr. Jarrett and Governor Roselliniwill further discuss The New Look which the governor will see for himself when he visits campus nextweek. SSI Playboy Escapades The titles of two popular men's magazines suggested the theme for this year's Spring Sports Informal Escapades." Playboy's familiar black-and-white April 29, 1960 rabbit will don top hat and tails, and grace the Holiday Ballroom, the Skagit County location for next Friday night's formal event. Co-chairmen for the annual event are Louise Button and Chuck Knight. The SSI istraditionally the event in which the Sam Carver Trophy is presented to Western's Athlete of the Year.Jerry Joyce, Jack Sim, Ron Crowe and Ron Ladines have been nominated for this honor. Programs goon sale at $1.75 a couple in Old Main Tuesday. SSI music will be provided by Ken Cloud's band fromSeattle. HEAVEN HELL The Devil to Pay By BONNIE BAKER There'll be the devil to pay tomorrow night when the Freshman class swings into action with its annual class mixer, scheduled for nine tomidnight in the Viking Union. Why? Because he will be at the gates to collect the 15c admission."Heaven and Hell" is the theme of the dance, the upstairs lounge being heaven and the downstairs beinghell. Upstairs the music will be soft and dreamy for those who want to dance in the clouds. Those whodon't like this can go to hell. Here the music will be "hot enough to burn your feet," says SandyCortelyou, social board member. School clothes will be appropriate, and everyone is urged to come."This will undoubtedly be the only time you will have the opportunity to visit either heaven or hell and beable to leave if you don't like it." AFTERMATH Stars in the Eyes . . . The swinging sounds of BobStorm's college dance band put stars in the eyes and wings on the feet of about 300 Western dancersand their guests at last Friday's AWS "April Love" tolo. Pink and lavender flowers gave the VU ballrooma spring air, in marked contrast to the Washington dew drenching the campus. The band was backed by a large "April Love" flower heart. Couples attending the event were treated to the traditional personaltouch in the form of hearts bearing their names arranged in the union foyer. An added event in theevening's entertainment came when two sentimental s t u d e n t s recalled their junior high schoolalma mater. Cake and punch were served in the SUB coffee shop. ATHLETE OF THE YEARCANDIDATES After a Trophy in Top Hats and Tails . . . WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 5 ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 29 - Page 6 ---------- LEGISLATURE The Conscience Box By JUDY BORMAN After having the BIG ISSUE postponed twoweeks in a row, those who went to the Legislature expecting a knock-down-drag-out over the Collegian editorship for next year had their sadistic dreams shattered as the issue was once again postponedbecause of intervention by the "administration." The finance report came off smoothly with anautomatic acceptance of a recommendation from the athletic department to transfer 100 dollars withinthe accounts of the intramural budget. The question of a new stove for the Union coffee shop was bandied around for awhile with the final decision being that the Union Board should consider the matter andmake a formal recommendation. Mike Barnhart mentioned the need for an immediate decision andexpressed his concern for the "poor little pots" which have to hang over the edge of the present stove forwant of proper space. 'Can We Afford It?' A suggestion by Gary Gerhard to print up copies of the ASBconstitution and distribute them to students during registration, met with resistance by the president who asked the crucial question, "can we afford it?" He went on to add that it could be considered. Barnhartmade a casual comment to the effect that he had met some students who had "suddenly discovered"they had a few extra library books and didn't want to risk returning them as they hadn't been checkedout. "The doors are closed to them," he said, refering to the new check-em-as-they-go system. 'A Hellof a Thing7 Barnhart suggested that "conscience boxes" be placed around campus so that persons whowant to return unchecked books could "come out in the dark and drop their little missies in theconscience box." Dr. Cederstrom expressed adamant disapproval of the negative plan. This would be "ahell of a thing to get out" he exclaimed, and Barnhart defended his initial suggestion by saying, with asly grin, that the students with extra books "just borrowed them." The matter was left at that. Gustavson announced t h a t next week's agenda will include consideration of the budget and election ofCollegian editor for next year and editor and business manager for this summer. He will also call forapplications for Profile editor for next year. Adjournment in a Rush The president then made a fewremarks about the condition of the Legislature room after the Union Board has met in it, and said inone complete rush of words, "if there are no further comments the meeting is adjourned." Those who had additional comments were forced to make them unofficially; the meeting had been conveniently andquickly adjourned. CO-ED PROBLEMS No Sound of Fury It took a long time in coming, but a soundingboard for female problems hit the Campus this week. Girls who feel they have been victimized by a toostrict rule system and have received campuses unfairly, were told they could now make an appeal to theAWS Standards Board and have their campuses reviewed by a committee of fellow co-eds. TheBoard, composed of elected representatives from the seven largest organized houses, will serve a three quarter term. The smaller houses take turns supplying the group with members in a quarterly plan,whereby seven houses are represented each quarter. In addition to the voting members, a chairman iselected by the AWS officers. Carol Shamerhorn was named chairman for this year, with Sue Conanfrom Barr's Hall as secretary. The reviewing system, says Miss Shamerhorn, goes into effectimmediately and any student who wishes to present her case to the Board may obtain an appealfrom a Board representative. The Board will then review her case after a regular Thursday meeting.The meetings, held in the Legislature room in the VU at 4 weekly, are open to the public except whenreviews are taking place. There are no sounds allowed out then. _ Meet Your Legislators Forced toAct a barrier to the realization of this ideal. As he put it, a legislator is forced Legislator Bob Burgoyne is, by his "to do what he thinks is right," and own admission, an idealist. For this not what the people "saythey think reason he believes that a representa- is right" simply because no one is interested enoughto assert an opinion. I'd Rather Lose . . . Burgoyne is concerned with the lack of student turn-out forelections, and he emphasizes that he would rather "lose in an election with a turn-out of 75% than win in one in which only 25% of the students voted." Carrying this line of thought a bit further, he points outthat with a voting percentage comparable to last quarter's, an organization such as Eden's Hall couldcontrol the ASB government if they turned out "en masse." Burgoyne is presently a third quarter juniorenrolled as a speech major and math minor. He graduated from Castle Rock High School with acumulative grade point average of 3.56; his present college g.p.a is 2.9. 'Kick Us All Out' As for thefuture, Burgoyne states that he will run for re-election at the end of this quarter. His comment upon whatstudents think since they seldom express it, is that anyone dissatisfied with the present legislatureshould come to the polls and "kick us all out." BOB BURGOYNE Edens Hall Could Run Us . . . tivebody such as the legislature should be a "voice of the people." However, he also feels that Western'sgeneral lack of interest in things governmental is Page 6 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN April29, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 29 - Page 7 ---------- DRAMA Strange New Plays An old phase in Western's Theater moved into a finale with the music ofWhere's Charley," when Dr. William Gregory left this college for Detroit. The curtain-opening of the newdrama direction on campus may startle some of the old "American Theater" fans. Keith Michael,Gregory's replacement, is producing two French satires by Ionesco, the likes of which Western, or the United States, for that matter, has probably never seen. The closest competition for the Western Players on these productions is a small theater on the left bank of Paris where the plays have been running offand on for nine years. Ionesco, a Rumanian playwright, is the author of The Bald Soprano and TheLesson. His works are "experimental in that they aren't familiar; they deviate from our standardconceptions of what drama should be," says Michael. Satire on Education "They are strange plays inthat one is able to feel what the play says rather than being able to disect it logically." The Bald Soprano is aimed at satirizing conversation, polite manners, and our general inability to communicate with one another. The Lesson on the other hand, is a satire on educational orineiples, and is a commentary onindividuals caught up by the demand to p°,t an education, but lacking the desire to learn for thesake of learning. Hopeless and Depressing The two plays, extremely popular in France, are, in a sense,in the style of Samuel Beckett. "However, whereas Beckett's plays have a hopeless depressingquality about them, these are light, frothy and gay, as only French drama can be," Michael said. Thenew director comes to Western with a background in European theater. He had a year of special work at the University of Bristol in England, during which he traveled throughout Europe on his holidays. Thisgave him the opportunity to see numerous European productions, including the two scheduled for thisquarter. The rest of Michael's credentials are equal- "RAINFOREST" A Most Unusual Aspect lyimpressive. He stage-managed the world premier of Mary Chase's Mrs. M c T h i n g at the "Theater inthe Grove" in Pennsylvania, and while in Bristol he also directed a new script at the University, written by BBC script writer Dorek Coltman. Michael is changing the policy of production presentation for theseplays, by cutting the auditorium to a capacity of 536 an evening, but he will run the shows three nights to accommodate the student body. The seats available will be from the balcony forward on the main floorand the forward section of the balcony only. His reason for this change is that "these are small audience shows . . . a large audience would ruin them." Michael hopes the audience will realize that "Whenone goes to plays like these, one must go completely open-minded and participate in the productionemotionally . . . We hope the play will be one of laughter and enjoyment." THE FOUNTAIN All WetAlready One of the most controversial little items this side of the ASB Legislature is the new bronzefountain presently being erected midway between the new Science building and the Library. At leastthat's what people have been saying this week. Set in a shallow rectangular pool lined with inch-squareblue tiles, the "Rainforest," by sculptor James Fitzgerald, rises a full sixteen feet into the air. Whenfinished, the floodlit fountain should be a major campus attraction. The general student reaction to thefountain varies from approval to horror. One person stated that "the new fountain will attract attention."Another asked, "What did they do? Steal it from trie Woodland Park monkey cage?" The most unusualsingle aspect of the "Rainforest" is, of course, its shape. Triple slabs of bronze rise vertically with their bases forming the three points of a triangle. Supported between the slabs . are dish shaped plates overwhich a cascade of water will splash in a stair-step pattern on its way to the lighted pool below.Operational by the middle of June, the fountain will provide a spectacle for summer school students. As a matter of fact, most people are taking a look at it right now—if nothing else, 'Rainforest' has let loose a shower of opinion. IS AMERICA GOING SOFT? Dr. Herbert Taylor and Richard Whittemore will befeatured speakers on a Mental Health Week Panel next Thursday evening, when they consider thequestion "Is America Going Soft?" from 7-8 p.m., Boom 11-A in the Union.

April 29, 1960 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 7 ---------- Collegian - 1960 April 29 - Page 8 ---------- 2Q New Faculty: Four New College Councils and the Men Who Will Man Them 'Education' Over'Training' Some of the old skeletons have been quietly hauled out of Western curricular closets, andwith a few major overhauls it was announced this month that a new departmental structure of thecollege will soon be placed beneath the Sehome surface. In fact, if passer sby have noticed thephysical appearance of Western changing rapidly, they will soon see that the organization of the collegeis moving faster than its booming building program. Putting teacher "education" over the old idea ofteacher "training" the ad-ministration has announced that the college will be broken into four enlargingsections. Initiated by the Faculty Council, under the chairmanship of Dr. Herbert Taylor, the new planprovides for four councils: one on Professional Education, one on Arts and Sciences, a GraduateCouncil and a Council on General Education. A Skeleton Emerging Faster Than the Building BoomFRANCIS EVENHUIS Specialist in Drama Each of the Councils will be headed by a director, who will in turn be responsible to a co-ordinating Dean of Instruction. In line with the four councils, the majorfeature of renovation will be the breaking-up and consolidation of old departmental structures. The mostcontroversial item on the Faculty Council's change recommendations was the creation of aseparate Psychology department that would exist apart from the department of Education-TeacherTraining. A final vote of the faculty approved the council's recommendation, but stipulated that theEducation division would be known as the Department of Professional Education. With the creation of separate history, philosophy, geology, geography, biology, physics and chemistry, and socialscience departments, eighteen distinct departments of the college will emerge. To many, this was notnews; it had been planned for some time. Some of the newest developments were announced thismonth when President Jarre tt released the information that twenty new faculty members will be hiredto fill out and man the new departments. The list was not only impressive in quantity. In the backgroundof the new members was a story of more than a filling out of departments with quickly-selectedprofessors. The stature and experience of many of the new men will probably add as much to the college as the buildings rising along the hillside of High Street. Dr. Robert A. Christman, presently AssistantProfessor of Geology at Cornell University and the author of several scientific studies, will join thecollege staff as Associate Professor of Geology. Dr. Ben-Ami Scharfstein has published two booksand several shorter works. Now teaching at Tel Aviv University, Dr. Scharfstein will become AssociateProfessor of Philosophy and Chairman of the Department. Mr. James E.

The rain fell for only about half an hour but left about two inches of water standing on theinside lane of the track. The day was not a complete loss though. Western's Cindermen hustled back to Seattle to compete in the final events of the Seattle Relays. Jerry Joyce, always a big winner for theViks, won the 100 yard dash in 10.2. The relay team ran the two mile relay and took second placemainly through the efforts of Dave Page who ran as anchor man and brought the baton from fourth placeby running a 1:54.4 half-mile which equals his best time of last year. Dale Warr, John Winterholler, andDon Tretheway formed the rest of the relay team. His Best College Time Tretheway was the only otherVik to place in the meet as he took second place in the three-mile with his best college time of 15:3.This Saturday the Viks meet UBC and the Vancouver Olympic Club in a three-way meet that shouldprove interesting to everyone. The feature event will be a 3,000 meter steeple chase that will include awater jump, high hurdles, low hurdles, and 3,000 meters of cinders. Western's version of the road-runner, Don Tretheway, will be the Viks' only entry in the event. The meet will be held on the WWC oval and isscheduled to start at 1:30. GOLF Only Two Cracked The weather was warm but the boys were cold asthe Vik link squad dropped a UPS match last Tuesday by a big 11% to 3% margin, despite a 74 effortby hot shooting Jack Scruggs. Only two Viks could crack the scoring column, Scruggs, who scored2% points, and Dave Ewert, who garnered one bean. The rest of the five man team had a tough day andfailed to win a match. Ewert and Scruggs were the only linkers in the seventies. The other scores werewell into the eighties. The Viks next match is in Tacoma next Thursday with the same UPS team.BASEBALL Stroking the Doubles Western's timbermen finally began to unlimber the big wood as theytrounced the Seattle Pacific Falcons 14 to 1 last Monday at Downer Field. The victory was the second ina row for the Vik money-makers producing five and six runs resr gt;°"t'vel.y. Jim Kerns hit twodoubles in the fifth inning, and drove in two runs, but he had a good deal of help. Kerns started off theinniDg with a double. Roger Reno?. foFowed with another double and Padlo a single. A pair of walks gotSPC's pitcher Blowers into trouble and he was relieved by Leon Leslie. Leslie, under pressure from thealready full bases, walked in two runs. Jim Kerns, up for the second time that inning, stroked outanother double that drove in two runs. Closing with a Blast Chuck Taubenheim, Gary Moore, and MikeKirk closed out the inning by blasting Leslie for three hits which produced the same number of runs.SPC could collect five scattered hits off three Vik hurlers which consisted of two short hits o*f RogerRepoz; two off Doug Ringenbach, and one off Joe Fosnick. Said Coach Jack Hubbard, "We needed afew hits to win and we got them. The team will continue to improve with better weather, and more work outs."

The Vikings picked up three points on twosingles matches and a doubles match. Albers won his singles match 6-1, 6-8, 8-6. Chuck Bertrand wonhis singles match 10-8 and 6-3. Bertrand then combined with Bill Zagelow, and won their doubles match10-8 and 6-3. Zagelow, Thompson, and Giersh lost their singles and the combination of Thompson and Giersh failed to click in the doubles.

Many were soon to explore the Viking Union and the new men's dorms for the firsttime, and to marvel at the nearly completed Haggard Hall of Science. The wood and concrete skeletonsof the Co-op, gymnasium, cafeteria, and women's dorms, too, added to the scene as they . werebeginning to grow into their modern designs, i A portion of the carpet of luscious thick grass i had givenway to these new structures but where it remained the growth looked healthier than ever. The usual rather mild-to-cool summer "• weather, also, changed somewhat as the sunshine was sometimes tootempting for work. But studies could not be neglected for long. Fast-moving courses didn't usually allowtime for one to loaf. The changes were not only on the physical campus but also in the academicattitudes. Many of the courses were challenging and those who were endeavoring to project themselvesinto the academic emphasis were students of all levels. The total enrollment for the six-week session,nine-week session, and the workshops was 1, 783. Of this total, 868 were graduate students who were in their fifth year of study in the Master's Degree Program or in the Standard General Certificate Program.This showed that summer school was no longer mainly attended by returning teachers but now includeda number of upper division students and more than a hundred underclassmen. Some of these industriousstudents were looking forward to graduation in three years while others were enrolled mainly becausethey were unemployed and felt this quarter provided a good chance to get a little ahead. Perhaps somewanted summer time to study a certain subject more thoroughly than might be possible during theregular year, and then there were those who just enjoyed learning in the college atmosphere of youth,enthusiasm, and change. No doubt that special workshops and guest faculty members were the incentive which caused many to enroll. Whatever the reasons for attending summer session, it was certain thatstudents would return home with new impressions of Western-impressions of a forward-looking collegeaca-cemically and facility wise and impressions of a friendly and truly beautiful campus. ---------- Collegian - 1960 August 19 - Page 4 ---------- The word "reality"from his companion touched it off, but even as the other 's words droned on inconversation, his mind was overcome again by the images. The street lights, the sound of car horns, andthe neon signs seemed to move in and out of battle formations, drowning one another our in a din ofsound and light. And then the image was clear and it was real. The traveler stepped wearily from the bus, glad to be on the last legs of his journey, and started down the street to get a bite to eat, beforesleeping. Why he chose the eating place he did, was not even registered on his mind. He sat down in abooth to the side of the restaurant, ordered, then let his thoughts drift to the hum of the cooling machineand the clink of silverware against dishes. Soon, in mind, he became part of the atmosphere- slow, quiet, still, drifting tiredly beyond care. In fewer seconds than he could recount in awareness, harsh life surgedbursting into the lull. The glass doors were flung open as a group of teen -agers in jeans and bulkysweaters, laughing and talking, swept into the room. In a fraction of a second, the jukebox in the cornerjumped to life, the noise of the restaurant rose from a din to fast-moving sound--the swift chatter, ordersshouted, the crush of clothes against the booth opposite him. If he had not noticed why he rd chosen therestaurant before, he regretted the fact now. He resented the noise, his mind reacted swiftly to the chaos. His order came and grew cold as he watched the source of his irritation in angered observation. Then, inan instant, his whole existence reacted, moving into the chaos as swiftly and completely as theresentment had flooded over him. The thoughts now in his mind were frightening—they moved against his will, even leaping over his usual self. Had college changed him? What had he really been? What was henow? Why did he sit and stare fascinated, when even at the age he was now observing, his mind hadnever flitted among such quickly changing paths of carefree chatter, and meaningless and elusivethoughts? The words from the jukebox now demanded an audience. "So you think you're blue, a teen-ager feels it, too... " Nonsense. ---------- Collegian - 1960 August 19 - Page 5 ---------- But then, why nonsens? "Tell Laura I love her... tell Laura I need her... I want the whole world to knowthat she's my queen... " Maybe it was not the words. Something behind them lived as the music droned.Music... it was music, in spite of what musical authority decreed to his mind. In fact, musical authoritysuddenly had no right to decree. A-gain his mind leaped. Why was he agreeing with this obviouslyrepugnant situation?... and just as the thought took hold, a sudden terror seized him. The whole groupwas moving toward him. With-out benefit of an invitation they moved into his booth with a boldness, anaction so free of convention that his complete hold on reality collapsed in ruins around him, tumblingsuddenly, into... nowhere. In an instant his present was dead and there was no past nor any future.Awareness, reaction patterns, a whole world dissolved. He was alone with the present, the now. Later he discovered he was talking, laughing. Later, it seemed, he simply found himself and it was not strangenor were they. The words he heard coming from his lips were of Plato, Socrates, a recreation of Greece and Greek ideas pouring out of him To children. But now the ideas were alive as he'd never knownthem—they were moving out of his mind, into reality. In return he was listening to dreams, hopes thatwere tinged heavily with belief, fantastic ideas that he, never imagined would come from children. Then he wondered. Do children have a freedom like this that I have always struggled for and never found? Only an hour ago I knew what freedom meant. I knew so much. I was adept in so many situations. I wasexperienced in the world. I knew so many words that were so important. I had a grip on practical patterns of reaction, successful modes of thought. And so I did, but why are they not stupid to me now, thesechildren? And why am I calling them "they? " In that thought, one world completed a revolution thatcould never be measured by any science-or method. The battle formations of sound and light groupedand regrouped outside. The machines hummed as before. Silver clinked against dishes and the sound ofcar horns drifted hauntingly across city damp-darkness. Inside the cafe, six teen-agers now sat wherefive and one college student had met. Later it was claimed that six college students had talked whereone college student and five teen-agers had met. Five hours after stepping off the bus, the travelerwalked out of the restaurant, ft was dark, but the laughter and comments of the five in the car pullingaway from him jumped in that darkness, fti his room in the hotel, thoughts were flying through hjs mind.Was it from Jane Austin's Emma? One. half the world does not understand the jous of the other half...Something like that. When morning came it held a freshness. A kaleidoscope of ideas rushed through his mind. A colonnade, a first cause, a man in a toga asking questions,.. and from a moonlit temple,even, a goddess, moving in still darkl e whole group was moving toward him,.. "If Socrates hadasked me such idiotic questions, I would have considered him a menace, too. " In our world, thesethings are settled... " He turned to the companion. "Well, remember, he decided to drink thehemlock. " Behind the reply there was much less than the calm that sounded. Is it that reality is notjust my learned reality? Does everyone and everything hold a lesson, even for the educated? Who isnearer to reality—the adult who must know or the child who merely looks and wonders? Could I dreamlike that again—with no bounds? "If this material were not mere plays on words and questions that arereally immaterial in the light of today's progress and knowledge... Well, I'll memorize it. " And this time the companion received a reassuring comment. "Good for you... that's your answer. " Yes, hethought. Be sure you seek only one answer. One is sure and safe. Don't go beyond its world of one-ness or you will ask questions and perhaps dream. You will see that there are worlds beyond yourown. And that would be fatal and quite foolish to youi world. Only children think things like that andbelieve them. Someday maybe it will strike you that you only observe children; we all do, at a distance. Christ and Socrates talked with them. ---------- Collegian - 1960 August 19 - Page 6 ---------- Six images of a city, a town beside the sea, a dying hulk of buildings, a college poised on a hilltop'sbrow, Two fibers: young and old mixing in an afternoon's glow, distilled in an evening wind that crawlsalong the lakeshore touching a drop of ambrosia to the sleeper's Up... * I t i l l 5 i l l Hi fl1; attittttlfllr it itfturn I |r?mm § iin? fty^^a B£IOW THE HILL, MANY TASTES AT SUNSET... ^evening sunlight Iden drops, the silken top damp Wree the windl rains M4 splashing^ of dark, i This is a a grunt of disdain, a protest of wonder, a sleep in the summer sun; all to be capped by a dip in the day • when sunsetpushes the hours down to tumble bglow the bay. Some fading beams fall then through a glass of nectarsqueezed fmm the grapes of now, aged in the casks and dews of then, and fiellingham is tipped to tiredsummer /// gt;$ - ~ a taste of many wines in the evening. The stream of cars comes crawling along thecurve of 99 unprepared for the sudden angled turn, but in a moment the darkness moves over and lyingbelow, in a slow, deep 5M! drop is Bellingham, a small cluster of jewels, a lighted ribbon dippingthrough a hulk of darkened buildings—quiet, suffused with a rich blackness that hides the daytime'smany faces... Breezes that might have played on Olympus come dancing across the bay at noon,ruffling the water, slapping lightly at the thighs of sleeping timbers, coolly, capriciously slipping up anddown the cayons of buildings that used to hold a battlement up to dawn. Now the dentist progress hasripped the teeth from the old girl rs jaws; only the railroad tracks remain sunk deep in the gums of thepast. Atop the hill, in long shadows of dark green among the trees and walks, the college builds--rapidly,swiftly—as the students wander along in a summer haze. The old come chattering back from theoutside world, passing the new who live here on the brow of the hill where the world is not too close. Even the raucous horns of city traffic stay below in the heat of afternoon, caught a moment in a twist along99's stretch from the border to the state's largest city. Down there, beside the bay, is a waning hour Outof the East, a gentle breeze comes shuffling, touching, whipping bits of dust in the walker's eye. The sun lies hot between old images in this corner of the city's past; cascades of light fall through amberglasses, rush glinting over twisted gold to hang suspended in the noon -day glow of old, blue bottles."Antiques, " a city's junk, rough boardwalks; the past lies dying slowly in the heat of afternoon. A roar of speeding motors comes echoing into the coves, comes rushing across the boat docks along the lakepast which the water-skiiers fly, from which the swimmers leap and dive, and the summer homes dot thetwists of the shoreline... stretching, yawning Bellingham lazily spreads her toes and dreams... somenights she seems dead until the trucks roar through, the headlights beam and the traffic moves... ---------- Collegian - 1960 August 19 - Page 7 ---------- LAKEWOOD. . . Unlimited Potential for the Vertical Swamp of Yesteryear One of the bie questions which has plagued student government through the years has been the question of the property which theAssociated Students own on Lake Whatcom. This beautiful site has almost unlimited potential, but hasbeen relatively hidden under the thick underbrush and mud along the shore. The property sports a bathhouse, boat house, and two cabins. Two years ago. a modern float and dock were constructed forLakewood. In addition, rowboats and a canoe are available to students and faculty, by checking out keysat the desk of the Viking Union. The progress that was made in the property development was virtuallylost over the past year when no maintenance was done at Lakewood. Returning students weredisappointed to find grass and brush to shoulder height reaching to the lake shore itself. The SummerBOC was able to obtain the assistance of two students. Skip Brock and Roy Livermore, who wereinterested in working on the improvement of the property. Immediate maintenance included the manyrepairs needed, as well as mowing the brush and grass, and cutting a supply of fire wood. The past twoweeks, a bull-dozer has been working at Lakewood, installing new roads and terracing areas. Severaltrees were removed to allow the afternoon sun to reach the beach. The new system of roads will open upareas of Lakewood which have been previously inaccessible. It was the intent of the planners that the road through the property will allow the students and faculty to use the large areas of beach and woods forpicnics, etc. The cleared areas will be devoted to greatly increased parking, and the terraces will be usedfor game areas. There will be one entrance and one exit road with several parking areas. The Board ofControl will pass on recommendations to the regular Legislature and to next year's BOC, providing for thecontinuation of the improvement projects. If plans are carried out, the "vertical swamp" of yesteryear haspassed and Western students will have one of the finest resorts in the area.

They ended up at places like Lakewood where lush shadows of talltrees outlined newly finished bulldozer work and cool water overhung by branches of wooded stretches.Others who liked crowds, headed for places like Bloedel-Donovan Park where the grass and waterteemed with people. And there were those who just enjoyed driving through stretches of road whereinland lakes poked through the trees.

Each place we go we like a little better. We have found ourselves in the midst of a life much different from our own, but loving every minute of it, Mexico city is a huge place Of 4 1 /2 million people. One of the first things we noticed was the contrast in architecture.They have the modern (even more so than our own) and the old Spanish style side by side. This holdstrue of the rich alongside the poor. The lack of a middle class of people is very apparent. We did manyinteresting things in Mexico City. One Sunday we had a special treat. In the morning we went to theballet which was Native Indian dancers doing "Folklore of Mexico. " After the ballet we left by bus for thelovely flowering gardens of Xochimilco. There were beautiful but the traffic jam of boats was terrible-passage was almost impossible. The rest of the afternoon was spent at the bull fights. We had front rowseats which was a little close if you were sensitive to blood. After the third bull were rained out and themajority of us left for home. Excitement in our lives occured last Tuesday evening. Our hotel faces a large plaza. Demonstrators composed of about 200 students gathered for an anti- American rally in favor ofCastro. They yelled "go home Yankees, " and carried large signs. Three of us were in the lobby of thehotel when the students tried to break in. They threw rocks through the glass doors. The iron gates to the hotel were locked. In talking to a student from the University we found that this is a very small minority and is led by Communist agitators. The group was broken up by the police. Acapulco was almost toohot to be comfortable. We took a safari into the jungle and saw an Indian village. Taxco is lovely, thequaint picturesque buildings fitting into the surrounding hillsides and making a breathtaking view frombelow the city. Our group fell in love with Taxco the minute we saw it. All the houses are of stucco withred tile roofs. ---------- Collegian - 1960 August 19 - Page 10 ---------- John Schermer-horn, BOC Member Clashes Aside. .. John Schermerhorn, the last member of the BOC that the Summer Collegian will interview is a Bel-lingham resident with an already completed speechmajor. Presently a graduate student at Western, he is now working to finish his Master of Educationdegree. Schermerhorn, well known in the Music Department, a member of Pi Kappa Delta and bothdrama honoraries, will be remembered for his recent direction of Tennessee Williams' play, "SuddenlyLast Summer. " Although prominent in drama, active in student government, and a member of the UnionBoard, Schermerhorn still finds time to enjoy his large record collection and write occasionally for theschool paper. Questioned about the Summer Board of Control, Schermerhorn commented, "it isimpossible to accomplish anything of magnanimous order in six weeks. We have worked more quicklythan the regular Legislature though, since although we are not completely devoid of personal conflicts,we are able to set aside personality clashes in the American tradition and do that which is necessary. I would say that the BOC keywords have been "compromise and tolerance.

FROM THE COLLEGIAN Liz's Rousing Stories, and... We have worked with a limitedbudget and a limited staff this summer, but hope we have ac-p complished something through theCollegian: the goal at which we aimed was to publish a good campus magazine and it is the summerstudent who determines whether or not we have done this. But regardless of the measure of oursuccess, we have had a good summer with this publication, mainly because of the people who workedto put it out. The work of Ken Robertson, photographer and layout man, was unsurpassable while PatHawn's reliability as staff secretary and reporter was often reassuring. The art work done by VirginiaHennis and Stacy Tucker was used to add variety and life to the pages, as were the rousing stories of Liz Sund-strom, off-again-on-again reporter. Sue Wheeler, Jane Brand and Kitty Melton covered everythingfrom BOC members to A-L releases, and Wayne Ehlers handled the finances. It was through thesepeople and through contributors such as John Schermerhorn, Doug Simpson, Carolyn Berets and Jack Raboum that the Collegian made it to the stands each Friday.

" "American peopleeverywhere have little conception of the tremendous African development in the past 15 years. " Thesewere the words spoken by Bernard W. RUey, Western's visiting geography instructor. Riley's home,Southern Rhodesia, is located south of the Belgian Congo and just north of the Union of South Africa.Riley is a foreign exchange student on a Fulbright scholarship at the University of Indiana, where he isworking on his doctorate. In Southern Rhodesia, the English-born educator teaches geography in a senior high school and teacher training college. After his education in England's public schools, Riley went tothe Universities of Manchester, Cambridge and London. He came to Africa when he was assigned to theColonial Education Service in Tanganyika. Dissatisfied with the British policy in Tanganyika, Rileyvoluntarily "jumped" to Southern Rhodesia, an independent country since 1923. He makes his home inBulawayo, scene of recent political disturbances. Bulawayo, incidentally, means "place of slaughter. "The recent riots are the first in 64 years, according to Riley. "The problem in Southern Rhodesia is notone of social discontent as in other African countries, " commented Riley, "but rather one of 'the waves of disturbance' from the nearby Congo echoed by an illegal political party. This party is led by a fewunscrupulous agitators who haven't the proper education to use their power. " Southern Rhodesia is awealthy country; one with great resources from mineral exports. Great riches come from vast mines ofcopper, gold and chrome, as well as other minerals such as lithium, columbite, and uranium ore whichare vital to atomic energy projects. The high economy of the nation has a positive effect on its education, which is based on the British system. The country has the highest proportion of African schoolpopulation of any country on the continent. Education is free and compulsory up to 16 years of age andincludes opportunity to become qualified for further study at the University of Salisbury, as well as otherAfrican and British universities. This higher education is largely at the government's expense. The greaterpart of study is done in agriculture, social studies and administration. "Cur government is one in whichthe natives have as much or more representation as the Europeans, " claimed Riley. "Many coloreddoctors, lawyers, teachers, etc., are active in government. That is why it is called a racial partnership. "The colored people number roughly 8 1/2 million, and outnumber the Europeans by 12 or 14 to 1. InSouthern Rhodesia we have a different connotation for the word colored, " explained Riley. "There is such significant minority groups of Eurafrican people that the Cape coloured group are socially distinct fromboth African and Europeans.

Four outstanding musicians met at an informal musicale in 1953, and anew ensemble, the Clare-mont Quartet, was formed. In the five years since their New York debut, thegroup has expanded its activities to include extensive concertizing both in the United States an4 a-br»ad. During the summer of 1960, the Quartet ;s schedule includes appearances at the VancouverFestival, as well as a third session in residence at Pennsylvania State University, where a busy schedule includes concerts, public rehearsals, master classes, and lectures, along with individual instruction, This is to be followed by appearances throughout Europe, after which they will return to embark on theiryearly transcontinental tour of the United States and Canada. Through their educational projects, theClare-mont Quartet has introduced audiences of all ages and backgrounds to the satisfactions ofchamber music and thus provided a unique contribution to the musical scene. At the University ofDelaware, the quartet was engaged in a special two-year project to introduce the entire scope of stringquartet literature to non-music majors, a course which combined lectures with demonstrations andwas a success. They have also given over 500 children's concerts and participated for three years in an Adult Education Program from which the Voice of America chose the Quartet as one of its features forbroadcasts around the world. The members, who pride themselves in their sincere and honestadmiration for each other's musical talents, are well justified in this faith and trust, for each of theindividuals has brought into the quartet a magnificent background of training, devotion, and experience.The unification of all these qualities led one of the reviewers to remark, "We are grateful to the ClaremontQuartet for an evening of masterly devotion to music itself. Such devotion requires, besides an implacable sense of formal relations, the humility to efface itself; so we have the sense that this quartet exists asone instrument. We do not separate the parts in our minds. " This group, sponsored by the Artist andLecture Series, will present a program of classic and contemporary works, August 10, 8:15 p. m., inthe College Auditorium. ---------- Collegian - 1960 August 5 - Page 6 ---------- PACKAGE OR COIN OPERATION 2 4 - H O U R S E L F - S E R V I CE WASH 2 5 C DRY 10C FREESOAP CORNWALL LAUNDROMAT 2200 CORNWALL PHONE RE 3-9708 Star Rexall Drug Co.Prescriptions Toiletries OPEN 9 TO 9 — SUNDAYS 6 TO 9 STATE AND HOLLY RE 3-1213 FREEDELIVERY IN COLLEGE AREA NEW P I C K - U P STATION AT CAMPUS GROCERY Corner Oakand High STUART J GIBBS1 DuPont Shoe Service 1301 Dupont St. RE 3-3251 VISUAL EXAMINATION CONTACT LENSES AND ANALYSES VISUAL TRAINING Ingwerson-Malloney DR.

FREE ADMISSION — (COURTESY OF ASB STUDENTGOVERNMENT) ---------- Collegian - 1960 August 5 - Page 7 ---------- Liz Sundstrom, BOC Member LAST REFUGE... Liz Sundstrom, sophomore from Chinook, serves onthe BOC in the capacity of ASB secretary. Though Liz is working toward degrees in both liberal arts andeducation, she has managed to be active in school affairs, as one of the Collegian's top writers and as amember of the AWS Commission. This girl, who claims she wants to "live, live, live" cannot be dubbedcontrary for she says she is "all for Lakewood, the 'Stereo Set and the Colle - ian. " Liz went on to saythat the Compatibility Club (a phrase she coined) should hold a convention at North Beach, the generaltheme being "Student Government—The Last Refuge of the Norm Deviant." Liz's goal for the summerconcerns the ASB records. "The minutes have no plot, no suspense, and no color. I'd like to adaptthem to the Collegian style on a modified scale. I feel that the man who painted the Collegian office thatatrocious orange believed that bright, lively colors are conducive to bright, lively writing. However,somewhere the theory falls short, and often regular year Collegian articles are not bright and lively, butmerely garish. Therefore, this summer's BOC minutes may be stylized in a "watered" Collegianfashion. " To the query, "why are you in favor of the Stereo?" Liz answered, "A great many students oncampus for the past year have been eager to install a stereo set in the music room. Unfortunately, theregular year Legislature, because of a deficit budget and dissension among the members, was unableto agree upon any set. This summer the BOC has both the necessary funds and incentive to buy astereo system. I'm all for buying one while we've still got em. " She commented further that "the summerBOC is hoping to set a precedent for the regular year Legislature, showing that student government canfunction smoothly and effectively without 'back-stabbing' or 'ego-bruising. " Finally, she stated that she'sall for appropriating more funds for the Collegian budget,. since "to give adequate coverage to school-activities, the college paper should be able to afford to give important events the attention in print theydeserve. Presently the editor is often forced to ignore some activities and give others scanty coverage. "BOC REPORT Room-Mates on the Track Chug, chug, toot, toot, off we go! The Board of Controlchugged off with Dennis Fish accusing his engineering room-mate Jack Ra-bourn of "railroading" throughthe stereo system. Last week, Fish was thwarted by parliamentary procedure from including hisfeelings in the minutes. On a roll call vote, the Board supported the inclusion opposed only by Moodyand Ehlers. Jack Rabourn announced that seven tons of rock, two truck loads of sand, cement, and abulldozer for road work at Lakewood. Dennis Fish moved that the facilities Committee be given a $150requisition for the installation of a plumbing system at the college property. Wayne Ehlers wasappointed chairman of a committee to select films for Summer Quarter 1961. Serving with Ehlers areBurgess and Sundstrom. Rabourn informally introduced the first of the budgets to be approved for nextyear. After changes, the board agreed to accept tentatively the budget for the Union Building. Rabournalso introduced items to be included in the ASB Administration fur next summer. Doc Moody suggestedto an enthusiastic board that they meet at Lakewood again, August 1, to take advantage of the sunnyweather and of course, to "acquaint the faculty advisors, Dr. Jones and Dr. Flora, with plans for propertyimprovement. " Chairman Rabourn closed the meeting, and speaking for the entire group, welcomed thenew faculty advisor, Dr. Jones, to the board.

Isn't that nice. Tonight the Legislature decided to do a little investigating about theCollegian. Isn't that cool? In my own warped little mind, things just don't look right with the Legislature.Too many clods. Tonight, a big secret thing happened. It was decided and planned, beforehand. The Collegian would have to be investigated. Why? BFXAUSE THE LEGISLATURE DIDN'T LIKE THETRUTH ABOUT THEMSELVES. In my opinion, for what little its worth, there are only two Legislatorsin the whole big pile that are worth their salt. They are Dodd and Barnhart. Thev seem to be the creatorsof all of the important issues. They are the intellectuals who use their intellect. I want you to understandthat I have only been to one meeting. I have nothing against investigating the Col-they going toinvestigate? De- Witt's morals? They can say that the Collegian is biased. Why not? It probably is. If you don't like it why don't you say something about it? Why iust let things go? Write, I know that as muchof it as is possible will be printed. WHY DO YOU TUST SIT THERE AND LET THINGS LIKE THECOLLEGIAN AND THE LEGISLATURE RUSH BY? If last year's Legislature were all here, theywould ooint and laugh at this year's "children." I went to the meeting. I heard them talk. Maybe theconversation was a little above my head, but if these are our leaders of the future, I think I'll run my catfor President. You should have been th^r^. Barnhart (all within his own rights and the rights of thestudents) started the whole thing off with a lengthy criticism of the Collegian. People will laugh at menow and it will be said that I was too evasive of the issue, and that I didn't get the facts right. Morepower to them. What I'm trying to do is to arouse just a little interest in you. If this gets printed and youread it, think about it, you're probably reasonably intelligent, just come Page 2 EDITORIAL Can theLegislature Regulate Freedom? By BOB STEVENSON A little man sat surrounded by his presidentialbubble and thought. He thought about his position and how he might accomplish the momentous taskof making a name for himself which would go down in history. The press was a nasty thorn in his side,pointing out to the public what he and his Legislators were not doing. The public must nof know that hisadministration was a do nothing administration, he thought, and he must put a stop to it. An idea came to him, a great bubble-bursting idea. There is no such thing as freedom of the press because the pressrepresents the students. Another little man sat contemplating his name and history, but he had a plan.He would back a candidate for president in the next election. In that way, he thought, his ideas would live on another year. This little man was also a member of the president's legislative body and the thorn of the press was in his side too. If they don't print what we tell them to, we will take away their money, hethought. And so it happened that day that president Bob and Legislator Mike went to the Editor. Thelines had been well rehearsed in their minds as president Bob began with the statement, you don't reallyhave freedom of the press because you represent the students. Legislator Mike, thinking of the budget,said, don't cut off the arm that feeds you. Together they declared that a lot of the articles were in badtaste, especially the Legislature stories. Before leaving, Legislator Mike stated that the entire matterwould be brought before the Legislature on Wednesday. In the first place, they (the two of them)equivocate bad with wrong, which in turn refers to something they don't like, and therefore anything theydon't like is in bad taste. Secondly, the newspaper is a student publication and written by students whoattend classes, pay fees, do all the things a student does, and have an idea of the significance of freestudent expression. In other words the freedom of the press is the voice of the people. So Mr. Presidentand Mr. Legislator, you will find that history has a way of bursting your bubble. to the next meeting. Nomatter what kind of a student you are, you have a right to say whatever you want to say and don't letthem give you any of that "educated gibberish." F personally, believe all of the past stories about theLegislature. They must be true after what I've seen tonight. Come to the Collegian office and bring yourwritten opinions with you. WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN In my opinion (again), theCollegian has been biased. Sure W.U.S. is a good thing, but do you remember how they collectedtheir money in the classroom? In our class, it was pure unadulterated browbeating. I think W.U.S. is a good organization, nevertheless. W h i ch proves nothing. I had better quit now for my mad is wearingoff. Budd Morisette February 12, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 12 - Page 3 ---------- D'ANDREA SPEAKS Tchaikovsky's Fourth At Dinner? The speaker came into 11-A, put several sheetsof paper on the table, then stopped and looked cautiously at the group before him. An air of tensenesshung over 11-A. The audience seemed nervous, the speaker hesitant. "I find it difficult to talk lightlyabout such a thing as my philosophy of life . . ." So Dr. Frank D'Andrea did not talk lightly. I Dream It,Eat It, Sleep It . . . "I would like to consider myself a man of the arts—man the artist, man the rationalbeing—the esthetic is the most essential to me. I think I dream it, I eat it, I sleep it, I even worship it,though I'm a god-loving, god-fearing Christian . . ." Dr. D'Andrea was reading from a paper he hadwritten beforehand. At times he would abandon it, pause a moment, ignore the paper. Then he wouldread again. Perhaps it was his tone. No one got up and walked out. The tenseness drifted. "I had beenworking for a long time on this college's statement on what its aims would be. I looked down one dayand said to myself—my gosh, here is my philosophy of life . . ." "It took the faculty two quarters toarrive at five statements . . ." The college, he said, had five aims: to give the student ("not just thecollege student, but the professor-student, too") always the background of the major disciplines ofhuman philosophies, (2) to try to experience the different modes of thought in the differentdisciplines, (3) to stimulate a high response to creativity, to beauty, to the esthetic, (4) to arrive at aninter- relation of the various disciplines, and (5) to help a student develop his philosophy of life. . . .'I'm Not a Barbarian7 "I try to know life more through the arts and religion than through rational thought . . . Man cannot be explained only by the rational . . . The esthetic comes in here—it is a mode or way ofexperiencing life; not just looking at empirical data. I hope I'm not a barbarian, but rational not a first part. First, I believe in the esthetic." The presentation was fluid now, neither tense, nor dramatic. The wordswere quietly spoken; organized around the prepared statement, changed now and then to fit the mood ofthe listeners. "I've had a lot of infatuations in my life—with cars, skiing, women and / believe in theesthetic" thought plays a third part in my life, drink—but then, whoosh, they were gone. I found thatwithout knowledge there could be almost no human living or human experience worthwhile to man . . ." Then he spoke of himself as a professor of music. "I guess I had a strong faith in the ministry ofmusic— I wanted to bring esthetics to young boys and girls. I've always had that visionary goal aboutmy art; wanting to bring it to people. Man responds to music, or to beauty, to put it more basic than that . . ." Then he quoted from other men to illustrate what he believed. " 'Man cannot be explained only by the rational.' 'Art and only art can educate the sensibilities of man . . .'" The Pictures in the Cave Thelast statement was the key to the presentation. "You may not agree with that statement, but I believe it . . . The truth to which I hold most strongly is that experienced through the esthetics. Man has alwayshad this need for beauty. The pictures in the cave came before any mechanical invention— evenbefore language." Then he answered questions. "How many students have you really reached —do youever know that?" student Bob Sandal asked, after a series lead-up to his main question. "The amazingrevelations that come to you—'I've gone up to Vancouver and seen Don Giovanni' or T don't beat my wife so often because of Beethoven'—I guess they indicate that there is some response, I'm happy to say." To Eat or Listen What about the way we treat music? "America seems to be treating music now as abackground to everything. Should one listen to Tchaikovsky's Fouth while eating dinner? I either like toeat or listen. It's like cashing a check to Claire de Lune! But to be worthwhile, there has to be a response on the individual's part." Dr. D'Andrea had not shouted or been heatedly challenged. Students leftquietly. Two things were obvious at meeting's end. Dr. D'Andrea believed foremost in the esthetic. Hehad come prepared to talk of his art, and belief. At 5 p.m. the room was peaceful. That was the word touse, one thought, as he sat and wondered for a moment afterward. The tenseness had driftedcompletely. UGLIEST MAN Tolo King Gets Thumbs Down Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the ugliestman of all?

February 12,1960 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 3 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 12 - Page 4 ---------- ONSTAGE AND BACKSTAGE AT THE PLAY The Sounds Are Muffled and Far Away By KARENBAINTER "Once every four years a production like this should be done. They are fun to do, but they arevery hard work. Most people don't realize that comedy is much harder to play than tragedy." Dr. Gregory sat discussing the musical comedy, "Where's Charley," which will be given this Thursday and Friday.Gregory went on to say, "Western has never done a contemporary musical before . . . This is one ofthe older farces. It's based on "Charley's Aunt" one of the most farcical of farces." Although unifying thearts of singing, dancing, orchestra music and acting is very difficult. Gregory thinks that it'simportant. He is very complimentary about the job graduate student, Bob Duvall, has done with theorchestra and chorus, and the work English and French professor Gerald Cohen has done on the danceroutines. Talking of Ray Bolger's famous portrayal of "Charley," Gregory stated, "We're not emulatingRay Bolger's style . . . we have different ideas on how the role should be played . . ." He then summedup his feelings saying, "It's a show the audience will enjoy thoroughly—It's fun all the way through." Tea With the Mad Hatter Meanwhile, the scenery stands backstage, skeletons around which theshow develops. A huge brown tree trunk with three large branches and deep ridges in its synthesizedtrunk, dominates the area. The eerie shadows and intriguing forms of scenery flats line the wall.Curtains and cables hang in well planned mazes from the grid above. Little blocks of wood and paperscraps are scattered on the shop floor —leftovers of creation and construction. The sounds from thestage are muffled and far away. D o w n in t h e b a s e m e nt a dressmaker's dummy s i t s by thesewing machines with two squares of pinked turquoise draped on its neck. Costumes recline on hangerson a rack, and a table nearby is laden with tissues, hair spray and makeup. Out of these manycomponent parts a play will emerge—from Mark Flanders' scenery, from the costumes Betty SueRitchie and Joan Kulbitski have worked on, from the actors that Dr. Gregory has coached and criticized,from Bob Duvall's work rehearsing and re-rehearsing the orchestra and chorus, and from the dances thathave been worked out by Gerald Cohen. Beginning with Brassett, the butler (Rich Stephens) dusting, the story quickly comes to the surface and floats gaily along accompanied by the different songs anddances. From the 'By god, I mean it . . .! prettyness of Kitty and Jack's love song, "My Darling," throughthe exotic dance-accompanied rhythms of "Per-nambuco," to the miserly ditty by Spettigue, "Lucia," the pace never slackens. Incidents are varied and funny— A tea party (which may be said to represent the Mad Hatter's in some ways) the stuffy money grubbing Spettigue with a gleam in his eye romping tackand forth through the garden after a feminine attired Charley, and the women's room which Charleywas forced to stay in before the dance. All these help to make up the play. With the lame excuses thatare quickly made to account for the absence of either Charley or his aunt, with Tom Aston's song anddance solo, "Once in Love with Amy," and with the many other things that make the play what it is,Gregory's prediction for success should bs correct. THE PLAYERS Then, A Booming Voice From theorchestra pit the piano clinked out its message; the people on stage responded, singing lustily. A doorentering onto the auditorium opened and two of the chorus members walked in, late. The show stopped.Dead silence. Then the booming voice of Gregory moved across the stillness. "By god, when I saysomething, I mean it. There is no excuse for being late to a rehearsal." He did not raise his voice buteveryone involved in the rehearsal of 'Where's Charley' heard and took no';e. Judith Alexander, dressed in blue, stood beside Gregory in the aisle and motioned the pianist to resume playing. Her head heldhigh, Judith viewed the stage action with her customary quizical expression, appraising the cast in hercapacity as student director. 'I Hate It All . . . A scene ended and Jim Hamilton, one of the leads, satback for a moment of brief relaxation. "I hate it all." Clear eyed and candid, he vehemently denouncedthe play, the cast and the rehearsal. Many long and grueling hours of repeating his part over and overwere telling their tale in the momentary expression of contempt on his thin featured face. Then a voicecalled him to the stage and a light of enthusiasm in his eyes belied his words. He turned back with asmile and added sheepishly, "but I love it." On stage he joined a group of decorative figures—LynHopkins in black leotards and a below-the-hip-length orange bulky knit; a blonde in tight green toreadors; Cal Graham standing in his usual ape-like stance; a girl in a Sigma Nu sweatshirt; a skinny boy inbermudas—an incongruous group with one thing in common, dedication. A dedication that is perhapsbest typified by Tom Aston, the lead in the Page 4 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN February 12, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 12 - Page 5 ---------- musical. Appearing in his thirteenth play here, curly-haired Aston is able to say with complete conviction, "The theatre is my life." Standing in the wings, awaiting his cue, Tom referred to the play as "electric . .. It draws ASTON AND Romping through the garden . . . everybody into it." His mobile face intent,large brown eyes holding a hint of a smile, Aston added, "and its got a special meaning for me; it's mylast appearance here." Next quarter Tom will go to Detroit with Dr. Gregory, who is planning to open anexperimental theatre there, and next fall Aston will be one of a carefully selected group of studentsadmitted for study at the New York Academy of Dramatic Arts. Then a day will come when he will becast in an off-Broadway play, as all the Academy students are, and the test of of talent will be at hand."If I pass it . . .," his voice trailed off and he flashed a brief smile, then turned and walked on stage. Long Hair Swinging Free At the piano Sharon Minge struck a note and Tom burst into song, joining GladysMacLean, who portrays his girl-friend Amy, in the musical. Gladys turned to him, sang through her part,and then danced off-stage, her longhair swinging freely at her slim shoulders. She folded herself into achair and rested for a moment; then her alert ears tuned in to the noises from the stage and she liftedherself up, held her head in her hands for a second and went out. In the audience the few scatteredobservers saw a gaily smiling figure, voice fresh and gay, as Gladys Mac- Lean left her own wearinessbehind to become Amy. Marsha Whitchurch, as Kitty, joined her on stage, filling the air with herbreezily confident voice, as her small red-headed figure romped across stage. went virtually unnoticed byTom and Gladys as they once again attempted to capture the precise rhythms of their duet. Now theirtiming coincided and Duvall voiced his approval, ran through the number once more and dismissed themwith a, "better, kids, but keep at it." Then he turned his attention to a scene between Jean Spickermanand Dave Hubert, her stage suitor. Her usual amiable self, Jean, eyes sparkling, threw herself into thepart and Dave caught the spark, setting the mood for romance with his mellow singing voice. EatingGarlic for Love Scenes Dr. Gregory took over then, running through some of the stage businessbetween Tom (dressed in female garb) and John Schermerhorn, who is enthusiastically attempting tomake love to him. Soon it was ten-thirty and rehearsal was over. Bob Burgoyne stumbled off stage,popping a piece of gum into his mouth, and dramatically asked, "Where does appendicits hit you?"Everyone takes a moment to be solicitous and Gregory orders him to see a doctor, "We can't have yougetting sick." The conversation takes another bent as someone accuses someone else of eatinggarlic before love scenes. "I'll pay you back," is the playful warning. The tensions are relived in heartylaughter, and everyone goes home. SCHERMERHORN . . . . after Charley A voice cut into the action,calling for a repeat. This was Bob Duvall, the music director. "You can't count, either?" The quietsarcasm in his voice GREGORY, FLANDERS, THE PLAYERS 'Comedy is much harder to play thantragedy . February 12, 1960 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 5 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 12 - Page 6 ---------- LEGISLATURE A Consistent, Friendly Discussion The Legislature met last Wednesday. They also metthe Wednesday before that. They'll probably meet next Wednesday, too. If nothing else can be saidabout the Legislature, at least they are consistent. Last week they spent two hours being consistent.They accomplished absolutely nothing. The majority of this time was spent in friendly discussionconcerning the position of the Student Union Board in relation to student government. It appeared to beJack Rabourn, Union Board Chairman, against the Legislature, as Rabourn was questioned as to whatthe actual motives of the Union Board were. Some of the Legislators seemed to think that the UnionBoard was attempting to become an autonomous organization completely separated from the control ofstudent government. Lew Curran felt that this could be curbed by carefully tying the Union Board to the Legislature's shoe strings. Rabourn felt this shouldn't be done. Apparently the rest of the Legislature feltnothing. After much bickering the Legislature decided they knew nothing about the subject so theyreferred the matter to Mike Barnhart's By-Laws Revision Committee for further review. This seemed toplease all concerned. ASB President Bob Gustavson was happy. The Legislature was happy. Rabournwas happy. Just one big happy family. UNION BOARD Press Wins Point Which half of the Union Boardwas the maddest? Was it the half in favor of putting down in writing, a policy concerning whether or notopen meetings in the VU Building should be subject to coverage by the press, or was it the half that didn't feel any such policy was necessary? The tempers were glowing and the words were flying asthe Board discussed this matter. It was finally decided that the Board would "point out" to the press,the common courtesy towards public meetings, this courtesy being, asking the speaker if he may bequoted, before printing his quotes. Less heated discussions on less controversial subjects werealso held by the Viking Union Board at its Monday night meeting. After a lengthy, but orderlydiscussion of the offers made by B P and Canteen for the furnishing of the Recreation room, it wasmoved, seconded, and carried to accept B P's offer. The Chair asked for suggestions from: the Board for an additional faculty advisor to serve on the VU Board. Several faculty Zentner and Bridgeman Meditate Favor Press Freedom members were suggested. The meeting was adjourned directly after a plea wasmade by Chairman, Jack Rabourn, that the committees of the Board start functioning as committees,and not merely as a "one man show" with the Chairman doing all of the work. THE WRITER Expressive, Experimental Writing The role of the college creative writing magazine on Western's campus has beenlikened to that of an ugly sister: present, but hesitantly acknowledged and reluctantly accepted. Thissituation is unfortunate for several reasons, not the least of which is the vital function which The Writerperforms for both writer and audience. For the writer it is an outlet and something of a reward for hardwork. For the audience it should mean the opportunity to extend their ordinary reading horizons andshare the visions and comments of their contemporaries. The fact that many of these writers are being published for the first time is no measure of their abilities. There is, in fact, a fresh quality in their workthat many professionals have lost or have sacrificed in order to be currently acceptable on the masscommercial market. Unhampered by Politics And Current Taste In a particularly unique situation,unhampered by the pressures of advertising, politics and current taste, The Writer is in a position toencourage truly expressive, experimental writing, as well as conventional forms. This means that,excepting a few commercial magazines and the "little" magazines, the campus creative writingpublication is one of the few distinctly literary ventures left. This freedom' does not insure literaryexcellence, but it does leave the door open to those who would use words for the pure joy of creating,who write with the eye attuned not for profit but focused, instead, on ideas, rhythms, sounds anduniqueness of expression. Novelty Cannot Save a Story At one extreme, experimentation blurs intoobscurity and communication is lost. When this happens, novelty alone cannot save a story. So when we say "experimental," we mean experimental insofar as originality of form or expression is employed todevelop an idea, person or situation. And herein lies a dual responsibility. Just as the writer devotes time to composition, so should the reader feel the responsibility of reaching out to meet the writer, insteadof waiting to be slapped in the face. The Writer hopes to provide a balance between the experimentaland the conventional, presenting Western students with good writing which is both stimulating andentertaining. In the past, student response, both productively and in terms of sales, has been a sadreflection on what is not being done at Western. Manuscripts may be deposited in the box provided inthe main hall of the Library or in Room 1, downstairs in the SUB. Closing Date Is April 1 A Writerrepresentative will be present daily, from 3 to 4, in Room 1 to answer any questions you may have.Page 6 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN February 12, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 12 - Page 7 ---------- ARTIST AND LECTURER Marxism a Fraud Moscow, Berlin, Budapest, Middle East, Asia, Far East . . .all were included on the agenda of John Morley's 22nd news beat around the world. Morley will beguest on the A and L Series next Tuesday, February 16, at 10 o'clock. Morley should be a reassuringchange from those who predict the world's destruction, if one can judge from his statements in a recentpress-preview of his talk that "I have been covering global headlines since 1931 . . . but I have neverobserved as many prospects for world betterment as I did on this recent trip. Of course I saw areas ofcrisis . . . but unfortunately these are better advertised in the news-headlines. In my talk, I will prove witheyewitness facts that the prospects of peace are far greater than the prospects of war." Pasternak andDr, Zhivaoo While in Russia, Morley surprised the world by secretly gaining an interview with BorisPasternak, the author of "Dr. Zhivago," who has been under house arrest and forbidden by the Kremlin to see anyone since the book was released. In his talk, Morley will reveal for the first time the completetale of his exploit in foiling the Soviet Secret Police and his talk with the man who dared to call Marxism"the greatest fraud of our times," from the inside of Russia. Probably due to his reliance on longestablished sources of facts among business men, educators, religious leaders and men-of-the-streetplus the opinions of such personalities as Khruschev, Nehru, de Gaulle and others; Morley has been therecipient of such awards as the Daughters of the American Revolution Award for "Americanism andJournalistic distinction" and the Los Angeles C i ty Council Award for "Brilliant and MeritoriousReporting." WUS DRIVE Returns Short of Goal "This year's WUS drive is predicted to top all previoussuch drives held on our campus," stated co-chairman Roger Hyppa. Last year's total of $818.55 was thelargest amount previously collected, surpassing the 1958 total of $818.54 by 1 cent Hyppa feelscertain that the total this year will be even higher as over $700 has been totaled to date, with returns stillbeing tabulated. Although the returns will again fall February 12, 1960 short of the previously set$1,500 goal. Hyppa considers this year's drive as the most successful ever held on our campus, andextends his thanks on behalf of the committee to the faculty, staff, and students for their support inmaking the drive a success. ELECTIONS President, Veep and Four Legislators To Be Elected ByGARY ODEGAARD During the Winter Quarter of 1959 two general elections were held to declare awinner in the race for ASB President. The result, a "write-in" candidate backed by the ASB President,beat a regular candidate! So here we are again. Winter Quarter 1960, with another election coming up.Will the 1959 political situation possibly happen again? Such a situation stimulates interest, but many people feel that the notoriety of this type of election is harmful. The ASB President, ASB VicePresident, and four at-large ASB Legislature positions will be elected March 2, but if enoughcandidates apply to warrant a primary election, it will be held Tuesday, Feb. 23. The primary will narrowthe field of candidates to three each for ASB President and Vice President, and to a total of eight for thefour Legislature positions. The filing period opened last Tuesday morning and will close at 4 p.m.Tuesday, Feb. 16. Application forms may be obtained at the Student Union Building information desk,through the offices of the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women, of from the elections committeechairman, Jack Sigurdson. An ASB Presidential candidate must have completed six quarters of collegework by fall quarter, at least three quarters at WWC, An accumulative GPA of 2.4 is required, and aclassload of at least 12 quarter hours must be carried to be eligible for any office. On the ballot will alsobe a proposed Constitutional amendment stating that an ASB Vice Presidential candidate must havecompleted four quarters of college work, three of which are at WWC. A student who wins the VicePresidency under these conditions may take office next fall if this amendment is passed. JackSigurdson—an election chairman with new and invigorating ideas— has called for a "CandidatesRally" in the main floor lounge, Thursday, Feb. 18 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. and again from 2 p.m. to 3p.m. at which all candidates will be expected to present themselves to the electorate. The two differenttimes are so that more students will be able to attend. Each candidate will be alloted an equalamount of time (probably two minutes) in which to speak on his or her behalf. Dave Davenport will serveas master of ceremonies for the two programs which will be piped to the Coffee Lounge over the loudspeaker system. liilllllllll 'Well Sid, if I can keep my umbrella dry, my grades up, and the new by-taw men in line, I'm a cinch for vice-president."

Fridaynight, WWC posted their first win over the Eastern Washington College Savages on the EWC court since Jack Hubbard has been at the helm of the Viking five. The Viks racked up a 60-54 win over a stubbornEastern crew (which knocked over the highly touted Lutes from PLC on Saturday). EWC earned a 76-74victory in overtime over the Lutherans). Ron Crowe led the Viking scoring with 27 points, Jim Greergrabbed 19 rebounds, and Gary Mose came off the bench to spark Page 10 DERM CUNNINGHAM . . .Scores Two at Eastern Western's uphill battle. The Savages had a comfortable lead early in the game,but EWC made the slow climb up, and eventually came out with the win. Crowe Sets Scoring RecordSaturday night in Spokane, Crowe set the new WWC scoring record when he bombed in 40 points. Theprevious record was 33, set by Leroy Nelson in 1957. Herm Washington snagged 11 WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN rebounds, and again, Gary Mose came off the bench to throw some foreoffensive thrust into the Vik attack. WWC led throughout the game, and came out with an 83-74victory. Hanging From the Rafters These two Western victories, coupled with the PLC upset, set thestage for the climatic weekend home-and-home series with PLC this weekend. Tonight, Westerntravels to Tacoma, seeking to avenge their earlier defeat there by the Lutes. The PLC crew is notoriously tough on their own home ground but the Vikings are going down there to notch another "first"—theirfirst victory on the Lute home court. Then tomorrow night, they'll be hanging from the rafters when PLCjourneys up to the WWC gym to meet the Vikings for their final regular-season encounter. An absolute capacity crowd will pack the gym so come early for seats—if there are any left. THE BEG TEST PLCThis Weekend By DOUG SIMPSON Five years of hard work and striving to put his team on top havereached the climax for hoop coach Jack Hubbard. This weekend Hubbard and the Viking basketballtroops face THE BIG TEST. The two contests with Pacific Lutheran this weekend can make or breakWestern's ambitions for the conference championship. A sweep in the home-and-home series wouldput the Viks in undisputed first place, two games ahead of the Lutes. On the other hand, should PLCsweep the two, they would be on top by the same margin with just three conference games remaining.The Vikings proved themselves on the road last weekend, as they swept the games in Spokane withEastern and Whitworth. The game in Parkland tonight is all-important. The Viks can lose it and still be in the running; however, if the game is a carbon copy of the 75-52 encounter in Parkland, it could be ademoralizing blow to the team. There is nothing Hubbard and his team would rather do than drop theLutes right out of the picture. Many students will recall the fired-up underdog grid team that two yearsago out-scrapped Central to grab a share of the conference title. Perhaps Hubbard will have hisroundballers in a frame of mind similar to that of the football team two years ago. February 12, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 12 - Page 11 ---------- RUGBY Viks Win . . . Eilers Goes 80 Yards Despite the weather some 200 fans turned out atBattersby Field to see the Vikings soundly defeat the Vancouver C.Y.O. to the tune of 16 to 0.Western took an early lead when Pete "the toe" Napper kicked a penalty kick for three points. GaryEilers raced 80 yards to make the score 5 to 0, and Napper's conversion gave the Viks an 8 to 0 lead athalf time. During the intermission the spectators tried to fight the miserable environment by drinkinghot coffee. The coffee, sugar, cream and cups were supplied by Saga Foods. "Pete the Toe" Westernrepeated their first performance with Al Matheson getting a try which was converted by Napper; theWestern kicker applied his toe to the ball late in the game, and kicked a penalty kick to complete thescoring. Napper Cs toe) was the games top scorer with ten points. A wet day is a scrum day, butWestern was an exception to the rule as they applied the art of passing to keep the game wide open.The outstanding Viking was Al Matheson; the shifty halfback was an opportunist all afternoon, stealing the ball from the opposition on several occasions. Scrum half, Jack Sim, played his usual sturdygame. The game was marked by some real hard tackling from both teams and once again physicalcondition played a major in the Viking victory. If it had been a dry day the score would have been slightly higher than sixteen. The Vikings, looking better every time out, might produce some surprises on theirCalifornia trip. Tomorrow's game will again be played at Battersby Field with Vancouver Rowing Clubsupplying the opposition and all proceeds going to aid the Vikings on their California trip. The Vikingsare our team—let's support them. National Rugby Tourney Ambitious Western ruggermen disclosedplans this week designed to get them to California. After being invited to a spring vacation ruggertourney in Monterey, Joe Davie's sportsmen found only one obstacle in their path to the sunshinestate—the $1,300 plus, needed to get 24 athletes there, back, and nourished in between. The club metand voted to raise the cash through their own promotion. Last Saturday the drive began, and, February12, 1960 despite bad weather, a rugby game at Battersby Field netted enough cash to provide a bed ortwo in Monterey. Tomorrow, the Vikings meet the Vancouver Rowing Club at Battersby Field at 2 p.m.,and this time the Vik organizers have planned a gala day. Rain or shine, Bellingham's Mayor Westfordwill kick off. The show will be encouraged by Western's cheerleaders and accompanied by the Western band. Cars from MRH and Highland Hall are available for any group of girls in need of transportation.RUGBY POINTERS By RAY DEVIER Offsides and the Advantage Rule The first point to get straight isthat it is only when one of your own players has the ball, or was the last to touch it, that you need worryabout being off-side. When one of your players has the ball, you must be behind him in order to take part in the play, if the man with the ball kicks the ball forward, all the players not behind him at the instanthe kicks it are offside, and remain off-side until the kicker passes you. If any players are off-side, andan opposing player catches the ball, they must be within ten yards of the receiver, and not make anymotion toward him until he moves five yards, (this is in any direction) or gets rid of the ball. When theball is in a scrum, the off-side rule is slightly different. While the ball remains in the scrum, no playeroutside the scrum is allowed to put a foot ahead of the ball—if you, accidently over-run the ball you canrightly be called offside, however, such a case would be up to the referee's interpretation. When the ballis in the lineout, once again the off-side rule is slightly different. No player can move across theimaginary line drawn down the center of the two teams until the ball has been touched by a player. While that ball remains in the ^lineout, no player, in or outside the lineout, is allowed to put a foot ahead of the ball. Sometimes these infractions will occur, and the referee will not stop the play; this is because hehas applied the advantage rule. This rule is applied when one team commits an infraction, but the otherteam does not lose any ground. For example, if a team1 jumps off-side, but the other team retainspossession of the ball and runs seventy yards for a try, the referee will not whistle the play down. Veryoften this rule will cause a delayed whistle.

Dear Editor, "Are our prof's atheists, Christians or pagans?Let's do it up right and investigate the Collegian," said legislator Mike Barnhart. It looks likeMcCarthyism is in full swing on our campus. What has caused all of this? Here it is in a nutshell. Rev.Lyle Sellards, of the USCF house, untactfully and undemocratically ordered the students' ears, the press, to get out of the Faculty Speaks series. Here he is using our building, and ordering students around asif he were the controlling faction on campus. Then to add insult to injury Sellards asked the Union Boardto set up a policy as to the press's position at the meetings. He made it quite clear that if the UnionBoard didn't set a policy he would play Little Ceasar and pull out. The Union Board quickly cleared upthis matter by simply refusing to set a policy on open meetings. This pressed all the panic buttons sosomeone on the Legislature dreamed up the idea of investigating the Collegian. Boy, what a chance forprestige. Then at the Legislature meeting a snug group of anti- DeWitt MaCarthyites were appointed tohead a committee to investigate the Collegian. How do we know that the poll is not being skewed?What is the distribution method? My suggestion to the Legislature is to watch their actions a littlecloser, especially in the budget. It is tough on the student budget when money is handed out in£15,000 chunks. My suggestion to the student is to elect a competent Legislature in the upcomingelections. Get individuals with different ideas, not a group of Forensic people. Why turn our legislatureinto an oratory discussion? Don Price Foul Language . . . Dear Editor: I am writing you this letterbecause I agree with you on the fact that if students are concerned and interested enough in theirnewspaper they should let the editor know about it. If the students are not satisfied with thenewspaper that represents their college, they should try and do something about it instead ofhollering their heads off with nobody listening. Page 2 You have been quoted as saying that your staffcan only do so much. This is certainly obvious! I have never had a journalism course—not even a highschool journalism course, but it is perfectly clear that since your writers are only capable of slammingstudents, faculty, organizations, and activities into the ground, it is most advisable to find a staffadequately talented to give the students a newspaper they would like to read, free of foul language and childish "opinions." This is not only my thought on the problem of having an inadequate newspaper,but there are others who feel the same way. I only hope that after reading this letter they will have thebackbone to tell you so] Very sincerely, Gail Bilodeau at Western. The committee to in-reaction whenmost anything about the made some rather There were opin-new editor should A Poll Is Biased DearEditor; All year there have been articles in the Collegian stating that the Legislature has done nothing.Well, I disagree with this; they did something last week. At the regular meeting some of the Legislatorsreported that several students had voiced their o p i n i o n s and that the Collegian was not exactlywhat they wanted in a college paper. One member said it was the format that students disliked; othersbluntly said that there was not enough news It happened that some of the Collegian staff, including theeditor and assistant editor, were at the meeting. They felt that no one had the right to tell them how torun t h e i r newspaper, that if someone wished to voice an opinion he could write a letter to the editor.They informed the Legislature that not one of the 2,500 students had done this. Animosities grew andthe arguments became personal. Hurt feelings exploded the issue into what could have been the major WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN conflict of the year President appointed a vestigate thestudents' students did not know situation. The editor unfounded accusations, ions expressed that a behired. Everything had happened quickly with no time spent on thinking the problem out or on decidingwhat the actual issue was. In a couple of days when tempers had subsided, the opposing sides gottogether and they now are no longer opposing each other, due to the magnanimity and intelligenceof both the accused and the accuser. It would have been very silly to fire the editor or to take a poll or todo nothing about the problem. No one has the right to tell an editor how to run his paper for when asituation of this type occurs you no longer have a free press and most people fear a suppressed orcorrupt press. A poll is usually too biased to accomplish its aims. I would like to see the newsreported as it actually happens; any situation should be clearly and factually explained; then all theopinion in the world can be stated, provided there is room. The manner in which the problem is newbeing solved is the best in my opinion. I agree with Mr. Morrisette on one point. Why just sit there andcomplain? Talk to the Legislators and write to the Collegian editor, John Troutner Lost in Paranoia . . . Dear Editor; If I were in your position and the Legislature threatened to dictate policy to me, I wouldrequest the College Board of Trustees to transfer all responsibility for the publication to the collegeadministration. It's pretty apparent to people outside the Legislative chambers that the group hasbecome fearful that the world is against it, that it has neglected any imaginative role in studentleadership, and that it has reverted to a childish tendency to protect itself from things that don't eventhreaten it. It appears to be lost in paranoia. In the college administration and faculty one can findintelligence, imagination, and a capability to cope with events realistically. These things apparently donot exist —or at least are momentarily lost in student government. Therefore it would only appear tobe wise to have responsibility in stable and capable hands. Ken Robertson February 19, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 19 - Page 3 ---------- Bruised Egoes Dear Legislators: Your members seem to have taken offense at the derogatoryremarks made in the Collegian about the inefficiency of the Legislature. In your last meeting,accusations were directed at the Editor accusing him and his staff of biased opinions, but what ifthese "biased opinions" are just and well founded? Then why should the Collegian be investigated? Itseems in order, that if the Legislature is inefficient, they should be the ones investigated, not theaccusers. Often groups try to divert the public's eye from the real problem. You as Legislators havecreated a problem in school finances. Your method of diversion is an attack on the Collegian. Thesemembers of the Legislature accuse the editor of hurting the morale of the school by presenting factsbefore the students. They call it bad taste if the Collegian editor, or his staff, hit at Legislators'weaknesses. With these thoughts in mind, two questions arise: first, should the Collegian hide thefacts from the readers; secondly, should the Collegian accept a middle of the road attitude and ignoreproblems brought to the attention of the Collegian? Should the Collegian "tread lightly" to avoid steppingon any toes, or has the Collegian the right to withhold articles to please a selected few? Mr. Barnharthas said that the Legislature cannot be a true representative of the students. I agree. But in this sameline of thinking, the Collegian is not a true representative of the student body. Then how, Mr. Barnhart, doyou expect the Collegian's article to please everyone? There are bound to be differences of opinion,within the student body, about any articles. If the Legislature does not feel that too many "egos" havebeen "bruised," then I suggest you express your retaliations in the Collegian—and base your letters and articles on the value of your worth and your accomplishments as Legislators, and not try to shuffle yourown shortcomings off on to the Editor. Prove to the students that the Collegian's articles are wrong!David Colburn Collegian "Bigots" Dear Editor: After reading Budd Morisette's letter pertaining to theCollegian discussion held at the Legislature meeting of February 10, I felt compelled to present the other side of the story. I have never seen anything so misrepresented in print as was Morisette's letterconcerning that meeting. Why was the Collegian discussed at the meeting? Editor DeWitt continuallyreiterated that the Collegian was being in- February 19, 1960 vestigated because of the bruised egosof certain Legislators. All year long the Legislature has been charged with indifference and inactivity.This has been true a great deal of the time. Legislator Mike Barnhart, disgusted with the overuse ofeditorialism and lack of news, wanted to find out how other students felt about the Collegian. Barnhartquizzed some of the students and found that they, too, were disgusted with the Collegian. Because ofthe students' feelings, he felt that the Collegian should be discussed at a Legislature meeting. Isn't itthe job of the Legislators to represent the students? Ask DeWitt, Bob Stevenson, and other narrow-minded Collegian bigots if this is not what Barnhart is doing? Stevenson cries that "Freedom of thePress" is being infringed upon. Whereas most newspapers are owned by a few individuals, the Collegianis owned by the students. The students are the stockholders, so to speak, and it is to them that theCollegian should be responsible. If the students do not like the Collegian, isn't it their prerogative to sayso? And where else can they express their feelings if not through student government? I think it isrelevant to point out that of all the students at the meeting, the only ones who spoke in favor of theCollegian were editor DeWitt, managing editor Stevenson, faculty advisor Dr. Flora, Legislator LeoDodd, Dave Colburn, Ken Robertson, advisor Mr. Hansen and Morri-sette (the self-admitted clod). Isn'tthis a strong indication of how the students feel about the Collegian? I don't believe that the objection tothe Collegian is because of the format. They realize that the format allows for opinionated writing. Theyobject because that privilege has been entirely over-abused. They want more news and less opinion. Asa final thought, I will recall the words of one of the students who spoke out at the meeting. "TheCollegian is a representative of the College, and we of Western are partially judged because of it."Doug Simpson, Legislator.

Balloting for thequeen will be held the week of the prom. Music for the event will be provided by the Marty Simons Bandof Seattle. Already decorations are well underway, reports decorations chairman Sally Fugitt. She and her committee have been holding decorations workdays in which flower making is the vogue. Treeshave also been collected for the decorations. Miss Fugitt commented that in her opinion the prom "will have an extra nice flair this year with the Parisienne theme and the chosen color scheme." Theadmission price? No, it's not $50.00 per person, just $2.00 per couple. At that price everyone can enjoyan "evening in Paris."

I'm not a pragmatist." If two sentences could have summed up Dr. Keith Murray's view of himselfon the Faculty Speaks series last week, those words might have done the job. Speaking casually,laughing and responding quickly to students' questions, the history professor said he likes to talk toWestern students—to their ancestors and offspring. "I'm Still Chiseling Away" Truth is absolute, notrelative," he stated. Man is like a blind man climbing a mountain. Every thousand years, it seems,some are born with their eyes open. Shelley may have had a revelation of truth, "but I'm still chiselingaway, bit by bit." Murray said he assumes all people have fundamental worth — "this is sometimesdifficult to do," but he believes in the idea of the value of man that comes from the Judo-Christiantradition. Then he answered questions. "I don't believe civilization will be extinguished by a third WorldWar. A lot of people may be lost, but not everything . . . "Almost certainly there will come a day whenthere will be no United States. I hope it won't happen during my time; then you can worry about it." Howdoes one become a well-rounded individual, he was asked. "Work Like a Hound-Dog" "At the risk ofbeing trite, I would say: don't neglect your P.E. course, social dancing classes or church activities.Get acquainted with the great ideas of the past. Pick what you want. Go after it, and work like a hound-dog or a rabbit on a rabbit trail. You won't get everything you want, but you'll be happier for trying." Howdo you find personal truth? How to Handle a Whelp . . . "How do you handle an obnoxious ninth-gradewhelp. I can't tell you; you'll have to learn by yourself." His commentary ranged from nonconformists(no one should be forced to learn; he should be given the op-porunity) to Omar Khayyam ("in my opinionhe was a nihilist"), to the gaining of personal satisfaction. "I write things for obscure publications.Nobody reads them but myself. I know if they stink, but personal satisfaction in writing something andDR. KEITH MURRAY "Work Like a Hound-Dog" knowing it was well done is most important." Garbage Men and Dead Bodies Stating he'd definitely have to leave at five because he had promised to take hiswife to town, he concluded with a comparison between Christian and Oriental culture. Garbage collectorsin China were subsidized by rich men, he said, to carry away men who would die on their doorsteps toassure themselves of a good burial. "The Oriental view of life is hardly philanthropic." As Dr. Murrayended his discussion at five to keep his promise to Mrs. Murray, he parted with one sentence of advice:"Keep your shirt on." o The Music Department will present a student recital at 10:00 a.m. in theAuditorium, Friday, February 26. PLAY "Farcial Story Unfolded" There was a shadow on the wall—reflecting the spirit of action, leading mood changes, mirroring even the color and life of actions onactions. A Shadow Leads . . . This shadow of a baton led a cast through its paces last night asorchestra director, Bob Duvall, moved the performance of a sometimes-soft, often active andexhilerating musical accompaniment. The watching audience seemed to move, too—with laughter,smiles and chuckles as the farcial story unfolded. The auditorium reverberated laughter after TomAston's vaudeville-type soft-shoe and again during the scenes between John Schermerhorn and Aston.The eyes out front moved with Gladys McLean singing her role, with Martha Whitchurch, and were caught up in dance numbers soloed to a Latin rhythm by Lyn Hopkins and Dave Buff. Wild Passes, UnseenRhythms Leaps, wild passes and stage actions moving in farce-time seemed to merge the players andaudience, as behind the scenes, unseen rhythms were played out by Len Gargarello, stage manager;Mark Flanders, technical director; Dr. Gerald Cohen, choreographer; Judy Alexander, assistant director;and the master-mover, Dr. William Gregory. As the baton moved, catching small, quick splashes ofstagelight on its tip, the rhythms merged into a frantic complete pattern. The curtains had opened onWestern's production of "Where's Charley " SWEA Western Hosts Conference Eight years ago theStudent Washington Education Association was founded on Western's campus. This year, onFebruary 27, Western will be host for the regional conference. Dr. Skeen, of Western's Department ofEducation, will be speaking within the conference's theme " S t u d e nt Teaching—Past, Present, andFuture." This theme is pertinent because of the recent revolution in the education program at Western.Those nominated to run for state SWEA offices are: Ramona Hopping, Pat Kaye, Sylvia Hendrickson,and Sherry Brown. February 19, 1960 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 5 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 19 - Page 6 ---------- THE LEGISLATORS SPEAK A Frank Analysis of Student Government, by the people that run it. Isfaculty control imminent in the near future, or will the Legislature remain autonomous? "Let's PoolBiases" By LIZ SUNDSTROM Motions to 'suspend the editor or anything' were in order last week as the Legislature Chambers became the scene of this quarter's first great ASB debate. The staff has taken"too much license," according to Barnhart, often showing "poor taste" in articles. Barn-hart called theLegislature, Union Board, and WUS articles "inane and predigested" and urged last week's session ofthe ASB Legislature, to investigate Collegian policies. "The privilege to editorialize has been grosslyabused by this year's Collegian," These were the words of Mike Barnhart who feels that freedom of the press has been carried too far at Western and that the Collegian staff hasn't made enough distinctionbetween fact and opinion. Howard DeWitt, Editor of the Collegian, retorted that the Legislatureshould expect the newsmagazine to te opinionated. He maintained that the paper has alienated theLegislature through its unfavorable criticism asking, "Is the paper a threat to the Legislature, or arethese people who complain merely suffering from bruised egos?" Legislator Leo Dodd commented that the Legislature knew DeWitt intended to continue former editorial policy, yet they appointed him editor.Dodd believes the Legislature "owes the editor a little allegiance." Ken Robertson, former Collegianeditor, added, "People may not agree, may find it in bad taste, but they read the Collegian. TheLegislature doesn't want a school paper; it wants a public relations outlet." Advisor Flora reminded thegroup that several weeks ago it had picked DeWitt because it wanted to save money, ignoring his viewson editorial THE COMMITTEE TAKES A POLL It appeared difficult to judge the accuracy . Page 6WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN THE COVER: . DeWitt and Dodd talk it over policy. "Before wefire the editor, Flora implored, "let's pool our biases and agree on the paper's functions!" Jens Hansen,Collegian advisor, stated that he "keeps hands off the paper" maintaining that it would hs "silly" tocensure the Collegian. "Legislators have to be thick-skinned," said Hansen, "If the students reallyresent the Collegian attitude, why don't they write a letter to the Editor?" The Legislators took actionwhen ASB President Bob Gustavson, told the group that he had talked with dissatisfied students andEditor DeWitt, and agreed that news coverage has been accurate and opinionated. He asked for amotion, "to suspend the editor or anything you want." Mike Barnhart moved "an investigation be set upto look into the matter of the Collegian and ASB student's reactions thereof." Lewis Curran amended themotion inserting "a committee consisting of five members be on this investigation committee, four ofwhich shall be other than Legislature members." Overpowered by Power? The members of theLegislature Investigating Committee, Judy Runnels, Don Carlson, Dennis Lewis, Liz Sund-strom, andCharlotte Strom, have been taking an opinion poll of various classes to determine the students' actualfeelings toward the paper. The results of the poll was presented at this week's Legislature meeting. Itappeared to be difficult to judge the accuracy of the committee's findings or the degree of influencethey will have on the Legislature. Collegian writers were wondering "Will the power of the press beoverpowered by the power of the Legislature?" February 19, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 19 - Page 7 ---------- GOVERNMENT Put It in the Box . . . By JOHN TROUTNER Did you know that the bids for the UnionBuilding were about $20,000 over the architect's estimates and that the choice then was to eliminatethe publications area or to appropriate extra money? The money was allotted partially from college andpartially from student funds. Then, • due to an oversight, a $15,000 interest payment was overlookedand the money came from student funds. There is one other little thing: The Union Building is notowned by the students, as we thought, but is a college facility. Some people would consider this cumgrano salis, some would not, others would not know. Apathy Toward Student Government This year, asin every year of the past, a few people on campus are concerned about the apathy on the part ofstudents concerning student government. Among those concerned are the ASB President and theCollegian editor. There have been many attempts to find the cause and a great number of articles have been written for the Collegian—in past years—but to no avail. Once again an attempt has been madeto find out why this exists. Quite a number of students were asked; "What do you think of studentgovernment?" The answers were very similar: "I don't know anything about it"; "I don't care about itbecause it does not concern me"; "It doesn't affect me," or something very similar. This seems to be a very sad, uninformed opinion. The Legislature created the Union Building and the Bookstore. Thisyear, on recommendations from the Finance Chairman, Jerry Baker, laws were passed that havestopped most of the wild, uncontrolled spending of student funds that had gone on in the past. Veryfew people know about this. One very interesting guess as to why the lethargy is so prevalent washazarded by more than one student. The guess was that either the student government did nothingor that there was very poor publicity. Believe It or Not the Legislature Took Action Last week severalmembers of the Legislature reported that a number of students had voiced opinions to them and, believeit or not, the Legis- February 19, 1960 JOHN TROUTNER Voices and pressure felt . . . lature tookaction on these opinions. At present the problem is being worked out to what is hoped will be asatisfactory solution. This was a direct representation of the students and it should show them thattheir voices and pressure were felt at least this once. It should also show that the Legislature doessomething once in awhile. Perhaps (and this is not meant to be derogatory to anyone) if there was better coverage in campus publications on what actually happens and if more students would attend theLegislature meetings and read the Collegian this langor would not predominate. If you want bettercoverage write a letter to the editor and put it in the post office in Old Main. The fault lies more with theindividual student rather than any group such as the Collegian or the Legislature. LEGISLATUREBasking in Personality By LEO DODD "The Legislature doesn't do anything!" "The Legislature is abunch of pseudo-intellectuals!" "The Legislature talks big and does nothing!" These are just a few of thecomments voiced about the Legislature in the past quarter and a half. No doubt the majority of theseopinions came from people who were unfamiliar with the operations and personnel of our studentgovernment. Legislature has accomplished Something In actuality the Legislature has accomplished something. Mainly through WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN the efforts of ASB President BobGustavson and two or three conscientious Legislators, the functioning of this body has been partiallysuccessful. The By-laws committee, chair-manned by Mike Barnhart, has come a long way in revising and integrating our ASB by-laws into useful form. Gustavson has labored continuously to mold theLegislature into a well organized, efficiently operating group. The work of the Finance Board andFacilities Board has been very successful. And yet there remains much to te desired. To many of theLegislators, student government seems only to involve attendance at the Legislature meetings from 4to 6 on Wednesday afternoons. On occasion they have been openly reprimanded during their meeting by the ASB President due to their indifferent attitude and lack of positive action. Runnels Biased, EasilyInfluenced Certainly the personalities on the Legislature have much to do with this attitude. These arethe members that formulate our policies: MIKE BARNHART—one of the more effective members;idealistic; hard working; dedicated. BOB BROWN—nice guy; weak, ineffective Legislator; prestigeconscious. BOB BURGOYNE—inexperienced; indifferent; lack of real interest. LEWCURRAN—willing to work; adequate knowledge of student government; personality conscious.LARRY ERNST—intelligent although COLLEGIAN WRITER Inane and predigesled? Page 7 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 19 - Page 8 ---------- inexperienced; doesn't work up to capacity. GARY GERHARD — opinionated although easilyinfluenced; good possibilities although inexperienced. GORDON MILLS — indifferent attitude;sarcastic; has ability but does not use it. JUDY RUNNELS—biased; can be influenced; talks a lot but says nothing; tries hard. RON SALTIS—completely indifferent; misses meetings; friendly attitude.DOUG SIMPSON—conscientious Legislator; lacks experience but works hard. LEO DODD—nocomment. The above comments are only opinion but they could help to explain some of the currentproblems existent in the present Legislature. If these problems are to be resolved, it will be up to eachindividual Legislator to concern himself with efficient functioning of student government rather thanbasking in the rays of his own personal importance. LOBBYING "Ponder the Power , . ." By MIKEBARNHART Several weeks ago, the Collegian Editor, Howard Dewitt, asked that I write an article aboutthe Student Legislature. Since then I have pondered the task and decided it best to approach thesubject from the standpoint of its ultimate motivation—pressure. Any system that is representativemust act according to the words that reach it either from subordinate organizations and interests or the individuals being represented. Of course, individual students are always encouraged to approachthe Legislators; and there are numerous avenues of expression at Western that provide individualstudents, acting as a collective whole, the opportunity to reach the major policy-making body, theStudent Legislature, with considerable force. The numerous clubs and organizations on this campus could appoint a spokesman for their particulars who would air the collective criticisms and/orsuggestions. All he or she needs to do is contact a member of the Legislature, inform him or her of thequestion and request that consideration be given. And, if the Legislator is unable to realize satisfaction by merely referring it to the appropriate Standing or ad hoc Committee, then he is impelled to requestLEO DODD 'Openly reprimanded' the question be placed on the ASB President's agenda for the nextmeeting. I might point out at this time that over 90% of the work done by any Legislature isaccomplished in com- As previously stated, a Legislature as a whole. As previously stated, a legislature operates largely on pressure and it is usually through pressure that it acts. Pressure connotes need and desire even if it is from the vested or powerful interests. Ponder the existence of 78 organized clubs,houses or what have you on Western's Campus and you will realize the latent lobbying power availableto you, the student. Lobbying is an age-old technique and, properly used, it can be a powerful weapon.OPINIONS Most Have No Reasons By MURRAY SANDS The Collegian went looking for Five opinionsof significance" this week and found that when the question, "Who should dictate student policy?" wasasked, opinions were far-ranging and far apart. Five people intimately concerned with student government on the campus considered the question and came up with the idealistic, platitudiness, old and newideas. One said most students don't care, and have no reason to. Student Activities Director* HaroldGoltz felt that all student organizations "by and large have the same objectives." These areeducation, development, and experience. More specifically, all organizations should be aimed atpresent student interests, the development of new interests, setting standards befitting a collegeorganization, and encouragement of promising students to participate in student affairs. Referringspecifically to the student government and to all college organizations in general, Mr. Goltz expressed the belief that we "should occasionally take a long objective look at our goals." He further stated that,"all organizations should be in a constant state of evolution. Otherwise past errors are repeated." Dr.Charles J. Flora said he believed students attend college to get an education rather than to worrythemselves with student government. In his capacity as ASB Legislature advisor, Dr. Flora hasobserved that students at Western seem to be dedicated to their main purpose and have less time todevote to government. "Most students really have no reason to be interested in student government," hesaid. That is, until their toes are "tromped on" or a negative issue arises. Union Board Chairman JackRa-bourn expressed the opinion that major objectives of the ASB Legislature "are not being approachedto date." When asked in what way improvement could be made, he said Legislators should "quit beingpetty and selfish and start evaluating matters for the general good." Rabourn suggested that studentsencourage competent persons to run for important offices. ASB President Bob Gustavson pointed outthe progress of this year's government. He pointed to the success of the Artist and Lecture Series, andthe many dances and social events sponsored by the ASB. It must be remembered that theLegislature is saddled with responsibilities which should not be underestimated, he said. Heconsidered that the handling of a hundred thousand dollar budget is achieved only through months of hard work. President Gustavson explains the position of the present Legislature as follows: "Pastadministrations have left many pitfalls in student government, including finance and lack of policy forASB activities and clubs. The Legislature this year has been forced to attempt to alleviate theseconditions and therefore have not been able to do some of the creative things expected of such a body."That was what five people said.

In winning one of the contests, the Viks are still very much in the running for the shot at the national tournament atKansas City. The Lutherans downed the Vikings, 70-56. Saturday night, another overflow crowdwatched one of WWC's great games, as the Viks won an overtime thriller by a 86-85 score. Fridaynight Western got off to a shaky start, as PLC led 14-3 before Ron Crowe bagged WWC's first field goal. The Viks rallied and closed the gap to 17-16, but PLC spurted to a 40-28 lead at the half. Midwaythrough the second half, Hubbard sent in his reserve troops, as the Vikings were unable to narrow a 14-point bulge. His "Four Freshmen" and Derm Cunningham then proceeded to put on a hustling, ball-hawking, rally and before the Lutes could recover, Western had narrowed the PLC lead to 62-56. Asthe Lutes went into a stall, WWC had to foul in an attempt to recover the ball. However, the Lutheransmade good on eight charity free-throws. Consequently, PLC came out with a 14-point margin of victory.The contest was closer than the final fourteen point spread, and it was one of Western's better effortson PLC's notorious home court. Comeback of the Year On Saturday night, Hubbard's boys played whatwas probably their best comeback effort of the year. Rallying from a steady nine-point deficit, the Vikings made a cool, slow climb up the score board to tie the Lutes at 74-74 at the end of the regulation period.Western had trailed the Lutes from the very start of the game, and never regained the lead until they ledin the overtime period. The Viks lost big Jim Greer via the foul route, but again the Viking bench strengthpayed off. Terry Clayton, Herm Washington, and Bob Gilda came in to keep the Vikings in the fire.Actually, it was definitely a team effort. Everyone who got into the game contributed to the cause. BudBloch was tremendous on the WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN boards, and Ron Crowe bangedhome thirty points. Gary Mose was all over the court, harassing the Lute back-men, and charging thebackboards. All the Vikings were heroes in that big drive. In the last minute of the regulation period andthroughout the overtime contest, the crowd was in hysterics. But perhaps the coolest, calmest lad in the county that night was shuffling Easy Ed Vadset. Ed came off the bench with a minute and thirtyseconds left in regulation time to lead the Vikings out of the fire. Vadset tied up the game at 74-74,and got all twelve of Western's points in the overtime period to give the Vikings their 86-85 victory.This weekend the Vikings are on the road. Tonight they tackle the UPS Loggers in Tacoma, and then it'llbe Central Washington College at Ellens-berg on Saturday night. Next Tuesday, Western hosts UPS.These three forthcoming contests are all vital ones. The Viks need victories for the play-off spot.RUGBY Viks Held Scoreless By RAY DEVIER In an effort to send our boys to California some threehundred fans turned out at Battersby Field, and watched a scoreless, but thrilling game between our own Vikings and the Vancouver Rowing Club. The visiting team was the first club to keep the Viks scoreless in three years. The game itself was marked by good defensive play on the part of both teams. Spurtsof exciting offensive maneuvers kept the somewhat chilled fans interested. Mathieson Shines AgainWestern threatened many time in the game, but just couldn't push that ball over a try. Once again theoutstanding player for Western was Al Mathieson. The past week has been spent on polishing upplays with emphasis on conditioning, as the Vikings prepare to invade Canada tomorrow for a game withthe Vancouver Barbarians. They will return to Western one week from tomorrow. February 19, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 19 - Page 11 ---------- JAYVEE BASKETBALL Little Viks Edge Shack on Slettedahl's 17 Points Western's Jayvees relied onthe scoring of Terry Slettedahl as they upped their season record to 9 wins and 2 losses with a close39-37 win over the Shack Drive-in last Saturday night in the preliminary game prior to the Western-PLCtilt. Slettedahl, hitting on free throws and long jumpers banged home 17 points as the junior Viks camefrom behind to win. The Shack attempted to knock off the Jayvees with a deliberate type offense, but fell victim to a close checking defense. For the Shack, Sam Martin and Larry Whitney were outstandingas they controlled the play and forced a slowing down of the game which almost led to the defeat ofthe inexperienced J.V.'s. SWIMMING Viks Outclassed Coach John Kulbitski, earlier in the year, hadstated that for the remainder of the season the Viking mermen would be "out of their class." While notcasting any reflections on the swimming team, his statement was borne out last week-end as thesplashers dropped a 68-27 meet to the Idaho Vandals in the Vikings pool. Dean Aspinall picked up the only 1st place for the Viks by winning the blue ribbon in the backstroke event. LEAGUE STANDINGSTeam Won Loss Pet.

FORENSICS Tyro Tourney Success By JACK SIGURDSON Western Washington CollegeFor-ensics squad members were among the leaders in the final rounds of the annual Tyro Tournament, hosted last Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. The Oxforddebate team of Ron Butler and Jack Sigurdson finished with a tie for third place in Junior Men's Debate.Fourth place finishers in other final events were John Panagos, senior division, and after DinnerSpeaking; and Karen Fortin and Diane Nygaard in Discussion. An 11 member team represented WWCin the tournament, led by Dr. Paul H. Herbold, Forensics coach. Others competing included PhyllisBiggar, Dave Syre, Bob Pike, Marilyn King, Julie Waddell, and Margaret Cox. The Forensics team willtravel early next month for the final tournament this quarter at Linfield College, Mc- Minnville, Ore. It'sexpected that a full squad of 18 members will enter the various events in that competition, March 3-5."Excellent Results" "The results have been excellent when you consider that this was just the secondtournament for us, while other teams at UPS had competed in four or five previous tournaments," Dr.Herbold said. There were 26 colleges entered in the Tyro Tournament. At the start of Spring Quarter,WWC will host the Pi Kappa Delta provincial Tournament, the first intercollegiate forensics tournamentever held on the Western Campus—with 175 top speakers expected. UGLY MAN "Anyone Can Sign Up" Campus men have been plaguing the mirrors lately asking themselves what chance they have ofbeing nominated in the Ugly Man contest, which is being sponsored by the IRC Club here on campus. The contest begins on the 23rd of this month and will end on the 27th with the crowning of the Ugly Man at the Ugly Dance. Anyone can sign up a candidate on the signup sheet in Old Main.

N A M E— I I J STREET-j CITY I COUNTY- .STATE-Page 2 A Good Attempt . . . Dear Editor: May I congratulate you for the attempt you and your staff are making topublish a college paper that is different and thought provoking. It has been my experience to work onseveral newspaper staffs. Generally speaking, college "weaklies" fall into two cata-gories: (1) theweekly schedule, or (2) a recount of past activities. The first is valuable in arranging a weekly timetable; the second's merits are scrapbook clippings. Happily, the Collegian doesn't fall into thesecatagories. Each week I look forward to its publication and to its interesting content and format.Often I disagree with the points of view expressed and can quickly point out faults in the copy, but itdoes cause me to think constructively. It is too bad that so many of the letters and comments written are argumentative without evidence, retort without consideration, provoking without thought, or plainlyemotional. The writers do not guide their criticisms by asking themselves how they find fault. For thisreason I congratulate you for the effort you are making in the face of the continual non-constructivecriticism you receive. A graduate student, Richard L. Harris Put Prestige Away Dear Editor: Fellas, thewhole world isn't against you! No more than you ask for, that is. There is the Collegian, doing their darn-dest to put out a paper that the students will read. Their method has been questioned, but it's certainly true that a lot of students are reading it. And not only students. I wonder what the townspeoplethink when they read some of the stuff in this paper. The thoughts conveyed are well and good, but themanner in which they are expressed (in some cases) leaves something to be desired. Mr. Dodd's article(Collegian, Feb. 19) has been long awaited, but it's too bad a member of the Legislature had to write it.Maybe some of those Legislators will put their prestige in their blazer pockets and strive to increase theirefforts for the students and justify their seat at the "big table." I recall, Mr. Dodd, when you were aneophyte on the Board of Control. You were just as inexperienced, weak, ineffective, a nice guy, andwilling to work as any on your list. I think in general they've all done pretty well in spite of some articlesin the Collegian to the contrary. Jerry Lybeck WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Evaluating DoddMr. Editor: The article presented by Mr. Dodd in last week's issue seemed to me to be very well put. Myone objection to the article was that it did not present enough background information for the studentwho is not familiar with the Legislature. The article would seem to have meaning only for those who havehad the experience of observing one of the Wednesday afternoon sessions. Perhaps Mr. Dodd shouldhave prefaced his evaluations with a few introductory comments as to the value of such evaluations tothe improvement of the individuals evaluated. To those who have worked with the Legislature throughthe past year, the comments seem rather well put. It might be well to add, in the same vein, anevaluation of Mr. Dodd. Leo Dodd: experienced; sincere; interested; sometimes has troubleexpressing the ideas which he has. Jack Rabourn Embrace These Concepts A letter to the students; ". . We see the first signs of autonomy when a person discovers that truthfulness is necessary to therelations of sympathy and mutual respect. Reciprocity seems in this connection to be the determiningfactor of autonomy, thus any relation with other persons, in which unilateral respect takes place, leads to heteronomy. Autonomy therefore appears only with reciprocity . . . " This is an excerpt fromListon Pope, which I think answers rather fully and dramatically the problems that face peoples in their effort to govern themselves. I call upon those concerned to embrace these concepts for the bettergoverning of the student body. John Schermerhorn "I Read Wall-Scribbles'' Dear Mr. Editor, When your"magazine-style" paper came out last fall, I thought it was a million laughs; it seemed to be a take-off onMad Magazine. However, as the quarter progressed, I began to wonder if you were just poking fun, or if you were actually writing for real. It took the infamous "Christmas issue" for me to make up my mind.Since then, I believe that your articles have become more and more repulsive. Your mag isn't even fit to be called literary trash. Last fall I became curious about our Legislature; I decided to go to a meeting, just to see if it was composed of drooling idiots, as your articles implied. February 26, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 26 - Page 3 ---------- I found a group of students who were working hard, performing the duties of their office. I found a group,which could have worked harmoniously as a unit had it not been for two, perhaps three members whoseemed bent on fouling things up so the Collegian could have something to write about (incidently. thesemembers were also on the Collegian staff). I found an alert group which discovered a $15,000 deficit inthe December, 1958 books, and since the finding, has patched things up so that we will be above thewater line by this June. In short, Mr. Editor. I found that the Collegian doesn't print what the Legislaturedoes; it prints what the Legislature doesn't do. While I'm speaking of your persecutions, Dodd's articlein last week's paper was a beaut; I'm speaking of the one in which he singles out and personally judgeseach Legislator. It certainly was a fine example of how to settle your personal grudges without allowingyour enemy to fight back. I expect to see Leo wandering around campus with a crown of thorns on hispointed-head any day now. If anyone would go to a meeting of the Legislature, I'm sure they would seethat Dodd is the burned-out bearing that retards the Legislature's wheel of progress. Finally, Mr. Editor,your argument that students like the Collegian because nobody writes letters against it, is false. Thereare two reasons why you don't get those letters: (1) some students fear (and with good reason) that ifthey write against you. they will become the subject of your crucifying editorials, and (2) most students don't want to "lower" themselves to have anything to do with your biased trash. Come out of your caveand listen to the comments floating around campus! If I had the power, I would have disbanded theCollegian immediately following the Christmas issue. Since I don't have this power, I have decidedinstead, to raise my intellectual literary level by substituting for the Collegian, the reading of "wall-scribbles" in the heads. Jerry Caton # # # Editor's Note—Since you are running for office Mr. Caton,this is a fine letter and undoubtedly will get you many new votes. But I hardly feel that you, are anauthority on the Legislature by attending tzvo or three meetings. Mr. Dodd has served on threeLegislatures thus making him very well qualified to compare the present members with past ones. The$15,000 mishap that you quoted was found by Mr. Jerry Baker and not the Legislature. They didn'teven know it existed. My suggestion to you is to put your free time into improving our terrible socialprogram instead of making inane accusations about items you know nothing about. The Soot-CoveredBuddhas Today AN EDITORIAL, BY STACY TUCKER February 26, 1960 In the realm of Orientalliterature we find a tale that has a most profound significance regarding many of the things the we seeand hear today. It seems that there was a Buddhist nun who had fashioned an exquisite little image ofThe Buddha out of wood. This she had gilded with gold leaf and it is said that it was a charming andbeautiful work of art. Through this little image she found a strengthened union with her Lord. Everything would have gone well had she not traveled. Upon her journeys, however, she discovered that her littleimage was not the only one of its kind in exist-ance. As a matter of fact many of the temples that shevisited had much greater works of art. Now as it was her custom to burn incense before her litte Buddhashrine, she was faced with a problem. How could she burn the incense that her Buddha would get thefumes and these other images would not? She devised a little funnel and held the wide end over theburning incense and the smaller opening over the face of her Buddha. In this way all the smoke wascarried to her statue alone. Sad to relate, the smoke and smut caused the face to blacken, and whatwas at one time a beautiful work of art, became an object most unattractive. "The Little Gilt Buddha"This is what happens when someone is so concerned with his own pet ideas and beliefs. People findsomething as beautiful as the nun's little gilt Buddha and embrace it and believe in it. Then they mustface a world of many ideas and feelings and beliefs. What shall they do? Many joyfully add theirdiscovery and faith to that which they see around them. Many, sad to relate, do like the nun did andnurse and roll in their own pet beliefs and attempt to limit themselves to this sphere. This sort likes torest secure that its faith is the only faith and all others are deluded. There is irony in that concept.Who do you suppose is deluded? One who knows only that you can walk to New York, or one whoknows of many ways of reaching a goal? One who eats only carrots, or one who is aware of a variety offoodstuffs to be eaten? I have only hinted at things so far . . . I have let the reader draw his ownconclusions as to what I am driving at.Perhaps it might be a good idea to be more concrete.WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN It is sad, indeed, when people become so sure and certainthat their own ideas are without flaws that they rush forward and condemn one who may differ in opinion.Tragic, when a Christian reads an Agnostic's article in a publication and immediately calls it to theattention of his associates and then the lot of them charge forward to save the readers from Satan'sspell. Can faith even exist without doubting? Love and hate flow from the same stream. Without one theother could not be. Of course, in the case I have in mind it was quite all right for these soldiers of thecross to rush forward, as the College student does not have the intelligence to make his own decisions as to what to read. Many Views and Opinions On a College campus many concepts are in evidence. There are many types of thought and all views and opinions cannot agree with each other. Why mustonly that which certain religious bodies approve of be set forth in a College, newspaper? The modernmind is a questioning mind which must weigh measures for itself. If one chooses not to celebrate areligious holiday, those who feel it important to celebrate should try to discover why they do, and if theyfind an answer as to their faith, then they should also try to find an answer for the refusal of many to relyon that faith. The old world, of one church and all else profane, is not in existence in the concrete sense. Sad, that many feel that it still exists. We must realize that many paths lead to he mountain top andall the travelers find their goal the same . . . or do they? Yet there is such comfort to feel that you areright and all others are wrong. What a wise nun she was, with her world that consisted of a piece ofgilded wood. FUTURE UNLIMITED: Three part-time salesmen.

Dr. Marcus Bloch President THE ASTRONOMY CLUB 240 Rivington Street New York 2, New YorkPage 3 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 26 - Page 4 ---------- PLAY Where the Nuts Come from By KAREN BAINTER "I'm Charley's aunt from Brazil— where thenuts come from- . . ." Among many other humorous lines, this one was echoed and re-echoed around the campus the day after the play. The Drama Department's latest pro- Suction, "Where's Charley," g a i ned ASTON AND SCHERMERHORN Rave Notices from Students rave comments from the students who attended it and left those who didn't attend it with a feeling that they had definitely missed something.The show was accepted by the audience from the moment it began. They laughed everywhere theyshould have laughed, and many places where it wasn't expected that they would. Aston's portrayal ofCharley and the tune was especially outstanding. Students commented on how he put so muchpersonality into it and used facial expressions to well to put across his feelings. One girl stated, "I almost got a crush on him just from watching the play." The entire cast did an extremely good job on the play,staying in character, and putting across their lines and songs. The colorful dance routines were wellsynchronized and the final dance highlight came with a solo by Dave Buff and Lyn Hopkins, spotlighted and graceful. Besides the hard work Gerald Cohen put in choreographing the dances, Bob Duvall spenta lot of time and effort perfecting the orchestra. Although this is the first time an orchestra has beenused with one of Western's plays, and the first time someone has worked especially with thechoreography, the final results were worth the effort. Success After Weeks of Work After the play wasover Friday night, no one worried any more about whether John Schermerhorn would make it acrossthe stage on his bicycle, or if Tom Aston would get his costume changed fast enough, or whether theset would be set up in time for the next curtain to rise. The play became a memory, faint in the minds ofthe audience, but more important in the minds of those who worked for weeks so they could succeed for two nights. CANDIDATES SPEAK More Student Control By GARY ODEGAARD Better financing, more student control— those were the main points expounded by candidates at the Candidates'Rallies last week. There are two candidates for President— Jerry Baker and Bill Robertson. Bakertold of two main points in his platform: (1) He wants to get students in equal rating with the facultymembers. He believes that faculty committees should be integrated with student representation. (2)The ASB President should lead the legislature and push and help them. Bill Robertson hopes toimprove the present attitude toward student government. He feels that campus organization shouldhave a flat sum of money with which to work. He also promised to set up a finance program that wouldeliminate deficit spending. Vice-Presidential Candidates The three Vice-Presidential Candidates, JerryCaton, John Panagos, and Marshall Bronson, were next to go before the students. ASB SocialChairman Jerry Caton calmly stated, "I feel I have the experience necessary for this job." JohnPanagos, who is sponsored by Forensics, said, "We should look to the future and find out what thingsare wrong and what things are good. Students should have a say in social activities." Next MarshallBronson confidently stepped up to the mike. "There is a definite lack of communication on campus. Thestudents don't know what's taking place most of the time." Bronson believes that an ASB Daily Bulletinshould be used instead of the present bulletin. "I also believe in an integrated social program. LegislativeCandidates The eight Legisltaure candidates next stepped up before the audience. Bob Brown,incumbent, said, "I have served three quarters on the legislature —I remember an old proverb whichsays, Experience is the best teacher." Lew Curran, incumbent, said, "We can either lose student controlof student affairs to the faculty or keep student control, which we should do, through a program ofstudent interest in student government and student ideas. There should be more student opinions. Larry Ernst, incumbent, stated, "We are unique at Western with our student control, and we should allappreciate and enjoy it." Ernst said that music and sports departments are kept in existence by thestudent fees. Charlotte Strum, who is also sponsored by Forensics, disapproved of the small cliquesin student government here at Western. Nina Ayers believes there should be closer relationship between students and the legislature. "I would try to contact you individually to get your ideas, although Irealize this is probably impossible to do," she concluded. Denny Lewis believes that his background in Economics would help him correct the present deficit financing for which he charged the Legislatureand Finance committee for not correcting. Howard DeWitt said that there could be better planning offinances. "I have saved $500 from my present budget," he said. DeWitt said there is a need for newblood in the Legislature. Bob Pike believes that it is the Legislature's duty to investigate what needsinvestigating on campus such as the Collegian and the administration. That's it—you've read what therespective candidates say they stand for, what they dislike, what they like, and what they plan to do.Page 4 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN February 26, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 26 - Page 5 ---------- ARTIST AND LECTURE 7^e j lt;U tfo ?e*tctoce SomcC . . Clipped R's and Broad A's . • ; • By YVONNE WESTMAN E d w a r d Weeks, with a Harvard accent and title of editor of the AtlanticMonthly, came to the campus Friday to put forth "A Creed for Americans." Clipping his r's andbroadening his a's, the editor of one of America's oldest intellectual magazines told his audience ofnearly 400, "I mean a body of working principles which really do work and are agreed upon by themajority of people in the country . . . a set of laws and principles . . ." Then he asked, "Are these thingsrespected today by any more than squares?" Weeks painted a sad picture of American society andsaid it needed touching up with some permanent colors. Then he used Kruschev's words. "WhenKrushchev saw the Los Angeles freeway streaming with cars occupied by only one passenger, he said,'What a waste. And what he had in mind when he said, 'We'll bury you,' was an eventual process—thatcommunism is destined to wipe out and replace capitalism." He implied that Krushchev was not idlythreatening and that we'd better accept the challenge. "Feudalism used to burn people who saidfeudalism would lose, but eventually capitalism-buried it." Then Weeks concluded. The novelty of thespeaker's accent captured many of his audience; his words others. When he finished, he received astorm of applause. Many of the applauders remembered a moment during the middle of his speech,when he looked up from his notes, paused, and said emphatically: "In our experiment, a newcharacter is emerging — and heaven knows, it had better emerge . . ." (THIS WEEK'S COVER STORY) In the beginning there was the debt; $15,000 worth. It came from last year, when it was felt by somethat it was better to have a debt than it was to face he animosity of a few people. The Legislature knewthey had a problem with the finances, but they didn't know how much. It remained for an alert member of the cabinet, one Jerry Baker, to discover the extent of the problem. Student Union in the Red One day,while examining the books, Baker found a discrepancy in the accounts. It seemed that the StudentUnion Building Fund was in the red, and it shouldn't have been, or so it seemed to Finance ChairmanBaker. Baker then consulted with the faculty advisor to the Finance Board, Byron Haglund, and thetwo of them began an extensive investigation of the situation. It appeared at first that he problem wasone of having spent some $15,000 from the wrong account. Baker and Haglund first reported that theBusiness Office had been unaware of a payment that was due in December of 1958. When the bankdemanded payment, the funds, according to Mr. Buchanan, were taken from the general checkingaccount of the ASB (A situation which will not recur through the system which has been developed byBaker, Haglund, and Mr. Cecil Hite.) Baker and Haglund continued the investigation and found that themix-up had occurred when the Union Building Committee had decided to finish the Publications Area ofthe Union, one of the alternates in the bid. With the decision to make this addition, the cost of thebuilding went up an estimated $20,000. The money Jerry Baker used to cover this added cost was themoney which would have been used to cover the interest payment of $15,000. Following their discovery, it took Baker some two weeks to convince the Business Office that the interest payment should havecome from College funds, and not from ASB funds. In the end, Baker was able to get the amount downto about $5,000. This was accomplished by returning nearly $5,000 to ASB Budget Control and bygiving the balance of the Union Building Fund to the ASB. This debt of $5,000 which remains on thebooks will not be cleared until the Union Bonds are redeemed, approximately forty years in the future.Amortize Collegian, Klipsun A possible solution suggested by Baker is to amortize the amount from theaccounts of the COLLEGIAN AND KLIPSUN over a period of about ten years, and in this way clear thebooks of the ASB. Baker has stressed that ASB can run on a balanced budget and must in order toremain solvent. The student Legislature must show extreme caution in the allocating of the unbudgetedfunds of the ASB in order to maintain a reasonable supply of cash-on-hand. It is the responsibility ofChairman Baker and his committee, along with their "unsung heroine," Mrs. Hite, to advise theLegislators of the best course to follow when considering requests for funds.

It was the first conference title for the Vikings since 1916, and Coach Jack Hubbard's best season as a coach. Ron Crowe sank 20 points to break the old league season scoringrecord of 314 points set by Chuck Curtis of PLC in 1952. Crowe has a season total of 316 points. EdVadset once again proved to be Western's clutch play-maker as he sank four straight free-throws withless than two minutes to play. Vadset had 17 points for the night, and was a terror on defense. Blochand Greer Lead Big Men Big Jim- Greer and Bud Bloch worked the boards effectively for the Vikings asthey pulled in 50% of the team's rebounds. The game started with a bang as Western jumped off to a10-0 lead. Prom then on it was a close ball game all the way as the Viks fought nip and tuck untilVadset's splurge. Western led at half-time, 34-31. In the second half, UPS overran the Viks, and itlooked for a while like the Loggers were going to chalk up another victory. But the team pulled together and regained the lead with six minutes left, 53-52. With two minutes left Bloch sank two free throws to give the Viks a 62-60 lead. UPS again tied it up, 62-62, then clutch playing Vadset calmly sank hisfour free throws in the last two minutes to clinch the victory. Tomorrow, Western plays Seattle Pacific College in the Bellingham High School gym. If the Viks win this game, they will play the winner of thePLC-Central Washington game to see who will represent the Northwest in the national NAIA tournament. Tomorrow's game will be at 8:00 p.m. If the Viks win that one, they will play-off with PLC, (who willundoubtedly beat Central) in a neutral court, which has yet to be decided.

Dear Editor, Judging by Mr. Livesey's letter which you published in the January 29th issue of the Collegian, I assume that you'll publish anything, so I'll state my opinion for whatever it's worth. First,I agree with Mr. Livesey when he says that Western can't lose ball games and hope for a berth in theDistrict playoffs or in the Kansas City tournament. But the other points which Mr. Livesey made! Is hesome sort of a coach himself, or an expert on basketball, or one of the disgruntled candidates for theVik team who didn't make it? I'm sure Mr. Hubbard is just as unhappy as anyone else when his teamloses, and that he's more capable than any of the "sideline critics" of analyzing and evaluating his team's errors. Now, as for the poor showings which the Viks might make, we all have our "off" days, and thesedays exert some influence on our friends. If we appear to be unhappy and to have gotten out of bed onthe wrong side, it is very likely that our closest friends (and others, as well) will tend to absorb some ofour feeling. If one member of the team is "off," I believe some of his teammates are quite likely to beaffected adversely by this. And yet, sometimes making a substitution is not the best thing to do. A coach may feel that the only way a starter can get over his bad night is under actual "battle" conditions, so the coach leaves him in. When we, as spectators, begin to criticize rather than encourage our athletes, Ibelieve we have reached a height in misconceiving the purpose of an athletic program. Athletics arefor the purpose of building those students who wish to participate, to give them an outlet through which they may release energy arising from academic problems, to furnish instruction in various competitiveevents which may interest them as students, to emphasize that life has compensations outside ofthose we receive in our professional activities, and to stress the importance cf working together. I'm nottrying to imply that spectators are not desired at atheltic events, but when spectators are notencouraging to the participants, they may as well be somewhere else. If Mr. Livesey has something to offer which Mr. Hubbard might need, perhaps he should offer his services to the basketball coach. I'msure Mr. Hubbard is not above accepting help from interested students who can prove their capability.Regarding our team's ability, Western has had an outstanding season already, and as far as dissensiongoes, there will always be some of that on any team, anywhere. Hypercriticism could cause moredis- Page 2 sension just as easily as it could reduce it. Finally, the best of luck, Viks, in the rest of ourgames. You've the ability to win the title, and that, along with your desire to win, is vital. But win or lose,the students of Western are behind you one hundred percent.

The bread lines were growing longer. The Red Army was starving. Mao Tse-Tung didn't know where the next dollar for the new Canton University cyclotron would come from. In alittle alley in Moscow, a ten-year-old member of the Young Pioneers opened his CARE package andsighed a huge sigh of relief. Now he would have lunch so he could attend the district meeting tomorrownight. Those wonderful Americans. He was really sad that Uncle Nikita was planning to wipe outCapitalism. Their beans were the best canned beans the little Communists had ever received in CAREpackages. As a pall of smoke hung over Dienbienphu, a little North Vietnamese struggled hopelesslyout of the cave he had hidden in. Suddenly before him was a little American lady. "Hello, little Americanlady," he said. The little North Vietnamese didn't know how to speak English, but he had picked up aphrase out of a book they had put in the new library at Dienbienphu, where World University Service hadstocked the shelves, so "that learning might not die." The little Vietnamese was sorry. He was sorry thathis great leader, Ho Chih Minh, had declared that Americans were sentimental and that they, theVietnamese, would eventually win over them. "Take their food, take their money; we'll use it all to build the biggest bomb that ever hit Manhattan." And in World University headquarters in Portland, Oregon, Mrs.Gladys Lawther, stood before a group of students: "Think of the poor students in India, in Vietnam, inChina, in Russia. They starve while you attend movies. They starve for learning while you invest in cheappocketbooks. Why don't you save a nickel a week and give it to WUS. We'll use it to send food andbooks and medicine to these poor, unfortunate, uneducated, knowledge-starved little infants whosomeday will grow up with rickets if we don't." Yes, Mrs. Lawther, you're right. And right here at Westernwe can help. I know we can do it Mrs. Lawther. I'm sure. Why WUS cart be a tremendous success. Wemight just raise one or two thousand sheckels for the poor little Arabians and their father Mr. Nasser, that great ,kind man. Why, Mrs. Lawther, it can be a great, huge success. How do I know? Well, rememberhow much scrap we collected and sent to Japan in 1939? Come on, everybody. Give, give, give.Whenever you drop in a dime, somebody'll show a movie and you can be entertained while you sacrificeyour excesses to the cause of humanity. (By the way, what are we going to do about unleashed dogs?Anybody gonna get up a fund?) By KEITH ALLEN He swung the door wide and proceeded to thesecond floor, turned to his left and opened a door. The lettering on it read "Dean of Men." "Why the helldid you buy a bus?" he was asked. He really didn't know why, he just—well, just bought a bus. It'd begreat for hunting and fishing trips and camping trips' and keg parties, and skiing trips and taking just allover the place. "I see no reason for your refusing to sell me a parking permit," he retaliated. "Maybe youcould sell me two . . ." "The college is not going to provide space for that thing." That's the way it went.But maybe they could sell him two. There was no reason he could see for it, they just wouldn't sell himone. It's my means of transportation, thought his brain, rumbling with disagreement. What right havethey to not let me park iti? Too bad he hadn't told the Dean that. "I shouldn't have told him it was a 48passenger bus, his last thoughts* on] the subject concluded. "That alienated him." STUDENT LOANSWe Can't Afford to go 'Ivy League' By JUDY BORMAN While Western students were placidly penningtheir signatures to the National Defense Student Loan loyalty oath, other students the nation over rose up in violent protest to this same provision. From Maine to Oregon a battle of college presses continues to rage, as emphatic editorals, both denouncing and advocating the oath, regularly make the newsstands. It has become a highly debatable issue, this question of the loyalty oath provision. Should a free thinking college student have to prove his loyalty! Probably the most objectionable oath is the"disclaimer affidavit" which reads, "I do not believe in, and am not a member of and do not support anyorganization that believes in or teaches the overthrow of the United States government." It is only logicalto assume that an individual with subversive thoughts would sign this statement. The thing that isrubbing most schools the wrong way is the fact that students, as a group, have been singled out topromise not to participate in un-American activities; farmers receive billions of dollars worth offederal aid with nary a word. It is commonly felt that if the government feels it is necessary for collegestudents to affirm their loyalty in a negative statement such as this, then the government is displaying an unwarranted lack of confidence in it's youth. Setting the pace in this argument are the Ivy Leaguecolleges, Harvard, Yale and Princeton have refused to accept the aid, calling the affidavit"discriminatory, unfair and futile" while The American Council on Education forcibly echoed thesesentiments. The organization voted to support the elimination of the disclaimer affidavit and theNational Subcommittee on Education rallied quickly to their wholehearted support of the bill proposedto delete the oath end affidavit. But the struggle didn't end there for the bill was blocked in Congress bythe backers of the bill who claim that if the state is going to pay the piper it is most certainly going to call the tune. President Dwight D. Eisenhower has been quoted as saying the loyalty oath is sufficient initself. Many colleges have followed the lead of the big three. Will we? February 5, 1960 WESTERNWASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 3 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 5 - Page 4 ---------- others, like Western, who can't afford to refuse aid because of these oaths. Almost all the collegesprotest that the affidavit is inane and superfluous, but colleges, like ours, can do little more than express their opposition in the hopes that the boys in Washington will take note and repeal the requirement. A I SERIES Color, lighting and movement Whitecaps foamed on the choppy waters of the bay. Smoke,streaming ribbonlike from the high stack of the cement plant diffused over the city, disappearing in ahaze against the grey-blue sky. Wind blown rain joined the slate blue waters of the bay. This impression of blue, grey, and white was further emphasized inside the dimly lighted auditorium of the Music building on Tuesday morning, as the assemblage of students received their fir.'t glimpse of Daniel Nagrin, famedr - ' e r n dancer, standing immobile i~i blazing white attire against a back eround of deep blue. This air of melodrama was maintained throug-out the performance as Mr. Nagrin, in intensely controlledmovements, conveyed his portrayal of life. A feeling of despair and intense emotion prevailed, brokenonly briefly during the selection "Man of Action," which was a comical satire of man's never ending raceagainst time. Another of the best received selections was "Strange Hero," portraying a "tough guy with a heart of gold." NAC SYMPHONETTE From Maine to Mexico A distinguished ensemble of first-chairvirtuosi drawn from the major orchestras in the country, with famous pianist, Amparo Iturbi as soloist, and William Haaker, conductor, will be our guests Tuesday, February 9, at 10 o'clock in the CollegeAuditorium. Haaker, whose tours have taken him to the Netherlands, Canada, Mexico, and Cuba, hasreceived raves from both critics and audiences, everywhere he has been. Today, Haaker divides his timebetween approximately 100 recitals from Maine to Mexico each season, his permanentconductorship of the Virginia and Syracuse Symphony Orchestras, and the National ArtistsSymphonette. Amparo Iturbi, Spanish-born pianist, has been acclaimed in Europe, Latin America, andthe United States by critics and concert audiences as one of the most gracious and talented bey-boardvirtuosos currently before the public. As a child she dreamed of becoming an opera singer and oftenperformed complete arias accompanied by her older brother, Jose Iturbi. Her poten- PlAY "Where'sCharley?" "My darling, my darling . . ."

Thesuccess of her first piano recital in the Conservatory of Valencia resulted in an invitation to give a second recital in Barcelonia. The great Spanish composer, Enrique Gsarados, became not only her musicalcompanion but a friend of life long standing. Today, Miss Iturbi is considered one of the foremostinterpreters of the works of this great Spanish musical artist. Well-known for her brilliantinterpretations of the music of Scarlatti, Haydn, Mozart, ana Liszt, she is equally admired for herinterpretation of such Spanish composers as Albeniz and Soles. In addition to her concert activities,Miss Iturbi has recorded extensively for RCA Victor in both solo piano and duo piano works with herbrother, Jose; and has performed in motion pictures, radio, and television. hall outside the two broaddoors of the Rec Hall.

In a white tee-shirt, Tom Aston, as Charley's aunt (and also as Charley) bursts onto the setting ofbenches and chairs.

Page 4 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIANFebruary 5, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 5 - Page 5 ---------- WHO DICTATES THE STUDENTS' POLICIES? Faculty Speaks . . . An Uncomfortable Situation (THISWEEK'S COVER STORY) Silly asinine questions, emitted by a small group of silly asses have causeda great many problems on the Faculty Speaks series. Now is the time for something to be done aboutthis. The idea of these small meetings is very good, but the results may well be disastrous if theirgnorant, unfruitful questioning continues. Emerging from Playboy? The most recent example of afaculty member on the spot is George Gerhard, the bearded, sauvely dressed individual, who appearsto have emerged from Playboy Magazine instead of Western's Psychology department. Gerhard feltthat some students directed questions at him in an attempt to put a label on his philosophies. "It wasan uncomfortable situation to be in," commented Gerhard. "You cannot respond in two or three glibstatements your entire philosophy of life, and the questions directed toward me forced me to make manyuncomfortable statements." Whers does the blame lie? Could some of it be placed on Rev. Lyls Sel-lards who is in charge of the program? Sellards decided this quarter that no faculty pictures were to betaken by the Collegian because he disapproved of it. When we reminded him that this was a publicmeeting open to everyone including the free press, he stated, "I don't care about freedom of the press,the freedom to do what?" He also told the Collegian reporter covering Dr. Van AVer's talk, not to writeanything down. Has Rev. Sellards forgotten that he is a guest of the students in their building?Permission for these talks is granted by the Legislature. Just what are his motives? Can there be areason for Sellards' sudden Campus interest? Gerhard described his frightful experience on theFaculty Speaks series as one he would not repeat. One could hardly blame him after some of thequestions directed at him. Most campus activities are done with a rhyme and a reason. The suddeninterest in our campus by Rev. Sellards is fine but should he be allowed to try to dictate policy in theSTUDENT'S UNION BUILDING and toward the Campus Newspaper? The Editor GERHARD SPEAKS"Atheist, Christian or Beatnik?" "A traumatic experience" is the way George Gerhard described hisrecent appearance on the Faculty Speaks series. Tims a'ter time a few individuals tried to pinGerhard down on a personal or controversial question. Each time he deployed their attention oranswered at a level they were unprepared for. Gerhard did have some definite ideas concerningcreativity. He felt that society should allow the creative person all sorts of behavior to develop his creative spirit. The person with a "Society should allow the creative person to express himself." Toward atraumatic experience creative seed should be allowed to express himself. Gerhard, presently workingon his doctor's degree at the University of Oregon, describes himself as a humanist. "I feel that manhimself is like a god, but maybe I am suffering from the old Greek notion of Hubris," commentedGerhard. Be Emotionally Free When quizzed on the subject of nonconformity, Gerhard commented,"To advance you must be free from group activity; a good example is science. In order for this to advance the scientist must be intellectually and emotionally free from conformity — the latter is more importantthan is usually recognized. Speaking on beatnikism he felt that this was nothing more than a repetition of bohemianism. "The stress for non-conformity in the beatnik may create another norm of stricterconformity," concluded Gerhard. This ended George Gerhard's appearance on the Faculty Speaksseries without being pinned downed or labeled as an atheist, Christian or beatnik. To ensure a happyending put your own label on Gerhard. February 5, I960 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 5 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 5 - Page 6 ---------- RUSSIA The Children Don't Hate By KAREN BAINTOR The silver faced clock in the Campus SchoolAuditorium said 7:50. A big, blue-suited man entered smiling, set his stuff down on the floor by the door,was greeted by a woman and a girl in blue, and put his checkered top coat on one of the first row seats.People came wandering in — some dressed up, some in school clothes. Some talked, some studied,and some just sat politely, waiting. At 7:59 the velvet curtains were drawn revealing a white moviescreen, and finally ,at 8:10, the girl in blue stepped forward and introduced the smiling blue-suited manwho was to speak. "We think that the goal is self-discipline. Over there it's a superimposed type ofthing . . ." Speaking on "Education in Russia," Robert Chis-holm, Superintendent of Sedro-WoolleyPublic Schools, talked to a mixed group of S.W.E.A. members, Kappa Alpha Pi members, students, and faculty Monday night. Chisholm was with a group of 60 United States school superintendents whotoured the Soviet Union for a month finding out about the Soviet educational system. The Most Eager are Encouraged Chisholm explained that the young Russian's education begins in nursery schools andkindergartens so he is usually "well house broken" when he begins grammar school. In grammar schoolall children are pushed through the same curriculum, and are required to take a certain amount ofvocational training. Only the most eager and the best students are "encouraged" to go on to highschool. He reflected that "There is a difference between a training and an education . . . Not once in allthe schools I visited did I ever hear one child ask one question in any class." Telling of the strictregimentation of the schools, he commented, "I think it stifles creativity." Chisholm held up a brightgreen, yellow and red poster advertising the Young Pioneers—the party operated social life of the young children. Young Pioneers is the Communist answer to extra curricular activities and clubs. Held in thenicest building in town, the Young Pioneers gives the children instruction and help in two areas thatinterest them. The oath on the poster was written in Russian, but Chisholm read the translation: "I, ayoung pioneer of the Soviet Union, before my comrades give this oath, to love the Soviet Union, to live, to study, and to fight according to the teaching of Lenin and in the way the Communist party teaches." At9:45 the lights went out and slides were shown of the different schools, children, and people. An eightfloor, elavatorless school using "typical Soviet logic" with the first graders on the top floor, was seen.So were a gold bust of Lenin, various children's faces, masses of banners, legends, slogans, and chartsplastered all over everything, and a filthy out-house type toilet in one of the newest and modernestschools. The Evils of the U. S. Many other ideas and stories were discussed—of the elevator operatorwearing a perfect attendance Sunday school pin from the U.S., of the students whom he talked with, of their young blonde guide, Irene, who was quite a party girl — Communist party, of the larger population of cars in downtown Sedro-Woolley than downtown Moscow, and of the stereotyped views of the evilsof the United States which are fed to the population. The clock on the wall said 9:50, and he was donetalking. By 9:53, the room was vacant except for a few, but there was a mass of thought material thathad been presented, and a mass of pictures of a world that could only be imagined not comprehended, floated in various suboon-sciouses. Pictures like the one envisioned as Chisholm said "The faces ofchildren are not the faces of enemys." But also the pictures of signs saying "Reach and OutreachCapitalism" or "Pass and Surpass U. S." The clock on the wall said 10:00 . . . LEGISLATUREIndifference Reigned Supreme The usual air of uncertainty lay like a cloud over the Legislature table last week as ASB President, Bob Gustavson, called the meeting to order. This uncertainty was notrelegated solely to the Legislature, as the few faithful onlookers who were present also found it difficult to tell what was going on. The probable high point of the meeting was the report presented by Mr.Haglund, the faculty adviser of the Co-op Bookstore Board. The Legislature sat dumbfounded as Mr.Haglund attempted to explain to them just what had happened to $15,000 which was shown to bemissing from ASB finances. Haglund stated that last year the $15,000 was unexpectedly paid to aSeattle bank as interest on ASB bonds. This money was incorrectly appropriated and improperly re-• J^^^B^^^HB •HM Page 6 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN February 5, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 5 - Page 7 ---------- corded so that the deficit was not discovered until recently. This leaves the ASB an extra $15,000 inthe red added to a $5,000 deficit budget. Haglund and ASB Finance Chairman, Jerry Baker, were askedto pursue the problem further. Indifference reigned supreme as the Legislature quickly ran through theagenda. Then a request by Joe Davies, rugby coach, brought a glint of interest from the Board. Daviesrequested the sanction of the Legislature for the rugby team to travel to Monterey, California, toparticipate in a rugby tournament. Approval was given, overriding objections raised by Dr. Ceder-strom. Soon the mighty rap of the ponderous presidential gavel brought the meeting to a close as theLegislature in their uncertain and unconvincing manner ended their unsuccessful fiasco. MARILYNBAKER A Weekend in New York Friday, January 15, while most Western students were trudgingbetween their classes, Marilyn Baker was fly- - ing from Seattle to New York to visit the United Nations. Marilyn was chosen by the United Council of Churches to watch the U.N. and U.S. legislative bodies inaction. In New York, she met approximately thirty other college students from all over the country to tour New York and Washington, D.C. She had the opportunity to sit in on meetings of the Civil RightsCommittee and the Trusteeship Council of the UN. Later, the group met and talked with Polish andRussian representatives to the UN who gave them propaganda material. In Washington, the studentswere given passes admitting them to any part of the capitol. They attended a banquet for Governor Longof Hawaii and explored the state department where Secretary of State, Herter, spoke to them. Marilynwas the guest of Senator Humphrey at a luncheon and also met Edith Greene from Oregon. The groupattended sessions of both the House and Senate. Still, they found time to go sightseeing in New York,Washington, D.C, and in Virginia where Marilyn saw George Washington's plantation. Monday,January 25, she again boarded a plane and returned to Western and her daily classes after a very long week-end. UNION BOARD Who Will Pay? With the rap of chairman Jack Ra-bourn's gavel, this week'sViking Union Board meeting was under way. The first order of business was Daryl Zentner's report on the bids from B P and Canteen to finish the VU recreation room. Because he hadn't sufficient time tocompare the two bids, Zentner asked that the Board not make a decision on this matter until the nextmeeting. "Who will pay for the extra janitorial help required after special events in the VU?," was thenext question for discussion. It was decided that the Social Board should be required to pay for all of the extra help that the head custodian feels is necessary when dances, etc., are held after the regular VUbuilding hours. The Social Board will not have to pay this cost for clubs that sponsor dances and arecharged a service fee. Ernest Hinds was then introduced to the Board. Hinds presented the threesuggested stereosystems. The Board accepted one of the three systems, and the specifications ofthis system will be the basis of bids for the installation of a stereo set in the music room of the VU.Other items discussed during the meeting were, the ventilation in the Coffee Shop, the apparel beingworn by the girls working in the Coffee Shop, and finding a better time for the Board's meetings. This last point mentioned caused the most discussion, and after many meeting times were suggested, andjust as many thrown out, it was decided that the VU Board will meet next Monday at 7:00 . . as usual.JUNIOR PROM The Same People Around The Same Stool It began with an idea. It began in the VikingUnion with ten people crowded informally around one of the new red, oversized lounging stools. Thesame people crowded around the same stool the next week and the week after that, planning intently.Out of the gathering came another idea and still more ideas centering around chatter concerning a band, a place and a theme. The people? Lynda Mandich, Dick Larson, Brenda Lindsley, Lori Spring, DorisMcLean, Pat Kaye, Sally Fugitt, Marcy Waite, Kay Johnston, Marshall Bronson and Carol Kimball. Their title? Junior Prom Committee. Finally the date became clear. Saturday, March 5, 1960, it was entered into the record books by co-chairman Miss Kimball and Bronson. The Western Washington College gymnasium was designated as the space to be turned into a ballroom that evening between the hours of 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. All that was needed was a band to provide rhythm for the formal-attired dancers.The name of the Marty Simons organization was volunteered and became a part of the planningtabulations. Five Candidates What about a queen for the dance? Miss McLean and Miss Spring assured the junior planners that five candidates would be chosen at a future junior class meeting with thewinning lady to be crowned at intermission by class president, Dick Canfield. All that was left was thetheme. A debate that lasted out two of these meetings terminated in an agreeable choice. The choice?Unheard by Viking ears until a future date close to March.

These words, spoken by DeanMcDonald, reflect concern over what the administration feels is a definite need here at Western. Asthe number of college students increase, traffic and parking problems become more acute. Eventually apoint is reached where the employment of a full-time marshal becomes desirable. Evidently Western has arrived at this point. Prosecutor, Lawyer, Judge The new Marshal's name and rank are Dysart OliverMaconaghie, Lt-. Commander, U.S.N., Ret. A thirty year Navy man, Maconaghie has a background inlaw as impressive as that of a Supreme Court Judge. His experience includes positions as prosecutor, lawyer, defense council, and judge for the Navy. During World War II, the Commanding Officer ofLakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey was instructed to organize a security force. The man heassigned to this task was Commander Maconaghie. The result was a well disciplined force that quicklyestablished itself as one of the best. In fact, it was his work as head of this agency that was to earn himan invitation to serve on New Jersey's Board of Intelligence—the only military man so honored. Uponhis retirement, Mr. Maconaghie applied for the position of Campus Marshal for two reasons: HighQuality of Students First, a professional military man usually finds complete retirement impossible,and, second, he tends to look down on all other professions, with the exception of education. In Mr.Maconaghie's words, "I have learned to have quite a bit of respect for these faculty members, for the high quality of men and women who are students here, and for their dedication to what they are workingfor." To date the new Marshal is "most satisfied" with his job. Part of this may be attributed to the factthat nonspecific working hours fit easily into his energetic routine.

Without it much of what the ties, plans for immediate and future building programs, and properties slated forpurchase. This research provided a groundwork upon which a plan Marshal has accomplished wouldhave been impossible. Most of Mr. Maconaghie's work has centered around immediate and futureparking needs. During the last summer, he examined all college proper- DYSART MACONAGHIEReputation of College and Student Important to provide continued parking facilities was devised. Otherresponsibilities of the Marshal are: traffic control, security, and the investigation of any violations of thelaw on campus. The traffic situation is difficult, especially following large gatherings such as ball gamesand auditorium events. Part of this problem has been solved through the use of a student assistant whoacts as "ti-affic cop" and is in charge of "external security"; that is, he directs traffic and keeps an eyeon the campus. "Internal security" is basically a matter of checking doors, examining buildings forintruders, and watching Page 8 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN February 5, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 February 5 - Page 9 ---------- for outbreaks of fire. This job is handled by another student assistant. The two assistants report toMarshal Maconaghie who, in turn, is responsible to Dean McDonald. The Marshal, a deputizedmember of the Bellingham Police Department, feels his police powers should be exercised carefully.Furthermore, the reputation of the college and the individual student are uppermost in his mind. When asked how he has been received by faculty members and the student body, Mr. Maconaghie had this to say: "I have received 100% cooperation from the entire faculty and student body, and particularlythe student body, in resolving traffic and parking problems here at the college. Out of this cooperationhas grown an orderly parking pattern that has brought favorable comment from the Bellingham PoliceDepartment." Dean McDonald has his first class cop . . . YOUNG DEMOCRATS More Political Interest "Happily surprised and enthused," were the dynamic words spoken by the organizer of the WWC YoungDemocratic Club, Gary Odegaard, last Monday afternoon after the third in. a series of organizational meetings. "I am happily surprised and enthused with the number of students and the amount of interestshown in the club thus far," Odegaard commented. "More political interest is needed on campus,however; and I welcome a Young Republican club to give us some competition to stir up moreinterest," he concluded. IRC SPONSORS UGLY MAN The International Relations club, under thedirection of president, Mike Barnhart and Model United Nations delegation chairman, Marshall Bron-son,is planning to send seven students to the Model United Nations to be held next month at TheUniversity of California, Berkley. The students to attend will be chosen by the IRC and will representJordan at the delegation. In order to raise the necessary $800 the club will sponsor an Ugliest Man onCampus competition with votes costing a nickel apiece. • Star Rexall Drug Co.

Defensive Show Page TO By TONYWHITEFIELD Coach Jack Hubbard's Western Washington Vikings firmly got back on the winning tracklast week-end with a pair of Evergreen Conference victories. Friday the Viks put the clamps on the high-flying UPS Loggers and came out with a 52-45 victory, and then on Saturday night the Hubbard-mendumped the Central Washington College Wildcats by a 63-54 count. Against the University of PugetSound, WWC put on a terrific defensive show. The highlight of the victory was the close guarding ofDerm Cunningham and Gary Mose, as the two back court men teamed up to hold the diminutive 5'8",but high-scoring Logger guard, Bill Demick, to no points. Demick failed to send the ball through the hoop all night—a tribute to the fine defensive strategy of Hubbard and the defensive Viking guards. From theoutset of the game, it appeared to be a slow game with very little scoring. Western trailed at the half, 19-23, and the Loggers kept their lead through most of the second half until big Jim Greer led the Viks outof the wilderness. Greer and Mose sparked a WWC splurge that overcame UPS and gave Western a52-45 victory over the UPS team that had beaten Western by 14 points in Tacoma last month. Greer,Mose, and Ron Crowe were high scorers for the Vikings. Strength on the Bench On Saturday night,the game with Central was a better played one for the Vikings. Although the Viks led most of the way,the Wildcats from Ellensburg were in contention all the way until the final few minutes. Ron Crowepicked up three quick fouls and had to ride the bench for most of the night. Ron only picked up threepoints —far below his normal output, but those three quick fouls early in the game were a tremendoushandicap for Crowe. However, the Viks marched on. WWC's weekend play in becoming somewhat of abasic pattern now. This weekend it was the same old story, which was emphasized Saturday night. TheVikings bench strength payed off again. Once more, Hubbard sent in WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN several reserves who picked up the slack left by the starters they replaced. TerryClayton, Gary Mose, and Ron Saltis did a terrific job of replacing some of the starting five. Mose, RON CROWE . . . Scoring Below Par playing his old high school spot at forward, showed some of the glitterhe had as a standout at Arlington high four years ago. Clayton's all-around play sparkled, and Saltiscame up with some key goals at the right time. Jim Greer, who had a whale of a weekend, and EdVadset led the Viking scorers with a terrific inside and outside scoring punch. This weekend theVikings are out of town as they travel to the Spokane area to meet EWC and Whitworth College. Then in two weeks, Western plays a series with PLC. On Friday, February 12, the Viks are at Parkland and then Saturday, February 13, the WWC gym will be packed to capacity when the Vikings aim for a shotat Kansas City with a win over the Lutes.

It was a game thatwas decided by physical fitness. The Wanderers, who were a veil educated team in the fundamentalsof rugby, made a real game of it in the first half, but gave way to the youthful Vikings, who put on theirbest display of rugby this season. Instead of defeating their opponents by brawn alone, the Vikingscombined good hard fackling with accurate passing and properly timed pop-kicking, which roach JoeDavies has been trying to stress in turnout. If you wanted to describe the game in just two words youcould say: Ron Ladines." The speedy winger scored four tries to be the game's hish scorer with twelvepoints. Two of his tries were runs over fifty yards long. Other Vikings who played an exceptional gamewere Mathison, Hatch, and Cooper. Dick Hayes scored a try for 3 points; Denny Kimmel scored a try for 3 points; Pete Napper scored a try and two converts for 7 points; Jack Sim kicked one convert for 2points; Al Matheson scored a penalty kick for 3 points to round off the Viking's scoring. Western toCalifornia All six of the Wanderer's points were scored by captain Roy Mason who kicked two penaltykicks. In a post-game interview he said that it was good to play against young players who putfundamentals of the game before, what he called, actions which are not in the spirit of the game. Whenquestioned about how Western would do in the invitational in California he said, "Western will berepresented by a group of fine young gentlemen who play good hard rugby." Similar compliments were added by the refree, a former student of Western, Bill Wes-cott. Game Moved to Battersby Tomorrow'sgame will be played at Battersby Field where Western is host to Vancouver C.Y.O. During last season, C.Y.O. was the only team to score a try on the Vikings. A slight admission will be charged in order to raise money for their trip to California. A good representation by the student body would show ourruggers that somebody is behind them. RUGBY The Scrum Packs Around THE CONFERENCE KEYBy DOUG SIMPSON There has been a great deal of speculation as to Western's chances of winning the Evergreen Conference basketball championship. Jack Hubbard's roundballers have beeninvincible at home, winning seven straight contests. However, they have played mediocre .500 ball on theroad, and haven't won a conference game away from home yet. This weekend the Viks are in Spokane,playing Eastern tonight and Whit-worth tomorrow night. These games will undoubtedly indicate whetheror not Western is in the running for the title. Therein lies the key to Western's basketball future for theseason. The Viks are going to have to start winning on the road consistently, or goodbyechampionship.

One resigningperson put the reason for his resignation in these words: "Grades this quarter and grades last quarter."Former Collegian Editor Ken Robertson resigned from his post on the Collegian as well as from theLegislature and the Union Board. He nearly had to resign from all his classes, too. The chief order ofbusiness for the day appeared to be the selection of a Collegian editor for winter and spring quarter.There were three trying for the position, one a former journalist of the Bellingham Herald. He argued for anewspaper format and a strict separation of fact from opinion. His opposition, coming from the twoother candidates, argued that a clean break between these cannot be made, and supported the format of a newsmagazine. Staffers for the Collegian last quarter, Greer and Simpson, a Legislator, were fora co-editorship, while Howard DeWitt, another staff member with ideas of his own, brought in the onlynew idea for the Collegian. It was to save money. This lit do!"?r signs in the eyes of the entireLegislature. DeWitt's idea for the magazine was to have it printed on campus by the IA Department.He planned two. printed here this quarter, and then possibly every issue for next year, if the plan couldbe arranged. His proposition included more color, design and less cost to the tune of $2,500 per year. The Bellingham Herald, on campus to "get the facts" said he "promised" to publish the Collegian oncampus, which DeWitt said was a misinterpretation. He said he promised he would try to have suchdone. A Great Crisis Old editor Robertson expounded on ideas and "My God, the standards," amongother things, and columnist Bob Stevenson said something that must have been equally important. JudyBorman commented to the support of Doug Simpson (Greer, as it WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN turned out, was ineligible) and Publications Advisor, Hansen, said all of the candidateswere well-qualified. All concerned entered with some comment and this put the Legislature into amess that held them back for an hour and a half. Dr. Cederstrom objected to a motion which proposedthe election of editor by secret ballot. At this point Mr. Brown interjected. "Do you know, Dr. Cederstrom, why the elections in the United States of America are always by secret ballot?" The Legislature votedby secret ballot. After another order of business was dealt with and put aside, ASB President BobGustavson announced that congratulations were in order for Howard DeWitt, new Collegian editor. Otherevents at the meeting included the postponement of the selection of a Klipsun editor, to replaceresigning Dennis Wakkuri. The only other significant event at the meeting was the appearance o?President James Jarrett. Though he had planned only to observe the meeting this time, Bob Gustavson asked him if he would care to speak. Gustavson asked Jarrett if he would like to speak. Jarrett askedGustavson if he would like him to speak, and caused Gustavson to pause thoughtfully. It must have been a great crisis. WRITERS ATTENTION If you have ideas you would like to express and wish to write forthe Collegian, attend the meeting Monday evening, February 18, at 7:00 in Room 3 of the VikingUnion. (The Collegian office) There are openings for all types of writers: feature, news, sports andsociety. The Collegian has a new imaginative style of journalism directed at you. So be sure and attendthis important meeting, if you are interested in becoming a part of this growing organization. o Thelast chance for Klipsun portraits will be January 19, 20, 21 in room 6 of the Viking Union. Allappointments have to be made through the downtown office of Jukes Studio, 108 N. Commercial.January 15, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 January 15 - Page 3 ---------- NEW EDITOR NAMED "The Pursestrangs Pulled" By LIZ SUNDSTROM "I believe I can offer you thepresent quality of the newsmagazine, an enlarged staff, some new ideas, and the beginning of anoperation that could make the Collegian an entirely campus-produced publication . . ." wrote Howard DeWitt in a letter of application for the Co'legian editorship, Jan. 6. De Witt's proposals were startling tothe Legislature prepared to select a new editor. Doug Simpson and John Greer, co-applicants andseasoned Collegian writers, told the Legislature they would retain the same format and make only minorpersonnel changes. Jack Sigurdson presented an impressive record with experience as the former editor of the St. Helens Sentinal-Mist, a writer for the Bellingham Herald, and as the news director for KPUG,Bellingham and KBRC, Mount Vernon. He promised that if he were appointed editor, he would returnto a tabloid newspaper format including "departmentalization of news areas and separation of news andopinion." However, De Witt knew the way to the student body's heart was through its skimpypocketbook. "New Idea In An Early Stage" Talking with the old Editor, Ken Robertson, and members ofthe Industrial Arts department, De Witt found that it would be possible to save the student body atleast $2,500 by publishing the paper on campus. He discovered that by working with the Industrial Artsdepartment he could print the paper in four colors on better quality paper and with more art design inthe layout. De Witt stated that the cost of a sixteen-page colored issue would be $75 less than that ofthe regular twelve-page, black-and-white newsmagazine, if bigger presses can be obtained. The Industrial Arts department could cut the cost of publication to $292. De Witt added that he hopes to raise theCollegian's standards of excellence by inviting more 7H English students to write on the staff. Pennies From Heaven The Legislature was overcome. With the student body operating on a deficit budget, the legislators have been strictly observing the proverb, "A penny saved is a penny earned." De Witt's words fell from his tongue like pennies from heaven. The Legislature readily appointed him editor. De Witt, asophomore, has already established a substantial reputation as a journalist. As a senior at Lincoln HighSchool in Seattle, he served in an editorial position on his school paper. He also has experience reporting for two community weeklies and for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Winter quarter of last year, he wasawarded the Clarence Soukup Trophy for the most dependable cub reporter. This year, he HOWARDDeWITT "A Lively, Vivid Style" held the position of assistant editor and wrote a weekly sports column.Since former editor Robertson introduced the Collegian's newsmagazine format and invited its writers to be "creative," the publication has aroused much criticism both on and off campus. The Collegian hasbeen called "unoriginally half-baked" and "adolescently sacrilegious." Many have complained that toomuch space has been devoted to the inspired ramblings of Collegian inkslingers and that the news hasbeen ignored. As editor of the Collegian, De Witt promises to make a distinction between fact and fancy, and to undertake more complete news coverage. "Old news is history," says De Witt, "One of my aimswill be to present the current campus picture in a lively, vivid style." VIKING UNION "A One-Act Mystery" People drifting in and out, a table set with coffee and cake, the muted sounds of Johnny Mathis—thiswas the setting for the first Viking Union Board meeting of the quarter. The cast, headed by JackRabourn, was seated around the table, waiting for a rap of the gavel, the cue for the first act to begin.The one act mystery begins with the central theme of "lots of discussion, little decision." Discussed, atgreat lengths, was the request by the A.S.B. legislature that the board take inventory on all A.S.B.owned furnishings in the Viking Union Building. This was tabled until next week because, "No formalaction is required at this time." The next scene of interest, was that prompted by Chairman JackRabourn's remarks to the effect that the apparel being worn to college functions is getting moredistasteful all the time. He felt, and the board agreed, that better dressed students would behave withbetter manners. After proposing and disposing of many suggested solutions to the problem, the boarddropped this matter. They all agreed SOMETHING should be done—but what? Closely corresponding to the above topic was the discussion on the sponsorship of dances, and the cutting down on thenumber of mixers to provide for more varied activities in the VU. This was tabled until the meetingbetween the Union Board and the Student Legislature, which is to take place Saturday. The final sceneof the meeting was one of mystery. Will the Union Board purchase a five year supply of stationery for$60.00? Tune in next week for, "The Union Board Paces Life." WUS Assembly Tuesday, 10 a.m., is thetime set for the World University Service kickoff assembly. "A Light Along The Way" will be shown andBob Gustavson will represent the co-chairmen, Arlene Richens, Roger Hyppa and Ken Haag. Musicalentertainment will be provided by The Legends, Mike Hall's quartet.

For the first time, Western's forensics club acted as host to a high school debatetournament and the result was one, long weekend of nervous excitement, explosive performances andsome interesting contests. The Judges Compare Under the direction of Bob and Pat Pike, co-chairmen, and Dr. Herbold, advisor, speech students and miscellaneous bystanders were recruited and scheduled as judges. The signal was given, and the tournament began. Blanchet High School took tophonors in junior division impromptu, oral interpretation and extemporary speaking. While winning schoolsin the impromptu senior, oral interpretation senior, original oratory, extemp senior, oxford junior, oxfordsenior, and Lincoln- Douglas debate were Franklin, Shoreline, South Kitsap, Franklin, Bellingham,Holy Rosary and Federal Way. o Letter Bob Stevenson: I suggest that you learn more of science andscientists before you write another inane article like the one printed in the Christmas issue of theCollegian. One can hardly blame a Fermi for a T.V. dinner anymore than you can blame some hideousbillboard on a Van Gogh. E. Neuzil Assistant Professor of Chemistry Page 4 CHRISTMAS ISSUE ADead Controversy By KAREN BAINTER Arranged in the cubicals on the 1st floor hall of Old Main werethe black and gold-covered Christmas Collegians. They looked innocent enough. Two thousand fivehundred pairs of eyes looked over the newsmagazine, read it, or ignored it. Two thousand five hundredbrains assimilated and formed opinions; or didn't, but formed opinions anyway. Two thousand fivehundred persons got mad or agreed, talked it over, and showed it to other:;. In the Coffee Shop, in OldMain, in the Library, in the classrooms, walking along the campus, everywhere there was opinion.Opinion was off the campus too. KVOS-radio did anews commentary program on the Collegian andthe Christmas issue. Sitting in his office on the main floor of the V.U., Director of Student Affairs, Barney Goltz, gave his views. "For one thing it certainly aroused more discussion than any issue I've ever seen. Parts of it may have been in "bad taste" but I think it is good to have open expression of ideas, and notexpect conformity or even acceptance of popular ideas of college students at all times." Beat Writingand Freedom . . . "There should have been a balancing out," is the opinion of Bill Hoyt of KVOS. He feltthe school was not totally represented by the style of "Beat" writing included in the issue, but he alsofeels that a person has the right to freedom of expression. Finishing a lettuce and tomato sandwich inthe coffee shop, freshman Terry Hunt said, "It made you think. I liked it, but the article about the girlwho didn't believe in Christianity should have been written so it didn't look as if the school wascondemning Christianity." Two other girls sitting with her thought that it was real good — a change.Top-coated, ivy-hatted, M a r s h a ll Bronson was definite. "I thought the cover was nice. The contentswere out of place. A crude attempt to be like Hemingway and Dos Passos written with a lead hand."Rene' Philipart reacted emphatically. "I think it was lousy. I do not say that I can do any better but I amsure that in this college somewhere there are students that are able to write some things that makesense." I/ESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Bearded Dr. Flora contemplated, "The appearance wasvery attractive. I thought the contents were very poor, and my own personal bias is that I don't care whatit looks like." Vowing a long time ago not to have anything to do with the Collegian, Mr. Hiller didn't sayanything. Sitting nearby Dr. Cedestrom commented that he had looked at the cover and thought it waspretty but he didn't read it. 'I Thought it Stunk . . .' A girl in the library violently stated. "I thought it stunk!I didn't think it was an appropriate thing to write for Christmas!" "I think it was untimely. I think it lackedfinesse. I think it lacked maturity." This was the opinion of dark-haired legislator, Mike Barnhart. Amember of the staff, Gordon MOs, reflected, "I was sorry to have my name associated with the issue."Hanging Gidgets and Gadaets . . . Also a staff member, Bob Stevenson felt this way, "Christmas ispresumably the birth date of Christ. Therefore, Christmas in this day and age ought to be a churchholiday and not a wild fling of gift giving and receiving, of chopping down a tree and hanging gidgetsand gadgets on it, and Santa Clauses and reindeers. Christmas in America is primarily showing one'ssuccess by the type of gift he can give at Christmas time. Therefore the Collegian, although it hurt thepride of many people, was very appropriate." 'Imaginative, Creative . . .' Lyn Hopkins in a red paisley print was enthusiastic, feeling that it was imaginative and creative. She liked the art work and the idea thatit's possible to express out-of-the-ordinary ideas without getting condemned. Sophomore, WayneHarmon expounded. "I thought it was pretty good. It was different—kind of an interesting sidelighton our society." Having mixed feelings about the issue, Dr. Herbold was a bit bothered by the profanity,while he liked the beatnik poem. He was expecting the tradition and beauty of Christmas in theissue—not cynicism. These are the varying opinions of a few—the " result of a black-and-gold-enclosed^ l6 pages. But no matter what was bad or good about the Christmas edition, there livesafterwards the beginnings of an idea. An idea which may soon enable the Collegian to be publishedat the college itself instead of at the costlier print shops. January 15, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 January 15 - Page 5 ---------- FACULTY SPEAKS With Your Own Ideas The concept of personality, the importance of the individual, the relevance of the machine age, and playing the role of God were just a few ideas conveyed by Dr.Angelo Anastasio in his recent appearance on "The Philosophy of Life" series. "My philosophy of lifeis based upon the concept of the individual and his personality. I can't understand your generation,because I am too busy to take the time. However, what I have observed of your generation, I can seethat there may be a lack of individuality in personality development, and if this could be overcome agreat deal would be gained." "The Role of God" Anastasio orated that instructors played the role of Godby influencing the student in the classroom. "An instructor's ideas are often the guiding light in astudent's philosophy." He also felt that meetings like the present philosophy series are helpful inreaching an understanding between the faculty and students. A student asked Anastasio if he wasguided by his instructors. "I was an 'ornery cuss' and did things almost entirely on my own," saidAnastasio. "We lived in a different world than today's generation, mainly because of the depressionand the Second World War." Dr. Anastasio directed this remark toward Mr. Richard Whittemore, whonodded in agreement. "We had a great deal of maturity for young kids. We had to do things much moreon our own which resulted in early maturation." When asked what he thought of the machine age,Anastasio replied, "There is no use to try to buck the machine age; we created it and we need it." "Inclosing, the thing that I want you to remember is this, myVexperi-ences won't help you, but my ideasmay. You must go out and meet the world with your own ideas if you hope to carve a niche for yourself in society." CHUCK BERTRAND RHODES SCHOLARSHIP Western's Chuck Bertrand and thirteenother candidates from Washington State were interviewed for the Rhodes Scholarship at the WashingtonAthletic Club in Seattle, December 16. Questioned for forty minutes, the candidates were tested ontheir ability to think quickly, and on their grasp of their chosen fields. The Rhodes Scholarship to OxfordUniversity first offered in 1903, has been long coveted by top-ranking United States, British, and Germanscholars. Applicants are selected on the basis of their scholastic ability, character, qualities ofleadership, and interest in athletics. Although Bertrand was not chosen to compete at the districtmeeting in Portland, December 19, he established a "first" on our campus. Never before in the history ofWestern Washington College has the faculty endorsed any student's candidacy for this honor. European History and College Bertrand transferred to Western from the University of Idaho as a freshman. Duringthe last two years, he has not only established a reputation as an honor roll student, but has beenactive in both sports and campus affairs. He turned out for basketball and was a member of the varsitytennis team. This year, he is the score-keeper for the basketball team and participates in intramuralsports. In addition to these activities, Bertrand still finds time to work seven days a week as one of themen in the white jackets in Edens' dining room. He also serves as the Sergeant-at-Arr^s to theBachelor's Club and is the vi ^-president of Highland Hall. Majoring in' European history, Bertrand hopes to receive his master's degree and begin a college teaching career. Dr. Merle S. Kuder, Western'sPersonnel Director, said, "The college sponsored Bertrand for the Rhodes Scholarship only after athorough examination of all his potentialities and qualifications. A faculty committee was satisfied thathe would represent the college admirably, and that he was the kind of young American that would be acredit to his country and would profit from experience at Oxford."

Plain ordinary type green grass. Then there were surveyors and ideamen, tapes, pencils and blueprints. And the grass gave way to great machines—it was rolled up like acarpet and carted away. The hum of machinery and the roar of explosions became a part of thestudent's day as the excavation proceeded and soon they were laying a foundation for this,Western's two and a half million dollar edifice. This year the building is completing its metamorphosis.Gradually emerging from its skeletinal appearance, its spine of wood, steel and stone, the building isalready completed in the eyes of many of the science department's faculty. To them this building is adream in the last stage . . . a dream about to be realized. New worlds will be revealed to sciencestudents as the obscuring veil of poor equipment and inadequate space is drawn aside next year whenthe doors of the Haggard Hall of Science swing open. The student will be offered a whole new curriculum in the sciences. In the thirty main laboratorys workers will experiment in nuclear physics, electronics,chemistry, physiology, and geology. The greenhouses, located on the roof, will tell the tale about plantlife, and from the planetarium students can star-gaze to their hearts' content. Live animals will prowltheir cages while student biologists determine their fate, a seismograph, to record earth shocks, andother weather instruments will be installed. With the addition of new science technicians, studentswill even construct some of their own lab equipment. As to the comment that the present facilities areentirely inadequate, Dr. Knapman, professor of chemistry, calls this "the understatement of thecentury." He went on to claim the new building as the "best college physical science plant on thenorthwest coast." To Dr. Knapman, as to all the others on Western's staff, a dream is becoming anactuality as Haggard Hall emerges from its cocoon. By BOB STEVENSON When the whirling, myriad-colored leaves once again alight softly on the damp grass and blacktop walks, a huge building will beadmitting students into its numerous classrooms and labs. Presently it is rising from the mud, a half-completed shell consisting of dull gray slabs of concrete and large panes of dirty glass. As this great"Cyclops" rises from the mud, and hovers over the thousands who pass it every day, not many of themrealize how subservient they are becoming to science. Most students don't realize the underlyingsignificance of this huge plant, because they have been conditioned by the trend in our nation today of worshipping the one-eyed monster, science. The student doesn't think about this structure because allacross this nation there is the underlying trend, or perhaps fear, which tells him to support it. Ourleaders, panicked by our rivals, have placed a high premium on science and technology. Thegovernment passed a bill for federal aid to education which was justified as a defense need. Its primary!purpose is to extend aid in fields rev lated to national security which in-eludes, in this order, science,math and modern foreign languages (as they relate to national security). A sum of sixty-one million,six hundred thousand dollars was spent in 1958 just for improving the teaching of these courses. They have succeeded in overemphasizing science and in diminishing the value of humanities to a pointwh'.ra the idea of the cultured man is pushed almost out of existence. This structure which costs in theneighborhood of two - and - one - half million dollars, and takes up untold amounts of space, is dedicatedto science. Think about this for a time if you will; ask yourself if science is being overemphasized inthe world, in our country and even on our campus. In a world, and a nation for that matter, in which the scientist is as highly valued as our own, we must guard ourselves against over-technicalization. Wemust guard against it and strive for a balance between science and humanities before we becomebarbaric. When you once again walk ankle-deep through the bright splashy-colored leaves, a sciencebuilding will be dedicated. This writer tends to think that Thomas Jefferson's remark was more thancasual speculation when he said that, "The other planets use this one as a lunatic asylum."

You get an extra hour's sleep every 24 hours, but if you go east you lose an hour's sleep."Leaning back in his chair as he sat in his office, gray suited Howard Critchfield, Professor of Geography,talked intensely about the trip from which he and his family had just returned. Glancing occasionally atthe map of the world on the wall, Critchfield told of his 9 month trip around the world. Three months werespent in actual travel while he spent the other 6 months as visiting lecturer on climatology at theUniversity of Christ-church, New Zealand. He had the same visiting lecturer position 10 years previously and felt very honored to be invited back. His trip which included such places as New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, Columbia, Ceylon, Egypt, Italy, Switzerland, Western Germany, Holland,Belgium, and England, gave him some ideas and information which he feels will be useful in teaching."Complaints the World Over" While visiting various universities, Critchfield was able to comparefacilities and approach with teachers elsewhere in the world. In talking to the various professors andteachers, he found that all around the world they complain about salaries, parking problems, studentsnot caring enough, buildings being too small or classes being too large, and even of mud because of construction. Although he felt the language barrier wasn't quite as great as is usually imagined,Critchfield stated, "It's embarrassing for Americans to go to other countries and find people speakingEnglish and you can't speak their language." He told of the taxi driver who took them 100 miles inland inJava and could only say . "dollars" in English. He told also of their visit to Miss Nona Glazer, who taughtin Western's Sociology Department, and is now a student at the London School of Economics.Critchfield was impressed by the country side in Java, the modern Europeaness of Singapore, and thenice weather in Prance. "The amazing economic growth in Australia is perhaps one of the mostoutstanding things encountered," he stated. He termed it a "boom country" with immigration into it andrapid industrial growth making it like the United States at the turn of the century. "Basically,"Critchfield summarized, "people are much the same the world over. There's nothing very original aboutthat statement but it's true just the same." / / ALUMNI ENGAGEDl l The engagement of Miss June KayKellogg is announced by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert W.

With victories over highly-rated Whitworth and Eastern Washington, the Viksare moving into high gear in preparation for the big ones this weekend, with Seattle Pacific on Friday, and PLC on Saturday. The round-ballers should have no trouble downing Seattle Pacific, even though theyplay on the Falcons' home floor. The Viks are going to have their "'-• hands full when they take on PLC, however. The Gladiators haven't dropped a decision to a league opponent in forty-eight games, and lastyear they were NAIA runners-up for the national championship. The Lutes have beat every other team inthe league by a substantial margin, but they are playing on the Viks' home floor where they have alwayshad trouble squeezing out a victory1. With a much improved bench, which includes rebounding TerryClayton, dead-eye Ron Saltis (he hit six for six and eleven points this weekend), and hustling DermCunningham, all backing up the starting five, the Vikings should out-hustle, out-rebound, and out-gun PLC for a high scoring 90-89 victory. ''Long Jim and Big Ron" Big Ron (the boys call him "Juggs") Croweturned in a terrific offensive performance over the week-end, banging in 54 points in two nights for a 27point-per-game average. Another high average man is Jim Greer, who throws an average of six head-of-the-key shots. Long Jim is no slouch when it comes to scoring either. He had 30 points for the week-end. Rugby makes its 1960 appearance tomorrow as Western meets the Vancouver Chargers in a game thatshould see the Viks off to another great season. Coach Joe Davis has nearly every member of last year'sundefeated squad ready for Saturday's opener. With Little All-American football players Jack Sim andEd Melbourne holding up the scrum, and Ron Ladines in the three line, the rugger boys look like solidfavorites. The score: Western 10, Vancouver Chargers, 0. As a note of interest, rugby is an internationalgame played all over the world mainly in countries that are, or once were, members of the BritishCommonwealth. It is rapidly gaining popularity in the U.S. and is played by such schools as Stanford,U.C.L.A., Southern Cal., and California. There are reports that Eastern Washington College may bestarting a team. Joe Davies, the husky coach of the Viks, has been trying to procure games with theCalifornia teams, in hopes that a yearly round-robin may be set up. The games could be played duringspring vacation. Thus far ntohing has been arranged. * * * # Last week, Western's championship swimteam defeated Eastern Washington in a one sided victory, by a score of 53-40.

Fridaynight the Vikings stopped the Whitworth Pirates' fast-break attack in the second half, coming frombehind to thump the Pirates, 71-64. Saturday night, Western overcame periodic slumps and finished fastto tumble the Eastern Washington Savages, 73-59. These victories were two that WWC needed intheir initial step toward the quest of the conference title. The Vikings lost to CPS earlier in the week, fortheir only conference setback. "New Heroes Are Produced" More important than the pleasing brand ofViking basketball being played is the fact that Western not only has a strong starting five, but also astrong reserve seven. Each game produced a new hero—a reserve who came off the bench and gotthose two points when it counted, who made that good pass, or grabbed that ever important rebound.Big Terry Clayton's play as a reserve on Friday night earned him a starting role for Saturday night'sencounter, when all the reserves played extremely well. But perhaps most noticeable was RonSaltis, who came off the bench late in the fourth quarter and dumped in eleven points to break up whatwas becoming a tight game. "A Bright Bloch" Bud Bloch's work was still another bright spot, as washustling Dermot Cunningham with his patented brand of ball-hawking. Incidentally, Coach Hubbard might have trouble picking his starters if these reserves continue to shine—again the mark of a good team.The starting Viking five, in all due respect to other Evergreen teams, must be regarded as one that will be hard to defense. Paoe 12 RUGBY Mogambo Leads the Pack By NIGEL ADAMS With the openingday of rugby season only one day away, Coach Joe Davies feels his squad is ready for Saturday'sopponent, the Vancouver Chargers. Coach Davies then took time out from practice to let this writer in onsome of the experiences of the early turnouts, just as the team came running by and almost stompedus into the ground. The Viking ruggers have an eight game schedule, five of them at home. Tentativepost season games include one with Victoria. This, however, is not definite. Prior to this season'sopener, rumors of a California series began to circulate. A complete report on this by Davies informsus that although he is working on it, no games have been scheduled. Blood, Guts, and Fifteen Men Theteam is lead very aptly this year by two big boys who have achieved small college honors by beingelected to the Little All-American Football Team. The players are Jack Sim (6'2"~ 220 lbs) and Ed"Mogambo" Melborne (6'3"-260 lbs.) Besides Sim and Melborne, Davies has all but two of last year'sundefeated team back. "Rugby Still in Infancy" As far as rugby is concerned on Western's Campus, here is a brief history. It was started three years ago by Davies in co-operation with the PhysicalEducation Department, and was to be mainly an aid in body development for football conditioning. Ithas grown in size, from a spectator viewpoint, to crowds of up to 600 or more people. Game time is2:00 p.m.; the place is the football field behind the gymnasium. Spectators are welcome and the onlyequipment necessary is a strong voice. As an after thought Davies mentioned that the best conditioner for rugby is running, and states that at least twice a week the boys run to the top of Sehoroe Hill, adistance of two miles.

Dear Mr. Hubbard, P.L.C. 75, "Viks" 52. The Question is how could it happen after theVikings' decisive victory by thirty points of the previous week? At that time they seemed to have everyaspect of the "Lute" attack solved. It can only be assumed that your team went to the Parklandcampus minus some weapon that is essential to victory. In the eyes of this writer that weapon wasdefensive desire. Early in the game the "Lutes" scored often and easily from inside, enabling them tobuild a substantial lead.

GIBBS' DuPont Shoe Service 1301Dupont St. RE 3-3251 from behind before, and the loyal "cara-vaners" in the stands were looking for adifferent story in the second half. But what came out of the Viking locker room s at the end of theintermission wa.s not gt; encouraging. When play resumed it appeared the Vikings had noconfidence, i They passed up shot after shot at the foul line, a previously fruitful location for the "Vik"jumpers. Incredible as it seemed, the Western men were unwilling to shoot anything but a lay-up. Thequestion was asked, "Don't they realize that a half is only 20 minutes long?" But the Vikings, 20 pointsdown, continued to be unwilling to make any attempt to score. The theme seemed to be, throw theball to somebody else. As the hands of the clock moved around and desperation began to grip the"Viks," wholesale substitution began. Resulting in more "Lute" scores as their under the basket screens fooled Western's colder reserves, the game became a runaway. What happened to cause Greer,Clayton, Vadset, Crowe and Mose, to pass up shots they have been making all their lives? What ever itwas, it cost Western the P.L.C. game. Will it cost them the title or a berth in the District playoffs? Let'shope not. If Western doesn't win this weekend they can kiss any ambition to go to Kansas Citygoodbye. Western's unpredictable play can mean only one thing, there is a certain team element thatis producing dissention and wrecking any hope Western may have for an outstanding season. Can therebe some dissention on your squad. JOHN LIVESEY Students, In order to obtain a desirable place topark, one must arrive on campus by 7:30 in the morning. By 9:30 the only room left is down on 21stStreet, which is, as I have been informed, just as good an area to park in as the M.R.H. or Highland Halllots. The person who gave me this information parks his car right next to Old Main, in the especiallyprovided faculty parking area. Of course he doesn't mind if students walk three blocks to class, but youcan bet that he wouldn't park his car at the other end of the football field, where the "21st Street ParkingLot" is located.

A L "Wistfulness and Haunting Aura" By YVONNE WESTMAN Outside it was bleak and cold.Rain fell unmercifully. Students hurried between buildings, crowded into the wide front doors, then,more slowly, found seats for themselves. This was the auditorium of the Music Building. A singer named Dylan Todd was scheduled to perform on this Tuesday morning. Of those sitting in wait, few .couldanswer the question, "who is Dylan Todd?" If you would now ask any member of the audience, he couldtell you. But you would have to see him yourself to really understand. You would have to share withhim in the emotion of an old English ballad, the laughter in the songs like "Old Woman In Our Town," and the wistfullness and haunting aura of the main selection of songs. "Goober Peas Make Me Thirsty" The audience was completely captivated by the quiet, unassuming manner of the young Kentuckian,and the unexpected flashes of humor he displayed. After the song "Goober Peas" was finished, Toddstarted from the stage, remarking, "Excuse me just a moment—goober peas always make me thirsty!"No, he was not an ordinary western singer. In his selection of songs many different emotions wereexpressed, and somehow the audience joined in singing, at first shyly, then with enthusiasm. By LIZSUNDSTROM Meet Your Legislators Leo Dodd this quarter is completing his third year on theLegislature. He is a member of Kappa Delta Pi, the By-Laws Revision Committee, Who's Who inAmerican Colleges and has been elected president of his class for two years. Majoring in music, Doddis an honor roll student and plays clarinet in Concert Band. During the last few months, the Legislaturehas been accused of in-decisiveness. Many feel that the body allows itself to be swayed unnecessarily by faculty opinion. Dodd says, "I feel that ASB at this time is in a very precarious position which, if itisn't altered by the students themselves, could be easily handled by the administration." ABurdensome Budget Dodd agrees with Barnhart that the budget will be a burden to the Legislature inthe spring. He stated, "Even though most of the Legislators are inexperienced, there are two or threecapable members holding the group together." He then went on to say that the budget has been in poorshape for the past year, but no one realized it until this year's efficient finance chairman, Jerry Baker,began "uncovering incongruities." Mike Barnhart, Legislature member, is constantly "appalled at the lack of communication between the student body and student government." In an interview recently, he said,"It is very difficult for the Legislature to be a LEO DODD truly representative body. However, I believethat student body officers are obligated to strive to achieve the ideal." For this reason, Barnhart is anenthusiastic supporter of the Collegian's plan to conduct a series of conferences with variousLegislators during the next few weeks. As chairman of the By-Laws Revision Committee, Barnhart and his committee made up of Doug Simpson, Gary Gerhard, Bobbie Brown and Leo Dodd, hope to make asharper distinction between the duties of the Union Board and the Social Board, increase studentmanagement of student activities, and promote greater continuity in ASB administrative policy."Young Boys Warming Up" Barnhart says that although the Legislature this year is composed of"younger boys with no previous experience," they are "warming-up nicely." He believes the greatestdifficulty this Legislature will have to meet will be setting-up next year's budget. Evidently, last year the ASB had a gaping hole in its pocket, and nearly $16,000 slipped through it. Mending the hole anddealing with the deficit will be a formidable task. January 29, 1960 WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN Page 3 ---------- Collegian - 1960 January 29 - Page 4 ---------- 8$® 8$« TAYLOR SPEAKS Half-Dead Fatted Calves By the time the speaker arrived, StudentUnion Room 11-A was packed to standing room only. The speaker came in, walked to the center of thecrowd, lit his pipe, and in ten minutes was finished. That was all the time it took Dr. Herbert Taylor tosum up his philosophy of life to students last Thursday, but by the end of the hour many might aswell have been sitting in the center of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. "I have some objection to presenting my personal philosophy, but if other faculty members wish to offer themselves up as fatted calves, then Isuppose I have no room for objection." But as the meeting progressed it appeared that all the fattedcalves were sitting in the audience waiting to be slain. The students didn't content themselves toleave when the philosophy had been presented. Some sprang to the floor waving hands. It was in theanswers that the atomic dust began to fall. "In the world today most people of the collegiate level aretrying to find means to attain positions where they will find the least possible work with the greatestpossible amount o* ease. This, in my considered judgment, will lead to the death of our civilization . . ."That was his comment on students of today. "We live in a world where we have seen a phenomenalrise of technological facilities without a concommit-ant rise of abilities to control these machines. Then we have an exploding population produced in part by this technology. We can't feed these peoplenow; we won't be able to feed them by the end of this century." That was why he predicted great troublefor the world by the end of the 1900's. "This culture has built within it a ritual death dance . . . the firststeps of the dance that will lead to the third World War have already been taken . . ." This was hisoutlook on the world as a scientist, a man playing his role as an anthropolgist. "Not an American" "Iattempted to train myself a long time ago to stop thinking of myself as an American, a Texan, aSoutherner or a human." When he explained that his value in being a scientist lies in this ability todisassociate himself and observe, the answer was given but hardly accepted. The audience still resented "you." "But my second reason is that I use the term to irritate you . . . to think." His value was not inbecoming a social crusader, he said, or to lead a fanatic cause to change society. That, he said, was for others, and would destroy him- as a scientist. But in presenting his observations and irritating thegroup, he thought he might be helping. As for saving civilization, "there is no way out" of the death-marches and ritual dances, "except insofar as you carve it for yourself." The mushroom clouds seemedto grow over the group as unsatisfied questioners kept stirring up the dust. Many of them indicated theythought he had no values. "The first value? That of knowing truth is the first value," he stated again. AsDr. Taylor rushed off to attend a curricular meeting of the faculty, there were a few of the audience whoremembered he'd said at the beginning that many questions could not be easily answered by his simplephilosophy. "It is divided in two parts. It is good to know truth; truth being arbitrarily defined as testingof rational hypotheses against empirical data. It is good to play one's role . . ." Some laughed as theyleft, some were disappointed, confused and upset. But by six, Room 11-A was almost as still as theaftermath of Nagasaki or Hiroshima. A lot of fatted calves were lying half-dead, but many of themdidn't seem to know it. wus Bachelors to Sell Bottles Western students are being caught up into thespirit of things as the list of WUS projects and donations continues to grow. All houses andorganizations on campus have been asked to participate in the drive. MRH has contributed $50 toward the cause and other houses have been planning money-raising projects, including do-nut sales, awishing well, a fortune telling booth, money tree and Highland Hall's traditional slave auction. Saga foodservice has donated a five day lunch and dinner ticket for the quarter valued at $85 which will be raffled off my Helmsmen members. The Bachelors Club will collect and sell bottles. Annual Chinese Auction toSell Slaves Next Friday two of the main events on the agenda will take place as Mike McVay and NigelAdams appear on the stage during assembly hour to M.C. the annual Chinese Auction. Faculty andstudent talent will be subject to student bid, with each bidder contributing the difference between his bidand the previous one to the drive. Slaves for personal or house use will also be up for bid. At 9:15 p.m.on Friday the Valkyrie mixer will take place. Admission is 15 cents apiece. A drawing will take placeevery 15 minutes and everything from desk lamps to mouse traps will be The WUS Committee busy atwork. given away. Page 4 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN January 29, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 January 29 - Page 5 ---------- The Major Upheaval A Drastic Major Reorganization By JACK RABOURN DOWNGRADE teachereducation? Since the advent of the new administration this question has •prevailed. It seems thatno matter how many times the question is answered, it is still asked again. Will the eacher Trainingprogram be changed? Will the Arts and Sciences program gain strength? Will the changes longawaited by many, faculty and students, and feared by others, be forthcoming? The answer isobviously, Yes. This has been implied many times by the Trustees and stated by the president. Eachtime he is asked, Dr. Jarrett looks a little shocked that it should be tendered. The answer is yes — theteacher training program is being changed. Changed to Teacher Education — not relegated toinsignificance, but strengthened by the change. Yes, the Arts and Sciences program is beingimproved — improved to make a place for the many students who will be coming here to take pre-professional work. "A College Not a Normal School" The faculty committees have been hard at workdeveloping and refining the new departmental structure, the faculty councils, the honors program and the new General Education program. Comprehensive programming, making allowances for the growth of an academic community, has real value in the exploding American educational system. Programswhich will fit the graduate of Western to feel somewhat qualified for the work he is to undertake.Programs which will entice the student to go on with his education following graduation. Programs which will invite the graduate to return for an M.A. or M.S. Programs which will make Western a college, not"The Normal School." When you return ten years hence, you will most likely find the administrationlocated in the Campus School, a newly constructed Campus School, four new dormitories, a newclassroom building, and an addition to the Library. These will be in addition to the current bulidingprogram. A great deal of the success of this program will lie with the State Legislature, which mustappropriate money, and approve the proposal to grant advanced degrees at Western. The work goes onin the many faculty committees, in the faculty forum, in administrative councils, and over coffee —all of this for the students of Western. What does all this leave you? The answer is simple: You have the opportunity, take it; work, study, express yourself to the faculty, to the administration and to yourelected representatives. They are all working for one thing; your best interests. President Jarrett HePlanted the Seed A Changing Curriculum By GARY ODEGAARD The big change came quickly andwithout a slow transition. The often circulated rumors concerning a de-emphasis on the school ofeducation were answered by Dr. James L. Jarrett with the following reply, "We will remain primarily aneducation school but our expansion in other fields will draw more students as well as benefitting ourfuture teachers. Anything our institution does strengthens our Teacher Education program. There willbe no antagonism between the Liberal Arts and Professional Education programs." In the neworganization the four existing departments—Sciences, S o c i al Studies, Teacher-Education, andEducation- Psychology will lose their identity to 18 new separate departments. The Education andTeacher-Training departments will be merged to form nine "Professional Education de-partmentss."Psychology now being taught by the Education department, will acquire full departmental status. Thedepartments — Philosophy and Library Science will be added. The Science department will be dividedinto Geology, Biology, and Physical Science (chemistry and physics). The Social Studies departmentwill be divided into History, Geography, Economics-Business-Government, and Sociology-Anthropology. Mathematics, English, Speech, Music, Industrial Arts, Men's P. E., Women's P. E., and ForeignLanguages complete the list of departments. The college program, will then be coordinated by fourcouncils. The four councils are to be General Education, Professional Education, Arts and Sciences,and Graduate Study. Each council will consist of eight faculty members chosen to govern each area.Better Teachers and a Broader Education "I am confident that the new departments will enable us toprovide the state with better educated teachers, and to offer students outside the field of education abroader choice of fields of study," Jarrett commented. The new organization, he continued, has twovirtues. "It provides for our professional education program, and it encourages the development ofdisciplines which have been somewhat hemmed in by our present structure." Disagreement onPsychology Disagreement was voiced on the question of creating a department of psychology. Somefaculty members feel that responsibilities of psychology education in the central area of teachertraining made it essential that psychology be taught by members of the professional education staff.The main counter-feeling was that contributions to the field of teacher training could best be developed ifpsychology was separated. It is expected that the Board of Trustees will discuss the proposed changesat its next meeting, but according to a college spokesman, organization of the educational programof the college has been by tradition a function of the faculty. Jarrett said that the new organization willinfluence selection of the 20 or more new faculty members to be added next fall.

By BOB STEVENSON, Collegian Artist, Columnist A mascot is a symbol which is supposed to bring good luck. Nearly every College and University, beingsuperstitious in nature, has a mascot of some form or another which, it is presumed will help the teamfight for victory. WSU has a Cougar and the UW a Husky. The University mascot has come to be astrong controversy on their campus in the past months. One faction advocated his removal ongrounds that he was not a pure-bred Husky. Out of this ruckus they received a pure-bred Husky (withpapers and everything) from the University of Alaska. Now the controversy arose as to whether the oldmascot symbol which had carried them through to victory should go to the Rose Bowl or should theytrust to luck and take the new mascot? At the present time both new and old symbols are losing out tothe Huckleberry Hound fan club. These students can't make up their minds whether they want a pure-bred or the national symbol of the canine. Have you ever taken a long and appraising look at Vic theVik? This fine fighting man is short with a dark beard and an unViking costume. Let's face it, KirkDouglas, he is not. The college puts out an innocent looking little blue handbook which is cramed full ofrules and laws, however, these are only a small percentage of the rules created and put into effect everyday. Regulations such as: one can not wear bermudas without long socks and a coed may not talk to amale guest while in bermudas. You can't walk across the lounge areas in slippers or walk in the hallsbarefooted. These little authoritative enactments tend to hinder studying, especially in the case of thefreshmen. She may obtain only eight late study permits per quarter, otherwise the lights must be out at11:00 p.m. in Edens Hall jail. A new phrase is gaining popularity, "every day in every way, create anew rule". Rules are spreading faster than colds in smooching season. WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN Announcements Artist-Lecture The Artist-Lecture series will present "the best dancer on two feet," Daniel Nagrin, to Western students, February 2. Nagrin has won acclaim for hisperformances in Broadway musicals, theatre productions, movies, televi-vision, and dance festivals.Critics were so impressed by his work in such musical comedies as "Annie Get Your Gun," "Lend AnEar," Touch And Go," and "Plain And Fancy" that they gave him the Donaldson Award for the BestDancer of 1954-55 seen on Broadway. Versatile Nagrin also had roles in the theatre productions ofIbsen's "Doll's House" and Wolfe's "Three Stories High." He appeared in the Kraft Television Theatreproduction of "The Scarlet Letter" by Hawthorne and danced in the movie, "Just For You."

January 29, 1960 ---------- Collegian - 1960 January 29 - Page 7 ---------- RUGBY First Rugby Loss The big and talented Vancouver Cats ended Western's nine match winningstreak last Saturday on the local rugby pitch. It was the Vikings' first defeat in two years. In the firsthalf, the two squads consisteintly racked each other up with vicious tackling and spectacular plays, butthe only score was Pete Napper's penalty kick to put Western ahead, 3-0. In the second period,however, the years of experience of the Cats began to show as they broke through for two tries on thejust as talented, but perhaps less experienced, Vikings. Keith Sigurdson ran the first try over for thevisiting squad, and Harry Schreiber converted to put the Canadians ahead, 5-3. Later in the half, NeilSmith fell on a loose ball in the end zone for their second try. Trudging into the dressing room with themuddy participants after the contest, the reporter questioned one of the Cats, a 6'8", 280 pound speci-man known as "Rocky." When asked about the game, he heaved a huge sigh and stated. "Man, thatwas real tough." BASKETBALL "A Derailed Express" By Tony Whitefield The Western WashingtonVikings' championship express was derailed last Saturday night in Tacoma, as the Viks ran into a hot-shooting and revenge hunting PLC Gladiator five. The Viks lost a 75-52 decision to the Lutes, whowere out to get Western for the 78-48 drubbing handed them by the Vikings two weeks ago. Westerncould never get started offensively against the Lutes, as they scored only one free throw in the first fewminutes of play. Everything the Viks threw up at the basket rolled around and out, and the Lutheranscouldn't seem to miss a shot in those first few minutes. Coach Jack Hubbard substituted freely in anattempt to find a working combination. Hubbard swept the bench in the first half, but the Viks werebehind 40-22 at halftime. The second half was a better one all the way around for Western. The Lutescooled off a bit, and WWC picked up a little steam, but were still outscored. The play was fairly evenlymatched, although a little ragged and loose at times. Ron Crowe, who was the game's leading scorerwith 22 points, kept Western's offense rolling, but the Vikings just couldn't make up that 18-pointhalftime deficit. "Pupil-vs.-Tutor Night" All in all, Western had a night. However, they were up against a hot PLC five, and had they not fallen so far back at the first, the Viks might have pulled it out after theysettled down and began to play b e t t e r . The many WWC students who made the journey to Tacomasaw a good Lutheran sqad. Western definitely has a much better ball club than they showed lastweekend, but do they have the attitude? This weekend the Viking five will be out to prove this point to the home crowd, as WWC plays host to the Loggers from the University of Puget Sound tonight, and theCentral Washington Wildcats tomorrow night. The Logger clash will be a "big" one for the Viking team, as UPS defeated Western earlier this year in Tacoma. Then on Saturday it will be pupil-vs-tutor nightwhen Jack Hubbard will meet his collegiate coach, Leo Nicholson from Central. Both tilts willprobably be played before capacity crowds, so come early and get your good seats! SAVE WITHOUR GASH AND CARRY DISCOUNT VIENNA CLEANERS 1-Day Shirt Service 206 E.

There is a NEWLOOK at Western, one of growth. OnHigh Street overlooking Bellingham Bay stands the new VikingUnion Building formally dedicated, December 4, 1959. "The very v o r t e x of the college's daily life, "the streamlined VUB is well-equipped with meeting rooms for clubs and committees, recreation room,music room, lounge, barber shop, coffee shop, smoke shop, card and t e l e v i s i o n room, publications area, and student as evening sun floods 'Rainforest' (the cover) and hot afternoon rays flood arose.... body offices. Across High Street from the Music Building, the two and one-half million dollarHaggard Hall o f Science is eager for operation. Supplied with thirty laboratories, shops, greenhouses, an aquarium room, a seismograph, and a planetarium, the Science Building is the "best college scienceplant on the northwest coast, " said Dr. Fred Knapman, Professor of Chemistry. In November, Westernwas granted a loan of $450, 000 for building the planned Commons Building and an addition to thewomen's dorm, expected to house approximately 208 co-eds. During the next few years, theadministration also hopes to complete the new student-owned Cooperative Bookstore, a men's dormitory, a gymnasium, a boiler plant and an addition to the college library. "College, as I see it, is anintellectual experience, not primarily either vocational training or a social romp: The best reason forgoing to college is to improve the functioning of ones mind, to increase the store of ones knowledge andto deepen ones appreciation for the principal human values, " stated President James L Jarrett lastOctober. Supporting his NEW LOOK policy, Jarrett encouraged the establishment of the HonorsProgram for students with unusual intelligence and urged the college's expansion in other fieldsbesides education. Said Jarrett, "We will remain primarily an education school, but our expansion inother fields will draw more students as well as benefit our future teachers. Anything our institution does strengthens our Teacher-Education program. There will be no antagonism between the Liberal Artsand the Professional Education programs. Western's new Honors Program was planned to supplementthe studies of eighteen exceptional freshmen with L Q. 's from i30 to 140. Dr. Erwin Mayer, Dr. Charles J. Flora, Mr. Sydney Mendel and Dr. Herbert C. Taylor worked as special tutors discussing theassigned reading and conducting seminars on such1 topics as "Darwinism. " In addition toparticipating in the eight-credit program, Honors students were expected to attend regular dailyclasses. April 4, 1960, Washington's State Board of Education adopted a set of "guidelines andstandards for the programs of preparation leading to teacher certification. " The new certificationrequirements effective on July 1, 1960, will increase the individual attention and guidance given the and the bricks of old buildings, the old and the new begin to merge... ---------- Collegian - 1960 July 1 - Page 3 ---------- student in teacher training. Dr. Ralph Thompson, chairman of WWC's council on teacher education, Dr.Don Brown, Dr. Charles Harwood, Dr. Bear-nice Skeen, Dr. Charles Flora, Dr. Bernard Boy- Ian, and Dr.Fred Knapman are presently meeting with the heads of the various departments to discuss thechanges necessary for the new certification requirements. The State Board's main aim in this newprogram is to mass-produce competent and efficient teachers. Foreign language majors will be offered atWestern for the first time next year in both the Arts and Sciences and the Teacher-Educationcurriculums. Students will have a choice of a field major in either French or German plus work in asecond language, or a French or German major. Forty-five credit hours work will be required for a single language major, or thirty hours work beyond the first year French or German plus fifteen hours in asecond language. This fall, Western will introduce a humanities program designed to revealrelationships among classes, and to eliminate needless repetition caused by overlapping subject matteramong the various courses. Art, literature, history, music, social science, philosophy, and the history ofscience will be incorporated into one program of study involving three master lectures each week. Underthis new plan, the earth and behavioral sciences will also be combined. Dr. Angelo Anastasio, Chairmanof the Planning Council, stressed the necessity of adjusting the plan to Western's specific needs. "It'slike a liver, " said Anastasio, "it has to be suited to the individual " Dr. Jarrett believes that presently,"entering college represents an intellectual coming of age for the student... there is going to be less andless room for the trifler, the student who merely comes along for the ride. " The NEW LOOK has come to Western and, according to Jarrett, "the American college campus is becoming what it has long aspiredto be: a community of scholars. " MEXICO--ONE BIG GOAL A folder-cluttered table, spanking newgreen travel bags: the group was ready to begin. As Ruth Kelsey, s m a r t l y dressed in silver braceletsand a large-collared coat dress, began to speak, the faces of the group became raptly attentive. Herewas a group of people from all over the northwest, a group whose ages and interests differed greatly, buthere theyhacbne big goal in common: a trip to Mexico. ITiss Ruth Kelsey, Associate Professor of An,will be conducting these people on a college-sponsored cour of Mexico this month. The trip is in theform of an art workshop, and students will v i s it museums and art centers, observe native craftsmenworking in a variety of media, and study both ancient and contemporary Mexican architecture. Accordingto Miss Kelsey, who is conducting the tour for the third consecutive year, there is a great deal to see inMexico, and it has been the experience of a lifetime for those who have gone on past trips. The groupwill leave July 6, agd will return on the 27th, with those who wish to extend the time staying on untilAugust L 'SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER... ' It is d i f f i c u l t to anticipate the r e a c t i o n of peoplewhen you mention the name of the play, "Suddenly Last Summer. " Most people conjour up the image ofLiz Taylor; unfortunately, this is not the image of Catherine Holly that I see or will attempt to build as Idirect one of Tennessee Williams' most controversial plays. There is not enough time to completelyoutline Catherine's character; therefore, I would only suggest that it is one of a girl with two virtues that cause her untold humiliation and suffering. Catherine cannot help but tell the truth and her integrity will not allow her to change her story even though it means the loss of a lot of money. The biggest job of thedirector in this play is to show the effect of a great deal of money and power in the hands of a sickwoman. Mrs. Venable is this character; she is sick and powerful, and if she has her way she will have ayoung girl destroyed in order to save her warped memory. Tennessee Williams has been called sick,and the play has also been called sick. I submit that i these value judgements have nothing to do with the j play. It is as real as life could be, and by doing [ the play in the Union Lounge I hope to illustrate theskill and talents of this playwright as he opens the; Venable closet door and allows the skeletons to fallout. Not in the distorted pattern of splendor and imagination that is Hollywood, but in the frame of life thatis seen over and over again. What happens in this play is for the most part unquestionably real thepeople are real and you will realize this as you observe them in Sebastian's garden, which is aptlydescribed by the young doctor as a "well-groomed jungle.

Our own president, Dr. James Jarrett, in a speech before an educational subcommittee on higher education, questioned "the wisdom of continuing present lax admission standards. " *ThusDr. Jarrett recommended that a study be made "of more selective admission requirements by thecolleges. " (At the present time an entering student at WWC must have a 2.0 gpa.) This reporter wouldquestion the wisdom of the above statements on the grounds that it not only excludes some studentswho would have succeeded, but it also places an over-emphasis on the subjective value judgments ofthe pupil's teacher. According to Mr. Arthur Combs, a visiting faculty member from the University ofFlorida, grading is a false method of evaluation which will eventually be eliminated in our public schoolsystem. He also stated that he knew of "no real reason under the sun for grading. " It serves only as ameans to force the student to please the professor. Certainly by making conformity a requirement in order to enter a college defeats the real purpose behind our American institution. Mr. Combs is not sayingthat the student should be viewed as an individual without reference to society and social needs. Butwhen a fairly stable cutting line is drawn at a high mid-point of 2.5, one almost automatically excludessome who would have succeeded. Thus we would suggest that the establishing of the line should bedrawn at such a point as to insure the inclusion of all those who could possibly make good. CertainlyAmerica can afford to have those who cannot make the grade drop out, since each individual pays thetaxes which support these colleges. Our democratic society cannot afford to lose even one potentialleader. ---------- Collegian - 1960 July 1 - Page 5 ---------- segregate the intellects ? To segregate the intellects or not to segregate the intellects--that is one of themost pressing educational questions of the day. It is to the educator that the task of developingtomorrow's citizen falls; to him the job of fashioning the nation's future leaders is given. Who will theseleaders be and how can we prepare them ? It was Plato, the great Greek philosopher, who first gave usthe clue--"We must watch them from their earliest childhood. We must select those who are tenacious of memory and hard to deceive... We must impose upon them, too, labors and vexations andcontests...testing them more rigorously than gold is tested in the fire." Even then, the need for segregated education was acknowledged. It is true that the United States is committed to mass education, but it is also truethat, by the principle of equal opportunities, the gifted must be provided for. Let us, then, compare theintellectually segregated to the integrated classroom. First, let us examine the case for the 'mixedintellect* classroom. In an atmosphere where all students are treated the same, regardless of theirintellectual capacities, the mentally superior student learns to adjust to working with persons on a levelother than his own and he is given the opportunity to develop leadership qualities. The integrated posesno extra expense problems, nor is it subject to "undemocratic educational policy." other hand, we havethe case (and a much stronger seems) for homogeneous grouping. Certainly it is our gifted youngstersare one of the nation's most natural resources; thus it follows that developing potential leaders is one ofAmerica's most crit-responsibilities. When these youngsters are discovered and brought together inspecial classes, they are faced with the stimulation of competition. They are galvanized into moreextensive efforts by the challenge of problems on a level with their capacity. There is little wasted time,no 'deadwood les - sons. ' The student is allowed to go through study material as far and as fast as he is ab le, unhampered by s lower s tuden ts. And it is not only the superior student who benefits by thisgrouping, for youngsters of average intelligence usually receive more effective guidance when separatedfrom their intellectual superiors. -The Editor classroom outcries of On the one it true that valuablethese ---------- Collegian - 1960 July 1 - Page 6 ---------- RECREATION It's a long, crooked road, but if one keeps on it for a few miles, he will eventually arrive ata place of blue and green seclusion, known as Lakewood. It is here that students will gather in the hotsummer afternoons to swim and sunbathe, to sail or waterski, or just to get away for awhile and relax.The water here is clear an* cold, the trees are tall and Washington-like, the cabin rustic andcomfortable. Lakewood is Western's own possession and it is always available to the students; but there are numerous other places in and aroum Bellingham, where students can spend what leisure time theymay manage to secure for themselves. One can go to Bloedel-Donovan Park, a crowded, bustling publicbeach with lifeguard, hotdog stand and gymnasium, or he may go to any number of just quiet strips ofsand off Lakeway Drive or Chuckanut Drive If it is a carnival and cabin he wants, there is Birch Bay; if it is a boat to rent, there are Hagen rs and Roach 's. The Viking Union coffee shop is open from 6:45 a.m. to 9 p.m. and the Viking Cafe, the Royal and Tony fs Pizza are among the many places where a studentcan eat or drink. For movie entertainment there are twi indoor theaters, the Mount Baker and Grand, anda drive-in, the Moonlight. One may wish to go skating at the armory-turned-rink on State Street or he may want to bowl at Twentieth Century or Park Lanes bowling alleys. Then there is also the College's ownplanned Summer Recreation Program which includes hikes to Chuckanut, Sauk and RuthMountains, and, finally, Mount Baker. There are also industrial trips, shopping trips to Victoria andVancouver, B.C. , steak fries at Lakewood and trips to the Theater Under the Stars. ---------- Collegian - 1960 July 1 - Page 8 ---------- At Lakewood, swimming or being urged to swim, at one of the beaches clamdigging- - Wes ternrecreation is largely what students make of it. --In the surroundings of the college, there's plenty ofsummer i material... ---------- Collegian - 1960 July 1 - Page 9 ---------- JSllt llii A-L Presents Carole Larson "LIKE A QUEEN...
